I'm training to climb large mountains. What kind of ascent should I train for at altitude. Let's say above 12000 feet and carrying up to 60 lbs?
According the the UIAA: International Mountaineering and Climbing Federation
This is of course only a generalization, and individual rates of ascent will be different.
If the following symptoms occur, you are climbing too quickly and should descend. They are symptoms of Acute Mountain Sickness "AMS" and could lead to High Altitude Cerebral Edema "HACE", or High Altitude Pulmonary Edema "HAPE", if left unchecked.

The birthplace of Buffalo Bill and an eclectic mix of shops and eateries are just a few of the things Dan Kaercher discovered as he wandered through historic LeClaire in eastern Iowa.
Hosted by Dan Kaercher, Iowa's Simple Pleasures features Iowa travel destinations, restaurants, events, parks, recreation and more. Produced by Iowa Public Television, the series highlights fun things for Iowans to do, see and taste, right here at home. Below are excerpts from Dan's journal of his travels in the state.
Maybe you're like me: You only know LeClaire as the first Iowa welcome center and gas stop near the Quad Cities when you return onto I-80 from Illinois. Well, today, I'm exploring the town itself. Our producer has a great idea: We rise bright and early to tape some of our video from Port Byron, Illinois, directly across the Mississippi from LeClaire. It's a tranquil, dreamy view of both town and river, especially at this time of day. (I wish our viewers could see just how hard our IPTV videographers and producers work to get their fantastic footage, especially now that the high-definition age has arrived.)
I'm told later that the river hereabouts hasn't always appeared so calm. At one time, there were rocky rapids, hence the name Rapids City, Illinois. The rapids required navigation by skilled river pilots, many of whom built imposing homes in LeClaire. Nowadays, those rapids are submerged by Mississippi Lock and Dam No. 14.
It's nice to see the I-80 bridge open for two-way traffic once again after having been closed many months for repairs. I'm sure it had an impact on area businesses, especially those dependent on tourism. I chat about that situation with local shop owner and tourism director Donna Walley as she steers us to our first stop in downtown LeClaire -- the Buffalo Bill Museum, situated right along the Mississippi.
The museum contains all sorts of well-displayed and fascinating exhibits, including one spotlighting the Wild West showman who is LeClaire's most famous native son. I feel especially connected because I've also visited Scout's Rest Ranch, Cody's restored home just outside North Platte, Nebraska.
But did you know LeClaire is also the birthplace of James Ryan II, who invented the modern automobile seatbelt and the "black box" found in airplanes. He wound up on the faculty of the University of Minnesota. The other exhibit that really grabs me here is an entire Mississippi River towboat now dry-docked and enclosed in glass beside the river that it plied for more than a century. The Lone Star remains in remarkably good condition. I get to clamber into the pilot house on top and ring the bell!
Back on Cody Road downtown, I can see why this small community is so popular with day-trippers. Inviting historic buildings now accommodate a variety of interesting boutiques, eateries and antique shops. Among the latter is American Archaeology, home of the "American Pickers" of cable TV fame. As we browse and film at her gift shop, Aunt Hattie's Fanciful Emporium, Donna Walley shares her story: She's originally from the Nebraska Sandhills region, then wound up in Los Angeles and New York picking contestants for TV game shows before landing here in LeClaire.
Antiques and collectibles are intriguing, but I'm ready for a snack. At Kernel Cody's Popcorn Shoppe, I get to mix up a fresh batch of their cheese-flavored specialty. Owner and chief popper Heidi Plummer even gives me a bag of rainbow-colored popcorn to take home to my grandchildren. I'll add it to the loaf of Italian bread in my bag from our last stop, Rastrelli's in Clinton.
LeClaire is a truly charming river town that's worked hard to keep its historic downtown district alive. It's now listed on the National Registry of Historic Places. Time to say our good-byes and hit the road again, but not before our producer Paul Yeager - a former Quad Citian - has us head for a couple of his nostalgic stops in nearby Bettendorf. We lunch at Azteca No. 3 (I go for the tamales), followed by some treats at one of the area's legendary Whitey's ice-cream shops. Boy, was that black-raspberry ice-cream soda ever delicious!

I have this confusion.
If $A$ is a matrix, then its eigenvectors are given by $(A-\lambda I)x = 0$. Since $x$ is not equal to zero, $A-\lambda I$ needs to be singular. I don't understand why $A-\lambda I$ needs to be singular. I thought $A-\lambda I$ needed to be zero, isn't it? Any pointers?

Questions and Answers
Closing Remarks
Morris Dees was born in 1936 in Shorter, Ala. The son of a cotton farmer, he was very active in agriculture during high school and was named the Star Farmer of Alabama in 1955 by the Alabama Future Farmers of America. Dees attended undergraduate school at the University of Alabama, where he founded a nationwide direct mail sales company that specialized in book publishing. After graduation from the University of Alabama School of Law in 1960, he opened a law office in Montgomery and continued his business. The direct mail publishing business, Fuller & Dees Marketing Group, grew to be one of the largest publishing companies in the South. In 1969, Dees sold the company to Times Mirror, the parent company of the Los Angeles Times.
During the civil rights movement, Dees became active aiding minorities in court. In 1968, he filed suit to integrate the all-white Montgomery YMCA. Along with Joseph J. Levin Jr., he founded the Southern Poverty Law Center in 1971. The center has engaged in civil rights lawsuits throughout the country. In 1980, the center founded Klanwatch in response to a resurgence in organized racist activity. The project monitors hate groups and develops legal strategies for protecting citizens from violence-prone groups.
To help educate young people about the civil rights movement, Dees developed the idea for the Civil Rights Memorial. Designed by Maya Lin, the memorial bears the names of 40 men, women and children who lost their lives during the civil rights movement. Dees has received numerous honors and awards in conjunction with his work at the center as chief trial counsel. The center's education project, Teaching Tolerance, has provided tolerance material to more than 600,000 educators, and its series of videos to more than 75,000 schools throughout the nation. The first video won an Academy Award for Best Short Documentary. Dees' autobiography, A Season for Justice, was published by Charles Scribner's Sons. Hate on Trial: The Case Against America's Most Dangerous Neo-Nazi was published by Villard Books. His latest book, Gathering Storm: America's Militia Threat, published by Harper Collins, exposes the danger posed by today's domestic terrorist groups.
Dr. Patricia Sullivan
Dr. Patricia Sullivan writes and lectures on race, politics and the civil rights struggles in 20th-century America. She is associate professor of history and African-American studies at the University of South Carolina and a fellow of Harvard University's W.E.B. DuBois Institute. Dr. Sullivan has taught history at the University of Virginia and Harvard University. Since 1995 she, along with Henry Louis Gates Jr. and Waldo E. Martin, has co-directed the annual National Endowment for the Humanities (NEH) Summer Institute for College and University Faculty at Harvard on "Teaching the History of the Southern Civil Rights Movement, 1865 to 1965." Sullivan earned her Ph.D. in history in 1983 from Emory University.
As a graduate student seeking information on the New Deal era campaign for voting rights in the South, Sullivan first met Virginia Durr. It was 1978 and Virginia was living at Pea Level in Wetumpka, Ala. Clifford Durr had died three years earlier. From this research came the book Days of Hope: Race and Democracy in the New Deal Era, published in 1996. The book traces the rise and fall of a loose alliance of blacks and whites, individuals and organizations that came together to offer a radical alternative to southern conservative politics. From this alliance rose the NAACP and the nationwide campaign to abolish the poll tax and register new voters throughout the South in the hopes of electing liberals to Congress who would secure the New Deal's social and economic reforms.
Friends Angus Cameron, Studs Terkel and Jessica Mitford encouraged Virginia to write her autobiography. The idea appealed to her, but she never quite got around to it. Besides, she told Mitford, "My life is in my letters." Later Virginia would suggest that Sullivan edit her letters. Thus Sullivan's next book,Freedom Writer: Virginia Foster Durr, Letters From the Civil Rights Years, was published in 2003 on the 100th anniversary of Virginia's birth. Virginia's letters offer a window onto a society in turmoil, chronicling the events that transformed the South and the nation. She wrote hundreds of letters—humorous, sharp and observant—to her friends up north, among them Eleanor Roosevelt, Lyndon and Lady Bird Johnson, Hugo Black and C. Vann Woodward. Virginia wrote from the front lines of the sit-ins, freedom rides and student protests. Her letters add a distinctive glimpse into the day-to-day battles for racial injustice at a pivotal moment in American history.
Sullivan's other works include Civil Rights in the United Statesand a two-volume encyclopedia, co-edited with Waldo E. Martin. Sullivan currently is writing a history of the NAACP.

Life is Cheap #3: The First Battle Grounds as PvE player
Larisa wrote a wonderful post on how she overcame her phobia of Battlegrounds, How I overcame my phobia about battlegrounds (BGs), and took it from a raving fear of BGs to a calm acceptance and confidence in battle.
I was reminded vividly of my initial fear (and a bit of hatred) of BGs, with maybe the exception of Alterac Valley (AV), which is a bit more like PvE, but filled with "nasty gankers". It opened that part of my brain that holds the memories of 1st time noob experiences, and how I became comfortable with the BGs (one by one, each one held new an unrealistic fear for me). It can be particularly daunting when your 1st PvP experience is at level 70, so I will be writing from that perspective.
I will progress through the BGs, starting not with AV (which I think tends to be a PvPphobiac's 1st battle) but with Arathi Basin (AB), then I will progress through the others.
The tips I will share with you aren't high end PvP tips, rather they are ways of slowly overcoming your fear of BGs, so that by the 3rd time you visit, you will be prepared to run around like a headless maniac (which is what you will become) like the rest of your PuG (Pick-up group) BG team.
OK, starting at the beginning… some general tips.
After clicking on the relevant Battle Master, you will have a short wait until one of two things happen.
- There are enough people in your battlegroup (on both sides) to start the BG, or
- A vacancy becomes available in a BG that has already started.
Hope for 1), but 2) is OK.
Note: If you want to join a BG with one or more mates, you need to do something slightly different.
- Make sure you are in a party (or raid if more than 5 of you).
- The leader of the party/raid is the only one that talks to the Battle Master, and rather than "Joining Battle", they choose the option to join as a group – you will all get joined to the same BG queue.
OK, where I left off. Assuming you happily get option 1) and join a new BG, you will have up to 2 minutes before the BG actually starts.
Now is the time to buff, buff, buff.
Buffing costs no mana before the BG starts, so buff everyone with everything you have got. In the case of a Mage, this means both Arcane Intellect (AI) and Dampen Magic. Everyone, non-mana users as well. Extra buffs take extra dispells from the enemy!
Normal 30 minute AI is fine – It's unlikely that anyone will make it the entire BG without at least one death or dispell, so it isn't worth spending a reagent.
Do create a table – they are appreciated by non-mana and mana users alike.
If you can't see all 10-15-40 raid members, you may need to activate your raid interface of choice (or at least pull out the groups from the default Blizzard interface O – Raid – Drag groups). As a mage, this is mainly important for targeting for buffs, and decursing.
You are in a raid group, right? So to talk to everyone you type /raid (or /ra) <some random comment>, right?
Wrong. BG uses a different channel /battleground (or /bg for short).
1st thing to do is type /bg Hi
Apart from anything else it's nice to break the ice, but there is a different reason for this.
If you can't see yourself chatting, or your text appears mid-screen, you are the leader.
Don't Panic! Ask who wants the leadership and pass it to them (right click on their portrait & choose Promote to Leader)
Checking in with the BG leader.
If (against all belief) someone barks out some orders in BG chat, which include your group heading off somewhere, speak up and say you are new here, and so you would prefer to protect and call inc's (incoming enemies) from the Stable (Alliance – abbreviated as ST) or Farm (Horde, abbreviated as Farm).
Remember that BG chat is filled with abuse (I think there is a random BG abuse generator out there somewhere), it doesn't matter whether you are a veteran or not, some abuse will get thrown your way. So speak up often, and ignore the trash talk always.
Death happens
Death happens to the best of us, the good news is that you will be out of battle for 30 seconds max. When you release, you will be at the spirit healer. Don't leave, stay there. It will have a timer showing you will be resurrected in 0-30 seconds. When you are rezzed, at full health and Mana, head back to battle. In fact Death can be a great way to refill your mana bar.
Strap on your kneepads, the battle is about to start.
30 seconds before the BG starts, a warning will flash on the screen (and in your chat). Now is the time to mount up (if outside, which you will be in AB & Eye of the Storm (EoTS)), and press your face against the barrier while on auto run. (Everyone else is, so why be different?)
The battle for Arathi Basin has begun.
OK, at this point things are the same whether you have been waiting patiently for 2 minutes, or have entered AB to a battle in motion (ie: the less desirable option above).
Note: Buffs now cost mana!
The race is on!
When the gates open, race directly for the 1st landmark (it will be pretty obvious, you have probably spent the last 2 minutes looking at it), Stables (Alliance) or Farm (Horde), find the flag and right click on the golden cog – Yes even if someone else is doing it, it's a good habit to get into.
Now sit tight.
OK, this is where you stay, at least for your 1st BG (or until the flag is taken by overwhelming numbers – I will come back to this).
There is a good chance that everyone else will run off (left to Goldmine – GM, or right to Lumber Mill – LM, or maybe either way to Blacksmith (BS). Reverse this if you are Horde). That's OK, you stay here.
Now type /bg Inc ST (or /bg inc farm), but don't press Enter – position your cursor just before "inc", and wait… patiently.
- Find a nice position to view incoming enemies (At the Stables, I normally stand on the little hill by the lake).
- Don't hide in the building, your job is to observe enemy movements.. if they can't see you, you can't see them… until it's too late.
- Look around – constantly. Move about – constantly (let's make it a little harder for the rogues and druids), but never leave the flag.
Note: Never leave the flag (chant with me), never leave the flag. Don't fight on the roads, behind buildings, anywhere – only at the flag. You must protect the flag even at the cost of your own life.
When you see enemy (in)coming, type the quantity (remember your cursor is just before "inc") and Press Enter. One of the good & nasty (depending on your point of view) things about having this ready, is you can't use your keybound abilities until you press enter… good, because you tell the team you have company, bad if you forget and end up with a long string of 11122424111, so just press enter – enemy quantities or not, at least people know)
Do this AS SOON AS YOU SEE THEM COMING! Not once they arrive. You need to give your team mates time to come and help.
If the enemy turn tail and run, then quickly type /bg ST all clear. That way people can go back on the offensive.
If not, then you have one purpose in life – delay the enemy. Yes a kill is great, but if you are on your own, then play it safe… Delay.
Delaying methods (as a Mage).
- Sheep – It will only last 10 seconds max, and less each time it is cast on the same opponent (diminishing returns), but they aren't capping the flag while getting out of your polymorph.
- Chill effects – Frostbolt, Cone of cold – Slow them down.
- Disorient effects – Dragon's Breath, Blast wave.
- Freeze them – Frost Nova, preferably away from the flag (them, not you)
If the enemy are ignoring you and capping the flag – that enemy just became your No. 1 enemy.
Stop them, or at least interrupt them using instants – Fireblast, Dragon's breath, Ice Lance, Arcane Explosion, Blast wave, even Scorch. Every hit causes pushback on their attempt to cap the flag – and gives your team mates precious time to support you.
If the enemy neutralizes your flag, the flag becomes your next priority.
If you now have backup, capture the flag (sure help your mates to finish off an opponent, but not at the cost of the flag. If you capture it while it is still neutral, it will immediately become yours again. If you wait until the enemy own the flag, then you have to wait a bit for it to become yours.
If you die, run – don't walk, run and recapture (or support whoever is recapturing) the flag.
Rinse & Repeat.
OK, that's it for your 1st battleground, or is it…
Well the objective of you sitting back in a relatively safe place isn't to AFK honor farm. It's so you get the time to get to know the battleground. So while you are guarding the Stables…
- Watch others – How do they fight, which targets do the pick.
- Watch the map – Where do people go, how do they get there, are they successful
- Watch BG chat – see how people are communicating.
Your objective is to mentally record what works, and mentally record what doesn't. Do more of what works, and less of what doesn't.
But my flag got taken!
Not only did it get taken, but it got taken by overwhelming quantities of slathering horde, and they just wont leave!
No worries, this brings us onto what to do in future BGs anyway.. it just came a little sooner than you hoped.
Look on the map, find the next friendly base (or at least a mass of teammates) and skirt the enemy hordes and join in there. Don't get distracted on the road… head to the flag.
Your 2nd and 3rd BG can, and maybe will be more of the same. However, if your confidence is bulding, then assuming someone else is guarding your flag, head on out to the LM or GM.
Lumber Mill is great as a Mage, especially as a new player.
You get a view of most of the BG, so you will be useful no matter what, while you call out enemy positions.
You are in position to protect LM, and quickly get to ST and Farm as required…. and as an added bonus, when the call goes out to take the BS, you can:
Featherfall, Mount, Run & Jump off the cliff (towards the BS mind you). You will land right on top of the action!
Don't believe me? Hey try it, it's worth it just for the fun of it.
OK, enough for today, I will return soon with more BG's for PvE players.
Remeber to have a read of some guides on Arathi Basin, and a good starting point is WoWWiki.
Gnomer and Out!

I know how to add an image to my Gmail signature, but unless I'm mistaken, this image will not be included as an attachment and thus has to be externally hosted. Newer mail clients don't load external images by default, so my company would like everyone to use inline images. For those of us that use Gmail as God intended, in a Chrome browser, and not via Outlook, how can we create a signature that includes an inline image?
You can keep a draft ready with the signature to be used a s template everytime you want to send a mail (time consuming). Wisestamp will also be using External hosted images (feature already in gmail).
Considering all this, using a mail client is the only option if you want to use inline images in signature.
Inline images in signatures should be avoided. It wastes the recipients disk space, and if images are not deleted (most people are too lazy, ignorant or stupid to remove history/quoting) when replying, it eats away disk space and bandwidth at an increasing rate.
You should try WiseStamp.
I know that, when you have an account, you can add image to your signature, but I cannot confirm whether is inline or online.

First Year Experience
First Year Experience
The First Year Experience (FYE) is a comprehensive approach to ensure first year students make a successful transition to college.
Through participation in the First Year Experience, the university has the following primary goals for students:
- Demonstrate the acquisition of skills for academic achievement;
- Be aware of resources and policies, including how to access them and what they are, in order to succeed and use them when appropriate for success;
- Continue building supportive academic, emotional, and social networks;
- Engage in and demonstrate respectful and appropriate interactions within their communities;
- Explore their values, experiences, and beliefs to begin develop a sense of self; and
- Demonstrate a desire and interest in continuing their education.
FYE begins with Summer Orientation and Registration (SOAR). Freshmen will take two FYE courses in their first semester--UNIV 100 and a "Y" section of a general education or introductory course in a specific major. These special courses are limited to freshmen only and offer a small class size of approximately 22 students.
All First Year students are living together in the same environment and going through similar experiences in their first year of college. FYE sessions offered in the residence halls allow first year students to meet, live, and transition into college life together. These sessions are offered at no cost and take place in the residence halls on Mondays and Tuesdays at 7:00 pm.
Did You Know?
"Leatherneck" is also a nickname for a Marine. WIU is the only civilian school allowed to use the Leatherneck nickname for its sports teams.

Let's look for solutions
September 22, 2013
To the editor: This past Monday, in a confounding reversal from previous statements, leaders of our community have came forward and timidly admitted that we have a serious crime issue that needs......
Mr.Jenkins, your letter is 100% spot on.
0 Agrees | 0 Disagrees | Report Abuse »
No more bleeding heart liberalism. treat criminals like criminals. We need Judge Hanging Parker back.
1 Agrees | 0 Disagrees | Report Abuse »
If the people of this valley want to see a decrease in crime we need to elect officials that will "put the screws" to criminals. Probation for breaking and entering should be replaced by 10 years in prison. Drug possession should also bring a heavy penalty. Pretty soon, the criminals will move back to the Chicago ghetto from which they came, and the others will reside in the bootyhouse.
1 Agrees | 0 Disagrees | Report Abuse »
I half agree with the letter. The writer has also made this a partisan issue. The bottom line is that ALL leaders from the top down should open their eyes and SEE that crime is happening in ALL neighborhoods whether directly or indirectly. I don't agree in using the term "innocent people". Even "innocent" people know what's going on around them and they should take responsibility in reporting what's they deem not right in their communities. I keep saying technology can and will protect their identities. This is not about politics and the finger pointing should not be partisan as well. The solution is responsibility by ALL..
1 Agrees | 0 Disagrees | Report Abuse »
Very good letter Daniel and it couldn't be more correct. It is time to stop the political pettiness and do something. Politics is the last thing we need to solve this problem. Elections will get the tight people in office that are concerned with the citizens not their agendas.

7 Terrifying Things They Don't Tell You About Pregnancy
#3. Disfiguring Skin Changes
You've likely heard of "pregnancy glow," a magical aura of awesomeness that surrounds the fertile female.
Less awesome are:
Chloasma ...
Via Skincamouflage.com
skin tags ...
Via WebMD
and PUPPS:
Via Cafemom.com
Let's start the horror show with chloasma, the "mask of pregnancy." Sadly, it's not a fabulous superhero identity: it's dark brown, blotchy patches on the face caused by an increase in melanin, and it happens to 50 to 75 percent of pregnant women. While her face is turning splotchy, her neck, armpits, groin and under-breasts are growing skin tags, which are polyps that look like tiny flaps of skin. So now the mom-to-be looks like the Phantom of the Opera and is covered with little bits of extra skin ... let's throw a rash into the mix!
The most common pregnancy rash is pruritic urticarial papules and plaques of pregnancy, or PUPPS for short. It starts on the belly with red welts that look like hives (the skin kind, not the bee kind) and then spreads like a tiny rebel force over the thighs, breasts, arms and butt. And since her body isn't going to go down without a fight, it itches like hell and looks pretty fucking disgusting. The only good news here is that two of the skin conditions go away once the baby is born and that skin tags can be easily removed, which probably isn't a lot of comfort to the pregnant woman who's looking like an unholy hybrid of Davy Jones, Two-Face and a diaper rash.
Skin changes? I have no idea what you're talking about.
#2. Cheeseburger Crotch
It's hard to imagine combining two things that most men love and getting something horrible out of it.
"How could this not be wonderful?"
All that personmaking involves a lot of blood, which is why the amount of blood in a woman's body increases by up to 50 percent during pregnancy. As the baby gets bigger and heavier, more fluid + weight = external vaginal swelling, or cheeseburger crotch. Why cheeseburger crotch? Because some long-suffering lady realized the excess fluid in her bottom bits made her look like she was shoplifting a cheeseburger in her panties. And just for kicks, the inflammation doesn't have to be equal: one side can be totally normal, while the other can be as puffed up as a Donald Trump press release. It can come and go, too, so one day might be business as usual, and the next ... would you like fries with that burger?
Oh, we forgot to tell you not to read this during lunch.
As an added bonus, if her lady parts turn bright red, purple or blue, she might have varicose veins in her va-jay-jay. And there's not much she can do about it, other than -- you guessed it -- have the baby.
Via Wikipedia
Pictured: varicose veins. We admit that we didn't really look hard for a photo of vaginal ones.
#1. Hairy Nipples
Here's how hair growth normally works: individual hairs grow about half an inch a month for a few years, then they stop growing for a few months like they're in some kind of sleep chamber, then they fall out. Then, if you're lucky, the cycle starts over. So, for most of a lady's life, her hair is 90 percent growing and 10 percent resting.
Um ... sure, that hair will work for our purposes.
Until she gets pregnant. The same hormones that are torturing the rest of her body parts do an insane number on mama's hair growth. Specifically, that little resting phase that hair goes through before falling out is obliterated. There is no resting period during pregnancy -- the hair just keeps growing. And that's why, alongside the obvious knocker-related advantages of pregnancy, thick, luxurious hair is the one thing the ladies have to look forward to. That's the good news. We wish we could just stop there, we really, really do. But if you made it this far, you might as well know the truth: In addition to getting a head full of sexy tresses, pregnant women also find individual hairs in places they don't belong. Like the upper lip, chin, back, belly and, you guessed it, nipples.
Typical pregnancy photo.
And other than the usual hair removal remedies that ladies have been employing since the dawn of time, there is nothing you can do about it. BUT! The bad news doesn't end there! Like every other condition on this list, things are (hopefully) going to return back to normal once the baby is born. Except the hair-growth thing. And not in the way you'd expect. At some point in the weeks and months following the baby's birth, all that that hair was that was growing like a pesticide-resistant weed is going to fall out. In clumps. Maybe not clumps clumps, but definitely enough to clog the shower drain and freak an already hormonal woman the fuck out.

Members of the Triangle Rodeo Club and the Kansas Professional Rodeo Association (KPRA) steered a herd of bucking horses across pastures north of Greensburg and into the Kiowa County Fairgrounds on Friday morning in preparation for the weekend's rodeo.
The exercise, which harkened back to the early days of rodeo was a fast and exhilarating experience for the more than dozen local riders who took part.
"It was quite a bit faster than I thought it was going to be," said Triangle Rodeo Club member, KPRA Vice President and Greensburg resident Mike Greenleaf. "It didn't go exactly as planned, but it was a lot of fun."
The journey from their holding pen along G Street northeast of Greensburg to the fairgrounds just west of north Main Street was predicted to take just under an hour, but took less than 20 minutes.
"They got away from us a couple of times, but they never got completely away," said Greenleaf, who was a member of the riding group along with a number of experienced horse wranglers.
"If they all went the same way every time, they wouldn't need cowboys," added his brother Patrick, also a KPRA officer.
Greenleaf echoed sentiment felt by a growing number of riders that rodeo traditions have been lost amongst a newer generation of contestants.
"Cowboys started the rodeo," he said. "I think in rodeo now that can get lost. The biggest difference in rodeo now is that the contestants are so much better athletes, but we're missing the cowboy part of it. [Driving cattle and horses into town] is how they used to do it, but that tradition's been lost with trucks and vehicles."
Greenleaf also boasted about the success of last weekend's rodeo and is looking forward to the KPRA Finals, which will be held in Greensburg in late August.
"Greensburg beat out two bigger cities to host the finals, Liberal and Phillipsburg. It's a really big deal for Greensburg," he added.

The question may sound stupid but I find it very difficult to understand that why do we have to pay for a domain name if the web is free? And who do I pay? Why do I have to pay for a domain name?
Simplified answer:
You don't actually buy the domain name, you rent it from your registrar. The price you pay them is for the service of routing the domain name to an actual server. Without that service a domain name would lead nowhere, they have to point visitors to the right server. They need servers to do that, which you pay for.
There's a lot more to it that I'm not too sure about myself, but I bet there's someone on where who knows more about it :)
If I go to "http://webmasters.stackexchange.com," how does my browser know how to find the server for "webmasters.stackexchange.com?" It knows through using DNS lookups, which means it needs to ask a DNS server if it knows the address of webmasters.stackexchange.com.
So who owns those DNS servers? Typically, it will be your Internet provider; they aren't personally responsible for knowing the address of every web site across the 'Net.
So who is responsible for telling all DNS servers where web sites live? Domain name registries are. Somebody needs to be an ultimate authority on addresses for domain names; if nobody was, then anybody could pretend their servers go to your domain name. Obviously, managing domain names takes support people, developers to give webmasters the tools for managing domains, servers, and many other things that cost money.
That's why you have to purchase a domain name, so you can claim ownership and pay for the costs of the services provided by the registry. However, there are services, like DynDNS, that let you buy (or use for free in a limited fashion) a sub-domain under a domain name that they own.
The web isn't free. It costs money to make it work, although this cost is spread over various companies etc that run the web servers that serve web pages to the masses.
We buy a domain name so that we own it for a certain amount of time, and we pay the company who we register it with to host it on their name servers. If the domain name isn't on a name server then no one will be able to reach your website. If these companies gave the domain names away for free, how could they afford to run their name servers?
But, this doesn't mean you should go paying over the odds for a domain name. Nominet (the UK registrar agency) charges it's members £5 for a .co.uk. I've worked for a company before (before I knew any better I might add) who would charge customers £25 for a .co.uk. Places like 123-reg.co.uk offer reasonable prices for domains.
The web, unfortunately, mirrors real life. Nothing is free, everything that makes it work costs a certain amount of money to run.
You get a domain name (from a non-technical standpoint) for marketing and usability reasons. You could if you like forgo the domain name and just use the IP address of your server, but no one would remember it and many would be skeptical to visit it.
The domain registrars allow you to convert your address into something brandable, I think of it this way do your offline marketing materials say this is from "123 made up street, example town USA" or do they say this is from "Examples R Us at 123 made up street, example town USA"
Question: Why do we have to pay for a domain name if the web is free.
Answer: Yes. The services; most of them; provided by the world wide web is free. Domain names are the building blocks of the world wide web. They act like 'markers' for websites. They are just names, identities(you can say). They need to be pointed to a server(that actually hosts your data; your website in simple terms).
There are four important aspects here:
1) The Registry: The Registry is an entity that manages TLD(Top level domains like .COM,.NET). The registries need to be accredited by ICANN in order to sell domain names for TLDs or ccTLDs. Verisign is a registry for .COM and .NET domain names.
2) The Registrars: The Registrars tie up with various registries to sell domain names belonging to multiple TLDs, ccTTLDs under one roof. For example: Godaddy is a registrar.
3) The Registrant: The Registrant in this case would be you, that is the person who registers a domain name for a fixed period of time(usually 1-10 years).
4) ICANN: The ICANN is responsible for managing this entire process and acts like a regulatory body.
Now the big question: Who do I pay? *Answer:* When you register a doamin name, you pay a major portion of the domain name registration fee to the registrar(Godaddy for example). A very small portion of this amount is paid to the Registry(for example Verisign). The domain registration cost includes this minor amount.
Why do I have to Pay? Answer: This is similar to any other business that is done in order to earn money. As the Internet started growing, people thought of this system to make money.(just like any other business) -Earlier, websites were accessed using the IP addresses. Read about Hosts.txt file if you want to know more. You can also read about DNS, DNS resolution process.
The simplest answer is because a domain name is not required for the web to function.
We buy the Domain name to display our registered content on the web.

I used ground turkey instead of hamburger. I did use the food processor and my veggies were not mushy. They were perfect, just don't over process. In addition, I added tarragon to this and a touch of cinnamon. I added a half of a bun to the plate to soak up the extra sauce. Will make this again.
Hamburger Buddy
From EatingWell: September/October 2007, EatingWell for a Healthy Heart Cookbook (2008)
Very finely chopping onion, mushrooms and carrots in the food processor is not only fast—it makes the vegetables hard to detect for picky eaters. They also form the base for the sauce of this ground beef skillet supper. Make it a meal: Serve with a green salad.
159 Reviews for Hamburger Buddy
In order to make this kosher, I replaced the sour cream with coconut milk I had on hand. It was delicious! You could probably leave it out altogether by adding a little more broth.
I made this using turkey mince, the pureed veggies seemed to bulk out the meat and create a nice thick sauce. I also added paprika, and tomato paste for a stroganoff style feel. It was very yummy, and the kids LOVED it. I think you could even add some red lentils if you want extra fibre. I didn't add the extra water and therefore didn't need the flour.
I read all these reviews for this dish. I wanted to make it since it seemed like it should be good, but there were so many bad reviews. I made this last night and made all the modifications that were suggested. I did the following:
-Used all broth, no water
-Added a lot more garlic
-Added just a dash of thyme (I'm not a fan anyway)
-Added some red wine after adding the veggies
-Chopped the veggies, didn't use food processor
With these modifications, it was really tasty and flavorful! I used low-sodium broth and didn't need to even salt the dish before eating.
I put the veggies in a food processor per the recipe because I needed to hide them from my kids. For those that complained they became mushy and virtually unnoticeable, that was the whole point. It will be too bland if you don't add additional spices to the ground beef. In addition to the saeasons it called for, I added tumeric, season salt, dried parsley, some spanish spices. At the very end, I added lots of shredded sharp cheddar cheese. 3 teens and 3 per-teens devoured it. None was the wiser that there were veggies included ;)

my other "hesitation" regarding the handheld version of the game is db size. i just LOVE to discover gems ("found" papiss cisse well before newcastle) and would ideally like to load all players from top division of key countries, plus prem AND championship in england.
i KNOW that it's hard to amend the db, shame but i can live with it, what about data updates?
i won't be getting an iphone or ipad, is only android or sony versions i'm considering....
....thanks. don't (ok, sometimes) ask newbie q's for the pc version been playing it well over a decade, but handheld games are completely new to me!

Suicide Prevention Tools for Primary Care Providers
Suicide Prevention Tools for Primary Care Providers
Event Date: Thursday, March 28, 2013 - 1:00pm to 2:00pm EDT
Primary care providers can help prevent suicide as about half or more of those contemplating or succeeding in suicide attempts see their doctor around the time of the event. The SAMHSA-HRSA Center for Integrated Health Solutions and the Suicide Prevention Resource Center are co-sponsoring a webinar to highlight practical primary care strategies from the Suicide Prevention Toolkit for Rural Primary Care. Insights are applicable to many other safety-net providers.
This webcast will provide:
- Information on suicide prevention trainings and resources available for primary care and clinical staff.
- Recommendations for how to implement at least one office protocol and how to access local resources for people at risk of suicide.
- Outcome data on how Community Health Centers trained in suicide prevention improved their knowledge, skills, and competency.
- Lessons from how one Community Health Center implemented suicide prevention protocols in their agency.

Let $(U_i)_{i\in I}$ be an open covering of a topological space $X$.
At http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Nerve_of_an_open_covering, the nerve of the open covering is defined as follows:
the nerve $N$ is the set of finite subsets of $I$ defined as follows:
- the empty set belongs to $N$;
- a finite set $J\subset I$ belongs to $N$ if and only if the intersection of the $U_i$ whose subindices are in $J$ is non-empty.
On the other hand, http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Nerve_(category_theory) states:
If $X$ is a topological space with open cover $U_i$, the nerve of the cover is obtained from the above definitions by replacing the cover with the category obtained by regarding the cover as a partially ordered set with relation that of set inclusion.
Here, "the above definitions" refers to the usual construction of the nerve of a category: A vertex for each object, and a $k$-simplex for each $k$-tuple of composable morphisms.
My question is: Does this categorical construction really yield the previously defined nerve of the open covering?
For instance, cover the inverval by two intersecting invervals non of them containing the other one. Then it seems to me that the first construction yields two vertices connected by an edge, while the second construction yields to bare vertices.
What am i missing?
If the second definition is indeed wrong, what is the right way to obtain the nerve of an open covering as a special case of the nerve of a category?

LittleBigPlanet should be the game to restore you faith. Its difficult to describe properly, which is a good thing, because it means its very different from the norm.
Amazing graphics bring the world of the main character, known as Sackboy, and his fabric-coated pals to life with realistic physics and a stunning level of detail. Played with friends its a great puzzle adventure, as you co-operate and compete across each level.
The games trump card though is its customisation, not just the characters themselves but the whole game. Its extremely easy to create your own levels, and the best fun is had simply setting up areas for mucking around and then sharing them online with other people.

Mixed emotions from NFL players on settlement
(AP) NEW YORK - The hundreds of millions of dollars the NFL is ready to pay former players sounds great, until you stretch it out over 20 years and divide it among thousands of people.
Which is why some former players and others think the league is getting off cheap in its tentative settlement with victims of concussion-related brain injuries.
The deal announced Thursday to settle 4,500 or so claims is awaiting approval by a federal judge in Philadelphia.
"$765 million?" asked former Minnesota Viking Brent Boyd, one of the original plaintiffs in the lawsuit. "The breakdown is $1.2 million over 20 years per team. What is that, a third of the average salary? There is no penalty there. It's pocket change."
Former players union president and Pro Bowl center Kevin Mawae complained that the NFL does not have to admit culpability.
"The unfortunate thing is that the general fan, they see $765 million and they think it's a windfall for the players. It's great for ... the guys that would fall in the category of needing immediate help," Mawae said. "But it's $700 million worth of hush money that they will never have to be accountable for."
Others former players didn't seem as concerned about the amount of money, preferring to focus on the timing of the settlement. They said that getting medical coverage now for their peers _ or themselves _ who suffer from a variety of brain ailments and other health problems is essential.
"Those people who need help now, really need the help the most and need it right now and not five years from now, will get the help," said former fullback Kevin Turner, who suffers from amyotrophic lateral sclerosis, or Lou Gehrig's disease, and was one of the lead plaintiffs. "That is key."
"It is hard to put a dollar figure on ALS or Parkinson's or dementia and all these things. But if you ask me, I think it is fair."
The lawsuits accused the NFL of concealing the long-term dangers of concussions while glorifying spectacular hits on the field.
The settlement calls for payouts of up to $5 million for players suffering from Alzheimer's disease; up to $4 million for those who died of brain injuries known as chronic traumatic encephalopathy, or CTE; and up to $3 million for players suffering from dementia. The NFL will also pay for medical exams and devote $10 million toward medical research.
"Whether I got a dollar or a billion dollars, that wasn't going to help how I was feeling," said former NFL quarterback Bernie Kosar, who has dealt with a number of health issues now that his playing days are over and said the death of former San Diego star Junior Seau "was a real eye-opener for me."
"Whether they get the money or not, I'm not sure that's going to make them feel better," Kosar said.
The payments will hardly be a burden to the 32 NFL teams. The league generates close to $10 billion a year in revenue, and that is certain to rise when new TV contracts are negotiated in the near future.
"I don't care if we get any money," said former linebacker Jay Brophy, who played for the Miami Hurricanes and later for the Miami Dolphins, and has been diagnosed with brain damage. "I'm not begging for anything. All I want is if there's treatment out there, build us some centers, send us to places to help us out because we don't have insurance. That's all I care about. Too many guys I know are suffering and are going through things."
Andrew Zimbalist, a sports economist at Smith College in Northampton, Mass., estimated the settlement will cost the NFL $45 million a year, or 0.4 percent of current revenue.
"The attorneys were under some pressure to deliver a concrete gain for those players suffering from these diseases," Zimbalist said. If not for the settlement, "it's likely the NFL would litigate for many years before any settlement would come."
He added: "It is a positive settlement for the former players, even though it could have been higher."
Or as Hall of Fame linebacker Harry Carson put it, the NFL "has the resources to sort of stretch things out for years and years and years. The players don't have years and years and years."
"When I look at the number of players who have had neurological issues and have passed on," added Carson, who was not a plaintiff, "I think now of the guys who are just starting to experience neurological issues. They are going to be handled more humanely."
It's also a positive public relations move for the NFL just a week before the season kicks off. The last thing the league wanted was for concussions to remain a front-page story while games were being played.
Commissioner Roger Goodell can now point to the settlement and the league's player-safety initiatives as proof that pro football is dealing forcefully with the issue.
"PR-wise, it allows the league and the players association and medical experts and the U.S. Army and Harvard to show how they are coming up with solutions for the future rather than addressing omissions of the past," said Marc Ganis, president of SportsCorp, a Chicago-based sports consulting firm that does business with the league and several teams.
But some former players wonder if their future will be any brighter as they try to deal with brain disease.
Boyd said he foresees a "bureaucratic nightmare of red tape" in attempts to get approved for coverage and then receive treatment. He said he has been diagnosed with early-onset dementia and has signs of Alzheimer's disease.
"When I testified before Congress, I spoke of how the NFL's plan to cover disabilities was to delay, deny, hope they die," Boyd said.
AP National Writer Nancy Armour, Pro Football Writer Arnie Stapleton, and Sports Writers Tom Canavan, Teresa Walker, Tim Reynolds and Steven Wine contributed to this report.

WHEELING - Chris Barton had just exited a players-only meeting when he sat down in the interview room Wednesday night. He spoke softly and his message was clear.
''It's embarrassing,'' Barton said.
In arguably their biggest game of the season, the Wheeling Nailers mustered all of 15 shots.

GUARDING THE GOAL — Wheeling goalie Peter Delmas picks up a save as Elmira's Kevin Harvey falls into the net during the Nailers 2-1 shootout loss to the Jackals.
-- Shawn Rine
In arguably their biggest game of the season, Barton said nobody outside of goaltender Peter Delmas bothered to show up.
The result was a 2-1 shootout loss to the Elmira Jackals at WesBanco Arena. The Nailers (25-23-11 - 61) find themselves eight points back of idle South Carolina with 13 games to play in the fight for the eighth and final Eastern Conference playoff spot.
''There's not much to say ... there was no effort,'' Barton opened. ''It starts with myself.

''I'm a leader in this lockerroom and I didn't have the best effort, either. I don't know what it is, but we've got 13 games left and we can't lay any more eggs.''
The stretch drive continues Friday night in Trenton and continues Saturday at Atlantic Division-leading Reading.
''It wasn't five guys who didn't show up, it was everybody. That can't happen,'' Barton said. ''We've got a nice seven-hour bus trip to figure it out.''
Wheeling dropped its eighth shootout of the season, which is two more than any other ECHL team. The Nailers haven't beaten a goaltender in such situations in their last 16 opportunities, including 13 in a row in the last two appearances.
''We practice it and do it every day,'' Wheeling coach Clark Donatelli said. ''We change (the shooters) up, but when things aren't going right, they don't go right.''
Delmas sparkled again in net, making 37 saves on 38 shots to help Wheeling finish with six of a possible eight points on a four-game homestand. The lone blemish was a controversial goal by Jackals (33-20-7 - 73) forward Kevin Harvey that looked to have been kicked into the net.
''I didn't see it on the film,'' Donatelli said of Harvey's 10th goal of the season, an equalizer at 9:32 of the second period. ''Give the refs credit; it's just too hard of a call to make if he doesn't see it.
''If the linesmen don't see it, there's no instant replay. The NHL has instant replay to make the proper call.''
Both Barton and Donatelli said that wasn't the difference in the outcome, noting among other things the Nailers' effort.
''We can't start our forecheck because of our puck placement,'' Donatelli said. ''We've got one guy going and he's not finishing checks, the next guy is late and they're coming out of the zone.
''They outworked us and beat us to all the loose pucks. They outshot us badly and we had no O-zone time.''
Barton added ''I just think we were getting outworked all night. You're not going to get too many shots when they've got the puck most of the game.''
Wheeling had a good start, taking a 1-0 lead 8:26 in when Max MacKay stole a puck in the offensive zone and fed it to Barton, who netted his 17th of the season. It was the lone puck to get past winning goaltender Maxime Clermont, who stopped 14 shots.
''I kind of shot through a screen before he could see it,'' Barton said.
Delmas kept his club in it with one save after another, but the Nailers were getting nothing in the way of sustained offensive pressure.
''If you have three or four guys (not working) you might be able to hang in there,'' Donatelli said.
''Thank God for Delly, because that was probably our worst game of the year.
''It's hard for a whole team to play bad like that.''
Matt Carter netted the winner. The only shooter on either side to score in the shootout, Carter put one top shelf on Delmas in the third round.
''We've definitely got to look in the mirror. It's each guy,'' Barton said.

WHEELING - The McLure Hotel in downtown Wheeling has been operated under various owners throughout its illustrious history.
It first opened in 1952 and is one of only a few businesses in downtown that existed when West Virginia first came into existence on June 20, 1863.
The hotel has prospered during the good times and weathered the bad and yet, there is still stands, the focal point of lodging in the downtown area.
Now, with the oil and gas boom bringing workers, jobs and an influx of money into the area, the McLure Hotel is poised to capitalize.
And its doing say by listening to a most important voice, it's customers.
The hotel has brought in a new restaurant for the ground floor with somewhat unique hours. But those hours cater to a large section of the McLure's customer base - energy workers.
No less than 75 employees of one energy company have made the McLure their home away from home, even after their daily job site shifted to a location more than an hour way.
Odessa's Breakfast and Catering is that new restaurant that is situated adjacent to Harrigan's Pub in the hotel.
Odessa's will be open Sunday through Tuesday from 2 a.m. until 11 a.m. and Wednesday through Saturday from 6 a.m. until 11 a.m.
The menu is standard breakfast cuisine, with pancakes, waffles, omelettes, French toast and breakfast sandwiches, along with a-la-carte items and drinks.
The is the hours. At a time when most workers, and other hotel patrons, are either leaving extremely early to get to the job site or walking back through the door after a long day and night's work, they are looking for something to eat.
But in those early morning hours, their options are limited. Now they have a choice.
"The decision to bring in Odessa's was a reaction by ownership and management based on the requests of our guests," said Cynthia Johnson, the McLure's general manager. "We're hear what they are saying and we are acting on it."
Another plus is that live music and entertainment will return to Harrigan's Pub starting this Thursday after a half-year hiatus. Taking the stage first will be the Hit Play Band featuring Gregg Molnar and Ezra Hamilton.
Ongoing renovations are continuing inside both the hotel's 173 guest rooms and extended-stay apartments along with amenities for hotel guests to take advantage of.
The McLure offers high-speed internet access in the form of free hotel-wide wi-fi that guests can access. There is a business center, exercise rom and extensive laundry services.
The hotel also houses an 8,000 square-foot ballroom that is perfect for all manners of social and corporate events.
The rooms have been updated with new flatscreen televisions and refrigerators. Some jacuzzi suites are completed while others are under construction.
"While we recognize that a lot of new hotels and motels are under development and have opened in the last few years, the McLure has maintained a very high level of service and that has been very much appreciated by our out-of-town guests," Johnson said. "The ownership of the McLure continues to enhance our guests' experience," Johnson said. "We're making continuous efforts to upgrade."
Another aspect that plays into the charm of the is that no two rooms are the same.
"Our owner, Fran Garey, knows what she wants to do," Johnson said. "She wants to make this place unique and not a cookie-cutter hotel.
"Each room has its own personality."
The McLure Hotel is located at 1200 Market St. in downtown Wheeling and can be found online at www.mclurehotelwheeling.com

SecondLife/Opensim uses Primitives to construct models. How it works in details is explained here.
Now I have many triangles which link together. Is there any way to make them into one prim, thus reducing the number of prims?
No. A "prim" is a primative object, and is the base building blocks for building 3d content.
You cannot combine shapes into a single prim.
However you can use prims efficiently by using clever textures instead of details, or by using fewer larger prims to create your objects.

My understanding is that creatures with shadow can only block or be blocked by creatures with shadow, and creatures with flying can only be blocked by creatures with flying. If I have a creature with shadow and cast a spell that gives it flying (say, Jump), can it now only be blocked by nothing but a creature that also has both those abilities?

In a general sense, you are correct. Both abilities impose a restriction that's tracked individually. A creature must satisfy all the restrictions in order to block your super-evasive attacker.
My one niggle is that there are non-flyers that can block fliers, such as creatures with reach. And there are a few creatures, like Wall of Diffusion, that don't have shadow but have "~ can block creatures with shadow as though ~ had shadow" as an ability, which allows them to block shadow creatures (and non-shadow creatures as well, since they don't actually have shadow).
Here's some comp rules for ya, with this exact example:
Trivia: Stronghold Overseer has both flying and shadow natively. On a 5/5 body to boot!
Yes you need both to fulfill both requirements to be able to block a creature with both shadow and flying. You can fulfill these requirements either by having shadow and flying or through other abilities such as reach.

WHEELING - As family members grow older, planning ahead can save time, money, and emotional distress.
"The key is to start planning early," said Christy Tarr, administrator of the Wheeling Hospital Bishop Hodges Continuous Care Center, regarding aging members of the family. "The earlier the better. The most important thing to remember is pre-plan and avoid crisis time.
"You want to introduce (the option of elder care) while they're healthy and well and in charge of their decision-making. You want to do it in increments"

Christy Tarr, administrator of the Wheeling Hospital Continuous Care Center, suggests early planning to make things easier as families grow older.
According to the National Council on Aging, about 91 percent of older adults have a least one chronic condition, and 73 percent have at least two. Chronic conditions, such as diabetes, arthritis, hypertension, and lung disease, can seriously compromise the quality of life of older adults, often forcing them to give up their independence too soon.
In addition, chronic conditions place a significant financial burden on individuals, families and health care systems. In 2011, this cost totaled nearly $3 trillion for the global economy, studies indicate. It is estimated that 80 percent of all health care spending comes in the final years of life.
The traditional medical model, which focuses more on the illness than the patient, is costly and often ineffective.
Tarr explained the health of the aging family members plays an important part in the planning. Early planning gives the elderly members of the family the opportunity to take part in making the arrangements for themselves. This gives all members of the family more peace of mind.
"The key concerns are financial, emotional needs, and type of care needs," she said. "There are different levels of care. The care, for example, doesn't need to be given at a facility, depending on type and level of care needed. Care may be given in the home, or long term care facility, skilled level care, or assisted living."
She continued, "Along with planning you need to get the education regarding finances. You need to look into the legal documents, what we call advanced directives, and that is a legal document that explains who makes the decisions if you should be unable to do so. So you can see the relevance of starting early and having these discussions. With these discussions you are able to make those decisions and avoid being in the crisis mode."
Advance directives can be done with attorneys but there are other ways, including using social workers. Tarr pointed out every state has different laws governing advanced directives, which need to be followed.
Financially, she said there is a false impression that Medicare will pay for everything. She said that is not true and suggests investigating long-term care insurance if it appears it may be needed.
"People need to consider the risk in making their long-term plans," she said. "A lot depends on what the person's health is and the financial situation. There are a lot of factors. It's all learning to prepare for change. With the planning comes your emotional preparedness. People have to take care of themselves as well as their elderly relatives."

Can't go back playing the MAME versions after this...absolutely cool...Gravitar, Tempest, Asteroids Deluxe and Space Duel, etc. have never looked better...!!
I have managed to get AAE look really close to the real vector monitor... you have to play with the video settings a bit. I can't stress enough how amazing emulator this is... you won't even look at MAME after this... if you play vector games. Look at the brightness... you'll never see this kind of quality with any other emulator.
Here are the settings I use:
And these are the results:
Look at Star Wars dammit... almost exactly like the real thing.....!! Maybe just reduce the beam width a bit.
I wonder how could we get in touch with the author... there's still a few little bugs to beat... and the last update is from years ago.
Biggest annoyance is the lack of mouse support in Star Wars. I'd LOVE to play it on AAE.

I am wondering what other contractors in the field of software development do when a potential client approaches them with a spec.. in terms of contracts. In my experience, clients will often be happy to proceed with no formal agreement. I know this is quite an open ended question, so I will break it down into a series of subquestions that can be actually answered.
If the client does not have a contract for you to sign, do you present a physical contract to them?
If you have such a contract to present to clients, how did you acquire such a thing? Obviously you can pay through the nose to have a lawyer write it, and other obvious answers, but are there other reasonable (cost effective?) solutions to acquiring such a contract?
At what stage, if any, would you require the client to physically sign such a contract? (what if the job is just one day?)
In some cases, the software you are providing to the client is a customized version of an off-the-shelf, open-source, or proprietary in-house software, how does this affect things?
I realise that the best answer is probably "It depends on the client, and other factors..", you don't need to tell me that. But what are your experiences and opinions about 'best practices' in this area? Or to put a programming slant on it, do you have a reliable algorithm for managing the contract side of things, ie keeping both sides happy, most of the time?

I have two phones that are set up with the same google account.
I have a paid app I bought and use on phone 1.
Is it possible for me to use the app on phone 2?
If so, how do I do this? In the market it asks me to buy it again.
So to clarify, you want to use the app simultaneously on two phones? In that case the link pointed to by Dennis might not apply, since that one seems to be for the case when you buy a new phone and stop using the old one.
Edit: Actually it looks like having multiple active devices simultaneously should not be an issue, from this other question: Multiple Android Devices with a single google account

Trojans Knock Off Erskine, 5-4
April 10, 2014
DUE WEST, S.C. – After Erskine grabbed a 2-1 lead following the doubles round, Anderson University men's tennis stormed back in the singles round to earned a narrow 5-4 victory over its archrival Wednesday afternoon at the Erskine Tennis Complex.
The win propels the Trojans to above .500 at 8-7 for the year, while the Flying Fleet drop to 2-15 overall.
In the doubles round, the tandem of sophomore Paul Michael Calhoun and senior Danilo Faria claimed an 8-5 win over Erskine's pair of Andre Andre and Robert Clarke at the No. 2 position. Despite the win, AU was unable to claim another doubles win as freshmen Juan Carracedo and Mateo Rivas fell 8-6 at No. 1, while sophomores Tomas Passalacqua and Inaki Iriberry dropped 9-7 at No. 3.
Anderson answered in the singles round with four wins, including three wins coming at the bottom of the Trojan lineup. Iriberry (No. 5) and Faria (No. 6) both cruised to straight-set wins, as Iriberry knocked off Alan Pearce, 6-1, 6-0, while Faria defeated Robert Clarke 6-0, 6-1.

Is there a way in sqlalchemy to turn off declarative's polymorphic join loading, in a single query? Most of the time it's nice, but I have:
class A(Base) :
discriminator = Column('type', mysql.INTEGER(1), index=True, nullable=False)
__mapper_args__ = { 'polymorphic_on' : discriminator }
id = Column(Integer, primary_key=True)
p = Column(Integer)
class B(A) :
__mapper_args__ = { 'polymorphic_identity' : 0 }
id = Column(Integer, primary_key=True)
x = Column(Integer)
class C(A) :
__mapper_args__ = { 'polymorphic_identity' : 1 }
id = Column(Integer, primary_key=True)
y = Column(String)
I want to make a query such that I get all A.ids for which B.x > 10, if that A is actually a B, or where C.y == 'blah', if that A is actually a C, all ordered by p.
To do it iteratively, I'm starting just with the first part - "get all A.id for which B.x > 10 if that A is actually a B". So I thought I would start with an outer join:
session.query(A.id).outerjoin((B, B.id == A.id)).filter(B.x > 10)
... except there seems to be no way to avoid having that outerjoin((B, B.id == A.id)) clause generate a full join of everything in A to everything in B within a subselect. If B doesn't inherit from A, then that doesn't happen, so I'm thinking it's the polymorphic declarative code generation that does that. Is there a way to turn that off? Or to force the outerjoin to do what I want?
What I want is something like this:
select a.id from A a left outer join B b on b.id == a.id where b.x > 10
but instead I get something like:
select a.id from A a left outer join (select B.id, B.x, A.id from B inner join A on B.id == A.id)
... as an aside, if it's not possible, then is the latter less efficient than the former? Will the sql engine actually perform that inner join, or will it elide it?

The economic downturn has left many people without the money to pay for funeral services that can cost thousands of dollars, and it's falling on cities and states to bury the poor.
The Associated Press interviewed coroners, medical examiners and experts from professional associations across the United States. These experts say while no organization or state tracks the total number of burials for the poor, municipalities are seeing more of them.
Unclaimed bodies are handled differently in every state. In Kentucky, counties have the option of burying the deceased or of getting a court order for cremation.
In Tennessee, unclaimed remains can be donated to a center at the University of Tennessee known as the "Body Farm," where students study decomposition.

Many video games have deep storylines. This has been the case since the early text adventures where creative writing was all that existed to keep a player engaged in the game. I believe that some stories are better served by this interactive medium rather than say a novelization or a movie script and I'd love to give it a try, but without having any contacts in that industry or real experience working in that medium, I was wondering what it takes to get started? Find or start an open source game project? Send some kind of treatment to an established game publisher or developer?
My first advice is -- don't. There's an attitude in the gaming industry that working on games is so cool they shouldn't have to pay you a fair wage. Working conditions in the game industry tend to lag behind other sectors. Salaries for graphic artists and coders in the game industry are about 1/3 of what those same people would make in any other sector, and I suspect it is the same for writers.
If you must get into the game industry, though, find a company with a history of treating its people fairly, and that use an open-source engine under their games. The business argument for a company to use an open-source engine is persuasive, but for you as a writer the biggest difference is in corporate culture and willingness to give you a fair shake.
Once you've figured out who you want to work with, put together a proposal, send it in, and cross your fingers.
Bioware had a contest several years ago to hire a writer. Certainly not an appealing way to go about applying for a job, but that contest did leave behind some potentially useful tips for what sort of writing game companies might be looking for, eg:
Creating a Neverwinter Nights module would definitely be something you could do in order to get a feel for the flow of writing if you want to get involved in writing for RPGs.

Black-box testing is a very useful and necessary form of work in QA. If you can cover all inputs (including wrong ones, error corrected and so on), and get all the outputs correctly, it doesn't really matter what goes on inside for the purpose of certifying the channels.
The basics of QA are testing the product against the spec, and against conditions the spec hasn't thought of. As long as you satisfy that, you don't need the test every level of the machine. It helps to understand how it works, particularly for diagnosing the bugs, but it isn't an absolute must.
In the past when I've tested embedded systems I've used the debug and diagnostic tools the developers have created for their own use. I suggest you have a chat with the developers and see what tools they have and if necessary what tools they could add to help you test the system.
