6 Mysterious People at the Heart of Unsolvable Mysteries
Occasionally, people will go down in history for some great deed or misdeed without anyone ever knowing who the hell they were. Some went out of their way to remain anonymous, others died before they could leave any contact information, and still others fell victim to the fact that we, as a species, really only started keeping reliable records about a hundred or so years ago. Which is too bad, because we would love to know the real identities behind ...
#6. The Man in the Iron Mask
Believe it or not, the bucket-headed French prisoner made famous by Leonardo DiCaprio in The Man in the Iron Mask (and, to a lesser extent, Alexandre Dumas) was actually a real person. Despite what the movies might have you believe, nobody has any goddamn idea who he was. We just know that he was apparently a high-level prisoner who for some mysterious reason had to have his head covered at all times in that iron helmet. Which is kind of bizarre, if you think about it.
United Artists
It gets even more bizarre when you consider that the guy apparently looked like this.
It started in 1698, when a prisoner using the pseudonym Eustache Dauger (which on paper looks heroically similar to "Mustache Danger") was transported to the Bastille, the 17th century French equivalent of a maximum security prison. He had already spent between two and three decades (old-timey records are, at best, imprecise) rotting in various jails across the country. According to legend, he showed up already locked in the iron mask (which looked like an Iron Man Mark I helmet) and was immediately tossed in a cell, forbidden to speak to anyone except to ask for food, water, or a pot to make poopies.

"OK, I filled the pot. Now can I have my stale bread and water?"
And ... that's all we know. Nobody discussed who the hell he was or what he had done or why he needed to be dressed like a very lazy knight. He was listed in the Bastille records as "Prisoner 64389000," which, in addition to being difficult to fit into a song, is a completely sterile piece of information. He was forbidden to ever show his face to anyone, and some prisoners claimed he had two armed guards with him at all times should he ever try to take the mask off. In that event, we assume they would aim for his chest, or shove their musket barrels into his iron eyeholes.
Dauger (or whatever his name truly was) died in 1703, which, as keen-eyed readers may notice, means he sat in the Bastille with his head in a fucking crock pot for four dick-punching years. The subsequent 300 years have done nothing to uncover the mystery of his identity, either -- there were few solid facts about the man to begin with, and three centuries of retellings laced with spirited embellishments have seriously diluted what little we had to go on.
At least they permitted him the dignity of shoe and knee bows.
The popular theory is that he was some kind of high-level political prisoner, hence the need to conceal his identity. However, nobody can quite agree on exactly who that famous inmate might have been, with some of the wilder guesses ranging from Oliver Cromwell's son to the older brother of King Louis XIV himself (Dumas' novelization of the DiCaprio movie is based on that second idea). All we really know about him is from letters written by the Bastille's governor and from his fellow prisoners spreading the story, and those testimonies are contentious about whether his mask was even made of iron to begin with. To be fair, "The Man in the Black Velvet Vanity Veil" doesn't carry quite the same level of mystery and intrigue.
#5. The Isdal Woman
Floriana Barbu/Photos.com
In 1970, a group of hikers outside of Bergen, Norway, suddenly came upon the charred, naked corpse of a woman in the middle of the Isdalen Valley. The body was nicknamed the Isdal Woman, presumably because "Joanie Storm" was considered too disrespectful to her memory, and the investigation that followed was so bizarre and surreal that it was more like a television series by David Lynch than actual police work.
Maybe it's time to take Detective Lynch off this case.
First, the items scattered around her body might as well have been arranged to spell "ambush murder" on the ground next to her. Bottles of gasoline and liquor, a mostly incinerated passport, and enough sleeping pills to kill a Hollywood screen legend were found close enough to have been hastily dropped by a stab-bandit upon hearing the echo of approaching footsteps. But the Isdal Woman herself was difficult to identify, immolated remains notwithstanding -- her fingerprints had been sanded away, and apart from evidence of some work that might have been done in Latin America, her dental records returned no matches.
It seemed like investigators had caught a break when two of her suitcases were discovered in a safety deposit box at a train station, but all of the clothing packed inside had been stripped of their labels. There was a prescription bottle, but the identifying label that might have contained her name and address had been peeled off. In addition, the police found several fake passports adorned with entrance stamps from Moscow (this was back during the Cold War, so fake passports from Russia were highly suspect), and there were 500 deutschemarks sewn into the lining of one of the bags. She also apparently wore a collection of wigs and wrote notes to herself in code. Either she was James goddamn Bond or her murderer was playing an elaborate practical joke.

A woman who travels the world under an assumed name with a collection of wigs? Sounds mighty suspicious.
Furthermore, despite a pool of over 100 eyewitnesses who all claimed to have seen her on the days leading up to her death, nobody could agree on anything except a general description of what she looked like, which usually boiled down to some variation of "an attractive foreign lady in her 30s or 40s." She might have been German, or Italian, or French, or she just might have known how to speak those languages. She used a handful of different names, all fake, during her stay in various hotels around Norway, and the primary witness, an Italian photographer who had dinner with the Isdal Woman before she died (and who had previously been questioned in an unrelated rape case), said she was an antiques collector from South Africa on a sightseeing trip, but he couldn't remember any useful details.
Michal Kowalski/Photos.com
"She liked dousing herself in lighter fluid and smoking cigars. D'ya think that might be relevant?"
She was last seen hiking in evening wear (which, generally speaking, is not the attire one selects to go traipsing through a rocky forest of mystery in the middle of the night), being closely followed by two large men in black clothing. Her body was discovered a few days later, burned to a cinder, laced with alcohol and sleeping pills, and with evidence of blunt force trauma on the back of her neck. The police were so baffled by every single facet of the case that they literally gave up, ruling the Isdal Woman's death a suicide because, hey, why not.
#4. Perseus, the Soviet Spy in the Manhattan Project
In the 1940s, the United States was hip-deep in the Manhattan Project, a top-secret research program into melting our enemies with righteous waves of screaming atomic fire. Plenty of other countries were curious as to what in the savage bulldog farts the Americans were doing with an army of scientists in the middle of the goddamn desert, the Soviet Union chief among them. Fortunately for the Soviets, one of the top scientists involved in the project was actually working for them, feeding them sensitive information the whole time. Unfortunately for the USA, they never found out which scientist it was.
Wikimedia Commons
Who wants to bet it was this weird-looking guy?
All we know is that he went by the code name Perseus. He was in place from 1943 to 1946, nearly the entire duration of the Manhattan Project. And unlike other Soviet moles, who were quickly discovered once World War II came to an end, the Americans had no idea that Perseus even existed until some former KGB officials spilled the beans in 1991. The man stole some of the most sensitive secrets the U.S. government has ever kept and went tap dancing off into the sunset for almost 50 years before anybody realized he'd taken anything.
According to secret KGB documents that were decrypted during a code-breaking project known as Venona (because cryptographers specialize in nonsense words), Perseus was among the high-level scientists at the White Sands missile testing site in New Mexico, as well as the main research facility in Los Alamos, which means he had firsthand access to pretty much everything. The information he gathered (along with that collected by the three spies who eventually got busted) not only gave the Soviet Union an extra year's head start to develop their own nuclear program, but also gave Josef Stalin enough time to practice his "I'm totally surprised" face for when President Truman revealed the atomic bomb to him at the Potsdam Conference in 1945.
Wikimedia Commons
"I knew about nuclear superweapons before they were cool."
Several prominent scientists have been accused of being Perseus, but every one of them was able to categorically prove his innocence. In addition, the Russians suddenly blocked access to all of their declassified archives almost as soon as they had granted it, and the records have remained closed ever since. Whoever Perseus was, he must certainly be dead by now. The only possible reason to keep his identity a secret is if he's some kind of deathless nuclear supermutant who's spent the past half-century maneuvering his way into the highest levels of Russia's political infrastructure.

He will understand that I was not joking.
He will understand I was not joking.
Which of the sentences is correct? Are there any specific rules about the use of "that" in the sentences I reported as example?
Which of the sentences is correct? Are there any specific rules about the use of "that" in the sentences I reported as example?
That can almost always be dropped. In your example, that is being used as a conjunction, i.e. it is introducing a subordinate clause as the object of the main sentence. In most situations where this is the case, it can be dropped. I cannot think of any where it can't be dropped.
When that is used as a demonstrative pronoun, e.g. "that was a nice question," it must be kept or replaced with another pronoun, e.g. "yours was a nice question."
When used as a relative pronoun, it can usually be dropped. For instance, "several people read the question that you wrote" can also be "several people read the question you wrote". But if used in a question with who, it should be kept. For example, "Who was the person that wrote this question?" cannot be *"Who was the person wrote this question?".
I'm sure I missed something, but the comments should keep me honest.
For relative clauses: If the missing element (which is said to be "relativized") of the relative clause is the subject, "that" is obligatory, otherwise, it is optional:
"That" is a conjunction in this type of sentence. (In "the cat that jumped over the wall", it is a relative pronoun.) It is in general OK to leave out the conjunction "that" now and then, as long as no ambiguity arises. Everybody does it all the time, even in formal style, though it happens more often in informal writing and speaking. It is possible too in German, though not in Dutch, as you probably know.
In this sentence, the reader is led onto a false scent because "that" is omitted after "believed". This is a serious mistake. The reason why it is bad here is that "to believe" can have an object, so that the reader thinks "the judge" is simply the object of the verb, instead of the subject of a dependent clause, which in fact it is. When he finds out he is getting the sentence wrong, he needs to read back to repair the damage.
This sentence is doubtful, because "that" is left out two times in a row. It makes the sentence a bit too loose, a bit messy: though the reader will probably get it right in one go, he will still need to spend a little more energy on it than necessary.
In the example you gave, "I was not joking" is a subordinate clause. One way to think about this is that there are two sentences
"that" is not exactly a conjunction as Vincent said. A conjunction joins two independent clauses together, but here 2. is sort of the object of 1. Any time you want to use a clause as the object of a sentence, you can optionally precede it with "that." However, if you want to use a clause as the subject of a sentence, it will always be preceded by "that"
Sometimes clauses modify nouns. In these cases, they're called relative clauses, and what pronoun appears before the clause varies. One of the most important factors of whether or not "that" or "which/who" precedes the clause is whether the clause is "restrictive". To modify somee examples from Wikipedia:
In the first two examples, the relative clause picked out a particular house from all possible houses. In these sentences, there is a tendency to use "that" or nothing. In the third example, the particular house was already determined, and the relative clause simply introduced extra information. These relative clauses tend to be preceded by a wh- word.
As most of the other answers here point out, including that in a sentence like "He will understand that I was not joking" is optional. But I'd like to offer some examples where that, despite performing the same basic function that it does in "He will understand that I was not joking," either is crucial for sense or vastly improves the flow of the sentence. My examples fall into four categories.
I appreciate [that] CAN-SPAM creates a single set of rules for an industry previously struggling with a hodgepodge of 34 existing state antispam laws.
Long Beach Opera recognizes [that,] in order to preserve and strengthen opera's significant in American culture, it must continue to develop new approaches in programming.
He claimed [that] customers complain [that] the new product is heavier than the iPad2 and lacks any major improvements from the old version.
In each of these sentences, readers can supply the implied that themselves, but with more effort than the author should require them to make.
But he insists [that] the charges are false, and that he's sending as many e-mail messages now as he did before the suit was filed.
Google says [that] new movies will be $3.99 and older ones $2.99, and that most rentals will be for 24 hours.
Political consulting firm Election Data Services, which tracks voting-machine usage nationwide, estimates that 40 percent of voters will cast ballots on touch-screen machines this year, and [that] about 42 percent will cast them either on optical-scan machines or on traditional paper ballots.
In these sentences, using that in one branch of a parallel construction calls for using it in another, for balance and clarity.
Ambiguity: Modifier Placement
You'd think [that] by now [OR HERE?] I'd be used to Windows' mystifying default behaviors.
The ISPs promise [that,] under the new agreement, [OR HERE?] content providers will not be given your subscriber information such as your name, address, telephone number, and e-mail address.
A spokesman for the ISP says [that] online [OR HERE?] criminals are stealing AOL users' account passwords and using the profiles to advertise their sleazy wares.
In these sentences, that could fall in either of two plausible places, and the meaning of the sentence would change somewhat depending on its placement.
Ambiguity: Attribution
Microsoft says [that] the transition to a 64-bit OS on the desktop will take a few years, and [HERE, TOO?] typical users will be on the far end of that distribution curve.
AOL says [that] it will offer online backups, but [HERE, TOO?] the feature won't be included in the July 13 beta.
Providers of the service say [that] the bugs have been all but exterminated and [HERE, TOO?] the service is ready for prime time.
In these sentences, the ambiguity relates to whether both clauses are assertions made by the named source, or whether the first is from that source while the second is a follow-up remark made by the author.
There are several different kinds of that in English (besides the ordinary demonstrative this, that, these, those). All of them are used in linking clauses, but they link different kinds of clauses, and follow different syntactic rules.
These that's are not, however, conjunctions; they are Complementizers. Complementizers are one of the parts of speech that have been discovered since the list of POS was drawn up in the 5th century. Not surprising, really; why should we use Roman science in the 21st century?
There are three different kinds of subordinate clauses, depending on what the clause is acting like:
If your sentence is unclear or difficult to parse for the listener/reader without that, then insert it; otherwise, feel free to omit it.
The understanding of your audience is always priority #1.

2010-2014 Mustang Belts
Cars as new as 2010-2014 Mustangs generally don't yet need many major repairs, unless they've been heavily used and abused throughout their lifetimes. One part that any car owner needs to keep an eye on, especially as it ages, is the serpentine belt. This powers many of the systems under the hood and will, eventually, need replaced. If your Mustang is already in that condition, check out the Mustang Belts from CJ Pony Parts today.

While it's a truism that for every finger you point at someone else you've got three pointed right back at you, for liberals it's part of their laws of physics.
It would be impossible for the laws of liberals to govern without this binding hypocrisy that keeps them in orbit.
That's why it shouldn't surprise you that for all the leftist rhetoric about corporations and greed contributing the decline of the country, there's one corporate outfit that's really screwing up this country- and it's a creation and a creature of the left.
Like most Big Left organizations it is a corporate body that is funded by you and I, but serves only the holy trinity of liberals, leftists and liars.
That corporation is, of course, Union, Inc.
Some call it Big Labor, but that's an insult to the dignity of labor.
And if you want to see examples of corporate personhood gone bad you needn't look to Wall Street. No; the stakes there are too high and the disclosures too transparent for mere corporation law to shield corporations from poor governance.
The laws of economics- the real laws, not the theories- usually take care of things in the private, corporate marketplace.
Instead- like many things in the country- you need to look farther left for real-life examples of rogue corporate personhood.
Union domination of the Democrat Party has become so entrenched- and so full of government money- that it's impossible to tell if Union, Inc. is the parent corporation of the Democrats, or if the Democrats control the unions. And the symbiotic and sybaritic relationships between the unions and the Democrats have helped screw up corporations, municipalities and public policy in this country for too many decades.
Even as the so-called recovery notches another year, and state revenues begin to stabilize, municipalities and school districts are increasingly filing for bankruptcy in order to containing the rising cost of benefits demanded by unionized public workers.

Policy | Resources and Support | Privacy and Confidentiality | Reporting | Retaliation | Advisors
Sexual harassment and misconduct subverts the educational mission of Bennington College and threatens the well-being of students, faculty, and staff. Conduct, whether intentional or unintentional, that results in sexual harassment or misconduct is prohibited and will not be tolerated.
Bennington College is committed to offering and providing support to individuals who have experienced, or know of someone who has experienced, an incident of sexual harassment or sexual assault. Our goal is to provide you with crucial information that may help at a time when action and decision-making can be difficult. Please know that the offices and individuals are available to assist you with questions or to assist in other ways as needed. For additional information, please refer to the Bennington College Policy and Procedures Governing Sexual Harassment and Sexual Misconduct.
If you are in immediate danger, find a safe environment/location and contact Campus Safety by dialing 767 (SOS) on campus or 802-447-4250 from any noncampus phone. Campus Safety staff will provide assistance to you and can help you make connections to medical, psychological, and other staff and resources, as needed.
Medical Considerations. Consider a medical evaluation for your own safety and well-being. A medical evaluation can be an important part of a criminal investigation and the collection of physical evidence. Agreeing to a medical examination does not obligate you to pursue legal action.
Emotional Considerations. You may experience a wide range of emotions in the days, months, and years following an incident. Healing takes time and everyone reacts to trauma in a unique way. We advise you to seek professional help to assist you with tending to your emotional responses. Professional guidance and support is available. You may talk to a psychological counselor on campus. If you dial x767 (SOS) on campus or 802-447-4250 from any noncampus phone, emergency personnel on campus can arrange for you to speak with the Psychological Services on-call counselor.
If you are not in immediate need of aid or protection, consider contacting others who will be knowledgeable and helpful to you. Any member of the Bennington College community who believes that he or she has been sexually harassed is encouraged to report the incident. You may wish seek support and information from trained personnel, both on and off campus.
You may wish seek support and information from trained personnel, both on and off campus. Staff members at the College will ensure your privacy and do their best to respect the need for confidentiality. However, in situations when there is a threat to your own well-being or safety or a threat to other members of the College community, the College may not be able to maintain confidentiality.
Once any other College official learns of a sexual harassment or misconduct complaint, written or unwritten, the College may be required by law to investigate it and to take action consistent with the law and with the College's policies and procedures. Within the requirements of such laws and policy, confidentiality will be observed as much as:
Confidential resources are not required to report any information about an incident to the Title IX Coordinator without your permission. There are some exceptions. For additional information, please refer to the Bennington College Policy and Procedures Governing Sexual Harassment and Misconduct.
Partially confidential staff may be able to maintain an individual's confidentiality but have an obligation to provide select details to the College such as nature, date, time and general location of the incident.
A written complaint of sexual harassment must be filed with the Title IX Coordinator (Senior Vice President for Strategic Initiatives David Rees, 802-440-4302, office location Barn 125) or the Deputy Title IX Coordinator (Director of Library and Information Services Oceana Wilson, 802-440-4606, office location Crossett Library).
You may want to consider reporting a crime and/or bringing civil action against the perpetrator. You may consult with a lawyer at any time or report a crime to the Bennington Police. You may also file a complaint by writing or calling relevant state or federal agencies. Specific resources and contact information can be found in the Bennington College Policies and Procedures Governing Sexual Harassment.
Any attempt by a member of the College community to penalize, intimidate, or retaliate in any way against a person because he or she makes a report or complaint of sexual harassment, or who is otherwise involved in a sexual harassment investigation or hearing, is prohibited. Any person who believes that he or she has been retaliated against should immediately contact the Title IX Coordinator (Senior Vice President for Strategic Initiatives David Rees, 802-440-4302, office location Barn 125). Any person who takes such retaliatory actions will be subject to disciplinary action.
Important note regarding leniency. Sometimes, victims of sexual harassment are reluctant to come forward out of fear that they may be charged with violations of Student Conduct standards (for example, underage drinking at the time of the incident). It is of paramount importance to the College that all incidents of sexual harassment be reported so that those affected can receive the support and resources needed. Therefore, in order to facilitate reporting, the College may choose to not charge students who report incidents of sexual harassment with violations of Student Conduct standards for behavior that otherwise would be considered violations.

Will dry yeast do any good when brewing a lager or is it necessary that you use a liquid one? I am talking about making some kind of starter with the yeast, not just pitching it into the fermenter. How much difference in flavor does it make? Do dry yeasts make a descent lagering?
Dried yeast is a perfectly good product to use, and it will yield appropriate flavour characteristics for the type of strain you decide to use. The biggest difference with dried yeast is that it has a lot more trehalose than liquid yeast, about 12-15% of the dried weight. Trehalose is just a disaccharide made up of two glucoses. Its role is to protect the yeast cell from extra cellular stresses, like in this instance dehydration. Many breweries will use dried yeast for specialities because dried yeast has a longer shelf life than the liquid ones. So there is no reason to worry.
You need to be careful though when preparing your yeast for pitching! Make sure that you mix the yeast with sterile water or wort before pitching into your beer. Use 10 times the amount of wort as to the yeast's dry weight. Try to get the temperature of your wort as close to 100 degrees Fahrenheit (38 degrees Celsius) as possible when mixing the two together. This will improve your yeasts viability and fermentation performance. Rehydration at lower temperatures will hurt your yeasts viability. Mix the wort with the yeast for 5 minutes before pitching it into your lager. I recommended inoculating the slurry into your final beer at 68 degrees Fahrenheit (20 degrees Celsius) for optimum results.
Reading over the comments from my last post I see my previous answer must have been incredibly confusing. Let me try again. The yeast being used is dried. To make it wet and living you need to add clean water or preferably clean wort to it. Wort is the sugar water extracted from your grain. The temperature you should make the yeast wet at should be close to 38 degrees Celsius. If the temperature is any lower than this, your fermentation won't be as quick or active. For any of you who are interested re-hydration at 38 degrees Celsius will yield 60-70% viability, 20 degrees Celsius 30-40% viability and 4 degrees Celsius 20-25% viability. This is a separate process from adding the yeast to the beer. When you are wetting the yeast with wort or water you are making something called yeast slurry.
Once you have made your yeast slurry. Let it sit for five to ten minutes stirring occasionally. The beer you are making is totally separate. The temperature of your beer can be 20 degrees Celsius, but since this is a lager, it can also be lower than 20. Most lager strains will work happily at 13 degrees Celsius. Once your slurry is mixed you will pour the slurry along with your soon to be beer into whatever you are using for a fermentation vessel. This is called pitching. You are not throwing the bag of yeast directly into the wort and this wort is not at some outrageous temperature. The high temperature is just for making the slurry. This temperature will not kill the yeast it will make it more alive.

DENISON, TX -2011 will be forever known as the year of extreme weather. Joplin, Birmingham, and Tuscaloosa will all be remembered for significant tornadoes. North Texas had an interesting year as well, with at least 44 tornadoes recorded across northern and central Texas.
The 2012 severe weather season is fast approaching. Are you ready for whatever this year has in store? Can you recognize the clues that suggest large hail, flash flooding, or a tornado is possible? Do you want to become part of the severe weather warning system in your county? As part of its area-wide weather preparedness campaign, the National Weather Service in Fort Worth will answer these and many other questions at the SKYWARN severe weather program on Thursday, February 16th, from 7:00 to 9:00 PM. The program will be held in the auditorium at the Grayson County College Center for Workplace Learning. The session is held in partnership with Grayson County Emergency Management.
The 2012 program will discuss thunderstorm formation, severe weather production, and features associated with severe storms. The presentation will also review tornado formation and behavior, non-threatening clues which may be mistaken for significant features, and what you can do to keep you and your family safe when thunderstorms threaten. The program will discuss spotter operations and recommended reporting procedures. The two-hour presentation will be in multimedia format, featuring numerous pictures of storms and over 30 minutes of storm video clips.
"We have quite a bit of new material for this year's spotter training program", said Mark Fox, Warning Coordination Meteorologist at the Fort Worth NWS Office. "We will show some behind the scenes activity from last year's severe weather operations, and will show how and why severe weather reports from spotters are so essential."
The fundamental purpose of the spotter training - and of the storm spotter network as a whole - remains unchanged. "We could not do our job as well as we do without storm spotters. Radar is a great tool, but it only tells us part of a storm's story. Spotter observations complement the data we use to analyze storms. The combination of spotter reports and radar data gives us the best possible picture of the storms and what's going on inside them".
The program is free and open to the public. "By coming to this program, you will learn a lot about thunderstorms", Fox said. "Even if you don't become an active storm spotter, you will learn about how storms work and the visual clues you can identify when storms are in your area. We will discuss severe weather safety tips. This will better prepare yourself and your family for the threats that storms pose".
The Grayson County severe weather program is one of over 60 that the Fort Worth NWS Office will conduct between January and March 2012. The National Weather Service in Fort Worth provides forecasts, warnings, and weather services for 46 counties in north and north-central Texas.

I'd love to have a NN to do panorama shots, seems like a very nice piece of equipment. One thing I always wonder about is people who use it on shots like the above one in this forum, of the ocean, with birds in it. Ummm, how? What if something moves while repositioning? With te ocean, it's always moving, so won't there always be some discontinuity from one to the next? I presume people only do it on sunny days with no clouds?
What about using wide-angle vs. std. vs. telephoto lenses for panoramas? Lets say I get a 180 degree view using 2 shots with a 90-degree wide-angle lens. Then I get effectively the same area-of-view using a whole bunch of shots with a 20-degree telephoto lens. Won't the 2 shots from the wide-angle seem kind of like, "folded", perspective wise? whereas the many telephoto will seem more natural?

Like in title I'm looking for some old animated movie which I remember from past - I think it was around 1995 or something like this. I remember owl which always smoked cigar, and he had helper - little clumsy bat. Owl was always mean to that bat. They both was helping bad sorcerer (he was able to turn into dragon), who lived in big, dark castle.
About plot, there was princess, and that sorcerer wanted her. And of course there was some prince or knight that was fighting to rescue princess. Last thing I remember about it is the ending. Sorcerer was trying to change into dragon, but good guy killed him when he was half way. Sorcerer turned into rock as dragon with only human head.

Gear Head Designs' Supercharger Install - Project Pure PonchoWritten on January 25, 2013 Our 467ci Mule gets supercharged!
Now that we have discussed the theory behind supercharging and introduced you to Gear Head Designs' supercharger kit for Pontiacs in the primer article, we can move on to preparing our Pontiac engine for supercharging, setting up the dyno, and dyno testing.
When contemplating upgrading to a supercharger, many aspects need to be considered, not the least of which is that the engine needs to be blower friendly. Here are a few points to consider before you bolt on a supercharger kit, and how we approached them with the Mule:
Is the Pontiac mechanically sound enough to take the added cylinder pressure?
Prior to bolting on the blower we had performed a leakdown, cranking and running compression tests, and a bubble test on the Mule, so we knew it was healthy.
What is the compression ratio?
Project Pure Poncho was built with a 9.1:1 compression ratio, so in theory it would be able to accept moderate levels of boost. If your engine is 10:1 or greater with iron heads, then it most likely would not be the best idea to put a supercharger on it, even if you limited the boost to 5 psi. The only exception would be if your Pontiac had a bulletproof rotating assembly and you were willing to use 100-octane fuel.
Is the rotating assembly (pistons, rods and crankshaft) up to the task?
A supercharger places more load on the snout of the crankshaft and the front main cap. It could take up to 100 hp or more to turn a blower at high rpm and boost levels, and this needs to be recognized. Any weakness there will become apparent very quickly, as the crankshaft will see a load in a region it's not designed for.
Our forged rotating assembly was not a source of trepidation. It's comprised of stout pieces, and though it's meant for a normally aspirated application, we felt confident in its durability when exposed to moderate boost pressure. The only concern is that when bad things happen, they do so very quickly in a forced-induction engine. If the tune-up wanders near the line, it would be very possible that a ring land would disconnect from a piston and wreck the engine. So keep this in mind when using forced induction—safety trumps power when it comes to the tune.
Is the cam profile good for a blower?
Superchargers are sensitive to the overlap of the camshaft. If both valves are kept open, the boost pressure goes out the exhaust instead of being trapped in the cylinder. A cam profile that works great on a drag engine will usually have poor results with a supercharger. The Mule was designed with a cam grind of minimal overlap, since it is meant to be street friendly. It should be able to build boost easily.
Is the fuel delivery stout enough?
A typical dyno fuel system was not going to be sufficient for a forced-induction application. The fuel pressure regulator needs to be able to add one pound of fuel pressure for each pound of boost. Likewise, the fuel pump must to be able to maintain the volume at the higher pressure. A standard carburetor uses 6-7 psi of fuel pressure and according to Gear Head Designs, the three pulleys they sent us would be approximately 5, 10 and 15 psi. Thus, a fuel pump that would maintain flow up to 22 psi (7 plus 15) would be required, along with a boost sensitive pressure regulator. We installed both.
Will a new carburetor be required?
The Gear Heads kit is a blow-through design—the carburetor is pressurized, so a standard version will not work without a good deal of modification. (This is in contrast to a draw-through system that places a plenum for the supercharger to provide forced air under the carburetor.)
To resolve this issue, we turned to Quick Fuel Technology (QFT) and the company's 750-cfm blow-through street/strip carburetor. It features blower- specific annular discharge boosters with additional holes to guarantee enough fuel flow. The metering block is machined to accommodate larger main wells. Other changes are to the throttle body. It has relief slots to direct fuel to the intake manifold and not out the shaft bushing. In addition, the throttle shafts are round instead of the normal flat stock. This is to prevent bending under boost pressure. A Nitrofil float replaces a brass style that may crush under pressure. The power valve has no back-pressure blow-out protection, since that would not allow it to work with forced induction.
Will the ignition need to be upgraded?
The ignition system needs to be strong enough to arc the spark plug under the higher cylinder pressure. A street car would require a boost-retard system that we did not employ on the dyno, since we were only testing under full load. It's not just to keep abnormal combustion at bay, but also as the VE is increased, the turbulence in the cylinder improves and less timing is required to make peak power. A boost retard system would allow the engine, when used on the street, to enjoy an efficient spark advance curve under vacuum to atmospheric pressure, and then remove a minimum of 1 degree advance for every pound of boost.
Do I need a different spark plug heat range?
You want the spark plug to not hold an excessive amount of heat, and be responsible for igniting the gasoline prior to the discharge of the ignition coil. Identify the heat range of the spark plug that is in the Pontiac now, and then go a few steps colder to help keep abnormal combustion away.
Craig used a special tool to confirm the heat range of the plug that was already in the Mule and then went two heat ranges colder. The Pontiac had Autolite 26 plugs; he switched to Autolite 24, and tightened the gap to 0.035 from 0.045. The wider gap makes the engine more prone to misfire due to the added turbulence and pressure from the blower.
Further Considerations
There were a few other things that we integrated into our testing that may or may not apply to a street application.
HPP wanted to identify the discharge temperature of the air from the supercharger and also in the plenum of the intake manifold. We would know the dyno room temperature, and then with the other data, we would be able to confirm if the blower was working in an acceptable adiabatic range. The influence of an intercooler was also one of the test protocols. Craig placed the second temperature probe under the divider in the plenum of the intake manifold so that it would be accurate and not disturb fuel or airflow.
Our plan was to run the engine without any cooling effect for the air and then introduce two different methods. The first would be a Snow Performance Stage 2 Boost Cooler methanol injection system. It includes a 3-quart reservoir, UHO (Ultra High Ouput) electric pump, different flow rate nozzles, a programmable Digital Variable Controller to tune the amount of injection, installation hardware and instructions, and an 8-ounce bottle of Boost Juice concentrate (mix is 50/50 water and methanol).
The theory of the methanol injection is to provide a cooling effect to the charge through the latent heat of vaporization. Methanol and water will evaporate, and this process removes heat from the air. It is the same basic theory that allows a living being to perspire and be cooled on a hot summer day. The controller allows the amount of methanol sprayed to be varied by the duty-cycle of the pump, along with a set pressure for boost.
A traditional air-to-air heat exchanger plumbed in between the blower discharge and the carburetor hat was to be the next method of intercooling. The methanol injection system would be turned off. Gear Head Designs provided a CXRacing intercooler that measures 24 inches wide by 12 inches tall by 4 inches thick.
We felt it was important to try two different cooling methods and to be able to identify an actual heat drop with a thermocouple. In our use, the engine would only see short bursts of peak power on the dyno. A street/strip Pontiac with this kit would have to live under more severe conditions with a closed hood and high ambient temperature. This would almost make some style of cooling necessary for the best results, but based on Gear Heads data, the system can be used safely without any charge air cooling.
The Results
The Mule fired right up with the QFT blow-through carburetor and idled perfectly with the load of the Paxton Novi 1500 blower. With the engine running, we visually checked the belt tension and all the brackets for movement. Everything looked fine, but subsequently the belt came loose as it stretched and needed to be tightened during our dyno session. This is not unusual with a new belt on a fresh installation.
RaceKrafters did install a linear air/fuel meter, since we would not be able to monitor brake specific fuel consumption (BSFC) due to the need for two flow meters when using a return fuel system. The boost sensitive regulator employed a return line to the fuel cell that a standard fuel pressure regulator does not.
We did immediately notice that the supercharger carburetor was rich at idle with an 11.3:1 air/fuel ratio. We were told by QFT that it was set this way, and Craig knew he would be able to lean out the idle circuit if it were a street engine. For the dyno, the rich mixture was just fine. We were not going to idle it long enough to do any harm or foul the plugs.
Our first test would have the 4.00-inch-diameter pulley (the least boost), no air cooling, and 92-octane pump gas. The specification predicted 5 psi of boost, so the timing was retarded from its previous 32 degrees BTDC to 27 degrees BTDC. Another full pull would be done with this setup, and then any tuning changes or decisions would be made.
The third protocol would be to introduce the methanol injection with this calibration, and then shut it off and move up to the next smaller pulley (3.25 inches). The smaller pulley was supposed to produce between 8 and 10 psi of boost. It would be tested with and without the chemical intercooler. Depending on the results and the engine's health after these tests, we could then go to the smallest pulley and perform all the steps over again.
With the first full pull, it was easy to see the Mule loved the Gear Heads supercharger. It made a peak torque of 632.1 lb-ft and 596.1 hp on pump gas with an average boost pressure of 3.609 psi and a maximum of 5.66 psi. The QFT carburetor was very rich (which means safe) under full load with an air/fuel ratio of around 9.7:1. The engine had 27 degrees of total timing.
The maximum blower discharge temperature was 148 degrees F with a dyno cell of 96 degrees F. With no cooling, the plenum temperature was 88 degrees F. The rich air/fuel ratio was acting as a chemical intercooler and doing an excellent job of removing heat from the compressed air. This is the real benefit of a carburetor over an EFI system. The phase change of the fuel in the plenum provides cooler charge air. The temperature of the charge was actually 8 degrees F lower than the ambient temperature in the dyno room.
After a backup pull, with such sterling results and nothing broken, we decided to leave the tune alone. The Pontiac made more power than we had estimated, and we were very happy with the rich mixture. We did not want to risk hurting a piston by going too lean.
The next step was to evoke the methanol injection system. With it on and timing bumped to 30 degrees, the air/charge temperature only dropped about 2 degrees F to about 86 degree F, and the power stayed about the same. This is no reflection on the system, but is a result of the efficient annular discharge booster in the QFT carburetor and the extremely rich mixture. If we would have leaned the carburetor, then the methanol injection could be used to bring the air temperature back down, and a more aggressive tune-up and higher power could be realized. But we felt it unnecessary to push the envelope for just a few more ponies.
Satisfied with the performance, we moved to the 3.25-inch-diameter pulley and higher boost. For this test, Craig drained the fuel cell and poured in 100-octane Rockett Brand street gas. We did not know how much boost the smaller pulley would make and we wanted an insurance policy.
We thought the Mule was stout before, but the new pulley ratio really woke it up. With this setup, the discharge temperature from the blower went up to 208 degrees, and with no chemical intercooler, the plenum air temperature went up to just around 90 degrees F.
The cooling effect of the rich mixture was still in play, but the engine did pop a little at around 4,500 rpm since it went even richer than before. We could not get a real clean pull. Craig decided that we would need to lean the carburetor slightly and replaced the 74/82 jets with 72/80 jets. The timing was still at 30 degrees and the methanol was turned on for safety with the elevated discharge temperature from the blower.
Project Pure Poncho returned the favor of a slightly leaner mixture (10.5:1) with peak torque of 680.2 ft-lb and 647.4 hp! This is from a stock '75 block, 6X head 455. The plenum temperature with the Snow Performance injection came down to 82 degrees F, and the blower discharge went up to around 212 degrees F.
Concerned about the cylinder pressure and the stress on the crankshaft, we did not try the smaller pulley. The final test was to install the air-to-air intercooler with the 3.25-inch-diameter pulley.
With everything plumbed in place, we started the pull, and then at 4,000 rpm, the engine went lean (16:1) and started to buck and pop. Bob was running the dyno and he quickly got out of the throttle. After spending an hour trying different things, the engine would not take any load with the intercooler in place. Craig put it back to the way it was and it made 647 hp again with no fuss.
Paxton and Gear Head Designs believe the resistance from the intercooler was robbing boost. Their recommendation is to run a smaller pulley to increase the boost and/or run a smaller intercooler. Gear Head Designs has a smaller CXRacing intercooler on the way for a future test.
Regardless, we had a solid day of testing with very good numbers and no breakage. There is no doubt that the Gear Heads supercharger kit is an excellent system. When installed on a properly prepared engine, it can produce power and reliability that was previously unheard of. Regarding the Mule, it allowed an already great performing engine put out an additional 150-plus horsepower and 125-plus lb-ft of torque on a conservative tune—quite an accomplishment for a bolt-on kit.

1. A normally aspirated carburetor fuel pressure regulator makes no provision for a rise in output under boost, so an Aeromotive boost-sensitive fuel pressure regulator was employed and the output set at 7 psi. (A boost-referenced fuel pressure regulator does come with the Gear Heads kit, but we already had one for the dyno, so we used it instead.)2. An Aeromotive high-flow fuel pump that could supply a sufficient volume at the higher pressure was also fitted.3. Corey Porter did the plumbing, since a return line to the fuel cell from the regulator was required.4. The Snow Performance Stage 2 Boost Cooler water-methanol injection system was mounted on the wall of the dyno cell. It employs "manifold boost pressure to determine when and how much fluid to inject," according to the company. This improves cooling efficiency, which results in better performance over a broader rpm band.5. The Snow digital variable controller allows the user to tune the injection delivery and boost pressure for it to evoke.6. The kit comes with three injector nozzle sizes 3, 5, and 6. We used the nozzle marked number 3, which is rated for 175 ml/min.8. Bob drilled the headers for thermo couples just in case the intake manifold responded strangely under pressure. It did not and all readings were even under load.
10. Craig used a special plug heat-range tool to confirm that the new plugs were actually colder than the old ones.11. The total ignition timing was retarded from 32 degrees BTDC to 27 degrees BTDC to compensate for the boost pressure on the pulls made with no methanol injection.

Mansfield, Ohio (CNN) -- As Republicans braced for news of a post-convention bounce for President Obama Monday, Mitt Romney sought to reclaim the offensive in the race during a speech to Ohio voters.
Romney mocked the president's campaign slogan at an enthusiastic rally in a Mansfield, Ohio factory, warning if Obama were reelected Americans would face more years of high unemployment, a high deficit, and "more years of a nation at the cusp of the kind of crisis you're seeing in Europe."
"'Forward' is his campaign slogan.' I think 'Forewarned' is a better term," Romney told about a thousand cheering supporters. "We're forewarned and that's why we're not going to re-elect this man. Instead we're going to America on track to create jobs and prosperity."
The GOP presidential nominee assailed the president over foreign policy flaps and the upcoming defense cuts - called sequestration - consuming Washington this fall.
"He won't describe all the jobs that are going to be lost - no, not probably until after the election," Romney said of the congressionally-mandated cuts triggered to kick in next January. "It seems we've found one secret relating to national security that he's willing to keep."
After a beat, the audience laughed at Romney's veiled swipe at unidentified national security leaks regarding the operation that killed Osama bin Laden.
Romney then resurrected his criticism of an Obama open mic gaffe, when the president was overheard telling the Russian prime minister he would have "more flexibility" after the November elections.
"There's another secret he's willing to keep related to national security," Romney joked.
Romney's offensive on foreign policy came after Democrats attacked him over the issue at their national convention, mocking the Republican standard bearer for his gaffe-filled overseas trip and foreign policy credentials.
The GOP candidate's Monday rally was only one in a handful of public events for Romney over the past week, as he prepares for a trio of debates against Obama this October. Speaking with reporters, a Romney adviser dismissed the notion Romney had not been keeping a vigorous campaign schedule.
The adviser, Kevin Madden, also confronted a controversy over remarks Romney made on NBC's Meet the Press Sunday, when he seemed to indicate a softening of his position on President Obama's health care plan.
Madden said Romney's support for pre-existing coverage for people who have continuously carried health insurance were "solution-oriented" remarks.

Are annual ob/gyn visits now obsolete?
Many women still feel more comfortable checking in
|Credit: MCT
But does that mean an annual trip to the ob/gyn is no longer necessary?
That depends on whom you ask.
Unsurprisingly, many ob/gyns say it's still essential for women, while internists say they can handle many of the procedures women need. But at least one ob/gyn says there is now no need for women to get an annual ob/gyn exam.
"There's no need for a healthy woman to come in but for every three years," said Dr. Joe Walsh, the chief of the general ob/gyn division at the UConn Health Center in Farmington.
"The question is: Is there anything we are doing beyond the Pap that will improve the women's health? And the answer is 'no,' he said. "Women need to come in less often and have fewer tests and still be healthy. Most people know the basics of health. It's not that hard to be healthy. If you want to be nagged, feel free to come in. But you can check your weight at home and your blood pressure at Target."
New guidelines, issued this spring by the U.S. Preventive Services Task Force, advise women to undergo screening less often. The American Cancer Society released similar recommendations. The groups concluded that the effectiveness of the screening did not outweigh the potential harms of false positive tests, which could lead to biopsies and further pregnancy complications down the road.
"We achieve essentially the same effectiveness in the reduction of cancer deaths, but we reduce potential harm of false positive tests," Dr. Wanda Nicholson, a task force member and an associate professor of obstetrics and gynecology at the University of North Carolina at Chapel Hill, told The New York Times. "It's a win-win for women."
The new guidelines suggest that women should have a Pap smear no more than once every three years. A Pap smear looks for evidence of cervical cancer and other pre-cancerous conditions. Under these new guidelines, experts recommended beginning screening at age 21 and ending it for women older than age 65 unless other health conditions are present.
The new recommendation led some doctors to wonder whether women needed an annual ob/gyn exam. Writing in the Journal of Women's Health, Dr. Carolyn L. Westhoff, a professor of obstetrics and gynecology at Columbia University, and several colleagues called the test "obsolete" for women without symptoms. Westhoff told the Los Angeles Times that an annual visit to discuss issues is a "fine idea," but that "a pelvic doesn't have to be part of that encounter."
Still, Waterbury- and Torrington-area ob/gyns say a comprehensive annual exam covers more areas than just the Pap smear.
"The Pap smear is only a small part of the exam," said Dr. Clare Ventre, an ob/gyn at Waterbury Center for Women's Health. "It's not just the scraping of the cervix that's done. We discuss preventive health issues. A lot of the internists aren't doing breast exams. Many are not doing rectal exams. Virtually none are doing internal pelvic exams, to check for any signs of abnormalities such as uterine tumors, ovarian tumors, ovarian cysts, lesions on the cervix or vulva."
Other ob/gyns agree and add that many patients are more inclined to talk to their ob/gyn about sensitive reproductive issues than they are to their general practitioner.
"We're more than just performing the Pap smear," said Dr. Stefanie Durstin, an ob/gyn in Torrington. "The visit is more comprehensive than that. Often, as my patients come in, they do have certain issues or concerns, they do have issues focused on the reproductive area and female system. I do feel that this is our specialty, so if a woman is having irregular bleeding or menstrual problems, this is an area that we are familiar with."
"The exam is important in terms of patient education," said Ian Cohen, a Waterbury ob/gyn who practices at Saint Mary's Hospital. "People learn about their anatomy. In terms of sexual protection and function, these are issues that are in the forefront of women's minds when they're in the reproductive age. There's no shortage of subjects to talk about in the annual ob/gyn visit."
But Dr. James Uberti of Prospect Primary Care Partners, says he does many of the procedures ob/gyns perform, including pelvic exams. "You might want to sit down with your ob/gyn and say, 'Is this really necessary every year?'" he advises.
Dr. Rebecca Andrews, an internist at the UConn Health Center, acknowledges that ob/gyns and internists often cover the same issues. "Both do an internal exam and a breast exam if it's needed," she said.
Internists will also examine cardiac risk factors, cholesterol, nutrition and immunization history. But for many female patients, which doctor they see annually depends on their relationship with their physician and what types of procedures their doctors routinely perform.
"It depends on the physician and it depends on the patient," Andrews said. "I do all the gynecological care for my patients that they wish. Some would prefer to go to a specialist. And some (primary care) doctors may have decided Pap smears may not be part of what they do. Likewise, there are ob/gyns who go above and beyond what I typically do. Some people like to keep their women health visits separate."
Many women — particularly young, healthy women — use their ob/gyn for their primary care needs — everything from routine blood tests to keeping their immunizations current.
"We recognize that we may be the primary doctor for that patient so we have to make sure we touch those bases," Cohen said. "In my experience, most women in (the reproductive) age range don't even have a primary care doctor who is not their ob/gyn."
Ventre agrees. "Often, if they have no other significant problem, (the ob/gyn) may be the only doctor they are seeing," she said, noting that ob/gyns may refer patients who need more specialized treatments to other doctors.

I reinstalled Ubuntu 12.04 after a corruption caused by a faulty operation (not much interesting but you can read about it). The old system had three partitions, one for boot, one for / and one for home. I followed these instructions to restore the system keeping my home dir. Basically what I did was:
- full backup of the old disc using
- export the list of installed packages in the old system
- reinstall Ubuntu 12.04 not formatting the partition containing home directories
- reinstall the packages I had in the old system using the list of step 1.
Everything still works and most of the settings have been kept, but not all. I have my desktop icons, my firefox bookmarks, etc. But other configurations have been lost.
Now I'd like to replace the
/etc of the new system with the
/etc of the old one - I have a copy of it - so to have the same system as before, or at least very similar.
Before trying by myself to swap the new
/etc with the old one I'd like to be aware of the possible issues which could arise, so to prevent bad things from happening again.
Any thoughts or suggestions?

So, I have a project in school where I have to make a 2 point perspective drawing and give the equations for all the lines. I would like to make a dashed line(we don't have to but I want to), so I was thinking of how to express that and I was thinking how I would do that programming and would express it as
if ((int[x]<x<int[x]+.2)==true)
draw line
However, as I need to write everything in equations how would this be expressed mathematical notation? Would this simply be expressed as a limit?

HEARNE (January 2, 2013)—Hearne police Officer Stephen Stem was on paid administrative leave Wednesday pending the outcome of an internal investigation into a shooting in which he was involved that left a mentally challenged man dead, KBTX-TV in Bryan reported.
Hearne police responded to a call of shots fired at around 2:30 a.m. Sunday in the 800 block of South Riley after a caller reported that someone was shooting a gun from a white vehicle in the Columbus Village Apartments parking lot.
Officers arrived and found the vehicle.
An officer-involved shooting occurred in which a man was shot and killed and a gun that did not belong to police was recovered at the scene, Hearne police said in a statement that provided no additional detail.
Family members identified the victim as Tederalle Satchell, 28, who they say was mentally challenged.
"Next thing I know my sister ran into my bedroom screaming that he had been shot and killed," Yulanda Nelson, the shooting victim's aunt, told KBTX.
Family members do not believe Satchell owned a gun.
Texas Rangers and Department of Public Safety are assisting Hearne Police with the investigation.

We know it converges for any prime p. I just want to know how to compute its exact value: $$\prod_{n=1}^{\infty} (1-p^{-n})$$
Wolfram MathWorld gives the expression of this product in terms of the q-Pochhammer symbol and the Jacobi theta function. See formulas (46) and (47) in
Let's fix the issue of giving bounds on the infinite product. The pentagonal number theorem gives, after grouping pairs of consecutive terms with the same sign, an alternating series with terms that are decreasing in modulus. So for instance for $c:=\prod _ {n\ge1} (1-2^{-n})$ one has
$$1-\frac{1}{2}-\frac{1}{4}+\frac{1}{32}+\frac{1}{128} -\frac{1}{4096}-\frac{1}{ 32768 } < c < 1-\frac{1}{2}-\frac{1}{4}+\frac{1}{32}+\frac{1}{128}$$ that is $ 0.288787842 < c < 0.2890625, $ in any case larger than $1/4$.

Concord Monitor: Casino bill must not favor some businesses over others
Will existing New Hampshire businesses suffer financially if the governor and Legislature allow a large casino to open on the Massachusetts border? Some or even most might, but lawmakers would be wrong to pass legislation or draft rules that protect some existing businesses but not others from the potentially deleterious economic impact of expanded gambling.

ISTANBUL, Turkey (CNN) -- Turkey's use of F-16 warplanes to force a Syrian airliner to land and be searched on Wednesday demonstrated a blunt warning to Damascus a week after five Turkish civilians were killed by cross-border artillery fire from Syria.
On Thursday, a day after the Syrian passenger plane was forced to land at Ankara's airport, Turkey's Prime Minister Recep Tayyip Erdogan announced at a news conference that cargo confiscated from the aircraft included "items ... traveling from Russia's agency that exports weapons munitions and military supplies to Syria's defense ministry."
The Syrian Ministry of Information released a statement that said Turkey's claim "has no truth in it," and Erdogan "needs to show those equipments and ammunition in order to prove that he is truthful at least before his own people."
Turkish officials have still not confirmed exactly what the plane was carrying. Just hours after the plane was forced land, however, Foreign Minister Ahmet Davutoglu said that the passenger plane's cargo violated international civilian aviation regulations.
"This is a matter of principle," he said on Turkish broadcaster TGRT. "We are determined to stem the flow of arms to the regime in Syria which so cruelly kills its own people. It is not acceptable that such a thing can be done by using our airspace."
Turkey previously has intercepted Iranian shipments of arms headed to Syria through Turkish territory and airspace over the past year. In those cases, the government remained similarly silent about the exact nature of those shipments, perhaps to avoid embarrassing Iran, a major Turkish trading partner and neighbor.
On Wednesday, Turkey's foreign ministry announced the Syrian plane received a radio message while it was still outside of Turkish airspace, warning that it was suspected of carrying illegal cargo. But the plane's pilot did not turn back, the Turkish statement continued, and F-16 warplanes escorted it until it landed at Ankara Esenboga Airport at 5:15 local time. The Turkish diplomat said cargo boxes addressed to the Syrian Defense Ministry were found on board, inspected and confiscated.
"This is a clear message from Turkey that it will make it hard for Syria to import arms from outside. If the borders and the airspace are being controlled this tightly we can also assume that the sea lanes, the Mediterranean ports might also be kept an eye on by the Turkish navy," said Murat Yetkin, editor in chief of the Hurriyet Daily News.
Syrian officials accused Turkish security forces of mishandling crew members during the plane's stay in Ankara. Transportation Minister Mahmoud Said went one step further, calling the forced landing a "Turkish piracy operation."
"They raided the plane carrying weapons, they handcuffed us, took us out of the plane and threw us at the ground," crew member Heitham Kassir told Syrian state TV, showing bruises on an arm.
Russian officials also expressed concern over the treatment of the Russian nationals, and alleged that embassy officials were not given information about the situation. According to a Russian Foreign Ministry statement, Russian diplomats and doctors dispatched to the airport in Ankara were denied access to the 17 Russians among the 35 passengers.
Turkey's foreign ministry responded in a statement Thursday, claiming Turkish authorities learned there were Russians on board the plane only shortly before it was allowed to take off and that Russian Embassy officials were then apprised of the situation.
"All the necessary precautions were taken to ensure the safety of the passengers," said the Turkish statement.
Analysts say one of the reasons Ankara has not been forthcoming with what was found on the plane -- although there were initial Turkish media reports that the shipment may have contained missile parts or military-grade communication equipment -- is that neither Turkey nor Russia is looking to weaken their strong bilateral trade relations.
"The Turkish and Russians have agreed to disagree on the Syrian issue and seem to have reached the conclusion that Syrian affairs should not effect Turkish-Russian relations," Hurriyet Daily editor Yetkin said.
The Russian ambassador to Turkey was invited to meetings at the Turkish Foreign Ministry discuss the issue, a Turkish government spokesman told CNN.
Once-strong social and trade relations between Turkey and Syria have grown tense over the past year after the Syrian government began a bloody crackdown on anti-government protestors. Ankara backs the anti-government rebels and has called on Syrian President Bashar al-Assad to step down.
More recently, the neighboring countries exchanged artillery fire following the death of five civilians killed by a Syrian shell that fell into a Turkish border village.
An explosion occurred near the Syrian Ministry of Education, according to state-run TV network SANA. The Syrian Observatory for Human Rights, a London-based opposition group, said the explosive was aimed at a military judiciary headquarters. There were no initial reports of casualties.
At least 210 people were killed by Syrian security forces across the country Thursday, including 47 in Idlib, according to the Local Coordination Committees for Syria, a network of opposition activists.
CNN can't confirm reports of violence or casualty counts as access to the country by international journalists has been severely restricted.
For a third day, al-Assad's forces shelled the city of Homs in western Syria early Thursday, the Syrian Observatory for Human Rights reported.
Government troops and rebels have battled on and off for control of the city since the start of the conflict. Twenty people were found dead in Homs on Wednesday, the LCC reported. North of Homs, in the city of Saraqib, rebels tried to take over government-held positions. Three rebels and a number of government soldiers were killed, the Syrian Observatory said.
Fighting between rebels and regime forces continued in and around the town of Maaret al-Numan in Idlib province, said Abu Abdul Rahaman, who works with an opposition network that documents what the rebels are doing. He spoke to CNN via Skype.
The town is strategically important because it's on an international highway that the government uses to send supplies to Damascus, Idlib, Hama, Homs and Aleppo.

Since it is still permissible to do melacha (work forbidden on shabbat) including lighting shabbat candles until shki'a (sunset), which is 18 minutes (or 40 minutes in Jerusalem) following "candle-lighting time", why do we still call it by that name?
Sign up
- Anybody can ask a question

Dr. Yehudah (Leo) Levi, in his Jewish Chrononomy (Hebrew section, p. מ, third footnote) cites two reasons that have been suggested for the 18-minute standard:
If someone couldn't light earlier, then we go with the standard halachic understanding that the deadline is sunset. But either of these reasons explains why it's best to light candles at least 18 minutes earlier (and there are some communities where the standard time is even earlier than that - in Jerusalem, for example, candle-lighting time is 40 minutes before sunset).
The "candle-lighting" in the term (English translation of הדלקת נרות or ליכט בענטשען) probably refers to the ritual act of lighting candles which is an obligatory act (first recorded by our sages) performed on each Friday evening, and not to the act of lighting candles in general and for other purposes.
The time people generally light candles for Shabas is called candle-lighting time. I don't think that that really requires a source: it's standard use of the English language. That means that there may be different views as to what candle-lighting time (even at the same latitude and longitude): many in America use 18 minutes before sunset, but if a certain synagogue tends to pray very early in the summer and women are instructed not to light before p'lag hamincha, then the synagogue's schedule may list p'lag hamincha as "candle-lighting time". In other words, I don't think the term has any special meaning beyond "time to light candles".
But I have no proof of this.

Hi All,
i trying to create base controller - for visual inheritance with events.
What was done:
Ext.define('Default.Window', extend:'Ext.Window'.....
with toolbar and tabpanel for two items (by xtype)
What stops me:
how to define in base controller : (for example) button for change tabpanel active item grid<>form...for inheritance?
Ext.define('My.Form' extends : 'Default.Form'......
Ext.define('My.Grid' extends : 'Default.Grid'......
Ext.define('My.Window', extends : 'Default.Window' // with tollbar and tabpanel:items{grid,form}
How in

So you want a base (abstract) controller and have other controllers extend it correct? If you are using the init method to execute this.control in the base controller and the subclass controllers then the subclass controllers need to execute this.callParent(arguments);Mitchell Simoens @LikelyMitch
