After the match Dortmund–Bayern München (1:0) of yesterday, I read that this victory has marked a "Vorentscheidung" for the race to the German football championship. But what exactly is meant by "Vorentscheidung"? Do there exist different meaning variants?

LEO translate it as preliminary decision.
After the defeat of Munich there is now a 6 points difference between Dortmund and Munich and four games are left in this season. That means Dortmund needs two wins and one draw to win this season. And that's very likely. Only if Dortmund looses two of their games Munich get a chance.
So Vorentscheidung means that we believe to know the final result.
You can hear Vorentscheidung also during a game. Let's say in the 70th minute a team shoots the 2-0. Then you are pretty sure that they will win this game.
Vorentscheidung can happen anywhere. The only condition is that the final outcome isn't clear yet but it seems to be obviously who will be the winner.
In regards to your last question: yes, different meanings exist. The Duden has this to say about it:
b was already explained to you in another answer. a is different in that it actually is a definite decision (there are no more chances for a different outcome), but it is a decision which was made in preparation of another one, which will be made based on the preliminary decision (and probably others).
An example for a would be (as has been mentioned): winning a national contest to qualify for an international one.

Let $p \ne 2$ be a prime and $a$ the smallest positive integer that is a primitive root modulo $p$. Is $a$ necessarily a primitive root modulo $p^2$ (and hence modulo all powers of $p$)? I checked this for all $p < 3 \times 10^5$ and it seems to work, but I can't see any sound theoretical reason why it should be the case. What is there to stop the Teichmuller lifts of the elements of $\mathbb{F}_p^\times$ being really small?
It is not true in general. See http://primes.utm.edu/curios/page.php/40487.html for the example, 5 mod 40487^2.
The key term here is: Wieferich prime base $a$.
What you observed can be presented to children in the following form: if $p$ is a prime greater than 5 and the fraction $1/p$ has decimal period $d$, numerical tables show $1/p^2$ has decimal period $dp$, $1/p^3$ has decimal period $dp^2$, and generally the decimal period of $1/p^k$ is $dp^{k-1}$. For example, 1/13 has decimal period 6, 1/169 has decimal period $78 = 6 \cdot 13$, and 1/2197 has decimal period $1014 = 6 \cdot 13^2$.
This works for primes below 100, but if you search far enough you will find a counterexample. The first one is $p = 487$: 1/487 and $1/487^2$ both have decimal period 486. The second counterexample is $p = 56,598,313$. (!!) This list has been Sloaned: http://oeis.org/A045616.
For a general article about this business, see http://www.jstor.org/stable/3219294.
Within algebraic number theory, this phenomenon appears when you compute the ring of integers of ${\mathbf Q}(\sqrt[n]{2})$, which turns out to be ${\mathbf Z}[\sqrt[n]{2}]$ for all $n \leq 1000$. With that evidence you might guess the ring of integers is always ${\mathbf Z}[\sqrt[n]{2}]$, just like the ring of integers of ${\mathbf Q}(\zeta_n)$ is always ${\mathbf Z}[\zeta_n]$. But in fact it's not always true. There are $n > 1000$ such that ${\mathbf Z}[\sqrt[n]{2}]$ is not the full ring of integers of ${\mathbf Q}(\sqrt[n]{2})$. If you search for Wieferich primes to base 2 you will find them.
Primes $p$ for which $p^2$ divides $q^{p-1}-1$, for various small values of $q$, are often important in elementary attacks on Fermat's Last Theorem. See Lenstra and Stevenhagen's article "Class Field Theory and the First Case of Fermat's Last Theorem" in the book Modular Forms and Fermat's Last Theorem, for a quick survey. I don't see any reason, from this perspective, that $(q^{p-1}-1)/p$ should be particularly unlikely to be divisible by $p$. Nonetheless, that literature might give you some hints.
Crandall, Dilcher and Pomerance (see Section 3) present data suggesting that $(2^{p-1}-1)/p \mod p$ looks uniformly distributed in $[-p/2, p/2]$. They suggest that the rarity of primes with $p$ dividing $(2^{p-1}-1)/p$ has no deeper reason than that, if $a_p$ is a random sequence indexed by primes, one only expects $p$ to divide $a_p$ for roughly $\log \log N$ primes less than $N$, and $\log \log$ of the computable range is quite small. Replacing $2$ by the smallest primitive root mod $p$ may exhibit similar behavior.
This would probably fit in the eventual counterexamples page too.

Assistant Professor Gordana Dukovic is all for using sunlight and solar panels to produce electricity that can power homes and buildings.
But what she really wants to do is to better understand how to use sunlight to drive useful chemical reactions – essentially using solar energy to produce fuels rather than electricity. A fuel is basically a way of storing energy, she says, and the idea is to produce fuels that can be transported and used as needed, even when the sun is not shining.
"The good news is we have renewable sources of energy, and the sun in particular," said Dukovic of the Department of Chemistry and Biochemistry. "The staggering fact is the amount of solar power reaching our planet in one hour is greater than our global energy consumption in one year. The big question is how to capture and convert this essentially infinite supply of solar energy into both electricity and fuels."
Dukovic and her lab group – which includes two postdoctoral fellows and nine graduate students – are focused on fundamental problems in nanoscience, including using physical chemistry and materials chemistry to develop new materials that may be particularly efficient in harvesting sunlight.
One example is to assemble "nanoscale architectures" that could absorb sunlight and help convert it to fuel, she said. "We are interested, for example, in what happens to an individual photon that is absorbed by a particular material and how that process eventually leads to chemical bonds that would be useful for storing solar energy."
Born in Bosnia, Dukovic spent time in Croatia before moving to the United States. She received her bachelor's of science from Rutgers University, her doctorate from Columbia University is 2006 and was a postdoctoral fellow at the University of California, Berkeley before joining the CU-Boulder faculty in 2009.
Since arriving on campus, Dukovic has become a rising star. In February, she was selected to receive a prestigious Sloan Research Fellowship for $50,000 from the Alfred P. Sloan Foundation awarded to early-career scientists and scholars whose achievements and potential identify them as the next generation of scientific leaders.
In 2013 Dukovic was named a Beckman Young Investigator by the Arnold and Mabel Beckman Foundation, an award that provides up to $750,000 over four years to support Dukovic's research on new materials for solar energy harvesting. In 2013 Dukovic also was named a Cottrell Scholar by the Research Corporation for Science Advancement in Tucson for outstanding research and teaching, which carried an award of $75,000.
In 2012, Dukovic received a Faculty Early Career Development (CAREER) Award from the National Science Foundation. The award is one of the highest honors given by NSF to early-career university faculty in science and engineering, and is intended to advance the development of their research and careers. Dukovic was awarded $600,000 over five years.
"These awards may come under my name, but I could not do any of this work without my students and postdocs," she said. "They are absolutely critical to the successes in our lab. They spend countless hours getting difficult experiments working and they contribute new ideas to our research."
Dukovic has had both undergraduate students and graduate students working in her lab since arriving at CU-Boulder.
In addition, she currently is teaching a graduate-level course on the chemistry of solar energy and also teaches the undergraduate physical chemistry curriculum.
Dukovic's research also is being funded by grants from by the Air Force Office of Scientific Research, the U.S. Department of Energy Office of Science and the American Chemical Society.

I asked some time ago:
Let $w(X,Y)$ be a word in $X$ and $Y$ (i.e., an element in the free group on $X$ and $Y$). Let the variables $x$ and $y$ now range among elements of $SL_n(K)$, $K$ an algebraically closed field.
For which $w$ is it the case that, for $x$ generic, the image of the map given by
$y \rightarrow w(x,y)$
is not Zariski-dense?
It seems that the map has Zariski-dense image for most w one can try. At the same time, as I said back when I first asked the question, the image of the map $y \rightarrow w(x,y)$ is not Zariski-dense for $w(x,y) = y x y^{-1}:$ the image of the map is contained in the conjugacy class of $x$.
By the same reasoning, the image of the map $y \rightarrow w(x,y)$ is not Zariski-dense for $x$ generic when $w$ is of the form
$w(x,y) = v(x, u(x,y)^{-1} x u(x,y)),\ (*)$
where $v$ and $u$ are some words. The question can then be made precise: are all examples of this form? That is: is it the case that, for all words $w(x,y)$ not of the special form $(*)$, the image of the map $y\rightarrow w(x,y)$ is Zariski-dense for $x$ generic?
I would be extremely interested in the correct answer, even in the case $n=3$. I suspect that the answer is "yes", at least for $n=2$. At the same time, it would be rather nice if it were "no".
[The most obvious approach may be to take derivatives at the origin. However, while this often proves that a map is surjective, it does not prove that a map is not surjective - and in this problem it leaves too many candidates of possible words w for which the map $y\rightarrow w(x,y)$ might not be surjective but probably really is.
For those who have asked about the characteristic: if the characteristic is finite, you can assume it's much greater than the sum of the absolute values of the exponents of the word we are considering. In other words, let us not consider things like $y\rightarrow y^p, p = char(K)$.

On Saturday, October 9, 6000 cyclists will converge on Santa Rosa, California. This year is the second edition of Levi Leipheimer's King Ridge GranFondo and, for one day, cyclists from all over will have the opportunity to ride rural Sonoma County roads with professional cyclist Levi Leipheimer.
In preparation for the ride I fired off a few questions to Greg Fisher, the press guy for the GranFondo and editor of Bike Monkey Magazine. Greg also tweets as @levisgranfondo (at least sometimes) and may spend his leisure time using spray-on-tan to cover up his jersey tan.
TT: How did you first get involved with Levi's Gran Fondo?
GF: I got sucked into Bike Monkey magazine after their first issue came out as "an editor," which quickly became "the editor." As things continued to swirl for Bike Monkey, I was able to continue to contribute and, with the success of the 2009 GranFondo, was able to come aboard full-time, leaving behind a 10 year career in salmonid fisheries restoration.
TT: What was the biggest challenge for the team last year?
GF: Where to start? Levi approached us with this thing not quite 6 months before the event day last year. It was a massive undertaking and we were making it up as we went along. We knew how to put on an event for a couple of hundred people and we just scaled it out, which I think ended up giving the ride such a good feel. Even though there were 3500 people out there in 2009, everyone felt like they were attended to as if they were on a small, high-end ride. I hope that we're always able to make people feel like they're just out on a ride with Levi and a bunch of friends that just so happens to have first class treatment for everyone. Even if that bunch of friends is 6000 people from all over the world.
TT: Last year, the event almost felt like it was a last minute thing – I'm not talking about the day of the event, it was the best supported ride I've ever been on, but the ramp-up (that's corporate lingo) time seemed short. Do you feel like you're everybody's more prepared this time around?
GF: Yeah, see above for that. It was certainly down to the wire, but this time around, there's no shortage of sweat and late nights. We're doing so much more with the event this year, from the sheer scale of hosting 6000 people, to quintupling the size our auction fundraiser, from creating a program for individuals to fundraise, to adding a whole new host of community beneficiaries to the ride, including the creation of a competitive grant program for new cycling initiatives. The FondoSonoma Festival has grown and is even more friendly to cyclists and non-riders and their families. We even created an entirely separate social event in Santa Rosa, RadioShack Downtown, for all 6000 people on the night before the ride.
So yeah, we're more prepared, but we've taken on so much more to build the event into a comprehensive experience for everyone, that it's still a mountain of work.
TT: This year there's going to be more riders, obviously this is a good thing for the event, but what are you doing to ensure everything goes as well as it did last year? Or, what, if anything, is going to be different because of the larger size?
GF: Well, safety is always the most important consideration any bike event. After 2009, we worked closely with the California Highway Patrol, emergency responders, volunteer fire departments, local government, and our on-course personnel to assess to what level we could grow the event in 2010. We arrived at the 6000 number after a lot of deliberation and planning with a lot of important partners. So, we've done a lot to make sure things go as well as they did last year. If we do it right, the only thing different in the feel of the event and the execution of the ride from last year to this year will be that there's simply more people partaking in the fun this time around.
TT: I'll be posting this on a cycling blog, so, what kind of bike(s) do you ride?
GF: The big three are my '96 Salsa A La Carte MTB hardtail, my go anywhere, do anything, '98 Bruce Gordon "bad judgement" cross/touring rig, and my '96 Ibis, which was built off production by one of their welders back in the day. All Sonoma County steel and boy oh boy do I catch shit for riding a bunch of bikes from the last millennium.
TT: You just announced next year's GranFondo will be on 10/1, a return to the first weekend in October, why did you guys go with the holiday weekend this year?
GF: We had to work with Levi's schedule, of course, but there always seems to be a bit of weather in mid-October before the real rain comes on in December. The further away we are from that, the happier we are. On a weekend in California, you're always up against some other big event, and most people are turning down one thing to do something else from May to early October. As a transplant to the Cal Republic, It's a nice problem to have, really.

Bill Thomas cut through the tape on the box labeled Man of Steel, pulled out one of seven reels of film and set it on the platter system next to the drive-in's 35-millimeter projector.
Bill Thomas demonstrates how he prepares the movies to be shown at Red's Drive-In Theatre using equipment in place since 1987. Del Norte Triplicate/Bryant Anderson
Reels from other movies shown at Red's Crescent Drive-In crowd the shelves of the theater's projector room along with smaller trailer reels. A handful of old metal speakers hang on the wall even though the single-screen theater doesn't use them anymore.
"The old man showed me how to run the projector at 15," Thomas said on Tuesday, referring to his father Leon, or "Red," who died in 2004. "We used to splice (the film) with glue."
Last year, Bill and Bert Thomas decided to close the drive-in earlier than normal due to poor ticket sales. The brothers then began proceedings for selling the theater, consulting a real estate agent and posting a for-sale sign. So far, nothing has panned out, Bert Thomas said.
This year business has picked up. Even though the brothers dropped the admission price by $2, the theater is making more money, Thomas said. But Hollywood's intention to distribute movies in a digital-only format by the end of the year may drive Red's out of business for good, he said.
There's still a for-sale sign posted despite the upswing in business, Thomas said.
"Even if we do sell it (the owner) will still have to convert it to digital," Thomas said. "We had priced it at $399,000 and dropped it down by $70,000. We estimate that's what a new system will cost."
But a promotion from Honda, with the community's support, may make it easier for the Thomas family to hold on to Red's. The car company's new contest, Project Drive-In, will award five drive-in theaters digital movie projectors. Winners will be decided by the number of votes a theater receives.
If enough people vote, Red's could be one of those five, Bert Thomas said. Red's was the only drive-in theater in California participating as of Friday, according to pro
"We're not going to win if we don't try," he said.
The conversion to digital is cost-prohibitive for many drive-in theaters, most of which are family-owned, said Honda spokeswoman Jessica Fini. In addition to saving five theaters the cost of purchasing a digital projector, Honda also hopes to bring awareness to their struggle, she said.
Roughly 60 drive-ins nationwide are currently participating in the promotion, Fini said. People have until Sept. 9 to vote, she said. The winners will be announced at the end of September.
"There's a lot of good nostalgic memories surrounding drive-ins," Fini said. "It was a natural fit for us to support that movement."
Even though people have a month to vote, the Project Drive-In campaign will continue beyond the Sept. 9 deadline, Fini said. Folks will have an opportunity to contribute to the cause as well as participate in a fundraising auction online for tickets to see "Cloudy with a Chance of Meatballs 2," she said.
Theaters will also be able to continue using the campaign's promotional materials after the voting is over, Fini said.
"We'll continue efforts on our own Facebook page," she said.
In addition to paying for the digital projector, the format conversion may also require Red's to upgrade its sound system, Thomas said. One drive-in had to raise $90,000 to weather the digital conversion, he said.
Thomas estimated that the reason for the digital conversion is the film industry's attempt to reduce shipping costs. Fox has already started to distribute its movie trailers digitally, he said. And even though a few people have asked the drive-in to play older movies, they're often harder to get and more expensive than their newer counterparts, Thomas said.
"The only way to keep running is to get a digital system," he said.
The Thomas family has been in the drive-in business for more than five decades. They acquired the Terrace Drive-In near Brookings in 1959 and re-named it Red's Drive-In. The family expanded in 1980, buying Ocean Drive-In on Elk Valley Cross Road and turning it into Red's Crescent Drive-In.
A year after the Thomases expanded, a winter storm blew down the screens at both drive-ins, leading Leon Thomas to close the Brookings theater. The family also owned Red's Showcase Twin Cinemas in Crescent City for about 20 years before it closed in 2007.
If Red's is able to make the conversion to digital, in addition to the projector and sound system the theater may have to update its ventilation system and install high-speed internet in the projection room, Bill Thomas said.
"Anybody who knows more about computers probably knows more (about digital) than I do," he said, adding that he still rewinds the film reels by hand. "It's like the Flintstones turning into the Jetsons."

These sentiments are reflected in the responses to BioPharm International's fifth annual salary survey, which shows that biopharmaceutical professionals are working harder than they did last year with fewer resources, which has resulted in increased workload and higher stress levels.
A California-based CMC professional says that M&As accentuate the reduced activity of research. "Lack of products reduces revenues and sales, and therefore, investment in R&D and that leads to reduction in resources," he says. He adds that the number of people per project has decreased in his company, there are hiring controls, and the company is replacing personnel selectively.
There are fewer people to work on projects, agrees the biopharmaceutical professional from Boston. "Our revenue was lower than expected this year, therefore the company would not have hired enough people dedicated to certain projects." His company recently eliminated a couple layers of management, so there are now fewer people to manage more people. He has seen a similar trend in other companies. "Companies are trying to get rid of redundancies so managerial levels are being skipped. For example, earlier, a senior manager had 2–3 reports but now those middle managers have been removed, and the same person now has 7–8 reports," he adds.
Similarly, a QA professional at a big pharma company in New Jersey says that there has been an internal reorganization at her company. "Our San Diego facility has been closed, and we are in the process of consolidating a few others," she says. Her company also has cut a number of its internal programs.
"We have to do everything extremely lean—not only lean manufacturing but also lean development," says the biopharmaceutical professional from Boston. "Last year, we looked at how to work smarter and leverage new technology to do the same or more work with less people." This lean approach has become a new baseline because there are now additional cost pressures that lead to downsizing, he adds.

Keith Reese is the head golf professional at Valhalla Golf Club. The club is set to reopen for play next month. It shut down in September of 2011, and under the supervision of designer Jack Nicklaus, has undergone a major renovation. Having already hosted 2 P.G.A Championships, 2 Senior P.G.A Championships and the 2008 Ryder Cup, the next major on the horizon is another P.G.A. Championship in August of 2014.
Kent Taylor.: Take me through where you are now in the process?
Keith Reese: Basically all the planting has been done. The greens were seeded, the back nine was seeded at the end of November, the front nine was seeded in mid-March, but it's amazing, with the weather we've had, how they've caught up with each other. Our plan right now is we're just putting some finish work on the golf course for the next month and then we're going to open for play on September the first."
K.T.: When I tell you that you're 24 months away from hosting the P.G.A. Championship, what goes through your mind when you hear that?
K.R.: For me, it's happened so many times now that it's not that big of a deal. We know kind of what we want to do, we know when things are going to gear up and get going.
For our superintendent, Roger Meier, it's going to be a totally different deal. He's been through the Senior P.G.A., and he had some tournament experience before, but this is a big one and that's what all of this work has been for. A lot of it has been, you know, we want to get the golf course in the best shape we can, day in and day out for the membership, but also it's going to help with our tournament and assuring that we're in the proper condition come August of '14.
K.T.: Are there major changes that the average fan will notice?
K.R.: A lot of it, if you're not really familiar with it, you look at it and go, oh that looks kind of the same, but I think once you get on a green, say our 10th green, it'll look the same from a distance, but when you get on it and start putting, you'll notice that the contours are a lot different. Hole 15 is a lot different, and No. 2 and No. 3 are markedly different.
K.T.: What's different about No. 2?
K.R.: The green has been shifted a little bit to the left, about two or three paces to the left. The bunker that was there on the right has been moved actually towards the back and there is more of a collection area around to the right. Much more open area around to the right. That's what they'll notice the most. The look of the green, the green complex, the mounding has changed a great deal.
K.T.: How about hole No. 3?
K.R.: No. 3, same thing, the mounding around the green, the bunker that was to the left, we had a really big bunker with two big grass mounds in it. That bunker has been reduced down to where it's about maybe a third of the size of what it was before. It's a greenside bunker for the left, and that area where the bunker was is now a closely mowed collection area. The bunker to the right was expanded a great deal around to the front of the green.
K.T.: What were the changes to hole No. 15?
K.R.: The green is a lot shorter in depth than it used to be, about four paces. Mr. Nicklaus added a bunker on the front right of that green. We actually took the layer of rock down two layers, and he put a little bunker in there and shortened the bunker to the left.
K.T.: How many times has Jack Nicklaus been back here during this process?
K.R.: I think he was in four times from the span of September, through, I think his last visit was probably in March.
K.T.: Were the main issues irrigation and drainage issues?
K.R.: That was one of the biggest projects we had. The irrigation system we had was 26 years old and it was the original system. Just like anything, like modern day computers, irrigation systems have changed so much. Now we have the ability to control one single irrigation head if we want. We'll be able to water the golf course more efficiently, more effectively, to help a number of things, the playability as well as controlling disease.
K.T.: The fairway on No. 1 has traditionally had a lot of standing water during big rains, how was that issue remedied?
K.R.: One of the companies that did a lot of work for Mr. Nicklaus at Muirfield in Dublin, Ohio, came in and laid out an actual plan for the whole golf course, and in the first stage here, we're taking the holes that needed it the most and we're putting some of this drainage in and it's basically catching water before it hits the fairway, taking water out as it's on the fairway and moving it off more quickly. We should see a big difference there as well.
K.T.: Who plays the first round on Sept. 1; will it be the Gahm family?
K.R.: I'm sure the Gahm family will be out, whether Dwight will come out and hit some shots, I don't know, I hope so. We are terribly excited to have golfers again, it will be great. It has been a different kind of busy for us, but we are so excited to get back to playing golf and the golf course is just going to be fantastic.

I'm not sure if 'starter pin' is the correct terminology. When you buy a new chain, that doesn't have a master link, you get a longer pin that allows you to put the chain together. Then you simply take a pair of pliers and snap the extra piece of pin off. Is there anyway to just buy the pins without buying a new chain?

Yes. Any local bike shop should have them in stock, and they should cost no more than 5 dollars. You need to know the brand and type of your chain. (i.e. Shimano 10 speed or Campag 11 speed) If you know the model (i.e. Ultegra or Dura Ace Shimano, that is a bonus.
By the way, Shimano refers to it only as a reinforced connecting pin, or replacement connecting pin.

Go Figure: Dr. Oz's Sky-High Ratings Don't Always Mean Good Medicine
The good doctor wasn't in Kansas any more as he was taken to task over promoting several suspicious weight loss products
Oz, the head of the cardiovascular institute at New York Presbyterian Hospital, was on the Hill to respond to accusations that he deliberately misleads the American viewing public by shilling for rather dubious weight-loss products and ingredients on his nationally syndicated television program.
The Federal Trade Commission is trying their darndest to crack down on bogus weight loss claims made by any and everyone because, they say, consumers spent $2.4 billion on weight loss services and products last year.
As his defense, Oprah's affable pal tried to explain it all away, saying, "My job, I feel, on the show is to be a cheerleader for the audience when they don't think they have hope and they don't think they can make it happen. It jump-starts you. It gives you the confidence to keep going."
Guess what? Those stiff old suits weren't buying it. "The scientific community is almost monolithic against you in terms of the efficacy of the three products you call miracles," Claire McCaskill, Democratic Senator of Missouri and the chairwoman of the Commerce subcommittee on consumer protection, told Oz.
"When you call a product a miracle, and it's something you can buy and it's something that gives people false hope, I just don't understand why you need to go there," she said.
READ: 11 Ways to Lose a Few Pounds Without Really Trying
McCaskill's committee has a bee in its bonnet over Oz's support of "Super Green Coffee Beans" and, as CNN reports, there's more. "In addition to green coffee beans, McCaskill called out Garcinia cambogia as another weight loss product Oz has promoted. 'Thanks to brand new scientific research, I can tell you about a revolutionary fat buster,' Oz said on his show in November 2012 with the words 'No Exercise. No Diet. No Effort' on the screen behind him. 'It's called Garcinia cambogia.'"
Those types of claims, that "flowery language" as Oz himself calls it, are what have landed the good doctor in some steamy waters -- not that he thinks he's done anything wrong.
"To not have the conversation about supplements at all however would be a disservice to the viewer," Oz said in a prepared statement following the hearing. "In addition to exercising an abundance of caution in discussing promising research and products in the future, I look forward to working with all those present today in finding a way to deal with the problems of weight loss scams."

The 5 Most Baffling Pieces of Christmas Themed Fan Fiction
Christmas is a time for family, goodwill toward your fellow man, and stories about Santa sodomizing Scooby-Doo. What, that last one's not a tradition for you? You must not be a fan fiction writer.
As we've told you twice before, fan-fic writers don't let little things like "sanity" get in the way of their favorite characters meeting and then immediately boning. And unlike the rest of us, they don't take a Christmas vacation. So without further ado, let's see the genital-shriveling ways they celebrate the holidays.
#5. Twilight's Edward Is Santa Claus, Ruins Christmas
Sexy Santa is a Twilight fan fiction story that replaces all that vampire crap from the popular novels and movies with Santa-on-Santa sex. We'll let you decide if this is an improvement or not.
The story begins with series protagonist Bella Swan prancing around her house in some sexy Christmas-themed lingerie that her friend forced her to try on, when her sparkly vampire boyfriend Edward Cullen emerges from her chimney. Except that in this world, Edward isn't a vampire and they've never met before. Also he's Santa:
"Tisk, tisk, tisk. And if you are so curious my name is Edward Cullen, also known as Santa Claus all over the world."
How have we never noticed the obvious resemblance?
Edward explains to the shocked Bella that he is literally St. Nicholas, but he didn't exactly come here to deliver any presents. Let's just say Bella's chimney isn't the only thing he'll be forcibly inserting himself into tonight.
Where It Gets Really Creepy:
It's not long before Edward Claus strips off his Santa suit and puts the "non-consensual" in "non-consensual sex":
The man smirked and stepped forward making Bella take a cautious step backwards. He took another step forward and she took one backwards. It was a game of predator and prey and it ended when Bella hit her couch and fell back into the comfortable pillows, Edward quickly climbing on top of her, trapping her to her couch.
"Y-you kn-know t-this can be illegal." Bella weakly said.
Pictured: Her scared face.
Bella, naturally, is turned on by the strange man in a Santa suit who invaded her home and pinned her to a couch, and they end up having sex. However, it turns out that their night of passion distracted Edward from his other obligations, and as a result the world has lived its worst Christmas since ever. Bella turns on the TV the next morning and sees a downcast newscaster deliver the following news:
"Today was a tragedy for most kids, and some adults around the whole word. More than half of the kids didn't receive their presents from Santa." The woman paused and looked into the camera with a sad expression.
"Those who were visited report crusty stockings curiously devoid of candy."
And then, in a shocking plot twist, it's revealed that the whole thing was actually a setup: Bella's friend thought she needed to get laid, so she got her brother Edward to dress up as Santa and seduce her. They also bought television airtime and had their friends make a fake news report that happened to air at the exact moment Bella turned on her television, because that was simpler than just introducing the two.
#4. Transvestite Santa's Murder Mystery (Featuring Every Show Ever)
Most fan fiction crossovers (where characters from one series meet and inevitably fuck characters from another) involve two, maybe three different franchises. Go beyond that, and you'll have more characters to keep track of than in Game of Thrones, and about as many awkward sex scenes.
But the author of Who Killed Santa? threw caution to the wind, along with their mental health and probably their underwear. This story unites the female characters from Law & Order, Law & Order: SVU, Law & Order: Trial by Jury, CSI, CSI: New York, Charlie's Angels, The Division, Cagney & Lacey, Murder, She Wrote, Nancy Drew, Cold Case, D.E.B.S., Crossing Jordan, The X-Files, and Scooby-Doo, Where Are You? That's 15 shows. Did anyone even watch D.E.B.S.?
Honestly, there was enough sexual tension between those last two shows; why ruin it by adding more people?
In the story, our many, many heroines visit the National Women in Law Enforcement Conference to get their crime education, and also their dildos, on. Things take a turn for the weird when they come across Santa's corpse:
Santa was slumped down in his chair, arms hanging limply at his sides, white gloves dragging the floor. His eyes were closed, his head lolled to one side. He looked as if he was sleeping or passed out -- except for the trail of white foam coming from his mouth.
"Looks like someone made ... the naughty list." -someone from the CSI shows, probably
This is just a mall Santa, but still, a crime is a crime. Everyone investigates while swapping painfully awkward banter. Here's a character from Law & Order: SVU hitting on one of Charlie's Angels (who must be in her 60s by now):
She flashed a mischievous smile. "I believe elves only come out at Christmas, detective. But, fairies are known to be out all year long." She batted her eyes, exaggerated her southern drawl even more. "Why, I'd dare say I would know a fairy when I see one."
Detective Benson's eyebrow arched. With a slight smile, she tilted her head at Kelly. "I take it you like fairies, Ms. Garrett?"
"And I hope you like nauseous, unrelenting nightmares, readers."
Where It Gets Really Creepy:
Soon they realize that Santa Claus was packing some serious heat. Instead of a penis, that is:
Turns out Santa isn't a Mr. Claus at all. He's a Mrs. Claus. When they stripped the red suit off, they discovered Santa had a 12-inch purple strap-on hidden beneath the pillows that made his belly shake like a bowl full of jelly.
The detectives determine that Santa wasn't murdered -- she choked to death on a nut. (Literally -- that's not a euphemism.) Everyone celebrates, and two Law & Order ladies start cross-examining each other's privates. Because how else should you react when you discover a transvestite dildo-sporting Santa tragically asphyxiated in your hotel?
"Weigh the corpse down with fruitcake and we'll drop it in the lake."
#3. The Grinch Who Stole a Who's Virginity
Yes, someone saw The Grinch Who Stole Christmas and thought, "This needs more fucking." It shouldn't surprise us, really, since technically the Grinch counts as a furry.
Dearly Beloved is set during the Grinch's teenage years, because an erotic tale starring a severely deformed adult covered in green hair somehow wasn't disturbing enough. It's been nine years since the Grinch left Whoville, and his childhood sweetheart, Martha May Whovier (a character from the Jim Carrey movie), misses him and decides to pay him a visit on Christmas Eve.
Further proof that no good came from making this.
At first, the Grinch is less than thrilled to see her, as you can tell from his very un-Seussian language:
"Oh, Martha May, don't give me that inbreed Whoville bullshit." He turned back to her in a mocking voice. "No one should be alone on Christmas yada yada. I've been alone on Christmas for nine years, why is this one special."
But then Martha May reveals that "No one should be alone on Christmas" is code for "I'm here to jump your bones," and you can almost hear the hoo-hoovers and jing-tinglers start up a porno groove.
"My lifetime of avoiding pants is about to pay off!"
"There's one other present I want to give you." His eyes went to the bow on her throat. "Open it."
Where It Gets Really Creepy:
The Grinch completes their little gift exchange with a green, furry fingerbang:
He increased the speed of his hand, which increased the moans coming from her and decreasing the strength of her legs at the moment. She looked up at him, eyes pleading, "Grinch -- ah!"
"... and that's where this has been."
Martha then returns the favor by giving the Grinch a handjob, so hopefully they had some carpet cleaning product at hand to wash out the resulting mess from his body before it hardened. Speaking of which, the Grinch is back in top shape in a matter of seconds, and what follows is a detailed description of him and Martha bumping uglies for the first time.
"No, no, no," He whispered into her ear, softly kissing her face in an attempt to lessen the pain. "You silly girl, your suppose to go slow, not impale yourself. Didn't your mother ever tell you that?"
Apparently, his heart wasn't the only thing that grew three sizes.
It turns out that, despite being a virgin, the Grinch knows a lot about sex from reading the crumpled, sticky porno mags discarded by the citizens of Whoville. Finally he gets Martha to climax while looking at his face ... somehow:
Her back arched, her head tipped back and her eyes closed, mewing noises coming from her mouth. "Look at me." His voice came out in a harsh pant, she could barely manage to open them from the pleasure. "Oh!"
Above: The Grinch's O-face. Which is really more of a V-face.

Or at least in most distributions...
In theory, the only packages that are guaranteed to be present are the ones which are part of the latex distribution itself, and the ones in /macros/latex/required. To quote:
You get amslatex, babel, slovak, cyrillic, grfguide, graphics, graphicx, trig, keyval, epsfig, color, psnfss, afterpage, array, bm, calc, dcolumn, delarray, enumerate, fileerr, fontsmpl, ftnright, hhline, indentfirst, layout, longtable, multicol, rawfonts, showkeys, somedefs, tabularx, theorem, trace, varioref, verbatim, xr, xspace.
In practice, if it's on CTAN, it's probably in your distribution.
The two main TeX distributions are TeX Live and MiKTeX. Of the two, TeX Live defaults to installing 'everything' while MiKTeX starts with a small, basic set of packages. So the 'core' you can assume is likely to be available is defined more or less by what MiKTeX installs as 'basic' packages. Of course, if you mean Linux distros then life is very different.
Modern distributions are extremely large (often several gigabytes), and while most of the space is taken by fonts, these distributions also include a wealth of packages.
In fact, most packages that are distributed via the CTAN directory are included in all modern distributions – at the moment, that's 2300 packages in
Notice that not all of them are installed by default, depending on your distribution. For example, MikTeX prefers to install packages on demand, i.e. as soon as they get used. TeX Live, on the other hand, installs most of them (all of them?) by default.
There's also a slight lag between the time that packages are released on CTAN and the time they are included into the various distributions, so not all packages on CTAN are part of all distributions yet.
There is, I am afraid, nothing like Python's standard library, which comes with a long list of uniformly documented modules.
Add to that that there's plain TeX, LaTeX and ConTeXt, the whole situation is quite sorry indeed.
Good question, and perhaps in a couple of years they'll be a more encouraging answer.

Custom Ford F-1 Pickup Truck - Classic CruisersWritten on September 1, 2009
Well, George, how's this for recognition? His letter says it all: "My name is George Fraher, I live in East Granby, Connecticut. I am a 62-year-old gearhead who also likes to ride. I started this project as a rolling chassis three years ago. I've been on a tight budget so I've had to do all the work myself. It was a frame-off restoration. I plan to change the frontend somewhere down the road. The engine is a Ford 400M that was rebuilt with aCranecam, roller rockers, aluminum intake, and a 670cfm Holley. It has a rebuilt C-6 and a 4.11:1 rearend.I painted it myself and it didn't come out bad for my first paintjob.
I put a new oak floor in the back with polished stainless strips. The wheels and tires in the picture have just been changed to Weld wheels: 15x8 in the front and 15x10 in the back. It seems to get a lot of attention wherever I go and the Flowmaster 40s sound good. The truck only has 71,000 original miles. Whoever took the stock drivetrain was not interested in the truck so I was able to get a bargain. It didn't have much rot, so the bodywork was easy. It has been nice to finally get good recognition after working so hard to get it in this condition."
If you have a Classic Cruiser and want to see it here, email at least six high-resolution photos and background info to the email address above, or mail prints to: Classic Trucks, Attn: Grant Peterson, 774 S. Placentia Ave., Placentia, CA 92870.

I have a questions. I need to know how to create and submit multiple sitemaps into categories? This is for a big online auction site with a lot of products that needs to be indexed.
You do this this same as with a standard sitemap. Simple create the multiple sitemaps for the different areas and then you can submit them to Google. Even better would be to then collate them into another sitemap file which details the other sitemaps available. This is all well documented by Google here:

Following last year's successful events in New York and Los Angeles, NYU's Orphan Film Project will expand into the heartland with the first "Orphans Midwest" edition of the symposia series at Indiana University Bloomington, tomorrow, September 26 through 28. More than sixty speakers, including 14 NYU Cinema Studies alumni and faculty, will address the theme "Materiality and the Moving Image."
Founded by NYU Associate Professor of Cinema Studies Dan Streible, the Orphan Film Symposium draws scholars and archivists from around the world to screen, analyze, and discuss old, rare, almost lost, and nearly forgotten films and videos.
"Often one-of-a-kind creations, orphan films capture glimpses of our shared world that, without preservation, could be lost forever," said Streible. "The Orphan Film Symposium reaches beyond the academy by working with commercial labs as well as museums, archives, libraries, and individual artists and collectors to generate the preservation of orphaned film and video material. The symposium also gives recently preserved and newly rediscovered films a public showcase that leads to further visibility."
The term "orphan films" refers to many forms of neglected cinematic artifacts, rarities, and rediscoveries, including unreleased films, educational movies, censored material, medical films, surveillance footage, student works, among a host of other categories.
Orphans Midwest opens on Thursday evening, September 26, with the premiere of Bill Morrison's All Vows, with a score performed live by virtuoso cellist Maya Beiser. Commissioned by Indiana University Cinema and the IU Jewish Studies Program, this performance will be enhanced by Beiser performing with three other Morrison films, including Cello Counterpoint, with music Steve Reich wrote expressly for her.
Other symposium highlights include: the premiere of a never-released 1925 short about the U.S. 10th Cavalry's buffalo soldiers, a keynote address by renowned cinema historian Tom Gunning (NYU Cinema Studies alum), a new documentary by Jane Gillooly (Suitcase of Love and Shame) using a mysterious cache of found audiotapes, a talk by NYU Tisch arts professor Mona Jimenez on the first video synthesizers, and dozens of orphan film screenings.
The symposium is presented by IU Libraries Film Archive, Indiana University Cinema, and NYU Cinema Studies/Tisch School of the Arts, with additional support from the IU New Frontiers in the Arts and Humanities Program and the College of Arts and Humanities Institute.
Preserving and studying orphan films is a key component of the Moving Image Archiving and Preservation Program (MIAP) in the Department of Cinema Studies at NYU's Tisch School of the Arts. Founded in 2003, the MIAP Program is one of only three graduate programs in the United States devoted to training the next generation of audiovisual archivists.
Presentations at this year's symposium focus on the technical challenges posed by the materials themselves: celluloid film, various types of videotapes, and the proliferation of digital file formats. Materiality and the Moving Images on September 26 and runs through September 28, 2013. The full schedule is available online. The symposium is taking place at the IU Cinema, a 260-seat, THX certified theater dedicated to the scholarly study. For more information contact the director: email@example.com.

Dear Editor, Public school districts are not poor entities. They all receive millions of dollars. All that is asked is that they manage their money properly....
A nice start would be to get rid of the BOZO supt. thats running that place into the ground. Let him go back to being a lousy substitute teacher!

I do not believe that anyone without a degree in Education should be sitting on the board making decisions that affect our children's education. Every employee from teachers, cooks, bus drivers, custodians to administration try to do the best they can for our children and our district. After all the years on the board Mr. Zelek, if you can't be part of the solution....step down and stop being part of the problem.

Isn't this an odd letter coming from someone who currently sits on the same Board that he criticizes? Isn't this same man that has been reprimanded by State and Local officials for his actions on the Board? Isn't this same man who wants to sit on a Board but refuses to send his grand kids to the same District? Isn"t this the man who recieves the maximum amont possible as compensation for "serving" as Board member but refuses to lower his compensation but asks teachers to take a paycut? Those who live in glass houses shouldn't through stones Mr. Zelek!

A Warren County family is burned out of its home.
The call came in around 8:00 Thursday night for a fire at 125 Cedar Hill Road, just off Cumberland Trace.
Firefighters say smoke was billowing from the house when they arrived.
A preliminary investigation shows the blaze started in the front bedroom and was contained to that room.
Alvaton, Gott, Plano, and Smiths Grove volunteers responded.
There were no injuries, and the family plans to stay with relatives for the night.

I got a new computer last week (with motherboard GA-B75M-D3V). On it's motherboard, there is a USB 3.0 port. I tried to use it for transfer a big data to my harddisk by Ubuntu 12.04. But the speed isn't as speed as i use on my laptop (reach 92.2 MBps on my laptop, but on my new computer it is only 21.2 MBps - like ordinary usb transfer). I tried to look on additional driver, but only graphic driver shown there.
Is Ubuntu 12.04 support USB 3.0 natively? If not, Is there any driver for USB 3.0 on my motherboard?

GB went 3-1 in the games he missed last year. Hopefully they can do the same this year if it comes to that.Hide replies
They also went 1-3 in the 2010 season when he was out with a hamstring.
this year's team is more similar to last year's team than the 2010 team is it not Colo?
Loaing Matthews for even a month is big trouble for the Pack. Not to mention Brad Jones is in pain and hobbling. The idea that lattimore can fill this void is laughable. Ted needs to find some veterans somewhere. The linebacking core will be exploited with the short pass game as Hawk already has trouble covering guysHide replies
Just got off the phone with Ted. He's shaking the free agent stud linebacker tree as we speak....;-)
If the tree doesn't work out, tell him to try Craig's list or facebook. There have to be some top notch linebackers looking for a job out there somewhere.
I recall the Giants began their comeback in their last Super Bowl season with an interception off Aaron Rodgers by a guy who was sitting on his couch the week before.
@ Ravens
@ Vikings
Without a Packer pass rush, I can see the Ravens winning a shootout.
I can see Greg Jennings having a big day.
I can see Brandon Marshall having a big day.Hide replies
Brandon Marshall and Greg Jennings are not enough of difference makers to either ballclub. It still comes down to QB execution. Actually of all of these 4, the Browns might be the scariest with their defense. Packers go 2-2 at least, maybe 3-1.
If the Vikings are smart they will stay with Cassell and that will be an upgrade. Not a great QB by any means but a legit game manager and a much better arm than Ponder. As a result Jennings stock also goes up.
I'm seeing 1-3.
Agreed about Brandon Marshall not being enough. BUT Marshall and Alshon Jeffrey? Maybe. That being said the Bears defense is not what it used to be. Still opportunistic, but they really struggle to stop anyone, and the D-line gets zero pressure on QBs. If it is a shootout, I am not sure I would like my team's chances.
Forte and Peterson are pretty good running backs. Lets see how they do this weekend against Flacco, Ray Rice and Torey Smith .
1-3 next four games....Hide replies
3-1 ....they aren't losing at home to the Bears or Browns, and the queens have 3 back-up QB's....this week will be a challenge, but they can still win....
QUARTERBACK Brett "The G.O.A.T." Favre broke his thump in his THROWING hand - Did not miss a single game.
OLB La Tonya Claya (French for "Fragile as clay") breaks his thump. La Tonya Claya gives this post a thump down and goes on the Disabled List for 4-6 weeks.
Whatever happened to G.O.A.T-toughness????Hide replies
You posted this yesterday. You bragged about how you played high school football on two pulled hamstrings. We still don't believe you.
The modern public educational system does not teach spellings anymore.
The innovations of mankind, especially by computer geeks, have made learning to spell unnecessary and inefficient.
I typed "Thump" in this blog using a computer and did not see a red line beneath the word. Therefore, I assumed it is a correct spelling.
To quote the Moldy Peaches:
Up, up, down, down, left, right, left, right, B A start
Just because we use cheats doesn't mean we're not smart
You typed something on this blog using a computer? Why have I been sending messenger pigeons to JSO this whole time?
erin4mvp: I shut down Darren Charles. Deal with it.
Shut down Darren Charles? I think he was the clarinet player in the band that you ran into bringing the gatorade onto the field.
Agree 100%. 4's probably laughing on his tractor as I type this at Clay
erin4mvp: Based on your avatar, I assume you were using telegraphy instead. :)
Is he laughing with or with out Crocs on?
Prove it tankduke.
Spelling is not required at many, many low-paying jobs and probably doesn't come up at all during a fast food restaurant interview.
But if you want to make more than $50,000 a year - and keep pace with the rest of the world - you really need to know how to spell.
wel sed peeman.
Remember when folks hated on Mike Nesl because he was hurt all the timeHide replies
They hated the great Justin Harrell even more.
Capers is optimistic that Harrell's best football is still ahead of him.
so matthews is out 4 weeks and JS hasnt reported it yet!?!?Hide replies
Who's reporting this?
I sure hope pretty boy can still eat soup and get to the beauty shop,,,this is why he wears 52 and not 66....he is lucky Vince ain't the coach anymoreHide replies
66 is a retired number. He can't wear it.
Nor would he ever be allowed to...CMIII as good as he is couldn't carry Ray's jock.
good post arm dog
Coaches and doctors make decisions whether or not players play. If he wanted to play he still wouldn't be able to because the doctors have determined that further damage could be done if he plays.
I like how everyone on here thinks that players make the decision if they play or not.
Maybe La Tonya (or is it Toya?) Claya could wear soixante-neuf.
LOLAMOJ! (laughing out loud at my own joke!)
Tanduke is the only one laughing at his "joke."
aaron4mvp...no kidding...66 is retired?? get a grip
It's an insult to 66 to compare 52 to him. 66 was a man. 52 is another pretty boy. This roster is chock full of them
No kidding Favreaholic.
So according to you aaron a player has never talked his way on the field.
Tankduke is having more fun with google translate into French. The fact that you call yourselves fans is pathetic. Why in the heck would he risk further damage to his thumb now instead of getting healthy for the home stretch?
Erin4MVP: La Tonya Claya is an OLB. He should be able to play with a hook.
Just tape the broken thumb up and play!!!
Tanduke - Could you do us all a favor and tape both of your hands until you can't type anymore?
Season over boyos.
This news is really a bummer! Without Clay, Flacco and the Ravens will have a field day against the Pack on Sunday. Neal and Perry alone won't be able to pressure him. Miami learned the lesson yesterday when their key LB (Cameron Wake) was out later in the game (he played earlier with an injury).
One can always take a "half full" approach, but you have to be realistic. Without Clay the D just becomes 1-D vanilla, pedictable and many otherwise decent matchups break down.Hide replies
sure thing.
Did you note how Stafford's completion % increased (from about 58% t 72%) after Clay left the game at the end of the 3rd Q.?
that wasn't because clay left.
they didn't want to give up the big play at that point. no different than washington.
They went into prevent at that point. The lions were not going to be running the ball so they played deep and kept everything in front. Only someone with a low football IQ would say something about completion percentage correlating with poor OLB play late in the fourth quarter with a team down a bunch of points.
DO you know exactly what difference CM's absence made? Are you saying 'zero'? Then either put up or shut up. We will then see on Sunday how much diff. CM's absence makes since you are prepared to dismiss it in the Lion's game.
Btw, 16 pts down in the 4th is not a ' bunch of points" with a QB like Stafford.
it is when the packers refuse to give up the big play.
the fact of the matter is detroit scored 6 points in the 2nd half.
6. as in 3 more than the 1st half with clay.
so i'm not sure exactly what game you were watching.
16 pts is a bunch when there is less than three minutes left. And Stafford is a nobody without Megatron. Sunday proved that.

In the ingress intel page, depending on the zoom level, a message on the right-hand side says "Showing L1-L8 Portals. Zoom in to see unclaimed Portals". My question is: is the zoom level in the map dynamically set between locations as to which portals and unclaimed portals to show? Or should the same level always show all claimed portals or all claimed and unclaimed portals?
Unclaimed portals are marked on the intel map as "Level 1", but you have to set it to show "Level 0" to see them.
As mattozan said, zoom levels 21-16 will let you set the filter to show "Level 0" (unclaimed) portals.
All portals (including unclaimed) can been seen in zooms 21 - 16 (zoom level 21 is closest in that you can zoom, and zoom level 1 is the furthest you can zoom out).
Zoom 15 shows L1 - L8.
Zooms 14 & 13 show L2 - L8.
Zooms 12 & 11 show L3 - L8.
Zooms 10 & 9 show L4 - L8.
Zooms 8 & 7 show L5 - L8.
Zooms 6 & 5 show L6 - L8.
Zooms 4 & 3 show L7 - L8.
Zooms 2 & 1 show only L8.
The same zoom level always shows the same amount of info, regardless of density in the area.
When you zoom to level 16 to filter unclaimed portals it will take too much time and effort to discover them because you'll be looking to the map at a very close range. There is a way to show both unclaimed and up to L8 portals at the same time whilst scanning a large area but it creates too much data exchange and loads too much data from a very wide area in every portal level.
Zoom in to zoom level 16 and then zoom out your browser (You can do this by pressing Ctrl and minus in many browsers). This will load portals from every level for a large area. I don't suggest you trying this in a dense area or at least don't zoom out the map too much.

The 7 Most Terrifying Mouths in Nature
The natural world is full of horrors, and if you've spent enough time on this website, you know that many of these horrors exist just behind the tenuous cloak of sanity that keeps us from screaming every time we leave the house. And sure, a lot of nature's creatures seem harmless, but then they open their mouths ...
#7. Hagfish Have Alien Jaws
We've already covered the hagfish's appetizing ability to produce copious amounts of grotesque, suffocating slime. But we saved you from the horror of seeing what it looks like when it opens its mouth. Let's do that now.
Scientists refer to the vagina dentata that is the hagfish's face as "two pairs of tooth-like rasps on the top of a tongue-like projection." We can only describe it in the language of screams.
Just to add insult to horror, it turns out that the hagfish doesn't even really need a mouth, considering that it can actually eat with its skin. It generally gets its nutrition from swimming around in putrid waters around decomposing corpses and absorbing the delicious corpse juices through its pores. It seems like the only reason it has four rows of yellow fangs is because God had to match a quota for horrible things.
He might also have been feeling a tad insecure.
#6. The Leatherback Sea Turtle Is Full of Daggers
The leatherback sea turtle is one of those animals you can post on your friend's Facebook page to cheer them up after a shitty day. Because damn, look at the cute little guy.
"There is no reason I shouldn't be flying right now."
But if you're utilizing the leatherback turtle for its powers of adorableness, make sure that you don't take a picture of it while it's yawning, because oh God, Jesus no, it looks like the sarlaac.
Those hundreds of jagged stalactites that line the turtle's mouth and esophagus all the way down to its horrible, horrible gut are called papillae, and they exist because the universe hates beauty, and also because the leatherback turtle's diet consists entirely of jellyfish and other soft-bodied, slimy invertebrates. Anyone who's ever tried to catch a jellyfish with two spoons would give their left nut for a fork, which is why the turtle is equipped with its own murder cavern. Those jellyfish are going nowhere.
"Hey, I accidentally swallowed a Rolex. Why don't you reach your arm in and fish it out?"
Leatherbacks need an efficient funneling system to deposit their prey directly into their stomach, because with nearly zero nutrients in a jellyfish, the turtle needs to consume around 73 percent of its body weight every day. That's a lot of time spent chasing jellyfish that the turtle can't waste on inefficiency.
Unfortunately, the turtle can't tell the difference between jellyfish and plastic bags, so the cute and cuddly leatherback turtle is facing extinction from floating debris. And that sucks, because it's just as important to preserve nature's horror as it is to preserve its beauty. It reminds us of who's in charge.
"One at a time, minions! Everyone will get their fair share of turtle loving."
#5. The Vampire Fish Is Just How It Sounds
You already know piranhas as the little ravenous balls of teeth that eat everything, but have you ever wondered what eats piranhas? We're glad you asked! Meet the payara, also known as the "vampire fish." That up there with it is Jeremy Wade, a British biologist who apparently isn't too attached to his nose.
You have to be toting some pretty hardcore weaponry to survive in the Amazon, and the vampire fish is packing a mouth full of knives designed to shank other fish prison-yard style. The teeth are so long -- up to 6 inches -- that it has to sheathe them in a holster built into the front of its face.
Yes, it stabs itself in the sinuses every time it closes its mouth.
They are closely related to piranhas, and piranhas also constitute most of their diet. It's like a monster that has evolved to eat other monsters. And while there have been no reports of a payara stabbing people in the kidneys and making off with their wallets, it's probably still a good idea not to go into the water.
#4. Cookie Cutter Sharks Just Want to Snack on You
Imagine you're alone in the dark, briny depths of the ocean, detached from the rest of your diving team, with nothing but heavy blackness and silence all around you. Then, quietly at first, you hear the sound of high-pitched voices approaching you. "Come play with us!" they say. "We want to be friends!"
"You know what's great about human flesh, Boris?" "Everything, Maurice. Everything."
Appearing only in deep water under cover of night, the cookie cutter shark is only 2 feet long, but it has the largest teeth relative to its size of any shark, contorting its face into a terrifying Bond-villain smile.
Norbert Wu
Admit it. You're all just trying not to stare at its mighty finsticles.
As small as it is, the cookie cutter prefers to inflict hit-and-run attacks. As its name suggests, its signature move is to use the razor-sharp cookie cutter built into its face to quickly rip a circular chunk out of whatever tasty piece of flesh it comes across. Like the Flash, but attacking you with a melon baller. That's why its victims wind up looking like this:
Either that or they put out their cigars on corpses.
And they're not picky about what they clamp onto. Whales, dolphins, other sharks and even submarines bear the circular scars of cookie cutter attacks. And in 2009, marathon swimmer Michael Spalding came out of the water after a midnight swim with an inch deep circular piece missing from his leg. Thanks, Mike. Now they know what we taste like.

It seems confusing to have so many translations of the Bible. Why isn't there just a single (English) one? Or maybe a single "modern" one (given that KJV is hard to understand these days).
Sign up
- Anybody can ask a question
- Anybody can answer
- The best answers are voted up and rise to the top
Being a speaker of a minority language, I can state one good reason and many -- well, not so good ones.
The good reason
Language changes. In some languages, you only have different Bible translations for this reason: the translations are temporally spaced maybe a hundred years apart.
Look at 2 Timothy 2:15 in different English translations:
It's quite necessary to renew the Bible translation time to time, so that people can understand it. The 1769 KJV is still quite understandable for the most part, but the reasons are cultural. The huge popularity of the KJV has kept its language alive.
The not-so-good reasons
Translation philosophy
There are other reasons, which vary from good to bad in different instances. First, there are the different translation philosophies already discussed in another question -- this amounts to multiple reasons. Note that there are benefits to having different types of translations.
Doctrinal reasons
Then there are the doctrinal reasons -- in my opinion, bad reasons. I'll show just one example, the New World Translation's take on John 8:58.
Looking at other English translations of John 8:58, every one of them translates the end as "I am." Looking at an interlinear version, one can be quite sure that the NWT translates the passage on a purely doctrinal basis.
What's very interesting is that the Watchtower Society has an interlinear of their own, and even that translates the phrase as "I am" while also showing the NWT "I have been":
The bad reason turned good reason
If the NWT was the only available translation in English, it would almost force a new translation to be made. Take a bunch of errors such as the one shown above, and the translation gets too unreliable.
Of course, the errors need not be especially crafted to suit some doctrine; they can be made of ignorance, disbelief in the original, etc. First translations in a new language (e.g. what the Wycliffe Bible Translators are doing) almost necessarily contain errors, as many needed terms are very hard to find for a non-native speaker. Whatever the reasons are, a large amount of errors is a good reason to create a new translation.
Translations are only approximations of the original text. Each translation of the Bible will vary on two levels: (1) The scholar's study and understanding of specific phrases and what they mean, and (2) the purpose of the translation which can vary from a staunch adherence to the original phraseology to freely changing the text for the purpose of increasing mainstream understanding and clarity.
When you translate a work from times of antiquity, you have to make some tough choices between translating the original words (literal translation) and preserving the meaning and intention of the original work for the modern ear.
A "chair" in ancient Greek or Hebrew or Aramaic is largely a chair in modern English; Easy enough. But what about phrases and idioms that do not have a direct translation? Sometimes even entire concepts and traditions don't even exist in modern languages. How do you translate those?
For example — In ancient Egypt, wielding a name held great power. If you curried favor with a god (for example), it was believed that you could evoke their name and have them do your bidding at will. That practice was an abomination to the Hebrews and their teachings in that God's name was to be treated with utmost reverence and never evoked for such trivialities like mere mortal endeavors. So when the Hebrews read the original text of the Third Commandment "taking of the Lord's name in vain," they new exactly what was being prohibited. Today, the concept is largely lost so there isn't even a colloquial phrase to describe the prohibition. So we're left with a bit of ambiguity in the text of the Third Commandment which is interpreted to mean anything from "don't say 'bad' words" to "you do NOT tell God what to do, He tells you what to do!"
The same goes for the various nuances of what a passage means by "love," or conveying the meaning of "to kill" vs. murder vs. slaughter. Even a single mention of the word "manger" evokes portrayals of Mary and Joseph traipsing out into the field to to stay in the little red building out back. So decisions are made to faithfully translate the words as written, or rewriting the passage to closer approximate the original meaning of the text. Tough choices.
Referencing the wikipedia article:
The main reason that multiple versions exist, in my opinion, is that when you translate from one language into another, you have to make choices and decisions as to the methods employed. Consider the translations of Homer, Beowulf, Sun Tzu, and countless others - are the English versions identical to the originals? No. Are they as close as can be reasonably made? Yes.
With the different translation philosophies in use (dynamic equivalence, formal equivalence (similar to literal translation), and idiomatic or paraphrastic translation), you are bound to get multiple "versions".
Other linguistic issues arise when there are multiple words that can be translated (properly) for a given original, or when there are multiple originals that can only be translated into one word (eg the Greek words for love - agape, philia, eros, storge : they are all translated "love" in English because we [tend to] prefer one word with multiple definitions over multiple words each with one definition).
English Bible Translations differ for a number of reasons:
1. Differences in the English language. Dancek's excellent answer points out how the English language changes over time. In addition, some translations are more dialect-specific (American English vs British English).
2. Sources used for the translation
Bible translators use a wide variety of source materials, including but not limited to:
Many modern scholars think the Alexandrian manuscripts used to make up the "critical text" are earlier and more reliable. Other scholars strongly disagree, preferring the "majority text" for a variety of reasons.
Some modern translations use a single source, others try to harmonize multiple sources. Many modern English versions are based primarily on other prior versions. Plenty of examples here.
3. Different stated purposes for creating the translation. A few examples:
4. Translation philosophy (Dynamic vs Formal Equivalence).
This is easiest to illustrate using an example: how would you translate the following Spanish phrase:
A very literal word-for-word translation (formal equivalence) might be "What do you call yourself?" or perhaps "What are you called?". This is understandable, but is a little awkward in English.
A modern English speaker would probably ask this question as "What is your name?" This would be an example of dynamic equivalence, which translates idea-by-idea instead of word-by-word.
I think that dancek and warren covered the good reasons for the different versions: language changes. Also the not-so-good reasons: philosophies.
One other reason that I think has come about recently is publisher fees. The big houses like Lifeway and Crossway can save money on their products if they do not have to pay fees for the NIV and NASB translations. From this you get ESV and HCSB. You will see many of the Lifeway resources using the HCSB now.
Some translations are created so they can be free like the New English Translation (NET)
Two more reasons:

I always have problems logically organizing my important data in folders. My goal is to organize such that I am able to find what I want even after a long time, say, 10 years. Or even better, I want it to be organized such that any one else can easily find whatever is required.
Consider a section of my ebooks folder - Computers. It includes ebooks on Programming Languages, Databases, High Performance Computation, Linux. (There are more such folders inside each of these, and so on.) Moreover, the ebooks inside these folders are not actually specific to only that folder. For example, inside Programming Languages folder, I have ebooks on Python, inside which, one of the ebooks is on MySQL, MySQL for Python.pdf. Now, this book could have also been inside the Databases folder too, but for some reason, I don't know, I kept it inside the Python folder (inside Programming Languages folder). Perhaps, its not a good choice.
Suppose, now I have a problem in MySQL and I wish to solve it (using any interface - commandline or using a Programming Langauge). So, I would first crawl into the Databases folder. Suppose, unfortunately, I don't find an ebook useful to my problem. Now, there are few dozen folders in my Programming languages folders, like C, Java, Python, etc. and it is really painful to crawl through every one of these and find a book on MySQL. (Ofcourse, I can run a search in my Programming Languages for MySQL, but there are some practical difficulties; for example, I cannot compare books on MySQL with those on PostgreSQL if I am doing a search, although both are on Databases. However, if they are all in the same folder, I can easily do that.)
So, if there was some better logical organization, I could have easily got the ebook Python for MySQL.pdf. One possible solution I thought is to use links (so, for above example, a link to MySQL for Python.pdf in my Databses folder could have saved a lot of my time.) But the problem with this is that if I rename or move a folder, then all links pointing to folders inside it are dead (atleast on Ubuntu, Linux).
The above example is one such problem. There are a few more. So, I wish to know if there is some standard way defined for organizing commonly used data into folders. Perhaps something like Filesystem Hierarchy Standards.

Flood water continues to rise in Carmi. At 6:30 a.m. today, the Little Wabash River was at 29.85 feet. Flood stage is 27 feet.
The river is expected to crest tomorrow morning at 30.5 feet in the upper stages of minor flooding levels according to the National Weather Service.
The Wabash River at New Harmony is currently at 16.66 feet and expected to crest Tuesday, Jan. 22 at 18.3 feet. Flood stage is 15 feet.
Visually in Carmi, the flood waters that collect between Church Street and Eckerle Park have also increased. On Tuesday, the top yellow bar of the bridge across the creek was still exposed. Thursday, the bar was submerged but still visible. Early this morning, the bar was not visible at all from Church Street. Flooding is not expected to reach any homes in that area.

Time to get it straight once and for all. When do you / do you not make a Brocho on dessert in a meal (where you washed)?
Sign up
- Anybody can ask a question
- Anybody can answer
- The best answers are voted up and rise to the top
There are a lot of different practices (and I believe a stira in the Mishna Brurah), and it may depend on your practice.
Here's what I was told in yeshiva:
Fresh fruit (including "ha'adama fruit" like watermelon and bananas), candy, ice cream -- all get a bracha.
Anything mezonos, anything liquid, cooked fruit -- included with the meal.
According to Sephardi poskim all deserts require their own blessing. In most sephardi homes on shabat they typically strive to bring out something for each of the berakhot(mezunot, eitz, adamah, hakol).
Regarding mezonos (mentioned quickly in a comment on a different answer):
Bread is Hamotzi, and therefore one doesn't make a beracha on it since it is included in the Hamotzi at the beginning of the meal. Cake is Mezonos and one would make a beracha on it when it is eaten as dessert.
The question of making a beracha on a mezonos dessert depends on what is considered "Pas/Bread" vs. "Pas Haba BeKisnin/Cake". There are 3 possibilities cited in SH"A (really simplifying here):
If the desert you're eating satisfies all three, it is definitely a Mezonos (and not a Hamotzi) and therefore one makes a Mezonos when eaten as dessert. A good example are hamentaschen.
However, if it satisfies only one (possibly even two) of the conditions, no beracha.
According to the Sephardim, one is Lechtechila not allowed toto eat cakes or cookies during a meal of bread (Yalkut Yosef, Heleq 3, page 187). He says you must wait until after you finish Birkat HaMazon. EDIT: Because some cakes are Hamotzi and some are Mezonot.
