Speed isn't so much of a factor, obviously, but the lower the rolling resistance the less sweaty I am when I get there. Then there's flats to consider. Basically the tire has to never get them because I can't be late. So what size would you ride?

This question exists because it has historical significance, but it is not considered a good, on-topic question for this site, so please do not use it as evidence that you can ask similar questions here. This question and its answers are frozen and cannot be changed. More info: help center.
For my commuting needs, I use Continental Gatorskins 700x28c. I also use Mr Tuffy liners to help protect against punctures. Using this combination, I haven't had a flat in 2 years. Before going to this combination, I would get about 1 flat a month. I travel about 14 km a day, 5 days a week, April to the end of November.
I recommend that you leave enough time in your commute to change a flat if need be. For me, this is only about 10 minutes. Your time may vary. My job is such that it's not a big deal if I'm a few minutes late. If your job requires you to be right on time, you may have to sacrifice being early on the off chance you do get a flat.
Also, ensure that your tires do have enough air in them. If you use skinny tires, a lot of flats come from snakebite flats, caused by not enough air pressure.
Personally I prefer the Schwalbe Marathon Plus tyres in a sensible width, 28 will do nicely or 1.5 (instead of 1.35) if using MTB or folding bike. To the pressure written on the sidewall, checked weekly for embedded glass and correct pressure.
The likelihood of getting flats on properly maintained Marathon Plus is practically zero. On every other tyre brand that I have tried this has not been the case, even if they come with a guarantee. With the Marathon Plus you can go out of your way to deliberately go through glass, for all other tyres glass is akin to Kryptonite.
The truth about the commute is that you learn every bump on the road but there is a lot of traffic and you have to be properly prepared to ride through the rough if you are to make good time.
On the commute it does take me 20 minutes to fix a flat. That is with correct tools and fresh tube. If I get two flats and have to stick on a patch (separate incident) it still takes 20 minutes. Notionally I can fix a tyre quicker than that but in practice this is not the case.
I don't leave 20 minutes earlier just in case I get a puncture, so long as it does not happen too often one can call ahead. Motorists in their cramped-yet-huge tin boxes are regularly a lot later than that.
Tire size is not a sure indicator of flat resistance. As Kibbee notes, proper inflation pressure, road character, riding style.... All factors.
I rarely get flats; can't remember when I had one last riding on the road.
However, they are as inevitable as anything else in life. A good, durable 28mm tire is nice compromise between super-skinny "racing" tires and something you might put on a hybrid.
Avoid tires with tiny little cuts or "sipes", these tend to trap road debris and it will gradually work it's way through the casing. Check pressures frequently, don't use super-light-weight tubes, etc. Watch the road! Potholes, new pavement seams, broken glass and such from auto accidents (or car theft!) are all hazards that can generally be avoided. And carry everything you need to fix a flat....Just in case.
Maybe I'm crazy but I use plain road (700/18s or 700/20s) tires. They are Kevlar reinforced though...
700c x 28 are the narrowest tires/tyres I would run for commuting. I would also recommend kevlar tires/tyres. The last thing you want is to try an repair a flat on the way to work. On the way home is still annoying but without the time obligation it is a little more tolerable.
I use a 23mm Continential GP4000S on the front. I love these tyres. They're super sticky and I've never had one slip out(!!)
On the back I'm trialling 23mm Continental Gatorskins. They are cheaper and since the rear wears out so much faster than the front I'm hoping they'll still grip well but not cost me too much. So far I've been riding on it for about 3 weeks and have had no trouble.
My bike (2010 Kona Dr Dew) came with 700x32 Continental Contact tires.
I've had the bike for 3.5 months so far: i.e. about 160 hours of commuting.
I've had 1 flat so far (front tire): caused by an impressively sharp, 3/4 inch nail through the tire. I don't know what tire could withstand that. When the bike tech replaced the tube for me (my first flat: I wanted to watch how he did it) I asked whether it had Slime in it and he said no: it's too heavy.
I don't always bother to avoid bumps and cracks and small pot-holes: apparently the wheels can take it.
The tires are OK on snow, too, going a bit cautiously; though not on ice.
They say 85 psi on the side. I try to inflate them to 95..100 psi each weekend, and they measure at 80 psi by the next weekend.
Well, obviously a lot depends on how far you travel and what the roads are like -- long distances over smooth suburban highways you want a bit narrower tire than for shorter distances or rougher, more urban streets. But generally there's no point in going narrower than about 28 -- the savings in rolling/wind resistance would only be of interest to a racer -- and likely there'd be little advantage in going below 35 or so, if the route is at all rough. Just be sure to keep your tire pressure up in the 80-100 range, near the top of the sidewall rating (something that also is important to prevent snakebite punctures).
What you definitely DO want is Kevlar-belted tires. The puncture resistance of Kevlar tires is 5-10 times greater than standard tires, especially in the narrower, lighter sizes. My current tires (35mm Kevlar-belted touring tires) have 3000-5000 miles on them and have never had a puncture.
The reason road bikes generally run narrow, high pressure tires is to benefit from lower rolling resistance. It allows higher speeds, with less effort.
I run Schwalbe Ultremo DD tires in 23c. They have excellent, sticky feeling traction, roll fast and smooth, and use a high Thread per Inch casing which helps with flats, as well as having a Kevlar anti flat layer built into the rubber surface. The DD stands for Double Defense.
It's always a fine balance between flat protection and ride quality. But tire width is not a major concern, assuming you're using tires appropriate to your bike and your riding style.
It's worth noting that tire weight will affect the amount of work you have to do. It's most noticeable when changing from worn to new tires, but I'm kind of regretting fitting 28s because my old 25s were lighter. You have to maintain the rotating inertia of your tires, so it's not just rolling resistance, but also tire and rim weight that will affect the effort you will have to expend to maintain speed. This higher inertia will also make your bike more stable and slower to turn in. Bigger tires basically allow you to be more comfortable. Taller sidewalls, more available flex, and you can run slightly lower pressure and still avoid flats. I'm a big guy and I don't think 28s are really necessary, but they will increase the rigor of your workout, which is why I'm leaving them on. If you want to breeze quickly through your commute, you'll be fine with smaller tires
Using 23mm tires on commuter for several years and feeling excellent, don't see any need to increase the size. Always commuting on asphalt only. Very seldom getting out on gravel and it is not that bad too.
Used Kenda, Panaracer, Michelin (Pro3 and Pro4) and Continental (4000). Michelin remain the distant favourite among all - the most sticky and comfortable tires.
During the last 5 years got only two flats. The first one was on Kenda tires - they were not good anyway, and the second on Panaracer, because tires were work out to the point of exposing large portions of wireframe.

My homemade burger patties became smelly after one day kept in the fridge (not the freezer). The taste after I grilled them was also not good. Along with the smell, there is also blood stagnant inside the container.
Are there any solutions? Should I have boiled the beef first? But then I wonder if the taste after I grilled the patty would be different.

Leukemia & Lymphoma
Understanding Leukemia -- the Basics
In this article
What Causes Leukemia?
No one knows exactly what causes leukemia. Certain chromosome abnormalities have been associated with leukemia, but they do not cause it. For example, virtually all people with chronic myeloid leukemia (CML) and some with acute lymphocytic leukemia (ALL) have an abnormal chromosome known as the Philadelphia Chromosome in their white blood cells and bone marrow. As with other leukemia types, the chromosome abnormality is an acquired abnormality; it is neither inherited nor passed on to one's children.
Genetic disorders associated with acute myeloid leukemia (AML) include Down syndrome, Bloom syndrome, Fanconi anemia, or immune deficiency disorders such as Wiskott-Aldrich syndrome and ataxia-telangectasia. In addition, at least one virus in the same family as the human immunodeficiency virus (HIV) has been associated with a rare form of the disease -- the HTLV-1 virus.
Environmental factors also seem to influence the risk of developing leukemia. Tobacco smokers are more prone to certain leukemias. Research also suggests that prolonged exposure to radiation, various chemicals in home and work environments -- such as petroleum products -- and non-ionizing radiation is associated with leukemia.
Leukemia is also a rare complication of chemotherapy and radiation therapy used to treat other cancers. The risk of leukemia depends upon the types of chemotherapy drugs used. The risk of developing acute leukemia is greatest in persons who have received both chemotherapy and radiation. This factor is most commonly associated with prior treatment for breast cancer, Hodgkin's lymphoma, and non-Hodgkin's lymphoma. Other prior cancers associated with the development of acute leukemia are myeloma, testicular cancer, and sarcoma.
Ionizing radiation such as from nuclear explosion exposure, uranium and uranium dust exposure, and radon is associated with the development of leukemia.
Family history is a risk factor for leukemia as well. For example, if an identical twin develops ALL there is a 20% chance the other twin will develop it within a year. After a year, the risk then falls off to the same risk as non-identical twins, but still remains five times that of the general population.

Global Positioning
In the midst of the worst international economic meltdown in generations, Law School scholars of varying backgrounds and perspectives are grappling with how to effectively assess and address what has become a global crisis.
Like civil engineers after a bridge collapse, legal scholars are joining the inquest into the wipeout of the global financial system. The drive to build a better, more durable governance structure may be just as strong now as it was in the aftermath of the Great Depression and World War II. That was when British economist John Maynard Keynes helped create the International Monetary Fund and the World Bank, and a Tennessee lawyer named Cordell Hull—President Franklin Roosevelt's secretary of state—spearheaded formation of the United Nations.
At Columbia Law School, fixing finance, both in the United States and worldwide, has vaulted to the top of the agendas of several faculty members, among them Katharina Pistor, Jeffrey N. Gordon, Merritt B. Fox, and John C. Coffee Jr. While sharing a common goal, the professors have different perspectives on whether the global financial system requires extreme reforms or something less—in other words, a whole new bridge or just some extra girders and better rivets.
No question, there's plenty to think about. "We are clearly in the midst of a legal tsunami," Thomas Hall, a partner at Chadbourne & Parke in New York, told Reuters last October. Even many strong believers in free markets say that more regulation, or at least more effective regulation, may be required. U.S. Court of Appeals Judge Richard Posner, in a visit to Columbia Law School last November, told students, "You can have rationality, and you can have competition, and you can still have disasters."
One of the Law School's most active scholars in the field is Katharina Pistor, the Michael I. Sovern Professor of Law. The German-born professor thinks countries
with poorly developed domestic financial systems should control inflows of capital
and strictly regulate the activities of international financial institutions that operate
within their borders. Pistor, who joined the Columbia Law School faculty in 2001, has made a project out of rethinking international finance with a focus on protecting vulnerable developing economies. She received her law degree in Germany and has worked in Russia, Eastern Europe, and Asia. Pistor counts as a formative experience her time researching corporate governance in Russia during the "shock therapy" of rapid privatization in the early 1990s—a botched process that led to the rise of the oligarchs. "By magic hands, the market was supposed to work," she says. "Traveling through Russia and talking to company managers and directors, I thought that was an unlikely proposition."
Pistor attributes the current global crisis to a credit boom that was created by banks and abetted by politicians, who enjoyed the politically popular (though impermanent) prosperity that was engendered by abundant lending. Bank managers made imprudent loans because they feared losing business to aggressive rivals. Pistor likes to quote former Citigroup CEO Charles Prince, who in 2007 told the Financial Times, "As long as the music is playing, you've got to get up and dance."
If nothing changes, says Pistor, it's highly likely that the music will eventually restart, and the bankers will be swept up in the frenzy all over again. In an article published by the Center for Economic Policy Research's VoxEU.org website earlier this year, she wrote, "A major task for the new governance of finance is to break this cycle."
Pistor argues that the breakdown of trust in the international financial system has left a vacuum that is being filled by private, bilateral arrangements between suppliers and consumers of capital. On the supply side are sovereign wealth funds, such as those of China, Singapore, and Kuwait. On the demand side are big Western banks, which distribute the cash by lending to consumers and businesses. She predicts these relationships will evolve over time into tight networks lending support to members and shaping the governance of global markets.
But Pistor says these ad hoc arrangements exclude nations that are too small or undeveloped to attract the interest of sovereign wealth funds or Western banks in the post-crisis world. She doesn't favor going back to the old, one-size-fits-all international regulatory system exemplified by the IMF's international financial architecture, which she says "leaves little room to countries for protecting themselves." Instead, in a March 3 piece for VoxEU, she advocated "multiple, decentralized, yet interlinked, governance networks." All nations, regardless of which network they joined, would pay into a global insurance fund that, like the International Monetary Fund, would bail out countries that got in over their heads. Her idea is that fragile countries that clamp down on volatile capital flows would expose themselves to less risk, and thus would be permitted to pay lower premiums into the insurance fund.
Pistor knows her ideas may strike some people as extreme, but she says this is a time for bold thinking. She approvingly quotes Federal Reserve Chairman Ben Bernanke, who last fall said, "There are no atheists in foxholes and no ideologues in financial crises." Pistor is unimpressed by arguments suggesting that regulation will distort market forces that allocate capital. Regulation will "by definition" conflict with what companies want, she wrote in a VoxEU article in February, adding, "Insisting that this is market 'distorting' misses the very purpose of regulation."
Pistor's ideas are getting a favorable reception in some circles. Columbia's Nobel Prize–winning economist Joseph Stiglitz, in a recent interview, called Pistor's work "interesting and important," noting that "she's not a market fundamentalist." Dani Rodrik, a professor of political economy at Harvard's Kennedy School, referred to her February online article as "one of the best recent commentaries—by which I mean one that I wish I had written."
Some of Pistor's colleagues at the Law School favor a more cautious approach to reform; among them is Jeffrey Gordon, the Alfred W. Bressler Professor of Law. Gordon, a specialist in corporate law and governance, as well as in mergers and acquisitions, warns against making extreme changes to the framework of international finance that could have unintended consequences.
"My approach is to look at specific examples of institutional failure," says Gordon. "I don't think the system needs to be transformed root and branch." Rather, he says, "there needs to be a more concerted effort to take account of the systemic effects of [financial] innovation." Among the innovations Gordon mentions as having unintended consequences are securitization of subprime mortgages and the rise of credit default swaps, which obscured who would bear the losses from a borrower's default while at the same time revealing the market's nervousness about the likelihood of default by critical institutions, such as big banks.
In Gordon's view, one big step would be to empower the Treasury Department and the Federal Reserve so they can deal with crises in the future without having to ask Congress for special powers. He says the crisis got worse last fall when the Bush administration was forced to go to Congress and explain precisely how bad things were, so as to justify its request for new powers. The extreme language scared the American people, Gordon says, and, "A crisis largely confined to the financial sector broke out to the real economy and therefore became much more difficult to manage."
Gordon, who worked for the Treasury Department in the late 1970s and early 1980s, had a front-row seat for the successful financial assistance to New York City and to Chrysler. But that did not give him any confidence in the government's ability to fix the banking system through extreme measures like nationalization. In his paper "The Glib Nationalizers," cited in February by The Economist, Gordon warned that it would be dangerous for the federal government to take over big, weak banks, pay off depositors, and then sell their assets for whatever the market will bear, forcing banks' creditors to take big losses. Forcing heavy losses on creditors, he asserted, could destabilize the financial system, while the nationalization of one bank could stir fears that other banks are at risk, causing even more instability.
Gordon says he admires Pistor and doesn't minimize the current problems, but with respect to the current institutional structure, he is quick to point out: "We didn't do so badly. It was 75 years. A couple wars. Dramatic changes in the world economy. The Depression-era structure held up."
While he favors trying to prevent crises, he believes that they are inevitable and thus stresses the importance of having "enough ex post authority to cabin the fallout" when they do occur. "I'm not looking for a new form of capitalism," Gordon says. "I'm a fan of muddling through. I guess that's because I think it is very hard to foresee the effect of even changes in old institutions, much less new institutions."
Merritt Fox, the Michael E. Patterson Professor of Law, shares some of Gordon's views. He says he is concerned that excessive regulation could make financial institutions less efficient at allocating capital to promising firms and withholding it from weak ones. "Ultimately, that's where the generation of wealth comes from," Fox argues. "That's why the U.S. and Europe and Japan are 10 times as wealthy per capita as they were 100 years ago." While Fox favors more supervision for firms in the shadow banking system, he says, "I don't think you need to restrict capital flows."
For her part, Pistor asserts that fighting credit bubbles does not have to mean surrendering efficiency in the allocation of capital. In fact, she says that letting credit bubbles grow out of control is a worst-case scenario for efficient allocation of capital because, in a bubble, lenders give money to deserving and undeserving borrowers alike. As for bank nationalization, Gordon's bête noire, Pistor's recent scholarship mentions the idea only in passing in a list of options for dealing with weak institutions.
One thing becomes clear from the recent intellectual engagement of Pistor and Gordon: When attempting to address a problem as complex as this one, there's plenty of room for diverging viewpoints, even among the most knowledgeable scholars. John Coffee, for example, is addressing the crisis from a different direction, focusing on the best way to control U.S. financial institutions. In March, he told the Senate Banking Committee he favors a "twin peaks" model, with one regulator for systemic safety and a different one to focus on transparency and investor protection. The enduring problem for all the scholars is that whatever system is designed, smart people will put enormous energy into trying to get around it. Compared to this, building safer bridges is a breeze.

A Crown Imperiled: Book Two of the Chaoswar Saga (Hardcover)
From the New York Times bestselling author of the Riftwar Cycle—including the original Riftwar, the Serpentwar, the Darkwar, the Demonwar, and now the Chaoswar—comes the latest entry in one of the most treasured and enduring sagas in modern fantasy.
A Crown Imperilled
War rages in Midkemia once again, and behind the chaos, disquieting evidence points to dark elements at work.
As enemies march across the realm wreaking destruction, its brave and loyal defenders battle to survive—a struggle made more perilous now that Jim Dasher's trusted intelligence network has been cleverly dismantled. Region by region, Midkemia is being ripped apart, and the loyal spy and his allies find themselves overpowered at every turn.
Signs of the kingdom's impending doom surround them. King Gregory of the Isles has yet to produce an heir. Roldem and Rillanon have each been plagued by palace coups that threaten to topple their thrones. Lord Hal of Crydee and his great friend Ty Hawkins, champion swordsman of the Masters' Court, have been entrusted with smuggling Princess StephanÉ and her lady-in-waiting, the lovely and perplexing Lady Gabriella, out of Roldem to safety. But the rising danger has made finding refuge treacherous.
Nowhere is safe, including Ylith, Midkemia's strategic bastion, where Hal's younger brothers Martin and Brendan hold off an onslaught of brutal Keshian Dog Soldiers and a mysterious force from beneath the sea. Yet courage alone is not enough to withstand the continued enemy assault. Without reinforcements, hope of success fades. Martin, Brendan, and their compatriots know that while losing Crydee, the legendary city on the kingdom's edge, would be devastating, the realm can still be saved. But if Ylith falls, all is lost.
As Jim, Hal, and all their brothers in arms fight for their lives, Pug and the Conclave of Shadows embark on a magical quest to hunt down the dark force orchestrating the destruction before Midkemia is annihilated. And time is running out. . . .

I have read somewhere that the LDS teaches that each person existed prior to physical conception. What are the specifics of this teaching?
Sign up

This doctrine teaches, in short, that we literally existed prior to birth into mortality on this earth, and were involved in the salvation plan.
See the below excerpts from the Encyclopedia of Mormonism...
@Bob Black hit the nail on the head there pretty much. I'd like to add one of my favorite scriptures that actually comes out of the KJV Bible, Proverbs 8:22-30.
This expounds on and helps clarify some other scriptures as already stated (Job, Jeremiah, Alma, etc). It is clear that we had wisdom and other spiritual faculties in the pre-mortal life. Life does not end at death, why would it merely begin out of nothing at birth?
From an LDS perspective:
*Christ always said he was sent from his father in heaven. He did not just begin to exist from his earthly birth.
We all talk about death like being called home to God . If we are called home that means we use to live there once before. As it states in Jeremiah' before I formed thee in the belly and before thou camest forth from the womb I knew thee and foreordained thee to be a prophet unto the nations."
The plan of salvation enables us God's spirit children to have a chance to come to earth and prove ourselves worthy to return to heaven. We will not be singing and playing harps all day long like some people think of heaven. God will endow us with more knowledge and power to enjoy the things that he enjoys, do as he does, and yes even create as he creates. His angels have a portion of that power now.

I'm developing a webapp where my users can save a lot of images, videos and audio on my site.
I need a hosting service which offers large disk space. Many hosting services say 'Unlimited', but do they really offer disk space in GBs and TBs?
I'm developing a webapp where my users can save a lot of images, videos and audio on my site.
I need a hosting service which offers large disk space. Many hosting services say 'Unlimited', but do they really offer disk space in GBs and TBs?
Hosts that advertise an "unlimited" service normally limit the service in their terms and conditions. For example, this passage from Hostgator's terms limits bandwidth usage:
They don't tell you exactly what the "allowance" is in terms of GB/month; just that there is an unpublished allowance that may cause them to suspend your account. (Their services advertise "unlimited bandwidth".) In the same terms of service, Hostgator impose a limit not on disk space (which is "unlimited") but on the number of files ("inodes") created:
As you can see, there are limits on the service even though it's advertised as "unlimited".
It's usually safe to read "unlimited" as "generous", but it's a mistake to assume that unlimited means infinite resources. Read the terms of service of the web host you're considering, and follow up with their support people if it's not clear.
If you want truly unlimited storage, you'll need to look into cloud file storage like Amazon S3, Rackspace Cloud Files, etc.
They are truly unlimited, but you will have to pay for what your users utilize.
As a disclaimer, I am in the middle of relaunching my hosting business as WebHost.io which is trying to push site owners away from shared hosting and towards dedicated AWS instances.
Unlimited makes for great marketing. Typically storage and bandwidth are advertised as such. Services that advertise this way are almost always shared hosting which is done based on averages. The reality is the average website that is on shared hosting uses less than 100MB of storage. Bandwidth is a tad more, but the vast majority of sites use only a few GB's at best. Any site that will exceed these levels by any large margin wouldn't be caught dead hosting on a shared platform and will have long since migrated away in search of more CPU, Memory, IOPS. These 3 elements are things the shared hosting providers never discuss, and yet, I would much rather have better of these than more storage or bandwidth.
They are unlimited as long as you don't cause any problem to their server. Most of the time, their server is only good for small to medium websites. They don't put a specific limit onto you, but if your website is too busy and causing problems to their server, they'll ask you to upgrade, which I find that pretty reasonable. Because if your site is too big, you shouldn't be on a shared hosting plan in the first place. I am currently using smarterasp.net, so far so good for my medium size sites.
I used to be a web host and there is no such thing as unlimited. Period. It is physically impossible.
Here are two examples from back in the day.
A host offers 100gig of disk storage. You say great and buy but only use about 8 gig. And so do the others that buy. Hosts count on this and over sell the storage they actually have available. With the new technologies available to hosts, these numbers now get even bigger.
A host offers 100gig of transfer quota. You say great and buy but only use about 8gig. Fine. But the next guy is getting close to 40gig so the bandwidth manager prioritizes the throughput rate trim on this account so that your transfer rate slows down disproportionately during peak requests.
There are many more tricks too. But these are just a few.
Honest and high quality hosts have realistic limits in their plans. Avoid a host that promises the moon and hands you a moon pie. (actually, that sounds good right about now... with a dr. pepper too?)
There is no such thing as unlimited and there is no such thing as free and there is no such thing as 99.999% up-time (that is an impossible number). Don't buy the hype.
Unlimited is a gimmick. If they provide you with unlimited space and bandwidth, they will set a cap over what you can store. If you have backup files OR large files uploaded, they will ask you to download/delete it. They will ask you to store files only if they are for web use.
Unlimited is BULLSHIT. It is simply NOT possible to provide unlimited disk space. Always read the Terms of Service of a host when buying a plan with "unlimited disk space". They often let you use a lot, but when they begin to notice (you're beginning to use too much in their opinion) they will find a way to suspend or terminate your account.
Never, ever use a host that promises "unlimited disk space". Trust me. Not only because it's not true; also because in most cases, the 'bad' hosts offer unlimited disk space. Honest hosts are often the best hosts (they have their hearts in the right place and really care about your website) and honest hosts don't promise "unlimited disk space".
Don't use a host that promises "unlimited disk space". If you do, make sure you read their Terms of Service very carefully; there's often more information about that hosts' definition of unlimited. Some hosts like Site5 promise "unlimited disk space", but they do put a nice link next to it with an explanation of it. Don't buy it!
Some hosts refer to unlimited as 'unmetered'. Unmetered often means the same as unlimited, but because many hosts have noticed that many people don't appreciate the term 'unlimited', they changed the term to 'unmetered'. That's what I explained earlier:
So remember: there's always a limit!

Revision as of 21:24, 28 October 2008
Team to write a detailed proposal on the rights and responsibilities of Noisebridge members. Sign up on this page and we'll self-organize to do it.
Rachel (team lead)
Skory (some guy)
Jacob (nobody special)
Turkshead 16:12, 15 October 2008 (PDT)
Mark (Coppertop)
Audrey (note taker)
A bunch of people met before the general meeting on Tues 10-21 and talked a lot. We're not ready to make any official recommendations yet but we think one more meeting should do it. We'll meet again on Tues 10-28.
Membership form
File:Noisebridgemembership.pdf or File:Noisebridgemembership.doc. (rtf is unwanted, OMG)
Proposed Process
1. fill out top third of the form 2. put the form in the binder 3. each meeting, there is a standing agenda item to read the applicants out of the binder 4. a month passes, during which the applicant gets 2 sponsors to sign their form 5. after this month, the applicant is approved by the general membership. at that point they fill out the bottom third of the form. It is perfectly acceptable to postpone the approval until the next meeting (or the next, etc) . 6. the new member gives the Treasurer their dues, and the Secretary the form
During the month, anyone can look in the binder at the names. If you have a problem with one of the applicants, take time during that month to try and resolve the problem. You may ask another member to be a proxy for you to either help resolve the problem (preferred) or to voice your objection at the approval meeting.
Meeting Notes
Rachel started off the meeting with a list of questions we need to answer:
- How does one become a member?/What does it take to be a member?
- What priveleges is a member entitled to?
- What should a member not do?/What is our code of conduct?
- If a member becomes a problem, how do we expel them?
How does one become a member?/What does it take to be a member?
3 month period. someone vouches for them integrate with the community before you attempt to join it. what can't you do in the first three months? the community decides if this person will be a part of the group
it is easier to not let someone in than it is to get rid of them later.
are we viewing the community as the same as the space? do we want to make a distinction between people who have keys and can use the space and members?
decouple keyholders and members. "I trust you, you can have a key"
NYC Resistor - you must be invited and then accepted by the membership. more exclusive. the space is small
Enki - about Metalab - new people are encouraged to contribute. not a formal process. Growth is a positive thing. If we have a lot of members, we can expand.
Jake - doesn't agree with NYC Resistor format. People have come here and complained about their process
(Jake) Honorary Members - visitors who will have keys. Enki is an example. Suggests mailing keys to people who we wish would show up. Not worried about people showing up.
Safety concern - should we have a list of people who have keys. lock is easily picked. Jake doesn't think we should be concerned about knowing who has keys
fill out a form?? Simple web form - we can see who is the new members. form with two cosigners to vouch. (What about people new to the area? After three months of hanging out, you know someone.)
Three month period will help weed out people who will lose interest quickly.
Application fee will become first month dues if they're ultimately accepted into the group.
the process we came up with at the end of the discussion:
1. applicant puts name on website
2. time passes
3. fill out form
4. finds two members to vouch
5. anyone with an objection within 3 month time period should speak up. Some objections can be resolved. Some cannot. Approve by consensus.
What priveleges is a member entitled to?
key to the space
right to participate in the consensus process.
What should a member not do? What is our code of conduct?
Jake - rather not have a formal code of conduct Rachel - code of conduct - "Be Nice"
"Be Nice and Be Excellent to Each Other"
If someone is a problem, how do we expell them?
we talked before about the membership holding a vote. member in question can then appeal to the board before being expelled.
do we take their key away? If they still have access, how does it work to ban people?
Peter strongly suggests that we have a process in place before the problem ever arises.
Jake - lets not use force, use reason instead. make them not want to be here - that will be more effective than throwing someone out.
Enki - have a set of guidelines. board decides
temporary suspension?
2/3 majority as required by law.
no conclusion here. more discussion is necessary

I want to import an audiobook where there are 14 folders on the form "Author - CD ## - Title", and the mp3-files are on the form "### - Author - Title" (incrementally over all CDs, so the last file of 'CD 01' is named '012...", and the first file of 'CD 02' is named '013...'.
However, the ID3 tag stupidly consist of "Title = Author", and nothing else. And when imported the files are scattered around randomly in the playlist.
How do I sort a playlist by filename?
or; How do I remove the ID3-tags of a folder of folders of mp3-files on Mac easily.

(December 17, 2012)--Another scam has hit Central Texas, this time the scammer claims to represent a federal agency.
According to a Bell County resident, a man called her number and claimed that the agency had been monitoring her internet activity because of illegal activity.
She was told that federal authorities were going to confiscate her computer and she was advised to cooperate.
The resident says she was never allowed to say anything other than "yes" and "no" and that the caller never identified himself. She hung up.
Upon calling the number back, a recording claiming to be the "national justice center" told the caller that a $500 fine was owed for not showing up to jury duty.
Fortunately, the resident realized it was a scam.
"The man had a firm, calm voice… I realized the first call was to get me upset and to lure me into calling them back only to be more intimidated into sending $500 for a bogus fine," she said.
The Better Business Bureau says pressure and urgency are often warning signs of a scam.

Special relativity theory says simultaneity is relative, meaning that different observers will not agree on what happened first and what second. Does it then make sense to say that looking at distant stars, we see them how they looked "billions of years ago" and not how they look now? Does it make sense to talk about what these stars look like now? How do we define this "now" if simultaneity is relative?
Consider two points A and B in spacetime. If they are separated by a spacelike interval, then indeed different observers can disagree on which happened earlier. However, there are two other possibilities. A could be inside the future light cone of B, in which case all observers agree that A is in B's future. Similarly, B can unambiguously be in A's future.
Things may get more complicated in general relativity, but this idea still holds. The distant galaxies we see are in our past, and no shift of reference frame can alter this. Causality is preserved.
Yes, in the framework of Special Relativity, it makes perfect sense that there is a present state for all the stars that we see. There is an enormous set of events (in the ordinary sense) happening at this precise moment all around the Universe. But...
But for another observer moving with respect to us, the set of things that are happening at the same time IS different. I remark the word "IS", not to be confused with "looks". There is a present state of the world for another observer that moves relative to us, and is a state as real as ours, but just different.
This is only valid in Special Relativity. As Alfred Centaury correctly warns in its comment, the definition of "the present" is a convention in FLRW Cosmology (within the framework of General Relativity). The Universal Time of the Comoving observers is choosen because it seems rather natural (all observers could for example set his watches to a certain value when they measure a given mean mass density in their local volume) but spacetime could be sliced in another way, defining a different set of synchronized observers.
More formally, the definition of time in cosmology is motivated by the Robertson-Walker metrics, because fixing any particular time value leaves a spatial metric that is homogeneous and isotropic.

Utah Vacation Homes
is now managed by
Utah Vacation Homes is proud to be a Vacasa destination!
Press Release - For Immediate Release
April 16, 2014
Vacasa Rentals Acquires Utah Vacation Homes, Expanding to Seventh State in the West
Portland-based vacation rental management firm Vacasa Rentals recently acquired Utah Vacation Homes, marking Vacasa's expansion into its seventh state in the Western US. With the addition of Utah Vacation Homes' 56 properties, located throughout Park City and Salt Lake City, Vacasa's portfolio will number over 900 privately-owned vacation homes.
Utah Vacation Homes' employees, including Vacation Rental Managers Association Board of Directors member Tristan Webb, will be retained and added to Vacasa's roster of over 200 employees.
"We're excited to be working in a world-class destination like Park City," said Vacasa's founder and CEO Eric Breon. "And we know that Tristan brings a passion and vision for the entire vacation rental industry along with his years of experience. We're looking forward to growing together as we bring the Vacasa brand both to current UVH owners, and as we expand throughout Utah."
The UVH acquisition occurred as a result of Vacasa's straightforward approach when exploring new markets: the company makes a habit of reaching out to existing companies or rental agents that might be interested in business partnerships with a larger brand.
"The Utah Vacation Homes team and I are very excited to join the Vacasa team," said Webb. "Vacasa has implemented many of the procedures and processes we previously desired, but were unable to resource as a small company — I am excited to be part of the most technologically sophisticated company in the vacation rental industry."
Vacasa also manages homes in Oregon, Washington, Colorado, Idaho, California, and Hawaii. The company, which was founded in 2009, is focused on further expansion into Southern California as well as Utah.
"While we've grown very quickly, we've been able to sustain our success because we invest in marketing and rate optimization, so we can earn our owners higher rental income on more bookings," said Breon. "And while Park City is primarily a ski market, I feel confident that we can show the newest homeowners in the Vacasa family just how well we can book out the summer as well."

5 Technologies That Turn Handicaps Into Super Powers
Science does a pretty awesome job of letting the handicapped get around. Prosthetic limbs, electronic ear implants, there are all sorts of ways these people can live almost normal lives.
But some aren't settling for that, figuring that if we're using technology to make you walk, and technology is always improving, then why stop there? Why not make you walk better than those other assholes? Here are some technologies that within our lifetimes can make the human body better than what nature ever intended. Whether nature likes it or not.
#5. Replacing Missing Legs
More than once you've probably uttered to yourself "I'd give my right leg for another delicious piece of pie" but those of you who went to that one shady pie shop/human organ harvesting shop in Beijing know that's actually a bad bargain.
Fortunately, as with all technology, prosthetic legs have gotten better and better with time. Why keep trying to mimic nature, when you can just improve on it?
So, for instance, for those athletic types who have lost legs there are carbon fiber prosthetics called Cheetah Flex Feet, also known as blades. They're specifically designed for high-impact, legless insanity out on the track. As you may have learned in biology class, J-Shaped carbon fiber legs are not the same as regular meat legs and as such aren't subject to the same fatigues. So when a typical runner starts getting that old fashioned burning sensation in their shins, a runner on Cheetahs is just bouncing along like nobody's business.
How well do they work? Just ask Oscar Pistorius, a double amputee Olympian who was banned from the Olympics because his space-age legs gave him an unfair advantage over other runners. They let him take longer strides and use 25 percent less energy to run the same distances.
Of course they're not as useful in other situations, but, unlike your real legs, you can just swap these out with some others. Perhaps soon you'll strap on legs with artificial muscles made of carbon nanotubes, that even generate electricity as they flex. Sure, the designers claim that the whole electricity generation thing is so charging won't be as much of an issue, but we're assuming the real purpose is to deliver a nice electrical jolt with your roundhouse kick. Don't tell us there's no market for it.
#4. Curing the Blind
Next to death, blindness is what most people fear the most. Yet all of us are just one nailgun accident away from saying goodbye to our vision forever. But thanks to science, soon not only will you not need to go tapping around with a cane or beg for change on the street cartoon-style, but will have Terminator-style computerized vision with data overlays.
Thanks to a Virtual Retinal Display technology, they'll have a device that can project the image through whatever tiny part of your eye remains undamaged (and eventually they'll be able to connect directly to the optic nerve itself, in case your whole eye was plucked out by a bird or something).
The visual display that feeds into your brain can actually be sharper and brighter than what your God-given eye brings you, and can even reduce glare in ways a natural eye can't. As an added bonus, why settle for just having vision restored when VRD technology can overlay an image displaying information about whatever you're looking at?
What kind of information? Use your imagination. Give the device WiFi access and it could presumably look up any damned thing you want. Maybe you can see a dude on the street and it'll run an instant background check in the time it takes him to get within mugging range. Or maybe you hear a song on a passing car radio, and it'll pop up the title and artist.
This isn't exactly science fiction, either; already they're working on VRD displays for non-blind people that can, for instance, let a mechanic look at an engine and instantly get an inside or exploded view of the mechanism. Your surgeon could do the same, seeing a 3D image of your pancreas all while displaying vital stats. Or amusing Twitter updates. Whatever.
#3. Replacing Damaged Skin
If you've ever broken up with a significant other and decided to waste a night gorging on nachos and tequila until, in a fit of inebriated depression, you try to put yourself out of your misery with the cheese grater, you may be aware of how skin grafts work. Alternately you may be one of the less deserving people who's suffered some serious burns or one of a few rare skin disorders and needed grafted flesh to help you recover.
Skin grafts right now have a nasty side, as they either depend on taking skin from elsewhere on your body, or from a donor (possibly a dead one). That's where cultured skin comes in.
These are patches of skin that are grown just for you, in a lab, right when you need it. And it's new--meaning young--skin. It's the difference between taking a sweater off of a hobo or buying yourself a new coat.
The scientists probably don't use an actual farm to grow the skin. They probably use a lab.
So in the future, the dude who gets his face burned off will not only come out looking normal again, but decades younger. So he'll likely have to wait in line behind a whole bunch of perfectly healthy people doing it out of vanity. Right now cosmetic surgery winds up making 50-year-olds look like 50-year-olds wearing terrifying expressionless masks, but some day they'll likely just get their damned skin replaced.
We're not sure if people will be able to change races this way, but man if they can, there'll be a Hell of a sitcom idea in that.

Not since the days of Levert, Sweat Gill have three talents come together to form a musical supergroup. Well, ladies, your wait is over. TGT or Tyrese, Ginuwine and Tank are officially signed to Atlantic Records and will make their official debut at the Soul Train Music Awards concert this weekend. The Concert is part of a 3-day weekend in Las Vegas culminating in the taping of the 25th Soul Train Music Awards. The Awards will air on BET and Centric on Sunday, November 25th at 9 p.m.
Though TGT has been in the makings since 2007 and the group actually appeared on a Slim Thug single, "Let Me Grind," their respective contracts with various labels had them in legal limbo for some time. But just over a month ago, the trio officially signed to Atlantic Records and is currently working on their debut CD.
On his Twitter earlier this year, Tyrese promised that the group would take up "where Jodeci left off,' which can't be anything but good news for fans starved of R&B music like the kind that dominated the 90's. There's no reality show in the making as of yet, but this video released by the group makes you wonder if that's the next project they'll collaborate on.
Check out the private TGT signing dinner below. WARNING: a few explicit references

You Know You're In The Depths Of Remodeling When...
Click to see the album, The Condo With The Killer View.
1. You are only able to watch television on your laptop even though you have 5 flat screens in your house.
2. Your guests routinely ask, "Will you have running water? How about electricity?" before planning a visit.
3. You only walk through the house with your shoes ON.
4. You suspect that you might be high on paint fumes, and it's a familiar feeling.
5. You can recite your granite options backwards and forwards while simultaneously patting the top of your head and rubbing your stomach.
6. Your contractors are all on speed dial and you know the names of their kids. And dogs.
7. You refer to the Lowe's security guard that locks the doors at the end of each evening by his first name. And he knows yours.
8. The Special Services crew at Home Depot actually became so involved in one of your projects that they helped you paint it. (Kudos, Oakland Park! Special thanks to Rico!)
9. You sketch ideas so often that when you run out of paper you start using napkins. Then, you turn to receipts. In a pinch, you'll even take notes on the back of your hand.
10. You've convinced yourself that this is the last time that you're ever renovating anything. Ever. Really, I mean it this time…
Okay, it's your turn to spill now. How did you realize that you were knee deep in the throes of a renovation project?

1) when the plywood floors feel normal to sleep on and mattresses don't.
2) when you scream because your hubster used the blue bucket to brush his teeth in, forgetting the RED bucket's the dental bucket; the blue to wash dishes! ugh.

Let $R$ be a regular local ring, and let $I,J\subset R$ be ideals. I'd like to understand the "meaning" of the existence of a regular sequence $(x_1,...,x_n)$ in $R$ such that $I$ is generated by $x_1,...,x_k$ and $J$ is generated by $(x_{k+1},...,x_n)$ for some $1\leq k\leq n$.
For example, the existence of such a sequence implies that $\text{Tor}^R_k(R/I,R/J)=0$ for all $k>0$.
Is it possible to give an equivalent description of the above property in terms of the vanishing of certain Tor and/or Ext terms?
Thank you! Hanno

Walters, Hoffses, and Hollinger Victorious At Les Schwab Tires Night In Banks
By Ben Deatherage

Fans of Sunset Speedway Park were treated to some great racing for Les Schwab Tires Night on Saturday July 27th. Classes that were on hand included the Northwest Extreme Late Model Series, Midgets, and Womens.
In the Northwest Extreme Late Model feature Bob Trout from Banks would lead the early goings in his Mechanical Systems Inc./Greenway Construction #28 Victory Circle. Trout would blaze the trail until being overtaken by two-time series champion Greg Walters, also from Banks, on lap sixteen. Walters would lead the rest of the distance to put his T&G Trucking/American Landscaping #97 Victory Circle back in victory lane for the fourth time in 2013 with the series.
Collen Winebarger from Corbett would finish a respectable second place in his Discount Race Car Parts/All-In Property Investments/Hillsboro Vac & Sew #1 MasterSbilt followed by Bob Trout in third. The balance of the top five would consist of the Reser's Fine Foods/Wayne Martin Floor Covering #99 MasterSbilt of Brad Martin from Warren in fourth and Jacob Myers of Salem crossing the line in fifth in his Myers Racing/Baxter's Auto Parts/Powell Motors #9 Rayburn. Brad Martin and Collen Winebarger would be the two heat race winners while the Jackhammer Trucking/T&G Trucking #76 Rayburn of Jason Johnson from Gresham would win the evening's trophy dash.
Beaverton's Mitch Hoffses would make it two wins in a row in the Midgets division in his eBay Motors/Hoosier Tire Midwest/Ridgecrest Homes #5H Hawk. The 2012 Northwest Extreme Sprint champion Ariel Biggs, from Ocasta, Washington, would lead the majority of the feature in the Don Emory owned #11E mount. Biggs would lead all but the final two laps when Hoffses would make the move and pass for the lead on lap twenty-eight. It would mark the sixth overall win at SSP among three divisions for Hoffses this season.
Ariel Biggs would end her night in second place followed by the Ridgecrest Homes/Pro-Fab Custom Cars & Engines/Herz Precision Parts #5B Hawk of Pat Bliss from Milwaukie in third. Finishing the night in fourth was Glenn Bittrolf of Springfield in the #15 mount and the Analog Café/DRD Records/Foster Fab/G.W. Machine #8 Spike of Lance Hallmark from McMinnville finishing in fifth. Earning heat race wins earlier in the night were Hallmark and Bliss while Mitch Hoffses was the trophy dash winner.
Gabrielle Hollinger of Timber was the big winner in the Womens division. With the win she would become only the second driver to win the class in 2013. Hollinger would lead the entire distance in her All In Property Investments/Duncan Automotive/Avenue Settlement Corporation #60 Camaro to earn the first career feature victory in her career.
Freya Smith of McMinnville would earn second in the Sweere's Auto Body/Sweere's Trucking/Tire Factory of McMinnville #37 Camaro followed by the #23 Camaro of Cori Vandercoevering from Banks in third. Cornelius' Marcie Treat would complete the finishing order in fourth in the #02 Camaro. Smith and Vandercoevering would pick up the wins in the heat races and Vandercoevering would take home the triumph in the trophy dash.
Sunset Speedway Park will have a full night of racing lined up next Saturday August 3rd for the annual Doug Walters Classic. Classes that will be on hand include the Northwest Extreme Late Model Series, IMCA Modifieds, Street Stocks, 4-Bee's, and the Womens. On Sunday the 4th there will be an open practice along with the 300-Lap Iron Man Enduro Series.

I've spotted Endermen far off in the distance, and they haven't appeared to notice my gaze. Within what range will they react to me? Does draw distance affect this range in any way?
According to the wiki, the range is 64 meters.
I spent a night on top of a town church and antagonised all the Endermen I could see. I could get them to look at me no matter how far away they spawned, though getting the crosshair exactly over them at extreme distances was actually hard and took a few tries to get their attention.
Though it's not an exact number obviously, I can attest that Endermen will notice you looking at them from several chunks away.
The reason they seem to not notice you is because the place you need to look at them is about half a block above their head. I assume this bug will be fixed in a later patch.
As long as the Enderman is visible on your crosshair while on a generated chunk he will stare back at you.
Monster can see you if you are within 16 blocks from them, even through walls. Enderman will remain passive until you stare directly at them, which means when your cross-hair (+) is on it.
All AI have a range of 16 blocks.. The two exceptions to that are Ghasts and Endermen.
As far as I can tell,
So, I will post a new video hopefully tonight, but every time I tried to get a new video, it started raining on me or I would spend an entire night and not have a single enderman spawn.
Here is what I have found that is muddying up this discussion however. You do not stare At the body of the enderman to anger it.. You actually need to stare a bit over its head. This is less apparent at farther ranges but ended up being what I found out last night then had verified by other sources.
EDIT: Aside from the striking out section, here is the video as promised:

On Google, if you search for "chana dal recipe," in the middle of the search results page you'll see one search result with an image of the meal, taken from the underlying web page. It's the only one.
My Questions:
Did Google someone magically isolate the one image on the web page which summarized the recipe?
Did the Webmaster/Page author somehow designate and promote that particular image so that Google would inline it in the search results?

Unanswered: Grid Column Click Event Prioritization
I have an ExtJs 4 application that has 3 views on a webpage:
* Search Criteria
* Search Results
* Secondary(?) Results
User enters search criteria and clicks Find pushbutton. Search Results grid (paged) is populated. Clicking on a Search Results row populates Secondary Results grid(paged also).
One of the columns in Search Results grid is actually a hyperlink.
If I click in a non-link column, I want the Secondary Results to populate as it currently does; however, if I click in the link column, I want to go to the linked page WITHOUT populating the Secondary Results grid.
Is is possible to setup prioritized events such that clicking a link column takes precedence (overrides) the normal event handling for all the other columns?

Dow Drops 42 Points
NEW YORK—Growth-sensitive sectors helped pull major indexes lower, amid worries about Europe and underwhelming data on the U.S. economy.
The Dow Jones Industrial Average declined 42.47 points, or 0.3%, to 13944.05, further retreating from multiyear highs hit Feb. 1.
The Standard & Poor's 500-stock index tilted lower by 2.73 points, or 0.2%, to 1509.39. The materials and energy sectors—all considered closely tied to global growth—were the biggest decliners. The Nasdaq Composite Index declined 3.34 points, or 0.1%, to 3165.13.
Still, stocks closed well above their lows for the day. The blue chips fell as much as 134 points before later recouping some of their losses. Thursday was the fourth trading session out of five in February in which the Dow industrials had triple-digit swings intraday.
"There's a lot of crosscurrents" in the stock market, said Craig Hodges, portfolio manager with Hodges Funds, which oversees about $1 billion. "We're probably due for a little bit of a setback."
In the U.S., jobless claims declined in the latest week to 366,000. While that was more claims than the 360,000 expected, the four-week moving average of initial claims, which smooths out week-to-week volatility, fell to levels not seen since 2008.
"The bulls and bears can both pull something out of it," said Uri Landesman, president of $1.1 billion hedge fund Platinum Partners.
The first read of fourth-quarter productivity showed a decline of 2% on the quarter, a bigger drop than the 1.6% expected. Unit labor costs rose 4.5%, more than the 3.2% gain expected.
Consumer credit for December expanded by $14.6 billion on the month, more than the $13 billion expected.
European markets closed broadly lower after European Central Bank President Mario Draghi spoke to the press, addressing recent gains in the euro that he said could keep a damper on inflation. The ECB left key interest rates unchanged, as widely expected. The Stoxx Europe 600 lost 0.2%.
In corporate news, US Airways Group rallied after The Wall Street Journal reported that the airline and American Airlines parent AMR are working out details of a merger agreement. The combination would get American out of bankruptcy, and create the world's largest airline.
Apple AAPL -0.12 % shares advanced after hedge-fund manager David Einhorn urged shareholders to vote against a company proposal that would eliminate the technology giant's preferred stock. His firm, Greenlight Capital, said in a statement that Mr. Einhorn had been having discussions with the company and was unhappy with its use of capital.
In Asia, Japan's Nikkei Stock Average fell 0.9%, pulling back from Wednesday's 3.8% surge, amid a sharp drop in Nikon shares following disappointing quarterly results. China's Shanghai Composite slipped 0.7% to snap an eight-session win streak.
Crude-oil futures declined 0.8% to settle at $95.83 a barrel, while front-month February gold futures edged down 0.4% to settle at $1,670.40 a troy ounce. The dollar gained sharply against the euro on Mr. Draghi's comments, and edged higher against the yen. Yields on the benchmark 10-year U.S. Treasury bond fell to 1.951% as prices rose.
In other corporate news, Sprint Nextel S 2.33 % fell after the wireless carrier reported a narrower-than-expected loss, but higher-than-forecast net customer losses.
Lazard LAZ 3.59 % gained after the midsize investment bank beat Wall Street estimates for its fourth-quarter revenue and earnings.
Three-dimensional printer maker ExOne jumped in its public trading debut, amid healthy investor appetite for three-dimensional-printer shares.
Ann, the owner of the Ann Taylor clothing brand, slid after the retailer cut its fiscal-year 2012 guidance.
Green Mountain Coffee Roasters slumped after the company's fiscal first-quarter earnings topped estimates, but its second-quarter sales growth outlook was below current projections.
Akamai Technologies AKAM -0.32 % plummeted after the Internet technology company's fourth-quarter revenue missed expectations, offsetting a slight beat in earnings and a $150 million extension of its stock repurchase program.
DeVry DV 0.72 % leapt after the for-profit education company reported fiscal second-quarter earnings that were well above forecasts and revenue that declined less than expected.
Limited Brands fell after the apparel retailer reported January same-store sales that rose above expectations, but kept its fiscal fourth-quarter earnings estimate unchanged.
Caesars Entertainment and fellow casino operator Boyd Gaming BYD -0.46 % jumped after New Jersey Governor Chris Christie said he would support a law to legalize online gambling in the state if it were revised by the legislature.

Volunteer Update. Dust-Up at Llainfadyn Cottage
28 April 2016,
Don't worry no violence was involved. It was the turn of Llainfadyn this week, our quarrymen's cottage from Gwynedd, to receive a clean and make over from our Historic Interior and Conservation Volunteer team. It was a big task so thanks to everyone involved. This included stripping the beds and giving everything including the feather mattresses a good airing and beating to remove a winters worth of dust and dirt. As long as the textiles are strong enough this is still a very effective method of removing grime without the aid of modern appliances.
We also held a competition between a modern broom and a traditional one made from hazel twigs (that all important witches' accessory at Halloween). To help protect the collections on display it's important we try and reduce the amount of dust and dirt being brought into the houses by our thousands of visitors each year. Our first line of defence to achieve this is the cobbles outside, these help dislodge the grit and dirt from peoples' shoes before they even enter the building, but for these to work the cobbles need to be clean and not clogged up with dirt. So one of our first important tasks was to clean the stones outside.
So which broom won? The traditional of course, with its long twiggy brush it was the best at dislodging the dirt from between the cobbles. This job would certainly have been an everyday task for most households in the past.
Our second line of defence to keep the dust down is the rag rug, often found in cottages of this period. These were made from scraps of material or worn out clothes and blankets, so as well as providing much needed comfort and colour they were great at trapping dirt. They could then be picked up, taken outside and beaten with a carpet beater to remove the grime. We are currently making one for Llainfadyn, unfortunately the odd hail storm meant that Jane and Emma had to find seats by the open fire to carry on their work.
