Southington-Cheshire: Big game could produce big crowd
The Apple Valley Classic could get one of the biggest crowds in its 17-year history Thanksgiving morning when host Southington (9-0) takes on Cheshire (6-3) at 10:30 a.m.
Southington will unveil its artificial turf, be shooting for an undefeated regular season and look to maintain its top billing in the CIAC Class LL playoff race.
Cheshire, winners of five straight holiday games and holder of a 9-7 edge in the series, needs a win to possibly grab the eighth and final spot in the playoff chase.
"The past few days, we've had a steady stream of people buying tickets," said Southington athletic director Eric Swallow. "We are anticipating good weather and the new facility, along with our success, should draw (more) people."
In past years, the game drew between 3,500 and 4,500 fans.
"We have that potential to draw even more," added Swallow.
Cheshire athletic director Steve Trifone said that there have been a real good number of people buying tickets and anticipates a huge crowd.
All tickets are $8 at the gate on game-day.
Ticket sales at both schools today will be $7 for adults and $5 for students and senior citizens.

6 Artists Whose Weird Fetishes Defined Pop Culture
It doesn't take a cinema genius to catch that most of Martin Scorsese's movies feature violent sociopaths. And you don't need to be a horror/geography wunderkind to notice that every Stephen King book is about an unexplainable evil being evil in New England. Those trademarks are part of the reason we like the work of those guys.
But what's really interesting are the artists who have been flaunting their bizarre fixations in our faces for years but have never been called out on them. Until now ...
#6. Joss Whedon Clearly Has a Foot Fetish
If geek fandom was a high school, Whedon would be its resident golden boy jock. Some might consider him an asshole, but he does have a lot going for him, like Buffy, Firefly and Dr. Horrible. And now, he's even directing the Avengers movie, which in this metaphor is like scoring with the school's entire cheerleading squad. At once.
The secret trademark:
It's definitely a creepy foot fetish.
When you really think about it, it's not that often that you see bare feet on the little screen. Unless you're watching a Joss Whedon joint, in which case there seems to be all sorts of opportunities for his lady and gentleman stars to shuck footwear. Like in the space western Firefly, where society has apparently abolished all shoes other than the sandal:
To be fair, most of these do belong to Summer Glau's character, River, who was supposed to be the show's psychic warrior dancer of sorts (you know how all dancers hate shoes). Besides, how do we explain the fact that Whedon's most famous series, Buffy the Vampire Slayer, is virtually feet free? Easy. He was just saving it all for Buffy's spin-off series, Angel, particularly with (but not limited to) Amy Acker's character, Fred, who never met a floor surface her feet didn't like:
But don't go thinking that just because we saw only women flashing their toes, Whedon's supposed hard-on for feminism is bullshit. Perish the thought! Nothing gets Whedon hotter than gender equality, and that's why his next series, Dollhouse, even featured barefoot guys! (Among the dozen or so women constantly running around with no shoes on.)
Man, feminism is easy!
#5. Stanley Kubrick Has a Thing for Bathrooms
Here at Cracked we've already talked in great detail about the hidden messages in Stanley Kubrick's movies, everything from the oppression of Native Americans to Freemasonry to faking the moon landing. So you might be wondering, is there really anything surprising left to say about Kubrick's filmography?
What else can we say about such glorious codpieces?
The secret trademark:
Bathrooms. For real, bathrooms.
Stanley Kubrick, ladies and gentlemen.
Let's get right to it: Almost every major Stanley Kubrick movie includes a pivotal scene that takes place in a bathroom or toilet. We'll go through them chronologically, but be warned, you will never look at these movies the same way again. And before somebody jumps into the comments and says, "He made lots of movies! You could probably do this with any room in the house!" we say, try it. Go through and collect all of the big scenes that take place in, say, kitchens, and see if you come up with anything like this list:
Dr. Strangelove (1964) -- The insane general Jack D. Ripper orders a nuclear attack on the USSR that can be called off with a code only he knows. To not give up the code, Ripper shoots himself in the bathroom.
2001: A Space Odyssey (1968) -- During the movie's finale, the protagonist David Bowman gets mysteriously transported to a strange apartment somewhere in outer space. One of the first things he does is inspect the bathroom.
And it's gorgeous!
A Clockwork Orange (1971) -- Alex (Malcolm McDowell) is staying in the house of the man whose wife he and his friends raped earlier in the film. The man finally recognizes Alex after he starts singing in the tub.
The Shining (1980) -- Bathrooms galore. It's where we first see the psychic kid use his powers, where the ghosts tell Jack to murder his family, even where the famous "Here's Johnny!" scene takes place.
Full Metal Jacket (1987) -- The first half of the movie (i.e. the only part you remember) ends with the insane Private Pyle killing the foulmouthed drill sergeant and committing suicide in the unit's toilet.
Eyes Wide Shut (1999) -- Near the middle of the movie, Tom Cruise finds himself in trouble after crashing a ritual sex orgy but is then saved by a mysterious woman. It later turns out that they actually had met at the beginning of the film, when Cruise helped her after a drug overdose ... in the bathroom.
Of course, we don't have to tell you that the roundness of the toilet seats and the yellowness of urine are clearly hidden representations of the Masonic sun symbol. Anyone can see that.
#4. Alan Moore Loves Woman/Monster Sex
It's pretty much an established fact that comic book artists and writers use their medium to explore their own weirdass sexual fantasies (as we'll see), but leave it to Alan Moore to take it to the next level. And really, what else would we expect from a guy who seriously believes he's a magician and used to write under the pseudonym Translucia Baboon? Hard nut to crack, that.
Via Wikipedia Commons
Holy shit, somebody gave Rasputin a comic book.
The secret trademark:
Moore likes his young, hot heroines having sex with grotesque monstrosities. Moore likes that a lot.
The first pairing that probably comes to mind for most of us is Silk Spectre and Dr. Manhattan in Watchmen. Silk Spectre is just a regular person, and Dr. Manhattan is a blue ... reconstructed ... quantum superhuman god ... thing, and clearly not the same species as Silk Spectre. Still, they get it on:
"Two of you? Oh NOW it's just weird!"
Surprisingly, that little bit of awkward sandwich was actually left in the movie. Usually, movies based on Moore's comics cut out all the weird sex scenes, presumably so the audience doesn't collectively throw up popcorn all over the theater. So non-comic-book geeks might be surprised to learn just how much wrinkly/bizarre dick action they missed out on. Like in The League of Extraordinary Gentlemen, unlike the movie, the roughly 70-year-old Allan Quatermain actually gets to hook up with Mina Harker, the visually 20-something victim of Dracula.
And just to make sure we're all very clear on how far he can take things, Moore done upped the sick ante to a jillion with Lost Girls. It's kind of like Lost Boys, except instead of featuring a teen vampire gang, it's the story of an elderly woman (Alice from Alice in Wonderland) who takes on two younger female lovers (Dorothy from The Wizard of Oz and Wendy from Peter Pan). So ... pretty close.
Goodbye, what was left of our childhoods.
A more straightforward example comes from Moore's Promethea, which allegedly explains the author's beliefs about magic. Apparently in order to learn it, you have to bang a wrinkly septuagenarian sorcerer, which is what Sophie, the book's protagonist, ends up doing. Yeah, that's exactly where we thought Moore was going with the whole "magician" shtick.
But all of the above pales in comparison with Vol. 2 of Moore's Swamp Thing where the titular character (a sentient, animated piece of swamp) has sex with the human character Abby. OK, maybe "sex" isn't the right word here, but until someone comes up with a shorter version of "a sexual acid trip after eating psychedelic vegetation growing on a monster," that's what we'll go with.

Modern human beings, especially women, cut their armpit hair. It seems to me the armpit hair is trivial/useless. Shortly speaking, what is the armpit hair for?
I have been trying to read up a bit on this. I started out looking on wikipedia and it seems there are three hypotheses which are not necessarily mutually exclusive.
1.Aid the wicking of sweat away from the skin
2.Reduce friction between the thorax and upper arm
3.Facilitate the release of sex pheromones
The first would seem possible because it would help to prevent over-heating of the lymph nodes under the armpits and that also fits with the fact there are a lot of sweat glands there.
The second, I can't find any citations which support this but I understand that people who shave their armpits tend to suffer from dry underarms. This could be a result of increased friction.
The third is apparently controversial although it seems perfectly reasonable and highly likely to me. There is a famous experiment by Claus Wedekind who got men to wear a t-shirt for a few days. He then got women to choose a most preferred male purely by the scent of the t-shirt and found interesting results relating to the MHC profiles. The armpit hair could help to trap the odour produced by the sweat and help with mate attraction, like some kind of scent sponge. I don't understand why this is so controversial, loads of animals influence mate choice with scent - perhaps people don't like to think we are genetically attracted to each other by sweat because it seems animalistic and less romantic.
In summary, there is no sure answer and it could well be all of the above, or something entirely different.
It's not proper to think of evolution in teleological (purpose-driven) terms--armpit hair is probably a trait that was never eliminated because it is not harmful to the species, rather than a useful trait that was specifically "selected for".
Microbiome manipulation is a common theme in these answers/comments, and there are experimental methodologies for investigating such things. For example: "Topographical and Temporal Diversity of the Human Skin Microbiome" at http://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pmc/articles/PMC2805064.
One selection pressure that hasn't been mentioned is the reduction of harmful bacteria that occurs when providing a growth advantage to more benign bacteria. Many hairy areas are those where bacteria in general can live and prosper. Various ways hair could impact the microbioime are are easily imagined, for example greatly increased surface area should favor aerobic vs anaerobic bacteria. More specific host-bacteria interaction, e.g. specific bacteria being selected for due to the presence of certain hair surface proteins or the microstructure of the hairs surface might be harder to investigate. How hair surface varies in different location might be informative.
The explanation I heard from the documentary called "Curiosity: World's Dirtiest Man" is that armpit hairs allows for the growth of microbes which allow for the production of smell. This smell is useful for the attraction of mates in primates (although this function is probably lost in humans as our society became more hygienic).

When I'm on a public Wi-Fi network and my photos are being synced to Photo Stream, is there any way for someone on the same network to be able to see them? What about anyone else on the way to Apple's servers?
Yes, everything sent to or from iCloud is encrypted with SSL:
It's not clear which parts are encrypted and which aren't. The connection to Amazon AWS is unencrypted.
Apple documentation says that all Photo Stream content is encrypted. Yet while using wireshark to fix my privatizing web proxy's Photo Stream connection, I observed that iPhoto's connection to Photo Stream via Amazon AWS is unencrypted over port 80. Here's the packet capture that shows the unencrypted header, request ID, access key, signature, and so forth:
The content is "application/octet-stream" and I was not able to identify as gzipped or any other content -- I presume that its encrypted, but I am unable to determine this. Does anyone know what this is? Anyone know which encryption protocol Apple uses for Photo Stream? Or why Photo Stream is communicating with Amazon AWS over port 80?

KeKe Palmer is pivoting.
The 18-year-old impressed critics – both age appropriate ones and the ones who have the power to cast votes in the big, glitzy award shows—from the first time we saw her on screen going head-to-head with Queen Latifah in Barbershop 2. Since then, she's won us over in Akeelah and the Bee, and became the Nickelodeon 'It Girl' with a hit series True Jackson VP.
Her most recent film was a collaboration with Nick Cannon—Nickelodeon film Rags, which premiered Memorial Day—and later this summer we'll hear her voice in animated powerhouse series Ice Age: Continental Drift.
But before that film drops, she's hoping fans hear her voice over the airwaves. Finally, after a few start ups and pushbacks, Palmer will release new music. In June, she'll release a mixtape, and she's filming two music videos to go along with it.
EBONY.com talks with Palmer about acting, music and heading off to college.
EBONY: What made you want to say yes to this Nickelodeon film?
KeKe Palmer: Nick Cannon came to me and approached me about coming on as a producer and helping to develop the script more … that was what really sealed the deal for me. I wanted to produce.
EBONY: What did you learn about the art of filmmaking that you didn't before producing this project?
KP: I always knew that there was a lot to it, but actually being a producer let me know about how respectful a shot can be, and how much you have to deal with and all that goes on the line. You're not just thinking about what you have to do, you're making sure that everybody else around you is doing what they're supposed to do. I learned, that the job of a producer can be very stressful!
EBONY: And I would imagine that any project where you get to do music is something that probably is always going to get put to the yes pile quicker?
KP: Exactly. Cause I love to sing and I love to dance.
EBONY: I always ask you this when we talk, any plans for a full-length album coming from you soon or what's up with that?
KP: Not an album, but a mixtape. I'm actually filming my first video on the ninth and then the second on the 10th, and then I'm going to put the first single out from the mixtape and then we're going to radio, so I'm very excited.
EBONY: What's Keke's style, musically? When we see you sing in films, you're playing a character. So who are you on record?
KP: Musically, I don't know. I'm a mash-up of everyone. My influences would be Michael Jackson, Brandy, Aaliyah—those types of people. So if you can imagine them—and with me taking them, and then putting my own twist and the influence on it—that's musically what I would sound like. It sounds good, but I can't really, exactly put my finger on it, but in the genre of a perfect mix between R&B and pop. Maybe a little more R&B than pop, but right in the middle.
EBONY: You once mentioned that at 18 you'd like to go off to Howard University and pledge a sorority and live the college life. Is that still in the works? Or has that taken a backseat now?
KP: Definitely. But to think about college right now would just make my head blow up because of how nerve wracking that would be. How much anxiety that would cause me to have? It's just really difficult, you know. It's difficult to be in college, period, without anything to do but focus on college. Could you imagine having a job and having to travel everywhere while trying to do your work and stay in the moment? It's just very difficult, and I think that it would be too much for me right now. So now I'm waiting for college.
EBONY: Your life is pretty much a fairy tale right now, kind of poignant given that this new Nickelodeon film is a new-age fairy tale. What would the name of your fairy tale be?
KP: That's a good question right there. Thumbelina. Because she's so small in a big world, and that's kind of what my life would be. Even more so in the beginning of my career. I was this little kid that came in where everybody had their own little clique, and I was like young black girl who didn't get the role. I finally got my chance with Akeelah and the Bee.
EBONY: What's next for you? What do you have on deck? A new installation of Ice Age is coming out this summer …
KP: Yes! Ice Age comes out July 18. I'm very excited about that just because, you know, it's Ice Age! Just to be a part of Ice Age, that whole brand and that franchise is an honor and I'm excited; I can't wait for everybody

Everybody knows that well-documented software development leads to success. However, it usually means that not only plain text but also binary content will be involved in the document, such as a UML diagram. And I've heard many people say that. The version control system is not the appropriate place for the binary files. I totally understand and agree with the issue. I asked several seasoned developers where the best place to store documents should be and the answer I got was "wiki". Wiki is good but I considered another potential issue. How can the source code which has been stored in a version control system connect to its related document in wiki? Let's say someone clones the repository of git or mercurial. How can he/she find the document easily? Or have I just missed something?
I know some wiki systems have the ability to integrate with source control systems. But my concern is not about the ability of integration. If you have cloned source code from a git repository and after a while you get on a train and want to continue to work offline on the train (which is a big feature of DVCS). Then you suddenly realize you don't have any access to document since you are working offline on the train. On the other hand, if the document was stored in git repository you would have access to the document with repository cloned.

"When we got to looking at the sinkhole we found other sinkholes that had other debris in them and we had a larger pile that actually had trash from 1978 in it," says Reagan.
BOWLING GREEN, Ky. (WBKO) - Old brick, appliances and even a frame to a truck were all uncovered at a lot near the Ivan Downs subdivision. While it may be appalling to see trash in the ground, years ago many were unaware of the consequences.
"It wasn't uncommon 30 or 40 years ago for someone to knock a house down and actually bury it on site. A lot of people would just let one fall down and push it up and burn it. Or course that is not the thing to do anymore," says Environmental Coordinator Stan Reagan
Plenty of manpower and machinery were brought in to clear debris. Enough debris was found to fill a dumpster.
The initiative is part of the Warren County Clean-Up. Reagan says each site brings a new challenge.
"When we got to looking at the sinkhole we found other sinkholes that had other debris in them and we had a larger pile that actually had trash from 1978 in it," says Reagan.
Just a few years ago the lot being cleaned off Elrod Road was all farm land, but officials say as the building boom continues more and more dump sites similar to that are being uncovered.
"I looked just yesterday and we have 48 projects on our books to be worked on this summer with more coming in everyday," says Robert Elrod from the Warren County Stormwater Management Office.
Tuesday's project was clearing the lot to make way for a water basin.
"It's to prevent flooding. A basin in designed to take water and we want to try and keep the basin open to where it does indeed take water into the ground to the ground water system," says Elrod.
The Warren County Stormwater Management Office says water basins are required at sub-divisions. The removal of trash and debris on Tuesday will ensure clean water for the future.

Jae C. Hong/Associated Press
LONDON � It�s go time for the U.S. Olympic men�s basketball team. It�s gold time.
The challenging exhibition schedule is over, marching in the opening ceremony already is a memory, and the Olympic flame is burning brightly.
�We�re ready,� said coach Mike Krzyzewski.
They�d better be. Don�t expect any opponents asking for photographs or autographs � there are teams here that feel they can beat the Americans.
Although heavily favored to win the 12-nation tournament and capture gold just as they did four years ago in Beijing, the superstar-studded U.S. squad will face a talented field loaded with NBA players.
On Sunday, the U.S. opens pool play against France, an experienced squad led by San Antonio guard Tony Parker, who nearly missed the London Games because of a serious eye injury. Parker�s ability to break down defenses and create in the open floor could pose an early problem for the Americans. And he�s not the only headache for the U.S. as France�s roster includes Ronny Turiaf, Boris Diaw, Nicolas Batum, Kevin Seraphin and Nando de Colo � all currently on NBA rosters.
�It�s a big test for us,� U.S. forward Carmelo Anthony said, lacing up his sneakers Saturday before practice at East London University. �We�re going up against guys that we normally play on a night-to-night basis, and those countries have put them all together just like we have. And at the end of the day their main goal is to beat the United States.
�There�s going to be some good battles.�
France only will be the first. This isn�t going to be some easy sightseeing stroll along the Thames for the American team before stepping onto the gold-medal stand. Spain, Argentina and Brazil all are talented enough to not only compete with the U.S., but potentially upset the world�s No. 1 team.
That wasn�t the case four years ago, when the U.S. steamrolled through the field, winning by at least 20 points in each of its first seven games before beating Spain 118-107 in the final. Krzyzewski, who guided the 2008 �Redeem Team� to gold, believes a potential road to gold could have some dangerous bumps.
�The overall 12 teams are more talented, more seasoned,� he said. �Spain is just in the prime of their � 28, 29 (years of age). Brazil is in that wheelhouse. I think Russia�s really, really good. Obviously Argentina, everyone says they�re older, but their heart and talent has not gotten older, It�s just gotten better.
�There�s just more teams that feel that they have a chance to win the gold medal � and medal � than they did in �08.�
Count the French among them. They finished second to Spain at last year�s European Championships and maintain they won�t be intimidated by the U.S. team�s collection of All-Stars, MVPs and household names. France�s players have no intention of being posterized on a dunk by LeBron James or Kobe Bryant the way 7-2 countryman Frederic Weis was famously embarrassed by a soaring Vince Carter in the 2000 Sydney Games.
France, 0-4 against the U.S. in Olympic competition, isn�t frightened.
�For us there is no fear factor because we play against them all the time,� said Parker, who will wear goggles to protect his surgically repaired left eye. �We know they are really, really good. But it�s not going to be like the other teams where they don�t see them and it�s like, �Oh, wow, I�m playing against Kobe and LeBron.��
Bryant likened France�s offense to the one Parker runs with the Spurs. Everything starts with the ball in Parker�s hands, so the U.S. team�s challenge will be to make him give it up.
�Slow him down and surround him,� Bryant said. �Keep bodies in front of him at all times.�
This U.S. team, comprised of five holdovers from the �08 squad, five from the 2010 world championship team and two newcomers, was loose and relaxed before Saturday�s workout, a final tune-up before beginning the five-game preliminary round. Durant and Anthony playfully horsed around in the foul lane and Bryant smiled amusingly as photographers jockeyed for position like paparazzi trying to record his every move.
The mood will be decidedly different Sunday.
That�s when everything change. That�s when it matters.
�Everybody expects us to win gold,� James said. �And that�s what we�re here for. Nothing else.�
In recent days, Bryant, James and the other U.S. players have been careful not to get trapped into making comparisons to the Dream Team. Bryant recently caused a stir by saying the 2012 Olympians could beat the 1992 version that included Michael Jordan, Magic Johnson and Larry Bird.
Jordan called Bryant�s comments �not one of the smarter things he ever could have done.�
For now, the talk has quieted, the comparisons can wait. For this American team to be regarded among the others before them, there can only be one medal.
�The legacy will be determined if you win the gold or you don�t,� Krzyzewski said. �We�re not talking about legacy everyday, but it is. We�re here to win a gold medal, and if we do less than that, then it will be a big loss for us.�

5 Things Every Movie Gets Wrong About the Apocalypse
Hollywood seems pretty confident that at some point humanity will find itself at the mercy of a world-resetting apocalypse. Over the years, movies have provided us with a complete visual library of survival guides covering each and every possible scenario, from the plausible (the world is enslaved by sentient robot overlords) to the ludicrous (the world is poisoned by angry trees, because for some reason M. Night Shyamalan gets to keep making movies).
Unfortunately, Hollywood will leave you ill-prepared, because it has managed to completely overlook several key aspects of life on post-apocalyptic Earth. For example ...
#5. No, Everyone Won't Immediately Turn into Crazy Assholes
Brendan Hoffman/Getty Images News/Getty Images
According to Hollywood ...
Pretty much every zombie franchise from Night of the Living Dead on has taught us that humans are the real monsters in an apocalypse -- most survivors will be psychopaths who are more dangerous than the undead. The Road tells us that even the good guy isn't necessarily a "good guy" when he's doing what he thinks is necessary to survive, and that literally everyone else is a rapist or a cannibal or both. War of the Worlds showed us that Tom Cruise isn't afraid to beat Tim Robbins to death to keep his daughter safe.
Jeff J Mitchell/Getty Images Entertainment/Getty Images
World War Z showed us that Brad Pitt can run like Tom Cruise.
The lesson is always the same: When society breaks down, the remaining humans treat the world as a nonstop cannibalistic rape festival.
But Actually ...
Ask yourself this: If humans naturally become murderous sociopaths in the absence of modern society, then how did modern society ever form in the first place?

"Man, I am so bored, there's nothing to do ... oh, wait, I got it: civilization."
"Dude, brilliant."
The whole freaking reason we have a civilization for the zombies to destroy is because humans are naturally cooperative. You don't need to take our word for it -- studies performed by researchers at Harvard and Yale found that our basic human nature dictates an overwhelming need to cooperate with other humans, even if said cooperation results in some measure of harm to ourselves. Biologists say the same thing. Despite what the self-checkout line at Harris Teeter may have led you to believe, humans actually give a decent-sized shit about one another.
In recent regional crises like Atlanta's blizzard-induced traffic gridlock and Hurricane Sandy, examples of basic human kindness weren't difficult to find. When serious tragedy hits a community, most people's first impulse is to see what they can to do help their neighbors, rather than to carry all of their canned food into the basement and start loading their shotguns. It's not even because we're nice guys -- it's because instinctively we know that we might need that person down the road. So even if some worldwide crisis were to transform us all into selfish mutants, the theory of reciprocal altruism suggests that we'd probably still be willing to share that can of beanie weenies if it meant we could get something in return later, even if that something is just "an extra person I can feed to the zombies to make my getaway."

It is not advisable to offer yourself as zombie fodder in return for a future favor.
That's the biggest thing missing from a show like The Walking Dead or a movie like The Road: commerce. They shouldn't have to scavenge in vacant houses for food or medicine; somebody should be going camp to camp selling that shit in exchange for bullets, sex, protection, or whatever. Hell, even monkeys can figure that out.
#4. The Apocalypse Itself Is the Least of Your Problems
George Doyle/Stockbyte/Getty
According to Hollywood ...
Every apocalypse movie can be boiled down to this:
"Almost everyone has been killed by ______, so now some survivors must fight the _______ and maybe the other survivors who turned out to be assholes."
And nobody will shoot the annoying kid.
And that's the same whether the blank is filled in by zombies, robots, or inclement weather. The number one cause of death in The Walking Dead universe is getting eaten by a zombie, and the number two cause of death is getting murdered by a psychopath. Those who survive are the ones who best learn to adapt to those threats.
Lesson 1: Quit fucking wandering off on your own.
But Actually ...
Some apocalypse stories involve diseases wiping everyone out (like Contagion or Stephen King's The Stand), but in reality, that would be every apocalypse.
Think of it this way: In the Civil War, only 1 out of every 3 deaths was caused by getting shot or blown apart by a cannon. The rest were caused by disease. Today, 85 percent of American military medical evacuations from the Middle East are the result of non-battle injuries and disease. In other words, the moment you remove someone from everyday health care and hygiene, you find out that sickness and infections are the real apocalypse. So, for millions upon millions of people, the crisis would be "I can't treat my chronic, debilitating illness anymore," not "My zombie neighbor Chad is trying to eat me again."

"A moderately sturdy door! Our one weakness!"
For example, about 20 million Americans have diabetes and require medication to control it, not to mention another 7 million or so who haven't been diagnosed. Around 3 million have Type 1, which means they need insulin shots every single day to live. What the hell are they supposed to do once Godzilla tramples their local health care provider into radioactive dust? What about the 26 million who have asthma?
It gets worse. Close to half a million Americans require dialysis on a weekly basis. There'll be around 1.6 million new cancer patients in 2014 alone (that's new cancer patients, in addition to the countless millions already coping with some form of the disease). How about the 12.7 million people with COPD, a serious respiratory illness, or the scores of people awaiting an organ transplant? Or the 1.5 million living in nursing homes? Or the people being treated for serious psychological disorders?

To say nothing of the rampant, untreated IBS.
Conquering the robotic zombie monsoon isn't going to make much of a difference to them when they aren't going to live through the week regardless of what happens. In the Walking Dead universe, it should be fairly rare to run into someone who actually lost their whole family to zombie bites -- the far more common story would be "The zombies overran Walgreens and Mom couldn't get her pills refilled."
#3. Gasoline Goes Bad (Quickly)
Jupiterimages/Stockbyte/Getty Images
According to Hollywood ...
One of the cool things about the post-apocalypse is being able to tear around the countryside in a kickass vehicle with big-ass guns strapped to it, like the human resistance in the Terminator movies:
Orion Pictures
Even the apocalypse can't escape having an insipid vehicle section.
Or in The Road Warrior, which takes place in a universe where muscle cars are more important than food or pants. Even drowning the Earth in seawater, dinosaur fish, and Kevin Costner's terrible acting in Waterworld didn't do much to lessen the remaining population's dependence on the bubbling crude, with the bad guys zipping around on Jet Skis.
Sure, all of these take place several decades in the future, but you figure there's enough gasoline sitting around in storage tanks and such that the reduced population can happily go around ramping shit with abandon. And don't they make a point of fighting over the dwindling supplies?
Andy Reynolds/Photodisc/Getty
"They have a single gas can! Bring in the fleet of heavily armored SUVs!"
But Actually ...
Finding some gasoline a decade after the apocalypse would be no more helpful than finding an old jug of milk. Both go bad over time, and at least you can make cheese or something with the latter.
While you might conceivably spend the first several months after the apocalypse riding your motorcycle through the smoldering remains of civilization, it won't long before cars (and anything else with an internal combustion engine) are reduced to nothing more than potential hiding spots from patrolling maniacs. Gasoline is a highly refined product, and that means it degrades over time. The more volatile elements gradually evaporate, and the gasoline begins to oxidize, which is another way of saying that any car, boat, or plane left with gas sitting in it through the apocalypse will rust from the inside out in relatively short order.
sanjagrujic/iStock/Getty Images
"But then what will go kaboom? WHAT WILL GENERATE OUR EARTH-SHATTERING KABOOMS?!"
Your best bet is to keep a stockpile of gas in airtight containers and pump it full of fuel stabilizer, but even then you're only delaying the inevitable, sort of like putting a flower in a vase of water or watching the first two Back to the Future movies. After the first year or two, everyone would be bombing around on roller skates and bicycles, which admittedly would've changed the entire tone of The Road Warrior.

Im having problems with scrolling in sharepoint site. I am fairly new to Sharepoint and have taken over the UX responsibilities for a site. The problem that Im having is that the scrollbar does not reach the bottom of the Site Settings > Site Navigation page. Users are forced to tab down to the bottom and when a user reaches the bottom of the page, the scrolling does no longer reaches the top of the page.
The SharePoint 2010 is build in a "special" way, so the entire design (CSS/HTML) and javascript is dependent on each other for everything to work fluently.
I'm assuming you are using a custom masterpage, since this problem hardly ever occurs when using the default v4.master.
The structure of your masterpage after the ribbon should always contain the following DIVs:
Have these mentioned DIVs containing each other in that order and scroll should go from top to bottom.
It sounds like a CSS/HTML bug. If it's only showing on that one page, it could be a CSS margin issue. Without a screenshot and/or snippets of the applicable CSS/HTML it'd be pretty difficult for anyone to assist you.
I've noticed problems before when using Google Chrome with SP2010. The scroll bars would only show up sporatically. Oftentimes it could be "fixed" by just refreshing the page.
Does this sound like what you're seeing as well?

The Dinner Tab Debacle of 2013
"Yes, I am," he replied. "It's you."
I sent the following email to Glenn in an effort to shed light on the previous night's event. It is important to note that A) I had already been on two dates with my little holiday fling and this had never taken place before. B) He lives in Russia and the possibility I will never see him again is high. C) I am Latin, and sometimes this makes things a little tricky when you're also a feminist. D) My dog had been vomiting all day and I was stressed and then I had to take him to the vet to shell out a few hundred dollars in hopes we could figure out what was wrong with him.
We didn't.
Now for that email:
Glennie Pooh:
So… He changed his flight to be able to see me. That's one. Two! When I got home, my dog was sick. He'd thrown up all over my bed (5 times), and multiple times on the floor and couch. Blood everywhere. Had to wash everything and dry it. Then clean my room and couch and all the other places he'd vomited. Anyway I had plans to see him around 6:00 p.m. and I had to push it back all the way to 9:30 p.m. He'd already slept over a couple of times before he left on that ten day cruise, so we agreed to go to dinner and then back to my place, then I'd take him to the airport this morning. He's been between Miami and the cruise and Orlando vacationing here with friends for about a month (fuckin' rich kids). The point is!
We go to dinner, right? And he's telling me how they spent like two grand each on the cruise and how he couldn't believe it and blah blah blah. Dinner's swell (that word is so ridiculous but yes, I use it), and then it's time to go home. I'm so tired by this point I cannot even begin to think about having to drive him to the airport the next day before work (mind you, I'm kind of sick, so I'm grumpy as hell). When the bill comes, this CHILD asks me if we can split it. Now… I know you're an American progressive male and you may think this is ok, but to a Cuban woman of thirty (me), this most certainly isn't. Especially when he has lots of money and just spent a gazillion dollars partying it up on a ship somewhere in the Atlantic. I told him, "Yes, I did mind," then I went to the bathroom to do a bit of Woooosaaaaaaaaaaaah breathing exercises because I felt like slapping his beautiful porcelain face.
I came back with a little pasted-on smile and he paid for dinner and we left. Then… I promptly drove on, but instead of to my house, I dropped him back off at his hotel. This poor child was freaking out. Like, "Oh my God why are you being like this and I'm so sorry and this isn't such a big deal and in my country people do this all the time and yada yada." I'm all, "Please just take your bags out of my car," to which he refuses because he's so flustered as he's trying to get me to accept his apology. So in the middle of this wind storm I packed all his bags out while my dress is blowing in the wind and my underwear is probably showing and was all, "It was nice to meet you," leaving him there at his hotel door.
On the upside, at least my poor animal hasn't thrown up anymore. $360 dollars worth of vet bills later… I get home and I have about ten messages from this kid apologizing and it got me thinking… Did I overreact? Because in spite of everything, I don't think I did.
Glenn's Reply:
A few things…
1. This is why I never want to have fucking animals!
2. I didn't know you two already had a.... "relationship" before last night's date.
3. You are correct that as an American male, as a progressive male, as a FEMINIST male, I do not believe in the man treating the woman to dinner as a default option. However, I am also a class warrior and if he has a lot of discretionary income he's spending and he's on vacation, it's not unreasonable to think he is going to pay. SECOND HOWEVER, you, as a modern woman (Cuban or not) should have laid this out to him if it was such a big deal.
4. Was it an overreaction? Who the fuck cares! You don't know this guy. You will (probably) never see him again. AND he's a twenty-two year old child while you are a GROWN ass woman.
5. You're going to be single forever.

Personally, as an olf fashioned Southern genteleman I *always* pay, unless the woman offers. It's just what I think is expected of me, and I haven't had any complaints. Well, no complaints about *that*. I hope your dog is feeling better.

A lifetime ago, I dated a guy who was in his early twenties and I was older. I didn't mind paying my way as he was poor, but I got pretty tired of paying for all the extras too (parking, entry tickets etc)
If he wants to split the bill, perhaps he shold have mentioned it before you got to dinner.
Hope your puppy is ok now

More than often guys will at least attempt to pay the bill for you. Although nowadays young guys will assume you're going to split, feminism and all that. But seeing he's so rich and that he probably was aware of the fact that you weren't, he should have at least offered. That being said, yea you did overreact a little. I'm sure he didn't mean to be rude or insulting, rich Russians tend to hang our with other rich Russians, so splitting is probably a natural thing. He clearly felt really bad, your reaction was a tad on the dramatic side, and as far as it can get of feminism.
Then again, your friend is right, he lives in Russia and is barely a grown-up, it was never going to work out anyway. So not really a huge loss. But perhaps a lesson for the future when a more suitable man wanders by, to think twice before you leave people at the side of a road for something that should be easily resolved by a just talking to each other and calming down.
Glad your dog is doing better though, not pleasant when they're sick like that and you don't know why, especially if it's blood.

- steph gas said...
hmm, this is hard. first, he's got the money and is on vacation. i would have assumed he was paying too. if you had offered to split it, that's one thing. second, you were driving him to the airport at the ass crack of dawn the next morning. i think a nice dinner out is the least he could offer for driving him to the airport. third, men are assholes.
on his side, he's a kid and might not have known better. plus, he's russian. i mean, really annah. don't they do nothing but drink vodka and hide from snowdrifts? (right? isn't that russia?) and at least he just paid up and shut up.
did you overreact by dumping him back at his hotel room? maybe a teensy bit. but honestly when you factor in the shitty day you had, the fact that you'd never see him again, and the fact that he was being a baby - who the hell cares? if he was relationship potential, that probably would have been an overreaction. but for a boy toy from russia? no.

I swear you and I are like sisers from another mister. Over the weekend I met up with a "friend" who I happen to have sex with. Well, he asked me to pay for the hotel room where we were staying for the day, and then, AFTER we had our little rendezvous, he asked me to borrow $225!!!! First - no I didn't pay for the room. He did. Second-wtf? seriously? He's a lawyer for god sakes! He makes bank. Three-WTF??????
Yes I'm still pissed. Yes I feel like an idiot. No I didn't lend him any money. He actually told me I was getting hysterical over nothing. That it was not a big deal. ---We've known each other since we were kids but just recently reconnected. He's 11 years younger than me. ----I told him to go fuck himself and drove home alone.

Unanswered: [BUG] PDF links cause application crash?
Hi all,
Has anyone tried building an app that includes links to PDF's? I've tried using versions 18.104.22.1687 and 220.127.116.113, but both crash when clicking on the link to (seemingly) any PDF document.
A colleague of mine has also replicated this issue, so I suspect it's a generic problem rather than anything specific to my PC.
Does anyone have any ideas...?

Thank you both for reporting this! Can you try opening the PDF links using the Ion.util.openUrl() API method, so PDFs are read using the default browser on the system? Inline PDF reader is not a feature of Desktop Packager, though we can consider it as a feature request(?). Nevertheless, we do not want it to crash!
Here's code you can put into your app to forward your .pdf hyperlinks to Ion.util.openUrl():
document.body.addEventListener('click', function(e) { var t = e.target; if (t.tagName == 'A' && t.href.match(/\.pdf$/)) { e.preventDefault(); Ion.util.openUrl(t.href); } }, true);
22 Feb 2013 1:35 AM #4
Thanks for that. It works as you suggest in the context of the initial document body.
Unfortunately, for the project I'm working on, we really need it working on pages outside of the initial document body, i.e. those that are reached following links to other pages (as well as potentially iframed content).
Any other suggestions, or are we dependent on it being added as a feature?

Yes I do have one suggestion. You can disable cross-document security by specifying the "allowCrossSite" config option, for example:
{ "organizationName": "Sencha", "applicationName": "Area Chart", "versionString": "1.0", "outputPath": "AreaChart", "webAppPath": "src/", "settings": { "remoteDebuggingPort": 9123, "mainWindow": { "autoShow": true }, "security": { "allowCrossSite": true } } }
var f = document.getElementById('frameId'); f.addEventListener('load', function() { f.contentWindow.document.body.addEventListener('click', function(e) { var t = e.target; if (t.tagName == 'A' && t.href.match(/\.pdf$/)) { e.preventDefault(); Ion.util.openUrl(t.href); } }, true); }, false);
Let me know if that workaround suffices. We do have PDF viewing as a ticketed feature request, so hopefully this is a temporary measure. Thanks.

I know that "אבא" and "אמא" are originally Aramaic translations of the Hebrew "אבי" and "אמי" which have become adapted to Hebrew, especially in the accusative case. Are there similar forms in Aramaic corresponding to "חמי" (or is that "חותני"?) or "חמותי"?

This question appears to be off-topic. The users who voted to close gave this specific reason:
The problem becomes resolved when (iy"H) you have children. Then your in-laws become grandparents and you can call them as appropriate in their new role.
Not that I'm aware of. What to call your in-laws is always awkward, and I think the same is true in the Jewish community.
Rabbi Hershel Schachter notes that when he got married, it would be disrespectful to call his mother-in-law by her first name; he tried "Mrs. Stein" (or whatever her name was) but she said that was too formal; they settled on "Mom", I think.
One could use the Yiddish words - Shver or Shvigger.

Read more about reopening questions here.If this question can be reworded to fit the rules in the help center, please edit the question.
You have to do two things.
First you have to be able to serialize your object. The definition, according to MSDN is:
You can find many ways to do this in C# but I would recommend to use the built in binary serialization techniques in .NET. You can start reading up on that here http://msdn.microsoft.com/en-us/library/vstudio/ms233843.aspx
Then you have to make some sort of connection. Between two computers. One way to do this is using sockets. Microsoft has made this quite easy in .NET (although I think in Java it is slightly easier but less flexible). To keep it simple I would suggest using Synchronous Sockets first. Synchronous means that the program 'hangs' until all the data has been received by the other party. See http://msdn.microsoft.com/en-us/library/6xt5x5zw.aspx
If you don't want the program to hang while sending the data you can use Asynchronous Sockets. They are a lot harder to use because you have to explicitly tell the other end how much data to expect and you have to handle the several steps the sending takes. I found the MSDN tutorial on this a bit unclear but you can find them for client and server here and here. I also wrote my own tutorial which you can find here and if you try Google you will see there are a lot more so skim a few and then pick the one that you find explains it best.

At Ball State University, student attendance at class meetings is expected. Faculty shall establish attendance policies for their courses. Such attendance policies must be communicated to students by faculty through course syllabi or outlines.
Absence caused by field trips or activities in which the student is representing Ball State at state, regional, or national events shall be announced in advance to instructors of the other course(s) in which the student is enrolled. A notice will originate in the office of the department chairperson and be brought to the instructor(s) by the student at least three (3) days before the field trip.
All trips should be scheduled after the first week or before the last two weeks of a semester (last two weeks—including the examination period). Exceptions to these periods will be granted only after consultation with and approval by the Provost and Vice President for Academic Affairs and the Vice President for Marketing, Communication and Enrollment Management.
Faculty are expected to allow students to make up all missed course activities during their absence including, but not limited to, class activities, assignments, examinations, and final examinations. Students should not be penalized for their absence while representing the University.

Why is methyl cellulose used as a pharmaceutical excipient? Is it due to certain chemical properties? What are the reasons for relying on the chemical properties of methyl cellulose?
Methyl cellulose is a dry binder. It is used to make a pill with a small mass of active ingredient and as much binder as required to make the pill a manageable size.
The following properties make methyl cellulose a good dry binder:
Most of this information is from the Wikipedia article.
Like cellulose, it is not digestible, not toxic, and not an allergen. Bacteria cannot digest, methyl cellulose, so they cannot grow using MC as carbon source. It is artificially synthesized produced by heating cellulose with NaOH.
It is a filler/binding agent. Thus MC belongs in the context of a drug to the group of so called excipients. The study of the best suitable excipients (as a tradeoff of factors such as cost, and ease of approving the drug) is called galenics.
Methyl cellulose is also present in your toothpaste and some of the foods your eat and in the construction industry. It can be considered to be metabolically inert for humans, but can serve as a matrix for enhancing bacterial adhesion and biofilm formation.
The gradual smudging and staining of your bathroom washbowl may be largely attributable to MC and bacteria.
MC is a polymer that is sold as dry powder of various mean chain lengths. It is hydrophilic and can retain large volumes of water.

The 6 Most Bizarre Ways to Lose Popular Video Games
The Internet is filthy with guides on creative ways to win video games. You don't need Cracked for that. But we've found that developers work just as hard at inventing hilarious and obscure ways for the player to die. That's a good thing, because we've always said that if you can't succeed, at least try to fail in an entertaining way.
#6. Sonic CD -- If You Forget to Pause, Sonic Gets Bored and Kills Himself
Sonic's whole marketing strategy was that he was Mario with attitude. He was as cool and edgy as middle-aged men in suits with 64KB of RAM could make him. He wagged his finger disapprovingly at the camera, wore radical red sneakers, and refused to take his ADHD meds -- if you kept him waiting, he'd impatiently tap his foot (unlike Mario, who just stood there staring ahead, lost in his own private world).
And if you kept Sonic waiting too long in Sonic CD, he broke his self-imposed vow of silence, assaulted the third dimension, and jumped to his death.
Wait, What?
Say for instance you're halfway through Sonic CD and you take a quick breather to get a drink from the fridge but you forget to pause the game. You leave Sonic standing there, idly tapping his foot. There are no enemies on the screen anyway, so what's the worst that could happen?
Sega Corporation
They make you watch a cutscene from the Sonic cartoon?
Well, you'd better get back within three minutes, because if you don't, Sonic will exclaim "I'm outta here" ...
Sega Corporation
"Fuck this. I'm going over to one of those fanfics where I actually have genitalia."
... and jump out of the game to his death.
Sega Corporation
Now you're contemplating suicide.
Then you get the game's terrifying "you fucking lost" music, a warped tune accompanied by distorted laughter, which would be the most traumatizing thing here if your character hadn't just decided to end his life in front of you.
However, there is an extra level of dickery here, because that's Sega's specialty: The game doesn't put you back at your last checkpoint minus one life, like every other death. This one ends your game. As in you go back to the main menu and start from Level 1 with no Chaos Emeralds. What's that? You were on the penultimate level with 47 lives and two continues and you left the game unattended for three minutes? Well, we hope you have fun doing it all again.
Where Nintendo actively encourages you to take a break, Sega cripples you for not playing for 180 seconds. On an unrelated note, Nintendo won that console war.
#5. Harvest Moon DS -- Your Dog Mauls the Mayor to Death
Harvest Moon is a child-friendly farming game. It's essentially a $50 FarmVille, but friends you haven't spoken to in years can't harass you, so it's a fair trade-off. Other advantages over FarmVille include the ability to get married, the ability to have a kid, and the ability to allow your loyal dog to maul someone to death five minutes in, thus ending the game.
Wait, What?
The game starts up as every agricultural simulator should: with two immortal deities locked in an eternal titanic struggle between good and evil. After that misplaced scene from Lost, you leave your house and meet the mayor, who welcomes you into the town and instantly starts criticizing your land.
Marvelous Interactive
C'mon. The land merits only four "ha"s. Five at most.
This doesn't sit well with you, so you use the wittiest comeback you can think of -- driving a scythe through his face:
Marvelous Interactive
The game was made in Tokyo's Russian district.
We're still in the intro, by the way, which at this point is way more entertaining than the actual game. The mayor continually evades your murderous assault until you run out of ammo, because scythes have ammo (it's Japanese). That's when your dog sees the scuffle and attacks the mayor, who begs you to call off the mutt. Now you have two options: "Help" or "Don't help."
Marvelous Interactive
"Giggle madly" is implicit either way.
If you help, the mayor credits your ambush skills (although this was more of a violent assault) and claims that the dog could win some local contests. He doesn't mention what contests, but seeing as the only skill the dog has shown is wanton bloodlust, we can only conclude that it's a highly illegal underground fighting arena.
Alternatively, you can say no:
Marvelous Interactive
"... ssssshooooooole."
Yep, the game fades out as the mayor lets out a blood-curdling scream, damning your soul for all eternity. You just witnessed your dog mauling an innocent man to death because of a fight that you started by trying to ram a scythe through his head. Oh, and like Sonic CD, if you lose this way, the game erases your save. We sure hope you like sitting through that 10-minute god fight again!
#4. Dishonored -- Take a Bath, Doom the Planet
Arkane Studios
Dishonored tells the story of Corvo Attano, a royal bodyguard who is framed for the murder of the queen of a steampunk Victorian England knockoff while the actual murderers take control of the country. His honor thoroughly dissed, Corvo joins the resistance in their hideout in a pub and starts sneaking around behind enemy lines, killing the usurpers to save the nation.
And then, about a third of the way through the game, it ends if you decide to take a bath.
Wait, What?
After every mission, you go back to the pub and talk to the various members of your group, like Havelock the leader, Piero the geeky inventor, and Callista the woman. At one point, you find Piero peering through a lock, spying on Callista, who is having a bath. So you shoo the pervert away, but then you have the option to do the exact same thing yourself:
Arkane Studios
This is why hotels switched to key cards.
You can also barge in and tell the poor girl that Piero was watching her bathe (while watching her bathe), or, if you're feeling especially creepy today, you can ask to join her, saying, "Maybe you'd like some company?"
Arkane Studios
Steampunk worlds have walls made of lasers. Not yet invented: clean, clear water.
She very politely refuses your offer, arguing that "rats, plague, and tyranny have a way of killing the mood" (must be a woman thing). You can now leave the bathroom with what's left of your dignity or stay there and dick around, drinking from her sink, stealing her loose change, and using her toilet. Just don't try to take a page from the James Bond manual and jump into the bath with her to see if it leads to a steamy erotic scene, because this is what happens instead:
Arkane Studios
Or erectoncilable hostilities, as it were.
The resistance disbands due to "irreconcilable hostilities" and the game ends. It turns out women don't like heavily armed men jumping into the bath with them after they explicitly said no. So, the queen's killers are never brought to justice, the plague that is rampant will only get worse, and it's hinted that the world will end due to sentient whales getting pissed off at us for taking their oil ... all because you couldn't keep your dick in your steampunk assassin pants.

DAMASCUS, Syria (CNN) -- Emboldened rebels fighting to hasten the fall of Syria's government set their sights on the capital, Damascus, as diplomats went into high gear amid concerns about chemical weapons.
"Our country will be free, we have no one but God," protesters rallying against President Bashar al-Assad chanted Friday in Douma, outside the capital. "The glad tidings are coming."
The fight for control of Damascus is being waged largely in its suburbs, where rebel forces say the casualty count has increased in recent days. And so has talk of a turning point in Syria's 21-month civil war. Friday's fighting left 43 dead in Damascus and its suburbs, including a child who was killed by a mortar and another by a sniper, the opposition Local Coordination Committees reports.
Al-Ghouta Shield Brigade, part of the rebel Free Syrian Army, called the land around the Damascus International Airport a "military zone," urging all airlines to cease incoming and outgoing flights for passengers' safety.
Opposition fighters are waging "ongoing military operations" there because Syrian forces "get military supplies and reinforcements" through the airport, FSA spokesman Louai Miqdad said. He insisted "the FSA will never target" the airport because it a civilian facility that serves the entire country.
The LCC said late Friday that "regime forces (had) closed all entrances to the capital" amid clashes. Syria's government maintains control of Damascus, while the rebels have taken large parts of northern Syria, including parts of the most populous city, Aleppo.
The rebels have been empowered as their ranks grow daily from military defectors. And their arsenal has become more powerful, with weapons purchased or captured from the army or reconstructed in makeshift workshops.
There are concerns that the government's desperation could result in a chemical weapons attack. U.S. intelligence showed that the government is filling aerial bombs with sarin gas at two locations near military airfields.
Syria has said it wouldn't use chemical weapons, "even if it had them, against its own people."
Mark Toner, a State Department spokesman, warned Friday that the use of such weaponry by al-Assad's "pariah state" would be unacceptable.
"I don't think it takes a real big thinker to understand that. I think it is very clear that these would cross a red line," he said.
But the trappings of normal life contrast against the realities of war in Aleppo.
In one corner of the city, a man sits in a barber chair for a shave. Across the street, people beg for bread. Nearby, carpets on a clothesline hide the guns of government snipers.
And inside the bombed-out remains of buildings, rebels hack away with sledgehammers to tunnel through walls -- all to avoid a sniper's bullet.
It was house-by-house, street-by-street urban warfare with rebels dodging snipers and climbing and crawling through holes in destroyed structures for safety. They resembled an "urban version of First World War trenches," according to CNN's Arwa Damon.
Rebels use everything from rockets to slingshots. The soundtrack: Bullets cracking and the muezzin's call to prayer.
"It's hard to fully absorb the scale of the devastation here," Damon reported from Aleppo's Amiriyeh neighborhood. "How entire buildings seem to have folded down upon themselves."
At an Aleppo demonstration, one of the weekly Friday protests held against the government every week since the conflict started, the people stood against the government.
"We will never kneel down, never again, to anyone but God," the protesters chanted.
The fighting spilled into Jordan on Friday, the Jordanian armed forces said. Shells and bullets landed in Jordanian territory because of heavy fighting between government forces and rebels in western Syria. One Jordanian soldier was wounded and is in good condition at a hospital.
An armed forces source quoted by the state-run Petra news agency said Jordanian armed forces made "an appropriate response" to the sources of the shelling but didn't describe the action. "We will not hesitate in the future to take all suitable measures to defend our border and property," the source said.
Outside the Damascus area, at least 37 others were killed across Syria on Friday, according to the opposition Local Coordination Committees of Syria. Activists also found a mass grave in Deir Ezzor, in the country's east, that included the bodies of 50 people kidnapped two months ago, the group said.

New installation coming up. 120gb SSD for OS and HOME and 1tb HDD for storage. 16gb of ram which means 16gb of swap if I recall correctly. SSD space is too valuable for a swap partition right? If my thinking is correct can someone guide me through or point me in the right direction for putting a swap partition on a second hard drive? I have always selected the automatic settings when installing ubuntu. Thanks!
A swap partition on your SSD will let you wake up faster from hibernation (aka "suspend to disk") as compared to swap on a hard drive. But given the incredibly fast boot time of Ubuntu when booting from SSD a wake up from hibernation may be slower than a reboot.
If you do not hibernate you may never need to swap at all.
Only in case you often have very many RAM intensive applications running in parallel, your system may eventually use swap. Then a swap on SSD will be somewhat faster than a swap on a hard drive. Still there is no need to worry about wearing of your SSD from extensive swapping.
If not used for hibernation you can alway add a swap partition or swap on file later:
SSDs are faster (although speeds decrease in time here too) but also have a smaller lifespan. Before making this choice think about the swapping habits of your distro.
Correct me if I'm wrong but this setup is your home PC, right? With 16GB I really doubt that you'll be doing much swapping especially since for example hibernation rarely works properly and is disabled in Ubuntu by default.
As an alternative to a swap partition you can use a swap file. The huge advantage with the second is that it can grow and shrink according to your needs where a partition is usually harder to deal with especially if it is between two other partitions and there is no space left.
Read here for more information on SSD for swap space:
For swap size see:
Personally with 16gb of memory to your disposal I wouldn't even bother with a swap partition... Just make sure that you add the following line to the end of the /etc/sysctl.conf file and things should run as normal:
vm.swappiness = 0
...save and reboot and no swap needed... I use this for my 2gb machine and never had a problem or slowdown since...
Apart from the other great answers, I just wanted to ask that you can have more than one swap partition. So you could put 4GiB of swap on the SSD and the rest in the HDD so if you need to swap something during your computers usage it goes to the fast swap. If you hibernate, probably the SSD swap won't be enough and you'll need the HDD swap too.
To do this, you'll need to create one swap partition in each disk, and once installed you'll need to open
You need to know which of this is in the fast disk and which on the slow disk. Executing the

The Compressed Gas Association is asking that regulations be rewritten to "clearly indicate that the liquid portion of the gas must not completely fill the tank." It says the rule permits the transport of carbon dioxide and refrigerated liquid "in an unsafe condition," according to a petition.
By BETSY MORRIS
Federal safety regulators said they will consider new safety
regulations for all rail tank cars, old and new, and gave the
public 60 days to comment on several controversial
The Pipeline and Hazardous Materials Safety Administration
(PHMSA) said it will consider regulations that tank cars be
equipped with better puncture resistance systems and top
fittings designed to make them safer in crashes. Tank cars
often carry hazardous materials and have been cited as a safety
problem in several serious crashes by the National
Transportation Safety Board.
Safety regulators are investigating the tank cars used in the
oil-train crash that killed 47 people and devastated the
Canadian town of Lac-Megantic this summer.
The proposals are part of an Advance Notice of Proposed
Rulemaking that is the first step in the rulemaking process,
PHMSA said. The agency said its proposals reflect input from
various stakeholders that use, haul or own rail tank cars. The
proposed changes also reflect recommendations from the NTSB and
from petitioners, among them the Village of Barrington, Ill.,
that wants the agency to require safety improvements.
The agency will give the public 60 days to comment on its
proposals and other regulations that apply to hazardous
material transport.
Most of the recommendations are based on petitions from
industries -- asking for safety changes to protect their
interests. Taken together, they show how controversial tank-car
safety has become despite repeated warnings by the National
Transportation Safety Board and very specific recommendations
from that agency.
A change that might benefit one industry, for instance, will be
costly to another. NTSB recommendations are included in the set
of proposals to be considered in the pipeline agency's
rulemaking process.
The railroad industry began applying its own safety changes
to newly-manufactured tank cars two years ago, but did not ask
that older tank cars be retrofitted to comply. Now, the
Association of American Railroads is proposing even more
stringent safety standards for newly-manufactured DOT-111 tank
cars (the most common type) that are going to be used to
transport the most hazardous loads. The Village of Barrington
petitioned that older tank cars be retrofitted to safety
standards as well.
The Compressed Gas Association is asking that regulations be
rewritten to "clearly indicate that the liquid portion of the
gas must not completely fill the tank." It says the rule
permits the transport of carbon dioxide and refrigerated
liquid "in an unsafe condition," according to PHMSA's
The American Petroleum Institute, the Chlorine Institute and
the American Chemistry Council propose, among other things,
delaying certain safety changes for tank cars carrying crude
oil or ethanol, pending further

Engineers and designers are highly skilled individuals.

I only have basic 和英 definitions to go on, but I'm guessing the nuance is that 覚える has more to do with things you learn or study, and 見覚える is more like remembering experiences. Or is there something more, or are they just synonymous?
Sign up
- Anybody can ask a question
- Anybody can answer

So you see something and memorize it. I think you can associate to visual memory.
覚える is like remember and 見覚える is like recognize. As mentioned in the a above comments the phrase 見覚えがある is a clue to this. That being said I'm not sure if 見覚える as a verb gets any real contemporary use. Some Googling shows that the phrase 見て覚える turns up occasionally, however this has the meaning of "learn by watching."
After some discussions, I decided to remove my previous answer and put it into a question I created on my own: Possible ways to express remembrance and recall.
I did this because that answer is wider than the one required here.
You can check the question, it might be useful.
Talking about 覚{おぼ}える and 見{み}覚{おぼ}える...
I came up looking at a question were someone asked the difference between verbs 覚{おぼ}える and 見{み}覚{おぼ}える. Since it is pertinent, I will spend some lines about this as well.
Somehow these two verbs are interchangeable but I am not sure about this because I never heard in my experience people using 見{み}覚{おぼ}える. On the other hand I heard them using a lot 覚{おぼ}える. Both mean "to remember" as I specified in the first paragraph.

LITTLE ROCK, AR. (April 26, 2012) - Each year in the United States, more than 6,500 people under the age of 21 die from injuries involving underage drinking, while thousands more are hurt as a result. Almost 2,400 youth under 21 die in drinking and driving crashes and nearly 2,400 die from other injuries including falls and fires in which alcohol was a contributing factor. In addition, 1,500 die in alcohol-related homicides, 300 commit suicide and many others overdose on alcohol every year.
The purpose of Alcohol Awareness Month is to increase public awareness and understanding and to encourage communities to focus on alcoholism and alcohol-related issues. Through the rest of April, National Council on Alcoholism and Drug Dependence, Inc. (NCADD) is highlighting the important public health issue of underage drinking, a problem with devastating individual, family and community consequences.
Alcohol use by young people is extremely dangerous - both to these minors and to society - and it is associated with traffic fatalities, violence, unsafe sex, suicide, educational failure, alcohol overdose and other problem behaviors. Locally, the Arkansas Children's Hospital (ACH) Injury Prevention Center (IPC), in cooperation with the Substance Abuse and Mental Health Services Administration, recently conducted a town hall meeting at Sylvan Hills High School, where guest speakers talked to students about underage drinking and teen driving safety.
The IPC also staged a mock sobriety checkpoint at the school prior to the town hall meeting to raise awareness of drinking and driving and the Arkansas Graduated Driver Licensing Law. The well-attended session was a partnership between the IPC and the Sherwood Police Department.
Some important facts about underage drinking:
Regrettably, it remains relatively easy for teenagers to obtain alcohol and despite serious concerns, kids are flooded with media messages that glamorize alcohol use, increasing the likelihood that they will drink alcohol. In fact, underage drinking accounts for 16 percent of all alcohol sales.
For more information about NCADD, underage drinking, NCADD Alcohol Awareness Month and NCADD Alcohol-Free Weekend, visit the NCADD website at: ncadd.org.
For more information about the Arkansas Children's Hospital Injury Prevention Center, call (866) 611-3445 or email firstname.lastname@example.com.
The National Council on Alcoholism and Drug Dependence, Inc. (NCADD) is the leading advocacy organization in the world addressing alcoholism and drug dependence. Since 1944, NCADD has raised public awareness about addiction throughout the United States and increasingly across the global community. NCADD's founder, Marty Mann, believed alcoholism was a disease that could be treated and should be treated like a public health problem. Marty advocated this belief strongly to the medical and scientific community. NCADD and its Affiliate Network is a voluntary health organization dedicated to fighting the Nation's #1 health problem - alcoholism, drug addiction and the devastating consequences of alcohol and other drugs on individuals, families and communities.
The Injury Prevention Center at Arkansas Children's Hospital is the only multi-faceted injury prevention program in Arkansas whose mission is to reduce injury, death and disability in Arkansas through service, education, innovative research and advocacy. Key areas of focus include motor vehicle, recreational, and home safety and intentional injury. The center's team of experts works with partners throughout the state to educate families on effective prevention strategies, reinforcing the fact that It Only Takes a Moment - it only takes only a moment to lose your life due to an injury, but it also only takes a moment to practice safety and prevention.
