The Coyote Catalog, a statewide effort connecting coyote hunters and trappers with landowners who want fewer coyotes in their areas, has been reopened by the North Dakota Department of Agriculture and the North Dakota Game and Fish Department.
"I encourage landowners, especially farmers and ranchers who have problems with coyote depredation, to sign up for the Coyote Catalog," said Agriculture Commissioner Doug Goehring. "Hunting and trapping are valuable tools in managing these predators."
Students interested in taking a hunter education class in 2015 should visit the North Dakota Game and Fish Department website at gf.nd.gov for a statewide list of courses. Many classes will be added over the next several weeks, and the rest will be added throughout the year as they are finalized.
To help North Dakota hunters prepare for hunting seasons in 2015, the North Dakota Game and Fish Department annually provides its best estimate for opening dates for the coming year.
Dates become official when approved by governor's proclamation. Tentative opening dates for 2015 include:
Spring Turkey
April 11
September 1
The North Dakota Game and Fish Department reminds winter anglers to clean up the ice after fishing. This not only applies to trash, but fish as well.
It is not only unsightly, but it is illegal to leave fish behind on the ice. According to the fishing proclamation, when a fish is caught anglers must either immediately release the fish back into the water unharmed, or reduce them to their daily possession.
It is common practice for some anglers to fillet fish on the ice, but if they don't clean up after themselves, it's a problem.
Winter anglers are reminded that any fish house left unoccupied on North Dakota waters must be made out of materials that will allow it to float.
A popular question this time of year is if campers qualify as legal fish houses. The answer is the same for any structure taken on the ice – if it's left unattended, it must be able to float; if it's not able to float, it must be removed when the angler leaves the ice.
Other fish house regulations include:
North Dakota waterfowl hunters are reminded the statewide duck and white-fronted goose seasons close Dec. 7. However, duck hunting in the high plains unit reopens Dec. 13 and continues through Jan. 4, 2015.
In addition, the season for Canada geese closes Dec. 25, except for the Missouri River Zone, which closes Jan. 2, 2015. Light goose hunting closes statewide Jan. 4, 2015.
The North Dakota Game and Fish Department's Becoming an Outdoors-Woman program has scheduled a one-day darkhouse spearfishing class Jan. 10 at the Upper Souris National Wildlife Refuge northwest of Minot.
North Dakota anglers are encouraged to refer to the 2014-16 North Dakota Fishing Guide or the State Game and Fish Department's website for winter fishing regulations.
In addition, anglers can visit the Game and Fish website, gf.nd.gov, for an extensive list of fishing questions and answers.
Some winter fishing regulations include:
North Dakota's darkhouse spearfishing season opens on most state waters Dec. 1. The season extends through March 15. Legal fish are northern pike and nongame species.
Darkhouse spearing is allowed for all residents with a valid fishing license and for residents under age 16. Nonresidents may darkhouse spearfish in North Dakota if they are from states that offer the same privilege for North Dakota residents.
Winter anglers and late-season hunters are reminded to consider ice conditions before traveling onto and across North Dakota lakes, as most small and mid-sized waters currently give the appearance of safe foot travel.
Organizers planning fishing tournaments, including ice fishing contests this winter, are reminded to submit an application along with fishing tournament regulations to the North Dakota Game and Fish Department at least 30 days prior to the start of the event.
The 30-day advance notice allows for review by agency staff to ensure the proposed tournament will not have negative consequences or conflicts with other proposed tournaments for the same location and/or time.
Hunters are reminded that several North Dakota national wildlife refuges open to late-season upland game bird hunting the day after the deer gun season closes.
Arrowwood, Audubon, Des Lacs, J. Clark Salyer, Lake Alice, Lake Zahl, Long Lake, Lostwood, Tewaukon (pheasants only), and Upper Souris NWRs open Nov. 24.

This link, when clicked would take you to the Google Translate page, auto detect the language, and translate it from Russian into English. The "+" symbols are needed between the words in the phrase to be translated to insure that Facebook includes the entire phrase in the link.

Ending your tenancy
When you end your council tenancy you must make arrangements with your local Vacant Management team to vacate the property and hand over all the keys.
Complete the form above to give us notice that you are planning to end your tenancy. We will contact you to make all the arrangements to end your tenancy.
In all circumstances you will be expected to provide vacant possession of the property and remove all rubbish and belongings.
- Returning your keys
We ask you to take your keys to your local Customer Service Centres (formerly known as neighbourhood offices. You will be advised of the address of your nearest office on your 'ending tenancy' letter and also at your pre-vacation visit. If you cannot get to a neighbourhood office, you can post your keys to us but they must be received before noon on your tenancy end date. All keys should be labelled with the property address and any garage keys should be labelled separately.
- After giving Notice
After you have given us notice that you intend to end your tenancy, you will receive an 'ending tenancy' letter which will confirm your tenancy end date and any remaining rent due. You must ensure that your remaining rent is paid before you leave the property.
The letter will also include an appointment for a pre-vacation visit, where appropriate.
We will also arrange for energy supplies to be transferred from the property to our preferred energy supplier.
- How much notice do I need to give?
You must give us four full weeks' notice, of your intention to end your council tenancy, to expire on a Monday, of your intention to end your council tenancy, except in specific circumstances such as where a tenant:
- Has died
- Is moving into residential care
- Is transferring to another council property
- Is moving to a housing association (registered social landlord) property after nomination by the council.
Exceptions can also be made at our discretion. To request a shorter notice period, contact your local void team for advice.
- My relative / next of kin has recently died. What do I need to do regarding their council tenancy?
Please complete the form at the top of the page. We will ask you whether there is an executor or a personal representative who has been appointed to manage the affairs of the deceased. If so, we will make the necessary arrangements with them.
In either case, we will require a copy of the death certificate, which you can attach online or post to us at PO Box 8267 as well as an estimate of the time required to clear the property and return the keys. An exception of the four week notice period is made in these circumstances.
The process for ending the tenancy is as described above.
- Can I withdraw my notice?
You can request to withdraw your notice before the tenancy end date, but the council may refuse this under certain circumstances. However, depending on when your notice is withdrawn, it may be too late to stop the transfer of energy supplies. This means the property may have a new energy supplier even though you have not requested a change of supplier.
- What is a pre-vacation visit?
Unless your tenancy is ended in exceptional circumstances, with a notice period of less than 28 days, we will make an appointment to visit you at your home before your tenancy end date.
At this visit we will discuss your rent account and explain what you need to do before you leave the property.
- What do I have to do before I leave my property?
All furniture, furnishing, carpets, clothing and rubbish both inside and outside of the property must be removed before the end of the tenancy, unless it was at the property when you moved in. If any items are left, you will be charged for their removal.
- Can't find what you're looking for?
If you haven't been able to find the information that you need then the link below will take you to a form that you can use to ask us further questions.Service Specific Enquiry - Tenancy Estate Management

When using jQuery, what is the syntax to set a lookup column to a value retrieved from another lookup column. I have been able to prepopulate a string column with a value retrieved from a lookup column, but am having trouble setting a lookup column to this value. How do I set the lookup column to the id of the value that the jQuery retrieved for me? Thank you.
Can you explain a little more? How are your lookup columns related?
If you take a look at my SPServices jQuery library, it may give you some clues. The way I read your question, you should probably just be setting to the text value, not bothering with the ID.
You can use the following:
the newValue could be an ordinal of the option or the displayed text equivalent of the option.

I am designing a new system and I want to know what inversion of control (IOC) is, and more importantly, when to use it.

migrated from stackoverflow.com Jan 23 '12 at 20:37
This question came from our site for professional and enthusiast programmers.
IoC (see Inversion of Control on Wikipedia) is applicable in cases where a component can not perform a task entirely because it doesn't have some necessary information or functionality.
The simplest example of an IoC pattern would be callback functions in C. For example you can declare the function:
Which iterates over
As the previous example shows, IoC allows you to decouple your program into separate components that don't know about each other. One of the most common versions of IoC is Dependecy Injection.
In Dependency Injection each component must declare a list of dependencies required to perform it's task. At runtime a special component (generally) called an IoC Container performs binding between these components. It tries to provide values for published component dependencies.
Here is an example in pseudo-code:
In this example class
You could create an instance of class
In summary, IoC allows you to decouple your program into separate parts. This is good because:
However in some cases, IoC can make code harder to understand.
If you want to see good example of real-world usage of IoC, have a look at Mircosoft Composite UI Application Block and CompositeWPF
I hope my explanation helps you.
Since I dug into this myself recently, and kept all the bookmarks, the following I found invaluable for learning about IOC/DI.
Martin Fowlers Original Article on IOC/DI
An excellent collection of IOC/DI Tutorials
Book on IOC/DI From Manning Press
Source and Explanation of how to create your own IOC - Cause reading source code is always the best way to understand a concept.
Hey JMS, basically IoC/DI will allow you to define which implementation you're using once, and keep a static copy of your container to reference each time you want to reference it.
The Wikipedia will probably help you, but I wanted to reference your second part - yes, dependency injection can be done for classes (ie, every time this class type needs to be passed to a method, use this class), but it's better to use interfaces, because that way you can change which version of a provider, repository, etc you're using just by re-referencing it in your setup.
IE, say you had an interface to read a stream in, and you had an XMLStreamReader and a SQLStreamReader implementation. Then you can pass the reference to the interface to your methods and then in your IoC container tell it which one to use.
So, you could have public List ReadPeople(IStreamReader reader) and in your setup for your IoC container tell it, every time you expect an IStreamReader use SQLStreamReader.
Then if you change your mind later, you only need to change it in the one place (the setup of your container) and it won't matter how many methods ask for an IStreamReader, it will always get the default you told your container to serve up.
Let's say you have a validator for checking whether or not a business is valid in your system. Your "BusinessValidator" may have a field of type AddressValidator which validates the address part of the business. If you want to test the BusinessValidator without executing outside code (i.e. the addressValidator code) then if you have used some sort of IoC/DI in your framework you can easliy "inject" a mock addressValidator in it's place and not have to worry about testing code outside the scope of the class under test.

During the events of chapters 27–31 of I Sh'muel (David's stay among the P'lishtim), David had the Urim V'sumim with him, as is clear from 23:2–6 and from 30:7–8. Yet in 28:6, Shaul consults Hashem via the "Urim". Radak ad loc. wonders how he could have done so, inasmuch as he was not with the Urim, and says "maybe he sent men there [=to David] to ask". M'tzudas David says the same. Bimchilas k'vodam, this explanation is unsatisfying. After all, Shaul was out to get David: it seems odd that he'd send him a peaceful messenger. Does anyone know of any other explanation of 28:6 in light of the fact that the Urim V'sumim were with David?

Ibn Ezra (Shemot 28:6 Peirush Aroch) suggests that someone who was familiar with asking through the Urim VeTumim would be capable of getting answers on occasion from the Ephod. (I think he is referring to the two stones on the shoulders that clipped to the Choshen, but I'm not sure.)
Thus David used the Ephod (which we know he had, per 23:6) and Shaul used the Urim.

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

How to uninstall the Grub and restore the Windows 8 system with secure boot and UEFI?
Simply use this tool from a live disc: OS-Uninstaller
I recommend the following:
Insert windows repair disk to restore the startup (grub). In Administrative tools in windows, delete the ubuntu partition and extend the windows partition to take up all free space.
here is a better way if under windows 8.
please note bootsec that is being mentioned over the internet works under windows 7 and other previous windows versions not win8.
please correct me if i m wrong.
After much stress, and looking everywhere for the answers I managed to do it manually. I removed Ubuntu and all the partitions I created for it. I booted into a Ubuntu Live-USB and opened the LSR partition created by windows which is filled with EFI files. I found and deleted all mentions of grub and a couple of other files and it removed grub from the startup. Hope that helps, it was more of a trial and error, there are a couple of files that don't belong which you need to delete and it will work fine.
You can just do it as you would if UEFI and "Secure Boot" were not involved, but re-enable "Secure Boot" in your firmware ("BIOS") before installing Windows. It might be even simpler though, depending on what you have set up right now and what you want to acccomplish.
Ubuntu supports (but does not require) "Secure Boot," so if you are dual-booting Ubuntu and Windows 8, you likely already have "Secure Boot" enabled, especially if it is the stock, OEM-provided Windows 8 installation. If that is the case, then there is no difference at all between the usual procedures for removing Ubuntu and making Windows bootable, and your situation.
If you just have Ubuntu installed now, and you want to remove Ubuntu, enable "Secure Boot," and just have Windows 8 installed (at least for the time being), then it is very simple. Just do one of the following:
If Windows 8 is already installed in a way that does not need "Secure Boot" (for example, a 32-bit Windows 8 installation), then probably it too will not work when Secure Boot is enabled. In that case, you would probably have to remove both Ubuntu and Windows 8, to enable "Secure Boot." So for that situation, you can just wipe your disk, enable "Secure Boot," and install Windows 8.
(Alternatively, if you wanted to try to make a non-"Secure Boot" Windows 8 installation work with "Secure Boot," or a "Secure Boot" Windows 8 installation work without it, you could ask about that somewhere Windows question that don't relate much to Ubuntu is supported. Super User is often good for that. But from your description, it doesn't seem like that's what you're trying to do.)

Which of these is correct: "I am on the train" or "I am in the train"?
Sign up
- Anybody can ask a question

- The best answers are voted up and rise to the top
Both, but they are used differently. Being on the train is the most common use.
When you travel by train, you usually say that you are on the train.
If you want to describe your position, you could say that you are in the train, for example:
Being on the train has the sense of being aboard or being a passenger on a conveyance.
Being in the train has the sense of being a component member of the train. Keep in mind that the word train refers to more than just railroads, and that a railroad train is something that comprises a group of connected cars and locomotive engines. It is proper to say that the car you are riding in is in the train. You would be in the train if you were part of a walking tour group or pilgrimage -- or even caught up in a conga line.
I am in the train right now. (I'm not outside the train.)
I am on the train right now. (Could be I'm travelling on the train.)
Hope that answers your question.
To answer this question, I cannot offer a better explanation than you will find in this George Carlin monologue:
You'll want to listen to the whole thing, but the part that addresses your question begins at 2:55 in the video.
I'm on the train, but I'm in carriage D. Don't ask my why; there's often no rhyme or reason to English prepositions.
You're on because you got on. Like you're in the shower, bath or car because you got in. Unless you're on the roof of the car.
If you are on the roof of the train, you're on [the] top of the train. When you're on the train, you can go in the buffet car, when you do, you'll be in the buffet car of the train.
You also get off the train, but get out of your car, bath or shower. Probably because you got on, possibly because it is short for getting on board.
The word train, is from the French verb traîner, to pull. So it's called a train because it's being pulled, that might explain why you need to be on the train (to be pulled), rather than in it (to be pulling).

Why Gun Control Won't Prevent Another School Shooting (video)
Mass shooters always pick target locations where they know victims cannot fight back, says gun control expert John Lott in this CNN interview with Soledad O'Brien in response to Friday's Connecticut school shooting.
As the nation knows, a 20-year-old gunman killed 28 people that day, 20 of them 6- and 7-year-old school children. Grieving families have begun holding funerals for their small children today.
School Reform News and Heartland Institute staff join the nation and the bereaved in sorrow at these evil acts.
Policy makers immediately responded to the tragedy with calls for new laws limiting gun ownership. Lott, a friend of Heartland, explains from his research why stripping people of the ability to defend themselves and innocent children will not prevent future acts of horror.

The Name section of the passport has "Surname / Nom / Apellidos" and then "First Name" in the box you write in, and then "Given names/ Prenoms / Nombres" with "Last Name" in the box you write in. I think the text in the boxes is the wrong way round.
Also the source for the passports is in adobe InDesign format, which currently dosn't have an open source implementation. Would it be possible to redo it in Scribus so it can be edited by hackers without using propriety software?
Alternativly if someone could re-export it from InDesign in InDesign Exchange format (.inx i think) then the Scribus team are working on an importer for it.
Stamp Book
- Shouldn't this be called a Hackspace Stampbook? A passport is defined as "a document, issued by a national government, which certifies, for the purpose of international travel, the identity and nationality of its holder." A Hackerspace passport should be defined as "a document, issued by a Hackerspace, which certifies, for the purpose of inter-Hackerspace travel, the identity and home Hackerspace of its holder." This information should then be used to validate the holder, giving them a reputation to uphold for themselves and their Hackerspace. --JimShoe 18:33, 1 August 2011 (UTC) (Makers Local 256)
- I don't mind the passport part, but "diplomatic" makes it look like something it really isn't. "Hackerspace Passport" would be more to the point. also inside you obviously put visitor stamps and not visas. It would be nice to have a document that presents what it is and does not pretend to be something else.--eMBee 4:34, 1 January 2012 (UTC)
- for those of us in the dark end of the hacker universe, would you be interested in sharing what materials/methods you use to craft these so that we can develop a certain level of uniformity between hackerspaces. I'm trying to get some put together for the OHM hackerspace here but would like to be of a comparable quality.
Making Your Own Hackerspace Passports
If you want to make your own Hackerspace Passports, then please do! If you make your own then you can do it any way you want! You can call it whatever you want! You can create your own artwork! You can make it any shape you want! You can do anything you wish, since it is *yours*!
You can also grab the original artwork, and use it verbatim, or hack it for your purposes. The artwork is entirely free and open source. See the links on the bottom of the Passport page for the print-ready PDF, and also the source artwork.
You can also make your artwork in any format that you want. Please, go ahead and make it using an open-source tool, if you like.
To make 2,600 of them, I used a local printer, named Valencia Printing, on Valencia St, in San Francisco. But any printer can print these. Of course, the fewer you make, the more expensive it is to make each one. Valencia Printing used 4-color printing on the inside pages, and used thick cardstock for the cover, using navy-blue and white ink on the cover. It would be even nicer (I think) if the cover were colored vinyl, with silver or gold embossed artwork (but Valenica Printing couldn't do that for me in the short amount of time I had to get 2,600 of them made between when I had the idea in July and before Chaos Camp in August-2011).

Is there a word for "coolness" that corresponds to warmth?
Sign up
- Anybody can ask a question
- Anybody can answer

There's the archaic word coolth:
Edit 2: In many uses coolth corresponds better to warmth than does cool. Architects' use of coolth as mentioned in comments provides an example. Also, while cool corresponds well with warm, it does not correspond well with warmth or warmness in some examples below, shown in several forms for contrast:
Edit 1: Regarding whether coolth is archaic, Peter Shor notes that it appears in The Spectator (ca. 1776). It also appears in Fanny Burney memoirs, ca. 1784, and according to ngrams is rare before the late 1800's, and at its most-common from 1920 to 1960.
The most-relevant sense of archaic is "(of words) No longer in ordinary use, though still used occasionally to give a sense of antiquity." Coolth is still in use, but not in ordinary use; and it is, per previous paragraph, not particularly antique; but because it may often be used to give a sense of antiquity, it's reasonable to term it archaic.
Chill can be used for this. The chill of winter.
Also, keeping it simple, "Coolness"
I also note that the Merriam Webster's link for cold list definition 2a as
so that would lend a lot to the answer of cold by @zpletan, but the sentence above is how I recall hearing it contrasted.
All those suggested are good, but the first to pop into my head was cold.
The short answer is no, there is not a single word commonly in use that is to "cool" what "warmth" is to "warm". "Coolth" just never caught on the way "warmth" did.
"Warm" and "warmth" both refer to a quality of temperature and a quality of friendliness and compassion. "Hot" is a higher temperature than "warm" but not really a higher degree of friendliness; "hot" can be either erotic or angry, but not "more friendly than warm". I believe as a result of this and because "warmth" has positive associations, "warmth" gets used a lot in both senses in preference to any other word with similar meaning, such as "warmness". Besides, "warmth" just sounds better. On top of that, with "warmth" readily available, "warm" did not develop a usage as a noun. (Then again, "hot" never developed into a noun, either, and instead we have "heat".)
On the other side, "cool" and "cold" both refer to a quality of temperature and a quality of friendliness and compassion and "cold" is "more cool" in both senses. Without "coolth" coming into use, "cool" and "cold" both became nouns distinct from "coolness" and "coldness".
In the above ngram graph from Google, "warm of day" does not even register when compared to "warmth of day", "cool of night", or "coolness of night".
Here is a comparison of the words alone. Most used is "cold", followed by "warm", "cool", and "warmth" in that order. Least used by far are "coolness" and "coldness".
On the subject of affection and matters of the heart, Google says "warmth" and "coldness" are most used by far when referring to someone's heart, with "warm", "cool", "coolness", and "cold" not registering at all:
(Yes, this graph shows usage of "her" heart, but the graph of "his" heart is pretty much the same.)
So you have to work a little harder to figure out the sense of what you want to say and choose the right word to mean the opposite of "warmth".
How about "Frigidity"

I'm struggling to set up X-forwarding between 2 different machines on my local network and my ubuntu desktop. I'm able to connect using ssh x-forwarding one one machine, but the other machine (a Qnap TS-219P II) seems to have a less functional build of SSH on it, and I'd rather use a simpler approach.
I've set
$DISPLAY, and done 'xauth list $DISPLAY' on the desktop, then 'xauth add ' on the remote machine.
From the remote machine, I just get
xterm Xt error: Can't open display: 192.168.0.4:0.0
Now, oddly, if I connect via
ssh -X, there is a different magic cookie for the tunnelled port (but neither seems to work). I'm wondering if there is a port which needs to be enabled to permit X connections from the LAN? If so, how?
The proper solution might be to re-build all the packages which are preventing X-forwarding from working on my QNAP machine, but lets assume for the purposes of this question that I've tried building enough packages on that architecture already and want to run X without the overhead of encryption.

AAPA says U.S. trade shows signs of life
November 18, 2010 - LM Editorial
America's waterborne foreign trade in September continued its rebound from last year's lows, noted the American Association of Port Authorities (AAPA) yesterday.
Though down from the preceding month, the September data reported by the U.S. Census Bureau shows healthy tonnage increases from a year ago for both imports and exports. January-September was the strongest tonnage quarter of 2010.
"Imports posted their seventh consecutive month of year-on-year growth, thanks in great part to strong demand for petroleum, steel and containerized merchandise, but remained below 2008 levels for the month and the year-to-date," said AAPA spokesman, Aaron Ellis in an interview.
"Exports posted double-digit gains both from a year ago and from September 2008. In sum, cargo trade, though much improved, hasn't yet fully recovered from the recession," Ellis added.
This reflects a recent report issued by the National Retail Federation (NRF) suggesting a soft rebound in U.S. consumer spending.
According to NRF, cooler, seasonal weather in October helped apparel and sporting goods stores' sales. Clothing and clothing accessory stores sales increased 0.7 percent seasonally adjusted over last month and 1.4 percent unadjusted over last year. Sales at sporting goods, hobby, book and music stores increased 1.0 percent seasonally adjusted month-to-month and 5.9 percent unadjusted year-over-year.
Building material and garden equipment and supplies dealers sales also showed solid growth, increasing 1.9 percent seasonally adjusted month-to-month and 7.3 percent unadjusted over last year. Health and personal care stores sales decreased 0.1 percent seasonally adjusted from September but increased 1.6 percent unadjusted year-over-year.

HOLUBTSE (Czech Stuffed Cabbage Rolls)
1 large head of cabbage
2 lbs ground beef (80/20 works best as it doesn't get dry)
¾ cup uncooked minute rice
½ cup diced onions
¼ cup diced green pepper
¾ tsp salt
½ tsp ground pepper
1 Tbsp chopped parsley
½ tsp minced garlic
1 large egg, slightly beaten
1 tsp paprika
1 8-ounce can tomato sauce
1 14-ounce can diced tomatoes
1 10½-ounce can beef broth
½ cup sour cream, warmed to room temperature
½ can of condensed tomato soup
Remove large outer leaves from cabbage and discard. Remove core from cabbage. Place whole head in a large pot filled with boiling, salted water. Cover and cook until softened enough to pull off individual leaves. You will need about 12 leaves.
When leaves are cool enough to handle, use a paring knife to cut away the thick center stem from each leaf, without cutting all the way through.
In a large bowl, mix ground beer, rice, onions, peppers, parsley, salt, pepper, garlic, egg, paprika, 1/3 cup of the tomato sauce, and blend thoroughly. Don't over mix or the meat will become tough.
Place about 1/2 cup of meat on each cabbage leaf. Roll away from you to encase the meat. Flip the right side of the leaf to the middle, and then flip the left side. You will have something that looks like an envelope. Again, roll away from you to create a neat little roll.
Place cabbage rolls and some tomato sauce in the casserole dish or Dutch oven. Top with all the diced tomatoes and remaining tomato sauce. Add beef broth to cover completely. Bake covered 90 minutes at 350 degrees. Watch carefully so stuffed cabbages don't burn.
Stir room-temperature sour cream and tomato soup together, pour over the cabbage rolls and bake an additional 30 minutes at 300 degrees.
Serve with pan juices, if desired, and mashed potatoes and crusty bread.
NOTE: Cabbage rolls freeze well before or after cooking.
Since they can be eaten hot or at room temperature, mini cabbage rolls make great appetizers. Just spear them with a frilled toothpick and you're good to go!

Outlaw Mountain (Mass Market Paperbound)
Usually Ships in 1-5 Days
A breathtaking story of senseless, brutal death in a desolate terrain from New York Times bestselling author J. A. Jance
What kind of monster would savagely murder a 71-year-old and leave her battered corpse to rot in the Arizona desert? A crime so patently inhuman, it shocks even those who should be used to death like Joanna Brady, sheriff of Cochise County. But the slaying of a complex and truly uncommon senior is only one thread in a bloody tapestry as death follows death in horrific succession, leading one dedicated officer of the law to risk everything as she seeks answers in the lethal shadow of Outlaw Mountain.
About the Author
J. A. Jance is the New York Times bestselling author of the J. P. Beaumont series, the Joanna Brady series, the Ali Reynolds series, and five interrelated thrillers about the Walker family, as well as a volume of poetry. Born in South Dakota and brought up in Bisbee, Arizona, Jance lives with her husband in Seattle, Washington, and Tucson, Arizona.

I have an old PlayStation 1, and I am a big fan of old games. I have a lot of game CDs for this PlayStation.
Is it possible to run these games on my PC? If so, how?
Yes, you can run them in an emulator such as ePSXe. Typically emulators require rather powerful machines to run at the kind of FPS you'd expect from the console, however you're unlikely to experience issues with a Playstation emulator and a half-decent PC.
For more information on Playstation emulation, plus a list of emulators, check out the Emulation General Wiki.
Just keep in mind that, in most cases, downloading the games themselves is illegal.
take one of the emulators from this list, install it and play away. You might want to invest in a gamepad as it will feel a lot more like playing on the actual ps1. If you have a xbox controller, it should be plug and play with the first one on the list, if i remember correctly.

7 Creepy Urban Legends That Happen to be True (Part 5!)
Halloween's nearly here, and that means it's once again time to prove that the urban legends that scared you as a kid should still totally scare you as a rational adult, because they're totally true. As we've shown four times before, sometimes the stories told late at night at sleepovers really did happen to that kid's brother's cousin's sister. For instance ...
#7. Man-Eating Escalators
The Legend:
Parents can't seem to resist the urge to play amateur horror movie director when teaching you the importance of tying you shoes. "You don't want to end up like that boy two towns over whose shoelace got stuck in the escalator at the mall. They're still cleaning his toes out of the grate with dental floss." After years of riding escalators without incident, you begin to suspect that you're more likely to make a face that gets "stuck that way" than get your foot eaten by the escalator at the mall.
"I thirst for child-blood."
The Truth:
Escalators are hungry like the wolf -- in this case, an unseeing, unfeeling robotic wolf that appears to grow hungrier once it tastes blood. "Shoelaces will get sucked up ... like sucking soda through a straw. It'll suck it right in." That's not a quote from a guide to parenting with existential terror, but from nationally certified escalator safety inspector Kevin Doherty. And once the escalator has your shoelace, well, not even food metaphors can convey the shit Doherty's seen on the job: "It's unbelievable what an escalator can do to human flesh."
Are you listening, Hollywood? That's the sound of an unexploited horror property.
Toes and entire pieces of feet have been chewed off by escalators. And if the victim reaches down to try to free himself from the human paper shredder, that's when things can go from bad to worse. Like grizzly bears and sharks, you apparently don't want to mess with an escalator when it's in the middle of a feeding.
For instance, in 2003 a girl lost part of her hand when she reached down to free her shoe, which the escalator was in the process of eating. In 2005, a 34-year-old cook made the mistake of wearing a hood on an escalator. Nobody's sure if he was reaching down to free a shoelace or seated when the escalator got hold of his hood, because by the time they found him, the escalator had sucked his hood into its comb plate, dragged him to the ground and strangled him to death.
Once it developed a taste for hipster flesh, no one with a scarf or fedora was safe.
And the teeth at the beginning and end aren't the only part that can get you. Drag your feet along the place where the wall meets the stairs and you get to grow up with three fewer toes than your friends. Escalators have also been known to reverse directions, which would be painful even if they weren't made of what appear to be interlocking pointy metal knives.
Apparently we'll ride a ski lift made of chainsaws if it means we get to skip the stairs.
"Our fingers are just a sacrifice to Haste -- or, God of Convenience."
#6. The Girl in the Closet
The Legend:
Everyone knows the feeling. You're alone in your house when you get the unmistakable sense that you're being watched. It's like you can feel another human presence in the house with you, even though you know you locked the doors and windows. This spooky trick of the mind is probably why so many of our ghost stories are about someone being inside our house. There's the call that was coming from inside the house, the killer who hides under your bed, the guy who wakes up to find a note taped to his forehead. Even the monsters living in our closet. But those fears are irrational, right?
364 days of the year, this would be a terrifying thing to wake up to.
The Truth:
A 57-year-old man living by himself in Japan began to notice small things amiss in his house -- objects wouldn't be where he'd left them. Food would disappear that he swore he didn't remember eating. He'd wake up to strange sounds in the middle of the night, but every time he'd go and check them out, the door would be locked, the windows tightly shut. Nobody was there.
"This is either the work of gnomes or some dastardly sleep-pooper."
Was he losing his mind? Being messed with by a shy poltergeist? To find out, he set up a series of spy cameras around his house. The next morning, he ran back the footage on the camera and that's when he saw it. A strange woman crawling out of a cupboard like it was the TV in The Ring. And if you think that's terrifying, imagine what happened inside his stomach when, at the end of the video, she crawled back into the cupboard. The one that was just a couple of feet away from where he was standing, watching the video.
Presumably in an effort to maintain bowel control, the man assumed the woman was a burglar who was only temporarily hiding in the cupboard, and had since left. He called the police, who pointed out that all the locks on his doors and windows were undisturbed. There was simply no evidence whatsoever that anybody had broken in -- in other words (cue dramatic strings) the woman had been in the house all along.
Matthew Field
It's a really good thing he waited to fumigate.
After a thorough search, the woman was found nervously huddled in a small cupboard. Apparently she had sneaked into the house and slept, ate and even took showers there for an entire year without being detected. Think of all the things you've done in your most private moments -- the things you thought nobody would ever see. Now imagine a homeless Japanese woman had been watching it all. Yeah. We'll let that one sink in for a moment.
"I swear, all those pixels consented!"
#5. The Killer Phone Call
The Legend:
They found the dead body in the middle of the room. The only clue to what got him: the telephone clutched in his hand. Of course the whole "stay away from the phone in a thunderstorm!" is just a bit of technophobia, probably invented by old people who think we need to relearn the value of a good old fashioned face-talkin', right?
Who could stand to miss out on this?
The Truth:
Lightning doesn't care how far you are from the window. If it gets a Final Destination-style boner for punching your number, it's coming for you, and it can travel through basically any type of phone to do the job. In fact, the phone makes it deadlier.
There's the 1985 story of a 17-year-old honor student named Jason. He had just passed a rigorous physical examination as part of his acceptance to the United States Military Academy at West Point. So unless you're Rambo, it's safe to assume his body could brush off injuries your doctor would refer to as "cause of death."
If you are Rambo, hi Rambo!
Yet only four days after passing the physical exam, he was found dead in his room with a phone in his hand. Lightning had struck a cord outside and shot out of the speaker, into the earpiece and into Jason's ear. We like to think that he took some solace in knowing that he went out exactly how '80s hair metal videos would have depicted someone getting rocked to death.
"But my phone doesn't have any antiquated wires attached to it," you say, "I only use my cellphone! I only have to worry about cancer, right?"
"And autoerotic asphyxiation will take me long before cancer does."
It turns out talking on a cellphone during a storm can increase the severity and deadliness of lightning strikes for the same reason it was such bad news for Jason. Our skin is actually a pretty good barrier to entry, so typical lightning strikes get dissipated across the surface of your skin.
However, when you have a phone to your ear or are listening to music on an iPod, you're focusing the lightning into your ear hole, essentially funneling the electricity past your body's natural barrier and giving it direct access to your internal organs.
"Hipster, 35 points!"
One kid was listening to his iPod and doing lawn work when lightning from a nearby storm leaped miles across town to create a vicious circuit between his ears. He survived, but still bears the scars from where the earbud cords melted onto his chest and neck. Presumably, he will never play whatever song he was listening to at that moment ever again.
#4. Creepy Guy With a Big Lumpy Bag
The Legend:
The creepy stranger with a mysteriously large, lumpy bag is a staple of pop culture. It's been played for laughs in Something About Mary, beer commercials and Joe Pesci movies, but your friend's cousin's girlfriend knows that it's no laughing matter. She was on a mostly empty Greyhound when a creepy stranger got on with a giant duffel bag. Something about the shapes of the objects inside and the way he kept muttering that the shapes "made him do it" didn't seem quite right, but she figured her mind just got carried away. Two nights later, she saw him on the local news, an escaped mental patient called the body dismemberer.
"We're not great with names."
The Truth:
When the security crew at the Athens airport began a routine check of a Greek Orthodox monk, they had no idea they were about find themselves deep in the middle of some serious Dan Brown shit. See, in addition to regular monk essentials (Bible, spare robes, head polish), this monk had decided to fill his luggage with human bones.
"No liquid containers above 3 oz., though, this guy's probably clean."
The monk had an excuse, though -- the bones belonged to a saint. And everyone knows saint bones belong in carry-on luggage. Of course it turned out the bones didn't belong to a saint at all, but instead to a nun who had disappeared from her convent four years earlier. How she died and what the monk was planning to do with the bones remains unclear, but we can say with 100 percent certainty that it was something creepy.
While most criminals know better than to put makeshift body bags through customs, the number of suitcases containing dismembered bodies discovered around the world seems to indicate that luggage is the preferred method of body part transport among purveyors of grisly murder. We're not saying that every creepy guy you've ever seen struggling with a large unwieldy suitcase was in fact transporting a chopped-up body, but we'd hold off on helping him get it into the back of his windowless van.

China's Panjin Heyun New Material Co. will use UOP's C4 Oleflex process to produce isobutylene, a key ingredient for fuels and synthetic rubber. This is UOP's third C4 Oleflex license in China this year.
Technology from Honeywell's UOP has been selected
to produce key ingredients for fuels and synthetic rubber in
China, officials announced on Wednesday.
China's Panjin Heyun New Material Co. will use UOP's C4
Oleflex process to produce isobutylene, a key ingredient
for fuels and synthetic rubber. This is UOP's third C4
Oleflex license in China this year.
Panjin Heyun New Material Co. will also use UOP's
Butamer process, which converts normal butane to
isobutane, thereby maximizing the feedstock utilization to the
Oleflex process.
Southeast Asia is the world's largest producer of rubber,
and China is the largest consumer, accounting for 33% of the
world's rubber consumption, according to a 2012 report. China's
economy is expected to grow about 8% this year, further
increasing the country's need for key materials.
"As China's economy grows, and the need for fuels and rubber
rises worldwide, UOP is providing solutions that help producers
maximize their output to support demands locally, while
capturing a high return on investment," said Pete Piotrowski,
senior vice president and general manager of Honeywell's UOP
process technology and equipment
"UOP technology is currently being used
in China to produce about 5 million metric tons annually of key
petrochemicals, and we look forward
to working with Panjin to continue supporting the country's
efforts," he added.
The new unit, which is expected to start up in 2014, will
process approximately 400,000 tpy of isobutane feedstock at its facility in
Liaoning Province, China. UOP will provide the engineering
design, technology licensing, catalysts, adsorbents, equipment,
staff training and technical service for the project.
The C4 Oleflex process uses catalytic
dehydrogenation to convert isobutane to isobutylene. Compared
with competing processes, UOP says its Oleflex technology provides the lowest cash
cost of production, the highest return on investment and the
smallest environmental footprint, enabled by
high isobutylene yields, low energy and water consumption, and
use of a fully recyclable platinum alumina-based catalyst
In addition, unique to the Oleflex process, independent
reaction and regeneration systems are in place that allow
continuous use of catalysts for steady-state operations (non
swing-bed), which helps maximize operating flexibility,
on-stream factor and reliability.

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

In what Arab states having multiple wives legal and where it is not? How this changed over time and what countries were pioneers in the reforms?
While the legal conventions are there, and some laws limit it to 4 wives, it is the religious convention from the Qur'an (the spelling I will use) where it is strictly spelled out how you can have multiple wives. In The Qur'an and multiple Wives
In my Muslim History class some of this went back to both Arabic culture around the time of Mohammed (the spelling I will use) and his numerous wives, basically taking from his example as The Prophet whatever he did was eventually discussed and passed down in religious law over time. Although changes were made basically looking at his example the Islamic Jurists issued opinions and edicts for centuries about every aspect of life and culture. From what we studied at the time there was not much change on this - the number of wives was small since my teach joked, only older men would afford multiple wives but they didn't have the energy for them.
Although it is rare for many Muslim men to have multiple wives, mostly you will see them only with the wealthy families in the oil-rich countries in the Middle East and even then you might not have someone with 4.
As to the countries many of them have changed in the past 100 years. From the Status of Women in Islam
I could not find an overview of countries directly, but if you check the Gender Equality Index and look at the links they have by country you will get an overview. They seem up to date, even noting the decline of multiple wives in Saudi Arabia, the Country Overview will get you to the topmost listing.

In the final sequences of Alien, Ripley activates the self destruct sequence of the ship, Nostromo.
After seeing the alien in front of the shuttle entrance, Ripley runs back to the control room and frantically tries to deactivate the self destruct.
The whole sequence can be seen here in pictures.
Why would Ripley make this decision; what's the need for disabling the self-destruct?
Basically she was dead anyway. Nowhere to go and the alien was on to her. So it would just seem to be the best option to destruct the ship and the alien.

_______________________________________________Thank you - I did pursue this kind of workaround, and it worked, but you'll be happy to know that nothing had to be owned by root.
ASIDE ----Just to remind: The job script is a shell script that invokes mpirun; the job script itself is run with as the correct user, but the group id may be changed to whatever the user requests of the job-scheduling system. I think it may not be uncommon to have jobs that request a specific Unix group, for many reasons, but in our case the group is an input for the scheduler's prioritization policy.
Outcome: rank 0 runs user:group2 as the user requested, but the launched child processes run user:group1 where group 1 is the user's primary group. The peculiarity of this application is that each of the processes writes a file to disk, so the resulting group ownership of rank 0 files is group2, but the group ownership of all other ranks' files is group1. That was the original problem I'm trying to work around.--- END ASIDE
Fortunately for me, there is another peculiarity of this application -- the executable gets copied out to /tmp (local space) on each of the hosts to be used in the job. We found this helped prevent some crashes during test phases where an executable gets overwritten while in use. Definitely a special behavior. But as a result of this peculiarity, the mpirun command ends up launching the copied executable, and I took advantage of that.
I had the job script do chown user:group2 on the copied executables and then chmod 6711, and then I observed that the child processes ran as user:group2, same as the rank 0 process, so the files they created had the desired group ownership.
I will explore Reuti's guidance as well.

You could set the setuid bit on the application and chown it to root?? It is about as secure as anything else that has been described thus far. As a system admin, I cringe at the thought of anything that would allow something to run as someone else, so there would have to be a pretty good justification for such unique use case as yours.

Perhaps there is a way to have the rsh/ssh launcher start the application processes with a command like 'sg <group> <executable name>'?What about a half-tight integration (or call it: classic tight integration), i.e. no recompilation necessary?
- setup your mpiexec call in the jobscript to use a plain rsh for the remote startup (no path given): –mca plm_rsh_agent rsh
- the PE of SGE needs the argument -catch_rsh in start_proc_args and the supplied script in $SGE_ROOT/mpi/startmpi.sh
(SGE will create a symbolic link in $TMPDIR therein [which will be called first this way] to the rsh-wrapper in $SGE_ROOT/mpi [pitfall: some applications need a -V to be added in the lines woth "qrsh", i.e. "qrsh -inherit -V ..." to send all environment variables to the slaves])
- what is your setting of qrsh_daemon/qrsh_command in `qconf -sconf`? This will then be used finally to reach the node and should be builtin or point to the SGE supplied rsh/rshd (no rshd necessary to install, no rshd is running all the time, no rshd will be started by xinet.d or alike)
- like you do already: switch off the built-in SGE starter in your mpiexec call: -mca plm_rsh_disable_qrsh 1
-- Reuti
PS: To avoid misunderstandings: you could also set "–mca plm_rsh_agent foobar" and in $SGE_ROOT/mpi/startmpi.sh you change it to create a symbolic link called "foobar " in $TMPDIR. It's just a name at this stage of startup.
