Database Listener
I am developing an application that communicates with Microsoft Kinect. It is geared entirely towards desktop deployment, this is not meant to run on mobile platforms. I have Kinect overwriting a value in a MySQL database when it detects certain movements. Does anyone know of any way to have Sencha Touch (1.1) listen for these database events and run a function depending on the number it reads from the database. Thanks in advance for your time!

Area college baseball: Upstate downs Gardner-Webb
Published: Wednesday, April 24, 2013 at 3:15 a.m.
Last Modified: Thursday, April 25, 2013 at 12:58 a.m.
USC Upstate (24-19) used a trio of three-run innings Wednesday to come from behind and pick up a 9-2 victory over visiting Gardner-Webb (21-20-1).
Luke Weber recorded his third three-hit game of the year in the win, while Brody Greer not only extended his hitting streak to 12 games, but tallied his 14th multi-hit game of the year with his 2-for-5 performance at the dish.
Chris Cox (4-3) produced his second consecutive quality start, lasting six innings and allowing just six hits and two unearned runs. He added six strikeouts and finished two pitches shy of the century mark.
UNC Asheville 8, Wofford 7: In Asheville, N.C., Wofford rallied in the ninth but was defeated by UNC Asheville.
Wofford is now 16-27 on the season and UNC Asheville is 14-29. The Terriers were led by James Plaisted with two hits and two RBIs, while Matt Ramsay added two RBIs. The Bulldogs had three hits and two RBIs by Ian Graham.
Wofford starter Connell Anderson (0-3) threw 3 2/3 innings and allowed five runs, two of which were unearned, along with two strikeouts.
Clemson 12, Western Carolina 1: In Clemson, Clemson totaled a season-high 17 hits in its win over Western Carolina. The Tigers improved to 28-13 on the season, while Western Carolina fell to 27-17.
Freshman lefthander Zack Erwin (3-0) earned the win in his first career start. In five innings pitched, he yielded four hits, one run, and one walk with four strikeouts.
Garrett Boulware led the Tigers, going 3-for-4 with four RBIs.

This page only describes employee entitlements under the state Family Care Act. For help with leave planning and other important information see:
The state Family Care Act (FCA) provides leave use entitlements to employees who accrue paid sick leave. These entitlements and eligibility requirements are described in the table below.
The FCA has its own definition of "family member". For purposes of the FCA the University has adopted a common definition for "family member" that is more inclusive. The University's definition is as follows:
Family member means the employee's spouse or same or opposite sex domestic partner, child, parent, grandparent, grandchild, sister, or brother. Family member also means individuals in the following relationships with the employee's spouse or domestic partner: child, parent, or grandparent. It also includes those persons in a step relationship.
|Family Care Act
All workers in the state of Washington who accrue and are eligible to use paid sick leave are covered by the FCA. There is no minimum service requirement.
|Employee Leave Entitlements
If an employee accrues sick leave or other paid leave (including donated shared leave, where eligible), he or she is entitled to use any or all of the employee's choice of earned sick leave or other paid time off to:
|Employee Notice and Certification Requirements
|In accordance with employer policy.
|Use of Paid Leave
|The FCA only applies to the employee's eligible paid leave
|Intermittent Leave or Working a Reduced Schedule
Taking leave intermittently is not a direct entitlement, but the ability to do so is implied by the entitlement to use "any or all of the employee's choice of sick leave or other paid time off."
|Unpaid Leave
The FCA only specifies how employees may use existing paid leave, it does not provide additional paid or unpaid leave.
|Benefits Entitlements
The FCA does not include any specific benefits entitlements. However, employees continue to receive UW paid benefits in a month while on paid leave for at least eight (8) hours during the month.
|Return to Work Rights
Under the FCA there are no specific return to work provisions. However, because the law prohibits retaliation for use of family care leave, a supervisor should discuss with the unit's Human Resources Consultant any plans to reassign an employee returning from family care leave to a different position.

Can a column display a graphic?
Is it possible for acolumn to display a graphic? Either static, or based on the value in the cell?
20 Sep 2006 12:37 PM #2
Yes, using a renderer function.
function renderImage(value, rowIndex, colIndex){ return '[img]myimage.gif[/img]'; } // then in your column model definition: var myColumns = [ {header: "Icon", width: 20, renderer: renderImage}, ... ];
21 Sep 2006 11:28 PM #3
Re: Can a column display a graphic?
Can somebody explain the second part of the question "based on the value in the cell". How do i update only one row's image cell based on the value in other (assuming that the value is editable)?

But when i tried doing
var otherValue = dataModel.getValueAt(rowIndex, 1);
it flags an error as to
this.data[rowIndex] is not a valid property ( for yui-ext.js file)
22 Sep 2006 10:59 AM #6
The rowIndex, colIndex parameters appear to be additions in the new version. I thought they were present in the old version but they are not.
The version will be out on Monday and has these parameters.

The older I get the harder it seems to experience something novel. At 38 I feel as though I've eaten most of the low lying fruit. I have some ideas such as skydiving, or bungee, or taking a sabbatical and going travelling. I want good stories to tell the grandchildren when they arrive.
But I have several hurdles that seem to stop me doing these things:
- I talk myself out of them because they're out of my comfort zone.
- I need to earn a living, so taking large amounts of time out seems impossible.
- I have too many ideas and can't seem to settle on anything specific.
- I'm not naturally a risk taker.
What can I do?

As anyone this side of the Hall of Justice will tell you, the first sign of megavillainy is declaring that everyone else in the world is wrong and you're right. We've found seven people with the ego, the balls and the terrifying machinery to shout, "Everyone in the world was boning wrong before I came along!"
P.S. -- The second sign of megavillainy is applying for a patent to prove it.
#7. The Transparent Crotch
This looks understandable, though tragic.
Hey guys, how many times has this happened to you? You're having sex with a real woman, and you can't see what's going on inside her v-hole? THAT'S THE WORST, RIGHT? It sure was to Ken E. Wong, and he decided to do something about it. By inventing a transparent cock sock.
Now at first, this just appears to be a Fleshlight, the tube-shaped masturbation aid some of you may own at this very moment. He describes it as a "liquid-filled sheath" for "human males who, for whatever reason, desire to experience the simulated sensations of sexual intercourse without the benefit of a female partner." We particularly like the "for whatever reason," as though there are any number of not-sad explanations you'd own one of these, and not just "lack of willing female partner and /or excess of restraining orders."
"With my busy schedule of masturbating and crying while masturbating, I haven't had time to meet Mrs. Right."
But the real crazy hits the fan when this player spent hundreds of words complaining about how every other vaginal replacement product hid his glorious penis from him during intercourse. As if seeing his penis in action was the whole point of sex altogether. That's why he built this: Unless he hooks up with one of the aliens from The Abyss or Sue Storm, he's completely given up on finding his perfect woman. Because their stupid vaginas keeping hiding his glorious manhood.
#6. Sex Bong
First, Sex Bong is a great name for a band, and we're claiming it. Second, we wish that was all it was.
"Method of using a water pipe" is a pretty coy description from someone installing weed paraphernalia into a woman's baby-maker. The sex bong uses the vagina as a water reservoir for a bong, while the smoker "provides stimulating bubbles." Because apparently this guy thought if his mouth was sucking in illegal substances, it might as well be providing someone with an orgasm at the same time.
"You know what'd go really well with this? Vagina."
For anyone who's ever actually been a woman, or had an orgasm, this idea is more terrible than using tectonic drift as an egg timer. Actually it's twice as bad as that since the tempo is wrong twice. First, they're called bong rips for a reason. The best way to take them has more in common with band aid removal than it does with the slow and steady tempo of good sex. On the off chance that this experience does get her in the mood, the bong user is going to be more interesting in relaxing, and watching Lord of the Rings on Blu-Ray. If anyone manages to have sex after using this thing, it's going to be the sexual equivalent of the Flash arguing with a giant redwood. Which we're fairly sure happened in a comic once and are absolutely sure didn't involve crotches.
Or at least no more than spandex costumes normally do.
#5. Masturbation-Powered Motion Controller
For anyone who's ever longed for a jerking-activated PowerPoint presentation of porn, we have your patent. It works like this: You put the jerking glove on, then sensors register your, umm, jerkingness, and respond to your arousal by putting appropriate images on your computer screen. This man uses more science to put porn on his monitor than NASA used to put man on the moon. Behold:
And by the way, in order to get that whole "sensing how stimulated you are" bit just right, he's got rubber and metal rings on the jerking hand. And apparently has no problem with that. It's like he doesn't even understand how masturbation works. He's either Hellraiser or a T-1000 who's forgotten his programming -- those of us with non-metallic/masochistic genitals aren't excited by electrically power-sanding them.
We're not sure what this is, but it looks very painful.
The rest of the patent reads like Lieutenant Commander Data just discovered his own crotch and spent the rest of his life wiring it to things. High technology and gratuitous self-manipulation haven't been so blatantly combined since Evangelion.
Every person involved in this show did his job one-handed.
#4. Budget Vagina Dentata Cleaner/Exciter
Patent # US 20070244418A1
This is exactly what it looks like: a product that converts a woman's toothbrush into a vibrator.
Stuart Harkness' electric toothbrush conversion kit has a target market of less than zero. It's like releasing a Pokemon-brand condom: Nobody wants to use it, or if they do, they certainly shouldn't be allowed to. Anyone OK with combining crotch and dental care is probably growing enough cultures in both regions that this will act as a shuttle bus between the two civilizations.
"You guys hear? The Lion King is playing in Taint tonight."
The crazy thing doesn't even fit over regular electric toothbrushes -- it requires users to buy his special Swiss Army Orifice toothbrush, which can be connected not only to a brush but also to various terrifying drills. Apparently, Harkness thinks the birth canal is part of a Constructo set. He'll probably include a bidet hose and colonoscopy probe as soon as he finds out girls have that hole, too. This is something a nine-year-old boy would invent before working out he was gay, and even then it wouldn't matter because he was going to stay a virgin anyway.

The answer is $$x-\frac{ 1}{2}\frac{ x^3}{3}+\frac{ 1\cdot 3}{2\cdot 4}\frac{ x^5}{5}-\frac{ 1\cdot 3\cdot 5}{2\cdot 4\cdot 6}\frac{ x^7}{7}+\cdots$$ But I can't see how. Unfortunately, "how" can't be using Taylor's formula, because that isn't introduced until the next section. (Simmons' Calculus)
The hint given with the problem is to integrate another series. This series must be $$1-\frac{ 1}{2} x^2+\frac{ 1\cdot 3}{2\cdot 4} x^4-\frac{ 1\cdot 3\cdot 5}{2\cdot 4\cdot 6} x^6+\cdots$$
But where does it come from?
[How would I know to integrate that series, if it weren't for the hint?]
The derivative of $\ln(x+\sqrt{1+x^2})$ is $\displaystyle \frac{ 1}{\sqrt{1+x^2}}$,
but I can't see how to get from $\displaystyle \frac{ 1}{\sqrt{1+x^2}}$ to that series.
The derivative can be written as $\displaystyle \frac{ 1}{x+\sqrt{1+x^2}}\left(1+\frac{x}{\sqrt{1+x^2}}\right)$, but that looks even worse.

In relation to this question about the "fundamental" character of possible logical systems, I realized that I just had an intuitive (and so, inadequate) understanding of the way logics higher than FOL can unambiguously specify the kind of semantics which make up the intended interpretation of their formalisms, inside the formalisms themselves. This is quite a meaningful question, since the ability of an automated system of reasoning at the object-language level can only recognize what is coded in the formalism itself, at that level; and so, those approaches which start from the construction of a model at the meta-level, are a priori ruled out in the sense I'm describing here.
What I'm thinking about are computer systems reasoning with the logic, such as the HOL-based proof assistants, as Isabelle.
So, how are the intended semantics of SOL and HOL specified in a computer system?
P.S. : I have realized that this topic isn't actually new in this site, and has been brought up in other questions like this one.

Known for its simple, clear sound and smooth nylon strings, the classical guitar has been enjoyed by musicians for centuries. Whether you're just starting down the road to making music or are already an accomplished guitarist, there is definitely room in your repertoire for this amazing instrument. The classical and nylon guitar brings every musician back to the basics with its six-stringed design and hollow-bodied wooden construction. Like modern acoustic guitars, the sound of the plucked string is amplified by the soundboard and vibrates through the body. What makes the classical style different is that all six strings are made from nylon or metal-wrapped nylon. Because the strings are made from this material and are strung at a lower tension than their steel counterparts, the neck of the guitar can be made entirely of wood and the interior bracing can be lighter.
The classical guitar is a great option for musicians that are just starting out. For small hands, a full-sized guitar can sometimes be too much. There are classroom guitars and models that come in 1/2 sizes to easily accommodate students. The 3/4 and 7/8 sizes are best suited towards older children and adults with a smaller build or frame. If you're looking to amplify your sound, consider choosing an acoustic-electric model. These guitars have built in pick-ups so you can easily plug into an amplifier. This amplification option lets you maintain the signature sound of the classic guitar while performing at larger venues and more open spaces. An acoustic-electric classical guitar is also right at home in the recording studio since it can be plugged directly into a mixer without the added hassle of finding a microphone. From the 1700's through to today, musicians have been playing nylon-stringed guitars both on the stage and in their everyday practises. Now that you've made the decision to learn the six-string, take some time to look into the options available for the classical and nylon guitar. With the right instrument, strumming your favorite songs will become second nature sooner than you ever would've thought possible.

(Riyadh, Saudi Arabia) -- Saudi Arabia's Interior Minister, Prince Naif
bin Abdul Aziz, called on the international community to increase cooperation and coordination to fight global terrorism.
Global terrorism networks, such as Al-Qaeda, have diffuse operations that weave through many countries. Their tactics and methods of operation have the ability to elude conventional law enforcement efforts. And, as the strategies of terrorist groups continue to shift, new and more sophisticated efforts must be put in place to combat them.
"We have always warned of the dangers of terrorism and its impact on the security and safety of the people. And we have repeatedly called for more cooperation among countries to combat this phenomenon, which does not have a religion or a nationality or a time or a place."
Saudi Arabia was a principal architect of the 1998 agreement among Arab countries to establish regional counter-terrorism cooperation. It has also been a leader in joint counter-terrorism agreements established through the United Nations and through the G-8 countries.
Since September 11, 2001, Saudi Arabia has detained more than 300 suspects and sent 90 to trial. In addition, arrests of a number of major Al-Qaeda leaders were accomplished as a result of Saudi cooperation.
This week, Saudi Arabia foiled the plans of a group of terrorists. Saudi law-enforcement officials captured over 800 pounds of high explosives, 55 hand-grenades, and 2,545 bullets of different calibers, as well as cash and various disguises. An intensive manhunt is currently underway to apprehend 19 individuals involved in this plot.
According to Prince Naif, those who terrorize and kill innocent people in the name of Islam are the ones who are farthest from the practice of Islam.

Do I need to have Photoshop installed to work with Lightroom? Or is Lightroom totally independent of Photoshop? Thank you.
Lightroom is an independent product with a different purpose. Lightroom is a non-destructive digital darkroom product for making limited changes to images coming from a camera. It is particularly good at working with RAW files and has built in RAW handling. Since it is non-destructive, it does not save the image with changes applied, but rather saves a list of changes that need to be applied to an image.
While it supports integration with Photoshop (if you have Photoshop) so that you can do more advanced work either with the Lightroom image being used as a Smart Object, or by rasterizing (making the changes from Lightroom permanent on a copy) the image. It is not necessary to have Photoshop unless you want to use that integration.
Lightroom is also perfectly capable of exporting the images with adjustments applied permanently as a final output from Lightroom.
Lightroom is totally independent. I have Lightroom 4 and do not have Photoshop. I am happy. I need typical photo tweaks, fix a blemish, tweak saturation, etc. I dont need the power that Photoshop has.
No,Lightroom totally independent of Photoshop.

Kick-Start Summer Learning: 5 Motivation Strategies for Kids with LDby FE Staff
Having trouble getting your child with learning difficulties excited about summer learning? Here are some motivation strategies from psychology expert Jerome J. Schultz, Ph.D., that will encourage your child to dive right in to summer learning activities — and go the extra mile.
1 of 6
Be a Star
Make a scrapbook that contains pictures of your child doing summer learning activities. Include samples that show his progress. Your child can share this book with others — especially his new teacher when school starts in the fall.
You could also create a blog where your child can discuss and display his summer learning (articles, pictures, books read, etc.). Family members or teachers can visit the Web page, praising your child's work from a distance and keeping the energy flowing.
Kids' artwork or writing can even be submitted to LD Online to be featured on the website, which makes kids feel great.

Can anyone give a simple example of a sequence that converges, but there's no computable function that gives $N$ as a function of $\epsilon$, i.e., the modulus of convergence is not computable?
In the literature, all I could find were aesthetically unpleasant examples of Specker sequences.
I hope that relaxing the requirements of the sequence itself being computable and it's limit not is enough to get simpler examples. Unfortunately, the examples that I've been able to come up with myself are worse than the literature.
And what if we still require the sequence itself to be computable? Is there still so easy an example?

GREENSBORO, N.C. - Dylan Price started his last day on earth by getting up early to go volunteer at a soup kitchen. He was fighting a battle inside his body, but he didn't talk much about that. Instead, his friends and loved ones say Dylan was all about making other people feel comfortable and loved.
"I'm going to miss everything. We just had a really deep connection. He was my best friend," Olivia Ingram, Dylan's girlfriend, said. "He taught me how to appreciate my life and how fortunate I am."
Ingram says he changed her life forever. Dylan encouraged her to do new things, to strengthen her faith and to be grateful for every moment. Over the past few months, Oliva and Dylan have been inseparable. They spent their last morning together volunteering at Urban Ministry.
Thursday morning, a few friends gathered at Westminster Presbyterian Church to pray for Dylan.
"He taught me to live life to the fullest and live each day. No matter what you are going through or what you're experiencing, you can get through it. He really strengthened my relationship with the Lord," Hannah Henry, Dylan's friend, said.
Pastor Mark Brainerd added, "He took a friend to a bookstore yesterday and bought a bible and shared God's word with this young friend. He was always making himself available to be used by God."
Dylan's friend Claire Harris said, "It's amazing how much courage he has and how much faith he has in God and how much he can do for other people and how much of an inspiration he is to everyone around him."
Natalie Harrah, another friend, added, "He is just such a loving person and wants everyone to feel welcome in this world. He just wants everyone to be loved. That's what his main goal is in life."
This artwork Dylan painted hangs inside the church and will always serve as a reminder of the legacy he leaves behind. Saying good-bye to someone so young isn't easy, but those who knew him best say Dylan lived a fuller life than many adults.
"I love him to the moon and back," Ingram said.
A memorial service will be held Monday for Dylan at Westminister Presbyterian Church at 3 pm.

I've just completed the main storyline for GTA Chinatown Wars on my iPhone and I am currently sitting around 60% complete.
Is there anywhere I can find a list of things that I need to do to complete the game?
I understand this would mean finding all the dealers, completing all the minigames etc., but I would like a complete list.

Is it possible to let users add some valueable code to a section specified by a tag?
So if a user with the aid of other users develop some interesting code to do something, when people look for code snippets they should search this first.
Interesting idea.. I think the snippets should be editable by high-rep users, like questions are.
It could also implement this.
Interesting. Who defines it as interesting? How do you reckon is the best way to narrow down to what you want? Maybe we could have a contextual search engine that knew how to narrow down the results based on language and context? If only Google solved that very problem ...
Since I apparently need to back this up with SEI quotes and links, here's some to entertain you:
From Area51: (any site statistics screen for a beta)
Seriously, SEI is all about SEO and having Google et al link back into the SE2.0 architecture to do the cataloging and searching for them. I don't understand what this proposal brings to the table that Google et al do not.

Click on the red titles in each category
Free or Sliding Scale Clinics - check out all sites because they have different sources. You may find different ones on different sites.
Unite For Sight, Inc. - Free Clinics: Community Based Clinics
Just type your state in and receive a listing of the facilities in your area. I tested this with my area and the information was correct and timely.
Free / Low-Cost Health Clinic Finder -.PPAP
This is a service of the Partnership Prescription Assistance Program. You type in your zip code and a list of clinics in your area is given.
http://www.ihs.gov/index.cfm and
Medical and health Assistance for Native Americans and Alaskan Citizens. The second link is a quick-guide for Diabetes care.
Hill-Burton Free and Reduced-Cost Health Care
In 1946, Congress passed a law that gave hospitals, nursing homes and other health facilities grants and loans for construction and modernization. In return, they agreed to provide a reasonable volume of services to persons unable to pay and to make their services available to all persons residing in the facility's area. The program stopped providing funds in 1997, but about 200 health care facilities nationwide are still obligated to provide free or reduced-cost care.
Health Insurance Assistance
Pre-Existing Condition Insurance Plan
This program is meant to provide people who have a pre-existing condition with comprehensive health coverage at the same price healthy people pay while receiving benefits at any qualified provider of their choice. It was designed as a bridge until the new insurance rules go into effect in 2014, when all Americans will have access to health insurance. Currently, 27 states administer their own plans for their residents while 23 plans are administered by the federal government. Thus, no matter which state in which you reside, there is an option.
CCF - Center for Children and Families
This is the main site which explains the various programs. These programs are by state with different qualification for different states.
Most states cover both children and pregnant women and many cover families meeting the income criteria.
Medicaid and the Children's Health Insurance Program (CHIP)
This is a list of qualification by state.
Help With Medications, Testing Supplies and Insulin
Partnership for Prescription Assistance
This is a non-profit clearing house founded by Montel Williams which assists in finding resources for the uninsured and those below certain income levels. They have an 800 number where you can speak to a counselor who will help you to get in touch with various programs.
This is a 501(c)(3) non-profit information resource which helps people in need find assistance programs to help them afford their medications and costs related to health care. It's similar to the Partnership for Prescription Assistance Program above.
Test Strips:
Abbott Freestyle Promise Program - you can also get a free meter and test strips for as low as $15.00 a month for 100 strips, at least that's what they claim.
Bayer SimpleWins Patient Assist. Prg - Bayer Contour meters and strips and other Bayer products.
Accu-chek Aviva Discount Program
This is for the Accu-Chek Aviva meter only. You must have a prescription for the strips as far as I know. The discount card comes in the box when you buy the meter. You can activate it on-line. Here's a claim from the site:
About the ACCU-CHEK Connect prescription discount card
The discount will be automatically applied each time you use your ACCU-CHEK Connect prescription discount card with a valid prescription. The card ensures you'll pay no more than $15 on every test strip prescription.*
*Limitations apply. Maximum discount up to $50 per prescription after primary insurance and $15 patient payment. Not valid for ACCU-CHEK Comfort Curve or ACCU-CHEK Active test strips. Not valid for prescriptions paid by Medicare, Medicaid or other government programs, or where prohibited by law. Cash-paying customers may also be eligible. See reverse side of card for complete program details. I called them and they said for cash payments the discount is $20.00 for 50 strips and $40.00 for 100.
They also said the discount works for the Compact meter as well.
Here's some other resources on line for the Accu-Chek (remember you have to buy the meter to get the card)
AC meter and strips at Amazon
Amazon mail order
I think the draw back with buying strips from Amazon might be that you have to have a prescription filled to get the discount. But you can still buy the meter that comes with a few strips there to get the discount card.
Lower Cost Generic Store Brand testing supplies
- most of these can be bought over the counter without a prescription.
Truetest meters and strips
These are available in stores such as RiteAid, CVS, Target, and Walgreens as well as online from different sources.
Prices vary widely, for instance Amazon has 100 strips for $39. which works out to 40 cents each RiteAid has 100 for $69. RiteAid and different retail stores frequently run sales though.
From my observation the best prices are on-line. Using a search engine such as "The Find" you can get multiple listings and see prices. BE CAREFUL when you buy from on-line sources. In some cases the strips are close to the expiration date. Make sure you choose a reputable site which may not be the cheapest one. Also, shipping should be factored into the price, try to get free shipping whenever possible
TrueTest Strips on TheFind.
WalMart testing supplies - see separate Walmart entry below.
Insulin Pumps and Supplies:
Free insulin pumps and pump supplies
If your doctor has recommended an insulin pump but you cannot afford one, start by calling the pump company on this link. Most have some sort of assistance program or they may be able to direct you to other support organizations. Pump companies may even offer you a contracted or reduced rate if you plead your case. Even if they cannot offer you any financial assistance, if they give you a cheaper price, you have less to find funding for to cover on your own.
There is also a "pump exchange" site where supplies can be donated and also people in need may be able to obtain some:
Insulin Supplies
Eli Lilly - Lilly Cares Program - their products include:
Glucagon™ (glucagon for injection )
Humalog® (insulin lispro injection )
Humalog® Mix75/25™ (75% Insulin lispro protamine suspension, 25% insulin lispro injection )
Humalog® Mix50/50™ (50% Insulin lispro protamine suspension, 50% insulin lispro injection )
Novo Nordisk Patient Asst. Prg. for Diabetics Their products include:
NovoLog® Mix 70/30
Insulin Delivery Systems
Sanofi-Aventis U.S. Patient Assistance Program
Lantus and
Apidra® insulin
WalMart human insulins - see separate Walmart entry below.
Other injectables
Amylin Pharmaceuticals » Patient Assistance Program
Byetta® and
WalMart - testing supplies and insulin.
Testing supplies:
WalMart has several brands of glucose monitors and test strips available at much lower prices than the name brands. They also have a mail-order program where strip prices are even cheaper.
No prescription is needed to buy monitors and/or strips. All products are available in stores and some on-line.
ReliOn Monitors and test strips
ReliOn test strips 300 count
ReliOn Insulin and related items
Walmart and Sam's Club ReliOn insulins are made by Eli Lilly and Company.
The Humulin ReliOn brand of insulin will include the following types of insulin:
• Humulin® N U-100 (NPH human insulin isophane suspension)
• Humulin® R U-100 (regular insulin human injection, USP )
• Humulin® 70/30 (70% human insulin isophane suspension, 30% human insulin injection )
I couldn't find an on-line source, but they are available in all stores. I checked the prices in my area and all types were $24.88 a vial. They may be less expensive in other areas of the country.
Relion syringes
Different states have different rules for buying insulin and syringes. Use this link to find the rules for your state:
IOH - State Prescription Laws for Syringes and Insulin
Book recommended for anyone using insulin:
Think Like a Pancreas
Walmart also has many generic drugs available at low cost:

The 10 Most Ridiculous Inventions Ever Patented
The wheel. The light bulb. Big Mouth Billy Bass. Great inventions inspire awe, while providing comfort and convenience to the masses. Other inventions inspire second-hand embarrassment and provide a window into the dark souls of the men who created them. In an extended compilation from his Daily Nooner, blogger Ross Wolinsky counts down 10 pieces of irrefutable proof that at least one clerk from the patent office comes to work stoned every day.
#10. The Flatulence Deodorizer
Filed in April 2000, the flatulence deodorizer "discloses a pad to be worn by a user for absorbing gas due to flatulence."This drawing pretty much sums up the problem: You're at the airport, waiting for your luggage in your favorite "Z" jacket, when suddenly you find yourself emitting odors so foul they require stink lines to be properly illustrated.
If you can get past the I'm-basically-wearing-a-weird-diaper-for-farts factor, this invention is actually a pretty good idea. Or it would be, we guess, if you're like the people in the testimonials on Flat-D.com. Those peoples' lives have been completely ruined by farts. A quick sampler:
"Your product has really helped me in the cramped space of my cockpit. I would sometimes notice the other guys using their mask to get some fresh oxygen ... When I feel the urge I usually quickly install it thru the back of my pants. Then I do not have to worry. It also does a nice job muffling the noise."
"On September 14th mom will be 78 years old, and that's why I'd like to take her to Hawaii ... I've traveled there twice, but she never has because of her flatulence problems."
#9. Method And Device For Recognition of a Collision With a Pedestrian
The days of plowing your car into things and not knowing whether or not it was a living person are finally over!This patent, which uses sensors in the car's bumper and engine hood, claims to be able to decide "with a high reliability" if that thing you hit was a pedestrian! It also takes into consideration changes in acceleration and whether or not the brakes were used prior to impact to figure it out.
Sounds like a pretty smart system to us. With that in mind, here's a little suggestion for the inventors: When you guys roll out the next version of this thing, maybe it'd be better if it actually PREVENTED the collision. That would probably make it slightly more useful. As it stands, all this really does is keep a tally of how many vehicular homicides you've committed.
#8. Animal Ear Protectors
Do you have a dog with long, floppy ears, and if so, do you give it food? And if you give it food, is it always getting its long, floppy ears covered in the food that you give it? Is this actually a serious problem that you have to deal with? If so, you should write a letter to your local pet accessory manufacturer and let them know about US Patent #4233942.
Then again, if this is a legitimate concern for you, you might also ask yourself, "What's wrong with my dog? Why can't it clean the excess food off its ears?" Or maybe, alternatively, "Will my dog look any less dumb walking around with these stupid tubes around its ears than it would with crusted-up dog food all over itself?" Then maybe, finally, "Why do I even own a dog? I don't have time to deal with this bullshit."
#7. Jet Powered Surfboard
To be honest, a jet powered surfboard isn't really pointless at all. Say you're out in the Pacific carving a SICK pipeline and a shark creeps up on you. On a normal board, you'd be like "bummer," but on a jet powered board, it'd be more like "no problemo!"
Also, just think of the cinematic possibilities that jet powered surfboards would open up. If they ever end up doing that long-awaited Point Break sequel, can you imagine the chase scenes they could pull?! They'd make the hoverboard sequence from Back To The Future II look like a big pile of shit.
So yeah, it'd be great if these were commercially available, but they should probably come with one of those body counter devices from invention # 9 because jet powered surf boards would almost certainly kill hundreds (if not thousands) of people every year. Of course, these would be people who could enter the afterlife knowing they had died the most awesome death possible.
#6. System For Magnetically Attaching Templeless Eyewear to a Person
For the uninitiated, "temples" are the little arms on eyeglasses that go behind your ears to hold them on your face. According to this patent, temples "cause discomfort to the wearer ... and can even cause permanent creases in the wearer's head." Rather than go to his optometrist and get his glasses adjusted, inventor David Peschel decided to go the extra mile and waste years of his life solving a nonexistent problem.
Here's the thing, though: Judging by the illustration, this system requires you to surgically remove your ears and replace them with magnetic rings. That seems a little drastic, particularly when you consider the fact that GLASSES REALLY AREN'T THAT UNCOMFORTABLE.
OK, upon closer examination, it turns out the system works by sticking adhesive magnets to the sides of your head. In a way, that might actually be worse than surgically removing your own ears. At least people without ears are capable of dignity.

How do I link to my new signature LO in the gallery to put iy on the signature challenge thread as a post, and also into the thread where I am to track my challenges?
To link your image, your link will appear like this
Without the asterisk's in there.
To get the picture image of your layout/siggie, right click and Copy Image URL.
And you can just add the gallery link to the challenge tracker using the [*url]insert link here[*/url] code.
Does that help?

Benedict in Brazil (III) (Update)
Today is the last and climactic day of the Pope's stay in Brazil.
This morning he celebrated Mass at the shrine of our Lady of Aparecida. And this afternoon he delivered an address, formally opening the Fifth General Assembly of CELAM.
At the Regina Coeli following the Mass, the Pope spoke not only in Portugese, but in Spanish, French, and English as well.
There is a report from Emer McCarthy on the web page of Vatican Radio. One can hear the voice of the Holy Father in English, and the heart of his message: "Nothing is more beautiful than to know Christ."
John Allen quotes from the CELAM address:
The Marxist system, where it found its way into government, not only left a sad heritage of economic and ecological destruction, but also a painful destruction of the human spirit. And we can also see the same thing happening in the West, where the distance between rich and poor is growing constantly, and giving rise to a worrying degradation of personal dignity through drugs, alcohol and deceptive illusions of happiness.
Allen summarizes the Pope's stance:
[T]he greatest contribution the Catholic church can make is to credibly and passionately proclaim Christ. People who order their lives on Christ, he argued, naturally pursue the values of peace and justice.
The Pope's lengthy address opening the CELAM assembly is now available.
Here is one section of the address:
The peoples of Latin America and the Caribbean have the right to a full life, proper to the children of God, under conditions that are more human: free from the threat of hunger and from every form of violence. For these peoples, their Bishops must promote a culture of life which can permit, in the words of my predecessor Paul VI, "the passage from misery towards the possession of necessities the acquisition of culture cooperation for the common good the acknowledgement by man of supreme values, and of God, their source and their finality" ("Populorum Progressio," 21).
In this context I am pleased to recall the Encyclical "Populorum Progressio," the fortieth anniversary of which we celebrate this year. This Papal document emphasizes that authentic development must be integral, that is, directed to the promotion of the whole person and of all people (cf. No. 14), and it invites all to overcome grave social inequalities and the enormous differences in access to goods. These peoples are yearning, above all, for the fullness of life that Christ brought us: "I came that they may have life, and have it abundantly" (John 10:10). With this divine life, human existence is likewise developed to the full, in its personal, family, social and cultural dimensions.
In order to form the disciple and sustain the missionary in his great task, the Church offers him, in addition to the bread of the word, the bread of the Eucharist. In this regard, we find inspiration and illumination in the passage from the Gospel about the disciples on the road to Emmaus. When they sit at table and receive from Jesus Christ the bread that has been blessed and broken, their eyes are opened and they discover the face of the Risen Lord, they feel in their hearts that everything he said and did was the truth, and that the redemption of the world has already begun to unfold. Every Sunday and every Eucharist is a personal encounter with Christ. Listening to Gods word, our hearts burn because it is he who is explaining and proclaiming it. When we break the bread at the Eucharist, it is he whom we receive personally. The Eucharist is indispensable nourishment for the life of the disciple and missionary of Christ.

A Brazilian friend reports that the Pope's visit was an immense success, and that people were impressed by his perfect Brazilian-Portugese accent.
Benedict seemed to enjoy himself at the public events, as did those who turned out. But numbers overall were much lower than expected...only 150,000 at Aparecida, when organizers had expected at least half a million. I don't think it's about the undeniable loss of Catholics to Pentecostalism and such. There are still tens of millions of active Brazilian Catholics. Reasons?
For the same reason that many of us still identify as Catholics. More and more the modern reformers of the church refuse to leave. And if truth be told we prefer order in the liturgy as opposed to someone extemporizing every week. We are a people who are not perfect, sinners, and we need to constructively renew our church. Constantly. Ecclesiam semper reformandi.Meanwhile Benedict is blundering in Brazil, as I see it.http://www.nytimes.com/2007/05/14/world/americas/14pope.html?pagewanted=... No apolgies for the plundering of native cultures. Is the reason that Latin America lags so far behind is that it is predominantly Catholic?Remember it was discovered the same time as North America.
Bill asked "s the reason that Latin America lags so far behind is that it is predominantly Catholic?"Only to whatever extent that Ireland's economic success is related to her predominant Catholicism.Re. Aparecida - the #s at other events were quite large. Isn't Aparecida somewhat remote?The Maid
-I think BXVI's visit to Brazil was a source of great pride to Catholics there.-His address to the Bishops at CELAM (at ZENIT) was relatively wide ranging and offered, beside traidtional pleas, :-a note that globilazation requires an ethic;;-that both Marxixm and capitalism have created problems in the region -that the value of women in the family needs to be better appreciated and respected in that culture;While he especially emphasized the Word and Eucharist, it was less han clear to me how he thought the vocational needs of a place like Brazil would be met.The days ahead at CELAM and the interaction among the diverse Bishops there, as well as their relationship to a group of more liberal/political theologians meeting simultabeously with no blessing from them. should produce some interesting comparisons.The Pope stress we must always be alive to new discoveries in the Spirit. Let's hope.
If there was a relatively muted response by Brazilians to the Pope's presence in Brazil, maybe it's because of the hard act he has to follow, as this pilgrim relates in a Time magazine article:"Emerson Rossi, 50, who walked 400 kilometers from his hometown of Jundiai to attend Sunday's closing mass in Aparecida, as part of his church group Caminho da Fe (Walk of Faith), summed up Benedict's challenge of being in the shadow of his predecessor. 'John Paul was a phenomenon. [Benedict] is normal,' he said. 'John Paul was a charismatic, he was about emotions. We Brazilians are about emotions.'" The article also mentions JPII's purportedly more common touch, as when he gave away his papal ring to a poor parish while doing a walking tour of a favela, as a reason for the Brazilians greater personal connection to BXVI's predecessor. In addition, the article says there are many in South America very eager for a South American pope. There were a few SA cardinals who were frontrunners during the last conclave (Cardinal Hummes, for example), and while no one would wish BXVI ill health, there is apparently a growing anticipation in SA that the Holy Spirit will turn its attention in the direction of that continent at the next conclave.
I agree with Bob. This was certainly one of the best speeches given by a Pope in recent times. I think it's extremely important to read the speech and not limit yourself to the article in the New York Times, or any other periodical. I think he makes a strong point of knowing the Word of God and examing the scriptures, and uniting in the Eucharist. He certainly emphises Jesus's option for the poor and the necessity of a better distribution of wealth . He also right out vatican II speaks of the "common priesthood of the people of God. I think was a wonderful directive. There is not sublstitute for reading this speech in its entirety. Thank you Bob Imbelli for the posting.
My last word until CELAM precedes is to thank Fr. O'Leary, who clearly understands the pastotal issues at play here and tries to elaborate them (with small thanks from those who only can adulate their view of what Rome says.)BXVI has a big vision for his "continent of hope." The point(s) I've tried to make are the pastoral issues are enormous in view of the politcal. socuiological and ecclesiial (especially the issue of division) over the years since Medillin.
"When they sit at table and receive from Jesus Christ the bread that has been blessed and broken, their eyes are opened and they discover the face of the Risen Lord, they feel in their hearts that everything he said and did was the truth, and that the redemption of the world has already begun to unfold. "These words or Benedict strongly says that one can break bread with Jesus only in the Catholic Church. It is a call for unity with the emperor rather than the Savior.Many people break bread with Jesus outside the Catholic Church. Jesus never confined God's people to the Scribes and Pharisees.There were a lot of nice words in Benedict's speech. Unfortunately the concern was more for power than love for neighbor. Otherwise the Samaritans would have been included. We have to stop our obsession with Rome and start seeing where the church, the community of believers subsists wherever "people hear the word of God and keep it." As Jesus says.If we still worship celebrity, then the pope's visit was a success.
Brazil, as I see it, is approximately where Ireland or Italy were 20-30 years ago. Whether it will grow in the same way is unclear, because it's not part of Europe and therefore lacks access to the generous EU resources that were made available to those countries that jump started their economies. Ireland's prosperity, in particular, is a creation of EU largesse (as well as American interest).But Brazil stands out in South America and it has amazing potential. This is purely anecdotal, but I know a fair number of young Brazilians through the au pair program and they exhibit enthusiasm and optimism about their country that is lacking in those coming from, say, Peru or Ecuador. I wonder if Benedict has focused his lens so narrowly on religious practice that he misses other trends -- Telling people to cultivate spiritual richness to combat material deprivation seems ill-considered, even unjust, even if the things that are most likely to lift Brazilians out of poverty are exactly those things that are also likely to make Brazilians less religious. As in Ireland and Italy, foregoing material progress is not a deal that most people would find appealing. To be seen as a bulwark of tradition when tradition is associated with such inequality and poverty is probably not wise.
Benedict had better stick to systematic theology because he obviously doesn't know diddly squat about Latin American history. I took an upper-level Latin American history course thirty-plus years ago, and anyone familiar with this subject should know that native cultures were trampled upon in order to advance the Spanish agenda of God, Glory, and God (and not in that order!).Me thinks Bennie looks through rose-colored glasses.
"God, Glory, and Gold," that is.
Really, just "Catholic" colored glasses. The Catholic Church certainly recognized the burden placed on the Irish, for instance, by the English -- but the English were not Catholic. It's disappointing to see the Pope seem to be so indifferent to the problems of indigenous people, especially since de facto cultural imperialism is still extant in Mexico and Brazil, in particular, as well as in other places. Just an interesting fact, I have read that there was a serious split among missionaries about the approach to native peoples, and when missionaries in Japan tried to do what missionaries in Central America did to the native populace (that is: adopt a conquest model of conversion), they were killed or driven out and Christianity was made illegal. Hence, the survival of Japanese tradition and the dearth of Japanese Christians. Matteo Ricci was a proponent of adapting Christianity in light of Asian cultural assumptions.
A further footnote from the Southwest. Despite well over 400 years of living together, a lot of intermarriage and native foilk living on pueblos and not reservations, there is still much deep seated bad feeling in the native community about the Conquistadores and missionaries who came.Across from what was the infamous Servant of the Praclete treatment Center in Jemez Spriongs, is a small State Monument with some pueblo and Church ruins. If you should pass theere , read the native writing from long ago about the mix.So despite a tremendous amount of value in what Benedict had to say to his fellow Churchmen and catholics, he apparently has offended both evangelical and indigenous leaders.Given the limited clergy there, will this help the Church in its attraction retention problem there?
That's what I don't get. I can't be the only person who believes that what's really weakening the Church in Latin America is the absence of new vocations. It doesn't seem like the Pope is speaking to anybody who might be receptive to priestly vocation. And I continue to believe as a matter of principle that until a nation attains a minimum standard of material well-being (running water and sewers, universal primary education) it would be better for anyone, let alone the Pope, to avoid minimizing the effects of their material deprivation. It sounds too much like "Who cares about your hardships, focus on the gift of being able to kiss my ring!"The cavern between them and him is too vast and it's usually clear as day to those who don't have what he does.
Anyone see Mel Gibson's movie about the pre-Christian culture in Latin America? Some quibble about certain aspects of it but the presentation of the indigenous culture there has not be successfully challenged. Anyone with more than a high school knowledge of pre-Columbian civilization knows that the Spanish brought much improvement by among other things ending ritual cannibalism. We cannot justly blame the Spanish for the fact that indigenous Americans had little resistance to the biological aspects of the Columbian exchange.Anyone know how the native tribes treated one another? Anyone wonder why so many tribes welcomed the Spanish and supported the Spanish in their wars with the Aztec?Is anyone willing to talk about cannibalism in pre-Columbian America?The hermeneutic of suspicion toward the Church and our own religious heritage seems so very strong here - is there anything the Church did right in bringing what the missal still calls "the true faith" to the Americas? Here is one: - the Catholic Europeans were open to intermarriage both in Latin America and in Quebec. A new Christian culture grew out of the old. That did not happen in New England - why not?Let's pay a game - every time we complain about the Church or Pope Benedict we have to say something nice about the Church or Pope Benedict at the same time.Anyone game? I am.The Maid
That the pre-columbian culture had horrible and brutal practices doesn't justify discriminating against mostly indigenous people more than 400 years later, especially since they have professed the majority European religion for most of that time. The "imperialism" didn't just stamp out religious practice, it marked indigenous people with an inferior status that in many respects continues today. That's what the Pope didn't seem to realize, and perhaps he truly doesn't.
The cultures of the indigenous peoples of the Americas were quite complex and noone is proclaiming that all was wonderful there.The notion that they were "savages" and the Christians who came were "civilized" is a terrible bit of self-justification.I really don't get the Maid's "game" comment. I think everyone who contributes here is serious and some of us try to be balanced, which may mean saying both good and bad (to use a childish expression) things about the Church or the Pope.It strikes me that those who love and want the best for the Church will strive to analyze what is happening and not just adulate whatever is hierachically spoken
Bob N. wrote:"It strikes me that those who love and want the best for the Church will strive to analyze what is happening and not just adulate whatever is hierachically spoken."Agreed Bob - here is a place where we can find common ground.You may have noticed my questioning Bishop Trautman's perspective on translation and should understand that to be evidence that at least one of us does not "adulate" "hierarchical" positions based on the speakers "hierarchical" status.To give example of how the game works we can compare it to the "Fairness Doctrine" once used to govern US media - I expressed what could be presumed to be a criticism of His Excellency, the bishop of Erie's position on translation. Let me add that he is a scripture scholar and knows how to run a meeting. The Maid
The Maid, Ireland's economic success, alas, is in direct proportion to its falling away from Catholicism. However, the youthful and well-educated population can be credited to Catholic devotion to family values and to the Church's excellent educational work.
Sorry for another post but JohnAllen's piece today on line about the paradox of BXVI is helpful in appreciating the aftermath of his address and the reaction of indigenous leaders.

Pumpkin Ice Cream with Candied Pepitas
Just in time for Canadian Thanksgiving comes this delicious ice cream that is filled with fresh pumpkin, and is lightly sweet and subtly spiced. The creaminess and smoothness of the ice cream is complemented nicely by the sugary crunch of the candied pepitas. The recipe for the pepitas comes courtesy of Isa--it is her sugared walnuts recipe from Vegan Cupcakes Take Over the World. Thanks, Isa! The kids were not crazy about the seeds, so you can make it without them if you like.
Pumpkin Ice Cream
- 2 cups diced pumpkin
- 1 cup soy milk
- 2 cinnamon sticks
- 4 cloves
- 1 can coconut milk
- 1/2 cup white sugar
- 1/4 cup brown sugar
- 1/4 tsp nutmeg
- 1/3 cup soy milk
- 2 tbsp corn starch
- 1 tbsp vanilla extract
Candied Pepitas
- 1 cup raw pepitas
- 1/2 cup sugar
- 4.5 tbsp maple syrup
- pinch of salt
Ice Cream
1. Place pumpkin, soy milk, cinnamon sticks, and cloves in a medium saucepan over medium heat. Cover and bring to bubbling. Reduce heat to low and simmer for 30 minutes.
2. Remove cinnamon stick and cloves and discard. Add coconut milk, sugars, and nutmeg. Blend smooth with an immersion blender, or in a blender. Return to medium heat, stirring constantly.
3. Whisk corn starch into the 1/3 cup of soy milk. When pumpkin mixture is steaming, slowly add cornstarch mixture. Keep stirring until mixture just begins to bubble.
4. Remove from heat and mix in vanilla.
5. Let completely cool in the fridge, then make as per the directions suited to your ice cream maker. Fold in the candied pepitas at the last moment, then fully chill in the freezer before serving.
Candied Pepitas
1. Preheat oven to 275. Lightly grease a piece of parchment paper.
2. Toast pepitas on a baking sheet for 8 mins, stirring the pepitas after 4 mins. Remove from oven and set aside to cool.
2. Put sugar, maple sugar, and salt in a saucepan. Bring to bubbling over medium heat, stirring constantly with a wooden spoon. Continue stirring for another 3 to 4 minutes, until thick and a deep amber brown. Remove from heat and stir in pepitas.
3. Spread pepitas on the prepared parchment. When cool, separate as best you can into individual seeds. Place in the freezer until ready to go into the ice cream.

Wow. I can't wait to try this. I'm so happy that you don't use canned pumpkin, because we don't get that here. I always replace it with fresh pumpkin in recipes, but I still wonder if it's the same since I've never had canned pumpkin.

Long subject, so I am hoping that explains what I am asking, but still let me elaborate with an example.
Let us assume we have an object as part of a container. Now the container is rotated by certain ROTATIONX, ROTATIONY, ROTATIONZ wrt the universe. Now we need to rotate the object WRT the container by rotationx, rotationy, rotationz such that the rotation of the object WRT the universe (rotx, roty, rotz) is zero. How do we do that?

My logic of creating such feature to benefit the Stackoverflow was having little flow which is corrected by Lix's Answer, which I have accepted.
I think "record a question and even maybe an answer as private and then ability publish it at appropriate time", if it is not a current feature, can be a very good feature.
While in the process of storing questions privately, Stackoverflow search engine can play very useful role. SO search engine can suggest solutions for many. Which will in turn save a lot of time of the individual user and individual can gain knowledge faster. Any benefit to an individual user is in aggregate benefit to the entire community.
User Scenario:
I am in a Learning Mode (learning programming, learning Scala). While continuously reading and practicing many questions arise which I may be able to tackle myself or may be I will need help to solve them.
Can I store/record question(s) on Stackoverflow as private?
If I am able to solve it, I will remove it or maybe if it seems useful for the community then I will publish it with answer.
If I am not able to solve it, find appropriate to ask to the Stackoverflow community then I will publish it to get the answer from knowledgeable community member.

Usborne Books
Usborne Books
The following is adapted from Usborne Books.
In 1973, Peter Usborne decided that educational, nonfiction books would need to change in order to compete with TV and comics, and thus founded Usborne Books.
Explanatory books which merely explain are doing only half the job; if a book fails to make its subject attractive and interesting to the reader, chances are that the explanation will fail. Usborne Books are designed graphically to draw the students in, to make them want to learn the material and to help them retain that knowledge. The magic of Usborne Books is that they make both reading and learning fun and not a boring or intimidating experience.
Usborne Books are fascinating, lavishly illustrated books written with humor, surprise and drama. They incorporate activities and puzzles to challenge a child's observation and intelligence. Their superb printing quality and exceptionally well-produced graphics, high ratio of pictures to text, short magazine-like format and unique detail set Usborne Books apart from anything yet produced. The books are printed on acid free paper, so the pages will last forever if taken care of properly.

Fitbit Wireless Activity/Sleep Tracker, Black/Blue for $79.95
Usually $99.99 I've been tracking this sucker as it has gone up and down in price by a few dollars - now Amazon has it at $79.95 - though, I did see that it's (at least partially) because the new one will be out October 25th - HOWEVER, if you're just looking to try it out at a non-premium price, take advantage of my obsessive shopping! (price has been down this low before, but not in a few months...)
6 Comments add a comment
down to $78.70 now for black/blue
These things are awesome, I've been using one for about a month now and it really puts exercise and calories in a good perspective for lil ole outta shape me.
Yes! Not a bad price at all. i have had mine for about a year and a half now. It the minimum this little pedometer significantly heightened my activity awareness.
What is not mentioned in this is that you also have access to online resources for tracking activity, sleep and more. You are also able to keep track of your calories intake compared to what has been burned.
It was $99 when I got it. Good find!
This is a great product. Now, I like it because it ties into our automated health reporting at work, but even outside of that, there's excellent data tracking on the backend through fitbit. I'm half-inclined to buy their Aria scale to get weight information as well.
Note: it's not much of a clip, and fairly easy to lose. Getting the thing securly attached is the trick.
These are really great at keeping track of your activities. However, I have lost 1 and broken 1. I would clip them on my change pocket on my Levi's and they seemed to work their way off or get caught on things.
Other than that, I really liked them. Still considering getting another one (helps me keep track of when I haven't done s**t all day, and I need to get my lazy @$$ moving).
This looks like an overall sale to blow out inventory. Best Buy is running the same promo

I'm considering taking a hobby (taking math and physics classes,
reading attempting to read arXiv papers) and turning it into a career change. However, I have 3 kids and a wife who doesn't make a lot of money so I have no choice but to look at grim reality.
I'm willing to work hard, network with people, do research, etc. so let's leave effort aside.
What is the statistical likelihood of getting a job as an actual theoretical physicist?

Confused about the role of mass
I know that two different masses fall at the same rate in the same gravitational field because the greater gravitational force of the heavier one is exactly offset by its greater inertial resistance. What I don't understand is why the larger mass wouldn't fall more slowly at first and then once the inertial resistance is overcome, it would then accelerate faster than the less massive one. It seems that the rate of acceleration (not velocity, which obviously does) would vary according to the distance of the fall

After attempting to use a VPN client (Astrill), I can no longer access the internet through my Ubuntu installation. The VPN was setup as piece of software, not something to be used through Ubuntu settings.
Its not a network issue, as on the same Wifi and wired network both my Windows install and other comps can connect and use the network.
I can, however, connect to sites via a proxy client running through WINE. I've tried changing proxy settings, but to no avail. I'm really at a loss and have no idea what I should do,
Whenever I try to run Firefox, I get almost immediately "Unable to connect" and when I try to update (
sudo apt-get update) in the terminal, it immediately comes back with cannot find. There isn't a moments hesitation, just bam! can't do it!
