The act of a woman/man dropping their dingleberries in an empty bowl. A lactating woman must then squeeze her milk into the bowl for the man/woman to consume. Best served WITHOUT a spoon, almost like bobbing for apples.
I heard Steve's girlfriend served him a mean bowl of cocoa puffs the morning after prom.

Can you be buried in a Jewish Cemetery if you have a tattoo? I.e., is it just urban legend that you can't?
Sign up

In short, the answer is yes. While getting a tattoo is forbidden, once one has one there is no law that he/she cannot be buried in a Jewish cemetery.
However, every Jewish burial society has the right to enact their own rules...
Gesher Hachayim, volume 1, chapter 25, paragraphs 1–2 says:
I doubt any chevra kadisha now would refuse to deal with someone for being tattooed. (But see comments on the answer.)
This is a very old (and can also be a very hurtful) Jewish urban legend. See this New York Times article where the author tried to determine the origins of this legend. Why it's gained so much currency in the modern age is beyond me. Frankly the chabad.org article quoted elsewhere, while factually correct, emphasizes the wrong things. The bottom line is that this is an urban legend with no basis in halacha.
People who violate the Torah have the same burial rights as others unless they are continuous violators who have refused to do Teshuva even on their death bed. (Shach YD 345:5 and Shulchan Aruch/Rema 340:5)
So the question may be: Is a person in continuous violation for having a tattoo, or only for putting one on? Also in play, can the tattoo be easily removed? How do we determine teshuva?
Also see: What's the truth about...
I heard that, in Israel, they laser off the tattoo post-mortem.

I have following two questions
1) Let $S$ be a compact oriented surface with (non-empty) boundary. Also assume that the Euler characteristic of $S$ is negative (Thus, $S$ is not disk or annulus). Then is it possible to put a hyperbolic metric on $S$ such that every boundary component becomes a geodesic?
2) In above case, what is the universal cover? Is it a subset of the unit disk with hyperbolic metric?

TOPEKA, Kan. (WIBW) -- The Combat Infantryman Badge is only awarded to U.S. Army Service men and women who have personally fought in active ground combat. In the 11th hour, on the 11th day, of the 11th month, a monument was dedicated to those honored with that very badge.
Kathy Smith wishes her husband had lived to see the combat infantryman monument dedicated at 10th and Gage.
"My husband Gordon was a Vietnam Vet; he died of complications of agent orange in September," said Smith.
Still, the pride of his family lives.
"Very proud, proud of my dad. He fought like so many veterans did. It's very overwhelming. I'm proud that all he wanted to do was serve his country. He's a good man like so many people here," said Jessa Smith.
"This is all about men. It's about going into battle. Blood, sweat, and tears. And in some cases, it's about dying. They earned this badge," said Col. Michael Neer.
"What an impressive medal it is and how prestigious. And how hard he had to work to get one," continued Kathy Smith.
Vietnam Nam, WWII, current conflict, and Korean War vets were present, including 87 year old, WWII veteran, Charles Hamm -- Who was wearing the same uniform he sported during the war. His escort, a Holton High student, copied the look.
"I'm with a youth of today to help carry on the story of WWII," said Hamm.
A story this site will help to carry on.
It was the last military appearance for Col. John Davidson who describes the combat infantryman badge as "dedicated for those individuals who were in the wrong place at the right time."

After completing the Dawnguard storyline in favor of the vampire hunters, I was able to give the 2 scrolls (sun and blood) to Dexion, however the dragon scroll remains in my inventory. Is there some special use for it? i've checked with Urag gro-Shub and he will not take it. Note that this is after I've completed the main questline.
If playing on the PC, install or update the Unofficial Dawnguard Patch (UDGP) to the latest version.
v1.2.3 (2013-06-29) of the UDGP should have fixed that bug:
Get arrested and escape then grab everything but the scrolls.
The Dragon Elder Scroll is used as part of the main quest. Paarthunax will tell you to go retrieve it if you haven't done the dawnguard quest that makes you get it. I imagine it won't let you sell it so that you will have it on hand when you get to that point in the main quest. (Note: By "the main quest" I mean fighting Alduin)
If you chose the Dawnguard side of the quest.Dexion Evicus will take all three elder scrolls off your hands for 6000 gold and take them to the imperial city, i'm not sure what to do if you chose the vampires side though.

There are 2 opinions.
In some cases I've heard that God reward anyone that obey Torah.
Also, I think I read somewhere in exodus that anyone living in Israel, be it foreigners or not, must not work on Sabbath or face death penalty. Would the guy that got stoned for picking sticks spared if he said, I am not jewish anymore (because as non jewish, he is supposed to break the sabbath)?
On others it's says that non jews should not follow Torah. In particular sabbath observance is no no.
Which one is right?
And in what way?
Say, because I am not jewish I must not follow Torah. Should I kill, steal, murder, etc.?
Should I work on Sabbath?
What's the difference?

It's My Hormones, Doctor
by Stephen Gascoigne
As a boy growing up in Derbyshire in England, I was always confused as to why the Duke of Devonshire had his ancestral home, Chatsworth House, in Derbyshire. It is reputed that when Charles Blount, 8th Baron Mountjoy, was made Earl of Devon in 1603, King James I asked him where he came from. On the reply, "from Derbyshire�, the King said, "Never heard of it, arise Earl of Devon�.

6 Ridiculous Myths About the Middle Ages Everyone Believes
When you think of the Middle Ages, chances are you picture gallant knights sitting astride brilliant destriers galloping through a sea of plagues, ignorance, and filth. And you can hardly be blamed for that, when everything from the movies you watch to your high school history teacher (who was mainly the football coach) has told you that ...
#6. Scientific Progress Was Dead
The Myth:
They call it the Dark Ages for a reason. Any scientist who dared to actually study the universe would be shut down by the Catholic church, which thought all that bullshit was immoral and that the Bible was all the learnin' anybody could possibly need. They even thought the Earth was flat, for crying out loud.
"No, we can't cross the ocean there, don't you see that sea monster in the way?"
The Reality:
Aside from the fact that, as we've already explained, most people in the Middle Ages did not think the Earth was flat, the church wasn't responsible for killing science -- to the contrary, it was largely responsible for saving it.
After the barbarians invaded Europe and Rome went the way of the dinosaurs, the Catholic church was the last remaining aspect of Roman culture in Western Europe. The church went about setting up monasteries across Europe, and along with the monks came the monks' massive libraries. Monks were just about the only educated people in the early Middle Ages, and pretty much everything we know about this entire time period was written by them.
"Look, the monks' scroll clearly says that all monks had 12-inch dongs, so it must be true."
As time went on, the church stepped it up a notch and started establishing universities to foster the preservation of knowledge. You may have heard of a few of them: Oxford, Cambridge, and the University of Paris (not to mention pretty much every other top school in Europe). At these universities, students studied more than most college kids do today, with an average bachelor's degree taking up to seven years to earn, and a master's or doctorate taking several more. The universities were also big on translation, having successfully translated into Latin guys like Aristotle and Plato, which effectively made the Renaissance possible. All of this despite the fact that beer bong technology was still in its infancy.
Around the same time as universities were popping up all over Europe, the Crusades were bringing Europeans into contact with advanced Muslim ideas of science and technology. Ideas like the compass and the astrolabe came to the West via Muslim Spain and came in handy during the later Age of Exploration. Italian merchants came back from trading in North Africa and gave us another innovation: Arabic numerals.
Pfft, like people are going to want to learn a whole other set of characters.
Medicine also made massive advances thanks to the university system. Contrary to popular belief, dissection of corpses was actually fine and dandy with the church, and medieval universities often did it in the basement (OK, so maybe it wasn't totally fine and dandy). By the 14th century, there were functional hospitals, and doctors had learned how to use antiseptic when lopping off people's body parts.
And that's a good thing, because everybody was encrusted in filth back then, right? Well, about that ...
#5. Everyone Smelled Like Complete Shit
The Myth:
Even if we know nothing else about the Middle Ages, we know that everyone was absolutely filthy. Medieval peasants looked like something straight out of Monty Python and the Holy Grail ...
But not nearly as whimsical.
... and the upper classes were hardly any cleaner. People back then took baths with about the same frequency as we go to the dentist -- a couple of times a year for the obsessive ones. Just getting to a person's genitals required a stiff wire brush and a chisel.
The Reality:
They were way into bathing for much of the Middle Ages. Maybe too into it -- they continued the Roman practice where a bunch of strangers got naked together for communal bathing, and most towns and even villages in medieval Germany had a communal bath where craftsmen would hang out and bathe together after a hard day's work. Just sitting there, probably washing each other's dongs while having loud conversations about how incredibly not gay they were.
"You see my new pickup wagon with a bunch of tools in the back?"
Meanwhile, not only was it common for medieval folk to wash their hands before and after eating, it was also customary to offer to bathe with guests when they entered your home, something The Man has repeatedly reminded us is no longer acceptable in modern society. Medieval demand for soap (usually made from animal fats, with a variety of oils and salts added) was so great that by the 13th century, soap was being made on an almost industrial scale in Britain, Italy, Spain, and France.
So why do we picture everyone as wallowing in their own filth back then? Well, things changed all at once. If only an act of God could change Europe's epic bathing culture, they got one -- in the mid-14th century, the Black Death strolled up and kicked Europe right in the teeth with its pestilence boot. Suddenly, smart people were telling the previously washed masses that bathing was a surefire way to open your body's pores and invite in all the bad spirits or gremlins or whatever (they weren't too savvy on what caused illness back then).
"The academy is divided down the middle, between Jews and forest pixies."
As a result, by the early modern period of history, bathing had become obsolete. So it's entirely possible that George Washington rated higher than Richard the Lionheart on the smell-like-shit-o-meter.
#4. Knights Were Honorable, Chivalrous Warriors
The Myth:
Knights were gallant and brave warriors, charging into battle to slay the dragon and rescue the fair maiden.
The Reality:
Knights often had less in common with this:
Wikimedia Commons
"We shall die for the glory of our randomly assigned piece of land!"
And more in common with this:
Johan Ordonez/NBC News
Wessex side.
Remember, knights were professional warriors, and when there wasn't a war to fight, they had to find something to do with their war-boners. Most of these guys were relatively young and didn't have Call of Duty to satisfy their violent urges, so they tended to take it out on the local population. Toward the 11th century, many of the local lords started bickering over who would get a slice of the Holy Roman pie that Charlemagne baked, and the knights were at the forefront of these petty wars. These "wars" were less Braveheart-style epic battles and more knights rolling up into villages and slaughtering everybody.
The church tried to curb these conflicts, because frankly, they were nasty and threatened the stability of everything. First they tried to gather up all the knights and shake various body parts of dead saints at them, but when that didn't work, the Pope called the First Crusade and exported all these assholes to the Middle East, where they chivalrously ate babies and massacred the entire population of Jerusalem.
Wikimedia Commons
"Hey, the Pope said we wouldn't go to hell! No backsies!"
Later attempts were made to get these young 'uns under control, one being the chivalric code that was adopted around the 13th century. Examples like Sir Lancelot and Edward the Black Prince were raised to show knights how to behave in battle and in peace. Knights were encouraged to "defend the weak," but "the weak" was commonly interpreted as noble women and children, not peasants. So noble-on-noble violence may have decreased, but it was still totally cool for knights to kill and rape peasants, since, like those beers you had for breakfast, they didn't really count.

Freshman Ben Boerma Sets School Record in the Men's 5000 meter (Outdoor) at Charlotte's 49er Classic
March 22, 2014
CHARLOTTE, N.C. – Buoyed by a school-record effort from freshman Ben Boerma, the Anderson University s and men's track and field team wrapped up the 49er Classic, hosted by Charlotte at the Irwin Belk Track & Field facility.

To the editor:
Dad - from a little girl, Daddy sounds so sweet; and then there's a teen saying, "Yes, father," to the question, "Why can't I go to the dance, you old meany?"
If dad is too good of a dad in the good-old style, daddy's little girl or boy would be in for a life of dad being an enabler instead of a taskmaster to sure sure daddy's little boy or girl got on track for a productive life.
Dads are dictators and don't need any new friends. Their thoughts, if be known, or actions taken in raising God's little precious gift - a boy or girl - are to instill the values of God, family and country into the family tree with all the unconditional love he can muster without being remembered as an old meany.
When your own child's future is at stake, he'll be remembered as my dad - the custodian of good morals and values, and thank God for that.

KNOXVILLE — Tennessee's Trae Golden understands he doesn't necessarily fit the profile of a typical point guard.
Golden has a reputation as a scorer, but he runs the offense for a Tennessee team that doesn't really have a proven pure point guard. Golden gradually has learned the best way to get his teammates involved without losing his scorer's mentality.
"I'm never really going to be the true point guard everybody wants me to be, but it's my game," Golden said. "I'm going to help continue to make others better and score the basketball. That's what I do."
Lately, he's doing it as well as ever.
Golden has averaged 14.5 points while totaling 13 assists and only two turnovers in Tennessee's last two games. He will try to continue that pace Friday when Tennessee (4-1) faces No. 20 Georgetown (4-1) in an SEC/Big East Challenge game at the Verizon Center in Washington, D.C.
His recent play backs up the faith Tennessee coach Cuonzo Martin has shown in him.
Martin referred to Golden as a "scoring point guard" before the season and noted that the team generally is playing well when he's performing well. Martin emphasized that the Vols needed Golden to score because it frees up the rest of the offense.
Golden has taken those words to heart thus far. He's improved as a distributor while remaining one of the Vols' top scorers.
"He's done a tremendous job of taking care of the ball, getting the ball where it needs to go but also looking for his offense," Martin said.
Golden has scored 12.4 points per game and he ranks third in the SEC with 5.2 assists per game. His 3.71 assist-turnover ratio represents a dramatic improvement from last year, when Golden collected 154 assists and 98 turnovers for a ratio of 1.57.
The 6-foot-2 junior spent the offseason working to upgrade that ratio.
"It's something I really wanted to improve on - my decision-making," Golden said. "I saw where I could improve. Things like that, at the end of the day, really helped me. Now it's paying off."
Golden was a model of efficiency Monday by scoring 18 points on 7-of-9 shooting and handing out seven assists with only one turnover in a 77-50 rout of Oakland. He hasn't turned the ball over more than twice in any of Tennessee's first five games.
He also has helped the Vols fill the leadership void created by the injury to forward Jeronne Maymon, who hasn't played all season after having a setback in his recovery from arthroscopic knee surgery. Maymon, a 6-7 senior, averaged 12.7 points and a team-high 8.1 rebounds per game last season as the Vols' emotional leader. There's no timetable for his return.
Maymon's absence could prove particularly glaring Friday against a Georgetown team that has four starters 6-8 or taller. Georgetown's only loss this season was an 82-72 overtime decision against top-ranked Indiana in the Legends Classic at Brooklyn, N.Y.
"You can lose a guy who scores the ball, you can lose a guy who does different things," Martin said. "But when you've got a guy that's kind of a blueprint of Tennessee basketball - (someone who's) tough, hard-nosed, defends, rebounds, facilitates, a tremendous leader, with great character - when you lose those types of things, obviously it's tough for a team. We talk about it all the time. You've got to be good off the court before you can be good on the court. He brings those things to the table. When you lose that type of leadership, it's not an easy thing, but guys are doing a good job making adjustments."
Golden has done his part to help fill that role. Martin noted that Golden was being more vocal on the floor. When the situation calls for it, he doesn't hesitate to challenge teammates. The other Vols have noticed the difference.
"(He's) just talking on the court, running the team, being a floor general out there, being a true point guard," senior forward Kenny Hall said.
Golden might say that he'll never be the "true" point guard that people want him to be, but his teammates apparently disagree.

Does this concept only apply to terminal drivers (which is what most sites cover) or to any driver in general?
The terms raw and cooked only apply to terminal drivers. "Cooked" is called canonical and "raw" is called non-canonical mode.
The terminal driver is, by default a line-based system: characters are buffered internally until a carriage return (Enter or Return) before it is passed to the program - this is called "cooked". This allows certain characters to be processed (see
The terminal can be placed into "raw" mode where the characters are not processed by the terminal driver, but are sent straight through (it can be set that INTR and QUIT characters are still processed). This allows programs like

I'm wondering if a ubuntu pc can act as a server to provide the ability to network boot ubuntu's live cd to other system(s) in the network.
To make my question more clear:
From Wikipedia's article on Network Booting:
The initial software to be loaded is loaded from a
serveron the network; for TCP/IP networks this is usually done using the Trivial File Transfer Protocol. The server from which to load the initial software is usually found by broadcasting or multicasting a Bootstrap Protocol or Dynamic Host Configuration Protocol request. Typically, this initial software is not a full image of the operating system to be loaded, but just part of it - enough for the operating system to start and then take control of the booting process, and continue booting over the network.
I want to make one ubuntu pc as the "server" and enable the other pc's to be able to boot from a ubuntu image I host on the server

5 Shockingly Powerful Kids Who Make You Look Like a Coward
#2. Marjoe Gortner: Baby Preacher
Seven out of 10 Americans agree that the one thing we're missing in this country is a pint-sized Pentecostal preacher who is capable of twirling batons while condemning our souls to an eternity of raging hellfire. But mid-century Americans were blessed, because along with the constant fear of nuclear annihilation, they had Marjoe, the world's youngest ordained minister.
Born to a third generation preacher and his psychotic wife, Marjoe was named after Mary and Joseph, so right away you knew something was going to be up with this family.
Marjoesus would have just sounded silly.
Marjoe's parents immediately realized he wasn't just any run of the mill toddler. For one thing, he had a gift for mimicry. So, after presumably nixing the first idea that comes to mind with that combination of talents...
Claiming to be the reincarnated president.
...they went with the next best thing: pumping him full of memorized sermons and choreographed gestures and turning him into a four-year-old preacher. Then the family spent his childhood blasting the Bible Belt with the evangelical stylings of Marjoe Gortner.
So How Powerful Was This Kid, Exactly?
Powerful enough to bamboozle about three million dollars out of thousands of grown-ass adults, with the sheer force of his personality.
At a time when the average salary was $3,319, this tyke was capable of using his own charisma and cojones to raise thousands of dollar a night. And here's the kicker: Even as a kid he didn't believe any of the stuff he was selling. So he was also a terrifyingly good actor.
And it wasn't just about the novelty of watching a kid preach either, because he successfully revived his career as an adult. Only this time he recorded his chicanery in an Academy Award winning documentary.
#1. Iqbal Masih Makes You Look Like the Devil
Every now and then a person comes along who just makes you look bad. No matter who you are, or what you do... you could be a doctor who corrects cleft palates on Third World babies for free, it doesn't matter. Pakistani Iqbal Masih was that kind of person... by the age of 10.
Indentured at the age of five to a carpet factory, Iqbal was chained to his loom and forced to work 12 hours a day. And when he tried to escape, he was beaten. And because the carpet bosses didn't feed him well enough, he never grew. And he shuffled when he walked, no doubt because he spent his childhood on his feet and chained to a freaking loom. Life was hard for Iqbal.
Yet, at the age of 10, the pint-sized Cool Hand Luke escaped and joined the Bonded Labor Liberation Front of Pakistan, a group that was dedicated to freeing child slaves.
So How Powerful Was This Kid, Exactly?
In two years, Iqbal liberated 3,000 kids from slavery.
Iqbal didn't just join the BLLF, he pretty much became their spokesman. Which is a pretty audacious thing to do, when you think about it. While most of us would have just sauntered back home and caught up on eating and Wii, this kid actually went back into trenches, even disguising himself and sneaking into factories to interview kids about their working conditions.
In fact, Iqbal was so effective in his crusading that Pakistani carpet exports actually dropped by over $200,000,000 during the years he worked for the BLLF. Sadly, it also made him a high profile target of the alleged "carpet mafia" and the boy was murdered at the age of 13 in 1995. Which means that he helped liberate all those kids in just two short years of work.
Two years work in America can get you out of the mail room and into a cubicle.
We told you he'd make you look bad.

JOHANNESBURG, Sept 2 (SW) – Despite dominating this qualifying match for the 2008 African Nations Cup Finals, the home side dropped two valuable points when Congo – Brazzaville held them to a goalless draw.
Carlos Alberto Parreira, South Africa's new coach as from 1 January 2007 must have wondering what he has let himself in for when he watched the South Africans squander chance after chance.
He will certainly be earning his R1.8 million per month (€192 300) in an effort to make Bafana Bafana more competitive when it comes to the World Cup in 2010.
Apart from the lack of strikers, the lack of spectators (8 000) at a stadium that can hold nearly ten times that number, must have concerned him as well.
South Africa's greatest problem over the past year has been the lack of goals. Local clubs have good strikers, but unfortunately they are nationals from other countries in Africa, the better ones of which have found their mark mainly in Europe.
Credit has to go to the Congolese defence who defended excellently throughout. In the match their defence had thirteen corners with which to contend. The only excitement came in the final twenty minutes when the hosts did manage to squeeze the ball into the net, for it only to be disallowed for offside.
Hardly a match to get anyone excited and a disturbing one for qualification for Africa 2008 and the World Cup in 2010.

TORONTO - The TEMS Joint Ambulance District had a busy 2012, with more runs completed, more training and a low average response time.
The emergency ambulance provider covering Toronto, Stratton, Empire and Knox Township had an average response time of 2.4 minutes in 2012, slighter lower than the year before, according to Clark Crago, TEMS chief of operations. "The response time is a little faster," said Crago. "It depends on the geographic area we respond to. In 2011 we had 1,359 runs," continued Crago. "Last year we had 1,459 runs - an increase of 100 runs."
Crago also said while the department assisted other local emergency provider agencies with 82 calls last year, TEMS rarely required assistance from other agencies. "We had to call for assistance five times in 2012," he said. "That was generally when we had multiple calls or multiple victims. We are very proud of that because no one else we know of can live up to that number."
Crago said in 2012 TEMS received 627 calls on the daylight shift; 587 on the afternoon shift; and 246 calls on the midnight shift. TEMS transported 1,052 patients to Trinity Medical Center West; 178 to Weirton Medical Center; 36 to East Liverpool City Hospital; and eight to STAT MedEvac. He added it's the patient's choice which hospital to be transported to.
Off-duty personnel had to be called out for 260 emergency runs in 2012, while the total number of hours logged by personnel was 24,078. TEMS currently has five full-time and five part-time paramedics on staff, Crago said.
"We're seeing an influx of calls where it's gotten busier from the hours of 4 p.m. to 7 p.m.," said Crago. "What we'd like to see in the future is having more crews on duty available during our busiest hours. We also have additional 20 part-time personnel who are basic or intermediate emergency medical technicians."
TEMS also performed 24 child car safety seat inspections in 2012 and distributed eight seats.
"We do have car safety seats available for qualified residents," said Crago, adding the district hosted 36 cardiac pulmonary resuscitation classes for 218 people in 2012. "We hosted quite a few CPR classes in 2012. We're currently setting up a bi-monthly CPR class for the public. The cost is $30 person per person."
Last year TEMS acquired $6,000 in grant funds, Crago continued.
"Last year was a slow year for grants," Crago said, adding grants are becoming more difficult to obtain. "The last week in 2011 we were awarded $160,000 from two grants for projects we completed in the spring of last year.
"In 2012 we did install our new heart monitors in ambulances that were obtained through a Federal Emergency Management Agency grant we received in the last week in 2011," Crago continued. "Also, we put into use our new Power-Load lifts that were obtained through a grant from the Ohio Bureau of Workman's Compensation (agency)."
Crago said the future of TEMS includes more training and updating emergency systems and equipment.
"For this year we're currently refurbishing one of our older (ambulance) units and updating our portable radios," said Crago, adding Jefferson County 911 is switching to a digital communications system.

Pro-Gun Rally Hits Cuomo
ALBANY—More than 600 opponents of New York's new gun-control laws rallied Tuesday at the state Capitol, vowing to disobey the firearms restrictions signed last month by Gov. Andrew Cuomo, and push for their repeal.
The protesters were a manifestation of the pushback against the gun laws the Democratic governor shepherded to passage quickly in January, following the Newtown, Conn., school shooting. His approval ratings, once above 70%, have dipped in recent weeks, and he has been the target of increasingly harsh attacks from Republicans.
Another rally inside the Capitol on Tuesday in support of the gun-control law drew about 75 attendees.
The New York State Rifle and Pistol Association is planning a rally in Albany on Feb. 28 for as many as 35,000 people, with National Rifle Association President David Keene as its keynote speaker.
Fights over new firearms laws are also heating up in Connecticut, where gun-rights supporters have come out in force against new restrictions, and in New Jersey, where the Legislature is slated to take up 24 bills address guns on Wednesday. Among the New Jersey proposals are reducing the capacity of magazines to 10 rounds from 15 and to ban ammunition sales through the Internet.
In Albany on Tuesday, many protesters said they felt cheated by New York's Republican lawmakers and the process Mr. Cuomo used to pass the bill, which he announced and passed in a single day.
Tracy Brundege, a 52-year-old barbecue chef from Schenectady, N.Y., perched in the open cab door of his silver pickup truck handing out stickers and selling "Don't Tread on Me" flags.
"Our governor has seen fit to try and restrict the rights we get by our constitution. We're just not going to stand for it anymore," he said.
Mr. Brundege and others said they wouldn't comply with the state's new law requiring owners of assault rifles to register guns the law made illegal. He worried the registration requirement would lead the government to confiscate his weapons.
He festooned his own vehicle with a white banner that showed a silhouette of an AR-15 rifle. It said: "Come and take it."
At a news conference in Poughkeepsie today, Mr. Cuomo defended the gun law. "I understand the politics of it, but I'm very proud that this state passed a comprehensive, common sense gun-control law that is reasonable, that is balanced, that does not affect hunters, does not affect sportsmen."
Tuesday's protest also marked the return of Mr. Cuomo's 2010 Republican opponent, Buffalo businessman Carl Paladino, who appeared in Albany for the first time since his gubernatorial campaign. Mr. Paladino had harsh words for Mr. Cuomo but perhaps was tougher on Dean Skelos, the Long Island senator who is that chamber's Republican leader. Mr. Skelos, in a deal with Mr. Cuomo and Democrats with whom he shares power, allowed the gun laws to come up for a vote. He also voted for them.
Mr. Paladino urged protesters to "bring [Skelos] to the woodshed." A spokesman for Mr. Skelos said: "We're not going to comment on any statements from a failed former gubernatorial candidate looking to extend his 15 minutes of fame."
Mr. Skelos said last week the Legislature may have "act[ed] in haste," in passing gun laws so quickly. Legislators are proposing revisions to the laws.

Can we find a homeomorphism from the square $Q_2$ of side length $2$ centered on the origin and the unit circle $S^1$?
We can easily define a map $r:Q \longrightarrow S^1$ by
$$(x,y) \mapsto \bigg(\frac{x}{\sqrt{x^2+y^2}},\frac{y}{\sqrt{x^2+y^2}} \bigg)$$ which is a radial projection onto the unit circle, but how can we define $r^{-1}$ and show that it is continuous?
I think we may define the inverse map as
$$(x,y) \mapsto \bigg(\frac{x}{\sqrt2\max{│x│, │y│}} , \frac{y}{\sqrt2\max {│x│, │y│}}\bigg)$$At least intuitively this maps to a square, and the $\frac{1}{\sqrt2}$ term scales appropriately. However, how can we demonstrate these are continuous maps, thus demonstrating that $Q_2$ and $S^1$ are homeomorphic?
Any help would be appreciated. Regards, MM.

Asked by a colleague: Do we believe that there are an infinite number of number fields that have no unramified extensions? The rational field Q is the most salient example of such a field, and a couple of others are known. But what is conjectured, and what is the philosophy here?
The question itself is certainly still open. Mostly as an exercise for myself, I'll coalesce my comments above into an answer, and add in some details about where various pieces of the philosophy come from.
The starting point is the following philosophy:
The ring of integers in any number field with sufficiently small root discriminant admits no non-trivial unramified extensions.
This philosophy can occasionally be made precise. For example, Yamamura uses tables of root discriminant bounds from Diaz y Diaz to conclude that for a quadratic imaginary number field $K$ of discriminant $|d|\leq 499$ (or $|d|\leq 2003$ under GRH), the maximal unramified extension of $K$ is a finite extension. This is particularly relevant since each of these maximal unramified extensions clearly has the property that you ask about, that they themselves admit no unramified extensions.
The bad news is that the set of number fields with sufficiently small root discriminant to apply these results (at least, without a tremendous of extra effort analyzing carefully constructed extensions) is finite. In particular, results of Odlyzko imply that that there are only finitely many number fields with root discriminant less than $4\pi e^\gamma\approx 22.3$, where $\gamma$ is the Euler-Mascheroni constant (yeah, that Euler-Mascheroni constant!). Under GRH, this remains true for the larger bound $8\pi e^\gamma$. In fact, as a nice concrete factoid to hold on to, Jones and Roberts have shown that there are exactly 7063 abelian number fields with root discriminant under $8\pi e^\gamma$, and sort these according to their Galois group.
Back to good news: So we now ask ourselves whether or not these numbers $4\pi e^\gamma$ and $8\pi e^\gamma$ can be improved. The answer is a definite yes. If we partition number fields based on their proportion of real and complex embeddings, we can get improvements on fields with increased proportion of complex embeddings, up to an improvement factor of $e$ for totally complex number fields. Further, since Odlyzko's argument stems from work of Stark estimating values of $L$-functions, it seems plausible to believe there are analytic improvements to be made as well. So maybe we can keep pushing these bounds higher and higher, enough so that we find infinitely many number fields with smaller root discriminant.
More bad news: There's an inherent limit to how good we can make these bounds, coming from the study of class field towers. (Okay, so this is actually really good news for those of us who like to study class field towers, but I digress...) Namely, since root discriminants are unchanged when moving up an unramified extension, fields with an infinite class field tower provide a stopping point for any claim of the form "there are finitely many number fields with root discriminant less than such-and-such bound." This is also something that can be partitioned by proportion of real and complex embeddings, and it's been a hot topic recently to see how limited these Odlyzko-type bounds can get. Recently, Hajir and Maire have further refined this line of thought by considering towers of number fields with tame ramification.
So, long story short, from this point of view, the big unknown is whether, once we know optimal bounds on root discriminants, whether or not there will be infinitely many number fields with root discriminants less than that bound. Of course, there's also the possibility that there are other techniques for proving that a number field has no unramified extensions that do not go through root discriminants -- perhaps a form of non-abelian class field theory can come to the rescue, as abelian class field theory can address only the weaker (but still open and fantastically interesting) question of fields with no abelian unramified extensions.

CLEVELAND – After closing the 2014 season with his second consecutive trip to the NCAA Division II Wrestling Championships, sophomore Zak Hale was named to the 2013-14 Division II All-Academic First Team, selected by Division II Wrestling Coaches Association.
A pre-engineering major, Hale carries a 3.20 GPA and was one of 47 wrestlers throughout the country to be honored on the first team, while 134 other student-athletes were named to the second team and honorable mention list. Despite a quick exit if the NCAA Tournament, Hale closed the year with a team-high 21 victories with six wins by fall.
In order for a student-athlete to be nominated to the Division II All-Academic Team, he needed to have a minimum 3.00 cumulative grade point average on a 4.0 scale. He must also be in at least his second full year at his school, be a varsity member on his team or a key reserve, demonstrate a degree of skill and have a minimum of two letters of recommendation (academic advisor and coach) submitted on his behalf.

How to Bind Off or Cast Off Knitting
8 of 11 in Series: The Essentials of Knitting a Gauge Swatch
To bind off or cast off knitting, you secure the stitches in the last row worked so they don't unravel. Binding off and casting off knitting is also called finishing the edge. Whatever you call it, it's easy to do.
Knit the first 2 stitches from the LH needle.
These become the first 2 stitches on your RH needle.
Unless otherwise told to do so, always bind off according to the stitch pattern given. If you would normally be working a purl row, purl the stitches when you bind off instead of knitting them.
With your LH needle in front of your RH needle, insert the LH needle into the first stitch worked on the RH needle.
This stitch is the one on the right.
Bring this loop over the second stitch and off the tip of the RH needle.
At this point, you have 1 stitch bound off and 1 stitch remaining on your RH needle.
Knit the next stitch on the LH needle so that you again have 2 stitches on your RH needle.
Repeat the preceding steps until you have 1 stitch remaining on your RH needle.
Cut the yarn a few inches from the needle and pull the tail through the last stitch to lock it.
If the piece you've just bound off is to be sewn to another piece, leave a tail that's 12 inches long or longer for a built-in strand to sew up a seam.
Don't bind off too tightly, which is easy to do. Knitting should be elastic, especially around neck edges if you want to be able to get a sweater on and off comfortably (and who doesn't want that?). To avoid a tight and inelastic bound edge, try working the bind-off row on a needle one or more sizes larger than what you've been using.

You have a plumber, electrician, babysitter, etc. doing a job for you. There is a Mitzva of "Byomo Titein Schoro" paying in the same day. If you pay by check, where the person has to first go to the bank and cash it, and may not get to it until the following day, is it considered "Byomo Titein Schoro"?

The mitzvah of Byomo Titein Schoro/Lo Tolin is made up of an aseh and a lo ta'aseh.
According to The Halachos of Other People's Money by Rabbi Bodner, paying by check paturs you from both, i.e. you didn't do the aseh, but you didn't violate the lo ta'aseh.
R' Ezra Basri (in Dinei Mamonot) doesn't discuss whether you fulfill the aseh, but he does say "A worker need not be paid in cash. A check is also sufficient. Similarly, an employer may arrange for a bank or finance company to pay his workers."

The Sun: Jovetic close to signing?
- 14 July 2013 09:14
- Posted by @dclayton_mcfc
If you believe what you read in the papers, City could be in for a busy week in the transfer market.
The Blues have been heavily linked with Alvaro Negredo, Zlatan Ibrahimovic and Stevan Jovetic in recent days.
And there's been a number of stories suggesting one or two of the current squad may be on their way out of the Etihad – such is the summer transfer merry-go-round.
One possible in-coming could be Montenegro striker Jovetic, according to Shaun Custis of The Sun, at least. He reports: "Jovetic is on the verge of a £27million Manchester City move.
"Only personal terms have to be finalised — with the striker, 23, eyeing a five-year £120,000-a-week Etihad deal.
"SunSport revealed last Tuesday how City boss Manuel Pellegrini wanted the Fiorentina ace to replace Carlos Tevez.
"A source close to the Montenegro star said: 'It's pretty much sorted he'll go to City.They just have to sort his contract. It shouldn't be a big problem.'"
One story that has lingered all summer has been Juventus' alleged pursuit of Aleks Kolarov.
Forza Italian Football's Sam Lewis writes: "Juventus are preparing another bid for Manchester City left-back Aleksandar Kolarov, according to reports.
"The Citizens defender has been a target for some time, and is not regarded a first choice by the English club.
"Tuttosport report that Juventus are going make another bid for the Serbian after their first one was rejected by City earlier this summer."
Elsewhere, what was probably a throwaway comment by City legend-in-the-making Pablo Zabaleta during a magazine interview has been churned out and regurgitated on a number of websites today.
The Sunday Express' snippet is typical of many others as they report: "The Argentine defender, 28, was impressive last season, playing 43 times in all competitions.
"But he has revealed he would relish the chance to play in Italy and confesses to being a fan of Fiorentina
"He said: 'Serie A is a major championship. It's certainly a league I'd like to play in.'"
Hardly a case of the much-loved City warrior banging down the manager's door and demanding a move! Keep tuning in to mcfc.co.uk this week for all the genuine transfer activity…

9 Video Game Easter Eggs That Took Years to Find
#4. Arkham City Plans (Arkham Asylum, various)
In a game that sold two million copies within just a few weeks on shelves, you wouldn't think any secret could stay secret for long. But the developers of Batman: Arkham Asylum inserted a secret room that went undiscovered for six months before they finally just came out and announced it themselves.
Six months might not sound like long, but keep in mind that was a period when everyone online who liked Batman or video games--i.e. everyone--was playing. It didn't help that it involved blowing open a completely random, unmarked section of wall with absolutely nothing in the way of hints to point you that direction.
Eidos' marketing team slowly went insane as their incredible viral marketing stunt went undiscovered (the secret room promoted the game's sequel, Arkham City) and eventually just phoned a game site and told them how to do it.
Batman surveys yet another horrifying plan that will torture thousands and he won't just kill the psychopath instead.
If you want to find the secret room (ie the Warden's Secret Office), here's a video showing you how.
#3. The Citadel (GoldenEye, N64)
The opening level of GoldenEye has a secret island. If you only played the game without cheating (that is, without a device like a GameShark), you've never been there.
At the end of the dam level (that is, the first level), there are two directions: Left, leaping into one of the best Bond shots ever, to kill an entire chemical weapons facility full of Russians like a high-explosive aerodynamic ass of badness, or right, to stare across the endless expanse of gray. You find the egg by choosing the second option. Look out there with a scope and you can see a tiny island way out in the distance, and no apparent way to get there.
With a GameShark you can turn on "noclip" mode and that will let you just walk out across the water, off to the undiscovered country.
What you find looks badass, what with the huge turret and gatling gun:
Sadly, looking badass is all it does. What you've found is a half-formed idea the programmers had. The "Citadel" was meant to be an extra part of the level, but as the deadline approached, a combination of lack of memory, lack of time and the realization that they'd already made the best console shooter yet to exist meant there were cuts. Rather than deleting the island, they just deleted the boat that was meant to take you there, wrongly assuming that gamers would be too distracted by all the awesomely shooting people to notice the island.
#2. Developer's Initials (Donkey Kong, Atari 400)
This one is amazing, not because of what the Easter egg was, but because of how ridiculously long it stayed hidden: 26 years.
Back when companies kept programmers in cages and "getting a chair" counted as a promotion, Landon M. Dyer was hired to convert Donkey Kong for the Atari 400. They had the license, the original game was setting arcades aflame across the nation and ... well, that's all. His first task was spending a stack of his own quarters to find out what kind of Kong a Donkey was anyway.
He spent the next five months single-handedly reinventing the game on inferior hardware and ended up so deep in the Matrix that he snapped and hid his own initials in the code.
We're rather afraid that's it
And when we say "hid," we mean they were buried so deep the secret stayed hidden for a quarter century. And even then it was only found because Landon told everyone about it, though he'd forgotten how to unlock it himself.
Seriously. Just this.
Well, one man did it. All it took was for him to pry apart all 25,000 lines of assembly code, backtracking from an AND statement through the insane combination of setting a high score with 37, 73 or 77 as the fifth and fourth digits, losing all his lives--the final death by falling--then resetting the machine to difficulty level 4 and waiting. By that point you're so deeply involved in the game you've legally married it.
But hey, Easter eggs aren't about the destination, they're about the journey. Or something.
#1. Kill Your Friend (Duck Hunt, NES)
You can play as the duck in Duck Hunt.
Now, depending on what type of person you are, or what type of person you were in 1985, you'll either respond by saying, "Well duh, it's mentioned in the manual" or with the much more common, "I PLAYED THAT GAME FOR 10 YEARS HOW DID I NEVER KNOW THAT?!".
Hey, this is a game about holding a gun and killing things, so it's for men, and instruction manuals aren't (the game even had a clay pigeon mode which was clearly there to prove it's only fun to shoot things that have faces). Also, a lot of us weren't old enough to read in 1985.
Our failure to do so, however, robbed us of the joy of killing things that had faces and the cursing voices of our friends. All you had to do was make sure you had a firm grip on the Zapper and plug a controller into Port 2 in "Single Duck" mode.
The control pad is now controlling the duck. Now go get your NES out of the garage and try it.

Someone told me that Jadrolinija is operating ferries in Croatia. However, their site is somehow confusing.
Is there any other site with ferry timetables, or specifically, timetables of the Split - Supetar ferry?
I am from Croatia and I find their site confusing as well.
Maybe this link can help you.
IMHO, on this link you have very clear timetable for selected date if that is what you want to find
We're looking for long answers that provide some explanation and context. Don't just give a one-line answer; explain why your answer is right, ideally with citations. Answers that don't include explanations may be removed.
On this page, after selecting the English language, you can easily find all the schedule between Split and Supetar (and other cities).
As I've understood, these ferries are quite easy to use - they are frequent (near once in 2 hours) and fast (near 50 minutes to go).

I'm going to say thanks in advance. I'm very new to GIS and this forum is a tremendous help. My simple questions have been solved; here's one that might be a little trickier.
Given a polygon in a PostGIS geometry table, I want to find the northern and southern latitudes that would bound an arbitrary portion of the polygon's area (say 95%), with the remainder trimmed equally from the north and the south. I think what I want may be called a bounding box, though for a large polygon it might seem more like a conic section. I've noticed a number of functions relating to boxes in the documentation, but haven't figured out how they could be defined as I've described.

Our organic grade A maple syrup, bought in bulk, has gone slightly fermented in the fridge. If I were still in college, this would be great, but I am a bit older. What do I do with this stuff? Can I assume it is fine in baked goods? How can I accelerate my usage of it?
Yeah, syrup can ferment + convert sugar to alcohol. It has more of a tendency to do so if the sugar content is lower -- I tend to err on the side of overconcentrating my syrup.
You can try boiling it for a while to see if the alcohol boils off + if the flavor is OK then use it... but I'd boil down a bit more first, to make sure the sugar content is back up to standards. Either boil until the boiling point is 7 degrees F higher than the boiling point of water at your altitude, or boil until the syrup "aprons" (e.g. starts to drip in a sheet rather than discrete drops; a flat edge of a metal spatula works well), with the former being more accurate if you have a good thermometer.
If the flavor remains after boiling, then try using in recipes -- perhaps in brownies/blondies or with ice cream.
That sounds like it would work well for glazing pork or maybe smoked chicken/turkey.
There is just one thing I can think of. Maple Sugar Candy :-) The alcohol ferment will cook off some and leave behind the sugar.

Like any major life decision, you need to think carefully before you rush out and get inked or pierced. Tattoos are permanent, unless you have major bucks to spend getting it removed, and piercing may be more permanent that you think. I�m all for expressing yourself, but here are a few things to think about before committing.
Tattoos and piercing involve needles in the skin, which means you need to think about where that needle and needle holder have been. Would you get a shot at the doctor�s office that wasn�t highly sterile administered by someone who knows exactly what he�s doing? So why is a tattoo any different?
Oh, and one last thought. There are places out there that will tattoo you before it�s *technically* legal. If they�re willing to break the law, they are much more likely to break the laws of cleanliness. My advice? Wait until you can get your work done by an absolute professional.
Sure, tattoos express yourself and nobody can fire you for having one (unless its obscene or racist, etc...), but they can fire you for breaking their dress code. No, my friends, dress codes don�t stop with graduation.
You may think you�re off the hook with piercings, but many piercings can leave a mark. Your belly button looks cute pierced, but when you take that ring out someday, your belly button might be scarred. The same is true for your eyebrows, lips and nose. Who wants to go through life with a weird looking scar on their nose?
Plan ahead and then go ahead. It�s your body, and once it�s legal to do so, use it to express yourself. You�re obviously already doing so with your clothes or you wouldn�t be hanging out around the Doll Palace.

Lord of the Silent (Mass Market Paperbound)
The ghosts of an ancient past and the specters of a present-day evil are buried beneath the Egyptian sands . . .
For archaeologist Amelia Peabody and her family, the allure of Egypt remains as powerful as ever, even in 1915, as a World War rages. But nowhere in this exotic land is safe--especially for Amelia's son Ramses and his beautiful new wife Nefret. Treachery and danger pursue the two young lovers across the desert nation, strengthening a bond of passion and devotion that only death can sever. And the grim discovery of a recent corpse in a tomb where it does not belong is pulling Amelia deeper into a storm of intrigue, corruption, kidnapping, and murder--and toward dark revelations that threaten to awaken the past . . . and alter the family's destiny.

MANHATTAN, Kan. (AP) _ Kansas State University and the Eisenhower Presidential Library and Museum have signed a partnership to strengthen research opportunities between the two institutions.
The agreement was signed Tuesday by U.S. Archivist David Ferriero and Kansas State President Kirk Schulz. Elements include student internships, academic conferences, public lectures, exhibits and curriculum development.
Schulz said the partnership with the Eisenhower center, located in Abilene, fits the university's goal of becoming a top 50 research university by 2025. Kansas State and the Eisenhower center have had similar partnerships for military history and 20th century studies since 2001.
Karl Weissenbach, director of the Eisenhower Library and Museum, says the partnership will increase the center's visibility with the university community.
Eisenhower's brother Milton, 1924 Kansas State graduate, was the university's president from 1943 to 1950.

The bed bumped and shook....
Unfortunately, no fun was being had. It was an earthquake. I felt it two tremors, about 5 minutes apart. First was stronger than the second.
18 Answers answer
Wait, what? An earthquake in north TX? Is everything okay? I have family in the Flower Mound/Grapevine area.
@rprebel: Yeah, small one. For me it was a thump that shook the wall for a second. Someone else described it like a car hit the house. That's pretty much spot on.
Not strong enough to much, if any damage. Some in Grapevine felt it. Not sure about Flower Mound.
@thunderthighs: I hope this didn't wake my daughter up. She's used to earthquakes, but not one in TX.
Sorry you were awakened.
I didn't feel it at all here in Arlington.
@shrdlu: Just napping before time for the midnight rollover. I said to my dog (who I thought was under the bed): Either you gave the bed a good bump or my house is falling down. Figured it was an earthquake though.
I remember hearing once that my town is on a fault line, so I went and found this pdf that covers East Texas fault lines. Interesting stuff. The last paragraph freaked me out a little.
"No geologic evidence indicates that any of these faults poses a seismic threat to a hypothetical nuclear-waste repository."
Here's a map of reports of feeling it:
@thunderthighs: I'm glad you're okay!
@philey: Oooh, that's cool. I turned in my report. Thanks!
Dang it!, missed it by a few hours, spent the evening in Southlake and had dinner in Irving, but we were home south of Dallas when it hit.
It's the fracking!!()
Somebody had to say it... :-D
Grew up on the west coast and I've learned that earthquakes feel VERY different out here! "A car hitting the house" is pretty accurate. The one semi-strong quake we had here (170 mi north of you) felt like the whole house jumped straight up and slammed back down followed by a very slight vibration. We were convinced something had hit our house too!
@jimeezlady: Ya gotta figure that if you're taking something out of the earth and force feeding it something else, it's gonna burp now and then.
Well hot damn. That epicenter is like 2 miles from my apartment, but I was up in Denton at a party last night and didn't feel a thing. I bet my dog was freaking out at home though...
ba chicka ut-ohh
@thunderthighs: It's actually worse when something is taken out and nothing is put back in to replace what was removed.
@rprebel: That's hilarious.
Glad you're OK...you are our rock that never shifts!

Change Active panel header in Accordion
Screen shot 2012-11-09 at 11.29.20 AM.png
Hi ,
I need the header color of the selected panel(currently expanded mode) to be changed dynamically.
Can u suggest how to achieve this?
.x-accordion-hd {
background: red !important;
.x-accordion-hd .x-panel-header-text {
color: white;
The above CSS is applied for ALL. But I need this to happen only for the expanded panel.(i.e. in diagram represents panel2 header)

Large project with 100s of views?
First I want to say how much I really want Architect to work for our project and I'm just getting acclimated with Sencha products for the first time.
I'm having trouble imagining working in Architect after we've created numerous controllers, views, models, etc.
- Would working with a large project be wildly cumbersome?
- Can I move logical groups of functionality into their own folders?
- Is it wrong to think I can get our entire application into a single project in Architect?
- If I were to use multiple projects how do I handle objects that need to be reused? Styles, avoid code duplication, etc.

just my thoughts; I am porting an Ext JS 3.x application to 4.1.x and I find SA invaluable for this. Currently I have 38 views, 25 additional components (localized DateFields, TimeFields, GridColumns with renderer etc), 15 controllers, 14 stores and 12 models (some are fairly large with 40+ fields). I wouldn't have made it this far without SA!
SA is a great tool to keep things organized and to enforce a same structure to the project. Navigating around this project is a bit tedious at times but once you have located a view it is easy to switch between design and code mode and focus you work there. Shift-clicking in Project Inspector to expand/collapse all below a node is something you will learn quickly...
There are some issues in SA when it comes to managing localization of radio buttons and the handling of TemplateColumns but nothing that can't be sorted out once you get a hang of it - my tip is to use overrides as soon as you hit something SA can't do or don't allow you to configure - getting a property configured as "object" to behave correctly is SA can be a great time waster - skip that and go for the override is my advise.
I am working on Windows 7 64-bit with 8 GB of RAM I haven't seen any problem so far with SA's stability or speed. SA is running constantly throughout the day and I have PhpED, FF with Firebug fully enabled, Charles web-proxy together with a MySQL workbench and some text-editors - no sweat what so ever!
I use SVN to manage the code and includes my libraries (that are in different SVN locations) using the Resources function.
27 Feb 2013 12:24 AM #4
The search of the project inspector will be very usefull.
I have also the same concern about sharing objects, do you have analysed further on this point?
27 Feb 2013 8:36 AM #5
I'm working on a project that currently has 34 views, 12 controllers, 20 odd stores, 16 models, etc, and it will only be getting bigger. It's helpful to collapse everything that you aren't working on. Everything discussed above would absolutely help, especially the idea of logically grouping views (which can have custom components that they then link to, etc). I try and speed things up by dragging components that I'm working on to the top of their respective lists, that way they are a bit easier to find. It's not too bad, but now that I'm hearing what 2.2 might have in store I'm looking forward to it.
One thing I'd like to see - the ability to add comments for JsDoc on anything. Right now all comments have to go in the code. Would be nice if they could sit outside the object or function and you could even see them there when editing, but keep it separated. Man.. with smart templates for code commenting. That'd be peachy.

I'm working with two project with ~20 sub-SA projects, and the numbers are still increasing. We call them modules, and we try to keep each module small. Of our two projects, one is tab panel based and the other one is window based.
For the tab panel based project. We have a border layout viewport, we have a tree menu on the west, and tab panels on the east. But the tab panels are empty. Whenever a tab panel needs to be activated and displayed on the east tab panel area, we use an iframe inside the tab panel to load other modules, which are actually other SA projects. The code for the iframe may look something like this:
{ xtype: 'panel', layout: 'fit', html: '<iframe src='+some_url+' width=100% height=100% border=0 />' }
How do the enclosing and enclosed iframe windows to communicate? Let the code answer this question:
child -> parent:
parent -> child:
var ifrm = document.getElementById('my_iframe'); ifrm = (ifrm.contentWindow) ? ifrm.contentWindow : (ifrm.contentDocument.document) ? ifrm.contentDocument.document : ifrm.contentDocument; var my_dom = ifrm.document.getDocumentById('dom_id');
5 Mar 2013 12:45 PM #7For the tab panel based project. We have a border layout viewport, we have a tree menu on the west, and tab panels on the east. But the tab panels are empty. Whenever a tab panel needs to be activated and displayed on the east tab panel area, we use an iframe inside the tab panel to load other modules, which are actually other SA projects.
In this case, each iFrame must reload the ext library, right? What impact does this have on browser memory loading?
We're at the starting point of building a large tab-based app in Ext JS and are considering how to structure it. I hadn't really thought of doing it with an iFrame in each tab. What other downsides have you encountered?

I have come across this term numerous times and this expression is well used when something unbelievable or shocking happens but I don't understand how Mother of God can imply its meaning. Does refer back to the Bible (or any religious book) or mythological event? How is its very meaning originated?

Nowadays this is (largely) simply an exclamation, but originally it would certainly have been invoking the Virgin Mary, one of whose titles is Mother of God. Catholics invoke the prayers of the saints, and this is what this expression seeks — or originally sought — to do. [This site isn't the place for a discussion on the doctrine of the Theotokos, though.]
There are a few similar phrases still in use: Gosh and Cor are euphemisms for God; Cor blimey does mean "God blind me [for seeing that]". The obsolete zounds was euphemistically substituted for the oath "By God's wounds".
Use of a Catholic phrase such as "Mother of God," "Holy Mother of God" or even "Sweet Jesus" is naturally more prevalent in Catholic countries. Its use in the United States might be explained by the levels of Irish immigration. The phrase has had a couple of hundred years to divest itself of its overt "arrow prayer" nature.
It refers to Maria of the Christian bible. - As Andrew mentions, it was largely used by the Irish or people who mock or pretend or play an Irish person
It is similar to saying "Jesus!" but may be less provocative, I guess, to Catholics, who have a thing about taking the name of the lord in vain - another expression for you

When you end a sentence with a quotation that is itself a full sentence, do you use the quotation's punctuation? The containing sentence's? Both? Something else?
I think this might be best illustrated with an example. Which of the following is correct?
John asked her "Do you have the time?" She said yes.
John asked her "Do you have the time." She said yes.
John asked her "Do you have the time?." She said yes.
