If one takes a bundle of wood up high to the mountains so its potential energy increases, would there be obtained more heat by burning it?
Yes (at least in certain circumstances).
For simplicity, let's assume that there's no ash left, and the combustion products are gasses that have the same density as the atmosphere. Now, the state of the system when you burn wood at the top of the mountain looks very much like the state of the system when you burn wood at the bottom of the mountain, so what happened to the energy you expended when you hauled the wood up the mountain? The answer is that the air pressure at the top of the mountain is lower than the air pressure at the bottom, so the fire at the top expends less work displacing air to account for the gasses released in combustion, and so produces more heat.
How about in real life? You would also have to take into account the density of the gasses produced by combustion, and compare the potential energy of these gasses (taking into account the oxygen consumed) with the work done displacing the air. I'm not going to do the research to figure this out, but I think it very likely the answer is also "Yes".
There's been an objection to this answer, based on the fact that if you burn magnesium (say), which consumes oxygen without producing any gaseous combustion products, the fire at the top of the mountain produces less heat than the fire at the bottom. But consider what happens when you burn magnesium. You turn magnesium, Mg, into magnesium oxide, MgO. MgO is heavier than Mg. This means that if you haul magnesium up a mountain, burn it, and then bring the ashes down, you've actually gained energy in this process, since the ashes going down are heavier than the magnesium you took up. Where did this extra energy come from? It comes from the fact that the fire produces more heat on the bottom of the mountain.
Simply, no. Gravitational potential energy cannot be released by burning (combustion).
Gravitational potential energy is quite independent from chemical potential energy (which is ultimately electromagnetic in form). As of fundamental forces, they do not interact. Burning only converts chemical potential energy (related to the binding energy of chemical compounds) to heat (thermal energy and EM radiation). Hence, gravity is basically irrelevant.
Saying this, there may be a small indirect effect of gravity. For a consideration of the possible effect of air pressure (which varies with altitude), see Peter Shor's answer.
Philip Gibbs also makes an interesting point relating to General Relativity. However, this relies on space-time curvature for a fixed observer, and is not as simple as considering gravitational potential.
It seems to me that there is an ambiguity here that is causing some trouble in giving a definitive answer. The question does not specify how the material for the fire is burned, or what it consists of, and this can potentially give rise to different answers. Clearly if we elevate the material to 100km, some material won't burn, because of the lack of an oxygen rich atmosphere. On the other hand, some materials which are already oxygen rich can still be burned.
To lift this ambiguity, and hopefully crystallize the question, lets consider a specific case: You have a sealed insulated contained in which a certain amount of fuel is burned with a fixed amount of oxygen. Further, let's assume there are no ashes left over. (Although it is relatively straight forward to expand this treatment to deal with that case, I think this gives a cleaner question). The container is then opened either at sea level, or at some elevation $H$. The question is now whether the latter process heats the atmosphere more than the first.
The answer to this question is clearly yes. In both cases exactly the same number and type of molecules are produced, and in each case these have the same kinetic energy. However the gas in the container that has been elevated also has some additional energy: the potential energy gained by each molecule due to it's relative elevation in the gravitational field. Once the containers are opened, in each case the gas will eventually come in to equilibrium with the atmosphere. Clearly in the latter case, the total energy of the atmosphere and gas as a whole is now higher than that of the first case by a factor of $m g H$, where $m$ is the mass of the gas released. As the average energy is increased, the temperature must also increase. This is because the possible energy levels for each molecule of the system are the same in both cases, the only way to achieve a Gibbs state with an increased energy expectation value is to increase the temperature.
I hope this can finally resolve this discussion.
The question is about the effects of gravity on energy and can only be answered properly in the context of general relativity. The answer is that more energy is released when the wood is burnt on the top of the mountain, provided everything is measured from the point of view of a fixed observer and we make some assumptions so that we can ignore uninteresting effects.
I'll assume that the strength of the gravitational pull at rest on the mountain top is the same as at the bottom, because otherwise we would have to consider other effects such as the tiny amount of energy in the wood due to its very slight compression under the gravitational field. This would change as the gravitational pull changed. I don't think that is what the question is meant to be about so I'll ignore it. I will just look at the direct effect of the potential energy as the question seems to suggest.
Energy in relativity is a relative concept. It depends on the relative velocity of the various frames of reference. More significantly for this question, it depends on the position of an observer in a gravitational field. This effect can be measured by observing the frequency of radiation and how the measurement changes with altitude. In practice this has been done experimentally for even quite small vertical displacements.
Consider first observers who are fixed relative to the bundle of wood and ask about the difference in released energy they can measure, if either the wood is burnt at the foot of the hill or at the top. By the equivalence principle there can be no difference unless they include the extra energy released when ashes or gasses released return to ground level. To avoid this effect let's assume that the wood is actually burnt within a sealed container so that only the radiated heat can escape. The conclusion then is that the observers must see exactly the same amount of heat released if they are fixed relative to the container.
The more interesting and correct way to look at the situation is from the point of view of observers fixed relative to the mountian. They could be high up in space collecting all the emitted radiation to measure its total energy or they could be doing the same thing from a lower altitude. The height will certainly make a difference to the total energy gathered because radiation is redshifted as it escapes from a gravitational mass. Someone higher up will measure less energy than someone lower down, but that was not the question.
The question is about how a fixed observer will measure the amount of radiated energy released from the combustion. (We can take this to be a fixed observer at large distance so that even people who do not agree that energy conservation makes sense in general relativity will agree that the ADM energy is well defined for this situation)
The answer in this case has to be that when the wood is burnt on the mountain top, more energy will be released. This is because the radiation released from lower down will be redshifted more when it escapes to infinity so less energy will be measured.
Another way to look at this is to consider what happens when someone uses energy to carry the wood to the top of the mountain where it is burnt, and then he returns the ashes and released gasses to ground level harvesting the energy released in doing so. Because the wood was burnt and it released energy, the ashes and gasses will actually weight slightly less afterwards according to mass energy equivalence, even when all the released ashes and gasses are collected. This means that less energy is released when the remains are returned to ground than were expended in lifting the original wood to the top. This would not have happened if the wood was burnt at ground level. By conservation of energy we have to conclude that more energy was released when the wood was burnt on the mountain top. Notice that I am not saying that more energy is released because the ashes return to ground level. The argument tells us that more energy must have been released during the combustion at altitude even before the ashes are returned.
An exercise for the reader is to calculate the extra energy released using both the explanations I have given and show that the answer is the same.
Edit: To show this is not just hot air I'll give a formula.
If $M$ is the mass of the before burning and energy $E$ is released in heat when burnt on the ground then the mass after burning is $M' = M - \frac{E}{c^2}$.
The energy required to lift the wood up the hill a height $h$ is $V = Mgh$ and the enrgy released on taking the wood back down is $V' = M'gh = V - \frac{Egh}{c^2}$
The extra heat generated from burning at altitude is therefore $V-V' = \frac{Egh}{c^2}$
The energy released in the fire is the difference between the energy of the fuel and the energy of the ash.
If you carry wood up a mountain, it gains energy.
But if you burn wood on a mountain, the ashes also have more energy than the same ashes would have at sea level.
The wood has more energy on the mountain, but the ashes also have more energy. If you burn the wood and end up with the ashes, it doesn't matter whether you burn it up high or burn it down low, because the gravitational energy cancels out.
The energy you put into the wood by carrying it up the mountain didn't go away, but the only way you can get it back is by letting the ashes fall down the mountain. (For example you could make the ashes pull a rope attached to a generator.)
(Note that in real life, the "ash" also includes the CO2 and other gases given off by the wood, so to do the experiment properly you'd have to burn it in some kind of large airtight container.)
APPENDIX: It seems like there are two other issues I need to address to satisfy some people.
The first issue could actually result in a measurable difference in the heat released from burning, and that's the difference in atmospheric pressure. What's going on is that when you completely burn the wood in O$_2$, the same amount of internal energy is always released, but what you actually measure is the enthalpy change $\Delta H = \Delta E + p \Delta V$. Let's look at the cases $\Delta V > 0$ and $\Delta V < 0$ separately.
If the burning of the fuel releases more moles of gas than the moles of O$_2$ it consumes (which happens to be the case for burning real wood), then $\Delta V > 0$ so $\Delta H$ is a less negative number (smaller in magnitude) than $\Delta E$. What this means is that some of the energy from the fire went into pushing away the atmosphere rather than producing heat. The pressure $p$ is less on top of the mountain, so from this you would conclude that you get MORE heat after you carry it up the mountain.
You might GUESS that this extra heat energy is somehow related to the gravitational potential energy, but that would be WRONG as I'm about to show.
Let's consider a different fuel that consumes more moles of gas than it releases when burned. (For example, consider burning a strip of magnesium, which undergoes the simple reaction 2 Mg + O$_2$ $\rightarrow$ 2MgO (s).) In this case $\Delta V < 0$, so $\Delta H$ is more negative (greater in magnitude) than $\Delta E$, which means that you actually GAIN energy from the pushing of the atmosphere. Since the pressure is less on top of the mountain, this means that burning a strip of magnesium would provide LESS heat up there than it would at sea level.
What's going on here? The wood and the strip of magnesium both gain potential energy from being carried up the mountain, but one provides more heat up there, and the other provides less! This is because in both cases, the difference between the amounts of heat released at different altitudes is due to the difference in the energy of the atmosphere, NOT the gravitational energy of the solid fuel.
I think the answer is very simple.
Suppose the combustion happens without smoke or gas rising for simplicity. All the mass stays at the same height, but it changes chemical form. There will be some slight variation due to binding energy, etc, but that behaviour is consistent at all heights and independent from the gravitational potential.
So, it is clear that whether you burn your fire at sea level or at 1000m, nothing changes from a gravitational potential standpoint.
This said, there are differences, due to enthalpy, due to the concentration of oxygen in the atmosphere, and so on. Some of these have been considered in other answers and are correct - i think they are unrelated to the basic question though.
Will the increased potential energy of the wood make a difference? No, it can't because the same mass ends up in the same relative place after the combustion, no matter at what height you perform the experiment.

The governor's office went blue, politically, in 2007 when Democratic Gov. Steve Beshear was elected. Now the carpeting is catching up.
Crews began installing blue carpeting on Tuesday evening at a cost of nearly $29,000, replacing the red carpets installed when former Republican Gov. Ernie Fletcher took office in 2003.
The work to replace the red carpeting is expected to be completed by late next week.
Finance Cabinet spokeswoman Pamela Trautner said the carpeting had become worn and needed to be replaced. The new carpeting will be installed in the governor's suite of offices on the first floor of the Capitol and in the first lady's office.
Carpet colors aren't necessarily red or blue, based on the party affiliation of the governor. Former Democratic Gov. Paul Patton had green carpets.

Is there any reason to store maple syrup in the refrigerator? It tastes better when it's a little warmer.
I'll assume that you're talking about pure maple syrup in a glass container; if it's that adulterated pancake syrup then it's probably riddled with preservatives, so any advice here doesn't apply.
Pure maple syrup can and will grow mold on the surface if left in a cupboard. There are several reports of this happening, and although several of those people say that it's OK to simply strain the mold and re-boil the maple syrup, (a) I wouldn't chance it, and (b) that process is hardly any more convenient than simply taking it out of the refrigerator a half-hour earlier and letting it come up to room temperature.
Maple syrup should be stored in the refrigerator. It doesn't have to be, and it will probably take at least a year for it to grow any mold if left in the pantry. But it will last longer in the refrigerator; I've seen refrigerated jars 3+ years old without any mold.
You just need to gently heat it up before serving. I add some water to a large Pyrex measuring cup, microwave the water until it's hot, then set the maple syrup container in the water for a few minutes.
Our maple syrup grew mold while it was refgrigerated in the original plastic bottle (relatively big), after a few months.
Maple can grow mold, but that doesn't mean it's trash. Pour it through a strainer into a pot to remove the chunks, then heat it to 180 degrees for 5-10 minutes (do not boil!!). Scrub and rinse the container and pour the syrup back in. This will kill anything lingering in your syrup, and also the bottle, without hopefully affecting its quality. If the syrup once cooled smells or tastes off, then its trash (not unhealthy per se, as anything icky is now dead, but who wants to eat offtasting syrup)
Above link states that the FREEZER is best for long term storage of pure maple syrup. It is not supposed to be able to freeze solid since it is only 33-35% water.

Resist 1 all such as is profiled by
Rimefire Plate +2 prevent normal / untyped damage, such as is done by an axe or arrow?
Sign up

This is clarified, albeit obliquely in the official FAQ.
Unfortunately, the rules are unclear about what "Resist All" means.
At the very least though we can assume that Resist All reduces damage from all attack types, including normal and untyped damage.
What is less clear: Does "Resist All" mean "resist everything" or "resist all damage" or "resist all damage types"?
If you believe "Resist All" means "Resist All Damage Types" (#3), then you must decide whether "all damage types" includes untyped/normal damage. The rules do not specify that untyped damage is really a type of damage. Each DM will have to decide if this is the case. If untyped is a damage type, then "Resist All Damage Types" should reduce untyped damage; otherwise, it should not. The rules (and logic) are stacked against untyped damage being a type of damage, however.
Some people believe that the Adamantine Weapon magic item provides evidence that Resist All applies to untyped damage. If this is the case, then the "Resist All Damage Types" interpretation probably isn't true. The item description reads:
Also, if your "Resist All" is described as Variable Resistance, then the rules will be different. Variable resistance reduces one type of damage at a time until changed, and activating it is usually a free action that can be done a certain number of times per encounter.
If "Resist All" means "Resist All Damage Types," then it probably doesn't reduce normal / untyped damage, because that's not a type. More likely, "Resist All" means "Resist Everything" or "Resist All Damage." This means that it reduces the damage and may or may not include generic resistance against all other effects.
I would say that "rules as intended" is that you reduce all damage you suffer by 1.
Which would be "Resist Everything" in Adam Dray's answer.

I wish to play Heroes 2 on my Windows 7 machine. My problem is that I have some difficulties starting the application. I know there is DosBOX, but I'm looking for some effective solution for this. Do you know about some helper applications like ScummVM which can be easily configured especially for Heroes 2?
If all else fails I might just install a Windows 98 on a VirtualBOX but before that I want to try out something simpler.

I have a paper form that I ultimately want to us as a background template in SQL Server Business Intelligence Development Studio for a report. When I scan the form, it results in a 5088 x 6600 image - which is way too big. When I try to re-size the image in PS 6 (I know, but it's all we have at my office) the text becomes unreadable.
So basically I want to scan a paper form that is 8.5x11 and have it appear the same aspect ratio on my screen and also have it print out in the same size.

That is NOT a bullying email.
I personally think the guys a jerk but he's not a bully. I recently read a post on facebook by a former Madison news person who mentioned how happy she was because no one had told her what color her hair needed be. There are plenty of news opportunities for unattractive people(radio for example) In television, your looks count. Is my doctor a bully for telling me I'm overweight?Hide replies
He was pretty respectful in the way he worded it. We shouldn't glorify stick figures, but we also should not think it is OK to be obese.
She's not unattractive!
Sorry Jennifer, but if the Muumuu dress fits...
Completely agree this was not bullying. The whole anti bully thing is just one more step in the total 'nerfing' of society.Hide replies
Yeah, just like metal detectors in public schools.
Fred that makes no sense.
Her brother is Ron Livingston *yes...the "Office Space" guy... The job was probably handed to her.
Just an obese woman with a big case of denial.Hide replies
Actually, I found a couple of more photos of her. She is certainly overweight, but she seems to carry a lot of her size in the chest area which is deceiving. Obese many be too strong a term,
She's not in denial about her weight at all.
In the video (around 1:38) she openly and plainly admits to being overweight.
She hasn't denied a damn thing. She admitted she was fat, overweight and obese.
Do you have a problem with understanding plain English?
I wouldn't put him in the bully class either but I would rank him right up there as an arrogant SOB.
Ok...but what does the guy look like? I'm guessing he's either one of those guys who is just naturally skinny even though they eat horribly or he's an obese beast himself and just pushing his insecurities onto someone else.Hide replies
I was thinking he was probably a skinny little twerp. Probably 5'9, weighing 130 lbs. I call that gross.
And a small you know what!
What a shock that the jsonline commentors dont think its bullying.
Just because obesity is a public health problem doesn't mean we should marginalize the overweight - and that's exactly what the letter writer is proposing. I think that being as talented and attractive as Livingston is "role model" enough for TV viewers. It's far better we have a wide range of body shapes on TV than send the message that only the privileged are worthy authorities.Hide replies
People are entitled to their own opinion, and the writer was pretty respectful of her. This is simply Livingston overreacting because she is personally sensitive about it. It is not bullying.
Would you tell them all of this to their face? Probably not, so then it IS bullying. People say and do things on the internet that they would never do in person. If that is the case, it certainly is bullying.
All she had to do was ignore it. It was not like the guys email was abusive.
She did, but her husband and friends did not, so she decided to comment about it, bascially to thank the people who stood up for her.
Of course people are entitled to an opinion, but they aren't entitled to others' agreement and compliance with said opinions. Just what response did that emailer expect? For Livingston to respond that she was grateful for the unsolicited critique, and that she would leave her job and her employer until she lost X pounds, at which point she could be considered a person worthy of her already existing audience?
I can see a contrast between the emailer's tone and Livingston's response (which will undoubtedly lead to more criticism), but one should not expect an attack on someone's body, and their fitness for the job, to go over well.
FredCity - I can understand her being upset by it, but to classify it as bullying is clearly over the top. She obviously is very sensitive about her size, and chooses to handling it in a defensive manner. After all, she could just embrace the truth and say that she was committed to getting fit in 2013, or something like that.
Jrr - that's one possibility.
You are right Fred onm the marginilization of overweight people. But I want you and all of your respondents listen and digest every word she says over the entire statement.. She is using the letter as an opportunity to break the cycle of bullying as a learned behavior by young people in our schools. Yes she could ignore that, anjd I am sure it would be less painfull, but she hits on that her main message and some other good points as well.
Wow, Jrr, maybe you really do get it on some level. She is very sensitive about her weight, therefore, pointing it out is like picking at a scab, just making it hurt worse. She already knows she is overweight, and if she is like most overweight, has tried since she was a child to conform to society, but constantly being reminded that you are fat does not make you skinny.
She is fat.

As you consider pursuing your online degree at Dakota Wesleyan University (DWU), you might be wondering, quite literally, "What does online learning look like at DWU?"
Let me walk you through what you can expect.
After you log into the Digital (Virtual) Campus from our website dwu.edu, you will then go to the "My Courses Dashboard" screen to access your courses, due dates, and recent messages. Once you click on a course, you will see the page is divided up into three areas. The far left side of the screen has all of your course information, such as syllabus, readings, assignments, etc.
The center area describes the learning activities. You can print PDFs of the syllabus and the assignments—many of our students appreciate this feature. Content is also delivered via podcasts, videos, PowerPoint presentations, and Flash animation.
You will find the pages easy to understand and navigate. Our clearly displayed learning outcomes make sure you understand what the professor expects.
You can also post questions at the bottom of any screen and the professor's answer will appear there, too. When you post a question or participate in a forum discussion, your name and photo will appear. The same is true for your professors and classmates.
On the far right you will see announcements and messages. You can also see who is currently online and you can instant message with them. You can also post to the "coffeehouse," which is an open-ended forum generally used for socializing or encouragement.
You will learn with a cohort, meaning that you will move through your program with many of the same students. You will quickly develop a supportive community, celebrating successes and helping each other through any challenges—in the classroom or in life.
If at any point you have technical difficulties or any other questions or concerns, you can reach out to your professor—or the help desk—and ask for assistance. All are very responsive.
Still have questions or concerns about how your courses will work? That's okay. Our orientation, offered three weeks before class starts, will take you through everything you need to know to succeed in your online degree program at DWU.
If you would like to find out more about our fully online M.B.A. program, I invite you to register for one of our 30-minute M.B.A. Info Webinars. If you are interested in our RN-B.S. program, please contact us to request more information.

There has been a lot of discussion in the past about wanting to be able to view comment history and recent activity like votes and such, but nothing has come about it yet (seems to be very popular, though).
I imagine that at some point in time the commenting system will grow in overall robustness. I just can't really say when that will happen. Maybe in 6 to 8 weeks.
Not without going back and actually looking. I suppose the team feels upvotes are pretty trivial when it comes to comments. Their triviality is the reason why you can't edit comments, or downvote them. They're a dime a dozen, and they don't earn you any reputation either.
It's not real time, but you could query the data dump to see the comments you've left along with their score at the time of the snapshot of the database.
Use something like this:
You can also use it to work out how close you are/were to getting a Pundit badge.
I agree - I find it odd that you can't easily find this information when the ultra-rare Pundit badge exists to specifically encourage excellent comments. It doesn't seem unreasonable to want to know whether even one of your comments, lost somewhere on the site, has achieved a rating of 10... (although I don't think I've ever got above a 2 for a comment, so no danger there for me personally - but then, there's no way for me to actually know that ;).
I agree. Although watching the votes is more like an ego issue, knowing there has been activity on a thread that you posted in can be relevant. I wrote a mini-app to watch these things. It's not pretty, but it works (for me, anyway).
Expanding on random's hint to use the data dumps, here's some stored queries to see how close you are to a Pundit badge:
New version:
Using API 2.2:
Old version:
Here's an API link (using version 1.1, I know):

The set of vertices of $Q(d,n)$ is $\{0,1,\ldots,n-1\}^d$ and every edge is formed by all vertices having $d-1$ coordinates fixed and the last one getting all possible values (so it has $dn^{d-1}$ edges).
I'm trying to prove that $Q(n,n)$ has the following property: if $S$ is some subset of its edges and $U$ is their union, then $|S|\leq\frac{|U|\log|U|}{n\log n}$. I'm sure that's true, extreme cases (when the inequality becomes an equality) being those when $U$ is a hypercube of lesser dimension and $S$ consists of all edges in $U$, but I don't know how to approach the proof. Could you give any hints?

plx do not postpone it
plx do not postpone it
can you expand on that? you mean there IS a way to edit data? sorry, have spent mty life playing the pc version am totally new to FMH!
Absolutely gutted this won't play on my x10 as it's firmware 2.1 , would of bought this aswell
Any idea when the game goes live?
We're estimating it will be live at about 6:30pm (BST), but it's impossible to say the exact time, so don't shout at us if it's not perfect. It's all on target to be there today though
Damn my Xperia x10 Mini pro is 2.1 so can't buy this
Bought, paid for and downloading
Works great on my Galaxy S2! Started my career already
First impressions: there's some bad Android handling. You have your own keyboard, why? Just call up whatever keyboard is set to run. Also the back button dumps you to the Home screen, despite most (all?) views having a virtual back button so this would be easy to implement properly.
My god it runs quick on my SGS
I love it, runs smooth and fast on my asus tf and my xperia play, thank you sooooooooo very much
I agree, give them a chance to get it out there running and then learn and then take it from there, im just so happy weve actually got it
Brought and installed on my sgs2 and asus transformer. looks great on SGS2. Also looks good on my Asus tablet. however it does not make most of screen size. which is a shame.
Bought and now playing. Its awesome, thank you to everybody involved in creating and testing the game. Fantastic work!
IS there a season limit??
You can't tap on names in news articles, so for example going from a news article I have about Welbeck's contract to actually viewing him and perhaps bidding on him will take quite long.
I'm enjoying this, a few quibbles are inevitable but this is very promising!
If the main issue is stability, would there be any way of working out the ideal season limit based off the phones specs? Would there be a method for us to say - bah, who cares about instability!? and keep on playing in the knowledge it could insta-crash?
EDIT: Lol, I love how Marc says he'll be here for support, stays up from early in the morning chatting to us; and then the moment it's released is when he decides to have a break. Talk about rotten luck
*If you haven't guessed already I put a lot of trust in our customers generally to guide me in which way our products should evolve and generally let me know what we're doing right and wrong.
Works pretty fast in the Galaxy Note, but the game doesn't stretch to full screen (800 x 1280 pixels) that is a shame with this huge 5.3" screen
The intro screens are in full screen mode, the game it's not.
Just setting up a game now, my mouth is watering at the prospect of never being bored again... can we add/remove leagues? Wouldn't mind starting in Scotland but with the option of moving to England.
Is there a way to put players i dont want to see in my squad screen in the reserves? Cant seem to find it yet.
BTW, best feature so far for this version (and it BEATS the PC/Mac version)--you can call back loaned out players in your first season!!! That's awesome!!!
played it on the tube on the way home from the office, the journey went very quickly! love it! Thanks again Marc.
Quick question, I cant seem to find a way of showing the players preferred foot. e.g left or right or both. Is that not displayed? Also it looks like I cant view/hire staff, before I use to get a good scout and take his word on player purchases, if I scout players now, is the scout a good man to trust as I cant see how good he is (playing with mk dons)
Footedness isn't visible I'm afraid - amongst other things there simply isn't space available on the screen.Quick question, I cant seem to find a way of showing the players preferred foot. e.g left or right or both.

There aren't seperate staff in the game - the scouts you're given are adequate but not perfect, that is they should give sensible feedback but don't replace a good managers judgement.
Got it going on my phone and tablet. Should be £6.99 well spent.
Any help with my question a few posts up Marc?
I've got a 10.2" tablet and it doesn't show in full screen Not a dealbreaker, but not ideal. Seems fine on my Desire.
Thank you so much Alari!
On the game, why does confirming on a tactic screen e.g. after changing player roles bring one out of tactics? Its annoying if you're making adjustments to each area i.e. changing set piece takers then player roles etc especially pre-match.
Edit: I just realised that there is no need to confirm until all adjustments are made!

Yeah, huge black borders on my Ainol Elf, would really appreciate a 1024x600 skin, but I guess it's not a very popular resolution. It runs super quick though!
I'm not sure if this is a bug or if I'm not using the interface correctly, but if I have more than one job offer, there doesn't seem to be a way to view the others without rejecting the first offer?
Fantastic work guys, runs great, very impressed and very grateful. I have a samsung galaxy s2 and its perfect. On the Asus transformer it runs fine, just needs full screen nd that will be perfect too (i know your waiting on feedback, though am pretty sure you will go with the standard mainstream tablet of 1200x800 as thats very common)
Just one thing though, and am sure others will pick this up, its bad android practise for the back button to exit the game, at least without asking are you sure you want to exit, ive seen this quite often in other games, and people will moan about it. Its common practise for android folk to press the back button when they want to go back to a screen, now since this is the ios port, all the buttons are onscreen (which is fine btw they should be in games and not hidden away) but people will hit the back button by accident out of habbit, thus you may wish to consider including it as a feature that it takes you to a back page, or adding a pop up box asking are you sure you wish to exit the game.
Luckily android has proper multitasking as when i did this i found my self back to my homescreen, however when i held the android home button down for a few secs to bring up recent tasks, it took me straight back to where i was so i didnt loose anything.
just a suggestion guys, great stuff, got my weekend all planned out now
id like to buy the game, but i live in Germany, and in the compatability window, it says that the game cant be installed im my country.... is there any way i can still play? ive tried hotspotshield, but even in the american play store, im still told i cant install the game on my device
Enjoying this so far. Just a shame about the big borders on my Galaxy Nexus so I'm selfishly hoping that support for that will be added.
Thanks Marc ,it is really super game!!!! I have lg optimus 2x p990 ,and it working fantastik!!!! Now i have what i will do in bus when i go to my work every day . In 22 aprils i will have birthday ,and this game for me really very very good present!!!
ok, thats too bad, thanks for the response
I use Google Chrome on my laptop, which isn't powerful enough to run FM12. If I access the Play store, will I be able to purchase FM on Android and play it on my laptop? Or is that the silliest question ever asked on these forums?
first you have to go and buy the app,
then there is a chrome plugin that lets you download apps from the google play website direct to your laptop
Now that you have the apk (thats the file type of the app) you need to download somthing to play the app on
theres quite a few programmes that do this, number one in a google search is called bluestacks, ive never tried it as well i have a phone and pc so i duno why you would want to? but neway thats how you do it.
Btw it probs wont play well since its designed for touch screen and not a mouse.

I love you SI
Curiously why is it $9.99 USD and $10.49 AUD when the Australian Dollar is stronger than the US Dollar, $1 AUD = $1.03 USD.
And £1 = $1.59, so why is the game £6.99 instead of £6.49
Rather enjoying the game right now on my Samsung Nexus. Just a shame about the black borders on this 1280x720 screen. I understand the reason why though. Thanks for the game guys!
Crikey this might actually work on my T-Mobile Vivacity (480x800, Gingerbread, 800mhz CPU). I may consider this even though I have it already on my iPod, as I also have an android tablet (Advent Vega, currently running 2.2 but i'll likely flash to 3.0 at some stage).
Here's my vote for skins to support the Galaxy Nexus (1280 * 720) and Transformer Prime (1280 * 800)
Loving being able to sync saves between the two devices too! :-D
@Marc...out of interest how are the first 24 hours sales figures looking? Did you have any targets? Would be gutted if this was not continued next season due to lack of demand.
I'm optimistic the game will perform well enough to spark an on-going series on Android; time will tell ...
will the fmh be available in austria? Or do you have the same legal reasons like in germany?
Justice for Galaxy Note!
Quick question on the game if i may... can i offer a player a contract who is with another club and there contract is expiring? Or do I have to wait until its expired?
Also what is the situation with loans. What is the amount allowed per season? And how many at one time?
Thanks (nearly completed my first season - still loving it!)
The rules you're under in this regard should be visible on the competition rules page (and again vary according to where you're managing as irl).Also what is the situation with loans. What is the amount allowed per season? And how many at one time?
Glad you're enjoying the gameThanks (nearly completed my first season - still loving it!)
320x480: iPhone <4 / the standard low-res Android (Most first-gen devices, some low-end ones)
480x800: the standard normal-res Android (Galaxy S2, Most HTC devices)
480x854: Motorola thinking they're funny...
640x960: iPhone >4 / "retina" screen Android devices (Meizu M9?)
1280x720: HD Android devices (One X and Galaxy Nexus)
1280x800: most Android tablets and some 'phones' (Samsung Galaxy Note)
1024x768: iPad / a couple of minor Android tablets (Archos I believe)
1920x1200: A few already confirmed Android tablets (Asus Transformer Infinity)
2048x1536: iPad 3 / potentially a new Samsung Android tablet if rumours are true
The list goes on. It's not the easiest thing in the world to cater for... I mean, a dynamic UI would be amazing, but that'd probably mean a full rewrite of the game?
(of course this is also the resolution of the popular Kindle Fire but at the moment this still isn't available outside the US, not to mention the fact that the game hasn't made it to Amazon's app store yet)
Is it possible to take a screenshot while I'm in the game? So that I could publish some pics on the net. Thanks.

Only some Android devices allow the taking of screenshots, so it really does depend on what you are using.
HTC Wildfire S
Sorry to hear that. Thanks anyway. I'll manage to do something, I hope.
can i change data , for example money ,or players clubs? Thanks
WOW...I haven't logged onto these forums for a while now till today when I saw FM 2012 handheld was available on the Play Store for Android so I had to log on and post! The last FM game I bought was FM 2011 for the PC...I have bought every game except FM 2012 for the PC, even though FM 2011 for the PC was a massive disappointment for me due to the complexity and how overerly complicated tactics became, I gave up on FM2012 for the PC and will never buy again. I currently am playing CM 97/98 on my Android device (Samsung Galaxy Note) using DOSBOX so its good to see something that is current, I think Sigames have made an excellent decision in moving from iPhone ...I just hope the Android version will never become overly complex like the PC version.
It will be available more languages in future like portuguese?
Thanks and good work
Thanks for the kind words, much appreciatedThanks and good work

where is the best deal on large glass mixing bowls?
i can find several sets that have 3 or 4 but only one of them is even close to big. i make bunches of cookies when i bake, and need several of the larger sized bowl without having to store(give away) a bunch of the smaller sized. and i find the plastic tend to self-destruct from time. any ideas?
3 Answers answer
I've got a few OXO plastic mixing bowls that are really nice. They've got a grippy rubber bottom on them that adds traction against the counter top which is pretty handy. The wall angle and curve of the bottom is designed to help mixing as well. Ours were a set that my wife and I got for a wedding gift 10 years ago.
As far as glass bowls go, prices are pretty much seem to be the same from store to store. I'd have a look around Amazon to see what you can come up with as far as shipping deals go. Another good place to look would be Costco or Sams Club.
If you're interested, here are the ones that I really like. Our handles are different, though. The older ones seem like a better design.
Decent set w/Super Saver shipping:
You don't say how large your "large" bowl needs to be. Do you really need a set, or will multiple large bowls be better? Do you want only glass, or will some other non-plastic (like stainless steel) do the job?
I have a couple of very large glass bowls that now sit on the shelf because they are simply too heavy. The ones I actually use are stainless steel, because they are light, strong, don't leech chemicals, and don't break if I do happen to drop one.
A good one: http://www.amazon.com/Fox-Run-12-Quart-Stainless-Mixing/dp/B0000VLQ0C/ref=sr_1_2?s=home-garden&ie=UTF8&qid=1326642876&sr=1-2

So basically I have a buddypress website with a static homepage.

I just need to know what I am looking for, is it widgets or sidebars or something else?

We laid Dim to rest yesterday, thankfully with an Orthodox service (I had no idea he was actually baptized (we never talked religion or faith), but apparently he was! Glory to God!).We received a not-so-cryptic message from Cassie today about "meeting [Dmitri] soon." No one can get a hold of her at the moment.Please pray that another tragedy hasn't occurred.Thank you.
the best way of conveying God's love to people is through your own presence and deeds.
Today would have been Dmitri's 37th birthday. I know it's not "traditional" to mark a birthday with prayer for the dead, but, if you can remember, please pray for the soul of Dmitri (and for the continued healing of his fiancee Cassandra) some time today.Thank you.
I got nothing.

I am using SimpleHTMLDOM to scrape pages (in servers other than mine).
The basic implementation is
try {
$html = file_get_html(urldecode(trim($url)));
} catch (Exception $e) {
echo $url;
foreach ($html->find('img') as $element) {
$src = "";
$src = $element->src;
if (preg_match("/\.(?:jpe?g|png)$/i", $src)) {
$images[] = $src;
This works fine but it returns all images from the page, including small avatars, icons, and button images. Of course I'd like to avoid these.
I then tried to insert within the loop as follows
if (preg_match("/\.(?:jpe?g|png)$/i", $src)) {
$size = getimagesize($src);
if ($size[0] > 200) {
$images[] = $src;
That works well on a page like
But in others it returns numerous errors.
For example
gives a bunch of errors like

Severity: Warning

Message: getimagesize(/images/snn-logo-comments.png): failed to open stream: No such file or directory

Severity: Warning

Message: getimagesize(/images/close-gray.png): failed to open stream: No such file or directory
which seem to happening because of relative URLs in some images. The problem here is that this crashes the script and then no images a loaded, with my Ajax box loading forever.
Do you have any ideas how to troubleshoot this?

Yes, but he was a music critic, not a dance critic, hence the implied "outsider" status--not from New York, but from dance.

It's possible that, considering the depth of insider knowledge that the rest of the Times' dance writers have, bringing in a relative outsider to the NYC dance community could be a form of balancing the points of view.

Impressive and unforgettable stuff.
When Nureyev danced Romeo to Margot Fonteyn's Juliet, he took his time to kneel and kiss the hem of her dress with as much piety as if this were the Holy Grail. And even though Fonteyn was 56 the one time I saw her dance Juliet, her reaction to his gesture was one of innocent wonder pitched on a tidal scale. After looking down at him in amazement, she threw her arms up and looked up through them to the heavens in glory, held them motionless, then brought them down, down over her face, down over her body, down in a wave that made the whole house gasp in emotion. I was 20. If there was a single moment in my life that turned me into a ballet obsessive, that was it.

While I've always disliked R&J (the episodic score forces too many boring crowd/sword scenes), it is a great star vehicle. Certainly Macaulay takes a star-oriented perspective in his article. I wonder how he'll respond to Peter Martins's non-star production (although SAB students really are often stars...), and to other ballets of more choreographic substance (perhaps his Four Temps remarks are a promising clue)?
... And so, from the back of the fourth ring, I saw City Ballet dance Balanchine's masterwork "The Four Temperaments" ...
Nothing in "The Four Temperaments" was narrative, but all of it was dramatic, and nothing I had ever seen in any theater had been of such power. This wasn't sexy; it was too volcanic for that. Some 28 years later I am still haunted by the memory of the bellowslike alternation of through-the-body convex and concave shapes made by Bart Cook's Melancholic and Merrill Ashley's Sanguinic.
At the least, I will be anxiously awaiting his reviews in the Times, and I cannot remember that ever being true before...

I'd also put a vote in for more NYT coverage of serious ballet throughout North America -- especially by its new senior critic.
The US and Canada are blessed in having a large, intricate ballet culture and institutions. These spread all the way down to local schools in the Carolinas or the NorthWest, and includes companies in Winnepeg or Miami or Arizona that do superb work under very difficult conditions and with little in the way of national attention.
Ballet in North America is structured like a pyramid. NYCB, ABT and NBofC may be at the apex. But every pyramid needs a strong base. The NYT, which aspires to be a truly "national" newspaper, needs give serious attention to that base. It can do this by reviewing more work and artists in parts of other country, and by putting more effort into documenting the rich cross-fertilization of dancers, choreographers, works, and influences from bottom-to-top as well as top-to-bottom.

It is fairly well-known among set-theorists that Keith Devlin's 1984 book "Constructibility" has flaws in its initial development of fine structure theory. (See Lee Stanley's review 1 of the text for the Journal of Symbolic Logic, for example.) I've had the book on my shelf for twenty years now, and although there is much in there that I find interesting, the fact that I know there are some errors in it means that I've been reluctant to invest a lot of time working through it. So, this brings me to my questions for the experts:
How badly do these flaws mar the rest of the book? Is the damage localized to the initial development of properties of the the J-hierarchy, or is it much more widespread?
Of particular interest to me are the following questions:
1) Is Devlin's treatment of the Covering Lemma for L on solid ground?
2) What about his treatment of morasses?
I know that there are other sources for this material, but I've always appreciated Devlin's writing style.

A year after being denied the CKL 3-peat by Haven in a narrow one-point decision, the Pratt High School girls crosscountry team recaptured the league title by throttling the Wildcats 27-41. "The girls took care of business this year," PHS head coach Kathy Hitz said.
The Pratt High boys, despite not running at full strength, were able to manage a 3rd place finish among a strong field of CKL teams. With 82 points, the Greenbacks trailed only Hesston (43) and Halstead (49). "We competed well," Hitz said of the boys effort.
The top individual finisher for the Frogs of Distance was freshman Halle Helfrich who took 2nd (15:04) behind Hillsboro standout Emily Sechrist.
A pair of Lady Greenbacks joined Helfrich on the All-League medal stand. Adele Loomis and Nichole Moreland went 6-7 (16:07,16:08) to put Pratt in the team standings driver's seat.
Cassidy Cronister took 15th (16:56) and Morgan Strong 23rd (17:49) to seal the deal. Pratt also got very strong performances from their freshman pushers. Kara Nixon (24th 17:55) was right behind Strong, and Tori Hassler (26th 18:06 was only another spot back.
The girls team got high finishes out of their leaders, and their supporting cast grouped up well—a good formula for success.
The boys were able to pull off a 3rd place team finish despite lead runner Joseph Loomis competing at less than 100% as he recovers from an injury. Top runner for Pratt was Brendan Pribil who took 14th (18:30). Zach Will was 16th (18:48). Brody Cronister, Joseph Loomis and Chance Reh rounded out the Greenback scoring, taking 18th (18:49), 19th (19:05) and 20th (19:11) respectively. "The boys packed up nicely," observed Coach Hitz.
Pushers for PHS were Will Fellhoelter (24th 19:17) and Caleb Hitz (36th 19:39).
In JV boys action it was Hayden May 3rd 20:00; Cooper Crump 4th 20:14; Josh Powell 12th 21:16; Jacob Berry 13th 21:17; Jacob Schaefer 26th 23:37. Paloma Diaz won the girls JV race in 18:02 and Chloe Cannata was 4th 19:10.
Next up for the Greenback harriers is Regional, Saturday October 26 at McPherson.

Auburn Montgomery junior Tina Neese, a communication and dramatic arts major from Montgomery, has been passed through the Alabama Conference of Theatre to the regional level of the Southeastern Theatre Conference professional acting auditions in both the acting and singing categories.
The conference vigorously screens and accepts only 30 percent of undergraduate, graduate and semiprofessional actors competing for coveted audition spots at the Spring Convention. In March, Neese will audition for more than 100 theatre companies for future employment.
A graduate of Booker T. Washington Magnet High School, Neese has starred in several productions at Theatre AUM including "A Delicate Balance," "The Great Easter Egg Hunt," "Servant of Two Masters," "Six Characters in Search of an Author," and "Doubt." When she is not performing in a show for Theatre AUM, she can be found backstage working as sound and/or light board operator or stage manager.
For the past two summers, she has worked with Theatre West Virginia, where her roles have included Alifair in "Hatfields and McCoys," Nikko the flying monkey in "The Wizard of Oz," and a fence wife in the new musical "Rocket Boys." She has also served as the fight and pyro assistant for the theatre.
In addition to the honor of participating in professional theatre auditions this spring, Neese was also recently nominated for the Kennedy Center American College Theatre Festival National Stage Management Fellowship.

For a real number $x$, we define the (Liouville-Roth) irrationality measure of $x$, here denoted by $\mu(x)$, as the infimum, with respect to the poset $(\mathbb{R}_0^+ \cup \{\infty\}, \le)$, of the (possibly empty) set of all real exponents $s > 0$ such that the inequality $$0 < \left|x - \frac{m}{n}\right| < \frac{1}{n^s} $$ holds true for finitely many pairs $(m,n) \in \mathbb{Z} \times \mathbb{N}^+$ (with the convention that $\sup(\emptyset) := \infty$).
Now, fix $\tilde{x} \in \mathbb{R}$ and let $M: \mathbb{R} \cup \{\infty\} \to \mathbb{R} \cup \{\infty\}$ be the Möbius transformation $$ x \mapsto \left\{\begin{array}{ll} (ax+b)/(cx+d) & \text{if }x \ne \infty \\ a/c & \text{if }c \ne 0 \text{ and }x = \infty \\ \infty & \text{if }(c = 0 \text{ and }x = \infty) \text{ or }(c \ne 0 \text{ and }x = - d/c)\\ \end{array}\right., $$ where $a,b,c,d \in \mathbb Q$ and $ad-bc \ne 0$. It is then possible to prove that $\mu(\tilde{x}) = \mu(M(\tilde{x}))$ provided that $c\tilde{x}+d \ne 0$, and here come my questions:
Q1. Is there a "standard" reference for this? I checked Mahler's Lectures on Diophantine Approximations and Schmidt's Diophantine Approximations and Diophantine Equations, but the result doesn't seem to be mentioned in either of them. Q2. From the historical point of view, who was the first one who proved the result? Maybe J. Liouville, in his early work in diophantine approximation theory?
Thank you beforehand for any help.

What is velopharyngeal insufficiency?
Velopharyngeal Insufficiency (VPI) is a condition in which the soft palate, or the back moving part of the roof of the mouth, does not close the nose off well enough during speech. This allows too much air to go through the nose during talking. This can be a problem because most sounds in English require good pressure to be built up in the mouth, with no air escaping through the nose. People with VPI are often described as having "nasal" sounding speech.
Who can have velopharyngeal insufficiency?
A child can have VPI after a cleft of the palate is repaired because the palate may remain too short or not move well. Children who have never had a cleft of the palate may also have VPI due to being born with a short palate or having poor muscle control of the palate. Some children who have Apraxia of speech may have VPI because of difficulties coordinating muscle movements of the mouth, including the palate, for speech.
What are the symptoms of velopharyngeal insufficiency?
VPI may result in speech that sounds too nasal (hypernasality). VPI can also make it hard for children to build up the oral pressure needed for many speech sounds. If you lose too much air out the nose, then some sounds may come out "weak" orally. Also, VPI can result in what is called audible nasal air emission or a "snorting" noise with selected sounds, especially those sounds that require lots of oral air pressure.
When should a child be referred for a specialized speech evaluation for VPI?
Any time there is too much air coming out of the nose during speech, we recommend that child receive a speech evaluation to determine whether they have VPI. Because this speech problem rare and requires specialized training and often times specialized instrumentation for evaluation, we recommend an ACH Speech Department evaluation. We can help determine if the child's symptoms should be addressed in speech therapy or if the ACH ENT physician may need to take the next step with a nasendoscopy. We can collaborate with the local speech pathologist about therapy procedures and discuss what to expect over time.
Who can refer for an initial VPI evaluation and how can it be made? The primary care physician can make this referral through our ACH Appointment Center by calling 501-364-4000. Many times, the local speech pathologist has suspected VPI and informed the parent that a medical evaluation is needed. Most of these initial evaluations will require an appointment with the Speech Pathologist as well as with the ENT physician on the same day. These appointments should be requested as "Speech Clinic appointment for VPI" followed by an "ENT appointment" on the same day. This first appointment is not the same as being scheduled for VPI Clinic which is done after the initial evaluation, if appropriate.

Given that wine was used by Christ at the last supper. It is valid to use grape juice in the remembrance of the Lord's Table?

closed as primarily opinion-based by svidgen, Caleb♦ Jul 13 '13 at 10:54
Many good questions generate some degree of opinion based on expert experience, but answers to this question will tend to be almost entirely based on opinions, rather than facts, references, or specific expertise.If this question can be reworded to fit the rules in the help center, please edit the question.
Yes, wine was most likely used by Jesus during the Last Supper, just as the cups in the Passover Feast are typically wine in today's observances. Yet, there is not prescriptive command to use wine nor is there any prohibitive command against using grape juice.
If this were a significant issue, then it is reasonable to assume that the Bible would contain either a prohibitive or prescriptive reference somewhere. After all, there are quite a few books, and Passover (which is what Jesus celebrated as the Last Supper) had been observed since Moses.
So, the conclusion is that it is not a significant issue and neither moral nor immoral to use wine or grape juice. We do use the fruit of the vine, following the pattern in Passover celebrations, but the presence of fermentation is immaterial.
The remembrance of the death, burial, and resurrection of Jesus Christ is supreme.
I might add that if you happen to live in a desert where no grapes can be grown, it would seem improper to assert that you could not celebrate communion since you would have neither grape juice nor wine.
The earliest recorded formulation of the Lord's Supper reads:
These are the words that many Protestant denominations use to institute the sacrament. Which cup was Jesus talking about? It was almost certainly one of the cups of wine that are traditionally associated with the Passover celebration. While there's an off-chance it was just grape juice, it's more likely to have been strong wine diluted with water.
In contrast with the cup, we can be pretty certain that the bread was unleavened as befits the Passover. However, Christian tradition does not universally require the bread at the Lord's Supper to be unleavened. The issue of what type of bread to use turned out to be the final straw that precipitated the Great Schism.
So can we drink grape juice instead of wine for the Lord's Supper? I'll let Paul take a crack at that question:
The churches I normally attend use grape juice. But when I go to a church that uses wine, I drink up. I imagine the reverse is true. As to whether communion at my church is valid: that's another question entirely.
I would say it is not valid. The wine at the Last Supper — Jesus' Passover celebration — was fermented because that was the tradition. It was an oral tradition later codified in the Mishnah, but it was still what Christ did, so it should be when we Do this in remembrance. It's not simply an act, it's a re-creation. I can see that the theology of the Eucharist looms large in the answer for "valid" or "invalid"!
The reason there is no prescription in the Bible is because wine is wine: grape juice fermented anyway so there wasn't a choice. It would never had occurred to the writers to say otherwise because grape juice didn't really exist (only as a precursor to wine). There is no proscription either, so there is no basis not to use wine. Indeed, Paul admonishes Timothy in 1 Tim 5:23 to take wine.
Having just checked, the Catholic Code of Canon Law (Can. 924) and the Canons of the Church of England (Can. B17) do prescribe wine. Other Churches may do likewise — and in those Churches it is certainly not valid to use unfermented juice.
To answer Narnian's edit, if there is no alternative then in extremis of course something else can be used. But if wine can conveniently be obtained, then to do otherwise is not valid.
What exactly does the Bible command regarding communion? 1 Cor 11:25, "In the same manner He also took the cup after supper, saying, 'This cup is the new covenant in My blood. This do, as often as you drink it, in remembrance of Me.'"
That's pretty much it. If someone can point to a reference with more specific instructions, please post. But from that, I don't see how you could prove Biblically that it must be either wine OR grape juice. It just says we should drink from a cup.
The Gospels don't actually say the cup contained wine. They say, "the fruit of the vine", which could be wine or grape juice. But in any case, nothing in the Bible says that the contents of the cup are an essential component of the sacrament. There are many details of the ceremony as Jesus performed it. In the absence of specific commands, which of these details are essential and which are irrelevant? The Bible clearly says that the Last Supper took place on Passover, yet I've never heard a Christian say that we can only perform the sacrament on Passover. We are told that 13 people were present, yet I've never heard a Christian say that the ceremony is invalid unless exactly 13 people are present. Every church I've ever been in serves the wine or grape juice in glasses, while the Bible clearly says that Jesus used a cup. Etc. Perhaps you'll say I'm just bringing up silly and ridiculous points. But why is the contents of the cup essential but the cup itself is not? Who says, and on what basis?
I would consider it distinctly odd and irreverent to have a communion service with iced tea and donuts. But I really can't make a scriptural argument against that, I just wouldn't think it "feels right".
The United Methodist Church uses grape juice for communion. Here's their reasoning.
So no, no Biblical reason, just a practical reason.
lets see. they had water, they had grapes, oops they could have made grape juice. nothing in the bible was done by accident. Jesus chose wine for a reason. we may not understand what that reason was but we should defend and honor his choice....
In the Bible there is a routine reference to the fruit of the vine. Which is a direct reference to Jesus. Grape juice is used today because it and only it can be representative of the Blood of Jesus. In Biblical times the grapes were fermented, which made for strong drink ( wine) as we would know it today. But the difference in the time of Jesus is that the fermented grapes were mixed with three parts water to one part fermented grapes, which would weaken the drink. The juice from the grape is the representation of the Blood of Jesus. So in that case it is not only proper, but also a Biblical must that the church use grape juice.

Fan Appreciation Night Going To Be A Good One At SSP
By Ben Deatherage
(Photo Courtesy of Alyssa Jones)
Banks, Oregon- Sunset Speedway Park will be a busy place come Saturday June 21st for Fan Appreciation Night. Classes in action will include the Northwest Extreme Late Model Series, Northwest Extreme Sprints, IMCA Modifieds, Northwest Extreme Modifieds, Street Stocks, Pure Stocks, Dwarf Cars, Womens, and 4-Bees. Due to so many events happening and so many classes running there will be no heat races ran.
As always we will open up the track for fans to get up close and personal with their favorite drivers to get autographs, hero cards, pictures, etc. but there will be even more offered as the night goes along. SSP will also have Fast Time Race Simulators on hand to give you the chance to race a Sprint Car, balloon artists, face painters, vendor booths, giveaways and more including the musical group The Garrisons.
The Northwest Extreme Late Model Series will visit the "Banks Bullring" for the second time this year. Greg Walters was the winner in the lone visit to SSP so far.
The IMCA Modifieds have yet to see a repeat winner in 2014 with Bubba Foster, Rob Ireland, Matt Jenner, and Doug Lockwood have been the victors in the current campaign. In Northwest Extreme Modified action Oscar Luckman has scored two wins while last week Brandon Potter managed to break his streak.
Street Stocks have been really competitive this year with John Ireland winning twice but Brian Roden and Earl Claypool Jr. each achieving one victory a piece. The complete opposite has happened in the Pure Stocks as Trevor LaBarge has won both main events the class has competed in.
The Dwarf Cars compete in a two track series between Sunset and Cottage Grove. Ryan Martinez has won has three wins between the two tracks including the last time he was at SSP and Corey Esteban is the only other main event winner. The Women's division has been in action only once and Gabrielle Hollinger was the winner.
The 4-Bee's would witness their first repeat winner last week with John Gartner capturing the feature. Drivers who have graced victory lane just once include Stan Asanovic, Bo Jones, and Travis Koch.
Pit Gates will open at 2:00 PM, Front Gates open at 3:30, and racing starts at 6:00. Tickets for the event are Adults $12.00, Seniors/Military/Juniors (13-17) $10.00, Youths (Ages 12-6) $5.00, and Children under the age of 5 are FREE and a Family Pass will be offered for two Adults and up to four Youths for just $35.00.

Very good but has limitations
Hi - I have been using this tool for a client project and it seems to be dependant on the PDF. PDFs over about 1.5Mb don't want to play at all. My client also has some PDFs that are pure scans - the viewer could cope with those. However, PDFs that were almost pure text work fine - if a bit slowly.

PDF Viewer isse
Hi - no, I didn't. We took a different appoach and found a tool that we installed on the backend. This took the PDF from the database and then delivered the page that we requested as a JPG. It works really well - the jpgs are only 400k and deliver very quickly to the device so it doesn't really matter how many pages the pdf is.

I have added everything from lib to my project and I cant seem to make it work. I am using Intelij Idea. Can someone please help me?
Also, when I open pdf.js Idea highlights it as if it had a lot of errors in it.
Thank you
6 Nov 2012 8:07 AM #29
How do you include the PDF.JS in your app ? Fells like it cannot find it.
6 Nov 2012 8:11 AM #30
I have added the pdf folder containing pdf.js and compatibility.js as a global library to my project. I am also using chromium if that helps.
The weird thing is that when I Ctrl + click on PDFJS where it is used in ux.panel,pdf.js, it does indeed go to pdf.js that was included along with the library.
This is how I use it in my app. The panel opens alright, but the pdf doesnt.
this.getDocumentsContainer().push({ xtype: 'pdfpanel', fullscreen: true, layout: 'fit', src: 'http://cdn.mozilla.net/pdfjs/tracemonkey.pdf', // URL to the PDF - Same Domain or Server with CORS Support style : { backgroundColor: '#333' } });
