Cylinder Honing - Honed For SpeedWritten by on December 25, 2012
At Circle Track we're all about tech, all the time. And at least a few times a year we'll show you how to assemble your own engine from air filter to oil pan. But one area of tech we rarely touch on in depth is machine work of the engine block and cylinder heads. That's because high-quality machine work requires very expensive equipment and specialized training. So honestly, even if they are going to handle engine assembly, most racers are better off handing the machining duties to their local engine builder.
But that doesn't mean it isn't necessary to understand what's going on. Quality machine work that's done with the care and precision required to hold tight to the tolerances required isn't always a given--after all, you can wind up hiring the services of a machinist that's poorly qualified and cuts corners just as easily as you can a plumber, house painter, or barber. The key to being confident that you are getting what you pay for is understanding what's involved, and what separates good work from bad.
The first step is to talk to other racers. Does the engine builder or machinist have a good reputation at your racetrack? Teams that can consistently gather top finishes don't get that way by accident. It's a good bet that any company they are willing to associate with does quality work.
But there are often times when you can't simply rely on a recommendation. Then you need to understand what you need, and be able to determine if you are getting what you paid for. There are a handful of critical machining processes that should be a part of every engine build. This time around, we are concentrating specifically on honing the cylinder bores.
Although they are often spoken of together, honing is not the same thing as boring the cylinders. Boring uses a carbide steel cutting tool to cut away metal from the cylinder bore. Honing, on the other hand, uses stones of varying coarseness to abrade away smaller amounts of the cylinder bore to improve concentricity (roundness, in plain English) and prep the surface of the metal.
Let's take, for example, a new engine build. You will probably want to go ahead and bore the cylinder 0.030-inch oversize--to a final bore diameter of 4.030 inches--to take advantage of typical rules that allow a maximum engine displacement of 358 inches for both small block Fords and Chevrolets. That extra 0.030 of width doesn't do much in terms of cubic inches, but it can really help improve compression ratio when stuck with flat-top pistons.
To get there, most machinists will bore the cylinders to 4.025 inches, leaving 0.005 of material to be honed away to get to the final 4.030 target. Honing is done in steps, beginning with a more coarse set of stones. Honing with the coarse stones will bring the bore size all the way to 4.027- to 4.0275-inches. The final 0.0025 is done in one or two more steps--with finer stones--that not only leaves a perfectly round cylinder bore, but also creates the surface finish on the cylinder walls.
When it comes to machining the cylinder bores, the surface finish of the walls is just as important of the roundness. Good honing work will create a "crosshatch" pattern that's consistent along the length of the bore. The crosshatch is a fine texture of ridges and valleys in the metal that catches and helps hold a fine film of motor oil in the cylinder bores. This cuts down on the friction between the piston rings and the cylinder walls as the pistons move up and down the bores, and also keeps the rings from welding themselves to the block.
The end result of high-level honing work is an engine that seals up well so that an absolute minimum of combustion gasses leaks past the rings. That means more power making it to the crankshaft, and fewer contaminants in the oil for improved protection of the bearings, cam lobes, and other friction prone surfaces. Great honing work also helps the rings seal well so that you aren't burning oil, either. So here are a few tips to make sure you are getting the best honing work possible.
Properly honing your cylinders is one of the first steps to building a solid race engine. Here's how to make sure your machinist is doing it right.

Ken Troutman, owner of race engine shop KT Engine Development, has built numerous race-winning engines at all levels and says that the value of properly machining your block and heads—and especially honing the cylinder bores—before an engine build can't be overstated. No matter how much you spend on pistons, rods, and other components, it's impossible to overcome mistakes or sloppy work at this stage.1 A honing machine is a pretty advanced piece of equipment. But even more important is the proper skills and experience to use a piece of equipment like this properly. We can't teach you how to hone your own blocks in this space, but we can pass along some pretty important tips Troutman gave us to make sure the machinist you hire to perform the honing work on your next engine build does a good job.2 This is a block that KT Engines has in the shop for a rebuild. But before going into the honing machine, Nathan Allmond makes sure all the main caps are torqued to spec. In order to make sure the cylinder bores are as round as possible after the engine is assembled, you must replicate all the stresses possible the block will see.3 Allmond locks the block in place in the honing machine using fixtures that ensure the cylinder bores are perpendicular to the line of the crankshaft. Then he spends a few moments prepping the deck surface for the torque plate.4 Even more important than making sure the main caps are torqued like they will be on final assembly is simulating the warping forces placed on the top of the block by the cylinder heads. It's impossible to hone the block with the heads in place, so a torque plate like this is used instead. Between the plate and the block is also a gasket of the same thickness that will be used in the final build. While it isn't absolutely necessary to use the exact same type of head gasket that you will on your final build, make sure it is at least the same size. For example, if your final bore size is 0.030 over, make sure your machinist doesn't use a 0.060 over gasket simply because it's big enough. The fire ring is a different size, and that's what transfers the pressure from the torque plate to the block. It's not much, but it's enough to affect the final bore shape.5 Allmond torques the plate in place in the same manner you would a cylinder head. Make sure to use a lubricant on the threads of the bolts to make sure your torque readings are as accurate as possible.6 The honing work must be accurate down to 0.0005-inch. To maintain maximum accuracy, Troutman recalibrates his dial bore-gauge before every job.7 This block is part of a standard rebuild, so there's no damage to the cylinder bores beyond normal wear. But notice the change in color around 2/3 of the way down the cylinder bores. This is the farthest the rings travel down the cylinder bore at piston BDC. Typically, you will see greater wear at the top of the cylinder bore because the strong pressure from the combustion charge pushes the rings out the hardest.
9 The more coarse the honing stone, the more material it will remove. The stone on the bottom is a #523 coarse stone that's used for the rough cuts. The stone on top is an 818, which is a smooth stone used for finishing work. There is no one single way to get the best surface finish. For example, many engine builders always finish with an 818 stone, but with new plasma-moly rings, which are popular in racing right now, Troutman prefers to finish with a 623 stone. The stone is rougher, but by making his final passes with lighter pressure between the stone and the cylinder wall, the result is a crosshatch that works well with the rings.10 The honing machine works by spinning the stones inside the cylinder bore while moving the arm up and down the length of the bore. This is what produces the crosshatch pattern. It's also important to use plenty of coolant to minimize heat buildup and keep the stones from galling against the iron cylinders.11 Here's the cylinder wall after a quick first pass. Notice the shadowing in a line straight down the bore directly in front of the head bolt hole. This is warping that developed over time. It was revealed when the honing stones removed the metal on either side of this shallow hole or depression. Even small variances like this can cause sealing problems. When this happens, exhaust gasses are allowed to pass by the rings—instead of pressing down on the piston to produce power.12 Troutman uses the gauge (on the white box on the right) to gauge pressure on the honing fixture. If the gauge goes up, that means the honing stones have hit a tight spot. When the gauge holds steady, he knows the cylinder is nice and round.13 The holes in the torque plate are slightly larger than the cylinder bores so that they won't contact the honing stones and affect the hone. But honing will leave a sharp edge between the bore and the deck of the block, which should be chamfered before beginning assembly.14 Few—if any—racers will have access to a profilometer to check the surface finish of a freshly honed block, but Troutman says that after being properly honed the cylinder bore should be medium gray, and slightly dull looking. The crosshatch pattern should be nice and even, and you should not be able to see any honing marks underneath the crosshatch (that will appear as a rougher spiral moving down the bore).15 This shot is of cylinder bores that have yet to be honed, but notice the color. Troutman says that if a cylinder has been honed too smooth (usually by using a stone that's too fine) the cylinder bore will be dark gray or black, similar to this.16 Quality modern rings are lapped, which ensures its roundness. And super-hard chrome faced rings are also largely a thing of the past. Because of this, all those old-school practices of pouring Bon Ami or some other abrasive into the carburetor to help the rings seat are no longer necessary. A proper break-in period is all that should be needed to get a quality set of rings seated.17 The honing work is complete, and the engine is on its way to be decked. But Troutman offers one last tip: Notice the vertical line down the cylinder wall? That's a mark left by the dial bore gauge. There's no damage to the bore, but if you don't see this line it usually means the machinist didn't do a final check after his last honing pass. Also, the machinist should check the bottom and top of every cylinder, so that line should extend all the way to the bottom of the cylinder bore. That witness line can sometimes be wiped off if you put some elbow grease to it, so it isn't a foolproof method of checking behind your machinist—but if you don't see them, it's worth asking.

NRA Calls For F&B Innovations for 2014 FABI Awards [1]
Read More About
The National Restaurant Association (NRA) is now accepting applications for the 2014 FABI Awards. The FABI Awards program recognizes and celebrates food and beverage manufacturers that advance the industry through innovation in ingredients, preparation, processing, and/or packaging.
An independent panel of expert judges will select the award recipients, which will be showcased at NRA Show 2014, taking place May 17–20 at Chicago's McCormick Place.
"Successful operators continually seek and adopt new products that reflect consumer trends, are highly marketable, and can add incremental value and benefits to their operations," says Mary Pat Heftman, executive vice president, convention & strategic alliances at the NRA. "The FABI Awards were created to identify emerging products that operators can use to enhance their business."
John Li, senior vice president of research and development at Bloomin' Brands and a FABI Awards judge, adds, "We are looking for trailblazing products that will help drive customer satisfaction and profitability for restaurants. I have seen how introducing a FABI Award can contribute to improving operators' businesses. That is why it is so important to bring these cutting-edge innovations to the forefront of the industry."
The deadline to apply for the 2014 FABI Awards is January 10, 2014. To be considered, all food and beverage products (new food or beverage product can include the packaging or delivery system) must be introduced in the U.S. foodservice marketplace between January 1, 2013, and May 17, 2014.
The innovative product must meet four criteria: unique with meaningful differentiation; superior to directly competing products; documentation for claims made and proof of performance; and deliver significant benefits to targeted operators as judged by the panel.
All applications are judged by an independent panel of experts, representing both commercial and non-commercial industry segments, including Carlyn Berghoff (CEO, Berghoff Catering & Restaurant Group), John Li (senior vice president, research & development, Bloomin' Brands), Jeff McClure (director of culinary services, Sodexo Education Market), Deborah McDaniel (senior director, product innovation & development, McDonald's USA), Mary Angela Miller (administrative director, Ohio State Wexner University Medical Center), Brad Nelson (vice president & corporate chef, Marriott International), Linda Sceurman (national director of nutrition & menu development, ARAMARK Education), William J. Spencer (chief, Air Force Appropriated Fund Food & Beverage Operations), Brian Wilson (senior culinary development chef, Bob Evans Farms), and Ed Wronski, (director, culinary & concept development, Walt Disney Parks and Resorts).

Over dinner tonight, one of the guests was describing herself as her boss's favorite employee, and asked for a term to describe this. As the only guest who spoke English as a first language, the question fell on me, but I could not think of any such term. Is there one? It would be similar to "teacher's pet" to describe a teacher's favorite student, but in the professional realm. "Boss's pet" just doesn't seem to fit.

"Blue-eyed boy" is an idiomatic term used to describe "a person highly regarded by someone and treated with special favour".
Neutral or positive connotations:
Negative connotation:
Some of the terms suggested here (like "brown-noser") describe someone who is attempting to gain this status, but not all brown-nosers succeed. So a manager's favorite employee might or might not be a brown-noser, but being a brown-noser doesn't ensure that you're the favorite.
Most terms for that relationship tend to have negative connotations. If it is a more positive relationship where the boss is mentoring your friend or grooming her for a better position, she would be his protégé.
I'd actually use "teacher's pet" — use of metaphors is allowed in English.
I think this person could describe themselves as the darling of the boss:
I would actually use the term "minion", which is defined as a servile follower or subordinate of a person in power; a favored or highly regarded person.
"Highly favored or regarded person" is kind of similar to a "teacher's pet" although it isn't using incorrect terminology to describe the people involved.
Common practice at my workplace has been that the favourite employee is labelled the "Golden Boy". Not sure how widespread that usage is though, and converting that to "Golden Girl" for the other gender sounds like an unflattering TV show reference.
"Boss's pet" is the first thing I thought of, based on the concept of a "teacher's pet" being the favored student of that teacher. So I think most people who know what "teacher's pet" means would understand what you meant if you used that.
Off the top of my head I can't think of many terms of endearment for the type of person you describe, let alone how such a person would describe oneself, but perhaps "Right hand man" is appropriate.
Although your guest wouldn't wish to refer to herself as any of the below, the following terms can be used disparagingly to refer to the kind of person you describe.
A few that immediately spring to mind are:
And the more coarse
If the person has been given a measure of authority by the boss and is the "go to guy" when the boss has a problem, he or she might be described as "The boss's right-hand man".

[CLOSED-85][Android] Doubletap on YEAR on Picker widget opens the phone application
I was testing the examples on my Motorola Milestone with Android 2.1 and when I opened the DatePicker widget and tapped 2 times in the Year field, my Dialer application opens with '1980' on the numberfield to call.

The same issue can be seen in some Android devices for things it recognizes as addresses. It will try to search for it in google maps.
If anyone knows a meta tag or way to prevent this behavior, we'd love to know.

I tried to find something to explain this behavior but did not find. Neither in the Android API and nothing about Webkit.
Addresses and phone numbers are usually detected after pressing the text for a while and the browser asks you what you want to do with that information. But with all pages doubletap change the zoom.
I will continue researching something to prevent this behavior.

This accident south of Waco backed up northbound I-35 traffic Tuesday morning. (Photo by Nichole Perez)
ROBINSON (January 8, 2013)—Accidents that were likely weather related were backing up traffic Tuesday morning on Interstate 35.
Northbound traffic was limited to one lane after a collision involving an 18-wheeler just south of Waco near mile marker 327.
A Texas Department of Public Safety trooper at the scene said at around 8:30 a.m. Tuesday the truck driver who was northbound on the highway hit the brakes and the slick road surface caused him to lose control of the rig, which jackknifed and skidded across the northbound lanes, crashing into a concrete barrier.
The crash resulted in a small fire that the driver and some other motorists were able to extinguish quickly.
The driver suffered minor injuries, but was not taken to a hospital.
The TxDOT spokesman was advising drivers choose an alternate route if possible.
There was no immediate estimate on how long it would take to clear the roadway of debris and return traffic to normal flow.
Accidents were also reported on the interstate in Temple and north of Waco.
In Temple, a northbound 18-wheeler jackknifed at mile marker 301 Tuesday morning after the driver tried to slow down as a vehicle in front of him began to hydroplane on the wet interstate.
The accident snarled northbound traffic until the lanes were reopened just after 10 a.m.
No one was hurt.

Is there any example of a transmission of energy in a medium that does not show wave nature?
closed as not a real question by Frédéric Grosshans, mbq Dec 14 '10 at 15:34
It's difficult to tell what is being asked here. This question is ambiguous, vague, incomplete, overly broad, or rhetorical and cannot be reasonably answered in its current form. For help clarifying this question so that it can be reopened, visit the help center.If this question can be reworded to fit the rules in the help center, please edit the question.
Yes, for example heat energy is transferred through three different means:
Of course, according to the Standard Model, everything has wave-like properties, so in a way there's no escape from waves, but I believe that your question is best answered with classical phenomena.
Three basic kinds of energy transfer are usually mentioned. However I don't quite agree with Sklivvz's answer so here is my take on this issue.
I'll start with radiation because it is the most fundamental of the three and so most easily answered. It is governed by Maxwell equations which are equivalent to classical wave-equations. So all radiative effects are manifestly wave-like in nature. Nevertheless, it has to be mentioned that by using various optical materials one can obtain also dissipative solutions and lots of non-linear dispersive effects.
One could say that conduction doesn't have wave-like properties because it is governed by parabolic heat equation. However, this equation surely isn't correct because it allows for infinite speed of propagation. There exists also relativistic heat equation which admits wave-like solutions (as one would expect for any relativistic system).
As for convection, this is usually governed by some kind of fluid equation from continuum mechanics (like Navier-Stokes) and I suppose that also here one could easily obtain wave-like solution (for specific system and initial conditions).
Now to give an answer to your question: yes, there exist many situations where energy is transferred in a non-wave-like fashion (like exponential decay) but I believe it's not correct to say that any kind of above three energy transfers is or isn't wave-like in general. It depends on precise situation one is dealing with and the level of approximation one is using (like taking relativity into account).

How were the results compared to a traditional decoction? Any tricks to know about?
Edit: For some context, see here.
No, but I'm fascinated. The writeup you linked to seems pretty comprehensive.
It does seem like a really nice way to get the benefits of a decoction while saving yourself the labor involved in a decoction.
Some concerns:
You'll get DMS formation in the enclosed environment, but any that is formed should be readily boiled off as normal during the boil.
It may not 'scale' well for a normal batch size; pulling a 3rd of the mash for decoction can be 1-3 gallons by volume... that's a lot of little canning jars you'd need. Will they all fit in the pressure cooker? How much does a big enough pressure cooker cost?
Also consider cleanup. Would you rather clean one decoction pot (which is usually your boil kettle anyway), or a dozen little jars?

Tips To Remember:
Use a steel measuring tape
Round down to the nearest 1/8" for width
Round up to the nearest 1/8" for height
See Product Specifications for more specific product info.
Sizes should always be provided in this format: Width x Height
On any measurement given, the factory does have a +/- 1/8 of an inch variance allowance.
Measure For Panel Track Blinds
Measure Depth: See chart on next page to determine if window casing has enough depth for an inside-mount window treatment.
Inside Mount:
Measure Width: Measure the inside width of window casing in three places. Record narrowest measurement.
Measure Height: Measure the inside height from the top of window casing to top of sill (or to the floor for patio doors) in three places.
Record shortest measurement.
Note: Do not take any deductions for clearance. The manufacturer will take necessary deductions for a perfect fit.
Manufacturer will deduct .5 inches from width and height.
Outside Mount
Record measurement. If you want the entire window uncovered when the shade is fully open, you will need to add more than 3" to the width.
Determine Headrail Location: Determine headrail mounting position and mark the spot.
Measure Height: Measure height to be covered from top of headrail location to bottom edge or top of sill if there is one. Record measurement.
Allow 3" for adequate mounting area above the window. If shade extends to the floor (i.e. to cover a patio door), measure height from the headrail
to the floor, and deduct ½" for Roller, Solar and Roman Shade fabrics, or 1" for Natural Shade materials in order for the panels to clear the floor.
Note: The manufacturer makes NO deductions on outside-mount installations.

The Mathematics of Love (Paperback)
The Mathematics of Love is a poignant chronicle of two people, separated by centuries, whose lives amazingly, impossibly become interwoven in a brilliant tapestry of tragedy, memory, and time. Following alternate but intimately connected stories of a curious, promiscuous teenager in her season of exile and awakening in the English countryside in 1976, and a nineteenth-century soldier damaged on the fields of Waterloo, struggling to find his way back to life with the help of a compassionate, extraordinary woman Emma Darwin's breathtaking narrative brilliantly evokes the horrors of war, the pain of loss, the heat of passion, and the enduring power of love.
About the Author
Emma Darwin studied drama and theatre arts at Birmingham University and then worked in academic publishing before turning to photography and writing. A great-great-granddaughter of Charles Darwin and his wife, Emma Wedgwood, Emma now lives in London with her two children. The author of The Mathematics of Love, she is finishing a Ph.D. in creative writing at Goldsmiths College.
Praise For…
"A convincing and involving read. A book to lose yourself in this summer."
-Daily Mail (London)
"An ambitious beginning, as much a ghost story as a romance."
-The Observer
"Emma Darwin's prose is golden and convincing. The book is an addictive, engaging foray into historical fiction."
"This is that rare thing, a book that works on every conceivable level...An uncommonly good read...A real achievement."
-London Times
"A novel rapturous with the joys of history...Anna's story is told in a wonderfully convincing, brittle, adolescent voice."
-The Australian
"The two stories that Darwin tells here add up to something hauntingly beautiful."
-Washington Post Book World

Here are what I remember:
It is either a post on a rather famous blog or maybe an arxiv paper. Pretty sure it was a post.
Regarding the contents (I don't quite remember that well so there might be inconsistencies), it had a fictional story about two students who for a project invented a new form of cryptology. The two students will each write down a positive integer on a piece of paper, and not tell each other, and the students were supposed to figure out what each others' number was.
One student then repeatedly asks the other "do you know my number?", to which the other student initially repeatedly replies "no". No other words than those two sentences are ever exchanged. At one point, one of the two students will then exclaim that they know the two numbers, and proceed to correctly identify their partner's number.
Thanks in advance!

Dutchman's Breeches (Dicentra cucullaria) is an early spring wildflower native to the rich deciduous forests of the Northeast, including Manhattan island. This plant is in the same genus as a widely used shade perennial you may know as Bleeding Heart.
The plant you see in this picture, Dicentra cucullaria, can be found in NYU's Native Woodland Garden in Schwartz Plaza on the east face of Bobst Library. This plant, along with all the others we've planted there since 2009 are believed to have been present on Manhattan island before European settlement in 1609. Dutchman's Breeches (named for its flower which recalls the garb used by Dutch colonists) goes dormant in summer, so make sure you catch it while it's in bloom!

Is the law of conservation of energy still valid or have there been experiments showing that energy could be created or lost?
The energy conservation becomes vacuous or invalid in the general theory of relativity and especially in cosmology. See
Why and what does it imply? First of all, Noether's theorem makes the energy conservation law equivalent to the time-translational symmetry. In general backgrounds in GR, the time-translational symmetry is broken (especially in cosmology), so the corresponding energy conservation law is broken, too, despite the fact that the energy conservation law (and the corresponding time-translational symmetry) is an unassailable principle in all of pre-general-relativistic physics.
One example of a possible subtlety we have to be careful about: $\nabla_\mu T^{\mu\nu}=0$ holds in GR but because it contains the covariant derivative $\nabla$, this law can't be brought to the equivalent integral form. The extra Christoffel symbol terms explicitly measure how much the energy conservation law is violated at the given point. There's no way to redefine $T_{\mu\nu}$ so that the conservation law would hold with partial derivatives $\partial_\mu$ but the energy would still retain a coordinate-independent value that actually constrains the final state in any way.
If one views the background as variable and appreciates that the underlying laws as being time-translational-invariant, it doesn't help because the time-translational symmetry is a subgroup of the diffeomorphism group which is a local (gauge) symmetry in GR, and all physical states must therefore be invariant under it. The invariance is the same thing as saying that the generator – the energy itself – identically vanishes. So we may declare that there's a conserved energy in GR but it's zero.
We may see the same point if we try to associate energy to gravitational waves. In general spacetimes, we will fail to find a good formula. It's not hard to see why. The total stress-energy tensor comes from the variation of the action with respect to the metric tensor. The variation of the "matter-field" part of the action gives us the matter part of the energy/momentum density. However, the variation of the gravitational part, the Einstein-Hilbert action, gives us an additional term, the Einstein curvature tensor. Of course, the sum of both vanishes – this condition is nothing else than Einstein's equations – because the metric tensor is a dynamical variable in GR and the action has to be stationary under variations of all dynamical fields.
We may also try to invent other definitions of the total energy in general spacetimes. They will either explicitly refuse to be conserved; or they will be identically zero; or they will depend on the chosen spacetime coordinates (in the latter case, it will actually be the case that the whole "beef" of the energy will be just an artifact of the choice of coordinates and there will be no "meaningful piece" that would actually depend on the matter distribution). There's no way to define "energy" in general (cosmological) situations that would be nonzero, coordinate-choice-independent, and conserved at the same moment.
For asymptotically flat or other asymptotically time-translationally-invariant spacetimes, we may again define the total energy, the ADM mass, but it is not possible to exactly say "where it is located" and the cleanest way to determine the ADM mass is from the asymptotic conditions of the spacetime.
In cosmology, the most explicit example of the text above is the FRW uniform and isotropic cosmology. In that case, the total energy stored in dust which has $p=0$, vanishing pressure, is conserved. However, the total energy stored in radiation is decreasing as $1/a$ where $a$ are the linear dimensions of the Universe simply because each photon (or particle of radiation) sees its wavelength grow as $a$ and energy goes like $1/\lambda$ i.e. $1/a$.
There are other states of matter I could discuss such as cosmic strings and cosmic domain walls which obey different power laws. But the most interesting example I will mention is the cosmological constant. It's an energy density of the vacuum. Because the cosmological constant is "constant", this energy density is always and everywhere the same. So because the density is constant and the volume of spacetime grows as $a^3$ in our spacetime dimension, the total energy stored in the Universe grows as $a^3$, too.
Cosmic inflation is driven by a "temporary cosmological constant" so the total energy of the Universe grows with the volume of the Universe, too. In Alan Guth's words, inflation (or the Universe) is the ultimate free lunch. Inflation explains why the mass/energy of the visible Universe is so much hugely larger than the mass scales of particle physics.
For different mixtures of matter obeying different equations of state (roughly speaking, with different ratios of pressure and energy density), one will see the total energy increase or decrease or be constant. Generally, the total energy of the Universe will tend to increase as the Universe expands if the Universe is filled with matter of increasingly negative pressure; the total energy will decrease if it is filled with matter of increasingly positive pressure.
Energy has been shown to be conserved in all circumstances where it is currently possible to test it experimentally. It is also conserved according to theory in any system with time translation invariance. This is the case in all known physics including general relativity.
Some people have tried to argue that energy is not conserved in general relativity, or that conservation is approximate, trivial or meaningless. This is not the case. A variety of falacious arguments are used to support non-conservation, e.g. some theorists say that general relativity does not have time-translation invariance because the gravitational field is not invariant. The obvious solution to this is to include the gravitational field as a dynmaical field with its own time-transaltion invariance. Despite this such incorrect arguments have even made their way into textbooks written by well known cosmologists. This is not something where you should rely on the word of authority. Check the maths and the logic yourself.
This subject has been discussed on physics stackexchange several time before so I wont expand on this answer. Suffice to say that energy is conserved in all established physical laws including general realtivity. It is not approximate, or trivial or true only in special cases. See also the discussions at my blog http://blog.vixra.org/category/energy-conservation/
It is still valid.
Only two hypothetical exclusions exist:
1) Quantum uncertainty principle. Energy can be uncertain if time is certain and vice versa. So, virtual particles can violate energy conservation law for a small amounts of time. These violations are averaged in normal scales.
2) General relativity model. Universe are not equal over time. Since energy conservation is a consequence of time uniformity, it is possible that it is violated in cosmological scale.
I think Lubos said it very well. Phil Gibbs is, I believe, way off track in thinking energy exists in general relativity. It definitely does not, as there is no background space-time against which one can ask whether the laws are time translationally invariant.
Can anyone here say there is research to back their claims,e.g. that physics' laws can be put aside at and before the start of our universes? The answer is no, all the math and theorems are simply a creation of scientists to support theories and suppositions that they have never observed,can not be observed if the laws that govern universes now where non-existent at the beginning. It all sounds very wise and learned but the truth is it boils down to this: Scientists can not explain the existence of a super small matter,energy or whatever you may call it supposedly existed at the time of the Big bang. Regardless of whether its value was zero (which seems to connotate in one small dot would imply a static state) and does not explain the unpredictable expansion that also added up to zero which we call our universe now which scientists have conveniently exempted all existing theory to fit into their limited knowledge of that universe. All this talk about zero values, a singularity and such as well as the numbers to back these suppositions does have some value, of course. There was a singularity when creation began; and there is more than likely a singularity when creation began before that and before that. The theories proposed are based on time as a straight line or perhaps even a curved line in the case of einstein's theories concerning the curvature of the universes. But a zero state at the time of the creation of our universe(s) implies that time also equaled zero. This means that any one point in time at the time of the big bang would have been equal to the beginning and the end at the same identical time. Time would have been circular, truly there was a singularity. The Bible calls that Creator as the ALPHA and the OMEGA, the beginning and the end, yes at the same instant, zero and everything that exists which add up to zero. Time that moves in an infinite circle truly will keep the laws of the conservation of matter and energy in place.Where the beginining can also be the end. Who can explain what amount of energy or what force could have re-arranged zero circular time into a straight line or perhaps even a curved phenom? No one on earth can imagine this kind of time, it is a singularity and since we are all bound by time that runs along a straight line, from birth to death and all points in between, no one can even begin to understand the alpha and the omega, God that is the beginning and the end. How is it possible to understand this with mathematical equations that can not begin to de scribe this circular time and all that really happened at the Beginning(s)? The wisdom of men is but foolishness to God. All the attempts to erase the Alpha and Omega from science only creates more unanswered questions and will require even more exceptions to the laws of physics in the future. For what, just to keep cherished theories that proclaim our wisdom to the rest of us on earth? For what does any of these cherished theories actually benefit anything but a few scientists' egos and their unwillingness to accept that the beginning of knowledge increases the chance that they may find out they don't know anyhting at all! It is all vanity. Time is circular and the furthest reaches of space are actually right next to us. If the magnetic field is removed or weakened, things have a hard time holding atoms together, but suppose if a person was able to weaken magnetic fields enough to separate atoms that enabled them to walk through a wall or other planes that exists next to us concurrently? In order to advance science it is necessary to open our minds and hearts leaving behind our egos, moving ahead like children with curiousity and joy, not caring if we win or lose but just exploring for the joy of it. Perhaps then the men will be able to see the Truth that has always been there and find out that we didn't have to create singularity math justifications to find it. It can not be found via the wisdom of men. Men are bound by linear time and therefore can not experience in anyway what happened on before and perhaps not even after creation. Many questions have not been answered. Why do some planets rotate in reverse? Why don't all galaxies rotate the same way? Why aren't they all shaped the same? Why don't they all move apart or together at the same speed?Why would have any part of the big bang cause some particles to be hurled further out than others if they were moving through what should have been empty space, a vacuum? Why aren't all solar systems set up about the same way following a uniform path, regardless of their locations? Some of these questions are certainly observable and even answerable, but moving from a circular system into a linear or curved one has to trace the question from its inception to where it exists presently.

2 cups cooked turkey, diced
2 cups edamame
1 cup carrot, sliced into 1/4 inch rounds
1 cup celery, diced into 1/4 inch pieces
1 yellow summer squash, cut into bite-sized pieces
2 cups kale, cut into bite-sized pieces
Bring the stock to a boil, then add the turkey, edamame, carrots and celery. Return to boil for 5 minutes, add egg noodles, then return to boil for another 5 minutes. Add squash and kale. Return to boil for another 5 minutes. Salt and pepper to taste. Serve and enjoy.
Homemade Turkey Stock
Bones of 1 turkey
3 stalks celery
3 cloves garlic, skinned
1 large onion, cut into large wedges
1 carrot
1 bay leaf
4 sprigs fresh thyme, or 1 teaspoon dried
water to cover
Roast the turkey carcass in a 350 degree oven for 40 minutes. Place turkey, celery, garlic, onion, carrot, bay leaf and thyme in a large stock pot. Add enough water to cover all ingredients completely (approximately 18 cups). Bring all contents to a boil. Skim any foam off the top as it rises to the surface. Reduce heat to a strong simmer and simmer for 4 hours.
At the end of 4 hours, strain stock through large sieve, then again through smaller one to remove all particles. Discard solids as all flavor in them is gone. Reduce the stock to one third the original volume of water added, 6 cups. Stock is ready to use.
Homemade Egg Noodles
1 cup all purpose flour
1 egg, beaten
1/2 teaspoon salt
2 tablespoons milk
Combine egg, salt and milk, and add enough flour to make a stiff dough, up to 1 cup. Roll to 1/4 inch thickness on a floured surface. Let dough stand for 20 minutes, then cut into 1/4 inch wide noodles with a pizza cutter. Hang noodles to dry for 2 hours. Noodles need to be cooked for 10 minutes in a boiling liquid, such as in the recipe above.

The Chef's Plate Features Christmas Farm Inn Restaurant
You may know of The Chef's Plate, a weekly half-hour show that features local chefs from all over New Hampshire who will be rpreparing favorite recipes. You can catch the show on WBIN-TV and NH Public Access. It's a wonderful way to learn about some of the best places to eat in the state, and because of that we're super proud to have Chef Stan and the Christmas Farm Inn restaurant featured! After all, this is one New Hampshire B&B that offers more meals than just breakfast!
We were recently one of a few White Mountain area restaurants visited by Helen of Chef's Plate, who got to try a variety of dishes. The Prince Edward Island mussels steamed in a white wine sauce of tomatoes, garlic, red chili flakes and chorizo gets rave reviews, as does the Crispy Calimari seasoned with Chinese five spice and Szechuan peppercorns atop a seaweed salad.
Moving in from the sea, there is the Green Apple Bourbon Strip Steak, a delicious 12 oz NY strip steak char-broiled and served with a green apple bourbon demiglas. The Braised Lamb Shank is always a favorite, as is the best-selling Maple Pecan Salmon! Helen also got to try the suburb Oven-Roasted Tuscan Haddock baked with creamy artichoke, roasted tomato, and spinach topping. For dessert they sampeld the Maple Crème Brulee and the famous Chocolate Bag,
Helen was impressed with Chef's Stan's flare for presentation as well as his dedication to seasonal menu changes and inventive cocktails like the Morning Glory Martini with pineapple, organge juice, and guava with Vodka, Rum, and Brandy.
In addition to sampling the food, Helen got a tour of the Christmas Farm Inn property and spa, inclduing the many diffrent types of rooms and the fantastic Carriage House Suites. Sandra also took her on a tour to the AVEDA concept spa. The products are all based on sustainable, organic sourced ingredients, similar to the philosophy of the restaurant's seasonal items.
We're so glad to have shared our New Hampshire Inn with Helen and the Chef's Plate team! With so many delicious dishes included in the video, it's almost impossible to not have your mouth watering by the end. Don't prolong your hunger-- come to Christmas Farm Inn for dinner soon and try something spectacular for yourself! You'll see why we're one of New Hampshire's best travel destinations!
Christmas Farm Inn now a Valley Original
The Christmas Farm Inn & Spa is part of The Valley Originals, a group of locally owned and operated restaurants in the Mount Washington Valley.
We display the group's yellow flag with a fork and a plate. When you see the flag at a business, you know the owners want to nurture and promote independent restaurants.
We believe that good food is essential to a healthy mind, body and soul. That's why we offer a menu of freshly prepared, authentic cuisine incorporating natural and organic ingredients, meats and produce that naturally looks great and tastes great.
We source available products locally and regionally, and work with quality purveyors to ensure farm-to-table quality and freshness throughout the year. Vegetarian and gluten-free options are available, and we can cater to most dietary requests. See our daily specials and enjoy the taste of real food made from scratch and cooked fresh. We do not add MSG or artificial flavor enhancers in our food.
Another good thing about the Valley Originals is that it supports local organizations, charities and activities, so dining with a Valley Originals member restaurant not only means great food and service, but also support for good causes here in the area. All members are involved in the community effort. The Valley Originals gave $172,000 back to non-profit organizations in 2012 alone.Written by Steven Stiefel

A new report by One Law for All entitled "Siding with the Oppressor: The Pro-Islamist Left" exposes Stop the War Coalition, Respect Party, Unite Against Fascism and individuals such as Ken Livingstone and George Galloway and their agenda and methods. This section of the Left uses accusations of racism and Islamophobia and a conflation of Muslim with Islamist in order to defend Islamism and Islam rather than out of any real concern for prejudice against Muslims or their rights, particularly since Muslims or those labelled as such are the first victims of Islamism and on the frontlines of resisting it.
The report has been written as a companion volume to "Enemies not Allies: The Far-Right". Like the far-Right which 'despises' multiculturalism yet benefits from its idea of difference to scapegoat the 'other' and promote its own form of white identity politics, the pro-Islamist Left also uses multiculturalism to side with the oppressor by viewing the 'Muslim community' and 'Muslim world' as homogeneous entities thereby ignoring and silencing dissenters. This politics of betrayal sides with the Islamic far-Right and the oppressor. Challenging this perspective is especially important given its wide acceptance as 'progressive' in mainstream society.
Any principled point of view must oppose all forms of fascism, including Islamic fascism, and instead side with the countless people, including Muslims, who are fighting and challenging Islamism here in Europe as well as the Middle East, North Africa and the world.
The below is my postscript to One Law for All's new publication Siding with the Oppressor: The Pro-Islamist Left. It is a companion volume to Enemies not Allies: The Far-Right. You can read full report here.
The politics of the pro-Islamist Left is a politics of betrayal.
It's a betrayal of the dissenters and victims of Islamism but also of the very principles that the Left has historically defended (from social justice, egalitarianism, secularism, universalism, and human liberation, including from religion).
This Left uses multiculturalism, charges of racism and Islamophobia, and anti-imperialism, amongst others to defend the far-Right political Islamic movement.
Multiculturalism and Cultural Relativism
The Pro-Islamist Left relies on multiculturalism (not as a positive lived experience but as a social policy and political point of view) to deny the existence of dissent by pigeonholing innumerable individuals with innumerable characteristics into one imagined homogeneous grouping: 'the Muslim community' or 'the Muslim world'. And since it is those in power that determine the dominant culture, this point of view sees Islamist values and sensibilities as that of 'authentic Muslims'.
In fact, 'Muslims' or those labelled as such include secularists, ex-Muslims, atheists, free thinkers, women's rights activists, LGBT campaigners and socialists.
Conflating Islamism with Muslim is a narrative peddled by Islamists in an attempt to feign representation.
Contrary to how it's viewed, regressive Islamists are given authority as 'community leaders' not because they actually represent the 'Muslim Community' but because of their access to the state, political power and their links with the political Islamic movement. Multiculturalism is a cheap way for the state to outsource social control.
Clearly, the 'Muslim community' is not synonymous with Islamism any more than English is synonymous with the English Defence League or Christian with the Christian-Right.
Ironically, like the far-Right which 'despises' multiculturalism yet benefits from its idea of difference to scapegoat the 'other' and promote its own form of white identity politics, the post-modernist Left also uses multiculturalism to defend cultural and moral relativism and side with the oppressor.
To accept the Islamist narrative that Muslim equates Islamist is to hand over countless individuals to the political Islamic movement and to ignore the dissent, political, social and civil struggles and class politics.
This conflation means that those who challenge Islamism are accused of cultural imperialism and orientalism because the pro-Islamist Left has bought into the culturally-relativist notion that societies in the Middle East and North Africa (and the 'Muslim community' in the west) are 'Islamic' and 'conservative'. Whilst those in power determine the dominant culture, there is no one homogeneous culture anywhere. Those who consider opposition to the veil or Sharia law as 'foreign' and 'culturally inappropriate' are only considering Islamism's sensibilities and values, not that of the many who resist.
Only those who see their rights and lives as separate and different from those deemed 'other' and who have bought into (or are selling) Islamism's narrative can see solidarity and the demand for equality in this warped way.
In fact, this politics doesn't merely ignore dissent, in many ways it forbids it. The likes of StWC, Socialist Workers Party, Unite against Fascism, Islamophobia Watch, and Respect Party or Ken Livingstone and George Galloway are there as prefects to silence dissenters and defend Islamism as a defence of 'Muslims'. There are many examples to show that they equate Muslim with Islamist.
In responding to those opposing its alliance with the Muslim Association of Britain (which is understood to be a branch of the Muslim Brotherhood), the StWC's leadership Andrew Murray and Lindsey German have written:
Anyone remotely acquainted with the British trade union movement will be aware that neither sexism nor homophobia are uncommon in its ranks. […] woman can be subjected to more crude sexist behaviour than they might be likely to encounter within the Muslim Association of Britain. No one would suggest that an anti-war movement should have no truck with trade unionism until its ranks are 100 percent cleansed of such behaviour. Yet this is good enough as a stick to beat Muslims. Such attitudes indicate a form of racism, a desire to hold their organisations at arm's length for the flaws which are, in some measure, tolerable in ours.
The comparison is absurd. The difference of course is that the ethos of the trade union is not anti-woman, its ethos does not say that apostates should be killed or as the head of the MAB said recently at a debate with One Law for All that women should be stoned to death. StWC's alliance with the MAB is akin to aligning with the EDL and then saying that racism exists in the ranks of the trade unions too so why single out the English!?
Racism and Islamophobia
This pro-Islamist Left deems any criticism of Islam or Islamism as racism or Islamophobia. However, criticising a religion, ideology or political movement – far-Right or otherwise – has nothing to do with racism. In fact, Islamophobia is a political term used to scaremonger people into silence. [Read more…]

Flat Irons - 11-20-2010, 11:18 AM
I like to straighten my hair but I don't do it all the time. My sister lets me borrow her flat iron because she mostly curls her hair with French Braids. I heard that if you straighten you hair with a flat iron all the time it will damage your hair. My hair is natrually wavy and I like it. My sister said I look great in both wavy&straight hair.
It's so weird whenever I straighten my hair, I look so much older than my age. O.o I don't really care about that tho. ^^
So.. what do you think of flat irons?
Joey Thunder is perrffff ♥
"I'm not angel, I'm just me, but I will love you endlessley." [endlessly, the cab]
Never used them; my hair is naturally poker straight. These tips might help you out:
10 Flat Iron Success Tips Tips on How to Flat Iron Your Hair
1. Begin with Well-Conditioned Hair
Before you even turn on that flat iron, ask yourself this: is my hair well-conditioned and moisturized? If it's not, turn that iron off and tend to your hair first. Sometimes, we think that a good heat protectant product is supposed to do all the work, but that's not true. You have to do your part to make sure you're only heat styling hair that's in a condition to take all of that heat without doing further damage. Only flat iron hair that's been regularly conditioned and cared for; otherwise, applying heat to dry, brittle hair is only prolonging the inevitable--a major cut.
2. Flat Iron Clean Hair
The best time to flat iron your hair is immediately following a fresh shampoo and condition (and deep condition if necessary). You have to press clean hair; applying heat to hair that has products and dirt in it is doing nothing more than baking these old products and dirt in. Need a touch up during the week? Flat iron once more, with minimal heat, but that's it; flat ironing is not for every day.
3. Use Smoothing Balm or Serum
After shampooing and conditioning, apply a smoothing balm or serum to your hair. This helps much more if your hair is chemical-free, but relaxed ladies can benefit from it, too. Look for humidity-resistant formulas if you live in a climate where humidity makes a frizzy mess of your straightening work as soon as you step out the door.
4. Use Heat Protectant
Once your hair is dry, apply a heat protectant to each section of hair before you flat iron it. Don't get fooled, though--a heat protectant helps, but even the best brand won't hold up to heat that's too high.
5. Avoid Oil Before Ironing
Applying a natural oil after you iron is fine. Sometimes you need a little weight afterward, but don't put oil on your hair before you press it. You won't get that lightweight, bouncy look you're after.
6. Only Flat Iron Dry Hair
For the best, longest-lasting results, only flat iron completely dry hair. Does this mean you have to blow dry it straight first? Not necessarily. You can always wet wrap your hair and sit under a hood or bonnet dryer until it's dry--this is a gentler drying method and the wrapping technique smooths your hair just like blow drying would. You can also let your hair air dry until it's about 80% dry, and then blow dry it the rest of the way. Flat ironing hair that's not completely dry will cause it to frizz up.
7. Go Slow and Steady
Try not to flat iron when you're in a hurry. This is a technique that requires slow, controlled movement, but don't let the iron sit in one place for any length of time. Move it, but don't rush it. Begin as close to the roots as you can and pull the iron down in one smooth motion. If you hurry through it, you may have to go over that section again (and again). Remember: the less heat, the better. Making one good pass is better than making three or four mediocre ones.
8. Adjust the Temperature as Needed
Just because your iron heats up to 450 degrees doesn't mean every part of your hair requires that much heat. For women with natural hair, finding out that they have two or three different textures on one head may be a shock, but it's not uncommon. Your crown area may be the curliest section, requiring high heat, but the hair on the sides of your head may be straighter, so turn the heat down when pressing that section.
9. Iron Small Sections
Smaller irons (1 1/2 inches or less) are better for tackling small sections of hair. Try not to press pieces wider or thicker than 1 inch at a time. You'll do a better job of straightening the entire section when you don't have to deal with too much hair. Big, chunky sections won't straighten properly.
10. Wrap Hair at Night
Now that your flat ironing job is complete, don't ruin all your hard work with no night time care! Wrap your hair at night and cover with silk or satin before bed. This way, your morning routine consists of little more than taking your hair down and combing through it. You already have the slight curve and volume and no more heat is required.
I love flat ironing my hair. (: I started doing it in the 8th grade, (but not everyday since lol.) I like the way it makes my hair look and feel. My hair is wavy and really long and it helps keep knots out of my hair, it has a problem with getting knots for for no reason lol and I dont have to worry about brushing my hair during the day. Before I do it, I blow dry my hair and it makes my hair look even better, but sometimes there will be no body to my hair so I have to do this little flip to make it have body ^^
And thanks for the tips (: I aways have a problem with going "Slow and Steady" when I get ready for school cause I'm always in a rush XD
I've been straightening my hair for probably 4 years now.
I'm REALLY bad at protecting my hair from the heat. :3
I used to have a really good heat protectant, but then we had a house fire yada yada yada don't remember what it's called yada yada yada, So I got a new one and it's horrible, all sticky like hairspray that makes my hair stick together and look all smooshed and crispy. Not good.
All it really means though is that I have to get my hair cut a little more often becuase I get really bad split ends after about 6 months.
My hair is naturally really curly and knotty and fluffy and thick. I straighten it all the time.
"I feel you breathing... Everywhere...The rain, the hay... please. Please Wendela."
I know what you mean, I've never use heat protectant for my hair, so I have really bad split ends after so many months -_- and there awful too it gets on my nerves. So, I was just thinking last night I wish I had some heat protectant for my hair when I reread this thread. Then today at school my english teacher came into my homeroom like I have bunch of hair products if anyone would like some. O.o
Yeah, I ended up with 3 bottles.

glampyre's sanpoku
I love checking my RSS feed to see what's up with my favorite knitting and craft blogs. (Sometimes it does get a little ahead of me – like when I have 1200 items to look at from my Ravelry friend's favorites list – oh well). This week I was so happy to see Stephanie Japel's finished version of the Berroco design Sanpoku from booklet 262 Yin & Yang.
Stephanie Japel's Sanpoku in Berroco Comfort.
Stephanie, of Glampyre Knits fame, is a designer herself and a new mom. I'm wondering how she finds the time to work on her own designs and blog and knit from our patterns as well. While she was pregnant she designed this lovely sweater in Berroco Touché:
Click on the photo to get to the pattern info on the Glampyre Knits site.
I love Stephanie's designs and often wonder too how she manages to be so prolific ….(I wonder the same about you)!!….
I just received some Berroco Ultra Alpaca light today and will be casting on for Anais ASAP (this will be my first time knitting one of your patterns-sort of embarressed to say that as I've been a fan for ages but mostly don't get around to knitting other folks patterns)…very excited though and the Ultra Alpaca looks gorgeous.April 15, 2008

I too love seeing how designs turn out in umpteen variations on Ravelry. Someone recently posted one of your patterns from the 1997 Spring issue of Knitters. It was a lilac pullover with a leaf design that called for a now-defunct yarn (Unger's Sorbet). The gauge is given in pat st so I'm having trouble deciding on a substitute. Do you remember this design and could you suggest a current Berroco yarn that would work? The smallest size given was a 36″ but for today's fitted look I was thinking of knitting it a tad bit tighter. Aside from that, this pattern looks very NOW!April 17, 2008
I love both of these – I've become addicted to the gorgeousness of se3emingly unstructured knits – you are both geniuses (genii?). I just wish the berrocco books weren't so hard to get in Australia.
It would be fabulous if the patterns could be downloaded as PDFs in the way that Stephanie's are. Just a thought (entirely self-interested!!)April 20, 2008
Greetings from Stamford, Vermont! I live just above North Adams, MA, the home of MaMOCA. A growing place for artists. Maybe, you will come to visit? I discovered your site researching yarns and short row heeled socks. When I saw the picture of the sauna, I just had to contact you. Ahhhh-sauna…how I miss it, and baby Finnish names. Do you have Finnish roots? I was an exchange student for a summer, 1967, and was placed in Loimaa, with a wonderful family, who I miss so much. Your sweater, for John, is a wonderful design for a wonderful man! I am waylaid with a head injury and thought I would knit for warm woolies. Because my driving is restricted, I thought I would research on the web for patterns and yarns. What a delightful afternoon it has been. Nora, I feel like I have had a long chat with a good friend! Would John share his design for sauna? It has been my dream to have a sauna one day. Thanks so much for a wonderful visit!! Kiitos!April 21, 2008
Norah, I love Sanpoku, but was surprised to find that it was really a shrug (or as Stephanie puts it, a "reverse mullet"!). Nowhere in the pattern booklet is it shown from the back… it requires careful pattern reading and a good look at the pattern schematic to discover this. Since this is a big part of the design, don't you think it would have been a good idea to make that visible? It seems a bit misleading otherwise. But since there are several other designs in the same booklet that I'll also probably make, I ain't too disappointed!May 7, 2008

Basically today I had a bizarre suggestion; someone told me that my Dura Ace 7900 crankset (a 53 chainring) needs replacing because some teeth are worn from use.
I ask myself, is that possible? I've had Dura Ace before and the only thing I've heard about changing every once in a while is the (rear) cassette.
What do I have to do? Change my chainring, buy a new one for 200 euros? I believe it is impossible for people to buy cassettes and chain rings every year. I am not a pro cyclist to ride many thousands of kilometres a year!

Fable Trilogy listed on Xbox Games Store, out next monthWritten by: / / 4 Comments
If you're new to the Fable franchise then a recent listing on the Xbox Games Store has revealed that you'll soon be able to purchase all three games in the series for a "discounted rate". The 'Fable Trilogy' will be available on the same day that Fable Anniversary arrives at retail and on the Xbox Games Store (February 4th in North America and February 7th in Europe), and contains digital versions of Fable II, Fable III as well as the new release. This bundle only includes the base version of each game so don't expect any DLC to form part of the package.
Microsoft hasn't announced how much the Fable Trilogy will cost but we should get clarification on this matter in the coming weeks.
Fable Anniversary is a HD remake of Fable: The Lost Chapters which was originally released in September 2005 for the Xbox and PC. Head over here for El33tonline's previous coverage of this highly anticipated release.

Ah well, I'll correct that.
From console, im starting a job like this: mpirun -np 4 Program, where i want to run a Program on 4 processors.

First of all, let me congratulate the theoretical physics community for this site. I am a mathematics student with very little background in phyiscs. The question I want to ask is:
What is the proper mathematical definition of BPS states?
In string theory the BPS states correspond either to coherent sheaves or special Lagrangians of Calabi- Yau manifold depending upon the type of string theory considered. but in SUSY quantum field theories in 4d, there are no CYs as far I know (which is very little) and in gravity theories, these corresponds to some Black Holes. So what is the general mathematical definition of BPS states which is independent of the theory in consideration, say a general SUSY Quantum field theories, be it QFT, string theory, Gravity and in any dimension.
I am very sorry, if the question is not framed properly due to my ignorance of the physics involved. Thanks

The maftir for many holidays, from the second sefer, has to do with the korban musaf of that day. But shabbat is a "holiday" and there is definitely a korban hayom as evidenced by its inclusion in our musaf davening. Why don't we take out 2 sifrei torah on each shabbat and have a maftir each week from "uvayom hashabbat"? [I was told that somewhere there might be a tosafot about this but I don't know where to look.]

Tosfiyos Megila 23a gives 3 reasons.
1- Since the Maftir of Shabbos has only 2 Pesukim and we do not read less than 3 Pesukim. We can not start from a earlier or finish with a later Pasuk as it has nothing to do with Shabbos.
2- The Haftora has to do with what we just finished reading, and if every Shabbos we read the same Maftir then all the Haftoras would be the same.
3- We only read Korbanos if they are brought as a Kapara, and the Korban of Shabbos is not brought as a Kapara.
