The stupid ass rims that get yo ass busted fo drugs. Bitch, dey wuddunt mine.

very expensive/beautiful wheels that have an extra disc mounted on bearings around the rim that give the appearence of the tires spinning faster (when moving) and the tires still moving (when stopped)
check out that escalade with those spreewells!
by random hero February 19, 2003
A "spreewell" is a generic term for any rim that has a part that keeps spinning when the tires stop. However, TRUE "spreewells" come a the shop that Latrell Spreewell owns, and they run about $10,000. The "spreewells" that come from a kit are not real "spreewells."
Any regular "Joe" on the street does not have genuine "Spreewells"; they simply have a "spinner kit." So in all honesty I can't begin to give you an example, because NOBODY out here has them.

A federal grand jury has formally indicted cooper on charges of embezzlement and money laundering.
The 49-year-old Cooper served as Bowling Green city treasurer from 1980 until 2001. He was the city's chief financial officer from 2002 until 2005.
The indictment charges that Cooper stole approximately $450,000 of that money each year since then and had already stolen nearly $115,000 prior to his arrest in mid-march.
Cooper is also charged with transferring $45,000 of money he had stolen from the city from one bank account to another in May of 2004.
The last count alleges that cooper shall forfeit the contents of two U.S. bank accounts, three insurance policies, two homes in Bowling Green, and $2.5 million in cash.
Because Bowling Green receives federal money from the U.S. Department of Housing and Urban Development...it is considered a federal crime.
Cooper's attorney says a plea agreement is likely and a sale of his assets is scheduled for June 18. Cooper is scheduled for arraignment May 18 before the U.S. magistrate judge in Bowling Green.

Who knows fifty?

Upvote all interesting answers.
Accept the best answer.
Go on to the next number.
Who knows fifty?
Please cite/link your sources, if possible. At some point in the next few days, I will:
Fifty are the cubits' width of the Heichal/Ohel Moed portion of the Mishkan.
If you go to Shiloh, they have what they very strongly believe to be the remainder of the stone wall that supported the Mishkan there (instead of the wooden beams used in the desert). I measured the width, heel-to-toe, and got almost exactly 75 feet, which would fit with the definition of the cubit as 18 inches.
Fifty are the letters on the Cohen's stones.
(It fits the original song rhythm. The shoulder-stones on the Ephod each had 25 letters.)
Fifty shekels (worth about $460, given today's silver prices) is the erech ("endowment value") assigned to a male during his main working years. R' Hirsch explains:
50 = ((3 = family role) + (2 = communal role)) x (10 = completion)
50 are the cubits of Haman's gallows (Esther 5:14).
50 is the retirement age for Leviim (Numbers 8:25).
50 are the shaarei binah - the levels of comprehension of G-dliness.
Moshe was granted 49 of these during his lifetime (Rosh Hashanah 21b), and at his death he was granted the 50th - the ultimate level of closeness to Hashem. This is hinted at by the name of the place of his passing, Mount Nevo, which parses out to נ' בו - "there are 50 in him." (Arizal to Deut. 3:26)
Shavuos is 50 days after Pesach begins. (Vayikra 23:16)
50 is the price in Shekels that David payed for Aravna's threshing floor. (II Samuel 24:24)
רַבִּי יוֹסֵי הַגְּלִילִי אוֹמֵר: מִנַּיִן אַתָּה אוֹמֵר שֶׁלָּקוּ הַמִּצְרִים בְּמִצְרַיִם עֶשֶׂר מַכּוֹת וְעַל הַיָּם לָקוּ חֲמִשִּׁים מַכּוֹת?
The Teivah was 50 cubits wide. (Bereishis 6:15)
A Purim Torah - Where does Noach come into the Megillah? Haman went to look for a tree that's 50 amos high... he searched and searched until he came to Noach's Teivah

Samsung bought mSpot to drive its subscription-based Music Hub app for smartphones, but the resulting app is a little off-key.
Samsung has announced that it has acquired mobile cloud content-service provider mSpot. This means that users will soon be able to access their music and videos stored in the cloud via a pre-installed mSpot app on newly announced Samsung mobile devices.
The global electronics company buys the mobile cloud-media provider in a bid to boost the music, video, and radio-entertainment offerings on its smartphones and tablets.
Mobile and PC movie service mSpot says customers can pay between $4.99 and $15.99 per month to get discounts on rentals.
US company mSpot is launching its music service in Europe this month. It lets you store 2GB of music in the cloud and then access it from Web-connected devices.
The cloud-based service, which lets you stream music to your Android phone, now charges $3.99 a month for up to 40GB of storage and adds voice recognition.
A panel of judges from CNET puts two "digital music locker" services to a head-to-head test. In one corner is the grizzled veteran, MP3tunes. The challenger is newcomer mSpot. Watch the two services go toe-to-toe in five rounds, and see who comes out on top in this subjective battle.
It's a battle between first-time-contender music-streaming services. Which service will be music to our ears? We'll find out in the Prizefight ring.
Surprisingly, music cloud service mSpot elected to go for Android support first with its public app launch.
MSpot's new service gives users 2GB of free online storage to stream music to computers and Android phones. We give it a spin to see how well it works.

I am writing a query to retrieve instances of a custom post type I created called "Specialist". In the query I specify a name and more than one taxonomy.
I want to retrieve just those
specialist which respect both parameters.
If I run the two queries separately, the correct specialists are returned but when I integrate the two in one single query, it seems that the
post_name takes the priority on the taxonomy.
For example, if I run the query asking for a
specialist named
test with taxonomy
therapist, I have back the
specialist called
test even if it does not have a
therapist taxonomy.
Here is the code:
$args = array(
'name' => 'test',
'tax_query' => array(
'taxonomy' => 'type',
'field' => 'slug',
'terms' => 'therapist'
$specialists = new WP_Query($args);

If a large sell order hits many bids from the book, is the order filled at once? Or is it filled one bid at a time with a chance for any new orders to come in between each trade?
Most exchanges will cross a large order with numerous smaller orders so long as the large order sufficiently crosses the book to cause a fill. This is obviously dependent on specific instructions on the large order causing the cross as well as the orders on the other side of the book.
As for the second part a new order coming in should only cross with the large order if it offers price improvement over other orders in the book as they will have time priority. A single large order will sweep the other side of the book to fill and this typically happens in a single atomic step although I don't believe that there is any requirement to do so.
This is all exchange dependent. Check out Trading and Exchanges or Algorithmic Trading and DMA as both these books cover crossing mechanics in considerable detail.
It depends if the large incoming sell order is a market order or a limit order.
If it is a market order, it will immediately "sweep" through as many levels of the bid book as neccessary to get the required volume. There is no chance for someone to add more bids to execute against the market order.
A limit order will execute against all the bid volume that it can without selling below the limit price. Then the remaining volume will go resting in the book, at which point there is a chance for new buyers to come in and execute against it.
Here is a good mental model. The exchange's matching engine processes incoming orders one at a time: all effects of an order on the book are settled before any further incoming orders for the same instrument are looked at.
So, when a marketable order comes in, it is matched against resting orders "atomically", producing one or more fills. If this completely fills the incoming order, that's it. If some part of the order could not be matched, the remainder is either placed on the book or cancelled (or in some cases routed to a different exchange). Any subsequent incoming orders wait their turn until all of this is done.
With many modern matching engines all of this happens very quickly: for example, BATS claim an average order matching latency of 200 microseconds. I understand this even includes a network roundtrip.

What is the significance of the veil in the Harry Potter series? What does it mean? Why is it never explained?
When asked, JK Rowling responded saying: It's been there as long as the Ministry itself.
As stated on the Veil page on the Harry Potter Wikia:
The veil is located deep within the Department of Mysteries, which contains many of mysteries of the wizarding world. I believe the significance of it is greater than the mystery it represents. As J.K. Rowling has said, "It's been there as long as the Ministry itself."
This artifact presents something historically significant, although it is impossible to say how. In the fifth movie and book, it is significant because Bellatrix shot a spell at Sirius and sent him through the veil, never to be seen again. In the movie, he was dead before he entered the veil, having taken an Avada Kedavra curse. In the book, the spell Bellatrix used may not have been the Killing Curse and so the veil may have been Sirius' cause of death, rather than a method of body disposal.

Align IT Tour 2011: Development Managers: Session 2 of 3: Delivering High Quality Software through Agile
- Posted: Apr 12, 2011 at 7:49PM

Right click "Save as…"
Enabling business innovation through collaborative software development
Do you oversee teams of developers, architects or testers? Interested in developing for the cloud? Then join me,
Jonathan Rozenblit, and my fellow Developer Evangelists, Christian Beauclair and John Bristowe, as we host this series of Development-oriented sessions. We'll use real-world examples to demonstrate how you can minimize the time, cost, and risk of developing custom software applications.
Delivering high quality software is a risky undertaking. Development and Quality Assurance Managers are in a tight partnership over the war against software bugs. Software quality issues not only delay the time to market for a solution while increasing costs, but they also delay the subsequent benefits to the business. In a business world of increasing focus on compliance and control, Development and QA Managers must balance the need for agility against the reality of quality control. High quality software is the outcome of applying the combination of sound methodologies, best practices and supportive tooling.
This session will outline how to deliver high quality software through Agile and will demonstrate how to apply its practices to your projects and having them supported through tools like Visual Studio and Team Foundation Server.

About the Show
"The Cape" is a one-hour drama series starring David Lyons ("ER") as Vince Faraday, an honest cop on a corrupt police force, who finds himself framed for a series of murders and presumed dead. He is forced into hiding, leaving behind his wife Dana (Jennifer Ferrin, "Life on Mars") and son, Trip (Ryan Wynott, "Flash Forward"). Fueled by a desire to reunite with his family and to battle the criminal forces that have overtaken Palm City, Vince Faraday becomes "The Cape" - his son's favorite comic book superhero - and takes the law into his own hands.
Rounding out the cast are James Frain ("The Tudors") as billionaire Peter Fleming, The Cape's nemesis who moonlights as the twisted killer Chess; Keith David ("Death at a Funeral") as Max Milani, the ringleader of a circus gang of bank robbers who mentors Vince Faraday and trains him to be The Cape; Summer Glau ("Terminator: The Sarah Connor Chronicles") as Orwell, an investigative blogger who wages war on crime and corruption in Palm City; Dorian Missick ("Six Degrees") as Marty Voyt, a former police detective and friend to Faraday; Martin Klebba ("Pirates of the Caribbean") as Rollo, member and unassuming muscle of the circus gang of bank robbers; and Vinnie Jones ("Lock, Stock and Two Smoking Barrels") as Scales, resident thug and cohort of The Cape's nemesis Chess.
"The Cape" is a Universal Media Studios and BermanBraun production from Executive Producer/Creator Tom Wheeler ("Empire"), along with Executive Producers Gail Berman and Lloyd Braun (NBC's "Mercy"), John Wirth ("Terminator: The Sarah Connor Chronicles"), and Gene Stein ("Accidentally on Purpose").

Are there important or interesting (nontrivial) examples of categories where the objects and morphisms are the same structures (e.g. all sets, or all functions)?
For instance, consider the construct $\mathbf{C}$ whose objects are functions and morphisms are functions, defined by $\hom_\mathbf{C}(f, g) = \hom_\mathbf{Set}(\operatorname{dom}(f), \operatorname{dom}(g))$. The forgetful functor $U : \mathbf{C} \to \mathbf{Set}$ that maps objects to their domain and morphisms to themselves.
This is a rather trivial and uninteresting example. Are there more interesting examples in research?

Columbia, SC - Forrest Edwards won his singles match, however, the Charlotte 49ers fell on the road at #39 South Carolina, 6-1, in men's tennis action.
"We came out very flat in doubles action today," Charlotte coach Billy Boykin said. "We rebounded with better play in singles. We were a few points shy in a couple different singles matches and that was the difference. They outplayed on the big points."
South Carolina won all three doubles matches to claim the doubles point. At number one doubles, Charlotte's Jack Williams and Jordi Massalle Ferrer lost to South Carolina's Chip Cox and Tsvetan Mihov, 7-5. At number two doubles, Charlotte's Alex Calott and Forrest Edwards lost to South Carolina's Kyle Koch and Harry Menzies, 8-3.

I will be going above 15000 feet (4500 meters) on a trip next month, and I've heard people will often get altitude sickness. Is there anything I can do beforehand to prevent sickness or take while I'm there that will help me.
Are you going to be hiking that high, or in a car for a small bit? Going to 15,000 feet without ever having broken 10,000 feet sounds a bit haphazard, especially if you're unsure of the dangers/how to deal with them.
There are several things you can do to help yourself out before your trip.
First, acclimate. Don't just run up to 15,000 feet. Try to spend time at 8,000 feet, 9,000 feet, 10,000 feet and so forth. Additionally, climb high, sleep low always applies. If you're not feeling well, descend, it's the only way you're going to feel better.
From a chemical perspective, diamox can be prescribed by your doctor to help with acclimatization. I've used it above 13,000 feet and it's greatly helped.
Stay hydrated, you rapidly lose hydration at altitude. Tea is your friend, so bring a good amount of it.
Last time I was at 18,000 feet, we chewed ginger root and it helped to some degree.
The best thing you can do is acclimatize. This means you should adjust your body gradually to the height. This can be done, for example, by increasing the height you're staying at from day to day. Another very important fact that is widely used by mountaineers is that you should always sleeps some meters below the highest point of the day. So for example, you reach the height of 4000 meters, where you plan to spend the night. Before going to sleep you should if possible gain another 200 - 300 meters, spend some time there, then go down and sleep at 4000 meters.
A lot of mountaineers also use Acetazolamid (Diamox), which can be taken as a preventative. But its use is discussed controversially because it has a lot of side effects.
Additionally to that you should drink a lot, but no alcohol, and you should also take care of your nutrition. It is very important that you force yourself to not use a lot of power. (This is particularly important when climbing a high mountain. You have to force yourself to walk slowly enough). If you feel slight symptoms it isn't necessary to do anything, but if it gets worse you should go down to lower altitudes as soon as possible. If it is really bad, you should immediately seek medical help, because it can kill you.
Here is a reliable medical source of the causes, symptoms and advised medical responses for altitude sickness of varying degrees. Cleveland Clinic - Altitude Sickness information

Pope in U.S. dominated religion coverage in 2008
Nothing else was close. Benedict's April visit to the U.S. took up 37 percent of the religion newshole, while religion stories from the campaign accounted for 21 percent, according to an analysis of the mainstream media in 2008 conducted by the Pew Research Center's Project for Excellence in Journalism. Other religion-related topics made low single digits at best.Tough to complain that the media ignores the pope. Whether folks liked the coverage is another thing. This graphic shows what topics related to the visit received most attention:
Interesting, I think, and perhaps goes against some popular impressions. Yes, the clergy abuse scandal was tops, far and away. But that was inevitable, and the pope's own words and actions for the first few days also drew attention. "Straightforward coverage" (how these were defined could always be debated, but I think one gets the general sense) and "Substance of message" rank well, and ahead of politics and the church.Now for the bad news:
In 2008, religion filled just 1 (lousy) percent of the entire newshole--the same asimmigration, education, and race- and gender-focused stories, according to Pew. Politics (29 percent) and the U.S. economy (13 percent) were first and second.Moreover, the graphic below shows (graphically)how little else beyond Benedict's visit--and of course the (bloody) holidays--was covered. Ouch.
Coverage of the pope is nice, but this graph shows how the rest of the church does not get covered--or much else, for that matter.

I was surprised to see a;ost no mention of cardinal George's "private " meeting with President Obama earlier this week.Of course, after such a meeting, one could only expect boilerplate from officaldom, but not even a little interest or speculation?
I wonder if the meeting had been between the Archbishop of NYC or of Washington D.C. and the President whether not it would have gotten some coverage. The media" is, I find, very New York/D.C. Centric. Also interesting is the fact that the President chose to meet with the Archbishop of Chicago. Of course, he is from there, which is possibly why he realizes Cardinal George's status in the American Church.
Ann, the Pres met with Cardinal George because George is currently head of the USCCB, so that's his natural role. As to the paucity of coverage, well, not much else is beating out AIG and the economy and such, and the meeting was so brief and so tight that there wasn't much there there. I wrote a brief on it here:http://blog.beliefnet.com/pontifications/2009/03/the-cardinal-blasts-the... as you see, here are the extent of the statements:
The White House said: "The President and Cardinal George discussed a wide range of issues, including important opportunities for the government and the Catholic Church to continue their long-standing partnership to tackle some of the nation's most pressing challenges. The President thanked Cardinal George for his leadership and for the contributions of the Catholic Church in America and around the world."The USCCB said: "The meeting was private. Cardinal George and President Obama discussed the Catholic Church in the United States and its relation to the new Administration. The meeting lasted approximately 30 minutes. At the conclusion, Cardinal George expressed his gratitude for the meeting and his hopes that it will foster fruitful dialogue for the sake of the common good."
What ever happened to the rumor that George Bush was going to convert to Catholicism? (Or that Laura was going to divorce him?)
In the States, the Pope is a celebrity, on a par with, say, Britney Spears in the public mind. As for other Catholic issues, they are merely of parochial interest.
What? Not even a blip on the graphs for Brad Pitt's casting as Father Emilio Sandoz, S.J., in "The Sparrow"?Someone should forward the Pew report to Brad's agent.
Is the graph that much different from the coverage of the Church in this blog, where the most interest seems to be in the doings of prelates: pope and bishops?
Perhaps the press can be forgiven, to the extent that the Pope and the Bishops claim to speak for the rest of us? It's true that we ought not to let that go by, though. So maybe we should try harder to claim our voices?
"Is the graph that much different from the coverage of the Church in this blog, where the most interest seems to be in the doings of prelates: pope and bishops?"Very good question...and we need a study. Grant? I agree that coverage and interest in the church does seem to focus on the hierarchy for several reasons, including the fact that that's where "news" happens. Conflict sells, it's easily understandable, it's easily covered and without a lot of resources. People like it, the media likes it. We also focus on the presidency and congress and decision-makers (or nondecisionmakers) because when they talk or act things can (or should) happen. That's even moreso in the hierarchical church, and even moreso these days when there is a lot of pent-up anger (or not so pent-up, in the blogosphere) inside and outside the church. Oh, and there are a lot of churchmen doing newsworthy things--for good and, um, not so good.The trend toward a hierarchical focus works both ways, or on both sides, I think. Avery Dulles said something to the effect that for many people today the church is either the object of or the obstacle to faith. Many blogs love to knock Humpty Dumpty down (no names, please), while others are All the King's Men, obsessed with all things clerical. I've made the observation (not always with happy results) that it strikes me odd that liberals are waiting for the next John XXIII, and conservatives are waiting for...Well, they got him. Anyway, they're both looking for the same deliverance from on high. It'd be nice if it was out of a desire for the good of the church. But it's often motivated by a desire for "our" side to win. (Then disappointment sets in, of course...!)I know there is much more interest at this blog in ad intra ecclesial topics than I perhaps expected, but I think it's natural. There is also a far wider range of topics covered here--politics, culture, silliness etc--than almost any other Catholic blog I can cite off the top of my head. (And discussed far more intelligently, ocassional exceptions notwithstanding.) The blogosphere tends to reflect a talk-radio mentality, so maybe that's part of it. And of course the gamut of hot-button topics--gays, abortion, homosexuals, abortion, lesbians and stem cells--draw the most attention, I would think. Some of those hot-button topics are often prompted by some hierarchical decision. And in that sense I think the blog may also reflect the survey's results in that while the glut of stories were in connection with the pope's trip, they weren't necessarily about the pope or the hierarchy. One could argue that the sexual abuse scandal was. But not solely. It looks like just 2-3 percent of the stories were about the pope himself, and one-quarter about U.S. Catholics, for example. That reflects both my impression of the coverage and my conversations with other jorunalists: That most outlets took the visit as an opportunity to cover American Catholicism, not just the pope. So there was a broad range of stories, about individual stories of faith, and parishes, and priests and religious and what have you. That was especially true for newspapers not in the NY-DC corridor. Given these times, few outlying places could send reporters to cover the visit so they "localized" it. In essence, in the news coverage of the pope's visit, and on the blog, a newsmaking bishop or statement can serve as a doorway to a discussion of the broader issue at stake, or of the experience of readers in their respective communities. So hierarchs are often just the entry point. They get run over by the stampedeing crowd, of course. But that's why they pay them the big money. At least that's my story. Now to bed.
On the other hand, the latest issue of what passes for a diocesan "newspaper" in my part of the world carries a regular column called "The Catholic Difference" by George Weigel (Weigle?). This week's column carries the title "How the Might Have Fallen." Is it about AIG? or Lehman Brothers? Guess again. Is it about the American episcopacy? or the Republican Party? Don't be silly. It's about A-Rod -- Alex Rodriguez and steroids. What the Catholic connection (much less the "difference") is, escapes me -- not for the first time in GW's columns. I mentioned this to our local parish priest. His response was "Who's Alex Rodriguez?" So I had to explain (he enjoys listening to Beethoven, as do I, and tho I don't know much about pop culture, I do know about A-Rod.
David: My teasing point was that while there is, as you say, much "interest at this blog in ad intra ecclesial topics," these topics seem to revolve around pope and bishops, with much less attention to broader and deeper topics or about what you called "individual stories of faith, and parishes." All the grandeur and misery of everyday Catholic life--the stuff of the Church, as living and as lived--that's what there's comparatively little of at this blog.
Teasing, yes, but I think it's an important point, or at least one that prompted many rambling thoughts in my brain cavity. Which of course I could not leave there for fear they'd get lost. The stuff of everyday Catholicism is almost literary, and perhaps not the stuff of the blog format? Does the medium curtail the message? Inquiring minds want to know...PS--Nicholas Clifford: Who's Mozart?
What recent big religion stories (possibly Obama's meeting with Cardinal George) have been missed in the "mainstream media"? Especially given that the "mainstream media" is constrained by news values that require them to cover stories that interest/affect a wide swath of readers, so stories about particular churches that don't resonate across denominational lines are often ignored. An example of what I'd consider good religious coverage/conversation: Yesterday's great segment on "Talk of the Nation" about the TV show "Big Love's" portrayal of a Mormon endowment ceremony, which used that episode to start a conversation about sensitivity to religion in art and the media. It's probably archived by now for anyone interested in listening (find it through npr.org).As you're considering the content and tone of dotCommonweal, might be worthwhile noting that it's dominated by men--only one in five of the bloggers here are women, and my sense is that the number of participants (not necessarily the number of individual posts on any given thread) on the blog seems to be heavily male. My sense is that that drives content/tone of the blog to some extent. Not knocking C'weal for that high ratio of male posters and responders; the ratio of women bloggers has increased over time, and female participation may actually be higher here than on some other Catholic blogs. Or maybe that the blogosphere is generally dominated by men. Maybe Grant has insights there. I haven't made a study of it.
Your sex and gender observations seem correct, Jean. But without going down some Larry Summers path, I wonder if the blog is self-selecting for gender as it is for ideas and everything else? So that women go to blogs dominated by women, and vice versa. An irony of the democratic global paradise of the internet is that we tend to aggregate in bantustans of our own making.
FWIW - whenever this blog raises a woman's viewpoint on topics, it almost always makes me pause and think. Most recently for me it was Barbara's passionate advocacy for the sex workers in Africa. I'd welcome more of it.
"Its about A-Rod Alex Rodriguez and steroids. What the Catholic connection (much less the difference) is, escapes me not for the first time in GWs columns. "Fixation on baseball - yet another reason for me to confuse George Weigel with George Will.Our diocesan paper carries him, too. How they choose their columnists, I have no idea. I guess they have 32 pages to fill every two weeks (or whatever it is).
I think this is related to the topic at hand... Did anyone read Nick Kristof's column yesterday about selective truth-seeking among American readers?http://www.nytimes.com/2009/03/19/opinion/19kristof.html?_r=1&emMoney quote: "One 12-nation study found Americans the least likely to discuss politics with people of different views, and this was particularly true of the well educated. High school dropouts had the most diverse group of discussion-mates, while college graduates managed to shelter themselves from uncomfortable perspectives."
To add to my post above... I spent a couple of years in my 30s working with working-class people (including a number of Asian and Latino immigrants) and will have to say there is quite a bit of truth about Kristof's reference to the 12-nation study. It's a little scary if the well-educated indeed shelter themselves from discussing politics with people of different views. (Much of what pass for "discussing" struck me more as boxing and sparring.) In some ways, the blogosphere has allowed even more of this trend, helping to diminish the already shrinking number of independents like myself.
Gibson: I wonder if the blog is self-selecting for gender as it is for ideas and everything else? So that women go to blogs dominated by women, and vice versa.Raber: I suppose I'm on here and not on some "Catholic woman's blog" to get perspectives that will balance my antipathies about Catholicism and to help me learn to live more patiently with a man who is a much more enthusiastic and orthodox Catholic than I am. More to your point about news coverage about religion is the fact that I can't get those kinds of perspectives from "mainstream media"--nor do I expect to. I can get some perspectives from Catholic publications--and do--but this forum is the only place I can throw my comments out there for scrutiny or ask questions of others.
Jean: Alas, you are sui generis Or should I call you unusual?
Whatever. I have few illusions or delusions myself; the trick is not living down to them all the time.I'm still trying to think of a major religion story that the media missed re question above. I can think of more that they mishandled, but this thread seems to be me talking to myself mostly. So off I go to bother someone else.
illusions delusions ABOUT myself, that is. Yeesh.

Disabled Field: Ext.fly is null in Internet Explorer
Ext version tested:
- Ext 4.0.7
- Ext 4.1.0-beta-1
Browser versions tested against:
The problem occurs for:
- Internet Explorer 6
- Internet Explorer 7
- Internet Explorer 8
- Internet Explorer 9 in Compatibility Mode
It doesn't appear to be a problem in other browsers.
DOCTYPE tested against:
HTML5 (doesn't appear to matter).
When using a disabled text field in a window it is possible to see the error 'Ext.fly is null' as the mouse is moved over the window.
Steps to reproduce the problem:
Using the test case below, wiggle the mouse cursor rapidly over the window. Make sure that the cursor passes over the text 'bbb' in the textfield. After a few seconds it will throw an error. Note that it only appears to happen if the cursor moves over the text, moving over the other section of the textfield does not throw an error.
Test Case:
Debugging already done:
The mouseover/mouseout events for a disabled text input occasionally go crazy. The value of srcElement is null when it should be equal to the input element. Oddly it only seems to happen if the mouse passes over the text itself.
The error 'Ext.fly is null' occurs further down the line as a result of this initial null value. In this test case the window has resize handles that are listening for mouse events. These try to use Ext.EventObject.getTarget with a selector and that blows up because the target is null.
Possible fix:
This patch appears to fix it. I based it on getRelatedTarget. There's a lot more digging to be done to confirm whether this is actually a good way to fix the problem or not. The key question that remains is why is srcElement null in the first place? Is it actually a browser bug or is it a consequence of something more subtle?
Ext.EventManager.getTarget = function(event) { event = event.browserEvent || event; var target = event.target || event.srcElement; if (!target) { if (this.mouseLeaveRe.test(event.type)) { target = event.fromElement; } else if (this.mouseEnterRe.test(event.type)) { target = event.toElement; } } return this.resolveTextNode(target); };ConsultJS: http://consultjs.com/

The Faculty Delegate Assembly at Hunter College
The Faculty Delegate Assembly's mission is to be a voice for faculty and keep faculty informed about campus-wide issues. We do this through ad hoc committees, participation on college-wide initiatives and committees as FDA representatives, and in our monthly General Assembly meetings. All faculty members are welcome to join the FDA; dues are voluntary. Each department elects two members to the FDA General Assembly which also consists of the faculty members of the Administrative Committee of the Hunter College Senate, the members of the Executive Committee of the General Faculty, and all Hunter delegates to the University Faculty Senate. General Assembly meetings are always open to the entire faculty.
The monthly General Assembly meetings feature talks by administrators, colleagues, and invited guests and are open to all faculty members. We also sponsor wine and cheese socials each semester. The agendas for FDA meetings are set by the Executive Committee which consists of elected officers who serve two year terms. Individuals interested in running for a position on the FDA Executive Committee are encouraged to contact the FDA administrative office.
Suggestions from faculty of topics for General Assembly meetings that would have wide appeal to Hunter faculty are always appreciated. Faculty may also request a meeting with any member of the FDA Executive Committee. To contact the FDA for any reason, please send an e-mail to firstname.lastname@example.com. You may also send comments through campus mail or visit the FDA Administrative Office at 1414HE.
The FDA is also charged with the supervision of two spaces at the college—the "Solarium" (room 1413HE) and the Faculty/Staff Lounge (on the 8th floor of HW) —and attends to practical issues affecting the maintenance and use of these spaces. To reserve these spaces go to the Solarium or the Faculty/Staff Lounge on the FDA website.

16 Premium Madagascar Vanilla Beans + Free Pure Organic Ground Beans for $9.99 + free shipping
Of all the things that come from the island of Madagascar, the vanilla bean is my favorite. No, wait. The lemur is my favorite. The vanilla bean is totally second, though.
28 Comments add a comment
This is a decent price for vanilla beans. Madagascar beans are the most common ones. Mexican beans are a lot more expensive. Tahitian beans, which genetically the same, taste different.
I am not familiar with this vendor. The two reviews are both five star, but both buyers don't seem to buy vanilla often.
I buy mine from saffron.com. With their cheapest shipping the price is comparable. I like buying by weight rather than count. I also buy (surprise) saffron from them.
If you haven't used vanilla beans instead of extract you should give it a try, especially in things like ice cream and custards.
I upped the deal just for the information about the seller, but if you look at the landing page on Amazon, you can get a better deal just by ordering a larger quantity.
For example: 1/4 lb. (approximately 35 beans from another one of their listings) is $15-16.
I can't resist getting 100% more product for 50% price increase...but then again, I think I have a problem.
I don't usually buy more than a few beans at a time, but given that the average grocery store will rake you over the coals for 5 bucks PER BEAN, I think I'll give this a shot.
I can't imagine that these will let me down, and the best part is after you are done scraping the black tar vanilla goodness from the insides, you stick the spent pods in your sugar jar. Over time it will infuse your sugar with vanilla! Vanilla sugar is perfect for baked goods and I keep a separate 5 lb air-tight container of it (along with mint-sugar and plain).
@madcow19: I get 20-25 a quarter pound from saffron.com, so these must be smaller beans.
I've been paying quite a bit for vanilla sugar to be shipped to me. Now I'll have a chance to make my own, as well as get the other goodies...the goo and the ground beans. I first had vanilla sugar in Mexico where it was sold in a box full of small, sugar-pack sized (what are the odds?) packets of the stuff. It was sooo good, but I've never found it since. It was from a large supermarket in Puerto Vallarta, and I've looked all over that town to find some more. Online searches haven't yielded anything. So if anyone knows about the little vanilla sugar packets, please post!
So, anyone think that this price is too good to be true? Because I'm leaning that way... But man, if it's not... great price!
It's possibly not too good to be true. I order vanilla beans at a very reasonable price, and often times get them for free, from myspicesage.com Make my own vanilla sugar to make baked goods from and it makes a huge difference. Don't know anything about this vendor though.
@craigthom: re: Saffron.com; I don't know how long their vanilla has been sitting, but here is a direct quote from their website regarding their saffron:
"Below is our most recent laboratory report (3/12/08). With each importation, we demand a lab report for that particular shipment, not one made three years ago."
Interestingly, one of their certifications is from Iran, so I am guessing they have switched suppliers a long time ago.......
This is very interesting to me - vanilla beans are a premium product and seeing them for a low cost like this makes the deal worth a shot.
Williams-Sonoma charges $10 for two Madagascar Bourbon vanilla beans (shipped free):
For some homemade vanilla ice cream (yes, I know it's winter - but ice cream is good any time!), vanilla beans are a must.
Going to give it a shot!
I got vanilla beans last year from this ebay store http://www.ebay.com/sch/vanillaproducts/m.html
They were great, used them for cooking and made homemade vanilla extract. They also sent me a pack of prime beans for free..
This is not a bad deal if you just want a few to play around with and don't want to deal with ebay.
Make your own vanilla extract.
@zippy the pinhead: You're right, the site is badly out of date. I've ordered since 2008, but it's been a while.
I found that they have a blog and a Facebook page, but neither has been updated since early 2011. I found a couple of reviews for their storefront on Yelp, but I don't think they get much weight.
I will not recommend them again until I've got better data. I will call them and ask why the site is so far out of date when I get a chance.
@erinnstreeter: wow...what a great idea...i just ordered the beans and i'm gonna try it.
thanks for posting that link!
I am just getting into beer making could I use this in a recipe?
@badcatstl: I got vanilla beans from that same ebay seller about a month ago and made vanilla extract. Looks like it was a better deal too.
I'm interested in the vanilla sugar. How do you go about making that?
@zippy the pinhead: When I purchased my vanilla from saffron.com (I got their "chef quality" beans). It was all vacuum packed and seemed fresh as best as I could tell. Certainly was fresher than most in standard grocery stores (those always look dry to me).
Given that I got ~100 beans for $30 including shipping (gets better if you can get others to go in on more volume of beans, etc). 16 for $10 seems still a little pricy. That said, if you can't split an order with friends and neighbors, 16 may be the right amount for you.
@adamcahill: Like maleficarum said above, it's as easy as sticking your spent beans in a container of sugar and waiting. (The waiting is the hard part.) But once you've started, you'll have vanilla sugar for life. Use a bean for a recipe, drop it the vanilla sugar jar. Run low on vanilla sugar, add more sugar to the container (you'll probably want to do that as you use it).
@steelwells: Well, I have to say, using Williams-Sonoma to price compare is like using the Government Contracted Rate for hardware as your starting point. Seriously. Their prices are so far above the norm as to be laughable in most cases.
For comparison I checked myspicesage.com which like another person mentioned, I also use. Their regular non-sale prices right now are $13.00 for 8 Madagascar and $7.50 for 4 Mexican beans. So a little bit more than the deal offered here but not obnoxiously so. Not to mention that about every 3-4 months they offer a special of 6 free Madagascar beans with any other order. Beans are good, moist and vacuum packed.
Heck, even a local high-end luxury spice retailer only charges 10 bucks for 4 certified organic, free-trade happy feel good new age Madagascar beans.
mom enjoys cooking with exotic things, looks like a fine stocking stuffer
After I scraped the beans, I mixed that in with sugar and let it set. Making the vanilla extract was excellent for Christmas gifts last year, unfortunately it's a little too late for gifts this year. Use a decent alcohol. Svedka is what we used. Also we got bottles from here: http://www.sunburstbottle.com/ and just printed labels from office depot and tied some ribbon around. I've heard you can make your own kahula. Have not tried that yet.
I have purchased these before through Amazon and give them a thumbs-up. I've used them in baking and in making my own extracts (w/bourbon and rum). I think it's a good deal for a quality product.
@erinnstreeter: I'm confused by the vanilla recipe...first it says to order 1lb vanilla beans but later says to use 24 vanilla beans.
This $9.99 deal is for 16 beans(2/3 of 24 which should be 2/3 of a pound). This same deal also lists 1lb of beans for $45(but doesn't list how many beans that would be).......
The numbers just don't add up, unless that recipe assumes beans that are many times the size of the ones for sale in this deal......
@jjeff: @jjeff: This is the recipe I used. This is my friend's blog, and this isn't an exact science either.
If you had 16 beans, I'd just use a fifth of alcohol of your choice. That should be plenty.
@badcatstl: I bought vanilla beans from them this year. Price is still great and they still send free beans with your order. i bought a POUND of vanilla beans for $26.95. Shipping was $5.50 and they arrived quickly. I'm making a GALLON of homemade vanilla to give as Christmas gifts this year. :)
@badcatstl: Thanks for the link, but now I'm even more confused.......
Your link says 1/5th of Vodka(no mention of using both vodka and DARK rum as in the previous recipe but your recipe says you can use "clear" rum(says to NOT use dark as listed in the previous recipe) instead of vodka) and 10 beans.
Later in the recipe it says they will be using a 1.75L bottle of vodka along with 20 beans???
I'm not familiar with a 1/5th but my guess is it's much smaller than 1/2 of 1.75L....still confused.
@jjeff: she used 20 +/- beans in her large bottle. I used closer to 25. So if you just had 15 beans the 750ml bottle of vodka would work. You don't have to use vodka. It's what I did and I know it worked and I could see the color change over time easily
@badcatstl: Thanks, don't mean to be a pain, like you said I guess it's not an exact science.
I think I'm going to go ahead and order some beans and try making some. Many years ago a work colleague brought me back a 16 oz bottle of real vanilla from Honduras(I think, I know it was in South America). Anyway it was 10x as good as the vanilla you get in the store, it was a pleasure to just smell the vanilla and tasted delicious in whipped cream!
@jjeff: not a problem, I had the advantage of someone I knew to ask when I did it. It will darken over time. I have been cooking with mine and it is fantastic and way less expensive.

According to reports, U.S. Rep Jesse Jackson Jr. is currently working with the feds to work out a deal over accusations that he misused campaign funds.
Jackson was re-elected this past Tuesday despite his long medical leave due to his battle with depression and bi-polar disorder.
Reportedly, Jackson has not pleaded guilty to any charges, however, Jackson is seeking a plea deal.
He is accused of using his campaign funds to decorate his Washington D.C. home and to purchase a $40,000 Rolex watch for a female friend.
The report also claims Jackson is currently being treated again at the Mayo Clinic.
The Jackson family has not responded to the report.
Also, Frank Watkins, a spokesman in Jackson's congressional office, refused to comment on the reported plea deal.

Installing crashes halfway through "Copying Files," showing an I/O device error error number 5.
There was problem in beginning of installation too--Ubuntu was not detecting the installed Windows 8 system.
My system is a dell Inspiron 5520 laptop, with a 1 TB WDC hard disk in GPT, with EFI.
My current partition layout is:
102 MB EFI SYSTEM partition
200 GB Windows 8 ntfs
22 GB root Ext4
8 GB swap
20 GB home Ext4
680 GB ntfs Drive for storing all my files
I tried installing both from a DVD disc and a USB drive; both resulted in the same error.
The built-in Dell hardware diagnosis utility showed both hard disk and DVD drive as healthy.
What may be the reason and how can I install ubuntu along side my Windows 8 system?

I'm going on a campout this weekend and the temperature isn't supposed to rise above 0° Fahrenheit the entire time. I've been in subzero weather before and I didn't last long, even with plenty of insulation. What can I do differently this time?
There are two important keys to keeping warm in sub-zero temperatures, keeping dry and dressing in layers.
Getting wet by any means, including sweat will make you miserably uncomfortable. It is also obviously a lot harder to get dry once you are wet in a cold environment.
As most people are aware the extremities are the hardest parts of the body to keep warm. Your feet and hands will almost always get cold especially if you are not moving them. Keep wiggling your toes and fingers in order to keep the blood circulating through your system.
Why fire is bad! .. sorta.. There is one reason why a fire can be harmful for keeping warm. If it goes out it can play a huge shock on the body (more for an emergency), but a person will be more comfortable when gradually heating / cooling. So don't sit 3 inches away from the fire, use it for a gentle warmth, not a burning
Fire Rocks and Water bottles veering away from the intense heat. These two items will slowly (water fairly quickly, but not as quick as fire) release their heat and make a person more constantly comfortable
Staying small will make you a more efficient heater, same with snuggling with another person. Armpits and Crotch (ewwww) are a good place to keep your hands warm. Just make sure they are clean ;) or you will not have many friends.
A lot of other points are already listed
As others have said, your clothing, and lots of layers is important.
Additionally, the composition of your clothes matters.
Do not wear cotton in cold weather. "Cotton kills" is a common phrase amongst cold weather-goers.
Wear exclusively wool or wicking sythetic fabrics like fleece. Cotton's insulating ability goes to nearly zero when it is wet, and it absorbs moisture, so it keeps you wet.
Wool and synthetics retains their insulating ability even when soaking wet, and they also wicks water away, to keep you dry.
I've not camped in subzero weather before but I have spent several hours working on glaciers. The things I've found really helpful have been lots of layers. Typically I would wear the following. Thermal underwear, tshirt, jumper, fleece, ski-jacket, rain-coat & trousers, sallopettes and waterproof trousers. Along with thick socks and decent boots, hat, neck warmer and gloves. I found having several pairs of gloves handy as when wet they lose their warmth.
As for sleeping I've probably camped out in sub zero - I've just never had a thermometer with me to check. I've found a good mummy bag (wrapped in a blanket if it's really cold) on an airbed enough.
Other tips to bear in mind are the ground is cold is insulate underneath yourself as well as on top. One trick is to use an airbed on top of a roll matt. The smaller the tent the better as it will trap some warmth in, an obviously a smaller tent will warm up from your breath quicker than a big tent. Lagerbaer also makes very good points which I was beaten to making. :) Also things like cup-a-soups are good for warming you up.
Another point which hasn't been brought up yet is shelter. Have a look at these types of shelter which you can sometimes build:
You can also add insulation by planting fir boughs in the ground at an angle. This gives the boughs a little spring and they form a layer of air under you, similar to having another matress.
Oh, also, a candle can help heat your shelter to a certain extent, but it also helps in drying the air, especially in a tent, quinzhee or igloo.
If you're staying out overnight, consider digging a snowhole instead of using a tent. A snowhole can be much warmer than a tent and give significantly better protection. And, as Andy Kirkpatrick writes, they can't blow away.
I have slept in freezing temps and sub zero. All I will say is most sleeping bags will not even keep you comfortable to half their rating. Get a good bag, add a thick blanket or two, and wear plenty of layers.
Do not forget a head and face covering. A few days ago I slept outdoors in -12F and I used a triple layer extreme cold military bag inside a commercial bag rated to -25F and I was mostly comfortable.
Anything extra you can do is recommended. Like building a debris shelter, digging a trench to block wind etc.
Put layers on your ground sheet: cardboard (keep it dry), bubble wrap, survival bags, or blankets will do. These will mean the tent does not lose heat to the ground.
There are two components to staying warm and it's all generally centred around thermodynamics. You want to stay at one temperature and physics wants you to become the temperature of the your environment.
You body, if 100% efficiently insulated, would get hotter and hotter because it's generating heat from all the bodily processes and chemical reactions going on, especailly movement. The source of this heat energy is food which is processed and/or stored in your body and if no fuel is going in, then your body itself.
Equally, if you were 0% insulated, you would cool down at a rate proportionate to the difference in temperature between you and the outside world. To this, you add the heat energy you're generating and ultimately you get a rate of decrease in temperature.
Somewhere between the two is a level of insulation which essentially allows you to create an equilibrium between the rate of generation of heat and the rate of loss. This is how you stay the right temperature.
So some tips are:
Also, I'd like to add stay out of the wind. The wind will suck away any heat you build up, and unless you have a strong tent, cold air will pour in through the seams. One time we were dumb enough to camp on a mountain bald with no trees to protect us in a steady 40 mph wind and a member of our group was in early stages of hypothermia before we were able to get off the mountain top.
Another tip, you're only as warm as your coldest group member so if there's someone who is freezing, focus on heating them up and make sure they're giving you accurate responses to their condition. People experiencing hypothermia usually first start acting irrationally.
Some of these answers have the basics, and new posts are redundant, others miss things or aren't true. I've been plenty warm in 0° with a mummy bag from KMart. The trick is knowing how to use what gear you have. Always have a ground layer to prevent conduction. Go to bed warm, hydrated, and fed. Don't bother with a tent, in general. You'll most likely have ice falling on you in the night from the condensation. An emergency blanket works WONDERS. Wrap yourself within the bag. As little exposed skin as possible, and you're good. Clothing has been well covered.

Landslide Search
|This application allows users to search for - naturally-occurring landslides - landslides with a significant human contribution or directly triggered by humans,- flood events causing significant erosion, and - flash flood events involving mud or debris - which have been recorded by Geoscience Australia and contributing scientific organisations and returns these landslide and flood events along with their associated data. - Human-triggered landslides include events such as sand collapses caused by children digging holes or tunnels, boulders displaced by climbers, rock ledges breaking off when a person stands or sits on them, and collapses caused by excavation. Landslides are often called landslips and the terms are interchangeable.
Landslides Data Entry
|Natural hazards have an impact on every Australian State and Territory. These hazards include bushfires, cyclones, earthquakes, floods, landslides, severe weather, tsunami and volcanoes. These phenomena threaten lives and damage private and public assets, as well as disrupt water, power, transport and communication services. These hazards and their associated impacts also can seriously affect employment, public administration and incomes to industry, agriculture and commerce.
Australian Landslides Data Model
|Currently a number of different landslide inventories exist in various databases within Australia, and each uniquely addresses a specific purpose. These databases range in scale and detail, and although some similarities and a number of common themes are apparent between databases, the method in which information is organised and described varies considerably.

Managed to get all nutritional values correct, and have got the calories upto 1000. Still missing 500 calories. If everything else is ok, but calories are missing 500, is that OK for health reasons?
Here is the spreadsheet: https://spreadsheets.google.com/spreadsheet/ccc?key=0Al-CN3-vjUYvdG9SNXgtcmVNcEUyRFdyWE5EZzdqNXc&hl=en_US&authkey=CJ_6xJ8G#gid=0
I didn't save the old version, but here is a newer version: https://spreadsheets.google.com/spreadsheet/ccc?key=0Al-CN3-vjUYvdHlHbTNHZnVvalRya0RkZmdhMloyTWc&hl=en_US
It is working out to about 500 calories less than I need, but too much fat.
Based on my BMI, my GDA is:
zero exercise days
calories 1525
protein 34
carbohydrate (max) 183
- of which sugars 73
- dietary fibers 24
fat (max) 58
- of which saturates 18
sodium 3
I have converted this into 1 meal so far and roughly get the right amount of everything in the list above from protein to sodium. For example 35g protein, 100g carbs, 50g fat, almost 3g sodium etc etc. But it's only working out to around 500 calories...
So I am not sure what to do now. Is 500 calories enough if all the other values have been reached, or do I need to triple all the values just to get 1500ish calories, or do I need to get 1500ish calories without tripling the other values?

I'm a biology amateur, but it seems like sexual selection is almost always performed based on physical characteristics, the outcome of physical contests, or some sort elaborate courtship. But do any non Homo-Sapiens perform sexual selection based on intelligence factors, like problem solving abilities? If so, how does the species accomplish this? I know natural selection as a whole would definitely favor intelligent individuals, but I'm curious if any species actually takes this into account when choosing mates.
Is there evidence that some non-human species perform sexual selection based primarily on intelligence? How do they do this?
Very intresting question. The problem is that animal intelligence is hard to measure not only for scientists, but probably also for the potential mate. Paradoxically, that is why selection for intelligence, if it occurred, may be very strong. One has to be smart in order to recognise smart behaviour, so preference and preferred feature are strongly connected. But that's only my opinion.
Boogert et al., 2011 1 reviews the current knowledge about animal preferences for cognition skills. They conclude that there is very little data on this subject. The given examples are:
1) Preference for elaborating birds songs (as songs are not inborn and have to be learned)
2) Spatial abilities:
It is possible, that females base their choose on some factors that correlates with cognitive skills or on total wellness, what may depend on intelligence.
3) bowerbird's abilities to build bowers (courtship constructions):
4) foraging performance
Another way that intelligence may be favored by sexual selection is "cheating" during courtship. For example most frog species call to attract females. But this signal may also attract aggresive rivals or predators. Some males, especially the weaker ones, do not call but stay near calling individual. This allows them to avoid confrontation and wait for approaching females [8]. The successfulness of this strategy may depend on how "smart" the individual is (only my opinion).

since today I have an issue with my Ubuntu Online Account Settings. I started Empathy to log into my messengers, but I got an error that Facebook, Google and MSN need an authentication. I tried to delete all of them, but only MSN I was able to delete. Facebook and Google account do nothing. Doesnt matter account is ON/OFF. Is there a way by delete a config file and reset Ubuntu Online Accounts in this way?
Can't delete Facebook and Google in Online Accounts! Where is the config file for Ubuntu Online Accounts located?
I had this problem too . It seemed to occur after an upgrade, I could add new accounts, and disable old ones, but unable to remove old accounts using the proper windows. I eventually found that account information appeared to be stored in the directory
There where 3 files in there accounts.* ; I removed them all and rebooted the computer, and found all the online accounts where gone, I then re-created the new accounts manually as needed.
This is a bit of a heavy handed approach, so if you use it, I recommend you take a copy of the files before you remove them from that directory.
Your accounts are stored in file
It would certainly be a good idea to stop goa-daemon before editing this file...
Did you try the following?
From https://help.ubuntu.com/14.10/ubuntu-help/accounts-remove.html
A great way to find files is to use the find command and to pipe it to grep.
I don't know much about the online accounts and mine get deleted correctly. Try updating your system and trying again, otherwise you can try and find the files. Apologies for not being able to answer your question directly.
NOTE: if you are getting a permission denied error trying prepending sudo to your commands.
You can remove online accounts by using dconf editor.
Open dconf-editor using either terminal or the application menu in unity. Navigate the menu items as:
Select allowed-domains and you should see the installed webapps listed there.
If that doesn't do it, using dconf-editor, navigate to:
Select applications and remove all webapps listed there as well.
Finally, the configuration files are all stored at:
You can try deleting them all and then restart (just to be safe)
You might be facing the same as mentioned on https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/gnome-online-accounts/+bug/1168146 where you can also find the solution. Do:
in terminal... and then go back to Online Accounts to remove the entries.
I think you can very easily delete your Facebook and Google account. All you need to do is to just log in to the account and go the privacy settings and delete your account.

In a shopping cart where a user can select their preferred ship date, how would you alert them when a date is a holiday or weekend? Would you use processing to not allow it? Add an alert that it would arrive the next business day? Have a notification prior to selecting the date?
I would show a calendar picker with non-selectable days grayed out. When the user hovers over the non-selectable day, I would display a tool tip explaining why that date isn't selectable.
For instance, here's an example of blackout dates from MSDN:
(Sidenote: Are you sure there's a reason for having the user select their shipping date? In most e-commerce type applications that I've seen, the users almost invariably want their shipments as soon as possible.)
It makes sense to show the dates as a calendar, as it can be fairly self-explanatory means of indicating weekends and holidays up front, without too much extra messaging.
I've shown an example from an online grocery site in the UK called Ocado. When picking dates there's a help icon above the calendar pops open a legend to explain the shading on dates. This might work for you.
Six colours seem a lot of different options just to chose a date. We (it is a calendar where users can chose a date for a service) use simple traffic light logic. Green bookable, red booked (additionally crossing out might be necessary for the colour blind) and grey not possible to book (weekends and so on). Hoover on selection. We just had a round of user tests on some other issues and the calendar and didn't see any necessity to explain the colours.

I've done load testing on a web application already using tools like JMeter, and tested my database for transactional integrity.
But are there any tools for testing an ODBC connected database (like MS-Access) using just the database?
I'd like to be able to simulate a real world situation of multiple connections reading and writing to and from the database. I want to use this tool to prove something will work before I put it into production.
