5 True War Stories That Put Every Action Movie to Shame
#2. The Filthy Thirteen
The Half Assed Hollywood Effort:
The Dirty Dozen, a film that would probably not have been possible had the Filthy Thirteen not come out first.
The Badass True Story:
The Filthy Thirteen were a sub-unit within the 506th Parachute Infantry Regiment, 101st Airborne Division, better known as the "Screaming Eagles" who descended on Hitler's Fortress Europe with the 82nd Airborne during the wee-hours of D-Day for some early-morning foreplay. The Filthies were among the hardest-hitting, harder-drinking roughnecks in the U.S. Army, and got their name for their tendency to bathe and shave only once a week during training and rarely washing their uniforms, if ever. Hello, scabies!
Real heroes are disgusting and riddled with easily preventable diseases.
Their specialty was blowing the shit out of bridges and whatever else they figured could go "boom" if they strapped it to enough TNT, which caused a nightmare for the Germans as they tried in vain to fend off the Allied invasion. The jobs were as risky as a shore leave prostitute in Thailand, but the Filthy Thirteen were able to blow the shit out of Nazi-occupied France all the way from Normandy to the Battle of the Bulge, all while smelling worse than, well, a goddamn shore leave prostitute in Thailand.
Their fearless leader, Jake McNiece was part Native-American, and his fellow Filthies chose to honor this by going into battle sporting mohawks like Travis Bickle, and freaking war-paint.
But before he even made it that far, McNiece had to enlist and, at the age of 23, was delivered this nugget of advice from the enlisting officer:
"You may just be 23. I don't know, but your face and your head looks like it's been used as practice for hand grenade tossing and wore out three bodies already."
If that's not some movie shit, we don't know what is. Wait, yes we do, this quote from fellow Filthy Thirteener Robert Cone regarding the D-Day mission:
"We landed near a hedgerow, from which the Germans were firing at us, and the guy I was with was killed. I got hit in the right shoulder, which broke my arm all the way down into the forearm. The bullet was lodged in there for a year. I was able to get away, though, but could not hold my rifle."
Unless crapping your pants and falling to the ground in a heap of blubbering womanliness somehow managed to become an escape tactic, there probably isn't a person reading this who would escape some something like that one-armed and unarmed.
And if none of that piques your interest, check this quote from Filthy Thirteen member Jack Womer regarding the time he met Winston Churchill, which we proudly present to you with absolutely no additional information to help you ascertain exactly how this came to pass:
"I thought to myself, 'Should I shoot this son of a gun? I don't care if he is Prime Minister, I don't want him urinating on me!'"
With someone who drank like Churchill, the possibilities are endless.
#1. The 22nd Artillery Supply Company and Private Wojtek
The Half-Assed Hollywood Effort:
The Inglourious Basterds, and only because they spent half the damn movie trying to convince us that Eli Roth was a "bear" without so much as a bear-suit, never mind one day of acting lessons.
The Badass True Story:
If you ever thought the Inglourious Basterds were hardcore because they had Sergeant Donny "The Bear Jew" Donowitz in their ranks, well... hold on to your ass and prepare to enter a whole new world of awesome. The real world.
Within the blitzkrieg-hardened ranks of the Polish Armed Forces in the West, was the 22nd Artillery Supply Company. The 22nd's most famous regular, one Private Wojtek, was universally known throughout the Polish Underground as "He Who Enjoys War," "Smiling Warrior" or simply "the Bear." During the epic Battle of Monte Cassino, Private Wojtek and the 22nd ran ammo for their Polish brothers-in-arms to help tip the scales in their favor. Once the bloody battle was over a Polish flag was raised high atop the bombed-out Monte Cassino, thanks in large part to the presence of the single most beloved soldier in the entire Polish Army on the battlefield:
That's right... the 22nd Artillery Supply Company didn't bullshit around like Tarantino. During WWII, these bastards had a real bear in their unit (not a Jewish one, though). Wojtek was a Syrian Brown Bear adopted by the 22nd while they were stationed in Persia. Wojtek proved to be the ultimate office pet for these war-weathered Poles, eating with them, drinking booze with them, sleeping in their barracks and trekking with them all the way from Persia to Palestine. Once the 22nd was ready to ship for Italy, Wojtek had two options: go home, or get a job. Sure enough, young Wojtek answered his call of duty, and officially enlisted in the Polish Army as a Private.
Incredibly, this is not his last living photo.
Wojtek worked hard for his pay (yes, pay) by helping transport heavy munitions to the front lines, which was made a bit easier for the 22nd on account of Wojtek being a freaking bear. Wojtek was a hard drinker, a diligent marcher (as demonstrated in this adorable war-footage), a charmer with the ladies and... well, did we mention that he weighed several hundred kilos, ran faster than a horse, smelled blood from a horizon away and could scalp a Nazi with one swipe on his bear-mitts on account of him being a goddamned bear?
Just look at their freaking emblem:
How the 22nd Artillery Supply Company wasn't immediately transferred to combat duty once Wojtek enlisted is beyond us. You don't need to be freaking Eisenhower to figure that if Wojtek was given some extra stripes, he could have trained an entire corps of Nazi-eating soldier-bears using bear-speak to plow a road from Italy to Berlin that would have ended WWII in the form of Wojtek personally eating Hitler.

Just brewed up a porter and going to be transfering into secondary tonight, I also want to put vanilla beans into the secondary. The question I have is how to make sure that the beans are sanitized correctly.
I make a Bourbon Vanilla Imperial porter recipe that's pretty popular. When the primary fermentation is done, I split 2 vanilla beans lengthwise and scrape put all the "gunk" inside. I chop the pods themselves into 2-3 in. long pieces then add the "gunk" and pods to a secondary fermenter and rack the beer onto it. Start tasting it after about 5 days. When it reaches a bit more than the level of vanilaa you want, rack it off the vanilla and package. You want to atart with a bit more vanilla flavor than you think you want bcause it starts to fade fairly quickly. Between the alcohol and low pH of the beer, you'll be fine with no further sanitation of the beans. I've doen it dozens of times and never had a problem.
no need to sanitize/clean the beans. just give it a good rinse if it's dirty. there is enough alcohol in the porter to prevent infection. I've done this numerous times with excellent results.
I use 1 whole vanilla bean, split length wise to get the goodness infused. works every time.
Boiling them in enough water to cover them for a few minutes should do the trick, however the results may not be as you intended.
I would suggest making a strong vanilla "tea". Chop up all of your vanilla beans, and boil in about 1 gal of water until it tastes like you want. Strain out the beans and drop this into your secondary once it has cooled sufficiently. If you just add them directly, the flavor of the vanilla bean may not be extracted properly. Also, carbohydrates -> CO2 + Ethyl Alcohol is not yeast's only metabolic pathway. Your yeast may consume other compounds in the vanilla bean, which may produce by products (flavors) that you do not expect.
If that sounds too involved, or you don't want to add that much water to you beer, you can remove the beans after an hour and boil the solution down further, or you can use vanilla extract.

Revision as of 00:03, 17 January 2014
This is a page for hosting consensus items currently under debate, with their formal wording.
The Consensus Items History is the public record of consensus items that have been decided on in the past. Please move the records from the "Current" page to the "History" page once they've been approved/blocked.
|Date First Discussed
|Proposed By
|Author of this Record
|E. Clair Bandersnatch is unwelcome at Noisebridge. She is prohibited from entering the space or participating in the community.
|Noisebridge should pay a service to recharge all the fire extinguishers in the space and/or purchase new fire extinguishers, and buy smoke/CO detectors for the space. We will need about a dozen working fire extinguishers for the space.
|The canonical location for Noisebridge policies and processes shall be a git repository. The canonical process to modify these policies and processes shall be the merging of a proposed changed version. The desicion to merge a patch shall be made by Noisebridge's consensus process. The most recent version of all such policies and procedures shall also be posted at an appropriate page on the Noisebridge wiki. It shall be the responsibility of the Secretary to operate and maintain this system.
|Adopt the draft anti-harassment policy in its current form in the git repo.
|Ban Dante for vandalism in the bathroom. http://imgur.com/a/Ye6mW
| 1. Consensus items at weekly meetings can be stopped from advancing by three member stand-asides or one block. Those objecting are encouraged to meet with proposal author(s) to develop mutually agreeable alternatives.
2. Membership meetings shall be scheduled and announced in advance. If a proposal cannot reach consensus or resolution at weekly meetings it may be added to a membership meeting agenda with sponsorship of three members. To take effect a proposal would require approval of 75% of members present physically or by proxy.
3. All current associate members shall be converted to full members, and the associate membership role abolished.
|Ban Dan from the space for a pattern of verbal abuse against Al.
|Madelynn Martiniere, Al Sweigart
| 1) This proposal would abandon consensus as the decision-making process used by Noisebridge. In its place Noisebridge will make decisions using a majority vote of the membership.
2) All current associate members will be converted to full members, and the associate membership role will be abolished.
|Al Sweigart
|Noisebridge should attach an expiration period of 90 days, beginning October 29, 2013, to the consensus decision to create an Associate Member role. All subsequent mutations of the original consensus should be brought for a second consensus, beginning February 4, 2014. If no consensus can be reached, Noisebridge will revert to being open to the public all day, every day.
|Tom Lowenthal
|Renaming the category "Noisebridge Members" to the "Noisebridge Council", and renaming the category "Associate Members" to "Noisebridge Members". This change extends not only to our operations, but also to our bylaws, so that the effect is only a change of name but does not change the rights or privileges of any person or category of people.
|Tom Lowenthal
|Proposals shall only be elegible to reach consensus in a weekly meeting in the exact form that they were agreed at a previous weekly meeting. Items shall not be elegible for consensus unless they were recorded on the Current Consensus Items page on the Noisebridge wiki before 24 hours have passed after the end of the weekly meeting in which they were proposed. If a proposal is modified at a weekly meeting, it shall not be elegible for consensus at that meeting.
|Al Sweigart
|In order to validly pass the consensus process, proposed consensus items must be recorded on the Current Consensus Items wiki page before 24 hours have passed after the end of the meeting in which they are introduced. The text so recorded should exactly match the text discussed during the meeting. Only this exact wording of the proposed consensus item is elegible for consensus at the next week's meeting. Any changes --- even small ones --- to the wording will be considered a different and new consensus proposal and will require another week before it can be consensed on. The spirit of this proposal is to prevent changes (small or radical) to consensus items being made and consensed on without notice to the larger community. (Amended Jan. 14, 2014)
|Al Sweigart
|Jake proposes a change to the previous consensus agreement regarding access to Noisebridge. (originally posted 2013/11/4 to discuss)
Noisebridge's space shall be open only to members and associate members at any time. A member or associate member may at any time invite a person into Noisebridge and host that person at Noisebridge as long as that member or associate member remains at Noisebridge. No other person shall be permitted at Noisebridge at any other time.
Noisebridge is open to Members, Associate Members, and guests sponsored by same, at all times. Any person who is not one of the above may be asked to leave if no Member or Associate Member present wishes to sponsor them at that time, with no other justification being necessary.
People coming to Noisebridge who don't know anyone should be introduced to members who are present so that sponsorship can occur if members present choose to do so at that time. Noisebridge should present itself as "open to public visitors and guests as often as possible".

The following exercise is from Golan's book on linear algebra.
Problem: Consider the algebra of polynomials over $GF(7)$, the field with 7 elements.
a) Find a nonzero polynomial such that the corresponding polynomial function is identically equal to zero.
b) Is the polynomial $6x^4+3x^3+6x^2+2x+5$ irreducible?
Work so far: The first part is easy. The polynomial $x^7-x$ works by Fermat's little theorem. The second part is trickier. If the polynomial is reducible, it facts into the product of a linear term and something else, or it factors as two quadratics. The first case is easy to exclude; simply plug all seven elements of $\mathbb{Z}_7$ into the polynomial and confirm none of them are a root. The second is harder. Of course, one could just set up the systems of equations resulting from
and go through all the possible values of $a,c,d,f$ and see if the resulting values of $b$ and $e$ are permissible, and while I know that would eventually give me the answer, I have no desire to do all of those computations. Is there a slicker way?

recently i had my blog up and running, but i installed some new software by accident and messed it up.i have reinstalled my word press, and i was wondering is there a way i can recover my old post? I really would like to be able to add them to my new installed word press blog. I tried to use MyAdminPHP but didn't have any idea how to look for the post and fine them.

This question came from our site for professional and enthusiast programmers.
Assuming you didn't change the table prefix from
If your database has been corrupted or changed and you dont have a backup, and you cant get a backup from your host then you're possibly out of luck, but if all else fails you can often recover your posts from archive.org, but if your blog is VERY recent then this mightn't work. Anywy to try just type your url in there and look for the most recent snapshot, if they have any. Then (if they have a snapshot) it's a slightly painstaking job to copy and retrieve the posts, yet possible, I once recovered an entire website which had been completely lost, including images etc.
If archive.org doesnt have anything then there are others i think, including google. Type

What i can do for this? I have so damn laggy and bad performance with Ubuntu 11.10 and Unity like with 11.04. ATI Drivers installed, and Sync to VBlank is disabled. I really want to use Unity, but its so laggy.
Try selecting Unity2d at the login screen. Visually, Unity and Unity2d are very similar, but Unity2d is not based on Compiz, so it may perform better.
I believe I have got some of the same problems with HD 4890 which runs poorly on Unity 3d as well with the latest propietary driver from ATI. When I had nVidia I only had to tweak compiz by editing the framerate settings in compiz settings manager found with synaptic, but this doesn't do anything for me with ATI, so I am also looking for a solution. "glxgears" caps by 60 fps, but still the animation looks incredibly laggy compared to earlier Ubuntu's which was about 14-15000 fps. So what's going on?
Okay I got a "fix" for my own case, which could help you as well. I installed compiz settings manager and messed around with openGL plugin (texture filtering etc.) and got great performance after a reboot. Now I have no issues what so ever and I am even running 3d-accelerated virtualbox and hardware-acc flashplayer atm. Good luck!
I have an HD 4250. The problem is fixed by installing the proprietary driver.

I have two lists one is "to do tasks" and other one "completed tasks" Can we create a workflow so that when the users change the status of the Task to "Completed" or "% Column" to 100% the task get automatically moved to the "completed tasks" List?
You can create a reusable workflow in SharePoint Designer and then associate it with your "To Do Tasks" list. This workflow can be set to trigger automatically whenever a list item is updated (i.e. marked as completed).
See this post for details on creating a workflow which copies items between lists: http://blogs.salmanghani.info/?p=479
Another much easier alternative would be to just use a single tasks list with a status column which either contains "incomplete" or "complete". This status can be updated with a single line of code in an event receiver. Obviously you would just need to then create 2x views on your list (one showing all incomplete tasks, and the other showing all competed tasks).

Football Manager 2011 (11.1)
Database edits/XML files:
I get quite annoyed with my career games throughout the years and this year is not different with the db, so I made the following changes
- China: created the Yi League (3rd tier) as realistically as possible. Changed the names too, from Chinese Super League to Pirelli CFA Super League, Chinese National First Division to Chinese Jia League, and the activated 3rd tier to the Yi League
- Germany: the file I had for FM10 didn't work so I created the Regionalliga myself, and since the Regionalliga teams weren't updated as well for the 2010-2011, I updated the teams as well. Also changed the games of the competitions
- Egypt: edited some teams correctly for the 2010-2011 season
- New Zealand: I have the exact same file as AcidBurn
- Indonesia: changed the competition names of all 3 tiers
- Japan: have the xml file, but no changes from FM10
- real agents file from the editor forum, among other things
The Setup:

WEIRTON - Weirton Medical Center's director of operations told the Rotary Club of Weirton Wednesday he thinks the hospital is on the road to fiscal recovery.
Operations Director David Artman told Rotarians the hospital is growing services and facilities.
"We definitely are turning it around," he said, adding, "We're going to expand services lines to better serve the community. It's based on the needs of the community."

ROTARY GUEST — Rotary Club of Weirton President Mike Gianni, right, listens as David Artman, director of operations at Weirton Medical Center, explains changes in the works at the hospital. Artman was the guest speaker at the club's luncheon meeting Wednesday at Williams Country Club. - Linda Harris
Artman said they've opened a satellite office at 560 Steubenville Pike, Burgettstown. A pediatric practice has already opened, and they'll be doing internal medicine and surgical consultations there as well.
"We started to look at expanding eastward," he said, "and there's a need in Burgettstown."
He said they've already finished renovating the new office space, and pointed out the move is feasible because WMC is now a participating provider with Highmark and Security Blue of Western Pennsylvania.
"Before, we weren't able to service those patients," he said, adding the contract with Highmark/Security Blue "opens it up."
"They're the dominant services" in Western Pennsylvania, he said.
Artman, meanwhile, also said WMC is looking to expand its vascular services, adding a cath lab and chest pain center and beefing up its digital mammography and breast surgery program.
"We have a new general surgeonand a new neurosurgeon who will do office (hours) and surgery at WMC," he said.
Additionally, they'll be offering outpatient gastro-intestinal procedures to area residents.
He said the changes are designed to strengthen the hospital as well as address needs in its service base.
"The goal of the hospital is to serve the community," Artman said. "I think we have a major opportunitythat will make (us) viable for a long time."
And Artman said a strong hospital "is a necessary part of the community."
"This is your hospital, it's a community hospital," he added. "You deserve for it to be viable."
But he said the new Affordable Health Care Act, popularly known as "Obama Care," is putting added pressure on the health care community to perform at high levels.
"It's a different model for health care reimbursements," he said.
Up to now, Medicare reimbursements were based on diagnosis; now, the nation is moving to "value-based purchasing," the goal of which is to penalize under-performing hospitals by rerouting a percentage of their Medicare payments to hospitals "with better metrics in terms of quality and service."
In 2013, he said hospital performance will be measured by clinical care measures (70 percent) and patient satisfaction (30 percent). In 2014 they'll be judged by outcomes. The clinical process will use results from July 2009 to March 2010 as a baseline against which performance for July 2011 to March 2012 will be measured.
In 2013, those clinical care measures will focus on four areas acute myocardial infarction, heart failure, pneumonia and surgical care improvement.
The following year, however, they'll also be judged by 30-day mortality, eight hospital-acquired infection and nine other indicators, like patient safety, in-patient quality indicators and composite measures.
"It's important that hospitals get it right," he said, noting that 1 percent of Medicare reimbursements will be at risk in 2013, and 2 percent in 2014. That means $100,000 will be on the line in 2013 for a facility with $10 million in Medicare in-patient payments, and twice that in 2014.
"Medicare will take money away (from under-performing hospitals) and redistribute it to hospitals performing at higher levels," he said.
"We've obviously budgeted for this, we've seen it coming and know what we'll probably earn back in dollars," he added.
The club meets at noon Wednesdays at Williams Country Club.

I am going out of town and of course want to take panoramas. I am also the designated family photographer. I would really like to be able to take them using the 24-70 instead of the 8mm for two reasons. 1) I won't be able to drag an extra lens and 2) I have not been really happy with how sharp my images are on the 8mm.
It seems like the 24-70 would be the best option, and I am very pleased with it in general (though I have not yet attempted panoramas with it). I *think* I can get everything I need/want with that lens if I tape it at 24 mm for the panoramas. Is my thinking flawed on this?

I use Google Chrome on my Mac as my browser, and I'd like to be able to have access to my bookmarks on my iPhone. Safari provides bookmark syncing automatically, and Mozilla has an app that provides that functionality, but I the only thing I can find is Xmarks which is a) paid, and b) synchronizes with a third-party service, instead of utilizing Google's existing bookmark sync for Chrome. Are there any other solutions?
Just download the free (!) Google Chrome app on your iPhone and then you can simply share and sync all your desktop bookmarks to your iPhone/iPad.
You could give Xmarks a try. Works fine for me.
You install it as a plugin for Chrome, and as a pref pane for your Mac. Your Mac will be synchronized to your iPhone.
I didn't try the mobile app yet.
Since I don't have the reputation to comment, I have to put this in an answer.
I can second the XMarks service as a great way to sync bookmarks between browsers, especially Internet Explorer (IE) and Safari, and especially if you want to sync your iPhone bookmarks with Firefox. There are problems with duplicates from time to time, but that is mitigated with a Duplicate Detector plugin for Firefox.
However, the XMarks service will be shutting down as of January 2011. There is information in this blog post as to how it might live on. http://blog.xmarks.com/?p=1945
Chrome bookmarks on iPhone are possible with help of ChromeSync app. Details are at www.chromesync.mobi
I've been looking for a similar solution, and would definitely recommend Xmarks! It will sync your bookmarks on any browser that you install the plugin.
You can synchronize everything with Synchromium. It does not require installation of any Chrome extension or transfering your data to third-party services.
I won't use XMarks because you have to subscribe ($12 a year - AU?), plus, last time I had Xmarks and Chrome sync, they never worked well together when I had multiple browsers (Firefox, Chrome) on multiple computers.
I won't trust ChromeSync either yet - look at the notes for it in iTunes (currently at 1.2). It uses a proxy and there are no ratings for it yet.
What I want is the equivalent of ChromeMarks (from Android) which was brilliant. It kept my Chrome bookmarks separate i.e. not in mobile Safari - because I want my 'mobile' bookmarks only in Safari.
It costs $12 a year to use xmarks. As a result it is not free to sync across platforms.
I love Dolphin for smartphone instead of chrome. with dolphin you can easily sync bookmarks between chrome and push link between them.... tryi t for a while you wont regret.

I do have prepared theme files (with __(), and _e(), etc), but they lack domain argument. There are lots of such string scattered around the theme files, editing by hand seems to be a dreadful perspective. Is there any tool to do this quickly?

I have a problem. I can't concentrate on one thing at a time. I can't read a whole article, I can't read a whole book, I can't watch tv without reading news from social networks for example.
Could you give me some advice on how to solve my problem?
Prioritize. And really enjoy doing that one thing. Or don't even start doing it if you can.
When you can't get concentration on one thing only, is it that one thing the one you really want to do? If it's not, start doing the main thing for you. If it is, avoid the rest from stopping you on it.
3 causes for not being able to focus on something:
Hope it helps you.
Prioritization and keeping distractions away are good but these are not the key abilities.
I think one may be perfectly sure that his no.1 priority at the moment is studying math. But it won't keep him away from facebook or 9gag.
The key ability is to evaluate how much struggle one will need to return to his task after distraction. E.g. while coding you start to have this itchy feeling of need to open browser and check mail. It's easy to interrupt and switch to effortless task of opening gmail. BUT think of how much effort you will need to switch back and finish that program. you will need to recall at which moment you stopped, what you were trying to solve, what this variable was used for etc.
And think of outcoume: what will you get in your life from checking email every 5 mins? and what will you get if you accomplish a complicated creative task?
There is some research that technology is causing some attention spans to decrease, although I don't think there is a consensus (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Attention_span). If it is the case, checking your phone, facebook, and using other quick interruptions will make it harder to concentrate on one thing. Even if it is not the case, and brains are not being rewired to have a shorter attention span, you still need to avoid the quick and easy interruptions.
Spend some time where you don't multi-task, don't have your phone close, turn off the music, and keep other easy sources of interruptions are away from you. Practice spending time on only one thing at a time. Try to spend some completely dedicated time on something every day.
Give yourself a time limit during which it is forbidden to do anything else. Within the time limit you are only allowed to do the specified thing, or to do nothing.
For example: "During the following five minutes, I will either read this article, or just close my eyes and relax. (Start the timer.)".
The timer is there to prevent you from watching the clock and asking yourself repeatedly whether it is over. The option to close your eyes and relax is there because, honestly, not having options feels bad. (Feeling bad is never the goal, and is usually harmful to your goals.) Just don't give yourself options which would distract you.
And don't blame yourself for using the "do nothing" option frequently! Even if you spend 20% of time reading the article, and 80% relaxing with eyes closed, that is still more effective than spending 100% of time doing something completely irrelevant. (It is even better than spending 20% of time reading the article and 80% of time reading something else, because the other material would distract you from the article, and you would end remembering less. Also, what you'd estimate as 20%, would probably be closer to 1% in reality.) When relaxing, you are only allowed to think about the article, or about something simple and pleasant (e.g. imagine yourself relaxing on the beach).
And I completely agree that open space is a concentration killer, and therefore a productivity killer, if your work requires concentration. (Unfortunately, decisions about this are usually done by managers, whose work is different, and they don't have much empathy for introverts. And sometimes they just are penny wise and pound foolish; they see the $$$ saved by using openspace instead of a decent workspace, and don't see $$$ lost by ruining the productivity of their employees.) I had a job once where phones were ringing all the time, and it was impossible to focus on anything. So I changed jobs, and my productivity increased dramatically. Sometimes it's not you, it's the environment.

I have two displays: 4 desktop spaces (the Wall) having 2 displays each. If I unplug the second monitor, then all windows move quite strange.
I place 8 windows: 1 and 2 on the first desktop space on the left and right screen, 3 and 4 on the second space on the two screens etc.
[1][2] | [3][4] | [5][6] | [7][8]
Note that I have each window MAXIMIZED, otherwise their movements are completely unpredictable (not even in the way I describe below).
I expect the behaviour as in 10.10: if I unplug the second monitor, then each desktop space 'shrinks' and I get windows 1 and 2 on the first desktop, 3 and 4 -- on the second one etc.
[12] | [34] | [56] | [78]
What happens: the first space now have windows 1 and 3, the second one has 2 and 4, etc
[13] | [24] | [57] | [68]
(there is another issue that if you press Alt+Tab after you unplug the monitor you cannot even see all the windows moved to the workspace until you walk around other spaces, but maybe that is another glitch not related)
Now, the more wierd stuff happens when I plug the second monitor back: I get ALL WINDOWS on the first space: some of them on the first display and others on the second display:
[13][245678] | [][] | [][] | [][] or another time: [13468][257] | [][] | [][] | [][]
This worked more intuitively in 10.10. Any way to get it back?
P.S. In CompizConfig>Desktop>Expo>Appearance I have Multi Output Mode = One wall per output. When I changed it to another value -- the same thing happens, but I am not sure Unity uses this parameter at all.

I am a novice cyclist, using my bike to travel to work with a round trip of about 15 miles in moderate to heavy traffic. I have been thinking about upgrading my bikes platform pedals to a set of pedals with toe clips. (Clipless pedals are probably out of the question because traffic is too heavy). My question is whether I can expect a performance boost (in terms of my average speed) by doing this, and if so how significant it is likely to be. (based on studies / past experience of other riders)

I found toe clips to be better than platform pedals, but not by a huge amount.
Seriously, get clipless pedals. It doesn't matter how much traffic there is as it's so easy to get your foot in or out of the pedals. The advantages are huge.
Once you get clipless pedals you'll never look back!
A foot retention system of some kind is preferable to platform pedals for anything other than a short ride.
The reason is that your pedal stroke, when done correctly and efficiently, will almost completely remove all load from each pedal on the upstroke. You will also pull back slightly at the bottom of the stroke. If you attempt a really efficient pedal stroke using a platform pedal, your foot will invariably go astray on the pedal and this impacts efficiency and causes you to constantly reposition the foot. I don't think it is possible to quantify this other than to say that it will make a difference on long rides or situations where you are trying to spin very fast.
Clipless is the best as others have mentioned, but you're asking about platform vs toe-clips....
A top-clip system with proper shoes can be operationally as good as clipless, just not as convenient. Most people have never seen shoes intended for toe-clips, but they did exist and they had a ridge in them that kept the foot from slipping straight out when the straps were tightened. The shoes were as rigid as today's clipless shoes.
If you just want basic foot retention on normal street shoes, toe-clips are OK, but there are some other options which may be better for commuters and urban riders:
Toe clips will definitely improve your cycling, if used correctly. (After all, pro cyclists used them for decades before clipless pedals were invented.) In terms of speed increase it's hard to say, though -- it's probably more in terms of acceleration.
They take a bit of learning to use correctly, but, even if you end up with (misnamed) "clipless" pedals, toe clips are a good "gateway drug".
The most important thing to learn is how to route the strap and how to tighten/loosen it. The strap needs to be routed so the end is pointing up in the air. You tighten by gripping the end of the strap and tugging. You loosen by placing a finger on the flange sticking out from the buckle and pressing down. Both these motions can be easily done while cycling, though you generally should not tighten so tight that (absent cleats on your shoes) you cannot slip your shoe out with a brief wiggle.
Similar experience to @ʍǝɥʇɐɯ, although I use Shimano A530 pedals, which use an SPD cleat. They have a platform on one side, and a clip on the other side, allowing you to ride with regular shoes if you are just going out the store or some other short ride. They also allow you to keep one foot out for situations where you are anticipating having to stop quickly or frequently. They are really easy to get in and out of, and I've only fallen over a couple times, but that was more due to me not unclipping when I should have. Clip out early and often, and you really shouldn't have any problems.
I second @Mac's answer, however, there is something you need to know about clipless pedals: they are not all the same.
I ride with Time ATAC pedals and I think they are fantastic. The ones I use are the basic ones that look like this:
They don't look like this:
The way I ride is to keep my traffic-side foot permanently locked in with my kerbside foot rarely locked in. I hook the front part of the cleat into the pedal properly and pedal just like that, not pushing down with the back of my foot to fully lock in. I don't lose time by pedalling 'half-clipped' I just have perfect foot alignment and lots of 'float' for my ankle to move about. My feet never slip off the front of the pedal and I can ride very safely.
The SPD pedal does not work so well 'half-clipped in' and the design is very different in terms of where the springs are and how the 'float' works ('float' is how much freedom you have to change the angle of your feet).
With the Time pedals I am also able to ride with both feet 'half clipped in' and with shoes that do not have the cleat (although flat, leather soled shoes are almost lethal on Time ATAC pedals in the wet).
The 'float' on Time ATAC pedals is a bit weird at first - it feels like you are dancing on small ice cubes - but, once you have given it a go, the older pedals that lock your feet in one position feel badly wrong. That includes regular platform pedals that have spikes that go into the rubber of the shoe.
As for toe-clips and straps, the main things I remember from them are: how the toeclips would scrape on the ground when I was not in them, how I lost all momentum when I needed it most trying to get my feet into them, how those 'Medium' size clips almost killed me because I needed the 'Large' size to get the ball of my foot over the pedal spindle and how the pedals that went with them ate my trainers. They were also harder to get out of when you needed to, plus reaching down to adjust the straps wasn't an art I perfected. On your commute I guess you will spend a lot of time being pre-occupied by them - don't get them!
Much is said how that you can pedal through the whole 360 degrees on clipless pedals, to pull up as well as push down. For the majority of your commute you will not be doing that. In real life there are only fleeting moments when cyclists pull up, even on the Tour de France it is 'push-push'. The real benefits for performance come from a more secure footing, better footwear and no time spent constantly repositioning your feet.
To go with your hopefully fantastic Time ATAC pedals, consider getting some basic Shimano shoes. These come with a stiff yet slightly flexible sole. From these shoes you will get an extra ten percent or so of power and that will make you quicker. Plus you will not be wearing out your other shoes that have not been specifically designed for cycling. Therefore an investment in cycling shoes will pay off because your footwear bills will be a lot lower in the future. Specialized also make nice affordable shoes with sensible 'lace-locks' to keep the laces out of the chainset. Both the Shimano and Specialized shoes come in sizes where the foot is measured rather than the 'last' used to make the sole. Consequently a 44 in Shimano is larger than a 44 by an Italian shoe company. If you do have a quality bike shop in your area with shoes then do pay them a visit and try before you buy. They may not stock the Time ATAC pedals - go online to get them and don't go for the much more widely available Shimano pedals in the hope that they are just as good - they are not.
Being an avid mountain biker (3+ times a week, and been riding since I was 10) I can say that clips are a definite advantage even in traffic, clipping in and out can be just as fast as a standard flat pedal provided you know how, just simply raise your heel and twist it outward, and you are out!
There are a few times where clips are bad, such as downhill mountain biking, however I still wear my clips doing this when trying to keep up with my downhill mountain biking buddies and I have no problems whatsoever.
You will see a significant increase in performance as well (assuming you have the other components such as seat height and riding form figured out [many people have terrible form and seat heights]) because it allows you to isolate your legs from your upper body and push and pull with a lot more force on each pedal stroke, also since you are using both legs simultaneously you get the advantage of using less energy to create the same output force, so you can ride either faster or longer.
I am an spd user myself. As I don't hang out with many mountain bikers a lot of my friends tend to look at them and take an instant dislike to them but I have found them to be fantastic. I was never keen on the toeclip type of pedals because I always found it incredibly difficult to get my toes into the right side of them and they would often end up scraping on the floor.
Double sided spds are fantastic though. The speed increase is amazing, it is like suddenly getting super powers when you can also pull up as well as push down. The real beauty of them is that with a twist of the hex key you can adjust their tightness so that they are at the perfect strength to be able to slip in and out of really easily. The only instances in which you might not have enough time to put your foot down is when you are taking a fast corner and for whatever reason your tire slips out from under you. It very rarely happens. I do not trust the type that you have to slip your toe into though, an old girlfriend of mine broke her leg due to those.
I 've used toe clips but switched to clipless pedals for almost three decades. I also tried flatless pedals on one of my bikes. Eventually I returned to toe clips and double straps. First reason for going back is reliability: cleats tend to quickly wear out if used a lot. As a result I inadvertedly detached from the clipless pedals several times over the years. I also learned that most clipless pedals, except the most expensive are not well made. In particular, the quality of the ball bearings is much better with conventional pedals. Second, clips/straps are more convenient: if not tightened up you can use them with almost any sort of shoes. If used in a proper way clips /straps are perfectly safe. However, you do have to learn how to use them. Thus they should probably not be used by the average inexperienced cyclist.
I would say don't use cleats or SPD's whatever their called in traffic until you are totally used and confident with them. I still use toe clip saddles as I cannot afford a fall having had a slipped disc. And aged 63.

Someone I know recently made a comment about how he feels a sort of pain durring prayer (and that this type of pain only happens during prayer). He says that it used to only be present during confession, but now it is something which has become more permanent.
I'm trying to help him figure out if it is psychosomatic or human (we believe that demonic can be safely ruled out), but I don't know enough about mystic theology to be able to really comment on it. It does seem up that alley though. Is this something which has been documented elsewhere?
