Trying to guilt trip people about social costs isn't going to work. There are real benefits to not having to support a family, and it is personally fulfilling to know you don't have to be responsible for someone else in uncertain times.

Under the current US system, those without children are helping to pay for the
education of other's children. This is done under the premise that
eventually they will see a benefit from this contribution. If the tax/social
security structure is changed so that those with children pay less (or none at
all) into social security, or the retirement money collected from their
children's pay checks is earmarked as for them only, it is entirely
possible that the pushback will result in those without children not helping to
educate children who will provide them no benefit.
The article hints at but does not explore one major flaw with the premise of continual growth. It is mentioned in the article that urban density leads to less kids. The article points to suburban living as a solution but than says that only works as long as there is space for suburban growth. Keeping in mind we need a certain amount of land for food and resource production, space is a limited commodity. The model presented in the article requires constant population growth - what happens when we run out of space for suburban living?

A very interesting article, but the writer neglected an important part of the equation - immigration. The statistics focused on industrialized nations, but the birthrate has not dropped off nearly as much in Latin America and Africa. The elderly in industrialized places could be cared for by those born in poorer countries. The host countries would be affected - for instance, Europe will increasingly become Muslim, the United States more Latino, etc. Yes, cultural heritage might be lost and the demographics of nations would change, but I doubt we'd see the end of the human race. The more "conservative" parts of the globe are still having children. They'll just create a world very different from the one we know.

Time goes by so fast.... If I had somehow been DISTRACTED in my twenties from marriage and having children, well, I would not now, as a so-called senior citizen, have the life-long companionship of my thirty-something year old children and a posterity with which I am so happy and honored.

Maybe we can all be like Britney Spears and divorce through text message or have
a 48 hour marriage.
Kim Kardashian marriage? x7 weeks?
You want to see what is brining any 'harm' to marriage?
Look at the ones who abuse it.

There are certainly a lot of people (married and single) who like to focus on
this subject and think that they can generalize the profile of those who are
single and married without children (and married with children).
Yes, there are certainly single people who have decided to remain single and there are a lot of couples who have chosen not to have children. But there are also a lot of single people (myself included) and married people without children who didn't expect to be in the situation we are in.
That being said, why penalize someone or a couple because they didn't have children? We all need to be good to each other, no matter what our personal situation. And, we should all strive to be happy, productive, and fulfilled people. I spend a lot of time supporting nieces, nephews, and children of my friends and I believe in family and care deeply about mine.
Remember - everyone has a story and no statistic will ever tell it. We need to respect, support, and love each other no matter what our personal set-up is.

Different strokes for different folks. I'm married 18 years with three kids. Would I wish that for everyone? Of course not. Not everyone wants a family and a fancy house, picket fence, two cars parked outside. That reality is not shared by or desired by all. So why worry about it? The population of the earth is nearing 7 billion people. We should be glad that not everyone is choosing to propagate the species. If we're so worried about people growing old single then we probably should be embracing marriages between consenting adults regardless of the gender make up of each partner. Something else we ought not be worrying about.

As mentioned, immigration keeps national populations growing throughout Europe and America. Like in all of nature, species compete for space and resources. It's only the european related groups and the mainland chineese groups that have chosen habits that will remove them from the planet. Eventually, America will be a hispanic nation, while Europe will become Middle Eastern and African.

All the people who choose to be single may be unpleasantly surprised and forgotten senior citizens. Who will care for the elderly? Without children or extended families, I foresee the extremely costly warehousing of millions of elderly in the coming years. People living the "me first" life early on will reap sorrow and abandonment to, at best, a sterile system in their final years. Life is a bell curve with dependency on others at both ends of the curve.

I'm the oldest of six, have five children from 29-39 yrs old, none married,
no grandkids. My sister 11 yrs younger has 6 grands, 5 from one 29 year old!
My sis two years my junior has 10 kids (3 steps), and 10 grands. No rhyme or
reason, no forced marriages...
But my southern Cal "pagan" children are not stressed about getting hitched or procreating under threat of a bioligical clock. They'd rather "do it right". While we all love the cousins and grandkids immensely, it is obvious which families have the bulk of the work. Maybe mine are reticent about jumping into the diaper bag life, maybe they love their toys and sports too much...
But I prefer the grankids' arrival with the anticipation of planned acceptance, to the hectic lives the cute little "oopsies" caused! Oh, wait- I had a few of those myself back in my Mormon days. Darn that Brigham Quiver-full Philosophy!
At least there's no regrets for the lives God sent into each home. That should be the goal.

With 6 billion people in the world, we need to promote the idea of single-for-life and staying childless. The earth can only support just so many people before we run out of resources. It is irresponsible and selfish to have more than two children.

The historical fact is that society depends upon families for survival of the race and survival of the culture that collapses in the absence of the family. It is no wonder there are so many violent acts on a nearly daily basis as there is no common respect for life and that unfortunately starts at the very top of government. Disrespect the smallest life and soon disrespect for all life.

One of my granddaughters and her husband have chosen to have one child. That child will be faced with the care of her parents plus the four grandparents as they age. I'm assuming I will be dead as will be her other great grandparents. If she marries a man who is also an only child, They will be faced with the care of 12 parents and grandparents. This is an impossible tasks. There will be no one to share the burden. I'm not even considering the possibility of that couple having a child. Multiply this scenario by millions and society will not be able to handle the care of the aged who will have to be abandoned left to their own devices. Probably euthanasia of the aged will be the answer unless they have someone to agree to care for them.

Before one has kids they should be able to show that they can-
* Provide for them - ie- be able to SUPPORT Them
* Be an on hands Parent - Social Services is not suppose to raise your children and neither is their grandparents.
The government has chosen to reward un-employed people by paying them to have babies. And to pay them extra if each new child born is from a different father. (How many Baby Mommas You Gots) So those who have 5 or 6 children can be paid quite well. Sadly when our government signed all those trade agreements ( Nafta Gatt) the manufacturing jobs by the millions went with them. So instead of working they manufacture babies as their job.
These young yuppies think that traveling the world , picking up and moving whenever the mood strikes them is what life is all about, well they will miss out on life's biggest joy - holding their newborn , watching their kids grow up and fly the nest and all in between. And then one day the grandkids start arriving and the cycle repeats.
But each has to seek their own path and not all have what it takes to be a parent.

I installed VMware Player on my Windows 7 PC. Now I downloaded ubuntu (ubuntu-12.10-desktop-i386.iso) software from http://www.ubuntu.com/download/desktop .
I installed ubuntu via the instruction at http://www.howtogeek.com/howto/11287/how-to-run-ubuntu-in-windows-7-with-vmware-player/ .
It is version Ubuntu 12.10. Now I have the ubuntu installed and it shows up in the left corner when I double-click on VMWare Player icon.
How do I get the UNIX like prompt in ubuntu here? I tried all icons but I find no ways. The documentation in the above link shows there are "Applications" ->"Accessories"->"Terminal" menus that takes it to the UNIX like terminal. But I do not see such options.
I anticipated something was wrong and I reinstalled ubuntu and that gives the 2nd ubuntu(2) icon in the VMWare screen.
When I double-click "Ubuntu" or "Ubuntu(2)", I get the other screen (E2.jpg). Could you let me know how I get to the terminal? Thanks a lot.

Categories: Entertaining, Finger Foods, On the Grill
Type: Main Dishes
Type: Main Dishes
Bell peppers, onions, and lamb make the perfect kebab, and the lemony taste of sumac adds a distinctly Middle Eastern flavor.
Serves: Serves 4
- 2lb (900g) boneless leg of lamb, cut into 1in (2.5cm) cubes
- 2 red onions, peeled and halved, each half quartered
- 2 red bell peppers, cored, seeded, and halved, each half quartered
- 1/4 cup olive oil
- Kosher salt and freshly cracked black pepper to taste
- Juice of 2 lemons (about 1/3 cup)
- 1/4 cup extra virgin olive oil
- 1/4 cup roughly chopped fresh oregano
- 1 tablespoon minced garlic
For the yogurt:
- 11/2 cups plain yogurt, whole-milk if possible
- 1/2 cup peeled, seeded, and diced cucumber
- 1/3 cup roughly chopped fresh mint
- 1 teaspoon ground white pepper
- Kosher salt to taste
For the pita:
- 4 pieces pita bread
- 2 tablespoons olive oil
- 1 tablespoon ground sumac (optional)

Add to shopping list
- Build a fire in your grill. When the coals are all ignited, the flames have died down, and the temperature is medium-hot (see Gauging the temperature), you're ready to cook.
- Combine the yogurt, cucumber, mint, and white pepper in a medium bowl and mix well. Season with salt to taste, cover, and refrigerate.
- Combine the lamb, onions, peppers, oil, and salt and pepper in a large bowl and toss to coat. Thread the meat onto skewers, alternating with the peppers and onions. Put the skewers on the grill over the coals and cook until the vegetables are tender and the lamb is done to your liking (4-5 minutes per side for rare). To check for doneness, cut into a cube; the meat should be slightly less done than you like it.
- When you put the lamb on the grill, rub the pita with oil and sprinkle with sumac. Place them on the cooler side of the grill and cook until nicely toasted and slightly charred in a few places (2-3 minutes). Remove from the grill and cut each pita into quarters.
- When the lamb is done, push the kebabs off the skewers into a bowl, add the lemon juice, oil, oregano, and garlic, and toss gently to coat. Transfer to a platter and serve along with the yogurt and toasted pita.

The 5 Most Incredible Things Ever Done Purely Out of Spite
For some of us, all it takes to get our creative juices flowing is a cup of coffee and a few minutes of free time. For others, nothing short of a three-day coke binge and a Pink Floyd laser show can spark their imagination. Then there's a whole category of weirdos who require an intensely burning grudge match to get anything done.
Here are five things that would have never been given life if not for humanity's undying capacity to never let a thing go.
#5. Chinese "Nail Houses"
If you've been paying attention for the last 15 years or so, you know that China is like a rapidly but awkwardly developing teenager -- they're growing so fast that their pants don't fit right, and their boobs are a little lopsided. In the midst of all this haphazard and frantic development, there are a few people who refuse to vacate their government-owned homes to make way for new Chinese strip malls. Builders call them stubborn nails because they won't budge.
Homeowner Luo Baogen, for example, refused to allow the government to demolish his home in Wenling in order for a new road to be constructed. Saying that the money offered wasn't enough for him to afford a new crib, he remained the lone holdout long after all his neighbors had left. Undeterred by the presence of one uncooperative human, the Chinese government just built the road around the home, leaving Luo Baogen and his wife a tiny patch in the middle of the asphalt.
Reuters/China Daily
Seriously, how many people have hit that pole?
In 2007, Wu Ping and her husband, Yang Wu, refused to give up their home in Chongqing to make way for a shopping mall. Officials tried to keep them off the property (they'd excavated the area around it so that it was situated in the middle of a massive pit), but they woefully underestimated how utterly badass this particular couple was. Yang was a martial artist, so he managed to scale the cliff leading up to the house using a pair of fucking nunchakus; after Chuck Norrising himself to the top, he unfurled a Chinese flag from his roof, as well as a banner that said "no violation of legitimate private property."
Zhou Shuguang
Horton Hears a Holdout
Sometimes really extreme measures are warranted. In one town, residents wouldn't vacate their homes to make way for an office complex, so developers rerouted an entire fucking river to encircle their houses. Using bulldozers, the construction crews created a mini river that was "as deep as a man and twice that wide." Then they cut the residents' power and fresh water so they ended up as squatters in their own houses.
Imaginechina/Rex Features
It's kind of sad and kind of supervillain lairish at the same time.
#4. The Gay Pride House Across the Street from Westboro Baptist Church
We all dream of the day we can get recognition for doing what we love. Members of Topeka's Westboro Baptist Church are no different from the rest of us. It just so happens that what they love is using the funerals of American soldiers and celebrities to get publicity for their hate-filled anti-homosexual agenda. Can WBC members help it that they are the skid marks on the underwear of the world? Of course they can, that's why they make us so mad.
Monika Graff/Getty Images News/Getty Images
Yoda's speech from Phantom Menace apparently fell on deaf ears.
After seeing a 9-year-old boy stand up to the church by holding a sign that said "God Hates No One," one nonprofit organizer was inspired to do the same, but in his own way. Aaron Jackson looked up the church on Google Earth and happened to notice that a house across the street was for sale. Now, while most people would sooner take up residence in the depths of hell than live next to the world's most famous hate group, Jackson was in the market for housing for his group's volunteers and a place to make a point. Six months and $83,000 later, the house is now the property of Planting Peace ... and it's gotten a paint job.
They also got rid of all the closets.
Every time members of Westboro Baptist Church go to church, they are lambasted with the colors of gay pride. Even better -- the WBC's founder's granddaughter now works with Equality House to bring attention to bullying. We guess there are worse ways to spend 80 grand.
#3. Fences Built by Sheer Hatred
Robert Frost once tried to convince people that "good fences make good neighbors." It turns out it also works the other way around. Sometimes shitty neighbors make shitty fences -- on purpose. There's even a name for barriers created explicitly to piss off someone else: spite fences.
For instance, in 1876, railroad investor Charles Crocker built the mother of all spite fences to stick it to his less wealthy neighbor, an undertaker by the name of Nicholas Yung. Except for the lot owned by Yung, Crocker managed to buy up an entire city block, and all that was standing between him and his plans for total block domination was Yung, who refused to give up his sexy slice of real estate pie. In retribution, Crocker entombed the undertaker's house in a concrete wall so high that it required support from buttresses.
Eadweard Muybridge
Not pictured: the prejudice porch and the hate hedges.
Although the fence did prompt Yung and his family to move, they refused to give Crocker the satisfaction of buying their land. After Yung died in 1880, his wife took up the pissing contest torch and kept the land until her death in 1895. In 1904, relatives sold the property and the wall came down ... and then less than two years later the entire area was completely wiped out by the 1906 earthquake and fire. Because karma's a bitch.
A hundred years later, spite fences are still being built. When his neighbors in a new subdivision started complaining about the smells, mosquitoes, and dust that emitted from his working farm, Rhett Davis offered to pay for half of the cost of putting up some normal fences. They refused, because a fence would block their view. So he built a fence anyway -- three demolished cars planted nose down in the dirt in front of his farm. He calls it his "Redneck Stonehenge."
"It's on, it's on like Major Kong."
Of course, we could point out that three solitary cars aren't enough to hack it as a Stonehenge imitation, but let's not keep pushing the guy.

Does anyone know the differences between apt-proxy and apt-cacher or know of a better package proxy cacher for Ubuntu? I used apt-proxy, but it hangs in weird places and gives me weird errors sometimes. It is written in python, Apt-cacher is Perl but seems to be more stable, but slower on updates. Anyone with other experience?
Use approx. I had continuous issues with apt-proxy, switching to approx solved all my problems.
If you read both of these you should be able to figure out the difference.
The apt-proxy is used to get packages from a remote machine. The apt-cacher is used to create a local proxy for packages.
I have used mod-proxy in apache to provide this service in the past. With proxy-cache, it seemed to work better than either of these solutions.
Squid with a cache may also do. There are the squid-deb-proxy package for caching, with squid-deb-proxy-client for cac autodiscovery of the cache.

BIRMINGHAM, Ala. (AP) -- A lawyer for Don Siegelman says the former Alabama governor is disappointed with the Supreme Court's decision not to hear an appeal of his bribery conviction.
Attorney Sam Heldman of Washington says the case now goes back to a federal court in Montgomery, where U.S. District Judge Mark Fuller has ordered a new sentencing hearing for Siegelman.
Heldman isn't saying what kind of sentence the defense might request.
The Supreme Court refused Monday to review the bribery convictions of Siegelman and former HealthSouth CEO Richard Scrushy. Siegelman was convicted of selling a seat on a hospital regulatory board to Scrushy in exchange for $500,000 in donations to Siegelman's 1999 state lottery campaign.
Siegelman is free on bond after serving nine months of his original sentence of more than seven years.

WELLSBURG - For lunch or dinner, Antonio's Pizzeria offers a variety of pizzas, sandwiches and sides.
Located at 1446 Charles St. near Wellsburg Primary School, the take-out pizza business is owned by Anthony Taibi of Follansbee and Matt McGowan of Wellsburg.
The two met in 2009 while working for HealthWays Inc., and each had considered starting their own business. A pizzeria seemed like a good choice because of the Ohio Valley's love for the dish and Taibi had worked for 10 years at an area pizza shop, they said.

To accommodate a lunchtime clientele, the shop is open from 10:30 a.m. to 11 p.m. Monday through Friday and from 3 p.m. to 11 p.m. Saturday and Sunday.
They deliver to all of Brooke County and downtown Weirton and can accept credit cards upon delivery.
Taibi said pizza and other dishes, including spaghetti and meatball dinners, made from authentic Sicilian and Italian recipes and fresh ingredients, also set their place apart.
For their meatball and sausage heels and ham and cheese, Italian and turkey hoagies, the pair use homemade buns made by Taibi's wife, Holly, while the meatballs are prepared by his grandmother, Hazel.
Antonio's Pizzeria offers pizza pies or squares, small or large, and several specialty pizzas, including buffalo, barbecue and Italian chicken, Italian supreme and white.
"Our biggest seller, besides pizza, are our large calzones," Taibi said.
The menu also includes chicken and deluxe (with meats) salads, pepperoni rolls, bread sticks, cheese sticks, cinnamon sticks and cheesy garlic bread.
The two said their new business has received a warm response from local residents and they hope to spread word of it through their Facebook page also.
"Everybody's been pretty supportive down here," said Taibi, who has been a member of the Hooverson Heights Fire Department for 12 years.

5 Real-Life Stories of Twins Creepier Than Any Horror Movie
Twins get a bad reputation from movies: They are shown as either satanic beings or parent-trapping little brats. Well, this reputation may not be completely unfounded. If you feel bad for being so creeped out by twins, let us share with you some true stories that range from merely weird to downright bone-chilling.
#5. Swedish Twins Inexplicably Go Insane at the Same Time
Swedish twins Ursula and Sabina Eriksson had no history of mental illness and lived normal, happy lives with their respective families. Then, one day, Ursula traveled from the U.S. to Ireland to visit her sister ... and what followed was a spree of violence and shared madness that resulted in several traffic accidents, one murder victim, and a whole bunch of baffled cops.
Sabina and Ursula were in Ireland when, for unknown reasons, they hopped on a bus to London without telling anyone. The twins were apparently behaving like hooligans whose team had just lost, so the driver kicked them out in the middle of the highway and told them to walk it off. They did just that: They started walking in the middle of the highway, not giving a shit about the speeding cars.
At this point they ran into a group of officers who were being filmed for a COPS-like show for the BBC. The cameras captured every batshit insane moment that came after that -- the video that follows at times looks staged as hell, but it isn't. There's a real murder conviction to prove it. That's just how British people talk.
As seen in the video, the twins were detained by the cops and appeared calm, until Ursula sprinted onto the highway and ran directly into the wheels of a truck.
Sorry, a lorry.
The cops hadn't even had time to react when, seconds later, Sabina did the same thing and was struck by a car.
But don't worry, the officer was able to keep the jacket safe.
That wasn't the end of it. Despite the whole "car just struck her" thing, Sabina got up and attacked the officers -- it took six people to contain her. Ursula was raging too and probably would have done the same thing if, you know, her legs hadn't been broken and stuff.
Afterward, Sabina calmed down and was behaving so normally that the cops released her the next day. This proved to be a huge mistake: Hours later, she murdered a man who offered her a place to stay and then launched herself from a 40-foot bridge. She survived, somehow, and was sentenced to five years in prison. Why only five years? Because lawyers had no trouble proving that she was crazy as all fuck when all of this happened. But, if Sabina was the crazy one, why did Ursula jump onto the highway, too? Neither of them had traces of drugs or alcohol in their bodies.
Although one of them could have very well been affected by gamma rays and then gotten angry.
According to psychologists, one of the twins suffered from a form of temporary insanity, and the other was "infected" by her twin's madness -- their bond was so strong that when one lost her shit, the other did, too. They have both since been declared sane, but we're guessing they're not so big on family reunions anymore.
#4. Twins Separated at Birth Live Parallel Lives
Hemera Technologies/Photos.com
Twins can be freaky, but we all understand why they're so disturbingly alike: Not only do they share the same DNA, but they also tend to grow up surrounded by the same people, playing with the same toys, and doing the same activities. They were most likely traumatized by the same cartoons and disappointed by the same birthday presents. It's when they don't do any of those things and still turn out exactly the same that you should be freaked out.
Take Ohio resident James Edward Lewis, who married a woman named Linda, but divorced her and married a woman named Betty, with whom he had a son named James Alan. Lewis had been adopted as a baby, and when he was in his late 30s, he tracked down and met for the very first time his twin brother, James Arthur Springer ... who married a woman named Linda, but divorced her and married a woman named Betty, with whom he had a son named James Allan.
Via Kronosworld.nl
And he was also adopted as a baby. What are the odds?
After this story was first reported by the press in 1979, James and James were contacted by psychologist Thomas Bouchard, who wanted to study how similar twins can be despite growing up apart. It turns out the twins had even more similarities: They both had dogs named Toy as kids. They both liked math and carpentry in school but hated spelling. They both had jobs in law enforcement -- Springer as a deputy sheriff and Lewis as a security guard. They both got headaches at the same time of day. They both had the weirdest reunion conversation ever after meeting a long-lost brother.
Via Dnatestingblog.com
They both made vastly different but equally baffling hairdo choices.
This sounds like complete bullshit, but it isn't the only case of its type. Even when twins are raised under radically different circumstances, they still end up having a lot in common. Case in point: Oskar Stohr and Jack Yufe were also separated as babies, only this was in Europe, and in the 1930s. Stohr grew up in Germany and joined the Hitler Youth. Yufe was raised a Jew and moved to Israel. One drew swastikas in his notebooks; the other wore a yarmulke.
And yet, despite being as different as two human beings can be, when they met in their 50s they found that they spoke alike, liked the same foods, and shared oddly specific habits, like wearing rubber bands on their wrists or flushing the toilet before using it.
Via Developmental Psychology
Yeah, we can see a Nazi doing that, but how do you explain Jack?
Experts think that this isn't so weird: Stohr and Yufe are genetically identical, so it's normal that they should react the same way when exposed to the same everyday experiences (foods, rubber bands, toilets). The fact that one was Jewish and the other a former Hitler fan is irrelevant, genetically speaking.
#3. One Twin Does the Crime, the Other Does the Time

In 1993, police arrested Ronald Anderson for assaulting his estranged wife. The only problem was that Ronald Anderson had already been arrested for the same crime days earlier, and records showed that he was currently serving his six-month sentence in prison. They checked. He was still there.
Before the time-travel division could be called to untangle the apparent paradox, though, a friend of the wife-puncher cleared everything up: Ronald had a twin named Donald who had a habit of going to jail for his brother's crimes.
Darrin Klimek/Digital Vision/Getty Images
"Wait, let me get this straight ... you're lying in order to get into prison?"
In total, Donald says he voluntarily served four sentences for Ronald, simply because he loved his brother and believed he wasn't ready for prison life. It all started in the '70s when Ronald signed up for the Army and went through months of training, only to decide at the last minute that he didn't want to be shipped off to Korea to serve as a helicopter mechanic. Ronald said, "What the heck, I'll go for you" -- he'd fixed a few cars in his neighborhood, so how hard could a helicopter be?
Since no one caught them (Donald became a crew chief in Korea), the twins kept pulling the ol' switcheroo every time Ronald got into trouble. Donald had some run-ins with the law himself and insisted that his bro was too soft and delicate to spend time in prison ... despite the fact that Ronald was a violent criminal who repeatedly threatened to murder his wife. When a judge told him to cut that shit out and sentenced Ronald to six months in jail, Donald once again stepped up and turned himself in, pretending to be his brother. Apparently they didn't bother to check his fingerprints because they didn't know he had a twin, never mind one stupid enough to take his place.
Thinkstock Images/Comstock/Getty Images
"Nah, it's a formality. We just like making dudes' hands all dirty."
Unfortunately for Donald and his prison-loving ass, Ronald got himself arrested five days later for attempted murder, battery, and robbery and was sentenced to 14 years inside, in addition to the six months he tried to skip. Investigators worked on the thesis that the twins had planned everything to give Ronald an airtight alibi to murder his wife, but eventually realized that it was a case of extreme brotherly love. Meanwhile, Donald still maintains that he would love to serve the jail time for his brother if he could.
Via Jet Magazine
"Because I'm Donald right now. Yep, not Ronald speaking here, secretly outside jail."

I'm working on a ASP/MS SQL project that performs a lot of calculations based on dates and time. In one case, the system will lookup a value based on the nearest half hour increment throughout the day.
When designing the database should I create a lookup table with just the increments, for example: 00:00:00, 00:30:00, 01:00:00, and then create another table with the value and a FK to the hour increments? Or should I include the time increments in another column with the values? Or should I not include the increments and build the business logic within a function or stored procedure?

Is there any way to check the availability of iOS app names?

Questions on Ask Different are expected to relate to Apple hardware or software within the scope defined by the community.

I haven't seen that option in the Apple Developer Program, but you can reserve a name.
After you reserve it, you have 120 days to upload a binary (You have to create an app in the iTunes Connect system). After 90 days, you receive a notification from Apple, saying that you only have 30 days left to upload the app. Once the 120 days are past, "the app name will then be available for another developer to use."
I also believe that if you do not upload anything, bad things happen to your account, but I can't verify this.
Other than that, I haven't seen a mechanism like "google" for name searching. (Apple might as well do that at some point!).
Yup, fire up your iTunes Connect account and try to create an app with the name you're looking for. Of course, that does limit you to 120 days before you must submit code...

- Some go straight (usually the tanks).
- Some go right
- I always go left.
It's an old habit. Whenever I enter a room, both in RL and in game, I head left. As long a my right arm is free to swing a punch, or a sword I am happy.
I'm in the right place – Left.
Of course there is a downside to this. If there is a pat on the left, or the tank leans to the right and clears that side 1st I can get a nasty shock when a mob taps me on the shoulder to ask me why I am there.
Bad BG Human AI.
I dare say it makes me predictable in PvP too.
You may think mobs have pathing issues and are so predictable that they become insignificant.
What about the low health doesn't-want-to-be-Suicide-Mage that enters combat from the same path every time.
I know there are some Horde players that just sit there waiting, their crosshairs trained at the spot that I will predictably appear.
I like to think I play like an Over of Cricket. 5 consistent, predictable bowls, followed by a yorker, a bouncer and a googly all in one.
If only I remembered to play that last fireball differently to the 1st 5.
That's my puddle of bad – keep out!
My exit route from puddles of bad is pretty much the same every time. I don't bother strafing, I run forward. I want to get up close and personal with the mongrel that just singed my behind.
You need to play to my strengths.
If you are a raid leader, don't ask me to DPS the mob on the right, or heal the tank on the right – I will probably be out of range.
Tanks, pull left if you want heals, right if you want my ranged DPS.
Raid members. When the shit hits the fan, run to the left side of the room if you want heals. If you don't want to and there is a Mr. Right on the otherside, go right.
Give me the left every time and I will be your Gnome, or Squid.
What about you, do you hang to the left or the right?
Are you so habitual that you:
- Taunt when in PvP
- Wait for the last 35% of mob health before you unleash your IWIN! button only to remember it's a Heroic boss, not a raid boss and it is dead before your global cooldown allows you to cast your finishing moves?
- Reach for the blink on your Pally, the Earth Shield on your Mage.
- Do you pull up your totems after every fight, even though you aren't playing a Shaman?
- Wait for the BG Spirit Rez even though you are in a raid instance?
- Wait for the healer rez even though you are in a BG?
- Can you fold your arms across your chest both ways?
- Do you always start walking with the same foot?
Go on, come clean. What's your nasty little secret?
Gnomer and Out!

Sometime in Q3 2009 I was working with our CTO James Dixon using Pentaho tech to extract information from Salesforce.com and Eloqua to do analysis on our own leads. Yes, we do eat our own dog food. Constantly we were going back and forth through the process of extract, model and visualize. As you can imagine after the 7th iteration, James was sick and tired of having to do this process over and over again, especially with me changing requirements with each iteration. This process is widespread with all BI tech and we knew that somebody needed to improve it.
Over happy hour at The Miller Ale house or "West Campus" as we call it, we got thinking and brainstorming ideas of how to:
- Remove the pain in the process
- Streamline the process
- Make it is easier so non-techies can achieve success
We also knew that whatever we could do to remove any barriers in building and deploying BI applications would certainly come back to benefit our community and customers.
This was the start of our path to create the Agile BI initiative. With this concept, we also looked for feedback from our open source community and SI partners who are currently doing real world implementations.
Today, I am very proud to announce the release of Pentaho Data Integration (PDI) 4.0, the next product milestone in the company's Agile BI initiative. PDI 4.0 is the world's first fully unified ETL, modeling and data visualization development environment that enables developers and business users to work side by side to build and deploy BI applications in minutes to hours rather than from weeks to months. In addition, we have added Enterprise Edition improvements in security, team collaboration, content versioning, repository, and integrated scheduling. Available as either on premise or in the cloud, the end game is a solution that enables BI projects that are quicker to build, easier to adapt and provide faster time to value.
Now I can sit down with James and together we can quickly extract data from our CRM and marketing applications, model the data and visualize the data all in the same development environment. I can get the information I need much more quickly and James' life will be much easier. And isn't that what we all want?
Let the new BI era begin!

To me, it seems that the Pythagorean theorem is a special case of the law of cosines. However, all derivations that I can find seem to use the Pythagorean theorem in the derivation. Are there any simple (preferably geometric) derivations of the law of cosines that don't reference the Pythagorean theorem?
[As requested, posting a comment as a full answer.]
Taken from my answer to the question "What is the most elegant proof of the Pythagorean Theorem?" ...
Nothing comes to mind. There are a few ways of saying that the Law of Cosines as you know it demands the Pythagorean Theorem. Your questions appear to be about simplifying mathematics, as mentioned on your website. It turns out that there is always an irreducible minimum that needs to be taken more or less on faith. In the setting of plane geometry, one of these items is the Parallel Postulate. With that and the other axiomatic items, the Law of Cosines is true.
On the other hand, if you prefer to deny the parallel postulate, you get the hyperbolic plane (actually there is a constant involved) where there are two unfamiliar Laws of Cosines, because similar triangles are always congruent. Not my fault, I just work there.
I suggest you get Geometry: Euclid and Beyond by Hartshorne and Euclidean and Non-Euclidean Geometries, 4th edition, by Greenberg.

I know I can add KML files once I have unzipped the KMZ files, but is there a way to open KMZ files directly? When I try to open a kmz file on QGIS 1.8.0 on Windows XP, through the all files filter, it does not accept it as a valid format. Am I doing something wrong? Does this all depend on OGR support?
On a Mac, where QGIS uses the Kyngchaos.com GDAL 1.9 Complete framework, or on any platform where QGIS has been compiled against a GDAL build with support for the Google LIBKML driver, you can open .kmz files directly using the open dialog and selecting the
If the .kmz has multiple layers, you will be presented with a layer selection dialog (single layer .kmz files are immediately loaded):
You can select multiple layers in that dialog to import. The Example Overlay of Multiple Datasets .kmz file I tested (from here) allowed multiple layer import of point, line and polygon layer types.
EDIT: You can check for ogr LIBKML driver support in your version of QGIS by running the following commands in QGIS's Python Console:
as far as I know, you are right: vectors in qgis are read and written by ogr. qgis 1.8 uses the lastest gdal/ogr, which is 1.91. you can read zipped shape-files, but *.kmz, which actually are a zip-archive containing *.kml-file(s) need to be unzipped manually before importing
Here is a guide to create and import KML files into Quantum. It does not work for KMZ files so these would need to first be decompressed to be used in this manner.
You can add kml layers as any other kind of vector layer, using the "add vector" dialog.
Once you have opened the KML file in QGIS, you can also save it as a shapefile by right-clicking on the file in the layers pane and selecting 'save as'.
The solution is simple:
Tipp: if you want to save several *.kmz files and merge them in one sinlge *kml file, put your *.kmz files in Google Earth in one single folder in hte "locations" window of Google Earth. Than apply the procedure described above for the folder. One single *kml with all geogrpahic points in the folder will be produced, you can then open it with QGis.
If "on the fly projection" is activated, the points will show up on the right place in your OpenLayers Map in QGIS.
First Open In Google Earth And Save As Kml Format File and That you will open in QGIS 1.8.... open Vector Data File Change kml format...

Health & Pregnancy
Is High Blood Pressure Linked to Birth Defects?
Oct. 18, 2011 -- A new study may put hypertension during pregnancy under more scrutiny.
Women who take blood pressure drugs called ACE inhibitors during the first trimester of their pregnancy may be no more likely to have babies with birth defects than women with hypertension who take other types of high blood pressure medication or no blood pressure drugs at all, according to a new study.
These findings run counter to a 2006 study that showed women who took ACE inhibitors -- but not other blood-pressure-lowering drugs -- during the first trimester were at greater risk for having babies with heart malformations and other types of birth defects.
The new study suggests that it may be the underlying high blood pressure that increases the risk of birth defects, regardless of treatment. Women who had high blood pressure during pregnancy were at greater risk for all types of birth defects, particularly heart malformations and neural tube defects.
The findings appear in the journal BMJ.
ACE inhibitors taken during the second and third trimester of pregnancy have been previously linked to birth defects. These drugs must carry a "black box" warning from the FDA concerning these risks. A black box warning is the FDA's most serious warning.
Researchers analyzed data on 465,754 pairs of moms and babies from 1995 to 2008, including information on which medications they were taking. Overall, women who took any blood pressure medication as well as those with untreated high blood pressure were more likely to have a baby with some type of birth defect.
The new study did not look at how high blood pressure during early pregnancy results in birth defects, but Li suggests that it may reduce blood flow to the developing fetus.
Reassuring News for Some Women
The findings are somewhat reassuring for women who became pregnant while they are taking ACE inhibitors, says Howard Strassner, MD. He is the chairman of the department of obstetrics and gynecology at Rush University Medical Center in Chicago.
About half of all pregnancies are unplanned, so many women may be taking high blood pressure medications when they learn they are pregnant. ACE inhibitors are commonly prescribed to lower blood pressure.
Women who have any underlying medical conditions, including high blood pressure, should ideally discuss these issues with their doctor before they become pregnant, says Eva K. Pressman, MD. She is professor of obstetrics and gynecology and director of maternal and fetal medicine at the University of Rochester.

When you send a group text message in iOS, it appears as if you automatically opt in to receive any and all replies to that message. Is there a way to avoid being included in group replies? Is there a way to remove oneself from a group chat?
As iMessage stands today, this can not be done. Just as you can't block a number or email from sending you an iMessage - there is no technical way to get others to not send you a group message (other than by exerting social pressure to exclude you from further communications).
I haven't been able to find anything playing on my phone, and several forum posts suggest that it can't be done:
On Mac Rumors, sla252 writes (November, 2011):
There's also a Reddit thread in which huntard713 suggests (October, 2011):
It's now November 2011 and I can't find this setting on my iPhone, and this was in response to a slightly different problem (about who sees the other participants in a group iMessage, so I don't know how effective this.
I'm sorry this doesn't really answer your question; for now at least, it looks like you can't leave a group iMessage.
The only way to end the group chat is have everyone delete it of their iPhones's. To do that, slide your finger over the chat, where the list of conversations are. That only deletes it off your iPhone, so everyone will have to delete it off their iPhone. Some people will keep talking there, so everyone would get it back. If you don't send any messages in the chat, and tell the other people not to talk there (In private message), eventually people will stop texting in the chat.
It's a bit overkill, but you could block that sender (and others that keep the thread alive) using settings app and Messages blocking settings.
IF your device is jailbroken, you can try BiteSMS, it has a feature called Notification Opt Out which may suited your need.
BTW, I'm a paid user of this app and I found this app is extremely useful.
There is not an "unsubscribe" feature, but all iOS 5+ devices have the options to turn off iMessage (in Settings > Messages) or Group Messaging for SMS/MMS.
You have to turn off iMessage until everyone finally stops talking in the group chat, while turning off iMessage you have to also turn off group messages on mms/SMS setting under messages. It's not the ideal way but it's the best we can do until they solve the issue.
Actually if you turn off imessage or group message and they are txting you by phone number it will just switch to sms and use your txt msg limit up unless you have unlimited

I am using Windows 8 at the moment and I was wondering if there is a way to make a shortcut to a Modern UI (formerly known as Metro UI) application on my desktop.
As far as I know, there's no built-in way to do this. For the apps that come with Windows 8, you can use MetroApp Link; official website (in Italian) here. It doesn't currently support apps downloaded through the Store, though.
All Modern UI apps have a URL protocol associated with them which can be used to launch the app.
You can then make a shortcut to
Getting an icon is a little harder.
Ref: http://forums.mydigitallife.info/threads/32777-Launch-Metro-Apps-Directly-from-Desktop
I have found out a solution myself and want to make the answer here to be complete. It's done by a piece of codes of C# and PowerShell by Tome Tanasovski posted at http://poshcode.org/3740 .
You don't have to understand the codes well to have it worked. The good thing is that I don't need to download some 3rd exe and it's programmable so that I can open up the calculator and PDF viewer with just a single hot key.
Of course you won't like to invoke Calculator again like this. You can save the commands (not all of them, e.g., the part of function get-metroApp is not needed) to a .ps1 . A shortcut to this .ps1 can then be created to execute it. Finally, placing this shortcut to the start menu folder allows you to assign a hot-key for your app.
Go here: (It's a clear and simple solution for any "modern" app you want to create a shortcut for - I used my shortcut to put in the startup folder so the app opens when i log on. http://winaero.com/blog/exclusive-how-to-start-a-modern-app-from-desktop-without-going-to-the-metro-start-screen/#comment-5450
You can launch them via powershell, eg
just make a shortcut pointing to 'ms-mail://'. select icon is described above.

How do I calculate my times? Normally I do it at least 2x faster sometimes 2.5. :) I'd love to speed hike the Alps or Nepal anybody for a go :)
closed as unclear what you're asking by DudeOnRock, WedaPashi, Rory Alsop♦, Mr.Wizard, Amine Sep 16 '13 at 19:31
Please clarify your specific problem or add additional details to highlight exactly what you need. As it's currently written, it's hard to tell exactly what you're asking. See the How to Ask page for help clarifying this question.If this question can be reworded to fit the rules in the help center, please edit the question.
Here are some of "My" measures. These I do only for personal purposes and these are mostly my way of improving my performance.
Week long/weekend hikes:
I calculate the time from the start of the hike to the end of the hike for that day. I do not calculate speed as the distance you cover during a hike might not be in accordance with a map(I do not use gps to track my trails. I make a mental note of the surrounding for that. Also, I tried measuring my speed once and ended up feeling terrible about my mathematical skills!) I do discount an hour or two for the rest I might have taken. For week long hikes, I just add up the hours I took on each day and try to get a rough measure of the time taken vs the time recommended by various forums/friends for the hike.
On peak climbs:
Always from base camp to the summit and back to the basecamp. I have done quite a few low altitude peaks (non himalayan, mostly tropical forest topology) and the way I track it is not based on what time I might have taken to the basecamp, but from the basecamp to the summit and back. Again, I discount an hour or two based on what I feel is right. Most of the times the time you take to get to the basecamp might be in terms of days whereas the climb in itself might be a day or two. Hence, for me, if a hike culminates in a climb to a summit, I categorize it as a summit climb and discount the hike I might have done.
And no, I do not track my times to the last millisecond as I don't feel the need for it. I use an old GShock which has tolerated my negligent mind and has agreed to stick with me till death takes us apart :P :D

Early to Death, Early to Rise (Paperback)
Seventeen, dead, and in charge of heaven's dark angels all itching to kill someone.
Madison Avery's dreams of fitting in at school died when she did. Especially since she'd maintained the illusion of a body, dealt with a pesky guardian angel, and oh yeah, brought the reaper who killed her to his untimely end. Not exactly in-crowd material.
Now Madison has learned that she's inherited the job of dark timekeeper and is in charge of angels who protect fate, whatever that means. Never one to abide by the system, Madison forms a group of rogue angels who definitely don't heed the rules of the heavens. But as she grapples with terrifying new powers, Madison may not be prepared for what lies ahead unless she gets some seriously divine intervention.

I am using Ubuntu for 1st time and I do have an modem MTS Mblaze in India which I am using in Windows.
But when I tried to connect in Ubuntu 12.10 using give default method (i.e. choose country, modem type, connection, add details and then connect) its not working.
Then i came over another solution at http://www.e-dirts.com/2012/how-to-setup-mts-mblaze-usb-modem-in-ubuntu-gnulinux/
But no installation of
CrossPlatformUI-V2.1.2-SSTL-ALL-ubuntu.deb happens at all. Is it because I'm using 12.10 version while its tested using 12.04 version.
And does that another 'Advanced user method' can be followed without internet?

A 26-year-old from Dodge City was killed in a single-vehicle accident Saturday morning in Johnson County, Kan. Christopher Drew Conrad was headed westbound on I-435 when his 2006 Toyota Camry failed to negotiate a left ramp and hit a bridge pillar, according to a report by the Kansas Highway Patrol (KHP). Authorities responded at about 10:45 a.m. to the crash which was reportedly on the westbound ramp to K-10 Highway. Conrad was taken to Overland Park Regional Hospital where he died from injuries sustained in the crash. The KHP report indicated Conrad was not wearing a seat-belt.

"You mention winery, they know where it's at."
Billy Stover started his winery in 1997 after watching "A Walk In The Clouds," a movie about grape harvesting one a winery.
"I said that's what I want to do."
He grows French hybrid grapes on one acre of his property. He plans to plant two more acres next year.
"What we're looking at here is a Cotova grapevine. I raised this thing from a clipping. A clipping is a foot of a branch that I planted back in the spring."
By law, Stover cannot sell his wine or offer tastings in Hart County.
"I want to open up a tasting room. That's what the whole vote's about. It's not anything about Miller or Jack Daniels. It's just a winery asking for the right to sell its product, which it's making here anyway, on the premises."
If the vote on September 14th is passed, Billy Stover's wine store could open as soon as Thanksgiving of this year.
"As far as getting people to sign the petition that got us able to put it up for a vote, we got all kinds of support. It's getting them out to the polls that's important."
He says there's a misconception that he will be serving other kinds of alcohol. But he says wineries are limited, by law, to allowing only six small servings to each tester. And he is only allowed to sell wine that he produces.
If the wet\dry vote is passed on September 14th, it will only apply to the Stover Family Winery Inc. And not other businesses in Hart County.

7 Essential Rules to a Happy Family Life
5 of 8
Never Be Too Busy for Loved Ones
I'm as guilty here as anyone. It's so easy to think, "I'm tired. I'll give them a call tomorrow," and before you know it a dozen tomorrows have gone by and you still haven't called.
That's really not good enough. If you want a strong relationship with your family, you have to work at it, just as you do with your partner. That means investing time. You need to find time to see them even if they live a long way away, and you need to put effort into calling them between times to keep in touch (note to self). It's so easy to fall into benign neglect. You didn't mean to not speak for three months, it just sort of happened. Well, don't let it.
Of course, your family may not be any better than you at finding time. They may even be worse. That doesn't let you off the hook: Two wrongs don't make a right. If they're useless at it, all the more reason why you need to make the effort. Otherwise, you'll find eventually that you don't have a family worthy of the name any more -- and that would be really sad.
So forgive your sister for being hopeless at calling and your father for being forgetful, and make the call or the trip yourself. They'll appreciate it and you'll be glad you did it.
Every family has its stray sheep who wander off without telling anyone where they're going, and don't get in touch for ages. They all have their "sheepdog" who rounds everyone up and counts them and checks to make sure they are okay. Don't resent the fact that you're doing more of the work than someone else. It's the way of the world--and the important thing is that between you all, you manage to keep in touch as much as you can.

What is exactly "Arch Fallback" in the Arch boot menu?
The Arch Wiki mkinitcpio page explains the difference between the two:
The fallback image utilizes the same configuration file as the default image, except the autodetect hook is skipped during creation, thus including a full range of modules. The autodetect hook detects required modules and tailors the image for specific hardware, shrinking the initramfs.

The AC Milan CEO has revealed his admiration the Barcelona superstar ahead of the Champions League last-16 first leg between the two European giants on WednesdayAC Milan vice-president Adriano Galliani has claimed Lionel Messi has surpassed legendary duo Diego Maradona and Pele as the best player of all time ahead of the his side's Champions League clash with Barcelona.
The Rossoneri host the Blaugrana at San Siro on Wednesday, and the 68-year-old is well aware of the threat the opposition midfield, along with the Argentine, will pose.
"It will be a great event, a great game. It is beautiful to be in a position to be a part of this game," he told reporters.
"We'll be up against the best side in the world. Look at their midfield - it's the one with which Spain won the World Cup and European Championship.
"[Plus], Messi is the best player of all time. He is even better than Diego Maradona and Pele."
Galliani went on to acknowledge that the Catalans are heavy favorites going into the tie, but stressed that his side is intent on causing an upset.
"I won't make any prediction as I can't see into the future, but we believe," he added.
"Barca are favorites, but the favorites don't always win."

"You can come and you can have a meal, and turn around and volunteer too. So, it's the giving back thing, and I think it's important to teach our children and our younger generation that's part of what we need to do," said organizer Sherry Griffin.
People Serving People will also be preparing a holiday meal on Christmas, and every Wednesday in downtown Franklin.

Is it true that Martin Luther cursed a lot and even used some bad language in his own writings?

It should be noted that profanity is a relative cultural concept. That is, what one culture considers to be profane may not be offensive in another. For example, various hand gestures that are perfectly acceptable in the USA would be highly offensive in the Middle East. Similarly, the word "bloody" in the UK carries a harsher connotation than in American English. Thus we should not be quick to dismiss quotes because they do not match what our culture considers to be profanity, especially in Western culture that allows horrific words, violence, and sexuality to be displayed routinely on public television. With this in mind, I offer some quotes by Martin Luther:
Of course "fart" was highly offensive at the time and "pig poop" (older translations say "sow dung") can be translated more harshly - I don't think I need to spell it out ;)
Yes it is, Martin Luther was after all: angry and upset at the Pope and the Catholic clergy. Some examples would be: "no sooner do I pass a motion than they smell it in rome. Saying in effect that Rome was a cess pool. Many times does he call Monks the "lice placed by the devil on God's almighty fur coat." There are of course many other things I won't repeat out of decency.
Martin Luther also would curse Rome and the Pope, comparing them to villains in the bible. These phrases of themselves are not "extreme" by todays standards of course, however when the remarks were made they were directed at the Holy men of the time, something many people just thought as heresy. So it's easy to believe that a lot of the things he said were taken to be just so foul.
