Stouts, especially beers like Guiness (its cousin Kilkenny as well), have a head that's really creamy. Being a stout lover myself, I always envied this head, but I have no idea how one can achieve it. What is so different about these beers' recipe that produces such an exceptional head? Can we achieve it at home?
Adding some wheat to the recipe can give some good body and head retention. There are a bunch of other methods as well. Check out this BrewWiki article on Head Retention. The main methods are:
In the pubs the creamy nead is achieved through the CO2/Nitrigen gas mix as mentioned already. It is also achieved by using a stout tap. A stout tap is similar in all respects to a regular tap, however the one significant difference is that inserted into the tap is a small disk that diffuses the beer through a number of small holes around the perimeter of the disk, this allows the beer to cascade through the disk, thus helping to make the creamy head.
I seem to recall something about having to use a Nitrogen cannister instead of CO2 when you keg it. I have no idea how to do it if you bottle condition.
All the nitrogen does is allow the beer to be pushed at a higher pressure than CO2 would, since nitrogen is much less soluble than CO2. It's this higher pressure that contributes to the head and "creamy" mouthfeel, since the high pressure pour strips out much of the carbonation. Many years ago, before Guinness used nitro, the 6 packs came with a syringe. You'd suck up some beer and shoot it back into the glass in order to create the same effect. It's this high pressure pour, much moreso than any ingredients, that creates the classic head and mouthfeel of Guinness.

I bet if SI opened a gameworld with capacity for 2000 managers for 66p per day it would fill.
It had a lot of criticism , but the one thing that can't be disputed is that they got the environment spot on, the chat rooms and the tools for player v player interaction was great in building up communities.
Was great just logging on to see what was going on in the little fml universe, even if you didn't play any matches.
i still chat to a few of the people i met on FML , the chat is realistically one of the things missing with fm12 , glad to of experienced it but happy to have been able to reclaimed my life after it ended :P
play ps3 with a few former mods a few times a week .
I've found them
Its the little things I miss - the three different beeps you got when you started it up, all spaced around 2 seconds apart, telling you you had mail, there was news, and there was discussion mail too.
Used to go - Beep (2seconds) Beep (2seconds) bbbb beep. It used to set the budgie off every time, and drive the missus crazy, although after a while she got to know the sounds, and if I was in another room and the big Der Der Der Der !! noise came on, she would shout me and tell me someone is challenging me to a game.
We have a young baby now so going on FML would be near on impossible now.

I had the echo-y message alert as my text message sound for ages.
Don't think it was the situation of not having similar starting position. It was the situation of not being able to make being lower level exciting.
In FM you would've had lot of fun finishing 6th in Conference. In FML finishing same position in 4th Div was a "meh?" achievement really.
And in the end, for completely rookie players the tricks they needed to learn were not easy to obtain unless they created some bond with some experienced manager who taught them that (which required certain activity). The step from being successful in FM to being successful in FML is really hard to make and when someone didn't start off well, they were in a right hole. It required whole new level of understanding players, how the ME in itself works and most importantly team management is times more challenging than it is in FM if you'd start off without knowing anything or having anyone to help you.
But if someone from the FML bunch becomes rich, they better pay SI to get this thing running again. :P
FML is in a way similar to loads of different browser-based football management games on the Internet. Those who started early and/or those who put in a lot of hours have a huge advantage over others after a while. When a newbie joins, he gets easily discouraged when he sees what it would take and how much time it would take to be competitive on a larger scale. That's the problem you can't really solve.
Christ I miss the game. Just as I had gotten a ton of 4+ pots youths about to break into my first team the shutdown were announced. I was so gutted heh.
let's make a charity to own fml rights :P

I must admit, I really really enjoyed FML when I actually played it but it was too easy for managers to abuse the system. Buying players for ridiculous amounts and keeping them on low wages added to the reluctance of people to sell some of their players meaning you're not always able to get who you want.
I'll admit, towards the end SI fixed a lot of the bugs and stuff but I think that the damage was already done by then.
I think too many people got bored with loosing and left and SI couldn't afford that many servers with minimal people in each GW. Mabye if we create a couple of more servers for the hardcore fans? I know SI are making big profits so it won't cost them? I'm always hoping hahaha
fm without live sux \m/
Would be awesome if they opened up one game world and give it another trial just to see how it went, and charge a subscription for it. Many here would jump at the chance.
Im just so gutted i only joined a few months before the end . Losing never bothered me, you have to start somewhere and that was the challenge, working your way up. Not winning straight away. Guess though some others didn't see it like that, although you have got to ask what did they honestly expect
As much as a few of us really enjoyed it, there are no plans to bring it back as it stands. Sorry - it's not as simple as just throwing up a server - sorting out hardware, maintenance, licensing costs etc just don't really make sense unless you can get to certain economies of scale.
Sorry to be the bearer of bad tidings.
None of us said it was straight forward, but if the demand is there surely its got to be considered? Obviously just by this thread alone wouldn't be enough to go on of course, but one gameworld would be cheaper than having the number FML did?
I think we are clutching at straws here guys :P
I think you're right!
FML features should be Integrated with Normal FM it would make the game profit even more, lets face it the current multi-player component of FM is not changed in ages and its still very basic
I could partly understand the lack of development when FML was in production, as SI/Sega would compete with themselves. But now that FML is dead and buried and never to be resurected, SI should dedicate the resources to at least making it possible to play a network game over the internet, at a speed that is acceptable. No lag or need for 3rd party programs should be a min. specification.
You don't even need servers this could be done using P2P technology , the only thing that SI has to keep running is a match making system and some kind of ranking or leaderboards etc
That and the inclusion of proper match plans.
Personally I wouldn't pay a fee each month to play a game like this, when there are so many other online football managers on the net for free. I know that you can't compare, but still.I cant understand why any hardcore FM'er wouldnt have enjoyed FML, it took genuine skill to play, was so fun tactically.
But regarding to other posts, I think some of the features such as Youth Academies and Managing the Stadiums and also the online features from FML should be given a go into FM. Especially the online features and the sense that your playing against other REAL managers would be great
I'm not sure the stadium stuff would be well received in FM, unfortunately.
yeah it would cause a riot in the forums . but the MP part of the game needs a revolution
Anyone else sad enough to have kept screenshots of their teams? wish i had took more tbh, i had some other great variations, prob better than the ones i have screens for, but then again, i am pretty awesome haha
i cant decide which of mine was better :P
And a side note to SI (in fun of course) concentrate less on the background houses and beaches and bring the flipping tunnel back i for one want visual realism and not walls and sand.
Do you have a link to FMO, I need to see it Also yeah, there needs to be more multiplayer and online in FM, that would be quality
Guys, did you know that Football Manager Online is 1 Gameworld only?

Ahhhh the memories One of my no1's and on a very small wage bill of 180k! not bad considering the next few are all spending about 500k on wages and had to be constantly online buying and selling to keep going. I was a tactical genius :P
Aaaaah the old FAs.....
Those aren't the old ones, they have the newer badges on them.
Yeah, it was all about the World Famous XFA
The original OFA is where it was at. The Overnight Football Association was themed each season.
First season was Crystal Maze theme so we had Ocean League, Futuristic Cup etc
Second season was Aztec God theme with Tepozticatl Premiership etc...
Shame we never actually got to play any matches because there wasn't enough entrants so we all had to rejoin the MFA again.
Pffffft!! Monster FA was the place to be FML should never have come out of Beta it would still be going if it hadn't lol
GWs 1-3 would still be going strong definitely. Not so sure about the others as they weren't as experimental or just plain mental.
the only reason i never tried FML is monthly payments i refuse to play games that require monthly fees
It was actually well worth it.
Here is the link to Ov's thread in FMO about how to improve FM Online.

FML will always be the best game ever created (in my humble opinion), pity it was ran on a shoestring budget
I would pay double the old subscription cost in a heartbeat if it ever came back.
I also think the major downfall for FML was lack of advertising So many people that loved playing FM 2 players, didn't even know about FML
Sega aren't exactly known for their successful marketing campaigns.
Even when they did finally push the boat out and advertise the hell out of Bayonetta, no-one bought it anyway meaning they probably won't push the boat out again.
Shame really, it's a great game.
It really really sucks, they have acknowledged that in the past. But as they have chosen to link FM so close to Steam, why now have the opportunity to play a game vs friends via steam. Instead of having to fight with pretty advanced router setup.
Yeah mabye, better online against real people is what its all about
I'd love FM Live to comeback! It's probably the best game I've played tbh and prefer it over the normal FM.
Hopefully it may come back one day. Maybe start with one gameworld and instead of having a three/four month subscription fee make it 12 months so people will play the game in the long run and the serious people will join because it's a higher price for longer time. Then if it is going well do another gameworld. I'm sure there is at least enough ex-diehard football manager live fans who would play it again and if it makes money then worth doing.
Plus you can also still buy FM Live and I was going to this week but it's a good job I checked here and had my hopes dashed.
Bring back FM Live!

Bring back FML. I did not manage to find a substitute for it yet.
Like Gerara I have not find something to replace it with!
Whats the deal with UFL? Will it be as good as FML?
UFL is a game made by former-FML players who are trying to recreate the FML feel. Has been in the works since about a week after FML was announced that it was shutting down.
aww I miss FML am still not over it !!
At least I play FM Online to give me a little fix
i know its only a game but i made allot of online gaming friends playing FML. We run a network game on a Sunday with FM which is great fun but i miss the accessibility of FML. I could come home from shift log on for 10 mins and have a blether, i could be up late after everyone was in bed and chill out and log on and you would have people online , the fact you could mold your team you could sit and chat. The community sold it for me along with a game that i was and still am a fan of.
No, SI would never release the match engine.
Been missing FML a fair bit recently... I'm playing a lot of FM iat the moment but it is just far too easy in comparison. I'm still rocking with my old FML tactics and philosophy! Plus i have nothing to rage about any more
I lid up seeing this thread! Have so many great memories from FML! Hope it comes back someday...
FML was the best game ever - never has a game caused so much emotion - I could be dancing round the room one match then wanting to fling my mouse around the room in annoyance the following game. The ability to just log on in seconds and have a quick match. Checking my mails every four weeks to see how successful my transfer bids were. Building the youth teams. The community. Oh, I really do miss it.
Threads like this are important - it helps let SI know that there is still a demand out there for it - and looking at it, quite a big one. True, there are other management sims out there, but SI still have that important ME which set the game apart.
Please one day bring this back....
Just seen this link which is interesting http://www.fmscout.com/a-sports-inte...ow-hiring.html
Mentions from SI themselves that as well as FMO, they have plans for other football management titles too! Also mentions they have a bit of cash in the kitty so hopefully something for us in the UK
Of course, it's a shame there's a need to develop a new game when there's a perfectly good one already made, with a massive fan base... unless they have any plans to revamp FML of course.
And of course if SI need a year or two to plug the gap before our next UK treat (just being presumptious from their statement), we'll all be more than happy with gold old FML! I still think it would be a real cash cow - a relaunch would be massive bucks - retention obviously would be the problem but if we all got together to promote it and advertise it properly ourselves, the skies the limit....maybe they wouldn't need a new title after all ! And maybe retention would be ok, the game had just about got to a perfect state when it was turned off, so maybe people would hang around longer.
Please SI, use some of your surplus cash to treat us, your loyal old FML fans!!!!
Why not give UFL a try?
I miss it so much, I'm travelling to Martinique to set up my own youth academy, just like I had in FML.
...as soon as I can work out where Martinique is.
I'm waiting for UFL Looks good, but there will only ever be one FML Top game! SI neeeeed to bring it back
I've only just discovered this thread and UFL in the last 20 minutes but it's already getting those FML juices flowing again and I'll definitely be chipping in for the project.
Weirdly I found it when reminiscing. I went into the Francescoli members group on steam. Then saw Scally was online and clicked on him which said he was a member of the Miller group on Steam, clicked on that and received a link to this thread, so nice work Abz
No Probs Rob I think this thread is gathering momentum so SI might want to reconsider hahahaha
Just for the record, in terms of games I ever played, FML was by far the best.... absolutely brilliant!
The main problem with this game is that when people struggle, they quit. On FM the simply start a new game. On FML they stop playing or move GW. I think that wiill always be a problem
Basically FML is the main reason why i wanted to find out my login details so i could make a comment on this thread...
Absolutely loved the game, and played it endlessly, would definately love it to come back no matter the cost....even though i wasn't that good at it, i never left and wanted to play on to try and make my club a force...
nearly a year since fml was gone
and i`m not even missing it
As someone said before, i advise you to jump over to UFL and have a browse around, it definately looks really good, as could be the replacement we are looking for....
UFL is looking pretty sick though! FML was in a league of its own though
what i do miss is the old gameworlds cantona gw

The signs and symptoms of celiac disease can vary greatly.
Although the classic signs are diarrhea and weight loss, most people with celiac disease experience few or no digestive signs or symptoms. Only about one-third of people diagnosed with celiac disease experience diarrhea, and about half have weight loss.
Twenty percent of people with celiac disease have constipation, and 10 percent are obese.
In addition to digestive problems, other signs and symptoms of celiac disease include:
As many as 75 percent of children with celiac disease are overweight or obese. Digestive signs and symptoms are experienced by 20 to 30 percent of children with the condition although the precise signs and symptoms differ by age.
In infants, typical signs and symptoms of celiac disease include:
Older children may experience:
Dermatitis herpetiformis is an itchy, blistering skin disease that stems from intestinal gluten intolerance. The rash usually occurs on the elbows, knees, torso, scalp and buttocks.
Dermatitis herpetiformis is often associated with changes to the lining of the small intestine identical to that of celiac disease, but the disease may not produce noticeable digestive symptoms.
Dermatitis herpetiformis is treated with a gluten-free diet and medication to control the rash.
Consult your doctor if you have diarrhea or digestive discomfort that lasts for more than two weeks. Consult your child's doctor if he or she is pale, irritable or failing to grow or has a potbelly and foul-smelling, bulky stools.
Be sure to consult your doctor before trying a gluten-free diet. If you stop eating gluten before you're tested for celiac disease, you may change the test results.
Celiac disease tends to run in families. If someone in your family has the condition, ask your doctor if you should be tested. Also ask your doctor about testing if you or someone in your family has a risk factor for celiac disease, such as type 1 diabetes.

I would like to know if acceleration is an absolute quantity, and if so why?
In standard Newtonian mechanics, acceleration is indeed considered to be an absolute quantity, in that it is not determined relative to any inertial frame of reference (constant velocity). This fact follows directly from the principal that forces are the same everywhere, independent of observer.
Of course, if you're doing classical mechanics in an accelerating reference frame, then you introduce a fictitious force, and accelerations are not absolute with respect to an "inertial frame" or other accelerating reference frames - though this is less often considered, perhaps.
Note also that the same statement applies to Einstein's Special Relativity. (I don't really understand enough General Relativity to comment, but I suspect it says no, and instead considers other more fundamental things, such as space-time geodesics.)
Absolutely not. An observer in free fall and an observer in zero gravity both experience and observe no acceleration in their frame of relevance. One, however, is actually in an accelerating frame of reference.
I've finally figured it out.
First, let's define precisely what it means for some quantity to be absolute or relative. In the context in question, it has to do with whether a quantity is absolute (that is, has the same value) or relative (that is, has different values) when measured by two inertial observers moving with respect to one another.
Of course, first we need to define what an inertial observer is: it's an observer for which Newton's laws are applicable without having to resort to adding fictitious forces.
Ok, so now we have two observers, Alice and Bob, both of which are inertial. They both observe the motion of some object. Let the index 1 correspond to quantities measured in A's reference frame and the index 2 correspond to quantities measured in B's reference frame. The position of the object is clearly a relative concept, since
r₂ = r₁ + u t
(where u is the velocity of Bob with respect to Alice, and is constant since they're both inertial observers). Note that the time, t, is the same for both observers, as it must be according to Newtonian Mechanics. The object position is a relative concept because r₂ ≠ r₁.
Now, take the time-derivative of both sides and we get
v₂ = v₁ + u
that is, the velocity of the object with respect to one observer is different than the velocity of the same object with respect to the other observer. Hence, velocity is a relative quantity in Newtonian Mechanics.
Next, take the time-derivative of both sides once again, and we obtain
a₂ = a₁
(since u is constant). Thus, the acceleration of the object is the same in both reference frames. Acceleration, therefore, is absolute in Newtonian Mechanics.
When we take into account the theory of relativity, then time flows at different rates for different inertial observers and the result above for the acceleration is no longer true.
Acceleration will be the same in any two frames that are moving with constant speed with respect to each other (and may also be rotated and translated).
However, if you consider two frames that have relative rotation or acceleration, the acceleration of an object will be different in the two frames.

I have a question. Suppose that $V$ is a set of all real valued functions that attain its relative maximum or relative minimum at $x=0$. Is V a vector space under the usual operations of addition and scalar multiplications? My guess is it is not a vector space, but I can't able to give a counterexample?
As I hinted in my comment above, the terms local maximum and local minimum only really make sense when talking about differentiable functions. So here I show that the set of functions with a critical point (not necessarily a local max/min) at 0 (really at any arbitrary point $a \in \mathbb{R}$) is a vector subspace.
If you broaden this slightly to say that $V \subset C^1(-\infty,\infty)$ is the set of differentiable functions on the reals that have a critical point at 0 (i.e. $\forall$ $f \in V$ $f'(0) = 0$).
Then it's simple to show that this is a vector space.
If $f,g \in V$ ($f'(0)=g'(0)=0$), and $r \in \mathbb{R}$ then, and hence
And together these imply that $V$ is a vector subspace of $C^1(-\infty,\infty)$.
Robert Israel's answer above is a nice example of why we must define our vector space to have a critical point, not just a max/min at 0.
Consider the functions $$f(x)=\cases{x&\text{if }x<0\\0&\text{otherwise}}$$ and $$g(x)=\cases{0&\text{if }x<0\\x&\text{otherwise.}}$$
For example, $x^2 + x^3$ and $x^2$ both have relative minima at $0$, but $(x^2 + x^3) - x^2$ does not.

It's not too long since Berkshire Hathaway got its 10-year warrants in Bank of America alongside its \$5 billion purchase of preferred stock. At the time I saw some discussion about the value of these 700,000,000 "free" warrants (exercisable at \$7.13) as being worth up to 65% of B of A's stock price which was about \$7 at the time. So, the argument went that for his \$5,000,000,000 Berkshire got \$5,000,000,000 of redeemable preferred and \$3,185,000,000 worth of warrants.
I have looked to see how both Berkshire Hathaway and Bank of America may be carrying the respective assets and liabilities regarding these warrants and can't find it in their financials.
This isn't a heavy quant question, but I would welcome any insight. Thanks

How do I make it so that a single app could not kill my entire system just by taking all the RAM?
Often times a rogue app starts to chew up all my RAM and by the time I realize it, my hard drive is swapping faster than a swingers couple and several seconds later even my cursor is not responding.
I found this page, but it talks about limiting particular apps:
However, how to do this globally, so that any app that behaves in a dangerous way would be killed?
I believe something like this was a default in the days of Edgy, as my IRC bot would often get killed by the system if it ran too long (it had a memory leak). What happened to that? Another move closer to being Windows?

About Wendell
After one of our designs is photographed, we are faced with the difficult task of choosing which photo to use for the pattern. Our fantastic photographer will usually give us a number of good shots and it's up to us to decide which image showcases the knit or crocheted item best, using the amount of space we have on the page or screen. In that one picture, we want to convey as much about the project as we can. An ideal photograph should answer important questions about the project:
- How does the item fit? Is it designed to be worn loose or snug?
- How long is it? Is it a cropped design, or does it hit at the waist, hip, or even lower?
- There should be at least a suggestion of the item's construction. For a sweater, are the sleeves set-in or raglan?
- What kinds of stitches are used? Is there a ribbed edging? Is there stockinette, lace, cables, colorwork, or texture?
- What is the overall fabric like? Is it stiff and rigid, or soft and drapey?
- What kind of trim details are there? Does it fasten with buttons, or hang open? Is there a zipper or drawstring?
- Are there any other special features?
Sometimes, though, we end up with a photo that we absolutely love, but isn't the most successful at answering the important questions. It's those times that we feel torn – should we go with the most beautiful photograph, or the most accurate representation of the actual item? In the end, practicality wins out.
Those gorgeous but not as informative photographs usually find their way into things like our audio slideshows, advertisements, or this blog… This week's free pattern in our KnitBits newsletter is an easy vest called Wendell. Here's the photo chosen to most accurately show the pattern:
And here's the image that had to take a backseat. It was a little too far away to show the vest's details, but the curved shape of the tree trunk and the model's windswept skirt made for a really great photo:
Norah and I have recently been sifting through the pictures from our Spring 2012 shoot, and going through this same decision-making process. It can be tough, but it's always worth the effort!

This is exactly why those of us that take photos of FOs and designs take lots of shots. Much better to have too many to choose from than not enough!
It is amazing to actually write down all the questions one expects a good design photo to answer. We all just internalize much of that expectation.October 21, 2011

Health Care Interests Gave Healthy Doses of Contributions
by Anne Bauer, Dec. 15, 2009
In the last six years, major players in the health care industry gave $394 million to officeholders, party committees and ballot measure committees in the 50 states. At least one proposal being discussed before Congress would allow states to engage in health care co-ops. States also regulate the various health care interests and administer Medicaid, which makes the states a major purchaser of goods and services from health care interests.
The Institute receives financial support from:
Ford Foundation
Foundation to Promote Open Society
The Pew Charitable Trusts
Rockefeller Brothers Fund
Sunlight Foundation
From the Research Room
Fast Facts
- California campaigns commanded $199 million from health care interests -- fully half of all the money contributed by health interests between 2003-2008.
- PhRMA and ten member pharmaceutical manufacturers gave $168.7 million to state campaigns from 2003 through 2008.

I was on Dantoine and saved my game just when entering a module and before talking to Vrook and fighting him. I died during the fight and reloaded my game. Vrook never reappeared, even when exiting and re-entering the module and it was really a big turning point in the plot.
Exact same thing happened on Nar Shadaa: I was suppose to meet "Visquis" ( in the "toxic" bar. I was playing as a Dark Side female sentinel. I saved my game just after I enterering in the area where you meet the Wookie if you are DS or Mira if you are LS. I met with the wookie. Until then, everything is fine. However, in the next sequence, I was transported to another module where Atton has to fight alone, he was ill equipeed and died. When I reloaded, the wookie never appeared. I got Mira instead and it was all messed up.
From what I have seen, this also happened to someone else with HK-50 on Peragus. After reloading the game, hk-50 would never attack you. I have also seen similar problems at other places but I don't remember them all but one involved a quest with t3-m4
spoiler:Someone also mentionned a similar problem in the Tomb on Korriban when you enter the tomb with the "visions" and the door at the end would not open.

For many students, finals produce stress levels that are through the roof. Fortunately, CU-Boulder's Counseling and Psychological Services, CAPS, offers a variety of programs to help students manage those feelings of anxiety.
Postdoctoral CAPS employee Dina Matic Kriakova explains stress is the response people experience during periods of pressure. Though stress manifests itself differently based on the individual experiencing it, students can learn to identify the symptoms.
CAPS volunteer and peer educator Emmie Matsuno explains that there are four categories of symptoms: physical, cognitive, behavioral, and emotional.
The body's physical reaction to stress includes responses such as muscle tension, shallow breathing, and sleep loss, while emotional responses include moods swings and scattered thoughts. For these symptoms, Kriakova recommends practicing meditation for basic relaxation.
CAPS offers two meditation programs, Feel Good Fridays and Take a Break Meditate, which vary depending on the level of guidance the mediator is interested in. Students can also enroll in Tai Chi classes, which focus on connecting with the body to relieve stress.
In addition to the activity-based classes, CAPS has a few educational options, including a coping skills development group and Stress Break, a volunteer program in which residence halls, sororities and other student groups host CAPS peer volunteers for a lesson on relaxation.
Matsuno is one of the CAPS peer volunteers who leads the Stress Break program. "Stress can be a good thing and can help motivate us," says Masuno, "but if the amount of stress is too large then we might want to take steps to cut that back."
Stress Break discusses steps for stress reduction and leads a guided relaxation. The relaxation session emphasizes breathing as well as using your mind to relax muscles by focusing on various body parts and focusing on each muscle individually.
In addition to the programs CAPS offers, the office is available to students for free walk-in counseling sessions. The office is located in C4C and is open Monday through Friday between 10 a.m. and 4 p.m.
Although finals are a difficult time for all students, the key to managing stress is learning to understand it. For more information about the workshops and groups that CAPS offers, visit https://counseling.colorado.edu/index.php.

Alfred Gerald Caplin, known as Al Capp, inherited his talent from his father, who used to draw comics for his family's entertainment. After attending several art schools, Capp found himself a job at age nineteen, with the Associated Press, doing a strip called 'Col. Gilfeather'. He moved to New York, leaving his strip to a young Milton Caniff, and began ghosting 'Joe Palooka' by Ham Fisher.
At the age of 26, Al Capp presented his own strip, 'Li'l Abner', to the syndicates, and it became a great success. In 1935, he also began a 'Li'l Abner' Sunday page, which was accompanied by the "topper" 'Washable Jones', a fairytale comic. Capp also wrote the first episodes of Raeburn Van Bueren's 'Abie an' Slats'. Al Capp went on to head Capp Enterprises in Boston, and established a Disneyland-like amusement park called Dogpatch. He became a humorous writer and critic. He continued 'Li'l Abner' until 1977, and died two years later.

I installed a new Craftsman garage door opener by following the instruction booklet it came with, but after the installation was done and I plunged it in the outlet nothing will power up. Nothing lit up, or any movement. I made sure the outlet was working by plugging another device, and the other device worked but not the garage door opener. any suggestions?
There are two options here:
You're going to have to go through the whole set-up top to bottom. Check all your connections, make sure that batteries are in right, that any fuses are installed and work. Then call Sears.

TOPEKA, Kan. (WIBW) -Farmers across Kansas will most likely want to put this summer's growing season behind them as soon as possible. With more heat still on the way it looks as if little relief is in sight
The heat is taking its toll on crops all over the midwest, forcing farmers to yield unexpectedly low quality crops this time of year. Even the most experienced farmers are feeling the effects of this summers drought.
Topeka farmer and owner of Meier JC & Sons Market is hoping for a better year next year. In a summer that has produced extreme heat and lead the USDA declaring 82 Kansas counties as federal disaster areas due to a severe drought, it seems the only thing growing for farmers in kansas is frustration.
Lenny says, "Its been challenging we've irrigated and thrown money on fuel but got nothing out of it. The green bean field has alot of beans on it but no pods. The three acre watermelon field only has three of four watermelons in it. There's just nothing there and we have lost four or five thousand dozen of corn. I'm pulling corn now that I normally wouldn't until mid-August.
For some across the midwest it's just a few weeks of uncomfortable heat that they can live through but for those making a living from farming the drought has caused people to strongly consider an alternative way of life.
There's alot looking for jobs and people don't realize how serious this drought is. It's not just in Topeka, its all over the states and not just in Kansas. It"s going to hurt alot of people and especially people on low income.
As of now Lenny Meier does not plan on raising prices on produce due to the drought. Employees at Dillons, in Topeka, say they have not seen any noticeable changes in produce prices yet., but Federal Agriculture officials have said higher prices for feed corn could mean you'll start seeing higher meat prices at the stores.

I want to figure out how to open a program after i install it in terminal. I do it with programs all the time, but i don't know how to find out after I install a program what command to run, what file path the everything is in or any thing like that. The program i am trying to figure out how to open from terminal right now is NetBeans IDE 7.2.1 , but i don't just want to understand how to open it, i want to understand how to find out where to go after i install it, whether i have installed it with apt-get or if i used dpkg?

For example, after installing the text editor vim, you can run it by simply typing
Usually, you will not need to know the path a program is installed to. However, you can see it by typing
One way you can check this is to read through the list of files installed by the package and look for executables. Assuming the package is called netbeans, you can run this in the terminal:

Why do Marine animals have fins.
It is more efficient to use fins than feet, hooves, or other similar body parts. It is the same reason that you can swim faster while wearing flippers. Having a larger surface area allows animals to push against more water, so that they have more force when swimming. Here is a picture of the bones in a dolphin fin. They are extremely similar to the bones in a hand, because dolphins evolved from land animals that had individual fingers.
Amphibians like frogs and salamanders have webbed feet, which is a "compromise" between feet and fins. These feet allow them to push against water with more power, since they have webbing instead is separate fingers. It also allows them to grip the ground on land, since their fingers can move independently of each other.

|David Dante Troutt
Geography is destiny, says Professor David Dante Troutt, and many working and even middle class American communities suffer from an inequity of place. These communities are burdened with high unemployment, failing schools, health challenges, disproportionate foreclosures, and outsized incarceration whose roots, he argues, can be traced to unresolved conflicts around race and class. In his forthcoming book, The Price of Paradise: The Costs of Inequality and a Vision for a More Equitable America (NYU Press, 2014), Troutt shows how our tendency to separate into enclaves in urban areas or to sprawl off on one's own in the suburbs undermines the notion of America as a land of opportunity. He explores the legal, economic and cultural forces that contribute to the squeeze on the middle class, the dangers of growing income and wealth inequality, and environmentally unsustainable growth and consumption patterns.
In your scholarship and teaching, you have often addressed how racial and economic segregation has perpetuated poverty. How did this become the focus of your career?
Poverty – and especially persistent poverty – represents the core failures of a bountiful culture. Understanding poverty at a visceral, personal level revealed to me what a collection of deficits it is. It makes everything harder — illness, stress, loss, getting from here to there. With so much promise all around us, persistent poverty reminds us of how much better we have to become. So, I became dedicated pretty early to doing something about it. As my analysis grew richer, I focused more on the structural dynamics that produce and sustain persistent poverty. Segregation, as old as that term sounds, remains the linchpin to persistent poverty. Segregation is often the first step in creating structural marginalization. Legal analysis is particularly helpful in teaching us more about segregation and how to overcome it. I may not yet be hopeful, but I am optimistic.
Your forthcoming book discusses the concept of "mutuality." Can you expand upon this?
Mutuality is a term I borrowed directly from the writing of Dr. King. He often preached about "the inescapable network of mutuality" that binds our fate as people. It turns out he was right about interdependency, and the results are increasingly visible at the municipal level. Despite decades of organizing our communities around parochial interests in which our laws help internalize the good and externalize the bad, the fiscal health of localities is increasingly dependent upon the health of others in the region. Inequality has very real and measurable costs. For instance, crime is expensive and paid for regionally; poor schools are more expensive than strong schools and are paid for regionally, as are the costs of diminished social capital and weaker labor markets. At a neighborhood or local level, these costs affect how much opportunity a given place can sustain for its residents, which in turn affects the capacity of households there to thrive. At a regional level, the costs indicate whether desired levels of growth and opportunity will sustain a broad middle class.
This fundamental mutuality has been become more critical in light of rapid demographic changes. Most metro areas are now a majority minority; their rates of suburban poverty are now higher than urban poverty. Still they are primary job centers. This tells us that as we become a racial plurality, we will have much greater need to promote each other's success. Our state and local laws, for instance, can be reformed to recognize our interdependent interests on a more equitable basis. Recognition of mutuality is overdue. Our rules are playing catch up.
In doing research for The Price of Paradise, you visited several major U.S. cities that, to varying extents, embody many of the stresses on urban America. Were you surprised by anything you found?
Yes, I was surprised by the extent of vigilance among some struggling places. A first-ring suburb like Trevose, PA has a lot to fear amid the current economy, but people there are tirelessly finding new ways to stay relevant and to grow. The same was true in Miami Gardens, FL, a working-class town made of people who felt Miami no longer offered them a future. I learned of unexpected resilience among Katrina survivors in Houston, too. It is important for people like me who research the laws of misery to get out and meet people who refuse to be miserable. Detroit, I have to say, is one of the country's greatest challenges, but I would never quit on its people.
You've written extensively on Hurricane Katrina and its devastating effects on the poorest residents of New Orleans. In following superstorm Sandy, have you seen similar equity issues?
Yes and no, but the research is ongoing. Disasters are complicated things from an equity standpoint. They reveal huge inequities while promising rare opportunities to unwind past practices. Early on in New Orleans, we developed a pretty good sense of which questions to ask. Although we learned from that, we still have a ways to go with Sandy. The disparities may be almost as large yet they have not been laid as bare. The opportunity here may be two fold — to correct for the profound inequities that created so much vulnerability among Sandy's victims, but also to reach some consensus among the public about just what to look for amid the rubble. The two might come together in a broader definition of "sustainability." That term should mean as much about our social ecology as it does our physical environment.
You created a Center for Law and Metropolitan Equity at the law school. What is its mission and what type of projects will the Center undertake?
It turns out that the work we've been doing for almost two decades in "Race, Class and Metropolitan Equity" (formerly "Inner-City Economic Development and Community Planning") brings students a lot of hope about how to use the law. Rising inequality among places and households has only brought more student interest. The Center – or CLiME – allows a select group of fellows each year to go beyond the hard work they do in RCME and other classes and to engage in serious questions of clinical research on projects we design together. Some of these are our own – such as our current equity analysis of the Sandy recovery and whether it "affirmatively furthers fair housing," or our examination of shared services agreements and municipal tax base relief — and grow out of our unique position in New Jersey. Others are inspired by work occurring in other parts of the country, like our analysis of the state of exclusionary zoning in New Jersey during the current legal impasse over the fair share doctrine.
The point is to become a leading source of original analysis, serious student scholarship and collected interdisciplinary research on an emerging area of law and policy. We want to develop a national resource as issues of metropolitan equity gain national attention. We want to ask difficult questions and publish impressive work. We want to respect and incorporate the work of other disciplines while developing the lawyer's role in metropolitan equity work. CLiME will provide a challenging learning opportunity for law students in the public's interest. Perhaps our greatest strength is that, as lawyers, we do not shrink from our obligation to offer considered criticism and prescription on the basis of firm evidence. Some call this "praxis." I think of it as doing social justice in the service of the social contract. We aim to re-define interest convergence.

Doable Homemade Doughnuts
Don't let a fear of frying stand between you and warm, freshly made doughnuts. They're easier than you think
NEVER UNDERESTIMATE the power of doughnuts—to comfort, to tempt, even to time travel. Proust can keep his madeleine. One bite of just-fried, cinnamon-dusted dough and—presto—it's three decades ago, and I'm curled in the rear seat of my parent's Jeep Wagoneer, bouncing down some Vermont back road, clutching a paper bag of old-fashioned fritters still hot from the fryer.
Trendy versions (Bacon-flavored! Pac-Man-shaped!) may have novelty appeal, but they're not exactly fodder for nostalgia. And while America may run on Dunkin, the rounds of my reveries are rustic affairs, not factory-made. The tender crumb of a classic doughnut has a life span shorter than a mayfly's and so, whenever possible, should be consumed a la minute. That's why it's impossible to trump homemade.
Consider this a call to arms: For one morning, forget your calorie counting and your fear of hot oil, and give DIY doughnuts a try. The process isn't nearly as scary or laborious as you might think. Generally speaking, doughnuts fall into two camps: yeast-raised and cake. The former (which includes jelly doughnuts and Boston cremes) use a yeast-leavened dough that rises twice before frying, yielding a pastry that's at once rich and airy. The latter (like old-fashioneds, with their distinctive ridged shape, and most chocolate doughnuts) get a quicker lift from a chemical leavener like baking powder—which means if you start heating a few inches of oil while you're mixing your dough, you can be tearing into a plate of freshly made doughnuts within an hour.
'While America may run on Dunkin, the rounds of my reveries are rustic affairs, not factory-made.'
From there, doughnuts can go in a million directions. But at this time of year, when market stalls are still stacked high with apples and jugs of their fresh-pressed juice, I want a cider doughnut. Moist and golden, sturdy yet delicately sweet, they are possessed of a plainness that in no way diminishes their deliciousness. I've sampled versions from orchards all around the Northeast, but at home my go-to recipe is a ruthlessly simple one adapted from Judith and Evan Jones's definitive Yankee cookbook "The L.L. Bean Book of New New England Cookery."
Besides the cider, a batch of these cake-style beauties requires little but pantry staples and can be mixed and patted in the time it takes to brew a pot of coffee. Don't have a doughnut cutter? No worries. Using a bottle cap and a drinking glass will get you the shape you want. Then, simply fry the rounds and holes in a few inches of oil and transfer the lot onto paper towels to drain. Pop them in your mouth plain, or give them a quick toss with cinnamon and sugar.
If, however, you're a cook for whom the prospect of tangling with a pot of hot oil early in the day is just too much to contemplate, take heart. There is another way: baking in muffin-tin-like ring molds that yield doughnut-shaped cakes without any cutting or frying. I won't lie—for a long time I scoffed at baked doughnuts, dismissing them as mere cupcakes in drag. But recently, thanks in large part to "Glazed, Filled, Sugared & Dipped," an inspired collection of recipes by pastry chef Stephen Collucci and co-author Elizabeth Gunnison Dunn (a contributor to The Wall Street Journal), my skepticism has softened.
A platter of miniature blueberry-buttermilk doughnuts? Sign me up. "Morning Glory" doughnuts moistened with crème fraîche and pineapple? Yes, please! My favorites, barely sweet baked gingerbread doughnuts that Mr. Collucci created for his mom, couldn't be more ideal for the season: a traditional, Christmassy flavor in updated form. I've made a few adaptations to suit my cravings, amping up some of the spices, adding a simple glaze for a pop of sweetness and a bit of chocolate and cayenne for extra bite.
Are they dead ringers for fried doughnuts? No. But they are eminently dunk-worthy in their own right.
Apple Cider Doughnuts
Total Time: 45 minutes Makes: 18 doughnuts and holes
2 eggs
1 egg yolk
1 cup unfiltered apple cider
⅓ cup dark brown sugar
1 cup granulated sugar
4 cups all-purpose flour
1 teaspoon baking powder
½ teaspoon baking soda
½ teaspoon salt
½ teaspoon nutmeg
4 teaspoons cinnamon
2 tablespoons canola oil plus more for frying
1. In a large bowl, beat together eggs and yolk. Stir in cider, brown sugar and ⅓ cup granulated sugar until combined. Set aside.
2. In a medium bowl, combine flour, baking powder and soda, salt, nutmeg and 2 teaspoons cinnamon. Working in batches, add dry ingredients to egg-sugar mixture. Add 2 tablespoons oil, stirring just until dough comes together. Place dough on a generously floured surface. Working the dough as little as possible, use a rolling pin or the palms of your hands to roll or pat it out to a ½-inch thickness. Using a well-floured 2- or 3-inch doughnut cutter, cut dough into circles. Transfer doughnuts and holes to parchment-lined baking sheets and chill in freezer 10 minutes.
3. In a wide, shallow bowl, combine remaining granulated sugar and cinnamon and set aside. Place a Dutch oven over moderate heat and fill with 2-3 inches oil. When a thermometer inserted in oil reads 375 degrees, place 3-4 doughnuts in oil, taking care not to crowd. When doughnuts float to the top and begin to turn golden brown, flip and fry until golden all over, 2-3 minutes more. Transfer to a paper-towel-lined plate to drain. Repeat with remaining doughnuts and holes, testing oil periodically to maintain an even temperature. While doughnuts are still warm, toss in cinnamon-sugar mixture. Shake off excess and serve.

Baked Gingerbread Doughnuts With Vanilla Glaze
Total Time: 45 minutes Makes: 8-10 doughnuts
For the doughnuts:
2 tablespoons vegetable oil, plus more for greasing pan
1 cup all-purpose flour
¼ cup dark brown sugar
¾ teaspoon baking powder
¼ teaspoon baking soda
1 teaspoon cinnamon
½ teaspoon ground ginger
¼ teaspoon nutmeg
⅛ teaspoon allspice
¼ teaspoon salt
2 teaspoons unsweetened cocoa powder
1½ teaspoons espresso powder
⅛ teaspoon cayenne pepper
1 egg
¼ cup sour cream
1 tablespoon honey
1 tablespoon molasses
2 tablespoons whole milk
For the glaze:
1½ cups confectioners' sugar
1½ teaspoons vanilla extract
4 tablespoons whole milk
1. Heat oven to 350 degrees. Grease a (6-doughnut) doughnut pan and set aside.
2. Make doughnuts: In a large bowl, combine flour, sugar, baking powder and soda, cinnamon, ginger, nutmeg, allspice, salt, cocoa powder, espresso powder and cayenne. In another large bowl, whisk together egg, sour cream, honey, molasses, 2 tablespoons oil and milk. Working in batches, stir dry ingredients into wet ingredients until just combined.
3. Using a small spoon, drizzle batter into doughnut pan, filling each doughnut mold halfway. Place in oven and bake until springy to the touch, 10-12 minutes. Transfer finished doughnuts to a baking rack to cool slightly. Repeat process with remaining batter.
4. Make glaze: In a bowl, combine confectioners' sugar, vanilla and milk. While doughnuts are still warm, place them, smooth-side down, in glaze, then turn over quickly and transfer to a rack to dry.

When the electrons flow in a circuit, so are those the electrons from the battery or are those the electrons of conductor like copper wire, etc..which are flowing in the circuit?
When you first connect the battery the electrons flowing are mainly the electrons that were in the conduction band of the copper wire before you connected the battery. However the electrons obviously have to flow through the battery to complete the circuit. If we take the example of an alkaline battery, electrons flowing into the battery anode react with MnO$_2$ to produce Mn$_2$O$_3$ and hydroxide anions. At the cathode Zinc reacts with the hydroxide ions to produce zinc oxide and electrons, and these electrons flow into the wire.
So while initially most of the electrons flowing are from the copper conduction band, the electrons flowing into the wire from the battery cathode have come from the chemical reaction in the battery. If you wait long enough all the electrons flowing will have come from the battery and all the electrons originally in the copper conduction band will have flowed into the battery anode and reacted there.
You can never tell them apart, so I think this question makes no sense. All electrons are identical, there's no such thing as electrons from the battery or electrons in the wire..

Where does it come from or how is it chosen over regular Maple Necks - is there a tonal difference?
Birdseye maple is a cut of wood from one of several types of hard maple, most commonly Acer Saccharum. The only real difference between birdseye and regular hard maple is the figure, which doesn't really do anything to the tone of the wood. It's still as bright as any other type of maple. Scientists really have no clue as to why the figure occurs, but we guitarists are sure glad it does ;).
I would simply consider it an aesthetic benefit--and what a benefit! Under gloss it looks beautiful!
The name "maple" for wood is very ambiguous (there are many subspecies and also other species sold under this name). If one stays with the "commercial" names, on an aesthetic level there is plain maple, flamed maple, quilted maple and birdseye maple.
It can have really complex figures that reveal themselves fully after varnish. The effect and shapes are very diverse from one example to the other. Here is an example of a guitar neck (found at 1.bp.blogspot.com):
Plain maple can be very nice in its simplicity (image taken from the Gibson Website).
As jduv said, there is probably no impact on sound but it may require special care when carving and finishing.
There are so many things to look for such as the quality of the neck shape itself, hardness, drying process, etc. as explained in other questions here.

Has anybody worked on testing Cassandra DB which is a NOSQL distributed DB? What are the important things to be taken into account while doing this?

What you really need to interested in is testing each component in isolation.
Integration level and above becomes more challenging to test. If you are using automated tests then these cannot rely on putting data into a database and expected it to be there straight away. There is a replication time that you would need to wait which could significantly slow down the tests. While unlikely, there are reason that this could be in excess of 30 seconds or so if the connection between databases is broken so how.
An approach that I would go down would be to focus significantly on unit testing each of the components with the data layer mocked. This will allow you to ensure that the rest of the application is functioning correctly.
This leaves you to determine if the data access layer is functioning correctly. For this a once through the application driving it from the UI will help you determine if the application is writing and reading data from the NOSQL database. You may also want to write a small set of integration test to check this automatically for you.
Essentially the main problem you will encounter is the replication of data between database. You will also need to remember that there are scenarios where someone could delete a record on one node, and someone else could edit it on another node while the deletion event has not replicated. Does you application handle this?
So, what to take into account:
Maybe later I'll remember more stuff to check ...

The season of the falling stars started and I want to try to achieve some picture of stars and falling one too.
I see a lot of picture with a immense number of stars but they are still. Now I'm concern about the shutter speed.
What is the amount of time at a given aperture to get still bright stars without trails? And what are your tips for taking good picture? I need to know because I'm not sure if the 30" of my EOS are enough or I need to but a remote bulb.
The season of the falling stars started and I want to try to achieve some picture of stars and falling one too.
Well, the gist is - it depends on how picky you are about trails. It will almost always start to trail immediately, but it may not be noticeable until a certain point.
Additionally, forget normal exposure rules for astrophotography. It's generally about getting the most light in that you can. The odds of overexposure are pretty slim unless you're in a very light polluted area.
First off, your aperture will have pretty nothing to do with the amount of time before you get star trails. Its strictly a function of the rotation of the earth and the perceived trails is a function of your exposure time vs the focal length. The shorter the length, the longer you can track without noticeable trails.
These times will vary somewhat, as the apparent rotational movement of the sky varies between the poles and the equator.
If you want to track longer, you're going to need a tracking mount of some kind that follows the sidereal rotation. You can get a dedicated unit like an Astrotrac, you can piggy back on a telescope that already does tracking, or you can build a barndoor mount. See this question for more ideas there (stacking multiple images is covered there as well).
Other tips:
All this applies to falling stars as well, you just need to try to catch a star fall during one of your exposures.
There's also whole lots of general AP information in this question as well.
I use the "Rule of 600". Divide your focal length into 600, and the result is your maximum exposure without the stars trailing. So with a 50mm lens, you can have a 12 second exposure. With a 15mm lens, a 40 second exposure.
You generally want as wide an angle as possible, between 10-20mm if you have it. 30 seconds is fine if you bump the ISO up to say 1600.
If your camera has a long exposure noise reduction, use it.
Use a lens hood to block stray light.
Focus is difficult. You may want to prefocus in daylight and take note of where infinity is - hopefully you can use a flashlight and manually focus to that point (or use gaffer tape to lock it down)
You need a fairly long shutter, 30 seconds+ but the problem is that you will quickly run into tracking issues. Unless you have a system set up to counteract the earth's rotation, you will begin to move within your frame.
There are lots of systems out there, here's one example, but the basic idea is just a motorized camera mount that moved opposite to the earth's rotation, allowing you to take long exposures of stars.
Here are some tips from these websites: http://www.jamesvernacotola.com/Resources/How-To-Photograph-Star-Trails/12233655_V7cX4D http://www.nikonusa.com/en/Learn-And-Explore/Article/h0ndzhvw/photographing-the-night-sky-star-trails.html

In the presented case study, an innovative design for an integrated CGC-DeC3 system introduces part of the heavier condensate from the early compression stages directly into the high-pressure (HP) depropanizer.
In many liquid-cracking ethylene facilities, the multistage
charge-gas compressor (CGC) is used with a front-end
depropanizer (DeC3) process. The optimal design and
operation of an integrated CGC-DeC3 system can
provide energy savings and other benefits. In the presented
case study, an innovative design for an integrated
CGC-DeC3 system introduces part of the heavier
condensate from the early compression stages directly into the
high-pressure (HP) depropanizer. Result: The
compression work and CGC stripper loading are reduced. This
design also lowers heat duty for part of the heat-exchanger
network. Using rigorous simulation, this new conceptual design
can offer significant energy-saving potential.

Engineers and designers are highly skilled individuals. Forcing them to enter design changes using tables, forms and spreadsheets is unproductive and uneconomical, and it increases the likelihood of human error—this is the way that most instrumentation software systems currently work. For too long, software vendors have denied engineers and designers the simple practicality of a graphical visual engineering interface with "drag and drop" capability and inbuilt intelligence, ensuring changes are automatically replicated into all the associated data and databases.

I have a huge text file (~1GB) and sadly the text editor I use won't read such a large file. However, if I can just split it into two or three parts I'll be fine, so, as an exercise I wanted to write a program in python to do it.
What I think I want the program to do is to find the size of a file, divide that number into parts, and for each part, read up to that point in chunks, writing to a filename.nnn output file, then read up-to the next line-break and write that, then close the output file, etc. Obviously the last output file just copies to the end of the input file.
Can you help me with the key filesystem related parts: filesize, reading and writing in chunks and reading to a line-break?
I'll be writing this code test-first, so there's no need to give me a complete answer, unless its a one-liner ;-)

Much as we love Batman, we certainly don't think it's a wise idea to go out into the streets looking for crime to fight. People have guns. They will shoot you in the face. So naturally HBO's latest documentary Superheroes (about real life superhero crime fighters) makes us incredibly uncomfortable. Watch the first trailer.
The best part is when they interview fictional hero-creator Stan Lee, and his only thoughts are, "This concerns me." Want to fight crime? Become a cop. Still, this documentary looks like it could be good masochistic fun.
The only superheroes out of the bunch who actually look semi-intimidating are the kids from Brooklyn (naturally). But then again, guns. Get a better look at these vigilantes with this collection of superhero profiles.
Here's a fella from San Diego who at least verbalizes that he will probably die fighting crime.

I wanted to see what kind of strategies people use to help make sure they are on time or early for the days events. I am struggling in this area of my life especially since my new baby has come into this world and was hoping you get some good advice on how to improve in this area.
One thing that is amazingly simple and helpful is to schedule travel time on your calendar. If you need 5 minutes to walk from your office to a meeting, schedule that 5 minutes. If it is a 40 minute drive across town, schedule that 40 minutes.
Be explicit on your calendar that you are scheduling travel time. I end up with "en route meeting X" entries a lot. These are scheduled events just like anything else on the calendar, with reminder alarms and reserving the time. There is a little overhead involved in making the calendar entries, but that's more than repaid by arriving at a meeting with a little time to spare, instead of rushing in late.
My simple technique, and one which I used really well when my kids were little, was to always plan to be early. And plan in a level of earliness which meets your level of uncertainty and the importance of your meeting.
For example for walking to the next door office for a chat with a colleague, I would aim to get there a minute or so early, but for flying from an airport 200 miles away for a foreign holiday I would aim to be a few hours early, to account for possible traffic holdups, getting lost, breakdowns etc.
You can play a game with it, and always try to make sure you are first on a conference call, or get the first seat in a meeting room; or you can just feel happy that no-one is having to wait for you.
I don't like to be late - it just doesn't feel right; every time I realize that (if I am late) I will have to (all the time while I am driving) worry about being late; I don't like to worry about things if I don't have to -> I am doing my very best to leave on time
I know it all sounds trivial, but it works for me.

The 9 Most Terrifying Attempts to Improve Popular Foods
#4. Funky Fries
Here is something you would think the board of directors wouldn't want to hear when you're trying to pitch a new food product:
"Simply put, they're not what a potato is supposed to be."
But you'd be wrong, because that's how H.J. Heinz decided to market Funky Fries, and somebody fucking went for it.
Sexy: Something else potatoes aren't supposed to be.
In case you're the type of square cat that needs to be told, Funky Fries are french fries that come in a variety of flavors like chocolate, cinnamon, sour cream and blue. Yes, blue. As that's not an actual flavor, we're going to venture a guess and say they either tasted like wintergreen, blueberry or engine coolant.
Hmmm... better find something to dip them in, then. How about...
#3. Colored Ketchup
A few years ago Heinz decided that the few people in the world still not eating ketchup must be objecting to the awful tomato-red color. So, they started cranking out ketchup in a horrifying green. And purple. And pink. And orange. And blue.
It worked for a while because kids tend to go apeshit over anything that makes their parents uneasy, and it was the closest they could come to eating paint without waking up in the hospital.
So what's for dessert?
#2. Infused Fruit
Always looking to improve nature's mistakes, science realized that the fatal flaw of fruit is that it tastes like fruit. Their mission to correct this started with the "Grapple", an apple that they have modified to taste like grape (by injecting grape flavoring into it somehow).
But leave it to the Japanese to find other, more terrifying applications for such technology, which is why you can buy fruit that's been infused with a variety of other tastes, such as the white chocolate-infused strawberries pictured below. The process sucks the chocolate into the pores of the fruit, turning the guts of the berry in to a pinkish-white, stringy, chocolaty substance.
Pinkish-white, stringy; just like Swaim.
They also claim to have an apple infused with red wine, which means they may be on the cusp of tapping into the massively lucrative undercover alcoholic market who have been waiting all their lives for a vodka-infused banana they can bring to work.
So what do we serve all of this on? How about...
That baby is gonna be plastered.
#1. Edible Plates
Have you ever been so hungry, so insanely famished that, after devouring your dinner, you've chomped down on the dinner plate?
Neither have we, but that doesn't mean we can't. Not anymore, anyway. Welcome to the 21st century, where the green movement has taken eating to a whole new level with the creation of edible plates.
Edible plates are made from cassava, a versatile plant which can be used to feed animals, treat malaria, diarrhea and irritable bowel syndrome and, apparently, to make cookware easier to consume.
What a great plant. It does so many good things.
Oh, and it can also cause paralysis of the legs if not processed correctly. But that's just a few less steps that will be treading on Mother Earth, right Moonbeam?
More like Casshole-ava.
Now, some of you are thinking that we already have things like taco salads where you "eat the plate" made of fried tortilla. So what's the problem?
Well, in those cases the edible bowl is sitting on another plate, the way food is meant to. This thing, on the other hand, is going to sit directly on your filthy table where, just hours earlier, your roommate just snorted cocaine and then had sex without your knowledge. Then you're going to eat it.
The plate, not your coked-up roommate.
This means you'll need another plate under this one to protect it from whatever filthy surface you're eating on. And if that plate is edible then you'll need yet another to protect that one, creating an endless stack of plates that will inevitably lead to madness.
