The Kids in AmericaWritten by on January 3, 2006 2005 Mopar Nationals Young Guns Come Out Swinging
We at Mopar Muscle have saturated the magazine and our website with coverage of the world's biggest all-Mopar car show/swap meet/event, the Mopar Nationals. You would think that we've shown you everything we could about the massive three-day weekend event, but you'd be dead wrong! One of the staples to Mopar Muscle's coverage of the Nats experience is the Young Guns coverage. This year was a tight squeeze, as we struggled to gather all of our youthful enthusiasts in one area at the same time. Many appear with their cars, but aren't in the group photo while others were so busy participating in the races or on the concourse, that they stood in for the group picture and had to run off. We were lucky enough to hunt down as many as would stand by as we interviewed them and shot their cars, and for that, we wanted to thank each one individually for their patience, interest in classic Mopars, and their enthusiasm in wanting to participate in this year's Mopar Muscle Young Guns competition.
Who: Kevin Thomas, 22
Where: Waverly, IN
What: '99 Dodge Neon R/T
Fine Print: Kevin found this little blue pill in pretty rough shape. With a grocery list of alterations and slight changes, Kevin sought out to restore the Le Mans blue and white stripped Neon R/T back to the factory performance stock shape. Since the introduction of the Neon in the mid-90s, the R/T label has been debated as being totally appropriate. But, with the introduction of the turbo SRT-4 at the turn of the century, nobody can argue that Dodge's little commuter car has the potential to knock out some serious competition while still bringing home superior gas mileage and drivability.
Who: JR Shaner, 24
Where: West Sunbury, PA
What: '82 Plymouth Arrow
Fine Print: This little truck is something to talk about. JR had the 318 under the hood bored .030-inch over, while the 727 TorqueFlite transmission got a 4,000-stall converter and a transbrake, securing hard, brake-neck launches. An 8 3/4 rear sits underneath a custom fabricated aluminum bed and a hand-made fuel cell. Knowing that his Plymouth was gonna be going as hard as it could, he bolted in a 5-point harness to keep him in place. A 4 3/4-inch cowl hood allows all the cold air in from outside and finished the whole build with a wild coat of Indy Green House of Colors paint.
Who: Chris Wing, 18
Where: Lexington KY
What: '73 Plymouth Road Runner
Fine Print: With a 383 big block, an Edelbrock AVS carb, Hedman Headers, a .600-lift cam, new rocker arms, heads, and Torker intake, it's an easy sell to understand how Chris could have one of the coolest cars at his High School. Painted in his parent's garage, this '73 boast 4.10 gears in an 8 3/4 rear, all new wiring, and pump-gas friendly 10:1 compression. Chris installed a custom interior with diamond patterned tuck and roll seats, new carpet, and center console. Even Chris rebuilt the brakes, which need every bit of bite to slow down this beastly B-Body has he tears down the streets.
Who: DeWayne Swing, 24
Where: Shelbyville, TN
What: '73 Plymouth Duster
Fine Print: DeWayne has himself something that will never be mistaken for a sleeper. Anytime you have a tunnel ram showing off your dual four-barrel Edelbrocks out of a blacked out hood, you're basically asking for it. This Duster has been mini-tubbed and loaded up with a professional race-grade fuel cell. A four-speed A-833 transmission with Pistol Grip shifters shows how serious he is to any naysayers. Flowtech headers and Flowmaster exhaust tunnels the gases away from the engine, while the interior got all new cloth covers and carpet. Being teal paint two-toned with black gave this '73 a unique look while the sound is all Mopar.
Who: Rodney Knight, Jr., 20
Where: New Middletown, OH
What: '73 Plymouth Duster
Fine Print: OK, we might have a healthy population of A-Bodies in our line up, but it's easy to see that one and all are not the same. Rodney's rod boasts a 440 bored out .030-inch over with a Mopar M-1 intake and a Holley 800 double pumper. His 727 auto cranks through its gears with a manual valve body. A stout Dana 60 with 3.73 gears boils the BFG drag radials on the classic American Torque Thrust D's. An AAR fiberglass hood with a Six Pack scoop and Plum Crazy purple paint make this Plymouth all Mopar. Rodney handled all the hard work and labor save the paint and body work as he wanted the body as tight as his ride.
Who: Nicole Tomas, 25
Where: Wonder Lake, IL
What: '98 Dodge Dakota Sport
Fine Print: Nicole has got a rare bird on her hands. Hers was mistakenly sent from the factory floor with a 3.9L V6 with a rough and tumble set of 3.92 towing gears out of a Dakota R/T. With that, she decided to build something stout out of the little V6. Wrapped with Xenon ground effects a Stillen bumper, flame suede interior door panels, a glow-in-the-dark dash, flame tail lamps, chrome traction bars, chromed R/T rims, an under-body neon kit, strobe lights, blue and purple LED lights, billet oil and power steering pump caps, and chromed dipsticks. Not only that, but Nicole has a Cookie Monster themed mural on her headlight and seat covers. Talk about being one of a kind...
Who: Jessica Peter, 17
Where: Cresco, IA
What: '74 Dodge Challenger
Fine Print: Y'know what? We're tired of all sorts of letters complaining about post-74 cars. As indicated by young Ms. Peter's Challenger, the '74 was a very good year. Her E-Body touts a 318, with a four-barrel that she built with her father. Painted now in Panther Pink, the Challenger received new quarter panels and a whole lot of body work. The car's body was stripped clean, and all the cosmetic work was started from the beginning. The 318 sports 360 heads, a Comp Cam, and an Edelbrock High-Rise intake and carburetor. Jessica and her Challenger got a lot of looks that weekend. Seems the Mopar Fever isn't just for guys.
Who: Todd Spina, 24
Where: Gowanda, NY
What: '69 Dodge Super Bee
Fine Print: Todd's Bee is done right. Starting with a '69 Bee, Todd built the B-Body with a stout 440, bored a hefty .060-over. An Edelbrock intake with a Holley 850 carburetor sits on top of the 440 as the internals are fitted with such aftermarket parts as a Crower camshaft and Keith Black pistons. Hooker headers plumbed into Flowmaster 40-Series mufflers funnel out the fumes. The body was straightened, reworked, sanded, and painted in knock-out Plum Crazy purple. Todd picked up the '69 Super Bee when he was 16 years old, making this a long term investment. Todd plans on hanging on to this Bee for many more years to come as it has become a part of his life, and frankly, a habit for hauling ass.
Who: Corey Pant, 25
Where: Three Rivers, MI
What: '74 Plymouth Duster
Fine Print: Corey was, yet again, this year's winner. Previously, his crazy metal-flake custom green Duster was the same car that once was Plum Crazy purple and had landed him three previous Mopar Muscle Young Gun Choice Awards. This young father showed up with his family in tow, participating for his last year at the Young Guns. The small block 340 touts an Edelbrock Performer RPM intake and a 750 Dominator. The green paint was mixed and applied by Corey personally, while the custom stripe was added by a friend. The Duster is missing its side marker lights but boasts interior accommodations like the best of the Hip-Hop crowd with DVD players, stereo speakers, and interior lighting.
Who: Paul Faudree, 25
Where: Proctorville, OH
What: '70 Dodge Challenger R/T SE
Fine Print: Purchased in 1995 for a measly $500, Paul and his father dedicated five years to rebuilding the E-Body. Straight as an arrow and clean as any of the cars on the show grounds, this Challenger sports nothing but the factory gear. The original 383 was rebuilt and resides between the fenders in the same sure-fire working order as it did in 1970. The 727 TorqueFlite and 8 3/4 rear with 3.23 verify the car's sano condition as being totally unmolested for a more stout torque converter or steeper gears. Paul wanted an E-Body he could enjoy driving on the highway as much as on the track, though we question how much this fine piece of machinery sees the 1320.
Who: Gregg Orr Jr., 20
Where: Hamlet, IN
What: '68 Plymouth Barracuda Formula S coupe
Fine Print: Man, Gregg's Formula S is clean. That was the one word that crossed our minds as we looked over his A-Body. The '68 required significant restoration as rust and corrosion made the best of its original sheet metal. New lower rear quarter panels, door panels, and all new interior were only the beginning. The seats were recovered, new bushings in the front suspension, rechromed bumpers, and a change from maroon to red paint completed the restoration. Gregg even chose to maintain the restorative look with new bias-ply tires on stock rims. For a stock appearing car, Gregg's Formula S is sure a fine piece of new restoration parts.
Who: Jeff Cox, 16
Where: Blue Springs, MD
What: '72 Plymouth Scamp
Fine Print: Jeff was not only one of the youngest competitors in this year's Young Guns, but was easily, one of the coolest kids we met. With the help of his dad, Jeff was able to do most everything on the car himself. The 318 was rebuilt after only 70,000 on the clock with a Purple cam, matched up to a 904 TorqueFlite with a shift kit. The interior is all original as this car has changed hands only twice, making Jeff the second owner on a 33 year old car. The 318 has a four-barrel Edelbrock carburetor and electronic ignition. Interestingly enough, Jeff noted to us that the car was purchased new at Cox Motors new in 1972, making us wonder who the first owners were.
Who: Rob Shaw, 24
Where: Grand Ledge, MI
What: '70 Challenger R/T
Fine Print: All numbers-matching Challengers aren't all that rare, especially due to the money these E-Bodies are bringing in, regardless if it is a Hemi car or not. This '70 R/T is all numbers matching but owned by this Young Gun. With a 383 with only 78,000+ miles back to factory specs, the 727 TorqueFlite received the same restorative treatment. The 383 rides with electronic ignition after receiving all new gaskets, spark plug wires, plugs, and cap rotor. The 3.55 Sure grip rolls nicely on the streets while Rob clicks through the gears via the Slap Stick shifter.
Who: Bradley Childress
Where: Weitchfield, KY
What: '73 Plymouth 'Cuda
Fine Print: Dedicated to the memory of their son Bradley, Pat and Michelle Childress built this '73 'Cuda to the specifications that Bradley wanted before a fatal accident ended his life short. The car was painted in '70 Ralley Red paint with 340 billboards on the side, a '70 tail panel, shaved parking lights, shaved antenna, relocating it to the rear quarter similar to the AAR 'Cuda, a Ralley dash cluster, and Torque Thrust II wheels. Bradley persuaded his parents to purchase the car, wanting to perform the restoration himself making all the desired modifications. Wanting to honor their son's memory, mother and father dedicated a year to the restoration.
Who: Rob Shaner, 21
Where: Butler, PA
What: '87 Dodge 150
Fine Print: With the 440 coming stock, Rob's got one of the most potentially powerful vehicles from the factory in the line up. Rob went with a custom two-toned paint scheme when the time came for him to restore this truck to working order. The 440 received a set of Hedman headers and a 750 Holley. Rob installed a set of late-model Dodge wheels and a custom stereo system. 2 1/2-inch tubes tunneling into twin Flowmaster mufflers compose the exhaust system bolted up to the headers from the 440. Topped with a K&N air filter, this truck has room to grow and plenty to breathe as it roars down the highway.
Who: Josh McNeer, 26
Where: Newton, IA
What: '67 Plymouth Fury III
Fine Print: Kudos to Josh for having the only C-Body in the line up of Young Guns this year. When he bought the Fury, it has rust in both quarters, the floors, and trunk. The power options didn't work, the top was gone, the tranny needed a rebuild, and the interior was trashed. Josh started the body work and paint first. The top and interior followed. The transmission was rebuilt while the engine compartment was cleaned, painted, and detailed as well as the engine. New trim was located as wells as lenses and emblems. New Magnum wheels were bolted on with new rubber.
Who: Brian Harmon, 25
Where: Gaston, IN
What: '73 Dodge Dart Sport
Fine Print: Brian picked up this Dart from the previous owner who took on most of the restoration long before Brian bought the car. The high performance 360 had received the same kind of treatment, while the factory air conditioning and center console remained functional and original. By the time Brain took the Dart home, only minor cosmetic changes were necessary to bring it back. New bumpers, door handles, taillight bezels, and the like replaced the old plastics and faded chrome, making the Dart look fresh and clean like any good A-Body should be.
Who: Tom Aretakis, 18
Where: Clinton, MI
What: '69 Barracuda
Fine Print: Amazingly, this is one of the few 440-factory A-Body Darts that came out in 1969. The fast-from-the-factory coupe has been modified with a Super Stock chassis with a 440 roller .600 lift camshaft with Edelbrock heads. Tom doesn't need to rattle off mile after mile of engine internals and details regarding the aesthetics of his Barracuda because the car runs well into the 10.20s. And, just to rub it into the rest of our competitors, Tom is the one doing all the driving. Not too bad, he have to say.

Every time I clip in I repeat this phrase to myself: "Whatever the mind can conceive and believe, it can achieve." - Napoleon Hill
In this, my last blog post, I'd like to leave you with a summary of my mental training principles:
Belief - your mindset is critical to your success. Your belief in yourself and your supportive daily actions define and determine the outcome of your training. Conduct each training session "as if" you were performing in the same way as your mentor; reinforce your performance with positive thinking.
Commitment - establish clearly defined goals which reflect the quality of what you are capable of, and which respect your personal needs for rest and recovery. Review them at the beginning of each day and each training session.
Focus - maintaining attention in the current moment by exploring in detail the quality of each movement intensifies the training process and assists with controlling unproductive thoughts and actions.
Vision - consistently imagining success before each practice session, each performance and each day allows you to achieve what you have mentally conceived.
Centering - turning attention inward, and "training inside" allows you to perform at your best while effortlessly eliminating distraction.
Intuition - expanded awareness and attention to detail cultivates intuitiveness and allows for smart training. As you develop your ability to be responsive rather than reactive, you are able to eliminate training errors.
Relaxation - the greatest strength lies in yielding. Learning to soften your approach to training and performance develops flexibility, fluidity, suppleness and grace. All of which promote optimal performance.
Reflection - Silent, still moments of reflection allow you to contemplate your perceptions of your training and make adjustments that ensure your progress.
Life is short - enjoy the ride!

I am trying to play a song from my iPhone music library using AVPlayer. Everything seems ready to play, but the player simply won't make any sound. I've been struggling with this for a while, any help would be greatly appreciated!
Note: I realize I could use AVAudioPlayer, but I would like to read the file right from my music library and, to my understanding, AVAudioPlayer doesn't support that (I would have to export the song first, taking up more time). I cannot use MPMusicPlayerController because the end goal is to turn the song into NSData and play it on another device.
Above all, I would like to know WHY this code isn't playing:
NSArray *itemsFromQuery = [[MPMediaQuery songsQuery] items];
MPMediaItem *song = [itemsFromQuery objectAtIndex:29];
NSURL *songURL = [song valueForProperty:MPMediaItemPropertyAssetURL];
AVURLAsset *urlAsset = [[AVURLAsset alloc] initWithURL:songURL options:nil];
NSArray *keyArray = [[NSArray alloc] initWithObjects:@"tracks", nil];
[urlAsset loadValuesAsynchronouslyForKeys:keyArray completionHandler:^{
AVPlayerItem *playerItem = [[AVPlayerItem alloc] initWithAsset:urlAsset];
AVPlayer *player = [[AVPlayer alloc] initWithPlayerItem:playerItem];
while (true) {
if (player.status == AVPlayerStatusReadyToPlay && playerItem.status == AVPlayerItemStatusReadyToPlay) {
if (player.status == AVPlayerStatusReadyToPlay && playerItem.status == AVPlayerItemStatusReadyToPlay) {
NSLog(@"Ready to play");
[player play];
NSLog(@"Not ready to play");
The output is "Ready to play", and the "rate" property of the AVPlayer is 1.0 after I call the play method. The MPMediaItem exists, and I can use the valueForProperty method to obtain the correct title, artist, etc. Any ideas why no sound is coming from the player?

Neonatal Intensive Care Babies
In This Article:
Assisting your baby
Some babies need a little extra oxygen, while others need constant oxygen through a nasal tube. For very premature babies, a tube may be placed into the trachea (windpipe) and connected to a ventilator that blows oxygen into the lungs. Babies are monitored to see when they can be weaned off the ventilator.
Most babies in intensive care need one or more IVs to give fluids, blood, and antibiotics. Very small babies may be fed through a long, fine feeding tube running through the mouth or nose to the stomach. They may also need at least one blood transfusion, for some cases of conditions like anemia and jaundice.
Antibiotics are often given to prevent infection. Some babies need medicine to keep their blood pressure up, and many who are ventilated need medicine to sedate them and to prevent or treat pain.
The role of parents
How you can help your baby
For most, the experience of having their baby in a NICU is extremely stressful. Parents may feel that they have no role in the care of their baby; however, this is not the case. The most important thing you can do for your baby is to start expressing breast milk. Breast milk will nearly always be the best milk for a premature baby and can be stored in a freezer until needed.
You may be able to touch and stroke your baby and can be helped to cuddle him while he is on a ventilator. Babies thrive on skin-to-skin contact, called kangaroo care. You'll be encouraged to tuck your baby on your chest inside your shirt so that he can enjoy a close bond. Talking, reading, and singing to your baby helps him become familiar with you. You may be able to change his diaper and help with feedings, even if these are through a nasogastric tube.
Spend plenty of time with your baby, especially when breast-feeding since this may help the letdown reflex , but save some time for yourself too so that you conserve energy for when you return home with your baby.
As A Matter Of Fact
Babies who are nursed in a quiet, calm environment progress better
Research shows that babies who are cared for in quiet units with subdued lighting go home sooner that those who are nursed in a noisy unit with bright lights on throughout the day and night.

Try to follow the positive battery cable from the battery to the next connection. It may be the starter or a post mounted to a power distribution block in the engine bay. Check that connection for tightness and corrosion. It is possible (I had this happen in my truck) that the battery terminal to cable connection is bad. In my case it was the old molded lead style terminal. The connection would pass 12 volts but would not carry enough current to crank the starter. The other thing to check is the ground side of the circuit. Follow the ground cable to the end. It is typically attached to the block. Make sure it is tight on both ends. You may also have a ground strap or cable from the block to the body. They can be difficult to locate as they seem to put them where they can't be seen. The next time the problem occurs get out your jumper cables. Attach one clamp to the negative terminal of the battery.The color doesn't matter. Attach the corresponding clamp,(use the same color clamp) to something metal on the motor. Use an alternator bracket,a/c mount etc. then try to start the engine. If it starts you know the problem is in the ground side of the circuit, or the problem just went away as it has before.

We're experimenting as a Brass-Brass-Bass combo, and wondering what we can do to make the bass's job more interesting (besides throwing in more solos). Is it fairly easy to replace substantial portions with improvised walking-bass style lines and still retain the percussive properties of the bass sound?
Can a walking bass line be sufficient percussion for a (guitar) bass-brass-brass trio when playing blues?
A bass player can easily be the timekeeper for a jazz combo without drums.
I'm a bit confused by your question, specifically--
The properties of the timbre are going to be up to your bassist, but on what I am assuming is an electric bass guitar, you should be able to find a representative jazz bass tone: a bit of midrange and not too bright of an attack.
Timekeeping is inherent in a walking bass line, simply because it plays four quarters to the bar. Also, I really can't fathom what the bass player might have been doing instead of a walking bass line. Root movement half notes? Whole notes? Based on what you've stated in the question, I would certainly use a walking bass line as the default setting.
Maybe throwing in a few unison band lines might spice things up a bit?

Currently we have one bedroom for our two daughters. Until what age can they share their room?
Having one's own room can be nice, but it's never a necessity. It's only in the last generation or two that it became common to give children separate bedrooms instead of just having a boys' room and a girls' room.
Same-sex siblings don't need separate rooms, at least not if they're roughly the same age. Sharing a room teaches valuable social lessons. It's more a matter of how well they get along in general, and how much space you can afford.
I wouldn't put a 2-year-old in a room with a 12-year-old though, or two siblings that terrorize each other.
As one of 5 I shared a room with 1 brother and a sister for many years, then as elder siblings began to leave home we all started to get our own rooms:-)
My suggestion - make do with whatever space you have. If they fight and you can't solve that problem, then it may make sense to split them up, but otherwise it will depend on the space you have in your house/flat etc
There doesn't seem to be any law in the UK to stop children of the opposite sex sharing a room (advice on overcrowding) - which makes sense. I can't see why the same wouldn't be true for mainland Europe. So I think we can assume that children of the same sex can share a room as well.
With no legal reason compelling your daughters to sleep in separate rooms it becomes a personal choice. I can't say when they should stop sharing as that will be different for each set of siblings, but my 2 boys won't be separated unless I think it is affecting their sleep. Obviously as they get older the criteria may change.

This is a park worth seeing! Rustic, natural qualities arise from the sights and sounds of trickling streams, long grasses waving in the breeze, small ponds, and winding paths through wooded preserves. There is a play area as well as public restrooms, and the park itself is available for weddings and ceremonies.Acreage: 7.6
Licton Springs was once a healing center for Native Americans, who constructed sweat lodges and bathed in the mineral waters of the springs. After pioneer David Denny built a cabin near the springs in 1870, hundreds of settlers drove for miles to immerse themselves in the spring water and in the mud.
The springs site remained a picnic area until 1935, when E. A. Jensen bought the site and built a spa. Then thousands flocked to the springs to take the waters and dunk in the thermal baths. In 1960 Seattle voters approved the site as a park, and the City bought the springs in 1961.
Licton Springs still flows through the park. In addition, some discrete open creek channel sections still exist upstream of the park. Drainage/groundwater empties from a culvert into a short section of creek channel just upstream of Woodlawn Ave N (between N 100th and N 97th St.). The creek enters a culvert under Woodlawn Ave. N and daylights east of there. It flows in an open channel before entering a culvert on private property, conveyed in a culvert under N 97th St. and eventually empties into the park�s northeast corner, in the wooded area.
The creek flows southward through the park and eventually enters a culvert at the park�s far south end along Woodlawn Ave N south of N 95th St. The creek daylights again at Pilling�s Pond (duck pond at N 90th St. and Densmore Ave. N), crosses under N 90th St., and daylights along Ashworth Ave. N between N 90th St. and N 88th St. The creek enters the drainage system at N 88th St. and is piped from there on.
Historically, there were two springs within the park. The larger bathing spring at the park�s south end was filled with silt in the early 1960s. The smaller �iron spring� still exists today (somewhat modified) in the northwest corner of the park within the wooded area.
Currently groundwater and drainage from Bitter Lake and nearby feeds the creek through an extensive ditch, culvert, and stormdrain system. It is uncertain whether this was the creek�s true historic source. Additional groundwater and drainage may have been rerouted in this current system configuration to Licton Spring Park and eventually to Green Lake in the 1920s or 1930s. Early plans from the 1920s show the springs only as the source of the creek that drained to Green Lake. However, plans from the 1940s and 1950s show the creek channel existing within the park and upstream of N 97th St. The creek evidently was directed to the sewer system for some time due to water-quality issues until flow was again redirected into the drainage system. Flow enters a Metro Pump Station directing water to Lake Union. Overflows from the pump station are directed to Green Lake.

$$(2x)^3-(-3)^3$$ $$(2x-(-3))\cdot ((2x)^2+(2x(-3))+(-3)^2)$$ $$(2x+3)(4x^2-6x+9)$$
Now, to find solutions you must set each part $=0$. The first set of parenthesis is easy $$(2x+3)=0 ; x=-\left(\frac{3}{2}\right)$$
But, what I do not know is how to factor a trinominal (reverse of the FOIL method)
I know that $(a+b)(c+d)=(ac+ad+bc+bd)$. But coming up with the reverse does not make sense to me. If someone can only tell me how to factor a trinomial that would be great.

The other day, Fox revealed their new celebrity dating show, "The Choice", debuting this summer. It's "The Voice" meets "The Dating Game" sprinkled with a little "So You Think You Can Dance" courtesy of Cat Deeley. The British host will be serving double duty this summer for FOX by returning to SYTYCD and hosting this new reality guilty pleasure.
So what is "The Choice"? It's your opportunity to go on a date with a "celebrity". The six-episode series will feature singles pitch themselves as the ideal love connection to celebrity bachelors/bachelorettes who are seated with their backs turned to them a la "The Voice" during the blind auditions. If more than one celebrity turns around, the non-famous single person will get to choose who they want. From there, it goes to some sort of "Speed Choice" round, but I'll wait for Cat Deeley to describe that part when the show airs. This post is to reveal all the celebrities involved.
Appearing on the show are 20 male celebs and 4 female ones. They range from professional athletes, to reality stars to actors. If you've ever wanted to date Mike "The Situation", Olympian Jeremy Bloom or middle child Joe Jonas, then "The Choice" is the "choice" for you. Check out all the stars willing to sell themselves out for some television airtime. Truth be told, there are actually a couple of hotties. I'd even sign up for an opportunity to win them over.

When Philip asks Jesus, "Lord, show us the Father, and we will be content," what is he asking for? Obviously his categories were mistaken, because the answer to his request was standing right before him; but what was he anticipating Jesus would do? Was his request along the same lines as Moses' request, "Now show me your glory", in Exodus 33:18? Or was Philip hoping that they would be caught up into heaven to see the Father? Something else?

Philip wanted to see The Father with his own eyes, just as he sees the Son of God with his own eyes (Son of God == Jesus). To put it another way, he wanted to see The Father in physical form.
The 2 previous verses gives us a clue as to what triggered Philip to ask this question.
verse 6: Philip's train of though might have been "If Jesus can show me the Father, then why not ask? This would clarify so many things for me."
verse 7: Philip's train of thought might have been "That's confusing. How have I seen the Father? But if Jesus is right, then I want to see the Father [again]".

Is there any way out so that a video available online cannot be downloaded ? I have checked almost every way out and found that everything can be spoofed. So does anyone knows anything else that cannot be spoofed ?
You need to understand that in order for the human user to view the content, the browser (or some other software) need to download it. And when the content has been downloaded to the user's computer, you no longer control the access to it.
So-called "streaming" is just a download-mode where the standard viewer is programmed to automatically delete the content after it has been viewed by the human. However, this can be circumvented by either using a non-standard viewer (i.e. one that skips the deletion step), or by having another piece of software running that grabs the content from the frame buffer when it being viewed - and saves it permanently.
If it can be viewed, it can be captured.
If you're looking for absolute security, then no. Everything that can be seen can be downloaded. You can just make it harder. Screengrabbing will always work.
Not if someone really wants the content, no.
But to defeat casual users, you can try the following:
if they have stream capturing software, then you are out of luck, but they can't share the login with too many people, and they can't share the video url with anyone.

Why is it that some people won't set foot in another's sanctuary, even if it was for a non-prayer function? Can an orthodox person be in a reform style temple sanctuary for a lecture or concert? I understand possible discomfort with prayer services but sanctuaries are often used for other purposes.

Rav Moshe in his Igros Moshe EH 2:17 second paragraph he seems to make it clear that for davening it is for sure assur, and even when it is a wedding an Orthodox person should not go. This tshuva was regarding Conservative synagogues; I am guessing that all the more so this would apply to Reform.
I believe R' Moshe Feinstein has a responsum regarding an Orthodox rabbi performing a wedding at a heterodox synagogue, in which he says "your job as rabbi is to perform weddings, regardless of location", but I don't recall if he addresses the sanctuary-vs-social-hall aspect. Hopefully I'll find it later?
I don't have a citation (if somebody else does maybe they could edit it in, otherwise I'll keep looking) but R' Moshe Feinstein z'l rules that kefira (heresy) is the same as avoda zara (idol worship) with regards to the halachos of entering a place of worship, and that since reform and conservative reject many if not most of the Rambam's 13 ikarim (principals of faith), they are places of kefira and the actual sanctuary may not be entered.
Aside from this there is the issue of maris ayin (giving the appearance of wrongdoing). Even if there were not a specific law prohibiting entering the sanctuary, reform and conservative are not halachically legitimate movements and entering them as a religious Jew might give the false impression that their breaks with Torah are acceptable.
R' Moshe Feinstein z'l is no longer with us. This is an excellent question to demonstrate the dictum that you should have your questions answered by your Rabbi, not by a book. Of course, your rabbi will know of R' Feinstein's rulings, but he will also know of your circumstances, the reason for the proposed visit, etc.
A friend of mine, a black-hat from Monsey NY, was recently told by his Rabbi that it was permissible to attend the Shabbat Shareit bat-mitzvah (in a conservative synagogue) of my friend's niece (his brother's daughter). The Rabbi cited issues of peace within the family and not insulting my friend's brother as reasons to trump (in this particular case) the reasons for not attending.

I found in wp-commerce the words "Shipware" ...what does it means?
In addition, Where i can find videos or video tutorials/course of cms and plugins for e-commerce? Like Magento, etc. wp-commerce.?
I'm pretty sure you mean the wp-ecommerce plugin.
It supports integration with a service called ShipWire, so it's perfectly natural to find it's name in the code and nothing to worry about.
Try searching for wp-eCommerce videos on youtube for the tutorials, there are many.
I would check out WooCommerce from WooThemes it's a great ecommerce plugin from IMHO the best WordPress theme developers
shipwire is a warehousing, packaging and delivery service for online retailers. You can use it with WP e-Commerce. So the code is nothing to worry about. woocommerce is an excellent e-commerce plugin as well. As of April 2012 there is still no shipwire plugin for woocommerce

BELTON (October 9, 2012)-Cedar Crest Hospital & RTC will send 24 students to Belton schools after ending its contract with a charter school, which provided instruction on the treatment center campus, Cedar Crest CEO Ingrid Whipple confirmed Tuesday.
The students will be bussed from Cedar Crest to Belton schools, Assistant Superintendent Charla Trejo said.
The district has hired appropriate staff for the students from the hospital and will continue to address their educational needs, Trejo said.
Former Teacher, Anjee Locklin, says Belton ISD is doing their part.
"I think special needs kids deserve as much education as they can possibly get," Locklin said.
Locklin used to teach special needs students with behavioral problems at Belton High School.
"They may never actually make it to what we call 'the norm' for certain age levels, but they deserve just as much attention and education as our regular children do," Locklin said.
Many in the community are aware of Belton ISD integrating behavioral students from Cedar Crest.
So should Belton ISD parents be worried?
"I am concerned about it as a parent and I would be looking into it, but not in a bad retrospect," Locklin said.
"All these families of these children are wanting just as much as we want for our kids. To be educated, and to be cared for."
The decision about whether the arrangement is temporary or for the long-term rests with the hospital.
In the meantime, Belton ISD will provide education. It's something Locklin says the students at Cedar Crest deserve most.
"If we can't give it to them, I don't know who else will," Locklin said.
Cedar Crest provides residential treatment for children, adolescents and adults with a range of needs including behavioral problems.

Rafael Nadal's Bizarre Quest
Keep up the hard work, Rafael Nadal, and maybe one day you'll be the fourth seed at the French Open.
Nadal polished off another clay-court tournament Sunday, winning the Madrid Open, and remains a favorite to win an eighth French Open title in June. (His seven titles are a record.) Unless he wins the Rome tournament that begins this week, though, he'll arrive in Paris as the No. 5 seed. Wimbledon is the only Grand Slam that adjusts its seeding; the other three Slams rely on the current world rankings.
Nadal missed much of last season, plus this year's Australian Open, because of a knee injury, so he still trails Novak Djokovic, Andy Murray, Roger Federer and countryman David Ferrer in the rankings. To pass Ferrer for No. 4, he needs to defend his title in Rome.
If Nadal fails, he'll be in a difficult position in Paris: To win the title, he might have to beat Murray, Federer and Djokovic in consecutive matches. No one has ever beaten three members of tennis's "Big Four"—Nadal and the three aforementioned players—at a Grand Slam tournament.
Yet it has been done elsewhere. In 2007, David Nalbandian won the Madrid title after beating Nadal, Djokovic and Federer in his final three matches. If Nadal does it in Paris, it would make title No. 8 the most impressive of them all.
—Tom Perrotta

Accessibility is an important part of the technical communicator's toolkit. You could say it's a cousin of usability (or is usability a cousin of accessibility?) We cover topics that relate to accessibility in the field of technical communication. Some people think accessibility is a niche topic and that it doesn't concern them. However, WHO states that all people have some sort of disability! The word accessibility works when talking about specific techniques for web design or development, but the word "inclusion" is catching on more and more. Inclusion indicates that your product or service welcomes everyone and has an attitude of respect and tolerance. Big words, but we aim high.

What's a good example to illustrate the fact that a function all of whose partial derivatives exist may not be continuous?
The standard example I have seen is: $f(x,y)=\frac{2xy}{x^2+y^2}$.
I feel it's more informative to have the thought process that leads to the example rather than just be told some magic formula that works, however simple that formula might be.
Here is a way of explaining it. We'll decide that our function is going to be discontinuous at (0,0). In order to ensure that the partial derivatives there are defined we'll try the simplest thing and make the function zero on the two axes. How can we make sure that it is discontinuous at (0,0)? Well, a simple way might be to make the function equal to 1 on the line x=y. (If you object that that step was unmotivated, then read on -- it will become clear that I could have chosen pretty well any function and the argument still works.) How are we going to make sure that the function has partial derivatives everywhere? We could do it by trying to give it a nice formula everywhere. We care particularly about how the function behaves when you keep x or y constant, so let's see what happens if we try to choose the nicest possible dependence on y for each fixed x. If we do that then we'll be tempted to make the function linear. Since f(x,0)=0 and f(x,x)=1, this would tell us to choose f(x,y)=y/x.
Unfortunately, that doesn't work: we also need the function to tend to zero for fixed y as x tends to zero. But at least this has given us the idea that we would like to write f as a quotient. What properties would we need of g and h if we tried f(x,y)=g(x,y)/h(x,y)? We would want g(x,0)=g(0,y)=0, g(x,x)=h(x,x), and h(x,y) is never 0 (except that we don't mind what happens at (0,0). We also want g and h to be nice so that the partial derivatives will obviously exist. The simplest function that vanishes only if (x,y)=(0,0) is $x^2+y^2$. The simplest function that vanishes when x=0 or y=0 but not when $x=y\ne 0$ is $xy$. Multiply that by 2 to get 1 down the line x=y and there we are.
Now suppose we had wanted the value to be, say, $e^{1/x}$ at (x,x), so that the function is wildly unbounded near (0,0). Then we could just multiply the previous function by $\exp((2/(x^2+y^2))^{1/2})$.
The main point I want to make is that we could just as easily have chosen many other functions. For example, $\sin(x)\sin(y)/(x^4+y^4)$ vanishes on the axes and clearly does not tend to zero down the line x=y (in fact it tends to infinity).
I was travelling when this came up.
With the same results as Georges Elencwajg's comment and Marco's recent answer, take $$ f(x,y) = \frac{2 x^2 y}{x^4 + y^2} $$ and set to $0$ at the origin $(0,0).$ Along any line through the origin $ x = a t, \; y = b t$ the limit is 0, as $$ | f(a t, b t) | \leq a^2 | t / b | . $$ However, along the parabola $y = x^2$ the value is 1, and along the parabola $y = - x^2$ the value is $-1.$
To get "directional derivative" 0 in every direction through the origin switch to $$ g(x,y) = \frac{2 x^3 y}{x^6 + y^2} $$ as $$ | g(a t, b t) | \; \leq \; t^2 \; | a^3 / b | $$ when $b \neq 0,$ but then if $y = \pm x^3$...the directional derivative generalizes to the Gateaux derivative in other settings.
Consider $f(x,y)=1$ on the set $\lbrace{(x,y):y=x^2}\rbrace\backslash\lbrace(0,0)\rbrace$ and $f(x,y)=0$ on any other point.

I'm not a API person but a GIS user and I would like to export points from a category from Wikimapia to KML or any other useful GIS formats. Has anyone developed that? It could be interesting to add the analysis that we need to the data from wikimapia.
This link will give you the ge.kml file. Open it with Google Earth and you can then export subset POI's to kml.
The API can return KML, so you just need to do queries such as:
http://www.geodeg.com can export to KML files from Wikimapia
just enter name, category or location of POI, add them to poi list, and export
example : insurance companies in usa http://www.geodeg.com/search.php?q=insurance&language=&country=220
http://www.motomapia.com/ here we can pan to an area in wikimapia. The feature which become visible are stored in motomapia database. Then we can download the POI directly. The poi is saved as CSV. We can open the .csv file in software's like manifold systems and convert to kml.

From Aurora to Ouray, actors with the Colorado Shakespeare Festival are visiting schools to prompt discussions of difficult topics like gossip and bullying.
Some 26 percent of high school students report that other students have told lies or spread rumors about them, according to Beverly Kingston, director of CU-Boulder's Center for the Study and Prevention of Violence.
When the abridged version of "Much Ado About Nothing" arrives in schools, the production focuses on the potential damage caused by gossip and the power of language. Professional actors perform the play and then lead students in small group exercises exploring the issues raised.
"Every day, kids are faced with difficult issues like gossiping and spreading rumors," Kingston said. "This play brings these issues to life and empowers students to reflect on these topics and see how they can make better choices."
"Much Ado About Nothing" is the third anti-violence production co-created by the Colorado Shakespeare Festival and the Center for the Study and Prevention of Violence. The highly praised program previously featured versions of "The Tempest" and "Twelfth Night."
More than 46,000 Colorado schoolchildren have participated in the program since 2011. The actors receive special training and also help spread the word to students about Safe2Tell, an anonymous tip line to report bullying.
In "Much Ado About Nothing," Beatrice and Benedick are "frenemies" known for their constant verbal sparring. Their friends play a prank on them by gossiping within earshot about their mutual affection. In the meantime, the villain Don John fabricates a nasty rumor about Hero's infidelity, which results in her public humiliation on her wedding day.
"Gossip and rumors can quickly damage a reputation and can have a negative impact on a person's self-esteem," said Amanda Giguere, director of outreach for the Colorado Shakespeare Festival. "This play explores the power of words.
"When does a 'merry war' turn hostile? When does teasing go too far? What kind of damage can rumors cause? It's a perfect vehicle for engaging students with questions about the cycle of violence and the negative impact gossip can have on a school climate."
A key goal of the plays and workshops is to help students feel empowered.
"One of the best things schools can do is to promote a positive school climate where students feel physically and emotionally safe," Kingston said. "School climate is continuously created in every single interaction. This play is a tangible action toward building a positive school climate."
The Colorado Shakespeare Festival is a professional theater company in association with CU-Boulder and has performed the works of Shakespeare every summer since 1958. The Center for the Study and Prevention of Violence is part of CU-Boulder's Institute of Behavioral Science. The anti-violence school tour is funded in part through grants from CU Outreach, the Boulder Arts Commission, the OAK (Outstanding Acts of Kindness) Foundation and One Lafayette.

Katy Perry, Kim Kardashian or Salma Hayek: Who Wore Their Dirndl Best for Oktoberfest?
Koch Joerg/DPA/Abaca; Toni Passig/WireImage; Alexandra Beier/Landov
It's Oktoberfest in Germany and some of the sexiest–and bustiest!–stars got into the spirit over the weekend, suiting up in the traditional dirndl dress. Showing a public display of affection for Bavarian style, a bright-eyed Katy Perry donned a polka-dot dirndl for an appearance on the German variety show Wetten, dass…? in Munich on Saturday. Kim Kardashian also took her Bavarian beer girl role quite seriously, appropriately accessorizing her custom-made dirndl with pigtails and a pitcher of brew. She even took to her Twitter account to boast, "I love Germany! It's Vonderful here!" But these A-listers weren't the first to embrace the look. Two years ago, Salma Hayek donned the low-cut Bavarian dress, and almost exposed a little too much of her enviable assets, nearly missing a serious wardrobe malfunction during a performance on the German variety show. And while each brunette bombshell looked authentic in her dirndl, we can't decide who wore her traditional dress best. Tell us: Who had the best Oktoberfest dress? Vote below! –Jessie Goldberg

"I figured if a few coupons were good lets get more people involved and we've got five or six churches, several businesses," says Barbara.
Community Action of Southern Kentucky says the work of Jerry and Barbara bray goes above and beyond.
"Without volunteers like Barbara and Jerry our programs would not operate here, and these are our heroes because they make it work," says Kathy Bunch from Community Action of Southern Kentucky.
Since March 2009 the pair has put more than 4,000 hours of volunteer time into action. They started with Meals on Wheels but soon became RSVP volunteers for children at Parker Bennett Curry Elementary.
Barbara Bray hopes her help can make every child stronger.
"They need help. Every kid needs to feel special and if we can go over there and play with them, a game for 30 or 40 minutes, or take the time to read a book to her or something. I feel like that helps," says Barbara.
Now the duos volunteer work is also reaching overseas. Thousands of coupons are clipped, put into boxes and sent to military families every week. It's a small gesture the Brays hope make a big impact.
"I'm a veteran myself so I know how important it is to let them know that we recognize what we do and it's just a small way to pay their families for the sacrifice they have to do through," says Jerry.
"I figured if a few coupons were good lets get more people involved and we've got five or six churches, several businesses," says Barbara.
For their thousands of hours of volunteer work, improving our community and the lives of families across the globe, we honor Jerry and Barbara Bray as this week's Hometown Hero.

I've been trying to get past it for possibly 20 minutes. I can't hit it with a skyward strike or my slingshot. Fi says that it looks at pointy objects, but the only things that I can get it to look at are me and my sword. What am I supposed to do?
You're supposed to make it dizzy by rotating your sword in a circle (not a spin attack). Do it quickly, but not too quickly—if you go too fast, you'll start doing random swings, which won't work.
For the eyes that appear later in the temple, you need to have all of the eyes in a given room look at you at the same time in order to get past them. If not all of the eyes are open, they won't get dizzy and die no matter how fast you rotate your sword.
I'll start off with a hint, with the the solution posted in spoiler tags directly below it.
HINT : Make it dizzy.
Here's a video showing the solution:
Unlike in past games, you don't have to hit the eye. You have to sort of hypnotize it. As Fi says, eyes look at pointy objects, so they will stare at the point of your sword. Get your sword out and make a continuous circular motion for a couple of seconds while the eye is looking at it, until it "dies".
Break the box that is hanging down in the air, then push that off the ledge and put it in front of the eyes. Then swing your sword once the eyes are all open.
