Recently I went on a trek to a placed named "Har ki Doon". The trek took us around an altitude of 3500 meters(15000 ft). When we were there, our guide advised us not to cover up our ears. According to him, covering up the ears would increase the time required to acclimatize. At the same time, covering up one's ears keeps the body warm. So is there any validity in not covering up the ears at higher altitudes? Also, by not covering up the ears, is there a risk of exposing oneself to harmful cold weather?
Other tidbits I've heard from local** guides:
That's half the fun of hiring a local guide - learning the local way of doing things. Of course, to a certain extent you have to use your own judgement. They undoubtedly know a hell of a lot about their region, terrain, and route, but often aren't as up on their principles of science.
So, in short: No. Covering your ears will not in any way expedite or retard your acclimatization. The forces of atmospheric pressure won't be affected in the least by your head gear -- unless you are wearing a pressure-sealed space-helmet.
At the same time, not covering up can result in frost nip, or frost bite. Your ear lobes have a high surface area making them lose heat rapidly and thus more susceptible to cold injuries. Cover up, buttercup.
**Local to various parts of East and Southeast Asia
Sounds like a myth to me. The only thing that could possibly come into play is the pressure inside your head. But in order to hold the pressure inside your head constant, you would have to plug your ears with something air-tight, not open your mouth, et cetera. I can't see how a beanie hat or something like that could prevent the outside and inside pressures from equalizing.

FORT RILEY, Kan. – Symphony in the Flint Hills, Inc. has announced that its eighth annual event will be held at Fort Riley on Saturday, June 15, 2013.
The outdoor celebration will take place on Fort Riley's Historic Main Post, which includes the Artillery Parade Field and Cavalry Parade Field.
Fort Riley's Garrison Commander, Colonel Bill Clark, and Marty White, board chair for Symphony in the Flint Hills, Inc. made the announcement about this year's location at a press conference on post Wednesday afternoon.
"This is a once-in-a-lifetime opportunity and we're thrilled to be partnering with Fort Riley to make it happen," said White. "This unique setting will allow concertgoers to experience an often-unseen portion of Kansas' majestic Flint Hills – the historic Fort Riley buildings and parade grounds. The dramatic surroundings of Fort Riley are sure to add an extra dimension to an already dramatic event."
Col. Clark said it is an "opportunity to share Fort Riley with our community."
Founded in 1853, Fort Riley is named in honor of Maj. Gen. Bennet C. Riley, the man who led the first military escort along the Santa Fe Trail and through the Flint Hills in 1829. Over the years, the installation has been home to Maj. Gen. George A. Custer; two regiments of the famed "Buffalo Soldiers;" and the 1st Infantry Division (The Big Red One), the oldest and most-storied division in the U.S. Army. Fort Riley's size and location within the Flint Hills has allowed generations of soldiers to practice large sale maneuvers and receive live-fire training that has prepared them for action in every major conflict since World War I.
"Fort Riley is pleased to host the Symphony in the Flint Hills event in 2013. The concert and associated events provide a unique cultural opportunity for Fort Riley residents, as well as afford the opportunity for citizens of the regional community who might not otherwise visit an Army installation to discover Fort Riley," added Colonel Clark.
While the location of this year's event is a departure from those of years past, symphony organizers feel holding the event at Fort Riley provides yet another opportunity to fulfill the organization's mission of heightening appreciation and knowledge of the Flint Hills.
"The most noticeable difference about this year's event is that instead of a site in a remote pasture of native prairie grass, this year's event will be located in the middle of the historic fort buildings," said White. "No venture into the history of the Flint Hills is complete without a stop at Fort Riley. We will have an opportunity to experience the legends and history that this fort has witnessed over the last 160 years in this portion of the Flint Hills."
As it has been since the event debuted in 2006, the Governor of Kansas will serve as the event's honorary chair and the Kansas City Symphony will return to perform the sunset concert. Organizers said they appreciate Capitol Federal® for its strong support as the major presenting sponsor for the third year in a row.
Officials expect some 8,000 people to travel to the area for the event, including ticket holders and volunteers. White says people come from across the country and even different parts of the world to enjoy the festivities.
Tickets for this year's Symphony in the Flint Hills will go on sale at 10 a.m. on Saturday, March 23. General admission tickets are $75 for adults and $43 for children under 12, and can be purchased online at kcsymphony.org and by phone at 816-471-0400. A limited number of Patron Packages will be available for those who want to financially support the organization while experiencing the event from a premium vantage point. For more information, call 620-273-8955.
For a complete listing of where tickets will be sold and more event information, visit symphonyintheflinthills.org.
Symphony in the Flint Hills is an annual outdoor concert series that debuted in June 2006 and has sold out every year since. The symphony moves each year to a different site in the Flint Hills. The event is organized by Symphony in the Flint Hills Inc., a grassroots non-profit organization with a mission to heighten appreciation and knowledge of the tallgrass prairie by providing opportunities to experience symphonic music and place-based education in the Kansas Flint Hills.

I've been thinking about equivalence of codes (two codes that are equal up to order of positions of the letters, or permutations of the letters in a fixed position).
It is obvious that if we have two codes with the same distance $d$, it doesn't mean they are equivalence; nor if they have the same set of distances.
However, I thought about listing the distances and counting them, that is, make a list of the type "there are $n_1$ pairs of words in the code with distance $1$, $n_2$ pairs of words that differ only in two positions, $n_3 \ldots$"
It is not difficult to see that this criterion does not imply equivalence if we talk about ternary codes; but what if we take binary codes? I have a gut feeling it's wrong too, but can't think of a counter example.

Let $\Phi_n(x)$ be the usual cyclotomic polynomial (minimal polynomial over the rationals for a primitive nth root of unity).
There are many well-known properties, such as $x^n-1 = \Pi_{d|n}\Phi_d(x)$.
The following fact appears to follow pretty easily:
$\Phi_n(1)=p$ if $n$ is a prime power $p^k$.
$\Phi_n(1)=1$ if $n$ is divisible by more than one prime.
My question is, is there a reference for this fact? Or is it simple enough to just call it "folklore" or to just say it "follows easily from properties of cyclotomic polynomials".

THE PARTY While Weisberger signed copies of her book, guests celebrated all things fashion by posing inside a photo booth by Dress Your Guests, perusing a Nars lipstick bar and enjoying custom-made Georgetown Cupcakes—complete with a fondant copy of Weisberger's book on top. THE PEOPLE Weisberger and some devilishly fashionable fans mixed and mingled throughout the W's rooftop venue, P.O.V Lounge. Blogger Hilary Phelps (sister to Olympian Michael Phelps), ArtJamz Creative Director Anychi Wei, socialite Mariella Trager and fashion blogger Alison Coglianese were among the well-dressed attendees. BEST IN SHOW The W hotel location and stunning view of the White House was perfect for the event. "I can't think of a better place to celebrate this story in Washington than overlooking The White House," said Weisberger, "which currently symbolizes both power and fashion better than anywhere else."

WACO (January 15, 2013)—Rickey Donnell Cummings, 23, who was sentenced to death on Nov. 7 for his role in a shooting in March 2011 that left two dead and two injured, will be returned to Waco for a hearing on a dispute over a fee paid to a defense expert who never testified.
McLennan County State District Judge Ralph Strother issued a bench warrant for Cummings, who's expected to testify in the hearing on Jan. 22.
Retired Bell County State District Judge Rick Morris will hold the hearing on the payment of nearly $100,000 to a cell phone expert hired by Cummings' attorneys who never testified during Cummings' trial.
The expert is expected to invoke attorney-client privilege during the hearing and Cummings is expected to testify that the expert worked on behalf of his attorneys.
Cummings was sentenced to die for his role in the shooting that left Keenan Hubert, 20, and Tyus Sneed, 17, dead.
They died in a hail of bullets as they sat inside a car parked at Lakewood Villas apartment complex.
Marion Bible, then 22, and Deontrae Majors, then 20, were wounded in the shooting, which prosecutors say was in retaliation for the April 2010 murder of Emuel Bowers III, 21, who was shot as he sat in his car at the intersection of Rose and McKeen Streets.

GENESEO, N.Y. - Four State University of New York at Geneseo students are among those from SUNY campuses across the state who have received a 2010 Chancellor's Award for Student Excellence.
The chancellor presented the award to the following Geneseo students, all seniors:
"The 228 students we honor today have excelled academically and taken advantage of what SUNY has to offer outside the classroom," said SUNY Chancellor Nancy L. Zimpher at a ceremony in Albany. "These students are proven leaders, athletes, artists, community servants and much more. Congratulations to all of the students receiving today's award and thank you all for your genuine dedication to student excellence."
The Chancellor's Award for Student Excellence was created 13 years ago to recognize students who have best demonstrated, and been recognized for, the integration of academic excellence with accomplishments in the areas of leadership, athletics, community service, creative and performing arts or career achievement. The average Grade Point Average (GPA) for all recipients this year is 3.8.
Each year, campus presidents establish a selection committee, which reviews exemplary members of their college communities who are graduating. Nominees are then forwarded to the Chancellor's Office and are subject to a second round of review. Finalists are then recommended to the chancellor to become recipients of the Chancellor's Award for Student Excellence.
Each recipient received a framed certificate and medallion, which is traditionally worn at commencement.

What is the source of the Hebrew word "Rabbi" - which is commonly applied to a Rav, Rosh Yeshiva, etc.?

closed as not a real question by Isaac Moses Jul 5 '12 at 19:34
It's difficult to tell what is being asked here. This question is ambiguous, vague, incomplete, overly broad, or rhetorical and cannot be reasonably answered in its current form. For help clarifying this question so that it can be reopened, visit the help center.If this question can be reworded to fit the rules in the help center, please edit the question.
In the Online Etymological Dictionary's entry on the corresponding English word, it says that the Hebrew word is Mishnaic Hebrew for "my master," combining "Rav" - meaning "master" or "great one" with the suffixx "-i" - meaning "my." "Rav," in turn, is associated with the Semitic root "R-B-B," which means "to be great or numerous."
(You can find much more on this root in the "Resh" chapter (PDF) of the Hebrew Etymology Project.)
Unkelus translates the word "Sar" ("officer") to mean "Rav" ("Rabbi"). Officer of God, I guess? (See Bereshit 26:26).
Rabbi is Roshei Teivos R'osh B'nei Y'isroel (Taamei HaMinhagim Likutim #85).
Most likely the current English term derives from the original word Rabbi.

Do women really love chocolate as much as modern media, to say nothing of modern marketing, would have you believe?
They do.
Forget research that tells you dark chocolate is an antioxidant with healthful properties that will do everything from improve your mood on a bad day to boost pheromones after a romantic meal.
"To a woman chocolate is a treat, maybe because we all try not to eat sweets too often," said local wedding planner Mandy Winn. It's a reward."
Winn admits to being a longtime chocolate lover herself and notes that the flavor in all its forms – chocolate fountains, cupcakes and bite-size truffles – is a symbol of romance that often figures in weddings and anniversaries.
Local chocolate makers and bakers confirm it, too, with Valentine's Day sales of chocolate-covered strawberries, flourless chocolate cake and chocolate-flavored popcorn selling out.
Who's doing the buying?
Men, of course.

Is it in 800 AD or 1800 AD. Was it done in Rome? Was it done in India? What was the name of the surgeon?
Pre-19th century transplants are not well documented. The first possibly real human transplant was in India. It is unknown if it was successful or not:
The first transplants known to be successful occurred in the 16th century:
However, those were transplants from one part of the body to another in the same individual
The first between two individuals was in the 20th century:
In 1905, Eduard Zirm conducted the first successful transplant between two individuals. He transplanted the corneas of an 11-year-old boy into a Czech day laborer. That was the first successful human transplant between two individuals that has been verified.

EDIT: Self-Answered
This is an improvement of work from this post.
I have an array formula that is similar to this image. It sums column A when the date in F matches the due date (C).
What I want to do is only sum A when F matches C and B is blank. This way when I add a date into the "Paid On" Column, G and H will no longer reflect that payment as "needed".
This would make my budget sheet much better. Any help appreciated.
Solution: =arrayformula(sumif(C2:C8 & D2:D8 & B2:B8,F2:F11 & G1 & "",A2:A8))

Graphical Hit Counter In ASP
Its assumed that you already know a little bit about ASP and running ASP scripts.
Before we can start writing the ASP for the hit counter we first need to create a few files and graphics.
First create a text file in note pad, called 'hit_count.txt' containing the digit 0, and save it in the same directory as you are going to place the page containing the hit counter script (make sure there are no other characters in the file).
Next if you are going to be using graphics to display the hit count in a web page you need to create a folder in the directory you have placed the 'hit_count.txt' text file in called 'counter_images' and place 10 gif images in it with the names, '0.gif', '1.gif', '2.gif', .......... '9.gif'. If you don't want to create your own you can download the images in the attached file.
Now we got that out the way we can begin writing the code for the ASP Hit Counter. Open up you favourite text editor and type in the following code.
As the hit counter is displayed within a web page we first need to start with the HTML for the web page.
Code: HTML
<title>Hit Counter</title>
<body bgcolor="white" text="black">
Code: ASP
'Dimension variables
Dim fsoObject 'File System Object
Dim tsObject 'Text Stream Object
Dim filObject 'File Object
Dim lngVisitorNumber 'Holds the visitor number
Dim intWriteDigitLoopCount 'Loop counter to display the graphical hit count
Code: ASP
'Create a File System Object variable
Set fsoObject = Server.CreateObject("Scripting.FileSystemObject")
Code: ASP
'Initialise a File Object with the path and name of text file to open
Set filObject = fsoObject.GetFile(Server.MapPath("hit_count.txt"))
Code: ASP
'Open the visitor counter text file
Set tsObject = filObject.OpenAsTextStream
Code: ASP
'Read in the visitor number from the visitor counter file
lngVisitorNumber = CLng(tsObject.ReadAll)
Code: ASP
'Increment the visitor counter number by 1
lngVisitorNumber = lngVisitorNumber + 1
Code: ASP
'Create a new visitor counter text file over writing the previous one
Set tsObject = fsoObject.CreateTextFile(Server.MapPath("hit_count.txt"))
Code: ASP
'Write the new visitor number to the text file
tsObject.Write CStr(lngVisitorNumber)
Code: ASP
'Reset server objects
Set fsoObject = Nothing
Set tsObject = Nothing
Set filObject = Nothing
I'm going to explain two ways of doing this, either with just text, or with graphics. First I'm going to show you how to display it as text as this is the simplest way.
To display the hit count as text we display the value held in the hit count variable using the ASP 'Response' object and the 'Write' method to write the hit count to the HTTP stream to display the value in the web page.
Code: ASP
'Display the hit count as text
Here we use a 'For.....Next' loop to display each digit in the hit count. Using the VBScript 'Len' function to get the length of the hit count number so we know how many times to loop round (eg. If the hit count was '9999' we would need to loop round 4 times to display each digit in the number).
Within the loop we use 'Response.Write' again to write to the web page. To choose which 'gif' image we are going to display we use the VBScript 'Mid' function to find the which digit in the hit count we are displaying in this iteration of the loop.
Code: ASP
'Loop to display graphical digits
For intWriteDigitLoopCount = 1 to Len(lngVisitorNumber)
'Display the graphical hit count
Response.Write("<img src=""counter_images/")
Response.Write(Mid(lngVisitorNumber, intWriteDigitLoopCount, 1) & ".gif""")
Response.Write("alt=""" & Mid(lngVisitorNumber, intWriteDigitLoopCount, 1) & """>")
Code: HTML
And that's it, you have now created a hit counter for a web page, remember to run the page through an ASP enabled web server.
If you find that the script is not running correctly and is either not displaying a counter number or not incrementing the number then check that you have sufficient permissions to allow ASP scripts write as well as execute.

A number of my friends, who I otherwise enjoy seeing content from often share content from a particular page that I don't care to see ever again. Is there a way to block content from a page?
There is absolutely no straight-forward or proper way of doing this.
You Can block People, Games and Apps but not Pages.
All you can do is unsubscribe the friend who posts such contents, or subscribe to only "Important Updates" from the particular friend:
You can try clicking on either "Hide Story" or "Report Story or Spam" to give hints to Facebook that you do not like the content of a particular page.
All these would reduce the probability of such posts appearing in your "News Feed".
Some posts from friends have the option of hiding posts from the source.
On your Newsfeed, below the "(friend) liked this" line, hover over the page area's dropdown box and click "Hide all from (source)":
If its not a direct status update or share from a friend, but the result of a friend posting a comment directly to the page itself, then you can block it from your news feed. Hover over the name of the Page when it appears in your Newsfeed (it will be in bold type). A down arrow will appear. Click on it and select "Hide". You will then be given the option to hide all comments made on that Page.
If it is a direct status or share posted on your friend's page, then you cannot hide it without hiding all updates from your friend.
An easy way to hide page updates, where your friend has commented on a page, or liked a post on a page, that you dont want to see, is to use a newsfeed filtering browser extension, such as FB Purity. It lets you type in keywords or phrases, that you dont want to see in your newsfeed and then it filters them out. In this case, you would just need to put the name of the Page whose posts you dont want to see into the extension's Custom Text Filter. You can get FB Purity here: http://www.fbpurity.com
Trying clicking on "Pages feed" from your news feed page. (It's part of the list of things on the left hand side)
It will bring up the pages you've got auto-posting, if you got to the down arrow at the top right corner of the first post, click on it and choose "Remove this post" (or whatever it says), it then gives you the option of removing the entire feed.
I clicked on "like" for one of these things and got swamped!
Use the drop down option to Report the Story as spam, then an option should appear saying hide all posts from (instert page name)

In The Name of Allah, the Most Gracious, the Most Merciful
Dear brothers: It is a pleasure on this blessed day of the month of Ramadan to break the fast with you at the end of a day in which we fasted together in obedience to the commands of Almighty God and in adherence to the Sunnah and the path of the same Prophet we follow.
We prayed facing the same Makkah. In doing so, we recalled the verses of the Holy Qur'an that binds us. It is the same Qur'an that Muslims depend on in their worship of Allah whether it is recited in Makkah, Madinah and Riyadh, Baghdad, Najaf and Mashhad or in Islamabad, Cairo and Damascus. Though the recitations may be performed in different tones, the script is the same.
In this respect I recall in utter presence and total submission the holy verse of the Qur'an that says:
"Muhammad is the Messenger of Allah. And those who are with him are severe against disbelievers, and merciful amongst themselves. You see them bowing and falling down prostrate (in prayer), seeking Bounty from Allah and (His) Good Pleasure. The mark of them (i.e. of their Faith) is on their faces (foreheads) from the traces of prostration (during prayers). This is their description in the Taurat (Torah). But their description in the Injeel (Gospel) is like a sown seed which sends forth its shoot, then makes it strong, and becomes thick and it stands straight on its stem, delighting the sowers, that he may enrage the disbelievers with them. Allah has promised those among them who believe (i.e. all those who follow Islamic Monotheism, the religion of Prophet Muhammad till the Day of Resurrection) and do righteous good deeds, forgiveness and a mighty reward (i.e. paradise)." Surah 48:29
Also, I remind all of you as well as myself of the hadith of the Prophet Muhammad, the final prophet, which was narrated in all the authentic hadith books of the Sunni Muslims:
Yazid Ibn Hayyan (R.A.A) relates that: I Husain Ibn Sabrah and Amr Ibn Muslim went to Zaid Ibn Arqam (R.A.A) and when we had taken our seats Husain said to him: Zaid you have collected a good amount of merit as you have seen the Holy Prophet (S.A.W) ; you have heard him talk; you have fought along with him; you have offered your prayers (Salat) behind him. Undoubtedly you have gained a great amount of virtue. O Zaid! Please let us know what you have heard from the Prophet (S.A.W). He said: "Nephew, I have become very old and have become antiquated; some of the things that I heard from the Prophet (S.A.W) I have forgotten. So what I may narrate, please accept that and do not compel me to recall that which I have forgotten. The Prophet (S.A.W) once addressed us at Khuma, a spring between Makkah and Madinah. He praised and glorified Allah and then admonished us by inviting our attention to divine punishment and reward and then again eulogized Allah, and said: "Listen O people, I am but a man (like you) and soon the messenger of my Sustainer will come, and I shall have to obey His command. I shall leave behind two important things: The first is the Holy Qur'an, the Book of Allah; this contains instructions and guidance for you and it has got light. Hold fast this Book, and adhere to it". He laid great stress on this point and urged his followers to act upon the same. Then he said: "The second thing is, the Ahlu-Albait, members of my family. I call upon you in the name of Allah, to have due regard of my family members, and I once more urge you in the name of Allah, about my family". Husain Ibn Sabrah said: "Zaid, who are the members of the Prophet's family? Are not his wives the members of his family? Zaid replied: "His wives are members of his family, and also those who are not allowed to accept Sadaqa or alms after him. Husain Bin Sabrah asked: who are they? Zaid said: "They are the descendants of Ali, Aqil, J'afar and Abbas. They have all been disallowed to accept alms? Yes". Narrated by Muslim
Another tradition says: The Prophet (S.A.W) said: "Listen I am leaving for you two great things. One of them is the Book of Allah, it is like the rope of Allah. He, who follows it, will be rightly guided, and he who discards it, will go astray."
Like you, we respect members of the Prophet's family, recognize their merits, and acknowledge the Prophet's command to accord them all due regard. Furthermore, we pray to Allah to shower his mercy upon us together with them in the manner wished by Um Salama, as indicated in the following hadith narrated by Imam Ahmed Ibn Hanbal in his book. This remarkable story, which illustrates the merits of the members of the Prophet's family, becomes all the more colorful when the Prophet invited his daughter Fatima together with her husband Ali and their two sons: Al-Hassan and Al-Hussein. After they ate with the Prophet, the following holy verse was revealed:
"Allah wishes only to remove Ar-Rijs (evil deeds and sins) from you, O members of the family of the Prophet and to purify you with a thorough purification." (Surah 33:33)
Then the Prophet took some clothing and covers them with it, and rose up his hands in supplication: "O Allah these are members of my own household I ask you to remove the evil deeds and sins from them and purify them with a thorough purification". The Prophet repeated this supplication in an overwhelmingly spiritual environment full of serenity and outpouring love to his family members and Umma.
This took place at the residence of his wife Um Salama who seized the opportunity and said: Am I with you in that O Prophet of Allah. The prophet responded: You will certainly witness all that is good.
In another hadith the Prophet says: "Hold on to my Sunnah and the Sunnah of the Rightly-Guided Caliphs after me. Hold on to it firmly. And beware of heretical innovations."
Dear brothers: Today more than ever we are in need of joining hands, as there is no one amongst us who does not respect the family of Muhammad. In each of our prayers we pray for them and ask Allah to shower his blessings on them. Likewise, none of us refrain from asking Allah to be pleased with the Rightly-Guided Caliphs and to bestow his mercy upon them.
All of us, brothers, bear witness that there is no God but Allah and that Muhammad is his Messenger. As Custodian of the Two Holy Mosques King Abdullah bin Abdulaziz said in his statement before the recent Islamic Summit in Makkah: "The unity of Muslims will not be attained through bloodletting as alleged by the straying outlawed groups, rather the unity of Muslims can only be realized through faith, true love and sincere work. Ensuring that the Islamic Umma rises up again despite the missteps it encounters presupposes that it maintains a mind and soul devoid of any corrupt and deviant thought similar to the one upheld by those who label others as disbelievers and shed bloods and the destruction of societies."
Praise be to Allah, the Umma has been cognizant of the danger of disputes and discord. In its final communiqué, the Makkah Islamic Summit called for combating extremism that has been perpetrated under the guise of religion or any school of thought, as well as for refraining from regarding the followers of other schools of thought as infidels. The communiqué also confirmed the importance of strengthening dialogue among the different schools of thought and reinforcing the elements of moderation and tolerance.
All that we need is to abide by the Holy Qur'an, adhere to the Sunnah of our Prophet Muhammad (S.A.W) and adhere to what was said by the Custodian of the Two Holy Mosques and the other leaders of the Islamic World.
I wish you all a blessed fast.

My wife is expecting, and as we plan, I want to know if there is anything that people were surprised by how expensive it is, or didn't realize they would need to pay for?
Having kids has been a fairly expensive endeavor for my family. We have two kids - a 2 year old and an 8 month old.
Our biggest 'expense' has been a loss of income (of the mother). Although I am not a stay at home mother, time taken off for maternity leave, taking care of a newborn, etc. adds up. Between the two kids, we "lost" about 16 months of income. Depending on the country you live in, this will vary based on maternity benefits and child benefits offered to you.
Another expense has been child care - after I went back to work, we needed to pay for someone to watch the kids. Child care can be fairly expensive, again, depending on the country you are living in. Currently nearly half my income goes towards paying for the child care.
Another expense was a larger house and all the expenses that come with it - we needed an additional room in the house to be able to put the kids in it. The bigger house comes with its own higher expenses such as higher property taxes, utility bills, etc. Utility bills was a bit of an unexpected one for us since now there is someone (a nanny+kids) home all the time, the bills are naturally higher (versus my husband and I being at work all day long).
Another expense was a bigger vehicle. Putting two rear-facing car seats in a 2-door Cavalier can be fairly challenging. We've upgraded our car with the first one, and now are thinking of purchasing a mini-van - with the car seats, our car no longer can fit 5 people. (We also have more luggage when we go places like camping, so we just need a larger car now.) An additional car (or a bigger car) comes with its own expenses such as higher fuel costs, insurance, etc.
There are some one-time expenses as well, such as crib, crib mattress, linens, stroller, car seats, high chair, baby carrier*, rocking chair*, breast pump*, nursing pillow*, formula*, playpen*, swing*, bouncer*, etc. Of course there is also the diapers and the wipes, regardless of whether or not you are using cloth or disposable diapers. Not to forget the incredible amount of toys, books, and educational material that parents end up purchasing for their children ("but they need books!"). Lots of parent also invest in professional cameras or for professional photographers for their babies when they are younger. I didn't even get our wedding pictures in print, but we've got baby pictures all over the house. Even if you don't get them, there will be grandparents and great-grandparents asking for them. Also, do you like taking videos of your child? If you don't have a video camera, that'll be another expense.
There are also little items that just add up: are you going to be purchasing baby thermometer, baby monitor, baby toothbrush, baby toothpaste, baby lotions, baby towels, baby blankets, baby diaper bag, baby bottles, baby dishes, baby cutlery, baby snack containers, baby food, baby gates and other baby-proofing items? These can all be "optional", but many parents do purchase these items - and small items add up.
Baby clothing can be fairly inexpensive if acquired second-hand, but babies grow pretty fast. Our little one has a bigger collection of shoes than I do - and she only ever has two pairs that fit her at any time (sandals for summer/boots for winter + sneakers). It's also astounding how quickly they grow out of their clothes - it's not long before that extra-long-dress that used to go past her knees will look like a t-shirt or a mini-skirt gone wrong. Also, you are looking at purchasing fall jackets, winter coats, swim suits, life jacket - nearly every season. Oh and weddings - invited to your brother's wedding and your little one is the flower girl? You'll be spending more than a couple of dollars on that dress and shoes.
On the topic of clothing, don't forget that the mother is going to new a brand-new wardrobe. She will need maternity clothes no matter what, and even more so if she continues to work during her pregnancy. Post-pregnancy, it can take a few months for the mother to go back to her normal clothes - so she'll need those "in-between" clothes too. Some mothers take longer to lose the weight, at which point she'll need a new wardrobe. It is not uncommon for women's feet to grow permanently post-pregnancy, so she may need new shoes. I also had the minor expense of getting my wedding ring resized because my hands are just...fatter now.
We have national health insurance so that wasn't a concern, but my husband and I also get life insurance for the security of our kids - and they had to be relatively large amounts given the young age of our children. This is a monthly expense that will be a while before we rid of. Some people add disability or critical illness insurance, etc. on top of it - after all, you're not earning money or taking care of your kids when you're in a coma.
On top of all this, add the pressures of saving up for your children's future (university education), and yep, you start wondering if you're making less or the government is just taxing you more ;)
Generally speaking, everything you do gets more expensive now - you're no longer 2, but 3.
*Denoting optional items.
This will vary wildly, depending on the family.
For those who do not breastfeed, formula will likely be at the top of the list. It's been a while, so I don't remember exactly, but I believe we were, at our peak, going through a tub of generic formula a week, putting us at roughly $80-100 in formula each month. This is way more expensive than even brand-name disposable diapers.
For those that do breastfeed, a pump and accessories can be expensive, but not everyone will need one.
Furniture can be expensive, depending on what you want, but it is a one-shot cost, that most parents will have planned out long before the birth. The amount spent can vary wildly here, too, as factors such as co-sleeping, hand-me-downs, and alternative "baby-friendly" bedroom environments can all play a factor. Of course, if you absolutely want that solid oak crib, with matching changing table, laundry hamper, and dresser, you'll be paying for it, but they're certainly not mandatory.
Clothes can be pricey, but, if like me, you live in a relatively suburban or even rural area, yard sales can make this a non-issue. In our neighborhood, there are literally dozens of yard sales available each weekend during the spring/summer if you look for them (and often if you don't), and many will have children's clothes (and toys, furniture, and accessories) for a fraction of the cost of buying new.
Some first ideas:
Edit: Bold formatting added.
Child care is by far the largest expense for us. We live in a major metropolitan area and it costs ~1350 per month for full time child care in a montessori center. We use cloth diapers exclusively, breastfeed, shop craigslist for items that are safe to buy used, and cook all of our meals at home in order to afford to be able to send him to what we feel is the best educational child care setting available in our area. Before he got close to arriving, I had no idea how much it would cost and how strongly I would feel about where he would be cared for.
Our child seems to think sticks and rocks are more fun than elmo toys, so toys have not been a big expense.
Health care is another large one, the labor and delivery out of pocket cost was $5500, even with decent insurance. 12 months later and ear tubes went in for another $1500 out of pocket.

If a jet dryer happens to explode on a race track again, NASCAR will now be better equipped to handle the social media fallout.
Monday, NASCAR will unveil its Fan and Media Engagement Center, a technology initiative that collects and aggregates what's being said about it in both social and traditional media and disseminates that information to the proper channels.
The center, housed on the eighth floor of NASCAR's executive office building in Charlotte, is believed to be the first of its kind in professional sports. While several sports have a hub for social media engagement, NASCAR touts the glass-encased, 500-square foot tech center as more than that.
"As data comes in, whether it's social media, digital, traditional media, it might be a TV piece or something on the radio or something that's print-related, it'll help us understand what's happening out there from a fan perspective or media perspective," NASCAR chief marketing officer Steve Phelps said. "We'll have an understanding of what's being said about NASCAR, whether it's negative or positive. It'll be able to allow us to react in almost real time to what's happening."
From a social media standpoint, workers at the center could respond to a tweet from a single user or alert radio and TV broadcasters to a certain rule if there appears to be widespread confusion.
If a driver appears on a late-night talk show, the center will also compile media clippings and social media rumblings and send them to the driver's public relations team.
The idea came to NASCAR CEO Brian France more than a year ago after he wanted a better look at the dialogue around the sport. After searching for a technology partner to turn this idea into reality, NASCAR picked Hewlett-Packard as its partner last spring.
The center, which is not open to the public, will be staffed by NASCAR's integrative marketing communications staff
"The rest of the sports world will look at this," said Charles Salameh, HP's vice president of enterprise services for the Americas. "This implementation here shows the reality of big data is upon us and the technology is here to make it happen."

As a cross platform, cross application automated testing system EggPlant looks too good to be true. Has anyone implemented a large automated testing project using it and what were your experiences?
Sign up
- Anybody can ask a question

- The best answers are voted up and rise to the top
A year or two ago, my employer's existing automated testing system was nearing the end of its licence period, and I was tasked with evaluating EggPlant as a possible replacement. I spent about a month recording tests, writing test scripts, and generally trying to pick at EggPlant's flaws.
For the most part, EggPlant could do whatever we needed it to. As others have said, it was image-recognition based, so tests tended to break when the AUT's interface changed, but because it allowed image masking and fuzzy image recognition and (more importantly) could read text if given the font, it was possible to write tests that had non-zero tolerence to change, and which could be updated with relatively little effort when compared to some other image recognition-based automated testing systems out there.
That said, Eggplant did have two significant flaws when I was evaluating it. The first is that it was a very mac-based piece of software. That's not a problem on its own, of course, but it was the Windows version of the tool that I was examining, and most of its features and interface were designed for a Macintosh operating system. I'm not just talking about on the machine running the AUT, either: The EggPlant user interface, itself, used Mac UI conventions, which are markedly different to those of Windows. It tended to be a little confusing.
EggPlant's second significant flaw was that it was full of crippling bugs. To be fair, when we mentioned these bugs to TestPlant support they were fixed quite rapidly, but the sheer frequency with which showstopper bugs were appearing made it impossible to use the tool without being constantly distracted.
(I should stress that these two flaws may well have been fixed by now. The Windows port of EggPlant was brand new when I was looking at it, and many of the bugs and quirks of the system were probably teething problems.)
In the end, we ended up not using EggPlant, but that was because of the mostly windows-specific flaws I've described above. I imagine that if I'd been running the tool on a Mac, I'd have had a much more positive impression of its capabilities.
I've never used it, however...
The major drawback to this tool is that it is driven using image recognition, this in my opinion is a major drawback. I can guarantee that your application will change and that you will need to go back and recapture most of your images to get your test suite to run again. This might be acceptable when you have 300 tests, but imagine you have 10000+ tests, you suite will take weeks to fix, and before long the effort to keep up with the changing UI will not be worth it.
A better approach would be to pick a tool that best fits the need of the application you are trying to test and not apply a one solution fits all applications.
Lots of reviews, samples, questions and answers here: http://www.sqaforums.com/postlist.php?Cat=0&Board=UBB60
Any AGT system based on image-comparison is inherently brittle. If your AUT is browser-delivered, I highly recommend you adopt Selenium and/or Watir. It's got the best community support, cross-browser compatibility, and is implemented in most major languages.
With text recognition working fine ..i feel this tools seems to be more powerful compared to image recognition tools. This tool is not suitable for drastically changing platforms but if UI or menus are freezed then for mid to long term projects eggplant should satisy most of the requirements of an automation tool
I have now been using this tool for a month and so can give the following feedback:
All in all I would say that for image-heavy application Eggplant is a great tool - just make sure it is the right tool for what you want to use it for - I think you can get a free trial from their website.

I am creating a custom print function for our Sharepoint data as we have some requirements about the way the data is formatted and some of this depends on the content. I am using xml and xsl for this as we are not really allowed to use xslt dataview webparts. I have most of this working but I really miss the ddwrt:FormatDate and FormatDateTime functions. I thought I could just include the namespace in my stylesheet but this does not seem to work. I was hoping to find the code of that namespace, but I can not locate that anywhere. I need a way to duplicate that functionality.
I used reflector to copy the ddwruntime into my own class. I had to comment out some functions. Once that was done, I was able to do my own xslt transform using some code similar to this:
I've had great success taking xslt from sharepoint designer and using them in my custom webpart using this method.
Man, your hands are just always tied. Do the powers that be realize that, by forcing you around different ways, they are getting less standard (and supportable) solutions?
I believe that the ddwrt namespace functions are embedded in some of the Microsoft.SharePoint assemblies, so you can't use them easily outside of the SharePoint context.
However, check out http://www.exslt.org/. I've looked at it in the past, and there seem to be some great capabilities there. I'm not sure how you implement it frankly, but you probably can figure it out.

MANHATTAN, Kan. (WIBW) -- A Manhattan company unveiled new technology Tuesday that's helping move the business forward and create hundreds of jobs.
GTM Sportswear cut the ribbon on their new, state-of-the-art UltraFuseTM Sublimation Center at their Manhattan campus on McCall Road along with Governor Sam Brownback and Kansas Commerce Secretary Pat George.
It's the first of its kind in the Midwest.
GTM's new UltraFuse uniforms are created with an advanced dye sublimation technology in which team graphics, names and logos are heat-infused directly into fabric. The sublimation process allows for greater range of design and color possibilities and results in a light-weight, breathable uniform made for lasting performance, the company said.
"We're more excited about our future than we have been on the past. We're planning on 638 new jobs in Manhattan. Those will cross the range from part-time, full-time, executive, HR, marketing, sales, so it's a big deal for us and ultimately I think it's a big deal for the community and the state of Kansas," said Dave Dreiling, Owner & CEO.
"Instead of each sublimation order taking weeks and months, like our competitors', GTM will be able to fulfill orders for customers in a matter of days," he added.
The new UltraFuse Sublimation Center and the relocation of the GTM Select cheerleading uniform cut-and-sew facility from Texas to Kansas, will lead to significant job growth within the state of Kansas, Manhattan and surrounding communities. Utilizing an incentive package from the Kansas Department of Commerce valued at over $2 million, GTM looks to create nearly 650 new jobs between 2013 and 2017.
"What great news when you have a local boy does well story, adding 600 jobs here in Manhattan. It's great news for the state, great news for Manhattan and it's very heart-warming to see someone that gives back to the community as the Dreilings have done with GTM. We're very proud to be a partner with them and to see this expansion announced," Commerce Secretary Pat George told WIBW.
"The integration of technology and the ability to manufacture and move that very high speed fashion is going to be one of the key parts of the future for us. We're not going to be able to do low skill, low wage items and compete on a global marketplace. But when you see an integration and an ability to take a technology and move it fast in the marketplace like what you see here and getting things done in a day, that's something we're going to be able to compete in...and it's the way to grow and prosper," Governor Brownback said.

Malloy signs tough gun-control law
Some measures take effect immediately
|Connecticut Gov. Dannel P. Malloy, center left, hugs Nicole Hockley, center right, mother of Sandy Hook School shooting victim Dylan Hockley, as Neil Heslin, behind left, father of Sandy Hook shooting victim Jesse Lewis, and Conn. Lt. Gov. Nancy Wyman, right, look on at the conclusion of legislation signing ceremonies at the Capitol in Hartford, Conn., Thursday, April 4, 2013. The legislation signed by Malloy adds more than 100 firearms to the state's assault weapons ban, sets eligibility rules for buying ammunition, and creates what officials have called the nation's first dangerous weapon offender registry. (AP Photo/Steven Senne)
The bill signing came nearly four months after a lone gunman massacred 20 first-graders and six staff members at Sandy Hook Elementary School in Newtown on Dec. 14.
In addition to gun control measures, the bipartisan package that the Newtown tragedy inspired also tackles school security and mental health issues.
"This is a profoundly emotional day I think for everyone in this room and everyone watching what has transpiring today in the state of Connecticut," Malloy said. "We have come together in a way that relatively few places in our country have demonstrated an ability to do."
The bill signing took place in the legislature's Old Judiciary Room. The mood turned from festive to somber as Malloy and Lt. Gov. Nancy Wyman entered accompanied by parents of the Sandy Hook victims and other loved ones.
"We can never undo the senseless tragedy that took place on Dec. 14 or those tragedies that play themselves out on a daily basis in our cities, but we can take action here in Connecticut, and we can make Connecticut towns and cities safer and this bill does that," Malloy said.
Nicole Hockley, the mother of Dylan Hockley, one of the murdered first-graders, said the legislation offers "sensible solutions" to gun violence, school security and mental health issues.
"While I am grateful for the progress being made, I wish more than anything that I was just back home waiting for it to be time for both Dylan and Jake to come home from school," she said, referring to her other son..
Malloy signed the bill into law nearly 10 hours after the House voted 105-44 shortly before 2 a.m. Thursday to give legislation final approval in the General Assembly. The Senate approved the bill 26-10 a little after 6:30 p.m. on Wednesday
The legislation received significant Republican support in the Democratic-dominated legislature.
The support and opposition cut cross party lines, though more Republicans broke ranks than Democrats.
In the House, 13 Democrats opposed the bill and 20 Republicans supported it. In the Senate, two Democrats voted against the bill and six Republicans backed it.

Surrounded by some of the parents of children who were slaughtered by Adam Lanza at the now notorious Sandy Hook Elementary School this past December, SB 1160 became law, and with the swish of a pen your government prostituted this tragedy and made political hay while masterfully playing a bait-and-switch scam.
Now "We The Sheeple" feel oh, so good about this so-called gun bill.
Fact: According to the CDC, 1 in 88 children will be diagnosed as being somewhere on the autism spectrum.
Fact: Adam Lanza was a person with an autism spectrum
Fact: Adam Lanza attended Sandy Hook Elementary School.
Fact: Adam Lanza could have chosen any public place to perpetrate the horrific act he executed, and chose of all places the school he attended which coincidentally was recently the focus of an investigation by the State of CT Department of Education, an investigation requested by a large body of Sandy Hook parents who alleged that the Newtown School District was not providing adequate special education services to students and families like Adam Lanza and his parents.
Fact: Autism Spectrum Disorder is not a mental illness.
Fact: 28 lost their lives in the Sandy Hook Tragedy, not 26.
When you weigh the facts -- all of them -- it becomes very difficult to ignore that CT is turning its back on children with autism spectrum disorders and their families. CT Dept. of Education and Department of Developmental services are two key state agencies that are missing in action when it comes to caring for those in our midst who are most vulnerable. The Governor knows this, the Legislature turned its collective back on the facts, and the survivors bury their dead feeling somehow better. Those of us who are left alive who live with and care for and are children with Autism Spectrum Disorders continue on with little more than nothing in an era where our government deliberately tells us to just go away.
We are no safer for this legislation. "

Brian Kisida: How Field Trips Help Kids
The first gold-standard study of how field trips to an art museum benefit kids finds they expand kids' critical thinking, ability to connect with history, interest in and knowledge about art, and more. These positive effects are three times the size, in several cases, for poor and minority kids. Study coauthor Brian Kisida joins the podcast to discuss "The Educational Value of Field Trips." He discusses the decline of field trips due to decades of emphasis on math and reading test scores, how schools can balance competing demands for art instruction among everything else they have to do, and how, specifically, a free trip to a museum helps children become civilized humans.

I...want... to be wrong.
My girlfriend and I have recently agreed to separate after being together for 15 months. It is quite an ordeal since we (more I) had been talking about marriage. Prayers requested for us both to deal with this, to not hate the other and to not withdraw from God in such a time of distress.

this is my first post on DBA. I'd like to get some clear ideas from you. First of all, this may sound as a discussion but it's not a debate. What I'm looking for could be something like "Yes, they can do whatever they want" or "No, no way!"
Recently I've finished developed a web application. Once it's done I was told to contact Server Area department so they could help me out with uploading my SQL db, grant permissions, etc etc.
So, I did that. They explained how they were used to work and we agreed on uploading a non-operational version db, so we could test permissions etc. They told me to handle them a back up of the db. They would restore it. First thing making noise within me. Shouldnt I be the one restoring back ups? "Well.. I'm no dba yet, I'm sure they know better." was my answer to myself since those could be their practices.
Two days later they send me an email, saying the backup is up and giving some suggestions. They needed my db tables to be normalized and have the proper indexes.
My reaction wasn't sweet. First of all, we both had talked about it and the back up wasnt not the operational one... So, are any conclusions relevant?... and bay the way, tables are all fully normalized. Second, is it ok for them to access that deep? What if the information contained in my db is critical?
Thanks a lot, hope for some insights on this matter.
