YARNELL, Ariz. — Juliann Ashcraft had just put the kids down for a nap when her cellphone buzzed. It was a text from Andrew, her husband of seven years and, still, her best friend.
"This is my lunch spot," he wrote beneath a photo of hard-hatted firefighters sitting on boulders, watching smoke rise on the horizon. "too bad lunch was an MRE," the text concluded.
It was 2:16 p.m. on June 30.
That Sunday morning, Ashcraft and the other 19 members of the Granite Mountain Interagency Hotshot Crew had been deployed to the ranching community of Yarnell to fight yet another wildfire. The crew had barely gotten home from a different blaze when word came that the team was needed again.
"I think I will be down there for a while on this one," 29-year-old Ashcraft had told his wife via text.
The father of four always seized every opportunity to call or text Juliann while out on a job — even if it meant hiking to the top of a mountain to get a signal. Still, during the summer wildfire season, it was not unusual for the couple to go weeks on end without any communication. This day, so far, had been different.
That afternoon Juliann texted to report that it was raining at their house in nearby Prescott. She told her husband how much she wished he could be there, watching the drops fall with her and the kids.
"We could really use some rain over here," he replied.
With that, their exchanges stopped. Thanks to the photo, Juliann could at least picture where Andrew was. But while it offered some comfort, the image was also foreboding.
Off in the distance, from behind a ridge line, billowed a sickly, blackish-brown plume — spreading like a bruise across the graying sky.
The blaze had ignited two days earlier with a lightning strike along the Date Creek Mountains above Yarnell. Once known as "Rich Hill" for the acres of gold nuggets discovered by prospectors in the 1860s, the town lies 80 miles northwest of Phoenix at 4,800 feet above sea level, leading to the motto, "Where a Desert Breeze Meets the Mountain Air."
The slopes that surround the community are laden with manzanita, evergreen, mountain mahogany and oak. Though next-door to national forestland that regularly sees fire activity, this particular area had not burned in some 40 years and was deep into a drought — making it far more susceptible to fire.
Still, at first, officials determined this blaze to be small, posing no immediate threat to Yarnell's 700 residents.
Around 10 a.m. Saturday, the Arizona State Forestry Division called in a pair of air tankers, a helicopter, some fire engines and a couple of hand crews. By nightfall, the fire was just 15 acres in size, though the town fire department warned residents: "Be on high alert if the wind changes direction."
Overnight the blaze grew to 200 acres, and by Sunday morning officials were transitioning to a larger command team to oversee firefighting efforts and calling in more personnel.
Around 6 a.m., Darrell Willis, chief of the Prescott Fire Department's Wildland Fire Division, was loading his truck with containers of eggs, sausage, potatoes and fruit for the crews when his phone rang. It was Eric Marsh, superintendent of the Granite Mountain Hotshots, who were based out of Willis' department.
"Hey, chief," Marsh said. "We're coming down to the fire."
At 43, the North Carolina native was the oldest member of the Hotshot team and its founder. Within six years of its beginning as a fuels mitigation unit in 2002, the Granite Mountain group had joined the elite Hotshot community — the first such crew attached to a municipal department.

I'm currently playing Tomb Raider - Guardian of Light. In the game we receive health-upgrades and ammo-upgrades as rewards. Now there are two ways this can happen:
1. Lara reaches a difficult-to-reach place and finally gets the pick-up reward. Here the result is instantaneous. We can immediately see the health bar increase.
2. Lara completes a level bonus objective (like enter spider tomb in 5 minutes or collect 10 skulls in the level) and the health-upgrade seems to be added to the inventory.
The question is, for step 2, how do we use that health-upgrade?
The upgrade remains in inventory and nothing happens when we click it. I thought the upgrade was automatically applied after the level. But in the next level I see my health-bar exactly the same as previous level end.
Any ideas?

Moderator Note: This was taken from a contest which ended on 22 Oct 2012.
Suppose we take 3 blocks shaped like equilateral triangles that measure 18 units on a side,and place them centrally upon axles that are themselves the vertices of an equilateral triangle measuring 30 units on a side. Suppose we wrap a durable rubber-band about the three blocks(as depicted by the bold black triangle) and paint a dot on the portion of the band that intersects the top vetex of the "top block". Then the three blocks are rotated at equal speeds- the rubber band rotates with them without slipping or expanding. The question: how far has the dot painted on the band travelled by the time it returns to its original position at the top vertex?

Soil and water taking orders for stocking
WINTERSVILLE - Stephanie Vance, Jefferson Soil and Water Conservation District public relations chairman, said the district is taking orders for its annual pond stocking fish sale. The fish will be purchased through Fender's Fish Hatchery in Baltic.
The species of fish available are largemouth bass, channel catfish, white amur, black crappie, shell cracker, yellow perch, blue gill and fathead minnows.
Orders will be taken until March 29. Pick up will be from 1 p.m. to 1:45 p.m. only on April 4 at the new location at Bantam Ridge School, Suite A. For the pickup, a large container filled with pond water -5 to 10 gallons of water per 100 fish - is required. Containers should be lined with a new plastic bag before adding water.
The white amurs should be placed in a container with a lid large enough to tie at the top, officials said.
For information, call the office at (740) 264-9790 or go to the district website at www.jeffersonswcd.org.

I've read an article about a comparison between human brain and artificial neural networks. It's said that human brain contains $\approx 10^{11}$ neurons and each neuron is connected to $\approx 10^4$ others! Is it possible? What kind of graph would it be?
The network you are describing is called the connectome. The study of real-world networks, such as brain networks, is a enormous task, largely due to the sheer size of the network. However, there are other complicating factors:
However, there are some things that can be said about the connectome. For example:

A 30-member committee formed to explore the possibility of a city-county government merger for Franklin and Simpson County will decide in the next two weeks whether voters will have a chance to have their say.
The committee has concluded months of information gathering and will submit a final report within the next two to three months. Now, the members will vote by mail-in ballot on a recommendation to move the merger idea to the charter committee stage.
A charter committee would be charged with drawing up a detailed outline and draft of the proposed merged government, including job descriptions for elected officials, and the outline of basic government services. The charter committee would be made up of 11 members appointed by the county, and nine by city government.
Once the charter committee submitted its draft, the public would get a chance to vote on the idea in the 2006 general election, and if the merger passed, it wouldn't go into effect until the terms of then-elected officials expired (no earlier than 2010).
County Judge Executive Jim Henderson says he believes most citizens are intrigued by the prospect of having only one governing body, as long as there taxes don't climb any higher and services remain the same or improve.

I am unable to get what are the scenarios where we need an immutable class.
Have you ever faced any such requirement? or can you please give us any real example where we should use this pattern.
We started with Q&A. Technical documentation is next, and we need your help.
Whether you're a beginner or an experienced developer, you can contribute.
I am unable to get what are the scenarios where we need an immutable class.
The other answers seem to focused on explaining why immutability is good. It is very good and I use it whenever possible. However, that is not your question. I'll take your question point by point to try to make sure you're getting the answers and examples you need.
"Need" is a relative term here. Immutable classes are a design pattern that, like any paradigm/pattern/tool, is there to make constructing software easier. Similarly, plenty of code was written before the OO paradigm came along, but count me among the programmers that "need" OO. Immutable classes, like OO, aren't strictly needed, but I going to act like I need them.
If you aren't looking at the objects in the problem domain with the right perspective, you may not see a requirement for an immutable object. It might be easy to think that a problem domain doesn't require any immutable classes if you're not familiar when to use them advantageously.
I often use immutable classes where I think of a given object in my problem domain as a value or fixed instance. This notion is sometimes dependent on perspective or viewpoint, but ideally, it will be easy to switch into the right perspective to identify good candidate objects.
You can get a better sense of where immutable objects are really useful (if not strictly necessary) by making sure you read up on various books/online articles to develop a good sense for how to think about immutable classes. One good article to get you started is Java theory and practice: To mutate or not to mutate?
I'll try to give a couple of examples below of how one can see objects in different perspectives (mutable vs immutable) to clarify what I mean by perspective.
Since you asked for real examples I'll give you some, but first lets start with some classic examples.
Classic Value Objects
Strings and integers and are often thought of as values. Therefore its not surprising to find that String class and the Integer wrapper class (as well as the other wrapper classes) are immutable in Java. A color is usually thought of as a value, thus the immutable Color class.
In contrast, a car is not usually thought of as a value object. Modeling a car usually means a creating a class that has changing state (odometer, speed, fuel level, etc). However, there are some domains where it car may be a value object. For example, a car (or specifically a car model) might be thought of as a value object in an app to look up the proper motor oil for a given vehicle.
Playing Cards
Ever write a playing card program? I did. I could have represented a playing card as a mutable object with a mutable suit and rank. A draw-poker hand could be 5 fixed instances where replacing the 5th card in my hand would mean mutating the 5th playing card instance into a new card by changing its suit and rank ivars.
However, I tend to think of a playing card as an immutable object that has a fixed unchanging suit and rank once created. My draw poker hand would be 5 instances and replacing a card in my hand would involve discarding one of those instance and adding a new random instance to my hand.
Map Projection
One last example is when I worked on some map code where the map could display itself in various projections. The original code had the map use a fixed, but mutatable projection instance (like the mutable playing card above). Changing the map projection meant mutating the map's projection instance's ivars (projection type, center point, zoom, etc).
However, I felt the design was simpler if I thought of a projection as an immutable value or fixed instance. Changing the map projection meant having the map reference a different projection instance rather than mutating the map's fixed projection instance. This also made it simpler to capture named projections such as
Immutable classes are in general much simpler to design, implement and use correctly. An example is String: the implementation of
One particular area where immutability makes an especially big difference is concurrency: immutable objects can safely be shared among multiple threads, whereas mutable objects must be made thread-safe via careful design and implementation - usually this is far from a trivial task.
Update: Effective Java 2nd Edition tackles this issue in detail - see Item 15: Minimize mutability.
See also these related posts:
Effective Java by Joshua Bloch outlines several reasons to write immutable classes:
In general it is good practise to make an object immutable unless there are severe performance problems as a result. In such circumstances, mutable builder objects can be used to build immutable objects e.g. StringBuilder
Hashmaps are a classic example. It's imperative that the key to a map be immutable. If the key is not immutable, and you change a value on the key such that hashCode() would result in a new value, the map is now broken (a key is now in the wrong location in the hash table.).
We don't need immutable classes, per se, but they can certainly make some programming tasks easier, especially when multiple threads are involved. You don't have to perform any locking to access an immutable object, and any facts that you've already established about such an object will continue to be true in the future.
Java is practically one and all references. Sometimes an instance is referenced multiple times. If you change such an instance, it would be reflected into all its references. Sometimes you simply don't want to have this to improve robustness and threadsafety. Then an immutable class is useful so that one is forced to create a new instance and reassign it to the current reference. This way the original instance of the other references remain untouched.
Imagine how Java would look like if
There are various reason for immutability:
So, if you want to send data through a network service, and you want a sense of guarantee that you will have your result exactly the same as what you sent, set it as immutable.
Let's take an extreme case: integer constants. If I write a statement like "x=x+1" I want to be 100% confidant that the number "1" will not somehow become 2, no matter what happens anywhere else in the program.
Now okay, integer constants are not a class, but the concept is the same. Suppose I write:
Looks simple enough. But if Strings were not immutable, then I would have to consider the possibility that getCustomerName could change customerId, so that when I call getCustomerBalance, I am getting the balance for a different customer. Now you might say, "Why in the world would someone writing a getCustomerName function make it change the id? That would make no sense." But that's exactly where you could get in trouble. The person writing the above code might take it as just obvious that the functions would not change the parameter. Then someone comes along who has to modify another use of that function to handle the case where where a customer has multiple accounts under the same name. And he says, "Oh, here's this handy getCustomer name function that's already looking up the name. I'll just make that automatically change the id to the next account with the same name, and put it in a loop ..." And then your program starts mysteriously not working. Would that be bad coding style? Probably. But it's precisely a problem in cases where the side effect is NOT obvious.
Immutability simply means that a certain class of objects are constants, and we can treat them as constants.
(Of course the user could assign a different "constant object" to a variable. Someone can write String s="hello"; and then later write s="goodbye"; Unless I make the variable final, I can't be sure that it's not being changed within my own block of code. Just like integer constants assure me that "1" is always the same number, but not that "x=1" will never be changed by writing "x=2". But I can be confidant that if I have a handle to an immutable object, that no function I pass it to can change it on me, or that if I make two copies of it, that a change to the variable holding one copy will not change the other. Etc.
I'm going to attack this from a different perspective. I find immutable objects make life easier for me when reading code.
If I have a mutable object I am never sure what its value is if it's ever used outside of my immediate scope. Let's say I create
The first makes reasoning about my code difficult. The second makes my code suck in performance -- I'm basically mimicking an immutable object with copy-on-write semantics anyway, but doing it all the time whether or not the called methods actually modify my object's state.
If I instead use
(If I go outside of the Java world and into, say, the C++ world, among others, I can get even trickier. I can make the objects appear as if they're mutable, but behind the scenes make them transparently clone on any kind of state change—that's copy-on-write—with nobody being the wiser.)
Using the final keyword doesn't necessarily make something immutable:
Just an example to demonstrate that the "final" keyword is there to prevent programmer error, and not much more. Whereas reassigning a value lacking a final keyword can easily happen by accident, going to this length to change a value would have to be done intentionally. It's there for documentation and to prevent programmer error.
Immutable data structures can also help when coding recursive algorithms. For example, say that you're trying to solve a 3SAT problem. One way is to do the following:
If you have a mutable structure to represent the problem, then when you simplify the instance in the TRUE branch, you'll either have to:
However if you code it in a clever way, you can have an immutable structure, where any operation returns an updated (but still immutable) version of the problem (similar to
One of the reasons for the "need" for immutable classes is the combination of passing everything by reference and having no support for read-only views of an object (i.e. C++'s
Consider the simple case of a class having support for the observer pattern:
In C++,
They also give us a guarantee. The guarantee of immutability means that we can expand on them and create new patters for efficiency that are otherwise not possible.
One feature of immutable classes which hasn't yet been called out: storing a reference to a deeply-immutable class object is an efficient means of storing all of the state contained therein. Suppose I have a mutable object which uses a deeply-immutable object to hold 50K worth of state information. Suppose, further, that I wish to on 25 occasions make a "copy" of my original (mutable) object (e.g. for an "undo" buffer); the state could change between copy operations, but usually doesn't. Making a "copy" of the mutable object would simply require copying a reference to its immutable state, so 20 copies would simply amount to 20 references. By contrast, if the state were held in 50K worth of mutable objects, each of the 25 copy operations would have to produce its own copy of 50K worth of data; holding all 25 copies would require holding over a meg worth of mostly-duplicated data. Even though the first copy operation would produce a copy of the data that will never change, and the other 24 operations could in theory simply refer back to that, in most implementations there would be no way for the second object asking for a copy of the information to know that an immutable copy already exists(*).
(*) One pattern that can sometimes be useful is for mutable objects to have two fields to hold their state--one in mutable form and one in immutable form. Objects can be copied as mutable or immutable, and would begin life with one or the other reference set. As soon as the object wants to change its state, it copies the immutable reference to the mutable one (if it hasn't been done already) and invalidates the immutable one. When the object is copied as immutable, if its immutable reference isn't set, an immutable copy will be created and the immutable reference pointed to that. This approach will require a few more copy operations than would a "full-fledged copy on write" (e.g. asking to copy an object which has been mutated since the last copy would require a copy operation, even if the original object is never again mutated) but it avoids the threading complexities that FFCOW would entail.
from Effective Java; An immutable class is simply a class whose instances cannot be modified. All of the information contained in each instance is provided when it is created and is fixed for the lifetime of the object. The Java platform libraries contain many immutable classes, including String, the boxed primitive classes, and BigInte- ger and BigDecimal. There are many good reasons for this: Immutable classes are easier to design, implement and use than mutable classes. They are less prone to error and are more secure.

Upcycled Mirror Front Dresser Tutorial
Did you guys forget why you read Vintage Revivals? You know that part about Epic Projects?
Well guess what? I have an EPIC Project!!
It all started with this lovely dresser that I found on Craigslist. My awesome MIL bought it for me for my birthday.
I pretty much never sand furniture. Probably cause I am lazy but I haven't had a problem yet so here is how I paint.
1. Clean off your piece. Chances are its nasty and really dusty. This will make your spray paint crack and bubble. So wipe wipe wipe.
2. Prime it with Kilz. If you don't shake the can for a good 2-3 minutes you will get a sandpapery finish….which sucks and then you have to sand. So just make sure you shake it really well mmmmkay?
3. You want to apply your paint in light coats. This is the side of the dresser after 1 coat. The reason for this is that you will get more even coverage and no drips! The color I used is Krylon's Coral Isle. If you are having a hard time finding it you can click here for my secret insider info.
After 2 coats.
4. Then I really lightly glazed it. You can see my glazing technique here.
5. Glam it up!!
Originally I was just going to put mirror in the 5 flat drawers.
After seeing it though, I decided it needed mirror on all of the fronts. So I pried off the decorative pieces……with a butter knife. Cause that's how I roll.
When I had the mirror cut for the first 5 pieces I had Jones Paint and Glass drill a small hole in the center of the glass for a knob. I was expecting my total bill to be like $12.00. And it was…for the mirror. They charged me $25.00 to drill 5 small holes. I was not happy about that.
So when 2 of the 5 pieces broke I knew I was not going to pay them to do that again. I reordered the`broken ones from The Glass Doctor and added the other ones that I needed. Then I drove my awesomeness over to Home Depot and bought a 1/4" diamond tipped ceramic drill bit. It was $12.00. When I got the mirror back from the shop I drilled the holes myself. You can see the technique I use to drill glass and ceramic here.
And guess what? It worked perfectly, I saved money and now I have a new drill bit! Holla! (If you aren't comfortable drilling on glass then just have the shop do it for you.)
P.s. I get questions every time I post a mirror or glass project about where I buy it. The company that I have found to be the fastest and best priced is The Glass Doctor. (In St. George they are right down the street from Costco) They are always so nice and helpful. And from this point forward they are who I will be using exclusively. I am pretty sure that they are in most cities!
I needed something really simple for the knobs because it already had a crapload going on. I found these ones at Home Depot for $1.39 each.
P.s.s. I am sort of OBBSESSED with brass right now. I know its not for everyone and that's okey dokey with me! Pretty much I love it though.
I marked where the hole in the glass was drilled and made a hole in the drawer front.
Then I used mirror mastic to attach the mirror to the drawer.
***MAKE SURE THAT YOU DO NOT SCREW THE KNOB ON TOO TIGHT! IT WILL BREAK YOUR MIRROR! Trust me I think that was the reason for the project fail…****
Lastly, I glued the center decoration from the cupboard on top of the glass and TA DA! Done and done.
Here are a few more pics..
P.S.S.S. Today is the last day to VOTE!!

Lets say you have a free particle in a rotating frame of reference with constant angular velocity $\mathbf{\omega}$. By free, I mean there are no real forces on it. Lets call the moving system "primed".
The equation of the motion is $m\mathbf{a} = \mathbf{F} + \mathbf{F_{fic}}$ but $F = 0$ and the only fictitious forces acting on this particle are the centrifugal force and the coriolis force.
Just to double checked, 1) there is no azimuthal (or transverse) force since there is no angular acceleration. Correct?
2) And ofcourse there is no translation force since the origin of the primed and nonprimed systems are the same? Right?
Okay so lets assume I am right (which I am since I am following an example from a text :P) So we have $$m\mathbf{a} = −m \mathbf{\omega} × (\mathbf{\omega} × \mathbf{r'}) − 2m \mathbf{\omega} × \mathbf{v}'$$
Lets making the rotating axis fixed with the z axis so $\mathbf{w} = \omega \cdot \mathbf{e_z}$
$$\omega = \omega \mathbf{e_z} $$ $$\mathbf{r} = x \mathbf{e_x} + y \mathbf{e_y} + z \mathbf{e_z} $$ and similarly v is pretty much r, but x = x dot, and such. Don't know how to write x dot with latex.
So my main problem is that for example lets say we are calculating the x component of everything. So then in the equation the coriolis force has a cross product between $e_z$ and $e_x$. This is $e_y$. I get that, but how do I know what sign is it? How come $e_z$ and $e_y$ gives me A NEGATIVE $e_x$?
I am on page 11 of this pdf, http://www.mech.kth.se/~hanno/RelativeMotion.pdf.
I am also confused about how $e_x$ crossed with $e_z$ gives you "y dot" and not "x dot" Look at the pdf (specifically the coriolis force term).

I want to post some text to a users wall using the facebook sdk in an iOS app.
Is posting an open graph story now the only way to do that?
I've found with open graph stories they are really strange, you can only post things in the format "user x a y" where you preset x and y directly on facebook, like user ata a pizza or user played a game. Setting up each one is pretty laborious too because you have to create a .php object on an external server for each one.
Am I missing something or is there a simpler way to go about this?

I'm an applied model theorist, and open image theorems are important in the mathematical structures I study (they limit the number of types of elements being realised, and therefore keep things model theoretically nice e.g. stable).
So I have some idea as to why these open image theorems should hold from a model theoretic viewpoint, and I know that these are regarded as important theorems, but I don't think I've ever come across a diophantine application of an open image theorem in the literature and I'd like to see one.
I'm most familiar with Serre's open image theorem for elliptic curves so an example in this context would be ideal.

- Preheat the oven to 375°F (190°C). Place the apples in a saucepan with the granulated sugar and 2-3 tbsp of water. Cook over low heat, stirring frequently, until the apples are tender but still hold their shape. Spoon the mixture into a 1 quart (1.2 liter) ovenproof, freezer-safe dish.
- To make the topping, combine the butter and flour in a bowl. Using your fingertips, rub the flour into the butter until the mixture resembles coarse bread crumbs. Rub in the sugar in the same manner. Sprinkle over the apple mixture, then bake for 30 minutes, or until the topping is barely golden. Leave to cool completely, wrap in plastic wrap and then foil, and freeze.
- To serve, defrost in the refrigerator overnight. Uncover and bake in a preheated 350°F (180°C) oven for 30 minutes, or until the top is golden brown and the filling is bubbly-hot.
- Add a few blackberries or blueberries to the apples toward the end of the cooking time in Step 1.
- Cheat...A 12-14oz (400g) can of prepared apple pie filling can be your secret ingredient for an easy version of this dessert.

I have been using Charlie Blue every year since my son bought it in Santa's Secret Shop for my Christmas present (about 30 plus years) and still get asked "What kind of perfume do you use? It smells so good".
Written by Anonymous on October 20, 2014
I have worn this for years and still love it have gotten alot of compliments. I was really glad to find it at such a reasonable price. And not the Charlie blue I like the original. This was my first experience with this company and I am pleased.
Written by S.L.A Moffitt on May 15, 2014
Charlie has been one of my favorites since I was in high school in the 70's. It will never go out of style! It has good staying power and the men always say I smell great when I wear it.
Written by Bonnie on April 08, 2014
After receiving Charlie as a Christmas gift in 1974 from an employer named Charlie (as a joke), I have used nothing else. I'm extremely sensitive to fragrances and it is rare to find one that doesn't make me physically ill. Charlie has been my "signature" and I am now 75 yrs. old. My children and grandchildren associate Charlie so much w/me that I sprayed their stuffed toys w/it when they were toddlers so they felt secure when we were apart. I still get compliments from strangers when I wear Charlie in public so PLEASE DO NOT STOP MAKING THE ORIGINAL! I'm only able to find the spray bottles but I prefer the bottles which I can use to refill my own spray atomizers.

What's the difference between diary and journal? They seem like they could mean the same thing, but I'm probably wrong.
Sign up
- Anybody can ask a question

Diary and Journal are synonyms, but there is an important difference:
A diary is strictly a record of personal and daily experiences. Journal could mean a more general record or logbook but more importantly a technical journal, that is a scientific or industry-related publication/periodical.
Summary: Diary and Journal have the same specific meaning, but journal can have other meanings also.
I don't know where I heard this (and I even searched google for the source), but I hear people saying, "Girls keep diaries, boys keep journals." I think they both mean the same thing, but you normally wouldn't hear a boy say, "I'm going to write in my diary." They're more likely to say, "I keep a journal."
A diary is mainly used to write things you would like to remember - daily activities, how the day was spent, what was done, the daily routine and anything that needs to get done. A personal journal is a record of significant experiences. It is much more personal than a diary. It contains feelings, emotions, problems, and self-assurances and can be used to evaluate one's life. For a journal, one does not just record one's experiences but also thoughts, feelings and reflections. Diary writing is a daily activity but one can write in a journal whenever there is a desire to write about significant experiences.
Someone asked for sources:
Oxford Advanced Learner's Dictionary, 8th edition
jour•nal noun
1 a newspaper or magazine that deals with a particular subject or profession a scientific/trade journal e.g. the British Medical Journal
2 used in the title of some newspapers e.g. the Wall Street Journal
3 a written record of the things you do, see, etc. every day He kept a journal of his travels across Asia.
diary noun
1 a book with spaces for each day of the year in which you can write down things you have to do in the future e.g. a desk diary I'll make a note of our next meeting in my diary.
2 a book in which you can write down the experiences you have each day, your private thoughts, etc e.g. Do you keep a diary (= write one regularly) ? The writer's letters and diaries are being published next year.
© Oxford University Press, 2010
I kept (summer) diaries and journals a teenager. One summer, I wrote "diary" about random events taking place every few days. A couple summers later, I wrote in journal form, "A Summer's Travels," covering only those portions of my summer that was spent traveling in Europe and Appalachia. The journal was more "topical."

Every proof I've read about this fact considers two cases: $A$ - finite and $A$ - infinite but this is undecidable problem. So, is there constructive proof?
Is there constructive proof of the fact that every recursive set $A \ne \varnothing$ is recursively enumerable in non-decreasing order?
Here is Goldstern's answer, transcribed to constructive mathematics.
In constructive mathematics we do not speak of "recursive" but rather decidable subsets of $\mathbb{N}$. (Recall that a subset $X \subseteq Y$ is decidable if $\forall y \in Y. y \in X \lor y \not\in X$.) Also, your assumption that $A \neq \emptyset$ should be replaced with "$A$ is inhabited", i.e., $\exists n \in A . \top$, or else one is forced to use Markov principle unecessarily.
Let us also observe that an inhabited decidable subset $A \subseteq \mathbb{N}$ has a minimal element. Indeed, given $k \in A$, we may find the least $j \leq k$ such that $j \in A$ by simply checking all of them.
Suppose then that $A$ is a decidable inhabited subset of $\mathbb{N}$. We wish to enumerate the elements of $A$ in a non-decreasing order. Because $A$ is inhabited and decidable it has a minimal element $k \in A$. Now simply define an enumeration $e : \mathbb{N} \to A$ by $$e(n) = \max \lbrace i \in A \mid i \leq \max(n,k) \rbrace.$$ The maximum in the definition of $e$ exists because it is over a finite inhabited subset of $\mathbb{N}$. Clearly, $e(n) \in A$ for all $n$, and $e$ enumerates all of $A$ because $e(m) = m$ when $m \in A$.
Given a program $P$ I can write a new program $f(P)$ that does the following:
So far I have only transformed a program $P$ into a new program $f(P)$ -- even constructivists or intuitionists will agree that my function $f$ is explicitly computable.
Now assume that $P$ computes the characteristic function of a recursive set $A$ (and is in particular total and outputs only 0 and 1). Then I claim that (constructively):
Note: If there is an enumeration of $A$, then $A$ must be inhabited. I think that being nonempty (i.e., "from $A=\emptyset$ we can get a contradiction") is not enough.

LQG formulations have a minimum length/area. Since say, a Planck area can always be boosted, any minimum area in space can be shrunk. Do LQG proponents worry about local Lorentz invariance violation, and if not, why not? In LQG, does considering length to be a quantum operator really get rid of the boost problem?
This has been asked and answered before: see Does the discreteness of spacetime in canonical approaches imply good bye to STR?
Also, this question has popped up many times on other sites such as physicsforums: http://www.physicsforums.com/showthread.php?t=281951
The answer is roughly that LQG does not in fact violate Lorentz invariance. The discretisation of area and volume operators does not imply a broken symmetry, any more than discretisation of angular momentum states imply breaking of rotational symmetry --- symmetries in quantum theories are equations of the operator algebra, not of the states!

I've been bulking since I started lifting (Starting Strength path, two months in) but have started wondering this week - when do I cut? Is this purely when I can no longer stand the fat that ultimately comes with muscle or is there a recommended "x weeks on, y weeks off" method popular with this program?

According to the Nutrition and Bodyweight section in chapter 8, you should stay on the recommended nutrition program (admittedly a bit vague; I wish he had devoted more book space to this topic) for at least 3-4 months.
Scale weight doesn't tell you much, but if your bodyfat isn't decreasing then you should cut carbs while maintaining a decent caloric load.The author's contention is that your body fat will normalize naturally if you're doing the program. He would say if you aren't making serious strength gains and losing bodyfat... then YNDTP (you're not doing the program).
As far as when to stop doing the program (and really cut), I think the main consideration is not to blow your chance to take full advantage of the potential novice strength gains:


text: Hi all, The Dune discussion seems to be moving along, and we already have selected Stranger in a Strange Land as our February book, so let's get some nominations going for a March discussion book. Remember: 1. Everyone can nominate one book and second a reasonably small number of other books. 2. Books must be available new in US and UK (I just check the two Amazons for this). They should also be in a format other than hardcover, so as to keep costs down. 3. Books must be standalone or book 1 in a series (usually not a problem in SF). 4. They can't have been book club books before. The list of previous discussions can be found here. Let's hear some nominations. I'd like to leave this up no longer than a week and then put it to a vote (assuming we have enough nominations with seconds, thirds, etc, for that) so that we can have the book selected by the beginning of February. So get those nominations in by the 23rd.

Computer Training for a Three-Year-Old?
Q: How and when should I start teaching my three-year-old about the computer?
A: Your three-year-old doesn't need computer training now, or for several years to come. Learning how to use a computer won't make kids smarter, more creative, or more prepared for elementary school. Your child should probably learn how to type when he's in the mid-elementary grades and learn how to locate resources online by the end of elementary school.
The best introduction to computers will come when your child expresses interest in learning more about them. It's the same as when a child's interest in playing the piano is triggered by hearing Mommy play a song. If you have a computer and your child indicates an interest in learning more about how it works and what it does, answer her questions without overwhelming her. Keep this learning process child-generated, fun, and pressure-free.

I thought you'd of learnt by now Deisler not to venture in to GD! I only hang around here and sometimes the challenges forum.
GD? What is GD?
General Discussion. I'll advise you now...don't go in there!
Ah. There are a few I dont go in. I started going into LLM but that has shown itself to be an elitest forum with one massive clique. If you ask a question you are generally pounced upon and ridiculed.
I tend to find that too, very elitest hence why I wanted this forum to be created a few years ago.
We've attracted some good posters here and I for one am pleased at how this forum has turned out, not to mention the fantastic threads which are both great to read and which give inspiration to our own games.
this match, because at half time I fully expected we'd lose: woodwork 4 times by then (one more in the 2nd half), we finally score, only to score an own goal three minutes later, thereby highlighting the current match engine's two main annoyances for me, heh. I'm glad we managed to get a point from that match.
Im wanting to start a journeyman career. Im normally a one club man. Take a lower league club to as high as i can get them. So im a little unsure how to approach a journeyman save. I have a couple of questions so i can give myself an idea how best to approach one, particularity setting the game up.
1. My laptop says i shouldnt exceed 75k players. Would it slow it the game or laptop down if went over that?
2. Has anyone had much experience with the add/remove league function? Because i was thinking for my journeyman career. Maybe loading up all the small and obscure countries. Building my reputation up in them. Then moving onto the larger countries, i.e Spain, Italy etc. My laptop wouldnt be able to handle loading up all the leagues/countires i wanted to play in. So i would have to add and remove leagues once my rep grow, so i could further my career.
Thanks in advance

Check out Azeryk's thread, he's been doing pretty much that.
As for adding in more players than recommended, it will inevitably slow your game down as there's more data to process. I'd go with some key leagues that you load from the start - the big four/five in Europe and maybe Brazil and Argentina, and maybe use the add/remove to colour around this with smaller leagues that you might like to manage in. Like start with a couple of Scandinavian or Eastern european ones, then Holland or Portugal as your rep rises.
hows everyone finding fm12 then?
I'm not
I really like it! Then I loved FM10 and 11 too. I think FM09>FM10 was the biggest leap forward the series has taken in a long long time. I think I've enjoyed the game far more since boycotting GD
Im trying to find the starting league/country reputations for all the countries in the game. Can anybody point me in the right direction please?
Whether it's difficult in other countries I'm not sure as I've not had chance to play there yet.
Game is slowing down yes really and risk for crash dumps are higher but if you have 4gb ram or more (which FM is 32 bit program and cannot use more than 3,67gb ram) you can safely play with all players...
1 important issue and i want to shout... "If you want to add all real players don't tick add players to playable teams" option. Because It could give you more than 450000 players and even I didn't want to get this risk
I'm enjoying it. The jump from C1 to C2 isn't massive, but the jump from C1 to B is HUGE
You know your team has played poor when you lose a game and it doesn't even show injury time

from me
RIP Gary Speed. I've been through too much of this as a hockey fan over the summer...
I really hope something can be done in terms of mental illness and football (and as well as other sports)...this culture has to change.
Was in total shock when it was announced on sky sports. RIP Gary Speed.
I think it hurts me more because of the great job he was doing with our national side aswell..Sounds sad i know but Welsh football hasnt been good recently till he took over
Really great memories of his time at Newcastle. He had a great knack of bursting into the box just as a cross was coming in, had a great leap and was deadly accurate as well. Really knocked me off balance when I heard.
As an Everton fan I have good memories of him, wish he had been at the club longer. Was at work when I heard and it knocked me for six. One of the rare breed of footballers where I think almost all fans, of all clubs, appreciated the kind of person/footballer he was. A sad loss and my thoughts are with his family.
R.I.P Gary Speed
Have to agree with everything said above. Such a tragic loss for football, and the world as a whole. Was watching him on football focus the day before, and would never have seen it coming, not in a million years.

Looks like for me, FM12 is over.
Insurmountable technical issues. Might get another copy by not immediately.
Now that we've had FM12 in our mits for over six weeks now, what's everyone's opinion on the overall difficulty level?
If I'm being honest, I think it's a lot easier than previous reincarnations. Don't get me wrong, there's still a lot to love about this game, but I do feel that the level of challenge has been tamed down somewhat. In my current journeyman save, I've already achieved two back-to-back promotion, and now with Fulham, I'm having unbelievable success in my first season in the Premier League. Having played FM/CM for 15 years, I'm no donut when it comes setting up tactics, and I know what instructions will get the best out of my players, but I'm certainly not some tactical genius, and don't spend hours adjusting sliders to a fine detail. Going from the BSS to Premier League in six seasons is a lot quicker than I would have expected too, normally this would take me about ten. And it's not as if I use 3rd party add-ons either, or download tactics, I don't even use the player search; I work everything out for myself, and rely 100% on my scouts reports before determining whether to sign a player or not. Perhaps it due to the match engine being the same as last years? Perhaps I've just been very lucky?
I know I could make things harder for myself by restricting myself to home-grown players or managing in some obscure country, but I've never had to do any of this in the past. Playing a journeyman career is my favoured approach to FM, one of which I've always enjoyed immensely, but it feels like I might have to enforce some restrictions on myself to try and make things a bit harder, and prolong the challenge of the game.
I'm wondering if this is the general consensus from the FMCU community too, or is it just me? From reading the several excellent threads on the forums, it appears I'm not the only one who is enjoying a lot of success very early on their careers. I'm not really having a moan either, I still love the game and I'm still going to plough on with my career, but I'm just wondering if I need to start taking a different approach to things.
I'd be interested in your opinions
It is a lot easier, no doubt but one I welcome as I struggled with previous versions that were quite tough. I say that as someone who has played every single Sports Interactive game since CM 1992/93. I will add though, that we still have some way to go to be as easy as those early games. I remember starting with Torquay and winning the Premier League within 4 seasons. Winning Serie A within 2 seasons in CM Italia. So whilst it is easier, it is still not that easy for some, myself included.
This year is a lot more enjoyable for me, primarily because I have discovered this FMCU Forum. I genuinely love reading the threads and people's games, not least yours AK22.
It has definitely felt easier to me this year, although I played a very different type of game last year so I've not got a lot to compare it to.
I've not bought FM12, but from reading many career threads and the general feedback it certainly looks to be easier. Unfortunate that, as it quickly gets boring when you get success handed to you with little effort or struggle.
Back-to-back promotions should be a freak of nature. But now it seems to happen too frequently, even from League 1 to the PL which has typically been much more difficult than say BSS to League 2.
I really do hope this is sorted in a future patch, even if GQ goes into über-rant mode (or a higher-pitched über-rant mode than usual )
Probably a bit easier, but not by masses, have had better and longer consistent patches on previous FM's so how I'm doing is far from groundbreaking even for me, just sticking a bit more than usual in the positive.
I suppose one of the things SI have taken a bit of stick for recently is the fact that the game is not particularly 'user-friendly' to new players anymore. To help balance this, I'd imagine they have made it a bit easier to achieve early success in your career, just to keep the casual player's initial interests. I'm sure some people are unlikely to 'buy-in' to the franchise if they are unable to get some degree of instance success, and just give up on the game.
It will certainly be interesting to see if any tweaks are made in the future patches, as there does seem to be quite a lot of feedback on this matter in the GD forum :shudder:. I do tend to take most things in there with a pinch of salt, and I'm not going to scour all sixteen pages of the thread, but there is more than a smattering of people who agree that it's on the easy side.
Unfortunately for SI, they can never win. There will always be several 'characters' who will criticise the game for being impossible/unrealistic/unfair, as their Man City side got beaten by Stoke, which totally ruined their lives forever (obviously!)
Somebody's lives just got ruined.
Luton pulled off an even bigger shocker.
(After 30 games, City are 6 points clear at the top, Arsenal 3rd 9 behind)
To me it doesn't really "feel" easier at all.
Then again, success has come a bit faster in my current career compared to previous versions (though nothing hugely unrealistic), and with so much buzz about it I suppose the "smoke is fire" principle applies.
I certainly can't put my finger on what it is that makes it easier, though, and I'm enjoying the game a lot.
I also feel like this version is a little bit easier than years past, if only because team talks are easier, and maintaining morale is the most crucial element (it seems) to success. Once you get on a roll, it's hard to be stopped. I mean, back-to-back Champions League wins with Sparta Prague is great, likewise for a World Cup win with Russia, but I can't imagine having achieved this in past versions of FM.
I don't seem to be finding it too easy, certainly not going from my progress in my thread of the past 4 seasons. However, when reading other FMCU threads and in GD many people seem to be getting far too much success, too soon.
But as I say it doesn't seem a problem for me...yet.
FM11, I won BSS then BSP then L2, all coming top of the league, in back-to-back-to-back season.
Now I'm in my 9th season and achieved 2 promotions. I mean, come on... Am I the only one to be struggling?
Although, the people that read my thread will know I do bring it ALL upon myself. I kind of like the unbelievable torture of playing as Macclesfield Town and losing to Corby Town in the league, it's somehow quite enjoyable
I think the problem lies in that a lot of the leagues are at the same level. For example, Serie C1 and C2 are pretty much the same in terms of talent IF your team rep is high enough.
Ok, do any of you read the threads of others and immediately fancy trying the league you have been reading about?
Just wanted to point out that I dont really find FM 12 any easier or harder than FM 11 - I was able win back to back to back to back to back promotions (BSN to Premier League in 5 years!) in FM 11 - in FM 12, Ive done the back to back thing up till the Championship, where I am now playing my second season. What I did find is that on FM 12, it is alot harder to retain star players when they are clearly better than the level of your club. It is also more difficult to sign players that would be immediate contributors - this is ofcourse, in my experience. Ive only played my Bromley save (available to read here on the forum!), so it could be something that is exclusive to my save.
I'm looking for a bit of advice regarding youth facilities. Does anyone know if these only benefit players on youth contracts? My youth intake all arrive on semi-pro deals, so would it be a waste of money trying to upgrade?
I'm pretty sure youth facilities affect the quality of player that you get in the youth intake so always try get that up before anything else.
That had always been my understanding as well, but now we have the ability to increase the junior coaching budget so I thought that had taken its place in that respect. My finances are very tight, so I wanted to make sure that I don't waste a penny.
Just wondering if anyone else has had a similar issue. On the fixtures screen, to the right is the filter option where you can select which competition you want to view. The issue I'm having is that it's still set for last season e.g. Last season I was in the BSN but have been promoted to the BSP. However, on the tick list it still displays BSN as the league competition rather than the BSP. Any ideas?
Have you tried deleting the cache folder?
That sometimes fixes display/UI problems.
I had exactly that but once I'd played a few more games it fixed itself.
I don't have the option to filter through the Carling Cup fixtures on mine.
Silly question but where is the cache? I've tried the default location MyDocuments/SI/FM12 but there's nothing there :confused:.

Thanks for the suggestions guys but still no joy . Quite annoying really.
Sacked after 11 (?) games with Kansas City (although MLS clubs have always had itchy triggers in FM). And my current stint in Belarus (which I'm tentatively resuming) has begun with 8 straight defeats, some of them absolute maulings.
**** me, I think I should start a new game and see if that changes my luck.
These are my results (Home team listed first. I've lost every game):
Every game I get absolutely destroyed. I'm lucky to get 1 shot on target in a game; my opponents are scoring 25, 30 yard curling shots every game.
My last 0-5 was with a 4-2-3-1 deep (2 DMCs; set 1 of them as an anchor man)
Try this:
Rigid philosophy, standard approach. Set passing down both flanks. Basically all you need is two better than average wingers, pump ball after ball into the box. If the crosses are getting dealt with consistently, set crossing to mixed or from deep. With a 4-2-3-1 deep you're probably leaving their midfield loads of room, with this system they should be crowded out by the three MCs.Code:----------DLF(S)---------- -------------------------- W(A)------------------W(A) -------------------------- ---BWM(D)-CM(AU)-CM(S)---- -------------------------- -------------------------- -------------------------- FB(S)--CD(D)--CD(D)--FB(S) -------------------------- -----------GK(D)----------

Perhaps that's the problem then, too much chopping and changing. Also, I definitely wouldn't recommend having any slider to an extreme. Knock it down 5 clicks or so and it should help.
Having said that, the way he's set up looks like he will create a gap in some situations. I'd have the central AM on support, and perhaps even tweak forward runs to rarely. This way they'll play more as a three and two than as a two and three.
On the bright side I've become quite adept at team meetings. Typically leave with every player fired up and with improved morale.
I'm rubbish at them
About that. In my game I manage Hansa Rostock, got the job when previous manager was fired, and the club was 16th struggling to stay in the league. My first three matches were 0-3 0-4 and 1-5 loses, then odd win and a few more heavy loses. I stopped conceeding so many goals when I finally changed tactics to quite defensive 4-1-3-1-1 formation with anchor DM and when morale improved a bit. I started to win home games with tight 1-0 or 2-1 results by playing very defensively with counter attacks ticked on. Eventually I managed to stay in the league through relegation playoffs : ).
It's your tactics!
Or my players are crap.
Check out Deisler's thread, catenaccio is the way forward
Damnit. Negotiations in FM are driving me batshit insane. Offer out player for say 5M. Offers come in for 1.7M across the board. Negotiate to 4M. Every God damn club comes back with LESS than they offered in the first place.
Same when trying to buy players. Offer 2M. Club wants 3M. Offer 2.4M. Club now wants 4M.
I imagine this is how the Mafia operates. Take the first 'offer' or you're screwed. So frustrating It's stuff like this, which is so far removed from real negotiations, that smash the image of this being an actual football world.
Please tell me this is MILES better in FM12...
I had a very annoying thing happen during the contract negotiations (more than once this has happened)
Me and the player get to a 'deal' as such, where I suggest an off to him, he changes something ever so slightly, I 'accept' it and therefore I go to suggest the terms. He then negotiates (both occasions the player changed the 'minimum fee release clause', lowering it) I suggest the terms again, he lowers it again, I suggest the terms again, he lowers again and then when I suggest the terms again he gets fed up and backs out of the deal completely!?
I agree a deal with him, he constantly changes it and he then backs out due to frustration?

For more information on health insurance call the Medigap Helpline at 1-800-242-1060. This is a statewide toll-free number set up the Wisconsin Board on Aging and Long-Term Care and funded by the Office of the Commissioner of Insurance to answer questions about health insurance and other health care benefits for the elderly. It has no connection with any insurance company.
The Office of the Commissioner of Insurance (OCI) offers three brochures to assist you in making your decision about Medicare supplement and Medicare Advantage insurance plans. Medicare Supplement Insurance Approved Policies lists all policies available in Wisconsin including benefits and current premiums. Medicare Advantage Plans in Wisconsin explains the new options available to Medicare-eligible persons age 65 and over, and some Medicare-eligible disabled individuals under age 65, who are looking for information about the Medicare Advantage program. The Wisconsin Guide to Health Insurance for People with Medicare explains Medicare and supplemental insurance to cover those expenses not paid by Medicare.
If you are having a problem with your insurance, you should first check with your agent or with the company that sold you the policy. If you do not get satisfactory answers from the agent or company, you may file a complaint with the Office of the Commissioner of Insurance.

Print Globe really bailed us out! We had a customer who slammed us with a difficult project that we couldn't fulfill in house, and our regular vendor was dragging his feet and couldn't even get us a hard price to tell our customer. Print Globe was able to create a solution for us and our customer and delivered on time and without complaints.

I was thinking of using Quickly but I don't like Glade and I want to use pyside. I want to start my starch. Should I delete all the files and create a pyside python file? Will Quickly still work with it and will it be considered for Ubuntu app showdown?
Let me tell you that pyside is the official python bindings to qt and it is under the LGPL license and it is available in default Ubuntu repository.
So tell me a good practice but I will still like to use Unity and Ubuntu specific libraries or components that quickly has.

What other reasons are there for choosing either option? Is there a relationship between the type of service?

New Mexico Basketball: We're No. 3 (or 36)!
New Mexico either has the third best men's college-basketball team in the country, or the 36th best. Pitt either has the fifth best, or the 30th. Unfortunately for Pitt, the system that's kinder to New Mexico is the one the tournament selection committee usually consults.
Despite losing at UNLV on Saturday, New Mexico remains a star in the Ratings Percentage Index, which takes into account a team's record, their opponents' records and their opponents' opponents' records. It doesn't account for victory margin. As a result, analysts have mostly abandoned it—except the selection committee, which considers RPI as one factor.
Ken Pomeroy's ratings, unlike RPI, take into account margin of victory and how recently the game was played. Pomeroy has Pitt well out in front of New Mexico. "I can't speak for the RPI since I don't pay attention to it, but my system factors in how a team played using margin of victory, the quality of the opponent, the site of the game, and how recently the game was played," said college-basketball analyst Ken Pomeroy, in an email. "Those are factors the RPI doesn't use, or uses in a different way than I do." Pomeroy's ratings show Pitt well out in front of New Mexico. RPI and Pomeroy also disagree sharply on a number of other teams ranked in the top 30 by one system or another, with a discrepancy of at least 20 spots between Pomeroy's rankings and the RPI as computed by ESPN. Pomeroy rates Wisconsin, Kentucky and St. Mary's (Calif.) far higher than RPI does. RPI prefers Colorado, Oklahoma, UConn and Butler.
"The RPI is one of many tools the committee uses when evaluating teams for selections," said NCAA spokesman Cameron Schuh, who added that the committee also uses computer models as "a resource throughout the season and during the selection process," but are "not used as a criteria for selection or seeding, however."
Last year, the Big Lead's Jason Lisk demonstrated that by choosing five teams that were highly rated by Pomeroy or Jeff Sagarin but not by RPI, and five vastly preferred by RPI. His RPI All-Stars went 0-5 in the tournament while his Pomeroy darlings went 5-5.
I built on the technique by identifying all teams that were, as of early February in each the last three seasons, rated 20+ spots higher or lower by Pomeroy than by RPI or Real Time RPI or both. Then I checked how many games they won in the NCAA tournament, compared to how many games teams of their seed usually win (not counting play-in games to get into the round of 64). The 10 teams preferred by RPI had an abysmal NCAA record, winning just three games, compared to an expected 9.04. (Including one win by New Mexico, as a five seed last year.) Two of those wins were by Northern Iowa, as a nine seed in 2010. The 16 teams Pomeroy preferred didn't do all that well—winning 12 games compared to an expected 13.65, with two wins coming from 11 seed Marquette in 2011—but that blew away the RPI All-Stars' performance.
This all suggests that if Pitt and New Mexico both get into the tournament, Pitt will be a better bet to go far—but perhaps not as good as teams that the RPI and Pomeroy agree on. As of the latest ratings, Florida and Michigan are two such teams: They're the only programs ranked in the top five by both RPI and Pomeroy.

FindAGrave, as I understand it, is a graves registration database. That means that memorials listed as 'Burial Unknown' should not be on the site longer than 30 days past D.O.D. The site isn't called 'Find the Name of a Deceased Person.' It seems that some are confused about these things. If you are one of those, see the FAQ's.
If I have made a demonstrable error of fact on any of my postings, please let me know in order that I may correct it. As many of the stones are old, worn, and weathered, I have done my best to interpret the information thereon. If I'm not reasonably sure of the information, I won't post it.
With very few exceptions, all my interment data comes from photographs of the individual's gravestone done by me in the field.
If you see an image you would like a copy of, let me know and I'll be happy to provide one. There is but one proviso however. Any image provided must be for your personal use only and is not to be uploaded to another web site.
On the subject of 'Relationship Links' and 'S.A.C.'s', please read the following carefully. And use the correct procedure!!! I will be happy to make links and corrections.
Please double check your suggestions for accuracy before submitting them. Hopefully you will have a reasonably reliable source for the information, AND HAVE PROVIDED IT!!! BTW, most web sites are not sources. For the most part, they contain information somebody uploaded. The source is where the information came from. For example, if someone on a web site claims to quote from the New York Times, the NYT is the source (along with date of publication, edition, page number, etc.), NOT THE WEB PAGE. If it helps, try thinking of this as if you were writing a term paper. (Does either 'MLA' or 'CMS' sound familiar???)
I have been deluged recently with suggestions and requests to make relationship links which simply cannot be possible. When you ask me to link a child to parents who would have been 3 years old at the time of the child's birth, something's very wrong somewhere. Of course, if you wish, I can easily post anything you submit and attach your name to the erroneous information. There is enough bad data on the internet as it is and I really don't want to be adding to the problem. But if you insist... Please keep in mind, just because it's on the internet doesn't make it true.))) Since FindAGrave rules prohibit the use of external links (they can go dead or change over time), I won't create them.
I have 'isolated' the bulk of the 2 preceding paragraphs with ((())) because the current 'Edit' system no longer provides for the submission of documentation and has thus made them irrelevant. It seems that now the addition of any data is more important than the addition of accurate data which has been properly sourced. Previously, when someone submitted an edit, it was via a message which provided a text format for submission of documentation which I could then 'copy and paste' to add the data, along with the documentation, and the name of the member who submitted the information. As it stands now, I would have to message everyone who submits a change with a request for a source and wait for a reply. That reply might never come and the data would automatically be added after 21 days anyway. I.M.O.
Please do not ask for transfers solely for the purpose of adding biographies and making links. If you submit information from a reliable source, a source you have provided, I will add it. Keep in mind you can always create a virtual cemetery.

Noted but do not agree when comes to a Veteran
Interesting and thank you, but as I have recently said to someone whether they are lost at sea, in the air, or otherwise we need to remember all, not a selected few. Ancestry purchased findagrave. Keep in mind headstones, do always show correct information when it comes to records. Noted and the paper issue. Who paid the obit? The person who paid to have it put in. A legal point. If I paid for it to put the information in it is mine and not the newspaper. Noted . Thank you for your service.

RE: Garret Schanck
I do not know Schanck, my papers all show Schenck even marriage certs as well as birth. I will go through papers and double ck but I have never seen that spelling before. All of Michael's papers refer to Schenck, Michael's son wrote a long letter about when they came from PA, with whom, and who married whom. Michael's personal papers say who is wife is and who her parents were.
Will get back with you-

It appears that he is the grandson of Rachel Hyde Holcombe. Jacob Holcombe (spouse of Rachel) born 1741 and died 1820 based on the Book The Holcombe Genealogy by Jesse Seaver.

Initials in Bio
"(Does either 'MLA' or 'CMS' sound familiar???)"
And there are more initals on your bio page.
Sorry, but no, they do not sound familiar.
According to how I remember adding initials: The first time the initials are used the words to which they refer are written out followed by the initials in parenthesis; thereafter, just the initials.
So what do they mean?

156978061 added for the headstone behind to show you the dates I see. If you agree, then please let me know to either delete my page in favor of one by you or to transfer.
It doesn't matter about the initials on your bio. I was just curious.

The headstone image and the death date on the memorial do not match. Sorry, but I don't know on which memorial page the 1812 should go.
Also, I enjoyed reading your bio. One question: What do those initials mean? Would you please spell them out in your bio?

Photo request
I was wondering whether you would be willing to upload your detail photo from memorial 14542756 (Col Andrew Beard) to the memorial for his wife 14542758 (Nancy Camp Beard). Alternatively, if you give me your permission I would be happy to do the download/upload solely for this purpose. Thanks very much for considering my request and, most important, for all your contributions to findagrave. Greenie
