This timeline from the Washington Post says that the United States Department of Agriculture issued its first food guidelines in 1916 for children, and then did one in 1920 for adults. My question is, what were the surrounding conditions that led to the federal government deciding it need to tell people what to eat?
The most important appears to be scientific discoveries related to nutrition that were being uncovered rapidly by the beginning of the twentieth century, from Chapter 2 of the Agriculture Health Bulletin No. (AIB 750) entitled "Dietary Restrictions and How They Have Changed Over Time",
The last two sentences are important as much of the success of the nutritional guidelines came from both their utility (much of which, such as the food grouping remains unchanged to today), but initially also from food industry support.
Obviously American farmers and the agricultural industry particularly liked the idea of "you need to eat all kinds of our products". When food became more plentiful after WWII and obesity more of a problem, health advice from the USDA started to change to reflect this (something that as a member of the millennial generation I find hard to understand. A government agency bucking private interest for the public good, what?).
The big motivating factor in the study of nutrition in the US was the world war, from military-nutrition.com a website maintained by the U.S. Medical Research and Material Command
So from what I can tell there are several motivating and interacting factors:

I have a tube with a Schrader valve, previously repaired (twice). I needed to use it, so I inflated it by hand until it ballooned to 2x the size, search for leakages in water (valve too) and let it all night to check for slow leakages, but none were found. Later, I put it inside the tire, inflated it by hand (~15 psi) again, put a little soap in the valve, and went to check my email. Ten minutes later, it was totally flat. I repeat the whole procedure twice and it was the same story: the tire showed no leakage outside the tire but lost all pressure when inside the tire. (Finally, it blew out while outside the tire). Why is this happening? I'm just curious ...

Your tire tube is still subject to the basic laws of physics and logic on this Earth. If air is leaking out of it, then there is a leak somewhere and it is perforated.
There is probably something in your tire causing the damage, especially if this continues to happen. It's also possible that the leak was close to the valve, and whenever the valve was up against the rim of your wheel, it was bent just so to allow the leak.
Try putting the tire in water with a bit of dish soap. The soap will make the bubbles a bit more apparent. Adding a bit more pressure and trying to articulate the area around the valve may help identify the source of the leak. Keep an eye out for tiny air bubbles forming on the surface of the tube while you hold it under water. Also, be careful to check around existing patches.
After checking the tube thoroughly, check the inside of the rim for any sharp ridges or places where the rim tape maybe has been worn too much and may let a sharp edge protrude under pressure.
Then check the tire itself for any items which may be lodged in it. Glass and metal shards can hide within the rubber of the tire, and when under load or pressure, the fragment can puncture your tube. They may not always be visibly apparent. Slowly feel around the inner surfaces of your tire (lining up the label on the tire with the valve stem can help you identify where to look if you find a hole in the tube). Sometimes I try and work slowly around the tire and bend the tire so that any gaps in the inside of the tire would open slightly and expose the fragment.
Well, I think it is not the fact that it is inside the tyre, but you are probably inflating it to much larger pressure when inside the tyre. At larger pressure tube starts to leak.

I don't know of a halachic reason, but I can think of some good practical reasons. With naming after people being a way to memorialize family members who have passed on, different family members may have different ideas about which family member is most important to remember. You really don't want to go into a Simchah with In-laws fighting with each other and with you over which deceased relative was more worthy of being remembered. The custom that parents must decide the name, combined with the practice of not announcing the name in advance minimizes (although doesn't eliminate) lobbying and arguing and hence bad feelings.
Not announcing the name in advance also leaves the parents' options open to change their mind up to the time of the Bris. I've known parents who went back and forth over which name to choose right up to the time of the Bris. If you announce the name in advance it makes it much harder to change your mind.

Exxon said the weekend breach caused a few thousand barrels of oil to spill into Mayflower, a town of less than 3,000 about 25 miles northwest of Little Rock. The Environmental Protection Agency called it a "major spill," a category that includes any spill larger than 250 barrels.
By ALISON SIDER
Crews cleaned up thousands of barrels of crude over the
weekend after an ExxonMobil pipeline ruptured and polluted an
Arkansas town -- an incident that underscored the fragility of
the US pipeline network.
Exxon said Friday's breach caused a few thousand barrels of
oil to spill into Mayflower, a town of less than 3,000 about 25
miles northwest of Little Rock. The Environmental Protection Agency
called it a "major spill," a category that includes any spill
larger than 250 barrels.
More than 20 homes were evacuated. Other neighbors left to
avoid the smell or breathing problems exacerbated by fumes,
said state Rep. Doug House, a Republican from North Little Rock
whose district includes Mayflower. He added that air monitors
have found the air is safe in most areas.
Exxon said the pipeline, which is buried two feet
underground, has been shut down.
A spokesman for the US Department of Transportation's
Pipeline and Hazardous Materials Safety Administration said
Sunday that an inspector was investigating the cause of the
breach in the pipeline.
Opponents of the proposed Keystone XL pipeline, which would
ship Canadian crude to the Gulf Coast, on Sunday drew links
between the Arkansas incident and Keystone. Steve Kretzmann,
executive director of nonprofit advocacy group Oil Change
International, predicted more incidents like the one in
Mayflower if Keystone is built.
In a review last month, the US State Department didn't find
major environmental risks associated with
Keystone. The agency said TransCanada had agreed to conditions
to reduce risks of spills or leaks.

I have come across the following problem many times in various guises in my programming career. As a simple example, consider the following:
Let's say there is a method (B) that could differ depending on customer requirements. This could be for any number of reasons. Common sense tells you that as things are now, you should write them as a common method and add branching code in the future to handle any future edge cases.
Customer 1: A-->B-->C
Customer 2: A-->B-->C
However, your experience tells you that this particular bit of code is likely to change so it would be easier to have separate methods (B1 & B2) and change the logic for one customer rather than continually add branching code making method (B) non-generic.
Customer 1: A-->B1-->C
Customer 2: A-->B2-->C
Are there any rules of thumb that can be applied in such cases or does every case have to be taken on its merits?
As an aside, I've come across plenty of people who staunchly advocate one approach over the other and I can see the merits of both. But surely there is some middle ground that can be reached based on reasoned arguments?

The 10 Best Moments from RENO 911!
Reno 911!: Miami finally hits theatres on Friday, prompting over three requests for us to break down our favorite moments from the show that propelled Nevada's finest cops to the big screen. Here are the best scenes (yet) from one of the most underrated comedies on television.

An integral domain $R$ is said to be Euclidean if it admits some Euclidean norm: i.e., a function $N: R \rightarrow \mathbb{N} = \mathbb{Z}^{\geq 0}$ such that: for all $x, y \in R$ with $N(y) > 0$, either $y$ divides $x$ or there exists $q \in R$ such that $N(x-qy) < N(y)$. A well-known "descent" argument shows that any Euclidean domain is a PID. In fact, the argument that a Euclidean domain is necessarily a UFD is a little more direct and elementary than the argument that shows that a PID is a UFD (because, in the latter case, one needs some kind of ideal-theoretic argument to show the existence of factorizations into irreducible elements). Because of this, Euclidean domains are a familiar staple of undergraduate algebra.
A lot of texts seem to emphasize the fact that a PID need not be a Euclidean domain. In order to show this, one has to show not only that some particular norm (and often there is a preferred norm in sight, see below) is not Euclidean, but that there is no Euclidean norm whatsoever. In general this is a very delicate question: for instance, the proof of the most standard example -- that the ring of integers of $\mathbb{Q}(\sqrt{-19})$ is a PID but does not admit any Euclidean norm -- is already rather intricate.
My question is this:
Given a ring $R$ that we already know is a PID, why do we care whether or not it admits some Euclidean norm?
Note that in contrast, many domains admit natural norms. A class of domains which I have been thinking about recently are the infinite domains satisfying (FN): the quotient by every nonzero ideal is finite. In this case, the map $0 \mapsto 0$, $x \in R \setminus \{0\} \mapsto \# R/(x)$ is a multiplicative norm, which I call canonical. For instance, the usual absolute value on $\mathbb{Z}$ is the canonical norm, as is the norm on any ring of integers in a number field that you meet in an algebraic number theory course.
I have recently realized that I care quite a bit about whether certain specific norms on integral domains are Euclidean. (This has come up in my work on quadratic forms and the Davenport-Cassels theorem.) There is some very natural algebra and discrete geometry here. But why do I care if some crazy Euclidean norm exists?
Here are three reasons that one might care about this:
If a domain admits an "effective" Euclidean norm, one can give effective algorithms for linear algebra over that ring, whereas the structure theory of modules over an arbitrary PID is not a priori algorithmic in nature.
(in algebraic K-theory): If $R$ is Euclidean, $\operatorname{SK}_1(R) = 0$, but there exists a PID with nonvanishing $\operatorname{SK}_1$. (Thanks to Charles Rezk for giving the precise result based on my vague allusion to it.)
In algebraic number theory, there has been a lot of work towards proving the conjecture that if $K$ is a number field which is not $\mathbb{Q}(\sqrt{D})$ for $D = -19, -43, -67, -163$, then the ring $\mathbb{Z}_K$ of integers of $K$ is a PID iff it is Euclidean (for some crazy norm). In particular, disproving this would disprove the generalized Riemann hypothesis.
Comments on 1: There is something to this, but I somehow doubt that it's such a big deal. For instance, the ring of integers of $\mathbb{Q}(\sqrt{-19})$ is not Euclidean, but I'm pretty sure that there are algorithms for modules over it. In particular, it seems to me that for algorithmic purposes, having a Dedekind-Hasse norm is just as good as a Euclidean norm, and every PID has a Dedekind-Hasse norm. In fact, for every PID which satisfies (FN), the canonical norm is a Dedekind-Hasse norm. (See p. 27 of http://math.uga.edu/~pete/factorization2010.pdf for this.)
Comments on 3: if I knew more about this result, I might appreciate it better. It does seem to involve some interesting geometry of numbers. But this convinces me why I should be interested in the special case of rings of integers in number fields, which, as a number theorist, I am already convinced are more worthy of scrutiny from every possible angle than an arbitrary domain.
If there are other good reasons to care, I'd certainly like to know.

TOPEKA, Kan. (WIBW) - A former convenience store partner is asking the Kansas Supreme Court to let his former lawyer back on his case.
38-year old Monroe Lockhart was in court Tuesday for his eighth first appearance on home invasion and assault charges. He's been without representation since March, when Shawnee Co. District Court Judge Mark Braun disqualified Billy Rork for conflicts of interest.
In a writ of mandamus motion filed Tuesday with the state's high court, Rork argues the conflicts no longer exist since charges against a co-defendant were dropped. He also says Judge Braun erred by not holding a hearing on Rork's request to overturn the disqualification in light of the new circumstances.
Lockhart is due back in court Thursday. However, Rork also filed a separate motion asking that Lockhart's criminal proceedings be stayed while the mandamus motion is considered.
Lockhart was a former managing partner of Mo's Express Convenience Store. The store's manager, Anthony Talbert, was previously charged in the November assault case and had also hired Rork to represent him. Rork was disqualified from representing either man. However, following a preliminary hearing, Judge Braun ruled there was not enough evidence for Talbert to stand trial.

5 Species You Won't Believe Are Related
#2. Hyenas and Mongooses
We know what you're probably thinking right about now. "Come on, Cracked," you say in your thick Scottish brogue (because we like to imagine that all our readers sound like Sean Connery). "Everyone knows hyenas are some kind of lopsided dogs. You can't surprise us by telling us that once you dig down past the inch-thick coat of ugly, they're practically man's best friend."
But before you run out to the nearest rescue shelter to see if there are any hyena pups available, there's something we need to tell you.
Closest Living Relatives: Mongooses
Hans Hillewaert
Dictionary be damned. The plural of "mongoose" will always be "mongeese" to us.
Wait, how could something that looks like somebody mixed equal parts broken stepladder, mange and hate be closely related to these cute and cuddly little ferret-things? It might be easier to swallow when you remember that mongooses like to murder the shit out of snakes just because why the fuck not? but, but ... CUTE! And hyenas tried to kill Baby Simba! Baby Simba! How could this be right?
Well, carnivorous mammals (the order Carnivora) are divided into two suborders: the doglike carnivores (Caniformia) and the catlike carnivores (Feliformia). You might think by looking at them that hyenas belong in the "doglike carnivore" class, but they actually belong in the suborder Feliformia and share a close branch with the mongoose family, which also includes the meerkat (e.g., Timon from The Lion King). That's right, the lovable little guy who convinces Simba to forget about all his worries is the long-lost cousin of the animals who helped kill his dad. Et tu, Timon?
Above: The "Loose Change" of the lion world.
And yes, that also means hyenas are more closely related to cats than to dogs. So be sure to pick up a litter box when you go get yourself that new guard hyena.
#1. Sea Squirts and You
We've talked about sea squirts (tunicates) before. They're the poor, unfortunate souls that swim around like little tadpoles, happy as any spermlike creature can be expected to be, when all of a sudden their evolutionary programming takes over and they attach themselves to the sea floor, devour their own brains, lose their ability to swim and filter feed for the rest of their boring, miserable existence.
So which animals do you think are these doomed little guys' closest living relatives?
Sponges? Corals? Worms? Nope.
Closest Living Relatives: Vertebrates Like You
Wikipedia Commons
Go Team Spine!
That's right, say hello to your Cousin Squirt.
Vertebrates (you, other mammals, birds, fishes, reptiles and amphibians) are the closest evolutionary cousins of the sea squirt. In fact, scientists believe that the sea squirts (especially in their larval form) may resemble the original ancestor of all vertebrate life on earth. In other words, your earliest ancestors may have looked something like this:
Jim Williams, Southwest Tennessee Community College
If we're looking at that right, our ancestors were particularly well-hung.
So consider this: Instead of inventing new technology, creating fabulous works of art and writing dick jokes on the Internet, we could have parked our asses on the sea floor and devoured our own brains.

A pathologist is a medical doctor who specializes in diagnosing diseases by examining tissue from the body. You will probably never meet the pathologist, but samples of your breast tissue and lymph nodes, removed during surgery or biopsy, will be sent to him or her for review. The pathologist prepares a summary report of his or her findings, which is called the pathology report.
The report is broken down into a few sections, including some information about the patient, such as the clinical diagnosis (suspected or known), procedure, a description of what the specimen looks like to the naked eye (called gross description), a description of what was seen under the microscope (microscopic description), and a pathologic diagnosis. In the case of a breast cancer, the pathologist will describe the type of cell the cancer comes from, the tumor size and grade, whether the cancer cells have entered the lymph channels or blood vessels, information about surgical resection margins, and hormone receptor and Her2 status. Breast cancer pathology reports are one of the more complex pathology reports and can seem quite overwhelming at first glance. To help you better understand your report, let's break down each section individually.
This is generally not that important to you, the patient. It is a description of what the pathologist received and sees with the naked eye. In a biopsy, the specimen is likely a small, nondescript piece of tissue, in which case the pathologist may describe the color, shape, feeling and size of the tissue. After a breast cancer surgery, large pieces of tissue and lymph nodes may be submitted and described in the report. This description might report the presence of "inked" margins or sutures, which the surgeon adds so the pathologist can tell "which end is up" once the tissue is disconnected from the body. There may be mention of surgical clips or wires that were used by the surgeon to be sure that the suspicious area was removed. After a sentinel node biopsy, the gross description may say a lymph node is "hot", which refers to the radioactive tracer that is used by the surgeon to locate the sentinel node, or that it is "blue", due to the presence of dye that can also be used to locate the node. The pathologist often then describes how the tissue was divided up for further analysis.
This section has told us the size of the tissue submitted, but not the size of the actual cancer. The gross description isn't helpful in determining the stage of the cancer or treatment, which is what is important to you, so let's move on to the next section.
This section may be called microscopic diagnosis or description or just diagnosis. This is the meat of the report and contains the most useful information. Not every report goes through the microscopic diagnosis in the same order and some use different terms to describe the same thing. In this section we will discuss each part of the microscopic description in detail. Sometimes the tests are performed in different laboratories or take different lengths of time to complete, which can mean you may not get all the results at once. It is important to wait for all the results to best understand your situation.
It seems simple: we are talking about breast cancer, so that's what type it is. But it is not so simple. Almost all breast cancers arise from glandular tissue, making them adenocarcinomas (cancer of the glandular tissue); they are further named by where they start in the breast and how they appear under the microscope. To better understand this section, you need to have some knowledge of normal breast tissue. Breast tissue is composed of lobules, which produce milk; and ducts, which carry the milk to the nipple. Breast cancer starts in a duct or a lobule and this, along with its appearance under the microscope, determine the type of breast cancer it is. The type can dictate some of the treatment choices, although many types are treated similarly.
In addition to the type, the cancer can be non-invasive, which means it does not spread beyond the lobule or duct, or invasive, which means it has spread beyond the lobule or duct. (See diagram below)
DCIS is the most common type of non-invasive breast cancer and is sometimes called intraductal carcinoma. It is malignant (cancerous), and as it grows, the center of the tumor starts to die because it has outgrown its blood supply. This area of dead tissue, called necrosis, can calcify, which can be detected on a mammogram. DCIS tumors are further identified by how the cells appear under the microscope, classifying them into subtypes. These subtypes are comedo, papillary, micropapillary, solid and cribiform. Many tumors will represent a combination of two or more subtypes. In general, all types of DCIS are treated similarly. (See diagram of DCIS below)
LCIS lesions rarely develop necrosis or calcifications, so are not often detected on mammograms. LCIS is not considered a true cancer, rather an accumulation of abnormal cells in the lobule. It is considered a risk factor for developing breast cancer in the future in either breast. LCIS is often found incidentally by the pathologist in a tissue specimen that was removed for another reason.
|Invasive cancer
IDC is the most common type of invasive cancer, accounting for about 85% of cases. This tumor starts in the duct and spreads beyond the duct into normal breast tissue.
ILC is less common, accounting for about 5-10% of cases. This tumor starts in the lobule and extends beyond the lobule into normal tissue.
Medullary carcinoma is rare, accounting for only 5% of all breast cancers, and carries a very good prognosis. These cancers typically have a well defined boundary between the cancer cells and the normal cells. Of note, this type of cancer will not be given a histological grade by the pathologist (discussed below).
IBC is also rare, accounting for 1-4% of breast cancer cases, and presents differently from other types of breast cancer. Common symptoms include swelling or enlargement of one breast, reddened, warm to the touch, itchy and tender skin, typically without a lump. In some cases, the skin becomes thickened and dimpled, appearing like an orange peel, giving this sign the name "peau d'orange". IDC tends to be an aggressive form of breast cancer.
TC is a rare type of invasive breast cancer, accounting for about 2% of cases. Its name comes from the pathologist seeing a "tubular pattern" in 75% or more of the specimen. TC does not typically spread to other areas of the body (called metastasize) and is associated with very good prognosis.
MC may also be called colloid carcinoma and is a slow growing tumor. This tumor is also rare and is named for the mucin (protein and sugar compound) produced by and surrounding the tumor cells. These tumors also rarely spread to other parts of the body (metastasize) and also carry a very good prognosis.
Histological grade is reported using the "Bloom Richardson Scale" or "Nottingham Score". It is a combination of nuclear grade, mitotic rate, and tubule formation, which are characteristics of the tumor cells seen under a microscope that predict its aggressiveness. Now, this scoring system is very detailed and usually does not affect treatment decisions, so it is not particularly helpful in the big picture. However, you will see it on the report and may be interested in what it means. In general, high grade tumors are more likely to recur when compared to low grade tumors.
The three scores are then combined for a total score between 3 (1+1+1) and 9 (3+3+3). This score translates to a histological grade. You may see the three values and total score or just the final grade.
The size of the tumor is reported in centimeters. One inch equals about 2 ½ centimeters. It is not uncommon for the pathologist to find additional tumor(s) in the specimen that you did not know were there. If multiple tumors are found, the size and location of each will be noted. Tumor locations are often given based on the quadrant it was found in. Imagine the breast is divided with a "+" sign into 4 parts or quadrants. They are named upper inner quadrant (UIQ), upper outer quadrant (UOQ), lower outer quadrant (LOQ), lower inner quadrant (LIQ) and "axillary tail" is used to describe the breast tissue that extends under the armpit.
Your report will give some information about the margins. These are the edges of the surgical specimen and the report will tell you how close the tumor comes to the edge. When performing a cancer surgery, the surgeon attempts to remove the entire tumor and some normal tissue surrounding it. This area of "normal tissue" is important because any stray cancer cells may be included in this. If the edge (or margin) contains tumor, there may have been cancer cells left behind. The goal of surgery is to achieve a "clear margin", that is, clear of any cancer cells. A "clean" or "clear" margin is defined as no tumor cells within 1-2 millimeters (depending on the pathologist) of the edge of the specimen. If the tumor cells are closer than this to the margin, additional surgery or radiation may be needed.
When the pathologist examines the tumor and surrounding tissue available to them, they look at the tiny blood vessels and lymphatic drainage to see if any tumor cells have invaded them. This is different from the lymph nodes and would be reported as whether or not lymphatic or vascular invasion is seen. The presence of this may be a sign of a more aggressive tumor.
The lymph system is essentially the "housekeeping system" of the body. It is a network of vessels (tubes) which connect lymph nodes. These nodes can vary in size, but are normally up to about 2 centimeters in width. They contain cells that clear bacteria and other foreign debris from the body. Lymph is a watery liquid that flows between cells in the body, picking up foreign debris and taking it into the lymph node for filtering and ultimately, elimination by the liver.
Cancer cells use the lymph system as a first step to traveling to other areas of the body. During a breast cancer surgery, lymph nodes are removed and checked for the presence of cancer cells. This will be reported as the number of lymph nodes that contained cancer cells and how many were examined. For example, the report might state "ten benign lymph nodes (0/10)" (no cancer seen) or "tumor seen in ten of twelve lymph nodes (10/12)."
In some cases, sentinel lymph node biopsy may be used. This procedure involves injecting a dye and/or radioactive tracer into the area of the tumor and allowing it to naturally drain to the lymph nodes. The first 1 or 2 lymph nodes it travels to are called the sentinel node(s). The theory is that the cancer cells would travel the same path, so if cancer cells are not present in the sentinel node, it can be safely assumed that they did not spread into the lymph system. If the pathologist finds cancer cells in the sentinel node, a full axillary lymph node dissection is recommended.
Hormone receptors for estrogen and progesterone are present in high numbers in some breast cancers, making the growth of these tumors reliant on hormones. These tumors are referred to as hormone receptor positive, ER+/PR+, ER+/PR- or ER-/PR+. The receptors are present on the cancer cells and when the hormone attaches to the receptor, it allows the cancer cell to grow and divide. Hormone therapy can be used to interfere with theses receptors, slowing or stopping tumor growth or preventing recurrence.
There is no standard for reporting the receptor status, so you may see anyone of the following:
In the case of just a positive or negative result, the percentage should be requested. This is because research has shown that even tumors with very low positivity can benefit from hormone therapy, yet some labs report low results (<10%) as negative. Therefore, the only true negative is a result that is zero percent of receptors positive.
The Her-2/neu gene stimulates production of a protein found on the surface of breast cancer cells that tells the cells to grow and divide. In about 25-30% of breast cancers, there are too many copies of the gene or the protein is over expressed on the cell surface, causing the cancer to grow faster and be more aggressive. Breast tumors are routinely tested, by one of two available tests, to see if they have too many copies of the gene or over express the protein. The immunohistochemistry (IHC) test looks for over expression of the protein and is reported as a number from 0 to +3. Zero and +1 are considered Her 2 negative, +2 is borderline and +3 is considered Her 2 positive. The second test, called FISH (or fluorescent in situ hybridization), examines the tumor for extra copies of the Her 2 gene and is reported as positive or negative. Patients with a +2 (borderline) result on IHC, should have the FISH test done in addition to clarify the borderline result as positive or negative. Her 2 positive tumors may be treated with medications, called monoclonal antibodies, targeting the Her 2 protein.
The staging system most commonly used for breast cancers is the American Joint Committee on Cancer (AJCC) staging system. This system utilizes the extent of the primary tumor (Tis-4), the absence or presence of cancer in the lymph nodes (N0-3), and the existence of metastasis (M0 or 1) to assign a TNM rating, which corresponds to a stage. The TNM rating is broken down as follows:
T Stages
N Stages (lymph node status may be assessed by the physician before the surgery, which is called clinical lymph node staging. The chart below is using the pathologist staging of lymph nodes after surgery).
M Stages
Now these ratings are combined to come up with a stage for the cancer.
Some pieces of the report are used to determine the stage of the cancer and most pieces play a role in deciding what treatment is needed. By understanding the basics of the report, you will be better able to discuss your treatment options with your healthcare team.

During a fall, the phone's potential energy ($mgh$) is converted into kinetic energy ($\frac{1}{2}mv^2$). When the phone hits the floor, it stops falling, so the kinetic energy becomes zero. That energy has to go somewhere. Some of it will be used to exert a force on the phone. If the floor is hard, then the phone gets that energy at the moment of impact, and that will probably be enough to break it. If the floor is a carpet, which is compressible, then the phone will compress it and the energy will be stored as potential energy in the "springiness" of the carpet, and released gradually.
If you drop the phone from high enough, say the top of a crane, onto a carpet, then it will still break. That's because there was more potential energy to start with, because $h$ was 100 meters instead of 1. If the phone hits the carpet and compresses it as much as possible, but still has enough kinetic energy left to break on impact, then it certainly will break.
Manufacturers routinely simulate these sorts of accidents. I would be surprised if it wasn't engineered to survive a fall from desktop height.

Kudos to RahmanOne of my favorite song in this album is Saadda Haq. This song takes a bit of time to set the mood but the high point comes in the form of some bold lyrics thrown at society with Mohit Chauhan in a never-heard before high pitched voice which leaves the listeners stunned. The highly energetic Electric Guitar (Thanks to Orianthi Panagaris) and Drum Beats (Oscar Seaton) provides an adrenalin rush and sweeps you off your feet..

Handheld Digital Infrared Thermometer and Leak Detector for $16.99 + free shipping
What could be more fun than running around shooting a laser at various items to take temperature readings? Okay, that may be somewhat childish, and after all this is a tool, not a toy. However, it is fun to see what temperature your dog's tongue is, or how cold your beer is with and without a coozie. Yet, you can also use this handheld digital infrared thermometer for detecting leaks in your home's ac and heat. Or if you are a gearhead like our boss, then you can check the temperature reading per each cylinder on your sports car. Seriously, we watched him do it.

A new type of baby monitor?
My granddaughter goes barefoot at home and whenever I'm there her poor feet are like little ice cubes. Next I visit I'll be packing this actual scientific instrument.. We'll see if my son can ignore me then!
Hell hath no fury like a granny with a digital thermometer.
These are kinda neat. I use it to check for heat loss around the house and its a great early indicator about the wife's mood. Dont shoot the eyes though
These are great for checking swimming pool temperatures and industrial uses such as thermoforming plastic sheet temperatures.
Amazon has a similar one (I noticed this one has 3 buttons vs 1) for the same price and has a bunch of good reviews. http://www.amazon.com/Accuracy-Non-Contact-Infared-Temperature-Laser/dp/B009RUPQGW/ref=cm_cr_pr_product_top
Be a bad asp kitchen ninja like Alton Brown
seriously, have seen the pros like Mr. Brown use these to check cooking temps in ovens and on skillets and grills
at this price I'm in for 2
But you can't use it for internal temps of food. It's a really useful thing, just not so much in the kitchen. It's best uses are probably for skillet temps, since all other thermometers can do everything else.
@macsblow: its different, because the one on amazon only takes temperatures. This one takes continuous temperature reading, allowing you to point this at an object and drag across and temperature will change. its a great thermometer but also very useful to insulating your home. Point and shoot and drag along the walls and floors and you will find the cold spots in your house.
Not as accurate as you might think, infrared thermometers assume a surface emissivity of usualy .95 but not all surfaces have the same emissivity obviously.
I bought this exact one the last time it was posted. It is CRAP. Comes with no real instructions, and is wildly inaccurate. It's a piece of junk and has sat in a box somewhere because it's useless. I would definitely not recommend this particular infrared thermometer. You get what you pay for, and this is NOTHING like what Alton Brown uses.
@rubysoho: We haven't seen any problems with ours. in fact we love using a few around the warehouse. We like to see who has hotter breaks on their delivery trucks. Usually fedex, but our delivery guy is nuts. These get great reviews.
I am trying to order one, but when I hit the submit button it tells me to enter phone number. There isn't anywhere to enter it.
To enter your phone number you have to click on the change your payment option, you will see that you don't have your phone number and there will be a red asterisk
No dice. I went in and put the phone number in and it takes me into an endless loop. Sign into paypal, confirm shipping, add number, sign into paypal, confirm shipping add number...... I guess I don't need it.
@shadowzero26: It's not for internal temps. It's for checking pan temperature so you can get the perfect sear. It's also useful for when you're cooking lots of stuff in batches, because your pan will cool down every time you add more ingredients. You want to know that the temperature has recovered before you add more meat. Otherwise, you'll be searing the first piece of meat, but probably merely poaching the rest.
Alton Brown, when cooking on a surface that isn't black, keeps a black disk of metal in the pan or on the grill and aims at that. It's more accurate that way. This thing is also very useful for grilling outdoors, where the surface temperature of the grill is very important, but hard to tell. Buy it and give it to the BBQ fanatic in your family on their birthday.
@trypsin: Great examples. One of our support member's uses one for cooking in a dutch oven during camp outs. Dutch ovens cook top-down, so it helps to determine if you have the right amount of heat for certain dishes.
His peach cobbler is to die for.

6 Small Math Errors That Caused Huge Disasters
If there are any children reading this, there's really only one thing we want to tell you about adulthood: If you make one tiny mistake, people will die.
Don't believe us? Let us share these tales of completely forgivable design mistakes that cost lives.
#6. An Airliner Crashes Due to Square Windows
In the 1950s, companies were making the first foray into jetliners, and leading the pack was the de Havilland Comet. It was a state-of-the-art jet with many never-before-seen features, such as a pressurized cabin that allowed it to fly higher and faster than other aircraft.
Unfortunately, in 1954, two Comets disintegrated midflight for no apparent reason, killing 56 people total. In retrospect, the name "Comet" was a bad choice.
Although it was superior to de Havilland's first choice, the "Murder Bird."
The Laughably Simple Flaw:
It had square windows.
This is one of those things that is easy to miss (the designers missed it, for instance) but easy to understand once it's explained.
Here's a Kit Kat style candy bar. Where would you say this thing is most likely to break when pressure is applied?
Along the willpower line, probably.
Right there at those sharp notches, obviously. That's why they're there, and it's why no one builds important structures out of Kit Kats.
Well, a square window is made up of four 90-degree notches cut out of your wall, creating four of these weak points. You don't need a diagram -- if you have brick or stucco on your house, go outside and look. You'll find cracks there, protruding right from one of those sharp corners:
To fix, place head in bucket of sand and hum loudly.
In engineering, that sharp corner (or groove in the Kit Kat) is called a "stress concentration," a spot where the shape of the object makes it more likely to break under stress.
You don't want the red bit.
So if you're an airplane maker, how the hell do you fix that?
Well, have you ever noticed how on every plane you've ever been on, the windows you look out of have rounded corners? Those curves are pretty much the only thing keeping the plane from tearing itself apart in midair like in that scene from Fight Club. It distributes the stress to all of the various points along the rounded curve, rather than on that one sharp corner, which otherwise would (as they found out) tend to pull apart and form a crack over time.
Trust us, this was not easy to figure out. Experts had no idea why the planes weren't holding together until they tested the structure by simulating the repeated pressurization of the cabin. Sure enough, the fuselage eventually burst like a bootleg condom, and the break started with cracks right at those window corners.
Getty / plane-crazy
Top: Safe and enjoyable ride. Bottom: Explosive Caesarean section.
Representatives from competing companies Boeing and Douglas both said that their engineers hadn't thought of it either, and that if the Comet hadn't been first, it would have been one of theirs that crashed. Planes have had windows with rounded corners ever since.
#5. Fighter Jets Crashed Because of the Angle of the Runway
You don't have to be a pilot to guess that landing on an aircraft carrier is really fucking hard. It's a tiny little landing strip crowded with other planes, bobbing up and down in the waves. Keep in mind, this is with a whole host of instruments, computers and signals to help guide planes in. The early planes didn't even have that.
But there was another problem ...
The Laughably Simple Flaw:
Here's what the earlier carriers looked like. Couldn't be simpler, right?
It's a floating runway. How else would you design it?
Well, that design was kind of a suicide factory. As you can see, planes waiting to take off sit at the other end of the runway you're trying to land on. If you don't get stopped in time, you're going to create one hell of a fireball. And getting stopped in time was no small thing -- catching the arresting wire (the thing that stopped the plane) was a tricky business. Eventually carriers went with the cartoon-logic solution and installed barrier nets to stop planes if they missed all the wires. However, it wasn't all that uncommon for aircraft to bounce over the barrier.
Like skipping stones over a pond, if the pond had sharks and you had no arms.
So what was the brilliant innovation that allowed them to make landings that much safer?
They angled the landing strip about nine degrees.
And as the Navy learned from trailer parks, double-wide is always better.
Don't laugh -- it took years to come up with it. While some of the greatest technological advances in history, including space flight and splitting the goddamn atom, came from developments during World War II, we didn't think of angling the flight deck until 1952. Prior to that, every landing was a potential rear-end collision.
By angling the deck, a plane that missed the wires could go to full throttle, take off again and come around for another pass. Planes waiting to take off are near the bow, out of harm's way.
See? Absolutely no planes in the way.
Angling the deck also allowed for the tactical advantage of being able to launch and recover aircraft simultaneously, whereas in WWII, launching had to be postponed while landings were occurring, and vice versa. Who knows how many lives could have been saved if someone had thought of doing this about 10 years sooner.
#4. A Huge Walkway Collapses Due to a (Seemingly) Inconsequential Design Change
When designing their newest hotel to be built in downtown Kansas City, the fine people at Hyatt Regency wanted all the bells and whistles in it. The architectural firm in charge of the building design came up with a series of aerial walkways suspended from the ceiling so that guests could people-watch from a heightened vantage point. All in all, it was a pretty nifty feature. Until it suddenly collapsed and killed more than a hundred people.
"We can claim these were either terrible walkways or aggressively efficient elevators."
The Laughably Simple Flaw:
One long rod was replaced with two short ones.
If there's one principle consistent across all human nature, it's that we will always prefer the path of least resistance (i.e., "if you can get away with a half-assed job, do it"). The original plan was for two walkways that were directly on top of one another to both be supported by one very long rod that would anchor into the ceiling. Like so:
This is a highly technical diagram.
Looks pretty simple, right? It all hangs off one long rod, which makes it strong, but also makes it a pain in the ass to assemble -- the rod has to extend through both walkways and then alllll the way up into the ceiling. Just in general, big pieces are hard to work with -- what's easier, to carry a whole assembled desk into your house, or a series of small pieces? The rod also has to be threaded all the way along its length so you could screw that nut up to that top platform spot.
Got to be an easier way, right? So, the steel company in charge of making the rods made a design change by replacing the single rod with two shorter ones, shown below.
The guy with the hat is Rodney, a multimillion-dollar investor. The other is Nutter.
Easier to work with, easier to install, works exactly the same. Right?
That little change killed 114 people, injured 216 more and cost $140 million in lawsuits.
Look at the first image again.
Nutter has an idea for an FTL drive, but also a tool that injects bacon with peanut butter.
One rod, two nuts. Each nut only has to carry the weight of its own platform. Which is good, because each nut (and the welded beam it's screwed to) is only rated to carry the weight of one platform.
Now look at the second image. See the nut we've labeled "OH SHIT"?
The twain shall never meet, and civilization is hollower for it.
That one single nut now has to carry the weight of BOTH platforms, and all the doomed tourists standing on them. Look obvious? Congratulations, because none of the professionals at either company caught it.
And so, one night during a dance competition, the stressed "OH SHIT" nut cleaved clean through the beam and the walkways collapsed.
Considering this was 1981 and something called a tea dance, we're willing to rule it a suicide on the part of the building.
During the ensuing lawsuits, it came out that neither the steel company nor the engineering firm in charge of construction had even bothered to do a back-of-the-envelope calculation that would have shown them this glaring flaw.

How to Spot Bad Body WorkWritten by Douglas Glad on September 17, 2007 Don't get worked by that guy selling his nightmare. You'll know your rust and Bondo enemy after we show you what problem areas to look for.
We're pretty fed up with restoration candidates. We'll go ahead and throw in "minor rust" and "needs TLC" too. We'll get these statements straight-faced from a seller while we're staring at their total piece of garbage. It's not like we've been looking for concours cars or even sheetmetal that would be considered close to perfect by our rapidly dwindling standards. It seems like each time we're presented with a potential project car, we're faced with the rusted reality that either people think they can lie to your face or they really don't know what they're talking about when it comes to bodywork. We fear the latter.
It's up to you to decide whether the car is crap or cool. Because bodywork has the biggest street machine price tag, this is an area where you should ask for help; so we're going to give you some. Consider this an education on finding the hidden damage and hacked-in repairs that can cost you serious rocks to get reworked using a perfect example: This '69 Dodge Coronet R/T. It was sold as a "perfect survivor." It really looked the part to the casual eye, but any pro would notice the signs of trouble. Then we took it apart to reveal some serious crunched, welded, and beaten sheetmetal hiding behind the sheen. Can you see it? Read and find out how.
More Photos From This Article View Slideshow
Know your body. The first thing we noticed was the wheel radius wasn't uniform to the body line. Is it supposed to be? Buy a few books, walk a few shows, and know what the body fat and lines look like stock. Note that this body line looks like a drunk drew it.The second outside indication that this fender had been hit and replaced was the gap between the top and the upper lip on the panel. Even if it hadn't been obvious that the gap was too large, it didn't match the gap on the other side. The trunklid gap was also twice the size on the passenger rear quarter.Even without taking the trim off the car, we noticed that some body filler had been sanded and painted below it. Get low. Since a seller likely won't let you take the car apart, you have to look for a sign like this. Obvious Bondo will be deeply scratched by sanding. Paint cracks mean rust, filler, or an impact. Old paint will dry up and spider or fade, not split and crack.See? We popped the trim off and found some body filler and broken welds. If you're going to restore this car, the entire rear quarter should be replaced.If you're not worried about a quarter install, check this out. The impact on the quarter damaged the tub, which supports the tulip panel, the supports for the convertible top in this case, and the seatbelt mount. All of this needs to be replaced or rebuilt for everything to work right. Get in the trunk and check it out.Here we have two different welds. Below the gold pointer is a factory spot weld. The white pointer shows a repair that has been ground down. Make sure the weld styles match. Not all repairs are bad, but this will point them out.A quick peak under the rocker panel revealed bondo that wrapped under the car. This was under the carpet and rocker trim hiding the fact that this car that had been hit in the rocker or B-pillar. This was also evident in the differing door gaps between the passenger and driver door.Also while under the car, we noticed that the floorpan had been hacked away and a new floor had been dropped in and welded. If anything, this indicates the quality of the body shop that worked on the car. We've also seen this move with a complete floorpan. The problem here is longevity. Any other repair connected to this one will crack, and soon.The doorjamb is useful for spotting carnage. This is the junction where all major bodywork collides, and the seller can't hide it from you. Note the overspray on the striker plate was ignored, the welds are different, and there's a deep scratch in the "paint" at the top of the jamb. For illustration purposes, we dug down to find that the area was mostly Bondo. No way this door will ever shut straight until this area is repaired.
Shame on you if you can't see this one. There's a big rivet right in the middle holding the upper portion of the quarter to the body. Not stock. Also, run your hand along the inside of the wheelwell; body filler will ooze through the holes made during the repair, making them obvious.We really didn't think about this one until we bought a project that had been hit in the passenger-side wheel opening. When we tried to rebuild the front end, we found it had been replaced on that side with parts from a different year. It cost us more bucks and a lot of scrounge time to find the original suspension pieces to get both sides right. Look for "new" suspension in the impact zone.You are never going to find original paint, but there are signs that indicate quality, which equals longevity. Here, the trim screws and hood bumpers were painted with the rest of the car, meaning it was likely painted at a "quickie" paint shop for a low price or as part of an insurance deal. Beware of fogged overspray as well.We were lucky that the engine bay on the Coronet was in good condition. Look at the frame where it connects to the suspension on the left and right and where it connects to the core support in front. Usually these areas are beaten straight rather than replaced and a new support is welded on. You don't want to try to align a car that has been hit hard up front.Another way to check for repairs or even original paint is behind the door panels or under the dash. The Coronet had one green door that had been painted blue and covered with a new panel. Also you can roll the lip of the carpet back to see the back of the firewall, a quick way to call BS on original-paint cars.

Ext.Loader.setConfig({ enabled : true, paths : { 'Ext.tux.EditableList': '../EditableList/js/Ext.tux.EditableList.js' } }); Ext.require('Ext.tux.EditableList');
Uncaught Error: [Ext.createByAlias] Cannot create an instance of unrecognized alias: widget.editablelist
Can anyone perhaps help me out on this one? Thanx in advance!

Hi Andrea,
good work, the only issue is I did not find the license used for this work anywhere. So I don't know if I could include it in my work or not. Let me know, thx.

Hi there,
any progress on this component?
I'm trying to insert this component into a sencha 2.1.1 project. Adapted a lot of code so far but some things I can't find a 2.1.1 equivalent.
So hopefully this can be ported to 2.1.1 very soon :-)
keep up the good work, man!
1 Feb 2013 3:22 AM #76
I've completely rewrote this component two weeks ago to adapt it to Sencha Touch 2 class system and the buffered list. Since Touch 2 is completely different from Touch 1, I cannot simply port it, but the component logic needed to be completely changed.
The result is great:
- 80% of line code lighter.
- Great performances on iOS and Android.
- Support for List components.
- Buffered.
I'm working on something bigger wich include also this component.
Thank you for your compliments.

Did Rabbi Moshe Feinstein ever formally receive semicha? From whom? I recall reading that he studied a great deal with his father, and that his first responsum was written "at his father's orders."

He (Rav Moshe) studied with his father and also in yeshivas located in Slutsk, Shklov and Amstislav, before being appointed rabbi of Lubań where he served for sixteen years. (Wikipedia)
He (Rav Moshe)joined the yeshiva of R' Isser Zalman Meltzer in Slutzk at the age of twelve, where he also learned under the tutelage of HaRav Pesach Pruskin, zt"l. When the latter opened his own yeshiva in Shklov, R' Moshe went with him and recounted that at the grand opening ceremony of the new yeshiva, R' Isser Zalman himself was present. Dei'ah veDibur
There seems to be no lack of Rabbis that would have/could have given Reb Moshe smicha aside from his father, however I was unable to find an establishment that would have given him smicha, however I am not even sure how many establishments of that nature existed during his early years.

American Autowire Nostalgia Wiring Kit - Modern Spark ...In An Old-Timey SuitWritten by on November 9, 2009 American Autowire's Highway 15 Nostalgia Wiring Kit
Up until this past summer, if you wanted to wire your car the old-fashioned way-with a quality (insulated) cloth-wrapped wire, that is-you literally had to do it the old-fashioned way, meaning individual wire by individual wire, as there weren't any full-vehicle harnesses previously available. (You could, however, have an automotive electrician scratch-wire your car, but it's getting harder and harder to find skilled individuals still willing to perform this.)
Fortunately, someone who could do something about this finally did. Thanks to American Autowire you can equip your car with one of their proven Highway 15 harnesses and get that old-timey look only a cloth-wrapped wire can provide. With their new-and-improved Nostalgia version, every single wire, from the heavy-gauge main power feed to the gauges and even the horn button, features fully insulated cloth covering, just like the good old days. But contrary to how it was back in the day with the uninsulated wire, you won't have any potential meltdown worries (granted you've taken the precautions and got secure grounding and terminal connections as well).
When I learned of American Autowire's latest at the NSRA Nats last August, my mind was more than made up-that's just what I was going to use to wire my '39, no qualms about it. My eagerness, however, may come back to haunt me, as my wish was granted and I was given the opportunity to install one of the very first harness kits. The haunting part would turn out to be that the week I chose to do the said install ended up being during the final production stages of this issue. No big deal, really, except for the fact that, that same week wound up having not only the hottest days of August, but literally of the entire summer with an average temp of 110 (yeah, boo hoo, I know). Had it not been for my garage's lack of adequate ventilation, let alone any type of air conditioning, I wouldn't have been in such a heated predicament. Luckily, I was able to knock out an old inoperable window and rig up a box fan to keep the warm air moving, which allowed me to string my '39 with the new wiring kit without too much of a sweaty mess.
Extreme conditions aside, I'm still glad I chose this particular kit as my virgin attempt at a full vehicle rewire. While it may not have each individual wire screen printed (with source/termination), like any of American Autowire's other harness kits, the Nostalgia Highway 15 did come with detailed schematics for each and every section, which are grouped alphabetically to help make things even easier. With 15 circuits (which is more than plenty for this project, but those requiring additional ones should consider the Highway 22), a 175-amp Maxi fuse main circuit breaker, ignition/headlight/dimmer switches, and enough terminal connectors to last till the next project, this kit has it all.
On the user's end, you'll not only need to be familiar with open-barrel type crimps, but have the proper tools in which to perform these styles of crimp (yes, that was plural-see the sidebar for more on the Delphi terminals), as well as standard non-insulated/insulated terminal crimps. Furthermore, it's strongly recommended the user be outfitted with the appropriate soldering equipment-if not, call in a favor from a friend who's a proficient solderer (soldering connectors helps promote conductivity).
Along with crimping pliers, wire cutters, solder, and soldering iron, you'll also need a means by which to shrink heat shrink tubing-an old Bic lighter will do, but a handheld mini-torch or even a heat gun will also do ... better. Finally, since you'll be dealing with yards of wiring, have a way to secure all that wire: a big bag of 4-inch zip ties as well as sufficient frame clamps are a good start. Or you could laboriously cotton wrap the wiring for that true, old-time look!
Crimping Tips & Precautions
All terminal crimps are not created equal. That saying can be interpreted a number of ways, but the one that's probably most important here is how crimps are created on the end user's behalf. But even before that should be considered, what's equally as vital is having proper knowledge, as well as the tooling, prior to performing a crimp. Basically, it's not the common insulated/non-insulated terminals that are a major concern (though that doesn't mean the accuracy of said crimps is any less crucial), but certain types of open-barrel connectors-namely the Delphi Packard "F-type"-designed to be crimped not by hand, but by a high-speed production machine. See where this is going? Where there's a will (or make that the proper procedure and correct tool), usually there'll be a way.
Despite what some pocket-protector, armor-shielded geek may have told you, it can be done, but without a doubt, have your handy soldering kit ready-unless you'd rather stock your garage with boxes of connectors during the learning process?! The following shows the process of manually crimping a Delphi terminal-and what you can do to secure it, even if the initial crimp isn't quite as sufficient as you'd like it to be. Also, be aware that American Autowire has a tool rental program specifically for situations like this-keep that in mind, as specialty crimpers aren't cheap.
More Photos From This Article View Slideshow
Despite the absence of one convenience factor (labeled wires), the Highway 15 Nostalgia full-vehicle kit has already been separated nicely into alphabetically categorized sections, which not only gives you a clue where to start, but where to end, too.The "15" designates the number of circuits American Autowire's Highway-series kit provides, which is more than ample power supply options for most of us (a Highway 22 is also available). Nice and compact, the panel can mount in both common and uncommon locations, such as beneath the seat-as long it's secure and shielded from the elements.Starting with the first letter of the alphabet-A-will "start" things off with the ignition portion of the install. Before scattering the spaghetti all over the garage floor, consider having all the ancillary items already in place-that includes starter, alternator, distributor, and most importantly, the engine they attach to.A word or two about tools: for specialized jobs, having not only the appropriate utensils, but quality ones, is almost as crucial as having a competent operator handling them. Wire strippers are no exception-cheap ones can damage the core wire.Same goes for crimping pliers, but it gets better: It can, and likely will, require more than one set/type to handle a job like this. Achieving a proper crimp is vital to both the holding strength of the terminal and the conductivity of the current it carries.A small piece of DynaMat Xtreme beneath the fuse panel will provide sufficient shielding from drivetrain heat and vehicle vibration. The panel features a pre-wired pigtail connection for the main power feeds; yellow/black route to ignition while red supplies 12 volts from the battery through an inline 175-amp mega-fuse (right).Initially, the stock inner framerail location was to be used to locate an XS Power S925 AGM-type battery-but even with its compact size, the presence of a Turbo 350 wouldn't allow, so under the seat it too would go. There's ample space to still use a lowered seat bottom as well as install a stereo amp and probably a few other things too.Another multi-application feature of the Highway 15 is its ability to accommodate HEI or traditional points-style ignitions. The ballast resistor, for one, is a dead giveaway for which system is used here. But considering the situation, it's kind of nice being able to "flaunt" as much of the cloth-covered stuff as possible.Immediately below the Delco ignition is something unfamiliar to a Stovebolt 6-a small-block Chevy starter. But if you'll notice, what should be the front of a manual trans bellhousing is actually an adapter from Buffalo Enterprises, which should help explain the presence of the out of place items ... or so it seems. Regardless, wiring is the same save for the solenoid-thingy part!
The ignition switch wiring will be the final portion of Section A-or the first, depending on which subsection you start with. Considering this is where the initial dose of "special" crimping is administered (see sidebar), leaving this till now isn't a bad idea. Note that the two groups of wire were covered in expandable nylon sheathing with small pieces of heat shrink tubing securing the cut ends.After mastering the way of the Delphi, snap the terminals into their prospective plug connectors and before attaching to the ignition switch included in the kit, give each wire a slight tug to ensure secure crimps (if they're not, redo and solder).The absence of a foot-activated starter switch is a definite plus, not to mention a necessity with an automatic trans-but that doesn't distract from the original aesthetics of the 70-year-old dash. Thanks to Bowtie Bits, the original '39 gauges are up to modern standards; a beveled switch bezel from So-Cal Speed Shop helps blend key switch in (a set of re-popped GM key blanks will get cut to match the current ones).With the fuse panel on the driver side of the seat pan, the charging system feed is easy to route. The harness is set up to accommodate standard SI and single-wire alternators (eliminate exciter terminal wiring for these).There is a third option, though it's no different than a one-wire alternator in terms of wiring: Powermaster's PowerGen 70-amp alternator disguised as a Delco-Remy generator, which is just what this minimally accessorized 235-six needed.Even though the Highway 15 can handle more than its share of power accessories and components (heat, A/C, wipers, radio, etc.), for now, just the four major component groups will be used. This next stage will focus on the lighting, starting with the headlight switch and accompanying harness.Bowtie Bits provided some needed preservation once again, this time with a reproduction headlight control knob that was press-fit on the new switch and uses another beveled So-Cal bezel sandwiched between the jam nut and the dash (later, the nut will get machined off, leaving just the threaded shank).Odd as it may sound, the lighting will be the only active dedicated circuits until the other accessories, such as the turn signals (which require a slight harness modification that will get covered next month), are installed. When securing fuse panel connections, make sure 3/8 inch of bare (stripped) wire is inserted into each circuit cavity-and always use a flat screwdriver with a max 0.150-inch blade.After the switch is installed and wired to the panel, there are still quite a few yards of wire to be run and almost as many connections to be made. Before wiring the headlights up, mount the dimmer first and run the power feed down from the headlight switch. The dimmer harness will supply power to your headlights, but there are a few different ways to do this depending on the applications.
Even though the intent is to eventually facilitate turn signals (using a separate turn signal harness), the headlights were wired according to the diagram for the open-wheeled vehicles with everything routed down the left framerail. The signal wiring will simply splice into the running light feed (brown wire).With help from Chevs of the 40's and Juliano's, the stock '39 headlights retain their Deco styling and appearance, but illuminate and protect like a new vehicle thanks to a halogen conversion and LED signal/marker lights (another installment soon to follow).Speaking of turn signals, unless you plan on using the popular '70s GM-based-type steering column (original or aftermarket), you'll need to improvise in order to accommodate the brake light function in the taillamps. The column harness will be used with the forthcoming signals, so just enough length of the brake feeds (green/yellow) was cut from the "tail" end.The improvisation is bypassing the steering column harness and feeding the brake lights directly from the hydraulic switch on the master cylinder. The running or park lights feed as-intended from the headlight switch.Running into "snags" isn't uncommon, especially when attempting to route wiring through a lengthy piece of enclosed framerail. To help avoid that, not to mention skinned knuckles, try using one of those inexpensive spring-loaded extractors with the small metal claws to pull rather than push.As with the headlights, the taillights (re-pops from Bowtie Bits) were wired in the same fashion with a single harness that splices off to the right-side lamp. Unlike the headlights, though, when the signals do get incorporated, it'll require a full-length feed for both lights from the column plug, so the brown (park) wire will be the only portion unaffected.Finally, some light at the end of the tunnel ...or is that gauge illumination? The final stage of the initial install can end up being one of the easiest steps to accomplish depending on the type of instrumentation used-as was the case here, with the "bulk" of the labor simply getting set aside ... literally.This is all the '39 required: fuel gauge (orange/black), grounds (black), lights (gray with bulb socket), and 12-volt lead (red/white) for main power/voltmeter. If you'll notice, the termination point for that last gauge connection is non-existent-the stock ammeter will be converted internally to a voltmeter, as a recent bad experience with the prehistoric method won't allow the use of such potentially "explosive" equipment!
At the moment, the almost-complete dash is one of the biggest visual highlights of the Chevy ... right next to the Highway 15 Nostalgia kit that is! It'll be a shame hiding that cluster behind a big ol' '41 DeLuxe steering wheel, but it'll eventually have to happen if this project's ever to see the light of day.Save for that obvious bundle of ignition wire (a safety precaution done so as not to get shorted lengthwise if the fuse panel ended up getting relocated behind the dash), the seat pan confines wound up pretty neat and tidy. What's better, everything from the battery to the fuses will be easily accessible just by lifting the seat bottom rather than having to pull up carpet or get all contorted up under the steering wheel.An F-crimp requires two steps-crimping the open wire in the core wings followed by the insulating wing crimp, which isn't meant to "hold" as much as the initial crimp, but provide support and prevent the exposed wire from bending.For smaller gauge wire (14-22 and smaller), you can find affordable crimpers like the ones shown. (For heavier gauge, if you can't find what you need, rely on American Autowire's tool rental program.) Form the initial core wing crimp first, always making sure the terminal is positioned correctly to avoid any damage to the connector portion.Visually, an F-type crimp should have these characteristics. Looks may not always be everything, but in this case, they are, as they'll tell you whether or not you've achieved a proper crimp that will hold and conduct current as intended.After performing both crimps, test the holding strength by giving the terminal a light tug to ensure no dislodging of the wire. It didn't take much effort at all to dislodge the wire from this poorly crimped terminal, but it still can be used since neither the terminal nor the exposed wire were damaged.A decent soldering outfit will solve the dilemma. Just make sure the iron of choice puts out enough wattage to handle the job-the bigger the AWG wire size, the more power required (60-100 watts for general size applications).Using a rosin-core lead solder, once the wire is crimped, add a small amount of solder above the core wings-just enough to provide a good hold. Too much solder/heat can result in a brittle connection that could easily break. And contrary to what some suggest, don't pre-tin the terminal or wire prior to crimping, as that will just turn the core strands into a solid wire and prevent a good crimp at all.

Someone under the water has total cover from someone on the land. If you are in the water but not under it you have partial cover from a land based opponent. What I'd like to know is if you are in the water (but not under it) and want to attack someone underneath the water, do they have cover and is it total or partial?

From the DMG 3.5, page 93:
(the same rule in the Pathfinder Reference Document)
My own interpretation of this rule is as follows:
If you are attacking with a weapon and you aren't subject to freedom of movement, then the surface of the water blocks line of effect. This means that two creatures who are at least chest deep in water have improved cover relative to each other. A creature who is completely submerged has total cover and therefore cannot be attacked.

New JDK 7 Feature: Support for Dynamically Typed Languages in the Java Virtual Machine
By edort on Jul 07, 2009
Over the years, the Java virtual machine (JVM) has been host to a growing number of languages. Increasingly, JVM implementations of dynamic languages are becoming available, such as JRuby, an implementation of the Ruby programming language, Jython, an implementation of the Python programming language, and the Groovy scripting language.
However, developers of these dynamic languages have faced a troublesome obstacle. When developers write engines for dynamically typed languages that run in the JVM, they have to satisfy the requirements of the Java bytecode that the JVM executes. Until now, that bytecode has been designed exclusively for statically typed languages. This design has been especially painful for developers when generating bytecodes for method invocations.
But help is on the way. JSR 292: Supporting Dynamically Typed Languages on the Java Platform, which is being implemented in JDK 7, introduces a new Java bytecode instruction for the JVM,
invokedynamic, and a new method linkage mechanism based on method handles.
