Is it possible to embed or link to video in an eBay auction listing? I'm following instructions found online to try to embed a YouTube video by checking the "use old embed code" box, which everyone seems to think I need to do because iframes aren't allowed, but I'm still getting a warning from eBay that I won't be able to post my listing because it includes "non-clickable links". Now I'm wondering if eBay changed their link policy to disallow embedded videos sometime after the instructions I'm finding were written, or if I'm just doing it wrong, or what. What's my best option here, and how do I make it work?
I ended up ignoring the warning about not being able to post my listing and clicking the "List it" button anyway, and it seems to have gone through. So maybe the warning was displayed by mistake, and everything is fine? If I discover otherwise, I'll follow up here....
From a policy standpoint, you're likely in the clear.
Navigate to the "Links from an eBay listing" tab in eBay's Links Policy.

text: Well folks, I have a few lessons that will show you guys how easy it can be to draw sometimes complicating parts of the human face easy. To start, lets learn "how to draw easy eyes", step by step. Piercing eyes is among the styles that can be difficult to draw when you want to make a face with enchanting, expressive, or seriousness. I tried my best to create a tutorial that could show you the basics to drawing easy eyes. Now, if you're a beginning artist you might run into a few problems but with enough determination and practice you should be able to overcome such road blocks. Anyways, try the tut out, let me know what you think of it by leaving some feedback, then submit your finished art for others to see. I will return so try to stick around or come back around after school. Peace out.

Another Planet (Paperback)
With a novelist's eye, Elinor Burkett takes readers behind the school system's closed doors, revealing a world of mixed messages, manufactured myths, and political hype.
In the wake of school shootings across the country, one question haunted America: What is going wrong inside our nation's schools? To find out, award-winning journalist Elinor Burkett spent nine months -- from the opening pep rally to graduation day -- in a suburban Minneapolis high school. She attended classes, hung out with students, listened to parents, and joined teachers on the front lines.
She soon discovered that, post-Columbine, fears about loners and misfits, "Smoker's New Year" (a pot holiday), "Zero Tolerance" policies, and school lockdowns have become as much a part of a teen's high school experience as dating and Clearasil. But Burkett goes even deeper and makes some startling conclusions in this poignant expose of the real problems facing educators, parents, and the children they try to teach.
About the Author
Elinor Burkett has worked as a newspaper reporter, university professor, and magazine writer. A Pulitzer Prize nominated journalist and the author of eight previous books, she divides her time between the Catskill Mountains of New York and Bulawayo, Zimbabwe.

Hi Florian (MisterBark),
I actually didn't intend putting this short hand held video on Vimeo but I just thought I'd show you how a section of your brilliant music can make even a crap video seem that much better. For that excellent build up in the music, at the end, I used some shots of the Remagen Bridge towers which are now a Monument and Museum of Peace.
Hey, I really hate it when those UFOs fly across your shot :-) especially when you need to use it.
Fri, 11/02/2012 - 19:43
Really nice UFO at 1:12 :-)
I guess you were shooting from inside through a window, and that is a classic lightbulb?
Anyway, a riverboat seems to be a very nice and smooth camera dolly!
Sat, 11/03/2012 - 14:27
You're dead right there, I never noticed it at the time of filming. It's quite a long clip though, (about 25 seconds) and I just noticed that the tail end is bulb free. Now I've just got to find another 7 sec. clip to get rid of it completely. Might have to cheat and use an outward journey clip and reverse it.
The riverboat?, could not have asked for a better dolly!!
Sat, 11/03/2012 - 15:52
The link has been altered. Thanks for that.
I'm just in the process of removing that little unwanted visitor with two other clips. One is about 3 seconds short of fitting the music properly, so I am making it longer.
I am very glad that you liked it.

This box of tea has an expiration date which has passed but I would like to know if I can still use it. What do you think?
Tea bags will be fine for at least a year in the pantry, but even long after that, they're still safe to consume. They just might change colour or flavour.
If your tea has an expiration date then it's just for best quality, not safety. I've personally found tea bags sitting at the back of the pantry that were more than 3 years old, the packaging had even started to fade, and the tea was still fine. I just had to steep it for a little longer.
I believe they are now putting an expiration for the famous word Profit. Think back, when we were kids that word did not exist. I will agree to the possibility that the flavor may be altered, but spoiled, No!
My neighbor gave me some old boxes of tea she wasn't going to use. I use them to make iced tea. When I threw out one of the boxes, I discovered it had a best if used by date of 1997! That pitcher tasted a little off but it wasn't terrible.
My guess would be yes. Though they might not be as flavorful.
I have never seen any expire dates on tea before, I'll have to look at my tea bags when I get home. I've had them for a while.
Similar to the comments above about "freshness" tea loses it's medicinal qualities as it ages. If you're looking to drink green tea for it's health benefits the quality matters. Green tea that is more than 6 months old has a significant decrease in the amount of beneficial antioxidants the body can absorb. Personally I'm a big fan of loose leaf but if you're going to drink any brand of bagged teas my vote is for Mighty Leaf. They're big on flavor and high in quality.
If you're looking for creative ideas on how to use old tea I've heard they make good fertilizers and also have heard of people using them as air fresheners in their sock drawers.
Yes, it should be fine. I am drinking Japanese green tea right now which has been stored in a tight tin. It was expired in 2009. I heard that green tea is OK to dring after its expired when I was in Japan. However, flavour is definitely not the greatest if you know the real taste. They suggest to keep them in FREEZER if you can.
It's funny to see westerners asking "when does tea go off"? Answer --- it doesn't.
Here in Asia, many people drink tea that is years old, including the Chinese who have a tea that is more than 20 years old and is highly desired and very expensive to buy.
Tea does not 'go off'. It is dried, so like any dried herb. Like someone else said, you may have to steep it a little longer but it will never hurt you.
Stop believing all this hype about 'sell bye' dates. It's why so much food is wasted in the west. For sheer profit. Nothing more.

I need both reach GUI features of c# toolboxes and fast rendering features of XNA, is there any way to merge these two into one app? or is there any other way? for example some equivalent to c# toolbox in xna?
I assume you are referring to Windows Forms when you talk about "GUI toolbox". There are two samples available in the App Hub to mix XNA rendering with standard controls:
(but you lose Xbox360/Win7 Phone/Zune compatibility)
If you are looking for a GUI library for XNA, take a look at this post from Stack Exchange.
Here's a couple of video showcasing XNA + Awesomium:
If you are programming for Windows Phone 7, the new Mango update of the OS adds support for XNA games inside a Silverlight application. This way you can create the menus and GUI in Silverlight, and lauch the game inside a frame. It is expected that Microsoft will sometime soon implement this feature on the PC and Xbox360 versions of XNA, but there's nothing official so far.

7 Actors Typecast in Bizarrely Specific Roles
#3. Kevin Bacon Likes Kids... A Little Too Much
Offending Roles:
Sean Nokes in 1996's Sleepers
Walter in 2004's The Woodsman
Inexplicable Similarity:
They sexually assaulted children and have to face the repercussions years later.
Sean Nokes is a guard at a juvenile detention center where the main characters are sentenced after accidentally injuring an old man in what would have otherwise been a hilarious hotdog-stealing caper. Nokes and the other guards take full advantage of their powers over these children by raping them while making them recite prayers. Surely he'll get away with it, right?
Years after their release, two of the children, now grown, run into Nokes at a restaurant and confront him. Despite the fact that he claims he meant no harm by it.
"Let's not bicker and argue about who raped who!"
The two aren't feeling too forgiving and give him what he deserves: a gunshot in the dick (link provided for the two people on the planet who for whatever reason actually want to see that) and then several more times throughout his body. He survives. Just kidding.
The Woodsman:
Walter has just been released from an adult detention center and is trying to get his life back together. He gets a job at a lumber mill and meets a new lady-friend, Vicki. Once things start to get serious, Walter confesses why he was in jail: He molested little girls. You're cool with that, right Vick?
Vicki is appalled, despite the fact that he claims he meant no harm by it.
"How did this get in here? Somebody's pulling a prank on me!"
Eventually, Vicki gets over it, because what's a little molestation among friends, but when people at work find out, they aren't nearly as forgiving, and give him a fraction of what he deserves: a serious pushing around which is immediately broken up by... David Alan Grier? (And was that Eve watching?)
Bonus Coincidence:
In The Woodsman, Walter's girlfriend was played by Kyra Sedgwick, who was in Phenomenon with John Travolta, who was in Pulp Fiction with Bruce Willis, who was in Twelve Monkeys with Brad Pitt, who played the grown up version of one the kids Sean Nokes sodomized in Sleepers.
Logical Conclusion:
Though Bacon claims, "I worked with kids quite a bit in kind of rough situations... and what I like to do is make it as clear as possible to them... that we are actors and we're going to pretend together. That we are going to be colleagues and roll up our sleeves and act off of each other," we still wouldn't let him babysit our children.
#2. Melinda Clarke's Hookers Can't Commit
Offending Roles:
Lady Heather on TV's CSI: Crime Scene Investigation
Nandi on TV's Firefly
Inexplicable Similarity:
They turn to the male lead for help when a girl from the brothel they run gets into trouble and worries for her other girls' safety. They then discover a mutual chemistry and eventually sleep together, but after he helps, their romance turns into friendship and mutual respect, just like in real life on planet Zongo.
C.S.I. (The first one, in Las Vegas):
When one of women working at Lady Heather's brothel turns up dead in a sandbox, forensic entomologist Gil Grissom and company show up to investigate. Gil is immediately drawn in by the dominatrix's seductive talk and big ol'... uh, bangs.
"So how much do you charge? We need to know for the case and stuff."
In her second appearance, Lady Heather is reunited with Gil when another murder leads him back to her Internet-savvy whorehouse and things heat up between them. Of course, because a lot of old people watch the C.S.I.'s and would take issue with their favorite investigator banging a whore, Gil and Heather's sexin' had was merely implied off-screen.
Thanks a lot, gramps.
Lady Heather returns several more times (eventually making the transition from dominatrix to therapist) and she and Gil become friends, and she helps him sort out his feelings, and, we'd guess, locate his missing balls.
When one of Nandi's girls gets knocked up by a powerful and dangerous man named Rance Burgess, space cowboy Malcolm Reynolds is called in to protect her and the other space whore. Malcolm is immediately drawn in by her seductive talk and big ol'... uh, bangs. Because a lot of Firefly's fans are horny geeks, the two go at it on-screen with plenty of almost nudity.
Mal... just, come on... to the left... move over...
Afterwards, Malcolm feels odd because he's in love with Inara, Nandi's old friend. While preparing for battle with Rance's men, Nandi talks things out with Malcolm and helps him sort his feelings out.
Logical Conclusion:
Melinda Clarke has daddy issues.
#1. Brian Cox's Kids Do the Darndest Things
Offending Roles:
Suicidal breeder of suicidal horses, Richard Morgan, in 2002's The Ring
Mutant-hating military scientist, William Stryker, in 2003's X2: X-Men United
Minor Similarities:
They were married with one kid.
They were bitter people.
They had a tendency to bring their work home.
Inexplicable Similarity:
Their wives were driven mad and committed suicide as a result of their children's supernatural ability to put images into people's heads.
The Ring:
Rachel Keller is investigating a video tape that, after being viewed, causes a little girl to crawl out of your TV and kill you. Her search for an explanation brings her to Richard Morgan, a bitter horse breeder whose wife and horses all killed themselves. After further investigation, Rachel learns that the little girl on the tape is Richard's adopted daughter who was killed and believes it was Richard who killed her, which is odd because he's such a positive guy surrounded by happiness and all.
Appalled, Rachel returns to Mr. Morgan's house to confront him about how he could do something so terrible to his own child, and catches him about to commit a somewhat elaborate suicide. Before taking the final plunge, Richard reveals to Rachel that his daughter could torture people by putting images into their heads, and that's why his wife killed herself.
For the love of god, not Nancy Pelosi doing naked push-ups! No!!
X2: X-Men United:
The X-Men's base of operations, Xavier's School for Gifted Youngsters, is raided by the military and Xavier is brought to a secret base. There, William Stryker, a bitter government operative, tries to use his semi-lobotomized son to force Xavier to locate every mutant on Earth and wipe them out.
Eh, it beats working at the DMV.
Appalled, Xavier asks Stryker how he could do such a horrible thing to his own child. Stryker reveals that his son could torture people by putting images into their heads, and that is why his wife killed herself, and why William wants to wipe out the mutant race. Plus he keeps leaving the toilet seat up.
What? It's messy, that's why.
Logical Conclusion:
Brian Cox might just be a bad husband and father.

HOLLAND (October 29, 2012)--Two 18-wheelers collided head-on Monday morning about two miles north of Holland on State Highway 95 and one of them burst into flames.
SH 95 was closed to traffic from FM 1123 to Roberts Road at around 9:15 a.m. Monday while firefighters doused the flames.
Holland's fire chief said he heard the crash from his home, looked out a window and saw heavy black smoke coming from the direction of the crash.
Diesel fuel that leaked from the burning truck was running down the roadway and burning as it inched toward the other truck that was about 100 yards away.
The second truck was leaking diesel fuel, as well, but it did not catch fire.
Both drivers were walking around at the scene but the driver of the truck that caught fire was taken by ambulance to Scott & White Hospital, in Temple, for treatment of minor injuries, the chief said.
Road crews were busy trying to clear the roadway of debris left after the crash.
Firefighters from Holland, Little River and Bartlett, along with a HazMat unit from Temple Fire and Rescue were at the scene.
A Texas Department of Transportation crew also was there assessing damage to the roadway.

I'm trying to find a good BI tool which can be connected to a PostgreSQL database.
I need the following abilities:
- Reporting Services
- Dashboards
- Data Mining.
The BI server should work on Linux and the solution shouldn't be very expensive.
I looked at the Wikipedia entry list of BI tools - almost all are open-source and free tools and don't fit my needs.
The list of proprietary products is too big to check all of them.
Pentaho Community Edition looks interesting but it doesn't have dashboards, that feature is only in the commercial version but prices are not published and doesn't seems very useful.
JasperSoft doesn't have dashboards in the free version either.
Can anyone point me in the right direction?

I managed to avoid the Boomer artillery fire and speak with their leader. They promised not to fire on me any more, and I already performed a quest for them and have a reputation of "accepted" with the Boomers.
They still fire on me if I come near the Nellis gate or the area in front of it. They don't mind killing their own people in the process.
I don't want to reload and redo the quest for them again, is there any way of circumventing that bug, e.g. via some console commands?

Is it okay at Christmastime to give a gift to a boss or for kids to give gifts to teachers if they are not Jewish?
Sign up

- The best answers are voted up and rise to the top
I'm not so sure it's as straightforward as follick said. True that Christianity is avodah zarah for us Jews; true also that it is, according to some posekim, also the same for non-Jews. Nevertheless, one of the major leniencies in this regard (alluded to by Shalom in his answer to the related question) is that most non-Jews nowadays aren't אדוק באמונתם, so "frum" that, say, receiving a gift before their holiday will make them run to church to thank their deity.
There still is the issue of chukos hagoyim (imitating non-Jewish practices), though.
On a practical level: maybe indeed it's too late for this year to do anything about it, but how about if you give them an end-of-year present (or whatever you want to call it) far enough in advance - say anytime before Thanksgiving - so that it doesn't have a direct connection to Christmas, but still shows your regard for them?
I found something else that bears on this. The Rema (Yoreh De'ah 148:12), citing Terumas Hadeshen, says:
(As Shach there :13 points out, delaying giving the gift until after the holiday would lead to איבה, the non-Jew resenting the Jew for having ignored the occasion. "Especially nowadays," he says, "when it is uncommon for them to go and thank [their deity, for the gift].")
However, in uncensored editions of Shulchan Aruch (such as here), the reference is explicated as being to "ביום ח' שאחר ניט"ל שקורין ני"א יאר" - "the eighth day after Christmas, which they call 'New Year.'" Which would mean that giving a non-Jew a gift on Christmas itself might still be problematic either as supporting idolatry or as chukos hagoyim, but if you give it as a New Year's gift, there'd be more room for leniency. (Why the posekim aren't as concerned about the chukos hagoyim angle regarding New Year's, I don't know.)
Though I suppose that it might be argued that conditions were different then - when the non-Jews' resentment could lead to real physical danger to the individual and to the Jewish community generally - than now.
No (Avodah Zara 2a) If Christianity is considered Avodah Zarah then it is clearly assur. I know that not everyone holds that it is but in cases of doubt about such a serious issur D'Orisah as Avodah Zarah we need to be machmir.

To the editor:
While I live outside of the Leavenworth area, I think that your article "Children Benefit from speech therapy program" had a glaring omission. While it mentioned all the main speech problems faced by children, it did not mention that every child in the U.S. has the right to free speech therapy.
I just want to make two points of my own. First, these days private speech therapy for children can be too expensive for some families; even families who have employer-based health coverage are complaining about access to private speech therapy. Second, the U.S. public at large is unaware that for almost 40 years every child in the U.S. had the guaranteed right to FREE speech therapy as was mandated by federal legislation. The free therapy covers all speech problems and is available from preschool up through high school. The best explanation of this unknown gem in our national healthcare system is a brochure "Special Education Law and Children Who Stutter," which is available for download on the website of The Stuttering Foundation (www.stutteringehlp.org). It gives a great explanation to parents of this benefit of free speech therapy. The Stuttering Foundation website also offers helpful free resources to people who stutter of all ages.

Has the problem of factoring (over the rationals) the general trinomial $ax^n+bx^k+c$ with $a,b,c\in\mathbb{Z}$, $n,k\in\mathbb{N}, n>k>1$ been solved? By solved I mean a classification theorem which will either give the factors or give a certificate that it is irreducible.
One could ask the same question, but about finding expressions for the roots of a trinomial. I am aware that long ago this problem was worked on, but I have been unable to find a modern treatment of this problem.
The question which actually motivates this one is: given a trinomial which factors, consider the number of terms in each of the factors. Further, assume that the trinomial is not cyclotomic. How many terms can the factors have? [The cyclotomic case is conjectured to be special].
[Edit: clarified that I am interested in this special case, not the general case, where the algorithms of M. van Hoeij are the current best, much superior to Cantor-Zassenhaus].

Is it possible to implement music/SFX in game made using JMonkey? If yes, how did you do it? What did you use?
Admittedly I don't have a ton of experience with JMonkey, however this page seems to have enough information to explain the system.
From what I can read, JMonkey's audio system uses a listener/source system. Regardless, it seems simple enough to implement and should be a fairly trivial task.
Edit: After reading the article, I'll try to explain it more here:
Each sound uses an instance of AudioNode, created like this:
To load the sounds themselves, simply create a new instance like so:
The true/false sets if the sound will be streamed or not. For long sounds (think things like in-game Music,) this should be set to true, however shorter sounds, this should not be streamed.
Once you load the sound, you can then attach to the root node, and then either play it using play() or playInstance():
For playback, a "listener" object must be created, and said "listeners" proprieties should be updated as the camera moves.

It looks like one of the cows down the street from my house. The only difference between this cow and the cows down the road is they are black and this one is brown. The lesson should be pretty easy to follow so I'm pretty confident that those of you that tackle it, will succeed. Anyways, have fun drawing cattle folks, and I will ready another tut.

Cantor to Reid: If you're so confident ObamaCare repeal will fail in Senate …
posted at 9:30 am on January 19, 2011 by Ed Morrissey
It's been a while for me, so I'm no longer sure of the protocols of dog dares, but this seems like a jump right to a triple. Harry Reid has insisted that any attempt to pass a full repeal of ObamaCare in the House would be doomed in the Senate and therefore a waste of time. In response, Eric Cantor told Reid to put it up for a vote if he feels that confident in the results:
House Majority Leader Eric Cantor isn't one to hold his feelings back — especially when it comes to Senate Majority Leader Harry Reid.
On Tuesday, the Virginia Republican threw a little more fuel on the fire, suggesting Reid (D-Nev.) was afraid to actually bring up the health care repeal vote in the Senate.
"If Harry Reid is so confident that the repeal vote should die in the Senate then he should bring it up for a vote if he's so confident he's got the votes," Cantor said.
Reid's spokesman says that the Senate won't vote on repeal because three-quarters of Americans want the law to stay as it is:
"Not only would repeal not pass, but according to a poll by AP over the weekend, three out of four people don't want it to," Reid spokesman Jon Summers said. "Why? Because full repeal means raising taxes on small businesses, reopening the Medicare donut hole, and putting insurance companies back in charge of your health care."
Actually, if that were the case, then Reid would have no trouble scheduling a vote. The Senate would spend hours extolling the virtues of ObamaCare and then hold a vote where the House repeal would get widely opposed. Such a spectacle would cement the spin that the Republican House leadership is radical, out of control, and unrepresentative of the American political consensus.
Reid knows, however, that it's his Democrats who have alienated the electorate through the passage of ObamaCare — and so does Cantor. In fact, so do a number of Reid's colleagues in the Senate, 23 of whom have to face voters next year. Some, such as Ben Nelson of Nebraska and Jon Tester of Montana, had hoped to spend the 112th Session casting enough conservative votes to get their constituents to forget the ObamaCare vote in 2010. The last thing many of them need is to be forced to support it again in this session, even with a cloture vote.
Reid can't afford to schedule a vote on a repeal, because one might actually pass, not because it would get easily defeated. Barack Obama would then veto it, of course, and there aren't enough votes to overturn the veto. But Obama's veto will make Obama look just as out of touch as those Democrats who want to avoid a second showdown at all costs.

When working with a change of coordinates using
how and when do we deal with translations? I'm comfortable with setting up the formula $x^TAx$ where A is the matrix whose diagonal entries are the coefficients of (say in $R^2$) x and y and whose other entries correspond to half of the $xy$ term in said equation. Then finding eigenvectors that translate our coordinate system and sketching our graph from there. What I'm struggling with is say we have:
$x^2 - 2xy + y^2 + 6x - 4 = 0$
I know that if I were to say, complete the square I would have something that looks like:
$(x+3)^2 - 2xy + y^2 = 13$
Do I then just move forward and still build my matrix A as \begin{align} A = \begin{pmatrix} 1 & -1 \\ -1 & 1 \\ \end{pmatrix} \end{align}
Or do I need to account for the shift when building this matrix? Again, I'm comfortable with the math up until dealing with the translation. Do I complete the process of sketching the graph and then account for my translation or does the translation play a role throughout the process?

I've finally put down the money to buy a quality knife and it's sharpness is amazing!
How do I take care of it so that the edge lasts and the knife stays sharp?
I've finally put down the money to buy a quality knife and it's sharpness is amazing!
How do I take care of it so that the edge lasts and the knife stays sharp?
General Care
Honing a knife is a good way to restore a slightly dull knife. You will need an honing steel (sometimes misleadingly referred to as a sharpening steel), which can be bought inexpensively. Note that there are differences between steels; the best value tends to be in the $30 (USD) range.
Honing is not the same as sharpening. Honing helps to align the existing edge, which becomes skewed or "curled" after regular use. It will not help to create a new edge if the knife is damaged, e.g. if it is corroded or chipped due to not following the "General Care" advice above.
To hone a knife:
Here is a video illustrating the technique.
Knife sharpening involves a whetstone (AKA sharpening stone) and is an art unto itself. Some knife manufacturers do explain the process, however, the technique takes a long time to master and most home cooks will prefer to leave this to a professional.
If you find that regular honing is no longer effective at maintaining a knife's edge - and if it's been well-maintained, this should take several weeks or months - then it's time to get the knife sharpened.
Yes, I LOVE my knives. Only have three plus a parer.
One of the very best investments I've ever made in a kitchen tool is this Chefs Choice knife sharpener. It is motorized and has three levels of wheel - one for grinding out really bad knicks, one for sort of once-a-month resharpening and one for everyday honing that will leave your blade razor sharp. The angle guides make it nearly impossible to use wrong.
Now I've got nothing against learning to use a whetstone or waterstone - I know how from woodworking. And I'm all for you learning how to use a steel. But realistically, most home cooks aren't going to do either of these things. A good, motorized sharpener that produces excellent results in seconds is the perfect solution.
Get them professionally sharpened regularly, there is no substitute for that.
Hone them every time before you use them, don't cut on a hard surface (such as a marble or the like)
Some knives like the Wusthof knives I have will lose their sharpness quite quickly other's like Global are meant to keep it for a bit longer, so different knives mean different levels of TLC.
Additionally as others said, its important to keep your knives dry and not chuck them in the dish washer.
Alton Brown had a show covering this, I think the tutorial is online.
There's a difference between sharpening and honing your knifes. If your knives need sharpening, you should take it to a professional. After a few years of moderate use, it's probably time. Michael has a good suggestion, but only if you plan on sharpening your knives often enough to make it worth it. For regular maintenance, you want to use a honing steel on your knives, which will straighten out any place where the edge has "rolled". This does not actually "sharpen" the knife, as the sharpening process removes steel to create a new edge.
There is some difference between honing steels. In my own research a little while back, I decided they fell into about 3 basic types:
You can also get a ceramic honing rod, which would add an even finer finish, which you could use in addition to a regular honing steel.
Here's a video on how to hone your knife, just as Mike explains it:
The honing keeps your knife sharp from day-to-day. But over time a dullness still accumulates that can't be fixed with honing. So you should have your knifes professionally sharpened from time to time (maybe once or twice a ear).
I have a $40 electric knife sharpener. It has two slots (for two stages of sharpening) with a rotating wheel inside. The slot's edges will guide the knife at the right angle.
It requires very little technique and effort, it's quick to learn and quick to use regularly.
It works marvel with the cheap knife set that I got years ago and I haven't had a need to buy another knife ever since.
Check if that would work on your quality knife (it may not). If it does, I recommend that.
If you don't want to learn how to use a whetstone or a waterstone and do want to be able to sharpen your knife at home, you can get a fairly inexpensive sharpener made by Henkels for your knife. Another option is to take it into a local store that does sharpening or ask your butcher where he gets his knives sharpened and have a professional do it.

"No, no" to Soho mass for gay Catholics
Following the decision by Archbishop Nichols of Westminster to end the so-called Soho Mass for gay Catholics so that Anglican-Catholics could use the church for their boutique rites it was believed that the ministry for gay Catholics would continue at a London Jesuit parish. Apparently that's not the case, as The Tablet reports:
No gay Mass at Farm Street, Jesuits say11 January 2013The Parish Priest at the newly designated church for gay Catholics has said that no specific provision will be made for the group when they attend Mass.Last week the Archbishop of Westminster announced an end to the Soho Masses at Our Lady of the Assumption, Warwick Street, central London. But following the announcement those who attended the bimonthly Masses expressed a hope that their liturgical celebration could be transferred to the Sunday evening Mass at the Jesuit-run church in Farm Street, Mayfair.However Fr Andrew Cameron-Mowat, the parish priest at Farm Street, told The Tablet that the community would not be able to continue some of its traditions under the new arrangement. Asked if the group could write its own bidding prayers, use rainbow-coloured items or invite priests to say Mass he said: "We will be happy to welcome newcomers to our regular parish Masses but cannot make provision for guest presiders or other features specific to any single group. This would be against the wishes of the archbishop."
Nichols had come under intense pressure from conservatives in the UK and Rome to reverse his support for the Soho mass, and activists kept up the pressure when it seemed he might have made some provision for allowing the liturgy to continue even after it was shut down in Soho. We couldn't have that, of course.H/T: Catholic World News

The conservatives at the UK Catholic Herald are beside themselves worrying that the Soho Masses haven't been adequately destroyed ... http://www.catholicherald.co.uk/commentandblogs/2013/01/09/have-the-soho... what I've read, the LGBT community will be going to masses with everyone else at the Farm Street church, but also having non-mass meetings. Farm Street is said to be a welcoming place that had lent some of its priests for the Soho Masses in the past.
When I was child there was a parish which regularly had a 4:00 a.m. Sunday Mass for the amateur fishermen. St. Peter would not have approved?
When I was child there was a parish which regularly had a 4:00 a.m. Sunday Mass for the amateur fishermen. St. Peter would not have approved?
Better fishermen and gays than tax collectors I suppose.
Will the Red masses be cancelled all around the country. No...never... Why? the bishops have never heard the question" what do you think about the bus load of lawyers going into the river?""it's a start'
I've read about Masses for policemen, and there are the Masses for college kids on their campuses, nuns in their convents, and monks in their monasteries. And, obviously, there are also nuptual Masses and the funeral Masses. How particular can you get?
Particular masses is one thing-in the neo catechumenate-they had private masses going on throughout my parish church. If you walked in on one -you would be thrown out for not being a member of that" community".The claim was that an outsider would not "understand" their mass and might be "scandalized."I was scandalized that they had private masses in a catholic parish where people were getting thrown out if not a member of a "community". That violates the universality and oneness of catholicism-I claimed. I got thrown out too.
AnnIm not aware of the Church having any masses specifically for those with a particular desire She considers not ordered to the Good.
Mark --You've got it all wrong. Don't make the Vatican worse than it is. It does not teach that persons who are gay are disordered. It teaches that through no fault of their own a part of them is.
AnnRespectfully, I think youve got it wrong on both accounts. I did not say what you claimed I said (there is a subtle, yet substantial, difference) and I do not think Ive misrepresented Church teaching (though there are certainly others on this blog who are more qualified than I am in that regard, and I will defer to them).
Mark, don't you, I and everyone else have desires that are not ordered to the good? I'm grateful that I can receive the medicine of immortality at mass.
Mark, dont you, I and everyone else have desires that are not ordered to the good?Hi JimYES!! Precisely. And I too am grateful that we can all receive the medicine of immortality at mass. No one is being excluded by the Church in this instance, as far as I can tell.
Speaking of the UK Church and the LGBT community, I see that over 1000 Catholic priests have signed a letter against marriage equality .... http://blogs.telegraph.co.uk/news/damianthompson/100197878/gay-marriage-...
To Mark: Of course people are being excluded from mass. No, there is no one at the door, ordering anyone out, but if the leadership of your church has made it quite clear that you are "disordered" - and please no claims that it's just your sexuality that is disordered- you are clearly not welcome. And Ann: I must say, respectfully, that if the church is saying a same-sex orientation is "disordered", it cannot claim that it is openng and welcoming. If one's sexuality which is far more broad and deep than the sexual act, is purported to be disordered, than they, the hierarchy, are talking about actual persons who live real lives and perhaps would like to share that life with someone they love. One cannot separate out sexual orientation from the totality of the whole person. The current crop of bishops do the whole church harm when they deal in petty discrimination of sexual minorities.
Holloway --I agree that the Church is not welcoming of all homosexuals. But these days it does seem to be trying to welcome at least some of them, which it certainly used not to do.
Hi HollowayI dont think weve met, thanks for your post. As you might imagine, I disagree but, in the interests of finding some common ground, do you agree (as I do) with the thrust of Jims earlier post? Namely, that we agree with the Churchs teaching that we are all born with desires that can lead us away from God?
Of course homosexual desire like heterosexual desire is ordered to the Good. Bishop Jefferts-Schori is luminous on this.I am happy that I know only one of the signatories of the Telegraph letter, a convert from Anglicanism. The many enlightened English Catholic clergy I know are not among the signatories."the Churchs teaching that we are all born with desires that can lead us away from God" -- sexual concupiscence was an obsession of the official church in the past; and it now classes homosexual orientation in general under that category, which is just as Manichean as if it were to class heterosexual orientation thereunder."If ones sexuality which is far more broad and deep than the sexual act, is purported to be disordered, than they, the hierarchy, are talking about actual persons who live real lives and perhaps would like to share that life with someone they love. One cannot separate out sexual orientation from the totality of the whole person. The current crop of bishops do the whole church harm when they deal in petty discrimination of sexual minorities." Yes.
Of course, he explained?
I can think of a few things, offhand, that would lead us away from God: greed, lack of empathy for others, narcissim. I don't think we acquire these insights merely because we were taught them, though I suppose the teaching and wisdom of others helps us to form our values. I think we learn them through observation, experience and through our relationships - the facts on the ground, in other words.
I recently started to attend the one and only mass on a 2 week cruise (New Year's day), conducted by a priest passenger who was English. We got there a bit late and his homily was totally devoted to abortion and the "sanctity" of marriage between one man and one woman (children optionsl?)". Greg and I looked at each other and simply got up and walked out to the visible surprise of the priest ranter and the few fossils who were in attendance.It appears that the English Catholic Church is as infected with as much utter nonsense as is its colonial cousin.

Well everyones rankings are persistent with each others rankings.
Why was last week's thread deleted!?
Here are the Power Rankings for our division for week 3:
Team Source TW/LW(change) Comment Pete Prisco
Full Listings
1/1(-) They have earned this spot after their impressive performance against the Giants. Von Miller has not been missed as much as we thought. Denver ESPN.com
Full Listings
2/3(+1) Denver's plus-40 point differential is tops in the league after convincing wins against the Ravens and Giants. The way the Broncos have played, hosting the Raiders Monday night doesn't seem scary. Broncos Brian Billick
Full Listings
1/2(+1) Simply put ... Peyton Manning is going to have his best season since 2004, when he threw for 49 touchdowns. Maybe better.
Pete Prisco
11/18(+7) Andy Reid takes an unbeaten team back to face his former team Thursday night in Philadelphia. He does so with a defense that has really impressed. Kansas_City ESPN.com 13/20(+7) Why are the Chiefs 2-0? Start with Kansas City's defense, which leads the league with 35.4 expected points added in the Chiefs' first two games. Chiefs Brian Billick
10/17(+7) In just two weeks, the Chiefs have already matched last year's win total and Alex Smith's four passing touchdowns are already half of what the Chiefs threw for all of last season.
Pete Prisco
17/28(+11) They showed a lot by winning that game at Philadelphia on a short week. Philip Rivers was special. San_Diego ESPN.com 16/26(+10) Philip Rivers showed up in a big way Sunday. Rivers was 7-of-9 against extra rushers in the fourth quarter, including the game-winning TD to Eddie Royal. Chargers Brian Billick
16/23(+7) Mike McCoy, Ken Wisenhunt and Philip Rivers appear to have made for a good match, but Eddie Royal is going to come back down to Earth sometime soon.
Pete Prisco
28/30(+2) We move them up based on their victory against the Jaguars, but this is about as high as they will go. Then again, they could be 2-0. Oakland ESPN.com 29/31(+2) It's early, but Terrelle Pryor's 46.6 Total QBR is 21st in the league and ranks higher than Super Bowl winners Tom Brady, Eli Manning, Joe Flacco and Ben Roethlisberger. Raiders Brian Billick
31/31(-) Big deal ... they beat the Jaguars.

At one point last week I checked in on the site and some sort of hacker bs message came up, admin stomped it out quick but the power rankings and Em's video along with a couple others got deleted when they eliminated the bug. I believe.
Chiefs are getting much respect. That makes me nervous...
Here are the Power Rankings for our division for Week 4:
Team Source TW/LW(change) Comment Pete Prisco
Full Listings
1/1(-) Hard to believe it, but Peyton Manning is getting better. He has 12 touchdown passes in three games. Good luck stopping this offense. Denver ESPN.com
Full Listings
2/2(-) Four Broncos have at least 190 receiving yards through three games. The Packers are the only other team with even three of those receivers. How do you stop that? Broncos Brian Billick
Full Listings
1/1(-) Peyton Manning will tell you that the Broncos offense still has plenty of things to work on, but I can tell you that most teams don't even look this sharp in 7-on-7 drills during practice.
Pete Prisco
5/11(+6) You have to give the defense all the accolades so far. They are getting after it. I still worry about the passing game's ability to go deep. Kansas_City ESPN.com 8/13(+5) The Chiefs have disrupted a league-high 33 drop-backs, or 24 percent of drop-backs they've faced this year (sack, pass defended or interception). No team has finished above 22 percent since 2008. Chiefs Brian Billick
7/19(+3) The Chiefs have now surpassed their entire 2012 win total and are the first team in NFL history to start a season 3-0 following a season in which they lost 14 or more games.
Pete Prisco
19/28(-2) They are 1-2, but they've been in every game. Progress is being made. They just don't have enough talent yet. San_Diego ESPN.com 19/16(-3) Is Philip Rivers good or not? Only Peyton Manning has more passing touchdowns, one year after Rivers' 42 Total QBR ranked 30th among qualified quarterbacks. Hosting Dallas is a good test. Chargers Brian Billick
19/16(-3) Philip Rivers looks like the league's most improved player after three weeks. His 83.3 completion percentage on Sunday was good for the second-most accurate day of his career.
Pete Prisco
26/28(+2) They just don't have the players to compete with a team like Denver. It won't help that Terrelle Pryor suffered a concussion, either. Oakland ESPN.com 30/29(-1) Terrelle Pryor has posted a Total QBR above 55 in two of his three games this season, something Colin Kaepernick, Matt Schaub, Eli Manning and Andy Dalton can't say. Raiders Brian Billick
31/31(-) Terrelle Pryor made some big league throws last night on Monday Night Football. He showed me some signs that he can develop into a long-term starter in the NFL. There are still five winless teams ranked higher than the Raiders, but that may change next week -- if he can go after his concussion against the Broncos.
And our next opponent ...
Pete Prisco
29/22(-7) What has happened to this team? They look lost. Can they save their season at Kansas City? New_York ESPN.com 29/20(-9) The Panthers sacked Eli Manning seven times Sunday, third most in Eli's career. New York's 13 turnovers lead the league, a total it didn't hit until Week 10 last year. Giants Brian Billick
29/24(-5) The Giants are 0-3 for the first time since 1996 and the 38-point loss to the Panthers is the team's worst loss in the Tom Coughlin era.

I think our current ranks are a product of all the other "great teams" ie. 49ers, giants, etc stinking up the joint.
Yeah its more of the others teams stinking it up but until they start winning we are about where we should be ranked as the rankings is not based on potential.

A Leavenworth man was taken to the hospital Saturday after his car struck a tree, a police spokesman said.
The accident was reported at 6:09 p.m. Saturday at Marion Street and Wilson Avenue.
The 38-year-old man was driving east on Marion Street in a 1989 Chevrolet Camaro. The car went off the roadway at the curve where Marion turns into Wilson Avenue, and the vehicle hit a tree, according to Maj. Dan Nicodemus, deputy chief of the Leavenworth Police Department.
The driver apparently hit his head on the windshield. He was transported by Leavenworth County EMS to the University of Kansas Hospital, Kansas City, Kan.
There were no passengers in the vehicle.
Nicodemus said speed is believed to have been a factor in the crash. There's no indication the driver was intoxicated.
The driver was cited for allegations of not wearing a seat belt and speeding, according to Nicodemus.

If it's a relatively older car and you want to take care not to get water where you don't want it, just get yourself a roll of those blue automotive grade paper towels and a bottle of simple green ( or a similarly gentle cleaner ) and take an afternoon to wipe down your engine bay. That way it will be easy to avoid damaging any wires. Sure, it doesn't sound as fast as just hosing things down, but your engine will thank you for it.
Steam cleaning is effective for older cars, but does require manual wiping down afterwards, and car taken around the fuse box or other electrical items in the engine bay.
Take extra care with the distributor as high pressure steam could get inside it and condense.

There doesn't really seem to be a German word with the exact same meanings and connotations as the English word "awkward". How would you translate it in a sentence like "He's an awkward person" or "That was an awkward situation."?

A situation can be unangenehm or prekär. Similarly a person can be unangenehm. Or schwierig, seltsam or unbeholfen.
I agree that there doesn't seem to be a word that captures the connotation of awkward 1:1. It depends on the situation.
That being said without knowing more about the context I'd translate the first sentence as
It sounds a bit weird though. Using schon makes the sentence a bit more elegant but being a native speaker unfortunately I can't give you a rationale for that.
The second sentence could be
Regarding a situation:
depending on the context. For general usage, I think heikel fits best here together with unangenehm as suggested by musiKk.
As for a person, "linkisch" seems to fit as well.
What about merkwürdig in the sense of "somehow strange"?
The phrase
seems to fit, as well as
And for me, merkwürdig has - phonetically and also regarding usage - the exact same connotation as awkward.
If you are in an awkward situation your feelings might be defined as Verlegenheit, e.g.:
Somewhat of a false friend with English. It means 'funny' but in the sense that funny can mean weird.

European chemicals output contracted by 2% in 2012 compared
with 2011, according to European chemicals group Cefic. By
lowering its forecast released in September, the chemicals
trade body downgrade reflects recent data showing a stagnant European economy and a further
decline in chemicals output since the first quarter of 2012.
Cefic forecasts a slight expansion of 0.5% in 2013.
EU automotive and construction segments were a drag on
chemicals demand in 2012, offering few encouraging signs.
Sluggish demand remains for new cars as government-backed
incentives to replace vehicles have now run their course. The
fallout from overcapacity in the construction market has yet to wind
down as the European building sector remains at
historically low levels.
Once the final numbers are in, EU chemicals production for
2012 will likely remain 8% below its pre-recession level. On
the product front, volatile oil and naphtha prices have caused
further uncertainty in the petrochemicals sector as customers
and producers both attempt to optimize inventory levels.
A recent survey by the American Automobile Association (AAA)
finds a strong likelihood of consumer confusion and the
potential for voided warranties and vehicle damage as a result
of the US Environmental Protection
Agencys (EPAs) recent approval of E15 gasoline.
Ninety-five percent of consumers surveyed have not heard of
E15, a newly approved gasoline blend that contains up to 15% ethanol. AAA is encouraging
regulators and the industry to stop the sale of E15 until more
than 5% of the cars on the road (the current number) are
approved by automakers to use the fuel. Only about 12 million
out of the more than 240 million light-duty vehicles on the
road today are approved by manufacturers to use E15 gasoline,
based on a survey conducted by AAA of auto manufacturers. AAA
automotive engineering experts also have reviewed the available
research and believe that sustained use of E15 in both newer
and older vehicles could result in significant problems such as
accelerated engine wear and failure, fuel-system damage and
false check engine lights for any vehicle not
approved by its manufacturer to use E15.
One employee at Valeros Memphis, Tennessee, refinery died after a chemical
exposure incident, according to news reports. The accident
occurred December 3 when an equipment failure released a
hazardous chemical inside the refinery, leading to chemical burns
when a small glass window shattered in the alkylation unit.
Valero said the incident did not involve an explosion or fire,
despite initial reports from local media to the contrary.
Operations at the 180,000-bpd refinery were not affected,
according to the company.
Ecolab has amended its acquisition agreement with Permian
Mud Service, the parent company of Champion Technologies, so
that Champions downstream process and water solutions
business will be spun-off to Permian shareholders prior to the
Ecolab acquisition. As such, Ecolab will not be acquiring those
specific operations. Sales in 2011 for the downstream business,
which primarily serves refineries, were approximately $50
million. Accordingly, the value of the transaction will be
reduced to $2.16 billion from $2.2 billion, subject to further
adjustment as provided in the acquisition agreement.
The Vietnamese government recently announced a roadmap for
the blending ratio of biofuel with traditional fuel. The
policy mandates the use of E5 biofuel in seven Vietnamese
localities beginning December 1, 2014. From December 1, 2015,
the use of E5 will be compulsory for all road vehicles
nationwide. E10 biofuel will be used in these
localities from December 1, 2016, and E10 use will also become
compulsory nationwide from December 1, 2017. Production and
supply chain/distribution challenges have resulted in
Vietnams ethanol production being more
expensive than what could be produced overseas. Vietnamese
consumers have also been reluctant to use ethanol because of
perceptions about fuel quality and safety.
Economic prospects are looking brighter for the heating,
ventilation and air conditioning (HVAC) industry in 2013.
Potential growth exists in a resurgent housing market and in
consumer interest and investment in green HVAC
equipment, according to a new report from SBI Energy. The
report projected the total shipment value
of HVAC manufacturing products to reach $14.5 billion by the
end of 2012, with that number growing to nearly $17 billion by
Growth of the industry will begin to accelerate by
2015, said Darren Bosik, an analyst with SBI, when
the impact of government-funded initiatives is felt in US construction and housing industries,
most notably the movement to construct zero-energy buildings
Critical to the growth of HVAC manufacturing is the
resurgence of US household remodeling and the recovery of new
construction and housing and related industries such as steel.
Driving the total HVAC equipment manufacturing growth to 2017
will be heat transfer equipment [4.4% compound annual growth
rate (CAGR)] and air source heat pumps (4.9% CAGR). The two
categories are characterized by lower unit costs, and demand
will increase with an expected boom in construction projects that require replacements
of these products.
The market for fuel ethanol in the US remains
unconcentrated, with 154 firms nationwide either producing
ethanol or likely to be in production in the next 12 to 18
months, according to the US Federal Trade Commissions
(FTCs) 2012 report on the state of US ethanol production.
FTC staff calculated market concentration for ethanol
production using different measures. The staff concluded that,
as of September 2012, there were 10 fewer ethanol producers in
the US than at the time of the FTCs 2011 report. The
largest ethanol producers share of capacity decreased
slightly to 11.1% of domestic ethanol production capacity, which
was below the 11.5% share in 2011.
Plains All American Pipeline has agreed to acquire four
operating crude oil rail terminals, one terminal under
development and various contractual arrangements from US
Development Group for approximately $500 million. The assets to
be acquired include three crude oil rail loading terminals
located in the Eagle Ford, Bakken and Niobrara producing
regions with an aggregate daily loading capacity of
approximately 85,000 bpd; a rail unloading terminal at St.
James, Louisiana, with a capacity of approximately 140,000 bpd;
and a project to construct a crude oil
unloading terminal near Bakersfield, California.

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

I have used taskset for this. If you have taskset installed, something like:

On a related note, if you're worrying about CPU affinity of your program, it may be worthwhile to pay attention to how it's doing memory allocation as well. Larger systems with memory attached to more than one controller (i.e. multiple CPU sockets, each with their own) will have variable latency and bandwidth between different CPU-memory pairs. You'll want to look into NUMA affinity as well, using the

Robert Hess has been around Microsoft for a long time (16 years at last count). You've probably seen Robert before, since he hosts the
.NET show on MSDN.
But there are a few other things that you might not know about Robert. For one, he's the author of the DrinkBoy Web site where he shares all sorts information about the art of making cocktails.
Second, he runs a group of Longhorn evangelists here at Microsoft that build a variety of applications -- his team built the demos that were used on stage during keynotes at the PDC.
Anyway, he invited us to his favorite cafe/bar in Seattle to talk tech, Microsoft history, and more (the rest of his conversation will come up over the next week or so).
Since he helped form the evangelism team here at Microsoft, we wondered how he'd answer the question of "what is an evangelist?"
Oops, something didn't work.

//return 'unknown'
I have defined the above code in a function that is called in the async init. (The async init is defined in the code behind, I'm registering the script to the head of the page on page load) The first alert is called which means I get into the function, but the rest of it doesn't seem to work. No alerts are displayed after that.
On debugging using breakpoints, I was just directed to the end of the function. No clue why this happens. Am I missing something?

As it currently stands, this question is not a good fit for our Q&A format. We expect answers to be supported by facts, references, or expertise, but this question will likely solicit debate, arguments, polling, or extended discussion.

What I do is to share my model and my diagrams directly on CVS inside my project. After each major change I commit.
Anyone in the team can change the model or the diagrams. It works pretty well because the class diagram is synchronized with the code and no offline out of box code generation is used.
It is difficult to create a CASE tool that allows different users to change things simultaneously.
In the past, Texas Instruments created IEF that is a repository based tool based on batch check-out and check-in process. A similar product ERWin also uses a repository for storing the model meta data. None used the collaborative style. The challenge is to handle conflicting user interactions, for example one user may be defining a proper in a class while the other user attempts to delete or rename the class either in the same diagram or in another one.
Also, it is generally good idea to have one person in charge of a diagram. Ideas are welcome but final implementation should be a single person's responsibility unless the model is well divided into separate parts.

I made a repeat visit back to Big Chris today. I had not planned on it but as I was over in that area of Barrie it was convenient. Good food is always worth it.
Today I tried their shaved roast beef. A while back I posted their beans well to put it bluntly -sucked royally. Since then however I have great news – they are really great now. Completely terrific. Texture flavor and all aspects are just super yummy now.
This time I stayed and ate with my 4 year old son.
This is how they serve their in house diners. It was a very generous portion of lovely smoked shaved roast beef (you can opt for their horseradish mayo) great french fries, side of crunchy coleslaw and the new and uber improved beans. It was plenty for both of us. Kudos to them for improving their products and reacting to customers. I have no doubt Ill be back and I would suggest anyone who appreciates good bbq goes.
