How can I change the Owner/group of a folder in SCO?
I did:
ls -l
and got the following:
drwxr-xr-x 9 root root 512 Jul 2 10:09 opt
I have tried:
chown /opt
But that hasn't worked.
The user I am wanting to use is: test
I have asked another question (different thread) about how to change the folder permissions, but realized I still won't be able to create folders in the /opt folder with root being the owner and group - if test is not part of the root group.

Is there an interface which exposes events for when a TOC selected item changes?
I can find snippets showing how to get the currently selected feature from the TOC. However, I have not been able to find anything that allows you to track when a selection changes - only query the current state.
What would be the best approach (preferably other than polling) to track the user's current layer selected within ArcMap and ArcScene?

What is the difference between points and pixels?
A pixel is a single square 'picture element' (hence pix-el), i.e. a single dot in your image. A 10x10 image is made up of a set of pixels in a grid 10 wide by 10 high, totaling 100 pixels.
The 'point' (pt) on the other hand is a unit of length, commonly used to measure the height of a font, but technically capable of measuring any length. In applications, 1pt is equal to exactly 1/72th of an inch; in traditional print technically 72pt is 0.996264 inches, although I think you'll be forgiven for rounding it up!
How many pixels = 1pt depends on the resolution of your image. If your image is 72ppi (pixels per inch), then one point will equal exactly one pixel.
Point is a physical unit of length, used in typography. It's equal to 1/12 Pica, and 1 Pica = 1/6 inch. So 1 pt = 1/72 inch.
Therefore, on a 72 ppi display, 1 point = 1 pixel.
In CSS
A pt is 1/72 of an in, and a px is 1/96 of an in.
A px is therefore 0.75 pt [source].
In CSS, everything is somewhat abstracted, so a unit such as a "pt" is not necessarily one point in physical size, especially on a screen, an "in" is not necessarily one inch in size, and so forth. Even a "px" is no longer necessarily one pixel in size anymore: Everything is scaled to be consistent with a hypothetical 96 ppi device viewed at normal reading distance, meaning that on screens that differ significantly from 96 ppi or from normal reading distance, everything will be scaled, but still maintain the same relationships ie a pt will still be 1.33334 px units and still be 1/72 of an in unit.
In print
In print, a point was traditionally somewhere from around 1/67 of an inch to 1/72.5 of an inch.
In digital mediums, it has become a de-facto standard for a point to be exactly 1/72 of an inch nowadays, though there are still alternative measurements in less common use which vary slightly from 1/72, but not by much.
In print, you don't usually measure in pixels, because they are a technical detail about the target printer or device that are not an absolute measurement. For instance, a design may be printed at 125 dpi, 300 dpi or at 1200 dpi and still be the same physical dimensions.
A point is a typographic measure, that means it is a physical measure of length, like miles, inches, meters or an astronomical unit. Historically, the length of a point varied from different locales and cultures, but with the rise of desktop publishing and internationalisation the following convention has established:
A pixel is the smallest unit of digital image data. That is the same to say a pixel is without actual physical size. Pixels are used to display an image on screen or print it, converting the image information in pixels to physical representation. Screens have their pixel density measured in ppi (pixels per inch), whereas printed images are measured by dpi (dots per inch) - for both the same amount of image pixels may result in hugely variable physical sizes, e.g., a 100 X 100 pixel image will be huge displayed on a outdoor advertising screen, or tiny when printed on paper at 300 dpi.
Device proliferation complicates the terms
Generally, the preceding answers are accurate in terms of distinguishing between print and digital. However, new devices have introduced further complexity.
Apple has been in the habit of using "point" to more efficiently refer to "reference pixels". From Apple's iOS Developer Library:
Either term indicates a value that differs from the actual device pixel density: Apple crams four pixels into a point to effectively increase the sharpness of the image. On other devices (like some from HTC) that density is even greater, as high as six pixels per point -- higher than print!

Is it healthy or is it damaging to exercise a muscle while it's still sore from a previous workout?
Sign up

In general, training while sore is perfectly fine and usually beneficial, subject to a few caveats discussed below. Almost every serious athlete frequently trains while still a bit sore from the previous workout.
Image from the wikipedia article:
The first thing to understand is supercompensation: a short while after training, your muscles end up a bit stronger. If you train again during this period, your next supercompensation period will be slightly stronger again. Repeat this cycle with proper timing over and over again and you'll gain strength in the most efficient way possible. Wait too long and the muscle returns back to a "normal" state and strength gains are slowed.
The second thing to understand is that soreness has nothing to do with the effectiveness of your workout. It's more of a side effect, which is actually not well understood. Depending on your training level and workouts, you may still be sore even when your muscles are in the supercompensation period. If this happens, you just need to put up with it and train sufficiently hard to keep the gains coming.
BTW, this is also a reason why split routines - where you train each muscle once a week - are very inefficient for the vast majority of beginner & intermediate lifters. Your muscles hit the supercompensation period in far less than a week and have started to return to normal by the time you train again. In this respect, fully body routines 2-3 times per week are going to produce strength gains much faster.
Some caveats: if you are sore to the point that it interferes with the workout (ie, you can't do the motion correctly), then you won't gain much from exercise and are better off resting. A rule of thumb to determine this is to do a thorough warm-up: if everything loosens up and you feel ok, train on. If you are still stiff and it hurts to move, rest. If you are new to a certain type of exercise, soreness levels will be much higher, so the first few weeks may require skipping more workouts than normal (don't make it a habit though). Finally, more advanced lifters who are moving a lot of weight will take longer to recover, which will impact things like workout frequency and volume.
Should you workout, my answer is an unequivocal yes, while I do not know the frequency of your workouts or the intensity. I workout each muscle type every 48 hours even if the muscles still ache. I have been doing this for many years and had no issues. Most trainers recommend it.
Working out often is great for building muscle and maintaining a routine is just as important even if you do not feel like you should. Do it.
In the gym this feeling is called DOMS (delayed onset muscle soreness), and is caused by muscle tearing brought on by your previous workout session. Its also a sign you had a good exerting workout.
You will not feel DOMS often, once you get used to your workouts or reach a plateau with your routine you will stop feeling the DOMS and its a sign you need to make the routine more challenging.
Your muscles need time to recover. Thats why you don't work on your arms every day for example.
However, stretching and light workouts can actually help soreness and stiffness.
Truth about stretching
I would say it isn't a good idea to do heavy training consecutively on the same muscle group.
sometimes when you're starting out a new exercise like a cardio routine your muscles can get sore because they're not used to being worked. In that case I would say that it would be just fine (with moderation).
Either way you need to let your muscles recover properly and it's a good idea to change up your routine day-to-day or to have a staggered schedule.
In any case, overworking can hurt your results.
Recover no matter what you do. If you are not sure if it has been long enough, start with your warm ups. If you feel better while warming up, go ahead into your workout.
If you have been eating right and resting, then you should be o.k.
We're looking for long answers that provide some explanation and context. Don't just give a one-line answer; explain why your answer is right, ideally with citations. Answers that don't include explanations may be removed.

50% off Papa Johns Large Pizzas
Use new code VOTE50 online to get half off all large pizzas at Papa Johns.
Good through February 2nd.
33 Comments add a comment
Support your local pizza business. Look for a good one on Yelp. You can do it.
@thericochet: Well said
Sorry, Papa John's tastes like millionaire greed-tears now. Can't order from them again.
I can't speak for every PJ's out there, but I like getting pizza from the chain near my work. I have met the shop owner and he's a pretty decent gentleman who has donated a lot of money to charity events and school activities. Plus he's been an avid support of hiring disabled workers whom always seem pretty happy everytime I stop by. It's just a shame that the Papa John's owner can be a melodramatic whiner.
To each his/her own.
I checked it out for our dinner, no luck by us for. Can't believe he treated workers so bad. Im glad deal did not work.some peoples choices are sad to hear....
@bigray57: You can understand why his employees have to go without health care. Must cost a bundle just to heat and cool that HOUSE.
i have not spent menu price at papa johns for years, to be honest i only order from them since they constantly run 50% off or free
Is lousy pizza at a low price still a good deal ?
And once again, I have to say to all the Debby Downers, if you don't like Papa John's pizza, why do you even come here to comment. For example, the moron who posts the picture of the "castle" every time. Quit hating! You just wish you could make a pizza like Papa John's! No reason to ever pay menu price at Papa John's with all the discounts they offer, but the pizza is delicious. I'd rather have a frozen or microwave pizza than some slop a local pizzeria tries to throw together.
Spam picture reported yet again.
I love these liberals who complain about everything. Sorry the world isn't perfect for everyone; however, those who work hard and push their limits achieve greatness. Those who just complain about choices an executive made due to Obamacare (ironic that liberals always complain about Papa John's, no?). A minimum wage restaurant doesn't need to cover healthcare. That's illogical.
First, Pappa John's is a franchise, so the owner of the individual restaurant probably doesn't live in a castle. Secondly please make sure to tell us how we should spend our money, not just the wealthy, I mean we all should probably listen to you tell us how to spend our money. Third, people who complain about the rich are coveting , try not to do that. Forth, I like Pappa John's pizza, and I've worked for a pizza restaurant, and didn't expect benefits to be paid out, I expected what I got paid, that was the agreement work=money.
Sigh Is a deal posting page really the place to voice political grievances? People can make their own choices. Let's let people save money if this is theirs.
Good deal worked for me. I do prefer Papa Murphy's Take n' Bake Pizzas but rather than drive 2.5 hours to buy a decent pizza I'll take this deal thanks.
Hey all. Just a reminder that everyone is entitled to an opinion and an opinion can't be wrong. Facts supporting an opinion might be up for debate but an opinion is not.
So please do not attack or go after another poster for their opinion. Respect each other and keep any angst pointed at the proper parties... not each other.
Thank you.
@thericochet: Not all of us are so lucky. http://www.yelp.com/search?find_desc=&find_loc=idaho+falls%2C+id&ns=1#cflt=pizza&show_filters=1 There is one, count em, one highly rated indy pizza place where I live. I've been there. I don't love it. Very inconsistent quality, and very, very slow for NY pizza. When I lived in California, I never touched "chain" pizza. But, out here, 7.50 for mediocre chain pizza sounds better to me than an often grease-slimed, fair-quality NY-style pizza that can take an hour and a half to get, and getting to pay upwards of $25 for the privilege. And that's when they aren't busy. I'm happy to pay that much for good pizza, and do every time I travel to CA or another more densely-populated region, but at home, when I want "pizza", I typically either purchase whatever deal the big chains have, or go to the local buffet pizza place (sadly, self-titled "gourmet" because they include such extravagant toppings as "buffalo chicken").
is it a good deal?
Boycott his sorry excuse for a pizza. My entire family and friends have stopped going there. This guy is so rich he built himself a CASTLE to live in, but he can't afford to pay part of his worker's healthcare. Boycotts do work as Darden (the parent company of Olive Garden) tried the same stunt and when people stopped going to their restaurants, they reversed course.
@jclemons01: It's good to be loved...
Yeah I can't wait until one day I can run a successful business and skimp on everything... you know... like important things like AUTO INSURANCE and make my drivers pay for it themselves... Something you probably don't know... commercial auto insurance is expensive. They don't provide cars... and if you get in an accident, they log you out and tell you to tell the cops/insurance company you were on your way home. And then once I become successful, I'll treat my employees to poor wages and make them work part-time because there's always a loophole. You people that are giving the people negative votes because of their opinions are the same ones worried about a few thousand dollars for someone on welfare VS multiple millions of dollars that cheapskates like Papa John are doing whatever they can to avoid. So why don't you just go back to your bigot-fil-a and have a nice warm intolerant sandwich? Oh yeah my bad... I'm just jealous of "SUCCESS". Creepy nickname for old guy.Papa John
@stevensr2002: you must be papa managment
They are FRANCHISES people. Get a GRIP. Local businesses. Local owned. They employ locally. Their pizza is GREAT. 'nuff said.
Just stop!
This is about the 50% off deal, not your personal opinions about the owner or the pizza. If you don't like it then move along. There is no reason or excuse to sit here and argue over the internet. Your going to get nowhere but upset.
If you like the deal, thank the OP and upvote. If you don't then just downvote and move along. No point in spamming a thread with hate.
How dare a pizza place not support Big Powerful Government (the death of every country). I'm ordering 3 large pizzas tonight. Thanks Papa Johns for standing up against tyranny.
@rmsalt: Tyranny? Really? I'm prone to hyperbole myself so I get where you're coming from. Like yesterday it was literally 5000 degrees below zero outside. Literally.
Standing up against tyranny? Really? You people never cease to amaze me. And yet I'm the one with the negative votes... Oh well just keep attacking the working class. Not like Americans needed health care anyways. The same people call themselves "Christians"
Go buy 3 pizzas so I get to pay for your triple bypass surgery too...
@thunderthighs: So who made you the queen of the universe.......oh, wait. You ARE the queen of this universe. Apologies, majesty.
Just to clarify--the voting is for he superbowl coin toss, not for your favorite pizza store! And if you don't like Papa John's, don't buy it, you are entitled to your opinion, but you don't have to call people names if they don't agree with you.
@thunderthighs Thanks I get tired of all the nonsense.
I checked it out for our dinner, no luck by us for. Can't believe he treated workers so bad. Im glad deal did not work.some peoples choices are sad to hear....
Webster Dictionary- Tyranny: A form of government in which the ruler is a dictator (not restricted by a constitution or laws) Yep, we're heading there.
Was planning on ordering a pizza tonight anyways. Thanks for the heads up.
@thericochet: At twice the price for half the pizza. A PJs large enough to feed me and my friend (with pizza bones for the dog and a piece left over for a workday lunch) with all the toppings we want is $7.58 with tax on this deal. A little pizza I can eat by myself with two or three toppings runs $9-14 plus tax at the local eateries. I am a big proponent of local eateries, but the locals can't touch the chains for price and quantity. And I like both quite well, so I am not making some huge sacrifice in taste for the cheap pizza. We have an enormous military base here and pizza is extremely competitive. Pizza places make good pizzas, as ordered, and fast (always ready for pick up within 20 minutes after I place the online order), or they go out of business very quickly.

BELTON (October 3, 2012)—Closing statements were set for 8:30 a.m. Wednesday in the assault trial of a Temple man who prosecutors shot at a Temple police officer with the officer's own weapon.
Jeffrey Kindred, 40, is on trial in 426th District Court charged with attempting to shoot Temple police Officer Wesley Carr with Carr's own .40-caliber Glock service weapon after Carr tried to apprehend Kindred following a chase.
Carr and another officer were treated for injuries after the incident, as was Kindred.
Both the state and defense rested their cases on Tuesday with the defense failing to call any witnesses.
The incident happened on April 15 after police got a call from a convenience store clerk who reported a man had stolen cigarettes from the store, then left after buying gasoline.
Store clerk Christine Smith told officers when they arrived she had recognized the man and she described the vehicle he left in.
Police later spotted the vehicle headed north in the 2800 block of South MLK Drive and stopped it in the 1600 block of South 24th Street on the railroad overpass.
After identifying the driver, who gave officers a false name, police determined he was named in an arrest warrant charging escape, but when they challenged the man about his identity, he ran, jumping over the guardrail and heading down a steep embankment to a wooded area about 50 yards away.
One officer gave chase while the second stayed with the woman who was a passenger in the vehicle.
The officer caught up with the man in the tree line and what police described Monday as a prolonged struggle ensued as he attempted to handcuff the suspect.
"As the struggle continued, the suspect began to actively assault the officer and was able to remove the officer's issued duty weapon from its holster and bring it up toward the officer's head," police said in a statement released at the time.
The officer pushed the gun away just as the man pulled the trigger and the shot went into the ground.
A second shot was fired as the two continued to struggle, and it also missed the officer.
Meanwhile the second officer, who heard the struggle and the shots, ran to assist.
He and other officers who arrived to help were able to disarm the suspect who was subdued and handcuffed.
Kindred was taken by ambulance to Scott & White Hospital where he was treated for minor injuries to the face and upper body.
After treatment, he was taken to the Bell County Jail.
The first officer was bitten in the arm and suffered a broken finger in the struggle with the suspect and he and the second officer also suffered scratches and abrasions from thorns.
They were also treated at Scott & White.

What are the main differences between synthetic and dino oil, and is one always better than the other?
Sign up

A full synthetic oil, as the name states, is "synthesized". By that, they mean it is made in a lab, it is a manufactured product.
Organic (Dino) oil is a product of nature.
So the big difference is the environment in which the oil is made in.
The main selling point on synthetic over organic is because it is manufactured, it is made in a controlled environment. That means far less impurities and a more consistent product.
Organic oil will be influenced by what it was made from, what was in the ground where it was extracted from, etc.
Another way to think about it is synthetic is an additive process. They start with nothing and add in the components they want until they get the end product.
Organic oil is a reductive process, they start with an unrefined product and filter out all the stuff they don't want until they have what they want left.
Wikipedia has a great page on Synthetic Oils, specifically their performance.
It's not a case of one being unconditionally better than the other, for automobile applications. For example:
Though many people do not drive there cars hard enough to need synthetic oils being able to go 10k miles before a change they are cheaper in the long run though more expensive per oil change. And when living in an area where temperatures get below -20 it can really help with starting. Also if care about the environment they are better for it too.

For bash script, I can use
"$@" to access arguments. What's the equivalent when I use an alias?
Aliases are like commands in that all arguments to them are passed as arguments to the program they alias. For instance, if you were to alias
If you want to have actual control over how the arguments are interpreted, then you could write a function like so:
You don't have to do anything, actually; aliases do this automatically. For instance:
You will see foo.txt's first page, and
Adding to the present answers, an important thing to realize about how aliases work is that all the parameters you type after an aliased command will be used literally at the end. So there is no way to use alias for two commands (piped or not), out of which the first should interpret the parameters. To make it clear, here's an example of something that would not work as expected:

I belong to a housing cooperative in the arctic and the temperature drops below -40 C. We are having problems with mold on the ceilings in the bathroom. The buildings were built in 1984 with an air ex-changer that is suppose to take air from the bathroom but they do not work well or for some not at all. There are no operable windows in the bathroom. I live along and washed my ceilings done in 2006 with Javex and painted, I leave the door open and the mold has not reappeared. Some of our members are worried it is black mold and demanding an exhaust fan be installed. We are hesitant at putting in a fan to exhaust to the outside as it will draw a lot of warm air outside and cause an escalation in heating costs. My question: can the exhaust fan be installed to draw the steam from the bathroom just to the outside of the bathroom into the hall area? Would this cause any problems? We live in a very dry climate and I thought perhaps the moist air from the bathroom would be good for the rest of the house. Many thanks for your help with this.
We have dry cold winters as well, -35C, but not arctic. We exhaust bath moisture outside, but our fuel costs are pretty cheap. It would be worth estimating just how much extra heating costs are incurred by exhausting outside, it may not be that bad. Or a good argument why not to go outside. Excessive fan use can be limited by installing timer or occupancy switches.
I suspect the air exchanger doesn't work well because it ices up. It's worth investigating the cause though, in case it is just a clogged filter. A direct exhaust ices up outside around the outlet instead of inside the exchanger. The ice build up can be dramatic after many weeks below freezing and no sun. Another reason against outside exhaust besides being inefficient.
I don't think exhausting from one small space to another is a good idea. If your idea is to work, it would need to exhaust into the largest space. Perhaps above a heat source. I think some will find this objectionable, it's a bit unsanitary sounding. Sort of like using your roommate's damp bath towel. Nothing really wrong with it, yet quite unappealing. Especially if someone used the fan to remove odors instead of moisture! Eww. It's also possible that despite the dryness, heavy moisture load may just be too much to be dispersed within the dwelling.
You should focus on a workable air exchanger solution first. It is the only solution that is both energy efficient and fully sanitary. A direct exhaust may turn out to not be overly expensive, but it's still inefficient and should be avoided. Moving the moisture around inside may work, but should be the last resort, it just sounds a bit unsanitary, and it may not even work in all cases.

I have been using my D40 with 18-55mm kit lens for four years now and love it to no end. Two and a half years ago I fell down face front in a steep beach slope while I was wearing the D40 around my neck and loads of sand got lodged in the lens. At the time I had difficulties while zooming in and out, and the auto-focusing wouldn't just work. After a while, zoom and the focus started working normally.
In the last year or so, I have noticed that the auto-focus would stop working for brief periods of time. Of late the auto-focus has stopped working altogether. Whenever I try to auto-focus, I can hear the motor try and fail. So I have started to adjust to the manual focus and am started getting the hang of it.
I am also considering buying a tripod and the wireless remote. I understand the core concepts of photography, but I have only used the camera in a hobbyist way and not to produce seriously good pictures.
How can I make the best of use of my D40? Would D40 be useful to get some great shots that I could potentially use for a portfolio?

CHARLIE GIBSON: Well, if you were with us just a few moments ago, you know that Brian Ross was here reporting on specific warnings of an attack ignored by Saudi authorities. So, we're going to turn now to the Saudi Ambassador, Prince Bandar, who spoke to Senior National Correspondent Claire Shipman. She wanted a response to those serious charges that Saudi Arabia ignored the American ambassador's requests for extra security. [BEGIN VIDEOTAPED INTERVIEW].
PRINCE BANDAR BIN SULTAN: He did - absolutely - request enforcing security at that compound with the air force people in it, and we did what was needed.
CLAIRE SHIPMAN: Your point - that our ambassador, Robert Jordan, is just unaware of the additional security measures that were put into place?
PRINCE BANDAR: All I'm saying is yes, our security agencies, particularly in the air force, came to the conclusion they had adequate measures there.
MS. SHIPMAN: The U.S. ambassador is described as quite angry at this point, and he insists that the security measures he asked for did not take place.
PRINCE BANDAR: There is no one hundred percent security when a determined, crazy, evil person is determined to die. But what we can do, however, is pursue them vigorously, and when we get them, we bring them to justice, try them, and punish them swiftly and harshly. This is not going to be an O.J. Simpson kind of trial.
MS. SHIPMAN: That shoot-out in Riyadh last week where a large cache of weapons was found, but the bulk of the terrorists got away - a lot of people think those may be the same people who conducted this latest atrocity. Is there a sense that you could literally just use some law enforcement help from the United States?
PRINCE BANDAR: We didn't strike it -- strike gold in the first time, yes. We're guilty of not being perfect, but nobody can question the fact that we've been after those people with a vengeance. And assistance, yes, when we need it, we ask for it, and our friends have always responded to us. And there is much more cooperation than meets the eye, Claire.
MS. SHIPMAN: In the Khobar Towers bombing case, U.S. law enforcement was fairly frustrated that they did not get access to any of these suspects. And I certainly think an assurance from you right now would go a long way toward reassuring Americans that our law enforcement will have access to terrorism suspects in your country.
PRINCE BANDAR: His Royal Highness the Crown Prince, Prince Abdullah, has given instructions to all levels of our government and agencies to pursue vigorously these criminals and bring them to justice, and to work with our allies and friends around the world, particularly the United States.
MS. SHIPMAN: I wonder if you have a personal message for any of the families killed in the attacks?
PRINCE BANDAR: The people who did it are evil. There is nothing you can do to alleviate the pain of people who lost loved ones except, I tell you, it breaks my heart, it really does, and I feel for them.

The most lovable dog is a chihuahua.........for all you bitches and ho's who don't get it !!!
The chihuaua is so small.
by liz November 14, 2003
A small small little dog usually the size of a kitten. This type of dog was bred for it's cute looks and, because of this, chihuahuas are popular with some people. Chihuahuas normally have large ears, big eyes, and a small body, making it look babyish and cute. Sometimes these dogs bark incessantly and, despite their innocent looks, can be vicious!
Chihuahua lover - "Awww, look at that little chihuahua!"
Chihuahua hater - "Shut up you crazy little beast!"

Question: Integrate $\frac{1}{\sqrt{6x-x^2-5}}$
My Working:
$$\int{\frac{1}{\sqrt{6x-x^2-5}}} = \int{\frac{1}{\sqrt{-(x^2-6x+5)}}} = \int{\frac{1}{\sqrt{-((x-3)^2-3^2+5)}}} = \int{\frac{1}{\sqrt{-((x-3)^2-4)}}}$$
Is it right so far? Because I think I should be using the formula
$$\int{\frac{1}{\sqrt{a^2-(x+b)^2}}} = \sin^{-1} \left( \frac{x+b}{a} \right)+c$$
$-4$ can't fit into $a^2$ can it? I haven't covered complex numbers yet, so I must have made a mistake?

John Kenneth Galbraith & Johnnie Rebecca Carr
March 31, 1996
7:30 p.m.
Irma B. Moore Hall Auditorium
– Clifford J. Durr
John Kenneth Galbraith
World Renowned Economist, Harvard Professor, Writer and Lecturer, Advisor to Presidents
Johnnie Rebecca Carr
President of Montgomery Improvement Association, Montgomery Advertiser 1996 "Citizen of the Year"
John Kenneth Galbraith is the Paul M. Warburg Professor of Economics Emeritus at Harvard University. He is internationally known for his development of Keynesian and post-Keynesian economics, the economics of the modern large firm, as well as for his writing and his active involvement in American politics.
Professor Galbraith has received some forty-five honorary degrees from universities worldwide, including Harvard University, Oxford University, the University of Paris, Moscow State University, and the University of Toronto.
Professor Galbraith has had a distinguished career in American and international politics. A Democrat, Galbraith served as President John F. Kennedy's ambassador to India from 1961 to 1963. Under President Franklin D. Roosevelt, Galbraith served as the deputy administrator in the Office of Price Administration in the early 1940s, where he organized and administered the wartime system of price controls. He also served as director of the U.S. Strategic Bombing Survey in 1945. For his public service, Galbraith was awarded the Medal of Freedom in 1946.
Professor Galbraith, known for his lucid, persuasive writing style, has published many books and articles. The Affluent Society(1958), for which he won the Tamiment Book Award and the Sidney Hillman Award, challenged the myth of the U.S. economy's reliance on the gross national product for its social stability, positing instead that consumers' taste for luxury goods dictated the economy's focus at the expense of the common welfare. The New Industrial State (1967) and Economics and the Public Purpose (1973) continued the examination of this thesis, to critical and popular acclaim.
Johnnie Rebecca Carr
The Montgomery Advertiser's 1996 Citizen of the Year, Johnnie Rebecca Carr was one of the first people called when former classmate, Rosa L. Parks, was arrested in 1955 for defying segregated seating rules on municipal buses. Out of the arrest came the bus boycott and the Montgomery Improvement Association, which Mrs. Carr has led since 1967. She is the fourth president of the association, which was first led by the Rev. Martin Luther King. The Montgomery Improvement Association was instrumental in supporting many lawsuits in the 1950s and 1960s, including Mrs. Carr's suit to enroll her own son in Sidney Lanier High School.
Mrs. Carr has been a voice of reconciliation and wisdom for over forty years of involvement in the continuing struggle for Civil Rights. She is the guiding spirit of many organizations, including The Friendly Supper Club and One Montgomery, and is a member of Leadership Montgomery. Mrs. Carr has been a bridge between the conflict of segregation and the promise of integration for many years.

When the crew learn that the ship is set to automatically return to Earth they are clearly disturbed by this. What is Earth like at this time in the Alien story? What has happened to Earth to make them so afraid of returning there?
In the film, Johner says, "Earth? I'm not going to that fucking slum."
A deleted final scene actually shows us the state of the planet - and it doesn't look pretty. It would appear that a cataclysmic event has left the planet a barren wasteland.
I, too, would be reluctant to return to Earth.
I believe that they blew up the ship ultimately to stop the possibility of an alien infestation from occurring on earth. This has always been Ripley's mission in the previous films...therefore her Human half took over in the end.
My assumption was that although they didn't like earth they didn't want to see it overrun by the alien species.
They were afraid of returning there because the aliens would be unstoppable.

Ten Lectures on the Use of Medicinals from the Personal Experience of Jiao Shu De (9780912111629)
Publisher: Paradigm Publications
Binding: Hardcover
This text is a fine example of how clinical medicine can be successfully delivered to students and practitioners. During his more than 60 years of clinical experience, Jiao Shu-De has taught a range of students from barefoot doctors to advanced graduates of China�s top traditional medical schools, and has developed considerable skills in transmitting Chinese medicine. His lectures and his numerous published works give students and practitioners access to the knowledge and skill of one of the most eminent living teachers and writers in the field.
Dr. Jiao discusses approximately 300 Chinese medicinal herb substances in practical terms. He begins each section with basic information about a given substance such as taste, temperature, and entering channels. This is followed by a discussion of the functions and indications for the substance. Here, Dr. Jiao gives the details of specific practical applications for each medicinal, including representative formulas for each given function, and also information about specific preparations and dosages, and comparisons with other medicinals having similar or related actions.
Ten Lectures supplements standard Chinese materia medica with copious detail on clinical applications from a personal clinical experience -- information about the medicinals that is not available in any current English-language materia medica. For example, the information comparing and contrasting medicinals having similar functions can help practitioners make better clinical decisions. Dr. Jiao also discusses a specific medicinal�s actions in the context of well-known and frequently used formulas. Within practical discussions of medicinal agents, he explains fundamental theory, allowing all levels of student or practitioner to gain increased understanding. Dr. Jiao elucidates information that a practitioner may have already memorized but in a way that allows for better clinical implementation. The Preface provides critical information about the study of the materia medica and the use of prescriptions. The final chapter discusses formula organization with specific examples from Dr. Jiao�s own clinical experience.

Psychological Issues in Genetic Testing for Breast Cancer
Please use for reference only.
Lerman, C. and Croyle
Last Modified: November 1, 2001
Reprinted with Permission From: Archives of Internal Medicine, 154:609-616. Funded by AHCPR Grant HS06660 From No. 176, July 1994 Research Activities of the Agency for Health Care Policy and Research, p. 28
Previous studies suggest that notifying persons about their risks for cancer can have serious negative psychological consequences that may impair adherence to prevention recommendations, either because of denial or fear of discovering cancer. This poses unique challenges for genetic counselors who must inform patients of their breast cancer risk based on genetic testing results, according to the authors. They recommend that genetic counselors provide patients with pretest counseling, ensure the patient's informed consent before testing, be aware of and minimize adverse psychological consequences, provide or arrange for followup care, and promote breast cancer prevention and surveillance techniques. The authors also caution that genetic information has implications, not only for the individuals who undergo testing but also for their partners, children, siblings, and parents and followup support should be extended to family members as well.

Dear Editor,
Let me see if I understand this.
If a madman kills thousands of people in a foreign country with gas and nerve agents, we intervene for humanitarian reasons. We cannot allow a madman to kill innocent people.
If a doctor kills a living being by dragging it out of its mother's womb and stabbing it in the neck, that's a legal choice
It's a legal choice that we have chosen to commit in this country over 53 million times.
Don't you just love living in this modern "Christian Nation"

Back in the early 20th century, long before computers or telephones were standard, postcards were like e-mail. The letter carrier stopped by three or four times each day and postcards were cheap, costing a mere penny to mail. You could send a card in the morning to a friend across the city to set up a date that night. It would arrive around noon, and your friend still had time to confirm before dinner.
Businesses learned that postcards were an easy way to advertise, and might print up thousands, says Jerry McCoy, a D.C. deltiologist (postcard enthusiast). Last week at the Smithsonian's Postal Museum, McCoy, who works at the Washington, D.C. library's Washingtoniana division, gave a presentation on what he calls "hometown Washington" postcards.
These old cards go beyond Washington's iconic monuments, and leave a legacy of businesses, shops and restaurants of a bygone era. They "illustrate how much of our city has grown, changed and disappeared over the last century," he says.

A long time ago I've seen a paper considering, given $\ell$ fixed, estimates for
$$ \sum_{n \leq x, (n, \ell) = 1} 1 $$
Of course, this is easy to estimate with a trivial error term of $O(\varphi(l))$. However in the paper I am looking for the authors attempted obtaining better bounds, using some Fourier analysis (in particular the Fourier series for the fractional part of x). I think, bounds in the sum
$$ \sum_{n \leq x} (n, \ell) $$ are essentially an equivalent variation of the problem, so references on this problem are welcome aswell.
The reason why I am interested in this problem is ... pure curiosity. I am curious to see how the Fourier methods meshed in, and what kind of bounds they gave, even though of course we cannot really expect anything too fantastic in this problem.

The 5 Most Misguided April Fools' Pranks of All Time
#2. April Fools Apocalypse Documentary Fools Everyone (by Airing in June)
On June 20, 1977, Anglia TV in England broadcast a documentary titled "Alternative 3" as part of a regular, not-fake series called "Science Report." The announcer explained the documentary had started as a piece about British scientists leaving the country to find better jobs, but that in the course of the investigation they had realized scientists weren't just disappearing from Britain, they were dying mysteriously -- especially physicists, engineers, and astronomers. Could this be some sort of conspiracy?
The documentary producers then said that they had not only uncovered evidence of an unknown space program, but that these scientists were leaving the earth. They claimed to have uncovered evidence of a conspiracy between world governments that was unfolding in a three-stage plan to deal with impending environmental disaster:
Creatas/Creatas/Getty Images
"You have to use it outside, dipshit. Chad, we're sending your son to ground zero."
Alternative one: Curb population.
Alternative two: House government officials underground until the impending disaster had passed.
Alternative three: Send humanity's brightest minds to a secret Noah's Ark colony on Mars.
The documentary filmmakers had discovered that "Alternative Three" was a reality! They even had an interview with an American astronaut who claimed he stumbled upon a secret lunar base! Holy fuck!
Via YouTube
Just as we suspected.
It's impossible to know how many people took the show as real versus how many were merely confused (again, this was not a fake news show and this was not April Fools' Day), but Anglia TV was flooded with calls from people who thought it was, and large parts of the Internet still do. You can still watch the documentary online and find literally dozens of websites claiming it's the truth. Here's a lady telling a radio show she was just invited to join the Mars colony in 2007:
And all of this is because their wacky April Fools' hoax got delayed by a strike that required them to air it more than two months after the holiday. Guys, in the future, just save that shit for next year.
#1. Israeli Intelligence Officer Commits Prank, Near-Act of War
Digital Vision./Photodisc/Getty Images
Everyone gets bored on the job sometimes, even military intelligence analysts for countries surrounded by other countries who have vowed to annihilate them. So in 1986, an Israeli intelligence officer decided to spice up his April 1st work shift by creating a report stating that the Lebanese Shia leader Nabih Berri had been seriously wounded in an assassination attempt. Ha! It's that old "assassination of a Muslim political leader" classic! And made even better by the fact that Israel and Lebanon were (and still technically are) at war.
Via Wikipedia
You might not recognize it because it's the part of the Risk board that nobody ever goes for.
The report was sent out to Israeli government officials, and, upon hearing the news, the Defense Minister burst into a parliamentary meeting to announce the attack (a situation which we can't imagine taking place without a huge set of double doors being flung open). And, even worse, the report was sent out to the state-run radio station, who reported it to the masses for most of the morning. This meant the report was also being broadcast to Muslim supporters of Berri in the area, who were already distrustful of Israel on account of the whole "war" thing. In other words, even after it was announced as a hoax later that day, some probably still saw it as the Israeli government making a veiled threat.
And what of the analyst who set this off? Well, after having to watch his boss (the aforementioned Defense Minister) squirm his way through an apology to the exact same parliamentary meeting he interrupted earlier, he was thrown in prison for 35 days.

The perception of totally tarred beaches is what made their tourism numbers drop in 2010.
However, with the help of b-p and loyal visitors, Panama City beach has rebounded.
For three months, every day, thousands of gallons of oil spewed from a hole in the bottom of the Gulf of Mexico.
The spill caused damage to marine and wildlife habitats, and put a halt on fishing and tourism industries.
"2010 was tough and the biggest issue we faced was uncertainty whether the oil was going to make it here or not, and the severity of the oil." CEO of the Panama City Beach visitors bureau Dan Rowe said.
After playing the waiting game, Rowe says Panama City got lucky.
"When it arrived fortunately we were blessed by tides wind mother nature and the grace of god that we never got the heavy oil that other beaches got. But that didn't diminish the fact that there was so much uncertainty." Rowe said.
Although Panama City beach wasn't hit too hard, Rowe says overcoming the national perception was an obstacle.
"Because 24 hours news coverage of the oil spill everybody thought that the gulf coast was blanketed with oil." Rowe said.
According to Rowe, these thoughts caused Panama City beach tourism numbers to fall in 2010.
In fact the beach town says a fifteen percent drop in July of that year.
This affected all businesses and restaurants in the area.
But Panama City beach did have one saving grace, spring break.
"Whenever you have a couple hundred thousand college kids hanging out on the beach, it really does send a very clear message that there was no oil. Because with the prevalence of facebook and twitter and social media, the college kids would have told the world if there was oil on our beaches and they didn't." Rowe said.
"Panama city beach re-bounded back really quickly. The good thing is we really had minimal impact on the beach." Tourism Board of Directors Member Andy Phillips said.
B-P also stepped up to help the beach recover.
"During the entire BP oil spill, BP has been there, there are local contractors they hired to help keep our beach clean. The way they have worked with the T-V-C in terms of initial claims for loss of tourist development." Rowe said.
The company also helped the city build back its reputation.
"During the oil spill and then last year we received grants that helped tell the story that Panama City Beach is a great beach destination and folks need to come so we were able to utilize those funds to help tell our story to a broader audience and that's part of the reason why we were very successful last year." Rowe said.
Fast forward a year, and the beach is making money again.
"We are still having good customers and hasn't affected our seafood as far as availability of fresh seafood." Hooked cook Justin Irwin said.
Irwin is a cook at hooked restaurant in Panama City beach.
He says their clientele has actually grown.
And that's true for other businesses surrounding the beach.
"We are finding new people every day, we are doing surveys inside the park so we are finding new people coming to Panama City Beach." Shipwreck water park general manager Buddy Wilkes said.
"Our visitors are the true rock stars who came here in the face of certain disaster." Rowe said.
Disaster that could have been a lot worse for Panama City beach.
Officials say this spring break had the beach packed.
And they are looking forward to bringing even more spring breakers to the area next year.
Tourism officials also say some of their most loyal visitors who came to the beach during the last two years, are from the wiregrass.

I'm trying to wrap my head around how geodesics describe trajectories at the moment.
I get that for events to be causally connected, they must be connected by a timelike curve, so free objects must move along a timelike geodesic. And a timelike geodesic can be defined as a geodesic that lies within the light cone.
I want to know why exactly null geodesics define the light cone. Or, why null geodesics define the path of light.
Also, if there's a better explanation why matter follows timelike geodesics, that would also be welcome.

Strong Second Half Lifts Trojans Past Lenoir-RhyneJanuary 18, 2014
ANDERSON, S.C. – Behind a strong second-half surge, the Anderson men's basketball team outpaced Lenoir-Rhyne, 79-61, in South Atlantic Conference action Saturday afternoon at the Abney Athletic Center.
Anderson (11-5, 6-4 SAC) won its second straight contest and has claimed victories in four of its last six decisions, while earning a split of the season series. Lenoir-Rhyne slipped to 7-7 overall and 6-4 in the conference and has lost five of its last seven.
The Trojans recorded their largest rebounding advantage of the season, winning the battle of the boards, 45-26, and pulled down 11 offensive boards. Anderson shot 48.9 percent from the field, while the Bears were 17-of-59 (28.8 percent. The Trojans turned the ball over 14 times, with L-R committing six miscues.
Senior guard Chandler Hash led the Trojans with 21 points on the strength of 12-of-14 shooting from the line, while junior guard Myson Jones equaled a career-high with four 3-pointers and finished with 18 points. Senior CJ Gleaton narrowly missed his fifth double-double of the season, garnering 17 points and pulling down a game-high nine rebounds. The 6-foot-3 guard was 6-of-8 from the free throw line. Sophomore guard Myles Daniel netted eight points and dished out a team-high three assists in 20 minutes of action.
Lenoir-Rhyne senior guard R.J. McClure, who was coming off a conference-record 52-point performance in Wednesday night's double-overtime loss at Newberry, notched a game-high 22 points. Teammate Will Perry was 10-of-10 from the line and finished the afternoon with 19 points.
The hot-shooting Trojans raced out to a 15-4 lead less than six minutes into the contest behind 6-of-10 shooting from the field. Jones dropped in the game's first basket and led the outburst with five points, with Gleaton adding a pair of jumpers.
With the Trojans still holding a double-digit 21-11 advantage at the 12:17 mark of the first half, Lenoir-Rhyne countered Anderson's early run with a 14-6 surge of its own over the next four-plus minutes, trimming AU's lead to just 27-25 with less than eight minutes on the clock.
Lenoir-Rhyne claimed its first lead of the game, 34-32, on junior guard Lawrence Miller's lone 3-pointer of the contest from the left wing and the Bears went to intermission clinging to a 37-35 edge.
The Trojans opened the second half with nine unanswered points, as Hash drained three free throws and Jones canned back-to-back 3-pointers to give Anderson a lead it would not relinquish, at 44-37.
L-R's McClure slowed the Trojans with a pair of free throws, but AU quickly reclaimed a nine-point lead on senior Kyle Sledge's close jumper with exactly 16 minutes left in the game. Freshman guard Jonathan Fowler's jumper later pulled the visitors within 50-47, but Lenoir-Rhyne would get no closer, as the Trojans countered with a 23-8 run to put the game out of reach with just more than four minutes remaining in the contest.
"This was one of our best games," said Anderson head coach Jason Taylor. "We played very well for 37 minutes. Rebounding was the deal tonight. We rebounded extremely well, shared the ball well and our defense played well in both halves."
The Trojans mark the halfway point of their South Atlantic Conference double round-robin schedule when they travel to Brevard on Wednesday for their second meeting this season. Anderson defeated the Tornados, 82-69, at the Abney Center in the league opener.

10 Questions Conveyancers MUST Have Honest Answers To
While you're working on your choices as to which conveyancing firm you should hire, there are several questions in your head that you want to be honestly answered. Some questions may answer your budget questions while majority of them will give you a good idea of how effective and diligent your chosen conveyancer will be.
Here are 10 of the most frequently asked questions that property sellers and buyers have when choosing a conveyancer.
1. How much do conveyancers charge?
Conveyancers often send quotes detailing the costs of their services. The quotes are divided into two groups of pricing details: the basic fee for their time and expertise and the disbursements.
On the average, a property transaction may cost from £200.00 to £1000.00 in basic conveyancing fees while the disbursements can reach up to more than £5000.00, depending on the number of searches to be conducted, the amount the property was bought for, and other tasks.
2. Are there undisclosed charges in your fees?
Conveyancing firms that advertise dirt-cheap services are very likely to surprise you with the hidden charges at the end of the process. However, the good ones out there are very transparent in detailing the prices for the tasks they're carrying out and will set your expectations properly if there are other expenses to be covered.
3. Will the process take long?
There is no definite number of days or weeks for the process to be finished but a simple transaction without any chain of transactions interlinked and complications can be completed in roughly 6-12 weeks. It can even be shorter if both parties had the paperwork sorted and prepared before the offer.
4. What do conveyancers work on?
There are a variety of tasks that a conveyancing solicitor does.
They take care of the draft of the contracts.
Obtain and verify Land Registration documents.
Arrange for property searches.
Arrange the payment of Stamp Duty
Arrange the registration of the new owner at the Land Registry.
5. What am I supposed to do?
The very first thing is to present a valid form of ID and instruct your conveyancer. Then once the process starts to move along, you'll be asked by your conveyancer to review documents, sign, and return them for further processing.
6. Can conveyancers guarantee their work?
Diligent conveyancers can guarantee exceptional results upon completion. When complex matters are involved in the process, they will discuss them with you and map out an action plan to sort things out.
7. Will a local solicitor be any better?
Local solicitors may be at an advantage when it comes to experience with the authorities and if you prefer constant personal meetings to get updated. Otherwise, everything can be equally carried out by a conveyancer located somewhere else in the country. As long as you have carefully checked their reputation, expertise, and experience.
8. Why are there cheaper services posted on the Internet?
Cheap conveyancing may only seem less expensive at first glance but at the end of the transaction, you are likely to be shocked at how much the costs have accumulated due to undisclosed extra services. Always take the time to compare pricing details to avoid being deceived.
9. What documents do I have to sign?
If you're selling, you need to sign the transfer of titles/registration and the sale contract. Plus, you also may have to complete forms that tell details about the property. When buying, you should sign the purchase contract and the mortgage deeds (usually in the presence of a solicitor).
10. How can conveyancers be reached for follow-up?
In this modern age, conveyancers are easily reachable. They've got mobile phones that you can call or send SMS to, emails, office numbers to call, and even online tracking/update facilities if you wish to know the progress of your case.

LYTHAM ST. ANNES, England (AP) — Ernie Els felt something special could happen at the British Open, and it did.
All because of a collapse by Adam Scott that no one imagined.
Four shots ahead with four holes to play — after eight straight holes with nothing worse than par — Scott bogeyed them all and had to fight back tears on the 18th green Sunday as the magnitude of his meltdown began to sink in.
Els, who started the final round six shots behind, finished off a flawless back nine with a 15-foot birdie putt for a 2-under 68 that looked as if it would do little more than lock up another runner-up finish at Royal Lytham & St. Annes. Instead, he wound up with his second British Open — the other one was 10 years ago at Muirfield — and fourth major championship at a stage in his career when it seemed as though his best golf was behind him.
The celebration was muted, unlike his other three majors.
"I'm a little numb at the moment," said Els, who was on the practice green behind the clubhouse when he won. "First of all, I feel for Adam Scott. He's a great friend of mine. Obviously, we both wanted to win very badly. But you know, that's the nature of the beast. That's why we're out here. You win, you lose.
"It was my time for some reason."

What flavor cake should I get for my wedding?
up for anything really
27 Answers answer
chocolate chip cookie dough.
If you're doing a tiered cake that's easy -- get your favorite flavor for the top. For the other layers, get a variety. I did carrot cake for my topper. Not because overall it is my favorite, but that baker made an awesome carrot cake. If your bakery has a specialty (many are going nuts now with all the flavors thanks to Food Network cake shows), try it. Ask them what sells best. I had three layers for the guests -- chocolate, vanilla, and carrot. The carrot and chocolate went over best.
If you're only choosing one flavor, I would say chocolate. Every time I have seen people have a choice, the chocolate generally goes better than vanilla.
If you're a traditional sort, stick with vanilla. People will still eat it.
My best advice -- make sure the cake tastes good. Looks are secondary. No one wants to eat sawdust with fondant on it.
Chocolate stout. My current favorite cake.
Apologies in advance. ;-) It would be rare, though. http://www.cake-decorating-corner.com/monkey-cake.html
Yellow cake, chocolate icing with dulce de leche and banana between the layers.
Next question.
Someone has to say it...
Devil's Food
mmm delicious cake (only chocolate cake type I enjoy)
@gmwhit: that is fabulous. i like it.
@raremonkey: what does the other participant in the wedding want? that would be my vote.
since you are having a small wedding (17 i believe you said) why not just go with your true favorite?
and congrats on the marriage. may it be long and filled with love.
@gmwhit: awesome cake
@moosezilla she said she just wants something simple so kind of more up to me I guess
I had an ice cream cake - with multiple flavors :) We had it made by Cold Stone (who refused to make a "wedding cake" BTW, but we promised we just wanted a plain cake and had someone else decorate it). They didn't make large cakes, so we just had a bunch of small round ones and put them together with some bridge pieces to make a nice display. We had the largest sheet cake they made in the back as extra cake which was just sliced up, not displayed. Every cake was a different flavor to give people options. The top one was cake batter with brownies since that is my favorite. And my lovely husband sent my brother out to get gummy bears to put on my piece, since that is really how I like my ice cream, but of course I didn't make the cake like that.
Hot sauce! Different layers of cake can have different layers of heat!
The bride and groom should be made of a ghost pepper and a Trinidad Moruga Scorpion pepper respectively.
cherry chip is yummy and fun!
also red velvet, french vanilla, spice cake
cheesecake usually goes over well too
if there will be more than one layer do more than one flavor!
Or cupcakes in different flavors are really popular.
whatever you do stay away from fondant...looks good tastes awful.
Every cake Ive eaten with fondant on it I've peeled the fondant off. It's yucky.
Angel food.
I second @hessem's comment about fondant, it's nasty.
I'd try to pick flavors people are going to like, you don't want to pay for a cake and then have no one eat it. We did a layer cake and had each layer a different flavor. Everyone's favorite was the white cake with a layer of raspberry jam in the middle, we also did a layer of yellow and a layer of devil's food. I can't remember what we did for the top layer. Buttercream icing was on the whole cake. I do know there was not one piece of cake left over and the only piece I got was the piece when we cut it. We also did dessert trays on each table of little finger desserts.
Good luck deciding!
Yummy is all you need to order!
Red velvet.
Raspberry!! or Strawberry!! or Black Cherry!! or ...........
Its your wedding...Go to the baker, sample everything, and pick YOUR favorites. Or get complicated and order different tiers from different bakers (all while sampling everything they have to offer) and build your own.
I agree with an earlier poster, taste is important. We went to taste cakes at multiple places before deciding. My wedding was MANY years ago so we went a simple white cake for the wedding cake and chocolate for the groom's cake.
My niece had a red velvet cake. It looked really nice.
Split the difference:
Liver with onion icing.
I attended a lovely intimate wedding reception last fall. The couple saved themselves a tidy sum at a reputable bakery by going with assorted softball sized cupcakes (each cupcake could serve two people) arranged on swirling tiers with fresh flowers in small vases interspersed among the cakes. You can imagine the reactions of the little flower girls and ring bearer upon seeing what appeared to be a mountain of cupcakey goodness.
Everyone had so much fun selecting our flavors. Those of us seated with me at the table shared cakes so we could sample all the versions. SO much delicious cake! It was fantastic!
There were boxes provided as well to bring home leftovers. The groom said they about fainted when pricing cakes and realized the cupcakes were a clever way to have many different flavors AND keep within their budget. The carrot, coconut, & red velvet cupcakes were divine.
@lavikinga: that sounds amazing, and delicious! what an interesting way to do the cupcake thing and it sounds like it looked beautiful.
A good rum-soaked fruitcake with royal icing and marzipan.
Takes a long time to make, but it's spectacular--really memorable--not like the cheap, sweet cakes that lots of bakeries crank out fast covered with fondant (which is nothing more than a shortcut for them).
One of the best parts about planning the wedding is getting to do CAKE TASTINGS!!!! WHY ARE YOU NOT DOING CAKE TASTINGS??!?!
Okay, so that said, we went with almond, but had it narrowed down to lemon pound cake, banana nut, and the almond.
Chocolate malt.

I've gone through four frames in the last decade or so, all from different manufacturers, all steel but both lugged and welded. Every one of them has eventually developed a crack, been repaired and then re-developed more cracks until I give up and get a new one.
It's usually on the seat tube down near the bottom bracket, but once on the down tube near the headset, and once on the chainstay after the seat tube had been repaired.
I generally just use the bike for commuting (~150k / week) and occasional weekend riding - all on the road. I've been on my mountain bike for the last couple of years, but I miss my skinny tyres and I'm thinking of getting a new road bike. So is there anyhing I can do to make it last longer than a couple of years or should I give up and just stick to mountain bikes?
Does this point to there being something wrong with the way I ride? Do you think doing track stands at lights would exacerbate the problem?

4.1.1: ownerCt or floatParent is no longer set for Button Menu
After we upgraded from 4.0.2a to 4.1.1, we noticed that "ownerCt" and "floatParent" are both undefined for a Menu under a Button. One of them used to be set to the owner button before the upgrade.
With some debugging, we found the "ownerButton" property of the menu is set to the owner Button, however, this ownerButton is not documented anywhere.
Is it a bug that ownerCt and floatParent not getting set for Button Menu? Otherwise, is there a supported way to access the owner Button from a Menu?

See here.
Now need to use getBubbleTarget, e.g:
/** * Retrieves the parent control for the specified menu. * In most cases this will be the button that was used to launch the menu. * @param {Object} menu The menu whose parent to determine. * @return {Object} The parent control for the menu, or undefined if not found. */ getTopMenusParent: function(menu) { var parent = undefined; if (menu) { // Go up until we do not have a parentMenu, in case we are on a menus sub-menu. while (menu.parentMenu) { menu = menu.parentMenu; } parent = menu.getBubbleTarget(); } return parent; }Product Architect

The recommended way is the up() method.
There is not an actual container->child ownership relationship there, so the up method hides these differences. There are quite a few places where there is a definite hierarchy, but it is not container->child. For example a column menu goes up() to the column header component.
I think maybe a note attached to the ownerCt property describing and linking to the up() method would be good.Search the forum: http://www.google.com/coop/cse?cx=01...%3Az7of1ufqccu

6 Insane Attempts to Make Movies Starring Dead Movie Stars
#3. Laurence Olivier in Sky Captain and the World of Tomorrow
Sky Captain and the World of Tomorrow began life as a teaser trailer produced by a guy in his living room, which impressed movie producers so much they gave him a giant stack of money to make a feature length film that ended up looking like a blurry $80 million Xbox game.
"Captain, open the bay doors and dump this money into the Atlantic. Make sure it's on fire first."
The movie's plot revolves almost entirely around the main characters discovering the identity of the mysterious Dr. Totenkopf, whose name is mentioned approximately every 30 seconds, usually in hushed dread-laced tones.
So after over 90 minutes of build-up we finally come face to face with Dr. Totenkopf, who ends up being Zordon from the Power Rangers as played by... a long-dead Laurence Olivier.
"Sadly, nobody in the theater knows who the hell I am."
The conversation they have with him is bizarre and stilted, which is to be expected when you try to write dialogue for an actor that matches old archival footage they had laying around.
They just manipulated old BBC footage of Olivier when he was young, then used a lot of glitches in the "hologram" to cover the rough spots. Why? Who knows?
We get that the film was supposed to mimic the look of old-time serials, but why they felt like this required them to resurrect a man 15 years in his grave (when the rest of the film starred recognizable, modern actors) is a mystery that will likely never be solved. Meanwhile, Hollywood promptly deposited the director back into his living room after the monumental failure of Sky Captain, and he hasn't made another movie since.
#2. The Three Stooges
In 1959, Shemp Howard, aka The Fourth Stooge after Larry, Moe and Curly, died after having a massive stroke. Hollywood, being exactly as respectful of the dead 50 years ago as they are now, saw fit to hold the remaining Stooges to their original contract. That required them to deliver four more shorts featuring Shemp--or Shemp's corpse--by the end of that year.
So Larry and Moe did the best they could, and inadvertently created some of the saddest pieces of slapstick comedy in human history.
Even worse than the stuff they shot with Curly's severed head.
Right away, you can see Moe and Larry spend a lot of time scratching their heads wondering where the hell Shemp is, usually after finding some lame note or something setting up his conspicuous absence. When Shemp finally makes it on screen, they've patched together the little bit of recent material they had with some older stuff from the archives. The difference between old and new footage is obvious and tragic--Shemp was in dramatically poor health towards the end of his life, so he bounces back and forth between "hatchet-faced" and "nightmare beast" on a scene to scene basis.
When they had to shoot new Shemp scenes, they used the infamous "Fake Shemp," a stand-in actor named Joe Palma. For the most part, Palma was only shown from the back (even though the back of his skull didn't look much like Shemp either), which came off as particularly awkward in an act built entirely around physical comedy.
Things get really jarring in scenes where Shemp is the focal point of attention, which the Stooges fumble through by clumsily hiding Palma's face while still trying to keep him in the center of the gags.
So essentially, the real life Stooges were even more inept than their celluloid counterparts. We would find that funny if we weren't so depressed by the whole thing.
#1. Peter Sellers in Trail of the Pink Panther
Trail of the Pink Panther makes the above-referenced Three Stooges shorts look freaking seamless in comparison.
This was the last movie in the long-running series to star Peter Sellers as Inspector Clouseau, and he had been dead for over two years when the movie came out. And, where at least in the Bruce Lee example they were pulling clips from a single movie he was in fact trying to make, Trail of the Pink Panther is a Frankensteinian creation built out of shit they found on the cutting room floor from across Sellers's career.
The result is characters miraculously changing age from scene to scene and frequently driving cars, using phones and sporting fashions sometimes two decades out of date.
This is totally 1982 and not 1962 in any way.
At one point, Clouseau has to fly to England for no good reason other than to make use of a deleted scene filmed in England from one of the previous films that the producers wanted to use. One problem: They had no pre-existing footage of Clouseau on a plane. That's fine, the producers just had to make some using bona fide movie magic!
Yes, they had Clouseau wrap himself up in bandages and a cast for the plane ride, a move the film makes almost no effort whatsoever to explain. The few glimpses you do get of the guy behind the bandages looks more like Saddam Hussein than Peter Sellers.
When the scene ends, Clouseau's cast and most of his bandages magically vanish as the director cuts back to old footage. After about 45 more minutes of this crap, the film's editor apparently shot himself in the face out of sheer embarrassment, and so Clouseau "dies" off screen in a plane crash and the rest of the movie becomes a straight-up clip show.
In the midst of replaying favorite moments from the past Pink Panther films, the second half of Trail of the Pink Panther somehow manages to forget that it's supposed to be a comedy and instead centers around a plucky lady reporter trying to locate the missing Clouseau. Predictably, her pluck proves to be no match for Sellers being stone fucking dead, and the movie just ends with Clouseau never found. No resolution at all.
By the way, an entire additional movie, Curse of the Pink Panther, continued the "Search for Clouseau" storyline, and when the inspector is finally found he's played by Roger Moore with a bucket on his head.
Not pictured: comedy, dignity.
Sellers's widow actually filed a lawsuit against the film's producers, claiming that the movie was a cheap insult to her husband's memory, and she wound up winning a $1.5 million settlement. So essentially, Trail of the Pink Panther was so shitty that those responsible had to be brought to justice.

Smooth is fast. That's true even when the conditions and terrain get a bit chaotic… You know, cyclocross… gravel roads… steep lonely lanes… urban assaults. The Zipp 303 Firecrest Disc-brake wheelset is durable, lightweight and stiff while also providing the consistent and powerful performance of disc braking.
At the centre of the 303 Firecrest Disc Carbon Clincher Disc-brake wheelset is a newly designed 11-speed compatible hub. Larger Swiss stainless steel bearings with a custom cartridge in the rear hub shell provide increased durability. The hub geometry and virtual 3-cross spoke-lacing pattern are optimized for reliability as well as exceptional stiffness, resulting in efficient power transfer and quick acceleration. The result is superior performance in conditions ideal for disc-brake riding.
When it's time to scrub off speed or stop, you won't have to tense up and 'grab a handful'. You have the consistency and power of disc brakes – precision modulation and stopping power is at your fingertips. You also get the unmatched stability and aerodynamic efficiency of the 45mm deep 303 Firecrest rim and Zipp's ground-breaking Carbon Clincher technology, with its exceptional reliability, handling and aerodynamic performance with the added convenience of a clincher.
The 303 Firecrest Carbon Clincher Disc-brake wheelset combines that innovative disc-brake-compatible technology with the credibility and heritage of one of Zipp's most acclaimed wheelsets, the 303. The 303 Firecrest and its pioneering predecessor, the 303, have been ridden to victory in multiple editions of the two toughest cobbled classics, Tour of Flanders and Paris Roubaix, as well as a multitude of cyclocross victories and even a mountainous Tour de France stage in wet, miserable conditions.
In developing the original 303 wheelset, Zipp discovered that a wider rim increases lateral stiffness for sprinting and cornering while also providing greater vertical compliance for greater control, comfort and durability. That wider rim profile led us to develop our Firecrest technology, which revolutionized aerodynamic efficiency and stability for carbon wheels.
The proprietary Firecrest rim shape optimizes the aerodynamic profile of the front half and – here's the revolutionary part – the back half of the wheel. Firecrest moves the wheel's centre of pressure to be more in line with the steering axis for stability in even the stiffest crosswinds. All of that innovation along with the precision control of disc braking gives you a wheel that's as smooth as it is tough.
