Can a student write a paper and send it to a professor review?
Sure, why not?
But let me suggest a better plan. What you need is a faculty mentor. If you have a favored topic that you are working on, then first simply go and speak about it with a knowledgable professor about it in person. It will be extremely helpful to you to have a faculty mentor in your mathematical work. You can explain your idea and result and discuss it with him or her. Please try to listen to what the professor says about your idea. In the best situation, he may be able to guide you by providing some ideas that will help you to extend or improve your results. (In other circumstances, you may learn that the result is already known, or trivial or wrong in some way, which would be extremely important for you to know if it is true.)
In the best circumstance, the professor may encourage you to continue on the project and write a paper. In this case, most professors would also be willing to review the final draft, or even to supervise an undergraduate research experience based on the topic. Usually writing a mathematics paper involves many more drafts and revisions than novices expect, particularly when the author does not have much experience with mathematical writing. The help provided by a faculty mentor will enable you to bring your work to a higher level.
Yes, this has been done and in fact there is an award for undergraduate mathematics research the Frank and Brennie Morgan Prize for Outstanding Research in Mathematics by an Undergraduate Student
Permit me to draw attention to a relatively new journal, Involve—A Journal of Mathematics. Snippets from About the Journal:
I would guess that nearly all of the papers that have appeared in its first nine issues reflect work supervised by a faculty mentor, and a good percentage are coauthored with that faculty member (and not infrequently with more than one student).

Summit County's new snow was a welcome sight for the snow enthusiasts, who switched up their weekend plans to take advantage of the extended season at Copper Mountain, Breckenridge and Vail ski resorts that started on Friday and continues through 4 p.m. today.
Skiers and boarders came from all over the state - and country - to pack in as much winter recreation as they could. For many, the extended ski weekend served as an excuse to forget about their responsibilities for the day and have some fun instead.
Max and Jane Grady came all the way from Iowa to ski at Copper Mountain Resort. They said they made the trip especially for the spectacular spring snow conditions in Summit County.
Aaron Seeman traveled from Centennial when he heard that Copper was going to be open this weekend. He said if he weren't at the ski area, he would have been working on his house.
"I had one day left on my four-pack pass and decided to use it - so it worked out well," he said. "The conditions are fantastic for April 20."
John Edmonds and his 9-year-old daughter Sidney came out from Denver on Saturday to ski.
"We weren't going to be in the area but then we found out Copper was going to open up," Edmonds said. "So we came up yesterday because the kids had the day off from school."
The Edmonds family had such a good time on Friday they decided to stick around an extra day.
"It's fun. There's a ton of snow," Edmonds said. "It's powder and it's not too cold."
Guests have given employees positive feedback for their decision to re-open for the weekend.
"We have had a really great response with people coming out to take advantage of the snow," said Stephanie Sweeney, public relations coordinator at Copper Mountain Resort on Saturday morning. "And it just keeps coming down. It's exciting."
Employees played a big role in the resort's ability to reopen for the weekend.
"Some staff decided to stay on because the conditions are great and everyone's really enjoying it," Sweeney said. "We really appreciate all of our employees sticking around another weekend to help us out and get the mountain open."
Plus, she said, the staff can take advantage of the opportunity sneak up the mountain in between shifts.
Breckenridge opened up about half of its acreage with the Peak 8 package this weekend, said public relations manager Kristen Petitt Stewart.
"We've been really pleased with the response and watching the reaction of guests as they get enjoy a couple more powder days before the end of the season," she said.

The Medical Center hosted a diabetes forum tonight for all those interested in learning more about the disease effecting so many.
Doctors and dietitians were on hand to explain the causes and how to manage diabetes, and one dietitian talks about the warning signs.
"Increased thirst, increased urination can also be a warning sign, and again, just not feeling well generally... possibly some weight loss. Those types of things, and perhaps getting dizzy and having blurry vision as well, can be some of the signs," said The Medical Center Community Dietitian Linda Howsen.
Howsen says anyone who suspects they may have diabetes should see and doctor, and they will give you a blood test that can easily determine if you are diabetic, or show pre-diabetic signs. She says treatment is more effective today than ever.

The CWC Bulldogs have had their share of issues on the road this season in the BDC, only defeating Vienna in the road jerseys.
But Tuesday night, things seemed to click for the Bulldogs as they came into Duff-Kingston Gymnasium, and defeating the Eldorado Eagles, 67-64.
The game was tight the whole way, and looked to be a hard battle from the get go.
CWC came out in the first quarter and traded punches with the Eagles, taking a slight advantage after one, 16-13.
The two teams were deadlocked in the second, with both teams scoring 12 and giving CWC a 28-25 lead at the half.
In the third, the Eagles and Bulldogs again took turns, holding a small lead, but quickly relinquishing it to the other. Point wise, the Bulldogs were again better than the Eagles at the end of the third, outscoring Eldorado 26-22 and taking a 54-47 lead into the fourth.
Eldorado came back strong at the start of the fourth, getting the game back within reach. But CWC weathered the storm and hit crucial free throws down the stretch to hold on for the 67-64 win.
Chase Sailer was in the zne in the game, leading the team in scoring with 23 points. Andy Vaughan also played well, dropping 20 points.
Other scorers were Jamey Steed with 10, Dylan Rankin with five, Jordan Large with five and Brodie Brown with four.
CWC had the turnover advantage, with nine to Eldorado's 13.
CWC was 56 percent from the free throw line, hitting 14-25. Eldorado was better from a percentage standpoint, landing 79 percent with 11-14.
The Bulldogs will host Hamilton Co. on Friday and look to avenge another previous BDC loss.
The junior varsity Bulldogs also defeated Eldorado, 56-43.
Scoring for CWC were Joe Matz with 16, Tucker Gray with 16, Large with 10, Brett Short with six. Logan Weller with four, Seth Gross with 2 and Tyler Barbre with 2.
Eldorado 64
Eldorado 13 12 22 17 64
CWCHS – Sailer 23, Vaughan 20, Steed 10, Rankin 5, Large 5, Brown 4.
Eldorado – Deaton 18, Boulds 17, Wiseman 10, Unthank 8, Lawrence 6, Street 3, Mitchell 2.

Scripture: 1Corinthians 10:11 These things happened to them as examples and were written down as warning for us, on whom the culmination of the ages has come.
Observation: These things happened TO THEM…as a warning FOR US. In the previous verses, four examples are given: idolatry, sexual immorality, testing God, and grumbling. Each was punished by God and recorded so that others would learn.
Application: It is good for me to learn from the mistakes of others. Although not the only place, surely one of the best places to learn such lessons is in the Bible. The Bible does not hide the sins and mistakes of leaders. How I limit my understanding of God's ways when I neglect reading His Word!
Prayer: Lord, thank you for the Bible! Thank you for not covering up the faults of the leaders. I do not have to be perfect to be used by You. Amen

Stanley 16oz Travel Mug - 2 Pack for $5.99 + $5.00 shipping
For when you want to drink all day at work. Wait, I said "drink coffee," right?
46 Comments add a comment
We have these and love them! We use them almost everyday and they keep liquids cold for at least the nine hours we use them!
Nice looking mugs, but would be even better if the interior were stainless steel instead of just the cosmetic exterior.
Got 3 of these in the last woot off and I love them. They seal perfectly and the handle is a great feature. They don't fit under my Keurig, but using a normal mug to transfer into it is still worth it. BPA free too
I bought these the last time Woot! sold them. I love them, my coffee stays hotter for longer periods than other travel mugs. Works well with cold drinks as well. They have been dropped many times, glad they were made well. I paid more for them, at this price it's a great deal.
Thats HOT!!
Great! Time for a new one at work anyway.
how are these packed? If I buy 3 units of 2 each, are they all loose or are they suitably packed for gift-giving?
Can Woot staff or a prior purchaser from Woot address the question, please.
These mugs are amazing. I take one to work in my messenger bag every day. Never had a spill/leak, and my coffee is always hot, even several hours after pouring from the pot.
That really isn't too bad, considering I've heard good things about the manufacturer for these travel mugs. Being able to store my coffee for a little over 5 bucks is worth it to me :)
One wooter commented on the amazon page for this item that the "plastic interior holds odors even with multiple washings."
I owe my friend a travel mug after I put hers in the microwave to reheat her coffee. It had a metal interior and I didn't notice it. The entire office smelled like smoke for hours! Probably days. I was too embarrassed to go back. Note to self, this mug is not microwavable!
@smartheart: When I ordered some a while back, they were loose in the same box. Each wrapped in bubble wrap, but not suitable to give away individually. Also, they don't fit in my car's console cupholder and when I tried it bent the hell out of the side of the cup. The stainless steel exterior is really not very robust. Also, the lid is difficult to screw on properly.
I just bought a pair, even with the not so awesome reviews...
These are great travel mugs. I have two (that I bought at $6 ea) and I love them. They seal extremely well, a hot cup of coffee stays hot for ~30 mins and warm for maybe another hour. Not a replacement for a thermos but I love them for being liquid-tight and for being about twice as good as a normal cup for keeping my coffee hot.
Easy to open, comfortable to drink from, easy to clean.
I got these last time. Don't fit in my Chevy's cup holders.
Maybe I should just say "ditto", but: I got these the last time around and I LOVE them. True, they don't fit under the Keurig, but I tilt it (handle down) and lean it up against the machine and it fills fine (YMMV). I hand-wash mine but the wife put hers in the dishwasher once and the lid gasket came off. Put it back on with no problem, but if you DO put it in the DW, put it in the basket section.
Dr. "Hints from Heloise" Hardcrab
@pwknowles: They fit in my Ford cupholders just fine...;-]
Got two in the last woot-off. They work great, as every one says they seal perfectly. My complaint is that the drink-thru lid is annoying. Coffee seems to dribble out rather than pour. Also when almost empty I need to tip at a high angle which then causes coffee to dribble from the top of the lid down my beard. But that might just be my drinking problem.
lagervsale, depending how long you need to keep your coffee hot, if you take off the gasket on the lid you will find they sip a lot easier. Regarding the above comments about using in the DW, yes after repeated washings the gaskets will come off. I have since kept them off because it's easier to drink out of them as I just said. I agree about the screw on lids though; they can be annoying sometimes to screw on.
They sent me one in the barrel of condoms that I finally won last wootoff. The lid is very stiff working, but that may improve with use. These are advertised as 16oz but mine said 18oz on the package/label, are there different models?
Got on Woot a few months ago and hated them. The flow is terribly slow unless the lid is off. They did seal well when completely closed though - no leaks.
Got 3 last time they were on woot. Really worth it. Gave one each to my parents, they use them every day. They seal perfectly and hold the heat decently for about 2 hours. They take a little getting used to though:
The liquid kind of drizzles out while you're drinking and sometimes you'll want to tip up the mug to get it to flow faster. You'll just end up with a face full of coffee. Instead kind of use your upper lip to push the lid up while drinking and you'll hear a little click and be able to drink freely.
Fully recommend these.
@smartheart: Mine came loose in a box full of bubble wrap. Each one had a sticker on it with the brand name so people will know they are new. They don't come individually wrapped.
To everyone above that is having trouble drinking from them; they will still stay hot for close to an hour...just take off the gasket on the lid, problem solved. If it tips over yes it will spill a bit but at a slow flow so not that bad.
I bought 2 last time and couldn't open EITHER of them. The mouth opening didn't twist, the whole top didn't twist. What a waste...
In for one based on the first responses in this thread. And JumboWoot even allowed me to use an expired coupon!
I love love love my mug. I purchased 4 the first time around and have given 2 away to 2 very happy people. I've just purchased 6 more, so I can make 4 more people happy. Yes, I'm keeping spares for myself, I'm paranoid. Is it a little slow to drink? yep. However, when sealed, you can shake the hell out of it and it won't spill a drop and it fits in my Toyota cupholder just fine, thanks :).
They keep things hot for about an hour. As for odors i found that beer and nutritional supplements cause the cup to smell, coffee, tea, water, juice do not. Although all beverages will smell if you leave them inside with the cap tightened for several days.
ARRGG!!! I bought 2 of these the last time they were on here. Only problem is that I am reading every one's reviews and seeing how great it is. I had mine shipped to my house and since I am currently deployed, I had my wife hold on to them and now she is reaping the benefits of my labours, AGAIN! Though she did comment to me that she really liked it :D
I bought 3 of these last time. They are great! My husband is a farmer/rancher and is REALLY hard on stuff. They've held up to the abuse and won't spill a drop! Been waiting for them to come back so I can get some more.
NOT MICROWAVABLE! That's a dealbreaker! Why would anyone make a mug thats too tall and not microwavable? In my opinion, that is two strikes already.
I purcased 3 of these and they were a big dissapointment. They do not hold the heat. They go cold faster than the $2 one we own. Plus one fell apart the first time I washed it. And low and behold! Found the reason they don't hold any heat. The insied container is just plastic mold and there was abolutle NO insulation between it and the outside shell. I guess I got the "Lemons" in the bach?
Sorry.. but these suck worse than the server errors when I try to get a Bundle Of Crud :-|
I bought these last time and thought I could actually drink from them.. i have two expensive business shirts that now have some 'modern art' on them since the opening is too small and the juice, coffee, whatever spilled from the top...
Oh.. and two of them fell apart as well... bah... l4m3...
I bought these last go around and am very pleased that I did. Last go around people were complaining that the lids were hard to put on, after having had these for a few weeks now I must say that any individual that has issues securing the lids on must be missing a few fingers and possibly a thumb and have never owned another travel mug. I honestly can say that putting the lid on is as easy as any other travel mug I have owned.
I love that they will seal completely, keeps the coffee nice and toasty much longer then a normal travel mug, have been tempted to throw some soup in there for lunch and what not but thinking the wife would not be too keen on me doing so. Well made, great price and piping hot coffee for hours, love em!
@smartheart: All six come in one carton, separated but not individually boxed. Just like on the shelf at the store. They each have their own label. I put them in wine bags from the dollar store at Christmas. Great mugs. Buying six more.
@dmaz: Don't forget the shipping when you consider the price -- it's 11 bucks not 6.
n.b. I am not commenting on the cost of this particular item; it's just beyond me when people calculate the cost of catalog/internet orders without adding in the shipping.
bought these a few months ago. Both leaked immediately. Very disappointed in this product, expecially form such a good name.
I bought two of these from Woot a while back. I use one every day and I adore it. Seals very well. However, it's not an aluminum interior so it will require cleaning and may retain colors and smells. I rinsed it with vinegar once and that seemed to do the trick quite nicely.
I bought 4 of these mugs! They seal the liquids well,but hard to open to drink from! They would not fit into any cupholders in my vehicles. I hoped to use them for golfing,but had to force the mug into the cupholder! Sorry Wooties,but not what I hoped for! Also,the rubber seal falls off easily. When you open to drink, it spills on your front.
I bought these last woot. I wouldn't do it again. I thought for sure they would be made in America, nope - they are not!!! They're an alright product, but this price is what they're worth; I don't really see a good deal.
Wouldn't recommend.
My husband and I each have one. He uses his WITH the lid partially screwed on, normally I use mine WITHOUT the lid (unless I'm in the car). The cups fit the cupholders in a Toyota Prius and in a Kia Sedona. Keep our coffee hotter much longer than a normal cup. Both of us love them.
Shipping Update
Stanley 16oz Travel Mug - 2 Pack has completely shipped via FEDEX SMART POST. All tracking has already been emailed out. You can also find your tracking number by following this link and use your ORDER NUMBER as the reference number.
Got my mugs in the mail yesterday and am drinking from one this morning. I like them so far with one minor complaint about the sticky goo holding the label on not coming off at all cleanly.
But I can live with that!
I've been using my mugs for the past few days. I am a little disappointed by them. Our coffee maker makes very hot coffee, fill these cups at 7:30 and by 9:00 I have cold coffee. I don't drink my coffee very fast and usually don't get settled in a start drinking it until 8:30 or so. I've had some very good Thermous mugs that stay hot until 11:00 and was hoping these were good enough until 10:00.
Second, the lids are a little funny. They work OK if you take your time putting them on, but if you are not quite level they won't close all the way. The rubber gasket might be causing it to not screw in right, as it does shift easily.
For the price, I can find cheap mugs at any local home store for similar or just a little more.
Don't buy these if you like hot coffee.
these things are COMPLETE JUNK, don't buy them PERIOD!
they are very awkward to drink out of, especially the bottom third of your beverage. and if you dumb enough to remove the lid, your drink splashes when you lower the cup. Ive used many travel mugs, and the way THIS lid is designed is completely useless (they might keep your beverage hot or cold for a long time -which is what folks seem to rave about above), but unless you want to pour the beverage into another cup to actually drink it, then these things SUCK.

What are your favorite vegetarian and non-vegetarian slow cooker recipes?
Veggie only great.
Meat? :) (Bacon?)
4 Answers answer
1 Cup of steel-cut oats
1 Cup of raisins
4 Cups of water
1/2 Cup of half-and-half
2 Tbsp maple syrup
Mix it all up in the crock-pot and set it on low right before you go to bed and wake up to a delicious breakfast.
You can try other fruit options as well as spices like cinnamon or nutmeg, too.
Large with all the toppings
I made a lentil soup with smoked ham hocks a couple weeks ago that was pretty smashing good.
3 smoked ham hocks
1 bag o lentils (think it was a pound)
2 carrots diced
1 onion diced
2 celery diced
3 cloves garlic
can of diced tomatoes
2-3 bay leafs
pinch or two of dried thyme
4-5 can of veggie broth
Saute up the veggies with a little salt n pepper, go easy on the salt as the ham hocks will add plenty of salt. Wash the lentils, pick out any bad ones or rocks. Everybody in the pot for 7-8 hours on low. Pull out the hocks and pick em apart. Add the meat back. It's ready to serve.
Boneless chicken breast
One large can of Las Palmas Green Enchilda Sauce
1 Cup uncooked white rice
Set on low, cook for 6-7 hours.

Unanswered: iOS click sound on every button tap
In our application we use PhoneGap to interact with the device. We've implemented a custom plugin in PhoneGap to play the default tick sound (fastest way to play sounds possible).
As for the Sencha part, we've overriden the onTap function of Ext.Button to send a signal to PhoneGap to play the tick sound.
Override buttons to play the default sound
// Adds a sound to button tap Ext.define('Enhancements.Button', { override: 'Ext.Button', onTap: function(e) { if (this.getDisabled()) { return false; } common.playAlertSound(); this.fireAction('tap', [this, e], 'doTap'); } });
- (void) playAlertSound:(NSMutableArray *)arguments withDict:(NSMutableDictionary *)options { AudioServicesPlayAlertSound(0x450); }
Two questions:
- Is this the proper way to add the common.playAlertSound invoke to all buttons?
- In some situations we have quite a lot of logic going on after you tap on a button. This causes load to the browser and therefore delaying the tick sound. How could I solve this? Perhaps delay the actual action that is called on button tap?

There really isn't a way you can get the audio to always sync up. The best you can do I guess is delay the button tap logic but that may seem sluggish to the user.Mitchell Simoens @LikelyMitch

Track and Field Wraps up Regular Season at Chanticleer ClassicApril 12, 2014
CONWAY, S.C. – Paced by three first-place finishes on the women's side, the Anderson University men's and women's track and field teams wrapped up the regular season at the Chanticleer Classic, hosted by Coastal Carolina Saturday at the CCU Track and Field Facility.
A quartet of Trojan freshmen captured the top four spots in the women's 3000 meter run, with Olivia Gardner bringing home first place in a time of 11:24.29, while Grace Gerlock (11:44.27), Amber Worthy (12:13.50) and Mia Swiersz (12:20.81) claimed second, third and fourth, respectively.

Brennan: Woodland force to reckon with
In a year that's been more offensive than perhaps any other in the history of the Naugatuck Valley League, it was fitting that two of its most glamorous passing records went down in one of the most crucial games of the season.
Woodland quarterback Tanner Kingsley shattered NVL records for passing yardage and passing touchdowns in the Hawks' 56-30 win over Naugatuck on Friday night in the borough. His 502 yards smashed Rohan Ifill's record (457 for Sacred Heart in 2009), while his eight touchdowns easily beat the old record of six (Ansonia's Luke Richmond in 1995 and Crosby's David Gondek in 2008).
Kingsley's eight scores are second-most in state history (to Jason Manson's nine with Bloomfield in 2000) while his 502 yards are seventh-most (Kurt Horton's 599 with New Canaan in 1970 leads the pack).
Naugatuck's defense had no answers. The Greyhounds (4-3, 3-2 Copper) forced just one punt and no turnovers all night even though coach Shawn Kuczenski said he used just about every defense in his playbook. If I had to pick one reason for the Hawks' (5-1, 5-0) unprecedented passing success, though, it was the time Kingsley had to throw.
The Woodland junior didn't have a speck of dirt on him when he shook hands after the team's huge NVL Copper Division win at Veterans Field. His offensive line was excellent, denying a sack to the Naugy defensive front that entered the game with 15 sacks in six games.
The 'Hounds did not send as much pressure as they usually do, opting instead to drop seven and eight defenders into coverage. But without any blitz on Kingsley, and with the supremely talented and fast wide receives wearing gold helmets, it was only a matter of time before another chunk of yardage went toward one of the Hawks' nine touchdowns.
I have seen Woodland's offense in action four times this year. In the Hawks' only loss (to Ansonia, a game in which Woodland's varsity offense did not score), Kingsley did not have all day to throw. In fact, he usually only had a second or two against the Chargers' blitz. Kingsley's only interception came in the season opener against Sacred Heart, and it came when the Hearts forced him to throw with pressure coming right at him.
Woodland's win begs the question of whether or not the Hawks can be serious contenders A) to Ansonia in a potential NVL championship game in three weeks and B) in the Class S playoff picture. For the former to happen, Woodland needs to beat Holy Cross in Week 8 (much more on that coming throughout the week) and then come up with a better game plan on both sides of the ball (and hope they get healthy fast). For the latter, the Hawks may very well have to win out, which would include a win over Wolcott in Week 9.
We can tackle each of those challenges when they get closer, but for any of them to happen Woodland's defense will need to be better than it was against Naugatuck. The Hawks were without Levi Fancher, who may be their best linebacker, which didn't help at all in stopping the run and short passing game (he may return from an illness against the Crusaders).
But Woodland also had a lot of shoddy tackling, something that will lead to a pair of losses in the next two weeks instead of the necessary two wins.
If the Hawks can't D it up consistently, Kingsley better ice his left arm. It has a lot of work left to do.

How many gifts are you giving this year?
I think I got carried away this year. I counted 62 gifts under my tree last night for about 50 people. 18 of them were small gift bags with a card, pair of pearl earrings, a star shaped glass candle holder with a tea light and a Lindt truffle, minor gifts for the ladies at the office. But about half of them are real gifts for people I care about. No wonder I am so broke at the start of the year! At least I think I am done, save for one "Italian feast" gift basket I have yet to assemble.
21 Answers answer
Easily 50 or so. Same as you. Gifts for the kids, extended family that we exchange with, close friends, etc. Now I need to start wrapping them!
Only close family - spouse, siblings, parents, grandparents. Around 12 people.
About 15 if I remember correctly. Going to wrap them tonight or tomorrow night.
Yikes. I am giving 6. Apparently I am a grinch.
I purchased for about 14 people with 6 of them being small co-worker gifts. Every person I bought for is getting something I found on Woot! over the past year or a deal on deals.woot.
All of them!
Do gifts for dogs count? If so, I think I have 22 gifts I need to wrap. Huh, guess I should get on that.
After just a quick adding in my head, my wife and I have wrapped about 40 presents so far (me: 2, my wife: 38), we've got more being delivered today that we(she) will need to wrap and another item this weekend. Overall it will end up being around 50 gifts (not including the 12 days of Christmas she decided to do for me this year).
@tippypaws: I am totally not wrapping The Intern's present. She can survive not having the extra ball of paper around here to swat around.
I've put my foot down!
(The rest of the answer is "less than a half dozen people".)
Four people (mother, brother, one cousin, best friend) get gifts from me, one package each. I get boxes big enough to contain all of each person's presents so that I don't have to wrap multiple gifts per person. No others get any gift-gifts, though some few get a bottle of champagne or something. I don't know enough/am not close to many people for gift exchanging. That lets me go all out nuts on the few for whom I do get gifts, though.
35ish. Both of our families are not small. That's just kids, our parents, and a box/tin of cookies for each household.
I think my final count was 29 gifts for people. Add in pets and it's 34 gifts.
I'm giving 6 gifts this year. Also, my husband & I put together 10 packages of cookies & other goodies in gift bags for the girls at the bank, our auto mechanic, and other various business contacts.
I think we are up to 70+ gifts! 5 god-children, sibling family exchange (on the wife's side), 4 parents, my brother, the wife's sister, child-care provider, daughter (too many), wife, a friends daughter, the bosses (2), admin professionals (2), a few coworker (gift exchange), and toys-for-tots. Ugh when I type this out it seems like soooo many.
Oh, yeah, when I counted the ones under the tree I forgot about the five kids I took gifts to from the giving tree and the five gifts I donated to the Sheriff Department's drive for needy kids, so that puts me at 72 so far this year. And I am counting the two gift bags under the tree for my dog and one for my cat.
about 15.
10 of my good friends will be getting framed pictures from my recent trip to the Galapagos.
My brother, sister, mom, and dad will be getting a bottle of wine each. (actually my brother will get 2)
For a family present, I made a 40 page photobook of the whole vacation.
For myself, a bottle of F-Bomb from wine.woot and a new watch using my Amazon credits from opening a new card with them. The watch was 10 bucks after the credit... the wine is about 10 bucks as well, since a pack of 6 assorted wines was 70.
@inkycatz: my dogs get depressed if they don't have anything to open. I forgot one year and they both laid down under the tree with the most pathetic expressions on their faces. I had to go get their old toys, wrap them up and open them with the dogs before they were happy again. I know, I'm a sucker but they looked so sad!
I'm currently looking at 36 under our tree, but there are a few days left.....
around 30 :3
20ish, I believe, all family...
Me, myself- 2. Me, 1/2 of a couple- around 30. I detest shopping, she makes up for it plus. Bless her heart.

Pronounced: a-mi-FOS-teen
Classification: chemoprotectant/radioprotectant
About Amifostine (Ethyol®)
Amifostine is a type of drug called a chemoprotectant, cytoprotectant, or radioprotectant, which is used to prevent or lessen the damage to the kidneys caused by cisplatin (a chemotherapy) or damage to the salivary glands, resulting in dry mouth, caused by radiation therapy. Amifostine works by promoting the repair of damaged tissue and binding to harmful free radicals released by cells after exposure to cisplatin.
How to Take Amifostine
Amifostine is given by intravenous (into a vein) infusion, over the course of a few minutes. The treatment is given 15-30 minutes before radiation or chemotherapy starts. Patients are given the infusion while lying down and their blood pressure is monitored. Patients may be asked to increase their fluid intake for 24 hours before the infusion. The actual dose a patient receives is based on his/her height and weight.
Possible Side Effects
There are a number of things you can do to manage the side effects of Amifostine. Talk to your doctor or nurse about these recommendations. They can help you decide what will work best for you. These are some of the most common side effects:
This medication can cause a drop in your blood pressure (hypotension). Your blood pressure will be monitored by your healthcare team before and during treatment with this medication.
Cutaneous Reactions
This medication may cause cutaneous (skin) reactions including erythema multiforme, Stevens-Johnson syndrome, toxic epidermal necrolysis, toxoderma and exfoliative dermatitis. Report any skin changes, especially any rash involving the lips or mouth and lesions on the palms of hands, soles of the feet, or the front/back of abdomen to your healthcare team immediately.
Nausea and/or Vomiting
Talk to your doctor or nurse so they can prescribe medications to help you manage nausea and vomiting. In addition, dietary changes may help. Avoid things that may worsen the symptoms, such as heavy or greasy/fatty, spicy or acidic foods (lemons, tomatoes, oranges). Try antacids, (e.g. milk of magnesia, calcium tablets such as Tums), saltines, or ginger ale to lessen symptoms.
Call your doctor or nurse if you are unable to keep fluids down for more than 12 hours or if you feel lightheaded or dizzy at any time.
Hypocalcemia (low blood calcium)
Amifostine can cause the level of calcium in your blood to decrease. Symptoms of low blood calcium include muscle spasms and/or twitching, a numbness or tingling of fingers, toes or around the mouth. If this occurs, your healthcare team may ask you to take calcium supplements (like Tums) to correct this problem.
Reproductive Concerns
Amifostine should be used during pregnancy only if the potential benefit justifies the potential risk to the fetus. Exposure of an unborn child to this medication could cause birth defects. It is also recommended that breast feeding be discontinued during treatment with this medication.

That was what I thought when they released The Matrix Reloaded, and later in The Matrix Revolutions, when Neo exhibits super-natural powers in the "real" world. Giving the posibility that the "real" world could be just another simulated reality.
No, a pretty much official explanation exists. And the question is not really "open". As I've stated in this answer, it's explained by the fact that when Neo comes into contact with the Source (i.e. when he meets the Architect), his brain becomes a wireless connection.
After all, the real time in the Matrix franchise is set in a tech-wise advanced future, so why shouldn't a much more powerful wireless connection exist? I think the term wireless here is used to explain the concept of the "without wires" kind of technology, and not necessarily the actual wireless connection we all currently know.
The fact that Neo can, for example, affect the Sentinels with viruses wirelessly is not that absurd in a Sci-fi franchise like the Matrix.
I think the answer is that it was suggested a supermatrix, because it's more likely within the matrix's universe, considering the machine's cold logic, but the idea was possible abandoned.
Why a super-matrix?
The machines where able to defeat Neo and Agent Smith, and his viral propagation, at the same time, and took Zion after the battle.
If the machines' ultimate goal was to end the conspiracy. Why they didn't exterminate every free human being. If the reason was that machines were "man" of his word, I pass thanks.
But, if there were a super-matrix, they could allow the free humans to continue living, just because they were more useful conected to the super-matrix.
Was the super-matrix idea abandoned?
After so many years, I think so. Maybe they couldn't explain in a credible way how the free humans would know when they definitely defeated the machines... if there could be a super-matrix, why not many nested matrix layers each with a diferent simulated reality even more "real" that the previous one.
It could.
The idea of a "dream within a dream" was probably popularized by the Edgar Allan Poe poem, published in 1849, and so the idea has had time to pervade the public meme space.

#SummifyTip: Modifying Summary Sources and Saying "Thanks"
Every story that arrives in your summary comes from your social networks, shared by a human much like yourself. Summify assumes that popular stories being shared by those you follow, are likely to be of interest to you, but that's not always the case. Just like humans, algorithms aren't perfect. The solution: tweak your sources and spread content you love.
Filter out contributors you don't enjoy
There are two options here. We recommend trying the first, before making any permanent changes to who you follow on Twitter.
1) Filter domains or human contributors from appearing in future summaries. No change is permanent. Any filters you create will be added to the Filters section of your settings, which can be undone at anytime. Filters are completely private and nobody will ever know if you've filtered them out from your summaries.
2) Radically clean your Twitter follow list using iunfollow or more selectively with socialbro. This is a tip from @boichot. Check out our recent Summify Spotlight with him for more tips and tools that will improve your Twitter work-flow.
Like a story? Let contributors know. Nothing says "thank-you" better than sharing.
1) Share, Retweet, and Like stories – sharing content that you really like with the world is the best way to show the original author or person who shared it that it's valued. This will likely lead them to share similar types of content that you will also enjoy. Social signals such as the number of shares, likes, and retweets are a major part of how Summify populates your summaries, so spread the love and share what you like, so that other's can enjoy it too!
2) Automatically share your summaries to Twitter and Facebook – this is an easy way to share your summaries with your followers each day. To try it out, go to your Sharing settings and select which network you'd like to share to under "Promote." There are also options for customizing your auto-share message and excluding mentions for contributors.
Note: You can also automatically post your summaries to a Facebook Page, LinkedIn, Instapaper, Read it Later, or Readability using ifttt – a fantastic third party service!
3) After reading your summary, line-up your favorite stories to be shared throughout the day with Buffer. Check out this popular post on how to pair Buffer with Summify – it will change your 2012 social media life – How To Be Awesome On Social Media In 20 Minutes A Day.
Along with the tips above, there's one more simple thing that will help you improve your summaries.
Summify is designed to handle massive amounts of incoming content and your summaries will tend to get better as you connect more accounts. Haven't done so already? Give it a try and experience the difference.
Note: you can connect more than one account for each of Twitter, Facebook and Google Reader.
Are you using any of the above methods to enhance your summaries? Maybe you have a tip or two of your own. Share what's working for you in the comments below.
