The 5 Ballsiest Double-Crosses Ever Pulled Off
#2. Respected Professor Steals Israel's Secrets (and Their Women)
In the 1950s, Dr. Israel Beer was considered one of the foremost experts on military history in Israel, besides being a trusted adviser of the country's prime minister. His resume was impressive: Before immigrating to Palestine in the late '30s, Beer had graduated from the Austrian military and fought in the Spanish Civil War, where he was known by the alias "Colonel Jose Gregorio" -- a name somehow even cooler than "Dr. Beer." He was also a successful ladies' man, even at his advanced age.
OK, we take it back -- "Dr. Beer" is the greatest name ever.
In Israel, Beer served as a colonel in the War for Independence in 1948, and afterward was given access to the military's secret archives to write a history of the conflict. In the meantime, the middle-aged professor was boning his way through the Tel Aviv nightlife ... and like so many great men before him, his penis would be his undoing. It turns out that this hero of the Jewish people wasn't even circumcised.
The Double-Cross:
If only one of the women Beer slept with had mentioned that small fact to someone, the Israeli government could have avoided a huge headache, because Beer's crime was greater than letting the Lil Warrior keep his armor -- he was spying for the communists.
Turns out "being a big ol' lying liar" wasn't a crime. With justice, you take what you can get.
You see how this could be a problem: Not only did Beer have access to Israel's military secrets, but he was so trusted in the government that he managed to tear pages straight from the prime minister's diaries and give them to the commies -- (yes, even the one with the secret poem he wrote to Debby!). After he was discovered handing over a briefcase full of sensitive information to the KGB in 1961, the authorities realized that Beer's entire biography had been faked. He was not a decorated Austrian officer and he had never fought in Spain -- "Colonel Jose Gregorio," the name too smooth to be true, was in fact not. Heartbreaking, we know.
Incidentally, the only part that turned out to be real was his success with women. Several entries in Beer's diary were marked with multiple "X"s, which Israeli intelligence initially believed represented contacts with his Soviet handler. However, when he was pressed on the subject by his interrogators, it turned out that they just indicated the number of women he had banged that month.
#1. Shameless FBI Agent Profits from World Wars, Widow Murders and Baby Kidnappings
The 1920s were a time of gangsters, bootleggers and women voters, but not everyone was a flagrant ne'er-do-well: You also had the brave men of the (Federal) Bureau of Investigation, who helped keep the country safe from such atrocities. One of those men was Gaston Means, private detective extraordinaire.
It's like Alfred Hitchcock ate Andy Richter.
Means earned his position in the bureau by having served as a secret agent for three years in World War I while working for a detective agency. When his boss, William J. Burns, was named head of the FBI in 1921, he brought Means along with him to keep fighting the good fight. And what could go wrong? Surely there's no impending betrayal of some kind here ...
The Double-Cross:
Notice that we didn't mention which side of the war Means helped on. That's because he and his boss played both the Germans and the Allies for suckers. In 1914, Burns was approached by the British to investigate German activities in New York. When the Germans approached him for the opposite task, Burns let his pal Means take the job and the two began feeding each other information to keep their respective employers coughing up money. Means alone milked $100,000 a year out of the Germans until the U.S. entered the war in 1917, then he switched sides and started helping the British, too.
"Their entire war effort hinges on me not owning a yacht. But I know how you can thwart them!"
The future FBI chief was so fond of Means that he even helped keep him out of jail when he was accused of murdering the rich widow he'd been using as a personal piggy bank. Seems as though one day, while out rabbit hunting (does that ever end well?) alone with Means, the poor woman accidentally shot herself ... in the back of the head. And despite his clear resemblance to Elmer Fudd, there was no wisecracking rabbit present to thwart his plans. With Burns' help, Means was acquitted for the horrible crime he'd obviously committed.
Once he became a federal agent, Means began shaking down bootleggers for money. His luck seemed to run out when he was accused of corruption and arrested ... but even with a murder trial and a prison sentence on his record, Gaston was still able to pull a few good cons. First he co-wrote a best-selling book in which he claimed that his personal pal President Warren G. Harding (whom he had never met) had been poisoned by his wife. Then he scammed his co-writer out of the profits ...
Now, that is how you do a book cover!
... and finally, he figured out how to profit from the Lindbergh baby kidnapping when he convinced a wealthy friend of the family that he had been in touch with the kidnappers and would be able to get the baby back, for a modest fee. A few weeks and more than $100,000 in ransom money later, they finally figured out that Means was full of shit, and he was sent to prison again. They never found the money.
See, that's how you do federal corruption. None of this "petty embezzling" or "selling state secrets" crap -- if you're gonna be a bad guy, you might as well go whole hog and skip right to the "Dead Babies, Exploiting" section of your Evil Handbook.

Weeks ago when I went to see Silver Linings Playbook, (which originally may or may not have had something to do with Bradley Cooper), I was moved by the simple yet profound message that I took away from the film: we all need a strategy, which (give or take) leads to our silver lining.
Sounds simple, right? Come up with a plan---and your future becomes optimistic. Develop an action item for each area in your life---and you no longer are faced with unfortunate situations. So, with a successful strategy in place, your life should be full, content, and happy. Your silver lining is in tact.
Imagine sitting down with a pen and a sheet of paper to make out your life's plan. I can't tell you how many half written in journals I have lying around to do just this. I buy them in different sizes and colors, some lined…some unlined, some with inspirational quotes on the cover and some plain, some with perforated edges and some with messy ones. Point being, clearly the type of journal doesn't matter. What matters is me taking the time to figure…it…out (my strategy that is, so I can have my silver lining of course.)
We all try to carve out personal "thinking and planning" time but life just gets in the way (the dog gets sick, or the kids, or your laundry calls your name, or you get caught up paying the bills, or making dinner, or your eyes get heavy in bed, or...zzzzzz…)
The plan. For some it might be an entire life plan. Every part of your life: relationships, family, friends, profession, religion, social life, and on and on and on. People with these "plans" might be really good at having life figured out. What they might not be good at is when one of these areas falls a part. Can their ultimate silver lining still be had?
For others, the plan just focuses on one area. You might have one part of your life really well strategized…but all other areas go by the wayside. So is this to say your silver lining is really just making one area in your life hopeful? Can you have a partial-life-silver-lining? It's not a question for me to answer…it's just a question for me to ask.
I'm personally guilty of planning details out for occasions, and activities, and events, and everything else in between in my life; every…single…day. I make a plan of action at work, at home, with my children and their activities, and with simple every day happenings. The notebooks, and phone notes, and sticky notes are what contain my plan, my strategy. For me, it's a strategy of survival on a daily basis; it's a daily silver lining. When everything falls into place, well then that's a good day with a good outcome! When everything falls a part, well then, I suppose tomorrow's a new day.
I don't know what the answer is for your plan, for your happiness, but what I do know is this: you can't be a part of anyone else's plan OR optimistic future without having an ounce of an idea of where you want to be, how you want to get there, and what that (whatever it may be) looks like.
A Strategy. A Silver Lining. Or heck, if nothing else…a cool, new journal.

what about a theory where no time exists, only discrete space, steady states and occasion chains. what would speak against this?
closed as not a real question by Sklivvz♦, Georg, Deepak Vaid, Shog9♦ Apr 5 '11 at 16:06
It's difficult to tell what is being asked here. This question is ambiguous, vague, incomplete, overly broad, or rhetorical and cannot be reasonably answered in its current form. For help clarifying this question so that it can be reopened, visit the help center.If this question can be reworded to fit the rules in the help center, please edit the question.
I am not sure this is a completely nonsensical question, though it is phrased in an odd way. Julian Barbour is pretty much into the notion that time does not exist. This is based largely on the Wheeler DeWitt equation ${\cal H}\Psi[g]~=~0$, which is a quantum version of the Hamiltonian constraint in ADM relativity.
I could well enough imagine presenting how time exists, but space does not. We could presume there is some one dimensional space, a line or curve, and there is a fibration on that space by a three dimensional space. This internal space is a symmetry of the dynamics of this one dimensional parameterized space we label as time. This then connects to relativity when we consider the metric line element $$ ds^2~=~-c^2dt^2~+~g_{ij}dx^idx^j, $$ where mixed time-space metric components are not included. We have here two notions of time. The first is the proper time $\tau~=~s/c$, which is the invariant of relativity. The other time is a coordinate time $t$, which is not an invariant.
The obvious question to ask is whether $ds$ is real. We can multiply it by $mc^2$ and define an action according to the extremal principle of the proper interval $$ S~=~mc\int ds, $$ which appears real in some sense. It has units of action, or angular momentum, which is a measurable quantity. Yet there is something a bit troublesome about all of this. How does the observer on this world line actually measure this interval? A clock is employed which must have some system of oscillations, such as a spring. Yet this is measuring the invariant interval according to something carried on that world line that deviates from the world line. Hence some sort of nongeodesic motion is being used to define or measure an interval along a geodesic path. Of course I am thinking primarily of a mechanical clock, but an atomic one still appears to hold for an EM field must be applied to knock electrons in the Ce atoms.
This Lagrangian is measured according to something which is not invariant. So we might then consider that action as $dS~=~pdq~-~Hdt$. Now we have some Hamiltonian, which might include a part for the dynamics of the clock. Hamiltonians must be specified on some Cauchy surface of data with a coordinate time direction. Yet this has gotten us into some funny issue, for to define an invariant interval it appears that we need a coordinate defined clock.
So far we have some identification of $Hdt$, or the square of this, with the $c^2dt^2$ in the interval above. We then have that the bare action term $pdq$ is identified with $mc\sqrt{g_{ij}dx^idx^j}$. So we have a bare action given by our fibration, but we also have some constraint, where $H$ acts as a Lagrange multiplier. So we then have our one dimensional curve defined in a spacetime, where the space is the space of fibration and the Lagrange multiplier determines the symmetry of that fibration which is the Lorentz group.
Now to make things curious, we could imagine this picture as dual in some ways to the picture where time does not exist, but space does. The duality might then have a noncommutative coordinate geometric content in quantum gravity.
a physical theory is meant to describe observations. It may be an important pastime of an idle, crazy pseudo philosopher to ponder over imaginary speculations, but the job of physicists are much more prosaic and constrained. You have asked what would be against your "hypothetical theory". Nothing much, except that it is a good for nothing.

How should I phrase it:
This question has been asked at Stack Overflow.
This question has been asked on Stack Overflow.
How should I phrase it:
Prepositions are tricky. You can put something in a book or read something in a newspaper, but you always put something on the internet or find something on a certain website. Unfortunately, I don't think there is a general rule that can be applied here, but when it comes to the internet and websites, "on" is the most common preposition.
The only time you might see "at" used is when describing the full URL for a website:
I found this at http://www.stackoverflow.com/faq
"At" tends to be used with specific locations, i.e. when something is at the top of the page, or at the end of an article.
That sounds a lot better to me than "at SO" or "in SO".
I don't think "at StackOverflow" is wrong; that is, I don't think you must always say "on [some website name]". At can be used for fairly broad locations, such as "at home". However, I can think of one connotation of at that I don't think occurs with on, which is the distinction between related things with the same name.
That is, in the paper
This only makes sense for the website
This could be referring to the organization itself, e.g., the workplace, the company, etc. But if it's clear from the context that you are referring to the website, I don't think it's wrong to use "at website".

Rayes, Associate Director, Alaska Site: firstname.lastname@example.com
Founded in 1994 by Dr. Silvia Perez-Spiess in southwest Brooklyn, Lutheran Medical Center's Pediatrics Program is fully accredited by the ADA Commission on Dental Accreditation (CODA). In 2003 and 2005, the Department of Dental Medicine expanded its pediatric dental training sites to include Providence, RI and Anchorage, AK respectively. In 2008 a Hawaii location was added. Sites in Arizona and Massachusetts placed their first LMC Dental residents in 2010 followed by sites in Maryland and Maine in 2011. All have been approved by CODA as clinical training sites for the LMC Pediatric Dental Department. Since then, residency training sites have been expanded to Southern California, Washington State, and Missouri. This innovative program is a hybrid blend of a strong distance learning didactic curriculum with extensive clinical experiences. Distance-based didactic learning is achieved through web-based education modules, via the Sakai platform, and a state of the art Video Teleconference (VTC) System and video modules that connect residents and faculty. Those at the primary site at Lutheran Medical Center in Brooklyn, NY. connect with residents and faculty from Providence, RI; Anchorage, AK; the State of Hawaii; Tucson, Arizona, Holyoke, Massachusetts; Bangor, Maine; Princess Anne, Maryland; San Diego, California; Yakima, Washington State; and Springfield, Missouri. Lectures are provided from all sites. The program places a large emphasis on pediatric sedation, pediatric general anesthesia, and pediatric medicine. Graduates of the program are trained to be an integral part of the medical team and the hospital environment. Additional experiences are provided in hospital dentistry, sedation, interceptive orthodontics, special patient care, speech pathology, ethics and advocacy.The Department of Dental Medicine in New York is part of the outpatient departments of a federally qualified health center (FQHC) within a hospital recognized as a level 1 trauma center in the Sunset Park area of Brooklyn, NY; Affiliated sites include: St. Joseph Health Services of Rhode Island Department of Dentistry in Providence, RI; the Alaska Native Medical Center/Hospital in Anchorage, AK; the Waianae Coast Comprehensive Care Health Center, on the island of Oahu, the Kokua Kalihi Valley Comprehensive Family Services on the island of Oahu; the West Hawaii Community Health Center in Kona on the Big Island of Hawaii and the Community Clinic of Maui (Malama I Ke Ola) on the island of Maui; El Rio Community Health Center in Tucson, Arizona; Tucson Area Indian Health Services in Sells and San Xavier, Arizona; the Maricopa Integrated Health Services in Phoenix, Arizona; the Three Lower Counties Community Services in Princess Anne, Maryland; the Penobscot Community Health Center in Bangor, Maine; the Holyoke Health Center in Holyoke, Massachusetts; the Rady Children's Hospital San Diego and San Ysidro Health Center in San Ysidro, California; the Yakima Valley Farm Workers Clinic in Yakima, Washington and the Jordan Valley Community Health Center in Springfield, Missouri. The dental clinics are mainly within FQHCs and the majority of the medical rotations are conducted in affiliated hospitals and medical facilities.This is a hospital- and health center-based training program. Upon successful completion of all requirements, the resident is awarded a Certificate in Pediatric Dentistry and meets the advanced education eligibility requirements of the American Board of Pediatric Dentistry.
This specialty program revolves around both well children and those who are medically compromised, developmentally disabled, or victims of trauma. The curriculum emphasizes pediatric medicine and dentistry, the behavioral and pharmacological management of children, oral biology for the pediatric dentist, and general anesthesia. Graduates are well prepared to be contributing members of the health care team in a hospital environment or community setting. First-year residents study most of the core curriculum, completing the majority of the didactic curriculum during the first year of residency training. In addition, the program offers course work in oral biology, genetics, and craniofacial biology, including the opportunity at most sites to attend monthly craniofacial conferences.First-year residents are assigned multiple rotations, including pediatric medicine for the well-child care, general anesthesia, emergency medicine, phlebotomy and on-call services. During the second year, the focus of the curriculum is on the sick child. Second-year residents are assigned with pediatric specialists to work in areas such as endocrinology, neurology, pulmonology, nephrology, hematology/oncology and cardiology. Residents rotate through nearby community health centers and Head Start programs to extend direct patient care to underserved children in the community. Brooklyn-based residents rotate to New York University College of Dentistry to teach undergraduate dental students. Second-year residents at the Rhode Island and Massachusetts sites teach undergraduate dental students at Tufts University in Boston. During the first year, a distance learning curriculum of structured lectures and learning activities occur via live video teleconference (VTC) and asynchronous web-based modules (Sakai). There are multidisciplinary seminars with participation by general dentistry, endodontics and dental anesthesia residents, as well as specialty-focused seminars. Biomedical courses include: oral biology, pediatric anesthesia, physical diagnosis, medical emergency management, behavioral management, pediatric dentistry series, orthodontics, craniofacial development and research methods and materials. Clinical rotations to enhance the didactic curriculum include: pediatric medicine, anesthesia, emergency medicine, craniofacial, operating room, sedation and orthodontics. In the second year, the residents rotate through the medical subspecialties, including but not limited to hematology, neurology, endocrinology, cardiology and immune-compromised specialized care. As a merit-based program enhancement, second-year residents also have the opportunity to spend a month at one of the other training sites. Residents complete a clinical research project, which is presented at the AAPD Annual Session and the Lutheran Medical Center Research Fair, leading to a publishable paper.The research symposia throughout the first and second year guide the residents through their research. In addition, the residents have a teaching rotation. During the last few months of the training, the residents visit a number of private pediatric dental offices to gain experience in practice management and practice administration. Pediatric dental residents present cases and discuss treatment plans and options via live video teleconference to all LMC Pediatric Dental training sites' residents stationed in 11 extramural practice/training sites. These include sites in, New York City, Arizona, California, Hawaii, Massachusetts, Maine, Maryland, Alaska and Rhode Island.
First-year stipend is $59,332 (2013) plus fringe benefits. Second-year stipend is $63,521 (2013) plus fringe benefits. There is an additional stipend of $2,000 per year for the chief residents at each site. Fringe benefits include medical and dental insurance, prescription plan, $150.00 for books for PGYI, $1,000.00 for PGYII for course registration, and nine holidays, four weeks paid vacation, four educational days , twelve paid sick days (accrued at 1 day per month) per year.

Certified Carbonfree® Eco Alkalines™ Batteries Launch with Best Buy Canada
Eco Alkalines™ Batteries are pleased to announce their upcoming product launch with Best Buy Canada, the nation's fastest growing retailer of consumer electronics. Best Buy Canada, a specialty retailer and e-tailer of consumer electronics, personal computers and entertainment, shares Eco Alkalines™ vision for creating and supplying sustainable businesses and communities.
Best Buy is strongly committed to doing it share in protecting the planet and conserving the earth's resources. As an electronics retailer company, Best Buy feels a responsibility to prevent old and unwanted electronics from making their way to Canadian landfills. In the spring of 2013, select Best Buys stores across Canada teamed up and collected more than 37,000 pounds of e-waste of local residents. Additionally, every Best Buy location in Canada offers in-store recycling where customers can recycle everything from batteries and cell phones to printers and TVs. Best Buy is also committed to offering a wide range of sustainable products such as Eco Alkalines™ batteries.
Like Best Buy Canada, Eco Alkalines™ batteries are a Canadian company committed to environmental sustainability and green innovation. Eco-Alkalines™ batteries are environmentally friendly and landfill safe. They are manufactured with earth friendly derivatives and contain 0% trace amounts of harmful metals such as Mercury, Cadmium and Lead. They have been certified as Carbonfree® by Carbonfund.org Foundation and NSF Sustainability and can be used to count towards prerequisites and credits in LEED certified building projects and building operation.
"Certification sets us apart from our competitors," says Lalonde. "We are currently the world's only disposable alkaline battery with this certification. We have found that certification has helped to increase our market share and create customer and brand loyalty among consumers who are seeking to purchase and use eco-friendly products."
Carbonfree® certification also lends credibility to Eco Alkalines™, a relatively newer brand, in a marketplace of well-known battery products. "Although many products claim to be 'green' or 'eco-friendly,' these terms are often used loosely or without a clear description of what that means. We wanted third-party verification from two trusted and recognizable organizations – Carbonfund.org and NSF International – so that consumers would understand and have faith in our green claims," added Lalonde.
In addition to their innovative and unique green credentials and applications, Eco Alkalines™ batteries have excelled in performance and longevity tests, consistently demonstrating that Eco Alkalines™ perform equal to or better than the leading national brands. Eco Alkalines™ have a guaranteed 5-year shelf life and a unique patented leak resistant seal ensuring that they will not leak into your devices.
Despite their pioneering eco accolades and novel technology, Eco Alkalines™ batteries are competitively priced compared to the leading national brands. As eco-friendly technology evolves to a 'must' rather than a choice, Eco Alkalines™ batteries offer consumers and companies a green product at market prices. Carbonfund.org is proud to partner with Eco Alkalines™ batteries and applauds this expansion of market availability through Best Buy Canada for the Certified Carbonfree® batteries.

We have a web application (developed by a third party) that runs on Tomcat. We have been getting very bad performance from the application. The application developer is claiming that it is an Industry Best Practice to restart web servers every night, to free up all memory usage and start over.
From the customer perspective that alleviates their issue of the site crashing during the day, but from a SysAdmin perspective it is an awful solution.
We host 20 of these applications in different servers for different clients, and the coordination of making sure that all are being restarted every night just seems wrong.

I'm using vim for editing bash scripts currently, but i really need to set it up and/or install plugins. Plugin suggestions welcome. Either way i'd like to see which editors/IDEs are there for this job.
gedit can be a great editor when extended with gedit-plugins
I love Geany
It's a quick GUI editor that can manage small projects if necessary (it can remember list of files and a few other neat things). It supports many syntax highlighting including Shell scripting.
It supports plug-ins, and I have used the VC (version control) plug-in once, but the basic features of Geany are enough for most of the work I do with it.
I found this: http://www.vim.org/scripts/script.php?script_id=365
It is really good for bash scripting.
Emacs is rather good, there's been a built-in shell scripting mode for some time.
Another cool editor, though the UI looks a bit old now, is Nedit.
It is more powerful than Geany as it can support
It's really light-weight, fast to launch. However, the user experience might not please everyone.
I have been using it for a long period to develop shell and C/C++ code. Though I use more now Geany and Eclipse CDT for these purposes.
I use both BBEdit (Mac text editor) and vi(m).
BBEdit has a command line counterpart which works great for integrating with the underside of the Mac and other CLI tools.
vi(m) is on essentially every *nix system out there.
Knowing vi(m) is beneficial due to its availability.
Hope that helps with your search!

More than 4,000 people, many of them police officers, gathered Wednesday to mourn a Riverside, Calif., officer killed last week in a shooting rampage by a former Los Angeles police officer.
Michael Crain was described as a model officer -- a man with a high-and-tight haircut and a Marine's bearing, who also had a father's heart, coaching his young son's baseball team and dancing at ballet classes with his 4-year-old daughter.
Crain, 34, was killed by gunshots in his squad car on Feb. 7 while working overnight patrol. Another officer was wounded in the ambush.
Thousands of blue-uniformed police officers joined family and friends in an overflow crowd outside Riverside's Grove Community Church.
Story:(AT) Report: Dorner's wallet found in burned-out cabin
At the conclusion, Crain's son Ian, 10, joined a group of officers carrying his father's casket out of the church for burial at Riverside National Cemetery. They exited the church to the sound of Scottish bagpipes.
"When you meet someone who's just happy and loves life, who do you think of? That's Mike," pastor Tom Lance said.
Crain's widow, Regina, tearfully recalled happy simple times with her husband, such as the big breakfasts he loved. Other family members and friends recalled Crain as a dedicated officer and family man who loved working on his 1970 Chevy Nova, riding his motorcycle and boating with his family.
He was remembered as an enthusiastic police officer and dedicated servicemember. He served on the police force for 11 years and was a former Marine sergeant deployed to Iraq and Kuwait.
Story:(AT) Cornered killer posed unique threat
"Mike wanted to have every job in the police department," Lance said.
Police Chief Sergio Diaz addressed Crain's children, telling them he was an officer who commanded respect: "Your dad was a tough guy. And because he was a tough guy, he knew he could be kind and gentle."
The funeral and cemetery procession, accompanied by hundreds of police officers on motorcycles and in squad cars, was broadcast live on Los Angeles TV stations.
Crain's funeral was held just a day after Christopher Dorner was believed to have died in a burning cabin in the San Bernardino Mountains, shortly after a San Bernardino County sheriff's deputy was killed and another wounded in a shootout Tuesday.
More funerals stemming from the shooting spree are scheduled. Also killed were an engaged couple, Monica Quan, 28, and Keith Lawrence, 27, who were shot to death outside their Irvine condominium Feb. 3 just hours after watching the Super Bowl.
Police have said they believe Quan and Lawrence were targeted as a revenge killing aimed at Quan's father, Randal Quan, a former Los Angeles police captain-turned-lawyer who represented Dorner in a police personnel proceeding. The proceeding led to Dorner's 2009 firing.

Hi David,
I have a cabover that I'm selling. If you want, you can contact me at 520.250.7055 and we can talk about the details.
Best regards,
I've been on a quest for a good many years now, as you regular Road King readers are aware. For those who aren't, my pursuit has been to find an affordable, reasonable-looking, used cabover tractor. It will be my project truck.
The intent is simple. I do what needs doing to get this cabover into a condition where I could put it to work. Should I not be able to find a carrier to lease to, I'll have one heck of an only-drive-it-on-nice-weather-days vehicle.
From the start, I made some specific decisions about what cabovers I would consider. I wanted one that was operable. It could not be a product of neglect, sitting unused for a long time or missing a ton of parts. These, I figured, would be cost and time prohibitive. Besides, having a "hulk" parked outside the house wouldn't endear me to my wife. With a running truck, I could drive it while I worked on it. And that would be more fun.
Dialing for cabovers
I began my hunt in earnest. After all, I know a gazillion people, many with the truck OEMs and their dealers. So I'd ask every truck person I came in contact with to be on the lookout for a used cabover for me. Having been a founder and longtime member of the Used Truck Association, I also contacted board, regular and associate members and asked them if they had or knew of a good used cabover.
One of my calls struck pay dirt.
A used truck manager friend at a truck dealership in the South said he had something for me. Saying I was elated doesn't do justice to how I felt. My friend described the truck as a calendar cabover. "It's such a good-looking cabover — inside and out — it needs to be on a calendar," he said.
My exuberance grew considerably when he told me the asking price. I grabbed my checkbook and bought a one-way ticket. Arriving at the dealership, I found my friend. This was it. I was about to be the owner of a beautiful cabover that needed little work, and would be mine. All mine. We exchanged pleasantries, and with each word I was anxious to move on and see my new truck. And then …
"I have some bad news," my friend finally said.
My mood rapidly crashed. I had a good idea of what he was going to tell me.
"I'm sorry to tell you that the truck has been sold."
"WHAT?" I exclaimed, rather loudly. Who stole my truck?
"We just couldn't refuse the generous offer that guy made on that cabover. My sincere apologies."
I was devastated. Back home I went, putting the situation behind me. I continued my cabover quest, sadder and wiser.
What eventually dawned on me was that my mission to acquire a cabover was bumping up against one of the most fundamental concepts of economics: supply and demand. With the onset of less restrictive federal tractor-trailer length laws in 1976, cabovers lost their popularity in favor of conventional tractor configurations that provided more comfort, less engine noise and easier entry and egress. Who needs all that?
There just aren't many cabovers around these days. When a product desired by buyers is available in very limited quantities, the price goes up. But as my dear father used to tell me: "Patience, persistence and perspiration make an unbeatable combination for success."
I kept making calls, but I also began scrutinizing trucks-for-sale publications, doing online searches and exploring eBay.
One of my challenges has been to find a suitable cabover that is fairly close to where I reside. It's very difficult, time-consuming and costly to travel across the country to visit potential project cabovers only to be disappointed, and I'm too afraid to buy a vehicle sight unseen. I've come to find out you can't depend on friends to help with a cabover hunt. In a few areas of the country where I've found potential buys, I have friends who know trucks. I've called them and asked if they mind visiting the truck for me and checking it out. No friend denied my request. However, once I had the OK for their visit and phoned the friends back, they were always "too busy."
For the most part, I've found that truck sellers are good about providing details and photos, and noting "flaws" with vehicles, such as a fuel tank leak, a broken cab jack and tires that need replacing. They've also been nice about sending along additional photos and discussing their truck over the phone or by email. Some even have provided videos of their trucks, showing the exterior and interior, and "listening" to the engine running.
A few have not been quite so forthcoming. Like many an online dater, I've been intrigued by a posted photo, only to discover that it is not of recent vintage. The beauty I'm considering picking up has seen a few more years and hard knocks since that picture reflected reality.
I recently got out to take a close-up look at a 1977 Peterbilt 352 with a 13-speed transmission and a 350-hp Cummins diesel. The truck had about a million miles on it. Among the issues I found which were not reported in the for-sale notice: transmission shifter air leak, missing speedometer cable, cracked two-piece windshield, door leaks, power steering leak, worn steering tires, huge chunks of tread missing on two inside dual tires and body work required.
Used cabover buyers and sellers view the truck's value very differently. The absolute, no-negotiation, firm price for this perforated Pete was $9,000. Really?
Another lesson learned: On eBay, the bidding typically is slow until right before the deadline. That's when the "feeding frenzy" occurs and the bidding accelerates rapidly. It's easy to get caught up in the excitement. So I passed on a 1953 Kenworth Bullnose with a 262-hp turbo Cummins diesel (no mileage listed), a 5+4 speed transmission and a button tuck interior in great condition. The starting bid price was $20,000 — way out of my league. What did it sell for? I was afraid to find out.
I kept looking for the right deal. And much to my astonishment, I recently "won" an online auction for a 1991 Kenworth K100E with 11.1-liter Series 60 Detroit Diesel. With nearly 1.4 million miles on it, it was in pretty good condition, all things considered. The person selling the truck, located in Florida, contacted me and said the auction ended without the reserve on the tractor being met but he'd accept my offer. Finally, I thought, a dream fulfilled.
I told the seller I'd have my brother, who happens to live in the Sunshine State, come by and do the deal. I just can't bring myself to buy a vehicle sight unseen, and I couldn't get to Florida in short order. But before my brother could get by (about a week), the seller re-listed his K100E on a different online auction. This time he sold the truck. At least the seller let me know.
Among the inspirational quotes I have on my office wall is one from renowned football coach Vince Lombardi. It reads: "It's not whether you get knocked down. It's whether you get up again."
The will to persevere is often the difference between failure and success. I've got plenty of keep-at-it. If I had a penny for every business card I've handed out strictly for finding a used cabover, I'd be able to purchase a spiffed out, late model cabover.
So, I've no doubt that it's merely a matter of time before I end my project truck quest successfully.
Of course, I thought that when I first started looking. In 2002.
Hi David,
I have a cabover that I'm selling. If you want, you can contact me at 520.250.7055 and we can talk about the details.
Best regards,
I saw a 1970's Kenworth Aerodyne like the one used by BJ & The Bear TV Show. It was sitting in Grand Junction, CO next door to the site where there was a Richie Bros. Auction about a month ago. I owned one of these and it was a great truck. You should consider yourself lucky if you could have one of these in decent condition. Grand Junction is not that big, you should be able to track it down. Next time I go through there I can check on it for you.
Call me if you are interested:
Jon B. Quick
Check out truckpaper.com I saw 2 K100's 1 a single bunk and 1 a double bunk. If I had the money I'd be buying the double.
If you haven't found what you are looking for yet, then let me bend your brain. About 3 month's back my boss asked if I knew someone that might be interested in buying his old Kenworth cabover I told him no, but I would keep my ears open for a potential interest. The price that he gave me is a definite steal against the two prices you listed in your story. I know that its a one owner truck, when the truck was parked it was operational. They retired the cabover for conventional trucks back in the early 90's, It seems to me that he said it was a 1986 model. I can probly say that the truck was well kept on maintenance while it was used, I know today this company is don't welch on maintaining there equipment. Truthfully, if I were not already involved in a boat restoration project, I would have bought it. I right now have nowhere to store it. I'm not going to give out the price that he told me, but if you call him and he say's 5 or 6 grand negotiate with him. see what he'll settle for. The ph.# is 800-327-2833. The company name is Yowell International Inc. and ask for Steven Yowell. If you want, tell him Frank referred you. The only thing I'll be making off of it is the satisfaction that someone is attempting to put new life in that old monster! Good Luck!
Been seeing a red and white cabover for sale at Williams Moving Co. in Missouri off US 60 close to Dexter. Looks in good shape and doesnt look like irs been sitting long. Good luck hope that helps.
Not sure how old you would like to get, but I may be selling my 1994 International 9670 cabover. To give you an idea of the shape it's in, it has 10 years ontime p/u and del. service, 1 with UPS and 9 with FedEx. Uh Huh Uh Huh !!!

WACO (December 19, 2012)—The capital murder trial of the second defendant in a shooting outside a Waco apartment complex that left two dead and two injured will be moved to Georgetown.
State District Judge Ralph Strother has granted a motion for a change of venue filed by attorneys representing Albert Leslie Love, Jr., who's charged with capital murder in the March 2011 deaths of Keenan Hubert, 20, and Tyus Sneed, 17, both of whom died in a hail of bullets as they sat inside a car parked at Lakewood Villas apartment complex.
On Nov. 7, Rickey Donnell Cummings, 23, of Waco, was sentenced to death for his role in the murders.
Marion Bible, then 22, and Deontrae Majors, then 20, were wounded in the shooting, which prosecutors say was in retaliation for the April 2010 murder of Emuel Bowers III, 21, who was shot as he sat in his car at the intersection of Rose and McKeen Streets.
Love, Tyrece Edward Richards, Darvis Tyrell Cumings, and Kennedy Wayne Hardway, who's also known as Kevin Wayne Hardaway, were indicted in the shooting, but prosecutors later dismissed the capital murder charge against Richards.
Ricky and Darvis Cummings and Tyrece Richards are brothers. Kennedy Hardway is their cousin, authorities said, and the four are closely associated with Love.

Retaliation Claims Increase
Recent trends reveal that employment retaliation claims are on the rise. Further, courts are taking a hard line on offending employers accused of retaliation in employment. A review of United States Supreme Court decisions in retaliation cases reveals a remarkable degree of agreement among the Justices. Even conservative Justices who are considered supportive of business as a matter of judicial philosophy do not take kindly to retaliation against employees who have asserted workplace legal claims.
Nuclear Fallout
But not in Japan. Arnold Schwarzenegger and Dominique Strauss-Kahn are making headlines they probably wish they had never made. While I'm not a man and can, therefore, only surmise that the root of the problem somehow goes back to The Man Gene, as John Phillips so eloquently calls it, their current woes bring to the forefront issues that some employers – or at least their supervisors – sometimes face but don't often think about, i.e., what happens when a supervisor either engages in or is accused of sexual harassment. When we are faced with such situations, our focus is usually on the company's potential liability and what we can do to either prevent or limit such liability. Of course, the best case scenario is to not have such accusations in the first place. And, one of the best preventative measures employers can implement is training. Oddly enough, supervisors tend to think twice about their actions when they are reminded of the consequences, which include not only potential civil liability under some state anti-discrimination statutes and other common law theories, but also the nuclear fallout that often occurs. I'm talking about the hurt caused to their families (even if the accusations prove to be wrong), their reputations, and their jobs (assuming they still have one). Schwarzenegger's indiscretions may cost him at least two of these things and may now lead to an investigation into whether he used campaign money to pay for women. Strauss-Kahn is on suicide watch, appears to have been dismissed from his high-power position, and may be watching his political career explode. While most of our supervisors may not be in as high-profile positions as these two men, the resulting fallout can be just as devastating. Maybe it's a good time to remind them. - Karen Smith
There's An App for That
And it's exhibit one to the wage and hour lawsuit that has just been filed against your company. The Department of Labor (DOL) has announced the release of its first smartphone app – a timesheet that allows employees to keep track of their work hours and calculate how much they are owed each workweek. With this app, English and Spanish speaking employees can track regular work hours, break times, and overtime hours not only for themselves but for others. The app is currently compatible with the iPhone, iPod Touch, and iPad, but the DOL is exploring updates that could enable similar versions for other smartphone platforms and that would enable other pay features, such as the inclusion of tips, commissions, bonuses, deductions, holiday pay, pay for weekends, shift differentials, and pay for regular days of rest. For those employees who do not have a compatible smartphone, the DOL has a printable work hours calendar available for use that not only provides employees with a means on which to independently record their work hours but also a primer on what their employers may be doing wrong. Of course, the DOL's number is included at the bottom.
HR Manager Sentenced for Immigration Offenses
On March 3, in a Southern Mississippi federal court an HR manager was sentenced to six months home detention in a criminal proceeding that involved violation of federal immigration laws in the employment of undocumented workers. Jose Gonzalez had pled guilty in December 2009 to hiring hundreds of illegal aliens while serving as human resources manager for Howard Industries in Laurel, Mississippi. Although facing up to five years in prison, federal judge Keith Starrett decided home detention was a more appropriate penalty than imprisonment for Gonzalez. He was also fined $4000 for his actions. Howard Industries had already paid a $2.5 million fine for its role in these immigration employment offenses.
The Supremes Speak on Cat's Paw liability
The U.S. Supreme Court has weighed in on an awaited decision in a case involving a "cat's paw" theory of liability. In Staub v. Procter Hospital (http://case.lawmemo.com/us/staub.pdf) the Court held that "if a supervisor performs an act motivated by antimilitary animus that is intended by the supervisor to cause an adverse employment action, and if that act is a proximate cause of the ultimate employment action, then the employer is liable under USERRA."
Cronyism by Any Other Word
The Sixth Circuit Federal Court of Appeals sitting in Cincinnati, yesterday upheld the conviction of two UAW union representatives accused of extortion in an extended strike at the General Motors assembly plant in Pontiac, Michigan. The court stated, "In the midst of the world's current financial struggles, when the unemployment rate in this country fluctuates between 9 and 10 percent, it is somewhat laughable to argue that Douglas and Campbell did not demand a 'thing of value' when they demanded high-paying jobs for their cronies." The two had insisted that GM hire two unqualified employees as a condition of ending a 87 day strike at the auto plant that had cost the company millions of dollars.
HR Song of the Week- Everybody Hurts?
OSHA announced yesterday (http://www.osha.gov/pls/oshaweb/owadisp.show_document?p_table=NEWS_RELEASES&p_id=19158) that it has temporarily withdrawn from review by the OMB its proposal to restore a column for work-related musculoskeletal disorders on employer injury and illness logs citing the need "to seek greater input from small businesses."
Supreme Court Alert – Who Says Scalia is Anti-Plaintiff?
In February 2003, North American Stainless (NAS) received notice that Miriam Regalado had filed an EEOC charge against it. Three weeks later, NAS fired Ms. Regalado's fiancée, Eric Thompson. Mr. Thompson thereafter brought a Title VII retaliation claim against NAS in federal court in Kentucky. The trial court granted summary judgment in favor of NAS on the theory that Title VII did not allow "third party retaliation claims." That decision was ultimately affirmed by the Sixth Circuit Court of Appeals. Earlier today, however, the U.S. Supreme Court reversed the Sixth Circuit and held 8-0 (the majority opinion was drafted by Scalia, with Kagan not participating) that Mr. Thompson's suit could proceed even though it was not he who had engaged in protected activity under Title VII. A link to the decision is below. Bottom line — In 2006, the Supreme Court adopted a pretty broad standard for what types of employment actions could be retaliatory under Title VII. The Court has now used some of the rationale from that decision to essentially prohibit "associational retaliation." (more…)

Tree Body
About the Committee
The duties of the Tree Body are to promote the preservation and reforestation program of the Village and to encourage greater public awareness and participation in this program. Meetings are held as needed at 7:15 p.m. at the Kaptur Administration Center. All are welcome.
The Village of Palos Park is GREEN!
Palos Park offers a program to plant trees right here in our community. We are joining with Spring Grove Nursery and ITrees.com to offer a convenient way to beautify our local landscape.
Normally, the White-tailed deer go through the mating season, also known as the "rut", during late October through November. However around this time of year, all the natural food available to the deer in the surrounding forests, such as grasses, berries and acorns, are mostly gone. Deer will venture closer to the roads licking road salt that has been spread on the street by the Village, County and State to supplement their natural food requirements. Be careful and aware when driving, especially during the evening and early morning hours when deer tend to be more active.
Neighborhoods with well-shaded streets can be up to 6-10 degrees cooler than neighborhoods without street trees.
Deciduous trees, planted on the south and west side of your home, will keep your house cooler in the summer and let the sun warm your home in the winter, reducing energy use.
Just three trees, properly placed around a house, can save up to 30% of energy use.
Trees or shrubs planted to shade air conditioners help cool a building more efficiently, using less electricity. A unit operating in shade uses as much as 10% less electricity than the same one operating in sun.
Trees release oxygen and remove carbon dioxide from the atmosphere, helping reduce the effects of global warming.
A mature tree intercepts about 1,000 gallons of water a year, decreasing the severity of downpours, and helps control flooding and soil erosion.

Breath test
The hydrogen breath test is the most convenient and reliable test for lactase deficiency and lactose intolerance. For the breath test, pure lactose, usually 25 grams (the equivalent of 16 oz of milk), is ingested with water after an overnight fast. In persons who are lactose intolerant, the lactose that is not digested and absorbed in the small intestine reaches the colon where the bacteria split the lactose into glucose and galactose and produce hydrogen (and/or methane) gas. Small amounts of the hydrogen and methane are absorbed from the colon into the blood and then travel to the lungs where they are excreted in the breath. Samples of breath are collected every 10 or 15 minutes for 3-5 hours after ingestion of the lactose, and the samples are analyzed for hydrogen and/or methane. If hydrogen and/or methane are found in the breath, it means that the small intestine of the person was unable to digest and absorb all of the lactose. He or she is lactase deficient. The amount of hydrogen or methane excreted in the breath is roughly proportional to the degree of lactase deficiency, that is, the larger the amount of hydrogen and/or methane produced, the greater the deficiency. The amount of hydrogen and/or methane in the breath, however, is not proportional to the severity of the symptoms. In other words, a person who produces little hydrogen and/or methane may have more severe symptoms than a person who produces a large amount hydrogen and/or methane.
The breath test is the best test for determining lactase deficiency and lactose intolerance, but it has several weaknesses. The first is that it is a long, boring test. The second is that it suffers from the same issue as the milk challenge test with respect to the quantity of lactose that should be used. (See previous discussion.) Lastly, the breath test can be falsely abnormal when there is spread of bacteria from the colon into the small intestine, a condition called bacterial overgrowth of the small bowel. When overgrowth occurs, the bacteria that have moved up into the small intestine get to the lactose in the intestine before there has been enough time for the lactose to be digested and absorbed normally, and these bacteria produce hydrogen and/or methane. This may lead erroneously to a diagnosis of lactose intolerance. Other conditions also interfere with the breath test. Thus, diseases that markedly speed up transit of lactose through the small intestine prevent lactose from being fully digested and absorbed, leading to a misdiagnosis of lactose intolerance. Recent treatment with antibiotics can suppress colonic bacteria and their production of hydrogen or methane and lead to a misdiagnosis of lactose tolerance. Fortunately, these latter conditions are uncommon and usually can be anticipated on the basis of a person's history or symptoms.

Are zero and null perfect synonyms?
Sign up

'null' is qualitative, representing the absence of quantity. Closer to the word 'void' than the number 'zero'. Example: he reduced it to nil.
'zero' is quantitative. Example: he got zero on his exam.
No, they are not the same.
In an everyday language context, 'null' can mean that something is meaningless, as in:
In a programming/data context (though I still think this is a language question, rather than a programming question), 'null' can mean the absence of information. If you are wondering how many apples there are, 'null' means 'I don't know'. 'Zero' means that you know that there aren't any apples.
Zero always refers to a quantity.
In programming some languages make null the same as zero (C++) but some don't (Java).
In databases a record might have a null value in one field or it might have a zero and these are not the same.
Zero is can be used to indicate a counted quantity whereas null cannot.
Is there a difference between a cheque(check) with $0.00 and a NULL(VOID) check?
The difference may be subtle, but there is a difference.
0 represents an integer in the set of all integers (called the set Z in mathematics) NULL is not an integer, and it could represent the absence of things that aren't even numbers.
A NULL and VOID Check for example.
A NULL Marriage.
A NULL Agreement
It's not just null and zero too. What about "nothing","naugt","none" etc.
Zero is usually a noun. Zero is a number. Zero can refer to the symbol "0".
Null is usually an adjective (Null set, Null argument, Null pointer, *a nullity). Null is a not a number, usually has a different symbol each time.
Programmers are forced to make these distinctions all the time (although, 'null' is often modelled as the number 0). Although it is important in programming, the distinction is more to do with logic and mathematics.
They do have quite different roles in language although I guess in a few cases they are the same.
The words have very different meanings.
In math, I can do an equation, such as subtract two numbers, and get zero. If I don't answer the question, it could be considered null. If the question were an elementary test, zero could be the correct answer, worth points, whereas not answering the question does not result in a correct answer.
So, one can indicate that a computation has been done, the other that it has not been done.
"Zero" is a number, an integer between -1 and 1. It is a physical quantity representing no countable number of an object.
"Null" is a concept of irrelevance or undefined state. For example, an agreement might become "null and void" when it is no longer applicable or enforceable, or a computer data structure pointer with no instantiation associated with it might be considered "null".
The confusion comes in the representation of a computer NULL in execution. Typically, the NULL is represented as a 0 in the memory or code. But that is just a convention. It's like saying "I am Spoxjox". Well, no, I am not Spoxjox. I am represented by the "name" or "tag" or "handle" of "Spoxjox", but I am a human being, not a sequence of letters on a discussion board. Similarly, the concept of NULL might be represented by a zero (0), but it is not the same as the number zero.
No. Zero is a number. Zero is also a place where a mathematical function achieves an output value of zero. Null has a wide variety of uses. Here are a few:
null set - a set devoid of elements
null contract - unenforceable contract
The Java computer language uses null as a "graveyard" object that holds no value
"Nula" is the word for "0" in Hungarian and other European languages.
"Null" means "void of legal force" ... that's essentially "invalid". It's an adjective, as has been mentioned.
I'm not a programmer, so maybe that's why I don't equate the two at all.
Compare "Are you Rachel?" with "Are you tired?"

KILLEEN (January 2, 2013) ---Randell Stagg II, 21, was held Wednesday in the Bell County Jail charged with four counts of burglary of a vehicle, theft of a firearm, and credit/debit card abuse in connection with a string of vehicle break-ins in Killeen.
His bonds totals $65,000.
Jail records indicate Stagg was booked into jail on Tuesday.
Four different arrest affidavits for Stagg stemming from incidents that occurred between Nov. 7 and Nov. 19 show that Killeen Police officers responded to a series of burglary of motor vehicle calls in a neighborhood in Southwest Killeen.
Some of the break-ins happened on Margarita Drive, Orchid Drive, Baumann Drive, and Leader Drive in Killeen, all of which are in the same area.
The victims reported the theft of such items as multiple GPS systems, hunting knives, a debit/credit card, a handgun, a radar detector, a range finder, and several electronics.
The affidavits say Stagg sold some of the stolen items at three different pawnshops in Killeen.
Investigators were able to access some of the addresses in the GPS systems that had been sold to the pawnshops to locate addresses designated as "HOME," to locate some of the break-in victims.
Officers showed pictures of the items at the pawnshops to the victims to confirm ownership.
One affidavit says that on the same day one of the victims reported that her car had been broken into Stagg used her debit/credit card at a smoke shop on North W.S. Young.

With the British Embassy issuing a warning of a high probability of bombs in Udon Thani amongst six other provinces I thought it might be helpful if we had a seperate topic to discuss what members may think could be likely targets. Better safe than sorry .Whilst generally the farang population are pretty widely dispersed, so other than the two bar areas,D&N and Nutty Park spring to mind, there doesn't seem to be an area of concentration which would attract the terrorists interest, so we must presume they will hit a high profile target that would give them the media coverage they desperately seek . The airport, bus or train station are likely , but with the impending visit of the prime minister and members of her cabinet, plus the frequent number of royal visitors we have, every where they go must be considered as danger areas. Of the static sites the new complex seems obvious. Perhaps others may think of more . Whatever, where ever, remember the golden rule. Do not leave your bags unattended, be watchful, not complacent. report anything suspicious. We have to take care of ourselves and loved ones. Don't re lie on the Thai authorities with their mai pen rai attitude to protect us .
Stay safe .

5 Psychotic Marketing Stunts That Traumatized Their Audience
We have TiVos, ad blockers, and the highly refined ability to simply not give a shit, so advertisers really have to get creative if they want to get our attention these days. And what gets your attention more than threatening, scaring, and emotionally traumatizing you for life?
Well, they say no press is bad press. See, after listening to you sobbing and ranting about the ghost in the mirror, the man with the rifle, or the police hunting you through a crowded airport, your psychiatrist will inevitably ask you what product caused all this pain, and then boom: mission accomplished.
#5. Capital 8 Theaters Hires an Armed Assailant to Threaten Ticket Holders
Boston Globe / Getty
The Goodrich Capital 8 Theater in Jefferson City, Missouri, decided to celebrate the opening of Iron Man 3 the best way they knew how: by threatening to murder their patrons.
AFP / Stringer / Getty
The party's over, unsilenced cellphones.
It went down like this: The theater owners decided to put on a little show before the main event, so they hired a gaggle of actors (actors come in gaggles, right?) to play the titular man of iron, a couple of cops, and James Holmes.
T-the porn guy?
No, it was not the infamous python tamer (you're thinking of John), but this Holmes was still packing heat.
Capitol 8 Theater via MSN
Real badasses strap their handguns to their chest, right?
James Holmes was the psychopath who killed 12 people in Aurora, Colorado, during a midnight showing of The Dark Knight Rises. He entered the theater wearing body armor and carrying a rifle, then opened fire.
We'd love to find a way to phrase this next part to really emphasize how stupid the decision was, but try as we might, we can't make it sound any dumber than the plain old unembellished description: One year after a mass shooting by a disturbed individual wearing body armor and carrying a rifle at the premiere of a blockbuster superhero film, Capital 8 hired an actor to walk into their own theater during the premiere of a blockbuster superhero film ... wearing body armor and carrying a (fake) rifle.
Joe Amon / Denver Post
"It's OK, these are blanks! You can stop soiling yourselves now."
As soon as Mysterious Armed Assailant #1 clocked in for work, intrepid theatergoers called the real police, screwing up the whole planned showdown. When the actual cops showed up, they informed the owners that they were lucky that no off-duty officers were present in the audience, otherwise their fun little stunt would have gotten the actor shot in the dang face. It takes a lot of people to make an idea this bad happen: Of course the theater owners should have known better, their employees should have spoken up, and really anybody within earshot should have smacked them upside the head with the Bad Idea Hammer. But actors, maybe you should also consider whether "guy in small-town PR stunt" is a role worth dying for. We know the Jefferson City theater scene is struggling right now, but we hear there's a pretty bitchin' version of The Wiz casting right now, and there's only like a 4 percent chance you'll get shot in the face for playing the Tin Man.

Eh, why not make it an even 10 percent?
#4. The Last Exorcism Part II Assumes You Don't Have a Heart Condition
So there you are at the salon, staring into the mirror, flinching every time the hairdresser bumps your elbow and trying to think of a polite way to say "I don't have an opinion about the weather." Then you see something ... off. It was just for a second, out of the corner of your eye as you were being swiveled around. Probably nothing. But no, there it is again. You get a better look: There's ... there's definitely a freaky-looking girl in the reflection. Clearly, either you were wrong about the existence of ghosts or you're going insane. You're still debating which is more likely when the girl up and walks out of the mirror on her hands like Regan MacNeil. Two paths lie before you: You can have a fear stroke right now, or you can grab those scissors and stab them right through her fucking eye. It won't kill her (you can't kill a demon with scissors; it takes salt and iron, everybody knows that), but maybe it will slow her down enough to -- oh! Turns out you just murdered an actress.
Paul Tearle/Stockbyte/Getty Images
On the plus side, you're kind of a hero.
Well, that's going to knock off a star or two on your Yelp review.
This was all accomplished with a two-way mirror and a really flexible actress. The salon brought in an unsuspecting customer, played out their little show with the costumed girl behind the mirror -- turning out the light every couple of minutes so she was briefly visible -- and then, at the end, they had her crab-walk out from behind the mirror, presumably just crossing their fingers really hard and hoping that the customer didn't have a heart condition or a natural penchant for ghostbusting.
Huffington Post
You can't live your whole life wondering which of your actions might kill someone.
#3. Philips Thinks Bear Attacks Are Hilarious (Only Partially Correct)
Ablestock.com/AbleStock.com/Getty Images
Electronics corporation Philips wanted to kick off its new Singapore marketing campaign with a lovable mascot. And what do people love more than wild bears? Practically nothing! Maybe rabid wolves, or hungry sharks -- but bears have more viral potential, clearly.
Jupiterimages / Photos.com / Getty Images / Comstock
Dear God ... what have we done?
And so they hired an actor to dress up in a bear costume and rampage about town. What's the worst that could happen? Nobody's going to see a guy waiting in line or dancing around in a bear costume and assume it's an actual predator. The only way that would happen is if you shot really grainy video of the actor moving and behaving like a bear, digging through trashcans or some such thing. And why would you do that? What does "bear digging through trashcans" have to do with electric razors? Clearly, the bear should be doing cartwheels in the par- oh, no? They went with the grainy trash thing?
BBC News
Good call, guys.
OK, then. Here comes the backfire:
After the first video of the bear was released, locals panicked and called the cops, reporting a bear on the loose in a populated area.
News reports about the rogue bear started appearing, along with helpful tips on what to do if you run into one -- if you're curious, the best advice is "pretend to be a bear yourself," followed by "panic, die." Philips' loveable new mascot was then hunted by police, animal rights activists, and zoo workers with tranquilizer guns. Not something the Snuggles bear has ever had to deal with, we hear.

My intention is for this to be a Community Wiki. Being that I have not been granted the power to make this a Community Wiki, I ask that someone who does have the power make it one before it gets closed.
I have read through all the FAQ's and decided I am still going to post my question.
I'm in a dilemma I'm sure most of you were at some point in the beginning of your careers. I understand this is a
Q&A site for very specific and technical questions related to
SQA and Testing, which is why I hope someone is kind enough to turn this into a Wiki before the powers that be make it go bye-bye.
I'm about to start my Junior year in college this fall and I major in
Information Systems. I currently work at a hotel doing administrative work and have been lucky to make contacts in the software industry.
The people I met have encouraged me to get my feet "wet" in
QA before attempting to land a developer/programmer role at their company. My college professors have recommended I do the same.
I feel misled.
As I search job sites for
QA Engineers, the requirements present a host of technologies you must be familiar with, none of which I have even heard of, on top of 3-5 years of experience.
Software Quality Assurance does not seem like an entry-level role at all - it seems it is its own monster.
With that said, I can program intermediately in
JavaSE and
Oracle's SQL, have experience with
PHP, XML, and MySQL for web development, and have very strong
HTML and CSS skills, albeit all skills were obtained through school projects.
None of the above are in the list of requirements for a
SQA engineer at any level on the job sites I have found. Why have my professors and peers in the software industry recommended I pursue this? It seems clear I am a much better fit for
Web Development.
My Question:
If anyone out there did start in
SQA, without the familiarity of the plethora of software suites to do debugging, what were the fundamental requirements you did have to have to get the job?

Hi everyone,
yesterday I downloaded the sencha io sdk and tried to get it running. I followed the instructions in the docs. But the chrome console always throws following error:

Does sencha.io work with sencha touch 2.1.1?
11 Mar 2013 9:56 AM #3
Sencha.io has been tested and works with Sencha Touch versions 2.1, 2.1.1 and 2.2b1
In one of your examples above you added the 'cf' to the loader. That should not be needed, though I don't think adding it would cause the problems you were seeing.
Also if you are using the Cmd and the loader you should not need to include the pre-built io library. That is only for apps that are not using the loader or Cmd.
Take another look at the guides for either adding io to an existing app:
Or setting up the example apps:
You should be able to get the example apps up and running by following the steps in the above example.

Unfortunately not. I managed to get the examples with the sync proxy working, but not my project. I will give the hint with the store and the proxy a try.

For seventy years or so, comfy and homey Kaelin's was a fixed star on the Louisville culinary scene. It claimed to have invented the cheeseburger, an assertion that may have seemed unlikely but was actually true. Completing its iconic image was the bright sign out front: "If you can't stop, please wave."
Kaelin's is gone now, alas. The Kaelin family sold it a few years back. But the new tenant – Mulligan's – still turns out a mean cheeseburger, and they kept the sign, so when you drive by, please feel free to wave.
On the other hand, there's plenty of reason to pull in, park and come on in. It's changed a bit, with a large bar as the center of attention now, and wood decor that's cozily dim even on a sunny day, but comfort food – including a $6.95 cheeseburger – is still a mainstay.
The menu offers a wide selection of bar munchies and down-home lunchies, with prices topping out at $13.95 (for a fried or baked cod dinner or a 12-ounce grilled rib eye). A retro delight, old-fashioned roast beef served open-face on white bread with homemade mashed potatoes and gravy, is $8.95.
Our party recently settled in on the shaded patio on a mild afternoon and loaded up on a crispy fried cod sandwich with onion rings ($9.40), an oversize chicken-salad sandwich ($6.50); a cup of Louisville-style chili ($2.95) and spinach salad ($5.95), and a decent pizza with onions and mushrooms ($9.95). The four of us had a fine meal and got away for $38.91 plus tip.

UI Student Entrepreneur Touts Bracelets for Looks, Survival
Andy Topping considers his product line more than just something to wear. They are, he said, "bracelets with a purpose."
Earlier this year, the University of Iowa freshman launched AndysParacords.com, an online business that sells bracelets made from parachute cord. Topping touts the colorful bracelets, which sell for $8.95 to $12.95, as something more than an attractive accessory.
"A paracord bracelet can be used for survival, enabling you to carry several feet of parachute cord very easily," Topping said.
"It can be unraveled and used when camping, boating, hunting, hiking, and any other situation where you need a strong length of cord. Each bracelet includes between 8 and 10 feet of parachute cord that will handle up to 550 pounds before it will break."
Topping makes each of the bracelets, weaving the same parachute cord that soldiers have used as a substitute shoelace, for attaching equipment to harnesses, tying items to vehicle racks, securing nets to trees, or as a trip wire behind enemy lines.
The seven strands of yarn within the sheath can be removed when finer nylon string is needed to repair a tear in a tent or backpack. The ends of parachute cord can be melted to seal them.
Once a paracord item is unraveled, it will need to be rewoven.
"Parachute cord became much more available to civilians after World War II, Korea, and Vietnam because of the number of uses that were discovered for it," Topping said. "It's available in 30 different colors and single-color bracelets take about 5 minutes to make.
"There are several different types of weaves and different types of clips that are available. I'm also making lanyards, key fobs, and dog collars that can be unraveled and used for much the same purpose."
Metal shackles and plastic clips are available. The plastic clips will release at about 35 pounds of pressure, whereas the metal shackles are much stronger.
Topping said the bracelets can be sold as fundraisers or to raise awareness of various causes, such as a black-and-pink weave for breast cancer.
"I wanted to create something that is stylish and cool but also multipurpose," he said.
Topping is able to buy some of the items used to make his products locally, with the exception of the paracord that has to be ordered online.
"If someone has used their paracord bracelet, lanyard, key fob, or dog collar to save someone's life, and they're willing to share their story, I will replace it without charge," Topping said.
As a full-time student majoring in business at UI, Topping said he has had to learn time management as well as applying many of the business and marketing principles he learned while a student at West High School. He recently introduced a new Big Ten line of paracord bracelets that have the school colors of each university.
The bracelets are custom-made to the size of a customer's wrist.
"Paracord will shrink slightly if it gets wet, but it dries fairly quickly," he added.
Topping, like many young entrepreneurs with a new product, has embraced social networking as a marketing tool.
"My website and Facebook page have been key to marketing the bracelets," Topping said. "I plan to use other forms of advertising, but social media and word-of-mouth have been very successful for me so far."
