What temperature do you set your heat to?
My wife and I bought our first house in October, a snazzy mid-century modern wonder from 1942. Most of the construction is original, so it is not the most energy-efficient house in the world. Luckily, we have gas heat, forced air-style.
We live in Massachusetts, and the winter is, well, wintry. My wife, who works from home, has been setting the temperature at 70 degrees, and is uncomfortable most of the day; she is reluctant to raise the heat because she has heard that 70 is the norm, and doesn't want a big bill.
I have heard that 77 or so is more average. What do y'all do?

Wow, 77 degrees for heat? That is pretty ridiculous. We set ours to 68 when we're home, 58 when we're sleeping or at work. I have an automatic schedule set in my thermostat that works out nicely. If you have a proper humidifier running, 68 degrees is all you need if you wear a sweater or sweatshirt around the house. We also only heat the rooms we use, and turn off the heat to the other bedrooms if nobody is using them to keep our costs down. I'd say if you don't have a humidifier, look into those, the difference was like night and day for us.
While I think 77 is high and 68 is low...
For me, in Michigan, I set mine for 70 for wake up, 60 when out of house, 72 when home, and 60 at night.
Yeah, 77 in the summer maybe?
We do in the 68-71 range.
I'll run the woodstove if it's going to be < 32 during the day or < 40 for a few days in a row.
That puts the main living area 75-85 without supplemental heat when it's going, depending on how much wood I want to go through.
I wouldn't mind dropping it a little more to save for $$, but I can't stand walking around the house all bundled up.
68 if I have to use it. Most of the time it's off.
When we're home and awake it's set at 67. Then it automatically goes down to 61 at night and 65 while we're at work. (We have pets so we want to keep them happy.)
I am a little uncomfortable at 67 but I just throw on a robe and it's all good.
Man, I would love to live in any of your houses.
I have our thermostat set for 63 when we're there, and 60 when we're not. It doesn't seem like a big difference, but you can tell.
I have no problem walking around in a shirt and sweats. My fiance, on the other hand, she'll complain every once-in-a-while. That's when I say, "Do you want to be super warm now, or do you want to go on a nice honeymoon? Put on a sweater." and she usually puts on a sweater =P
71 when home and 64 when at work and when sleeping. I can't stand having to wear sweatshirts and crap indoors. I could easily go to 70 and not know the difference might change it when I get home.
70 when its cold, 78 when its hot. Heat is money... a sweater or sweatshirt is a one-time cost.
67 when the family is home, during the day when it's just me working 64, and 60 overnight.
Think layers. Lots of layers.
68 at our house in balmy Northern Michigan. Feeties get cold occasionally but I just put socks on.
I can't imagine heating the house to 77. I think that'd be too warm and way too dry unless you're also running a powerful humidifier. I've been keeping mine set for 64.
65. Our thermostat isn't programmable so it's pretty much 65 all the time. 60 if we're going on a trip and remember to turn it down.
Thanks for the input, all. Seems like the average is 68-72 or so.
Thinking back, I may have gotten my "77 average" from an episode of Curb Your Enthusiasm, so I probably should not have considered it viable. :-/
68 in the winter when I'm home, 62 at night and when I'm away. If I'm cold I put on a Woot sweatshirt. Decreasing the thermostat by 3 degrees will save (according to the DOE) 10% on your bill.
Since you have gas heat you are spared most of the pain that your oil using neighbors are feeling, but it's still expensive. Your best bet would be to see if there are any measure that you can take in the spring/summer to weatherize the house (increase insulation, replace windows, etc) to decrease the heating bill and make it less drafty. There may be federal and/or state tax breaks for doing so.
77 is NOT normal, unless you mean in the summertime. Then I usually keep the house at 80.
Automatically set to warm up to 70 in the morning, then drop to 65 during the day (while at work).
Kicks back in to 70 right before we get home from work.
Drops to 62 at night.
I'll occasional -- like once a week, maybe, bump it to 71 or so if it seems chilly, but it reverts back to 70 after an hour or so.
FWIW, I live in IL.
70 (or lower) seems to be the norm, but a guy in my office keeps his at 73 and everyone around here thinks he's crazy for keeping it that warm...
Slippers and a long sleeve shirt do wonders.
Below 72 and I am cold, even wearing sweats and fuzzy house boots. I don't have a thermostat, I have a tiny 100 year old house with a gas heater in the floor between the living room and the dining room. The bedroom is an uninsulated addition (stucco rather than adobe like the rest of the house) with big windows and French doors. If I keep the bedroom door open it stays about 10 degrees below the rest of the house, but the heater can't get the house very warm. If I close the bedroom door the house will heat up well, but the bedroom is about the same temperature as outdoors. I turn off the heater at night and use an electric blanket. The cat sleeps on the electric blanket and the dog has triple stacked dog beds and I cover him with a doubled blanket when we go to bed. In the summer I have evaporative cooling. I run it till I am too cool then turn it off. Turn it back on when I get too hot.
We keep it 75-77 during the winter with our radiator heat, and 76-80 during the summer with our central air generally only on to dehumidify the house. I very staunchly believe that the highlight of owning one's own demesne is that one thus has the luxury of walking around in one's underoos if one wishes, without any cries of illegality or horror. This one does indeed wish--nay, demand!--this. So, HEAT. Of course, I do have to compromise. If it was purely up to me, it'd be about 80-85 at all times. But since there are other people living with me who are apparently not also cold-blooded reptiles, I've got to agree to the aforementioned temps. And also shirts. These people also demand I wear shirts. Which I have to, since it's only mid-70's and thus COLD, anyway. Oh, this first world hell in which I live. Woe! Woooooooooooe!!!
@dupedyetagain: And moreover, Curb takes place in CA, so the 77-degree average is definitely A/C, not heat. iFAIL.
@goldenthorn: ROFLOL! One of the downsides to traveling with my two large male friends is that they insist on setting the hotel room thermostats to polar. They feel that one of the benefits to having a hotel room is to be able to make it as cold as they like. So even when we vacation in tropical climes, I have to pack warm clothes for the hotel room. OTOH, I remember being sent on a work trip one winter when I was broke and keeping my house uncomfortably cold to save on my gas bill. I kept the hotel room at like 90 and enjoyed the luxury of running around in my skivvies for three days in the balmy heat.
I work from home I usually set mine at 65 degrees, unless I'm sick. If I'm sick I wimp out and crank it to 70. I have oil heat though and it is very expensive right now. If I had gas heat I'd probably have my thermostat set much higher.
If your wife seems cold-natured compared to others, she might talk to her doctor. Also, she might get a portable heater or space heater for the room where she works sitting down, as her body temp will drop when sitting. The rest of the house will prob feel comfortable at 68-70 as long as she's on her feet. Also, since you are both new to the house, you will probably acclimate to the thermostat over time. You can assist the process by going walking for at least 10-15 minutes outside in the cold ever day. (longer walks acclimate you faster)
As for portable heaters, I like the oil-filled ones that look like a radiator. YMMV on that.
@f00l: Do those things need ventilation? Do they run on electricity? Are they painfully hot to touch like old fashioned radiators? I saw one on sale the other days and thought about getting it for my gaming room, but I don't know enough about them. We have a couple of toddlers and my big dog wandering the gaming room while we play, so I am looking for something safer than the space heater we currently use, but that doesn't pull a lot of electricity as my wiring is very old. I am perfectly healthy, I just get cold more easily than most people, and am far less bothered by the heat than most people. My average body temp is about 97.5 and my blood pressure swings between perfect and a little low, which I figure is probably the reason.
@goldenthorn and @moondrake are giving me mental images I don't think I will be able to shake!
Heater? The temp here was in the 70s yesterday. We've only had to turn the heater on a few times this year. When we do, we try to keep it around 69 or 70. Some parts of the house stay cooler, but that's not a problem unless we are hanging out in those areas for long periods of time. We also keep a few space heaters available. I am willing to wear a comfie hoodie and slippers, if necessary. (Loaded up on slipper socks from deals I posted here.) The entire house doesn't have to be warm just for me to be comfy sitting in front of my computer.
Congrats on the new house. I just thought of this scene from Curb Your Enthusiasm:
@moondrake: Those oil heaters only need a few inches of space around them, so no ventilation is required. They just plug into an outlet and the internal heating element heats up the oil which makes the whole thing give off radiant heat. If you have them on a high setting, they can be painful to the touch, but only if you keep your hand on it for a while. Most of them will have 3 different settings that pull different amounts of electricity. If your breakers are prone to being tripped, you might be stuck with the lower (cooler) setting. I'd say go for it, they're fairly cheap these days.
Edit: to answer the OP's question. We usually have our heat at 69. (if you know what I'm sayin'...but seriously 69 degrees just feels right)
We shelled out a few bucks for a 5+2 (settings for M-F and weekends) programmable thermostat.
We keep the house at 68 in the morning and evenings when home, let it drop to 62 while at work and 64 overnight while sleeping.
We keep the bed room cozy with the previously mentioned oil filled electric radiator set on low and temp. gauge set at about 2 o'clock. On low it does not get really hot, but if you put it up on high and cranked the gauge all the way up I would be a bit leery of toddlers, but I suspect they would bug off really quickly.
We also use a heated mattress pad, which I really prefer over an electric blanket.
I grew up in a house like you're describing except with oil. Our thermostat was set 70-75 most winter days, down to 65 at night. When I later lived in a different place with similar weather but no bitter-cold wet-wind blowing off the ocean, I found that I'd roast at 70-75. "Thermostat temperature" can vary wildly from house to house depending on its location, the idiosyncrasies of your house including the locations of the vents, etc. My advice is to figure out what works for you and don't be shamed by the "number" that other people use. However, it's also worth looking at other options besides turning up the heat: can you close vents in some rooms? Even if you're inland, the wet ocean wind is awful, so think about your window coverings especially in a MCM. Silk long underwear is great; thick socks/fingerless gloves make a huge difference. Since you're new to the house, consider doing an energy audit and checking for caulking around windows, insulating outlets, door "snakes," etc.
I agree about the oil-filled radiator heaters. Even on high, you'd have to touch them for a while to get a burn. No ventilation needed, as they have no emissions. I'd watch a toddler around them, but they're prob safer than other types of portable heaters. A puppy or kitten would also bear watching, but prob be safe. You could always "fence" such a heater with a baby gate or similar. They're pretty safe, and spozed to be efficient for a heater.
Also get one of those "heat leak detector" things. A little sealing and weatherstripping can be huge.
When I had an apt in Manhattan, the building had a boiler room and hot water radiators. I grew to love the boiler sounds, and keeping my teapot warm on the radiator. :)
In the winter, when I actually have to use the heat (misplaced Michigander who landed in Texas), mine is set on 66 when I'm home and awake and 62 when I'm gone and at night. I tried setting it to 60 when I wasn't home but the cats stayed curled up in these little fuzzy balls glaring at me and refusing to leave the little nests they make with blankets on the couch or my bed. At 62 at least they glare a little little less.
about 68 while awake and 63 while sleeping. I think it's time you move to Florida.
You guys have heat? Wow! Next you're gonna tell me you have inside plumbing, too.
I'm seeing a lot of 60s here. Brrr...no thanks. 72, year round. In the summer, it runs almost non stop to combat the triple digit heat. In the winter...lol winter in Texas, the heater comes on occasionally.
What the crap is wrong with you people? 68!? Burr. We set our house to 73 while we're home. 70 during the day while we're away (wife worries about the kitties getting cold), and 68 at night for sleep.
Who wants to wear a sweater or sweatshirt when you're home!? I spend 90% of my time at home in my underpants only. The moment I get home, cloths get put away. I know what you're thinking, yes, I keep cloths on when company is over.
On average we spend $125 for Gas & Electric each month through out the year (Heater is Gas, AC is electric).
The thermostat isn't always what your house stays at, as well. It all depends on where it's located. I'm pretty sure my thermostat is in one of the warmest spots in the house.
I live in Central Florida - sometimes it freezes here. Fortunately, it hasn't for a couple of years. But, the temp does drop to the upper 30's, lower 40's during Jan. & Feb.
I keep the (electric) heat set at 65 until I can no longer afford to keep it that warm. When it gets really cold, I set it at 60 or lower (or it would never turn off). AC is set at 80 or 82 - same reason. Too expensive to run it constantly.
Am fortunate that I love hot weather - anything below 70 is freezing to me. So..when the temp drops, I add layers of clothing. Many, many layers. ;-)
The last few days it's been in the lower/mid 80's. Obviously no heat on - nor have I turned on the AC. Note: The current temp at 5PM is 82. :-D
Wiping smug look off my face. :-| Addendum to above: I think the high temp today was 84. Tomorrow's forecast - High between 61 and 65, depending on who you read/listen to. Confirmed: I will be cold tomorrow.
@bogie21 and @rprebel : Thanks for having my back on this one. All of these mid/upper 60s temps are not happening here. I get cold under 70 or so. I try to keep my thermostat set on 73 in the winter and 78 in the summer. Hot flashes from the ball-and-chain changes things occasionally, but not for long. :)
One thing everyone is overlooking- the impact on air pollution. I hate to sound like Al Gore but we can all chip in a little and stop being wasteful. And use an electric blanket so you can turn the thermostat down to 55 at night.
Depending on how cold it is outside, 68-74 during the day while we're home and 2-3 degrees cooler at night.
If you can find one, get a mercury thermometer and set it in the middle of the house. We've had a bunch of furnace installers/servicemen tell us that the thermometer on your thermostat is not right. My sister was kind of bragging that they had their thermometer set at 68. I knew she wouldn't survive at that temperature and told her to check a mercury thermometer. It said 72. We keep ours on 74 but it's really more like 72/73.
67 at night, 69 or 68 in the day. During the summer AC is set at 76-78
@tooter: move to a third world country please. Since that's how you're suggesting people live anyway.
Egads. Seems like I'm in the minority but at least I'm not alone here.
Below 72 is cold to me, and if I had my way, it'll be set to 78 year round. At work, our thermostat is set to 70 and I'm cold. Currently in a down jacket at my desk. At home, I compromise with the mister and usually do 74.
Sorry folks...I would freeze my butt off in the winter at anything below 78 and I would burn up in the summer at anything above 69!! You only live once so be comfortable!
I don't really have answer, but can tell you I live in Austin, Texas, now it is pretty cold 41degrees, my husband
is a monster and has a program thermostat controlling from his phone. Well all this winter in Austin
he has had it set at 71…..freezing, freezing when I get home from work, and at night. When summer is
here I burn up at 84 degrees. I don't know what his theory is on the thermostat but destroying our relationship .
Not to say he also has the program lock where I can not touch..
I live in an apt, and my thermostate is in auto and is set it up at 65, so it turns on when the apt feels cold and turns off automatically when feels little warmer.

I just successfully defended Redcliffe in Dragon Age Origins as a Mage. I noticed that there is some blue smoke surrounding me, but looking at my 'modifiers' the only thing I can see is 'coughing blood'. Is the blue smoke a glitch or is there something which might cause it?
"Blue smoke" sounds like the spell cleansing aura. Check your mages to see if any of them have it active.
As mentioned in another answer, they likely cast the spell because someone in the party was injured. However, my experience is that only the initial casting of the spell removes injuries, not the persistent "aura" effect which heals hit points. So if you see the aura and are still injured, you need to turn off the aura, wait for the cooldown, then cast it again with your injured party member in range in order for it to remove the injury.
Blue smoke as in you have a spell active? Can you post a screen shot? If you're coughing blood use a injury kit to heal yourself and see if the smoke goes away.
IIRC when you have certain spells active they aren't listed as under the modifiers as that's only for something that is physically affecting you i.e ice enabled, that should list there, but other spells, say spell might iirc won't.
Coughing blood is a modifier caused by an injury so it should not be related to the blue smoke. Apply a heal kit to your party member who has the coughing blood modifier and that should cure it.
It sounds like a Spirit Healer (mage) who is casting cleansing aura, however be aware that Cleansing Aura will not remove an injury on the Spirit Healer themself
For more information on injuries such as coughing blood, click here
Note that if you use a lesser injury kit instead of a normal one it will get rid of other injuries so you might want to use more than one or use a greater injury kit unless he/she only has one injury. And it might take a while before you have cleanse aura.
You have two different problems:

Hi all,
I am planning to get a new tripod & tripod head, but i need the tripod/tripod head to be fully compatible with my QRS2 (specifically, with the QRP2 Plate) so that i can leave the plate always attached to my camera.
This way i can switch between my NN5 & regular tripod head without having to change the camera plate.
I don't have any preference in any brand, my concern is solely on the compatibility of the plate (QRP2) and the clamp from the tripod head.
Any suggestion would be very much appreciated..

There are countless of hilarious youtube videos like this one here, in which you can see that the carousel causes people to be pulled outwards.
What force is actually working on them, and why does it pull them outwards (instead of for example inwards)?
Can you give me some other (notable) example of this force in everyday life?

how do you get in store pick up?
Unfortunately Target is one of those big box stores that has not picked up on store pick up. So you actually have to go there and hope they have it or you can call and ask to hold it. I don't know why they would prob get increased sales if customers could order and pay for it online and pick it up in store. Nobody likes to stand in line for 10 minutes to pay.

ROCK HILL, S.C. – After the 2014 women's tennis regular season wrapped up last Sunday, the South Atlantic Conference has announced on Tuesday its annual postseason teams and honorable mention list, as Anderson University women's tennis has placed three on the All-SAC Second Team squad and the experienced doubles tandem of senior Avery Owens and junior Karen Ching was named to the All-SAC Second Team.
The conference honor is the fifth by Owens, being named to three postseason all-conference teams and two preseason all-conference honors. Owens and Ching polished off the season with a 9-6 record at No. 1, highlighted by a 7-3 mark against SAC opponents. From March 1-April 4, the duo won seven of its eight doubles matches in the span, including four matches against SAC rivals. With the postseason honor, this marks the second straight year the tandem has been named to the second-team doubles list.
Owens and Ching were also named to the second team doubles squad, as Owens concluded her final regular season in the Black and Gold with an even 8-8 record and 7-4 in the conference. After struggling at the No. 1 slot, Owens made the switch to No. 2 where she finished 8-3. Ching, who moved up to No. 1, finished 6-5 at the position and 8-7 overall.
Joining the pair on the second team was freshman Rebecca Bruning who finished the year with a team-high 13 wins at the No. 3 position, while going a perfect 10-0 in the SAC. The Athens, Ga. native won 12 of her 13 matches in straight sets, and capped off the regular season with a three-set win over Queens' Melissa Laing who the SAC Freshman of the Year Award.
The Trojan trio looks to lead AU at this week's SAC Tournament, as fifth-seeded Anderson squares off with fourth-seeded Newberry in the opening round. First serve from the Rock Hill Tennis Center is slated for 10 a.m.

I'm going to install Ubuntu on my other PC, but the thing is that after installing Ubuntu it's going to update more than 208 MB and I don't want to update 208 MB after installation. Is there any way that I can download an already-updated Ubuntu 11.10 ISO?
Only the LTS releases get point release updates, so no, you can't get an already updated 11.10 image.
follow this link to reach a web page describing 3 main options available for solving your problem.
My preference would be to use AptonCd as described in the link above. You would need to build your "master" system with the packages and updates that you want. You would then use AptonCd to create a backup of your packages and save them to some storage medium. You would then use the 11.10 ISO to install the base version of Oneric and then install AptOnCD and do a restore from the backup that you made. Packages should be restored to /var/cache/apt/archives. You would then need to run:
Take a nice Starbucks break and then come back in an hour or two and it should be done.
There are three options to download the packages only once:
1) Use the 11.10 CD and refuse to update. This will give you 11.10 pre-updates, and is best if your network connection is slow or flaky.
2) Use a pre-release 12.04 build. This is not recommended if you are unwilling to put up with the very likely breakage in pre-release software.
3) Use the Minimal Install ( https://help.ubuntu.com/community/Installation/MinimalCD ) or NetInstall 11.10 options. This will give you a current 11.10, and will reduce your total download considerably, though the total install time may not be shorter. You need a reliable network connection for this to work.

I focus more on reputation than badges, what about you guys?
What is meta?
- Any Stack Exchange user can ask a question
- The community provides support, votes on ideas, and reports bugs
- Your voice helps shape the way Stack Exchange operates
I care about giving good answers, and learning from other people's answers (and questions). The rest is window dressing; sure it helps keep me competitive, but I don't care about it.
With my ♦ hat on, I also care about trying to keep the dross off the site; we seem to do OK on that front, with lots of help from the community flagging and editing (cheers guys).
caveat: of course, if I could get that darned reversal...
I find myself caring neither about badges or points, but I do find I care a very great deal about downvotes, especially on subjective questions (I mean seriously, that just doesn't make sense).
Strange that negative motivation affect me more. Perhaps that's something I should worry about. But then, who has the time?
I like it when I get a badge for the first time; I remember being excited when I finally got my first Enlightened badge nearly a year ago. But the novelty wears off. I think I got yet another one in the last week or two, but I couldn't say for sure.
And tag badges represent quite an accomplishment, so if I ever got another, I would be happy about it.
However, I have become much less active than I used to be, mainly because I have much less time for SO than I had before. At 20k, I don't need points anyway, but I still get a little thrill from the competition. I'd like to get back onto page 2 if I can.
I fundamentally agree with Marc and annakata's answers, but between badges and rep... I like milestones of any variety.
A gold badge is always a milestone. A silver tag badge is a bit of a milestone in that it's something new. 100K rep was a milestone, as was 1000 badges total. Finally getting the Fanatic badge will be a nice milestone, when it happens.
The next "numbers" milestone I'm idly contemplating is 1000 bronze badges, partly because I want to see what the display will do. I'm not really sure what comes after that :(
Pure rep isn't particularly interesting now, although "rep gained per day without bounty" is an interesting challenge. I think my record is 468. It would be nice to get to 500, but that's really, really tough.
Points definitely, badges come along. I mean, a great answer will give you more points than a lame answer, and you'll get a golden badge in the process.
The tag badges have been my focus for a while (though my "focus" is often pretty hazy). They're really hard to get, even the silver ones, especially in less-popular areas of the site (ie. not C#/.NET/Java/PHP). And the only way to get them is to provide lots of really good answers.
I finally got the "git" and "svn" silver tag badges a few weeks ago, but my next one is a ways off still (I don't even recall which is next, that's how hazy my focus is!).
Of course, if you're Jon Skeet then you can get weird badges like "string" without even trying. :)
Focusing on reputation at the broadest level seems to be pointless if you're competing with anyone but yourself. Jon Skeet et al are essentially impossible to catch even for us in the top 50 unless they completely stop participating for a year or so.
Consequently, I try to focus on being a top contributor in my areas of expertise (.NET & ASP.NET if anyone's curious). This also is slightly more meaningful than pure "rep" - it's well-established that reputation points alone is not indicative of any technical ability - just participation. But evidence shows that people who are not strong in a given category (say, c#) cannot break onto the stats page for that tag. People who are very strong in that topic - and are generally helpful, kind and good teachers - dominate the stats page. It's a challenge to maintain, but an honor for me to be listed alongside such people.
It would be nice to get enough rep to be able to edit questions or answers every time I see a typo (that happens fairly often). But it's a very high number, so I'm just forgetting about both rep and badges and just answering questions when I happen to know the answer.
For me, rep is important, because you need certain amounts of rep to do certain things. Badges are just window dressing as far as I'm concerned. (Although, it is nice to get them.)
badges were cool for the first 500 rep points; after that it became too difficult to tell where they came from so now they all get ignored [was that part of your design, @Jeff? ;-)]
rep matters most: badges are shiny, but rep gives you powers beyond belief!
Both. Helping and learning is the key part of hanging around in SO. But tbh, I do care about anything that boosts my programmer's ego - that includes even a 'thank you' comment from the OP. Now that I've 2K reps but just 9 bronze badges, I'm keen on getting my first silver badge. They are hard to earn unless you are concentrating on popular badges. My domain is flash/flex and most of flashers and flexers hang out in actionscript.org, flashkit and other flash specific forums. How about this - I'm considering learning regex/javascript/php to boost my reps in SO? Did I just hear "man, get a life"?

I'm using Pro Tools' comping feature to use pieces of multiple takes. Can I make Pro Tools automatically create crossfades on the transition points between regions?
migrated from avp.stackexchange.com Jan 27 '14 at 15:07
This question came from our site for engineers, producers, editors, and enthusiasts spanning the fields of video, and media creation.
Yes, if you have your comped playlist, just drag selecting the whole thing (triple click with selector tool will highlight all the regions in the playlist - first to last) then hit command-F.
Now, regardless of if the points actually hit on the right places, seems to me that it's a bit dangerous to do so. I find that the safest place to create a crossfade would be in the middle of words, next to plosives or T's, etc. (not nasal or long open vowels). Doing crossfades between words of different takes usually becomes really apparent - either the singer stood away of the microphone on that particular take, or he/she is more tired (say, first take of the day and last as an extreme example). the time you'd spend re tweeking could be longer than creating the fades on the right place first time around?
I might be misunderstanding the question, but to automatically create fades, simply highlight any regions you want included, and hit command-f. The regions need to be touching obviously. Hope this helps.

3.0 TDI APR Software Is HERE!!Posted on February 11, 2013 – 10:19 am
Achtuning is pleased to announce APR's release of the ultimate ECU Upgrade for the 3.0 TDI!!
After months of long nights and many hours of testing, developing and more testing, APR is pleased to offer you an ECU recalibration that is second to none. APR's extensive research and development provides you with a powerful ECU upgrade with no loss of drivability or reliability. Expect faster acceleration, improved accelerator response and more torque across the entire power band.
APR's 3.0 TDI ECU Upgrade is an expertly recalibrated engine management control strategy that increases horsepower and torque to provide smooth and reliable operation as if intended by the OEM. APR's ECU Upgrade is developed to work within the OEM and Tier 1 Supplier specifications for engine component stress tolerances and performance specifications. APR's patented EMCS functionality puts the control of the engine's operation at your finger tips and allows for additional features and options to be installed to your OEM ECU.
APR Stage I ECU Upgrade
The APR Stage I ECU Upgrade gives you higher peak numbers of 261 HP and 452 FT-LBS of torque. As much as 34 HP and 40 FT-LBS of torque are available through the power band. At 5,000+ lbs., acceleration from a complete stop is challenging. However increasing low-end torque with APR's Stage I ECU Upgrade, the 3.0 TDI will accelerate with minimal effort. Furthermore power normally drops dramatically from 3,500 RPM to redline, but with APR's Stage I ECU Upgrade, power is dramatically increased making merging and passing on the highway easier. APR's ECU Upgrade is the best power per dollar modification for the new 3.0 TDI and gives it just the extra edge these cars lack from the factory without pushing the limits. With factory-like smoothness and drivability, APR's ECU upgrade will fill the void in an otherwise excellent car.
Acceleration Enhancements:
Beyond power and torque enhancements, APR's Calibration Engineers were able to increase the vehicles acceleration rate through other calibrations changes. Takeoff limiters are reduced resulting in a more responsive pedal without altering overall throttle pedal sensitivity.
Increased Fuel Economy:
APR's Calibration Engineers paid close attention to several parameters directly related to fuel economy, especially while cruising at highway speeds. Depending on your driving style and fuel quality, you may see better miles per gallon!
Speed Limiter Removed:
APR's ECU upgrade increases the vehicle's top speed limiter for blistering sprints around the track or across the Autobahn without the speed limiter shutting down your fun!
Left Foot Braking:
APR's Left Foot Braking feature allows more control over the vehicle's throttle. The factory equipped 3.0 TDI's throttle input is disabled while pressing the accelerator and brake at the same time. Left Foot Braking, a common motorsport driving technique, allows the driver complete control over the vehicle's throttle and braking system, which may give the vehicle the edge it needs at the track. As is with all features APR adds to the ECU, this feature may be removed upon request.

APR EMCS Programs and Features
APR's patented EMCS, Enhanced Modular Chipping System, brings selectable programs and features to your factory ECU, all without the need to purchase external hardware. Other companies have attempted to imitate EMCS with clumsy external switching devices that only replace or multiply portions of a "base" calibration. However, EMCS has the ability to completely rewrite the entire operating map data, giving each map a complete set of calibration changes. APR's EMCS features and programs modes are activated via your OEM cruise control buttons. Your cruise control will continue to function as normal.
Program Switching:
Program switching allows the user to cycle though different engine calibrations and operating modes all without the need for external hardware.
Stock Mode:
By selecting stock mode, the ECU calibration is reset to the factory calibration. The engine will run exactly as it did before purchasing APR software.
APR Performance Mode:
By selecting performance mode, the APR's performance calibration is enabled giving you all the benefits APR software has to offer!
Fault Code Erase:
Fault code erase allows the user to erase and reset engine related trouble codes and ECU adaptation data without using a specialty tool.
How to use APR EMCS Programs and Features
To Enable EMCS:
Turn the ignition and cruise control to the on position. Do not start the engine.
To Cycle through APR Programs:
Hold "SET" on the cruise control stalk. The check engine light will blink in sets of one to four blinks to indicate programs one through four. Release "SET" during this sequence to select a program. The vehicle may be started.
To use Fault Code Erase:
Hold "RESUME" on the cruise control stalk. The check engine light will begin to blink. Release "RESUME" when the check engine light is flashing in groups of one blink per second. Fault Codes will be cleared.
The APR Development Difference
APR ECU Explorer:
APR's proprietary ECU Explorer gives APR's Calibration Engineers unparalleled access to the vehicle's entire engine management system. Typical commercially available data logging tools, used by most tuners, only allow logging up to 12 engine-operating variables at extremely low data rates. These tools are also limited to a small, specific list of variables. APR's ECU Explorer is capable of logging every variable found within the ECU. It's capable of logging well over 100 variables at once with data rates as high as 100 samples per second. Synchronous data logging is available for fine-tuning.
APR ECU Composer with APR Live Tuning:
APR's proprietary ECU Composer is used for altering the engine management system. With full access to every table, map and variable within the ECU, APR's Calibration Engineers are not limited to a handful of maps as is common for most tuning companies. ECU Composer takes calibration to a new level on the 3.0 TDI with APR's Live Tuning. APR's Calibration Engineers can test calibration changes with a single click of a button to instantly monitor the changes, rather than spending several minutes shutting down the vehicle to reflash the ECU. This allows a level of fine-tuning unmatched in the market.
APR ECU Assembly:
APR's Electrical Engineers have the ability to alter the code structure of the ECU to add features not available from the factory. On the highly modified end, this allows APR to increase torque levels as if intended by the OEM. For most 3.0 TDI owners, the advantage of this ability is the addition of APR's patented EMCS Functions. EMCS puts the control of the engine's operation at your fingertips and allows for additional features and options to be installed to your ECU.

Most Likely To Secede T-Shirt for $12.64
Let's face it. Texas is definitely the most likely state to secede. Whether or not they'll succeed at seceding we'll just have to find out, but with all of the talk in the news and about Gov. Perry, we just had to run a shirt about it.... So pick one up today to remember this moment in history. (Apparently Texas has a right to secede?)
Shipping is $3.95.

to funny!
*too funny! (sorry)
I live in Texas. While the right to secede is in Texas's state constitution, it doesn't actually make it legally possible. It is a common misconception among Texans, and other Americans, though.
Suggested new name: Amurkastan
(Apparently Texas has a right to stupidity?)
Anythings possible champ... "legal" doesnt mean anything if the institution of the Union isnt recognized, hence legal secession
I'm from Texas also. I doubt there's much chance of secession ever happening, but I believe Texas' technological and natural resources mean we're one of few states that could successfully do it. We have oil, gas, agriculture, semiconductor, automotive, and plenty of square miles (bigger than Germany). We even manufacture fighter jets and missiles here.
Who knows what the world wil look like twenty years from now?
Texas has no 'right to secede' recognized by the Federales. However, they do have the power to split into 5 separate states per their original annexation agreement (which would let them pick up 8 additional senators). They're also the only state in the union which may fly their state flag at the same height as the national flag.
(I no longer live in Texas, but remain a Texan in heart).
Too which I say "good luck getting by without the rest of us", and of course - "don't let the door hit you on the way out".
What we don't have is amber waves of grain. As long as we can't feed our millions succession is just a dream.
As a 5th or 6th generation Texan the only way I would approve is if the state were divided and all the morons moved there. Possible name would be Dumf*kistan.
Funny shirt and humor made possible by years of not investing in education.
Heck you could call your new country Gohmertville ! Nasty looking shirt by the way.

Frequently Asked Questions
Frequently Asked Questions
Bookings & Check-In
Be sure to book to secure your caving tour by booking in advance.
Our trips are popular and bookings are recommended, especially in the summer months.
To secure the most suitable departure time(s), make your booking early.
Check-in time is 30 minutes prior to the scheduled departure time.
Photo Policy - Free Photos!
We provide a basic photo service. Our guides take photos on basic cameras and these are provided to clients via internet at no extra charge.
However, please be aware that the focus of our activities is on adventure, not photography.
We have found that the flow of these activities becomes disrupted if clients take their own camera gear.
One person's photographic dream can be at the expense of others in the group who just want to enjoy their adventure.
There are also safety issues e.g. where loose gear could fall and become damaged or even injure someone.
For all these reasons, no client photography equipment is permitted on any activities.
This includes no cameras; no videos; no Go-Pros etc.
If you are a professional photographer and really want to take photos with your own gear, then you can talk to us about arranging an exclusive trip for this purpose.
We can sometimes arrange specialist photo-trips with no other clients. These are usually conducted during our low tourism season (May through September).
Photo-trips follow the same route through the cave that a normal trip follows. However, there is less time spent on appreciating the cave and more time spent on trying to get good photos.
In any case, you are welcome to take your camera to the very start of the activity, but will have to leave it behind in the lockers before you head underground.
Your understanding and cooperation are much appreciated!
What to Bring
This depends of which activity you select as follows:
TumuTumu ToObing
: swimwear, long thick socks (suitable for bush walking); a towel & toiletries for a shower afterwards
Haggas Honking Holes
: swimwear, long thick socks (suitable for bush walking); a towel & toiletries for a shower afterwards
Lost World 4 Hour Option
: loose fitting, comfortable adventure clothing (NOT Jeans) and long thick socks (suitable for bush walking).
Lost World & Hour Epic
: swimwear, long thick socks (suitable for bush walking); a towel & toiletries for a shower afterwards
St Benedicts Caverns
: loose fitting, comfortable adventure clothing (NOT Jeans) and long thick socks (suitable for bush walking).
You just need to arrive in your ordinary street clothes, but have these items with you. We have changing facilities at all our cave sites.
Pricing & Cancellation Policy
Prices are GST (tax)
and also include the use of all necessary equipment (except the minimal "you need" items).
You will be asked to supply a credit card number to secure your activity booking.
Cancellation earlier than 24 hours prior
to your scheduled departure time incurs no cancellation fees, i.e. they are FREE, UNLESS you have booked an Early Bird deal which is not refundable.
Cancellations later than 24-hours prior
to your booked trip will result in your credit card being charged with 25% of the booking value.
We therefore recommend that you do not book an EarlyBird deal unless you are sure that you want it and there will be no changes.
If you are having any sort of problem getting to us on time,
contact us on freephone 0800 WAITOMO (0800 924866) as soon as possible. This could save you cancellation fees and we will help with rescheduling etc where possible.
If you simply fail to turn up for check in of your booked trip, 100% of the value will be charged to your credit card.
Children & Minimum Numbers of Participants
Older Children are welcome on our activities subject to the minimum ages given in Table "A" below.
Any children under 15 years of age must be accompanied by a parent, guardian or mature adult known to the child who is aged 18 years and over.
It is critical that any child is sufficiently mature and responsible enough to follow the instructions of the guide.
Minimum Numbers
There are minimum numbers specified in order for any departure of our activities to take place. These are given in Table "A" below.

Singapore's First "SideShow" Gadget on the ASUS WP5e
- Posted: Jun 24, 2007 at 11:34PM
- 5,146 views
Right click "Save as…"
We got our hands on an ASUS W5Fe with the new built-in "SideShow" device and we were curious to see who in Singapore can be the first to build a SideShow app. Well, our friends at Advanced Interactive Technologies (AIT) took up the challenge and as of this video, they are the FIRST IN SINGAPORE (and probably all of SE Asia) to build an app on a SideShow device.
In this video, KC Chung (Developer at AIT) and Chewy Chong (Developer Evangelist) checks out the Singapore Weather SideShow gadget which allows us to check the weather from the NEA through the SideShow device without the computer to be on. KC also provides a "how to get started" document plus all his source code for you to start building on the SideShow device.
You don't need a physical device as the SideShow SDK includes an emulator and it is surprisingly easy to get started. Make sure you check out KC's notes on how you can get started on SideShow!
You can download the notes on:
There's also a great Ch9 screencast on SideShow gadgets from Daniel Moth here:
Oops, something didn't work.

Wimdu customer service was excellent. The host took a long time (worryingly so) to get in touch but the key pick up and service at the office was easy enough but it's 24 blocks south of the apartment. The apartment itself is in need of redecorating or the photos updating. The plug sockets in the kitchen trip out so we had to plug the kettle in under the dining area table! Bedsheets were old and one of my friends found a hair in the bed before she had slept in it :-( location perfect and close to delis bars restaurants and Starbucks. Water always hot for showers. Bath mat and spares would have been helpful having 7 people for one bathroom
The photo of the living room and rooms in no way corresponds to the apartment.
The heat is unbearable loud air conditioning does not compensate.
The arrival of a bed breaks; earth with mattress we slept, the living room table cassee also ... we leave in front of the open door latch lq qvec a knife (the previous tenants had left near the door !!!)
Cleanliness of the apartment questionable ....
only interest very well location
La photo du salon et des chambres ne correspond en rien a l'appartement.
Le chauffage est insupportable que la climatisation assourdissante ne compense pas.
Des l'arrivee :un lit casse ; on a dormi matelas par terre ,la table du salon cassee aussi ...on sort en devant ouvrir le loquet de lq porte qvec un couteau (que les occupants precedents ont laisse pres de la porte !!!)
Proprete de l'appart douteuse ....
seul interet emplacement tres bien
Very beautiful studio, a bit noisy. Ideal neighborhood.
Bathrooms 70s.
Located on the 5th floor (4th in reality) it is not recommended for the elderly.
High price for the services provided.
Trés beau studio, un peu bruyant. Quartier idéal.
Salle de bain des années 70.
Situé au 5ième étage (4ième en réalité) il n'est pas recommandé aux personnes agées.
Prix élevé pour les prestations fournies.
We had some great days in the apartment. Very central situated, but the place is also very noisy. The bedrooms and kitchen were fine. The bathrooms did the job but are well used. The cleaning could have been better. The layout of the apartment (formerly two apartments) was strange with a door between the two bathrooms as the only connection (besides the staircase) between one of the bedrooms and the rest of the apartment.
The apartment was well not very clean, but very poor communication and away, and had 4 TVs do not work no, we tried to contact daily with Wimdu and nobody solves the problem just giving lengthen.
We were 6 people and our opinion is negative at all, the attention of Wimdu and owner.
Group 6
El apartamento estaba bien no muy limpio, pero muy mala comunicación y lejos, y habia 4 televisores que no funcionan ninguna, intentamos ponernos en contacto a diario con Wimdu y nadie soluciono el problema solo dando alargas.
Fuimos 6 personas y nuestra opinion es negativa del todo, la atención de Wimdu y del propietario.
Grupo de 6
House lived up to expectations. For a large group very comfortably. There was some small hitch: the shower handle remained in his hand and the door is half smashed, but this did not affect the success of the trip! The central location then helped a lot as it allowed many moves and also is well stocked by all the services: shops, supermarkets, metro, restaurants ...
Casa all'altezza delle aspettative. Per un gruppo numeroso molto confortevole. Qualche piccolo intoppo c'è stato: la maniglia della doccia rimaneva in mano e la porta d'ingresso è mezza sfondata, ma questo non ha influito sulla buona riuscita del viaggio! La centralità della posizione poi ha aiutato parecchio in quanto ha permesso numerosi spostamenti e inoltre è ben fornito da tutti i servizi: negozi, supermercati, metro, ristoranti...
If you like city break is the perfect opportunity
Located perfectly in the heart of New York. Walking distance to Macy's and the Empire and central park.
Penthouse with nice location.
Topp leilighet med fin beliggenhet.
We have been subjected to the cancellation. To the extent any missing information and got our booking in place the day before the trip to NY. Please read dozens of e-mails

Vi har været udsat for aflysning. I den grad manglende information, og fået vores booking på plads dagen før rejse til NY. Venligst læs dusinvis af mails

I really liked the place I selected. HOWEVER, On the day before we flew I was informed by "Mo" that the place I selected and paid for was "unavailable". He gave me the option of a VERY DIRTY APARTMENT THAT BASICALLY SUCKED ASS. There was mildew all over the bathroom. It was as if it had never been cleaned. I was there for 10 days and didn't feel clean once the entire time. There was space for six really dirty people to sleep, but GUESS WHAT? There are only two of us!!! So all the space was wasted. The TV service didn't work at all and yes, I was in NYC, but there are times I need to look at the news to see what's happening. THAT wasn't possible. There was crap left from previous tenants and I suppose from the owners of this dump. IT WAS BAIT AND SWITCH!!! I frikking hated every second I was in this stupid disease ridden dump.

WATKINS GLEN, N.Y. � You can�t wipe the smile off the face of Dale Earnhardt Jr., not even at a road course.
With five races before the Chase for the Sprint Cup championship begins, Earnhardt is in unfamiliar territory as the series gets set for the second and final road race of the season at Watkins Glen International on Sunday � he�s perched atop the points standings.
A year ago at The Glen, Earnhardt was 10th, just one point ahead of eventual champion Tony Stewart. The top 10 drivers in the points and two wild-card teams will qualify for NASCAR�s version of a postseason.
�Coming here in 10th place just trying to hang on to a spot in the Chase is really, really tough, especially for someone like myself who is more cold than hot (here),� Earnhardt said Friday as he waited for a steady rain to stop so Cup practice could begin. �We�ve had good tests. We�re feeling positive about our chances of having a good run.
�We struggled at Sonoma, and we struggled in our test earlier in the season, too,� said Earnhardt, who qualified 19th and came home 23rd on the circuit�s other road course in June. �We kept working at it and made a lot of gains, gained a lot of speed. I�m excited to see how it�s going to pay off this weekend. I feel pretty confident we�ll be able to put up an effort we can be proud of.�
Earnhardt, who has nine top-five finishes and 15 top-10s, leads Matt Kenseth by a scant five points, with Greg Biffle another point back and five-time Cup champion Jimmie Johnson only eight points behind. Because of his impressive consistency this year, Earnhardt finds himself in a unique spot.
�We can take gambles. It is real tight,� Earnhardt said of the top four in points. �We could walk out of here in fifth pretty easily if things were to go bad for us. I know that going in. I�ve prepared myself mentally for all things. You have to.�
In 12 starts at Watkins Glen, Earnhardt has qualified in the top 10 three times � he qualified 16th Saturday for Sunday�s race � but still is seeking the first road course win of his career. He has two top-five finishes and three top-10s at The Glen.
The rain forced NASCAR to push back Cup practice until late afternoon and Earnhardt only was 28th fastest.
�This race you can kind of just throw it all out there,� Earnhardt said. �We were really conservative all year long, and we feel like we can definitely, in the position we�re in, gamble a lot more ... to try to win races like a lot of these guys do. We just kind of played it safe to make sure we were going to make the Chase. That�s the first thing. You don�t want to miss the Chase being foolish.
�If we fall back in points because we made a few mistakes or a gamble that didn�t pay off, it�s no big deal. We know the kind of season that we�ve had. We�ve got a lot to be proud of. I think mentally we can go into the Chase pretty excited about our chances. Hopefully, we can make some of those gambles pay off.�
Earnhardt left Indianapolis Motor Speedway two weeks ago with the points lead after a fourth-place finish. It was his best career finish at the venerable track, where he often has struggled. Earnhardt said he was proud of that and called it symbolic of how well the team has done.
His enthusiasm appears unbridled. When Earnhardt�s consistency was stopped last week at Pocono by a faulty transmission, as soon as he pulled into the garage for repairs he jumped out and began jacking up his No. 88 Chevy before his crew arrived.
�I�ve always worked on cars,� Earnhardt said. �I got back to the garage first, and I knew my guys were moments away, but they weren�t there just yet. I thought that we needed to get back out as fast as we could. I thought I could cut some time off that process by getting the car up so that when they got there they could get right under it. I know my way around the shop, so it felt natural to me.�
Earnhardt, who had finished on the lead lap of every race this season to tie Jeff Gordon�s NASCAR mark of 21 in a row, finished 32nd, 18 laps behind winner Gordon, his Hendrick Motorsports teammate.
The four-time champion didn�t see Earnhardt�s expertise with the jack. He was impressed nonetheless.
�I would never have done that,� Gordon said. �It just tells you he knows enough about the cars that he felt like it was a linkage that could get fixed quick, and the team wasn�t prepared for it. He was just trying to give them a little head start.�
To be considered a legitimate championship contender, it�s all about wins, especially in the Chase. Earnhardt is well aware of that, and those special moments have been scarce since he won a career-high six races in 2004.
Earnhardt had lost 76 races in a row when he won at Michigan four years ago, and his victory at Michigan this year snapped a winless streak of 143 races.
Still, despite that lone victory this year, he figures to be a factor until season�s end.
�Barring any catastrophe, as long as we don�t have the same thing that happened last week happen every week, we should find our way into the Chase,� Earnhardt said. �That�s been a big load off our shoulders ... and not have to worry about anything too far out into the future. We can just forget about the Chase for a moment, concentrate on being fast, concentrate on what we�re doing ... try to find more speed and enjoy it.
�I�ve had fun all year. That�s a good feeling.�

Unanswered: Native packaging an ST2 app for simulator or device
I have now tried for the past 12 weeks to try to achieve this which I was hoping was pretty simple, but no luck and no useful response to prior posts. Going thru dozens of hints from other posts I made little steps but at some point I got new problems or error messages.
Isn't there a guide or some piece of documentation that describes with a small sample what has to be done to package an app and run it on an iPhone for example?
So far I was able to package my app and load it onto my iPhone (via iTunes). The app starts but that is it. When I press a button nothing happens (when I run the app via Safari or Chrome everything is fine, so I assume that something gets broken in the conversion process).
So I thought that I try to build the app for the iOS simulator but that results in new errors, like:
/Users/xx/bin/Sencha/Cmd/220.127.116.11/sencha app build native /Users/xx/Sites/st2/app/simulator.json Sencha Cmd v184.108.40.206 [ERROR] Unable to locate 'app.dir' config property from sencha.cfg [ERROR] Please ensure this command was executed from a valid application directory [ERROR] Non-appliaction directory
Another thing I tried (from some Sencha recommendation), which resulted in an error as well:
/Users/xx/bin/Sencha/Cmd/18.104.22.168/sencha ant native build /Users/xx/Sites/st2/app/simulator.json Sencha Cmd v220.127.116.11 [ERROR] java.io.FileNotFoundException: /Users/xx/bin/Sencha/Cmd/18.104.22.168/build.xml (No such file or directory)

Issue Date:
June, 2011
The June 2011 issue of Health Care News reports on President Barack Obama's plans to strengthen one of the more controversial boards created under his health care law, the Independent Payment Advisory Board (IPAB).
Also in this issue:
- Louisiana Gov. Bobby Jindal has announced his state will not create a health insurance exchange mandated by the Patient Protection and Affordable Care Act.
- Analysts say states will have little power over the exchanges if they choose to implement them. * Obamacare-mandated medical loss ratios are further pinching already-struggling insurers.
- Lack of transparency from the Obama administration frustrates Capitol Hill as subpoenas go out for documentation about meetings that took place as Obamacare was being developed.
- Ohio Gov. John Kasich is pursuing a budget-cutting reform package.
- North Carolina Gov. Beverly Perdue refuses to make public employees contribute to their own health coverage.
- Now that Obama's plan is law, the CEO of Starbucks realizes the employer mandate he supported is bad for business.

The Paul and Kate Farmer English Journal Writing Awards are given to authors of the best articles published in English Journal during the previous volume year. Eligible entrants must be high school teachers and may include those on leave or not currently teaching.
2013 Award Commiteee
Chair: Alan BrownCommittee: Kim Parker, Janis Mottern-High, Steve Heller, Larry Butti, Amy Magnafichi Lucas
2013 Winners
Michael Thier, for "Cultural Awareness Logs: A Method for Increasing International-Mindedness among High School and Middle School Students"In this article, Thier demonstrates the use of Cultural Awareness Logs (CALs) for investigating various literary texts and world cultures within the English classroom. With a focus on CALs and American anthropologist Edward T. Hall's cultural iceberg, teachers can push students beyond unwarranted cultural stereotypes toward a more genuine consideration of intercultural empathy and the complexities of difference. This analytical method will make a great addition to every English teacher's pedagogical tool belt. English Journal, July 2013
Chris Gilbert, for "Changing the Lens: The Necessity of Visual Literacy in the ELA Classroom" Gilbert makes the case for visual literacy as a pedagogical approach for critically consuming the countless images that students encounter on a daily basis (e.g., the images of raced and classed narratives presented in this article), and it is this article for which he wins the Farmer Award. However, Gilbert also authored a second excellent article, "The Quest of Father and Son: Illuminating Character Identity, Motivation, and Conflict in Cormac McCarthy's The Road," in which he describes an archetypal inquiry unit that engages students in meaningful character analysis through an examination of Cormac McCarthy's The Road. This combination of articles will encourage both teachers and students alike to reflect upon their interactions with the characters of their own personal everyday lives. English Journal, March 2013
Honorable Mention
Steffany Comfort Maher, for "Using To Kill a Mockingbird as a Conduit for Teaching about the School-to-Prison Pipeline"In this article, Maher uses a response-based cultural studies approach to examine four components of the school-to-prison pipeline: single parent homes, lynching and racial discrimination, the criminal justice system, and poverty. Through a reading of Harper Lee's To Kill a Mockingbird, readers will discover a useful method for engaging students in important discussions on contemporary social issues and interrogations of racial inequality. English Journal, March 2013
Jim Burke, for "Generating Minds"In this article, Burke offers suggestions for fostering creativity in the classroom while encouraging students to generate innovative ideas through various forms of representation, discussion, reading, writing, and other cross-disciplinary approaches. In an age when creativity is sometimes hidden behind more privileged curricular components, the idea of allowing students to create, generate, and inhabit new spaces in the English classroom is both timely and stimulating.

It's easy to see that the descending central series of a group induces a graded Lie algebra .(see for example Serre's Harvard lectures or Magnus-Solitar book). I think in general this can be complicated, but this should be well-known:
What is the structure of this Lie algebra for the symmetric group?

Investigators say 61-year-old Bryon Armstrong threatened a woman with a shotgun at his Otoe residence Jan. 24.
Armstrong did not give a statement to investigators regarding the incident, but Chief Deputy Mike Holland said Armstrong had recently lost his girlfriend to cancer and argued that morning with her daughter who had been staying at the house.
"Emotions had been running high inside the household," Holland said.
Armstrong is charged with terroristic threats and use of weapon to commit a felony.
The woman called 911 saying a man was in her house and had pointed a shotgun at her. She retreated to an upstairs bedroom.
Sheriff deputies arriving at the scene at the 413 First Street were met by the relatives the woman had called for help after dialing 911. The woman was found unharmed and the shotgun was found inside of the house.
Deputies learned Armstrong had fled the house running toward the south portion of the village.
Nebraska City police officers and Nebraska state troopers joined in a search that included a wooded area on the east side of the mud drag track.
Armstrong was found inside a friend's house and surrendered without incident.

Flu and People with Asthma
What is Asthma?
Asthma is a lung disease that is caused by chronic inflammation of the airways. It is one of the most common long-term diseases of children, but adults can have asthma, too. Asthma attacks occur when the lung airways become swollen and tighten due to airway inflammation. Asthma attacks can be caused by "triggers" such as airway infections, allergy particles, chemical irritants, and air pollution. During an attack, people with asthma experience symptoms such as wheezing, breathlessness, chest tightness, and nighttime or early morning coughing. Often, asthma attacks can be prevented by limiting one's exposure to triggers and by properly using asthma medications.
People with Asthma Are at High Risk of Severe Disease and Complications from Flu
Though people with asthma are not more likely to get the flu, influenza (flu) can be more serious for people with asthma, even if their asthma is mild or their symptoms are well-controlled by medication. This is because people with asthma have swollen and sensitive airways, and influenza can cause further inflammation of the airways and lungs. Influenza infection in the lungs can trigger asthma attacks and a worsening of asthma symptoms. It also can lead to pneumonia and other acute respiratory diseases. In fact, adults and children with asthma are more likely to develop pneumonia after getting sick with the flu than people who do not have asthma. Asthma is the most common medical condition among children hospitalized with the flu and one of the more common medical conditions among hospitalized adults. For information about underlying health conditions in reported flu hospitalizations, see the FluView Interactive application.
If You Have Asthma, You Need to Take Steps to Fight the Flu
- Everyone with asthma who is six months and older should get a flu vaccine to protect against getting the flu.
- Vaccination is the first and most important step in protecting against influenza. Even if you don't have a regular doctor or nurse, you can get a flu vaccine.
- Flu vaccines are offered in many locations including doctors' offices, clinics, health departments, pharmacies, college health centers and increasingly by a number of employers and public schools.
- Which flu vaccine should people with asthma get?
- Flu shots (made with inactivated (killed) flu virus) are approved for use in people 6 months and older regardless of whether or not they have asthma or other health conditions.
- The flu shot has a long established safety record in people with asthma.
- Nasal spray vaccine: The nasal spray vaccine is approved for use in people 2 through 49 years of age.
- Children 2 years through 4 years who have asthma or who have had a history of wheezing in the past 12 months should not get the nasal spray vaccine.
- People of any age with asthma might be at increased risk for wheezing after getting the nasal spray flu vaccine. This should be considered a precaution for the use of LAIV.
- Also, the safety of the nasal spray flu vaccine in people with lung disease and some other high risk conditions has not been established.
- Flu shots (made with inactivated (killed) flu virus) are approved for use in people 6 months and older regardless of whether or not they have asthma or other health conditions.
- Pneumococcal infections are a serious complication of influenza infections and can cause death. Pneumococcal vaccines may be given at the same time as influenza vaccine.
- Take everyday preventive actions to stop the spread of flu:
- Stay home when you are sick, except to get medical care. Stay away from other people who are sick.
- Cover your nose and mouth with a tissue when coughing or sneezing and throw the tissue away. If you do not have a tissue, cough or sneeze into your elbow or shoulder not your bare hands;
- Wash your hands often with soap and water, especially after coughing or sneezing;
- Avoid touching your eyes, nose, or mouth (germs are spread that way); and
- Clean and disinfect frequently touched surfaces at home, work or school, especially when someone is ill.
- Follow an updated, written
Asthma Action Plan developed with your doctor.
- Follow this plan for daily treatment to control asthma long-term and to handle worsening asthma, or attacks.
- If your child has asthma, make sure that his or her up-to-date written Asthma Action Plan is on file at school or at the daycare center. Be sure that the plan and medication(s) are easy to get to when needed.
- If you do get sick with flu symptoms, call your doctor and take flu antiviral drugs if your doctor recommends them.
- Treatment should begin as soon as possible because antiviral drug treatment works best when started early (within 48 hours after symptoms start).
- Antiviral drugs can make your flu illness milder and make you feel better faster. They may also prevent serious health problems that can result from flu illness.
- Oseltamivir (Tamiflu®) is an antiviral drug that can be used to treat flu. To get oseltamivir (Tamiflu®), a doctor needs to write a prescription. This medicine fights against the flu by keeping flu viruses from making more viruses in your body.
- People with asthma should not use zanamivir (Relenza®), a different antiviral drug, because there is a risk it may cause wheezing in people that already have asthma or other lung problems.
Questions & Answers
If I am younger than 50 and have asthma can I get the nasal spray vaccine?
While the nasal spray flu vaccine is approved for use in people 2 years through 49 years of age, children 2 years through 4 years of age who have asthma or who have had a history of wheezing in the past 12 months should not get the nasal spray vaccine. Also, it's important to note that people of any age with asthma might be at increased risk for wheezing after getting the nasal spray flu vaccine. In addition, the safety of the nasal spray flu vaccine in people with lung disease (like asthma) and some other high risk conditions has not been established. There is a precaution noting this in the prescribing information for the nasal spray vaccine. On the other hand, the flu shot has a long, established safety record in people with asthma. Your doctor or other health care professional can further advise you on which flu vaccine is best for you.

When I go to register my number to Soundscan, it says, Add New UPC/EAN Code. Do I need to get UPC/EAN Barcode for my song to be able to register it on Soundscan?
migrated from video.stackexchange.com Feb 21 '14 at 10:47
This question came from our site for engineers, producers, editors, and enthusiasts spanning the fields of video, and media creation.
After some googling I found this - In order to have a chance at making the Billboard music charts, your release must be registered with SoundScan using your UPC number. If you do not register then your sales figures are not counted, and you remain invisible to the system. Signing up with SoundScan requires that your release has an official UPC number. The UPC number consists of the 12 digits listed below the UPC barcode used to identify your release.
Got this from this page http://simplybarcodes.net/soundscan.php

Just wondering what types of solutions are available to handle patching of PC/Mac games that don't have any sort of auto updater built into them.
In windows do you just spin off some sort of new install shield for the game that includes the updated files, hope you can read a valid registry key to point to the right directory, and overwrite files?
If so how does that translate over to Mac where the game is normally just distributed as straight up .app file?
Is there a better approach than the above for an already released product? (Assuming direct sells, and not through a marketplace that features auto-updating like Steam.)
Are there any off the shelf auto-updater type libraries that could also be easily integrated with a C/C++ code base even after a game has been shipped to make this a lot simpler, and that are cross platform?
Also how do auto-updaters work with new OS's that want applications and files digitally signed?

Were back!!
This year's International Photography Conference which was held in Palmela Portugal was huge success on many levels. Everyone who participated from vendors to speakers to attendees were all impressed with all that went into the organizing of the event. Carlos and Sandra along with many other event organizers went far beyond what anyone could have imagined to make this a memorable festival.
From sleeping in Castles to touring ancient monasteries few have had privilege of seeing. From touring the country side in beautiful air conditioned luxury charter buses to wine tasting at some of Portugal's premiere wineries. These were definitely some of the ooh's and ah's of the trip.
And then we have the conference and exhibitions themselves. Hundreds of prints were done up and placed into exhibitions around town including one massive gigapixel print taken by Henry Stuart and printed by Carlos that measured approx 70' ft x 8' ft (22 x 2.2meters).
We had many speakers that allowed to see what is forefront in the industry while learning tips and tricks from the world's best - information overload was beginning to set in.
And for Nodal Ninja the event was also big success. We sold out of many products even before the event officially started. Mauro (Italy), Vincèn (France), and Andrew (UK) were our 3 resellers that headed up the vendors booth and all 3 were kept extremely busy during the entire event. There was never a moment when the booth was silent even down to packing up to leave people were wanting to see stuff.
In total we had five resellers in attendance and including 3 of us from the US a total of 8 were representing Nodal Ninja. We want to give special thanks to Mauro, Vincèn and Andrew for all the hard work they put into handling the vendors booth.
Here are a few photos:

COLDWATER — Joe Fisher — a man of both sport and history — can attach his name to one of the most famous athletes in the history of sport.
Jim Thorpe.
Fisher, at the ripe age of 86, recalled the meetings between the two men in the late 1940s and early '50s. Fisher was enthralled by Thorpe's athletic ability as a youngster living in the Detroit area. This year marks the 100-year anniversary of the 1912 Summer Olympics in Stockholm, Sweden where Thorpe won gold in both the decathlon and pentathlon.
Thorpe was stripped of his medals in 1913 by the International Olympic Commission (IOC), as Thorpe's amateur status was questioned. He had played professional baseball in the Eastern Carolina League Rocky Mount, N.C. In 1909 and 1910. Thorpe had received as little as $2 per day and $35 per week. The Amateur Athletic Union (AAU) took Thorpe's case seriously, and his medals were taken away.
During those Olympic games, Thorpe was treated like royalty by Swedish King Gustav, who told Thorpe, "Sir, you are the greatest athlete in the world."

Belcher's Daughter Zoey To Receive Over $1M
Posted: 5:21 PM Dec 5, 2012
Reporter: Associated Press
Belcher Remembered
KANSAS CITY, Mo. (AP) _ The estate or guardian of the infant of the Chiefs player who killed her mother before turning a gun on himself will receive more than $1 million under terms of the NFL's collective-bargaining agreement.
Jovan Belcher's 3-month-old daughter, Zoey, stands to receive $108,000 annually over the next four years, $48,000 in the fifth year and then $52,000 each year until age 18. She'll continue to receive that amount until age 23 if she attends college.
The beneficiary of Belcher, who was in his fourth season, also will receive $600,000 in life insurance, plus $200,000 for each credited season. There is also $100,000 in a retirement account that will go to his beneficiary or estate.
Players' beneficiaries are kept confidential.
The current collective bargaining agreement was ratified in August 2011.

I can imagine that Spectre would suit Andris Liepa very well. Like innopac, I'd love to get a DVD/video of him in Spectre, if anyone has any info.

CAMERON (January 15, 2013)--In a special meeting Monday, Cameron City Council approved contracts totaling more than $700,000 in water improvement projects.
Texas-based company WWater Tech, Inc. will assist the city with a new water filter plant while a construction crew in the Bryan-College Station area will make improvements to surface water storage tanks.
The city water system collected 6 samples of water in October that contained coliform bacteria, bacteria that is naturally present and used as an indicator that other potentially harmful bacteria may be present.
Officials hope that improvements to the water system will alleviate some of the bacteria concerns.

Crown Prince chairs Cabinet session (9/2/13)
September 2, 2013
Crown Prince Salman bin Abdulaziz chaired the Cabinet session at Al-Salam Palace in Jeddah this afternoon. First, the Cabinet was briefed on regional and international developments, particularly the situation in Syria. The ministers stressed that the Assad regime's refusal to negotiate sincerely and its horrific massacres of civilians require a firm international response to put an end the humanitarian tragedy. They welcomed the statement issued by the Ministerial Council of the Arab League after its emergency meeting in Cairo, which condemned the Syrian regime's heinous use of chemical weapons and called upon the international community to take up its responsibilities. The ministers warned that opposition to action will only encourage the Damascus regime and reiterated the Kingdom's support for the Syrian people, as represented by the National Coalition.
Moving on to domestic affairs, the Cabinet noted the launch of the Hajj is Worship and Civilized Behavior Campaign. It confirmed that the Kingdom's various departments are committed to assisting Hajj pilgrims, while warning that sanctions will be strictly applied to violators of Hajj regulations.
The Cabinet commended the opening of the Fourth Conference of Saudi Men of Letters, which coincides with the selection of Madinah as the Capital of Islamic Culture 2013. Furthermore, it lauded King Abdullah bin Abdulaziz for launching the Program of the Custodian of the Two Holy Mosques to Support the Steadfastness of the Palestinian Cities. The initiative, which will provide $200 million to support Palestinian cities, was announced during the opening ceremony of the Thirteenth General Conference of the Organization of the Islamic Capitals and Cities in Makkah. Finally, the ministers were briefed on the Kingdom's participation in the 20th Beijing International Book Fair.
Addressing its remaining agenda items, the Cabinet approved an agreement with Kuwait in the field of air transport services; decided that the Ministry of Islamic Affairs, Endowments, Call and Guidance will join the Standing Committee for Money Laundering; and added a representative of the Investigation and Public Prosecution Commission to the Committee on Combating Organized Crime and Human Trafficking to the Human Rights Commission.
