In the June 16, 1999 issue of the Journal of the American Medical Association this issue is revisited. However, in place of tamoxifen, the investigators tested a new anti-estrogen medication: raloxifene. Raloxifene is classified as a selective estrogen receptor modulator and has properties distinct from tamoxifen. Both medications exert anti-estrogen effects on breast tissue but only raloxifene has pro-estrogen effects on bone, lipid metabolism and blood clotting. To determine whether raloxifene decreases the incidence of new cases of breast cancer, a multi-institutional trial called the MORE trial (Multiple Outcomes of Raloxifene Evaluation) started in the early 1990s.
Raloxifene was generally well tolerated as evidenced by the fact that the same percentage of women completed the placebo and the raloxifene treatments (75% each). Side effects included hot flashes, flu-like symptoms, leg swelling and cramps. The risk of venous thrombosis and pulmonary embolism was significantly higher in the group taking raloxifene, and one woman died of a pulmonary embolism.

The headline in the Sept. 10 issue of the Pilot was harsh but true: "One Brookings school passes, two fail state test."
But are the state test results that prompted the story a true indication of what's happening in Brookings schools?
This year's Oregon Assessment of Knowledge and Skills (OAKS) test scores show that elementary school students didn't meet math standards.
But wait, school officials say, that doesn't mean they did worse, because the level considered acceptable was raised.
So it doesn't mean what it seems to mean?
Time and again, we see reports of new state and federal test scores, ratings and more about our schools.
But there's almost always an administrator's accompanying comment explaining why they don't mean what they seem to mean, because of some change or other extenuating circumstance.
That makes it hard for taxpayers to judge how their money is being spent and parents to judge how well their children are learning.
Educators say there are lots of reasons for the difficulty, ranging from federal mandates to badly designed tests to changing notions about what constitutes educational success.
Additionally, if you want to see how Oregon students rank against students from around the nation, it gets harder still. There is the National Assessment of Educational Progress, but it's given to only a sample of students around the country.
Fortunately, there is hope, in the form of a nationwide initiative called Common Core State Standards, launched in 2009 by the National Governors Association and the Council of Chief State School Officers.
The idea is to establish a nationwide set of standards about what students need to learn at each stage, and to create assessments to measure how well they do.
Nearly all the states in the nation have signed on, including Oregon. Spring 2015 is targeted for the first testing.
Even if all goes as well as we can imagine, 2015 won't be the end of adjustments to standards and tests. It will take time to implement the necessary curriculum changes and evaluate the tests' effectiveness.
But it's impressive and we are hopeful that this movement comes not from a federal mandate, but from organizations that represent the many states.
And for taxpayers and parents, it is likely to provide long-needed, real comparisons to help us understand how our schools, and our children, are doing.

Pedantic question.
GNU recommend make
AUTHORS file for list of authors and contributos of a program. But how many "levels" of authors and contributors should contain the file? E.g. I write a program
foo, that actively use some library. Should I include authors of the library in the
AUTHORS? It seems to yes, because total code of
foo contain code from library. But if yes, I should include also authors of all others libraries, including standard libraries of compiler, authors of the compiler and other tools for producing final executable code, authors of OS... When I should stop?

Dealing with the Disabled
Here are 10 practical tips that will help you avoid feeling socially disabled when dealing with the disabled:
Mind Your P's and Q's
Remember, everything is relative: Some disabled writers have referred to nondisabled persons in general as TABs, for "temporarily able-bodied."
- If you offer assistance, wait until the offer is accepted. Listen for information about what form the assistance should take.
- Speak directly to the disabled person, not through a third party. This tip is particularly important when addressing a hearing-impaired person and someone else is "signing" for him.
- Always offer to shake hands.
- Identify yourself and others to a visually impaired person. Always let them know when you are leaving the room.
- Treat adults like adults. Don't use a person's first name until someone asks you to. Don't pat. Don't patronize.
- Don't shout.
- Don't touch, lean on, or move a wheelchair without permission. Treat the chair as part of the person occupying it.
- Don't distract a working seeing-eye dog.
- When conversing with a person with a speech impediment, listen carefully and never pretend to understand. If in doubt, ask questions. Be patient. Don't interrupt or inject comments during pauses. Don't try to fill in a word for someone with a stutter. Don't raise your voice. Louder is not better.
- Don't fret about phrases. Speak as you would normally and don't worry about using expressions such as "running around" (to someone in a wheelchair), or "listen to that," or "see you later."

Mercedes Benz GL350 2013
Mercedes GL-Class SUV received a brand new trim level this year with the introduction of the GL350 BlueTEC. As expected from Mercedes, this year's GL brings lots of improvements to the table both inside out and aims to deliver a more powerful yet efficient powertrain. Spaciousness is also one key element on which the German manufacturer focused to improve so it all seems quite promising so far.

I solved for a Poisson equation with finite elements, using piecewise linear basis functions on 2d triangles.
Now, I want to evaluate the following expressions:
$$ \int_\Omega \Delta u ~dx$$ and $$ \int_\Omega (\Delta u)^2 ~dx$$ I want to evaluate these expressions using my approximated solution $u$ which has been computed on piecewise linear basis functions.
For the first one, I thought of using the identity $\int_\Omega div \nabla u = \int_{\partial\Omega} \nabla u . \vec{n}~ds$ and summing this expression over each triangle.However, as expected, the result is strictly 0 since the basis functions are linear.
I also tried to use a kind of jump formula (like $f'(x)=\tilde{f}'(x) + f^+-f^-$ where $\tilde{f}'$ is the derivative of the smooth part of f) but I'm stuck on how to do that for each triangle in 2D (the outer normal is likely to cancel out when computing the same formula for two adjacent triangles sharing an edge) - and I'm wondering if it is supposed to work.
For the second one, I just have no clue.
Am I forced to use higher order elements ? Any idea ? Thanks!

- Binding: Hardcover (USAC)
- Era: 20th Century
- Number of Pages: 208
- Subject: World War I
- Date Available: October 2010
Your tax-deductible gift to the Naval Institute Press underwrites worthy books that might not otherwise be published.
In this book, the sequel to the highly acclaimed Warrior to Dreadnought, renowned warship author D. K. Brown brings his knowledge and experience as a warship designer to the story of the Royal Navy's development of World War I warships and the influence of that conflict on future warship design. The launch of HMS Dreadnought in 1906 ushered in one of the most rapid periods of warship development in history, and only ten years after this all-big-gun, turbine-powered battleship was completed, two entire fleets of Dreadnoughts would meet at Jutland and put the work of the prewar designers to the ultimate test.
D.K. Brown was a distinguished naval architect who retired in 1988 as Deputy Chief Architect of the Royal Corps of Naval Constructors. He published widely on the subject of warship design and built a reputation as a clear and brilliant commentator on the development of the ships of the Royal Navy. He died in 2008.
Praise for The Grand Fleet
"This book is indispensable for any naval historian of the period. The naval historian, through careful reading of what is often complex engineering (although the author does well in placing the subject within the range of a layman's ability) can gain much from this book."
— International Journal of Maritime History, December 2011

Students Not Using the SLU Visa Service
Students Not Using the SLU Visa Service:
For students who do not or cannot use the SLU Visa Service, please review the following information regarding the visa application process.
Please direct specific visa questions, as well as the official application and supporting documents, to the consulate in the jurisdiction in which you reside.
The following steps may assist students throughout the visa application process:
- Find the consulate in your jurisdiction as well as their corresponding visa website by clicking here. California residents, please click here. Once you open the map included in the hyperlink you will be able to access your specific Consulate visa site. Once located on your consulate website, the student visa information is normally listed under "Long Stay Visas".
- Set an appointment with the Spanish consulate in your jurisdiction. Some consulates have an online scheduling system, while others request that you email to set the appointment. Please note that consulate appointments fill up very quickly. We encourage students to set their appointments as soon as possible. Setting an appointment far in advance will reduce the chances of not being able to find an appointment later on. If a consulate is full, students will have to wait for someone to cancel their appointment in order to be able to book one. As Consulates are an immigration agency, Saint Louis University cannot intercede on a student's behalf in order to request that a student be given an appointment.
- Students must be accepted into the program and have completed the confirmation payment in order for Saint Louis University to issue the official acceptance letter and proof of insurance. These documents are needed to apply for a visa and have to be originals, therefore must be sent via mail. Confirmations payments should be done in a timely fashion to provide enough time to receive the letters via mail prior to your appointment.
- Please check with the consulate to which you are applying in regards to how long your passport should be valid; the minimum expiration date required may vary from consulate to consulate.
- Some Consulates allow you to apply using a legal representative. Please check with your specific consulate if this is a possibility and, if so, how to proceed.

JSDuck - the tool for documenting your Ext JS apps
Today I'm happy to announce the release of JSDuck 3.0.
The project has grown quite tremendously since the initial 0.1 release almost a year ago. No more is it an alternative documentation generator, but an official one. Therefore I'm closing the old forum thread which has lots of outdated information and start a new fresh one.
Check out JSDuck at Github.
Although a lot has changed, the main features of JSDuck have remained the same:
* Support for Markdown, so you can write human-readable comments.
* Strong adherence to the DRY principle, so you don't have to repeat in comments what you already have said in code.
Over time JSDuck has been extended outside the realm of basic API documentation, allowing the creation of guides, examples and other things you see in the official Ext JS 4 documentation.
But for most users, these aren't as useful, so for this 3.0 release I'd like to highlight the latest and greatest API documentation related features:
* Inline examples allow you embed live demos of your components (no more limited to Ext JS 4 components) inside the documentation. No more will you need to create screenshots to show how your component looks like. Simple add an @example tag, and there you have it.
* Custom tags allow you to add support for metadata tags that JSDuck doesn't support natively, like @license, @date, @version.
Read the Advanced Usage Guide for details.
Like always, JSDuck is just a simple gem install away:
$ [sudo] gem install jsduck
For latest changes, see the changelog.

When installing JSDuck on Ubuntu I'm getting this:
nickolay@nickolay-note:~$ sudo gem install jsduck Building native extensions. This could take a while... Building native extensions. This could take a while... ERROR: Error installing jsduck: jsduck requires RubyGems version >= 1.3.7 nickolay@nickolay-note:~$ gem -v 1.3.5 nickolay@nickolay-note:~$
22 Oct 2011 2:24 AM #3
Strange that nobody has asked for this before. I downgraded the required RubyGems to 1.3.5 and released JSDuck 3.0.1.
The only reason I required 1.3.7 was me having this version when I released JSDuck 0.1.

When I get an image not found warning, there is no indication as to where the image is referenced (i.e. no file or line number).
I am having difficulty with the --images option. How do I specify multiple image folders? I've tried doing
but it doesn't work. What is the proper delimiter to use?
Also, can you provide an example of the --img option - I have been unable to get it to work.
24 Oct 2011 11:28 PM #7
I'm having a small issue with --images options. Here's my setup...
I have the jsduck executable in a folder (say, c:\jsduck).
I have a folder under that called content (c:\jsduck\content).
In the content folder, I have the welcome.html and json files (for categories, guides and videos), plus another folder called images where I want to put some loose images.
To build, I specify --images=c:\jsduck\content\
In doc-comments, to access a loose image from my images folder, I can specify:
{@img images/someimage.png Sample Image}
But in markdown for a guide, I have to specify:
![Sample image](images/images/someimage.png)
It looks like in the doc output, an images folder is getting created to contain all the images, so my loose images get copied into there under another images folder. But it is curious that it resolves correctly in the doc-comments, but not in the markdown.
References such as the following resolve correctly:
![Another Image](guides/myguide/guideimage.png)
25 Oct 2011 12:22 AM #8
I don't suppose there is a way to turn off specific warnings - like this one?
"Optional param can't be followed by regular param {name}"
Or at least re-word it so that it is stated as a warning and not a limitation.
"Optional param is followed by an expected param {name}"
25 Oct 2011 1:05 AM #9
To provide multiple image input directories you should simply use the --images option multiple times:
jsduck --images /dir/1 --images /dir/2
I don't really understand why would you specify --images=c:\jsduck\content\ if it's really the c:\jsduck\content\images that contains the images. But anyway...
To link images from guide contained in the same directory as the guide itself, the simple {@img} tags should work: {@img image_name.png}
But I guess the main problem is that you try to share images between comments and guides. That's a very reasonable wish, but unfortunately JSDuck has no support for this at all... besides the ![Sample image](some/path.png) syntax which is Markdown version of simply using the  tag, allowing you to link any image on the internet whatsoever.
I'll have to come up with some better approach to support that kind of sharing.
As for the warning messages... these also need to be improved.
* * *
A good example of the --img option is it's default value:
jsduck --img '

'
25 Oct 2011 1:11 AM #10
I do have a plan to allow more granular control over which warnings get hidden/shown. But this particular warning should indeed be reworded, as it's more of an ExtJS convention than limitation in JavaScript.

Jesse Thistle Scores First Career NWWT Victory At CGS
By Ben Deatherage
(Photo Courtesy of Northwest Racing Productions)
For the fourth time this season the Northwest Wingless Tour was in action. The Cottage Grove Speedway would host the NWWT on Saturday July 12th and the historic ¼-mile clay oval would see an intense battle in the main event.
Ozzie Osburn of Springfield would lead the early circuits in the Travis Tomlinson owned Jessica House at Beauty Boutique Salon of Roseburg/T-N-T Diversified #16 Maxim. Osburn would work the bottom of the track as Creswell's Jesse Thistle operated up top. Thistle, in the RCV Custom Coach Service/William & Mathis Accounting/Cobalt Computer Services/All Around Printing #4 XXX, would secure the lead on lap four.
A stoppage at lap twelve would bunch the field up for the last time and on the ensuing restart Thistle would stay out in front the rest of the way. For Thistle it would be his first career Northwest Wingless Tour victory.
Mike Carrothers of Cottage Grove would place his Carrothers Automotive Machine Shop #18 Maxim in second while the Pro Tow/Beaverton Automotive/Rabourn Performance Engines #50 Eagle of Brad Rhodes from Aloha was third. Kady Adelman of Salem in her Machined For Speed By Craig Jenson/Baxter's Auto Parts/Brooks True Value #6A Maxim got fourth and in fifth would be fellow Salem chauffeur Tim Alberding in the WSK Machine #52 Maxim.
Earning fast time of the night was Tim Alberding while Kady Adelman picked up the trophy dash victory. The winner of the only heat race was also Adelman. The Northwest Wingless Tour is next in action at Sunset Speedway Park on Saturday July 26th. For the latest news and information log on to wingless.nwextremeseries.com.

4 oz. Hungarian Paprika with $20+ purchase
or 16oz on orders $30+
Also get 1oz sample of another spice of your choosing
7 Comments add a comment
who exactly uses that much paprika in a year.
@skildude: Hungarians, obviously?
Paprika itself is like $9 on ebay :
@yeahboy97: you should have at least pointed out that was $9 for a 4oz bag. The deal here is for 16oz.
@yeahboy87: sorry, my bad. 16 oz on $30 order, 4oz on $20.
I love this company. They have decent prices and great selection. They have spices you never knew you needed. I've gotten lots of stuff that I use regularly and some more exotic stuff that had me thinking of new recipes to use them in.
Yeah, what you said.
Only place I buy vanilla beans. Only place I could find for larger ground table pepper.
Actually got this Hungarian smoked paprika as a bonus on one shipment. Thought it'd be a non-discernible difference in taste - wrong. Great site. Good stuff.

15 Words You Won't Believe They Added to the Dictionary
The Oxford English Dictionary is constantly updating, adding new words to reflect the vibrant changes in language and culture. Of course, that also means that as said culture spirals toward a frightening and retarded oblivion, the good people at Oxford have to be there to chronicle it.
Here are some recent additions that make us fear for our future.
#15. Muggle
n. In the fiction of J.K. Rowling: a person who possesses no magical powers. Hence in allusive and extended uses: a person who lacks a particular skill or skills, or who is regarded as inferior in some way.
The people at the Oxford English Dictionary acknowledge that the work of an author entering the dictionary is rare, but the use of "muggle" had become so widespread they had to include it, ensuring that the future will remember us for standing in line at Borders in wizard costumes.
Wait, does this mean if we invent a new word right now they'll be forced to include it in a few years, as long as enough readers use it? Good. Guys, the word is "dongtacular."
#14. Blamestorming
n. A method of collectively finding one to blame for a mistake no one is willing to confess to. Often occurs in the form of a meeting of colleagues at work, gathered to decide who is to blame for a screw up.
There already is a word for when a group of people blame someone for a mistake. It's called blaming. Blamestorming, however, cutely mimics "brainstorming" and office politics dictates the more cringe-inducingly "clever" a word sounds, the more often in needs to be used.
"We're so witty! Just like the people on The Office! Somebody should make a sitcom about us!"
#13. Gaydar
n. A homosexual person's ability to identify another person as homosexual by interpreting subtle signals conveyed by their appearance, interests, etc.
Ah, there's nothing like a cutesy pun to sum up this awkward and nervous era when we finally acknowledged there was such a thing as gay people without treating it as a national emergency, yet were not so cool with it that people felt OK about openly acknowledging their gayness.
Thus we had to invent this word to represent the rush of personal pride felt by the perceived ability to instinctively tell if someone prefers sausage to tacos, whether they wanted you to know it or not.
#12. Grrrl
n. A young woman regarded as independent and strong or aggressive, especially in her attitude to men or in her sexuality.
Now, remind us, is "grrrl" a word used by "grrrl" types, or the people who make fun of them? You know what, it doesn't matter, because, there's no vowel.
What the fuck is that? Call us tools of the male chauvinist patriarchy, but even the wacky sound effects from the 60s Batman TV show had vowels in them. That's right, this is less of a word than ZWWAP!
#11. Threequel
n. The third film, book, event, etc. in a series; a second sequel.
Hey, thanks Hollywood, for making enough of these that we had to invent a whole new word. So will fourquel be next? Quadrology? Will we all be buying the Star Wars sixantium box set?
#10. Mini-me
n. A person closely resembling a smaller or younger version of another.
Hey, remember when you thought we couldn't get any lower than "muggle"? Those were the days, right?
Nothing puts a society as firmly in its place as when you realize the language has been permanently changed by a franchise about a horny spy that repeated the same jokes and catchphrases dozens of times across two sequels. Is this one from the same movie where Mike Myers drank the cup full of shit? We don't remember.
#9. Screenager
n. A person in their teens or twenties who has an aptitude for computers and the Internet.
In a curious twist, there is no word for an Amish youth who has an aptitude for barn raising or a Scientologist youth who's developed some skills in picking the lock on his cage. Still, it's probably hard to make a really shitty pun for either of those so that might explain things.
#8. Cyberslacking
v. Spending one's employer's Internet and email facilities for personal activities during working hours.
Remember the dot-com bubble of the late 90s, when the Internet was new and exciting and every novelty erotica site you found was like Christmas morning, only with fisting? Cyberslacking is the word-product of that. In retrospect, using the Internet to kill time at work wasn't the Tron-like revolutionary experience this word implies, so regular "slacking" would suffice just as well.
Then again, we might as well have the word now, as this dongtacular practice isn't going away any time soon.

The 11th November 2013 will forever go down in the annals of history as 3D-Day, the day when the chaps off that there Caskstrength.net officially launched their fourth whisky bottling as well as a piece of cinema that may well prove to be the most significant televisual event since Quantum Leap, and I don't say that lightly.
'A' was for Arran, 'B' was for BenRiach and 'C' was for Cutty Sark. That leads us to 'D' in Neil and Joel's epic A-Z series, and why have one 'D' when you can have 3? A tremendous blended malt constructed from the Diageo trio of Dailuaine, Dalwhinnie and Dufftown single malts was the result. It's quite literally 3'D' malt whisky, and who doesn't love a bit of 3D?

It's finally here. Yes, folks, Joel Harrison and Neil Ridley have raised the anchor and set sail to release the third instalment in their A-Z of whiskies series. This time, they took to the high seas (or high rails?) to celebrate their first crack at creating a blend. And what a blend it was! It stands up to water, cocktails, and rush-hour traffic on the London Circle Line.
Our journey began with an introduction by two salty dogs, dressed to the nines in seafaring garb and presenting us with a fractured history of the London tube. Were there sea shanties, you ask? But of course!

That's right, folks. Those crafty chaps from Caskstrength announced today their new bottling! Due to launch on 25 March 2013, the third instalment in the much-celebrated Alphabet Series is indeed a Cutty Sark, Neil and Joel undertook the herculean task of blending their own whisky, and the result is sure to be interesting!

I'm sure you'll all remember the frankly fantastic couple of bottlings launched by the irrepressible duo from Caskstrength Neil and Joel in the past year or so?
First up was an Arran – a delight of a whisky with a frankly absurdly low outturn of only 92 bottles. This astonishing bottling rapidly sold out, and is now changing hands for hundreds of pounds on auction sites.
Second was an astonishing Benriach, matured for an impressive 16 years, and finished for 4 of those years in a Pedro Ximenez cask. This too, sold out in incredibly short order.
After 'A' for Arran, and 'B' for Benriach, must come 'C'.

You remember our friends from Caskstrength.net? Bespectacled, dapper sort of chaps? They're into whisky and Alan Partridge, do some events…?
Anyway, they've gone and teamed up with BenRiach to put together one of them there special bottlings, they have. And between you and me, it is a delight. Not just because it comes with a rockin' cotton tote bag (well, only the first 50 bottles, mind you), not just because it has a pink label (I am a sucker for pink) [ed: don't you mean red?], and not just because it spent four years in a PX cask (I am a major sucker for PX). It is delightful because it was hand-selected by Joel and Neil themselves, only 296 bottles are to be released, and you can only buy it from us. What an expression of a beautiful friendship…or, marriage? More...

I don't like the jelly-like substance found in between the pastry and meat of pork pies, and I don't know anyone that does, so I was wondering why they put it in. Or is it a by-product of the cooking/manufacturing process? Why is it there, and is it possible to create a pork pie without it?
There used to be a good reason to add the jelly to the meat pie: food safety. In the time before refrigerators, it was hard to keep meat without some spoilage. But a slaughtered fully grown pig meant some hundred kilos of meat, and it wasn't eaten on a single day.
Most of the bacteria which spoil meat need oxygen to proliferate. So once you pack the meat into a clinging skin, it keeps for longer. This is one of the reasons why people bothered to bake meat pies instead of roasts in the first place.
But there is a problem with meat pies. As the other answers mentioned, the meat steams while being baked, and this steam must be gathered below the upper crust and vented through a hole. You can't tightly wrap the meat in the crust and then bake; the steam will probably open the seam, resulting in an irregularly shaped pie, and the crust still won't cling. So, a meat pie has some space between the meat and the roof.
I don't know how quickly such a pie will dry out, as ElendilTheTall suggested. Surely, this is a factor. But I bet that, if you keep it outside of a refrigerator, it will spoil long before it dries. Filling this space with jelly (which happens to be available in big amounts too - after all, we just slaughtered our big pig and want to cook lots of it as quickly as possible, so we probably have more stock than we can use up) practically seals the meat airtight against bacteria. And while the cooks from that time didn't know about bacteria, they sure knew how quick a piece of meat spoils visibly (smellably?). This is how the traditional jelly-topped meat pie recipe was born.
We have refrigerators today, but we still follow the recipes as they always were. I don't see any reason not to. Drying out is probably a factor. And as for the taste - I have eaten more French patês than English meat pies, and maybe there is some difference. They never looked like on sarge_smith's picture. But I definitely like the jelly layer. I must confess that I have always eaten it in good restaurants or home made, so maybe the poor quality has ruined it for you.
But anyway, if you want to bake meat pies without it, you don't have to include it. The problem is that, if you leave the space hollow, you'll have a cosmetic problem (your crust will probably shatter when you try to cut it) and the already mentioned drying possibility. The solution is to bake the pie without the upper crust. You'll then have meat pie slices which only have crust on three sides. If you don't want a baked crust to form on the meat, or if you experience heat control problems because of the missing insulator, use a temporary cover (aluminum foil, bacon stripes, or lay some big lettuce leaves on it and throw out later, or you can try a plate, but must somehow leave an opening for the steam). If you want a pie with four crust sides, blind bake a sheet of pastry pre-cut for the open side (allow for shrinkage when cutting), then glue it to the meat pie somehow. Sticky honey glaze, or a layer of cream cheese should work (as would jellied stock :) )
This doesn't guarantee that you won't get some congealed fluid within the pie. sarge_smith correctly pointed out that the meat in a pie is collagen-rich, and all the juices which would become roast drippings in roasted meat are staying between the meat and the crust. Some will get absorbed, but maybe not all. It may be worth to try making the pie with ground tender meat. I am however not sure whether this will provide you with a good jelliless pie, or with a pie with a soggy crust.
The jelly in British pork pies is added deliberately, after the rest of the pie is cooked, to help keep the meat moist. In good pies it is usually either ham or chicken stock which jellifies as it cools.
It is entirely possible to make a pork pie and omit this step at the end, but the pie then needs to be eaten sooner before it dries out.
I have been a baker for over 30 years and made many pork pies in that time,the above answers stating that the jelly acts as a preservative and stops the meat drying out are correct, but also the jelly when added at the correct time, roughly 20 minutes half an hour after baking, absorb the pork juices that would otherwise soak into the pastry which would make the pastry limp and not crisp and eventually go dry.
As the answers included above, the jelly traditionally found in pork pies was used as preservative and to keep the meat most. However clarified butter was more commonly used as a preservative in pies.
Try making a more filled pork pie using a mold to stop the seams from splitting during the cooking process, so you don't have a gap where the jelly should go. Or try making your own jelly. Get some split trotter, tails from the butchers and boil it up with a carrot and onion (this will also give a natural colour to the jelly) cloves, allspice, thyme and rosemary. Leave the jelly to set over night in the fridge and scape off the fat on the top. Bring it back to the boil before pouring it into your pie with a small funnel or an icing syringe which I use.
I think by simply knowing where the jelly has come from will make it more palatable and using natural jelly which is home spiced is much better than that found in manufactured pies.
Also use good pork; outdoor reared, grass fed pies will have more nutrition and more flavour. When starting my own pork pie business I was fully aware of people's disgust at the jelly, I now have many customers who never like jelly but thoroughly enjoy the jelly in my pies.
Some excellent answers. I use the pigs trotter method and I have purposely left my pies to go cold before adding the jelly to allow the meat to shrink a little thus providing a closer meat and jelly ratio. The butcher who adds the jelly 20 minutes after cooking makes sense and I will try this method.

Santa's Secret Entry
Spread Sheet asks: How does Santa Claus deliver gifts to houses that don't have chimneys?
Only 40.3% of homes in the U.S. have fireplaces, according to the Hearth, Patio & Barbecue Association, meaning Mr. Claus must find an alternative entry into about 60% of homes on Christmas Eve.
Gift-distribution via chimney is perhaps the easiest in the Northeast, where 58% of new single-family homes feature at least one fireplace, 2011 census data show. In second place is the West, where 53% of new homes have fireplaces.
Heated Discussion
Some facts about fireplaces in the U.S.
- 53% percentage of homes with fireplace or freestanding stove
Of homes with a fireplace:*
- 57% are located in the living room
- 38% are located in the family room
- 6% are in the master bedroom
- 5% are in the dining room
- 3% are in the library/home office
- 3% are in the kitchen
Of homes with fireplaces:
- 60% used for either 'atmosphere' or as a 'focal point for the holidays'
- 13% are used as a major heat source
- 27% are used as a secondary heat source
- 50% are wood-burning
- 36% are gas
- 14% are electric or use other energy
*Total exceeds 100% because of homes with multiple fireplaces

In addition to fireplace-friendly colder temperatures, the Northeast has a large share of luxury homes, which are more apt to include fireplaces, says Ed Hudson, director of the market research division at the NAHB Research Center, a subsidiary of the National Association of Home Builders. In the U.S., 85% of new luxury homes have at least one fireplace, compared with 37% of new starter homes and 75% of new move-up homes, which are bigger or better, Mr. Hudson says.
Complicating Santa's task, however, is the increasing use of gas fireplaces, which are now found in 36% of homes that have a fireplace, according to the Hearth, Patio & Barbecue Association. Gas units sometimes don't have chimneys and instead are often vented to the outside with a stovepipe—far too narrow for St. Nick.
Even gas fireplaces that have a chimney may have a glass window in front of the flames.
"If Santa goes down that vent, he isn't going to get into that room," says Leslie Wheeler, communications director for the Arlington, Va.-based hearth and patio group.
Fireplaces are also being built in unusual places, such as several feet off the ground like a framed picture, in between an interior and exterior wall or in the master bath. In these places, "Santa's going to have to come through the front door," Ms. Wheeler says.
Six-year-old Caden Densmore subscribes to the front-door theory. There is no fireplace in his parents' Durham, N.C., home. So Caden says he's hoping Mr. Claus will deliver a black-and-yellow remote-controlled car using the main entry.
For clarity, we rang up North Pole, Alaska, where visitors can meet St. Nick in person. Nicole Blizinski, marketing coordinator for the Santa Claus House, says that while chimneys are his preferred method, Mr. Claus can enter homes using a magic key handcrafted by the elves.

I have a Windows Vista problem I'm trying to resolve with Ubuntu, but I'm not all that familiar with how to work one with the other. Vista went into an update loop while my wife was booting up our Acer Aspire 5515 a few days ago. Screen is stuck on installing Part 3 of 3 at 0% for over 5 hours. Can't boot into Safe Mode with command line, System Repair refuses to come up, so no System Restore or command line or anything else. Of course, the laptop came without any installation discs to boot from, and the recovery disks want to wipe the drive and reinstall Windows. Then I remember I have an older Ubuntu CD I was playing around with years ago. I can boot from that, but because of the "unclean" state left by the failed update, I have to force mount the Acer disk. So now I can see the drive. I renamed the pending.xml file in winsxs as recommended from MS Support, but that hasn't solved the problem. How do I run Windows commands from Ubuntu, e.g., System Restore so I can roll this puppy back to an earlier, happier time, or regedit so I can delete some of the keys also mentioned in the MS page? Thanks for any insight offered.
The chntpw tool has limited registry editing capabilities. I don't believe it comes with Ubuntu by default, you'll have to install it by clicking the link above, or opening a terminal and runing the following command:
Once you get the tool installed, you'll have to tell it which registry file to edit by entering
Wine comes with a registry editor, but I believe this is only for Wine's registry and not any other Windows registry. I have an XP partition for gaming and could not open it through wine's editor. If you want to try this approach, enter

NEW YORK - The Franciscan University of Steubenville women's tennis team shut out Medaille College Sunday, winning their second conference match 9-0. The Barons blanked D'Youville Saturday.
Winning every match, the Lady Barons played with confidence and dominated the court.
"They generated the pace today, making the match their own", said Coach Jenna Lynch.
No. 1 singles player and team captain Leann Roggensack started off the competition with a 6-2, 6-0 lead for the Lady Barons.
"Today, Leann proved that she can handle the No. 1 spot," Lynch said. "Her consistency and ability to keep calm are two attributes that are needed at this level of play."
No. 3 doubles and No. 5 singles player Hannah Pettit did not allow a single set from her opponent, winning 8-0 in doubles and 6-0, 6-0 in singles.
"I was really proud of the strategic points I saw this weekend, compared to a mere defensive form of play," Lynch said. "It's very pleasing to see the athletes begin to coach themselves in an individual sport."
The Lady Barons face University of Pittsburgh-Greensburg and La Roche College Saturday.
"We still have room for much improvement as the competition continues," Lynch said.
Women's soccer loses
LATROBE, Pa. - The Barons women's soccer team dropped a 2-1 contest against at St. Vincent College on Sunday. FUS faced the challenge of adjusting to new players playing different positions due to a recent plague of injuries.
"We had five starters out for this game, but our second string stepped it up and showed they could work and play just as hard," said assistant coach Clare Smith.
One starter still in the lineup was emerging star sophomore Ashley Ruttencutter, who scored the only FUS goal at the 60-minute mark. Ruttencutter scored in what is becoming her signature fashion, a strike from outside the 18-yard box. The assist came from freshman midfielder Calene Dougherty.
The goal, however, wasn't enough to overcome the two goals St. Vincent scored in the first 15 minutes of the game.
"The defense had to use a new formation due to injuries and it was a difficult transition in the first half but we mastered the formation by the second half," head coach Johann Marin said.
The defense proved that it could provide some solid play without the starters, by shutting out the Bearcats in the second half. Mallory Garthwaite was in the goal and had nine saves, helping out the inexperienced defense.
"In the face of adversity I view this as another triumph for the Lady Barons. It was an unreal rise above the challenge and theses ladies are doing extraordinary things against very tough competition," Marin said.
"We are excited to use what we learned from this game against Westminster on Tuesday," Smith said.

1957 Chevy Timber Wolf Project Car - Pro Street MakeoverWritten by on August 21, 2007 Contributors: David Freiburger, Randy Lorentzen, Jerry Pitt, Pure Vision In the Span of Only Five Weeks, Pure Vision Transformed a '57 Chevy Pro Streeter From Run-of-the-Mill to Flamed Standout.
Hot rodding is all about modifying your vehicle for better performance, to make it look cooler, or to just to suit your interests and aesthetics. It can take a long time to get the car just right, but it's worth the effort. Some folks get the car finished, drive it for a while, and then feel the need to tear back into it to do something different, basically starting over. That's especially common when it takes so long to build the car that the style becomes dated, or the owner just changes his mind. Of course, you can always buy someone else's project or finished car, but the downside to that is that it's never truly yours. Drastic change is necessary for it to really come home.
The latter situation is where we found ourselves with this project. In a promotion with Timber Wolf (see the sidebar Win Our Car) we went looking for a car that we could transform from someone else's cast-off to a different car with a brand-new attitude. We knew we wanted a Pro Streeter because it had been forever since HOT ROD had done anything with one, and after some searching we came up with a '57 Chevy that had been given the full back-half job some years ago. It looked good but forlorn sitting in the parking lot of the pawnshop where we found it. We trailered the '57 up to Simi Valley, California, to Steve Strope's Pure Vision shop and started inspecting it closer.
The car looked its Pro Street part, with a big-block Chevy under the hood, fat tires in the tubs, a ladder bar suspension, and a six-point rollcage. It actually seemed so good that we initially thought we'd made a mistake; how could we transform a car that was already so nice? But upon closer inspection, the flaws came to the surface. Strope says, "I had a split impression. For the money we got a pretty straight, nice car. The tub job was decent, and it had what we needed to start with. But once you got into it you found hokey work, and I wasn't thrilled with the execution and attention to detail. The brake lines and wiring were awful, it had mismatched themes using old parts with new billet stuff, and there were bad color choices-the suspension and windshield wiper were orange, for crying out loud! The motor was also a disaster and it had a dopey cage. But the things that needed to be changed were what we were going to change anyway, so it all worked out."
This is the third giveaway car Strope has worked on for HOT ROD, so we knew it was in good hands. After bench-racing ideas back and forth, we came up with a plan to give the car an old-time drag race theme, complete with a wicked rake and period-style wheels. With a Tavis Highlander rendering in hand, Strope and his guys tore into it. We gave them a five-week deadline since the car had to be on this year's Power Tour(r), and they used every second of it.
As it came together, Strope kept coming up with great ideas to continue the theme, and though it pushed the deadline to hair-pulling extremes, the end result is a trick car. The engine details, like the Edelbrock finned valve covers, white-painted Patriot headers, modified velocity stacks, and handmade fuel block for the dual Edelbrock quads, are all done with a feel for the '60s and '70s. The interior was changed from the black vinyl and cloth the car came with to a bitchin' red interior from Year One, which has just added Tri-Fives to its inventory of catalog offerings. The cliche billet steering wheel was replaced with a three-spoke Corvette-style wheel from Flaming River. The slow power windows were swapped for new aftermarket parts from Electric Life, and the cable-operated external wipers were retrofit with Pacific Western Design's supertrick underdash RainGear wiper motor. Both were hooked up with relays so they work like those of a new car. Strope also spent an inordinate amount of time on the stuff that's not obvious but really makes for a top-notch car, like the brake lines, the wiring, and all the little detail items.
But the crowning touch, the genius move of the whole car build, was to bring in hot rodding legend Scott Sullivan to give it the flame job. Sullivan spent a week in SoCal designing and spraying the flames, and they turned out looking fantastic. The base color on the car looks black in photos (and usually in person too), but it is a very deep, dark purple. In bright sunlight this thing gets major attention, and now thanks to the new GM H.O. 454 from Scoggin-Dickey Parts Center, it can back up that attention with some smoky burnouts.
As sweepstakes giveaway cars go, this is one of the nicest we've seen, and possibly the best of them all. Whoever wins this car is going to be one lucky son of a gun.
The Flame Job
Deciding to put flames on the '57 was the easy part. Then we had to find someone who could do it on our timetable; that was the hard part. But during a conversation between publisher Pitt and former HOT ROD editor (now Car Craft staffer) Jeff Smith, the name Scott Sullivan came up. Smith still talks to Sullivan all the time, so they rang him up and asked if he'd fly from his Dayton, Ohio, home to California to burn our car. "Sure," Sullivan said.
For those of you too young to remember, Scott Sullivan is one of the biggest names in the street machine and Pro Street world. He has built several HOT ROD of the Year cars, starting back in the late '70s, but the most famous is the Cheez Whiz-orange '55 Chevy that he and Smith drove cross country back in 1989. What sets Sullivan apart from the rest is that his cars never seem dated. You could pull the Chevy II he did in the '70s and the '55 from the '80s into any car show today and they'd look contemporary. That's a hard act to pull off, but Sullivan has done it time and time again. Though he's mostly focused on motorcycles for the last decade, Sullivan showed he can still lay some killer licks on a Tri-Five.
Win Our Car
This whole project came about courtesy of Timber Wolf moist snuff, which put together a promotion in which six cars would be built as part of the Timber Wolf Speed Shop, and then consumers of Timber Wolf would be eligible to win all the cars. Up until November 1, you'll find a code under the lid of every Timber Wolf snuff can. Enter that code at www.twspeedshop.com, pick our '57 or one of the other five cars in the program, and estimate how much you think it will be worth once the transformation is complete. For a better estimate of its value, you can watch Web videos of each car's transformation and read this story as well as the ones in Street Rodder, Mopar Muscle, Corvette Fever, Mustang Monthly, and Car Craft. If you're the first person whose bid is on the money, the car is yours. Every lid's a bid. The more Timber Wolf lids you collect, the more estimates you get, and the more chances you have to win.

The 454 ran rough and made some death noises that turned out to be six wasted cam lobes. Due to the deadline, instead of rebuilding it we stabbed in a new GM H.O. 454 crate motor that we bought from Scoggin-Dickey Parts Center. What's up with that neon windshield wiper motor?Here's what the engine compartment looks like now. Quite a transformation, don't you think? The velocity stacks atop the Edelbrock dual-quad Air-Gap intake were cut and welded together so that now they're one piece. The distributor is an MSD Ready-to-Run unit and the Blaster coil was mounted under the dash.The dash turned out beautifully, especially the Classic Instruments gauge cluster. The steering column and dash trim are painted with Plastikote Rebuilder Cast Finish in Cast Gray.The interior wasn't bad, but check out the mismatched styles-billet gas pedal and steering wheel, ratchet shifter, and triple 2-inch gauges in an underdash panel. We could do better.Other than the flames, the biggest visual difference is in the interior. The Year One upholstery, installed by Eric Thorsen Custom Upholstery, is accented with a vintage-style Flaming River Corvette wheel. Pure Vision reused the billet gas pedal but spray-bombed it satin black.The heater box and some other holes on the firewall were covered with aluminum plate that was screwed in place, and it didn't look too hot. Pure Vision filled all the holes, then metal-finished the firewall and shot it with satin black.It's amazing the things you find when you tear a car apart. This pair of jeans was jammed into the vent duct under the dash, apparently to stop water from coming inside the car. Trick, huh?The ladder bar suspension and narrowed Ford 9-inch (with Currie axles) were reused but needed some serious detail work. Everything was rebuilt and powdercoated satin black. Dig the orange ladder bars.
Strope spent a lot of time bending all-new brake lines for the car. The master cylinder and booster are from Stainless Steel Brakes Corporation (SSBC), and the proportioning valve was mounted under the car on the framerail.To make the car nicer to drive, Pure Vision upgraded the front suspension to Global West upper and lower control arms and SSBC 2-inch drop spindles. The springs were in the car when we bought it, but Strope took an inch out of them to put the nose in the weeds.Three different types of sound deadener were used inside the '57. The heavy silver Dynamat was laid on the floors and inside the doors, and then DynaPad was laid on top of it. Dynamat is primarily a sound deadener while DynaPad is a four-layer composite barrier material that blocks heat and low-frequency sound. On the firewall and under the hood, DynaLiner was used. It's a lighter, peel-and-stick foamlike material that keeps heat out of the cabinThe car had power windows when we bought it but they ran awfully slow, so Strope replaced them with a new kit from Electric-Life.Pacific Western Design makes the RainGear wiper system, which hides out of sight under the dash. That allowed us to throw away the ugly orange wiper motor in the engine compartment.
Kelly Cox at Pure Vision made a radio-delete plate for the dash trim and epoxied it in place. The trim pieces are brushed stainless, but the borders were painted the same Cast Gray as the gauge cluster and steering column.When we learned that the original motor was junk, we put in a call to Scoggin-Dickey for a new GM H.O. 454, which came, not surprisingly, in a crate.The crate motor is a Gen VI design that comes with a truck oil pan, which won't clear the '57's steering linkage. We used a Milodon pan and pickup (PNs 30975 and 18302, respectively) instead.Pure Vision painted the long-block red to match the interior and then dropped it in the car before spraying the flames.The first step was to scuff the paint with 800-grit paper. The flames would stop on the doors, so the entire front end and both doors were scuffed.After laying down a white basecoat, Sullivan sprayed a Metalflake brand pearl white followed by Candy Aztec Gold, Candy Tangerine, and Candy Magenta to create the flames. The last step was a custom blue pinstripe around each flame. A detail gun added the highlights on the edges of the flames.
After clearcoat, the car was wet-sanded with 1,000-grit, then 1,500-grit, then finally 2,000-grit paper.The tail-high rake is intentional for that drag-race feel. The gold Chevrolet emblems didn't look right with the rest of the car, so they were replaced with chrome ones as used on a '56 Chevy. The wheels really help make the statement we were going after. They're Billet Specialties' 15x7 Altered design in the front and 15x12 Legacy models in the rear, with a gray textured powdercoating. The tires are from Hoosier, with 31x16.50-15 radial steamrollers in back and 26x7.5-15s in the front.

That is insane, does anyone else remember when these very first came to DVD and were like $100 a season? You young whippersnappers and your affordable sci-fi vidya discs...
Also, all nine seasons are available on Netflix instant streaming. Great deal though!
For the price of all seasons plus shipping, you could get Netflix or Amazon Prime for a year. Have tons more viewing content, plus the X-Files.
Yes, we all know about Netflix and Amazon Prime. I have Netflix and I love it. But a lot of people still like to have hard copies of their favorite shows. For me it's Breaking Bad and Mad Men, so I'm glad to see the prices on those sets starting to come down.
Sorry, nobody down here but the FBI's most unwanted.
I want to believe, that this is a good deal.
FYI, X-Files will be getting the full Blu-Ray remastering treatment (like Star Trek TNG) next year. But hey, $7 a season is way too good to pass up. I remember getting these for $40 apiece and they're worth every penny.
@randymilleriii: Great news! This showed scared the heck out of me when I was a kid, but these days the video quality kind of takes away from the atmosphere.
Expired, as the price is now listed as $30.99 for all of these.

GridView Refresh event not mentioned in API docs.
Hi there!
Well, it's not a real bug. However, this refresh event (Events.Refresh) fired by GridView definitely deserves it's place in API documentation. It's very (very!) useful event, because it's the only way I found so far to get notified that:
1) Data has been loaded and
2) Store is ready and,
3) View is ready.
I can use it, for example, to apply custom styles to grid rows or set some initial grid selection (I've done keeping selection between pages). Or, if it's a part of some hidden internal GXT API and I shouldn't use it anyway, there should be another way to achieve that goals.
Kind regards.
6 Oct 2010 2:08 AM #2to apply custom styles to grid rows
6 Oct 2010 2:25 AM #3
Anyway, even if I did that this way, I would still have to listen for some event that would allow me to do the initial job (eg. apply styles). And I'd also have to listen to some events that would let me know about add/remove. And at that point things would get ugly, because store fires such events, but GridView doesn't, so I'd not be notified when view is ready, thus unable to get to rows elements in the right time (I mean new row html element, for example).

I've inherited an interesting project. ST2.0 project built with Architect.
This project was upgraded to 2.1 using the inbuilt functionality of the new Architect.
What this left me with was the original /sdk/resources, /touch/resources, /resources and interestingly another folder ../resources (yes, in parent of app folder) that had another /touch/ folder just for good measure of confusion.
Architect had scattered the working config into a chaotic mess. Found out the old project aliased the styling build from the parent resource folder into the app resources to help with build speeds.
Likewise, I've 15 years in (mostly) front-end development working with majority of frameworks and backends. Untangling this project was becoming a nightmare. This post was a ray of enlightenment and the final piece to solving the gordian knot.
Many thanks.

One thing though...
How you've altered the import pathing for the sencha touch "compass extension" (http://compass-style.org/help/tutorials/extensions/)
@import 'sencha-touch/default/all';
// Points to the Sencha Touch theme load File.join(sass_path, '..', 'themes')
# This file registers the sencha-touch framework with compass # It's a magic name that compass knows how to find. dir = File.dirname(__FILE__) require File.join(dir, 'lib', 'theme_images.rb') # Include compass-recipes require File.join(File.dirname(__FILE__), 'vendor', 'compass-recipes', 'config') Compass::BrowserSupport.add_support('repeating-linear-gradient', 'webkit', 'moz', 'o', 'ms') Compass::Frameworks.register 'sencha-touch', dir
- "sencha-touch" becomes a registered framework extension for this project.
- images you've hard referenced via your config.rb file are originally included by this compass_init.rb and its referenced /themes/lib/theme_images.rb file.
- using as a framework extension makes "@import 'sencha-touch/default/all';" also work, and not require modification.
24 Mar 2013 11:14 PM #25
when I use the command compass compile It get the error
Line 23 of _button.scss: Undefined variable: "$base-gradient".
I have defined the variable "$base-gradient" in scss file.

I'd like to know, are there any equivalent verb classes in French for Levin's English verbs classes, especially for the class of motion verbs. How many motion verbs are there in French language? Where can I find a detail of all these verbs? Thanks a lot!
Sign up
- Anybody can ask a question

Jean Dubois and Françoise Dubois-Charlier have made a global semantic classification of the verbs in French, the reference site for this database is at their homepage (in French). It features a browsable version of the database and many information documents.
I am not familiar with Levin's classes, but this may be what you want. Regarding motion verbs, you may want to browse the generic classes "M: mouvement sur place", "E: entrée, sortie", "H: états physiques et comportements" and in certain cases "L: locatif".
However, remember that this classification can't be an exact equivalent, since English and French (motion) verbs follow two different paradigms¹, namely English is satellite-framed whereas (modern²) French is verb-framed. Basically, it means that "Running into X" is "Entrer dans X en courant" in French: in English the direction of movement is determined by the satellite (into) and the type of movement is determined by the verb ; it is the opposite in French. So any attempt to blindly apply a Levin-like classification to French verbs will fail.
¹ In Leonard Talmy's typology of framing. See his academic homepage to know every-bloody-thing about it. His original study was of motion events, so it should be of interest to you.
² It is not true of Old French and there are still traces of it in Modern French, see the remarkable article of Anetta Kopecka The semantic structure of motion verbs in French. Typological perspectives.

Data centres
NERC has a network of environmental data centres that provide a focal point for NERC's scientific data and information. These centres hold data from environmental scientists working in the UK and around the world. The data centres are responsible for maintaining environmental data and making them available to all users, not just NERC researchers but others from science, commerce, government and education as well as the general public.
It is essential that data generated through NERC supported activities are properly managed to ensure their long-term availability. The data centres are experts in the collection of scientific information, state-of-the-art data management and preservation techniques, resulting in a high quality and important national asset available to all.
The range of data held within the data centres is vast, covering all aspects of environmental science. Some centres also hold physical specimens and sample materials collected during NERC's activities, as well as material supplied by third parties (sometimes under statute).
These data holdings provide a resource for new research, investigating key environmental challenges such as climate change, supporting Government policy in areas like conservation of endangered species or managing water quality, supporting infrastructure development and commercial enterprise.
NERC supports seven data centres covering the following discipline areas:
- Marine - British Oceanographic Data Centre
- Atmospheric - British Atmospheric Data Centre (BADC)[1]
- Earth observation - NERC Earth Observation Data Centre (NEODC)[1]
- Solar and space physics - UK Solar System Data Centre (UKSSDC)[1]
- Terrestrial and freshwater - Environmental Information Data Centre
- Geoscience - National Geoscience Data Centre
- Polar and cryosphere - Polar Data Centre
In addition, NERC contracts the Archaeology Data Service to manage and make available data arising from NERC funded research in Science Based Archaeology.
The NERC Data Catalogue Service provides an integrated, searchable catalogue of the data holdings of NERC's data centres. It can be used to find information on what data the NERC data centres hold and how to access these data.
For general enquiries contact NERC's data management co-ordinator:
Mark Thorley
For all other queries contact the data centres directly.
- Note that the three data centres BADC, NEODC and UKSSDC form part of the Centre for Environmental Data Archival (CEDA) run jointly with the Science and Technology Facilities Council.

Ritchey. Designed to Win.
Ritchey products are born to conquer the toughest races---from the Tour de France to the Cape Epic in South Africa. Sure, like other companies, Ritchey employs state-of-the-art lab test machines to ensure our products meet or exceed CEN testing, but those tests only prove that your product can pass simulated lab tests. That's not enough. It's at World Class races where Ritchey products are truly tested to their limits and beyond. Real-world racing is honest. There's nowhere to hide. Either your gear is up to the task, or it isn't. Even by World Cup standards, the Cape Epic is exceptionally brutal on both bike and rider. There are miles of rock gardens, nearly endless sand dunes, and everything in between. Long, hot stages wear racers down. Things go wrong. You see parts break here that rarely break elsewhere.

Third-Seeded Men's Basketball Outlasts No. 7 Seed Coker to Reach SAC Tournament Finals
March 8, 2014
GREENVILLE, S.C. – The guard duo of Chandler Hash and CJ Gleaton combined for 76 points, as third-seeded Anderson outlasted No. 7 seed Coker, 100-89, in the semifinals of the 2014 Food Lion South Atlantic Conference Men's Basketball Tournament at Timmons Arena.
Anderson (22-8) has won four of its last five and will face will face top-seeded and 13Th-ranked Lincoln Memorial in the tournament championship contest, which is slated for 1:30 p.m. Sunday afternoon at Timmons Arena. The Trojans will be making their second appearance in the title contest since joining the league for the 2010-11 campaign.
Coker, bidding for its first appearance in the SAC Championship contest in the Cobras' inaugural season in the league, saw its season end with a 15-13 overall record.
Hash and Gleaton posted career highs of 44 points and 32 points, respectively, while Gleaton pulled down 10 rebounds for his ninth double-double of the season. Hash set a new SAC Tournament record by going 17-of-18 from the free throw line. Junior guard Myson Jones added eight points and shared game-high honors with five assists.
Guard Errick Bethel led four Cobras in double figures with 31 points, with Julian Nelson chipping in 16 points. Forward Eren Moses netted 14 points and 11 boards, while Trey Marshall scored 10.
The contest featured eight ties and 13 lead changes, including four before the first media break, with Anderson holding a narrow 10-8 edge with 15:51 on the clock.
Neither team was able to build more than a six-point lead in the first 17 minutes, with the Trojans gaining a 16-10 edge on Gleaton's second 3-pointer from deep in the left corner.
The Cobras forced a pair of turnovers and battled back to even the score at 18 apiece before Hash regained the lead for AU with a pair of free throws and followed a Coker miss with a jumper to boost the Trojans' advantage back to 22-18 with less than nine minutes left in the half.
Bethel's traditional three-point play at the 7:56 mark regained the lead for the Cobras and the two teams exchanged the lead twice before Dante Samuels' two free throws gave Coker a 27-24 advantage.
After the Trojans regained a brief one-point lead, Coker answered to push back out to a double-digit, 40-30, lead on a five straight from Bethel, before Hash drained a 3-pointer just before the buzzer to trim the Cobras' lead to 40-33 at intermission.
Anderson opened the second half with a 9-2 surge to reclaim a brief 43-42 lead before Bethel answered with a 3-pointer from the left with less than 17 minutes left in the game.
Hash and Gleaton combined to score seven straight for Anderson, as the Trojans claimed a 58-53 lead that they would not relinquish and AU pushed out to a 66-58 lead midway through the final half.
After AU opened its largest lead of the game at 76-64, Bethel's rare four-point play with 3:28 left in the game trimmed the Trojan lead to just four, but AU countered with six unanswered to push back out to a double-digit 92-82 lead and sealed the victory by connecting on five consecutive free throws in the final moments.

I have a huge file tree. Some files have same name but in different case, e.g. 'some_code.c' and 'Some_Code.c'.
So when I'm trying to copy it to NTFS/FAT filesystem it asks me about whether i'm gonna replace it or skip.
Don't you know is there any way to automaticly rename such files, for example, by adding '(1)' to the name of conflict file (like windows 7 does)?

One of the greatest adventures of all time comes to the screen this fall-shot entirely in 3D!
