Alfred Hair a.k.a "Freddie" of Fort Pierce, Florida was a black artist and student of a well-known white art teacher named A.E. Backus. Hair was born pre-civil rights and used painting as a release from the segregated south. His style of painting bright scenes of Florida, with no two paintings just alike, came to be known as the "Highwaymen" style of painting. It is a highly emotional, no lines or 'rules of art' on the canvas. The style was the pure essence of Hair's ability to capture the natural scene. During the 1950's there were no print machines to mass-produce copies of one print, so each one of Hair's pieces were unique.
As a Highwayman, Hair sold his paintings out of cars, on the side of highways and door-to-door, sometimes before they were completely dry. Hair painted anywhere from 8 to 20 paintings in one day. He soon began earning anywhere from $250 to $500 per day in the 1960's. With so many clients, he had to hire salesman for the demand, and some of the salesman became Highwaymen artists themselves.
Hair's paintings not only became a way for him to make a name for himself as an artist, but it was a thriving business that he constantly worked to improve. He found that by using less expensive materials like Upson board, similar to drywall, he could keep overhead costs down and profits rising. Instead of uniquely cut frames, Hair used crown molding.
Tragically, Alfred Hair's life ended suddenly in 1970. While visiting a drive-in with a friend, Hair was shot and killed by a bullet intended for another individual. He was only 29 years old.
The legacy of the Highwaymen stood strong with 26 additional artists who are now, along with Hair, documented in the Florida Artists Hall of Fame.

"There is another class of coloured people who make a business of keeping the troubles, the wrongs, and the hardships of the Negro race before the public. Having learned that they are able to make a living out of their troubles, they have grown into the settled habit of advertising their wrongs — partly because they want sympathy and partly because it pays. Some of these people do not want the Negro to lose his grievances, because they do not want to lose their jobs."
— Booker T. Washington, 1911

I need to know more about the pros and cons of using different size tires in front and back. My bike has a lower curb weight, so every time its back tire skids.

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.
Tire size is specified by the manufacturer. They specify the size based on their frame geometry and other characteristics of the bike. If you have a problem with the rear wheel skidding you have to address the cause of the brake malfunction. It may be as simple as over application of the rear brake and under application of the front brake. You may have a brake that is grabbing due to contamination of the linings or a mechanical issue such as broken brake mounting hardware. You may also have misadjusted or worn front suspention forks. If the front end is diving excessively during braking the weight on the rear wheel shifts to the front making the rear wheel more likely to lock up and skid.

I understand that this question relates more to wikipedia than it does writing but... If I was going to use wikipedia for a source for a research project (for example) would the information be correct? I know that anyone can go on there and edit it, but the Internet has other invalid information that isn't on wikipedia. I'm thinking that over time as an article matures on wikipedia, it would have gone through a large amount of edits and be correct, but I could be wrong. The reason I want to use wikipedia is because all of the information is consolidated in one place with references.
I do believe that I should use google to search my information (which I do) and might come off as "lazy". This question may be closed because it is off-topic as well.

Forcible rape, as defined in the FBI's Uniform Crime Reporting (UCR) Program, is the carnal knowledge of a female forcibly and against her will. Attempts or assaults to commit rape by force or threat of force are also included; however, statutory rape (without force) and other sex offenses are excluded.
Expanded offense data are the details of the various offenses that the UCR Program collects beyond the count of how many crimes law enforcement agencies report. These details may include the type of weapon used in a crime, type or value of items stolen, and so forth. In addition, expanded data include trends (for example, 2-year comparisons) and rates per 100,000 inhabitants.
Expanded information regarding forcible rape is available in the following tables:
Trends (2-year): Tables 12, 13, 14, and 15
Rates (per 100,000 inhabitants): Tables 16, 17, 18, and 19

Reviewed By: A customer from Longmont, CO USA on 6/23/10
My frame of reference for a pump is my home floor pump. I've owned several different small pumps over the years, and never really liked any of them. A couple years back we rode the Pacific Coast Route, and a fellow rider recommended the Road Morph. In preparation for riding the TransAmerica route this summer, I remembered the recommendation, and I purchased the Topeak Road Morph to save some weight. We are 1,500 miles into the trip, and I am totally impressed. It took a little getting used to the mechanics of the pump (compared to a floor pump), but now it is very familiar. I am really impressed with how quickly such a small pump can take a tire up to 90 psi (6 bars); it's frankly pretty amazing. Efficient, light weight, compact. It fits easily into my rear pannier. I'm happy I bought this pump. I would recommend it to anyone who's looking.

I know they glue their sculptures together, and sometimes support them with an inner frame. Is that the limit to their element modifications, or are there more tricks to the awesome LEGOLAND builds on display?
LEGOLAND builders appear to be quite "rules free" in their use of parts, as long as the final model looks as though it is made of LEGO.
The glue is one obvious thing, and I think they recently also experimented with a new sort of transparent stuff to paint the finished models with so that they would be more resistant to direct sunlight. I don't think they'll paint bricks to change their colour, though.
However, In the same category of things any respectable AFOL would never do, I'm fairly confident they'll also resort to cutting elements if needed. I'm unsure if that happens often and it's probably limited to parts where the cut isn't visible from the public. Another thing is the use of generic plastic sheets for some large windows, for which no LEGO elements exist.
Then, as Kramii said, electrical and mechanical components are never LEGO. For the vehicles, they do have a generic frame (metallic, with motor, battery, and all control electronic) on top of which they build a LEGO exterior. Presumably, trains follow the same logic.
So yes, they are very lax with what they can or cannot do. I know the work area of the designer in Windsor is visible from the public, not sure it is so with other parks (I don't remember that in the two others I've seen); but if you get the chance it's nice to see them. With some luck, they'll have some time to spare to chat with you.

Let $f:Y \to X$ be a flat morphism with positive dimensional fibers. Is it always true that line bundles that are trivial along each fiber are of type $f^*L$ for $L$ a line bundle on $X$?
It is true with some extra assumptions. If $f$ is projective (EDIT: in fact proper is enough) and has connected and (EDIT) reduced fibers and $M$ is a line bundle that is trivial on every fiber, then $h^0(X_y, M)=1$ for every $y\in Y$. If $Y$ is integral, then it follows that $L:=f_*M$ is a line bundle and the natural map $f^*L\to M$ is an isomorphism.
EDIT: the argument works provided $h^0(X_y, {\mathcal O})=1$ for every $y$. So in some cases one can remove the assumption that all the fibers are reduced. For instance if $X$ is a smooth complex surface and $Y$ is a smooth curve, then by Zariski's lemma every fiber $X_y$ is either $1$-connected or $X_y=mD$, where $D$ a $1$-connected divisor and $D|_D$ is torsion of order $m$. Using the fact that $h^0({\mathcal O}_D)=1$ if $D$ is $1$-connected and applying induction, one gets $h^0(X_y, {\mathcal O})=1$ for every $y$.
Take $X=Spec(k[x^2,x^3])$, the cusp over the field $k$ , the trivial bundle $Y=X\times_k\mathbb A^1_k $ and the first projection $f=pr_X:Y\to X$ .
A ring $R$ is called semi-normal if whenever elements $a,b \in R$ satisfy $a^3=b^2$, you can conclude that there exists $r\in R$ with $a=r^2, b=r^3$ . The ring is then automatically reduced (Costa). This notion is due to Traverso and Swan.
A theorem of Swan then states that given a ring $R$, the map from $R$ to its polynomial ring $j:R\to R[T]$ induces a surjection $j^*:Pic(R)\to Pic(R[T])$ if and only if the reduced ring $R_{red}=R/Nil(R)$ is semi-normal. This proves the above claim about the cusp (and much more).
No. Let $X$ be an elliptic curve, $p\colon Y=X\times\mathbf P^1\to X$ the projection, $g\colon X\to X$ multiplication by $2$, and $f=gp$. Take a line bundle $M$ of degree $1$ on $X$. Then, $p^*M$ is trivial on the fibres of $f$. Suppose $p^*M\cong f^*L$ for some line bundle $L$ on $X$. Since $p^*$ is injective on $\mathrm{Pic}$ (see Hartshorne, Ex. III, 12.5), we have $M\cong g^*L$, but the degree of $g^*L$ is even, contradiction.

Under the companies' plan, an 800-mile pipeline would be built with the capacity to ship 3 billion to 3.5 billion cubic feet of gas to an area near a port where the gas would be turned into a liquid. The LNG would be stored in tanks and loaded onto tankers from a loading jetty with two berths.
By CASSANDRA SWEET
ExxonMobil, ConocoPhillips, BP and TransCanada said they
plan to develop a natural-gas pipeline from Alaska's North
Slope to a port where the gas would be prepared for export as
part of a project expected to cost $45 billion
to $65 billion.
The companies provided some details for the proposed Alaska
gas pipeline in a letter to Alaska Gov. Sean Parnell.
Under the companies' plan, or "concept," an 800-mile
pipeline would be built with the capacity to ship 3 billion to
3.5 billion cubic feet of gas to an area near a port where the
gas would be turned into a liquid.
The liquefied natural gas would be stored in tanks and loaded
onto tankers from a loading jetty with two berths, according to
a plan attached to the letter. In addition to those facilities, a natural-gas treatment
facility would be built on the North Slope, near Prudhoe Bay,
near where the gas would be produced.
The liquefaction plant would be built on a 400-acre to
600-acre site and be able to process 15 million to 18 million
tons of gas a year, executives with the comapnies said in the
"We remain committed to responsibly developing the State's
considerable resources and will keep you advised of our
progress," read the letter, which was signed by Randy Broiles
at ExxonMobil, Trond-Erik Johansen at ConocoPhillips, Janet
Weiss at BP and Tony Palmer at TransCanada.
If built, the gas pipeline and export facility would be one
of the largest LNG projects in the world, said Mr.
Parnell, who has strongly supported development of Alaska's gas
and a pipeline to ship the gas to overseas markets. As part of
an agreement with the state, the companies promised to provide
periodic updates on their pipeline-development plans.
"I am pleased the companies met the benchmarks," Mr. Parnell
said in a statement. "I look forward to working with them as
they advance this public-private partnership."

I do not see in this proposal any guarantees of first delivering gas to specific locations in Alaska at a REASONABLE PRICE! It looks like the parties involved plan on by-passing Alaska consumers and shipping it overseas, and then selling it back to Alaskans at an astronomical price, just like they have done with Alaskan oil!!The common consumer will again get taken to the cleaners whilealready rich executives rake in the profits!Or worse, Alaskans willtotally be left out of the supply route, and the rich will again get richer, all the while saying to the Alaskan people, "It's good for the economy." But whose economy?

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 know that many of you have been waiting for this tut, so I hope you have fun with it. I knew I was eventually going to have to make a lesson on these guys or should I say this boy band because they are so darn popular. One Direction is like the new 'New Kids on the Block'. Well, maybe not as much but they are definitely close to being a boy band like they were. Anyways, this is not only going to be a fun lesson, you will definitely find drawing chibi One Direction easy because all I did was head shots of them all. Well, that's it, enjoy yourselves and I will get some other stuff ready for submission. Peace!

Education experts agree that parental involvement in schools goes a long way toward increasing student achievement.
With that goal in mind, Gov. Steve Beshear has created the Governor's Commonwealth Institute for Parent Leadership, which will provide training for parents who want to get more involved in schools.
Among other things, parents will learn how to read aggregated test scores and how school budgets work. The idea is to help them take on leadership roles in parent-teacher organizations, school councils and committees and local school boards.
The institute is based on a similar program developed by the nonprofit Prichard Committee for Academic Excellence that has trained some 1,600 Kentucky parents.
A news release from the governor's office says the first session of the new institute will be held in eastern Kentucky in the fall.

i was taught that verbs are either transitive or intransitive.
but what kind of verb is 分かる ?
WWWJDIC lists it as intransitive.
Yet the replies/comments from this thread Why is it 日本語 [[が]] わかります ("nihongo ga wakarimasu") instead of 日本語 [[を]] わかります ("nihongo o wakarimasu")? argues that を can be used with 分かる.
so is 分かる both a transitive verb and an intransitive verb at the same time?

Making TBar buttons more button like
Is there an easy way to style the buttons in the title bar of a grid or panel to look more like buttons. What I want is from them to look like the buttons at the bottom of a page. The problem is that when a button is in a tbar it looks just like text and not a button.

For Immediate Release
On April 5th-7th 2013, the first annual Rocket City Jazz Festival was held in Huntsville, Alabama. It featured Tom "Bones" Malone, several local jazz musicians and groups that came together to celebrate jazz music and support jazz education. This event was made possible with the help of Conn-Selmer sales representative Derek Bowen.
Opening night began with a master class by Tom "Bones" Malone covering the art and techniques of improvisation on any instrument and how everyone can improvise. The master class concluded by bringing to the stage local high school students to put their confidence and tonality to the test. The night's concert featured local jazz musician Mike Agee on tenor saxophone and Tom "Bones" Malone on trombone. The night was packed full of excitement with tunes from several different composers. The Alabama Blue Brothers (Jamey and Justin Crisler) and Malone blew the audience away by improvising on trombone, baritone sax, tuba, trumpet and piccolo. Saturday, Malone taught a master class to a group of students at Meridianville Middle School, followed by an open master class with the Rocket City Jazz Orchestra.

The Slowest Generation Strikes Back
Anyone worried about apathy among the young nowadays ought to try this: Call them slow.
I did that last month in a column questioning the endurance-athletics chops of the young, and their response was neither slow nor apathetic. In a torrent of email, they called the column misguided, egomaniacal and ageist.
"This piece reeks of 'old fogyism,'" wrote Wil Weldon, a North Carolina video journalist and triathlete who, at 39, is 15 years my junior.
But my fellow old-timers applauded it, saying that the rise of a medal-for-everyone culture had dulled this country's competitive edge. At a high-school meet recently, a boy who had walked part of a race said, "'Why should I run the whole course? I can walk and still get a medal,'" wrote Brad Mason, track coach at Beloit Junior-Senior High School in Beloit, Kan.
In what amounted to a blatant boast, I pointed out in the article that I'd finished higher in the overall field at this summer's Chicago triathlon than in its 50-to-54 men's age group. Critics of the piece argued that this was an anomaly.
But many older readers had similar stories. After finishing in the middle of the 40-to-44 age group at a 5-kilometer race in Florida, Cris Musni watched a 22-year-old with a much slower time climb the podium.
I heard from many ultrafast young men who argued that I should have cited my rank against gender rather than the overall field, which includes women. OK: As a 54-year-old not-very-fast man, I finished in the top 15.4% of all men, versus the top 14.7% of men age 50-54.
Another argument is that the explosion of endurance-athletics participation—mostly involving people younger than 50—has made it easier for the aged to rank high among these larger and less-elite fields. And without question, swelling participation largely explains why the average marathon finish in the U.S. has fallen steadily for decades.
But a RunTri.com analysis of the Chicago Triathlon found that even amid a slight decline in Olympic-distance competitors, the average finish fell nearly 15 minutes from 2002 to 2013.
All that said, let's be clear: The young are faster than the old. Always have been, always will be. And the rise of young stars like Galen Rupp and Mary Cain is likely to end the relative dearth of Olympic medals among U.S. distance athletes that I pointed out.
If the young en masse aren't killing themselves to cross the finish line fast, maybe it's because "beating old geezers isn't what's driving them," wrote Matthew Newman, a 31-year-old insurance underwriter.
What most surprised me was how many young people said they had no desire to emulate the Baby Boomers, whom they described as ruthlessly competitive. By contrast, young people today feel a greater pull toward camaraderie, they said.
"Between being president of my honor society, volunteering at the local elementary school, job hunting, staying on top of my course load, being secretary of my sorority and trying to start a personal financial literacy seminar for women, running has become my detox time," wrote Natasha Mighell, a University of Virginia student. "It is MY time, and is not a competitive activity."
Some young people said that baby boomers had wrecked the economy, creating so competitive a market for today's college graduates that few had time for endurance training. "Everybody I know is just struggling to get a job, much less train for a marathon," said Tyson Hartnett, a 27-year-old entrepreneur, writer and sales professional.
One email made me feel as if I were piling on. It contained a link to a devastatingly brilliant YouTube video called, "Millennials: We Suck and We're Sorry." It ought to be required viewing for everybody over 50.
My observation that the fastest-growing 5-kilometer event in the U.S., the Color Run, doesn't even time its participants prompted Travis Snyder, founder of that event, to write: "In two years, 2 million world-wide participants have toed our start line. If that isn't impressive enough, 60% of them had never done a race before."
Four years after Jerilyn McDermed, 31, toed her first start line, she has lost about 100 pounds, become a marathoner and founded a running club. "Every time that I go for a run and bust out what you may believe are mediocre miles (usually 5 miles at about 14:50 pace), I am competing," wrote McDermed, of Blue Springs, Mo.

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 searched the internet and have not found any actual test results.
Has anyone ever actually compared the weight of a heavily loaded centrifuge when it is spinning and not spinning?
there will be a infinitesimal increase in the mass given by the relativistic expression of angular velocity and inertia, but it will be completely undetectable at the velocities you can rotate a material object without it being teared apart by centrifugal stresses
The relativistic kinetic energy is roughly (forgive me if i'm missing some constant term of order unity)
$$ E = \gamma^2 I \omega^2 $$
the relativistic centrifugal force felt by the material of density $\rho$ is
$$ F = \gamma^2 \rho \omega^2 r $$
strongest materials will stand up to $10^9$ Pa, so for a centrifuge of 1 meter the breakage tangential velocity $ v = \omega r$ will be around $10^2$ meters per second, too far to observe any relativistic increase to the mass. As Forward stated in his 1962 paper, any such experiment at human engineering scales will require some external field to preserve the ring integrity
Other than what is proposed on that paper by Late Dr. Forward, any other gravitational effect for rotating systems is just speculation or pseudo-science. There was some fuzz about this from some guy called Tajmar, but no one ever reproduced his results since 2006, so they are very probably bogus
I have read through the other questions that you have posted on this site and it seems that what you are really struggling with is the nature of gravity. I applaud you for seeking out answers to your questions.
In response to some of the statements you made as an answer to this question, no, a non-rigid object does not behave differently with respect to gravity and rotational forces provided one is considering the entire object. When dealing with situations such as the saucer shedding water, it is vitally important to define questions very thoroughly. Yes, the saucer will weigh less without the water, but the combination of saucer and water (even if that water is on the floor) will have exactly the same mass throughout.
The question becomes one of defining the object in question. Physics questions about situations and objects that are changing are typically framed in terms of "control volumes" or "control masses". If you define your non-rigid object in terms of a "control mass," it will always be the same mass by definition. If you define your non-rigid object in terms of a "control volume," you may find that the mass changes, but you should be able to identify how that happened (like with the water shedding from the saucer).
Ultimately, this question, and the others you have posed about the change of mass of a spinning object, seem appealing because rotation introduces what are called "fictional forces." To an observant layperson like yourself, it seems like a reasonable position that these forces could somehow be redirected to oppose the force of gravity. Unfortunately, intuition is no substitute for hard science. The physics of Aristotle seems intuitive, but when compared to careful observation, they fail.
If you have the patience, and mathematical ability, you might enjoy working through some college level physics books. I think you would particularly benefit from sections on conservation laws. Good luck!

6 Musicians Who Accidentally Crapped Out Masterpieces
#3. Louie, Louie by The Kingsmen
If you drop a handful of children into a single room with a piano, it would only be a matter of time before one of them started pounding out the three chords of Louie, Louie. The progression is so deeply rooted in our collective consciousness and so intrinsic to our idea of music that you'd swear it wasn't composed, just handed to humanity, fully formed.
"Here, just ... just do something with this. I can't get it out of my head."
In 1956, singer Richard Berry released an R&B cover of You Are My Sunshine. For the B side he recorded a song he had written after swiping the riff from a Latin swing number called El Loco Cha Cha and using a mock Caribbean accent inspired by Chuck "No Relation" Berry's song Havana Moon.
Former R.E.M. drummer Bill, though often confused as kin, is also not related.
This song, a sea chanty, has a lonely sailor telling a barman named Louie about how much he misses his girl back home in Jamaica. The record-buying public responded to the release of yet another, version of You Are My Sunshine with a collective "meh" but after an enterprising DJ started playing the flip side, the record became a modest hit.
Berry, deciding the song had run its course, sold off his share of the rights for a whopping $750.
He then set that money on fire and declared himself the Anti-Scrooge.
In his defense, he would have been right if singer Rockin' Robin Roberts hadn't discovered a copy of the song in a Seattle shop's bargain bin. His version became a regional hit in the Northwest, but more importantly, it became the go-to song for every wannabe rock 'n' roll band in the area. In 1963, one of those wannabe rock groups was The Kingsmen. They weren't particularly fond of the song themselves, but the public seemed to like it, so they scraped together $36 for a one-hour recording session.
This session was, by anyone's standards, a disaster. For starters, singer Jack Ely had sung himself hoarse doing a concert the night before. Another problem was that, in those pre-lyrics-online days, he had taught himself the song by playing it a couple of times on a jukebox and hadn't really caught all of the words. More crucially, when he taught the song to the band, he got the beat wrong, changing the original's 1-2-3-4, 1-2, 1-2-3-4, 1-2 to a punchier 1-2-3, 1-2, 1-2-3, 1-2. Thereby accidentally creating one of the greatest riffs in rock history.
The biggest problem, however, was that the band didn't realize that their first stab at the song in the studio wasn't a practice run; it was the only take they were going to get.
The result was a glorious mess. Listen at just before the two-minute mark where the singer starts to come back in from the solo a beat too soon and the rest of the band scrambles to cover it.
The song was released and sold indifferently until rumors started flying that Ely's incomprehensible shrieking was a deliberate ploy to obscure the lyrics. The reason? The lyrics must be filthy. Soon there were hundreds of versions scribbled on pieces of paper of what everyone though they heard.
"We understand, Louie. From our wrath, the world shall all be born anew."
For the record, these are the real lyrics.
And here's one version of what people were hearing:
At night at ten I lay her again
Fuck you girl, oh, all the way
Oh, my bed and I lay her there
I meet a rose in her hair.
So what was a concerned parent to do? If you said, "Contact the goddamn FBI," then you're goddamn right.
Apparently 1963 was a slow year for kidnappings, and bank robberies, because the FBI actually decided it was a worthwhile use of resources to launch a full investigation into whether a record had some dirty words on it.
In the spring of 1992, the FBI permanently disbanded. No word as to why.
A bewildered Richard Berry was hauled in for questioning by agents who repeatedly demanded he tell them the "real" lyrics. The offending record, meanwhile, was played at every conceivable speed and direction in the bureau laboratories as technicians tried to decode any of it. The result of this scandal was predictable: Every kid in the country was trying to get his/her hands on the legendary dirty record. Sales soared until eventually, it peaked at No. 2 on the Billboard charts, its rise to the top curbed only by The Singing Nun's Dominique.
We wish we could say we were joking about that. We were not.
As for the FBI, they came to the conclusion that the record was incomprehensible at any speed and therefore, they had no reason to prosecute. By then, of course, Louie, Louie was firmly embedded in the national consciousness and went on to be one of the most covered songs of all time. Also worth mentioning: The FBI had been so focused on trying to decipher the lyrics that they failed to notice that, at about 55 seconds in, the drummer shouts a muddy "Fuck!" in the background.
By way of a happy ending, nearly 20 years later an artists' rights group helped Richard Berry recover his rights to the song eventually, netting him around $2 million.
OK, one more, but if you drop this one, that's it.
#2. Theme from M*A*S*H (Suicide Is Painless) by The M*A*S*H Singers
Set in the Korean War, the television series M*A*S*H famously ran for four times as long as the actual conflict. Its 1983 finale still remains the highest-ever rating for a television program that doesn't involve people falling on footballs.
And Jamie Farr did the whole damn thing in women's clothing. Not even the women of the show did that.
Few people remember though, that before the series, M*A*S*H was actually a highly successful film (of course, in this post-literate age, even fewer people realize that it was also a novel). The 1970 film is a dark comedy satirizing the then-current war in Vietnam.
One crucial incident in the film occurs when the camp's dentist kills himself (did we mention that this film is a comedy?). For the scene depicting his actual attempt, director Robert Altman wanted a song to help jolly things along. According to his director's commentary, Altman intended to write the lyrics himself but was having difficulty capturing the required tone before deciding there was no one more qualified to write a song about suicide than a teenage boy. And for the second time, angsty teen poetry directly affected the shape of modern music.
Wait, between that and Jamie Farr, we can finally explain Marilyn Manson!
Altman's 14-year-old son, Mike, was set the task and he duly delivered a little ditty titled Suicide Is Painless, the lyrics of which read exactly as you would expect a poem by a 14 year old boy to read. The scene, shot as a parody of da Vinci's "The Last Supper," was a great success but, more than that, Altman was so pleased with the song he had it given the full orchestral treatment and made it into the theme for the movie.
Mike Altman had only wanted a new guitar in payment for his work but the producer insisted on giving him his full authorship rights. The use of a jazz version of the song for the television series theme ensured that he received royalties for years to come and to date he has earned an estimated $2 million from the song.
For comparison's sake, if you stacked $2 million worth of hundred dollar bills, it would look roughly like that.
Robert Altman, on the other hand, had been offered a percentage of the films profits but had turned that down after an argument with the producers. In the end, he received a flat directing fee of $75,000 for his efforts which must have led to some interesting dinner table conversations in the Altman household.
#1. Tutti Frutti by Little Richard
Little Richard, alongside Elvis and Bill Haley forms the foundation of rock 'n' roll. As Little Richard says himself, "A lot of people call me the architect of rock 'n' roll. I don't call myself that, but I believe it's true." (Also, just for the record, he does occasionally call himself that).
His breakthrough single Tutti Frutti was named by MOJO Magazine as the most influential rock 'n' roll song of all time beating out the likes of Bob Dylan, the Beatles and Elvis. In the buttoned down and repressed early 50s, Tutti Frutti's opening scream of 'A wop lop a do wop alop bam boom" must have sounded, at worst, like the opening battle cry in a cultural war between adults and teens, and at its best like a "a torrent of filth wailed by a bisexual alien."
You aren't American, Little Richard ... You are America.
Of course, as you've probably already guessed, this nearly didn't happen. By 1955, Richard had been shuffling around the music scene for half a decade without any notable success. Now on a new and bigger label, he had been hoping for greater things but so far his first recording session wasn't going well. With his new producers trying to mold him in a style somewhere between Ray Charles and Fats Domino, his songs were coming out dull and uninspired.
And "dull and uninspired" are two things Little Richard absolutely refuses to be.
During their lunch break, a frustrated and pissed off Richard wandered over to a piano and started hammering out Tutti Frutti, a song he had been performing regularly in clubs. His producer heard it and immediately realized that this was exactly the kind of thing they should be recording.
There was just one tiny hitch.
If you're not already, you might want to make sure you're sitting down for this next part.
The venues in which Little Richard had been playing and perfecting the song were gay clubs, and the original lyrics demonstrated that:
A wop bop a loo mop, a good goddamn!
Tutti frutti, loose booty
If it don't fit, don't force it
You can grease it, make it easy.
Now this was 1955. Down South, they were still lynching black men for looking too hard at white women. What they would do to an at best sexually ambiguous black man singing about the joys of anal sex doesn't bear thinking about. A lyricist was quickly summoned to rework the words, and by the end of the afternoon it was done.
The song made it as high as No. 17 in the Billboard charts. An unheard of feat for a black musician back then, but this was sadly trumped by Pat Boones anemic cover which made it all the way to 12. Little Richard was convinced that white kids were buying Pat Boone so they could show the Boone record cover to their parents while they were actually listening to Richard's version. He would gleefully attempt to make all his follow up songs too high pitched and too fast for Boone to be able to cover.
John has no Web presence of his own but his flatmates do have this delightful Web comic.

Alter form data using the beforesubmit event
According to the documentation of the event beforesubmit in Ext.form.Panel , I should be able to modify the values submitted, but I can't figure out how.
Implementations may adjust submitted form values or options prior to execution.
Any help is highly appreciated.
Note: I'm basically trying to send a JSON string, so I need to encode the values using JSON.stringify.---

I'm running into the same issue. The server expects a timestamp, but the form is sending something like:
Tue Jan 01 1980 00:00:00 GMT+0100 (CET)
I'm trying:
PHP Code:
onBeforeSubmit: function (form, values, opts, evt, eOpts) {
var timestamp = Ext.Date.format(values.dateOfBirth, 'U');
values.dateOfBirth = window.parseInt(timestamp, 10);
Is there a workaround/override?

I did some more digging and found the following.
Ext.form.Panel#submit does:
PHP Code:
return me.fireAction('beforesubmit', [me, formValues, options, e], 'doBeforeSubmit');
If you look at Ext.mixin.Observable#fireAction, it says:
Fires the specified event with the passed parameters and execute a function (action) at the end if there are no listeners that return false.
But if i step through the code using dev-tools, Ext.form.Panel#doBeforeSubmit (where the actual request is being done) is executed before my own event handler. This makes it quote obvious that the values cannot be altered before the request as documented by the Ext.form.Panel#beforesubmit event.
10 May 2014 10:16 AM #8
Did some more digging and found a workaround.
As stated above, Ext.form.Panel#doBeforeSubmit is executed before any listeners attached to the Ext.form.Panel#beforesubmit event. This is because the Ext.mixin.Observable#fireAction takes 2 more (undocumented) parameters, 'options' and 'order'. The last one indicates if the so called action, (Ext.form.Panel#doBeforeSubmit in this case) is executed before or after the registered listeners. The default seems to be before. To get around this i've overridden Ext.form.Panel#submit as follows:
PHP Code:
Ext.define('My.form.Panel', {
override: 'Ext.form.Panel',
submit: function(options, e) {
var me = this,
formValues = me.getValues(me.getStandardSubmit() || !options.submitDisabled),
form = me.element.dom || {};
if(this.getEnableSubmissionForm()) {
form = this.createSubmissionForm(form, formValues);
options = Ext.apply({
url : me.getUrl() || form.action,
submit: false,
form: form,
method : me.getMethod() || form.method || 'post',
autoAbort : false,
params : null,
waitMsg : null,
headers : null,
success : null,
failure : null
}, options || {});
// make sure 'doBeforeSubmit' is executed after any registered listeners
return me.fireAction('beforesubmit', [me, formValues, options, e], 'doBeforeSubmit', me, {}, 'after');
The 'values' parameter passed to the Ext.form.Panel#beforesubmit listener essentially gets tossed in Ext.form.Panel#doBeforeSubmit, so changing that in the listener is of no use. I figured i could instead set the value on the 'options.params' property, but unfortunately when the final querystring for the request is being assembled in Ext.data.Connection#setupParams, the serialized form (which still contains the old, non overridden value) is put after the params you just set, resulting in something like:
and since the last one takes precedence, the old value is still the one you receive on the server end.
To work around this problem you can just set the value of the form in the event listener like so:
PHP Code:
onBeforeSubmit: function (form, values, options, e, eOpts) {
// this has no effect
values.valueToOverride = 'newValue';
// neither has this
options.params = {
valueToOverride: 'newValue'
// this does the trick
Ext.fly(options.form).down('input[name=valueToOverride]', true).value = 'newValue';

I'm under the impression that religious Judaism believes in absolute truths. That being the case, how does the concept of "eilu v'eilu divrei elokim chaim" (Eruvin 13b) work out? When two scholars argue, how can they both be right?

A simple parable for this idea is the idea of projection. If one looks at a cylinder, for example, it could be a square or a circle. In reality it is both, or neither.
Torah, in principle, is higher then human understanding. Therefore, as the Torah comes into human understanding it gets "filtered" through their brain (even two prophets would not use the same wording). Therefore, if someone applies the Torah approach to a problem and gets to one resolution, the result is true.
However, practically, as it comes into the world, there can be only one truth, which is known as "Halacha". Therefore, when one asks a shaila, he is expecting "what to do", not "there are two approaches" because this world, a physical world, is limited in the sense that one cannot do two opposite things at a time. Therefore, the halacha could go like either one or the other, and halachically, the other could be rejected completely, as if it wasn't there (Beis Shamai v Beis Hillel). In the source of Halacha, in the higher worlds, however, they are both true.
There are certainly absolute truths in regard to things that are known or things that are fundamental principles - it is absolutely true that HaShem created the universe and redeemed the Israelites from Egypt, for example.
When it comes to things that are really unknowable, the best we can do is base our understanding of them on sound principles handed down to us from Sinai.
One subset of unknowable things is, ironically, Halachah. What I mean by that is that we cannot know with absolute certainty (ie., we cannot know the absolute truth about) what HaShem wants us to do in any given situation.
Certain things are easier to determine than others - we can know that lighting a camp fire on Shabbath is prohibited. That is explicitly forbidden by the Torah. What about operating an electric wheelchair? That would depend on the definition of certain types of Melachah and the design of the wheelchair, and whether or not the neighborhood is in a public domain. Depending on the situation, and also depending on the analysis of the applicable laws, one Posek can reach a different conclusion than another.
The same is true for things that we would like to know outside the realm of laws. What happens to us when we die? What do certain esoteric verses mean when they describe the Heavenly Court? We cannot know these things for certain. Because of that we have to rely on the Sinaitic principles that we have, and different scholars can reach different conclusions based on the limited knowledge that we do have (verses, primarily, as well as earlier scholars' analyses of the same subject).
That is Eilu VeEilu in a nutshell.
There are many different interpretations of "Elu V'Elu". It is rather difficult to say that it literally means both sides of an argument can be true, since it is applied to disputes of facts. E.g. what were the events of a story, or what did so-and-so hold. They cannot both be literally true, since they were events that actually happened.
A more likely explanation is that "Elu V'elu" means both sides are legitimate interpretations. While only one of them may in fact be true, at the time of the dispute it is not possible to prove one side wrong. And one cannot ask God, since "Lo B'shamayim He" (The Torah is no longer in heaven, it has been given over to man to interpret). Since we cannot prove which side is right, a person can learn both sides without worrying that one of them is wrong.
Absolute truth exists, but in certain areas of dispute it is not possible to find it. So both sides are considered the word of God.
I think that what has to be discussed is your basic premise that Judaism believes in absolute truths. Judaism believes that Hashem is the absolute ruler and that he gave the Torah to Israel. There is also a concept of "Lo Bashamyim Hee" i.e. the Torah was given to Israel to "figure" out to the best of our ability based on rules passed down through tradition. Whatever is honestly derived based on these rules is given credence by Hashem that it is the truth, as exemplified by the incident of Rabbi Eliezer and the Rabanan. Hashem will judge man based on what is in the Shulchan Aruch. Absolute truths is basically irrelevant. Regarding Halacha the Torah instructs us to go after the majority for practical purposes. This never implies that the losing opinion was false.
In the same way the square root of 4 is 2 and negative 2. Source- R Yaakov Weinberg of Ner Yisroel
"There are 70 faces to the Torah" (Bamidbar Rabbah 13:15)
There's a difference between an explanation of a Torah verse that is wrong, and an explanation that our sages chose not to follow.
Shammai wasn't wrong. He was a scholar equally as great as Hillel. As Avi alludes to in his answer, there is a concept that when the messiah comes, we will follow Shammai's views. Actually, we do follow at least eighteen of Shammai's rulings (see mishanyos shabbos chapter 1).
In any case, the Heavenly Voice declaring that "These and these are the words of the living G-d" was simply teaching that Shammai was a genuine Torah scholar who sincerely reached a different understanding.
"Eilu v'eilu" does NOT mean that anything anyone says on a given Torah verse is valid.
Intentionally misreading Torah verses to obliterate severe negative commandments is wrong, misleading to uneducated Jews, and has no basis in Jewish practice. Using "eilu v'eilu" to justify negation of Torah law in favor of secular morality is a total fraud.
"70 faces to the Torah" means that, even today, there are varying practices that can all be classified as proper Jewish observance.
An Ashkenazi Jew can walk into a Sefardi or Yemenite or Persian synagogue, and fulfill his prayer obligations there. That same Ashkenazi Jew can enter the home of any of the above (assuming that the family is observant) and eat in their home. A European chassidic Jew from America can observe the sabbath with a Tunisian Jew from Israel (I've seen this myself), and the two will recognize each other's actions as that of a sabbath-observant Jew - even though the specific customs, mode of dress, accent in pronouncing the blessings and prayers etc, are quite different.
Judaism believes in an absolute Truth; halacha. However, there are many valid ways to fulfill halacha, and they all look, sound, feel, smell, and taste different from each other.
The short of your answer I believe is that Judaism does not believe in absolute truths.
However, it is true that many Jews do believe in absolute truths, so I'll answer the question regarding that subset of Jews.
The general explanation given for Eilu v'Eilu amongst people who believe that something either is or isn't, is that eilu v'eilu refers to eight different time periods.
Many people will try to explain 'eilu v'eilu' as refering to a difference of opinion based on which of those 8 time periods you are talking about. That is, those 8 time periods are so vastly different from eachother, that the halacha might have conflicting outcomes.
Alternatively, one might argue that even within the same time period, the circumstances of each event help determine which of the two eilus is correct at any given moment.
I would like to offer a different perspective which is my own conjecture. I think we need to examine the full phrase which is "eilu v'eilu divrei elokim chaim" - these and these are the words of the living God (emphasis added). Then you need to ask, "why would God say both of these things?" The answer is because God learns torah!
The discussion in Gittin 6b is enlightening
True, in that discussion there was a way to make both sides of the argument be "right". But, the principle is instructive. Eilu v'eilu doesn't necessarily mean you are both right or both things are true, it means that God is saying over both of these opinions this portion of study is reviewed in the heavenly study hall!
I would furthermore postulate that only certain select arguments are of such high caliber that God himself deems them worthy of repetition, otherwise every argument would be 'eilu v'eilu'.

Click here to download the Policy PDF
It is the policy of New York University (NYU, "the University") that cost sharing must be identified and tracked in accordance with federal and other sponsor requirements. Cost sharing is that portion of a project or program cost that is not reimbursed by the sponsor (whether Federal or non-Federal) and as such, represents a commitment of institutional resources that would otherwise be devoted to other University purposes. As a matter of longstanding policy, NYU discourages unnecessary and unsupported cost sharing. As described in Memoranda 01-06 – Clarification of the Office of Management and Budget (OMB) A-21 Treatment of Voluntary Uncommitted Cost Sharing and Tuition Remission Costs (http://www.whitehouse.gov/omb/memoranda_m01-06), there are three forms of cost sharing:
Cost sharing may be required by the sponsor as a condition of the award (mandatory cost sharing) or it may be offered by NYU (voluntary committed). Mandatory and voluntary committed cost sharing becomes an obligation once an award is made. Federal regulations require that Mandatory or Voluntary Committed Cost Sharing be treated consistently and uniformly in documenting, accounting and reporting. They should comply with NYU's (DS-2) Federally approved cost accounting practices and be reflected in the University's Time & Effort Certification. The expenses associated with cost sharing or matching contributions must be allowable in accordance with OMB Circular A-21, Cost Principles for Higher Education and/or University and sponsor policies.
The purpose of this policy is to provide guidance for proposing and administering cost sharing on sponsored projects, in accordance with Federal and other sponsor requirements.
This policy is applicable to all schools, departments, units and personnel of the University involved in administering sponsored awards.
Obtaining Approvals for Cost Sharing
The Office of Sponsored Programs (OSP) is responsible for determining whether proposed cost sharing complies with the requirements of the sponsor guidelines and determine whether it is mandatory or voluntary. The approval of all sources of the cost sharing contributions (e.g., Department Chair, Dean, Provost, third party collaborator) is required at the time of the proposal.
NYU Restrictions on Cost Sharing
As a general rule, the contribution of a Principal Investigator's (PI's) academic year effort as voluntary committed cost sharing is subject to the following NYU restrictions:
These are the methods of calculating cost sharing:
Documentation of Cost Sharing in the Proposal Budget and Narrative
PI's should discuss cost sharing requests with their Chairs and Deans and when applicable with the Senior Vice Provost for Research. Approval is conveyed by the NYU Cost Share Form, which must accompany the proposal to OSP. Cost sharing commitments may be included in the budget, the budget justification and the proposal. Care should be taken so that statements about unbudgeted key personnel involvement or tasks will not be inadvertently construed as voluntary cost sharing commitments. Where the proposal describes casual consultation that will enhance the likelihood of the success of the project, such consultation may be included in the narrative portion of the proposal, but not in the budget section. In these cases, no quantifiable effort should be stated in the narrative:
The PI should notify the Department Administrator (DA) of the reduction in effort. The DA should communicate the change to OSP through a Request for OSP Action form. OSP will request sponsor approval, if reduced effort is requested. Both types of changes require the approval of the Chair/ Dean. The second type of change requires Senior Vice Provost approval, as indicated above.
Federal Standards for Acceptable Cost Sharing
Under Federal awards, items committed as cost sharing must meet all of the following criteria in accordance with OMB Circular A-110 Section §__.23 (http://www.whitehouse.gov/omb/circulars_a110/#23):
Appropriate Justification for Cost Sharing
The following are illustrations of when cost sharing may be appropriate in sponsored projects:
Sources of Cost Sharing
The following non-sponsored (and in rare cases sponsored) sources would be considered appropriate sources of funds that the University may use to meet cost sharing commitments:
Costs Not Acceptable for Meeting Cost Sharing Commitments
The following costs may not be used to meet cost sharing commitments:
Creating Cost Sharing Projects
It is the responsibility of the PI and the department to document the fulfillment of cost sharing. Cost sharing is documented through the creation of a separate project in the University's accounting system which parallels the project established with sponsor funds. The following steps list the process for creating cost sharing projects:
Cost Sharing Identified During Project Lifecycle
Documenting Third Party Cost Sharing (including Sub-awards / Sub-agreements / Subcontracts)
The department is required to maintain records identifying the cash contribution (which may arrive in the form of a gift, grant or contract) or non-cash contribution and its fair market value. Documentation sent to SPA should include a letter of intent (available through OSP) or letter of actual completion, which includes documentation of the basis for determining the value of personal services, material, equipment and other direct expenses as well as written acknowledgement of the contribution, including:
Monitoring Cost Sharing Accounts
Cost sharing may occur as a one-time expense, or incrementally over the life of the project. It is the responsibility of the Principal Investigator (PI) to ensure that charges are incurred against the cost-sharing program as it occurs and in a timely manner.
Project Closeout and Financial Reporting to Sponsors
At project closeout, SPA will email the Cost Share Form to the PI and the department/school administrator for confirmation and verification of cost sharing amounts as recorded in the University's general ledger.
PI's and Departmental Administrators should work closely with SPA to ensure accurate reporting of cost sharing on financial reports to sponsors.

Cost Sharing
The portion of a project or program cost that is not reimbursed by the sponsor (whether Federal or non-Federal) and as such represents a commitment of institutional resources that would otherwise be devoted to other University purposes. Normally at NYU, cost sharing involves personnel effort; however other costs, such as equipment, may be used.
Non-cash donation of tangible or intangible goods and services provided by a third party; In-kind services that are committed as matching must be documented and may require a certification of fair market value.
Mandatory Cost Sharing
Costs borne by the institution and required by a sponsor as a condition of obtaining an award; Mandatory Cost Sharing is a binding commitment on NYU and must be documented, tracked and reported in accordance with the Cost Sharing Policy.
The requirement by some sponsors that grant funds be matched in specific proportion with funds from NYU or another party, whether received from another sponsor or committed by a collaborating organization.
Third party contributions
The value of cash or non-cash contributions directly benefiting a grant-supported project or program that is provided by non-Federal third parties.
Voluntary Committed Cost Sharing
Quantifiable contributions reflected in the proposal narrative, budget, and/or budget justification, but which are not mandated by the sponsor. Voluntary committed cost sharing becomes a binding commitment on the University when proposed and accepted in the award.
Voluntary Uncommitted Cost Sharing
Faculty-donated additional time above that agreed to as part of the award.

There is the argument that complexity means there is a designer. This is usually used by the creationist camp to promote their views. I think it is a faulty way of thinking, and the question about who designed the designer is a valid response to this.A more rational approach to the subject is that the universe has a beginning, and therefore something must have caused it. It may be a multiverse or the flying spagetti monster or the judeo Christian god, but there must be a starting point which wasn't caused. If everything has a cause, then we end up with an infinite regress. If we have an infinite past, then we could never get to where we are, because it would take forever to get here.
A designer sounds pretty complex...who designed the designer?
Great video on the watch maker principle.http://www.kids4truth.com/watchmaker/watch.html
Strange that you ask who designed the designer but you don't ask who designed the cosmos or who created life, and indeed the majority of people including scientists tell us life just "happened."
I believe God is life eternal and as scientists tell us life just happened there is your answer from science itself regarding God, He has always been, He has always existed and He did not need to be created, moreover the complexity of creation points to the need for a living creator who was there from the beginning of time and is from everlasting to everlasting as evidenced by the life around us.
Ciscokid, are you a Christian?Is Jesus Christ your Lord and Savior?In Christ,KP
Quote from: k-pappy on November 11, 2009, 12:56:11 PMCiscokid, are you a Christian?Is Jesus Christ your Lord and Savior?In Christ,KPNo Sir. I believe that I once was, or at least I intended to be. I was raised in a Christian home attending a fairly strict Baptist Church as well as going to a Christian school in the early part of my life. I firmly believed the Bible and all that was written in it until I'd say my late 20's very early 30's [I'm 37 now].
What caused you to stop believing in the Bible?
I had some thoughts as you had, until I read The Case For Christ, by Lee Stroebel.It didn't answer all my questions, but it answered enough so that I was willing to take the rest by faith. Which we have to do anyway. If it was all concrete, no faith would be required. Faith IS the whole point!
I often wonder what motivates an atheist or just somebody who dislikes Christianity to come on a Christian forum and argue about creation, God, Jesus, or whatever. Do you gain some kind of pleasure? Is it fun to you? Are you bored? It amazes me that people like Victor would spend so much time and effort disputing things like Lee Strobel. I think it's healthy for the forum to have different views but some of you like to attack people personally even though you don't even know who they are just because you get some kind of weird pleasure from it. Is there an anti-God forum somewhere that might make you happier, cause some of you sound miserable and angry all the time.Good video, maybe some could research the complexity issue more.
