Reviewed by: Drew Moghanaki MD, MPH
Source: The Journal of Urology 1982. Sep;128(3):502-4.
Initially, 59 and 47 patients were randomized to radiation and prostatectomy, respectively. However, there were patients in both groups who failed to receive their assigned treatments, and cross-over to the opposite treatment arm was allowed.
Analysis was performed by treatment given, and not by treatment intention.
The primary endpoint of failure was recorded as any 2 consecutive rises in PAP levels, or abnormal chest x-ray or bone scan.
Follow-up consisted of periodic physical examination, PAP levels, CXR, and bone scans. The trial was closed early due to inadequate funding, and after study closure, follow-up appointments were only encouraged, but not required.
Other problems include the 4-envelope randomization scheme, which is fraught with potential selection bias, as it allows the opportunity to know the randomization in up to 50% of patients. In addition, not all institutions completed the 4-patient randomization, raising concern for physician selection bias. The analysis was not intent-to-treat and permitted cross-over, neither of which is generally accepted practice in randomized studies. Pathologic stage C patients were excluded from the surgical arm but allowed in the radiation arm, and the rate of failure in the radiotherapy arm resembles a pattern more consistent with stage C patients. No median follow-up time is given, and no overall survival data are reported.
The authors do attempt to describe the radiotherapy technique; however, the information provided suggests a non-standard fractionation scheme during the whole-pelvis component of treatment. Additionally, although unpublished, it has been suggested that the vast majority of patients received only 6,500 cGy, which by today's standards is known to be sub-therapeutic.
There was no tissue validation reported for relapse, and no quality assurance was maintained for abnormal bone scans. Multiple reports have demonstrated a >30% rate of false positive bone scans in patients treated for prostate cancer. Additionally, it has become clear over time that elevated PAP levels can result from radiotherapy to bone, confounding this variable as a marker of failure in the radiotherapy group.
Regarding the current utility of this study in the treatment decision-making process for patients with locally confined prostate adenocarcinoma, it should be emphasized that the surgical procedure used, prostatectomy, has since been replaced with radical prostatectomy as the standard uro-oncologic approach for prostate cancer. Additionally, a 40% rate of incontinence among patients undergoing surgery is considered unacceptably high by today's standards.
It is unfortunate that the methodologic flaws present within the study preclude any meaningful conclusions regarding prostatectomy versus radiotherapy in organ-confined prostate cancer. Modern retrospective analyses have repeatedly suggested equivalency of surgery versus radiation in this patient population.3 Ultimately, however, it would be useful if an appropriately designed prospective randomized trial addressing this question could be conducted.

Installed a new fan/light today. Wiring appeared to be identical to old fan we removed.
- green ground to green ground on mounting bracket.
- white to white.
- black and blue to black.
Turned it on and all worked well for about 10 minutes at which time the fan blades stopped turning. Waited about an hour and again it worked well for about 10-15 minutes before fan stopped. I reviewed the manual and can't see anything indicating I did something incorrectly. The light continues to work normally.

Japan Claims Russia Breached Its Airspace
Moscow Denies Accusation; China Also Rebuts Claims From Tokyo That It Locked Radar on Japanese Naval Forces
Japan said Russian fighter jets intruded on its airspace for the first time in five years, raising tensions between the two countries at the same time that Tokyo is engaged in a similar high-stakes tangle with China.
Russia quickly denied Japan's accusation, but the simultaneous spats underscore the regional security challenges faced by a new Japanese prime minister elected on a promise to toughen his country's defense of its islands. It comes as the U.S.—Japan's chief military ally—has vowed to raise its presence in Asia, but the U.S. also faces budget cuts and is seeking to reduce its global military footprint as it winds down a decade of wars.
"Certainly, they are testing us and using the opportunity created by the Chinese diversion," said Narushige Michishita, a Northeast Asia security expert at Japan's National Graduate Institute for Policy Studies.
China also weighed in Friday, denying Tokyo's assertion that it had locked weapons-guiding radar onto Japanese naval forces, a move generally considered provocative.
Japan's Foreign Ministry said two Russian Su-27s violated airspace for just over a minute on Thursday over the island of Rishiri, near Hokkaido in the country's north, and that Japan then scrambled four F-2 fighter jets. The Japanese government launched a "severe protest" with the Russian Embassy, demanding that Moscow investigate. Its Air Self Defense Force distributed a picture that it said shows one of the Russian jets inside its airspace.
The Russian government denied it entered Japanese space. "Flights of military aircraft are…carried out in strict accordance with the international rules governing airspace and do not violate the border of other states," Defense Ministry spokesman Col. Alexander Gordeyev said Thursday.
The incident came on the day the Japanese government sets aside for an annual rally demanding the return of territories that Russia took over from Japan at the end of World War II—and as Russia was conducting scheduled military exercises around those islands.
The dispute over the islands—called the southern Kuril Islands by Russia and the Northern Territories in Japan—has kept the two countries from signing a peace agreement after World War II and continues to be a thorn in bilateral ties.
Prime Minister Shinzo Abe attended an event in Tokyo Thursday and told the crowd of his "resolve to do everything I can" to negotiate a return of the four islands.
Mr. Abe is known for his hawkish defense views, and the latest report of an incursion on Japanese territory could build public support for his efforts to strengthen the military.
The alleged incursions come against the background of the new administration's efforts to expand the military's role in regional defense, including a "collective self-defense" to help repel an attack on U.S. forces deployed in Asia.
Russia's alleged intrusion comes less than two months after Japan publicly accused China of illegally entering its airspace, in mid-December, amid an escalating territorial row in the East China Sea. The standoff between Tokyo and Beijing turned more tense this week, when Japan said China's military had locked weapons-guiding radar onto Japanese naval forces twice in January.
In a statement published Friday, China's Defense Ministry said the Japanese claims "do not match the facts," saying its forces had used normal radar for routine observation. It described the statement by Japanese officials as "irresponsible," and said Tokyo had "hyped up the so-called 'China threat,' recklessly created tension and misled international public opinion. We must be vigilant against and ponder such moves by Japan."
Japan's Foreign Ministry said this week that with a statement the incident "was an extremely provocative act that risks causing an unforeseen incident."
While Japan has been focused on its territorial dispute with China, Thursday's scramble against Russia was a reminder that the northern part of the Sea of Japan facing Russia can be as tense as the East China Sea to the south.
In fact, Japan in recent years has regularly conducted more scrambles against Russian jets nearing its airspace than it has against Chinese jets.
There were 180 scrambles against Russia in the last nine months of 2012, compared with 160 against Chinese planes, according to its Defense Ministry.
"In my view, Russia is gradually getting engaged in the race over the rights to various things around this area," Gen. Shigeru Iwasaki, the top uniformed official of the Japanese Self Defense Forces, said last month. "We must watch out for China of course, but also the Korean peninsula. And we must have a solid preparation for the north as well," he added.
Defense analysts said that if Japan's claims were correct it was likely no coincidence that Russia made its move Thursday, with Japan's military focused on China.
"They may be just testing the Japanese since they are preoccupied with the island issue" in the East China Sea, said James Hardy, a senior analyst for the Asian Pacific region with Jane's Defense Weekly, "It's been reported that the Japanese had all four of their AWACs down near the Senkakus," he said, referring to the southern island chain controlled by Japan but also claimed by China and Taiwan; they are called Diaoyu in Chinese. Japan owns four Boeing E-767 airborne warning and control system aircraft.
Beyond testing Japan's hardware, Russia may also be testing the resolve of Mr. Abe, long seen as one of Japan's more conservative politicians, who took office in December after his party won a landslide electoral victory. During the campaign, he accused the previous administration of failing to act aggressively enough to defend Japan's territories in disputes with its neighbors.
"Mr. Abe is seen as being a more assertive Japanese leader, but they may wonder what he will do when faced with two such challenges," said Mr. Michishita of the National Graduate Institute for Policy Studies.

Your Husband & You
By Rebecca Teti
Thursday: Marriage
(Join each day's Coffee Talk discussion: Mon: Parenting; Tues: Open Forum; Wed: NFP; Thu: Marriage; Fri: Education; Sat/Sun: Changing Roles)
Struggling in your marriage? Have some relationship advice to share? Have a marriage success story to share? Have a man/woman question? This weekly thread is the place to do it.
Come on in and join the conversation!
I'm trying to get my husband to stop drinking. He drinks at least a 6-pack a night, but denies that he has a drinking problem. He's not abusive or neglectful or anything like that. He's a wonderful husband to me and father to our two children. But I feel like I can't trust him to be responsible when he's drinking that much. Any advice would be wonderful.
Ask him why he is doing that. Talk about what the underlying causes are.
Unknown, You cannot "get him" to stop drinking. He has to do that. Have you gone to any Alanon meetings? They might help you. If he denies he has a problem, there isn't much you can do about it except put boundaries in place such as "no driving and drinking", "no making decisions when you are drinking" . Also, how does he react when you talk about it? Does he get defensive? There is an underlying cause that he needs to address.
J, Thank you for your response. I have experience with drinkers in my family, but never with an alcoholic husband. I really don't know what constitutes an alcoholic, but I know he drinks too much. He does get defensive, saying "I KNOW" when I tell him he has a problem, or tells me he's had "enough" when I ask him how many beers he's had. I know some of the issues (PTSD from being in NYC on 9/11), but I don't know how to handle them.

I mean, creating the new component like Button or GMap panel was created for Ext4j.
I have my own implementation of Portal component, that have new poperties and methods.
What I have to do that I could use this component/widget in Ext4j.
Another question is: Will Extjs - mixins works with Ext4j?
I'm interested in some proof contepts.
4 Mar 2013 1:37 PM #12
Yes you will be able to export that component. Pretty easely actually.
We allready exported a lof of components in Ext4j and are planing to add more.
We also have toturials about how to export Components to Ext4j.
Mixins also work. The tree filtering in the Ext4j explorer is done with mixins
The release should be out soon so you can have something to play with.
5 Mar 2013 4:37 AM #13
Where can I download to test it how can I do simple projects?
I want to taste it.
5 Mar 2013 10:33 AM #14
5 Mar 2013 5:10 PM #15
Just added a "Getting Started Module" the the demo app.
The jar should follow soon

Seems like a very similar concept to Ext.NET. Not saying that's a bad thing, just wanted to give the conversation some context.
I'm curious as to why you chose XML instead of a simpler format like JSON. Because this:
<x:Panel title="DatePicker" closable="false" bodyPadding="10" layout="vbox"> <x:DatePicker/> <x:Button text="Ext Button"/> <x:Slider increment="5" minValue="0" maxValue="100" width="200px"/> </x:Panel>
{ "xtype": "panel", "title": "DatePicker", "closable": false, "bodyPadding": 10, "layout": "vbox", "items": [ {"xtype": "DatePicker"}, { "xtype": "button", "text": "Ext Button" }, { "xtype": "slider", "increment": 5, "minValue": 0, "maxValue": 100, "width": 200 } ] }
7 Mar 2013 2:35 PM #17
I actually was nt aware of Ext.NET.
Thx for sharing.
There are few differences between Ext.NET and Ext4j though.
1) Ext.NET is a serverside Technology. Ext4j like any GWT application is clientside. That means that Ext4j applications can also run standalone inside Sencha iOn or Titanium.
2) Ext4j will be free of charge. We will implement and support the framework at no cost for the users.
Now to your question:
I did nt choose XML. This is a feature inside GWT called UI Binders. UI Binders allows developer the layout the UI using XML/HTML. I just added support for Ext JS.
I def prefer JSON over XML. But XML was the way the GWT choosed.
Also XML does have some advantages though.
In Ext4j you will be able to do something like
<x:Panel title="myPanel" width="200px" height="200px" layout="fit"> <g:HTML> <!-- You can write any HTML in here !> <h1> Hello World </h1> <div> <h1> GWT HTML Panel inside an Ext JS Panel </h1> </div> </g:HTML> </x:Panel>
12 Mar 2013 1:12 PM #18
Release date - very excited
I was wondering when the first GA release is coming .. also how can i download the jar file to play around with it..
Appreciate it.
- Harsh Singh
14 Mar 2013 3:20 PM #19
Thx for the interest.
Now that ExtJs 4.2 is out we want to see if we can add support for it.
So the GA release will be delayed a bit.
16 Mar 2013 5:11 PM #20
We also added clientside file generation to Ext4j.
See it in action here :
We are now wrapping things up for 1.0

The 7 Most Insane Things People Have Done While Sleepwalking
We've all done embarrassing things while sleeping. Maybe you drank too much Tang and wet the bed. Maybe you had to share a sleeping bag with grandma and she woke you up because you had a boner--we've all been there.
But trust us, it can get way, way worse than that. There are records of people who, in their sleep...
#7. Climb a 13-Story Crane
One night, London police were called about a possible suicide attempt on the counterweight of a crane at a construction project, where a young girl was perched precariously 130 feet in the air. So while helpful passersby probably shouted words of encouragement or took bets on how big the splat would be, a fireman climbed the crane to try to talk her down, only to find her sleeping.
That's right, the 15-year-old girl was sleepwalking so hard she climbed a fucking crane. Anyone who's ever had a flying dream knows that your unconscious mind sometimes gets sick of being trapped on this shithole your waking mind calls the ground. Her mind just decided to do something about it. Unfortunately, when the firefighter found her, she'd sleepwalked out onto a narrow beam and was in danger of having history's most realistic "falling dream" followed immediately by the much less common "having your body collected with a huge cartoon spatula dream."
Not wanting to alarm her and make her fall, the fireman did what any responsible public servant would and went through her personal belongings. He found her cell phone and gave her folks a call. Together, they hatched a plan to get the girl to safety. The fire fighter hung up and the parents called back, waking her up.
The only recorded instance of positive parental nagging.
Apparently the girl was unlike most teenagers, and did not have an indignation-seizure at the sight of a call from her parents. Two and a half hours later, she'd safely ridden a hydraulic lift back to the ground. Her parents noted to the press that she had a long history of sleepwalking and in their dry British wit wondered aloud what she'd climb up next. At which point some crude public servant nearby probably quipped, "Probably up some strange gentleman's dick, old chap!"
He of course would be referring to actual cases where sleepwalkers...
#6. Have Sex With Strangers
In Australia, a middle-aged woman had a quirky habit. She would wake up in the middle of the night, leave her house and fuck various strangers. This proved once again that a woman doesn't even have to be conscious to pick up dudes.
After months of her husband waking up to find their home littered with used condoms (and once finding his snoring spouse being actively nailed by a stranger) the wife and the world's most trusting spouse decided to get medical help.
Doctors were no doubt reluctant to believe the story, most likely thinking instead that the husband was suffering from one of the world's worst cases of gullible retardation. But the couple's anxiety over the incidents paired with a detailed examination proved that, sure enough, her actions were completely involuntary and a strange mixture of hot and creepy.
Hot and creepy, just like Fairuza Balk.
The condition, called Sleep Sex because doctors aren't the most creative people in the world, is caused by an REM behavioral disorder. The part of your mind that is supposed to stop you from moving when you're dreaming doesn't kick in, thus allowing you to actually act out your dreams.
Why that seems to only manifest itself in the form of porking strangers is anyone's guess. Though it presumably is easier to act out that kind of dream as opposed to the one where you and Urkel team up for a kung fu battle with Satan.
#5. Get a DUI, Pee on the Road and Assault a Cop
On a frigid Denver night in 2003, a quiet and unassuming nurse took an Ambien and went to bed. And then, shit got real.While still asleep, she got up, slugged down half a bottle of wine and got into her car only wearing a nightshirt in 20 degree weather. Drunken, sleep driving nurses are hardcore.
Because traffic rules are different when you're both drunk and asleep, she wrecked her car at an intersection, figured this was now the bathroom and popped a squat on the road. Two fully awake police officers, unaware of the finer points of drunken sleep pissing, came to arrest her, so she assaulted them because fuck those guys.
Prosecutors let her plead to just a reckless driving charge, though even that seems unfair if she was unconscious the whole time. It's almost like they were unclear as to exactly what parts of the ordeal the woman was asleep for, versus the parts where she was awake and just decided to go with the flow.
Less pissy but equally angry at the waking world was British house painter Sean Joyce, who, by the way, also took an Ambien before snoozing on a flight from Charlotte, NC to London.
Drowning his sorrows for being British, Joyce then drank two glasses of wine before falling asleep. This is the point in the story where you can assume things turned out poorly. Joyce jumped out of his seat, tore off his shirt like The Hulk and stormed around the plane cabin threatening to kill himself and other passengers. Joyce claimed he remembered none of it, and got off with five days time served.
#4. Gorge Oneself
When Anna Ryan inexplicably gained 60 pounds, she sought medical help. Her doctor presumably checked to make sure she hadn't taken up competitive eating--or had maybe been substituting bacon for water in most of her recipes--before finally getting the idea to set up a sleep study.
A disorder presumably responsible for Kevin Federline's current condition.
Ryan was surprised to learn she was eating while asleep, but not in the midnight snack sort of way. She actually got up in the middle of the night, grabbed a box of Little Debbies and, one by one, ate every single chocolaty, cream-filled snack cake right there in her bed, all while still asleep. If her dreams involved hot dogs on a conveyor belt we'll never know.
The condition is cleverly called "sleep eating" and it's more common in women than men--presumably because if a guy subconsciously wants to eat a whole box of Little Debbies during the day, he doesn't repress it. He just shrugs and starts unwrapping that shit.
Luckily for those who unknowingly whip up a fondue at 3am and then promptly consume it while muttering about how they're at work without pants, medication is available to sleep eaters. There are also nutritional exercises which, without looking into it any further, we figure involve squat thrusts while making sandwiches.
Though it seems like all of that is a lot of trouble when a simple refrigerator alarm would do the trick.

Short answer
.exe files are not binary-compatible with Ubuntu. There are, however, compatibility layers for Linux, such as
Detailed answer and solutions
The underlying problem:
Ubuntu is a completely different system than MS Windows. Not only it looks differently, but it also uses different mechanisms for its core functions.
The problem with .exe files is that they are specific to Windows. No other system is capable of running them, because their contents are designed to work on a Microsoft's system. Linux uses different standards, different concepts, and therefore Ubuntu applications need to be adapted to them to work correctly.
If you have just migrated from Windows and are doing your baby steps with Ubuntu, you may be indeed surprised that .exe files fail to run. There may be different symptoms, either an error message may appear, or there may be no effect at all when double-clicking an .exe. This all happens, because Ubuntu has no idea what should it do to run that file. Ubuntu is not knowledgeable about how MS Windows works "behind the curtain", and therefore it can't execute the code that's within them. In technical jargon, one says that Windows and Linux executables are not binary-compatible.
Looking for alternatives
The first thing you should do is to realise that most likely you do not want to run that .exe file. Most Windows applications you are used to have their Ubuntu alternatives in Ubuntu Software Center.
Therefore the very first step when you try to run an .exe file is to check whether there is a Ubuntu version of the same application (like Firefox - it has both a Windows and Ubuntu edition), or a close alternative, which is not the same app, but does 99% the same stuff. For example, if you want to compose a document, instead of MS Office you will want to use LibreOffice.
How can I find an alternative?
Here are some tips.
Okay, but not all applications have alternatives. There are a number of cases where you will want to run the .exe program anyway. Examples include:
Luckily, you can get .exe files to run on Ubuntu.
Running .exe files on Ubuntu with WINE
What is Wine? Well, technically it's a compatibility layer. What it means is that it provides an environment similar to Windows to any .exe application you try to run. Therefore, with WINE .exe files will run on Ubuntu.
WINE is not installed by default. You can get it either by:
Details on installing WINE can be found in this question.
Okay, so I installed WINE. Now what?
Proceed to launching your .exe file! Double-click it, and with a bit of luck everything will seem like on Windows. Voilà!
WARNING: Not all applications will behave correctly when run with WINE. WINE is by no means perfect, and because it pretends to be a Windows environment instead of actually being a real one, some applications may malfunction. Common problems may include incorrectly displayed fields, fullscreen issues with video games, copy-protection problems. Some of them can be solved with litte hassle, make sure to check the WINE application database and use google to find hints in case your .exe does not work correctly.
Running Windows applications on Ubuntu with PlayOnLinux
There is another tool you may like which aids you in running Windows applications.
It's called PlayOnLinux (website) and it supports quite a wide range of software (browse).
What it does is it runs a specific version of Wine which is known to work best with the application you are willing to run. It also installs additional paths to provide maximum compatibility with Ubuntu. But you don't need to know about that; everything is done automatically.
Because of that, PlayOnLinux tends to provide the best results in case of running a widely known piece of software, including many video games.
Installing PlayOnLinux:
Using PlayOnLinux:
Instead of double-clicking the .exe (which launches it with WINE), run PlayOnLinux application. Select "Install" button on the toolbar, and choose what application you wish to install. PlayOnLinux will guide you through the installation process (of course you will need installation media).
Once it's done, your installed application will be displayed in PlayOnLinux main window. Double click to launch it!
Commercial solutions
If you are not satisfied with WINE, there are some commercial softwares that runs Windows applications on Linux. One of the most well-known is CrossOver. In some cases it has significantly better results, yet it is not available for free.
yes by using wine.
get it by going to the Ubuntu software center.
here is a link to the ppa https://launchpad.net/~ubuntu-wine/+archive/ppa
here is a video on how to install http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=hZgjgeDQVo4
here is a video on installing basic applications http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=RLRLWEfdFqY&feature=related
and here is wine wiki which will provide you with some more information. http://wiki.winehq.org/HowTo
if you wish to play a game from a CD you can install play on linux which is also available in the Ubuntu software center. hope this helps
You'll first need to install the Wine Compatibility Layer, it will allow you to run Windows appliactions on Ubuntu:
Next you need to tell Ubuntu that this is a program.
Now you can run the program
That's all, the program should now run fine. I've tested this using various pieces of Windows software, including the Windows version of Mono.
For applications that do not work in Wine, you can use Virtualbox by installing a Windows in the virtual machine. 3D acceleration is supported in Virtualbox.
See also these questions:
Wine is not a perfect answer, as you will probably many compatibility problems. You might consider first checking up on your application at WineHQ.org. Platinum is the best level, then Gold, Silver, Bronze, and finally Garbage.
If you want to run games, you can try special versions of Wine like PlayOnLinux (free) or CrossOver (payed). Otherwise, common applications should work well enough with a little configuration.
First of all an .EXE file is a Windows Executable file. In Linux and other *nix based systems we do not use .EXE as file extension for program executables. Rather we set the permission for the program to be executable by using chmod command.
Secondly your question is too broad. Which '.EXE file' by which I assume you are trying to run a Windows Application are you trying to run? There a program called WINE which has ability to run Windows Programs to a various levels of success.
However you are strongly suggested to use a native alternative app, because it will perform better and better integrate with the desktop.
You should be aware that Ubuntu is a totally different OS to Windows. The file structures are incompatible. So
Having said that, there are some
My strongest recommendation though - before installing
Finally, there are 1000's of apps that are designed for linux that do much the same things that windows apps do. Many are cross-platform, like VLC, Firefox to name a couple.
Well windows 'exe' file won't run on linux it's different breed of operating system. You could install wine an then try again. Works very well in most of the cases.
And give ubuntu a fair chance, you don't need Windows in most of the cases. You are just under impression that this is necessary part of computer experience.
Aside from a WINE implementation, if you've got a copy of windows laying around, you may also want to look into VirtualBox or some other virtualization technology.
Here is link on getting setup: http://www.ubuntugeek.com/create-and-manage-virtual-machines-using-virtualbox.html
A con in using a VM(virtual machine) is that they are generally reserved for upper end machines as they are an OS inside of your OS that takes up additional OS resources.
a pro would be that they are easier to backup and re-instate in-case of a catastrophic software failure.
Wikipedia has an article on both VirtualBox and Virtualization. I can only post one link until I get more cool points so I figured the tutorial would be a better link as it has a brief description
Then simply double click on exe
The Wine PPA indicated above is helpful, however I will note that you don't have to use beta packages if you're using the PPA. The
You should try wine:
Also, if you want to get updates from the Wine developers so that more and more Windows software is supported, go to System->Software Sources and go to the other Software tab. Click the Add button and copy+paste this into it: ppa:ubuntu-wine/ppa
Yes, as others have said, you can use wine to run Windows programs.
Once wine is installed, you can run a Windows executable by right clicking it and clicking 'open with wine Windows program loader' or using the terminal as explained above.
You should check here to see if/how the program can be run in wine. Lots of programs will not work perfectly or will need extra configuration to run. A program called winetricks (see http://wiki.winehq.org/winetricks) may make things a bit easier.
Always try to use native software or free alternatives if possible. You can search for applications in Ubuntu Software Centre - programs from here will work much better and will need little configuration. You can also look on this website: http://www.osalt.com/ for free software alternatives to proprietary products.
As others have said, Wine is usually the best option, but in some cases you can see better performance using Mono. However, for the program to run under Mono, the program must be a .NET application, and even that isn't a guarantee that the program will run without some hand holding.
To recap, Wine is a safe bet, but Mono is installed by default in Ubuntu and can handle many simple .EXE files that are .NET applications.
Maybe a proper error message should tell you that .exe files are specifically create to run in a Windows environment. There are plenty exciting ways to handle this situation but they all need a little time and effort to get informed and understand. If you anyways plan to use Windows which is perfectly fine because you are free to chose then it might be advisable to just wait for your Windows installation and then you can run your .exe files.
In case you decide differently and want to learn more about Ubuntu and how to run executable files you should know that there are
Good luck and decide carefully!
This will let you right click any .exe file to open with wine loader.

Who wrote Shalom Aleichem and Eishes Chayil? Is it minhag Yisrael?
Sign up

Shalom Aleichem was written in the 17th century by Mekubalim the source from wikpedia According to the Talmud, two angels accompany people on their way back home from synagogue on Friday night — a good angel and a evil angel. If the house has been prepared for the Shabbat ("the lamp has been lit, the table set, and his couch spread"), the good angel gives a blessing that the next Shabbat will be the same, and the evil angel is forced to respond "Amen". but if the home is not prepared for Shabbat, the evil angel wishes that the next Shabbat will be the same, and the good angel is forced to respond "Amen"
As Isaac pointed out, Eishes Chayil itself is a Biblical passage.
The practice of saying both of these on Friday night is found in Siddur Shaar Hashamayim (by the Shelah Hakadosh, R' Yeshayah Halevi Horowitz), first printed in 1717. I don't know whether there are earlier printed sources for this custom.
Eishet Chayil is the last 22 verses of Mishlei/Proverbs, which was written by Shlomo Hamelech (King Solomon).
It has become the minhag for many of Ashkenazic background, but to say a custom started in the past 500 years is a Minhag for all Yisrael you would need to prove that no Torah observant Jew doesn't have the minhag to say them.
What I mean is that I am unaware of anyone (who is observant and has a tradition) that specifically does not say them. If everyone, all Ashkenazim, Sfardim, Teimanim, Parsim, Kurdistanim, Roma'im, etc. each tradition, if all of their entire group has the minhag to say Sholom Aleichem and Eishes Chayil then it clearly is Minhag Yisrael.
But if you find one group that there are those within it who do not have the minhag then for them it cannot be considered minhag yisrael.
Rambam in his preface to his Commentary on the Mishna says that one who does not keep Minhag Yisrael, on him the verse is applied "One who breaks down a fence will be bit by a snake." There is much to consider regarding the implications of this statement. Does he mean a universally-Jewish minhag? Or does he mean any minhag that has valid roots in our tradition and that one's forebears have kept? Or does he mean the valid minhag of the community one belongs to?
There is much written on this subject and I will need to do some review and some more reseach to present it properly.

New Leadership Announced for VTS Francis Scott Key Society
Media Contact: Curtis Prather
Tel: 703-461-1782
Alexandria, Va. – Virginal Theological Seminary announces today the appointment of Mrs. Mary Lewis Hix, former vice president for Administration and Finance at Virginia Seminary (1988-2007) and the Rev. Canon James M. L. Grace (VTS '05), Canon for Christian Formation at Christ Church Cathedral in Houston, Texas. as co-chairs for the
Francis Scott Key Society
"The Seminary is very fortunate for their willingness to serve. Their inspired leadership will help grow the Society and, by extension, will help grow our endowment,"
said the Very Rev. Ian S. Markham, Ph.D
., dean and president of VTS. "As long-time members of the VTS community, they know the support a strong endowment means as we prepare leaders for the future of our Church."
The Francis Scott Key Society helps ensure that each person's legacy lives on at Virginia Seminary through bequests in their wills.
Said Hix, "It is a privilege and challenge to contemplate what our legacy will be. Creating legacy is but one way of expressing love, gratitude, respect and thanksgiving. Legacy gifts to Virginia Theological Seminary through the Francis Scott Key Society give voice to these motivations while providing tangible hope for the future of this seminary as it fulfills the mission of preparing men and women to serve our abundant God."
They will accept the mantle of leadership from the Rt. Rev. A. Theodore (Ted) Eastman, who was joined in his co-chair responsibilities by Mrs. Marnie Trotter, who died in May 2013. During their nine year tenure, 400 members joined and more than $7,000,000 came to VTS through bequests.
"I am humbled to serve as co-chair of the Francis Scott Key Society along with Mary Lewis Hix," said the Rev. Grace. "The act of designating the seminary as beneficiary in your estate planning is an act of faith! It is a sacramental act expressing hope not just for the preservation of a beloved seminary, but much more importantly, a future filled with hope for the Episcopal Church."
Today, there are 283 members of the Society. In the past year, more than $1,000,000 has come to Virginia Theological Seminary through Society gifts.
Best known for writing "The Star Spangled Banner," Francis Scott Key was also one of the founders of VTS. In order to ensure the Seminary's lasting good health, Francis Scott Key set aside one-tenth of all he earned throughout his life for charities, including the Seminary. Upon his death in 1843, the money was disbursed according to his wishes.
On Sunday, September 14, 2014, the 200th anniversary of the day Francis Scott Key penned the poem that became our National Anthem, the Seminary and members of the Francis Scott Key Society will celebrate past and present members at a special FSK event.
Founded in 1823, Virginia Theological Seminary is the largest of the 11 accredited seminaries of the Episcopal Church. The school prepares men and women, representing more than 40 different dioceses and nine different countries, for service in the Church, both as ordained and lay ministers, and offers a number of professional degree programs and diplomas.

The Swedish island of Gotland is sometimes here in Sweden called "The Island of a Hundred Churches". These churches were all built during the 12th to 15th centuries and 92 of them are still in use. Some are in ruins. Really a very rich cultural heritage. Since I visit the island of Gotland every year for a couple of weeks I thought that capturing these churches could interest many and possibly increase popularity of panoramics for a wider audience.
There is an exterior panorama from all churces. For some of the churches there is also a panorama from inside. If there is there is a link at the top of the full screen window with a link to toggle between inside and outside view.
I hope you like them.

Hi, I think I signed up for this forum a year ago when I purchased my NN3 but haven't visited since. I have been busy putting together a lot of VR pano in the last year and I thought I would share some. The latest ones I just finished up this week came out nice but it was the most work so far. There are six panos of the Point Cabrillo Light Station on the Calif. Mendocino Coast. Pano #3 was the hardest to put together as the lens 14 inches away and was rotating so I had to time my shooting to get the lens in the same position for 3 of the photos. Unfortunately I missed the timing on the top shot, so I ended up manually photoshoping in the entire ceiling.
Pano # 4 was the highest pole-cam VR. pano I have done to date and 20ft. With the strong ocean breeze, that's about the highest I could hold it steady. The are a bunch of other ones on my site that came out nice if you want to take a look with the "Lava Tube Caves", "Sierra Buttes", and "Mono Lake at night" being my favorite.

Thanks for looking , Frank....

Retro Stripe Painting - Painting HomageWritten by on June 15, 2009 Creating A Modern Take On A Vintage Paint Scheme For A Hemi-Powered '65 Coronet
When you think about drag racing in the '60s, the Ramchargers team often comes up. The paint scheme and the performance were both unmistakable, as the Super Stock cars were aptly equipped with go-fast parts and quick-shifting drivers. And while the traditional Ramchargers candy-stripe paint scheme will live on for years to come, Vaughn Armstrong wanted something different for his '65 Dodge Coronet. With a 535ci Ray Barton cross-ram Hemi and a four-speed manual, it's not a wimp, so when it came time for paint, his plan called for a contemporary version of the Ramchargers paint scheme. This modernization consists of a silver basecoat and a healthy dose of true candy red on the numerous stripes.
Armstrong took his Mopar to Troy Byrd at Specialty Collision Center in Dayton, Tennessee, who also runs a restoration shop on the side. The car rolled into the shop coated in black primer, but it wasn't quite ready for the shiny stuff, so the crew spent a few weeks straightening all the panels and preparing it for a coat of silver. Had this been a conventional Ramchargers scheme with solid white and red colors, the taping process could have begun after the basecoat was applied. But with metallic colors, it's a good idea to lay down some clear first. This allows for easy cleanup if any of the candy-red paint bleeds through the tape; when you see how much taping is involved, you'll understand.
After a few coats of clear, the car was ready to sand once again using 600-grit on a block to make sure every square inch of the Coronet was straight. The entire car was sanded, even the parts that would not receive a fresh basecoat when the stripes were masked off. Then it was a matter of measuring out the stripes, which is a very time-consuming process. It took a while to determine the exact measurements, as these stripes need to be uniform and true to the original paint scheme. Although Byrd and the crew altered the Ramchargers design slightly, the Dodge definitely has the desired look.
From start to finish, the taping and painting process took three full days of work for three men, but that also included sanding and buffing, which makes a huge difference no matter what you're working on. Armstrong actually considered lettering the car to match the vintage race cars but decided against cluttering the sides of it when he saw the finished product. Now that he is driving the Coronet, he can't help but draw attention, even from the uninformed. Maybe it's the 800-horse Hemi, or maybe it's the new paint job--either way, it's just plain cool.
With the car complete, Armstrong loves the contemporary Ramchargers design, and he's glad he went with the bold paint scheme. It definitely attracts attention and pays homage to the legendary Super Stock racers of the '60s.
More Photos From This Article View Slideshow
When Armstrong's car rolled into Specialty Collision Center, it wore a coat of flat black. The crew went right to work, stripping it down and straightening the panels in preparation for paint. Before the car was moved into the spray booth, it was washed and then wiped down with wax and grease remover. Then it was given two coats of sealer to ensure a uniform base for the Akzo Nobel silver paint.After a few coats of silver, followed by clearcoat, the Dodge exited the booth. Before another round of blocking, the crew inspected the fresh paint job carefully. If there was a problem, now would have been the time to fix it.With 600-grit sandpaper on a rubber block, the crew sanded the entire car, making sure to use lots of soapy water to help the paper glide across the fresh materials. If done correctly, this process can actually remove small ripples in the body. Wet-sanding is never a clean job, so the entire car needs to be wiped with wax and grease remover before the taping begins.While the body was being sanded, the hood and decklid received a few coats of silver and clearcoat. The decklid will feature stripes, while the fiberglass hood will have a large Chrysler Pentastar on the scoop.If you're lining out flames or other intricate designs, you'll need a fine-line tape that is either 1/8 inch or 1/16 inch wide, but 3M 1/4-inch plastic tape works great for this application. The thicker tape makes it easier to pull nice, straight lines.Troy Byrd started at the passenger-side quarter-panel, doing the easiest part first. The lowest point of the candy-apple red will be the peak of the body line, and that's the first line he pulled.Working forward to the front fender, Byrd pulled the line and pressed down on the tape when it passed his inspection. It's always good to have a helper in these situations and to position the car in an area where you can step back and make sure the line is straight.The main stripe that runs down the side was masked off at the rolling edge and continued down the side of the car. These cars may look boxy, but you'll find many hidden contours in the body lines during the taping process.
Now for the tricky part: calculating, measuring, and marking for the stripes. After getting the measurements right for the C-pillar, the guys made this measuring stick from a paint paddle to keep from scratching the paint with a measuring tape.With the stripes lined out, Specialty's Danny Parton filled in the gaps with masking paper. While a few strips of wide 3M tape would do the same job, the paper will keep the paint from soaking in or bleeding through.Moving to the other side, Byrd repeated his steps and lined out the main stripe down the side of the car. The lines needed to be perfectly straight and match the opposite side, so it was a tedious process.The C-pillar stripes are 2 7/8 inches wide. The red areas had to be measured to the inside edges of the tape. The underlying silver stripes needed to be measured on the outside edges so all the stripes would be the same width.The guys didn't install the decklid just yet to allow Byrd to stand in the trunk floor and lay out the roof stripe. The roof and decklid stripes will be 3 3/4 inches wide, and they'll be measured with this marked stick.After determining the centerline, Byrd used the new measuring stick to mark all the stripes with short pieces of tape, which allowed him to pull the lines from front to back with a little assistance from Parton.Moving across the top, Byrd paid close attention to the measurements, constantly checking his work. At this point, the two-man taping crew had invested about five hours into the taping process alone.With the roof lined out, the guys installed the decklid and back-taped all the edges with blue painter's tape--like you'd use in a house. This tape isn't as sticky, which is important when working with fresh materials.
This can get confusing because of all the lines, so it was important to remember which areas would be silver or red. The red areas measured 3 3/4 inches from the inside edge of the tape, while the silver areas were measured from the outside edge.With all the stripes outlined, Parton filled them in with masking paper cut to the appropriate size. The windshield and back glass were then masked, and the car was finally ready for paint after nearly a full day of taping.Totally taped, here's the Coronet ready to roll into Specialty Collision Center's spray booth. Once in position, Parton cleaned all the exposed areas with wax and grease remover, since the body had been handled so much.Now was the time for the candy, which is made by Lesonal, a division of Akzo Nobel. While some multistage paints aren't transparent, this candy red is the real deal, so a uniform pattern is a must.Laying on the candy isn't like painting regular basecoat. You must start at the front and run the car, walking all the way to the rear without stopping at each panel. With each coat, the candy will get deeper and darker, so spray it on there until you like the color.For this car, it took five medium coats of candy to get the desired look, and then it was time to undo all that masking. After a thorough inspection and a little bit of cleanup, the car was treated to several coats of clear.As it sits, the car looks great, but it will have a much slicker finish after it's sanded and buffed. This process will remove any trash, runs, or other imperfections in the fresh finish and provide a deep gloss.Urethane clear doesn't take very long to cure, so the following day was spent color-sanding the new materials. First, 1,200-grit was used to flatten out the clear, followed by 2,000-grit to make buffing easy.

The 5 Creepiest Unexplained Broadcasts
As we speak, broadcast signals are moving invisibly through the air all around you, from millions of sources. And some of them are really, really freaking weird.
We know this because occasionally somebody with a shortwave radio, or a special antenna or even a common household television, will capture one of these mystery signals and suddenly start broadcasting utter insanity.
Where do these signals come from? Who the hell knows?
What is it?
It is an irritating, electronic noise, not unlike the sound of a truck horn played through a cheese grater. It is broadcast over a certain frequency, constantly, and has been since at least 1982. But the weird part isn't the tone, but what happens when it stops.
In its 20-something year run, the sound has been interrupted only three times, the earliest known time being Christmas Eve in 1997. Each time a voice comes on and lists several Russian names and numbers before returning to the foghorn. The most recent occurrence was 2006, a mere three years before the time of this writing. It is clearly becoming more active after remaining quiet during the Cold War.
The case gets curiouser when you realize that the noise is apparently something held up to a live microphone rather than a recording or just some random feedback (distant conversations can be sometimes heard behind the sound, though they're difficult to decipher).
It sounds like "robble-robble."
That is, someone is actively broadcasting and maintaining the signal.
So What's the Deal?
Information on the mysterious station had been compiled here on Geocities, the best place for code cracking and speculation on the Web. From this, we know it originates from Russia, specifically here:
Military base? Home of Russia's shittiest FM radio station?
That listener, who helpfully kept his crucial analysis at the mercy of Geocities and Yahoo!, claimed the operator is the "1st Communications Hub of the General Staff of Army," and its purpose was to "transmit orders to the military units and recruitment centers of the Moscow military district."
Wikipedia argues that this makes no sense, since it's mostly just that simple buzztone. But honestly, who are you going to trust: A Web admin who didn't have the foresight to pay for a domain name, or the Illuminati-run Wikimedia foundation?
Our theory? It's not a buzztone at all. It's a message sent in the native language of a certain group of embedded Russian agents. Their native language being robot.
#4. Preschool Show Hijacked by Porn
What is it?
Handy Manny is an animated show on Disney's Playhouse programming block. In a heavily cliched attempt at multicultural acceptance, Manny Garcia is a Hispanic handyman with talking, googly-eyed tools. It's a Dora the Explorer rip-off, sure, but that's OK because kids are stupid.
This jerk can't even walk.
One day in 2007, in one cozy New Jersey town, Handy Manny suddenly looked rather real, and Handy Manny got a bit too handy with a lady. In fact, it wasn't Handy Manny at all. Kids plopped in front of the TV were suddenly treated to a human anatomy lesson, probably causing mild confusion as to why Manny was wrestling with that woman, as well as arguments over who was winning.
Tee-hee,"tooling around."
Yes, Handy Manny had been interrupted by hardcore pornography for the Comcast viewers in Lincroft, New Jersey. Comcast vowed to get to the bottom of it and make sure it never happened again.
And it didn't. Well, until it happened again in 2009. And again, it was Comcast. This time it happened in Tuscon, Arizona during the goddamn Super Bowl. Viewers were treated to something startlingly more heterosexual than football (yes, we said it) as the picture cut to a woman unzipping a man's pants for the two-point conversion.
Needless to say, it was good.
So What's the Deal?
This wasn't a simple matter of wires getting crossed at the Comcast switchboard. They swore after the second incident that the signal was boobie-free when they sent it out. Also, that clip was from a pay-per-view sextravaganza on the Spice Network (ClubJenna) which those who know say could not have been inserted by accident.
So if it was a prank (and the perpetrator would just need the right equipment to splice into the signal) was it the same person who was behind the New Jersey incident in 2007? They were never caught, so maybe it's some kind of traveling crusader, traversing the country spreading the good news about porn.
Like an NSFW Robin Hood.
That would actually make the guy a lot less crazy than...
#3. The Max Headroom Broadcast Intrusion
What is it?
Want to sleep tonight? Then you probably shouldn't watch this:
This was a television broadcast interruption, breaking into WGN-TV and WTTW on November 22, 1987. The only way to sum this up in a single sentence is to say that a man was dressed as Max Headroom and crazy in ways most crazy people can only longingly aspire to.
The face of unbridled envy.
For those not familiar with him because you don't remember the 80s, Max Headroom was a CGI character with a distorted, electronic, stuttering voice. The background was constantly moving in a dizzying descent into pure madness. He did Coca-Cola ads and even had his own TV show back in the day. As bizarre as that sounds--it was the 80s, you had to be there--the intruder somehow made this infinitely creepier.
That is, creepier than this dead-eyed abomination.
The two stations, WGN-TV and WTTW, were interrupted within two hours. The first, the intruder interrupted the WGN nine o'clock news to announce to the world he had a screw loose. Unfortunately for him, there was only a buzzing noise accompanying the video. Then on the PBS station WTTW, Doctor Who was interrupted by the same video, though this time with audio. And it went for a horrifying minute and a half.
Though, because it was PBS, few people noticed.
The YouTube clip up there has subtitles, but they aren't very helpful. Here's a play by play, though it's about as useful as someone turning to you and explaining that the strange man on the subway is farting in Morse code without mentioning the important detail of why he does it.
So What's the Deal?
You might wonder how in the hell some nutjob could have the technical capability to get himself in front of millions of viewers by hacking the TV signal of one of the largest local TV stations in the country (that being WGN) but the shocking thing is it's incredibly easy. Apparently you just need a fairly simple piece of equipment that you can park near the broadcast transmitter. Even if the station encrypts their signal, you can still jam it so that nothing gets through.
So, unsurprisingly, Max Headroom impersonator was probably driving one of these.
Though how this nutjob managed even that has to leave you scratching your head, considering that he used his precious seconds with an audience to utter such thought-provoking lines as "I stole CBS!" and "I made a giant masterpiece for all the greatest world newspaper nerds." He finishes by bending over and allowing a girl to spank his naked ass with a fly swatter, screeching that someone was coming to get him.
Oh and once again, the culprits were never caught. Sleep easy!

Customer Raves & Reviews
Beautiful design
Everyone has told me how much they love these birth announcements!
Fabulous magnets to help welcome our twincesses!
I adore our magnets as did all of their recipients! We had issues with our shipment (twice) and the customer service department was wonderful at rectifying the issues, and compensating us. The ability to customize the colours and really make the magnet our own was fabulous and when we had issues with the design software the online interactive help representative was incredibly helpful! Fabulous experience! We had magnets for our two boys and now an extra special one for our twincesses and MagnetStreet delivered fabulous products everytime

We have redesigned the web site to allow easier access to important information of interest to members of the IAAP and the general public. On the public pages we are providing general information on analytical psychology and the work of C. G. Jung, as well as links to other sources of information. Conferences and other activities of interest to an international audience will be listed with information on participation when available. Upcoming conferences will usually appear on the Slideshow on the Home page, but conferences scheduled for later dates may first appear in the Conferences drop-down menu. You may therefore want to visit the Conferences drop-down from time to time to see what has been scheduled for the future. Regrettably, the web site will not be able to list local activities of groups and societies due to the time commitments needed to manage the site. If you are interested in what a particular group or society may be planning you can link to the group through the listing of groups in the "About the IAAP" drop-down.
For members of the IAAP, the Members Site area now contains copies of the Association's constitution in all five official languages. You will also find the minutes of Delegates meetings beginning with the meetings that established the IAAP in 1955. Other documents, ranging from the Ethics Code to instructions for applying for grants or seed money from the Academic Subcommittee of the Executive Committee will be found in this area. Additional information on the activities of the Association will be posted as we continue to develop the site. A top priority is the instillation of a new member database that will allow easier access to the list of members.
While we have decided to "go live" with the new design of the site at this time, many elements are still under development. In the end, we felt it was important to get the site up and running rather than wait until every element was complete. You will, therefore, see new material on the site on a regular basis, as we develop and refine the materials needed to keep members and the larger community interested in analytical psychology informed in a timely manner about events and other news that we hope will be useful to everyone.
Best regards,
The Publications and Communications Sub-Committee

This question appears to be off-topic. The users who voted to close gave this specific reason:
That might be a rendering of 忠 zhong1, meaning 'faithful, loyal, honest'. This character consists of two parts, the radical 心 'heart' and a phonetic element 中. It seems that the writer has allowed the radical to snake up over the top in an unorthodox way. That's my guess anyway.
This means faithful of course. However the meaning one wants to express by writing this on his body (I bet you see this in tattoos) means "I'm a tough guy and I'm in a gang".
That's because loyalty has been regarded to be the most important virtue of gangsters. So a troop wrote this symbol on the body is a good one.
It most resembles zhōng (see image below) however, a better rendering or a picture of the typed character is needed to be sure.
It means loyalty. And we often relate 忠 to 关二爷(Guan Yu), so you can see 忠 in many tattoos.
One of the famous tattoos is perhaps Allen Iverson's.

I am new to TeX/LaTeX. How do I install TeX on Windows (7)? It seems that there are many different implementations, so which one is best for my OS?
You can choose between TeX Live and MiKTeX. In practice it does not make a difference which distribution you use. Especially if you are new to LaTeX. However you should take care that you install the full version, with all packages, and not a minimal or base version.
You get MiKTeX from here (choose the 'MiKTeX 2.9 Net Installer') and TeX Live here.
Both install a basic editor (TeXworks). I have the experience from my workshops with students, that they have problems with that editor. I introduced TeXstudio which worked quite well in the lectures.
Some hints beside the selection of distribution:
Don't install it in the
You may get problems with the authorization concept of win7.
And important: No spaces in installation path! Some tools will get problems.

I have question regarding convolution of functions (say g and h) defined on Sn. In Fourier space this is equivalent to IFT(G.H), where G = FT(g) and H = FT(h).
Fast Fourier transforms (Clausen's FFT) proceeds by recursively breaking down Fourier transformation over Sn into smaller transforms over S_(n-1), S_(n-2)... and computing each S_(k)-transform from the k independent S_(k-1) transforms.
Now the question I have is - How does the convolution of two functions (g & h, each defined on Sn) translate to S_(n-1)? In other words, is their any defining expression involving G' and H' to provide the n-1 independent S_(n-1) transforms to get final the convolution.
G': descendant Fourier transform of G on S_(n-1) H': descendant Fourier transform of H on S_(n-1) FT: Fourier transform IFT: Inverse Fourier transform
I would appreciate if anyone can direct me to some papers/books which talk about these concepts.

For a quick clean, slip on our Mini Microfiber Fuzzy Finger Mitt. It fits over two fingers. It's ideal for cleaning screens on PDAs, computer monitors, laptop screens, mobile phones and mini DVD players.
Enter your zip code for product availability and pickup options at your nearest store or select a store by state.
Microfiber cleaning cloths are exceptionally efficient. The millions of tiny fibers in each strand attract, absorb and remove all kinds of dirt, dust and bacteria. Plus, microfiber naturally inhibits the spread of bacteria. Whereas traditional cotton cloths push around dirt and germs, microfiber traps it until washed.
It's also an environmentally friendly solution since it's reusable (rather than disposable) - and because it allows you to tackle many cleaning tasks without the need for harsh chemicals.
Microfiber allows you to clean larger surface areas before it has to be laundered. Once washed, it's renewed and ready to go again. To prolong it's effectiveness, do not use bleach or fabric softeners when laundering microfiber. Whenever possible, launder microfiber items by themselves, and never with towels or other items with a lot of lint. And never use high heat settings on microfiber.

toJSONString giving error
Hi all,
I am new to this JSON stuff and this is what i am trying, but not succeeding in doing it,
var arr = { "one": [{ "firstname": "raj","lastname": "shyam"}], "two": [{"empno": "123","empname": "g.karthik"}, {"empDeptId": "124","empBranchName": "mec"}]}
alert(arr .toJSONString());
But this toJSONString() is throwing me an error, saying that toJSONString is not a function.
Do we need to put any extra js files to serialize the JSON data.
Any suggestions.

After finishing the waterfall area, you cross a bridge with a fence on either side, and enter a large open room with a ladder to the top. At the top of the ladder there is a pipe that goes most of the way around the room, but it stops short of the window that I assume I'm supposed to go through. I can't for the life of me figure out how to get to that window! I think I must be missing something dumb?
From the Walkthrough:
Go through to a small bridge. Cross it to a large shed with no way out save the way you entered.
Find the ladder going up. Climb it, leaving Yorda where she is. Shimmy across the pipeline to the outer window, then climb to the ground using the ladder. Push the block into the water, letting it flow down with the waterfall, then jump across the stone aqueduct and go to the ladder at left.
Climb it to a switch; push it until the water stops flowing, dammed by a wooden block.

$$\sqrt{x+a} - \sqrt{x-a} = 2\sqrt{a}$$
Squaring both sides of the equation doesn't get rid of the root.
How do I isolate $x$ from $a$?
Squaring both sides of the equation doesn't get rid of the root.
How do I isolate $x$ from $a$?
We describe another method for isolating $x$. The case $a=0$ is uninteresting. Suppose that $a\ne 0$.
Multiply both sides by $\sqrt{x+a}+\sqrt{x-a}$. On the left, nice stuff happens, we get $2a$. On the right we get $2\sqrt{a}\left(\sqrt{x+a}+\sqrt{x-a}\right)$. Do a little cancellation. We get $$\sqrt{x+a}+\sqrt{x-a}=\sqrt{a}.$$
Adding, we find that $$2\sqrt{x+a}=3\sqrt{a},$$ and now everything is easy.
Remark: We should not necessarily be in a hurry to square, since squaring can create a mess. We were given an equation that had a nice structure. Nice structure should be preserved, and exploited. And remember that whenever $\sqrt{X}-\sqrt{Y}$ ends up in a problem, its partner $\sqrt{X}+\sqrt{Y}$ is ready to help.
As said, square both sides: $$2x-2\sqrt{x+a}\sqrt{x-a}=4a\Longrightarrow x-2a=\sqrt{x+a}\sqrt{x-a}\Longrightarrow$$$$\Longrightarrow x^2-4ax+4a^2=x^2-a^2\Longrightarrow 4ax=5a^2$$and now you can solve according to the different possibilities for $\,a$
Square twice. The first time you obtain $2 x - 2 \sqrt{x^2-a^2} = 4 a$ so $\sqrt{x^2-a^2} = x - 2a$. The second time...

Is bringing printed code or code on a USB to an interview a good idea? If so, what kind of code should I bring. Should I avoid big projects and just show small snippets which show off my skills?

closed as off-topic by gnat, GlenH7, durron597, MichaelT, Snowman Jun 7 '15 at 16:09
This question appears to be off-topic. The users who voted to close gave this specific reason:
Rather not. I would only do this when explicitely requested, and of course you can't bring code that's in any way confidential, which usually applies to everything you wrote in your previous job, so you are basically restricted to code you created in your spare time. (Most interviewers would immediately have you escorted to the door if you come with confidental code from your current employer...)
Anyway, as the interviewer, I'd rather want to see you write code during the interview, so I can be sure you are the one who has the skills. It's just too easy to have good friends help you write a most impressing piece of code, and memorize the explanations.
I think it's a great idea! It's a pity code reviews are not done more frequently as it is one of the few ways of recognize good programmers (except actually having them code something). Looking at someone's code you pretty quickly get a sense of how good a programmer is just because how much "cleaner" their code is.
If I was interviewing I would be looking at two things that probably would be good to cover in the code you bring
a) The quality of some implementation/method/algorithm. Show some code that you found especially elegant
b) The overall architecture of a larger program. How has the programmer handled dependencies, can he explain the design decisions he's made
The goal is not to go through all code so it really doesn't matter how long the code you bring actually is, but what you chose to highlight about it.
A variation on this is to provide the interviewer with the URL for the repository for some open-source project that you've made a major contribution to.
Unless you are scheduled to give a reasonable length presentation in your interview, the kind of code you have the time to show and they have the time to appreciate; cannot be representative of your skill, regardless of where you are in your career.
If they want to see evidence that you are a mature software developer, then that won't be found in the size of program that you can effectively walk through in the AOB section of an interview.
If they want you to demonstrate that you can program at all, they'll have a proper test, or get you to do something small like a linked list on-the-spot. If you bring along a linked list implementation on a USB key, they have no idea how much of it you copied from a book; whether it took you 10 minutes or two weeks; or whether you had to ask stackoverflow what a pointer is.
Moreover, what would you show? Clean, well-written code that is easily understandable is boring. Your interviewers won't sit there marvelling at how clearly they can grasp the intent of your snippet, they will be wondering why you consider it to be the jewel in your crown. On the other hand, Imagine you invented something clever like Duff's Device, and wanted to show that off. The interviewers would likely consider you an enemy of readability.
The code you show should generally be small enough to be talked about within 5 minutes, and the code should take up no more than 2 printed pages. Even if it's just a method that you wrote to parse phone numbers from a phone book, it's useful.
If you want carry the design. Don't carry the code. More than seeing the cleanness, the interviewer will start pointing out the errors. There certainly would be (many) errors (which you haven't thought of) if the project is some high school project. And if it is some company code, it is illegal to carry the copyrighted code and show to other people.
For that reason alone you should show off
If you have a piece of code that is particularly interesting, then by all means bring it (assuming, of course, that it's not protected intellectual property). But don't force it on the interviewer. If s/he is interested in looking at your code, s/he'll ask if you have anything to show.
Be prepared to explain why it's interesting, and better, what you'd do differently in the future.
If you have done any open-source development (either business or personal), I think this would be a great idea. I sent code snippets along with the application materials for the job I currently have, so I'd venture a guess that it worked out OK for me. Make sure to respect confidentiality/copyright and give attribution to others who were involved (if it was a collaborative project).

I am building a directory of members which as well as listing members either in order of name and distance from a town or city, will display on a map using the Google Maps API v3.
I've got it working almost how I want it, but I am concerned that it's a bit slow. I'm already loading it asynchronously, but there is an issue with the markers.
I want the map to load and then the markers to appear in a drop animation one by one in quick succession. At the moment there is a delay and they all drop together and sometimes they appear on the map and then drop which looks very odd.
I'm using a PHP foreach script (from a MYSQL database) to output the javascript array for the members- there can be anywhere between 10 and 400 markers on the map, but usually no more than 100 at one time.
For brevity I've only included 4 markers in the example below (which as I said before is outputted from a PHP foreach script):
var infowindow = null;
$(document).ready(function () { initialize(); });
function initialize() {
var centerMap = new google.maps.LatLng(53.1,-2.2);
var myOptions = {
zoom: 9,
center: centerMap,
mapTypeId: google.maps.MapTypeId.ROADMAP,
scrollwheel: false
var map = new google.maps.Map(document.getElementById("map_canvas"), myOptions);
setMarkers(map, sites);
infowindow = new google.maps.InfoWindow({
content: "loading..."
var sites = [
['Joe Bloggs',52.1022,-2.1070,1,"Member Joe Bloggs"],
['Peter Pan',52.2022,-2.2070,1,"Member Peter Pan"],
['Andrew Andrewson',52.0322,-2.0170,1,"Member Andrew Andrewson"],
['Peter Peterson',52.0022,-2.0070,1,"Member Peter Peterson"],
function setMarkers(map, markers) {
for (var i = 0; i < markers.length; i++) {
var sites = markers[i];
var siteLatLng = new google.maps.LatLng(sites[1], sites[2]);
var marker = new google.maps.Marker({
position: siteLatLng,
map: map,
title: sites[0],
zIndex: sites[3],
html: sites[4],
animation: google.maps.Animation.DROP
var contentString = "Some content";
google.maps.event.addListener(marker, "click", function () {
infowindow.open(map, this);
function loadScript() {
var script = document.createElement('script');
script.type = 'text/javascript';
script.src = 'https://maps.googleapis.com/maps/api/js?key=my-key-is-here&sensor=false&' +'callback=initialize';
window.onload = loadScript;
How can I speed this up and get the markers to appear in a drop animation after the page loads?

When teachers play hooky
In 1995, as many as 70 Waterbury teachers misused sick days to restore, by illicit means, the February vacation that was removed from the district's 1994-95 calendar. This episode came to be known as the "tanned-teachers" scandal, as dozens of teachers who claimed to be sick were truly tanned, rested and ready upon their return.
Ancient history, you say? Not exactly. Vacations are fleeting, but loophole-riddled union contracts are forever. Torrington officials are now investigating a similar outbreak of sick-leave abuse.

" If the teachers are unhappy with their contracts, they should take it up with their union. Isn't that what they get paid for? Otherwise, in a case such as this with obvious disregard for the contract, I agree that it is a violation and they should have action taken against them. Going to be difficult to prove, though. If they do nothing, the message is that teachers can basically make their own rules. Only the school system has to follow the contract? I think not. "
