Unanswered: Add markers to Ext.Map
Hi, I've a NestedList of locations divided by category.
At the last level I want to show in a map the points of locations in that level.
I've a tab panel in which I've two tabs: the first contain an Ext.NestedList, the second contains an Ext.Map.
I've already implemented the function that controls in which level I am; in that level I've already implemented a function to calcolate the user distance from the current location to the location for each element in that level of NestedList.
Next I try to add a point to the Map for that location in this way:
var myLatlng = new google.maps.LatLng(lat, lon); var marker = new google.maps.Marker({ position: myLatlng, map: Ext.getCmp('mypoi').map });
Console doesn't show any errors but the marker isn't added to the map.
Where's the mistake?

I'm trying to re-install Clockwork recovery mod (tl;dr: Android 2.3.1+ will reinstall stock recovery on every boot if it's not present).
I had installed it successfully yesterday, but today it does not go beyond
C:\android>tools\fastboot.exe flash recovery NexusS\kernel\recovery-clockwork-184.108.40.206-crespo.img
< waiting for device >
The only difference would be that today the battery level is low ( currently at 20% and charging).
So does fastboot require the battery to be over a set level ?

How are you going to do that in a buffered store?
A buffered store MUST only be asked to load pages into its cache. Not individual records.
If you know the page number into which a record which resides only on the server, and has NOT yet been pulled into the cache maps, then you can explicitly request that page.
But If a record is not in the page map, you cannot find it.Search the forum: http://www.google.com/coop/cse?cx=01...%3Az7of1ufqccu

That works. Thanks Animal and dongryphon.

Also, I see there is bufferedRenderer now. Do you think if I have a large number of records (tens of thousands), should I stay with buffered store or bufferedRenderer should be able to handle it? Thanks.
28 Mar 2013 1:59 AM #15
Hey, just wanted to say I was having a similar issue when upgrading to 4.2. Just wanted to give my use case to show there is a valid reason for wanting this kind of functionality for buffered stores.
In my app I have a buffered grid and a map with markers. The map and grid pull data from the same database table, but are sorted differently (the map shows objects within its current bounds, and the map show objects sorted by date) and as such have separate stores. The idea is that clicking an marker on the map would highlight the associated row in the grid.
To accomplish this, I first checked if the store for the grid contained the object from the map via store.find('id', myObject.id). If this returned -1 (the object isn't in the grid's store) then I would send the object id to my backend and ask it to tell me what page of data the object would be on. It would respond with a page number, and then I would simply go store.loadPage(response.pagenum); and when the page was loaded, ask it to highlight the row.

6 Animals That Kill Nature's Scariest Creatures For Fun
#3. The Whale That Stalks Great White Sharks
The Terror:
Let's say you got to choose which animal you'd be reincarnated as this time. You want the one creature who absolutely is not going to get eaten. So, of course, you pick the earth's most perfect hunting and eating machine: the freakin' great white shark.
Even your skin is made of teeth.
You are now 20 feet and 5,000 pounds of pure, distilled murder, immune to any harm as long as you remember to avoid ragtag trios from nearby coastal towns on shabby fishing boats named Orca.
Via Wikipedia
Orca. That's, like, Free Willy, right? What a funny name for a shark-hunting boat. Wondering why someone would decide to name their ship after some damn Disney whale, you're lost in thought ... when, suddenly, you notice a huge cavern of a mouth opening up riiight next to you.
Oh, shi-
Eaten By:
Via Wikipedia
What the great white sharks represent to mankind, Orcinus orca, better known as the super-shiny killer whale, is to great white sharks a hundredfold.
It's not necessarily true that killer whales hunt great whites for food -- scientists actually aren't sure what the relationship is between the two species. What we know is that the whales are smart enough to have figured out that sharks need to move in order to breathe, so they hold the sharks upside down until they are immobilized, slowly suffocating, until they're dead. After that, we truly enter serial killer territory.
Watch at your own peril:
Yes, that was a killer whale eating the shark's liver, Hannibal Lecter-style. Interestingly, this particular case of organ theft was not even an isolated incident. In another instance, a great white approached two orcas while they were eating a seal. Not only did he end up having the shit kicked out of him, but also one of the orcas took the shark to the surface and, no shit, held the shark there while the other disemboweled it, feasting on its liver.
These killer whales were not even hunting for shark liver. This was simply a case of a great white being at the wrong place at the wrong time ... unless, of course, the whales were just using the dead seal as bait.
"Don't mind me. I am just a regular, not-shark-eating whale."
Whatever the truth may be, such attacks do happen, and they have one hell of an effect on the local shark community. In two wholly separate instances off California, more than three years apart, documented cases of great whites being found liverless resulted in "the entire great white population -- up to 100 individuals" escaping the orca threat in almost human-like panic within days.
In one case, a shark that the researchers were tracing had not only skipped town, but swam 2,280 miles to Hawaii. To put that in context, there is virtually no spot in the United States that is 2,280 miles away from the nearest coastline, which in shark terms would make Kansas too close to killer whales for their comfort.
#2. The Cat That Eats Crocodiles
The Terror:
This time, you find yourself in the skin of a caiman, the Amazon equivalent of a crocodile and every bit as badass a predator as you'd expect from a modern day dinosaur. You lay on your favorite part of the river bank, lazily eyeing the waterline for something to deathroll and consume, when you notice a suitably out-of-place-looking large cat.
Which makes you immediately burst into song!
Had you been paying attention to previous entries, you'd probably know better than to attack -- but since you're a caiman, your reading comprehension leaves something to be desired. So you lunge.
You can probably guess by now how that goes for you.
Eaten By:
The jaguar. The largest big cat in the Western Hemisphere and the third largest in the world. It has the strongest jaws of all cats; strong enough to crack open a turtle shell.
But while it could maybe take on a caiman on land, surely it gets its ass handed to it if the caiman gets in water? It's a freaking cat.
Nope! Jaguars can and totally do attack caimans in the latter's own element. Like this particular cat, who not only challenges its foe in 2-foot-deep water, but also wins by drowning the goddamn caiman. We didn't know that was even possible!
"Hey, what the hell are you d- blblblblblbbl!"
But why would a big cat attack a caiman, when there's plenty of easier prey around? Well, according to the Cold War-era narrator on that clip, it's because "he doesn't care about danger." While we are in no position to disagree with this assessment, it is worth noting that there's a sexy lady-jaguar watching the fight from the sidelines the whole time.
Now, consider that what looks an awful lot like the same cat took down an anaconda earlier in the same day, and make of that what you will.
OK, now he's just showing off.
#1. The Badger-Eating Bird
The Terror:
So you're a honey badger -- a notoriously dirty and fearsome fighter that holds a Guinness World Record for its badassitude. An animal that, as we have pointed out before, could fill the Louvre with all the fucks it doesn't give.
Via Wikimedia Commons
"I'll eat your goddamn camera and shit out a picture of your last moments."
Having lived through these scenarios quite a few times, you know something is probably out to get you and technically you should get worried 'round about now. But you won't, because this time you're the goddamn honey badger. Let trouble come -- you'll just maul its balls to death like everything else, from cobras to leopards to pretty much everything on this list. Bring it, nature -- you are ready.
And then, as if on cue, a shadow falls over you.
Eaten By:
"I practice on helicopters."
If you were to host a convention of the most terrifying animals on earth, there is one creature that could transform the whole party into an enormous group therapy session just by showing its shadow. Namely, Aquila chrysaetos -- better known as the golden eagle -- whose name translates into "death" across the growls, roars and hisses of so many animal languages.
Via Dave Bonta
Mother Nature's own Grim Reaper.
A golden eagle can detect movement from 10,000 feet in the air, and odds are it can also swoop in and kill it. If it's feeling particularly dickish, it just flat out walks up to an animal protecting its cubs or stash and grabs them from under it. The bird has no natural predators and, thanks to its flight, muscle and an arsenal of sharp appendages that would make a combine harvester blush, it tends to find itself at the top of whatever food chain it occupies. Even if said food chain includes this:
"Hold up, kids. Fuckin' eagles over there."
That's right, the golden eagles flat out ignore the rules of one of the most important games on the planet: don't mess with the bear. They can send full-grown grizzlies off in full sprint, presumably into the woods so that they could shit themselves in peace.
But you're still a badger, right? You can send grizzlies running, too! What could that pathetic sack of feathers do to you? Quite a lot, as it turns out. Behold, Mother Nature's equivalent of Ali-Foreman:
While the match starts out in a suitably unstoppable force meets an immovable object manner, the badger is quickly shown its true place in the animal kingdom: In a small puddle of terror-piss, hiding under a carcass that was supposed to be its meal -- while the golden eagle calmly begins its first feast as the true Badass King of the animal kingdom.

I know you are all holding your breath, waiting for me to exclaim, "Yes! Only one more year of this torture and poof, life gets incredibly sane again! You get your body back, only skinnier! You get ample sleep and sex! You become a wonder parent, never relying on TV as a babysitter. Your memory becomes a steel trap, your values an unwavering beacon by which your child navigates all of life!"
Painfully, I have to inform you that, according to a cadre of parents with grade school- and middle school-aged rugrats, the pace does not slacken. Nor is there a reprieve from a social life made up almost exclusively of children's Saturday afternoon birthday parties.
The Wonder Years of Three and Older
However, here are the gains you can expect. At the three-year mark, a child's immunity typically strengthens and there's a reduction in the mucus torrents, ear infections, and resulting sick days. And for those of you who fear that potty training will extend into college, diapers do eventually disappear.
A toddler or preschooler is increasingly able to tell you what she wants and needs, which makes parenting requirements more straightforward. It's also a big coup the first Saturday morning your previously needy morning owl is satisfied with a bowl of cereal and watching cartoons unaccompanied.
By year three, many moms and dads grow accustomed to functioning on less sleep. Moms regain some libido, short-term memory, and mental clarity while reaping added benefits in efficiency, confidence, and creativity. And as you see your little rascals grow, make friends, learn to read, pick right from wrong, make cereal necklaces, and paint flowerpots for you, parenting becomes a richer experience. Your child begins to convey to you and to others the lessons and love you've imparted, his character traits emerging with your imprint.
From Kindergarten On
At the kindergarten milestone, you can raise a glass to the reduced costs of child care, if indeed you've selected a public school. An older child can also go places and take part in activities that are remotely interesting to adults, graduating from the interminable Candy Land to competitive checkers, from eating and throwing sand at the beach to chasing waves and squirting you with a Super Soaker.
As highly touted as Baby's first words or steps, the "firsts" that come in later years are astonishingly meaningful and fun. It's incredible the first time Scotty serves as the accolade at church, the first time Brittany accepts a trophy from her tee ball coach, and the first time Gus reads a book to you. I'll personally never forget how enthralled Patrick was, telling me the story of Harriet Tubman and the underground railroad, or how he sang "Food, Glorious Food" for days after seeing his first live musical, Oliver.
Start Over with Another Baby?
'Bout the time you start to adjust, or earlier in the pressure-cooker time frame enjoyed by parents of "advanced age" as obstetricians term those of us over thirty-five the baby urge can get rather insistent.
There are definite advantages to having a second child. The sheer demand for extra arms can force fathers to step forward and share more of the house and parenting work. You'll be more confident with subsequent imps, too, which makes the whole baby stage much more enjoyable. And siblings sometimes do keep each other occupied, although they can also bicker and fight, scream and bite so much you become their full-time referee.
Duke and I decided to have a second child in the most tentative of ways. We knew that our leaky boat could easily give way, acknowledged that parenting baby Patrick had taken us within an inch of our lives, but believed we had enough dogpaddling in us to give our son the significant gift of a sibling. Surprisingly, at least up until his rebellious years, Liam brought healing to our household. I escaped a second stint of postpartum hardships and Liam greeted Duke as if he was only a bosom away from being God's gift to babyhood.
Wrestling over the Number of Kids
Several moms I know have set numbers of children they always dreamed of having numbers that realism has made them relinquish or that they are chugging towards determinedly, without regard for financial or emotional cost. A good friend of mine is abiding by a superstition that she has to have multiple children to compensate for some disappointing her later on. When she complains about her husband's lack of can-do helpfulness, it sounds to me as if she's decided to have children with her nanny, the more faithful partner.
A mother of an eight-year-old offers her wisdom, "I'm a very good mother of one. I enjoy my daughter immensely and spend a lot of time with her. I simply ignore all the talk about 'Who will she have when her father and I are dead and buried?' Because I'm not so sure I'd be as good of a mother to two or more."
A thirty-nine-year-old in my mompool is wrestling with the decision, nine months into life with her very amenable first child. "I can't afford to wait much longer. Listening to those of you who have more than one, I'm apt to think I ought to quit while I'm ahead. Maybe my baby urge will just go quiet."
"Or maybe it won't," says another mom, this one the proud owner of not one but three easy babies. "Nobody else has the right answer for you. You have to weigh the decision you'll ultimately be happy with. Because I've been out with my three children and had people say to me, 'Think you have enough kids already?' Whatever you do, somebody will have an opinion about it."
My friends and I disagree with Dr. Laura about most topics these days even though we guiltily enjoy tuning her in. But as our wise selves and our kids' moms, we do think she's right that when Dad says "no dice," the matter of more children has to be dismissed. Many of us with less than fully contributing partners now appreciate how much a family is handicapped by this. We know now that even the most loving of mothers cannot make up for a reluctant or worse yet, an antagonistic partner.

When attempting to submit a sample of a detected item the on-access scanner will prevent it from being sent. Errors such as 'access denied' or 'the file contains no data' may be seen when attempting to a submit a sample.
This article explains the process for submitting samples detected, and hence blocked, by the on-access (real-time) scanner.
Check the malware description in the Sophos Threat Center. If the malware type is a 'W32 executable file virus' or the recovery instructions point to instructions for disinfecting pe viruses follow these instructions to disinfect the file.
Applies to the following Sophos product(s) and version(s) Sophos Anti-Virus for Mac OS XSophos Anti-Virus for Windows 2000+Sophos Anti-Virus for Linux
The reason for obtaining the sample must be identified from one of the following scenarios:
The sample should be sent to the Sophos Labs for analysis where they will be able to confirm or deny the detection. Be careful when submitting samples of detected malware, taking advice from the Sophos Threat Center first.
Use the steps below to obtain the sample for Windows, Mac, or Linux operating systems.
It is unlikely that a sample of this file is required. Use the Sophos Source of Infection tool to see what is dropping the file. This can be used to monitor a location for dropped files from local processes or remote computers.
The SmaRT guide is a great way to get help and understand what to do when dealing with malware - whether an administrator or an end-user.
If an error message is displayed when running cleanup, use the steps below to obtain the sample for Windows, Mac, or Linux operating systems.
The safest way to collect a file that requires investigation is to use the Sophos Anti-Virus scanner to move and rename it. Using this method, a safer exclusion can be added which allows submission via the Sophos website.
C:\ProgramData\Sophos\Sophos Anti-Virus\INFECTED
C:\Documents and settings\All Users\Application Data\Sophos\Sophos Anti-Virus\INFECTED
sweep [filename] -rename
cd ~/Downloads
Note: The on-access scanner will intercept the file you are attempting to upload via the Sophos website, a temporary on-exclusion exclusion will be required.
These instructions assume that the Sophos Anti-Virus web interface has been installed and that the computer is using a desktop environment.
savscan [path to file] [path to another file] -rename
Note: The on-access scanner will intercept the file you are attempting to upload via the Sophos website, a temporary on-exclusion exclusion will be required.
The web submission channel uses HTTPS and encryption and therefore complies with regulations for secure data exchange.
If your submission was successfully received, you will initially get an auto-response reply with a unique case reference in the subject line. If SophosLabs have all of the information required (i.e., they fully understand the problem) they will review the request (e.g., to add/remove detection, or enhance cleanup) and the file sample(s). Note: If you need to add more information or ask for an update, you can use the same web form as used previously, however ensure you include the case reference from the original auto-response email in all interaction on the same issue.

Some of these .jar Files are completly written by ourselfs while others are contributed from open-source-projects. These jar. Files are just used via import-instructions in several Java Agents, XPages and classes created in the Java-Views in Domino Designer in "WebContent". We use these packages in various design-elements and have about 100 domino servers that have to get these files and patches, thats why we don't want to lay them into the local file-system in each of them.
This is what i have done so far to get the jar. Files to my domino server:
I have imported these jar. Files in my Eclipse 4.2 client into a new "Plugin Project from existing Jar" and configured the import and export packages. (I even tried making Bnd-Projects from these jar.Files to have proper OSGI-ready Manifest-files which sadly didn't do it better) After that i created a feature project which contains the plugins. At Last i imported that feature to a new Update-Site project in my Eclipse and build it.
I picked this site.xml in a database i created from the Template "StdEclipseUpdateSite" (Version 8.5.3 (04.03.2011). This database is referenced in the Notes.ini via "OSGI_HTTP_DYNAMIC_BUNDLES" param on my 8.5.3 Domino server x64 running locally on my windows 7 x64 for testing purposes.
I have worked on this problem for several days now, read about osgi and googl'ed a lot about similiar problems but i was not able to get this done myself. Any help is very appreciated.

I want to upload a foto from my android app to a facebook fan page using the facebook API.
When i look in the hackbook android example app (link). the code looks as following to a upload photo:
Bundle params = new params.putString("url",
"http://www.facebook.com/images/devsite/iphone_connect_btn.jpg"); params.putString("caption",
"FbAPIs Sample App photo upload");
Utility.mAsyncRunner.request("me/photos", params,
"POST", new PhotoUploadListener(), null);
This code works, it posts the photo on my own facebook page. But i don't want the photo to be posted on my page but on a fan page.
As explained in the facebook documentation 'me' could be changed with a facebook User_ID. I tried changing the "me/photo" in "[fanpagename]/photo" or "[fanpageID]/photo", but that did not work. when i used the username i got an error, when i used the ID it post the photo on my own page. In the graphAPI photo documentation (link) no example or explanation is givin on how to upload a foto on fan page.
also the
params.putString("to", [fbid]);
does not work.
Any suggestions?

given a triple of spaces $(X,A,U)$, that is excisive with respect to some homology theory $H$, is the triple $(SX,SA,SU)$ again excisive?
Here SY means unreduced suspension of Y, and there's an obvious identfication in making $(SX,SA,SU)$ a triple. By being excisive I mean that the inclusion gives an isomorphism $H(X-U,A-U) \rightarrow H(X,A)$. The axioms guarantee this if the closure of $U$ is contained in the interior of $A$, but this property is certainly lost at the poles upon passage to suspensions.
The case of interest to me is homotopy groups (with appropriate connectivity assumptions and basepoints) under this assumption on $U$ and $A$. Here I have a second, somewhat related, question:
In tom Dieck-Kamps-Puppe's Homotopietheorie the statement of the homotopy excision theorem assumes $U$ to be closed and $A$ to be open, and I'm wondering whether the theorem also holds under the above slightly weaker condition.
Thanks in advance.

Is it possible to burn a DVD (or usb bootable drive) out of the Mountain Lion app store install?
Yes it's possible, you can find a couple of useful guides for the steps required. Here is one from Macworld.
The main points are to do it before installing Mountain Lion as the installer will delete the install files, and use the disk image in the application package as the source for your USB key or DVD.
The USB key will generally give you better performance if you need to reinstall OS X later.
As has been said, it IS possible. Easiest way to do it is with this tool:
Took me all of about five minutes to get it taken care of with a run-of-the-mill 8GB flash drive.
As tRehak pointed out, though: Don't install Mountain Lion until you've made the drive/burned the DVD. Otherwise, you'll have to re-download the installer all over again.


text: Dex, you were correct in your guesses. As the investigator I could either find a gate or find an acolyte that made an attack. However, if I was to find a gate, then my first post of that day phase had to be no more than 10 words and each following post would have to be -1 word. That was a real pain in the ass. Also, I'm sad I got noobspoon killed. Literally, my only clue was that the attacker was "new around these parts." Later, Nihil said that the reason that that was my only clue (I was supposed to be allowed 3) was because the attacker hasn't posted much. Noob fit the description. However, Fraser had posted even less that I completely missed him. On top of that, I didn't realize that I could only find physical attackers and not mental attackers. Had I realized that, I would have called off the lynching of noob once Nihil told me that we killed the person (Fraser) who had attacked me/Marco the night before.

ok so i know the liberal montra is never let the facts get in the way of a false argument but... half of the non-self defense shooting are suicides. if you take that out it is a lot less compelling study, but as always dont let that get in the way of banning guns.Hide replies
That still leaves 11 accidental or criminal shootings for every 1 case of justified shooting. Still pretty compelling to most reasonable people.
So what if they are suicides? Why do those get discounted?
Suicide is often an impulsive act, which guns make easy. They're also more effective than other available (and unavailable) methods.
Statistics show that the likelihood of suicide is considerably higher than in households with guns, so the argument that "if a gun wasn't available, they'd just use poison hemlock... or a samurai sword... or a melon baller" doesn't add up.
Fred--------------I gotta believe that if a person puts a gun to their own head, they are truly committed to suicide.
A person with that kind of commitment will find a way.
OOT -- in many cases, I disagree. The fact that suicides are several times more likely in homes with guns should tell you something.
If there's anyone out there who REALLY, REALLY believes guns will kill more people than autos by 2015, I've got a bridge in Arizona you can buy.Hide replies

Bikerdope, skewing statistics is performed very well by lefties that try to make it fit their point of view, even when it defies logic.
Biker really? You dont get this was humor. Guess you should really wear a helmet more often.
Maybe we can let the reason be seen through Christmas past. See the journey of a life of a man that lost a good friend to the gun at Christmas and married at Christmas in his honor. A man of peace, a pilot, a family man. The carpenter and simple man. All of his Christmases he had without the gun. The story of the man behind the park of peace built to honor him for Christmas.
Most of these "accidental" and/or "criminal" shootings occur in drug houses and where felons are doing the "accidental" shooting.
PSSST, liberals, it's ALREADY illegal for felons to possess firearms.
Now, the stats that idiot liberals will NOT discuss is how many of these "accidental" shootings occur in houses that consist of legal citizens having CCW licenses ? For example, how many "accidental" shootings occurred in Wisconsin during the gun deer hunting season ? Approximately 600,000 hunters ALL with firearms and HOW many "accidental" shootings ????
BUT, that doesn't fit their idiotic templates...
James you have your crazies foaming at the mouth. Keep up the good work!
I wonder if the guy in Sussex that shot that underage partier who was hiding in his front porch feels his life is better because he was able to defend himself instead of calling the police?Hide replies
I suppose you'd feel better if the guy called the cops and ended up getting killed, huh?
Why take the chance?
Because you might just kill a drunk teen hiding in your front porch.
How is one to know it's just a drunk teenager (I don't believe he was a teenager,but why let details get in the way)?
Is the homeowner to politely ask, "sir, are you just a drunk teenager or are you here to do me and/or my family harm"? Perhaps a 10 second period awaiting an answer?
Sorry. not going to happen. The second the guy enters a house uninvited it is assumed that he is a threat to everybody in residence and shooting him is completely justified.
There's an old saying....
Better to be safe than sorry.
He shot first, he's alive. Could have EASILY been the other way around.
Just another thought, if you don't want to take the chance of getting shot, try not "hiding out" on someone's porch in the middle of the night.....
But hey, why hold the kid responsible for his actions when you can simply demonize the homeowner, the law, and the gun?
Not demonizing the homeowner at all. He was justified under the law. My question was how does he feel about the situation, and I wonder if he thinks he may have made a better choice.
Bink, that happened in Slinger! And I am sure he does feel better. Please either get your story straight or just keep it shut
As one has said, then do not try to break into my house to hide from the police. Hiding from the police may tell me something you do not want to tell me.....i.e. you are a criminal with the intent to do harm
Or you are a drunk kid hiding from a raided house party. I am not justifying what the kid did. It's just another example of the ultra-high ratio of non threatening people being shot relative to the number of threatening people being shot.
It seems you folks are cool with that ratio.
This comment has been deleted.Hide replies
Simple, this does NOT fit the narrative that liberals want people to know.
There are many of the examples that you cite, but they are NEVER shown on the "nightly news". They will not have their gun banning agenda shown to have massive problems and downright lies exposed.
A person with half a brain(I know, that excludes the majority of liberals) with known that criminals will target business/houses/people that they know do NOT have a chance of having weapons for protection.
It's easier for liberals to "feel good" thinking that banning them will make the "bad guys" go away....since it works SO well in Chicago....
Thank you BootsAgain for posting this information. I was not aware of many of those events.
Hey Jimmy, with your math skills, if two people had a gun in their seperate homes and one of them killed and intruder, that would be 1 in 2 or 50%. So, what I just gave you was some stupid, useless info, just like you gave us!

Would more display space result in better productivity when performing computer tasks?

Please restrict your answer to facts and research.
This New York Times article, Virtues of a Second Screen claims:
The data in the NYT and other similar articles (such as this Slashdot post) appear to come from a Jon Peddie Research study (executive summary) (full report behind a paywall).
There appears to be another side to the story as well. Lifehacker reports that the multiple monitor efficiency is a myth. They cited a 'technologist' from InfoVegan, named clay Johnson:
Clay based this opinion off of the fact that sources of some articles stating the efficiency of multiple monitors increased, were often funded by monitor companies.
As a software engineer, I find two screens pretty much essential for my work. However if I am trying to focus on writing or some other single task, I tend to use my other screen for browsing the web and general procrastination, which isn't good! I have on occasion actually switched off my second screen to prevent this!
I've found that I get a LOT more done with two monitors; it saves a lot of time switching windows.
Here's some info from a Microsoft research study that found a 9 to 50 percent increase in productivity by adding monitors: http://research.microsoft.com/en-us/news/features/vibe.aspx
As many of you say, it depends on the tasks you're doing,
But what i think is crucial is how tidy you're with the space you have
Try to do a little exercise, look around you and check how you're using the physical space on your table, is it filled up with stuff you are not using since... ages ago? then an upgrade of pixels in your screen or gettin another monitor, won't make any diference to your productivity.
I've seen many people with a desktop filled with literally hundreds of icons, including documents, application links and so,
Before gettin' an upgrade (and i think this can be applied to many other subjects) ReConsider how you are using what you already have.
It depends, do you have room for all the things you are paying attention to on the screen? If not, you might need more room.
If you're just focused on one thing, though, you may do better with less stuff on screen, ala http://www.quietwrite.com/
As far as "facts and research" goes, you won't find any that general. Do you have the right tools to accomplish your goals isn't something academic research is done on, especially if you haven't mentioned what those goals might be.
Interesting question, I would suggest you have a look at some of the articles Scott Hanselman put up on his blog, he has been struggling with this issue for some time and it is worth to read it:

The act of exchanging some item of value for a given controlled substance (or cash to be used in the purchase thereof), as carried out by an addict of that substance when an otherwise exhaustive search has failed to yield the funds necessary to support his habit. The quantity of drugs received for the object of a cluck tends be very small in relationship to the item's perceived market value. This discrepancy can be attributed to the efforts of the person receiving the cluck to capitalize on his knowledge that the clucker has reached a state of desperation, in which he is liable to forego any attachment to material possessions, as well as any remaining vestige of common sense (often to the point of inevitable regret), in exchange for the opportunity to satiate his physical cravings for even the shortest duration.

Liberty Middle School's 8th grade boys survived a scrappy St. Mark's team to take a hard-fought 38-34 win on the road Mon.
St. Mark's executed their game plan very effectively to counteract LMS' height advantage. Pump fake/drives by St. Mark's resulted in numerous free throws for them, and foul trouble for the LMS big kids, Samson Kohman and Traik Peltier.
St. Mark's played a 1-2-2 zone, denying the wings and forcing the Junior Greenbacks to get the ball into the high post, which according to head coach Andy Kisner, "We didn't handle very well."
Offensively, Samson Kohman was "unstoppable" in Coach Kisner's words. Kohman scored 22 points, but Kisner said, "We didn't get him the ball enough."
Devan Stephens and Drew Roadhouse saw good minutes off the bench, allowing LMS to hold their lead while Peltier and Kohman were benched with foul trouble.
With St. Mark's applying pressure down the stretch, the Pratt middlers executed their press offense well. Ahead by a lone basket, Peltier was able to hit Bryce Stegman for a lay-up to go up by 4 and seal the win.

Following "Pan and Zoom" in our last release in Kdenlive 0.8 there will be a new GUI for the Corners effect, unleashing its real power:
read more »
Corners was already available in Kdenlive 0.7.8 (under its frei0r name c0rners) but probably remained unrecognized because it was very hard to use. The x, y position of every corner had to be adjusted using a slider. In the next release this should be whole lot easier. The corners can be moved directly on the monitor. Additionally there are some more controls to make your life easier: The red cross in the center of the upper layer moves all corners at once. Using the controls on the edges of the upper layer you can move the two corners next to them.
Let's have a closer look at the interface and some of the parameters:
Despite its power there are some things to consider before enjoying it:
The "c0rners" filter was introduced in frei0r 1.2. However when using keyframes and also when changing multiple parameters it was very, very slow. Additionally the parameter Alpha operation was not available. It is therefore highly recommended to upgrade to frei0r 1.3 (released today, 03/09/11).
You shouldn't use this effect to zoom into media with a resolution higher than the project resolution. If doing so the image will be scaled down first and then scaled up by c0rners afterwards. To avoid this loss use Pan and zoom. It will pass any downscaling. You can then afterwards apply c0rners for some fancy movements.
As you might have already noticed this effect can do much more than placing images inside each other.
I would therefore like to thank Marko for writing this awesome effect!
A quick note at the end: Attaching your video camera on a monopod and holding it upside down just a bit above the ground while riding a bike creates a nice look ;)

That's a nice feature. It brings Kdenlive closer to video composition. I'm looking forward for the 0.8 version.

I use usually kdenlive on my kubuntu: I think that the solution of monitor effects "editing" will be surely amazing. I've tried the last OpenShot release: except some things (smooth scale animation & animated title) Kdenlive 0.8 will overcome Openshot in number of feature. I hope that kdenlive will remain well organized in all its numerous function (like now),to let people free to use easily this marvelous program.
Well done!
Sun, 03/20/2011 - 16:05
I keep wondering what is the meaning of position values having a slider like seen on this screenshot, as they have not a minimum nor a maximum value (so slider values are completely arbitrary and so separated that turns sliding uncomfortable).
And also why don't we just implement a more compact parameter layout for this kind of cases whete X and Y parameters are on the same row.
Corner1 Xvalue, Yvalue
Corner2 Xvalue, Yvalue
Corner3 Xvalue, Yvalue
Corner4 Xvalue, Yvalue
Stretch Xvalue, Yvalue
Thanks for listening!!

But, on the other hand, I'm patient... ;P
Thank you and the other guys here, for developing such a great app.!

... I am using kdenlive 0.9.2 and I cannot find "Corners". Could you please tell me if this feature still exists and where?
Thanks! :)
Thu, 04/04/2013 - 12:00
Not sure where this effect is in 0.9.2 or if it exists there. But it does exist in 0.9.4 (well it exists in my version of kdenlive which is actually a recent git version) but my guess is that it does exist in 0.9.4
It is in the distort group of effects.

I have terrible soil in my yard, because the builder scraped off most of the topsoil and sold it. I need to aerate the yard and get some more nutrients in it. Has anyone tried any of the liquid aerification products? I tried Aerify Plus, but it hasn't been long enough to judge if it is helping.
Liquid aerification doesn't really sound like a good idea to me, but I quite honestly know nothing about it.
What I'd do: Rent an aerator, spread compost and/or some good fertilizer, and water the yard. Repeat at least once a year. If you don't have any grass growing currently, bring in some compost and mix it in with the existing soil with a tiller (or something bigger).
The liquid aeration didn't appear to do much. Part of it is the moderate drought my area of the country is in. I am going to have the lawn mechanically aerated in a couple of weeks, so the experiment is over.
A popular form of compost that is easy to apply is alfalfa compost. It comes in pellets that you can spread with any typical lawn spreader for fertilizer. Avoid using commercial fertilizers as they become like drugs for your lawn - the lawn will not grow without the fertilizer.
Build up the lawn with compost, mulched leaves in the fall and mulched clippings. You may have to add some topsoil back into your lawn, but keep in mind that sellers are allowed to sell topsoil full of weed seeds. If you add some topsoil to your lawn, the next year you may find your lawn is full of weeds!

Men's Nike LeBron All Star T-Shirt
Shoot for the moon in the Nike LeBron All Star T-Shirt. This shirt celebrates LeBron James and his unbelievable talent, as it has no limits.
The cool galactic screen-printed design adds a no-boundaries feel so you can look limitless, and feel limitless, especially thanks to the Dri-FIT 60% cotton/40% polyester materials that help transport sweat so it doesn't stick to your skin.
The rib crew neck with interior taping also aids in a freer feel, as it provides durability and a softer base for a non-itchy neck movement. With awesome comfort, style, and galaxy stars, even if you don't land on the moon, you know what they say: you might land on a star.

Public Tube: - London Undeground
Hi All,
This is my first Sencha Touch web app, Public Tube: -
A simple web app which displays the London Underground live tube status, predicted weekend status and a tubemap.
I've only been learning Sencha Touch for about a week, so apologies for any sloppy javascript in there (Just using a crappy URL refresh for testing, as I need to learn how to reload the JSONP scripts in a component, which is in a TabPanel )
Hope you like it,

Looks great.
Now if the tube posted data to show the trains on the map ... that'd be sweet.
23 Jan 2011 3:54 AM #4
Thanks for all the comments!
That is a very neat idea, make a svg of the tube map or an imagemap maybe? One to think about anyway
Right now, parsing the train departure boards, station and line feed data from TFL (which btw are a complete mess) and then add them to the web app
26 Jan 2011 5:55 PM #5
Hi All,
Just updated the web app: -
Layout changes and introduced live departure boards (basic but functional at the moment).
Next step will be to give detailed departure for specific station on a tube line, which will require some thought about how to implement it.
Cheers and hope you like it

Looks great. I'm not in London right now but have lived / consulted there in the past - and this will eventually be a great app to have as there's nothing worse the running to the station to find out a line's backed up - or broken.
31 Jan 2011 3:39 AM #7
Hi All,
I've just updated - the user can now search for train information at a specific station.
Version 1.95 - Detailed Train prediction
Version 1.75 - Summary Train prediction
Will better implement the form validation, try to add zooming on the tubemap and then will call it a day on this web app!
31 Jan 2011 6:14 AM #8
fantastic job :-)
how do you retrieve the data?
31 Jan 2011 7:02 AM #9
Follow the link to the site below: -
Select the feed data that you want and fill out the form, TFL will review your application and respond within 48 hours.
N.B. The feed data is sent back in XML, so you might want to convert to JSON (what I do is use cURL to get the feed data, then simpleXML and then json encode it, all via php
Hope that helps?

The 10 Most Awesome Movies Hollywood Ever Killed
Hollywood is a slaughterhouse where cool movie ideas go to die. Here are ten films that were tragically cut down before their time, simply because they were just too friggin' awesome.
#10. Peter Jackson's Halo
Fans of the popular video game wept tears of joy when a Halo film was announced in 2005. Other bodily fluids escaped when it was announced that the Lord of the Rings guy (Peter Jackson) was on board to produce and Guillermo del Toro (Pan's Labyrinth, Hellboy) was in talks to direct. But suddenly, in the fall of 2006, both of the studios financing the film bailed out.
Why it didn't get made: The rumored budget offered about 200 million reasons, with a dollar sign in front. To break even, every single person who bought the last Halo game would have to go see the film version seven times. Also, Microsoft's deal included demands that Gates & Co. have creative control over the project. If you don't see why that would be a problem, then you've apparently never heard of Microsoft.
Sure, somebody will make a Halo movie some day (Twentieth Century Fox re-acquired the rights in June of 2007), but it won't be the beautiful love child of Lord of the Rings and Aliens that fanboys dreamed of the moment the heard "Halo" and "Peter Jackson" in the same sentence. It's more likely come back as a bargain basement $60 million production, most likely with a wrestler in the lead. And no matter how bad it is, the geek crowd will give them a big opening weekend and the studio will make a tidy little profit. Direct-to-DVD sequels will surely follow.
And while we're on the subject: We won't be seeing Peter Jackson's The Hobbit any time soon, either. New Line booted him from the project, their revenge for a lawsuit he brought over some disputed Lord of the Rings profits. Let us grieve for all the great movies that would get made if Hollywood wasn't full of greedy douchebags.
#9. Unbreakable 2
Whether or not you think Unbreakable was a great movie, you almost have to agree it was a great idea for a movie. It's a grown-up superhero film, without the silly costumes or CGI monsters or preposterous plans to take over the world -- Just a taut battle of wills between extraordinary men, both of the roles played by charismatic superstars. But right as the story reaches its crucial apex, where the hero tracks down the evil genius and realizes he must Stop Him at All Costs, the film abruptly ends. Credits.
That there was supposed to be a sequel (in fact, a trilogy, according to Willis) is obvious. What is not obvious is what in the holy hell M. Night Shyamalan was thinking.
Everyone knows the reason superhero sequels are usually better than the original (think X-Men 2, Superman 2, and Spider-Man 2) is because they don't have to devote half their running time to the tedious origin story. The origin story is always boring, with the pre-superhero protagonist stumbling around like an everyday dumbass for an hour. Shyamalan, for reasons science may never unravel, decided to make Unbreakable nothing but the origin story, stretching that part across the entire running time and saving the actual awesome Good vs. Evil super-battle for the next film.
Why it didn't get made: Not enough people went to see the origin story part. Not after the first weekend, anyway, when crowds of moviegoers sat blinking as the lights came up, thinking someone had stolen the last reel. The Sixth Sense-esque word-of-mouth producers had been banking on turned out to be literally one word: "Ass."
And while we're on the subject: Did you know Shyamalan was in talks to direct the first Harry Potter movie back in 2001? Even those of you who don't like the director have to admit that he probably could have made a more interesting first film than Chris Columbus crapped out. Plus, at the end, maybe we would have found out Harry was actually DEAD THE ENTIRE TIME.
#8. Ghostbusters 3: Ghostbusters in Hell
Dan Aykroyd has been desperately pushing for a Ghostbusters sequel for over a decade (yes, we're refusing to acknowledge that Ghostbusters 2 exists). He wrote a script years ago called Ghostbusters: Hellbent (later changed to the more descriptive Ghostbusters in Hell when co-conspirator Harold Ramis got involved) where the ghostbusting crew wind up in a version of New York that exists only in Hell. As the original actors aged and the film continued to not get made, the script was changed to accommodate new, younger group of comedy all-stars to play newly-hired ghostbusters-which, for better or worse, was going to include Ben Stiller.
Why it didn't get made: Because "Billy" didn't want to get within ten feet of the thing, according to Aykroyd. "Billy" is Bill Murray, who didn't like how the second movie turned out (what second movie?) and has since dedicated his life to making more serious films. To be fair, special effects are fun to watch but not so much fun to act in. Murray, now in his late 50s, probably didn't want to spend half a year in front of green screens, covered in slime and getting thrashed around by hydraulic monsters, with Aykroyd and Ramis calling him "Billy" and giving him big thumbs-up signs the whole time
And while we're on the subject: Before the original Ghostbusters came around, Ivan Reitman, Bill Murray and Dan Aykroyd were in talks to make Hitchhiker's Guide to the Galaxy. It was scrapped when Aykroyd came up with the idea for Ghostbusters.
#7. Kevin Smith's Fletch Won, starring Chris Rock
If at the mention of "Fletch" you groan and say, "That '80s Chevy Chase movie?" then we're very, very ashamed of you. Long before that film came along, the Fletch character appeared in a dozen very smart, funny novels by author Gregory McDonald. You should read them. No, not right now.
In 2000 Kevin Smith and Miramax got the rights to Fletch Won, a McDonald novel about a young Fletch that takes place before the Chevy Chase movies. It seemed like a perfect fit: It saved Smith from the burden of coming up with a story, and it let him focus on writing the crude, rapid-fire dialogue that is his one unique talent.
Pretty much every young male actor in Hollywood was mentioned in connection with the role (Matthew Perry, Brad Pitt, Adam Sandler, Jimmy Fallon, many more) but we'd have rolled the dice with Chris Rock, who apparently wanted the part very badly. The difference in race from the original Fletch shouldn't have been an issue. At worst, they could have just digitally added Chevy Chase's face and had Chris Rock dub the dialogue.
Why it didn't get made: Smith said he wouldn't direct the movie unless his best friend for life Jason Lee got the part. Shortly thereafter, Miramax announced that Smith wouldn't be directing the movie. Once again, Smith's career was evidently set back by his insistence that he only work with actors he's had at least one drunken pillow fight with. Since this limits his choices to Lee and Ben Affleck (and we're thinking the latter would not only have ruined the franchise, but would have incited fans to pile up all the copies of the novel and hold a Nazi-style book burning) the studio is wisely developing Fletch with another writer and director.
So everything's back on track! On the other hand, apparently the lead in talks to play Fletch is now-brace yourself-Zach Braff.
And while we're on the subject: Maybe Kevin Smith shouldn't take over other people's franchises after all; his Superman Lives script (widely available online) had the potential to be one of the worst movies ever made.
#6. David Fincher's Rendezvous with Rama
Sci-Fi fans seem doomed to choose between silly action movies (like Transformers or Independence Day) and slow, existential lower-budget fare (like Solaris). What we want is more films like The Matrix, goddamnit, where they can delve into metaphysical ideas and still get a solid hour of zero-gravity kung fu. (Seriously, Hollywood, why is that so hard?) Fans saw a ray of light a few years ago with word that none other than Fight Club's David Fincher was on board to direct a big-budget adaptation of Rendezvous with Rama, an Arthur C. Clarke classic about a mysterious 30 mile-long cylinder that comes humming toward Earth like Gaia's lost vibrator.
Why it didn't get made: Money. If you want to make a Rama film you'll need nine digits just to get a seat at the table (remember, Fincher is the guy who needed a $90 million budget to make a movie about two guys fighting in their basement).
Merchandising on Rama wouldn't exactly be a gold mine, either. Little Timmy isn't going to spend hours with his 100 foot-long plastic Rama mothership, contemplating how it symbolizes man's eternal struggle against the cosmic unknown. While the producers hunted in vain for funding, Fincher's schedule filled up with other, less interesting projects (Panic Room, Zodiac).
And while we're on the subject: Fincher was supposed to direct Mission Impossible III as well. If he had taken the job, he could have simultaneously saved both that franchise and the TV show Lost, which languished without JJ Abrams (who had to basically abandon it in order to direct MI:III).

In terms of a mixed bill selling I think that there is PR and there is also choice of ballets. ...
...just trying to make the point that a program could be put together what would sell with the right hook and a little PR push.
I also wonder if more could not be done to make these programs sell better and I was surprised not see more "fuss" whether in advertising or special features about an evening featuring premiers by the two choreographers usually considered the best classical ballet choreographers working today. Of course, it would have been good for ABT had the NYTimes, say, had a big Sunday feature on their "Premier" night. (I should add that it's entirely possible a Times writer or critic lobbied to do such a feature and was turned down by the editors.)
But I also think casting can work wonders, which Vipa also suggested. What about a classics to premiers evening that included "Other Dances" with Osipova-Halberg alternating with Vishneva-Gomez? That would be artistically substantial and a crowd-pleaser. Macaulay's own suggestion about pairing a short work with one of the shorter, two act "full length" works is also shrewd.
ABT's "audience" may be happy with the current Met seasons--but that does not mean they would not also be happy if the company developed its strengths in repertory programs (or, for that matter, improved the quality of their full length productions). By featuring just one repertory program for four performances in the middle of the week, it's as if the company is actively discouraging audience interest by showing its own lack of faith in that kind of program. The Met season is the company's "big" New York season so what they do there matters and there are a number of short works that, historically, have played there very well including ABT classics such as Rodeo and Fancy Free.
I don't think the ABT Met season need or even should radically change--far from it--and I hugely admire much of what Mckenzie has done. As the director of a ballet company only in fantasy, my job is a lot easier than his! Still, I can't help but think that at least a full week or week and a half could be managed of two different programs or varied mix and match repertory with shrewd audience-pleasing casting. I also suspect that having more repertory programing would generate more interest in that programming, as it would show audiences that these programs are an integral part of the season, and that the company itself has faith in what they are doing.
To say something a little more directly on topic: in one or two articles I have thought Macaulay sounded as if he simply wished ABT were a different company and for me as a reader those are not his most interesting moments, but in his review of the recent premier evening I did not think that was the case and he does seem to put his finger on something at least some ABT fans care about...which is part of the reason it has generated this discussion...

National Guard and Reserve servicemembers who complete a minimum of 20 "qualifying" years of service (creditable retirement years) become eligible for retired pay at age 60.
A law passed in early 2008 allows Reserve and Guard members with 20 or more years to begin drawing retirement benefits before age 60 if they deploy for war or national emergency. For every 90 consecutive days spent mobilized, members of the Guard and reserve will see their start date for annuities reduced by three months. But this law only applies for deployment time served after Jan. 28, 2008.
A qualifying year, under this system, is a year in which the servicemember earns at least 50 retirement points during their retirement year. Inactive point credit is earned for inactive duty training, Reserve membership, equivalent instruction, and correspondence courses.
By law, members may receive credit for up to 60 inactive points for retirement years that ended before September 23, 1996, up to 75 inactive points for retirement years ending on or after September 23, 1996 and before October 30, 2000, and up to 90 points in the retirement year that includes October 30, 2000 and in any subsequent year of service. Points from these sources may be added to points earned from active duty and active duty for training for a maximum total of 365 or 366 points per retirement year. Points are credited on the following basis:
Visit the Army Reserve Retirement Pay Calculator to get an estimate of your monthly retirement pay at age 60.
The Secretary of the military department concerned (Secretary of Homeland Security for the Coast Guard) notifies, in writing, members of the Reserve Forces who have completed the eligibility requirements for retirement and receipt of retired pay at age 60. Notice is sent to the member within one year of reaching eligibility. Reserve Component members generally have three options upon receiving notice of eligibility:
1. Remain in the Ready Reserve and continue to perform inactive duty training, annual training and active duty for training depending on their training and pay category, or remain on the active status list of the Standby Reserve and continue to perform unpaid training for the purpose of accumulating retirement points.
2. Transfer to the Retired Reserve. A member in this category may participate in inactive duty training provided:
a) Such training is at no expense to the Government.
b) Members are not entitled to pay or retirement points.
c) No official record of such participation is maintained.
3. Request discharge from the Reserve Components.
Note: Regardless of the option chosen, the member is entitled to receive retired pay at age 60, but must apply for it.
Upon reaching age 60, a Guard or Reserve retiree may begin receiving retired pay. There are currently two Reserve retirement systems that parallel the systems for active duty: the Final Basic Pay System and the High-Three System. To determine which retirement system a Reserve Component member is under, look at the same criteria that determines the retirement system for the active force ? the Date of Initial Entry to Military Service (DIEMS). That is the date an individual first became a member of a uniformed service.
Note: The date an individual first became a member of a uniformed service is the sole determining factor in determining which retirement system is used when computing retired pay.
* Uniformed services include the National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration (NOAA) and the U. S. Public Health Service (USPHS).
An important factor: A member who retires under either system receives longevity credit for those years while a member of the Retired Reserve awaiting pay at age 60. However, this does not apply to a former member who is entitled to retired pay under either the Final Basic Pay System or the High-three System. A former member is defined as an individual who elected discharge rather than transfer to the Retired Reserve anytime after receiving notification of eligibility to receive Reserve retired pay at age 60. In the case of a former member, regardless of the system under which the individual will receive Reserve retired pay, longevity credit ceases on the date the former member was discharged.
Visit the Army Reserve Retired Pay Calculator at: http://www.hrc.army.mil/calculators/retirementcalc.aspx to estimate your retirement pay.

Kitchenware Liquidation Sale - Over 100 Items Up to 80% Off
coupon code: TTE10
Don't even pretend you can't find room for more cool stuff in your kitchen.
3 Comments add a comment
There are actually some good deals here.
They collect sales tax in FL and I imagine lots of other states. They charge for shipping but the slow shipping option was only $3 for a bunch of stuff, so still a good deal.
You can also use coupon code TTE10 for an extra 10% off.
I'd avoid the anchor hocking storage stuff, the lids are shitty plastic that melts in the microwave unlike Pyrex.
buy over $25 and get a flat slow-rate of $2.99 shipping.
Shipping starts at $4.99 or is free over $99, but some larger items may incur a weight surcharge. Add the code DH11 and take an additional 11% off.

Many Poskim who permit listening of music year-round prohibit it during the Omer and the Three Weeks. Is it ok to watch American Idol during these periods of time, according to the opinions who permit it during the rest of the year?

Not having a television, and not being a big music guy anyways, I've only seen bits of the program at my fathers house while it was on, and that was many years ago. Nevertheless from memory and/or assumption I would suggest the following issues:
This might be a good time to put in an additional reminder to ask your rabbi for questions about how to act in practice.
I thought Rav Ovadiah's opinion was that non-live Kol Isha was only a problem if you knew the singer personally; I hadn't heard about the visual component. (No pun intended.) But I could me mistaken.
Let's ask the following question: if your practice is to watch American Idol when it's not Sefira, should anything change because of Sefira?
The answer as I see it: certain customs were adopted by the American Jewish community for sefira. These include avoiding music and movie theaters. (My guess is the latter descended from a custom not to attend live theaters.) To the best of my knowledge, the custom never extended to TV. I've never heard of someone who would watch a TV show when it's not Sefira, but avoided it during Sefira because of its background music. American Idol is a good question because (arguably) the music is the main part of the show. My sense is even so, we never accepted a custom against "TV shows", so Sefira shouldn't change anything.
Of course, if someone wants to watch less television as a way of religious improvement during this period, that's wonderful.
I'm surprised no one yet argued that it should certainly be permitted to listen to certain contestants, as what they're producing isn't "music", and your first reaction would be to cringe and moan, not clap and dance! :)
If you are male, and you that hold not live Kol-Eesha is not ok, than definitely no.

Over the past few years I've accumulated enough MileagePlus miles on United for a reward. I've never used miles before, and was wondering how to use them to get the most out of them. Is simply booking a reward ticket through United.com the best way to go? Or is there a more strategic way to spend miles?
For most Frequent Flyer programs, and especially for United Mileage Plus, the best use of miles is to use them for flights.
United's mileage flight cost is based on regions (with one exception which is distance based for flights less than 700 miles), so there are definitely some flights that are better value than others.
Firstly, there's 2 tiers of flights - "Saver" and "Standard". Saver awards are half the cost of Standard awards, but availability is limited, where Standard awards are available on any flight where seats are available for sale. Obviously this makes Saver awards a better option, but if you're looking at booking a ticket on a near-full flight, a Standard award still might be a good option compared to buying a very expensive paid ticket!
Next there's the class of ticket. You can book Economy, Business or First class tickets with miles - with Business or First being an amazingly good deal, especially for International. Business Class tickets cost only about 60% more than Economy, and First are only twice the Economy price. If you compare that to paying with cash, where business will normally be 3-10 times the economy price, and first even more, it's a great use of miles.
With the exception of flights less than 700 miles, all flights are priced in terms of regions. eg, anywhere in the US to anywhere else in the US is 25,000 miles return as a saver economy award. If you were to pay cash, that could cost you anywhere between (say) $150 and $1500 - obviously the best use of miles is when the flight is selling for a much higher price.
International flights are when things can become great value. eg, a return trip to Australia from anywhere in the US is only 80,000 miles in economy - only about 3 times the cost of a round trip within the US.
The region-based pricing, along with the ability to have a stopover on a return trip means that you can build some fairly good trips. eg, I recently flew San Francisco to Sydney, then Brisbane to Bangkok, to Singapore, to Hong Kong, and then back to San Francisco - all in Business class, on 4 different airlines, for only 135,000 miles. That's the same number of miles it would have cost to fly to Sydney alone - but due to the region concept I was able to come back via Asia for the same price as returning direct! Return bookings allow for one stopover and one open-jaw.
You can also book one-way awards, which are especially useful if flights are expensive in one direction, but cheap in the other. When comparing paid v's redemption flights, most people work on miles being worth about 2-3 cents each - if it's cheaper than that, just pay cash, otherwise consider using miles. eg, if a flight will cost 12,500 miles (one-way economy saver award), and you can buy it for $125, then pay cash! However if the same flight will cost $400 (ie, 3.2 cents/mile), then it's a good opportunity to use miles.
UPDATE: A few months ago United changed the prices for some of it's award flights. The biggest change was that some awards on "partner" airlines, especially in business/first class, now cost more than the United equivalents. Most everything above still holds, but in terms of best value for points, premium cabin flights on United airlines now work out cheaper than premium cabin flights on other partner/Star Alliance airlines.
I have used my United miles for airline tickets and felt there is not a better alternative for spending miles. It was very easy to use the miles - simply book a ticket and choose award miles. Also, I linked my hotel awards to my United Miles and it made it much quicker to collect miles.
I just did some basic math based on current united pricing.
Booked 2 months out, a round trip economy ticket from Seattle to Hawaii is $540, and lowest first class is $1,650.
Per milage cost is as follows (round trip) super saver: 45,000 miles (~83 points per dollar) standard economy: 90,000 miles (160 points per dollar) first class: 180,000 miles (109 points per dollar)
Now this is based on the cheapest ticket I could find and cheapest miles I could find for the flight 2 months out so it may not be equal for more expensive flights.
Then, I noticed on the redeeem miles page, you can get a $25 restaraunt.com gift certificate for 500 miles, or a $100 gift certificate for 2,000 miles, which works out to 20 points per $, which looks significantly better than flights.

Did you know you can donate money to the Treasury to specifically service the U.S. Public Debt?
While looking at the National Debt Clock today on the US Treasury website, I ran across the most absurd concept. I thought I should share it.
Buried in the Treasury FAQ is a tiny link to a site that allows you to make direct donations to service the National Debt.
How absurd. I then looked up 31 U.S.C. 3113 and found out the law was passed on January 3, 2012.
It must have been a part of the last Debt Ceiling or Budget negotiations.
As far as I can tell, the donations are not considered tax-deductible.
How absurd.
Will you be donating?

Nope, I've been adding to the national debt by buying savings bonds.

just wait until they start cold calling people for donations.
In for 0!
You could for a while, according to this article it started back in the 60s. For years I've heard people on both sides chiding rich celebrities (especially if they are famous for nothing other than sports or acting) to put their money where their mouth is and send money there if they think they aren't paying enough taxes.
@mkdr: You're probably right. Probably the latest revision to the law was enacted 1/3/12. Maybe it authorized the webpage? The language is far from clear.
Yes, I did. And, I've been wondering why all these wealthy people (like Buffettt) who say they want to be taxed more haven't just written checks to put their money where their mouth is.
Huh. Even if I were in the position, I wouldn't do it. I refuse to encourage people who refuse to follow a logical budget.
@kmeltzer: Buffet has offered to match contributions from congressmen, but so far nobody has taken him up on it.
Apparently people have donated $8 million this year to pay it down... amazing.
From the article above:
The whole idea of accepting donations to help pay down the national debt didn't exist until 1961, when an anonymous estate left $20 million to the Bureau of Public Debt for just that purpose. Congress had to pass a law in order to be able to accept the money, and a total of $85 million has poured into the bureau's coffers in the 51 years since then.
@samstag: So, he's attaching a condition to doing something he has said he wants to be taxed more to do?
Again, he just won't put his money where his mouth is.
@belowi: Wow. That's astounding. They have managed to collect an extra $8,000,000 in extra taxes from the people of this country.
@kmeltzer: Yea. I'm going to send this link to Buffet. And also every public facing email address of Berkshire-Hathaway.
@kmeltzer: You should probably read the article, because you're misunderstanding the point he's making. He wants the tax code reformed so the rich pay higher rates, including himself. Senator Harry Reid basically said "if you want to pay more taxes just donate to the deficit fund". But even if he donates half of his wealth (the other half is already pledged to charity) he can only make a small dent on his own, so Buffet offered to donate just as much as Harry did, and later extended the offer to other politicians.
@wilfbrim: Haha.. good luck. He knows he can do it, but it's easier to say you want to part with your money, rather than parting with your money.
@samstag: I read the article, and am quite clear on the entire situation. Politics is my sport.
What he (Buffett) is doing is, as he's been doing, is nothing. He talks, but doesn't do anything. He knows he can put his entire wealth in, and it won't do a thing. And, he also knows that raising taxes or matching Reid will do nothing. He also knows that if you tax the "1%" at 100% it will do nothing.
He does nothing, because he knows it will do nothing. But, it's easier to talk large instead of just throwing away the money you earned. Even the uber-rich don't want to do that.
Caution more absurd then the original post
Warning Do not read if you have comment sense
Dude seriously why are you still reading this post?
Sweet then I can avoid paying taxes on the money. (I am assuming it is a tax free donation).
Did you also know that you can toss a pebble into the Grand Canyon?
