The 36 Worst Action Figures From Iconic Toy Lines
#23. Sylvester Stallone's Brother, Frank (Rocky Series)
It's OK if you've forgotten Frank Stallone. America did years ago.
Yep, that's Sylvester's brother, Frank Stallone. These were mostly sold to one "F. Stallone" as masturbatory aids.
And then they start dragging out all the variations on the main characters, like Bearded Rocky and Beach Training Apollo Creed. How far did they go in scraping the bottom of that barrel? Well ...
#22. Caveman Rocky (Rocky Series)
From the unproduced Rocky Meets the Flintstones special.
Yep, that's Caveman Rocky, aka Rocky wearing the costume he was wearing in that wacky commercial he was shooting at the beginning of Rocky II.
Basically, someone could buy all these figures and make a 100 percent accurate reenactment of every film in the Rocky franchise. Or plastic Rocky orgies. Either way, please put it on YouTube. But what do you do when you've exhausted every possibility in the Rocky universe, when every single character from every single scene is taken? Why, you move on to the inanimate objects ...
#21. Rocky Statue (Rocky Series)
Yet another tragic victim of the vile Copperfinger.
The Rocky Statue in Philadelphia. A non-moving, non-talking hunk of bronze. So your kids can play "statue." Come on, guys. What's next, an action figure of the meat he was punching while he trained in the original film?
#20. The Meat (Rocky Series)
That is not a Photoshop.
#19. Bonebreaker (X-Men)
"How do I pee?"
The X-Men action figure line was one of the coolest of the '90s, provided that you didn't get one of the lesser-known characters. What's unfortunate is that, when it comes to the X-Men, 90 percent of the team qualifies as "lesser known." It's pretty much just "Wolverine, etc."
For instance, this guy's legs are a tank. His mutant power is that his legs are a tank. Unless you misplace the tank (it's detachable, for some reason), then his power is that he has no legs.
#18. The Blob (X-Men)
In real life, his taint would be the size of a throw rug.
You may remember the Blob from the Wolverine movie or your local Walmart. His mutant power is morbid obesity. This is the "realistic" variant for the Blob action figure, because the standard one didn't have enough chins. It even has chins all over its legs, and not one but two sets of moobs.
#17. Wolfsbane (X-Men)
Apparently, she has the mutant ability to excrete hot glue from her ankles.
Wolfsbane looks like she's murdered and scalped multiple Don Kings and attached the scalps to her body in ritualistic fashion. If the Internet hasn't yet produced an erotic fan fiction story starring her and Grizzlor from He-Man, we're betting it will within 15 minutes of this article being published.
#16. Whistle Chest Banshee (X-Men)
He's just making the best of a bad chest wound.
Banshee is a relatively well-known character with a super-powered scream ... which they decided to represent here by jamming a whistle into his chest. You blow (into) him. They could have given him a sound chip or something, but no, clearly this was the more dignified solution.
#15. Astral Dr. Strange (Marvel Comics)
Is it just us, or is he totally throwing up a gang sign?
Well-known superheroes can make disappointing action figures, too, as Marvel Toys has worked hard to prove for the past 20 years. In this case, Dr. Strange is dead and you have bought his ghost. He seems to be saying "WooooOOOooo I cost you $9.99! BOO!"
This was actually a recolored variant of an earlier Dr. Strange figure that was supposed to represent his "astral form" or some bullshit.
#14. Invisible Woman (Marvel Comics)
We don't remember her joints being so clearly visible in the comics.
"Say, I have 20,000 pieces of transparent plastic shaped like little women in my warehouse. Don't ask. What do we do with them?"
"Ever heard of the Fantastic Four?"
#13. Ghost Rider (Marvel Comics)
And then, there are the figures that someone only buys for a child if they want to give them emotional baggage. For example, check out this figure of Ghost Rider in the midst of his transformation (alternatively packaged as "person burning alive").
"Oh hey kids I'm Joh -- AAAAAAHHHHH OH MY GOD THE PAIN!"
#12. J. Jonah Jameson (Marvel Comics)
"You know what kids can't get enough of? Awkward cloth suits."
J. Jonah Jameson's deep hatred of Spider-Man seems somewhat less threatening when he's wearing his dad's suit. Also, we couldn't help noticing that his pants appear to be removable. He has a thong under there, doesn't he?
But the winner of the Spider-Man toy line has to be:

Making changes in your daily life may help reduce your risk of breast cancer. Try to:
Ask your doctor about breast cancer screening. Discuss with your doctor when to begin breast cancer screening exams and tests, such as clinical breast exams and mammograms.
Talk to your doctor about the benefits and risks of screening. Together, you can decide what breast cancer screening strategies are right for you.
Become familiar with your breasts through breast self-exam for breast awareness. Women may choose to become familiar with their breasts by occasionally inspecting their breasts during a breast self-exam for breast awareness. If there is a new change, lumps or other unusual signs in your breasts, talk to your doctor promptly.
Breast awareness can't prevent breast cancer, but it may help you to better understand the normal changes that your breasts undergo and identify any unusual signs and symptoms.
Limit postmenopausal hormone therapy. Combination hormone therapy may increase the risk of breast cancer. Talk with your doctor about the benefits and risks of hormone therapy.
Some women experience bothersome signs and symptoms during menopause and, for these women, the increased risk of breast cancer may be acceptable in order to relieve menopause signs and symptoms.
To reduce the risk of breast cancer, use the lowest dose of hormone therapy possible for the shortest amount of time.
If your doctor has assessed your family history and other factors and determined that you may have an increased risk of breast cancer, options to reduce your risk include:
Preventive medications (chemoprevention). Estrogen-blocking medications may help reduce the risk of breast cancer. Options include tamoxifen and raloxifene (Evista). Aromatase inhibitors have shown some promise in reducing the risk of breast cancer in women with a high risk.
These medications carry a risk of side effects, so doctors reserve these medications for women who have a very high risk of breast cancer. Discuss the benefits and risks with your doctor.

This unit will focus on the development of students' abilities to evaluate and create visual messages, by examining, exploring, and investigating concepts of visual thinking and communication through the creation of two and three dimensional art forms. These arts practice experiences are enhanced through engagement with and articulation of ideas framed, through dialogue with relevant art theories. Here, students engage in the development of an "intelligent eye" and in doing so to consider the importance of visual literacy and visual intelligence. In this context, if images are viewed as a "language", visual literacy can be defined as the ability to deconstruct images and to understand and produce visual messages.
Throughout the unit students will identify relevant theoretical frameworks to inform and support their own arts practice. They will focus on the articulation of ideas and sources of inspiration as starting points for developing artworks using various methods of recording, and interpreting to translate these into visual form.
Assignment 1: Visual Journal (50%).
Assignment 2: Suite of artworks (4) based around a theme (50%).

Ext Designer broken on Ubuntu 10.04 64 bit
Just tried installing Designer on my Ubuntu 10.04, 64 bit desktop. The desktop shortcut did no work, and so tried running from the command line. Got this error:
mv: cannot stat `/home/david/.config/Trolltech.conf': No such file or directory
Loading libion: /home/david/.local/share/data/Sencha, Inc./Sencha Designer 1.2/libion-1.2.0.so

When I tried the .bin file, got this...

Any ideas on how to get it working?

Grrr right now we don't support 10.04 64-bit. We do support 11.04 which may or may not help you! I wish we had a build engineer so we could get support for all distros. At some point we'll need one. You of course can also run a virtual machine running say 11.04 or 11.10 of Ubuntu.Phil Strong
26 Feb 2012 4:26 PM #3
I had the same issue running the .bin file on Ubuntu 11.10 and the segfault on the other file (though that was not identical, probably because I already had some of the QT libraries installed). For me the fix was simple:
sudo apt-get install libqtwebkit4
Again, I'm running 11.10, so your mileage may vary.

We are going to spend 2 days in London in mid-December and we wonder if we should buy the London Pass which is £46.00 per day per adult. It is not the first time we have used this kind of pass and have always been satisfied with it in the past. However, this one seems pretty expensive to me. Would I save much money by paying the £184.00 for the two days in London?
Given that there are so many free sites in London such as the British Museum, the National Portrait Gallery, the Tate Britain and the Tate Modern (before you even fit in time for sightseeing), I would suggest that £46 is money that could be spent elsewhere.
If you bought passes like that on such a short trip, you would spend more time worrying about what sites on the pass you will fit into your tight schedule and generally getting quite stressed.
I'd suggest you consider all the free things first and factor in time and costs for a visit to one or two sites with an entry fee.
I guess it depends on what you want to see in London, and make sure that your attractions are included. If you just want to do the usual highlights then I would say that it doesn't make sense to buy these passes, especially that some of the attractions listed in top 10 are quite far from London (e.g. Hampton Court) or even completely outside (Windsor). The site suggests some savings if you visit three things every day, but I just can't see how one can reasonably visit Hampton Court, Windsor and something else on one day!
All the major museums are free in London (excluding special exhibitions). You probably want to visit the main churches - Westminster Abbey and St. Paul's Cathedral. They are not cheep, but together cost still less than £46, that's for sure. Insider tip: if you want to get inside for free, just go for one of the services.
For public transport buy prepaid Oyster cards - you pay for every trip, but the amount is capped daily at the appropriate daily ticket rate.

Unanswered: Problem with Hiding Toolbar
I'm hiding a toolbar in my mobile app and I periodically get blank space the height of the toolbar at the bottom of the screen. I've tried just about everything I can think of but the problem persists. I've tried assigning listeners to the toolbar's hide event and calling doLayout and doComponentLayout for the panel that owns the toolbar.
Is there something else I can do to remedy this issue, or is this a limitation of Sencha Touch 1.1?
Jeff Schwartz
2 May 2012 1:06 AM #2
Hey, i think the problem is related to visible property when you try to hide the toolbar. Sencha sets the visible property to false, when you hide something, and when you set visible to false, then only the component gets hidden, but the space used by component is still there as the actual element is just invisible.
And when you set display:none in css, the actual element gets removed from the DOM, though visible in the DOM, but the element is not there, so it does not use any space. So this might help you.
Or you can do is , while hiding your toolbar, set its top propery to some value so that it goes out of the screen, and then call component layout of its parent.

Unanswered: Show window outside iframe
I've a panel with a iframe. In this iframe i load a js file where i've encapsulated an the functions dealing with google maps.
I've add some options to the map markers and one of them opens a Window with a grid.
The question is that when you drag the window it, obviously, disappears under the iframe boundaries..
I've search but can't seem to find a way to work around this....
Thanks in advance for the help

There is no workaround. You cannot create content outside of a browser window and the iframe's boundry is effectively the "browser window" for its document.
You'll either have to create the window in the parent document or in a separate popup browser window.

Save your energy. Opposition to taxpayer money being used for this runs in the 70% to 80% range and Governor Walker is not going to allow taxpayer dollars to be used for it.

"How did the BMO Harris Bradley Center get state support?"
".....Last December, Walker's spokesman said the governor believed the Bradley Center board had the ability to raise money for the arena on its own merits.
But late in August, Walker and the Department of Administration quietly approved a $5 million grant to the BMO Harris Bradley Center for some much-needed maintenance and upkeep....."
Gov. Walker is using taxpayer dollars to buy advertising from the JS. See those WEDC (that's his Wisconsin Economic Development Corporation) ads bracketing their "Newswatch" box on the jsonline home page.
You mean the corporation that gave out "loans" with no way to repay them to the loss of 10 million for Wisconsin taxpayers?
Better yet, use some of the money that the Wisconsin Center district already collects on restaurant meals, hotel rooms, and rental cars. No need to keep the old arena if they're building a new one.
Milwaukee doesn't need, doesn't care, and can live without - the Bucks.
Our corporate community isn't large enough to support basketball and baseball, and since we are 100 times more of a baseball town than a basketball town ... there you are. Don't throw hundreds of millions at a new building, it is a waste.Hide replies
This isn't completely about the Bucks. A new arena will do more than just give the Bucks a new place to play. It will attract other events such as NCAA basketball tournaments, concerts that have an arena with real acoustics, and a multitude of other smaller events. If you think this arena is only for the Bucks, I suggest you open up your imagination and think outside the box.
aaron----------You suggest that Izzatso open up his imagination, but what you really want is for him to open up his wallet.
No, the reason I said open up your imagination was because you thought the arena was meant only for the Bucks, and since they have not been very good lately they don't deserve it. Fact is, that a new arena could bring many events into the area promoting business around it. Did you read my whole post or just what you wanted to read?
I don't care what the Bucks do. I don't watch them. I don't attend events there. The place will do nothing to help me or entertain me. All it will be is another hit on my wallet.
Izz, why do you hate Marquette University? Playing in a "pro-venue," the Bradley Center is a huge help to their recruiting, which is the life blood of their program. The gutting of the Big East has made the future of their basketball program even more precarious. If you want to hurt Marquette University, injure their basketball program by making them play their home games in a dilapidated facility.
outoftowner, maybe you should consider moving to that out of town area if you have no intention of supporting the area in which you live.
What makes you think that the build it and they will come scenario will work here? If the new building seats 20,000 or 30,000, is that going to bring the major acts here? What brings the acts is when they can charge $100 for concert tickets and Milwaukee will NEVER be that kind of market. I remember in the 90's when the Red Wings played exhibition games here, and the crowd wasn't much larger than an Admirals game. This city is not, unfortunately, that kind of market.
I'll save them some time.....
Public Sector - 0%
Private Sector - 100%
The amount of taxpayers dollars that would go into this arena would be small. Herb Kohl already said he would give a substantial amount of money towards a new arena, so that the taxpayer burden would be small. I remember reading somewhere that the tax would something around $50 for each taxpayer every year. That is incredibly affordable when you look at the big picture.
And for everyone that thinks this is only for the Bucks, you seriously need to open up your imaginations and think of the other events that a new arena could attract.Hide replies
If it's so affordable, why don't you pay my share as well?
These stadiums are a losing deal. They just move entertainment money from one location to another. The restaurant owner in New Berlin loses some of his Saturday crowd to a Bucks game. This is the unintended consequence.
Bradley Center seems to work for Marquette. Bucks don't ever put a winning product on the court so no one goes.
Hit the nail on the head Brian!
Since nobody yet knows what a new arena would cost, how could anybody possibly have estimated the cost to individual taxpayers?
And again with the "open up your imagination" line. Just admit it and say what you really mean, "Open up your wallet".
Are you that cheap? I think they have a pretty good idea of how much an arena would cost based on similar new construction of other NBA arenas. You seriously think that they don't have figures to make estimates?
Who are you to tell me how I should spend my money?
You say "Only about $50 per year". But let's look at the entire picture. 50 bucks for this, 20 dollars for that, 40 bucks for this thing, another 30 bucks for that thing over there. Oh and throw in some more money so Barrett can have his trolley.
Now we're talking about some money. That's what happens when you look at the entire picture rather than saying that this is only this much per year or that thing is only so much per year. They're all such little things, right? But they add up to the point that they are a whopping big thing.
So save your "it's only about $50 per year" arguement for those that don't see through the smoke and mirrors that you're throwing up.
I didn't agree with the trolley either, so I am with you there. Building a new arena is a much better option to better the city than a trolley. I am not telling you how to spend your money, but you make it sound like a huge financial burden that will make or break your budget.
As I say above. Put in on a statewide referendum and let the people that will end up paying for it make the decision.
If it passes, I'll be happy to pay my share. If not, Kohl will have to round up private money for it.
Well at least we reached a consensus. If a new arena is built, would you even consider attending an event to see it? After all, you did pay for it. (Hypothetically speaking of course)
You know what would really help the Bucks cause? Winning. Constantly fighting for the 8 seed has kept fans interest at an all-time low.
With all teams in the state winning and winning consistently - Packers, Brewers, UW, Marquette. Why would fans pay for a losing product?Hide replies
As much as I love the Brewers, they have not been winning consistently. And if you think they have been, I have a bridge to sell you.
I guess it all depends on what you think is consistent. The last two years the Brewers have had a winning record and the same is true for the last 3 of 4. Much better than the 20 consecutive seasons of not making the playoffs for the Pirates.
A four year stretch is not consistently winning. At least not in my book. And being that I grew up through the 90's with them losing 100 games a year, that should mean something more.
It's not the Bucks alone, it's the NBA too. The odds are stacked against any small market team in the NBA. Stern has made it more about stars than teams and he wants the stars in big markets. Ticket prices are high and the entertainment value is low.
Stern will be gone in 2014. And BIGBADBUCK I grew up in the 90's too. Yea it was rough, but the Bucks were pretty good then. The Bradley Center was thriving, but we are past that point in time and need to build a new arena. I consider 4 years of winning baseball consistent. Maybe I am slighty biased with my love for sports, but a new venue has many more things to offer than just sports.
Maybe Gov. Walker could appoint some of his business cronies to run this board and they could just steal the money that the public sector contributes.Hide replies
I think Ozaukee and Waukesha counties should pay for it. They are the only people who can afford to attend events there.
That is simply not true. Stop being naive.
Many people from other counties can afford and attend Bucks games.
Town of Laker, leave us Waukesha residents out...'til you build a commuter train, I don't drive into downtown Milwaukee...I'll keep my money out here where I live and work and recreate...
Any pol that suggests using taxpayer money for a new arena will likely find themself out of a job in short order.Hide replies
How am I a mooch if I put forth my share?
Because you are mooching off of me to get the thing. Leave me out of it. You want, you pay for it.
If the Bucks and their "fans" want a new stadium, let them build it and pay higher ticket prices....
OOT1: Great point, one that I intend to remember next Tuesday when I vote in the US Senate race. Remember old "Stick it to 'em" Tommy"?
To aaron4mvp who keeps beating this drum, it is not about being cheap, at least not for me. I simply object to billionaire owners expecting the taxpayers to pay for a "workplace" for their millionaire employees. Employees are who hired guns who "work" in a facility that sits idle much of the time and underused at other times. It is simply not a good business decision to use public money for such things and that includes Miller Park.
For the record Herb Kohl is not a billionaire. So you are saying that at this point in time Miller Park was a bad decision? I hope you don't attend Brewers games then. You wouldn't want to be a hypocrite would you? If the amount of public money that is used is significantly lower than what was paid for Miller Park would most people still object? Herb Kohl said that his contribution would not be insignificant. If anything the taxpayer burden would be less than the beautiful ball park we all payed for.
In fact most of the NBA owners are millionaires not billionaires.
"Green" is the new "chic." The best way to lengthen the use of the stability is to reduce its carbon footprint.
The Philadelphia Eagles' Lincoln financial field made what appears to be a poor investment in vertical axis wind turbines.
Most of the research I see says horizontal axis turbines deliver a better ROI, but there are safety concerns putting them in densely populate areas.
Building the roof in a way that is open to leasing it to solar providers might make the most sense. High tech concentrated solar solutions may offer a better ROI than solar panels.
Partnering with the Milwaukee Art Museum and other local Art museums has always made sense to me. For decades my Mom would attend Marquette basketball games with my Dad. She had marginal interest in the game and significantly less in listening to my Dad berate the refs. My guess is her situation was not unusual. I have always thought my Mom and others like her would have enjoyed the games at the Bradley Center more if her ticket allowed she and her friends the opportunity to browse art work. MAM and other Milwaukee area Museums have plenty of work that sits in storage.
Another aspect is using Wisconsin materials.
Based on Finnish research, feldspar can sequestrate carbon.

Another interesting option is to consider using WISCONSIN timber to replace steel.
"....Steel and glass may not shape our skyscrapers in years to come, as architects rethink the potential of wood. Forget the Shard: steel and glass may not be the building material of the future. Architects are rethinking the potential of wood, thanks to innovations in structural engineering. An open-source research study, published by Michael Green of MGB Architecture and Design, makes the case for timber as "a safe, economical and environmentally-friendly alternative for tall building structure. ...."
Governor Walker betrayed the conservatives who backed him in the 2010 election and in the recall election by "giving" 5 million dollars to this "hole in the groung." This is what I would have expected from the past governor, a Democratic. My lingering sores aren't even healed from the dollars the Miller Park Board has stole from me. Governor Walker should never have given tax dollars to keep millionaire owner Kohl in business. If you want a new building for the Bucks, build it with private funds and stay out of my wallet you blood sucking leechers, and I mean you, SheehyHide replies
Kitty from Thiensville, you sound pretty tough hiding behind that handle. Stay off I-43 and all the other roads. They were all built with tax dollars.
Did you know that the Bradley Center holds other events than just Bucks games? You should get out more and maybe try going to a Brewer game. They are quite fun!
People only want to pay for what they use, instead of making the area around them better for the whole.
Hey tiger: it was a Republican governor, Tommy Thompson who got into your wallet for Miller Park, not a "Democratic."
As always, thanks to Timothy Sheehy, the president of the Metropolitan Milwaukee Association of Commerce, for taking on a thankless task that requires really "broad shoulders."

What's the opposite of oxymoron? That is, two words put together that seem identical?

Merriam-Webster says:
I'm not quite sure how the use of one word can be coincident with another per M-W's definition, but looking at pleonasms.com, one sees these nuggets:
I'd say pleonasm comes the closest to being the antonym of oxymoron, in spirit if not in truth.
Try tautology. @alain-pannetier also made a good suggestion in the comments with pleonasm. The Wikipedia page explains the difference.
These are nice, but only somewhat related to what I assume the original question is getting at, that is if an good example of an oxymoron is an expression that involves both a punned contradiction and an ironic contrast to the original term; the opposite or the reverse of an oxymoron might be an expression which involves a pun and an ironic reinforcement of the original meaning of the expression. If "military intelligence" is a good oxymoron, "contempt of Congress" might be an example of the opposite.
pleonasm and tautology imply reinforcement and redundancy, but paronomasia doesn't.
There is no opposite, the word internalizes opposites, its own contradictions. It'd be like making a black & white negative image of a chessboard.

Given a vector $x$, define $[x]$ to be the vector obtained by rounding each entry of $x$ to the nearest integer. For definiteness, lets assume that midpoints round up, e.g., $2.5$ rounds to $3$.
I would appreciate pointers to any literature which analyzes dynamical systems of the form
$$ x(t+1) = A x(t) + B [x(t)].$$
Here $A,B$ are fixed matrices.
I would like to find out what is known about such systems. Unfortunately, I don't even know what keywords to search for. Pointers to even tangentially related literature would be very welcome!

An answer to a question on whether promo codes do more harm than good, mentioned that 27% of users will abandon a shopping cart to look for a promo code. As a follow-up, are there any statistics or studies that tell what percentage of those users looking for a promo code come back?
from personal experience that's really annoying to see there is a place for a coupon, because most of the time you don't have it which makes you think: ok, where the hell am I supposed to get a coupon from? and that you google and don't find anything and it all leads to more frustration
my point is coupons work only for coupon junkies who are constantly looking for the deals and wait for their moment to seize it
I think it depends on if your price is already competitive. They may find a competing ad and determine you're still the best price and come back to your site without a promo. On the other hand, the opposite can happen. Know your competitive landscape.

Cool, works great. Thank you!
...but as it is still a workaround, I hope this is on the todo list for GXT 2.0!
7 Apr 2009 5:58 PM #12
There is a better way that works in all directions.
- The window may open outside the container so you need to control the opening position.
- The window position is relative to the browser
E.g. if you collapse a west panel and there are windows in a center panel then the windows won't move and can be rendered out of the constraining container
Sven - I think this should be how the window's draggable should be in the code base (rather than just the window's title bar) - your thoughts?
private class ConstrainedWindow extends Window { private Container constrainContainer = null; ConstrainedWindow(Container<Component> constrainContainer) { this.constrainContainer = constrainContainer; } @Override protected void afterRender() { super.afterRender(); // Disable existing draggable adding one for whole window using existing handle getDraggable().setEnabled(false); Draggable d = new Draggable(this, getDraggable().getDragHandle()); d.setContainer(constrainContainer); } };
ConstrainedWindow w = new ConstrainedWindow(constrainContainer);

Has this been implemented in 2.0 M1? I can't seem to get it to work yet without this workaround. I thought Window.setConstrain(true) would do it but it's still not working for me.

Are You A Nettle's Friend?
by Stephen Gascoigne
France, and the French, have attracted a lot of criticism in recent times. Remember the comment by George W Bush that they don't have a word for entrepreneur? There was also the accusation that they were 'cheese-eating surrender monkeys�, whatever they happen to be! Such comments were seen, in Europe at least, as the product of overzealous Americans who didn't understand the complexities of European politics and history. As a committed Francophile, I could ignore these words and rest in the conviction that France is God's country, a place of great beauty, with an elegant, aristocratic language and wonderful food.

'Flat earth' cliche lacks relevance, historical accuracy
This is in response to Jon Quint's Aug. 9 letter, "Senators revive hysteria over global warming."
There is a cliche that persists in too many circles: that some indeterminate time in the past, usually the 15th century or points before, that "scientists" (the proper term for that period would have been "philosophers") held, in consensus, that the world was flat.

Here is a cut and paste of the gist of the article FreePress refers to. Look it over and draw your own conclusions:
Sea ice in the Arctic is disappearing quickly, but the opposite is happening in Antarctica, where the reaches of frozen water have actually been growing. Counterintuitive as it may seem, global warming is driving very different changes at each pole, cooling the south while heating the north. Two recent studies in Nature Geosciencesought to tease out which mechanisms are spurring the cooling and sea ice expansion. Richard Bintanja and colleagues at the Royal Netherlands Meteorological Institute report that deep warm water is melting ice shelves that extend from the continent; cold water from the melted ice, in turn, insulates the surface water, keeping it cooler. Yet a group led by Paul Holland of the British Antarctic Survey says that another mechanism is at work: Fierce winds blasting the South Pole are pushing the ice farther north. While the answer isn't yet clear, the groups agree that cooler waters will mean more sea-level rise, since less moisture will evaporate. Understanding what's driving the cooling will strengthen sea-level forecasts. Says Bintanja, "Identifying climate mechanisms helps to make these climate models more accurate."
What this article seems to say is global warming EXISTS and is causing very different changes in our planets poles.
Both groups agree that there will be MORE SEA LEVEL RISE.
Free and No Blinders seem to be saying, "Everything is fine and its okay to keep on doing what we're doing. The planet can take it"
Once again I must state I don't feel climate change should be a left vs right issue. Caring for the planet is everyone's responcibility. "
FREEPRESS wrote on Aug 14, 2013 9:13 PM:
I just read that the US Government is closing 600+ weather stations that record temperatures because they have been located near heat sources, at airports, near asphalt, in major cities, on roof tops, and many other inappropriate places which caused them to produce SIGNIFICANTLY ERRONEOUS DATA relative to real temperatures. That alone should cast major doubt on claims of global warming. "
Sandy Socks wrote on Aug 14, 2013 9:41 PM:
This "Cut and Paste" is the article that you were quoting from. I posted it so readers can read and come to their own conclusions.
I've stated my position (without attacking you). Why don't you, instead of attacking me, state your position.
Is it that there's no climate change occuring and the planet is fine and we're okay to keep doing what we're doing??
If that's your feeling, then show a little courage and go on record and state it.
If it is something else, fine, say it. "

Freepress first post took an excerpt from an article to make his anticlimate point. I showed readers here the full article so they could come to their own conclusion. I don't consider doing something like that an attack. Do you?
I complimented you on your honesty by saying "You will automatically take the opposite position as me regardless of the facts"

I don't know much about the global warming (now being called climate change). What I said was that Al Gore fudged the numbers, THAT IS FACT.
That Al Gore leaves a bigger carbon foot print that all of us put together while he is out telling us to drive electric cars. FACT
He has become a Billionaire selling us his hysteria. FACT
That without China, Russia, and India we can not effect change and they have no interest in slowing the pollution. The US is already 1000% more efficient and cleaner than those smog making countries.
Compare it to the 1 nicely kept home on Beacon St and the 40 dumps. The street is still a dump no matter how nice that 1 homeowner keeps his property. "

Yields 8
Roasting Oven Environment
- 4 cups cake flour
- 4 teaspoons Kosher salt, divided
- 1/2 teaspoon baking soda
- 1/4 cup milk
- 1/4 cup plain yogurt
- 1/2 cup water
- 2 tablespoons extra virgin olive oil
- 1 inch piece fresh ginger, peeled and chopped
- 3 cloves garlic, minced
- 1 medium red onion, small dice
- 1 pound ground chicken
- 1/2 teaspoon ground turmeric
- 3/4 teaspoon cayenne
- 1 teaspoon garam masala
- 1/4 cup chopped fresh cilantro
- 3 tablespoons unsalted butter, melted
Place a large sauté pan in the oven for 3 minutes. Add the oil, ginger, garlic and onions to the pan and place the pan on the cooler side of the oven, sauté until lightly browned, about 15 minutes. Add the chicken and cook, breaking it up into small pieces with a spoon, until all the moisture has evaporated and the chicken is cooked through, about 10-12 minutes. Add the remaining 2 teaspoons of salt, turmeric, cayenne, garam masala and cilantro. Cook for another 2 minutes then remove from the oven and place the chicken mixture on a plate to cool, set aside.
Bring the oven temperature up to 600 degrees.
Sift the flour, 2 teaspoons of salt and the baking soda into a large bowl. Add the milk and yogurt and stir. Add 1/2 cup water and kneed into a soft dough. Cover with a damp cloth and set aside for 15 minutes.
Divide the dough into 8 equal portions. Roll out each portion of dough into a 6 1/2 inch round. Place dough round into the palm of your hand and cup the dough. Place about 1/8 of the cooled chicken mixture into the center of the dough, then gather the edges to enclose the filling and pinch closed to form a ball.
Place the filled dough ball on a flat surface, seam side up and gently flatten into a disc with your hands. Continue to pinch closed any holes that open. You should end up with about a 5 1/2 inch round.
Place the dough on a peel and slide onto the oven floor. Cook for about 2 minutes per side, until browned in spots. Remove from oven and brush with butter. Repeat with remaining dough. Serve hot.

The opening meeting of the GFWC/Ohio Wintersville Woman's Club was an enlightening one.
As the club began its new meeting year Sept. 20 at St. Florian Hall with Barb Thermes beginning her two-year term as president, 49 members and two guests were welcomed.
Then came a unique roll call directive.
Article Photos
Guest speaker Laurel Marks and Renada
-- Photo by Janice Kiaski
Instead of just saying "here" to acknowledge attendance, members were invited to respond by divulging something about themselves that their club peers likely don't know.
Hence the enlightening began.
While a couple of members jokingly took "the fifth," others stepped up to the did-you-know plate. Here's a sampling of some of the responses I hurriedly committed to paper while trying to listen.
Barbara Whiteman and Lil Ferguson both said they have been to every state in the U.S. Jeannie Barker has a daughter who's in roller derby, part of the Ohio Valley Roller Girls, which I hope to be doing a story on sometime soon. Joan Martinez and her husband took classes together on operating a fork lift. Linda Nolf is a potato chip junkie. Gloria Popp and her husband, Paul, will be celebrating their 50th wedding anniversary come November. Carole Montgomery has walking up and down all the steps of the Statue of Liberty to her I-did-this-once credit. Barbara Steele's family operated the Fort Steuben Bakery on North Seventh Street, a place she worked and remembered that two loaves of bread sold for 15 cents. Helen Krnich worked on the railroad during World War II. Joan Doan took a sleigh ride in Alaska when it was a balmy minus 4 degrees. Kathy Frey has a fascination with the Civil War. Suzy Crawford wears a size 2 shoe. Nancy Antill once drove a Mack truck. CarolynLee Barrett and her therapy dog Gabe have made 108 visits to nursing homes in the past three years.
An incomplete list here, but you get the picture. This is a group of women who are interesting, past and present.
Thermes read an excerpt from the GFWC website regarding "another year of community improvement by enhancing the lives of others through volunteer service and fun."
Natalie Doty, first vice president, gave the meditation and grace, drawing from a reading about Crayola crayons from Guideposts magazine and a poem written by George Elliott. She also led the group in opening ceremonies.
Thermes led the group in a moment of silence in memory of Kathryn Pownall who passed away this summer. In Pownall's honor, a memorial contribution was sent to Hounds' Haven, her favorite charity, and her name will be inscribed in the state woman's club Blue Book as a memorial gesture.
Laurel Marks, development director of the Canine Companions for Independence program out of Delaware, Ohio, was the guest speaker, bringing with her Renada, a 2-year-old Golden Retriever/Lab Retriever mix on the heels of completing training to become a service dog.
The program has been in place since the mid-1970s and helps train and place service dogs with disabled people.
It has its own breeding program, according to Marks, who explained all the puppies are born in Santa Rosa, Calif., in a "puppy raiser's" home. At eight weeks, they are returned to Delaware for a socialization period, and then training time begins at 16 months. They learn how to be around wheelchairs and walkers, and they learn commands to help in opening and shutting drawers and doors, turning on lights and picking up items. That process can take from six to nine months.
There's a two-year wait for these dogs. A person must go through an application process and then the dog and person undergo training for two weeks, a period where the dog learns to suit that human's needs.
Putting a dollar value on the entire process from breeding to training adds up to $45,000 per dog, but the dogs, however, are provided free of charge to their human partner. Anyone from the Wounded Warrior program also receives a service dog free of charge.
Marks had Renada do a little demonstration of responding to commands.
She explained that the dogs are taught to respond on command, not to think as guide dogs for the blind are.
The organization is funded in part by GFWC/Ohio, grants and donations, so the club got a little perspective on what translates into a lot of help that it provides on a broader scale.
During the business meeting, Linda Cipriani, corresponding secretary, read several thank-you notes.
Thermes thanked club members for bringing pillows, blankets, bedding and other items for the Jefferson County Animal Shelter.
Marjean Sizemore explained that a pouch for pennies circulating from table to table would now be known as as project called "Pennies for Puppies," with the money sent to Canine Companions.
Reports included:
WAYS AND MEANS: Judy Weaver, chairman, explained that "Flower Power" will now be a new source of revenue for the club. This company sells spring flower bulbs, and each member received a sales catalog.
PUBLIC ISSUES: Linda Nolf, chairman, will take the baby bottles filled with change to the AIM Women's Center in Steubenville. She also will be giving a "Constitution" tidbit at each meeting. She read an excerpt from the Constitution and encouraged everyone to vote.
INTERNATIONAL AFFAIRS: Barb Grimm, chairman, asked members to cut the food and non-food coupons apart. They are being sent to military bases state side and abroad.
HOLIDAY SPLENDOR: The annual fundraiser will be held Dec. 2. Tickets are $25 and include lunch, the fashion show, drawings and shopping.
EDUCATION: Jackie Davis, chairman, announced the "Book Nook" would be every other month. She also said club members could collect school supplies in January and September as in previous years.
ARTS: Donna Phillips, chairman, reminded everyone that she has the contest forms for poetry, short story and photography entries.
CHATTERBOX: Sizemore, newsletter editor, explained she'll be e-mailing the newsletter to as many club members as possible for cost savings.
CONSERVATION: Chairman Pat Freeland announced that 13 pounds of pop tabs have been collected to date and that it takes 1,200 tabs to make a pound. These tabs are given to help fund Ronald McDonald houses.
The next luncheon and business meeting will be held at noon Oct. 18 with Mary Snyder from Historic Fort Steuben discussing "Steubenville, City of Murals."

2010 Annual Report
1)transitions/thresholds in ecological phases and states,.
2)plant community heterogeneity,.
3)mechanisms and risk of weed invasion, and D) temporal dynamics of key ecological indicators of rangeland health in northern mixed-grass prairie. In FY 2010, efforts addressed the evaluations of numerous ecosystem responses to management practices of grazing (season of grazing, stocking rates) and disturbances (interseeding of C3 perennial grasses). These responses include plant growth, animal weight gains, plant productivity, plant composition and diversity, bare ground and plant cover (from ground sensed platforms). Work by this project will ultimately result in the development of grazing management strategies that are desirable for enhancing ecosystem services and achieving contemporary conservation objectives while still providing necessary livestock production. In addition, ecological information regarding how this rangeland ecosystem responds to grazing season and stocking rate (including the reduction of stocking rates after a prior history of heavy grazing) will be useful to land managers. To ensure accountability in the mutual expectations of this collaboration, ADODR meets with leadership and members of the 8A Hay and Cattle Company on at least a monthly basis to discuss research findings. In addition, ADODR presents a summary of the research findings to the 8A Hay and Cattle Company at the end of the year.

I took ballet and with ballet you gain something called muscle memory and if you learn incorrectly, it's almost impossible to ever be a great dancer. Because of this, you can't learn ballet out of a book or from a video -- you need an instructor to say "You're doing a great job" or "You need to do this instead."
Is learning an instrument online a bad idea because of the above reason or any other reason? I would like to learn the flute, but I live pretty much in the middle of nowhere. I see that there are plenty of learn flute online courses, but I'm wondering if anyone has had any success with learning an instrument over the Internet, out of a book, from videos, etc? I'm not talking about people who see an instructor and then go home and practice out of a book, but rather those who never have the help of an instructor.

Unanswered: Container size changes wrong on devices
See image below:
My search bar width isn't behaving correctly with percentage widths. The blue Toolbar is set to 100%. Inside I have a centered container set to 90%, and inside of that I have another centered container set to 100%. Those work correctly. And those are holding the text box and the search button.
I want the text field to occupy 85% of the container, and the button to fill the remaining 15% so I have those widths set in Architect. Both have 5px margins to buffer it inside of the green container. As you can see, the right side isn't doing that and changes depending on size or device. The right side should look exactly like the correct left side.
Also the Search icon isn't perfectly centered, if anyone has suggestions for that too.

Anyone who has experience with programmaticly updating the SPFileVersion.Properties Hashtable?
I have a special situation where I would like to modify this Hashtable. Most of you will say: "Why on earth would you ever want to change this programmaticly". Believe me, we have our reasons to do so. If necessary I would love to explain this. But atm this has nothing to do with the problem.
I am using this code, but it does not change anything in the "Version History" in the UI.
I've tried several things, I'll just show some easy lines of code which do not work at all:
using (SPSite oSite = new SPSite("[MY URL]"))
using (SPWeb oWeb = oSite.OpenWeb())
SPList oList = oWeb.Lists["Documents 2"];
SPListItem oItem = oList.Items.GetItemById(23);
foreach (SPFileVersion version in oItem.File.Versions)
version.Properties["vti_title"] = "TESTTITLE";
So the above code is not doing anything, I've put a "watch" on version.Properties["vti_title"] and this watch does change to the new value. But it does not get saved to SharePoint ?
I've used Update, SystemUpdate, UpdateOverwriteVersion, SPFile.Update
Why I want to do this:
The fact is I have created a copy/move custom workflow activity which copies or moves files in the entire farm. This also works with RMS protected libraries. It's a "hack" to get documents out of RMS. This was required by the customer for a "read/edit area concept".
Copying files out of libraries with RMS enabled can cause alot of issues because it is simply not supported. But I managed to get around all these issues, only one problem stays: After MOVING (so move, not copy) a file in the farm, the version histories metadata is lost. (only the current versions metadata is shown) (original document: http://i40.tinypic.com/jaf3fb.png , document after move: http://i40.tinypic.com/e5qkx1.png).
So to fix this, I would like to modify each version serperatly and set the correct version metadata as was visible before the move. If you use the default SPFile.MoveTo this version metadata is lost aswell. The only way to get what I want is to move the file using "Manage content and structure"... (this uses SPExport/SPImport, which I am not allowed to use + SPExport/SPImport does not work with RMS enabled libraries)

1920x1200 | 1680x1050 | 1440x900 | 1280x800
2010 Land Rover Range Rover Sport
But the most significant changes on the 2010 Range Rover Sport are to its powertrains. The vehicle can be ordered with either a 510 horsepower LR-V8 5.0-liter supercharged mill, or a 375 hp LR-V8 5.0 liter naturally aspirated engine. The new naturally aspirated vehicle can hit 60 mph in 7.2 seconds, while the supercharged variant takes just 5.9 seconds. Both LR-V8 engines are mated to the ZF HP28 six-speed automatic transmission.

I have an NFS share on an OpenBsd server. When I assess the share from my Ubuntu box I don't seem to have all permission eg write. Also copying a file from the NFS share to the Ubuntu machine can take > 1 hour for a 44mb file. Any suggestions?
I exported the share through

nanejt, you can get a small McDonalds coffee for $1, but this is apparently "ANY SIZE."
I dunno which is better coffee, but you will definitely get more coffee for your money using this deal!
@insainmembrain: I can get any size coffee at McDonalds for $1,bought one yesterday xlarge. I drink a lot of coffee and I like McDonalds better than DD but never had 7-11 though.
Actually the Mcdonalds in my area in MD have any size coffee for $1 right now...it's been that way for at least 3 months, if not longer. Not sure about other places though.
Great find. I'll share it with my friends. Thanks a lot.
I can brew coffee at home for pennies on the dollar. And I have a kewl mug.

brian d foy is a very prolific and incredibly helpful member of SO, especially in a Perl area - predictably. However, I have not observed even remotely equivalent level of engagement from Randal Schwartz (he seems to have more answers about Smalltalk than Perl). Does anyone know why?
(it is, of course, his right and his decision - I'm merely very curious since Brian and Randal seem to be likely to have similar level of participation based on my very surface knowledge of who both of them are and what they do).

The "something different" newsletter for artistic eyewear professionals!
Issue 2 – February 2014
Look for the good in others and pay them a compliment.
By Sue Kleinsasser – Sales Representative/Business Manager
Giving a meaningful compliment is a lost art. While I learned years ago in a Dale Carnegie class how to properly give a compliment that means something, somehow in the 'busyness' of life, it has waned. We tend to give a little flattery or do a little brown-nosing here and there, i.e.: 'I like your hair' or 'I like your handbag'. But those are not words that leave a lasting impression. The next time you want to show appreciation to those around you, be thoughtful in your words. Here are three ways to help you give a meaningful compliment:
* Be specific, genuine and succinct. Hone in on a specific achievement or aspect and focus your words on that. Focus on personal strengths and back up your statements. Evidence gives you credibility and believability so people know the compliments are sincere. Rather than "you did a great job", perhaps you could say, "You have a way of explaining things that is easy for me to understand. Not everyone has such a gift."
* Be patient. Giving the perfect complement means waiting for the perfect moment. If you are forcing the words, your recipient can feel that it is not genuine. It's not about flattery or exaggerated praise – which has the giver's best interest at heart – it's more appreciated when it's timely and genuine.
* Be yourself. You don't need to be a whole new person and start dishing out compliments to co-workers and folks off the street. It's important to possess some self-confidence when you deliver a meaningful complement. Learning how to give these types of compliments will also make you a better – and more appreciative – recipient when you are given a compliment.
Our Frame Picks
If you are looking for a compliment, you are certain to receive one when you wear this Jean Reno 1358 by Cendrine O. Shown here in all three colors (seriously… you and your patients will want all of them!), it is funky but modern.
Multi-colored in green, brown or red, you will love the mixture of matte and shiny acetates. Uplifting with the slight cat eye shape and a unique temple design. Show this piece of to those patients who want something uncommon. Order your kit today. Contact your rep, call us or email us at email@example.com.
Staff Matters
By Sue Kleinsasser – Sales Representative/Business Manager
When you are showing eyewear to your patient, giving positive feedback and ultimately compliments requires practice and thoughtful consideration. And keep in mind, there are two distinct differences.
Compliment the frame when it's on the board or in your hand. Show the magnificence of the frame by highlighting the details in such a way that you are also sharing the features and advantages of the frame itself. Talk about the mix of metal and acetate and how gorgeous the end result is. Show the two color palette (outside and inside of frame) and how their friends will see the beauty of it when it is on the patient's face.
Compliment the patient when it's on their face. 'It looks stunning' becomes "You look stunning". To make the comment more meaningful, share one feature of the frame and why it looks stunning on the patient. For instance "I love the color of this frame. It really makes your blue eyes pop!" Another example might be "I really like the temple off the top of the frame. It's uplifting and gives your face a little smile."
And be certain to give your patient a sincere closing statement. "You are going to LOVE your new eyewear and I know you are going to receive many compliments on them. I can't wait to hear all about them."

Along with the outline for Governor Fletcher's new budget comes some much needed help for the people of Muhlenberg County.
Wednesday, Fletcher announced the state will set aside $113,600 for some immediate improvements to a portion of US 431 near Belton in Muhlenberg County. The stretch is notoriously referred to as "Dead Man's Curve."
After years of accidents and complaints, those voices in Muhlenberg County have been heard by the right people. Now Governor Fletcher says it's time to make some changes for this deadly road. Already, crews have added flashing lights and warning speed signs.
And right now, crews are preparing to remove trees and slice off part of the inside portion of the curve to make it easier to see while driving on the curve. They'll also widen the shoulders and add a new skid resistant surface.
While some residents we spoke with say they're happy about the changes, others say these changes won't be much help until the real problem is solved, straightening out the curve.
That's where federal funds come in. State engineers are developing a plan to completely redesign the dangerous curve, and federal funds are being used to pay for that redesign.
The new plans should be complete by this summer and barring any major delays, reconstruction of the curve could be finished by the summer of 2005.

Back Up Your Computer Automatically with CrashPlan
Time Required: 30 Minutes
Tools You'll Need: CrashPlan
How It Works: You've probably heard people say it a million times before, but you should really back up your computer—and not just to an external hard drive, either. A good, cloud-based backup ensures that you never, ever lose any of your important files—a pain that many of you already know—no matter what happens. The process only takes a little bit of time, and is dead simple to set up. Here's how:
- Download and install CrashPlan, and set up a CrashPlan+ account if you want to back up to CrashPlan's service (which we highly, highly recommend).
- Start up CrashPlan. It will scan your system and suggest the folders that you should back up. Its suggestions should be fine for almost everyone.
- Choose a backup destination at the top of the window. If you're backing up to an external drive, pick "Folders" and choose that drive from the list, and if you're backing up to the internet, pick CrashPlan Central.
- Click the Start button to begin your first backup. It'll take awhile, so don't turn your computer off while it runs—it can even take up to a few days if you're backing up to CrashPlan Central. Once it's done, though, CrashPlan will back up only the files you've changed, every 15 minutes or so.
You can change a lot of other options in CrashPlan, as well as back up to different locations like another computer. This simple setup yields great results for most people. Once you've set it up, you'll rarely—if ever—need to open CrashPlan again.

Create Better Passwords and Store Them in a Password Manager
Time Required: 2 Hours
Tools You'll Need: LastPass
How It Works: Do you use the same password for nearly every site? Is it something easy to remember, like
b00klover1? If so, then it's time to audit your passwords and change them to something more secure. Not only are your accounts notoriously easy to hack (something that's become a real issue lately), but if you use the same password on every site, you make it easier for one hacker to access all your online accounts. A password manager like LastPass will fix both of these problems.
First we'll install LastPass, and then we'll use its password generator to change all of your insecure passwords to something better. Here's how to set it up:
- Download the LastPass extension for your browser and install it. Restart your browser if necessary.
- Set up a LastPass account and give it a strong password that you'll remember. This generator can help you create one.
- Go to a site you use (say, Facebook), and head to the change password prompt, usually buried somewhere in the settings.
- Type your current password in the first box, then click on the box for your new password. Instead of making something up, click on the LastPass button in your browser toolbar and go to Tools > Generate Secure Password. It should generate a random string of characters for you—a truly secure password.
- Click Accept and LastPass will copy your new password into the "New" box on your account page. Confirm your password change. LastPass will save your new password so the next time you log in, it'll autofill the password box before you and log you in.
- Repeat this process for the other sites you visit on a regular basis. You should use a different generated password for every site—that way, if one gets hacked, the hackers don't have access to all your other web accounts too. You can change all your passwords now, or do it over time as you visit these other sites (email, Twitter, your online banking page, and so on).
It seems difficult, and you won't be able to remember these passwords off the top of your head, but you'll be much more secure (after all, the most secure password is one you can't remember). When you need to type in passwords on your smartphone, you can either view your passwords in your LastPass vault on your computer (by clicking the LastPass button), from the LastPass mobile site, or by using the LastPass mobile app that requires a cheap subscription to use.

Keep All Your Notes in One Place with a Cross-Platform Note Taker
Time Required: 30 Minutes (more if you're importing notes)
Tools You'll Need: Evernote
How It Works: If you're the kind of person that has Post-It notes all over your monitor, crumpled up pieces of paper in all your pockets, and endless reminders in a hundred different apps, it's time to consolidate everything into one, cross-platform note-taker. Evernote is the most popular, and with pretty good reason: it can store anything you imagine in one central place, digitize your physical notes, manage to-do lists, and you can search for nearly anything with just a few taps. Nearly every person we interview about productivity names it as the number one app they couldn't live without. And luckily, it's very easy to get started with it.
- Download Evernote and install it on your computer and smartphone. If you don't have an account, create one now.
- Start up Evernote, and start copying any notes you have in other programs into Evernote. You can create a new note by pressing the big "New Note" button at the top.
- Create a few notebooks—like Personal and Work—and add your notes to them from the "Notebooks" dropdown at the top. You can also create a few tags—like Projects, Articles, Lists, or whatever else—and assign them at the top of your note.
- To scan in any physical notes you have (like Post-It notes sitting around), just go to File > New Camera Note and take a picture of your paper note. Once you sync, Evernote will translate any text in the image so you can search for it as if it was a text note. Alternatively, you can just manually type in the note yourself.
- Install the Evernote Web Clipper extension for your browser, which will help you grab nearly anything from the web and send it on over to Evernote—articles you want to read, information you want to add to one of your notes, or even favorite tweets.
This is just a very basic setup. Unlike some of the other tools in this article, Evernote is more about using it than setting it up and forgetting it. Once you've got a few notes in there, though, you can use it to house just about anything. Jot down text notes, save pictures and diagrams, or even save audio notes straight from your phone. The more you use it to store and organize your stuff, the more it'll help in your daily productivity. Learning how to use the search feature will be a big boon, too, especially if your notebooks and tags are well organized. Check out some of the other clever Evernote uses in our Further Reading below for more ideas.

Access Your Important Files Everywhere with Cloud Storage
Time Required: 30 Minutes
Tools You'll Need: Dropbox
How It Works: If you're tired of emailing yourself files, you need to start using a cloud storage service. Cloud storage fixes the problem of multiple computers, which most of us deal with these days. Maybe you have a desktop and a laptop, or a computer at home and at at work. If you're tired of emailing yourself files, it's time to start using a cloud storage service like Dropbox. Once you set it up, you'll forget it's even there and all your important files will appear on all of your computers. You'll even be able to grab them from the web if you're on a computer that isn't yours! Here's how to set it up.
- Download Dropbox for your computers and install it on each one. When you first start it up, it'll ask you to create an account, so do that now. By default, you'll start with 2GB of space, but you can buy more (or get some for free—we'll talk about that later).
- When you start Dropbox for the first time, it'll ask you where you want to store your Dropbox folder. The default location is fine. Go through the wizard to finish up installation.
- Drag any important documents, folders, or other files into your Dropbox folder. You'll see a blue sync badge appear on the icons while those files sync to the internet, and a green checkmark when they're finished. Within minutes your files will appear in the Dropbox folder on all your other computers and everything will stay in sync.
It's really that simple to use. Just start using your Dropbox folder as your main documents archive and everything will be synced to your other machines. You can do a ton more with it, too, like see old versions of your documents and share files with your friends. Just right-click on a file in your Dropbox and go to the Dropbox menu for those options. If you start running out of space in your Dropbox, check out our guide to getting more free space on Dropbox to add more.

Automate Your Budget With Mint
Time Required: 1.5 Hours
Tools You'll Need: Mint
How It Works: We all have our financial vices, but no matter how committed you are to budgeting your money, it's just so darn hard to keep track of. Mint is a free tool that makes it easy: it automatically tracks what you spend, categorizes it, and keeps you constantly up-to-date on how well you're sticking to your budget for those categories. Once you've set it up, you won't have to do anything; Mint tracks it all for you. Here's what you need to do:
- Head to Mint.com and create an account. It'll take you through a short wizard where you'll be asked to provide information about your bank accounts, so it can see your recent transactions.
- Once all your bank accounts have been imported, head to the Spending History page. You should see a list of transactions much like the one you'd see on your bank's web site, except that each transaction will have a category like Groceries, Music, Food, and others. Mint does this automatically, but if it gets something wrong, you can always change the category yourself by clicking on the item and clicking the arrow next to the category name.
- Once you've cleaned up your categories a little bit (if necessary), you go to the Budgets tab. Mint will start you off with a few common ones, but you can edit them to reflect how much money you'd like to budget for food, gas, clothing, and other items every month.
- Once you've imported your accounts and set up your budgets, the only thing you'll need to do is check in regularly and make sure everything's properly sorted. Change any categories that don't seem right, add any cash transactions you've made with the "Add a Transaction" button, or go to Edit Details > Split to split a transaction (like an ATM withdrawal) into multiple ones.
With just a bit of regular upkeep, you'll be able to get an accurate picture of your budget at any time from Mint's web site or their mobile app for iPhone or Android. It still requires you take an active role in managing your budgets, but it's much much easier than doing it all by hand, since Mint already tracks and categorizes everything you spend.

Save Yourself Hours of Typing with Text Expansion
Time Required: 30 Minutes
Tools You'll Need: PhraseExpress (Windows) or TypeIt4Me (Mac)
How It Works: We all have a few things that we type over and over again every day. Maybe it's your address, a reply you send to a common email, a template for a document, or even a complicated character that doesn't have a shortcut on your keyboard. Text expansion saves you time by letting you type these large blocks of text with just three or four keystrokes.
For example, say I have to type out my address a few times a day. Instead of trudging through it every time, I could set up a "snippet" that types my entire address when I type
,home. Immediately after I type those four characters, my entire address shows up preformatted, so I can move on to more important things. Add in all the other repetitive typing you do, and you can save yourself quite a bit of time and frustration over the day. Here's how to set it up:
- Download and install a text expander like PhraseExpress (for Windows) or TypeIt4Me (for OS X). Start it up to see your current list of snippets—it'll usually come with a few to start you off, but you can delete them if you like (in fact, if you're using PhraseExpres, you should delete them-they'll cause more problems than they solve, and the "Websites" folder is particularly annoying).
- To create one, click the New button and type the full snippet—that is, the text you want to finish with (like your full address)—in the big content box. Give the snippet a label (like "Address") and an abbreviation (the short text you'll type to insert your snippet, like
,home. Save your snippet to finish.
- Open up a text editor and try your snippet out. If it works, you've done it correctly, and you can repeat this process with other snippets you want to add. You may only be able to think of a few now, but as you go about your work, you'll find tons of other text blocks that you type throughout the day that you can then go put into your text expander.
It sounds a little silly at first, but it really will save you time once you start using it. You can add your address, email signature, phone number, email address, or other salutations to your text expander and use them all day long. You can even tell your snippet to put your cursor in a certain location after you expand it, or tell it to paste the contents of the clipboard at a certain spot in your snippet (like someone's name for salutations in a letter). It's only limited to what you can think up. Check out the further reading section for ideas on how to use this genius tool.

Access Your Home Computer From Just About Anywhere
Time Required: 30 Minutes
Tools You'll Need: TeamViewer
How It Works: Dropbox can help keep your files in sync between computers, but what if you need to check on something on your home computer while you're out and about with your laptop or phone? This is where remote access comes in. With a program like TeamViewer, you can immediately log into your home computer and use it as if it were sitting right in front of you, which can be a lifesaver. Setting it up is very easy:
- Download and install TeamViewer on all your computers. Start it up and create an account by going to Connection > Set Up Unattended Access. This will make all your computers accessible with just a quick username and password combo.
- Log Into your account on your home computer. You should see that computer's name in TeamViewer's list of computers on the right-hand side. Leave TeamViewer and this computer running when you leave the house.
- When you want to use that computer from afar, start up TeamViewer on your second computer and log into your account. You should immediately see your first computer in the list. Double-click on it to log into it and use it remotely. You can perform tasks, grab files you've forgotten, or do just about anything else as if you were using it directly.
Simple, huh? You can even download their mobile app and use your computer from your smartphone or tablet, which is really amazing.

In [M. Gromov, Endomorphisms of symbolic algebraic varieties, J. Eur. Math. Soc. (JEMS) 1 (1999), 109–197], Gromov introduces the notion of pre-injective map. Recasting this notion in the setting of Abelian groups we get the following:
Definition. Given a finite discrete Abelian group $G$, an (infinite) index set $X$ and taking the product $G^X$ endowed with the product topology, we say that a continuous endomorphism $\phi:G^X\to G^X$ is pre-injective if the restriction of $\phi$ to $G^{(X)}$ (the subgroup of elements with finite support) is injective.
The Pontryagin-Van Kampen dual of $\phi$ is just an endomorphism $\widehat\phi$ of the discrete group $G^{(X)}$. Can we say that $\phi$ is pre-injective just looking at $\widehat\phi$? In other words, what is the algebraic property of $\widehat\phi$ which corresponds to the pre-injectivity of $\phi$?

You are beautiful no matter your size. I saw you in concert years ago in Tyler TX when Derks Bentley was on tour there too. You have been performing for years and doing great but don't forget what's the most important to you and keep God first. We make sacrificea in life for those we love and remember each day what is most important. You are in your 30'search and have accomplished so much in your life and will continue too. But maybe it's time you started thinking of adding a little more to your life like your friend Carrie did. It would be awesome if you had a little LambShell pitter/patting around. Maybe it's time for you to start thinking of change in your life.

For a fixed $n$, let $D_n(x) = \{ d|n : d \leq x \}$ . We assume here $p \leq x \leq n/p$, where $p$ is the smallest prime factor of $n$.
For example if $n = p^i$ for some prime $p$ then $D_n(x) \sim \log x/ \log p$.
What are the other 'nice' distribution function of divisors that are satisfied by an infinite family of integers ( like $\log x/ \log p$ for $\{p^i, i \in \mathbb{N}\}$ ).
Here 'nice', means it is easy to do calculus (integrate or differentiate) with such functions.
