I am exactly in the situation of this question. However, my wireless card is a different model: I have a dell vostro 3460 with an Atheros AR8161 Ethernet card and a Broadcom 43142 wireless card. I previously installed Ubuntu 12.04 and having only the wireless card work, but no way to have the ethernet card work. Now, I've just upgrade to Ubuntu 12.10 hoping having both cards work (and also because it randomly frozen), but I am only able to make the ethernet card work (using linux-backports-modules).
For the wireless card, I am exactly in the situation of this reply: After installing the wireless-bcm43142-dkms_126.96.36.199-1_amd64.deb, when doing
modprobe wl, I had the following error:
FATAL: Error inserting wl (/lib/modules/3.5.0-18-generic/updates/dkms/wl.ko): Invalid argument
As Jasmine mentioned in his post, there can be conflict among stuffs for ethernet card and the ones for wireless card. Thus, I try his commands:
install cfg80211 /sbin/insmod /lib/modules/`/bin/uname -r`/kernel/net/wireless/cfg80211.ko
But I got the following error:
install: target `/lib/modules/3.5.0-18-generic/kernel/net/wireless/cfg80211.ko' is not a directory
I Think the difference is that his kernel is 3.2 and mine is 3.5. But I have no idea how to make it work

Hey guys, I recently watched The Social Network, and this might be a stupid question, but how is it possible for multiple people to work on one website? I mean, if they're working on the same page, how is that possible? And also, is it possible to upload files to an online host without making them live? Thanks in advance.

This question came from our site for professional and enthusiast programmers.
Usually when multiple people need to make changes to the same file, they use some kind of version control system to keep track of who made what changes. It also lets them merge and synchronize the changes different people make.
Very few websites consist of just one "page" and, for cases where multiple people would work on the same page, most revision control systems have mechanisms built in for merging the changes back together into a unified file.
Multiple persons working in the same files: Source control
Without making them live: Development servers & databases, which are not the same branch as the real website.
They need some kind of manager.
Typically, teams are broken up into segments that should never interfere with each other (famous last words). For instance, if the foo API depends on helpers from the people who code in C, the breakage should (never happen), but if it does, it happens because the helper app doesn't understand what you are passing to it.
That is a classic case of the right hand not knowing what the left hand is doing, which clearly illustrates the fault, which is probably mine.
If you push code without first pulling and resolving merges (while breaking what the other dev did by just removing whatever you didn't write), prior to communicating with others who edit the same, I'm going to dose you with high voltage. After that, I'm going to take you out to dinner (to make ammends for the 1.21 gigawatts) and ensure that you ingest some kind of crazy, disgusting and quite exotic food. Think ... Klingon.
You'll then thank me for that, and never do it again.
Of course you could substitute some sort of normal 'talking to' here, but what fun is that?
You'll probably find that they have developers working on different pages. A template or site master is usually created so that each page has the same look and feel. For example, if the company is using Source Control such as Team Foundation Server, each developer would check in their source code and this will allow the other developers to get their latest changes.
They could either:
For the last one, people now use distributed version control such as mercurial, git and bazar, instead of centralized version control such as CVS and subversion. For mercurial, check bitbucket.org and google code project hosting, for git, check github, which are sites that host the code for you to share collaboratively without you needing to set up a server.
Developing pages with components VS Pages as a Whole
I've worked on many large scale websites, and the way multiple people work on the same page is that most websites are portals. In general, many sites like facebook contain many controls, such as photos, ads, little blurb areas, etc, which multiple people will work on. Also, headers and footers are generally broken into their own reusable include file. This breaks the site up into components that can not only be worked on individually, but can also be re-used across multiple sites and areas.
You could use some sort of live syncing system like OneNote uses.... Furthermore, you could upload files to a host but not make your main domain link to them.
Don't forget that there can also be content management systems that some sites use to serve content so that while you may think something is a web page, it is really this mix of stuff.
Many content management systems will have a preview feature to allow authors to view content before making it publicly accessible.
All of these tools mentioned are helpful, but to me it sounds more like the OP is more asking how people keep from getting in the path of others.
In addition to using tools to solve those conflicts there is usually some division into stacks or tiers to help avoid the conflicts in the first place.
With the stack approach you have each person working on an unrelated feature (one person may be doing account sign-up and one may be doing content submission). There will be some conflict where the two may cross (user records in this example probably) and that gets handled as part of the merge to the next build.
With the tier approach someone is building all the innermost bits, when they get one portion finished another person writes the bits that sit atop those and so on. the conflicts generated here are usually when something has to be returned to on a lower tier for some later modification that could affect the next tier above and are handled in a similar manner before the next build.
The part about files promoted but not live has a wide variety of answers/implementations, but a separate server to preview on, a specific preview mode, or a user class or entitlement that pulls the bleeding edge version while regular users get the stable version are the ones I tend to see most often.
To answer the second part first, one way to upload files without making them live is to give them a name that won't be linked to. E.g. to make a new version of an
A professional programmer would always have a test system to work on, then upload to their "online host" once they are happy with the changes. You can set up a web server on your computer that will only serve pages inside your local network. Of course you could also use a separate computer, or (as I do) a virtual machine running on your main computer.
When multiple developers work together, each would have their own test system to work on, then upload their changes to a version control system that keeps track of all the changes from all the different people. See the git parable for how this works.
The version control system makes it easy to see who changed what and why. This can be checked over by whoever is in charge and then merge it into the master, and hand it over to the testing / QA department. Once they have fully tested the new features, they will approve it for uploading to the live site.
First thing to establish is that many sites aren't a collection of static pages that are worked on by one or more people.
The pages that you see as a visitor don't exist on the website to make changes to as in such sites they are automatically assembled on-the-fly by a content management system - software running on the hosting server, using content that the website owners have produced. The CMS assembles the page from the content laid out using template files (CSS and CMS's own config files) and the resultant page is served to your browser.
The site owners make changes to the content and the layout templates rather than static pages. Leading on from that your answer depends on the type of change and the role of the person doing it:
Drupal is a free and powerful content management system that provides multi-user management to handle content updates which in turn affects what is seen by visitors on pages. Drupal will also provide means to alter the behaviour of the pages, e.g. how they are laid out or if commments on an article can be posted, addressing the 1st and 2nd types of change. If doing the changes in Drupal these will be stored in a SQL database. Drupal provides some versioning/revision control of content.
A full version control system is needed for more involved site behaviour changes, the 3rd type of change e.g. introducing more features, receiving updates from Drupal, or fixing bugs on own added code, then this means changing the code and as others have posted here. Version control systems such as GIT, Subversion or Mercurial - all free - are used to manage the changes made by several developers of the site.

Hello, we have been considering homeschooling our son for a number of years but are just now seriously looking into it. We live in Colleton County in S.C. and would like any advice anyone can give us on curriculum, material and pace of schedule. Our son is entering grade eight this year with some deficiencies in language arts. I have spoke with the S.C. Calvert Academy and understand it is in fact a public school. But with the course material provided by the state and the classroom time guidlines I feel it may be a good start for us. I do, however, desire more flexability in time and course material for our son. Can anyone give me some opinons and advice on using an online public school versus total educational autonomy?

Hi, and welcome to our community.
If you use any of the SC virtual schools (Calvert, K12, Connections), then you're a public school family and will have to abide by public school requirements for scheduling, testing, curriculum, etc.
If you just purchase their curriculum (and don't register with them as a SC public school student), then you have more flexibility because they're not in control of your student's learning... you are.
For the most flexibility in scheduling, curriculum, etc., homeschooling is the best choice for most families. In that case, I recommend that you read through my FAQs first: http://www.carolinah...r.com/afaq.html They should answer many of the questions you have.
If you have other questions after reading through my FAQs, please feel free to post them here. Also, search through the messages here that pertain to virtual schooling. There have been a couple of threads about it in the past.
Posted 17 July 2013 - 09:47 PM
We have never used a virtual charter school so I can' speak to that, except to say that I know of two families that use them and it fits for their purpose. The other families that I've known that have used them haven't liked the constraints placed upon them by the virtual schools and felt it was too much like public school at home.
The wonderful thing about homeschooling is the flexibility to meet your dc's needs at whatever level and pace they need. We are very lucky that there are so many great resources available to homeschool with, although I can see where it can be overwhelming just walking into it. I would encourage you, especially with an 8th grader, to get his feedback and see how he thinks he learns best. I have one that loves textbooks and workbooks and thrives w/ a balance of textbooks and living books. On the other hand I have two that don't do well w/ a traditional textbook approach in most subjects so we use more living books for that one.

We have reveled in the freedom to pursue education on our schedule and with the priorities we feel fit our family at any given time. It has allowed us to vacation at off-season rates, tailor curriculum choices, be available for family during health crisis and even serve in the community during disasters. As another posted, the entrance to the vast number of resources is actually intimidating at first but it becomes a great blessing. Best wishes as you work through your decision. Billie Jo

Never Mind!: A Twin Novel (Library Binding)
Edward and Meg are like night and day, oil and water. Meg zigs while Edward zags. How could two such different people be twins? Well, they are, but they don't have to like it -- or each other.
Seventh grade means different schools for the pair: Brainy Meg's at ultracompetitive Fischer, while Charlton Street Alternative School is the place for freewheeling Edward. Oddly enough, it's just when Edward and Meg are finally out of each other's shadows that the trouble begins.
Within just a week, Meg's aspirations for popularity, imaginary boyfriend, and angst over a terrible yellow ensemble her mother has chosen combine with Edward's devious planning, lack of singing ability, and top-secret soft spot to set off a showdown the likes of which twindom has never before seen.
How is it, then, that this final showdown is so much fun? Could it be that Meg and Edward are more alike than they thought?
Never mind. Read the book!

Romans 6:23: The wages of sin is death, but the gift of God is eternal life. Romans 5:8: While we were yet sinners, Christ died for us. Romans 10:9: If you confess with your mouth the Lord Jesus Christ, and that He was raised from the dead, thou shalt be saved. John 3:16: For God so loved the world, that He gave his only begotten Son, that whosoever believeth in Him shall have everlasting life. A lot of people forget about: John3:36: If you have the Son, you have life and if you have not the Son, the wrath of God lies on you. In this life, we sin and we make mistakes: 1 John 1:19: If we confess our sins, He is faithful and just to forgive our sins. I had a verse that jumped out at me a few days ago. Psalm 99:8 speaks of the holiness of God and He was to the people a God who forgave, but He took vengeance on his deeds. I am not here because of my faith in the Lord Jesus, but I am here for not other reason than my own actions. To the Bakers, I am really sorry for the pain and sorrow I caused you. I really do not know what to say, but I am sorry - forgive me. And to my parents, I am sorry for the pain I have caused you. Forgive me; thank you for your love."

I have slipped the surly bonds of Earth / And danced the skies on laughter-silvered wings; / Sunward I've climbed, and joined the tumbling mirth / Of sun-split clouds, — and done a hundred things / You have not dreamed of — wheeled and soared and swung / High in the sunlit silence. Hov'ring there, / I've chased the shouting wind along, and flung / My eager craft through footless halls of air… / Up, up the long, delirious burning blue / I've topped the wind-swept heights with easy grace / Where never lark, or ever eagle flew -- / And, while with silent, lifting mind I've trod / The high untrespassed sanctity of space, / Put out my hand, and touched the face of God."

My wife had nothing to do with it. Anthony Graves don't even know anything about it. My wife don't know anything about it.

• February 21, 1986 – abducted Etta Ann Urdiales from her Conroe apartment, drove her south of The Woodlands, shot her in the head, wrapped her body in a sleeping bag and buried her; Jacobs went on six-month crime spree (nine robberies, six stolen vehicles); stopped in a stolen car near Sierra Blanco on September 9, was returned to Conroe three days later and confessed to the murder; body was discovered September 13; Urdiales was the ex-wife of Jacobs' sister's boyfriend; Jacobs said his sister offered him $500 and a place to stay if he killed Urdiales because she was pestering her ex-husband about child support and custody
• Last statement: "I have committed lots of sin in my life, but I am not guilty of this crime. I would like to tell my son, daughter and wife that I love them. Eden, if they want proof of them, give it to them. Thanks for being my friend."

If there is a network (multisite installation) with 10 sites inside. Is there a clean way to separate that site to its own site in a different server?
We might need more details, but I'm going to assume that you are using subdomains, and that you want to retain the site's subdomain name on the new server. If that's the case, then all you should need to do is export the site, then import it on the new server. Then set up a new DNS 'A' record to point that specific site name to the new server's IP number. This should override the wildcard DNS domain pointer that multisite normally uses.
So, in your DNS setup, you should wind up with something like:
Make sense?
Depending on what else you've got going on, it might be more complicated. For example, you might have to search-and-replace in the .wxr export file to fix file paths for image uploads and such.

Program The Master of Science in Human Nutrition Program provides students with a thorough education in normal and therapeutic nutrition for individuals and groups. The program is designed for students who have earned a bachelor's degree and wish to become a registered dietitian (RD) or wish to delve more deeply into nutritional science and research. The program does not currently offer options for individuals who already hold the RD credential. Students can opt to pursue the Didactic Program in Dietetics (DPD) track leading to becoming an RD, or the Nutritional Sciences (NS) track leading to work in research and industry, or as preparation for more advanced study. Both tracks stress the interdisciplinary and scientific nature of nutrition and food and provide students with a base of theoretical knowledge and methodology enabling them to continue professional growth after graduation. Graduate study in human nutrition is offered on both a full-time and part-time basis. All required courses are taught in the evening. Students have the option to complete a thesis with the guidance of a research mentor. Students who do not complete a thesis are required to pass a written comprehensive exam at the end of their first year in the program. Successful completion of the written comprehensive exam or successful defense of the thesis is required to graduate from the program. What you'll learn The Human Nutrition curriculum covers all aspects of normal and therapeutic nutrition for individuals and groups. This major also encompasses nutrition science, the application of the principles of biochemistry, physiology, and biology to human nutritional needs. Current research in human nutrition includes food preference and nutrition, nutrition assessment, and effectiveness of nutrition education (particularly by the use of multimedia) on health and eating habits. Current research in nutrition science includes physiological and genetic determinants of obesity, lipid metabolism, neutraceuticals, and diet-endocrine interrelationships. Soon after matriculation, students consult with their advisors and complete a plan of study. There are 14 required courses and 1 elective course in the DPD track. All students are expected to file a plan of study with the graduate advisor before the end of their third term of matriculation. What makes the Human Nutrition program unique? Drexel University was one of the first universities in the country to offer the DPD at the graduate level specifically geared to students with a bachelor's in another field. Extensive network of professional experiential learning opportunities and research involvement. You are part of the Drexel College of Nursing and Health Professions with access to various practice environments and educational facilities. Graduates of the program who do not receive an internship match are eligible to apply for Drexel's Individualized Supervised Practice Pathway (ISPP) to fulfill their supervised practice requirement. COMPLIANCE The College of Nursing and Health Professions has a compliance process that may be required for every student. Some of these steps may take significant time to complete. Please plan accordingly. Visit the Compliance pages for more information. Note: Applying to the M.S. in Human Nutrition with Didactic Program in Dietetics (DPD) program requires special planning. Students are admitted only in the Fall term. The first consideration before submitting an application is whether all prerequisites have been met. Students are encouraged to apply as early as possible so that transcripts can be reviewed and prerequisites determined.

Completed with a grade of B (3.0) or better in most cases. Be less than five years old for science or nutrition courses or 10 years old for other courses (based on the time of the course evaluation), with several exceptions. General chemistry courses may be 10 years old, but biology, human physiology, and biochemistry may only be five years old. In some cases, a practicing healthcare or research professional will be allowed to have certain science courses older than five years. The following courses have no time limits: English, general psychology, statistics, basic food preparation, and quantity foods. You must submit official transcripts to receive credit. Students who completed courses outside the United States are required to have a detailed course-by-course evaluation of their transcripts by a company found at: http://www.eatright.org/students/getstarted/international/agencies.aspx. What if I have not taken these prerequisites yet? Students may fulfill the prerequisite courses at another institution or local community college convenient to them. All prerequisites must be completed prior to beginning the MS/DPD in fall term. The only exceptions are the food preparation and quantity foods courses; they must be completed by spring of the second year of the program. They are available either at Drexel University or at Community College of Philadelphia.

For more information on Admissions, please visit: http://drexel.edu/grad/programs/cnhp/human-nutrition/ Curriculum Degree Requirements Course Descriptions Online Course Schedule Accreditation The Drexel University Department of Nutrition Sciences Didactic Program in Dietetics is accredited by the Accreditation Council For Education in Nutrition and Dietetics (ACEND) of the Academy of Nutrition and Dietetics, 120 South Riverside Plaza, Suite 2000, Chicago, Illinois 60606-6995, 800.877.1600. Outcomes Drexel's MS in Human Nutrition graduates have exceptionally high placement in dietetic internships. Over the past three years (2012-2014), 90% (47/52) of graduates of the program have received a match with a dietetic internship (national average 51%). Drexel's MS in Human Nutrition graduates have an exceptionally high pass rate on the entry-level RD exam. Over the past two years (2012-2013), 100% (16/16) of graduates passed the exam on their first attempt. MS/DPD: A Step Towaregistered dietitian Becoming a Registered Dietitian If you have a desire to promote optimal wellness and quality of life for people of all ages through better nutrition, and if you have an interest in and capacity for science, the Didactic Program in Dietetics option may be of interest to you. The program requires 45 graduate credits and may be completed in two years with full-time study and is the first step to becoming a registered dietitian. What Is a DPD? The Didactic Program in Dietetics (DPD ) provides the coursework required to become a registered dietitian. Students who want to become a registered dietitian must successfully complete coursework approved by the Accreditation Council on Education in Nutrition and Dietetics of the Academy of Nutrition and Dietetics. For students pursuing a Bachelor of Science in Nutrition and Foods, all DPD coursework will be completed as part of the degree plan of study. For students pursuing a Master of Science degree, the prerequisite courses (listed on the Admissions tab) fulfill a part of the required DPD coursework. Upon completion of the DPD program, students receive a verification statement, which shows successful completion of the DPD and allows entry into a dietetic internship. Bachelor of Science students are required to earn a grade of C or better in all DPD courses to receive a DPD verification statement. Master of Science students are required to earn a grade of B or better in all DPD courses to receive a DPD verification statement. What Is a Dietetic Internship? After you complete your MS/DPD program, you must apply for a dietetic internship (also called supervised practice). While the DPD provides mostly classroom training, the dietetic internship provides hands-on training. Dietetic internships provide at least 1,200 hours of supervised practice (unpaid) and are usually completed in eight to 12 months, depending on the availability of a part-time schedule. Entry to a dietetic internship is competitive. You will likely need at least a 3.2 undergraduate GPA and relevant work experience in healthcare to be a viable candidate. After completion of the internship, you are eligible to take the registration examination for dietitians. What Does It Mean to Be a Registered Dietitian? Registered Dietitians are food and nutrition experts employed in a wide variety of settings who find exciting jobs working as: Clinical dietitians—who provide medical nutritional therapy for patients in hospitals, physician offices, and other locations. Sports dietitians— who work with competitive and recreational athletes, and for sports teams. Wellness dietetians - who work in corporate wellness programs Community dietitians—who counsel individuals and groups on nutritional practices designed to prevent disease and promote good health. Management dietitians—who oversee large-scale meal planning and preparation in healthcare facilities, business and industry, and colleges and universities. Consultant dietitians—who often work under contract with healthcare facilities. Private practice dietitians—who counsel individuals and groups on good nutrition to improve health. Education dietitians—who teach nurses, dietetics students, and others about nutrition in higher education.

This isn't really a research question, but at least it's research-level mathematics. I'm talking with some other people about the first uncountable ordinal, and I want some facts to inform this discussion. Specifically, what useful or interesting foundations of mathematics do or don't allow one to prove the existence of an uncountable ordinal?
If you don't have a better interpretation, then for "useful", you can probably take "capable of encoding most if not all rigorous applied mathematics"; for "interesting", you can probably take "popular for study by researchers in foundations". For "existence of an uncountable ordinal", you could take "existence of a well-ordered uncountable set", "existence of a set whose elements are precisely the countable ordinals", etc.
Hopefully there is a body of known results or obvious corollaries of such, since it could be a matter of some work to apply this question to foundational system X, and I don't expect anybody to do that.

When I was looking some web apps they said our apps are "commercial open source". I understand "open source" but what is "commercial open source" what kind of license they are using?
"Commercial Open Source" software is released under an Open Source licence and accompanied by additional (and often optional) paid services for people who want them.
Many commercial organisations are built around Open Source software; they give the software itself away and offer paid services in support. For example:
In both of these cases, the "commercial" part of "commercial open source" is a reference to the add-on services and not the software licence itself. That said, it's important to read, understand, and ask questions about the licences for any products you use.
Without you saying just who they are I can't tell what license they are using. However it is possible for commercial and open source to go together. Open source means you can see the source code. They could make their money out of supporting the product, or maybe hosting it for you. That's the model that Red Hat use.

Metatron is believed by some to be Enoch transformed into an angel. Some time ago on chat someone said that he is part of official Catholic dogma. However, I couldn't really confirm this with a cursory Google search as I keep running into stuff talking about Jewish beliefs. Thus, I'm wondering just how official Metatron is within Catholicism?

I am not a Catholic but I will try to answer anyway.
The term dogma has a specific technical meaning: it refers to a belief that Catholics are required by the Church to accept. There are many beliefs which are not dogmas, even if they are widely held to be true.
The book Fundamentals of Catholic Dogma by Ludwig Ott (1952) is a standard reference. He lists ten beliefs under angelology.
Among these, 1, 2, 8 and 10 are listed as "de fide", meaning true by reason of divine revelation; 4, 7 and 9 are "sententia certa", meaning theologically certain; 3 is "sententia communis", meaning commonly believed but not necessarily certain; and 5 is "certa" for the fallen angels and "communis" for the rest. No mention here of Metatron, or anything of the sort.
The Catholic Encyclopedia says under "Angels" that "no proposition touching the angelic hierarchies is binding on our faith". It refers to De Coelesti Hierarchia by Pseudo-Dionysus, and the Summa Theologica by Thomas Aquinas, as containing commonly accepted beliefs about the different types of angel; neither of these mention Metatron, or any figure fulfilling that role. All such writings are seen as speculative, and within the domain that theologians can legitimately argue about. Metatron crops up only in the encyclopedia entry for "Kabbala", but the context is explaining that it is a belief held within Judaism.
In conclusion, it seems that Metatron is very far from being Catholic dogma, or even a belief that many Catholics hold.
St. Michael, St. Gabriel and St. Raphael are the only named Archangels on the feast of the Archangels on September 29th.
We have no named angels except those three and no public revelation except the Bible, therefore no angel named Metatron.

Post-Gastrectomy Gastronomy
Nine months ago I had a total gastrectomy. During the first few days I had much discomfort and distress because eating even a small amount led to both colic and diarrhoea. Fortunately, this period passed as I learnt what to do and as the disturbed reflexes that link the alimentary canal re-coordinated themselves. This much they tell you at the hospital but they tell you very little else.
Since there is more to say, I offer the suggestions and tips below in the hope that they may be of use and collected in an anthology of others' experiences - which may well be different. Finally I offer a tip which has, for me, resolved most of the problems.
The challenge is to eat enough to have some energy and avoid losing weight. The problem is discomfort on eating. This comes in the form of pain where the ileum is joined to the oesophagus, colic in the intestines and sudden uncontrollable diarrhoea (known as 'hurry' and 'dumping'). There are ways of avoiding, or at least mitigating, these problems.
Although I was advised to sit upright after eating, the most comfortable position seems to be to recline on a couch. Indeed, eating at the table is the most uncomfortable position. 'Grazing' while walking about seems to work quite well but sitting at table definitely can be awkward. This is compounded if you have delayed eating and become tired when the eventual meal will be even more difficult to eat.
There is an assumption that invalids should be fed soup and gelatinous porridge or gruel but both involve a lot of bulk for little nutrition. Further, soup may not need chewing but actually the act of chewing is beneficial and slows down the rate at which you ingest the food. Real food is better - although at first in very, very small portions - and pleasurable.
Generate confidence and successes for yourself by only taking small portions onto your plate. Take only what you know you can eat. As any child will tell you, food left on the plate becomes the subject of reproach whereas taking a second helping is always a treat.
I asked my neighbours to bring me small plates of their 'left-overs'. This variety of interesting dishes is fun and very convenient! Similarly, in the restaurant, I ask for an extra plate and treat my friends' meals as my buffet. Leave room for their puddings!
Certain foods do not suit you - but most are fine. I find unpleasant food or drink that is highly spiced or acidic. I no longer eat curries, pickles, certain fruit and I forgo all wine. Fizzy drinks and cold drinks cause discomfort so I avoid or warm them. But everything else is OK if I chew it well and take it slowly. When the diarrhoea does strike, beware jumping to conclusions and excluding a particular item from your diet on the basis of just one occasion. There is a lot of random luck involved.
I have a supply of snacks which I enjoy eating between meals and if I wake in the night. Custard tarts at 180 calories each, ginger biscuits at 35 calories and bananas are my delight. Vegetable juice goes with gin quite as well as did the tonic water. On the other hand, the prescription foods fail to please.
On hot days when I need to drink extra fluids, I add a little sugar to the glass of water which makes it much easier to drink.
Since most of one's calories are used to keep one warm, if you wear extra clothes you will not need to eat quite so much!
Sometimes colic does recur. It is painful and very unpleasant. Peppermint oil is widely recommended and works very well. Place a few drops in a cup of boiling water, recline on a couch and slowly sniff and sip it.
I assume my absorption of nutriments is imperfect so I take the following supplements: multi-minerals, extra magnesium, vitamin C, vitamin E, a B complex vitamin pill and a quarterly B12 injection. I also take acidophillus and live yoghurt to boost my intestinal bacteria.
The most useful discovery was the value of uncooked porridge oats for breakfast. Breakfast had been the most difficult meal. Now I have discovered that 85 grams of porridge oats (best quality from a health food shop), soaked overnight in full cream milk, sometimes with currents and sunflower seeds, is easy to eat and remarkably effective for the whole day.
I eat it as I wander around making my early morning cup of tea. It provides almost 500 calories which is a wonderfully significant part of my daily requirement and has eased the obligation to snack. But even more useful, it seems to regulate and stabilize the whole system which now feels quite robust: 'hurry', 'dumping' colic and diarrhoea are no longer a problem. In fact, my difficulties stemming from the gastrectomy are largely resolved.

I want to know that I can connect micromax a100 with the eclipse for android development or not. From other community I found that for development purpose micromax device can not be used. Also I doesn't found any usb driver for that. So please help to come out that.
I don't know this device but Eclipse doesn't care about this, your bridge between your Android phone and your PC is
The only real problem are the drivers; the suggested platform for Android development is a Gnu/Linux distribution but many people still use Windows or Mac, with Windows you must have the right drivers for your device because otherwise you can't use it and you can't connect it to your PC. On a GNU/linux distribution you don't have this problems and the setup is much more easier.
After research about the multiple company devices, I found that windows operating system require device driver. If your device has no driver then you can not use your device for development purpose in windows. While linux has some flexibility in that one. You can connect and use any company device for development purpose that I have tested and used. You have to modify only 51-android.rules file for you device. I answer my own question because this information become useful to many other community members that I think.

Some authorities have stated publicly and without explanation that if the theories of Special and General Relativity were not taken into account in the design of the GPS (by building the satellite clocks to run 38us/day slower than GPS time before launch aka 'the factory offset), the position indicated by an earthbound GPS user device would drift by about 11km/day. I've considered this for various GPS models but can only predict much smaller effects. That multiplying the 38us/day uncorrected difference from GPS time by the speed of light yields 11.6km/day, does not for me seem to relate to GPS receiver function. Please reply with references if possible. I'd be very glad for any pointers.
The satellites' clocks are corrected for GR and SR but this is irrelevant for navigation purposes. Your receiver is comparing the time difference between the time sent by a number of different satellites.
If this time is in 'earth' seconds or 1 part in 10^10 speeded up 'space seconds' is to first order irrelevant - so long as all the satellites experience the same effect. So the choice is to broadcast at 10.23 MHz and let the signal be a slightly different frequency when it reaches the ground, or adjust the frequency to 10.22999999543 MHz onboard so it's 10.23MHz on the ground.
I think this is where the urban legend of the 'USAF didn't believe in relativity and weren't going to correct the clocks' comes from.
Of course although your position relative to the satellites is unaffected by the time dilation - the satellites' own knowledge of time and so its position in its orbit would accumulate an error. To allow you to find your absolute position the satelite also broadcasts its own position in orbit.
The satellites are in orbit at about 20,000km altitude, 26500km from the centre of the Earth so have an orbit of 165,000km which they cover every 12hours. An error of 38.6 μs/day in a path of 333,000km/day still gives a position error (of the satellite) of only a fraction of a meter - although this accumulates with time.
This could be corrected by giving the satellites an adjusted figure for their orbital speed or by updating their empheris as they pass over the ground station.
If you look at the wikipedia page about GPS and relativistic corrections, they make it clear that this 10km/day drift applies to the 'pseudoranges' - the initial distance calculated between the receiver and each satellite. This error would cancel out in solving the triangulation problem to obtain the receiver position, since it is a an equal error in all the satellite clocks.
Here is my guess as to why they chose to correct this effect: the individual clocks all have some drift as well, and are periodically synced to a master timebase on earth. If they were allowed to drift so drastically from the master, it would be necessary to adjust every clock simultaneously, or navigation would be completely out of whack. Somewhat simpler to just adjust individual units as their drift becomes noticeable.
Found the answer after drawing a blank with several experts. Two US professors of high GPS pedigree, independently explained that the '10km/day' claim presupposes that between 1 and 3 of the satellites used for a 4 satellite fix do not incorporate the 38us/day clock rate ('factory') offset. They also remarked that the GPS is often used as a time source where observed time shifts are clearly important.
I and others have been vexed by several scientific authorities publicly repeating the 10km/day position error claim without any mention of that presupposition. The question is resolved but the presupposition seems strange because relativity shifts all the observed satellite clock rates approximately equally. That presupposition seems only to allow GPS position finding to be shown to be about as susceptible to transmitter clock differences as radio-location systems such as Loran, where relativity is not a consideration.
Sincere thanks to those who replied to my question.

According to WFIW Radio in Fairfield, former Wayne County Sheriff Jimmy Hinkle has re-filed his lawsuit against two area Illinois State Police Detectives, Rick White of Fairfield and Tom Oliverio of Salem.
Barely two weeks ago, a federal judge threw out Hinkle's suit, giving him 21 days to file an amended complaint. Hinkle alleges he can't find a job in law enforcement because of alleged statements made by White and Oliverio. He also alleges a restaurant he operated in Effingham folded for the same reason.

Final Fantasy X | X-2 HD Remaster opening cinematic transports you back to ZanarkandWritten by: / / 7 Comments
Following on from the new combat-focused trailer and screens released for Final Fantasy X | X-2 HD Remaster earlier this week, Square Enix has shared a CGI sequence from the opening hour of FFX where we see the game's hero Tidus engaged in a blitzball match that quickly takes a turn for the worse after a mysterious entity known as Sin attacks the bustling seaside metropolis of Zanarkand.
Although Final Fantasy X contains many more CGI cutscenes than FFX-2, the pre-rendered sequences in both games are of equal quality since they were created by Square Enix's Visual Works studio who are behind the stunning CGI in other titles from the developer including Kingdom Hearts II and Parasite Eve II.
Here's the video:
Final Fantasy X | X-2 HD Remaster will land in North America on March 18th and in European territories on March 21st. Head over here for El33tonline's previous coverage of this highly anticipated compilation, and be sure to let us know in the comments which Final Fantasy game you feel has the best opening cinematic.

Various methods of tumor vaccines have been studied in many different cancers with varying success. Until the time of publication of this trial, the major successes have been with prophylactic vaccinations (specifically against viruses that are implicated in cervical cancer and hepatoma). Perhaps a large reason that treatment vaccines have not found great success is that they are tried as second and third line treatments. They are often given to patients who have very advanced disease and a weakened immune system to react to the vaccine due to the various chemotherapy regimens to which they have been exposed. This trial reports on results of using an autologous vaccine against a patient's own renal cell carcinoma. The results are impressive, as the progression free survival was significantly higher in those patients receiving the vaccine. This is in contrast to other negative studies that had smaller patient populations and a different method of vaccine preparation. Weaknesses of the trial include the fact that they did not verify an immune response using a surrogate marker such as delayed type hypersensitivity reactions. The authors defend this correctly by stating the fact that these reactions are not reliable. The main limitation in the broad acceptance of these results is simply the applicability of the results. A relative minority of patients will have access to large institutions that have the means and technology to produce an individual vaccine such as was administered in this trial. Although this remains a major hurdle to overcome in the field of tumor immunotherapy, these results are impressive and should be considered in a disease that has limited other reliable options in terms of adjuvant therapy.

Your tax-deductible gift to the Naval Institute Press underwrites worthy books that might not otherwise be published.
In late November 1944, just a day before Lt. Gen. Jacob Devers' Sixth Army Group was to launch a bold attack across the Rhine into Germany, Gen. Dwight Eisenhower ordered a halt to the operation. Such an unexpected opportunity to cross the river, seal off the German 19th Army, and maneuver behind the German 1st Army fighting General George Patton might have ended the war six months early. Until now, few have ever heard about this lost opportunity, and historians have never fully explained why Eisenhower stopped Devers, nor have they analyzed the possible outcome of such an attack. This book does just that, exploring what might have occurred had Ike allowed Devers to cross the river.
Colley judiciously cites the opinions of many high-ranking generals, including Patton, that the attack would have been a bold and likely successful maneuver that could have saved thousands of lives. In rolling out this alternative historical perspective, the author offers insights about Eisenhower that illuminate the potential consequences of his cautious leadership and his rejection of a man he disliked and whose strategy he lacked confidence in. Colley points to Ike's reliance on old friends, sometimes regardless of ability, and argues that the conduct of World War II in Europe was often determined by personal amities and animosities. It is the only book to be written about the aborted action and how politics and personalities intervened to deny an opportunity to shorten the war. Its premise is certain to engage all interested in World War II and its lessons.
Published in cooperation with the Association of the United States Army.
David P. Colley is an award-winning journalist and author who has written for many national publications, including Army, World War II, American Heritage, and The New York Times. Among his books on military history are The Road to Victory, which received the Army Historical Foundation's Distinguished Book Award in 2000, Blood for Dignity, and Safely Rest. He has appeared on the History Channel and Eye on Books. Colley served in the ordnance branch of the U.S. Army. He lives in Easton, PA.

"The Rhine wasn't crossed until March 1945. Had Eisenhower let Devers make his attack, we might now be celebrating the 65th anniversary of a cross-Rhine attack that quickly ended the war in Europe. Instead, we will soon mark the anniversary of the costliest battle in American history, the Battle of the Bulge." -David Colley's New York Times Op Ed Article on 11/22/09
Op-Ed Contributor: How World War II Wasn't Won
Praise for Decision at Strasbourg
"In Decision at Strasbourg, military historian David P. Colley shows Supreme Commander Gen. Dwight Eisenhower at his worst, blindly rejecting a brilliant plan to stick with the "broad front." At the same time, Colley rescues from obscurity Gen. Jacob Devers, commander of the Sixth Army Group, an unsung hero of the European Theater who just might have delivered the Nazis the decisive blow. This is a fresh look at why the Allies paused and gave the Germans a breather late in 1944 when German defenses on the western front were in disarray." —Armchair General
"A provocative, fresh interpretation of Eisenhower's controversial decision to halt Lieutenant General Jacob Devers's VI Army Group short of the Rhine River. Decision at Strasbourg is sure to lead to a reevaluation of the battle within the Allied High Command and how the war on the Western Front might have ended in 1944. This is contingency history at its best." —Col. Cole C. Kingseed, USA (Ret.), coauthor of New York Times best seller Beyond Band of Brothers: The War Memoirs of Major Dick Winters

How Many Leaves Does Your Shamrock Have?
It has become a holiday tradition in my family, along with the wearin' of the green, to complain about the epidemic of four-leaf clovers substituted for St. Patrick's Day shamrocks.
In brief (and not that I need to tell you): the shamrock, symbol of St. Patrick (or, rather, symbol of the Trinity used by St. Patrick) and thus of Ireland, has three leaves. The four-leaf clover is a good-luck symbol that has nothing to do with St. Patrick's Day.
You may never have given it a second thought, but if you keep an eye out as you go about your business today, you'll probably be surprised how many inappropriate four-leaf clovers you (forgive me) overlooked before. It's an irritating mistake, like typos on menus ("burger's" or "Fresh Soups Everyday"), at least if you're the type of person who is easily irritated by such things. (In some cultures we are known as "copy editors.")
It is also, perhaps, a sign of widespread disregard for the religious significance of the holiday -- but there it's in very good company, because let's be honest, there isn't much that's religious about the American celebration of St. Patrick's Day. It's an ethnic-pride holiday, and in a lot of cases it isn't even that so much as an excuse for drinking too much. "Happy St. Patrick's Day! Be safe, everybody!" is a message I still see popping up on my Facebook wall. I don't think the implied danger has to do with praying too hard.
It's easy enough to see how four-leaf clovers worked their way into the holiday's iconography: they're lucky, and there's all this talk of "the luck of the Irish" (though if the Irish were really that lucky they probably wouldn't have needed to establish an ethnic-pride holiday stateside). Maybe it's time to accept the error, and use it to help distinguish between the minor church feast dedicated to St. Patrick and the secular bacchanal with which it coincides.
When it comes to the St. Patrick's Day Parade and disputes about the inclusive or discriminatory policies of same, that tension between religious identity and cultural heritage is what causes all the trouble. Why would gay groups want to "crash" the parade? Could be because they just want to "draw attention to themselves" (said the pot to the kettle).
Or, it could be that a lot of gay people are Irish, and they want to participate in the annual display of Irish pride. The question they, and a lot of onlookers, would ask, is: Why should Catholic doctrine and/or ingrained prejudice determine who gets to go parading? (Apparently, the Ancient Order of Hibernians says that's not the issue at all -- but nobody believes it.)
To say that (family-friendly) gay and lesbian groups cannot march under their own banner strikes many onlookers -- who can see clearly enough that the St. Patrick's Day parade on Fifth Avenue is far from a religious procession -- as an arbitrary exclusion. As Peter Quinn suggested in an interview on NPR yesterday, it could also be seen as out of step with the origins of the parade as an "immigrant event": "You know, the parade is about inclusion. I think that was in the beginning, about immigrant communities trying to find its way in. And I think that immigrant community should be inclusive within its own borders. Times have changed." He also summarized the original message of the parade, in nativist times, as "We're not ever leaving, we're here to stay and, you know, we're proud of who we are." Where have I heard that sentiment before?
My prediction is that either the parade's organizers will relent and allow gay groups to march, or the event will suffer a loss in status and become just another NYC ethnic-pride parade (there are more than you think). Who knows, that might be good for the religious side of the holiday. It could be an opportunity to develop a spirituality of St. Patrick that isn't grounded in Guinness: for example, I like this invocation of Ireland's non-native saint to pray for modern-day victims of human trafficking.
As for four-leaf clovers on St. Patrick's Day, I suspect they're here to stay, and I'll just have to get used to it.

It's an ethnic-pride holiday, and in a lot of cases it isn't even that so much as an excuse for drinking too much.
Isn't it convenient that this year it almost coincides with Purim http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Purim so that, in an act of inter-religious celebration, the Irish and the Jewish can meet and drink together!
What's wrong with "fresh soups everyday"?
As a culinary policy, nothing. But "everyday" should be two words.
Our parochial vicar from Northern Ireland preached this morning on St. Patrick as an example of both the new evangelization and inculturation. On both points, he emphazed the inclusiveness of St. Patrick's approach. He didn't mention parades, and I doubt they figured as a subtext in his mind. But if you look at just what he said about the saint, inclusion of LGBT Irishmen in the parades would seem to be a foregone conclusion.
Oh yeah.
Don't mean to burst your bubble, but thisvideo will put the shamrock analogy in ersoective http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=KQLfgaUoQCw
That was in perspective.
This year I'm overlooking a four-leaf clover, and instead, looking at my altogether splendid wife. Met her St. Patrick's day while drinking green beer at a Catholic social club I won't say how long ago. This year We'll be hosting a large family gathering in mid-April, but still...
So I have a soft spot for St. Patrick's Day, so there will be some green beer.
Hasn't there been an altenative parade with the popular drag artists Panti Bliss? I suggest that this parade is more reflective of Ireland today than a creaky, stuffy, elephantine homophobic cult-event.
The truth shall make you free, but no one said that it would make you comfortable, Grant.
The shamrock is such a perfect teaching tool for creating an image the human mind can hold of the Holy Trinity. I will not let it go as my symbol for the feast of St. Patrick. Truly the Irish cannot be said to be very lucky when looking back on their long difficult history. However, they were blessed to have such a teacher as St. Patrick, whose mission yielded a rich cast of "saints and scholars".
It is my prayer to St. Patrick that the country will heal from the consequences of many years of a repressive and powerful church hierarchy. I pray that the justified anger and disgust of Irish Catholics will evolve into forgiveness and that the Catholic Church will rediscover its true purpose: to spread the message of the Gospel of Jesus Christ in love.
By the way, I do enjoy a glass of Guinness on St. Patrick's Day!
Is loss of faith the fault of the Irish Tridentine church? I fear we must look closer to hand.
In so far as the ethnic group analogy goes, isn't there a gay pride parade every summer?
Do the Irish march in the Puerto Rican Day parade with their own banner of ethnic pride?
We have gay marriage in New York, which I highly doubt was anticipated by the original people who asked to march in 1990. Why does this parade matter anymore for gay rights?
This is a bit late, but here are some beautiful antique colored photos of Ireland between 1890-1900.
The following was sent to Guinness USA for their caving in to the the radical,vocal elements of the LGBT cabal.
"I and other members of my Irish families are starting a boycott of your products because of your withdrawing support for the New York City St.Patrick's day parade. The Parade is in honor of St Patrick and all are welcome No organizations NRA, Red Cross, et all, are allowed to march under their own banners and the gays, lesbians,trangendered and whatever are not being treated any differently. They can march with any school, band, County, military unit, city and town police, fire department. Letting LBGT influence your business decision may have repercussions."
As a sponsor of the parade your company was no doubt aware of the Parade guidelines which the LGBT were trying thwart, see Guideline Nos.4 and 12
All units must have two (2) flags.
Irish & American flags or no flags at all.
An American
flag on the right and an
Irish flag on the left.

"odd ball" dress
is not permitted.
animals or mascots
No eating, drinking or smoking
in the Line of March.
No displays
of any kind will be permitted.
Units should make sure they are in
proper formation
before approaching Fifth Avenue.
After units get on Fifth Avenue,
no stragglers
should be allowed to join the unit.
Unit marshals should be on the
alert for this at
each intersection.
Please be viligant.
Shirts with advertising are
NOT an appropriate form of dress.
No children's pull or push wagons permitted.
Please remember, you are on Fifth Ave. for one hour once a
year and you should march with
pride in your heritage
and dress accordingly,
For your information the LBGT cabal have their own parade in New York City and contingents which
oppose the gay/lesbian life style are not welcome. In the not so distant past the gay parades featured
the topless Dykes on Bikes, formal dress was bow ties,bare chests and bare bottom chaps for men and
the performance arts of simulated,perhaps even real, sex acts in front of St.Patrick's Cathedral.
This is what it looks like today
Will your company be supporting their parade in the future?
Oh shit, I'm sure Guinness will now have the courage (*badump!*) to resist the "LBGT Cabal."
But will they stand up against the Illuminati?

I tried to do the same with
FileNameSetter, i.e.

but that doesn't work, and the control is a slider. I can work around the issue like so:
