FORT RILEY, Kan. (WIBW) -- "Big Red One" soldiers from Fort Riley, Fort Knox and Fort Sill are putting their skills to the test over the next two weeks in an effort to earn one of the Army's most coveted badges.
More than 160 soldiers in the medical field are training and testing at Fort Riley this week and next week. The Army medical professionals are striving to be awarded the Expert Field Medical Badge.
Testing includes a written test, combat trauma lanes, day and night land navigation and a 12-mile road march in full gear.
The combat trauma lanes allow candidates to experience possible real-world scenarios of a combat environment and measures how soldiers provide patient care in a stressful and dangerous environment. They are evaluated and timed on each task by soldiers who have already earned their expert badges.
"The Expert Field Medical Badge is a very, very prestigious badge within the medical community. Less than thirty percent of all medical personnel that try for this badge ever earn it," said Sergeant First Class David Meditz, the Non-Commissioned Officer In Charge.
"To earn this badge, the soldiers have to do a multitude of different tasks. They have to do Tactical Combat Casualty Care which basically is our care on the battlefield. It's how our soldiers take care of the wounded soldiers that are out there. They have to prove that they not only know how to do these tasks but that they're experts in their field. In addition to those tasks, they also have what are known as warrior skills. The warrior skills are our standard soldier skills- disassembling weapons, putting weapons back together, disassembling and putting back together radios, also moving under fire, moving in relationship to indirect fire. They also have to do communication skills. They have to know how to do a Medevac request, they have to know how to load our security communication setups within our radios, they have to know how to perform nuclear, biological and chemical contamination reports…We also have to know how to send forward exploded ordinance or unexploded ordinance and IED reports. And the last thing they do and one of the most important things they do is their evacuation skills. They have to know how load and triage patients to get them into a multitude of different evacuation assets, including trucks, ambulances and helicopters," Meditz explained.
Private First Class Jesse Venable, a candidate for the badge, is deploying to Afghanistan in two weeks and said the testing is helping him prepare for his deployment.
"It's pretty demanding, tiring as you can probably see and it gets really hot but all in all it's for a good cause to save your battle buddy out there in the war zone, don't want anybody to die, you want everybody to come home so it's definitely great training and it's intense. It's prestigious. It's more for myself to know that I'm competent, I'm capable, I'm continuing to learn and better myself in my job skill and it just looks good. If you have it, you have bragging rights in the Army," he said.
"All of our medical soldiers both enlisted and officers can participate and try to earn this badge. All of their jobs are in the medical field. They could be medical supply, medics, nurses, lab techs, medical service corps officers that are in charge of our medical platoons. All of the soldiers out here are medically related. We even have soldiers out here from veterinary command and from our dental command," Sergeant First Class Meditz told WIBW.
"Sometime during these two weeks, they're going to be pushed to their absolute limit. When they're pushed to their absolute limit, you're going to find out who has heart and heart is what it takes to earn this badge. They're going to be ready to quit and those soldiers that have the heart, those soldiers that are truly experts in their field, they will continue forward and those are the soldiers that we're going to see on graduation day,' he added.
All of the candidates will remain in the field throughout the two weeks of training.
The graduation ceremony will be held on May 10, 2012. The event is being hosted by Fort Riley and Irwin Army Community Hospital.

The entire list
A9 TV, October 29th, 2012
Ataturk is a Muslim who is a role model to everyone with his elegance and delicate style. If he were not like this, would we be here like this? The fanatics still growl. What would happen if they found the opportunity? However, some people are coming out against him. You are walking around with neckties, jackets, shirts and trousers. With such a style the fanatics would destroy you. Are you wearing a necktie? No way. We have a debt of gratitude to Ataturk. Thanks to Allah that He sent Ataturk to us. You live freely. We can openly speak of Islam and express our standing against fanaticism. If not , would it be possible to express our opposition to fanaticism? Due to a fanatics mentality, a man not performing prayers would be exposed to the death penalty. That is horrible and if you criticize this you will die. If you fell into the hands of a fanatic, he would kill you. What would we do if Ataturk did not exist? Ataturk is a role model for Islamic world. Ataturk provided great help to all of them. That is the reason why all Islamic countries admire Turkey. February 2nd, 2013, A9 TV
Adnan Oktar: Being a Kemalist is a comfort for us in living a Muslim life. Kemalism means that you live a free life like the Companions of our Prophet (saas) did. Look, if we weren't Kemalists, the ladies could not feel comfortable in this style. We would never gain this freedom in any other kind of system. The Nur students also would not feel comfortable. Fethullah Gulen's students would not feel comfortable. Ultra modern young people study via computers, study in universities, wear jeans, shave, and wear neckties. Therefore being a Kemalist is a comfort.
1 February 2013, Haber Türk
Serdary Turgut posted an article titled "I THANK TO ATATURK WHEN I SEE EGYPT". He mentioned that we owe Atatürk for our comfortable lives.
"While Islamic countries face bloodshed and tears, in Turkey, where the Muslim population consists of over 90 % of the public, we enjoy great comfort. We think this is normal, but the comfortable and democratic environment that we are living in is what we owe to Ataturk. People who criticize Ataturk ignore this fact, but if Ataturk surrendered to the conditions of his time, today Turkey would be worse off than Egypt. Our Muslim people need to evaluate Ataturk in scope of this fact."

Lawsuit filed over contamination from Ojai horse rescue
Neighbor claims E. Coli has spread to her property; rescue officials say otherwise
By Shane Cohn 12/13/2012
A horse is a horse, of course.
But when it's the main culprit in a lawsuit claiming the equine animal may be linked to Crohn's disease and the spread of the E. coli bacteria, a horse becomes so much more.
A lawsuit filed Aug. 30 in Ventura County Superior Court alleges that a nonprofit horse rescue ranch in Meiners Oaks, California Coastal Horse Rescue (CCHR), is neglecting its property, causing "offensive smelling dust clouds, laden with E. coli and other possible toxins" to contaminate the neighboring property owned by Camille Sears.
Sears, a tangerine grower, alleges that the dust from CCHR's operation is landing on, among other things, her tangerine trees, which will negatively impact her business. She is suing for emotional damages and compensation.
"I have received letters from buyers that said if E. coli is on the fruit, they will not buy the fruit," said Sears, who bought her eight-acre property in 1996. "We're looking into ways to clean off our fruit and make sure to clean it. … But that is not a solution. The solution is to have the horse ranch stop polluting our property."
Sears was also recently diagnosed with Crohn's disease, which is linked to E. coli, according to the lawsuit.
CCHR denies the allegations, saying it has been a good neighbor since moving to the property in 2008 and that Sears is the only person in the neighborhood ever to complain.
"The county has said we're fine and that we're in legal zoning," said Cindy Murphree, CCHR operator.
What's more troubling to Murphree is that the legal defense expenses are mounting, already nearing $20,000. With the lawsuit only in its nascent stage, the costs threaten the existence of the ranch and its horses, which survive, basically, by donations.
"If we have to move, we'd have to put down about six to eight horses because nobody would want to take them because of their needs," said Murphree, who has been involved with horse rescue for 16 years. "But we don't plan on losing the property and we're keeping the horses where they are."
Sears said that the lawsuit was the last-ditch effort after mediation attempts failed. But as an atmospheric scientist and air quality consultant, she feels it could have been avoided if the Ventura County Air Pollution Control District (VCAPCD) had responded to her original complaints four years ago.
Instead, the VCAPCD, she said, has been skirting around the issue. Dan Searcy, manager of the VCAPCD compliance division, said the district has sent an employee to the ranch on a few occasions.
"We've talked to the complainant about this problem. But the problem now is, it has been raining, so the dust is a nonissue," said Searcy. "For us to take any formal action, we have to do our own sampling and observe the problem."
Sears said that she had the dust from her trees tested by an independent lab and the results were conclusive for E. coli, which could be spread from the horses' urine and waste. Murphree hasn't seen the lab tests, but said the dust on her trees could come from anywhere, including the other horse ranches in the area.
"We have tried to be good neighbors and designed the facility to keep horses in the middle, a couple of acres away from Ms. Sears, four acres away from the neighborhood," said Murphree. "We're a longtime nonprofit who knows what we're doing. But I've never seen anything like this (lawsuit)."

This Sears woman sounds like a horse hater! Why is she picking on the rescue? B/c she knows they depend on donations. Hopefully the judge will see this is a "Frivolous" law suit and she will be stuck with the bill. Isn't she lucky it isn't a HUGE cattle ranch or OIL well next to her? A rancher would tell her just where to put her suit and a Oil company...well....good luck.
I hope some Lawyers or people can donate to stop this horse hater! I for sure will not buy Tangerines off her when the word gets around...no animal lover will...
So she can blame it on animal lovers who won't buy her flippin' tangerines.
And how exactly does she KNOW the dust is from THE HORSE rescue?
Hey Horse rescue ask for a JURY trial. The people will see what a mean-spirited spiteful old women Camille is.Meanwhile I won't be buying any PIXIE TANGERINES from ANYONE in the OJAI valley thanks to Camille SEARS, just so the others know WHO to sue when they get boycotted from Animal lovers.
It seems Camille is a court "Expert". Hmmm paid court experts can find anything anywhere and she has been complaining about horses for a long time. Seems she is a Horse hater.
So sad a Horse rescue that is doing "Good" is being harassed by a woman who makes her livelyhood lying Opps "Testifying" in court. Jury trial. E.Coli BS only scares uniformed people and who doesn't wash their fruit? How is it that she can determine What horses the dust came from? Sue the Wind lady.
I hope this judge has seen and heard enough of this woman to dismiss and let her pay all the court costs for a frivolous lawsuit.
If you google horses/manure and E-Coli, you will find that research has proven that no human has ever contracted E-Coli from horses or their waste. It appears that Ms. Sears is trying to spread misinformation to gain sympathy and discredit the horse rescue. Well, it doesn't work for me.
I looked up "Ojai Pixie Growers Association" and discovered that one of the orchards they purchase tangerines from is "Friend's Stable and Orchard." Friend's is a HORSE BOARDING FACILITY as well as a tangerine orchard! Pixie Growers obviously knows that Friend's has horses (and the dust they create) ON its property and doesn't seem to have a problem with it. This makes it very hard to believe having horses next door would cause Ojai Pixie to not purchase tangerines from Sears.

In group cohomology, for $H$ a finite-index subgroup of $G$ and $M$ a $G$-module, there is a transfer (or corestriction) map $Cor : H^* (H;M) \to H^*(G;M)$.
In homotopy theory, there is a transfer map for finite covering spaces $\bar{X} \to X$, and it exists for all coefficient systems on $X$. It is given on homology (say) by sending a small simplex in $X$ to its finitely-many lifts to $\bar{X}$. The group transfer is obtained from the topological one by the finite covering space $BH \to BG$.
There is a fancier transfer, due to Becker and Gottlieb, for any map $E \to B$ whose homotopy fibre is stably equivalent to a finite complex. Can this be extended to give a transfer map for coefficient systems on $B$?


text: Yes, it's possible to get a good stitch, but I concur with Hans in that the location was not well chosen for assessing the setup of the panohead. Even so, the one thing that would have helped to reveal parallax (the nearest upright post in the fence) is bang in the centre of an image and not in either overlap. It is possible to see significant verical parallax between the rail and the far background by examining seams between upper and lower row images in a PSD o/p. This amounts to a shift of about 14 pixels at full image size, so is far from negligible. More distant features show minor horizontal parallax shift, so I would say that the panohead setup could be improved.

I've seen videos around YouTube (like this one for a car) that show an ability to control a Mindstorms set via iOS (either iPhone or iPod Touch). I am just getting started with Mindstorms, but find this type of possibility very intriguing. How can I set this up? Should I use Bluetooth or something else?
We're looking for long answers that provide some explanation and context. Don't just give a one-line answer; explain why your answer is right, ideally with citations. Answers that don't include explanations may be removed.
As stated in the description of that video, the big issue is that the iPhone won't pair with uncertified devices:
I guess this is why there's an official app for Android, but not iPhone.
Note that the app itself is only available on Cydia, which I believe requires a JailBroken iPhone to run:
Edit to add (08-Jan-2013)
The recently announced Mindstorms EV3 includes the statement that:
While the new "EV3 Intelligent Brick" features:
It's possible to control a NXT with the iPhone/Smartphone although this method requires either another iPhone, Smartphone, Laptop or PC with access to the internet.
The full programming and building instructions for the 'iPhoneRobot' can be found on BattleBricks. The source code for the server application and the NXT program is also available.
It's a clever way of controlling your NXT without jailbreaking your device, but it isn't a perfect solution. I'd like to try it out myself, but I find installing the server app to be too technical and the community that produced the instruction don't appear to be active any more.
Something like this app may come in handy:
Note that for this app you must have a computer on the same network and have a bluetooth device on that computer. It's a bit of a workaround - You may want to search for some other apps that can use built-in bluetooth.
If you are looking for some info on sending commands over bluetooth, you might want to check out the link below:
It's a pretty good introduction into sending direct commands to the NXT over bluetooth. That's what all the videos are doing that you see. What's convenient about this method is that it doesn't limit you to only using one particular type of software to communicate - where if you use the correct commands any type of software or programming language can be used.
Best, Ryan

Okay so i did this. Good news: ubuntu sees my card now!! I can see every wireless network ever and pick whatever one i want. So my card can FIND connections
Bad news: it cant MAKE a connection. Not even to google. It will sit there for half an hour trying and failing to connect.
I will not however that on bootup this morning i was able to establish a connection for like 3 minutes so maybe theres something in the process of booting up that interferes after it loads?

Is it true that you have to stop and turn off your vechicle to switch performance programs.
comment by: adam . - 07/21/2013
Yes, you will have to stop and turn off the vehicle and follow the on-screen instructions when changing tunes. This device cannot tune on the fly. The new program has to be flashed onto the vehicle computer and the engine cannot be running when this process goes on.Patrick B - 7/23/2013
How much actual gain will I get in HP, torque,
comment by: Chris B - 09/17/2013
It is really hard to say. This system covers a wide range of makes and models, from Ford 6.2L to GMC 4.8L. The maximum possible horsepower gain will be different for each vehicle and engine configuration. Figures will be listed as: Up to XX HP and Up to XX Torque. Use our Vehicle Fitguide to find what the maximum possible gains will be. For example a 2012 GMC Sierra 4.8L could see up to 18HP and 17LB. FT. gains. A 2012 F-150 6.2L could see up to 26HP and 34 LB. FT. Actual gains are just about impossible to predict. The truck in Denver will see different gains than its twin in Death Valley. Climate and elevation will play a role. Further more, any pre-existing modifications will alter the gains. The maximum possible gains are calculated for stock vehicles with no aftermarket parts or any alterations. It is strictly based off the vehicle as it comes off the production line.Patrick B - 9/19/2013

I have a 2007 silverado 1500 new body style with a 4.8L engine with CAI and Flow Pro exhaust. Will this programer still work on my truck with no issues
comment by: Vince - 07/27/2014
According to my contacts at Edge, this tuner is confirmed as a fit for your truck, and your cold air intake and exhaust would not cause a problem, unless you have removed any of your factory sensors.Rachael H - 7/30/2014

I had great service getting my Edge programmer even after goofing and ordering the wrong one. (My fault). When I broke out the CS85150, the first step is to download any updates to the module that may have come out since production. This is where I ran into problems as I have simplified life by going all MAC in my house. The updates are only available in Microsoft Windows format. May have to borrow a friends computer to do this check. 176882

Review from a similar Edge Evolution CS in Performance Chip
Just got back from a test drive after installing an Edge CS in my 03 Chevy Duramax. Installation was straightforward with no surprises. I picked level 3 as my first test and WOW. It felt like I was driving my SS not a 7500 pound truck. I went on about a 20 mile trip and gained 2 miles to the gallon (on a fresh tank reset about 60 miles ago). In the photo I'm going to turn the bracket upside down, should have done that first but its not hard to change it. 211435

6 Happy Endings That Accidentally Screwed The Movie's Hero
We have previously pointed out how many movies only have happy endings because the film doesn't show us what happened after the credits rolled (and don't get us started on Big).
The problem is that 90 percent of the movie is spent piling challenges in front of the main character, only to try to resolve them all in the last 10 percent. Well, as these characters are about to find out, life doesn't work that way ...
#6. The Survivors From Predator Will Have Some Explaining to Do
In one of the most brilliantly insane cases of genre-bending since From Dusk Till Dawn, Dutch (Arnold Schwarzenegger) and some war buddies are sent out into the Guatemalan jungle to fight a bunch of rebels. The mission goes pretty smoothly until an invisible alien shows up and kills everyone.
Which, if we remember our history right, was basically the Korean War.
The Ending:
Everyone, that is, but Arnold and a female POW. Arnie defeats the Predator, who detonates himself with a self-destruct mechanism/suicide bomb. Meanwhile, Arnie and the girl escape in a helicopter and the good guys win.
But After the Movie's Over ...
So ... when Arnold is in called to recap the situation to his superiors later, how the hell is he supposed to explain what happened to his team?
"I want an explanation without the words 'alien' or 'sudden river of acid'."
If he tells them it was an invisible alien, it doesn't paint a great picture of his mental stability. There is no sign the Predator was there other than a huge crater in the jungle. Yes, Arnold has the girl to back him up. But which is more likely, that a killer alien showed up on Earth, or that this crazy professional killer 1) murdered his squad and then 2) intimidated this woman into going along with his idiotic alibi?
We were already dialing for a chopper before we realized he wasn't in the room with us.
We know what you're thinking: Arnold could just lie and say the rebels killed everybody. But he didn't do that; in the second sequel, Predators, one of the characters tells the group that the only survivor of a 1987 Guatemalan mission gave a detailed description of the alien. He doesn't say what happened after the guy gave said description, but how could it have been anything other than jail or a mental institution?
Remember, Arnold's character, Dutch, is a gun for hire who does borderline illegal missions with a rag-tag group of even more questionable comrades. If you're hearing this story, you're going to assume one of two things: Either Dutch snapped from PTSD and slaughtered his crew because he thought they were aliens, or else the team got into some argument over a game of cards or who had the biggest biceps and murdered each other (and then Dutch went crazy).
Who needs cards when you have rippling sexual tension?
Either way, there's no way society is going to allow this huge, delusional, finely tuned killing machine to ever again sniff anything resembling freedom.
#5. The Little Girls of Kill Bill and Kick Ass Have No Future
We lump both of these movies together for a reason. Both follow a female main character out for vengeance against a crime syndicate. Both achieve this goal through wholesale, indiscriminate slaughter. One is full of snappy Tarantino-penned dialogue, while the other features Nicolas Cage as a Batman analogue with a mustache.
One of the sanest moments of his career.
And in both cases, the slaughter revolves around little girls. In Kick Ass it's the 11-year-old Hit Girl, and in Kill Bill it's the young daughter of the Bride, Uma Thurman's character.
The Bride earns custody of her daughter by killing the girl's father and every single person he knows. Hit Girl sees her own father tortured and burned to death in front of her.
The Ending:
Kick Ass ends with Hit Girl happily going to school like a normal kid, smiling as she beats the shit out of a pair of bullies right as the credits roll. Kill Bill ends with the Bride weeping with joy and relief, while her daughter peacefully watches TV in the next room. All is well!
"Boy, I hope Daddy comes back from his vacation soon."
But After the Movie's Over ...
Let's start with the obvious: Everybody is going to jail.
Hit Girl and the Bride kill more people between them than some tin-pot dictators, and they do it leaving behind multiple messy crime scenes, including several settings where they were either on camera or where you'd expect there to be cameras (or at least witnesses).
Um, there was probably a janitor or something.
With Hit Girl, think about her connection to the title character of Kick Ass and his incredibly high level of media exposure (culminating in the criminal-massacre finale that's entirely caught on worldwide webcast). How long can it be before the authorities connect him and Hit Girl with one of the worst massacres their city has ever seen? In the eyes of the law, it doesn't matter that the victims were all drug dealers. What matters is that Kick Ass killed a prominent businessman with a freaking bazooka. At any point does anyone involved take steps to prevent evidence or witnesses? And this was all done while wearing superhero costumes the witnesses will easily pick out of a lineup.
The Bride's trial would be even more open and shut; she carries out her vengeance with the typical Tarantino level of subtlety, and she doesn't even hide her identity beneath a half-mask. Who knows how many people saw her come and go from her various rampages while wearing a "can't miss it" yellow jumpsuit. Oh, and her murder spree involved all of her former associates and the father of her daughter. Hers will literally be the first door the cops knock on.
So Hit Girl is going into the juvenile justice system and the daughter of the Bride is going into foster care (her father being dead and all). That, or they both spend their lives on the run, using fake identities, always living in fear of a justice system eager to get literally dozens of unsolved killings off their books. This isn't like skipping out on some parking tickets here.
Holy crap. Bear with us, but we reckon we have a theory here.
And then we have the emotional trauma. Hit Girl had absolutely no childhood beyond learning how to murder people. In addition to the fact that she's had none of the normal upbringing, role models or interaction with peers that would let her develop as a stable human being, she also has the memories of dozens of murder victims that will start weighing in on her once she learns to develop empathy. And no, these weren't self defense -- all of this was a mission of revenge. At one point, Hit Girl slices apart a woman in an evening dress as she tries to get away, simply because she was hanging out with the bad guys Dad hated.
"If I kill enough women, maybe Mom will come back."
The Bride's daughter? She was raised by murderers, then rescued by another murderer who murdered the first murderers. That's a hell of a knot for some future therapist to untangle.
#4. Westley From The Princess Bride Will Be Hunted Down
The Princess Bride is a lot like '80s pro wrestling, what with all the ridiculous one-liners, choreographed fight scenes and Andre the Giant. There are so many charming lines and adorable moments that you can watch it five times before you realize it even has a plot.
There are literally 93 minutes of film that don't include this scene.
Basically, an evil prince is about to marry the beautiful Buttercup. In reality, he intends to kill her and blame it on a neighboring kingdom to justify a war. It's up to the dashing pirate Westley to swoop in and save the day.
The Ending:
Westley and his cohorts break into the castle. Even though Westley is too injured to duel with the evil prince, he uses his wits to get the prince to surrender. The good guys tie him to a chair, and Westley escapes with his girl.
Excuse us, we have something unmanly in our eyes.
But After the Movie's Over ...
"Evil Prince" isn't the guy's name; he's royalty. He has a kingdom, and guards, and an army. So Westley kind of picked a bad time to mend his swashbuckling ways and spare the evil prince's life. It's not like you can just break into the White House, strap the president to a chair and carry the first lady over the lawn and just get away with it. Especially if the president knows your name and where you live, which the prince does.
How far can we even reasonably assume Westley and his band of adventurers could have possibly gotten? The only statement the movie makes on the matter is that, when the sun came up, "They knew they were safe," which only makes sense if the prince was also a vampire.
Or a massive World of Warcraft fan.
But let's be optimistic for a moment and imagine that Westley and Buttercup will be able to defy impossible odds and escape unharmed. That definitely involves disappearing -- going away, changing their names, etc. Well, remember that the whole point of the prince's plan was to kill the princess and frame the neighboring kingdom for the crime. So he got what he wanted, right?
"So the moral is, if your foe has all the money and power, you can never win. Night, junior."

Carreno's performance last night was better than most of the performances he has given over the last 2 years. It was as if he turned back time. Last night he really did look like he could have danced several more years. He gave it his all, and it was a performance to remember. His chemistry w. Kent was riveting. His partnering was magnificent, and his technique was wonderful. Kent certainly has issues these days with holding her positions and balances. However, I thought that the depth of emotion she brought to the role more than made up for her technical lapses. When she and Carreno parted at the end of Act II, it almost brought tears to my eyes it was so moving. Her deportment is so beautifully elegant. Even though Dvorovenko and Herrera were superior Odettes in terms of technique earlier this week, those performances didn't have much emotional impact for me. Therefore, I felt Kent's performance was superior despite the obvious flaws in her technique. Murphy was so impressive as Odile, with amazing technical prowess (triple spins). Difficult choreography looks like child's play when she does it. How wonderful to see Susan Jaffe as the Queen Mother, reminding of all of the great performances that she and Jose performed on that stage. DeLuz has lost some of his technique, but it was wonderful to see him back on the MET stage. Sarah and Yuriko were much better in the peasant pas than earlier in the week.
Hallberg was very good as Purple Rothbart, but I cannot buy him as an evil character. Gomes is my gold standard as Purple Rothbart.
I didn't notice Osipova come out. What was she wearing? I saw Irina, Xiomara, Ferri, Jaffe and Paloma. I did not see Part or Wiles. It was great to see Bocca back to honor Jose as well. Steifel and Max B. were there too, even though they are not performing this season. I didn't see Herman. I don't think he was there. Hamrick (the future Mrs. Carreno) gave Jose a big hug and kiss (and flowers, I think) and then went to the back of the stage. Jose's daughters did not appear to interact with her at all on stage. I think the gray haired man who came out right before McKenzie was Barbee. Does anyone know?
Carreno gave many great, memorable performances on that stage which I will cherish in my memory. The first time I ever saw ABT was in the mid 90s. It was a Don Q. w. Susan Jaffe and Jose.
I would tend to be on the side of a spectacular farewell performance last night. Unlike some, I found Julie to be the most passionate and moving of all the Odettes I saw so far this season. (all but Michelle Wiles). Her vulnerability and softness in Seigfrieds' arms was heart wrenching. Her mime was wonderful and authentic. She told her story. "Here's how I got here". Unlike others, I find her arabesques to be absolutely right. Long before it became obligatory to hold those balances (especially in her entrance), it was correct to pique on "one" and recover to faille for the lovely arms and head movements. The music absolutely tells it to be so. She is so musical as to be an extension of the score, so I never know where the dancing begins and the music overlap. Few can master this. Ulanova was one. Not much more can be said of Jose and his extraordinary partnering skills. They were in absolute synch the entire time. I didn't let go of my breath until the final bourree off. I might add that Julie's soft , whispering battu into her slow final fouette before the final pose was breathtaking. And when she repeated that move in Act IV, now with the leg barely circling the fouette in a much lower mode, it spoke to her complete dejection and shattering of her love and hope for salvation. She has so many details in her interpretation that no one else manages. Brava!
Gillian, as others have reported, was beyond belief. Nothing technical stands in her way. But unlike some, I find her "gruffness" entirely appropriate. She's a villain, controlled and in cahoots with Rothbart. The fact that she comes across as so different from Odette and is still able to fool Seigfried speaks to his character also. It makes the change up all that more tragic. She doesn't need to have a relationship with Siegried. Her real relationship is with Rothbart, and here she succeeds, utterly. And I think the fact that Rothbart and Odile go in separate directions at the end is fine too. Surely they will meet up later to "divide the spoils", so to speak. Perhaps her other image is an owl, or a bat. Whatever, Rothbart has probably conjured her also and given her human form at his whim.
Jose was just so wonderful throughout, pulling out all the stops. His turns and even most of his jumps were age defying. But his partnering and stage manner stood out in every way. What a presence! He will be surely missed.
Most of the rest of the performance was of a higher caliber than on other nights. (IMO). The corps got it together, cynets and big swans looked great. And even the Act III dances had a higher energy than previously. Kudos to Susan Jaffe, looking very regal and sexy at the same time, so you could believe her momentary attraction to Rothbart. Like the other princesses, even she seems taken in by him. Given Hallberg's wonderful sinister manner and gorgeous lines and jumps, who wouldn't be taken in by him?
A big shout out to Joaquin! Nice to see you out of leotards for a change!
Altogether a great send off for Jose! The after glow continued into all the bows as others have mentioned. Great fun. Especially seeing Bocca do his little "rhumba" step on stage! The lady who I think others have identified as Ferri, I think was Vishneva, but I could be wrong . When she first came on stage with her back to us, I too thought Ferri, but when she turned around, I thought Vishneva. I friend who was at the party afterwards did not mention Ferri being there. Does anyone know for sure? Part came on all in black with VERY high heels! I didn't see Osipova either. I didn't see either Cornejo or Corella. But just seeing Jose's beautiful smile and honest gratitude at the bows was so worth the night.

Hi HWLOC users,
We are seeing some significant performance problems using HWLOC 1.6.2 on Intel's MIC products. In one of our configurations we create 56 MPI ranks, each rank then queries the topology of the MIC card before creating threads. We are noticing that if we run 56 MPI ranks as opposed to one the calls to query the topology in HWLOC are very slow, runtime goes from seconds to minutes (and upwards).
We guessed that this might be caused by the kernel serializing access to the /proc filesystem but this is just a hunch.
Has anyone had this problem and found an easy way to change the library / calls to HWLOC so that the slow down is not experienced? Would you describe this as a bug?
Thanks for your help.

To the editor:
I'm the guy who reads his Bible on our city bus or who might read it in public, and once in awhile I'll be seen reading it on a street corner, too.
My question is this: I want to ask a simple question for this Easter week to all - Has God come to Steubenville? I was walking on Fourth Street as people were gathering for the Jesus march, and I guess I was not properly dressed to walk or be invited, either, but the real reason I'm writing is to ask if there will ever be open air churches services in Steubenville?
For me to hear of crime, and not see an offer of hope to those who do it , I guess I'll wait for them to go to church, which might be never, but I feel it's up to us to do as God tells us to do - go out unto the public to preach the gospel. This is my question.

Are there any advantages to using copper rather than CPVC or PEX?
That said, I am a huge fan of PEX. It's been around for quite a few years now (though obviously nowhere near as long as copper), and for the most part is proven.
PEX can be used for troublesome water supplies that will pinhole copper.
From my experience, Copper is NOT RECOMMENDED for hot water circulating system. I'm having to replace my entire plumbing distribution system due to pin hole leaks near solder joints in the hot water recirculating system. The leaks are never in the joint, but typically a 1/4" to 2" away, always associated with an area showing green corrosion and usually where there has been the spread of the flux and solder. I'm on my 6th leak in 6 months... while waiting for insurance settlement to come in to repair all of the leaks in the ceiling. No leaks in the cold water distribution...but i'm replacing both. I've HAD IT with copper.
There doesn't appear to be a concensus as to what is causing the pinhole leaks, but it's a nationwide problem. Plumbers say "not our fault" bad material.... suppliers blame in on chinese copper pipe and fitting ... or the turbulence of the water. As near as I can tell it is caused by EXTERNAL corrosion that is accelerated by the warm temperature of the water and the solder flux that is oxidizing the exterior of the pipe. I call BS on the rationale that says its due to corrosion due to the moving water.

My website I'm creating for a company looks great but I just don't know the right CSS to put in the to make the "WELCOME" title show underneath. I understand that I should put a height, but then if I do that it will show a height for all pages as it is wrapped in an if statement. If on the home page show this widget, if not don't show it. So if I have a set height even if the widget isn't visible on the about page the height will still be in the way. So I thought height:auto; would do it but it's not doing that.
#home-services {
width: 100%;
height: auto;
clear: both;
margin-bottom: 30px;
margin: 0px !important;
#home-services section {
float: left;
width: 240px;
height: auto;
margin-right: 10px;
background-color: #aaa685 !important;
This is what it looks like across all browsers.
What else do I have to put into my CSS to have the WELCOME title move down just on this page? Any help is appreciated!

Growing up I remember my mom had a yogurt maker that came with its own individual glass jars. As a kid, I hated the sour taste of plain yogurt and would turn my nose up at it when offered with just some fruit and honey. I have to admit, it's one of my favorite treats now. Especially the thicker, less sour Greek yogurt. What I don't like is having to read and decipher ingredients on packages from the store. Something as simple as yogurt needs no more than a few ingredients. I like to make my own as it's easy to do without any special equipment. And yogurt with live cultures can be really good for you and you can make it fat free and get all the good protein without overindulging. What you'll need is as follows:
• 1 cup organic yogurt with active live cultures (it will say on label)
• 1/2 cup powdered milk (optional)
• large mason jar or other glass or ceramic bowl with lid
• instant read thermometer
• a cooler or oven that heats as low as 100F
• towels
If, like me, you prefer the thicker, less tangy taste of Greek yogurt you can take your finished yogurt and strain out more of the whey by lining a colander with some coffee filters (2 should be fine). Let the yogurt strain out of the colander into a bowl in the fridge overnight. Some people actually call this yogurt cheese. You can use it as you would sour cream or crème fraîche. Either way it's delicious!

Any hexagon in Pascal's triangle, whose vertices are 6 binomial coefficients surrounding any entry, has the property that:
the product of non-adjacent vertices is constant.
the greatest common divisor of non-adjacent vertices is constant.
Here is one such hexagon. As an example, we have that $4 \cdot 10 \cdot 15 = 6 \cdot 20 \cdot 5$, as well as $\gcd(4, 10, 15) = \gcd(6,20,5)$.
There is a quick proof here (pdf). The original proof should be in V. E. Hoggatt, Jr., & W. Hansell. "The Hidden Hexagon Squares." The Fibonacci Quarterly 9(1971):120, 133. but I cannot access it.
I am, however, intereseted in a purely combinatorial proof. I do not know how to approach this at all: I cannot see what the non-adjacent vertices represent and/or I do not know how to remodel their meaning. Can anyone help?
I have asked this question on math.se, I have not yet received a satisfactory anwser. (The anwser provided there, is somewhat combinatorial in spirit, but maybe one level down, from what I am looking for. It begins with "In symbols, the identity is..." and then only uses the in-or-out arguement to finish up. It would be perfect if someone shared a problem/application of this too.)
EDIT: To specify my question more closely, what I am looking for is some natural bijection between the two sets of triads that create the hexagon.

Reuse of top level components and event handling
I am unclear of how to capture events from a linked top levelel component.
Sencha designer offers a nice way to reuse components, but I have not found any good documentation on how to add event handling on the instance.
I have found no way to add events to the instance in a view and not ether a way to do it on the controller for a specific instance.
A basic example is that I have a class that contains a list.
I reuse this class in multiple view by linking the class to my view.
When itemtap event is generated in the linked instance I like to handle this in my active view and consume the information in same way as I can do if I had defined this list within the view.
I have read documentation on MVC but not found a solution for this.
But it is very nice to only have one copy of this class and reuse it in all views.
11 Apr 2012 10:30 AM #2
Not sure if this answers your question, feel free to ask more specific questions...
In the (Designer) section of the property grid there is an Events row. Click the + next to it to add event handlers to your class.Aaron Conran
11 Apr 2012 1:54 PM #3
To explane it a bit more.
I have a cardpanel containg a list and one form
The form has a field named projectId, that is updated when itemTap event is triggered in the list.
But If I now promote my list to be a Class, itemTap in list will not update my form anymore.
Yes it is simple to chnage the itemTap in the list to find the form and then update the field.
If I now add a new card panel that looks the same as the first on, and link my list into this card panel, I have a problem.
With linked classes there is no way to add an event to the instance.
So my problem is that I am reusing a tp level class in multiple other classes, and want to att an event to the instance of the list so it can update the corect form.
Any hints for a solution?
11 Apr 2012 2:10 PM #4
I understand now. For a concrete example:
Start an Ext 4.x project
Drag out a TabPanel
Customize the TabPanel
Link the TabPanel to both a top level Window and then a top level Panel
You would like to add event handling to an event of TabPanel for a specific instance. Like adding an event handler for tabchange only when used in the Window.
We don't handle this in a graceful way yet. You can override initComponent via an overrides file for that class and then add in additional event handling for that specific Window instance.Aaron Conran

delegatedEvent.jpgWhat about delegated events can they be used to solve this?
I played around with sencha touch in sencha designer with a button and that worked, but when I tryed the same thing with a list it did not.

LS3 Crate Motor Build - Late Crate Update, Part 2Written by on January 1, 2011 More Than 600 HP From A Pump Gas Small-Block With No Power-Adder? It's True. Check Out The . . .
Back in part one of our new GMPP LS3 testing ("Late Crate Update," Oct. '10), we subjected a factory-fresh LS3 crate motor from GM Performance parts to a series of performance upgrades, including a new Comp cam and GMPP CNC-ported cylinder heads. Applied to the already impressive powerplant, the heads and cam package improved the power output of the LS3 from 492 hp at 5,900 rpm and 484 lb-ft at 4,700 rpm to 569 hp at 6,500 rpm and 522 lb-ft at 5,200 rpm. As impressed as we were with the results of the head and cam package, we couldn't help but wonder if there was even more power available from the combination. Obviously, more power could be had from increased compression or wilder cam timing, but we wanted our power gains to come with little or no cost to driveability, and we didn't want to run costly race fuel.
Enter the stroker kit-not just any stroker kit, but one from Demon Engines and Procomp that consists of a 4.00-inch, 4340 forged-steel crank and matching forged 6.20-inch connecting rods. These components were combined with a set of forged-aluminum slugs from Probe Racing to complete the rotating assembly. The flat-top pistons featured the required 4.070-inch bore and valve reliefs for our 0.600-inch-plus-lift Comp hydraulic roller cam. The combination of the good bore and 4.00-inch stroke produced a finished displacement of just below 417 ci.
That stroker assembly represented a jump in displacement of 41 ci. The 569hp, 376ci LS3 produced a specific output of 1.513 hp/ci. If we apply that specific output to our new 417ci engine, we see a potential of 630 hp. Unfortunately, the specific output of the 417 will not equal that of the smaller 376 because the larger motor will require wilder cam timing to do so. We had no intention of running a more aggressive cam profile, as the additional benefit of the increased displacement would be improved torque, idle quality, and driveability. The hike in displacement would effectively tame the cam timing. The combination of the effectively milder cam timing and increased displacement should shift the power curve lower in the rev range, but we still wanted the ability to rev the motor for maximum acceleration when the time came. We hoped the increase in displacement would work well with the large rectangular ports in the GMPP CNC heads. If it sounds like we had high hopes for our stroker LS3, we did.
The LS3 stroker short-block was machined by the good folks at L&R Automotive and assembled by Demon Engines. The aluminum LS3 block was bored to 4.070 to make room for the pistons.
Prior to assembly, the Procomp crank, rods, and Probe pistons were given a precision balance job and assembled using Speed-Pro rings, Clevite bearings, and Fel-Pro gaskets, oil pump, and timing chain. It was necessary to clearance and space the factory windage tray to clear the stroker crank and rods. We installed the same Comp hydraulic roller cam that featured a 0.617/0.624-inch lift, 231/239 degrees of duration, and a 113-degree LSA using Comp hydraulic roller lifters. The CNC-ported GMPP heads were installed using Fel-Pro MLS head gaskets and ARP head studs. Finishing touches included a FAST LSXR intake and 102mm throttle-body, a set of 17/8-inch American Racing headers, and 65-pound injectors (the factory injectors will work at this power level with sufficient static fuel pressure).
Naturally, we were excited about the power output of our new LS3 stroker combination, but we subjected it to a computer-controlled break-in procedure using Lucas 5W-30 conventional oil and a new K&N oil filter. The FAST XFI management system was employed to optimize the air/fuel and timing curves, and Westech's Ernie Mena had the combination tuned to perfection in record time. The factory plugs were replaced with a set of performance plugs from E3 featuring Diamond Fire Technology. With the air/fuel dialed in near 13.0:1 and the total timing at 30 degrees, the 417 stroker thumped out peak numbers of 608 hp at 6,300 rpm and 570 lb-ft at 5,100 rpm. This easily eclipsed the 569 hp and 522 lb-ft produced by the stock-displacement LS3 run previously. Torque production from the 417 stroker exceeded 550 lb-ft from 4,200 rpm to 5,700 rpm. Compared with the modified LS3, the stroker combination produced 500 lb-ft 600 rpm earlier and carried that number 500 rpm later than the stock-displacement combo. Let's not forget that the stroker offered a gain of nearly 50 lb-ft measured peak to peak. Basically, the stroker did everything the stock-displacement motor did, just bigger and better. This will be one seriously stout street motor in an early Chevelle or Camaro, but we know our readers can't resist taking things to the next level. Check back with us next month a see what happens when we add a little boost to the equation.
Modified GMPP LS3 vs 417 Stroker
The graph tells the tale, as the 417 stroker offered significant power and torque gains through the entire rev range, increasing the power output of the LS3 from 569 hp and 522 lb-ft of torque to 608 hp and 570 lb-ft of torque. The gains were as high as 50 hp and 60 lb-ft of torque elsewhere in the curve, but the solid torque gain is something that can be enjoyed every time you even tickle the loud pedal. Not shown on the graph is the fact that the new combination improved the idle quality (by nearly 1 inch of vacuum at idle). Having all that extra torque means less need to rev the engine, though the stroker pulled hard to 6,500 rpm and beyond. We can't wait to see what happens when we add boost!

It was necessary to clearance the bottom of the cylinder bores to make room for the rod bolts. Procomp also supplied the 6.20-inch 4340 forged-steel connecting rods for the rotating assembly.It was necessary to modify the factory windage tray to clear the 4.0-inch crank. Washers were installed on the main studs to space the windage tray away from the crank, while a small mallet was used to fine-tune the tight spots. If you look closely, you can see the dimples where we "Ball-Park-Franked" the tray to clear the connecting rods.The Probe Racing forged, flat-top pistons featured valve reliefs to ensure adequate piston-to-valve clearance for our high-lift cam profile.Here are the internal components all organized and ready to install onto the short-block. Though the factory stuff had only a few dyno pulls, we elected to install a new timing chain and oil pump from Fel-Pro.We reused the Comp Xtreme Energy cam from the previous test. The hydraulic roller cam offers a 0.617/0.624-inch valve lift and 231/239 degrees of duration with a 113-degree lobe-separation angle.As before, the heads were installed using Fel-Pro MLS head gaskets and ARP head studs. These parts will be essential once we install the turbo kit from HP Performance.The GMPP cylinder heads featured full CNC porting to maximize airflow and power production. Arguably oversized for a stock motor, the port volumes would be even more at home on the larger stroker motor.The GMPP cylinder head featured 70cc combustion chambers. The combination of chamber volume, flat-top pistons, and hike in displacement resulted in a static compression ratio near 11.0:1.
We took the liberty of replacing the factory LS3 intake with the FAST LSXR manifold. Though the gains offered by the LS3 version are not quite up to par with those offered by the LS1, we were looking for every last ounce of power with this street stroker.American Racing supplied these 17/8-inch stainless steel headers for our dyno session. They were designed for a late-model Corvette. American Racing also offers headers for popular early muscle car/LS swap applications.After installing the 102mm Big Mouth throttle- body, filling the crankcase full of Lucas oil, and a computer-controlled break-in procedure, the 417 LS3 stroker pumped out 608 hp at 6,300 rpm and 570 lb-ft at 5,100 rpm. Offering more power, more torque, and improved idle quality, this 417 stroker was a huge success. Now all we need is a little boost!

How can one show that the number $2 \left( \cos \frac{4\pi}{19} + \cos \frac{6\pi}{19}+\cos \frac{10\pi}{19} \right)$ is a root of the equation $\sqrt{ 4+ \sqrt{ 4 + \sqrt{ 4-x}}}=x$?
Proving $2 ( \cos \frac{4\pi}{19} + \cos \frac{6\pi}{19}+\cos \frac{10\pi}{19} )$ is a root of$ \sqrt{ 4+ \sqrt{ 4 + \sqrt{ 4-x}}}=x$
Let $$f(x) = 2(\cos \frac{4\pi x}{19} + \cos \frac{6\pi x}{19} + \cos \frac{10\pi x}{19})$$
Then we claim that the following are true:
$$f(1) + f(4)^2 = 4$$
$$f(4) + f(16)^2 = 4$$
$$f(16) + f(64)^2 = 4$$
Noting that $\displaystyle f(4) \lt 0$, $\displaystyle f(16) \lt 0$ and $\displaystyle f(64) = f(1) \gt 0$, we can show the identity about $\displaystyle f(1)$.
In order to prove the above three identities,
We use the fact that if
$\displaystyle P(z) = z^4 + z^{-4} + z^6 + z^{-6} + z^{10} + z^{-10}$
and if $\displaystyle w$ is a root of $\displaystyle z^{19} = -1$ then
$$P(w) + P^2(w^4) = 4$$
After some (slightly tedious, but easy) algebraic manipulation, the above identity involving $\displaystyle P(w)$ basically boils down to proving that
$$w^{18} - w^{17} + w^{16} - w^{15} + \dots + w^{2} - w = -1$$
which follows easily from the fact that
$$ 0 = w^{19} + 1 = (w+1)(w^{18} - w^{17} + w^{16} - w^{15} + \dots + w^{2} - w + 1)$$
Now since $\displaystyle P(z) = P(-z)$, the identity is also true of $\displaystyle w$ is a root of $\displaystyle z^{19} = 1$
Thus applying the identity with $\displaystyle P(w)$ three times to $\displaystyle c, c^4, c^{16}$, where $\displaystyle c = \cos \frac{\pi}{19} + i \sin \frac{\pi}{19}$ we get the above three identities involving $\displaystyle f(1), f(4), f(16)$ and thus we are done.
This solution is basically the stupidest possible way to solve the problem. I'm just posting it in case the direct calculation here sheds any light on the problem, it probably doesn't though. Especially frustrating is this does not seem to show any connection between the discriminant $19^2$ and the cyclotomic field involved.
Define $e(q) = e^{2 i \pi q}$ so that $2 \cos(2 \pi q) = e(q) + e(-q)$ and $x = 2 \left( \cos \frac{4\pi}{19} + \cos \frac{6\pi}{19}+\cos \frac{10\pi}{19} \right) = e(2/19) + e(3/19) + e(5/19) + \text{mi}$. "mi" means mirror image, I'm going to omit these terms because there are a lot of terms involved. Since $x$ is real its square and cube will be too, that means (by algebraic independence of roots of unity) we must have the mirror image there too.. this save a bit of work.
Squaring it is a simple process it just means multiplying out the bracket and using the identity $e(q)e(r) = e(q+r)$. We get
Cubing is slightly more work but in the end we get
Note that I have also reduced terms, e.g. $e(11/19) = e((11-19)/19) = e(-8)$. There is another reduction we can make too, since the terms contain the complete sum $e(1/19)+e(2/19)+...+e(9/19) + \text{mi} = -1$ (which can be seen consider the points evenly spaced around the unit circle) we apply this reduction to get:
It is now very easy to see that this satisfies the polynomial $x^3+x^2-6x-7$ and in fact you could have figured out that polynomial from this method.
What I would really like to do is start with the polynomial and produce an exponential series solving it..
Sorry if this is a little off-topic here, but the question where it was topical was marked as a duplicate of this one.

As the warm weather season approaches and people begin to shed the heavy clothes layers of winter their thoughts naturally turn to getting in shape. Most folks claim that they don't have time for a regular exercise program, so the easiest path to a trimmer and slimmer figure is to decrease their food intake.
With this in mind, in comes Garcinia Cambogia, the latest weight loss craze touted by some to be a miracle weight loss product. This herbal supplement is the end result of an extraction process performed on a fruit native to Indonesia. After being featured on the Dr. Oz show, happy retailers have been unable to keep it on their shelves as the public clamors for this quick and easy weight loss solution. Simply take a minute to read some of the reviews on Amazon and you'll quickly see for yourself how effective it is and probably choose to purchase garcinia cambogia.
The manufacturers of this weight loss miracle claim that its effectiveness lies in a two-part process: 1) By suppressing the appetite and 2) By burning fat stores. Anecdotal evidence indicates that no change in diet or exercise is needed in order to achieve significant results.
The 'secret ingredient' of Garcinia Cambogia extract is HCA (hydroxycitric acid), and the product must contain at least 50%-60% of this compound in order to be rendered effective.
One only need take two capsules a day 30 minutes before a meal and drink plenty of water. Speed of weight loss will vary with each individual, and although it's suggested that diet and exercise are not required, one can certainly achieve accelerated results by doing so.
Garcinia Cambogia averages $40-$50 a bottle, but online price comparisons can reveal a purchase for a lower cost with comparable quality ingredients if the consumer does just a little bit of diligent price shopping.
Research indicates that this supplement may enhance mood and decrease emotional eating, a common challenge amongst the overweight population.
According to DrOz.com, one eight-week study conducted using a placebo with one group of participants and the supplement in another revealed that using the product in conjunction with a 1200 calorie a day diet yielded an average weight loss of 14 pounds during this specific time period.
While manufacturers maintain that this popular weight loss product is safe with minimal to no side effects, it is important to emphasize that one should always consult a physician when taking any type of new supplement, especially in anticipation of taking them in conjunction with other medications. It is also recommended that this product not be taken when pregnant or breastfeeding.

ok, i have one question, i got an error that my disk failure is imminent, i tryed everything possible to recover it but not success. then i completelly removed my ubuntu 12.04 by installing windows xp instead, but for some reasons, it now work fully with windows xp, but again suffers problems with ubuntu, displaying same message. is there any fix possible, please answer me quickly, i can not use windows i dont know lot to use it it s so hard. please help to back my best linux ever!!!!
Ubuntu is more sensitive to potential disk failure, and will tell you long before Windows does. Heed the messages Ubuntu is giving you. Your drive is failing. I don't care what Windows (especially XP) says. By the time Windows figures it out, you probably won't even be able to boot to the drive.
Yes, brand-new drives can fail. I've had this exact same thing happen with my Western Digital 1TB drive (it was a factory defect with that line of drives). Since it's brand new, you can get it replaced under the manufacturer's warranty. Do that ASAP.

We DO have insurance for all of our children, Seth just burned through the maximum yearly amount ($750,000) since he was so sick [and that's even with the plan year renewing in October, so he really did cost the insurance company about a million bucks!]. At least our insurance got Seth very nearly out of the hospital! And we have paid into the Medicaid system. All of the other babies are still fully insured, as are my husband, our older son and myself.

I just received the basic starter kit NN4 and while looking over the parts included and assembling it, two questions come to mind:
1.) What are all the baggies of parts, washers, o rings and such for?
2.) Why do I have a second camera plate?
3.) My 5DII has the Canon battery grip on it, and so the tripod hole is offset from the center-line of my lens, do I need something more to adapt this to get it centered? The manual states that there is some sort of offset plate that's included in the kit to relieve this issue but I don't see anything.

I have been working in a start up company since 3 years and 4 months. I did not avail any leaves until last year when I used all of it to take care of a dear one. Off-late, I have been feeling very stressed out and needless to say, I need a huge break. I have no more leaves to avail. And that's not it, we work on Saturday too. A team worked on a sunday and we were not granted a compensatory leave. When we demanded for it, we were asked to forget a compensatory leave. We have hence worked 13 days continuously. Should I continue to work here?
I worked in a company for 10 years and although I was contracted for 37.5 hour weeks, the minimum ever was around 55 hours a week, and my final couple of years averaged out at 95-100 hour weeks. I hardly ever saw my kids, and spent most of my time in airports or hotels.
So I left, started my own company and worked 50 hour weeks for much higher pay and satisfaction, being able to take my kids to school every day etc.
Recently I have joined another company, but have set terms on hours per week and salary as the thing that is most important to me is my family. I do still sometimes work all through the weekend if necessary, but it is no longer the norm.
Much happier, much less stressed and to be honest, I'm on slightly better wage.
Have a good look round - see what other options you have.
Never. People work in a company for 3 reason;
One of these are enough for me working in the company. But I think, you are not happy, I assume money is not enough for you (Just thinking because of start-up company) and you don't have good conditions. So leaving or not, It's %100 up to you.
But remember that, nobody didn't come easyly to where they are. I know a lot of manager they still work in Saturday also sometimes Sunday. For me, If I can't finish a task, project etc. in specific timeline, If needs, I work 7/24. Doesn't matter Saturday or Sunday. Believe me, that will be good for you.
Other way, I think you have enough start-up experience for yourself. Maybe you should search better job positions in other companies. Why not ? ;)
Also take a look at these articles;
Talk to a lawyer
Make sure you talk to a lawyer before making any big decisions such as telling your bosses what you think about them or asking to quit. He knows better than anyone what kind of proof you'd need in case you decide to file a lawsuit. That's a lot harder if you're not working anymore.
If you don't fancy using the law for all the bureaucracy and extra costs involved, you can still use said proofs to threaten a lawsuit and be paid not to. It's not illegal to threaten doing what's legal.
I'd hope being pushed into excessive hours is because a deadline is fast approaching.
If so, it should be over soon.
If not, the company will probably die as more employees burn out or become disgruntled, so it could be a good time to find alternative employment.
Unless you already know a good lawyer, I'd advise against that route. Even 100 hour weeks are easy compared to the frustration of dealing with the typical lawyer.
No, you certainly don't have to. Not all companies have this kind of policy, although of course it all depends on where you live and what field you're in. Do some research: try asking people in similar jobs at other companies how much leave they get before taking any drastic steps.
Some people may be happy working that kind of schedule. But if you're not, then you should try doing something about it. Personally, I would say this is not a normal or healthy situation and you shouldn't have to keep dealing with it, if you have any other options.

Dario Sattui Built a Castle to House His California Winery
Obsessed with history, he also restored a Victorian home nearby
Throughout the Napa Valley, vintner Dario Sattui is best known as the proprietor of a castle: the 142,000-square-foot, $40 million medieval-style structure that is the site of his second winery, Castello di Amorosa near Calistoga, Calif.
Calistoga Kingdom
The castle, which opened to the public six years ago, was built with a team that included a European vaulted-ceiling expert, stone masons and fresco artists to help ensure its historical accuracy. Its hand-planed doors were made with hand-forged nails; its bricks and tiles were salvaged from Austria, Italy and Romania; its dungeon is stocked with carefully reproduced medieval torture equipment.
"I'm in the wrong era. I should have been born 200 years ago," says Mr. Sattui, who designed the castle.
It was the same obsession with history that drove the recent renovation of his residence—a Queen Anne-style Victorian home situated just past the grape vines and down the hill from the castle. Mr. Sattui has spent $3.8 million to preserve the home and restore its period details.
On a tour of the house during the September harvest, when the property's vines hung low with purple grapes, Mr. Sattui pointed out period details such as walls decorated with vintage patterned paint rollers, intricately inlaid parquet floors and an ornate 1870s square grand piano that came with the house.
"Victorians often had eclectic furnishings," Mr. Sattui says.
That suits him well. The dining room contains a painted coffered ceiling, a 1905 hand-carved oak table that seats 14 and ornate Belgian and Italian sideboards.
Changes made to the original home aggravate Mr. Sattui. "I felt I didn't have the right to change history. I wanted to preserve the integrity of the house," says Mr. Sattui, who remains tall and fit at 71 years old.
Mr. Sattui's roots in the wine industry go back to a childhood dream of reviving his family's history. His great-grandfather, Vittorio Sattui, opened a winery in San Francisco in 1885 at a time when many small wine companies operated within the city, bringing grapes from Napa and Sonoma counties. The winery shut down during Prohibition, but the younger Mr. Sattui spent his childhood playing among the barrels in the building where the business had been located and listening to his great-grandfather's tales.
Mr. Sattui, the son of a cabdriver, grew up in Marin County, south of the Napa Valley. He was born John Daryl Sattui, but legally changed his first name to Dario a few years ago. His longing for the past notwithstanding, he developed a knack for starting timely businesses. He became a serial entrepreneur by college, first selling fraternity apparel and then European hippie footwear on campus at San Jose State University and the University of California, Berkeley, where he received an M.B.A. in the 1960s.
By 1975, he fulfilled his dream of relaunching his great-grandfather's wine brand, opening his first winemaking business, V. Sattui Winery just south of St. Helena, Calif. Realizing that the most profitable way to sell wine was retail direct from the winery, Mr. Sattui provided picnic tables, bread and cold cuts for visitors, and poured the samples himself, emphasizing fun over snobbery.
V. Sattui sells more than 60,000 cases a year, outstripping the under-15,000 cases typical of a Napa winery, says industry analyst Eileen Fredrikson of Gomberg, Fredrikson & Associates. The winery makes several varieties of the Cabernet Sauvignon, Zinfandel and Chardonnay for which the Napa Valley is famous, but perhaps is best known for its Gamay Rouge rosé.
In 1993, Mr. Sattui paid $3.1 million for a second property—a 171-acre spread in Napa County, 7 miles north of V. Sattui. The property, which came with a winery permit, included the large Victorian where he now lives, as well as a second historic home. He loved the homes, and eventually would envision building a castle on the land's stately hilltop.
His deal with the home's owner allowed the man to stay in the main house rent-free for a year, but when his time was up,he didn't budge.
"So I moved in with him," Mr. Sattui says, describing a year in which the elderly widower slept in one bedroom, he in another; they passed each other in the hallway in pajamas.
"It was uncomfortable. But you do what you have to do to get the deal you want," he says of his home. The man eventually left.
About 50 yards from Mr. Sattui's main home is a second historic house: Known locally as "the Nash house," it is one of the oldest in the Napa Valley. The 2,700-square-foot home was built in 1850 by horticulturalist William Nash, among the first pioneers in the region, who arrived by covered wagon on the Oregon Trail.
Around 1870, Mr. Nash sold most of his land to the Shamp family, which made its fortune in gold and silver mining, and they started work on what would become the Sattui home, according to the Sharpsteen Museum of Calistoga History. By 1904, the home had been sold to a German glue manufacturer and was expanded. It is unclear when the house achieved the 8,000 square feet, three bedrooms, five bathrooms and six fireplaces at which it now stands.
Mr. Sattui bought the houses knowing they would need extensive restoration—the larger home had bats on the third floor and no foundation. But he put it off. "I hate renovating," he says. Instead, he devoted himself to his growing obsession with medieval architecture, spending months touring Europe, sketching and photographing ancient castles, monasteries and farm houses.
Gradually, the dream to build his own castle on the hilltop took shape. He lured artisans from Austria and Italy to start work in 1995—using 200 containers of imported materials.
The castle, a short walk uphill from his residence, was initially going to be about 8,500 square feet. But Mr. Sattui keeps working on it. A portion being added now will bring the footprint to 142,000 square feet.
He took a more gradual approach to renovating his Victorian home. He refurbished some rooms about 15 years ago and redid the kitchen in the early 2000s, using the castle's fresco artist to paint a medieval vineyard scene on one wall. The house originally had been built on "pier blocks," or concrete supports, but even so survived the 1906 earthquake that destroyed San Francisco.
The major overhaul started three years ago. Projects included a $400,000 foundation installation, a new ground-floor bathroom, and the refurbishing and expansion of a 3,000-square-foot wraparound porch.
On the second floor is Mr. Sattui's bedroom; an office where he keeps his great-grandfather's work desk; and two additional bedrooms done in intense color schemes, one red and one blue. The blue room features a sitting area in an atrium with 20-foot ceilings. The third floor, once full of bat guano, Mr. Sattui says, is now a light-filled space used for a gym and a media room with the only television in the house.
Divorced in January, Mr. Sattui, who has been married three times and has a 22-year-old son, lives with his girlfriend, Irina Yartseva. He plans to complete the landscaping next, and then work on renovating the Nash house next door in a year or so.
He is taking it slowly, but he has a good excuse: He has spent the past four years restoring a 17,000-square-foot, 10th-century monastery outside of Siena, Italy.

Competition Comes to Cable TV in Illinois
Illinois cable TV consumers will be big winners now that state legislators have passed a law that allows new cable TV entrants to apply for a statewide franchise to offer service anywhere in the state (AT&T vs. Cable Plan Gets Boost, June 20).
The unanimous votes in both chambers of the General Assembly belie the contention that franchise reform is anti-consumer. Legislators were right to question the dubious assertion that new competitors, after investing billions of dollars in network upgrades, would deliberately choose not to sell service to large segments of the population. Market data show, however, that low-income households purchase cable services at the same rate as wealthier ones. While the bill includes provisions for build-out in all neighborhoods, even without them those demographic segments would be very much in play.

I was curious about the following sentence: "then the $n$-torsion on $E(\overline{K})$ has known structure, as a Cartesian product of two cyclic groups of order $n$" (found at http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Weil_pairing). There is no citation in the Wikipedia article to follow up with, but I am interested in generating these cyclic groups when E is defined over $\mathbb{F}_q$ and am wondering if there is a known way of doing this or what these groups will actually be (i.e., how are they generated?).
Thank you!

Yes, I have those steps: 6.1. and 6.2. Perhaps it wasn't clear enough to others, so thanks for the reply.
The real reason I can't keep my Main_View.js in Architect is it has to be edited in a way that Architect won't allow as far as I can tell. Things such as extending 'Ext.ux.slidenavigation.View' when creating my Main_View.

Ah reading your post again I see that now.
You can link the Main_View.js file at the top right of the Inspector + then Resource then JS Resource.
Configure the url to the same relative url in your path and then you can unlock it and edit directly inside of Architect.Aaron Conran

Hi !
I've created an Architect version of this plugin, you just have to create a components folder, add the .xdc file and in Architect Edit => Import Component => Select the file and drop it to your View
I've made a small modification to the plugin to handle the ST routes system, so you can call child element of SlideNavigation items.
Ask me if you need more informations :-)

Could you please give an example of how to create a basic setup (main view and slide navigation view) using the Architect plugin?
Thank you very much.

If you use the plugin I uploaded (I hope it works well by the way), you just have to drag it to the view, and then add some child containers to it (panel, list, etc.).
You can create these containers inside or linked from outside the SlideNavigationView.
The seconde step is to add properties to these childs items :
- xtype (automatic)
- order
- slideButton (the slideButton selector and id)
- title (the display title)
- group (from the group list defined on the SlideNav)
Important: This plugin currently doesn't work with the new ST2.1 release.

Future Architect Feature?
This question has probably been asked but do you think this can become an Architect feature in the near future? I'm also interested in seeing menu dropdown functionaliy in Architect (like the plugin shown in Sencha Market...).

Do anyone have this working with 2.1.1?
Just read the note saying that it does not work with 2.1
