The WotC product catalog is comprehensive. It includes novels and so on, but you can filter it by product type -- just core books, just accessories (non-core books), just adventures, or just miniatures, for example. You can also sort by date, author, title, and product line.
The current 4th Ed. offerings are somewhat divided into three parts: The starter set (Red Box), the Essentials series of books, and the "normal" -for want of a better term- tier of books. I haven't covered other settings than "Points of Light". I owe a lot to dnd4.com, so thanks. If you want release dates for most of the books listed, check there. More info about Essentials can be found at the appropriate wotc page.
The Red Box
The Red Box is a starter set, part of the Essentials lineup, designed to get people to start playing DnD 4E with a minimum of fuss. it includes the basic stuff to get things going: Player's and Dungeon Master's Booklets, a solo startup encounter, the "Twisted Halls" module, counters, dice, a foldup battlemap, simplified character sheets and power cards. The complaints I've read is that, while great for starting, it is also very limited, and once you want more it quickly gets obsoleted.
Core Books
H, P, E stand for Heroic, Paragon, Epic, the three experience tiers of DnD 4E. S stands for Standalone. So HS1 would be Standalone Module 1 in the Heroic Tier.
Missing from this answer, that I know of, are
This site here is a decent source for brief information on all the rulebooks for 4e, when they were released as well as upcoming releases. I took a quick glance through and it's fairly comprehensive of all the rulebooks I am aware of.

Cervical Cancer: Screening, Education, Hope
NCCC partners with Honduran cancer center to bring cervical cancer screening to rural Honduran women
The women travelled from 16 farming villages in the remote mountains of Honduras—some leaving at 4 a.m.–for "La Jornada," a cervical cancer screening and breast education clinic. Rooms in the school in El Rosario (a rural village of about 400 residents) were filled with exam tables and cubicles that villagers had made from trees cut earlier in the week. For two days researchers and physicians from La Liga Contra el Cancer in Honduras and Norris Cotton Cancer Center (NCCC) worked all day, screening 472 women for cervical cancer and human papillomavirus (HPV), leading information sessions on preventing HPV and how to do a breast self-exam,and guiding the women through an 8-minute survey about their background and education. The turnout was unprecedented as was the Jornada. Cancer prevention and screening is new to these rural villages.
La Jornada was a collaborative effort, organized by NCCC Director of Community Affairs Linda Kennedy, who worked with village leaders and oncologists from La Liga Contra el Cancer in San Pedro Sula, an urban center a 3-hour drive from El Rosario. As they offered cancer screening to the women, the organizers gathered information that NCCC researchers will analyze and share with physicians from La Liga, who are creating a comprehensive national plan to fight cervical cancer in Honduras. Women at the clinic who needed further care were connected to appropriate health professionals.
Cervical cancer, which is almost always caused by an HPV infection, is the most common cancer in women in Honduras and the first cancer among women 15-49 years of age. Vaccinating against HPV has helped cut cervical cancer rates in other nations, but it is not available there. And because Honduran women with cervical cancer are not diagnosed early, the cancer 5-year survival rate is below 2 percent.
"This is a cancer that is wholly preventable," Kennedy said. "But with no education, screening, or connection to treatment, rural Honduran women are at a tremendous risk for cervical cancer."
She describes the collaboration as mutually beneficial for all involved: The village women needed health information and access to cancer screening. The Honduran oncologists needed data and complex analysis to develop a plan that could mitigate their nation's cervical cancer problem. Cancer prevention education and population-based research are part of NCCC's work, and extending our research platform beyond clinical care is critical to our mission as a designated comprehensive cancer center.
At "La Jornada" each woman had a pap smear, evaluated by pathologists in Honduras, and was also tested for HPV. The HPV test is not available in Honduras, so the swabs were brought back to the NCCC lab of molecular pathologist Greg Tsongalis to identify the specific strains of HPV. Using the HPV and pap results along with other collected data, NCCC investigator Tracy Onega will complete a population based analysis of the disease. This information will be shared with the La Liga Contra el Cancer to create a Honduran cervical cancer database that can be used to inform a cancer prevention policy.
They village women all know cancer is a problem: they've watched loved ones die from the disease for years. But information can empower people to act. What they learned about breast health and cervical cancer from Dr. Mary Chamberlin will help them identify potential problems and take action to get further screening. The test results each woman receives will identify those who have cancer now, and they will be connected to immediate treatment.
"It is a joy to help women who realize that they have a health problem, and to help them resolve it," said Gloria Castro, an organizer in El Rosario after a long day at the Jornada.
One of the women who travelled to the clinic did not come for cervical testing or to learn about breast health care. A mother of four, she had a football-sized tumor growing in one of her breasts. Gloria knew there was an urban cancer center, but since had no money to travel 3 hours to get there she had been waiting, frightened and alone, as her tumor doubled in size in 4 weeks,
After examining her, the Jornada physicians encouraged Gloria to have treatment, including surgery and radiation. She found the courage to take the next step and was in surgery the following week.
"Coming here was a solution," she said. "I feel like an angel fell to me from the sky. Talking to doctors Ana and Mary gave me hope. Now I have a lot more hope"
When the NCCC team returned to Lebanon in October they left funds to cover Gloria's transportation to La Liga Contra el Cancer—they recently heard that her surgery was successful and she is healing well.

Inspired by this question and answers for it: what happens with a soul after one's death according to Eastern Orthodox doctrine? I'm interested in all variants.
Sign up

OK I'm finally getting around to answering this question. Unfortunately I'm limited on time so this is a summary of the Orthodox position. First of all, Orthodoxy's entire anthropology differs from Western Christianity (no original guilt/concupiscence). As such, their soteriology doesn't begin in the same place as Western Christianity and thus concludes differently. Many Western Protestants emphasize "getting saved" so that you don't go to hell when you die. The emphasis often has more to do with avoiding hell than going to heaven. But even heaven is not the goal nor focal point of Orthodoxy.
The point is to become "partakers of the divine nature" (2 Peter 1:4), being united with Christ and thus escaping corruption and death. As 1 Corinthians 15:22-28 says,
And so our emphasis is on Christ's defeat of sin, death, and Satan - and that this victory means that one day "God will be all in all." In other words, there will be no way to escape from God's presence. "Heaven" is not some place up in the sky that hides us from the underworld. "Hell" is not a place and it is not the absence of God. This also means that dying and going to heaven isn't the end of the story nor is it the focus. Eastern Orthodox Christianity is about "life after life after death" (to borrow a phrase coined by N.T. Wright), i.e. life after the final judgment, after the bodily resurrection (the notion of a disembodied eternal existence in a purely spiritual heaven or becoming angels are Gnostic concepts). This is important because Orthodox do not think of hell as a "place," it's more of a metaphor or concept. Everyone will be in God's loving presence when they die, but for some that will be paradise and for others it will be torment. Much of the Western concepts of heaven and hell are derived more from pagan cultures than from the scriptures, which only used these existing cultural terms to hint at transcendent mysteries.
As to what happens after physical death (other than being in God's presence), no one really knows (this is freely admitted by most Orthodox scholars). The best we have is speculation and the "hints" we get in the Bible. As such, there are a variety of "theories" in Orthodoxy (but this speculation is often not helpful). But where everyone agrees is that we go to be in God's unfiltered presence.
A note about praying for the dead. Presently, when we die, we all go to be in God's presence until we await the final judgment and bodily resurrection. We believe that it may be possible for individuals to change their disposition towards God's love after death. This is not dogma, but we hold out hope for this. Since death is a defeated foe (it's just not annihilated yet), we also ask deceased saints to pray for us since they are now in God's presence and also mystically present with us in worship. After the final judgment, it will likely be too late to change one's disposition, but we hold out hope that all might come to know God's love as a wonderful thing for all eternity (see more on this here). I don't have time to elaborate on this much more here, and it wouldn't be entirely on topic anyways.
If you'd like to read more in depth about this, check out this article.
Orthodox Tradition is made by saints, living temples of Holy Spirit. Many times, they let us testimonies for spiritual benefit of posteriority.
In 'Life of saint Basil the New' book, written by his disciple Gregory, is described what happened with the soul of Theodora after death, a widow who took care of the saint in her life. Her soul was judged passing through a series of tollbooths: slander, insult, lying, anger and rage, pride and arrogance, idle and obscene talk, usury and deceit, falsehood and vainglory, greed, drunkenness, grudge-bearing, sorcery, gluttony and epicurism, idolatry, sodomy and pedophilia, adultery, robbery, theft, fornication, mercilessness and cruelheartedness, sloth, stinginess, murder, heresy. Remarkable observation is that she passed all of them not by her own merits, but only just prayers of the saint Basil.
In the life of St. Anthony the Great (written by St. Athanasius the Great), he saw a vision of souls rising towards heaven and some being stopped by a large demon and cast down
Before die, saint Lazar, the Serbian Tsar, had a complete vision of the world, on the battlefield where his army was defeated by turks:
Only holy tradition of Orthodoxy recorded many testimonies like these, giving the complete view that can be known about life before and after physical death.
I've searched some answer by myself, and here's what I've found. According to the linked document, both Paradise and hell are Christ's eternal presence, perceived as bliss by truly faithfull and as burning flames by the others. After death a soul leaves body and goes to Christ, where it experiences bliss (Paradise) or torment (hell). These states grow to fullness after the Final Judgement and ressurection of bodies, when the body is involved too.
Addendum: another find addressing the way to Paradise or hell! According to it the soul should be going through this world for two days, on the third day be tested by demons and then visit souls in heaven and paradise. Before the 40th day when the Temporal Judgement comes, the eternal fate of the soul can be changed by prayers of the living and of the saints in Paradise (but livings' prayers can be stronger).

Guess what... I'm not dead. Yet.
You've also made it abundantly clear that I've been away too long, based on the emails, Tweets, and Facebook messages asking me things like: (1) are you okay; (2) have you finally snapped; (3) if you're dead, can I have all your stuff; (4) would you rather be Cagney or Lacey; and (5) are you holed up in a remote motel room with a stockpile of whisky and ammo?
Anyhow, I've done some
But for today, it's the end of the Fall 2011 semester, so I thought we could take a moment to reflect on several of the more important things we learned these past few months. (From what I understand, good teachers like to do this kind of shit, some kind of reflective learning thingie)
(1) In one of our health-related lectures, we learned how to avoid aneurisms. Basically by giving them to other people. Sharing is caring, right?
(2) We learned that scotch tape is the best way to remove lint from a shirt if you don't have a lint remover, and the best way to preserve pride and employment.
(3) I have a back up career as a fortune teller.
(4) We learned that it's best to change the "Sent from iPhone" message at the end of your emails.
(5) And finally, we learned how to make some damn good alcoholic beverages: the Nutty Professor and the Court of A-Peels.
Now allow me to have Success Kid point out a few highlights of my pathetic life over the past semester:
See you all on Thursday -- don't be late for class!!!

Georgia Wildlife Resources Division
2070 U.S. Hwy. 278, SE, Social Circle, GA 30025
Catching poachers and other wildlife violators often involves lengthy criminal investigations and require diligence and dedication on behalf of conservation rangers. Cpl. James Keener, representing Pickens County, was named Investigative Ranger of the Year for demonstrating determination and devotion in his work, which included a complex case with more than nine individuals charged with violations.
The Georgia Department of Natural Resources' Wildlife Resources Division names an Investigative Ranger of the Year annually.
"I commend Cpl. James Keener for his drive and efforts to apprehend these violators whom adversely affect our natural resources," says Col. Eddie Henderson, chief of law enforcement for Wildlife Resources Division. "The investigative work required for a case like this can be time-consuming and exhaustive. This work must be done along with all other duties the ranger carries out daily, so to successfully handle both requires great skill and dedication."
Cpl. Keener's investigation involved a poaching case in Pickens County. The case began with a complaint of spotlighting and shots fired. Over the next few weeks, Keener gathered information on the first suspect and the numerous additional violators involved. In total, nine poachers were charged with 53 violations. These violations included:
Fines for all nine poachers totaled more than $4,800, plus $800 restitution for the death of the cow, and additionally included varying levels of suspension of hunting privileges, community service, and probation dependent on the violations of each individual.
Other conservation rangers nominated for the award for their outstanding investigative work: RFC Brandon Pierce, Cpl. Brian Hobbins, Cpl. Robert Stillwell, Cpl. Jason Shipes and RFC Buster Cooper.
The Georgia Chapter of the Safari Club International sponsors this award. For more information about that organization, visit www.gasci.org [1] . For more information about Wildlife Resources Division Law Enforcement, visit http://georgiawildlife.com/enforcement/law-enforcement-section [2] .

WINTERSVILLE - The Jefferson County Airport Authority got its first look at the engineer's cost estimates for the planned $2 million runway extension project Monday.
Jefferson County Commissioner Tom Gentile said Baker Engineering had worked up a series of estimates for them based on a range of upgrade scenarios.
"These are rough estimates, just based on the different scenarios on how we could approach this," he said "The estimates didn't necessarily come in high; it just depends on the engineering standard we want to apply."

PROJECT DISCUSSED — New Airport Authority members Geno Morelli, left, and Geary Bates talk about the runway extension project Monday. - Linda Harris
Projects involving federal money must adhere to a 20-year engineering standard. Because no federal money is currently involved in the project, the more stringent - and costly - standards don't apply.
"It doesn't mean we want it to be built to a lower standard, it just means they don't have a say," Gentile said. "It's still a $2 million project, like it's always been."
The airport authority secured state funding to extend the runway to 5,000 feet, extend the taxiway by 1,200 feet and add a turnaround, all to accommodate the bigger jets now using the airport.
"We still believe we will be within budget on key components of what we want to do," Gentile said. "But we did have to move away from widening the runway, we don't have the money for it."
He said pilots they'd talked to said much as they'd like to see the runway widened, making it longer was critical.
"We'll eventually get there, but right now our goal is to get where we can be in compliance with the (runway length) the big jets need," he said, pointing out that, two years ago, airport traffic didn't justify the longer runway. The increased landings due to the shale oil and gas development, coupled with local investments, qualified the airport for the costly upgrade.
"The good news is we feel like we can cut back a little and still get what we want," he said.
Monday's meeting was the first for newly appointed members Geno Morelli and Geary Bates, chosen by the county commissioners to fill vacancies on the board.

rockclimber, aint my money but... the dixi ebay pedals are listed at 17mm height. That's no different than the many other generic pedals in height, meaning that although they took a lot of styling cues from Crampon pedals, they are just that, the look without the function. So at $65, it's a ripoff when you could have the real thing for double that with both function and style. Again, aint my money, if you pull the trigger and guinea pig it, please post your review here for us to see.

I need to start the design and development of a new framework to interact with an open source ECM. This inludes a customized data model to help web site developers interacting with this ECM, so they don't need to care about the details of nodes manipulation and other low level details. That's just a bunch of classes and methods to develop.
I have some doubts about how to handle the organization and managment of that project: Are there some general rules to follow, tips, best practices or something to keep in mind for developing this kind of project?
I'm sure there are some difference between the development of a framework or library and an application.

WHEELING - All good things come to an end and Monday was the end of Wheeling Park's OVAC championship run.
The Patriots were defeated by Morgantown, 2-0, in the OVAC Cup Tournament final at Wheeling Island Stadium, halting their championship streak at four.
''It just didn't go our way,'' Wheeling Park coach Mario Julian said. ''We tried some different things to get our offense going and we had some chances but just didn't get many shots on frame. We didn't pressure them as much as I'd have liked.
''After the game, we talked about there being 25 OVAC champions and if we would have won them all, we'd be 25-0. We still have a lot of them and that is something to be proud of. We will be back in this game in the future, I am sure of it.''
For Morgantown, its the first in school history in just the first try for the Mohigans. They are also the first No. 8 seed to be crowned champions.
''They had a lot of heart and it showed,'' Morgantown coach Joe Melia said. ''When we play with the heart we showed (Monday), we know we can play with anybody.
''We beat Park in a scrimmage game and we beat them. In the regular season, we were too easy on them. We knew that and we didn't play well. We knew we had to come out and be very aggressive.''
That aggressiveness showed from the opening whistle as the Mohigans applied pressure on Wheeling Park and forced some excellent scoring opportunities.
Each time, though, Patriots goalie Ryan Seidewitz was there to turn the Mohigans away and keep his team in it.
But a foul in the penalty box in the 20th minute gave Morgantown a penalty shot and Chris Atallah converted, beating Seidewitz low and to the left.
That score held up through halftime and Wheeling Park entered the second half with a renewed aggression.
Wheeling Park looked like it would tie it up as Ronnell Davis sent a perfect through ball to Jerry Lucas in the opening minutes of the second half, leaving the senior one-on-one with Morgantown goalie Daniel Berrebi.
But Lucas' shot went wide and Morgantown maintained its one-goal lead.
The Mohigans added an insurance goal in the 50th minute as David Minehart sent a perfect volley on a direct kick that Grant Jones headed past Seidewitz for a 2-0 lead.
''It was perfect,'' Melia said. ''I actually yelled at Minehart because he was being such and aerial threat that I didn't want him to take it. But he placed it perfectly and Grant headed it in. I couldn't have been more pleased.''

Mellifluous, maybe?
I'm not sure if you are looking for an adjective that describes them, or a noun.
"Phonaesthetics" describes the study of such things and the appropriate word would be "euphony" or "euphonious":
Edit in response:
The phrase "articulatory phonetics" describes "how humans produce speech sounds via the interaction of different physiological structures." Phonaesthetics describes the more abstract aesthetics associated with speech. "Phonetics" includes the physical motion of speaking. Therefore, I claim that phonaesthetics includes the physical aesthetics of speech. "Euphony" refers to the pure sound aesthetics but either of these two terms should work:
Mellifluous seems like a good fit. It itself is pleasing to say (a bonus!). :-) It comes from the Latin for "flowing" and "honey".
Using @MrHen's answer as a springboard, I jumped around Wikipedia's phonetic entries some and came across liquid consonants, of which English has two, /l/ and /r/. There's this on the etymology of the term:
Apart from the technical definition of the term here, I like liquid as a possible answer to my question, all the more so because it is actually used in a phonetical context.
The others are good Romance derivatives. A recently popular phrase with obvious meaning is:

SAN ANTONIO (October 5, 2012)--The family of Marine Lance Cpl. Benjamin Whetstone Schmidt of San Antonio, who was killed in Afghanistan, is creating an endowed professorship Texas Christian University in Fort Worth to honor his love of history.
Schmidt, who was killed by friendly fire in combat last year at the age of 24, dreamed of earning his doctorate in history from TCU and becoming a professor.
So his father, David Schmidt, who is the San Antonio Spurs' team doctor, and his father's wife Teresa are giving $100,000 to the school to create the Lance Cpl. Benjamin Whetstone Schmidt Endowed Professorship in History.
Schmidt's parents plan to raise a total of $1 million for the professorship.
David Schmidt says his son went to TCU for three semesters before joining the Marines.

Daily Disposable Contact Lenses – a Growing Trend in the U.S.
May 11, 2012 1 Comment
Daily disposable lenses have been the best-selling lens in Europe and Asia over the past few years and here in the United States, the trend is just catching on.
A few years ago there were very few options available for daily disposables in the country. If you had astigmatism or needed multifocal lenses, your only options were extended wear contacts or glasses.
Lately, contact lens manufactures have begun to take notice and now there are options for just about anyone. Acuvue, for example, offers standard daily disposables in both 30 and 90 day supplies and there's a new daily disposable lens for astigmatism as well that comes in a 30 day pack. Do you need multifocal lenses? CooperVision will soon have their Proclear brand available in a new daily disposable multifocal lens in a 30 day pack. Do you like colored contacts? Freshlook offers a 10 pack of colored daily disposables as well.
Have you considered making the switch to daily disposables? Here are a few things to consider
-Comfort is a big plus. Imagine wearing a fresh pair of lenses every day!
-No cleaning required! You throw them out every night, so there's no need to clean and disinfect your lenses at night. In the morning, simply put in a fresh pair.
-Don't wear lenses often? Great! You can wear a new pair every time you wear contact lenses. You don't have to keep your lenses soaking in solution for days or weeks in between wears.
-Price. While the daily disposable lenses are a little more expensive than traditional extended wear lenses, they're much easier to maintain and save money by not requiring lens solution and cases.
If you're interested in a disposable daily lens, please consult your eye doctor for more information and to get a prescription.

A friend and I were thinking about doing a Colosseum battle to the death with our group, for game sessions when not everyone was there, or just to let people test out character builds.
What we were considering was a system where everyone carried an extra 5th level character with them, and we'd let said characters duke it out for fun. Getting past all the rules we decided on for the specifics, we kept coming across a single problem.
How do we create a scenario that is equally beneficial/hindering to two characters, regardless of base-class?
Obviously, predisposition to combat will aid any character. However, given that all classes can be min/maxed for combat, we want to create an environment that won't favor one type of combatant.
Example issues:
Fighter vs. Rogue: without cover, fighter has clear advantage. With cover, fighter is suffering unfair negative.
Wizard vs. Fighter: at close range, fighter has clear advantage (can close distance quickly and disallow spellcasting). At long range, wizard has clear advantage (time to cast spells and prepare for fighter approach while harassing fighter and maintaining range)
We want to make the environment as minor a factor as possible in this, with dice-rolls, strategy, and character-effectiveness being the deciding factors.
Any suggestions on how to accomplish this? Can it even be done?

Brondell Swash 300 Electronic Bidet Toilet Seat - Wash….Don't Wipe for $199.20 + free shipping
coupon code: WOOT2012
For real fun, hook it up and don't tell anyone.
23 Comments add a comment
Ok deal, The warm air dryer would be a nice addition, butt.....
Looks like the coupon code works on all models, not just the 300.
Also seems to be working for all the other products too. 20% off across the board
Hmm.. could I use the remote from another room? :)
This deal is a pisser.
The ability to use the remote from another room would make this well worth $200 IMO.
You could save an A$$ load of money on toilet paper if you have a female in the house. Not to mention all the fun with plungers when said paper clogs the the pipes. I wonder if any major retailers have this product on display...appears to be a lot of electronics and mechanisms between the user's backside and the back of the seat.
@maybejet: fyi....Home Depot has the Swash 300 displayed in store and stocked at select locations - mostly in northern California
Will it measure the size of my dood in kuricks?
@sf9292: Thanks for the "heads" up!
Will someone PLEASE tell me how to use the three seashells??!!!??!?
Serious question: Anyone know how these compare to the TOTO washlets? Really been wanting something like this since taking a trip to Japan and realizing their superiority. I don't want to spend a whole lot for something that is going to fail or is not made well.
will this comb my hair?
You're not going to save anything in bogroll paper or blockages. You still have to dry your arse and those inconveniently nearby parts off with something. A Roman-style "family sponge" on a stick would seem to be the clear winner here.
@rfsmit: Ahhh....The coupon works for all models, so the super super Swash 1000 with the warm air dry is the way to go. If the seat is padded and swivels a bit, I've found my new office chair!!!!
My wife and I purchased a Swash 800 (older model) on a previous Woot. We have used it for two years now, and I can tell you that if something happened to it we would buy another immediately. As their advertisement says, once you have one of these you will wonder how you ever got by without one. I recommend the electric models (Model 300 and above) because they have the heated seat (it's a beautiful thing) and they cleanse you with warm water. The 100 model squirts cold water on the nethers, which I would think would be an assault to the senses.
And yes, the wireless remote works from an adjacent room, which has been a source of great entertainment.
I've have this for several years, and in the event anything ever happened to it I would rush out and by another as well. These are well made products, and definitely a nice luxury.
So serious question. Are bidets supposed to replace toilet paper for the most part? I just can't imagine that a "water fountain" is going to be able to do the job.
@wisenekt: Yes they do, for the most part. A quick check wipe is always recommended. The warm air dryer versions dry you enough that you are dry. Costco has a vastly superior model in store for $200
@wisenekt: It has significantly reduced our consumption of toilet paper. The fountain is fairly powerful and quite effective. Like videowallart, I usually will do a single check wipe/final dry. Our model has the warm air dry, but I am not usually willing to invest the time that would be required for it to completely dry things.
@videowallart @werowance - I might have something wrong with me then cause I feel like I would need something close to an enema versus some water splashing along the cheeks, unless again I really don't know how these things work.
@wisenekt: It is not a cheek splashing. Not to get too graphic, but visualize a powerful squirt gun (like one of those Super Soakers) filled with warm water in the hands of a skilled marksman.
@werowance: Ok, that makes a lot more sense. Appreciate the description, I really couldn't get a description anywhere else I was looking.

Invicta Women's Pro Diver Wildflower Quartz Mother-of-Pearl Dial Watch w/ Seven-Piece Leather Strap Set
Choices: Butterfly, Flower or Heart dial accent
Stunningly sweet yet completely capable, this Invicta Pro Diver Wildflower is more than meets the eye!
Constructed on a round gold-tone stainless steel case, this Pro Diver features a gold-tone texture edged push/pull crown. A fixed gold-tone bezel graces the top of the case with complete poise and boasts a diver's scale and Arabic numerals. Housing a powerful Japanese TMI PC32 Quartz movement, this Pro Diver runs smoothly.
Nestled beneath a Flame Fusion crystal, the round white mother-of-pearl dial presents a chic charismatic dial. The butterfly choice features three butterflies accenting the dial with 32 crystal embellishments at 2:00, 8:00 and 10:00. The flower choice shows three flowers accenting the dial with 43 crystal embellishments at 1:00, 5:00 and 10:00. The heart choice features three hearts embellished with 33 crystals below 12:00, at 5:00 and at 10:00 with another small gold-tone heart at 7:00. You'll never be late with the round black index markers at all of the hour positions around the dial. Keep your outfits coordinating with luminous Tritnite hour, minute and seconds hands highlighting the dial in gold-tone trim. A date window appears near 3:00 and the Invicta name shines below 12:00.
Step out in style with this Pro Diver's traditional leather strap. Mixing and matching is a breeze with seven interchangeable straps in black, light blue, light green, light pink, mahogany, orange and white. The options are endless! The strap stays in place with a gold-tone buckle clasp and two strap coordinating keepers. The Invicta logo dazzles on the buckle while the Invicta name and logo and "Genuine Leather" dance along the back of the straps. Fitting a wrist up to approximately 8-1/4", this Invicta Pro Diver Wildflower is as pretty as it is powerful!
Additional Features: Watch comes packaged in Invicta Special Edition box with instruction manual and warranty information. Movement and timepiece made in Japan.
To view the actual case size, Click Here.
Analog-Digital Display (ana-digi): Watch that shows the time by means of hour and minute hands (analog display) as well as by numbers (digital display).
Arabic Numerals: Popular counterpart to Roman numerals consisting of 1,2,3, etc; Became popular during the 18th century and typically allow for more space on the dial for complications.
ATM: Commonly used measurement in water resistance; Stands for "atmospheres" or the amount of pressure a watch can withstand before leaking; One atmosphere is equal to 10 meters of water pressure.
Automatic Movement: Type of movement where the mainspring is wound via the movement of one's own arm; Movement of the arm causes the rotor to rotate, which in turn winds the mainspring; Similar to mechanical movements, except winding is not manual.
Bezel: Retaining ring surrounding the case and securing the crystal; Sometimes incorporates unidirectional or ratcheting movements, as well as additional benefits such as chapter markers.
Case: Timepiece's container; Protects the movement from dust, dampness and injury; Common case shapes are round, tonneau, rectangular and square.
Chronograph: Timepiece capable of both timekeeping and stopwatch functions; Chronographs are a unique and valued complication due to their ability to measure increments of time.
Chronometer: High-precision timepiece that has been tested and is certified to meet precision standards; Chronometer watches often come with certificates indicating their certified status.
Complication: Any feature added to the timepiece that does not indicate hours, minutes or seconds. Popular complications include chronographs, tachymeters, date windows and exhibition backs.
Crown: Small, cap-like device located on the side of a case that allows the user to set time or manually wind watch.
Crystal: Transparent cover on a watch face that gives view of the dial; Sapphire and mineral are the most common crystals used today.
Date Window: Reveals the numeric day of a given month.
Deployant: Type of clasp that keeps the closing mechanism hidden, creating an uninterrupted look for your bracelet or strap.
Dial: Plate beneath the crystal showcasing the timepiece's features; Sometimes referred to as the face of a timepiece, the dial indicates hours, minutes and seconds, as well as complications such as date windows and sub-dials.
Dual Deployant: Similar to a deployant clasp, except it uses two hinges to fasten or open, as opposed to one.
Dual Time Zone: Timepiece that simultaneously gives time in two time zones.
Exhibition case: Unique complication wherein a crystal is implemented into the case back, allowing view of the timepiece's movement.
Greenwich Mean Time: Refers to the Royal Observatory in Greenwich, England where mean time is kept; Located at the prime meridian of the world, GMT is thought of as "the world's time".
Jewels: International term referring to the rubies, sapphires or other gemstones used as bearings in a watch movement; These bearings are set to reduce friction in a movement and help the delicate parts of the movement work smoothly and with great precision.
Mechanical Movement: Type of movement where the winding crown is used to power the movement; Needs to be manually wound after an elapsed period of time; Sometimes accompanied by a exhibition back to display its old-fashioned sensibilities.
Mineral Crystal: Technical term for glass; Standard crystal used in timepieces today.
Minute Repeater: Timepiece that sounds hours, quarters and minutes as requested.
Moon Phase: Complication on a timepiece that displays the various stages of the moon; Stages include new moon, first quarter, full moon and last quarter.
Mother-of-Pearl: Dial material that has been cultivated from the inside of certain shells; Provides an iridescent surface and gives timepieces a rich aesthetic.
Movement: Assembly making up the principal elements and mechanisms of a watch or clock; Includes the winding and setting mechanism, the mainspring, the train, the escapement and the regulating elements.
Perpetual Calendar: Complication that exhibits the days in a Gregorian calendar, the most common calendar used today; Automatically adjusts to months with different amounts of days in them.
Power Reserve: Time a watch will continue running based on the movement's residual winding of its mainspring; In quartz and digital watches, this can also refer to the amount of energy left in the battery.
Push Button Dual Deployant: Similar to deployant clasps, with the addition of two small hidden push buttons that spring your clasp open.
Quartz Movement: Most common type of movement used in modern timepieces; Vibrating at a high frequency and placed under an electric current, quartz movements provide accurate time without the need to wind.
Repeater: Complex watch mechanism that sounds hours, quarters or minutes, or repeats them on request; Originally designed to help the wearer to tell the time in the dark.
Retrograde: Hour, minute, second or calendar hand that moves across a scale and resets to zero at the end of its cycle.
Sapphire Crystal: High-end crystal that adds greater value to a timepiece; The only natural substance able to harm a sapphire crystal is a diamond.
Skeletonization: Cutting away unnecessary metal from the movement to allow the wearer to actually see through the movement; Any part that is not needed is carved out, leaving only the movement's skeleton.
Subdial: Smaller dials located on the main dial of a timepiece; Used to measure seconds, minutes or days.
Tachymeter: Popular complication that measures distance based on speed; Typically located along the outer rim of a dial.
Water resistant: Watches described as simply "water resistant" can handle light moisture, such as a rainstorm or splashes from a sink, but they should not be completely submerged in water for any length of time; A commonly used measurement in water resistance is ATM, which stands for "atmospheres" or the amount of pressure a watch can withstand before leaking. About Leather:
Commonly acquired from cattle, leather is animal skin that is typically a byproduct of the nation's meat industry. Animals such as bison, deer, elk, moose, pigs, goats, rabbits, sheep and caribou can also be used. Once the skin is removed from the animal, it is quickly preserved in salt. It is then cleaned, put into a chilling machine to lower the hide's temperature, and tanned to prevent deterioration. Upon completion of this process, the leather is ready to be made into retail items. Leather goods are strong, flexible, supple and long lasting.

7 Movies That Put Insane Detail into Stuff You Never Noticed
#3. Harry Potter and the Goblet of Fire: Quidditch World Cup Paraphernalia
No one would argue that the Harry Potter universe is as detailed as The Lord of the Rings (it helps that no author beats Tolkien for sheer obsessive attention to inconsequential details). But the makers of the Potter films didn't exactly knock the series out in an afternoon, either.
Take the massive Quidditch World Cup sequence in the fourth movie.
They actually got all those people to pretend Quidditch was interesting.
A ludicrous amount of detail went into the stadium merchandise that you almost certainly didn't know was even there. For instance, the crew created hundreds of Quidditch World Cup programs to be carried by the people in the crowd. And we're talking about full guides to the sport -- including specific stats and profiles of the competing teams:
HP Univers Galeries
They even wrote up fake tabloid articles about Viktor Krum's dogfighting ring.
Various sponsors of the World Cup:
And even advertisements for products from within the Harry Potter universe:
HP Univers Galeries
Shame on them for promoting the specter of pumpkin juice abuse in youngsters.
If you're wondering why you never noticed the programs, it's because only a single one ever appears onscreen, in the background of exactly one shot:
Totally worth it!
#2. The Shining: Jack's Entire Crazy Manuscript
As we've discussed before, Stanley Kubrick wasn't exactly known for his restraint when it came to nailing down the fine details -- even those that wouldn't show up on film. Well, here's a gloriously ironic example of Kubrick's madness.
Because there aren't very many of those.
You know the scene where Shelley Duvall goes through the novel Jack Nicholson is writing, only to discover that it's just the phrase "All work and no play makes Jack a dull boy" repeated over and over again, thousands of times? You know how that was supposed to foreshadow his axe-crazy rampage, since no sane person would ever do something like that?
Stanley Kubrick was no sane person.
"Boy, that really doesn't look like a photocopy ..."
The Shining's editor (in the link above) and Kubrick's daughter Vivian claim that the director made his own secretary spend "literally months typing up individually unique pages," basically forcing her to go down the same path of madness as Nicholson's character. We can only assume that the only reason he didn't make Jack Nicholson do it is because he's Jack fucking Nicholson, the only person in Hollywood who could outclass Kubrick in troll-bludgeoning lunacy.
For example, Nicholson did not know the camera was rolling during this scene.
Then there are the foreign versions of The Shining -- remember that most movies make a big chunk of their profit overseas. They probably just used subtitles, right? That is, Kubrick didn't have special pages typed up for each foreign-language version, right?
Of course he did.
#1. Finding Nemo: The Entire Pixar Staff Was Required to Learn Fish Biology
Pixar is not exactly known for their laziness. Given the immense amount of time it takes to animate an entirely CGI film (typically several years), they have plenty of opportunities to perfect their scripts and pour endless amounts of detail into every frame. What you might not realize is that when they set out to make a movie about talking fish, they dedicated themselves to making the movement of the fish as realistic as possible -- going so far as to hire a functional morphologist to teach the entire staff a graduate-level class in ichthyology.
Also, everything the stingray sings is factually accurate.
Unlike other movies, where "underwater" is treated like "space" and characters just go wherever they want to, every movement of every fish in Finding Nemo makes physical sense and is accompanied by the correct fin propulsion, even down to whether those fins are "flappers" or "rowers" (referring to how they tread water). It is as if Pixar were daring people to count all the ass they had busted in animating the movie.
You also might remember the jellyfish scene:
You know, the one with all the jellyfish.
You may have said, "Damn, those are some realistic jellyfish," if you are the kind of person who was theretofore frustrated by the depiction of jellyfish in film. That's because Pixar actually wrote an entirely new system, called transblurrency, to depict the way light refracts through a jellyfish's membrane, as well as figuring out exactly how to show things fading into view underwater -- because no one had ever done that with computers before:
Let's see you advance the frontier of human knowledge, DreamWorks.
Of course, this is all wasted effort, since clownfish are sequential hermaphrodites. So in the real world, after his wife was eaten by a barracuda, Nemo's dad would've just turned into a female and had sex with another clownfish, abandoning Nemo's half-crushed gimp egg to be eaten by a crab. Do your homework next time, Pixar.

Looping through a DataStore
Having set up a datastore, how does one loop through, accessing all the elements e.g. given
for(var i=0;i<ds.getTotalCount();i++){ .... }
18 Apr 2007 10:29 AM #2
I've done it as follows:
for (var i = 0; i < ds.getCount(); i++) { if (ds.getAt(i).data.isselected) // isselected is a field in my store s += ' ' + ds.data.items[i].id; } Ext.MessageBox.alert('Results', s);
18 Apr 2007 10:34 AM #3
You could use the each method, or getRange(0, count-1). The data property isn't really public , but it's equivalent to the getRange callTim Ryan

Looping through store..infinite loop?
Using the above example posted by Fay, I get an infinite loop. Since i begins at 0, which is the beginning record address for the datastore and getCount() returns the actual number of records (1 if 1 exists), i will always be less than getCount...or am I missing something here?
8 May 2007 3:45 AM #6
Use each method as recommended by Tim. Veeeery easy.
8 May 2007 12:36 PM #7
Hi Eric,
I was incrementing i in the for loop (i++), but I now also use the each() method which I never knew existed before! My jaw has repetitive strain injury from thanking Tim I really can't get over the amount of time and effort that these guys/gals put into helping us!
12 Jun 2012 2:28 AM #8
Hi !
I have a requirement a little different. I need to create some grids based upon the number of records in the store..
Something like
var mySitePanelStore = new Ext.data.Store({
url: "exampleUrl",
I have a panel like.....
var mySitePanel = new Ext.Panel({ width: '100%',
height: 800,
split: false,
layout: 'absolute',
autoScroll: true
What I want to do is something like...
var i =0;
mySitePanelStore.on('load', function(store, records, options)
mySitePanelStore.each(function(record) {
//create new panels and add it to an already defined bigger panel
var myIndvSitePnl = new Ext.Panel({ width: 200,
height: 300,
frame: true,
baseCls: 'x-box',
bodyStyle: 'background-color:lightblue',
x: i*200,
y: 25
This code does not create any of the smaller inner panels though the alert message inside loop suggest that the records on the stored are traversed.
Does anyone has a solution to this? I am using extJs 3.2.1

I don't know where to add this and I'm now like a nervous squirrel paranoid that I'm going to say something wrong. But I only have one reputation point so what have I got to lose? The fact is, getting the crap down-voted out of you is a sure way to become quite disenchanted with SE. (Not to mention once your reputation is null you can't do anything anyway.)
It seems there's some great disharmony between SE's official public face (Hey come on in, we're here to help!) and the actual tone that comes across from the superusers (Your question disgusts me. Please leave and never come back.)
I get the point that penalizing bad questions/answers is a way to mold users into being more thoughtful. But beyond a token wrist-slapping I think it does more harm than good.
I appreciate SE because it isn't like the forked-tongued listservs of yesteryear. I'm afraid if we only listen to those with a buttload of reputation and forget about Mr Newguy who's still figuring this thing out, we'll be back where we started.
How about a limit where a person can't get down-voted beyond, say 5% of their reputation?

There was an interesting (tantalizing to me) commentary written by Adam Gopnik on these fantasy fictions: The Sword of Shannara / The Lord of the Rings / The Simarillion / The Children of Hurin, JRR Tolkien and so-called his follower Christopher Paolini (the Eragon series) in New Yorker (December 5), which was titled "The Dragon's Egg."
I say tantalizing because I have almost no knowledge of these works apart from "The Lord of the Rings" (that I only know as a movie). I know even less of Ossian (third century Irish bard) and other medieval bards quoted in the article as if they are common knowledge.
The commentary ends with the following sentences:
We mostly learn that lore in the form of conventions - how you hold the knife, where you put it, that John was the witty Beatle, Paul the winning one. Learning in symbolic form that the past can be mastered is as important as learning in dramatic form that your choices resonate; Being brought up to speed is as important as being brought up to grade. Fantasy fiction tells you that history is available, that past counts."
I don't understand what the phrase "being brought up to Speed is as important as being brought up to Grade" means. What have "Speed" and "Grade" to do with the benefits of fantasy fictions? Can somebody explain it for me?

Practice Good Hygiene
Since peptic ulcers are sometimes caused by infection with Helicobacter pylori , you should follow hygienic practice to decrease your risk of becoming infected. Be sure to:
Stop Smoking
Smoking has been associated with the development of peptic ulcers because ulcers that do form are slower to heal. If you are a smoker, talk with your doctor about programs that can help you quit.
Decrease or Stop Using Alcohol
Overuse of alcohol, especially in combination with nonsteroidal anti-inflammatory drugs, has sometimes been thought to increase the risk of peptic ulcers. Nonsteroidal drugs are definitely proven causes of ulcers, but the causal role of alcohol remains somewhat uncertain, especially in combination with smoking. However, alcohol misuse is a serious health problem regardless of its relationship to ulcer disease. If you can't stop drinking on your own, contact your doctor for help and support.
Only Use NSAIDs if necessary
If you need to use pain medicines, your doctor may recommend you use a medication other than an NSAID. Try not to take NSAIDs on a regular basis, Instead, only use them when necessary and as directed.
Ask About Protective Medications
If you have a medical condition that requires you to take large doses of NSAIDs, ask your doctor about using medications like sodium sucralfate, omeprazole, or misoprostol to help protect your stomach against ulcers.

I have read that if a variety $X$ has KLT singularities, then it has quotient singularities in codimension 2. Do you know a proof (or where can I find a proof) of this?
(For some reason first I thought that the question was only in dimension $2$...)
The essence of this statement (in dimension $2$) consists of two facts that are useful anyway:
For the general case see Prop. 9.3 in Greb, Kebekus, Kovács, Peternell: Differential forms on log canonical spaces, Publ. Math. Inst. Hautes Études Sci. No. 114 (2011), 87–169.
A heuristic way of seeing why this should be true is the following: Take a klt singularity and localize at a codimension $2$ point. You get a klt surface which is a quotient singularity by the above argument. The problem with this approach is that the residue field at the codimension $2$ point is not algebraically closed so you would either have to pass to the algebraic closure or analyze singularities over non-algebraically closed fields and then once you have the localized quotient singularity description prove that it comes from one in the original situation. All of this is possible to do, but not entirely self-evident. The proof referenced above proceeds in a different way.
I guess you are considering normal singularities. In this case you can probably use [Kollar-Mori, Birational geometry of algebraic varieties, Corollary 5.21 p. 161]. For the reader's covenience, let me write the complete statement.
Proposition. Let $x \in X$ be a germ of a normal singularity.
(1) $x \in X$ is Kawamata Log Terminal if and only if it is a cyclic quotient of an index $1$ canonical singularity $0 \in Y$ by an action which is fixed point free in codimension $1$ (that is, $\textrm{Sing}(X)$ has codimension at least $2$).
(2) If $x \in X$ is terminal (resp. canonical) then it is a cyclic quotient of an index $1$ terminal (resp. canonical) singularity $0 \in Y$ by an action which is fixed point free in codimension $2$ (that is, $\textrm{Sing}(X)$ has codimension at least $3$).

I am trying to study the moduli of holomorphic vector bundles fast and I'm primarily interested to understand:
1) Why and were the stability is important. 2) How are the construction methods. 3) some examples. (especially the case of vector bundles on curves)
I was looking for some references but I could not find any reasonable source online. I have the base for that and I don't want some thing very long and full of details.
I just want to see all the ideas very clearly without to much details.
Please tell me if you know any lecture note or book which contains this stuff.

COPPERAS COVE (December 5, 2012)—A police K-9 unit greeted students Wednesday morning as they arrived at Copperas Cove Junior High School after a bomb threat was found Tuesday written on a wall in a restroom.
As students entered the school Wednesday, all of their belongings were checked for threatening devices in a process that was completed by around 9 a.m.
Parents and guardians will be notified through letters and phone messages and classes will continue as usual Wednesday, the school district said.
Police swarmed the school at 702 Sunny Ave. after a student discovered the threat on the restroom wall in the 200 wing of the building following dismissal of classes Tuesday.
The district didn't disclose the full content of the message, but said it indicated there would be a bomb in the school Wednesday.
Officers and a police K-9 unit searched the school until around 11:15 p.m. Tuesday, found no evidence of any threatening device and cleared the building for classes Wednesday.
Officials are asking that anyone with information about the threat contact either the school district or Copperas Cove Crime Stoppers.
The incident was the second at a junior high school in the district in a week.
On Nov. 28 school officials found a Glock .40 caliber handgun and a magazine containing 11 rounds of ammunition in the locker of an eighth grade boy at S.C. Lee Junior High School.
Copperas Cove police arrested the 13-year-old student after the gun was found in a backpack inside the boy's locker, the Copperas Cove ISD said in a press release.
Information from other students led to the search of the boy's locker, the district said.
The gun was secured, the student was isolated and police were called, the district said.
No one was hurt.

Antigua has a fascinating history, first contacted by Christopher Columbus in 1493, it then became a British colony in the late 17th century. The architecture and rough cobblestoned streets evoke memories of this past, with great historical ruins to explore. But the real attraction lies around its coastline.
Through its association with sailing and beautiful beaches, Antigua really comes into its own. The strong trade winds that brought the British colonists their fortunes now attract a different sailing crowd – the pleasure seekers. The sunken coral reefs which protected the fledgling colony now serve as a haven for snorkelling and diving enthusiasts. The unpretentious island of Antigua is also home to some real hidden gems. Visit the exquisite Georgian buildings along Nelson's Dockyard or take a picture postcard shot from the spectacular Shirley Heights. Observe the mass of yachts bobbing around English Harbour, or hire a boat to take you to the uninhabited Green Island. And make sure you try the local Butter Bread for a delicious breakfast treat.
Before the European colonisation of the Caribbean islands, Antigua was settled by the Arawak, a people indigenous to Venezuela and Columbia. After Columbus contacted the new world in 1492 and the subsequent colonisation, the island was turned into a sugar producing settlement by the British. This can be seen in Georgian architecture at Nelson's Dockyard, the Shirley Heights Fortress, and the plantations themselves, like the famous Betty's Hope. The trade winds and coral reef were ideally located to shield the British Navy, yet these characteristics make Antigua a hot spot for tourism today.
You can expect year-round sunshine on Antigua. Annual rainfall rarely tops more than 45 inches on average, making it the driest and sunniest island in the Eastern Caribbean. The Northeast trade winds are almost constant, flagging only in September, ideal for sailing for most of the year. Antigua's low humidity and high temperatures – it is very rarely below 20 Celsius at any time – provides plenty of opportunity to relax and unwind on one of the island's many beaches.
Antigua is a relatively small island, with just 15 miles of roads, so it doesn't take very long to find your way. Hiring a car is a popular activity to see the entire island. But note that you will have to pay for a permit to drive on the island, as well as the rental fee. Taxis have fixed rates for transfers to the airport and hotels. Taxi drivers are also qualified tour guides, and can be hired to show you around the island, for a small fee. Their knowledge is rich and will give the local flavour.

First, How is recovery heart rate defined and measured?
Again, this is something that is subjective and going to vary from person to person.
I generally monitor my HR a few times during the week first thing when I wake up, and occasionally when I'm just sitting around watching TV. These will give you baselines. When I finish a workout, I'll take my HR immediately, and once again in a minute or two. These are what you compare to when you are checking it.
What you are looking for is a consistent drop. If your HR stays elevated compared to your normal trend, then you may be tired, had a harder workout than usual, weather is different, you had too much caffeine that day, etc etc. HR is a metric that is highly variable depending on a lot of conditions.
For me personally, my morning resting HR is about the only one I pay attention to on a consistent basis. If it's elevated for a few days over what is normal, then I know something is off.
HR is not one of my favorite training metrics to use, as there are so many different variables that can affect it day to day, or even hour to hour.
Normal heart rate recovery is a decrease in your hr of 20-25 bpm (in 1 minute). For a fitter person it would be 30-45 bpm (in 1 minute). Abnormal heart rate recovery is usually defined as 12 or fewer bpm (in 1 minute).
For the number 12 this is the ref

For this particular size, there is approximately 850 pieces per 8 gram bag you order. This count is to be used for reference purposes as different finishes will have slightly higher or lower counts per gram.
Modern day Japanese seed beads are high in quality and cut with precision. These beads are extremely uniform in shape and color. Use seed beads in all of your designs for great color contrast and a touch of additional texture. A few particular projects these beads are used for include stitching, bead weaving, bead looming, and stringing. As a rule of thumb, the larger number that you see, the smaller the bead will be!

Sony Creative Software Helps Kick Out the Jamz!
Rick Altizer is a recording artist and producer living in Nashville, Tennessee. After years of working for labels, including KMG Christian music, Rick decided to go into business for himself and started Fuseic Music in 2003. He has since released four solo recordings, all featuring Adrian Belew on guitar, as well as the incredibly successful "Worship Jamz," the best-selling worship record in America with over 300,000 copies sold. Altizer is building on that success with "Worship Jamz 2," currently number 1 on the Christian SoundScan children's chart, and "Worship Jamz Christmas."

Rick Altizer
"For 'Worship Jamz' it was not unusual for me to have up to one hundred vocal tracks per song," says Altizer. "I ran a light pitch correction on each track. It used to take me hours to complete the processing on that. The batch converter in Sound Forge 8 changed all of that. I can now complete in minutes what used to take hours. I love it!" Altizer uses ACID Pro and Sound Forge on everything he records for Fuseic, including tracks for Johnny Cash, Russ Taff, and Steve Mason of Jars of Clay. He has twice been nominated for a Dove award by the Gospel Music Association.

Selection sort is one of the simplest sorting techniques.Sorting Techniques are mostly used in Highscore calculation program.I have made it more efficient by adding a line in standard selection sort code
Selection sort is sorting technique with a simple logic.
Consider the following example:
Problem:We have a array on 10 numbers we have to arrange them in ascending order using selection sort.Array is 4,3,6,5,8,1,9,0,2,7
Iteration 1:We select the first element 4 and swap it with the smallest element in array '0'.
Array after iteration 1:0,3,6,5,8,1,9,4,2,7
Iteration 2:Discard first element as it is sorted now select second element swap it with the first element i.e swap 3 with 1.This process continues until array is sorted.
Array after iteration 2:0,1,6,5,8,3,9,4,2,7
Array after iteration 3:0,1,2,5,8,3,9,4,6,7
Array after iteration 4:0,1,2,3,8,5,9,4,6,7
Array after iteration 5:0,1,2,3,4,5,9,8,6,7
Array after iteration 6:0,1,2,3,4,5,9,8,6,7[If the element consideres is smallest it reamins there here 5 remains at same place]
Array after iteration 7:0,1,2,3,4,5,6,8,9,7
Array after iteration 8:0,1,2,3,4,5,6,7,9,8
Array after iteration 9:0,1,2,3,4,5,6,7,8,9
Note that for selection sort there are n-1 iteration where n is the number of elements
The Line I added in the code from standard code makes it more efficient for longer arrays
The code
In This example I have used templates It sorts variables of different data types
//selection sort #include<iostream.h> #include<conio.h> template<class T> void selectsort(T a[],int size) { T temp,small; int pos,i,j,k; for(i=0;i<size;i++) { pos=i;\\I have found his all important line mssing in many standard books small=a[i]; for(j=i+1;j<size;j++) { if(a[j]<small) { small=a[j]; pos=j; } } temp=a[i]; a[i]=a[pos]; a[pos]=temp; cout<<"The array after iteration- "<<i+1<<" is "; for(k=0;k<size;k++) cout<<a[k]<<" "; cout<<"\n"; } } void main() { clrscr(); cout<<"\t SELECTION SORT PROGRAM\n"; int a[50],size,choice,i; char b[50]; float c[50]; start: cout<<"Enter size of array\n"; cin>>size; cout<<"Enter type of array\n1.Character\n2.Integer\n3.Float\n"; cin>>choice; switch(choice) { case 1: cout<<"Enter elements of character array\n"; for(i=0;i<size;i++) cin>>b[i]; selectsort(b,size); cout<<"Enter the character array is\n"; for(i=0;i<size;i++) cout<<b[i]<<" "; break; case 2: cout<<"Enter elements of integer array\n"; for(i=0;i<size;i++) cin>>a[i]; selectsort(a,size); cout<<"Enter the integer array is\n"; for(i=0;i<size;i++) cout<<a[i]<<" "; break; case 3: cout<<"Enter elements of float array\n"; for(i=0;i<size;i++) cin>>c[i]; selectsort(b,size); cout<<"Enter the character array is\n"; for(i=0;i<size;i++) cout<<b[i]<<" "; break; default: cout<<"Invalid choice\n"; goto start; } }

Here is a word that I think should be adopted by the category theorists. (If there is another synonymous word already in existence, please let me know.)
Definition: A category $C$ is saft if every cocontinuous functor $C \to D$ has a right adjoint.
The word "saft" is an abbreviation for "special adjoint functor theorem (SAFT)", of which there are many, because SAFTs always take the form "If a category $C$ is XYZ, then it is saft." For example: it suffices for a category to be some cocompletion of some small subcategory (F. Ulmer, The adjoint functor theorem and the Yoneda embedding, Illinois Journal of Mathematics, 1971 vol. 15 (3) pp. 355-361).
It is an easy exercise that a category $C$ is saft if and only if every continuous functor $C^{\rm op} \to \text{Set}$ is representable. In particular any saft category is complete, because any putative limit corresponds to a continuous functor, and hence necessarily representable.
On the other hand, I don't see any particular reason why a saft category is necessarily cocomplete, except that every example I know is, and every SAFT uses cocompleteness as one of the conditions.
Question: Is a saft category necessarily cocomplete?

The Historic Railpark Train Museum and L&N Depot got another piece of history today, just in time for Black History Month.
This Jim Crow Car has been sitting in this warehouse at Trace Die Cast under restoration for the past year and half, but it's journey to the L&N Depot began long before that.
"It ran from Glasgow to Park City for the Glasgow Railway Company starting in the early 1900s," said Friends of L&N Depot President Dick Webber.
It's one of five remaining cars of it's kind used during the Jim Crow era of segregation.
"It brings back the different chapters our country has been through in history, and changes in trying to get to where we need to be. This is an important part of showing that journey," said Historic Railpark Train Museum and L&N Depot Director Paul Crafton.
The car has come a long way after sitting on the side of the tracks for more than 50 years.
"It had been sitting since 1955 abandoned so it was vandalized. It was Robbed. It was destroyed," said Restoration Volunteer Joe Williams.
It took more than a year and a half of work to restore the car to its original condition.
"Hundreds and hundreds of hours of blood, sweat and tears, and love put into this car," said Crafton.
"It had to be rebuilt, except for the two ends, from the chassis up," said Williams.
Most of that work was done by volunteers, and today it finally made its journey down Louisville Rd. to its new home at the Historic Railpark Train Museum and L&N Depot.
The Jim Crow car is currently displayed at the front of the railpark. Tomorrow morning, it will be carefully placed onto the museum tracks where it will undergo its final interior restorations.

Over the past four to five years, a lot has been written about the shift away from big-bore 15-liter engines to medium-bore (11-liter to 13-liter) engines. This was particularly true among truckers looking to minimize fuel costs.
New data shows that many of the industry's trend-setters have discovered the truth in the old saying, "there's no replacement for displacement." They've come to understand the benefits of new technology in the big-bore engines, and have been making the switch because it saves them money. The comeback has been dramatic.

TEMPLE (October 29, 2012)--Dr. Alexzander Asea, known for his dedication to breast cancer research, is leaving Temple after living, researching and teaching in the area for the past seven years.
He is moving to Atlanta to head up Morehouse School of Medicine and expand research and testing on a drug that shows promise in the fight against breast cancer.
Cancer survivors and their loved ones gathered this week to thank Asea not only for his time and dedication to the community, but also for his perseverance in finding a cure for cancer.
"It's hard to put it into words," said Renee Owen, a cancer survivor.
"It kind of gets you choked up because he's become such a good friend to us cancer survivors."
Asea has spent the past 15 years working on a cure for breast cancer.
Seven of those years were spent in Temple researching at Scott & White and teaching at Texas A&M Health Science Center.
"He has given all of the women in this area hope knowing that there is a cure out there," Owen said.
Asea's work ethic and optimism have given Owen and several other women in the community so much hope that they started a non-profit group called "The Heart of Texas Purple Cancer Warriors."
The organization aims to help Asea raise funds for his research involving the anti-cancer drug NampEVA and to educate the public about breast cancer.
Asea said he is grateful for the group's dedication.
Their hard work and the community's support have paid off.
NampEVA passed animal testing and is now ready to be tested on humans in clinical trials as soon $5 million is raised.
"In order to get NampEVA to clinical trials, we need to get more exposure," Asea said.
This is Asea's last week in Central Texas.
"It's a loss for our community, but it's not a loss for this group," Owen said.

The SE sites specifically are about building a repository of information and not about community building or discussion. For those of us who want to build community as well as information, what are good software QA sites with a more social bent (e.g., forums and social networking style sites)?
Sign up
- Anybody can ask a question
- Anybody can answer
- The best answers are voted up and rise to the top
SQAForums is the largest, and excellent: http://www.sqaforums.com
Software Testing Club is excellent, too: http://www.softwaretestingclub.com/
You'll find me hanging out at both. (Not sure if that will scare you away or not..)
You might want to check out SQAForums. That's a pretty good community of testers there from all different skill levels as well as a few groups that are dedicated to specific tools. Another good site is Software Test Professionals in that they also sponsor conferences and other such things. Both are sites I've had much experience with and have been well satisfied with that experience.
Software Testing Club is particularly good in my opinion. Rosie Sherry, Rob Lambert and others have done an impressive job of building the community, and encouraging thoughtful conversations and polite debates on the site.
In addition, in my opinion, the overall level of conversation is significantly higher than the vast majority of other online software testing communities (I'm thinking of LinkedIn Groups in particular here).
I would describe the overall tone of the site / participants in the community as:
I'd recommend the Software Testing Club: http://www.softwaretestingclub.com/
They have active forums (actively moderated too to keep the spam/rubbish level down!), as well as publishing The Testing Planet, and sponsoring testing community activities - testing meetups, sponsoring an active member to attend a conference, etc. The management team are really committed to creating great community resources.
