I hit the sentence:
The ProcessPoolExecutor class is an Executor subclass that uses a pool of processes to execute calls asynchronously.
I was looking for the word pool which means
swimming pool in most cases. So, I'm asking the question: Why we're using in concurrent programming terminology the term
pool of processes and not
list of processes,
set of processes etc. How did the term come into existence? Where is the origin?

Lucy - 09-12-2010, 07:42 PM
Lucy sat by the bed of her dying husband. Some time before, the doctor had left, shutting the door decisively after informing her that there was no hope for her husband's recovery. Lucy had nodded, a single tear rolling down her cheek, before gravely thanking the doctor for all his help in treating her husband's debilitating and mysterious illness. Sometimes, she'd wondered if she had enough strength to get thru another day of this, another day of wondering whether this day would be her husband's last. He'd always pulled thru tho, to spend yet another day and night in fretful anguish.
Lucy's husband had always been demanding, even before they'd married. Lucy would have prefered it if she'd been able to take a few months or even years to live with him, in order to see for herself just how possessive and demanding he was. Sadly, it hadn't worked out that way. Lucy had fallen pregnant and her old fashioned parents had insisted on a wedding. It didn't matter one bit that the child had been stillborn; by then, it was too late to escape. Lucy had by this time found out her husband's true personality; before, hidden before a mask of casual normality.
He'd quizzed Lucy on what she'd done every day, had even rang her up at her work as a florist wanting to know who'd she'd spoken to that day. He didn't believe her when she'd told him that she'd only ever spoken to her collegues, or to customers. He never once hit her, tho sometimes, she'd wished he had. The constant questioning and putdowns were torture of the mental kind, and eventually, they wore her down. Lucy had quit her job and stayed at home to become the kind of dainty obedient housewife that he wanted her to be. Sometimes, she thought of leaving, but she knew that he wouldn't allow her to do this.
Dragged suddenly back to the present by her husband's hacking cough, Lucy took one of his hands in both hers. "Shh, darling," she whispered. "It'll be all over soon, and then you can rest." Soon too, her husband's considerable fortune that he'd been mean with, that he'd never used to buy her presents and was still in his bank account earning interest, would be hers to do with what she pleased.
Lucy felt herself entitled to the money. She hadn't spent her youth in service to this man for nothing. Especially after his latest crime. Lucy, who had managed to forgive her husband for his possessiveness, for his controlling ways, for the way he'd mentally beaten her down and destroyed every single bit of confidence she had, had not been able to forgive this.
Her husband opened his eyes for the last time. He looked at his wife with a considerable effort. "Lucy," he said, his voice hoarse with the effort of speaking. "I must confess to you before I die. I had an affair with your sister."
"I know, dear," Lucy replied. How easy it had all been in the end, with not a single piece of evidence to connect her with her husband's death, not the tiniest whisper of suspicion. "That's why I poisoned you."
I think the following word aptly describes what happened here.
I mean a weapon you hold. You have a gun, Tanith has a sword... I want a stick. ~ Valkyrie Cain
Ill buy you a stick for Christmas. - Skulduggery Pleasant
Love the ending...not quite as dark as I like but still grim enough tho.
Av/Sig set: Lovely Lovie's Blends
I've got a serial story in the works, based on Jack the Ripper. I'll post it when I'm finished with the first chapter. That might be dark, tho I don't like to pile on the gore too much; reminds me of horror movies with too much blood and no plot. XD

This happens when the temperature is coolest often late at night or early in the morning. Few days ago I did night shots and every 4-5 minutes I had to clean filter from water (mist). Is there any (lens safe) facility to stop condensation of moisture on the surface of a lens or a filter, or maybe to slow this process.
I'd like to apologize for the rough render with poor detail. This answer does not use any magic, but rather chemistry!
Heated UV Protection Filter
The lens warmer uses two two fins, each with a hand warmer rubber banded to it to heat the glass element. The heat from the warmers will quickly get the filter element above ambient temperature, at which point it will no longer condense.
Physical Implementation
This would be somewhat difficult to physically implement with the tools commonly available. I would consider using a step up ring and a filter larger than necessary. Then glue the aluminum heating plate to the step up ring, and glue (thermal adhesive please!) the filter on top of the plate. A hole has been previously drilled in the plate to allow light to pass.
The moisture holding capacity of air decreases with decreasing temperature.
Technically, condensation occurs when air with moisture in it is cooled below the point at which the air is able to hold all the moisture that it contains. This is referred to as, not totally surprisingly, the dew point. Very dry air will have a very low dew point. If you can dry the air striking a surface then the surface needs to be very cold relative to the air for condensation to occur.
Theoretically you'd expect that a cold lens introduced into a warm atmosphere would cause condensation, and this is what you see in e.g. tropical butterfly houses when cold cameras meet tropical temperatures. In that case the more enlightened establishments have a warm air blower to heat cameras with on entry. Near instant fix.
In the case of bringing a warm camera into colder air you might expect that the problem would not occur as the warm camera surface would heat the air, increasing its dew point and water carrying capability. Everyone who has taken a warm camera outside on a cold night knows that condensation happens. I looked at several dozen web references on condensation and none adequately explained this effect. Even a USGS school science site did a poor job.
SO there is obviously a complex effect where the combination of energy transfer and air movement results in some of the air falling below its dew point. Experience shows that if temperatures are allowed to equalise the problem vanishes. As equalisation can take several hours, a source of blown air at local ambient temperature is liable to greatly hasten the process.
Here is a typical and excellent example reference on "Cameras, humidity & condensation" where virtually the whole discussion relates to cool equipment in a warm environment.
A clearly explained and elegant explanation of why introducing a camera or other equipment from a warm environment to a cold one results in condensation in an apparently opposite manner to what is expected in theory is given on the site mentioned by @garik on the page Telescope Performance & Cool-Down Vs Dew Heaters. The solution IS a heater, but the reason is worth understanding.
See the above page for details, but in summary
My early cars without A/C taught me that in cold, avoid breathing out anywhere towards glass that should remain transparent. The escaping air has been warmed up your body and reaching a colder surface will trigger the dew point, just like Russell has described in his answer. Blow air out via a corner of mouth if the important surface (like a windshield, or a lens) is straight in front of you. Photography got me hooked me years later, and even running out to take pictures in 40°C / 70°F below room temperature, I've only experienced the problem of foggy lens when forgetting that simple rule.
When looking specifically for a facility, any device directing breath away from camera, e.g. a curtain or a snorkel, would do. But these are not really necessary, just paying attention will do.
When shooting outside in cold temperatures (or even at dawn when the air temperature is close to the dew point, its the warm air inside the lens that is causing the fog.
The solution is simple if you have some time. Put the lens in an air tight plastic bag (a bread loaf bag works for long lenses), seal it up, and take the lens outside for a couple of hours. Let the lens get down to the outside temperature.
Then you can open up the bag, and shoot happily.
Just remember to put the lens back in the bag when you go back into the heated area, to prevent the warm wet air inside the house from condensing on the cold lens.
What I have found:
1) Answer goes from other field: astronomical observation. Phil was right: it should be some heating device. Here is a sample.
2) Super device from DewBuster and hand-made anti-dew system
3) Hand-made without heater (maybe it will work): Anti-Dewer: long tube, horn made from cardboard or plastic, it can be covered from the inside with black barhotom (only natural, it is better artificial), and outside paint matt black car paint for better protection from the elements. Get two in one: Anti-Dewer and blend together. Here is a sample.
4) We can use thin sheets of black foam :)

I am have been spending a good amount of my time to learn how to do design. My friend is a designer and helps out when he can he often comes around and shows me tricks that make things like text and images look "better".
For example:
As we all can agree the second one is clearly sharper and better looking. That being said what subtle techniques do you use to make your art work that much better. I have learnt enough to place the images and components in my design but lacking that subtle touch. Like the simple shadow in my example above.
What subtle techniques do you use? I would love to see the before and after as well!

At the end of my last ride the back brake started rubbing hard on the disc. It almost feels like the brake cable had popped out of the lever. The bike is relatively new to me, and I am not very familiar with disc brakes. I can take it to the shop, but I wanted to be able to fix myself in case it happens again. Any ideas on how to fix, or what caused this? It is a Specialized Epic with Avid brakes.

Ensure the axle is properly placed in the dropout and the quick release is firmly closed. If it's even a little loose, the axle can shift a bit and cause the rotor to be misaligned with the caliper.
The mechanic bleed the lines which fixed the problem. They really didn't know what caused this -- they implied it could have been an issue with manufacturing or assembly.
If your brakes are Avid BB7: I use those on my DH bike. I have had the opposite issue: the brake loosing grip are the end of the ride.
In my case the outboard adjusting knob had been misplaced so it allowed the internal adjusting axle to spin a little. I repositioned the know and noticed it could be easily turned by rubbing it with other things (especially while a bunch of bikes piled together being carried to the top of a DH track). I just have to be careful with that.
However, there are other factors that can affect these and other models of brake, mainly misalignment. Check whether the caliper is centered on the disc and thati it is holding the pads parallel with disc surface. The easiest way to check (at least for me) is to place the bike on a shadowy place and look through the caliper's gap placing a flashlight on the other side. Look alongside the disc surface (so you just see its border) and examine the disc-pad gap. (As other answer mentions, first check that the entire wheel is properly attached, aligned and tightened)
It should be approximately 0.5 mm on the outboard pad (this is the one that actually moves when you actuate the lever), For the inboard pad (the static one) it should be as close as possible without touching the disc.
Aside from the caliper being properly aligned and the holding bolts being properly tightened, that should be enough. I'm assuming you have no cable issues here, I don't know your particular bike but check if no part of the cable is hooked in a part where it shouldn't and that all housing stops are properly seated.
A relatively easy way of aligning the caliper (actually described more precisely on avid manuals) is to loosen the holding bolts just enough for the caliper to move freely. Squeeze the corresponding brake lever and while holding it down, tighten the bolts again. Check and repeat if necessary, but usually one or two attempts are all it takes. The only one thing some manuals do not mention is: Make sure that anything is pushing or pulling the caliper! Sometimes the cable-housing assembly pulls the caliper out of alignment when this procedure is performed (it happened to me on a 2003 SantaCruz Bullit) I just pull the housing to a position where this effect is lessened.

State fines Ozaukee County for violating asbestos rules
Port Washington - Ozaukee County has paid $4,665 in fines to the state Department of Justice to resolve two citations for violating state asbestos removal regulations, county officials said Thursday.
The county failed to notify the state Department of Natural Resources last year that it would be demolishing eight buildings at the county fairgrounds off Washington Ave. in Cedarburg, according to one citation issued May 23 by DNR environmental Warden Christopher Shea.
In a citation issued on May 22 of this year, Shea says the county failed to inspect each of the buildings for asbestos before demolition work began. »Read Full Article(6)
Sentence in fetal abduction case: Life without parole
As the jet back to Puerto Rico for a funeral broke through the clouds, Christian Mercado's daughter asked him: If Mommy was in heaven, why couldn't she see her?
It was but a sample of what Mercado said he's grappled with since his wife and nearly born son were killed last year by Annette Morales-Rodriguez, who kidnapped, beat and strangled the young mother before cutting her full-term fetus from her body, with the intent of passing the child off as her own baby.
He shared the anecdote with Milwaukee County Circuit Judge David Borowski at Morales-Rodriguez's sentencing Thursday. The judge later noted that the defendant "didn't even bat an eye" as Mercado spoke. »Read Full Article

"I'm frankly embarrassed that it's taken so long," Abele said. »Read Full Article(22)
SDC weatherization program under budget
The Social Development Commission's $6.3 million weatherization program is running $1 million under budget, which means the agency might have to return the money to the state and lose $125,000 in administrative costs, finance director Bill Koch said Thursday.
To try to keep from accumulating a surplus, Koch asked the commission's human resources committee to consider an incentive program for the weatherization staff to try to increase production and get projects in the pipeline sooner so that more units can be completed by June when the grant year ends.
But commissioners of the anti-poverty agency balked at the idea of providing incentive pay for one set of employees at a time when the agency has a hiring freeze. They also said the entire program needs a thorough examination. »Read Full Article(10)

Judge holds off on ruling on Chippewa deer hunt
Madison - Attorneys for Wisconsin's Chippewa bands tried to persuade a federal judge Thursday to let tribal hunters go after deer at night, arguing their people would have to meet tougher safety standards than night wolf hunters.
The attorneys told U.S. District Judge Barbara Crabb during a hearing that shining spotlights on deer is safer than shining on wolves, older wolf hunters don't have to meet any training requirements and tribal night deer hunters would have to pass a strenuous marksmanship test.
State attorneys fought back by insisting night deer hunting is far riskier than going after wolves in the dark. »Read Full Article(17)

Video recorders in police cars failing at 'unacceptable rates'
The digital video recorders installed on many Milwaukee Police Department squad cars are experiencing unacceptable rates of failure and will have to be replaced.
As a result, the Common Council will consider at its next meeting a plan to spend up to $900,000 to replace the devices in 136 squad cars. The money is coming out of the council's contingency fund.
The surprising disclosure comes as videos from those devices have played a critical role in at least two recent cases involving alleged police misconduct. »Read Full Blog Post(32)
West Allis driver gets 18 months for fatal hit-and-run
A 32-year-old West Allis man was sentenced Thursday to 18 months in prison for driving over a woman in the street without stopping, killing her and indirectly leading to a second fatal crash that same night.
Milwaukee County Circuit Judge Ellen Brostrom on Thursday added five years of extended supervision to Jesse R. Steinmetz's prison term. While on supervision, Steinmetz must undergo drug and alcohol assessment, maintain absolute sobriety and perform 200 hours of community service that includes at least 10 public appearances to talk about drinking and driving.
Steinmetz pleaded no contest in October to homicide by negligent operation of a motor vehicle. He had originally been charged with hit-and-run causing death. »Read Full Article(11)
Obamacare will cost Wisconsin more than it saves, secretary says
The state health secretary told Congress on Thursday that Wisconsin will pay more for its health care programs for the needy under the looming federal health care law but doesn't have hard financial figures yet on his claim.
Dennis Smith, the point man on health care for Gov. Scott Walker's administration, argued that the federal law commonly called Obamacare will cost Wisconsin taxpayers more than it will save through an expansion of joint state and federal Medicaid health programs for the poor.
That's because it won't provide enough additional reimbursement to the state to cover the full number of people who will sign up for programs such as BadgerCare Plus in 2014, said Smith, secretary of the state Department of Health Services. In testimony before a health subcommittee of the Energy and Commerce Committee in the Republican-controlled U.S. House of Representatives, Smith said the federal law will also raise the administrative costs of running Medicaid and determining who is eligible for it.
Supporters of the health care law responded that Smith is ignoring both cost savings of the law and its benefits to the state's uninsured citizens and health care providers. (147)

Shooter gets life sentence in robbery-revenge-arson plot
A 31-year-old man was sentenced to life in prison Thursday for the murder of a man found dead inside a burning house, the victim of a robbery and romantic revenge plot.
Marlon Booker, 39, had been shot several times when his body was discovered Feb. 8 in the basement of an unoccupied house in the 4900 block of N. 49th St.
Four people were charged in March with plotting the crime just three days earlier, during the Super Bowl. Tommie Lee Hollis, the shooter, suspected that his girlfriend, Tamyra Smith, who was renting a house from Booker for $19 a month, was seeing him romantically while Hollis was in jail last fall. »Read Full Article

Brewers not talking with Marcum
Brewers general manager Doug Melvin just told me that he has not talked with free-agent pitcher Shaun Marcum about a possible return to Milwaukee.
I touched base with Melvin because Marcum said during an interview on XM Radio with Jim Bowden on Wednesday that the door was still open to returning to the Brewers. I wondered if that meant the Brewers had reciprocal interest but Melvin said, "I haven't given it much thought."
"We haven't talked to his agent (Rex Gary)," said Melvin. 'It's nice to know he'd consider (returning), but we haven't talked about it. With most free agents, we give them the chance to go out and test the market. »Read Full Blog Post(121)

McClendon signs with Rockies
Reliever Mike McClendon, who had become something of a human yo-yo in recent years, bouncing up and down from Class AAA Nashville to Milwaukee, has signed a minor-league deal with the Colorado Rockies.
McClendon, 27, had been with the Brewers since being selected in the 10th round of the 2006 draft. Over the last three seasons, he appeared in 35 games with the Brewers, going 5-0 with a 3.88 ERA.
Last year, McClendon struggled in three short stints with the Brewers, posting a 6.43 ERA in nine appearances. He allowed 20 hits and 10 earned runs in 14 innings, with five walks and four strikeouts.
No longer on the Brewers' 40-man roster, McClendon signed with the Rockies as a minor-league free agent. (7)

Golden Globe nominations for TV and film
The Golden Globes for film and television were announced Thursday, confirming that awards season is upon us.
Although the Hollywood Foreign Press Association, the group that hands them out, is regarded as a joke whose votes are easily influenced, their awards are taken somewhat seriously by studios, which use them as a marketing and promotional tool.
It also is one of the few times TV and film types mingle together and drinks are served at the ceremonies, creating a party atmosphere. This year's awards show, on Jan. 13, will be hosted by Tina Fey and Amy Poehler. »Read Full Blog Post(1)

5 Reasons Bowser Is The Most Successful Video Game Character
The Mario cast changes less than the law of gravity. They're the most popular video game characters of all time and remain the reason 99 percent of all defeated video game enemies have footprints instead of haircuts. In Mario, Nintendo has the sort of brand identity Steve Jobs could only dream of, because you sure as hell wouldn't buy iGolf.
Or Dr. Jobs.
As a consequence, Bowser and Mario have been going at it for 25 years, longer than most real wars last. Figuring it was probably time somebody honored their eternal antagonism by checking the scoreboard, we dug in for the long, pedantic process of picking a winner in a fictional conflict. What we got instead was the story of the most depressingly one-sided rivalry in the history of not just video games, but possibly the world.
#5. Job Satisfaction
The plot of Super Mario Bros. is essentially the tale of one long real estate struggle, as Bowser attempts to take over the Mushroom Kingdom and Mario shows up way too late to prevent him from doing so. Despite forming the kingdom's entire defense force, Mario rarely hears about an invasion until after Bowser has had enough time to build a series of castles. Archaeologists have responded to invasions faster. At a certain point, Mario has to feel less like a hero than a Rascal Scooter -- prolonging the lives of thousands of terminally mushy creatures who would have been no match for evolution if left to their own devices.
"At least Bowser makes the trains run on time."
While Mario is always in crisis mode, Bowser's motives seem to oscillate between good old-fashioned land lust and not having anything better to do on a Sunday. One of the few times Mario arrives early enough to see Bowser make off with the Princess (Super Mario Galaxy 2) was when it was such an incredibly minor part of the plan, Bowser was clearly doing it just to piss Mario off. And when you can mount a planetary assault just to shout "Screw You!," you're winning so hard the scoreboard turns into a diamond.
The instant Bowser wants the kingdom, he has it -- his life is what the God of the Old Testament would wish for if he was given a magic lantern from the spirit of Alexander the Great. He just sits back on his throne of fire and watches Mario scamper through the obstacle course that he designed. Hell, some of the time, he probably stages an invasion just because there's nothing good on TV.
"It's this or No Ordinary Family."
#4. Personal Life
Mario's the most recognizable family-friendly hero this side of Mickey Mouse, yet he's fighting to defend his home against a villain who is better at that as well. Bowser has a bigger family than Catholic sumo wrestlers, while the most famous hero in gaming is a 40-something bachelor, presumably still living knee-deep in mushroom pizza boxes, since we know he doesn't own more than one set of clothes. There are college students more mature than him -- at least they don't have to gather coins on their way to meet their girlfriends.
And all those gold stars take up an obnoxious amount of shelf space.
We know Bowser's home life has to be good, because even in the most annoying embodiments of the "rebellious teenager phase" possible, Bowser Jr. and the Koopalings still hang out with their father, learning the family trade. We never see his wife, probably for the same reason that Tony never brought Carmela along when he was staging a gangland takeover. Bowser keeps the woman he loves safe from harm and out of the games.
"My husband is a garbage-man!"
The closest thing that Mario has to a stable relationship is the perpetually kidnapped Peach. While the game presents her prolonged disappearances as something between a shell game and a hostage situation, she's never as thankful as you'd hope when you rescue her.
Meanwhile, she's perfectly happy to race Go-Karts against Bowser. Their continual kidnapping/getting rescued game of cat-and-mouse seems more flirtatious than anything. In the real world, after the third time a woman disappears with the same man, either common sense or the police usually tell you to stop filing missing-person reports, let alone smash up his place trying to get her back.
So Bowser's got Mario's girl and a Mrs. Bowser somewhere tending a beautiful three-bedroom castle. Mario has the worst job in the world, and in his downtime, he's a lonely plumber.
#3. Learning From Mistakes
You can't blame Mario for having less natural talent than Bowser. He's just a tiny plumber in a magical world where both flora and fauna are deadly to the touch. Bowser, on the other hand, is made of spikes and flame in a world where those are the most unavoidable causes of death. He's also apparently the master of industrial-level technology, while Mario relies on druid-level flowers and mushrooms for weaponry.
When your enemies have giant airships, you may want slightly more power than a fox tail provides.
When you've got that much going against you, the only way to even the odds is to adapt on the fly and innovate new strategies in the face of defeat. The good guys in the Mario Bros. universe are more like a man called "Lefty" having another try at unblocking that garbage disposal. They're so bad at learning important lessons from their mistakes that they make the bad guys from G.I. Joe look like the good guys from G.I. Joe. Defending the Mushroom Kingdom should not be hard: It's a magical kingdom of unlimited fantasy where stars are cute, flowers grant magical abilities and everything with a shell is trying to kill you.
All they would have to do is station guards at every entrance and give them very simple instructions: If someone trying to enter the mushroom kingdom has a shell, he's not allowed in. Just stop him, turn him around and get ready to do it again in 30 seconds when he bounces off something else and comes back. That's not racial profiling; that's common sense. This is a land so easy to defend that even TSA agents could manage it.
For the 40,058th time, TURN AROUND, SIR!
Bowser, meanwhile, has learned every lesson the games have to give him -- and those lessons are all "Have a party, buddy!"
