Make Your Own Fender-Wall HeadersWritten by on April 10, 2012 Without A Tubing Bender
There's no meaner look than a set of fender-wall headers hanging down behind your car's front tires. Sure, you'll need to slash away some factory tin to get clearance, but you'll also gain the benefits of simplified exhaust routing, the elimination of header-to-front suspension-interference hassles, and better engine breathing.
Watch as we cobble a set of mean tubes for this crazy Cammer-powered, altered-wheelbase, straight-axle '81 Fairmont sedan. We did it ourselves for about $350 in materials--a far cry from the $1,500 quote we got from an exhaust fabrication shop. Even if you think your ride doesn't need the in-your-face factor of fender walls, the techniques shown here can be adapted to the construction of conventional under car headers, too. Feed your head.

Limited-displacement engines like the 281-cube (4.6L) Cammer prefer smaller tubes to preserve torque. So we called Summit Racing and got fourteen 15⁄8 pre-formed J-bends (PN SUM621002, $14.95 each), a pair of 3-inch-diameter collectors (PN SUM14011, $48.69 pair), and 3-inch collector flanges (PN SUM15300, $7.69 ea.) that we'll cap during street use.Summit doesn't offer raw header flanges for the Ford DOHC mod engine, so we called JBA for a pair of laser-cut flanges (PN 46-158, $40.60 each). They're made of beefy, 3⁄4-inch steel plate to resist warping.The first step is positioning each collector where you want it to be. Make sure the temporary tack welds and metal tabs are strong and don't move during construction.The magic of J-bends is how you can cut them into many sections, then slice and rotate them to get the same effect as a tubing bender. In this shot, we used the chop saw to separate eight J-bends into three parts (marked 1, 2 and 3). Section number two will become the flange extension. It'll feed into section number three.Regardless of engine type, you'll need to form the round tubes to suit the header flange openings. The DOHC Ford mod motor employs unique ovoid exhaust ports leading from to its twin, 30mm exhaust valves.A few light strikes are all it takes to flatten each round tube to fit into the flange. The modified tube is on the left.Center each tube in the flange opening and weld two permanent beads. You don't want the tubes shifting, rotating, or otherwise breaking loose during subsequent fabrication steps. This is no place for spot welds.Here's the semifinished flange. Note the wide gaps at the ends of each port. They'll leak like crazy, but don't worry—we close 'em up in a moment.
Remember pipe section number three that resulted when we sliced the first eight J-bends? With a small wedge sliced off each end (as shown), they mate perfectly to the extensions after being rotated 180 degrees. Work one cylinder at a time. The chop saw makes the cleanest cuts, though a hacksaw will suffice if you're careful to work evenly.Three tubes are temporarily tack-welded to their feed pipes. Use a straightedge or piece of straight pipe to ensure they're all level and evenly spaced. The leading pipe (on cylinder No. 1, right) is not shown, as it must be routed to clear the upper shock absorber mount. We'll tackle it last. Ford mod motors place cylinders 5, 6, 7, and 8 on the driver side (from front to rear) and cylinders 1, 2, 3, and 4 on the passenger side (also front to rear).We'll start running our tubes from cylinder No. 4. It'll feed into the top-left opening of the collector. Note that we've removed some material from the pipe to yield proper alignment with the collector. Make sure your car's front tires are in place and it's sitting at normal ride height to prevent rubbing. You must ensure 1 inch of tire clearance with the front suspension at full compression.Position a J-bend against the existing tubes. Use an ink marker to indicate where cuts are needed. Measure twice . . . cut once. Here, the downtube has been tack-welded in place and the horizontal merge portion is being measured and marked for cutting.One tube down, seven to go. As each primary tube enters the collector, remember not to apply anything more than small tack welds. The collectors will need to come off later so filler patches can be installed.For cylinder No. 3, we started from the collector and worked up. Use your imagination to see what shapes you need to make based on the possibilities provided by the J-bends.With the two outboard stations of the collector filled, we move inboard. The remaining primary tubes will need to run over or under the existing tubes. Here, we're joining the bottom-right collector position to the No. 2 cylinder. A 70-degree transition was run from the collector upward. A 180-degree section of J-bend was then positioned loosely for marking and trimming.The cylinder No. 3 primary tube has been completed in this shot. Note that the 70-degree transition from the horizontal collector to the upward trajectory of the primary tube was made by placing a wedge-shaped slice of tube at the union. Tack these joints so they stay together as you work.
Tack-welded into position, the No. 2 primary tube is done, and we can move on. Note the front wheels were steered through their entire arc during construction to avoid unwanted contact.Here's a view of the upper shock absorber mount. The No. 1 primary tube runs right into it, so we must go up and over (as shown). Again, the versatility of the J-bends simplifies the task.Here, the No. 1 primary tube has been routed up over the shock mount, then rearward. It is merged into a section of the J-bend that's been cut at the correct angle to allow it to target the final opening in the collector (top-right position).Repeat the process on the driver side. Note that the stock Fox Mustang/Fairmont MacPherson strut front suspension has been replaced by a simple tube frame and straight axle to ease header packaging.It's alive! With the snaky fender-wall headers and Sean Hyland eight-stack ram tube EFI setup, the Fairmont's FRPP 4.6 Mach 1 Cammer crate engine (PN M6007M146) looks like a refugee from a vintage Funny Car . . . and that's the point!With the headers removed, finish welds are applied to each joint. Move the welder around a lot to minimize heat concentration, which can lead to flange distortion.We can now address the gaps in the port openings. A small pneumatic cutter slices the tube into sections for reworking.
Gaps are filled with weld and then smoothed with a grinder to ensure exhaust gases make an easy transition into each primary tube. A final bead of weld is applied to the outside of the flange to seal each primary tube and restore strength.Remember we said not to finish weld the collectors until last? That's so the space between the tubes can be plugged with a metal star (included with the collectors). Omit these plugs and massive exhaust leaks are guaranteed.With the stars in place, the collectors can be finish-welded onto the ends of the tubes. We added 21⁄2-inch branches that'll feed into the muffled system when we run on the street. Three-bolt collector flanges (PN SUM15300, $7.69 each, 3 inches; PN SUM15212, $6.39 each, 21⁄2 inches) receive collector caps and under-car head pipes, respectively. Note that the branch on the right has not been welded yet. Back in the '60s, we'd have applied high-temperature header paint to prevent rust. Today, we'll send 'em off to one of the big commercial coating houses for application of a ceramic thermal barrier, inside and out.

Is there a notion of algebraic geometry for these objects? If we take the dual category of the category of cocommutative corings with counit, is there geometry in it in a sense dual to affine schemes? Can we look at the set of coideals of a coring, put a space structure on it and sheaves (maybe cosheaves) of sections?
Let's consider coalgebras over a field rather than corings. There is a theorem that every (coassociative) coalgebra over a field is the union of its finite-dimensional subcoalgebras. So the category of coalgebras over a field k is the category of ind-objects in the category of finite-dimensional coalgebras, while the latter is the opposite category to the category of finite-dimensional algebras. Now if we restrict ourselves to the commutative case, then the category of finite-dimensional commutative algebras with unit over k is the opposite category to the category of 0-dimensional schemes of finite type over k, or just schemes finite over Spec k. Combining it all, the category of cocommutative coalgebras with counit over k is equivalent to the category of ind-0-dimensional ind-schemes of ind-finite type over k, or just ind-finite ind-schemes over Spec k. This explains, in particular, that the "underlying topological space" functor maps cocommutative coalgebras to discrete sets rather than anything else, and the coalgebra itself is simply the infinite direct sum of the coalgebras sitting at the points of this set.
I like to think of algebraic geometry as being born out of the fact that Ring behaves a lot like Setop. For instance, in Ring, A ∐ (B × C) = (A ∐ B) × (A ∐ C), where ∐ is the coproduct in Ring, which is just the tensor product. This formula is also true in Set after we swap ∐ and ×. This suggests that we can use our intuition about Set to think about Ring if we replace Ring by its opposite, the category of affine schemes.
Cocommutative corings with counit are monoid objects in the opposite category of (Ab, ⊗). However, to get the morphisms to point in the right direction, we need to take the opposite category again: so Coring is (CAlg((Ab, ⊗)op))op. It follows that products in Coring are computed by tensor products in Ab, and colimits are formed by taking colimits of underlying abelian groups; and in fact Coring is a closed cartesian category, even more like Set than Ringop is. In particular, we don't want to take the opposite category of Coring. Maybe this isn't surprising, since every set is already a cocommutative comonoid (w.r.t. ×) in a unique way, and we have a functor Set → Coring taking a set to the free abelian group on it.
These are purely formal observations, and I don't know whether anyone has built a more concrete geometric theory, with say a functor from Coring to some kind of topological spaces with extra structure.
One can do (relative) algebraic geometry with respect to any symmetric monoidal category, with affine schemes corresponding to the opposite category of (commutative) monoid objects. This viewpoint is developed in the paper Au-dessous de Spec Z (in French) by Toen and Vaquie. By taking the category of $\mathbb{Z}$--modules with tensor products over $\mathbb{Z}$ one recovers usual algebraic geometry.
For (cocommutative) corings, you just have to do the same in the opposite category $(\mathbb{Z}-Mod)^{op}$. The big question is: what do you take as your monoidal structure? If you just dualize diagrams, your new coproduct would be the old product, i.e. direct product of the underlying abelian groups. Or instead of this you take usual tensor products. Each of these approaches will produce a different geometry.
I remember a course given by Lieven Le Bruyn on Kontsevich-Soibelman (the noncommutative coalgebra thing) and he mentioning that by the "discrete" nature of coalgebras one could never expect them to describe anything but the etale topology of a scheme, which I think is precisely what Leonid observed in his answer.
Leonid speaks with great authority. I'd like to point out that you get a different answer in the category of graded coalgebras. If $A$ is a graded vector space, it has a graded dual $A'$ which is smaller than its full vector space dual $A^*$. Indeed, if the grading is locally finite, then this $A'$ has the same dimension sequence as $A$ and $A'' = A$. If $A$ is a locally finite, graded coalgebra, then its ring structure is given by an infinite sequence of finite tensors, and $A'$ is equivalently a graded algebra. Graded coalgebra homomorphisms also transpose to graded algebra homomorphisms. Recall that if $A'$ is also finitely generated (and scalar in degree $0$), then it corresponds to a projective variety with a choice of an ample line bundle. The morphisms between these are a perfectly good non-full subcategory of the projective schemes.
The full dual $A^*$ is also the graded completion of $A'$. So what Leonid is saying in this case is that if you take the graded completion of a finitely generated, graded algera, it localizes the projective variety to the apex of its affine cone. This is similar to what Leonid describes for $\text{Spec}(A^*)$ in general.
I said in a previous version of this answer that $\text{Spec}(A^*)$ atomizes the variety $\text{Proj}(A')$ to a "Cantor-set-like" structure. As Leonid points out in a comment, this is totally wrong in context. However, it is true that if $A$ is a finitely generated algebra, it has a completion $\hat{A}$ related to coalgebras such that $\text{Spec}(\hat{A})$ is an atomized form of $\text{Spec}(A)$. Namely, let $A'$ be the vector space of those dual vectors on $A$ that factor through finite-dimensional algebra quotients of $A$. Then $A'$ is a coalgebra, and $\hat{A} = (A')^*$ is an atomization in the sense that $\text{Spec}(\hat{A})$ is a 0-dimensional scheme whose points are the closed points of $\text{Spec}(A)$. (It isn't a Cantor set though.)

In This Article:
The vacuum, or vacuum extractor, was invented in the 1950s. It consists of a cup attached to a tube that connects to a suction pump. The cup, which can be hard or soft plastic or metal, is placed on top of the baby's head and held in place while the suction creates a vacuum that makes the cup adhere to the baby's scalp. The doctor pulls downward while you push during a contraction.
Vacuum births are known to be very safe as long as you are at least 34 weeks pregnant. Before this time your baby's head may be too fragile to deal with the suction and few doctors use a vacuum before 32 weeks.
The vacuum has some advantages over forceps; it is often a little easier to apply and may be less uncomfortable for you. It is also less likely to cause vaginal and perineal damage and you will be less likely to need an episiotomy. However, vacuum fails in up to 20 percent of cases, and it is especially likely to fail if your baby is not in the ideal position for the birth. Some doctors think it is also more likely to fail if your contractions are weak, if there is already a lot of natural swelling on your baby's head, or if you are too tired to push. If a vacuum does come off during the birth, it can be reapplied, or the doctor can reach for a pair of forceps instead. Sometimes, however, a cesarean section has to be performed if the vacuum fails.
It can be painful having an assisted vaginal birth, so it is important that you have sufficient pain relief to help you cope with the delivery. In some situations, an injection of a local anesthetic in and around the vagina is sufficient to help you deal with the pain, particularly if the doctor is anticipating the birth to be fairly quick, and if your baby has already traveled most of the way through your pelvis. For more difficult assisted births, for example where the baby is not in an occiput anterior position (see Posterior presentation), an epidural may be given (see Epidurals). This is especially useful if you're going to give birth in the operating room instead of the delivery room because forceps or vacuum have a high chance of failing, leading to the need for a cesarean. Finally, if you already have an epidural in place, this can be topped up with additional medication if necessary.
Assisting your baby's birth with vacuum or forceps is a safe, well practiced procedure, which can prevent the need for an emergency cesarean. Whether you have forceps or vacuum may depend on the particular expertise and experience of the doctor doing the procedure.

The need for sports officials is especially high at the amateur level.
One of the sports in the biggest need, especially at the high school level, is football.
The National Football League has recognized this problem and is again doing its part to raise awareness and bring new candidates into the realm of officiating.
It's doing it through its Football Officiating Academy and for the second straight year, the Ohio Valley will host the academy.
Last year, the NFL brought its program to East Liverpool and it was a rousing success with 32 graduates. Starting on June 4 and running each Tuesday through the end of July, St. Clairsville High School will host the Football Officiating Academy, which can host up to 100 people and is free of charge to attend.
"This is a program the NFL has had in place for about four years and we'd previously done in the New York area," said NFL Director of Officiating David Coleman said during a phone interview from his office in New York. "This is part of our grassroots outreach to identify and train young people who can become football officials at all levels of the game."
Those who attend and finish the academy will be certified to officiate football, but would still have to honor requirements put forth by both the Ohio High School Athletic Association and West Virginia Secondary Schools Activities Commission before working this fall. However, the official would receive everything he or she needs in terms of a uniform.
"We did really well in East Liverpool and we're looking for similar success in St. Clairsville," Coleman said. "The majority of those who finished last year are now doing youth or junior varsity football and there are actually a couple who are doing even better."
Coleman pointed out that one individual completed the class and is already working at the collegiate level and also a woman who is already officiating at the varsity high school level.
"Those are probably two of our biggest success stories, but we're proud to say the other 28 are doing well also," Coleman said. "Our hope is that all people who come through this academy will take full advantage of the mentorship process that's available."
Some of those who've finished the academy have also been hired for supplemental roles at NFL games at venues close to their home. Some of the New Yorkers have done different duties with the Jets and Giants, while some of the East Liverpool graduates have been afford opportunity to work at Steelers or Browns.
The clinic will run from 6-9 p.m. each week and will consist of a classroom setting of going over rules and then an on-field clinic and instruction. Things such as life skills, character building, mechanics, keys and on-field drills will be the focus. Specific situations for kicking and goal line placement will also be stressed.
"One of the other goals of these academies are to bring trained, tested and equipped officials to the area," Coleman said. "We hear all the time about the challenges in finding new talent, so this is a baseline roots of our development program."
The academy is aimed for beginners and while it's open to any age bracket, the target audience is between 17-27.
"We won't turn anyone away, but we've seen that those who want to start officiating and grow in it, the younger he or she starts, the better," Coleman said. "It takes probably about 10-15 years of growth and advancement to move up in the ranks."
Spearheading the academy is East Liverpool High School Assistant Principal Jay Kiger, who also works with the NFL in officiating. Coleman, who works clinics throughout the country, indicated he'll be in St. Clairsville at least two or three times during the academy's stay.
"Honestly, someone who starts officiating this year and if you look three years from now, there's an 11 percent chance of him or her still doing it," Coleman said. "The long-term opportunities in this are something we teach, along with the ability to stay connected to the game as well as preserving the integrity and safety of the game."

Is there a way to do túró (a Hungarian quark cheese/curd with a very specific taste) at home? I miss that specific taste and I've not found a cheese in Italy that approximate it (not even local quark cheese that is very different).
yes it is definitely a way because we are also doing at home. In my interpretation there are two kind of túró. One is created from milk, this one tastes sweet. The another is created from sheep cheese, and this one is a bit spicy. The second one is traditional food of székely's. In which one you are interrested?
Ok, here you go, I asked my girlfriend about how to do both:)
The sweet turó from cow milk(this one for túró rudi and for túrósgombóc).
2 Spicy Túró (for túróscsúsza)
For this one you have to get sheep cheese.
Hope you will make it very tasty:) Good luck.
There seem to be two schools of thought on making túró: one method just drains the whey from "slept milk" (aludttej), while another cooks the sour milk (on very low heat) first, then drains it. If you choose the cooked method, avoid stirring - you want to give the proteins a chance to coagulate.
In either case, the trick tends to be finding milk that will sleep properly, rather than becoming bitter unpalatable crud. If you can't find raw milk, or at least non-homogenized (but pasteurized) milk, you can try helping things along with an inoculation of yogurt/buttermilk, or a little bit of lemon juice/vinegar.
You can make túró with whatever fat-content you like: skim milk will curdle just as well as whole milk. In fact, most recipes call for removing the cream from the top of the aludttej before proceeding to the cooking/draining.
(I hear you about the so-called local equivalent -- "quark cheese", "cottage cheese" -- being nothing at all like the real thing. I don't know about Italy, but the closest I've found to túró here on the east coast of the US is actually something called "farmer's cheese". Unfortunately, it's a pretty localized thing - I never even heard of it while growing up in California.)

One of the people I follow on twitter sometimes ends his sentences in ぞと. Is this just a more polite form of ぞ?
Here's an example:
ブログUPしましたぞと♪(´ε` )
So your example roughly means, "There, I've posted a new blog article." And no, it doesn't add any politeness to the sentence.
The same
The preceding sentence is usually in volitional form, like
Note: depending on the context, there are cases that ぞと should be parsed as 「...ぞ」と, as explained in istrasci's answer.
The only thing I can think of (without any context provided) is that this would be used when quoting what someone else said. Like:
I would split the example sentence into two parts:
Unfortunately, I cannot explain how the と affects the other part well, but as far as I can say as a Japanese, the と is a kind of like an interjection and its effect is vanishingly small, at least not making the sentence more polite.
FYI, Reno, a Final Fantasy 7 character, often ends his words with

I have an SDET interview upcoming in a week. I have been preparing for a long time. It is a good company. I am working as SDET for two years. I wonder what questions I should ask my interviewer regarding testing and other things.
I would appreciate your help if you give me some sample questions that I should ask my interviewer during the interview. Some of them I thought are:
- What type of testing methodologies do you use?
- Do you have triage meeting everyday?
- What percentage of code coverage is done by unit tests?
I do not find these questions to be more effective. I would appreciate if somebody could help me out in coming out with better questions.

I'm confused about the different uses of esc_html() and wp_kses(). I understand that esc_html() converts special characters to their HTML entity, and that wp_kses() removes unwanted tags (e.g., <script>), but I'm not sure in what contexts they should be used together or separately.
Basically, esc_html() makes it safe, and wp_kses() makes it pretty. Is that correct?

I need a bunch of diamonds to make a mod, and the only way I know of is to turn in champagne as exchange, but so far I've only found one bottle (I forgot where). Where can I get more champagne and diamonds?
The fridges in the Hotel was where I found the most. I think I got about half a dozen bottles of champagne from there the first time I went through.
The best way to get champagne is to fast travel between the Abandoned House and the Laboratory, checking the fridges at each location every time.
You can find about 3-7 Bottles of Champagne in the Supermarket in the City Of Moresby, remember the path when you visit(-ed?) it. make multiple runs as needed.
With the kitchen (if you have the patience), you can run back and forth to the security room and the fridges will respawn, although this doesn't happen every time.
To me it was worth it. Just remember that you will not be able to come back and with a chance to get anywhere between 6-12 champagne bottles each go.
When I did the kitchen I found 1 or 2 champagne bottles in the first room, then when you get close to that dead body with his arm cut off next too a extra snack, the guy says there's a mob of them in there... I went in there and got like 8 9 more champagne bottles.


text: Being the living incarnation of two thousand years of religious tradition has got to be rough on a guy. Popes of the modern era have been burdened with the additional task of traveling to tend to the flock, heading out from the confines of the Vatican City to exotic places like Venezuela, Africa and Hamtramck. Look it up. Anyway, the task would be insurmountable if not for Poppa's trusty and reliable sidekick, the Popemobile. Serving duly as a perch from whence to greet the masses — and as protection from said masses for the Holy See, the Popemobile has gone through many iterations, some of which you'll have a hard time believing.Popemobiles come in two varieties. The locally made, customized versions, often hewn from the host nation's finest home-grown automobile and turned into a rolling vista fit for a king — or at least the head of a sovereign nation. Then there are the official Popemobiles, now the only kind after the attempt on John Paul II's life in 1981. Some are made for daily open-air service in St. Peter's Square and others are bullet-proof Popequariums which travel with the high pontiff to locations far and wide.

I have over 1500 posts I imported from Tumblr. While the images were imported into the gallery, I need to make sure there's a featured image for each. How do I make the images (12 per post minus 30 that don't have images) a featured image automatically?
You can run a script that will programmatically set the featured image for each post. You can use the first attached image for this. To get the attached images run a query for the posts and loop through each one and use get_children() setting the post_parent to the current post id in your loop.
You would need to put this code somewhere it can get executed like a custom page template that you would load only one time to set the featured images.
You could also use a plugin I wrote that will do this via an admin tools page via ajax. http://wordpress.org/extend/plugins/media-tools/

We've been making this dough for a while now and it comes out very well. It doesn't require much work, and can be easily done on a food processor if you find it faster.
Gluten-Free Zucchini Pie from Julia and Julieta on Vimeo.
Gluten free savory pie dough:
(these proportions will make 2 discs -you'll see that in the video we only did half, and use cheese instead of a dough top to cover it)
- 2 cups of gluten-free flour mix
- 1 teaspoon xantan ghum
- 1 teaspoon baking powder
- 1/4 cup vegetable oil
- 1/2 cup boiling water
- salt and pepper
- zucchinis: depending on their size, approximately 4 to 6 zucchinis for a regular sized pie
- 1 onion or a bunch of green onions
- 1 or 2 shallots
- 2 eggs
- mozzarella cheese
- half cup Greek yogurt
- Salt and pepper
- It's better to steam the zucchinis rather than boiling them, as they tend to produce a lot of water and the dough can get soggy.
- If you can, try to take the pie out of the pan right after you take it out of the oven and place it on a wooden tray. It will prevent the dough from getting soggy and it really makes a difference! (But only try it if you have pie pans with removable bottom)
- If you want a richer pie, replace the Greek yogurt with heavy cream or cream cheese.

Second Amendment opponents offer puzzling arguments
As I read the banter among the pro- and anti-Second Amendment people, I get a good chuckle every morning. The anti's want to trust state and national politicians to tinker with the Second Amendment. These people can't even fulfill their most basic obligation: passing and maintaining a balanced budget. One can argue that current and past politicians are at fault for some of the gun violence. Mental-health spending has been cut at the state and federal levels. Past politicians in Connecticut closed mental hospitals.
Some of the anti's have said the Second Amendment initially was for the militia and its muskets. Well, maybe that's true. But let me clue them in on something. Since our rights were written, passed and fought for centuries ago, our court systems have ruled on cases I'm sure our forefathers never imagined. For example, I'm sure our forefathers did not have Facebook and other social media in mind when they talked about freedom of speech. I'm sure GPS tracking by the police without a warrant never crossed their minds when they talked about unlawful seizure. I wonder if the Founders foresaw the hateful Westboro Baptist Church gathering and protesting at military and slaughtered children's funerals and thought, yeah that's OK; they have the right to do that. As our country grew and developed, our rights have taken on new meanings.

" @Dufresne; our Founding Fathers came from a different country and proceeded to take the land away from people who had already been living here for who knows how long, killed them and you say they couldn't foresee anything bad happening, really I think they invented a lot of bad. How about going to Africa and bringing over slaves to do their labor on their plantations, beating them into submission raping their women, yeah they were really quite an innocent bunch of fellows. As far as a balanced budget, the last time we had a balance and a surplus was under President Clinton. So you're zero for zero. "

These tires are the worst ever. Under steer really bad. Very loud. Scary in rain. Only 6000 miles on tires plenty of tread proper psi. These just suck. Town fair tire is in bed with Toyo so it's their house brand they push on dumb and cheap people who don't have the cash or brains to buy Continental or Michelin. I just bought a set of Continental Purecontacts with Eco plus tech and it feels like I'm driving a a different car. And I'm being very generous in rating this piece of garbage of a tire a 1.

Can you give me some tips how I can start learning Spanish ? A way where I don't have to drill vocabularies and grammar.
When I learned languages at school I was always able to read and write, but the important things of a language: the speaking and understanding wasn't that well developed.
So this time I want to learn Spanish in a way, that will develop the important skills of languages. And in an easy way, that isn't boring and makes fun.
I want to be able to speak and understand (listening).
Do you have some tips how I can start learning ?
How were your experiences with learning foreign languages and how did it work best for you ?

5 Mundane Things That Caused Earth-Shattering Destruction
Hurricanes, tornadoes, avalanches, Johnny Cash -- all well-known sources of disaster. The damage they cause is tragic, but at least they come from an understandable place. You can see the storm clouds brewing, or that the whiskey bottle is 3/4 empty. You have advance notice that something bad is coming your way. But much like your significant other, sometimes there is just no predicting what will set off a monumental disaster.*
*We may have just accidentally called your significant other a monumental disaster, and for that we apologize.
(Cracked's Antiheroes series shows you just how bad superpowers would be in real life.)
#5. Screw Up Your Golf Swing, Start a Raging Wildfire
On the great list of destructive sports, golf seems like it would rank pretty low. Hockey games will get you punched in the mouth. Soccer matches might cause riots. Baseball fields ... explode, maybe? But what's the worst thing to come out of a golf game? Plaid slacks and a bad business deal?
Kriss Russell/iStock/Getty Images
Hint: It wasn't Gary's "hot new IP" that would melt his golf cart.
One anonymous golfer was playing a round at the Shady Canyon Golf Course in Irvine, California. He had a particularly rough slice, and the ball landed near some rocks. Now, Anonymous Golfer (we'll call him Aggie, for short) was an upstanding gentleman: He wasn't taking a mulligan. He was going to play it as it lays.
Aggie took his swing, his club scraped against one of the rocks, and together they produced a tiny spark. That should have been the end of it. But alas, Aggie was using a titanium club. Titanium clubs are fantastic for playing both golf and Thor: They're made of a strong, lightweight metal ... with a tendency to cause 3,000-degree sparks that stay active for a full second.
ivansmuk/iStock/Getty Images
The designer was eager to fulfill demands to "make golf less boring."
The super-spark landed in the grass, which burst into flames. "It's OK," Aggie surely thought, "it's just some grass."
Then it spread to the bushes.
"Only a few bushes, surely somebody will get a fire extinguisher out here and everything will be fine," Aggie rationalized.
Cut to a few minutes later and ...
Shady Canyon Golf Club
"Play through?"
By noon, the fire had spread to over 12 acres. Luckily, nobody was hurt, but it took over 200 firefighters just to control the damage from one errant swing. Look, we're no golf experts over here, but we feel fairly confident in saying this: Aggie, whoever you are, you have played the worst hole of golf in all of human history, spanning back to the birth of mankind and forward to its demise.
You mark that shit at least a double bogey.
#4. Misplace Some Paperwork, Cause an Oil Rig Explosion
It was 1988, and the Piper Alpha platform off the coast of Scotland was chugging out over 100,000 barrels of oil a day. The platform was getting a little old and needed some work, but like a pornographic Energizer Bunny, it just kept right on pumping and pumping.
via IADC.org
Lubrication was not an issue.
Maintenance was being performed on Condensate Pump A. The pump needed repairs, and the safety valve had been taken off (the safety valve being the thing that ensures giant explosions do not occur; that's some subtle foreshadowing right there). The workers needed to turn in for the night, so an engineer filled out a form explaining that the valve was off, and under no circumstances should gas be pumped until it was fixed.
But the night custodian was busy (which, because we've known a few night custodians in our day, we presume was a euphemism for "furiously masturbating"). So the engineer simply left the form on a desk and headed home. The next shift arrived, rolled their eyes at the strangely flustered night custodian who tried to explain that he was "just doing a bunch of jumping jacks when his pants fell down," and then got to work pumping gas. With no safety valve.
via Exponent.com
Attempts to pretend nothing had gone wrong proved unsuccessful.
It's the setup for a few dozen episodes of The Office: Somebody hilariously misfiled some paperwork, and now corporate is coming down to audit! Only in this case, one misplaced form caused billions of dollars of damage and killed 167 workers on board.
So the moral here is: You get your god damn TPS reports in on time, buddy.
#3. Perfume Bottles Sparkle in the Sunlight, Set House on Fire
Last August, a mother and six children were enjoying the eight seconds of sunshine that appear in the British Isles every year when light beaming in a main floor window refracted through a few perfume bottles sitting on the windowsill. The light hit the glass bottles in such a way that the rays focused into a heat beam strong enough to ignite a fire that set the entire first floor ablaze.
London Fire Brigade
We should note that the house contained a shrine to Bolag, the demon god.
Feel free to bookmark this article for the next time your wife, mother, or strangely familiar co-worker asks for perfume on their birthday. You will be entirely justified in slapping that bottle out of their hands and screaming, "My God! Are you trying to kill us all?"
It's not just perfume, however -- sinister sunlight will use any means possible to murder us in our homes. Dog bowls, crystal balls, and even our benignly nerdy friend the telescope have all started house fires.
Purestock/Purestock/Getty Images
So never combine a dog bowl, a crystal ball, and a telescope (unless, again, your demon shrine needs them).
Here's some security footage of a liquor store display seemingly spontaneously bursting into flames after vodka bottles focused sunlight on the cardboard stand. The location of that liquor store? Burnsville, Minnesota.
Nothing is an accident. The sun is in on it. This article posts at 5 a.m. -- warn your family before dayli-

General Discussion
Primary lateral sclerosis (PLS) is a rare, neuromuscular disorder that affects the central motor neurons and is characterized by painless but progressive weakness and stiffness of the muscles of the legs. Such weakness may progress to affect the arms and the muscles at the base of the brain (bulbar muscles). Less frequently, the muscles of the face are affected. In most cases, the disorder affects adults during midlife. The exact cause of primary lateral sclerosis is unknown.

[PR3] Toolbar title position broken when spacers control button positioning
As per the kitchensink example, spacers control the positioning of buttons on a toolbar. In 1.1.1, the following code produces a button in the upper left, the title text centered, and a button in the upper-right:
{ xtype:'toolbar', docked:'top', title:'Title', items:[ { ui:'action', text:'Left' }, { xtype:'spacer' }, { ui:'action', text:'Right', } ] }
Positioning of title text works correctly when only one button is used without a spacer; the button appears in the upper left and the title is centered as expected. I tried using {html:'Title'}, as a workaround between a set of spacers, but it seems that any text in between spacers throws all positioning off.

ISTANBUL, Turkey (CNN) -- A year ago, Ibrahim Qobani was an idealistic 19-year-old revolutionary who sang about freedom.
Always dressed in a scarf and fingerless gloves woven with the colors of the Syrian rebel flag, Qobani worked with a team of pro-democracy activists in Syria's northern Idlib province. He would sing from the rooftops during boisterous anti-government protests, complete with humorous animations that begged the international community to help stop Syrian government atrocities.
But today, Qobani appears much different in a series of YouTube videos.
Gone is the scarf with colors of the rebel flag. Instead of leading the chants, the young man stands in the crowd smiling as one man sings, "We destroyed America with a civilian plane, turned the World Trade Center into a pile of dirt. If you call me a terrorist, I say it's an honor."
In another video, Qobani stands cheering with a crowd of bearded men as a little boy sings, "Our commander is Bin Laden. He showed the Americans the strength of our faith." A man gives the boy a knife, which he proceeds to slice through the air as he sings, "Our police is Nusra. Just wait Alawites. We will come to slaughter you."
It was a chilling warning to the minority religious sect of Syrian President Bashar al-Assad, who has stacked the top ranks of his security forces with fellow Alawites. Qobani declined several requests to speak with CNN. Several of his friends, however, confirmed that he is now a member of Jabhat al-Nusra, or the Nusra Front, the most famous of the hard-line Islamist rebel groups now fighting against the Syrian regime.
Qobani's ideological evolution is symbolic of a broader shift that many Syrians say they're seeing nearly two years after the anti-government uprising began.
"There is an increasing militarization and now increased radicalization of the revolution," said Rafif Jouejati. She is the English spokeswoman for the Local Coordination Committees in Syria, one of the first groups to organize peaceful anti-government protests in the spring of 2011.
"Jabhat al-Nusra continues to make gains," Jouejati said. "They continue to increase in popularity, particularly as they begin to implement social services."
In the last year, the Nusra Front has grown from a shadowy group claiming responsibility for deadly car bombs to what Syrians describe as a highly disciplined fighting force that continues to attract recruits from the more secular Free Syrian Army rebels.
Nusra Front fighters are said to be leading the ongoing siege of the Khweiris military airbase in Aleppo province. They are also credited with helping lead the capture of the Taftanaz helicopter airbase in Idlib province last month.
The high-profile Islamist victories on the battlefield have been accompanied by another trend. Gradually, black Islamist banners have replaced the distinctive green, black, white and red flags of the Syrian rebels at weekly anti-government protests.
"After two years of killings and butchering and the entire world standing by and watching us, now we depend on God only. So we started raising the banner of Shahada, the black banner of war," explained a Syrian activist who has spent much of the last two years organizing anti-government protests in Idlib province.
The Shahada refers to the Islamic creed "There is no god but God, Mohammed is the messenger of God." It is one of the most important pillars of Islam. It is also invoked for martyrdom on the battlefield.
After two years of killings and butchering and the entire world standing by and watching us, now we depend on God only.
Syrian activist
The rapid rise of hard-line Sunni Muslim groups like the Nusra Front -- some of which have seen their ranks swelled by foreign jihadi fighters -- is a trend that makes Jouejati and other more secular revolutionaries deeply uncomfortable.
It is also making Washington uneasy. In December, the U.S. government blacklisted the Nusra Front, labeling it a terrorist organization.
"We blacklisted the Nusra Front because of its intimate links with al Qaeda in Iraq ... which is responsible for the killing of thousands of Iraqis and hundreds of Americans," said Robert Ford, the U.S. ambassador to Syria, in an interview with CNN last month. "We know what al Qaeda in Iraq did and is still doing, and we don't want it to start doing that in Syria."
But some Syrian opposition leaders blame Western inaction for the recent growth of the Islamist groups.
"The U.S. and the European Union didn't help us, and that created an increase in Islamic radicalism here," said Marwan Gayed in an interview in Aleppo last month. Gayed was a judge who defected from the Syrian government and helped launch the United Courts Council, an opposition-run court that is trying to institute law and order in rebel-controlled parts of Aleppo.
Like many in the opposition, Gayed has viewed Islamist groups like Nusra as uneasy partners in the campaign to overthrow the al-Assad regime.

Is Your Family Ready for a Dog?
6 of 11
Do you have the space?
Make sure you take into account the size of the dog you're considering, in relation to the size of your living quarters. If you've always wanted a Great Dane, but live in a studio apartment in the city, you might run into some issues. Be sure to research any potential breed to get an idea of the dog's energy level and the amount of exercise he might need. Some breeds are okay lounging around for most of the day, but others need space to run. If a dog has pent-up energy, he may take his frustration out by barking, digging, or chewing. And this will most certainly lead to frustration on your part.
Don't rule out any breed until you've done your research, and try to find one that will mesh well with your everyday living style. If you do end up getting an energetic dog, be prepared to take it for lots of walks, or make sure you have a fenced in area where it can run.

How to Fix a Broken Border: A Three Part Series
In this three part series, former Arizona Attorney General Terry Goddard assesses current threats to our border security and calls for a coordinated, multi-dimensional, bi-national approach to cracking down on cartels. Goddard's suggestions for federal action include targeting cartel money, closing money-laundering loopholes, pursuing cartel leaders, and focusing border security on ports of entry.
Download the Executive Summary
PART I: How to Fix a Broken Border: Hit the Cartels Where It Hurts
By Terry Goddard (Released September 2011)
Former Arizona Attorney General Terry Goddard argues that "much of the 'secure the border' debate is nonsense. Again and again, symbols trump reality, misinformation buries the truth. Programs like building a bigger border wall or enlisting police in the local enforcement of immigration laws are sold as ways to make the border more secure. They will not." According to Goddard, our border-enforcement resources should be deployed not against unauthorized immigrants, but against the criminal cartels in Mexico that control the smuggling of people, drugs, guns, and money across the border. "A more effective border strategy starts with the…torrent of cash pouring across the border into the cartel pocketbooks. So, go after the money. Taking away the profit cripples the organization. Conversely, as long as the money from drug sales and human smuggling—which may total more than $40 billion a year—flows to the cartels, the violence in Mexico, the sophisticated smugglers crossing our border, and the perception that nothing is being done to defend the border will continue."
PART II: How to Fix a Broken Border: Disrupting Smuggling at Its Source
By Terry Goddard (Released February 2012)
Based on his experience as a prosecutor in Arizona, Terry Goddard shines a much needed light on the nature of modern-day smuggling in part two of his border series. "If this country wants to stop smuggling and not just present an obstacle to immigration reform," Goddard says, "we must take a broader and more analytical approach to what motivates the smugglers—and the means by which they illegally move drugs, money, guns, and people in such large volumes with such impunity. Going after the contraband product or smuggled people, as this country has been doing for years, is destined to be an endless chase. The cartels will just regroup and continue operations, learning from their mistakes. If we are serious about stopping the threat on the border, we have to dismantle the criminal organizations that carry the contraband and take away the tools that make them so effective. Anything less will fail."
PART III: How To Fix a Broken Border: Follow the Money
By Terry Goddard (Released May 2012)
In his third and final border piece, Terry Goddard calls on the federal government to take action against Mexico's drug cartels by cutting off their funds. Using his experience fighting cartels in Arizona as an example, Goddard argues that "the next step must be national. Using the same leads Arizona derived from wire-transfer data, federal authorities are in an ideal position to coordinate among the states and with Mexican law enforcement to close down the criminal exploitation of the wire-transfer system." But despite awareness about the money-laundering loopholes, Goddard says the government has not addressed the problem as they should. "Huge amounts of funds flowing illegally out of this country could be stopped," he said,"if financial institutions and government agencies focused on the problem."

I stumbled upon a problem that seems simple but I cannot tackle it. Let $X_n$ be a discrete process defined by the following algorithm.
Choose $X_0\in[0,1]$, set $\kappa>0$ small enough and
with $I_n=1$ with probability $X_n$ and $I_n=0$ with probability $1-X_n$.
In other words the $X_n$ decreases with probability $1-X_n$ by $\kappa X_n$ and increases with probability $X_n$ by $\kappa(I_n-X_n)$ so $E[X_{n+1}]=X_n$.
The point is that $\kappa$ can be arbitrarily small so we can take its limit to $0$ while decreasing linearly the time step. This naturally should give an SDE (in this case I would expect it to be non-linear). So my question is how can one find this SDE or the PDE that gives the probability density.
I should add that for short times it looks like a random walk (which is expected I guess) with the variance being proportional to $\kappa t X_0(1-X_0)$, with $t$ small. However since $X_n\in[0,1]$, $1$ is an upper bound for the variance.
Edit: It is not $\kappa t X_0(1-X_0)$, it is $\kappa^2 t^2 X_0(1-X_0)$

As with all mythical creatures there are a lot of different interpretations about what griffins look like, this is mine.

I have been looking around for relevant project management software in regards to this, but it is pretty much impossible to find, at the fault of how meta searchs of google work. When I search a phrase like "Project Management for Software Development", it only shows information on "Project Management Software". Mostly just All around Project Management software.
I have tried a couple different types of software, but none seemed to be useful for these type of projects. I have used: collabtive, Microsoft Project, and even Basecamp. none of which seemed to fit the bill.
The best I have come across is Atlassian JIRA, and the plugin project manager. It is nice, but I dont really have a server that can handle it that great at the moment. 2-4gb of ram is pretty expensive.
Are there any other Server, or Desktop Software based Project Management Programs that are either; directed at software developers, or would at least be really useful for a software developer, but not necessarily directed at being for that use.
What are your guys thoughts on this? Does anyone here know of such programs? I am sick of filling my office with sticky notes..

frontier restaurant
You know how sometimes a local restaurant or watering hole will be popular but still not very good? Locals flock there because they always have, even when the food or drink doesn't warrant the attention. I was curious whether this was true about Frontier Restaurant. It's location across from UNM's main campus also gave me pause because, well, students will eat most anything if it's reasonably priced and convenient.
But, no! The food is actually tasty! Check out what our late-night group feasted upon:

Not too long ago, Apple Computer used the phrase "Think Different" as an ad slogan. Is this a grammatical error (that is, it should be "Think Differently"), or are they trying to say something else (and what would it be)?
Sign up

Merriam-Webster claim that different as an adverb dates at least as far back as 1744.
Everyone's assuming that this is "think differently" with the -ly dropped off, but note that there are also formations like think fruit or think pink, and "think different" could belong to that group. In other words "What should I think about this product?" "Think (that it is) different".
Anyway, "think differently" is a terrible slogan.
Well, it's certainly not the first time an adjective is used as an adverb in American English. I'd call it informal, but not necessarily ungrammatical.
One possibility we're forgetting here is the that the adjective may be a substantive adjective. Substantive adjectives are adjectives which are used alone without the noun they are describing. For example, good, bad, and ugly in this sentence, 'The good, the bad, and the ugly, which is really, 'The good people, the bad people, and the ugly people.'
In this case, Apple's slogan, 'Think different', would be read 'Think different things', and is thus a perfectly grammatical.
Apple did not mean "think differently". That is, they are not suggesting that you think in a different way. They really meant "think different", that is, rather than thinking about the things you usually think about, think about things that are different.
An analogous slogan might be, "Thinking about your opportunities as a high school graduate? Think college."
"Think differently" would mean: Please think in a way that is different from the way that other people are thinking. "Think different" means: Think about things that are different, or how to do things that are different. The slogan doesn't tell you how to think, but what to think.
Yes, it is a grammatical error, but you can bet your bottom dollar that the copywriter, ad agency, and Apple all knew it and liked it. Toying with grammar is, after all, a way to think different. Ly.
As to your alternative, whether they're trying to say something else, I think you're correct there, too. What they're trying to say is "buy our stuff, not Microsoft's and Dell's." The grand irony is, of course, that following mass advertising is hardly being different, no matter how you spell it, but I'm typing this on a MacBook and my iPhone is plugged in next to it, so you'll find no judgment from me.
If the message is taken to mean:
Think "different".
Then it could be grammatically incorrect. Just not sure I can say this is "punctuationally" correct, but from a logo/branding/marketing point of view the use of punctuation may take something away from the impact of the message even if making the intention of the message unclear.

This question has been asked before and already has an answer. If those answers do not fully address your question, please ask a new question.
First, I'm assuming by "pesto" you mean "Pesto alla Genovese", given your question about pine nuts. Basil, pine nuts, garlic, olive oil, and cheese is a delicious combination, but it's only one of many "pestos" (peste, actually), since pesto refers in general to any sauce which is made from crushed or pureed ingredients. Mix and match to your heart's content.
Walnuts are actually a traditional alternative to pine nuts for Pesto alla Genovese; pine nuts have always been scarce, even in early-20th-century Italy. As a caution, though, you need to get good, fresh walnuts and make sure to get all of the skin off the nuts, or the pesto will taste bitter and rancid.
Almonds could also work, although I'd think they'd be rather bland. The herb pastes which traditionally have crushed almonds -- such as Romanesco sauce -- include some hot pepper. Again, freshness and getting the skin off is important.
I'd think sunflower seeds would be kind of odd and oily, but you don't know until you try. If you do, post a comment to let us know!
Of course they would be appropriate, the taste wouldn't be the same though.
Have done a bit of experimenting with pesto. Have used pistachios instead of pine nuts. Parsley instead of basil is good too. Expect that many of the green fresh herbs would make interesting pesto.
From Wikipedia:
I vary the proportions of herb/olive oil/garlic/nuts to taste as I make it. Fun to mess around with when the new herbs are in.
Have always wanted to make pesto with tarragon, haven't though.
Have fun.
To my personal taste, you could even go without nuts completely and still have a great sauce.
Walnuts and almonds are absolutely ok: there are many forms of pesto (the most famous being of course the Genovese), and they employ a variety of herbs and nuts.
Pesto alla trapanese (named after the city of Trapani, in Sicily), for instance, uses almonds and includes tomatoes. Pesto alle noci (noci means walnuts), another great sauce, is made with walnuts and celery. A quick check on google tells me that pesto with sunflower seeds or pumpkin seeds is not unheard of, lots of recipes are available. Others I know of: pesto with arugula, pesto with green beans and potatoes and probably many other obscure variants.
Another option, but it depends greatly on your physical location, is to just collect pinecones by yourself - time consuming, but could make for a nice sunday activity (it certainly did for me when I was a kid)
this question has also been asked here Pesto, pine nut substitute although with a different focus (his problem is not money but allergy).
Walnuts would probably taste good, but it is not Pesto alla Genovese if there are no pine nuts.
Cashews are the simplest replacement, many people don't even notice the difference
Commercially Cashews are used in many packaged products sold as Pesto or Pesto + something (roasted peppers, olives, sun-dried tomatoes etc.). It is usually a filler to make up for a low pine nut percentage
For home made pesto it is a bit more obvious unless your really processes it down to a smooth paste. I personally like my pesto very chunky so don't like using cashews
by all means use walnuts in pesto sauce. As earlier posts have recommended, choose walnuts that are fresh, in other words, very pale in colour. Darker walnuts are bitter. If you can shell them, so much the better. I also use lemon juice in my pesto. And use a hand blender so that the sauce is grainy rather than pureed. Walnuts are great in any sauce, try roasted egg-plant, tomato paste, garlic and walnuts, all blended. Mmmm.
I use almonds frequently as my husband detests the taste of pine nuts (and can detect them in things at 40 paces). I prefer to use raw ones; make sure to blanch them so you don't have the skins in there. While Walnuts are common, they have a stronger flavor. I've converted several friends to "almond pesto".
There are many Pesto variants out there. It's basically a matter of taste. See, for example, recipe and suggested variations here:

I live in the UK and cycle to and from work. I recently noticed that the back brake on the bike is not functioning. Is it legal for me to be cycling on the road (the front brake works fine but it is a bit difficult to stop at, for example, pedestrian crossings)
Sign up

In England and Wales, the relevant legislation is the Pedal Cycles (Construction and Use) Regulations 1983 which say:
(I've elided a bunch of exceptions that apply to tricycles, quadricycles, etc.)
So for an ordinary bicycle with a freewheel, it would be a criminal offence to ride it on a road unless you have two braking systems in efficient working order. (See Road Traffic Act 1988 §41A.) But as Stephen Touset says, it would be unheard of for police to check your brakes unless you were involved in a crash.
You say,
The front brake should be easily sufficient on its own to stop quickly, so it sounds as if your front brake needs adjusting too. For your own safety and the safety of other road users, get your brakes fixed! There are lots of instructional videos out there, or your local bike shop will be happy to do it for you.
Just to note something from another country, in France you must have two brakes:
(From the road code, art. R315-3, "All bicycles must have two functioning brakes.")
If you don't have two brakes, you can be fined €11, although usually cops don't care about bikes as long as you're not drunk-riding.
No answer for the original poster, but maybe interesting for readers in Germany:
You must have at least one braking system working to be legal. Coaster bikes only have a rear brake anyway. But what conerns me is your statement that the front brake is working fine, yet you find it difficult to stop at a pedestrian crosing. If the front brake ( the most efficeient brake in most two wheel brake systems due to ther being relatively little weight on the rear wheel ), is working fine, then you should be able to stop very efficiently. You should have to be wary of getting tossed over the handle bars! Therefore, I'd suggest taking time to either replace the brake pads or adjust the system if you're having difficulty stopping. You may save your own skin or that of a pedestrian in a cross walk. Check the wheels and the brake pads to get them both working efficiently. Bicycling is inherently dangerous in some areas anyway, so you must be able to protect yourself and others from getting injured.
Minnesota (USA) law:
Minnesota Statutes 169,222(b)
This, technically, may disqualify front brakes on standard bikes, since on dry pavement the bike will probably flip before the wheel skids.

I know a polygon can be well defined by specifying its edge length. By well defined, I mean the polygon can be unambiguously determined. Loosely speaking, if there are $n$ vertices, $2n-3$ critical edges can define an unambiguous polygon in 2D (rigid body).
My question is: Is it possible to define a polygon by specifying the angles between the edges so that the graph can only be determined up to a scale?
Upper left figure: For a triangle , three properly interior angles can determine the graph up to a scale. Upper right figure: But for quadrangles, the same angles may lead to non-similar quadrangles. Lower figure: However, if I introduce two bisections and specify the eight interior angles, it seems the angles can determine the shape.
Can any one recommend a book or something on this topic?

I ask questions like "What program should I use to do ..." or "How to do ...", often keeping in mind that I can (and going to) write it myself if there is no such program.
Then I or someone proposes a script (with further discussions about that script), someone another proposes modified script and so on.
The question is definitely morphed from SU to SO one.
Also (after discussion of all that scripts) someone posts the answer like "Just use program xxx" which solves the problem without all that hacky scripts, so the question is in SU domain again.
What should I do? Should I try to migrate question to SO when it gets in it's domain (and back to SU when it exits the domain)? Should I ask questions SO right away if I'm going to implement it in case of non-answer?
