Radioactive iodine (RAI) is a therapy used in the treatment of some thyroid cancers, specifically papillary and follicular thyroid cancer. For the thyroid gland to make thyroid hormone, the first step in the process is for the thyroid cells to "take up" iodide from the bloodstream. Iodide is one of the building blocks used to produce thyroid hormone. By making the iodine radioactive (in the form of I-131), it becomes toxic to cells that accumulate iodine from the bloodstream, in turn killing these cells. This therapy can be used for several purposes:
Given the potential benefits of RAI, it may seem like something all patients with thyroid cancer should receive. However, RAI does have potential side effects to consider. In addition,patients with larger, more aggressive or residual tumor after surgery have been shown to derive a survival benefit with RAI, but those with smaller, less aggressive cancers have not.
RAI for remnant ablation destroys any residual normal thyroid tissue, allowing your physicians to more easily detect if your thyroid cancer comes back. A blood test called thyroglobulin is used in surveillance monitoring of thyroid cancer. Thyroglobulin is a protein that is only produced by either normal thyroid cells or thyroid cancer cells. After surgery you may still have a small amount of normal thyroid cells remaining (thyroid remnant) in your neck. This is because it is difficult to safely remove the entire thyroid without damaging nearby structures, such as the vocal cords. Therefore, there may be some thyroglobulin, produced by these cells, circulating in your blood. However, after the thyroid remnant is destroyed by RAI, these normal cells are no longer contributing to thyroglobulin production. In the future, if thyroglobulin is detected in your blood, your physician knows that it must be produced by residual or recurrent thyroid cancer. In addition, RAI ablation of the thyroid remnant typically allows for clearer pictures (during radiology scans) of your neck in the future. However, many low-risk patients are followed without having received remnant ablation.
Some thyroid cancer cells also share the same ability as normal thyroid cells to take up iodine from the bloodstream,. These are referred to as "iodine-avid". If your cancer cells are able to do this, then I-131 may also destroy microscopic residual thyroid cancer cells or be used as a treatment for thyroid cancer that has spread to lymph nodes or other areas of the body. Doctors cannot tell by simply looking at the thyroid cells under the microscope if they can take up iodine. Determination of whether a patient's thyroid cancer is iodine-avid depends on many factors such as the type of cancer and results of imaging studies, including whole body scans (see section on Treatment Procedure below).
Although I-131 is a pill, you cannot simply take the pill without prior preparation. To prepare you for I-131 therapy and to maximize the effects I-131, there are 2 things that must happen.
First, you must follow a low iodine diet for 1-2 weeks to deplete your body of iodine. Iodine is found in many foods that we eat. This will make your thyroid cells "hungry" for the I-131 and help to increase the amount of I-131 that gets taken up.
Second, the blood level of a hormone called TSH (thyroid stimulating hormone) must be high. TSH is what signals the thyroid cells to produce thyroid hormone and, as discussed above, the first step in thyroid hormone production is for the thyroid cells to take up iodide from the bloodstream. Therefore, to maximize the amount of I-131 that enters the thyroid cells, your TSH level must be high.
There are two ways to raise your TSH blood concentration and your medical team will advise you as to which method they will use.
Prior to treatment, patients will have a "whole body scan" that is performed one day after taking a small dose of a different radioiodine isotope (I-123). I-123 does not destroy thyroid cells and will allow your treatment team to visualize the location and amount of any remaining thyroid remnant and possibly thyroid cancer. After the whole body scan is completed, you will then receive the oral I-131 treatment pill. After taking the I-131, you will be sent home or, rarely, you may be required to remain in the hospital for a few days. You will be asked to return to the nuclear medicine department 7-10 days later to have another whole body scan, also known as the "post-therapy scan," that will show where the I-131 was deposited in your body. This scan may also identify any new sites of iodine-avid thyroid cancer not seen on the first whole body scan.
I-131 remains in your system for up to a few weeks and excess not taken up by the thyroid is excreted in urine, stool, saliva and perspiration over the first 1-2 days following treatment. As the radioactivity of the I-131 in your system is a concern for those around you, you need to follow radiation safety precautions after receiving I-131. The length of time one has to follow these precautions is partly dependent on the dose of I-131, so the following recommendations need to be individualized. To keep those around you safe, in general, you should stay 3 feet away from them for the first 5 days (10 feet away for the first 24 hours) In addition your team will provide you with detailed precautions for the first week after treatment, which may include:
Talk with your treatment team if you cannot follow any of these instructions due to your personal situation. Ask them about when it is safe to return to work or school, go out in public or when longer distance travel is safe. For up to 2 months,, the radiation you were treated with can set off detectors at airports and other security checkpoints. Talk with your team if you need to travel within this time frame.

My server should shutdown after 01:00 am, if there was no activity in the past hour. Lets say there was the last connection at 00:43 then it should check again at 01:43.
How to write such a script/how to get last login time? Based on ssh connection
This will provide a list of users and idle times, one user per line.
Important: See the NOTES section in the man page for w. The line above produces something like this:
Then use cron to execute the script that you created to utilize the output from w. Use whichever scripting language you prefer. Perhaps you do not care about usernames, only idle times?
Any result < 3600 seconds does not meet the one-hour idle time requirement.
Doesn't that require a dynamic modification of the cron job itself? I think I might be satisfied to run it once hourly; otherwise, I would have to run the script every minute to acquire that precision.
Here is a script in PHP that works well on Linux Mint 13. It should be fine for Ubuntu or any other Linux.
Well a linux server will almost never beet the requirements to shutdown that you have stated. Linux connects to it's self constantly. That said, You could probably rig something up.
/var/log/messages will show new ssh connections.
Together you could write some kind of script to check /var/log/messages for connections in the last hour, make sure there are no active connections, and then shutdown.
This article from ibm might help.

When I am sending a mail from my one mail account (Yahoo) to other (Gmail), Gmail automatically puts my mails into the Spam folder. What is the basic criteria to send an email by which mail servers cannot treat my mail as a spam?
While the list of criteria used by GMail's spam filter is a trade secret, most spam filters are quite similar.
The list of spam criteria used by a very popular Spam Assassin spam filter is made public, together with weights.
Some of the most important ones, cherry-picked by me:
And so on.
There are some services that allow you to test your message for compliance with the spam filters and see what exactly is wrong with it — http://spamcheck.sitesell.com/ is one of them.
So Gmail has a learning system that is part based on all users and part based on a single user.
This is on top of the standard spam checks @apostlion described.
Easy answer is not to send spam, or things that users may consider spam.

I'm looking for a definition of pseudo differential forms in ordinary differential geometry. However searching the web gave me nothing. There are definitions in supergeometry but that is not what I'm after.
Recently I read, that pseudo-differentialforms are the natural structure to integrate, since integration works on any kind of submanifold (orientation not required) for them, but those texts don't gave a 'clean' definition of these kind of forms.
What are pseudo-differentialforms?
Can pseudo differentialforms be defined as sections of some kind of fiber bundle? If yes that's a definition I would prefer.

I read with interest about news of a scuba diver being stranded in the open sea when the diving operator failed to account for all members of a group. Mishaps like this and accidents such as boat capsizes or plane crashes do happen from time to time. What are the important techniques to acquire to enhance the survivability of individuals who can swim but does not have any flotation device?
Sunscreen and lip balm, saw a show where the people were burned badly. But that is something that you either have or don't.
Your pants can usually be tied at the legs to create a short term Floatation Device.
The "Deadman's Float" allows you to conserve a lot of energy. Basically you hang like a jellyfish in between breaths.
As you breathe, kick and stroke just enough to get your head out of water. Face the direction you want to travel, these small kicks can move you and over a period of time will get you closer to your destination. Be mindful of currents, you can be pulled out into a worse position. Usually you can get out of these by swimming a few hundred feet laterally. Don't fight it by going against it, just keep a steady pace to the side until you are out.
I always learned swimming on your back does not cost much energy.
Your hands which are mostly tired first do nothing while swimming this way and your legs do the work. Also you don't sink when you barely swim this way.

I see some examples :
- No cheese
- No errors
- No good
I understand how to use "any", but "no" before a noun is weird (especially "no" before an adjective). Can anyone explain them?
closed as general reference by FumbleFingers, Kristina Lopez, cornbread ninja 麵包忍者, Hellion, Lynn Feb 1 '13 at 4:27
This question is too basic; it can be definitively and permanently answered by a single link to a standard internet reference source designed specifically to find that type of information.If this question can be reworded to fit the rules in the help center, please edit the question.
In this context, no is essentially the same as not any. So, there is not any cheese, there are zero errors, and something is not good.
This is meaning #2 in Macmillan.
That said, there's room for interpretation here. Just like NO DIVING can mean "diving is not allowed," NO CHEESE could mean "do not put any cheese in this dish" (which might be something said to a cook, when the diners might be lactose intolerant).
the context isn't totally clear here, but generally in front of a noun (like cheese, errors and sometimes good) 'no' indicates that there is "not any".
ex. No cheese is made from cat's milk. = There is not any type of cheese made from cat's milk.
ex. No errors were found in the document. = There are not any errors (that were found) in the document.
"Good" is slightly different. Good can be a noun in the same way as above. ex. No good can come from playing with guns.
The expression "no good" can also be used as a noun in the following way: ex. She was up to no good. (ie she was misbehaving/ doing something mischievous)
but people do also use no-good as an adjective-- ex. He is no good which basically just means he's bad.
I think this is just a oddity of the word "good" though as I can't think of any other adjectives that are used in this way.
"No" simply indicates an absence of whatever it's qualifying.
No cheese: there is an absence of cheese;
Note that good here is not an adjective per se; it's a noun.

The Five Books of Moses mention not stoking a fire on the Sabbath, if I remember correctly. By starting a car, I'd think I am stoking a fire. Is this okay to do for a Jew? Why or why not?
Sign up

Moses tells the people who are about to get busy building the Tabernacle (sort of a travelling Temple in the desert) that they need to pause all their construction activities on the Sabbath, and mentions for instance not to burn things.
Our Oral Tradition (recorded in the Talmud, tractate Shabbat, see especially Chapter 7) has a list of 39 categories of creative labor which were used in building the Tabernacle, all of which are therefore prohibited on the Sabbath: "growing" (including planting, watering, and fertilizing), "plowing", "reaping", "cooking or baking", "dyeing", and so on and so forth. One of these is, as stated, "burning."
Hence, use of the internal combustion engine is prohibited on Sabbath. That's why Orthodox Jews have to be within walking distance of a synagogue, they can't drive; this creates a geographic sense of community that is very different than what typical American suburbia developed.
not only starting the car, but on it's regular use you are constantly kindling and extinguishing fire, see how a 4 stroke engine works: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Four-stroke_engine http://www.animatedengines.com/otto.shtml http://www.compgoparts.com/TechnicalResources/FourStrokeEngineBasics.asp http://www.howstuffworks.com/engine.htm
a different question is if a non jew could do it for a jew, which is a whole question on itself that depends on when, how, why and have exceptions
People often incorrectly think that the prohibitions in force on Jews on the Sabbath have to do with not 'working'. This is not exactly correct. One may hear people say that "in the old days" it was a lot of work to make a fire (and thus light) but now all we have to do is flip a switch, so now it is not work and is ok to do. This incorrect thinking is applied to many of the other Sabbath prohibitions. The fact is that the the type of 'work' that is prohibited, as someone stated above, is based on the 39 categories of creative activities that were done in the construction of the 'Mishkan', i.e. the Tabernacle (portable 'Temple') that was constucted when the Jews were in the desert after the exodus from Egypt. Those construction activities were halted for the Sabbath. The whole basis of 'resting' on the Sabbath is because G-d 'rested' on the 7th day after the 6 days of creation. Now we know that after those 6 days of creation G-d did NOT say "Wow, I am exhausted! I need to rest!" What that 'rest' means is that He stopped doing creative activity. In like manner he commanded the Jewish people to cease from doing creative activities on the Sabbath. This serves as reminder every week as to WHO it is that created the world we live in and who is truly in control of it. It gives a chance to reflect about the greatness of G-d and all He has given us, and about the limited creative powers that we do have because HE gave us those abilities to use to serve HIM.
No a Jew cannot start a car on the Sabbath for the reason you outlined above. A non Jew could in theory open the car door and drive a Jew around, however there is a concept of marat ayin, where another Jew will see another Jew getting into a car and think, if they're getting into a car, so too can I drive.

I found the following expression in dictionary.
large herds of elephant and buffalo
A herd must be more than one, why using singular not plural?
I found the following expression in dictionary.
A herd must be more than one, why using singular not plural?
Elephant can be plural, like deer.
See the Merriam-Webster entry for elephant:
Buffalo also can be plural, like deer (and elephant).
See the Merriam-Webster entry for buffalo:
Because they are all of the type elephant
It's a herd of elephant amimals
I think your dictionary is correct, and that more than one herd of elephants is "herds of elephant".
"Hippos fight for territory while herds of elephant, water buffalo and zebra depend on it for life." > http://www.bbc.co.uk/programmes/b01dq07f
"We begin with game viewing in the delightful Tarangire National Park, where herds of Elephant roam" > http://www.classicjourneys.co.uk/content.asp?id1=131
"...the largest herds of elephant in Africa." > http://www.safari-club.co.uk/botswana-safaris/
"see lions, leopards, herds of elephant, giraffe and much more" > http://www.hfholidays.co.uk/holidays/kenyan-safari
The reasoning is that you are indicating that there is more than one herd, rather that indicating that there is more than one elephant. Used in this way, with the focus on the herd, 'elephant' is the material the herd is composed of, so in the same way that we say cups of coffee or bars of chocolate, we say herds of elephant.

A student of mine has cooked up a new graphical notation for computing with knots on surfaces. The trouble is, writing up his results is difficult due to his new notation. Is there a good "drawing tool" for mathematics that anyone can suggest?
Inkscape is a good open source drawing package, and it integrates with LaTeX.
GeoGebra is nice tool that worth. I recomend using it.
On unix or Mac environments try xfig. There are windows simulators. Picture environments can be used with LaTeX to draw, but they are a pain (we used this in "The Classical and Quantum 6j symbols"). We used xfig for both "Knotted Surfaces and Their Diagrams" and "Surfaces in 4-Space." Otherwise, get a good set of Rapidograph pens, some blue pencil, and lots of white-out.
I like to use the TikZ package in laTeX. It has a bit of a learning curve, but I like the fact that you don't have to call external graphics files when you compile the laTeX code. I used to use (and sometimes still use) Adobe Illustrator to create pdf files to incorporate into the tex code via an \includegraphics command.
LaTeX is a good way to write all mathematical formulas and graphical notations.
It is a lot more than that, but personnaly, I use it frequently only for that.
There is also something called as TeXmacs which you might be interested in. As Xavier quote LaTeX is the best way to start.
In case you are in need of a drawing package i list the following 3 packages which are commonly used:
Please google the names and you shall find lot of interesting things.
I often use both LaTeX and GeoGebra. They are my favourites these days...

Crowdfunding Efforts Draw Suspicion
Regulators are scrutinizing about 200 websites set up by entrepreneurs to profit from a more lenient law on the sale of shares in small companies.
State securities officials identified the websites after a sweep of thousands of Internet addresses for possible threats to investors following the looming change.
The probe was triggered by the Jumpstart Our Business Startups, or JOBS, Act, which dismantles many of the legal constraints on small companies selling shares on the Internet.
Securities laws currently prohibit private companies from advertising or selling shares to investors who aren't relatively wealthy. The JOBS Act will allow companies to raise up to $1 million a year through small share sales to ordinary investors.
When President Barack Obama signed the JOBS Act bill last April, he hailed these "crowdfunding" provisions as a possible "game changer" that would allow "ordinary Americans…to go online and invest in entrepreneurs they believe in."
Supporters also predict a boost for capital-starved small companies.
But some regulators are concerned that forthcoming rules to relax existing controls might present opportunities for fraud. The Securities and Exchange Commission missed a Jan. 1 deadline in the law to write crowdfunding rules, but a spokesman said the agency is working to adopt effective rules "as soon as possible."
In anticipation of the rules, the North American Securities Administrators Association, which represents state securities regulators, is taking steps to try to weed out possible problems lurking among thousands of nascent crowdfunding operations.
Internet names with the word "crowdfund," up from 900 in Jan. 2012
In a year-end trawl of the Internet, the association of securities regulators found 9,001 website names containing the word "crowdfund," according to a spokesman. The total is up more than tenfold from a year earlier. Officials have reviewed about 2,000 of those site names, concluding that about 200 need a closer examination or monitoring, the spokesman said.
The Wall Street Journal reviewed a list of the 9,001 website names being sifted by regulators. Some names appear to cater to specific groups of entrepreneurs or investors based on their gender ("crowdfundgirl"), race ("latinocrowdfunding") or religion ("christiancrowdfunds").
The eclectic mix also includes names seemingly aimed at sparking investor interest, such as "getrichcrowdfunding" and "crowdfundingjackpot."
Not all the site names are owned by entrepreneurs. Some belong to companies that specialize in buying and selling Internet addresses.
State regulators already have taken or considered enforcement action against a handful of companies for allegedly exploiting online fundraising to commit fraud—or simply jumping the gun on the planned rules changes.
One example of an allegedly overenthusiastic entrepreneur is Stephen Rea of Little Rock, Ark. According to the website for his company, Mr. Rea invented his trademarked "Xtender Strips"—fabric extensions to hook-and-loop fasteners, or Velcro strips—in 15 minutes at a Wal-Mart Stores Inc. WMT -0.37 % superstore.
A separate website Mr. Rea set up inviting investors to "Send Yo Money!" claimed to be operating "under" the JOBS Act, while his company's site solicited "crowdfunding" financing. After an Arkansas regulator spotted the websites, it contacted Mr. Rea, who agreed to make it clear on the site that he isn't selling shares.
Heath Abshure, the Arkansas securities commissioner and president of the association of securities regulators, said he decided not to take enforcement action because of Mr. Rea's cooperation and lack of sales, as well as the fact he didn't appear to intend to break the law. Mr. Rea declined to comment.
Massachusetts Secretary of the Commonwealth William Galvin last year alleged that Christopher Melville and his game-store company, Tabletop Arena LLC, committed "crowdfunding fraud." An administrative complaint said Tabletop broke securities laws in trying to raise at least $250,000, allegedly encouraging customers to invest using incentives such as free dice "under the banner of crowdfunding."
Mr. Melville said his crowdfunding efforts hadn't succeeded in raising money and that the action has been settled, adding his company is "doing really well."
Crowdfunding enthusiasts say the number of websites being registered reflects the pent-up demand for the financing targeted by the JOBS Act. "This is something of a vindication of the concept," said Sherwood Neiss, a principal of consulting firm Crowdfund Capital Advisors.
Research his firm is working on with the University of California, Berkeley, suggests the crowdfunding market could be worth $4.6 billion annually within five years, he added.
Supporters of crowdfunding say the states' fraud warnings are overblown, noting the real danger is that national regulators will choke off the industry before it gets going. "There's a great concern the rules will be so burdensome they won't be operable," said Jonathan Sandlund, founder of information website The CrowdCafe.
The association of securities regulators says the JOBS Act doesn't do enough to protect investors. Unless the SEC and Financial Industry Regulatory Authority craft strong rules, Mr. Abshure said, a combination of fraud, high failure rates for startups and an "inevitable advertising onslaught of pie-in-the-sky offers" will kill investor confidence in buying shares online.

In a special classroom visit to Rutgers School of Law–Newark, Lynn Hecht Schafran, Senior Vice President and Director of the National Judicial Education Program of Legal Momentum, will discuss gender in the legal profession and the gender experience in the legal system for litigants. Legal Momentum was formerly known as the NOW Legal Defense and Education Fund.
A recognized authority on gender bias in the law, Schafran will be the guest speaker on Tuesday, October 2, 2012 in Professor Suzanne Kim's seminar on Gender, Sexuality, Gender Identity and the Law. The class meets from 3:55 to 5:50 pm. Her visit is co-hosted by the Women's Rights Law Reporter and the Women's Law Forum. All students, faculty and alumni are invited to attend; confirmation of attendance is requested by emailing email@example.com.
Schafran has headed the National Judicial Education Program to Promote Equality for Women and Men in the Courts (NJEP) since 1981. She has been on the faculty of numerous national, state and federal judicial colleges in the United States and Canada, is an advisor to the state supreme court and federal circuit task forces on gender bias in the courts for which NJEP was the catalyst, and is co-author of several model judicial education curricula in use across the country. She has received numerous awards for her work to eliminate gender bias in the courts and the profession, among them the American Bar Association Margaret Brent Women Lawyers of Achievement Award, the Smith College Medal, the Columbia Law Public Interest Fellows Award, and the American Law Institute-American Bar Association Rawle Award for Outstanding Contribution to the Continuing Education of the Legal Profession.
Professor Kim focuses her scholarship, often interdisciplinary in approach, on the intersection of gender, sexuality, race, ethnicity, class, culture, work, and family. Her most recent publication is "The Neutered Parent" in the Yale Journal of Law and Feminism (24 Yale J.L. & Feminism 1, 2012).

BETHANY - Thirteen local athletes get to "pad up" in preparation for Sunday's 7 p.m. Rudy Mumley OVAC All-Star Football Classic at Wheeling Island Stadium.
To a man, they all had smiles on their faces when it came to talk about playing in the game.
For Weir High's Daren Baldwin, this game means a lot more than for some of the other players.
"Playing in this game is very important for me," he said. "I want to get a win because my season wasn't so great. I like being down here around all these good guys and having fun."
The Red Riders went 3-37 in Baldwin's four years.
"It was really tough going through those years with very few wins," he said. "But, you just have to live with it. Having so few wins makes me really hungry for a win this week. I play how I play every game.
"Playing in this game is a big honor. I know a lot of good players have played in this game, so it makes you feel kind of important to play in it. Being around all these guys, playing the game we love is a great feeling."
Buckeye Local's Shane Duncan caught 20 passes for 505 yards and four scores. He recorded 47 tackles, had three interceptions and one fumble recovery.
"I didn't expect this," he said. "It's a big honor and I'm happy to be playing in it. I really didn't think I was going to get a chance to play another game, so it's special being here.
"It's been great meeting new people and making memories."
Edison's Chris Graziani ran for 901 yards and seven touchdowns this past season. He also caught 12 balls and scored 13 touchdowns. Graziani was a factor as a return man as well, accumulating 350 yards on returns.
Along with earning three letters in football, Graziani was a three-year letterman in track.
"I've been wanting to play in this game since the end of my senior season in football," he said. "It's an honor to play. It's pretty exciting. It's great hanging out with these guys and making new friends."
Steubenville Catholic Central's Zach Herrington will head to Mount Union to play football.
"I've been waiting for this all year," said Herrington. "I was so excited when I got the letter to play in this game, because I get to represent my school and, obviously, my state. I just can't wait."
The 6-4, 190-pounder caught 102 balls for 1,339 yards and 16 touchdowns. He owns the school record for receptions in a game and season. Herrington was a first-team Eastern District, all-OVAC and all-Quad County.
"To be able to represent Catholic Central in this game means everything. I can't wait.
"It's important to have a lot of fun out here. You meet a lot of people. I get to hang out with my future teammates at Mount Union. It already has been a lot of fun.
"It's pretty cool being able to play with some of the guys we went against during the season."
This game is special for a diffferent reason for Brooke's Raleigh Mason.
"This means a lot to me because I'm third generation," he said. "My grandfather played in it, my father played in it and now I'm going to play in it. I want to carry on that tradition and help lead the West Virginia side to a victory.
"All the camaraderie of the team is great. Meeting new players, guys you went against for four years and the coaching staff has been great. Everything has been going real smoothly. I'm enjoying my self a lot. The practices are fun. We're hanging out with one another.
"This means a lot to me and my family.
"The most important part of this week is setting aside our differences, since we played on different teams, and coming together as one and going out there and beating Ohio."
Oak Glen's Preston Murray is thankful to be playing for a number of reasons, but sibling rivalry may top that list.
"It's really important to play in this game because my brother played in it (2004)," said the two-time all-stater, who ensures big brother does not have bragging rights. "It means a lot to play. I'm pretty pumped for it.
"I think practice this week is really important for us. Perfect practice makes perfect. This is a good experience."
Harrison Central's Nick Pelegreen will play baseball at Wheeling Jesuit.
"Since I decided to play baseball in college, this is going to be my last football game ever," he said. "It's terrible in a way, but I'm very excited. It's very important to me because it is the last time I'll be able to pad up and play again.
"It means a lot to play.
"I think the most important part of the week is bonding with all these players from the Ohio Valley. You play against them all your life and they become your rivals. Now, you get to spend time with them as your teammates, really get to know them and you get that special bond and makes everything a lot better."
It appears Big Red's Matt Petrella will be playing on the defensive side of the ball.
"Growing up as a little kid, seeing it and watching this game on Sunday - it was my goal to play in this game," he said. "It's really important to me that I was fortunate enough to be selected.
"It's pretty cool going from watching it growing up to now actually being in the game. It's kind of crazy.
"I think it's important for us to be in shape to be ready to go on Sunday, knowing we have to win.
"It's been a good time creating bonds with these guys, building new friendships. It's a good time."
Big Red's Dashon Redman, the 5-9, 200-pounder ran for 910 yards and recorded 72 tackles as a senior. He earned third-team All-Ohio, first-team All-Eastern District and All-OVAC.
"I am happy and honored to play in this game, our last high school game ever," he said. "I'll remember this game forever. I'm happy I'm out here so I can get in a little work before going to Mount Union. The need to be back on the field was pretty big.
"It's important to get a team bond with these guys and make some new friends.
"It's a fun time. They're all just like me, so it's fun beind around them."
Manard Reed was Big Red's MVP and is headed to Marietta College to play ball.
"It's been great meeting new people," he said. "I'm ready to go. It's nice to get back in pads and get ready to play in college. I just want to get my team ready to go on Sunday."
Brooke's Ben Rodgers, a 6-3, 255-pounder who was named Brooke's offensive lineman of the year, is looking forward to Sunday.
"It is really important to represent my school and my family," said Rodgers, who plans to attend Alderson-Broaddus to study secondary education and play football. "Only so many kids get to be picked and it's a real honor to be one of them and be able to meet new teammates and make new friendships for the rest of our lives.
"It's important to make friendships with all these guys, getting to know them all because they're my brothers for this week - become one and get the job done on Sunday night.
"We get work done, but we're having fun. It's a great experience."
Harrison Central's Tyler Rose had an exceptional season for the Huskies.
"It was important to play in this game for me because I really like being back in football again," he said. "It means a lot to play. I really like being here. It gives you the college experience while meeting a bunch of good guys."
Indian Creek's Shane Winland was a first-team All-Eastern District offensive lineman and was also special mention All-Ohio.
"Growing up as a kid I've been watching the game and actually told my dad one time that I was going to play in this game," he said. "It's a dream come true to actually be a part of this game.
"To be out here with a bunch of other athletes who are the best in the valley is special. It's an honor to be considered one of them.
"Team bonding this week is important. You can't function as a team if you just go out there yourself. You have to have trust in the person next to you and they have to be able to trust you.
"It's really cool getting to know these guys."

Halloween is coming up, and instead of being frightened by ghosts and goblins, many people are scared to face difficult financial situations in their lives.
Maybe you've heard, time and time again, that you need to get your credit report or check your FICO credit score, but you're too afraid to see what they look like.
Perhaps you have a large or overdue tax bill, and just thinking about the IRS sends shivers down your spine. So you've ignored your tax issue, silently hoping it will somehow go away.
Or maybe you've been investing and you know the stock market has been zigzagging every which way, and now you're scared to take a look at how your investments have performed. In fact, you don't even want to know exactly how much money you may have lost in your 401(k) plan.
Whatever your personal situation, here's how to overcome your fears and move forward with confidence about your finances.
Are Your Fears Healthy and Rational, or Excessive and Irrational?
First of all, you have to recognize that at some level fear is nothing more than your own internal "red alert system." In other words, some of the fears or anxieties you're feeling about a given topic are a warning sign to you.
They are a way of telling you that something is or could be amiss. Such fears serve as a nagging way of bringing to the surface deeply rooted problems or issues you have buried. So at some level, you should listen and pay attention to the general fears or doubts you might have.
However, when your fears are excessive or irrational, that's when they move into the danger zone, because those type of fears are counterproductive and immobilizing.
If your fear causes you to fall into a state of inaction or immobilizes you, then your goal should be to convert that fear into positive action.
How to Convert Fear Into Positive Action
Start by doing these three things.
1. Write down exactly what's bothering you.
Are you worried about your credit? About your job? About your lack of savings? About your future retirement or economic security for your family?
Whatever it is that's troubling you, write it down. Look at it. Face it. Put it in black and white and don't run away from the problem.
Sticking your head in the sand and playing the role of an ostrich is not going to get you anywhere. It's time to confront what's bothering you.
If your fear causes you to fall into a state of inaction or immobilizes you, then your goal should be to convert that fear into positive action.

In your head, you may be dreaming up and imagining all sort of worst-case disaster scenarios. But once you write down all of the things that are troubling you, you'll start to find that these financial boogeymen probably aren't as scary as they might have seemed.
(If you really want something to be scared about—for those of you who have a thirst for drama, mayhem and financial horror stories—read these scary things that can totally wreck your finances.)
Here's how you're going to start conquering those financial monsters, defeating them one at a time.
2. List three things that are in your control that you can do today.
So again, if you've been worried about your credit report and you've been too fearful of facing the music and seeing exactly what your FICO credit score is, your task is to take the plunge and confront what you've been avoiding.
It's really easy enough to do, since you can simply get online and obtain your credit reports free of charge at AnnualCreditReport.com. At that government-mandated site, you are entitled to get one copy of your credit report from the big three credit bureaus: Equifax, Experian and TransUnion.
That will show you exactly what's in your credit files. The picture may not be pretty, but you know what? At least you're facing the truth. At least you're seeing exactly in black and white where you stand in terms of your credit reports.
That's an important step in moving forward and improving your credit standing.
Ditto for getting your FICO credit score, if credit has been the issue that you've been fearful about facing. You can get your credit score from MyFico.com. Again, once you see the number, you've conquered that beast. You've beat back that demon. And you've pushed past the fear.
Your score is going to range somewhere between 300 and 850 points. Obviously, the higher your score, the better off you've been doing from a credit management perspective.
But whatever it is that you've been fearful about, list those things that are within your control. Do something positive.
Take a step today that is feasible, realistic and attainable, something that you can actually do that would help the situation, even if it's only helping you to face the situation.
3. Reach out for help.
After you write down what's been bothering you and list three things that are in your control that you can do, I want you to reach out for

actually I haven't tried SDK Tools 1 because I thought they were incompatible with ST 2.0, because of the major changes. Or am I wrong?
I could write a bash script, to merge the files in the right order and then run yum compressor on it. But I'm not sure if its that easy, or if the complex Sencha system will still work afterwards. And in what order to merge the files? given a MVC Setup.
I know that are a few questions but I'm really eager to automate this process somehow, to get out of development status

Json to Java Deserialization problem
I am using DirectJNgine along with ExtDirect but I am badly stuck in a problem. We have a requirement of calling a serverside method in clientside. Ex.
ClientSide method:
ServerMethod.resolver(jsonDaaaata,"abcde", function(result, e) { var t = e.getTransaction(); });
@DirectMethod public void resolver(JsonElement companies, String commandName) { System.out.println("we r in resolver method of client = "); }
I have allready used following datatypes as a parameter on serverside method, but got following issues:
JsonObject: Control goes into the serverside method but while watching "companies " in resolver() method in debug mode, it does not have value sent from the client side.
JsonElement: Unable to invoke no-args constructor for class com.google.gson.JsonElement.
JsonArray: Control is not coming in the serverside method i.e. resolver().
So, please is there any datatype that we can use as a parameter in serverside method like resolver() so that it can accept any json data sent from client.

Race Car Driving Coach - Another VoiceWritten by on May 1, 2009 Contributors: June M. Boone Hiring A Driving Coach Could Help You Get To The Front This Season
The voice in Jim Warn's head is calm. Always calm.
"Just squeeze the brake," it says.
"Feather the throttle just a bit. Let the car settle down," it reminds him.
"Perfect job on the corner," it says. "Just try to do that same thing every lap."
From his perch on a hill overlooking the twisting Infineon Raceway road course in California, Tom Dyer can see almost every move the MJ-2 Racing team rookie driver makes.
He is so familiar with the course, he can almost feel what the car is doing as Warn steers, brakes, and accelerates the Monte Carlo stock car.
Dyer knows the track like any commuter knows the fast way home. He's an instructor there for the Jim Russell School of Racing and the Audi Sports Car Experience. He's also worked with Nextel Cup's Ward Burton, Stanton Barrett, and Bobby Labonte and the Indy Racing League's Ryan Hunter-Reay.
The son of a Trans-Am driver, Dyer grew up in a racing family. He's driven karts, sports cars, open wheel Sprint Cars, stock cars, and has won on just about every type of track that exists.
Although Warn began his racing career in sports cars on road courses, the demands of the heavy, somewhat slow responding stock cars in the NASCAR Camping World West series are still new.
"We went to Infineon for a test day before our race," explains Chuck Carruthers, who oversees the two-car MJ-2 team and also serves as Warn's crew chief.
"We wanted someone who could work with us during the test day," he says. "Tom came highly recommended."
"I've never been big on driving coaches," admits the crew chief, "but when I saw and heard what he could do during the test, we hired him to help on race day."
In spite of becoming the community punching bag for the more experienced drivers and road course "experts," Warn finished 12th at the track, with all the fenders still attached, although some of them just barely.
"Jim's like a stallion," says Dyer. "He just wants to get out there and race and go as fast as he can all the time. That's good. But he needs someone to help moderate what he does, to keep him focused and calmed down when things begin to go badly."
That, says Dyer, is the job of a coach. But it's not the only job.
"A lot of what we work on is improving driving skill," he says. "It's helping a driver be as good as he can be. Many drivers have more talent than they ever get a chance to use."
Dyer contends every racer can benefit from coaching.
"Not all of them need it," he says, "but we can all benefit. If a driver stays at it long enough, he'll learn just about everything he needs to know. A coach simply speeds up that process."
Following the Infineon race, the team flew Dyer to Miller Motorsports Park near Salt Lake City to work with both Warn and Jeff Jefferson, the team's senior driver.
"They have entirely different backgrounds and levels of experience," says Dyer, "so the help I can offer each one is not the same."
In Warn's case, he was the voice in his helmet, helping to guide the young driver through corners. In Jefferson's situation, some of the time was spent going over a track map to talk about perfect lines.
"People don't feel the track is as technical as Infineon," says Warn, "but if you do a bad job on one corner it puts you in the wrong place for the next four or five corners. You've basically thrown everything away until you get to the front straight," says the young driver.
"There's so much I don't know, I'm kinda like a sponge trying to learn it all. Tom has been a great help just keeping me focused on every lap. There is so much to think about, especially on a road course, that having someone working with you is great."
Dyer says a coach is unlike a spotter in that he isn't concerned about traffic, although some spotters also work like a coach.
"A coach doesn't tell a driver what to do," he adds, "he gives suggestions, advice, tells him how his line or braking point compares to drivers who are faster than he is."
He realizes that not every driver-especially blue-collar, short-track racers-can afford to hire a professional coach.
"But they don't need to," he says.
"The only requirement to be a coach is the ability to watch a driver on a track, analyze what he does, compare it to what other drivers are doing and see if there might be a way to improve.
"It may be that the best coach is someone who races at the same track and would be willing to come to a practice session and offer suggestions and advice," he says. "The key is that the coach has to be someone the driver trusts and respects and is willing to listen to."
Why a practice session? "The feedback has to be immediate," he says. "A coach can't talk to a driver about what he or she did on lap 10 of a race and expect the driver to remember. That's why having a radio-and many tracks won't let you use a radio on race nights-is important.
"And during a race on a short track, the driver is pretty busy with other things," he says.
Dyer also says drivers can be their own coaches.
"If you're having a problem with a corner, sit back and try to figure out why. What are you doing and how can you do it differently. Go out and watch another driver."
"As drivers, for the most part, we all know what we need to do," he says. "From time to time we just need to be reminded."

What's new in the 2014 Jeep Grand Cherokee

Using hill descent control, the driver keeps both feet off the pedals and the Grand Cherokee crawls down steep grades on its own. This hill has a 60 percent grade. Using hill ascent control, the Grand Cherokee goes uphill the same way.

Members of the automotive media line up in 2014 Jeep Grand Cherokee SRT models for laps around the new Circuit of the Americas racetrack in Austin, Texas.

A 2014 Jeep Grand Cherokee SRT on the Circuit of the Americas racetrack in Austin, Texas.
At a media introduction of the 2014 Jeep Grand Cherokee last week in Austin, Texas, Rick Deneau acknowledged that there isn't a big change in the newest Grand Cherokee. (Deneau's title warrants its own sentence: Head of Brands, Chrysler Brand, Sales, Network Development and Fleet Communications for Chrysler Group.) "We're trying to stay as close to our customers as we can," he explained. So for 2014, the Grand Cherokee isn't all-new, but it's better.
Many will welcome the arrival of an EcoDiesel V6 engine as an option. It produces 240 horsepower and 420 lb-ft of torque, and has a maximum towing capacity of 7,400 pounds. Two-wheel-drive versions have a fuel economy rating of 22 mpg city and 30 mpg highway. Jim Morrison, Jeep product marketing director, admitted the novelty of "hearing Jeep and 30 mpg in the same sentence." Four-wheel-drive models get 21 mpg city and 28 mpg highway. EcoDiesel Grand Cherokees have a driving range of more than 730 miles per tankful.
There are four trim levels for the 2014 Grand Cherokee: Laredo, Limited, Overland, and a new-for-2014 Summit premium model. The high-performance SRT version, which Jeep treats almost like a different vehicle altogether, is also in the 2014 lineup. The following few paragraphs contain information about the four models listed above; SRT information is given separately after that.
A 3.6-liter, 290-horsepower V6 engine and a new ZF eight-speed automatic transmission are standard across the board. Torque rating for the V6 is 260 lb-ft. Fuel economy is rated at 17 mpg city and 25 mpg highway for 4x2 configuration, and 17/24 with 4x4.
The EcoDiesel V6 and a 5.7-liter V8 are available as an option on all but the Laredo. The V8 delivers 360 horsepower and 390 lb-ft of torque, and is also paired with the ZF eight-speed automatic. A Fuel Saver system on the V8 shuts down four of the cylinders when less power is needed, such as during highway cruising. They kick in again as soon as gas-pedal action signals the need for a boost. A new Eco Mode for 2014 also works to reduce fuel consumption.
Fuel economy numbers for the V8 are 14 mpg city and 22 mpg highway (4x2), and 14/20 (4x4). As modest as these numbers might seem, they're an improvement over the previous Grand Cherokee and are not shocking for a workhorse powertrain.
New safety features have been added for 2014, including Forward Collision Warning with Crash Mitigation (it detects when the Grand Cherokee is approaching another vehicle too rapidly and gives the driver a heads-up in the form of an alert), and Selec-Speed Control, which includes hill ascent control and hill descent control, for tackling steep grades off-road, or on-road when conditions are dicey.
Among the new telematics features are Uconnect Access Via Mobile, providing one-touch connections with emergency service providers, roadside assistance dispatchers and vehicle information specialists; an 8.4-inch center-stack display; advanced cellular technology with cloud-based voice texting, Bing-connected search and on-demand Wi-Fi hot spot capability; and a premium navigation system with 3D landmarks, one-shot voice command recognition and SiriusXM Traffic and Travel Link.
Jeep says the 2014 Grand Cherokee SRT is the best-performing Jeep SRT vehicle ever: 0-60 mph in 4.8 seconds, a top speed of 160 mph, 0-100-0 mph in 16.3 seconds, and 60-0 mph braking in 116 feet.
The full-time all-wheel-drive SRT is powered by a 470-horsepower, 6.4-liter Hemi V8 engine (with the Fuel Saver system mentioned above) paired with an all-new 8HP70 eight-speed automatic transmission with a new electronic T-handle shifter. It delivers 465 lb-ft of torque at 4,300 rpm. Towing capacity is boosted by 44 percent over the previous model: 7,200 pounds now instead of 5,000.
A new launch control system, operated by a button behind the shifter on the center console and highlighted by a color graphic reminiscent of the staging lights at a drag strip, sets the vehicle up for optimum straight-line acceleration.
Previously mentioned new features including upgraded telematics and Eco Mode are included on the SRT.
Here are the base prices for the 2014 Jeep Grand Cherokee. In a departure from our usual style here, these prices do not include the destination charge of $995. I'm sorry, I just couldn't bear to do all that math.
Laredo 4x2: $28,795
Laredo 4x4: $30,795
Limited 4x2: $35,795
Limited 4x4: $37,795
Overland 4x2: $42,995
Overland 4x4: $45,995
Summit 4x2: $47,995
Summit 4x4: $50,995
For the EcoDiesel engine, add $4,500 extra on Limited, Overland and Summit models ($5,000 on the Summit 4x4).
The 2014 Jeep Grand Cherokee is built in Detroit, and all models except those equipped with an EcoDiesel engine are scheduled to arrive at local dealerships this week. EcoDiesel models should start showing up sometime in April.

I am learning iOS and developing my first iPone app. I want to add a feature to my app: if a user has login before, I want to redirect the user to the main view. otherwise, I want to redirect the user to the login view.
I have read ios change storyboard default view controller at run time, but I am wondering whether I can write the code that decides the root view in AppDelegate. Therefore, I won't have a view that is never launched.
this is my code in AppDelegate:
- (BOOL)application:(UIApplication *)application didFinishLaunchingWithOptions:(NSDictionary *)launchOptions
self.window = [[UIWindow alloc] initWithFrame:[[UIScreen mainScreen] bounds]];
[[UIApplication sharedApplication] registerForRemoteNotificationTypes:
(UIRemoteNotificationTypeSound | UIRemoteNotificationTypeAlert)];
MainViewController *rootVC = [[MainViewController alloc] init];
if (userNeverLogin) {
LoginViewController *rootVC = [[LoginViewController alloc] init];
self.window.rootViewController = [[UINavigationController alloc] initWithRootViewController:rootVC];
return YES;
this code doesn't work (it will not trigger any error, but it will show nothing in the simulator). how should I revise it? Or it's impossible to do this feature in AppDelegate?
I am sorry that I am a newbie to iOS. I hope this question is not stupid.

Although parking on the hill is packed, and the crowd is even more chaotic... what's going on behind some of the locker room doors is a different story. In fact, the women's team at Arkansas State University takes a moment to reflect inside their locker room before the game.
The team took part in a chapel service lead by a player for Athletes in Action. Scripture, Devotion, and Prayer--three things you may not expect to hear in a locker room, but at this year's Sunbelt Conference Tournament, several teams are voluntarily taking part in the chapel services.
Two basketball players from Athletes in Action, Chantel Mize and Jamie Rhoads, are in Bowling Green this weekend, not to play on the court, but to dribble in a message of hope... and the majority of teams chose to accept their offer to meet with the players, including Arkansas State.
Mize says it is a privilege to be able to use the platform of basketball to share her faith, especially since sports is a universal language.
Rhoads reminds us that basketball is temporary and our relationship with people and especially Christ is eternal and continues for generations to come.
Players agree and feel the chapel service helps calm nerves before a big game and helps them focus on what's important.

I must have fought this guy 15 times when I first got the item from headmaster Cid. I still haven't beaten him, help!
As I recall, Diablos is pretty challenging when you first get him if you haven't been doing any grinding or excessive magic-drawing early on.
The key to the fight is the spells that you can draw from him. He always carries Demi, and will have either Cure, Cura or Curaga depending on his (i.e. your) level. Draw these and use them to your advantage.
The Demi spell instantly removes 25% of the target's current HP. This means you want to draw it and cast it as your first couple moves. The more HP he has, the harder it hits. In this way, you can drop him to half health in two shots.
From there, beat him down with standard attacks and magic. As a flying monster, he is weak to Wind. Make liberal use of the Cure-family spells you can draw from him.
His Gravija spell hits extremely hard, but it works the same as Demi, it just takes a much higher percentage of your health. If he puts you into position for a Limit Break, you can also do a lot of damage that way. (Remember, you can hit the Circle button to retry for a Limit Break if you're at low HP).
Finally, don't be afraid to use any healing items you have. Items are plentiful in FFVIII, and you'll be able to easily resupply later on.
The key for me was having blind (drawn from the Granaldo Boss not long before you are first able to battle Diablo). If you draw a full stock of it for at least one character, and have it equipped to ST-ATK, between attacking with that character and casting it you should be able to affect him fairly quickly (note that he has a high resistance to blind, but is not fully immune).
Once you successfully hit him with it, it is almost impossible for him to kill you - he will cast Demi and Gravija most of the time, which can only reduce your HP to 1, not kill you. Only his punch attack can kill you, and he will almost never hit with it once blinded. You can leave your characters on low health (using their limit breaks with abandon) and just Phoenix Down them if they do happen to be hit by a lucky punch. As per the other answers here, still start by spamming Demi, as that will do far more than even your limit breaks (if you are attempting this fight early-game) until his health is reduced to a more manageable level.
I seem to recall him having a not-so-fun melee attack as well. Blinding him was always the first thing I did, though it takes a few attempts to do so.
One of the tactics used by veteran players is to keep Squall and Zell at low health so you can use their limit breaks (I think that's what it's called in FF8 but it's been a while) every time they get an action.
Start the battle by casting some Demi spells as sjohnston suggests, because that is the fastest way to get his HP down at first, but then try to keep these two characters on low health with the other higher, as a dedicated healer for when those two inevitably faint in battle.
If you draw demi from him, then cast it on him from your own stock rather than his, he will immediately cast curaga on the caster. Very useful.
What I did was blind him early game, and then use the limit break slot from Selphie to keep changing the cast until the end comes out, and use that skill.

About the Center | Classes & Programs | Health & Fitness | Junior Crew | Youth Summer Camps | Printable Forms | Directions | History | Rent the Rowing and Sailing Center
Mt. Baker Rowing and Sailing Center is located on Lake Washington at Stan Sayres Park, about midway between Seward Park and the I-90 floating bridge in south east Seattle.
Register online with SPARC, call the Parks Business Service Center to register or leave a message at the facility and someone will return your call upon our return.
Mt. Baker currently offers programs for ages 8-100 in rowing, sailing, kayaking and windsurfing for all ability levels. Financial Aid is Available for all classes. The Boating Advisory Council, in partnership with Seattle Parks and Recreation, wants to ensure that our activities, classes and sports are available to everyone, regardless of their ability to pay. The Council will chose to waive some or all fees, offer activities on a sliding scale, allow for an exchange of activities for volunteer service, or offer scholarships.
Reduced fees are intended mainly for families or individuals in our
Seattle neighborhood who are on public assistance or are unemployed.
"On Land" Health & Fitness
Mt. Baker offers Health and Fitness Classes in our indoor facility year-round. We welcome people of all, shapes, sizes and fitness levels. No rowing experience is required for these popular classes. For more information about our health and fitness classes or for the current schedule, call (206) 386-1913.
Junior Crew
Mt.Baker Junior Crew
Youth Summer Camps
Mount Baker Rowing and Sailing Center offers a variety of summer camps for youth ages 8-18. Whether it is a mix of activities with our Multi-Sport Adventure Camps or a focus on Sailing or Rowing, Mount Baker offers fun, safe and memorable summer experiences! For current offerings, please see our Annual Program Brochure or call (206)386-1913.
This facility is accessible by private car, foot, bike, boat, and public transportation which makes stops on Genesee Street 3 blocks south of the facility. Because Stan Sayres Park features a boat launching ramp, as well as several piers for power or sailboats, one could arrive by water to take a class!
The construction of a rowing and sailing center for youth in South Seattle was included in the Forward Thrust Bond Issue of 1968. It was slated to be one of the final projects and was finally moved into the planning stages in 1980. The architectural firm of TRA was hired to do a feasibility study and based on their recommendation, the new facility was erected at Stan Sayres Park on the shores of Lake Washington.
The firm of Calvin/Gorasch was selected to design the new facility and construction began in August of 1984. The building is located adjacent to a residential area that provided the inspiration for the classic sloping roofline and cedar shake roof of the new building. The building is gray stucco and trimmed in turquoise, fuchsia, forest green, and wedge wood blue.
The official christening was on June 15, 1985 and the facility was named "Mount Baker Rowing and Sailing Center." The first project of the new advisory council was assisting in the planning and operation of the christening ceremony.
The new council, lead by Wil Anderson as President, took an active role in the planning of programs, financial projects, and publicity for the new center. Funds were generated through program operation and supplemented by fund raising activities to allow the purchase of ten Laser II sailboats, ten sailboards, and an eight oared shell named "City of Seattle."
In the summer of 1990, the Goodwill Games were held in Seattle, and the Mount Baker Rowing and Sailing Center hosted the events on Lake Washington. A 2000 meter course, beginning at Mount Baker Beach, was the venue for this world class Regatta.

What do you take for lunch to work?
Again in the spirit of saving money on food being newly engaged. What do you guys take to eat for lunch at work? Today I had a big ol thing of rice... that was it cause I'm being super cheap.... However cheap and supplemental is super win in my book. What are your ideas?
19 Answers answer
Yay for bringing your own lunch! I always bring mine to work. Today I have home made Caribbean food that consists of rice, beans, greens and some stew chicken :-)
Well I dont work anymore and am a full time student, but I use to take simple things like Hot Pockets and some chips. A lot of the time I was able to go get lunch though so I was spending a crapload a week at random fastfood places.
Soups, stews, and stir-frys are awesome work lunch fodder. Chili over noodles or rice? Yup. Even curry goes pretty well, assuming you don't mind being overly aromatic. A grilled chicken breast in whatever flavor over some rice is quick, easy, and cheap to include.
No fish though. Never fish. Don't be the fish guy.
Pretty standard for me most days:
Salad consisting of a bag of some variety of lettuce/lettuce blend, a cup or so of chopped carrots, 4-5oz of chopped deli turkey breast/chicken, sometimes some fat free feta, sometimes some craisins, sometimes some croutons, etc.
Plain greek yogurt (Fage or Chobani) with some splenda mixed in.
Sometimes leftovers, but otherwise, salad and yogurt.
Agree with @gatzby. No fish. Ever. It does not microwave well, and everybody will hate you.
I'm usually that person who forgets about lunch til around 2:30 (I just get busy), so I tend to bring small, light, snackable type things like fruits and cheeses because then it starts getting late in the day and my mind is all "don't spoil dinner". Edamame's also pretty yummy and fast to microwave up. Or leftovers.
I live about 5 mins away so I go home for lunch almost everyday. Eat what I have left over, or make something real quick. Usually have time for a nap too.
Not exactly an at-home kind of deal, but back when I ate meat I used to almost always have Sushi Chef brand White Miso soup. Comes in a little packet, costs about 70 cents a packet. Just add hot water and voila!
I used to add some white rice I made at home to give it a little bulk, but still pretty tasty on its own.
I'll usually make more for dinner than could possibly be eaten, and take the leftovers to work for lunch the next day or two. If I don't have any leftovers, a lot of times I'll just make a ham and cheese or turkey and cheese sandwich, and bring carrots and/or yogurt to have with it.
I work from 6pm to about 3am, so I don't bring anything and we usually have 10pm late dinners. Which is pizza 75% of the time.
Bagel and water for lunch. Thats right I eat bread and water for lunch.
poptarts and hostess ho-ho's and a 2-liter of coke.
Work at home and eat anything I want!
like cindihoward - i too work at home and whatever i want is what i get!
Well, thanks to a recent health screening, my lunch has become a huge container of salad and bottle of water (spinach with diced carrots and sugar snap peas, plus some diced almonds and dressing).
If I don't bring anything I limit myself to one of the healthier options at Subway.
The days of fast food burgers are looooong gone for me :'( Thanks family genes.
(oh, and I just turned 30)
@spikedknight: thats rough =( Sorry to hear that. But yay healthy food!
@killswitchdh: Lol oh, and to your original point, with a Costco card it's about $15 per week for all the salad I can eat :D
And no worries, I needed a little motivation to break poor food habits.
Hot Pockets!
Also as the weather is getting warmer, I'm seriously starting to crave wraps which are easy to make, easy to transport, and tasty.
Yay hot pockets and a nap. I bring food for the whole day. Cereal bars, instant oatmeal, a hot pocket, stouffers, fruit, oj, a soda, water, and something sweet. And tea. Always have tea with me.

Fisher House accepts donation
Connex Credit Union of North Haven recently donated $1,000 to the Friends of Fisher House Connecticut. John Edwards, CEO of Connex CU, presented the check to Tom Flowers of the Friends of Fisher House CT Leadership Council. The $1,000 will go toward inscribed bricks that will be laid at the house site during construction. Bricks can be customized to commemorate a loved one in the military, and may be purchased by credit unions, private individuals and families.
In August, the Connecticut Credit Union Charitable Foundation voted unanimously to support the development of Fisher House Connecticut, a "home away from home" for military families whose service members are receiving medical care.
