Product Description
The size of a tennis ball and approx 270g, a Powerball is the worlds most powerful and fastest spinning hand gyroscope! It's compact size and mighty rotor makes it the perfect form of exercise for all.
A Powerball is designed to work 5 different areas of the arm depending on how you hold it. These areas include the hand and fingers, tricep, bicep, forearm and wrist. The gyro can spin at up to 15,000 RPM and generate over 40lbs of force!
Soon the Powerball becomes addictive and all your friends want to have a go too! Females should be aiming for 9,000 RPM and males should be aiming for 12,000.
Powerball Models
All Powerballs come with 2 starting cords, full written instructions and a lifetime guarantee on all parts.
250Hz Classic
The original Powerball! Precision balance means it has been certified to 15000 RPM but has been known to clock up to 16k
250Hz Neon
With the same powerful rotor as the classic Powerball, Neon models have 6 inbuilt LEDs which light up when the Powerball is spinning. The faster the Powerball spins the brighter the LEDs will glow.
250Hz Neon Pro
All the features of the 250Hz Neon but with an inbuilt digital counter which will measure your RPMs allowing you to see how well you are doing and motivate you to always try and beat your personal best (or someone else's!)
Signature Pro
This limited edition Powerball has the same high performance but it super stylish with a smokey shell, black rotor and ultrabrite white LEDs. Again, the inbuilt computer will count your RPMs and it also comes with a mini DVD featuring various world records and exercises.
Benefits of the Powerball
People involved in sports such as golf, tennis and squash will be sure to feel the strength increase in their wrists, perfect for sports including a bat or racket etc. Virtually all musicians, but in particular drummers, guitarists and pianists, will feel the benefit of using the Powerball for only 5 or 10 minutes a day. As the Powerball is medically recommended it is ideal for those suffering from medical conditions such as RSI (repetitive strain injury) and arthritis as it is a non-impact piece of equipment. Even if you're not a sports enthusiast or a budding musician, a Powerball is a highly effective way of improving the strength in your arms and toning up.
How does it work?
Basically you hold the Powerball in the palm of your hand, insert a cord into the hole in the rotor and wrap it round. You then sharply pull the cord and the rotor will start rotating. By rotating your wrist (not your arm) you will feel the pressure on your wrist and arm. Every Powerball comes with full step-by-step instructions. It recommends starting slowly and increasing your speed once you are used to the motion and resistance of the Powerball.

The starting point is that it is known that the Hankel determinants for the Catalan sequence give the number of nested sequences of Dyck paths. I would like to promote this to symmetric functions. This is motivated by some representation theory.
The naive idea is to start with the sequence of symmetric functions $s_{n,n}$ and take the Hankel determinants using the inner product (that is product in the group ring of $S(2n)$) instead of the usual outer product. However this doesn't make sense.
Take the $2 \times 2$ case. Then the naive determinant is $$ \left|\begin{array}{cc} s_{n-1,n-1} & s_{n,n} \\\ s_{n,n} & s_{n+1,n+1}\end{array}\right|$$ The inner product of the two diagonal terms is defined but the inner product of the two off-diagonal terms is not.
The idea that I want to test is that this is $\sum_\lambda s_\lambda$ where the sum is over the conjugates of the partitions $4^a2^{n-2a}$.
Any suggestions on how to fix this? If this does get fixed then I would like to know how to calculate the result. The difficulty is that I have not seen an implementation of the inner product in the computer algebra systems I use, Magma and Sage (which I think both use the same source for symmetric functions).

SELECTED: Global recognition was given to Renee Pearson of Weirton by Bank of America when she was selected to receive the Silver Award.
She received the Silver Award once before and two Bronze Awards from Bank of America.
Pearson was an original member of the Lending Processing Service of Bank of America in Pittsburgh.
She received her bachelor of business administration degree in marketing and management from Marshall University in 1993. She earned a master's degree in integrated marketing and communication from West Virginia University in 2009.
She is the daughter of Chris Pearson of Weirton and the late Gerald Pearson.
RECOGNIZED: Yvonne Ackerman, an employee of Carroll Electric Cooperative Inc., has earned recognition as a professional communicator in a national program offered by the Council of Rural Electric Communicators, affiliated with the National Rural Electric Cooperative Association.
"Ackerman met the requirements to become a certified cooperative communicator," Larry Fenbers, Carroll Electric CEO/general manager, said.
Since 1985, when the program began, more than 300 electric cooperative communicators have attained CCC status in the program that is voluntary, according to Fenbers.
In order to achieve certification, she had to meet the program requirements and submit a portfolio of work samples in the field of mass communication and/or marketing communication for evaluation.
Her portfolio was judged by peers, communicators in the electric co-op industry who already have earned the designation.
Having passed that evaluation, Ackerman took a four-hour written exam administered by an educational consulting firm whose principals conduct similar examinations for many national organizations throughout the United States.
The CCC credential is offered in order to improve the practice of mass communication and marketing communication in the electric cooperative field, done through the establishment of professional development goals, identification of a body of knowledge and skills necessary to the practice of electric co-ops communication and recognition to those who have demonstrated a professional level of excellence, according to officials.
WORKSHOP: The Ohio State University Extension Agency in Carroll County is offering a workshop to help landowners understand the financial and tax implications of oil and gas leases/royalties.
The workshop titled "Financial & Tax Implications of Oil & Gas Leases/Royalties in Northeast Ohio" will feature David Marrison, OSU Extension associate professor, who will discuss the financial and tax implications of Utica and Marcellus shale leases.
The meeting will be held from 7 p.m. to 9 p.m. on Dec. 19 in the Carrollton High School cafeteria.
The registration fee for this program is $5 per person.
Registration fee is to help defray the cost of program handouts.
Pre-registration is requested due to handouts.
Payment will be collected at the door.
Details may be obtained by calling (330) 627-4310 or go to carroll.osu.edu.

Kathryn Elmera Cobain
Kathryn Elmera Cobain passed away peacefully on May 21, 2011 at the age of 99. She was preceded in death by her husband, Harry Howard Cobain, and grandson, Stephen Fausti. Kathryn was born in Waukon, Washington, the oldest child of Harry and Naomi DeChenne. She graduated from Edwall High School as the valedictorian of her class. While attending high school, Kathryn met, and later married, Harry Howard Cobain. Kathryn had three children, Patricia Guyll (Mrs. Gary), Harry "Mike" Cobain (and Stephanie), and Gwendolyn Fausti (Mrs. Stephen). She leaves behind nine grandchildren, ten great-grandchildren, and one great great grandchild. She spent her time raising her children in Wilbur, Pendleton, Oregon, and Walla Walla. Kathryn was very community minded while living in Walla Walla. Some of her activities were Migrant Worker Board, Chairperson of Washington Research Committee and Mother's March for Polio. She later became an ordained Lay Minister of the Methodist Church. After her husband Harry died in 1969, Kathryn moved to a small acreage near Deep Lake where her family, especially her grandchildren, looked forward to spending time with her. They enjoyed the good cooking, lots of travel excursions, and wonderful evenings by the campfire roasting marshmallows. Kathryn was a fine seamstress, creating beautiful quilts and making and selling lovely doll clothes. She was always looking out for someone – whether it was her mother, sister, or one of her friends. Her unselfish ways set an example for all to follow. Kathryn spent her last years in Portland, Oregon and Pasco, near her daughters, Gwendolyn and Patricia. A memorial service will be held Thursday, June 9 at 10 a.m., at Central United Protestant Church, 1124 Stevens Drive, Richland. In lieu of flowers, donations may be given to Central United Protestant Church. The family invites you to sign their online guestbook at www.muellersfuneralhomes.com.

Does this sentence use the subjunctive correctly?
He spoke as though he was the only one to tell the truth.
Does this sentence use the subjunctive correctly?
If you want to use the subjunctive, you should use were; if you do not, the mood is not subjunctive:
Wikipedia's article on the subjunctive mood, in the section entitled To express a counterfactual hypothesis, states:
As though can also precede was and still be perfectly correct. Again, grammatically speaking, this would not be in the subjunctive mood. See this forum thread:
No. With a counterfactual ("as though", in your example) you use "were", not "was".
From Wikipedia:
The sentence is fine, but that's not the subjunctive. The subjunctive would use were, not was.
Either one is correct; were is much more formal.
Some people would go so far as to say that only were is correct, but good English speakers and writers use was in this sort of context quite naturally:
You will use were when describing unreal situations, which is the case in your example sentence. As I interpret your sentence, he is not the only one to speak the truth, but he spoke as if he were.
The subjunctive form of to be is were. Thus, you would say, "If I were a doctor, I would not refuse patients." Here, I am not a doctor, so the situation is unreal.
As though I were...
If I were...
As others have said, your example shows the indicative mood, not the subjunctive mood. The authors of 'The Cambridge Grammar of the English Language' do not even call it subjunctive, preferring the term irrealis were. They explain, persuasively enough:

Santa? Absolutely!
S.L. Frisbie
Few indeed are the American columnists, famous or obscure, who have not at one time or another wished that little Virginia had written to them instead of the New York Sun with her classic question: "Is there a Santa Claus?"
While most of us probably would have been afraid to answer it at the time, we've all thought how we might have gone about it.
A few cynics would have snarled: "Of course there is no Santa Claus. He's just an invention of people who still believe in something for nothing."
But Virginia's letter was guided to the hands of a more sensitive writer. The reply is perhaps the third most famous piece of Christmas journalism ever written, after the Christmas stories chronicled by Matthew and Luke.
Still, there persists the wish that I could have gotten Virginia's letter. Sometimes at Christmas, I wonder how I would have replied . . .
Yes, Virginia, there is a Santa Claus.
Your little friends have made you unhappy by telling you there is not, but it is really they who are unhappy, for they have lost a little of the magic of childhood.
Some of my friends say there is no God, and they're grown-ups, and ought to know better. It is sad that they have lost their faith, not because I believe them, but because they believe themselves.
You know, Virginia, God and Santa Claus have a lot in common.
When we are very young, our parents tell us that God is a person like you and me, with a head, two arms, two legs. And they say He lives in Heaven — a place high in the sky — and sits on a throne of gold.
Is that the way Heaven really is? I don't know; I've never been there. But I do know there is a God and a Heaven.
When we are very young, we cannot understand ideas like a God who exists but not in human form, or a Heaven that exists but not in the form of a beautiful city. So our parents and Sunday school teachers and preachers describe God and Heaven in a way we can understand.
Santa Claus is a lot like that, Virginia.
When we are very young, we are told that Santa Claus is a chubby old fellow who wears a red suit and lives at the North Pole where he has a toy shop.
And we are told that on Christmas Eve, after we are sound asleep, he flies over all the world in his sleigh, leaving presents for all the children.
Is there really a Santa Claus who looks like that and lives at the North Pole? I couldn't say, for I have never been there. But I do know that there is a Santa Claus.
He lives in the hearts of children, and of their parents and grandparents and uncles and aunts and just about everybody.
You wonder if the man in the red suit ringing a bell on a street corner or riding a fire truck or coming to town in a helicopter or sitting in a department store is really Santa Claus. And if so, how can he get all his toys ready in time?
Well the way I look at it, these people are sort of like the preachers in our churches. They are not God; they are His helpers. They help us understand who God is and how He wants us to live. But just because they are not God does not mean there is no God.
And that's the way it is with the Santa Clauses we see on the streets and in the stores and at the parties at Christmas time. They are Santa's helpers, who help us understand the excitement of the season and the joy of giving as we celebrate the birthday of Jesus.
But just because they are not the real Santa Claus does not mean there is no Santa Claus.
I cannot see God the way I can see you or my own children and five precious grandchildren, yet I know that God exists, because I can see what He has done in our world.
I have never seen Santa Claus come down my chimney, either, but when I hear people wishing a Merry Christmas to strangers and sending cards to friends they haven't seen for years and giving money to charity . . . and most of all, when I see the face of a little child light up with joy on Christmas morning . . . then I know there is a Santa Claus.
Yes, Virginia, there is a Santa Claus. In a lot of ways, he's very much like God.
In fact, I think Santa Claus works for God.
(S. L. Frisbie is retired. He wrote the first version of this column when his own children were young. A year and a day ago, he had three grandchildren. A fourth was born in Gainesville a year ago yesterday, and a fifth, adopted from an Ethiopian orphanage, joined the family earlier this year. Life is good.)

I just picked one up as a much less expensive option than a tilt/shift lens for the Pentax mount (they're hard to find and crazy expensive for the K-mount). I have done some experimental shots with it, discovering that I clearly need practice, but beyond that, does anyone have experience with these and have some tips to share?
I don't use a lensbaby and don't have any great resources for you, but seeing that the question has gone unanswered for so long, I'll post what I can...
Craig of The Mindful Eye uses a Lensbaby. Back in the day he posted more how-to stuff about using it, but there are some of his photos along with nuggets of info in his blog:

I took my frame to a bike shop to have the threads chased on the drive side. When I got home, I realized that they didn't install the plastic sleeve (because I didn't give it to them). They didn't say anything about it, so is that just to keep out dust/grime?
And what's the official word for that plastic sleeve?

RILEY COUNTY, Kan. (WIBW) -- The case of a Manhattan murder suspect charged in a deadly drive-by shooting is moving forward in court.
During a hearing Friday in Riley County District Court, Daniel Parker was declared competent to stand trial.
Parker is accused of opening fire outside of a New Year's party at a Manhattan motorcycle club.
Frederick Beverly, 21, a Kansas National Guardsman, was caught in the crossfire and was killed.
At the time of his arrest, Parker, of Junction City, was a specialist at Fort Riley assigned to the 1st Battalion, 63rd Armor Regiment, 2nd Heavy Brigade Combat Team, 1st Infantry Division.
Prosecutors say Parker was evaluated at Larned State Hospital. According to Assistant Riley County Attorney Barry Disney, mental competency evaluations are routine in high profile cases to make sure the defendant is able to understand the proceedings and work with his attorney to prepare for trial.
On January 1, 2012 around 4 AM, officers were called to 1827 Fair Lane, just south of the intersection of Fort Riley Boulevard and South Delaware Avenue.
At that location, members of the "Assassin Street Rydaz," a Manhattan motorcycle club, were having an after-hours New Year's party at their club house.
Frederick Charles Beverly, 21, a member of the motorcycle club, was shot outside, receiving a fatal gunshot wound to the head. He was later pronounced dead at Mercy Regional Health Center in Manhattan.
Officials say Beverly was shot when someone inside a passing car opened fire outside of the party in a drive-by shooting. Frederick Beverly's younger brother, Isaac, told 13 News that Frederick was manning the gate at the New Year's party when the shots rang out.
Police say they identified Parker as the gunman and he was arrested several days after the deadly shooting for First Degree Murder and Criminal Discharge of a Firearm into a building.
As for what sparked the deadly shooting, Captain Jeff Hooper, who oversees the Riley County Police Department's Criminal Investigations Division, says Daniel Parker had a confrontation with several members of the "Rydaz" motorcycle club earlier in the night at a Manhattan bar. Hooper says Frederick Beverly was there when the altercation occurred but tells WIBW that there's no indication that Parker specifically targeted Beverly during the shooting.
A preliminary hearing for Daniel Parker has been set for August 29th at 9 AM at the Riley County Courthouse. He remains in custody at the Riley County Jail.

Early Second-Half Surge Propels Trojans Past CatawbaFebruary 15, 2014
ANDERSON, S.C. – The Anderson men's basketball team erased a one-point halftime deficit with 10 unanswered points to start the second half, as the Trojans opened a two-game South Atlantic Conference homestand by topping Catawba, 81-61, Saturday afternoon at the Abney Athletic Center.
Anderson (17-6, 12-5 SAC) has won eight of its last nine overall and nine straight past Catawba, while maintaining a share of second place with Carson-Newman in the league standings. Catawba (6-15, 6-11 SAC) suffered its fifth loss in its last six outings.
"The big difference was that we started the second half with [several] defensive stops," said Anderson head coach Jason Taylor. "We also starting guarding the post better. Collectively, it was a good overall team win."
The Trojans held a 48-36 advantage in the battle of the boards, while pulling down 17 offensive rebounds, and converted 16 Catawba turnovers into 15 points. Neither team was hot from the field, with Anderson shooting 37.7 percent on the afternoon, while the Indians were 20-of-58 for 34.5 percent. But the Trojans were 24-of-27 (88.9 percent) from the free throw line for their second-highest accuracy of the season.
Senior guard Chandler Hash led all scorers with 22 points, while handing out two assists and grabbing three steals. Senior guard CJ Gleaton added 15 points, with junior guard Myson Jones chipping in 13 points and swiping two steals. Junior center Chris Ross tallied 11 points and a game-high eight rebounds, while senior forward Kyle Sledge equaled a career high with four assists.
Catawba sophomore Elon Edwards led three Indians in double figures with 17 points. Preseason First-Team All-SAC selection Tyrece Little netted 13 points, while sophomore forward Julian Sampah chipped in 10 points.
With both teams looking to shake off the rust from a weeklong layoff and playing the first of three games in a seven-day span, the Trojans scored the first five points of the game, with Gleaton scoring on a short jumper and Jones following less than a minute later with the first of his three 3-pointers on the day.
But the Indians stayed close, as the first half featured nine ties and seven lead changes, with Catawba garnering its first lead of the game, at 23-22, on a 3-pointer from Edwards with just more than five minutes left in the opening half. Less than three minutes later sophomore guard Kijuan Arrington gave Catawba its largest lead of the game, 29-26, with his traditional three-point play.
Catawba still held a three-point lead with less than a minute left in the frame, before Hash trimmed the Indians' cushion to just 33-32 with a pair of free throws just before intermission.
The Trojans erupted with 10 unanswered points to open the second half, as Gleaton opened the stanza with a short jumper and Jones sandwiched a pair of 3-pointers around a basket from Hash, as AU claimed a lead it would not relinquish, at 42-33, with 18:01 remaining in the contest.
With Anderson holding a 13-point advantage, the Indians sliced AU's lead to just 54-49 midway through the half, but it was as close as the visitors would get, as Hash stemmed the Catawba run with two from the line.
Anderson reclaimed the double-digit cushion on two Gleaton free throws and steadily pulled away in the final minutes.
Anderson will look to win its fifth straight home game as the Trojans wrap up the two-game homestand with Mars Hill invading the Abney Athletic Center on Monday at 8 p.m. The game will be a rematch of an earlier contest that saw AU hold off the Lions, 79-70, in Mars Hill, N.C.

What are the differences between the Gamecube and the Wii version of Twilight Princess? Are they just the same game, only with another control scheme (Controller for Gamecube, Wiimote for Wii), or are there any significant differences?
The main difference is that the whole game is flipped, horizontally. In the Game Cube version, Link is left handed (as he was in all previous games). In the Wii version, he is right handed. In order to avoid re-doing all of the graphics in the game, they just flipped the entire game - Lake Hylia is in the southeast corner instead of the southwest corner, if there is a path to the left in the Game Cube version, it is to the right on the Wii, etc.
I recall that Nintendo stated that this had something to do with players using the Wiimote in their right hand, and the interaction with the game was odd if Link was left handed, but I'm not positive on that.
According to Wikipedia, they were released at the same time, mainly just with a different control scheme. However, since most people are right-handed, and Link was left-handed in the GC version, they decided to flip the entire world, changing West to the East and East to the West. So, just watch out for that when using a Walkthrough or trying to play on multiple versions.
The Wii version doesn't have free camera mode - on the GC version you can use the C-stick to move your camera around while running and stuff.
Also I find that just holding B to release a spin attack is much more reliable than using the nunchuk/ Wiimote combo.

Sleep Deprived? A New Line Is Looking to Lull You Into a Night of Super Slumber
Neom Organics, in association with the Sleep Council, wants you to stop counting sheep and just sleep!
Working with Britain's Sleep Council, Neom has combined the highest legal limits of sleep-inducing lavender, basil and jasmine to help ensure that you slip right off into slumber land, unencumbered by the day's stresses and complications.
"It's well known that better sleep can have positive effects on health and maintain many vital functions in the body," the company says. "And, the fact that lavender has been found to lengthen total sleep time and increase deep sleep, we think now, more than ever, it's time concentrate on one of the basics of health - great sleep."
READ: 6 Stretches That Will Change Your Life -- Or At Least The Way You Sleep
Of course, they're in the business of selling their products and, subsequently, have arrived at a three-pronged system (each including one of their products) that's purported to have you nodding off in no time. You can read all about them here -- and, bonus, unlike a lot of British-based businesses, Neom does ship to the U.S. (Just check out the international shipping section of their site.)
Are products, lavender-based or not, required to achieve a good night's sleep? Of course not, though they have been proven to help.
Here, via the Telegraph.co are some tips from the Sleep Council about how to maximize your REM time;

Bosnia vs. Belgium
Paris Community Arena, Paris: Bosnia had been an offensive force going into this match, led by Edin Dzeko's 6 goals, but they were stopped short by an impressive Belgian side that had conceded only three goals. They controlled the match, and kept Bosnia's strikers under control, winning the game 1-0 and advancing to the Semi-Finals. Bosnia's head coach, the 61 year Safet Susic, was hailed for the progress his small nation had made, and for the style of football they displayed in the tournament.
Belgium: 1 (Lukaku) – Yoni Buyens, Standard Leige (1 Assist, 8.4)
Bosnia: 0

Stade de Lumieres, Lyon: This was the match of the Quarter-Finals, as two of Europe's heavyweights went toe to toe. The two time defending champions were able to come out on top against the hosts, beating them 3-1, with Fernando Llorente scoring a brace that took his tally to 7 goals in the competition, just one goal off of France's Michele Platini's 8 goals. In truth, it was a very even match, but Spain took their chances while France had to wait until the 84th minute to finally score a consolation goal. Spain advanced to the Semi-Finals for the third straight time.
Spain: 3 (Llorente (2), Mata) – Santi Cazorla, Arsenal (2 Assists, 8.8)
France: 1 (Bocaly)
Russia vs. Portugal
Stade de France, Paris: A match that could possibly be the contender for most boring game of the tournament, there was very little happening from beginning to end. The Portuguese again looked uninspired and unimpressive, but this time, they were not gifted anything – the Russians scored in the 74th minute and never looked back, beating their opponents 1-0. Although the match itself was dire, nothing could be taken away from the Russians' achievement, who made the Semi-Finals for the first time as the country of Russia (and not the Soviet Union.)
Russia: 1 (Berezutskiy) – Vasily Berezutskiy, CSKA Moscow (1 Goal, 8.4)
Portugal: 0
Wales vs. Italy
Stade de le Borne de l'Espoir, Villeneuve-d'Ascq: One of the biggest upsets in the history of the competition, Wales were able to hold the Italians to a goalless draw and finally won the game on penalties, advancing to the Semi-Finals in glorious fashion. The Italians dominated the match, and Wales did not have single shot on goal to threaten Italian GK Salvatore Sirigu, but at the other end, their defense held strong and kept the Italian offense at bay. Wales, who are coached by former Chelsea manager Tony Pulis, are ranked 40th in the world, but that meant nothing as they advanced to the next stage for the first time in their history.
Wales: 0 – Won on Penalties 6-5 – Adam Matthews, Villareal (7.8)
Italy: 0

5 Low Bun Hairstyles for Spring
It's time to take it down a notch! Embrace the new season with these super-pretty low bun hairstyles
To achieve the look, section hair into two parts between upper and lower layers. Fasten the lower half of hair into a secure, low ponytail. Wrap the ponytail around the base to create a bun, securing with bobby pins. Now, move back to the top section of hair and divide into two parts. "French braid each side from the root approximately two to three inches," Antin advises. "Then, resume to regular braiding through the ends." Finish by wrapping the braids around the base of the bun and secure with bobby pins.

6 Movie Plots Made Possible By Ridiculous Understaffing
#3. The Death Star
"Now, wait a minute Cracked.com," you're probably saying out loud to yourself as you read this, in between sips of your chai mocha latte, "you've really fucked up this time. We all saw the inside of the Death Star, and that thing was crammed full of storm troopers, Imperial bureaucrats, janitors and lunchroom workers. In fact, there were so many people in there that anyone who blew it up would probably be tormented with a paralyzing guilt for the rest of their life, rendering them a vegetable."
The thing is, the Death Star was full of ground troops, which would be extremely handy if the Death Star came equipped with landing gear. Unfortunately, the Rebellion decided to launch an attack in outer space.
The Staff:
One part space station, one part death ray and one part floating Epcott Center, the Death Star was the crown jewel of the Emperor's armada. Therefore, it only makes sense that he would fill it with his most impressive Storm Troopers, his most powerful Sith Lord and one weird garbage monster.
But you still can't get past the fact that ground troops are absolutely useless when you're fighting in outer space. Unless all those Storm Troopers are needed to handle the day-to-day maintenance on the Death Star, in full armor just in case the floor buffer has a "massive head injury" mode, the only reason to have that many soldiers on a space station is if they were planning on being invaded from the inside out.
Of course, this also means that if any rebel troops were foolish enough to break into the Death Star, they would be captured immediately, right?
Why Some Extra Staff Wouldn't Have Hurt:
When the rebels finally attack the Death Star, they send in most of their militia (i.e. a handful of poorly trained fighters in tiny space ships), the space equivalent to trying to overthrow Saudi Arabia by sending in a few dozen frog men.
Stranger things have happened.
The Empire decides to defend their most powerful space station in the only logical way: By sending out a handful of their own poorly trained fighters, along with a laser gun tower or two. The rebels are thus able to skim the surface of the base itself and only get harassed by a few TIE fighters who mostly chase and fire at them helplessly. In fact, there's such a lack of TIE fighter pilots that the Empire decides to send Darth Vader to help out, instead of something useful like a Star Destroyer or two. Or 700. After all, they had 25,000 of them.
That shit was personal.
Luckily, the Emperor figured out the station's biggest flaw by Return of the Jedi, as that Death Star at least had the ability to actually fire on the ships attacking it, and not just float there like a ripe mango waiting to picked.
#2. The Gotham City Police Department
Let's face it: Gotham City is a pretty rough town. During the day, it's like 1970s New York City at night, and at night, it's like Second Age Mordor during the day. Trapped in an unending cycle of corruption and urban decay, the city called out for a hero. If only it hadn't stopped there.
Don't worry, Mayor. I'll fight all the crime.
The Staff:
When Bruce Wayne donned the bat-cape and bat-cowl, vowing to bat-avenge the death of his bat-parents, he probably foresaw a super heroic life like Superman, Spider-Man or Iron Man, fighting the megalomaniacal mad scientists and other criminals that the police just couldn't tackle.
What Wayne couldn't have foreseen was that the Gotham City Police Department appears to be made up of a dozen guys. Besides Jim Gordon, his asshole partner (seriously, what was that guy's problem?) and, later, Harvey Dent, Batman is really out there alone.
Instead of aiding the police against dangerous supervillians like Mr. Freeze or The Ventriloquist, Batman is forced to spend most of his time stopping random street crime like he's the head of the freaking neighborhood watch.
Why Some Extra Staff Wouldn't Have Hurt:
A superhero can be a very useful asset to a police force, once a dangerous super criminal is on the loose. When Lex Luthor releases two atomic bombs to destroy the West Coast, or the villain from Ghost Rider does something, these problems are a little too complex for the average beat cop. Even if they're super badass.
"He pulls out a particle accelerator, you pull out a death ray!"
That's when you need a Batman. Unfortunately, Batman has to spend all of his time stopping every mugger, jaywalker and plagiarist breaking the law in Gotham, consuming all the time he could be spending solving super crimes.
In The Dark Knight, we see some (laughably incompetent) SWAT teams show up at the end--purely so they can get in the way--but otherwise Gotham's law enforcement seems to be made up of some despondent guys standing on the roof, shining the bat-signal into the clouds and hoping Bruce Wayne takes care of things.
#1. Xavier's School For Gifted Youngsters (X-Men Franchise)
Home to some of the world's most hated and feared teenagers, Xavier's School For Gifted Youngsters is also the last major accredited university with the word "youngsters" in its name (after Harvard Law School changed its name from the "Harvard School for Smug Youngsters" to the "Harvard School for Smug Douchebags").
Though it's top secret, displaying the school's real identify on a street sign sent a mixed message.
The Staff:
The faculty at Xavier's Mansion apparently consists of four people: Jean Grey, Professor Xavier, Storm and Cyclops who, judging from the film's montage, teaches a class on how cool all of his motorcycles are.
For today's class I'll just drive back and forth and look anguished again.
Even accounting for occasional visits from Wolverine, who doesn't work there, there are schools in Detroit with more faculty than this. How are there enough teachers to cover all the high school subjects, like Mutant History, Mutant Science and Mutant Comparative Lit., but also watch over an entire mansion full of hormone-fueled, superpowered teenagers?
Why Some Extra Staff Wouldn't Have Hurt:
In X2, with Xavier and Cyclops off visiting Magneto in prison, and Storm and Jean Grey off making out in Boston (we assume), the entire student body was left in the knife-filled hands of Wolverine, who in addition to looking like a well-groomed serial killer, only stabs a few invading soldiers and then runs away. Nice security, Professor X.
Let's make it clear: Most schools don't have tons of security because their problems involve students hooking up in the co-ed bathrooms and freshman ordering pizza after check-in. Problems at Xavier's School For Gifted Youngsters usually involve preventing global genocide. These are kids who can blow up buildings with their fucking minds, with enemies who can do the same.
So, with the entire faculty gone, the military, led by Colonel Stryker, invades the school, capturing most of the students we've never seen before, and allowing the characters that we care about to escape.
Although we run the risk of spoiling the ending for any readers living in 2003 (also, if you're reading this, don't bother seeing Superman Returns. Trust us on this), the X-Men win in the end. Unfortunately, we're deprived of the reaction of the students' parents when they learn that their children have been kidnapped and experimented on because their headmaster subcontracted his police force to a guy whose only superpower is the ability to stab people with impunity.

Does anyone know an example of a smooth hyperbolic surface bundle over a hyperbolic surface (surface = compact two-manifold) which does not have a complex structure? Is there any decision procedure to tell, given such a bundle, whether it has a complex structure, or is it more of a black art?
This paper by Hillmann addresses this question. He proves that a surface bundle over a surface which is a complex surface has a holomorphic fibration over the base, for some choice of complex structure on the base. He uses this to prove that when the fiber has genus 2, the bundle must be finitely covered by a product (see the last Corollary in the paper; this follows from a result of Kas). So for any fiber bundle with genus 2 fiber $S_2\to X\to S$, if the image of $\pi_1(S)\to Mod(S_2)$ induced by the fibration is infinite, then $X$ will not admit a complex structure.
Igor, suppose the total space of a bundle is complex. Then the fibration can be realized
There are interesting examples of complex structures on fibrations which fall into two classes:
(a) Using the period map (or a similar construction) one can show that the moduli space $M_g$ (except for $g\le 2$) contains a lot of compact Riemann surfaces. For instance, S.Diaz ["Complete subvarieties of the moduli space of smooth curves", 1987] used this to show that one can construct a projective curve passing through any finite subset of $M_g$ for $g\ge 3$.
(b) Kodaira's direct construction of complex surfaces which fiber: They are obtained as ramified covers over products of two Riemann surfaces, where the ramification locus is a (possibly disconnected) smooth Riemann surface in the product (graph of a, possibly multivalued, locally invertible holomorphic map between the surfaces).
I'll try. Take a genus 2 Riemann surface $S$, and embed it (differentiably) in $\mathbb{R}^3$ so that it's symmetric with respect to a 2-plane $\Pi$. Consider the intersection $S\cap \Pi$: choosing the embedding suitably, such intersection is the union of three circles $\alpha$, $\beta$ and $\gamma$. The complement of $\alpha \cup \beta \cup \gamma$ is a union of two noncompact surfaces $U_0$ and $V_0$, each homeomorphic to a sphere whith 3 holes, and each hole (within both $U_0$ and $V_0$) is bounded by the circles $\alpha$, $\beta$ and $\gamma$. If you thicken $U_0$ and $V_0$ you'll obtain an open cover {$U,V$} of $S$, such that $U\cap V$ is a union of thickenings of $\alpha$, $\beta$ and $\gamma$ which we call $W_{\alpha}$, $W_{\beta}$ and $W_{\gamma}$.
Now, a bundle on $S$ with fiber $F$ is encoded (up to isomorphism) by (the homotopy class of) a map
$\varphi:W_{\alpha}\cup W_{\beta} \cup W_{\gamma} \to \mathrm{Diff}(F)$.
Take as $F$ your favourite hyperbolic surface, and suitably represent it in $\mathbb{R}^3$ as above, symmetrically with respect to a 2-plane $\Pi$.
Define $\varphi$ to be the identity on the connected components $W_{\alpha}$ and $W_{\beta}$ and the symmetry with respect to $\Pi$ on the connected component $W_{\gamma}$.
Let $X$ be the total space of the resulting (differentiable) bundle. If I'm not mistaken, $X$ cannot have a complex structure because it's not orientable.
As for the second question, orientability of the total space is of course a necessary condition for it to have a complex structure.
Assuming my construction above is meaningful, if one knows $\pi_1(\mathrm{Diff}^+(F))$, he's able to tell apart the topological types of bundles on a given $S$ for which the orientability obstruction is not present.
(I know I'm being quite vague, but) ...then one may try to look for an (existing?) topological classification of holomorphic (or maybe just algebraic) bundles, for various complex structures on $S$ and $F$, to see whether each topological class is in fact realized by a a holomorphic/agebraic example...

To the editor:
It's tough being a mother, carrying a baby for nine months, waiting for its first kick 8 pounds, 17 inches.
Giving birth, the pain endured by a screaming mother. Moments later, the newborn is placed in mom's arms, bringing tears of joy as it is cuddled to her bosom.
Now comes the beginning of an ongoing adventure in raising the child - First Holy Communion, confirmation, barmitzvah, puberty, senior prom, college, marriage, mom now holding a grandchild - what a trip that's going to be.
If only it could have been that simple. Many tears, sad and joyfully, flowed. None of the above was a walk in the park, and there were a lot of bumps in the road for moms to endure. Moms are tough and resilient and deserve a special day in recognition of giving birth and raising a child in a special way.
Happy Mother's Day.

There are actually Wiktionaries for many languages and the English Wiktionary also defines and translates words of many other languages. But ignoring these other languages, have you tried the English Wiktionary and do you find it to be a good writers' resource? What are its best and worst points in this regard?
I've tried the Wiktionary and I really like some aspects of it, like having all the different regionalisms listed next to each other. (eg. 'fanny' has both the benign North American definition and the less-innocent UK version).
But sometimes I go to a dictionary in need of an authority. You know... 'Webster's says..." or "According to the OED...", and the Wiktionary doesn't serve too well for that purpose.
So, for me, it's a good resource if I'm looking for basic word meanings for my own understanding, but it doesn't work as well if I'm trying to convince someone else of what a word means.
Here's the perspective of an editor who does some writing on the side:
It depends on what you need in a dictionary. When editing UK writers, I usually use Cambridge, I think I'd continue to use that or Merriam-Webster when trying to convince a writer, I do not think the word you used means what you think it means.
Technical writers or those in other specialized fields might want a different dictionary altogether. Academic writers should be using whatever dictionary their institution favors. If you're writing or editing to a particular style guide, that guide will have a preferred dictionary. (For example. AP uses Webster, Chicago is fine with either Webster or Merriam-Webster.)
As to how useable it is for everyday work, I'd rather use Cambridge or Webster. Both have easier-to-use interfaces, and Wikitionary often feels a bit like overkill to me. It tends to dwell on etymology and sourcing a bit too much to be practical for what I do. It might be a good place to get the general idea of a word, similar to how Wikipedia is a good place to go to start research on an unfamiliar topic.
In summary, while I wouldn't use it as an authority, but it has a place in my Editing > Dictionaries bookmarks folder.

In SharePoint 2010, when using SharePoint list and column type "multiple line of text" with Enhanced Rich Text option (which allows inserting images, html code etc.), how can I enable to allow inserting one or more SharePoint Web parts ?
Interesting Question.
I think a better approach is to Create Custom List Column Type that can work as per your business logic. If you still need to use rich text column, please continue reading... :-)
Traditional Webparts are actually server side controls which are processed by SharePoint(actually ASP.NET) runtime and the corresponding HTML markup is generated and embedded in the requested Page.This HTML is then processed by browser and the webpart is displayed to user.
Now, If you can manage to get the HTML of the webpart (copy from view source) and insert into the rich text column, it will work.However, it will be static - which may not serve the purpose
To have dynamic HTML, you can try using the client side techniques ( instead of server side, like webpart).Below are some ways:
To make above methods working, you will need to insert scripts outside the rich text list column, because the OOTB list column don't allow to insert scripts(for security purpose). To have them inside,you can create a custom rich text column to allow scripts
You can't insert a Web Part into a SharePoint list. SharePoint does not work that way. You add SharePoint Web Parts to a Web Part Page.
I don't think that it is possible to put web part into rich text field. Maybe you can tell us more about what you need to do and we can advice you alternative way?
By default enhance rich text's features like (html,image etc) are totally different from webparts. For any SharePoint field there are 4 areas considered main in terms of interaction with user:
Even if some way you are able to insert webparts in rich text.. your list item display form and list view will create big mess on screen.
Adding webpart on rich text means you want to do some business function .. to show processed data .. another way are you seeking for KPI or some sort of calculated fields ?
Unless you can clarify the usage , what you want to achieve by inserting webpart in rich text no one can help you more.
Here are my two cents. Before we start though, know that I would avoid with all my strength to actually have to code what I will describe. I fear that this awake Cthulhu from his sleep in the sunken city of R'lyeh.
Anyway you could try to start from a custom field type, as Amit Kumawat suggested here. I would avoid trying to generate the webpart html and store it in the field though. What I would do is saving the web part export data in the field: that would be a string - so there shouldn't be any problem.
You would then need to have the web part rendering on the page. I believe that you could do that by abusing the rendering control for your custom field type. Have it return render a web part instance when in view mode (notice: that could be hard but you should be able to, creating the instance from the template isn't hard). In edit mode... you could try to render the web part tool part? again you should be able to get it from the web part instance - but then you would need some way to save the modified properties to the backing field.
Also worth a notice would be that your "field" would basically break almost any standard out of the box view inside SharePoint: just think the view item form with a web part inside it. And I'm not even considering other problems: connections, relative urls, web part that interact with data and so on.
Again, I would try to avoid this. If I may give you an advice, I would try to question the needs for a similar solution. Is this a customer request? Are you sure that your customer is describing what he need and not what he believe to need?
Note: leave a comment here if you need some more info. Also, feel free to add some more details on why you

I have this problem. I have an ideal gas that goes through an irreversible adiabatic decompression. I have the initial state (P,T,V), and the final pressure, and I have to calculate the entropy difference of the proccess. So, what I know is that I can make up any reversible proces bewteen the initial and final state because entropy is a state function, and integrate the heat over that process, but I can't solve it. I'm aplying $P_1V_1^\lambda=P_2V_2^\lambda$ to get the final state, but as I am creating the final point of the adiabatic, I get entropy difference of $0$ for an invented reversible path. That way of getting the final state is not correct, right? I have $PV=nRT$ but I only have the final $P$ so I need another equation.
EDIT: I have tried also to use $\Delta U=W\Rightarrow C_v\Delta T=P_{ext}\Delta V$, get $T_{final}$, and go on, but I don't get the correct result either. I thought this was general: $dU=C_vdT$, when can I apply that equation?

On the other hand it's a common joke on TV sitcoms for a psychologist to say they'll need to see their "patient" 2-3 times per week (intimating this one is a good cash cow). Psychiatry's assigning a "diagnosis" to almost every possible mental blip, so they can collect bid bucks insurance money, doesn't help matters either. Many consider the lesser diagnosis and treatments just a pile of who-ha, voodoo, and chicanery. Mental health is a big issue, and like most, I have no answers for it either. "

At the moment I cycle half an hour every evening, on a crappy indoor stationary bike.

Please clarify your specific problem or add additional details to highlight exactly what you need. As it's currently written, it's hard to tell exactly what you're asking. See the How to Ask page for help clarifying this question.If this question can be reworded to fit the rules in the help center, please edit the question.
This really depends on the type of stationary bike you are talking about. There's the older style as well as bikes that resemble road bikes (at least in terms of body position), as well as some recumbent bikes. There are bicycles that match pretty well to all three of those stationary bikes. However, it's worth mentioning that just because you are comfortable on a stationary bike, does not mean you will be comfortable on a bike with the same posture. For instance the first bike I linked to is very much upright. A bike like that would be fine for a quick trip to the corner store, but you would probably tire of it quickly if you were trying to get some serious exercise.
A very significant factor with 99% of stationary bikes is that they have no momentum -- when you stop pedaling the bike stops, and it takes extra effort to resume pedaling, even if you only stopped for an instant. You simply can't reproduce this behavior on a "real world" bike.
Beyond that, your basic stationary bikes provide no variability in resistance, whereas "in the real world" even riding on the flat there is variability as the road goes up and down slightly, the wind shifts, etc. Reproducing the lack of variability requires a very smooth, flat road on a windless day. (More sophisticated stationary bikes do provide variability, though it's rarely very realistic.)
And, as Kibbee stated, stationary bikes vary in posture, from very upright to quite recumbent. The most upright stationary bikes probably resemble a track bike, while others more of a "cruiser".

Can you Elborate? Is she large?
She is at least a foot taller than he. Her arms and legs are both
extremely long. Physically, she's not in proportion to his physique, so this is not only
a mismatch, but yet another miscast. She has long acrylic fingernails
that are hazardous, and that's dangerous for Leonid (and other partners), because they
have to worry about being slashed by them. Add to all of that the fact that she is a
gymnast, devoid of port de bras, epaulement, turnout, competent technique - (never mind
professional), and a footlight flirt, and you have what may shape up to be one of the
most, uh, entertaining Kitri debuts in the Maryinsky Theatre's history.

She is at least a foot taller than he.
Maybe they'll just send on somova, but not allova.

I can just see her hypermobile body going into one of those beautiful Plisetskaya sissones and getting her leg stuck around her torso.....

I imagine everyone has seen a dancer in a role s/he wasnt suited to but usually its out of necessity, because that dancer is the best the company happens to have at the time. The Kirov has no excuses as they can call upon the services of many of the worlds best, but perversely they keep putting Somova stage centre. Its as if the company is deliberately sabotaging its own reputation.

"She had the very best partner, the champion in jumping and turning, dashing Sarafanov. BTW, I took notice of their difference in height. Not everything was perfect. Firstly, she had trouble with her lifts, which are done with one hand only. Still remembering the way Cojocaru carried them through, Somova didnt look comfortable. Perhaps her extra-long legs of hers got in the way, but I suspect that it was just nerves. She tends to loose her leg when dismounting from the lifts, which makes them look somewhat off balance as if she was sliding away. Perhaps spectacular Manon lifts and turns is not her thing. She had some technical difficulties with her fan-work.
Then there were the fouette turns. The toe of the working leg was way too low to maintain perfect line. Well, she tried
and did some doubles. And as one can see, just like in some photos, she takes too long to fully extend her knee. These shortcomings, however, did not mar the feeling of utter joy which her Kitri radiated with characteristic generosity. She was spectacularly beautiful no matter which costume she put on."
In general, she reports that the patrons on the lobby level loved it - but not the Czar's Box level or the upper tiers. You see, this just goes to show you that in today's Maryinsky, you can smile your way through a performance and not have to dance, just change costumes. Well, I guess "Giselle" is next .

Out of curiousity, as I have never seen the Kirov's Don Q live, what would folks say were some of the better (recent) performances? And what about if they had to choose a Kirov dancer to debut as Kitri/Basilio/etc?
Posted 29 June 2007 - 03:27 PM
Well, they recently imported Natasha Osipova to dance it with Sarafanov. Just before that, his partner was Novikova.

Surely that's not to say that they don't have a decent Kitri of their own?
Posted 30 June 2007 - 06:19 AM
Here are photos of the Osipova/Sarafanov DQ (what company in the world wouldn't find Osipova an upgrade?) from Russian Interpress:
I love Osipova - interesting that they imported her - I must not have been keeping up with this section of the boards.

Radiation Oncology
Radiation therapy is often used alone or may be given in combination with other treatment modalities. Under the direction of a radiation oncologist, a physicist and dosimetrist use sophisticated treatment planning computers to precisely locate the cancer and meticulously compute a safe, optimal treatment dose. This state-of-the-art technology, administered by radiation therapists, consistently delivers radiation treatments enabling maximum response with minimal side effects.
The use of a High Dose Rate Remote Afterloader enables patients to receive a safe, yet aggressive therapy usually available only at university-affiliated treatment centers. The High Dose Rate Remote Afterloader provides the most direct form of radiation therapy available to patients with certain esophageal, prostate, gynecologic, skin, lung and brain cancers.

BELL COUNTY (January 29, 2012)--There's been an increase in scrap metal, especially copper, sold in Central Texas, and recycling centers are working with state officials to make sure those scraps have not been stolen.
A higher demand for copper is making it more valuable and also more tempting to criminals who steal it in order to later resell.
Temple Iron & Metal has seen business increase about 20 percent in the past year.
"Most of them legitimate just trying to make money, trying to keep their homes going or feed their children," said owner Billy Bachmayer.
There are also those who steal anything from aluminum to bronze to nickel and try to sell it.
The high resale price of copper has triggered the market for thieves.
Copper comes in all shapes and sizes.
Pure copper is the most popular and can bring in at least $3 a pound.
"Copper is needed, and it's a hard product to produce," said Bachmayer.
"Any scrap can be melted and used again, and that's what gives it value."
So valuable that the recycling center averages about $50,000 monthly in copper alone.
The law requires recycling centers to record the seller's ID and vehicle information.
That information is reported daily to state officials.
The centers also must capture customers on camera and require them to sign releases that state what they sell belongs to them.
It's a lot of work for owners like Bachmayer, but he says it's all worth it to keep the honest sellers and get rid of the thieves.
"If people know you're doing that, thieves will find another place to go," Bachmayer said.
Copper theft can be a felony depending on the amount stolen.

Emily T-strap is rated out of 5 by 3.
Rated 4 out of 5 by Uncomfortable from Stylish, comfortable,everyday summer sandal Purchased this shoe in the neutral-shade, in my normal shoe-size. Straps are in perfect place. Arch support is on minimal-side, but still good enough to be comfortable walking several blocks many times throughout the day. I live in a rainy, cool area with few days for sandals, but I purchased these for just those days. I also walk a lot foreveryday tasks like grocery shopping. Comfortable and stylish. The heels have a very interesting texture and color. Allows me to wear with pastels and bright colors without clashing. I also like the buckles which look like the traditional thread-through style, but is really a hook similar to bra-closures.

Rated 5 out of 5 by zbar-t from Functional & Sexy I've been a Rockport fan since 1996! This style is so much a new favorite of mine that I bought 2 pairs in one week. Don't be afraid to buy this in coral. Its just the right pop of color you need this summer. I highly, highly recommend (and I'm smiling as I write this!) this particular shoe. As far as Rockport goes... their 30-Day Walkability Guarantee speaks of real customer service.

When I start a new job I face a difficult time with hours.
I like to work from 7 or 8 (when it is nice and quiet) to 3 or 4 in the office and then do a bunch more at home.
These hours are not usually a problem once I have been at a company for 6+ months and they know that it helps my output and that as I don't have kids and other distractions, I get a ton done at home.
However, most jobs are still office-location based and many programmer come in at 9.30am, 10.00am, even 11am. They may stay until 7 but that's effectively the same number of hours.
How can I address this issue "day 1" with a new employer. I don't to wait until 4pm and then get up and say, "ok, see you tomorrow". I can't imagine doing it day 1... or day 2... or.. so when can I do it.
What should I say / do to try and address this issue?
I don't believe in an all or nothing situation for working in an office / working remotely. If most of my work is remote I don't have enough contact with my team, both developers and the product group. Conversely if most of my time is ion the office my actual work output suffers from lack of focus and concentration.

So I spent all Saturday night on 2 lenses. I used a laser to first set the horizon position who's at 16.65 on 5th lower rail. for my canon 24-105
at 105mm upper is 8.4
70mm upper is 8.4
50mm upper is 10
24mm upper is 11.5
40mm upper is 11.2
24mm upper is 11.7
17mm upper is 11.8
24TSE is 10.25.
I used laser for vertical comparison to an entrance way vertical frame. took forever to get hang of it. But I did and it works well. With such straight line as laser and using LE and PS to compare photos you get to see just how awful things look like at the edges of your image.
Do any of these numbers look right? As I indicated I have no visible parallax and will test my settings with some panos. I still have 1 more lens to go, my 70-200 f2.8.

What is the symbolic idea behind this number?
Also, what might be His intention behind the travel?
God commanded Israelites to explore the land of Canaan. Indeed, the milk and honey was flowing in that land. However, the people of Israel did not believe in God's powers and refused to march into Canaan and claim the land, except for Joshua and Caleb. God multiplied the number of days the group of explorers took to explore Canaan and multiplied it by a year. Eventually, the entire disbelieving generation died out.
The field of Biblical numerology can be a pretty mirky pond. There are some clear trends (three for completion, seven for perfection, a thousand for a really big number, etc.) and a lot of speculation and conclusions that may or may not be warranted.
In this case however, the answer is pretty much spelled out in another verse. The 40 years of wandering was an exact calculation, one year for one day, based on how long the spies spent looking around the land before they were originally supposed to enter.
The logical next question is, "Why did the spies spend 40 days on their quest"? To that we are not given any definite clues. It does seem like a reasonable amount of time to get around to a bunch of different places on foot and get an idea of the lay of the land without making your movements too obvious and getting caught.
There are actually quite a few references to 40 in the Bible. The flood. The spies. The wandering in the desert. The reigns of many of the Judges. Moses life has three periods of 40 years each. The temptation of Jesus. The surmised time between the resurrection and the ascension that Jesus spent back on earth. However the connections between these references is faint at best, and I think it is safe to say, since we are not told explicitly that there is any meaning to this number, that it is of no particular consequence that the spies took 40 days to get their spyin' done.
God said that all those who had refused to believe his promise that he would give them the land of Canaan would die in the wilderness. Thus, they had to wonder long enough for all these people to die. That would require decades. "Forty years" seems to be a standard Old Testament period for "one generation".
I'm a Biblical literalist, but I wouldn't insist on the 40 years being an exact number. It may simply be a round number, and the exact time was 37 years, 4 months, and 12 days or whatever. If the writer is rounding off to the nearest 10 years, there aren't that many possible different numbers. It would pretty much hae to come to about 40 years give or take. Maybe 30 or 50. 20 would be too short; 60 probably too long.
So it may have symbolic significance. But I wouldn't make too much of it. Like that statement in John 21:11 that the disciples caught 153 fish. Did this number have symbolic significance? Or was it just that that happened to be the number?

Getting Up To Speed With…James Deatherage
By Ben Deatherage
(Photo Courtesy of Madman Photography)
Lined up next for our "Getting Up To Speed With…" column is this author's very own younger brother James Deatherage. Deatherage has spent the last seven years working on various teams in the Late Model, Modified, and Sprint Car divisions. In late 2012 he would run the last three races in the Hornet classification at the Cottage Grove Speedway. In 2013 he aims to win the track title to become the third different champion in three seasons.
Driver: James Deatherage
Home Track: Cottage Grove Speedway
Hometown: Cottage Grove, Oregon
Occupation: Automotive Mechanic
Age: 23
Years Racing: 0
Classification: Hornet
Car: #7D Chevy Cavalier
Sponsors: D&D Automotive, Harris Machine and Design, A-1 Auto Supply, Team S.D.M.F.
Special Thanks: Jeff Conklin, Randy Martin
BD: Growing up Mom told us we were never allowed to race. If I get this story right Mom didn't know you had bought a race car until you had raced once or twice last year, right?
JD: No, she found out before. I was gutting the car one day and she was wondering why I was ruining a perfectly good car. She wasn't very happy but she has calmed down a little bit since. Every time she sees a new dent she thinks I got in a high speed collision.
BD: Up until late last year your background has been strictly working on race cars for several years. Has that help you at all with your Hornet?
JD: Yes and no. Through the years watching all the races that I have I've learned to watch the lines drivers use and how they enter/exit the corners. What's really cool is all the people that I've helped in the pits have started to help me back.
BD: You also have played a major role behind the scenes before selling parts, tire, and fuel. It's safe to say you've been around CGS for quite a while?
JD: Yes. I used to live at the track for about two years. When I was there I would help Brian Crockett and Heath Shelton prepare the track. That taught me quite a bit of what the track can do and how it can change over the course of a night. I learned a lot about track conditions during that time.
BD: The Hornets have not been around for that long but they have really become popular in the last year or two. How hard is it to get into one of these things?
JD: It's not too hard. I got a car on a Tuesday and had it racing by that Saturday. The cars can range from $300 to $1,000. It just depends on what you're looking for.
BD: Is there a future for you in another class down the road? Late Model, Modified, or Sprint Car?
JD: I really don't know. Right now the Hornet really fits into my budget. I might jump into a Modified one day. We'll just see what happens.
The Cottage Grove Speedway will host their first ever Fan Appreciation Night which will be presented by Knecht's Auto Parts. Classifications on hand will consist of 360 Sprints, IMCA Modifieds, Late Models, Northwest Extreme Late Model Series, and Street Stocks.

[CLOSED] com.extjs...widget.grid.GridView.getRenderedValue does not escape <
If a value bound to a grid cell contains is contained in <>, the contents between the angles will not be displayed unless there is an explicit GridCellRenderer which properly escapes the angles as < and >.
The issue in at line 955 in GridView.java where val.toString() is returned without proper escaping.
I assume (but can't confirm at the moment) that this would be visible if some stock data were changed in TestData to be enclosed in <>. Surprised that this hadn't been reported before, but I did search.
The workaround is to provide a custom GridCellRenderer that properly escapes its output. Without escaping, it is possible that some malicious user could perform the HTML equivalent of SQL injection.
22 Apr 2009 10:05 PM #2
It is up to you to return the data in the correct format.
The workaround is to provide a custom GridCellRenderer that properly escapes its output. Without escaping, it is possible that some malicious user could perform the HTML equivalent of SQL injection.
23 Apr 2009 5:59 AM #3
Strongly disagree here. The model data is independent of the context and should not be aware of where it might be rendered. Also to make things safe without fixing the default renderer, you would have to ensure that the toString() return value of any object that you had in the model would not contain <'s and that all things adding content to the model where aware that it had to be HTML-escaped.
You can observe the issue using the editable grid example (http://extjs.com/examples/grid/editable.html) without modification. Just modify "Bloodroot" to "B<loodro>ot" or "Cowslip" to "Cow<input type="button">slip". You got to admit that users should not be able to hack the UI like that. Somebody needs to be responsible and the right place is the renderer since it should be the thing that is responsible for formatting the data for presentation.
Unfortunately, it looks like ExtJS has the same issue since you can do the same with its grid example: http://extjs.com/deploy/dev/examples...edit-grid.html
23 Apr 2009 6:00 AM #4
It is not really an issue. It is up to you to allow and format the data as you want it.
23 Apr 2009 10:19 AM #5
Did some more seaching and it appears has been frequently brought up as a weakness in ExtJS, but the ExtJS team dismisses it as not a concern.
While I suggested examples with an malicious intent, I ran across the issue like one of the other observers totally valid content that was surrounded in <> that disappeared. My was generated from an value object's toString() method that appeared in the model data. No reason that it should need to be aware of the presentation layer.
Basically, my takeaway is to not trust the default renderers in Ext GWT and always provide a renderer. It would be great if Ext GWT 2 would see the major version change as an opportunity to fix the default renderers to properly escape data. For the edge cases where the model data is supposed to be interpreted as markup, a user can provider renderers that don't escape the model data.

Translation = we're going to skimp you
I can tell you from experience, these suck.
I love survival stuff and random crap, but this is basically just a big conglomeration of cheap Chinese crap.. and again, absolutely nothing wrong with cheap Chinese crap - half the things I own are Chinese and crappy - but they're charging $15 for probably $4 worth of stuff.
They itemize every little thing to make it seem like more.. really, there are only about 3-5 "big" things on that list.. and those are the things you probably won't get lol
@belyndag sorry for crapping on your deal lol - I just have firsthand experience with these guys, don't want anybody else to waste there money. For whatever it's worth I didn't downvote it :)
@drchops: Thank you for the heads up.
@drchops: I disagree, I've bought a number of things from them and I've never felt skimped on anything heck I payed 99 cents once to get a random item and they gave me an aluma wallet (we actually sell them at a store I work for $10!) not to mention from the list of optional items it seems to indicate that this pack might come with one of those hand crossbows they had as a deal a few weeks back! (if I wasn't a ramen eating college student I'd be picking this deal up!)
If it has the word "Zombie" in the product title,I don't want it thanks.
If you have to take the time to read the "how to kill a zombie" decal, it is probably going to be too late.
Double Tap
Avoid public restrooms
Always check the back seat
The twinkie had me cracking up. :)
Bought this as a gag gift a year ago and it came with a pretty awesome machete. Sadly, the Twinkie didnt't survive shipping. Fun gift for a friend who is into the whole zombie thing.
@cf: Enjoy the little things
Soooooo played out.
@drchops: Not a problem. I've been offline all day and just got a chance to respond. Sorry you had a bad experience with this company. The first time I made a major effort to get a BOC during a WootOff and failed, these folks offered a "Stocking of junk" (or something like that) for Christmas. It cost a bit more than a BOC, but I consoled myself and snagged one. It was junk, but mostly good junk and I felt that I got more than my money's worth. I've had good experiences with them over the past few years so I am a bit surprised to hear the negative review. Nevertheless, thanks for sharing your personal observations. I didn't buy this Zombie Survival Kit but would love to hear back from anyone who did get it.
