YTT Core Modules
"Develop a passion for learning. If you do, you will never cease to grow."
Anthony J. D'Angelo
Techniques Training/Practice (TTP)
This module includes the study of Asana, Pranayama, Kriya, Chanting, Mantra, Puja & Satsang, Yoga Sequencing (The Art of Vinyasa Krama), Bandha & Granthi, Meditation and a variety of other traditional yoga techniques including analytical training in how to teach and practice the techniques, and guided practice of the techniques themselves.
There is a significant focus within this course to support you to gain knowledge, understanding and practical application of yoga techniques, and to teach these techniques and practices effectively to your prospective students with confidence. As a result we have created an innovative approach to comprehensively study the techniques of yoga practice as in depth study of asana as a teaching application through the Asana, Pranayama and Teaching Labs component and provides a compilation of information in both the theory and practical application of the principles and practices of Yoga techniques.
Teaching Methodology (TM)
This module includes principles of demonstration, observation, assisting/correcting, instruction, teaching styles, and the desired qualities of a Yoga Teacher, the students' process of learning and business aspects of teaching Yoga. The components of the Teaching Methodology units have been integrated within the Techniques Training/Practice module and are also applied in the Yoga class environment. In addition, we have created the Teaching Labs as a means to support you and your fellow students to focus on specific areas of teaching for the duration of the course.
Anatomy & Physiology (A&P)
Anatomy & Physiology is a fundamental and essential component of Yoga Teaching and is delivered from a holistic perspective. The A&P module includes both human physical anatomy and physiology, energy anatomy; yoga therapeutics and yoga research studies and includes both the study and application of the A&P principles of yoga practice. Areas of study include physical and energetic function of systemic holistic health, the musculoskeletal system, injury and recovery, biomechanics of movement and an introduction to yoga as a therapy. This is an area of study that is of particular importance to the western Yoga Teacher and is covered in a thorough, practical and concise approach in order for each Teacher Trainee to apply this knowledge in a practical way within the Yoga Class environment.
Yoga Philosophy/Lifestyle and Ethics for Yoga Teachers (PLE)
This module includes the study of Yoga Philosophies, Yoga Lifestyle, and ethics for Yoga Teachers and starts to look at ancient yogic texts, yogic psychology and Yoga as a way pathway of living. Areas of study includes the Upanishads, The Vedas, The Bhagavad Gita, Patanjalis Yoga Sutras, Koshas, Kleshas, Gunas, Devanagari Sanskrit, The 8 Limbs of Yoga and The Jnana Bhoomikas as well and the main traditions and practices of Yoga.

Sens. Sherrod Brown and Joe Manchin will co-sponsor a bipartisan amendment to the immigration reform package before the Senate that would require employers to give hiring preference to American workers before seeking a special visa for foreign nationals.
Brown, D-Ohio, and Manchin, D-W.Va., are joined by Republican co-sponsors Chuck Grassley of Iowa and Jeff Sessions of Alabama in introducing the legislation, known as the H-1B and L-1 Visa Fraud and Abuse Prevention Act of 2013. The bill would require employers to offer positions to qualified American workers before seeking a visa for a skilled foreign worker, and also would require them to advertise openings for at least 30 days before applying for such a visa.
"We need to make sure that foreign workers aren't being hired at the expense of American workers," Brown said.
In most cases, an H-1B visa allows a foreign national to remain in the United States for a maximum of six years without applying for permanent resident status. Employers that have pushed for the program's expansion, many of them in the technology sector, claim they can't find enough Americans who possess the highly specialized skill sets they require.
"I'm a little more skeptical of that," Brown said. "I think they should be giving preference to American workers who are equally skilled and trained."
Brown also believes many employers use the H-1B program to hire foreign workers at significantly lower wages than they would pay to a similarly qualified American. The Brown-Grassley amendment, however, would require companies pay prevailing wage to such visa holders.
Although Senate leaders expect to pass an immigration bill by July 4, the GOP-controlled House is being more deliberate in crafting its own reform package that includes stricter border enforcement and crackdowns on illegal immigrants already here that aren't likely to be included in the Senate version.
Proponents of the Senate bill say it provides those workers a pathway to citizenship without allowing them to gain citizenship before those who went through official channels, but opponents say the bill is too soft and amounts to amnesty for criminals. One Georgia lawmaker, Republican Rep. Paul Broun, even said he would not support any immigration reform package that doesn't make English the United States' official language.
Despite the apparent deep divide in Congress on the issue, Brown is confident the Senate's version ultimately will move forward.
"This bill will pass (in the Senate) with strong bipartisan support," Brown predicted. "That sends a message to the House of Representatives that they should act. I think the business community, whether it's in Belmont County or Toledo, want to see an immigration bill. They want to see this system fixed. ... There will be enough pressure from business, labor and community groups that they understand that they need to fix it. If (House Speaker John) Boehner brings it up for a floor vote, I have no doubt it will pass."

This question already has an answer here:
I've had Ubuntu 10.10 on my server since I bought it several years back. I've tried to upgrade in the past but I'm always thwarted by my company's firewall. I receive messages like these:
W:Failed to fetch http://security.ubuntu.co/ubuntu/dists/natty-security/main/source/Sources.gz 407 Proxy Authentication Required (Forefront TMG requires authorization to fulfill the request. Access to the Web Proxy filter is denied. )
I have my System > Preferences > Network Proxy > HTTP proxy set appropriately (to use Port 80 to get through our firewall.) But still no luck.
I'm looking to upgrade from Ruby 1.8.7 to 1.9.3 and I'm really hesitant to install RVM until I've gotten this Ubuntu upgrade successfully completed. Can anyone suggest what I might be doing wrong / need to change?

This one hour video will teach you a great deal in a short time, covering a wide range of topics and technologies. Here are a few of the technologies covered: SQL Azure, Windows Phone 7, ADO.NET Entity Framework, and Silverlight. Along the way, a lot of powerful tools are demonstrated Visual Studio 2010, SQL Server 2008 R2, Windows Phone Developer Toolkit, SQL Azure Migration Wizard. This screencast starts with the creation of a Silverlight application consuming an on-premise SQL Server instance using the ADO.NET Entity Framework.
Next, a double migration takes place. First, we migrate the on-premise database to SQL Azure using the SQL Migration Wizard. Next, we take our Silverlight application and port it to Windows Phone 7. By the end of the demo we have a Windows Phone 7 application consuming data from the cloud, specifically SQL Azure.
Presenter: Bruno Terkaly, Developer Evangelist, Microsoft Corporation
Starting with Turbo C and 8086 Assembler in the late 80s, Bruno has kept busy teaching and writing code in a multitude of platforms, languages, frameworks, SDKs, libraries, and APIs. Bruno's depth of knowledge comes from years of experience in the field, where he can bring real-world knowledge and combine it with forward thinking that is required for his current role as a Developer Evangelist at Microsoft. Prior to evangelism, Bruno was a Microsoft Premier Field Engineer, helping customers in remote locations on a moment's notice to help with extreme troubleshooting scenarios, including problem isolation and correction, live and post-mortem debugging, on-the-fly application design and code reviews, performance tuning (IIS, SQL Server, .NET), application stability, porting / migration assistance, configuration management, pre-rollout testing and general development consulting. As an evangelist, Bruno spends time writing code and giving live presentations on building cloud based applications, specifically using the Windows Azure Platform. He also takes a strong interest in Mobile Computing and is convinced that both mobile and cloud platforms, separately and together, are poised for huge growth over the next 10 years.

Over the past one hundred years, mathematics has been used to understand and predict the spread of diseases, relating important public-health questions to basic infection parameters. Matthew Keeling describes some of the mathematical developments that have improved our understanding and predictive ability.
Until you understand the basics of functions and algebra, the thought that a number can be predicted is a surprising one. And of course `magic' and `being surprised' are often the same thing. Rob Eastaway shows us how mathemagicians trade off the fact that you can usually predict precisely the outcome of doing something in mathematics, but only if you know the secret beforehand.
Adam Smith is often thought of as the father of modern economics. In his book "An Inquiry into the Nature and Causes of the Wealth of Nations" Smith decribed the "invisible hand" mechanism by which he felt economic society operated. Modern game theory has much to add to Smith's description.
C. J. Budd and C. J. Sangwin show us how to create mazes, and explain why mazes and networks have much in common. In fact the study of mazes and labyrinths takes us into the dark territory of murder, suicide, adultery, passion, intrigue, religion and conquest...
Arguably, the exponential function crops up more than any other when using mathematics to describe the physical world. In the second of two articles on physical phenomena which obey exponential laws, Ian Garbett discusses radioactive decay.
Chomp is a simple two-dimensional game, played as follows.
Cookies are set out on a rectangular grid. The bottom left cookie is poisoned.
Two players take it in turn to "chomp" - that is, to eat one of the remaining cookies, plus all the cookies above and to the right of that cookie.
Why can't human beings walk as fast as they run? And why do we prefer to break into a run rather than walk above a certain speed? Using mathematical modelling, R. McNeill Alexander finds some answers.

I'm trying to programmatically determine the current height and width of my application. I use this:
CGRect screenRect = [[UIScreen mainScreen] bounds];
But this yields a width of 320 and a height of 480, regardless of whether the device is in portrait or landscape orientation. How can I determine the current width and height (i.e. dependent upon the device orientation) of my main screen?

I want my game run at 60 fps, but i don't know where to start, i have the simple loop:
How do i lock the fps to 60?
I want my game run at 60 fps, but i don't know where to start, i have the simple loop:
How do i lock the fps to 60?
Sleep is a very bad idea for the reasons already pointed out - the only justifiable case to use it is for saving battery on mobile devices.
If you want to lock to 60 fps one way would be to measure the time that's elapsed since the last frame ran; if that equals or exceeds (1.0 / 60.0) seconds then run a frame. Of course you'll need a high resolution timer to get this right, and of course it's a busy-wait loop that will chew up CPU time, but it works.
(You might even find some useful work to do during that busy-wait period, such as updating dynamic resources or whatever).
Another way is to use vsync. Most monitors nowadays will run at 60hz, and those that don't are extremely likely to support it, so just enable vsync, set your refresh rate if needed, and run as normal.
There are a better solution to get 60fps, set vertical syncronisation (vsync) to true when you create Irrlicht device
For example, use this function:
Do you want to synchronize on vsync ? There are differents solutions depending on your platform. Search vsync on google. On directx, you can limit on fullscreen app with D3DPRESENT_INTERVAL_ONE or use WaitForVerticalBlank on windowed app.
Look this article
Depends what you mean by saying "you want to lock the game at 60fps".
If you want to limit the game rendering at max 60fps its very simple :
Each frame, just check if the game is running to fast, if so just wait :
Please note that if vertical sync is enabled, rendering will already be limited to 60fps.
But if you want to have your game logic locked at 60fps, no more no less, that's different. Then you have to separate code you want to run at 60fps from rendering code and make necessary changes to make sure that code is called at same fixed time intervals. It is called "fixed timestep". Make a search on gamedev or google. There is a lot of info on this.
EDIT : as Roy T. pointed out, code is not guaranteed to works because
If you are measuring time you also really need to be using QueryPerformanceCounter as timeGetTime jumps in large increments.
There is a fairly involved blog post on the subject of windows timing:
Also, if there are no other threads needing to work Sleep(0) will return immediately, you need to use SwitchToThread, and if that 'fails' call Sleep with a non-zero amount instead to actually go to sleep.
That said, I would still recommend using the vsync features, as that can be turned into a kernel wait on an interrupt behind the scenes and also context switch out properly while waiting, much like the sleep. Also, sleeping is a bit odd of a thing to do as you dont actually know when the vsyncs really occur, even with vsync enabled, so it is hard to sleep a proper amount and not miss the vsync on the next frame in a lot of cases (esp if youre CPU overhead is pushing 15+ milliseconds)

Toronto fire results in loss of residence
TORONTO - City fire crews responded to an early morning residential fire this morning at 1505 N. Fifth St., according to city fire reports.
The unnamed family, including a woman and an infant girl, got out safely, but not before fire gutted the house. Crews from the Toronto Fire Department arrived at 4:44 a.m. to a fully engaged structure fire, according to reports.
The blaze took about a half-hour to control, and firefighters were still on the scene as of 7:30 a.m. this morning. Crews from the Empire and Stratton volunteer fire departments also provided mutual aid, and no cause for the fire had been determined as of today. No injuries were reported.
Smithfield releases monthly report

I encountered an article on Dictionary.com that says that pennies are not used to refer to a sum of money but rather the coins themselves. It went on to say that the term pence was used to refer to a sum of money. I was rather dubious about this statement, partially because I never heard anybody say pence in my stay in USA. Can anybody back up this fact? I tried to google this, and the only source of information I got (other then UK currencies) that supported this was Wikipedia.

In America, it is always two cents, not two pence. Only countries that have pounds use the word pence, as far as I know. And those that do use pennies when they are referring to a number of physical coins worth a penny each, but pence when referring to a sum of money irrespective of which coins it is represented in.
I'm not aware that "pence" is used at all in the USA.
"Penny" is sometimes used to refer to a one cent coin.
In the United Kingdom, a penny is the official name of £0.01. "Pence" is used most of the time when referring to a a number of them, or something of that value.
"50 pennies" is likely to refer to 50 1p coins, whereas "50 pence" is more likely to refer to larger denominations coming to the same value.
In USA, penny is used for the 1 cent coin ($0.01), and I have also heard pennies being used to mean "a small amount of money," such as in:
As far as I recall, I have never heard pence being used as plural of penny, except maybe when referring to the British coins.
I have visited the East coast, from upper New York state to Washington D.C. I don't know if the usage of those words changes in other places.

Should I clean the engine area to remove years of built up grease and dirt? What are the benefits?
Sign up
- Anybody can ask a question

Aside from the general desire for cleanliness, there are couple things that come to mind:
Having a clean engine bay is really nice when you need to work on the engine, and it helps identifying leaks. There are a few things to be careful about when cleaning though.
If you clean it, make sure you disconnect the battery, let the engine cool, and then clean everything. Afterwards use compressed air to dry out all the electrical connections and blow the pooled water out of all the crevices (especially fuse boxes), then let it dry for a few hours (best to do on a warm day). Connect the battery and drive it for a good hour to get it hot and finish drying out.
On the downsides, when buying an used car, I'd be suspicious of vehicles with overly clean engine compartments (even though some dealers would do it as a matter of procedure to all cars they resale). This is usually an indication there is a serious leak somewhere which will almost surely be expensive to repair. This is more valid when purchasing a car from a private individual instead of going through a dealer.
So, you might not want to scrub it shiny just before reselling your car, but as a matter of maintenance, it positively won't hurt.

A wandering husband, rich and ruthless. A dirty cop so entrenched on the force he is immune to exposure. A sinister gangster, conscienceless and brutal.

I've been reading up on this phenomenon, which is slowly coming to be known as the Lolita Effect. The idea is that the media plays a large role in the fact that young girls, and boys, are growing up so fast. Heightened levels of sexual activity on TV, games, etc, not to mention the growing acceptance that being thin is the only way to be pretty and other such crazy things is what has been pinpointed as the reasons why this is occuring. I have to personally agree.
Take, for instance, the simple matter of Barbie and Bratz dolls. Barbie is able to do anything, but you only see her the same way. Blonde, blue-eyed, and with body measurements that would cause her to be unable to walk. Then we look at her competitor, the Bratz dolls. Of equally unrealistic measurements, these dolls serve no purpose except to teach young girls how to be "sexy". Just walk into the toy aisle at the store and you'll see exactly what I'm talking about.
While part of this is from the media, it also is from parents not taking responsibility. Sadly enough, sex talks need to come at a much younger age, but parents fail to see the differences between their era and the one which is approaching.
You might find this article interesting. I know I did. Just a warning, some sexual terms are within, so it is slightly sensitive material. Nothing inappropriate, just different, very common situations society is seeing now.
Grade-school Lolita: 'So Sexy So Soon' - Back to School - Today.msnbc.com
I noticed that alot last year. I saw a 6 year old wearing a tube top!
I even asked her if her mother let her wear that and she said she didn't care.
I see alot of little girls dressing inappropriate for their ages and it is sick.
there are a lot of parents who don't bother being strict on the children and the children get into alot of trouble later on.
I noticed it a lot in my dance class the last few years. All the girls would wear these VERY short shorts and skirts that even showed some of their underwear at times, and not only were they short, they looked super tight. These two girls really made me wonder what they'd grow up to be like. One was older than me, and I think she's maybe a freshman or sophmore in high school now. She always wore these really...well...****ty looking clothes. Another girl, who is younger than me and I think was in 2nd grade last year wore makeup like eyeliner and mascara. Her clothes weren't all that appropriate either. And on top of that, she had a real attitude and had pretty rude insults, especially for a girl her age. But it's not like she used curse words.
I have been noticing this as well their are a lot of young ladies getting fake i.d. to get into bars and clubs all the time lately and their attire is really sad especially when there is nothing to hold it up....
Agreed. The sad thing is, that a lot of these girls don't really think of the dangers of how they're acting. No girl asks to be raped or molested; however, they need to understand how not everyone in the world is nice and that there are a lot of men out there who would take the way they dress and the way they speak and act as an excuse to rape them or molest them. It's incredibly dangerous for a little girl to be dressing and acting like a wh*re; I blame the parents however.
The children don't understand why it's dangerous, so their parents need to tell them and to disallow them from dressing that way. Kids that age don't have an income, so the only way they're getting the clothes is cuz their parents are buying them. It's also a sad truth that in court, rapists' defence lawyers often try to prove their client's innocence by saying that the victim consented, or was "asking for it by dressing sexy".
Again, it's not fair, but who said life had to be fair? That is why so many rape cases go unreported, cuz victims think they won't be believed or that they'll be torn to pieces in court, just cuz they were wearing miniskirts and crop tops.
I could go on for days about this subject, but I'm gonna sum it up as this: The media needs to get a freakin' makeover. End of story. I feel absolutely disgusted whenever I see a little kid dressed up basically as a wh*re. At my schools, you are NOT allowed to wear those things, period, but when you hit highschool for some reason no one cares if the skinny girls wear sl*twear-for-teens, but if the pudgy girls do, they go OMGURBREAKINGDRESSCODE! and send you home. -.-
At m yschool doesn't matter if you're pudgy; if you dress like that all the time, you can get away with it. One day I woke late and accidentally picked out a skirt way too short for my standards, but long by theirs, and got into trouble. -.-
During the year of 05-06, 23 sohpomores ALONE got pregnant.
Elementary kids in my area have DATES. What happened to COOTIES?? T^T
Yes, it's not that the kids are acting too grown up; kids have always been that way. It's that they're acting gornw up for their day, and because the media portrays sex and dating as a grown individuals thing, the kids do it, too. It's the media that's to blame, not the children so much (though they could be taught what's actually right by their parents, the ones who are still super-young).
and my mom and I agree with Miranda; at walm-mart, we saw this young girl in a sundress that would've been cute if it wasn't designed for cleavage... the girl was about FOUR! my mom shakes her head and says it's the parents' fault.
My friend Becca's mom thinks that you should need a license to be allowed to raise a kid; it's hard work, certainly harder than driving a car, and too many people suck at it.
I know. I didn't date until I was what, 13? Now kids feel left out if they never had a boyfriend when they were 7 or 8. Back then, though I had small crushes, nobody really acting on those things and I just hung out with guys as friends. We never considered ourselves to be dating one another.
Actually, I've never owned a tube top in my life, and one one strapless which I wear under hoodies and stuff sometimes. I only own two skirts, and though they're a bit short, they aren't wh*re material. When I stand, they're mid-thigh.
I agree with spirit. If any girl at my school dresses sl*tty on a regular basis, it becomes okay. Yet if someone like me (I never wear shorts or skirts to school) came in with a short skirt and a strapless or tube top, I'd be sent home or forced to wear gym clothes. And I'm a size 0, about a 1 now, actually. So it's not that I'm 'pudgy'. I'm not being racist, but at least at my school, it's most of the Serbians. However, not all of them are like that, and they aren't the only ones, but I have noticed that pattern. No matter what grade they are in (9-12), they 'popular' Serbian girls are all way over-tanned (one freaked out on the bus after remembering she hadn't tanned in a week), they have dyed bleach blonde hair, put on too much makeup, and all wear revealing clothes. They all have fairly bad attitudes and yet guys ask them out. I wonder why...? -.- Keep in mind that's only this one group of them. I have a Serbian friend, and she's got brown hair, un-tanned skin, and doesn't overload on makeup. Plus she's nice. She's like the anti version.
And girls have been losing their virginity so young now. I keep hearing about 8-12 year olds losing it and claiming that they were mature for their age and looked older. Yeah right! T.T It's just so sickening. What ever happened to waiting until you were with the guy you wanted to be with for the rest of your life? What happened to love before l'ust? Parents need to wake up and try to fix this before it gets out of hand.
But, yet, it's hard for even good parents; my mom is a great om, yet even i was awareof certain things... good thing I'm both stubborn and pretty naive (still am on certain topics, but not many left to be neaive in now).
So I think the focus for parenting should be that you don't need to fit in to succeed, you don't need a boy or to get laid to be cool, and individuality is faaar better. That's my opinion; the sex influence of our culture can't be entirely avoided, so parents must talk to their kids and teach them good virtues, the whole lovely on the inside stuff.
And sadly, a lot of girls seem to think that all they have to do in life is have babies. -.- They also are so naive, they think their baby daddy is going to stay with them and they'll have a family. What actually happens is that the girl is blinded by the dust as her baby daddy runs for his life, and she's left bringing up a baby that demands a hell of a lot more attention than her Bratz doll does... and she's still a child herself.

WHEELING - The current government shutdown could be the first step toward more gridlock between House Republicans and Senate Democrats, as Rep. David B. McKinley indicated Wednesday any measure to raise the nation's debt ceiling won't pass the House without spending cuts.
McKinley, R-Wheeling, also said the House's decision to tie passage of a federal spending bill to making "needed" changes in the Affordable Care Act was necessary to fix the bill, which he admitted is the "law of the land."
"The real mission ... is to try to correct it," McKinley said of the health care law.
The House's attempts to change Obamacare has led to the shutdown.
About 80 Republicans in the House and Senate are reported to have signed a letter authored by Rep. Mark Meadows, R-Cashiers, N.C. suggesting the House tie amendments defunding Obamacare to bills that would fund government operations. This group of 80 is being blamed by some for the government shutdown.
McKinley said Wednesday he had heard of the letter, but had not read or signed it.
"I think it's a distraction from what we're doing," he said. "Rep. Meadows is a friend, but I will not necessarily support his position."
McKinley said House Republicans "knew full well" legislation to defund Obamacare would not pass, but they thought the measure would at least start negotiations between the House and the Senate. Instead, Senate leaders opted not to negotiate the House bill.
House members then passed another bill to delay implementation of the Affordable Care Act by one year, and it also has not been acted upon in the Senate.
Both President Barack Obama and Senate Majority Leader Harry Reid, D-Nev., have said they will not negotiate on the health care issue with House Republicans, and they also will not consider any bill to keep the government running that includes amendments.
"This is not where we wanted to be - we did not want to shut down the government," McKinley said. "Anyone who would suggest otherwise is just playing politics.
"We have 800,000 people now who have been furloughed. That's painful for those families, and not what they anticipated. Now we've got to find a way to find an end game. ... I don't like it, but we're here now. We've got to find our way back through it."
McKinley also said House Speaker John Boehner likely won't bring a debt ceiling vote to the floor without spending reductions.
"If we don't get some kind of spending reduction ... I don't think it will pass the House," said McKinley. "John Boehner will not bring it up unless there is something attached to it."
McKinley listed a number of Democrats among his friends in Congress. Among them are Mike McIntyre of North Carolina, Diana DeGette of Colorado and Bobby Rush of Illinois.

A violin concerto composed by music faculty member Allen Shawn has been commissioned by the Rochester Philharmonic Orchestra (RPO) and was performed on Thursday, March 11, and Saturday, March 13, at Kodak Hall at Eastman Theatre in Rochester.
Shawn describes the concerto, which will be performed by RPO Concertmaster Juliana Athayde, as "a singing, lyrical piece," with the first movement beginning with a "wisp of an orchestral idea" heard again in the third and fourth movements. "The concerto was composed shortly after I had written three piano Elegies," Shawn told the RPO, "and the tone of loss struck by this movement resembles that of the elegies."

I'm working on a calculus problem and I need a push in the right direction.
The problem is:
I've played with it for hours but I can't figure out where to start. Thanks!
I'm working on a calculus problem and I need a push in the right direction.
The problem is:
I've played with it for hours but I can't figure out where to start. Thanks!
Do a $u$-substitution with $u=1-5\cos(x)$.
What do you know (calculus-wise) about the relationship between cosine and sine?
HINT Try a u-substitution with $u = 1 - 5\cos{x}$
The problem with "let $u = 1 - 5 \cos x$" is that, for beginners, it comes out of left field. Experts – even not so experts – see that substitution immediately. My own suggestion to my students was that you should check any integral against 4 kinds of known integrals: the integrals of powers $u^n$, sine, exponential, and $\sec^2$ (you have to know this one). That short list stands for more things: for powers, the special case $n = -1$; along with sine, the cosine; along with $e^u$, be prepared to consider $a^u$; in addition to $\sec^2$, $\csc^2$.
Having that list in your head, before you rush to integration by parts or general substitution, ask: is there some substitution that turns this given integral into one of those four?
In this case, the integral is certainly not $\sin u\; du$, $e^u\; du$, or $\sec^2 u\; du$. Is there any chance that it's $u^n\; du$?
If it is, then $n = -1$. that is, ask what happens if the stuff in the denominator is $u$, i.e. what happens if you set $u = 1 - 5 \cos x$. Compute $du$ and see if it collapses to $u^n\; du$. (Of course, it does.)
So if the substitution isn't obvious, this checklist gives you a suggestion of what to try.
For more detail about this approach, you could look at this post on my blog:

Twenty Five Things I Hope To Teach Aston
1. Always replace the toilet paper when the roll is empty. It's called being prepared.
2. At some point an ahole will offer you a cigarette. Look him straight in the eye and say, "No thanks, I'd rather not die."
3. Don't use the word ahole, because it makes you sound like one.
4. Open doors for girls. And while you're at it, hold them open for boys, too.
5. But don't be a doormat.
6. Take care of your body. For the most part it's irreplaceable.
7. Rely on your charm and intelligence as survival skills.
8. Never judge a person by where they live or what they drive. Unless it's a Smart Car. Then you can judge a little.
9. Be generous without any expectations of anything in return. Donate often. And (when possible) anonymously.
10. Listen to your father. Except if he's giving you wardrobe advice.
11. Don't tell lies, large or small. They're unnecessary.
12. Say please and thank you.
13. Always spell correctly. Even when texting.
14. On the subject of texting, don't ever send naked pictures of yourself through a phone or computer. Ever heard of Anthony Weiner? Google it.
15. But don't use Google to learn about life. Read books. Talk to your grandparents. Listen to cassette tapes. (Yes, cassette tapes. Seriously. Google it.)
16. At times you will fail. Often even. It's okay. But don't expect that anyone will be as upset about it as you. Learn and move on.
17. See as much of the world as you can.
18. Try to understand what other people need.
19. But that doesn't mean you have to give it to them. Don't commit to a girl unless you're really, really, really, really, really, really, really sure (especially if either of you are under thirty).
20. The same goes for tattoos.
21. Always cheer for the Chicago Cubs. And visit Wrigley Field often. Take your dad.
22. Dance in the rain. Play in the mud. Roll in the grass. Forget that you're wearing your good shoes.
23. Familiarize yourself with tax laws. Have a relationship with an accountant you can trust.
24. It is not okay to run in the street after ice cream trucks. Unless you're chasing your father or getting me a Fudgesicle. Then it's fine.
25. We love you. If you learn nothing else, know that we love you.

I have a confession & huge apology to make. I tried to find your email to message you separately to this posting and failed!
In response to your comment on my wee, tiny blog I realised that I called Aston "Ashton". A major naughty- I hate when people get my name wrong. So the apology- I am so sorry I got your wee ones name wrong, please forgive me ;o)

1. This post is beautiful.
2. Haven't heard from you in a while, so I'm assuming you've popped the kid out. I hope everyone is happy and healthy!!
3. I have an 8-week pregnant friend whose husband deployed -- you guessed it -- just shy of 8 week ago, and she's suffering from horrible nausea. Like... all the time. I thought that sounded a bit like your ordeal, so if you have any advice/tips I could give her on what to eat/not eat, I'm sure she'd greatly appreciate it. :)

Amanda, we hope so.
Candice, the ice cream truck is probably the wisest advice we have. Aside from Andrew's dance moves.
Deb, fingers crossed. FINGERS CROSSED.
Tasha, the nachos are what keep me coming back. And the Chicago dogs.
Cindy, aw. Thank you. You're nice.
Chacha, nope, he continues to elude us.
Stephani, it's been a bumpy week, but we're still baking. Any day now.

Every day I check in to see if you are still waiting and how you are.

Part in Dying Swan!! That makes it worth the price of admission even if all the new works turn out to be awful. Yippie. Please Please give Part an opportunity to perform Other Dances too. Does anyone else find it odd that Paloma, Gillian and Michelle are not listed for any roles. I thought they were appearing with the company at Avery Fisher.
Respectfully disagree about Dying Swan. I think it quite strange that it is thrown into the program. I really don't want to see it with Part or anyone. On the other hand Part in Other Dances would be intriguing.
I too wonder about Paloma, Gillian & Michelle. Are they not there? Why would Reyes be there and not the others?
I hate the listing of a cast as "company." Couldn't they please say who is dancing even if it is 8 or 10 or 12 people.
Looks like good opportunities for Boylston. Good for her. I have loved her in some things and found her not quite up to the task in others, but definitely a talented young lady - one to watch.

Yes, I was excited to see Shevchenko on that cast list! She's young and new and I've only seen her on video (clips from her performances at the Moscow Ballet Competition, where she took the gold medal), but from what I can tell she's a potential star. Incredibly strong technique and a certain regality and elegance that belies her age.

Casting is up for Other Dances at Bard and at Avery. Casts are Part/Gomes and Murphy/Halberg.
When I checked last night, October 4's "Other Dances" at Bart was Murphy/Hallberg, and I bought a ticket. However, by this morning, the same performance is indicated to be Murphy/Gomes
Posted 24 September 2009 - 04:22 AM
Posted 24 September 2009 - 06:32 AM
This is so frustrating! I've had my Oct 4th Bard tickets for a long time hoping for a Hallberg performance and was delighted to see the casting for Other Dances. After waiting so long to post the Other Dances casting and then to change it overnight - why??? Of course I'm never sad to see Gomes!
I of course don't know the reasons, but here are one possibility:
Switching to Gomes gives Gomes another performance, which may be helpful in maintaining Gomes' involvement at a more meaningful level this fall when Hallberg is getting some many prominent performances during this period. Hallberg is already the male lead in the "first team" of the new Ratmansky work, and has several Avery Fisher performances of that. Hallberg also has several "Other Dances" performances at Avery Fisher.
Gomes "only" (relative to Hallberg) has the danseur role in some of the new Millepied work's performances and his role in "Other Dances" this fall at the ABT. (I appreciate Gomes was the lead danseur in the On The Dnieper piece, the last new Ratmansky but Hallberg was also featured in that piece in the fiance role. Note I am not suggesting competitiveness between Gomes and Hallberg, but noting the above just as a matter of maintaining equilibrium between two leading ABT "younger" principals.)
I appreciate that Hallberg and Gomes each have an abundance of riches when it comes to being cast in various ABT performances, in contrast to somebody like, Cornejo, who only appears as the second-listed danseur role in the new Ratmansky work, behind the featured Hallberg. But I think Hallberg deserves this prominence! (As does Gomes, not that Cornejo doesn't.)

Can writing in the third-person limited omniscient POV include internal monologue and character thoughts?
Depends on what your "limit" is.
If you are limiting yourself to one character, then yes: the Harry Potter series is told in third person limited omniscient, and we get Harry's thoughts, but no one else's (other than two or three specific chapters in the entire series). But if something doesn't happen to Harry, or if he doesn't see it or hear about it, then the reader can't know it.
If by "limited" you mean that you are telling the story as though you are describing a movie, so the reader can see actions going on at any place or time and focused on any character, but can only observe the action through the five senses, then no: you aren't giving anyone's POV.
Pick one and stick with it.
Constant switching between third-person and character thoughts is definitely considered bad style (advice taken from here: http://www.amazon.com/Write-Novel-Them-Misstep-Misstep/dp/0061357952, funny and useful book btw)
However, if you are telling someone's story throughout the novel - then is acceptable if you would also write down the protagonist's thoughts.

If you've ever been against a good jungle Olaf, you probably know how devastating he can be... his clear speed is insane with blue and his ganks are annoyingly strong if he lands his first Q, which if you go too far to dodge you'll be worse off than having been hit. So... what are some ways to counter him? As a mid laner? As a jungler?
He simply is strong. Its like saying "what counters a shyvana jungle". well... nothing. His ganks are strong. Ward correctly and push out (its really hard to gank for a olaf if the lane is pushed, cause if he comes form behind and throws a axe, he has to run past you to pick it up -> easy escape), or alternativly freeze the lane as long as possible, since Olaf is strongest in the early- mid game phase (first 4-5 lvls). Dont invade, he will destroy you. As mid or jungler, ward your own jungle entrances, if he trys to counterjungle get him with 3-4 people. Since most Olafs take Ghost, he is actually fairly easy to kill if you "find" him in your jungle, since he cant just flash over a wall. If you know the enemy is jungling Olaf in champ select, pick Champs that have early escape or high mobility champs in general (Ahri, Gragas, Galio for mid, Shyvana, Lee Sin, Noc for jungle) and just avoid fighting him in the early lvls.
EDIT: Jungle Olaf is REALLY blue dependend. Means after lvl 7, he is not that big of an problem anymore. If you have a really really strong lvl 1 setup, you can invade and get his blue, resulting in him beeing weaker through the rest of the game. Dont try this if your lvl 1 isnt really good, cause Olaf himself is a beast lvl 1, spammable, 2 sec cd aoe nuke with his Axe will win him nearly every lvl 1 fight.
How to counter Olaf Top?
tl;dr - Very hard/Impossible
It depends from his summoner spells. If he has Ghost this means that he is unable to dodge your poke damage - focus on building that. If he has Flash he can't chase you down with Ragnarok - rush boots and laught at him trying land his Q.
But general tips is buy early boots and take great ranged poke champ... if it fails be ready for line swap with bot.
How to counter Olaf Jungle?
tl;dr - Not so scary if played properly
In general - your jungler must be better than Olaf making him "babysit" one of lines.
Good luck!
WARDS! I don't beleive that he's a good ganker because he only has a slow, and unlike Shyvanna or Mundo he can't run exhaust. Just ward enemy wraiths and ask your jungler to ward the other side on the river. He can't gank from the lane. If you still fear him, then get a mid lane with an escape: Kennen, Fizz. these two are almost impossible to gank if played smart.
There are a few things that can fight a double buffed olaf. Lee sin is pretty good if you're planning to invade. The most important thing to do if you want to shut Olaf down, but this is more of a general tip, is to deny them their buff camps and or kill them at their buff camps. Olaf is vulnerable to this because he tends to be very low in the jungle. Something like Shyvana or Lee Sin is what I would invade with, and kill him at his red. As a mid laner, Morgana, Ahri, generally anything that has some method of escaping his ganks. Olaf hates being kited.
Very good counter olaf is Jarvan (if we talk about jungle).
he can escape very easily from Olaf's axe + he does good dmg and his ulti is very good.
Mid Olaf? Never seen that :)

Editor�s note: This is the final installment of The Durango Herald�s weekly roundup of campaign news.
A 4-year-old Fort Collins girl made international news and gave voice to the nation this week when she burst into tears while listening to a radio news story about the presidential election.
�I�m tired of Bronco Bama and Mitt Romney,� Abigael Evans said through tears in a video her mom posted to YouTube.
Her mom assured Abby that it will all be over soon.
But before it�s over, Coloradans are getting to see just a bit more of Bronco Bama and Mitt Romney.
Romney campaigns today in Colorado Springs and tonight at an outdoor concert venue south of Denver.
Vice President Joe Biden will be in Pueblo and Arvada today.
President Barack Obama returns Sunday for a rally in Aurora with singer Dave Matthews. Romney�s running mate, Paul Ryan, will be in Castle Rock on Sunday evening and Loveland on Monday morning.
It will be Obama�s 13th trip to Colorado this year and Biden�s second. For Romney, it will be his 12th trip, and the sixth for Ryan (including some multiday visits).
Vote in person: Early voting is over. Also, voters still holding on to mail ballots need to make sure their county clerk receives the ballot by 7 p.m. Tuesday. Ballots must be at the county clerk�s election office � postmarks don�t count.
Early voting results: Republicans held on to a lead in early voting as of Friday morning, the most recent numbers. Early voters include 547,000 registered Republicans, 509,000 Democrats and 391,000 unaffiliated.
The numbers show only voters� party registrations, not which candidates got their votes.
Poll position: Obama reclaimed a slight lead in the Real Clear Politics average of Colorado polls. As of Friday morning, he led 48.6 percent to 47.7 percent after trailing Romney for several weeks.
Countdown: Three days until Election Day.

A skill is an ability that allows a character to perform some action or make some item that improves with use. The improvement depends on the difficulty of the action or the difficulty in creating the item. Professions are a subset of skills. Not all skills are professions.
There are a few skills that don't improve with use.
Types of class Skills Edit
Currently, only rogues and death knights have class-specific skills. The rogue-only skills are:
- Lockpicking – Required Thieves' Tools before patch 3.0, but no longer needs an item.
- Pickpocketing – Does not improve with use.
Poisons– Prior to patch 3.0, it worked like a profession. It has been removed from the game as a skill, and poisons are instead purchased ready to use.
The death knight only skill is:
- Runeforging – Allows death knights to engrave runes into their weapons, offering a variety of free weapon enchantments. Requires a runeforge.
Types of combat Skills Edit
Combat skills have a maximum skill level of 5 * your current level.
- Defense skill – Improves your ability to avoid attacks. Some gear adds defense rating, which raises your defense skill above its normal maximum.
- Weapon skills (Melee and Ranged) – Each weapon type has an associated skill.
- Unarmed combat skill – Used for Fist weapons or fighting bare-handed; there is no separate fist weapon skill.
- Wands skill – Only usable by mages, priests and warlocks. This is a ranged weapon skill.
Types of language Skills Edit
Currently there is no way to learn a new language, except the Murloc quest chain in Borean Tundra (although this skill won't appear in the skills interface).
- Alliance (Common, Darnassian, Dwarven, Gnomish, and Draenei)
- Horde (Orcish, Troll, Taurahe, Thalassian and Gutterspeak)
- Neutral (Goblin, etc.), not available to Player characters.

Vatican assails new leaks
The Vatican issued a statement Saturday calling a new leak of its internal documents "a criminal act" that must be prosecuted. The statement called for prosecution not only of the leaker but also "those who received stolen property" - that is, evidently, Gianluigi Nuzzi, an Italian journalist who came up with a trove of papal records for his new book, Sua Santita, or His Holiness.The Vatican said it will seek "international cooperation," which I assume means that it will press Italian authorities to prosecute even the journalist. The publication of the leaked documents is not a "journalistic initiative," the Vatican insists, but a crime.I don't know what protections Italian journalists have; Nuzzi seems to be reveling in the attention, as any author might.One imagines that only a fairly small circle of people would have access to the private papers of Pope Benedict XVI. Despite what the Holy See says about the vile nature of these leaks, I continue to suspect that the leaker is taking the only available avenue to reform a bureaucracy that treats corruption too casually. Who is the leaker? Someone with a conscience, is my guess.
About the Author
Paul Moses, a professor of journalism at Brooklyn College/CUNY, is the author of The Saint and the Sultan: The Crusades, Islam and Francis of Assisi's Mission of Peace (Doubleday, 2009) and An Unlikely Union: The Love-Hate Story of New York's Irish and Italians (NYU Press, 2015).

The leaker may be somebody who desires revenge against Pope Benedict XVI for a real or imagined slight against the leaker personally, not somebody who has a conscience regarding the priest-sex-abuse scandal.
Wow. Amazing how the oft cited snail pace of the Vatican can, when there is urgency, spring into quick and decisive action...Yet during the Maciel scandal and inter alia, all the abuse scandals in the US and Canada that wound their way into the Vatican, we were told how slowly the machine of the Vatican moves. Here...bing...bang...boom.But I am surprised that in the land of Italy, they would not have the famous Chicago political line down to a science. "Never write if you can speak; never speak if you can nod; never nod if you can wink"But such is the strength and weakness of the Catholic church. Everything has a record.
This is promising. Maybe the Vatican will really implode after all. How many more books does this guy have in him?
The Spirit works in strange ways: leaks, prosecutions, tomb openings....For an overview of the current papal situation, please read, "More Papal Fears For Children, Women, Nuns, Priests & Gay Persons--Do Only Cardinals Matter To Our Pope?", accessible by clicking on at: http://www.bilgrimage.blogspot.com/2012/05/gerald-t-slevin-more-papal-fe...
How does a good conscience ever prompt one to do a wrongful act?
Here is an AP report on the story: http://www.google.com/hostednews/ap/article/ALeqM5hl0fuHXFyGK9lPv8wqDcVf... journalistic ethics on this aren't clear to me. How does one distinguish between the public's right to know and a public official's right to privacy?
Jim P. -- You can read the beginning of the book and decide for yourself. From the Table of Contents and first few pages, that's a lot more than I really feel much need for regarding Vatican intrigue. http://issuu.com/chiarelettere/docs/sua_santit__per_sito/4
If you will excuse Vox-Clara-style translation, this is the author's teaser list of letter subjects: - letters Boffo, - the former director of the palace burned tissue, - Vigan forced to resign, - private donations (including those of Bruno Vespa), - the recommendations to Gianni Letta, - the problem according to the ICI confidential reports of the President of the IOR Gotti Tedeschi,- the case of Ruby and Berlusconi ("the victim of a politicized judiciary"),- the incredible 007 shadowing of the Vatican in Italian territory,- the truth about the Legionaries of Christ and pedophilia in testimony never made public,- the excesses of many bishops throughout the world. - Even a secret meeting between Napolitano and the pope that no one knows. - Father Julian Carron, leader of Cl that accuses the diocese of Milan to political sympathies.
The Roman Empire does not believe that the truth will set you free.
I think that Benedict understands quite well (but not well enough) that the Church's reputation was badly damaged by the scandal, and his instinct to initiate a press office that would respond immediately to matters of public interest was a very good one. Fr. Lombardi is the best thing to happen in the Vatican in generations. Plus there are no doubt those in the Vatican who want to make this new openness even wider. HEnce the leaks. (Or maybe a lowly secretary is just making copies for money? Could be.)But another side of Benedict still wants to hold on to secrecy as the Vatican's preferred m.o. Poor man. I do feel sorry for him. He must feel quite conflicted.
God bless the leaker! The documentary film needs to come next.An answer to the Holy See's use of diplomatic status to exempt themselves from ever having to disclose documents to any court/plaintiff about criminal actions. Thanks to Jack Barry for the Italian translation. Publisher: English translation subito, please.
If the leaker is found, he will never work in this church again. In my experience with leaks, the leakers tend to over- rather than under-, estimate what might happen to them. So I think the Vatican is looking for someone in a very responsible position (access across a range of issues) who expects to be shown the instruments if he is caught. People don't leak until they have been pushed beyond endurance.It would be good if the Vatican showed the same care and concern for looking after the money it is given for specific causes as it does for looking after the pope's privacy. But, of course, the issue isn't the pope's privacy either, is it? It's preservation of the royal mystique.
There is something no one likes about a leak, but surely they are sometimes justified. As Carolyn says. it is wrong for the Vatican to exempt itself from just law. The only defense here is to break the privacy law.I wonder who did it. Give that man a medal.
If much correction of recent history turns out to be required due to this book's display of Vatican documents, all the recent talk about the new Vatican openness is unfortunately going to look like a lot of hot air, deservedly or not. As an example, the Italian paper La Repubblica says roughly: "now the dust rises again with the disclosure of the letter Boffo". The letter is said to show that a report 2 years ago in L'Osservatore Romano, approved and ordered published by the Pope, was not accurate [my word]. I join Carolyn's request for English translation subito (and analysis, prego). http://www.repubblica.it/esteri/2012/05/19/news/lettere_papa-35470692/?r...
Another example of how Vatican curia/omanita is an out of date and problematic governance.
From the AP report:"Vatican spokesman the Rev. Federico Lombardi said in a statement Saturday the book was an 'objectively defamatory' work that 'clearly assumes characters of a criminal act.' "I'm no lawyer, but how is it that the pope's OWN correspondence can be considered defamatory? Can one defame oneself? And if one's own correspondence is thought to be shameful enough that, if said by others, it would be defamatory...I agree--God bless the leaker. Let's hear it for conscience, even if anonymous. Let's call him "Deep Chalice." (Didn't Nicodemus first come to Jesus in the dark? And he turned out all right...)
I think they're overworking "objectively." It's getting to be almost as common in Vatican statements as "authentic."
La Repubblica is already calling them or her or him "gole profonde" - deep throats in the sphere of the church.
"I think theyre overworking 'objectively.' I do, too. But maybe they will stop overworking "intrinsically" to make up for it.
When authenticity gets to be as problematical as it seems to be these days, some lexicographic obscurantism probably feels comforting.
We know why Queen Elizabeth won't resign [big ears and wife]Why does BXVI hang on ? All cardinals have big ears.
" --- a public officials right to privacy ---"They certainly don't have that in the US. Who says that the Servants of the Servants of God should be skulking around bleating about leaks and a lack of privacy?It also gives an interesting new twist to wanting to take a leak." -- Give that man a medal." But what if it is a woman - or am I starry-eyed in thinking that a woman would have access to the info that is being leaked? Ya never know, kids.
Jimmy Mac --Women in the Vatican are a rarity. And I doubt they'd let one get anywhere near something important.
Jimmy Mac -- German Benedictine nuns take care of the papal household. We have heard enough lately about US religious women to know the extremes of which some have imagined them capable. Among the possible suspects in the document leakage case is someone yet unknown who had unusual access to the pope's quarters. If you are drafting this up as a novel, that has the makings of a good part.
Jack B. ==I read recently that the head nun at the papal household has a great deal of influence on the Pope. She has even been appointed to a dicastery. I think the article was in LaStampa, but, sorry, I can't find it.
Jack: if that is true, then those nuns would be able to hide VOLUMES of information in the flowing habits that they undoubtedly wear. Secret pocket could be sewn in. The possibilities are virtually limitless.You go, Benedictine nun! To the barricades! You have nothing to fear but fear itself - and being shuttled back to some unheated convent cell as punishment.
Jimmy Mac -- You may be right. Consider a nun always in the same plain habit (with big pockets) passing inconspicuously through the quarters every day as she discreetly does her mundane tasks. Who could be more invisible and have better access than she does? And, when a pair goes out for their daily walk, they're much better equipped to slip goods past security guards than with an odd briefcase or paper bag. I doubt that nuns get frisked. Fences are available to ease transfer to the author, according to La Repubblica. Motivation remains the question. Perhaps the three over-80 cardinals the Pope appointed to chase down leakers will report soon.
I think this Vatican episode is hilarious!God bless the leaker(s).(and B16 can go take a leaker. oops, he can't: he's celibate)
"Who could be more invisible and have better access than she does?"I suspect that to be true with almost ANY lone or almost lone woman in that Bastion of Maleness. Besides, their garb/dresses aren't nearly as fabulous as many that pass by them each and every day, so why pay attention to them?
It was a nun who discovered poor John Paul I dead in his bed, with papers in his hand, and glasses on.(But when the men took over, a man was credited with the discovery, and the papers and the glasses disappeared.)
Aha!It seems that the new book 'His Holiness" does posit a woman as the leaker. See the article in LaStampa by Andrea Tornielli which identifies source of the documens as "Maria as she is called".http://vaticaninsider.lastampa.it/en/homepage/blog-sacri-palazzi-en/deta... is sounding more and more like a Peter Sellars comedy. Only it's not funny.
I'd think this is funny except those who love to glorify Rome/Romanbita/Vatican need to get a balanced perspective.Then ther's the tomb opening overthere looking for a girl lonng missing whom a prominent exorcist posits was kidnapped and kiled because she was used for sex parties there.I wish that instead of trying to continue to project a pristine image, they'd stick to preaching the Gospel.
[...] 18 months in prison for stealing confidential Vatican documents that he leaked to the news media. As I had suspected, it appears the motive behind this caper is high-minded: What the butler saw as one of the few lay [...]

11 Best Movies about Pregnancy and Babies
Cravings, contractions, spit-up, and diaper changes – what better fodder for a cinematic comedy than pregnancy and new parenthood? Whether you're expecting a baby or just love a good comedy, sit back and enjoy others clumsily navigating pregnancy, birth, and beyond.
1 of 12
What to Expect When You're Expecting
This is a movie spinoff of the popular What to Expect book series. The all-star cast, including Cameron Diaz, Jennifer Lopez, and Elizabeth Banks, play five interconnected pregnant/expecting women and their fumbling hubbies or partners. The movie plays out a lot of those pregnancy clichés we've seen before (i.e., laboring woman swearing at frightened husband), but does it well and has some fresh fodder, too — poking fun at uber-trendy baby names, awkward older dads-to-be with trophy wives, and other cringe-worthy aspects of modern parenting.
Rated: PG-13

To summarize, Rabbi Yosef Messas (pronounced "Mashash") (born about 100 years ago in Morocco, served as rabbi in Northen Africa and then later in Haifa) allows it in a responsum, Mayim Chaim II OC 110:
Though some claim he was only referring to specific communities, where if he didn't allow it, they would stop keeping Torah, etc.
This is one of the many, many sources cited by Rabbi Michael Broyde in a recent article in Tradition, in which he argues as a limud zechut -- to judge favorably on the many noble women who sacrificed (and still do today) tremendously to keep Torah, shabbos, kashrus, taharas hamishpacha, etc., but did not cover their hair.
Rabbi Broyde argues that the requirement for any hair covering for married women is culturally relative; he has a few acharonim such as the above, plus some readings of Rishonim on various Gemaras to support that view. He then goes further to suggest the Tur and Shulchan Aruch (whose wording on the subject follows the stream-of-consciousness style of the Gemara, not the clear reorganization that Rambam uses) could be read that way as well; on this point, many disagree.

The August issue of Environment & Climate News offers several articles addressing myths about health hazards in the natural environment. Among them:
- PCBs -- the Pennsylvania Chamber of Business and Industry has filed a friend-of-the-court brief with the Pennsylvania Supreme Court urging it to overrule a jury verdict scapegoating Solutia Inc., formerly Monsanto, for the costs of rebuilding a state-owned building after a fire. The fire released trace levels of PCBs--well within federal health standards.
- Air quality -- two recent reports--by the American Lung Association and Pacific Research Institute/American Enterprise Institute--reach dramatically different conclusions about the air we breathe. Though it received far less media attention, the PRI-AEI report was more accurate and more informative than the biased ALA report.
- Secondhand smoke -- a 38-year study tracking more than 100,000 Californians has concluded secondhand smoke has little if any impact on mortality. "The study suggests that the public's fears--and the politicians' ideas--about how we are affected by [environmental tobacco smoke] may be misguided," comments Kimberly Bowman of the American Council on Science and Health.
This issue also covers the release of EPA's new Draft Report on the Environment; energy issues (natural gas and ethanol); forest management vs. fire suppression; pollution of rivers in the Columbia Basin by the Army Corps of Engineers; a new grassroots army building in the West; how animal cancer tests overstate human cancer fears; the science of climate change; and more!

Would you like to see the finished cabinet project from last Thursday?
Last Thursday I ask people to vote on which photo I should use for a cabinet finishing project. @belyndag asked me to post a photo of the finished project, so here it is. Bob put in the shelves and I cropped, glued and lacquered the photo to the cabinet on Saturday. It's in my office now.
I also sanded, lemon oiled and polyurethaned this worn out parquet table for my deck. The chairs will get some love later.
I am really looking forward to when the trees leaf out in the next couple of weeks.
14 Answers answer
I know I will get downvoted for this, but I do not care I am going to say what is on my mind...
Nice! Looks really good!
Looks great! Can't quite figure out how tall it is, but it looks wonderful! So does the parquet table. We had one very much like that years ago when we were first married. MIL dumped it on us because it was so ratty. We spent days sanding it down and refinishing it. Came out great! A week later she came by to visit and saw it. She immediately decided that she needed it back. Urgh. Not the last time that happened, either.
I think I have the same patio set on my boat, or one much like it. Ours came from Cost Plus/World Market. I refinished it last fall and am not terribly happy with the results. Let me know how yours comes out. I think I need to tackle mine again.
@belyndag: The cabinet is 30" tall. It was a display model of a kitchen cabinet that a flea market vendor picked up when the store went out of business. So it didn't have shelves and had some raw sides. On the dech furniture, I think mine came from World Market. I remember it sold out right away and the manager felt bad when I called, so when they got three sets in on a follow-up truck he set one aside and called me to come get it. It originated in Vietnam and was just dripping with oil when it came. It's so shapey it's very hard to try to do anything with. I need a 55 gallon drum of polyurethane to just dip it in. The environment on my deck is brutal, strong winds and merciless high desert sun magnified by the "cool deck" coating. Nothing lasts for long up there. But in the evenings it is bliss.
Here's a pic of the little table I painted for my reading area. I tried posting it before but I'd forgotten to step down the file size. Every room in my house has a theme, and the theme for the yard is sunflowers, with dragonflies in the back yard and butterflies in the front yard. I have scads of dragonfly themed outdoor decorations back there. That's why I painted the table with sunflowers and a dragonfly. You can't really see it in this pic, but I used glitter nail polish over metallic acrylic paint to give the dragonfly some sparkle, and coated the top with spar varnish.
Nice job...do you hire out? :)
Glad I helped pick the winning photo...it looks awesome!
@moondrake: The table rocks too, my wife can paint with shading like that, I have no idea how it is done.
@moondrake: Beautiful stuff! I've never even tried to do things like that!
I suspect that the deck set is the same. We bought a set because it looks so much like teak (I think it's really acacia wood or something like that), and looked wonderful on the back deck of our old boat. Unfortunately, with the heat and humidity here it was covered in mildew after a few years. I used a chlorox-based cleaner to clean it off and it stripped the finish. Once I started, I had to strip all of the pieces. We were leaving the next day to take the boat to a wooden boat festival so I had to refinish it with the only product I had on hand. The color came out looking like pine. Rather yellow. DH likes it, but I miss the teak color.
We tried to buy another set last year, but everything sold out too quickly. We keep watching the World Market ads for another set. It was a great deal and the stuff is really comfy!
Chock full of awesome.
@jsimsace: Sure, but I think shipping would be prohibitive. LOL. It was really easy, you could definitely do it yourself.
@caffeine_dude: It was a real rush job, my friend arrived just as I was setting up wanting to go to lunch, so I only got an hour to work on it. My blending technique is pretty simple as well. I lay down a thick layer of the dark color on one side, a thick layer of the contrasting color on the other side, wipe the brush, then drag the extra light paint toward the dark. When I get close I start dragging the extra dark paint to the light, and blend them in the middle with just a swipe or two. You just have to be sparing with the blending, as the color gets muddy if you blend it to much on the piece.
Thanks everyone for your support and kind words!
@belyndag: Mold only happens in the refrigerator around here. It's so arid I can forget about a load of clothes in the washer and come back a few days later to find them dry. Wrinkly but otherwise no different than if I'd put them in the dryer. Coasters are rare because beverages don't sweat. I think our furniture needs an environment midway between yours and mine. I'll bet your boat is very beautiful.
@moondrake: do you say happy little 'happy little trees' when you do it?
@moondrake: The humidity here is a challenge. Great for some things, not so good for others. You're right. Somewhere between your climate and mine there is something more comfortable.
And the boat is "a work in progress." The story of even getting it here is a wild one. I haven't updated the website in a long time, but you can check it out here.
@caffeine_dude: If it's working I am thinking silly things having to do with the Light Side and the Dark Side of The Force and how most of us are blended in the middle. If it isn't working I am saying things not permissible on Woot.
