Where did the Reapers come from, they are a species of machine, so how did they come to be? Were they built, or like the transformers, who just "grow"?
"Reaper? A label created by the Protheans to give voice to their destruction. In the end, what they choose to call us is irrelevant. We simply... are."
There is a lot of information about them here -- I'll copy the summary, but the whole page is worth a read (beware of the obvious spoilers of course)
Reapers were created I think about 2 billion years ago or 37 million years ago.
Anyhow, they were created by the Leviathan, an over-confident species that controlled most species through indoctrination, which was a talent they had by birth, as almost all the species that served them were just about slaves. They made note that the species that served them would make "synthetics" to help out.
These "synthetics" however, would usually rise up violently and destroy their creators, causing the Leviathans to lose precious slaves since synthetics couldn't be indoctrinated. So what they did was they made a synthetic solution of their own called the Catalyst.
The Leviathans created the Catalyst to help oversee organic and synthetic relationships. It was given a mandate by Leviathan to preserve organic life at any cost, but this would prove to be their downfall. The Catalyst gathered some pawns (kind of like the Collectors) and went across the galaxy watching relations and secretly gaining genetic material, and after a while it came to the conclusion:
Without warning the Catalyst attacked, slaughtered, and processed its creators into the first Reaper, we call HARBINGER. Some of the Leviathans managed to get away and hide until the final cycle, aka Mass Effect 3. But without any leadership or a guide whatsoever, the thrall species that once belonged to Leviathan became the next victims of the harvest.
This became the first harvest in Reaper history and was also the beginning of the Reaper cycle. The Catalyst decided to speed up the evolution of organic species by building the relays and the Citadel. The Catalyst hid itself in the citadel while Harbinger and the first true Reapers decided to hide in dark spaces. This would be the beginning of the cycle until the ending in Mass Effect 3 depending on your actions in-game.

Does anyone have idea for solution (for all non-zero numbers)?
$$\ x ≠ 0,y ≠ 0$$
$$\ f: R \setminus \{0\} → R$$
$$\ x \cdot f(xy)+f(-y)=x \cdot f(x)$$
Does anyone have idea for solution (for all non-zero numbers)?
$$\ x ≠ 0,y ≠ 0$$
$$\ f: R \setminus \{0\} → R$$
$$\ x \cdot f(xy)+f(-y)=x \cdot f(x)$$
I can solve this completely given the additional assumption that $f$ is continuously differentiable on its domain. I suspect that it's possible to relax this to merely "continuous", but you'll probably need some sort of niceness assumption to get anywhere.
If we set $x=1$, the functional equation becomes $$ f(y)+f(-y)=f(1) \, . $$ So the equation is equivalent to $$ x \, f(xy)-f(y)+f(1)=x \, f(x) \, , $$ which I will suggestively rewrite as $$ x[f(xy)-f(x)]=f(y)-f(1) \, . $$
Now, restrict to the case where $y$ is positive and set $y=1+\epsilon$. Since $f$ is differentiable, we can apply the mean value theorem to find $c_\epsilon \in [x, xy]$, $d_\epsilon \in [1, y]$ such that $$ f(xy)-f(x)=x \epsilon \, f'(c_\epsilon)\\ f(y)-f(1)= \epsilon f'(d_\epsilon) $$ (where we take the convention that interval endpoints are commutative: that is, if $a>b$, $[a,b]=[b,a]$).
So our equation becomes $$ x^2\epsilon f'(c_\epsilon)=\epsilon f'(d_\epsilon) \, . $$ But $f'$ is continuous by assumption, and we have $\lim_{\epsilon \to 0} c_\epsilon=x$, $\lim_{\epsilon \to 0} d_\epsilon=1$. So, passing to the limit, $$ x^2 f'(x)=f'(1) \, ; $$ that is, $f'(x)=\frac{C}{x^2}$ for all $x$ and some constant $C$, and so $f(x)=\frac{C}{x}+D$ for all $x$ and some constants $C,D$.
Now, we can plug this $f$ back into the original functional equation to find which values of $C,D$ actually work. After a little bit of algebra, we see that the left-hand side of the equation reduces to $D+Dx$, while the right-hand side reduces to $C+Dx$. So we must have $C=D$.
That is, the continuously differentiable $f$ which satisfy the equation are precisely those of the form $f(x)=C(1+\frac{1}{x})$ for some constant $C$.
Partial Solution
$$ x \cdot f(xy)+f(-y)=x \cdot f(x)$$
Multiplying by $y$ we get
$$ xy \cdot f(xy)+yf(-y)=xy \cdot f(x) \,.$$
We define a new function $g(t):= tf(t) $.
Then, the functional equation becomes
$$g(xy)-g(-y)=yg(x) \,.$$
In particular, we get
$$\frac{g(xy)-g(-y)}{xy+y}=\frac{g(x)}{x+1} \,.$$
It is easy to see that $g(-1)=0$. Thus, with the extra assumption that $g(t)$ is differentiable at $-1$, by setting $x \to -1$, we get that $g$ is differentiable at $-y$ and $g'(-y)=g'(-1)$. Let $g'(-1)=C$, then $g(t)= Ct+D$ for some constants $C,D$, and the functional equation Yields $c=d$.
I guess there doesn't lies any solution to this one . Replacing all y's by x. We get x∗f(x^2)+f(−x)=x∗f(x)....(1)in this equation if we put x=1,we get f(-1)=0 .So let us consider there lies a function Q(x) such that , f(x)=(x+1)Q(x). Replacing the f(x) in equation (1) we get one more equation, if we consider the lading coefficient of Q(x) be a1, and it be of degree n.....we see that n=0. so there doesn't lie a function as Q(x). we get f(x)=(x+1);which actually does't satisfy equation 1. so we conclude that f(x) is a constant function and is identically equal to zero.
ALTERNATIVELY considering the given functional equation if we differentiate both sides with respect to x we get

Escape antics of 'Houdini Horse' caught on video
Published: Tuesday, February 19, 2013 at 7:08 a.m.
Last Modified: Tuesday, February 19, 2013 at 7:08 a.m.
MIDLAND, Mich. (AP) — With her escape-artist antics now caught on video, a horse in Michigan is being dubbed the "Houdini Horse" thanks to her knack for opening stall doors.
The 9-year-old horse named Mariska somehow learned to open latches at Misty Meadow Farms near Midland in central Michigan.
The farm's co-owner, Sandy Bonem, posted a video online of the horse opening numerous locks. It catches how Mariska lets herself out, then unlocking stalls for other horses — just not her mother's.
As of Monday, the YouTube video had more than 760,000 views.
Bonem tells the Saginaw News that Mariska, "doesn't like to be locked in."
Bonem says Mariska played with things in her mouth when she was young, and "she just kind of progressed."

I recently heard the phrase "taking a bath with the crowd" and that apparently it's a common idiom in many European languages. I found several results for the phrase on Google, but none that explain what it means. Does anyone know what the phrase means, and if there's a common (American) English phrase that means the same thing?

Stéphane's suggestion, "to mingle with the crowd", may well reflect the intended meaning of the speaker of the phrase. But note that in English, the phrase "take a bath" often is associated with a stock-market loss (1, 2); since the European idiom is not well-known in the U.S., I'd expect American English speakers to either associate your phrase with taking a loss in the market (along with a crowd of other investors) or to interpret the phrase literally.
It means "to mingle with the crowd" or maybe a bit more faithfully to "immerse oneself in the crowd" (as suggested by StoneyB in the comments).
The original idiom is closer to "taking a bath of crowd" (in French at least). Just as if the world were a container filled with human beings.
It means "to suffer (take a bath) by doing what the crowd is doing" (in stocks, real estate, tulips, whatever). In my book, "A Modern Approach to Graham and Dodd Investing," I noted that every few years, lemmings will gather in large groups, "travel," and "upon reaching their destination, they will all jump into the sea, and of course, drown." The consolation for the fact that they all die is that "every lemming that dives into ocean gets to retire in the same style as every other lemming that does the same."

Star Trek: The Next Generation Complete Series on DVD for $139.99 + free shipping
On sale is Star Trek: The Next Generation Complete Series on DVD, which includes 176 episodes on 49 disk. May be eligible for combined or free shipping and handling.

For $140.00, unless you're dying to own it, at 7.99/month for Netflix, which has Star Trek TOS, ST-TNG, ST-Voyager, ST-DS9 and ST-Enterprise... Seems to be a bit better deal to go with Netflix or the like.
I strongly recommend waiting until a complete box set of the Blu-rays is available. The show looks MUCH BETTER in HD!
@charlesp2009: Have to agree with this. The bluray episodes that have been released so far look amazing, considering the age of the footage.

Job Placement in the Race Track Industry Program
By moniquegarcia on Tue, 08/13/2013 - 1:37pm
Support Increased Economic Opportunities and Improved Quality of Life in Rural America
Research Year:2005
Thirty-two years ago a need arose in the racing industry for employees who were college educated, with business skills and a more in-depth knowledge of all areas of the field. To help raise the quality of the industry and the education of its employees, the University of Arizona developed the Race Track Industry Program, one of the only such programs in the country.
Description of Action:
The Race Track Industry Program (RTIP) was established at the University of Arizona in 1974, primarily through the efforts of three industry leaders. The current advisory council, composed of racing industry leaders, directs and supports the program by identifying long range needs of the industry that can be met by the Race Track Industry Program. The bachelor of science degree program in Agriculture, with a Race Track Industry Program Option, includes an overview of the racing industry, and courses in race track management and marketing, animal care and management, and legal issues/racing laws. The 2005/2006 academic year marks the first time a non-thesis masters degree has been available within the RTIP business-based curriculum.
Students choose an emphasis in Business or Animal Management. The business path is structured for students planning careers in management, marketing or regulation. The animal management path is for students interested in training, sales, the breeding industry, or farm management. Each year qualified upperclassmen are placed as student interns within a broad spectrum of North American and foreign racing, breeding and racing-related organizations. Students also participate in the program's annual Symposium on Racing, held each December since 1974. Students organize and manage this event, where they have the opportunity to meet and interact with many of the pari-mutuel industry's best-known and respected leaders. The RTIP conducts an accreditation program for officials who oversee racing (stewards and judges) throughout the country.
The demand for RTIP graduates continues as reflected by the 90 percent who gain employment in the racing industry immediately upon graduation. Graduates hold positions of chief executive officer, chief financial officer, general manager, mutuel director, simulcast coordinator, director of marketing, editor, executive director, steward, judge, racing secretary and trainer at tracks across North America and the world.
The minium impact of the annual student-run Symposium on Racing and its more than 900 attendees on the local Tucson economy is $2.8 million, according to a recent study.
"The University of Arizona Race Track Industry Program provided the great education, internship opportunities and the professional contacts that launched my career in the Standardbred industry." –Administrator, Maryland Standardbred Race Fund
"I got a job in racing immediately after I'd finished my course work. Most of my classmates had the same experience." –Director of Communications, National Thoroughbred Racing Association.

Note on Revisions: This appears to be a bit more widespread than I thought. I had originally asked about the code-golf. Then added the code-review. Then I saw tex...
Discussion Question: Is it useful to preserve tags on Stack Overflow with the name of another Stack Exchange site?
Related Feature Request: Short of migrating / closing a bajillion questions could tags which are directly related to a newly spawned Stack Exchange site show up with a small lock icon next to their name -- or just a moderator-only tag or something -- and then update the tag excerpt to note the new site?
Background: It appears that questions are still coming in for several tags where a site exists with that exact name. I realize that the standard practice is to not migrate old questions. However, almost all of these tags have new questions. See the 'sort by newest' links below. For example:
code-golf (currently has 212 questions) Sort by newest. Code Golf Faq
code-review (currently has 655 questions) Sort by newest. Code Review Faq
tex (currently has 177 questions) Sort by newest. Tex Faq
ubuntu (currently has 3179 questions) Sort by newest. Ask Ubuntu Faq
statistics? (Maybe)
- gaming?
- unix or linux?
- quantitative-finance?
It's my opinion that the ability for users to create questions with these tags is just creating more work for the moderators, question-flaggers, etc to eventually migrate these recent questions when it could be fairly straightforward to make these moderator-only (I realize that none of the main sites currently have moderator-only tags).
One last note:
I'd prefer not to bring tag synonym / merging questions into the fray here. For example, the challenges, review, latex, etc. tags could be of questionable use on Stack Overflow, but I'd prefer to stick only to tags which, by name, denote another Stack Exchange site.

text: Okay, remember when I said that I wasn't going to do a lot more easy lessons? Well I'm sorry to say, but I have to put up three more because I promised some members that I would get them up. The first is going to be how to draw an easy snake, step by step. Snakes in general are pretty simple to draw. The only thing that can get a bit confusing when drawing them out, is the 's' like shape of their slithering body. There is a ton of ways you can draw snakes easily, and I am going to show you how to do just that. This is a great tutorial for novice or young artists to tackle because the difficulty level is really low. The hardest part is probably going to be the mouth in my own opinion, but you may actually run into your own brick wall. Everybody learns how to draw differently, and just because you have a very helpful lesson to learn from, that doesn't mean you will get the hang of it right away. In general I believe that you should be able to draw an easy snake without developing any kind of brain hemorrhage. I mean after all, it's just a simple looking snake with a slithering tongue. I'll be back soon guys with those other easy tutorial requests so stay tuned in. Peace out peeps!

SALT LAKE CITY — Overstock.com reported net revenue of $293.2 million for the second quarter ended June 30, a 22% increase from $239.5 million for the same quarter last year. The growth in net revenue was primarily due to a 21% increase in average order size.
The company's gross profit for the quarter was $57.8 million, a 34% increase from $43.2 million for the second quarter last year. The increase in gross profit was primarily due to higher revenue, a shift in product sales mix into higher margin home and garden products, and lower warehousing costs, partially offset by higher freight costs.
The company's net income was $3.7 million for the quarter, an increase of $3.2 million from $470,000 for the second quarter last year.
Overstock.com is an online discount retailer based in Salt Lake City, Utah, which sells a broad range of products including furniture, rugs, bedding, electronics, clothing, jewelry and cars.

How do you play the trill in measure 29 of Beethoven's moonlight sonata?
I would play it like this (the image came out kind of big...):
You can play the lower A# quite short to avoid tension (if it suits your interpretation, of course). For me the most natural fingering is 4-5-4-3-4-5 in the upper voice, although 3-5-3-2-3 works, too, and might be easier if your hand is big and/or 4th finger weak.
There's a similar trill a couple bars later, which I find much harder. The fingering 4-5-4-3-4-5 works there, too, or you may try 5-3-5-3-5-4 or something similar. In both cases it helps to play the first note of the trill a bit longer and stronger than the others, and it works musically, too.
Beethoven always started his trills on the upper note (documented here), unlike modern practice. This would come out more fluent coming onto the G#. Although Nonpop's example could work, it's not normal to start and end on the same note. A better interpretation would be

FILE--In this April 30, 2012 file photo, Syrian security forces, background, hold their machine guns and surround anti-Syrian regime mourners, foreground, during the funeral procession of the activist Nour al-Zahraa, 23, who was shot by the Syrian security forces on Sunday, in Kfar Suseh area, in Damascus, Syria. The swaggering gunmen operate as hired muscle for the Syrian regime, clutching rifles and daggers as they sweep through towns and villages, seeking vengeance on enemies of Bashar Assad. Recruited from the ruling elite's Alawite sect, the militiamen known as "shabiha" carry out some of the most ghastly attacks of Syria's violent conflict, allowing the regime to deny any direct responsibility. Witnesses have blamed shabiha for the Houla massacre in late May. (AP Photo, File)
BEIRUT (AP) -- Secretary of State Hillary Rodham Clinton has made an overture to Russia in an attempt to get Syria's most important ally on board with an effort to stop the deadly violence in that country. A senior State Department official says Clinton called Foreign Minister Sergei Lavrov (SEHR'-gay LAHV'-rahf) to try to persuade a reluctant Russia to engage diplomatically in coming up with a solution to end the bloodshed.
The official, who provided details of the private discussion on condition of anonymity, said they both agreed on the need to work together.
Russia has refused to support any move that could lead to foreign intervention in Syria, Moscow's last significant ally in the Middle East. Russia, along with China, has twice used its veto power to shield Syria from U.N. sanctions.
BEIRUT (AP) -- The Syrian violence has spilled over into neighboring Lebanon, where a gun battle has killed seven and wounded 22, according to security officials.
Officials say pro- and anti-Syrian groups clashed in Northern Lebanon starting last night and the fighting intensified today.
Activists also report fresh shelling in central Syria, where a massacre last week left more than 100 dead and enraged the international community.
The fighting in Lebanon has raised fears of an escalation in sectarian tensions there.
Lebanon and Syria share a complex web of political and sectarian ties and rivalries, which are easily enflamed. Clashes in Tripoli last month killed at least eight people.
BRUSSELS (AP) -- The U.N.'s top human rights official says there should be no amnesty for crimes committed in Syria, even if potential prosecution might motivate members of the regime to cling to power at all costs.
Asked Saturday by The Associated Press if she would oppose an agreement for Syrian President Bashar Assad to leave power in exchange for safe haven, U.N. High Commissioner for Human Rights Navi Pillay said international leaders may be drawn to "politically expedient solutions which may involve amnesty or undertakings not to prosecute."
But she insisted there cannot be amnesty for very serious crimes.
Lawyers for former Liberian President Charles Taylor, sentenced Wednesday to 50 years in prison, had argued that giving him a long sentence would send the wrong message to Assad.
SINGAPORE (AP) -- France says it will only participate in military action in Syria under a United Nations mandate.
French Defense Minister Jean-Yves Le Drian told an Asian security summit Sunday that the international community should increase sanctions and pressure in an effort to oust Syrian President Bashar Assad. An anti-government uprising has raged for more than a year in Syria.
U.S. Senator John McCain on Saturday urged the Obama Administration to arm Syrian rebels and create safe zones. Russia is an ally of Assad and has squashed attempts at U.N. action in Syria.
Le Drian said that a meeting Friday between French President Francois Hollande and Russian President Vladimir Putin "doesn't make it possible to think the veto will be lifted tomorrow morning."

Is there a way I can adjust contrast/brightness of the card (VGA) output when using the open source xorg radeon driver? I have a monitor that has poor image quality when its tweaked using it's knobs, and the only way I can get good image is to tweak it from the graphic card. I was using the proprietary fglrx until now, but i want to switch to radeon.
Using xcalib:
That's what I need to do to watch hulu with the radeon driver. Previously with amdcccle I had to up the top slider to 1.45 instead of 1.0 for roughly the same brightness so the shows are not so dark. An HD4550 in my case. And recently switched given that the latest (6 months old) ati legacy driver works on 3.4 or older kernels, and debian sid runs a 3.9 version at the moment.
Surprisingly 3D support on this legacy model seems on par with the proprietary driver with the radeon driver. Although re-installing the non-proprietary parts was a bit of a pain to undo the proprietary changes. Pros and cons as I wont have to re-install the proprietary driver every time there's a new kernel or mesa3d (libGL) update from this point forward.

Adam Bien, who is not only a Java Champion and JavaOne Rock Star, but was named in 2010 as Oracle Magazine's Java Developer of the Year, spoke to an enthusiastic crowd where he addressed some core issues about Java EE. He encouraged questions – "The more heretical or offensive the better." It was obvious that Bien loves to think about and code in Java. He remarked, "The more I code the happier I am". Spoken like a hard-core Java developer!
First, he asked, "What is Java EE? Innovation vs. Standardization"? For Bien, Java EE is nothing but a release of co-existing APIs. Before Java EE, there was a mess with lots of application servers, with absolutely no chance of finding two application servers with similar APIs. Java EE resulted in a huge simplification. Now with Java EE 7 a wealth of are applications available. Java EE, insisted Bien, was never about innovation because building a standard precludes innovation. "Java EE will always lag behind," he observed. "For instance, Hibernate will always have more features than JPA. Spring will always have more features than CDI. Java EE is the 80% that makes products work. It was never about innovation."
He boiled down the whole point of Java EE: "What matters are small WARs – the smaller the WAR, the faster the build and deployment. The faster the build and deployment, the more productive you become," he insisted. He explained that Java EE enables you to not put everything into the WAR and place as much as possible on the application server and less on the WAR. He explained that most of his WARs in Java EE 6 or Java EE 7 projects are very small
Bien asked, "Are EJBs bloated?" He explained that the question implies some voodoo stuff behind the scenes making EJBs bloated. He offered a means to answer this question.
He went on to answer a wealth of questions in a way that was thoughtful, incisive, witty and, at times, a bit provocative.
Here's some of the topics/issues (pulled directly from his slides) that Adam touched on in this fast-paced session:
*Do we need transactions?
*Is Dependency Injection Black Magic, VooDoo, or both?
*Is EJB pooling needed? Are EJBs bloated? What happens, if you violate the EJB programming restrictions?
*Why AOP didn't take off in Java EE?
*Stateless vs. Stateful programming model?
*HA without a Cluster?
*Are there any POJOs out there? What happens during deployment?
*Is Java EE faster than J2EE? Does JMS 2.0 scale and perform well? Is Java EE only suitable for the "big" enterprise?
*Is JSF the silver bullet? What is the deal with CORBA and RMI?
*How to unit test Java EE applications? Why we don't build a best of breed server from scratch?
This was a lively, entertaining and information-packed session. Just what you would expect from a pro developer as Adam Bien. I highly recommend viewing this session.

Does the size of the output double for two users. How about 10 or 100 users?
If I encrypt a file for multiple users how does the file size change?
Does the size of the output double for two users. How about 10 or 100 users?
GPG encrypts the file once with a symmetric key, then places a header identifying the target keypair and an encrypted version of the symmetric key. The intricate details of that are defined in section 5.1 of RFC 2440. When encrypted to multiple recipients, this header is placed multiple times providing a uniquely encrypted version of the same symmetric key for each recipient.
Thus, file size growth for each recipient is small and roughly linear. Some variation may exist for key length and padding so it's
In the OpenPGP format (that's the protocol PGP and GnuPG implement), a message is encrypted by first compressing it, then using symmetric encryption with a random key K; K is then encrypted with the public key of each of the recipient.
The compression step tends to reduce the size of the data, or not, depending on the data type (ASCII text compresses well, JPG pictures do not). Symmetric encryption increases the size by only a very small amount (like 20 bytes or so).
For each recipient, a "Public-Key Encrypted Session Key Packet" is added (see section 5.1 of OpenPGP). The size of such a packet depends on the public key type and length for that recipient; for instance, for a 2048-bit RSA key, that packet should have length 271 bytes (for 2048-bit ElGamal, that would be 529 bytes).
Finally, if the encrypted file is to be included in an email, it will be usually "ASCII-armored", i.e. encoded in Base64 (so that it travels unscathed through mail servers which expect text, not binary data); Base64 encoding increases the data length by +33%.
Bottom-line: size increase per recipient depends on the recipient key but not on the original file size. Size increase should be less than 1 kB per recipient.

In Battlefield 3 (as I guess also in other FPSes) one of the most difficult things to do (at least to me) is aiming correctly when unexpectedly encountering enemies.
I mean, I can even react quickly on a sudden enemy encounter, but often I realize that within the kill-or-be-killed frenzy in that very moment I lose control and waste most of the ammo on the environment instead to effectively focus on the real target.
And all this even if I truly engage myself and strive to aim correctly.
Are there any techniques or tips you would give to get better under this aspect? I'm on the 360 version, should that eventually matter.

In a reviewing mood so bear with me
Reading the back of the box it said "every cool thing you've seen a sniper do in a WW2 movie is in this game" or words to that effect. And while I think that statement is a gross misdirection that had me thinking "Enemy at the Gates" and "Saving Private Ryan", the game is actually pretty damn good.
I was hesitant in buying it due to the abomination that was "Sniper" for the PS2, a fair few years ago now but the atrociousness of that game has stuck with me. It was appallingly, embarrassingly bad.
But given that game technology has come a long way since that atrocity, and that this game is by Rebellion Games, I decided to give it a shot (pun intended).
You are basically an American tasked with stopping German V2 scientists falling into the Red Army's hands in the dying days of WW2. The story is pretty thin, and a little ridiculous, and the gravelly-voiced narrator for your character is unintentionally comedic, but that's all secondary to the game: it's about shooting as many people as possible while staying undetected for as long as possible. And the game does this extremely well.
The game is about stealth, and lining up nice clean headshots from long distance while sneaking around various maps, including demolished Berlin streets, secret V2 rocket facilities etc. You can't go all gung-ho – the game makes sure of this by making your secondary weapons (Thompson machine gun, MP40, Lugers, Colt 45's etc) have very limited ammo, while your sniper rifle gets the lion's share of the bullets you can carry.
The sniping is absolutely first rate. Once you've lined up the perfect shot, held down aim, and fired, if you pull off a perfect shot you get this nice "bullet-cam" that follows the bullet as it trails toward your target, then goes into "x-ray vision" so you can see your bullet tear through lungs, smash bones, shred muscles…it's a very nice effect. And you use fairly high-powered WW2 rifles, so you can get the added awesomeness of taking out two guys with one bullet. Excellent.
Another very cool thing is that you can use long-range binocular vision to scout out enemy strongpoints and "tag" enemies, which becomes especially useful if you are detected, and have to run and hide like a sissy, because you can see the little red tag arrows and know when the enemies that have spotted you are getting close. It also provides some very dramatic "movie" moments, like the sweet feeling of spotting an enemy sniper hunkered down in an attic before he spots you, lining up a headshot, and then whacking him right between the eyes. There was a psychotic smile plastered on my face through most of this game.
The level design is also pretty cool. It's fairly on-rails and corridor, but does a decent job of hiding it in most levels. It takes a lot of patience, but the game rewards patience, like my favourite level – sneaking into a highly protected facility by using the loud sounds of a smelter and a loudspeaker to mask the sounds of your shots. The level took me about 2 hours to complete, but every moment was nail biting.
The mechanics are very well done too. I usually find the switch to first person in third person shooters quite jarring, but in this game I barely noticed. Sometimes the "disappearing wall" thing as you turn the camera around is a bit distracting, but it's a minor complaint in an otherwise very well done game.
It ain't perfect, but it's done the trick to satisfy my need to blow people away while I wait for Far Cry 3 and Medal of Honor: Warfighter.

The 11 Most Unnecessary 'How To' Guides on the Web
Who says there's nothing useful on the Internet? From Yahoo Answers to the countless How-To sites, the web is full of non-experts telling you how to do everything from change a muffler to castrate a llama.
But some of these "how-tos" seem so grossly unnecessary, we're wondering if these people aren't just getting paid by the word.
#11. How to Use Kitchen Scissors
This guide is there to save those of us who didn't take those scissors operation classes in college.
Most Important Step:
Step 2: "Put the scissors in the kitchen in an easily accessible place."
Well, that makes sense. Because despite being the best place to store stuff, it turns out it would be a pain in the ass to run to the attic every time you needed your kitchen scissors.
The article goes on to recommend situations where your newfangled kitchen scissors can come in handy. Such as:
"Chopping up whole tomatoes from a can."
Okay, they're clearly fucking with us at this point. You've got some poor sap who needs an Internet guide to use scissors, and you're going to set them to cutting "whole tomatoes" with them? That's like making hood surfing part of the driver's test.
Also, "Cutting pizza wedges."
No, WikiHow. Just fucking no.
Most Important Tip:
Under the "Things You'll Need" heading, the first bullet point is "kitchen scissors." See, this is what the Internet should be for, people.
Most Important Warning:
"To avoid the temptation of using the kitchen scissors for cutting paper or any other household object beyond kitchen preparation, it is a helpful idea to place a second pair of scissors in an accessible location that will stop others from taking off with the kitchen pair."
That's right. Because the biggest concern regarding kitchen scissors would have to be the temptation involved. Forget the midget hooker with the bottle of Jose, because we're really not sure we can resist cutting out paper snowflakes with our exclusive-ass kitchen scissors.
Related Article You're Likely To View Next:
"How to cut glass."
We're guessing you have to avoid the temptation, and use something other than kitchen scissors.
#10. How to Snap Your Fingers
Let's face it, snapping your fingers is one of those skills where if you can't do it by now, reading a guide probably won't help you.
Most Important Steps:
Step 1: Choose the hand you want to snap with.
Can't argue with that. Trying to learn both hands at the same time might be a bit much.
So far, so good.
Step 2: Have your index finger meet at your thumb about halfway to the top.
Wait, index finger? Ummm, like this?
Step 3: Quickly slide your index finger down the bony part of your thumb.
... What the fuck?
Seriously, how did they fuck this one up that badly?
Most Important Tip:
"Make sure your fingers are slightly moist."
Oh, shit. No. Freaking. Way. Courtesy of WikiHow, we are now going to teach every girl we meet how to snap their fingers. That's right, make 'em moist first, ladies, and then Cracked will show you how it's done.
Most Important Warning:
"Don't annoy people, because they can get very upset or mad."
But they won't get mad if we get two dozen of our friends together and snap our fingers in unison, West Side Story-style, right?
Related Article You're Likely To View Next:
"How to perform a Finger Trick."
We've got to assume that eases you in with Gun Fingaz and works you up to the detachable thumb thing.
#9. How to Remove a Staple From Your Hand
Forget WebMD, whenever we staple our hand the first thing we do is jump on WikiHow to find out how to remove that bastard.
Most Important Step:
The steps in this article are really limited to extracurriculars, like washing the stapled area, using antibiotic cream, bandaging the wound, etc. It suggests reapplying soap as needed, in case you were stuck on that point.
Then, at step two, WikiHow blithely instructs you to "remove the staple."
You sons of bitches!
Most Important Tip:
"Even though running up to people and showing them the staple can be fun many will not enjoy it."
You know, our middle school principal told us the same thing, but our classmates thought it was awesome.
Most Important Warning:
"Do not try to remove the staple without soap or another lubricant... "
Two steps ahead of you, WikiHow, since it was when reaching for our bottle of KY we keep in the desk drawer when we accidentally stapled our hand in the first place. Still, the "... or another lubricant" seems to be leaving a lot of dangerous leeway for somebody who had to go to the Internet to figure out how to get a staple out of a body part. Lard? Axle grease? Motor oil?
No! Staples feed on Motor Oil!
Related Article You're Likely To View Next:
"How to Treat a Wound."
Because in the world of WikiHow injuries, it either falls under "Staple in the Hand," or it's just another wound. So if we wind up stapling our balls to our thigh, which article do we read?
#8. How to Organize Your Vast Collection of Pens
Oh, hell yes. If you've had a huge line of male sexual partners, this one will help you organize all those...
Oh, wait. It says "Pens."
Most Important Step:
Step one starts with the words "If you don't have a collection..." Which are most likely intended for the readers who've yet to own a sloppy stack of pens, and merely wish to prepare themselves for the day that embarrassment rears its ugly head.
Step two instructs you to "look for pens in that messy room of yours." That's right, after sitting in your bushes, WikiHow is now in your closet, and knows about the pens "lying around under your bed" and "inside those filthy shoes."
The rest is pretty straightforward, with instructions to acquire some pen cases, and some organization info regarding the different types of pens (i.e. ballpoint pens, gel pens, 0.7, glitter pens, vibrating dick pens, "I Hate WikiHow" pens, etc.).
Finally, you can display your collection! Flaunt your pens! Watch your peers be utterly crushed by jealousy!
Most Important Tip:
It reminds us that "it's okay if the pen doesn't have ink," because "the first thing a person sees is the outside of the pen, not the ink." Sounds like that was written by a dude who was shooting blanks.
Most Important Warning:
WikiHow cautions readers on the risks involved with doing all of this on your bed, for the "ink caps" may come off and "stain the bed sheet."
Yeah... this is definitely not an article about pens.
Related Article You're Likely To View Next:
"How to Keep Gel Pens from Running out of Ink."
We like to think that one includes one line: "Don't fucking use them, asshole."
#7. How to Change Television Channels
Have those confusing channel buttons had you watching the same TV station your whole life? Well, assuming you can read (which you almost certainly can't if you don't understand how buttons work... ) you're in luck!
Most Important Step:
After the part where they walk us through what those weird symbols over the buttons on the common remote mean, we get this:
Step 7: "Some TVs are very old in witch [sic] case you have to get up and turn the the dial(s) to the desired number."
So if you're seventy-years-old, know how to use the Internet and hunted down WikiHow because you've been watching the same channel since you bought your TV in 1950... well, we'd venture to say that you are part of a very select demographic.
Most Important Tip:
"Keep practicing!"
We will, WikiHow. For days and nights, weeks and months, just for you. Because your articles mean that much to the Internet.
Most Important Warning:
This how-to warns you not to "show off in front of your friends," because "nobody likes a gloater." Plus, that ranks right up there with "pen flaunting" in the list of "Most Successful Pick-Up Techniques."
"That's right, Mom, he changed all the channels. I think I'm gonna marry him."
Related Article You're Likely To View Next:
"How to create 3D television."
Holy shit, that seems like a rather large jump on the scale of technological know-how for Grandma up there...
#6. How to Fly in Your Dreams
Don't even lie, you know this one piqued your interest.
Most Important Step:
Apparently flying in your dreams starts with getting your brain used to the experience of flying. So these steps consist of helpful suggestions like "ride a skateboard," "swing on a swing set," "watch birds" and, most dubiously, "watch Peter Pan."
Most Important Tip:
The article suggests you "be patient if this doesn't work the first few times" and that you "don't feel bad if it takes more than just a few weeks to accomplish these dreams." And really, what's so bad about watching Peter Pan and swinging on a swing set hour-after-hour for a few measly weeks?
The "Tips" section also offers that you "be creative" in your flight-producing techniques. Might we humbly suggest jumping off of something very tall?
Most Important Warning:
"Pessimism won't help you..."
Yeah, make sure to smile, and enjoy all that Peter Pan on the swing set. Because really, are you going to second guess Wiki-Freaking-How?

TEMPLE (October 9, 2012)—A Temple man who police say attempted to elude officers was arrested Sunday on a warrant charging him with burglary of an habitation.
Henry Laabs, 30, was ordered held on bonds totaling $251,500, charged with burglary of a habitation with intent to commit another felony and possession of marijuana.
Officers were sent Sunday evening to an address in the 800 block of North 10th Street after a caller reported a violent domestic disturbance.
The victim fled the scene to a neighbor's home and locked the door, but the attacker followed her and forced his way into the residence.
Police said the attacker assaulted the victim and left the scene before officers arrived.
Investigators identified a suspect and obtained a warrant for his arrest.
Officers located Laabs at his residence in the 800 block of South 3rd Street when he arrived home but when Laabs saw police, he fled on foot, police said.
He was captured without further incident a short time later, hiding in tall grass.

The Pratt High School boys basketball team looked as though they might be able to break into the winners circle on Tuesday at home against rival Kingman, but the Eagles seized control of the game in the 4th quarter and were able to post a 56-46 victory over the Greenbacks.
Pratt got out to a 16-8 lead in the opening frame, but Kingman pressure led to several Greenback turnovers in the 2nd quarter and Kingman had cut the deficit to 27-24 at the break.
Pratt went cold in the third quarter, and Kingman hit some tough shots. The Eagles took their first lead of the night, 30-29, at the 3:18 mark of the third quarter. The teams battled on even terms for several minutes at that point, the lead changing hands 4 or 5 times until the 6 minute mark of the deciding stanza when a Garrett Smith lay-up gave Pratt the lead for the final time, 38-37.
Over the final 6 minutes, Kingman put together a 19-8 run that allowed them to pocket the 56-46 victory. Many of the Kingman scores down the stretch were off high percentage shots under the basket by players who had been left open by the Frog defense.
"We played well in the first half," PHS head coach David Swank observed, "but in the second half, we had too many defensive breakdowns. We gave up too many lay-ups. We didn't rotate well enough on defense and were leaving players open under the bucket."
Another issue for Pratt was inconsistent offense. About the only constant offensively for PHS was Chase Hageman, who scored in every quarter for a total of 15 points. No other Greenback was even close to being in double figures, and outside shooting, especially in the second half, was cold.
"The key to our offense is execution," said Swank. "We're young. It's going to take some time for everyone to get to know each other. Our offense will get better."
0-5 Pratt has one more pre-holiday game Thursday at Hays.

text: If you are a fan of Disney's recreation of 'The Jungle Book', you should also be a fan of the tiger that tries to eat Mowgli. Today I will be showing you "how to draw Shere Khan", step by step. He is one mean tiger that has a desire to kill the man cub (Mowgli) and any other animal or beast that gets in his way. Shere Khan is probably one of the meanest villains I was introduced to when I was a kid. I must have had all the Disney VHS tapes growing up as a child and those same tapes where passed down to two more siblings before they became obsolete. The Jungle Book is by far one of my favorite films. Mowgli, Bagheera, and Baloo. Of course we can't forget about Raksha, who is the mother wolf that found Mowgli and raised him like one of her own cubs. Drawing Shere Khan is going to be fun because it's always entertaining making new drawings on tigers. Besides, don't you think that drawing another Jungle Book character is overdo? Have fun people and remember to leave some comments and favs of you like. Adios peeps.

Young Frankenstein [Blu-ray] for $5.99 + free shipping
Lending his burlesque touch to 1970s genre revision, Mel Brooks followed his hit "western" Blazing Saddles with this parody of 1930s Universal horror movies. Determined to live down his family's reputation, Dr. Frederick Frankenstein (co-screenwriter Gene Wilder) insists on pronouncing his name "Fronckensteen" and denies interest in replicating his grandfather's experiments. But when he is lured by Frau Blucher (Cloris Leachman) to discover the tantalizingly titled journal "How I Did It" in his grandfather's castle, he cannot resist. With the help of voluptuous Inga (Teri Garr), wall-eyed assistant Igor (Marty Feldman), and a purloined brain, Frankenstein creates his monster (Peter Boyle). Igor, however, stole the wrong brain, and the monster tears off into the countryside, encountering a little girl and a blind hermit (Gene Hackman).

"What knockers!"
Frau Blucher
Thank you, Froderick.
Anybody else like the appearance of Dr. Frankenstein and Igor on One Upon A Time? I like the thought of Dr. Frankenstein in league with Rumpelstiltskin. But I kept wanting Frankenstein to say "excuse me, the name is FrankenSTEEN."
Same movie every two weeks,same old quotes from the movie,ain't this fun !
@nanaejt: Well, it is a great movie.
"My grandfather's ideas were dodo!"
@rak0ribz: Was/is a good movie but just like a good joke, it does not have to be retold every two weeks on Woot.
@nanaejt: Yes it does.
@mtm2: Maybe,if you're the type of person who asks, "did you hear the joke about the monkey on the bus" and the person says "yes, you told me two weeks ago" and you tell the joke anyway. I assume you or someone else will post a deal on Blazing Saddles in the next day or two. Maybe they will be trying to earn a $5 Woot coupon by reposting the same old same old.
There Wolf! There! There! There!
Whew, I was worried we wouldn't get a link to a cheap copy of Y.F. ;) although $4.99 is the usual great price. Hey! I haven't seen a good link to Blazing Saddles this week..........;)
@nanaejt: Maybe I'll go look for one just so you have something else to complain about. I see that's your purpose in life, log in and whine about other folks posts.
Have a great Woot! day anyway!
@mtm2: LOL,now you hurt my feelings,keep posting these great deals. Did you hear the joke about the monkey on the bus?
@nanaejt: I did, but the mods wouldn't like the story as I heard it.
"Free shipping" is not really the same as "In Store Pickup Only", which is what it keep coming up as for me :P
@muse2r: That's because now it's "in-store only"
The title says $5.99, but it's $6.99 on Fry's site. Free shipping does work though.

Welcome to CSUN Sustainability
Sustainability at California State University Northridge is a campus wide effort that requires involvement from everyone at the University.

Top Activity-Based Video Games
2 of 6
Shaun White Snowboarding (Wii)
This game is available for several video game systems, but only the Wii version takes advantage of Nintendo's unique Balance Board. Because the Balance Board can sense where your weight is distributed, it allows you to steer your virtual snowboarder using the same techniques you would in real life. Best of all, it's cheaper than a lift ticket!

By Jason Charles | Truth Alliance | May 4, 2012
Is chaos on the Sini exactly what Israel and the U.S. want on the African Continent? And does Soros plan to bring this same exact violence to America?
America and NATO led coalitions have deposited 1000's of mercenary al-Qaeda militants in the sini region and are now being cited by the IDF as reason to call up reserve soldiers to deal with the security issues they are now causing.
The Times of Israel recently reported that the IDF is calling up as many as 22 battalions of reserve soldiers to deal with security issues on the Israeli border citing an attack on the North of Eilat in which 8 Israelis were killed.
"An IDF spokesperson said intelligence assessments called for the deployment of more soldiers. An army statement highlighted last August's infiltration from the Sinai north of Eilat in which eight Israelis were killed, and said the subsequent division of that area into two distinct military zones necessitated additional manpower... Rising tensions between Israel and Egypt and the ongoing unrest in Syria caused the army to ask the Knesset for special permission to call up more soldiers, more often. The Foreign Affairs and Defense Committee approved the request recently, enabling the IDF to summon up to 22 battalions for active duty for the second time in three years. Already, the army has called up six of them. - Times of Israel"
The BBC article describing this violent attack against Israelis in Eilat, ironically depicts the culprits as "Pakistani militants" that have been active in the region since the ousting of American Dictator Mubarak during the Arab Spring revolution.
"Israel says militants have become active in the region since former Egyptian President Hosni Mubarak was overthrown in February 2011.
In August 2011, an armed group crossed the border into Israel from the Sinai peninsula and killed eight Israelis.
Israel blamed Palestinian militants but five Egyptian policemen were killed as Israeli forces pursued the gunmen, sparking a diplomatic row between the two countries. - BBC"
These militants are admittedly there on behalf of NATO led forces and were used to back the Egyptian Arab Spring, and also was used to literally murder Libyan President Muammar Gaddafi. These same forces now aid the Syrian opposition forces in the region and was made plain during an interview with Secretary of State Hilary Clinton in March.
"In an interview with BBC News (watch video), Clinton states, "We have a very dangerous set of actors in the region, Al-Qaeda, Hamas, and those who are on our terrorist list, to be sure, supporting – claiming to support the opposition [in Syria]."
Clinton's admission that Al-Qaeda is supporting the armed insurrection in Syria dovetails with reports that the same Al-Qaeda terrorists who helped overthrow Colonel Gaddafi in Libya were airlifted into Syria by NATO forces.
Al Qaeda leader Ayman al-Zawahri's has also publicly expressed support for Syrian rebel forces - Infowars"
This strategy of utilizing al-Qaeda as a proxy mercenary force on the African nations surrounding Israel, is a Bush era program in which Obama has fully participated in.
The plan was hatched by the Rand Company and other think tanks as a method to overthrow the infamous "Axis of Evil" countries that Bush listed in his famous 2002 State of Union address. In that address he listed Libya, Egypt, Syria, Jordan, and other neighbors of Israel as housing terrorists, and fair game in the War on Terror.
Stuart Jeanne Bramhall in a recent expose on Gene Sharp, the founder and director of the Albert Einstein Institution lays out how the Pentagon sought to use non-violent means to undermine the regimes of countries in the middle east deemed terrorist states. Gene Sharp was quoted as saying,
"I have been arguing for years that governments and defense departments – as well as other groups – should finance and conduct research into alternatives to violence in politics and especially as a possible basis for a defense policy by prepared nonviolent resistance as a substitute for war." (See The living library: some theoretical approaches to a strategy for activating human rights and peace, George Garbutt, 2008, Southern Cross University, Australia)."
This information is compounded by the below clip. Gigi Ibrahim a leader and revolutionary during the Egyptian riots told host of the Daily Show, Jon Stewart that she, and her fellow revolutionaries were trained by Americans on how to bring down their government through the use of social media and non-violent action.
Gigi corrects Jon Stewart and emphatically states that "Private American colleges" in Egypt are what "ignited" the Revolution in Egypt in this below clip, and has been Exclusively resurfaced by Truth Alliance.
This clip illustrates perfectly how the Intelligence apparatus behind NATO mounted massive chaos this last year through the use of student led, non-violent action in city streets of Muslim nations, while simultaneously arming cadres of Pakistani militants to back up the revolting public to assure the overthrow of American compliant dictators.
Enter 'Spooky Dude'
What should really have the American public in an uproar, is these same "colleges" that have served as pass through institutions for the CIA are also tied to Gene Sharp and the Soros organized Occupy Wall Street movement. Which is being touted by Soros himself as about to turn violent.
"Yes, yes, yes,' he says, almost gleefully," when asked about the prospect of Occupy turning violent, writes Arlidge.
Soros claimed the riots will "be an excuse for cracking down and using strong-arm tactics to maintain law and order, which, carried to an extreme, could bring about a repressive political system, a society where individual liberty is much more constrained, which would be a break with the tradition of the United States."
"At times like these, survival is the most important thing," Soros continued. - WND"
This statement should be taken seriously by Soros, and in light of the rampaging Trevon revenge beatings, the May Day lootings, and the FBI entrapment case on the would be occupy bombers this last week we may be seeing the fruit of these operations already here in America.
So in conclusion, the response the U.S. and Israel have taken against the problems they themselves are obviously creating and formenting is of course a military one. Keep creating the crisis and the solution is always more police state. Snap out of your trance America your streets could easily look like the Libyan capital next.

I am a kitchen-brewer doing 5 gls all-grain batches and am frustrated because the kitchen stove is lacking the last bit of power to yield a nice rolling boil. Are there any indoor-alternatives to the stove?
I've had the same problem on our small apartment stove, and the best trick I could come up wih was to preheat water in a separate kettle while I'm doing other prep work so I can have hot water on hand rather than try to bring 3 gallons to a boil all at once.
Electric brewing with heat sticks. Or you can supplement your stove top with a little extra heating capacity using a heat stick.
Start here with this heat stick page
One thing I did in my apartment was to get a griddle that would cover 2 burners. Put both burners on high, with the griddle on top. Put the brew kettle on the middle of the griddle. You get somewhere around 1.5 the BTUs of 1 burner (some is lost to waste heat, unless you rig up a proper way to hold that heat in, which I never really investigated).

A Thousand Memories for United's Giggs
When Ryan Giggs made his Manchester United debut in 1991, at least nine of his current teammates were still in diapers. Wayne Rooney was five and a long way from his hair implants. And Robin van Persie was likely learning basic arithmetic in about second grade.
Now, 21 years later, the 39-year-old Giggs is set to make his 1,000th professional appearance in United's Champions League Round of 16 second leg against Real Madrid on Tuesday night. Of his 999 games so far, 931 have come for United, making him the club's all-time leader, 64 for the Welsh national team, and four for Team Great Britain at the 2012 Olympics.
It's a significant milestone in English soccer where the regular season is 38 games, with cup competitions and international games adding up to 30 more. But in baseball, it would take just over six seasons—without even making the playoffs. Derek Jeter hit 1,000 games for the New York Yankees in 2002, just before his 28th birthday.
In the NBA, getting there is more punishing. It would take just over 12 seasons to reach 1,000 games, although over 100 players have hit it. Jason Kidd, who is the same age as Giggs, is the active leader with 1,366 regular-season games, while Kobe Bryant reached 1,000 in 2010 at the age of 32.
In the NHL, it's also rare, just not that rare. There are over two dozen active players with over 1,000 games to their credit. Washington Capitals defenseman Roman Hamrlik leads the way with 1,383 appearances.
As for the NFL, it would be conceivable for an entire starting lineup not to have 1,000 combined games. Even going to the Super Bowl every season via the wild card route, making it at most a 20-game campaign, getting to 1,000 would require 50 years. The average NFL career for players who make an opening-day roster is less than six years, according to the league.

UNIVERSITY OF WISCONSIN River Falls
UW-River Falls Administrative Policy
Title: Tobacco-Free Campus
The University of Wisconsin-River Falls acknowledges and supports the findings of the Surgeon General that tobacco use in any form, active and passive, is a significant health hazard. In light of the health risks, and in support of a safe and healthy learning and working environment, the University of Wisconsin-River Falls has set the following tobacco-free campus policy to be implemented on July 1, 2013.

A day at the beach with Roxy Louw and Heinrich Rohwer
Riding the monstrous waves at Cape Town's seven blue flag beaches and enjoying the vibrant city nightlife are all in a day's work for local champion surfers Roxy Louw and Heinrich Rohwer.
They shared their perfect surfing spots and water safety tips with us.
Roxy Louw, surfer and TV personality
What are your top five surfing spots in Cape Town and why?
Kogel Bay in Gordons Bay – one of the most beautiful beaches in the world with perfect surf banks when the swell is smaller.
Big Bay – it's known as a top water sports desination and Eden on the Bay is great for sipping on a Kauai smoothie or enjoying a bottle of wine at one of the restaurants. They also do surfboard rentals and lessons at the surf shop.
Camps Bay – I feel like I'm in Miami with all the tourists and the nightlife.
The Glen – because of its good waves and Melkbosstrand, because when the swell is right, it's a phenomenal surfing spot.
What are the water safety rules that you live by?
Don't panic in the water! That's the most important rule. Relax, lie on your back and you will be fine. Follow your instincts; if you feel you must get out, get out!
What are your favourite night spots after hitting the waves?
I usually feel pretty healthy and refreshed after a surf so, rather than clubbing, I go to Kauai at Eden on the Bay for a pesto wrap and smoothie. That's my pit stop after a surf.
What is your best kept Capetonian secret?
Will it be a secret then? The wine routes, they're not far from Cape Town and a day out there on the estates doing wine tasting is bliss.
How does Cape Town inspire you?
Cape Town has a great energy! And the different cultures in one location from our locals to international tourists all vibing together. It's great!
Heinrich Rohwer, kite surfer
What are your top five surfing spots in Cape Town and why?
Misty Cliffs and Scarborough – these spots produce great size waves and there are few places this good for kitesurfing.
The shipwreck in Table View – when the Seli 1 ran aground there it produced an artificial reef with a super fun wave and all kinds of sections to play with both inside and out.
Kamers in Big Bay – when it's uncrowded and the wind is peaking below 20 knots, this peeling left will have your heart racing. For me it delivers some of the best backhand vertical sections you can find.
Long Beach and Dunes – cold, sharky, so not for the faint-hearted. I love it!
Macassar – I would not recommend paddling here as it is a stone's throw away from Seal Island. However, on a kite, you can ride uncrowded waves to your heart's content.
Llandudno – the rights and lefts at the mountain that ends in the sea are beautiful and no kite is needed.
In addition to all of this, I get to ride "concrete waves" every day thanks to www.carverskateboards.co.za. It feels just like surfing.
What are the water safety rules that you live by?
Never abandon your board. Relax, never panic. Most drownings and accidents are caused by panic. Respect Mother Nature, and others on the water, with a good mindset and every session will be a good one.
What are your favourite night spots after hitting the waves?
Zula Bar, the Grand Café & Beach in Granger Bay, La Med and Café Caprice.
What is your best kept Capetonian secret?
Not many secrets left here, however False Bay has so much to offer when it comes to surfing with a kite.
How does Cape Town inspire you?
Cape Town is where I grew up. The elements are harsh and the rewards are great. Having travelled extensively I can tell you there is no place like home. In a nutshell – mountains, ocean, wind, waves, good wine and pretty ladies.
Cape Town is at the tip of Africa yet we manage to keep infrastructure and tourism running like a well-oiled machine and on par with international standards; we set an example for South Africa and the rest of Africa. We also have such diverse cultures but we keep working together to make Cape Town a better place.
Heinrich shows off his impressive kitesurfing skills in the video below:
Cape Town Tourism's Water Safety Tips:
When you're frolicking in the gorgeous waves at one of our seven blue flag beaches (Bikini Beach, Camps Bay, Clifton 4th Beach, Llandudno, Mnandi Beach, Muizenberg and Strandfontein), please remember the following water safety rules:
- Cape Town's beaches in False Bay are monitored by the Shark Spotters programme. A total of 21 shark spotters are deployed between Muizenberg and Glencairn. A flag and alarm system is used to warn beachgoers of a shark's whereabouts – please adhere to all signals.
- At the beach, be vigilant about using sunblock, at least SPF15, and limiting your exposure to direct sunlight between 10h00 and 16h00.
- Do not swim directly after a meal and watch how far out you swim.
- Parents are reminded to keep their children within sight at all times.

consider a long, straight wire of cross-sectional area $A$ carrying a current $i$. Let there be $n$ free electrons per unit volume. An observer places himself on a trolley moving in the direction opposite to the current with a speed $v = \frac{i}{nAe}$ and separated from the wire by a distance $r$. The magnetic field seen by the observer is very nearly
My Answer:
Zero. Because current is $neAv$ where $v$ is drift velocity of electrons. Relative velocity between him and electrons is zero. So, no flow of charge through any cross-section according to him. So no current. So no magnetic field.
Actual answer:
$\frac{\mu\ i}{2\cdot\pi\cdot r}$ where $\mu$ is the permeabilty of free space.

New information is released regarding the seven-year-old Kentucky boy charged with murdering his mother's boyfriend.
Police say 62-year-old Robert Sanders was asleep when he was stabbed by the child. Sanders died from a knife wound to his upper left chest on June 29.
The report also says the boy's mother knew her son had violent tendencies.
The mother, Teresa sanders, is charged with second-degree criminal abuse and endangering the welfare of a minor.
Police originally said Sanders knew her son killed Robert and charged her with complicity to murder. That charge was based on the mother not telling police what she knew.
The seven-year-old has admitted to the slaying.

I am in the market to buy a website. I would like to browse a list of websites that are for sale or up for auction. Are there any good services for this?
closed as off topic by John Conde♦ Sep 28 '12 at 22:03
Questions on Webmasters Stack Exchange are expected to relate to webmastering within the scope defined by the community.

Read more about reopening questions here.If this question can be reworded to fit the rules in the help center, please edit the question.
If you're looking to purchase both a domain name, and the hosting to put the website online, I'd advise purchasing them from separate companies (personal preference) unless you find a really good deal for both and have read multiple reviews on the quality of their hosting/customer service.
A good place to check out for your domain name first would be GoDaddy or 123reg, as although I personally wouldn't say they're that great for hosting, they do some pretty good deals on domain names and you can find a wide range of extensions available too.
For hosting however, the choices range far and wide. I don't personally know the reputation of hosting companies over there in the USA, but there's one in the UK called TSOHost that I'd recommend - my websites always seem to be up, and if I do have a query they always answer me within a few hours.
All three of the previous companies I've stated provide you the option of using WordPress and other types of plugins if you're interested in getting a website built fast without having to do much of the back-end coding.
In the case of wanting to buy an already established website, Flippa is probably your best bet.

I have Varolz, the Scar-Striped out along with a few minor creatures. My opponent on his turn casts Supreme Verdict. Before the Verdict resolves can I use Varolz's regenerate ability by sacrificing one of my lesser creatures? Will my Troll survive the Verdict?

Sure you can.
With Supreme Verdict on the stack, you respond by activating Varolz's regenerate ability. This resolves.
Supreme Verdict now resolves, destroying all creatures. Varolz's regeneration shield protects him, and he becomes tapped and survives the Verdict.
Obligatory comp rules citation:
This is all pretty basic stuff of course. Perhaps some confusion arises from the fact that Supreme Verdict "can't be countered". This just means that it counterspells etc won't work on it, not that there is no possible means of escaping the Verdict's destructive effect.

Herb Roasted Prime Rib
with Truffle Cheese Popovers
Serves 6, total time:
- 1 4-6 pound prime rib roast, trimmed to "roast ready" by your butcher
- 2 cups Herb-Dijon Marinade
- 4 tablespoons parsley, chopped
- 2 tablespoons fresh rosemary, chopped
- 2 tablespoons fresh sage, chopped
- 1 cup olive oil
- Sea salt
- Fresh cracked black pepper
- 12 Truffle Cheese Popovers
- 2 cups Beef Jus (follow Beef Jus instructions in Chef's Note)
- Coat the prime rib roast with the Herb-Dijon Marinade and let marinate for at least 4 hours in the refrigerator, preferably overnight. Remove the roast from refrigerator two hours before placing in the oven.
- Mix the parsley, rosemary, sage and olive oil together.
- Preheat oven to 300°F. Thoroughly rub entire surface of the roast with sea salt and black pepper. Place roast onto a steel rack and into a roasting pan in the oven. Cook the roast for 1½ hours. Check the internal temperature of the roast. Once roast reaches 90°F, baste the roast with herb-olive oil mixture every 15 minutes.
- Continue to cook the roast until an internal temperature of 120°F is reached. Remove from the oven and let rest for 30 minutes. (at this point you can increase the oven temperature and start the popover recipe)
- Once the roast has rested, slice and serve with Truffle Cheese Popovers and Beef Jus.
Pair with Cabernet Sauvignon, Merlot or Pinot Noir
