I'm running Sparrow mail client and would love to disable Mail.app, which keeps opening from time to time.
You could try selecting the Mail icon in the Applications folder, select Get Info (⌘I), and under permissions, set Everyone to no access. That should prevent the program from launching.
From Apple Support, the steps to switch to a different mail reader are:
This article also provides instructions to change the default mail app by editing the appropriate plist configuration.
To change the default email application, use Webmailer. This Apple.SE post has several answers that discuss the use of this utility.
I think you can uninstall the mail app using [CleanMyMac. I did this on an older version of OSX without any problems afterwards.

Faber's perfect pairing conjecture states that the tautological ring $R^*$ of the moduli space $\mathcal{M}_g$ of curves of genus $g$ behaves as if it were the rational cohomology of a closed, oriented manifold of dimension $g-2$. Specifically, $R^{g-2}$ is rank one, and multiplication into this degree gives a perfect pairing between $R^k$ and $R^{g-2-k}$.
My understanding is that it is known (through work of Looijenga, Faber, and Pandharipande) that $R^{g-2} = \mathbb{Q}$, but the perfect pairing part hasn't been proven (though it has been verified in low genus cases). I'd like to know:
Why might Faber have conjectured this to be the case? What is it about $R^*$ that suggests that it might satisfy Poincare duality?
If true, what sort of applications does this have (to our understanding of $\mathcal{M}_g$, for instance)?

Integration with Appcelerator Titanium
By Eric Jensen on Apr 30, 2013
Today Appcelerator released a module for the popular Titanium development environment that enables integration with Oracle Database Mobile Server. We're excited about this, because Titanium is a great product. We already have customers using them together, and only hear good things. These enterprising (pun intended) folks figured out on their own how to get the two working with each other. You can see an example written up in this blog. Anand was actually the first person to get Oracle DMS working with Titanium!
Thanks to this module, he definitely will not be the last. Now that the module is available, it's easier than ever to develop disconnected mode applications using Oracle Database Mobile Server and Appcelerator Titanium.
If you're not familiar with Appcelerator Titanium, it's a development environment that allows you to create apps for multiple different types mobile devices from a single JavaScript codebase. This approach saves both time and money, in that you're not recreating the same app from scratch multiple times, therefore you don't need large development teams dedicated to every type of mobile device you want to support. Many organizations find this approach vastly preferable to attempting parallel development projects in java, objective C, .NET etc. You can learn more about Titanium and also download it from the product page.
There is a press release, and you can download the module here.
Update: for any newcomers here's the link to Oracle Database Mobile Server. It is also freely available for evaluation, testing, demos etc.
I encourage you to give it a try!

Meat trucks making the rounds
August 17, 2013
BROOKSIDE — Brookside and other Belmont County residents beware: Buying meat from the back of a pickup truck could be hazardous to your health if the seller isn't licensed....
I bought from one of these type trucks once. The meat although resembling beef certainly didn't taste like beef. You may be getting horse meat or worse. Buyer beware indeed! I won't be fooled again.

THE PARTY Voices for Children hosted an M Missoni fashion luncheon at the Rancho Santa Fe home of board member Holly Ellison. THE SCENE On a hot and sunny afternoon, the ladies scoured the racks of M Missoni's fall collection, which included '60s-inspired shift dresses and hip-hugging, zigzag knit classics. Coveted clutches were also on offer as statement pieces. We have a hunch we'll spy some of that arm candy at Starry Starry Night, the charity's annual gala, held at Rancho Valencia. THE HIGHLIGHTS Over a lunch by Jeffrey Strauss of Pamplemousse Grille, guests enjoyed a fashion show with models strutting their knitted stuff by the pool. A percentage of proceeds benefited Voices for Children, which provides court-appointed volunteers to more than 300 foster children in San Diego. Photography by Tim Hardy, shotbyhardy.com

I am newbie for Krusader, always work with Total Commander. So is possible to add like in Total Commander custom icons and command to execution in Krusader? I would like configure something like my working environment - with shortcuts, script to execute etc. Or I should choose another file manager? Thanks.
If you mean what I think you mean then yes, that is possible
In Useractions > Manage User Action you hit Create new useraction. Here you can configure your shortcut to Eclipse. You'll need at least Identifier, Title (eg. Eclipse) and Command (eg. /opt/eclipse/eclipse). If you need to, you can also change the Advanced Properties of the shortcut to change its behaviour depending what you are doing in your file panes (for instance, only working when you have an Eclipse project file selected).
Next, in Settings > Configure Toolbars with the Main Toolbar selected simply add your new shortcut to where you need it to be on your toolbar.
You can configure as many User Actions as you like.
e2a - Don't forget to add an icon to your User Action so you can see it in your toolbar. The one that comes with Eclipse (eg. /opt/eclipse/icon.xpm) should do you fine.

I have Sanguinare Vampiris. I don't really want to become a vampire. How can I cure myself?
There is a great walkthrough on how to cure Vampirism on Gamefront.
Here's the list, distilled:
Since it sounds like you're a Stage 4 vampire, you should feed so that you're no longer stage 4. To do this:
Once you have contracted vampirism (e.g., gone beyond Day 4), you need to do the following:
With a filled Black Soul Gem, return to Falion and talk to him to complete the ritual.
If you're fast, you can chug a Cure Disease potion or pray at a shrine.
Once Vampirism has set in however, you only have two options:
You can become a Werewolf.
If you harass enough bartenders for rumors, they will tell you about a fellow named Falion in Morthal who is working on a cure. He'll want Black Soul Gems though, so it won't be cheap or easy!
In Dawnstar I think next to the mine there is a hidden chest (under ground) which when you look at you can open, it is FULL of goodies, which you can sell. One of them is a weapon which when you kill someone with it it actually fills the soul gem for you, a quick short cut. The vampirism is very annoying.
One other thing, when you go to be cured, make sure you have fed on blood before hand otherwise he won't cure you and will instead fight you. Best go to a farm wait to dark, take off your armour and sneek in whislt they are asleep

A few days ago Teresa asked if there was any way to make the seitan in the chicken wingz a little less chewy (or did she say rubbery?). Then, Happy Herbivore dubbed me the Seitan King (which sounds vaguely evil). Then, a reader from the UK mentioned that she could not get vital wheat gluten anywhere. All of this to say that I have been messing around with an old school seitan--one made by kneading dough in water to release the starch. I am trying to create a seitan that is tender but also white like chicken to sway even the most die-hard omnivore (you may know some of these). Above is a trial run of the new seitan made into a sweet and sticky chicken wing. It was pretty good. I think the recipe would also make good chick'n strips (say goodbye to Yves). More to come later.

Keep up the good work! This new version looks delicious. I'm looking forward to the recipe. BTW...it was 'rubbery' and 'bouncy'. The next day the leftovers seemed to be a little better.
I'd love to try what you have in store next. I've puttered with vital wheat gluten several times but only made the old school type from flour in the water once myself (which actually came okay). Once you're done at the sink, all you have left is a tasteless glob of gluten. The only thing I'm wondering about with this method is how to get flavor in it other than boiling it in flavored water. You can throw all sorts of ingredients in the vital wheat gluten method, and you can cook it other ways, too.
Thankfully, Vegan Dad doesn't keep any secrets up his sleeve!!!
Looking forward to your next post.

I'm enjoying reading your blog. I recently decided to move in the direction of vegetarian meals for my family. We're about 60/40 at present (60% of the meals I serve are vegetarian) and I hope to increase this as far as they will go with me. Hopefully, 100%. As for myself, I am interested in vegan as well. At age 43, it's a big change. But for me, not that difficult (with the exception of cheese, I'm not a huge fan of dairy). Trying to get our kids to enjoy vegetarian or vegan meals is the ultimate challenge. I'll be checking in for ideas to that end.

Wow, these look great. I have to say, you have way more kitchen patience than I do. I tried making seitan the original way just once and vowed I would never make it like that again (but I think I went wrong somewhere, I had a goopy sloppy mess of blech :P)

After these comments, I may have to shelve the old school seitan. I admit, wheat gluten flour does make life easier.

ok, these look really really good. I am going to have to add a few more items to my shopping list and try this. I LOVE hot wings and if I can find a veggie alternative the better for me and my family.
Thanks so much for sharing this!

I didn't mean to shy you away from a new adventure for you.
I'm curious...the old school gluten wingz that you posted here, how did you cook them? Did you boil little balls first and then skewer them? If so, how'd you get the crumbs to stick on? I'd love to know since you may never attempt it again...

looks yum!
for your UK reader and everybody who can't buy vital wheat gluten- you can find it in most vegan online shops in Europe, but the easiest- and cheapest way- is to find a nice and good bakery and ask for the stuff.
They use it in enormous amounts and a happy to sell you a kilo or two.

Woo hoo! Thanks for rising to the challenge - I'll keep looking out for the update.

Hi - I've only just discovered your blog and it is so amazing! My husband and I are going to tune in every day. Your meals look so fantastic. I noticed that you mentioned a UK reader who can't get vital wheat gluten in the UK - indeed it is unheard of! I live in the UK, and it is so frustrating, gluten doesn't exist anywhere - what my husband and I do (bizarrely) is when we visit family in Canada (Ontario) which we do about once a year, we buy lots and bring it back with us in our luggage! Though a bit scary as it does look like it could be something else... Anyway, I recently came across a website that said you could get gluten in the UK from this shop, they call it 'gluten powder': http://www.flourbin.com/cgi-bin/psProdSrch.cgi?mode=user&transid=%7Etransid%7E&search_text=gluten+powder&formCategory=All
I've not ordered any yet, but I will be soon. Keep up the amazing work!

The UK, as in Australia where I am, might market vital wheat gluten as gluten flour. For all your recipes, and for my own seitan recipes, I use gluten flour and achieve the same results. I imagine it's the same product.
Perhaps you could pass this on or make a post about it, there might be hoards of vegans outside North America who keep looking for vital wheat gluten and are continually disappointed.

I'm looking for a very solid, ideally Web 2.0 Help Desk software for my IT service company.
I've looked at various options, including Help Spot & Zendesk, however none of them really 'tick' the boxes.
Ideally I'm looking for something that doesn't require the users to signup, they can simply email our support email address and it goes into our help desk. I would like support managers to receive email notifications when they get support requests, and our normal support stuff can simply view it from the help desk.
Ideally taking into account SLA's would be great along with being able to prioritise requests from specific clients/domains.
Once someone has accepted a ticket, it would be great if they could respond via email, likewise for the customer.
Reporting & Statistics is important for us, we need to know how long it takes for us to respond to support reqests, number of requests received etc.
We don't require Knowledge bases or forums, just an easy to use support desk.
Any suggestions would be welcomed!!

Asian countries, the biggest buyers of seaborne LNG, sometimes pay five or six times more for the deep-chilled gas than do consumers of piped gas in North America, where prices have plunged due to growing availability on the back of a boom in production of the fuel from shale deposits.
By MARI IWATA
Japan and India agreed Monday to set up a
multilateral group of liquefied natural gas buyers to push for
lower prices for the fuel, and they plan to ask other importers
to join them.
Asian countries, the biggest buyers of seaborne LNG,
sometimes pay five or six times more for the deep-chilled gas
than do consumers of piped gas in North America, where prices
have plunged due to growing availability on the back of a boom
in production of the fuel from shale deposits.
In some cases, heavy energy import bills in Asia are being
further inflated as a result of weakening currencies.
"LNG prices in Asia are substantially higher than those of
other major consuming regions such as Europe and North America," the two
countries said in a joint statement signed by Japan's Minister
of Economy, Trade and Industry Toshimitsu Motegi and India's Minister for Petroleum and
Natural Gas Veerappa Moily in Tokyo.
"Many contracts include inflexible conditions such as
destination clauses," and "it is essential to review current
business practices that would hinder market liquidity," the two
ministers said.
They plan to ask fellow importers, such as South Korea and
Singapore, at an LNG conference being held in Tokyo on Tuesday
to join the new grouping. The conference will also include
senior officials from producer countries including Australia,
Indonesia, Qatar and Nigeria.
Most LNG sold in Asia is bought under long-term contracts
linked to crude-oil prices. Oil-linked prices have stayed much
higher than piped-gas prices in recent years, and Japan has
been prominent among countries calling for more flexible and
spot-based pricing, possibly linked to US gas prices.
Several Asian countries have already agreed to import LNG from
North America, and deliveries could start within two years.
The main gas exporters already have their own association,
the Gas Exporting Countries Forum, which includes Qatar and
Russia among its members, although it has up to now acted
mostly as a discussion group.
However in July, Russian President Vladimir Putin urged the
group's 13 members to join forces and defend traditional
long-term oil-linked gas contracts in the face of the growing
popularity of spot-market pricing.
Speaking at a meeting of the organization, Mr. Putin said
forsaking the oil-linked pricing system "may undermine the
energy security of gas importers."
Mr. Putin said in a reference to booming North American
shale gas output that the increased supply is "not a reason for
rejecting long-term contracts, or take-or-pay principles."
LNG prices have soared in Asia this summer, and utilities in
South Korea and Japan increased purchases due to unusually high
temperatures, rising above $18/MMBtu compared with around
$3/MMBtu in North America.
India in particular is under pressure, as the slide in the
value of the rupee has caused a big rise in the cost of its
dollar-denominated energy imports. In late August, India's oil
minister said that Prime Minister Manmohan Singh had asked him
to work out a plan to cut the oil import bill by $25
"[Asian] LNG prices are roughly 30% higher than North
American gas prices even after factoring in the costs of
liquefaction and transportation," said Hiromichi Moriyama,
director of the industry ministry's International Energy
Strategy department.
Japan is the world's largest LNG buyer, with its imports
having risen over the past two years due to the Fukushima
Daiichi disaster in March 2011, which resulted in the closure
of most of its nuclear reactors. India is ramping up LNG purchases to
help meet its own energy shortfall.
"North American projects will start shipping LNG as
early as 2015. If their prices are lower, we may not buy
expensive LNG," said Ryo Minami, who heads up the oil and
natural gas department at the industry ministry.

WACO (February 3, 2013)--Since their inception, credit cards have made buying things at stores and online easier for consumers all over the world.
But you'd be shocked to hear just how easy it is for someone to steal your credit card information without ever touching your wallet.
You've probably noticed how "paying" with a credit card has evolved over the years. Many still swipe their card, but a handful of consumers who own RFID credit cards merely just "wave" their card over a reader to pay for things.
RFID is short for Radio Frequency Identification. An RFID chip is placed inside certain credit cards and can contain either financial or personal information.
The technology allows you to "pay on the go," but could leave you open to electronic pickpocketing according to consumer advocate Walt Augustinowicz.
"Anybody can buy an RFID card reader off of the internet. It's all too easy to create malware that can read any RFID credit card and obtain anyone's credit card information," Augustinowicz said.
Augustinowicz runs Identity Stronghold. It's a business that provides protective wallets, purses, and credit card shields to consumers with RFID credit cards.
Identity Stronghold and Augustinowicz fashioned an RFID card reader to a battery and placed it inside a leather binder. With the binder, they could practically obtain any RFID credit card information they please.
"We could walk through a large crowd and this binder would read any RFID credit card," Augustinowicz said.
"All we have to do is just touch the binder to your wallet or to your purse. You'd probably never even notice it in a crowded area."
Augustinowicz demonstrated to News 10 via Skype how his contraption worked. After scanning an RFID card, the card's number and information were immediately sent to Augustinowicz's phone.
"Thieves are looking for the easiest route to take, and this is almost impossible to detect from a law enforcement standpoint," Augustinowicz said.
But Augustinowicz says thieves can also get to your money through mobile phone apps.
"We recently made a tic-tac-toe app on a phone and dropped a small piece of code into the game," Augustinowicz said.
"When people download it, their phone would start looking for credit and debit card information to scan so they could e-mail the data to a source."
M.R. "Bubba" Colyer of the McLennan County Sheriff's Office Criminal Investigation Division, has seen credit card fraud evolve over the years.
He says often the victim doesn't know until their bill comes. He can't elaborate on specific cases, but a recent one caught his eye.
"The suspects were able to get a victims credit card number, and before the victim even realized it, there had been $26,000 worth of charges on it," Colyer said.
Augustinowicz is trying to get the word out so consumers can be aware.
"This is going to be huge. There's literally going to be millions of people who will get ripped off because of this," Augustinowicz said.
Augustinowicz says the cheapest way to protect yourself from RFID credit card fraud is to wrap your card in tin foil.

Health & Pregnancy
Preterm Birth Rates and Infant Death Rates Drop
July 13, 2012 -- The U.S. preterm birth rate dropped for the fourth year in a row, according to a new federal report.
In 2010, 12% of infants were born before 37 weeks, down from 12.8% in 2006.
Babies born too early are at higher risk for many long-term health and developmental problems. This decline was primarily seen among infants delivered late preterm or between 34 to 36 weeks of pregnancy.
The study also showed that fewer infants are dying within their first year of life. This rate decreased from 6.4 per 1,000 births in 2009 to 6.1 per 1,000 births in 2010.
While the report, "America's Children in Brief: Key National Indicators of Well-Being, 2012," does show some progress in key measures of health, significant challenges still exist.
According to the data, almost 10% of children ages 0 to 17 in the U.S. had asthma in 2010, and about 20% of children aged 6 to 17 were obese. The obesity rates have remained unchanged since 2001-2002.
"It's a mixed picture," says Alan E. Guttmacher, MD. He is the director of the Eunice Kennedy Shriver National Institute of Child Health and Human Development in Bethesda, Md. "Rates of preterm birth and infant mortality are going down and that is wonderful news, but these rates are still higher than we would like it to be," he tells WebMD. "Childhood obesity and childhood asthma continue to be major problems, and we would like to see more gains there for sure."
Report Shows Some Positive Trends
The report was compiled by the Federal Interagency Forum on Child and Family Statistics, a group of 22 federal agencies. Most of the data have been previously reported elsewhere.
According to the new report:
- The teen birth rate continues to decline, decreasing from almost 20 per 1,000 girls ages 15 to 17 in 2009 to 17 per 1,000 in 2010.
- Births to single women aged 15 to 44 fell from 2009 to 2010.
- 7.3 million children did not have health insurance at least once in 2010.
- In 2010, 5% of children aged 0 to 17 had no usual source of health care.

Margo's Story
September 28, 2011
This video is really good! I found it on the Arthritis Foundation's Facebook page.
I gave up playing the piano (I had taken lessons for nine years) 14 years ago when I was diagnosed with RA. This girl is amazing – maybe there's hope I can play again too?

Incredible story. I have scleroderma and RA, and I didn't know chemo was an option until now. Very interesting, thank you.

iCloud has duplicated my bookmarks and bookmark folders many times. Now I cleaned all the bookmarks on my Mac but iCloud keeps syncing the old data and the deleted bookmarks reappear. On the icloud.com website, I found no way to reset the bookmarks. The iCloud pref pane doesn't offer any help either. Did I miss something?
According to this detailed Apple Support Forum post the trick is to use Lion 10.7.2 and Safari 5.1.1 to force a flush of the Data.
Simplified steps:
It's laborious, but I am fairly certain Apple will release better tools for this process. Considering there normal rollout, they are probably handling these issues in phases. They introduced Photo Stream reset mid way in the Beta, so I am sure they will bring the rest through over time.
The above method is nice; however, it won't help if you have 1000s of duplicates like I do. I wrote an Automator script that simulated the deletion of each book and then ran it.
Luckily I just finished doing this after reading this post. The key for dong this that I found was to turn off syncing on Lion, and then perform the tedious task of deleting all the bookmarks on the iPhone. For some reason, when you change things on the iPhone it seems like iCloud gets updated much faster. Then once I was sure that syncing was done (if you move to a different folder and then tap the "Edit" button, it'll tell you if it's syncing), I turned sync back on on the Lion computer, and lo and behold all the bookmarks synced nicely the way that I wanted. I hope that helps as well as the post above.

If You Think You've Arrived - Paul Tripp's weekly reflection for pastors is good reading for every Christian. "There are times when I am too self-aware and not nearly as Christ-aware as I should be. I still struggle with latent self-righteousness , and the praise of others tends to confirm the praise for myself I still carry around in my heart. So I still cry out for help. I still need to be rescued from me. I still have but one hope: the transforming grace of Jesus Christ."
Gospel Amnesia - I appreciated Luma Simms' article on gospel amnesia: "You don't need to have full-blown gospel amnesia like I did to despise other women, tear them down, and pass judgment on their choices. When we forget the gospel and turn away from the charity and grace we are called to have for one another we can turn into women who look sideways at each other."
Better Than Our Comfort - Mark Altrogge shows that Jesus is working toward something far better than our comfort.
Kingdom-Focused Prayer - Archie Parrish, writing for Tabletalk magazine: "What makes a 'big' prayer? A multitude of words doesn't do it. Only prayers that are consistent with God's character and focus on advancing God's kingdom can truly be called 'big.'"
Let me update you on the current Kindle deals since I know a lot of you like to track them: The Marriage Bed by Ray Rhodes' ($0.99); Amazing Grace: God's Pursuit, Our Response by Timothy George ($3.03); The Teavangelicals by David Brody ($2.99); Politics According to the Bible by Wayne Grudem ($4.99); The Doctrines of Grace by Philip Ryken and James Montgomery Boice ($4.99); The Finished Work of Christ by Francis Schaeffer ($4.99); Awaiting a Savior by Aaron Armstrong ($0.99).
Enjoying Rest - Randy Alcorn writes about rest now and the rest to come.
Deep Roots Library - Deep Roots Library, which exists "to serve the Church by making writings from Christian history accessible, readable, affordable, and searchable," is offering 15 free ebooks to pastors.

The 5 Creepiest Stories in the History of War
Even those of us who have never worn a uniform outside of a Burger King kitchen know that serving in combat is hell. We saw Saving Private Ryan, just like everyone else. But while all war is awful, sometimes it gets truly weird. Like ...
Let's ease you into this list of creepy war stories with this image of a specially bred Aryan baby being christened in a Nazi ceremony, in which an SS officer holds a freaking dagger over his body while the mother swears allegiance to the Nazi party:
Via Fold3.com
"Every political party does stuff like this ... right?"
Here, let us make it weirder: That infant was one of thousands and thousands of "Lebensborn" babies, some of whom were not bred, but were kidnapped and raised in Nazi baby factories.
The Nazis were always worried that not enough blonde-haired, blue-eyed Aryans were being born into the world. So, the same guy who orchestrated the Final Solution came up with the Lebensborn program, in which the purest Aryan stock could be taken and raised as pure Nazis in a luxurious network of homes furnished with the stolen goods of murdered Jews.
Via Godthaab.no
"We just planted a beautiful crop of corn around the building. The children really seem to love it."
It started with simply encouraging SS soldiers invading Europe to mingle with the locals. And by mingle with, we mean "fuck." Provided, that is, the parties on the receiving end were of good Nordic stock. Should their girlfriends get pregnant, Lebensborn houses were there to provide a safe, nurturing home for unwed mothers in which to give birth and raise their babies. Thanks to these welcome arms of love, between 16,000-20,000 babies were born and Nazified during the war.
Via Flickr.com
"Just park the brown-eyed ones on the lawn. We'll find a place for them later."
And when they couldn't breed enough babies this way, they just started abducting the bluest- or greenest-eyed blond babies they could find. To be fair, some of the kids stolen for the program were actually orphans. Not that getting conscripted into Nazism by virtue of one's paleness and dead parents is awesome, but at least the kids had food to eat while the world was falling apart.
Others were "voluntarily" surrendered by their parents, sometimes just to keep them from the gas chambers. And still others, probably the ones with the bluest eyes of all - like, Daniel Craig blue -- were straight up taken from their parents. There was no genetic testing done or anything -- the poor kids just looked the part. The ones who fit in were either kept in the program or adopted by German families. The ones who didn't fit in were sent to concentration camps. Poland thinks they lost as many as 200,000 kids to the Germans this way, but we'll never know for sure, since so many were absorbed by good German families. Sleep tight, friends! Maybe you come from a line of Nazi babies and you'll never even know!

#4. The Angel Makers of Nagyrev
Not that the Nazis have a monopoly on bizarrely creepy wartime horror or anything. Hell, not all of the perpetrators are members of any army at all -- for instance, here is a story about some nice Hungarian women on the home front who secretly and systematically poisoned 300 fucking people.
It all started when, during World War I, some lonely Hungarian wives in the small village of Nagyrev started screwing some strapping Allied POWs imprisoned nearby. Fair enough. Ladies get horny, too. But when their husbands came home from war, something sinister started happening: Returning soldiers started getting a case of the deads, one after another. Which was why the village became known as "the Murder District." Well, that and the crows.
"It appears he shot himself four times in the back of the head."
The whole murder-thon started when a mysterious midwife moved into the village in 1911. When the lonely wives of Nagyrev got pregnant with their lovers' Allied spawn, it was Midwife Fuzekas who put the kibosh on the pregnancies. And when the lonely wives' husbands returned home from war, it was also Midwife Fuzekas who suggested they poison the men by boiling flypaper, skimming the arsenic off the top of the brew, then serving it to the husbands on a pizza or doughnut or something.
Oh, and just to make sure that they could do this again and again and again without ever getting caught, they had the cooperation of the village clerk (the midwife's cousin) who, when a death report came in, was sure to mark "NOT MURDER" on the official records.
"In fact, he's not even dead. Nothing to see here, I'll just take him to the hospital myself."
It was so easy, that every little problem came to be solved with arsenic soup (a fact that you'd think the local flypaper salesmen would notice, if nobody else). By the time neighboring towns figured out what was going on, as many as 300 people were poisoned by 50 different women, with the victims including parents, lovers, aunts, uncles, neighbors, and even children. All because in this one little town, in this one short stretch of time, murder by poison became a straight-up fad. Like Hammer pants.
#3. American Soldiers Collected Human Body Parts as Trophies
Before we tell you that our WWII-fighting great-grandparents collected severed Japanese heads as trophies (too late!), we need to provide a little context.
Still slightly less weird than serial killer trading cards.
First, everyone involved in the conflict had been thoroughly programmed to see their enemies as subhuman. Now add in the shock of Pearl Harbor and young men witnessing daily the horrors of war, and things start to get ... weird. We're not excusing them, we're just setting the stage. We're talking about some of the newly enlisted being issued "hunting licenses" at the recruitment office. One read:
Open Season
No Limit
Japanese Hunting Season
Free Ammunition and Equipment!
With Pay
Join the United States Marines!
So maybe it's not so surprising that the minute Japanese bodies started hitting the ground during the Guadalcanal Campaign, G.I.s started collecting ears for souvenirs. Ears were worn on belts, teeth were made into necklaces, skulls were mailed home as keepsakes for the folks at home. It got so bad that by 1942 the U.S. military had to issue a decree specifically condemning the practice of stealing body parts for trophies. But by then, it was too late. Servicemen had recipes for cleaning skulls.
As well as hilarious poses with skulls all worked out and everything.
Via Wikipedia
The mindset of stealing Japanese bones for fun was already set in stone. FDR himself had to refuse a letter opener made from a leg bone. It's like the whole fucking country lost their minds. The only good news concerning the whole national disgrace was that American readers who saw the Life report were outraged -- not just at the thought of the pictures reaching the Japanese and spurring disgusted rage (which they did), but of just ... gross. Americans were supposed to better than that. Turns out, we weren't.
So among the topics you never ever approach with Grandpops, like gays in the military and Lady Gaga, be sure to never ever ask if he brought any souvenirs home from the Pacific. Okay? Okay.
WARNING: It gets much worse from here.


text: For a while I thought Penny from Amazing World of Gumball was a potato and it wasn't until recently, that I found out she was actually a peanut. Her brownish tan color and odd shape almost makes her look like somewhat of a moose. I mean, she has moose style antlers, and the same color hide too. This tutorial is being done out of request, and because of that you will be learning the ropes when it comes to drawing Penny. She is a cute, outgoing character that actually has the hots for Gumball. Unlike other characters in some cartoon series, this is one time where the feelings are mutual. Penny likes Gumball, and Gumball likes Penny. The problem with the two and their incapability with hooking up, is all due to the fact that they are both too shy to tell one another how they feel. As you can imagine Penny is becoming more and more popular, and because of this I can see her being an adored figure on the Cartoon Network series. So jump aboard as you learn "how to draw Penny", step by step, and if you choose to tackle this task, you will be done in less than ten minutes for sure. I will be back in a bit with my last submission so stay tuned in or be square.


text: Okay, I make yet again another rabbit tutorial. This time, instead of coloring it in MS Paint, I colored it in GIMP!!!! If you don't know what GIMP is, it's sort of like Photoshop except it has a few less tools. It has layers and all that stuff. It's really cool if you want something like Photoshop but it's totally free!!!!! Oh, and I got a Youtube account, so I'm really excited today. So I hope you enjoy yet again another of my rabbit tutorials.

On this week's episode of
The Jennifer Love Hewitt Handjob Hour The Client List , Love's character Riley serviced a slightly older dude. But have no fear: he was just as improbably cut up and handsome as anyone who's blown by The Rub to get tugged at. It's a good thing this happy-ending massage parlor exists otherwise these extremely hot dudes would never get off. Poor guys.
This week's clip is particularly hilarious for a) featuring a moment of near-motorboating, and b) featuring a hot-and-heavy, candles-lit, extended, synth-driven rub-down. This show is erotica for people who don't know how to masturbate.

Did you know that handling yeast is like dealing with something alive?
This is what is explained in the Betty Crocker Picture Cookbook printed in 1950 but reprinted exactly as they appear in the original cookbook to reflect the heritage of American cooking.
Eating habits may have changed since 1950, but the fond memories of sharing delicious recipes from this cookbook remain the same, according to the cookbook.
Article Photos
YUMMY — The Brilliant United Methodist Church women baked dozens of nut rolls for their craft bazaar on Saturday. The recipe of Erma Homol, mother to Mary Peck, was used. Showing off the nut rolls that she has known since childhood were Mary Peck, seated, and standing, from left, Cheri McClung, Pam Degenhardt and Debbie Ford. -- Esther McCoy
"Mom or grandma may have used more salt, sugar and fat in her cooking than we do today, and some ingredients and food safety concerns have changed over the years, so you may want to try these recipes using today's ingredients and methods," the cookbook notes.
Mary Peck has a recipe for small nut rolls that her mother has made through the years. They were made again for the Brilliant United Methodist Church Christmas Bazaar by a dozen or more church women, with some mixing, some rolling, some checking the ovens and others putting them in containers. It was a group just as busy as Santa's elves. And some were even wearing cute little Santa hats.
There is a centuries-old satisfaction in molding yeast dough into attractive shapes, watching the dough rise to a puffy lightness and taking the brown, beautiful and tasteful "works of art" from the oven, according to cookbook.
Here is the nut roll recipe of the late Erma Homol's. It makes a huge quantity that are quality good eating.
Small Nut Rolls
7 to 8 cups flour
3 eggs, beaten together
8-ounce can evaporated milk
1 pound margarine, melted
Large cake yeast or 3 packages dry yeast
1 tablespoon sugar
Place 7 cups flour in a large bowl. Add melted butter and blend. Add eggs and mix in. Place yeast in a cup and add sugar, mixing until it turns to liquid. Add to flour mixture and slowly add canned milk. If it is sticky, add the remaining flour just until the stickiness is gone. Refrigerate overnight. Roll into 1-inch balls. Then roll in a mixture of powdered sugar and granulated sugar. Roll out and spread with nut mixture and bake at 350 degree oven for 10 minutes or until slightly golden.
The recipe for the nut mixture was not included for the filling, but I combine 3 cups of ground walnuts or a combination of nuts, 1/3 cup sugar and enough evaporated milk to make a soft paste. Cook for several minutes, stirring continually. Take off the heat and add 1/4 teaspoon almond flavoring and a teaspoon vanilla extract. This has served me well in making nut rolls.
Note: If you have a recipe that calls for half a cake of compressed yeast, rather than keeping the other half for an unknown matter of time, go ahead and use the whole cake of yeast. It will just hasten the raising time. This is from the Betty Crocker Cookbook.
This is another recipe for nut rolls contributed by Mary Gall for the Dobra 2 Cookbook compiled by the Weirton Senior "R" Club, Chapter 58 and the Federated Russian Orthodox Club.
The dough calls for sour cream and cream cheese and is a flaky dough that is wonderful.
Sour Cream Nut Rolls
6 cups flour
1 pound margarine
Large fresh yeast, or 3 packages dry yeast
Half pint sour cream
1 tablespoon sugar
6 ounces of cream cheese
4 egg yolks and 1 egg
1 teaspoon vanilla
2 teaspoons baking powder
Cream margarine and cream cheese and add sugar. Beat yolks and egg. Add to mixture. Warm sour cream slightly and add yeast; stir and add to the previous mixture. Add vanilla and flour, a cup at a time, mixing well after each addition. Knead with the hands. Cover and store in the refrigerator overnight.
The next day, make balls the size of a walnut. Roll out on powdered sugar. Spread with nut filling, roll up, put on ungreased cookie sheet and bake 10 to 15 minutes in 400 degree oven. When done, sprinkle with powdered sugar, or wait until serving time and roll in powdered sugar.
Nut Filling
4 cups ground nuts
2 cups sugar
1 tablespoon honey
4 beaten egg whites
Combine nuts, sugar and honey. Beat egg whites and fold into the nut mixture until combined. Spread on the yeast dough and roll up.
This recipe is from the Dobra 2 Cookbook put together by the Weirton Senior "R" Club, Chapter 58 and the Federate Russian Orthodox Club.
If made in the spring it is called Easter Babe, and at Christmas time, it is Sugar Plum Bread, so we will call it the latter.
The recipe was contributed by Assailant Podolak.
Note: In the Czechoslovakian language, "dobra" means good and from the sound of the recipes in the book that was published in 1999, they are really tasty.
Sugar Plum Bread
3/4 cup hot milk
1/2 cup sugar
1/2 teaspoon salt
3/4 cup butter, melted and cooled
1 package dry granular yeast
1/4 cup warm water
4 1/2 cups flour
6 eggs, slightly beaten
1/4 cups raisins
1/2 cup chopped nuts
1/2 cup glazed or candied fruit, as used for fruitcakes
In a large mixing bowl, combine milk, sugar and salt. Cool to lukewarm. Add yeast, dissolved in the warm water. Add to milk mixture with 1 cup flour; beat until smooth. Cover; let rise in warm place until spongy and double in bulk, about 1 to 1 1/2 hours. Beat in butter, eggs, remaining flour, raisins, glazed fruit and nuts, adding just enough flour to make a slightly sticky dough but one easily handled. Cover; let rise in warm place until double in bulk, about 1 1/2 hours. Punch down dough. Knead gently on lightly floured board until smooth and elastic. Place in a greased large ring mold, about a 3-quart size. Cover; allow to rise until double. Bake in oven at 350 degrees for about 35 to 40 minutes. When cooled, drizzle with the following icing:
Vanilla Icing Topping
1 1/2 tablespoons milk
1 cup powdered sugar
1 tablespoon butter
1/2 teaspoon vanilla
Heat together milk and butter over low heat until butter melts. Remove from heat and blend in the sugar and vanilla. Beat until smooth and drizzle over bread.
Now this recipe is called Monkey Bread, and the easy way to do it is to get frozen bread dough. Thaw it and make small balls. Roll these in melted butter and then in sugar and cinnamon and pile in a bundt cake pan and bake. This one has a made-from-scratch sweet dough, and finely chopped nuts are used as well as raisins. It is really good. It is from the Betty Crocker Cookbook.
Hungarian Coffee Cake
1 cup lukewarm milk
1/2 cup sugar
1 teaspoon salt
2 cakes compressed yeast
2 eggs
1/2 cup soft shortening
4 1/2-5 cups flour
Mix together milk, sugar and salt. Crumble the yeast into the mixture. Stir until yeast is dissolved. Stir in beaten eggs and soft shortening. Slowly mix in flour, first with a spoon and then with the hands as more flour is added. Use only the amount of flour to make it soft and almost sticky. This makes for excellent eating and keeping quality. Let rise and punch down. Let rise again and after a second rising, cut dough into the size of unshelled walnuts and form into balls. Roll each ball in the melted butter, sugar, cinnamon and nuts that have been combined. Place a layer of balls so they barely touch in a well greased 9-inch tube pan. Sprinkle with a few raisins. Add another layer of balls, sprinkle with more raisins, pressing them in slightly. Let rise 45 minutes. Bake 35 to 40 minutes at 375 degrees. Loosen from pan. Invert pan so butter sugar mixture runs down over the coffee cake. To serve, break apart with two forks. Serve slightly warm while the sugar mixture is still oozy. Or warm it in the microwave or oven the next day before serving.
This is a Norway Christmas Cake called Jule Kage. This means Glad Yule, and the recipe is from the Betty Crocker Cookbook. I have cardamom if anyone wants to use some.
Jule Kage
1 cup lukewarm milk
1/2 cup sugar
1/2 teaspoon salt
1/2 teaspoon powdered cardamom
1 cake compressed yeast or 1 1/2 packets dry granulated yeast
1 small egg
2 tablespoons soft shortening
3 1/4 to 3 1/2 cups flour
1/4 cup chopped citron
1/2 cup golden raisins
Mix warm milk, sugar, salt and cardamom together. Crumble yeast into the mixture. Stir until dissolved and add the egg that has been beaten and shortening. Mix in the flour, starting mixing with a spoon but as it gradually gets stiffer, use the hands. Add the citron and raisins last. Knead and let rise twice. Shape into a round loaf and place in a greased 9-inch round pan. Cover and let rise until double, 45 to 60 minutes. Bake until brown.
Note: To make a golden glaze on top, brush slightly with a beaten egg just before baking.

What are distinguishable and indistinguishable particles in statistical mechanics? While learning different distributions in statistical mechanics I came across this doubt; Maxwell-Boltzmann distribution is used for solving distinguishable particle and Fermi-Dirac, Bose-Einstein for indistinguishable particles. What is the significance of these two terms in these distributions?
On the deepest level, particles are indistinguishable if and only if they have the same quantum numbers (mass, spin, and charges).
However, in statistical mechanics one ofte studies effective theories where there are additional means of distinguishing particles. Two important examples:
The computational relevance of the distinction is that permutations of (in)distinguishable particles (don't) count towards the weighting factor.
Assume you have two particle A and B in states 1 and 2. If the two particle are distinguishable, then by exchanging the particles A and B, you will obtain a new state that will have the same properties as the old state i.e. you have degeneracy and you have to count both states when calculating the entropy for example. On the other hand, for indistinguishable particles, exchanging A and B is a transformation that does nothing and you have the same physical state. This means that for indistinguishable particles, particle labels are unphysical and they represent a redundancy in describing the physical state and that is why you would have to divide by some symmetry factor to get the proper counting of states.
Suppose you have two distinct particles. If they are distinguishable (Like a helium-3 atom and a helium-4 atom), then you can switch their positions and the system changes. If they are indistinguishable (Like two protons), switching the two particles' positions makes no physical change because we do not know whether particles switched at all. I haven't studied advanced quantum mechanics, so I can't give a better explanation, but Wikipedia can http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Identical_particles#Distinguishing_between_particles.
The number of permutations of the distinguishable particles is n! more than that of indistinguishable ones, so quantities like entropy can change depending on whether we can distinguish particles in our system. All three distributions can be derived from the grand partition function, but the derivations for Bose-Einstein and Fermi-Dirac distributions uses indistinguishability..
Since there is no way in which the molecules can be labeled, the particles are indistinguishable. On the other hand, if the assembly is a crystal, the molecules can be labeled in accord with the positions they occupy in the crystal lattice and can be considered distinguishable.
In classical mechanics, one can keep track of individual particles. For example, if you have two particles in a system, you can color these particles red and blue and follow them. Notice this, for classical mechanics, dynamical variables are $(q_i,p_i)$ with $i=1,2$. There is nothing classical mechanics that prevents you from specifying more variables e.g $c_i\in \{r,b\}$.
In quantum mechanics, however, the maximum you can do is specify a complete set of commuting observables for each of the particles. There is also this problem of following the trajectory in quantum mechanics. There is no trajectory, owing to Heisenberg's Uncertainty. So, there will be regions in the system, where you will be blind and the two particles exchange their positions. If you look too carefully, the system would be disturbed, thus making your measurements useless.
P.S. I have channeled my answer from the first paragraph of J.J. Sakurai's Modern Quantum Mechanics. Look at the Chapter Identical Particles to get an answer with a picture.

I am thinking about creating a linux appliance (probably using xubuntu booting from a USB drive, FYI) and I'm curious about how best to perform remote updates and administration.
The use case I want to support, is to have this box at a remote location out of my control (someone's house or office) and I want to update it remotely to patch something, alter it's configuration, maybe just upgrade the OS or applications on it for example.
At a dead-simple one-by-one situation, I figure that if it's running the entire OS in RAM, I should be able to remotely overwrite the OS image on the USB drive and tell the machine to reboot for the changes to take effect.
However, I got to thinking that I can't be the first guy with this problem. So what software/conifguration is available to manage a remote set of (very similar if not identical) appliances. I'd also love to have a dashboard where I can dive into each box to diagnose problems too -- but the idea of remote updates (especially in bulk) seems like a whole new problem.
Any help?

Handling click event on leaf icon of treepanel in ExtJs 3.3
I have a need where clicking on the icon of the leaf in tree panel node shall have a separate event, While I am able to get the event on the click of the tree record as whole but I am not sure how to achieve this on click of icon rather than click of record. i need to have two different event ,that is, one on icon click and other on record click following the leaf icon.

Subject: Re: [OMPI devel] Fwd: OpenMPI changes
From: Greg Watson (g.watson_at_[hidden])
Date: 2008-03-04 18:00:06
I don't have a problem using a different interface, assuming it's
adequately supported and provides the functionality we need. I presume
the recursive behavior you're referring to is calling OMPI interfaces
from the callback functions. Any event-based system has this issue,
and it is usually solved by clearly specifying the allowable
interfaces that can be called (possibly none). Since PTP doesn't call
OMPI functions from callbacks, it's not a problem for us if no
interfaces can be called.
The major missing features appear to be:
- Ability to request a process allocation without launching the job
- I/O forwarding callbacks
Without these, PTP support will be so limited that I'd be reluctant to
say we support OMPI.
