I.e. do really only I have the private key or do I have to trust that StartSSL (or any other provider) don't store it themselves?
I must admit I haven't tried StartSSL, but its FAQ suggests multiple mode of key generations for applying for a certificate. This may depend on the type of certificate.
The "Wizard" mode (FAQ#43) visibly generates the key pair on the server side. Although FAQ#44 assures you that they don't keep it, you're entitled to be suspicious. This isn't considered great practice, but this is probably for convenience.
Alternative methods normally used by CAs consist of generating a key pair on the user's machine and submitting only the public key as part of a Certificate Signing Request (CSR). A number of tools will let you save a CSR. This can also be done manually using OpenSSL, for example. In addition, a key-pair can also be generated in the browser (which will not send the private key out) and a CSR (or equivalent, e.g. SPKAC or CMRF).
The wording of some other questions is a bit confusing, but it suggests they can accept CSR or SPKAC requests.
FAQ#33 says "I created a private key instead of submitting my certificate request (CSR) for IIS server". Opposing creating a private key to submitting a CSR is a bit confusing, because you'd create a private key to create the CSR anyway. From the answer, it appears that you the private key has to be known at some stage by the StartSSL server ("Login to the StartSSL™ Control Panel and click on the "Tool Box" tab. Select "Create PFX File" and submit the encrypted private key, certificate and your password for the key."), which isn't great practice.
However, FAQ#51 "Can I submit a certificate request (CSR) for client certificates (S/MIME)?" seems to suggest it's also possible to do this without StartSSL needing to know the private key. ("The private key and certificate request are generated by either using the tag (Firefox) or activeX control (Internet Explorer)".) The limitations they impose in their answer is somewhat artificial. There's no reason in principle why one mode of application would be tied to a usage purpose for the resulting certificate.
Regarding one of your comments:
Like many, you're confusing PKI and SSL/TLS.
I'm not a massive fan of the PKI model myself, because of its imperfections, but thinking that making everyone use a Web-of-Trust model (a la PGP) is sufficient to improve things is somewhat candid.
By using a WoT model, you may indeed have a less centralised system (which sounds good), but that makes the whole system far more complex, and much more difficult to think of, especially for users who "just want it to work". The difficulty mainly comes from the fact that each node in your WoT need to be trusted for two different things: (a) who they are and (b) their ability to verify who their next node is.
Trusting someone's identity is one thing, but trusting their ability (training and integrity) to do something opens a completely different dimension. If you consider that big CAs, whose job it is to verify others' identity, can sometimes have difficulties doing so, expecting that from all members of your WoT seems rather ambitious. Even if you wanted to restrict certain abilities to certain members, modelling those rules would itself be difficult.
I use StartSSL and any time I want a new certificate I generate a Certificate Signing Request (CSR):
This generates a private key as well.
Then in StartSSL's control panel you skip generating the private key (button labeled "Skip »»") and submit the generated CSR instead on the next page. StartSSL will get the public key from the CSR (and ignore all the other information).
Using this procedure StartSSL will not get the private key, because it is not part of the CSR.
It's serversided and you don't have 100% assurance that they don't store your private key. It's as simple as that, you have to trust them, if you don't trust them you have to go elsewhere, but the problem will exist there as well.

Rusted Car Rehab: Rust TreatmentWritten by John McGann on October 9, 2012
So often, we staffers hear stories of a rusted car languishing in barns or rotting away in fields while their owners swear they will restore it one of these days. More often than not, "one of these days" never comes, and the rusted car sinks further into oblivion. Restoring a rusted car is hard work, takes a lot of time, and is very expensive. Maybe you have just such a car in your garage/barn/field, and you don't have the resources to do a proper restoration. If so, follow our formula to kill the rust and keep the car in good shape until you can afford to do the whole job. You'd be surprised by how much you can accomplish with a gallon of good primer and a couple cans of spray paint.
Rust Treatment and Primer
Sanding the rusted car got rid of the surface rust, but we needed to coat the surface with some sort of rust treatment. We've tried several available on the market and really like Eastwood's Rust Encapsulator. It penetrates deep into rusty surfaces, dries quickly, and is compatible with body filler and most urethane primers and paint. In short, it is a good foundation coating for bare metal. You can brush it on, use a roller, or spray it. It is also available in aerosol cans. Rather than spot-treating individual rusty areas on the truck, we decided to spray the whole thing with this stuff using our DeVilbiss Starting Line gun set up with a 1.3 fluid tip and 27 psi dialed into the inlet regulator. It took about a quarter-gallon to cover the truck with two coats. Prior to application, we wiped the surface with Eastwood's PRE paint prep. We have it in a gallon container, but you might only need a couple of aerosol cans. Rust Encapsulator dries quickly to a rich, semi-gloss black color. We were tempted to leave the truck wearing only this product, but because it is a one-component coating (meaning it dries in the air rather than needing to be mixed with an activator or hardener), it is not a durable topcoat and isn't intended to be. It can easily be removed with solvents such as gasoline or paint thinner, so it works best as a foundation for primer and paint.
Eastwood recommends letting Rust Encapsulator dry for eight hours prior to topcoating. We let it dry overnight before spraying the truck with PCL's black PolyPrimer. The setup on our spray gun was the same—1.3 fluid tip, 27 psi inlet pressure—and it took about two-thirds of a gallon to cover the truck in PCL's recommended process of a light mist coat followed by two medium coats with 15 minutes flash time between the last two coats. This is a two-component coating, meaning it requires an activator or hardener for this product to cure. That's what's in the little squeeze bottle next to the gallon can in the inset photo. Two component coatings are generally weatherproof and will therefore protect your car from the elements. PCL's PolyPrimer is available in a variety of colors from white to gray to red oxide. We like black and will leave the truck like this for a while.
Rust Treatment & Minor Fixes
How I Spent My Long Weekend
Compared to what we started with, the end result looks pretty good, and we really did accomplish the whole job over a long weekend, starting on a Thursday night after work, and working steadily through until Sunday. No all nighters were necessary, either. I think the latest I worked on it was 9 p.m., one night.
We pulled this off for a decent price, too. If you count only the Rust Encapsulator, paint and primer work, the total is about $1,000, and that price includes just about everything, including mixing cups, lacquer thinner, tape, and masking paper. So what did we get for our time and money? No, our project isn't a show-stopper, but we didn't waste any time or materials. Any future bodywork can be done on top of the primer we just sprayed. Or, if we want this to be the permanent look, we could just spray a clear coat right over the primer and call this thing done. Either way, we kept another piece of vintage iron from rotting away due to neglect.

Here is the subject of our recent transformation on the day we bought it on Craigslist. We know weathered patina is all the rage these days, but not all patina is cool, and this '67 C-10 was just ugly. By the way, don't worry about us becoming Truck Craft—that's not gonna happen. It was just a coincidence that this truck needed work at the same time this article needed to be written.Our C-10 is relatively straight and mostly solid. It had a couple of rust-through spots on the floor, and the whole thing was covered with an unsightly case of surface rust sprouting up through an aging, white re-spray over its original medium-blue paint. While we bought this truck as a parts hauler, we didn't want it to rust away, so we decided to kill the rust but in a way that minimized down time. We began by sanding all the visible rust with a 40-grit 3M Hookit (Velcro backed) sanding disc on our trusty Makita rotary buffer.We followed up with 3M 150-Grit Stick-It (adhesive-backed) discs on an Igersoll-Rand dual-action (DA) sander we bought on eBay for $27. Don't get crazy with the DA—you don't need to sand the car down to bare metal, but just smooth out the rough scratches left by the 40-grit paper.Within a few hours, we had the whole truck scuffed and ready for paint. When buying materials, get an entire roll of DA sanding discs—you will use most of them.Also, buy a roll of 2 3⁄4-inch-wide, adhesive-backed, 150-grit sandpaper. While you should be able to reach most areas with the DA sander, you will have to manually sand the hard-to-reach places. We used a flexible sanding block available from the Eastwood Company.While removing the grille trim, headlight, bezels, and turn-signal lenses, we decided to pull the bumper off as well. Normally, this is an awkward proposition, especially when working by yourself, but we used our Door & Bumper Dolly made by Champ Tools and sold through Auto Body Toolmart. It is height-adjustable, can be raised or lowered using the crank, and made removing the bumper surprisingly easy.Flat black is cool, but for the long-term, we thought it would be nice to make it look a little more finished, so we decided to paint the grille and roof with satin-white Rust-Oleum, mimicking a two-tone look available from the factory. To mask the front of the truck, we used fine-line tape (bright green in the photo) to form the line we wanted to separate the white paint from the black primer, then stuck the painters' plastic to it with it with 3⁄4-inch masking tape. We sprayed the grille area first with about two coats of Rust-Oleum, then repeated the process on the roof.We used two full cans of Rust-Oleum to cover these areas and wished we had bought one more can, because we barely got the roof covered before running out of paint. The Rust-Oleum took a little longer to dry than the Rust Encapsulator and primer. Give it some extra time, and be sure it is only slightly tacky before pulling off the tape.Our front bumper was especially crusty and had a big dent off-center, toward the driver side. To fix it, we first sanded the crap out of it with a grinder then thoroughly by hand with 150-grit paper. Next, we laid it face down on a pair of wood blocks, with one block being directly under the dent. Hammering the dent from the back side onto a relatively soft surface like wood will help shape the bumper into something more closely resembling how it should look. Bumpers are made with much-thicker-gauge steel than the rest of the body, and our 3-pound sledgehammer barely made an impression on it. We had to heat the area with our acetylene torch, after which we were able to pound out the dent to the best of our ability. It's still there, but it is better than before.
The impact that dented the face of the bumper also caused the top edge to curl both up and down on either side of the dent. Fixing this required clamping the bumper in our bench vise, prying up where the bumper was low, and pushing down on it where the bumper was high.Laugh all you want, but this worked, and the top edge of the bumper is almost perfectly straight. (It would have worked better if your author were a little heavier!)While we were at it, we decided to fix one of the areas where the floor had rusted through on the passenger side near the bottom of the A-pillar. We marked the section to cut out using a multi-angle straightedge we had purchased from Harbor Freight. Straight lines are easier to cut and easier to fit for patch panels.We cut the floor section with a die grinder and cleaned the edges with a Roloc Scotch-Brite disc on an angle grinder.We transferred the shape of the patch panel onto a piece of 18-gauge mild steel we purchased from the remnant pile of our local metal supply store. To cut the new panel, we used Harbor Freight's pneumatic nibbler.Our measurements were really close, and our patch panel only needed minor trimming with hand shears to fit snugly with the edges butted up to the truck's floorpan.We made a second patch to repair the damaged section of the doorsill and set them in place with holding magnets. They are now ready to be welded in.Using our Millermatic 211 MIG welder, we stitch-welded the patch panels in place. It was difficult because the surrounding sections of the floor were also rusty (especially on the back side, where access was limited), and the rust contaminates the weld, causing extra sparks and some blowback through the weld puddle.In addition to contaminating the weld, the floor surrounding our patch panels may have varied wildly in thickness, depending on how much it had rusted. Look at the difference in thickness just in this small section of the truck's floor. What is normal 18-gauge steel in some areas is more like 22- or 24-gauge, rusty steel in others. The settings required to weld 18-gauge steel burned right through the floorpan in several areas, and we had to turn the voltage down on our welder to compensate.
While it would have been more proper to buy a new floorpan and doorsills, we didn't have the budget so had to make do with our homemade patch panels. In the end, this repair is sound (though this photo was taken before all the welding was finished), and, best of all, it was a lot less expensive than buying replacement sheetmetal.If you're unsure about tackling a panel replacement right away but need a temporary fix for rusted metal, try All-Metal body filler. It's like Bondo on steroids and actually has aluminum flakes suspended within the filler substrate. On Eastwood's website, it's recommended for use on damaged or rotted out sections of metal and is described as a safer alternative to lead filler. Be sure to clean all the excess rust from the area and treat with a rust converter first. Mix the All-Metal with its hardener, just as you would with regular body filler. Apply it with a spreader and allow it to dry before sanding it smooth. We've used this before and can attest to its strength. This is tough stuff and takes forever to sand. Get the 40-grit (or even 36-grit!) paper out for this.After straightening the front bumper the best we could, we sprayed it with two coats of Rust-Oleum silver-metallic wheel paint. It doesn't look as gaudy as it sounds, and the finish looks kinda like chrome if you squint a little. We also painted the grille-surround trim with the stuff and were pleased with the results. Putting the trim back on was one of the few hassles we ran into this weekend. These trim clips love to break and laugh at you as you try to reassemble them. We managed to salvage enough of them in working order to secure the grille surrounds in place. New replacements are available from companies like Goodmark, Classic Industries, and Brothers truck parts.

Do I have wireless internet on the main Peru bus companies, such as Cruz del Sur, Ormeño or Oltursa ?
That would be nice since my bus trips usually last around 10 hours
I have called the bus companies and checked some testimonies on web and of my friends regarding the WiFi on this buses. I'm glad to tell you that the 3 of them have the service, however it is not available for all the routes.
Of course the WiFi service is only for the premium tickets so you will have to pay extra and speed is not that great. You have to know that 70% of the internet users here in Peru only have 2Mb... so it is going to be slow and possibly get disconnected during some hours in the trip.
Some of the companies tend to advertise wifi connection onboard, but we encountered the first actually working one in Chile.
I would try to go through the desks of different bus companies in the bus station. If they say that they offer wifi in the bus then give them little bit hard time with questions about it and finally go with the one who sounds most believable. After that its just testing but don't expect too much.

Suppose we have $(\mathbb{C},+)$ and $i\mathbb{R}$. Since $(\mathbb{C},+)$ is abelian , we know that $i\mathbb{R}$ is a normal subgroup. Consider quotient group $(\mathbb{C},+)/{i\mathbb{R}}$. Then the set is $\lbrace[a+bi] |a,b \in \mathbb{R} \rbrace=\lbrace(a+bi)+i\mathbb{R} |a,b \in \mathbb{R} \rbrace$. My question is how do we know the quotient set contain what kind of elements ? In this case, how do we know the set contains equvalence classes of complex numbers ?
There are several general notations for elements of a quotient group, and several specialized notations for specific cases. There are many groups that have a reasonable claim to be called a quotient group of $\mathbb{C}$ by $\mathbb{i}\mathbb{R}$.
The particular group you write is a rather standard way of selecting a specific quotient of $\mathbb{C}$ by $\mathbb{i}\mathbb{R}$. It also fits into a rather common set-theoretic pattern for constructing interesting structures:
In this case, the information used to specify an element of the quotient group is by writing an element of $\mathbb{C}$ that is to be its pre-image. And so the elements of (the standard choice of) $\mathbb{C} / i \mathbb{R}$ are the cosets of $i \mathbb{R}$ in $\mathbb{C}$.
The answer seems to be: "this is how the quotient group is defined."
If you have doubts whether is definition is meaningful, please present them.

Eric Hobsbawm
From Wikiquote
(Redirected from Hobsbawm, Eric)
Eric John Ernest Hobsbawm, CH (9 June 1917 – 1 October 2012) was a British Marxist historian and author, once the leading theorist of the defunct Communist Party of Great Britain, and former president of Birkbeck College, University of London.
- First, utopianism is probably a necessary social device for generating the superhuman efforts without which no major revolution is achieved.
- (Carmine Crocco) A farm-labourer and cowherd, had joined the Bourbon army, killed a comrade in a brawl, deserted and lived as an outlaw for ten years. He joined the liberal insurgents in 1860 in the hope of an amnesty for his past offences, and subsequently became the most formidable guerilla chief and leader of men on the Bourbon side.
- Bandits (Penguin, 1985), p. 25.
- Liberalism was failing. If I'd been German and not a Jew, I could see I might have become a Nazi, a German nationalist. I could see how they'd become passionate about saving the nation. It was a time when you didn't believe there was a future unless the world was fundamentally transformed.
- As quoted by Eric Hobsbawn, in "A Question of Faith," Maya Jaggi, The Guardian (Sept. 14, 2002)
- Xenophobia looks like becoming the mass ideology of the 20th-century fin-de-siecle.
- Divided Europeans: Understanding Ethnicities in Conflict (1999), p. 41.
- Look at London. Of course it matters to all of us that London's economy flourishes. But the test of the enormous wealth generated in patches of the capital is not that it contributed 20%-30% to Britain's GDP but how it affects the lives of the millions who live and work there. What kind of lives are available to them? Can they afford to live there? If they can't, it is not compensation that London is also a paradise for the ultra-rich. Can they get decently paid jobs or jobs at all? If they can't, don't brag about all those Michelin-starred restaurants and their self-dramatising chefs. Or schooling for children? Inadequate schools are not offset by the fact that London universities could field a football team of Nobel prize winners.
- The Guardian (2009).
- As the global expansion of Indian and Chinese restaurants suggests, xenophobia is directed against foreign people, not foreign cultural imports.

- [N]o serious historian of nations and nationalism can be a committed political nationalist... Nationalism requires too much belief in what is patently not so.
- Nations and Nationalism since 1780: Programme, Myth, Reality (Cambridge University Press, 2nd ed. 2012), p. 12.
- Nevertheless it is evident — if only from the Greek example just cited — that proto-nationalism, where it existed, made the task of nationalism easier, however great the differences between the two, insofar as existing symbols and sentiments of proto-national community could he mobilized behind a modern cause or a modern state. But this is far from saying that the two were the same, or even that one must logically or inevitably lead into the other. For it is evident that proto-nationalism alone is clearly not enough to form nationalities, nations, let alone states.

- However, mass expulsion and even genocide began to make their appearance on the southern margins of Europe during and after World War I, as the Turks set about the mass extirpation of the Armenians in 1915 and, after the Greco Turkish war of 1911, expelled between 1.3 and 1.5 millions of Greeks from Asia Minor, where they had lived since the days of Homer.1 Subsequently Adolph Hitler, who was in this respect a logical Wilsonian nationalist, arranged to transfer Germans not living on the territory of the fatherland, such as those of Italian South Tyrol, to Germany itself, as he also arranged for the permanent elimination of the Jews.

I understand that this post may cause some down votes because it seems a bit off-topic, but having seen the discussions on Christmas Tree with LaTeX I am still willing to try.
My Girlfriend's birthday is coming (OK, actually less than 12 hrs!).
I would like to write her a little love note. Both of us have just started our PhD. So I suddenly come up with this idea of drawing a red cute love heart to her using LaTeX. It must be of a lot of fun!
Come on, TeX geeks and gurus, we do understand love! :D

However, I have great hope for our community. Not just Bastrop, for Bastrop was always dependent upon the surrounding area, but for the South in general. Our climate, resources in labor, minerals, water and transportation will make this part of the world a greater place to live.
So, while forlornly look upon the last destruction of the paper mill that made this community such a great place, I am reminded of the words that "hope dies last." We do not need hope. We do not need a hand out or charity. We just need someone that will take what we have and put on the market.
We can live with the fact that people that want to be President now speak in Spanish. The world is changing around us, yet we are unable to change. We do not have a paper mill, but it was not because we did not have enough Spanish speaking people. Uncertainty is the only thing that we can depend upon to be an absolute. A bleak future, while better than non, is about all we can depend upon.
Yet, there is a chance that our natural resources, the one thing that has kept industry coming back to this area, may yet hold surprises. There may be a chance that we are sitting upon a huge amount of oil, deep and dark but there, and it is all about the money. We shall see and only time will tell.

I remember an episode of Moonlighting that was very fantastic, but I am not sure that it exists because everytime I search it I find nothing. Maybe I am wrong about it.
The Story was that as I remember is:
David was bored his role in Moonlighting, so he quits it. He is gone but changes his mind and attempts to return. However the producers have announced that his role is open and are looking for new talent for it. David is forced to go to end of the application queue that was very long.
Does anyone you remember any episode like that, or it was a game of my childhood memory?

1952 Ford F1 Gets A Pontiac Dash- Dashing DebonairWritten by on March 1, 2009 Upgrading A Stock Dash
It's not uncommon in our hobby to see a car that has been customized to such an extent that it makes it quite hard for not only the newcomer but even the seasoned hot rodding veteran to discern the model, year, or even the make of a hot rod or custom. This can be traced back to the earliest days of hot rodding, when guys were swapping out items on their stock roadsters, coupes, or sedans in favor of more modern conveyances. This act of updating, as it were, continues today in the guise of dropping in the latest Detroit has to offer in drivetrain and suspension components as well as using original parts from the past to customize our rides in order to satisfy our desire to set them apart from the pack. While some upgrades, such as the aforementioned drivetrain and suspension components, are due to our desire to make our hot rods a little more user-friendly in a contemporary environment, some are made to make our cars even more retro, as it were. Things like disc brakes, EFI systems, and overdrive transmissions arguably make sense, but when it comes to the aesthetic side of customization, sometimes looking to the past answers all the questions.
This has proven to be very true in the '52 Ford F1 pickup that I've been building over the last year or so. If you've kept up with SRM lately, you might recall the Hemi build up I did as well as the T5 transmission story we ran a few months prior. That's the traditional drive train that will inevitably power the hauler, but complementing the old parts are a few modern additions in the form of a new Currie nine-inch rearend with disc brakes and the Total Cost Involved Mustang II IFS installed up front. The goal is to have a truck that will appeal to the traditional aesthetic that I love and will perform in a contemporary, real world application.
With that traditional aesthetic in mind, I was recently looking over the cockpit confines of the stock F1 and realized that the dash was lacking that '50s flair that I wanted. Consisting of two 4 1/2-inch round gauges and a minimal amount of chrome trim, it just didn't have that '50s custom look. With that said, I started scouring the swap meets and the internet in search of something a bit classier to slide into its place. What I found was a dash out of a '52 Pontiac passenger car that incorporated not only a liberal amount of chrome, but had a gauge cluster that would allow Classic Instruments to restore it complete with volt meter, fuel gauge, speedo, oil pressure, and water temperature gauges all incorporated in the same cluster. The price was right and the specs were met, and soon I found myself trying to fit the wide dash into the narrow confines of the pickup cab.
Fitting a dash from a larger passenger car into a pickup or a roadster is not without its share of headaches, but with a little patience and perseverance, any dash can be trimmed and shoehorned to fit just about anything. One thing to be careful of is trimming too much of the original dash and surrounding area before the new dash can be mocked up into place. This can result in more work than necessary and will compound any problems that may arise. But by going slow, measuring twice and cutting once, it's easy to fit any dash into your ride, instantly transforming a stock hauler to a custom, all in a day's work.
More Photos From This Article View Slideshow
For reference, here's our Pontiac dash in its original guise. Note the healthy use of chrome and other goodies more associated with cars of the '50s than what's typically found in pickups of the era.Here's the '52 Pontiac dash fresh from the Pomona swap meet with all the stock bits still intact. The first step is to gut the dash and send out the gauge cluster and clock to Classic Instruments, where they'll be giving it a complete restoration (Keep your eyes peeled in further issues of SRM).With the Pontiac dash being dismantled, our attention turned to the F1 cab, where we marked the area to be cut out with masking tape.The stock dash was removed, except for the support brace that runs along the bottom of the dash. It seemed like a good idea to leave that intact for the time being in case we wanted to tie in the new dash to the support to ensure everything stays nice and stiff.While there was room to work, we mocked up the Vintage Air GEN-II Compac evaporator unit and checked to see if there was going to be any interference.The '52 Pontiac that donated the dash is a bit wider than the pickup cab, and with the dash mocked in place, it was obvious some trimming would be in order.
Once the dash was cut apart, it was time to narrow it those 3-inches mentioned before. A file and a straight edge gets the gap as straight as possible before the two halves are welded back together, albeit 3-inches narrower.Compare the relation between the radio bezel and the glove box in this photo to that of the original dash and you get an idea of just how much was taken out to get the dash to fit.With the dash narrowed, we mocked it into place and began fitting it into position. This gave us a better idea of how the new dash would fit and allowed us to trim the stock dash area further.The next step was to begin attaching the dash to the cowl of the F1. It was first tacked along the top before the lower bracing structure was tied into the a-pillars. Once in place, we threw the dash back together and slid the seat in to see how everything was going to look from the driver's perspective. Then it was time to find out if anything was crooked or tilted too far one way or another. Everything checked out, so on we went.The passenger side of the dash looked the simplest, so we started there by making a cardboard template of the area between the dash and a-pillar that needed to be filled.
A peak through the glove box door reveals the Vintage Air evaporator unit we mocked up earlier. We chose to mount it nice and high and out of sight, sacrificing the glove box as a result. We wanted to maintain an original, '50s-era aesthetic to the interior, so the Vintage Air evaporator unit was mounted nice and high in the dash, sacrificing the glove box in the process.On the driver's side, you can see that there's a bit more empty space to fill than there was on the passenger's side.As luck would have it, however, the strip we took out of the dash when it was narrowed was just right to fill the void and allowed us to maintain the ashtray, giving us a small storage space for fuses, spare change, or candy (Brennan).With the end cap tacked into place, a few relief cuts were made to form the compound curve necessary to meet the end cap.Those relief cuts were then welded up and a bit of hammer and dolly work was used to get the corner just right. A final patch panel was then made and tacked into place to finish up the area.
To grind the welds, we used a die grinder with a cut-off wheel to get them fairly flat (a little secret shared by our buddy Cal Tanaka) before sanding them nice and smooth with a 120-grit sanding disc.

Some things that would help out is change shocks both front to 160 or 170 or even 180 36 and back to a 2.25 stroke. The angle set would work also, just red an article on the reign and cane creek angle set headset. Shorter stem with wider bars is an other option. Maybe some others can help also.

I would like to create VirtualBox VMs which are entirely contained in a single directory (including various aspects that are normally kept in a configuration in the ~/ directory).
The idea is to remotely mount the directory and run the VM on that machine, or carry a VM on a stick or SD card.
I'm particularly bother because I notice that VirtualBox tends to spread these things around.

So if you only have 9 series no error but if you add a 10th then you get an error? Kind of an odd one. Development has moved on to Sencha Touch 2.1 where the charts are included so any bug in the Touch Charts for ST1 will not be fixed.Mitchell Simoens @LikelyMitch

Thanks for the reply.
I feel the error was basically with the color code or style to be used.
If you see in bar chart if i have more than nine bars it works , but only thing is after the ninth bar the color of the bar starts repeating again which is kind of confusing. So no unique color for each item.
bar chart.png
But for line or scatter chart it just stops working if there are more than nine series items.
Is there any way to select random colors in bar chart instead of repetitive coloring

Thanks for this video. It helped me understand how windows manages threads that I program in my apps. Great video. Keep it up.

2) There is no one-one mapping between work items and threads. Work queues and the threadpool try to manage the number of threads based on the workload / CPU availability. For example, the Vista threadpool tries to keep # CPU threads running, but will throttle threads back when it detects this number has been exceeded. Additional threads are created as needed in this range; the excess work items accumulate and are serviced by threads as they become available.
3) It depends on your application. If it is a piece of code you just want to execute asynchronously, threadpool provides an efficient and simple means of accomplishing this. It does, however, introduce additional overhead. In other cases, you may need a dedicated thread for a task whose operation / life cycle you may need finer grained control over.
Great and detailed on Porcess/Thread. I have been using threads in user mode and it is nice to know more about the implementation of process/thread in O/S. I am not sure if I understand 100% about the subject(s) (I probably need to revisit the clip again). One thing I don't get it is system process (pid = 4) and system idle process. How they are related and who got created first?
This was great. I had been wondering how this worked for quite some time.

Hi Arun,
Great video!!
I would like some clarifications on Terminate and SuspendThread - specifically when thread is executing in kernel.

Thats a great price for cast iron, isnt it? My wife wants some cast iron pans. Maybe this would be good. Can anyone tell me how much a difference there is from one brand to another?
This deal is cheaper, no coupon code, and free shipping, so it's a little better than the last one.
Relevant comment: pan sizes are 6.5", 8", and 10.5"
this is a GREAT deal! thank you for sharing!
@bobobublz: That's why I said this deal was a little more weeks ago the last time it was posted. I added the link so you can review the comments from the last, slightly more expensive deal. I see how my wording could be confusing, sorry.
@jgarcia408: Yes, this is a very good deal for cast iron. The biggest problem with the set is the lacking of the woot! exclamation point on the skillet. Other then that its a great deal!
I picked these up a few weeks ago when they were last up. Just be forewarned that they are not, in fact, pre-seasoned (or at least mine weren't). I fried an egg in the 6" as a sort of test and it stuck very badly.
I had a similar experience as fropones. They will have to be seasoned. I would also like to add that these pans are pretty small and are good for maybe just cooking something up for an individual. Lastly, the price may reflect the quality, these are made in China and who knows what kind of impurities may be melded into the iron, these could potentially leech into your food along with the iron. Although, I haven't lost any teeth yet or suffered mercury poisoning so maybe these are ok.

I have a large chunk of beef liver, too much to eat in one sitting. I would prefer to cook it all up at once, but would it be palatable reheated? Would it be ok cold?
With liver I'd say there isn't much point in reheating it as it'll cook in about the same time if you cut it thinly. You could eat it cold but whether you'd like it is a matter of personal taste.
I hate to waste food and I always have too much liver. I use beef broth or bouillon so the liver does not dry out or get tough.
To reheat:
Serve onions over liver strips.
Palatability is largely a matter of taste...
Seriously, it will likely depend upon your cooking method. If you are cooking short high-heat, then reheating may well not work as well, as it will cook further and would likely become tough.
If you originally cooked in some kind of braising sauce, you are probably just fine to gently reheat, as the liquid should help to keep it tender.
Cold - mostly a matter of preference. OK for me might not be OK for you.
Ok, I looked at the answers and thought about how to try it. My 96 year old father said it was too tough when I reheated it the first time. Like everyone else I had too much left over. I sauteed more onions until they were almost burnt. I then cut the heat off and place a piece of liver that I had in the fridge, covered it with the onions and put a lid on it and let it sit for about 10 minutes on the off electric burner.
It was not super hot but he enjoyed it almost as if it was freshly cooked. Not tough at all. I can not eat it because of gout. Oh, I am just learning to cook at 66 years old.

WACO (November 16, 2012)--Police were investigating Friday morning after someone broke into the Humane Society of Central Texas overnight and vandalized the facility.
At first officers thought some animals had been turned loose, but by mid-morning a spokesman for the facility said all the animals had been accounted for.
Shelter director Don Bland said burglars evidently climbed one of the fences and cut a window screen to gain access to the building and left the inside a ""big mess."
Bland said employees and volunteers worked to repair the damage and clean the facility Friday morning.
Bland said, the burglars attempted to steal some items from the building, but as they left a Waco police Animal Control Officer was dropping off an animal and likely scared the intruders off.
The facility keeps between 135 and 200 animals on site every day, Bland said, which amounts to about 80 percent of capacity.
Several other animals are in foster care off site, he said.
The City of Waco will take over operation of the shelter on Dec. 1 after a City Council vote last week that authorized City Manager Larry Groth to negotiate an agreement under which the city would run the kennels and the Humane Society would be responsible for adoption and redemption of animals.
The city was initially poised to take over the shelter at the end of September and to operate it as a holding facility where animals unclaimed after three days would either be transferred to other shelters or euthanized.
Animal advocates pushed back, however, arguing the so-called 72-hour rule could lead to mass euthanasia.
The city postponed the takeover to come up with the plan that goes into effect next month.

This is a great deal, finally a speaker system for all us non-sheeple users!
FYI - It's $80 on Amazon.
The one from Cowboom is a customer return. I have had pretty good luck with the 3 items I purchased from them. Kept 2 and no hassle return for one.
@barrywilliams991: Cowboom item description says "new". It is NIB. I have bought other "new" items from them before and they all came brand new in box (no returns).
I have one, it works great. The only thing that's a bummer is that since I have a RAZR, the plugs are on the top and the screen doesn't flip over when plugging it in. I guess there's an app to flip it completely over but its manual operation. All other phones with ports on the side or bottom will work fine with it. And the cool part is you can unplug the phone from it and since its Bluetooth the music keeps on playing. Oh also it works on batteries alone but won't charge your phone when on batteries, you have to use the AC adapter to use the charger feature.
Sold out! :(

insert here
I had planned to do this:
I am thinking that it's too much, too fussy. The chevrons are too fussy, the double godets are too fussy. Always ready for these Kinds of challenges, Margery grabs the godet (ok, nicely takes the godet from my hands) and places it in the opening of a cardigan to see how the proportions work.
I'm in love with the look and knit this:
to be continued…
I love these little insights into your process. Thanks for sharing!June 26, 2008
I am loving this peek into your design process! And at the same time as I look at your sheets feeling ever do disorganized!
As I also watched your latest video slideshow for booklet 279 (keep doing these slide shows they are great) one question kept coming to mind. I was wondering how far ahead do you prepare these designs for the booklets? The way you both spoke of the designs in the slideshow they sounded like, well, old friends!June 27, 2008

I too appreciate insight into your process. I have just received Vol 3 and can not adjust to the round insert into some of the more linear pieces. Feels like a push to insert this circular, fussy piece against a linear, architectural form. Maybe I'm struggling with the weight of the lace motif? It appears stiff (pictorally) and your pieces always have a flow and drape along with complex nuances and demonstrate knitting design 'riffs' that I've researched and enjoyed for years. But I respect to each their own taste and design process. Maybe if I could touch it or see it in action? Ah, yes, the video slideshow – haven't checked that out yet….that would probably help me.
Your designs always reflect and require a thinking knitter. Thank you for providing that to this art form!June 27, 2008
In our culture people will associate the circular piece hanging below a linear edge as an inspiration from a brassiere. And I'm not sure that there's anything wrong with that! I love the insert & I'm sure the designer, Gautier who did Madonna's sexy bra tops would love it too. Thank you for sharing some of the design process with us. It is so interesting to see!June 27, 2008
Yes Tina – 100% hand knit! I spend my knitting time on the tricky bits and working out pattern stitches.June 28, 2008
Good grief———– Norah that is amazing. I took the afternoon off today (the weather was too splendid not to) and sat on the porch while the dogs played. I sat with "Knitting Nature", this of course means that I have even more respect and awe for you.
Y'know……………"THE" Norah Gaughan!
A friend of mine met you at TNNA and that was the first thing she told me when she got home from her trip! Made me smile!June 30, 2008

I like the godet idea , however the sketch of the double godets reminds me of two low hanging breasts. They're going to get there anyway, no need to emphasize them.
Keep up the good work, I love your original designs.July 28, 2008

Sitting on the floor of her apartment, Nora is completely at ease with her baby girl. She gently slips off braces from Natalia�s feet while still conversing with her nurse partner, Jane Henson. Nora is comfortable in her role as mom and confident in her ability to care for a growing 6-month-old who wears braces 23 hours of every day.
One year ago, Nora was in a different place � pregnant, relatively new to the community and confined to strict bed-rest for almost four months.
Fortunately, her doctor referred her to the Nurse-Family Partnership program at San Juan Basin Health.
�How awesome a nurse comes to my house,� Nora said. �She�s helpful with pregnancy and baby information, but it�s also good to have someone to talk to about how I�m doing and where I�m going.�
Her nurse is Henson, the program supervisor. Henson oversees five other nurses in the program that serves Archuleta, Dolores, La Plata, Montezuma and San Juan counties.
�First-time moms have so many questions about pregnancy, a new baby and being a good parent,� Henson said. �They�re in school or a job or may not be expecting the pregnancy. We don�t have our extended families as close by anymore. Sometimes, we have moms in crisis who don�t have a maternal figure.�
A research-based program, NFP has experienced documented positive outcomes for more than 20 years. The program�s founder, Dr. David Olds, believes the bond created between mom and nurse partner leads to better outcomes: less smoking, increased breast-feeding, less violence in home, changes that improve their life and that of their new child such as pursuing an education or getting a job.
�Giving moms a feeling that they can do it empowers them to be the expert in their own life and make positive life-long changes,� Henson said.
Natalia was born with a club foot. Six weeks later, she had an operation to correct it and now wears braces. Nora was understandably very nervous about the procedures and what her baby would go through.
Henson helped her think about how the child could crawl with braces and be a normal baby. During this visit, Henson answered feeding questions; recommended a doctor visit for suspected thrush; discussed early teeth and gum care; reminded Nora to not let the baby fall asleep with her bottle; weighed Natalia; talked about concept of quiet distraction instead of saying �no� so often; and asked what Nora was doing for herself.
At each bimonthly visit, Henson will provide age-appropriate guidance and resources like Reach Out and Read � a program providing free books and emphasizing reading to babies.
When Natalia turns 2, she and her mom will join other �graduates� of the NFP program.
�It�s so amazing to see young women with few resources and many barriers overcome challenges and come through this program with such success,� Henson said. �They literally do partner with you.�
For information about Nurse-Family Partnership, call Henson at 335-2081 or visit sjbhd.org/nfp.
Jane Looney is the communications director for the San Juan Basin Health Department.

A Dirichlet character is a multiplicative map from (Z/N)* to $S^1$. A Tate character is a continuous map from I/Q to $S^1$, where I is the Idele group of Q. It is always claimed that they are equivalent but I never see a convincing source.
There is something involved called $F^N/P^N$ where $F^N$ is the group of fraction ideals not involving primes dividing $N$ and $P^N$ is the group of fraction ideals generated by $a$ such that a=1 mod N.
I cannot see why a map on $F^N/P^N$ can be associated to a Dirichlet character, either.

Series On Embedded Development (Part 6) - Power Efficiency
By Darryl Mocek on May 15, 2013
Let's not forget efficieny as it pertains to power...important for embedded devices, especially battery powered ones. I mentioned avoiding idle tasks in the last installment and the suggestions here build on that same theme (CPU (therefore power) conservation):
Avoid inefficient polling - inefficient polling will keep the CPU busy and waste power. You should spend time thinking about your polling algorithm and optimize it to reduce CPU usage. Can you poll when the CPU isn't being utilized much?
Avoid idling and block waiting on asynchronous events - these are also things which will consume CPU. Instead of waiting, implement a listener pattern so your application is event-driven.
Provide quiet periods to allow the CPU to sleep - any time the CPU is asleep, power is being conserved.
Don't assume there are multiple CPU cores - coding for multiple cores can place a demand on a single-core machine. Try to code efficiently for the machine you'll be running on.

STEUBENVILLE - City Manager Cathy Davison credits today's technology for her success in balancing her job and her family.
And Davison is expected to explain this week how shared electronic schedules allows her and her husband and their son to keep track of each other and their daily commitments during a Task Force on Women in the Profession meeting at the 2012 ICMA 98th-annual conference in Phoenix.
Davison has been asked to serve on the task force "to review the status of women in the profession and create recommendations and strategies for increasing the presence of women in local government management as ICMA moves into its next 100 years."

READY FOR DISCUSSION — Steubenville City Manager Cathy Davison stands in her City Hall office. Davison will join other city and county women administrators throughout the country during a meeting of the International City/County Management Association Task Force on Women in the Profession this week in Phoenix. -- Dave Gossett
"Women government administrators are in the minority in our country. There are a number of assistant city or county managers who are women. But many women generally don't pursue the manager's job because of the conflicts of their family and career," said Davison during an interview before she left for the week-long conference in Arizona.
Davison said the last task force meeting on women as city and county managers was held in 1975.
"I have been told we will be looking at some of the components of the report that was presented to the ICMA leadership at the 1976 conference. I think it is important for women to recognize the fact they can be government managers and have a family life as well," Davison said.
She also said the task force will consider development of future managers, membership recruitment and retention and changing dynamics of families.
"I can make it work because my husband and I can manage our household. We have today's technology for balancing our lives and for scheduling our lives around our jobs and our family," she noted.
"We actually have an app to show our family schedules. We can look at each other's schedules as well as our son's schedule throughout the day and week. That allows us to keep our family organized and maintain a strong family life," said Davison.
"During my career as a city manager in Steubenville and as the town administrator in Murfreesboro, N.C., I have learned a manager must take care of yourself and your family and also can be a city manager," noted Davison.
She is now completing her third year as Steubenville's city manager and already has agreed to a new three-year contract.
"It is a great honor for me to have been asked to serve on this task force and it is also an honor for our city," said Davison.
"And attending the annual conference allows me to discuss and hear about the latest updates in government finance, recycling programs, town-gown relationships and to learn how other communities approach different issues," stated Davison.
"It is enjoyable to meet with other city and county managers at this level. It is refreshing and educational," she remarked.
And while Davison is in Phoenix this week for the ICMA conference she will be using the technology she is fond of to remain in constant touch with city officials and employees.
"I have encouraged the department heads to call me or send me e-mails. I can sign requisition forms on my iPad. We will have an acting city manager while I am away but I am still very much the manager and will be in regular contact with City Council members as well as administration officials," she said.

- unknown
Description of Incident:
Additional body parts have been recovered from the New River where the head and arms of a young Pompano Beach woman were found on Friday.
At about 5 p.m. Tuesday (1/1/02), a passerby noticed a woman's leg floating in the river near Fort Lauderdale and called 911. BSO deputies responded to the scene and the limb, a woman's right leg, was recovered. Investigators arranged for the BSO Dive Team to muster at Samuel Delevoe Park in the morning to further check the waterway for additional body parts and evidence. As members of the dive team were arriving at the park at 10 a.m. today two passersby observed a torso in the river and alerted the deputies.
The leg and torso were taken to the Broward Medical Examiner's Office. They are presumed to belong to the victim, 22-year-old Marita White of Pompano Beach. The Medical Examiner is expected to conduct additional tests to officially link the parts. The cause of death remains undetermined.
BSO Homicide detectives are asking for help in determining Marita White's most recent whereabouts and in identifying her associates. Anyone with any information is urged to call the Broward Sheriff's Office at (954) 765-4321. Information can be relayed anonymously through CrimeStoppers at (954) 493-TIPS and a reward is available.

Why don't more companies emulate Lincoln Electric?Comments Email Print
That's the question posed in this Motley Fool piece, which notes the maker of welding products on Dec. 14 announced the 2012 bonus for its roughly 3,000 American employees — something it has done for 79 straight years.
The average 2012 bonus was $33,915 per worker, the average employee earned $82,300 (including the bonus), and no one at Lincoln was laid off in 2012, The Fool says.
Since February 2010, Lincoln and its CEO, John Stropki, have been profiled by The Wall Street Journal, NPR, Harvard Business Review and many others.
Despite that exposure, The Fool says, "no one at (Mr. Stopki's) elite level of American business — or lower, for that matter — has asked him a single question about Lincoln Electric's phenomenal track record."
"Why haven't CEOs besieged Stropki by phone or dropped by his Cleveland office?," The Fool asks. "His matter-of-fact answer is that running a company with a no-layoff policy is hard and big firms would have a hard time changing their operating stripes. (So... they don't want to make money decade after decade?)"
The piece concludes that Corporate America "is suffering from a near-criminal lack of imagination. Lincoln Electric presents convincing and reassuring evidence that it is possible to run a very profitable, very large multinational business in North America by respecting your customers, employees, investors, and society at large. All of them."
The structure is "a gateway building with sculptural presence and a flexible curatorial mandate," The Journal says.
Designed by Farshid Moussavi, the MOCA Cleveland building "suggests the simplicity of a cube but is actually more complex, with chamfered edges chiseling a square roof out of a hexagonal base," according to the newspaper. "Its mirror-finish black steel skin reflects every passing cloud, giving the building a mysterious totemlike quality, while inside unfinished ceilings are painted deep blue and almost every space can be used flexibly, whether for exhibiting, performances or local events."
So writes TheAtlanticCities.com in a piece based on data from a recent study by researchers at the University of Tennessee, published in the journal Environmental Research Letters. The study "used a high-resolution climate modeling system to project bad news down to an impressively local level, examining what we might see in the 20 largest cities east of the Mississippi come the late 2050s," according to the website.
The researchers calculated that heat waves in New York City could be 3.58 degrees Celsius hotter in intensity than they are now, with the average one lasting nearly two days longer. Cleveland "has it the worst, with a heat wave temperature increase of 3.71 degrees Celsius," TheAtlanticCities.com notes, followed by Philadelphia (3.69). The researchers "project that heat waves will grow worse particularly across the Northeast and Midwest, bringing the North and South to roughly equal hot-weather fates."
The report found requests for emergency food assistance rose in 21 out of the 25 cities it surveyed in 2012, and remained at the same level in three. More than half the cities said homelessness increased.
Among those seeking emergency food, 51% were in families and 37% were employed. Nearly 17% were elderly and 8.5% were homeless, according to the survey.
The Associated Press reports that Indiana officials expect that the state's government "could see a big drop in casino tax revenue over the next two years due to competition from new casinos in Ohio."
The latest state revenue forecast "projects the state's annual casino tax revenue will decline by about $42 million, or 9 percent, for the second year of the new two-year state budget legislators will decide during their session that starts next month," according to the AP.
Indiana state Senate appropriations chairman Luke Kenley told The Times of Munster, Ind., that he doesn't believe Indiana's casino revenue will ever return to the levels seen when there was little competition from other states.
USA Today notes that one such place is the Inn at Honey Run in Holmes County, about halfway between Cleveland and Columbus.
The inn "wasn't purposely built to mimic the earth-berm style of ("Hobbit" author J.R.R.) Tolkien's Shire, but the likeness nevertheless presents a not-to-be-missed marketing opportunity," USA Today says.
It's offering a $259 Hobbit Getaway Package that includes a stay in an earth-sheltered Honeycomb Suite, breakfast, biscuits and jam in the room, and a four-book, boxed set of Tolkien's "The Hobbit" and "The Lord of the Rings" series. Guests also can watch the "Lord of the Rings" movies in the inn's lower-level Hearth Room.
