Nixon Sentry Leather Watch - Silver/White
Nixon Corporal Watch - Blue Ano
The world is filled with creativity. New companies are being created daily that offer quality, value and service to the global market. It's not easy to carve out a niche and develop products that are unique as well as functional. After more than ten years Nixon is still moving forward creating new watch designs that fill a need for active consumers. Nixon focuses on the little things when it comes to watch design and details. Nixon design watches to be worn in water; a lot of water. Some models are water resistant down to 300 meters and have other features like a hardened full view mineral crystal, stainless steel cases and rotating bezels. The internal movement of Nixon watches can be 2, 3 or 6 hand Japanese Quartz and some models have custom talking alarm voices like Tony Hawk, Saxon Boucher as well as other celebrities. Some models have 3 hand Swiss movements with an easy to read tide sub dial. Nixon band materials vary from custom stainless steel to distressed leather. An Injected polyurethane band with a patented locking looper is a popular feature on the 51-30 PU model. Other models have double locking clasps or a stainless steel single tongue buckle.

Hairballs: 8 Ways to Lick the Problem
PetSmart PetSmart
Few creatures are as fastidious as felines. They can spend hours licking their coats, and when they've covered every inch, they'll happily start again. They don't seem to mind swallowing a little hair -- it's all part of good grooming.
Sometimes, however, fur that should pass right through the digestive system gets trapped in the stomach. As more and more hair arrives, it begins forming an uncomfortable wad. That's when your pet starts gagging, hacking and trying to vomit it up.
While his retching may look wretched, hairballs are rarely a serious problem. "Most cats get hairballs at some point in their lives, and everything usually comes out fine," says Charles W. Hickey, D.V.M., a veterinarian in private practice in Richmond, Virginia. Try these tips to help make the process a little easier.
Try a tasty alternative.
Some hairball lubricants are downright delicious to cats. There are several delectable kinds available, like Laxatone and Petromalt. "I had a cat that loved his hairball remedy so much that he was always looking around the house for it," says Dr. Hickey.
Fix it with fiber.
"Sometimes a higher-fiber pet food is all it takes to accelerate the passage of a hairball," says Martin J. Fettman, D.V.M., Ph.D., professor of pathology and clinical nutrition at the Colorado State University College of Veterinary Medicine and Biomedical Sciences in Fort Collins. When shopping for a high-fiber food, look for one containing 3.5 to 10 percent fiber. The fiber percentage is listed on the label.
Foil his fleas.
"If your cat is infested, he could be grooming himself more than usual and consequently swallowing more hair," says Dr. Hickey. "If you have a tried-and-true flea-busting method, use it, and your cat's hair-ball problems should improve," he says.
Coif your kitty.
"Combing and brushing your cat's fur every day can do wonders for hairball prevention," says Gary Beard, D.V.M., assistant dean at the Auburn University College of Veterinary Medicine in Alabama. "Cats can shed hundreds of hairs a day, especially in spring and summer. If you brush these hairs away, your cat's not going to be swallowing so many," he says.
Then wipe him down.
"After grooming your cat, use a moist washcloth to remove loose hairs your comb or brush might have missed," advises Dr. Dalley.
Take his mind off his fur.
"Some cats have personalities that make them compulsive lickers -- they can't get enough of grooming themselves," says Dr. Fettman. "Overgrooming can also be a response to stress." To give your cat a much-needed distraction, he recommends playing with him more often. If you give him something else to put his energy into, his grooming may become more normal and his hairballs may diminish.
When to see the vet
Although most hairballs are, well, hair today and gone tomorrow, some are longer-lasting -- and much more dangerous.
"Sometimes even normal-size hairballs can cause intestinal blockage or choking," says Charles W. Hickey, D.V.M., a veterinarian in private practice in Richmond, Virginia. "That's why experts advise a trip to the vet if the retching continues for more than three days or if your cat is constipated or refuses food for more than a day. A hairball that blocks the digestive tract can be deadly, so catching it early is important," says Dr. Hickey.
*Note: As long as your pet has no dietary restrictions, there are some brands of cat food formulated specifically to fight and prevent hairballs.

A close-up of the baby's face clearly showing the lip shape and slightly separated eyelids. The slight shadowing seen to the left of the image is from the wall of the uterus, which at this stage of the pregnancy will always be very close to your baby.
Women had their babies at home for generations; it was only in the 20th century that women began to have hospital births. If you're considering a home birth, remember that the majority of pregnancies and deliveries are normal and do not need any medical intervention.
Be reassured that if you have decided to have a home birth and then change your mind, for example if you decide you want an epidural, or your midwife advises you that the baby needs help, you will be transferred to a hospital.
Have all the items you need for labor and birth gathered in the place you intend to deliver, and organize your items separately from the baby's items.
As well as practical items, such as clothing, toiletries, and sanitary pads, you may also want to have on hand music, phone numbers, and a camera. It's a good idea to have a well-stocked fridge so make a list of nutritious foods to stock up on before your due date. This will help you during labor and in the first week of parenthood. Your baby will need diapers, cotton cloths, onesies, clothing, sheets, and blankets.
If you have other children, you may need to make arrangements for them to be taken care of.
Even though you're planning to have your baby at home, there are circumstances in which you may need to be transferred to a hospital. This can happen before, during, or after labor and so, even though you may not want to contemplate this outcome, have an emergency bag packed just in case.
Ten to 30 percent of pregnant women carry the strep B bacteria in the vagina or rectal area. Known as GBS (group B streptococcus), it is usually harmless in adults, but can cause a rare and serious infection in newborn babies if untreated.

WASHINGTON (December 10, 2012)--The number of homeless people stayed about the same between January 2011 and January 2012, with a drop in the number of veterans with no place to live and an increase among families, the latest count finds.
The Housing and Urban Development Department says the sluggish economy has countered a vigorous effort to house the homeless, who now number 633,782, compared with the 636,000 a year ago.
The percentage of homeless veterans as well as those homeless for more than a year each dropped by about 7 percent.
Agencies are focusing their dollars on getting the long-term homeless into permanent housing and then providing them with support services.
The Obama administration has set of goal of eliminating veterans' homelessness and chronic homelessness by the end of 2015.
Advocates welcome the numbers, but say they show there's still a long way to go.

Never heard that, and most HPC systems have it set a great deal higher without trouble.
However, the choice is yours. If you have a large SMP system, you'll eventually be forced to change it or severely limit its usefulness for MPI. RHEL sets it that low arbitrarily as a way of saving memory by keeping the fd table small, not because the OS can't handle it.
Anyway, that is the problem. Nothing we (or any MPI) can do about it as the fd's are required for socket-based communications and to forward I/O.

Does anyone know any good solutions for automated deployment to a remote server using SFTP? I am specifically trying to deploy an asp.net mvc website to mosso. I can do it manually every time using an SFTP client, but would much rather have an automated (and consistent) way to do this.
We started with Q&A. Technical documentation is next, and we need your help.
Whether you're a beginner or an experienced developer, you can contribute.
I have written a pretty detailed blog post using TeamCity, and Web Deployment projects to automate build and deployment as a starter here:
I have then added to this to show FTP addition
A basic process flow is pretty simple:
I then make sure that i only deploy the Trunk of my SVN repo, and develop and test everything in an branch before merging - this way only tested stuff gets deployed. Add Automated testing to your build cycle and you've got a match made in heaven.
Some great free tools to get going are:

I earmarked two Pomodoro to clear my inbox this morning, and when I got half way through the second I was done.
The Pomodoro Technique manual says that this presents an opportunity to 'over learn' - and continue working, thereby increasing the quality of whatever it is you are working on.
I can understand this if working on a document - which can obviously be checked for copy errors / grammar etc, but email is a different beast - emails have been dispatched and my inbox is clear. I'm unlikely to embark on clearing out deleted items for example when there is more pressing work to do. Just unclear how to categorize this in 'number of Pomodoro achieved' today etc!

"There are 2 hard problems in computer science: caching, naming, and off-by-1 errors"
Honestly, compiler construction!
Design & Analysis of Algorithms
I think that question depends on the teacher you had, and how that subject was organized in your career.
Analyzing algorithms can be as hard as someone wants. Take in count that there are unsolved problems, and not only that: problems that can't be solved.
The thing is that you can have a problem, and if you know it can't be solved, that's perfect. But what if you don't? You can spend a lot of time trying to demonstrate it's NP-Complete, or trying to find a polynomial time solution to solve it.
Demonstrating NP-Completness is not easy. Yes, lots of problems are known, but the thing is to find the reductions to demonstrate that it's NP-Complete. And what if you spend lots of hours/days/months trying to demonstrate it, and it can be solved in polynomial time? :)
There are also other subjects, like Compilers, Group theory and Primitive Recursive Functions that can be as hard as the subject plan or the teacher wants ;)
Pattern Recognition i.e. Artificial Intelligence. This refers to smart computing along with other pattern recognition tools like, Optical Character Recognition, Voice to text, facial identification, etc.
Many of the "cool" things you can do or wish you could do with computers rely on these algorithms, and we have been attempting to perfect them for decades without a whole lot of success.
My pick is computability theory
(Hmm... maybe it's not that important, but it sure was difficult)
category theory (discrete mathematics), but worth it
If you do it just slightly wrong, it could cost a company millions.
Operating Systems, especially the part that has anything to do with threading.
And the reason isn't because it was that hard to make 5 philosophers eat pizza with a fork. The reason is because writing multithreaded code is in and of itself difficult and not necessarily easy for the human (at least male - according to my wife) mind to compute.
I too vote for Compiler Design. Especially where the DFA and NFA part comes in. I am also not so clear about NP problems and stuff.
Queuing Theory
Well technically this is a branch of mathematics, but is highly relevant in CS.
Nearly everything in CS is based on queues (visible (obvious) and invisible (not so obvious or implied)).
In the early days of CS the queues were obvious.
Nowadays the queues are not so obvious. The internet for example: a packet switched network, but the packets form queues and routing the packets is a form of queue minimization.
Numerical analysis
It's not too hard on the toy problems you're given in the course, but once you start considering real problems it turns into serious drudgery.
Interpreting client requirements when the client doesn't really know what they want. This is not taught in college, and is one of the the most essential skills to have.
Personally, mine was Formal Logic. It was tough to start with, but once you get the rules down and manage to play with it enough, your brain goes
As a side-note, I am answering the question directly - this was definitely not the hardest subject when I did my degree, but it was probably the hardest "real-life applicable" subject.
Compiler Constructions. Hard but must to understand the concepts behind
Kernel Design anyone ? Well I don't really know how it's done and what is the targeted features for an OS, but for me thinking about designing a kernel must be a daunting task.
I also think about computer security; I don't really know what makes a system unsafe except of course, obvious buffer overflows, XSS and SQL injections.
I'm not sure, but there seems that some algorithms are also unsafe; look at the MetaSploit project, it lists all type and kinds of security breaches: you can see there are a lot of ways a program can be flawed.
There are many awkward topics in the field, but my picks for sheer persistent difficulty are those involving Global System Properties. Examples of this general topic include:
These are hard because you're after something that only exists when everything is correct; you need a global system property and yet virtually all the tools available (and all the ones that scale to real problems in my experience) only really do local reasoning. It's the process of going from reasoning about the pieces of the program to the whole shebang that's hard, particularly because it's entirely possible to have pieces that are all correct in themselves but where there still are subtle bugs because the components are incorrectly arranged; the bugs can be undesirable emergent characteristics…
Management Information Services
During my college period i used to have one management subject each semester which totally made me mad.
If you are working in C/C++ pointers are the most important concept to know. But somehow I never understood it fully in college.
Design and Analysis of Algorithms. It isn't so much that it's hard to understand and analyze known algorithms, it's that designing and analyzing new algorithms for hard problems is difficult, and requires a broad understanding of many areas and practice in applying many different techniques.
Constraint Programming. which deals with combinatorial problems, NP-complete problems.
Optimization of Algorithm is challenging Topic.
Discrete math.
It was difficult because the theories are very loosely related to each other but they're used in CS. Too much memorization I guess...
Proof by Induction, Big O, recursion, divide and conqure, Graph Theory, blah blah.. argh!
Compiler for me was easy, because we had to take Theory of Automata. ^^
Z notation/formal methods used to hurt my brain at college. Mainly because I hated it. Hard is a lot easier when you enjoy what you're doing and much harder when you don't.
I like your answers (and I didn't forget upvoting them), like compiler, kernel, etc., but most of programmers never met these problems. There is a bit easier, but more common issue: concurrency - threads, locking. It's very easy to write a program which produces magical errors, if we make even a small bug in the concurrency architecture.
So, I say, it's not the hardest issue in computing, but because it's commonly used, it is a dangerous one.
Object Oriented Programming
It's probably because I cut my teeth on FORTRAN and APL, but the shift from strictly procedural languages to objects has been something I've struggled with for years. It doesn't help that so-called 'experts' write conflicting articles and tutorials on what it means to be object oriented and the best/proper ways of constructing object oriented programs.

Create new Model
Hi all,
i created a Model and bind it to a form. After I load a new Record (Direct PHP Backend) every fields are filled with the data from Backend.
Now I create a new Model and call "updateRecord()". Now the Create method of the backend is called and the Data will be stored in Database. I return an Object containing the saved Data and the new ID, generated by the Backend-Database. This value has been set in the Model but the Form won't be updated. Should I reload the Data in the Form by calling loadRecord or is there any other method for Refreshing the Form <-> Model Binding?
Best Regards

There is no actual vinding from a model to a form. If the model was updated with some data, you have to update the form.Mitchell Simoens @LikelyMitch

Meeko, owner were let down
May 19, 2013
To the editor: I am compelled to express my utter disappointment and sadness over the decision to seize and euthanize the pet raccoon belonging to Cora Peterson of Smithfield....
It is my understanding that, since Meeko was found on the property where he lived for a year of being cared for, then he could have been released on said property. Mrs. Peterson was told by the humane officer that she had 30 days to teach Meeko to forage for food and then release him. Question: Who made the phone call resulting in Meeko being seized and euthanized less than 10 days later? Question: Were proper procedures followed? Question: Could the Peterson family have kept Meeko under a permit or license? Question: Why is it apparently legal (Ohio Rev. Code) to purchase a raccoon at a flea market or other means (Amish sales in Wayne County)but not allowable in this case? QUESTION: Was the Peterson home entered legally and without threat or intimidation upon the knowledge of his existence inside this home?

She made the first and only mistake. Letting this "humane officer" in her house without a warrant or just cause, never let anyone you don't know in or on your property. Only person that could have made the fatal call is the humane officer, and hopefully she can't sleep at night for all the trouble she is causing this area.

This is the problem with government. Idiots vote idiots into office and the end result is that they control what a person can do, what they can have as a pet and if they do not get what they want, they come to your home armed, and take away what is yours.

It is my understanding you can get a license to have wild animals, but it might be harder now after the indecent when a owner let the animals out and committed suicide.

I use to say of my sons - "give them an inch and they'll take a mile". These days I now apply the thought to the idiots in goverment at any level. Sadly thou, the idiots are'nt satisfied with one mile, they want two and a pint of blood to boot. Humane officer, another name for an idiot who needs help tying shoe laces.

Sorry to see that the owner would rather see the raccoon killed instead of giving it to one of the local zoo's who would have taken it.

I dont agree with the way any of this was delt with.You cant turn your back on a baby like that, but at the same time .A year?.He should have been introduced to the outside mid summer. I've had everything from crows, groundhogs, skunks and yes rac*****. They should never be kept indoors, or caged for that length of time. Why didnt she put his cage outside and eventually leave the door open? Would have solved the entire problem.

@ DeeKay2....The owner DID NOT want the animal killed. The HUMANE OFFICER did! Rather than helping people, she rather tick off the community. Time to vote out the current one and bring in a new blood that will actually care about the job instead of someone that wants to abuse the power.

That is the problem. We do not need a humane officer! All he/she can be is another bureaucrat that must find a job to do, people to exploit to justify a paycheck.

deekay2....the owner of the raccoon was making arrangements for help when the wildlife officers showed up. I am one of the people who reached out to her to help but she was on the phone with another individual who pleaded with the men.
KittensRUS...the humane officer is not a county employee and is not voted in. This person is employed by the humane society.

Well the Humane society needs to be revamped and looked into, they need this person fired and sued. This animals shelter / workers only care about themselves and how to make their image better. If it wouldn't hurt the animals, I say boycott anything to do with the JCHS and JCAS. There are way better shelters and society in Ohio for people to donate too, and we shouldn't have to put up with this. OUR tax dollars paid for their building, thinking it would help. Our complaints are being shut out and not heard!

Three times I have e-mailed a letter the editor of this newspaper; revamped each time but told never received. All letters addressed the allegations of abuse and unwarranted killing of dogs when the kennels are never full. All the revamped letters included these two paragraphs:
Many people wrote letters to the commissioners questioning the activities going on at this $1.6 million facility and those people have yet to receive even a phone call acknowledging receipt of their letters much less any reassurance that these concerns are seriously being addressed. Even the evidence that I have compiled, including requesting a return phone call from the two commissioners I telephoned, have yet to be taken seriously. AND Folks, it is time to question if the group that the county commissioners entrusted with the care and protection of those animals actually looked the other way only to make themselves out to be the heroes in solving the problem of abuse at the shelter.

Which antibiotics cause Clostridium difficile colitis?
Although the antibiotic clindamycin (Cleocin) has been widely recognized as causing C. difficile colitis, many commonly prescribed antibiotics also cause colitis. Examples of antibiotics that frequently cause C. difficile colitis include:
- ampicillin,
- amoxicillin, and
- cephalosporins (such as cephalexin [Keflex]).
Antibiotics that occasionally cause C. difficile colitis include:
- penicillin,
- erythromycin,
- trimethoprim (Primsol), and
- quinolones such as ciprofloxacin (Cipro).
Antibiotics that rarely if ever cause C. difficile colitis include:
- tetracycline,
- metronidazole (Flagyl),
- vancomycin (Vancocin), and
- aminoglycosides (such as gentamicin [Garamycin]).
Learn more about: Flagyl
In fact, metronidazole and vancomycin are two antibiotics that are used for treating C. difficile colitis; however, there are rare reports of C. difficile colitis occurring several days after stopping metronidazole.
While most C. difficile colitis in the US is caused by antibiotics, C. difficile colitis also can occur in patients without exposure to antibiotics. For example, patients with ulcerative colitis and Crohn's disease have been known to develop C. difficile colitis without exposure to antibiotics.
Since many antibiotics can cause C. difficile infection, all antibiotics should be used prudently. Self-administration or using antibiotics without an accurate diagnosis or a proper reason should be discouraged. On the other hand, benefits of properly prescribed antibiotics for the right reasons usually far outweigh the risk of developing C. difficile colitis.
Antibiotics can sometimes cause diarrhea that is not due to C. difficile infection. The reason for the diarrhea is not clear. The practical implication is that not all diarrhea associated with antibiotics should be considered to be due to C. difficile and treated as such.

Ten (or So) Top Gaming Apps for Kindle Fire HD
Cut the Rope
From: Zepto Lab
Price: $0.99
This is a very addictive game. The whole idea is that there's this monster you have to feed candy (don't ask why). The candy swings on ropes, and you have to figure out how to cut the rope so the candy whacks into various star-shaped objects, exploding them, and eventually ends up in the monster's mouth.

The CD-R tray keeps opening on my mini-tower for no apparent reason.
I am currently running Ubuntu 12.04 LTS after having tried 11.10 for about 6 weeks. The tray opened on 11.10 as well. My system also has a DVD drive which does not open.
My system is an older (5-6 years) min-tower which used to run Win-XP. It has an Intel Celeron 2.4GHz CPU with 1GB RAM. Apart from being a Genuine Intel motherboard, I don't know the exact model.
The CD-Writer is a Maxtor 34098H4 MAXTOR 6L080J4 - tray opens.
The DVD drive is a CR-4804TE HITACHI DVD-ROM GD-7500 - normal behavior.
The CD tray opens whether I'm using the computer or not. My work-around is to leave a CD-ROM in the drive - with a disk in the tray, it does not seem to open. In all other respects, both optical drives work properly.
Has anyone else seen this? Any suggestions for a fix? I am new to Ubuntu so I will need step by step instructions

A set of short screencasts providing a "tour" of the network capabilites in the Silverlight 4 beta. We'll look at raw HTTP access, socket access and WCF capabilities.
In this video, we take a look at using raw socket APIs to do duplex communication with servers within the LAN environment.
The next video in this series is here and the previous videos are;
Part 1 - WebClient and HTTP GET, XML
Part 2 - WebClient and HTTP GET, RSS, ATOM, JSON
Part 3 - WebClient, HttWebpRequest and HTTP POST
Part 4 - Cross Domain and Cross Scheme
Part 5 - HTTP Methods and Stacks
Part 6 - HTTP and Basic Authentication
Part 7 - HTTP and Forms Authentication
Oops, something didn't work.
Nice video! Thanks=)
One question:
Can silverlight app connect to the designated server without policy server?
For TCP socket connections - not in Silverlight 3 or in Silverlight 4 Beta as far as I'm aware.
Whether that'll change when Silverlight 4 goes from Beta to RTM, I don't know at the time of writing.
Hi Mike,
Can you make the source code for this video available?
Hi Mike,
I agree with Sam!
To each of you can release video, publishing resources.
Thank you.
Hi Mike ... Is it possible to share your codes ...

As with physical machines IO is king. There will be a noticeable IO hit from virtualisation (how much of a hit depends on the technology you choose), so make sure that you do nothing that can exacerbate this and harm IO performance further.
Of course if your entire DB (and everything else the VM is running) fits into the RAM allocated to the VM and it sees very little write activity, IO performance can be much less of an issue.

These shows didn't "jump the shark." That doesn't do them justice.
No, these are shows where the creators simply said "fuck it", flew out of the water, broke the bounds of the earth's atmosphere and set a course for the center of the Sun.
They took their shows down in a blaze of batshit insane glory, and we were there to watch.
#6. Baywatch
The Show:
Specifically, we're referring to a spinoff many of you didn't know existed, called Baywatch Nights. Judging from the title and David Hasselhoff's fondness for not trying too hard, you'd think this show would be Baywatch, at night. Instead they took the extra step and made it Baywatch, only in a detective agency solving beach cases. But if you watch it in slow motion with the brightness turned down, yeah, it's Baywatch, at night.
Basically the premise is that the main police officer on the original Baywatch show, Sergeant Garner Ellerbee--and yes, that was his actual name on the show--has a midlife crisis and quits his job to start a detective agency. He's joined by Mitch Buchannon, grippingly portrayed by nuanced character actor David Hasselhoff.
Together, they solve beach-related crimes, every week. Loitering-related murder came up a lot. Eh, we've heard worse ideas for shows...
So, What Happened?
It got "X-Filed."
Baywatch Nights didn't turn into the mega-hit its predecessor was, and producer/star David Hasselhoff wanted a piece of all the money X-Files was making at the time. So, he started forcing a science-fiction plot into every single episode. You would think that they would run out of sci-fi beach crime plots quickly, and... they did.
And thus some of the most ridiculous plots ever aired on TV were born. Episodes included:
Sea Monsters;
Unfrozen Vikings;
Surfing aliens;
A mutant mermaid serial killer;
David Hasselhoff getting cloned to save himself from mutated Brazillian-body-snatching snails.
We didn't make up any of those.
That transition from "shitty" to "pants-shittingly shitty" happened between season one and two, and is best evidenced by the difference in opening themes. Season One:
A very standard issue shitty TV action show intro. Notice the near omni-presence of a Miami Vice suit-wearing David Hasselhoff...
There are beaches, hot people running in slow-ass mo' and boobs jiggling.
That is a winning formula, so to mess with it they must have had something nut-burstingly awesome in mind. Season Two:
Holy shit! Why is it screaming at us?
Hasselhoff switched from a comforting white-and-black Don Johnson suit to an ominous trenchcoat. Then, it's all candles and skulls...
...and, uh, taxidermy dogs.
At one point, Eddie Cibrian points a gun at the screen in what is likely an attempt to put the viewer out of their misery.
It all ends with history's most disturbing shot of Hasselhoff eye-fucking the shit out of the camera.
Viewers around the world rapidly turned off their televisions and promptly had them cleansed by an exorcist. Baywatch Nights was canceled after the second season.
#5. Family Matters
The Show:
In a nutshell, a middle-class African-American family tries to make a living, despite the fact that everything interesting they do is upstaged by their neighbor's Asperger's syndrome.
Actually a spinoff from Perfect Strangers, the sitcom that foisted horrid European walking stereotype Balki Bartokomous on the planet, Family Matters was standard sitcom fare for the time. There was a live studio audience there to remind you which parts were supposed to be funny and most episodes consisted of the dad getting mad, the kids avoiding punishment and the wife fixing everything. It was sort of like a cold medicine commercial with a laugh track.
Of course, things changed when the quirky neighbor Steve Urkel was added to the cast halfway through the first season, and the rest is history. Dirty, dirty, history.
So, What Happened?
Steve Urkel created his own science-fiction playground and took a creamy dump on the entire Family Matters universe.
See, the show had been built on a time-tested formula: African-American Family Life + Gimmick White People Like = Hit Show. They had that first part, so all they needed was to find the gimmick, and gracefully place it into the show. The goal is to do it subtly, as if it were there all along.
And while inserting the nerdy Urkel was enough to carry the show for a few seasons, viewer interest waned and the show responded by taking a triple shot of crazy. Urkel, previously portrayed as a fish-out-of-water, grew skills as a "super-scientist." Soon, illuminating the middle-class stress of a police family was cast aside in lieu of Steve Urkel's Wacky Sci-Fi Adventures.
First came Stefan, an alter-ego created by drinking Steve Urkel's "cool juice." Once in a while, Stefan would rear his ugly head. Weird, but not Baywatch Nights weird. Then, Steve Urkel cloned himself, creating a permanent Stefan who became a fixture in the series. They even had a spooky love triangle, inspiring many viewer fantasies of being the lucky Pierre in the double-Urkel Express.
Steve Urkel. Stefan Ur-kel.
To make room for these freaky plots, entire members of the family were cast aside to a life of porn. The plot became solely about Urkel, and to a lesser extent, the cop from Die Hard. Plots included...
Urkel and Carl shrink to a tiny size;
Urkel's ventriloquist dummy comes to life and tries to steal souls;
Urkel and Carl go back in time and spend a whole episode on a pirate ship;
Urkel goes to outer space.
This nasty attempt at a crossover theme managed to alienate approximately everyone, killing the second longest-running African-American sitcom of all time. Even worse, it pretty much paved the way for Homeboys in Outer Space," for which there in no penance.
#4. Roseanne
The Show:
In a fictional town in Illinois, two ridiculously fat parents with surprisingly skinny kids make lighthearted jokes about the constant, life-crushing threat of joblessness.
The mother, Roseanne, was portrayed by a type of succubus creature with a voice that could strip wallpaper and an appearance resembling a cross between a manatee and an evil ventriloquist dummy. OK, that's a little harsh. Not all ventriloquist dummies are evil.
Anyway, toss in John Goodman in his breakthrough role as fat dad and add some smart alecky kids, then make everyone hate each other. Poof, instant Emmys, presumably for its "realism." The show was praised back in the day for portraying a blue-collar family in which both parents worked, otherwise known as every family you've ever heard of ever.
So, What Happened?
Through its first eight seasons, Roseanne was always about the ups-and-downs of a struggling family. It was a steady hit for most of its run, but when the ratings declined, the powers that be decided to end the series. However, they agreed to make one last season, and plumped it full of freaky gimmicks in a cheap attempt to boost ratings.
To begin the season, Roseanne wins $108-million in the lottery. Overwhelmed by this ridiculous plot twist, Roseanne begins to drift in-and-out of fantasies, such as hanging with Jerry Springer, doing glamor photo shoots with Hugh Hefner and this god-awful episode involving Roseanne killing terrorists on a train and wearing a tube top. We freaking warned you:
Then, Jackie, the sister-who-could-probably-grow-a-mustache, marries a prince. If the jiggly adventures of a semi-nude Roseanne and Jackie-XXY weren't enough to make your sex organs crawl up into your stomach, the show decided to drop the revelation that Roseanne's crazy old bitch mom was a lesbian.
However, none of this compares to the twist of the series finale, where it was revealed that the whole show was invented by Roseanne to cope with her horribly craptastic life. Her husband, the father of their children, is dead. It was like finding out that Cliff Huxtable had murdered his family, buried them in the basement and then hallucinated a decade of wacky Cosby adventures. Cue laugh track. End series.

I am from Brazil, a country that has not fought any war since WW2. If you join the army, go fight in Iraq and then return, what will the USA pay you? Is there a health plan for life, a pension, or nothing? Being a soldier is just a temporary job. You earn a good sum of money while you are a soldier, but nothing more than this.
Okay, there is a very real possibility this question will be closed, because it really doesn't fit our guidelines. I may try to edit it later to make it fit in better, but in the meantime, I wanted to provide my own response. Primarily, I believe most people in the US join the military out of a sense of patriotism more than anything else. There are some who do it because it has been done by many generations of family members before them, but generally I believe patriotism is the single most common factor.
Now then, as for the actual answer. The US military provides very good educational benefits which will beasically pay for a full college education for anyone who serves as an elnisted person for at least four years. This alone is a major incentive for a lot of young people. In addition to this, the military provides training in a variety of vocational skills that will allow others who do not want to go to college to gain practical experience that they can then leverage in seeking work in civilian life.
While it is true that you might find similar training in the civilian world, the harsh truth is that most companies that can provide this training won't provide it to young, inexperienced people straight out of high school. The military takes a chance on a lot of people who might otherwise never get that first opportunity. This ia another major incentive for joining.
In the past, during more peaceful times, this was an excellent opportunity for so many under-privileged youth. Now, however, they have to weight their decisions against the possibility that they may have to serve time in a combat zone. The risks are higher, but the benefits haven't improved considerably.
Also, even though military personnel receive an increase in pay while serving in a combat zone, this is not really all that great an increase. The general pay in the military is not that great to begin with. In spite of that, it does truly provide a lot of people who couldn't otherwise find jobs to get an opportunity to receive training and work experience that they can use for the rest of their lives.
I'm adding some stuff I know about that I didn't see in the other answers.
IMHO, the best benifit is free medical care for life in the V.A. system. Most Americans either have to have a full-time (40+hour a week) job with a large company, or be really old or destitute to get paid medical coverage. Everybody else has to buy insurance themselves (and fully 1/4 of the country doesn't feel they can afford that, so they aren't covered at all).
If you join the military you get free medical care while you are enlisted, and then you have a chance at the V.A. system. This is a totally separate healthcare system only available to veterans. It has its plusses and minuses (cheif minus being its really hard to get into), but it is the USA's only totally socialized medical system (hospitals are government-owned, and medical personnel are government employees), so it doesn't suffer from the weirdly skewed visits-and-tests priorities the rest of the USA's medical system has.
Another not-insignificant consideration is that it amounts to a fairly reliable job, that doesn't require a college degree. There is a minimum physical and mental condition they require (adjusted by the vagarities of supply and demand), but otherwise pretty much anyone who wants can get themselves a "job" that way. For those without the money for college and living in communities without a lot of oppertunities for unskilled laborers, this is likely the best deal going. Children of the working poor are highly represented in the US enlisted ranks.
Note that it is in fact a fairly reliable job too. The US Army doesn't often have layoffs. When big wars wind down and they need less people, they just dial back enlistment a notch and the numbers will naturally drop down to the desired level after a while. Even without large wars to fight, the USA has commitments to defend countries all over the world (eg: South Korea), so there's plenty of need for soldiers in "peacetime".
Lastly, they do a lot of other little things. For instance there was a time when it was a quicker way to get US citizenship (yup, you don't have to be a citizen to join the Army!). I had some immigrant friends from Muslim countries who seriously considered this option.
Mostly its not enough IMHO for what we ask them to do for us, but it does seem to be enough to get recruits.
You can find US military pay and benefits information online. The pay, especially for enlisted personnel, is generally lower than comparable civilian jobs both inside and outside the government (officer pay is a bit more even). The benefits aren't bad but can be overly bureaucratic at times.
However, the reason people have volunteered since the draft ended in the early 1970's is either out of a sense of patriotism and/or to access the generous education and training benefits. This varies somewhat by the branch of service. In the Marines, most join for patriotic reasons coupled with risk taking adventure seeking (that was my reason for taking that direction). The Air Force, outside of flight training and a few other specialties, tend to attract those looking for education/training for an eventual civilian job.
America is a very unequal country. The Armed Forces is the "great democratizer," especially for people at the bottom.
American companies generally do a poor job of training their workers. The Armed Forces represent one of the exceptions to the rule. Poorly educated high school graduates come out of the Armed Forces well trained, with marketable skills.
With widespread mechanization, there are relatively few "heavy lifting" jobs for American people whose backs are stronger than their minds. The Armed Forces have a need for physical labor, and the pay for enlisted men and women is better than say, McDonalds. (It's the officers that are paid less than their civilian counterparts.)
Many of the people that join the Armed Forces are unpopular or ostracized in civilian life. The Armed Forces gives such people a sense of pride and belonging "Be all you can be." and "There's strong, and there's Army strong."
Promotions are easier to earn in the Armed Forces than in civilian life. (Except for "fast trackers" from "good schools.") Many people go further in the Armed Forces than they would in the corporate world, and then use their Armed Forces ranks to get good civilian jobs. It's unlikely that Dwight Eisenhower, the son of a mechanic who couldn't send him to college, would have become President of the United States apart from the Army. Colin Powell, a kid from the Bronx who "found himself" in the Army would never have become Secretary of State and a potential Presidential candidate without it. These are "extreme" examples, but illustrate the point.
American society is so violent that the Armed Forces aren't all that MORE dangerous. There's a saying that more Americans die on the highways every year than were killed in the Vietnam War. Casualties in the Persian Gulf War were low, so low that there probably would have been more deaths among the soldiers had they been involved in the only civilian pursuits they had available in the United States.
Let's speculate.
I think there are the following factors:
P.S. I am not American, this is just a look from out side.

I want to remove all duplicates from my library, to consider a duplicate the song must have the same encoding, bits, duration.
You can use the default iTunes engine to find duplicates :
"Show duplicates" been removed from iTunes 11. As we are left with having to use 3rd party apps to remove duplicates now, Tune Sweeper is the one I use.
If you enable iTunes Match, duplicates will now be marked with an icon:
Note however that such files do not need to have the "same encoding" to be recognized as duplicates. Also note that (inconveniently) the file marked by Match as a duplicate (and thus "skipped") may not have the "best" encoding of the duplicated files. For example, you might see this:
In this case, in order to end up with a single song, managed by Match, with the high bit-rate song on your machine, you will need to delete both songs, leaving just the one managed by Match (the first one above)
and then download the "Purchased" song from iCloud
Here are two more options: Free - DupeGuru Shareware - iDupe
I haven't tried DupeGuru yet, but iDupe worked quite well for me, though I had to batch up my checkin. First I'd select iTune's buggy "display dupes" and then I'd use that selection to run iDupe on. This sped things up quite a bit. I'm interested to see whether DupeGuru improves things by checking audio finger prints.

Five backcountry snowboarders were killed Saturday in Colorado's deadliest avalanche in more than 50 years.
Saturday's avalanche struck about 1 p.m. on the north-northeast aspect of the Sheep Creek drainage of Loveland Pass along U.S. 6, the Clear Creek County Sheriff's Office said.
The avalanche occurred near the Loveland Ski Area but outside its boundaries.
Sheriff Don Krueger said there was one confirmed survivor - a member of the group was able to drag himself out and call for help. Krueger said his office was notified about 2 p.m.
The survivor was up and walking around when he saw him, Krueger said.
No information was released Saturday about the five victims - no names, ages or genders. The bodies were recovered.

I have been running pretty bad recently, I now feel that I have started to play worse as a result. What do you think is the best way to reset yourself so you can start to play better?
Oftentimes, the reason bad luck leads to bad play is because of a pyschological need to get back to even faster than you should statistically be able to. If you normally win on average $10/hour, and you just had a 3 day losing streak where you lost $1000, you may not have the patience to play 100 hours to win back that $1000. Subconsciously you will involuntarily try to get it back faster, and that means you may find yourself entering pots you normally wouldn't because they are abnormally large, or limping with far too many hands, or calling low EV bets hoping for a lucky card... I.E, you will play worse trying to race against time. As Jeffrey Blake stated, one way to fix this is to simply stop playing long enough for the desire to get even to wear off. For me, after really big loses, regardless of the reason, I found that two weeks was about right for me to stop caring about the big loss.
Another thing that helps is to drop down to much lower stakes than you usually play. The stakes have to be low enough that there is no possible way you can make back your recent losses. This has a similar effect to not playing at all because once your mind has accepted the fact that you can't get even at these stakes, it won't trick you into making the mistakes I mentioned above, and you can get back to focusing on odds, EV, and reading people.
I always ramp up my review efforts when I am running bad. At minimum, I will double the portion of my time spent studying and reviewing hands. I also run them by other players I trust.
During extended down runs, I find that I may end up needing to take some time away from the tables to unwind and get my head straight. That could be a day or two, or it could be as long as a week. It is like any other vocation: sometimes you need a vacation to perform optimally.
I know the feeling I have been playing well for months but always seem to be on the end of bad beats. I use HEM2 and most of the tournaments I play I am finishing +EV but not cashing.
I tend to do one of two things when I am on a run like this:
The important thing to do is to keep playing your normal game. Don't adjust it if it was previously working. The chances are its just varience.
Firstly, you must know that competence (high win-rate) and volume are the only real enemies of running bad and downswing.
Secondly, I recommend you the book The Mental Game of Poker, written by Jared Tendler. You will find many things about tilt and all the psychological aspects related to the game of poker.
Thirdly, you must know that going through a bad run will make you mentally stronger for the future and the next bad run won't appear as bad as the previous one. I had a 70k break even stretch at Zoom Poker NL10 on PokerStars. It took me a while to get back together but now I feel (and I am) unstoppable ar NL10 FR.
It is "normal" to play worse when you run bad. It is already known and proven millions of times by now. There are a few things you can do, in order, depending on how mentally tough you are:
Further reading is on PokerStrategy and on 2p2.
I hope it helped you.
One more thing: no matter if you're running good or bad, always keep your win rate high. Kills variance.

5 Old Children's Cartoons Way Darker Than Most Horror Movies
#2. Balloon Land (1935) -- Condom People vs. The Masturbating Monster
Right from the title screen, this 1935 cartoon by Ub Iwerks (aka the guy who co-created Mickey Mouse) lets you know there's going to be a somewhat disturbing recurrent motif in the story. Let's see if you can spot it.
Hint: It's dicks.
Balloon Land supposedly takes place in a world populated by living balloons, and judging by the above image, they're of the penis-wrapping kind. The story begins with the balloon people squeezing rubber out of a living tree and placing that rubber on a machine that shapes it into a little balloon boy and a little balloon girl.
These balloon kids haven't been alive for five seconds when a man warns them, through a song, that if they go into the forest, they'll run into a creature that will "rip your skin." The children, being children (and idiots), decide to do exactly that anyway, and that's when they run across the Pincushion Man, who looks like ... wait, what ... what's he doing now?
Oh sweet Jesus. Apparently the Pincushion Man was supposed to look like a giant safety pin (or at least that's what Mr. Iwerks told the police), but the animators didn't quite know what to do with the huge metal rod protruding from his hip, and so they decided it would be appropriate if he yanked it in front of little children.
"Don't worry, there's no way anyone will ever take this out of context."
Besides being a pervert, the Pincushion Man is also a certified psychopath who goes around Balloon Land murdering people by poking them with his big sharp stick -- like this completely innocent racial stereotype, whose only crime was letting the children hide in his house:
Pincushion Man goes on a murderous rampage all over the city -- the citizens send an entire Balloon Men Army to stop him, but they turn out to be exactly as useful as their name implies. Eventually, the citizens figure out that they can harm the Pincushion Man by hauling raw rubber at him, pushing him out of Balloon Land until he literally plummets to his death.
Yippie-ki-yay, motherfucker.
#1. Swing You Sinners! (1930) -- Bad Acid Cartoon Hell
Officially, LSD was first produced in 1938. We say "officially" because this cartoon says it's from 1930, and there's no way it was created without massive doses of acid being pumped into everyone involved.
Swing You Sinners! starts like every other cartoon from its era, with a cartoon dog trying to steal a chicken and being chased by a fat cop. While escaping, our protagonist runs into a graveyard ... and that's when the terror begins.
It turns out that everything in this graveyard is alive, including the dead things. Especially the dead things. For starters, the gate grows a mouth and swallows its own key, which is never a good sign.
What will it grow if it wants to give it back?
Just the gate mouth alone would be terrifying enough, but unfortunately it's about to get much worse: More mouths open in the ground and try to swallow up the protagonist as the headstones come alive and surround him, telling him how terrible he is. Even more unfortunately, it's all in the form of jazz blues.
The protagonist tries to escape and only comes across more and more deranged beings from the darkest depths of the imagination, which condemn him for the "chickens he used to steal ... craps he used to shoot ... girls he used to chase." Wait, that's it? That's all this cartoon doggie did to deserve being subjected to this horror?
The protagonist runs into a barn where the insanity steps it up a notch. First he's harassed by inanimate objects clearly possessed by demons and a giant version of the chicken from the beginning, who starts scatting uncontrollably at him, Leland Palmer style:
Then his underwear floats off and turns into a ghost who tries to cut his throat, which frankly is something we never thought we'd see outside of a Japanese cartoon:
Ghost Pantsu Panic Go! is very popular in Japan.
He runs back outside, but the entire barn turns into ghoulish faces straight out of '70s poster art:
Our hero is chased into a cave by an endless column of ghosts, and here the cartoon stops fucking around and just goes into full-blown drug-fueled insanity. It contains, we swear to God, a frog thing inexplicably feeling itself up in a way that it is impossible to think of as anything other than opium chills ...
... a giant skeleton hand that beheads the protagonist with a knife ...
... and finally a giant, horrifying skull face that swallows him.
That's the last thing you see in the cartoon and, if you watch this late at night, ever. Man, we're never stealing another chicken again.

A simple high school math problem (It's been too long since I went there).
I need to find the average of the yearly output when the degredation of the yearly output is given by $100 \times 0.98^x$. I need to be able to find the average between $x_1$ and $x_2$ where $x_1 \geq 0$ and $x_1 \lt x_2 \lt 40$.
I needed it for a business case I need to be able to verify. The degredation is the expected degradation of solarpanels and the calculation will give an estimate of the scrap value of a solar panel power plant at year x

I Love you Lilith

Contrary to popular sources and myths, Lilith is not a vampire. She was recognized in many ancient cultures under a variety of different names and was seen as a symbol of wisdom, knowledge, independence, freedom of thought and of liberation for woman. The last is where the myth of her being "the first wife of Adam" stems from. So the story goes, Lilith refused gods laws about men being superior to woman and she proved this by being ontop during sexual intercourse. For her boldness and defiance, she was thrown out of "the garden" and then came her successor, Eve, the perfect stay at home mom. This story was invented by the bringers of christianity which holds the view that a womans place is in the home serving the husband. Woman were told to be like the good Eve, and shun the ways of "evil Lilith". This was in order to suppress the Ancient Goddess and turn her followers away from her. They made her appear as an evil force. This way, woman would not want to be independent, as this was of Lilith. To them, any woman who was independent in some way was "of the demon Lilith and was evil and un christian". Lilith's sacred animal is the Owl, symbolizing wisdom and learning. Everyone has heard the term "wise owl". The Owl has also been associated with magick and mystery, of night and freedom. Owls are also beautiful, and Lilith, although strong and independent, is also beautiful. Lilith also stands for sexual pleasure and the right to use contraception and abortion. Abortion is where the story of Lilith "killing babies" comes from. Lilith never literally killed babies, she just supported the fact that a woman can choose to have an abortion if she does not wish to have the child that she has conceived. Lilith knows the importance of freedom of choice. The idea of Lilith murdering children was another analogy that came along with christianity. Lilith is also associated with the Serpent, with Lucifer. Lucifer was too a God before the coming of christianity, and Lilith is the wife of Lucifer, God of light and knowledge. The Serpent has been the symbol of knowledge in many ancient cultures. The Hindu, Buddhist, Shaman, Celtic, etc and was only really labelled as a symbol of evil when christianity came onto the scene. Lilith represents freedom, wisdom, knowledge, independence, power, divine beauty and the right to question things and think for yourself, going against herd mentality.

As all Eva nuts know, Eva was the propagator of all of humanity, as Adam was the Propigator of the Angels. All humans are made from LCL, her blood, held together by theeir AT Fields. All humans must eventually return to Lilith. That time is third impact. During Third impact Rei fused with Lilith, and with Shinji almost caused complete human instrumentality, until Shinji rejected it, causing Lilith's head and arm to fall off her body, leaving only Shinji and Asuka alone on Earth to be the new Adam and Eve of Humanity.
I hope to god that you had already watched End of Evangelion before reading this, major spoilers. Also if your don't get what the hell I'm talking about, google Neon Genesis Evangelion. Lilith by the way is also of course, the first woman created in the hebrew bible, who rebelled against Adam and god, and went on to be a total slut and kill babies.

Friday, July 29th will be Lisa & Eric's last day on K-LOVE. JD Chandler will be filling in until K-LOVE hires a new morning show team. Below is a letter from Lisa & Eric...
Saying goodbye to friends is never easy, but it is with grateful hearts that we say farewell to the K-LOVE listening family. As you may have already heard, our last day on the K-LOVE Morning Show is Friday, July 29th. Leaving is bittersweet, but we assure you that it's all good. As a matter of fact, it's all God! Lisa has been feeling the need to devote herself more to being a mommy to sons Jon David and Jesse. Combined with Eric feeling God's leading to start a new chapter in his life/career/ministry, it simply feels like God's timing to depart. Those are the facts, but here are our hearts… From Lisa –What a journey! When God opened the door for me to be a part of the K-LOVE Afternoon Show in 2007, it was an amazing time in my life. I had a seven month old baby boy, and less than a year later God gave us another precious little son. God healed our marriage, ended my years of infertility, and then gave me a platform I hardly deserved as a host on K-LOVE. God is awesome and blesses us "exceedingly, abundantly above all we could ask or think." I'm thankful every day to Jesus for what He's done for me and my family. Now, almost four years later, it has become clear that being a mom to two very active little boys needs my full attention. After much prayer and soul-searching, my husband and I have made the decision that I will be a full-time mommy. Being on K-LOVE has been a fun, amazing, blessed, rewarding experience, but it has become very clear that leaving is the right decision for me. It seems God has been tugging on my heart about this for months. The peace I now feel is extraordinary. The last two and a half years hosting the K-LOVE Morning Show have honestly changed my life! When Eric and I started hosting the show, we talked about making it fun, topical, and relevant – but most of all, we wanted it to be about spiritual growth. From The Love Dare to Outlive Your Life, from "Wow, God" stories to "Pillow Pets for Jake", from myoneword.org to Made to Crave, it has been one big, spiritual growth experience for me. Thank you for teaching us, loving us, laughing with us, encouraging us, and most importantly, thank you for growing with us. It has been a privilege. From Eric –God has taught me a lot over the last two years of doing the K-LOVE Morning Show. He's made some radical changes in my life that have challenged me to be a better husband, father, friend and follower of Christ. I've been blessed by your stories. I've learned from guests like Max Lucado, Kurt Warner, Matt Hammitt and Lysa TerKeurst. I've been moved out of my comfort zone rapping with tobyMac and dancing with Mandisa. And I've bonded with friends I will have for the rest of my life in Lisa, KC and Amy. In short, God has been way awesome to me! The past 12 months have been a roller coaster that included turning 40 and being baptized. In the midst of this was a prodding that God was calling me some place else. Fear and security often keep us where we are and so I didn't move. But when Lisa said she was leaving, it was like God opening a door for me to walk through. And that's what I plan on doing. I'm blessed with an amazing family – my wife Julie and kids Evan and Olivia, who have been so supportive. I'm thankful to David Pierce and Mike Novak for the opportunity to be part of the K-LOVE team for 10 amazing yearsI I leave grateful for the wonderful privilege of working here, humbled at how God has used this imperfect person. We truly feel honored and thankful for you allowing us to be a part of your mornings and life. K-LOVE is a fantastic ministry that God is using in amazing ways and we are praying for the next K-LOVE Morning Show team. We look forward to listening to them along with you! Love in Christ,Lisa & Eric

'The Office' actress Ellie Kemper is set to star in the series, which is about a woman who leaves a doomsday cult and starts her new life in New York City.
Tina Fey has been cooking up a new comedy, and NBC is placing an order.
Fey, whose 30 Rock comedy series ran on the network for seven seasons, is doing the project with writing and executive producer partner Robert Carlock. Actress Ellie Kemper is set to star in the series, which is about a woman who leaves a doomsday cult and starts her new life in New York City.
The comedy, which has a 13-episode order from NBC, is set to debut next fall.
"We have been lucky enough to work at NBC for our entire careers (except when Robert worked at The Dana Carvey Show, now available on DVD) and we thank Bob and Jen for their continued support." said Fey and Carlock in a statement about NBC Entertainment chairman Robert Greenblatt and NBC Entertainment president Jennifer Salke.
In a news release from the network, Salke said: "Original voices like Tina and Robert don't come along very often and we wanted them back on the air as soon as possible. And to have them working with Ellie Kemper — who we watched grow up on The Office from supporting player to leading actress — puts the whole package together. We feel fortunate to be in business with this entire creative team on something so funny, unique, and attention-getting."
Carlock worked with Fey for all seven seasons of 30 Rock, which ended its run in January.

I am working on simple web app site and we have "Contact sales" screen, where we have only a phone number and a small form (~5 fields). Does it make sense to use a popup for that screen instead of a separate page?
You should use a page, not a popup(be it a modal or a new browser window).
Using a page makes the contact information more scaleable, you can add more to it later without having to worry about redoing the layout.
Another benefit using a page is that you can direct link to it. People can view the information AND explore the rest of your site.
Typically I don't advocate for pop ups unless really necessary. However there are some exceptions. IF the button 'Contact Sales' appears as a persistent button, then it makes sense that you want to keep the user in the task flow or context they were in when they decided to 'Contact Sales'. So, if your user will access this button frequently, while performing a task then have them fill out the form in a pop up. That way then perform this sub-task in context of their workflow, but when done they can close the form (pop up) and not have to click back their point of origin or workflow context.
Will your users ever want to revisit the values they entered in the form via browser navigation? If so, a pop-up breaks that. (You can mitigate that by returning a confirmation page that shows all the values they entered.)
Some users, and some browsers by default, block pop-ups, so at best you'd be making those users take special action for your site and at worst they'll conclude that your site is broken.
Do you (or does any other party) need to directly link to the form? If so, you wouldn't want to use a pop-up.
This will depend upon the business flow a bit more than the actual aesthetics. If your user is required to continue using/ accessing relevant information on the same page, "pop-up" is the answer. If trying to "contact sales" is not bringing discontinuity to the business flow or overall experience, you can redirect to a separate page. Hope this helps.

EarthLite Basics Fleece Massage Table Warmer
The electric EarthLite Basics Fleece Massage Table Warmer keeps clients warm, comfortable and happy during a relaxing, therapeutic treatment with 2 variable controls that deliver the perfect temperature for every body. A comfortable fleece pad and table warmer in one and includes elastic corner straps to keep pad in place.
Bought over a year ago for double shift, AM and PM. At an average of 12 sessions weekly for 2 therapists, that is 1,248 massages and still going! We keep our warmer on an outlet strip that we shut off every night (perhaps that's what helps prolong its life). It does (sometime) shift when clients turn over but this can be solved with sheet straps or a rubber backing. I'm happy with this product despite the bad reviews. I'm buying another one today for a second massage table.
I have two of these and after less than one year, the controller breaks. First the low setting dies, and then the high setting. Very disappointing as we are now going into busy season with no heaters or option to purchase a controller.
I like that the padding is thick enough that the client cannot feel the coils.It does bunch up when turning clients, and at both the head and feet creating a messy table.
Unfortunatley I did recommend this to a friend one month before they died. We are waiting to see how long hers lasts.
It no longer works after less than 2 years of using it. Not worth it! Not very professional bunches up under the client when flipping
I have had this table warmer for 5 years now and it works just as well as when it was new. My only complaint is that it slides and bunches when the clients turn over.
I have owned this table warmer for approx. 2.5 years, use it maybe 2x/week and it no longer works. Other Therapists said their table warmers have lasted for 10+ years but this one has a short life and could be more plush. But I do love the easy control switch. This warmer should be priced at least $20 less than the $61
