It is about a few prisoners that are transported in a small van in to the country side, they managed to let the van stop and kill the cops with a big rock on his head (you see a dent in the head I remember)
After this they find a small wooden house in the mountains on a grassy area (not in dense woods). There is a Christian family in the house that are cannibals and try to eat/kill the prisoners. They had a cross above their door. They invited the prisoners in and made them comfortable, but turned cannibalistic on them.
I saw this movie around 2007 on DVD. I think it is American but I'm not sure.
I have no idea of the name. It is not one of the following:
- Wrong Turn 3
- House of 1000 Corpses
- The Hills Have Eyes
If you found a possible title I might be wrong because some parts are faded or I mixed up another movie. But the most important is that wooden house in the mountain area with some cannibals living in it.

How do you redirect other apps to your own app on Android
That is my question. I do not know why it was closed, as my question does not meet what it was closed for. I would like it re-opened. The question is actually a very good question, although the answer might not be known quickly. Is it simply the fact that I asked for some code because I am new at this? My question is possible, and I feel it is quite understandable. If it isn't, could someone suggest what I need too change. Thanks.

Native American Life on the Great Plainsby Liz Olson
For centuries beginning around 1600, Native Americans settled along the wooded and rich-soil banks of Northern Plains rivers. In the United States the Plains include parts of North Dakota, South Dakota, Montana, Wyoming, Colorado, Nebraska, Kansas, Oklahoma, New Mexico, and Texas. For the most part, the tribes of the Northern Great Plains were agricultural and trade-based societies. Upon European contact in the 18th and 19th centuries, many villages became major trading posts, bringing prosperity but transforming their culture forever.
1 of 11
Nomadic Dwellings
Teepees as seen above were a typical dwelling of many Native Americans living on the Great Plains. They were usually made by arranging poles into a cone-shape frame, with an opening at the top to release smoke from fires that burned within the teepee, and then wrapping animal skins over the frame for insulation. Teepees were especially good for nomadic tribes or hunting parties because they were easily transported from one location to another, and provided protection from the weather.
Fun Fact: Because of the adaptability of the teepee to prairie life, Gen. Henry Sibley used it as a model for the tent that bears his name.

By means of the Hopf fibration $\pi: S^3 \rightarrow S^2$, U. Pinkall showed that every compact Riemannian surface of genus one can be conformally embedded in $S^3$.
More precisely: Let $p$ be a closed curve on $S^2$ of length $L$. Lifting it to $S^3$ yields a torus isometric to $R^2 / \Gamma$, with $\Gamma$ generated by $(2\pi, 0)$ and $(A/2, L/2)$, where $A$ is the area enclosed by $p$. (This is Proposition 1 in Pinkall's paper.)
Now it's claimed that if you lift a great-circle you should get the Clifford-torus. The above proposition then yields that the Clifford-torus is isometric to $R^2 / \Gamma _1$, with $\Gamma _1$ generated by $(2\pi, 0)$ and $(\pi, \pi)$. The usual definition of the Clifford torus is $R^2 / \Gamma _c$ with $\Gamma _c$ generated by $(2\pi, 0 )$ and $(0, 2 \pi)$.
Who know's how this fits together?

I was trying to find statistics for the number of caches in Germany, that are registered in portal opencaching.de, a free of change and open alternative to GeoCaching.com. But I've failed to find such numbers. In polish version of OpenCaching the statistics are available under the link in the main menu. But how to find out that number for german OpenCaching? Or, if there are no such statistics presented on page, do you know at least the estimated numbers of caches registered in that portal?

Questions on The Great Outdoors Stack Exchange are expected to relate to outdoor activities within the scope defined by the community. Consider editing the question or leaving comments for improvement if you believe the question can be reworded to fit within the scope. Read more about reopening questions here.If this question can be reworded to fit the rules in the help center, please edit the question.
The only way that you can really find this out if they don't provide the stats on the pages is to contact them.
However, in terms of a slightly different question (the rough number of geocaches in Germany in general) this website says it was approaching 200,000 August last year (2011), so I'd imagine it's still in that ballpark but may have crept up a bit.
It seams, that there is another site for statistics, which is not linked (or the linking is not obvious. The statistics for Germany can be obtained under http://cms.geocaching.de/index.php?id=9
So, OpenCaching has ~28k caches in Germany, and GeoCaching ~192k. That means that GeoCaching has over 6 times as many caches in Germany as OpenCaching (quite suprising, because in Poland it is the opposite).

The 6 Coolest Things You Can Do With Your Dead Body
Once you're dead - and you will be, before you know it - do you really want to spend the rest of eternity occupying a tiny plot of perfectly good land? Why? So your loved ones can lay flowers on it and dogs can come by and relieve themselves on your headstone later?
Screw that. These days, there are all sorts of cool things you can get done with your remains, if you know where to shop. You can...
#6. Get Loaded Into Some Bullets
When the husband of South London's Joanna Booth died, she did what we hope our loved ones do for us: she loaded his ashes into shotgun shells and killed every non-human thing in sight.
Her husband, James, was an expert on vintage shotguns before he slipped into a food poison-induced coma for 18 months, subsequently passing away at the age of 50. "It was not his dying wish," said Joanna, "but I remembered that he had read somewhere that someone had had their ashes loaded into cartridges and he thought it was very funny."
See? Hilarious.
Taking the joke several thousand steps too far, she went to a shotgun cartridge maker and had a little bit of James crammed into 275 12-gauge shotgun shells. Joanna then had the bullets blessed by Rev. Alistair Donald (a local Church of Scotland minister who, in the process, proved the church is awesome).
With the newly minted, newly blessed James-filled bullets, Joanna and 20 close friends took to an estate in Aberdeenshire, Scotland where they proceeded to shoot every animal they saw. By day's end, the bullets were spent and Mother Nature had finally learned not to fuck with the gun-totting tag team of James and Joanna Booth: 70 partridges, 23 pheasants, 7 ducks and a fox fell that day.
"James would've wanted me to do this."
Just Imagine...
You die at the hands of a brutal street gang. Your best friend/brother/father takes to the streets in the name of vigilante revenge. Finally he confronts the gang leader on a rooftop and says, "When you get to Hell, tell 'em Bobby sent you." Then he shoots him with a shotgun shell made from your ashes.
(Your name is Bobby).
#5. Be a Fireworks Display
We've all had this same conversation at one point or another: If you can choose your death, what would it be? Most people would probably say quick and painless. The next most popular answer would most likely be, "In a blaze of explosive fucking glory!" And while most of us probably won't get to bite the big one action movie-style, we can now ensure that our already dead bodies will.
British company Heavens Above Fireworks and the cult sounding, California-based Angel's Flight give you the option of treating your death like a Chinese New Year by mixing your ashes with combustible powder -- giving you the spectacular send off you may or may not deserve.
There are various packages you can choose from, allowing you to tailor your display to best suit your personality. Heavens Above's "Simple Farewell" and "Gentle Farewell" packages offer a classy, solemn and subdued display of mortars launching rockets into the air and exploding gloriously, a fitting way to honor someone that lived their entire life in constant fear of being silently labeled as "Showy" and "A big-fat attention whore."
If that isn't befitting of the recently deceased, then customers can do a total 180 and go for an all out, balls to the wall, explosiapalooza with the "Grand Finale" and "Spectacular Goodbye" packages. With these you'll be able to show the world that you over-compensated in every aspect of your life as a cavalcade of star shells, aerial mines, rockets and roman candles blast your dusty ass in a five-minute cacophony that will make God himself hold his ears.
Just Imagine...
Included in the "Spectacular Goodbye" and "Grand Finale" packages are the options to include the music of your choosing and, as the Heavens Above website states, to spell out "a name or message in fireworks."
Got a final "fuck you" you want to deliver? You can spell that out in the sky and have a family member upload that shit to YouTube. All of which is, of course, will be set to a totally awesome Nickelback megamix.
#4. Get Turned Into a Pencil
For those of you who prefer something less violent but more subtly creepy, Nadine Jarvis has a solution. She is an English product designer who designs things that never should be designed.
Like this.
But when it comes to thinking-up alternative ways to dispose of a dead body she makes mafiosos around the globe envious of her artistry. Jarvis has embarked on a project to dispose of ashes in a way that will "lengthen death ceremony [sic] to give more time to come to terms with loss." And by that, she means things like making pencils out of your ashes.
Using the cremated remains, or "Cremains," one dead body can produce 240 pencils -- all but guaranteeing that you'll be dead long before you and your grieving family gets the chance to break them all in the most morbidly epic pencil fight ever recorded.
The box of pencils comes with a built-in sharpener, so that the pencil shavings fall back into the box, leaving your family with an urn that has more in common with the floors near the trash bin of every elementary school classroom than a human body.
Just Imagine...
Make plans to have your corpse pencils donated to the local library. Or, even better, an elementary school. You know you'll wind up haunting that shit. You'll be poltergeisting books and desks all around the room, while one priest cowers in the corner and screams "THE PENCILS! WE HAVE TO DESTROY THE PENCILS! ITS HIS BODY! HIS BODYYYYY!!!"

We were confused by the + action cards. It says you have to start at the top of the card and work your way down. so when do you play a second action card and are you allowed to play another action card if you havent done everything on the first action card. Also, can you total up all of the extra coins on all of your action cards and combine them for one buy?

When playing a +Action card do not resolve the extra action until the current card is finished. From pg. 7 of the rules
You should total up all the extra coins on the cards you've played for one purchase unless you have played cards with + Buys. (You don't have to spend everything you've gained in each turn BTW). (also page 7, under Buy Phase)
You should think of actions, coins and buys as value stores that you add to and subtract from throughout your turn by doing certain things. So, you start your turn with the ability to play 1 action and perform 1 buy. Playing Village costs you 1 action (bringing you down to 0), but adds 2 back, meaning you now have 2 actions available. Playing Smithy costs an action, bringing you down to 1, and you could still afford to play another card. But Village increments the value so you can play the actions after you finish playing the Village, as opposed to being forced to play them immediately. Similarly, buying a card costs a buy and a specific number of coins. If you've played actions that gave you +1 buy and +5 coins in total, and you have a Silver, you can afford to buy up to 2 cards worth up to 7 coins.
Having said that, there are 3 cards that do cause immediate other actions:
There are also 2 cards that play coin cards immediately:
Here's an answer to your second question: Yes, you should total all the coins on your (action) cards and combine them for your buy or buys. (Note that you resolve buys after resolving actions.)

For instance, say I have two individuals and one is active, the other passive. I know I can call the active person the "actor"—he "acts upon" the passive person. But what do I call the "acted upon"? Is there a single word to describe this?
Sign up

The term is Patient, which is formed from the same semi-deponent Latin verb (patior, patere, passus 'suffer, endure') as Passive. Most grammatical terminology comes from Latin, so if you want to make up a linguistic term, get a Latin dictionary.
In a prototypical English active transitive sentence,
In Functional Grammar the person or thing acted upon is the Patient.
This may seem an odd use of the word, but it is not, in fact, a coinage of modern linguistics. Patiens (the present participle of pati, "to undergo, endure, suffer") and agens were literal Latin translations of Aristotle's terms, and the opposition has been used in English since the 16th century:
In some circumstances, the term object can be used, as in
Cambridge defines it as
Somewhat ironically, the term subject may also be used. Definition 5 in American Heritage says
Actor is a term used in functional grammar to describe the person or thing that initiates a material Process (but not other kinds of Process), that is, some kind of action that takes place in the real world. If you want to be consistent with the use of Actor in functional grammar, then the term to use for the person or thing on the receiving end is the Goal (not, pace John Lawler and StoneyB, the Patient). In a mental Process it is the Phenomenon, in a Relational Process, the Value, and in a Verbal process, the Verbiage.
FWIW, in various computing process models I've constructed that have an Actor role, the role of that which is acted upon has been either a Subject or a Target.

Jackson, Murphy & Marx all earned trophies in the men's Black Belt division. Jackson brought home a fourth place competitor trophy while Murphy placed third in both Forms and Sparring. Marx took top honors claiming first in both Forms and Sparring.
The instructors classify this competition as a platform to region, national, and international tournaments. The goal is to get our students interested in competitions, while at the same time gradually introducing them to the world of Taekwondo tournaments. The average regional tournament has between 400-700 competitors. It can be a very nervous time when one walks into their first competition and sees so many people. This tournament allowed the students to get rid of some of those nerves in preparation to joining the regional tournament circuit.
American Taekwondo Association tournaments are controlled competitive environments that allow practitioners to display and improve their skills in a safe environment. Although some may think it is all about "who is better", that is only a part of their purpose in Songahm Taekwondo.
Page 2 of 2 - Tournaments are not just for a trophy. They allow members to meet new people, make new friends, put nerves to the test, and display skills. By focusing on these purposes, it is very possible to be happy whether one wins or loses.

- BSO Case Number: OP01-60030 (update)
- PIO Number: 01-12-43
- Date: Dec. 26, 2001
- Time: 1454
- Place of Occurrence: 4141 N. Andrews Ave., Oakland Park
- James Foley, 40, 11/27/61, male, no permanent address (DECEASED)
Description of Incident:
The Broward Sheriff's Office is releasing the name of a homeless man whose body was discovered in the meter room of an Oakland Park office building Wednesday.
The deceased was James Foley, 40, who lived at large with no permanent address. BSO Homicide detectives notified his family in Illinois. In the past year, Foley was arrested a half-dozen times in Broward County for petty crimes including Trespassing and Disorderly Conduct.
The Broward Medical Examiner has not yet determined the exact cause of death and will await the result of toxicology tests which could reveal what underlying disease led to Foley's demise. There were no signs of serious trauma on the body nor any indications of foul play.
Shortly before 2 p.m. Wednesday, an anonymous caller phoned 911 and reported that a body was lying inside the meter room at 4141 North Andrews Avenue. BSO District 12 deputies responded and did find a deceased person at that location. Per standard procedure, Homicide and Crime Scene detectives were dispatched to the scene to investigate.
While detectives and deputies were on the scene the 911 caller came forward and told them the dead man was named James Foley and that he had spent Christmas evening drinking with him.

If I'm hiking in the wilderness and my shoelace breaks, what's the best way to go about fixing it assuming I have no spare?
First, I always have at least one shoe lace in my first aid kit (I know, not the most usual place, but I never forget it and it only needs a very small space).
Also some piece of washing line (e.g. for drying clothes) can be used.
If you don't have one of those, you can cut the other shoe lace and use half of it to lace your shoes every other hole. It will not fit as good as a 100% length shoe lace, but better than having one good and none for the other.
There's a number of options for dealing with such an issue, each can be appropriate depending on the situation in hand.
I always carry para chord with me. It can be used for building shelters, hanging food (to hide from bears), securing items to a back pack, staking down tents, and also it can be used as a shoelace.
Para chord is usually made out of spectra or nylon (the same as climbing rope) and has a tensile strength of (usually) between 400 and 600lbf.
So next time you are in the wilderness and your shoelace breaks you can just take out your para chord and re-string the shoe!
To always have a duck tape with you in case something break (taken from here in french)
Disadvantage: it is not biodegradable
Real 550 cord (paracord) has an outer braid over multiple twisted strands of fiber (7, I think). If the cord is too thick, whack off a piece and pull out as many strands as you need to get the job done. It's incredibly versatile stuff and you probably should consider it basic survival gear. But make sure that it's the real deal. I'm not sure that a lot of those paracord "survival bracelets" that are so popular these days are made out of quality cord.

A pilot program to ensure medical officials could talk to each other in times of disaster, began in this area, with all of the eligible hospitals and health care facilities participating.
The facilities use satellite radios, when traditional communication fails. That way they can communicate information to other health care centers, even when the line are down.
Participating agencies include: The Barren River District Health Department, The Medical Centers in Bowling Green, Franklin, and Scottsville, Greenview Regional Hospital, TJ Samson Community Hospital, Caverna Memorial, Logan Memorial, Monroe County Medical, Rivendell, SkyCare, Lifeskills, and Emergency Management.
Now Governor Ernie Fletcher has announced more than three million dollars in funding for a back-up system for the all of the state's hospitals, health departments, and health care facilities.

I know they are UMTS country. Can I rent 3g modem for a week?
There are 3 cell phone providers in Egypt:
Each one of them provide wireless data connection. There are two types:
1- USB modem, which is the easiest way:
Normally etisalat is the cheapest one.
The problem with this USB modem, is that you have to buy the USB modem (cheapest USB modem is 99LE (~17$).
You will have to buy some plan (e.x with etisalat, you pay 19LE to get 110MB with high speed internet, after 110MB ends, you will be degraded to 64Kbps, which is awfully slow). You can re-pay another 19LE and get another 110MB with high speed.
2- The other option is cell phone internet. You get cell phone data plan, and use tethering in you smart phone to give internet to your laptop. You can use the per/day plans, you buy credit with 3LE, which gives you about 15. You can go with this if your usage is REALLY light (twitter, facebook status, ...).
Egypt uses GSM phones, on the 900 and 1800 Mhz bands, and have freed up 2100 Mhz for 3G usage.
Vodafone Egypt has what they call 'USB Modems' which would be what you're after, and their data plans page would seem to indicate various prepay and postpaid options. But you're probably better off just chatting to them when you get there to decide on your best option.

Let $A$ be a (complex) (finitely generated) algebra with some type of $q$-deformation $A_q$, where $A_1 = A$. Moreover, let $V_q$ be a vector subspace of $A_q$, such that $V_1$ is a finite-dimensional subspace of $A$. What conditions do we need to assume on the $q$-deformation for this to imply that $V_q$ is also finite-dimensional? In other words, for which type of deformations will an infinite dimensional subspace always be infinite dimensional in the $q \to 1$ limit? Or do such a set of conditions exist?
The specific example I'm interested in here is quantum-$SU_N$, the so-called coordinate algebra quantum group (as opposed to the quantized enveloping algebra.) As far as I understand this is a Poisson algebra type deformation, with the associated properties.

Every night I get hundreds, sometimes thousands, of failed ssh logins on my RedHat 4 server. For firewall reasons from remote sites, I need to run on the standard port. Is there anything I should be doing to block this. I notice that many come from the same IP address. Shouldn't it be stopping those after a while?
You can use iptables to rate-limit new incoming connections to the SSH port. I'd have to see your entire iptables configuration in order to give you a turnkey solution, but you're basically talking about adding rules like:
These rules assume that you're accepting ESTABLISHED connections earlier in the table (so that only new connections will hit these rules). New SSH connections will hit these rules and be marked. In 60 seconds, 5 attempts from a single IP address will result in new incoming connections from that IP being dropped.
This has worked well for me.
Edit: I prefer this method to "fail2ban" because no additional software to be installed, and happens totally in kernel-mode. It doesn't handle parsing log files like "fail2ban" will, but if your problem is only with SSH I wouldn't use something user-mode that requires software installation and is more complex.
fail2ban can help with this by blocking IP addresses with too many failed log in attempts.
I'd recommend using a non-standard port for SSH if you can (ie. port 10222) but since you mentioned you can't do that I'd recommend using something such as DenyHosts.
Great package, easy to install and configure.
While it may be nice to be able to ssh into your system from arbitrary locations on the internet, there are automated password attack systems which will lock onto an open ssh port and apply various joe account and dictionary attacks against your system. This can be aggrevating to read in your nightly log summary and is a waste of your bandwidth.
If you have a web server on the same system, you can use php and tcp wrappers to restrict ssh inbound traffic to known systems, plus give you a back-door key to permit yourself access from arbitrary systems on the internet.
Here's how you do it:
deny all ssh connections in /etc/hosts.deny:
Allow known systems by IP in /etc/hosts.allow, plus add a file for temporary access:
Create a php file in your web server and give it a non-obvious name like my-sshd-access.php:
Forgive the php code -- I swiped it from somewhere else, so it could probably stand to be cleaned up a whole bunch. All it does is add the IP address of the system accessing it to the /etc/hosts.allow.temporary-sshd-access file, which is read by sshd (due to its inclusion by /etc/hosts.allow) at connection time.
Now when you are at some arbitrary system on the web and want to ssh to this system, first use a web browser and hit this file (or use wget or equivilent):
Now you should be able to ssh in to your system. If this is somewhere you will likely be ssh'ing in from frequently, it would be trivial to read the contents of the /etc/hosts.allow.temporary-sshd-access file and permanently add the IP address to /etc/hosts.allow.
You may want to look at denyhosts as well.
FYI: OpenSSH 6.7 drops tcpwrappers support, meaning denyhosts probably isn't the solution for new installations.
Do yourself a favor and disable the password login. Use exclusively authentication keys (google ssh-keygen for instance - Example: http://www.puddingonline.com/~dave/publications/SSH-with-Keys-HOWTO/document/html/SSH-with-Keys-HOWTO-4.html ) Your server will be more secure, you will connect to it more comfortably (check ssh-agent, ssh-add, keychain) and you will be no more the victim of ssh brute force attacks.
another solution is just move ssh to another port. these worms are pretty stupid.
Another option might be to require all ssh connections be verified by a certificate and do away with passwords altogether.
I use to use Denyhosts, but I found I was only connecting regularly remotely from a handful of places, so I blocked all port 22 connections except from anywhere else, and use port knocking so I can connect from anywhere with my laptop if I have to.
Any solution which involves automatically blocking IPs after multiple failures introduces risk of denial of service attacks. As long as there's a good password policy in place to reduce the effectiveness of brute force or dictionary attacks, I wouldn't worry too much about them.
If you limit the users/groups to only those who should be allowed to ssh in in the first place, and disable logging in as root, you should be more than secure enough. And, if that's not sufficient, there's always key-based authentication.
Honestly, if you have to run SSH (and on port 22), you can't avoid these. If you must accept passwords, you're in even worse shape.
Your best bet is to configure your log analysis software to exclude the SSH logs. Then run a separate instance to only look at SSH logs, and use procmail to filter out the unsuccessful attempts. You might even write scripts to watch for successful logins from IP addresses with multiple unsuccessful attempts.
There's no way to stop people from probing your SSH server. Denyhosts, fail2ban, and the iptables example will work up to a point, but with the additional danger of accidentally blocking legitimate users. The best method is to suck it up and try to automate the log-analysis process to reduce the amount of time you have to think about it.
When you say you are getting failed shh log in attemps on your red hat server, what sort of firewall is it sitting behind and how many people need to shh into it. I suggest that if you can you want to limit attempts at the firewall before they get anywhere near your actual server.
If you can restrict the range of ip addresses that legitimately need access you should be able to set up an access list on the fire wall. If you can restrict traffic at the firewall i would suggest you look at network intrusion systems, as it sounds like your server is being targeted by something.
Most webhosts use APF+BFD to ip-block failed SSH logins. Nowadays there's CSF (Configserver firewall) which includes a tool called LFD that does the same thing, and more, including block IPs from certain countries you don't want accessing your server (eg Korea, China etc, where 99% of my SSH probes seem to originate from).
Ive been using fail2ban and it has been helping me out alot.
Should you need to address this issue across more than one host, you may want to check out OSSEC: http://www.ossec.net/main/ossec-architecture
This will allow you to configure multiple agents from a centralized location to automatically respond to brute-force attacks (along with any other pattern you can extract from logs).
Very nice piece of software :)
Another option similar to DenyHosts is sshutout http://www.techfinesse.com/sshutout/sshutout.html

Extending Deregulation: Make the U.S. Economy More Efficient
Since the 1970s, deregulation has succeeded in increasing overall economic welfare and sharply reducing prices , generally by about 30 percent, for transportation—including air travel, rail transportation, and trucking—and for natural gas and telecommunications. Few industries remain subject to classic economic regulation in the United States. To help remove some of the last vestiges of such controls, the next President should:
• promote full deregulation of all voice telephone services
• oppose "network neutrality" initiatives for broadband telecommunications that would interfere with pricing innovations designed to relieve network congestion
• within the electricity sector, support market reforms (such as real-time pricing) and incentives for expanding or preventing overloads in transmission grids and distribution networks and allow states to proceed at a measured pace in deregulating electrical generation
• promote competition among airports and privatization of air traffic control in order to improve the pricing of airport landing rights and reduce air traffic congestion
• back "open skies" or "cabotage" approaches to international air travel and allow more foreign investment in domestic airlines Even more important, the next President should act to restrain government interference in markets that does not quite amount to classic economic regulation.
Examples of beneficial strategies for such regulatory reform include: auctioning more of the electromagnetic spectrum; encouraging efficient pricing of water to take into account the highest-value uses of water and facilitate conservation; and proposing the use of some federal interstate highway funds for demonstration projects for congestion-pricing on major urban highways.

Throughout the whole summer time you may observe several species of turtles. They nest on the windward side of Grenada where the females come onto the beaches in order to lay their eggs in the dry sand.
Grenadas scuba diving areas are well known in the Caribbean with about fifteen ship wrecks at different levels of depth. Over the past the various ship wrecks have changed themselves to colourful artificial reefs and become home to a variety of marine life.
The most famous wreck is "Bianca C", a 200 m long cruise ship. She sank in 1961 and is also called the "Titanic of the Caribbean".
Grenadas famous Underwater Sculpture Park is based on the design of the British artist Jason de Caires Tylor. The park stretches over a depth of two to ten meters under the water. It is made up of a collection of over 60 sculptures which tell and depict the history, culture and folklore of Grenada. The sculptures form an artificial reef which is now densely populated with colourful fish, corals and sponges. Due to the relatively shallow waters the sunlight illuminates the sculpture park and its visit becomes an unforgettable experience for connoisseurs of art and nature lovers alike. It is a must for snorkelers, divers, and can be also accessed by glass-bottom boats. Spectacular Underwater Water World

Does anyone know how to start RhythmBox in quiet mode?
There is a plugin for this...
disclaimer - I'm the author for this plugin
Called rhythmbox_hide, this is a little applet that either starts rhythmbox hidden or minimized.
By default, when the plugin is enabled through the menu option Edit - Plugins, rhythmbox starts hidden on startup, but through the plugin preferences you can uncheck this option and rhythmbox will then start minimized.
This plugin is particularly useful in combination with another plugin called remember-the-rhythm.
When used with this plugin you can start rhythmbox via the startup applications option for your Desktop Environment and on login, your last track that was playing will be immediately start playing.
how to install
sudo apt-get install git git clone https://github.com/fossfreedom/rhythmbox_hide cd rhythmbox_hide ./install.sh
You will be prompted for your password which installs the dconf schema key used to remember your preferences option.
Alternatively, if you prefer a package installation method:
Linked Question
Simply make the main window disappear by clicking on the x button; rhythmbox should still sit in the panel and you can control it and quit from there.
Now it should remember this and the next time you open rhythmbox the main window will not show.
How to force it to never show the main window when opening I have no clue.
The gconf value of /apps/rhythmbox/state/window_maximized is not what you are asking for; it only shows if the main window is maximised or not.
I tested this with version 0.12.8-0ubuntu7 on Lucid.
This doesn't look very pretty (something I am a stickler for), but if all else fails you can just close the window as soon as it opens using devilspie. This link explains how to start applications minimized, but in your case you replace the provided example's "Terminal" with "Rhythmbox" and "minimize" with "close". Thus, your devilspie rule should look like this
If you have problems with rhythmbox not opening after being closed, try changing the notification icon preferences. The variable in question is in: rhythmbox menu > edit > plugins > status icon > configure > status icon: change it to "owns the main window"
I think you can do this with gconf-editor.
Just click to volume icon in the top menu of your desktop, and then click to play icon.

'Intrinsic Evil' & Public Policy
Everyone knows what the Catholic Church teaches about abortion, right? It is an "intrinsically evil act." Yet the answers of Joe Biden and Paul Ryan in the recent vice-presidential debate suggested, each in its own way, that knowledge of this teaching does not translate automatically into a particular position on abortion law and policy.
Vice President Biden affirmed his personal assent to the church's teaching that life begins at conception, but he (mistakenly) referred to this as a "de fide doctrine" (a truth of faith), which the law ought not to impose on others. Representative Ryan, meanwhile, maintained that "the policy of a Romney administration is to oppose abortion with the exceptions of rape, incest, and the life of the mother." While the church has always taught that one could support less-than-ideal abortion laws if nothing better was possible, one gets the feeling that a Romney administration would view the exceptions as morally (rather than just politically) justified, a position incompatible with the claim that abortion is intrinsically evil—that is, evil in all circumstances. In the wake of Todd Akin's comment on "legitimate rape," Republican House Speaker John Boehner was asked during an interview on PBS whether his party had become "extreme" on abortion. Boehner answered: "Mitt Romney, myself, others who are very prolife, the American people today, a majority of them identify as prolife. But we all have exceptions for rape, incest, life of the mother. And, frankly, almost all of my colleagues in the House have the same exceptions." It is evident that Speaker Boehner has not mastered the script about intrinsically evil acts, either.
This complexity should alert us to the difficulty of using the moral concept of "intrinsic evil" in debates about public policy. Too often the term ends up being used as an overly simplistic accessory of various political positions. Its use in the public square introduces all sorts of confusion.
Take the important example of Bishop Robert Morlino's defense of Paul Ryan's budget plan. Bishop Morlino's letter is problematic. There is no other way to say it. It suggests that Catholic teaching involves certain absolutes—such as the right to life and the right to private property—and that, beyond these, bishops have no competence to make moral pronouncements. Morlino writes:
Some of the most fundamental issues for the formation of a Catholic conscience are as follows: sacredness of human life from conception to natural death, marriage, religious freedom and freedom of conscience, and a right to private property.
Violations of the above involve intrinsic evil—that is, an evil which cannot be justified by any circumstances whatsoever. These evils are examples of direct pollution of the ecology of human nature and can be discerned as such by human reason alone. Thus, all people of good will who wish to follow human reason should deplore any and all violations in the above areas, without exception. The violations would be: abortion, euthanasia and physician-assisted suicide, same-sex marriage, government-coerced secularism, and socialism.
In these most fundamental matters, a well-formed Catholic conscience, or the well-formed conscience of a person of good will, simply follows the conclusions demanded by the ecology of human nature and the reasoning process. A Catholic conscience can never take exception to the prohibition of actions which are intrinsically evil. Nor may a conscience well-formed by reason or the Catholic faith ever choose to vote for someone who clearly, consistently, persistently promotes that which is intrinsically evil.
However, a conscience well-formed according to reason or the Catholic faith, must also make choices where intrinsic evil is not involved. How best to care for the poor is probably the finest current example of this, though another would be how best to create jobs at a time when so many are suffering from the ravages of unemployment. In matters such as these, where intrinsic evil is not involved, the rational principles of solidarity and subsidiarity come into play.
So "socialism" is now an intrinsically evil act? But what is socialism? Does the bishop mean the complete abolition of private property, or just any redistribution of property by the government? Morlino's attempt to align the right to private property with the right to life is seriously misleading. Unlike the right to life, the right to property is not absolute; it is constantly qualified throughout the Catholic tradition. The government clearly has the right to regulate property, the right to tax, and the responsibility to ensure the minimal conditions for the flourishing of all. The right to property is subordinated to the universal destination of goods.
Here is Pope John Paul II's classic statement in Centesimus annus:
In Rerum novarum, Leo XIII strongly affirmed the natural character of the right to private property, using various arguments against the socialism of his time. This right, which is fundamental for the autonomy and development of the person, has always been defended by the Church up to our own day. At the same time, the Church teaches that the possession of material goods is not an absolute right, and that its limits are inscribed in its very nature as a human right. While the Pope proclaimed the right to private ownership, he affirmed with equal clarity that the "use" of goods, while marked by freedom, is subordinated to their original common destination as created goods, as well as to the will of Jesus Christ as expressed in the Gospel…. The Successors of Leo XIII have repeated this twofold affirmation: the necessity and therefore the legitimacy of private ownership, as well as the limits which are imposed on it.
Bishop Morino is confusing absolute norms and absolute rights. The church's teachings about intrinsically evil acts belong to the former category, not the latter. Exceptionless moral norms are negative norms, whose object is carefully delineated in the description of an act. An intrinsically evil act always involves the intentional violation of the human good. By confusing rights and rules, Bishop Morlino risks confusing the limited understanding of rights in the Catholic tradition with the absolutist libertarian view of rights.
Morlino encounters these difficulties because of his deeper desire to draw a radical distinction between issues having to do with "intrinsic evil" (which involve absolutes) and all other matters (which do not). He says the former set of issues involve "direct pollution" of the moral ecology, and therefore no Catholic can vote for someone "who clearly, consistently, persistently promotes that which is intrinsically evil."
Notice, however, that the bishop conflates the "most fundamental" issues with the issues involving "intrinsic evil." But the word "intrinsic" does not denote gravity: "intrinsic evil" isn't just a fancy way of saying "very evil." And speaking of ecology, the native habitat of the term "instrinsic evil" is moral theology; it does not apply in any straightforward way to civil laws. It applies to acts, not to the effects of policy.
The opposite of "intrinsic evil" is "extrinsically evil." An act that is extrinsically evil is one that might not be evil in other circumstances or with a different intention. Acts which are "intrinsically evil" have a built-in intention that is always contrary to the human good, even if they may seem to bring about good consequences. Lying involves the intent to deceive, and the intent to deceive is always wrong. If we presume marriage, described in a certain way, to be an important human good, then we will recognize that adulterous acts can never be compatible with marriage—even if one's declared intent is to help one's marriage by "spicing it up."
Moral theologians will continue to debate which acts, described in what way, fall into the category of the "intrinsically evil." But the case of adultery highlights how inappropriate the term "intrinsic evil" can be in discussions about civil law. After all, adultery is both intrinsically evil and grave…and yet very few people are hankering to recover civil laws against adultery. So a moral category that seems to promise clarity and purity loses its clarity and purity as soon as it is applied in the public sphere. Not everything the civil law forbids is intrinsically evil, and not all intrinsic evils ought to be forbidden by law.
Meanwhile, while we squabble over non-negotiables, Hitler swamps Europe, or the rich use government coercion to oppress the poor in Latin America, or we all continue to abuse the natural world as if its resources and resilience were infinite. If the non-negotiables are supposed to trump everything else, why should Paul VI and John Paul II have even bothered writing documents on peace and on the right to development of poorer nations? And what are we to make of Benedict XVI's categorical insistence in Caritas in veritate that advanced countries "can and must lower their domestic energy consumption" and must make "a serious review of its lifestyle which…is prone to hedonism and consumerism"? Are these statements to be ignored by the citizens of the richest, most militarized and consumerist nation in the world just because they aren't about intrinsically evil acts?
I fear this term's use has become ideological. It is no longer a technical term used to analyze moral action, but an intimidating buzzword used to elevate certain issues to prominence…issues that happen to be aligned with one major political party. This use is ideological because it serves to distort the overall teaching of the church by diminishing the importance of other issues that may be equally grave, or even graver, but do not fall under an absolute norm. The very selective use of the term unwittingly demonstrates that political prudence is always necessary for dealing with moral absolutes. By decriminalizing adultery (or "sodomy" or any of a host of acts that are always wrong), we acknowledge that political bodies can and do make prudential decisions about what are the most grave evils threatening a given society. These decisions are not simply a matter of identifying which issues involve intrinsically evil acts and which do not.
The church's teaching about intrinsically evil acts has a great deal of integrity, but it loses that integrity when it is put into the service of thinly veiled partisanship. The church needs to make sure that the desire to be influential in the public square does not end up trumping the complexity and integrity of its own tradition.

The not-so-good bishop appears to have little or no understanding of politics or of the legislative process, nor of the role of a non-establishment church.
All elections in a representative democracy involve perception of the present state of the art of the possible -- what issues are presently moot and which are likely to be acted upon during the coming term.
By focusing on abortion, toujours abortion, the bishops give up their potential political influence on other issues where real movement is possible. By emphasizing their opposition to contraception they have undermined political routes toward reducing abortions, unless they are still under the mis-conception that all modes of contraception are also abortions.
Their political position on civil marriage is blinkered almost beyond belief. The bishops can be entirely correct in their teaching on Sacramental Matrimony and still that is irrelevant to the matter of civil marriage. The two are unrelated so long as the state accepts Sacramental Matrimony as also constituting one form of civil marriage. Otherwise, the civil law deals with civil standards such as inheritance, health decisions, joint property, insurance coverage. Adding others to the category of who gets these privileges does nothing to hurt the sacramentaly married.
If the people want same sex couples or any other arrangement to have these civil privileges, it is up to the government to provide them, which says nothing about the nature of marriage within any religion. Only in states with established churches, such as England and Anglicanism, is it reasonable of religious leaders to expect civil laws to conform to religious ideals. Even in those cases, as Cloutier indicates, it may be more prudent not to legislate morality because it might, like prohibition, lead to more civil disturbances than the misdeeds it seeks to correct.
The Church has long held the position that private property is to be held in the interest of the common good. So, the owner of property is to exercise stewardship, putting it to uses that promote the common good until he or she is relieved of such duties, which might occur through financial loss or through death. Exercising proper stewardship might involve making investments in business, which provides employment (thus supporting the common good) and earns a profit on the money placed at risk in the business thus increasing the value of the investment, as did two investment managers in Matthew 25). Many successful investors give a portion of their profits each year to charity, but still amass large fortunes. As good stewards they also plan for their wealth to promote the common good after their death, often by bequests to foundations or directly to universities, charities, etc. The rich do not take their wealth into the grave. Yet, so many observers are uncomfortable with this process and see business profits as evidence of greed, or of exploiting employees, etc. Wealth is held in disdain. Many feel that unless profits and wealth are immediately taxed back into the public coffers, it serves no purpose, and cannot possibly be to the common good. That popular sentiment defies the clear teaching of Leo XIII and Successors who acknowledge that private property with proper stewardship, can serve the common good, and that indeed private ownership is needed to best assure stewardship of property. Fortunately there are many good stewards, and there were many in prior generations and their legacies fund so many good works long after they gave gone to give an accounting of their deeds. Let us not be afraid to accept the wisdom of numerous encyclicals. Joseph J Dunn. Author of After One Hundred Years: Corporate Profits, Wealth, and American Society
Which came first, the Catholic Congressman who thinks Ayn Rand's philosophy is inspirational, or the successor of Christ's apostles who calls the right to private property an absolute?
If this is part of the "New Evangelization," the church will be more of a laughing-stock than it is already.
Would I be engaging in an evil (intrinsically or otherwise) act, if I gave a donation to Planned Parenthood or NARAL? (not that I'm going to). Have I been engaging in evil acts, intrinsic or otherwise, by donating to an institution that has yet to come to terms with the enabling and protection of sexual predators in its ranks? (I have in mind, of course, Penn State and Horace Mann and the Boy Scouts).
Below I have linked to an inspirational election homily by Fr. Sammie Maletta. Fr. Maletta delivers a powerful and thought-provoking homily on the moral truths that we as Catholics are called to defend as citizens in in a free society. He argues that Catholic teaching is neither Democrat or Republican -- but, that does not mean we are free to vote as we wish. There is a hierarchy of moral truth that must inform our vote. Fr. Maletta's homily is a stirring call-to-action in the face of a world increasingly dominated by secularization and a world in which our religious freedom is increasingly threatened. THIS INSPIRATIONAL HOMILY IS WORTH YOUR TIME -- IT IS THAT GOOD! http://allhands-ondeck.blogspot.com/2012/10/inspirational-election-homily-fr-sammie.html
I believe many Catholics (particularly those that vote Democrat) would be surprised at the extent to which President Obama has advanced a pro-abortion agenda through a long list of "bill signings, speeches, appointments, and other actions" since his election in November, 2008.
His many pro-abortion actions are documented at the link below. The list is shockingly long and extensive.
The link:
What the Catholic Church teaches, all poliltics aside, is that as Catholics, we put our souls into grave danger when we knowingly vote for a candidate who supports intrinsic evils; abortion and contraception being two of them. It doesn't matter what else the candidate stands for, or our opinion. If one supports any intrinsic evil and the other candidate does not support any intrinsic evil, as is the case in today's presidential election, it's a no brainer, regardless of our "politics." There just isn't any "wiggle" room on what the Catholic Church teaches are and are not intrinsic evils.
On that same note, another intrinsic evil taught by the Catholic Chruch is racism. IMO, anyone who uses that term, especially to falsely label another racist for political gain or to "win" an argument has comitted the greatest of intrinic evils not only on the falesly accused but against society.
Thanks to our "racist obcessed" main stream media, any real racism left in this country will most likely go forever largely ignored, like"fire" cried in a crowded theater when no fire was ever there.
On that note, I agree that words, especially words of such profound meaning and significance as the "intrinsic evils" matter a lot how and to whom we use them.
I believe there are well formed consciences outside the dogmas of roman catholicism. And I also so believe that the just war doctrine prevents a well formed conscience. I wish the notion of a moral evil could be more clearly defined for a unified human discourse on conscience.
Bishop Morlino avoids the whole notion of souls, vegetative, animal and human in moral theolgy. The abortion of vegetative and animal life as stages of human development is ignored contra Aquinas and others who allow abortion prior to the soul becoming human. Being and becoming are not identical...basic moral theology.
So there are no perfect Catholics that remain consistent on all the teachings of the one, holy, catholic and apostolic church 100% of the time. It is easy to throw stones from your computer desk !!
This is a sad partisan attempt to parse one sides political stance and not the others. Indeed, has Mr. Cloutier considered the instrinsic evil in saying, " beleive something is terrible, however I will do nothing to stop it" and won't speak out against it. Joe Bides stands as the perfect example of this. His stance on abortion is absurd in that he and his party have actually said that abortion is NEVER EVIL and that they will NEVER do anything about it. The extreme view of the Democrats on this is clear. According to Democrats (who vote unaanimously on much of this) , Abortion should be available at anytime, whether a fetus is 10 weeks or 40 weeks. A child born after an abortion procedure can be left to die. No law should be instituted to stop Abortion for gender selection purposes (PRENDA) . People who beleive abortion is morally unconscinsable can be forced to pay for abortions (so far 60 million in 40 years). Mr. Cloutier partisanship is a sad statement on his Christianity.
Execellent and long-overdue article.
Cloutier is parsing words, splitting hairs, but not approaching the heart of the matter. The church teachings on abortion, marriage, eithanasia, adutery, etc. are about God's love for His people. Our loving God never condones the harm of abortion, same-sex marriage, euthanasia. Likewise, His mercy is great, as Jesus demonstrated when he saved the woman caught in adultery. As to civil law, we need application of the spirit of the law, not the letter of the law, which can be moronic, especially with lack of mercy. Cloutier could demonstrate more mercy in his judgment of the bishop, who I am sure is doing his best to lead the people entrusted to him to Christ.
More silly, tired relativism from a confused, so called "Catholic" intellectual. Sigh.
"Intrinsically evil", like "original sin", is a religious term that has no place in law. It implies a badness so thorough that it is irredeemable, eternal, and hence beyond the reach of law. "Malice" and its adjective "malicious" is a better formulation that does not sever the bond of humanity between the law and the accused.
Excellent article (despite the comments that seem not to understand the technical nature of this theological discussion). One wonders, therefore, just what sort of technical, theological (as well as grammatical!) experts are assisting these bishops when they make such pronouncements.
The not-so-good bishop appears to have little or no understanding of politics
I think the Bishop has a very good understanding of politics. He takes a term ("intrinsic evil") that every man qualified to serve as a Catholic bishop knows does not mean "should be illegal under civil law," yet uses it in that way because focus groups financed by Republicans show that it mistakenly suggests that to some of the laity.
Bad religion. Good politics.
Why are a great number of the Bishops and Cardinals fat, while almost all, if not in fact all, of the Women Religious they so often disparage, are thin, obviously healtheir, and in most cases more intellegent?
In my opinion, having more women in in positions of power in American politics wouldn't change much. But, having more women in positions of power in the Catholic Church would make a huge difference.

Unemployment in Conn. rises as job growth stalls
WETHERSFIELD -- Job growth in Connecticut was essentially flat in June while the unemployment rate edged up to 8.1 percent, the state Labor Department said Thursday.
Employers posted 500 new jobs, a small gain, but one that marked the fourth consecutive monthly jobs increase and fifth in the first six months of 2013. The state, however, did revise downward the number of jobs added in May. The state reported last month that Connecticut added 1,000 jobs in May from April, but that has now been revised to 600 jobs.

Brief SummaryRead full entry
DescriptionThe coelacanth is a 'living fossil' previously believed to have gone extinct at the time of the dinosaurs until the first scientifically noted rediscovery in 1938 (3). This amazing specimen was dubbed the 'most important zoological find of the century', and the species is a member of an ancient lineage that has been around for over 360 million years (4). Unlike any other living animal, coelacanths have a hinged joint in the skull, which allows the front part of the head to be lifted whilst feeding (4). They also have limb-like, lobed pectoral and pelvic fins and a unique tail consisting of three distinct lobes (5). Adding to the excitement surrounding the species is the ongoing controversy as to whether coelacanths or lungfish represent the closest living relatives to the first creature to walk on land (3). The scaly body is dark blue or brown in colour with white speckles, the pattern of which is unique to each individual and provides good camouflage against cave walls (3). A further unique feature is a receptor in the rostral organ of the head which can detect electric fields and may be used to locate prey or monitor its surroundings (5).

I have a Facebook SSO working perfectly on my app, using last release of Facebook Objective-C SDK. I need to ask an extra permission inside the app if user do "something". I don't need to ask that permission if user gave it to me before, so, I guess, in Facebook SDK there should be a method
-(BOOL) checkPermission:(NSString*) permission;
so I can use it like this:
if( [facebook checkPermission:@"email"] ) {
Is there a way to do this?

New York University's Graduate School of Arts and Science will host the final round of the "Threesis Academic Challenge" on Saturday, March 31, 4 p.m. at NYU's Kimmel Center for University Life, Eisner and Lubin Auditorium, 4th Fl. (60 Washington Square South at LaGuardia Place). Subways: 1 (Christopher Street); A, C, D, E, F, M (West 4th Street); N, R (8th Street); 6 (Astor Place).
The academic competition combines "American Idol" performance acumen with scholarly insights in a two-round tournament in which one of the winners is selected by the audience. In it, NYU master's students present their thesis or final project to a panel of judges in layperson's language in three minutes or less. The event is adopted from the Three Minute Thesis Challenge founded by the University of Queensland in Australia.
Competitors are judged on the following: how well they grasp the subject of their research, their ability to discuss the topic with non-experts, and presentation skills. Students compete for prizes totaling $2,500--$,1000 for first place, $750 for second place, and $750 for a presenter selected by the audience--while learning to organize ideas and persuasively speak about them in a frenzied yet academic atmosphere. Highlights from last year's competition may be viewed here.
The event is free and open to the public. To RSVP or for more information, call 212.998.3710, email firstname.lastname@example.com, or go to: http://gsas.nyu.edu/object/gsas.threesis2012.rsvp.

I understand that the Mollweide projection is used to show the map of the universe. Although I understand how this projection can be interesting for Earth where most populated (and of interest) areas are not at polar latitudes, I imagine that in the sky the distribution of interesting places does not follow the same pattern of accentuating the equatorial plane.
Do you think this the best projection to represent the Universe?

I recently tried to boot my Kubuntu 12.04 LTS on my Sandy Bridge Laptop with
i915.i915_enable_fbc=1 and
i915.lvds_downclock=1. I had some issues with 3D performance where somebody suggested using those options.
Since the resolution was not set correctly, I just tried it again with
i915.i915_enable_fbc=1. Then I rebooted and did not set any options manually, so everything should be reset. But since then, some KWin effects, especially wobbly windows does not work any more.
I also tried to boot some older kernel, but that did not have any effect.
How can I get it back to work?

The system is still up and running, so it's running off a cached partition table somewhere.
Can I recover the partition table, or at least view it, so I can recreate the partitions exactly where they were?
fdisk /dev/sda -l yields no partitions.
Yeah, I feel clever

This question is an exact duplicate of:
thanks for any help.
I'm trying to show that in a 2body problem, angular momentum is conserved given that $\dfrac{dp}{dt}=\dfrac{-GMm(rv)}{r³}$, where p is momentum, t time, G gravitational constant, M mass of 1 object, m mass of the other, (rv) is the vector between them and r is the magnitude of the vector between them.
I've had a lot of attempts but I don't seem to get very far.
Where L is angular momentum, $r_1$ is position vector of mass M and $r_2$ is position vector of mass m, $p_1$ is momentum of mass M and $p_2$ is momentum of mass m.
If $\dfrac{dL}{dt}=0$ then dL will be conserved over time, applying product rule $L=\dfrac{dr_1}{dt}Xp_1+r_1X\dfrac{dp_1}{dt}+\dfrac{dr_2}{dt}Xp_2+r_2X\dfrac{dp_2}{dt}$
noticing that $p_1=m\dfrac{dr_1}{dt}$ and $p_2=m\dfrac{dr_2}{dt}$ clearly $p_1$ is parallel to$ \dfrac{dr_1}{dt}$ and $p_2$ is parallel to $\dfrac{dr_2}{dt}$ and hence when cross producted with them, the result is 0.
Giving $L=r_1X\dfrac{dp_1}{dt}+r_2X\dfrac{dp_2}{dt}$
I gather I must now show that either these two terms are 0, or they are equal and opposite. I can't see any reason why they would be 0, and (slightly guessing) it seems to make sense to me that they are terms related to how the angular momentum of one body changes with the other body, and I assume they must therefore be equal and opposite. However when I do
$r_1X\dfrac{dp_1}{dt}=-r_2X\dfrac{dp_2}{dt}$ I notice $\dfrac{dp_1}{dt}=\dfrac{-GMm(rv)}{r³}$ and $\dfrac{dp_2}{dt}=\dfrac{GMm(rv)}{r³}$ (since (rv)'s direction is flipped) Therefore $r_1X\dfrac{-GMm(rv)}{r³}=-\dfrac{r_2XGMm(rv)}{r³}$ Defining $w=\dfrac{GMm}{r³}$:
Scalar products are commutative so the (-w)'s easily cancel giving
$r_1X(rv)=r_2X(rv)$ Which then the only solutions are if all components of $r_1$ are equal to all components of $r_2$, however angular momentum should clearly be conserved in all positions, not just when the masses are ontop of each other.
Thanks again for any help.

Prove that $\sqrt{5}$ is an irrational number. Part of the answer: Let $x^2=5$ and $x=p/q$ where $p$ and $q$ are integer numbers and $\operatorname{hcf}(p,q)=1$. $$\begin{align*} x^2&=5\\\ \left(\frac{p}{q}\right)^2&=5\\\ \frac{p^2}{q^2}&=5 & \cdot q^2 \quad \leftarrow \text{Do I have to write this: }q \neq 0\text{? I mean because it was hcf(p,q)=1}.\\\ p^2&=5q^2 \end{align*}$$ I know how it continues. Thank you for your answer.
There is in my opinion no need to remark at this stage that $q \ne 0$, since if we had $q=0$ the earlier expression $$x=\frac{p}{q}$$ would not have made sense.
So we conclude that if $x$ were rational, there would be integers $p$ and $q$ (with $q\ne 0$, but the rest of the proof does not use this, so there is no problem if it is omitted) and $\gcd(p,q)=1$ (this is necessary) such that $$p^2=5q^2.$$ If you now continue in the usual way, the fact that $q \ne 0$ will never need to be used, since what will provide the contradiction is the $\gcd$ condition.
Added: You were in a hurry to get to your question, so perhaps rushed through the first part. It should begin something like this.
Suppose to the contrary that there exist integers $p$ and $q$ such that $\sqrt{5}=\frac{p}{q}$.
Without loss of generality we may assume that the fraction $\frac{p}{q}$ is in lowest terms, that is, that $\gcd(p,q)=1$.
The $x$ stuff is harmless but unnecessary.
If $p^2 = 5q^2$, then $p^2$ is divisible by $5$. Since $5$ is prime that implies $p$ is divisible by $5$; hence $p^2$ is divisible $25$. So $25\cdot(\text{something}) = 5q^2$. Canceling $5$ from both sides, we get $5\cdot(\text{something}) = q^2$. Then, by the same reasoning as above, $q$ is divisible by $5$. Now $p$ and $q$ are both divisible by $5$, so we didn't really have lowest terms.
In general, you need to assert that numbers are not zero when you divide by them. If you wait until you multiply and cancel, it's "too late," so to speak.
Since the first time you do this is by an assumption, it's clear that $q$ cannot be zero by that. If you are in an introductory proof writing class, I would point it out at that point, because it can't hurt. Otherwise, it's clear enough to omit.
It's good that you're thinking about it, though, because asserting that something is not zero before dividing is a proof step that is often forgotten.
