Tart Pastry
- 1 1/4 cups (200g/6.5 oz) all purpose flour
- 1/2 cup (60g/2 oz) icing sugar
- 1/2 cup (125g/4 oz) cold margarine (Earth Balance)
- 2 tbsp ground flax seed
- 2 tbsp cold water
- 2-3 tbsp cold coconut milk (or soy creamer/milk)
1. Whisk together flour and sugar. Cut in margarine until mixture has large crumbs the size of peas.
2. Sprinkle flax over the water and 2 tbsp of the coconut milk, then whisk until goopy. Add to flour mixture and mix with a fork until it comes together into a soft dough, dribbling in more milk if needed.
3. Press dough into a disc, wrap in plastic, and refrigerate for at least one hour and as much as overnight.
4. When pastry is cooled, roll out into a 12-13 inch circle on a floured surface. Carefully place dough into a 9.5 inch tart pan, letting the excess hand over the sides.
Trim overhanging dough to 1/2 inch. Fold overhang into the pan and press dough into the pan to make a smooth and uniform shell.
5. Place shell in the freezer and preheat oven to 400 degrees.
6. When oven is a heat, line shell with aluminium foil and fill with dried beans.
Bake for 15-20 mins, or until crust has dried out. After 15 mins, pull back some of the foil and check if it is wet/oily. If it is, replace the foil and check again in two mins.
7. Once dry, remove foil/beans, reduce heat to 350 degrees, and bake for another 3-5 mins, until very lightly golden (you only want to partially bake the crust). Let cool on a wire rack.
Apple Tart
- 2 lbs cooking apples (about 5), peeled, cored, and cut into uniform chunks (about 1 inch)
- 2 tbsp sugar
- 2 tsp fresh lemon juice
- 1 tbsp margarine, melted
- 2 cooking apples, peeled cored, and thinly sliced
- 1 tbsp margarine, melted
- 1 tbsp sugar
- 1/3 cup apricot jam
Preheat oven to 375 degrees
1. Line a baking sheet with parchment paper. Mix together apple pieces, sugar, lemon juice and melted margarine in a large bowl and spread in a single layer on the baking sheet. Bake for 20-25 mins, or until soft and mash-able. Mash until chunky and set aside to cool.
2. When cooled, spread into the cooled tart crust.
3. Layer sliced apples over the apple sauce like you see in the pic below.
Remember that the apples will shrink when cooked, so don't space them too far apart. Brush lightly with melted margarine, then sprinkle sugar over top. Bake for 45-50 mins, unit apples are soft. Let cool on a wire rack for 30 mins.
4. Heat apricot jam in a small saucepan over medium heat until bubbling. Strain through a fine mesh sieve, then brush gently over the apples. Serve at room temp.

Born in Pennsylvania in 1958, Keith Haring was an American artist and social activist whose work responded to the New York City street culture of the 1980s. The bold, cartoon-like, active figures of his paintings were inspired by the vibrant graffiti around him and became signature symbols for his political themes.
Harings imagery has become a widely recognised visual language of the 20th century expressing concepts of birth, death, sexuality and war.
In this collection of prints and posters all the unmistakable hallmarks of Harings vision are here; bold, bright and iconic graphics charged with energy and humour. These are the perfect statement pictures for modern spaces.

2009 Smoking Loon Cabernet Sauvignon for $8.84
Aromas of raspberry, dark plum, and fresh oregano frame this Cabernet's soft fruit with a light herbaceousness. Showing great varietal character on the palate, flavors of blackberry and red currant are closely followed by toasty French oak and a nuance of molasses on the mid palate, adding weight and depth. Finishing with lingering crushed red berry and savory notes, the light tannins on the back end open up a variety of food pairing options. All together, the rich mouthfeel and fine structure creates balance in this wine that connoisseurs and novices alike will enjoy.
2 Comments add a comment
Maybe I'm a cheap date, but I think Smoking Loon is good wine. Woot!
that's not a good price for the wine. wine.com has it for $7.99

Combobox to JSON
My form has three input fields which are text,text,combobox. When I try
var dd = Ext.encode(form.getValue());
It only gets and encodes the text inputs to the JSON, it does not include value of combobox, how can l deal with it?
26 Dec 2012 6:27 AM #2
Do you mean form.getValues()? Is your combobox a child of the form?
Can you post some code?
26 Dec 2012 8:05 AM #3

Is not there any way? I want all form's childs(inputs) to be added to JSON object but it is not able to include combobox, how can I solve this problem?
28 Dec 2012 5:33 AM #5
It should. But unless you post some code, it's difficult to trouble-shoot why you're not getting the behavior you expect.

Excellent dude, both the website and your answer, thank you very much.
Note: Actually my problem is not about the retrieving the combobox value. It was about the label of value that it retrieves it like that
{"combobox-1018-inputEl":"Reviewer"}} , now I speficy the label and it works.

At Windows 7, Win + 1,2,3..9 launches the first, second etc App in taskbar. Is there a similar keyboard shortcut in OSX in order to launch Apps that are in the Dock?
Just downloaded a 99 cent app from the mac app store called "Snap" that fixes this. Now I hit command-1 and the first app in my dock launches. Awesome!
As @Am1rr3zA said, you can use the default Control + fn + F3. You can then press Enter or Space to launch an app.
You can change the key binding in the Keyboard shortcuts menu in the Settings application.
I don't know the exact solution but you can use control+fn+F3 after that you can navigate through Dock with keyboard arrow keys (→ or ←) and press enter on your desire app.
This is a neat windows feature to want in the Dock, but if you like keyboard shortcuts, why not get a customizable application, like Quicksilver that lets you do a lot via the keyboard. Its not going to be easy / quick if you have a lot of Apps in your dock to remember a meaning less position number of a icon in a dock, when you could just ask for what you want directly. Something like Quicksilver will not only help you open stuff in the dock faster it will let you open stuff not in the dock at extreme speeds.
For example, after getting Quicksilver's attention via a configurable key command, I type "F" and hit enter to open Firefox on my setup.

6 Military Fakes You Won't Believe Fooled the World
We've all met a bullshitter -- the guy who claims he's been in a ton of street fights, or a secret agent. But nothing is worse than the fake war heroes -- dudes who want all of the glory and cool stories of people who served without the actual "risking their lives" part. It's not surprising that those ridiculous, compulsive liars exist. It's surprising that some of them managed to fool the world.
#6. Overweight "Green Beret" Convinces Feds He Should Be in Charge of Disaster Recovery
William James Clark liked to pretend to be a Green Beret. That doesn't mean he was good at it, mind you. In fact, we would have named Clark the worst impostor in the history of military fakers ... had his own government not believed him.
For instance, in 2010, an active-duty sergeant saw this whale of a man lumber by him in Army combat fatigues at a gun show. Of particular note were the special forces patch on his arm and his rank, which was captain. Also of note, he was claiming to be a member of the Army special forces group the Green Berets, yet he was wearing a black beret. Clark was hitting up an ATV representative for a special deal on a few for "his guys." To review, an overweight man in uniform indicating that he was an officer in the Green Berets was trying to convince someone to sell him ATVs for use in combat, all while wearing the wrong colored hat. He pretty much did stuff like this every day.
Via Sean Linnane
"I, uh, eat an extra serving of dessert for each of my fallen comrades."
For instance, two years prior, Clark called up the Russian embassy to warn them that his unit was planning to assassinate Vladimir Putin. Because he's totally a Green Beret, you guys, and that's how they operate.
But it's all harmless fun, right? Just a random crazy guy who found a uniform ...
Via Sean Linnane
"The government issued me a license to bulge."
Who the Hell Bought This?
On May 26, 2002, the captain of a tugboat lost control of the vessel and collided with the Interstate 40 bridge on the Arkansas River in Oklahoma. What followed was a scene of total chaos -- 14 people died in the disaster. Folks nearby and even the tugboat crew immediately began to render aid to those in the water. You know, like people are wont to do in an emergency. And then fake Green Beret Billy James Clark appeared on the scene.
Via Oddculture.com
What a disaster like this needs is a complete imbecile to show up and take charge.
Clark announced to approximately 20 local, state, and federal responding agencies on the scene that he was in charge. And they believed him. This included staff attached to organizations like the FBI, National Transportation Safety Board, and Army Corps of Engineers. For almost three days, Clark supervised rescue and recovery efforts, which for him meant things like going through the victims' personal effects, commandeering the use of a pickup truck from the local dealership (he told the owner that the National Guard had sent all their vehicles out of the country), and securing seven or eight rooms at a nearby hotel that only he'd use.
Oh, and it turned out that an actual Army officer died in the accident, so "Captain" Clark secured the soldier's briefcase, inside which he found a phone number for the man's widow. Naturally, he took it upon himself to give her the terrible news. You know, as a fellow officer.
Via Sean Linnane
Yeah, we're guessing the sort of mental problems he has are incurable.
Eventually he was called out by the mayor of a nearby small town, and of course Clark turned himself in and apologized for the ruckus caused by assuming command of a situation he was not remotely qualified to handle.
Oh, wait, no. He instead packed up his "borrowed" pickup and headed north to make a run for the border, which he successfully crossed, only to be caught days later and eventually sent to federal prison.
#5. The Counter-Terrorism Instructor Who Knows Less About the Subject Than You
If you spent time in a public school, there's a good chance you had at least one teacher who didn't have any goddamn idea what they were talking about (no matter how hard they work, it's rough when budget cuts force the gym teacher to muddle through a semester of botany). But if you're taking a class that deals with matters of life and death, you usually assume that you're listening to an expert. Which brings us to William "Bill" Hillar.
Hillar claimed to be a retired army colonel and (again) Green Beret, an expert with a Ph.D. who taught classes in counter-terrorism, human trafficking, and drug smuggling. He wasn't any of those things. You'd think he wouldn't get five minutes into his first lecture before somebody called him on his bullshit. You'd be wrong.
Via Armytimes.com
Ironically, he actually looks like a math teacher.
Who the Hell Bought This?
Hillar, who in his classes claimed that the Liam Neeson movie Taken was based on his life (he said his daughter died in the real incident), spent a decade spreading his "expertise" on the subject. From the late '90s, schools and employers lined up to throw money at Hillar to come give classes and workshops on the art of punching terrorists in the throat. And please keep in mind, he wasn't fooling a bunch of college freshmen with this stuff -- his students were mostly active-duty military or police types engaged in continuing education on topics like human trafficking, drug smuggling, and "tactical counter-terror." His students got a syllabus including such otherwise unobtainable information as articles in The Atlantic, Charlie Wilson's War, and Executive Order 12333.
Via Elon University
That's him on the left, being honored as a hometown hero.
The incredible thing is that it only took over 10 years of his "teaching" to finally get the attention of actual members of the special forces community. Then, in 2010, it was revealed that Hillar was never in the Army, had not graduated from college, and had never told a terrorist over the phone that he would find him and kill him.
#4. Stanley Clifford Weyman Pretends to Be With the Navy, Meets the President
This is the first entry in which we find out that wearing a military uniform is apparently universally accepted as a form of ID.
It was 1915, and a guy in a funny uniform claiming to be from the Romanian navy showed up where the flagship of the Atlantic fleet, USS Wyoming, was berthed. His name was Lieutenant Commander Ethan Allen Weinberg. That was not his real name, and he was not really a member of any navy. He was just a man who figured out that a fancy uniform gets you through the door anywhere.
"Pardon the intrusion, but I'm afraid I'm going to have to commandeer this strip club. For America."
Who the Hell Bought This?
Being an apparent foreign officer from a friendly country, Weinberg was invited aboard for an inspection, which he gladly accepted. It went swimmingly, and afterward "Commander Weinberg" invited the officers to a dinner at the Astor Hotel the following day, which the captain proceeded to accept. The dinner was a grand affair, the Astor being one of the best hotels in New York, and everyone had a great time. Well, until a couple of cops showed up and arrested "Commander Weinberg," who was heard to remark that they should have waited until dessert.
Yeah, it turns out that this wasn't the first time he'd faked his way into free food. The guy was actually named Stanley Clifford Weyman, and he had played the VIP as early as 1910, when he was busted pretending to be the American consul to Morocco, dining at upscale New York restaurants and having the bill sent to the government.
"Sir, I'm afraid we'll need a little bit more information than just 'the government.'"
But then, in 1921, he bluffed his way into meeting the goddamned president of the USA. In the White House.
To pull this off, Weyman put on a Navy uniform again and approached a princess from Afghanistan named Fatima. He told her he was from the State Department, and that he could get her a meeting with the president if she would pay him $10,000. She did, and since that's like $130,000 today, most men would have considered the con over and skipped town with the cash. But Stanley Clifford Weyman was not most men.
Instead, our impostor turned around and bluffed his way into actually getting her a meeting with President Warren G. Harding. How did he do that? Simple: by pretending to the Navy that he was in the State Department, and then pretending to the State Department that he was in the Navy. The guy was just so freaking convincing that nobody ever felt the need to verify what he was saying. Weyman used the $10,000 to rent a private boxcar to get the princess from New York to Washington, D.C., and arrange expensive accommodations once there. In other words, he spent the money she gave him to help him better play the role of the big shot.
General Photographic Agency / Getty
This is them, presumably moving the princess to another castle.
The meeting with Harding happened, under much press coverage, and only then did someone notice that this was the guy who was constantly getting arrested for pretending to be naval officers. So, he was arrested as a fake, again. And again. At least a dozen times he would get caught for various fraud schemes involving false identity, and who knows how many more he got away with. He really did just like screwing with people.

This question has been asked before and already has an answer. If those answers do not fully address your question, please ask a new question.
The answer is probably you'd better prepare 2 versions of translation for the game menus/buttons to better sell your game.
However, either Simplified Chinese or Traditional Chinese is OK, since most of the case you could use a locale converter such as AppLocale under windows to convert different encodes. But if the game cannot use such tools, better prepare 2 versions.
As for the Classical Chinese, it depends on your game type, if it's an RPG, maybe some of the poem/idiom can be translated to Classical Chinese.
If you are asking about China only, then it is Simplified Chinese(SC).
All of main-land China us SC, except Hong Kong, which use Traditional Chinese(TC).
Taiwan (if you consider it part of China now) also use TC.

Is there a word that means doing the right thing for the wrong reason or getting the right conclusion from the wrong set of presumptions?
Sign up

The word unwittingly seems close, though you may have to qualify it. I found an example I think demonstrates this use (see page 140 in the search results).
How about a new word: corraccidentally
I think this question can't have a clear answer because this phrase is quite open.
Think about all the situations where this could be applied.
So going to the root of the problem, I think what this phrase is expressing is that the person isn't aware of all the circumstances (or has the wrong idea) when doing something.
So I agree with @Andy that it might be unwittingly. Or in my opinion inadvertently would be a closer fit to.
That said, it might also be expressed unintentional, since he/she is doing something wrong, thinking its the right thing.
But all those meaning don't cover the harshest way to use this phrase that would make the "accused" a naif, confused or misguided (I like this last actually) since you could be meaning: "although you are doing the right thing, there is not much merit to it, since it's almost by chance, you don't have a philosophy behind your actions (or a wrong one)"
Serendipitously is the word I would use, although it means something more like "doing the right thing for no reason at all".
The word "Lucky" is frequently used in that situation.
For example, in a case where someone confronted with two doors, decorated with writing in a foreign language, selects the one that is on the right as the "entrance" on the basis that everyone is right handed. He has made a correct selection, based on incorrect information (that is not why the door is the entrance). One might say to him:
"Wow, so you just happened to pick the correct choice despite having faulty reasoning? What a lucky break!"
Although now that I'm thinking about it, the word "Fortuitous" is closer to what I meant.
Ulteriorly. The individual doing the "right thing for the wrong reason" did it ulteriorly.
I think this might be a candidate: unassumingly
An egoist or megalomaniac...is probably someone who would do nice things for someone to build their own rep etc. thus doing something "right" for the "wrong" reason.
I'd say the person has reached the outcome "fortuitously" or "accidentally" (both mean "by accident or chance")

Every day before I leave for work, I let Ricky, Lucy and Buddy out for a run through the woods, give Bam Bam a pat on the head and try to find Spidey, Baby and Mini to see if they're up for a cuddle, too!
Such is the life of a pet parent.
But it seems today, I should have asked for Bam Bam to get a seat at the desk next to me. It's National Take Your Dog to Work Day. For the 14th year, the group Pet Sitters International is setting aside the day to celebrate dogs as companions, and to encourage their adoption from animal shelters and rescue groups. (If cat lovers would like equal time, the group encourages offices to make this "Take Your Pet to Work" week!)
You might have notices we're an animal-loving group around WIBW-TV. I'm trying to imagine the scene if we ALL brought our dogs to work! Suzie's Winnie, Josh's Jackson and Jeremy's Angel would lead the pint-sized pooches in taking over the place! Bam Bam would lounge under my desk, while Ricky, Lucy and Buddy mixed it up with Jim's Nike and Misha. J.B.'s Pepper would entertain us with tricks. And Drew's Nado would stalk the geese in the field off the weather deck. Maybe we get them to join in a rousing chorus of a new 13 News theme?
Truth be told, we often have furry friends visit. Angel famously made a cameo appearance in the news one day. And Jim's dogs tried to get Suzie to laugh as they rushed her during a live newsroom report once, but she kept her cool! If you know us, we know we love our pets!
You can get info on the day at this web site: http://www.takeyourdog.com/index.php. There's even a photo gallery of dogs who headed to the office today!
Did any of you have a workplace that participated? I'd love to hear your stories - even better, share your photos on my facebook page, www.facebook.com/WIBWMelissaBrunner
Who wouldn't love that face?!

This was an old problem I had years ago, but never really solved. Maybe it can be cracked here?
The situation is as follows.
Denote by $\mathbb{Q}(q)[X,Y]$ the algebra of polynomials over $\mathbb{Q}(q)$, the field of rational functions. Moreover, $X$ and $Y$ are indeterminates but do not commute. Let $\mathbf{Q}[x,y]=\mathbb{Q}(q)[X,Y]/I$, with $I$ being the (two-sided) ideal generated by $YX-qXY$. So $\mathbf{Q}[X,Y]$ is the ring whose generators satisfy the relation $YX=qXY$.
Why then is \[ (X+Y)^n=\sum_i\binom{n}{i}_qX^iY^{n-i} \] an identity in $\mathbf{Q}[X,Y]$?
Thank you for the tips. I expand $$ \begin{align*} (X+Y)^{n+1} &= (X+Y)^n(X+Y)\\ &= (X+Y)^nX+(X+Y)^nY\\ &= \sum_i\binom{n}{i}_qX^{i}Y^{n-i}X+\sum_i \binom{n}{i}_qX^iY^{n-i+1}\\ &= \sum_iq^{n-i}\binom{n}{i}_qX^{i+1}Y^{n-i}+\sum_i \binom{n}{i}_qX^iY^{n-i+1}. \end{align*} $$
I also find $$ \begin{align*} \sum_i\binom{n+1}{i}_qX^iY^{n+1-i} &= X^{n+1}+Y^{n+1}+\sum_{i=1}^n\binom{n+1}{i}_qX^iY^{n+1-i}\\ &= X^{n+1}+Y^{n+1}+\sum_{i=1}^n\left[q^i\binom{n}{i}_q+\binom{n}{i-1}_q\right]X^iY^{n+1-i}\\ &= \sum_{i=0}^nq^i\binom{n}{i}_qX^iY^{n+1-i}+\sum_{i=1}^{n+1}\binom{n}{i-1}_qX^iY^{n+1-i}. \end{align*} $$ I also prove the commutation formula $$ Y^{k+1}X=YY^kX=Yq^kXY^k=q^kYXY^k=q^kqXYY^k=q^{k+1}XY^{k+1}. $$
How does one reorder the monomials now to get the equality?

In need of network security camera - Catching someone opening my mail
Twice now I have had my mail opened. First was a bank statement (my boyfriends)and another envelope cut open with a knife. Then yesterday two boxes were left on my porch and both were cut open as well. One was delivered by USPS and the other by UPS (2pm). I have reported it and I am waiting on a call from USPS. My neighbor believes it might be the kids walking home from school. The house was vacant for some time before I moved in. Either way I am freaked out and irritated. Luckily I don't have anything cool enough to steal except for personal information (sarcasm).
None the less I was curious if anyone could suggest a camera that hooks to a network so I can watch from work. Preferably one with pan/tilt & some night vision. I don't want to spend over $120. I saw one made by LOFTEK that looked ok but I have no clue about this stuff. Any suggestions?
29 Answers answer
Until you find one, perhaps try posting a sign that the area is under constant survelliance? It may help deter kids with they think may be caught.
X10 sells a number of products like what you want. (You can possibly get them cheaper elsewehre, but it's a start.)
In particular, the Airsight is under $100.
@cmaxelson: I want to catch them first and see if a should be worried about some kids being dumb or an adult trying to gather information.
If it's kids I want to scare them and make them clean my house and yard for the rest of their lives in return for not calling the police.
Deals.woot usually has some. So does Amazon. Another option is to have the post office (P. O. Box for long term) and UPS hold your stuff, and pick it up on your way home.
that really sucks. hopefully you catch the jerk(s) doing this.
here's one for $83 with decent reviews:
- Remote pan/tilt control (pan:300° & tilt:120°), Freely control IR-LED on/off
- Remote viewing, record from anywhere anytime, motion detection alert via email or upload image to FTP
- Supports all standard browsers, Wi-Fi compliant (IEEE 802.11b/g), supports WEP & WPA WPA2 Encryption
@carl669: I have a few of the Foscam cameras and they work quite well. Computer Geeks has one with the same features and specs as the Foscam:
I think it was just yesterday that they had a special running for $49.99. I've ordered a couple of the ones from Computer Geeks and had them shipped to my daughter, and she loves them. You can set them up to send you an email (with pics attached) whenever they detect motion.
Not too sure about security cameras but for this exact reason, I always have my packages either delivered to my work address or have them leave them at UPS/USPS/FedEx where I can pick it up.
Best of luck getting these guys. I know first hand how irritating this can be.
Put a dye pack into a package. That'd show them...
I'm pretty sure this will be down-voted into oblivion for the non-tech solution, but here it goes anyways.
How about a locking mailbox? The reason I suggest that, is because of the unknown picture quality of the camera.
As for packages, have them ship to work or a UPS store/depot.
For a possibly cheap solution with things you may have.. a webcam set up could probably do it for you. Plenty of articles out there about setting that up.
@kmeltzer: That was my first thought as well. My office is at the front of the house, so this would be very simple for me to do. A laptop would make it very simple as well.
@prettywootprincess: While you're going through all this hassle, you might as well have some fun with the package bandits. Below are two links you may find useful:
100 live cockroaches for $18 shipped
And if you're not into roaches...
here are your other mailable live animal options
I would probably go with the bees as they would pack a punch and you wouldn't have to worry about an infestation. Also, just make sure you have your surveillance system up and running..this could be youtube gold. Good luck!
@oo7slice: As of now my boyfriend and I's plan is for me to hide in a box with other boxes on top and I will pack a punch and wield a can of spray paint so we can find them as they run.
Or we wait behind the door with a bat or gun and scare the crap out of them. Then make them work it off (if a kid) or go to jail (if an adult).
I would like the bee idea if I wasn't deadly afraid of bees.
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Vlq6b7wbi64 booby trap one of the boxes and teach em a lesson
found this on the internetz: "Another effective method to help stop mail theft is to install a mailbox chime or mailbox alarm. These will beep on a monitor inside the house each time the mailman comes or someone else opens your mailbox. If you are quick you can get a good luck at the thief or just know when your mail arrives so that it won't linger in the mailbox."
@carl669: The real trick here is making sure that what you have purchased is an actual Foscam product. There are so many knockoffs of it that it's really hard to tell, and the firmware/performance of the knockoffs is on the level of somewhat to mostly pathetic.
@prettywootprincess: I would report this to the post office. They probably won't do anything, but it may be a problem throughout the neighborhood that they will need to deal with. It IS still a federal offense.
@prettywootprincess: I wouldn't recommend hiding in the box if they are using a knife to open your packages (unless you don't mind changing your name to headlesswootprincess). But I do like your ideas. You should get one of those guns with the white flag that pops out and says "bang!"
@xavoc: I have reported it.
@oo7slice: I will have boxes on top that they will cut first. Maybe a bigger knife as well. Oh, and a peep hole.
@prettywootprincess: Those security systems that Woot has been selling periodically would work well in this case. Maybe work would let you borrow one to "review"?
for now i'd suggest a locking mailbox and with the packages, FedEx, probably ups and usps, allow you to have them held at a close location and you can pick them up when you have the time instead of having them delivered.
i'd also prank them. perhaps if you leave the flag up they'd be interested what you're sending someone? bee/roach idea is alright, if not for the fact that it is then your problem because they are outside of your house.
@prettywootprincess: Lol, hopefully they don't open and take the package with the surveillance system.
I bought this a few months ago http://www.amazon.com/TRENDnet-TV-IP422WN-SecurView-Wireless-Surveillance/dp/B004WK9FEQ/ref=sr_1_1?ie=UTF8&qid=1330736472&sr=8-1
I have an iOS app, can view/hear/control over the internet and even stream it to my Woot Sony Dash.
careful about hiding in the box- velvet underground beat you to that:
also, you sure you want kids that are stealing your mail inside your house? Yard work while you're home might be a better idea.
That's so unethical, you should catch them, maybe you can get a tinny IP camera built-in your mail box, so you can see who keep opening your mail. 100$ is a high budget to buy one, a website for reference and hope you can get away from this as soon as possible. http://www.accessbuy.com/wholesale-IP-Camera_113.html
i would say even if they are kids turn them over to the police while it may seem cruel if you can frighten them enough now hopefully they will stop their ways.
www.liveline.net , No CD Rom, No Port Forward..........Cloud Monitoring System
i have a PAN/TILT ip camera i'll sell you cheap ($25)
this is link: http://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B004GWQBWY/
It is same as foscam and uses same drivers
I just never used it
I don't think so.If I were you , I would turn to more and authorized webs for reliable information. Please do not confused by dust throwed by others.
I think Loftek and other IP camera both have their own highlights.

Mary may have ample resources and prefer that her share pass to her children who have greater need and are in lower income tax brackets. (The progressive nature of our tax laws often fosters such altruism among family members.) —William M. McGovern, Jr. et al., Wills, Trusts and Estates, 1988

Did You Know?
Altruism refers to a quality possessed by people whose focus is on something other than themselves, and its root reveals the object of those generous tendencies. Altruism derives from the French word autrui, meaning "other people." Autrui in turn developed from the Old French term autre, which means "other" and which itself comes from Latin alter, also meaning "other." That Latin source eventually caused a curious thing to happen. Under the influence of alter, the French autrui gave rise to the altrui- of both the French altruisme and the English altruism. The English term has been in use since at least the mid-1800s.
Origin and Etymology of altruism
French altruisme, from autrui other people, from Old French, oblique case form of autre other, from Latin alter

I hate to be Captain Buzzkill, but it's time for us to talk about the most disappointing games of 2012. Some were outright bad. But most just didn't live up to their potential.
Consider this to be a love letter to good game makers who made bad moves.
1. "Max Payne 3" by Rockstar for Xbox 360 and PS 3.
Previous "Max Paynes" were psychologically compelling, neo-noir wows written by Sam Lake in an excellent Raymond Chandler style.
But Rockstar turned this sequel into a big-budget, clunky shooter hobbled by bizarre visuals, and a rote narrative about drugs and mobs and blah.
Dear Rockstar Games, I love you, but you hurt noir. Please resurrect it.
2. "Resident Evil: Operation Raccoon City" by Capcom for PS 3, Xbox 360 and PC.
This zombie-shooter thoroughly sucked. That is all.
3. "Syndicate" by EA for PS 3, Xbox 360 and PC.
This one broke my heart. I loved the shooting and supernatural powers in this futuristic, super-soldier shooter, fighting robot Earth soldiers.
But I could not take out the first boss, Agent Tatasuo, after an hour. I tried everything. I'm a pro. This left me angry and sad.
4. Not enough Vita games.
Sony's handheld PlayStation Vita is an awesome machine. But how many masterful games came out since February launch? One? Two? Five. Not enough 3DS games.
Likewise, Nintendo's handheld 3DS came out in 2011. It's potentially super cool. But how many must-have games are available? One? Two?
6. "FIFA Soccer '13" by Electronic Arts for Xbox 360, PS 3, Wii U, Vita, PC, Wii, 3DS and PSP.
This wasn't terrible. But I didn't enjoy it at all. How hard is it to make a fun soccer game?
7. "Assassin's Creed III" by Ubisoft for Xbox 360, PS 3 and PC.
The good: It was huge, pretty and had interesting moments in its fighting/role-playing missions.
But dialogue was a drag, hurting the story. Fighting was easy. Eavesdropping missions stunk. And riding a horse through towns and woods for 15 minutes at a time was a yawn.
8. "The Amazing Spider-Man" by Activision for Xbox 360, PS 3, Wii, 3DS and DS.
I gave this "Spidey" two out of four stars for the nice web-flying, cinematic scenes and voice acting. But game play is boring, villains are cookie-cutter, and web-combat is ho-hum. A stumble after previous, great "Spidey" games.
9. "Madden NFL '13" by Electronic Arts for Xbox 360 and PS 3.
This footballer earned three stars. But "Madden's" new software engine felt flaky. To my eye, it looked herky-jerky. My running blockers were terrible. I fell to the ground from slight brushes against my own players. Looking forward to next year.
10. "Resident Evil 6" by Capcom for Xbox 360 and PS 3.
This game earned a respectable three stars. Not bad.
But it takes a gazillion bullets to kill zombies. Boss levels were absurd. It could have been masterful. Instead, it was just good.
("Max Payne 3" by Rockstar retails for $20 for Xbox 360 and PS 3; $30 for PC - Plays no-fun. Looks great. Challenging. Rated "M" for blood, gore, intense violence, partial nudity, strong language, strong sexual content, use of drugs and alcohol. One star. (Originally reviewed 05/29/12.)

Video footage of the Jacksonville, Florida-based hard rock/post-grunge band SHINEDOWN performing acoustically on April 18, 2009 for "Record Store Day" at J&R Music World in New York City can be viewed below (courtesy of "xOneOfTheGirlsx").SHINEDOWN has selected the title track from its latest album, "The Sound Of Madness", as the next single from the disc. "The Sound Of Madness" follows "Second Chance", the CD's second single, which recently topped the rock radio charts. Brent Smith told The Pulse of Radio that "The Sound Of Madness" doesn't have the same uplifting message as its predecessor. "People always have a person that they see self-destructing themselves, and at a point in time, you get over trying to make them understand," he said. "And as you help them, they keep constantly just going downhill. And it's this song where it's the person telling the other person, 'You know what? I know that you've gone through all this stuff, I know that it's hard, but I've gone through the same thing that you've gone through.'" "The Sound of Madness", SHINEDOWN's third studio effort, has sold more than 300,000 copies in the U.S. since coming out last June.

The 6 Most Unintentionally Hilarious Old School PSAs
If you want to know why your parents are the way they are, it's because they were likely raised on a series of deeply disturbing educational films.
Back before kids were raised by TV, these productions got shown in classrooms across the country, each one heavy on fear, but light on facts. As a public service, we've edited together highlights from some of the most hilariously bad lessons ever put on film. Take careful notes, or you might not learn that ...
#6. Pornography Will Literally Destroy Civilization
As Learned From:
Perversion for Profit a 1965 film commissioned by The Citizens for Decent Literature, presumably as porn for people with a self-hatred fetish.
The film kicks off with host George Putnam introducing a series of firmly! exclamatory! facts! angrily shouted into the camera, then transitions right to twenty solid minutes of pornographic pictures.
"This'll teach 'em not to look at porn."
The "shocking" images are accompanied by helpful tips on where to find such filth, as ol' George breathlessly explains that, "They can be bought openly by anyone in drug stores, groceries, delicatessens, terminals, malt shops, cigar stores, news stands ... all over the country!"
Putnam points out that, "This same kind of rot ... and decay caused sixteen! of the nineteen! major civilizations to vanish from the earth!"
That's right, kids, the Roman Empire wasn't brought down by economic decline or Germanic expansion. The culprit was two-dimensional renderings of titties. And yet, Japan survives.
The film also implies that the sickos who buy Playboy will suddenly rape you and your children, and gives helpful advice on what to do if you come into contact with the stuff ...
Short of involving the police, George generously invites you to join his local chapter of The Citizens for Decent Literature. That may not sound like fun, but keep in mind that the man thinks anti-porn tirades should be accompanied by lots of pornography. Probably not ideal circumstances for boob-gazing, but before the internet, we'd imagine you took what you could get.
#5. Homosexual Men are Bloodthirsty Predators
As Learned From:
"Boys Beware", a chronicle of the various ways gay men of 1961 stalked their young prey, courtesy of Sid Davis. The narrator warns that "the homosexual" can be anywhere, and he just isn't happy unless he's sodomizing a naive teenager.
This film helps those young, tender, blond boys recognize the dangers of the mentally ill homosexual, and points out some warning signs. Is the man being a little too friendly? Offering gifts? Playing basketball with you? Then he's almost definitely planning to dump your corpse on the pile of dead teenage rape victims in his back yard.
The film was commissioned by the Inglewood Police Department--which says a lot about Southern California cops of the early 60s--and shown to pubescent boys in classrooms across the country.
Strangely, in addition to all of the scenes of homosexuals snatching innocent young boys off the corner, our narrator implies that simply being the victim of "the homosexual" can get you in legal trouble yourself:
"Finally, Jimmy told his parents, and they reported it to the juvenile authorities. Ralph was arrested. And Jimmy was released on probation in the custody of his parents."
Sure, he got off with probation. But if Jimmy continues getting molested against his will, some hard jail time will apparently be the only recourse. What better way to break a young boy of his getting-mollested habit than sending him to prison?
#4. Teens Only Learn Via Snide Criticism
As Learned From:
"Habit Patterns" (1954) and 'Body Care and Grooming" (1948), two delightful films that teach young ladies nothing brings out the best in a person faster than snarky criticism and sneering observations about their appearance.
Habit Patterns tells the story of "Barbara," who is helped along by the fairy Godmother-like narrator who admonishes her for sleeping in, eating quickly, drumming her fingers on a desk and, most unforgivable of all, being an awkward teenager at social functions.
In the most nagging tone imaginable, our narrator compares habitually late and disgusting Barbara to her OCD-riddled neighbor Helen. Of course, telling teenage girls to exaggerate their perfectly average flaws doesn't work in real life. But in a bizarre choice for an educational film, it doesn't even work in the story, which ends with Barbara dissolving into hysterics while the narrator sneers, "It's a little late for tears, isn't it Barbara?"
We're surprised it doesn't follow up with instructions on how to make a noose out of her belt.
Body Care and Grooming, meanwhile, is another film with helpful tips about appearance. Just witness the young man's reaction to the hideously disheveled coed who dares to stand next to him.
He marches off while the helpful narrator berates the woman for not making the man "behave like a human being."
Trust us, young lady. Nothing will make Joe College angrier than the sight of rumpled bobby socks. And you wouldn't like Joe College when he's angry.
Well, look on the bright side--at least you're not a pothead. Because as we'll soon find out, that can lead to only one thing ...

It is written somewhere (I don't remember exactly where) that 40 days before conception, it is called out in Heaven who that person will marry. However, if the person gets married multiple times how does that work. Are the other marriages also called out? And what if the person doesn't get married?

Try this lecture from Rabbi Bednarsh, entitled "the theology of shiduchim." Not surprisingly, there are many different opinions.
The Gemara sounds like a first marriage is easy, because it's just the two people matching up as pre-destined. It's second (or later) matchmakings that are "as difficult as the Splitting of the Sea."
The approach that's easiest for me to understand is that which R' Aryeh Kaplan zt'l quotes in his book on marriage (I don't recall which Rishonim he's citing): at conception, it is most likely that Chaim Yankel will go about his life in such-and-such a fashion, and Zlota Shprintza will be the right person for him as their first marriage. (Now it's possible that G-d provided Chaim with Zlota's "shiduch resume" but he was too picky to consider it, or they saw each other someplace he was too nervous [or frum?] to walk across the room and say hello to her, and thus he's still single; that's Chaim's fault, not G-d's!) Both Chaim and Zlota, however, are able to exercise free will and dramatically change their trajectory of life, at which point their Divinely-set "bashert" is ... I guess the word is "recalculated."
In short, just because a couple should get married doesn't mean they will.
There's also some discussion about why you're allowed to get engaged during the Nine Days, "as if you don't get this great girl, maybe someone else will"; that would seem to imply that even if was bashert, there are no guarantees; but I've heard other explanations too.
See Sotah 2a (summarized here). The pre-conception designation applied only to a first marriage. In subsequent marriages, one gets what one deserves, which is harder for God to arrange than the Splitting of the Sea.
At our siyum on Sotah, a speaker noted an answer offered by R' Yitzhak Aramah, the author of the "Akeidas Yitzchak". It can be found in the eighth "Shaar", on page פ"ב in the edition of the book found on HebrewBooks.org: http://hebrewbooks.org/14342 . He rejects that any match, even for a first marriage, could be preordained, since it would render meaningless the good deeds and prayers of the righteous as they strove to find suitable mates. (E.g. finding a wife for our forefather Yitzchak.)
רק כונתם במה שאמר כאן בזווג ראשון באן בזווג שני היא אל ב׳ מיני הזווגים אשר היינו עליהם כי הקודם מהם אצל הטבע והיא חבור החמר אל צורה הנמצא בכל איש ואיש שעליו נאמר זכר ונקב׳ בראם ויקרא אח שמם אדם הוא אשר קראוהו זווג ראשון.
which means, roughly, "rather, when they said 'one is for the first match, one is for the second match' their intention is to refer to two different kinds of matches which pertain to a person. The first of them is the connection of the Substance and the Form inherent in every person, as it is said, 'Male and female created he them; and blessed them, and called their name Adam [Genesis 5:2]' -- that's what we call the 'first match'."
His interpretation of the above was, which body does which soul get. That is preordained.
There is a contradiction between two sources. The Shulchan Aruch writes that one can get married on Chol Hamoed because another can beat him to her. Another says that the bas kol decides 40 days in advance.
One of the answers given is that one can get married before to someone not his bashert, but will later on marry his bashert. Another is that he is more "predisposed" to her, but he can still marry someone else.
A lot of this has already been covered in other answers here.
There are three statements the Gemara brings:
The Talmud (Sotah 2a) reconciles the first two statements by saying that the first marriage is predetermined, and the second (and implicitly any subsequent match) is based on the persons deed (i.e. whether he is a wicked or righteous man he will get a wife he deserves).
The different interpretations of the story mentioned in number 3 have practical ramifications. Different commentaries have different opinions how successful a marriage will be if someone "stole" someone else's predestined bride through prayer, and interpret the story differently based on that.
There are Kabalistic, non-literal interpretations of what "First Marriage" and "Second Marriage" mean. by explaining the "first marriage" non-literally, they say that even the first time one gets married his spouse is determined according to his actions.
The Lubavitcher Rebbe was once asked how much of a person's choice in his spouse is free will, and how much is predetermined. In his response, the Rebbe lists 7 different opinions in Torah, ranging from fatalistic to Kabalistic, and then explains what Chabad Chassidic thought is on the matter.
A translation of the letter is here (original here), and an essay based on the letter is here.
Here is a bullet point summary of the different opinions, read the above links for more details and sources.
Perhaps the Medrash is simply suggesting that a person has a certain "type" that they are attracted to. In other words, we each have different personalities, psychological and biological causes which make up whom would be our ideal mate. The Chazal is saying that there is a certain type of woman whom we are attracted to. This already in our "nature". It doesn't mean there is a particular girl for you. It just means a "type".
This would solve all the questions regarding divorce, or people who married more than one wife (like Avraham), etc.

For more than 100 years, Bucknell has prepared graduates for careers in business and management. Bucknellians have founded new ventures, turned around ailing companies, created nationally known brands and risen to key leadership roles in organizations around the world. Today, the School of Management, formally established in 2008, stands poised to enhance further Bucknell's structure as an educator of tomorrow's business leaders. At the heart of the vision is the integration of management and liberal arts education.
Our management curriculum features four interdisciplinary majors, each designed both to prepare students professionally and to encourage them to explore their interests across disciplinary boundaries. Working on real-world projects, our students confront firsthand management and entrepreneurial challenges and apply the insights gained from their broad education.
The School of Management is now at a pivotal moment and is poised to take steps to make far-reaching innovations in management education a reality.
Endowed signature management programs
Endowing our three hallmark hands-on programs will ensure that management education at Bucknell continues to set the standard in experiential education for undergraduates and draw employers to our graduates as never before.
New experiential courses
Our new management curriculum offers students deep understanding and competence in accounting and financial management, global management, markets, innovation and design, and managing for sustainability.
An endowment and other support will give this bold and impact-oriented curriculum the power to fund course development, experiential programs such as the global manager program and new facilities such as a design-realization studio.
More management courses for non-majors
Twenty percent of non-major graduates take at least one management course, and some take four or five. Clearly, many of our traditional liberal arts majors also want a management education.
With endowment and other funding, we can make it possible for more non-majors than ever before to take management courses – and capitalize on this rare combination in a liberal arts setting. This funding would support the hiring of talented new faculty, additional multidisciplinary minors, and advanced programs that partner with other initiatives seeking to enhance the leadership skills of all Bucknell graduates.

Hospital Visits Stack Up for Sickle Cell Patients
April 7, 2010 -- Hospital and emergency room visits can quickly add up for young people with sickle cell disease.
A new study shows that people with sickle cell disease average 2.5 hospital or emergency room visits per year, and young adults are more likely to require acute care or repeat hospitalization.
Sickle cell disease is an inherited disease that affects the red blood cells and causes periods of severe pain that often require a visit to the emergency room and/or hospitalization. Despite this common trait of sickle cell disease, researchers say little is known about how often people with the disease use emergency room or hospital resources.
In the study, published in the Journal of the American Medical Association, researchers looked at emergency room visits and hospitalization rates of 21,112 people with sickle cell disease in eight states from 2005 to 2006.
The results showed there were a total of 109,344 visits, with an average of 1.52 hospitalizations and 1.08 emergency room visits per patient per year.
Researchers found the rate of emergency room visits and hospitalizations was highest among people aged 18 to 30; they had an average of 3.61 visits per year and rates decreased throughout middle and older age.
Other findings of the study include:
- People with public insurance had more acute care visits than people with private insurance (3.22 vs. 1.76 visits per year). People without insurance had an average of 1.42 visits per year.
- About 29% of people with sickle cell disease had no hospitalizations or emergency room visits; 16.9% had three or more per year.
- One in three patients who were hospitalized were rehospitalized within 30 days. Rehospitalization rates were highest among the 18- to 30-year-old age group, with about 41% of all hospitalizations leading to rehospitalization for sickle cell-related care within 30 days.
"Rates of acute care utilization and rates of return for acute care are both high in the sickle cell population, writes David C. Brousseau, MD, of the Medical College of Wisconsin in Milwaukee. "This is especially true for young adults, who may be particularly at risk as their disease worsens and they transition from pediatric to adult care."

I have a plugin that expects there to be a default "uncategorized" category with ID=1. I've inadvertantly deleted the uncategorized category. Is it possible to recreate the category as ID=1?
When I look at a default WP install, I see that the table "wp_terms" has uncategorized as the first record with id 1. It also appears that the "wp_term_relationships" and "wp_term_taxonomy" tables are in play in this regard.
How would one go about recreating this category?

The New Normal: Murray vs. Djokovic
There was no surprise, no celebration, no look of disbelief. Andy Murray had just beaten Roger Federer at a Grand Slam tournament for the first time, and it all seemed so…normal.
In Melbourne Friday evening, Murray confirmed the new order in tennis, with Novak Djokovic at the top, Murray close behind and Federer, who will turn 32 this year, and the injured Rafael Nadal several steps behind—and struggling to keep up. Murray can move even closer to the top if he defeats Djokovic, the world's No. 1 player, in Sunday's Australian Open final. (ESPN, 3 a.m. ET)
Murray, 25, had a breakthrough season in 2012. It started with a semifinal run—and a grueling, five-set, nearly five-hour loss to Djokovic—in Melbourne, followed by his first final at Wimbledon, where he lost to Federer. A month later, Murray beat Federer in the gold medal match at the London Olympic Games and then won the U.S. Open by defeating Djokovic in the final.
The most impressive aspect of Murray's 6-4, 6-7(5), 6-3, 6-7(2), 6-2 victory over Federer: From the first point, he looked like he expected to win, and when things went wrong, he kept plugging away rather than muttering, mouthing off and imploding, as he might have a few years ago.
"You want to be excited, but you don't want to go overly crazy," Federer said. "It seems like he has more peace when he plays out there."
And more weapons. Murray played well enough to win every set and actually served for the match in the fourth set. He hit more winners, more forehand winners and more aces than Federer and had fewer errors. Remember the player who reacted to his opponents and used their power and angles against them? He's still there, but only when Murray the pacesetter—the one who bruises opponents with his serve and forehand, like his coach, Ivan Lendl, used to do—has no time or room to operate.
Murray pushed Federer around and caused him to scoff and swear several times during the match, including one outburst directed at Murray (both players brushed it off after the match). To stay in the match, Federer had to take too many risks and play too brilliantly. It was unsustainable.
Murray's transformation under Lendl's tutelage has been much remarked upon. The best way to sum it up is: Murray no longer fools around in matches. The old Murray would try fancy shots at the wrong times and seemed too concerned with style points. This Murray tries to win points—all of them—and nothing more.
"The only thing you can do is play the right way, go for your shots when the opportunity's there, and hope that it pays off," Murray said.
It sounds easy, but it took Murray and Djokovic years to master it as Federer and Nadal piled up major title after major title. Djokovic, who is a week younger than Murray, came into his own in 2011, when he won three Grand Slam titles. Now that Murray has arrived too, men's tennis—blessed now for almost a decade—has much to look forward to.
Federer versus Nadal always offered contrast: Offense versus defense, righty versus lefty, pace versus spin. Djokovic and Murray have more in common, so their battles are defined by pain and elasticity. They will run, stretch and lunge for hours—all the while snapping back from defense to offense. As Andre Agassi, who will present the trophy in Melbourne to Sunday's winner, said of the Federer-Nadal-Djokovic-Murray era, "You never know when they're behind in a point."
Or for that matter, in a match, especially with Djokovic. In the fourth round, he won a five-hour, five-set match against Stanislas Wawrinka after trailing 6-1, 5-2. Since then, Djokovic has looked more and more formidable. (He lost five games in the semifinals against No. 4 seed David Ferrer.)
Last year's U.S. Open final was a wobbly affair with lots of errors and momentum swings. Murray won the first two sets, Djokovic the next two, and Murray the final one. He had never won a major before and his nerves were on display throughout the match. Djokovic, in contrast, looked tired from a long season that saw him fail to defend his Wimbledon title and lose his first French Open final. "It wasn't the prettiest tennis," Murray said.
This time should be different. Djokovic has waited a year for another major and he's coming off one of the most clinical performances of his career. Murray is playing like a man making up for lost time. Most important of all: There's no doubt anymore that these two men are the best in the game. They both know it—and they expect to play accordingly.

Saving CeeCee Honeycutt by Beth Hoffman is the story of a twelve year old girl who has been taking care of her mentally ill mother in Ohio for years. CeeCee has far too many responsibilities for a twelve year old. Her father is basically absent and CeeCee is left to take care of of her very sick mother. When tragedy strikes, CeeCee is sent to Savannah, Georgia to live with her great Aunt Tootsie. This book tells the story of her first summer in Savannah and the bonds she creates with the new women in her life.
Upon her arrival in Savannah, CeeCee is swept off her feet by her Aunt Tootsie. CeeCee begins to have the childhood she was deprived of in Ohio. She grows very close to Oletta, her aunts housekeeper, and develops great relationships with her Aunt Tootsie and their neighbors as well. With these strong women relationships in her life, CeeCee is able to overcome her grief and tragic life back in Ohio and start a new life in Savannah.
This is an uplifting, feel good story about a young girl and the new life she makes for herself in the South. If you like southern fiction, this is must read. I highly recommend listening to this audiobook as well. Read by the same reader of The Help. Listening to this audio will make you laugh out loud and at times, cry out of pity for this young girl.
If you are looking for a quick and satisfying read this summer, I would highly recommend this debut novel by Beth Hoffman. A great mix of both The Secret Life of Bees and The Help. I only hope there are many more to come from this author.

Understanding Gallstones -- the Basics
In this article
About a million new cases of gallstones are diagnosed in the U.S. each year. For reasons that are still unclear, women are two times more likely than men to be afflicted. Native Americans have the highest rates of gallstones in the U.S. because they have a genetic disposition to secrete high levels of cholesterol in bile (a contributing factor to gallstones.) Mexican-Americans also have high rates of gallstones.
Gallstones are also more common in people over the age of 60, in those who are obese or have lost a lot of weight in a short amount of time, in those who have diabetes, and in women who have had multiple pregnancies and who take hormone replacement therapy or birth control pills.
What Causes Gallstones?
The primary function of the gallbladder is to store bile, a brown or yellowish fluid that helps the body break down fatty food. When you eat a meal, the gallbladder releases its stored bile into the cystic duct. From there the fluid passes through the common bile duct and into the small intestine to mix with food.
Chief among the ingredients of bile are cholesterol and bile acids. Normally, the concentration of bile acids is high enough to break down the cholesterol in the mixture and keep it in liquid form. However, a diet high in fat can tip this delicate balance, causing the liver to produce more cholesterol than the bile acids are able to handle. As a result, some of this excess cholesterol begins to solidify into crystals, which we call gallstones. About 80% of all gallstones are called cholesterol stones and are created this way. The remaining 20% consist of calcium mixed with the bile pigment bilirubin and are called pigment stones.
Gallstones can form even in people who eat properly. And as researchers have found, a diet extremely low in fat can also contribute to gallstone formation: With little fatty food to digest, the gallbladder is called into play less frequently than usual, so the cholesterol has more time to solidify. Other factors that can reduce activity in the gallbladder, possibly leading to gallstone formation, include cirrhosis, the use of birth control pills or hormone replacement therapy, and pregnancy.
Family history, diabetes, sudden weight loss, and cholesterol drugs, and older age can also increase risk for gallstones.

Our Solar System: In Order From the Sun
4 of 10
The story of Goldilocks and the Three Bears is also the story of Earth. It's a place that is neither too hot, nor too cold, but is just right for all sorts of life-forms to live and thrive. There are moons in the solar system that could potentially support life, but as of 2008, Earth remains the only planet where life is known to exist. Fun Fact: Is that Florida in the picture? Yes it is. This image was taken by an Earth-orbiting satellite as it was tracking Hurricane Isabel in 2003.

I want to have a generic class that implements Iterable (let's call it ImplIterable) of type T that implements an Iterable interface over some class (that isn't of the generic class type); for example:
public class ImplIterable <T> implements Iterable<A> {
private A[] tab;
public Iterator<A> iterator() {
return new ImplIterator();
// doesn't work - but compiles correctly.
private class ImplIterator implements Iterator<A> {
public boolean hasNext() { return true; }
public A next() { return null; }
public void remove() {}
Where A is some class. Now, this code won't compile:
ImplIterable iable = new ImplIterable();
for (A a : iable) {
But this will:
Iterable<A> = new ImplIterable();
for (A a : iable) {
I don't understand why the latter doesn't compile and why can't I iterate over ImplIterable if it properly implements iterable. Am I doing something wrong/is there some workaround for this type of problems?

Background... New to Nodal Ninja, but have been playing with pano for some time - recently borrowed a Manfrotto 303, and now wants to get a NN. Looking to be able to capture 360x180 + some smaller cylindrical shots - mostly outside in nature, or in city. Have Canon 500D (T2i) + Tokina 11-16mm lens, and thinking about trying out a Pelang 8mm at some point (possibly - but would like a solution that will work with the Tokina). Like to get out into nature and hike - so low weight and size is really important. Some examples of my recent panos - http://andy.bryant.name/pano/
I was just about to press the button on a NN3 complete package, but then I came across this site
Which says that the distance between the tripod hole and front of lens is max 107mm (or 129mm with t-adapter)
Mine is 135mm with UV filter or 130mm without.
I'm having trouble visualizing why this is going to be an issue. Is it a show stopper? Or workable?
I've also got a RRS L-shaped QR base on the camera which I would prefer to maintain in the solution (although taking this off isn't a big issue.
Would this QR clamp work - http://store.nodalninja.com/product_p/asqrc-2.htm

I've written some Objective-C in Xcode before, but I can't find any free software for writing HTML! I need to create a small website for an online course I'm taking, and figured that HTML is the way to go. Thank you for your help!
To be honest there aren't that many amazing and free editors/IDEs for websites on Mac OS. For some money there are a lot of amazing tools such as Sublime Text, Coda and Espresso to name a few. If you just need it for a short time it's not likely worth it however all of them currently provide some form of trial period.
Edit: Changed scripting language to markup language. Not sure what I was thinking.
TextWrangler is free, but packed with a lot of features.
Now I'm using Aptana- there is a stand alone version, and also just a eclipse-plugin. For HTML you don't need a special software, you can write it on every text editor. but it's really better and faster using a IDE
Personally I use a basic text editor with syntax highlighting, Tincta is my favorite, but try and find the best fit for you. Any text editor that can save plain text files would work, anything from echoing into a file to a commercial product like BBEdit or Textmate. If you're hunting for a free editor I'd check the Mac App Store, check out some classics like Emacs and ports (Aquamacs and Emacs for MacOS X), Vim, and GEdit, try TextWrangler, a stripped down version of BBEdit, and test out your google-fu. I'd put links in, but it only let's me put two per answer.
As noted you can use any editor for html but ones like Kompozer also provide some form of interactive GUI layout as well as text editing. (For more complexe text manipulation I would also use Aquamacs with the nxml-mode or other css/html modes)
Mozilla SeaMonkey
which is based on FireFox, and is free, has a Composer mode, which is a fine basic WYSIWYG tool for HTML authoring with some code-editing tools as well.
SeaMonkey is kept up-to-date and receives updates whenever there is a new version of FireFox. It is much more up-to-date than Kompozer, which has not been significantly updated in several years and has always been referred to as a "beta" product.
Technically, HTML can be coded using any plaintext editor, like TextEdit (which — strictly speaking — is a Rich Text editor, but can be forced to save as .html). While that's all well and good, it's really no fun. In fact, it's terrible. You don't see what your design looks like, and believe me when I say that coding without visual feedback is the worst.
I try:
I use Coda 2, it's not perfect but really smart!

Where do you like to hide your information?
By Lance Shaw on Feb 04, 2013
Good morning and welcome to Monday...
Here in the States, this is the day to recover from whatever Super Bowl festivities you might have had last night. While I personally wish my Patriots had been playing the Niners, there is always next year. But that same approach can get you in trouble when it comes to how your organization stores and provides access to information. The idea that you will "get to it next year" can end up costing you a lot of time, money and angst this year.
I recently had a little Q&A with Bryant Duhon from AIIM about managing information. We are planning for the upcoming AIIM show in New Orleans (http://www.aiimconference.com) and Oracle is pleased to be a platinum sponsor of the event. We hit on a topic that has been written about before but still remains a vexing problem for companies around the world. Over time, information that has real value, and needs to be reused or accessed by other colleagues is scattered across different locations and different systems - all of which are usually not connected to one another. These locations are often referred to as "information silos" because of how they isolate information within individual repositories.
Bryant asked me this question, "We've been talking about information silos in this industry for at least two decades; how do we move from talking to doing?" It's a good question. Clearly if it was so easy to do, it would not still be coming up as an issue! Personally, I've come to the conclusion that eliminating information silos is a worthwhile but not always achievable goal for most organizations. In my response, I stated that eliminating information silos has been the ideal scenario for many years. But the reality is that over time, organizations take on new technologies for information management but are unable or unwilling to wean themselves from the earlier, now legacy, technologies. Eventually a company may find itself with several different content management systems, each still used by one or more departments for a vital business function. Software vendors periodically attempt to address this problem with new technologies that often end up adding additional layers of complexity. IBM Lotus Notes and Microsoft SharePoint are popular examples of collaboration and information sharing tools that instead of delivering on the promise of simplified content management, have over time exacerbated the information silo problem for most organizations. The Cloud and its many variations, now offers a new take on this decades-old information management challenge, but that's a topic for another day.
So what is an information management professional like yourself supposed to do? Will you just throw up your hands and allow new repositories to keep popping up like so many groundhogs (slightly apropos this week) across the IT landscape? Well, that is not such a great idea either. The more disconnected your approach to information management, the more disconnected your vital business systems become, the more fragmented your operations become and the more inefficient your employees and colleagues will be. If anyone ever needs to find anything, they will first need to know where to start looking. Good luck with that!
The approach that often succeeds for many businesses is to take a step back, evaluate the information landscape and consider strategic improvements to how information is shared, utilized, archived and controlled. Then take positive steps to minimizing the number of repositories in use with an eye toward integrating as many business processes as possible around one "primary" information store.
Since content migration is frequently difficult or prohibitively expensive, the best opportunity for making actual progress on this front is for organizations to standardize on one ideal repository moving forward. When this is not possible, the goal should be to minimize and reduce the number of content repositories for all business applications moving forward. Using application integration frameworks and connectors, this new go-forward repository must be leveraged within the context of as many business processes as possible – which means that finding the right information management system that aligns with your overall business strategy should be one of the leading selection criteria.
Stopping the creation of new information silos is job one. Then over time, business processes and applications can be updated to take advantage of this new repository and legacy systems can be put into maintenance mode where older information is still accessible but no new content is being added. This takes time, proper planning, and a firm hand at the wheel that helps minimize distractions created by the latest shiny new technology in order to drive information management costs down over time. If you can spare 30 minutes or so, I recommend you take a look at a webcast we did here at Oracle about ways to think about consolidation and the rationale (cost savings!!) for doing so. Click here to register and watch it immediately.
You can read the rest of our conversation on the AIIM blog, here: http://www.aiim.org/community/blogs/expert/ECM-One-Repository-and-the-Key-Role-of-Classification. As always, we welcome your comments, suggestions, ideas and feedback here on the WebCenter blog. If I don't hear from you here, I hope to see you at the AIIM Conference in New Orleans next month!

I'm not sure how to get between those lines. If I take the partial of the fist line I get $$ [\partial_j A_i(x,t),E_j(y,t)] +[A_i(x,t),\partial_jE_j(y,t)] = -i\partial_i \delta(x-y) $$ So perhaps my question turns into: "Why is $[\partial_j A_i(x,t),E_j(y,t)] = 0$ ?" Thanks.


text: Ever wonder learning "how to draw realistically step by step" can be easy? Everyone wants to ride the short way to something they desire. I went through YouTube again (like I ever *stop* browsing YouTube) and found a great and lovely tutorial on this pretty sweet realistic eye. The artist is Mark Crilley, and he breaks down on how he draws realistic eyes. Drawing these types of things can be a bit difficult because of the intense details. I find drawing realistically is harder with all the shading, detailing, and the complexity overall. Watch the video thoroughly and you just might find something very useful! I hope you enjoy this video, make sure you try it out too. Peace out!

An awesome Mexican fast-food restaurant. Everything is extremely fresh, and you monitor the making of your food, and decide what goes in or out. They have good burritos, tacos, quesadillas, nachos, tortilla soup, and taco salad.
I eat Qdoba whenever I get the chance to. Unfortunately, I don't get many chances to.

After reading how great Qdoba was in the Urban Dictionary, me and all my friends went for overpriced beans and rice at our local branch.

WACO (November 8, 2012)--Santa Claus will arrive on his sleigh to Richland Mall Friday with a few tricks up his sleeve.
Shoppers will have an opportunity to download for free the new "Santa's Fun App" which will allow children and families to write letters to Santa, receive responses, and track his world-wide journey on Christmas Eve.
The first 300 children to visit Santa will get a free cookie from the Great American Cookie Company, hot chocolate from Auntie Anne's Pretzels, popcorn from Dippin' Dots, special holiday tattoos from W-Promotions and a special gift from the Arthritis Foundation.
Santa can be found at the mall Monday through Saturday from 10 a.m. until 9 p.m. and on Sundays from noon until 6 p.m.
He will be on hand through Christmas Eve
This Friday, to welcome his arrival, there will be musical performances, a holiday parade and an annual Christmas Tree Lighting by Santa.
He is expected to arrive at 5:45 in the food court to begin the parade.
Photo packages will be available for families that are interested.
To download the app, visit the Android Market or iPhone App Store.

I'd like to see a complete proof of the simplest version of the following rough statement: "If $f/g$ is a rational function on a reduced scheme ($g$ not a zero divisor), and $f/g$ doesn't have poles in codimension $1$, then $f/g$ is a well-defined function on the normalization."
I figure this should be called the valuative criterion of integrality (and if not, then maybe that's my problem). I can't find it in [Eisenbud], [Vakil], [Hartshorne], or [Vasconcelos]. There is a version of it in [Huneke-Swanson], but they're treating the more general case of integral closure of ideals than merely of rings, which obviously I should be able to downgrade from but would rather not if I don't have to. Where should I read about it?

Hello all,
I'm beating myself up looking and looking and looking, trying to determine which NN to purchase. I've been working my way toward spherical panos for years (wider and wider FOV) and have finally reached the stage where I'm ready to go all out. But I'm just not sure. Price point is an issue (when isn't it), but I also don't want to shortchange myself.
Here's the kit:
Canon T1i with battery grip (I have read all the pros/cons about keeping the grip on, and with all the other shooting I do in addition to panos, it's staying on.)
Opteka 6.5mm Aspherical fisheye (fullframe on APS-C)
Big old heavy Manfrotto tripod, and think I'm going to be picking up a Manfrotto 496RC2 Ball Head to go with. (Currently have a 3047 which I'll be selling, if anyone's interested.)
So, suggestions? Thank you for any help.
