STEUBENVILLE - He grew up on Wells Street in the city's South End, the son of a housekeeper and a steelworker.
According to Dawn Vincent, her father Edward Vincent Jr. never had enough to eat and "was pretty much raised by his father's family."
"As a small boy he developed his lifelong love of horses by walking thoroughbreds at a local race track.

THE VINCENTS — Edward and Mary Vincent are shown in a December 2011 photo. Edward met his future wife while they were both attending the University of Iowa. The Vincents were married for more than 55 years. -- Contributed
But the scrawny kid who was called "Punkin" by his friends developed a love for sports, a loyalty to his friends and a love for his hometown that lasted forever.
After college Vincent was drafted into the Army and later was drafted by the Los Angeles Rams professional football team.
Vincent, one of the Steubenville Trio who starred in several sports at Steubenville High School with Calvin Jones and Frank Gilliam and then accepted a football scholarship at the University of Iowa with Jones and Gilliam, died Aug. 31 in California at the age of 78.
"Eddie was always smaller than the rest of us. We called him 'Punkin' because he was so small. But he was a tough kid. Some people would pick on him because he was small but they never did it again. He was small until the summer between his junior and senior years in high school when he grew about 5 or 6 inches and developed muscles," recalled Gilliam.
"We grew up in 'the bottom,' which is gone now. It was down by the steel mill entrance gates. And we were all close," added Gilliam.
"I never knew anyone like Eddie. I knew him for more than 70 years. We lived in the same neighborhood since we were 4 or 5. We were always together. We were three guys who liked the same things. We had the same ideas about things. We always did everything together. We discussed issues but never argued. In later years we could go three or four years without seeing each other, but once we were together it was like we had seen each other the day before," continued Gilliam.
"I broke my leg while playing football at Iowa and spent an extra eligible year there after Eddie and Calvin graduated. That was the first time we were ever separated. We grew up with a desire to be successful. We wanted to be successful in whatever we did. One way we could be successful was through sports. We never thought about sports as a way out of the neighborhood. It was a way to be successful in something and that's what everyone wants," explained Gilliam.
Bill Kerr, who played two years with Vincent on the Big Red football team, said his friend "was just like the rest of us. None of us had a lot of money."
"Punkin accomplished a lot in his life. His family should be very proud of him. He was a very well respected person," said Kerr.
"He was one of my childhood heroes," noted city resident Pete Barren. "I was a bat boy for the American Legion baseball team when Eddie played for coach Ang Vacarro. And later my dad took me to the Ohio State versus Iowa football games in Columbus to see the three guys from Steubenville High School. I was just a little kid but he always smiled and said hi to me.
"I was on the Steubenville board of education in 1984 when Eddie was the commencement speaker. It was held in the school auditorium that year because of the weather and I remember him being very excited and very enthusiastic. He was very good with the kids," Barren recalled.
Vincent began his political career when he was elected to the Inglewood Unified School District's Board of Trustees. From there he moved on to the Inglewood Council from 1979 to 1983.
In 1983, Vincent began his term as the first African-American mayor of the city of Inglewood and was re-elected for three additional terms. He also served as commissioner of the State of California World Trade Commission.
Vincent served as a member of the California State Assembly from 1996 until 2000, when he was elected to the California State Senate. He left the Senate in 2008 due to term limits.
Patty West of Steubenville said she was "about seven or eight when I first noticed Punkin and Frank with my cousin Calvin Jones. They were always together. Even after Calvin was killed in the 1956 airplane crash Punkin and Frank stayed in regular touch with my grandmother until she died.
"Punkin always came back to Steubenville for visits. And he usually came back during the football season so he could see his Big Red football team. He was a real gentleman. When he came home he would rent a place where everyone could get together to socialize. He never forgot where he came from. And when he was here he always talked to the kids about going to college," according to West.
"I knew my father more as the politician than a sports hero. Inglewood was going through a racial transition when he was first elected mayor and he played a part in that transition. He was a firecracker and a mover and a shaker," Valerie Vincent Taylor said.
"He was a good leader, and if you ever met him, you liked him. In California he was known as the mayor and later on as the senator. But there are a few Steubenville transplants living here who still called him Punkin. I know he always held Steubenville in the highest regard. He was spoke well of the community, his coaches and his friends there. He was very proud of being from Steubenville," Taylor said.
"Those were great days in Inglewood. And my father was a leader. He enjoyed working with people," Taylor said.
Her younger sister Dawn Vincent said her father was "always a fighter."
"He was someone who had fought hard in life and he always fought for the underdog. He was a scrappy guy who would not tolerate anyone being bullied or abused. I think he was small at a young age because he never had enough to eat. Later on in high school Coach Vacarro and some of the people at the high school looked after him and made sure he was eating right," she remarked.
"His three favorite places were Steubenville, the University of Iowa and Inglewood. Many of his stories focused on growing up in Steubenville. Anyone who had a conversation with my dad knew he was from Steubenville, Ohio," commented Vincent.
"He believed he had the right to go to college and to be successful in life. And he worked hard in everything he did," added Vincent.
"My dad was shooting baskets one day in the fieldhouse at Iowa when he was introduced to an athletic, red haired farm girl named Marilyn Williams. She was working her way through college and that chance meeting would lead to a lifelong love affair and a marriage that spanned 55 years," explained Vincent.
"Punkin was one of a kind. I remember a lot of stories about him. He was my friend and I will miss him," stated Gilliam.

Red Zone Notes: Seymour's Hink makes terrific play
It may go down as the Jaffman's "Defensive Play of the Year." It will have to be considered at year's end, at the very least. Either way, you have to tip your hat to Seymour defensive tackle Dan Hink.
In Wednesday's 24-21 loss at Amity, Hink deflected down Amity QB David Ryan's swing pass with his right hand just enough to keep it about four feet off the ground and grabbed it before the ball hit the ground for a terrific interception in the second quarter.
On the first play after the interception, Seymour tailback Joey Salemme bolted off tackle for a 64-yard TD run, his second of three scores for the night, thanks to a block by junior Brandon Otero. Frankie Marcucio's second PAT of the game gave the Wildcats a 14-0 edge.
Amity went on to score 24 unanswered points before Salemme's third TD with 9:5 left in the game.
Safety first: Because of the heat and muggy conditions Wednesday, the New Haven board officials assigned to the Seymour-Amity game in Woodbridge told both head coaches during warmups that there would be a mandatory water break at the 6:00 mark of each period. The public address announcer called it a "hydration break."
Gridiron notes: There were a long special moment before the kickoff in honor of the victims of 9-11.
Earlier, Amity athletic director Paul Mengold introduced former Seymour statistician John "Raven" Commune to the crowd before the game. Commune was the Wildcats' stat man for four decades and stepped down after the 2012 season. The press box at DeBarber Field is named after Commune, a high school classmate of legendary Seymour coach Paul Sponheimer, who retired after the 2008 season.
Former Amity head coach Bill Johnson was honored, also. This marks the 35th anniversary of Johnson's 1978 team that captured the 1978 CIAC Class LL title with a 35-20 win over Ansonia and legendary coach Bill McAllister. The entire 1978 team will join the Amity Hall of Fame ceremony later this fall.
Johnson's son is John Johnson, a longtime assistant coach at Seymour, who graduated from Amity in 1986, the year Bill Johnson stepped down as head coach. Current Ansonia offensive line coach Len "Butch" Marazzi succeeded Bill Johnson as the Spartans' head coach ... Amity and Seymour hadn't played a football game since the mid-1990s. The Wildcats formerly were in the Housatonic League with Amity before joining the Naugatuck Valley League. The last time Amity beat Seymour was in 1990.

Free - 2 Pack - Knit Earflap Winter Hats and $5 Gift Card for $0 + $4.99 unlimited sitewide shipping
coupon code: ThankYouHat
Yeah, that's gonna impress everyone in the coffee shop for sure.
9 Comments add a comment
I got this deal last year... they are well constructed and fit extremely snug. The only downside was the initial odor which was a bit chemical-esque. The Chinese putting chemicals in them that will sway us to buy more cheap crap perhaps?
Oh well, 4.5 out of 5 stars for this deal IMO.
random color? or do you get to pick?
I pick up deals like this all year long and then donate to Health Care For The Homeless when cold weather arrives. Besides these hats and ear muffs from another site, I bought lots of knit hats and gloves for 50¢ a piece when Walmart closed them out last spring. They aren't fancy, but I figure every layer counts.
I just came over to check out Deals Woot, and already found something awesome! I bought a bunch of stuff in addition to the knit hats; jump start on X-Mas shopping, woohoo!
@jamesbottomtooth: I just bought them, and I did not get to choose the color.
Why does the site say $4.99 unlimited sitewide shipping but then also say, "Shipping for ENTIRE order is never more than $9.99!"
Seems to me that unlimited should mean as much as you order.
@gionot: Great idea! I'm going to order a few to do just that.
@cengland0: That is the standard wording. If you do not put the code in for this one, you do not get the flat rate shipping and the $5 emailed later. (Discovered last year when I had a different code and used that instead.)
i bought it when it came out.... but where's my $5 gift card/code???

News Release (Back to Menu)
Clinical Professor Penny Venetis to Argue for Jama Plaintiffs in Human Rights Trial Set to Begin on Sept. 26
Penny Venetis, clinical professor of law at Rutgers School of Law–Newark and co-director of the Rutgers Constitutional Litigation Clinic, will present opening arguments today in the first case to apply international human rights standards to a U.S. corporation for events that took place on U.S. soil. Jama et al. v. Esmor Correctional Services, Inc. will be heard in Newark by Senior District Judge Dickinson R. Debevoise, U.S. District Court for the District of New Jersey. Opening arguments will begin at 11 am on Wednesday.
The plaintiffs represented by Venetis and the Rutgers clinic are nine political asylum seekers who, while awaiting processing of their asylum claims in an Elizabeth, NJ detention center run by Esmor, were subjected to horrific physical and psychological abuse. "Our clients have waited 12 long years for their day in court," said Venetis. "It is now time to hold the Esmor Corporation and the individuals who worked there accountable for abusing and degrading these nine men and women."
The plaintiffs will seek to establish that they endured cruel, inhuman, or degrading treatment as those terms are defined under international law. In a landmark 2004 decision, Judge Debevoise ruled that abuses committed in the U.S. against political asylum seekers can be prosecuted as human rights violations under customary international law using the 1789 statute, the Alien Tort Claims Act. Judge Debevoise has also ruled that the jury may apply the international law doctrine of command responsibility, which imposes liability on superiors, such as Esmor and its officers, when they know or should have known about subordinates' violations of international law but fail to prevent or remedy the violations. In addition, Venetis will present evidence that the plaintiffs' rights under the Religious Freedom Restoration Act were violated and that the defendants negligently hired, retained, supervised, and trained the guards at the Elizabeth detention facility.
The abuse against the Jama plaintiffs took place in 1994 and 1995. They have been represented since 1996 by Constitutional Litigation Clinic faculty and students.

If I want to write "Thanks for reminding me" in a formal e-mail, which is best:
Danke für die Erinnerung.
Danke, dass du mich daran erinnerst.
Danke, dass du mich daran erinnert hast.
Or is there another better phrase for this?
If I want to write "Thanks for reminding me" in a formal e-mail, which is best:
Or is there another better phrase for this?
While "best" is subjective and depends on the circumstances, all your examples are correct and idiomatic.
Although, since you mentioned it's a formal e-mail, you probably wouldn't address the recipient with Du. It is appropriate only for private correspondence and if you are on first name terms.
So in a formal context, either address with "Sie" or omit it completely, which would make "Danke/Vielen Dank für die Erinnerung" my choice.
They all are ok. It depends though what you want to say.
Is a bit too short to be formal. So it sounds a bit "pissed".
Vielen Dank, dass Sie mich daran erinnern.
Vielen Dank, dass Sie mich daran erinnert haben.
The last two are more or less equal, but I'd go for the second.
This adds a widely used maybe little more relaxed variant that can also be used in a business setting:
Even though "Danke" is missing this is polite as by using "gut" you add the connotation that the reminder had a beneficial effect ("Danke" alone does not say so). To emphasis this further you can also write "Sehr gut, dass...".

Simple Horizontal Flow Layout
I just spent two hours trying to figure out a seemingly simple thing. I wanted to layout widgets dynamically into rows, where each row can hold multiple widgets. The problem is, I do not necessarily know the size of the widgets and the way they are layed-out. I started off with an outer VeritcalLayoutContainer and and multiple inner HBoxLayoutContainers. This however does not work if the widget to be put into the HBoxLayoutContainer is not properly sized.
Anyways, in the end I wrote a container similar to FlowLayoutContainer but which uses floats to layout its children horizontally. So .. here it is.
import com.google.gwt.dom.client.Style.Display; import com.google.gwt.dom.client.Style.VerticalAlign; import com.google.gwt.user.client.ui.Widget; import com.sencha.gxt.widget.core.client.container.FlowLayoutContainer; public class DwHorizontalFlowLayoutContainer extends FlowLayoutContainer { protected VerticalAlign verticalAlign = VerticalAlign.TOP; public DwHorizontalFlowLayoutContainer() { super(); } @Override protected void onInsert(int index, Widget child) { super.onInsert(index, child); child.getElement().getStyle().setDisplay(Display.INLINE_BLOCK); child.getElement().getStyle().setVerticalAlign(verticalAlign); } public void setVerticalAlign(VerticalAlign verticalAlign) { this.verticalAlign = verticalAlign; } public VerticalAlign getVerticalAlign() { return verticalAlign; } }
18 Sep 2012 9:08 AM #2
You mean like CssFloatLayoutContainer?
Also, GXT has Style.Display and Style.Orientation so you don't have to use the GWT counterparts:
18 Sep 2012 10:53 PM #3
I haven't really looked into this but at least for me CssFloatLayoutContainer did not display any of the widgets inside. I assume that at some level it assumes its children to be directly sized.
19 Sep 2012 9:20 AM #4
I've never had any issue with CssFloatLayoutContainer. If you don't specify a width, it will use the actual width of the widget being added.
If you're not seeing the widgets at all, something else is going on. Try this example, can you see all 3 widgets?
public class CssFloatLayoutTest implements EntryPoint{ @Override public void onModuleLoad() { CssFloatLayoutContainer container = new CssFloatLayoutContainer(); container.add(new TextField()); container.add(new TextButton("A Button!")); container.add(new HTML("A Label!")); ContentPanel cp = new ContentPanel(); cp.setWidth(500); cp.setHeight(500); cp.setWidget(container); RootPanel.get().add(cp); } }
20 Sep 2012 11:25 PM #5
Try adding something in an HBoxLayoutContainer. It will not be displayed. The difference is that HBoxLayoutContainer uses an absolute layout inside.

I won't say yet that you haven't found a bug, Colin and I are looking into this. In the mean time, give your HBox LC a width when adding it and it will work. Here's the code:
public class CssFloatLayoutTest implements EntryPoint { @Override public void onModuleLoad() { CssFloatLayoutContainer container = new CssFloatLayoutContainer(); container.add(new TextField()); container.add(new TextButton("A Button!")); container.add(new HTML("A Label!")); HBoxLayoutContainer hblc = new HBoxLayoutContainer(HBoxLayoutContainer.HBoxLayoutAlign.MIDDLE); hblc.add(new TextButton("Another Button"), new BoxLayoutContainer.BoxLayoutData(new Margins(5))); hblc.add(new HTML("Another Label"), new BoxLayoutContainer.BoxLayoutData(new Margins(5))); container.add(hblc, new CssFloatLayoutContainer.CssFloatData(200.0d)); ContentPanel cp = new ContentPanel(); cp.setWidth(500); cp.setHeight(500); cp.setWidget(container); RootPanel.get().add(cp); } }
26 Oct 2012 12:27 PM #7
We've modified the wiring of the HBoxLayoutContainer so that it responds better in cases like this - this is available in SVN and will be in the next release.
The issue discussed in this thread is one of two fixes that went into this - it turns out that even when you assign a size to the HBox container, it still won't show up correctly if it starts out in a non-visible tab in a TabPanel or card in a CardLayoutContainer. This too has been resolved.
Thanks for your patience, and for giving us the great test case to further improve the library.
One issue you will still find - the HBoxLayoutContainer tries to build an overflow menu for content that doesnt fit, and by default it only knows how to handle menus, buttons, and fields. As a result, the HTML widget doesn't show up correctly

Alcohol Use and Carcinoid
Last Modified: January 7, 2013
Can a person with carcinoid drink alcohol?
Nevena Damjanov, MD, Medical Oncologist at Penn Medicine responds.
Alcohol is not recommended for people who have underlying liver disease, or people who are receiving active treatment of their carcinoid. In people who had all of their disease removed, an occasional drink may be well tolerated.

Right to vanish/en
|English · العربية · català · Deutsch · English · español · français · 日本語 · português · русский
The Right to vanish was first proposed on MeatBall; see MeatBall:RightToVanish. The principle it embodies is that contributors leaving a project permanently may have any personal contributions unrelated to the core mission of the project removed.[1] It is similar to the WikiMindWipe, but far less reaching. In the context of the Wikimedia Foundation, the term was first used on ENWP, where it became a customary courtesy before the formation of the Foundation. (See Wikipedia:Courtesy vanishing).
Like ENWP, most other Wikimedia projects tolerate the "vanishing" of users who wish to leave permanently. The term is a misnomer in that it is not a "right" or guarantee but rather a courtesy extended to valued contributors who wish to leave. Since contributions are made under the GFDL or CC-BY-SA, which provide an irrevocable license, there is no basis in law or contract for contributors to remove either content they have contributed or attribution for the same.
How a request to vanish may be fulfilled[edit]
- Usernames - Usernames cannot normally be deleted, but can sometimes be changed. Even if this is done, it may still be possible to link your new and old names with a minimal degree of work.
- Work on the project - Your work, including "signatures" (text indicating your authorship of comments) on all but your own user and talk pages, will usually not be changed or removed. To change these would be a major source of disruption. Individual revisions of individual pages that contain personally identifying information may be oversighted instead.
- User and talk pages, and their subpages, and other non-article pages that no others have substantively contributed to and whose existence does not impact the project, may be courtesy blanked or deleted.
- Logs - Administrative and editorial logs showing matters you have been involved with, during your career as an editor, such as your edit history on other pages, will usually remain accessible under your old name.
Related matters discussed in more detail below include: making a clean start, removal of personal information from public viewing, and other actions you can take.
Personal information and its removal[edit]
Definition: "Personal information" typically includes, but is not limited to, name, address, telephone number, precise date of birth, instant messenger contact details, photograph, appearance, food tastes, personal views, and similar details of an individual person.
Two policies govern personal information. Individuals in their role as editors, contributors and readers of Wikimedia projects, should refer to the privacy policy. Information on individuals forming part of an encyclopedia article, are subject to the policy on biographies of living people. "Right to vanish" relates specifically to the former.
- The Wikimedia projects will delete personal information about editors and contributors (most likely on user and user talk pages) at their request, provided it is not needed for administrative reasons (which are generally limited to dealing with site misuse issues).
- Personal information related to encyclopedia articles and persons mentioned therein are not covered by "Right to Vanish". Instead, please see the relevant editorial policy on biographical articles, which contains full details of editorial directives, and actions to take if dissatisfied.
Alternative measures[edit]
In general, involuntary disclosure of personal information is dealt with via oversight; there is no need to vanish unless the publicly known information is sufficiently notorious and accessible that oversight is no protection.
Also usernames can often be changed, subject to broad conditions and processes.
If you have used your real name, or a longstanding pen name, on Wikimedia projects then in principle everything you write can be traced to that name, and thus to you, as discussed above. However, if you decide to leave Wikimedia projects, there are a few steps that you can take to weaken that connection. They are:
- Change your username to some other name, one which is not directly associated with you (see Changing username).
- Change references to your former username to be referenced to your replacement username (you can do this yourself).
- Delete your existing user and user talk subpages (contact an administrator).
- While logged in under your old username, create new user and user talk pages for your old account, containing a brief note indicating that you have left Wikimedia projects and asking that people not refer to you by your name.
Be aware that any edits or posts you make, will appear in page history under the account you used at the time. Therefore take care with your login name usage, and be very careful not to edit your old pages or pages you habitually visit, when you are logged in with a name you do not want associated with that account.
- ↑ What is deemed to be related to the vision of various projects is left to local discretion, but typically involves a project's informational content rather than its maintenance/administrative side.

.69 Cents - MP3 Songs - Over 300 Classic Rock Songs
15 Comments add a comment
If you are going for Value, you can get Peter Frampton's "Do you feel like I do", that's almost 7 minutes of music for 69 cents.......
Don't forget "Paradise By The Dashboard Light" at 8-1/2 minutes.
Lot of good stuff there!
Don't forget about Stairway to Heaven or even American Pie!
@mkentosh: Bad memories of this song. Dorm neighbors played it SOOOOOOO loudly the walls literally shook.
Compared to the regular price of 99 cents, 0.69 cents is steal!
Also there is Queen ...FLASH! -- AH AH!
69 cents for a song called "Blowin' in the Wind." I feel like there just HAS to be a joke there somewhere.
Okay, so. 80s-era rock is "Classic." Painful, but I can see that.
90s-era Lenny Kravitz is neither Classic nor Rock...discuss.
Thanks OP!
@bunfun: There were certainly songs that I wouldn't even classify as rock, let alone classic rock, but some people aren't that particular.
What kills me is Poison - Every rose has it's thorn listed as number three. Seriously? I know there are others that shouldn't be there either. I am not even hating on the song - BUT - classic rock song?????
okay it's legit.....war pigs... is there
I already own all of these. :(
"Waiting for a Girl Like You" is in twicw at 148 and 151
@gholt121: I'm surprised there are people left who don't own these on CD, Cassette or Vinyl.

I use Listhings in my browser to make sticky notes and remind myself about stuff.
I am looking for an app/group of desktop apps for the same purposes.
What I want the app to be like:
- Desktop app with online sync and online apps
- Full-screen or an easy-to-access 2nd desktop on which I can post sticky notes
- The ability to set reminders
- Something similar to Listhings(above) but desktop-based, not within the browser, and with the ability to set reminders and timers on notes/todos.
Do you know of such app? Or something similar ?
What do you use in this area?

i just started playing Ragnarok Online on a retail Brasilian Server ( Hosted by LevelUpGames ).
After talking to some friends that play RO i decided to start in
Way of Knights playstyle.
My aim is to play with Pikes after "reseting" (or whatever you guys may call it).
Since i just started and my level is Base 19, i need some tips.
1 - Whats the Mobs Level Difference i should aim when leveling ? (EG: Fight Mobs that are 10 Levels Above mine ? ). I know there is a table that explains the bonus [here][1] but i can't handle by myself
2 - People say that i must level as a two handed sword Knight, using AGI,DEX and STR as my main attribs. Is it that faster to level that way instead of leveling using pikes ?
3 - Where can i find decent gear/weapons while leveling ? Is there any spot that i might visit to get some gear before a certain level ?
4 - Are Knights with Pikes, good for PvP or Two Handed Swords ones are Better ?
Extra-Question: When is Ragnarok Online 2 Going Public ?
These are my questions,sorry to get them all together in a single Thread.
Thanks in advance for everyone :D

I can tell you about my experience, which started as a simple geographer, trying to use GIS products to do spatial analysis.
As I said, I'm a geographer, and from the beginning in college I started working with GIS as a user. After that, I started to research on how to automate tedious tasks I had to do often. That came as passion, and after 3 three years, I'm employed by a multinational software house, that works with many GIS systems and developing custom solutions.
My steps were:
Assuming you already have the GIS side of things covered (cartographic principles, etc), I would first take a trip to http://www.w3schools.com/ - Run through the tutorials in HTML, Javascript, XML, etc
Then you have a number of different platforms to choose from.
I am a bit biased towards ESRI, and I would recommend starting off by playing about the APIs
- Running through the concepts/samples gives you a real sense of what you can achieve.
There is also plenty of videos, take a look at this years dev conference videos Id recommend An Overview of the ArcGIS APIs for JavaScript, Best Practices for Designing Effective Map Services, Redesigning Desktop Applications for the Web and Using the ArcGIS Server REST API.
Which web platform would you choose? Id ignore looking at the WebADF (Java/NET) as this is going to get phased out.
Who are your clients? what browsers will they be using? Can they install Silverlight or Flash plugins? Do you have any IDEs to develop in? e.g Flex is best in FlashBuilder ($$) but you could also use FlashDevelop which is an open source alternative.
Are you more comfortable with established technologies or emerging technologies?
Weigh up the risks.
Both Silverlight and Flex have more interactivity out-of-the box, where as Javascript makes up for this gap by relying on the Dojo.Framework.
The big difference in functionality between Web ADFs and Web APIs is the fact that ArcGIS Web APIs are entirely client-side.
I will leave someone else to give a less-ESRI specific answer, but the obvious choice is to start having a play with the Google Maps API - There are plenty of resources/tutorials for learning this.
Know your way around databases. Any GIS developer will use them extensively.
Most notably:
OpenLayers seems to be by far the most referenced and used library. It has pretty good documentation and examples, and you can find some tutorials, for example here. BostonGIS pages will be useful for you here as well, not only for OpenLayers stuff.
Depending on your knowledge / willingness to learn Python MapFish is very graceful solution as well. Or you can dive into GeoDjango, however I cannot comment much on this solution myself.
Alternatively you could look at ther OSGeo web mapping solutions, turn to Flash, or use something commercial like ESRI Web APIs.
I agree with Adam that spatial DB and SQL should be a starting point.
After that it might be worth looking at the second tier of your future web geostack. You will need something to act as a bridge 'serving' your data from spatial DB to the client in your users' browser.
Make sure you understand WFS and WMS concepts.
Install and start playing locally with your own server. Two well known projects embraced by Open Source Geospatial Foundation are GeoServer and MapServer. QGIS mapserver might be worth a look as well. ArcGIS server would be [costly!] commercial equivalent here.
Once you sort out this part you might start playing with client libraries.
Javascript, HTML DOM, CSS, HTTP
If you master these, you can do anything on the web. Adding in nice APIs like SVG will maybe make it easier and your web applications nicer, but IMO you'll never be able to quite get around the four listed above.
Mapnik or any other map rendering tool for creating map tiles.
Almost any GIS web developer would need to use map rendering tools, or at least understand the basic concepts of layers and tiles.
Know your server OS, your web server (IIS, Apache, whatever) and how to secure your stuff - even if someone is doing it all for you.
You can work through my course (https://www.e-education.psu.edu/geog585/) which (I think) gives a good introduction and should get you up and running.
I can't emphasize George's second to the last comment enough. Pick a geospatial and/or Web problem that interests you and learn about the required technologies as you solve it.
If you take the time to become proficient in all of the areas listed above, it will be forever before you actually start building a project that scratches your itch.
I would suggest starting out with building an app using OpenLayers to build an app maps data from some existing data services. You could then move on to creating your own data sources or services. If you stick with the FLOSS technologies, you will be able to build and use your apps anywhere without license costs an issues.

This is my first post here so please forgive any protocol errors.
My question is simply trying to understand what is happening with the following Java code. I fully understand that the use of parentheses would clarify everything, but the resulting output seems to fly in the face of convention regarding Java order of operations.
public class Tester
public static void main(String[] args)
int total=9, num=13;
if (total>4 || ++num>15 && total>0)
The output is: short 13
It is obvious the ++num did not execute. If strict order of operations had been observed it should have been the first thing to happen. It didn't. So next is the &&. If the && is done by order of precedence over the ||, then the same...the ++num should happen first. It didn't. So, to me it seems the output was determined with the || executed first, shortciruiting the ++num and then, working with the &&, resulted in the short being printed. Were the order of operation rules simply ignored and the Boolean expression executed left to right? Is the increment operator causing the irregular behavior?
Thanks for any insight as to what is actually going on with this code.

To the editor:
Bob Atkinson's letter of Sept. 29 ("Looking to take control") reveals the skill level of liberal criticism - low or non-existent. He states no facts or answers legitimate questions such as: If Obumacare is so great, why doesn't President Barack Obama sign up for it? Why aren't Senate Majority Leader Harry Reid, D-Nev., and Pinocchio U.S. Rep. Nancy Pelosi, D-Calif., at the front of the line? Can anyone name one local liberal politician running on the Obumacare platform?
The writer's rage and lack of political knowledge is apparent by the clown references he made. He tried to misdirect the argument with nonsense, but we see through his pitiful attempt. I thought the illuminati from across the Ohio was beyond following idiots blindly. I was wrong. Let's deal with something that valley amigos know nothing about: Facts.
Obuma exempted big business from initiating Obamacare for one year. Why is the individual mandated to participate on Jan. 1? Please explain how Obama can unilaterally change a law that was passed by Congress, upheld by the Supreme Court and he signed? He has changed his law 17 times to accommodate unions, change times of mandates and more. How can he just change a law without congressional approval? Where's the $67 million the IRS misplaced for Obamacare's slush fund? It reads in Section 14 that "navigators should not steal people's identification," yet, there is no background check and no penalty if they do steal your identification. Stupid. Thousands who signed up received sticker shock, learning they have a $5,000 or $6,000 deductible and must pay 30 percent of any hospital bill.
Didn't our leader draw a red line about Syria? Did Secretary of State John Kerry really say we'll have just a teensy-weensy attack on Syria? Didn't Obama promise to get to the bottom of the IRS scandal because this action will not be tolerated? Wasn't he going to bring the perpetrators of Benghazi to justice? Why did he and Kerry sign the UN gun control treaty without publicity? Obama said he won't have one lobbyist working in the White House. He didn't lie: there are 119. American families are barred from visiting our White House. He sent guards to the World War II Memorial (privately funded) to bar veterans from entering. The House of Representatives passed a bill to open the memorial and national parks, but the demented Reid won't allow the Senate to vote on it. Disgraceful. He doesn't care about Americans, just political power.
I wonder if Obama and the Iranian president prayed to Allah before they started their conversation? Obama told him "you better not make an atomic bomb or I'll send Kerry to the UN to protest." Wow.
All the liberals are getting their wish. Full-time employment is a thing of the past - part-time is where it's at. Unions enjoy. To liberals who pound their chests crowing Obamacare is the law of the land, live with it, I reply: the Second Amendment to the Constitution is the law of the land - live with.

January 27, 2012
Housed within the Steinhardt School Department of Art and Art Professions, 80WSE Galleries is proud to announce the opening of "Gran Fury: Read My Lips," the first comprehensive exhibition documenting the work of Gran Fury, the influential AIDS activist arts collective. Gran Fury's work raised public awareness of AIDS, put pressure on politicians, and opened up a broader spectrum of understanding about the political and collective art practices that flourished in downtown New York during the 1980s and 1990s.
Curated by Gran Fury and 80WSE Assistant Director Michael Cohen, the exhibition consists of 15 pieces including the group's most important public works, "Kissing Doesn't Kill," "Welcome to America," and "Women Don't Get AIDS," that will be reproduced in large-scale mural formats. Showing at 80 Washington Square East, the exhibition opens Jan. 31, runs through March 17, and is free and open to the public.
Naming itself after the model of Plymouth automobile used by the New York City Police Department, Gran Fury made public projects that were simultaneously scathing, provocative, stylish and often quite funny. This exhibition conveys the collective's unique voice across a wide variety of media, including billboards, postcards, video, posters, and painting that helped to convey the urgency of the early AIDS crisis and led many into the streets to demand reforms that changed public policy and saved lives.
In the 80WSE Windows Gallery, Gran Fury will present a 25-foot window installation, facing Washington Square Park, produced specifically for this exhibition. The installation juxtaposes images of AIDS activists and anti-gay protestors, encouraging viewers to viscerally experience the polarization in America over health-care issues related to AIDS during the late 1980s and providing historical context necessary for understanding how and why the images in this exhibition were produced.
There will also be a projection of the "Kissing Doesn't Kill" video public service announcements in the gallery along with never before seen outtakes. In addition, the exhibition includes several notable giveaways including "Men Use Condoms" and postcards from the "Read My Lips" series. Interspersed among these works will be texts and photos that recreate the social and political context which inspired AIDS activism and the demonstrations and actions where Gran Fury's graphic interventions were used.
About 80WSE Galleries
The 80WSE Galleries, located on the east side of Washington Square Park between West 4th St. and Washington Place, is directed by artist and NYU Steinhardt faculty member Peter Campus. 80WSE is an extension of the program in studio art in the Steinhardt School of Culture, Education, and Human Development at NYU. The 80WSE Galleries display exhibitions curated by faculty, students, and alumni, as well as experimental projects by noted curators.

Travis H. Brown: How Money Walks
Between 1995 and 2010, millions of Americans moved between the states, taking with them over $2 trillion in adjusted gross incomes. Two trillion dollars is equivalent to the GDP of California, the ninth largest in the world. It's a lot of money.
Some states, like Florida, saw tremendous gains ($86.4 billion), while others, like New York, experienced massive losses ($58.6 billion). People moved, and they took their working wealth with them. The question is, why? Why did Americans move so much of their income from state to state? Which states benefitted and which states suffered? And why does it matter?
Travis H. Brown, explained all that in a dynamic, interactive presenation at a Heartland Institution Authors Series lunchon about his best-selling book How Money Walks.
About the author:
Travis H. Brown is the CEO and co-founder of Pelopidas, LLC, a St. Louis-based public affairs and advocacy firm. He is a frequent contributor to Forbes.com, a nationally sought-after speaker, and the author of How Money Walks, a book that explores how wealth and people move between the states. Brown regularly discusses the book's findings on national media outlets, including CNBC and Fox Business.
Brown has an undergraduate degree in economics from the University of Missouri and an MBA from Washington University in St. Louis. He has two decades of state and local lobbying experience and has worked in one-third of the 50 states. After a diverse career in corporate sales, marketing, and government affairs, Brown co-founded Pelopidas LLC in 2007.
Brown is a leading advocate for state tax reform within and beyond the Midwest. He regularly consults with governors, legislators, and think-tank scholars about issues related to income tax reform.
Brown lives in St. Louis with his wife, Pelopidas co-founder Rachel Keller Brown. He is an avid sportsman, pilot, wine collector, chess enthusiast, and world traveler.

RENO, Nev. — Looking for a fast sports car with low miles?
Sheriff's deputies in Reno may have a deal for you.
A 2006 Lamborghini Gallardo that originally retailed for $180,000 is going up for auction April 23 at a Washoe County sheriff's sale of property seized from a convicted drug trafficker.
Detectives also seized more than $170,000 in cash, a Yamaha motorcycle and a 2006 Mercedes Benz from James Monts in February 2011. He was convicted last year on charges of selling marijuana in Reno, Las Vegas and San Francisco.
The Lamborghini has only 12,000 miles on it. The district attorney's office said in a news release it has a 5.0-liter engine with 493 base horsepower and goes zero to 60 mph in just over four seconds.

I have created a scene in the blender 3D view and would like to position the camera so that all the objects are visible (for instance by pressing the Home key and then pressing CTRL-ALT-Keypad0 to position the camera so that it looks at the current view, and then pressing SHIFT-F to activate fly view to adjust the distance to the object).
However I find that when I zoom out too much the objects are not visible to the camera although they fall out of the far clipping plane. How do I adjust the far clipping plane to make it farther away so that I can take a picture of all of the objects in the scene and render them?
(an alternative would be resizing all of the objects to make them smaller so that they fit in the clipping area but I would rather understand and be able to adjust the clipping area of the camera so that it contains all the objects I am interested in rendering).

I've just started getting into Wurm Online and I've done some exploring, hopefully trying to find a relatively quiet place to settle and figure out the ins-and-outs of the game without an established civilisation around me (personal preference).
However, I've found it remarkably hard to find any source of clay. Without clay I can't build pottery bowls, and without bowls I can't make food, which makes everything really quite complicated. I've seen a few merchants in my travels who can sell pottery bowls, but at this stage I'm also completely broke.
What's the best way to find clay? I'm in Freedom, around the Silent Hill area (heading north-east from there).

Audio (279)
- Automates most tasks used for streaming.
Was used during LibrePlanet 2015 and 2016.
ABYSS was previously know as Libre-Streamer.
- AKFAvatar
- AKFAvatar is a fancy graphical user interface for applications, where an avatar appears on the screen and tells things to the user via a speech bubble. There can also be recorded audio files, so that the user even can hear what it is saying. It can be used for infotainment systems.
With AKFAvatar you can easily write cross platform applications in Lua. Lua scripts don't even need to be compiled for the target platform. It has an interface for C programs. Furthermore there is a binding for Free Pascal.
- ARts
- 'aRts' is a framework for developing modular multimedia applications. The sound server, artsd, lets multiple applications cooperatively process and output sound and music. aRts provides its filter and synthesis capabilities to other applications using the multimedia communication protocol (MCOP). The package is also capable of modular realtime synthesis. It can create sounds & music (realtime midi synthesis) using small modules like oscillators for creating waveforms, various filters, mixers, faders, etc. As of Dec 02, 2004, development on this project has been discontinued.
- Abcde
- 'abcde' is a frontend to cdparanoia, wget, cd-discid, id3, and your favorite Ogg/MP3/Flac encoder (Oggenc is the default). With one comand, it grabs a CD, converts each track to Ogg/MP3/Flac, and comments or ID3-tags each file. It supports multiple output in a single CD read, volume normalization, gapless encoding (with Lame), parallelization, SMP, HTTP proxies, customizable filename organization and munging, playlist generation, and remote distributed encoding via distmp3.
- Actor platform
- The Actor platform allows you to run a server for clients running the free software Actor messaging and group chat app on their computers and other devices.
NB: Actor platform needs other modules in order to work, which is not covered by this entry.
- Adcd
- Adcd is a CD player for GNU/Linux with a ncurses (text mode) interface. It features all the functions expected in a compact disc player, including playing selected tracks, random playing and loop mode. Also features a non-interactive mode for those who want to play their CDs while using the console for something else.
- Agatha
- Agatha is a Web-based MP3 playing system that allows the home user or office group to stream music, create, manage, and share play lists, and control the playing of music on a remote system. It does not require a database and has full play-on-server support.
- Ags
- Advanced GTK+ Sequencer (AGS) is intended to use for music composition.
It features a piano roll, as well a synth, matrix editor, drum machine, soundfont2 player, mixer and an output panel. Further it has LADSPA, DSSI and Lv2 plugin support. It's designed to be highly configurable. You may add effects to its effect chain; and add or remove audio channels/pads. You may set up a fully functional network of engines, thus there is a link editor for linking audio lines. AGS requires a realtime kernel and ALSA support. AGS uses conditional locks to keep several threads in sync that's why you need at least a preemptable kernel.
LADSPA support has been added to version 0.4.2 as well export to WAV.
Version 0.5.x brings you first concurrent audio tree processing support.
Version 0.6.x is dedicated to accessibility. You might control GSequencer by keyboard. As you move to a note it provides you an audible feedback.
Version 0.7.x gives you the benefit of providing the libraries libags, libags-thread, libags-server, libags-audio and libgsequencer. It contains for now an automation editor and is still under active development.
- Airtime
- Think of a radio station. Airtime is software that allows multiple people to run it over the internet. Airtime helps them manage the audio archive, upload files, create shows, manage staff, edit the programme calendar and cue playout. Designed specifically for independent media, it's free software.
- Alogg
- 'alogg' is a library which makes it easier to use Ogg/Vorbis streams with Allegro. It offers facilities to decode, stream, and encode Ogg/Vorbis streams, and integrates those facilities with Allegro's datafile and sample loading routines. 'alogg' comes with a sample player, streamer, and encoder based on Allegro's sound routines.

I was looking at FOAF+SSL and wondering if its possible to spoof the modulus of the browser certificate so that the FOAF and browser certificate's modulus match?
I'm not sure exactly what you are asking. In the scenario, there are two certificates: Romeo's FOAF certificate and Juliet's SSL certificate. However Romeo's certificate is used in two different ways: once to authenticate (over mutually authenticated SSL) and once as posted on a domain he controls.
I believe your question may be, if an active adversary saw Juliet request the certificate information from Romeo's domain (as specified in the cert's alt name), could the adversary modify the response to match a bogus FOAF certificate it provided? The answer is yes, since this connection is not over SSL!
The real question is what happens in step 6? Does Juliet look in her friends databases for the URL or for the public key? If it is the former, there seems to be a security vulnerability. If it is the latter, it is ok, since an adversary has to substitute their own public key to form the HTTPS connection (which requires them to know the corresponding private key).
I once experimented with FOAF but don't know anything about FOAF+SSL beyond this article.

The Third Stage of Labor: After Your Baby is Born
In This Article:
What happens in the minutes after birth?
The third stage
This is from the birth of your baby until the delivery of the membranes (the amniotic bag that surrounded your baby) and placenta. The placenta can be actively managed with the help of drugs or delivered without drugs, known as passive management or a physiological third stage. Your doctor will discuss these options with you before labor.
Cutting the cord
Once your baby has been delivered, it may be left for two to three minutes before it is cut. Allowing the cord to pulsate for a few minutes means your baby receives more blood from the placenta, which boosts his or her oxygen supply and blood volume. The cord will be clamped in two places, about 1 cm and 4 cm from the baby's belly, and is cut with scissors between the clamps.
Delivery of the placenta
How your placenta is delivered depends on your doctor. Many wait for it to happen naturally, but others offer an intramuscular (IM) injection of an oxytoxic drug in your thigh to make the uterus contract so that you can deliver the placenta and membranes quickly. Helping the uterus contract in this way reduces the risk of heavy bleeding occurring during the third stage, known as a postpartum hemorrhage (see Postpartum hemorrhage) and speeds up the delivery of the placenta, which can happen within 5 to 15 minutes after the birth of the baby. The risk of a postpartum hemorrhage occurring is the reason many units advise an active delivery. If you have a fibroid, active delivery will be advised because there is a heavy risk of bleeding.
Your doctor will place one of her hands just above your pubic bone to prevent the uterus from being pulled downward when she pulls on the cord. With her other hand, she will then apply gentle traction to the cord to help deliver the membranes and placenta. This is known as "controlled cord traction" (CCT).
Delivering the placenta naturally
If you decide to deliver the placenta without drugs, known as a physiological third stage, this can take up to an hour. Your doctor will encourage you to bear down and you may find squatting helps. The doctor will check the placenta to ensure it's complete and that none of it remains in the uterus, which can cause a postpartum hemorrhage.

Impressive quality!
By Mouse
from Los Angeles
I was hesitant about buying this product based on the experience I had buying a personalized photo puzzle from another source years ago that was so flimsy the pieces didn't lock together. I needn't have worried. This puzzle is the BEST QUALITY of any I have seen anywhere. I purchased it as a gift and couldn't be happier - I know the recipient will be too.
Bottom Line Yes, I would recommend this to a friend

The poignant and unforgettable sequel to the beloved bestseller Lost & Found; a marvelous tale of life-altering surprises and unanticipated guests
Peaks Island, Maine, vibrates with its own special magic, a unique flow to life that knits together the small community that calls it home. The people, the animals, and even the houses have a charm and personality all their own. Just ask Rocky Pelligrino. Devastated by her husband Bob's sudden death, she found hope thanks to a relentlessly loyal black Lab named Cooper. Warm friends and a new job--as the island's animal control warden--have helped Rocky chart a course toward a promising future. She's even ready to try love again with Hill, the gentle and patient archery instructor. And there is an old house haunted by lost love and forgotten secrets that speaks to her soul.
But a phone call from a troubled young woman looking for her biological father shakes Rocky's newfound joy. Could this young girl hold a tendril of the man who was the love of her life? Or could the girl's appearance throw Rocky's world into chaos . . . and shatter her heart again?

The NYU Steinhardt School of Culture, Education, and Human Development's Department of Music and Performing Arts Professions will celebrate not one, but two John D. and Catherine T. MacArthur Foundation "Genius" Fellows who demonstrate exceptional creativity, promise, and pursuit of creative works. Of 22 national awardees, this year's recipients include current Jazz Studies Professor Dafnis Prieto and Francisco J. Núñez, an alumnus of the music education department. This is the first time anyone from the department has been selected for the award. Both Steinhardt recipients will perform at a celebratory event held in their honor on Feb. 6 at 7:00 p.m. at The Frederick Loewe Theatre located at 35 W. 4th St. Admission is free and open to the public.
The MacArthur Fellowship, a $500,000 award in support of individual passions, and not projects, is designed to provide seed money for intellectual, social, and artistic endeavors.
"This award is very helpful and is going to speed up a lot of possibilities in my career and my work," Prieto said in a recent interview with the MacArthur Foundation. "I'm honored and happy about it."
Originally from Cuba, Prieto has been a member of the NYU Steinhardt music faculty since 2005 and his evolutionary drumming techniques continue to have a powerful impact on the Latin and Jazz music scene, both locally and internationally. As a composer, he has created music for dance, film, chamber ensembles, and his own bands. He has received numerous awards and honors including "Up & Coming Musician of the Year" by the Jazz Journalists Association (2006), a Grammy Award Nomination for "Absolute Quintet" as Best Latin Jazz Album, and a Latin Grammy Nomination for "Best New Artist" (2007).
"We are thrilled that two of this year's 22 MacArthur Fellows, and two of the three musicians among them, are members of the Steinhardt community," said Robert Rowe, chair of Steinhardt's Department of Music and Performing Arts Professions. "Francisco Nuñez's passion, musicianship, and drive in building the Young People's Chorus of New York City, together with Dafnis Prieto's innovation and numerous contributions to the world of jazz percussion will combine to produce a fascinating evening of discussion and music. No two artists are more deserving of this esteemed honor."
Francisco J. Núñez, graduated from NYU in 1988 as a music education and piano major. He founded the Young People's Chorus (YPC) of New York City to provide children of diversebackgrounds with a unique program of music education and choral performance. First Lady Michelle Obama recently presented YPC with a 2011 National Arts & Humanities Youth Program Award, the nation's highest honor for youth programs. From 2000 to 2008, Núñez conducted the NYU university singers and women's chorus.
Media interested in attending, please contact Courtney Bowe in NYU's Office of Public Affairs at 212.998.6797 or email@example.com.

Would anyone on here actually buy the ipad mini?
What are your thoughts on the ipad mini? I mean compared to other tablets it's definitely pricier, but is it actually better. I know apples interfaces are much easier to use, but I don't know know much about this stuff so feel free to help me out.
15 Answers answer
More than a few here will. There are some Apple fanboys here, believe it or not. Most of us are champions of function over form, and won't care much what co-workers say: heck, there have been long "Bring back the GD Sansas!" threads here. But I know there are people who will buy it.
As for me: I'm still using my Xoom tablet, and am waiting to see what the Nexxus 10 looks like.
I personally don't have much use for a tablet and I see a mini-tablet as even more pointless.
Full size tablets aren't that big or heavy these days, so it's not like one would need the mini for size issues with travel or anything. Generally speaking, anyway.
Clearly I'm pretty far from the target market, but I just don't really see the need for a smaller tablet. I get having a tablet over a smartphone, because if you use it as an e-reader or something it's easier to read a tablet than a phone. Even if I were to use/ want a tablet, I still don't see myself having interest in the mini.
To me, it's just a smaller iPad 2; same display, same processor, same camera. Basically technology that is nearly two years old now.
But some people may buy it regardless because they really need that size, or they're hoping to sell it in some country elsewhere for profit before Apple gets to sell it there.
To me, right now. It's a matter of brand and interface preference. If you absolutely must have that Apple logo on the back of your tablet and you like the simple interface, go for the iPad mini. Let me put it this way; What would you rather prefer? A Gucci wallet or a Swiss wallet from Target? They're both wallets and they do the same thing; hold your money.. it's just the matter of brand preference.
I have everything Apple at home (Macbook, Apple TV, iPad 3, iPhone 5), but the iPad mini doesn't give me that "OMG I MUST HAVE THIS NOW" kind of feeling. Maybe because I already have the iPad.
In my opinion.
The best advice I can give; Get whatever makes you happy in the end.
No, I would not get an Ipad mini, but not because of an aversion to Apple. I have a Transformer Prime, a pocket eDGe, 2 laptops, 2 desktops, an Ipod 160gb and a Smartphone. A mini tablet is not in the cards. However, if someone gave me one, I would be happy to play around on it. Of course I would much rather be given this, though.
@pyxientx: OH YEAH, me too! That looks awesome.
No ipad mini for me, either. Love this youtube vid:
I'm pretty tempted, I think the ~8 inch size is actually ideal for what it does... but given their history, I'm thinking they'll release an iPad Mini 2 with retina display, faster processor, and double the RAM, in about 6-9 months. And then I would regret this purchase. I definitely don't NEED it, but it would be a cool toy, would come in handy when I travel, is the perfect size for using while squeezed into an airplane seat... but I can wait.
I am in the camp that a tablet like that is too small. The regular iPad and 10" Nexus are tempting though, since that is the size I want.
You mean the iPod Touch Large? Probably not.. (really, this was just an excuse for me to say 'iPod Touch Large..' But it would be pretty funny if they made one of those too :), right? )
Really though, I didn't used to be big on Apple stuff but I have to say: since I got my iPod Touch I actually like it quite a bit. It was a gift but I've gotten a ton of use out of it.
I still think it's all overpriced, but the older gen stuff can be reasonable.
@dogbountyhunter1: Are you trying to make a decision about buying one vs something else or were you just curious?
No way. Not at all impressed with my ipod touch and wouldn't spend that kind of crazy money for a larger one.
now that there is an ipad mini, can the ipad maxi be far behind?
@no1: They'll probably call it an iMac Touch.
And a year later, iMac Touch with Retina Display.
No buyer here. I like a larger screen.
In my house:
have the original ipad, a kindle fire, a kindle touch (gf's) a blackberry playbook (from work for testing and i hate it and think it useless) and an ipad 3 (also from work for testing).
I won't buy the mini
I like the form factor, though at that size prefer the 16:9 or 16:10 ratio of the Android offerings.
The reason I'm not getting one has been touched on briefly.
This is a stopgap device, intended to stem the holiday sales leech from the Nexus and Kindle line.
It will be obsolete in 6 months time.
That said, I believe they are sold out, so go figure.
We bought 14 for employee gifts. Other than the hassle (individuals can only buy 2, businesses only 10 - so we had to "work it') we were very pleased and the employees were STOCKED

Bluji's Christmas Calendar 2012
If you played my Christmas Calendar last year, you know what to expect. If you didn't, here's a short explanation:
Every day there'll be a new activity of some sort. Simple enough, complete the activity's requirements to earn a Christmas Token. On 25th December, I'll check the leaderboard and see who has the most amount of Christmas Tokens. Those people get an FGF win for actively participating in all kinds of stuff.
This year there is however a slight twist. In addition to the daily activities, each week there will be some sort of a gaming challenge, similar to Kongregate's friday challenges. Each challenge will feature a fun Christmas-themed game.

Robert D. Beard
Business owner, banker, member of Milford Hospital board
Mr. Beard's father, Harold, founded the business in the early 1940s. The concrete business was started in 1946 together with Mr. Beard's brother, Earl, followed by the Oronoque Road operation in 1949 and the Derby concrete company in 1958. Until shortly before his death, Mr. Beard went to the office daily.
A Milford citizen all his life, he was proud of his city and made major contributions to its development. He felt strongly about serving his community and church and often commented the rewards were greater than the giving. He was elected as a director of the Milford Trust Company in 1956 and later became its chairman. Although the Milford Trust Company merged with several other banks, Mr. Beard continued to serve as director of its advisory board and later became its chairman. In 1966 he became a trustee of the Milford Savings Bank and served on its executive committee and later as chairman. Mr. Beard's leadership and guidance helped insure that Milford would continue to have its own strong, healthy locally-operated and controlled bank. He was elected to the board of the Milford Hospital in 1957 and served as president from 1964 to 1973, chairman of the board, secretary, chairman of the planning committee, the building committee, and the finance committee. He had a vision of the future health care needs and the services, activities and equipment the hospital would need to provide to meet its mission. The present hospital building was planned, designed and executed by the hospital planning committee under his chairmanship. He has been credited, more than any other individual, with bringing Milford Hospital to its place as an outstanding community hospital.
He was elected as a director of the Milford Cemetery Association in 1947 and served as president until 2009. He proposed and carried to completion numerous expansion projects, including the acquisition of the Aldo Farm for Milford Cemetery's future. He was proud to be a part of the historic, well-kept, maintained and managed cemetery, an essential dimension of our community.
He was a member of the CT Labor Relations Board, the New England Road Builders Association and was one of the organizers of the Connecticut Ready-Mixed Concrete Association (CRMCA), which later became a division of the Connecticut Construction Industries Association (CCIA), and was a former member of Racebrook Country Club. He was a descendant of the widow Martha Beard who came to Milford in 1639 as a result of granted land from King Charles I. The Beard family was, therefore, in Milford 150 years before Connecticut became a state. It is interesting to note that the "house lott" originally owned by Widow Beard has never been deeded out of the family, but has passed down in the line of direct descent from generation to generation.
He was a lifelong member of the First United Church of Christ (Congregational) and a past trustee. He served on the Republican Town Committee and was president of that organization.
He leaves three children and their spouses: Harriet Jordan ("Jerry") Beard Ackerman and son-in-law, James F. Ackerman, Jr. of Litchfield, Conn., Martha Elizabeth Beard Merk of Milford, Conn., and James Robert Beard and daughter-in-law, June Cynthia Martinitis, of Milford, Conn.; eight grandchildren, and 12 great-grandchildren. He was predeceased by his grandson, Robert Drew Ackerman.
Funeral services will take place Saturday, Nov. 3, 2012 at 10 a.m. directly at First United Church of Christ Congregational, 34 West Main St., Milford. Friends may call Friday at the Smith & Sefcik Funeral Home, 135 Broad St., Milford, from 4 to 8 p.m. Interment will be held in Milford Cemetery.
In lieu of flowers, contributions in Mr. Beard's memory may be made to Milford Hospital or the First United Church of Christ Congregational Milford.

What is it that angels do in heaven?
Sign up
- Anybody can ask a question
- Anybody can answer
- The best answers are voted up and rise to the top
Taken from here:
The Talmud there discusses other aspects of the Angels' songs, including frequency and that they have to wait for the Jews to sing praises before they can (which brings to mind this story told by the Ba'al Shem Tov).
There are different types of angels, as we were taught. And the question of what they do depends on what types of angels they are. Some interpretations of the Sepher Yetzirah tells us that some angels were actually "agents" of creation, each representing the different stages of creation ("stages" were , of course, just based on our perception), thus, it was written:
כו וַיֹּאמֶר אֱלֹהִים, נַעֲשֶׂה אָדָם בְּצַלְמֵנוּ כִּדְמוּתֵנוּ; וְיִרְדּוּ בִדְגַת הַיָּם וּבְעוֹף הַשָּׁמַיִם, וּבַבְּהֵמָה וּבְכָל-הָאָרֶץ, וּבְכָל-הָרֶמֶשׂ, הָרֹמֵשׂ עַל-הָאָרֶץ.
Some were warriors. Some messengers. Some were "administering" beings in heaven paying tribute day and night, forever.
each angel has a specific job. once their job is completed, the angel is not needed any more and vanishes. there are some angels which "live on" forever: (you say every night) malach Gavriel, malach Uriel, malach Michael etc.
The concept of the Angels and Heaven is extremely esoteric, and the prophecies which relate first hand visions of Heaven are not to be taken literally, namely Ezekiel and Isaiah. Rambam defines many of the words used in the accounts, and how they should be properly translated in order to understand it. He teaches that the angels are strongly interwoven with "God's Glory", the creation, chaos and the natural-laws of the universe, what he calls "divine science". It's not really supposed to be discussed as it can be very easily misunderstood, however, in The Guide of the Perplexed, the Rambam does his best to explain it without violating the prohibition.
God is incorporeal and unchanging, as such He uses messengers to interact with lower worlds that require physical-interaction.
Angels don't have free will the way man does and they have to follow Hashem's will. There is a bit of leeway in how they can fill God's command, but ultimately there is a governing-command that they must follow. In nature, it is similar to how a leaf floats down from a tree, it will definitely fall to the ground but how it gets there is unpredictable.
