It doesn't seem to be consistent how many skills I must level up in order to gain a character level. It also doesn't seem to be a whole number, since I currently have about 2 pixels of bar left to get from level 3 to level 4. What is the formula like for determining when the character gains a level, based on what skills level?
Every time you level a skill you earn the level you earned in XP to level.
Skill level earned = XP gained toward next level
Example: You just earned level 26 in Smithing. This will give you 26 points of XP toward your next level.
The number of XP to level for a specific level is equal to the following:
25x(Current Level - 1)+100 = XP to level
Example: You are level 32 trying to level to 33.
25x(32-1)+100= 875 XP required
This would mean that you would require 875 XP from leveling skills to reach level 33. One thing to remember is you will probably almost never start a level at 0 XP because of XP earned from the last level. This means that while 875 XP would be required it will take slightly less than that to actually level.
Just a notice... I did not come up with this information but as far as I can tell it seems exactly correct. I found the information here:
Note: I am using the term XP arbitrarily seeing as there is not any place within the game (that I am aware of) that actually refers to XP.
Note 2: I think the difficulty with leveling over 50 is that 50 is not very far from being half way to earning the Max number of Skill levels earned. I think the number 50 was probably just a rough estimate (being a "nicer" number than say 53 or something like that). Also, considering if a player would normally focus on less than half of the skills than after maxing some you would begin leveling lower level skills around this point. This would amplify the perceived needed skill levels to level because you would be gaining less XP toward your next level from these lower level skills. All of these things combined would mean that to a player the perceived XP to level would seem higher. This perception could be offset a bit leveling all of the skills evenly while progressing through the game. Though... it is still only perception really and it could have other implications like some of your skills being to weak for the current progression point that the enemies are at.
As for leveling skills my guess it is probably the same type of linear increase for XP to level but that information would be much more difficult to derive. Now... if there were only a console command that would spit out these values.
Edit: MORE TESTING
Since this was not marked as an answer and rightly so... I decided to do some testing... actually reversing the entire calculation using my skill levels to which... in theory... should give me exactly what level and how far I am to the next level. Though I have no way of knowing exactly what percent I am to the next level... judging from how far the bar is... it seems exactly correct.
To get the the Total XP required to reach a level I came up with this additional formula (which I simplified as much as i could):
(n-2)(n-1)(12.5)+100(n-1)=Total XP to Level
n = Level
Also, to get the Base XP you start with in the game (because skill levels do not start at 0) I came up with the value 2815.
So... to test with your own character... calculate the acquired XP from every skill. Add them all together. Subtract the starting value (because this xp did not get earned and did not count toward level 2 (from starting at level 1).
(Skill XP Total - Base XP)
Calculate the amount of XP that was required to get to your current level... then calculate the next level. Your current XP value should fall between these 2 values. You can also easily calculate the percentage you are to the next level using what you have and compare your calculation to an approximation by looking at your bar in game. Just for notes I will also post my scrap notes from my calculations when I did it for my character.
1 skill at 25 325xp x 1 = 325xp
5 skills at 20 210xp x 5 = 1050xp
12 skills at 15 120xp x 12 = 1440xp
Base XP 2815
16 = 16x17x0.5 = 136
Another way to compute this : When you try to estimate how many XP you earned from a skill you just need to add each skill level above the starting skill level : Exemple : A skill started at 15 and now is 18 so :
18+17+16 = 51xp
So now if we consider that we have a skill at N level we have : 1+2+3...+N xp but we need to substract the "starting skill xp" 1+2+3...+15 xp = 120xp if we consider S the starting skill level we obtain : (1+2+3...+N) - (1+2+3...+S)
Now we know a math formula that will help us : Add the N firsts integers is equivalent to (1+2+3...+N) = (N+1)+((N-1)+2)+((N-2)+3)... = (N+1)*(N/2)
so we can replace the approximation formula (n-2)(n-1)(12.5)+100(n-1) by (N+1)(N/2)-(S+1)(S/2) which is the exact formula where N is current skill level and S is starting skill level.
So I read through GoblinLord's accepted answer and tested it. It all works great and matches my own character. I just want to add some supplementary information, but I realize that doing so would really change the content of his post. This is about what the mechanics mean in practical terms.
The one thing that I found most interesting is how the actual math explains several things.
The soft cap
Skill level vs character level
How many skill levels
There is a fairly comprehensive article about Skyrim's Leveling up on UESP.
Excerpt from the article:
I think the mathmatical answer to this question is actually a formula (that I don't know) as Todd Howard, Bethesda's game director, says
As found in this article.

Salvation Army Prepares to Serve Ahead of Massive Winter Storm
Across the country The Salvation Army is making preparations for the massive winter storm forecast to bear down today and tomorrow on states stretching from the Midwest all the way to the Northeast.
Feeding locations and mobile kitchens are being stocked and readied to serve hot meals in many areas. Pending a review of tonight's expected conditions, The Salvation Army in Nebraska hopes their Winter Night Watch (WNW) program will be able to roam the streets of Omaha to distribute food and drinks to the homeless, as well as winter outerwear for those in need.
As temperatures drop into the teens and negative digits, the homeless or anyone in need of a safe, warm place is encouraged to head to Salvation Army warming centers open across Missouri, Nebraska, Iowa, Illinois and other states. Specific addresses are being reported by the local media or can be found by contacting your nearest Salvation Army.
In Chicago, where they're predicting historic blizzard conditions, the city's Emergency Services Director has announced they will be partnering with The Salvation Army, the Red Cross, and other organizations to effectively coordinate storm response. Many of our Salvation Army Divisions, in fact, are participating in conference calls today to plan with local governments and other entities.
If you or your loved ones are in the storm's path, we hope you stay warm and safe over these next few days.
Check back soon for updates on The Salvation Army's efforts.

The textbook I'm using has a somewhat confusing proof of one of the directions of Heine-Borel's Theorem, namely the one that states that a closed and bounded subset of $\mathbb R^n$ is compact. It uses sequences and "Changing the centers" to 'move' the balls to $\mathbb Q^n$ and then constructs a sequence which leads to a contradiction, the latter of which I'm confused about.
Could someone give me a more coherent proof in the same style or point me in the direction of a fairly understandable proof?

Sales growth among vendors is a leading indicator of the overall performance of the bio/pharmaceutical industry because vendor sales are derived from demand for materials biologics production. If vendors are doing welll and are optimistic for the future, the bio/pharmaceutical industry is likely to follow. Supplier respondents indicated that, on average, sales growth is currently at approximately 14% annually, up from 13.0% in 2010 and 14.1% in 2007.BIOPHARMA'S BUDGET TRENDS
These overall trends are in large part resulting from global shifts that continue to drive the bio/pharmaceutical industry. Below are trends we project in 2012 specifically relating to biomanufacturing.
Internationalization. The bio/pharmaceutical industry continues to expand globally, driven by the need for prudent expansion of infrastructure, presence in new markets, and cost savings through outsourcing and offshoring, including R&D, which is traditionally performed in established high-technology regional clusters.
Biomanufacturing capacity also is increasing outside established markets. Although the US and Western Europe remain the leaders in biopharmaceutical manufacturing capacity, more than 37% of bioreactor capacity is operating in other parts of the world, including nearly 10% in Japan and the Pacific Rim, 9% in China, and more than 8% in India (2). Western product developers also are joining with local companies, such as in the local manufacture of vaccines. As more biopharmaceutical manufacturing is performed worldwide, product developers are working to standardize their products and manufacturing processes, which involves simplifying their manufacturing processes, so they can be reliably performed with consistent product produced even in facilities in lesser developed counties.
Single-use manufacturing. The trend toward more global standardized manufacturing is contributing to the adoption of single-use/disposable bioprocessing equipment, which allow the same manufacturing systems to be shipped and installed at multiple facilities. Some companies, with major vaccine manufacturers among the leaders, are starting to think more in terms of selling full manufacturing and technology packages, including all needed equipment and technology transfer, not just finished end-products, to foreign countries that are seeking local manufacture of vaccines for domestic distribution. Companies, such as GE and Biologics Modular, for example, are developing fully modular, drop-in-place-type, and equipment preinstalled or simply installed single-use bioprocessing-based facilities to address the interest for prepackaged biopharmaceutical manufacturing facilities.
Single-use bioprocessing technologies: In 2011, single-use/disposable bioprocessing systems further increased their dominance for the manufacture of biopharmaceuticals for preclinical R&D and clinical testing. Single-use systems dominate noncommercial-scale biopharmaceutical manufacturing in most regions. Single-use systems are increasingly being adopted for upstream manufacturing, such as adoption of single-use bioreactors and other upstream equipment. Despite dominance within precommercialization manufacturing segments, single-use systems remain a relatively small market compared with fixed stainless-steel equipment, capturing only approximately 10% of the overall bioreactor market. Stainless steel remains the preference for commercial GMP manufacturing. In as short as 10 years (approximately about how long it takes a biopharmaceutical to reach the market), half or even more of new commercial biopharmaceutical manufacturing systems can be expected to be largely or fully single-use based.
Microbial manufacturing. Most industry attention in recent years, including blockbuster products and manufacturing technology development, has concentrated on recombinant proteins produced by mammalian cell culture. Mammalian cell-culture capacity and facilities continue to dominate worldwide biopharmaceutical manufacturing (2). Microbial manufacturing remains relatively stable with few new technologies, and few major bioprocessing equipment developers announcing novel devices. A confluence of trends, however, is contributing to increased use of microbial (i.e., bacteria, yeasts, and other fungi) host cells for recombinant-protein manufacture.
Outsourcing. Companies of all sizes worldwide continue to increase their outsourcing, particularly R&D and manufacturing. These activities include increasing the use of CROs, particularly for high-throughput screening, lead identification, toxicological studies as well as greater use of CMOs for commercial manufacturing. Based on the BioPlan annual survey that evaluates 24 outsourced activities, the primary outsourced activities include product-characterization testing, with 70% of biopharmaceutical companies outsourcing at least some of this activity. Other tasks routinely outsourced include validation services (69% of biomanufacturers cited), toxicity testing (65%), analytical testing/bioassays (61.1%), and fill–finish operations (60.0%). Relatively few companies have outsourced all of their manufacturing, but nearly one-half of surveyed manufacturers expect to increase their budgets for biopharmaceutical CMO outsourcing.

That is Ext 1.x code! That won't work in Ext 3.
ps. You probably don't have an element with id="mygrid" or you are not creating your grid from Ext.onReady().

Challenge! This is your wake up call!
It's a challenge! It's really early in the morning on the west coast, and I'm looking at alarm clocks. Here's your criteria.
1. Kind of cheap. Obvs.
2. A musical alarm would be kind of nice. I'm tired of the buzzer on my phone. Not gonna lie, it's super effective.
3. Maybe something I could recharge my old iphone with at the same time too (don't have a 5, so good time to stock up on those sort of accessories?)
4. The numbers on the clock shouldn't be huge or obnoxiously bright.
Or, recommend good iApps that are more fun than the basic clock.
Ready, set, go! :)
As a bonus and thanks please accept this coffee picture.

I have this guy by JVC, and I quite like it.
My biggest complaint with it is that it's not very intuitive to set the time or alarm time, but since I don't actually have to do that very often, it's not a big deal.
You can turn the number display light completely off, which I usually do. Perfectly visible during the day, and not all shinypants at night. Light comes on when alarm goes off.
Alarm can be set to ipod music, radio, or super-obnoxious beep. AND, it only lets you snooze a couple of times before it refuses to let you be a giant lazyass anymore and forces you to turn it completely off.
Also, I know it was a lot cheaper when I bought it, so perhaps you can find a better price elsewhere.
I like Alarm Clock Xtreme on my android devices. Very versatile and I believe will do what you want including custom music files and even services. Don't know if they make it for iCrap or not.
That reminds me of this old derby entry:
As to your clock issue, an app would probably fit the bill best, and it probably comes with reviews.
Here's one
edit: here's another Nightstand Central
This sometimes makes iphone charger stuff hard to find, but if bright LEDs or clock numbers will bother you avoid any colour lights except red. Blue or white or grey lights will bother you if you're sensitive to light when you sleep. Personally, I can see them through my eyelids and it drives me nuts. Must have red liiiiight.
My phone actually makes a fantastic alarm. I keep it next to my bed and I have the ringer at one or two ticks past the midpoint. You can set it to any tone, I think you can set it to a song. If not you can always make a tone (plenty of free ways, or you can buy one) and set that to your alarm.
There are a few decent clock/ alarm apps, but honestly the one that comes with iOS has been my favorite.
I like Alarm Clock + on Android. I don't know if they have it for iOS devices.
I have multiple alarms setup with different songs (Plain White Tees - Rhythm of Love at 5:30 for working out, Toto - Africa at 6:30 if I decide against working out, Crossfire - Hydra at 7:00 if I am getting snooze happy). It also has the nice feature of being forced to do math questions to dismiss the alarm (I don't have this feature set personally).
The Snooze button is huge and the dismiss is smaller. Its a great app!
This has been sitting in my attic for about a year (since I sold my ipod)... I think it's only works with the iphone 3g though. But I'd send it to you for free lol
I love this alarm clock.
It's cheap
It will charge your phone
The one thing I really like that others might not that it has a bed shaker that you put under your pillow. When the alarm goes off, it shakes till you wake up. If you do not like it, you can not turn the part on.
The clock comes in black, white, blue and pink. Sorry, no purple :(
Also, the speakers work very well. I have played my music through this many times.
If you have an iPhone, the bundled "Clock" software is actually pretty great. Here's why:
-It's free and, even among the paid apps, the best (paid apps are often unreliable and fail to sound, particularly if you are not diligent about having it running when you go to bed).
-As of ios 6, it allows you to use music from your iTunes library.
-Super-simple user interface.
-Innumerable alarm options.
-Internal speakers are plenty loud.
Sure, you could cough up $50 for an alarm clock speaker dock, but the iPhone is perfectly adequate by itself. Plug it into a wall charger and toss it under the bed -- not only will the loud, reliable alarm program wake you up, but you'll have to dig around under your bed to find it.
That said, if you want a fun paid app, use Nightstand. It is pretty, functional and has great features: slide for brightness and (my favorite) place it screen-down and the screen shuts off (turns back on when you turn the phone over).
@thepenrod: Agreed. I use Alarm Clock Xtreme for Android as well -- super versatile.
I imagine that they have something similar for iDevices...
That would be the route I would go rather than buying another/separate standalone alarm clock...
Another vote here for Nightstand.

Legendary Husker Football Coach, current University of Nebraska Athletic Director and former Congressman Dr. Tom Osborne will provide the keynote address as part of the Phi Beta Lambda (PBL) Undergraduate Research Conference at 7 p.m. this Friday, April 13 in the Peru State College Theatre. The event is free and open to the public.
PBL Advisor and Assistant Professor of Business Sheri Grotrian-Ryan said, "The Undergraduate Research Conference provides PBL members an opportunity to demonstrate their leadership to see a project through from start to finish. It's a great way for students across campus to showcase their work. We are ecstatic to host a Nebraska legend, Dr. Tom Osborne, as our keynote speaker. It is sure to be a memorable event for all involved."
Hall of Fame and three-time national champion football coach, Osborne assumed the role of the University of Nebraska - Lincoln athletic director in 2007. Osborne, who also served the state of Nebraska in the U.S. House of Representatives, is one of the winningest college football coaches of all time with 255 victories in his 25 seasons as NU's coach from 1973 to 1997.
Widely known for his leadership, integrity, honor and compassion, Osborne and his wife, Nancy, have poured time and effort into building the TeamMates mentoring program, which provides support and encouragement to school-aged youth with the goal of seeing children graduate from high school and pursue a post-secondary education.
PBL is a state and national business association. The organization's Undergraduate Research Conference is interdisciplinary and encourages topics from all areas of study. Students can enter their work in four different categories, including paper, poster, presentation and/or Website. Winners in each category will be awarded $500. Those finishing second in each category will receive $100. The theme is Mission Impossible: Overcoming Obstacles in Today's Society.
Two Peru State students won national championships at PBL's National Leadership Conference last year and seven others placed in the top 10 in each of their categories.
Will Fogle, a senior computer management information systems major from Peru, won first place in the category of Database Design & Applications. He also won second place honors in the Computer Applications category. Mike Mulroney, a junior human performance systems management major from Fort Dodge, Iowa, earned first place in Justice Administration.

Infection Prevention and Antimicrobial Resistance
At the dawn of the antibiotic era, resistant pathogens were rare. Antimicrobial use permitted resistant organisms to thrive within treated patients, but it is the movement of resistant microbes between individuals, communities, and nations that has led to a world where all are at risk of an untreatable infection.
Thus any comprehensive strategy to address the threat of antimicrobial resistance must aim to decrease the transmission of resistant organisms – in homes, communities, healthcare settings, food chains, water supplies, and international trade routes. The key element is improved hygiene.
For patients seeking medical care, healthcare providers have a particular responsibility to avoid patients acquiring infections as the result of medical decisions and interventions. Healthcare-associated infections are one of the primary causes of death and suffering in hospitalized patients throughout the world, so infection prevention is rightly considered to be a cornerstone of patient safety.

Discover Research Tools for Textual Study
Discursis is a tool for analyzing text-based natural language with a focus on sequential analysis. It is particularly desgined to work with texts that have an internal temporal structure, such as a transcribed conversation. For each text, it generates a statistics-based internal language model and applies tagging to each temporal unit detected. The model and tagging are then used as the basis for an interactive visualization which permits examination at a various levels of granularity, ranging from a whole-text to a unit-by-unit level; it can also show topic usage patterns within the text. Users must purchase a license; both student and academic trial licenses are available.
Umigon is a free, web-based and open-source tool for sentiment analysis of tweets. From a person's Twitter handle, Umigon retrieves that account's tweets and processes it for sentiment with accounting for factual statements (ex: "I hate war" will be classified has negative, and "war in Syria" will be classified as neutral). Tweets can also be pasted manually in the entry box provided. Beyond sentiment analysis, Umigon can identify characteristics such as whether the tweet contains a question, whether it contains possible promotional/commercial subject matter, or temporal indicators based on tense. Users are encouraged to report inaccurately identified sentiments via the button provided next to each tweet. Results can be exported in Excel or CSV format for futher analysis.
The developer of this application can be reached on Twitter.
CheckText is a free, web-based text analysis tool. Users can paste in text, upload it from their files, or import content from a web page. For each text, CheckText generates statistics such as word count, syllable count or number of complex words, provides a reading ease and level breakdown, and graphs the most frequent words. The tool also offers a uniqueness check aimed at detecting plagiarism, and generates a PDF report containing the full text with the statistical and readability data.
Alt.Text is a free, working prototype application for exploring a text on both an outline and content level via a graphical user interface. It breaks down texts into components such as sections, passages or documents, and permits users to leverage these components to create outlines and break off sections. Alt.Text includes three interfaces: the Document Editor (define sections, create outlines), the Section Editor (define passages of text within a given section), and the Outline Viewer (choose which passages to include in an outline section). Alt.Text is under active development, and is available for download in both Windows and OS X versions.
Paper Machines is a topic modelling and visualization tool available as a plugin for Zotero. It analyzes Zotero bibliographic collections based on a selection of text mining processes, and enables users to export a variety of visualizations, such as word clouds, phrase nets or heat maps, from the results.
CATMA (Computer Aided Textual Markup and Analysis) is a free, open source markup and analysis tool from the University of Hamburg's Department of Languages, Literature and Media. It incorporates three interactive modules, a tagger enabling textual markup and markup editing, an analyzer incorporating a query language and predefined functions, and a query builder that allows users to construct queries from combinations of pre-defined questions while allowing for manual modification for more specific questions. It also interfaces with the Voyant toolset. As of version 4.1, CATMA is a web application with collaborative work functions, and improvements to its user interface, queries and corpus analysis capacity.

Is Big-O notation always reliable?
For example:
Algorithm A: $n * 10^{100} = \mathcal{O}\left(n\right)$
Algorithm B: $n^{1.001} = \mathcal{O}\left(n^{1.001}\right)$
According to Big-$\mathcal{O}$ notation, Algorithm $A$ would be more efficient, yet for all practical purposes Algorithm $B$ is more efficient. In a situation like this, wouldn't Big-O notation fail? Is there a way to avoid such problems?


text: I believe it was made late 1970's early 1980's and was on VHS, it was definately in color and an american movie. The star/hero is a criminal, he breaks into an aircraft hangar to steal a "computer cartridge" I think. He is disturbed and to escape flies a private space craft (looked like a streamlined version of the craft used in dark star) through the hangar doors damaging the craft forcing it into a "5 year" I think, orbit. As the craft is leaving the atmosphere he sees giant mother ship/s approaching earth. The spaceship's artificial intelligence is a female voice. When he returns he passes a defence satelite built by the aliens but staffed by humans who self destruct the satelite preventing the aliens knowing of his return. When he lands on earth a woman on horse back takes him to her camp (the whole film is in country type settings) where they discover who he is. The cartridge he stole is the key to a genetic weapon built by humans just before the invasion that can kill anyperson or group by entering their dna code. The aliens were humanoid with faces like a cross between a pig and gorilla. They build bases which are mounds of dirt and they happen to build one directly over this secret underground dna weapon. The hero/thief then meets up with the scientist who built the weapon, who has now become a gang leader and together they work their way into where the weapon is. Once there they are faced with a problem they don't know the genetic code of the aliens. Their solution is to kill everything not native to earth. I have been trying to track this down for the last 20 years or so. Thanks Andrew

Where can I look for equations of fluid motion written in terms of nifty things from differential geometry like exterior derivative, Hodge dual, musical isomorphism?
Preferably both with and without assumption of Newton viscosity model.
Since one can get momentum and continuity equation from the full energy equation + Galileo transform, maybe this one will suffice though continuity equation would be nice as a simple example.

Mostly you come across people who hate you at your back and some times in front of you too and they keep on irritating you. I was reading 7 Habbits of Highly Efficient People and I came across this quote,
"Treat a man as he is and he will remain as he is. Treat a man as he can and should be and he will become as he can and should be."
In the light of this quote, can anyone explain me how to deal with such people? I actually don't get what the author meant here.
Thanks in advance.

Feeling a little disconnected in my work, I recently joined a new STC chapter near me. Although I miss Texas so very much, I think that developing new connections here will help me out. I would welcome more activity in this area of the STC website, however, giving me some stronger connections to "folks back home". Would love to connect in a chatroom, or even on the wall here, with anyone interested. (My work location is Port Moresby, Papua New Guinea.)

My question refers to an overview of the biggest stars we know: http://farm5.static.flickr.com/4138/4820647230_faba1c9f3b_o.jpg

My question refers to an overview of the biggest stars we know: http://farm5.static.flickr.com/4138/4820647230_faba1c9f3b_o.jpg
Why are some of those blue?
dmckee's right: the picture you link to shows stars, not planets.
The color of a star is almost entirely determined by its temperature. The light coming from a star is, to a good approximation, blackbody radiation (except for absorption lines in its spectrum, which are very important tools for learning about the star but have little effect on its color). The spectrum of a blackbody depends on its temperature, in such a way that it shifts from longer to shorter wavelengths as the temperature increases. So hot stars look blue, and cool stars look red. Even cooler objects, such as you, don't glow significantly at all in the visual part of the spectrum but do in the infrared.
At the moment, we know little or nothing about the colors of planets other than those in our solar system. Extrasolar planets are detected indirectly, via their effect on the star they orbit. They are not yet seen directly themselves.
I guess that some or many planets of this kind are similar to Uranus but I can't guarantee that the chemical composition below is universal for blue planets.
Uranus' atmosphere is composed of hydrogen, helium, and methane. Methane in the upper atmosphere is what matters: it absorbs red light from the Sun but reflects the blue light.
The Earth is blue mostly because of the oceans of liquid water that have a similar optical property as methane on Uranus.

I recently purchased my first home. It has two bathrooms and the water pressure in both is less than ideal. What are some steps I can take to increase the pressure?
This is an effective trick a plumbing contractor once told me.
Go to your local home improvement store and buy a cheap shower head (the one I picked up cost $1.50). If you look down inside of the showerhead you'll see a washer which constricts the water flow. If you take a drill and enlarge the hole, thereby increasing flow, the water pressure will increase. I didn't think it would work but it did!!
If you want to go the expensive route, there are pumps you can purchase that will attach to the piping and add pressure to the water. I've heard of such a thing but never looked for one.
In the U.S., shower heads are required by government regulation to restrict water flow in order to save water and energy. By law, they must deliver less than 2.5 gallons per minute. For this reason, many shower heads will deliver less than ideal flow and/or pressure. To get around the law, and benefit those with less-than-stellar water pressure, many showerheads (e.g., the Waterpik I recently bought) come with instructions for removing the flow regulator. If you've discarded those instructions, a quick Google search should be all you need to figure out how to remove the flow regulator in your shower head.
Low pressure can be caused by old galvanized pipe, which often build up deposits causing the water to be restricted.
Another cause of low pressure can be incorrect pipe size. I like to run a 3/4" trunk line with 1/2" legs to fixtures (which I think is pretty common).
Some houses have pressure reducing valves on the supply line, which are used to control the water pressure inside the house. Here's a video explaining how to adjust this valve.
These answers all assume the pressure is low in the whole house. If it's just the shower see the other answers.
One thing to check before replacing items is the inline filter (if present). When my shower was performing poorly, I unscrewed the head and found a small mesh screen in the line that was clogging up. I cleaned it out and screwed everything back together to find my pressure right back where I expected it. :)
Is it the water pressure for the whole bathroom, or just the shower that's sub-par? Before I bought a house, my last apartment had really poor pressure in the shower, but the bathtub faucet was fine. I removed the shower head to see if that was the cause, and sure enough, there was plenty of water pressure in the shower, it was just the cheapo shower head that the apartment had installed. I bought a Waterpik and it solved everything.
Every Lowe's or Home Depot and other places like that have a shower head that looks something like this and I find I get a much more satisfactory result when I have low water pressure. It's just got a concentrated, small diameter of holes, and solid brass insides. They tend to run anywhere from 4-12 bucks depending on where you go and what brand is available in that store at that moment. Anyway, while they don't increase the flow, and they don't increase the pressure, they seem to at least concentrate the flow and improve the experience, and you don't need to alter them.
Nearly all shower heads sold in the USA are fitted with self adjusting pressure regulators manufactured by one company. The purpose of the regulator is to maintain a constant flow of water exiting the shower head regardless of the pressure entering it (30-80 psi). The problem with their design is that the regulators easily plug up with solids in the water. When they clog up, the pressure and the flow rate entering the shower head are reduced and the resulting spray is weak. This will happen regardless of the pressure upstream of the regulator, so raising the water pressure entering the home will probably not affect the performance of the shower head. In addition, the regulators are always found inside the shower heads and are nearly impossible to reach for cleaning. The solution is to find a shower head that will not clog up and will deliver a full, strong spray over a long period of time. I know a little about shower heads, as I am the founder and manufacturer of a very unique shower head.
If you have well water, the pressure in the holding tank may not be correct. The cut in and cut out pressures may need to be calibrated.
Try the trick that was mentiond about widening the plastic hold in shower head this also works for the airators in sink fauset if it doesn't help then consider replacing the shower body. If its only in the bathroom if it's the hold house then check water heater and or boiler psi.

Images show woman on Chicago train with alligator
Published: Wednesday, November 13, 2013 at 10:31 a.m.
Last Modified: Wednesday, November 13, 2013 at 10:31 a.m.
CHICAGO (AP) — After tracking down a small alligator scurrying around in a baggage claim area at Chicago's O'Hare International Airport, authorities are now hunting for its traveling companion.
The Chicago Transit Authority has released a series of images showing a woman who they believe rode to the airport on a CTA Blue Line train with the 2-foot-long gator in the early morning hours of Nov. 1.
Thanks to one of the most extensive surveillance systems in the United States, officials know this about the alligator's trip to O'Hare: It boarded a train at the Pulaski stop — with the woman — at 1:17 a.m. The security camera captured the woman petting her little friend on her knee as she talked on her cellphone.
An hour later, the woman, presumably with the alligator, disembarked the train at the airport. Then, at 2:44 a.m., she is again recorded by the security cameras near the O'Hare stop, but with no alligator.
An airport employee found the alligator later in the day under an escalator near baggage claim No. 3 (Insert alligator bag joke here). Police captured he reptile by trapping it beneath a trash can.
Not only did officials give the alligator a name — Allie — but it was handed over to people who could care for it, just in the nick of time.
"He's in pretty bad shape and was probably not being fed a proper diet," Jason Hood, president of the Chicago Herpetalogical Society, told The (Arlington Heights) Daily Herald at the time. The society took custody of the alligator.
As for the woman, she could be in trouble because while carrying an alligator bag may be considered stylish, carrying a live alligator is a crime. Hood said the Illinois Dangerous Animals Act makes it illegal to own an alligator in the state.
Further to that, the CTA said she could be in yet more trouble.
"Those responsible for this act can face a misdemeanor charge of cruel treatment of an animal or face a fine of $300 to $1,000 for cruelty to animals for abandoning the animal in a public place," the authority said in a news release.
CTA did not explain how it knows — for certain — that the alligator spotted on the train is the same animal captured at the airport.

this may be kind of an odd question. My friend has challenged me. So somehow, he change the "port" of his site to 31337. If you just go to domain.com, you get redirected to google, to access the real site you go to domain.com:31337. He is going to change it again and he is challenging me to find out which port it is. Is this possible without guessing? Hopefully someone can help! Thanks. Oh, and is this the right stack exchange site to post this on...

It's difficult to tell what is being asked here. This question is ambiguous, vague, incomplete, overly broad, or rhetorical and cannot be reasonably answered in its current form. For help clarifying this question so that it can be reopened, visit the help center.If this question can be reworded to fit the rules in the help center, please edit the question.
Use nmap to port scan you can perform all types of scans some without being detected. If the port is open you'll find it there's no way to hide an open port.
This is such a vast topic (yes, for doing a simple task, many many methods). It would be impossible for me to say anything but this: You are looking for a port scanner. It can be written in any language under the sun, from PHP to C to Perl, Delphi, Python, whatever. You can run it from your local computer (executable) or from a website (remotely).
Now be warned: some firewalls will detect your scans, and maybe blacklist your IP for (example, Project Honeypot). This could land you in some nasty places. So use this only for your friend's game.
Basically how it works though, is your script or program will send a few packets (of varying species) to essentially every port from 0-65535 on the remote host. A stealth scan only sends partial packets, just enough to register that the host is 'listening' on that port, so that it can evade some firewalls or be (less) traceable.
I advise you take a read: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Port_scanner
You can use any port scanner - nmap being one of the most common.
Since this is your friend's machine and its a challenge, a full connect scan should not be a problem. A full connect will not only find the ports that are open but will also find the services/applications listening on it.
I just did a quick nmap scan from on my own linux box and in the output below you can see it detects the open ports, the service they are running and the application behind it. It shows that I am running webservers (http service) on 80 and 3000 which should be accessible on http://localhost:80 (same as http://localhost) and http://localhost:3000
The command I used is :
If you are on windows and want a nice GUI version of nmap, install zenmap

This program allows you to recover data from some corrupt Excel XLSX format spreadsheets or worksheets that Excel 2002 - 2013 refuse to open or recover. It allows you to convert that data to CSV files for re-import into new Excel files.
This program works as a rudimentary viewer and editor of corrupt and healthy XLSX format files without needing Excel installed. With it you can view how Excel slightly skews its stored raw data in the background which is then transformed and rounded off for display in the program.
Version 2.0 adds a zip repair pre-treatment. It also adds an "Alternatives" menu which provides links to other free and freeware resources for Excel recovery as well as commercial solutions.
See my S2 Recovery Tools for Microsoft Excel and Savvy Office Recovery projects here on Sourceforge. If successful, those programs can recovers formatting as well data whereas Corrupt XLSX Salvager only recovers data.
Formerly known as Corrupt XLSX2CSV and Corrupt Excel2CSV.
Corrupt XLSX Salvager Web Site
- View corrupt XLSX Excel 2007 or 2010 format files that Excel won't open.
- From a corrupt or normal XLSX file convert all the worksheets at once to CSV format or choose just one.
- Also serves as a viewer for XLSX file without the need for a Excel 2007 or 2010 installation.

Excel Repair Toolbox offered here are highly advanced and have strong built in data recovery algorithm that can produce desired results. By using this user can perform quick and accurate recovery of corrupt .XLS and .XLSX files.
it contains AD/SPY ware .
I could not recover my file with this software, I have used ExcelFIX and yes that I could recover my lost file. However, I'm seeing people that say that this software works fine, so I'm not sure about the power of Bambalam.
Bambalam there is other software that makes offers hosted on Sourceforge, for instance PDFCreator. I let the editors know. The adware is all opt/in and completely declinable. I don't like offers either, but my software had 50,000 downloads or more last year and I made only 25 dollars in donations. For the time being, the adware makes half my income and I'm below the poverty line in US...

My boss wants me to write a logs about what I do during my work day, and he wants me to write how much it takes to perform the given task and details.
Something like:
- Revising the CSS of the main page 20 minutes / done
- Writing a new module for custumer support 2 days / partially done
is there any software that helps me do so or should I simply write mine?
I really dont like using flat files they just start growing to the infinity.

When I apply the coupon code, the checkout screen dims and doesn't let me interact with it at all. Weird.

If you type the code and hit the enter button it works... but it tells you the code is expired.

King Abdullah chairs Cabinet session (10/1/12)
October 1, 2012
The Custodian of the Two Holy Mosques King Abdullah bin Abdulaziz chaired the Cabinet session at Al-Salam Palace in Jeddah this afternoon. At the outset, the Cabinet thanked the King for his approval of the latest expansion project at the Prophet's Mosque, which will allow the facility to accommodate up to 1.8 million worshippers. Then, the ministers reviewed the readiness of various governmental sectors and private bodies to serve pilgrims during the Hajj season. King Abdullah ordered all efforts be made to enable pilgrims to perform the Hajj rituals with ease and safety, stressing the importance of coordination and teamwork.
Turning to international relations, the Cabinet listened to a report on the activities of the Saudi delegation to the 79th session of the United Nations General Assembly. The ministers reiterated the Kingdom's positions on various global issues, as laid out by the speech delivered to the gathering by Vice Minister of Foreign Affairs Prince Abdulaziz bin Abdullah bin Abdulaziz. They also stressed the Kingdom's commitment to promoting the principles and aims of the United Nations in order to achieve the aspirations of security, prosperity and stability around the globe.
Addressing its remaining agenda items, the Cabinet approved the establishment of a "Public Transport Commission" with financial and administrative independence; approved two memoranda of understanding between the Saudi Interior Ministry's Financial Investigation Unit and both the Armenian Central Bank's Financial Control Center and the French Intelligence and Combating Illegal Financial Networks Agency for cooperation in the exchange of financial intelligence regarding money laundering and terror financing; approved the Kingdom's accession to the Postal Payment Services Agreement; and approved a memorandum of understanding between the Saudi Ministry of Water and Electricity and the South Korean Ministry of Lands, Transportation and Maritime Affairs.

32 bit computers can only store signed integers up to 232 - 1.
This is why we have run out of ipv4 addresses and have entered the 64 bit era.
However, the number 232 - 1 (2,147,483,647) is not as large as the number 1 trillion (1,000,000,000,000) which I seem to be able to display fine without my machine crashing.
Can someone explain why this is?

In full view (when I can see all items in the top menu) my url to pages works well - the url is mypage.com/mysite. When I resize my window so I can see the drop-down top menu for pages, or see my page in my cell phone the pages links are broken. The links to my pages now does not contain page name but page id - mypage.com/111. Why would the behavior be different? This is very strange for me….
My hosting is on newarlyfreespeech. I have added .htaccess with correct premissions and save several times. I see that after saving permlink settings the file changes. .htaccess is located in the root of my wordpress install. Running WP 3.5.1 + theme should be also compatible with 3.5.1.
Any help more than appreciated.

I'm wondering if anyone has recommendations of alternative ways of presenting data that is "tabular" than a datagrid.
Can anyone point to some examples of this?
I'm wondering if anyone has recommendations of alternative ways of presenting data that is "tabular" than a datagrid.
Can anyone point to some examples of this?
I'd suggest considering the 80-20 rule, and evaluating precisely what most of your users would be trying to determine from a grid. Then see if you can answer that question more automatically without resorting to all that raw data. Capture the common cases, and then you might still offer them a grid as a last resort.
Anecdotally: a city I lived in started putting GPS units in buses so you could look at a map and watch them as they moved. It's great data certainly... but watching the icons move on the map was information overload. I simply wanted an indicator that would light up and mean "leave your office now and you'll reliably make a bus without having to wait for more than 5 minutes".
I think that datagrids are often like that animated bus map; wasting code on user interface while leaving too much of the data processing and extrapolation of its consequence to the user...
(Incidentally if you're looking at grids, I had some recent experience with jqGrid and it wasn't terrible as JavaScript things go. :P)
I think this question can be generalized to "If I have a grid of values, when should I use a table to display them, and when should I use a graph".
Stepehn Few gives great advice about this question in his book "Show Me the Numbers", here is an extract from the book refering to this specific topic:
Quoting him:
Charts are good for a few "columns" of data.
I eschew data grids entirely in my applications, and I work in an accounting center where everyone's catch-all solution is Excel. My job is largely about designing solutions for all the stuff that should not have been crammed into Excel in the first place.
I really like to use repeaters.
I work a lot with Windows Presentation Foundation, which is infinitely flexible in terms of templating data.
The value of using repeaters is that users can still quickly scan values based on the consistency of your item template, but within each item, instead of a very wide row, you can have a tidier arrangement of elements and they can be given relative weighting based on size and position. The element that a person (not a computer or database) will likely scan by, such as a name, can be more prominent. Less important data can be smaller and lighter in colour. Related information can be grouped. Data within the row that would make more sense in a vertical arrangement can be stacked vertically, like a contact's phone, fax, and cell numbers.
Charts ...
Lots of charts...

With all of Gmail's changes, I've lost the ability to file my emails into my created labels. Instead, they now stay in my inbox, with the named label listed on the subject line; thus voiding the point of my labels and making the only way to thin my inbox is to delete.
I have filters that labels emails and to get them out if the inbox you have to mark the option (when creaing the filter, or editing the exitsings that you have) "skip inbox", so they will go directly to the label.

Bridgeport Council
October 27, 2013
Dear Village Residents, This is in response to a letter that was recently mailed out to some village residents, by the mayor's daughter, Shirleann Murad, who is also the mother of council candidate......
Her letter is a sign of desperation. People with common sense will see through these lies. The voters will answer on Election Day. You three have my vote, Mr. Lenz.

Well stated Mr. Lenz!

The entire family is ignorant and power hungry. The entire village can see it. It's always slightly obvious when a particular family tries to extinguish great people and bring in more of their own crooked family members. Perform some background checks on the mayors family and decide if you'd like them running your city. Their crimes portrayed in NATIONAL news stories will save you the hassle for the background check. I say let them continue running the city into the ground. It will be eventually uncovered and perhaps they'll finally get what's coming to them.

Experts: Address gun law's impact on jobs
Connecticut is home to three of the biggest names in gun making, Mossberg, Sturm Ruger and Colt. It also has several other firearms makers that together provide about 3,000 jobs in a state that has been losing its industrial base for years. Last month, the Labor Department reported another 400 manufacturing jobs had disappeared in Connecticut.
