I currently have a few VM images of both Debian and Ubuntu. I was thinking it might be nice to burn them as a live CD on DVD-media and carry it around with me in case I need it whatever reason.
Is it possible to take my current Linux installation and burn it as a LiveCD or USB? The problem I thought I may have is the fact its on read only media. I'm using Debian and I may want to do this with Ubuntu as well.

The CWC boys track team has been working hard this season. It could be said that the team has taken the philosophy of Al Davis, the late owner of the Oakland Raiders, "Just win, baby."
"This team has a different feel than past years," said head coach Bart King. "The guys come into meets not just looking to compete, they feel like they can go in and win every time."
While the Bulldogs haven't won every meet, they are giving it their all at each meet.
The team is led by two-time state finalist Michael Brown, who regularly crushes the competition in the 800-meter and 1600-meter runs.
Brown recently even added the 3200-meter run at a meet, winning it as well.
When you look at sprints one name jumps out, Jake Russell. Russell has been pushing the competition in the 100-meter and 200-meter runs at this year's meets.
"We have the guys who have stepped up in the past, but we also have kids that have come out of nowhere," said King. "Joe Matz is one that comes to mind. Joe has been running hurdles for us, but now he is consistently finishing first or second in the 300-meter hurdles at about every meet."
Monday at Mt. Carmel, Carmi was led by Brown, finishing first in the 800-meter and 1600-meter, Russell first in the 200-meter and Matz first in the 300-meter hurdles. The team finished the meet in third place. Check out Thursday's Carmi Times for full Bulldog results from Mt. Carmel.
"I really like where we are," added King. "We have a lot of guys stepping up for us this year."

Is there a replacement for the Fences application for Ubuntu 11.10?
Fences lets you organize the icons and application shortcuts on the desktop by creating containers for the desktop icons. It is different from Folderview. Folderview shows the contents of the folder in a container but Fences lets you organize the desktop icons into a container.

#3. She Likes the Way You Move
The Conventional Wisdom
Supposedly, having some sweet dance moves like the Typewriter or a hot looking Moonwalk, will get chicks on your junk faster than you can say "Electric Slide."
Of course, the opposite holds true as well. If you've got the rhythm of an epileptic monkey then the odds are you're leaving the club alone.
Science Shows...
A researcher in England named Dr. Peter Lovatt spent many a night in dance clubs observing how women reacted to dancing guys, probably in hopes of picking up some pointers. What Dr. Lovatt (who followed in the footsteps of such great minds as Sir Isaac Newton and Albert Einstein in transitioning to science from the world of professional dance) discovered was that by mimicking those sexy Saturday Night Fever moves of John Travolta, you (he?) will stand a better chance of getting laid.
Still probably not worth it.
After first creepily watching guys dance at clubs from afar, the doctor increased the creepiness factor and filmed himself dancing many of those same styles, and then showed the videos to 55 women, who voted on which moves were the most attractive.
Later he figured he might as well make a science experiment out of it and shared his results with the world. Presumably because he could not handle all of the boobage that came his way after that video made the rounds.
#2. Stay Away from Your Hot Cousin Unless You Want Deformed Flipper Babies
The Conventional Wisdom
If there's anything we can learn from our history lessons, it's that years and years of inbreeding leads to bad things. Just look at the royal families, where Charles II of Spain was thought by many people to be mentally retarded due to generations of inbreeding, or Prince Charles, who wound up with those terrifying ears.
Why stop at the ears?
Science Shows...
After 30 years of extensive research, which we assume involved spiking the punch bowls at many a family reunion and studying the shenanigans as they unfold, scientists in Western Australia have concluded that most babies born to first cousins are just as healthy as others.
If you're wondering why they felt the need to conduct this study in the first place, it's because the practice is remarkably common, at least by most standards, in that part of the world.
A typical set of Australian cousins.
In Western Australia, there are at least 500 marriages between first cousins, and many more throughout the world (we're looking at you, West Virginia), making this research essential if we're ever to thwart any X-Men-style mutant uprising that could result.
#1. Jocks Get All the Girls
The Conventional Wisdom
If we can learn anything from countless classic 80s movies and television shows, it's that rich kids and jocks get all the girls. Oh sure, every once in awhile a nerd from Lambda Lambda Lambda can steal the starting quarterback's woman, but more often than not you're going to end up being the Duckie to some pretty boy's Andrew McCarthy.
Science Shows...
Well we've got good news, Poindexter. Despite lacking the social skills and rugged good looks of your athletic counterparts, it turns out that chicks really do dig brains over brawn.
Good news, Cracked writers!
At least, that's what this study has concluded. As it turns out, it doesn't matter if a woman wants a long term relationship or just a little fling. The common denominator (that one's for you, dorks!) in what a woman really wants is a dude with a high IQ. No, seriously.
Using a series of tasks that apparently combined Survivor with Mr. Wizard, researchers filmed 15 different men ranging in intellect and athleticism and then showed those videos to 200 college-aged women. The men would then be judged based on perceived intelligence, creativity and the ability to do physical tasks like catching a Frisbee and kickboxing.
Sex machine.
What the studies showed was that, more often than not, the creativity and overall braininess of these potential Dating Game-style suitors won out over simply being good looking. Now don't get us wrong, the study also showed that women still preferred guys who were the best of both worlds, being smart while still bearing an uncanny resemblance to Zack Morris.
We should also point out the study was carried out by scientists who were almost certainly nerds themselves. So maybe we shouldn't be surprised if the next study is called, "An Analysis of the Prevalence of Enormous Genitalia Among Scientists (and We Do Mean Enormous, Ladies)".

We have some bad news: you're also doing nutrition wrong, everything Cosmo has to say about sex is B.S., and your favorite book sellers are now taking pre-orders for a text book written and illustrated entirely by the Cracked team! Hitting shelves in October, Cracked's De-Textbook is a fully-illustrated, systematic deconstruction of all of the bullshit you learned in school.
It's loaded with facts about history, your body, and the world around you that your teachers didn't want you to know. And as a bonus? We've also included the kinkiest sex acts ever described in the Bible.

ST. CLAIRSVILLE - It's been so long since the host St. Clairsville Lady Red Devils have been to the district tournament that no one on hand Thursday afternoon could even remember their last appearance.
They'll have little trouble in remembering it now.
Using timely hitting, solid defense and pitching, the upstart Lady Red Devils advanced to the Division III Eastern District championship game by virtue of a 3-1 victory against top-seeded Harrison Central at the St. C. Junior Sports Complex.
"We knew coming into the game that it's been a while (since St. Clairsville played in the district)," said head coach Rachel Duncan. "It was time and we brought it today."
The Red Devils will next face Steubenville Catholic Central, which dispatched Martins Ferry in the nightcap, 6-5. The district final will be played on Wednesday at St. Clairsville at 5 p.m. with that winner headed to the regional tournament in Lancaster the following week.
"(Advancing) is the best feeling in the world right now," Duncan said. "This is something we've been striving toward since I started here, so it feels good to accomplish it, but we're not done."
While the Red Devils (12-11) are returning to the practice field today, the Lady Huskies finished their season with a 17-9 record, which ties the school record for victories.
"St. Clairsville has been playing well and they played very well today," said Lady Huskies' head coach Donnie Bethel. "I thought we played hard and well ourselves, but they hit the ball in clutch situations and we didn't."
The game was tied at one heading into the sixth. St. C. struck for its only run to that point in the top of the second on a RBI triple by Summer Gallentine.
Harrison Central, however, answered in its half of that frame when Paige Dunlap was plunked, forcing in Jess Custer.
After that it was all St. C.'s Michaela Miller and Harrison's Katie Ellzy in the circle.
In the sixth, however, Miller helped her own cause when she led off the inning with a base hit.
She wasn't out there long. Hard-hitting shortstop Lauren Figura took the first pitch she saw from Ellzy and launched it into the right-center gap.
"Figura had a really nice hit on a pitch that was a mistake," Bethel said. "St. Clairsville made us pay. I thought they swung the bats extremely well. No question about it, St. Clairsville played a good all-around game."
The relay throw back to the infield skipped away from a Huskies' fielder and Figura was able to race home with the third run.
"Offensively, we did what it took to get it done against a good pitcher and against a good team," Duncan said. "Our goal every game is to work ahead and not from behind. Lauren's hit was big and much-needed, but we got a good performance from everyone today."
Figura also helped the Lady Red Devils by flashing the leather in the field when she laid out for a diving catch on a looper in shallow left.
"I didn't think I would score on it, but I am glad it happened and definitely glad that we were able to win this game," Figura said. "It's just an amazing feeling to be moving on."
Those two runs were plenty for Miller, who saw down the Huskies in order in the sixth and outside of hitting a batter in the seventh, she got through the seventh with ease, earning the complete-game victory.
"Michaela was strong and confident the whole game," Duncan said.
Miller fanned only three. She walked two hit, hit two and worked out a few jams along the way.
Ellzy, the tough-luck losing pitcher, struck out five and walked two.
Mackenzie Otto had a solid two-hit performance for St. C.
St. Clairsville 3, Harrison Central 1
St. Clairsville 010 002 0 - 3 9 2
Harrison Central 010 000 0 - 1 2 0
ST. CLAIRSVILLE: Miller (WP, 3K, 2BB) and Shunk.
HARRISON CENTRAL: Ellzy (LP, 5K, 2BB) and Dodds.

Women's Center
As a branch of Montclair State University's Division of Student Development and Campus Life, the Women's Center is a tangible expression of Montclair State's commitment to women's issues and concerns. The continued existence and growth of the Women's Center reflects the changing and expanding roles, rights and responsibilities of women in today's society. The Women's Center offers all members of the campus and surrounding communities an opportunity to engage in a dialogue on women's issues. We promote the exploration of topics of individual and collective importance to women in an open and comfortable atmosphere. We support women in their search for personal development, their quest for self-esteem and their achievement of individual and social empowerment. We believe that positive change follows an open exchange of ideas and a thorough questioning and examination of women's roles in today's world.
So why do we need a Women's Center?
- Because worldwide, more than half the population of women over the age of 15 cannot read or write.
- Because according to the US Department of Justice, Bureau of Justice Statistics, 74% of completed and attempted sexual assaults against females were not reported to the police.
- Because there are approximately 8 million people suffering from anorexia nervosa in the U.S.; 90% of them are women.
- Because domestic violence is the leading cause of injury and death for women worldwide.
- Because, in the U.S., one in five women will be victims of rape in her lifetime. A woman is raped every 3 minutes.
- Because there is no country in the world where women's wages are equal to those of men.
- Because Women's issues are everyone's issues!
The Women's Center is located in Student Center, 110.

This question is related to How to recover deleted files? but it is slightly different in nature.
Suppose I have a file named
~/something open in a text editor. Further suppose that I open a terminal and run the following command while the file is still open in the text editor:
rm ~/something
This will delete the file. Now suppose that I changed my mind and wanted to get the file back. The file is still open in the text editor, so it hasn't been removed from the disk or filesystem yet.
Is there any way to recover it?

Consider the manifold $\mathbb{R^2}\setminus \{0\}$, on which the group of rotation acts. The orbits of the group are the circles centered in the origin, and form a foliation of $\mathbb{R^2}\setminus \{0\}$. This foliation will be denoted by $F_1$. The foliation $F_1$ defines univocally another foliation $F_2$, with the following property: the tangent spaces of two leafs of $F_1$ and $F_2$ are orthogonal at the intersection point. In this case $F_2$ is composed by the radial lines from the origin.
My question is the following: to what extent this situation can be generalized, i.e.: assume to have a riemanian manifold $M$, possibly flat, with a foliation $F_1$ defined by the orbits of a group acting on $M$. To what extent does this foliation define univocally an orthogonal foliation $F_2$ with the property that the tangent spaces of any pair of leafs of $F_1$ and $F_2$ are orthogonal at the intersection point(s)?

I'm creating a list of members on my site, and I want to enable them to look for eachother by first name and last name or either one. The catch is that a user can have several names, like names and then nicknames, also a person can have more than one lastnames, their maiden name and then the lastname after marriage.
Once users fillout their names and last names, each user could have several names and last names, for example There could be a person with 3 names and 2 lastnames - names: Eleonora, Ela, El and lastnames: Smith, Brown.
Then if someone looks for Ela Brown, Eleonora Brown, Eleonora Smith or any other combination, they should find this person.
My question, is how should I set this all up in sql (mysql) so tha schema and search is efficient and fast? Didn't want to reinvent a wheel so I turned to pros and asking a question here.
Thanks guys
P.S. I guess the standard solution would be to have a user table, fname table, lname table, userfname table with userid and fnameid and userlname table with userid and lnameid, but I'm not sure if this is the best way to do this and wether or not search would be fast...

Elastic text areas - text areas the facebook way
Text Area the facebook way
Get your text areas to grow/shrink according to content
- No endless timer events, height is updated on key press
- You can define max an min height and height increment for the text area
- Can be applied directly to a HTML Text Area element, no need to create an Ext.Form.TextArea element
Demo & Download

Nice addon, i will try it on Ext core to see if it works the same way.
Haven't tryed yet, but i see in the code it triggers on keyup?, what happens if the default text in the text area is bigger than the textarea?, it resizes too?.
I mean if i put text in the textarea from lets say a DB and that text is bigger it gets resized too?.
Thanks for sharingJavier Rincón aka SysCobra
24 Apr 2009 9:36 AM #3
In my local machine it's working well with Ext 3
The text box will be resized if the default text is bigger / smaller than the initial text area height
29 Apr 2009 6:03 AM #4
Isn't this the same as the grow attribute textarea has?
29 Apr 2009 7:18 AM #5
29 Apr 2009 6:11 PM #6
different behaviours on Safari/Chrome and Firefox though.
in Safari/Chrome, typing an endlessly long string auto-wraps it; when string content height exceeds the height of the textarea, it doesn't grow.
in Firefox, typing the same endlessly long string doesn't auto-wrap it; textarea grows the moment a space or newline is introduced in the endlessly long string.
30 Apr 2009 6:31 AM #7
Thats a browser specific feature, some browsers do not split entire words
If you type the long string one letter after another it should resize because the resize code is triggered on key up
I guess an option could be added to allow the textarea to grow/shrink according to text width

And We Thought We Couldn't Love Olivia Wilde Any More
See her makeup must-haves, the crazy shirt she won't retire and the golden advice she got from Halle Berry
She's the girl next door if your neighbor happens to have supermodel good looks, a better sense of humor than Jimmy Fallon and gives the kind of life advice even your mom would love. These are the things that make Olivia Wilde a Hollywood darling -- not to mention her trendsetting fashion choices and acting chops. Follow her on the red carpet, and it's easy to see why she was tapped to be one of Revlon's spokesmodels.
After just a few minutes talking with Wilde, you'll walk away feeling like you've spent hours hanging out with your closest girlfriend. She's not afraid to crack a joke or laugh at herself, something she did often during our interview (I totally cracked up hearing her talk about her high school "old blues man" fashion phase). In fact, I wouldn't be surprised if fiancé, comedian Jason Sudeikis, goes to her for pointers.
The mom-to-be answered our favorite style questions, and even gave us some refreshingly positive advice on growing up.
1) TB: Describe your personal style in ten words or less.
OW: Pretty eclectic. I mean it's less eclectic now, I guess I've gotten more structured. My style is pretty simple, but structured.
2) TB: Who is your style icon?
OW: I have lots of style icons. They range from Katharine Hepburn to Charlotte Rampling to Bianca Jagger to Kate Moss to Alexa Chung. It really runs the gamut.
3) TB: Is there anything in your wardrobe that you refuse to throw away?
OW: Yeah! I have a t-shirt that I got when I was in seventh grade, and it's Crazy Eddie, an electronic salesman. (Olivia straightens up and scoots closer, prepping herself for an impression that has me in hysterics.) So [in his commercials] he'd go "Crazy Eddie, his prices are INSANE-sane-sane!" I think he's in jail now for tax evasion -- his prices were a little too insane. It's this bright neon yellow t-shirt that I got when I was twelve, and now it is paper-paper thin and it's about to fall apart because it's made of butterfly wing dust now.
4) TB: What products will you never leave the house without?
OW: Concealer, eyebrow pencil and then usually something to take my look from day to night. If you don't have the chance to go home and you just want to amp it up a little bit, maybe an eyeliner to make it look a little bit more defined, a little more dramatic. But as far as what I always want to have on me, it's usually a concealer and something for my lip; some kind of lip butter, lip balm or something.
5) TB: What's the best style advice you've ever received?
OW: Know your body, and style yourself for your body. I feel like the first time my stylist looked at me and said, "you have short legs and a long torso," I was like [she takes a huge gasp and breaks into a fake, lip-quivering crying] but then I realized she was helping me out. The world of fashion magazines and all of that inspiration is great as long as you see it as just that; inspiration. It has ideas that you can apply to your life, but it's not about saying "that's the trend, I have to be that." That will never work out for you.
6) TB: Has your anti-aging regimen changed since working on the Revlon Age Defying Collection?
OW: I think the words anti-aging make people feel nervous because it feels like you are trying to stave off this inevitable kind of tidal wave of something bad. If you think about it as just maintenance and health then it's more about evolving into the next best version of yourself. When we were shooting the commercial, I of course said to Halle Berry "What is your secret? How do you do it?" And she was just saying, "you really get to know yourself." And that's what I already feel. It's about discovering how you look now and how to accentuate the great things.

Why do you (usually) need to enter your e-mail adress when commenting a blog post? I guess it's for some kind of spam-protection but if the system doesn't need it - is it ok to skip that input field or could the be another reason to keep it?
One of the main advantages for requiring the user to enter in their email address when commenting is actually for the site administrator. There may be instances where your comment prompts a response not suited to, or too large for the comments section, and as such they will contact you directly.
It also acts as an extra barrier (although not a very good one) against spam and troll commenters. The mere fact that the user has to complete an extra field and make up an email address just to write "first" on a post, will turn that user away in many cases.
My web comic doesn't have login accounts -- it's more secure for my site as a one-person operation and it reduces barriers to getting people to comment. Asking for an email address serves two purposes:
Reason to include an email address:
If both cases do not apply, leaving it out might simplify the commenting experience.

Our JK-aged son can't open them reliably, but they're great for my lunch Review by Michelle
Price Value Quality
We tried these with our son - who is 4.5 now, and quite able to get into most containers. He couldn't get into these reliably, without risking making a big mess. In the end, we're lucky that he goes to a school that can help a bit at lunch, but we don't send these in much at all, since we know they're busy enough over lunches.Would you recommend this product to a friend? Unlikely
However, they are great for my lunch! (Posted on 3/21/13)

|A - Z Index
Parks staff joined neighbors on May 21th to dedicate the creek daylighting project. Mayor Greg Nickels was the keynote speaker for the event, which was well attended by the community. See the photos below of the daylighted creek and new entries.
The project is completed except for a portion of the site along the west side. We are unable to complete this work until the slide work underneath the Admiral Way bridge is completed by SPU. Once this occurs we will be able to come up the entry road to do some additional landscaping and remove construction debris. Also, the overall impacted area that was daylighted and restored will remain closed for restoration until the Summer of 2003. We will re-evaluate the site in July 2003 to see if it is ready to be reopened. Access is allowed through and around the site during this time.
|Project History/Background:
Schmitz Preserve was donated to the city in pieces between 1908 and 1912. The most generous chunk came from a German immigrant/pioneer/banker/realtor named Ferdinand Schmitz, who served on the park commission during those years. It was Schmitz's idea, as he saw how rapidly the great forest was disappearing, to preserve part of it in its natural state. Upon transfer of the property to the City, the Schmitz family requested that the property was to be � at all times retained and used for park and parkway purposes� in order that certain natural features be preserved.
Even Schmitz's land had not been completely untouched by logging, though. Some huge stumps in the park still show deep notches hacked high above the ground for the "spring-boards" on which axe men would stand to avoid having to chop through the lower root crown, the thickest and hardest part of the tree. After 1908, however, the new park rapidly gained popularity as a quiet complement to the West Seattle park complex. Except for the paved entrance and a parking lot at the northwest corner, the park has remained essentially unchanged ever since.
Pro Parks Language:
Park improvements may include daylighting the creek, entry improvements, habitat restoration and reforestation.
Project Description:
Rebuild the drainage to handle heavy seasonal and storm flow capacities, include creek "daylighting" to provide a more natural appearance, but still with improved performance. This will include removal of the parking lot and restoration of that open area to a natural condition.
Anticipated Impacts:
Parking lot will be removed from the interior of the Park.
The current parking lot and entry off Admiral will have to be closed down during construction.
This area will remained closed until plant establishment occurs.

I've been asked by a client to do this:
But I have no idea how I would go about it, particularly in Wordpress. I searched around Google a bit, but it looks like this design was just lifted from an iPhone or is a Flash animation (I'm lame at Flash, so want to keep things all-based in HTML, CSS and JS - preferably jQuery).
Has anyone done this sort of thing? I'm assuming it would be quite complicated as the date picker needs to be populated dynamically as more and more posts are archived and to load the different queries created by selecting a month and year (to show the list of article titles to the right of it) would require some Ajax right?
Thanks for any pointers, especially if you can show me where a tutorial exists for this!

5 Of The Greatest Escape Artists Ever (Were Animals)
We already know how terrifyingly intelligent animals can be, and it's a somewhat sobering thought to learn how some individuals dedicate their intelligence to the sole mission of getting the hell out of whatever enclosure we humans have deemed secure enough to keep them in. Especially when they're using methods that, to be perfectly honest, would have never occurred to us.
#5. The Lock-Picking Orangutan
The staff at the Omaha zoo should have known they were asking for trouble when they gave a baby orangutan the name of evil criminal mastermind Fu Manchu. You're just giving him something to live up to, and this little guy nearly got his keepers fired over their inability to keep their orangutan in his cage.
Look at him, flaunting his nudity over all of us who have to wear pants.
Happily playing in their sun-drenched enclosure one minute, the staff were amazed to find Fu and his chums hanging out in some trees outside of their intended habitat a short while later. Finding a door to the exhibit left open, the head keeper figured some staff member had left it unlocked. Then it happened again. And again. The keeper was furious and was about to fire a staff member for failing to do the rather fundamental zoo task of keeping the animals from just leaking out all over the grounds.
"He's getting away. And he stole my bike!"
Finally, somebody happened to be watching when Fu Manchu proceeded to do something no earthly primate should know how to do. First he climbed through the air vents to a dry moat below. Then, he yanked on the door until he could force a little bit of a gap. At that point he slipped a piece of wire through, and used to unhook the latch keeping the door locked.
"Come out to the zoo, we'll get together, have a few laughs..."
Let's let that sink in for a minute.
Within 24 hours of witnessing the orangutan's escape method, staff noticed something shiny sticking out of Fu Manchu's mouth. It was the piece of wire he had used to slip the latch of the door, bent to fit between his gum and lip so he could keep it hidden between escapes.So, stop and ask yourself: Would you even have thought of that?
Zoo officials report that Fu Manchu is currently learning how to carve a shiv.
#4. The Monkey Catapult
The Primate Research Institute at Kyoto University in Japan is regarded as one of the world's leading facilities on all things simian. Given their expertise, you'd think they would know at the very least how to keep their research subjects on the general premises.
Giving them planes may have been a mistake.
But in July 2010, a group of 15 monkeys were found sitting outside their enclosure, which by the way, was surrounded by a 17-foot-high electric fence. Studying their escape method confirmed a long-held belief that real monkeys function exactly the same as cartoon monkeys.
Velociraptors ain't got shit on our furry cousins.
Like any good electric monkey fence, climbing over it and tunneling under were both impossible. The monkeys realized their only option was to go over the damn thing, and in the most ridiculous manner possible. They climbed the trees about 10 feet away from the fence, bent back the branches, and used the tension to catapult themselves over the high voltage barrier to freedom.
Artist's rendering.
Once they were out, however, the monkeys talked amongst themselves and decided that living in a posh 5-Star resort was at least marginally better than the parking lot. Some returned on their own, and the rest were found "hanging around" near the building, and came back when "bribed with peanuts."
"You may take our lives, but you'll never take... our FRE- oh hell, are those peanuts?"
#3. Chuva the Macaw Hitches a Ride
In April 2009, staff at the Greater Vancouver Zoo panicked when they noticed they had misplaced one of their exhibits, a six-year-old blue and gold macaw (which is a bird, in case you're not up to speed on your zoology) called Chuva, who had a chip on her shoulder and a reputation for being rather "bitey."
Taking advantage of a beautiful spring day, Chuva and her feathered friends were taken from their usual enclosure and allowed to roam the outdoor parrot gardens found at the front of the zoo. The birds' wings had been clipped to ensure they weren't able to take a flight right out of there, so when the keepers realized one of their charges was missing, they weren't too worried because honestly, birds don't run worth a shit.
With some notable exceptions.
But they couldn't find her anywhere, and finally issued a statement beseeching the local community to report any sightings of their AWOL parrot, adding, "We looked everywhere, and couldn't find her, and couldn't find her, and couldn't find her." We assume the zoo was trying to convey that despite searching everywhere once, they couldn't find her three times over, thus conveying that Chuva was a massive 300 percent missing.
Not surprising really, given that Chuva was already some distance away from the zoo and rolling down the highway. Despite her wings being clipped, the parrot had had managed to sneak out of the gardens and into the parking lot, where she hopped aboard a visiting RV and hitched a ride for some 20 miles.
"Alright, Chuva. This is your shot. Your moment.
The zoo staff was delighted to receive the call from the somewhat surprised owners of the vehicle, who found the stowaway when they stopped at a shopping mall. Chuva now presumably spends most of her days ensnaring the attention of the younger birds with ever-more exaggerated tales of her great escape.
"Yeah, I killed 'em both. And a cop. If it hadn't been for the SWAT team, I'd be in Mexico by now."

The old first person snowballer, loved that game.
The old first person snowballer, loved that game.
I remember playing the muliplayer and nobody was allowed to use Ike because he was barely the size of a pixel on splitscreen. The rest of the game was horrible, though.
So in light of THQ filing for Bankruptcy, how is it going to affect this game? I hope it still comes out.
Well hopefully somebody else will take it on to publish and it'll be released with little change. AS IF. I can't wait to see how badly EA/Activision/challenger fucks it up.
It looks like their four titles should all carry on unchanged under the company positioned to acquire them.
Seems like the perfect opportunity for any of the big boys to buy, release what are pretty much already finished games, then close the studios and move the highlights of those teams into your existing staff.
Question is will the sales of those games recoup the losses on the acquisition. Guess it depends how cheap they can buy it for.
South Park is secure whatever happens. It's a money spinner in waiting, and since most of the work is done, anybody could pull a Gearbox and swoop in for a bargain. Right now, it seems that these Clearlake guys are holding on to each game because that's how they're going to make their money back from buying THQ. After that, I have no idea.
Should still be released
I also enjoyed the N64 South Park game were you threw snowballs. Looking back though, that game had the most monotonous gameplay, and the humor of the old South Park episodes (not holding up to well). Hopefully, this will be a classic. I have my doubts though, as Stone/Parker tend to spin all of their puns around current events, and that could end up as something irrelevant as time goes by. I hope I'm wrong though, as the footage Ive seen has been really enjoyable. I would like to see some gameplay though. Are there skills, spells, special attacks, potions etc. that you tend to see in other (turn based?) RPGs?
I'd think they have the sensibilities to not fill the game with topical crap. As they're gamers and know a thing or two about what's shit in games, I'm really hoping for something special. I mean come on, they actually mapped out South Park for this thing, something they've never done for anything before.
Wasn't the episode they've taken the art/idea from and expanded a more traditional South Park, a story focused on the characters. I can't remember it tackling any hot topics like the other recent episodes do so I can't see it having that kind of commentary other than quips and homages to other games.
Yeah it's going to be similar in theme to the episode The Return of the Fellowship of the Ring to the Two Towers.
Well shit, seems like THQ has defaulted payments to South Park devs, and now shit is ugly. I'd hate for this game to be a victim of this fiasco in any way.
Oh man, suck. I was looking forward to this. Hope something can be worked out.
God, I can almost hear EA salivating in the wings.
I'm not worried about SoT never seeing the light of day, though. This mother will print money. Some of these THQ games are in the polishing stages (like Company of Heroes 2), so I don't think anybody will pass up the chance for an easy, short-term, buck. After that...well, who knows.
Parker and Stone are battling to save their game I guess, if it gets fucked over expect to see it satirised in the next 12 months.
Probably within a week or two of the resolution. They work crazy fast.
Especially when pissed off.
Oh yeah, it's going to happen. They've ripped into the industry so many times, but this would make for a brilliant meta-episode.
Surely they wouldn't air it until the next season starts, anyone know when that is by the way?
They show seasons it halves every spring and autumn so in March we should get either a new season or the ass end of the current one.
Well, it's now in the possession of Ubisoft... for better or worse. At least we know they have the budget to throw some weight behind this title; I just hope it's not at the expense of some shitty DLC implementation.

By Jack Elliot Jr./The Associated Press
JACKSON — Mississippi lawmakers are toying with approving almost 40 new specialty car tags in 2012 — one of the largest such authorizations in recent years.
While motorists complain about the high costs of Mississippi license plates, about 560,000 of them have shelled out an extra $30 or more for a variety of specialty tags so far. This year, legislators are being asked to authorize new tags to support local schools, medical and fraternal organizations, swimmers, golfers and the Singing Brakeman.
Born in Meridian in 1897, Jimmie Rodgers was known as the "Singing Brakeman" for his work on the railroad. He recorded more than 120 songs, starting in 1927, and was also called the "Father of Country Music." He died in 1933.
Rodgers has been honored with an annual festival in Meridian since 1953, and it attracts thousands of visitors. The Jimmie Rodgers Memorial Museum opened in the city in 1996.
Betty Lou Jones, president of the Jimmie Rodgers Foundation, expects the specialty car tag to pay tribute to Rodgers and bring money into the museum. Jones said the tag design will probably be of Rodgers holding a guitar.
"We are always in need of money as any museum," Jones said.
"Mississippi is known as the birthplace of American music," she said. "Jimmie Rodgers is one of the reasons we have that title. He was the most influential Mississippian in the musical world. The tag will create interest in Jimmie Rodgers and more people will come to love his music like we do."
Other specialty tags in the 2012 legislation include ones for the Mississippi Golf Association, supporters of the Tuskegee Airmen, cystic fibrosis awareness, the Mississippi Swimming Association, private and commercial pilots and a dozen school systems.
Mississippi's' flirtation with specialty license plates dates back to 1942, when $15 would get an amateur radio operator a tag with his official call letters rather than usual combinations of numbers and letters.
Mississippi had 2.67 million tag registrations for the fiscal year that ended June 30, 2011. State Department of Revenue records show that more than 640,000 were classified as special tags, and 80,573 were classified as vanity tags with people's names or phrases like TAG2HI.
Mississippi has now more than six dozen specialty tags, touting everything from wildlife conservation to public and private universities. There are tags for Purple Heart winners, firefighters and law enforcement officers, even tags for legislators and ex-governors.
Drivers pay extra fees for specialty tags, and money is routed to various programs. The wildlife tags, for instance, bring money for wildlife conservation. The Mississippi Burn Care Fund collects $1 off each specialty tag.
The competition for those dollars is fierce as lawmakers annually expand the offerings. Organizations rally the faithful because before a design can be produced, 300 tags must be sold in advance.
University and college tags were the most popular during the past fiscal year with more than 45,000; followed by wildlife tags at more than 30,000; and retired military at more than 24,000, records showed.
The deer tag was the most popular with 8,274, followed by the hummingbird with 5,096.
Mississippi State University at 15,573 topped the University of Mississippi's 14,030 among the universities.
Among the retired military, the Air Force, with 7,381, led the Army, with 6,938.
Records show there were 8,598 "Choose Life" tags and 10,814 NASCAR tags.
Department of Revenue figures show disbursements from the sale of specialty tags totaled $4.2 million. Total disbursements for the fiscal year ending June 30, 2011, were $115.9 million, including money paid to transportation programs, state and county treasuries, trauma care and burn care.

.......I bought it when it was $29.99
*sad face
The design is not very neatly done, otherwise it woudlve been better
I wore the Dragon to Renn faire this year and it was a smashing hit. this was back when it was full price. at this price it's a steal. don't bother with the cheap knock-offs you may find elsewhere, these two are designed and made by alchemy gothic and are quality pieces of pewter jewellery
You guys know you can get this on amazon for like $4.00 shipped http://www.amazon.com/Dragons-Lure-Gothic-Earring-Right/dp/B0081E7P1O/ref=sr_1_2?ie=UTF8&qid=1355176586&sr=8-2&keywords=dragon+earring
i own the amazon dragons lure, while definitely worth the $2 i paid, it took over a month to deliver and is definitely not the same as the brand name version on thinkgeek by alchemy gothic. the dragons lure is not pewter, is smaller than the dragon wrap, is not as detailed or intricate.
to say these are the in the same league would be like trying to pawn off Shenzhen miPgones as Apple iPhones as saying "hey, you know you can get the same thing for $50"

With the collaboration of Member States, ICAO plays an essential leadership role in the field of aviation security with the ultimate goal of enhancing civil aviation security worldwide. To this end, its efforts are focused primarily on developing and coordinating an effective global policy and legal framework in response to the evolving threat to civil aviation, conducting audits that identify aviation security shortcomings, and assisting States in implementing security Standards and resolving deficiencies.
With the benefit of hindsight, it may seem hard to imagine how the need to address acts of sabotage, unlawful seizure of aircraft and the use of civil aircraft in terrorist attacks (as was the case on 11 September 2001) could have been overlooked by the drafters of the Chicago Convention, ICAO's founding charter and cornerpiece for international technical legislation in the field of civil aviation. In 1944, however, no one foresaw such security threats and the need for security measures.

Mexican woman arrested in drug seizure in Nogales
NOGALES, AZ - Federal authorities say a Mexican woman has been arrested for allegedly trying to smuggle black tar heroin, cocaine and methamphetamine into southern Arizona.
U.S. Customs and Border Protection officers at the Nogales Port took 34-year-old Reyna Gisela Ramirez-Hernandez into custody Friday.
She's from Hermosillo, Sonora.
CBP officials say her van was referred for additional inspection and a CBP narcotics detection canine alerted to the presence of drugs within the vehicle's firewall-dash area.
Authorities say about $233,000 worth of black tar heroin, cocaine and methamphetamine were discovered.
The drugs and vehicle were seized and Ramirez-Hernandez was turned over to U.S. Immigration and Customs Enforcement's Homeland Security Investigations.

I am having trouble expressing the titular question as iterated integrals over a given region. I have tried narrowing down the problem, and have concluded that the simplest way to approach this is to integrate over the XZ plane in the positive octant and multiply by 8, but I am having trouble identifying the bounding functions.
The solid lies above the region $D$ in the $xy$-plane bounded by the circle $x^{2} + y^{2} = r^{2}$, so the volume is given by the integral $$\int\int\limits_{D} f(x,y) \ dA = \int\limits_{-r}^{r}\int\limits_{-\sqrt{r^{2}-y^{2}}}^{\sqrt{r^{2}-y^{2}}} f(x,y) \ dx dy$$
Therefore the required volume of the solid is: $$\int\limits_{-r}^{r}\int\limits_{-\sqrt{r^{2}-y^{2}}}^{\sqrt{r^{2}-y^{2}}} 2\sqrt{r^{2}-y^{2}} \ dx dy = \frac{16}{3}r^{3}$$
This is one of those results in calculus which were anticipated by Archimedes. He gave a correct formula for the volume but it is not known exactly how Archimedes solved this problem. There is, however, a simple way to obtain the answer without much calculus. Let me quote from late Gardner's The Unexpected Hanging and Other Mathematical Diversions (Gardner considers the case $r=1$ but this is not essential, of course):
$$\frac{4\pi r^3/3}{x}=\frac{\pi}{4}.$$

Who knows sixty?
Please cite/link your sources, if possible. At some point in the next few days, I will:
Sixty describes a verse in Song of Songs that Artscroll interprets two different ways.
Artscroll siddur page 293:
Same Hebrew verse, same exact Artscroll siddur, eight pages later:
Sixty is the rule of thumb for the point at which most normal foodstuffs are diluted, by volume, beyond tasteability. (As Rabbi Moshe Dovid Tendler has pointed out, the notion of homoeopathic dilutions really doesn't click with this.)
The practice of some Sephardic Jews is to prefer to use a non-Jewish taste tester instead, but Ashkenazic practice relies on this rule of thumb, more or less exclusively*.
It's not per se that sixty-to-one is a halachically-magical number; I'd asked a medical-ethics posek if 1.6% is ever a threshold used in Halacha in the various discussions of odds and risk in Halacha; he said no, that's just about food.
Flavorings, including some food concentrates, are famously not nullified by 1:60; thus, if a non-kosher coffee flavoring is usually added 1:100 into plain coffee, that coffee remains non-kosher. However, the resulting flavored coffee is now a normal foodstuff, and would in turn be nullified if mixed 1:60 with plain coffee.
The Achronim debate, in the case of a non-kosher flavoring added 1:60+, whether the foodstuff is Biblically or Rabbinically prohibited. The logic to say it's Biblically prohibited is straightforward: it tastes non-kosher, it's non-kosher; 60 was just a rule of thumb. Those who argue it was Biblically permitted say (e.g. Chochmas Adam) that the Torah prohibition is only on "normally tasteable" proportionate tastes, not "trace" tastes. Which is awfully close to saying that 60 is a magic number ... (Well at least it's a unitary perfect number ...)
(* Yes there are exceptions, but that's too complicated for here.)
60 are the number of letters in Birkas Kohanim. These are compared to valiant warriors who guard and protect the Jewish People. (Tanchuma, Naso 9, et al, interpreting Song of Songs 3:7)
In Bavel, they asked for rain (tal umatar) 60 days after Tekufas Tishrei (Taanis 10a)
60 is how many myriads of Israelites there were in the desert.
Also the proportion of a stingy person's crop to the amount he gives as t'ruma.
Also death:sleep.
Hineh mitaso sheliShlomo, shishim giborim saviv lah Migiborei Yisrael. Shir Hashirim 3:7
This can refer to: 60 myriads that left Egypt (Rashi); The 24 priestly shifts + 24 Levite shifts + 12 divisions of Israel during the time of the Beis Hamikdash who conquered their (bad) inclinations (Metzudas David); The 60 letters that the Kohanim bless Yisrael with (Unkolos); etc.
60 is the age at which one becomes a senior (Pirkei Avos 5:25) (in contrast to the opinion of the AARP).
The angels Gabriel and Metatron are given with sixty fiery lashes (Yoma 77a, Hagigah 15a). Gabriel for disobeying orders and Metatron to demonstrate the unity of Gd.
Elijah is also punished in this way, (B. Metz 85b)
60 is the gematria of גאון (Gaon) - the title given to one who has mastered all of the 60 mesechtos of Shas by heart. (The three Bavas are counted as one mesechta, and Sanhedrin and Makkos are counted as one - רדב"ז; רלט-שלג, or by counting Ma'aseros and Ma'ser Sheni as one, see here)
Zohar Vayigash 211:1 says that the amount Agalos that Yoseph sent to Yaakov was 60.
Bechoros 8a says that a pig's pregnancy lasts 60 days.

Now put the verb in 連用形 to get:
One of the uses of the 連用形 is to join up several sentences as subphrases into a large continuous sentence.*
One sentence has been established, which is in 3.
The other sentence is
Combining them yields "She has a lively expression, she is very pretty"
EDIT: Regarding your comment on trying to introduce a "because" nuance.
You can use the て-form of the verb to introduce an implicit sequence of events. (Weak causal relation)(If you want a stronger causal relation, use から)
See Verb Grammar - The Verb Conjunctive Form(You have to scroll down a little bit)
The difference between linking sentences with て-form and linking with 連用形 is that there is no implicit sequence of events when linking with 連用形.

It replaces the verb stem
The construction in your example uses a verb stem to continue another predicate after it as in:

I should have actually submitted this tutorial with the witch related stuff because spellbooks are almost always associated with witches and wizards. I tried making this drawing concept as simple as possible so folks wouldn't have a hard time when it comes time to replicate it. It's an open book with a nice red colored ribbon as a bookmark. You can draw in actual letters if you like, but I just kept things simple by drawing simple meaningless lines. This should make your day if you love magic, wizards, or witches. Have fun drawing a spellbook folks, I will be back in no time at all. Adios mi amigos!

Looking back at 2011, one of the biggest highlights for us was our trip to New York back in September. We were there to honor all the lives lost ten years ago on 9/11 by serving at The Bowery Mission and The Relief Bus. It was so much fun to do the show from the ABC News studios in Manhatten...in fact, the entire trip was life changing!
One part of our trip that impacted me the most was serving along side Mandisa and Tenth Avenue North at The Bowery Mission (see the photo below!). We had the opportunity to talk with James Macklin, the Director of Outreach at The Bower Mission, about his story. I was blown away when Mandisa sang "Stronger" for the guests and I walked away a different person, gaining more from serving than being served.
"Serving at The Relief Bus with Big Daddy Weave impacted me equally as we served soup to the homeless. I was changed by serving at both of these ministries."- Scott
"I have to say that serving at The Relief Bus was life changing for me! I was stunned to see that the face of homelessness has changed. There were several people in business suites coming to get soup because they could not afford to buy lunch. In fact, Mike Weaver, from Big Daddy Weave, shared about how it impacted him to be a part of distributing clothing and food that day. It was a humbling and incredible experience."- Kelli
Listen this Saturday (12/31/2011) and Sunday (1/1/2012) from 2pm to 4pm Central to hear us talk about all the Top Stories and Songs of 2011.
Reflecting on 2011 this week, so far we have looked at Joplin's devastation and restoration as well as Gabrielle Giffords amazing story of love and strength. Today we remember the horrible tragedy that took place back in March when an 9.0 magnitude earthquake and tsunami hit Japan. Villages, towns, cities, ports, boats and houses were destroyed. Lives were lost and all of Japan was impacted.
Although there was so much destruction something great took place. Several people and organizations stepped up, came together, just to help. Among the organizations was World Vision, Compassion International and Convoy of Hope. These organizations helped create several relief effort needs with fundraising, sending people and supplies. It was amazing to see so many organizations come together to support one tragic cause. We asked you to pray for everyone impacted by this tragic event and you stepped up in a big way.
"'Though the mountains be shaken and the hills be removed, yet my unfailing love for you will not be shaken nor my covenant of peace be removed,' says the Lord who has compassion on you." --Isaiah 54:12
In 2011 we discovered that every day over 4,000 children are dying of water-related diseases due to unclean drinking water. We took this cause head on with Compassion's Water of Life, a safe water system that protects a child from life-threatening diseases for life. With your help we were able to send out several thousand Water of Life systems. It was a great moment for us in 2011 to see your response to such a great need.
We have shared two more of our highlights of 2011. Share your highlight or your personal moment with us here or on Facebook.
Thank you for making 2011 such a great year, looking forward to what God is doing in 2012.
Looking back on 2011 we remember Gabby Giffords' story, one that begins with destruction from a single gun shot in a Safeway parking lot in Tulsa, AZ. To a story of love and strength born from a difficult journey of rehabilitation. Her husband, Astronaut Mark Kelly, stood by her side consistently pouring out encouragement to lift up his wife and love to carry her through tough trials. In Mark's love for Gabby we see scripture come to life, "Husbands, love your wives, just as Christ also loved the church and gave Himself up for her," Ephesians 5:25. God also tells us, "The thief comes only to steal and kill and destroy; I came that they may have life, and have it abundantly." John 10:10. We have learned that with love we gain strength to overcome difficult situations together.
Absolutely an amazing story as we look back on 2011. What was something that happened in your life in 2011 that has prepared you for this coming new year? Share with us here or on our Facebook Page.

A is a 2x3 matrix and B is a 3x2. How can i prove that the matrix D = AB is not invertible. I could not go further in this problem. The only thing that i have found is the multiply of these two matrix will be 2x2 matrix but how can i find it is not invetible?
The statement would be true if you considered $D = BA$.
You can see that the matrix $A$ gives rise to a transformation $T_A : \mathbb R^3 \to \mathbb R^2$. Similarly, the matrix $B$ gives rise to $T_B : \mathbb R^2 \to \mathbb R^3$ and $T_D = T_B \circ T_A : \mathbb R^3 \to \mathbb R^3$. The problem with $T_D$ is that $$ \mathrm{Im}(T_D) \subseteq \mathrm{Im}(T_B) $$ and $T_B$ cannot be surjective because the image of a basis in $\mathbb R^2$ can span at most a subspace of $\mathbb R^3$ of dimension $2$, not $3$.
Hope that helps,
in general if $A$ is a $m\times n$ matrix and $B$ is a $n\times m$ matrix with $n < m$ then $AB$ cannot be invertible.
results used:
a matrix $A$ is invertible iff $Ax = 0$ has only trivial solution.
$A$ is a $m\times n$ matrix with $m < n$ then $Ax=0$ has non trivial solution.
there is nontrivial $x_0$ such that such that $Bx_0=0$ hence $AB(x_0) = 0$ as a result $AB$ cannot be invertible
[assuming $n<m$] Recall that $\text{rank}( A ),\text{rank}(B)\leqslant\min\{n,m\} $, and $\text{rank}(AB)\leqslant\min\{\text{rank}A,\text{rank}B\}$. The product is a $m\times m$ matrice with rank $\leqslant n < m$, and therefore cannot be invertible.

Children's Residential Care
Birmingham City Council has 20 Children's Homes that work with children and young people.In addition, there are six Children's Homes for children with disabilities and one home known that is a Community Home with Education (CH(E)).
A Children's Home is a large house where children and young people live together as a group, with professional staff to look after them.
Children's Homes aim to ensure that the needs of children are met when they cannot live with their own family. They are a place for children to develop and grow, as well as providing food, shelter, and space for play and leisure in a caring environment. Children's Homes look after children with many different needs.
When children and young people come to live in a Children's Home they will have a Care Plan. Their Care Plan says why a child is living in residential care, what is supposed to happen while they are living there and what is supposed to happen at the end of their stay. Most children return home, but a few go to live with other families and a few go to live in other homes. Older children who are not planning to return home are given help to prepare them for living on their own - this is called the Careleavers Service.
Education is important. Children go to their own school if they have a school place, or we help to get them back into school. The exception to this is the CH(E) and in the two specialist Children's Homes where education is available on site. Some young people may still attend resources in the community, for example school, college, etc.
It is very important that children and young people stay in touch with their family and friends. It is only when they might be hurt, or a Court Order says that contact is forbidden, that some children are unable to have visits from their family or are unable to visit them.
Children and young people are respected as individuals. By providing for their religious and cultural needs children are encouraged to keep their sense of personal identity and community.
Eligibility for the serviceChildren and young people have to live away from their own families for all sorts of reasons. These may include:
- their parents are unwell;
- they have problems with their family and need to spend some time away from home; eg: behaviour problems or educational difficulties;
- they may have a disability and need a break from living with their families;
- they are in the care of local authority, subject to a Court Order or an Interim Care Order.
Generally, when children and young people need to live away from their families, they will stay with foster carers. It is only when Foster Care is either not possible or not desirable accommodation or may not be what the young person would choose that children will live in a children's home.
In all cases, we make sure that all the alternatives are fully considered before recommending residential care.

Hi Folks,
I just came across a few lines where a (sheaf-)cohomology group of a scheme is treated as a sheaf. I've never seen this in Hartshorne. Could you give any reference for this?
Hi Folks,
I just came across a few lines where a (sheaf-)cohomology group of a scheme is treated as a sheaf. I've never seen this in Hartshorne. Could you give any reference for this?
I guess you have seen sheaf cohomology as being the right derived functor of the global section functor, taking a sheaf $\mathcal{F}$ on a space $X$ to the abelian group $\Gamma(X,\mathcal{F})$. Suppose $X$ is a $k$-scheme, where $k$ is any field, with structural morphism $f:X\to\mathrm{Spec}(k)$. Then you can consider, on $\mathrm{Spec}(k)$, the sheaf $f_* \mathcal{F}$. Since sheaves on the spectrum of a field are not terribly sexy, you see that this guy is defined by its global sections, which by definition coincide with global sections of $\mathcal{F}$ over $X$: in other words, the functor $\Gamma(X,-)$ "coincides" with the functor $f_*$ (the reason for my quotes is that the first functor takes values in Ab while the second takes values in Sh($\mathrm{Spec}(k)$) but you can figure out the point, I guess).
Then, in general, given any map of schemes $f:X\to Y$ you can define for any sheaf $\mathcal{F}$ on $X$ its direct image $f_* \mathcal{F}$ getting a functor from Sh($X$) to Sh($Y$) who is left exact. Its right derived functors $R^if_*$ now produce sheaves on $Y$ and the $R^if_*\mathcal{F}$ can be thought of as the relative cohomology of $\mathcal{F}$, precisely as before. This is indeed done in Hartshorne, see Section 8 of chapter $III$ and self-references therein. You can also find something on this point of view in Weibel's Homological Algebra. Note that what I have said above does not need $f$ to really be a map between schemes, it works in a more general setting once you have a formalism taking "sheaves over somebody to sheaves over somebody else" – and this is the starting point of many cohomology theories you might encounter, like étale cohomology.
Just as an addition:
In many settings you can think about the higher direct image of sheaves as the $\mathcal{O}_X$-module associated to the cohomology group.
Proposition 8.5 Hartshorne:
Let $X$ be a noetherian scheme, and let $f:X \rightarrow Y$ be a morphism of $X$ to an affine Scheme $Y=Spec\; A$. For any quasi-coherent sheaf $\mathcal{F}$ on $X$ we have: $R^i f_{*}( \mathcal{F}) \cong H^ i(X,\mathcal{F})^{\sim}$

Racing Rearend Build - Building The Ultimate Rearend, Part 2Written by on September 1, 2011 We've already built the ultimate low-drag rearend, now we show you how to get it into your Dirt Late Model to get all of that horsepower to the ground reliably
Welcome to Part 2 of our look into maximizing your driveline efficiency in order to get more power from your engine to the rear wheels. Now that more and more racers are involved in classes that require crate motors, spec motors, or just horsepower-choking two-barrel carburetors, there has lately been a greatly increased emphasis from race teams on eliminating as much driveline resistance as possible. And we're definitely on board with that.
In last month's Circle Track, we ripped apart Bulldog Rearend's new CT-1 closed tube rearend for stock car racing. Previously known for its excellent live-axle rearends for Sprint Car racing, Bulldog's new CT-1 quick-change rear has several features designed to reduce rolling resistance. But during our teardown and inspection we also found several well-thought-out design upgrades that should provide for lots of trouble-free racing. We've also outfitted the rear with a pair of Bulldog 31-spline axles that are polished and gun drilled which should make for both strength and a lowered moment of inertia.
Along with the rearend, we also took a close look at a pair of new billet aluminum wide-five hubs from Joe's Racing Products in the last issue. These billet hubs are stronger than the traditional cast units, and the idea is in the event of a hard hit the hubs will absorb more of the energy from the impact instead of breaking and allowing more of the energy to be transmitted to other components. In addition, these hubs are designed to allow you to choose between packing your bearings with grease or filling the hubs with lightweight oil to reduce rolling resistance. We'll take a closer look at that in this article.
Finally, we'll complete our buildup with a set of rotors, calipers, and pads from Wilwood to provide a little "whoa" to all that "go." We'll also get everything mounted up in the car with a J-bar from Joe's, birdcages speced out for our chassis by Stuckey Racing Enterprises, and a few other odds and ends. So settle in as we get a rearend installed with a minimum of hassle or aggravation and get ready to go racing. Even though we're working on a Mastersbilt by Stuckey Dirt Late Model chassis, many of these same tips will work no matter what brand of chassis you are working on.
AMSOIL: Superior Lubrication
Bulldog sends a gallon of gear oil along with its rearend, but we prefer to run AMSOIL Severe Gear SAE 75W-110 because we're confident in its ability to provide superior lubrication and also pull damaging heat out of the ring and pinion gears.
More Photos From This Article View Slideshow
For our braking package we're using Wilwood's forged Superlite calipers along with its excellent rotors and pads. Wilwood offers a even lighter Dynalite caliper, but driver Chris Hargett feels most comfortable racing this caliper/pad/rotor combination and has a lot of confidence that it gives him a consistent braking feel lap after lap, so we went with it.Neil Wilson slides on the TWR birdcages spec'ed out by Stuckey Enterprises for use with this chassis. The birdcages should slide right on, but you may want to use a little antisieze to help keep them rotating smoothly.After the birdcages, Chris Hargett slides on the hub assembly with the brake rotor already bolted and torqued in place. We're working toward getting the brake caliper brackets installed, but they are easier to properly locate on the axle tubes once everything else is already in place.The Joe's Racing hub spacer slides between the inner and outer hub bearings. Notice the threaded collar on the end. You can spin the collar to either shorten or lengthen the spacer to set the proper preload. Once it's right, you can lock it down by tightening the set screw. Then, every time you tear the hub down for maintenance you can be confident the preload will be correct on reassembly.Once the spacer is properly adjusted, slide the outer bearing over the axle tube and into the race and then thread on the billet aluminum hub nut.If you don't use the spacer, you can set your preload by tightening down on the hub nut until you get the right amount. This is all about feel, so unless you are experienced with this, it's difficult to explain exactly how much the nut should be tightened to get the right amount of preload. A hub socket, like you see here, is definitely a great investment if you're maintaining your equipment properly. You can try it by tightening the hub nut with a pair of channel locks, but the experience is almost certainly more trouble than it's worth.Once the hub nut is correct, this tap slides into the keyway cut into the axle tube to lock the hub nut in place.Button head screws attach the locking tab to the hub nut. Once everything is in place, there's no way the hub nut can back off and screw up the preload you've worked so hard to set.
Once the hub nut is correct, this tap slides into the keyway cut into the axle tube to lock the hub nut in place.Bolt the caliper to the caliper mounting bracket, then slide the caliper over the rotor and bolt the bracket to the tube. Leave the bolts loose enough so that you can still slide things around a bit. Hargett prefers to mount the caliper brackets so that the calipers are vertical and directly behind the axle tubes to help protect them. These Wilwood units have bleeder valves at both ends of the caliper which is a great feature, but if yours don't, make sure you have a bleeder valve at the top of the caliper.Now it's time to properly locate the brake caliper before drilling the bracket mounting holes into the axle tubes. The easiest way to do this is to thread a properly sized pipe nipple onto an air chuck, screw it into the fluid inlet on the caliper and use compressed air to extend the pads so that they've grabbed onto the rotor and locked everything in place. Notice the threaded hole just below the bolt on the caliper mounting bracket. That's where we'll drill the axle tube so we can permanently affix the bracket.Here's where the Joe's mounting kit becomes so valuable. The axle tube must be drilled and tapped in line with the hole in the caliper mounting bracket. But that's easier said than done. The mounting kit allows you to leave the caliper in place and ensures your hole is in the proper location and angle every time. The first step is to install the sleeve that guides the drill bit and holds it on the correct angle. It also protects the threads in the mounting bracket from damage from the spinning bit.After the holes have been drilled, the mounting kit also includes the correct tap to cut the threads into the tubes. Now all that's left is to clean the aluminum shavings out of the interior of the tube and bolt up the caliper mounting bracket permanently. Don't forget to apply antisieze to all bolts that are threading into aluminum.Although the 31-spline Bulldog axles are gun drilled, one end on each has a slug pressed into place. These allow you to install bolts on each end to use as spacers. Notice the nut that is also threaded onto the bolt before installing it onto the axle. This will be used as a lock-nut to keep things from moving once we've got the proper spacing for the axles. We haven't done it here yet, but you may also want to grind the end of the head of the bolts smooth.Slide both axles into the rearend. The ends of the bolts should contact each other in the center of the spool. The idea is to use the bolts as adjusters to hold the axles out just enough that the splines won't grind on the end of the tubes.
With the axles in place, the drive flanges are ready to be installed. But first we thought we'd show you a shot of the underside of these billet flanges before they are bolted up. Notice the O-ring which should seal the flange so that no messy silicone is necessary. Often, it's the little details like this that will make you life as a racer much easier.Bolt the drive flanges up. With the flange cover off it's possible to easily and quickly remove the axles for inspection if necessary.The Joe's Racing billet aluminum flange covers not only look nice, but they shouldn't get bent up and start leaking from after a couple of races.Before sliding the rearend underneath his race car, Hargett takes a moment to bolt up the brackets for the torque arm.Now we're ready to begin the process of hanging the rearend underneath the car. This chassis uses a four-bar setup, and the suspension arms bolt to the birdcages with Heim joints.Harget showed us this trick to keep the Heim joints rotating smoothly. He uses a grinder to roll back the underside of the head of the bolt (right) so that it can't catch and hang on the shoulder of the Heim joint like a stock bolt (left) potentially can.In addition to the other components we're using from Joe's Racing, we've also chosen this billet aluminum J-bar. Keeping all unspring suspension components as light as possible is critical to making the car's handling as responsive as possible, and the billet aluminum design accomplishes that while also being quite strong and capable of handling abuse.
Joe's Racing says it has customers that have found running lightweight gear oil in the hubs versus the more standard practice of packing it with grease can free up 6 to 8 horsepower. Joe's recommends between 4 to 7 ounces of 85- or 90-weight gear oil. The easily removable seals make it easy to inspect your hubs weekly to get the maximum performance. You can't see it in this photo, but each hub comes with an easy to reach fill hole. Just spin the hub until it is on top, pour in your gear oil and thread the plug back into place.Your chassis builder can provide you with measurements for setting up the rearend in the car.

How to Make a Perfect Bowl of Matcha
Most people think that making Matcha the traditional way is not easy. However, this is far from the truth if you know the simple secret and techniques of making Matcha. Preparing and whisking Matcha to make it frothy on the surface can be a fun and wonderful experience when serving Matcha to yourself and a visual treat when serving it to your guests.
Here is the basic way to prepare a bowl of Matcha. Be sure to view the video as well to further assist you in whisking the perfect froth for your Matcha green tea. You may need a couple tries in the beginning to make a nice creamy froth but once you get the hang of it, the satisfaction of attaining perfection will bring you joy as you relax to enjoy a nice healthy and wholesome bowl of Matcha made just by you.
- Before adding hot water to Matcha, it is recommended that Matcha is sifted using a tea strainer or a sifter to avoid clumps of Matcha from forming in the tea.
- Place about two bamboo tea scoops (1/2 to 1 tsp.) of Matcha powder in the bowl.
- Add 2 to 3 oz. of pre-boiling water to the bowl (~180F / ~80C). Boiling water may not be the most suitable for Matcha because it does not bring out the best flavor and the natural mild sweetness of the tea.
- Using the bamboo whisk: whisk briskly with the motion of making the letter "M" or "W." Simply an up and down motion will do as well. The whisking brings oxygen into the tea to create a nice frothy layer on the surface with many air bubbles. (Optional) To remove the air bubbles, simply lift the whisk slightly and lightly stroke the surface of the froth a few times until air bubbles have completely disappeared. Using soft water is best for Matcha green tea and any other Japanese green teas.
- Depending on personal preference, add more water to adjust for desired taste.
Remember to add more water only AFTER whisking.
Three Key Points
