Archbishop Gregory apologizes.
Last week I pointed out that Archbishop Wilton Gregory of Atlanta had recently moved into a $2.2-million, 6,200-square-foot home--an expense made possible by a $15-million bequest. Gregory had been living at the cathedral rectory, but apparently that parish is growing rapidly. The rector of the cathedral asked Gregory whether the parish could purchase the property from the archdiocese, and Gregory agreed. That's why he built the new residence. But in January, Gregory met with parishioners who weren't happy with that plan. They wanted him to sell the new building, move into the old one, and use the money to help the poor.
In an interview with the Atlanta Journal-Constitution this month, Gregory and McNamee said the expenditures were necessary for their living arrangements and that it was too late to reverse course. They also noted the plans had been approved by governing bodies within their respective institutions.
"To undo what has been publicly announced for two years wouldn't be a prudent use of archdiocese resources," Gregory said.
Gregory also said he thinks the new home would have the pope's blessing.
"He wants his bishops to engage with his people," said Gregory, who was installed as archbishop in Atlanta in 2005. His new home, he said, allows for larger groups to visit; the grounds also are good for cookouts and other outdoor activities. In this way, said Gregory, he can follow the pope's admonition to "smell like the flock" — to be close to parishioners.
"It's important for me to connect," he said. "And that's another dominant theme for Pope Francis."
The archbishop has had a change of heart. Yesterday he issued a long, remarkably candid apology, leading with a tough letter he received from a parishioner. "We are disturbed and disappointed to see our church leaders not setting the example of a simple life as Pope Francis calls for," she wrote.
How can we instill this in our children when they see their archdiocesan leadership living extravagantly? We ask you to rethink these decisions and understand the role model the clergy must serve so the youth of our society can answer Jesus' call. Neither our 18- or 14-year-old sons understand the message you are portraying.
Gregory responds:
As the Shepherd of this local Church, a responsibility I hold more dear than any other, certainly more than any configuration of brick and mortar, I am disappointed that, while my advisors and I were able to justify this project fiscally, logistically and practically, I personally failed to project the cost in terms of my own integrity and pastoral credibility with the people of God of north and central Georgia.
I failed to consider the impact on the families throughout the Archdiocese who, though struggling to pay their mortgages, utilities, tuition and other bills, faithfully respond year after year to my pleas to assist with funding our ministries and services.
I failed to consider the difficult position in which I placed my auxiliary bishops, priests, deacons and staff who have to try to respond to inquiries from the faithful about recent media reports when they might not be sure what to believe themselves.
I failed to consider the example I was setting for the young sons of the mother who sent the email message with which I began this column.
To all of you, I apologize sincerely and from my heart.
Read the rest right here.

It is amazing how the desire for a red hat can bring about conversion.
Good to see and, I am sure, apology extended and accepted by the people.
Hard to justify 6200 square foot home for one person (two at most!).
I don't understand the logic that led to the original idea. Meeting and cookouts, etc. should occur on community space. So if you are going to build an area, build in off the parish or off the pastoral centre grounds. That way anybody from any group in the area can book the space.
But this was his private home. Unless he wants his private home to be a community space ?? Obviously he is entitled to his privacy.
But, I don't know...simple living is not much of a sacrifice for me as I was never drawn to suburbia, big homes, nice cars, etc. in the first place so don't understand the draw.
Worthwhile to erad the whole statement to see his plans for the future... a remarkable document, really... deserves real credit for contrition and change of plans
I'm confused. I just read his letter. He apologizes, but it doesn't say his house plans have changed.
"Going forward" he promises to listen more. Have I missed something? What about the mansion?
Oh, I see. If it's the will of his board, he'll sell it. Sorry for the comment above.
So, we'll see. The decision has been passed to another body.
Not decided yet, in other words.
When the parish I used to belong to went almost bankrupt, they sold the newly renovated housing quarters, and the next parish administrator moved into what had been the old rectory, which by then had been changed to a community space. His room was somewhere in the upper parts of the house, but his kitchen was part of the community space. He was a gregarious guy and seemed to enjoy the proximity. When we walked in before a choir rehearsal, if he happened to be eating he would invite us to share his breakfast. In that case he wasn't taking on the smell of his sheep, but instead we were taking on the smell of the pastor!
Trinity Church (Episcopal) in Boston went through this same discussion in February, when the vestry bought a $3.6 million condo on Beacon Hill as the Rectory - to replace the Rectory attached to the church which had been converted to office space.
Trinity Church's purchase of a $3.6 million Beacon Hill condo to house its rector is sparking dissension among some members of the landmark Episcopal congregation, with a few even asking if the church could resell the property.
Some say they feel the new rectory, where the Rev. Samuel T. Lloyd III now lives, feeds the perception that Trinity is a bastion of privilege and obscures the congregation's significant contributions to the city's less fortunate. Others say the problem goes deeper than optics, maintaining that the purchase is a departure from the Christian ethic of standing in solidarity with the poor and marginalized.
"I thought it sent a very bad message about our values," said Gary Sandison, a longtime congregant and former member of the vestry, the council elected by the congregation to make decisions for the church. "It pained me deeply because I know Trinity . . . is doing wonderful things in the city."
About 100 of the church's 2,000 or so active participants attended a conversation about the purchase with church leaders on Sunday. A second meeting is scheduled for Feb. 26....
"I thought Trinity was so sensitive to our relative privilege in comparison to the lack thereof of the people that we help, and it's a really insensitive act to have bought a $3.6 million rectory in Beacon Hill," she said. "So that was sort of a betrayal. It puts us in the position of one who treats business decisions and living in the lap of luxury above . . . putting that money somewhere else or living in modesty...."
The Beacon Hill property is a refurbished 3,100-square-foot, two-level condo in a three-unit brick row house on Chestnut Street, about a block from Boston Common. Amenities include a two-car garage, a pantry with a wine cellar, an outdoor courtyard, and a guest cottage.
Because much of the rectory's cost was covered by Trinity's $30 million endowment, Lawrence and Smith said, the purchase had little effect on the church's operating budget and no impact on its work for the poor....
Lloyd, who lived in the old rectory for 11 years before leaving for a six-year stint as dean of the Washington National Cathedral, returned to Trinity in 2011. Until last month, he and his wife, who have two grown children, had been living in a church-subsidized rental in the Back Bay. The vestry felt Lloyd needed a permanent place to live within walking distance of the church, and one large enough to accommodate church dinners, meetings, and other gatherings....
Louise Burnham Packard, executive director of the Trinity Boston Foundation, said she was glad the discussion had prompted the congregation to ponder how it could contribute even more to the community and also contemplate a fundamental question in their own lives: "How much is enough?
"If this building purchase could prompt us all to take that question to whatever the next level is for each of us, what a remarkable thing," she said.
Impressive - reminds me of back in 2002 when Gregory led the abuse charter efforts. He was inspired by a personal letter to him from his chancellor (a married father with children and his views on the issue - http://douthat.blogs.nytimes.com/2010/05/04/the-man-who-saved-american-catholicism/?_php=true&_type=blogs&_r=0
Have posted on this before but have noticed a pattern among some US bishops who have shifted practice and seek *desirable, upper middle class to expensive* settings and justify this using the excuse that they need to appeal to big donors in a *proper setting*. The current Dallas bishop, Kevin Farrell, who has been leading the USCCB fundraising committee for years, is a big proponent of this drive.
What amazes me is that the counter example of living with the poor (e.g. inner city rectory or in a seminary setting) carries a powerful message. Why is this dismissed? Rather, the use of *big business* methods; marketing approaches; appeal to the rich trump the gospel imperatives and a church of and for the poor? It's as if the examples of Vincent dePaul, Francis of Asissi, Jesuit missionaries have no value and yet think about the immense outpouring from everyday folks who are inspired by these historical examples. Truism - if you give it away, it comes back to you in multiples.
Bravo, attaboy and awesome, dude.
Bill - I agree entirely.
Rita - "The decision has been passed to another body" - I'm not sure that's quite right or gives the full picture. Here is what he writes:
There are structures already in place in the Archdiocese from which I am able to access the collective wisdom of our laity and our clergy.In April I will meet with the Archdiocesan Council of Priests, and in early May our Archdiocesan Pastoral Council (a multi-cultural group of Catholics of all ages, representing parishes of all sizes, who serve as a consultative body to me) will convene. I will ask for the Finance Council of the Archdiocese to schedule an extraordinary meeting.
So another way we could interpret this is: he is engaging his clergy in decisionmaking (collegiality); he is engaging the laity of the archdiocese in decisionmaking (collaboration); these advisory and consultative groups are to be more than rubber stamps for whatever he wants; he is recognizing that the archbishop's residence is not just a personal decision, it is an *archdiocesan* decision (utilizing archdiocesan funds) and so it is right and proper that the archdiocese as a whole should participate in the decisionmaking.
Isn't this what Commonweal Catholics want from their bishops?
It would have been even more admirable if Gregory had taken this approach from the beginning. But how many times have we seen defensiveness, stonewalling, excuse-making from bishops, with no change of heart and no change in behavior. That Gregory is exhibiting a change of heart and behavior is something. That he listened and took to heart the feedback from his people is something.
What amazes me is that the counter example of living with the poor (e.g. inner city rectory or in a seminary setting) carries a powerful message. Why is this dismissed?
Cardinal O'Malley sold the 1920's mansion Cardinal O'Connell had built in Brighton, and moved into the Cathedral rectory in the South End of Boston. Doesn't seem to have hurt his fundraising.
Is this an April Fool's joke?
I would say that it is most appropriate that this wonderful revelation of unbridled excess is revealed to the USA RCC masses (small "m") on April 1, 2014. Of course, the question is: Do we have just one FOOL or many fools?
BLING in the North........Archbishop Myers in Newark, NJ
BLING in the South......Archbishop Gregory in Atlanta
It's all part of the leadership training in "hubris" that is part of their advancement.
I'm no fan of the bishops' decison making in their esidences and think what he did was stupid and more, but I'll hope that this collaboration and cionsultation will yield some real dialogue and change in his and diocesan decision making.
In our little old and relatively inexpensive city, the bishop's residence is across from the chancery (nicely appointed, I hear, and some excess) and the retired bishop retfro fit the catheral convent - once held 16 nuns- (rumor says for $500,00!) a few years ago... so even inner city doesn't guaratee simplicity...
John - agree and think O'Malley would have done that any way. Unfortunately, it was linked to Law and the abuse settlement payouts.
The ongoing joke - he sold it to the Jesuits.
The ongoing joke - he sold it to the Jesuits.
Actually, Boston College, which has a lay board - like most Jesuit colleges these days, I gather. Most of the money (close to $100 million, as I recall) was for the land, which they wanted for campus expansion.
Part of the deal was that the archdiocese would remove Cardinal O'Connell's body from the premises (he was entombed in a free-standing chapel). That dragged on in court because his family wouldn't agree. Eventually, he was buried on the grounds of an upscale Catholic boy's school.
It is really historic that Bishops are finally acknowledging that their lifestyle does not square with the Master's teaching. And that they are admitting that they have had no sympathy for their parishioners who work to pay mortgages and other pressing bills. Finally, Catholics , with the help of Francis, are growing up and demanding of leaders that they measure up to the Lord who had no home of his own.
What is important here is that the LAITY caused this to happen.
What is sad here is that the LAITY had to cause this to happen.
Let's be honest here: Hierarchical ontology --- aka, the ecclesial pecking order --- more than justifies a mansion for those who exercise ecclesial governance over everybody else. I mean, Would it do for a hierarch to try to reside in a parsonage or shotgun house?
All seriousness aside, I hope the AB will let his advisors et al know that he would feel perfectly comfortable living in "ordinary" comfort like most of the rest of us. No squalor, of course, but no excess, either.
AB Gregory made a wise move in apologizing to his people for this failure. At least the man demonstrated remorse, which is more than we've come to expect from many of his fellow arch/bishops.
May he live up to what the local church expects of him.
JJ = can think of some pretty expensive *shotgun houses* in the Garden District of New Orleans.
Thank you, Alan MItchell: "It is amazing how the desire for a red hat can bring about conversion." LOL.
Thank you, Bill Mazzella: "It is really historic that Bishops are finally acknowledging that their lifestyle does not square with the Master's teaching." Enlightenment, maybe?
Gregory's apology may be half-strategic and half-contritional, but let's not reject wisdom even if late.
I remember that powerful letter from the father to Gregory, but it did not seem to have lasting impact. Gregory catches the PR moment perfectly, but let's see the long-term impact. His statement years ago to the effect that "it's history" is seriously contradicted by the records of bishops.
See below for the latest on USCCB audits, which are self-reviews, not audits, even according to William Gavin, who did the audits through 2009: . "It was an audit in quotes...I think it was more of a program review than anything else." http://m.npr.org/story/134953417
I"m sure that the word "Chicago" has weighed on his mind since this all came to light.
For whatever reason, this story has been prominently reported in the Chicago media - it was a feature segment on the local news station we watched last night, and it made our local newspaper, too. Must be a slow news day.
If anyone is still looking at this topic - my wife showed me a story over the weekend that Gregory is selling the retirement home.

According to an email I got from them, you can also save $30 off of the XD (http://www.microcenter.com/single_product_results.aspx?sku=132977) and the XS (http://www.microcenter.com/single_product_results.aspx?sku=133041), making them $50 and $70, respectively.
anyone happen to know a free shipping code? About ready to pull the trigger on this deal.
Do Rokus have any way of mirroring content from the computer to TV?
@icarususa You can stream downloaded content via Plex Media server from your computer, but there's no way that I know of to do a live mirror of your computer screen.
Why must you tempt me. I mean I have an xbox and a ps3 and a smart tv but these are nice to have...
I bought one of these from Amazon a few weeks ago for $40 when they were on sale and I love it. I was previously using an XBOX 360 with Twonky to stream content from my Mac and this $400 console couldn't play more than a couple of minutes (of SD content even) before it would rebuffer, much less stream HD content. The tiny hockey puck of a device that cost a tenth as much hasn't a single issue streaming even HD content using Plex Media Server (which is free, unlike Twonky) and has the added advantage of playing (through Plex channels) content such as Spotify, and news from CNN and MSNBC and all kinds of other audio and video channels.
The AppleTV still beats everything else I've used in terms of interface (and using your iOS device as a remote rocks), but in terms of content, I highly recommend the Roku, especially at this price.
Looks like a great deal.
The $40 box at Amazon was a purple LT one... I don't care for the color. Maybe I should gift that?
Just a heads up for those that didn't know, there is an android app (and probably iOS I'm sure) from Roku that lets you use your phone/device as a remote along with some other features. Pretty slick.

TORONTO -City Mayor John Geddis was the guest speaker for Thursday's luncheon meeting of the city chamber of commerce at the North River Avenue Christian Church.
Geddis told members the city had a bright future, was financially solvent and thinking about the future.
"We're in a positive mode," said Geddis. "We ended the year in the black."

MAYOR SPEAKS — Toronto Mayor John Geddis was the guest speaker during the Toronto Ohio Chamber of Commerce's Thursday luncheon meeting at the First River Avenue Christian Church. Geddis spoke about the city's positive future during the meeting. -- Mark Miller
The mayor also said the city's business community was becoming more diverse, with several developments in the city tied to oil and gas development. The city reaped $2.5 million in tax revenue for 2012, which Geddis said was only $500 off from the auditor's estimated, projected revenue for the year.
"Our projection for last year - we were only only $500 off," Geddis said. "To hit that mark by $500 is pretty good."
Geddis said he'd been fortunate to work with good auditors during his career, and city Auditor Bob Owen had retired at the end of 2012.
"(Councilman at Large) Joe Motto's will be coming back (as auditor)," said Geddis.
Motto previously served as city auditor.
"The Dollar General store is (moving) to where the (former) Save-A-Lot (grocery store) was," said the mayor, adding the current building on Fourth Street will be torn down and another constructed. "The (Toronto High School) Stadium has been completed."
Geddis also cited the sale by FirstEnergy of property at the city's north end to Houston-based Plains Marketing LP, which he said would lead to future development tied to oil and gas drilling. He added the former Kaul Clay property might also be developed. The future of Toronto also rests on the city's having stable sources of revenue as well, he added.
Geddis said capital improvements for this year will include the demolition of more derelict housing with funds from the state attorney general's office.
"The Kwik King stores have been sold to Coen Oil from Washington, Pa.," said Geddis, adding former owner John Riley still is keeping his petroleum company based in Toronto.
The city still owes about $10 million on its water treatment plant, said the mayor, who also said the city soon will undertake a $1.9 million waterline replacement project to replace older waterlines, "mainly in the city's south end," he said. "We're trying to line up all the revenue (sources) we can."
Geddis said revenue will come from a variety of sources, including low-interest loans, grants and other sources. He added the Titanium Way bridge also need replaced, but "We have to get that bridge done," he said, adding more than 80 trucks per day use the bridge. "It may be one lane for a while. It will be a bit of an inconvenience."
The mayor also said the City Police have stepped up their game, and the city reaped more than $70,000 in fines last year. He added officers also have been working to deter drug activity in the city.
"I think the ($70,000 in fines) is a record," he said. "We've got a great police department. We have a lot of new, younger guys, and they are more aggressive."
Geddis also noted the city's two seniors clubs have been growing with members joining from outside Toronto.
"The city also gives funds to the two seniors' groups," said the mayor. "It's a great community to live in. The people of Toronto are what make it special."

What is the term for two siblings born on the same calendar day, one or more years apart? I know there's a term, and I'd know it if I saw it, but I can't for the life of me remember it.

Aside from saying that you "share a birthday", I am not sure that such a term exists. If it does it isn't likely to be very well known. Restricting it to only match siblings is likely to make things less likely to match up perfectly.
Generally, special birthdays are given a modifier. Most of these are just off the cuff:
Other words that could work apart from "shared":
You could also go the other way with it and accentuate the negative:

I've seen some questions asking why xxx can't connect to
MyMacName.local, which answer regarding Avahi as a requirement.
I don't think I am in the same category as I can successfully connect to a Windows machine without needing to do anything on my Debian one.
I am able to SSH into both Windows and Mac via IP address, but the Mac only via IP.
Does something need to change on the Mac side or the Debian host?
- Debian can connect to Windows via hostname
- Windows can connect to Debian via hostname
- Debian cannot connect to OS X via hostname
- OS X cannot connect to Debian via hostname
All can connect to each other via IP

I know, I know. You've been with Yahoo! for 10 years. You love your Yahoo! Your Yahoo! is free. Well guess what? Your Yahoo! is also keeping you from getting a LOT of your mail.
In fact, except for the biggest ISPs (like Comcast, etc.) and mail services that Yahoo! themselves run, such as SBC- and AT&T-related domains, there's a good chance that you're missing more than 50% of the mail that's sent to you.
Right now, many of you are probably thinking I'm crazy. But it's true. Over the last 18 months or so, Yahoo! has begun non-standard e-mail practices that result in most inbound messages being considered to be spam.
Do a search on Google for the words yahoo temporarily deferred and you'll get back no fewer than 180,000 results. This is a huge problem.
It all started when Yahoo! decided to implement a proprietary anti-spam system called DomainKeys. DomainKeys is a way for a mail server to "sign" messages sent out, combined with a matching "signature" in the DNS for the sending domain, so that Yahoo! can validate that the message in question really came from the server it says it came from. DNS, by the way, is what matches your domain's IP address with its name.
So Yahoo! checks the signatures of both, and if they match, then the message isn't considered spam.
The first problem is that, again, this system is proprietary. There was already a similar system in place called SPF, which is an accepted standard and one that's been in place since late 2004. It doesn't use the signatures, but it does use DNS, which is just as good: A spammer can't fake the SPF records for a particular domain, because there's no way for a spammer to get access to DNS for a domain they don't own.
So Yahoo! started checking inbound mail for DomainKeys, yet there weren't really any mail servers set up to sign mail with DomainKeys signatures because, again, it was a proprietary system. The result of this is that messages not signed with DomainKeys sent to Yahoo! users are "temporarily deferred" with an error code of 421, sometimes for up to six hours. This means Yahoo! received the message, but refuses to deliver it to the recipient because, since you don't use their proprietary system, obviously your message to Aunt Lucy with pictures from your birthday party is spam.
The second problem is that DomainKeys DOES NOT WORK.
A client of mine, an amusement park, is in full hiring swing for the upcoming season. They were seeing all of their messages to Yahoo! deferred, with many never getting to the recipient. Ever. So we investigated installing DomainKeys just for them so that they wouldn't have as much trouble, even though in general I'm opposed to proprietary stuff running on our servers.
So we installed DomainKeys and guess what? A lot of messages signed with DomainKeys are STILL being deferred by Yahoo! mail servers and are never getting delivered. Even after 4-6 hours.
The best part, though, is that the messages that ARE signed with DomainKeys that do get through to the intended recipient at Yahoo!, sometimes in less than a minute…are STILL automatically put into the user's Spam folder!
Let's review the situation:
Our mail server conforms to all standard e-mail protocols
We've installed Yahoo!'s stupid DomainKeys system and it's properly signing messages sent from our server
Yahoo! still doesn't deliver a large percentage of signed messages. Ever.
The mail that Yahoo! does accept is still considered spam and put into the recipient's spam folder
Ok, so let's say that Aunt Lucy doesn't really care about you or your stupid birthday party, so no great loss that she never got the message you sent. But LOTS of you out there who use Yahoo! have mail from other domains forwarded to you at your Yahoo! address. And lots of you use it for business.
Uh oh.
Let's see…2+2…carry the 4…silent 'e'…hmm, is the light bulb on yet? Yup. This means that you're potentially missing the MAJORITY of business-related e-mails that people are trying to send to you. And I'm pretty sure that missing e-mail from prospective customers is not on your business plan for success.
"I don't miss any e-mails!" you proclaim.
Yeah. Um. How would you know? Unless the person contacts you. And I'd be willing to bet that some people in fact HAVE contacted you. And you can't figure out why they can't send mail to you. Now you know.
So what do you do?
Well, for starters, you need to leave Yahoo! It's fine as a secondary e-mail service I suppose, for personal stuff that doesn't matter, but for a primary place where you receive anything important, Yahoo! cannot be trusted to deliver your mail to you. And Yahoo!'s "Postmaster" department, the part of the company responsible for mail, is notorious for not being cooperative with other companies to try to resolve this issue.
In fact Yahoo! has a form that companies can fill out to try to fix this whole mess (as a funny aside, this is the link that Yahoo! has on their own website to fill out the form…notice that it does not, in fact, link to a form, but to a menu of vaguely-related topics…very helpful, thanks Yahoo!). Most companies who go through the process either never hear back from Yahoo!, or Yahoo! responds by saying that the company in question can't be "whitelisted" on Yahoo!'s mail system because Yahoo! users have deemed the company's mail as spam.
My company has never sent out a bulk mailing in 10 years. Not a single unsolicited e-mail. The only time we ever send mail to Yahoo! is to reply to a message we receive. And yet somehow Yahoo! has come up with the answer that Yahoo! users have determined that the replies that I'm sending to their e-mails are spam.
Uh huh.
Back to the amusement park client…even after installing DomainKeys, my client is entirely unable to send mail to certain addresses at Yahoo! Including his own. So before you think that the companies who are trying to get whitelisted are lying about whether or not they send out bulk mail, ask yourself what are the odds that my client has "determined" that his own mail is spam. Not very good, probably.
If you can't stand the thought of paying for mail service, then at least pick a service that doesn't have these issues, such as GMail. The time to dump Yahoo! is now. Well, really, it's 18 months ago. But now will do just fine.

I have designed my ERD. It has derived attributes. When it comes to relational data modeling using relational schema, I've designed my tables and linked everything properly. I don't know if I should add a field in my table that has a derived attribute?
Derived Attribute:- Total = Price * Quantity.
Customer (ID, CustomerName, ItemsID, Total)
Can "Total" be included in "Customer" table?


text: There is no way that a person can draw too many cats. That is why I wanted to make a lesson on "how to draw chibi cats", step by step. Drawing any type of chibi animal is incredibly fun and easy to do. Unless of course you are making a detailed sketch for realism, but if you're just drawing basic chibi animals it should be pretty simple. The two cats that you will be drawing are in a very playful pose. I decided to make them siblings and because of this, you can choose to make them sister and sister, brother and brother, or sister and brother. In my case I wanted them to be brother and sister because they remind me of my brother and sister who are always playing with each other. My brother is twelve and he is a real sport because he will sit there and play with my little sister for hours just because she has no one her age in the family to play with. The tiger looking chibi cat is supposed to be my seven year old sister and as you can see she is tackling my brother. He is just lying there wishing he didn't have to play with her at all. Anyways this is an extremely cute tutorial that will teach you "how to draw chibi cats". I will be back with more drawing fun so stay tuned in. Adios people!

Most travel websites, especially those presenting deals and allowing comparison of different packages, show the price per traveler. Same case for ads on Internet and billboards in cities.
When I want to dig further into a deal, I enter the number of travelers which is 2 by default... as I do not have a companion, I replace the value by 1, causing a price update which make that deal not so much interesting after all. Anyway, this is logical since the hotel room price is no more shared.
Nearly all situation stipulate that price is on a basis of "2 people sharing a double room". When planning solo travel, comparison is difficult.
Why is it the standard to assume that people often travel in pair? Is there any efficient way to compare travel offers for solo travelers? The question also applies for cruise lines.

I assume that this community has professional experience in mathematics and I would like to model your approach on how to become professional in writing proofs. This might be an unusual question, but I believe that many members of this community would appreciate your advice and experiences. For my part I really would appreciate your advice, since memorizing isn't enough for me to study math. But still when I start proofing theorems I just don't know where to start.

A positive pion is an up and an anti-down. A negative pion is a down and an anti-up. What's a pion with an electrical charge of 0?
Up and anti-up.
Or down and anti-down.
Funny thing is, both of those have the exact same quantum numbers - parity, spin, baryon number and the rest. So a neutral pion can be a mixture of (u + anti-u) and (d + anti-d). There actually result two types of neutral "pion" that decay differently. One is actually heavier, and we call it the eta meson.
Oops I didn't mention yet the strange and anti-strange quark combination, which also gets tangled into the mixes... but it's not important to the neutral pion.
They're made of a combination of up and anti-up, down and anti-down, and strange and anti-strange. And that's just to begin with. To be perfectly accurate you'd have to add all six quarks (okay, maybe not the top).
The short reason is that all these quark combinations have the right quantum numbers and so are included. Feynman diagrams of all sorts contribute, for example:
In the above, the wavy lines are virtual vector bosons. I've put two in because, as Anna V notes, the pion is a psuedoscalar and so has zero spin. Of course the heavy quarks don't appear very much in a light meson since they have to be made from borrowed energy.
People aren't much interested in the heavy quark contribution to the pion. An analogous subject is the heavy quark content of the proton and a reference which will illustrate how this comes about is:
Note that the masses of the nucleons are about 1 GeV while the mass of the t-quark is around 171 GeV.

I host a small website with a well known VPS service. They provided me with one IPv4 address upon registering and said additional addresses would require justification. I requested one additional IPv4 address so as to have one for a production environment and one for a testing/QA environment. They said this was unnecessary as I could just use alternative TCP ports for the test environment.
I can live with using a non-standard port for non-production hosting, but it got me thinking, what would be valid justification? (I asked them and they didn't want to answer). Is there an industry standard for what counts as "valid" justification for additional IPv4 addresses?

I have solved the following problem from Griffiths "Introduction to Quantum Mechanics".
Consider the wavefunction: $\Psi (x,t) = A e^{-\lambda |x|} e^{-i\omega t} $
Normalize $\Psi$.
Now, we want $ \int_{-\infty}^\infty |\Psi (x,t)|^2 dx = 1$
It is fairly straightforward, where the modulus is $|\Psi (x,t)|= r = A e^{-\lambda |x|}$. Therefore I square $r$ and integrate. I deal with the absolute value sign by multiplying by $2$ and integrating from 0 to $\infty$, while dropping the absolute value sign, to get:
$ 2\int_0^\infty (A e^{-\lambda x})^2 dx$
This should give me a factor of $A^2$ which I can take outside the integral sign. However, instead of a simple $A^2$, the solution gives an $|A|^2$. I don't understand where the absolute value sign came from. After all, taking the above expression $r$ as being equal to $|\Psi(x,t)$|, the modulus has already been dealt with.

Hello to all,
I have been looking quite recently at the following theorem: Let $X$ be a projective variety and $T$ a tilting object for $X$. If $A:=End(T)$ is the associated endomorphism algebra, then the functor $RHom(T -): D^b(X) \rightarrow D^b(A)$ is in fact an equivalence. Now, this is proven (as in the claasical Bondal paper) by showing that the functor is fully faithful and essentially surjective. But in I have noticed another version where one defines a functor $-\otimes^L_A T: D^b(A) \longrightarrow D^b(X)$. My question is could someone maybe give a definition of this functor (I of course know what all types of tensor-products are, but I'm not really sure how to "tensor" a module over a noncommutative ring $A$ together with a sheaf to obtain another sheaf.

"Turkey blue"
LOL great typo you caught there, pretty sure it is meant to say from "...Turkish Blue to Blazing Red...". Just a heads-up - I was curious as to what color "Turkey Blue" woulda been. :P
The fact that they added heat sensitive ink to the outer case that is supposed to change based on heat coming from using the drive worries me... a lot.
Sold out.

The boat ramp at James Dykes Memorial Park, located on the Ocmulgee River, is closed through December 20 for improvements.
"If the weather cooperates, we expect that the boat ramp will re-open to trailer launches on December 20 and will be fully operational on December 23," said Bryon McCarley, statewide boating access coordinator with the Georgia Department of Natural Resources' Wildlife Resources Division.
Improvement work includes removing the two deteriorating boat ramps, restoring the bank where the south ramp was located and replacing the north ramp. Additionally, stairs will be added to improve foot access to the replacement ramp.

Do you know the greatest threats to men's health? The list is surprisingly short. The top causes of death among adult men in the U.S. are heart disease, stroke, cancer and chronic lower respiratory disease, according to the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention. The good news is that a few lifestyle changes can significantly lower your risk of these common killers.
Take charge of your health by making healthier lifestyle choices. For example:
Don't wait to visit the doctor until something is seriously wrong. Your doctor can be your best ally for preventing health problems. Be sure to follow your doctor's treatment recommendations if you have health issues, such as high cholesterol, high blood pressure or diabetes. Also, be sure to ask your doctor about when you should have cancer screenings and other health evaluations.
Another common cause of death among men are motor vehicle accidents. To stay safe on the road, use common sense. Wear your seat belt. Follow the speed limit. Don't drive under the influence of alcohol or any other substances, and don't drive while sleepy.
Suicide is another leading men's health risk. An important risk factor for suicide among men is depression. If you have signs and symptoms of depression — such as feelings of sadness or unhappiness and loss of interest in normal activities — consult your doctor. Treatment is available. If you're contemplating suicide, call for emergency medical help or go the nearest emergency room.
Understanding health risks is one thing. Taking action to reduce your risks is another. Start with healthy lifestyle choices — eating a healthy diet, staying physically active, quitting smoking and getting recommended health screenings. The impact may be greater than you'll ever know.

Digestive Disorders Health Center
Lactose Intolerance
In this article
How Is Lactose Intolerance Treated?
Lactose intolerance is easily treated. People with the condition can usually find a level of lactose-containing foods that will not produce symptoms. Through trial and error, you can determine what amount and type of lactose-containing products you can tolerate.
In addition, you may try consuming small amounts of milk or dairy products with meals because lactose may be better tolerated when eaten with other foods. Also, you may be better able to tolerate certain dairy products that contain less sugar, including cheese, yogurt, and cottage cheese. The active cultures in yogurt produce some lactase enzymes to help digestion.
For people who get symptoms from very small amounts of lactose, over-the-counter lactase enzyme replacement (Lactaid) can be used. Lactase enzyme replacement converts lactose into its more digestible simple sugar components: glucose and galactose. The enzyme replacement is taken along with food to help digest lactose. Lactose-free milk, cheese, and other dairy products are also available at many supermarkets.
Can I Get Enough Calcium If I'm Lactose Intolerant?
People who are lactose intolerant don't necessarily have to consume milk and dairy products to get the calcium they need to maintain proper nutrition. The following nondairy foods are good sources of calcium and don't contain lactose:
- Broccoli
- Pinto beans
- Lettuce greens such as spinach and kale
- Tuna, canned
- Sardines, with edible bones
- Salmon, canned with edible bones
Other foods
- Calcium-enriched fruit juice
- Soy milk
- Tofu (calcium-enriched)
Eating 2-4 servings of these calcium-rich foods a day will help ensure that you are getting enough calcium in your daily diet.
Vitamin D will help your body use calcium. You can get adequate amounts of vitamin D from exposure to the sun, and by consuming fortified milk, eggs, and fish. If you are concerned you may have a vitamin D deficiency, ask your health care provider to check your 1,25 hydroxy vitamin D level. You may need to take a vitamin D supplement.
If you have trouble consuming enough calcium-rich foods in your daily diet, talk to your health care provider or a dietitian about taking a calcium supplement. The amount of calcium supplement you will need depends on your individual daily needs and how much calcium you get through food sources.

You set the file/dirname transfer variable, in the end point you set the path destination, this command uses pipe view to show progress, compress the file outut and takes account to change the ssh cipher. Support dirnames with spaces.

Just refining last proposal for this check, showing awk power to make more complex math (instead /1024/1024, 2^20). We don't need declare variable before run lsof, because $(command) returns his output. Also, awk can perform filtering by regexp instead to call grep. I changed the 0.0000xxxx messy output, with a more readable form purging all fractional numbers and files less than 1 MB.
Although Exim will purge frozen (undeliverable) messages over time, the command "exim -Mrm #id#" where #id# is a particular message ID will purge a message immediately. Being lazy, I don't want to type the command for each frozen message, so I wrote the one-liner to do it for me.
What happens here is we tell tar to create "-c" an archive of all files in current dir "." (recursively) and output the data to stdout "-f -". Next we specify the size "-s" to pv of all files in current dir. The "du -sb . | awk ?{print $1}?" returns number of bytes in current dir, and it gets fed as "-s" parameter to pv. Next we gzip the whole content and output the result to out.tgz file.

Only need to install Image Magick package.
Display a xkcd comic with its title and save it in /tmp directory
If you prefer to view the newest xkcd, use this command:
wget -q http://xkcd.com/ -O-| sed -n '/<img src="http:\/\/imgs.xkcd.com\/comics/{s/.*\(http:.*\)" t.*/\1/;p}' | awk '{system ("wget -q " $1 " -O- | display -title $(basename " $1") -write /tmp/$(basename " $1")");}'
I wasn't sure how to display the image, so I thought I'd try xml for a different twist.
as unixmonkey7109 pointed out, first awk parse replaces three steps.
It's not a big line, and it *may not* work for everybody, I guess it depends on the detail of access_log configuration in your httpd.conf. I use it as a prerotate command for logrotate in httpd section so it executes before access_log rotation, everyday at midnight.
This bash function uses albumart.org to find the cover for an album. It returns an amazon.com url to the image.
Usage: albumart [artist] [album]
These arguments can be reversed and if the album name is distinct enough, it may be possible to omit the artist.
The command can be extended with wget to automatically download the matching image like this:
albumart(){ local x y="$@";x=$(awk '/View larger image/{gsub(/^.*largeImagePopup\(.|., .*$/,"");print;exit}' <(curl -s 'http://www.albumart.org/index.php?srchkey='${y// /+}'&itempage=1&newsearch=1&searchindex=Music'));[ -z "$x" ]&&echo "Not found."||wget "$x" -O "${y}.${x##*.}";}
This function uploads images to http://omploader.org and then prints out the links to the file.
Some coloring can also be added to the command with:
ompload() { curl -F file1=@"$1" http://omploader.org/upload|awk '/Info:|File:|Thumbnail:|BBCode:/{gsub(/<[^<]*?\/?>/,"");$1=$1;sub(/^/,"\033[0;34m");sub(/:/,"\033[0m:");print}';}
Simple MAC adrress, thanks to ifconfig.
Sometimes, you don't really care about all the other information that ifconfig spits at you (however useful it may otherwise be). You just want an IP. This strips out all the crap and gives you exactly what you want.
Calculating series with awk only, no need for seq: add numbers from 1 to 100
1+3+...+(2n-1) = n^2
awk 'BEGIN {for(i=1;i<=19;i+=2)sum+=i}; END {print sum}' /dev/null # displays 100
1/2 + 1/4 + ... = 1
awk 'BEGIN {for(i=1;i<=10;i++)sum+=1/(2**i)}; END {print sum}' /dev/null # displays 0.999023
Handled all within awk. Takes the value from $PWD and constructs directory structures and runs commands against them. The gsub() call is not necessary, but added for better visibility.
If a variable DIR is given on the awk command-line, then that directory is used instead:
awk -vDIR=$HOME/.ssh 'BEGIN{dir=DIR?...}'
draw `vmstat ` data using gnuplot
This pipeline will find, sort and display all files based on mtime. This could be done with find | xargs, but the find | xargs pipeline will not produce correct results if the results of find are greater than xargs command line buffer. If the xargs buffer fills, xargs processes the find results in more than one batch which is not compatible with sorting.
Note the "-print0" on find and "-0" switch for perl. This is the equivalent of using xargs. Don't you love perl?
Note that this pipeline can be easily modified to any data produced by perl's stat operator. eg, you could sort on size, hard links, creation time, etc. Look at stat and just change the '9' to what you want. Changing the '9' to a '7' for example will sort by file size. A '3' sorts by number of links....
Use head and tail at the end of the pipeline to get oldest files or most recent. Use awk or perl -wnla for further processing. Since there is a tab between the two fields, it is very easy to process.
I have a directory containing log files. This command delete all but the 5 latest logs. Here is how it works:
* The ls -t command list all files with the latest ones at the top
* The awk's expression means: for those lines greater than 5, delete.
This will calculate a running standard deviation in one pass and should never have the possibility for overflow that can happen with other implementations. I suppose there is a potential for underflow in the corner case where the deltas are small or the values themselves are small.


text:
With a enough provocation, I am willing to take a Sunday to come out of the proverbial closet and shout critiques into the wild aether. In this case, I sat down to watch Richard Dawkins' series Enemies of Reason, which he introduces with the following gem:
There are two ways of looking at the world – through faith and superstition or through the rigours of logic, observation and evidence – in other words, through reason.
At which point I turned it off since Dawkins once more revealed himself to be a mere writer of polemic op-ed pieces rather than a serious contributor to philosophical thought.
The great shock of this comment is not simply in its astonishingly naive view of the world. For some perspective, there are 16 different personality types each in the Myers-Briggs and the DISC systems. In the Keirsey Tempraments system, there are four tempraments with eight roles, and there are six personality types in the Holland Code with most people centering on two apiece. There are nine Enneatypes. In Multiple Intelligence models, there are seven distinct learning intelligence types. Just in Christianity alone, there are over two billion adherents scattered amongst 38,000 denominations and sects. 83% of the world's population is not from the Western cultural heritage. There are over 6.7 billion people in the world overall. Yet, he says, there are only two ways of looking at the world and you have to pick one or the other. It's less of a critique of religion than it is an insult to wonderful, creative, awful, inventive, brilliant humanity.
The greater and deeper shock is what this naiveté says of the person making it and the movement he has come to represent. I should note here that I do not speak of all atheists, the proper, small-a type for whom religion and spirituality are pragmatic non-issues and go about living their lives as civil and constructive members of a multicultural society. I am speaking of verbose, capital-A evangelistic Atheism, for which questions of religion and spirituality are of the utmost importance and for whom different people believing different things than them is a societal problem. If one needs evidence that there is a distinction and that non-belief in deities is not the sole necessary and sufficient characteristic of Atheism, one needs only to invoke the spectre of atheists who have done unpleasant things, at which point it descends into the "no true atheist" fallacy.
But I digress. The shock regarding Dawkins' comment is that a man so intelligent on matters for which he has a degree should show himself to be so profoundly ignorant of matters in which he does not. The shock is that a man who advocates so vehemently for logic should introduce a series entitled Enemies of Reason with a logical fallacy.
G.K. Chesterton addressed this profound - he called it "casual" - ignorance on the part of experts outside their area of expertise. Back in 1910, he observed:
Now against the specialist, against the man who studies only art or electricity, or the violin, or the thumbscrew or what not, there is only one really important argument, and that, for some reason or other, is never offered. People say that specialists are inhuman; but that is unjust. People say an expert is not a man; but that is unkind and untrue. The real difficulty about the specialist or expert is much more singular and fascinating. The trouble with the expert is never that he is not a man; it is always that wherever he is not an expert he is too much of an ordinary man. Wherever he is not exceptionally learned he is quite casually ignorant. This is the great fallacy in the case of what is called the impartiality of men of science. If scientific men had no idea beyond their scientific work it might be all very well — that is to say, all very well for everybody except them. But the truth is that, beyond their scientific ideas, they have not the absence of ideas but the presence of the most vulgar and sentimental ideas that happen to be common to their social clique. If a biologist had no views on art and morals it might be all very well. The truth is that the biologist has all the wrong views of art and morals that happen to be going about in the smart set of his time.
Such vulgar sentimentality expresses itself here in the false dilemma, which is a logical fallacy setting up a question in which two propositions are in opposition which may not be in opposition or for which there may be more than two propositions. Dawkins says that one has to choose between his rational, logical, atheistic way or the irrational, illogical, superstitious way. Never mind that there is every possible theological combination in the negotiation between physics and metaphysics, nor that there are vast swaths of human experience for which neither category really applies, nor that people in their psychological and cultural diversity are far more nuanced and complicated than this ultimatum allows.
He, of course, has a ready defense supplied to him by P.Z. Myers, another biologist. The accusation of crafting a false dilemma is dismissed with the accusation of a "Courtier's Reply". The Courtier's Reply-Reply is little more than a dodge attempting to change the subject when one has been exposed as having an inadequate understanding of the debate's particulars.
In Myers' own words:
I have considered the impudent accusations of Mr Dawkins with exasperation at his lack of serious scholarship. He has apparently not read the detailed discourses of Count Roderigo of Seville on the exquisite and exotic leathers of the Emperor's boots, nor does he give a moment's consideration to Bellini's masterwork, On the Luminescence of the Emperor's Feathered Hat. We have entire schools dedicated to writing learned treatises on the beauty of the Emperor's raiment, and every major newspaper runs a section dedicated to imperial fashion; Dawkins cavalierly dismisses them all. He even laughs at the highly popular and most persuasive arguments of his fellow countryman, Lord D. T. Mawkscribbler, who famously pointed out that the Emperor would not wear common cotton, nor uncomfortable polyester, but must, I say must, wear undergarments of the finest silk.
Dawkins arrogantly ignores all these deep philosophical ponderings to crudely accuse the Emperor of nudity.
Personally, I suspect that perhaps the Emperor might not be fully clothed — how else to explain the apparent sloth of the staff at the palace laundry — but, well, everyone else does seem to go on about his clothes, and this Dawkins fellow is such a rude upstart who lacks the wit of my elegant circumlocutions, that, while unable to deal with the substance of his accusations, I should at least chide him for his very bad form.
Until Dawkins has trained in the shops of Paris and Milan, until he has learned to tell the difference between a ruffled flounce and a puffy pantaloon, we should all pretend he has not spoken out against the Emperor's taste. His training in biology may give him the ability to recognize dangling genitalia when he sees it, but it has not taught him the proper appreciation of Imaginary Fabrics.
The summary of this parable is that religious people will attempt to distract from the fundamental question of whether or not theism is true by making sophistic theological arguments. In defense of Dawkins' logical fallacy one could reply that the diversity of thought on the integration of faith and reason is irrelevant because the object of faith has not been proven true by reason (thereby making faith by definition dialectic with reason). So long as gods and spirits have not been empirically proven, believing in them is automatically irrational and superstitious. Any further analysis of exactly how irrational and superstitious someone is descends into pointlessness.
Allow me to explain exactly where the Courtier's Reply-Reply fails.
First, it claims to be keeping the debate "on track" and focused on the core issue of empirical evidence for the existence of deities. However, the Courtier's Reply-Reply is frequently invoked to dodge the fact that the issue of proof - for and against - is a vigorous and ongoing theological discussion with numerous different perspectives. There is active debate over what categories of proof are relevant (not all proof is empirical), what would constitute a proof, and the strength of propositions in those categories. There is also vigrous debate over exactly what "faith" is and exactly what kind of discipline theology is. Not only do too many Atheists demonstrate themselves to be uninformed about these debates, but also about debates from epistemology and philosophy of science. That is, not only debates within religious circles about the nature of knowledge and proof, but even debates within science (including the error of conflating logic with reason with empiricism).
Nevertheless, the Atheist in question is certainly entitled to make the argument from personal incredulity: "I have not seen evidence for a deity that is sufficient according to my own criteria of evidence, and therefore no one else has." It is certainly reasonable not to accept the existence of something for which one has not been given convincing proof (and it seems to be that "and therefore no one else has" clause that separates atheists from Atheists). It is also possible to set the criteria of sufficient proof so strictly or inappropriately for the context that it becomes impossible for anyone to provide any proof by definition. For example, that only empirical proof is valid and you would have to show empirical proof demonstrating otherwise. Theologians are then entitled to reply that such a self-assured argument is narrow and has little mileage. If I truly do believe that I have seen what you have not seen, then we are only dancing around the mulberry bush of the obvious: you are an atheist and I am not.
That poor mileage may explain the second point on which the Courtier's Reply-Reply fails, which is that Atheists frequently debate the content of religious beliefs, exactly where being theologically and socio-historically informed would be relevant and beneficial. Not only that, but one would think that it should be a basic requirement.
To give a socio-historical example from my own experience, a frequent argument from Atheists is that liberal-moderate theists are complicit with the problems caused by radical-conservative theists because our "superstitious" thinking abstractly encourages their own. To draw it down from the vaporous abstract, I am a pacifist who arrived at that ethos through reflection on my Christian faith. According to Atheists employing this argument, I am responsible for all theists, be they Christians or Muslims or Mormons or Zoroastrians or Hindus or Wiccans, who do use violence. Because I believe things, regardless of what, I am somehow empowering the Christian Fundamentalists condemning me to Hell or Muslim terrorists who want to kill me. I'm unsure as to whether I'm also responsible for the atheists who have committed genocide on religious grounds, since they are not "true" atheists apparently. However, I have also never had a debate over theistic violence with an Atheist who was a pacifist themselves, so it's all somewhat absurd.
This particular association fallacy is so insipid because it demonstrates such an earnest desire to be angry at all theists on principle and without reason. It is a fallacy that could be easily resolved by having any familiarity whatsoever with denominational, interdenominational and inter-religious politics (Which religions are violent and irrational? "Uh... All of them!"). Yet to say so is to invite the Courtier's Reply-Reply that doctrinal distinctions between theists are irrelevant because the issue is over the existence of deities in general.
Of course, they are not. They are absolutely and immediately relevant. The above example was only peripherally about the existence of a god and practically about whether theism is a coherent enough category that any one theist or school of theistic thought could be made responsible for all the others. It's a sociological issue. When Dawkins claims that there are only two ways of looking at the world, he is not making an argument about whether or not a god exists. He is making a specific theological, socio-historical claim that no philosophy of science or religion can exist which integrates the two. This claim is demonstrably false and they are both problems of accurate representation, which is the prerequisite of effective and logical argumentation.
The same is true of any argument against the existence of God based on the content of a religion, such as the definition of a god, the ethical character of a god, why a good god would allow evil, why and if a deity would withhold incontrovertible evidence of its existence, the logical possibility of a deity - should one exist - incarnating as a human being, the nature of sin and salvation, what worshipping a deity means, proper interpretation of sacred writ, and so on (and on and on). Basically, any argument in which the Atheist assumes for the sake of argument that a god exists in order to catch the believer in a contradiction.
In doing so, the Atheist has become a theologian, attempting to work out the end-point of a theological proposition through logical argumentation. When the Atheist - say, a biologist stepping outside the realm of biology - engages in a theological discussion, then whether or not they are a good and informed theologian becomes a relevant issue. So while Myers may protest that "I don't know what's going on in the world of theology. And I don't give a damn." and proceeds to speak as a theologian on theological topics, he is merely admitting and excusing that he is a poorly-informed one.
The Courtier's Reply-Reply becomes little more than a cheat at this point, the very sort of red herring that they accuse theists of making. After attempting a theological argument, the goalposts shift when theological ignorance has been exposed. Doing so only demonstrates that one is not interested in a serious debate. It then bolsters the other logical fallacies in the Atheist rhetorical arsenal, like false dilemmas, straw men, appeals to ridicule, reductio ad Hitlerum and even the too-common ad hominem:
- "You close-minded bigot Christians believe that your bearded man in the sky says X!"
- Well I'm a Christian and I don't believe that.
- "Yes you do! You have to! The Bible says it!"
- I don't and you evidently don't understand what the Bible says or what we think about God. I believe G, N and J, but not X, and if you knew anything about my religion you would know that.
- "Bah! It doesn't matter anyways! All religions are the same! That's just the Courtier's Reply! Courtier's Reply!"
Beyond the fact that the self-proclaimed defenders of logic and reason find it necessary to rely on logical fallacies, there is a wonderful and tedious irony about the Courtier's Reply-Reply. Long before Myers gave it a name, the tactic has been employed by Christian Fundamentalists to excuse their deplorable lack of knowledge about, well, anything. They know, so they say, that Muslims, Wiccans and evolution are wrong, so of what possible benefit is learning about them? Why not persist in saying that Muslims worship a moon goddess, that Wiccans worship the Devil and that the only sufficient evidence for evolution would be a dog changing into a cat right before their eyes? The foundational premises are perceived to be wrong, therefore there is no need to be accurate in the particulars of other people's views.
Let me repeat that, because that is the crux of the Courtier's Reply-Reply: the foundational premises are perceived to be wrong, therefore there is no need to be accurate in the particulars of other people's views.
Amongst those who have suffered for how Christian Fundamentalists feel no pressing need to be accurate are atheists themselves. One of the key pieces of Atheist social justice arguments is that atheism continues to be demonized and misrepresented by the ignorant who insist on speaking against them without knowing anything about them. The pot calls the kettle black and once more we see evidence that a person, even with a PhD, does not automatically become logical and rational in all things simply because they are not a theist.

Having just reached the 1500 mark (yay me!) I added info. to the tags for JNLP and applet over at StackOverflow.
As I was drafting the information on the JNLP tag, I was tempted to link to my own JNLP API demos. Normally I would have no reservations about doing so. Many people have found them to be very handy, my name is on the bottom of each page on the site, there is no charge for the code, and I usually add some text that indicates my connection with them.
But when it came to including the link in the 'about WIKI' I hesitated. These about tags are anonymous, and I feel it is a bit 'underhanded' to link to my own site when posting in an anonymous form.
What do the folks here think? Let's assume for the moment that the link to ones own site is of relevance to the subject in question.
Edit 1: As pointed out by nikic:
The WIKI tag edits are not anonymous. The direct link for the edit history on that tag is available amongst 3 links at the bottom of the description on the tag, in the form:
edit tag wiki|history|excerpt history
A search engine supports that the page is 1st ranked (in a subject area that is admittedly very specific - 'small pond'). E.G. Google on "jnlp demos"/"jnlp api demo".
The first point especially, removes many of my concerns about adding the link.
I will not mark this thread closed for at least another 24 hours, to allow time for any counter points to filter through. ..Said as if marking an answer 'correct' would actually stop anybody from making further comment. ;)
Edit 2: JNLP Wiki tag edited to add link to the JNLP API demos. I also took the opportunity to define the Java Web Start Wiki entry (also with one link to the JaNeLA tool at my site) and significantly expand the Applet Wiki entry.
Now all that is required is for newbies to:
- Notice the Wiki entry pop-up links.
- Follow the links to them, as well as the related links.
- Read the information contained therein, try the demos. etc.
- Understand what they are reading and seeing.
Getting that to happen, should be a breeze. ;)

it seems like a painting...wow
soooo beautiful

Aquele que olha de perto para a lei perfeita que pertence à liberdade e quepersiste nisso, . . . será feliz em fazê-la. — Tia. 1:25.
A palavra grega original traduzida 'olhar de perto' significa "abaixar-se para ver bem", o que implica esforço concentrado. Se queremos que a lei da liberdade afete nossa mente e coração, temos de estudar a Bíblia com diligência e meditar com oração no que lemos. (1 Tim. 4:15) Ao mesmo tempo, temos de 'persistir', ou perseverar, em aplicar a Palavra de Deus, fazendo da verdade o nosso modo de vida. Jesus disse algo semelhante para alguns que criam nele: "Se permanecerdes na minha palavra, sois realmente meus discípulos, e conhecereis a verdade, e a verdade vos libertará." (João 8:31, 32) Nós conhecemos a verdade no pleno sentido quando fazemos dela o nosso modo de vida. Nesse caso, podemos dizer com razão que 'a palavra de Deus opera' em nós, moldando nossa personalidade para refletirmos melhor o nosso Pai celestial. — 1 Tes. 2:13. w12 15/7 1:10, 11

awesome, i am into photography, because it captures life as is when i love to paint it, swiftly
the photo makes me envious and realize i am a dismal failure in photography, but i can
paint, that is transfer it on paper just as good
Very nice..
This is so beautiful....
How perfectly elegant!
OMG!! Congratulations!!
Stunning photograph - so glad you were there to get it.
great pic
The egret inspired the arts of Chinese dynasties and Japanese cultures for enormous periods of time. The bird was venerated for longevity and beauty. One cannot dispute such admiration! It is wonderful.
This is an absolutely beautiful shot.
its hard to believe that its a Photograph not a Painting.. Great Capture..
The dream of every photographer. Wonderful!
elegance photo!!!!i love !!!
from National Geographic
Great Capture.
Beautiful shot!
thanks all for the comments
@Howard Williams I thought National Geographic doesn't let New Jersians participate in "Your Shot". Contest is void in New Jersey, according to the fine print, along with Cuba, North Korea, Iran, Sudan, Syria, and Quebec.

Tonight, Anna Wintour and Marc Jacobs visited Late Night to promote "Fashion's Night Out." The best parts of the interview, however, had to do with Lady Gaga's pre-performance prayer ritual (much to Wintour's chagrin) and Jacobs' morphine drip. Highlights inside.
Side note/observation: hasn't Jacobs been in rehab for an addiction to heroin before? If so, then—assuming he wasn't being facetious—why would he so willingly admit to accepting a morphine drip, surgery or no surgery? As Page Six would say... just asking!

How this came to pass, I'll never know... but I saw this movie in the theater.
Aww man. Missing Rodney Dangerfield now. So hilarious.
Id totally buy a Rodney Dangerfield Boxed Set.

I was an extra in the movie. They filmed it in Madison WI when I went to school there. My claim to fame-:)
Very funny film!

Is there any way to find out if a patent application is connected to results from a hackathon? For example, it has been said that DropBox, Inc. filed two patent applications (password strength meter, two party authentication process) based on the results from an company-wide hackathon. I am trying to find out if any other companies have similar results from hackathons.
Well, you could look at companies that you know hold hackathons, search through only their patents, and then maybe search for patents with a high number of inventors, or something like that. But you'd probably still be left with a lot to hand-parse. I think your better bet would be to ask the companies directly.
