[caption id="attachment_460" align="alignnone" width="720"] Jeremy Davis picked up a win at Star Speedway in the Granite State Pro Stock Series (credit: Jeremy Davis Motorsports photo)[/caption]
Lou Modestino
Jeremy Davis returned to the Granite State Pro Stock Series in fine fashion, picking up the win at the Star 100 at Star Speedway.
A strong field of 31 cars attempted to make the feature for the first of two races at Star Speedway in the 2014 season. After qualifying, 22 cars took the green for the Star 100.
Pole sitter Dillon Moltz had the car to beat early, as the Waterford, CT driver shot out of the gate at every restart, sending his RB Performance/Brackett Mechanical Chevrolet to the point each time. Contact with a car being put a lap down sent Moltz spinning in turn 2. Davis then inherited the lead, and was the cream of the crop from mid-race on. Matt Frahm�s day took a turn in the wrong direction, as he was involved in an incident on lap 40.
Davis once again held onto the point, and held Brad Babb off until Babb and Barry Gray made contact on lap 69, sending both drivers to the rear of the field, and ending George �Mad Dog� Bessette�s night, as heavy front end damage knocked Bessette out for the rest of the evening. Davis then had Dillon Moltz breathing back down his neck, as the youngster fought his way back through the field. The two would engage in battle down to the final laps, when Davis proved to be too strong, and pulled away with the victory.
�I saved our stuff,� Davis commented. �Moltz did a great job fighting his way back up through the field, and it was a tough break for him, but I still had some left in the tank at the end for him.�
For Moltz, the race was less than satisfying, even with the second place finish. �It was pretty disappointing, more so for my crew than myself,� states Moltz. �You can�t hang your head with a second place finish with a full field of cars, but it was just a heart breaker. We had the car to beat tonight. I knew it was going to come down to me and the 09, and he had a little more than me at the end, which is to be expected.�
Brad Babb followed up his second place finish at Hudson International Speedway with a third at Star Speedway. �I really thought I had a car to win tonight,� Babb said. �Early contact bent something in the front end, but that was just a racing deal; it happens. I was a little upset after getting turned around, but I�m pretty lucky to come away with a podium finish after all that.�
Buxton, ME�s Larry Gelinas would hold on to nab the fourth spot with an ill-sounding race car as the race came to a close. Youngster Derek Griffith once again fought adversity and picked up the fifth spot. Cory Robert, Mike O�Sullivan, Zig Geno, Tommy O�Sullivan, and Mike Parks completed the top 10. Moltz, Davis, and Matt Frahm were victorious in the three heat races, with Robert winning the consi.
Next up for the Granite State Pro Stock Series will be in a few weeks, as the series heads to Lee Speedway for the first time in its existence July 25th.

St. Joseph County Sheriff's deputies say speed and alcohol were factors in a crash Sunday night in the 11000 block of North River Road in Constantine Township.
Deputies said the crash happened just before 7 p.m. Sunday. Bradley Owen, 23, of Elkhart, Ind., was driving south on North River Road when his vehicle left the road, then re-entered the highway, where it crossed the center line and struck a tree on the opposite side.
Rescue personnel from Constantine and LifeCare Ambulance worked for nearly 30 minutes to extricate Owens from the vehicle. He was airlifted to Bronson Methodist Hospital, where he was in critical condition Monday afternoon, according to a hospital spokesperson.
The crash remains under investigation.
Michigan State Police assisted.
Hit-and-run driver sought
Sheriff's deputies are looking for a vehicle involved in a hit-and-run crash early Monday.
Deputies said the crash occurred around 5 a.m. near the intersection of U.S. 12 and Shimmel Road.
Authorities said a vehicle headed west on U.S. 12 was side-swiped by another vehicle, which continued westbound.
The wanted vehicle is midsize and was driven by a male, deputies said. The vehicle may show damage to the left, front bumper, with white paint transfer from the other vehicle.
Anyone with information may call Deputy Mark Mellinger at 467-9045, ext. 327.

The Clinical Practice of Chinese Medicine (9780966991611)
Publisher: Spirit Path Press
Binding: Hardcover
This work explicates how to achieve the core value system at the heart of Nourishing Destiny in clinical practice. All treatment paradigms are fully elaborated to allow immediate integration into the clinic. I cover in detail the points on the 12 main channels cross referencing every character in every main and alternate point name to Weiger's etymological text and to Mathews' Chinese-English dictionary. I also fully elaborate the Worsley five-element tradition with a fresh perspective for the twenty first century. A chapter on Clearing Blocks with Chinese Herbs contains a beautifully written piece by Thea Elijah on treating possession, exit/entry blocks, and clearing the sensory orifices with herbal medicine. A 60 page chapter discusses the in depth use of the five element points on each channel with an eye toward engendering the integral consciousness that lies at the heart of Chinese medicine. In conclusion I examine the four thousand year history of Chinese Medicine from the perspective of Spiral Dynamics, a model that yields deep insight into the evolution of consciousness. I examine where Chinese medicine has been, where it is, and where it needs to go if it is to fulfil its potential as a leading edge holistic/integral medicine. In all, the book is approximately 850 pages and, like Nourishing Destiny, is designed and built to the highest standard.

Are there any tools or online communities that deal with word association? I'm looking for a resource where I could poll for common associations for a particular word. If you do know of such a tool or community, please describe its positives and negatives.
Two resources that sound appropriate are:
Though I can't rule it out, I kind of doubt you'll find existed dedicated communities - I expect very few people are interested in regularly checking into a site for the sole purpose of answering word association requests. On writing forums, you might find some people happy to do you a favor by answering, but your requests will probably not be the scintillating discussions forums prefer...
What you could do is just collect the words you're interested in, and ask a handful of friends to give you some associations for each. Simple, friendly, and 100% human.

Sencha Cmd v3.0.1 GA is Now Available
Update 2012-12-26 - Due to a bug in theme upgrades, Cmd 3.0.1 has been replaced by Cmd 3.0.2 - http://www.sencha.com/forum/showthre...-Now-Available
We are pleased to announce that a bug fix release of Sencha Cmd (v126.96.36.1993) is available.
Other than the bug fixes below, there is an command line change to be aware of: to make room for future expansion, we have changed "sencha package" to "sencha app package". This command is not often needed because "sencha app build" is more typically called, but in case you do - use "sencha app package" now instead.
IMPORTANT - You will need to run "sencha app upgrade /path/to/sdk" from your app root to upgrade the Cmd metadata in the .sencha folder. Or accomplish through manual means. If you are not using a Cmd-generated app, then this does not apply. Many fixes are in the content of the ".sencha" folder of your generated app.
Bugs Fixed
Generator (3)
- SDKTOOLS-226 - The buildPaths property is obsolete and should be removed from app.json.tpl
- SDKTOOLS-251 - Sencha generate form extends Ext.form.Fieldset instead of Ext.form.Panel
- SDKTOOLS-273 - Generated config.rb extensions can have naming conflicts
- SDKTOOLS-222 - App cache checksum fails for images
- SDKTOOLS-252 - Testing build have included sencha-touch.js file what would make a duplicate while running the app
- SDKTOOLS-259 - when upgrading touch app from 2.0.x -> 2.1.x, sdk location isn't updated
- SDKTOOLS-262 - Native build option in app-build still references 'buildPaths' app.json property
- SDKTOOLS-277 - Move 'sencha package' to 'sencha app package'

- SDKTOOLS-257 - Theme build does not merge images properly and is inconsistently documented

Patriot Axle 32GB USB 2.0 Flash Drive (Red) Model PSF32GAUSB After $10MIR for $8.99 + free shipping
12 Comments add a comment
I don't know why the link doesn't work :(
Good deal! Wish it was USB 3.0 though.
@kerrykool: Thanks for the link
@bobgt89: Did you copy it from an e-mail link by chance?
Sometimes Newegg links get wonky.
@drchops: no, I copied it right from the address bar...
Hate their rebate process but it's a very good deal.
Read speed reports suggest it's close to USB 2.0 max (32MB/s or so) but write speed is a plodding 10MB/s or less. This is pretty average for inexpensive USB thumb drives, and after the rebate this is a good deal, but if you frequently transfer large files onto your thumb drives you should be looking at the faster USB 2.0 and 3.0 drives that get 30MB/s write speed and faster.
Top of the line USB 3.0 flash drives, such as the Lexar JumpDrive Triton series, will max out USB 2.0, and are 10-15 times faster than this drive. Makes a big difference, but they also cost 5 times as much.
We've come a long way from zip disks though...
@stienman: "Zip disks" ... It baffles the mind to thing back to a time when ANY storage medium measured it's capacity in MB's...
Great price for 32gigs. beats frys rebate deal.
Says out of stock, guess I missed it.
Sold Out...
These are great little drives as long as you're not moving a lot of data on and off on a frequent basis. At least in the past the rebate comes as an Amex card in a reasonable time frame.

5 Hilariously Perverse Trends You Missed in Famous Artwork
Have you ever browsed crudely drawn deviantART pictures of Sonic the Hedgehog fellating Abraham Lincoln and thought, "Wow, what happened to art? You know, like the classy religious stuff they had back in the Middle Ages and the Renaissance?" Well, we're about to either make you feel better about the current state of art or convince you that it's always been full of perverse nightmare fuel. If you browse through artwork from centuries ago, you will see that ...
#5. The Virgin Mary Is Often Squirting Breast Milk at People
Thaagoon Angkurawattananukul/iStock/Getty Images
That's right. This is not a Photoshop:
Josefa de Obidos
Sometimes Jesus would turn it into grape juice just to mess with people.
You would think that there wouldn't be enough bandwidth on the Internet to sufficiently explain that image in a way that lets it make sense, but we'll try. Keep in mind, religious artwork doesn't necessarily have to be influenced directly by the Bible. Sometimes it can be based on legends and folklore while still remaining true to the fundamentals of church art, like being as uncomfortably wacky as possible. Case in point: the legend of St. Bernard of Clairvaux.
The patron saint of Rule 34.
There are two versions of the St. Bernard legend, both of which concern Bernard receiving a vision where he gets to sample breast milk from the Virgin Mary, whose impressive aim has been seriously downplayed in the Scripture. One version of the legend claims that the Virgin Mary let Bernard sample her milk to show him that she's humanity's mother and can totally put in a good word with Jesus, so we should probably pray to her, too. In the other version, the milk was meant to impart the heavenly wisdom of God, but this version also plays heavily on the motif of motherhood.
The original MILF (mother imparting liquid faith).
It's not exactly that complicated of a theme. Mary is supposed to be the mother of God, and mothers breast-feed, so anything to do with breast milk will instantly have "motherhood" written all over it. As for why she had to be cartoonishly squirting the milk at Bernard from 5 feet away, well ... for one, it allowed both parties to maintain a respectful distance from one another, because these are two adult virgins we're talking about. There is church protocol to be followed! Good taste and morality have to be considered, and ...
Never mind.
"The Vision of St. Bernard" remained a popular theme throughout Europe until the Council of Trent brought the fun and games to an end after someone realized that artists were basically painting one guy's wet-but-not-in-that-sense dream.
Just like that time your mom opened your computer folder marked "Biology Homework."
#4. There Are Lots of Paintings Featuring People Grabbing Baby Jesus' Dick
Robert Young/iStock/Getty Images
We're going to go out on a limb and say that no human has appeared in more paintings than Jesus. But if you're browsing an art gallery, you'll start to notice something very, very strange -- people gathering around the baby Jesus and grabbing his penis:
Paolo Veronese
"Bad touch! Bad touch!"
Wow, OK. Not to be insensitive or anything, but this picture kinda looks like Exhibit A from a CPS custody trial. But of course that's just us being our typical immature selves. That's his mother, right? She's allowed to do that. But this is a whole genre of painting, and there's more to it. Notice the strangers in the picture, staring at his junk? Yeah, we cropped the picture -- here's the full crowd:
Paolo Veronese
"Hey, paint a picture, it'll last longer."
Here's another one -- the guy on the left is literally pointing at the baby wiener and glancing at the viewer, as if to say, "Check it, bro."
Giuseppe Cesari
Giving birth to a tradition that continues in Catholic churches to this very day.
Here's yet another, this time with even more strangers lining up for miles to stare at a child's exposed genitalia, as if to get its autograph:
Hans Baldung
"Well worth the price of admission."
Stop, stop, hold on. Are we totally sure that we aren't all going to jail for looking at these pictures? Thankfully not, because according to art scholar Leo Steinberg, author of The Sexuality of Christ in Renaissance Art and in Modern Oblivion, Christ's "tree of forbidden knowledge" was a pretty common motif in Renaissance art, which most experts chalked up to the resurgence of secularism and anatomic studies during that time.
Steinberg, however, had his own take on the matter, namely that all those people were in reality bringing attention to Jesus' junk because it's the symbol of his mortality, without which his later resurrection (and thus all of Christianity) wouldn't make any sense. We're kind of willing to agree with Steinberg here, mainly because he was the first person to actually notice this trend.
THIS. This somehow flew under everyone's radar.
That's why there are so many portraits of folks bringing attention to Christ's (*cough*) "humanity," including numerous depictions of one of the three wise men kneeling in front of and intently staring at Jesus' rod and staff to confirm that he really could die for our sins one day:
Pieter Bruegel the Elder
"It's a very scientific process."
And another, even stranger thing you'll find in old Christian artwork ...
#3. Mary Magdalene Is Often Portrayed as a Werewolf
Photos.com/Photos.com/Getty Images
Everyone remembers Mary Magdalene as the original prostitute with a heart of gold who (literally) found Jesus. However, absolutely no one remembers Mary as a hairy beast whose special services catered specifically to first century furries ... well, no one except Renaissance and medieval artists, apparently:
Jan Polack
Prostitute, biblical heroine, discoverer of static electricity.
Yes, it would appear that, once upon a time, artists couldn't get enough of showing Mary Magdalene completely covered in fur from head to toe. Sometimes the fur would seem to be growing directly out of her skin, and sometimes it would be an extension of her luscious locks. Either way, if you were alive a few hundred years ago, you probably pictured the biblical poster girl for redemption as the most apt candidate for laser hair removal.
But never waxing. Dear God, never waxing.
Around the 15th century, the depictions of Mary Magdalene in art started becoming more sexualized to really accentuate her sin before being redeemed by Jesus. And as many artists kept painting her in increasingly salacious poses while whispering "You're a naughty, naughty girl" under their breath, somewhere down the line they began putting more emphasis on Mary Magdalene's hair due to reasons that are creepy and not worth thinking about too much.
Jacopo del Sellaio
"Maybe put her in a vagina cave, too, while you're at it."
Actually, the emphasis on her hair was probably influenced by the motif of sexually promiscuous "wild women," who were often depicted in European art with au naturel fur suits, as it linked them to nature and, by extension, paganism, a lack of morality, and the devil.
"So, does the ... uh, everything match the drapes?"
So Mary's hair is really just a bizarre and kind of lazy metaphor for promiscuity and her past life as a prostitute, which, by the way, she never was. Mary's reputation as a sex worker was actually a total fabrication from the Middle Ages, but as the old medieval saying goes, "Never let the truth stand in the way of your disturbing hair-centered fetishes."
"Hey, leave the boobs alone. We don't want people thinking we're weird."
But it's not like Christianity is the only source of baffling artwork ...

It is usually stated that the (possibly uncountable) product of regular topological spaces is regular. However the only proof that I know of this fact seems to use the full axiom of choice :
See here (proof based on Mukres' Topology p.197).
Do we really need AC (does this imply AC) ? Would it hold in ZF, or in ZF + a weaker form of choice ?

This is a question originally from Fitocracy by ivh:
Btw, does anybody know how the Swedish word "fartlek" made it into English running lingo?
This is a question originally from Fitocracy by ivh:
It doesn't appear to be a commonly known Swedish word, but rather a term coined for a specific purpose: Swedish coach Gösta Holmér developed the fartlek training method in 1937.
The method was introduced to the US in the 1940s, after two Swedes made it famous:
The earliest citation in the OED is from a 1952 Scholastic Coach:
An earlier snippet dated 1950 from the American Athletic Journal (by the National Association of Basketball Coaches of the United States and American Football Coaches Association) has a note from the editor saying this training method is spreading globally:
And a book called Fartlek: The Swedish Distance Training Technique, from Track & Field News, March-Sept., 1949 was published in Los Altos, California. Contents:
The technique was further described in American and British running and physical education publication in the fifties.
I'm Swedish and I've never used or even seen the word fartlek. It's not listed in the most common of Swedish dictionairies - although quite easy to understand in Swedish. "Fart" means speed, "lek" means play or game. So, a car race might be a "fartlek" if it's running for fun. Does that make sense?
I'm afraid it didn't take a great deal to find what it means: http://oxforddictionaries.com/definition/fartlek?q=fartlek
Since Swedish has an, um, interesting single word for that method of training and English doesn't really, it's not surprising that the Swedish word found its way in.
From wikipedia
Linking to the article Finding Fartlek
AFAIK the transfer is attributable to trainer Jack Daniels and his popular book 1988 Daniel's Running Formula, in which he describes, how he learned about the training method from a Swedish trainer.
From his blurb:
This term was used a lot in the British Army. When I was in the Mob not so long back, during physical training running sessions, we did 100 m normal pace followed by 50 m fast pace repeatedly.

The Orthodox Church is one of several denominations that teach the Real Presence, but they don't all have the same understanding of this doctrine. What is the Orthodox understanding?

We Eastern Orthodox take Christ at His word that "if you do not eat My Flesh and drink My Blood, you have no life in you." Indeed this is a hard saying---who can accept it? In my limited understanding as a babe in Orthodoxy (I entered the Orthodox Church but a year ago), we just accept it as a holy Mystery and try not to qualify it in philosophical terms. From my limited understanding and knowledge of Roman Catholic doctrine, this distinguishes our dogmatic approach towards the Holy Mysteries from theirs. However, I think the Eucharist is a mystical experience for both of us.
First and foremost, the Body and Blood of our Lord Jesus are not objects to be understood cataphatically or apophatically, but instead they are our food, and God Himself in us. They are primarily to be experienced (insofar as one experiences food), and only secondarily to be understood.
Real Presence in regards to Catholic and Orthodox views is, essentially, transubstantiation.
The idea behind this is that the bread and wine actually become the body and blood of Christ after it has been consecrated.
This is quit different from the Lutheran view of "Real Presence".
In the Anglican Catholic Church, the change to the elements of the wafer and wine is mysterious, and no-one tries to explain what has happened. But there is no doubt that the wafer and wine in some way become the body and blood of Christ, and that Christ is indeed present during the Eucharist. Christ is also present if any surplus wafers are reserved on the altar - a light is suspended to the left of the altar to signify the presence of Christ.
This is an addendum: Anglican Catholic doctrine is also Orthodox doctrine. Our Bibles contain the same books (80). The Greek Church Fathers are accepted as authorities in the Anglican Catholic Church. The Church Fathers include: St. Clement, Origen, St. Iranaeus, St Augustine, St. Athenasius, St. Gregory, St. Cyril, Tertullian, St. Chrysostom, St. Cyprian, Theodoret. We call ourselves Catholic and Orthodox Anglicans. Our Metropolitan has said "Our doctrine is both Catholic and Orthodox." Our doctrine is so much that of the Greek Orthodox Church that I was asked to teach there.
Even earlier the Bishops of the C of E made a statement about doctrine.
II. From the books entitled "The Institution," and "A Necessary Doctrine, &c.," agreed on by the Bishops in England, A.D. 1537 and 1643: "All those things which were taught by the Apostles, and have been by a whole universal consent of the Church of Christ ever since that time taught continually, and taken always for true, ought to be received, accepted, and kept as a perfect doctrine Apostolic." III. From a Canon made by a Synod in England, A.D. 1571 Let Preachers above all things be careful that they never teach aught in a sermon to be religiously held and believed by the people, except that which is agreeable to the doctrine of the Old and New Testaments, and which has been collected from the same doctrine by the Catholic Fathers and ancient Bishops. [ed: which includes the Greek Fathers]
And here you see that the Anglican Church accepts the oral traditions of the Church as do the Orthodox.
IV. From a work of Archbishop Bramhall, entitled Schism Guarded: "We do not only admit oral traditions in general, as an excellent introduction to the doctrine of saving truth, and a singular help to expound the holy Scriptures, but also particular unwritten traditions, derived from the Apostles, and delivered unto us by the manifest testimony of the primitive Church, being agreeable to the holy Scriptures. The Apostles did speak by inspiration, as well as write; and their tradition, whether by word or writing, indifferently, was the Word of God, into which Faith was resolved. .... St. Augustine setteth us down a certain rule, how to know a true genuine Apostolical tradition: 'Whatsoever,' saith he, 'the universal Church doth hold, which has not been instituted by Councils, but always received, is most rightly believed to have been delivered by Apostolical authority." Oxford ed. p. 382.
And from our Church web site: The word "Catholic" is often understood in opposition to the word "Protestant." However, this is both a recent and uniquely western perspective. In the ancient church, catholicism was understood to be the opposite of heresy, or false belief, and even today there are millions of Christians in Greece, Russia, and other parts of the world who consider themselves neither "Catholic" nor "Protestant," but "Orthodox."
From the Constitution of the ACC "The received Tradition of the Church and its teaching as set forth by "the ancient catholic bishops and doctors", and especially as defined by the Seven Ecumenical Councils of the undivided Church, to the exclusion of all errors, ancient and modern.

Many good questions generate some degree of opinion based on expert experience, but answers to this question will tend to be almost entirely based on opinions, rather than facts, references, or specific expertise.If this question can be reworded to fit the rules in the help center, please edit the question.
Self-education is not just good, but essential if you want to be an above-average developer.
The only person responsible for your professional progress is you. Sure, formal education, training courses, etc. can help, but at the end of the day, it is your career.
I'm fortunate enough to have benefitted from a very good education, and I have had good employers who have supported my learning in all sorts of different ways. However, the vast majority of what I have learned about programming I have picked up myself - by reading lots and practicing more.
Generally the more you know the more self learning becomes the only efficient way to teach yourself things.
Courses are great when you're just starting out as a kick start but after that you get a diminishing return for days sitting in a classroom as the course moves at the pace of the slowest participant. Once you've got a reasonable level of experience that's almost never you so you're always going to be wasting time.
Self study on the other hand allows you to pace yourself. If you get something quickly you can skim along, if you don't understand it go back and go over it again. If you think a topic is irrelevant you can ignore it.
What I've taught myself? In terms of things I've learned from scratch: HTML, ASP, VB.NET, JavaScript, LotusScript, a bit of Python, a bit of Java.
But in reality almost everything useful is self taught on the job. You may learn the basics on a course but where you really learn it is using it so I'd say 95% of what I know (if not more) is self taught.
I've learn .NET, C#, ASP.NET and ASP.NET MVC successfully by myself.
It's not like somebody was going to teach them to me.
Self-education is the core of programmer learning. University, colleagues, they all give you tips and hints when you need them but you still have to learn the larger part on your own. Books, blogs, articles, documentation, experimentation on your personal time, that's how you learn.
There are several aspects to self learning, the first of course being independent study where you seek knowledge and begin putting it to practical use. This could mean buying some books, studying open source code, experimenting until the wee hours of the morning or (usually) all of the above.
At some point, however, you are going to need one or several mentors to guide you through caveats, tough topics, best practices and solid engineering principles. An efficient self learner will seek these mentors much sooner than later, and get his/her code in front of as many highly experienced people as possible.
I learned BASIC, Pascal, C, PHP, rudimentary x86 assembly without taking classes, but that doesn't mean that I did not have a teacher to call upon when I needed one. So, given the fact that I learned a considerable amount from mentors that I found in the free/open source community .. I'd be hard pressed to say that I learned anything on my own or by myself.
This method of learning is the only method that works for me, reaching far beyond the study of programming.
I think we learn along with the job all the time.
I've learnt Struts, Spring and a host of other open source java frameworks and even using Tomcat by myself when I was working on Java/JSP projects. The company was not going to pay for this ;)
And now these are the technologies I use in my work daily.
A couple of random ramblings on the subject...
As all others have said, you are going to have to do a lot of self-study as your career progresses. One thing that I haven't really seen spelled out here, though, is the reality is that you will find it very difficult to find that first job without some formal education in a related field, especially in a recession. A lot of resumes pass over the "filtering desk," and if there is nothing on there with related education on it, it is likely to be passed over. You may squeak by if you have a lot of related experience, but it depends on how closely somebody reads your resume (which, in the first round, is unfortunately not very likely). It's unclear if this applies to you, but it will apply to somebody, I'm sure.
On a (somewhat) unrelated note, self-study is great, but having the time to do so is even greater (and more rare, I would argue). We all fit it in somehow, but if you are given the opportunity to take some time each day to work on learning something, grab it and hold on with all your might.
Delphi. I've learn Pascal in high-school and see once the IDE, like it, download some tutorials and start learning. And today, continuing the learning process. When you self-learn there are good parts and bad parts: 1) self-learning is the best method to learn, because you really understand what's happening there (good part) 2) you can make big errors by misunderstanding something/get a bad habit and then if you're continue in this manner, is very difficult to correct this.(bad part)
best regards,
You need to get the point you don't need hand holding. You must be at the point where you can pick up a book, look at a help file, find a tutorial, etc. and learn the principals you need for your job.
BTW, you need this for any and every job, not just programming. The medium of how you self-learn may be different but you must do it.
I learned most of my C/C++ knowledge in class, but all of my other programming languages, all of my theory, all of my project management, and tons of other knowledge that makes me the hacker I am were self-taught.
As others have said, self-education in our industry is not just good, it's necessary. This isn't like being a plumber or baking bread: technology is always evolving, and we have to move with it or become irrelevant.
It's worth asking: what are the implications of this? The best hackers aren't just code monkeys spitting out code -- we take the time to learn the big-picture stuff. Algorithms, complexity, language design, etc. will stay with us and serve us well no matter what language we find ourselves using, or what we find ourselves using it for. I've seen this type of hacker jump from one part of the tech industry to a completely different one, effortlessly.
Too many people think the "big picture" concepts are above the heads of all but academics, and I strongly disagree. When you take the time to learn them, you'll find that some are already practiced intuitively by good coders, and the rest make sense once you've become familiar with them.
Self-education is necessary unless you have a generous benefactor willing to support formal training time and time again. I've had to learn a lot of things on my own outside of a class room, to name some of the bigger ones:
At the same time, only doing self-education can be dangerous as not everyone wants to do everything this way. For some people they may want more structure and not be so independent in driving their way through learning something.
@Kramii is correct; programmers will have to self-educate throughout their career
Q: What have i learned successfully by myself?
A: Everything
Teaching is a myth; the teacher can only make the information available, the student must listen and decide to learn or not, and what to learn. The teacher can only show you the path. In other words all education is fundamentally self-education
Now if you just mean 'what did you learn outside of a classroom that was useful', my answer would be
A: Almost Everything
because when I was in school the universities were in general 12-15 years behind the market in what they taught. For example, during the day the university was 'teaching' me procedural programming using PL/1, and at night I was writing an object-oriented programming language in Assembly.
Since then, books and google are my teachers.
Apparently all answers agree that self-education is everything. I don't think that's completely right. A good teacher can teach you a lot and especially can teach you fast. Obviously at some point you have to take the matters into your own hands and start researching, reading, trying. Even a book is written by someone (a teacher) and tries to teach you something. That same person could be standing in the room and replying to all your questions instead of making you waste time in searching. Searching and banging your head against the wall on the other hand will make the lessons learned very valuable and unlikely to be forgotten.
Especially for starting in a new subject I think a good teacher is very very very helpful. And those who are so keen on self-education should self-educate without wikipedia, without stackoverflow, without books and without blogs ;-)

Why the violent protests in the Middle East
Sept. 15, 2012 Nabil Echchaibi
It has all the ingredients for a disaster. That's how Nabil Echchaibi (Nah-Bill Shah-bee), an assistant professor of journalism and media studies at CU-Boulder, explains why violent protests by Muslims over a film depicting the prophet Muhammad continue to erupt across the Middle East.
CUT 1 "When something like this happens and it's got American roots to it, then it's easy to make things erupt the way they do. (:08) Another ingredient of the story is that it was circulated very early on, actually by the Wall Street Journal, that there was an Israeli-American behind it. (:17) It's Israel. It's America and, of course, it's the fact that this is the first film that Muslims can see the Prophet being depicted. You put all these ingredients together and you've got a recipe for disaster." (:33)
Echchaibi, who calls himself a moderate Muslim, does not condone the violent protests. And he says that although Muslims are insulted by the film, only a minority are protesting violently.
CUT 2 "I talk to people in Morocco and the outrage is quite widespread but it doesn't mean that every single person is going to go out and participate in a mob and go and protest at the door of an embassy. (:15) There were in Libya people standing in these peaceful demonstrations with signs that say 'No to the ridicule of Islam. No to the ridicule of the prophet' but also 'No to terrorism.'" (:30)
In some cases he believes extreme Islamists are exploiting the anger Muslims feel about the film. He explains how the host of an Islamist Egyptian TV show aired a clip of the film and challenged viewers to act.
CUT 3 "And he was literally beseeching fellow Muslims to do something about this and he said, 'How long are we gong to be silent about this. Our prophet is denigrated.' And then they showed about 4 minutes or so of the YouTube video. (:18) I am a very moderate Muslim and it played and it stirred up emotions in me. And I can imagine someone who is a literalist and a radical being easily moved by the words that he or she were hearing at the time." (:34)
As for the deadly attack in Libya, although he can't prove it, Echchaibi believes al Qaeda and other radical Islamist groups are responsible and not an unruly crowd of protesters.
CUT 4 "This is not a far-fetched idea. This is a very political move on the part of al Qaeda. And Ansar al Sharia, which is another group that is affiliated with al Qaeda, has been saying all along, 'Look, we want an Islamist government.' (:17) And the fact that this is at night also tells me this is not a spontaneous mob. A mob does not come out at 10 p.m. Why would they come out at 10 p.m.?" (:27)
Echchaibi is associate director of the Center for Media, Religion and Culture at the University of Colorado Boulder. His research focuses on issues such as identity, religion and the role of media in shaping and reflecting modern religious subjectivities among Muslims in the Middle East.

Is a Jew allowed to violate shabbos to save a non-Jew's life?
Sign up

Yes. To quote R' Moshe Feinsten, "A refusal to treat a non-Jew on the Sabbath would be totally unacceptable... (Igrot Moshe, Orah Hayyim 4:79; Additional sources below for this ruling can be found below.)
There are several reasons:
Sources: R. Moshe Sofer, Responsa Hatam Sofer, Yoreh Deah 131, Hoshen Mishpat 194; R. Yisrael Lifschitz, Tiferet Yisrael, Avodah Zarah 2:6; R. Hayim Halberstam, Responsa Divrei Hayim vol. 2 Orah Hayim 25; R. Shalom David Ungvar, Responsa Yad Shalom 57; R. Mordekhai Ya'akov Breisch, Responsa Helkat Ya'akov vol. 2 54; R. Moshe Feinstein, Iggerot Moshe vol. 4, 49; R. Yitzhak Ya'akov Weiss, Responsa Minhat Yitzhak, vol. 1 53, vol. 3 20, vol. 10 31:14; R. Eliezer Yehudah Waldenburg, Responsa Tzitz Eliezer, vol. 8 15:6; R. Ovadia Yosef, Responsa Yabia Omer, vol. 8 Orah Hayim 38; R. Shlomo Zalman Braun, She'arim Metzuyanim Bahalakhah, 92:1; R. Zvi Hirsch Shapira, Darkhei Teshuvah, 158:3; R. Yehoshua Yishayahu Neuwirth, Shemirat Shabbat Kehilkhatah ch. 40 n. 42; R. Simhah Benzion Rabinowitz, Piskei Teshuvot, 390:2 (Courtesy R' Gil Student.)
For additional information, please see:
According to the strict letter of Halacha saving a non-Jews life on Shabbos by doing a Melacha (forbidden acts) is not permitted; To quote the Kitzur Shulchan Aruch 92:1 "Shabbos is pushed aside for Sakonas Nefoshos (life & death situations).. therefore it is a Mitzvah to desecrate Shaboss for a Kosher person (even if he sometimes does sins) who is in mortal danger" (See also the uncensored Shulchan Aruch Yore Dei'ah 158:1).
One of the answers above misrepresented R. M. Feinstein's words by saying "To quote R' Moshe Feinsten, "A refusal to treat a non-Jew on the Sabbath would be totally unacceptable...", the impression is that is is Halachikly unacceptable when in reality he's saying that it is socially unacceptable. In the Teshuvah itself RMF says to try to avoid the situation and he's only talking about a doctor who by law has the obligation to heal the sick or otherwise face repercussions. In the end he concludes with the words "one can rule that it (inaction by a doctor) is like a Sakanah (danger) and therefore one may permit it".
For a short synopsis of some of the sources mentioned in the aforementioned answer, see Shearim Metzuyanim Bahalacha 92:1, 1) He brings an argument between the Pri Megadim who says we do not desecrate Shabbos for one who doesn't keep Shabbos Litai'ovon (for convenience reasons) and the Maharam Shik who is not sure about it. 2) He quotes the Pri Megadim who says that we do not desecrate Shabbos for a non-Jew and for one who doesn't keep Shabbos Lihach'is ('to anger G-d'). 3) He quotes the Chassam Sofer who says it is probably Halachakly permissible nowadays to ride in a wagon driven by a non-Jew to heal a non-Jew since inaction will cause the non-Jews to hate us for it and it may lead to danger for Jews. 4) He quotes the Divrei Chaim who says that a doctor is only allowed to desecrate Shabbos by doing actions prohibited by the sages but not by doing actions forbidden by Torah law. 5) He quotes the Yad Sholom who says that if by government law the doctor must desecrate Shabbos even by doing actions forbidden by Torah law, it may be permitted.
The halachic permission to break the Sabbath to save someone's life is because a)the passuk says God gave the Jews the mitzvah's to "live by" and b)we break one Shabbos so others will be kept.
Yet, the Divrei Chaim rules that to save a non-Jew's is permitted, even though the mechanisms which allow us to violate Shabbos to save a life wouldn't apply there are other reasons to permit it.
It does not depend on if he is Jewish or not.
It depends on if they will keep more Mitzvos.
For a observant Jew and a Ger Toshav you have to violate Shabbos to save there life. Anyone else you cannot.
None of this is very impressive and doesn't address the fact that the Mishnah states that before one breaks shabbat by removing stones off a person one is obliged to inquire whether that person is Jewish or not. I would be grateful to receive the location of this Mishnah. I used to think it was in Sanhedrin, but am unable to find it.
Yes. See Shmuel L's answer.
I write here to add a bit of perspective, or maybe apologetics.
One might have thought that one cannot save either a Jew's life or a non-Jew's life on Shabbos. Perhaps the Shabbos, which attests to Hashem's creation of us all, and is so serious and important that its deliberate violation (under certain circumstances) merits the death penalty, should also not be violated even if it means dying.
Indeed, in the time of Antiochus, the "Chasidim" maintained precisely this position. They refused to fight on Shabbos, and so were slaughtered. But Matisyahu allowed fighting on Shabbos.
Is this a "loophole"? Not really. It is a derasha in a perhaps evolving system. (One can innovate a new derasha. For instance, the Biblical permission to marry Ammonite and Moabite woman, but maintaining the prohibition to marry Ammonite and Moabite men, was a derasha from the time of Boaz.)
Within this system, at certain stages, perhaps the loophole did not cover every person and every case. If that meant that e.g. an idolatrous non-Jew was not included in the exception, that does not mean that one life was valued over another life. It meant that Shabbos was still so important, and the requirements for the exclusion (for the sake of being able to keep more Shabbats) were not met.
Then, other "loopholes" which are not loopholes emerged, to include other other persons. See the several reasons above, in Shmuel L's answer. But one should not take offense that these are technical 'loopholes', or that it is only משום איבה, etc. If so, one should take equal offense at the first exception.

In Dragon Age on the PC, the number keys (1, 2, 3, ...) are used to select responses during a conversation.
The numpad keys (the 0-9 keys on the right side of the keyboard) don't work for this, even with Num Lock turned on. I don't see any options in the game's built-in "remap keys" menu to have the numpad keys do this.
Is there any way to remap the numpad keys to select conversation responses in Dragon Age? Perhaps some configuration file can be edited?

Traveling During Pregnancy
In This Article:
Air and foreign travel
Air Travel
If you're traveling by plane, think ahead for your own comfort and safety. Although plane travel is generally safe during pregnancy, there are certain precautions you should think about. In fact, some airlines have restrictions on pregnant travelers. To avoid a delivery at 33,000 feet or an emergency landing, some will not carry women past their 36th week. This is important to keep in mind for the return trip. You might get out of your hometown at Week 30, but if you're planning to return very close to your due date, you might have trouble getting permission to board for the return trip.
As for the plane ride itself, pamper yourself:
- Ask for a bulkhead seat. These are roomier and let you stretch out your legs. They are in great demand, so mention that you're pregnant and hope for preferential treatment.
- Request an aisle seat. This lets you get up to stretch and visit the bathroom as often as you need without bothering other passengers.
- Bring your own snacks so you're not held hostage waiting for a bag of peanuts.
- Bring a large bottle of water. The recirculated air on a commercial jet can be extremely dry and can lead to dehydration. Drink lots of fluids during the flight.
- If you are prone to motion sickness, check with your doctor about using a medication like Dramamine. Most are safe to take during pregnancy.
Hey Mom!
When you travel, be sure to pack your prenatal vitamins and quick-energy snacks.
Because x-rays are dangerous to a developing fetus, many pregnant women are worried about passing through the airport x-ray machines used for security. Although x-rays are used to examine carry-on luggage that gets sent down the transport belt, the metal detector you walk through is harmless!
The real danger from radiation comes from flying itself. Flying in an airplane exposes you to high-energy cosmic radiation given off by the stars and sun. The amount of radiation depends on your location and altitude. The nearer the North or South Pole you fly and the higher you fly, the greater the level of radiation. Frequent flyers, flight attendants, and pregnant women have been warned that long, high-altitude flights over polar regions can expose them to more radiation than the federal government currently recommends. If you're taking a short domestic flight to visit your mother, don't worry at all. But if you're doing extensive, long-range flying, you should talk to your doctor about the levels of radiation you might be exposed to.
Foreign Travel
Traveling to a foreign country is always exciting and packed with adventure. But traveling abroad can also expose you to diseases that your immune system (which is weakened during pregnancy) might have a hard time fighting off. Proper immunizations will protect you from most problems; ideally you should get these vaccines several months before you become pregnant. But if you must be immunized now, talk to your doctor about which ones are safe during pregnancy.
The Centers for Disease Control and Prevention suggests the following:
- Pregnant women should not receive MMR vaccine (measles, mumps, and rubella).
- The yellow fever or polio (OPV) vaccine should be given to pregnant women only if there is a substantial risk of exposure.
- Being vaccinated in the second or third trimester minimizes theoretical concerns over possible birth defects. (Vaccinations in the first trimester do not always offer this protection because the fetus's organs have not all been formed at that time.)
The Centers for Disease Control and Prevention also tells us that there is no convincing evidence for risk to the unborn baby from inactivated viral or bacterial vaccines. These vaccines include: hepatitis A, hepatitis B, rabies, injected typhoid, meningococcal, pneumococcal, Tetanus-diphtheria toxoid, injected polio, and Japanese encephalitis.
Another problem that can ruin a trip to a foreign country is travelers' diarrhea. There are organisms in the food and water of some countries that don't bother the natives because they are used to them, but they can make you very sick. To reduce the risk of illness when visiting less-developed foreign countries, drink only bottled water, do not use ice cubes in your drinks, and avoid fresh, uncooked produce.

Is there any list of words use in screenplay? Like below. What word I can use to describe the sound of metal gate and a sound of a tower built in metal? THUD - body fall sound BANG - some blast sound, etc
Consider screech, clang, clank, groan.
• screech, "A high-pitched strident or piercing sound, such as that between a moving object and any surface."
Why not simply describe the FX you want.
Footsteps on gravel, rusty metal gate opening, reverberating gunshot, scream of pain is far more useful in a screenplay than Crunch, Creak, Kapowee, Aaaagh. Unless of course you are writing a comic book.

I am particularly angry at myself for the last few days. I noticed how inefficiently I work. Here is the general scenario:
I decided to study abstract algebra and analysis some days back. I tried reading Herstein's Topics in Algebra and then decided to go for analysis. Once again, I tried reading Rudin and breezed through chapter 1 and got horrified while reading chapter 2. I lost interest in analysis and came back to Herstein. Later, I saw some comments on mathoverflow by someone that he read Rudin's Analysis when in high school. I felt insulted as I thought it was cowardly to leave Rudin. So, I tried reading Rudin again with the same result.
After a month, here I am, having forgotten whatever I read in Rudin and Herstein.
My questions are :
1) How do people study efficiently?(I am seeking answers from someone doing at least graduate studies and above) I have wasted nearly a month juggling from one book to another and do not want to end up wasting more.
2) Do you find it efficient to study one book at a time or is studying two topics at a time advisable?
Thanks for replying!

5 Reasons The Internet Could Die At Any Moment
The Internet was originally invented to be a communication network that could survive a nuclear war. Ironically, the monster that grew from that idea known as the World Wide Web is actually very, very fragile. They didn't anticipate what the Internet would become--because they weren't fucking insane--and as a result, the whole operation now sits on a rather shaky foundation.
#5. The Internet is a Series of Cables, and Cables Can be Cut
The Catastrophe:
Considering how much people freak out when a single big site goes down (everyone remember the Great Gmail Outage of '09?) it's clear that most of us think of the Internet in general as pretty much invincible. If an asteroid smashed into the Earth tomorrow, millions of us would immediately pull out our phones to try to get Twitter updates from the affected area.
"It must be pretty bad. Ashton Kutcher hasn't tweeted in days."
But the truth is, the Internet travels from continent to continent by way of a network of trans-oceanic cables, each thousands of miles long and only as thick around as a thumb. If enough of these high-pressure porn hoses were compromised, international Internet communication could collapse entirely.
Since these cables are the backbone of a huge portion of the global economy, they must be pretty well protected, right? Guards in armored diving suits, badass nuclear submarines inexplicably captained by Scotsmen, Kraken...
We're pretty sure AT&T has at least one of these at their disposal.
As it turns out, the cables aren't protected at all.
And it's not like they're impervious to damage either. The largest of them, hilariously named "SEA-ME-WE-3" was severed by a 7.1 magnitude earthquake, and in December of 2008 a boat anchor sliced it and three other cables in half. The disaster cut communications capacity between Europe, the Middle East and India by around 75 percent.
Hundreds of millions of people spent weeks without reliable (or, in some cases, any) Internet access. Because of an anchor.
Nukes are hard to come by, but we're pretty sure Al-Qaeda can scrounge up one of these.
Though, some skeptics point out that the idea of three separate cables being cut "accidentally" by anchors within a few days of each other is a little far-fetched. They've proposed terrorists, Israel, drunken fishermen and the Pentagon as possible alternate causes.
So What Can We Do?
Nothing. Remember the SEA-ME-WE 3 cable we told you about? It's more than twenty-thousand goddamn miles long. Look at this map of all the undersea cables. There's no way you could police all of that, not even with a thousand Krakens AND Bill Murray in a scuba suit.
You'd need at least two.
On the plus side, it's not exactly hard to repair a damaged cable. These things get busted up all the time, which is why the telecoms that own them have repair boats on stand-by. That means everything should be fine unless some bad guys think up a way to really fuck them up.
#4. Hordes of Zombie Robots Will Kill Us All
The Catastrophe:
You may not have heard of Leo Kuvayev, but you've gotten a shitload of emails from him.
He's one of the most influential men in the spam industry. He has headed up several of the world's largest spam networks and is one of the people most responsible for the way spammers operate today. Despite being wanted in several countries, Kuvayev remains free (and fabulously wealthy) to this day. He lives in exile in either Tahiti or Finland.
The face of a billion displaced Ethiopian princes.
While breaking Leo's kneecaps with a baseball bat would be both morally justified and incredibly cathartic, you may want to keep your righteous anger in check. It's generally a bad idea to fuck with supervillains. Leo is believed to be the man in charge of the Storm Botnet, a massive network of hijacked drone computers that may number in the tens of millions. If he wanted to, he could turn that vast robot army on you.
But hey, what's the worse a few million zombified computers can do? They might be able to blast you off of the web for a few days, but there's no way a botnet could cause lasting harm to the whole Internet. Right?
To give you a sense of scale, Storm is estimated by some to be responsible for a whopping 20 percent of the spam on the Internet. That measures out to billions of messages every single day, including tens of millions of emails laden with viruses that create more bots. Some experts estimate that the botnet is powerful enough to muscle entire goddamn countries off of the Internet.
While Storm is the first botnet to attain this kind of power, it won't be the last. The Storm botnet grew from the Storm Worm, which was spread through a series of spam messages with provocative titles like, "230 dead as storm batters Europe" and "Chinese missile shot down USA aircraft." People across the world (but mainly in the U.S.) saw what they thought was an important news story in their inbox, opened the email and were immediately infected with the worm.
And just wait until he unleashes Big Worm.
This testical-shrivellingly terrifying video tracks the exponential spread of the botnet. Imagine what someone with grander designs than life as a spam kingpin could do with that sort of power. Entire nations and corporate networks could be brought to their knees, world communication and trade would be disrupted. The Internet as we know it would be rendered almost uninhabitable.
So What Can We Do?
Conventional cyber-warfare tactics are useless against the botnet. As soon as a computer is infected, the worm lobotomizes and re-programs any existing anti-virus software, rendering it harmless. The botnet also has active defenses, and has gone on the offensive and D-DOSed several major anti-spam sites into oblivion. Back in February of 2007, the botnet even attacked the 13 "root" servers that make up the backbone of the Internet's infrastructure. Two of them were severely damaged.
Operating at only 10 to 20 percent capacity, the Storm Botnet has national security experts and anti-spam crusaders pissing themselves in terror. To put things in less technical terms: Leo Kuvayev is tooling around the Internet in an M1 Abrams tank, and the authorities are trying to stop him with sticks and stones and harsh language.
Quit it you big meanie!
The only real defense against a threat like the Storm Botnet is knowledge. All we need is for the entire Internet-using public to become tech-savvy, intelligent and careful about what they click on. Shouldn't be a problem.
#3. Someone Impersonates the Ferryman.
The Catastrophe:
Imagine the Internet is a river. In order to get to your destination (website) you need to pay (with a URL) the ferryman (a DNS server) so he can paddle you to your destination (John Mayer/Hulk Hogan slash fiction websites).
Your body is a wonderland.
Now imagine brigands (hackers) ambush the ferryman before he can get to you. They hand him his infant daughter's severed ear, wrapped in a stained white cloth. They tell him to paddle his next fare to bandit island (spyware-riddled websites) if he ever wants to see his beautiful family again.
Thankfully, the Geneva Convention doesn't apply to metaphors.
Of course, this being the futuristic year of 2010, such crude hijackings can't actually happen on any kind of large scale, right?
Back in 2007, Microsoft discovered a massive vulnerability in their DNS servers that could allow them to be hijacked by a hacker. Then, in 2008, the DNS Survey revealed that as many as one in four public DNS servers were highly vulnerable to attack. Programmers and security experts set frantically to work in order to correct the issue. They got a handle on things just in time for another gigantic goddamn problem to pop up.
It's like a game of Root Beer Tapper, but with the entire Internet at stake.
The Internet doubles in size every five years or so. This insane growth has led a massive expansion in the number of DNS servers. More traffic means more ferrymen. The thing is, the Internet's real, chief weakness is that it was built by people. Many of those people were diligent, careful workers, but most of them were just like the rest of us; lazy, irresponsible and frequently intoxicated. Millions of these new servers were set up without any security whatsoever. They allow open access to anyone with the know-how to hijack them. This is actually even scarier than it sounds.
In addition to controlling where our browser takes us when we hit "enter," the DNS servers are what direct your email. With control of the DNS server it passes through, an intruder could stop and redirect your email, or riddle it with viruses and then send it on its way.
That inspirational poem Grandma forwarded to you may have more viruses than Bret Michaels's hot tub.
This isn't theoretical. These vulnerabilities exist now, just waiting for malicious assholes to take advantage of. It could happen tomorrow, or next week, or right n-
So What Can We Do?
The safety of the Internet at large rests in the flabby hands of a brave, thankless few and they've been busy getting patches out to cover this particular flaw. But that was a Band-Aid solution and the permanent fix appears to have problems of its own.
This is the point where understanding the issue requires several years of education in exactly how DNS servers work. So we'd like to pause here to express wonder that the Internet works at all.

MANHATTAN, Kan. (WIBW) -- Wildcat fans who couldn't make it out to Arizona for the Fiesta Bowl were cheering on their team from their home base in the Little Apple Thursday night.
Fans filled local hot spots, including those in Aggieville like Kite's and Tubby's, making a fiesta of their own as they joined together to celebrate the final game of their team's successful season.
A watch party was also head at the Student Union on K-State's campus where students and fans gathered to see the much anticipated bowl game.
"The Cats are just being awesome, winning as much as they can. They only lost one and it's been amazing for me," said Cameron Augustine, a young K-State fan.
"It's been awesome, going out to the Cats games all season and tailgating, taking on everybody, just doing what we do best," added Jake Bollin, K-State student.
Many of the fans we caught up with wished they could be among the estimated 40,000 fans who traveled to Glendale but they were still proud to support the team here at home.

In Mac OS X Lion 10.7, Safari preserved the state of my tabs when it closed. This functionality seems to have disappeared in OS X 10.8 Mountain Lion. Is there a way to restore (no pun intended) this feature from with the System Preferences or perhaps a Terminal trick?
Undo quitting of all applications
Apple has slightly changed the wording but the location for this setting is still the same as in Lion:
System Preferences → General → Close windows when quitting an application
Undo quitting for a specific application
This works only with Close windows when quitting an application disabled at the same time.
Type the following command in the Terminal. Then restart the specific application.
In general the syntax is:
Thus, in your case (Safari.app) it is:
You can undo this by using the parameter
If you prefer a graphical interface, you can use TinkerTool. But the current version 4.9 only supports the toggling on a per app basis in Lion. I'll update this answer when TinkerTool adds this feature for Mountain Lion as well.
If you already have the "Close windows when quitting an application" setting disabled, but certain apps don't restore their windows (while most other apps do), this fix worked for me:
The setting should now be applied uniformly across all apps. At the very least, this fixed the issue where Safari would not restore its windows (even though other apps were doing so). (In my case, back in Lion I disabled window restoring on a few specific apps with the hidden setting via Terminal; Safari may have been one of them.)
You also need to check the
The default behaviour should be a "does not exist" error, but if either is set to
You can restore the default setting with:

I have an App which contains a gallery with images in a Gridview. If I tap on one of the Images it opens up a view which shows the single image that I've selected. I can then switch between the images by sliding horizontally. I have a text on the bottom and the image is above the text. If I now switch to landscape mode the text is shown on top of the image. What would be a nice way to present the text?
Thanks a lot!
This is the portrait mode:
And this the landscape mode:
So I would like to know where to position the image/text in landscape mode and how to style it (inside a box? on a black background? etc.)
