Finding Record in the Store
I have JsonStore object and I need to find record with exact match for specific field. I tried 2 things:
1) when building JSON output on server side I added "id" param like that:
then on browser side I call store.getById("1") but get undefined as return
2) I try calling store.find("id","1") and it does return correct index but... its partialmatch. In other words if I have another record with "id":13, it also will be found.
Is there way to either do complete match for the field or what do I make wrong in my #1 approach?
Thank you.

does the reader have an 'id' config property defined that maps to the field you wish to use as an id?
24 May 2008 8:56 AM #3
Yes it does but I think it creates "id" property instead of Reader internal id. Anyhow I solved this by just scanning through records:
store.each(function(rec) { if(ReloadTable._items[rec.get("id")]) /* do something*/{break;} });

If you want to get by ID, use getById!

But that was my original problem. See my #1 last phrase:
then on browser side I call store.getById("1") but get undefined as return
My point was that looks like getById() uses internal id generated by Store and ignores "id" property passed by the server in the JSON.

I think I know what is going on.
Since Im using JsonStore object I do not explicitly specify "reader". Documentation says following: JsonStore is pre-configured with a built-in Ext.data.HttpProxy and Ext.data.JsonReader. Question now is what is the "id" config property that JsonStore sets for the JsonReader. Apparently nothing. I was hoping that JsonStore would at least setup id:"id" as default but its not the case.
I set "id":id in the JsonStore and everything started to work.
Note to myself: pay attention to the bold statements in the help.
Here is what I missed from the documentation: Note: Although they are not listed, this class inherits all of the config options of Store, JsonReader.

This confused me in the beginning. Don't confuse the id you pass from the server and assign in your store with the record id used by ext. I went through my code and changed all references to "id" that were coming from server to "primaryKey" for example just to clarify in my head what was going on.MJ

It took me a couple of tries to get this right. When defining the store, it worked when I specified the field name for the 'id' property in the store, not the field number as I saw in another note.
store: new Ext.data.JsonStore(
id: 'item_id',
[ { name:'item_id', type:'int' },
{ name:'name' },
{ name:'item_type' },
{ name:'item_lvl', type:'int' }
} ),
Then, to find the row number, you can use the following to select a grid item.
var itemId = 6; // whichever item should be selected
var rnum = grid.getStore().indexOfId( itemId );
grid.getSelectionModel().selectRow( rnum );
Hope I saved someone some time.

Hi ,
I am not able select record from Ext.data.Store.
STORE :: Ext.define('mailtrack.store.TemplateContents', { extend: 'Ext.data.Store', model: 'mailtrack.model.TemplateContent', autoLoad: true, storeId: 'TemplateContentStoreId', proxy:{ type: 'ajax', url:serviceUrl+'template-service/get-template-content/1', reader: { type: 'json', root: 'Block' }, afterRequest:function( request, success ) { console.log( 'request here' + request ); console.log( 'success result here' + success ); } } }); MODEL :: Ext.define('mailtrack.model.TemplateContent', { extend: 'Ext.data.Model', fields: [ {name:'id',type:'long'}, {name:'content',type:'string'}, {name:'createdBy',type:'string'}, {name:'updatedBy',type:'string'}, {name:'createdOn',type:'date'}, {name:'updatedOn',type:'date'}, {name:'blockcontentId',type:'long'} ] }); var templateContentStore = Ext.create('mailtrack.store.TemplateContents') ; templateContentStore.load() ; var templateRecord = templateContentStore.findRecord('id', 1) ; templateRecord.get('content') ;
Can any one help me.
Thanks in advance.

Give a combinatorial argument to prove that the number of derangements satisfies the following relation:
$$d_n = (n − 1)(d_{n−1} + d_{n−2})$$
for $n \geq 2$.
I am able to prove this algebraically but not able to see the combinatorial example.
I am able to prove this algebraically but not able to see the combinatorial example.
This is directly from Wikipedia and I think is understandable enough, and hence I post it here again.
This is simply the first method given in this answer. In that answer, three methods for computing the number of derangements are given.
Suppose that $f:[n]\to[n]$ is a bijection with no fixed points. Then $f(n)\in\lbrace 1,\ldots,n-1\rbrace$. All these cases are the same up to relabelling, so suppose $f(n)=n-1$. Now define $g:[n-1]\to[n-1]$ by $g(x)=f(x)$, unless $f(x)=n$ in which case define $g(x)=n-1$. If $g$ has no fixed points, fine. Otherwise, since $f$ has no fixed points, it must be that $g(n-1)=n-1$, i.e., $f(n-1)=n$. Thus $f$ just swaps $n$ and $n-1$ and $f|_{[n-2]}$ must have no fixed points.
Now just check that each of the terms in your formula are accounted for and nothing is counted twice.

President of the Saudi Human Rights Commission (SHRC) Dr. Bandar bin Mohammed Al-Aiban led the Saudi delegation to the 10th session of the U.N. Human Rights Council, which convened today in Geneva.
In a speech before the meeting, Dr. Al-Aiban stressed Saudi efforts to protect human rights across the world. "In line with this approach, the Custodian of the Two Holy Mosques King Abdullah bin Abdulaziz Al-Saud has called for many international dialogue conferences to build bridges of dialogue and constructive cooperation among the peoples and followers of religions, civilizations and cultures in the world," he said.
Dr. Al-Aiban noted that the Kingdom has donated $1 billion for the reconstruction of the Gaza Strip; $1 billion for the International Development Bank (IDB) to be allocated to the Treatment of Poverty Problems Fund; $500 million for the World Food Program; and $150,000 for the 2nd Durban Conference, which will be held in Geneva in April 2009.
Regarding domestic reform, Dr. Al-Aiban cited the creation of the King Abdulaziz Center for National Dialogue, an institution designed to spread the culture of human rights and expand participation and freedom of expression all over the Kingdom.

After a default install of SQL Server 2008 R2, the SQL Server Agent process seems to be set to manual startup. What is the reason for this? Is setting to automatic a bad idea or pointless for some reason?

During the install process for SQL 2008 R2 it gives you the option to change the start-up type.
I can see a slight desire to not have it start automatically depending on what you might be using it for. I have some setups that the user has some Agent jobs that clean up data or immediately start processing data. If I am troubleshooting, or in general the server goes down, I may not want all that processing to start back up immediately after bring the server back online.
In most instances though you will see the Agent set to automatic start up.
You should set it to automatic if you intend to use it. I am not sure why Microsoft decides to leave the default to manual after installation but I always change it because I always schedule maintenance. So you are on the right track to start and set to automatic.

I have a sharepoint insfrastructure where a document library is made available both locally and on the internet. I have a few web front end servers facing the public (in the DMZ) while having another set inside the secured network for internal use. I also have an application server for sharepoint services inside the secured network.
My goal is to configure sharepoint in such a way that the sharepoint services are available only locally and not via the internet. The users accessing the system online should not benefit of the sharepoint services.
Is this possible on the same farm?

Hurricane Sandy Eyes Coast
Eastern Seaboard Prepares For Possible Flooding; Inland Areas Gird for Snow
Hurricane Sandy could deliver a bigger coastal surge than Hurricane Irene and bring a wide swath of strong winds, heavy rains, snow and flooding early next week to the mid-Atlantic, New England, and parts of the Midwest, government forecasters warned Friday.
2012 Storm Season
Hurricane Sandy moved through the Bahamas early Friday after leaving 21 people dead across the Caribbean, following a path that could see it blend with a winter storm and hit the U.S. East Coast with a large storm next week. Follow real-time coverage in the 2012 Storm Season stream .
The slow-crawling late season "Frankenstorm," as meteorologists have dubbed it, was likely to make landfall Monday evening in southern New Jersey, the National Hurricane Center said Saturday morning. On Saturday the storm churned northeast of the Bahamas as a Category 1 hurricane with 75 mile-per-hour winds, regaining hurricane strength after briefly dipping to tropical-storm status.
It could bring 10 inches of rain to coastal areas and 5 to 10 inches inland, dumping as much as two feet of snow in West Virginia's mountainous areas, driving 50 mile-an-hour winds to the Ohio Valley and the potential flooding of rivers in states including Pennsylvania and Delaware, forecasters said.
It's pretty safe to assume "we're looking at something bigger than Irene,'' said James Franklin, branch chief of the National Hurricane Center. "We expect much broader surge and wind impacts."
Irene made landfall in August 2011 as a Category 1 hurricane in North Carolina, then caused major flooding as it moved slowly through New Jersey, New York and Vermont as a tropical storm.
For Sandy, the Federal Emergency Management Agency deployed assistance teams to states along the Eastern seaboard to assist storm efforts. Philadelphia Mayor Michael Nutter asked people living in flood-prone areas to leave their neighborhoods by Sunday, imploring, "don't wait." He said the city might open shelters to accommodate displaced residents.
New York Gov. Andrew Cuomo declared a state of emergency on Friday. But New York City Mayor Michael Bloomberg held off Friday on calling for a massive evacuation of low-lying areas as he did before Irene hit last year, saying it was premature to make a call. But he said the city is likely to experience high tides, high winds, and heavy rainfall for several days, with a significant possibility of flooding and bridge closures.
In Connecticut, Massachusetts and Rhode Island, governors and their staffs were going over response plans with power utility companies, which were lambasted after drawn-out power outages during Irene and a freak October snow storm last year.
"It's hard to imagine this is going to happen again." said Laurie Becker, mental health administrator for Morris County, N.J., saying some people are still put of their houses from Irene.
Sandy killed at least 43 people across the Caribbean, including 29 in Haiti and 11 in Cuba, the Associated Press reported.
Hurricane Sandy largely spared Florida on Friday, as it traveled northward off the Atlantic Coast, packing 75-mile-an-hour winds. It was expected to leave the state by Saturday, in time for a major college football game in Jacksonville between the University of Florida and the University of Georgia.
Hurricanes and tropical storms typically veer east off the U.S. coast as they move farther north. That isn't expected to happen this time because a high-pressure system south of Greenland is blocking the storm's path, sending it westward.
Forecasters said storm surges on the Atlantic coast could eclipse those of Irene, partly because Sandy is expected to bend and hit land at a perpendicular angle, unlike Irene, which stayed largely parallel with the East coast while moving north. Sunday's full moon, which creates higher tidal waters, is exacerbating coastal flooding risks.
Mr. Franklin, of the National Hurricane Center, said it was still too early to estimate how high coastal storm surges could reach and which part of the mid-Atlantic or New England could be hardest hit.
"It's a race against time," said Michael Keyworth, general manager of Brewer Cove Haven Marina in Barrington, R.I., where three machines used to lift boats out of the water were fully booked Friday as boat owners raced to get their crafts to land. In Vermont, state agriculture officials urged farmers to harvest crops that were still in the field.
Sandy also disrupted some election activities. Massachusetts Gov. Deval Patrick, a Democrat, canceled a trip to Florida Sunday to campaign for President Barack Obama.
Halloween, too is being upended. North of Boston, the city of Gloucester is moving up trick-or-treating to Sunday. Pennsylvania's Emergency Management Agency advised people to take down Halloween decorations or other objects in their yards, including lawn furniture. "They can become projectiles," said Ruth Miller, a spokeswoman for the agency, who warned of possible injuries. She said the storm could affect the entire state.
In Connecticut, where 800,000 homes lost power after last year's October nor'easter, Connecticut Light & Power is "far better prepared" than last year, William Quinlan, the utility's senior vice president of emergency preparedness, said at a news conference Friday.
One strategy, he said, has been to "aggressively" trim trees. Trees full with leaves can become heavy in rain and snow, making them liable to topple on power lines.
Still, Connecticut Gov. Dannel Malloy warned that the high winds could last for two or three days, which would limit the ability of the utilities to respond to outages during the storm.
Chris Shannahan of AA Electrical Service in West Hartford said his company was booked up for the weekend installing generators. "We are turning people away," he said.

In the article of Massari presented here there is a trace inequality which is said to be true for domains which satisfy the interior sphere condition:
There exists $\rho>0$ such that for every $x \in \Omega$ there is a ball $B_\rho$ of radius $\rho$ such that $x \in B_\rho \subset \Omega$. This rhoughly means that the curvature of the domain is bounded from above.
In some other article of Anzellotti and Giaquinta they prove a similar trace inequality for bounded domains with $C^1$ boundary. My question is:
If a bounded open set $\Omega$ has $C^1$ boundary, is it true that it satisfies the interior sphere condition mentioned above?
[edit] If the answer is negative for $C^1$ boundary, is it possible that for a $C^k$ with $k \geq 2$ or $C^\infty$ boundary the result becomes true?

Deploying Fusion Order Demo on 220.127.116.11
By Antony Reynolds-Oracle on Jul 13, 2012
How to Deploy Fusion Order Demo on SOA Suite 22.214.171.124
We need to build a demo for a customer, why not use Fusion Order Demo (FOD) and modify it to do some extra things. Great idea, let me install it on one of my Linux servers I said…
Turns out there are a few gotchas, so here is how I installed it on a Linux server with JDeveloper on my Windows desktop.
Task 1: Install Oracle JDeveloper Studio
I already had JDeveloper 220.127.116.11 with SOA extensions installed so this was easy.
Task 2: Install the Fusion Order Demo Application
First thing to do is to obtain the latest version of the demo from OTN, I obtained the R1 PS5 release.
Gotcha #1 – my winzip wouldn't unzip the file, I had to use 7-Zip.
Task 3: Install Oracle SOA Suite
On the domain modify the setDomainEnv script by adding "-Djps.app.credential.overwrite.allowed=true" to JAVA_PROPERTIES and restarting the Admin Server.
Also set the JAVA_HOME variable and add Ant to the path.
I created a domain with separate SOA and BAM servers and also set up the Node Manager to make it easier to stop and start components.
Taking a Look at the WebLogic Fusion Order Demo Application
Note that when opening the composite you will get warnings because the components are not yet deployed to MDS.
Deploying Fusion Order Demo
Task 1: Create a Connection to an Oracle WebLogic Server
If some tests complete when you test the connection to the WebLogic domain but other tests fail, for example the JSR-88 tests, then you may need to go into the console and under each servers Configuration->General->Advanced setting, set the "External Listen Address" to be the name that JDeveloper uses to access the managed server.
Task 2: Create a Connection to the Oracle BAM Server
I can't understand why customers wouldn't want to use BAM. Monitor Express makes it a matter of a few clicks to provide real time process status information to the business.
Oh yes! I remember now, several customers IT staff have told me they don't want the business seeing this data because they will hassle the IT department if something goes wrong, and BAM lets them see it going wrong in real time…
Task 3: Install the Schema for the Fusion Order Demo Application
When editing the Infrastructure->MasterBuildScript->Resources build.properties make sure that you set jdeveloper.home to the jdeveloper directory underneath the directory that you installed JDeveloper into. I installed JDeveloper Studio into "C:\JDev11gPS5" so my jdeveloper.home is "C:\JDev11gPS5\jdeveloper".
Gotcha #2 – the ant script throws an error partway through but does not report it at the end, so check carefully for the following error:
oracle.jbo.JboException: JBO-29000: Unexpected exception caught: java.lang.NoClassDefFoundError, msg=oracle/jdbc/OracleClob
This occurs because the build.xml does not include the ojdbc6dms library which have CLOB support so in JDeveloper add it to the path "oracle.jdbc.path" in Infrastructure->/DatabaseSchema/Resources build.xml file.
<path id="oracle.jdbc.path">
<fileset dir="${jdeveloper.home}/../wlserver_10.3/server/lib">
<include name="ojdbc6.jar"/>
<fileset dir="${jdeveloper.home}/../oracle_common/modules/oracle.jdbc_11.1.1">
<include name="ojdbc6dms.jar"/>
Rerun the ant script from Infrastructure/Ant with a target of "buildAll" and it should now complete without errors.
Task 4: Set the Configuration Property for the Store Front Module
Nothing to watch out for here.
Task 5: Edit the Database Connection
Nothing to watch out for here.
Task 6: Deploy the Store Front Module
There is an additional step when deploying, you will be asked for an MDS repository to use. Best to use the MDS-SOA repository and put the content in its own partition.
Gotcha #3 –when prompted select the mds-soa MDS repository and choose the soa. Note that this is an MDS partition, not a SOA partition.
Note that when you deploy the StoreFrontServiceSDO_Services application it will populate the local WebLogic LDAP with the demo users. If this step fails it will be because you forgot to set the "-Djps.app.credential.overwrite.allowed=true" parameter and restart the Admin Server.
Task 7: Deploy the WebLogic Fusion Order Demo Application
Set up the environment for BAM.
When editing the WebLogicFusionOrderDemo->bin->Resources build.properties make sure that you set oracle.home to the jdeveloper directory underneath the directory that you installed JDeveloper into. I installed JDeveloper Studio into "C:\JDev11gPS5" so my oracle.home is "C:\JDev11gPS5\jdeveloper".
Gotcha #5a – Make sure that you create directories on the server for the FileAdapter to use as a file directory and a separate control directory and make sure you set the corresponding properties in the build.properties file:
- orderbooking.file.adapter.dir
- orderbooking.file.adapter.control.dir
Gotcha #5b – Also make sure you set the following properties in the build.properties file:
- soa.domain.name
- managed.server.host
- managed.server.rmi.port
- soa.db.username
- soa.db.password
- soa.db.connectstring
Note that the soa.server.oracle.home property must be set to the ORACLE_SOA_HOME (usually Oracle_SOA1 under the MW_HOME) on the server.
Gotcha #6 – I found that unless I went into the console to each servers Configuration->Protocols->IIOP->Advanced setting, and set the "Default IIOP Username" and "Default IIOP Password" to be the weblogic user the deployment failed.
Gotcha #7 – when deploying BAM objects in seedBAMServerObjects activity I got an exception "java.lang.NoClassDefFoundError: org/apache/commons/codec/binary/Base64" which is caused because the BAM installation under JDeveloper does not have all the required libraries. To fix this copy the commons-codec-1.3.jar file from the server machine ORACLE_SOA_HOME/bam/modules/oracle.bam.third.party_11.1.1 to the JDev machine ORACLE_JDEV_HOME/bam/modules/oracle.bam.third.party_11.1.1.
Gotcha #8 – when deploying BAM objects in seedBAMServerObjects activity I got an error "BAM-02440: ICommand is unable to connect to the Oracle BAM server because user credentials (username/password) have not been specified.". The quick way to fix this is to change to the directory where the import script was created on the JDeveloper machine (ORACLE_JDEV_HOME\bam\dataObjects\load) and run the load script after setting the JAVA_HOME
..\..\bin\icommand -CMDFILE ImportFODBamObjects.xml
I am sure if I spent more time in the ant scripts I could have found what was wrong with the script for deploying this.
Running Fusion Order Demo
You are now ready to place an order through the frontend app at http://soahost:soaport/StoreFrontModule/faces/home.jspx. The BAM dashboard is available for you to monitor the progress of your order and EM is all set to let you monitor the health of the processes. Enjoy studying a relatively complex example that demonstrates many best practices such as use of MDS.

Final Site Plan | Overview | Project Advisory Team | Site Planning History | Environmental Impact Statement
Thank you Seattle, this planning project is complete!
Final Site Plan
The site plan was reviewed by the Seattle Board of Park Commissioners on Thursday, July 11, 2002. There was a briefing and public hearing at that meeting. On Thursday, July 25 the Board discussed the plan and formulate recommendations to the Superintendent. The plan was then be sent to the Seattle City Council for its review and action.
The Planning Report (1.6M) is a companion to the plans.
A large number of projects are currently active in Jefferson Park, representing millions of dollars of funding. To ensure that these projects are carried out in the best possible manner, the Parks Department coordinated a site planning process, with extensive public involvement. The site planning built upon past planning work. The site planning process has included preparation of an Environmental Impact Statement (see below), released 6/28/02.
Site Plan Design Program
The site planning process is described in the design program (219k). As completely as possible, the design program expresses the Parks Department's and community's expectations and objectives. It includes a thorough description of the project scope, budget, and schedule.
Project Advisory Team
A Project Advisory Team (PAT) was appointed by the Superintendent in Spring, 2001 and met through January, 2002. The PAT was an advisory committee made up of representatives of over 20 key Jefferson Park stakeholder groups. It was intended to facilitate sustained and balanced stakeholder participation. The PAT reviewed and provided recommendations on the development of the Jefferson Park site plan. Meetings of the PAT were open to the public. At its meetings the PAT reviewed project scope, budget, schedule, recent accomplishments, and upcoming tasks. Recommendations of the PAT on these topics will be given substantial weight by the Parks Department. A new PAT will be formed in early 2002 to assist with the detailed design of the new gym.
Jefferson Park Site Planning History
Site Alternatives Phase
The Portico Group prepared the following boards to explore a range
of possible site layouts. While the types of improvements and cost are
about the same in each alternative, the character of the park differs
greatly. The hard lid sports field drawings show the possibilities if
funding is found to construct a hard lid on the reservoir shown in each
alternative. Funding is not available at this time. Project Advisory
Team members filled out a consensus
plan decision tree questionnaire (PDF 42k) to give guidance to the
designers and give PAT members a better sense of which issues they have
reached agreement on and which need further consideration.
Early Consensus Plan Phase
After careful consideration and much discussion with community members, Project Advisory Team members, and Parks Department staff, The Portico Group prepared a new plan. This plan incorporates the most desirable aspects of the alternatives and some new ideas. This plan shows how the park might be developed if funding is secured to construct a hard lid on the south reservoir, allowing the park to extend over the reservoir. At this time Seattle Public Utilities, which operates the reservoir, has funding for a floating cover, which is less expensive than a hard lid. With a floating cover, the south reservoir would be enclosed with a fence to protect water quality and would look similar to the south reservoir areas shown in alternatives 1 and 2 above. This plan is continuing to evolve.
Later Consensus Plan Phase
After further discussion and several iterations The Portico Group developed the plan below. As in earlier plans, this one shows how the park might be developed if funding is secured to construct a hard lid on the south reservoir, allowing the park to extend over the reservoir. At this time Seattle Public Utilities, which operates the reservoir, has funding for a floating cover, which is less expensive than a hard lid. With a floating cover, the south reservoir would be enclosed with a fence to protect water quality and would look similar to the south reservoir areas shown in alternatives 1 and 2 above. Portico also prepared a site planning report .
Environmental Impact Statement
The Portico Group, Adolfson Associates, and Heffron Transportation started preparation of an environmental impact statement (EIS) for the Jefferson Park site plan early January, 2002. The EIS is intended to examine potentially adverse environmental impacts of the proposed site plan. Key steps in preparation of the EIS are:

Further to my advise yesterday, regarding moving to Charleston, buying a house, scalding explosions, and fearlessness; I want to introduce you to something I have been working on in the small hours of morning for more than a year.
This is Blue Light Media Studio LLC, my new business! Full service media, graphic, and public relations services for hospitality and retail in Charleston, South Carolina.
Yes! Very exciting! I am thrilled to move my skill sets to the Holy City and grateful for the positive reception and help it has enjoyed from my old pals there.
And, if I am slow in keeping up these pages, it is likely because I am keeping up someone else's, but you have my word, I will get back as soon as I can. Wish us luck!!!

I would like to buy a new computer in the next days. The Thinkpad Edge E525 (AMD A6-3400M with AMD Radeon HD 6520G, product number 12002JG) is in the pole position, but I did not find a review how the hardware works with Ubuntu:
I would be grateful for any speedy answer whether all hardware of the E525 works with Ubuntu (especially 11.10). And if not, what are the issues and have you find a solution. Thanks!

- Allure
- Salon & Spa Reviews
- Spa Guide
The next big names in hair and makeup from New York to Los Angeles.
Colorist Nicole Tresch
Rita Hazan Salon
720 Fifth Ave.
What we were after: Our one-year-old son's warm,
natural-looking blonde.
What we got: A buttery hue, which Tresch achieved with a gold-toned single-process dye to remove ashiness and honey-colored highlights to bring back dimension.
Bottom line: The best color appointment of our life. Our new shade looks sun-kissed—and matches our son's exactly.
Hairstylist Tashina Tantalos
Bumble and Bumble Downtown
415 W. 13th St.
What we were after: A much-needed cut that would add shape and volume to our long, fine, curly style.
What we got: Tantalos cut several inches off our straggly ends, added layers at the sides and in back for fullness, and snipped soft layers around our face.
Bottom line: She gave us exactly what we asked for. Removing the dead weight from our ends made our curls springier. Our hair hasn't looked this thick since middle school.
Hairstylist Yuval Shemesh
Sharon Dorram Color at Sally Hershberger
17 E. 71st St.
What we were after: Some shape for our overgrown bob and a low-maintenance style that would fit in with our daily swim.
What we got: An angled bob that was longer in front. Shemesh also sliced light layers into the ends so it swished effortlessly.
Bottom line: Shemesh was sweet and solicitous, and while the cut is not as wash-and-go as we would have liked, after a round-brush blowout it looks better than we could have imagined.
Hairstylist Jessica Jane
The Parlour
1339 Frankford Ave.
What we were after: A cleaned-up version of our current style.
What we got: Jane insisted on more than a trim to perk up our fine, flat hair. She snipped the back shorter than the front and pruned our layers when they were dry to add lift.
Bottom line: With Jane's tweaks, our limp strands are remarkably buoyant.
Colorist Aly Shea
Junior & Hatter
2750 N.W. Third Ave.
What we got: A brilliant, sun-drenched shade, thanks to delicate slivers of pale champagne- and wheat-colored lowlights.
Bottom line: Our new sparkling lowlights were subtle enough to look as though they were created by the sun.
Hairstylist Ada Bodem
Salon V
1007 W. Webster Ave.
What we got: Bodem dry-cut graceful long layers, staggering them in front so they cupped our face perfectly.
Bottom line: A beautiful, fuss-free cut in under an hour, for under $50? We're certain we'll be back.
Colorist Molly Forbes
Bespoke Hair Artisans
3918 W. 49½ St.
Edina, MN
What we got: Alternating russet and copper lowlights with a few gold threads around our face. A final amber glaze produced a gorgeous strawberry blonde.
Bottom line: Our new auburn hue suits us so well that we're itching to call Forbes and go even redder.
Hairstylist Brandan Licatino
Roots the Salon
1407 Richmond Ave.
What we got: Blunt bangs. Licatino suggested them, and even though we had no intention of getting something so drastically new, his confidence was infectious. He cut the bangs first to let us get used to them, then neatened up our frayed ends so they looked full, not scraggly.
Bottom line: It's a cut that we didn't expect but absolutely love. Plus, it's easy to style at home, thanks to Licatino's tips.
Hairstylist Jamie O'Neill
Jamie O'Neill Salon
1519 Queen Anne Ave. N.
What we got: A fresh shade of chestnut. O'Neill painted deep brown over our brassy, silver-streaked roots, then blended in our lighter ends with ribbons of caramel that started a few inches below our roots.
Bottom line: The glittering highlights covered our grays and caught the sun to emphasize our curls, just like when we were a kid.
Colorist Eileen McCarthy
Barrow Salon
256 Sutter St.
What we got: A warm chocolaty shade that McCarthy broke up with threads of hazelnut. She paid close attention to the way our curls fell and made sure the highlights were perfect before rinsing—even though it meant staying after the salon had closed.
Bottom line: It's the first time our color has looked natural and complemented our curls.
Colorist Heather Cie Shehorn
8820 Burton Wy.
Beverely Hills, LA
What we got: A darker sandy base with bleached ends to brighten up our color—and our pale skin tone.
Bottom line: It was the most flattering (and believable) blonde we've ever had: Our skin looked so healthy that friends asked if we got a spray tan.
Hairstylist Adam Campbell
Rossano Ferretti Hairspa
345 N. Canon Dr.
What we got: A nearly blunt bob that was a smidge shorter in the back to create a flattering shape from all angles.
Bottom line: Our new crop looks sexy when we blow it out; when we air-dry, we get pretty, relaxed waves.
Hairstylist Sunnie Brook Jones
Ramirez Tran Salon
8912 W. Olympic Blvd.
Beverly Hills
What we got: Blunt ends and swingy, face-framing layers.
Bottom line: It's no surprise celebrities (including Lana Del Rey) love Jones—she's a long-hair wizard. Our heavy hair now floats effortlessly, and without looking any shorter.

Great to see a forum dedicated to Nodal Ninja users, well done.
I've had my NN3 Mk1 for a while now and am loving it, thought I'd share some panoramas.
This one was taken around the Manukau Harbour looking west toward the heads.
I took it shortly after getting the NN3 late last year, comprises 8 shots stitched using Photoshop CS3.
I had it printed and mounted as a christmas present for my wife. printed size 1700mm x 500mm
This is more recent and a work in progress..... taken at Karekare beach, west of Auckland

I solved one problem only to get a follow-up problem.
I have Win 7 and I tried loading 32-bit Ubuntu 11 on the system. It kept failing. I figured out due to another post here that it was because my 3TB drive was too much for it. After repartitioning the HD my friend and I managed to load it onto the system, but it was buggy when it came to updates, so I tried upgrading to Ubuntu 12 (32 bit), but I was still having the too many bits problem.
Plus now it seems like something is wrong with loading anything. Both Win 7 and Ubuntu are there, but neither will load. I get a mostly blank screen with the words:
**error: no such device: 3a0d062c-5f69-4635-9c79-3814c7d5bbed
grub rescue>**
(with what appears to be a command prompt)
I loaded U12, 64 bit version, in the hopes it would repair the boot issue. Everything appeared to install much more smoothly this time and update nicely, but there was no luck in the boot department. Again, all the data is there, but I'm still getting the black screen when I boot up. I've also tried the repair function in Win 7 with the install disk and no love. I can run from a liveCD, but that's still not getting me Win 7 or an installed version of Ubuntu.
I have confirmed both OS are there. Whatever prompts them to actually start seems to be the missing element.
Thank you in advance.
I've tried the terminal commands mentioned below. I get to the third command and:
ubuntu@ubuntu:~$ sudo mount /dev/sdb3 /mnt ubuntu@ubuntu:~$ sudo mount ~bind/ dev/mnt/dev mount: mount point dev/mnt/dev does not exist
ubuntu@ubuntu:~$ sudo mount /dev/sdb3 /mnt mount: /dev/sdb3 already mounted or /mnt busy mount: according to mtab, /dev/sdb3 is already mounted on /mnt
ubuntu@ubuntu:~$ sudo mount ~bind dev /mnt/sdb3 Usage: mount -V : print version
ubuntu@ubuntu:~$ sudo mount --bind/proc/mnt/sdb3 mount: unrecognized option '--bind/proc/mnt/sdb3' Usage: mount -V : print version
ubuntu@ubuntu:~$ sudo mount --bind/proc /mnt/proc mount: unrecognized option '--bind/proc' Usage: mount -V : print version

|Slept near the pass the night before, then scrambled up for some nice views of the Little Lakes area. I descended one of the scree gullies leading up to the summit from Mosquito Flat.

Date Climbed: Jul 25, 2014
|Followed use trail from Mono Pass & scrambled through the rocks to the ridge. I think I tagged each high point, thinking it was the summit. Didn't find a register on any of them, but I was in a bit of a hurry and didn't look for long. Followed fun sandy chute down the east face for about 1/2 the elevation, then picked my way through the band of rocky cliffs using short chimneys and chutes. Fun day.

Date Climbed: Aug 22, 2013
|Ascended via Mono Pass and descended via the East Face. South summit has better views, a more interesting summit block and feels higher than the northern summit. The traverse between the two is class 2/3 and worth doing. Fun outing.

|From Mono Pass
Date Climbed: Aug 4, 2013
|Underrated summit in the shadow of giants like Morgan, Abbot, Mills etc. Easy trail to Mono Pass, not so easy slog up the increasingly steep and loose west face. Summit ridge is class 3. Maps and GPS all showing highpoint on north summit, but it's actually on south pinnacle (higher by about 5ft - recorded by GPS in stable weather). Superb views of LLV, Pioneer Basin and all the way to Ritter & Banner. Could even see Lyell peeking between them. Outran a mule train and smoke from the Aspen Fire on the way back.

|Having never been to Mono Pass or on Starr, why not take a quick trip and check out snow conditions. Yes, lots of fresh snow up there! Made south summit just as winds picked up and it began to snow. Class 3 boulders covered in a few inches of snow was just not COOL man!
|Posted May 10, 2013 10:12 pm
|Mono Pass a special sight
Date Climbed: Aug 15, 2011
|Ambret went 40' higher and claimed success, so I guess I can't, but it sure felt like I was at the top of the mountain. Starr's a nice climb but what made this day special was the sight of pack trains wending their way through the snow, the windswept barren terrain and deep blue lake at Mono Pass, which gave the scene the feel of the Old West.

|Summited Starr with friends Brian and Bruce. Beautiful walk up the Little Lakes Valley and past Ruby Lake. Mono Pass still had snow, but it was possible to stay on sand and rock most of the way up. Some fun rock scrambling toward the top of the mountain. Fantastic views from the summit. A very enjoyable hike.

|East Gullies/North Face
Date Climbed: Apr 24, 2011
|From the pack station toured out the road until below the second gully from the north. High winds and icy conditions made a trip to the summit and a ski descent of the gullies unappealing. The north face had picked up all the windblown powder however, making for a superb descent directly back to the car.

|Summit Confusion
Date Climbed: Sep 4, 2010
|Nice warmup hike before doing Morgan. Spent too much time going back and forth between the E/W summits twice trying to decide which one was higher and searching in vain for a register.
Ascended south summit from Mono pass first - would have been much easier to go halfway down to Summit lake and up the chute next to the North (true) summit.
Great views of Morgan, BCS, Abbot, Red&White, Red Slate, Pioneer Basin, and Little Lakes Valley.

The EIA's monthly forecast is broadly in line with domestic projections. Summer energy demand recently peaked, and it will likely fall off over the next few months, barring unforeseen contingencies. The government has announced plans for $1 trillion in infrastructure investments over the next five years.
By RAKESH SHARMA
NEW DELHI -- Indias oil product demand will
slow in the second half of the year due to increased global
economic turmoil, though it will rebound in 2013 thanks to 7%
projected economic growth, the
International Energy Agency said Friday.
The EIA's monthly forecast is broadly in line with domestic
projections. Summer energy demand
recently peaked, and it will likely fall off over the next few
months, barring unforeseen contingencies.
The government has announced plans for $1 trillion in
infrastructure investments over the next five years as it
builds roads, railways, airports and power plants.
Indias oil ministry has forecast demand for oil
products in the financial year that began April 1 to rise 6.1%
to 157.07 million metric tons, the fastest pace in the past
four years, helped by government spending on the country's
woefully inadequate infrastructure.
India has an installed refining capacity of 4.26 million
bpd and is a net exporter of oil products, relying on imports
to meet about four-fifth of its crude-oil needs.
In its monthly report, the IEA said Indias demand for
oil products was at 3.8 million bpd in June up 7.2% compared
with a year earlier, a sharp acceleration compared with average
growth of less than 3% in the previous six months.
Diesel consumption jumped by 14% on year in June, at 1.5
million bpd, as farmers increased their reliance on water pumps
to irrigate their crops due to reduced monsoon rainfall and
city dwellers used increased power to operate air conditioning
to beat the summer heat.
Coal and natural gas shortages have hurt power generation in
the country, leading to frequent blackouts and forcing
household and industrial consumers to rely on diesel-powered
The IEA said July's electricity blackouts - especially the
collapse of three grids that affected hundreds of millions in
northern India - will likely provide further
short-term support for diesel demand as a major stop-gap power

The new enormous refinery needs to get the shipping companies to store their output in different locations around the globe.This will do more to lower the price of fuel for China,the US,South America,Europe.It may be the best way for India to improve its balance of payments and shore up the rupee.

Engineers and designers are highly skilled individuals. Forcing them to enter design changes using tables, forms and spreadsheets is unproductive and uneconomical, and it increases the likelihood of human error—this is the way that most instrumentation software systems currently work. For too long, software vendors have denied engineers and designers the simple practicality of a graphical visual engineering interface with "drag and drop" capability and inbuilt intelligence, ensuring changes are automatically replicated into all the associated data and databases.

This is slightly related to question The unprecedented success of the "intersection" operator .
Apart from a set of maths books of null measure, most have the following property:
Objects definitions are presented as a conjunction of properties.
Most axiomatic are also clearly conjunctive in their presentation.
It is uncommon to have say "By definition a Zorglub is a red zorg or a white zorg".
Q1 : Do you agree with the bias (if not, give enough examples)?.
Q2: Is this bias mainly a discourse convention or does it lie deeper (where?) ?

Our attention to proportion makes it easier.
We're known and appreciated for taking the extra time to specifically proportion our dresses, so a size six fits as glamorously as a sixteen. Here are a few things to keep in mind when getting fitted or altering your dress.
We recommend your measurements be taken by a professional seamstress or your authorized Watters retailer for an accurate fit. Be sure your measurements are taken over undergarments for a more precise measurement.
Please do not give bra or jean sizes. If you have a large cup size or broad back, the size of the garment must be adjusted accordingly.
Your authorized retailer can help you determine the size that's right for you. The style of the gown will often determine size, as different silhouettes fit various body types. If your measurements fall between two sizes, the largest measurements should be considered first. Your bridal specialist will also help you determine which measurements would be easiest to alter.
Remember, it's usually easier to take a dress in than to let it out. And while it's always nice to think positive, try not to overestimate the results of a diet program.
We offer different hem lengths on select styles such as knee, cocktail and floor length. We also offer extra length on select styles. Please check with your bridal specialist for individual style hem lengths and possible additional charges.

lol @ one size fits most.
This reminds me of yoga pants
ahh I love a woman in yoga pants
The code no longer works :(
code worked for me
Nice deal. My wife got some leggings like this last month and loves how warm they are, so I'm buying her a second pair. Oh, and the code still works. :)
code didn't work for me either.
worked for me
Code worked fine for me, but they did charge .47 cents for tax, so my final bill was $5.46.
Worked for me. $4.99 shipped.
Code worked for me too. Ordered to for my mom. It was $11.98 total.
Nice stocking stuffer.
The code works if you use the Woot link. If you click on the picture on the website, it does not. The one on the website asks for a size - regular or queen, whereas the Woot link you don't specify. Makes me wonder if they are the same one.
This time I made an account first and it worked. Thanks
one for the wife and sister-in-law, can't hurt
Purchased. Code worked.
Hey, why not? Bought one pair for the GF and some gloves, $11 shipped.
code worked for me - paid as"guest".
Awesome! In for one. It'll be nice to have a new set of leggings around.
Code worked. Thanks
Worked for me. Thanks!
I am 5'9 inches about 150 lbs and these fit great (ankle length) with stretch to spare. i bought them to wear as a base layer under my scrubs cuz I freeze at night at work. They feel awesome.I am just hoping they won't shrink too bad.

9 Inventions that Prove Leonardo da Vinci Was a Supervillain
Sure, Leonardo da Vinci created some great art or whatever, and some cool inventions that make life easier. We also found out he was a weapons developer and he designed some badass military devices.
Then we took a closer look at those designs and realized Leonardo's a lot less artist and a whole lot more Darth Vader.
#9. Underwater Warfare
"And if it should happen that the engagement was at sea, I have plans for constructing many engines most suitable either for attack or defense, and ships which can resist the fire of all the heaviest cannon, and powder and smoke."
- Leonardo da Vinci
Leonardo's Design:
Yeah, right there is everything you need to know about how Leonardo da Vinci approached military design. That's a fucking ancient submarine holding a gigantic cartoon knife. And Leonardo is known for the freaking Mona Lisa? Look at that thing!
But what good is a submersible ship-cleaver without a SEAL team to rig charges?
That's right. Leonardo designed his own SEAL team.
Why it Would Have Worked:
The Crusades turned city-states like Venice and Genoa into superpowers thanks to the usefulness of their mighty navies. If anybody was going to stand a chance against these two powers, they needed men like Leonardo to sink their fleets swiftly and silently. Underwater warfare would have turned every drop of water in the Mediterranean into a war zone that no ship would be safe in unless they had pledged allegiance to your kingdom. Your fleet would have been as feared as Poseidon himself.
Seriously, could this possibly be any more pimp?
As for the scuba gear, it was specifically designed for "sneak attacks on enemy ships from underwater." Just the loss of a few enemy ships while in dock would have been enough for every navy on the planet to fear you.
Like this, only with more explosions.
The gear itself was incredibly complex and even included a pouch for the SEALs to piss in. The plus-side: Much like modern SEAL units, urine keeps you warm in cold waters. The downside: None. The competition: None. The possibilities: Endless. With Venice stormed by your SEAL team and Genoa scared into submission, you would be the undisputed ruler of the Mediterranean.
#8. A Robot Army
"Whoever wishes to foresee the future must consult the past, for human events ever resemble those of preceding times. This arises from the fact that they are produced by men who have been, and ever will be, animated by the same passions and thus they must necessarily have the same results."
- Niccolo Machiavelli, The Discourses
As Cracked has examined earlier, many "modern" technologies are actually way older than you might think. Take the robot: invented by the forever badass Hero of Alexandria, and perfected as a killing-machine by Leonardo da Vinci during humanity's rendezvous with antiquity.
Leonardo's Design:
A decoy worthy of Total Recall... until it's set for "murder death kill."
Pictured: "murder death kill."
Why it Would Have Worked:
Italy's armies were as shitty in the Renaissance as they were during World War II, and nobody knew this better than Niccolo Machiavelli of the Florentine militia. Throughout his classics texts The Discourses and The Prince, he cites countless examples about how a New Roman Empire was thwarted due to self-inflicted gunshot wounds to the foot. Italy's problems were twofold: one, a unified Italy still didn't exist, and two, Italy's dukes and princes outsourced too much of their military to Swiss mercenaries. Not only was this an enormous drain to so many kingdoms' economies, but many mercenaries happened to double-cross their employers for an even larger profit by skipping town. In short, Italy needed a local army built from the ground-up on reliability.
Veni, vidi, Vinci.
Leonardo's robots may have been a far cry from later Skynet models, but Jesus Christ... did he have his mind in the right place. It seems that Leonardo was able to effortlessly combine the profound workings of the human body with his prolific mechanical genius. Not only could this have been used to create some of the most intricate (and deadly) machines on the planet, but Leonardo would have known exactly what parts of the body he wanted them to attack.
The science behind the "Pull it out!" scene.
But even if Leonardo's robots were simply used as decoys (like the Mongols), practice shows that it would have been a better investment than the mercenaries Niccolo Machiavelli warned Italians not to trust. With Italy's enormous wealth and mutually-shared danger, men like Machiavelli might have found the droids they were looking for in the pages of Leonardo's notebooks.
#7. The Cluster Bomb
"I also have plans for making a cannon, very convenient and easy of transport, with which to hurl small stones in the manner almost of hail, causing great terror to the enemy from their smoke, and great loss and confusion."
- Leonardo da Vinci
"Cluster bombs can kill a whole ton of shit at once."
-Anyone who's ever seen a cluster bomb in action.
Leonardo's Design:
He named the guns "Great Vengeance" and "Furious Anger."
Why it Would Have Worked:
The Hundred Years' War saw the return of huge armies of infantry onto European battlefields for the first time since antiquity. Since the largest of these were found in Spain, France, and the Holy Roman Empire (due to their population), the divided city-states of Italy simply could not shore up the numbers for defense.
One man can only do so much.
With such lopsided odds working against the Italians, more practical weapons than syphilis were needed to cripple their enemies. What was needed was a device that could annihilate entire armies before they even came close to the front lines, and Leonardo's cluster bombs had the range and splash damage to accomplish just that. As long as you provided your bombard crew with enough of Leonardo's ammo, you could dictate the fate of entire armies like the Gods of Olympus.
How Leonardo da Vinci would have taken Helm's Deep.
#6. The Evil Lair
"When a place is besieged I know how to cut off water from the trenches, and how to construct an infinite number of bridges, battering rams, scaling ladders, and other instruments which have to do with the same enterprise... I have plans for destroying every fortress or other stronghold unless it has been founded upon rock."
- Leonardo da Vinci
Among Sun Tzu's many observations in The Art of War, there is "invincibility lies in the defense, and the possibility of victory in the attack." While as timeless as a tall glass of Ecto Cooler with vodka (we call it a 'Ghostbuster'), Leonardo put an interesting twist on it by removing the whole "possibility of victory" for the attacker part. When he designed a fortress, he had invincibility in mind.
Leonardo's design:
All it needs is a weather machine, and some dragons.
Why it Would Have Worked:
Since Leonardo was born one year before Sultan Mehmed II captured Constantinople in 1453, he spent most of his life living through one big "shit just got real" moment in Renaissance warfare. Mehmed's cannons were big enough to besiege a city from over one mile away, and the loss of Constantinople--considered the last, living relic of Rome--made every kingdom in Christian Europe reach for their rosaries. The threat of the Muslims was back.
Since Turkish cannons had just made medieval castles obsolete, engineers like Leonardo were employed to soup up defenses. The fortress he envisioned in his Codex Atlanticus was strong enough to withstand any weapon from the period: artillery, siege-ladders and whatever black magic the local White Wizard might conjure.
Ditto for Saruman's Uruk-hai.
In short, you had a fortress that was more reliable and forward-thinking than anything offered by Ford, scary as hell against any backdrop and so impenetrable that Leonardo himself could not capture it if he wanted to... which is why he included a secret passage into the beast. You know, just in case. Also, because every evil lair has a secret passage.
#5. The Super-Scythed Chariot
"I can supply an infinite number of different engines of attack and defense." - Leonardo da Vinci
Leonardo's Design:
The Ferrari Armageddon.
When it came to breeding warhorses for battle, Leonardo mated the ancient concept of a scythed chariot with Lord Humungus from Mad Max 2. The result was an eight-legged, two-wheeled monstrosity that would have unleashed a fucking war crime on any Renaissance battlefield. Leonardo's design came in two models: the "shin-replacement," and the "fucking lawnmower from Dead Alive".
Why it Would Have Worked:
The Italians had two priorities when it came to Renaissance warfare: winning battles, and looking good while they did it. Can you guess which of the two was given the higher priority? Hint: It involved having really large balls (and no, we're not talking about bravery).
The Renaissance equivalence of a wheelie.
While there remains no substitute for an uncut Italian stallion when it comes to leaving all the sisters at the local nunnery with their bosoms heaving (as demonstrated in Boccaccio's totally awesome Il Decameron), the age of the knight was on its way out throughout the Renaissance. While handy for picking up belladonnas like your sister, warhorses were prone to injury, made easy targets and (much like Tweek) easily spooked. By the High Renaissance, chivalry came to a horrific end at the Battle of Ravenna, and large squads of infantry armed with pikes and arquebuses had replaced them on the battlefield.
The Renaissance equivalence of a clusterfuck.
Leonardo's super-scythed chariot was the perfect solution to this dilemma. It used fear as an offensive and defensive weapon, could cut a path through entire columns of infantry, and all without sacrificing the ego of riding a big-balled animal into battle. The only downside Leonardo could bring himself to admit: they "often... wreck as much havoc on friends as on foes." However, since very few Italian kingdoms were friends with each other, this could have also been taken as "put whatever allies you don't trust as close to this monster as possible." And as for your dark knights, you'd better believe whoever drove these monstrosities would be up to their armpits in annihilation... and the heaving bosoms of Italy's finest handmaidens once the carnage was over.
The Renaissance rules.

Saudis enjoy a wide range of leisure activities. Families can relax at hundreds of parks, campsites, picnic grounds and other facilities throughout the country.
Long stretches of coast and spectacular coral reefs make water sports such as snorkeling and wind surfing easily accessible. In addition, the Kingdom has established a network of national parks and preserves so that visitors can observe protected wildlife and ecosystems.
The crown jewel of Saudi Arabia's national parks system is the 1.1 million acre Asir National Park. Visitors can hike, camp, climb hills and other outdoor activities in this cool, green paradise. The Kingdom's largest preserve is Al-Khunfah, where visitors can take in spectacular views and observe wildlife such as gazelles and oryx in their natural habitat.
In the cities, people can relax in hundreds of urban parks. Riyadh alone – which means "garden" in Arabic – has 50 public parks. The waterfront corniches of Jeddah and Dammam are also popular places for picnics, swimming, fishing and other watersports.
Camping is a popular activity among Saudis. Families pitch tents in the middle of the desert, along the coast or in one of the Kingdom's parks, and enjoy the beauty of nature. These camping trips are popular during the Eid holidays and for family reunions, especially after the rainy season when the desert blooms.
Other animals found in the Kingdom include marine life, gazelles, the ibex (a type of wild mountain goat) the bustard, and the swift saluki hound, a type of dog named for an ancient city in southern Arabia. The saluki is generally considered to be the world's oldest domesticated dog.
The famous purebred Arabian horse is one of the most popular breeds in the world, with a bloodline that dates back thousands of years. The Arabian's fine shape and extraordinary stamina and speed make it ideal for racing and breeding.
There are also many camels in Saudi Arabia. They have been used as a means of transportation for thousands of years. Today, camel racing is a popular sport.
Saudi Arabia has taken major steps to preserve its native wild and marine life and established preserves both on land and in the ocean off the Saudi coast.

I like a very much. Ebook prices are too damn high!
5 Answers answer
Now this is good news.
Happy dance.
Ebooks prices ARE too damn high. Ebooks are more like digitial video and less like music: they are DRMed to high heaven. The publishers want to charge nearly as much (like 14.95 instead of 16.95) for an ebook as they do for a hardbound book. This despite the fact that the costs of production, distibution, inventory and delivery are nearly zero for the ebook. And there are no returns on an ebook. The user also uses the right of first sale with an ebook: you can't sell, loan, or give away your ebook, all of which you can do with a physical copy. The ebook costs far less to create and distribute, and is worth less to the consumer than its physical conterpart. It should cost less.
@wilfbrim: "the right of first sale..."
Yeah totally. That's probably the biggest reason I don't like to buy many ebooks.
And I went straight to Amazon to check the price of the Hunger Games series. And then I realized it was written by a Collins, not published by one.
Please don't forget the author who gets paid a teeny little royalty, smaller the lower the price is, and the cover artist who makes it attractive and the IT folks who make the site work so you can read reviews, samples, and 'also reads' and buy it safely online. There are some costs to format the book if you like the paragraphs to follow logically and the type to be the same on the pages.

Thank you in advance
Then, an unnamed individual who has enough rep and has been around long enough to understand the rules responds to this with the following answer:
Honestly, this is not a great question and is going to attract a lot of negative attention and is probably going to be closed. This is not a site about doing homework for you.
After giving this (accurate) lecture to the OP, he then proceeds to actually answer the question, promoting this bad behavior. I see this ALL THE TIME, especially in the flash-related tags. Now we can speculate all day about the reasons for this, but my guess is just to grab rep, because these people usually do get upvoted quite a bit in these situations. Regardless, this promotes bad behavior which junks up the site and makes the moderators hate me for endlessly nagging them with flags on all this stuff. :)
The point of my question here is not to nag or rant, it's actually to propose a feature that will help prevent this.

As it currently stands, this question is not a good fit for our Q&A format. We expect answers to be supported by facts, references, or expertise, but this question will likely solicit debate, arguments, polling, or extended discussion. If you feel that this question can be improved and possibly reopened, visit the help center for guidance.If this question can be reworded to fit the rules in the help center, please edit the question.
Not only is the answer subjective - the "Best" will be different for each rider based on things such as budget, rider weight and fitness and skills, riders tolerance for bumps, riding style (speed, need for control etc), riding terrain, location, brand whoring, day of week, and possibly religion.
However based on you questions criteria, If you must have an answer, I have to go with @GordonM
Edit : ........ Note: This question addresses the original post, which has subsequently been edited.
Legs & Hands
These are by far the BEST suspension you can have in any ride.
Thats it!!! Best suspension is now with you, the one which you can fully customize and control.
I am not saying suspension is not needed.
Having ridden no-suspension, front-suspension and full-suspension bikes I can definitely say that suspension is definitely a very effective addition to your bike, but there cannot ever be a best suspension on any ride I think.
A good suspension with good technology will perform better, but if you know how to use it properly.
My suggestion would be don't buy a full suspension at first (it will give far too much comfort with no skill). A good bike with lockable front suspension should be good enough to start. Learn to use you legs on bumps, and pits, then try locking your front suspension and learn to use your hands as suspension.

This is a list of terms that are related to towing and hitches. We have created
sections based on the part of your towing configuration that the term relates to.
Also be sure to check our towing tips or call 1-800-BE4-U-TOW if you need further assistance.
Find the right hitch for your vehicle, purchase it and schedule installation online.
A trailer hitch is a device which attaches directly to a tow
vehicle providing the connection between the tow vehicle and the trailer. Hitch
installations are most often considered permanent. A fixed
tongue hitch includes a flat non-removable drawbar,
while a receiver style hitch has a receptacle
(typically 1-1/4" or 2") for inserting special ball mounts
or bike racks.
Also see: custom hitch,
fixed tongue hitch, permanent undercar hitch,
receiver style hitch, and round tube hitch.
This is the maximum weight you can tow with your
configuration. A hitch system is only as strong as its lowest-rated component. Compare
the maximum tow weight ratings of your hitch, ball mount
and hitch ball. Your hitch system rating is the lowest
weight rating among those components.
For more instructions about finding your hitch system rating, watch the video to the right or read our hitch system rating tutorial.
When determining how much you can tow, it is also important to consider the maximum
tow weight of your vehicle. Check your vehicle's manual or contact the manufacturer
for this information.
After you have determined the max your vehicle can tow, you must select the proper
equipment. The two most important factors in selecting towing equipment are gross
trailer weight and tongue weight.
The tow vehicle (towing vehicle) is the vehicle that pulls a trailer or towed vehicle.
These terms apply to the trailer or anything else being towed including another

I want to do a lot of activities with my son but he seems to prefer to play computer games for most of the time. How can I prevent him from spending too much time on this activity, without making him feel uncomfortable?
You should definitely focus on providing better alternatives. Think about activities involving whole family, like playing boardgames, hiking, some sports, etc.
Also what kind of computer games does he play? Try to show him strategy games, like Starcraft, Civilization, Total War series (if he's old enough), or quality puzzle games, like World of Goo, Cogs, Crazy machines.
Restricting measures, like limiting time spent playing computer games, are OK to some extent. But these measures should be supplementary. Making them largest component of your strategy will likely result to alienation, more conflict etc.
I would take another approach, and ask what's the underlying problem that you're trying to solve? That is, why is playing video games a problem? Is it the lack of other physical activities? Is it a concern that they could be learning rather than playing? Is it a concern about the lack of socialization?
I was definitely into video games in a big way as a kid. The best alternative my parents seemed to come up with was (a) putting a limit on the time per day for certain activities (b) providing either chores or equally entertaining, enriching alternatives during leisure time, or (c) changing video games into a reward, so it doesn't feel like a restriction (e.g. "You can play your games, but only after you finish mowing the lawn). In these cases I made sure to do a quick, but thorough job of mowing the lawn in order to get the reward.
If your strategy has been simply to try to forbid it, without an alternative, I think you'll find that you'll just get a bunch of questions about "why" video games are bad, or similar lines of questioning, which lead you to a discussion that really doesn't hit the point.
One strategy is to stop buying your child computer games, at least for a while. Once he has completed the games he has, he'll be more open to doing something else, since he has exhausted the games. This is one reason to pre-select which games your child plays as some can be played 'infinitely' (e.g. Farmville) since there isn't necessarily an end.
To fill the void left by the computer games, you will need to have already found a number of new activities that are as engaging, flexible (portable, not constrained by time) and fun as the games. This is not going to be easy - computer games are hugely addictive and engaging for children, so it needs some though:
I'm afraid there's no easy answer to changing your childs' activities quickly and easily, so this is going to take some experimentation and potential upset before you find a good solution.
We limit video game time to the weekends (Fri/Sat/Sun). Even so, it was still hard to get our kids to put the controllers down/limit the hours they spent on those days.
I recently instituted a system of rewards so my kids can earn credits they can redeem for Wii time. They can earn one Wii buck for helping around the house during the week, complying with special requests, etc. Each Wii buck is worth 30 minutes of play and they can only earn 4 Wii bucks for each weekend day.
A nice byproduct of this is that they're starting to learn budgeting (they don't want to blow all their Wii bucks in the first 2 hours of the day), and I have a good way to incent them to do things they are reluctant to do during the week. It's a lot easier for them to understand "you only have 2 Wii bucks left" than "you've already played for an hour and forty-five minutes so you only have fifteen minutes left."
Maybe you could start by finding an activity that involves your phones gps. Try geocaching or one of the other games that requires you and your son to get outside together. ...photography maybe?
There is a similar discussion on this thread, and I think you may find the answers useful. In particular, I would reiterate the power of books. They have the power to spark the imagination as much as any video game.
Often the challenge is finding a book that is at your child's level and matches their interests. If they're not into reading, they will definitely need some help with this. You can't simply say "go read a book", nor can you just pick a random book from the children's section of the library. Forcing them to read a book in which they have no interest will be counter-productive. Alternatively, helping them find a book that sparks their imagination will give them an appreciation for reading and maybe even open them up to different kinds of books in the future.
Before I was a parent, I was an avid gamer. My oldest son is now 4, and I find his lack of interest and skill in playing video games actually rather a lot disturbing. I try to engage him in a few simple, age-appropriate two-player cooperative games (Like Bubble Bobble. Remember that? No, of course you don't. Little Big Planet is a more modern example), but after a short while he loses interest, and part of that seems to be a lack of hand-eye coordination. He's more or less starting to learn to use the PS2's joysticks, but can only manage one of "jump" or "shoot" at any given moment. Even so, this is typically how we spend Sunday mornings after breakfast. It's time spent together.
Which coincidentally, can be exactly one way of "dealing" with this "problem"; Gaming time can be family time and time with friends where socialization is taught, as well as cooperation and teamwork.
That said, as others have asked "so what exactly is the real problem here?" If the answer is "he gets none of his homework or chores done", then the real problem is motivation. You've already found the means to motivate him, now it's just a matter of using that motivation to get work done. This should be the line of reasoning every time you find yourself saying "All he ever cares about is X". Would you be upset if he was spending "too much" time doing math problems? Or if he was constantly obsessed with the bond market?
Video games might seem useless to you, but my obsession with gaming and computers turned into a career as a Systems Administrator for an ISP.
The simplest way to stop your child from playing computer games is take the computer away from them.
Now this does not eliminate your responsibility to your child to help them find things to do while they are young. My daughter only spends a couple of hours a week on the computer. The rest of the time is spend with the family. We do things together, go to the park, read; things like that.
I dont think kids under the age of 10 should have a computer in their room. My children are young so that may change as they grow older.
Get a good parental control software, or a Mac, where those things are built in. You can specify "max hours of usage" on a school day, or weekend, and also bound those hours in a time window (e.g. 9am - 7pm).
This is a good way to limit the usage without having to "work" as a hall monitor. Your kids should not have administrative access to their computers. You should have that privilege.
If you have a router for your home network, then you can most likely set the access restrictions for each computer in the house. Without the internet, most teenages have no interest in the computer.
Example: Each computer has a unique MAC address. With the Linksys WRT54G router, you can set what hours each computer in the household has access to the internet
