The gear that was used for this task. Nikon D300 w/ MBD10 grip, Tokina 10-17 lens, NN5 with RD16 and EZ-leveler II.
Before I get in to the main question here are links to the reference shots.
So yesterday I was in the camera store and and was eying the Nikkor 10.5 and the Tokina 10-17. For starters I hadn't read Ken Rockwells review on the 10-17 till yesterday. But even in the short time I used it, and I am not to picky sometimes, I didn't see any issues with it. So I like having options so I picked up the Tokina 10-17. The intent is to create a 360 pano with 4 shots, not counting up and down. So I get home and I am eager to try this lens out. I take a few standard shots with the lens and they look fine. So I start researching the settings for this lens. Not seeing where anyone had their exact settings for this lens and knowing the point will be near the focus ring I setup for try number one. Which is this shot here. I use two programs for stitching, Autopano Pro and PTGui. I take my first 4 shots into Autopano and it doesn't even detect a pano in the four shots. Odd I thought.. so I open them in PTGui. After I do a basic stitch without making any adjustments I notice the black holes you see on the left and right of the 4 different shots. Keep in mind I ball-parked the pivot point. After some playing around I settled on the settings used for the Nikkor 10.5 as best I could tell it looked about right. So the best I could get it is the result in Shot 1 above. Shot 2 is at approx 13mm with 6 shots taken at 60 degrees dialed in on the RD16. You will notice a stitching error on the right side of shot 2. I think that was from the weight of my flash moving the camera off center as I pivoted.
So... the questions I have are this. It looks like there is not a 180 degree FOV at the top and bottom in landscape or Right and Left in Portrait. Is that an accurate assumption? or did I do something wrong? I shot the pano shots with the camera on the arms in Portrait. Should I shoot the 4 shot 180 degree panos with the camera in landscape? Would I have the same results with the Nikkor 10.5? or do I need to get an 8mm?
I returned the lens the same day I bought it. Because as far as I could tell that lens wasn't going to work and the camera shop person that helped me wasn't familiar with the 4 shot 180 pano setup.

One of my classmates was telling me that it is an open question whether every 3-manifold can be triangulated. This was rather surprising. He said that the question as far as he remember is settled only for 4-manifold where answer is negative. If this is the case, can somebody shed some light why this problem is so hard?

Just trying to get the hang of using the semantically correct XHTML markup.
Just writing the code for a small navigation item. Where each button has effectivly a title and a descrption. I thought a definition list would therefore be great so i wrote the following

Import images

Read in new image names to database

Exhibition Management

Create / Delete an exhibition

Image Management

Edit name, medium and exhibition data

But...I want the above to be 3 buttons, each button containing the dt and dd text. How can i do this with the correct code? Normally i would make each button a div and use that for the visual button behaviour (onHover and current page selection stuff).
Any advice please

Subject: Re: [MTT devel] GSOC application
From: Mike Dubman (mike.ompi_at_[hidden])

Hello guys,
I`m not sure if we should preserve current DB schema, from one simple reason
- datastore is an object oriented storage and have different rules and
techniques then rdbms.
The basic storage unit in the datastore is an object which can be saved,
loaded and queried.
(hadoop is based on the same principles, but open source.)
It seems that DB model for mtt over datastore should not be complex at all.
The current mtt db schema is mostly optimized for specific queries dictated
by web UI. Datastore creates indexes automatically, based on submitted
queries history.
I suggest we discuss/exchange db layout proposals by emails and when we get
to some general understanding how it should look like - we switch to
Also, It seems not problem at all to get datastore access for existing gmail
account. You get 500MB quota for storage. It takes 5min to start using it.
Here is some short info for datastore API:
- howto submit data model to datastore
- howto save, load, query
please comment.

In order to export variables permanently, we can write the export command in the following files:
In my case,
~/.bash_profile does not exist, and therefore I export the variable in the other two files:
export country=UK
The problem I have now is that the variable I defined (
country) is still unknown for the system. I was wondering what I should do next. Thanks!

I have sustained an injury in my right hand from playing the piano (my doctor diagnosed it as "tennis elbow"). Where can I find pieces that are suitable for left hand only? Hopefully they are sorted by difficulty.
There are a number of pieces for left-hand only piano. I'm only familiar with CPE Bach's Solfegietto (I'm not sure if it was originally written for left-hand piano or 2-hand piano), but a quick IMSLP search brings up a sizeable list of left-hand pieces.
Unfortunately, to my knowledge, IMSLP has no indication of the level of the pieces; you'll have to eyeball it yourself.

How Long Is A Radiation Treatment?
The Abramson Cancer Center of the University of Pennsylvania
Last Modified: January 26, 2012
How long does it take to get a radiation treatment?
Nicole Ross, RN, MSN, OCN - Radiation Oncology Nurse at Penn Medicine, responds:
A daily radiation treatment will take about 15 minutes. However, expect to be in your Radiation facility for about an hour every day, in the door to out the door. The first trip to your radiation facility will be for a planning session, which can take up to an hour. Plan for some extra time on your first day to ask questions and fill out paperwork.

I'm playing Railroad Tycoon 2 and my trains keep breaking down. I understand why and just haven't gotten into the groove of the game to prevent them, but what do I do once a train does break down?
You can't do anything to fix a broken-down engine. It'll eventually start running again on its own. You can't upgrade it while it's broken.
What you can do:
Engines can also crash. A crash is a more extreme version of a breakdown, and means your engine is gone for good. The game will take you to a crashed engine. You should replace it right away if you want to keep the route, because the existing train will be gone after the crash sequence finishes. To replace it, view it in the car selection window, then return to the main window and buy a replacement engine. By default your replacement will have the same consist and route as the last train you viewed.
Just wait, it will automatically be repaired after a while and will then continue its route. If an engine is breaking down repeatedly, you might want to consider getting rid of the engine and replacing it. The older an engine is, the more likely it is to break down.

Henry's Smokehouse Greenville SC
Made a visit to Henry's Smokehouse with a few friends while I was attending the NBBQA. This place has a great vibe to it. Great interior decor!
From their website:
What's the secret about the best BBQ in town?
We used the best ingredients, the leanest butt in town. Our BBQ is cooked in the old fashioned Southern tradition. We place top choice meats in open BBQ pits with hickory logs and cook them to perfection at low temperatures. Henry's cooks its pork butts for 12 hours and its ribs for over 8 hours.
If you have ever had meat cooked long and slow, and experienced the fall-off-the-bone tenderness and the distinctive hickory flavor, you begin to understand, why Henry's Barbeque is becoming legendary.
The staff are all super warm and friendly. Great people who were smiles from ear to ear and fun to talk with.
Their menu has a lot of options and one of those items is their BBQ hash. This was something I have never had before. I love a good hash full of corned beef, taters and onions. Did I ever get an education. Hash in the South is a whole lot different than Hash in the North. Oh my good gracious. I ordered the hash & rice.
Let me tell you what arrived on our plate resembled something that … well… to put it bluntly the cat might have thrown up. I wish there was another way to put it. There isn't anything pretty about it at all. I did notice however that there were many other folks who were enjoying it.
As I tried some of it I knew instantly that this was just not for me. I am more than willing to try anything once. For me I won't say it was bad just really different (some very sour notes, mushy texture, indistinguishable meat). TO those folks enjoying it all the best to you but I think I'll pass in the future. Just not my cup of tea.
We ordered a couple of sample plates from the restaurant.
I really liked their sweet potatoes and I enjoyed the pork with their spicy brown sauce. I ended up purchasing a couple of bottles before leaving for the next place. It was a great balance of sweet, spice and mustard.
After we had eaten we had an opportunity to meet some of their fun staff. Billy the buttmeister can be seen above prepping the pork for the day. Bo the butt chopper was funny as heck as we talked in the back. Outside we got to speak with Tiger their pitmaster that has been with them for the last 20 years.
They use strictly hickory wood for their BBQ's. They also set up quite a lovely outdoor picnic for the folks on the NBBQA bus tour. Southern hospitality all around!
It was a really interesting place to go and I am glad I got to try BBQ that was completely different than anything I had experienced before. The people that work there really care about their food. I really believe that even though you may not like somebody's BBQ you can certainly appreciate the time they take to make it the care and concern they put into it. Its all about learning more about the different styles of #BBQ all over North America. Glad we stopped in for sure.
*******Please note the WIFI in our SC hotel was horrible. Could not update the blog. My apologies for the delays in posting. Additionally in the upcoming weeks I will be changing servers. Thanks for your patience.****************

Saw it and not impressed at all. (Williams has never done it for me anyhow...too much of a grey type of actress). Marilyn is FIRE when you see her on screen-(whatever her real persona might have been), and Williams does not have what it takes to project that. Plus, the physique was WRONG. When my mother saw her she turned to me and whispered..."She's toooo skiny...that's NOT Marilyn!" And she's right.
What about Charlize Theron...?
or Lindsay Lohan...?
The stills of both look good, but the story is in how they move. Even sitting still, Monroe moved, quivered, radiated. Offhand, I can't think of any modern actresses who can do that.

Hi guys.
I thought that since there is at least two threads about suggestions, I saw there is none with poll where people vote what they think about FM10 after patch 10.3 was released.
The idea is not bash how things are bad in FM, but more like a feedback from us the users, so that is way that help SI, to deliver a more exiting, entertaining FM11.
I would like to request that people that vote state here, any likes or dislikes about FM10, to give more idea to SI.
PS: A warning, if anyone comes here to cash or troll, I will report to moderators about you, so please keep it civil.
PS": I start. I ebnjoy the game, but I got bored very quickly, because there is few things like Press Conferences, Team Talk and the overall organization of User interface is too confusing.

Glenn Schafer, USDA Farm Service Agency (FSA) Acting State Executive Director, reminds producers that the American Taxpayer Relief Act of 2012 extended the authorization of the Food, Conservation, and Energy Act of 2008 (the 2008 Farm Bill) for many Commodity Credit Corporation (CCC) commodity, disaster, and conservation programs through 2013. FSA administers these programs.
The extended programs include, among others: the Direct and Counter-Cyclical Payment Program (DCP) and Average Crop Revenue Election Program (ACRE). FSA will begin sign-ups for DCP and ACRE for the 2013 crops on February 19, 2013. The DCP sign-up period will end on August 2, 2013; the ACRE sign-up period will end on June 3, 2013.
The 2013 DCP and ACRE program provisions are unchanged from 2012, except that all eligible participants in 2013 may choose to enroll in either DCP or ACRE for the 2013 crop year. This means that eligible producers who were enrolled in ACRE in 2012 may elect to enroll in DCP in 2013 or may re-enroll in ACRE in 2013 (and vice versa).
FSA will provide producers with information on program requirements, updates and sign-ups as the information becomes available. Any additional details will be posted on FSA's website.
For more information about the programs administered by FSA, visit any FSA county office or www.fsa.usda.gov.

Business Jet Traveler » February 2010

February 1, 2010
Arnold Palmer isn't your typical business jet traveler. A curiosity about airplanes-and a fear of flying on early airliners-led him to the pilot's seat in 1956. He was just 27 then, but his aggressive play on the golf course and magnetic personality already were hinting at the greatness to come.
February 1, 2010
You need good reasons to travel by helicopter. Compared with an airplane of similar size, a helicopter costs more to buy, lease, rent, charter and operate. So why bother with one?
February 1, 2010
The business jet finance field is unique because business jets are unique. For one thing, they move around-fast. A Gulfstream G550 that's in Zurich this morning could be in Tehran tonight.
February 1, 2010
Stephen J. Cannell arrived in a black stretch limousine for our interview at Southern California's Van Nuys Airport, where the novelist and TV show creator, writer and producer keeps his Gulfstream III and Learjet 55. The 68-year-old Cannell is handsome and elegant while also exuding a charm that can put anyone around him instantly at ease.

After used aircraft inventory reached an all-time high last July, the market sustained a month-over-month decrease in supply, falling 8 percent below its peak of 3,100-plus.
February 1, 2010
This small-cabin (light) jet has lower per-mile direct operating costs than contemporary models such as the dassault falcon 10 and learjet 35A, and the acquisition cost is only 20 percent of what you'd pay for a similarly performing very light jet. Plus, you can tweak a citation i to the point where it even outperforms many new aircraft costing millions more.
February 1, 2010
A chief selling point of fractional flying is its simplicity. Unlike charter customers, you don't have to bother with shopping for a flight; and unlike full owners, you don't have to worry about maintenance, storage and hiring crews. The fractional provider takes care of all that.
February 1, 2010
Managing a multimillion-dollar aircraft isn't just another chore, it's a full-scale business-a business many owners want help with. "We're overwhelmed right now," said Scott Phillips, whose company, Jet 1 Charter, provides management and charter services in Naples, Fla.
February 1, 2010
Has there ever been a better time to be a charter customer? Rates have declined significantly and aircraft availability is unfettered. Yet some charter operators are advising regular customers that now is the time to consider buying an aircraft, and more charter users are seeking acquisition advice on their own, according to some charter companies.
""How many leaders actively seek out and encourage views alien and at odds with their own? All too few...Who in your organization serves as your Challenger In Chief? Interrogating the choices you are considering making? Making you consider the uncontemplated, the unimaginable and that which contradicts or refutes your position? And also challenging you?""

I seek metrics on complete manifolds whose scalar curvature represents a singularity of the form $\frac{h}{\rho^2}$ where $h$ is a continuous function and $\rho$ vanishes on the boundary of some compact set of the manifold.
Take the graph $t=\sqrt{x^2+y^2+z^2}$ with induced intrinsic metric. In $(x,y,z)$-coordinates, the scalar curvature is $$\frac C{x^2+y^2+z^2}.$$
Are you happy?
There is a description a plane curve called its Cesàro equation, in which the curvature is given as a function $k$ of arc length $s$. Suppose that $k$'s domain is $(0,1]$. Then it should be clear that, given one point and a tangent vector at that point, the corresponding curve $\mathbf{r}(s)$ exists and is unique for $s\in[0,1]$. (Even if the function $k$ misbehaves at $s=0$, the limit $\mathbf{r}(0)$ exists.)
Define the curve C whose Cesàro equation for $s\in(0,1]$ is $k=1/s^2$, with (arbitrarily, but for concreteness) $\mathbf{r}(0)=(1,0)$, and its tangent vector upward at $s=0$. Form a surface of revolution S by revolving C about the $y$ axis. S is compact, and the locus $s=0$ is a unit circle forming a boundary of S.
The Gaussian curvature $\kappa$ is equal in magnitude to the product of the curvatures along the two principal axes. The curvature along the azimuthal axis is 1 for $s=0$, so $|\kappa|\sim 1/s^2$ as $s\rightarrow 0$.
You can use the warped product of two Riemannian manifolds, with a warping function which vanishes on a compact region.
Let $(B,g_B)$ and $(F,g_F)$ be two Riemannian manifolds, and $f$ a smooth function on $B$. The warped product of $B$ and $F$ with warping function $f$ is the manifold $$B\times_f F:=\big(B\times F, \pi^*_B(g_B) + (f\circ \pi_B)\pi^*_F(g_F)\big),$$ where $\pi_B:B\times F \to B$ and $\pi_F: B \times F \to F$ are the canonical projections. It is customary to call $B$ the base and $F$ the fiber of the warped product $B\times_f F$.
Let $B \times_f F$ be a warped product, with $\dim F>1$. Then, the scalar curvature $s$ of $B \times_f F$ is related to the scalar curvatures $s_B$ and $s_F$ of $B$ and $F$ by $$s = s_B + \frac {s_F}{f^2} + 2\dim F\frac{\Delta f}{f} + \dim F(\dim F - 1)\frac{\langle grad f, grad f\rangle_B}{f^2}.$$
You can play with this formula to obtain what you are looking for - by trying to make $s_B + 2\dim F\frac{\Delta f}{f}$ vanish, or at least to be of the form $\frac{h}{f^2}$. To make it vanish, you may solve the equation $$\Delta f+\frac{s_B}{2\dim F}f=0.$$
More about warped products in O'Neill's "Semi-Riemannian geometry: with applications to relativity", and in this paper.

I am planning to drive over the Curonian Spit from the Lithuanian side in 2013. I would love to travel on into the Russian side and visit Kaliningrad. Is there a border crossing on the Spit? If not, will I have to travel back up the Lithuanian side and find an alternative crossing into Russian/Kaliningrad?
As you say you're going to pass the border at Curonian Spit, you'll be in Klaipeda before this. @Marcel C. already said about the Nida station, but I want to add some information which can be useful for you and others who will view this question.
So, you have two different ways to get from Klaipeda to Curonian Spit and Kaliningrad with your car:
I should note that where are other way to get to the Kaliningrad from Klaipeda, if you don't want to use your car - international buses are operating between two cities on daily basis.
You can find information here (site about the Kaliningrad bus station) and here (site about the international bus line from Kaliningrad). Note that various buses have various stops - some of them will move you across the Klaipeda's bay, some of them will not.
There is a border crossing from Lithuania to Russia on the Curonian Spit. It is just south of the village of Nida. You can see the station via the google maps satellite view.
If you are not a Russian citizen, you need a Russian visa. This has to be arranged before going there. They won't issue a visa at the Nida border.

STEUBENVILLE - A rite of spring will come to a close this year as city officials prepare to stop the annual bulk pickup campaign.
The spring cleanup that allowed residents to carry, drag and somehow get furniture, some appliances and just about everything else to the curb will end after this year's six consecutive weeks.
The cars and trucks that prowled through neighborhoods looking for metal or an item that could be reused in a different house won't be evident next year when the city starts a new monthly pay-as-you-discard plan in 2014.
The city will hold one last annual spring bulk cleanup starting on April 13.
City Manager Cathy Davison said Tuesday night the city "is already getting complaints about large items being put out for collection by city sanitation crews."
"This will be our last year for the spring pickup. It is expensive to run every year. We will be working on plans for a monthly pickup program. Customers will pay for the large items they place at the curb for collection," explained Davison.
"That is pretty much a standard policy for many other communities. We will start an education process as soon as the policy is finalized. We have been discussing updating our sanitation policy, and this is our opportunity to do that for next year," Davison said.
Sanitation Superintendent Bob Baird said the bulk cleanup will take place on six consecutive Saturdays starting April 13 in the city's South End from Market Street to the city's southern city limits and from Spring Avenue to state Route 7 and including Lincoln Heights.
The pickup will continue April 20 in the North End from Alikanna to Market Street and from Eleventh Street to state Route 7.
Baird said the schedule will proceed on April 27 on the north side of Sunset Boulevard from Brady Avenue to the western city limits.
"On May 4 we will be doing the south side of Sunset Boulevard from McCauslen Manor to the western city limits. On May 11 we will be conducting the bulk pickup on all streets on Pleasant Heights, and we will finish this year's pickup on May 18 on all streets on LaBelle View," explained Baird.
"The regular sanitation schedule will remain in effect during the bulk pickup campaign," Baird added.
"We will not pick up any kind of tires, computers, televisions or any kind of electronics, (anything with) freon gases such as freezers, refrigerators, air conditioning units or dehumidifiers. We will also not pick up hazardous wastes or petrochemicals, including fuels, oils, solvents or paint or any construction materials such as shingles, concrete, block or brick," he said.
Baird said all household items should be placed at the curb area where the regular trash collection is placed.
"This should be done the night prior to the scheduled bulk collection. Once the Saturday collection is completed there will not be any return trips," said Baird.

Right: this week's New York Observer cover (drawn by Drew Friedman) for a story about how things are sorta really sucky for Governor Elliot Spitzer. Two things: We had no idea that the stereotypical Hispanic immigrant's fashion sense stopped evolving halfway through the 80s. (No wonder the Observer removed that figure from the paper's actual cover!) Also, we wonder how much time the Press art department spent with their rulers, making absolutely sure that, unlike previous covers by the same editor, the nose of a Jewish man is not drawn more than twice as long as it is wide.

I have recently graduated from college and started working quite far away from home (1200 miles appx). And I am finding this new life, new daily routine a little too easy to adjust to.
I am an ambitious guy with a "spark" to do things. And I am afraid I'll lose it in this monotonous life. But I like my job. Still, I tend to miss my college life and I am failing to use my personal time to learn and hone new skills. How to keep the same zeal, same positive outlook in me towards life?
P.S : I couldn't think of a better forum to ask this. Sorry if its inappropriate.

Blame game over deficit
You haven't heard the last of the blame game as Gov. Dannel P. Malloy, less than two years after the largest tax increase in Connecticut history, tries to explain why the state once again is running giant budget deficits as far as the eye can see.
So far, the game has been a real hoot. He blames the red ink on lagging tax receipts and higher-than-anticipated Medicaid costs; neither in his estimation was foreseeable. Blaming a "revenue shortfall" is amusing because it shows anew Democrats — and voters, we hasten to add — never learn from their mistakes. Democrats' No. 1 response to deficits arising from their profligacy is raise taxes. However, as Democrats are wont to do, Gov. Malloy vastly overestimated revenues from his record tax increase while failing to account for the $3.8 billion in damage it would inflict on the state's languid economy and for the tax-avoidance the already-overtaxed people would practice. But "revenue shortfall" plays so better to the audience than "we messed up royally again."

" All the talk about debt misses the huge point of the advantages of debt, especially in an inflationary environment. Consider what you buy. If dollars were inches, a lot of us would be twenty feet tall by now. Imagine buying a lb of hamburger around 9-11. Back then (11 years ago) ,hamburger was about a dollar a lb. So you buy it with debt and now the bill is due with interest. Luckily, unless you save money, interest is super low. So taking 11 years to pay for hamburger would be cheaper than buying 1/2 lb of hamburger today. We got the burger 11 years ago and pay for it now, for a lot cheaper than it is now. This makes complete sense. In fact, the fact it does not make sense to a lot of people actually helps facilitate it. "

This is nothing short of disgraceful. "

My site is reaching CPU limits all the time, I just ran Debug Queries and got more than 4000 queries, no wonder site is slow.
I would bet my bottom $ that the permalinks are the problem, your link shows a heck of a lot wp_rewrite queries.. take a look at this a similar issue
Standard permalink advice is to not start with postnames, tags, categories or authors:
From the Codex on Permalinks
How many pages do you have? Pages.. not posts.
I'd have the same problem in the past with a site with a LOT of pages.
It's even documented as a bug.
If it is your case, try setting $use_verbose_page_rules to false in the WP_rewrite class
Edit: Class WP_Rewrite bool $use_verbose_page_rules = true Whether to write every mod_rewrite rule for WordPress pages.

Budget Race Engines - Build Your Own Race Engine, Part 2Written by on January 1, 2009 Completing The Foundation
In last month's Circle Track, we kicked off a brand-new series detailing how you can save money (which can then be invested in better parts) and gain more control of your racing destiny by building your own race engine. We laid the foundation by detailing how to prep the block for machine work, install freeze plugs, measure and pre-fit the rod and main bearings, fit the rings, and install the camshaft and crank. This time around we'll complete the short-block (the block with the crank, camshaft, rods, pistons and timing set installed).
If you remember, the engine is a Chevrolet 350 based on what's typically called the "Limited Late Model" class. Flat-top pistons, 23-degree cast iron cylinder heads, stock stroke and journal sizes, dual-plane intake and a two-barrel carburetor. You get the picture. We chose this class because we believe it's right in the sweet spot where most racers live. We're not yet at the level of cost-is-no-object exotic components, but we're above the most basic level where intelligent modifications and part selection will definitely give you an advantage.
With that said, let's get back to work:
More Photos From This Article View Slideshow
The entire rotating assembly came as a pre-balanced package from JR Motorsports. The Mahle pistons, sized 0.030 over, are a relatively light 579 grams and feature Mahle's antifriction coating on the skirts.The rods are manufactured by Scat (just like the crank). They use the stock journal size and are the stock 5.7 inch length. This is a no-frills rod that should still be much stronger than stock components.JR Motorsports sent over the rods and pistons preassembled, but we pulled them apart to inspect them and check the weights-which turned out to be well-matched from rod to rod. When assembling pistons and rods, always make sure to use plenty of assembly lube-Royal Purple's synthetic assembly lube in this case. Install the pin lock on one side and slide the wristpin in place joining the rod to the piston. One side of the rod has a chamfer on it, make sure it's oriented with the piston so that the chamfer points outward (not facing toward the other rod on the journal).The Mahle pistons use wire locks, which are generally better than spiral locks, which can damage the piston if the engine goes into detonation. With new engine builders, installing locks can be quite frustrating and even lead to scratched pistons if you try to get the locks into place with a screwdriver. Scratches and gouges not only look bad, but they can also create stress risers which will weaken the material. A great alternative is the Lock-In Tool, which makes installing pin locks a breeze.To get the lock in place, place one edge of the wire in the groove inside the pin tower. Press the Lock-In Tool against the pin and apply pressure to slowly work the wire into the groove all the way around.It's time to pull the caps off the rods again. By this point, you should have had the rods together and apart at least twice. By far, the easiest way to do this is with a dedicated rod vise like this one from Goodson. It also ensures the rods won't be damaged. You can use an electric impact wrench to remove the caps like you see here, but don't ever use them for installation.The easiest way to install the piston rings is to lightly clamp the connecting rod in a vise to hold the piston steady. It's a good idea to wrap the rod with a shop rag to keep it from getting scratched. Also, use a ring spreader for installing the rings. You can install them by hand but they are more likely to develop a "twist" if you do. Begin with the oil ring and work your way up.When installing the oil ring, make sure to install the center expander ring first. This is because it not only acts as a separator between the upper and lower sections of the oil ring, but it also has portions that sit on the inside diameter of the rings and push them outward, which you can see here.
If the bearings aren't still in place, make sure they are clean and install them now. Lubricate both halves with assembly lube. Use a thicker lube-not motor oil-to ensure the bearings will be protected during startup.Before installing the pistons, take a moment to reclean and lubricate the cylinder bores. Wipe down the bores with a rag soaked in automatic transmission fluid (ATF). This works well because the ingredients in ATF not only lubricate the cylinder walls, but they also break down any residual oils and contaminants. Make sure to turn the rag often so that you aren't simply moving contaminants from one cylinder to another.Lubricate the piston's rings and skirts with motor oil before installing them in the cylinder bores. Old-school engine builders will tell you to dunk the entire assembly in a bucket of motor oil, but this isn't necessary and just causes a mess.Using a quality ring compressor will make your life a lot easier when installing pistons. If you scribed numbers on each of the rods (one through eight), drop them into the correct cylinder bore. Once the piston is in position (the valve reliefs should be toward the lifter valley), gently tap it into the hole with a clean rubber mallet until all three rings are completely inside the cylinder bore. Never use a steel hammer. If anything more than light taps are necessary, check to make sure a ring hasn't popped out between the ring compressor and the deck of the block.Once the piston is completely inside the bore, you can set the ring compressor aside and push the piston in the rest of the way by hand. But before you have even installed the rod and piston, you should make sure the crank's rod journal for the cylinder you are working on is turned so it's as far away from the cylinder as you can get it. Be careful to guide the end of the rod over the journal so you don't scar the rod journal. Alternatively, you can also use a 3 or 4 inch length of plastic tubing placed over the rod bolts to protect and guide the rod end so as not to scar or scratch the rod journal.On a Chevy small-block, the cylinders are numbered so that all the odd numbers are on the right bank of cylinders (when looking at the front of the engine) and the evens are on the left. If you look closely, you will notice the first cylinder bore on the right is a little bit forward of the first cylinder on the left. This is why it's numbered as the first cylinder.Now, slide the rod cap into place. Again, make sure the chamfered side points to the outside of the rod journal. Remember, the caps always orient on the rods one way. Lubricate the threads of the rod bolts with moly lube, or extreme pressure lube, and install the nuts just tight enough so that the crank can be turned over without splitting the cap from the rod.Your bolt manufacturer will probably provide torque specs for the rod bolts, but the most dependable method for avoiding a connecting rod failure is to check rod bolt stretch. I'm using a gauge from ARP. Begin by zeroing out your gauge on the bolt when it's in a relaxed state.Now torque both bolts on that rod to 10 ft/lbs less than the suggested spec and measure the same bolt again that you zeroed the gauge against the first time. Rod bolts should stretch between 0.005 and 0.007 inch. The stretch should be too low. If it is, release the tension on the bolt, increase the setting on the torque wrench and repeat the process. Aim for 0.0055 to 0.006 of stretch. If you stretch past 0.007 inch, the bolt should be considered trash.
Next, you will need to make sure each pair of rods on each crank journal have enough side clearance. You can do this with a dial indicator set up on a magnetic base like you see here. Hold one rod against the crank fillet and move the other back and forth. You should have at least 0.008 inch of clearance. If you don't have a dial indicator, you can also check side clearance by placing a feeler gauge between the rods.Once all the pistons are in place, you can slip the timing set on. The easiest method is to align the dowel on the camshaft so that it's in the 3 o'clock position. This will help you line up the timing marks.Almost all timing chain sets have dots on both the crank and cam gears. When these are aligned directly across from each other, you know the cam is installed "straight up," or with zero advance or retard. Notice how this crank gear has multiple keyways to allow you to advance or retard the cam four degrees. When installing a timing set like this, it can be easy to get confused with crankshaft location. Just remember that when the number-one cylinder is at top dead center, the key on the crank will be pointing toward the number-one cylinder (as you can see here).Once the timing set is in place, we can spin the rotating assembly over to make sure the rods do not contact the camshaft we installed last month. If the engine isn't a stroker, interference between the spinning rods and the camshaft is unlikely, but it's always a good idea to check anyway. During the process of installing the pistons and rods-and throughout the rest of the build-you will be spinning the crank many times. The easiest way to do this is with a crank socket like this one from Powerhouse Products.If you don't have a crank socket, you can also use a large crescent wrench, which will grab onto the crank key to allow you to spin the crank. Just be careful not to damage either the snout of the crank or the keyFinally, you can install the rear main seal. This block was originally a one-piece rear main seal design, but it has been fitted with a two-piece seal adaptor. The two-piece design works with more performance cranks and oil pans than the one-piece blocks. In this build, we're using all Cometic gaskets. Use a thin bead of gasket sealer or silicone on the back of the seal (where it mates to the adaptor) and oil or extreme pressure lube on the lip of the seal before installing. Also, always make sure the lip of the seal points toward the interior of the engine. Finally, it's a good idea to "clock" the seal, or slide it so that the parting line of the seal does not match up with the parting line of the cap, as you can see here. This helps eliminate annoying oil leaks.

The Sims 3 Late Night for the PC is a further expansion to the series and lets Sims experience life after dark in the fictional city of Bridgeport.
Super Gamer Dude
PC Games
This new version of the classic game Sims starts with your character as a member of the band, as a celebrity, and eventually become a vampire. The new version Late Night is described as the "return to the open-ended gameplay of the Sims" which is focused mainly in getting your character out of the house and engage into a nightlife. The setting takes place in a brand new town of Bridgeport which contains various bars and clubs where your character can hang around on. The town of Bridgeport was modeled from the famous towns and streets of San Francisco and Los Angeles so you should expect some familiar landmarks and places.
A hot spot will be featured on this game where most of the sims will be often be gathering and having a party. Your sim can level up as much as you want until you reach the 5-star rank. However, your character may also gain low levels of fame which will cause them to enter only small-time clubs. This can be difficult since you will need skills to sneak the bouncers in the bar. Part of the skills that you will need to possess will be to hack the bars' computer in order to gain access to its back door.
Late Night is all about parties since these events enables your sim to earn extra cash. Say you want to grab hold the Late Night's new bar tending feature, you can join a party and collect recipes from the books that are stored in the place and from skill advancements. You can earn cash from shaking, stirring, mixing, and anything bartender like during parties. In addition, you can also play any instrument that is available during gameplay in order to increase your wealth.
Just like what is mentioned earlier, Late Night also features you as a vampire. Just like the real vampires, your sim vampires also need plasma in order to survive and what better way to get yourself one than to hunt for a prime victim. Of course, hunting and luring victims will not be that easy, you will still need to persuade, convince, flirt, chat with your victim until he or she finally gives you a chance for a tasty bite. Having this version of Sims has never been more fun because it provides thrill and a bit of horror to the usual fun and excitement of the game.

If I do the following things, I can never get past #4.
Authenticate with facebook to get authtoken. It redirects back to the page with code querystring param
I get the authtoken from param and make a call to the following url string url = "https://graph.facebook.com/me?access_token=" + Token; (any graph api call works fine on the first call)
I get json data back. No problem. Now I have the id info from facebook.
I try to repeat the process. Every call to https://graph.facebook.com/me/xxxxxx fails. If I try getting a new token or using the initial token I get Bad Request 400 error.

I asked this question because of the horrific murders in Libya. It reminded me of the wars in Iraq & Afganistan. How different peoples/beliefs/religions upset and, at times, enrage others. I cannot change other's opinions. I can only hope to open their minds to think about & ponder the validity of different beliefs.
I wish you well. Stay safe. Peace!

Has anyone been able to install the
MinionPro package on OS X? I usually install (and update) TeX Live through MacPorts and the first package I have ever found that wasn't already included is

Hugo, you say "I do have Minion Pro installed in my system -- although I honestly don't know how, but I suppose it either came with Adobe InDesign or Microsoft Office", however before you can use the Minion Pro OTF fonts on your system, they first need to be converted into Type1 format. I'm guessing you haven't done this yet (please correct me if I'm wrong). The
The number of steps might appear onerous compared to usual one-click package installations, but they're really not too difficult. Just follow them quite precisely and you'll be right. You'll be rewarded with a very handsome dual-purpose text and math typeface, with the added bonus of the equally handsome and quite complete
By far the easiest way to use the wonderful Minion Pro font (installed on my Mac via Adobe CS4) is with XeTeX as ShreevatsaR suggests.
This can then be compiled with
If you prefer to use pdftex then you must install the font in a format that TeX can read (only XeTeX can read the true type font used by modern system software). This in my experience is a bit of a pain, but is described here: http://www.tug.org/mactex/fonts/fonttutorial-current.html
I had prepared a certain important document (a couple of hundred pages) using the MinionPro font a few months back, and I am required to make critical edits to it now. My compile failed today because my current computer, which is a Mac, did not have the MinionPro LaTeX package installed. Googling led me to this page and a couple of others, and thanks to these, I was able to make MinionPro available to pdflatex on my Mac without breaking much of a sweat. Here are the exact steps which I followed, in the hope that they may be useful to someone else in the same predicament. They are based on the MinionPro README.
This set of steps installs the font into a folder in the user's home directory, so these may be useful if you are averse to modifying files in system (i.e, non-home) directories. Also, if you are confused as to which updmap.cfg to edit (there seem to be at least four on my system), then you can try seeing if step 11 below is of use.
This gave a few lines of output which seemed to indicate that The Right ThingTM was being done, and after this I was able to compile my document using pdflatex as usual.
EDIT: I also came across the issues described here, here and here, and solved them by editing a couple of text files as described in the respective answers.
There's a new (and maintained) set of scripts for generating Type1 fonts for MinionPro (and, as an added bonus, MyriadPro and CronosPro), which worked well for me.

Metal Gear Solid V: The Phantom Pain E3 demo to be broadcast on June 18thWritten by: / / 1 Comment
Metal Gear creator Hideo Kojima has announced that the Metal Gear Solid V: The Phantom Pain gameplay demo shown behind closed doors during E3 will be broadcast online at 10am GMT tomorrow, June 18th. The demo will last roughly thirty minutes and will be available to watch on the Kojima Station website. Kojima also noted that the presentation will be in English and that the gameplay demo will be based on the PS4 version of MGSV: TPP.
Various previews written by journalists who attended the game's E3 session reveal that the cardboard box will once again play a major role in Metal Gear Solid V: The Phantom Pain as will the Fulton recovery system first seen in Metal Gear Solid: Peace Walker. It will be fascinating to learn what other gameplay tricks Kojima Productions has up its sleeve during tomorrow's broadcast.
Metal Gear Solid V: The Phantom Pain is expected to touch down sometime next year on PS4, PS3, Xbox 360 and Xbox One. Head over here for El33tonline's previous coverage of Metal Gear Solid V.

To the editor:
Does the public have a responsibility to know what its elected and appointed officials are doing on their behalf?
Does the public have a duty to be aware of what is going on in the government that decides issues that may affect them for years to come?
Should the public take an active role in learning the issues facing its village, city or county government, and should the public make sure it stays current on those issues?
Your answer should be yes, but, believe me, that is not the way it is. That is why some elected officials are able to do the things they do.
And then we ask, how can that happen. It has been my experience during the last few years to realize how little the general public knows who their elected officials are, let alone some of the issues that affect their pocketbooks.
We like to brag when we have a large voter turnout, but do these voters really know who and what they are voting for?
The public must take more of an active interest in who and what is happening. Elected officials are supposed to be working for us. Don't let them forget that. Please get involved before it's too late.

Bowling Green's city commission voted unanimously at special session on Monday morning to hire and appoint an independent counsel to investigate allegations surrounding the finances of the former Sloan Convention Center Board.
Mayor Sandy Jones made the suggestion after saying the commission had now received "2 diametrically opposed" legal opinions regarding whether or not the city should pursue a lawsuit to recover hundreds of thousands of dollars in alleged unauthorized expenses.
City Attorney Gene Harmon investigated the matter and told the Commission he does not see ample evidence to proceed with a lawsuit. Nashville attorney Nader Baydoun, hired by Commissioner Jim Bullington and a group of "concerned taxpayers," told the Commission last week that he believes the city has a case.
Bullington first made the allegations of bad legal and accounting advice in a memo to fellow commissioners dated December 13, 2002. Baydoun told commissioners he believes that memo may have started a 1-year statute of limitations clock that would expire this Saturday, preventing the city commission from filing any legal action after that date.
In explaining her recommendation this morning, Mayor Jones said there is much debate over whether or not the statute of limitations has even started, and that the city attorney was pursuing a "tolling agreement" with law firm Wyatt Tarrant and Combs, and accounting firm BKD. Such an agreement would waive the statute of limitations, and allow the city to have as much time as it needs to investigate the matter.
The Commission is expected to hear recommendations from City Manager Chuck Coates on which law firm to hire as early as next Tuesday at their regular meeting.

Area college baseball: Spartans blank Marshall, 3-0
Published: Friday, March 1, 2013 at 3:15 a.m.
Last Modified: Saturday, March 2, 2013 at 12:18 a.m.
USC Upstate used a great pitching performance from Brandon Lee and a trio of well-placed RBI singles to send the Spartans to a 3-0 victory over Marshall University Friday afternoon at Harley Park.
The Spartans (6-2) were led by another impressive outing from Lee (3-0), who picked up his third victory in as many starts to open the season.
The senior scattered eight hits over nine innings, tallied seven strikeouts and benefited from three double plays to stifle the Marshall offense.
Upstate manufactured a run in the third inning, when Brody Greer coaxed a lead-off walk and advanced into scoring position on a sacrifice bunt by AJ Mackey. Jordan Stampler then stepped in the box and turned on the first pitch he saw and laced a single down the left field line to plate Greer and give the Spartans a 1-0 lead.
Greer was at it again in the fifth inning, this time singling through the right side to bring Brandon Patterson racing home and giving Upstate a 2-0 lead. The single from Greer extended his hitting streak to eight games to open the season.
The Spartans added one more insurance run in the fifth inning when Tyler Lesch singled home Greer to give Upstate a 3-0 lead and create the final margin of victory.
Limestone 8, No. 10 Coker 7: In Hartsville, Limestone (10-4, 2-1) erased an early six-run deficit, rallying for a win in Game 1 of a three-game series against No. 10 Coker (10-5, 3-1). The Saints had a five-run fourth inning and scored three in the fifth to take the lead.
Caleb Shelley earned the win for Limestone, pitching 4 1/3 innings of relief while allowing three runs. Julian Bridges did most of the damage at the plate for the Saints, finishing 4-for-5.
Dayton 5, Wofford 4, 10 innings: Wofford was defeated in extra innings by Dayton at Russell C. King Field. The Terriers had a 4-3 lead after six innings, but the Flyers scored once in the eighth to tie the game and plated the winning run in the 10th. Wofford (4-5) was led by Josh Hyman (Woodruff) who had three hits.

Are C1, C2 and C3 connected in parallel, or C2, C3 in parallel and C1 in series with C23?
Btw it appeared as a question in the basic physics Albanian A-levels yesterday. You had to find the equivalent capacitance, given C1 , C2 and C3.
EDIT: Recently some users are saying the three capacitors are in parallel, which opposes the official answer issued by the test makers (that is C1 in series with C23). Since I don't know the exact answer, please be more specific in your explanations on why it should be as you think it is. And this wasn't my test by the way, I'm just curious to see what its general difficulty is. :D
