Medium Womb Chair and Ottoman by Knoll
designed by Eero Saarinen
The Eero Saarinen Womb Chair is a one of a kind piece of modern sculpture...for you to sit on! It's not often you get to bring great art into your home, and less often that you actually get to make it a part of your life. But the Womb Chair is one such item. Using the tenets of his wire-sculpture vision for furniture, and outfitting it with lush, comfortable material that's easy to sink into, this isn't just great art - it's a great chair.
What's to Like:
Everything. The womb imagery is all about comfort and contentment. The sunken part of the chair, the part you actually sit in, seems to envelop you. keeping you comfy. The wire framing of the chair keeps the pads and backing slimmer than normal, and gives the chair a completely unique and unbound shape. While the chair is certainly very modern, it actually fits in with several different types of decor. And it's designed by Eero Saarinen, one of the most renowned sculptors and furniture designers of all time.
What's Not to Like:
To get great art, you do have to pay for it.
Bottom Line:
One of the great luxury chairs ever made, now available for your very own home.
The Womb Chair and Ottoman, designed in 1948 by one of the greatest furniture makers to ever ply his craft, was made especially for Knoll. The owners of Knoll knew that Saarinen could produce a chair of genius, taste, and comfort, and he didn't dissapoint.
The Womb Chair and Ottoman are one-of-a-kind chairs, designed with attention to detail, beauty, and formal and functional excellence. The shape and contour of the Womb Chair was groundbreaking, as was it's attention to comfort at the exclusion of contemporary design cliches.
The main material used in constructing the structure of the chair was fiberglass, a bendable and giving material suited to chairs that hope to welcome their users. With its polished chrome base and a frame upholstered in fabric over a fiberglass shell, the Womb Chair and Ottoman is designed to facilitate a relaxed sitting posture, providing emotional comfort and a sense of security - hence the name "Womb."
The Womb Chair and Ottoman are rightly celebrated designs, and have sold for more than half a century. Upholstered in a variety of colors, the Womb Chair is perfect for any home.
Customer's own material may be used upon approval.

Knoll was well known for utilizing European talent, and many items in their furniture collection were designed by Scandinavians. Eero Saarinen, originally from Finland, would become one of the most renowned designers of the mid-twentieth century. After studying architecture at Yale, Saarinen collaborated with contemporary Charles Eames and designed numerous furniture classics and buildings that would help define American style and aesthetics.
Saarinen's most famous works in the Knoll collection are the Womb Chair and Tulip Chair, but he also designed a series of dining and side tables as well as office-oriented chairs. His architectural achievements include the Gateway Arch in St. Louis and the Dulles Airport in Washington DC.

Hi Evan!
Never give up!
I installed Visual Studio and found out that Visual Web Developer Express was not the problem. After trying all kind of options I found the solution. I use multiple .js files to structure my work and did not add Ext.Direct.addProvider(Ext.app.USER_API); in the first loaded file but in my last loaded (main) .js file. So, now I can use your group router code.
Next problem. When I submit a form, how can I use the funtions / options: isValid, waitTitle, waitMsg, success, and failure?
This is my old way of working... and is not working anymore / yet:
handler:function(){ if(Ext.getCmp('f_login').getForm().isValid()){ Ext.getCmp('f_login').getForm().submit({ waitTitle:'Connecting', waitMsg:'Connect...', success:function(form, action){ r = Ext.util.JSON.decode(action.response.responseText); // ... }, failure:function(form, action){ // ...
Thank you!

Also to Evan: I tried to use the most recent version of Newtonsoft.Json.dll. However, this version is not working. Therefor we have to use your distributed version of Newtonsoft.Json.
Just to inform you in case you didnt know.

Call for examples: dataview, paging, and reader
Hi Evan!
Still going strong? I need some assistance of you...
I have made a lot of progress with extjs and your router code. Now, I want to display data in a panel with a pagingtoolbar. The data must be visualised with a template, as shown like in this extjs dataview example.
I have several questions: Do I need a json store or a reader? How do I connect the store/reader with your .NET Router code? And, how to apply the pagingtoolbar with a total record counter? How to send parameters to fine tune the query?
Unfortunately, your .NET Router example does not include a dataview, paging, or json reader example -and- I'm not that die hard developer as most of you. With some good examples, reading the docs and forum posts I can make big steps (as I did in the past).
Evan, do you want to help me -and others- further with new examples (in the area of dataview, paging, and reader)? An update of your .NET Router will be highly appreciated. It will also save a lot of questions and 'drop outs'.
Awaiting your reply,
Thanks you very much!

Hi Gunmen,
I think I have a solution for your problem with the newest Newtosoft.JSON library. See my post here:

16 Feb 2010 12:28 AM #126
Hi Gunmen,
I took the newest version of Direct (currently it's in version 0.6) and I see your problem.
To solve it do 2 steps:
- modify ResultConverter.cs file (class) by appending serializer parameter on third position.
It should look like in the code snippet below:
internal class ResultConverter : JsonConverter { public override bool CanConvert(Type objectType) { //always return true return true; } public override object ReadJson(JsonReader reader, Type objectType, JsonSerializer serializer) { //no custom reading here throw new NotImplementedException(); } public override void WriteJson(JsonWriter writer, object value, JsonSerializer serializer) { JContainer o = value as JContainer; if (o != null) { writer.WriteRawValue(o.ToString(Formatting.None)); } else { writer.WriteValue(value); } } }
I mean this code snippet:
// ... else { UTF8Encoding encoding = new UTF8Encoding(); string json = encoding.GetString(httpRequest.BinaryRead(httpRequest.TotalBytes)); List<DirectRequest> requests = new List<DirectRequest>(); try { requests = JsonConvert.DeserializeObject<List<DirectRequest>>(json); } catch { } if (requests.Count > 0) { foreach (DirectRequest request in requests) { responses.Add(DirectProcessor.ProcessRequest(provider, request)); } } else { responses.Add(DirectProcessor.ProcessRequest(provider, JsonConvert.DeserializeObject<DirectRequest>(json))); } }
Does it mean that I earned "Works On My Machine" certificate ?
16 Feb 2010 12:42 AM #127
Hi Alek, thanks for your support. I will give this a try. Certificate? I have given you a reputation point.
I also hope that Evan will reply -someday- to keep his work up to date for new and ambitious users.

Hi Gunmen,
please comment/remove such attribute in file DirectResponse.cs to make things working also:

New router is out, the link in the first post has been updated.
1) Added aliasing
2) Added timeout/retries/namespace options
3) Added autoNamespace option, for creating the namespace of your router eg. MyApp.MyRouter. This defaults to true
4) Added several converters to transform data more easily
5) Added the ability to specify custom converters
6) Added the ParseAsJson attribute, which lets you get the method data as either a JObject or JArray.
7) Redid all of the examples
8) Added the new JSON.NET library
9) A few other minor thingsEvan Trimboli

Don't be afraid of the source code!

I updated the previous verion of the 0.6 router to include Spring integration and annotated session support.
Unfortunately this required that I modify the base classes of the ExtDirect to accomplish this.
Now that you have updated the base library I need to execute this integration again, obviously not a good situation to be in.
I have attached my source so that you can take a look at what I have done, in particular in the class DirectProvider I have attached hooks so that I can delegate creation of the DirectActions to the Spring framework, falling through to the original code if the object is not managed by Spring, I have also added session support through annotation similar in nature to the DirectJNgine support on the Java (yes I work on both platforms at the same time).
It would be nice to provide an API / configuration option for ExtDirect such that object lifecycle / creation could be delegated to an external framework (such as Spring) otherwise the default would apply. This way as the ExtDirect framework evolves, any external integrations would not have to re-integrate. (I face a similar problem on the Java side with DirectJNgine and have already posted a similar response to Pagullo update http://www.extjs.com/forum/showthrea...084#post437084 6:53 pm - coincidentally posted yesterday as well).
Please take a look and let me know what you think and how we could potentially proceed in allowing this type of external integration into the base ExtDirect framework.

The crisis coming to an end in 2014 is conditional. The crisis will improve after 2010 because they begin to return to religion, their love for the Prophet Jesus (pbuh) grows, their love for the Prophet Muhammad (may Allah bless him and grant him peace) grows, they become more devout and they oppose Darwinism and materialism. They will see this, too. It is not that everyone will live a life of fun and amusement when the economic crisis halts. There will be an accelaration to return to religion, to the Qur'an, and that is why it will come to an end. Allah has not created this world as a place of fun and entertainment. People come here to serve Allah, for religious training. They come to be devoted to Allah and to love Him deeply. Not to live in rebellion against Allah. The crisis will improve, not spontaneously, but because of this return to faith. They will learn to give thanks to Allah.
(Regarding a poem titled "the Master" read at an iftar dinner by admirers of Fethullah Gulen.) Bediuzzaman's name must be remembered clearly and explicitly. Otherwise, when one says only "Master", people may think that it is referring to Fethullah Gulen. We ask that the name of Bediuzzaman be remembered. We ask that the names of Said Nursi, Abdul-qadir Gilani, Imam Rabbani and the great imams of the schools be remembered.
There were weaknesses in both Turkish democracy and Turkish law. It is clear that this (the constitutional amendment) is an improvement. It is obviously intended to improve the legal situation. Who put this idea in your heads? Why do you not want people to be free? Because violence and oppression lie at the heart of the communist way of doing things. Frightening people. The PKK will evaporate once there is freedom in democracy. They want oppression in order not to evaporate, and they are implementing a despotic regime. Death threats, martyring devout believers, being hard upon the public … They force people to close down their businesses, pressurize the public and use violence. They inflict the worst kind of violence on people.
Allah disliked the movement of opposition to Bediuzzaman in the time of Adnan Menderes, and they suffered Allah's wrath. Keeping such a saint, aged around 70, locked up in the barracks for months on end, forcing him to live there, with a bucket of water and living on dry bread. If you do that, Allah will find it displeasing. And when Allah is displeased, He does what is necessary. People must think long and hard about that, as events all revolve around it. Whomever Allah loves, He makes things easy for. That is a sign of loving Allah. Allah thwarts those whom He does not like, and clouds their inner sight. But they are unaware of it. Allah says, "We destroy them from where they least expect it."
It is very odd to say, "Do not call me a Turk" If we go to Europe now, there are numerous races in their blood. You cannot find anyone pure bred. The important thing is our shared values. The fact is that we are are Muslims. We call Muslims, Turks. We also refer to Christians as Turks. There is no spirit of division. Everyone in Istanbul is from aa different nation. You ask someone where he is from and he says, "Bosnia." What are we to say to that, "Bosniastan"? This is Turkey. I have many Albanian and Bosnian brothers. This is an excellent thing. These things are demagoguery intended to prevent people to say "Yes" in the referendum.
(Our friends who wish to help) Can establish groups of colleagues, use a very sincere language and tell people of the signs leading to faith. In essence and briefly. People will not concentrate for long. Sometimes only for 30 seconds or a minute. Short and gripping evidence is highly important. It is very important to pray, and also to be sincere. Bediuzzaman was alone, but he was very sincere. There were many scholars with Bediuzzaman's knowledge in his day. But Allah did not manifest His title of "al-Hadi" (the Guide) in them. Being an instrument of salvation calls for an entirely different power and ability. In those terms, Bediuzzaman was one of the Mahdi of the Mahdis. He does not deny that. In his books, he says that there have been many Mahdis who have come as instruments of salvation, but the Great Mahdi of the End Times is entirely different, he says. He says that Islam will rule the world in his [Great Mahdi's] time.
(Those who say that the coming of Hazrat Mahdi (pbuh) is a "fantasy.") … will then say that paradise and hell are fantasies, then they will say that Allah is a fantasy and then they will be completely irreligious.
If a Christian is sincere and goes to church, why should he not want Islam to rule the world? If you propose such an excellent life as Islam to a Jew, why should he be uneasy at your having dominion? Allah says he creates us as communities. When Islam will rule, people will look and see a perfect practice, and they will see love and compassion. They love the Prophet Jesus (pbuh) many times more than us, they will say, they love the Prophet Moses (pbuh) many time more than we do, they will say. Christians and Jews will become Muslims. It is important to show things by living by them. But if you tell people superstition, then you will damage the religion in stages.
The Master Bediuzzaman is in favor of facilitation. Facilitation is essential in religion. That is also one feature of Hazrat Mahdi (pbuh). If you make the religion impossible, you are more instrumental in irreligion ruling than the most fanatical atheist could ever be.
Religion is love, compassion, affection, trust, peace and joy, an ensemble of all positive emotions in our brains. For example, what kills love? Selfishness. We look at the Qur'an, and wherever we see selfishness Allah has established a system that will repress it. What kills it? Ignorance. The Qur'an has taken precautions that will eliminate this. If we fully implement the Qur'an, the way ahead of us will be opened up 100%, then we can fully live by love. But if there is thick fog everywhere, then people drown in lovelessness. People wonder why they cannot love or be loved. Because you have surrounded yourself in a suit of armor. You have to get rid of that. And the Qur'an does that.
I am a target for the PKK, for atheist masons, for the alleged Ergenekon Organization, for terror organizations, for Darwinists, for the devil's crew and for hypocrites. Anything can be done to our web site at any time. Our book printing can be halted at any moment. If our brothers take our web sites and install them elsewhere, independent of us, that places them under guarantee. Sometime 100,000 people log onto the site at one time. But if our brothers have their web sites, too, the burden will be spread as people will log onto them, too. Satan is depressed, he has nowhere left to hide. Our brothers can offer support on that. It is important for there to be independent sites. They must open them without sending us messages, and also store the data on hard disk and take it away somewhere.
Satan also used science against Muslims. We said [to the satan], "What are you doing?" and he fled. Science has become a scourge for satan, and he learned it from us.
Who made them say that the Left was finished? Not to watch over social democracy or the poor. I will write a book about that, by Allah's leave. The materialist aspect of the Left has disappeared. The Left has moved to the right.
(On the subject of sending aid to Pakistan) People ease their consciences by saying, "I have given alms." People are surviving on rafts or on mountaintops. They will send one part in a million of what Pakistan needs. Once we have Turkish-Islamic Union, it will be like London or Paris at the very least. Taking Saudi and Kuwaiti money has made people ill. They no longer know where to spend it. Once we have Turkish-Islamic Union the money will go to the right place. Just the money collected by Kuwait would be enough. People are not giving now, but once we have Turkish-Islamic Union, they will, and everyone will be well off. Allah will not create a system that makes things difficult for us. The system of the Mahdi means feast, and rejoicing.
Give good news to the believers that they will receive immense favor from Allah. (Surat al-Ahzab, 47)
The numerical (abjad) value of the phrase "they will receive immense favor from Allah" gives the year 2005.
It is He Who calls down blessing on you, as do His angels, to bring you out of the darkness into the light. He is Most Merciful to the believers.(Surat al-Ahzab, 43)
Mankind is only now emerging from the darkness of the 19th century. Everywhere was pitch black. They carried out the First and Second World Wars and shed rivers of blood. Following that, the communists set the world against itself. The Red Brigades in Italy caused huge disorder and ruined the world. But they retreated right after Darwinism, and materialism weredefeated. We have crippled satan, and he is in no condition to do anything.
He said, 'The power my Lord has granted me is better than that. Just give me a strong helping hand and I will build a solid barrier between you and them. (Surat al-Kahf, 95)
Numerological (abjad) calculation gives the year 1987. It gives once more the date of the system of the Mahdi.
(The report that Obama said the operation in Iraq was finished) The operation in Iraq ended because they realized Hazrat Mahdi (pbuh) would shed no blood. They realized how illogical that was. They realized that Hazrat Mahdi (pbuh) would not appear in such places as Basra, Qufa and or Damascus.
(On the subject of Khaled Meshal's statement asking for Turkey's help to secure the lifting of the maritime blockage in Gaza) They expect everything from Turkey, and that is fine. Turkey's power is evident. They are saying, "You have to lift a weight of 100 tons." In that case they should also say, "I regard you as my leader and you are the leader of the Islamic world." Then see what happens. But complete dependence is essential. Say, "Let Turkey run Palestine." Let Fatah and Hamas withdraw and hand the administration over to Turkey. They must fully submit to us. In that case they must abide by whatever Turkey does. Because Israel and the Jews are our holy responsibility. We will never build a system that oppresses them, nor a system that oppresses Muslims. We have considerable experience when it comes to governing the world.
A flippant mentality cannot restore the economy in 2014. It can only be resolved with a devout mentality. By Allah's leave, you will be spared because you give thanks. There is no other way. Since you are so advanced in science and knowledge, since the economy and the banks are under your control, why cannot you solve the crisis? There are millions of troops, but they are all dead and cannot stir. They must show respect and give thanks to Allah, then it can happen.
Sincerity lies in always heeding our conscience, even if that goes against our own self-interest. For example, I always use my conscience as I speak. I constantly identify which words will sound good and which don't which words are in agreement with the Qur'an and which are not or which are incompatible with the Sunnah. I constantly filter my words and four or five parts of my brain are working away at the same time. It is not easy to use one's conscience.
It is not good to sadden or frighten a person. You can show affection and that will disturb them, or you can be very serious, and that will upset them, too. This all needs to be carefully arranged. One word can have totally unexpected consequences. It is essential to use one's conscience. But if we fully submit to Allah, then He will cause us to speak in the best way, insha'Allah.
The Prophet Jesus (pbuh) tells the disciples: You will always be in difficulties because of me. They will arrest you and drag you before the courts. Do not be excited or prepare what to say beforehand. Surrender to Allah. Allah will cause you to speak. But even though you are fully submitted to Him, Allah still may not cause you to speak. If Allah so pleases, He will not cause you to speak. The Prophet Moses was tongue-tied, and so you might be too. The Qur'an was created before the world existed, and his [the Prophet Moses'] being tongue-tied was written in the Qur'an.
During the cocaine conspiracy they said, "if you don't give these activities up, the result may end in death." I was threatened with death if I attended school during my days at Mimar Sinan. I will only die once. Nobody can kill me. I shall fulfill my destiny. Allah will kill me. Allah has imposed strive (the intellectual struggle) upon us, and I say that nobody can make me go back on that. In 1999, too, they said, "there is as much difference between your living and dying as there is between your feet and the ground." I told them to do whatever it was openly, and not to hide it.
Harunyahya Tv, 1.09.2010
Turkey will not abandon one inch of ground, and we will never permit it to be split up.
Satan does not want Islamic Union. He wants to rule the world. The system of the antichrist does not want Islamic Union, either. What does the movement of the antichrist want? It does not want the Qur'an to reign. It does not want Muslims to be unified. We ask what it will rule with, and it says Darwinism. There are various false religious teachers (hodjas). I will release them, he [satan] says. By using Allah's name, they will say that there will be no Islamic Union and Hazrat Mahdi (pbuh) will not appear, he says. Satan's followers are at work. Some naïve religious scholars are at work, too. They assist satan, knowingly or otherwise.
(Regarding the discovery of Noah's Ark on Mount Agri) Something in the shape of a boat, made out of wood, is found where there is no oxygen, under the ground. There is a section for keeping animals, and a section for people. What interests me is that there are sealed sections… So what is it, then? How could they have built it there? How could they find a 5 thousand-year-old timber and build it there? And it is under the ice. They had to break the ice to get into it.
Bediuzzaman says that it is quite reasonable and certainly inevitable for Hazrat Mahdi (pbuh) to show justice to the whole world.
He is the Knower of the Unseen, and does not divulge His Unseen (secret knowledge treasure) to anyone – except a messenger (prophet) with whom He is well pleased (chosen ones), ... (Surat al-Jinn, 26-27)
This means that Allah imparts the Unseen to the prophets.
Our prophet (may Allah bless him and grant him peace) lists all the signs of the End Times, and these come about, as described, within 30 years. This happens because Allah so chooses.
They know that the Unseen (secret knowledge) is revealed to the prophets, and the the coming of the Prophet Jesus (pbuh), the global dominion of Islam and the Day of Reckoning upset them. Maybe they would be unaware, were it not for secret knowledge like this, but they know it now. Some people act out of ignorance, while some of our brothers insist on pretending not to understand, and I am speaking to them.
People are not happy, because Islam does not reign; 99.99% of people in the world are not happy. This is proof of the truth of the Qur'an. You ask people, "why are you not happy?" and they say, "I don't know." It is not difficult. People will be happy as a natural consequence of Islam ruling the world. Not because of wealth or social security. Allah creates happiness in people,independent of natural causes. People are not happy because they have plenty to eat, or their houses are sturdy, or the justice system works well. Happiness is specially created in people by Allah. They rejoice without reason. Out of love of Allah. Out of fear of Allah. Otherwise, people would never be happy even if they had everything. They would still be miserable. People's minds will be unclouded. It will stem from love of Allah. There will be the fervor of faith in people. A joyous faith is appearing, and from that comes abundance. When Islam reigns Allah will still test people. A person may lose an arm, but he will still rejoice. Time will pass at a normal pace, not fast.
The Day of Reckoning may come at any moment. They imagine that because Bediuzzaman says it will be in 1545, it will definitely happen then. But it can come at any moment. They will realize what I mean when the year 1545 comes.

And for anybody that shows up, Gideon and I will tell you the story about that one time we did a bunch of crazy stuff at this place.
It was BANANAS.
Anything @drchops says is out of context or a lie. Especially the next thing he's saying.
Still not convinced Wootchat's for you? Embrace the mystery! Find out what Gideon's talking about! TONIGHT AT 9!
[14:03] <.Gideon> Okay my work here is done
[14:03] <.Gideon> Now it's off to watch children play softball
[14:03] <.Gideon> that sounds way more creepy than it is I assure you
Wish I could make it this time, but I won't be there. (I'll be there idling but I'll really be driving up to norcal) I'll be back Monday. Have fun without me and I'm leaving @Psaux in charge. Let me know if he goes mad with power so I can yell at him when I get back :P
I don't know why I am shooting at people but I assure you... If I am shooting, they shot at me first :)
@brutherford: you cant prove anything
What is IRC? How does one access it?
I will bring the pickles.
To come to the chat, either point your IRC client to irc.rizon.net and join #deals.woot, or use this handy webchat thingy.
@anorion: Thanks! If I can clear the calendar (and the list of evening chores) I'll try to drop in.
i came in here to say "aw hell naw, not again this guy!" but then i see it's not that guy who trolls '#deals.woot' chat to let everyone know there's a real woot chat already somewhere else.
guess what buddy? no one cares about your old woot chat, this is the REAL DEAL over here. deals.woot whhhaaaattttt
@gideonfrost, you make me giggle XD
No, I didn't know there was an IRC channel.
[has been there a few times...]
Thanks for the invite, but I don't play well with others. :(
I wish this was the 20Q game rather than a chat.
Only wed nights?
@dontwantaname: No there are people there most of the time. Er just try to show up on Wednesday, and of course get more people to show up as well.
@jsimsace: you'd get along with one of our hops.

So I've been trying to evaluate the following integral in Mathematica 8.0 Student version:
opsnum[a_, \[Omega]_] := (c^5*(3*10^25))/\[HBar]*
NIntegrate[\[Rho][y, \[Omega]]/
Hubble[y, \[Omega]]*(1/Hubble[z, \[Omega]])^3, {y,
a, \[Infinity]}, {z, a, y}]
Hubble[z_, \[Omega]_] :=
H0 Sqrt[\[CapitalOmega]M (1 + z)^3 + \[CapitalOmega]\[Gamma] (1 +
z)^4 + \[CapitalOmega]\[CapitalLambda] ((1 +
z)^(3*(1 + \[Omega])))]
\[Chi][a_, \[Omega]_] :=
NIntegrate[c/Hubble[z, \[Omega]], {z, a, \[Infinity]}]
\[Rho][a_, \[Omega]_] := (3*Matter[a, \[Omega]])/(
4 \[Pi]*(\[Chi][a, \[Omega]])^3)
My problem is that this refuses to converge, and gives me an
NIntegrate::inumr error, due to the nested integral nature of the function. Furthermore, I cannot think of another definition for the function as it relies on the cube of an integral which has limits different from the limits of the total integrand, of which it is a part.
Anyone got any ideas? I would be eternally grateful!

In this video, Nobel-Prize-winning economist Milton Friedman examines the modern welfare state and discusses why it doesn't work in the long run. As we're now seeing, the long run appears to be catching up with America.
Friedman outlines in detail — in a lecture at the University of Rochester in 1980 — how the modern welfare state is, in essence, the imposition of the aims and interests of the "elite" over the natural needs and desires of the "ordinary man."
Friedman predicted more than 30 years ago that the welfare states of Europe would eventually collapse, and we are seeing that today.
But the defenders of the welfare state say: Government welfare is the public expression of compassion? How could that be bad? How could such noble objectives by government result in such disappointing results?
Friedman rebuts: Using government to achieve these objectives involves using other people's money, taken by force — and that is a fatal flaw that leads to "fiscal catastrophe." In a sentence: "The badness of means will corrupt the goodness of objectives." You want to be sure to pay attention to the inevitable government "rent-seeking" section at around the halfway mark, though Friedman doesn't use that term. It hadn't yet entered our common lexicon.
In a welfare state, Friedman says, we all lose freedom — and we lose much of it without realizing what we've lost until it's too late. Friedman makes obvious in this brilliant lecture that individual liberty, broad economic freedom, and less government is to be desired if one aims to improve the "national welfare."
The video lasts an hour — and you could hardly spend an hour more valuably. Please leave any of your thoughts on this excellent lecture in the comments below. Sign in via Facebook for easy commenting.

3rd trial of man in children's deaths begins
Jury selection has begun for the third trial of a man accused in the near-beheadings of three young relatives in Baltimore in 2004.
This time, Policarpio Espinoza Perez is being tried separately from his former co-defendant, Adan Canela.
The two were first tried in 2005 in the slayings, which occurred the previous year. The victims were a brother and sister and their cousin, all between the ages of 8 and 10.
The first trial ended in a hung jury. The men were later convicted, but that verdict was thrown out on appeal.
Espinoza and Canela are illegal immigrants from Mexico. Investigators never established a clear motive in the killings, beyond saying they believed a family dispute was behind it.
Espinoza's trial began Monday. Canela will be tried later this year.

On the other hand, companies recruiting (at least FB because that's what they have told me for the upcoming interview) expect you to quickly find the most effecient algorithm in your head first and then code it bug free. I don't know how much creative thinking one can do under pressure but for this question I'm concerned with the second part.
So my question,
How does one before proficient learn "inside workings", idioms and in general become proficient in a language?
If the advice is language specific, I love Python the most so how does become a Pythonista? I want to be able to code without having to look up syntax, know and use idioms wherever apt, follow the standard practices, etc.
Those who suggest practice, practice only makes permanent. Practice reinforces what you already know. So that may work for syntax, but you have other issues like internal workings, idioms, not-as-expected cases, etc.

Separation of concerns helps you to get more positive answers to these questions.
If he/she works in an office, take it as an example, explain the role of each staffs in that office, and ask him, what would happen, if those staffs aren't divided according to their jobs?
Look at a hospital, and think about all of the different roles that are involved in providing care to a patient: triage nurses, doctors, medical assistants, techs, clerical staff, cafeteria, etc.
Is there any one person that knows how all of those people get their jobs done? No, because it would be overwhelming. They have to separate out the different responsibilities into distinct roles and the touchpoints between those roles are very specific.
I would look at how he failed to apply SoC in his code/design and turn that into a real-world example that he can relate with and that is obviously undesired.
For example, if he has a class where the client needs to supply several pieces of information that are not relevant for those clients, then I would use the analogy of a bakery where you have to bring your own grains and yeast if you want to buy a bread.

Bibor et Tribar, mostly drawn by Luc Lafnet (6 October 1938)
Luc Lafnet was a Belgian painter and illustrator, and the regular assistant of his close friend Blanche Dumoulin and her husband Robert Velter on their comic strips. He studied at the Academy of Fine Arts in his birthcity Liège and was active as an etcher and painter of mainly religious scenes in the Montmartre area of Paris since 1923. He also made illustrations for books (by Simenon, among other writers) and children's magazines, for which he used a variety of pseudonyms, such as Lucan and Lafcat for his advertising work, Grim, Jim Black, Lucas O, Rich, Pol or Viset for his erotic work and Davine for his comics.
The latter, Davine, was a pen name that for many years was solely attributed to the illustration work of Blanche Dumoulin for the Dupuis magazines Bonnes Soirées, Le Moustique and Spirou, as well as the publisher's various book collections. It is unlikely that Dumoulin drew for European magazines during the first part of the 1930s, since she was a nanny in Sydney at the time. The artist behind the name Davine had created a variety of characters during this period, such as 'Ric et Rac', 'Guignol' and 'Pantagruel' for Fillette in 1934.
Les Aventures de Zizette, signed Davine
Blanche Dumoulin returned to Europe in 1937 and has acted as an agent for Lafnet from then on, while also doing the writing of his comics and perhaps sharing the Davine pen name on some of her own illustration work. It was however Lafnet's Davine who drew the comic strips 'Bizouk et Pélik' for Le Journal de Bébé in 1936-1938, 'Moustique Reporter' in Le Bon Point in 1937, and most likely also 'Les Aventures de Zizette' in Spirou in 1938-1939.
Lafnet also assisted Velter on the early 'Spirou' comics during 1938-1939, and did most of the artwork for Velter's 'Bibor et Tribar' strip. His contributions can be recognized through his use of caricatural and grotesque side-characters. In the books 'Spirou par Rob-Vel L'Intégrale 1938-1943' and 'La Véritable Histoire de Spirou: 1938-1946', that were published by Dupuis on the occasion of the magazine's 75th anniversary, the possibility was revealed that it was not Rob-Vel but Lafnet who drew the very first 'Spirou' page and that the featured painter was a self-portait. Since Velter himself was busy with his weekly 'Toto' and 'Subito' strips, as well as his translation work, it is well possible that he handed over this "commission" from Dupuis to an assistant. Or maybe Velter only drew the main character while Lafnet did the others?
Was the painter from the very first Spirou page a self-portrait?
Luc Lafnet had to cancel his work on both strips in March 1939 because of illness. It was around the same period that the signature of Davine disappeared from the illustrated text stories that ran in Spirou at the time. Lafnet died in September of that same year. His pen name Davine lived on in the work of Blanche Dumoulin, who co-signed the 'Spirou' comic while her husband was mobilized in 1940.
Bizouk et Pélik, signed Davine (10 March 1938)

My close up vision is starting to go. After about 15 or 20 shots at the range, the sights on my pistols start to blur. I tried putting trijicon noght sights on my Glock, but, that hasn't helped. Today, I wore my reading glasses at the range, and while the sights were as crisp as could be, the target was a blur.
I know that there have to be sights on the market for someone who regularly needs glasses only to read.
Any recommendations?? If so, please post a link if at all possible.

Thanks. Those look interesting. But what about my self defense gun? Are there any sighting systems designed for people who need reading glasses?
Changing your sights will not change how blurry you see them. Instead, you have to change how you see. The adjustable diaphrams work well for range use. For regular use, you will need to find an optometrist or opthalmologist who knows about vision correction for shooters and have them make you a set of glasses corrected for the front sight. Not all of them specialize in this kind of thing, but some are very good at it.
Something else to explore are the new handgun sights that do not use the tradional post/notch setup. Perhaps some of these will be easier to distinguish while slightly blurred.
It is very easy for your eye Dr. to prescribe glasses that focus on your front sight. I have a pair. They are fine for shooting at the range but will not work in my case for driving or general walk around purposes.
Tell him how far past your trigger finger the front sight will be then take a shooting position and let him measure to the desired focal point. Some will let you take your gun in for absolute measurement some will not. Ask ahead of time.
Get a set of reading glasses that are milder (weaker) than you need for reading.
Those should let you focus on the front and still see the target. The target will NOT be crystal clear.

I've been riding a new set of air forks on a hard tail for a couple of weeks and have decided they're a bit too hard without any preload (riding xc). They were pumped to roughly the setting for my weight. A work colleague said there was a way to fine tune them using a cable tie over a number of rides, I can find some MX information but nothing MTB specific. Does anyone have further information on the best way to do this?
I get the idea, but want further detail on such as should I set at the mid range of pre load so I can go softer?

Recovery After Robotic Prostatectomy
Last Modified: January 27, 2009
Dear OncoLink "Ask The Experts,"
My husband is scheduled for robotic prostatectomy soon. How soon afterwards can we expect him to have his strength back? When will he be able to fly, drive or walk a long distance, climb steps, carry groceries, or lift grandchildren?
David I. Lee, MD, Chief of the Division of Urology at Penn Presbyterian Medical Center, responds:
Usually men are ready to get back to work by about 2 to 3 weeks after surgery, if all goes smoothly. If they do really well, then this may be as soon as 1 to 2 weeks. They can fly by 1-2 weeks. They can walk as much as they want (and as they can tolerate) when they get home from the hospital. They may climb steps right away. They can not lift more than 10 lbs for about 3 weeks.

Going to start this challenge
Good job Lanthal. Iroha looks bloody awesome for BSN/BSS. Is he dual nationality?
GreyedOutMan - good to see you survived relegation and glad to help with Tank - hes going to be my best player this season i think.
As someone mentioned the ex prem youth players will often sign for you oct onwards - also check in may time for any that wouldn't sign as i found in previous versions this is when some players would finally cut there losses and sign for you.
He certainly is awesome. I couldn't believe my eyes when he came up in a striker search. My strikers weren't doing the job so I went looking and holy crap what a find! And yes, he is dual nationality.
10 end of season posts now, still awaiting our first promotion. Who will win the race?!
By the way, how awesome is the new "scouting pool" feature? Seriously helps when looking for players!
Last edited by GreyedOutMan; 24-10-2011 at 09:47.
Just had the first batch of youths - none of them really appear very good even though 2 are rated at 4 stars potential. Signed up those who were 2.5 stars and will get rid of the rest, at least i won't have total rubbish hanging around for years now.
As GreyedOutMan says, it feels pretty good to get the job on merit
Not satisfying losing your first two games of the new season though Not sure what to do with my team!
I thought you did it wrong but I guess the way you did it, is perfectly okay
Jesus wept
Turkey just beat England in the European Championships...
In my game, my team is sh**e
Question: season 1, Hitchin played in BSN - now in season 2, they are playing in BSS?
If that continues, does that mean that eventually in PRM (should i get that far) they would play in Germany in season 2? :o
About to start season 2, promotion push!
Hastings Utd - reddevil4ever - Blue Square Bet South - Season 2012-13
Well what a season with us only ensuring staying in the league with 5 games to spare. This was due to losing best def mid for 8 months and right back for 5 months in pre-season, the right back then got injured for another 3 months in training straight after recovering from 1st injury.
It took nearly 25 games before the team gelled and started to play how i want them to, i put this down to the fact of trying out several players in the 2 positions i had injuries in till i found the right ones for the role.
Squad Table Graph Finances Transfers1 Transfers2 Best Player
plan for next season
1) to lower wage spend to keep finances in check by letting players nearing end of contract on high wages leave if not likely to make 1st team
2) improve squad depth by replacing players that leave due to rule above with youth players on low wages that make the grade
3) try to reach playoffs
if anyone wants to follow my progress on twitter @reddevil4ever1
hey im in. im playing margate.

I got 950 rep East Thurrock on my 4th reload and saved the file, if anyone wants to use it?
Managed to secure the BSN championship with two games to go, despite a rather dodgy run of form towards the end. Luckily FC United and Halifax failed to capitalise.
Well done Gypsum. I always enjoy reading about people's exploits in dafuge's challenge, but seeing as the team I support is in the BSS, I can never be bothered. Will be watching though
Loading this up now. Want Hastings United as its my local team, so here come the endless re-loads!!!
start of the season lack of goals problem for me again!
Gypsum is that ur end of season update or is a full one coming?
I'm a tactical genius my fans think
I'm asking because you played a lot of friendlies against bigger clubs and lost every single one of them. Personally I like to use the last couple of friendlies against similar or smaller clubs to give the team a chance to get into the winning mentality.
Although I must admit that it's not working for me this time as results are sketchy at the least, but a part of that may be recruiting too many players at the start of the season and missing out on potential gems who would have been willing to join me later on during the season because I'm at or pretty close to the top of my wage budget.
I've been at this an hour now, trying to get Whitby or any team that is below 1000.
The rarest teams I have come across have been Marine and Cambridge City.
Where is meh sugar daddy?
Well done on promotion Gypsum!
If pre-season friendlies can be used as any kind of measure for how your season will go I think I'm going to be ok this season.
Last season vs L2 Swindon
This season vs L1 Swindon
Anybody got and graphics for the new teams? Badges, Kits, faces etc etc

Hi all, new to this challenge.. can any1 let me know what does the above mean?? still trying to re-load my games for team heheTo sign a player, you must be able to scout them, this doesn't mean you have to, just he must be accessible to your scouts. If you have a foreign player on a free transfer who is willing to come on trial, you do not need to be able to scout them, as long as you have them at the club on trial so you can get a coach report on him. If an agent offers you a player, you can sign him without scouting him.
Chesham - Blue Square South - 2013/14
League Table
Finances - 145k gate receipts and 25k bonus from the FAT run really helped us. Only ran 70k into debt this season. "only"
We didn't do too badly. Really need to show some form though and the FAT run really hurt us with fixture congestion towards the end of the season, otherwise I could have seen us 8-9th easily. Next season will be interesting.
Haha this was amazing this season. We really struggled against Forest Green and only snuck away with it at the last second, but I think Eastwood played their B team in the first round of the Semi. We scored 3 goals in the first 20 and I parked the bus.
The final was a bit daunting and we were in front of over 22 thousand people at Wembley, against a team from a higher division who were doing well. The boys didn't flinch though and took it to the big kids giving them a run for their money. Dover had all the posession but couldn't put us away. Nichols was taking great shots and barely missing leading to some fingernail biting from the coach.
In extra time, Kris Bright took the game for them easily, scoring two quick goals in the space of five minutes and dashing our hopes. My dreams of a Brisbane Roar-esque Grand Final Miracle were not to be however and they took the trophy, but the team had a great experience. We want to be back next year to fight again.
We did well to get to the 4th qual round, but the replays hurt us
Squad - Getting better but still average. Lack consistency and depth. Leaky defence is still an issue
Key Player Profiles
Aaron Mulligan - Another Irish gem who keeps my backfield in check. Hecker and Mulligan are the only rocks in a very shaky back 4 at the moment and saved many a goal this season.
Jack Lyons - Fantastic striker I picked up. Not the greatest stats, but does well for this level.
Player of the Season
Paul Hecker - This kid is amazing. He has just turned 18 and is easily the best player in my squad. His physical attributes are fantastic for this level and with some good training, his skill will develop over time.
Up and Comers
Marcus Stephens - Playing well in the kids team and showing some good stats for a 16 year old. Will be one to watch as he develops.
Transfers - reshaped the team again and following form I picked a lot of bad apples as well as good ones. Hecker and Seidi were the two gems, with Cox and Hope ones to look out for in the future.

I was running a 3-2-2-3 which i usually use in other games with a slow passing game. It needs players with better skills to really be able to work though. About halfway through this season I changed back to a bog standard 442 and its done wonders. Simple football does well at this level

Gypsum's Worksop Town - Blue square North - 2012/13
League position: 1st / Position chart - After my squad gelled we enjoyed a great run of form. We hit the rocks late on as injuries mounted and our defence crumbled, but we still held on to finish 10 points clear.
General squad info;
Star players:
1- Liam Reffin - A solid defender and a great addition for attacking corners.
2- Victor Zapata-Caicedo - Ex-Spurs striker, good speed and ability for this level.
3- Sam Duncum - A bit of a surprise performer from the original Worksop squad. Bagged 17 goals as a wide striker.
Top scorer: Luke Beckett (22 goals) - Another of the original Worksop squad, a solid striker at this level, although a touch slow for my tactics.
Notable mentions: Colin Patrick O'Brien - Signed on a free from Irish club Rockmount in the January transfer window (earning my scout a contract extension!), should be a good player in the BSP.
Other information: A new 6255 capacity stadium has been announced after only one season! A bit of a surprise after the long wait on previous FMs.

How did you do it? Im really struggling with Worksop
Chester - season 2013/14
Well we had a mixed season, resulting in securing a play-off place on the last day of the season, only to be beaten in the semi-final
Final Table
Once again our cup runs didn't last long, knocked out in the 2nd qualifying round of the FA Cup and the 1st Round of the FA Trophy
Back for the challenge after success with Whitby 07, Heybridge Swifts 08 and Horsham 10, maybe local side Bedford can come up, then its only a 10 minute drive to work.........off to holiday world now. Looking forward to catching up with some old friends and making some new ones too. Dafuge its good to be back!
On this months board confidence the fans were concerned that the football played has been less than exciting. Last 5 results 1-1, 0-1, 2-1, 2-3, 2-1.
2nd and last results at home, just no pleasing some people.
GreyedOutMan - I have to ask. I saw your post where you'd lost 14 games or so on the trot. I noticed that you'd played 10 friendlies; what's up with that? I get bored after 4/5 and have to start the season.
Margate FC - Blue Square South - Season 1 - 2012/13
Blue Square South - 8th - Fixtures 1 - Fixtures 2
FA Cup - 4th Qualifying Round
FA Trophy - 3rd Round
A good solid season sees us finish in 8th place, although we bounced between 7th and 13th all season. We generally struggled to find any sort of consistent form, not helped by the poor quality of the rightbacks, right wings and the lack of depth in the centerback. The end of the season was very welcome, especially this news. We're actually groundsharing in a stadium that is larger than our stadium :confused: .
The FA Cup was disappointing. Let's not go there.
We had a little run in the FA trophy, ended abruptly by Havant and Waterlooville.
Mainly young centerbacks and a few strikers.
Key Players
Kwesi Appiah - Our top scorer, and absolutely vital for us. Bit of a scare when he wouldn't sign a new contract, but it got sorted and now will be needed to help push up the table next season
Jon Honey - Started slowly but has grown into a solid centerback who will also be necessary next season
Matt Bodkin - A brilliant player for us, who managed to break his leg halfway through the season. Let's hope he comes back to full form.
Next Season
A couple of centerbacks, a solid rightback and a new right winger are on the agenda, for what could hopefully be a successful second season. the squads a year older and more experienced, so let's hope next season will be a good'un.

A note about the LEADERBOARD. As there's masses of info on it, it's best viewed with the page zoomed to 90% - this way you can see all the information on one line per player.
Also, if anyone feels like checking my figures from time to time I would appreciate it. I do it quite a lot to make sure I have all the updates in the right place but it takes quite a while so if anyone can let me know whenever they get a chance that all the numbers add up and I havent missed any updates from before the last post I used, that would be good. Obviously, if there are more posts after the last update on the bottom of the table, that's just because I havent got round to doing that yet!
Damn, I reached the 2nd round of the FA Cup and after holding Salisbury to a tie I had a rematch at my stadium. I was 0-1 down and the clock was ticking, then my local super talent, Eddie Cook came up with this beauty! Sadly, we lost on pens in the end.
Evening all. I've just got home from work and loaded up FM and to my horror I have no save game data!! I was in Feb and sitting comfortably in 2nd place. My Step-Brother has admitted that he was trying to have a go and he seems to have deleted my save! So here I am having to holiday again! Unbelieveable
End of Jan update - 2012/13
League Table
Pretty solid start, but frustratingly inconsistent. Have looked excellent at times and very poor at others, but given I'm trying to play a fluid, passing style of football it's not surprising. Have had a few chances to jump into the playoff spots without success, but I'm staying around about. On FM11 I used to slump in February every season without fail, so will be interesting to see if I can stay in playoff contention down the stretch. A healthy goal difference is a positive.
My star man has been Alex Rhodes. I don't know if anyone remembers him from his Brentford days but he used to be a lethal lower league player back in FM06 and FM07. His attributes are pretty average now but he's been banging them in from everywhere, playing mainly off a left wing.

Bedford Town have today officially annouced rookie manager Grace to take over their first season back in the BSN. Grace was said to be in talks with a number of more high profile clubs including Chester and FC Utd but chose his local team so he could stay at home and walk the dog when needed. Others in consideration included Lowestoft, Lewes and Tooting and Mitcham so Grace has undertaken the hardest challenge of the 6 promoted sides.

A great first season where we managed to finish just outside the playoffs. While being a great season it was also very hard at the end where we missed out on the last playoff space when we blew it at home to mid-table Boreham Wood who pretty much turned us over.
We scored and conceded a stupid amount of goals despite having players capable of defending much better but that's something I'll address going into next season by getting a new keeper and two full backs, maybe even a centre back.
Finances are poor after a lousy cup run but that's to be expected at this stage.
All in all it's been a very good season. Looking forward to pushing for promotion next season.
Really unlucky BVV...

Finances Not good. About 100k in debt and now have a loan fee to pay off...
...why? Because of this!
Star Players:
Inih Effiong Top scorer, had a drought near the end but got back on track again.
Kyle Asante Loanee from AFC Wimbledon, started badly but then started scoring. His contract runs out in the summer so I am hoping to pick him up.
Also, doesn't look good for my favourite team.
Next Season
With a nice promotion in the first season, I am hoping to establish myself as a Conference side and possibly push for a playoff spot. A cup run would be nice too!
Jnrsnes - How big is the new stadium?
Happy with the pre-season. We are hard to break down and try to strike on the counter.
Here's hoping it'll actually work against tougher league opposition.
had a good run but now struggling again, I think I need to release some fringe players to get a decent wage budget for a decent signing
Worksop 2012/13
FA Cup - 4th QRd
FA Trophy - 3rd QRd replay
Started the league indifferently but soon got a good run going to get upto 5th after halfway. A very poor run after xmas left me in midtable where i pretty much sat for the rest of the season. Only 9 clean sheets in total and 3 after xmas showed where the main problems lay.
No real progress in the cups.
My best player was Tank, when he was missing the other defenders performances stunk the place out, when he was there they played much better.
Beckett did well at the start of the season as did Martins in parts but my best striker was Lyons who took 10 games to get off the mark but found the target consistantly until the last ten games when he was dire in most matches.

Movies start, but a few times per movie, returns an error: "An error occurred while loading this content". It will allow me to start it again, but it's really frustrating. Internet connection seems solid enough- movies in hd start almost instantly, and nothing else on the network hiccups when it occurs.

Let L be a 2-dimensional lattice and P- a lattice polygon. Suppose, it is triangulated into lattice tiangles. What are restrictions on their areas? For instance, can a lattice triangle of even area always be divided into lattice triangles of area 1? Is there any general approach to such questions?
By Pick's Theorem, the area of a lattice polytope is related to the number $i$ of lattice points in the interior and the number $b$ of lattice points on the boundary, according to the formula:
$$A = i + \frac{b}{2} - 1$$
Note that if $b$ is odd, then the area must be equivalent to $1/2$ mod $1$. This implies that any lattice triangle with integral area has at least one non-vertex point located on an edge. That extra point can be used to subdivide the triangle into two smaller lattice triangles.
Concerning the splitting of even area triangles into triangles of area 1, I don't know any general results.
Hope this helps!
This is not my own formula: A = 2i + b - 1 when the area of one triangle is 1. I haven't tested this, but I think it works on any triangular grid (not just equilateral). I did test A=sqrt(3)*(i+b/2-1)/2 on an equilateral triangle grid. This works because each square can be mapped to a parallelogram comprised of 2 equilateral triangles, and the area of the parallelogram is sqrt(3)/2.
I tested A = 2i + b - 2 for any triangular lattice where A = 1 for each triangle, and it works. Geometer's Sketchpad implements it very nicely, but it would work in GeoGebra too.

Does somebody know if Mathematica can be used to calculate the growth of functions, that is in Big O, Theta, and Omega and find proper $n_{0}$ and $c_{1}$, $c_{2}$ respectively?
Yes, Mathematica can be used to characterize the asymptotic behaviour of functions, but maybe not in the straightforward way you intended. Let's see a few examples (I'll focus on asymptotic behaviour as $x\rightarrow\infty$, but behaviour around any other point works the same) of what we can do by looking at limits (using the
How to check if $f(x) \in o(g(x))$, or $g(x) \in \omega(f(x))$
There, the question we can ask Mathematica is: what is the limit of $f(x)/g(x)$:
How to check if $f(x) \in O(g(x))$
$f(x) \in O(g(x))$ means that, for large enough $x$, $\left\vert f(x)/g(x)\right\vert$ is bounded. So, our options are as such:
The fine print: in many examples above, I calculate $f/g$ instead of $|f/g|$ because I know that the functions both have positive values. Also, if $g(x)$ takes zero as a value in more than a finite number of points, you need to be a little bit more careful than just calculating $f/g$.
Here's a function
It might give wrong answers for complex expressions, so check the result with F'x's answer.

Issue Date:
February, 2011
The February issue of InfoTech & Telecom News leads with a report on how the new Republican majority in Congress may change the terms of the network neutrality debate. Speaker of the House John Boehner (R-OH) noted, "Federal bureaucrats should not be in the business of regulating the Internet, and the new House majority will work to reverse this unnecessary and harmful federal government power-grab."
Also in this issue:
- Industry analysts say the FCC doesn't understand the benefits of the vertical integration business model as evidenced by its objections to the NBCU-Comcast merger.
- A U.S. District Court in Pennsylvania has ruled a telecommunications company may sue a town for refusing to issue a zoning variance for a new cell tower.
- Fred Upton (R-MI), a staunch network neutrality opponent, is the new head of the House committee overseeing the FCC.
- Illinois is preparing to impose a job-killing "Amazon tax" even though studies show two other states got no revenue from them.

This is a face that I grew up with so when I drew him, I was flooded with fond memories of that took me back in time when I used to play Donkey Kong with my brother. Ever since I drew this big headed ape I get flash backs of playing the Donkey Kong game whenever I see a banana. This lesson is going to be super simple, and very exciting. It's probably one of my favorites tutorials that I will put up today. I will shut up now so you folks can get busy with drawing Donkey Kong easy. I shall return momentarily with a butt load of more drawing fun so stay tuned in or come back in a few. Peace out people and remember not to eat too many bananas.

What Do You Store in Your Core?
When I was an 18-year-old yogini, I was also an active bulimic. I was in college studying dance, training to be a shiatsu therapist (Japanese pressure point massage), making sandwiches and slicing salami at Jimmy John's Deli, racing around Chicago learning yoga, and using food to self-medicate.
During that time, I remember never feeling connected to my core, my abdominal muscles. My Pilates teacher was always giving me corrections that I could not embody. In dance class, I was never able to find balance in my turns or jumps, and I would often duck out of class in frustration. Then I would become even angrier with myself because I was a quitter! This would inevitably lead to a binge and purge.

I am writing my thesis using LaTeX and it actually is the first time I use it. I am using some templates from my university but they are in Spanish and I want to write my work in English.
The reason of this message is that I am getting crazy with the indexes and the bibliography because, although I want the title of these chapters to be in English, they are written in Spanish. Of course I have tried to find out where the mistake is and even found some information on the Internet but it is not working out.
This is how I am managing the indexes:
\addcontentsline{toc}{chapter}{List of figures}
\newpage \thispagestyle{empty}
\addcontentsline{toc}{chapter}{List of tables}

But instead of List of figures/tables, the Spanish translation appears in the pdf.
On the other hand, this is how I managed the references:

Unusual Presidential Names
Name Dropping
Don't forget vice presidential names on your search. Ones to keep in mind include: Schuyler, Garret, and Nelson.
Although many U.S. presidents bore names that seem to be the hallmarks of tradition, there were others that weren't quite the average Tom, Dick, or Harry. They may be on the unusual side, but are interesting names for parents on the search for something out of the ordinary.
Boys' Names:
- Chester: Chester A. Arthur's given name means "soldier's camp." He was the 26th person to hold the title of president.
- Grover: Twenty-fourth President Grover Cleveland had a place name as a given name as well: Grover means "grove of trees."
- Martin: This "warlike" first name (it derives from Mars, the Roman god of war), belonged to President Martin Van Buren, the eighth president.
- Ulysses: Ulysses S. Grant was a Civil War hero and his name is a fitting one for a warrior. Ulysses is a variant of the Latin Odysseus, which is thought to mean "wrathful." He was the 18th man to hold office.
Girls' Names:
- Alice: This old-fashioned German name, which means "noble" or "nobility," was the given name of Teddy Roosevelt's wife. It's a good choice for anyone tired of the currently popular names that are similar, like Alicia or Alyssa.
- Dorothea: This was the actual given name of Dolly Madison. It, like Dorothy, means "gift of God."
- Eleanor: This beautiful name was actually Eleanor Roosevelt's middle name—her first name was Anna. It's thought to be a form of Helen.
- Helen: This Greek name, which means "light," was the given name of President William H. Taft's wife.
- Julia: This feminine form of Julius means "youthful." It was the given name of President John Tyler's second wife.
- Letitia: The name of President Tyler's first wife, it means "joy" or "gladness."
- Louisa: A form of Louise, which means "renowned in battle." Louisa Catherine Johnson Adams was the wife of John Quincy Adams.
- Rosalynn: This very American name—it exemplifies the fashion of combining names that is considered to be unique to this country—takes its shape from Rose and Lynn, or could be considered a modern variant of Rosalind ("pretty rose"). Rosalynn Carter (whose first name is actually Eleanor) is former President Jimmy Carter's very down-to-earth, practical wife.

If i start my career with one martial art and become mature in that, will that particular martial art become my expertise and will other martial arts always be secondary like a native language and second language?
"Wide or deep"? is a classical question in a lot of different domains, and I think the answer depends largely on what your goals are and how you define "expert." You will generally have some set of base techniques–usually but not always from a single style–that you will learn to instinctively fall back on under times of stress, but this doesn't preclude becoming an "expert" in a wide variety of other techniques.
So first ask yourself, "what is my goal"?
Is your goal…
The short answer to your question is that it is absolutely possible to become an expert (depending, again, on how expert is defined) in more than one martial art, but your time is not infinite. So if you have 5 hours a week to spend on martial arts, which will be a more efficient way to reach your goals, to spend 5 hours in one martial art, or 1 hour in five?
When you've been practicing one art for five years and decide to add another one, if you still have 5 hours a week, do you allocate 3 hours a week to the new art and 2 to your old one? How will that impact your training?
Unless your goal specifically requires cross-training–and sometimes even then–I generally would recommend reaching some stable state in one martial art (whether that is an "expert" is up for debate), and then deciding if you want to add another one, why, and how much time you are willing to devote to the matter.
Yes, it is possible to become an expert in different martial arts.
The first thing to realize is that all martial arts are, are different ways of moving your body. Some martial arts have overlap in their methodologies - and where that happens, it's easy to learn these arts and become good at them without too much extra effort - the baseline skills and ability for one, is also very solid for the other.
The second thing is that not all skills require the same amount of maintenance. You can get on a bike after not biking for years, and you can ride fairly competently, and the only thing you may have lost is your endurance. In that regard, you may have skills for some arts that aren't hard to keep up, even though you haven't used them much. (I just spent last year bedridden receiving chemotherapy, this year, once I got my general sense of balance back, my coordination to my silat style came back almost instantly.)
Now, all that said, some things are just going to be easier for you to learn and hold onto - that may have to do with what "clicks" for you, and some of that may have to do with your body mechanics and proportions.
Oftentimes I find people who are good at multiple martial arts are good at specific ones because it clicks just so, and you put them into an art that is very different in methodology and they might have a hard time getting it.
So - yes you can learn many arts, some you will be quite proficient in without too much difference in them, and some you will find hard to learn or maintain. It really depends on luck of the draw and your own training.
The Samurai were advised to master seven different martial arts. I don't expect to master even one in my lifetime. I've been studying Aikdio for 20 years or so now and Tai Chi for one. I've also studied Shindo muso ryo jodo and mugairyu (both for far too short a time). I'd like to study Bagua.
I'm not sure that I'm comfortable with the assumptions underpinning the question. I'm not comfortable with the notion that "mastery" is objectively observable. (We could discuss the criteria for Shihan, but that would be a discussion outside the scope of SE). I'm not comfortable with the analogy with language - there are plenty of people who are fully conversant in their second language, or their third or their ninth.
Below it all I'm uncomfortable with the goal of "mastery". If you study martial arts to be a master, then go to a black belt factory and lay down the money. If you study martial arts to learn, then learn from each teacher as far as they can take you.
IMHO, it's not only possible, it's advisable.
Here is the reason: martial arts (in general) are divided into Hard and Soft
A hard technique meets force with force; either with a head-on-force blocking technique, or by diagonally cutting the strike with (one's) force. It is an example of the defender using the attacker's force and momentum against him or her. Although hard techniques require greater strength for successful execution, it is the mechanics of the technique that accomplish the defense.
The goal of the soft technique is turning the attacker's force to his or her disadvantage, with the defender exerting minimal force. With a soft technique, the defender uses the attacker's force and momentum against him or her Here are some examples:
Hard Styles:
Soft styles:
the biggest asset in hard style is force and conditioning
the biggest asset in soft style is technique
I would add one more gradation: semi-hard styles (Wing Chun); the biggest asset there is speed.
Now the fun begins: as far as I know,
all that looks pretty much like Rock-paper-scissors game!
So, in order to be successful, you should have in your toolbox at least 2 instruments out of 3 - having those you will be able to switch between them and properly adjust to the style of your opponent.
Disclaimer: I am aware that a single style may contain all 3 elements (hard/soft/semihard), so you are able to fill your toolbox without going outside of the style; however, I believe that style, specializing in one of these areas, still might give you more
