Suppose someone comes up with a great original idea.
Some time later, someone else comes up with exactly the same idea without knowing that idea been conceived already and even without being influenced in any way by the other person's thought.
In other words, both of them make the discovery totally independently and not at the same time. For example, Leibniz and Newton invented Calculus this way; Cook and Levin established NP-Complete theory this way.
The idea from the very first inventor is no doubt considered original. But what about the same idea independently conceived by others later in time? I have no problem calling the latter original, although it seems less original than the very original one. Would there be a word or phrase that can readily convey the state of being "less" original?

The IBTR offers this discussion for informational purposes only, and the IBTR may revise its contents at any time without notice. This discussion is not intended, nor should it be construed, as a ruling on any specific appeal.
In Indiana, a property's valuation date, i.e. the date as of which the property's true tax value is estimated, may differ from its assessment date. Thus, a taxpayer must be aware of the assessment date he is appealing and the assessment date's corresponding valuation date.
For assessment dates after December 31, 2009, "an adjustment in the assessed value of real property under this section shall be based on the estimated true tax value of the property on the assessment date that is the basis for taxes payable on that real property." Ind. Code § 6-1.1-4-4.5(f) (2010). Thus, for the March 1, 2010 assessment date, the valuation date and assessment date are both March 1, 2010.
For the 2006-2009 assessment years, the valuation date is "January 1 of the year preceding the year of the assessment date." 50 IAC 21-3-3 (2006). Thus, for a March 1, 2006 assessment, the valuation date is January 1, 2005, while the valuation date for a March 1, 2007 assessment is January 1, 2006, and so on.
For assessment years 2002-2005, that valuation date is January 1, 1999. 2002 Real Property Assessment Manual 4, 8.
Although the valuation date will vary depending on the assessment year, parties must explain how their evidence relates to an appealed property's market value-in-use as of the relevant valuation date. See O'Donnell v. Dep't of Local Gov't Fin., 854 N.E.2d 90, 95 (Ind. Tax Ct. 2006); see also Long v. Wayne Twp. Assessor, 821 N.E.2d 466, 471 (Ind. Tax Ct. 2005).

Be Aware & Prepare
Fires kill more people each year than all natural disasters combined. Even though most homes have at least one smoke alarm, homeowners may be surprised to learn that smoke alarms are just one part of a state-of-the-art fire protection system.
Dollar for dollar, a smoke alarm is one of the best investments you can make to fireproof your home. They're affordable, typically between $6 and $40 each. And since they're constantly scanning the air in your home or apartment for fire and smoke, they act as a 24/7 "silent sentry."
If you're like most homeowners or renters, your home probably already has at least one smoke alarm. But it's important to remember that different smoke alarms rely on different technologies—and that they're not quite as simple as "set it and forget it."
A smoke alarm can detect a fire, but an automatic residential sprinkler system can take the next step and actually put that fire out. Studies by the United States Fire Administration (part of the Federal Emergency Management Agency) indicate that installing residential fire sprinkler systems could have saved thousands of lives and prevented a large percentage of fire-related injuries.
Fire loss figures are astounding—2,590 civilian fire deaths, 13,050 injuries, and $7.8 billion in property damage due to fires in 2009 alone. Considering their potential for saving lives and property, it's not hard to understand why residential sprinkler systems are becoming an increasingly popular part of homeowners' fire-prevention arsenals.
The idea of a built-in automatic sprinkler system may seem daunting, but they can usually be installed in new construction's piping or retrofit to the water supply of an existing home.
A key advantage of residential sprinklers is that they're specifically designed to react quickly, before fires have a chance to spread to multiple rooms. Newer residential sprinklers typically respond to a fire much faster than standard commercial and industrial sprinkler systems, limiting the fire's size and impact to a small area.
As soon as it's activated, sprinklers near the fire spray water on the burning object or area to control or extinguish the fire. The system doesn't deploy water from every sprinkler in your home —just the one nearest the fire, which helps control potential water damage to your home. This addresses another deadly aspect of fire—the water actually lowers the air temperature, potentially resulting in even fewer fire losses. Since residential sprinklers discharge water at low rate, water damage to your home is also minimized.
Installing a sprinkler system costs about $1.50 per square foot in new construction, and from $2.50-$5.00 per square foot in an existing home, depending on the complexity of the install.
One more important thing to keep in mind: installing or building with an automatic sprinkler system can help you save up to 15% on your Allstate homeowners insurance or condo insurance.
A quality fire extinguisher should be the final piece of your smart fire safety kit. However, shoppers may be surprised to learn that there are 5 distinct types of portable fire extinguishers—as well as various multi-purpose extinguishers—each designed to battle a different type of fire:
Remember, only use a portable extinguisher if the fire department has already been called; the fire is small and contained to a single object; there is no danger of toxic smoke; there is an escape route; and your instincts tell you using the extinguisher is safe.

I have a ton of labels. How do I tell Gmail to show all messages which are in my INBOX and have no label?
As of November 2012 this is now possible with a simple search
Source: Search for emails by size and more in Gmail - Official Gmail Blog
The short answer is: you can't. Or at least not with the way things currently work with Gmail. As you've probably noticed, your only options are filtering by a tag or using the archive to hide things. A glance at the advanced search tools show what you are after isn't really accommodated.
Your question is in a similar vein to those asking how to find unlabeled messages, and a similar answer applies. You can try and build a search that explicitly excludes every other label, e.g.:
You can build the search once then save the URL, but given you mention that you have a ton of labels I know it is far from ideal. If you have a look at the answers to questions on finding unlabeled messages you'll see you're not alone.
from http://raisedbyturtles.org/view-unlabeled-gmail/
The problem as I see it is that Google have renamed things, which means people have to figure out what they can do. It is possible to organize things so Google filters stuff so it goes straight into a folder. For example I want newsletters to go into a folder (sorry label) called "Newsletters":
In Gmail click on the gear wheel at the top right -> Settings -> Filters
Click "Create a new filter" and set up how you want to filter things
Tick the box "Skip the Inbox (Archive it)"
Tick the box "Apply the label:" and create the label "Newsletters"
Tick the box "Also apply filter to -- matching conversations."
Then click on "Apply" or "Update"
All emails which match your filter then disappear from the inbox, but you can access them under the label "Newsletters".
A message with the label "inbox" will be in the inbox. Archiving a message removes the inbox label, the message is then no longer seen as a part of the inbox. The message is still listed under the other labels associated with the conversation.
You can jump to any label using the label buttons on the side, or via search. Of course search can be complex and can show you conversations with multiple labels, or label a but not label b.
What can be confusing is that you seldom see the inbox label, because when you are looking at the inbox, the actual label is hidden. But all messages/conversations start with the inbox label unless they are archived.

text: Okay, so Nickelodeon did it again. They are coming out, or did come out with a new cartoon series called Rocket Monkey. It follows the lives of two monkey brothers named Gus and Wally. They are on a constant mission to defeat angry aliens that invade their habitat, (Earth). This lesson is going to be on "how to draw Wally from Rocket Monkey", step by step. Wally is one of the crazy, wild lovable characters that don't appear to be the hero until but is one inside. Instead of battling aliens, he would much rather sit at home and play games. He is also the lighter of the two, and he has an unstable appearance with the expression on his face. Have fun drawing Wally folks, and be sure to let me know if you heard of this series.

Football Is Back! (Wait: Already?)
When, exactly, did the NFL stop playing football? Wasn't it roughly 14 hours ago? New Orleans, yeah? Superdome. Power outage. Harbaughs. Beyoncé. Since then there's been quite the arid, extended, agonizing off-season. What's it actually been? Twenty-one days? Twenty-two? A little more than the gestation period of a hamster. Long enough! Time to return to the field. Vacations are for shirkers. We are ready and hungry for the football. Bring the football. Football. We need it. Come on!
Phew, here it is: The NFL scouting combine in Indianapolis, an annual, ultra-commodified ritual in which the league puts its incoming class through an elaborate, televised entrance exam. Players sprint, jump, catch, throw and furiously bench-press a 225-pound barbell until their upper body exhausts. There are drills. Catch this pass! Spin around! Now catch this one! It's all very sort of exciting, for the dead, empty cold of February. What the combine mostly proves—once again—is that the people will watch pretty much anything related to football, the nation's most important cultural pastime—after groaning about the Academy Awards.
The value of this combine is famously mixed. There is always the potential for a player's name to be lifted by a startling performance—Texas wide receiver Marquise Goodwin, who competed in the long jump at the 2012 Olympics, ran a blistering 4.27 in the 40 yard dash on Sunday. But there's a long list of NFL stars whose mediocre combine performances gave little evidence of their potential, including 2012 running back Alfred Morris, who was underwhelming in Indy, drafted 173rd, and wound up being the NFL's second-leading rusher as a rookie. On Sunday the NFL Network ran some comical footage of a wannabe quarterback wandering though a combine more than a decade ago. His 40 resembled a man crawling over the top of a cheesecake. But Tom Brady turned out to be pretty good.
It doesn't matter if this doesn't matter. Remember that the NFL is a league that successfully converted a bland series of long-distance phone calls—its annual player draft—into an Oscar night extravaganza at Radio City Music Hall. Football may be a game with very little on-field action (a 2010 examination by the Journal's David Biderman showed there's about 11 minutes of play during an NFL contest), but it brilliantly raised its interstices into an art form. The spaces in between aren't treated as dead air—just an opportunity to dissect the game and propel the obsession. Barely three weeks after the Baltimore Ravens shook the confetti off their uniforms, the combine announces that the mighty NFL is open for business again. (Baseball, meanwhile, rousts itself wearily, like Walter Matthau lifting himself off a living room couch.)
And the NFL combine makes for strange but upbeat television. Optimism oozes. Nearly every player has an upside, is a winner, a gamer, a worker. The truly gifted can "jump out of the gym" and of course "play on Sundays." Anecdote is passed off as evidence. Hopefuls tout determined credentials. (Technical question: Can every motivated player truly be the "first in and the last to leave"? Somebody's got to be second or third to the weight room, yes?) Head coaches look on from stadium seats, resembling lions on high ground. Super Bowl runner-up Jim Harbaugh, a pair of glasses tucked in his collar. Two time champion Tom Coughlin. Bill Belichick, wearing a Trinity Lacrosse shirt, rolling his head in circles in what looked to be a set of very disciplined neck exercises.
But the combine usually looks pretty slick, because it is pretty slick. This year's participants wore garish Under-Armour outfits that appeared to have been designed by a kindergarten finger-painting class. Household names are not abundant in the 2013 class, but there are intriguing sagas like Michigan quarterback Denard Robinson, who is trying to make the NFL as a wide receiver. There's no celebrity quarterback like Cam Newton or Robert Griffin III; the current favorite appears to be West Virginia's Geno Smith, a longtime student of art who was shown amid an interview with the NFL Network analyst Steve Mariucci.
Mariucci: You're into art. What's your favorite medium. Is it pastels, oil, watercolor? What is it?
Smith: Acrylic paint. Watercolor paint.
How this information translates into Sundays is unknown. The most significant aspect of the evaluation process are the official interviews between player and teams, but those aren't shown on TV. The weirdest sub-drama of this year's combine is easily the circus surrounding the Notre Dame linebacker Manti Te'o, who is still recovering after a bizarre saga in which it was revealed his deceased girlfriend was an elaborate hoax. It's an odd predicament, to say the least, but if you're familiar with the kind of off-field trouble that professional athletes can get into, an imaginary girlfriend doesn't sound like much of a headache for human resources.
But Te'o felt compelled to address the media, which he did adeptly, respectfully answering "No, not right now" when a questioner probed him: "Are you dating anybody in real life?" As if real life for an NFL prospect is challenging enough. The money may be swell, but the top three picks of this year's draft are likely to wind up with a grisly sentence to either the Chiefs, Jaguars, or Raiders.
The NFL combine might not be electrifying entertainment, but what constitutes entertainment anymore? Nothing is banal enough to ignore. You can turn on TV and watch people overcook shrimp or brag about their house cats or mangle the Great American Songbook. Elaborate dramas are constructed from ordinary workplaces and insufferable households. It's OK if you don't want to blow a winter afternoon watching wind sprints. What's important is that football is back. Before you even knew football was gone.

Music major Louis Lohraseb, a junior from Schenectady, N.Y., will join guest master-harpsichordists Findlay Cockrell and William Carragan for the Geneseo Symphony Orchestra's all-Bach concert March 23. Lohraseb, left, sits at the restored harpsichord he will play at the concert.
GENESEO, N.Y. - A grand evening of Bach awaits listeners when "The Three Harpsichordists" join members of the Geneseo Symphony Orchestra for an all-Bach performance March 23 at 8 p.m. at Geneseo's St. Michael's Episcopal Church, 23 Main St. The concert is free and open to the public.
Joining the symphony will be guest harpsichordists Findlay Cockrell, an emeritus professor from the University at Albany, and William Carragan, known for his research in both baroque chamber music and 19th-century symphonic literature. Geneseo junior music major Louis Lohraseb also will perform on harpsichord.
Cockrell will conduct a pre-concert performance of Bach's solo keyboard music beginning at 7:30 p.m., using the Geneseo Music Department's newly refurbished Herz double manual harpsichord. Cockrell has numerous performances to his credit, including appearances with the Oakland and San Francisco Symphonies with Arthur Fiedler.
The main concert will feature "The Brandenburg concerto No. 5, BWV 1050" with Geneseo faculty members Richard Balkin and Glennda Dove-Pellito on violin and flute, respectively, and Lohraseb on harpsichord. Lohraseb will join guest harpsichordists Cockrell and Carragan for two triple harpsichord concertos. Also on the program is a trio sonata with violinist Balkin, flutist Dove-Pellito, Geneseo faculty member and cellist James Kirkwood, and harpsichordist Lohraseb.
The Herz double manual harpsichord was restored through generous contributions to the Music Department. The concert will be the first time the instrument will be heard in public since its restoration.
For more information on the performance, call 585-258-5824.

So the question is:
Which of the following sets of vectors form an orthonormal basis for $\mathbb{R}^2$
$(a) \{(1,0)^T, (0,1)^T\}$
$(b) \{(\frac{3}{4},\frac{4}{5})^T,(\frac{5}{13},\frac{12}{13})^T\}$
I know that a is a basis and b is not. The thing is, I just don't know why. I know the definition of orthonormal is if two vectors are perpendicular and of unit length. But I don't understand how to prove or even find for that matter, the orthonormal basis of a space. Any ideas? Thanks

Top 10: Up-And-Coming Wine RegionsWe live in what is arguably one of the most exciting times to be a wine drinker. Mostly, that is, because of this phenomena: There are more great, reasonably priced bottles than ever before, and we now have access to wines from all over the world.
Now, this may seem like an obvious statement, but wine is a truly global commodity, and as such, it's always been available on an international market. These days, however, with emerging wine regions shining from all corners of the planet, bottlings from places that not long ago were a vinous terra incognita to most consumers are now having a serious impact.
The downside of this is that it can lead to confusion, and learning what's worth your time and money can be a bewildering, daunting prospect. That is why we've cobbled together this list of the top 10 up-and-coming wine regions that are worth learning about. Try bottles them all -- your palate will thank you.

The brain is one of the largest and most complex organs in the human body.
It is made up of more than 100 billion nerves that communicate in trillions of connections called synapses.
The brain is made up of many specialized areas that work together:
• The cortex is the outermost layer of brain cells. Thinking and voluntary movements begin in the cortex.
• The brain stem is between the spinal cord and the rest of the brain. Basic functions like breathing and sleep are controlled here.
• The basal ganglia are a cluster of structures in the center of the brain. The basal ganglia coordinate messages between multiple other brain areas.
• The cerebellum is at the base and the back of the brain. The cerebellum is responsible for coordination and balance.
The brain is also divided into several lobes:
• The frontal lobes are responsible for problem solving and judgment and motor function.
• The parietal lobes manage sensation, handwriting, and body position.
• The temporal lobes are involved with memory and hearing.
• The occipital lobes contain the brain's visual processing system.
The brain is surrounded by a layer of tissue called the meninges. The skull (cranium) helps protect the brain from injury.

Image of the Day: Yersinia pestis
Full Text:
This is a scanning electron micrograph depicting a mass of yersinia pestis bacteria–the cause of bubonic plague–in the foregut of the flea vector. The bubonic plague is a zoonotic disease, circulating mainly in fleas on small rodents, and is believed to be the cause of the Black Death that devastated Europe in the 14th century. Because the plague killed so many of the working population, wages rose with the demand for labor. Some historians have seen this as a turning point in European economic development.

Before + After Pictures: The Historic House By The Water: Master Bedroom, Part 1
Tomorrow Contractor Bobby is coming by to hang a thirty two inch flat screen on the wall opposite the bed, and I've spent a good deal of time figuring how to detail the wiring. Other than that, I think I can put this whole Master Bedroom project behind me. I could drag you through a recap of all the disasters, but let's be honest, do you really want to hear about the three hour bed saga or the ceiling that shot a softball size plaster chunk up my nose?
I didn't think so.
Anyway, here are some Before + After shots for your perusal...

OF COURSE we want to hear about the plaster up your nose! Isn't that what renovating is all about? (Please say yes)
The room looks incredible. Great work!!

It's lovely. I especially love the pillows and curtains. So pretty!

- Kelly said...
Aw. Thanks, everyone. Melissa, the striped hook is from Anthropologie. It's even prettier in person. My one complaint is that it doesn't come with the hardware, so I had to dig around to find screws that looked properly worn enough. I was so annoyed that I even called their customer service line to recommend that they change that. For eighteen bucks, they should include the connectors!

It looks great!! I am envious of your crystal doorknobs. Would be a senseless and costly upgrade to a 80s tract home but perfect in your older house. I need an old house with cool details, dangit!
Anyway. I love the black and white geometric shaped pillows. I have been feeling chevron and stripes lately. I need to get me some.

Absolutely gorgeous Kelly! I love the details, and I LOVE the purple in there. And I'm mad over the "Starbucks art" turned "You Are My Sunshine" piece.
- July 26, 2010 at 8:53 AM
- Kelly said...
Ah, Hiphouse, I was wondering if anyone was going to notice that piece in there! Isn't it funny how after all of my complaining about the purple undertones in the original blue room, that I painted it gray only to bring more purple back in?
I'm confusing like that.

Okay, name something you're unable to do. Please. I'm having serious pangs of inadequacy over here.

I cannot reach things on the top shelf or French braid my own hair. I'm also unable to watch a movie in the theater without ordering popcorn doused in butter. I can't spend money getting my hair done without feeling a pang of guilt. I can't discipline my dogs with a straight face.
The list is long.

Wow Kelly, your eye for color AND detail is just amazing. I love all the little touches that you don't see until you've been standing in a room for about 5 minutes...things that continue to surprise you even after you've spent the night in there. You've covered it all! And whoever said that is a sexy room is spot on! It IS sexy!!

Take Care,

- Kelly said...
Lisa, you can read about the progress here (that's the last of seven parts, if you want to work back through them):
I kind of had a Tim Burton meets luxury French hotel thing going on in my head when I was shopping for the Master. I wanted moody. I wanted sexy. I wanted personal. I wanted dark (not literally). But I still wanted it to be able to relate to the sort of mellow vintage mixed with modern thing that I have going on in the rest of the house. Does that make sense?
Also, here's a post on what I did with the bed that we used to have (it was Andrew's bachelor bed) when we were living in The Little Blue House for a couple of months:
I think beiges and lighter colors went well with it since it was so heavy.
Can't wait to see what you do with your space.

BYU basketball: Cougars very proud of what Davies has done with his second chance
Jonathan Hardy, BYU Photo
PROVO — BYU coach Dave Rose describes senior forward Brandon Davies' career as "really unique."
Davies is considered one of the best post players in school history. He has been named to the Wooden Award preseason watch list, and he could end up among the top 10 all-time scoring leaders at BYU (right now, he's No. 41 on that list and ascending rapidly, with 1,068 career points).
Last year, he posted the program's first 20-point/20-rebound game since 1975. He has a penchant for taking charges (31 last year) and he's known for bringing Marriott Center crowds to their feet with his rim-rattling slam dunks.
But as impressive as the 6-foot-9, 235-pounder from Provo is on the court, what impresses Rose — and others around him — even more is the way he dealt with a unique experience more than 18 months ago.
In the early days of March 2011, the Cougars were ranked No. 3 in the national polls and projected to be a No. 1 seed in the NCAA Tournament when the shocking news broke that Davies had been suspended for violating the school's honor code. The suspension — particularly the timing of it and the circumstances surrounding it — made headlines around the world. For a while, it even overshadowed the "Jimmermania" phenomenon that was taking college basketball by storm at that time.
While Davies became the subject of jokes in some circles, many observers praised BYU for its handling of the situation, for putting principles above winning.
And everyone wondered about Davies' future. Over the years, plenty of Cougar athletes have violated the honor code, but none faced the intense scrutiny and publicity that Davies did.
"With having a top-5 team and all the hype around that group and the situation that happened, it put Brandon in a special spot as far as the limelight is concerned," Rose said. "He had so many different options of how he could have handled it."
Davies could have transferred, declared for the NBA draft, or left to play professionally overseas. He could have allowed himself to be consumed by anger and bitterness. Instead, that summer, Davies voluntarily withdrew from school so he could begin the progress of returning to BYU, and then he worked with the school's dean of students in order to make that happen. When he was re-admitted in the fall of 2011, Davies said simply, "I'm excited to be back at BYU and look forward to the future. I'm grateful for this opportunity."
Rose is eager to watch Davies continue his development this season.
"For me, as his coach, and if you talk to the people on campus that worked through that situation, the progress that he's made and the fact that he's still here at BYU, trying to finish his career, they'd all tell you that we're really proud of him," Rose said.
"It's his senior year. He's earned a leadership role on this team. Hopefully he can continue to progress because one thing about life is, you don't make a couple of really good decisions, then life's over and you don't have any more decisions to make. Life goes on every day. I hope he can continue to do the right things and progress. The way that he's playing right now is an example to all of us."
Going into Davies' second game of his senior season tonight (7 p.m. MST, BYUtv) when the Cougars host Georgia State, his career so far "has been a learning experience," Davies said. "I've definitely grown from it, both on the court and off the court."
BYU athletic director Tom Holmoe is happy with the way Davies has bounced back from that challenge.

I recently went through and watched the two amphibious cars episodes (s8 e3, s10 e2). I greatly enjoy those episodes. However, I have an image in my head that I swore was from those episodes, but I just can't place it.
The image is of the guys out on the water, and one of them (May, I believe) gets lost and/or stranded/stuck. He's lost because they're going through these craggy rocks/island things, and are trying to get to some building (like a bar or something). I can't remember what they were on, but I could have sworn they were on their amphibious cars.
Does anyone have any idea what I'm talking about?

Beautiful !
Main Content
I'm speechless! Amazing picture.
just beautiful thank you
No doubt Best of February.
great one.....
great capture..... best of luck.
Lovely. (Aside from the creepy butcher's hut)
I saw the aurora once here in South Jersey when I was about eight years old. Scared me to death. I wished I had seen it as an adult.
The photo makes me think of earth as a beautiful, yet unexplored wonder.
Beautiful aurora borealis. I like the way light emanates from spaces in the shack. Awesome shot.
Just wonderful.
Cool picture from Canada=)
how beautiful world....amazing.
Looking forward to seeing the aurora borealis someday - how beautiful!!
Hope i can see it by myself one day
Aurora - the biggest wonder of the nature! ♥
ohhh great shot.
Beautiful. It would freak me out if I ever saw that in the sky. In New York, it's not commonplace. You can barely see the stars in the sky in New York.
mystical beauty
What a great photo. While in Alaska, my wife and I would gaze at the sky for hours
I wouldn't like to be in that little hut on a rainy night but a truely lovely photo.
nice one.........
be serene. let us learn how to express more in silence.
Magnifique! NG vous êtes les meilleurs. Ces aurores boréales qui dancent sur ce fond de ciel persillé d'étoiles et le smokehouse qui témoigne de l'ampleur du phénomène, c'est merveilleux...Bravo Paul Nicklen.
I so want to be that cabin and be able to go out and see that. A beautiful picture have to say one of my top 10 favorites
Outstanding sky view! Wish we could all see an Aurora like that, and in isolation ......so many stars to see!!
i love aurora
- ¡¡ Me encantan las Auroras Boreales !! Preciosa foto: lo majestuoso con lo humilde.

This is why NatGeo photographer's are the best in the world.
An amazing phenomenon
amazing beauty. thank you...
Does anybody know why some photos of the day are downloadable and some are not (like this one)?
very nice photos
Breathtaking,awesome,beautiful. The little smoke house against that wonderful background does it justice,in a picture that for me says, 'His and ours' Is there more that I can say? I think not. j.e.s.
The little shack gives it great context.
Amazing picture!
^ nice picture :')
I would stay there for so long :-)
amazing colors :-)
Really nice.

The 11 Most Unintentionally Hilarious Religious Paintings
Regardless of how you feel about religion, you can't deny that it has given us some of the greatest art of all time. Think about the pressure it puts on an artist -- Michelangelo painted the Sistine Chapel ceiling knowing that he was trying to capture the most absolute expression of beauty, creation and perfection imaginable.
It's really easy to get this kind of painting wrong. Terribly, hilariously wrong.
#11. The Introduction by Nathan Greene
Nathan Greene
Note how Eve's naked body seems to have been airbrushed green.
The Intended Meaning:
As the artist puts it:
"The Introduction is a stunning portrayal of that first moment of man's special blessing from God. A brand new world sparkles and vibrates with color and movement as Adam and Eve gaze with a wonder and tenderness to set the standard for all time."
Well, that's a noble idea. The Adam and Eve story is a tale of discovery, and innocence lost. A painting of that scenario didn't have to be ridiculous, but this one was anyway.
The Actual Meaning:
First of all, the artist clearly put a lot of thought into what objects to use to cover everyone's genitalia, Austin Powers-style, then discarded those thoughts and said, "Screw it, I'll just put a damned tiger there. It'll be awesome." And you know what, it was.
Nathan Greene
We're beginning to suspect that Adam may have had a thing for cats.
Then you realize that all of those animals are watching intently, waiting for these humans to get their bone on (also: note the phallic imagery of the giraffe's neck being erected into the sun).
The title (The Introduction) works in more than one sense, you see, because as you can see from his facial expression, Adam is clearly about to "introduce" something else into Eve after Jesus is done presenting them (we mean his tongue into her mouth, for smooching).
Of course, the big question is, what exactly is Jesus saying to Adam and Eve on this historic first meeting? Do they need instructions? Did he have to explain how foreplay worked? Would you be comfortable taking sex tips from Jesus? How are they supposed to be comfortable with their nudity when he's wearing a robe? Wait, this is the Old Testament, how is Jesus even there?
#10. The Undefeated by Stephen Sawyer
The Intended Meaning:
"We should realize that Jesus willingly fights and intercedes on our behalf.... He bears the scars of many previous battles, most of which are unknown to us."
The Actual Meaning:
How is this even Jesus? This is just a boxer with long hair and a glove that says "Mercy," which is clearly meant to look ironic as it pummels you in the face. And yet, "boxing Jesus" paintings are popular enough that Mr. Sawyer has done a whole series of them representing different emotional states and degrees of body oil application:
Art for God
Finally, a Jesus you could bang.
Art for God
Jesus is never actually shown boxing. Because "awesome" is apparently sacrilegious.
The other thing you notice is that Jesus is huge. Merciful? Yes. But he also spends a lot of time in the gym, and waxing his body hair. So that one day, all of us will ascend to a heaven where the body oil and steroids flow freely from fountains, and every surface is a mirror that we can flex into.
#9. Precious Ones by Danny Hahlbohm
The Intended Message:
The Actual Message:
This painting appears to be warning kids that strange long-haired men might be standing behind them at any moment, smelling their hair (and looking really into it). "If you feel heavy breathing on your neck late at night, don't turn around. Don't scream. It could be Jesus. Just stay very still and he'll go away, eventually."
In a religion that is constantly under fire for pedophilia among the priesthood, we would think that when sitting down and planning out a painting of Jesus and a small child, artists would be extra careful in making sure that it, beyond a shadow of a doubt, couldn't be taken the wrong way. But there you go.
"... Lolita was the wrong audiobook to paint to."
They couldn't just have Jesus sitting back a foot or so, maybe looking on with love and concern. They couldn't have his eyes open, maybe smiling with pride at the innocence and spirituality of this little one. Nope, he had to be leaning right on top of her, nose buried in her hair, eyes closed in ecstasy.
#8. Calvary by Stephen Sawyer
Art for God
What would Jesus do: black tar or China white?
The Intended Message:
"Only God will share in the fullness of your sufferings and never forsake you."
The Actual Message:
... but also, when you shoot up heroin, it's actually Jesus who gets high, so it balances out.
Seriously, there has to be a better way to depict that idea, because right now, it looks like Jesus' tendency for materializing behind unsuspecting people has led to a rather unfortunate misunderstanding, and the dude is so stoned from all the booze and drugs and ... decorative candles that he doesn't even realize he's about to inject someone else's arm. It doesn't exactly help that Jesus happens to have the same tattoo as him.
Once you've had stigmata, most body modification seems pretty tame.
Heroin dude's mistake is even more baffling when you notice that there's no space for his own arm there, meaning he forgot he didn't have one. He probably lost it in the same accident that reduced his friend to a skull on a lamp table.
But of course all of this is avoiding the obvious, which is that Jesus' expression indicates he is getting high as balls from this.
And while we're on the subject of Jesus and tattoos ...
#7. No Appointment Necessary by Stephen Sawyer
Art for God
The waistline of Christ starts about 4 inches above his bellybutton.
The Intended Meaning:
"It seems obvious that if Jesus were to shock the status quo in the 21st century with a tattoo that it would say 'Father.'"
The Actual Meaning:
Except that's not Jesus, that's clearly Eddie Vedder from Pearl Jam, or a young Jeff Bridges. If Jesus wanted so badly to "shock the status quo in the 21st century," why would he be dressed like it's 1993? The real Jesus would have a jet pack or a visor like that dude on Star Trek or something. And he probably wouldn't be looking at us with the intensity of a male stripper who's really into his job. "No appointment necessary," indeed.
Jesus wept ... because getting your sternum tattooed hurts.
Anyway, yeah, that "Father" tattoo is pretty sweet (obviously), but why do we get the feeling that Eddie/Jeff/Magic Mike here only wanted to show it to us as an excuse to unleash those biceps? What? No, dude, we don't want to see the "Holy Spirit" one on your pecs. Jesus.
Before you ask, yes this is the same artist who gave us the boxing Jesus earlier.
#6. The Senior Partner by Nathan Greene
Nathan Greene
For the Son of God, every day is Casual Day.
The Intended Message:
"Christ's presence is an integral part of daily life, no matter one's profession or calling."
The Actual Message:
Things have been rough for Jesus lately, financially, and so he has decided to go into venture capitalism. Or at least that's what this picture tells us. We know these paintings are supposed to be allegorical, but what part of the Bible does this refer to, exactly? The one where Jesus goes to the temple and negotiates a 15 percent share on all yarmulke sales?
The most bizarre part might be how casually the guy on the right introduces his business associate, who is literally Jesus Christ. "I'll get those estimates ready so we can discuss pricing and logistics. Oh yeah, almost forgot, here's God made flesh." "How do you do?"
Jesus, on the other hand, looks somewhat self-conscious about the fact that nobody told him that the dress code for formal meetings had changed since A.D. 33. "I honestly thought it was still robes and sandals. The ... the email didn't specify."

I'm looking for an upper bound on the first non-zero eigenvalue of the Laplace-Beltrami operator on compact manifolds of dimension greater than four that have constant negative curvature. In particular, I would like to know whether or not there is an upper bound that is less than $\frac{1}{2}n^2 - 2$, where $n$ is the dimension, for the case when the sectional curvature is $-1$. I can find quite a few papers on lower bounds, but the few I could find on upper bounds required information that is hard to obtain. Any help would be greatly appreciated.
Did you look in Isaac Chavel's book 'Eigenvalues in Riemannian geometry'? It contains various bounds for eigenvalues although at a quick glance I didn't see anything for your particular setting.

Ice Hockey
If you've got a pond in your neighborhood, older kids will love playing a pick-up game of ice hockey. Set a goal up on either end of the pond, make sure all the players have on extra padding to guard against any falls, and let them loose on the ice.
Just remember to always check the ice to make sure it is solid enough.

Calgary Flames 2016-2017 News and Updates
This year's NHL Pacific Division is as competitive as ever, and that has meant a tough road for the Calgary Flames in particular. With 53 points totaled through 50 games, Calgary's just out of the last-place spot, currently occupied by Edmonton (49 points in 51 games to date). With that being said, the Flames are on a bit of a hot streak, winning three straight over the Canucks, Leafs and Sharks this week. The San Jose win came on the road, 6-5 via shootout, which is definitely a shot in the arm for a team struggling to climb the standings. They'll host the Ducks on Monday and tickets are available from $19 if you act now!

2/1/16 - The Calgary Flames started off February just the way they wanted to, with a big W to add to their record. On Wednesday evening, the Flames took on the Carolina Hurricanes at the Scotiabank Saddledone. The Flames owe most of the win to one player, Sean Monahan. He had an outstanding game with three assists and four goals to top his career. Karri Ramo also played a major role in the 4-1 win by saving 28 goal attempts against the Flames. See if the Flames can continue to call themselves victors when they play the Blue Jackets on February 5. Tickets are still available and start at an affordable $18 each.
1/25/16 - The Calgary Flames are falling behind. It looks like the most recent series of away games took its toll. The Flames lost four of their five away matchups, as well as their first back on their own rink, meaning they are now on a three-game losing streak. Hopefully they will regain their momentum, now that they have their fans behind them again. The Flames' season record is now 21-24-3 and they are in the sixth position in the Pacific Division. Be sure to show your support and come out to cheer the Flames to their next victory. They will host the Carolina Hurricanes on February 3rd, with tickets starting at just $6.
1/18/16 - The Calgary Flames really gave their fans something to cheer about on January 13th. They hosted the Florida Panthers, and they completely destroyed their opponents. After shutting the Panthers out, the Flames' score came to six. This brings their record to 20-20-2. This also marked the Flames' final home game for a while, so fans were excited to see them off on such a high note. Unfortunately, the Flames have not been fairing as well on the road, and have now lost to the Edmonton Oilers and the New Jersey Devils. They will not return to Calgary until January 27th when they will host the Nashville Predators, so they are just going to have to hold out until then.
1/11/16 - The Calgary Flames trounced the Panthers when they beat them 6-0 on January 13. The Flames hit the ice ready to play. Sam Bennett scored in the first minute of play, and then Johnny Gaudreau added one goal and Bennett added another two for a hat trick before the close of the first period. Mason Raymond scored in the second period, and in the final minute of play Bennett got himself a fourth goal. The hat trick is Bennett's first in the NHL. Jonas Hiller at goalie had 15 saves and experienced his first shutout for this season. THE Flames next play the Oilers on January 16, and tickets are available starting at $58.
1/4/16 - Although they've had their struggles, the Calgary Flames snapped a two-game skid and won their third game in five tries with a 4-0 victory over the Colorado Avalanche on Saturday. Goalkeeper Karri Ramo shutout Colorado's offense as Calgary's offense knocked in three goals in the second period to take control which they would not relinquish. Upcoming contests at home versus Tampa Bay and San Jose could present a few more opportunities for the Flames to make up points in the standings, but they'll need to get rolling soon if they're to climb back into serious contention. Get your tickets for Sharks at Flames on Monday the 11th, with seats starting at just $12 apiece!
12/28/15 - The Calgary Flames ended a budding winning streak when they lost 1-0 against the Anaheim Ducks. The loss came after a 5-3 win against the Oilers on December 27. The Flames were down 2-0 going into the second period. Johnny Gaudreau scored in the third minute of the second period, but Edmonton scored soon. Then, the Flames found their groove, and Matt Stajan, Mark Giordano, and Gaudreau scored to take the lead. Giordano scored again in the third period to seal the victory. They were not as fortunate against the Ducks who shut them out. They next play the Kings at home on December 31. You can still get tickets for prices starting at $76.
12/23/15 - The Calgary Flames may have a 15-16 losing record, but their month of December has been incredibly successful. The Flames started the month off by hitting up a seven-game winning streak, which made them the team to beat in the NHL. Unfortunately the streak came to a close when the Blues crushed it on December 19. The Blues came to the game prepared and ready to cause some action early on. The Blues scored two goals in the first period and another one in the second. The Flames were able only answer to two of those goals late in third period, but it was too late. The Blues left with the 3-2 win. Get tickets today to see the Flames live.
12/14/15 - The Calgary Flames are on fire indeed! They added yet another victory to their now five-game winning streak on Saturday, beating the visiting New York Rangers in epic fashion. After scoring two unanswered shots in the second period, the Rangers attempted the come-from-behind win by tying the score 4 – 4 in the final moments. The game was forced into overtime, where Calgary managed to eke out one more goal and win 5 – 4. It was a fantastic victory for the underdog home team, who will now hit the road for their next four games. Tickets to the next home game against the Winnipeg Jets on December 22 start at $52.
12/7/15 - The Calgary Flames are doing a great job at keeping their hometown crowd happy. They have now won seven games in a row at the Scotiabank Saddledome, including their most recent victory against the Sharks on Tuesday. Markus Granlund, Mikael Backlund, Sean Monahan and Micheal Frolik each scored for Calgary. With the win, the Flames have now won three in a row, which is the first time that has happened so far this season. Up next for the team is a home match against the Rangers on Saturday, Dec. 12. A win against these league frontrunners would be huge, so be sure to get your seats to cheer on the Calgary Flames!
11/30/15 - A shoot out win against the Stars broke the Calgary Flames' three game losing streak. Dallas had an early lead on the Flames, and the second period closed with them ahead 3-0.

10/26/15 - After the Calgary Flames won their first regulation game of the season, everything seemed to take a total nose dive. The Flames lost four games in a row after their first win and were finally able to end the slump with a win over the Detroit Red Wings. The past few games haven't been as kind to the Flames, especially when they lost a close game to the Ottawa Senators in a nail-biting shoot out. The Senators were able to come out on top with a 5-4 victory. The Flames hit the ice on October 30 against the Montreal Canadiens, looking to end their losing streak. Get tickets starting at $67.
10/19/15 - This season for the Calgary Flames hasn't brought a lot of good fortune and instead has been very disappointing for the team and fans alike. Trekking along with a four-game losing streak, the Flames were beat again on October 20 by the Washington Capitals. Things weren't looking completely grim for the Flames as the first period ended at 1-1. It was after the Capitals scored three goals in the second period, that the Flames started to take a nose dive.

9/14/15 - Everyone knows Mondays can tend to be a drag, but hockey fans in Alberta have something to look forward to after this weekend is over.

The pressure is on for players new and old who want to prove themselves valuable assets on the ice. According to goalie Jonas Hiller, who helped the team to the second round of the playoffs last season, "the expectations this season are a little higher." The Flames recently resigned Karri Ramo and Joni Ortio, so Hiller will have to work extra hard to keep his starting spot.

2014-2015 Season
5/4/15 - After completing a six-game upset of the Canucks in the first round of the Stanley Cup Playoffs, the Calgary Flames were looking to make a statement against the dangerous Ducks down in Anaheim. Unfortunately, their momentum did not carry over from their wild seven-goal Game 6 against Vancouver. The Flames were defeated 6-1 to open their second-round series versus Anaheim, and then shut out 3-0 two nights later. Calgary's lone goal in the series came courtesy of Sam Bennett, late in Game 1 with the contest already long since decided.

Tickets are still remaining starting from $88, but claim yours soon because they won't last long!

Vancouver goalie Eddie Lack is coming off of his second shutout of the year, and will combine efforts with Ryan Miller in hopes of slowing Calgary's offense. The Flames, meanwhile, will look to scoring leader Jiri Hudler to spark their offense as they try to punch their ticket to the second round.

4/7/15 - It's still a tossup with three games left for the Calgary Flames, who are tied with on points , but hold the tiebreaker with L.A. for the second wild-card slot in the West. The Flames have two more wins in regulation and overtime (39) than do the Kings (37), which is the first tiebreaker for the postseason.
3/31/15 - If the current standings in the Western Conference hold up, the Calgary Flames would be the No. 3 team out of the Pacific Division, likely paired off with division rivals Vancouver, who are second in the Pacific. The Flames are currently two points ahead of Los Angeles in the race for the playoffs.
3/24/15 - The Calgary Flames are hanging on to the final spot in the Western Conference playoff race by the tips of their gloved fingers, leading defending Stanley Cup champs Los Angeles by just two points. Calgary could also move up in the final standings as well, sitting just two points behind Canadian rivals Winnipeg and Vancouver, and three points behind Minnesota.
3/20/15 - The Calgary Flames are working hard to stay within the top four teams in the Pacific division. Currently they are tied in points with Los Angeles and San Jose and are looking to win the next few games to break away from the pack. Unfortunately, the game on March 17 against the St. Louis Blues didn't go their way. The Blues were dominating for most of the first half and they scored their first goal at the eleventh minute of the second period. The goals just kept on coming for the Blues as they put three more in the net during the third period. The final score ended at 4-0 for the Blues. Watch the Flames try to come back from their last defeat when they play the Columbus Blue Jackets on March 21. Game tickets start at $33.
3/10/15 - Currently holding the eighth and final spot in the NHL's Western Conference Stanley Cup playoff chase, the Calgary Flames are another one of those teams that will be hard to predict where they finally end up at the end of the regular season. The Flames' position is rather precarious, however, with defending Cup holders Los Angeles, and San Jose – both Pacific Division rivals – hot on the heels of Calgary.
3/3/15 - As tough as the Western Conference is turning out to be, the Calgary Flames are right on the edge, tied with division rivals Los Angeles for the last spot in the race for the Stanley Cup playoffs, which will start next month. The Flames won six and lost six in the month of February, and are in the middle of an Eastern road swing.
2/24/15 - After opening their four-game homestand with wins over Vancouver and Boston, the Calgary Flames turned right around and lost their next two, to Minnesota and a reawakened Anaheim. Through these four games, Calgary's power play has managed to convert just two opportunities out of 12; the penalty kill, however, has been perfect.
2/19/15 - With six wins and four losses in their last 10 games, the Calgary Flames have moved, for the moment, into sole possession of second place in the Pacific Division. The Flames, who fell to Minnesota their last outing, are nine points back of front-running Anaheim, and a point ahead of Canadian rival Vancouver.
2/10/15 - Winners of three out of four in February, and four out of their last five, the Calgary Flames have moved ahead of their Canadian, Pacific Division rivals from Vancouver. The Flames, victorious over San Jose in their last game, are now tied for second place with the Sharks.
2/3/15 - Winners of their last two, the Calgary Flames are keeping close to the competition in the Pacific Division. The Flames, who are currently in third place in the division, are just two points behind San Jose, as well as being two points ahead of division rival Vancouver.
1/27/15 - With the NHL kicking off the second half of their season this week, the Calgary Flames have some work to do to stay in the hunt for the Stanley Cup playoffs this spring. The Flames hold down the eighth and final spot in the Western Conference, but they're just a point ahead of defending champs Los Angeles.
1/13/15 - The Calgary Flames find themselves at the back of a pack in the middle of the Pacific Division right now, but they are within reach of second place Los Angeles. The Flames are two points behind Vancouver and San Jose, and three back of the Kings.
1/6/15 - Much like there's a "Johnny Football," there's also a Johnny Hockey – rookie Johnny Gaudreau of the Calgary Flames. The left winger led all rookies with eight goals and 13 points in 14 games for the Flames, capturing the league's Rookie of the month honor.
12/23/14 - The Calgary Flames broke an eight game losing streak last Monday, claiming a 4-3 overtime win over Los Angeles. The Flames return home from a two game coastal road trip to face off against their provincial rivals, Edmonton, followed by a rematch with the Kings.
12/9/14 - Before the weekend the Calgary Flames had won five of their last six, and eight of 10. Then came a visit from San Jose, in which the Flames lost for the first time in December, 3-2 to the Sharks; the Flames failed to convert a power-play opportunity for the first time in five games.
12/2/14 - The Calgary Flames' schedule had them playing four games in the space of a week, and they remained hot, winning three of four..The wins included a shootout win over visiting New Jersey, plus two road wins, while the lone loss came at the hands of first place Anaheim.
11/11/14 - The Calgary Flames were a team widely thought before the season to be a bottom-feeder – yet there they are in third place in the Pacific Division, three points behind Anaheim. One reason could be the play of former Anaheim goaltender Jonas Hiller, who found himself to be the odd man out of the Ducks' netminding corps.
11/4/14 - One of the biggest surprises of the first month of the NHL season has to be the Calgary Flames, who have put themselves firmly in the mix in the Pacific Division. They're tied with Vancouver and San Jose for second place in the division, just four points back of Anaheim.
10/27/14 - The Calgary Flames have struggled in their last two games against the Washington Capitals and the Montreal Canadiens, but left wing Johnny Gaudreau is still having a great season, according to Coach Bob Hartley. The Flames are dealing with a rash of injuries that is not uncommon to hockey, but they know they cannot call a timeout and just have to keep running with the players that are well. On Sunday, November 2, they face the Canadiens again, this time in Montreal. With forward Markus Granlund joining the Flames on the ice, the team is hopeful that the game in Montreal won't be the nail biter the last one was. The Canadiens won in a shootout, and the Flames are hungry to regain the victory.
The Calgary Flames rocketed off to a hot start last year, only to fall out of contention by the time holiday season rolled around. The Flames showed sparks of promise throughout the season, but ultimately performed like a team in the midst of a rebuild would expect to. Further moves were made this summer in an effort to jolt the process along. GM Brad Treliving picked up Deryk Engelland, Mason Raymon, Devin Setoguchi and—most importantly—No.1 goaltender Jonas Hiller.
The Flames bid farewell to Lee Stempniak, TJ Galiardi and Mike Cammalleri, but maturing game from the likes of Sean Monahan and rookies Sam Bennett and Johnny "Johnny Hockey" Gaudreau. Head coach Bob Hartley has the ability to get as much out of his players as possible, and the Flames built a reputations the hardest working NHL team, so Flames fans are sure to see profits reaped in the coming campaign. From the Saddledome to the roster, a rebuild was inevitable—and like their sterling stadium, the future looks bright. Get your Calgary Flames tickets and witness the future of hockey right in Alberta.

My V brakes make a lot of noise when I brake!! I am annoyed by such noise not to mention the pedestrians. My Mechanic said that it will not make those noise after using for couple of days, but it is not happening, its already been about a month?
Should I grind the pads and then use it (I dont want to do this, its a expensive set)? Or there is some other way?
I did see this question but the answer was not quite helpful.
