It's the day before Thanksgiving, what's known as the busiest travel day of the year.
Everyone driving to their holiday destination, but not everyone gets there all that smoothly.
Like Beverly Lamp who's traveling from Murfreesboro, Tennessee to West Virginia for Thanksgiving.
"I thought maybe I got bad gas, I just stopped a mile back. I went to pass a semi, so I punched my gas down, and as I went by to pass my car lost speed and it just died on me. So, I got off the interstate and I've been here about 30 minutes, and I've been trying to figure out what to do, and was so happy to see the service truck pull in behind me," said Lamp.
That service truck wasn't police or emergency, it was safe patrol, an agency started by former Governor Ernie Fletcher designed to help motorists and assist police with accidents.
The workers cruise the interstate and take calls, and they say they often get there before anyone else.
"You've got families out there traveling through Kentucky, they don't know anyone in bowling green or the surrounding areas, so we pull up and everyone's glad to see us," said Jim Elliott of Safe Patrol.
Whether you're flying or driving, technology is even doing it's part to lend a helping hand, there are apps about traffic and flight delays.
However some delays, you just never know are coming, but on a busy travel day, it's nice to get some help.
"I was so excited. Yay!" said Lamp.

Throughout the rest of Kings it seems perfectly normal for the narrator to give the name of any particular king (e.g. Ahab), even when that particular king is wicked (e.g. Ahab). But in 2 Kings 5-7, the king of Israel is simply called "the king" or "the king of Israel" throughout the text rather than being specifically named. What then is the literary purpose of this?

Verse 5 is the King of Aram talking. It is a cliche / convention that King 'a' refers to King 'b' as 'The King of X'. Once the pattern is set, the narrative sticks with it.
It has nothing to do with whether the king in question is good or bad.
It is also possible that this story was once told as 'once upon a time ...' and wasn't actually tied to a specific, named, king, but that seems less likely to me.

Currently I have ceramic tile in the main hallways of my house. I am looking to replace this with hardwood flooring and will potentially be performing the demolition work myself to save money. I know there is concrete board under the tile with plywood under that. I want to know, how easy it is to separate the concrete board from the plywood so as to reuse the subfloor (assuming it is in good shape). Is it worth trying to separate it, or just pull it all up and start fresh.
If your question is, "Should I try to remove the backer board and leave the plywood in place?" the answer is, "Yes."
Unless the plywood is warped or damaged, that would be my first choice. It should be relatively simple to pull up the backerboard from the plywood, although there will be a million fasteners.

as you can see, tonight, fabio capello resigned as england boss. everyone wants interviews, with him. reports are he has already spoken to italian press.
now on football manager i could win several cups with united/barca/madrid/milan..... if i get sacked or resign no-one seems to care, surely the press would be all over me for interviews. welsh media wanting an interview as to why i resigned from world dominatin barcelona.
i mean if i did a interview after several years a club, become a fan favourate and then resign, it would be more realistic if i had a interview as to why i left. could say the chairman was a w**ker ect, so the fans would turn on the chairman for backing me.
this could lead to say if a new chairmen bought the club, wanted to win some fans over early on, re-hire a fan favourate there for winning some fans over.
thoughts please............

I have an "Edit user" modal that I'm trying to polish. This is the state of things:
My main concern is that it is optional to enter a new password, and this is not made clear. If the "New password" and "Confirm password" are left empty, then the corresponding user password is left unchanged. Presenting the two inputs fields empty suggests that the a new password should always be entered when editing a user.
What (non-verbal?) cues can I give to the user to explain that entering a new password is optional.
[Please see here for a live version of the modal.]

Although radical prostatectomy (complete surgical removal of the prostate) is the best way to cure cancer that is confined to the prostate, many men choose not to undergo the procedure to avoid the possibility of side effects--in particular, impotence and/or incontinence. But a new study shows that when the procedure is done by a highly experienced surgeon, "side effects are minimal and the outcome is quite good," says lead author Dr. Patrick Walsh, director of the Brady Urological Institute at Johns Hopkins Medical Institutions in Baltimore. Some centers report that only 50% of their patients are continent and 10-30% are potent after radical prostatectomy, but many centers of excellence report "much higher" potency and continence rates, he asserts.
Why the discrepancies? Until now, they were attributed to differences in data collection, Dr. Walsh explained in an interview. It seemed that patients reported worse side effects on anonymous questionnaires than when they spoke directly to their doctors, and this was said to influence side effect rates.
But when Dr. Walsh and colleagues used anonymous questionnaires to assess side effect rates in 64 of their radical prostatectomy patients, they found that 98% had only minor problems, if any, with urinary control one year after the operation. Potency was assessed a year and a half after the procedure, and the results varied with age; 100% of men 30-39 years of age were potent, as were 88% of men aged 40-49, 90% of men aged 50-59, and 75% of men aged 60-67. The results appear in the January issue of the journal Urology.
"Radical prostatectomy is a difficult, demanding operation," Dr. Walsh observes. "Patients who feel that the procedure is the best treatment for their condition should seek out physicians who do a lot of them."
In a separate study in the same journal, the researchers found that videotaping surgery provides an opportunity for surgeons to improve their outcomes. By comparing videotaped surgery of 10 men who remained continent and potent 3 months later with 10 men who were not potent a year after the procedure, Dr. Walsh identified four small variances in surgical technique that were associated with better outcomes; the small changes in technique were needed because of subtle anatomical differences among patients. Videotapes can be used for review by individual surgeons to compare their technique in patients with different outcomes, and also could be swapped among institutions to improve outcomes overall.
Until the advent of PSA testing in the early 1990s, prostate cancer was rarely diagnosed at a curable stage, so the potential benefits of radical prostatectomy did not outweigh the possible side effects. But today, he says, "we're diagnosing most men in the United States with curable disease. Many are young, potent, and have a sexual partner. So the good news is, men diagnosed with early prostate cancer can be saved from dying of metastatic cancer 10 or 15 years later. Now the side effects of this operation should be reduced to the point where you have both extension of life and quality of life."

Sports-Specific Injuries
In This Article:
Improper conditioning and technique can lead to overuse injuries, such as shoulder impingement and epicondylitis (golfer's elbow). Back pain and injury is most common and can be chronic and problematic. Wrist pain and tenosynovitis along with trigger fingers and wrist ganglia can occur. Stress or impact fractures can include those in the wrist, ribs, and spine.
To prevent golf injuries: Conditioning exercises including wrist and shoulder exercises and back and abdominal strengthening should be done three times weekly. Stability ball exercises, including rotational torso maneuvers, are quite popular among golfers. Regular golfers should do spine and upper body flexibility exercises. Technique is crucial to reducing overuse injuries.
As a sport that challenges entire body strength, balance, and flexibility, both chronic and acute injuries can occur. Repetitive spine movements in many planes can contribute to spondy and disc problems. Wrist pain and injury is also quite frequent, including stress fractures, tendon tears, ganglion cysts, and chronic tendinitis. Elbow and shoulder problems can also be common. Due to constant jumping, running, and landing, ankle and knee injuries are also frequent. Body image problems and eating disorders are common to gymnasts.
To prevent gymnastic injuries: Training sessions should be no longer than two hours with plenty of fluids available throughout practice, and there should be at least one day of rest a week. Proper nutrition and adequate calories are essential to health and optimum performance along with prevention of stress fractures. Overall strength and conditioning should be done in addition to technical training three times weekly.
Horseback Riding
Overuse injuries include inner thigh sprains and hip and pelvic bursitis. Low back pain can occur, with possible disc injuries. Traumatic falls are the most threatening and can include head, spine, and limb injuries and fractures. Fractures to the collar bone, upper arm, elbow, and wrist and hand are most common. Asthma can also be problematic due to environmental allergies.
To prevent riding injuries: Spine and leg strength and flexibility should be optimal. Riders should incorporate weight-bearing exercises along with upper body strengthening three times weekly to protect bone health and overall health and fitness. Because of the seriousness of accidents that might occur, technique and equipment is crucial; a rider should never go without a bit to control the horse. Saddles and stirrups should fit both horse and rider properly. A helmet is essential.
Ice Hockey
Lower body injuries are most common, particularly hamstring, groin, and inner thigh sprains and tears. Knee ligament and meniscus tears and sprains can also occur, along with ankle and foot injuries. Traumatic injuries include cuts and bruises, concussions, spine injuries, shoulder separations, and fractures to the upper and lower body. Skin rashes can sometimes occur due to ill-fitting or wet, moldy padding.
To prevent hockey injuries: Inner thigh and groin stretching should be done prior to going on the ice. Overall leg and spine conditioning should be done three times weekly. Upper body strengthening should be added to promote overall fitness. Equipment including chest plates, head and mouth gear, and skates should fit properly and be allowed to air and dry out regularly.
Military Training/Obstacle Course
Due to explosive bursts of speed, climbing, cutting, and jumping, both major and minor traumatic injuries are possible. Overuse injuries occur such as march fractures (stress fractures of the metatarsals), Achilles tendinitis, and plantar fasciitis. ACL tears have been studied as occurring nearly 10 times more frequently in female military personnel than in males. Other knee, shoulder, wrist, and hand injuries can also occur.
To prevent military training and obstacle course injuries: Overall body conditioning is essential, including balance exercises, core stability, and shoulder and leg strengthening. Lower body stretching should be done daily. Technique should be optimal and special care taken when fatigued so as not to fall.
Mountain Biking
Along with common cycling injuries, wrist, elbow, and shoulder tendinitis, sprains, and stress fractures, and pelvic, hip, and knee bursitis can occur. The greatest risk of mountain biking is due to falls; collar bone fractures are most common.
To prevent mountain biking injuries: Ride within your abilities with equipment you are comfortable with. Your bike should be properly fit with brakes and gears working optimally. Helmets are essential and should fit snugly. Shoe clips should be adequate, and you should know how to easily get in and out. Riding alone is not recommended! Carrying a cell phone is an excellent idea in case of emergency.
The repetitive high-resistance movements of rowing can lead to many overuse injuries. Mid and lower back pain is frequent; rib stress fractures and disc disorders can also occur. Bursitis of the hip and pelvic areas can also occur. Forearm and wrist tendinitis, DeQuervain's tenosynovitis, and extensor tendinitis are common due to feathering (rotating) the oar. Traumatic injuries can occur from lifting the boat, or "catching a crab," in which the oar gets pulled under the boat. Cross-training can also lead to injuries, as weight training is usually strenous. Knee problems such as patellofemoral and iliotibial band syndromes can occur secondary to hill and squat training. Palm and finger blistering is frequent and can lead to infection if not properly managed.
To prevent rowing injuries: The most important conditioning exercises are spine and abdominal strengthening and wrist strengthening. Proper technique, especially initiating each stroke with the legs, is crucial to protect the back and arms from injury. Coxswain commands and stroke pace are important to prevent catching crabs. Conditioning exercises should avoid high-velocity, repetitive motions and protect the back and knees from repeated stress. Rest is important. To manage blisters, antibiotic ointments applied while sleeping helps promote quick healing.
Because rugby is a high contact sport, shoulder dislocations, sprains and instabilities, ACL tears, face and eye injuries, and collarbone, rib, and finger fractures are possible traumatic injuries. Quad and hamstring strains, hip pointers, and lower leg injuries can also occur due to both overuse and trauma during field play. As in all field sports, ankle sprains are the most frequent injuries.
To prevent rugby injuries: Rotator cuff strengthening should be done three times weekly. Stretching of the spine and legs should be done before and after play. Balance and agility drills should be done three times weekly to prevent knee and ankle injuries. The playing field should be well maintained so the surface is even.

Omidyar Joins Punahou Board of Trustees
By barton808 on Jun 06, 2007
You may have missed it, but a couple of weeks ago eBay founder and chairman Pierre Omidyar was elected to Punahou School's board of directors. I didnt know Pierre at school but it sounds like the 8th and 9th grade years he spent there made a big impression on him. On the board he joins another high tech superstar Steve Case, also a former Punahou student (and who lived down the street from me on Hunakai when I was little; we also went to the same college -- I have obviously done more with my life than he has).
is actually a pretty special place. It is a private, co-educational
school that was founded in 1841 by Yale missionaries and goes from
Kindergarten to 12th grade. Its on a beautiful 76 acres right at the beginning of the lush Manoa valley and when you are in high school, you get to hang out between classes on the lawn under the palm trees.
Here is a list of some Punahou students you may have heard of:
- Dr. Sun Yat Sen - Father of modern china
- Kelly Preston - Actress
- Barack (Barry) Obama - Senator from Illinois and candidate for president
- Steve Case - Former Chairman of AOL-Time-Warner
- Pierre Omidyar - Founder and Chairman of eBay
- Michelle Wie - Professional golfer
- Mosi Tatupu - NFL running back
- Barton George - Author of this blog :)

It's a good deal... just wish they were Metric.
EDIT: The closest I've found in quality and price is from Northern Tool.
I have the deep wells from this set. They have the easy-read numbers (which is awesome btw) and don't seem to be cheap material that rounds out over time. Limited Lifetime Warranty same as Craftsman. Just trying to help anyone interested...
Free Pick Up!!! No way!!!
@firebirdude: I tried to find the same set in metric, but had no luck; peculiar. Personally I would want it in metric, 6 point. I've rounded far too many bolt heads with 12 point sockets.
Not seeing any free pickup for these. Only says it's available for shipping.
Worth noting these are made in the USA and not the Chinese stuff they have been switching to lately.
@bdoug399: If free in-store is not available to you then they must be sold out in your local store. Try changing your "home store" and see if the in store pick up option becomes available.
And its available for gift wrap!
@lparsons42: Exactly. See if you have a Northern Tool near you. Buy online and pick up in store.
@jimmyd103: Nope. Only available for shipping no matter what my location is set to. Even when there are none available at any of the nearby stores, I still get the option for in-store pickup shown for other items.
Just chatted with a customer service rep. This item is not available for in-store pickup and shipping is around $6.50.
not bad for some lifetime warranty sockets!
@pinfar: Good to know. Free shipping over $49 though.
I'd definitely hop on this if I needed them. I just picked up a set last fall & won't need new ones unless I lose this set.
@firebirdude: The main thing I don't like about Northern Tool is that most of the tools they sell are made in China. Might as well be buying from Wally World or Harbor Freight.
Of course, we all know that Sears is selling a lot of Craftsman-branded items that are themselves made in China. Thankfully at least at the moment the hand tools are still USA-made. Things like floor jacks are often through China, power tools through any of a number of places, and without checking the label the rest could be anywhere.
@lparsons42, There's more than a few Craftsman hand tools made in China now. I have several pairs of pliers, a pair of wire cutters, and two 'dogbone' wrenches that were made over there. I snapped one pair of Craftsman branded chinese made-wire cutters trying to cut a usb cord, and one of the 'dogbone' wrenches will break or strip the bolt the first time I try to use it, as one of the ends wasn't completely welded.
They will still do the replacement on those tools, but why would I buy chinese-made Craftsman tools at the higher price when Harbor Freight tools have the same warranty and are cheaper?
Woot! update the info. NO FREE PICKUP
I just wish the item description (in the OP) would tell me how many contact points these have.
...he said sarcastically.
Install the coupon printer? No thanks, I have a printer.
Man, either give me the coupon or don't, but don't make me install your stupid app to do it.
Who needs or wants dental floss that badly?
@anthgothlz: I think you're bitching in the wrong thread
I am pretty sure that 6pt socket will round a nut before a 12pt??
@jimmyd103: Fine print on the web page says, "Online Only"
I don't think out of stock is the reason this time.
The price still intermittently shows $13.49, but when you get to checkout it goes up to normal price
Dead =-(

Canola power: Lee farm finds a niche bottling its oil, and finds a host of other uses, too
Canola is a member of the mustard family, and the leafy green plant produces an abundance of tiny black seeds that serve a wide variety of purposes. The higher quality seeds are collected by Hutton and his staff, sorted, cleaned and pressed into canola oil - a light, golden oil that can be used for cooking, for salad dressings, or even, as Hutton's wife Carol discovered, as a perfect topping for popcorn instead of butter.
Using a pair of machines, one to press the seeds, and the other to filter the oil, Hutton said, he's able to produce 50 to 65 gallons of oil in less than an hour. Once the oil is processed, Hutton and his staff bottle it, and off it goes to farmers markets and the public.
"It's a very good oil, full of Omega-3 fatty acids," said Meghan Boucher, who came to help out on the farm one summer and never left. "It's good for you, and it tastes good."
But the job of the canola plant and its seeds doesn't stop with cooking oil, Hutton said. Canola is planted in the fall and serves as an excellent ground cover that chokes out weeds and adds nutrients to the soil. Then, as soon as it gets warm in the spring, it starts growing again in earnest to prepare for the summer harvest.
"The only problem with that is the deer love it, and once they find it, you can't get rid of them," he said.
Though only the best seed becomes cooking oil, the rest is converted into biodiesel which fuels tractors and machines around the farm. And after the seeds are pressed, what's left are little pellets of spent seed that are loaded with protein and loved by farm animals, said Hutton.
"The sheep jump at it like dolphins," said Hutton. "They fight to get it."
Even the straw left over in July after the plant is harvested makes for perfect bedding.
"Everything that grows you can use," he said.
Getting started in canola oil production required some serious start-up costs that Hutton and family had to raise. The machinery alone cost $15,000. But with a pay-off expected in three years, he said, the up-front costs were worth it. Currently, Hutton is selling the cooking oil for $5 per bottle, and his customers keep coming back for more.
Hutton said he'd like to add to the seven acres currently growing canola (corn his other big crop) but also diversify by growing sunflowers and even soybeans. He's working with other farmers pressing their seeds as well.
"Ultimately, we'd like to have the operation set up so people can come and see what we're doing," he said. A barn on the property is being eyed for renovation that will allow for a room for pressing and a farm store.

I've found the personal productivity methods and techniques I use (such as GTD and Inbox Zero) to be hugely helpful, but I've always struggled with good ways to introduce them to other people.
Some people will seek new information out: they'll see you collecting actions or catch a glance of an empty inbox and actively seek out more information. Obviously those type of folks are easy to share with because they initiate the dialogue. People you're very close to are also easy because there's a relationship of trust and a history of healthy communication.
What's trickier is how to share with someone more passive. You think they would be interested, but you don't want to offend them or turn them off to the whole thing if they resent your approach as an implication that they're not productive now (kind of like offering someone a mint right after you've started a conversation, but taken more personally).
How do I introduce someone to personal productivity methods in a non pushy way so that it's not likely to be taken as critical, but instead taken in the spirit of sharing things that someone might find useful?

The exclusive Chandos artist Jean-Efflam Bavouzet is a master of this repertoire. This is his second concerto recording for the label, after his survey of the complete piano concertos by Bartók (CHAN 10610) which was released in September to high acclaim and voted 'Orchestral Choice of the Month' by the magazine BBC Music. Bavouzet's complete recording of the piano music by Debussy also scooped awards from BBC Music and Gramophone, which wrote: 'This could well be the finest and most challenging of all Debussy piano cycles.'
On this new release, Bavouzet is accompanied by the BBC Symphony Orchestra and Yan Pascal Tortelier, a conductor steeped in the French tradition and utterly at home in this repertoire. The result is a totally idiomatic performance of these French masterpieces for piano and orchestra.
Ravel's light and brilliant Piano Concerto in G major is the intriguing result of a merging of classical models with the idioms and harmonies found in the popular jazz music of his day. At the time of composing this concerto, Ravel had just returned from his travels in the USA and the work is heavily influenced by the jazz music that he encountered there. However, in the second movement Mozart takes precedence, the piano's theme closely modelled on the slow movement of his Clarinet Quintet; and Saint-Saëns's sparkling semi-quavers fill the finale. The first performance of this work, given by Marguerite Long in Paris, was a great success, as was the European tour that followed. Another central piece is Ravel's Piano Concerto for the Left Hand. The work was commissioned by Paul Wittgenstein, a concert pianist who had lost his right arm during the First World War. Although at first Wittgenstein did not take to its jazz-influenced rhythms and harmonies, he grew to like the piece. Speaking of the Concerto, Ravel said that he had been determined to make it sound 'no thinner' than one for both hands and noted that in the middle of the piece 'innumerable rhythmic patterns are introduced which become increasingly compact' and that 'this pulsation increases in intensity and frequency' before the various elements 'contend with one another until they are brusquely interrupted by a brutal conclusion'.
Also featured on this disc is Debussy's Fantaisie for Piano and Orchestra. Debussy was a highly self-critical composer and disowned or withdrew several of his early works; this piece was one of them. It was composed in 1889 – 90, and its premiere was scheduled, under Vincent d'Indy, almost as soon as the score was completed, but withdrawn by Debussy just as it was being put into rehearsal. The first performance did not take place until after Debussy's death in 1918. Although the Fantaisie is the lone piano concerto by a composer regarded as one of the greatest among those who wrote for the piano, it remains one of Debussy's least frequently performed works even now. The work shows the influences of Fauré and Franck, and the piano does not figure as a solo instrument in the conventional concerto sense
but rather as an equal partner with the orchestra, although the conventional three movements are still present.
Completing the disc in a unique manner are six pieces for solo piano by Massenet. Most famous for his operas and suites for orchestra, Massenet wrote a quantity of very charming piano pieces, of which Jean-Efflam Bavouzet has selected some of the best. The music is typical of its composer – highly tuneful, richly textured, and utterly compelling – and conjures an atmosphere which only a Frenchman could achieve.
"This is simply one of the finest records of French piano in the catalogue."
The Pengiun Guide – 1000 Greatest Classical Recordings 2011-12
Winner of the Concerto Section of the Gramophone Awards 2011
"...Wonderful playing and excellent orchestral accompaniments."
Graham Rickson
"…Bavouzet is at his eloquent best in the slower movements." Bavouzet plays all the music exquisitely. Never lacking power , his pianism is also elegant and feather light. The orchestra handles the concerti superbly and Tortelier conducts with style and authority."
"…Debussy's little known Fantaisie for piano and orchestra is well worth hearing in Bavouzet's thoughtful, idiomatic reading, and he uncovers a handful of piano solos by Massenet, the pick of which is an engaging Toccata. But the CD's raison d'etre is the Ravel. Bavouzet's G major concerto is the best since Michelangeli's 50 years ago: it has style, verve, poetry and balance…" ****
Andrew Clark
"Editor's Choice"
"…It's exceptional to have a soloist and conductor so in tune with each other in both Ravel concertos. This is a great partnership, a stunning disc and an early contender for those end-of-year awards." *****
Jeremy Nicholas
Performance ***** Recording ****
"…This is a disc of pure pleasure…"
Christopher Dingle
"Gramophone Recommends"
"An all-too rare outing for Debussy's luxuriant Fantasie makes this a must." "…The combination of all three works on a single CD creates a satisfying programme, especially when played with such finesse and limpid colouring as by Jean-Efflam Bavouzet, with Yan Pascal Tortelier and the BBC SO matching hime in taste and eloquence."
Geoffrey Norris
"The ebullient French pianist Bavouzet scales the heights in this splendid and generous CD with the BBC Symphony Orchestra …" *****

UPDATE 11:15 a.m., October 3: The third victim was identified as the driver of the crash cushion truck, Kenterrious L. Christian, 27, of Taylor, S.C. He died on the way to the hospital.
UPDATE 10:32 p.m.: Virginia State Police released the names of victims Wednesday night:
"Virginia State Police are still investigating a multi-vehicle crash that claimed the lives of three men Wednesday afternoon (Oct. 2) on Interstate 81 in Smyth County. At 3:27 p.m., Trooper W.B. Deskins was called to the scene in the southbound lanes at the 54 mile marker.
A 2009 Chevrolet pickup truck and a GMC highway crash cushion truck were traveling together southbound on Interstate 81. The pickup truck was on the right shoulder conducting a roadway inspection and the crash cushion truck was in the right lane. According to witnesses, the crash cushion truck did have its arrow activated and flashing to caution oncoming traffic of it and the pickup truck's presence.
A tanker truck loaded with 8,500 gallons of gasoline was traveling in the left southbound lane when, according to witnesses, the truck swerved and then over-corrected. The tanker's load shifted and overturned onto its side across both southbound lanes. The tanker truck slid into the pickup truck, exploded and then collided with the crash cushion truck. All three vehicles caught fire.
The driver of the tanker truck, Frank A. Skeens Jr., 48, of Castlewood, Va., died at the scene.
The driver of the pickup truck, Trevor Blankenship, 30, of Lebanon, Va., died at the scene.
The driver of the crash cushion truck died en-route to the hospital. State police are still in the process of notifying his next of kin.
The southbound lanes of I-81 are still closed at this time. VDOT is assessing the condition of the pavement due to the intensity of the explosion and subsequent fire.
The cause of the crash remains under investigation. The Virginia State Police Wytheville Division Accident Reconstruction Team is assisting with the crash investigation."
UPDATE 6:59 p.m.: Virginia State Police said a three people died in Smyth County in a crash on Interstate 81 Wednesday afternoon.
The accident happened in the southbound lane near exit 54 which is the Groseclose exit. Virginia State Police told News 5 the tanker truck was traveling in the southbound lane when the driver came up on construction vehicles and swerved. The tanker then hit the back of a moving roadblock and struck a pickup truck belonging to the construction crew.
Out of the three people killed, one victim was in the tanker, one victim was in the pickup truck and the third victim was in the rolling roadblock. Police have not released the victims' names.
Traffic is moving in the northbound lane and the southbound lanes are still closed.
The Virginia Department of Transportation said they will need to repave that section of Interstate 81 one lane at a time.
Traffic is being rerouted to Lee Highway.
UPDATE 5:05 p.m.: Three people were killed in the accident, which involved three vehicles -- a tractor-trailer, a pickup truck, and a third car.
Northbound traffic is now moving, but southbound lanes are closed just pass Exit 54 near Groseclose.
We have a crew at the scene and will bring you more details as they're available.

What's your favorite logger when creating SharePoint apps ? I'm using log4net for ex. but I want to know what other software programmers use when building all type of sharepoint apps and why ?!.
log4net if my personal choice and our company standard. very simple to use.
Mike has a good blog post here http://mikeknowles.com/blog/2009/02/17/ConfiguringLog4netForSharePointWindowsAuthentication.aspx
With ULS logs usually because:
What do you use to actually view them?
A more detailed comparison of logging approaches is on the SharePointDevWiki.com
Enterprise libraries logging! We created a small footprint addon that is simple to use. Advantages are that you can use it as instrumentation for SCOM / MOM and hence treat SharePoint like any other mission critical application. ULS logging IMO tends to be harder to find and harder to read, and does not go well with monitoring tools.
I'm using the SharePoint Logging Library http://splogginglibrary.codeplex.com/ at the moment and I'm finding it a great blend of function/flexability.
It has built in methods for logging the start and end of methods and different levels of logging. And to get started all you need to do is add an assembly/using reference and away you go.
It writes all the logs to the ULS log which from a development perspective I find is great.
Anyways saw this question and just thought I'd throw in my 2c.
I currently use ULS logging and prefer it right now. It cleans up after itself and administrators can configure how long logs are kept for through the UI. All logging relating to SharePoint is stored in one location which gives context when an error in my code is caused by a problem in the product itself. The downside is all of those log messages lumped together, but there are many "viewer" tools out there that help with this.
I've used log4net and Enterprise Library as well which were OK. They both worked pretty similarly, although EntLib was a nightmare to configure and unreliable in my experience. The big advantage with these is that you can e-mail critical errors as well as log to a database, etc. I only had problems with multiple apps logging to the same file (e.g. a web part plus a console app at the same time) where there were locking problems.
ULS logs for Server errors - for the reasons given above. It's simple, unified, and already there. Better logging would be good, though.
For client apps - it depends. Log4NET is good, though I've had some issues with in and Office plug-ins I've written.

I'm hanging a towel bar on a wall in a newly-built bathroom (part of a major remodel). I would like to avoid placing the bar at an "awkward" height, but I'm not sure what the proper height would be. Is there a "standard" height?
I believe it's 48" for a bath towel.
I just put up new towel bars in my bathroom, and my method was to hold the bar up with a towel on it and have my wife tell me if it looked right. Just to be sure, she even acted like she was drying her hands to see if it felt right too. If I remember correctly, it came out to 46". (We're both short - the next owners can either complain about it or raise it themselves.)
We have a standard floor standing heated towel rail and it is approx 36" tall.
Also the towel rail on the side of our shower enclosure is 36" from the floor.

YouTube is being reprogrammed for the iPhone and iPad amid the latest fallout from the growing hostility between Google and Apple.
The changes are being made because Google Inc. and Apple Inc. didn't renew a five-year licensing agreement that established YouTube's video service as one of the built-in applications in the operating system that runs the iPhone and iPad.
YouTube is being bumped from the menu of pre-installed apps on the next version of Apple's mobile operating system, which could be released as early as Wednesday when the latest iPhone is expected to be unveiled.
Google is making a pre-emptive strike today with the release of a revamped YouTube application in an attempt to stay connected with the tens of millions of people who own iPhones and iPads.

So I'm messing around with Natty a little, and I noticed that all the apps that would normally use the system tray (or "notification area"?) aren't displaying there. Is that a bug, or is that the way it's going to be? I heard something about Ubuntu getting rid of that feature entirely. Is there a way to add it back? I mean, I didn't really like it, either, especially when there were apps that used it unnecessarily, but I can't use CryptKeeper at all now, or easycrypt, and I don't know whether Dropbox has synced without opening Nautilus.
In versions of Ubuntu prior to 13.04 you have to whitelist the applications if you want to allow them to access the system tray.
Firstly install dconf-tools from the software center ( or by clicking here)
Then Press Alt+F2 and enter
Now navigate to Desktop -> Unity -> Panel.
Now change the value of systray-whitelist to
Note that setting this to "all" will likely lead to other bugs, as the old notification area is unmaintained, instead consider adding applications you need individually instead of just enabling everything. You can reset it to the defaults by checking out this question:
Do note that the system tray is entirely removed in 13.04 and newer and that older applications that still have not been ported need to be updated:
In Terminal, copy and paste this command
The tip comes from this website;
You can upgrade Dropbox, as in the latest builds it has an indicator on Ubuntu. For other applications, if the developers do not add indicator support for them, you can simply white-list them as Alaukik says, and also notify the developer that they need to fix the application.
To show the current systray whitelist:
To whitelist all systray indicators:
To append an application to the whitelist, substitute
Instead of changing it to 'all' I suggest adding the name of the desired application to the list. With this you avoid all kinds of problems with panel caused by the
For example drweb indicator was missing, so I tried to add the command which executes dr web antivirus into the whitelist. The value was like
The best way, and ubuntu version independent is to run dconf-editor, and find (ctrl+F) this string "systray-whitelist" (unless they change it...)
You can edit its value to simply ['all'], you can restore it by clicking "set to default" button also.
Or find out what icons you want to show, one by one and add them there.

I am looking for an axiomatic set theory that not only admits the existence of urelements/atoms (via two-sortedness or an additional unary predicate) but requires it, e.g. by an axiom like "for each set there is an equipollent set of urelements" (= "there are arbitrarily many urelements"). Any references?
Your question is equivalent to asking whether the urelements, or atoms, can form a proper class. This axiom is consistent with ZFA, but usually ZFA is introduced so as to not insist on this (and indeed, not insist on any atoms at all). I believe that many (or most) of the other standard set-theories-with-urelements also allow this.
Andreas Blass has an article here, where he investigates the connection between some theorems in homological algebra and the Axiom of Choice. In his introduction, he states:
In contrast, sometimes it is useful to have only a set of atoms, as witnessed by Eric Hall's article, which contains the following remark.
Nominal logic is based on the Frænkel-Mostowski permutation model of set theory. In particular Nominal logic has a freshness axiom that states ${\forall}x. {\exists}a \in \mathbb{A}. a \# x$, where $\mathbb{A}$ is the set of atoms and
For reference, see the work by Andrew Pitts and Murdoch Gabbay. For example "A New Approach to Abstract Syntax Involving Binders".
In the final end I found such a theory, it's called ZFCUA (= Zermelo Frankel set theory with the axiom of choice and unlimited atoms), see Faithful Representation in Set Theory with Atoms by Harvey Friedman.
The relevant axiom is #11: "There is no set consisting of all atoms."
A consequence of this axiom is, that there definitely are atoms (since the empty set is a set) and furthermore, that there are so many, that the collection of all of them is not a set but a proper class.
I don't know if this is exactly what you're looking for, but it's a theorem of NFU that $|\mathcal{P}(V)| < |V|$---which has as a corollary not only that there are atoms, but that the set of atoms is equipollent with the universe.
(A somewhat more disquieting way of putting this is that there are more atoms than there are sets.)
In "Parts of Classes" David Lewis builds a set theory on the foundation of singletons that are all urlements. He also enlarges this set theory to include mereology, by extending the notion of ∈ so as to mean "part of" when talking of ur-elements and how they are parts of each other.

Me and my party have a plan in our upcoming session, that will need some clarifications on how summoning spells can be used.
Its all about creative targeting with the Summon Monster I spell, let me give some examples :
Is it possible to :
- Spawn a Poisonous frog inside the mouth of a person while he is talking ?
- Summon so many horses within a prison cell, that the prisoner will be trampled to death ?
- Summon an electric eel twisted around the hilt of a weapon or around a door-handle ?
This is all out-of-combat usage of the spell. Im sure some GMs would say that Summon Monster should be for combat only, but it seems weak that a spell only can be cast when the spellcaster is fighting someone.
Im guessing the question can be narrowed down to : how "precise" can the spellcaster target the summoning, and would it be possible to prevent the summoning spell by interviening ? (like the example with the Poisonous frog. Can the target person "feel" the summoning spell ? and if the person closes his mouth while the spell is being cast, will this break the spell ?)

Why yes, these are photos of President Obama shaking hands with someone wearing one of our Horse Head Masks. This awesomely surreal moment occurred on Tuesday night, July 8, 2014, as the President was greeting people along the streets of downtown Denver, CO.
Proving once again that there's no telling where our Horse Head Mask might show up next, the photo above was taken by Jewel Samad and the one below by New York Times photographer Doug Mills.
Of course, it didn't take long for The Internets to react in hilarious fashion, which is how we arrive at this amazing third photo.:

Public Swimming pools are fun for summer, but they can also be breeding grounds for parasites that can make you sick. The CDC reports the number of outbreaks of illness in 1896 was only two, but in 2000 it had gone up to 21.
"I do think the pool needs to be clean. My little boy got sick at a public pool. He got strep throat last year. It's a very big concern to me," Jenny Lawyer says.
Jenny Lawyer takes her son and daughter to the pool almost every day and has for the past two years. She says it's extremely important to her, as a mother, to have the pool clean.
Lawyer says, "I'd rather it be clean. I don't mind them shutting down. We've had it shut down a couple of times and it's okay."
The biggest problem in most pools is fecal accidents. When an accident like this occurs at Russell Sims Aquatic Park they follow these precautions.
Tim Leek is the Aquatic Facility Operator at Russell Sims. He says, "The first thing we do is remove all patrons from the pool itself. We shut down all the pumps except for the filtration system. Then we locate where the fecal accident was. We remove the fecal accident put it inside bags then we super chlorinate the area with bleach water."
David Burton, of the Barren River Health Department says, "In Kentucky we do not have a specific requirement in the regulation or in the statute that says specifically you have to close a pool for a certain number of hours or minutes."
The most common illnesses associated with pools are Cryptosporidium, Giardia, Hepatitis A, and e-Coli.
Burton says, "That's on everyone's mind. That's the contaminant that created a problem in the Atlanta water park a few years ago."
The next time you go swimming, be informed. Learn more about these illnesses and how to protect yourself and your family.

Drawing fish is always a treat because they are fun animals to replicate. I wanted to have fun with this drawing because it is something that novice artists will tackle for sure. The face is friendly and the body is shaped in an easy design so when you decide that its time to start drawing a swordfish for kids, you will have an awesome time. Anyways, I don't want to ramble on about nothing so let me shut up while I'm ahead. Adios people, and enjoy!

One thing that I've heard a lot over the years is that those working in the IT world generally don't make life time careers out of it, but tend to "burn out" and start a new career doing something else unrelated (e.g. going from software development to being an accountant). Have you found this to be generally true in your experience and if so, what is the general impression on how long people work as developers before starting a new career?

I've been in software development all my working life from junior developer, through senior developer to team lead/manager and now back developing (though hoping to get back into management sooner rather than later).
My working life is now well over 25 years.
All that time I've known developers as old or older than me.
I think "burn out" happens if you try to do too much - working 12+ hour days and/or weekends for extended periods and happens in any industry not just computing. I know that if I had to do that I'd be looking for something less stressful to do.
If you find a working style that fits your temperament then there's no reason why you can't continue working until you retire at 65 (or when ever).
In my field, embedded systems, I've rarely met anyone younger than 40. At my startup we've had four different contractors at various times besides myself, and three of the four were over 50.
I'm over 60 and have no plans to retire anytime soon. (Well I might semi-retire and cut back to 40 hours a week someday.) I've been doing this type of work for nearly 40 years and it's still fun. Some days I can't believe I'm getting paid to do what I do.
I know there are some younger guys entering the field, because I've seen them post over on the Electronics and Robotics SE site. There was a question re level of electronics experience, and just about everyone that answered was doing some type of embedded work. Experience ranged from those just graduating to old-timers like myself. Many had a combination of EE and CS degrees like I do.
This is a pretty demanding career if you don't love it.
I think you see a lot of people who get into programming for the money, but when they realize how difficult it is, they quickly look to move into management.
If you don't love it, it's a pretty fast treadmill to run on.
Well, I started programming as a hobbyist in high school in 1971, and professionally in 1985, when I dropped out of a doctoral program in chemistry at 27. So that's 39 years hobbyist, and 25 professionally, and I'm 52 now.
Yeah, I tried being a manager and an entrepreneur, and I suck at both of them. So for the last ten years I've stuck strictly to programming, which I'm not only far better at but make way more money doing.
I expect to be tottering around open-source conferences and hackfests with a walker when I'm 90. For some folks, it's a profession or a career, but for me it's a calling. I'm constantly astonished people pay me (and well, too) to do something that's so much fun, and they'll pry the keyboard from my cold dead fingers.
I've found that for many colleagues that once they've started families they start thinking about new careers / getting out of IT. This is often due to the hours they are 'expected' to work and/or the mental pressure of looking after new little 'uns and trying to keep up with a fast moving industry.
I'm not necessarily agreeing with the reasoning, but that's what fireside chats at the pub are telling me.
I'm not sure what the actual numbers/percentage would be, there are still plenty of developers who stay in this career for a lifetime, and they're valuable resources in my opinion (I've been lucky to have great mentors).
In my experience this is not true, although I realize now that I do not know a lot of old developers. The oldest one I know is just over 40 years old, and he's still keeping up with new technologies.
While most of the people I know in the IT industry are in their late 20s or early 30s, I don't think this is because everyone who's older have burned out - more likely it's because the industry has grown so tremendously the last 20 years, and there has been such a need for more people that has been filled by younger people.
So for many in the IT industry there have not been enough time yet to have a lifetime career yet. Although there have been times where I have considered doing something completely different, this has just been a consequence of being close to burning out, and I'm much happier now that I've changed my working style. I'm pretty sure I will have a lifetime career in the IT industry, in some way or another.
Interestingly, the Bureau of Labor Statistics (BLS) has statistics on the number of jobs a person holds in a lifetime, but does not have any statistics on how many times a person changes careers.
They never attempted this for a couple reasons:
Regarding burnout, the Psychologist Jon Snodgrass said "Work that is not personally satisfying reflects a basic conflict you have with yourself. You may think the conflict is caused by your career, and that if you change careers, the conflict will go away. But, you cannot pick the right career without first resolving the inner conflict."
I don't know anyone who has burnt out in IT. The stories you hear are largely from people who were, shall we say, obsessed and yes people like that burn out but it's not specific to IT and it's very rare.
I know a couple of people who've gone on to do different things but generally that was because it was more appealing to them rather than anything preventing them carrying on in IT.
I've been working in IT for nearly 20 years and have no plans to stop and see no reason why I should want or need to.
The following is my personal opinion - All figures are based on my own experience and may not be scientifically correct. Observations are geographically biased.
Your observation is correct. Many people will either burn out or will have obsolete experiences within 15 years or so unless:
A) They have very good IQ and
B) Work very hard
C) Maintain an excellent track record
D) Gain marketable skills with experience
E) Have good network
The reason many leave the career may be (not an ordered list)
Well, personal experience counterpoint. I'm rapidly approaching 40 (a few months to go) and am looking for a way out of development because ... I've just had enough. I work in a great place with interesting people, but find programming itself to be frustratingly grey, drudging and uninspiring work for me. (Other people's experience, thankfully, differs!)
It is really fantastic to read the experiences of people who are lovingly engaged in the crafting of software; people for whom the work is fulfilling and inspiring. I have friends who just love development, and who relish the challenges it presents. But I am not one of those people. It's not that I can't do the work -- hell, I wouldn't have survived a dozen + years in this business if that was the case. I just don't like it.
As for me, I'm busy trying to navigate my way back into my first career (which I foolishly left when I found that (a) I could program, (b) people would willingly pay me for this, and (c) I needed to pay the rent). So I'm heading back into research science, and the warm feeling that fills me when I walk into the lab, when I talk with colleagues in that space, and when I apply my mind to the challenge of unraveling how the world works, and where I use reasoning and analytical skills (at least) as challenging as in software, tells me that this really is about different careers appealing to different temperaments.
So this "old" programmer is just busy reinventing himself and moving on :) (Even though that will mean something of a financial risk) Pax
I think it depends which industry you are working in. The nature of the working conditions in a bank say, is rather different to a .com style startup or a goverment institution even if you are doing essentially the same job. I certainly found I was far more stressed at the end of a week working at an investment bank than I was working for a DVD manufacturer even though my job was basically the same.
I did the opposite. I used to teach students with special needs and decided I was not going to be able to do that until retirement. Fortunately, I was able to stop before I burned out and have no regrets about my previous career.
There's the fear that I will be perceived as not being able to keep up(Always wonder if there are people out there smart enough to hire me ;) ) or worse discovering for myself that I can't handle the new technology.
As far as the long hours, hopefully you'll be a better programmer 10 years from now. I'm not going to beat myself up because I can do more in 8 hours than others do in 12 (I suggest they have the teacher put them in a slower reading group.). Even in IT you have to "walk through a lot of snow to get to the cabin" but the amount of B.S. in other fields is unbearable.
My father is a developer and he is 60 years old, he started at his late 20s. He is working freelance for his old company now, and he has become more of a manager, but he still enjoys developing though. I think he will continue till his death.
I am hovering with over 14 years now from graduate developer to lead developer and solution architect. I have always found projects that are no just maintenance but new development/migration in new technology and I absolutely love it. There are couple guys in my team whom we recently recruited and are 40+ years and they are up to date on new technology. But yes you have to be passionate, read voraciously, see videos, follow blogs, go to user groups and conferences to keep on with continuous learning.

I would like to ask a simple question. Let $A=\mathbb{C}\langle x_{1},\dots,x_{n} \rangle/I$, where $I$ is the two-sided ideal generated by $x_{i}x_{j}=a_{ij}x_{j}x_{i}$ for $1\le i,j\le n$. We say a $\mathbb{C}$-algebra $B$ is n Calabi-Yau if the category of left $B$-modules is a Calabi-Yau n category, i.e. $Ext_{B}^{i}(M,N)\cong Ext_{B}^{i-n}(N,M)^{*}$ for any left $B$-modules and $i \in \mathbb{Z}$. I am not sure if this is equivalent to Ginzburg's definition of CY algebra, but the above definition seems simpler and practical.
My questions is, when is the above algebra $A$ a $n$ Calabi-Yau? More precisely, what condition on $a_{ij}$s do we need, other than $a_{ij}=a_{ji}^{-1}$?
Also, if we consider bi-module category (with similar definition), are things much harder?
Thank you in advance.

5 Amazing Advances That Are About to Make Hard Work Obsolete
We know how it is. Taking entire minutes away from the important things in life (i.e., reading Cracked) to address the necessities that keep your whole world from crumbling into shambles around you ... it's a total drag, man. Well, not to worry, because the technology of the future has got your (lazy) ass covered.
Yeah, you industrious types who take great joy in doing difficult tasks -- go clean your gutters. For the rest of our lazy brethren who are still reading this, probably from bed, we're here to tell you that the future is bright. This is thanks to ...
#5. Clothes That Don't Require Laundering
Doing the laundry is one of those never-ending, pain-in-the-ass cycles that have been shitting on Sunday afternoons ever since mankind mistakenly chose garments over nudity. It's time consuming, it uses a ton of water and electricity, and it may require hanging out in a laundromat with bitter divorcees and screaming children for four hours.
So is there nothing you can do about this, science?
Every goddamn time.
Science to the Rescue
Material scientists at the Donghua University in China have developed a self-cleaning cotton fabric that eliminates stains and bacteria when it's placed in sunlight. To perform this convenient magic trick, the clothing is covered in a coating comprised of titanium dioxide and nitrogen. Titanium dioxide has long been used in products such as self-cleaning windows and odor-free socks because of its remarkable ability to break down dirt and kick microbes right in their microbial junk.
Hang them outside and you have yourself a microbe bug zapper.
Unfortunately, this method tends to only work in intense ultraviolet light, which is completely impractical for an application involving everyday clothing. To combat this glaring issue, the researchers infused the coating with nitrogen, slapped on some silver iodide nanoparticles, and told the ultraviolet spectrum to get fucked. What we're left with is ultra-sunlight-sensitive clothing that lets you leave the house looking like a filthy hobo (or, well, your average college student) and arrive at that job interview looking like the perfect candidate.
Of course, that lasts only as long as you can avoid spilling burrito juice all over your pants. That is, unless you're wearing clothing developed by the sorcerers at Ross Nanotechnology, who've created a substance called NeverWet that does this:
In case you missed it, that video shows them dumping chocolate all over a white canvas shoe, only to have it roll cleanly off like criminal charges on a banker. That's right: These guys have created a magic potion that repels anything that even thinks about leaving a stain.
To take this to its obvious conclusion: Yes, your dreams of bathing in barbecue sauce and beer without having to so much as bust out the Stain Stick are about to come true. And that's good, because somebody who is constantly spilling food on himself is surely too busy with high-power business meetings to be doing laundry.
"I ate a shoe."
#4. Beds That Make Themselves
You don't even have to be lazy to understand why everyone hates making the bed -- it seems like such a waste of time to straighten up something that's inevitably going to get messy again during the three or four naps we take each day. Yet if company shows up, we feel like pigs for letting them see the sheets wadded up in a knot on the bed. The whole system is bullshit.
Science to the Rescue
Enter OHEA, a company that has even more to offer than a logo that looks like an Atari-era rendering of a dong (as if that weren't enough):
Via Ohea.eu
Blip. Blip. Beep boop.
We present to you the OHEA Smart Bed, the future of fooling everyone into believing that you aren't a lazy slob.
After watching that little girl flail around like a seizure victim for a bit (which is actually a toned-down depiction of an 8-year-old's sleep habits), you'll see that the Smart Bed is the first slumber box that automatically makes itself when you get up in the morning. Three seconds after you get out of the bed, a lid on either side of it opens to reveal a mechanical arm with rollers. After positioning the duvet, the unit pulls it up to the head of the bed and the rollers go back into hiding within the bed frame. At the same time, cords attached to the pillows at the head of the bed lift the pillows up, allowing them to hover above the surface until the coverlet is stretched into position. The pillows are then lowered back onto the bed, leaving you with a perfectly manicured masturbation pad.
We still aren't sure how all these cords and rollers and mechanical arms manage to not strangle you to death in the middle of the night, and we're fully expecting to see this scenario play out in the next installment of Final Destination. But hey, two extra minutes of sleep!
"That's two extra minutes the entire world can just lick my asshole."
#3. Gum That Brushes Your Teeth
As you may or may not be aware, clean teeth are pretty much a requirement for most forms of face-to-face communication beyond hurling rocks and grunting. Unfortunately, the main method for obtaining clean teeth has some serious flaws: It's boring, it's repetitive, and (worst of all) it requires you to get up from the couch and move one of your arms a bit. Thankfully, there's a solution on the way, and it lies within the magic of modern military technology.
No, it's not a scary military guy screaming at you to get up off of your lazy ass and brush your goddamn teeth.
Science to the Rescue
Researchers in the U.S. Army Dental and Trauma Research Detachment have made several important contributions to the world of science. For one thing, they've proven conclusively that America does in fact have a military version of everything. Arguably more importantly, in order to combat "Mountain Dew mouth" -- a widespread problem in America's military thanks to deployed soldiers guzzling a constant stream of soda and then not having sufficient means to scrape the resulting toxic nastiness off of their pearly whites -- they've devised a chewable gum with the potential to replace the need for brushing teeth.
"When this bad boy pops, consider my lips and nose brushed, baby!"
There's essentially nothing to it: You just pop the gum into your mouth and let it work its magic. The gum -- awesomely dubbed "combat gum" -- is the product of 10 years of development, and Army researchers are hopeful that it will one day be distributed worldwide. It works by mimicking the action of brushing with toothpaste, allowing a respite from the tedium of brushing for "at least a couple of days," or what the more lazily inclined among us might refer to as "a veritable wealth of The Fresh Prince of Bel-Air reruns." The active ingredient is a protein that targets plaque- and infection-causing bacteria, breaking them down and leaving your teeth sparkling and gorgeous.
Or, you know, at least slightly less repulsive.
"Dear lord, you have the teeth of an infantryman."

I am wondering if there is a way to determine where a point is if I only know the slope and $y$-intercept.
For example, say I am told that the line has a slope of $3$ and a $y$-intercept of $-3$. How would I know how exactly to plot or draw the line? (Hope this makes sense).

David Price returning to the ring will take on Dereck Chisora later this month
It is believed that the heavy-weight champion David Price will be returning to the ring in Berlin on March 29 where he will take on Czech Ondrej Pala.
After having faced the two-high profile losses, lately with Tony Thompson last year, the champion is upgrading his career- and now being promoted by Sauerland.
During the first round of his comeback fight in January, Istvan Ruzsinszky was knocked out by him, nevertheless Pala could afford a step up bringing a 33-4 record.
Working with American trainer Tommy Brooks, price has said that "This is the sort of fight I could do with," "Pala is a guy who isn't afraid to come forward and trade. We saw this when he fought Chisora. "Now it's my turn. I'm in great shape. Everything has been going really well in the gym with Tommy. I am looking forward to getting in there and exchanging blows with this guy. I am confident that on March 29th I am going to get the job done."

What is the learning curve like for learning Japanese writing?
Are you able to use what you've learnt as you're progressing, or are you only realistically able to start reading real text once you've learnt about two or three thousand kanji?
Related question: What are the advantages/disadvantages of writing in romaji instead of kanji, hiragana, and so on? has a few answers on the merits of learning Japanese writing.
Edit: By "real text", I meant text you'd encounter in real life, not learning text that has had its grammar artificially dumbed down. As an example of "dumbing down", I've heard that texts deliberately made up entirely of kana is only for children too young to know the kanji. By contrast, signs and menus, even if they're not literary masterpieces, haven't had their grammar artificially changed. Would learning the kana be enough to identify a few gairaigo items in a fast food restaurant menu, for example?
