My bad. I originally thought you didn't need a code. The promotion is still available to anybody without the personalized flyer, but you have to visit physically in store.

Back in May, following up on WES 2009 where I had the chance to meet some representatives of Indosat, I ran a post on the blogs in regards to the explosive growth of BlackBerry use in Indonesia. Just yesterday, CNN posted the above video which gives a first-hand look at the crushing dominance of BlackBerry in the region. Check it out!

CNN on the BlackBerry Boom in Indonesia
Is that an essex or a bold 9700 that I spotted @ around half way through.
In most emerging markets where internet access is not readily available everywhere, the BlackBerry solution fills that niche very well in several ways;
1)phone calls
3)txt,mms via BBM, 3rd party chat messenger & emails
5)Cost i.e with a BB data plan you can do all of the above & more without having to subscribe to additional data package because in majority of emerging market subscribers are pre-paid customers
blackberry is not successful due to the bad internet, it's a potent mix of vanity, trend, and the sheer number of the existing user base. replacing the previous must-be-seen-with-one trophy phone, nokia E90 series (it was launched first in indonesia before any other country, it was that successful).
8300 series selling at 300 usd is still 3 month minimum wage for most people and the monthly fee is at least 10% of minimum monthly wage. blackberry is far from being a mass market device in indonesia. but, the middle-up market is a different story altogether. probably more than half of all smartphones sold in indonesia is a blackberry. in total about a million strong blackberry users, but still less than 1% of the population.
the other 99% of the market is probably cornered by sub $100 barebone phones.
Atika Shubert :) big fan of her :)
and yeah, blackberries is the winners in here. iPhone just for the snobs.
everyone watch the next video about the outage last week. we are mentioned in it!
$15 per month for the unlimited BIS plan, they even have per day and per week prepaid BIS plan!!! and now they going to launch BIS Lite, less than $1 per day for all BIS services except web browsing!
It's true, everywhere I go 80% of the people I know in Jakarta is using blackberry, it becomes a "must-have" device for them, I even know there are quite big junior high school kids is using blackberry. I guess its because RIM doesn't have exclusivity with 1 network only thus every network is waging a bb service war, and the service is super cheap, dailu unlimited use for 50 cents and monthly around $15, u can't get that anywhere else.
BB in Indonesian market growth occurs naturally, and the market was probably not RIM's priority. The initiative to provide service centers, came from Indonesian government and not from RIM. Pity for that.
Nokia hurts the most here, especially for their high-end products. Although Nokia introduced ovi email, free chat, etc., it is not yet supported by operator's cheap data plan like blackberry did. So Nokia will lose its overall leadership here if they don't collaborate with local operators to provide cheap data plan, although now that they provide services like BB.
This is also a gentle reminder for international developers to localize their applications to Indonesian market needs at local price (yes 5 dollar application is still considered expensive here) and for local developers to create a more local-content applications.
In general people living in big cities here in indonesia are considered as impulsive buyers, whatever new here is good; Love to go with so called 'trends' and it's the reason why so common to see young students of say grade 3 and above using blackberry devices including the high end ones.
Social networking phenomenon drives this a lot, it's not unusual to find blackberry users who doesn't even know how to use emails, stay with blackberry for only Instant messaging (BBM, YM) and facebook apps.
But hey, RIM is happy about this and so are telco operators, and we as users are also happy!
Go blackberry!
I'm working for a multinational mobile phone company in Indonesia, and almost all of the mobile phone team members use BlackBerry. It's crazy and ironic. Although the sales of BB is not as skyrocketing as it used to, the trend of using BBM, push email and social networking is becoming a MUST for your social status.
They're even developing custom applications for the Indonesian market, from promotion-notifying application to taxi dialing service. It's true when the girl says in the video, cause many of my friends use BlackBerry, the usage of BB is somewhat more convenient to reach them, esp. when it costs relatively cheap compared to SMS and GPRS data rate.
I was skeptical of BB the first time, and decided to get a Curve 8520 which is designed for amateur users. The device keeps growing on me and I can't stop thumbing (a common term for Indonesian BB users).
i live here and i cant deny all those mentioned in the news. lol.
i am just lil bit sad i wasnt there when they took that shot! hey i went there quite often, when did they take thaat?! :D
Indonesia always known as a "mad" phone market. When I went there summer last year and this year, there were lots of people using BlackBerry over there, even students! And that is not only high school, but also elementary! Think it's also because the attitudes over there are impulse and consumptive.

in the end, the indonesian market is still a bastard child that RIM never intended to conceive. uhh... that came out a bit strange. supported by the fact that there is not a single RIM representative office in indonesia. and close to non-existant official after sales support. service is provided only to the provider branded devices, which is at most 15-20% of the devices in the market.
simply put, RIM won a goddamned lottery here.
Well, social networking is the on-going trend in Indonesia...and surely, Blackberry makes the world even smaller..
I have used BB 1 year ago instead of Nokia. Yeah BB was more powerfull than Nokia. The device was good in reliability,everyday use,best browser even for long duration,the sound is the best.
But there is 1 one minus,quality for network system still not stabil for steaming purpose.
Good job.
RIM should launch new product in here first....it will be big boom sale...like Nokia launch E90 cimmunicator first in here... 90% of my friend change his/her device with BB...crazy huh>????the rest is soon....
oww.one thing again...hey kevin since indonesia is the most growth market for BB...i think you should serve Crackberry.com in indonesian language...so....many ppl in here can shop in crackberry.com.... lol...
Blackberry national boom started since early this year, where has CNN been? Oh my... Yet when it comes to news that affects lesser people than blackberry does, CNN is quick to catch on to thwart Indonesian tourism. I smell conspiracy.
The starting block is the BBM feature is that keeps it going. Once it hits certain number of users, then the critical mass effect takes over. BBM empowers one to gossip anytime anywhere.
That gossip and narcissm spills to facebook. Blackberry enable one to be online almost 24 hours. Somehow when one is connected via blackberry plan, the connection is that much more stable than plain GPRS/3.5G. Thus people can update their facebook status more often than necessary.
The complement is that Blackberry compresses data sent over the network, thus the laggy nature of mobile operators doesn't affect Blackberry users that much.
So, the early adopters, of course, are due to vanity. The rest are educated buyers that is affected by the critical mass.
It'd be hard for anyone to displace Blackberry in Indonesia since they'll have to introduce somesort of BBM alike, but that won't promise the maker a healthy rebound.
Previously, people tend to change phones due to design. Nowadays, they'll simply upgrade to the latest blackberry devices.
That's great for blackberry...CASH and riches...Hey, maybe they can bring the price down a bit because the phone costs way---toooo much in my opinion, for the record I have a blk-8900 Rim.
Try to drop it by accident (on thick carpet, with a monaco book-case) my phone hasn't act right sense!!
I will say I do love my phone but sometimes I think about whether to buy another brand but have invested in apps and games, so I am stuck for the moment.
Also, maybe they will stop being stingy on the cases that come with the blkberry rim, when you first get it. It's terrible, I had a copper "shadow" phone a couple years back it came with a case you would call or write your friends about. So, lets show some appreciation to your customers, who make you RICH.
Also, "Happy New Year", all!

Rated 4 out of 5 by Buyer2306 Soft, Silky, Comfortable This neck wallet is expected to take me on a European vacation with money and ID intact. It is soft and silky next to the skin, which means it is comfortable and conforms to the body's shape. This is light years better than some neck wallets that are supposed to be "hidden," but easily show their stiffness even through clothes. The main drawback is that no pocket is RFID, thus ID and credit cards still are vulnerable to thieves with the latest technology. January 11, 2015

A female that has a group of pre-pubescent 12 year old runescape playing nerd boys in the grasp of her hand. She tends to grope their nuts over the internet while they follow her every word and command. Symptoms of being a Kodie Follower include speaking with such accents that cause you to type the word "Don't" as "Dun." Many phrases used by the kodie kult are "Dun Hate", "Y hate", and the infamous "U drank 2 much haterade today." Kodie also allegedly admits she is a spoiled cuntfuck who refuses to get a job because her parents have loads of money. Kodie Kult followers fail to realize she has a penis. Pinkpanzy3 is Kodie's first disciple, and attempts to spread word of her whoren- I mean greatness. Followers of Kodie will never see a vagina.
Kodie: Give me all your money in rs, I require it.

Basically, i decided that i wanted to give myself an ultimate challenge in Fm10, something which would give me huge satisfaction and make me feel like iv'e really achieved something on the game, as opposed to "winnin the league with liverpool" or "winnin the champions league with madrid spendin £90million", which nearly anybody can do.
I decided to push my home town Runcorn Linnets into the BSN as a challenge, i edited nothing else like budget or linked clubs, and set about on starting a new game.
The Squad
What to say... Runcorn are currently north west counties, and the squad certainly reflects this... even if half of them are just regens. None of the players are capable of playing at BSN standard, and first thing i did was set about releasing every single player in order to free up my wage budget, and confirmed to the board that i would be "bravely fighting relegation". To my shock horror, at this point i realised the board were only providing me with a wage budget of £500 and wernt budging, and at this point i realised just how hard this was about to become.
The club has a crippling 750k debt which is being payed back at 5k a month which sounds very little, but trust me this adds up, and as explained above my wage budget was duly restricted because of this to just 500.
I loaded the french leagues, but due to the complete lack of any reputation held by the linnets, i found it increasingly hard to attract any sort of half decent talent, and after much thought, i accepted that i was going to play a 4-1-2-2-1 formation, with one holdin mid, 2 centre mids, AML AMR and a centre forward. I knew that under no circumstances would i be able to attract the calibre of players to be able to become a lower league Arsenal style team, so straight away i set my sights on signin three hard working midfielders with high work rate, teamwork and stamina in order to get in the oppositions faces and close them down, even if they couldnt kick a ball. My deep defensive line meant i could sign slow defenders as strikers rarely will get behind me as the line drops as soon as posession is lost, and i set my sights on signing big strong aerial centre backs to keep the middle tight. Together this with 2 tricky wingers, Shabbazz Baidoo and Benoit Lestavel, i felt like the team was taking shape. Unfortunately, things didn't work out like that. The plan of big aerial defenders didnt work, and in the end i signed anybody i could get in the 2 centre back positions, and a random goalkeeper just to be able to field a side.
Season 2009/2010
The season started really hit and miss. Throw in a couple of 4-0 defeats, and a few last minute goals conceded resulting in losses, and i could tell it was going to be a long hard season. Nevertheless, 10 points from 10 games and i was hovering around 17th and was reasonably pleased i wasn't rock bottom. My captain Scot Wells epitimised the hard work ethic i based my team around, and i knew that providing that i kept a clean bill of health i stood a minimal chance of keeping the team up. However, due to my budget, i could only sign 11 players, and unfortunately as injuries and suspensions developed, i found myself in games playing 4 or 5 greyed-out players and as a result suffered the consequences in terms of results. Mid season however, things picked up, the defence tightened up and the goals started coming, via a great loan signing by the name of Rory Boulding who was scoring for fun. My January, i found myself sitting 12th, and was even looking 10 points ahead at the playoffs, wondering what if. Together with this, i had a great FA Cup run which saw us progress unexpectedly to the First round to draw exeter at home which had a great day for us financially even though we lost the game 1-0, despite that moral was extremely high. I was however, about to come back to earth with a big bang.
Boulding got injured, Wells was out of form and my wingers weren't cutting it. Added to that, the defence was picking up suspensions and greyed out players in defence somehow don't provide the strong hardmanship i had earlier in the season. After january, i won only 3 games, and survived in the end by just 8 points which was only achieved as Boulding came back from injury to rescue my season.
Season Summary
I survived... and that was my primary aim. Together with this, i kept a tight budget and managed to get my bank balance to around 50k, after a board takeover cleared the debt. I knew that the next season, deep down i really wanted to win promotion, or at least challenge for the playoffs, but realistically i would just be greatful to survive. With a nice balance though, and the new director approving of Wigan Athletic as a parent club, i looked to next season for progression, and the plan for me was to once again survive, increase the bank balance even more so in my third season i would be able to afford good players and force a title push.
Final Position 17th in BSN.

On the first page of Milnor-Kervaire's paper "Bernoulli numbers, homotopy groups, and a theorem of Rohlin", they assert without proof or reference that if $M$ is a compact connected oriented differentiable $4$-manifold such that $w_2(M)=0$, then $M$ is almost parallelizable, that is, for all $x_0 \in M$ the tangent bundle of $M \setminus x_0$ is trivial. Try as I might, I cannot figure out how to prove this. Can someone help me?
You want to trivialise the restriction of the tangent bundle to the 3-skeleton of $M$. Since $\pi_0 O(4) = \pi_1 O(4) = Z/2$, there are obstructions $w_1(E) \in H^1(X; Z/2)$ and $w_2(E) \in H^2(X;Z/2)$ to trivialising a rank 4 bundle over the 1- and 2-skeleta of a cell complex $X$. Because $\pi_2 O(4)$ is trivial, there is no further obstruction to extending a trivialisation from the 2-skeleton to the 3-skeleton. This is outlined in a nice way at the beginning of chaper 3 in Hatcher's book on vector bundles.


text:
An old splitting theorem for (Hausdorff) locally compact abelian (LCA) groups says that any LCA group $L$ is isomorphic to a direct product of $\mathbb{R}^n$ and $L_1$, where $L_1$ contains a compact-open subgroup (this factorization is unique up to isomorphism of $L_1$).
Taking $L = L_1\times\mathbb{R}^n$ as above, we have the following properties:
(i) There is no embedding of $\mathbb{R}^n$, or any closed subgroup of $\mathbb{R}^n$, into $L_1$.
(ii) If $f:\mathbb{R}^n\to L_1$ and $g:L_1\to\mathbb{R}$ are continuous homomorphisms, then $fg$ is trivial.
Does anyone happen to know if the following generalization has been studied, or if there are some other known examples:
An additive category $\mathcal{C}$ such that every object $A$ can be expressed as a product $A = B\times C$ where:
(i') There is no embedding of any sub-object of $C$ into $B$.
(ii') If $f:B\to C$ and $g:C\to B$ are morphisms, then $fg$ is trivial (maps onto the zero-object).
EDIT: Reworded in terms of additive categories, not abelian.

A time ago I offered help for newbies and experienced NN Users.
My offer still stands. It is nice for me to share experiences and questions that arise using the NN Equipment.
And trying to help newbies on the road. This might help Bill and Nick, our distributors and resellers as well to stay on top of the list for Panoheads and service.
Once again, anybody having problems in NL to use NN Equipment and find out settings or having problems with stitching - PTGuiPro - might contact me and meet me in the Hague on a friday afternoon or at the weekend. You can also have a look at the whole range of NN equipment from NN3 - M1-L, R1, complete PoleSeries and accessories and test all of it with your own equipment. Our Nikon Friends can try a lot of lenses as well, Fisheyes 10.5 shaved, 16mm, Sigma 8mm/f3.5 and Samyang 8mm/f3.5 besides others. In case you think of stepping over to a new body, you can try my Nikon Equipment during this meeting. Ask me for the body. No D800/E or D4 available. I will try to answer your questions about rubber rings, washers etc that come with your equipment and check the equipment you bought form your local dealer for everything you need. Including new Nikon camera Plates.
For nothing, the only thing you have to spend is your time to visit me. My input to get you on the road.

There are a few apps (like Rescuetime) that track what you're doing with your computer. And there are some tools that can help you when you decide you want to eliminate distrcations (StayFocused Chrome plugin), Selfcontrol. And approaches that can help too (e.g. Pomodoro, full-screen emacs).
What I'd like help with more specifically is fragmentation. Too often I find that when I am performing a difficult task (writing, coding), my brain wants to switch off by moving to other tasks (eg email/internet/etc - which sometimes are legit, but often are unnecessary).
I would like to be constrained so that I keep my focus on my app, but when I try to switch apps (using command-tab), this starts a 5 minute timer & returns me to my document. At the end of the 5 minute timer a popup asks me if I still want to switch apps (if I still feel the need to).

Only fitting since local 1190 closed the door on steel production in the Ohio Valley. I have no idea where this union thought it had the expertise to determine who should own the now closed plants nor can I figure out how they came up with this power but bottom line is they had the power but no expertise and so it's good riddance to 1190 at S 3rd Street. If Mountain State Carbon employees had any sense they'd get rid of USW altogether.

At center of state title run
SOUTHBURY — "What's a Pomperaug?" That was the question Prince Tech players asked Dave Grant and his teammates before their Class M semifinal in 1980. The Hartford team learned the answer in a one-point overtime loss: Pomperaug was a great basketball team.
The Panthers from Southbury already knew as much. Some of them had decided as sophomores they could win a state championship if they stuck together and worked hard enough.
There was senior Chris Metcalf, a versatile 6-foot-7 center. There was Jackie Worgan, the senior point guard with a knack for making clutch plays.
Another senior, Charlie Flaherty, provided a spark off the bench. And the junior class contributed sweet-shooting forward Matt Hummel and Brian Worgan, who teamed with his older brother to form a harassing backcourt.
"I was blessed to have an extremely talented team," said coach John Somero.
The anchor of it all was Grant, a 6-5 senior with basketball wisdom beyond his years who had been starting since his first day in the program.
He began as a guard, but was moved to the front line as he grew. Still, he retained his ability to shoot from the outside and handle the ball. And Grant's pairing with Metcalf produced a dominating inside duo.
The Panthers' goals were to win the old Western Connecticut Conference, which they had only joined the year before, and a state championship.
The WCC title proved elusive after Metcalf missed 12 games after injuring his ankle. Even without him, the Panthers reached the WCC final, where they lost to Newtown, 70-64.
Metcalf returned, ahead of schedule, for the state tournament. But Pomperaug, which was forced to adjust to his absence, now had to adjust again. In the Region II final, Notre Dame of Fairfield, with its own twin towers in Brian Shaffer and John Gildea, handed the Panthers a 77-67 loss.
The state tournament format was different in those days. Both teams from a regional final advanced to the state quarterfinals. So the Panthers' dream still lived.
It survived against Woodrow Wilson of Middletown, 68-64, and Prince Tech, 73-72. That set up a rematch with Notre Dame in what would become the greatest game in school history.
The first quarter was tied, 13-13, and the game was back-and-forth. With 3:27 to play in regulation, Notre Dame led by three.
Grant rallied the Panthers and gave Pomperaug a 57-53 lead with 1:15 to go. But Notre Dame's Shaffer hit two jumpers in the final minute and the game headed to overtime.
In the first three-minute overtime, Notre Dame scored first and went to a four-corner delay to eat up the remainder of the clock. But with a half-minute left, Metcalf swiped a pass and drove the length of the floor for the tying layup.
"Back then, you got ahead and tried to stall. Both teams did; it was a cat-and-mouse game," said Grant.
On to the second overtime, where Notre Dame scored first, but Brian Worgan answered for Pomperaug. Grant's basket with 58 seconds left put Pomperaug ahead for good, 64-61.
This time, the Panthers resorted to the stall, forcing the Lancers to foul. But Jackie Worgan and Grant both converted one-and-ones in the final minute for a 68-65 win and Pomperaug celebrated its first and only state championship.
"I remember standing at the foul line, looking behind me and seeing Jackie and Brian dancing," said Grant, who tied Metcalf with 15 points and was named the tournament MVP.
Incredibly, all five starters averaged in double figures in scoring. Grant, Metcalf (Marist) and Hummel (Colby) all went on to play in college. Hummel became a Division III All-American.
Grant initially went to Hartford, but transferred to Rider, where he was on the Broncs' first NCAA team in 1984. He finished his Pomperaug career with a school-record 1,377 points.
"Chris finished with 993. If he hadn't gotten injured, he would have scored all those points," noted Grant, now 51, a sales rep for DiGiorgi Roofing and Siding who lives in Waterbury with his wife of 21 years, Gina. He has four children and one grandchild.

" I was very humbled to be selected for this honor. However how can one really select one all time best? All the players mentioned were great player but could have been greater individually had they not had such great supporting teammates. In my opinion every player on the starting five of the 1979-1980 basketball team were the best ever at their respective positions which is why it was and is the greatest boys basketball TEAM to ever come out of Pomperaug. And of course no disrespect to any of the other players mentioned this is just my opinion. "

I always look forward to the first Conference of the year and this years conference did not disappoint! I'm always excited to see participants from past years, friends, the Mad Dogg Athletics Team, and fellow presenters.
But, this year's presenting had a new twist for me, Team Sessions! We introduced these sessions last year with rave reviews but, my first experience was ECA this past weekend. One word: Amazing!
In "Tore Up From the Floor Up", students got a chance to try out equipment they otherwise wouldn't have tried, they learned from not just 1 but, 5 presenters, and they experienced the dynamic energy from a roomful of people! It was crazy fun and everyone went away buzzing with new ideas and energy.
The most eventful session of the weekend was our 2nd "Tore Up From The Floor Up" - same energy, same great feedback and fun from the participants - but, unfortunately Connie Borho broke her foot just before going on! My teammates are amazing...Kathryn didn't skip a beat teaching, Zoey went for medical assistance, while I stayed with Connie. Then, Zoey stepped in for Connie without hesistation...and created a rock-solid power circle sample for everyone to enjoy!
To top off the day, Connie still had one more session so, I was honored to be her assistant and "body" for the session - what a treat!
I am proud to be a part of this amazing Mad Dogg Athletics team - thank you Ben, JJ, Natalie, Zoey, Connie, Kathryn, and Abbey for an unforgettable event.

5 'Modern' Medical Procedures (Are Thousands of Years Old)
#2. Tracheotomies and Intubation
You probably know that when surgeons slice through the windpipe to open an airway that has otherwise been blocked, it's called a tracheotomy. Often it's followed by the insertion of a tube so the patient can breathe again.
Call us squeamish, but if there's one place we don't want to get sliced, it's the stump connecting our head to our body. It's the neck, for crap's sake -- the body part every knife-wielding hostage-taker goes for when he wants everyone to back the hell off. What we're saying is, if you're going to let somebody mess with that region, they'd better be kissing it softly or a surgeon with a large pile of sterile equipment on hand.
Not "something kind of pointy" that's located "next to my spit cup."
The Brilliance:
Not only did ancient civilizations understand, practice and perfect the art of the tracheotomy, it was actually one of the first surgical procedures invented. An Egyptian clay tablet portrayed a version of the tracheotomy in 3600 B.C. It wasn't even a medical description, it was just a picture, because 3600 B.C. was before the invention of writing. That's how long ago doctors figured out that you could cut the neck to reach the trachea to save a life.
Translation: "We'll give you five bucks if you choke both of our chickens."
India had a version of the procedure documented by 2000 B.C., and the surgery was so well known by Hippocrates' time that he condemned it, thanks to the likelihood that you could cut open an artery while performing it. Instead, he recommended a tracheal intubation, which is the one where you stick a tube in the neck of the poor sucker you're trying to save. In 160 A.D. a Greek doctor made intubation, or the tracheostomy, sound as much fun as a trip to the carnival:
"If you take a dead animal and blow air through its larynx (through a reed), you will fill its bronchi and watch its lungs attain the greatest dimension."
"And you can make a wicked bong out of their heads."
But even with thousands of years of practice, by 1800 the medical community had fewer than 50 lifesaving tracheotomies on record. Hey, we didn't say it was easy.
#1. Root Canals
Usually when you picture oral health care from days of yore, something like this comes to mind:
Via All-art.org
"Ten florins says I can get a loogie into his mouth from here."
Enlisting friends to hold you down and/or beat you with sticks while a barber (yes, a barber, not a dentist -- see the scissors in the background) twists out the rotten tooth with sheer muscle power. If you were lucky, your friends had some alcohol on them and the kid holding a lit candle to your face didn't trip. If you were unlucky, well, your gaping gum hole probably got infected and you died. But the barber could trim up your beard before your family identified the body, so that was good.
Which was why sporting even half a mouth of teeth by age 30 wasn't just a major accomplishment, it would have been a miracle. After all, the smartest people in the world believed tooth decay was caused by a "tooth worm" squirming around and beating the shit out of your tooth nerves for the fun of it.
Via Dentalassistant.net
Luckily, we now know that they're caused by tooth demons.
The sophisticated techniques they have today like root canals (where they can use precision instruments to carefully extract the nerve from inside the tooth) would have seemed like goddamned magic to these savages.
The Brilliance:
Actually, despite thinking there were literal worms jacking up their tooth holes, someone in 200 B.C. figured out how to perform root canals. We know that because archaeologists found the remnants of the procedure in the jaw of a Jordanian soldier.
Via Clinical Endodontics: A Textbook
Along with these ancient X-rays.
Keep in mind, in order to perform this procedure, the dentist has to understand what the inside of the tooth looks like, whether it's worth hollowing out and preserving, or if it would just be better to pull the bastard out. So when an Israeli archaeologist noticed a green stain on a tooth of the skull of a soldier buried in a mass grave from 200 B.C., he probably thought he was just looking at some particularly stubborn plaque.
It was not.
He was looking at the stain from a copper wire one-tenth of an inch long, which had been inserted into the soldier's tooth, probably in order to deaden the pain of the three apparent abscesses and probable cyst later found by a dental anthropologist (which is totally not a made-up career, by the way). In all likelihood, when the ancient dentist pulled out the nerve from the tooth, he thought he was pulling out the "worm." Either way, in the process he performed a full on modern day root canal.
Just taking a wild guess here, but we're betting it looked nothing like this.
We can only hope the afflicted soldier appreciated him for it.

Sencha page to create custom builds
Can Sencha consider setting up a web page to do custom builds of ExtJS (and maybe Touch)? You know the kind of thing: check boxes for the components you need, then click 'Generate' and it builds you a custom minified JS file you can include in your project. jQuery UI has something like this.
I know the Cmd toolset can do this, but it has lots of dependencies. I personally don't have Java, Ruby, Compass etc on my box. I spent an hour setting it all up, and then decided it would be easier to take ext-all.js and start chopping

New sport creates buzz at Wamogo
LITCHFIELD — They are the new kid on a rapidly expanding block that used to belong to the prep schools. Wamogo tangled with Watertown on Thursday, a rare meeting between two neighboring school districts, but this was in lacrosse, a sport exploding in popularity. It wasn't long ago that a reference to laxmen mistakenly meant the unmotivated. These days, however, people know who laxmen are and lacrosse is bringing many schools together.

Together with Windows Azure or a Microsoft Service Provider, you can also create advanced hybrid cloud deployment scenarios where seasonal spikes in demand can be easily managed through the public cloud.
Our web-based tool provides a quick comparison of the TCO and benefits of deploying a Microsoft hybrid cloud vs. a VMware private cloud solution for your new workloads; or migrating your existing VMware workloads. Check it out!
The Microsoft Test Lab Guide (TLG) provides you with step-by-step instructions to create the Windows Base Configuration test lab, using computers running Windows 8.1 or Windows Server 2012 R2 Preview, With the resulting test lab environment, you can build test labs based on other Windows Server 2012 R2 Preview-based TLGs from Microsoft, TLG extensions in the TechNet Wiki, or a test lab of your own design that can include Microsoft or non-Microsoft products.
For a test lab based on physical computers, you can image the drives for future test labs. For a test lab based on virtual machines, you can create snapshots of the base configuration virtual machines. This enables you to easily return to the base configuration test lab, where most of the routine infrastructure and networking services have already been configured, so that you can focus on building a test lab for the product, technology, or solution of interest.

I still remember the magic of touching my first fibre HBA. Releasing the server form the shackles of SCSI chaining and throughput issues. It seems like a long time ago, but improvement continues to march on and one of our teams just released a nice article called the "Hyper-V Virtual Fibre Channel Design Guide" written by Microsoft Consulting Services Senior Consultant, Jason Dinwiddie. Be sure to check it out. Definitely worth the short read. See http://technet.microsoft.com/en-us/library/hh831531.aspx for other articles on Hyper-V.
As we set out to further invest in Windows Server 2012 R2 Essentials, we wanted to build upon the great primary server experience that exists today with Windows Server 2012 Essentials, while at the same time providing a new level of flexibility in terms of how your server can be deployed. The Windows Server Essentials team is excited to announce the availability of the Windows Server 2012 R2 Essentials Preview, and the Windows Server Essentials Experience server role for the Windows Server 2012 R2 Standard and Datacenter editions!

SMB is getting a lot of attention with Windows Server 2012, and we've had questions from a few customers regarding the inter-play between SMB shares and Hyper-V Replica. In this post we'll share our experience around setting up and using various configurations involving SMB shares and Hyper-V Replica. The issue we were expecting to run into is the apparent lack of authorization to use the SMB share, when using remote management.

Windows 8.1 will advance the bold vision set forward with Windows 8 to deliver the next generation of PCs, tablets, and a range of industry devices, and the experiences customers — both consumers and businesses alike — need and will just expect moving forward. It's Windows 8 even better. Not only will Windows 8.1 respond to customer feedback, but it will add new features and functionality that advance the touch experience and mobile computing's potential. Windows 8.1 will deliver improvements and enhancements in key areas like personalization, search, the built-in apps, Windows Store experience, and cloud connectivity. Windows 8.1 will also include big bets for business in areas such as management and security – we'll have more to say on these next week at TechEd North America.

Hyper-V 3.0 in many ways is the crown jewel of our enterprise virtualization and private cloud strategy and is the heart of where many of the improvements in our flagship Server OS reside. So we should probably talk about what has improved since our previous Hyper-V releases, and what you can do with our hypervisor technology out of the box in Windows Server 2012 today.

FAYETTEVILLE, Ark. - The Charlotte women's cross country team capped off the 24th Annual Chile Pepper Festival with a 14th place finish, shortly after the men's team finished 18th, earlier Saturday afternoon at the University of Arkansas cross country course in Fayetteville, Arkansas.
The Niners made their first-ever appearance in the meet, which has grown to become a premier event over the years.
Charlotte had a chance to see some future Conference USA mates at the meet, as well as Atlantic 10 foes, and several top programs in the nation.
Arkansas won the 6K event on the women's side with a team score of 58, placing all its runners in the top 35.
Charlotte finished with a team score of 410. Senior Hana Sutchar was first for the 49ers, crossing the line with a mark of 22:48.4 to finish 72nd out of 340 runners. Sutchar lowered her time in the 6K on Saturday, which was previously 23:16.26 at the Charlotte Invitational.
Jenna Christensen followed close by and was 75th (22:49.3) as Maria Ruiz clocked a time of 22:58.6 to place 82nd. Morgan Richards was 86th, capping a time of 23:03.1 and Jen Molke was 95th (23:09.0).
"It was great to see the women improve from the Charlotte Invitational," said Head coach Ed Schlichter. "There was also a better effort from the top five in means of the time gap. I still think we're capable of improving a lot but it was good to see them beat several Conference USA teams that we'll see next year."
Oklahoma State, who is ranked second in the Men's Cross Country National Coaches' Poll, won the 10K race with a team score of 20, placing all of its runners in the top 15.
Charlotte, who ran its first 10K of the season, tabbed a team score of 496 and was led by sophomore Zach Greth who was 59th (32:38.5) out of a field of 313.
Getisso Dentamo was second for the 49ers, finishing 74th with a time of 32:52.7. Chris Anderson was 104th (33:20.0) followed by Michael Tamayo (33:44.5). John Felts rounded out Charlotte's top five with a time of 33:52.4
"The men started out the best I've seen all year but we're able to compete in the middle of the race which gave up too many spots," explained Schlichter. We fell short of some of our goals today but we get another shot at the 10K distance at regionals so at least today we will make the Atlantic 10 Championship feel super short."
Charlotte will take the next week off to prep for the A10 Championship on Saturday, Oct. 27, beginning at 10:30 a.m. in Philadelphia.

The 10 Most Baffling Computer Gadgets Money Can Buy
Even after including all of the items we actually need in our lives, computer catalogs still have many pages left to fill. Fortunately, there is an entire industry working hard to invent useless and downright asinine devices, in the hopes that someone will accidentally buy them.
Such as:
#10. USB Mouse Jiggler
The USB Mouse Jiggler is a USB device that you plug into your computer. The device 'jiggles' your mouse around every few minutes so the sleep mode or screen saver doesn't come on, presumably so you can snooze in front of your computer and still look like you're working.
Why It's Pointless
Inventing gadgets for the lazy man is what makes America great (hell, we use Segways on our treadmills) but paying $30 for something that replaces 10 seconds worth of mouse clicking (the amount of time it would take you to adjust the sleep mode timer) is on a whole different level of laziness. This is on the level of hiring a guy to operate your TV remote for you.
#9. USB Eye Massager
The eye massager is a peripheral shaped like two fingers ready to attempt a Three Stooges-style eye poking. So it makes perfect sense that they'd sell it as a USB device meant to be used around your eyes. It has two distinct vibrating settings: high speed, (which we're assuming is fatal since it would vibrate right into your brain) and low speed (which, while not fatal, probably causes major retinal damage and subsequent blindness).
On the upside, according to the creators, this is pretty much mankind's greatest invention ever. Not only does it soothe your aching eyeballs, it also relieves tension in the central nervous system, aids digestion, stimulates the lymphatic system and fights against infection by boosting your immune system. The creators are already working on a USB back massager that cures cancer.
Why It's Pointless
Before you enthusiastically plunge this device into you eye socket, consider this: why on Earth should you risk blindness when you could just use your own fingers to massage your eyeballs? We aren't entirely convinced by the creators' claims about the devices' supposed magical healing capabilities either. We're not saying they're lying (legally we can't), we're just saying they have something in common with Pinocchio (i.e. both are fucking liars). If you're still considering buying this, then we urge you to take the price into account. We can assure you that there is a multitude of less expensive ways to blind yourself such as peppering the eyeball or a good old-fashioned eye stabbing.
#8. Aroma USB
The Aroma USB is a USB-powered air freshener that sends wafts of sweet scents around to counter any offensive odors. The website boasts that the device is "preloaded with fragrance" (unlike those irritating air fresheners that you have to load with fragrance yourself) and comes in an assortment of colors.
Why It's Pointless
OK, it's at this point we have to stop and ask just how many free USB ports they think people have on their machines. We've already got a keyboard, mouse, printer and a thumb drive crammed in there. Why in the world would we sacrifice another slot for a USB gadget that shouldn't need to be powered at all.
Scented candles and other air fresheners carry out the exact same task without wasting one of the limited USB slots in your computer that could be used for more important devices like that USB fondue set you've had your eye on.
The Aroma USB seems to be primarily aimed at businesses, though we think that most businesses would be more focused on making money than shelling out thousands of dollars on scented computer peripherals. The company dares to ask the question, "Isn't a scented USB stick with no RAM better than a boring normal USB stick?" And we dare to answer, "No, not in the slightest."
#7. USB Humping Dog
The USB humping dog is possibly the most hilarious USB device ever. It's a USB drive shaped like a dog, but that's not all. When you plug it in, it begins to rhythmically thrust into your USB port in a hilarious imitation of a dog humping. It comes in two different colors: brown and black. It can also ... eh ... did we mention how hilarious it is?
As you can hear, the sound is not at all annoying and it's so quiet you can only hear it from, like, four or five cubicles away.
Yes, we can't wait until the douchebag at the next workstation over gets one of these so we can hear that mechanical clicking sound for hours on end while he giggles his ass off.
Why It's PointlessIt's actually not if your point is to trigger an office shooting spree.
#6. Dutch Dead Bbudd Speakers
Those crazy Dutchmen have taken a break from their drug-trafficking and prostitute peddling to design some unnerving new computer devices. Here we have a speaker system described as a "little dead desktop buddy," which is a doll dressed in gimp-style black leather, with X's for eyes (typically denoting death) with speakers integrated in the soles of the feet. Hey, why not.
Why It's Pointless
The speakers actually have pretty low-quality audio, so it appears the company was relying on the novelty of a sound-generating S&M teddy bear to sell the item--a pretty frightening idea when you think about it. Actually, it's probably best not to.

It's almost spring. Okay, maybe that's pushing it a little bit, but you're starting to think about ditching the puffy coat and snow boots in favor of shorts and sandals. You can plan your seasonal purchases on Svpply's new Android app.
Lets you create and shop collections of things you might want, like high-top sneakers or snapback hats.
We liked Svpply on iOS, and we like it on Android, because it makes it super easy to buy the clothes and accessories you have your eye on.

And since shopping is better with your friends, you can pull in your pals from Facebook and Twitter to see the shirts, shoes, and so forth they have on their wish lists. See something you like?

Lilly Oncology on Canvas
Last Modified: July 15, 2008
Lilly Oncology on Canvas: Expressions of a Cancer Journey is an art competition and exhibition created in 2004 to honor the journeys people face when confronted with a cancer diagnosis. The biennial competition invites people diagnosed with any type of cancer, their families, friends, caregivers, and healthcare providers to express, through art and narrative, the life-affirming changes that give their cancer journey meaning. The result is a unique and touching art collection that affords people around the world the opportunity to view the universal range of emotions of a cancer journey, such as fear, hope, sorrow, relief, and courage.
Lilly Oncology on Canvas is presented by Eli Lilly and Company in partnership with the National Coalition for Cancer Survivorship.
Oncology on Canvas was launched in 2004 as a way to honor the journeys undertaken by women when confronted with a cancer diagnosis. The first competition received more than 400 pieces of art from 23 countries. In 2005, the art began a world tour that reached millions of people in more than 100 cities throughout the world.
In 2006, Lilly Oncology on Canvas was opened to anyone impacted by cancer. As a result, more than 2,000 pieces of art – 2,151 in total – from 43 countries were received for the global competition and exhibition.
Entries were received in the categories of: oil, watercolor, acrylic, photography, pastel and mixed media.
The art from the 2006 Lilly Oncology on Canvas competition is currently on a world tour, inspiring and lending hope to people in nearly 200 cities, stopping at cancer centers , hospitals, physician offices, and advocacy group headquarters.
On November 15, 2007, Oncology on Canvas launched its third competition, which is open to all U.S. and Puerto Rico residents. An independent panel of judges, comprised of the art director, cancer survivors, leading oncologists, journalists and representatives from patient advocacy groups will select three top prize winners in the competition. Prizes consist of money donated directly to the cancer charity of the winners' choice.

Cooking and catering Guide Bergen
Get Better In The Kitchen With This Set Of Rules
Becoming a good cook isn't as hard as you probably think it is. Experimenting in the kitchen while developing your skills and strengths is part of becoming a good cook. You can use this advice to help expand your comfort-zone and begin building a reputation as an excellent cook. Expand your limited cooking skills quickly with the following advice. Help and catering/cooking buffets and finger food(fingermat) tips given by selskapslokaler tapas catering in Bergen.
Always keep your spices away from light in a cool place. When spices are exposed to light and heat, they lose their flavor and it reduces their storage life. Keeping your spices in darkened, cool areas will lend extra longevity and flavor. You'll taste the difference in your dishes.
Boiling and other lengthy cooking processes remove some of the vital nutrients contained in vegetables. In order to retain their most important attributes, opt for steamed, sauteed or even raw vegetables.
Are you planning to use freshly picked basil in a recipe? Place fresh basil into a glass. Add water to cover the stems. You can keep basil fresh for weeks on top of your kitchen counter this way. Change the water regularly and roots will grow. Also trim the basil every now and then to facilitate growth. Enjoy fresh basil on a regular basis.
If you cooked with a sauce, save the leftover sauce in an ice cube tray that you can freeze. When you need sauce for another meal, you already have individual portions, ready to grab and reheat in a pan. Nothing to worry about as the sauce will be fine even after it's been sitting in ice cube trays.
Use air tight containers to store baking mixes, flour and sugar. Airtight containers will keep your foods safe from bugs, and allow them to stay fresh longer because they are not exposed to air. Almost every store has some form of them, and they are usually inexpensive.
Beans and tofu are great sources of protein if you need to add some to your diet. Both are easily available to buy at almost every grocery store. Frying the tofu in a low-sodium soy sauce is a tasty alternative to eating meat for dinner! You can boil the beans with some herbs to have a flavorful protein packed meal, side or snack.
Sauteing vegetables is an extremely healthy method of cooking them. Consider adding chicken broth for some added flavor. Broth will flavor the vegetables, and less oil will be needed to saute them. This is an easy, delicious way to prepare veggies for you meal.
It is better to sprinkle your seasoning little by little rather than putting it all on at the start. This method helps to preserve and enhance the flavor of the seasoning instead of allowing it to cook away.
These tips can greatly help your cooking skills. Experiment with each of these ideas at least once. The more frequently you put these ideas to use, the more quickly you can refine your cooking aptitude. You can quickly improve your chef skills if you take the time to try these tips.

Health & Pregnancy
Pregnancy After 40: Healthy Weight Improves Risk
May 9, 2012 -- Pregnancy after 40 does carry more risks, but being at a healthy weight before getting pregnant seems to modify those risks, new research suggests.
"If you are healthy, over 40, and not obese, your risks of pregnancy complications are certainly less than an obese 40-year-old," says researcher John R. Barton, MD, director of maternal-fetal medicine at Central Baptist Hospital in Lexington, Ky. "And [they are] not that much different, other than a higher C-section rate, than a non-obese, younger woman."
He compared obese and non-obese pregnant women in his study. Some were in their 20s. Others were in their 40s.
Obese older women had more complications than older women at healthy weights, he found. Barton presented the findings this week at the annual meeting of the American College of Obstetricians and Gynecologists in San Diego.
While birth rates in younger women have been declining, pregnancy after 40 is on the rise, according to the CDC. From 2008 to 2009, the birth rate for women ages 40 to 44 increased by 3%, to 10.1 births per 1,000 women. That is the highest reported since 1967 for that age bracket.
Pregnancy After 40: Study Details
Barton looked at data on more than 53,000 women. They were enrolled in a pregnancy risk assessment and education program conducted by Alere, a health management and diagnosis company, between July 2006 and August 2011.
Of that total, 1,231 were 40 or older. Of those, 228 were obese.
The women were pregnant for the first time and expecting a single baby. Women with heart disease, high blood pressure, diabetes, or other chronic health conditions were not included in the study.
A body mass index of 25-29.9 is considered overweight. A BMI of 30 or higher is considered obese.
Barton looked at four groups:
- Younger obese women, 20-29, with an average body mass index (BMI) of 35
- Older obese women, average age 41, with an average BMI of 35
- Younger non-obese women, 20-29, with an average BMI of 23
- Older non-obese women, average age 41, with an average BMI of nearly 24
His findings:
- Older women, regardless of weight, were more likely to have C-sections. The obese older women were most likely. More than 69% of them had a C-section, while 55% of the older women at healthy weights did. Among the younger women, 47% of the obese and 28% of those at healthy weights had C-sections.
- Older obese women were most likely to deliver before 37 weeks. The early delivery increases the risk of health problems in the baby.
- Older obese women were three times as likely as older women at healthy weights to have gestational diabetes -- high blood sugar that develops during pregnancy. More than 21% of older obese women had it, compared to less than 7% of older women at healthy weights. Nearly 9% of younger obese women developed it, but less than 4% of younger, healthy-weight women did.
- Obese women in both age groups were more likely to get preeclampsia. In this condition, blood pressure rises and a high level of protein is found in the urine. It can be dangerous if untreated. It was about twice as common in obese women as in the women at healthy weights.

Taste Buds: Tito's Sloppy Doggs
September 12, 2013
It's nothing fancy. In fact, it's downright 'sloppy....
Classic "Buds" review: Go to a hot dog shop and order a chef's salad because you don't like hot dogs...

Nice article. Looks like good food at good prices. But, where is Tito's Sloppy Doggs located?! Would be nice if online articles included addresses and phone numbers. I live in NE Ohio. If I go to the Valley, should I drive all along Elm Grove Road looking for Tito's? Please follow old journalism rule: Who, What, Where, When & Why. Thanks. Pat Shemenski

Can someone explain me in simple words what $\sigma$-additivity is? For example, if we have a probability space ($\Omega$,$\mathcal{F}$,P), what it means that the application $$ B \mapsto P(A\cap B) $$ is $\sigma$-additive over $\mathcal{F}$?
I found it for the first time in probability theory and I don't understand the implication that it has in the theory.
