I have read that Rabbi Avraham Yosef (the son of Rav Ovadiah Yosef) paskened that a Baal Teshuva in Israel should adopt the Sephardic Minhag, regardless of family history, as their immediate ancestors did not provide a Mesorah and the named Minhag is the one dominant in and traditional to the region. Does any one know of a counter-ruling on this issue? Is there an analogous ruling on appropriate BT Minhag in America?

R' Dovid Cohen (in Monsey, NY), who is a particular expert in areas of halacha concerning ba'alei teshuvah, rules that a ba'al teshuva (whose parents aren't observant and therefore has no minhag avot) may choose from among the accepted minhagim. I used this psak to choose Sepharadi minhagim, but one could just as easily use this psak to choose Ashkenazi, Chassidic or Yemenite minhagim.
The Rabanim Yosef's psak is based on the Halacha that once an authority has been established in any region that authority becomes the "Mara D'Atra" (the regional authority). All those living in, or joining, this area are then required to follow the Halachic rulings (psak) of that authority.
The question then becomes is there a Mara D'Atra in Israel, and if so who would that be. The Rabanim Yosef chose the Beit Yosef (Rav Yosef Karo) and they have good reasons for that (beyond the shared name).
When one follows the Beit Yosef he is considered to be following the Sefardi psak. Other rabbis, Sefradi rabbis included, have given different decrees, but are still "Sefardim".
I know of a Chasidishe Rav in Antwerp that told a Baal Teshuva to adopt the Chasidishe Minhagim. I think it would be a more interesting Pesak if it came from an opposing side (A Sefardi rav saying "adopt Ashkenazi Minhag" and a Ashkenazi Rav saying "adopt Sefardi Minhag").
I don't think there is one specific set of minhagim that one must absolutely adopt. However, a person should not pick and chose minhagim according to his or her liking. Taking on a specific way of understanding halachah and jewish practice should not be taken lightly. If a b't knows his/her family history it makes it much easier to decide which minhagim to take on. on the other hand if not then best to ask your mentor/teacher or rav on specific decisions.

Hello to all,
While sprucing up my knowledge of group (co)homology,I stumbled onto the following question: The first step you usually take to compute various (co)homologies is to construct the infamous "bar resolution" which resolves $\mathbb{Z}$ by free $\mathbb{Z}[G]$-modules (I'll assume everyone knows which one I mean).
Now, in the case of the (co)homology of cyclic groups, one creates a 2-periodic resolution by splicing together certain exact sequences involving the norm element of $\mathbb{Z}[G]$. I was wondering if it was possible to distill this 2-periodic resolution somehow out of the standard bar-resolution above in some natural way ? In the case of $\mathbb{Z}_2$, this is quite trivial, but the higher cases are a mystery to me!
Thank you and merry Fields day

Why book with us?
Sylvette and Pascal Lebeau have long been admirers and collectors of contemporary art. Now, they have found the perfect exhibition space for their modern collection. The hallways, lounges and 36 rooms and suites act as a transient gallery, offering changing exhibitions in conjunction with the nearby Galerie Albane. Original paintings, photographs, and sculptures from renowned international artists offer visitors a place to absorb culture. While surrounded by France's largest yacht marina, guests can amble through the Old Town, feast on the freshest seafood, or sail and surf in the Atlantic Ocean. The historic building has been given a makeover with decor that is audacious and lively. Relax by the roaring fire in the bar and tearoom, or indulge at the ultramodern spa. Within easy reach of La Rochelle's convention centers, and boasting a state-of-the-art meeting room, La Monnaie Art & Spa Hotel is an inspiring destination that is simultaneously soothing and stimulating.
A new type of exhibition
Housed in a building that dates back to 1656, La Monnaie Art & Spa Hotel's interior combines history with contemporary furniture, decor and modern art. The pieces on display include paintings, photographs and sculptures from the owners Sylvette and Pascal Lebeau's collection. Exhibitions change regularly, but one can expect to find works by artists such as Hélène Jousse, Nicolas Benedetti and Liz Bono. Architect and interior designer Philippe Lucazeau has managed to maintain the atmosphere of the ancient 17th century house, while lightening the tone with a spirited and daring aesthetic.
Interior Design
Bright, fresh accents
Iconic furniture and a color palette of smooth whites and soft grays are kept fresh with bright accent features. Throughout the public spaces the whitewashed historic stonewalls are contrasted by lively swatches of sky blue and grassy green. These are set alongside more classic elements, such as black leather chairs, glass chandeliers and bold black and white striped wallpaper.
Made by Originals
Sylvette Lebeau
After 23 years devoted to education, Sylvette Lebeau gave up her career as a schoolteacher and, together with her lawyer husband, indulged in her dream: to acquire a classic ornate building, rich in story and legend, and renovate it with the trappings of modernity. La Monnaie Art & Spa Hotel, nestled in the heart of the Atlantic seafront, offers La Rochelle its first authentic four-star. With a passionate appreciation for art and design, Lebeau's aspiration was to create a hotel for all visitors of the majestic antiquity of La Rochelle, combining the atmosphere of an ancient 17th-century house with striking modern artwork. An added attraction is the down-to-earth and infectious enthusiasm of Lebeau herself.

I want to use
foreach to loop through two variables at the same time, in Tikz. I'd like to go through the variable
\y from 0 to 7. At the same time, I'd like to go through
\yy from 0 to 14, by increments of 2. I'd like to know how to do this without writing out the entire list.
For example, the following code works:
\foreach \y / \yy in {0/0, 1/2, 2/4, 3/6, 4/8, 5/10, 6/12, 7/14}
\node at (0,\y) {\y -- \yy};
But I can't seem to get this code to work:
\foreach \y / \yy in {0/0, 1/2, ..., 7/14}
\node at (0,\y) {\y -- \yy};
I'm planning on using LOTS of loops like this, so I'm really trying to figure out how to get a double loop with the dots to work. Any suggestions?

KILLEEN (January 17, 2013)-A Killeen man pleaded guilty Thursday in Waco's federal court to possession with intent to distribute methamphetamine.
U.S. District Judge Walter S. Smith, Jr., set Eric Diggs for sentencing on March 13.
In an affidavit filed by arresting officers that was presented in court Thursday, investigators said Diggs had been under surveillance as part of a drug investigation by the Bell County Organized Crime Unit and on Oct. 4, 2012, was arrested after a traffic stop.
During a search of his vehicle officers discovered seven grams of a substance that later tested positive for methamphetamine.
Diggs agreed to participate with police in a sting operation to implicate his supplier, Brandon Daggs.
An operation organized some time later resulted in Daggs' arrest and he subsequently pleaded guilty to similar charges and is awaiting sentencing.

Since upgrading top 12.04, neither rhythmbox nor banshee can detect any of the songs on my iPhone3. Neither can sync with the iPhone either. Banshee just says "preparing to sync" for ever. Rhythmbox claims that there isn't enough room for the files (even if I only try to sync a playlist consisting of 1 file). Does anyone know why this is happening / how to fix it?
I've not yet attempted a sync with banshee or rhythmbox. However, out of the box, a clean install of 12.04 (x64) on a Dell XPS L502x with both Banshee and Rhythmbox produced the following results when connecting an iPhone4 via USB:
Side note: I'm finding that Banshee is now very resource hungry on this release. On 11.04 it was the better music player (especially if you had an apple device (prior to iphone 4).
Go to the panel of complements of Rhythmbox and deactivate the "Apple support plugin", then disconect your iPhone and reconnect it.
Have you tried Spotify? I'm using it to sync music with my iphone (iOS 5).

A U.S. military veteran lost in World War II is being returned to his family after being gone for nearly seven decades.
The remains of Second Lt. Verne L. Gibb, U.S. Army Air Forces, have been identified and he will be buried with full military honors Wednesday at Fort Leavenworth National Cemetery, according to a news release from the Defense Prisoner of War/Missing Personnel Office in Arlington, Va.
Gibb, from Topeka, was a 22-year-old pilot of a C-47B Skytrain aircraft on a "routine" cargo flight from Myitkyina, Burma to Chabua, India on Oct. 23, 1945.
Three crew members and two passengers were also on the flight.
"The weather along the route was unfavorable and the aircraft was never seen again," the release states.
More than 60 aerial search missions were flown to recover the crew and passengers, but the crash site was never located.
All six men were declared dead.
However, Gibb's remains were found, though it was a lengthy process before they were turned over to U.S. officials.
A Burmese national reportedly found Gibb's remains 30 years ago and gave them to a local priest, the POW/Missing Personnel Office states. The priest gave the remains to an American school teacher in 2002.
The remains were then turned over to the U.S. Defense Attaché in Rangoon, Burma, and next to the Joint POW/MIA Accounting Command.
Scientists used "circumstantial" evidence and forensic tools such as mitochondrial DNA to match the remains with Gibb's sister's DNA.
Cemetery Director William Owensby said Wednesday's service will begin at 10:30 a.m. at the interment shelter, and is open to the public.
Gibb has a daughter in the Kansas City, Kan., area. Family members have not been available for comment about their late relative.
"This is still very hard on them," Owensby said.
There are 23,625 burial sites at Fort Leavenworth National Cemetery, Owensby said.
More than 15 million Americans served in World War II, and more than 400,000 died.
Of that figure, the remains of more than 73,000 servicemen have never been recovered.
"Keeping the Promise,' 'Fulfill their Trust,' and 'No one left behind' are several of many mottos that refer to the efforts of the Department of Defense to recover those who became missing while serving our nation," according to the POW/Missing Personnel Office website.
"Hundreds of Defense Department men and women … are working in organizations around the world as part of DoD's personnel recovery and personnel accounting communities.
"They are all dedicated to the single mission of finding and bringing our missing personnel home."

FieldLabel.setStyleName causes the corresponding widget to be misaligned
I have a FieldLabel and I want to set the style to be bold. However, when I call setStyleName, the corresponding widget gets moved down a line so it isn't aligned with the field label:
So this code:
FieldLabel name = new FieldLabel();
TextField nameFld = new TextField();
nameFld.setEmptyText(""Enter your name...");
Looks like this:
Doing things such as:
name.setStyleName("boldText", true)
keeps the alignment, but it results in the style not getting recognized and displays in plain text.
Has anyone seen this or figured out a workaround? If I set the style to something different, such as changing the color to red, the addStyleName works - for some reason it just doesn't like the text to be bold.
8 Nov 2012 12:24 PM #2
How is your boldText css style defined? Have you tried addStylename instead?
I suspect setStyleName is *replacing* the existing styles instead of adding a new one, so you are removing the styles that the FieldLabel needs to function correctly.
We could make this harder to break by adding an extra wrapper around the FieldLabel dom contents, but that would make the dom unnecessarily bigger.
8 Nov 2012 1:04 PM #3
boldText is defined as:
boldText {font-size: 11px; font-weight: bold}
I ended up creating my own wrapper around FieldLabel with new attributes called labelStyle and labelText, and then when it gets rendered, I do a:
super.setHTML("" + labelText + "");

US-based Celanese struck a deal with Japan's Mitsui & Co. to build a new methanol production unit at Celanese's integrated chemicals complex in Clear Lake, Texas.
US-based Celanese and Japan-based Mitsui
have established a 50:50 joint venture for the production
of methanol at Celanese's integrated chemical plant in Clear
Lake, Texas, the companies said Wednesday.
Clear Lake is located about 30 miles southeast of Houston.
The planned methanol unit will utilize abundant,
low-cost natural gas in the US Gulf Coast region as a feedstock and will benefit from the
existing infrastructure at Celanese's Clear Lake
facility, officials said.
As a result, the total shared capital and expense investment in
the facility is estimated to be approximately $800 million.
Celanese's portion of the investment is estimated to be
approximately $300 million, in addition to previously-invested
assets at the Celanese Clear Lake facility.
"We are excited to expand our Clear Lake operations to include
the strategic upstream production of methanol," said Mark
Rohr, CEO of Celanese. The attractive economics of natural
gas in the US Gulf Coast region, combined with our existing
infrastructure and an outstanding strategic partner in Mitsui,
provides Celanese with this unique growth opportunity."
The planned methanol facility will have an annual
capacity of 1.3 million tons and is expected to begin
operations in mid-2015.
"We are very pleased to have Celanese as a strategic joint
venture partner for the US methanol project," said Masami Iijima,
CEO of Mitsui.
"Mitsui will be able to generate additional value in the gas
product chain starting from our shale gas reserve we possess in
the US to methanol with Celanese's capabilities
in manufacturing, operations and safety," he added. "This
partnership should be long-term and be expanded towards further
joint projects in the future."
All comments are subject to editorial review.

Maher Louis, PE, PEng
This plant produces methanol out of natural gas. Natural gas has a higher heat of combustion than methanol. That is this plant is degrading the value of natural gas.I do not blame Celanese as this is a complete trend to convert natural gas to methanol, by reacting natural gas with water (steam). Before this we have destroyed completely the value of coal by referring to the level of ignorance and mental tardiness, when we reacted coal with water (steam) producing water gas. Water gas has the same deficiency of having a lower heat of combustion than coal. The appropriate process is to react coal with natural gas to produce ethylene gas: C + CH4 = C2H4, ethylene gas sells at $1200/ton, while today coal sells at less than $100/ton, and natural gas sells at $170/ton. These prices discrepancies provide a material proof that there is something going wrong??? Reacting a fuel (coal, or natural gas) with water (steam) destroys the value fuel.

I was at Celanese when the first Lugri process methanol plant was built there in the early 1970's, and was part of the utilities commissioning group for all the process units including the methanol plant.I have about fourty + years in mechanical, operational ,engineering FEED,utility,and construction commissioning and start up , in the refinery,chemical, offshore,power, water and waste water, up stream oil and gas and mining processing industries.I am avalable for construction management, inspection,commissioning and start up, and turnover package compiling when the project gets started, for the right compensation package. Either as a 1099 or 1040 hire.Thank YouH D Pearson918 774 6518
For production of Methanol from Natural Gas, the first step is conversion of NG to Syngas. For conversion of Natural Gas to Synthesis Gas (Syngas) you may go for MIDREX Reformer. MIDREX reformer is most energy efficient when compare with all the available reformer processes. MIDREX is a US based company owned by KOBE STEELYou may consider my candidature for this project(syngas loop from concept to commissioning & Performance gaurante test)

Engineers and designers are highly skilled individuals. Forcing them to enter design changes using tables, forms and spreadsheets is unproductive and uneconomical, and it increases the likelihood of human error—this is the way that most instrumentation software systems currently work. For too long, software vendors have denied engineers and designers the simple practicality of a graphical visual engineering interface with "drag and drop" capability and inbuilt intelligence, ensuring changes are automatically replicated into all the associated data and databases.

As you may or may not have noticed, you are no longer able to do this in FM10.
I've got no idea why, it could have stopped working or it could have just been deemed pointless.
But I know I used it when changing my name on FM to arsenal_2111 for screenshots, and I've seen some people using it to put 'Sir' at the start of their names.
Would you like the ability to do this again in future versions?

Do you know natural examples of triangulated categories (or [presentable] stable $\infty$-categories) which are not compactly generated? (ideally they'd be defined algebraically, but curious to hear any examples.. the ones I know are gotten as opposites of compactly generated categories or by slightly ad hoc geometric constructions)
As David says, D(R) is compactly generated. This means Brown representability for COHOMOLOGY is automatically true, but that does NOT mean Brown representability for HOMOLOGY is true, and in fact it is not always true. That is what the Christensen-Keller-Neeman example shows.
Let K(R) be the category of chain complexes over R and chain homotopy classes of chain maps. Then K(Z) is not compactly generated (and K(R) is not either for many R). This is proved in a paper of mine with Christensen.
Not from modular representation theory, but the following seems like a geometrically natural example:
Neeman has a nice note where he shows that the only compact object, in the derived category of sheaves of abelian groups on a non-compact, connected, positive-dimensional manifold, is the zero object.
One example is the following - suppose that $M$ is a non-compact connected manifold of dimension $\geq 1$. Then the unbounded derived category of chain complexes of sheaves of abelian groups on $M$ has no compact objects other than zero. It is, however, well generated. This can be found in Neeman's paper "On the Derived Category of Sheaves on a Manifold".
Another example is suppose that $R$ is the ring $k\oplus V$ where $k$ is a field, $V$ is an infinite dimensional vector space and the ring structure is the unique one making $V$ a square zero ideal. Then the category $K(Proj\; R)$, the homotopy category of complexes of projective $R$-modules is not compactly generated. Again though it is well generated (even $\aleph_1$-compactly generated). In general this category need not be compactly generated if $R^{op}$ is not coherent.
One could also produce more examples along these lines I imagine by considering for instance the homotopy category of flat modules over a suitable ring.
These last two examples are very natural objects to study - I can provide more details on why if anyone is interested.
These are the most naturally occurring examples I know of off the top of my head.
I'll try and think of a modular representation example if I can although when I think about these things it is normally the stable category for modular reps of a finite group and these are always compactly generated.
Funny, we were just discussing this at dinner last night. Anyways, see Corollary B.13 of Morava K-theories and localization by Hovey and Strickland for some stable presentable ∞-categories with no nonzero compact (they call them small) objects, hence not compactly generated. One example is the H$\mathbb{F}_p$-local category. Also see my question here for related discussion.
I would like to know whether there are any examples which are H$\mathbb{Q}$-enriched (modules over H$\mathbb{Q}$-mod). I think there should be, but I don't know exactly how to write one down.

(January 4, 2013)—West Texas was digging out Friday after a winter storm that dumped several inches of snow on the region, but the storm fizzled before it reached Central Texas.
A winter weather advisory issued for western counties of Central Texas was cancelled Friday morning and while some snow was reported in the region, the winter storm was mostly a non-event.
Snow did fall Friday morning in Mills and Hamilton County, but caused no problems for motorists.
Some light sleet was reported in Bosque County.
Light rain was falling across much of the rest of the region and another area of rain was moving into the area Friday afternoon.
Openings were delayed because of the weather Friday at El Paso City Hall and the University of Texas at El Paso.
The Texas Department of Transportation reopened Interstate 10 Friday afternoon after snow and ice closed the highway down Thursday from Fort Hancock to Van Horn.
U.S. 62-180 remained closed Friday afternoon from El Paso to the New Mexico border.
El Paso received as much as 4 inches of snow, and 4 to 8 inches was reported in the West Texas mountains and foothills, the National Weather Service said.
Anywhere from a trace to 6 inches of snow was reported in the rest of West Texas.
A warm-up is in store for Central Texas over the weekend.
Saturday and Sunday should be mostly sunny with overnight lows in the 30s and afternoon highs in the 50s.
Temperatures should rise to near 60 on Monday.
A chance of rain is in the forecast for Tuesday and Wednesday, but Thursday should be mostly sunny with highs around 60.

Arthritis Health Center
Biologics for Ankylosing Spondylitis
|Generic Name
|Brand Name
How It Works
Biologics block harmful responses from the body's immune system that lead to the symptoms of ankylosing spondylitis.
Why It Is Used
Biologics are used to treat pain and inflammation in people who have active ankylosing spondylitis. They are usually used after other medicines such as nonsteroidal anti-inflammatory drugs (NSAIDs) have been tried.
How Well It Works
Biologics may improve symptoms of ankylosing spondylitis, such as morning stiffness and pain. These medicines might allow a person to be more active.1, 2 You may feel better in 6 to 12 weeks after starting this medicine. If one of these medicines does not work, you might find relief with another.
Side Effects
All medicines have side effects. But many people don't feel the side effects, or they are able to deal with them. Ask your pharmacist about the side effects of each medicine you take. Side effects are also listed in the information that comes with your medicine.
Here are some important things to think about:
- Usually the benefits of the medicine are more important than any minor side effects.
- Side effects may go away after you take the medicine for a while.
- If side effects still bother you and you wonder if you should keep taking the medicine, call your doctor. He or she may be able to lower your dose or change your medicine. Do not suddenly quit taking your medicine unless your doctor tells you to.
Call 911or other emergency services right away if you have:
- Trouble breathing.
- Swelling of your face, lips, tongue, or throat.
Call your doctor right away if you have:
- Hives.
- Signs of illness or infection, such as chills, cough, or fever.
- Chest pain or tightness.
- A rash on your head, face, or belly.
- Belly pain or fullness.
- Lower back or side pain, especially with painful urination.
Common side effects of this medicine include:
- Stomach pain, nausea, and vomiting.
- Painful throat.
- Redness, itching, or swelling at the injection site.
- Skin problems, such as bleeding, blistering, or crusting.
See Drug Reference for a full list of side effects. (Drug Reference is not available in all systems.)
What To Think About
Because biologics interfere with the immune system, it's possible that they may raise your risk for infection, anemia, and possibly even cancer. Medicines that suppress the immune system are not usually given to people who have impaired immune systems. If you take biologic drugs, you may have periodic tests for tuberculosis.
Warnings have been issued about the serious side effects of biologics. The U.S. Food and Drug Administration (FDA) and the drug's manufacturers have warned about:
- An increased risk of a serious infection. Biologics affect the body's ability to fight all infections. So if you get a fever, cold, or the flu while you are taking this medicine, let your doctor know right away.
- An increased risk of blood or nervous system disorders. Call your doctor if you have symptoms of blood disorders (such as bruising or bleeding) or symptoms of nervous system problems (such as numbness, weakness, tingling, or vision problems).
- An increased risk of lymphoma (a type of blood cancer) in children and adolescents who take this medicine for longer than 2½ years (30 months). Adults, children, and adolescents who take this medicine also have a higher risk for leukemia and other cancers.
- An increased risk of liver injuries. Call your doctor if your skin starts to look yellow, if you are very tired, or if you have a fever or dark brown urine.
- An increased risk of psoriasis.
Taking medicine
Medicine is one of the many tools your doctor has to treat a health problem. Taking medicine as your doctor suggests will improve your health and may prevent future problems. If you don't take your medicines properly, you may be putting your health (and perhaps your life) at risk.
There are many reasons why people have trouble taking their medicine. But in most cases, there is something you can do. For suggestions on how to work around common problems, see the topic Taking Medicines as Prescribed.
Advice for women
If you are pregnant, breast-feeding, or planning to get pregnant, do not use any medicines unless your doctor tells you to. Some medicines can harm your baby. This includes prescription and over-the-counter medicines, vitamins, herbs, and supplements. And make sure that all your doctors know that you are pregnant, breast-feeding, or planning to get pregnant.
Follow-up care is a key part of your treatment and safety. Be sure to make and go to all appointments, and call your doctor if you are having problems. It's also a good idea to know your test results and keep a list of the medicines you take.

The Top 10 Desks
Designers David Scott and Mariette Himes Gomez evaluate these hardworking modern-day essentials that get the job done with real style
With letter writing and filing giving way to e-mail and online billing, the home desk has been shedding paper weight. But it still plays a key role in today's hectic lives, serving as a place to reorganize and recharge—literally and figuratively.
"A desk is a home base," says decorator Mariette Himes Gomez, who considers a workstation to be essential, whether in a study or a corner of a studio apartment. And furniture design has kept up as technology slims down. "You need less storage in a desk than before," she says. "Instead of a big block of mahogany, you can now have gorgeous legs."
Nonetheless, practical details, such as drawers, can be just as important as elegant lines. "A desk is not just a pretty table," says designer David Scott. "It has a job to do." Sometimes more than one, he adds: It can serve as a dining surface or a buffet, or stand in for a bedside table. "Some people use their laptops in bed," he says, "but there's a creative process that happens when you sit at a desk."

I am not particularly a fan of boarding a plane with bus that drives you from the terminal building to the airplane. I know that most low cost airlines use busses for boarding. So then I could appreciate the discomfort of a bus. When booking a flight, knowing whether or not I board through a jet bridge, would be a factor in choosing which airline to fly. Is there a way to know this at the time of booking?
Also it is more likely to get a jet bridge when traveling with the local airline. Say you are leaving Stockholm for some obscure Balkan city. You will always get a jet bridge at arlanda so don't travel with SAS in that case. Use the Balkan airline that is more likey to get to use one of the two jet bridges at it's hypothetical home airport.
The use of buses v's jet bridges will depend significantly upon the airport, and the type of plane.
Many airports do not use buses at all. eg, San Francisco airport does not use buses, only jet bridges.
Some airport only use buses for specific types of flights, often involving smaller planes. eg, Sydney airport uses jet bridges for all large planes, but will occasionally use buses for smaller jets/prop planes when they are parked too far from the terminal to allow people to safely walk across the tarmac.
Other airports can use buses for basically any flights. eg, Frankfurt airport uses a mixture of jet bridges and buses for all aircraft. The same flight might use a jet bridge one day, and a bus the next day, with no apparently pattern - even for flights as large as 747's.
There's not going to be a specific list available for which airports/flights use buses, but if you've got a specific airport in mind then you should be able to use Google to find reports of people saying they boarded by bus which will at least give you an idea if buses are or are not used at that airport.
Personally, having used buses to board at numerous airports, I really wouldn't consider it a sizable factor in choosing between one airline/airport and another. Unless you're traveling in First/Business class (in which case many airlines will run a separate bus or even use cars to get you to the plane), then the few minutes of being on a bus to get to the plane isn't going to be a significant part of sitting on an airplane for X hours during the flight.
I doubt there is an official resource where you can find this out.
Just from my own experience, I would say you can never be totally sure to get a jet bridge, the only available one may be broken!
In general, the bigger the plane, the higher the chances to board it through a jet bridge. You can usually find out the aircraft model when booking a flight.
Models for which I would expect a jet bridge:
Airbus A300, A310, A330, A340, A380, Boeing 747,757,767,777,787, MD11 L-1011,Ilyushin IL-86, IL-96
smaller ones where it is possible you wont get one:
Airbus A318, A319,A320,A321, Boeing 737, MD83 and many other small ones.
Wikipedia has a list of airliners by maximum takeoff weight.
It may also be possible that the airport does not have jet bridges.
For example, a year and a half ago I flew to Moscow from Zagreb with Aeroflot and since there is no jet bridge in Zagreb, we boarded the plane by bus and it was an Airbus A320. The flight back was boarded via jet bridge at Sheremetyevo, the same plane model. But the thing is that the gate number for our flight changed 5 hours before the departure and we would've used the bus if we boarded through the original gate that was on the ticket. Of course, Aeroflot employee phoned us to let us know about the change.
The only thing I can think of that you could try is to find out your gate number for a flight and then check airport plans to see whether that gate has a jet terminal or not.
P.S. I agree with Peter that it usually has to do with a plane model.

There's some seriously entertaining racing going on at the Track World Cup, which is coming to a close today. I wish I could have made it up to Manchester to catch some of this racing, but alas I'm watching it on the telly, from the comfort of the couch instead. It's quite a buzz to see so many top Team GB cyclists performing on a world stage at a Velodrome I've spent many evenings at. I've been lucky enough to meet a few of the GB squad and indeed interview some of them for various projects, and I can't help feeling extreamly patriotic towards our star British cyclists.
Yesterday Chris Hoy (below) again won the Men's Keirin final, pulling ahead by a few bike lengths with a lap and a half to go. But the real drama unfolded behind him, where all 5 other riders crashed heavily, and the race was on for silver and bronze – the bruised and battered riders limping over the finish line, with their bikes.
New Zealand's Edward Dawkins shuffled over the line in second, before collapsing. A medic asks him "Where do you hurt?" and feared Dawkins had head trauma as he answered "I'm from New Zealand". The medic asks again "No, where do you hurt?" he answers "I heard you mate. I'm from New Zealand. We don't feel pain"
But without a doubt the gutsiest show of strength had to be from Azizulhasni Awang from Malasia, who got back on his bike and rolled across the line for the bronze medal, having sustained about the most horrific track injury I've ever seen – a 'splinter' of wood (more like a steak) from the track impaled his left leg, straight through his calf.
Holy crap, that looks painful. This happened yesterday, and apparently they left it in overnight so they could remove it in surgery today. Mmm let's have a closer look…
Yep, that's just nasty.
Update on the crash and Awang's condition:
Anyway, I'm looking forward to seeing Vicky Pendleton pull her finger out in 4 weeks time for the Track Championship in Apeldoorn, Netherlands.

"You'll still be able to keep your plans tonight," promised facialist Akiko. We were sure she was wrong when we saw her secret weapon: fine-point tweezers to flick extracted blackheads from our nose. But three hours later we were in a bar so cramped that the guy we were chatting up could have counted our pores. If we still had any.
Los Angeles: Facials
By appointment
Arcona Studio
Chanel Jenae
425 Broadway, Santa Monica
Since an apple a day keeps the doctor away, we hoped a fruity treatment would heal our skin ailments too. Jenae rubbed on a white-tea-and-pineapple cleanser followed by a fruit-enzyme peel. Next, she dabbed on a cranberry toner made with rice milk before smoothing a seaweed cream into our skin and applying a hydrating wine mask. The finishing touch: a mint-scented vitamin B serum. Our skin was as soft as a peach—and Jenae gave us a whole crop of Arcona samples.
Belle Visage
Tina K.
13207 Ventura Blvd.
The feel: There's a tranquil water fountain in an otherwise clinical space.
The experience: The signature Diamond K facial involves a metal spatula and rough diamond paste. It sounded intense but felt like a kitten licking our face. No pain or redness.
Bottom line: Our sun spots were nearly (improbably) invisible. $225 and up (our bill: $362).
Beverly Hills
Mihaela Corcoz: Lightly smooths on serums before gently pinching out blackheads for a luminous complexion. $120 and up.
Mihaela Corcoz: The 30-year veteran spreads on wax with smooth efficiency and removes it with speed and total control for an ideal, even shape. Bikini wax, $40 and up.
W Los Angeles, 930 Hilgard Ave.
After explaining that this anti-aging treatment did not involve extractions, our aesthetician could have painted our face with laundry detergent and we wouldn't have minded. Thankfully, the facial's secret ingredient was less revolting: mushrooms. While the fungi peel tingled with dead-cell-devouring enzymes, our aesthetician massaged our neck, shoulders, head, and hands. Next, she molded a tissue-fine collagen mask onto our face, and gave our feet reflexology. An application of a serum containing vitamin A, wrinkle-reducing peptides, and a brightening multifruit complex were the mind-blowing finishing touches. Our skin looked so radiant and clear we barely recognized ourselves in the locker-room mirror.
Brad Biophotonic Skin Care
Brad Hunter
8318 ½ W. 3rd St.
Beverly Hills
Eastside hipsters cross La Cienega just to see Beasse.
Brigitte Beasse: Attentive and charmingly French, Beasse massages clients' faces for the full, unwinding 90 minutes. After using a Clarisonic brush, she applies a firming vitamin C mask and NuFace microcurrent to massage in peptide serum. Afterwards, skin is so velvety and clear, her visitors can skip foundation for a week. Facial, $185 and up.
Carasoin Day Spa & Clinic
Lena Bratschi
120 N. Robertson Blvd.
The scoop: "My face looks like baby skin when I leave," says stylist Cher Coulter of the stem-cell facial.
Charlotte-James Facial Care Clinic
Charlotte Bornstein
A nurse for 20 years before she became a paramedical aesthetician, Bornstein does facials at dermatologist James Sternberg's office (her clients include Blythe Danner). The cucumber cream cleanser and mild exfoliating scrub were fine, but we winced when she went after our whiteheads with a lancet and extracting tool. Then came a lymphatic-drainage massage, a eucalyptus mask, and an anti-inflammatory cream, which soothed our skin (and nerves). Next time, though, we'll park anywhere but in the building's garage—the $12 bill left us steaming.
Charlotte-James Facial Care Clinic
Milla Kitt
The last time we had this much seaweed near our face, we were dining at Nobu. But sushi can't turn back the hands of time like Kitt's Four-Layer Seaweed Facial. After cleaning and exfoliating our skin, Kitt spread on a seaweed serum and used an ultrasonic wand over it, which she said would prompt better absorption. Next, she slathered on a seaweed-infused cream and mask, and followed those with a mineral-rich marine mask. The result: silky skin that an hour earlier had been bumpy and blemished. Not even the best hand roll can leave us that satisfied.

So if i do an endurance with every setting EXCEPT Waves get tougher faster, having a Yellow/Lime/Orange (Orange squished) Gem with a damage minimum of around 120 million (Usually grade 22 around 353'000 minimum with a 340x damage multiplier). With this gem i can just send all waves and be done. I could probably even go a little lower as monsters die almost as they spawn
So i tried putting waves get tougher faster on, got a grade 26 gem with 1.3 Billion damage (1'521'118, 886x Multiplier). Sent all waves, got absolutely smashed around wave 190. What kind of gem would i need to reach to actually finish a Full settings Endurance?

KILLEEN (December)--Local doctors and EMS say not enough mothers are utilizing the "Baby Moses Law" and other resources offered to parents to keep them and unwanted newborn babies safe.
"It's so sad because there really are some much-better options for a mother who's having a baby who's desperate and alone," said Dr. Joseph Danna of Seton Medical Center.
Dr. Danna is talking about the several options for mothers like the one police are looking for after a newborn baby girl was found dead in a Wal-Mart bathroom FridayDi in Killeen.
While an autopsy has been ordered to find out how the baby died, police are still looking for the mother, who may be in need of immediate medical attention.
"She's set herself up for secondary infection that could resolve to overwhelming infection putting her life at risk," said Dr. Danna.
"There's bleeding, there's infection, there's long term consequences if she doesn't get appropriate post-delivery care."
Dr. Danna said yesterday's incident is one of the most devastating things he's ever heard in his 30+ years as an emergency room physician, and what's more devastating, he said, is it could have all been prevented.
There's a Texas law that provides a responsible alternative to mothers who might otherwise abandon, harm or murder a newborn child, known as the "Baby Moses Law" (Texas Family Code, Chapter 262, Sub Chapter D).
It states that a parent may leave an unharmed infant, up to 60 days old, at any hospital or fire station with no questions asked.
"If you have the baby, and you leave the baby, you're looking at child abandonment," Dr. Danna said.
"If you bring the baby to the hospital, you're looking at having a safe delivery, safe for you, safe for the baby, in the presence of people who will understand that and not make any judgment."
Lt. Tim Rabroker of Killeen Fire-EMS said the situation would have had a positive outcome had the mother brought the child to a fire station, one of the designated safe locations as part of the "Baby Moses Law."
"If she would have brought the child here, best case scenario she could have just told us the child is more than she could have handled," Lt. Rabroker said.
"We would have rendered aid to the child and make sure it had the care that it needed, transported the mother and the child to the hospital so they could get long-term care, and there would have been nothing held against the mother."

Cancer Vaccines
For information about this topic, please click here
S. Jack Wei, MD
The Abramson Cancer Center of the University of Pennsylvania
Last Modified: July 2, 2004
What is a cancer vaccine?
Cancer vaccines are designed to teach the immune system to attack and destroy cancer cells. Normally, when foreign cells enter the body (for example, when an infection occurs), the immune system responds to the invasion and clears the body of the foreign cells. Unlike infectious cells, cancer cells are not recognized as foreign by the body. Instead, the immune system thinks the cancer cells are part of the normal body and do not mount an immune response against the cancer. Cancer vaccines allow the immune system to recognize cancer cells as foreign and, therefore, get the immune system to attack the cancer cells.
How do non-cancer vaccines work?
Most commonly, vaccines are used to prevent infections. By introducing inactivated or killed forms of a virus or bacteria to the immune system before an infection actually occurs, the immune system is "primed" to recognize potential infections. Antibodies that are specific for the vaccine are increased in the body and allow for a very rapid response to potential infections by the viruses or bacteria associated with that vaccine. In this way, actual infections can be quickly recognized by the immune system and eliminated before a significant infection can take hold.
How are cancer vaccines different from vaccines that prevent infections?
Therapeutic cancer vaccines are not designed to prevent cancer. Instead, they are designed to spur the immune system into recognizing tumor cells as foreign invaders so that they may be destroyed by the host immune system. Tumor cells often express distinct antigens known as tumor-associated antigens (TAAs). One of the greatest problems with developing cancer vaccines has been that most TAAs are also present in normal cells. Because the immune system sees these antigens as self-antigens, no immune response is mounted. If the immune system can be taught to recognize the TAAs as foreign, an immune response can be mounted against the tumor. Several TAAs have been identified that are found in specific types of cancers, but not in normal cells. By targeting these TAAs with cancer vaccines, cancer vaccines can induce the immune system to attack cancer cells while leaving normal, healthy cells largely intact. Currently, cancer vaccines targeting cancers of the breast, prostate, liver, kidney, pancreas, and lung, as well as melanoma and certain types of leukemias and lymphomas are in clinical trials.
Are there any vaccines that prevent cancer?
Some cancers are known to be associated with viral infections. Infection with human papilloma virus has been shown to be a cause of cervical cancer. Hepatitis B and C viruses are known to cause a certain type of liver cancer. Vaccines that prevent infection from these viruses would help to prevent their associated cancers. 1 While these vaccines may ultimately prevent cancer, these are not cancer vaccines. These vaccines are actually vaccines against viruses, rather than cancer itself. Prevention of cancer is merely a consequence of the prevention of the viral infection.

I have lost the tripod mounting ring for my Canon 70-200mm f/2.8 IS USM. It is very expensive to replace it with an original one [about £140.00 as of May 2012]. I have noticed that there exist compatible third-party rings. Will they hold my very heavy lens securely on a tripod?
Tough to answer authoritatively because of the wide range of quality from various vendors. I can only give my own experience: I've been using a third-party (eBay/no-name) tripod ring for my 70-200 f/2.8 (NON-IS) for a number of years (I believe this is size 'B' which is slightly smaller than what's needed for the 70-200 2.8 IS).
It seems reasonably sturdy and I've never doubted its ability to hold my lens securely. I have not noticed any externally-visible defects (cracks, etc.), though I do inspect it each time before using, just in case.
One thing it lacks that the original Canon rings include is the alignment markings, which is occasionally an annoyance. The fit was also a tiny bit loose, which I supplemented with some stick-on felt on the inside of the ring. These will probably vary from vendor to vendor.

Florentine East West Zip Sac
Select Color
Product Actions
Style# 8L997
- Description
Print Supple Florentine leather has the look and feel of fine saddlery and, like saddle leather, it develops a rich patina over time. This hobo is one of the original Dooney & Bourke handbags. Inspired by our New England roots, it's simple and sporty, perfect for when you're out and about the town.
- Details
Print H 8" x W 5.5" x L 13.5" One inside zip pocket. Two inside pockets. Cell phone pocket. Inside key hook. Three outside zip pockets. Lined. Strap drop length 10".Measurement Guide
- Care & Cleaning
Print Florentine leather has not been specifically treated for water repellency. Thus, the leather will temporarily darken when wet, and return to the original tone once completely dry. The waxed surface may assist in staving off some dirt.
With continued use, a lovely shine or patina will develop, only enhancing the beauty of this leather. It is also characteristic for lighter colors to darken with use over time, and with exposure to light.
Minor abrasions may be removed or lessened with the use of a very soft cloth and a gentle buffing action.
This collection requires no creams, polishes or leather conditioning products to maintain its beauty.

I was reading about Power Naps for Productivity and to quote a few words: "Studies show that 20 minutes of sleep in the afternoon provides more rest than 20 minutes more sleep in the morning."
I tried using this technique but:
I had a difficult time getting up. The alarm would ring and the snoozing would get me an hours sleep.
I would actually start yearning for the bed again and my productivity would dip.
Am I doing something wrong or is this a false fad?

Limit of 4
OMG, I am so addicted to the wasabi soy, limit of 4, why god, why!!!!!
@dreamyvelvet: Thanks, I did not see that there was a limit.
Buy 4 and add a bag of pistachios ($5.99) and get free shipping :)
dangit, I wasn't even hungry until I saw this...
$7.99 in store.
In for 3 salt/roast, 2 was/soy, 1 sea salt.
If there is an online special you can usually print it out and they will honor it at the store.
@theoneill555: I was trying to order more than 4 to get the free ship ^^ Great price, though, and definitely in for 4!
I've said this before, I'll repeat myself here.
Walgreens will not see any of my money until pharmacist Jeremy Hovin has his job back.
If you've forgotten the story, take a moment & refresh your memory.
Can you still order the pistachios (another dealsWoot deal) at a discount to bring it up to free shipping? They were 4.99 as well, a few days ago.
Ordered a bunch and got the free shipping. Good deal!
I could only get 2 bags of Pistachios so got 2 Almonds. The P's were 5.49 with someplace to put a code in to 4.99 which I didn't see but for the extra buck I got the free shipping. I checked at the local store and they are 7.99.
