We're traveling from SF to Paris (direct) with our 20-month old soon. What are tips for surviving the flight and not having everyone hate us?
Here are the best things you can do from my experience:
1) Do whatever you can to get bulk-head seats. These are the seats in the front of a compartment that have a bunch of extra space. This is great for when your child is awake and wants to walk around for a few minutes. It also allows you to stretch, stand with your child, and change diapers much easier if you need to.
2) Pay for a seat for your child (if you can afford it) and bring a carseat. A child is much more likely to sleep in their seat when they're buckled in to a carseat.
3) Bring a bunch of toys (new ones are best as others described because it captures their attention more)
4) Bring a handful of new books.
5) Bring an electronic device that you can play movies on. Turn down the screen brightness so that it lasts longer, or better yet, try to get a flight with power plugs.
6) Schedule a flight that overlaps with their sleep time.
7) Bring plenty of snacks.
In addition to @Squidly's answer, we found that it helped to let our son do what he wanted (within reason) and let him climb up the chair and crawl around. People generally didn't seem to mind and he was happy. Had we tried to "make him behave" (by which I mean, keep him in his chair) the flight would have been much, much worse.
Also, book an overnight flight there and an evening flight back so he'll have had a whole day to tire himself out before boarding the plane.
Make sure you have something for them to suck on (pacifier, lollypop, gum if they can chew it) or their thumb - Just in case the pressure causes pain in their ears. My 7 year old has that happen about 50% of the time when we fly, and a piece of gum makes it better within a few minutes.
As nobody has mentioned it yet, Take care of yourself. A tired jetlagged parent will not effectively parent to a 20 month old.
See also a useful Question on Travel.
Bring lots of toys for your child to play with, books, activities. If you can food. Basically just keep your child busy and entertained the entire flight. Also with that long of a flight you will have to be prepared to find a way for him to nap, if you can get a darker area of the plane that would be good for that. Also movies on a laptop tends to help as well.
We travel with low expectations, and everything seems to go better than expected. Make them run around the airport a lot before getting on the plane. People don't mind b/c they know what you're trying to do.
If its overnight change them into their sleeping clothes and give them clues its time to sleep soon.
99% of other passengers are great. We've had people move seats so we get an extra seat (and they get away from the kid!) And hopefully there will be some other kids nearby, the best distraction ever for a kid.
Good luck.
Pack carefully. Preferably with a cabin bag that has lots of separate, easily-accessible compartments. Don't try to do anything for yourself when the baby is asleep, apart from sleep.
My experience is (so far) mostly with a younger child (3-6 months) and while at that age they're less mobile (and therefore generally easier to travel with) one of the biggest (and most avoidable) problems we had was that all the toys, feeding equipment and changing paraphernalia were distributed across three different bags, stuffed into the overhead locker. Inevitably, whatever you need to placate / clean / feed the child will be stuck behind somebody else's bag, if you can even get up to the locker to open it (as typically the seatbelt light will come on / the drink cart will block the aisle / something else inconvenient will happen five minutes before your child needs something).
Therefore if you can minimise the amount of stuff you need to pack so it will fit into one bag (ideally something that will fit under the seat in front of you) you'll find travel less stressful. We ended up with no possessions of our own in the bag that we had in the cabin, after several trips where I'd over-optimistically packed reading material, a laptop to work on while the baby was asleep, and so on, none of which were any use until after we'd disembarked.
I do not know how old your kid is, but I had to travel 12 hours with my 2 year old and his mother, and this worked well:
-Travel during the night, so the baby is tired and willing to sleep
-Make enough activities before the flight to ensure that the baby get tired enough to sleep well
-Sometimes you can have sits where there is an extra place to attach a baby sleeping chest, so you might ask your airline if they have this as well.
Prepare something to drink for landing.
Just a small tip, big lollypops keep my 2 year old son busy (quiet) for a good 45 minutes. Also a gadgety thing to hold is good. My son loved his sister's pink sparkly hand fan to open and close. DVD players are mandatory, of course.
Stickers. A giant sticker book.
Someone gave me this tip for our first flight when my son was 21 months after they had flown international with their son.
Phenergan may be an option, though consult a doctor first. My daughter travelled to Turkey when she was 18 months. The combination of planes and buses took about 40 hours - of which she slept for about 4. This is not fair on the kid and rather hard on my missus (she travelled alone).
My daughter did not take Phenergan since our daughter and son are in the small number of kids for which antihistamine make them hyperactive rather than sleepy.
My son was 6 months when he went to Japan - he slept the entire trip. Sometimes you are just lucky.
If people will hate you or not depends on if the kid will hate flying or not. My daughter for some reason loves going on a plane, and eitehr sleeps or jumps up and down trying to get the attention of other passengers, which they usually thing is fantastically cute.
I've seen other kids that hate flying, and they will scream and be a pain throughout the whole flight, and obviously everyone will hate them.
So the recommendation here must be to make the flight fun for your kid. And intercontinental flights are long, so that will be difficult. Many other recommendations here for things to bring to keep your kid entertained are good, so I won't repeat them. :-) You know better what to bring for your children anyway.

WACO (December 20, 2012)— A Waco man was indicted Wednesday for kidnapping and aggravated assault in connection with an incident that involved his common-law wife and her three children.
Cozy Bronshae Washington was named in four indictments charging kidnapping and in another charging aggravated assault with a deadly weapon.
Washington was listed on the McLennan County Jail Log Thursday being held in lieu of bonds totaling $58,000.
Waco police Sgt. W. Patrick Swanton said Washington was arrested September 26 at a South Waco residence after his common-law wife told detectives she and her three children had been kidnapped and held by her common-law husband.
Swanton said on Sept. 20, officers were sent to an address on Brown Street in South Waco after neighbors reported a disturbance.
By the time officers arrived there was no one at the house.
When police checked by the address later in the day the found Washington there and arrested him.
In a subsequent interview with detectives the victim told them on the night of the assault, when her common-law husband realized police had been called, he forced the woman and her children into a car and drove away from the scene.
When the all returned to the house some hours later, police returned.
The man told the victim if she made any attempt to contact police he would kill her with a hammer.
The interview led to warrants being issued on the kidnapping and aggravated assault charges.

Currently /category and /tag 404 if you hit them directly. Is it possible to create a theme template to handle what would display on it? Mark Jaquith - http://twitter.com/#!/markjaquith/status/154324264047218688 - mentioned it might be possible to do with a custom rewrite rule, but I don't know where to begin to implement such a thing... Any help at all would be greatly appreciated.
This is absolutely possible. By default, the category archive page will be at domain.com/category/the_category. The file that is typically used for this rendering is
To remove the /category/ part, so that your category archives are at domain.com/the_category, you can use the SEO Ultimate plugin. After installing the plugin, go to "Permalink Tweaker" and check the first box.
See more at the Codex: Category Templates page.
It possible to create your own template called category-archive or tag-archive
Wordpress uses archive template pages which are pretty much always included in any Wordpress theme.
Checkout your theme folder and then check the Wordpress Codex ( follow the link from Gavin above ) ... for examples of category or tag template pages. You can even have specific templates for different categories if you really want to be complex.
The plugins mentioned above will help for SEO but it sounds to me like you want your own template page.

Woodbury Market offered help during outage
How nice that there are people who come forward to help during an emergency. In Woodbury, it was LaBonne's Market. The store offered water for household use, and to recharge cellphones and have a cup of coffee. Woodbury was without electricity for quite a few days. Our town is grateful to LaBonne's.

Common Problems Encountered by Breastfeeding Women
In This Article:
I have made so many references in this book to low milk supply that you might wonder whether anyone really produces excessive quantities of milk. While many more women seek help for too little milk than for too much milk, an overabundant supply is a frustrating problem for some women. Obviously Mother Nature prefers to closely match a woman's supply to her infant's need. The process of lactation is not efficient when a woman's body makes surplus milk that isn't needed by her infant. I don't know why some women produce extra, unwanted milk, while others fail to produce enough. Although low-milk problems often result from improper breastfeeding management, overabundant milk production is usually unrelated to a mother's breastfeeding practices.
I am convinced that women vary widely in their capacity to produce milk. In earlier times, some mothers with overabundant supplies sought employment as wet nurses. I suspect that an overabundant supply results from a triple combination: exceptional production capacity, a brisk and well-conditioned milk ejection reflex, and a superefficient nursing baby. While generally preferable to low milk, the problem can still be a source of frustration and discomfort for both mother and baby. Women with an overabundant milk supply often voice the following complaints:
- Breasts that easily become uncomfortably engorged
- Dramatic (sometimes painful) sensations of the milk ejection reflex
- Chronic leaking milk
- Repeated clogged ducts
- One or more breast infections
- Rapid weight loss due to the high metabolic demands of producing so much milk
- Choking and sputtering when milk lets down
- Excessive gas and abdominal discomfort from overeating
- Rapid weight gain
- Inability to enjoy "comfort nursing" since the baby obtains unwanted milk even when trying to nurse to sleep
- Frustration with breastfeeding that leads to early weaning or a nursing strike
Meanwhile, you can try some of the following strategies to help your baby enjoy nursings better, to prevent the risk of clogged ducts and mastitis, and to gradually reduce your milk production:
Position your baby so that his head and throat are higher than your nipple. By nursing "uphill," he will be better able to control your overly fast flow of milk. Use the football hold and lean back to elevate your baby's head. Or, try the cradle hold, with your baby elevated higher than usual, while you lean back in a recliner.
If your let-down is causing your baby to choke and/or cry, temporarily interrupt the feeding until your milk stops spraying. Then allow your baby to resume feeding after the milk flow has slowed.
The two key ways to reduce milk production are to remove less milk at each nursing and to remove milk at less-frequent intervals. To prolong the interval at which milk is removed, you can try nursing on only one breast at each feeding, alternating the breast you use. Using one breast at each nursing might also make feedings go more smoothly for your baby. After the initial rapid flow tapers, your baby may be able to comfortably handle the milk volume from a single breast. However, the unsuckled breast may be left uncomfortably full and place you at risk for mastitis. If you decide to use one breast, you probably will need to express sufficient milk from the opposite breast to relieve some of the pressure and keep you comfortable. Eventually, the milk supply should decrease.
Another way to modify feedings is to allow your baby to nurse from both breasts at each feeding, but to avoid emptying either side well. The first breast will be left softer than the second, but neither will be thoroughly drained. You'll want to nurse at the first breast for at least five to seven minutes after your milk lets-down to assure that your baby gets ample hindmilk. Once he switches to the second breast, some mixing of foremilk and hindmilk already will have occurred. What isn't desired is to have your baby take only the watery foremilk from each breast.
Some women with overabundant milk choose to obtain a hospital-grade electric breast pump so they can soften their breasts whenever the need arises. They simply freeze their excess milk for later use-perhaps after they return to work.
Where feasible, supermilk producers can collect and donate their surplus milk to a Donor Milk Bank. This is an option available in Denver since we have a large distributing Mothers' Milk Bank. Being able to provide extra milk for infants in need serves to reframe a woman's "problem" and turn it into a positive.
Note: As unlikely as it seems right now, you actually can go from too much to too little milk in only a few days. I have seen this happen a number of times when women started skipping nursings and leaving their breasts engorged. Remember, extra milk is preferable to insufficient milk!
Nursing Strike
Occasionally, a breastfed infant starts refusing to nurse without apparent explanation. Nursing strike is an apt term used to describe this sudden breastfeeding refusal. It occurs most commonly between four and seven months of age. In a typical case of nursing strike, a mother will report that when she offers her breast, her baby cries, arches his back, pulls away, and essentially rejects the breast. He may latch on for a few seconds, but does not suckle for any appreciable time. The baby usually accepts a bottle well and is content to bottle-feed. Faced with this frustrating behavior in her infant, it is not uncommon for a woman to give up nursing and explain that her baby "weaned himself." Other women are distressed at the prospect of not being able to continue breastfeeding and seek advice from their doctor or a breastfeeding counselor. With prompt intervention, nursing strikes can often be remedied, thus preserving the opportunity for a woman to continue to breastfeed.
At first consideration, a nursing strike appears to occur suddenly and without obvious reason. Upon more careful examination, however, I find that one or more contributing factors are usually present. Some infants begin their distressing behavior during the course of an upper-respiratory infection. A stuffy nose can create distress when a baby tries to breath while nursing. Or an ear infection can be more painful when a baby reclines to nurse. The refusal behavior sometimes coincides with teething and may be the result of discomfort while sucking. I'm also aware of a few instances of nursing strike that started after a teething infant bit his unsuspecting mother and caused her to shriek in surprise and pain-which, in turn, startled and upset the baby. A busy mother may find she has been hurrying feedings to get to other activities instead of permitting her infant leisurely nursings. Another baby may go on strike because he has been frustrated by an overabundant milk supply or an overactive milk ejection reflex. The common theme in these examples is some type of unpleasantness associated with breastfeeding.
While any number of reasons-recognized or overlooked-may contribute to a nursing strike, I have come to conclude that many cases also involve a gradually dwindling milk supply. After the early months of frequent, round-the-clock nursing, many mothers begin giving supplemental bottles and spending increased periods of time separated from their babies. A mother's milk supply may decline after her baby starts sleeping through the night, causing her breasts to go eight, ten, or twelve hours without emptying. At first a mother may not even be aware that her supply is less abundant or that her baby is becoming frustrated with the increased effort to obtain milk. Without consciously planning it, she actually may have started weaning, and her baby may decide to escalate the process abruptly through a nursing strike. Thus, I believe the common denominator of nursing strikes all too often is low milk supply. When diminished milk flow is coupled with a baby who has been exposed to the ease of bottle-feeding, abrupt refusal to nurse can result. Low milk volume and bottle use aren't always to blame, however. Other cases have been described in which the mother had an abundant milk supply and the baby was being fully breastfed.
If your baby is manifesting a nursing strike, seek consultation with a lactation consultant or other breastfeeding specialist. You also should let your baby's doctor know that your infant is experiencing this feeding problem. The physician will want to make sure that no illness is present to explain your baby's behavior and that the infant continues to receive sufficient nourishment during the period of breast refusal. Effective treatment of a nursing strike involves three key strategies:
1. First, try to get your baby to return to breastfeeding by attempting to nurse him in his sleep. Fortunately, most infants will cooperate, although some may cry upon awakening and finding themselves at the breast. Eventually, your baby may awaken and continue to nurse without protest. Some mothers have found that they could keep their child nursing by walking with the infant. Bottle-feeding should be avoided if at all possible. If your baby requires supplemental milk, several options are available for providing it without using bottles. If regular bottle-feeding is inevitable, try to have another caretaker give the bottle. If breastfeeding frustrates your baby because it does not satisfy his hunger, you may be able to woo him back to the breast beginning with "comfort nursing" after he has been given supplemental formula to curb his appetite.
2. Eliminate any unpleasantness associated with nursings and remedy any exacerbating factors. If your baby has a cold, nurse your infant after clearing the nasal passages with a bulb syringe. If you think an ear infection could be present, have your child checked and treated. Attempt to nurse in subdued, quiet surroundings to minimize distractions, and let your baby take all the time he wants. If discomfort from teething seems to be contributing to difficulty nursing, soothe your baby's gums with a cold teething ring.
3. Evaluate your milk supply and, if low, attempt to increase your milk production. Even if your supply was normal prior to the nursing strike, your milk can rapidly decrease if your baby refuses to nurse. Once the original problem is compounded by low milk, it will be even harder to get your baby back to breastfeeding. So, unless your infant immediately can be enticed to resume breastfeeding at the normal frequency and for a suitable duration, you will need to obtain an effective breast pump to maintain (and increase) your milk supply. While hand expression and manual pumps prove highly effective for some women, in general, I recommend an efficient hospital-grade electric pump to regularly empty your breasts and keep your milk production up until your baby is nursing well once again.
Pumping can create a potential dilemma since you can't predict when your baby might be willing to cooperate and nurse. It's possible you will finish emptying your breasts with the pump just when your baby acts like he might be willing to breastfeed. On the other hand, if you leave your breasts unemptied while waiting expectantly for your baby to suckle, your milk supply may dwindle. I would advise putting your baby to breast every couple of hours (preferably with the infant asleep or drowsy at first). Then, you should pump both breasts immediately after your nurs-ing attempt to assure they are well drained.
With sufficient reassurance, a strong commitment to nursing, and the temporary discontinuation of bottle-feeding, a nursing strike often can be overcome. Increasing your milk if it is low and nursing your baby in his sleep are your best strategies.

In response, to the primary election, John Grange thanked the voters who braved the bad weather to cast their vote.
"I think the decision by Secretary Kobach to extend that days voting period was very helpful in improving voter turnout in light of the weather forecast," he said.
"I have plans for several 'meet and greet' talking and listening events during March," Grange said of what was next for him. "If requested, I will continue these gatherings during my tenure as a way to keep the voters informed and to hear the comments of how we are doing. I am hopeful some one on one debates will be scheduled so the voters can hear each vision of how a Mayor should conduct himself in the business of the city."
He encourages anyone who has questions or comments to contact me at any time at home at 321-2087, on his cell at 322-0433, work at 321-6230 or by email at firstname.lastname@example.com.
"As mayor I will provide a written bi-weekly update on our commission actions and I will continue to ask for citizens input and participation,"he said.

I must say that I do like this short animated film of Tim Minchin's poem 'Storm'. Some great pieces of animated typography plus it's a great poem as well. Be warned though, as it's Tim Minchin it's probably not for those who are easily offended.

I have created a landing/welcome page for a new client and the process seems to have changed. I can no longer go to the application profile to add it to the page. I was able to locate instructions through a google search that involved the following link:
I replaced "popup" with what I thought was my canvas and I replaces "YOUR_APP_ID" with my app id taken from the settings. I get API Error Code: 100 API Error Description: Invalid parameter Error Message: Requires valid redirect URI.

The 6 Most Unsettling Medication Side Effects
We're going to take a stand here: We're in favor of medicine. Modern medicine ranks with internet porn and the George Foreman grill as one of the greatest achievements of mankind. But there are drawbacks in the form of side effects, some of which are far more off-putting than the inability to operate heavy machinery.
Most of them only happen to an infinitesimally small group of people, but they can still happen. Behold, six side effects that would suck for anyone unlucky enough to experience them, while being indisputably awesome for any onlooker with a video camera and a YouTube account.
Alli is a weight-loss medication that prevents fat absorption. When you eat fat, the medication stops you from digesting it and helps it pass right along through.
Side effects may include ...
According to their website, Alli calls these "treatment effects." Which implies that these effects can happen to pretty much everybody under the right circumstances. It's nothing major, mind you, just things like "gas with oily spotting." This would be a polite way of describing a fart that spackles your chair with a greasy stain of ass buckshot. In some cultures that's a great compliment for the host.
Of course, that's not all. Prominently displayed on their list of treatment effects are also "loose stools" and "more frequent stools that may be hard to control." Again, this should not be that alarming as these events are quite humorous when portrayed in the realm of slapstick comedy.
Alli, purveyors of hilarity that they are, go on to describe in gut busting detail just what to expect from your twitching, out-of-control rectum, including this gem: "You may recognize it as something that looks like the oil on top of a pizza." Recognize what? The slurry that leaked out of your ass and into your khakis, that's what.
Should you worry?
Their site makes it sound like anyone who eats too much fat in one sitting can wind up with leakage. It makes sense; you're not absorbing the grease from the fries you ate, the grease has to go somewhere.
The Alli people, ever the optimists, imply this is all part of the plan:
"In fact, anecdotally, many users have told us that treatment effects served as a signal that helped them adopt healthier eating patterns."
As in, people start limiting their fat intake out of fear of uncontrollable pooping in the middle of, say, giving a eulogy at a loved one's funeral.
Finally, the curse of the Jimmy Legs can come to an end thanks to Requip, a medication that helps manage Restless Leg Syndrome. And thankfully, most people can take it without incident.
Side effects may include ...
Mind you, there's always a chance you'll be one of the lucky ones who, inexplicably, is struck with "an unusual urge to gamble or increased sexual urges and/or behaviors."
We totally did not make that up. If you take Requip, you might turn into James Bond in Casino Royale.
Now, to the few of you who still have not left your computers to go get Requip prescriptions, it's probably wise to consider the warning against increased sexual "behaviors." Not just urges.
It's not enough that in your quest to have stationary legs you'll get oddly horny, but apparently you could find yourself actually doing things. Sexual things. Against your will. As a bonus, you may also start betting on the likelihood on whether or not you'll be arrested for these various sexual endeavors.
Not to be forgotten, however, are the visual, aural and tactile hallucinations that Requip can potentially cause. Factor in your new horny behavior and it's entirely possibly you'll find yourself on a bus humping a seat and think you're in New Jersey banging Aunt Gladys against your will with 50 bucks riding on whether you'll be done before Uncle Paul gets home. It could get complicated.
Should you worry?
All of these are extremely rare and most common to people who also have Parkinson's disease. The gambling thing seems to have the experts baffled, though it didn't stop this guy from suing the drug maker for a gambling addiction that lost him $14 million. What would he have done if he'd won?
The fear of hair loss grips many a man, because we know the odds are overwhelming we will not turn into a cool, suave bald guy like Patrick Stewart, and will instead wind up more like our weird Uncle Paul with his increasingly desperate comb-overs.
Thankfully, science stumbled upon an answer in Propecia, a drug invented to treat prostate problems that messes with the testosterone in your body enough to help you hang on to your hair. What could possibly go wrong?
Side effects may include ...
It's called "gynecomastia," the first four letters of which should make any man arch his eyebrow and feel wary. And with good cause, as gynecomastia means boobs. Boobs that can make milk. No, seriously.
There's got to be a Rob Schneider movie in here somewhere.
Should you worry?
Propecia is powerful shit; if you've seen the ads on TV you know that pregnant women aren't even allowed to touch the pills. The little bit that seeps in through the skin can mess the baby up so bad that even having a mom and a dad able to nurse couldn't save them.
Still, the odds on the man-boob thing are extremely small, which probably doesn't make the few lactating bald dudes out there feel any better. What will make them feel better is knowing that the effects are reversible and the man-boobs go away when you stop taking it. Of course, the luxuriant head of hair you grew goes away, too.

New Cookbook that is available this month on Amazon.I was asked a while back to submit some recipes for the upcoming KCBS cookbook 25th Anniversary edition. I was surprised and delighted to receive my copy today. They included all of the recipes I submitted. These are truly some of my all time favorites.
About the authors of this latest KCBS Cookbook:
A charter member of KCBS and former three-term member of the Board of Directors, Ardie Davis founded the American Royal International BBQ Sauce, Rub, and Baste Contest and the Great American Barbecue Sauce, Baste, and Rub Contest. He is the author of five barbeque cookbooks.
Paul Kirk, a charter member of the KCBS and member of the Board of Directors, operates the Baron's School of Pitmasters. The author of six barbeque cookbooks, he has won more than 475 cooking and barbequing awards, among them seven world championships, including the prestigious American Royal Open, the world's largest barbeque contest.
Carolyn Wells and her late husband, Gary, were two of the original founders of the Kansas City Barbeque Society. Carolyn is the Executive Director and continues to dedicate her time as an ambassador for the KCBS and for barbeque itself.
The book is chock full of recipes (over 200) from lots of terrific teams and backyard cooks. I had to laugh at page 209 title page Cross Dressing at BBQ & Chili Events. So funny. I won't ruin the surprise by posting it here but don't miss that page. Also a fav recipe of mine from a friend Paul Seabrook is featured on page 17 . There are so many interesting and varied recipes throughout this book. It will be fun to experiment with some of them.
At the front of the book there is also a section on the KCBS 4 meats for competition making this an ideal book for any starter team as well.
Lots of fun and loaded up with contributions from so many this makes an ideal BBQ book purchase or gift for any on your list.

I produced a DVD a couple months ago and found out that people in the States had trouble viewing it.
I am not totally sure what the problem is (could be PAL vs NTSC - I thought every modern US player would play both as is the norm in Europe and elsewhere).
What needs to be done to ensure that a DVD will play uniformly well on all players?

5 Battlefield Screw Ups That Were Hilarious (Until People Died)
#2. What Braveheart Looks Like Without the William Wallace Character
A couple of centuries after Breaveheart, the English and Scottish were still pretty much hating each other for everything and war was declared over the two nations for any reason at all. In this particular instance, King Henry the VIII of England wasn't pleased with his nephew, James V, king of Scotland, because he didn't turn up for a meeting with his old uncle. Henry sent a few thousand men to go pillaging, destroying and generally fucking up James's land. That's family for you.
Eventually the Scots decided enough was enough and sent a vastly superior force of around 18,000 troops to show them to the door. Things looked optimistic for the Scottish when they turned up outnumbering the English six to one in what would be called The Battle of Solway Moss.
Who Fucked Up?
When the Scottish turned up to the fight, they cracked their knuckles, tossed some cabers and waited eagerly for orders from their General. After a few minutes of looking around and pointing at each other, they suddenly realized there wasn't a commander present. No one was in charge.
So.. do we attack, or...?
The Scottish commander had been (unofficially anyway) Robert Maxwell. But he got sick and had to leave the army. He did this without taking care of the minor task of appointing someone to replace him.
When the British arrived, some of the Scottish fled the battle, some fought, some just stood their scratching their heads wondering why nobody was giving them the order to charge even though the British were right there, killing them. What, is this some kind of strategy? Are we trying to give them a false sense of confidence?
Finally the 3,000 English just walked up and captured the ones who were still around, eventually walking away with 1,200 prisoners. See, this is why we never got that Braveheart sequel.
#1. The U.S. Attacks an Empty Island, Loses More Than 100 Men
When a Japanese task force of 500 marines swiftly invaded the U.S. occupied island of Kiska, the Americans decided to take it back with 35,000 men, having done the math and determined that bringing 70 times more troops than the enemy is the precise amount to say "fuck off."
On August 17, 1943, The U.S. Army stormed the beach of Kiska with a force of 95 ships, 168 aircraft and thousands of Captain Americas. They bombed the beaches with planes, destroyed the garrisons with heavy artillery and then the soldiers charged in, shooting everything that somehow still stood.
The allies took the island and suffered 122 casualties.
When the dust settled and the Americans stopped to reload, pat themselves on the back, count the bodies and have the compulsory talk about their girls waiting for them back home, they suddenly realized that they couldn't find any enemy corpses. Either that Japanese task force was comprised entirely of Predators or they had been bamboozled.
Charge! Keep firing at everything ever!
Who Fucked Up?
The U.S. intelligence officers win the prize. After sending a plane and taking photos over Kiska, it looked a whole lot like it had been abandoned. And it had been--the Japanese had left the island two weeks before. Still, the decision was made to send in the troops and bring that nothing to justice rather than delaying the operation and checking to see that the enemy were actually fucking there. Good job, gentlemen.
It all could have been an amusing mistake, but only if you forget about the 122 dead. How do you lose over a hundred men in a battle with no enemy? Well, the losses included 24 from friendly fire, a stray mine destroying a ship and 47 men vanishing in the dense jungle. Though that last one actually lends credence to the Predator theory...

if moshe led us out of egypt, into israel, and is a great man why isn't he considered a forefather.
Sign up
- Anybody can ask a question

- The best answers are voted up and rise to the top
The forefathers are the great grandparents of every single Jew, however Moshe is not the great grandfather of every single Jew.
See Ohr Hatorah by the Tzemach Tzedek
There are only three fathers because they embodied three characteristics that all Jews have (as an inheritance from them, because they are the source of all Jewish souls). But we do not have the characteristics other Tzaddikim (even like Reuvain, Shimon, etc. from whom we descend)
As Gershon stated, the forefathers are our physical ancestors as well as our spiritual founders. We could just say we have one forefather, Ya'akov, or we could say we have 12, his sons. Or we could trace back to his father, Yitzhak, who taught him his tradition. Or we could trace back to his father, Avraham, who established the tradition. It's better to go to the source.
In addition, sometimes "Avoth" is used in reference to everyone in the wilderness after the Exodus.
But I assume the question is why "Avoth" generally is referring to Avraham, Yitzhak and Ya'akov.

I just read here, that InfoPath forms will no longer be used in Workflows. Is there something that will replace InfoPath? or are forms in the Workflows just going away?
Probably one should use references from Microsoft itself on MS products.
So, Microsoft source tells:
That would have been strange to use client-oriented Infopath for sharepoint workflows when it is impossible even to install Office 2013 in Windows XP.
As such Infopath was already barely supported. For example, VSTA (Visual Studio Tools for Applications) form Office 2010 is no more than Visual Studio 2005, with no more than .NET 2.0 with serious bugs migrated untouched from Office 2007.
And had serious self-contradictory idiosyncrasies like impossibility to develop purely local (isolated) Infopath apps with external connections or code-behind without attributing them Full Trust and digitally signing them, etc.
In other words, client-based Infopath approach to server-side sharepoint workflows was rather a conceptual and architectural Microsoft error long time ago. Client-based applications should be client-based and server application should be server-based. There is no sense to mix them.
Just came back from the SharePoint 2012 conference in Vegas. I asked this at the MS developer booth and was told to 'read between the lines.' My take is yes, there is no more InfoPath in SharePoint 2013. I plan to write more in a blog in a few days.
Article: http://surfpointtech.com/2012/11/15/notes-from-the-edge-sharepoint-2012-conference-las-vegas/
I think this is Good as coded Infopath seems not running well in sharepoint 2010. I have tried code VSTA in InfoPath 2010 to Form Library in Sharepoint 2010 but has error always.

The jack-audio-connection-kit needs to run in realtime mode and my system is configured accordingly. I'm using the fglxr driver.
With Unity-2d everything is fine.
With Unity-3d, jack-clients disconnect from jack very often, usually when something happens to windows (being drawn first time, brought to front, opening menus ...).
It's still the same driver, but it seems like the 3d accleration part of it is not preemptable.
What are my options besides sticking to Unity-2d (I really painfully miss window drop- shadows)?
I did not even find a way to report a bug against the driver itself, and do not know how to further diagnose the issue, anyway.

Hogwarts Express
Redirected from Hogwart's Express
this wiki
- "The Hogwarts Express is a 4-6-0 Hall Class steam locomotive model number GWR 5900. It is quite impressive."
- —Hogwarts Express conductor[src]
The Hogwarts Express is the name of the train that makes a run between London, King's Cross Station Platform 9¾ and Hogsmeade Station. It makes this run at about six times a year, maybe more, as needed.
The Express dutifully carries students to and from Hogwarts School of Witchcraft and Wizardry at the start and end of every term. The train leaves Platform 9¾ without fail on 1 September at 11 o'clock in the morning, arriving at Hogsmeade Station in the early evening. Some students take the train back to King's Cross Station to go home for the Christmas and Easter holidays, but some do not, as they stay at Hogwarts. It also makes the run back again to London at the end of term in June.
The Hogwarts Express was originally built by the Muggle engineers at Crewe, in Cheshire, England,[1] in the early-to-mid 19th century.
In 1827, Ottaline Gambol rose to the office of Minister for Magic, and she made a daring and controversial suggestion to solve the ages-old problem of how to transport hundreds of students to and from Hogwarts Castle every school year without attracting the Muggles' attention: intrigued by the Muggle technology, the Minister saw the potential of using a train as a secure and comfortable alternative to Portkeys or to unregulated means of travel. The Ministry of Magic conducted a large-scale operation involving one hundred and sixty-seven Memory Charms, as well as the biggest Concealment Charm ever performed in Britain, in order to acquire the locomotive. The morning after this operation, the residents of Hogsmeade awoke to find the gleaming red Hogwarts Express and a Hogsmeade railway station that had not been there previously, and the Muggle railway employees in Crewe had the feeling they had misplaced something, which stayed with them for the rest of the year.[1] There was initial resistance from pure-blood families against using a Muggle-built device for wizard transportation (which, they claimed, was "unsafe, insanitary and demeaning"), until the Ministry decreed that students would arrive to school on the train or not attend at all.[1]
It was on the Hogwarts Express that Harry first got to know Ron Weasley in 1991, and first met many of the other people who played significant roles in his life, including Hermione Granger, Neville Longbottom, Fred and George Weasley and, in later years, Remus Lupin and Luna Lovegood. The second confrontation between Harry and Draco Malfoy occurred on the train on the way to Hogwarts when Draco sneered at Ron and offered Harry his friendship. Harry turned down Draco's offer abruptly, marking the beginning of a long-standing enmity and hatred between the two boys.
It was on the Hogwarts Express that Harry had his first encounter with a Dementor in 1993; the train had been stopped by the creatures in case escaped criminal Sirius Black was on board. In 1996, Harry and others were invited to a compartment occupied by Professor Horace Slughorn; the Express later ferried the students home early after Albus Dumbledore's funeral. In 1997 the train was once again stopped en-route to Hogwarts, this time by Death Eaters searching for Harry Potter, where they were met with some resistance from its occupants.
In 2017, Harry, Ginny, Ron, and Hermione took their children to Platform 9¾ where they boarded the train to leave for Hogwarts.
In striking contrast to Britain's National Rail system, the Hogwarts Express takes the form of a large red, 4-6-0 steam engine. Originally steam fitted by the Muggles who built it, the Hogwarts Express now runs exclusively on magic.
The passenger carriages hold compartments set off a corridor, allowing each compartment to function as a self-contained stage within the larger train. During the long journey to Hogwarts, students may enjoy treats from a trolley, such as Pumpkin Pasties and Chocolate Frogs. There are usually no adults aboard the Hogwarts Express except the witch with the tea trolley and the driver. Occasionally new teachers (such as Remus Lupin and Horace Slughorn) could be found aboard the train as well.
Prefects of the school ride in a separate carriage near the front of the train. The compartments on the train appear to be lettered; in 1996, the Slug Club met in Compartment C.
Behind the scenes
- The Hogwarts Express is portrayed in the Harry Potter films by steam locomotive no. 5972 "Olton Hall".
- The Bloomsbury adult editions of Harry Potter and the Philosopher's Stone portray the Hogwarts Express as The Cavalier, specifically using a reproduction of O. Winston Link's photograph Norfolk & Western Train No. 16, The Cavalier, leaves Williamson, West Virginia, on a rainy day, December 1958.[2]
- Because The Hogwarts Express is portrayed by a GWR Hall class locomotive, its original paintwork was Brunswick green, not crimson red. The unusual paint job on the engine has sparked much controversy among Great Western Railway fans.
- To promote J.K. Rowling's fourth Harry Potter book, a West Country Class Southern Railway locomotive, named Taw Valley, was painted crimson red and was given the Hogwarts Express nameplate. Yet it was rejected by Chris Columbus, the film director, because it looked too modern for the film's taste. Hence Olton Hall was chosen as the star, for its stately appearance.
- Interestingly, the Hogwarts Express conductor at The Wizarding World of Harry Potter once claimed that the train was a GWR 5900 and was built in 1936[3], when the real train was a GWR 4900 (indeed, the 5900 class does not exist) and was built in April of 1937. It is possible, however, that these details were intentionally changed to differentiate the Hogwarts Express from the real train that portrays it. Information from Pottermore, however, points to it being acquired by the Ministry about a century earlier, in the term of Minister Ottaline Gambol (in office 1827-1835).
- During principal photography of Harry Potter and the Prisoner of Azkaban, filming was shut down for several days after the train used as the Hogwarts Express was vandalised, costing £3000; the vandals had spray-painted graffiti onto the train. The train was damaged again in March 2007, after filming of Harry Potter and the Order of the Phoenix was completed. A month was required to repair the locomotive, because of the £50,000 worth of damage, as 337 of its toughened windows were smashed with hammers.
- The school train is traditionally reserved only for students. Only four adults were ever seen travelling on the train: the Honeydukes Express lady, the conductor, Remus Lupin and Horace Slughorn.
- In the first five films, the Hogwarts Express is shown to have four coaches. However, in the film version of Harry Potter and the Half Blood Prince, it is shown to have five coaches. The fifth coach differs greatly from the rest, because it has no compartments. The fifth coach may have been added due to the fact that it has a luggage rack which the other four lacked, the luggage rack was needed so Harry could eavesdrop on a conversation involving Draco Malfoy. It's also possible that its addition might reflect a higher-than-usual enrolment at Hogwarts. However as there are approximately one thousand students at Hogwarts each year each set up shown in the films seems inadequate for the requirements.
- Being an official vehicle of Hogwarts school, it's possible to surmise that it could be considered an extension of the school and thus fall under at least some of its rules and allowances. This may be why rule-abiding Hermione Granger felt free to cast the Oculus Reparo spell on Harry's glasses in the film version of Harry Potter and the Philosopher's Stone which might have otherwise been a violation of underage magic restrictions.
- There have been several models of the Hogwarts express released, including HO/OO scale models by Bachmann and Hornby, O scale by Lionel, and a new G scale model.
- In the film adaption Harry Potter and the Deathly Hallows: Part 1, the returning Hogwarts Students are only seen on the Hogwarts Express and not at Hogwarts itself, which is due to the film mainly focusing on Harry, Ron, and Hermione's quest to find and destroy Voldemort's Horcruxes.
- As the only stations the Hogwarts Express is noted as stopping at are King's Cross and Hogsmeade it is unclear if students from Scotland, Wales and more remote parts of England (and possibly Ireland) have to make their way to and from Hogwarts via other means or have to make the trip via King's Cross. However, in the film version, Seamus Finnigan is seen on the Hogwarts Express even though he lives in Ireland.
- It is possible it has other stops before reaching King's Cross, but it seems probable that the train only runs from King's Cross to Hogsmeade given that Ron and Harry lived no where near London but used King's Cross.
- The fact that on average there are around one thousand students at Hogwarts each year also poses complications for the Hogwarts Express being the only method for students to reach Hogwarts. However given the existence of various ways of increasing space within carriages and the fact within the books neither the overall number of carriages the Express pulls nor the length of Platform 9¾ are stated leaves the possibility open.
- Throughout the films, the Hogwarts Express has had its iconic whistle but in the third film, a different whistle is used. The reason for this change is unknown.
- The Hogwarts Express has a tender for carrying coal and water.
- In the films and books, it is suggested the staff of the train, in particular the witch with the food trolley, is able to pass through to see the driver of the train. Under normal circumstances this wouldn't be possible, as there is no path through the tender to the cab of the engine. However, the LNER A3/A4s featured a "corridor tender" that allowed for on the fly crew changes. This was done to allow non stop passenger service from King's Cross to Scotland. Crews would change over by way of a special corridor built through the tender that connected with the rest of the train. Thus, it's entirely possible that the Express uses a similar type of tender, though no GWR locomotives ever used these, as they were a LNER type tender. The locomotives tender appears to be a standard GWR tender however.
- There could also be some sort of magical "radio" or a enchanted "mirror" of a sort, where the train crew and passengers can speak through it (or see through) to the driver.
- The locomotive used for the Express, Olton Hall, raised eyebrows in the British train spotting community, since for the films it bears the name "Hogwarts Castle." Many people thus refer to it as "the Hall that thinks it's a Castle," referring to a separate, larger class of engine built by the Great Western Railway.
- The whistle that the locomotive used in the movies was a LNER A4 Chime Whistle.

You can also go to services like Perfecto Mobile and DA to test your site on actual devices instead of regular emulators.
The question is how seriously you want to test your website. If you have a small site and only want to check how it looks you can use an emulator but if you really want to reach quality standards you are used to from old fashioned website/software testing you must test on real devices. Perfecto mobile is definitely a recommended solution - the only 100% web based RDA service, very quick support to newly launched devices (e.g. galaxy tab) and the most flexible and affordable plans and prices (e.g. the Android Cloud) they have a 1 hour free trial with access to all devices

Is it possible to use the Samsung Galaxy Tab as a wifi-hotspot so that non-3G iPads can use the Samsungs connection to the phone network?
migrated from superuser.com Jan 12 '11 at 14:18
This question came from our site for computer enthusiasts and power users.
The Galaxy Tab comes with Android version 2.2 (Froyo), this version of the Android OS comes with the ability to work as a WiFi hotspot for up to 5 devices built in. This lets you share your Tab's 3G connection out to other devices over Wifi.
I've tethered wifi only devices like my Kindle 3, and a wifi Skype phone to my Galaxy S's wireless hotspot in this way and connected them to the internet with no problem, so I can't see any reason you'd have trouble doing that between a 3G Galaxy Tab and a Wifi iPad.
(it is possible for your phone company to block this facility, to date I think Verizon in the US are the only company to block it)
Yes you can.
Settings > Wireless and Network > Mobile AP
This feature is built by Samsung, and different from the tethering feature that comes with Android 2.2 (Froyo). Using this one you can turn your Tab as a password-protected hotspot

Yogurt Pepsi: 14 Horrifying Soft Drinks Around the World
We want to respect other cultures and their unique tastes in food and drink. But sometimes, they're simply wrong. There are soft drinks on the market around the globe that are clearly unfit for human consumption and wrong on a deeply moral level.
Think we're over reacting? Then you've never heard of:
#14. Yogurt-Flavored Pepsi
Also Known As:
If you've ever gotten the urge to stir some yogurt into your Pepsi, well, you're lucky to be alive because we're pretty sure that shit will make your stomach explode. Or maybe just turn into a super-powerful acid that eats you from the inside out (we aren't chemists). At best you'll wind up giving everyone the impression that you've ejaculated into your Pepsi.
So who would think to combine those two things and sell them commercially? Japan. Pepsi White emerged there last October just in time for their line of winter products. Because nothing screams "winter" like yogurt. Because it's white. Also, it's the first Pepsi beverage that might curdle on a hot summer day.
Only in Japan could Ice Cucumber flavor be the second weirdest Pepsi product on the market.
#13. Celery Soda
Also Known As:
Not just some kooky novelty beverage, Dr. Brown's Cel-Ray is a drink extracted from celery seeds that has been around since the 18-freaking-60s. We'd imagine the ads featured guys cracking open a cold can and rubbing it across their sweaty forehead after leaving the Civil War battlefield.
Since then, Cel-Ray has became a common item in the city of New York, and in Jewish delicatessens here and there, having totally captured the market in celery-flavored soda that, for some strange reason, no other beverage maker has even bothered to enter in a century and a half.
#12. Kimchi Drink
Also Known As:
Whether or not you felt a tinge of nausea at the name of this product depends entirely on whether or not you know what kimchi is.
Kimchi is a traditional Korean side dish composed mainly of fermented spicy cabbage. The Kimchee Drink is the packaged, cloudy juice left from the fermentation process.
Now it's one thing to enjoy kimchi, which is probably an acquired taste but, hey, lots of Koreans love it. But the shit that's left behind in the tank after they've fished the food out? It's like McDonald's trying to sell us cups of used french fry oil. Just throw it away, you greedy bastards.
#11. Garlic Drink
Also Known As:
Hey, you know how when you eat just a little bit of garlic your breath smells like it for eight hours afterward? And how you can't get the garlic smell off your hands for a solid week if you handle some?
Well, in South Korea they've got whole bottles of garlic juice you can chug on a hot day. Perfect refreshment when you're on a date with a girl you despise. Also, works as a Molotov cocktail when thrown at a vampire!
Also available in onion.
#10. "Become Bigger!" Breast Enlarging Beverage
Also Known As:
Oh, hey, Japan's back. And with a brand of breast-enlarging soft drink.
And no, this is not some subtle thing like Enzyte's "male enhancement" nod and wink ad campaign. Okkikunare literally means "become bigger!" The boob enlargement thing is front and center. The ingredient that was supposed to bring forth a new glorious era for Japanese men, and a slightly more back pain for the women, is powdered arrowroot.
Unfortunately, actual scientific studies with a barrel of it and 20 brave female scientists proved that arrowroot does nothing for breast enhancement (clearly if such a substance existed, mankind would have discovered it about, oh, 10,000 years ago).
And while any country could get caught selling a boob-enhancing formula here and there, only Japan would stick a drawing of a toddler on the label.
#9. Cannabis Drink (for Kids!)
Also Known As:
Switzerland has apparently produced several varieties of this stuff, which manufacturers claim is made from hemp resin but has no THC (the stuff that gets you high). We're assuming that kind of defeats the point for their target customers, especially considering the can above promises you'll "get the magic power" of hemp seeds.
In a bold move to help speed up the awareness of all these products, cans of the stuff turned up in the United Kingdom when a cafe started handing it out to school children at an event. That went over about as well as you'd expect.
#8. Liquid Cheese
Also Known As:
And back to Japan.
Produced by the NEEDS cheese factory in Hokkaido, the NEEDS liquid cheese drink comes in three flavors: Berry, Yuzu Citrus and Plain. But don't worry, special steps had been taken to cut down on their natural sweetness, securing you a naturally salty cheese sensation throughout the entire drink. Use it to wash down a nice bowl of cheese soup and a fondue.
The liquid cheese beverage has reportedly been produced to raise awareness of cheese in that country. Instead of showing everyone a delicious melty slice of pizza, they gave them this. The manufacturers note that like most refreshing beverages, the drink "... is also good as a salad dressing."
