Joint Homeschooling
Q: My husband and I have a dilemma. My stepson resides with us for 60 percent of each week. Unfortunately, his mother doesn't understand the importance of her son being stable through his school years and insists that she have him on Thursday and Friday as opposed to Saturday and Sunday. He is going to a school near his mother's house (by court order), but it is 50 miles from our home. Since we have him for three days of the week, he has to travel about three hours each day to and from school.
We were thinking of homeschooling him, but we're afraid he wouldn't have interaction with a group or with other children. We are becoming foster parents and his foster siblings will be in a public school local to our home.
My stepson has ADD and has a hard time paying attention -- especially in a group environment. This was one area I wanted him to be part of, so that he will learn to deal with and react to other children his age. He is extremely bored when he is home all day with no other kids.
I used to work as a special education aide and I am pretty much staying at home now. His natural mother sits at home collecting welfare, so both of us would have the time. Please let me know if you think homeschooling may be the solution to our problem.
A: There certainly is a lot going on in your household! I'll try to address each issue that you raised, but first, I'm going to assume the split-week situation has been okayed with the courts. It just seems like a difficult arrangement for any child. Have you all been to family counseling? Professional advice from a trained therapist might be very helpful to your stepson, his natural mother, and you and your husband.
You mentioned your son has ADD, and has difficulty learning in a group environment. In my experience, children who are labeled ADD appear to experience a remarkable improvement when they homeschool. Often they appear to be symptom-free by the second year. Free of distractions and a curriculum that does not support their needs, these kids often discover that they love learning -- many for the first time in their lives.
You mentioned he is bored at home all day with no friends -- any child (or adult) would certainly feel the same way. Fortunately, homeschooling isn't about staying home all day, or I never would have made it through the last 10 years! For my family, homeschooling is a way of life. By contacting homeschool support and resource groups, I've met many families who learn at home. We enjoy field trips, park days, sports, group activities, clubs, and travel opportunities, just to name a few. In fact, we are really only home one morning during the week -- and with homeschool soccer starting, that day will no longer be free. With the resources available to families today, there is no reason for any homeschooling family to be stuck in the house all day, and certainly none of the homeschoolers I've met homeschool in that manner.
Now the complicated part. Do you think the boy's natural mother has the ability to homechool? Is she willing to read about home learning, network with other homeschooling families, and help your stepson learn at home? The rewards are great, but homeschooling involves a serious commitment by a generous, loving parent. I think you would do well, but you'll have the additional burden of communicating regularly with this woman, and maybe even occasionally working together for your stepson's benefit. I certainly admire your intention to help your stepson, but I would think seriously about what this joint venture would involve. Good luck!

WEIRTON - It's not beginning to look like Christmas just yet, but plans are underway to usher in the holiday season with the Weirton Christmas Parade.
This year's parade, organized by the Weirton Area Chamber of Commerce, will be held at 6 p.m. on Nov. 30, with a television broadcast beginning at 6:30 p.m.
In recognition of the Mountain State's sesquicentennial this year, the chamber has selected a theme of "A West Virginia Christmas," and has invited the area's representatives of the state Senate and House of Delegates to serve as the parade's grand marshals.

Preparations are underway for the annual Weirton Christmas Parade, organized by the Weirton Area Chamber of Commerce. This year's parade will be held at 6 p.m. Nov. 30 along Main Street. -- File photo
"We thought it appropriate to end the year with a West Virginia Christmas, and even more appropriate to have our local state officials as grand marshals," Chamber President Brenda Mull said.
The parade is being sponsored this year by First Choice America Community Federal Credit Union, Nick's Auto Sales, Weirton Medical Center and West Virginia Northern Community College.
One attraction added to last year's event will be making its return.
"We will be having fireworks again this year," Mull said.
Hancock County Savings Bank is serving as the grand finale sponsor for the fireworks, which will take place immediately following the parade, with additional support from MedExpress, Marsh Pipe and Supply and FirstEnergy.
According to Chamber Program Director Patty Soplinski, there currently are about 40 participants registered in the parade, including nine commercial floats. The deadline to register is Nov. 15.
The chamber also will be holding two meetings to pass out information on the parade rules and lineup to all participants.
"There will be two mandatory meetings," Soplinski said. "They can choose either of those."
Those meetings currently are set for 5 p.m. to 7 p.m. Nov. 26, and 8 a.m. to 10 a.m. Nov. 27.
Chamber officials explained participants will have to be checked in by 5 p.m. the day of the parade.
"The roads will be shut down at 5 p.m.," Mull said. "People participating need to be at their positions by then."
For more information on the parade, or to register, contact the Weirton Area Chamber of Commerce at (304) 748-7212.

Since the mid-70s, Charvel has been making flashy and powerful electric guitars that push the limits. Founded by Wayne Charvel in Azusa, California, "Charvel's Guitar Repair" quickly earned a reputation as the place to go for repair work, custom finishing and parts upgrades. As demand grew for the Charvel work, the company began building their own instruments. Charvel's early signature guitar featured a Fender Stratocaster with a humbucking pickup. Often referred to as a "superstrat," this guitar (along with other Charvels) was popular with heavy metal guitarists of the day including Edward Van Halen, Richie Sambora, Randy Rhodes, Vinnie Vincent, Warren DeMartini and more. Today, artists as varied as El Hefe of NoFX, Terry Balsamo of Evanescence, Mike Martin of All That Remains, Rich Ward of Fozzy, Jake Kelly of Strung Out and more trust Charvel electric guitars to deliver the crunch and dynamic tones they need on the stage.
Charvel offers instruments for players of every skill level, all made with quality and durability in mind. Beginners and first time buyers will definitely love learning on an instrument like the Desolation Skatecaster 3 or the Charvel Desolation Double Cutaway 2 because of their great tonal and stylistic options. Players with a little more experience will want to check out the San Dimas SD1-2H Electric Guitar or the SoCal SC1-2H Electric Guitar for their scorching sounds and overall incredible feel. If you're an artist who likes to make a memorable impression, taking the stage with a Charvel Desolation DST1-FR Star Electric Guitar is definitely a good way to get noticed. This guitar is highlighted by a legendary star body profile that casts an incredible silhouette as you chug through your favorite jams. Whatever your style or interest, a Charvel will deliver.
Theres a reason Charvel maintains its legendary reputation. Its because of a dedication to quality instruments and forward thinking. With a commitment to all things rock, a Charvel electric guitar is a must-have for any serious guitarist.

If you could travel to one place in the world this Christmas, where would you go?
19 Answers answer
Iceland. To be in a cozy little cottage in the middle of amazingly stark and beautiful nowhere with the only lights in my universe coming from the fireplace, the stars, and the Northern Lights. I am obsessed with this idea lately. I have promised myself: one day.
HOME with my wife. We never get to spend Christmas that way because there are too many family parties. I'm not a party pooper - just would be nice to stay home for once.
That is a very tough question. But since the Valley of the Kings in Egypt is at the top of my bucket list, I'll pick that. Other choices include Machu Picchu, Easter Island, and one of the big animal preserves in Africa. I am going to be spending it at home with my furry family, which is a great choice as well. We'll have some friends over in the afternoon for cake and gifts, but most of the day will just be me, the dog and the cat.
The Grand Canyon. The above mentioned places all sound good, too.
I am liking the Egypt suggestion.
I would also be down with Spain or Japan.
I was in Australia for Xmas in 2008 and loved it there :)
At this point, anywhere but where I am now. With one crazy stressor after another hitting me all in the past few weeks (none of which actually involve Christmas), I'm thinking a cabin, in the woods, surrounded by nothing but trees and snow sounds great! Of course I'd want my furbabies with me (my three cats).
But for an actual destination....Japan. I've been obsessed with the culture lately, and would love to be there!
I see the idea of the northern lights (aurora borealis), and I'd love to see either those or the southern lights (aurora australis). That's the type of thing that fascinates me about our world, it's amazing! I see there are many places you can see them...I think I'll spend the coming year planning myself a visit to see one or the other!
Though it is quite rainy there right now, the Maldives.
One of the most wonderful places on the planet.
Italy. Rome or Sorrento. Or back to Torremolinos, Spain. So loved the Christmas I spent there.
North Pole. I hear they have a killer Christmas Day party.
Ideally, with @narfcake in Hawaii. :)
West Virginia to be with my parents who are all alone this Christmas. Since I can't do that I'm going to Bruges.
@jha1223: Wow, it looks amazing! Also amazingly expensive. I love the undersea bedroom. You've just given me something to add to my bucket list.
@moondrake: It is a little bit on the expensive side. But, for that place it is totally worth it.
I would make one long train trip of it and go up the east coast periodically stopping off to visit friends along the way.
@inkycatz: I'd totally demand you stop and say hi to me on the way! :)
Christmas Island in the [EDIT:] Indian Ocean. 80° year round, little red crabs that march from the beach to the forest and back, English-speaking locals...
Home. Home is the place to be for Christmas. But you can go somewhere awesome the next day and stay for the new year. Like Antarctica. We left on 12/26 and spent an awesome New Year's Day there, out on zodiac boats, surrounded by humpback whales. It is a truly awe-inspiring place to visit.

If I give all RAM to SQL Server, it will use it's own pattern to determine what RAM to allocate for what.
If I allocate portion of RAM as RAM Disk and put tempdb into that disk it will force RAM allocation for tempdb. This could be helpful if there are usage scenarios where SQL Server refuses to allocate RAM for tempdb and uses it for something else.
So I wonder if those usage scenarios exist where it makes sense to force RAM allocation for tempdb by using RAM Disk, thus overriding SQL Server decision for RAM allocation.
I was kind of asking this here: Can sufficient increase of available RAM eliminate usage of tempdb when querying read-only database in SQL Server?, but didn't get desired and specific response, so I am asking it differently now.

When writing about the course of his remarkable 50-year career, George Nelson described a series of creative "zaps" - moments of out-of-the-blue inspiration "when the solitary individual finds he is connected with a reality he never dreamed of." It was these zaps that would lead to the creation of some of the most original furniture designs of the 20th century - including the Coconut Chair, the Marshmallow Sofa, and the Basic Cabinet Series.
An early zap came in the 1930s, when he was an architectural student in Rome. Before returning home, an idea struck him: He would travel Europe and interview leading modern architects, hoping to get the articles published in the U.S. He succeeded, and in the process introduced the U.S. design community to the European avant-garde. This set in motion a sequence of what he called "lucky" career breaks that were really the inevitable outcomes of his brilliance as a designer, teacher, and author.

Friendly: Malta U21's 0-3 Sweden U21's
My 1st win as Sweden U21 boss. We were pretty average in the 1st half yet we still found ourselves 2-0 up at the break. Emil Akesson and Stefan Israelsson with the goals. In the 2nd half we were the far better team but only scored 1 more, Robert Ericsson getting our 3rd.
League: Tord 0-0 Helsingborg
We seem to be losing our way a bit now, more droped points at a game we were looking to win.
League: IK Sirius 2-0 Tord
Was always going to be a tough match, especially as we got off to a terrible start by conceding twice. We rallyed somewhat in the 2nd half but the lead was too much for us to doing anything about.
League: Tord 1-1 Malmo FF
Our winless streak goes to 4 now as our title challenge is starting to ebb away. Malmo scored against the run of play in the 1st half, Erik Carlsson (YP41) got the equaliser in the 56th min but we couldn't grab the winner that we deserved.
In other news the draw for the Euro Cup 2nd qualifying round has been made and we have been given:
They are from Azerbaijan and have been in the Euro Cup 9 seasons in game, during this time they have played 22 matches and won just 3 of them. They have never got past the 2nd qualifying round lets hope it stays that way.

Why do u love it?
"Sometimes you just have to pee in the sink." - Charles Bukowski
It's snappy, looks good, is stable and just works. It really should get a lot more attention, though.
Happy user of first xfce then Xubuntu for ages now.
switched over from Ubuntu 10.04.4 to now Xubuntu 12.04 and loving it. the XFCE interface is snappy and doesn't have a terrible amount of background apps running. This is critical for 7 year old hardware like mine but to be honest, i will stick with Xubuntu even when I get new hardware this tax return time which is very soon.
I also love it because XFCE is utilized by Mythbuntu which I also run as my home built DVR system

When i first tried Xubuntu back in 2006 it was buggy,the panels would disappear etc.so i would always go back to Gnome.but that's all changed,I believe that Xubuntu is one of the best solid systems out there. it just keeps getting better, I do Appreciation Xubuntu.
Me too! Using Xubuntu for 2 years now. What I like most is it's not Unity! Plus all my favourite Gnome apps are included as standard, it seems. It's quite nice, except for Xfburn, which is is buggy and under-loved, so far as I can tell. I have recently discovered the ncurses cd burner cdw, which I quite like though.
Plus, gnumeric seems to be an excellent spreadsheet software!

Do you like the app better than the website?
I went to the Weather Channels website this morning and realized that I like the app on my iPhone much better than I do the actual website. So my question is, is there any apps that you prefer over the actual website?
19 Answers answer
There are a few. I like perusing Reddit on my phone more than on the site itself, primarily because the next page loads automatically. It messes up a little though, and sometimes sets me back pretty far, so that I have to scroll through a couple pages of what I've already seen to get to what I haven't. Pretty minor though.
That's the only one that comes to mind at the moment, but I'm sure there are others I have
I used to go to the Weather Channel website all of the time. But, they messed around with it; they tried to make it "all things for all people" and it is now an awful mess. I no longer go there.
Woot, are you taking notes?
My personal preference for weather related activities.
EDIT: Just read the ACTUAL question.
I cant, off the top of my head, think of any app I prefer to use over a website because most apps don't have the full range of things to do like a full website does (See Amazon.com App Vs. Amazon.com full website.)
They somewhat recently redesigned the site and I am not a fan. I would have to say the app has my vote now.
I agree about the Weather Channel app - much better than website. I find the website almost useless. On the topic of weather apps, MyRadar is awesome (the free version is perfectly fine) and I highly recommend it.
As to your original question, I much prefer the Twitter phone app over the web page, although the iPad app seems less functional to me. And the Weight Watchers app is much easier for general use for the things I need like tracking points, but doesn't have full functionality.
I agree on the Weather.com app. Much better than the website, except for the loading times. I hate that when the app opens, it shows me the "current" weather from the last time I opened it, and the screen is just frozen on that last image displayed for about 5-10 seconds while it retrieves updated info. I'd honestly rather look at a loading screen rather than yesterday's (misleading at this point) outdated info. Once it finally loads, though, it's great, and much easier to navigate than the website.
Other apps I prefer to the websites:
Oddly, my answer is Accuweather, another weather service. Love their app, though I love their older version better.
The app for cracked.com is far superior to the website. Better organization, not having to load multiple pages to read one article, and a more reader friendly design are all why I prefer reading via the app.
@bstring87: the only thing that bothers me about the Cracked app is that videos just...aren't there. At least for me (I use the free one, if it makes a difference). Oftentimes the writer will refer to a video, and there's just nothing there for me, one paragraph and then the next talking about the video.
Everything else about it is great through
Apps are better.
Here are some examples.
Youtube is more stable.
email I use multiple accounts and a unified folder. I can add Widgets.
Accuweather has a nice widget. as does palmary weather.
Creigslist this is my fav https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.mufumbo.craigslist.notification.android
The app is better because its short and to the point. You dont need to go searching for what you want like on the website
i really like the new woot app :)
twitter. Not that I ever go on. but when i do it's on my phone. easier to navigate and see topics or whatever
I like my facebook app better than the site, I can read more stories rather than the edited version I get online.
I hate websites that force their pathetic mobile versions of the website, even if you have the settings set to use the full website. Do people realize how lame and useless the navigation is on some of these?
The local news site in my city forces you to their mobile page and it only shows the top 3 news stories, if you want more you have to click through multiple links, yet their main website has all the stories on the front page
i prefer using the twitter app to see what's on sale at woot than the 27 actual woot home pages (each of which, amazingly enough, is still cluttered. some web sites cram everything on the home page, some you have to click on several different pages to see everything available, woot combines the worst of both worlds). does that count?
I like the app better too, it's simple and uncluttered.
But I'm with weather underground (wunderground.com) more for some odd reason.
They also have an iPhone app.
I don't use the Weather Channel, but I tend to prefer the website than the app on the things that I use(no facebook or twitter).
I like the Weather Channel app more than the site, too.
Pandora's app is better than the site experience as well.
Now that woot's site is so much more complex, the various third party apps really don't do it justice. I hope woot is working on their own app.

If I update my Ubuntu 12.04 through Update Manager, does it update to the Ubuntu 12.10?
It depends upon the settings in Update Manager.
While in the Update Manager application, select the
You will have three options to choose from:
If you are running 12.04 and have option 2 selected, you will not be prompted to upgrade to 12.10(or later). With Option 3 selected, Update Manager will offer you the ability to upgrade to 12.10.

No, it gives latest security updates and latest packages.
It does if you tell it to. But seeing as 12.04 is an LTS release, you have to enable the option in the update manager's properties, I believe.
yes it does if you check the option to do it .Otherwise it will only do security updates and other bug fixes.

TEMPLE (October 25, 2012) --- Part of a busy Central Texas hospital was evacuated Thursday, but it was just a drill for a situation the nurses, firefighters and police hope they'll never face in reality.
Training during the three-day exercise at Scott & White Hospital in Temple included what to do in the case of a fire, a gunman, or anything else that could force the evacuation of patients from the building.
Students from The University of Mary Hardin-Baylor acted as some of the patients Thursday during the drill in what used to be the pediatric intensive care unit.
Jennifer Henager works with the Scott & White Emergency Preparedness team and said one of the hardest parts about evacuations was getting patients on life support out of the building.
"There's a lot of equipment that has to go with them, if they're on a ventilator you actually have to manually bag and help them breath and that's why we do these types of situations," Henager said.
Temple Fire Chief Lonzo Wallace, Jr. said the training provided valuable skills for first responders.
"We've had all three shifts come through to do this exercise and we'll talk about things we need to improve upon," Wallace said.

Now, one year later, flowers from a worker's wedding rest in front of the restaurant and survivors of Stawicki's violence are determined not to let one man's horrific actions kill their sense of community.
Wednesday brought an unusual sight that's not so surprising to see in front of the quirky cafe -- the restaurant's general manager pouring coffee for commuters.
"It's a rough commute this morning, so figured out, come out here give people something good to look forward to," said Rice Powers.
Powers started working at the U-District cafe three weeks before Stawicki gunned down four customers and shot a mother of two during his getaway.
"I showed up and there were cops everywhere," Powers said.
He remembers kicking Stawicki out for excessive swearing days before the murders. Then, on May 30, an angry Stawicki returned to Racer.
"It was clearly planned," said Leonard Meuse, a baker at the cafe. "You don't walk in with two loaded pistols."
Meuse survived bullets to his face and chest.
"Less than a week ago, I had surgery again," he said. "Less than a month from now, I'm going back for something else."
One year later, Meuse suffers physically, but says mentally he's unstoppable.
"If you stop, it's kind of the same as giving up," he said.
Meuse, who still bakes bread, oatmeal cookies, and blueberry pies at the cafe, is haunted by words he heard inside his aid car.
"The thing that struck me the hardest was when they looked at the front one and said, 'Let's go, no rush on everyone else,'" Meuse said.
That's how he learned, his regulars, his friends, didn't survive. It's an image he's not willing to wipe out.
"It may not be the happiest day of your life," he said, "but life is all of those ups and downs, the goods and the bads. We're not human without both of them."
The cafe will be closed Thursday and the staff plans to hang out together before having an evening concert and a walk.

I have a question about the
renderArgs variable and where it is in the play framework 2.0 for either Java and scala. As far as I understand templates are now called with explicit arguments. You explicitly add the beans to your view, e.g.:
views.html.Application.index.render(customer, orders);
I am asking this for a specific user case I use in a current Play framework app. All controllers are annotated with
@With which implements a simple lookup if the username is in the session it loads the user account from the db and puts this in the renderArgs object.
Then the controller or the view can access this bean if needed. Very DRY. It seems as if play framework 2.0 seriously undermines this, having to explicitly add the account bean to each view call, e.g.:
views.html.Application.index.render(account, customer, orders);
Any advise? Any functionality for this available but not yet in the documentation?

Average retail gasoline prices in Nebraska have fallen 3.1 cents per gallon in the past week, averaging $3.56/g yesterday, according to GasBuddy's daily survey of 1,150 gas outlets in Nebraska. This compares with the national average that has fallen 1.9 cents per gallon in the last week to $3.61/g, according to gasoline price website GasBuddy.com.
Including the change in gas prices in Nebraska during the past week, prices yesterday were 29.3 cents per gallon lower than the same day one year ago and are 15.9 cents per gallon lower than a month ago. The national average has decreased 10.3 cents per gallon during the last month and stands 28.1 cents per gallon lower than this day one year ago.
"Gas prices in March came in like a lion and are going out like a lamb," said GasBuddy.com Senior Petroleum Analyst Patrick DeHaan. "For the first time in a decade gasoline prices are going to be lower at the end of March than the beginning. GasBuddy data shows that the last time this happened was in 2003 when prices fell a nickle between the start of the month and the conclusion. Essentially what we're seeing here this month is perhaps the largest monthly decrease ever during the month of March- a month that has almost always seen prices finishing the month substantially higher than where they entered," DeHaan said.

This is a great family meatloaf, crusty on top and juicy and meaty underneath.
Prep Time: 10M
Cooking Time: 1H-1H15M
Serves: serves 4-6
Dairy & nut free
- 1 tbsp vegetable nut-free oil plus extra for the loaf pan
- 1 onion, chopped
- 1 lb ground beef
- 8 oz ground pork or sausage
- 1 tbsp Worcestershire sauce (optional)
- 2 garlic cloves, crushed
- 11/2 cups breadcrumbs

Save Recipe
Add to shopping list
- Preheat the oven to 350° F. For a soft-sided loaf that is crusty on top, line a 9 × 15 in/2 lb loaf pan with wax paper. If you prefer to handmold the meatloaf, so that it will be crusty all the way around, line a baking sheet instead.
- Fry the onion in the oil for 4 minutes, until softened and golden.
- In a bowl, mix the meat, Worcestershire sauce, if using, garlic, breadcrumbs, herbs, tomato purée, and ketchup. Season well. Stir in the beaten egg to bind.
- Transfer the mixture to the prepared pan or shape into a loaf roughly 9 × 5 inches on the baking sheet.
- Bake in the oven for 1-11/4 hours until browned on top and the sides are beginning to shrink away from the pan.
- Turn out onto a warm plate. Pour any juices in the pan over the loaf. Slice and serve with mashed potatoes and gravy.
- Watch out for ketchup, since it may contain traces of wheat or dairy, so check the labels carefully. Make sure the Worcestershire sauce is gluten-free if need be.
- Other ingredients you can add include chopped green bell peppers, finely chopped chili peppers (if tolerated), cheeses (including dairy-free variants), or sautéed chopped mushrooms.
Egg free also dairy & nut free: Follow the recipe for Dairy & nut free, but substitute 1 tablespoon of potato flour mixed with 2 tablespoons of water in place of the beaten egg and stir into the mixture in step 3.
Gluten free also dairy & nut free: Follow the recipe for Dairy & nut free, but use gluten-free breadcrumbs. If using sausage rather than ground pork, make sure that no fillers that contain gluten have been added to the meat.

I am in the process of purchasing a home heated by propane..someone has removed the pigtail from the tank to the regulator..the tank fitting appears to be a quick disconnect type unfamiliar to me..the supply tank is 20% full which means I would like to utilize this gas to test the house appliances.
closed as not a real question by Steven, ChrisF♦ Nov 10 '12 at 10:53
It's difficult to tell what is being asked here. This question is ambiguous, vague, incomplete, overly broad, or rhetorical and cannot be reasonably answered in its current form. For help clarifying this question so that it can be reopened, visit the help center.If this question can be reworded to fit the rules in the help center, please edit the question.
If the house is unoccupied it's likely "winterized", which may include disconnecting the fuel tank. You'll likely have to contact the home owner or fuel supply company, and make an appointment for them to meet you and reconnect the tank temporarily.
DO NOT RECONNECT THE TANK YOURSELF. If you do not own the property, it is not yours to muck around with as you please.
Tester is absolutely right. Do not mess with the gas supply! It is disconnected for a reason, either for winterization or because of a problem or leak. It is not yours to modify.
I am a certified home inspector and see homes with utilities disconnected all the time. My advise for you is to be sure to have as a condition of sale, that a complete inspection be conducted by a licensed/certified technician or inspector with all utilities connected and appliances commissioned for testing. This is known as a "contingency" on your purchase and sale agreement. It is always the responsibility of the owner/seller to handle utilities.
The heating plant should be inspected for proper operation and possible defects only by a licensed person.

I think this particular webkinz might be a limited edition from Ganz but I'm not sure. If it is, I know I have nothing to worry about because mine is in the bag. The Love Frog is a pink frog with dark pink hearts and purple spots all over him. He is a fun addition to the Webkinz family, and he also has a smile from ear to ear. This tutorial will teach you how to draw love frog with four easy steps. The instructions are pretty basic, and you don't have to be a rocket scientist to draw him. I hope you have fun on your love frog journey.

Is it true that a compact polyhedron X with trivial homology groups (except $H_{0}(X)$ of course) is necessarily contractible? If yes, what is the approach in proving it? If not, do you see a counter-example?
To sum up the comments: when Poincaré worked on the beginnings of algebraic topology, he originally thought that a space with trivial homology groups must be contractible. (More precisely, he thought that having the homology group of a 3-sphere implies being a 3-sphere.) However, he soon found a counterexample, the Poincaré homology sphere, which led him to the construction of the fundamental group.
When taking the fundamental group into account, the statement is indeed true: if a space has trivial fundamental group and trivial higher homology groups, then it must be contractible. This is a consequence of Whitehead's theorem and the Hurewicz map.
The 2-skeleton of the Poincare homology sphere, also describable as the presentation complex of the binary icosahedral group, provides a counterexample to your original question. The fundamental group is of order 120 and is perfect, which implies that that $H_1$ is trivial. You can check from the group presentation $ <s,t | s^{-3}(st)^2, t^{-5}(st)^2> $ that the second homology group is trivial as well.
(This is the deleted answer the comments refer to; it was missing the hypothesis about simple-connectedness)
Using the Hurewicz theorem, you deduce at once that such a polyhedron [Edit: if it is simply connected] has trivial homotopy groups, so that it is weakly homotopy equivalent to a point. Since it is a CW-complex, then Whitehead's theorem tells you that the polyhedron is in fact contractible.

TxKWritten by: / / No Comments
TxK, the latest digital explosion from the mind of Jeff Minter, pays homage to old Tempest arcade games and follows on from Minter's previous 'tube shooters,' Space Giraffe, Tempest 2000 and Tempest 3000.
What You Need to Know
In TxK, you control a ship that shoots lasers down a tube while enemy ships come up the tube towards you. You can only move left and right along the surface, or 'edge' of the tube, so TxK is a 1D shooter like Space Invaders at its gameplay heart, even though it is built using psychedelic 3D vector graphics.
As you move you shoot down lanes of the tube, hitting enemies in that lane, but if they manage to get to the top of the tube they can destroy your ship by touching it. At your disposal is one smart bomb per stage and a number of power-ups such as a jump, an AI droid to help you, gun upgrades and points. Once you've cleared the stage of enemies, your power-ups are reset, you move on to the next stage through a brief warp sequence, and start all over again on a differently shaped 'tube.'
What's New?
The graphics enabled by the high resolution screen of the Vita are truly psychedelic and the gameplay is silky smooth.
TxK doesn't only feature conical or cylindrical levels, either, but instead has all sorts, from planes to S-shapes and even dynamically changing tubes. Each level has a different shape, different enemies and a different name.
What's the Same?
The base gameplay of moving left and right and shooting down a tunnel is similar to games created in the early 80s – which can be a good or bad thing, depending on your perspective.
You'll Enjoy TxK If You Liked…
… Jeff Minter's previous games like Space Giraffe (Xbox 360) or Tempest 2000 (Atari Jaguar), because they also have Minter's style and similar gameplay concepts.
… 1D shooter arcade games such as Space Invaders or Tempest, because their controls are as simple, although TxK is more similar to Space Invaders Extreme (also by Minter) because of the levels and modern vector graphics.
What I Liked
– 3.) Great vibrant, smooth graphics and animations. The vector style with black background works incredibly well on the Vita's AMOLED screen.
– 2.) Fun, upbeat music to accompany the visuals, making the game almost feel like one big music visualisation plugin.
– 1.) An irreverent style with lots of little quips and fun puns while you play (how many levels can you name after bovine themes?).
Favourite Moment
The moment where a level ends, signified by the complete disintegration of the tube you are shooting down into. The effect of the polygons breaking up into a million pieces is quite impressive.
What I Didn't Like
– 3.) Visuals that sometimes get in the way of knowing what's going on. Sometimes I would die without even knowing what killed me.
– 2.) An emphasis on the first thirty seconds of each level, before you get any power-ups – after you can jump and get an AI droid the level becomes much easier, but those initial seconds can be unreasonably difficult because of the lack of control you have during them.
– 1.) The left/right movement controls at times feel inverted. There are levels that have figures of eight or other convoluted shapes in which it's impossible to say which way your ship will go when you press in a direction. With enough play this slowly rights itself but I still die because my ship goes left when I think it should go right. Your ship also has significant momentum, so it can be difficult to get it into the column you want it in.
Least Favourite Moment
One stage I had to re-do twenty times until the first few power-ups were actually useful and I could survive. Most stages are not a problem but randomly one will be surprisingly tough, and this combined with the problem of dying without knowing why because of the visual overpopulation can make TxK frustrating at times.
TxK – Gameplay Trailer
What's Extra?
TxK has several additional modes and bonuses to invest time in:
– Normal mode: Choose a level you have reached before and start it with as many ships as you had and the score you had. This effectively allows you to play from your best position, a great addition considering there are 100 levels to beat.
– Pure mode: start at level 1 and play through until you die.
– Survival mode: no extra lives, no bonus stages just play until you die.
– Bonuses: collect four Warp Triangle power-ups to warp to a bonus stage.
– Online leaderboards are included, but don't even bother – there are savants out there.
The Bottom Line
Manic, Minter-made mastery might move many men. Myself? Maybe.

Constipation and Iron
Q: I've been feeding my two-month-old baby Enfamil with iron. He has been constipated a lot. Should I switch him to the low-iron formula?
A: No, you should not switch to a low-iron formula. While it is true that large doses of iron can cause constipation, the iron that is in infant formulas normally does not cause constipation. Studies confirm that when infants are given iron-fortified formula and then changed to low-iron formula, there is no difference in the frequency or hardness of the stools.
Another reason not to switch is that iron is important for your baby's nutrition and health. Babies who don't get enough iron can become anemic (low blood count), which is thought to contribute to slower neurological development in children.
If your baby is having hard stools, it's fine to give him a small amount of water each day. One ounce of plain water, once or twice daily, should help to make the stools softer. Be sure not to give too much plain water, and if the problem persists you should talk to your baby's doctor or nurse, to discuss other remedies.

I'm developing a tool that handles (electrical) parts. The parts can be created, viewed, modified, deleted, grouped and so on...
In order to make this question useful for future visitors I like to keep this question universal since managing parts in a DB is very common no matter what parts are in the DB (CDs, cars, food, students, ...).
I am thinking of 3 different DB designs:
Using a parts table and derived tables for specialized part attributes.
Parts (id, part_type_id, name) PartTypes (id, name) Wires (id, part_id, lenght, diameter, material) Contacts (id, part_id, description, picture)
Using only specialized part tables.
Wires (id, name, lenght, diameter, material) Contacts (id, name, description, picture)
Using a Parts-, PartTypes-, ValueTypes- and PartValues table that contain all values.
PartTypes (id, name) ValueTypes (id, part_type_id, name) Parts (id, part_type_id, name) PartValues (part_id, value_type_id, value)
Which one to prefer and why? Or is there a better one?
I am concerned about the DB queries. I don't want the queries become overly slow or complicated.
The number of types in the DB are pretty much given and static since they rest on a international standard and will be enhanced seldomly.

MERIDEN, Kan. (WIBW)_Neal Spencer hopes what's under this tarp will propel his family's business into the future.
Spencer first owned and operated, Ernest Spencer, a metal fabrication company and after 90 years of business, Spencer and another man had an idea.
"Just so happened we had a guy in our office that had an idea of a boat company and he was looking for a partner," said Spencer.
The other man was designer, Shane Lavalette.
"And one thing led to another and that's how we formed 'Dynamarine,'" said Lavalette.
The two men joined to form a new subsidiary, Dynamarine. Their passion for boats led to the unveiling of the 'Vapor 158' airboat.
Airboats are predominantly used in swamps and rivers for hunting and fishing. And Spencer claims this is different from any other on the market.
"Most specifically it's the quality and the craftsmanship," said Spencer.
Jefferson County Commissioner, Wayne Ledbetter, said the expansion is good news for the local economy.
"Some expansion which will lead to additional jobs and business activity..," said Ledbetter.

I have a template with 3 RichHtmlFields. Each field requires a date range to specify a "go live" date for that content. Each field is also driven by geographical location.
The scenario is entering data in each field with different date ranges for each field, for different locations. Is there a way to create a template and save this data directly to sharepoint?
If not, is there a way to override what/where the data saved/loaded into the template/web page?
Update: It is a custom page layout that uses a custom ContentType deployed through VS2010. Essentially I am trying to save the content entered by the site admin in the RichHtmlField in my own database. Then allow the admin to change the content, and date range in the same RichHtmlField. The page will then display the content to the user for the current date.
The admin also selects a location, so depending on where the user is coming from, the content will be displayed according to the current date and location.

First Listen: Passion Pit, 'Gossamer'
Take A Walk
Audio for this feature is no longer available.
Gossamer is a perfect title for Passion Pit's new record. The long-awaited follow-up to its breakthrough album, 2009's Manners, finds the band spinning shimmering silk from many intricately layered threads: airy synths, warm bass, crisp snares, crashing cymbals, singer Michael Angelakos' expressive falsetto. Each song positively glows.
Grace and delicacy encompass only part of Gossamer's appeal — at times, the record is bombastic, even brutal. "I'll Be Alright" opens with bass blasting, synths slashing and cymbals exploding in a wash of digital clipping, while snippets of baby-voiced cooing mimic the infectious melody Angelakos is about to introduce. It's daring, powerful and impressively nuanced.
Gossamer stands out for its depth and richness; its variety of textures. In "Cry Like a Ghost," chiseled, sampled squeals cut sharply through whirring keys and fuzzy low-end before opening up into a spectral, synthesized chorus. In "Constant Conversations," the band juxtaposes soft harmonies and concrete kicks to give the slow jam an R&B-style sway.
Gossamer vacillates like a torrid romance: Every moment is touch and go, on and off, quiet as a whisper and then loud as a yell. Angelakos' lyrics suggest a love life filled with ups and downs. "Cry Like a Ghost," for example, finds him remembering a relationship trapped in a vicious cycle: "Sylvia / Right back where you came from you're a pendulum / Heartbroken and numb." But he doesn't wallow in the sadness: Gossamer is pure catharsis. It's all about strength, moving forward, forgetting — and giving life to the party even as it doles out condolences to the lonely.

Ballet of Perm, Russia, US Tour - Spring '08aka "Tchaikovsky Ballet"
Posted 03 March 2008 - 04:39 AM
I'm waiting for the troupe to perform in a mixed bill of 19th-C classics two weeks from now, in Michigan, so bypassed the NYC stops. I'm not much of a Romeo fan, I'm afraid...maybe Martins' R+J killed it for me, for a while. Still, I'd love to read reports of Perm's version, their star dancers on this tour, the shape of their famous corps de ballet, etc. Their history and school (having produced N. Pavlova, Chenchikova, Fominikh, Kunakova, etc.) are definitely worthy of our attention.
This appears to be 'Great Soviet Ballet Troupes Month' in the USA -- companies from Tbilisi, Perm, St. Petersburg, etc. criss-crossing the country, coming soon to a college auditorium near you.
Posted 03 March 2008 - 07:27 AM
I went (a soviet ballet fan as I am, how could I have skipped a Norht-East event ;-))
To be frief (and more positive than negative)....
I loved the COMPANY (Strong, flexible (almost Eifman's extensions (which a classisist won't like, but I am fond of). First time I saw them was in Boston several years ago in Sleeping beauty, and liked a lot - same here
I LOVED THE COMPANY (solid strong, tall, handsome male dancers, greaceful, flexible Bellerinas)....
.... and I totally DISPISED the production, the choreography was BAD, and staging was horrible (then again, it's me, a fan of classics, and having seen 3 Kirov's R&J in DC and two ABT's R&J last year)... (I took tons' of notes of what I found questionable or out of place in the production - not sure that anyone cares to listen....
Ok, the COMPANY is great, the staging and choreography was very controversial and I hated it... but it's not ballet dancers who decide which production to dance...
Posted 03 March 2008 - 08:01 AM
Happy to read that the dancers are still in fine shape.

Thanks, YID. This is Nikolai Boyarchikov's production, right? If so, it's the same version performed by the St. Petersburg Maly-Mikhailovsky Theater group that Boyarchikov used ot run & is now headed by Ruzimatov.
Happy to read that the dancers are still in fine shape.
yes, unfortunately Perm "is stuck" with that production.... Don't get me started on how awkward I found it (compared to Lavrovsky (Kirov) and (less liked, personally) MacMillan's)...
with mullets to all male dancers; "kolhoz"/ pairs of dancers ALWAYS dancing along with R&J in their to be "just the two of them" adagios, in a neglected balcony stage, bedroom stage, and in tombs, actually that (extremely professional group of dancers - they danced WELL) was everywhere, wedding scene, Juliet looking for potion help with Friar Lawrence...but are they appropriate
whatever Mr. Boyarchichov tried to express, it was lost on me, i was distracted from R&J
then dressing Verona streed dancers in "socks" (put either character shoes or points on - those socks were awful), not having a Jester/Joker, having youngest looking Matronas (Lady Capulet & Montague) next to very (appropriately) old looking husbands. and the board/ceiling hanging over - what for? to stick the swards in it? bizzare...
PS: the Romeo - a guest artist Robert Gabdullin was very good. As per the brochure (another poor product, not mentioning that the company is actually from PERM, that was mentioned only in the bios of the dancers, and out of 7 dance bios, only Y.Araptanova and R. Gabdullin, aka R&J danced that night - why listing of the primas who are not dancing - bizzare
well, Sergey Zagorulko, Tybald; Ivan Poroshin, Mercutio; and Dmitriy Tenitskiy, Benvolio - were very good

All of the Perm's stars performed in excerpts from the three big Tchaikovsky ballets, including the complete Ballroom Act of Swan Lake, accompanied by their full home-theater orchestra.
A five-star balletic event in a most unlikely place, in a gorgeous theater (Wharton Center of Mich. State Univ., seating 2,400). VERY artistically-knowledgeable audience, I could tell. Instant standing-o and 'bravos' in all the right places.
I'll write a full review tonight or early tomorrow...very busy day in office. For now, I could not wait to get the word out about the magnificence of the Perm troupe and this classical program, in particular. WOW!!!!!!!!!

What a treat it was, in this remote outpost (we're talking the rural Upper Peninsula), to watch 24 (!) swans dancing around the prince and Odette in a state-of-the-art venue.
Hope those of you who can will see them on somewhere on their tour.
Posted 20 March 2008 - 07:33 PM
Did the company draw much of an audience? What sort of response did they get? On the one hand, I can imagine ballet-starved hoards clamoring to get in, but on the other, has there been much opportunity to nurture an audience?
I hope you'll introduce yourself with a few words in our Welome Forum.

Tchaikovsky Spectacular
March 15, 2008
Wharton Center Cobb Theater
East Lansing, Michigan
PART I Divertissements from Tchaikovsky Ballets
Sleeping Beauty Act III Grand Pas de Deux (F. Lopukhov version of 1920s, as revived in Perm)
Yaroslava Araptanova Aurora
Robert Gabdullin Prince Desire
Immediately we were treated to a textbook-perfect example of classical ballet as it should be and used to be presented in St. Petersburg several generations ago. Absolute elegance personified by the golden young pair of the troupe, svelte-blonde-and-gorgeous Araptanova and the soaring brunette Gabdullin although at present he is best as a soloist than partner in adagio.
Swan Lake Act II Adagio (White Swan pdd)
Elena Kulagina Odette
Vitaly Poleschuk Siegfried
Female Corps de Ballet
A lovely rendition of this most romantic of Imperial Russian adagios, framed by the picture-perfect precision of the Perms swans. It is a joy to see the controlled technique and miraculous arms and fingers of Kulagina, the troupes long-time prima. Poleschuk provided elegant support.
Swan Lake Act II Cygnets dance
Yana Alfirnova, Nadezhda Dvureschenskaya, Xenia Barbasheva, Maria Belousova
This was Poetry and Precision in perfect combination. I hate to write spot-on! as it ruins the romance. One of the finest cygnet quartets around.
Nutcracker Act II Shepherds Dance (a.k.a. Flutes Pas de Trois)
Ekaterina Mosienko, Taras Tovstyuk, Anna Poistogova
Tis a rarity to see this delightful dance performed by adults but there was nothing cutesy or childish about the rendition oozing French Porcelain elegance. All three dancers were wonderful but I must single-out the near, high entrechats of Tovstyuk. [This company is blessed with many talented young men at the soloist and demi- levels.]
Sleeping Beauty Act III Bluebird Pas de Deux (F. Lopukhov version of 1920s, as revived in Perm)
Yaroslava Araptanova Florine
Robert Gabdullin Bluebird
Our Aurora & Desire from a few minutes ago are back on stage, now performing the Bluebird PDD surely a first for me! And perform beautifully they did, especially Gabdullin, who has other-worldly elevation. His solo left many of us gasping in wonder. It was interesting to note that the choreography for Florines solo bears the same rhythm and quirky accents of the Kirovs new-old production; Vikharev was said to have studied this Perm version e.g., the 1920s Lopukhov staging after Petipa as part of his own staging of the ballet in 1998/99 St. Petersburg. So it looks like the quirk is as it should be and that Nicholas Sergeyev/Ninette De Valois and all the others got it wrong in the West?
Swan Lake Act I Pas de Trois (traditional version by K. Sergeyev, after Petipa)
Dmitri Tenitsky, Nadezhda Barentseva, Maria Belousova
Tenistsky has THE most incredibly-beautiful musculature in his legs, for a man! [Sorry this is like opening a Vaganova textbook and seeing the perfect male legs for ballet!] Furthermore hes a heck of a dancer who amazed with his elevation and precision in the solo. Belousova displayed elegant pointe work in the second female solo.
Nutcracker Act II Rose Waltz (a.k.a. Waltz of the Flowers) (Vainonen version)
Corps de Ballet
Immediately followed by the Adagio from the Pas de Deux-a-six for Sugarplum Fairy, Her Prince and Four Cavaliers
Maria Menshikova Sugarplum
Rostislav Deshitsky Her Prince
The full corps danced the Rose Waltz with precision and a proper air of aristocracy. Gratefully, they did not wear the pink cotton-candy wigs that one normally sees from Russian companies when performing this dance.
The Waltz was immediately followed by the Pas de Deux Adagio for Sugarplum and her prince plus four supporting cavaliers. This is when we were treated to the Perm Ballets youngest soloist and secret weapon for future greatness: take the face of the very young Vishneva in the mid-90s, add the pout & airs of the young Ananiashvili, combined with the legs and technique of Nadezhda Pavlova and you get Maria Menshikova. I have no doubt that we will be reading about her in bigger stages years from now; for the time being, Perm had better hold on to her tightly. I am only sorry that the dance stopped with the adagio and we could not see a full solo from her. And she almost made me forget the clutzy partnering of the four cavaliers, one of whom dropped her while attempting to toss her to another guy, although she was able to halt the fall with splayed legs before her behind hit the stage and kept that Ananiashvili Pout totally composed, as if nothing had happened.
* intermission *
PART II Act III (Ballroom Scene) of Swan Lake, as staged by Natalia Makarova
Most of us know the highlights of this Makarova staging through the 1980s video/DVD of the English National Ballet production with Hart/Schaufuss, so I wont describe it, except to say that one of the more quirky bits the extended Fiancées Entrance with lots of dancing by each princess is here. Ah but this time Makarova has added the Czardas and Mazurkas, which she purposely omitted in England because of her belief that Western-trained dancers cannot do justice to the Mazurka. The Perms character dancers absolutely DO justice to these amazing dances. But the great highlight of this scene was the brilliant Odile of the second senior prima of the troupe, Natalia Moiseyeva who surely could not have graduated 20 years ago, as her bio states her technique is sharp as a diamond, including 32 perfectly centered fouettes that brought the audience that filled the 2,000-plus-seat theater to its feet and cheering for more.
This performance was absolutely worth traveling to East Lansing on a (gasp) St. Patricks Weekend, when I was also treated to MSU students having a wild old time at all hours of the day. I had no problem whatsoever finding a place to eat after the ballet!
p.s. I also attended an interesting pre-performance lecture on the Perm troupe by local dance expert Kate ONeil, who obviously adores the pure-classical style of ballet as exemplified in the Perm troupe. Her insights into the three Tchaikovsky masterworks and the Perm Style added a lot to the pleasure of this perfect evening of ballet.
Posted 26 March 2008 - 08:15 AM
Many of us will have seen the Perm State Ballet in the 1992 videos of Swan Lake and Don Q, with Ananiashvili and Fadeyechev. Allowing for the differences in principals, and the camera work which focused on them almost exclusively, how does the current company compare with what we can still see from 15 years ago?
Posted 26 March 2008 - 09:31 AM
Also, the current AD, Natalia Akhmarova (ex-principal of both the Perm and Boston Ballets), is doing a terrific job in taking the troupe back to its pure-classical roots, not to forget that the 'feeder academy' is still one of the best in the world.
Posted 26 March 2008 - 10:03 AM
Natalia Makarova's staging of "Swan Lake" for the Tchaikovsky Ballet and Orchestra is at times a joy and at others a puzzle, a production that looks correct and yet feels a bit cold and lifeless.
Another disappointment comes with the swans, a contingent of 24 dancers who, much of the time, deliver precision but not much beauty. That's not to say Makarova's staging lacks soft edges or grace. But there's a plodding quality, a sense of going through the motions, elegantly, but without magic or urgency.
Perhaps the dancing shines in a mixed bill, whereas the choreography distracts in the full length ballet.
Posted 26 March 2008 - 04:09 PM
They open here inBerkeley Friday with Polina Semyonova, which brings us our first chanceto see this glamorous long-lined dancer groomed by Malakhov-- but in a wayI'll be sorry not to see the older fashioned style done purely.
Posted 27 March 2008 - 05:48 PM
Also, the current AD, Natalia Akhmedova (ex-principal of both the Perm and Boston Ballets), is doing a terrific job in taking the troupe back to its pure-classical roots, not to forget that the 'feeder academy' is still one of the best in the world.
Small note, here, that the current AD's correct name is Natalia Akhmarova. Danced with Boston Ballet from 1993-1997. Beautiful dancer, sweet and lovely person. So glad she is so successful back in her home turf.

Back in college I tried to find characterizations of compact (metric) spaces that make use of Lebesgue's Covering Lemma. During the course of this, I defined the following (pretty arbitrarily named) property of subsets of topological spaces:
If $X=(X,\mathcal{O})$ is a topological space and $Y\subseteq X$, we say that $Y$ is relatively finite (in $X$) if and only if for every neighborhood $N$ of the boundary $\partial Y$ the set $Y\setminus N$ is finite.
My professor found it quite interesting, but couldn't recall seeing something similar before.
My assumption is that this property is either not very meaningful, or that it has previously been used elsewhere under a different name. Can anyone enlighten me?
Edit: Some context, in case it helps: As I said I was looking for a converse of the Covering Lemma – i.e. what properties do I have to require of the metric space $X$ in addition to $X$ fulfilling the Lebesgue condition (every open cover has a Lebesgue number $\delta>0$ such that every $\delta$-ball is contained in some cover element) in order for $X$ to be compact?
A property I found was the "relative finiteness" of the set $X^\star$ of the isolated points of $X$. Since I did this out of mere curiosity and never actually used it for anything, the only additional properties of "relatively finite" sets I can give you are these small ones that I needed for the proof:
- If, in addition to the above definition, $Y$ is open, then every sequence of points from $Y$ has a cluster point in $X$.
- If, in addition to the above definition, $X$ is first-countable, then the interior of $Y$ is at most countable.

I have an underground village all planned out on graph paper, and am ready to start building it. I have decided to have three block thick walls, with the middle being obsidian. Overall, I need a space 53 blocks long, 53 blocks wide, and 31 blocks high. What would be the most efficient way to do this?
A bit faster and more coordinated than TNT, but requiring a mod, is WorldEdit, which allows you to select regions and remove or replace blocks (all or only a certain kind, which is quite handy). I also recommend WorldEditCUI then.
I'm not sure I understood your wall design, but to clear the area, let's say you stand on top of your future site and enter these commands (omit the
Now the hole should be below the block you're standing on and be embedded in a stone-obsidian-glowstone stack. To quickly get through it, equip a pickaxe and enter
Another alternative to WorldEdit is Zombe's modpack. The 'build' mod can be configured to work much like WorldEdit but without the console commands.
Once configured (your hotkeys will vary), you can select the corners of the box you wish to hollow out, then remove all the blocks first by changing them all to a single box then removing all of that one block.
Step One: Make selection by pressing X, moving to the other corner, and pressing Xagain.
Step Two: Fill the selection with your selected item (in this case dirt) by pressing Z.
Step Three: Remove all of your selected item (again dirt) in the selection with LSHIFT+Z.
If you're looking to make outer walls, redefine your selection to be smaller after filling the area with stone or Obsidian.
I would suggest using a mod such as TooManyItems or InvEdit if you want a piece of land cleared very quickly, but that is no good if you're playing legit. If your playing properly I would suggest a diamond sword and a creeper rampage.
you could always find an underground cavern and build into the walls.
if you want to do it legit sort of in creative the fastest way is to use potion of swiftness and just grind it out.. it takes longer to clean up after tnt than to just delete the blocks outright. I play on xbox so that is pretty much how I have to do it anyway

Expand/Collapse list item on itemtap?
I have a List which is connected to a store.
Is it possible to add functionallity that expands/collapses the list item when the user taps on the listitem?
The list item should expand vertically and additional information should be displayed in the space below the list item.
When the user does not collapse the list item and continues scrolling the list, the area below the list item shall scroll the same way (as it shall be part of the list).
Or should I build a "list" by a collection of divs instead?

Some people have stubborn areas of fat cells that will not shrink no matter how much they diet or exercise. The common areas for these fat pockets include the chin, neck, hips, abdomen, thighs, buttocks, calves, and ankles.
A technique called ultrasonic-assisted lipoplasty (UAL) may help you address that unwanted fat. UAL is an enhancement to liposuction. To keep your new shape and new weight after lipoplasty, you will need to follow a proper diet and exercise plan.
Every person's outcome will vary based on factors such as how much fat is removed and the area that's treated. Before you decide whether to get this procedure, you should talk with your doctor about your goals, the results you can expect, and how to maintain your new body shape.
How Lipoplasty Differs From Other Liposuction Techniques
Lipoplasty uses high-frequency sound waves to liquefy fat beneath the skin's surface before removing it with gentle suction. Traditional liposuction cannot liquefy fat cells, making the fat more difficult to remove.
The UAL Consultation
The first step in lipoplasty is to schedule a consultation. Choose a board-certified cosmetic surgeon experienced in lipoplasty who has undergone specialized training required by the Ultrasound-Assisted Lipoplasty Task Force. Several major plastic surgery societies set up this task force to set safety standards for UAL. Do not hesitate to ask your doctor about credentials and training and how many lipoplasty procedures he or she has done.
At the consultation, the doctor will do a thorough evaluation to see if you are a good candidate.
In general, a good candidate is a person of average or only slightly above average weight, in good health, and with a specific area of fat that has not responded well to diet and exercise.
Benefits of Lipoplasty
UAL allows doctors to remove significant amounts of fat in a single session. It can be especially useful in areas of dense fat such as the back. The use of sound waves prevents surrounding blood vessels and connective tissue from being damaged because fat cells are selectively destroyed and removed.

The youngster revealed how an alternative form of pre-match preparation aided the Bundesliga side in IstanbulJulian Draxler says Schalke's use of a laptop to simulate the atmosphere of the Turk Telekom arena helped them to a 1-1 draw with Galatasaray in the first leg of their Champions League last 16 clash.
Burak Yilmaz opened the scoring for the home side on 12 minutes, but Jermaine Jones' equaliser meant that honours ended even.
And with Istanbul proving a traditionally intimidating European destination, Draxler revealed the Bundesliga side's unique preparations prior to the game.
Speaking to ZDF, Draxler claimed: "We listened to the atmosphere of this stadium with a laptop, which prepared us very well. But of course, we are professionals and have to go through things like that.
"Matches are a lot of fun if 60,000 fans hiss against you, but I think we focused on the important part, delivered a good performance and built ourselves a solid foundation for the second leg."
Jones, whose strike on 45 minutes gave Schalke a valuable away goal, then gave his thoughts on the game and admitted he was content with his side's showing on the night.
"We're absolutely satisfied. We made a few mistakes, for example the goal we conceded was an invitation, but overall, we played a very good game and rightfully grabbed a point," he added.
"I think we've earned us a good amount of respect in the first half. They knew they were not able to open up the game, because it would have enabled us to finish our counters."
Schalke remain one of only three unbeaten sides in this season's Champions League and they welcome Galatasaray at the Veltins Arena for the return leg on Tuesday March 12.

I have been experimenting with a simple XOR-based text obfuscation algorithm. Supposedly, when the algorithm is run twice in a series, I should get back the original input - yet in my implementation that only happens sometimes. Here's my code, with some random text to demonstrate the problem:
#include <stdio.h>
void obfuscate(char *text) {
char i = 0, p = 0;
while (text[i] != 0) {
text[i] = (text[i] ^ (char)0x41 ^ p) + 0xfe;
p = i++;
int main(int argc, char **argv) {
char text[] = "Letpy,Mprm` Nssl'w$:0==!";
printf("%s\n", text);
printf("%s\n", text);
printf("%s\n", text);
return 0;
How can I fix this algorithm so that it is indeed its own inverse? Any suggestions to improve the level of obfuscation?

ANDERSON, S.C. – After a 19-day layoff, Anderson University men's tennis returns to action and to its South Atlantic Conference schedule on Thursday with a meeting with Brevard. First serve from Max Grubbs Memorial Courts is scheduled for 2 p.m.
The Trojans
AU is currently on a two-match winning streak after claiming wins over conference opponents Tusculum (5-4) and Mars Hill (8-1). With the two straight wins, the Trojans hold a 3-1 record in league play, joining three other teams with just one SAC loss on the year. Overall, Anderson is 3-4 on the year, falling to two Peach Belt Conference schools and Division I power, Clemson.
Breaking through with their first collegiate singles wins on the year were freshmen Juan Carracedo and Mateo Rivas, both posting triumphs against Mars Hill. After the duo posted a 9-8 (7-5) victory at No. 1 doubles, Rivas turned around and notched a 6-3, 6-4 win over MHU's Alberto Ortiz at the No. 3 position. At No. 1 singles, Carracedo claimed a 3-6, 6-3, 10-8 win over Euquerio Guerreo, who entered the weekend with just one loss and a win over a Division I player.
Carracedo and Rivas led the way to a 6-0 singles round for AU, as sophomores Tomas Passalacqua (No. 2), Paul Michael Calhoun (No. 4) and Inaki Iriberry (No. 5) joined Danilo Faria (No. 6) with straight-set wins to propel AU to the 8-1 win.
The Tornados
Prior to the start of the 2014 season, Brevard was picked 11th in the annual Preseason Coaches' Poll, released on Jan. 30. With the low ranking, the Tornados were just one of three teams in the league who failed to have a player listed on the preseason all-conference teams. Last season, BC finished the year 2-17 and went winless in league matches.
This season, the Tornados have struggled throughout the year, entering Thursday's match with a 1-8 record and a 0-1 mark in SAC action. BC's lone win of the season came during its spring break when it participated in three matches in Hilton Head, S.C., as the Tornados knocked off Misericordia University, 9-0, on March 5. Since the win, Brevard has dropped three-straight matches, including a narrow 5-4 setback to conference foe, Newberry.
Against the Wolves, Brevard dropped all three doubles contests, but fought back in the singles round as sophomore David Taggart posted a three-set win at the No. 1 position. BC's No. 3 player, Nathan Sabate, notched a 6-4, 6-1 victory, while the bottom of the lineup in Guilherme Prophirio (No. 5) and George Finch (No. 6) each nabbed straight-set wins.
The Series
Since joining the SAC before the start of the 2011 season, Anderson is a perfect 3-0 against Brevard in the regular season and 1-0 in SAC Tournament action. In the last two seasons, AU has posted identical 6-3 wins after a hard-fought 5-4 win over the Tornados in the final SAC match of the 2011 season. After the narrow win in 2011, the Trojans eliminated BC from the postseason with a 5-2 victory in the opening round of the conference tournament.
