In his book "Model Categories" Mark Hovey constructs both projective and injective model structures on unbounded chain complexes of $R$-modules. For what kind of abelian categories this construction works? For example what about the categorty $I^{R-mod}$ of diagrams of $R$-modules of a fixed shape $I$?
A version of this question was already asked, but there the emphasis was on the category of sheaves, and I am interested in a category of diagrams that always has enough projectives and injectives. Any reference will be appreciated.

What that might have done for her career, who knows?
You cant say for certain in such situations, but although I like Jackson a lot I dont think the role would necessarily have done for her what it did for Streep. Jackson did get another shot with Making Love, which sank like a stone, along with any future Jackson might have had in feature films. (ML also featured two other actors who did better in television, Harry Hamlin and Michael Ontkean. We have an existing thread on the movie here, if anyone is interested.)
It was certainly shortsighted of the CA producers not to be more flexible -- Jackson had no choice except to leave the show or spend the rest of her career wondering what if. Probably Spelling miscalculated, figuring that if the show could do well without Fawcett-Majors it could survive the loss of Jackson, too.

This study does represent the first use of a novel approach to cancer vaccination. The administration of a co-stimulatory molecule appears to be key in animal and laboratory studies. Therefore, this study tested a vaccination with the costimulatory molecule B7.1 with an anti-CEA vaccine. As this was a phase I trial, most importantly, there were no major toxicities and no evidence of autoimmunity. The concern over the generation of an autoimmune response was warranted, as CEA is expressed on much of the intestinal epithelium. The efficacy of the vaccine, however, is in question. Granted, this was a phase I trial, not designed to investigate efficacy per se, but the authors indicate that the responses seen were encouraging. This is true from the standpoint that all of these patients had been treated many times before, likely with resultant dulled immune systems. They also had metastatic disease, likely unresponsive to conventional intervention. From that respect, the response in three patients is excellent. However, the definition they used for stable disease allowed the tumor to progress up to 25%. In addition, a T-cell immune response was seen in only 4 patients. Though this is an indirect measure of the efficacy of the vaccine, it is still an indication that the vaccine may require further refinement. Regardless, in the complex field of immunology and cancer vaccines, the fact that this study used a tumor specific antigen laden vaccine with the novel addition of the costimulatory molecule makes it an important step in the development of an effective cancer vaccine.

Getting Up To Speed With…Corey Russell
By Ben Deatherage
(Photo Courtesy of Madman Photography)
The Cooper Clan is one of the most famous families to race at the Cottage Grove Speedway. The family has had over a dozen drivers with last name Cooper as well as several relations compete too. Corey Russell is the latest member of the family to take up the racing trade.
Driver: Corey Russell
Hometown: Cottage Grove, Oregon
Home Track: Cottage Grove Speedway
Occupation: Millwright
Age: 28
Years Racing: 0
Classification: IMCA Modifieds
Car Number: 3RL
Chassis: Larry Shaw Race Cars
Sponsors: C&M Racing, Junction City Muffler Shop, I-5 Tire Factory, West End Performance, Eastside Rollforming Specialties, 1st Class Designs, Dennymite Race Cars, Eco-Machine Technologies,
Special Thanks: Andrea Russell (wife), Ryan McTaggart (cousin), Ron Cooper (cousin), Gus Cooper (cousin), Russ Cooper (uncle), Alan Cooper (uncle), Earl Cooper (grandfather)
BD: Corey although you do not have the same last name you are the newest member of the "Cooper Racing Clan". Correct?
CR: Yes. My mother (Linda) was Earl's daughter. I grew up around racing my whole life. My family was heavily involved and many of them raced. My grandfather (Earl), who built cars, and my uncle (Alan), who raced them, were two major inspirations for me to start racing.
BD: Your car number is 3RL. Does the "RL" represent anything special?
CR: What I was shooting for was a tribute to my late grandfather Earl. I tried to make it where it kind of spelled out his name. It was definitely something different but cool. He was very important to me and when my parents were busy working he basically raised me. He had always wanted me to get in a race car and we had plans to build one together, but we never managed to make it happen. The entire project from rebuilding the car, the retro paint scheme, and making all come together was a tribute to him.
BD: So far after three races how would you rate your season?
CR: It's been a learning experience. I feel good about it so far. I'm happy my car has no dents. I'm just trying to get the hang of it and get seat time.
BD: Family is can be very helpful especially in racing. And the family you come from is very special. How have they helped you out?
CR: They are a huge part of it. Racing has been a part of my whole life. If it weren't for my cousins Ryan (McTaggart) and Ron (Cooper) I wouldn't have been able to do it. My wife Andrea is getting very involved too she was even turning wrenches on my cousin Austin's (McTaggart) car last week. And my kids are getting into it. My youngest just told me the other day that she wants to be a race car driver. We'll see about that.
BD: Now is it true that your car is at the legendary Earl Cooper shop?
CR: Yeah. Both Austin and I have our cars there at grandad's old shop. It's a big deal because I grew up at that place. There are lots of cars that have come out of that garage. There are a lot of good memories that I have of that shop.

In NYC, elementary schools typically enroll children in Kindergarten through 5th grade; some schools also offer a Pre-Kindergarten program. The birthday cutoff for school registration is December 31. Therefore, students are eligible to apply for Kindergarten during the year of they turn 5 years old and Pre-K the year they turn 4 years old.
Public Kindergarten in NYC is offered for a full school day (typically 8:40 a.m.-2:50 p.m.). Kindergarten attendance is optional in NYC, however, if desired, children of NYC residents are guaranteed enrollment in a local public school beginning in Kindergarten. Children must enroll in school by the First Grade.
Like other communities across the country, children are typically assigned to schools based on their home address. These schools, known as "zoned schools," serve all children in a designated geographical catchment area. You can find your zoned school on the NYC Department of Education's website or by contacting NYC's Information Line, 311.
There are more than 700 public elementary schools, including 140 K-8 programs in NYC. During the elementary school years, the majority of families are comfortable with their children attending their zoned neighborhood school. Some families however seek other options and have their children evaluated for public gifted and talented programs, identify bi-lingual or dual language programs, or consider charter schools in their home neighborhood or elsewhere.
As you consider the variety of education options in NYC, it is important that you visit your local zoned school to get to know the school where your child is guaranteed a seat. Be reflective as you consider what is most important to you. No school will have every quality you want, but if you know what matters most to you, you will find an educational option where your child can thrive.

Cajun pawn stars is nothing like the original show. The family that runs the shop low-balls people and rarely ever makes a deal with anyone. Clearly if someone has an item that's worth 10 grand for example, you dont come back with an offer of a thousand and not budge. I understand making a profit, but how the hell do you make a business run if you never make a deal with anyone? But then again cost of living is cheaper in the south so low-ball offers seem like a lot of money to some people. Read more

Hi guys!
I've recently purchased the NN3MkII starter package for use with my Canon 550D and 17-40mm lens. I'd like to create a virtual tour of Wellington NZ, so that my friends and family back in the States can get a glimpse of my new home via 360/180 panos! I've been pretty successful so far at creating a few decent spherical panos out doors
My question is this- do I need a T-adaptor to more accurately line up the entrance pupil with my camera/lens combo?
From what I have found here and elsewhere online, and from my own measurements and experience, it would seem that the upper rail setting at 17mm would be 110mm, a bit over the 106 or so max I am currently able to set it at.
So, anyone have any experience with this camera/lens setup, and suggested way around this?
My concern is that shipping a $15 T-Adaptor to NZ will cost close to $150 total! If i had realized, I would have ordered the adaptor with my initial order. I'm very happy with the NN3 and think its a great product, but I'm a little frustrated at the prospect of paying almost the cost of the starter kit for one adaptor!
any help would be truly appreciated :) Thanks!!!!
in the meantime, here are a few panos I've done in Wellington:

WASHINGTON, D.C. (November 8, 2012)--Lawyers for accused Fort Hood killer Maj. Nidal Hasan have filed an appeal with the Court of Appeals for the Armed Forces seeking to overturn a ruling issued last month.
The appeals seek to overturn the previous decision from the Army Court of Criminal Appeals authoring the trial judge to order the removal of Hasan's beard, worn in violation of Army grooming standards.
The appeals also seek to have the court order Col. Gregory Gross, the trial judge, removed from the case because of alleged bias and to overturn the past contempt proceedings held because of Hasan's refusal to shave his beard.
Hasan's court martial remains stayed by the CAAF pending resolution of these matters.
A response to the appeals may be filed no later than Nov. 19.
The CAAF may set a date for oral argument, but has not done so yet and is not required to do so before making a decision in the case.
There was no indication how long the stay will remain in effect.
The order said only that Hasan's motion for a stay "is hereby granted pending further order of the Court."
The U.S. Court of Appeals for the Armed Forces is the highest-level appellate court for the U.S. military.
In October, the U.S. Army Court of Appeals upheld the finding of trial judge Col. Gregory Gross that Hasan failed to prove the beard is an expression of a sincerely held religious belief and said even if the beard were such an expression, "compelling government interests" also justified Gross' order that Hasan meet Army grooming standards.
Gross ordered Hasan to shave before the court-martial or said he would have him shaved forcibly.
The court also upheld previous contempt findings against Hasan in which he was fined $1,000 six times for appearing in court out of uniform because of his beard.
Two judges on the appeals court, in a partial dissent, said Gross' order requiring Hasan to appear in court clean-shaven compromised his impartiality.
Hasan faces a possible death penalty if convicted in the Nov. 5, 2009 rampage.
On the third anniversary of the Fort Hood shooting rampage Monday, 148 survivors and family members of victims sued the U.S. government and seeking compensation over the attack in which an Army psychiatrist who is awaiting trial is charged.
The rampage on Nov., 5, 2009 at the post's Soldier Readiness Center left 13 people dead and more than two-dozen others wounded.
The lawsuit alleges negligence by the government and claims the Department of Defense is avoiding legal and financial responsibility for the killings by classifying the shootings as "workplace violence" rather than as a terrorist attack.
The group also is suing the estate of Anwar al-Awlaki, a radical U.S.-born Islamic cleric who the victims say inspired Army psychiatrist, Hasan, to carry out the attack.
The two men exchanged e-mails before the shootings.

First of all, I'm not so close and familiar with IIS7 and using it just for redirection to a weblogic application. The backend weblogic application which I use has a login page as a starter page. When I call the page through IIS7, it redirects my requests to weblogic and I see login page. When I try to login with correct pass&user name pair everthing goes fine I can use the system without any problem. However when I try to login with wrong credentials, IIS shows me defaul 403 permission denied page instead of my weblogic applications login error page. When I dig the problem a litte bit, I found out that weblogic replys my wrong login attempt with a 403 message which already includes weblogic applications login failed page and when IIS see 403 message, it discards the page in it and just sends me pure 403 response (I've deleted IIS's fancy 403 error message, as well)
Is there any way that iis7 to redirect all requests and responeses without processing it? Changing the reply message code of weblogic application is out of question, unfortunately.

When I look at the DATEDIFF() function on SQL Server, I see that it takes a datepart as its first parameter.
Possible datepart values include day and dayofyear.
I understand that dayofyear is the day number of the year (so that Feb 2 is 33, for example) and day is the day of the month (so that Feb 2 is 2). However, I don't understand the difference when it comes to the DATEDIFF function.
Here are some examples:
select DATEDIFF(dayofyear, '2012-01-01', '2012-02-02')
returns: 32
select DATEDIFF(day, '2012-01-01', '2012-02-02')
returns: 32
select DATEDIFF(dayofyear, '2011-02-01', '2012-02-02')
returns: 366
select DATEDIFF(day, '2011-02-01', '2012-02-02')
returns 366
Are dayofyear and day equivalent for the purposes of DATEDIFF()?

Rose This note draws on academic work, as well as social and economic data across several countries, to provide a basic understanding of some of the differences among capitalist systems. It begins with a description of the system of capitalism, and characteristics that to a greater or lesser degree are universally shared. It then moves to describing two models of "comparative capitalism," as well as examining state capitalism. Finally, for additional perspective the note provides cross-sectional and time-series data for social, economic and political metrics for five different capitalist systems—China, Germany, Japan, Sweden and the United States.

I have a perl program that retrieves data from the database of my university library and it works well. Now I want to rewrite it in python but encounter the problem
<urlopen error [errno 104] connection reset by peer>
The perl code is:
my $ua = LWP::UserAgent->new;
$ua->cookie_jar( HTTP::Cookies->new() );
my $response = $ua->get($url);
The python code I wrote is:
cj = CookieJar();
request = urllib2.Request(url); # url: target web page
opener = urllib2.build_opener(urllib2.HTTPCookieProcessor(cj));
opener = urllib2.install_opener(opener);
data = urllib2.urlopen(request);
I use VPN(virtual private network) to log in my university's library at home, and I tried both the perl code and python code. The perl code works as I expected, but the python code always encountered "urlopen error".
I googled for the problem and it seems that the urllib2 fails to load the environmental proxy. But according to the document of urllib2, the urlopen() function works transparently with proxies which do not require authentication. Now I feels quite confusing. Can anybody help me with this problem?

If one googles the word encomprises, there are 5K+ pages, that have this word. I personally have heard people in the USA use it with a meaning of include.
Official dictionaries, on the other hand, only have the word comprise.
Is "encomprise" just a verb form of "comprise", making the use of "encomprises" a mistake?

Controlling Engine Temperature - Controlling Underhood TempsWritten by on August 18, 2011 Remote Oil Filter, Coated Headers, Basic Tune-Up, And More
When most people think of keeping a motor at operating temp they think only of a radiator and keeping coolant in said radiator. Well, I recently spent some time with boys over at Deuces Wild Hot Rods in Fillmore, California, where we were playing around with ways to keep their truck alive on the road and racetrack. Their so-called shop truck has been testing the limits of the Ford's stock 390 FE oiling system.
If you're not familiar with the truck, it was featured in the October 2010 issue ("The Evil Twin"). Since then, the truck has been modified to compete in autocross and various road course events around Southern California and Arizona while still being roadworthy. Except for the exterior performance items, the motor has completely stock internals.
Somehow we got on the topic of underhood temperatures and what could be done to make the engine more likely to last while racing and running around town. What we came up with to help might surprise some of you, but for others that have competed in drag racing, circle track, or off-road racing know that keeping the motor cool is a very good way to increase overall performance. So we turned to Hedman Hedders, Hamburger's Performance Products, Trans Dapt, and Autolite for some parts that will get the motor to cool down. CT
More Photos From This Article View Slideshow
I thought before doing anything it might be a good idea to do a basic tune-up, like cleaning the carb, servicing the air filter, and swapping in a new set of Autolite spark plugs.Underhood temps can affect the fuel atomization. In some cases, fuel will boil inside the fuel lines due to the radiant heat coming off of the lifter valley cover of a stock, cast-iron intake manifold where hot motor oil constantly splashes up against it. This 390's cast-iron intake got changed out a long time ago with an aluminum dual-plane from Edelbrock.To take some of the heat away from the carb and the fuel lines we used this Hamburger Performance Products carb spacer. This 2-inch spacer increases the gap between intake and carb, promoting a lower fuel temp entering the motor. The spacer also can trick the runners into thinking they are longer than they actually are, and, if tuned correctly, increase overall power. Nonetheless it looks cool.Here, John Meadows, owner/operator of Deuces Wild Hot Rods, is screwing in the eight, longer carb studs supplied with the spacer to adapt it to the intake and carb. To install, snug the studs down finger tight and then tighten the studs with a ½-inch socket or wrench. Do not to overtighten the studs on the carb because you can crack the carb body when overdoing it.The hardest part of the spacer install is changing out the fuel hose for a longer one and adjusting the throttle cable and kickdown cable. In some cases you might have to lengthen your stock throttle linkage or replace the linkage altogether, like with the Lokar cable and pedal we picked up. But for most guys with a few handtools they should be able to install the spacer in 30 minutes or less.We also wanted to add this upper air cleaner cap from Trans Dapt (PN 2231). Us truck guys are lucky because we have tons of room under the hood, but what if you are limited with a really low-profile air filter? Then this is definitely your answer. Trans Dapt reports airflow gains as much as 500 cfm. Wow, that is a lot.Today we are installing Hamburger Performance Products Multi-Position Remote Oil Filter Relocation Base (PN 3344) and Spin-On Bypass Adapter (PN 3320). A remote oil filter system helps reduce the heat transferred from the headers and motor to the oil filter and then to the oil. By moving the oil filter away from the motor you can greatly reduce heat in the oil and gain up to a quart and a half of oil capacity depending on how long your lines are. We all know what happens when an engine gets hot, it loses power and increases the potential for engine damage, and that is not good for a daily driver or a full-on race truck.
The bracket was attached with two bolts and mocked up with the oil filter screwed on for the best placement.The best place we found was near the back of the radiator on the passenger side. RJ then taped up the frame and drilled and tapped the holes to thread into the frame.RJ picked up several #10 fittings that we could use for the install. We would later return two of the straight fittings for two 90 degree AN fittings and also purchase four feet of 5⁄8-inch steel braided line.RJ has how to make lines with AN fittings down to a science, and he showed us the tools of the trade. A drop of oil, AN fitting wrench, and some soft-jaw AN holders for the vice.The AN fitting was taped and clamped into the vice. Once in the vice it was lubed in several spots and tightened down for a leakproof seal.We then placed the Hamburger's spin-on oil bypass adapter onto the engine block. It's as simple as putting on an oil filter.90 degree fittings were then threaded onto the adapter and new lines were cut to fit to join the bypass adapter and the oil filter.Check out how cool this thing looks, plus the ease of changing the oil filter without contorting your body in ways that you might twist your arm off with that 390 FE motor.One of the last items we installed was a set of Hedman Hedders Elite Ultra-Duty Hedders (PN 89810) that came ceramic coated. This coating helps keep the underhood temps down by not allowing the hot exhaust gas to raise the header material temp.

The 6 Most Ill-Conceived Weapons Ever Built
Thousands of new weapons are designed every year, and chances are most of them are profoundly stupid. That's OK, though, because there are people whose entire job is to make sure the ridiculous weapons don't get built. However, every once in a while someone manages to sneak one past the reality checkers, and right onto the production line. Weapons such as ...
#6. The Bob Semple Tank
Back in World War II, New Zealand and Australia found themselves in an awkward position: They were technically part of the British Empire -- which meant they were at war with Japan. But they were also far enough away from England that the British couldn't afford to send them any tanks. With the Japanese advancing and conquering island after island across the Pacific, New Zealand decided to take matters into its own hands and build its own damn tanks. Thus, the Bob Semple tank was born.
Via Wikipedia Commons
We've seen more menacing Micro Machines.
Besides having the least-threatening name ever bestowed upon a tank, the Bob Semple barely qualified as one. It was little more than a farm tractor -- and due to several design flaws, it was about as useful as one in a war zone.
The designers based it on an American tractor tank, but the problem was that they had no blueprints, no building materials outside those found in a farm and no idea what the hell they were doing. They literally designed the Bob Semple by looking at a postcard of the original tank. By that logic, half of us should be able to reconstruct the Eiffel Tower.
Via National Library of New Zealand
Also, apparently some of the workers were under the impression that they were building a small house.
The tank was made by placing an armored box on top of a tractor -- and by "armored" we mean "made from roofing material." Supposedly, the corrugated surface would deflect bullets by virtue of its curviness. Since they also lacked artillery in any numbers, they outfitted the Bob Semple with as many machine guns as it could hold. Six to be exact.
Unfortunately, that last part meant having to cram at least six people into that piece of junk. One of the machine gunners had to lie on a mattress in the belly of the tank, right on top of the burning hot engine. The other five had to stand on the first one's back, presumably. And then they needed someone else to drive the damn thing. According to Wikipedia, the total crew consisted of eight people.
Via armor.kiev.ua
In other words, New Zealand had all the military acumen of Hobbiton.
The Bob Semple was also extremely top heavy and slow -- it couldn't even change gears without coming to a full stop. Also, the vibrations from the tractor rumbling down the grassy plain caused the machine guns to jam, and when someone managed to squeeze off some shots, they tended to be horribly inaccurate. Though it made up for all that by looking ridiculous.
The New Zealand Army rejected the Bob Semple tank for use in their forces, and the units that had already been built were dismantled ... but not before they were paraded in the streets of New Zealand as a way to boost morale.
Via armor.kiev.ua
The Japanese canceled the invasion when they realized that the island had already been taken by their oldest, and dearest ally: ridiculous robots.
#5. The "Sticky" Grenade
This won't be our last stop in World War II on this list; that war may not have been a great time for a lot of people, but it was fantastic time for crazy weapons. With the Nazis breathing down Great Britain's neck, the British army faced a shortage of anti-tank guns. So, some creative improvisation was called for. One of the solutions for this problem was the Anti-Tank Hand Grenade #74, commonly known as "the sticky grenade."
AKA "Satan's Maraca."
While most insane weapons at least have a good idea behind them, the sticky grenade was crazy in both theory and practice. The most impressive thing about it was that it managed to get produced without anyone noticing how ridiculous it was.
The very idea of a sticky grenade sounds like something you'd find in a Wile E. Coyote cartoon: They called it "sticky" because it was literally covered in a powerful adhesive, and then encased in a metal ball that would fall apart after removing a pin. It also had a handle which, when released, would activate a five-second fuse. The way it worked is that a soldier had to sneak up on an enemy tank, stick the grenade to it, release the handle and run like hell before it exploded.
Mills Grenades
"OK, so, first you release the handle, THEN you-" -- the last words of several British soldiers
So basically, in order for it to work, the sticky grenade required a soldier to expose himself to enemy fire, run up to a tank while wielding a wad of explosive chewing gum and hope it sticks to the damn thing -- which it wouldn't if the tank was dusty or muddy. One thing it loved to stick to, however, was the soldier's uniforms. Like in this real story from British Home Guard member Bill Miles:
"It was while practicing that a Home Guard bomber got his sticky bomb stuck to his trouser leg and couldn't shift it. A quick thinking mate whipped the trousers off and got rid of them and the bomb. After the following explosion, the trousers were in a bit of a mess -- though I think they were a bit of a mess prior to the explosion."
Via Dad's Home Guard
"He pooped himself, is what I'm trying to say."
The sticky grenade was originally rejected for use by the Army, but personal intervention by Winston Churchill himself put them into production (because apparently he hated soldiers). They were mostly used by the Home Guard and the French Resistance, but they also found their way into the hands of British soldiers in North Africa, where they claimed a grand total of six German tanks and an undisclosed number of British trousers.
#4. The 18th Century Machine Gun (was Racist)
In 1718 Britain, a guy named James Puckle patented the world's first rapid fire weapon: the Defense Gun, also known as the Puckle Gun. Resembling a giant revolver on a tripod, this gun claimed to be able to fire 63 shots in seven minutes (which in modern mathematics is known as "nine shots a minute"). That may not seem like much, but when you consider that the most skilled musketeers at the time could only fire three shots a minute, it was a vast improvement.
"Kills three times as many Frenchmen!"
The official reason why the Puckle Gun never caught on with the British Army is that it had way too many cylinders -- like three or four. Clearly this was more cylinders than British gunsmiths could keep track of.
"We're soldiers, blast it, not wizards!"
And the reason why the Puckle Gun had so many cylinders, by the way, was its blatant racism. Wait, what?
You see, included in the patent for the gun was the concept of interchangeable cylinders: one shot regular musket balls meant for "civilized" people, and the other shot square bullets at Muslim Turks. Why? According to the patent, the square bullets hurt more and were meant to teach the Turks the "benefits of Christian civilization."
"A square hole in my chest! This completely changes my attitude on religion!"
There were several reasons why this was a bad idea: First of all, there's no way to test whether a square bullet hurts more than a round bullet without actually shooting one at a volunteer, and that would require finding someone who was willing to convert to Islam beforehand. Secondly, the unnecessary number of extra parts made the gun harder to manufacture, which is why it was never mass produced.
Also, this was pretty impractical for the shooters as well, since they had to make sure to change the cylinder depending on the religious convictions of the enemy in front of them -- lest they accidentally condemn a Christian to eternal damnation by killing him with a bullet meant for a Turk. The Puckle Gun was primarily intended for shipboard use -- but what if the ship should ran into a gang of multi-ethnic pirates? What then, Mr. Puckle?

Obviously you didn't think this through.


text: For this lesson I have in store for all you anime manga nuts, I will be showing you "how to draw Mokona", step by step from xxxHolic. The Mokona Modoki are rabbit like creatures that are a pair. One is white and the other is black. Even though they are almost always refereed to as Mokona, they do have their own names. The one you will be drawing today is the black Mokona, and it's name is Larg. The white Mokona is Soel, and together they are genetic copies of the original Mokona who appears in a Clamp series called 'Magic Knight Rayearth'. Larg and Soel where created by Yuko Ichihara, and Clow Reed. They are practically adorable and have the personalities of cute bunnies. Not only are these characters fun to look at, they are also very easy to draw. You could actually use this lesson to draw Mokona as a pair because all you have to do is color on another black and white. I'm not too familiar with their origins, but if your a fan of xxxHolic you should enjoy this tutorial either way. I have to bounce out of here for now because there is a cute lesson that I will be uploading next. Adios people!

I have WordPress installed in a subfolder called
news, but links to comments, posts, categories, etc all link to
domain.com/?p=99 instead of
domain.com/news/?p=99. The only link that points to the correct folder is the
edit post link.
I have set my WP folder to,
domain.com/news, and my site domain,
domain.com. I also tried deleting my
.htaccess file. Nothing has helped!
Part of the issue might step from the fact that WP used to be installed in the root folder.
Any idea what I can do? :(

Next class
The next class will be Wednesday the 6th of March at 20:00. You will need your own laptop running either OS X or Windows. Max does not currently run on Linux. If you want to make your Linux machine make funny noises, you should consider PureData. Class will be in the Turing classroom, which adjoins the Church classroom at the back of the space.
Finally, last week we broke through the fragile post-modern exoskeleton of the neo-contemporary and exploded into actualization as digi-magical Video DJays. Awesome. This week we'll take a step back and re-investigate sampling. With a firm understanding of signals, buffers and audio-rate envelopes under our belts we're finally ready to wade into the ever-turbulent waters of making sound with sound. It's an exciting time: the sonic fabric itself is about to become as clay in our hands. Buckle your clay-belts.
Is your computer currently usable? When you type the letter 'k', does the 'k' character appear on the screen? Are the images in front of you right-side up? Are your internal speakers currently silent, as opposed to emitting a deafening, 18kHz sine tone?
Don't worry, There is hope. Enter Max/MSP--the programming language of the future. Invented by the French for the purpose of challenging the dialectic between man and machine and for confusing the general public, Max makes it easy to connect input to output in a rapid, whimsical and experimental manner. Programming in Max is as simple as hooking objects together using virtual connections called patchcords. Those patchcords can carry instructions, streaming data, sound, video or just about anything else, so it's easy to use Max to explore unexpected possibilities. You want to use Max to drive LED's? Or maybe to make your face dance? Max can do basically anything. Something is a proper subset of anything. Therefore, if you want to do something, Max can probably help.
Noise~ covers the basics, from building a simple patch all the way through tackling algorithmic composition and working with live video. The first class will be targeted at total beginners and will begin at the absolute beginning: downloading Max, opening a patcher and making something happen. From there, as long as there is interest there will be classes.

So basically, I'd like to use
iwconfig to connect to my wifi network when I'm not inside X. But I just don't see a way to do it in the man page. Any idea?
So basically, I'd like to use
You need the
You put your SSID and password into
Assuming your interface is wlan0 you can connect with:
"wext" is a driver and that will be specific for each card; refer to
This link shows it all and worked fine for me: http://linux.icydog.net/wpa.php
I'm copying the contents here, so we have it, in case that site goes offline.
Command line WPA
Sometimes you'll be at a command line with no access to GUI networking tools -- but your access point is secured with WPA. What do you do?
Assuming your wireless card actually works (i.e. iwconfig can see it and interact with it), using wpa_supplicant is actually pretty simple. Installing wpa_supplicant
Most distros nowadays have wpa_supplicant installed by default. If you have the commands wpa_passphrase and wpa_supplicant available, then you're good to go. Otherwise, you will need to install the package by doing something like (for Ubuntu):
Or (for Fedora):
Or whatever the command is for your distro.
Generating the config file
Now that wpa_supplicant is installed, we will create its configuration file. Once you know the SSID and WPA passphrase, all you have to do is run:
Of course, replace "myrouter" with the SSID of your router, "mypassphrase" with your WPA passphrase, and "wpa.conf" with whatever file you want to store the configuration in. This filename does not have to follow a particular format or have a particular extension.
Alternatively, to avoid typing the passphrase on the command line (so it doesn't get saved in the shell's history), you can specify just the SSID on the command line. wpa_passphrase will wait for you to type in the passphrase followed by enter:
You should end up with a file looking like this:
Getting connected
Now we will actually run wpa_supplicant to connect to the wireless network. First, if your router broadcasts its SSID (they all do by default), you probably want to make sure your wireless card can actually see it:
You might have to run that as root to force a refresh.
Next, you will need to know three pieces of information:
Now that you have this data, run (as root):
There are no spaces between the options and parameters. Don't include the brackets as I just added those for clarity. For example, for my laptop it looks like this:
You can also run it in the background by using the -B option so that it doesn't take up your console.
Now you're associated with the network.
Getting online
To actually get online, you'll have to get an IP somehow. Most people will just want to get a dynamic IP from a DHCP server, probably the one built into the router. (I'm not going to cover setting a static IP and routing table because that's a beast in itself.)
To get a DHCP lease, first release whatever leases you're still holding onto (as root):
Then ask for a new lease (of course replacing eth1 with the name of your network device, the same one as you used in the previous section):
You now have an IP, in theory at least. Happy surfing!
First brig your card up if it's not runnig:
Set the parameters acording to your network
There's actually a way to do it using NetworkManager, if you have the
(Credit: bug 923836, which came up in my searches on the topic.)
All the answers suggesting wpa_supplicant are wrong. Yes, it may connect you to the WPA network, but that's a bad solution in the long run because it'll be very difficult to maintain and won't play nicely with a wired connection. Read this answer and make your life easier by using Network Manager from the command line. I wasted hours trying to configure wpa_supplicant, then tried nmcli and it "just worked".
I had trouble using
I was able to work around it with
I had the network set up by adding it in the wireless section of networking in the GUI, so that I could click on the wired or wireless network icon and select the wireless provider (which was sometimes necessary to complete the login).

MIF 4.0x will NOT work with Ext 4.1!
Once again, as the internals of Ext 4.1 have changed, a new version of multidom.js will be required. I have started on the port, and should be releasing an Ext 4.1 specific version shortly.
In the interim (if your needs are simple) there is a lightweight IFRAME wrapper class available in /examples/ux/Iframe.js.
Will advise once I have a well-behaved version available for 4.1."be dom-ready..."

You said that a simplified version (for simple needs) exists on /examples/ux/Iframe.js. Can you give me a link please.
Thank you.

iPad scrolling
Hi Doug,
I have an application that uses ExtJS 2.3 and managed iframe 1.2.3 (yes, I know there are way newer versions available).
On an iPad this application runs just fine except for the managed iframes that do not scroll.
While searching for advice I came across http://www.rahulsingla.com/blog/2011...o#comment-1562 which suggested the use of iscroll on the content within the iframe. I gave this a try and is doesn't quite work; I can drag the content up and the content beyond the bottom of the iframe viewport comes into view, but it springs back down after I release the content.
Do you have any suggestions as to how to either get iscroll working on the managed iframe or alternatively to say patch managed iframe with the appropriate css to allow the scrolling to work on the iPad.
The alternative will be to upgrade the application to a newer version of ExtJS and managed iframe, but I was hoping to put this off for a more convenient time.

ManagedIrame for 4.1.x
Hi Doug,
when will the new Version of ManagedIframe be released?
Waiting on the next Version which is working with 4.1.x.
Can you please give me some further informations?
Thanks a lot

Alternate extension until this one is available for 4.1
If you don't need all the fancy bells and whistles of this extension, Sencha provides a bare bones implementation of an IFrame component in their Samples ux folder called IFrame.js. It works pretty well. I have been using it ever since I upgraded my ExtJS to 4.1.

Bose's journey from Germany to Singapore by submarine was a well-remarked incident of World War II history. But what was the need for the Germans or the Italians to use a submarine to transfer a civilian? Was it impossible for them to arrange a flight? Or was it done to force Bose, whose relationship with Hitler was frosty, to make an uncomfortable and unsafe journey?
No, it wasn't possible to take a plane.
As I mentioned in the (currently accepted) answer to Which city was attacked by Nazi-German war flights in India during WW2? , the Nazis did not possess any plane capable of making a flight from German-controlled territory to India, much less Japan, without stopping for refueling, and they did not have any aircraft carriers.
Even so, airplanes in WW2 were not nearly as safe as they are today. Worse, they can be spotted, and if spotted in range of an enemy air field fairly easily taken down. This is, in fact, how the allies killed Admiral Yamamoto. So it is quite likely submarine transport would have been safer, even if air transport was an option.
In fact, the transfer to the Japanese sub occurred 10 days after Yamamoto was shot down. Its likely both Bose and the Imperial Navy wouldn't be inclined to risk another VIP that way so soon.
Bose was sent on U180, a specially built fast cargo submarine whose main role was to refuel other U-boats operating in the Indian Ocean, however its cargo also included three tons of Gold for the German Embassy in Tokyo, therefore the handover had several diplomatic aspects.
The Bormann Brotherhood, 1974 William Stevenson (former WW2 RN intelligence)
In fact Abwher parachutists were infiltrated by air into Afghanistan and these men were responsible for collecting Bose from the Khyber pass and leading him to Kabul where there was an airstrip used to repatriate him to Germany via Rhodes.
Some time later there was a flight to China made by the Italian Servizi Aerei Speciali using the SM 75 aircraft, "MM-60539." The original successful flight left via the Crimea at great peril so the second of these flights was proposed via the same airfield in Kabul.
Some Italian archives are available which detail this:
ACS, Ministero Aeronautica, Gabinetto, busta 69
Vol 9 Gabaereo to Ministero degli Affari Esterni November 13, 1942
Vol 10 Ministero dell' Aeronautica Appunto per il Duce November 13, 1942
Vol 10 Gabaereo to Stato Maggiore R.Aeronautica November 17, 1942
Vol 10 Gabaereo to Stato Maggiore R.Aeronautica December 1, 1942
There was no need to infiltrate Bose back into India as he was worth more to the Axis being sent back to Japan via the submarine base at Singapore to influence Indians in Malayan POW camps to desert and join the Axis cause

This would be a vague question, but I still want to ask here. Do you have any recommended book on complex multiplicaton. I know only 2 books: Shimura's book
Abelian Varieties with Complex Multiplication and Modular Functions and Lang's book
Complex Multiplication. Shimura's book used old-language (published in 1961), and I feel it would be nice to read this book when I have already learned complex multiplication. (But it would be great to know if there is something treated only or treated well in this book compared to other resource). There is also Milne's note.
So other than these, do you have recommended books or notes?

JOHNSON CITY, Tenn. – The Mountain States Foundation announced plans Thursday for a new capital campaign that will have a significant impact on cancer care in the Tri-Cities region. The Foundation has made a commitment to support a construction and renovation project at Johnson City Medical Center (JCMC) for the radiation oncology department.
"Most of us have been touched by cancer in some way, whether we have faced the disease ourselves or helped a loved one through the battle," said Pat Holtsclaw, president of the Mountain States Foundation. "The Foundation is proud to be supporting this project, which is so greatly needed by the folks who are facing cancer in our area."
JCMC's new radiation oncology center will be housed in the lower level of the hospital's new surgery tower, which is still under construction. The radiation oncology center will expand from 16,700 square feet to 35,700, and will go from five exam rooms to 12.
The current radiation oncology center inside JCMC was constructed in 1988. In the mid-1990s, the center saw about 12 patients per day. Today, however, the daily patient volume is close to 80, meaning that many patients must schedule their procedures early in the morning or late in the evening.
The expansion will not only provide greater convenience for patients, but improved technology as well. With funds provided by the Foundation, the hospital plans to purchase a new linear accelerator, the Varian TrueBeam radiation system. The highly focused beams from this piece of technology allow physicians to target cancer cells with pinpoint accuracy while minimizing damage to healthy tissue. This allows some patients to be treated in a shorter length of time with fewer side effects.
"JCMC and MSHA have long been the technology leader in cancer care for our region. We believe that this latest addition continues to place us in a position to provide our patients with the very best care available," said Dr. Kyle Colvett, a radiation oncologist and medical director of JCMC's radiation therapy center.
The construction and renovation project will also add a medical library for patients, a chapel, and a separate waiting area and entrance for children. The total cost of the project is $15 million, and the Foundation has committed to raising $7 million toward that goal.
"During the silent phase of our fundraising efforts, the Foundation has already raised half of our total goal," said Clarinda Jeanes, the chairperson for the campaign. "We are eager to finish the remainder of the campaign with strong support from the community so that the new linear accelerator can be installed and begin helping patients."
Several of the Foundation's public events will be dedicated to the radiation oncology campaign, including the Dragon Boat race, which is set for Saturday, Sept. 7, at Winged Deer Park in Johnson City. In early 2014, the Spirit Gala and accompanying raffle, sponsored by Champion Chevrolet, will also support the project.
"It has been an honor to be able to witness first-hand the generosity and compassion that people in our area have for those who are in need," said Jeanes. "I am excited about what the future holds for our patients."

"Italians Have Talent" constituted the entertainment when the Italian American Cultural Club held its March 11 meeting at St. Florian Hall in Wintersville.
Carm Gentile, president, presided at the meeting attended by 135 members, and Tina Piergallini, co-chaplain, opened the meeting with prayer.
Prior to the start of the meeting, Rick Pastre presented performances to the club in honor of "Italians Have Talent." Performers included Abbey Evanko, granddaughter of Jim and Barb Cerra, singing; the mother-daughter duo of Tammy and Bella Zinno, playing piano; and Rich Treglia, singing.
Meeting announcements included the postponement of the Tri-State Community Band concert until the fall; the St. Agnes CWC card party on April 21; and the Jefferson County Fourth Street Health Center gala also on April 21.
Lil Cellini reported on cards sent on the club's behalf.
In a scholarship committee report, Vince Talarico reminded members that the deadline to return applications for one of seven $1,000 Edmondo Stabene Memorial Scholarships must be postmarked on or before April 1.
Tammy Cashioli reported that registrations for Campo Italiano for children up to age 6 must be returned to the P.O. box address only by May 25. Youth leaders are needed and must have completed seventh grade. The 2012 camp involved 70 volunteers attended.
Gentile reminded members that the Italian newsletter, La Gazetta, is available to purchase for $1.
The 50/50 drawing was won by Mary Conroy with Virginia Belardine and Nial Pashke winning the drawing for a free dinner at the April meeting.

For some reason, when I make a text file on OS X, it's always at least 4kB, unless it's blank. Why is this? Could there be 4,000 bytes of metadata about 1 byte of plain text?
For some reason, when I make a text file on OS X, it's always at least 4kB, unless it's blank. Why is this? Could there be 4,000 bytes of metadata about 1 byte of plain text?
The block size of the file system must be 4 kB. When data is written to a file that is contained in a file system the operating system must allocate blocks of storage to contain the data that will be written to the file.
Typically, when a file system is created the storage contained in that file system is segmented into blocks of a fixed size. This Wikipedia article briefly explains this process.
The underlying block size of the file system for this file must have a 4K byte block size. This file is using 1 4K block and only one byte within that block contains actual data.
All file systems have a cluster or block size, or the smallest amount of disk space that can be allocated to hold a file. Even if the actual file size is smaller than the cluster/block size, it will still consume one cluster, or 4K on your file system. The cluster size depends on the file system, and the file system options.
If it contains zero bytes, as Gilles pointed out, it uses zero blocks/clusters but one inode on typical *nix file systems, which better answers the caveat, "unless it's blank."
An little experiment to help illustrate this:
First, let's see what the actual block size of my root ext4 (LVM) partition is:
It is 4096 (4 KiB), as expected. Now, let's create three files: The first is zero bytes, the second is just one byte, and the third is 4 KiB (the block size):
Two things can be noted here:

ColdFusion - Application Instantiated, API Caching Stack
Hey all. This is a bit of a continuation on Aaron Conran's DirectCFM stack. The original stack is located here: http://www.extjs.com/forum/showthrea...411#post327411
Added features to the original include:
- The ability for the 'Direct' CFC (I called it 'ExtDirect') to be instantiated into the application scope. Upon its instantiation, it runs its CFC introspection routine, and caches the built API script for all subsequent requests for the API.
- The ability to use CFC's in sub directories for Ext.Direct.
- The ability for Ext.Direct requests to invoke methods on application instantiated CFC instances (if they exist), instead of creating a new instance each time.
This is an automatic CFC searching implementation, which will recursively search for, and include all of your CFC's with the extDirect="true" attribute in the <cfcomponent> tag, from a configured directory (such as your webroot, or a 'components' folder). It will also only include methods to be used with Ext.Direct that have the extDirect="true" attribute in the <cffunction> tag.
Quick Start:
1) Unzip the 3 files into a directory in your in webroot named 'extDirect'.
2) Add the initialization code into your onApplicationStart() method of your Application.cfc file, with whichever configuration arguments that you would like to customize. All arguments have defaults, and they are shown in the full configuration below:
<cffunction name="onApplicationStart" output="no"> <cfset application.ExtDirect = createObject( 'component', 'extDirect.ExtDirect' ).init( namespace = 'Ext.ss', apiDesc = 'APIDesc', routerURL = '/extDirect/router.cfm', componentDir = '/', <!--- No trailing slash on any non-webroot directory here. ---> providerType = 'remoting', useApplicationScope = true, ignoreCFCParsingErrors = true )> </cffunction>
<cffunction name="onApplicationStart" output="no"> <cfset application.ExtDirect = createObject( 'component', 'extDirect.ExtDirect' ).init()> </cffunction>
3) Add the extDirect="true" attribute to all components / methods that you want to be used with Ext.Direct. Note that the component tag itself must have extDirect="true" for any methods to be checked and included. Ex:
<cfcomponent name="Echo" extDirect="true"> <cffunction name="send" extDirect="true"> <cfargument name="data" required="true"> <cfreturn data /> </cffunction> </cfcomponent>
<script type="text/javascript" src="/extDirect/api.cfm"></script> <script type="text/javascript"> Ext.Direct.addProvider( Ext.ss.APIDesc ); </script>Code:
Ext.ss.Echo.send( 'sample', function() { // callback here... } );
- Unfortunately, all CFC's to be used for Ext.Direct must have a unique name. This is because there are no metaData properties in the Ext.Direct specification, where a directory could be stored.
So, if you have a component 'com.users.UserManager', you can not also use a component 'com.mySystem.UserManager', as there will be no way to distinguish between the two. Whichever 'UserManager' is found second during the original introspection routine will be the one that is used for Ext.Direct requests.
Other Notes:
- If useApplicationScope = true (the default), the application scope will be checked for an instance of the component by its name, regardless of the directory that the component may be in. So for example, if you wanted to use the component 'com.users.UserManager' which is instantiated in the application scope, it must be instantiated as application.UserManager for it to be used. Otherwise, a new instance of 'com.users.UserManager' will be created, and the requested method will be invoked on that. If you do something different with how you store your singleton beans in the application scope, you'll have to edit the code (it's near the bottom of ExtDirect.cfc, with the cfinvoke tags).
- Because during development, you're probably going to want to "refresh" the API at certain times, you're going to need to re-run the onApplicationStart() method in your Application.cfc file. I recommend adding this code to onRequestStart() so you can simply add a URL variable into the location bar whenever you want to refresh the API. Ex:
<cffunction name="onRequestStart"> <cfargument name="targetPage" type="string" required="yes"> <!--- Reload the application if the reloadApp URL parameter is present ---> <cfif structKeyExists( url, 'reloadApp' )> <cflock scope="application" type="exclusive" timeout="30"> <cfset onApplicationStart()> </cflock> </cfif> </cffunction>
- Depending on the number of directories in your site, and the number of CFC's that you have, the initialization routine may take a few seconds. This performance penalty is only for the application initialization request however, and all subsequent requests will not experience this delay.
Any questions / comments / suggestions, leave a reply, and happy coding!

Hey Greg,
I played with Jim's 0.9 version and came up with some ideas/changes. I did not know of this post (I wish forums had the ability to merge threads or relate them) I posted my version last night here http://www.extjs.com/forum/showthrea...236#post451236
Does version 0.9 posted in that thread include the changes you are referring to here?
28 Mar 2010 10:08 AM #3
Hey Jose. My version is basically an extension of Aaron's original cfm stack that comes in the downloadable Ext.Direct pack. It's pretty much a simple CFC searching implementation, whereas Jim kinda took a different approach with adding a control panel-like implementation to allow you to specify which CFC's and methods will be used for Ext.Direct. Jim did a great job with his, but I prefer the simplicity of just adding extDirect="true" to my CFC methods
But sorry dude, my stack is completely different from his, you'll have to ask him about the changes you are referring to. Good luck!

I downloaded your templates and I see what you mean.
Thanks for responding.

Does it come with a Han Solo encased in carbonite in the background?
Still flying.
This was a buck fifty cheaper back in November. May want to wait.
Now up to $21.48. Was $17.98 yesterday. It's a trap!!
got it for $18.49 in November.
check out the item's price history on Amazon here: http://camelcamelcamel.com/Firefly-The-Complete-Series-Blu-ray/product/B001EN71CW You can even set a price watch for yourself, so you'll get an email when the item hits a certain price.
(I feel like that was totally commercial, but I'm just a super happy user of CCC, so take it as you will ;)
@smtatertot13: Thanks for putting this link up. I was wondering if there was a site like this.
I'm reading $21.48 at 10:13pm cdt... but hey, "still flying" =) [edit: I see spockzombie got the correction. that is what I get for shopping in the middle of laundry]
For those who may wonder... if you already have it on DVD, I wouldn't recommend buying it on BluRay. There's not much difference between an up-rez'ed DVD (which your blu ray player will do) and the BluRay transfer.
I'm willing to buy the entire series for the episode with Early in it. Does that seem right to you?
Doesn't anybody care that I'm pointing a finely crafted gun at this boy's head?!
Doesn't every person who slurps this show and complains about it's cancellation already have this?
Just finished watching all 14 episodes and the end Movie to wrap it up after they cut this awesome show off way to soon and left everyone hanging. Serenity.
Been On Net Flix for a really long time and will probably be there forever.
Can't stop the signal.
Invisible Hand found it for $18.85.
curse your sudden but inevitable betrayal
@spockzombie: lol, NOW it's $20.98 @ 3:31am this is some volatile product price wise.
I got this from Amazon - disc 3 would not load (some kind of 'Region' error).
Exchanged it for another - guess what - same problem. If you get this, try loading disc 3 right away (if you get to menu, it's OK - no need to watch last episodes first).
I've been noticing the bluray box sets in general gradually drop in price throughout the day, and then go back up in the evening. Since it can be seen on Prime and Netflix for free, I'm waiting for it to drop under $10 before I purchase, and that's only to show support for the show's return. Stay shiny.
BTW, now $17.98 as of 645 am CST.
These constant price shifts are part of why I down-vote all Amazon entries. That and the fact that what they post is more like "hey, we own this place and we can put anything we want here whether it's woot-worthy or not".
@vipermjb: No, well yes and no. I never heard of Firefly or Serinity until Woot. I bought this exact set from Best Buy for $9.99 about 6 months ago off a deal listed here and I'm completely hooked. There are a lot of things on here that I've never heard of and now enjoy.
@ryantg: you do know that a vast majority of deals posted here are posted by users like you, and voted on by users like you....right?
only deals posted by user names with the staff badge (little orange box thing) by their name are posted by staff. and from my recollection, they aren't often from Amazon, actually.
@ryantg As smtatertot13 said. I posted this and Im no way affiliated with Amazon except for having a regular prime account. All Firefly stuff is always woot worthly. As for the price shifts.. Its gone up about $1.50 and its gone down about $1.50. Either way this is still a good deal for those who do not own this series in bluray.

Lunch at Live Bait in Cape Town
I don't often experience the sensual seafood tastes of a restaurant in Cape Town, so naturally I jumped at the opportunity to review the impressive menu at Live Bait in Kalk Bay on Saturday 27 April, 2013.
With its spectacular views of Kalk Bay Harbour (one of its walls is actually the breakwater of the harbour) and the Atlantic Ocean, this seaside eatery is the perfect lunch spot. Patrons lucky enough to get a table at the floor-to-ceiling windows facing the ocean will spot a seal or two frolicking in the waves.
A part of the Harbour House Group, Live Bait has been running for 13 years and will now introduce a winter menu, from May to August 2013, which changes on a monthly basis.
Spoilt for choice between skillfully prepared sushi and fresh oysters for starters, my partner and I took both!
This month's must-buy special is without a doubt the Seafood Selection for two. At just R320 this smorgasbord of marine cuisine, loaded with softly-cooked crayfish, prawns, mussels, calamari tubes and the special fish of the day (on the day we were there, it was angelfish), is well worth the price.
A wine list worthy of any connoisseur's scrutiny, featuring the likes of Buitenverwachting Buiten Blanc and Haute Cabriere Chardonnay Pinot Noir, is a wonderful accompaniment to the mouth-watering menu.
No meal at Live Bait is complete without dessert, so do not leave without trying the superb and decadent dark chocolate terrine (layers of dark chocolate mousse, meringue and soft almond biscuit, served with fudge sauce).
I like to test what restaurants do with what we plebs would consider the mundane vanilla ice-cream and hot chocolate sauce offering and thankfully, Live Bait knows a thing or two about how to impress their patrons … simply put, presentation is everything, darling!
I chatted to Desiree van der Merwe, manager of Live Bait, to discover what's on offer at this fine establishment and just why she loves Cape Town:
Live Bait in Kalk Bay is open for lunch and dinner, Monday to Sunday from 12h00 to 22h00. For more information, please visit www.harbourhouse.co.za/livebait or call +27 (0)21 788 5755.

Prototypes of Jesus can be thought of as falling into the following categories:
In all of these things, Jesus is said to be the one prefigured, because the book is about Him. Scholars disagree over the exact numbers of references, but most agree that Jesus is prefigured in every book of the Old Testament. (The more liberal ones would say that there are symbols to which Jesu appropriates or s at least alludes when he comes.) To list them all, however, would be a book.
One final little allusion, however, that bears some consideration, is the story commonly called "the Transfiguration." Jesus goes up to a mountaintop, whereupon Elijah and Moses greet him. Now, you should know that Jews refer to the Old Testament in two categories - "the Law" and "the Prophets." Moses, as the "lawgiver" who brings the 10 commandments off of Mount Sinai. Elijah was the most famous of the prophets, working miracles and boldly declaring God's truth to a wicked King. In standing between and amongst these two, Jesus himself declares himself to be "the Law and the Prophets," a nice little picture saying that indeed, Jesus is the Word this Old Testament has been preaching all along.
The entirety of the Old Testament predicts, foreshadows, or reveals Jesus in some way. I've heard it said, "The New [Testament] is in the Old, concealed; the Old is in the New, revealed."
There's actually a really cool song that goes through all of the books of the Bible, telling how Jesus is revealed in each. (I have to admit, though, I've never tried to answer a question with a song before.)
They lyrics to that song are as follows:
There are several places on the web that summarize this. Here's one of them:
I realize that long quotes from other places are not typically accepted here. It just seems that these answered the question all too well.
The most profound types in the Old Testament are the ones alluded to on Easter Vigil Mass and read in the daily office during the season of Lent (which is heavy on the Suffering Servant, which you mentioned).
The 3 day journey to Moriah, the ram with it's head stuck in a thicket, God demanding the sacrifice of Abraham's only son, are all indicative of Christ's sacrifice
The three items represent Jesus as priest (the Rod representing the Aaron's priesthood), prophet (the bread which comes from Heaven to feed God's people) and king (the tablets indicative of a Law Giver)
Also, the sacrifice of Melchizedek in Genesis is stated in as a type for Christ in Hebrews 7:1
But, the @Narinan is the most correct in that long litany of where Christ is in the OT, because the entire New Testament is a fulfillment of the Old in Christ. If you liked that list, you might also be interested in this one from some English Monks it has a few more books in it :)
