http://deals.woot.com/deals/details/c05ce348-099d-4b75-89be-650ee81cca43/top-soundtrack-mp3-albums#3 for the original posting about it here.
-Available only in the US
-Voucher will expire if not used toward a purchase at Amazon MP3 by July 12, 2012
It's really an amazing thing without doubt, thank you a lot!
2 downsides to this:
1) they require a credit card for the purchase (not a big deal)
2) will be be "subscribed" to your nearest Amazon Local, so you will need to unsubscribe from Amazon Local.
Not major issues, but just things to be aware of.
Nice deal,worked like a charm.It's good to have an extra $3 in your Amazon "pocket ",
As another reminder, they also have the July 100 albums for $5, and the "essential summer jams" which is a bunch of songs for 25 cents.
Last but not least, they also have the new Teenage Bottlerocket album, Freak Out!
I'm in.
Just uncheck the small checkbox in the top corner and you won't be subscribed to the amazon local.
Wow, awesome deal - you can't really beat free! Let's hope they put up another $10 Amazon Gift Card for $5 soon.
I used my free money to buy the Rock of Ages Soundtrack. I have to admit I wasn't sure if I wanted to even see this movie having grown up in the 80's I was worried it would suck and the music would suck more, but to be honest the soundtrack turned me around.
If this soundtrack really is real actor voices then I'm impressed with some of them for sure. Thank OP for the link, I now have a decent album for free and a movie to add to my watch list this summer.

@mhboston: Nice song choices, THX
I guess the price is right.
@justafreak: I saw that one and thought th song list looked good, but not having seen the movie or the play, just wasn't sure I wanted to bite on it. I'll have to check out some samples and see what I think (from home, can't do it at work.) Seeing a recommendation helps sway me towards it. :) Thanks.
Its locked out :(
Too late to the party...dern!
Got the Mahjong free app 2 days ago (with free $1 mp3 credit), got this, and had .01 left over from the last free credit.
So now I have $4.01 credit.
I love Amazon!
Gonna keep checking throughout the day...
Please Check Back
We're sorry, but this deal is temporarily unavailable. We have locked
everyone in Mission Control until the problem is fixed. In the meantime,
thanks for your patience.
The AmazonLocal Team
I love Amazon and their promo credits. The other day I got the $1 credit from downloading an app. I used it on the Of Monsters And Men album for 1.99. The next day that album was on sale for 0.99, and Amazon gave me another $1 credit to make up for the price drop.
How long does it take for the credit to appear in your account? I was charged $.99 to download a song, and when I looked, it said that the local.amazon.com thing was "pending".
Up and working again...for now. Awesome deal!
The deal is still alive, again!
@peale: You have to wait for amazon local to finish the order (meaning leave the "pending" state). Then you'll be given a code from amazon local to paste into the "redeem promotional credits" box on the MP3 site. After that it will be instantaneously added to your account.
In for one. Went thru no problem 9:50am EDT.
Highly recommend this Alabama Shakes album for anyone who wants to check out a new artist. $2.99 today only:
keep checking back. I just got mine.
Got mine! No problem. Thanks!
@isonduil: Thanks for this info. I was worried for a minute when I didn't see it immediately in my account even though it said the credit would be immediately available.
definitely alive again.
I'm absolutely amazed! Had only HEARD OF Amazon.local until recently, but never found any way to access it. Love it!
Good deal, thanks. (FYI: "Boys & Girls" by Alabama Shakes is $2.99 today.)
This is why I always keep songs in my mp3 wish list. I should start supporting them more with acutal money purchase though. They really do have a great business model. DRM free music on a per song selection for cheap.
Deal is still good as of right now.
I'm loving all of these mp3 coupon codes. I was able to download a few songs to accompany a fireworks video I made and I didn't have to feel guilty about it.
It is amazing how much excitement $3 generates..from me included...how we respond to the little things in life !!!
Thank you!!! Love free Amazon money :D
Anyone know the record for most upvotes on deals.woot? :-)
Got mine. Thanks.
@rookie3001: RIght?! hahahah my best was like 70 something until now
Amazon seems to have a free MP3 code every day. It's great.
@kcostell: Ended up buy 4 more albums after the promo code. Even if there were only a couple good songs it was still worth the price!
This one really great. Thank you.
WOW 469 upvotes! You should get one heck of a coupon from Woot for ths one!
Great deal :D Made the most of my free money with some of the $0.25 songs too! Thanks!
Wow, great find.!
I just picked up 5 songs, thanks!
Perfect. Got it this morning.
To everyone thanking me, you're welcome. It's not very often I post deals, but this one had to be put up. I'm glad everyone got a kick out of it.
Also @susan11125: that would be awesome, wouldn't it? haha

New York show gets juices flowing
|Mike Wolfe of "American Pickers," left, and Indian vice president Steve Menneto show off Burt Munro's 1920 Indian Scout at the Progressive International Motorcycle Show in New York. Bud Wilkinson / Republican-American
As usual, RIDE-CT attended, rising early to make it to the Jacob J. Javits Convention Center in time for the three-hour press preview on Jan. 18 that preceded the show's noon opening that Friday. The show-and-tell session that runs the gamut from BMW to Zero is a bit of a whirlwind. The manufacturers get 10 to 15 minutes each to tout new models, to tick off new features and, in some cases, to strive mightily to build brand awareness.
It's sort of like speed dating. Instead of shifting seats, the press pack moves from display to display. Heck, Suzuki even served champagne to cap the courtship ritual. By the time the three hours are up, the shirt pocket is filled with business cards from PR reps and company execs as well as flash drive press kits. The notebook is also filled with scribbles that are inevitably indecipherable when the time comes to write about what's been seen.
So, relying as much as memory as note-taking ...
Making the biggest splash was Indian. It had a gargantuan display that sold the brand's heritage and its future. Burt Munro's record-setting 1920 Scout — the story of which was told in the movie "The World's Fastest Indian — was front and center. Mike Wolfe of "American Pickers" was there to help showcase the 1935 Indian Chief that was restored on an episode of the TV show and sold to the company.
Indian is certainly an iconic name in motorcycling. Indians were built in Springfield, Mass., from 1901 until 1953 when the company went bankrupt. Numerous attempts to revive Indian failed over the years. An effort that began in Kings Mountain, N.C., in 2006 to bring back Indian eventually played out with Polaris, which already makes Victory motorcycles, buying the company in 2011 and moving production to Iowa.
Since then, Indian has been working on the development of new designs. The release of first new model under Polaris' ownership is expected later this year. That's why the big exhibit — to generate buzz in advance of the brand's relaunch. "We take our stewardship of the Indian brand very, very serious," Indian and Victory vice president Steve Menneto told reporters.
Indian is this year selling a "final edition" 2013 Indian Chief Vintage, the last bike off the assembly line to feature a design from the previous owner. However, Menneto said, "It's not the end of the Indian Chief."
The company is being extremely secretive about what's to come. While Indian is expected to remain a premium brand, existing models cost $35,000 or more, Menneto suggested in a one-on-one conversation that the company does plan to try and make Indian more accessible price-wise to more riders. Just how many models the company will ultimately produce isn't known. "We don't have a model count game plan," he said.
One company that did have a model count was electric motorcycle builder Zero, a seven-year-old company that is working hard to build its visibility. It now has five models. Its execs noted the brand's technological growth, stating that 85 percent of the parts on the 2013 models "are new from the ground up." Horsepower is up to 54 ponies and range has increased to 137 miles on a single charge.
Getting the chance to ogle and sit on new models is really what the IMS is all about. Triumph had its 2013 Trophy SE, BMW its new R 1200 GS, Kawasaki its Ninja 330, and Honda its CB1100 and its three new CB500 variants.
Harley-Davidson, which routinely has a large display, always manages to get passed over by the media at the IMS for the simple reason the company usually releases its upcoming models in summer. They're old news by the time January rolls around. It's just a quirk of timing.
The press event isn't complete without a fashion show from Ducati, and this year was no exception. By the time the show opened to the public noon, though, the mind was boggled by tech specs, the feet were tired and the notebook was filled with scrawls.
After wandering the show for three more hours, and at the suggestion of an Irish motorcycle tour operator, RIDE-CT retired to a nearby Irish pub on 39th St. for a late lunch and some replenishment of fluids. Afternoon gave way to evening and then night. Just as there are many brands and models of motorcycles, the same can be said of Irish whiskey. I'm not sure which is more fun. More testing will be necessary.

NULLThe Abramson Cancer Center of the University of Pennsylvania
Last Modified: May 3, 2002
1 in 9 gouache, watercolor, pastel 22 x 29 inches 1994
Acceptance Watercolor 22 x 30 inches 1994
I have been a fiber artist for the past 25 years. Cancer treatments left me without the energy to weave, so instead I turned to drawing and painting. More than anything else, art helped me come to an understanding and acceptance of my "dis-ease."
These two paintings represent different stages of my cancer therapy. "1 in 9" was painted during chemotherapy, the darkest time of my illness. It expresses the inner confusion and mental chaos caused by this life-threatening disease. Life no longer made sense. I was too young to die. "Acceptance" deals with the struggle to accept what was and to regain my faith in life. "Acceptance" was painted while I was undergoing radiation, by which time I had gone through the worst of my cancer treatments and was hopeful at last.
My experience with breast cancer made me stronger and recommitted to exploring the feminine power.

I'm having trouble converting the chili recipes I find to use something other than of-the-shelf chili-powder. Thanks to a simply wonderful local spice shop, we have several different kind of chili-flakes. We've already learned that grinding them and substituting 1:2 with powder is ("$@$^@ ow, pass the milk") not correct. What is the ratio-neighborhood we should be exploring for this substitution?
Chili powder is typically a blend of ground chilies and other spices (and maybe even herbs).
I'd go with a blend of:
You can also try mixing in onion powder, other chilie powders, and black pepper. Some pre-mixed blends also include salt. If you have access to other dried chilie powders, you might consider using ancho or new mexico chilies for a 'dark' chili powder, as opposed to the more red powder you'll get from the cayenne. (but cayenne's more available)
Search online for recipes -- you'll find lots of variation out there.
Coriander, cilantro, and sage are more standby's for a good chili powder as well. Nanami-togarashi is an asian chili powder with a citrusy flavor from lime [peel?]. Also, dont be afraid to get some sinusy piquant goodness in there with a little ginger or mustard or turmeric (only a pinch or it may get closer to curry).
You may also like to source the chiles you are using. You may find that getting a dried tien tsin (the hot peppers from asian cooking) and a dried bell pepper, and milling these with a mortar and pestle is a good way to play with the spectrum of spice in your powder.

In every lecture on Riemannian geometry it is standard to prove that geodesic curves are locally length minimizing. The only thing I find confusing about this is, that here length minimizing means: compared to all piecewise smooth curves in contrast to, say, all continuous curves. So my question is:
Are geodesics locally length minimizing in the continuous curves?
If generally they are not: Under which conditions can we obtain such a result? Can you give any counterexamples?

The 7 Most Ridiculous Ghost Stories from Around the World
#3. The Headless Mule
This charming bedtime story comes all the way from Brazil, whose chief exports are soccer and really messed-up shit. According to this quasi-Christian legend, a prostitute slept with a chaste priest, and God decided that this deserved some particularly terrifying divine intervention.
In His defense, God had been pretty wasted the night before.
Typically, God is known to punish people with barren fields and plagues of frogs and whatnot, but this time, He decided to shake it up a little and turn the woman into a giant purple mule with no head and fire spewing from the ragged neck-stump. This was during God's surrealist period.
Depending on the story, this monster straight from Dr. Seuss' nightmares is accessorized with a floating bridle, still has the voice of a woman and changes back into a normal, living hussy by day. We would argue with God about how little sense this makes as a punishment, but then he'd probably turn us into octopus mummies or vampire watermelons or something.
"Seriously, Yahweh, cool it with the research chemicals."
It's also said that either removing the floating bridle or simply stabbing the spirit would transform it back into a naked whore who would have no choice but to marry the man who broke her curse. It's kind of like the legend of pulling a sword out of a stone to become king, only you're stabbing a headless mule to nail a hooker, so actually, no, nothing at all like that.
It's theorized that the story emerged from Catholic lore in Brazil to counter the nature-worshipping pagan religions of the locals and to really push the importance of celibacy onto Catholic priests. Because nobody wants a village-terrorizing, galloping, flame-throwing ghost-hooker on his conscience.
The regular ones are trouble enough.
#2. The Hairy Toe
The American folk tale of the hairy toe is absurdly popular all over the Western world, with many variations on detail, but they all follow the same basic plot: A woman finds a huge disembodied toe in the garden, and her first instinct is to take it home and make a stew out of it. Later that night, a murderous ghost appears, howling for the return of its severed appendage. True story.
What we find most striking about this tale is it's the only ghost story we know of in which the ghost is the least-frightening aspect. Somebody actually came up with this legend at some stage to scare kids on dark and/or stormy nights, but we think the point at which it really starts leaking out of the zone of credibility comes long before the apparition appears. Frankly, we're more concerned about the sort of person who sees a damn toe in the lawn and has a Pavlovian hunger response. What color is the sky in this universe?
And what is the state of cat/dog relations?
For all we know, this was first written back in the Great Depression or earlier, so sure, things were probably pretty bleak back then. But still, was there ever a time in history when "dinner" was an appropriate thought to have upon discovering a dismembered corpse? And God, why so specifically a hairy toe, as though that's part of the appeal?
When you think of it this way, is there any aspect of the ghost's vengeful response that doesn't seem completely reasonable? For all we know, the woman just ate the only evidence that could have led CSI to the killer.
He's putting on his mourning shades.
#1. The Highgate Chicken Ghost
We'll preface this with the fact that this is a "real" haunting that some people out there honestly believe. The story begins at Highgate Pond in England with the philosopher and scientist Sir Francis Bacon, who in 1626 had an argument with his friend Dr. Witherbone over how to preserve meat, and probably also over who had the funnier name.
Sir Bacon suggested that perhaps keeping meat cold could make it last longer, but being a doctor in the 1600s, Witherbone found the suggestion as asinine as washing your hands before surgery. To prove his point, Bacon went out and got himself a chicken, plucked it, cleaned it, stuffed it with snow and invented the first frozen chicken. Then he caught pneumonia and died, making him a martyr for KFC.
The leeches aren't working ... bring me more mercury!
The site of Bacon's death is said to have been haunted ever since, but not by any human soul; for over 300 years, the site of Bacon's experiment has been haunted by the ghost of the chicken he killed.
Like you wouldn't be pissed.
Ever since shortly after Bacon's death, people at Highgate Pond have reported seeing a plucked, headless chicken running around in circles and pecking for grubs with the beak it doesn't have. The sightings endured through the World War II, during which, military troops stationed nearby tried to catch the chicken ghost for their dinner, because, as we've already mentioned, the first thing that should come to your mind after discovering some spectral abomination upon nature is what it would taste like with a side of mashed potatoes.
The chicken ghost was last sighted around 1970, when a canoodling couple was interrupted in their yard by a prudish poultrygeist that disapproved of public displays of affection.
Local authorities suspect the chicken ghost of being behind a number of novelty chicken factory bombings.
There hasn't been any news of the demon chook since then, so presumably it completed its unfinished business and moved on to a higher plane.

I just heard "去你的头" in a joke, and while it sounds like an approving "go ahead" OR "go with your head/what you think" I realized at the end of the joke it's kind of an equivalent of "go f*** yourself" in English. Can someone confirm this is what it means. What are some other sayings that are similar to this?

Well, it's not the entire phrase 去你的头...
Even though you should be learning more useful phrases... here are some more ambiguous favorites:
From stories:
I'll try to think of more.
Expanding on @simonmysun's answer "你的头" at the end of a sentence can be used as a gentle rebuke and said with a mocking or sarcastic tone.
Similar to "that's what you think" or "yeah, right!" at the end of an English sentence.
Sometimes my son might ask to eat chocolate right when dinner is served and the English conversation goes something like this:
My son: "I'm just going to eat some chocolate now" (while opening the fridge door)
My wife: "Chocolate, yeah right! Go and wash your hands"
In our house this would be in Chinese and go something like this:
儿子: "我要吃一个巧克力吧!"
妈妈: "巧克力你的头!你快点去洗手。"
You see in this case "你的头" is suitable for use with children and not like telling someone to go f*** themselves.
Go ahead!
Here's the joke:
A employee said to his Chinese employer, 'Can I go for a trip?' 'Go ahead!' he responsed. The employee started packing his luggage happily. His colleague reminded:'At the employer's level, his word "go ahead" must means "去个头!"'
23333 (which means, LOL)
P.S. "去个头" and "去你的头" are the same meaning. And "Go a head" is just paraphrased "去" "个" "头".
Actually, the phrase "verb. + 个头" or "verb. + 你的头" itself can be an negative answer to a question. But used when the two know each other very well. Or the one who answers is at a higher level.
it's usually used among friends, when A told a joke or B laughed at somebody, you can use "去你的" as a response.
I mean "f*** you" is a little bit strong tongue.
You can take it as " Come on~ " " You are joking " ...
Some similar phrase: 少来了(not serious);*你说笑呢(you're joking)* ; 一边儿去(get away from me)
PS : there is a different context, when argue happens. It means "f**k off" "get out ". (Chinese: 滚蛋)

Clinton, Saudi Foreign Minister tout strong cooperation
July 31, 2009
U.S. Secretary of State Hillary Clinton and Saudi Foreign Minister Prince Saud Al-Faisal on Friday stressed the strong cooperation between the two countries.
During a statement made at the U.S. Department of State, which centered mainly on the goal of achieving Middle East peace, Clinton spoke of the two countries' "mutual respect and mutual interest" and their partnership on several key issues. Both Clinton and Prince Saud expressed a mutual investment in getting Iran to abide by international standards with their nuclear program, combating terrorism and extremism, Afghanistan and Pakistan, and working to strengthen the struggling global economy.
At the end of her statement, and before taking questions from a handful of reporters, Clinton said she looks forward to working to "broaden and deepen our [the United States and Saudi Arabia's] partnership." She specifically touted Saudi King Abdullah's "reforms" in the country, specifically the naming of a woman to the position of Deputy Minister of Girls Education.
Prince Saud also expressed appreciation for the opportunity to have a "frank, honest and open" discussion with Clinton, and said their coordinated efforts to achieve peace in the Middle East has "reflected the maturity of this relationship" between the two countries.
The Saudi Foreign Minister spoke to the historic U.S.-Saudi relationship, saying "our two nations have been friends and allies for over seven decades. We have seen the coming and breaking of many storms. Over time, our relationship has grown stronger, broader, and deeper."
He also said that given the "long list of common challenges" between the two countries, a Strategic Dialogue was established in 2005 with the goal of working to "institutionalize the relationship between our two countries."
Clinton also addressed a question posed by a reporter from U.S.-government backed Radio Sawa about the potential of removing Sudan from the list of state sponsors of terror, following U.S. Special Envoy Major General Scott Gration's suggestion to do so. "We have made no decision to lift the listing on the terrorist list of Sudan. As you know, there's a very intensive review going on within the administration concerning our policy toward Sudan, but no decisions have been made," she said.

On the evening of July 10, 2013, at the conclusion of a three-day jury trial, Jose Perez-Aguilera was convicted of three crimes and acquitted of five other crimes by the jury of eight women and four men.
The Defendant was found guilty of two counts of Aggravated Indecent Liberties with a Child, each of which carry a penalty of life in prison which results in the Defendant having to serve 25 calendar years in prison before he would be eligible to apply for parole. The Defendant was also found guilty of Aggravated Intimidation of a Witness which has a possible penalty of between 17 months and 46 months in prison, depending on the defendant's criminal history. The jury acquitted the Defendant of
Rape and four counts of Aggravated Criminal Sodomy. The victim in this case was a female from Dodge City, KS, who is currently 12 years of age. This case was prosecuted by Ford County Attorney, Natalie K. Randall, and by Assistant Ford County Attorney, David Belling. At the conclusion of the trial the Defendant's bond was revoked and he was taken into custody. Sentencing will be held after the preparation of a Presentence Investigation Report, which usually takes about 45-60 days.

I'm trying to install xubuntu 12.10 on a 2007 macbook. I have burned the .iso file on a cd correctly and it boots on my desktop, however when I try to boot it on the laptop, while it seems to boot, at some point before loading up any ubuntu graphics or kernel messages, the cd spins down and the screen is stuck displaying a blinking cursor.
I tried rebooting the machine several times but it always does the same.
Although the drive should be worn out (it's a five year old laptop and most of apple stuff is not designed to be usable for that long in the end) both the already installed xubuntu and macos can read the disk correctly.
Any suggestions on how I could boot it?

The 5 Most Hilarious Ways Anyone Ever Failed at Their Job
#2. Two Submarine-Detecting Subs Crash into Each Other
The entire point of a submarine is that you don't know it's there. They were invented to sneak up under ships and blow their asses to hell from the dark, silent depths of the ocean. So over the last several decades, the technology for detecting submarines has advanced just as quickly as the subs themselves -- especially considering that those submarines carry nukes now.
"Take that, you stupid-ass whales!"
In February 2009, two subs equipped with the latest in sub-detection technology -- the British submarine HMS Vanguard, and its French counterpart, Le Triomphant -- were both submerged in the middle of the Atlantic Ocean. So there they were, happily ambling around the Atlantic, their computers specifically designed to go "bing" every time another submarine was nearby, when they ran right the fuck into each other. Both the Vanguard and the Triomphant took some serious damage, but luckily, their awesome names survived intact.
The thing is, all technology aside, an ocean is a big place. So big, in fact, that a regular ship crashing into another takes some serious bad luck. Add in the third dimension that comes with the fact that said vessels are submarines, and this collision seems like the kind of thing that would be hard to do even on purpose.
Especially after the 1966 McCartney Law made crash-preventing yellow paint mandatory.
By the way, while nobody was injured in the crash, the crash becomes less hilarious when you realize that both subs had nuclear reactors and were carrying nuclear weapons, making the whole shebang just a hair's width away from a complete disaster on a potentially planet-wrecking scale. In fact, just a slightly stronger collision could have scattered nuclear warheads along the seabed like a trail of world-ending breadcrumbs.
So how the hell does this happen? The leading theory is that both ships featured anti-detection technology that was strong enough to override their supposedly hardcore detection equipment. And modern technology still has not advanced to the point that we can install windows in the damned things.
And if we keep it on the surface so we can step out and look around, it loses its "sub" title, becoming just a plain ol' marine.
#1. A Monument Celebrating American Manufacturing Is Made in China
The city of Toledo, Ohio, boasts a long-standing legacy of brilliant glassmaking (as if we needed to tell you that). Toledo glassmakers have always been masters of their field -- they even started the studio glass movement of the 1960s, which gave the world a brand new art movement to yawn at. Although its glass industry has diminished in recent years, Toledo still cherishes its nickname of "Glass City." So it was just a matter of time before they built a monument for their unsurpassed historical glassitude.
Via Toledomuseum.org
Toledo, Ohio: Because fuck birds.
In 2006, the Toledo Museum of Art commissioned the building of a wondrous glass pavilion. The $30 million structure was a tribute to Toledo glassmakers, singing praise to their efforts and skill. It's just too bad the museum's celebration of local glassmakers didn't extend to actually employing any: Every single piece of glass used for the pavilion was made in China.
Despite the fact that the structure was specifically designed to commemorate American glassmaking, they gave the job to a competing country that happily complied -- using techniques that were pioneered by Toledo glassmakers.
Via Toledomuseum.org
Gaze in wide-eyed wonder as the Chinese remind us of what we were once capable of.
To be fair, Toledo's status as a glassmaking juggernaut has been on the wane. The design of the insanely complicated pavilion was just too much for the local talent, which is why they gave the job to the Chinese. From a business standpoint, it makes sense. It doesn't change the fact that they designed a monument of American craftsmanship so awesome that American craftsman couldn't actually build it.

Salina police are investigating a recorded incident that appears to show an officer from the department throwing a person to the ground during an altercation outside a bar.
Lt. Scott Siemsen told The Salina Journal (http://bit.ly/16xbX4R ) the incident is being investigated, but he declined further comment.
The 4½ -minute video posted online by a bystander had more than 20,000 views by Wednesday morning.
In the video, several people are outside a Salina bar when police arrive. An officer is shown walking over to a person and throwing him to the ground. Later the video appears to show someone being taken in handcuffs to a police squad car.
Interim Police Chief Carson Mansfield says no outside agencies have been asked to assist.

I took an "intro to electronic music" class in university, and we watched several films that demonstrated the evolution of electronic music in cinema. I am trying to remember one of them we watched.
I believe it was black-and-white, and had something to do with analyzing someone's dream. They are trying to figure out a mystery by analyzing what someone is dreaming. I believe it was a bit of a mystery movie, a bit psychological. The only image I remember in the movie was in the dream there was a house-like building, and on the roof was a maybe a deformed wheel and it was supposed to represent a gun. I think.
And because of the context in which I watched it, I assume it has a remarkable soundtrack for some reason or another.
I hope this is enough to go on. I really don't remember any more than that.

To the editor:
Another round of elections has passed and another group of school levies has failed. This is a tradition. All of the schools which had levy issues on the ballot are voicing the same concerns about funding and the inability to operate based on the current allowances by the state. The taxpayers keep crying about fewer taxes, fixed income and a depressed area. This has pretty much been the scenario since the early 1980s, and I really don't see a change in our future.
The people have spoken and they have decided not to use their local control, as the state likes to spout, to care for their local districts. My proposal is to eliminate the number of districts in Jefferson County and merge Edison, Indian Creek and Buckeye into one local school district. Cut the fat, as the saying goes. We would eliminate the cost of the number of school boards down to one, one superintendent, two assistant superintendents, one treasurer, fewer administrative support staff, etc. We could put the savings from the reduction in administration into more teachers and technology, and make it work where the rubber meets the road.
The area has prepared for it. Buckeye Local has a nice building to the south (Jefferson South) and we could build a new school somewhere on state Route 43 (Jefferson North.) We could use the present Edison High School as a middle school and they could have one or two elementary schools. The present Indian Creek has a nice new junior high, Hills Elementary School and can make a great elementary on the present high school-Buchanan campus. Buckeye also has properties that could be utilized or we could also opt for a new facility for it.
We could reduce the overlapping bus routes, purchase products from computers, books and even toilet paper in bulk, and even leave room for fantastic sports teams. It's a win all around. The students will be educated, the taxpayers will get what they pay for and we will have a new base to rebuild the Ohio Valley. The districts are presently fighting for the same dollar in many cases due to open enrollment. This is an alternative to the presently floundering districts that have to beg, borrow and steal to survive.
Let's make a change for the better and consolidate before they all fail. The alternative is staying on course and keeping the cycle of begging and denying ongoing. It's only the future we are voting against and who cares after we're gone? I, for one, do. It's time to merge.

I am self-studying Discrete Mathemamatics and I've found the following example (in Portuguese).
Find an arithmetic progression with four terms $(a, a+r,a+2r,a+3r)$ such that the sum of its terms is $16$ and the product is $105$.
The author start by saying that we can assume that its terms are of the form $(y-3r,y-r,y+r,y+3r)$. I didn't understand that statement.
Here's what I did to prove his claim: The sum of its terms is equal to $4a+6r$. Then I put $y=2a+3r$ and then I get the arithmetic progression $(\dfrac{y-3r}{2},\dfrac{y-r}{2},\dfrac{y+r}{2},\dfrac{y+3r}{2})$. As you can see I was not able to prove his claim. What am I doing wrong?
I would appreciate your help.

I've read so many variables on what I'm trying to do, I thought it better to ask outright.
I've been through a few installs and upgrades of Ubuntu but never had my system (root) drive encrypted. Just found out about
lvm and installed a fresh 12.4 alternate without touching my old and seperate
/home folder (encrypted I'm sure, although accessible now with root privileges) on another SSD.
I encrypted the (new)
/home during install. I am looking to combine the two
/home folders and set up existing swap partition that lies on the old
/home drive (as I removed the standard swap during install due to a lack of space on the root drive).
Can I do both actions with the

I've only been using SO for about a month, but I think I've noticed an increase in impatient responses to poorly-worded questions. I may even have been guilty of it myself.
Of course 'poorly-worded question' is a euphemism. We see questions expressed as bold statements, even demands for information. Sometimes there's absolutely no hint that the OP has done any research, and I've seen many examples of serial offenders.
I think the impatience will get worse unless something is done to relieve the pressure.
Can anything be done?
I didn't see anything in the FAQ about how to ask a polite question.
EDIT: I'm not really talking about rude or offensive responses, and I'm not going to point the finger at anyone in particular.
I'm wondering if there is (or could be) a standard response to unanswerable questions — an entry in the FAQ which explains in the politest way the need to do homework/research before asking a question; and how to phrase a question so it doesn't seem like a demand.
Is there a response which doesn't require the effort of repeatedly explaing the 'rules' to OPs who, it has been pointed out, probably won't read or understand comments?

I'm trying to see why there is no (one-dimensional) foliation of $S^2$ or an orientable surface of genus two. Originally I was thinking that such a foliation could give me a non-vanishing vector field, which would be a contradiction, but now I have learned that line fields don't necessary lift to vector fields. Is it still something that depends on Euler characteristic $0$ so that the torus is the only orientable surface with a foliation?
A line field $L$ on a manifold $M$ need not come from a vector field. The trouble is that you might not be able to orient the lines in the various tangent spaces in a coherent way. However, if $L$ is not orientable, then there exists a $2$-fold cover $\tilde{M}$ of $M$ and a lift $\tilde{L}$ of $L$ to to $\tilde{M}$ which is orientable. This implies that $\tilde{M}$ has a nonvanishing vector field, and thus has Euler characteristic $0$. Since Euler characteristic is multiplicative in covers, this implies that $M$ has Euler characteristic $0$.
In response to your question on Chris Gerig's answer :
A manifold admits a 1-dimensional foliation iff its Euler characteristic is zero.

My son has had poor vision for a while and wears glasses. He's always struggled in school, and I'm wondering if his vision problems are to blame.
– Victoria
Your doctor and eye specialist know your son's history best, but generally if a child's vision is corrected with glasses, it's not likely that a vision problem is causing learning difficulties. Still, some kids might struggle in school if their prescription changes and they're wearing glasses that are outdated. Make sure that your son's vision is checked while he's wearing his glasses to be sure they're the right prescription.
If his vision isn't the problem, you might want him to be evaluated by a doctor who specializes in learning problems. Such problems are common — and sometimes subtle. Once better defined, steps can be taken to improve his academic situation.

When King County detectives arrested a couple last month, they say they discovered a storage unit filled with personal items taken from all over the Pacific Northwest.
Karen and Josh are two burglary victims invited by police to shift through pile after pile of recovered goods inside Sammamish City Hall.
"My grandmother's pearls were taken," Karen says of an irreplaceable item taken by thieves.
From jewelry, purses, and credit cards, to a few autographed baseballs and war medals, there are dozens of families who hope to be reunited with precious items stolen from them.
Detective Larry Zydek says it was a unique guitar that cracked the case last November after a woman pawned it in Tacoma.
"We looked around a little bit for her," Detective Zydek says. "Couldn't find her at the time."
In June, the woman resurfaced in Gig Harbor where she pawned jewelry, so Detective Zydek dug deeper and found a photo of her boyfriend that looked similar to surveillance video of a suspect in Bellevue.
"So we're comparing these two photos, and we're saying, 'Boy, that's him'," Detective Zydek says.
When police arrested the woman's boyfriend, Steven Tipton, they found a storage unit in Puyallup rented by Tipton's girlfriend. The unit was filled to the brim with loot that is now laid out in Sammamish City Hall.
Last week, detectives called Josh and Karen to tell them they found some of their things. They recovered the couple's safe that was full of birth certificates and passports, along with other personal items like Karen's grandmother's pearls.
"I'm kind of happy to get our identity back," Karen says. "Happy to get some emotional stuff back."

Unanswered: Script busy error message
Hi All,
In our application, we are using GWT 2.2.0 and GXT 2.2.3. In this, we have most of the functionality depending on the grid operations like hiding/deleting the rows, calculating the cell values of the row & adding the same to another grid, applying colors to the cell values based on some conditions. Some windows have more than 2 grids.
Here, my problem is : If we get more than 100 records from the DataBase , we are getting an alert box "Warning:Unresponsive script" stating "A script on this page may be busy, or it may have stopped responding. You can stop the script now, or you can continue to see if the script will complete" in all browsers.
We are also getting the same warning message in IE7 browser even though the no.of records are less than 100.
Can anyone help me to resolve this issue.
Thanks in advance,
Madhusudhan T.

Are you loading both grids at the same time? Are these grids very large (many columns)? Are you testing in Web Mode? Dev Mode is expected to take longer, and may produce more of these warnings, but does not mean that web mode will as well.
You say you are seeing this in IE7 - The script error warnings in IE arrive not because of the amount of time the code has been running, but because of the number of JavaScript operations. After some limit is reached, IE pauses running JavaScript and asks the user if they want to keep going. This means that writing 'less expensive' that still take the same number of instructions will not fix this kind of problem - nor will using a faster computer.
Instead, you usually need to break the problem into smaller pieced. If both grids are being filled at once, consider breaking that into two deferred commands (using the GWT Scheduler class). If these are very wide grids, you might possibly need to load each one in batches.
More details about your problem or specific code samples will make it easier to provide a solution. You may find it helpful to start with an example at http://sencha.com/examples-2/ and make it more complex until it hits this same issue, then share that so there is a complete example we can run.

What helped me get through that difficult time was reading the bible. There were a few scriptures I found comforting.

Ok, simple question, having trouble understanding this in school. So given a set of 3 points (xy-plane), such as
(40,30) (60,28) (20,25)
i have to find the equation of the parabola. I understand that you need to use the inverse of the matrix of the values of a,b and c and multiplied by your answers to the 3 equations. However my problem is that i cannot figure out or understand how to make the original equations used for the matrix to solve it. So can anyone explain how i come up with a system of equations to use to solve the matrix, given these 3 points?

This is very similar to this question however the only problem is that I'm running solely Windows OS on my PC. I also only sync with google calendars and that's all. However, it appears the sync doesn't match the calendar colors. Is there anyway to synchronize or directly change colors on the iPod/iPhone?
A partial-workaround is suggested on this Google thread:
I just opened calendars in google on my laptop. Changed the colour of it there. Then just clicked the sync button on my iPod in the list of calendars. The colours and name changes just synced. I have iOS 5.1

How many solutions to the equation $x_1 + x_2 + x_3 = 11$ for positive integers, are there??
Please explain your answer as much as possible.
How many solutions to the equation $x_1 + x_2 + x_3 = 11$ for positive integers, are there??
Please explain your answer as much as possible.
Consider your question as if you have 11 sites, and you have to put 2 barriers that would split those sites into 3 groups.
Your constraint is that x1,x2,x3 should be positive, i.e. 0 is not a valid value. Means you may not put 2 barriers at the same joint. Also the barrier may not be put at the end. This leads to the following:
Hence the answer is C (11-1) over (3-1). Which is (11-1)! / [ (11-3)! * (3-1)! ] = 45
The first exercise of the first section of the first chapter of the first volume of George Pólya and Gábor Szegő's masterpiece does it this way: for every positive integers $a_k$ and every nonnegative integer $b$, the number of nonnegative integer solutions of the equation $a_1x_1+\cdots+a_nx_n=b$ is the coefficient of $t^b$ in the series $$ s(t)=\prod_{k=1}^n\frac1{1-t^{a_k}}. $$ The proof is by inspection once one notes that, for every positive integer $a$, $$ \frac1{1-t^{a}}=\sum\limits_{x=0}^{+\infty}t^{ax}. $$ Hence the product which defines $s(t)$ is $$ s(t)=\prod_{k=1}^n\sum\limits_{x_k=0}^{+\infty}t^{a_kx_k}=\sum\limits_{x_1,\ldots,x_n}t^{a_1x_1+\cdots+a_nx_n}, $$ and the coefficient of $x^b$ is the number of ways of writing $b$ as a sum $a_1x_1+\cdots+a_nx_n$.
You are looking at the case $n=3$, $a_1=a_2=a_3=1$ and $b=11-3=8$ hence looking for the coefficient of $t^8$ in the series $$ s(t)=\frac1{(1-t)^3}=\frac12\frac{\text{d}^2}{\text{d}t^2}\frac1{1-t} =\frac12\frac{\text{d}^2}{\text{d}t^2}\sum\limits_{k=0}^{+\infty}t^k=\frac12\sum\limits_{k=0}^{+\infty}(k+2)(k+1)t^k, $$ hence the answer is $\frac12(8+2)(8+1)=45$.
This is purely a Question based upon the combinations and permutations, let me try.
In general we have the standard result $x_1+x_2+.......x_n=k\:$ then number of positive integer solutions is given by $(n+k-1)_{\large C_{k}}$ so according to your question it's $(3+11-1)_{\large C_{11}}$ which is $13_{\large C_{11}}=78$.
I hope I have put forward what I knew, I hope that it's correct, but leave it to scholars of this site to decide whether it's correct or not.
This is one of the "balls in boxes" problems; you have a collection of k empty boxes in which you want to put n objects. Let's do first the more general case where boxes may be empty (i.e., $x_i=0$ is allowed) , and then we can do your case where $x_i>0$.
So, this is a method used: we put all n objects and k boxes side-by-side. Then the idea is that every partition of these (k+n) objects into (k-1) parts is a sum $x_1+x_2+...+x_k=n$ (by partition, we mean that we put a total of k dividers after certain of the objects and boxes). How so? If we put , say, the 1st divider after box $x_i$, that is used to mean that we put a total of i objects in the 1st box; if we put the second divider at place j , then that means that there are (j-i) objects in the second box, and so on. So for any assignment of dividers, we have an assignment $x_1,x_2,...,x_k$, with $x_1+x_2+...+x_k=n$. That gives us a total of ${n+k-1} \choose {k-1}$ possible assignments; note we use k-1 instead of k, because once we have chosen k-1 dividers, the number of objects for the $k$th box is just given by all the objects that are left.
Now, let's consider the case where $x_i>0$. We then throw an object into each of the boxes (for a total of k objects we are throwing in) , so that we have a total of $n+k-1-k=n-1$ places left, to make sure no box is empty, and then we "recur" , by using the method above, i.e., we now find all solutions to $x_1+....+x_k=n-k$ , and we get ${n-1}\choose {k-1}$.
As a small example, take 4 objects to be put into 3 boxes. We then lay out in a line, the 3 objects , followed by the three boxes. Notice that if you put dividers behind objects ,say, 1 ,2,3 respectively . This is then the combination $x_1=x_2=x_3=1$

The title says it all. I've tried searching information on opium use in Europe, but I can't find any source that says whether or not opium dens were ever prominent in Russia specifically.
There is solid evidence that Chinese Muslims who immigrated to Russia brought Opium there in the nineteenth century. From Svetlana Rimsky- Korsakoff Dyer article for the Australian National University entitled "Karakunuz: An Early Settlement of the Chinese Muslims in Russia"
She then details the "Big Tokmak" in the Russian city of Karakunuz, which amongst other things serves as an opium den. Although from her description it appears that it isn't like the English and French opium dens in which the focus was on opium. Depending on your description of an 'opium den', the Big Tokmak may not even qualify as such despite the fact that opium smoking did take place there.
The emphasized text indicates that opium was grown throughout the Zhetysu province (in which Karakunuz resides), incorporated into the Russian empire in the nineteenth century and now a part of Kazakhstan.
Despite this, there is little evidence (that I can find) that opium gained the same prominence in Russia as it did in England, France, and America. It is possible that opium became more popular in those countries due to the forced trade of opium in China as a means of maintaining control over the populace and deriving profits. These merchants who were blessed by those European powers to trade opium in China then brought opium back to their home countries.
I don't know too much about Russia's involvement in the Chinese Opium trade, but what evidence I have come across suggests they largely kept out of it. If this is true this would be supportive of that hypothesis.

Is there any way to "farm" for orens in The Witcher 2?
There are several ways to gain orens continually
There are certain monsters than respawn, so you can farm them for alchemy and crafting ingredients and sell them. The respawning ends in many cases once you complete the quest for eliminating those monsters.
The three minigames are also a possible source of money, there are usually opponents you can challenge an unlimited amount of times, each time earning money.
The fastest way to make money involves the old quarry outside Vergen and harpees. Run all the way to the bottom killing harpees on the way and collecting their body parts as you go. When you are at the bottom and all harpees are dead, walk up the little trail where the treasure chest is and wait a few hours. The harpees will have re-spawned when you leave the meditation screen. Do the same on the way up and out of the quarry. Go past the shack and wait again and they will re-spawn again. You can do this an unlimited number of times. If you start this with nothing in your inventory but your armor and swords you can gather enough harpee parts to earn yourself around 3,000 dollars when you get heavy enough to have to go sell them all. It doesn't take long to rack up more money than you will need for the rest of the game.
I found the easiest way was definitely arm wrestling. Make sure you do the quest for arm wrestling, then when you get to the last opponent you can bet 100 orens on him and its super easy to win. Then just keep doing it over and over. 100 Orens every 10 seconds.

Let $F$ be a quasi-coherent sheaf on a scheme $X$. To check that $F$ vanishes it suffices to check that all the stalks of $F$ vanish. I would like to know whether it suffices to check that all the fibers of $F$ vanish.
(I think I am using standard terms: the tensor product over $O_X$ with the local ring at $x$ is the stalk, and the tensor product over $O_X$ with the residue field at $x$ is the fiber.)
It suffices to answer the question on an affine scheme. Let $R$ be a commutative ring. For each prime ideal $p$ of $R$ let $k(p)$ be the residue field of the local ring $R_p$. Let $M$ be an $R$-module, and suppose that $\mathrm{Tor}_i(k(p),M) = 0$ for all $i$ and all $p$. (Tor taken in the category of $R$-modules). Does it follow that $M = 0$?
If $M$ is finitely generated, the answer is yes. In that case $M$ vanishes even when $\mathrm{Tor}_0(k(p),M) = 0$ for all maximal $p$, by Nakayama's lemma. My question is whether there is a good replacement for Nakayama's lemma when $M$ is not finitely generated.

When building an engine, two of the most overlooked areas are pushrods and rocker arms. Similar to lifters that develop wear patterns to camshafts, pushrods form wear patterns in their seats. If balls & seats are mismatched, premature failure will result. Thus replacing pushrods and rocker arms is strongly advised when building an engine. Sold each or in sets, pushrods can be used with guide plates.
Bracket Master II Pushrods Performance Replacement Pushrods (LPR) Pro-Series Pushrods Signature Series Pushrods Sportsman Pushrods
Special heat-treated balls are welded to the ends of Bracket Master II Pushrods, making them ideal replacements for worn stock rods.
Made of premium 1010 steel, these affordable heat-treated pushrods provide extra strength and rigidity where needed most.
Made of heat-treated carbon nitrited chrome moly steel, specially-formed one-piece swedged ends give Pro-Series Pushrods their remarkable strength for high spring pressure and high-RPM engines. Anytime valvetrain geometry is changed due to milling heads, small base circle cams, different rocker arm ratios, etc., it becomes necessary to replace stock length pushrods with custom pushrods. Many Lunati Pro-Series Pushrods are offered in the custom lengths you need without the wait or custom cost.
Signature Series Pushrods are made from .080" wall carbonitrided seamless chrome moly tubing, and specifically designed for serious street performance and race applications. The swedged ends add material in the tip, which is vital for maximum strength and durability. These Pushrods are heat treated to eliminate the possibility of stress fractures and then finished with a black oxide treatment, creating the ultimate option for high horsepower and high RPM engines.
Sportsman Pushrods utilize a one-piece .080" wall body that is manufactured from 4130 chrome moly steel for an overall stronger yet lighter pushrod. The chrome moly is heat treated to eliminate flexing, which in turn increases durability under the stress of high-lift camshafts and high-rev valve springs. Lastly, Sportsman Pushrods are black oxide treated to prevent corrosion, making them the perfect fit for street performance and mild race applications.

DB Grant Haley (5-10 180) of Atlanta attended USC's junior day and is very interested in the Gamecocks at this point. "I liked it a lot," said Haley who has a Gamecock offer. "I liked the atmosphere and the stadium. Football seems like a priority. The coaches seem like they care about each player. I like coach Ward a lot. We're getting a better relationship. He knows what he's doing. If I go there, I'd have a chance to play." Haley also has offers from Florida and Tennessee. Vanderbilt, Georgia, Duke, Georgia Tech and Alabama are showing interest. Haley said he might go to Georgia's junior day February 16th. Haley said man coverage is one of his strengths. Last season he had 7 interceptions to go along with 40 tackles.Tweet

Multimodality bladder-sparing treatment regimens, consisting of limited surgery, followed by concurrent chemoradiation, is an area of intense interest. Initial phase I/II data have been collected looking at the use of neoadjuvant chemotherapy.
To conduct a randomized prospective trial to assess possible long-term benefit of neoadjuvant chemotherapy in patients with muscle-invading bladder cancer. Design study to evaluate effect of MCV (methotrexate, cisplatin, vinblastine) on following parameters:
A total of 123 eligible patients with clinical stage T2-T4a nonmetastatic bladder cancer were randomized to either receive (arm 1 = 61 pts) or not receive (arm 2 = 62 pts) neoadjuvant chemotherapy. All patients first underwent transurethral resection of the bladder (TURB). This was followed by 2 cycles of neoadjuvant MCV chemotherapy in arm 1 only. Both arms then received concurrent chemoradiation (cisplatin x 1 + 4-field pelvic radiation) followed by a 4-week break. At that time all patients were restaged by clinical exam under anesthesia, cystoscopy with tumor-site biopsy and urine cytology. If a complete clinical remission was documented by the above three procedures, consolidation chemoradiation was given (cisplatin x 1 + boost radiation). If a complete clinical remission was not achieved, patients were recommended to undergo radical cystectomy at that time.
Patients were followed every 3 months for 2 years, then every 6 months, with median follow-up of 5 years.
The study only accrued 71% of its intended number of patients secondary to premature closure due to serious adverse effects from chemotherapy.
On subgroup analysis, there were two factors that approached statistical significance:
No survival benefit is seen with the use of neoadjuvant MCV chemotherapy in this study. However, the authors clearly admit the study is underpowered (not enough patients) to detect a survival difference. The main reason for that, in turn, is the study's premature closure secondary to an unexpectedly high rate of chemotherapy-related toxicity. In fact, only 74% of all patients were able to complete the protocol as specified or with minor changes. Thus it seems any conclusions derived from this trial are severely limited by the low number of patients who actually completed the trial as intended.
Nonetheless, it would appear that the benefit to risk ratio of using neoadjuvant MCV chemotherapy is unfavorable.
The authors encourage the study of new agents with more efficacy and less toxicity in the neoadjuvant setting of multimodality bladder-sparing therapy.
