Necklace & Bracelet Clasp Types
Lobster Claw Clasp: As a traditional clasp style found in bracelets and necklaces, the lobster claw is generally reserved for heavier styles that may need added strength. The closure's shape is more oblong, similar to a teardrop shape, and is controlled by a tip that opens and closes the spring in the clasp. This type is also considered a more expensive finding that can add to the overall value of the jewelry piece.
Magnetic Clasp: The popularity of the magnetic clasp has greatly increased in recent years. It is a quick and easy way to secure jewelry while not having to fuss with a tiny clasp, which can be difficult if you have long fingernails, arthritic hands or other mobility challenges. A magnetic clasp relies on a strong internal magnet that works to pull both ends of the clasp together. In most cases, a magnetic clasp is used for light to medium weight jewelry pieces that do not put excessive stress on the magnet.
Slide Insert Clasp: This type of clasp is exactly as it sounds. With a box-like shape that is hollow on the inside, the wearer will slide the nearly-flat tab into the box until it clicks, indicating a secure closure. On some jewelry, a slide insert clasp will be accompanied by a side safety catch, which adds strength and security to the clasp. Although this type of clasp is found on both bracelets and necklaces, it is particularly popular on bracelet styles. These types of clasps are often reserved for more expensive jewelry.
Spring Ring Clasp: One of the most common closure types, the spring ring clasp is typically used for light to medium weight bracelets or necklaces. It is round in its design and features a small tip which controls the opening and closing of the spring. The circle then closes around another smaller loop or link at the other end of the strand.
Toggle Clasp: A toggle clasp is a narrow piece of metal, usually designed in the shape of a bar, which is then pushed through a circular ring to act as a fastener. Unlike the lobster claw or spring ring clasps, a toggle clasp is not controlled by a spring. The pretty design is less secure than other closure types, but is usually meant to be a big part of the design and is meant to "show". The clasp is an attractive way to secure a chunkier link bracelet or necklace.
Vermeil Plating:
Pronounced "vermay," vermeil is an electroplating process in which 14K gold or higher is coated over sterling silver. Officially designated by the jewelry industry, items may only be sold as vermeil if they have a minimum thickness of 100 millionths of an inch (2.5 microns) of gold over the silver. Regular gold plating is less than 2.5 microns.
The "vermeil" technique of plating sterling silver with gold originated in France in the 1750s. It differs from "gold filled" or "gold plated" in terms of the thickness or thinness of the microns over sterling silver. "Gold filled" pieces have a much thicker layer, between 15 and 45 microns, which is mechanically bonded to the base metal with heat and pressure. Vermeil is a more expensive version of "gold plated". It does not wear off as quickly as gold plating does. However, over time, vermeil wears off and therefore will require re-plating.
Gold/Platinum Embraced Silver or Bronze:
Our platinum and gold embraced collections feature layers of platinum or gold over sterling silver or bronze for a lustrous, radiant finish everywhere you look and touch.
To care for your plated jewelry items:
A selection of our jewelry is made of sterling palladium alloy. Palladium is a member of the platinum group of precious metals. By replacing a portion of the copper content used in standard sterling silver with palladium, this proprietary formula renders a precious metal with superior performance attributes. Sterling palladium is five times more tarnish-resistant than standard sterling silver and has strength similar to that of 14K gold.
Palladium has been used as a precious metal in jewelry since 1939, originally as an alternative to platinum for making white gold. Its naturally white color requires no rhodium plating. Additionally, palladium is proportionally much lighter than platinum and is ideal for use in heavier gemstone jewelry. It is a more expensive alloy than nickel, but it seldom causes the allergic reactions that nickel alloy can.

3rd Annual TDP Secret Santa Event! - 12-01-2010, 07:11 PM
Ho ho ho! I see that Christmas time has arrived again, along with plenty of new faces! For those who do not know, I am Santa Claus and I am making a special visit here to host the third annual Secret Santa event!
What is the Secret Santa Event?
This event was started two years ago to help bring the forums together as a community. It has gone very well, with only a few drop outs, so it has come back with hope of bringing more people into the holiday spirit!
Basically, you sign up in this thread and I will assign you a person to make a personal gift for once sign ups are done. It can be anything--a doll, pixel art, drawings, graphics... You decide, but you must keep in mind that this is about giving and it should be something the other person will appreciate and enjoy.
How does the event work?
There are some steps to the process, so make sure you pay attention! Please only sign up if you are certain you have the time for this event.
1. Sign up for the event in this thread. Basically, post! In that post you should indicate that you want to participate and include a small list(3-4 items) of things you like. Examples would be "the colour gold", "Lady GaGa", "50s fashion", etc. This list should be reasonable for all users! Also, if you are interested, you can volunteer to be a back-up gifter as well in the event someone backs out.
2. Once sign ups close, you will be assigned a person to make a gift for. It is recommended that you look at their list of things here so you can make a nice personal gift, although holiday gifts are acceptable as well. To emphaszie, please do not make gifts before you are assigned! Some people did this last year and it really loses its personal touch if you do.
3. Once you are done, send your gift to me through PM! If you don't know how to do this, ask any of the staff members and they will be happy to point you to threads about it or even explain it personally. Also, please make sure your gift is hosted on a reliable image host. This would be like photobucket or imageshack. I do not save the gifts, so if yours goes missing(is deleted, moved, etc), you may have to remake it or one of our special back-up gifters may have to step in.
4. Once I get all of the gifts, I send them out! Everyone can then gush here about their gifts and try to guess who was their Secret Santa. You don't have to tell who you had if you don't want to though.
What happens if I need to back out? Can I help if other people can't make their gifts?
There is a special group of people who will step in to make sure your assigned person still gets a gift. Anyone can sign up to be a "back-up gifter" when they sign up for the event, though hopefully we will not have to do this.
Important Dates!
December 1st-Secret Santa begins; Sign ups can start!
December 13th-Sign ups to participate end! People can continue to sign up here and in PM if you fall outside this date. Assignments are handed out; gift making begins!
December 23rd-All gifts are due!
December 24th-Gifts are sent out and gushing begins
List of Participants
Here is our list of good girls and boys who have decided to participate! Names in red are people who have signed up to be back-up gifters as well.
Boldened names have turned in their gifts.
1. ColorPencil
2. Catlover642
3. Cheshire1996
4. Miranda
5. spirit_queen
6. antimaie

I am stuck on a cryptography problem that pertains to Elliptic Curves.
The problem is stated as follows:
Assume the cubic polynomial $X^3+AX+B = (X-a)(X-b)(X-c)$
If $4A^3 + 27B^2 = 0$, then show two or all of $a,b,c$ are the same.
So far, I expanded the right side, so I get the following equations:
$0 = a + b + c$
$A = ab + ac + bc$
$B = -abc$
I can't seem to use the hypothesis in the correct way. I tried to compute $A^3$ but the expansion of it looks horrible. If any one has any tips how to approach this problem, that would be great.

Soundgarden's new album - King Animal - Amazon MP3 Downloads for $3.99
Soungarden's first full album in 16 years was released today, and Amazon.com is offering the full 13 track MP3 download for $3.99:
17 Comments add a comment
Song Title Time
1. Been Away Too Long 3:36
2. Non-State Actor 3:57
3. By Crooked Steps 4:00
4. A Thousand Days Before 4:23
5. Blood On The Valley Floor 3:48
6. Bones Of Birds 4:22
7. Taree 3:38
8. Attrition 2:52
9. Black Saturday 3:30
10. Halfway There 3:16
11. Worse Dreams 4:53
12. Eyelid's Mouth 4:39
13. Rowing 5:06
There's a Deluxe Version with three extra songs which can be downloaded for $0.99 each. iTunes has another extra song as well for $1.29.
There's also a Best Buy exclusive with the same three songs from the Deluxe Version, plus two that you can't get anywhere else.
If you buy this for $3.99, you can download the three songs from the Deluxe Version from Amazon for $2.97. Then you can get the iTunes song for $1.29. That brings the total to $8.25 for the Deluxe Version, which is a $6.74 savings off the in-store sale price of $14.99 today.
By the way, the extra songs are all demos of the songs on the regular version of the album.
This Album is OK. I was hoping for more from SoundGarden. MEH
Did Timbaland produce it?
Timbaland knows the way to the top of the chart.
I'd prefer something new from RATM (ideally both), but betting this is still preferrable to more audioslave. Plus I have have ~$1 free amazon mp3 cred that expires soon, which knocks this price under $3.
Awesome! Thanks for sharing this! I've been a fan of Soundgarden for over 20 years and here's hoping they end up touring to support this - it's been over 20 years since I last saw them live! :-P
The cover art and timing suggests a Christmas album.
@commodog: Is soundgarden hopped up on speed now? They used to pretty well never write a song that was less than 8 minutes long.
Huge fan of Soundgarden, but not of this album. Otherwise, good price.
in for 1. also had the promotional code from amazon so i scored the album for $2.99. Damn i love the digital age. I remember when you HAD to drop $15 to get the newest CD.
Utterly perfect.
Picks up where Down on the Upside left us hanging.
Its almost bizarre that they pulled it off.
Dammit I love technology, thanks, I can't wait to give it a listen!
After listening to it twice, I like it. Similar to Superunknown or Down on the Upside.
A surprising amount of hate in these comments. And my guess is the majority haven't even heard it yet. I happen to think the album is fantastic. It took a couple times through but I think it's great. Also to my knowledge its got really good reviews from critics. But I guess Woot's collectively decided to bash this one.
Oh well. Got my concert tickets for the February Seattle show. Screw you haters. :-D

Mercedes Petronas' 2011 European GP Results
Mercedes-Benz' Nico Rosberg and Michael Schumacher ended in 7th and 17th place respectively at the European Grand Prix. In this race, Sebastian Vettel of Red Bull placed first. Schumacher's car collided with Petrov's car on lap 15, just after leaving his first pit stop. The collision broke his front wing thus he needed to do another stop after completing the lap. Michael Schumacher said he was not too happy with the race, he commented, "Not a very satisfying race for me today. The outcome was decided after lap 15 when I slid into Petrov and lost the points I could perhaps have achieved. Our race pace should have allowed me… Continue Reading »

This post { AppSecret with Windows Phone 7 } indicates that the WP7 sample doesn't use the AppSecret to login from windows phone, but the current sample in the 5.3.2 download does use the secret.
However, FacebookOAuthClient.cs throws exceptions if it isn't provided. Also, http://blog.prabir.me/post/Facebook-CSharp-SDK-Writing-your-first-Facebook-Application.aspx shows a sample without using the AppSecret.
Reading Facebooks developer docs it appears that the secret is intended for backend (webserver) auth to facebook, not client apps, and that it is poor practice, maybe insecure, and probably fattening to include your secret in your client application.
Do I misunderstand the guidance, or is there some way to authenticate with the facebook-c#-sdk without using the secret?

5 Huge Brands That Pissed Off Whole Countries With Marketing
Making money ain't easy. If it were, what would basically all rap songs be about? No, to make money you need a business, and a business is a careful balance of product development, client base, finances, infrastructure, and whether the mere existence of the product insults the entire consumer base so viciously that they show up at your factory with pitchforks. Oh, didn't consider that last one, did you? Well, you should. Why, just look at the time ...
#5. Avon Accidentally Implied That Japanese Women Were Whores
Remember the Avon lady? The iconic door-to-door saleswoman who showed up at your house, politely insisted that you were ugly, then blitzed your homely ass with lotions and perfumes in an attempt to fix it?
Unlike milkman visits, the housewife didn't end up pregnant. Usually.
Well, when Avon first entered the Japanese market in 1969, they took their patented, thinly veiled insults about their customers' appearance and quite accidentally cranked them up to 11. Just the simple act of an Avon lady showing up at the door with her wares basically implied that the woman of the house was a dirty streetwalker. Why? Well, Japanese customers were indeed quite interested in skin care products, but a huge chunk of Avon's products were also perfumes, and to the Japanese consumer, perfume was reserved primarily for hookers.
Much like Western-style panties, strong fragrances weren't a big part of mainstream Japanese culture until the cultural invasion of the West. Because the scents were so exotic and novel, they quickly caught on with prostitutes. After being so closely and immediately associated with ladies of the night, no respectable lady would be caught dead perfuming herself -- at least not like the Westerners did. Western-style perfume immediately became the sole domain of the prostitute. And then Avon came along and tried to sell it to middle-aged suburbanites.
"This scent perfectly masks the stench of sailor sweat and cheap whiskey, which, obviously, is a concern for you ..."
The company hadn't exactly endeared itself to the Japanese people before that, either. By the mere fact that they peddled their goods door to door, Avon was considered rude and low class. The Japanese hated being interrupted in their homes by strangers (unlike ... everybody else on the planet?), so Avon's policy was quickly updated, with each Avon lady only operating on her home turf where everybody knew who she was. Then Avon got the brilliant idea to sell bath additives in Japan. This was it! The answer to all their business woes! Those crazy Japanese are always taking baths -- Don Draper, you have done it again!
Except for the fact that the furo, the Japanese bath, isn't meant for cleaning, but for relaxing, like a one-person pool. And much like a regular pool, you have to clean yourself thoroughly before you enter the hot water, which will be then go on to be shared by the entire family. So bringing a bath additive into a furo would be like tossing Mr. Bubble into a community pool. Sure, it sounds like fun for you, but everybody else is probably going to kick your ass.
#4. Eight Pixels Cost Microsoft Millions in India
In Windows 95, you could set the computer's clock by choosing your time zone from a world map:
A stunning technological marvel, never again to be replicated.
As you can see, it wasn't exactly a comprehensive and accurate survey of the world, but rather a quick-and-dirty 0.8 megapixel image that made Greenland look twice as big as Australia. It didn't give directions or even name countries. It just highlighted time zones so you could choose the one you were in, close the window, and never touch the menu again.
But time zones can offer information other than the current time. For example, they can also piss off millions of people. When you selected "Pakistan Standard Time," the map naturally highlighted Pakistan. However, as part of Pakistan, Windows 95 would also highlight the disputed regions of Jammu and Kashmir, which were claimed by both Pakistan and India. When India noticed this display, all of the world's oceans sloshed just a little bit from the sudden weight of billions of bricks being shat simultaneously.
Will Ockenden
The biggest ever controversy about Pakistani time zones, other than Zero Dark Thirty.
India responded to eight misplaced pixels on a time zone map by threatening to ban the sale of Windows 95 countrywide. Although India didn't have quite as many computer users as they do today, the mistake still cost Microsoft millions. Microsoft eventually had to give India their own version of Windows 95 and ended up removing the highlighting function from all future versions of Windows.
Thus ends the story of the most controversial eight pixels this side of Custer's dong.
#3. A Makeup Line Is Named After the Murder Capital of Mexico
When you hear the word "Juarez," you surely think of exotic beauty, mysterious maidens, and the scent of night-blooming flowers wafting on the ocean breeze, right? No? You think of the Mexican border city Ciudad Juarez, the Juarez drug cartel, and the many, many, many brutal murders that took place there? Weird. Because MAC Cosmetics pretty much just gets that night-blooming flower jazz.
That's probably why they named one of their products, a pink frost nail polish, after a place most famous for squalor and death.
Or maybe they just had a thing for squalid dead ladies.
And this was not a matter of recent crimes ruining the city's good image: Between 1993 and 2011, hundreds of women were brutally murdered in the city of Juarez. Some put the actual death toll at well over 1,000 victims and chalk them up to everything from roving packs of serial killers to the aforementioned drug cartels. Regardless, the point is that very little was/is being done about it. Apparently, women being routinely abducted, raped, mutilated, killed, and dumped in the wilderness is so common in Juarez that the city just kind of learned to live with it. You know, like how you get used to that strange smell your home town has. It's just like that, but with vicious, indescribable murders instead of a paper mill.
It doesn't stop with the Juarez nail polish, of course. When taken together, all of the other products in the line paint a seriously unfortunate picture. The blush was called "Quinceanera" (most of the Juarez victims were very young women), the lipstick was called "Ghost Town," and the nail polish was christened "Factory." Perhaps that last one was supposed to suggest something cool and industrial, but most Juarez "factories" are actually depressing sweatshops where many of the murdered women worked.
No murdered women made MAC cosmetics, though. Those are made in Canadian sweatshops.
After a massive backlash, MAC apologized and offered to donate $100,000 to a Juarez charity, then up and yanked the entire line, leaving all the goth girls who wanted to wear murder-inspired makeup stuck with John Wayne Gacy's Krazy Killer Klown Paint.

I have a table for each state with Zip Code values. The 5-digit Zip Codes that start with "0" have been reduced to 4-digits. I cannot figure out how to add a "0" to the front of all the values in the table. Tried a number of field-calculations but just can't seem to get it right. Some help please. Using ArcInfo 10.1
As far as I know, if you are storing zip codes in a numerical field (integer, float, etc.) it will always strip the preceding zero. The only way I have found to deal with this is to store zip codes in a text column instead.
As Brian mentioned you will need to store the data in a text field. Then the field calculation is: right("00000" + [Existing_ZIP_CODE_FIELD],5)
this will ensure you have all of the necessary leading 0s up to 5 characters.
As @Brian has said, the field will have to be text to keep the zero on the left. Here's a quick, basic python example:
This makes use of UpdateCursor, Add Field (Data Management), and Python string formatting, particularly .rjust()
I think this page has the information you needed about how to keep leading zeros for zip code field.
We're looking for long answers that provide some explanation and context. Don't just give a one-line answer; explain why your answer is right, ideally with citations. Answers that don't include explanations may be removed.

Is SASS the direction for CSS in Ext JS 4.0?
We have our own CSS compiler of sorts, before I ever heard of SASS. I'm curious if this is the direction for Ext4?
Also, is there JS version of the SASS compiler that anyone knows about? I hate having an ever increasing cornucopia of language dependencies for a build environment for JS & CSS. Our current system has duplicate implementations of the CSS compiler in JS and PHP so I can do CSS editing either on the server or live in the browser (where, really, it belongs, no?).
21 May 2010 10:20 AM #2
We have been looking at SASS extensively for use in Ext JS 4.0. It will make Ext Themes even easier to customize.
Regarding compiling, it would be great to have that functionality built into JSBuilder, but no one is currently working on that specific aspect.
25 May 2010 3:48 AM #3
Perhaps that could lead to a "Theme builder" product or a "Theme designer"https://moduscreate.com/wp-content/t...es/favicon.png

I was planning on creating a custom "Archives" template to create a detailed Archives page for my blog, including lists of posts by category, tag, date and author. Rather than use a static link though, is there a way within WordPress to get a link to a specific template file? I want the link to work regardless of the page's URL—is this possible?
closed as not a real question by toscho♦ Jul 13 '12 at 19:49
It's difficult to tell what is being asked here. This question is ambiguous, vague, incomplete, overly broad, or rhetorical and cannot be reasonably answered in its current form. For help clarifying this question so that it can be reopened, visit the help center.If this question can be reworded to fit the rules in the help center, please edit the question.
Here's a function to print the URI of the first page using an "Archive" page template. It assumes the template is named template-archive.php (don't name it archive.php and hijack the Template Hierarchy!). You can either drop this in functions.php and call it in a template or you can just use the code within the function directly in a template file.
Depends on what its an archive of. Take a look at the Template Hierarchy...
As you can see there are many kinds of archives. Taxonomy, Category, Tag, Author, Date, and Posts. If no template of the specific type is found when on an 'archive' query, then WordPress defaults to a generic 'archive.php' template. If thats not found either, it will default to 'index.php'.
If you are trying to make a general archive page that shows several kinds of archives combined, you could theoretically do that anywhere in the hierarchy - the questions to answer then would be where and how you want that part of your site to show up - and what kind of data will be shown there (is it relative to the cat your on, or is it a central generic type of thing).
For example if you create a template called category.php, then any category request will show up using that template, unless you create a specific one for a particular category. So if you have category.php and category-myslug.php, then the 'myslug' category will show up with its special template, but all others will show up using the general category.php template.
To bring this all home, if your url is http://example.com/category/cat1, it can be made to use the same template as http://example.com/category/cat2 based on which templates do and done exist within your theme.
The same logic applies to tag templates, page templates, date-based archives, custom taxonomy templates, and custom post type templates. Additionally, if you want a single template to apply to ALL archives, just create an archive.php template and make sure you dont have one of the more specific ones in your theme.
Hope this helps.

BUCCALO, Sharyn. The family of Sharyn Luckey Buccalo of Denton, MD, is sad to announce her passing on October 17, 2013, of acute leukemia.
Born on January 5, 1947, she is survived by her husband of 44 years, Alfred (Al) Buccalo; and two children, daughter, Beth Ann Weimer, her husband, Bill, and their children, Emma and Matthew of Groveport, Ohio and her son, Dominic Buccalo, his wife, Nicole and their daughter, Magdalayna of Bowling Green, Ohio.
Also survived by two sisters, Hildred Kay Ritenour Dingus (Paul) of Mount Jackson, Virginia and Angela Joanne Rowland (John) of Arbutus, Maryland, as well as several nieces and nephews.
She was preceded in death by her parents, Doyle and Emma Jean Luckey of Mingo Junction, Ohio.
Sharyn was a 1965 graduate of Mingo High School and a 1967 graduate of Ohio Valley School of Nursing.
She was the first daughter of a fellow graduate; her mother having graduated from the nursing school in 1945. Sharyn worked as an RN but went on to earn a BSN from Ashland University, an MSN from Case Western Reserve and a Master's Degree in Public Health Nursing from Case Western Reserve.
Her life-long love of reading and learning remained with her until her death. Sharyn never traveled without at least three books and often more, even when going to the store. (Always time to get a few pages in.)
She and Al travelled to many foreign countries as well as the United States, loving Hawaii especially. On their many family vacations to Chincoteague, VA, they decided to move to the Eastern Shore after Al's retirement from the Ohio State Patrol; settling in Denton, MD.
Sharyn worked at several hospitals after moving to the Eastern Shore including Easton, Chestertown and Dorchester. Her love of nursing was as strong as her love of reading and she taught several classes at the Chesapeake Community College on the shore.
Sharyn's favorite bumper sticker "There is no life west of the Chesapeake Bay" - she believed it.

Chin up and chest puffed out, Adam Chlor swaggered through the double doors of Modell's Sporting Goods and onto Flatbush Avenue, decked out in newly-bought black and white garb – Brooklyn Nets snapback, Deron Williams jersey, skinny jeans and matching high-top Chuck Taylor's.
The 26-year-old Fort Greene native crossed the street toward the Nets' $1 billion arena, then suddenly hooked a left and walked right by.
"You'll never get me in Barclays Center to see a game," Mr. Chlor said. "I love the Nets new design and the colors are hot, but I'm a Knicks fan at heart. I'll support the Brooklyn Nets, because I'm from Brooklyn, but that's it."
Mr. Chlor isn't alone.
Whether its longtime New York Knicks backers, out-of-towners or Brooklyn natives who are new to the game, these "hybrid fans" — more concerned about fashion and borough pride than fan loyalty — flood Modell's on a daily basis, according to Nicholas Chang, the store's general manager.
"They might not care about the players' names on the backs of the jerseys, but one thing is for sure — they love the black and white," he said.

Let $Q$ and $R$ be two acyclic quivers which differ only in the directions of their arrows (i. e., the underlying undirected graphs are the same).
1. Does there exist an isomorphism of additive categories $\mathrm{Rep}Q\to\mathrm{Rep}R$ ?
At the moment, I am not even 100% sure about the weaker statement that there exists an equivalence of additive categories $\mathrm{Rep}Q\to\mathrm{Rep}R$. (My intuition for this is pretty much zero.)
In before reflection functors - they are not isomorphisms. (But yes, it's a nice exercise to see that we can obtain $R$ from $Q$ by a sequence of admissible reflections, where an "admissible reflection" means choosing some sink in $Q$ and switching all the arrows to $Q$. Unfortunately, the corresponding reflection functors may turn some nonzero representations of $Q$ to zero.)
2. Are the representation rings of $Q$ and $R$ isomorphic? The isomorphy of their additive groups follows from Gabriel's theorem, but it is not clear to me what this does to tensor products.
1+2. Does there exist an isomorphism of tensor categories $\mathrm{Rep}Q\to\mathrm{Rep}R$ ?
3. If some of these answers are No, what if we restrict ourselves to Dynkin quivers?
I am new to quivers, so I'm sorry if this has been already talked over a dozen of times here.

So, here's my setup. I have one partition with the newest version installed, a second partition with an older version installed (as a backup just in case), a swap partition that both share, and a boot partition so the bootloader doesn't need to be setup after each upgrade.
- sda1 ext3 /boot
- sda2 ext4 / (current version)
- sda3 ext4 / (old version)
- sda4 swap /swap
- sda5 ntfs (contains folders symbolically linked to /home on /)
So far it has been a very good setup. I can modify the boot loaders for new installs without messing with the MBR. Adding my personal files (from the /home partition) is as easy as creating some symlinks in my home folder (even on a Windows install).
Here's the issue. I'd like to be able to deploy an installation in the 'current version' partition to overwrite the 'old version' partition effectively making it the new 'current version'.
The goal here is to do the install with no USB drives, external hard drives, or CD copies.
Here are the steps to deploy an install from within Ubuntu using debootstrap
Step One: Format sda3 (the partition with the old copy of linux that's being overwritten)
I used gparted to format it as ext4 from within the current linux install. How this is done varies based on what tools you prefer to use.
Step Two: Mount the newly formatted partition (we'll call the mount ubuntu for simplicity)
sudo mkdir /mnt/ubuntu
sudo mount -o -loop /dev/sda3 /mnt/ubuntu
Step Three: Get debootstrap
sudo apt-get install debootstrap
Step Four: Mount the install disk (replace ubuntu.iso with the name if your install disk)
sudo mkdir /media/cdrom
sudo mount -o loop ~/ubuntu.iso /media/cdrom
Step Five: Install the OS using debootstrap (replace fiesty with the version you're installing and amd64 with your processor's architecture)
sudo debootstrap --arch amd64 fiesty /mnt/ubuntu file:/media/cdrom
The settings here varies. While I loaded debootstrap using an install iso, you can also have debootstrap automatically download and install if with a repository link (While most of these repositories contain debian versions I'm still not clear as to whether Ubuntu has similar repositories). Here a list of the debian package repositories and their mirrors.
This is how you'd deploy debootstrap if you were doing it directly from a repository:
sudo debootstrap --arch amd64 squeeze /mnt/debian http://ftp.us.debian.org/debian
Here's the link that I primarily used to figure out the steps needed.
Update 2: I've removed the info about my initial failed attempt and added the steps to accomplish this so this question may be useful for others who attempt this in the future.

Visiting hours and funeral services are set for 18-year-old Monica DeMello, who was killed in a head-on crash early Saturday morning in Lakeville.
The roadside memorial for the Middleboro teen described as "a light of sunshine" grew Monday to include flowers, a pink bunny, a wood cross with handwritten messages and Bible verses.
Monica DeMello, 18, a Middleboro resident and Gordon College freshman, died in a head-on crash early Saturday in Lakeville.
Maria and Charles Webb stopped by Monday to pay their respects to the young woman they said they didn't know, but knew local teens who did.
"My heart goes with the family," Maria Webb said, her hand on her chest.
"Too young," Charles added, shaking his head.
DeMello, a 2012 graduate of Bristol-Plymouth Regional Technical School, was remembered as "joyful" – a young woman with a strong faith who wanted to help others.
More than 1,000 people Monday had joined a Facebook group called "Rest in Peace Monica DeMello

STEUBENVILLE - City Council will meet at 5 p.m. today in executive session to review a tentative agreement reached Monday between City Manager Cathy Davison and representatives of the American Federation of State, County and Municipal Employees Local 2015.
AFSCME Local 2015 President Brian Young said the hour-long talks "were very productive" and aimed at limiting potential layoffs in his union ranks.
"I still have to meet with the union membership this week. But at this point the city administration has agreed to keep all of the heavy equipment operators on their jobs. The lay-off notices issued last week have been withdrawn and will be reissued after we can agree on a number," Young explained.
"We are hoping to limit the actual layoffs to just one union member. We will help the city achieve their reductions by not filling certain vacant jobs. We are working to adjust our jobs to limit the layoffs. The city is looking to cut five jobs," Young noted.
"People may be changing their jobs a bit but they will still be getting a paycheck and that is good news," added Young.
Davison echoed Young's comments regarding the meeting.
"Both sides came to the table with open minds and open hearts and we were able to come to a consensus on positions to be eliminated. The positions to be eliminated will help us bridge the gap to resolve our projected budget deficit. We are also working together to minimize effects on services we provide our residents. I want to commend the AFSCME leadership for being open to our ideas and for providing suggestions," Davison stated.
The city started the week facing a projected $822,968 budget deficit for this year.
Davison said she also will recommend council ask the state auditor's office to conduct a performance audit.
"That audit would look at our staffing numbers as well as our collaborative plans and what steps we are taking to become more efficient," said Davison.
"We are facing hard decisions that should have been made 20 years ago. It is tough to make recommendations that affect people's lives. But we also have to operate as efficiently as possible," Davison remarked.
Davison said Monday she plans to convene a joint health care committee meeting as soon as possible.
"I will ask Health America to list all benefits city employees receive and as well as a cost comparison to other municipalities. Right now our employees pay $50 a month or $600 a year for health care," noted Davison.
The three city union representatives vetoed health care program changes last month when the three union representatives voted no and the two city representatives voted in favor of changes.
Council will meet at 7:30 p.m. for a sunshine meeting when new legislation officially is introduced for consideration at next week's regular meeting.
The Dec. 18 meeting is the last regular council meeting scheduled for this year.

Students at Southeast, with the exception of international students, are not required to have active health insurance as a condition of enrollment; however, it is strongly encouraged. Students who are not covered under their parent/guardians' health insurance plan or have no coverage of their own are encouraged to consider securing health insurance.
Because of options for health insurance available in the private market and through various governmental programs, the University does not offer an optional University sponsored or funded insurance for domestic students for the 2012-1013 academic year.
Southeast students who participated in the now discontinued Missouri Consortium Injury and Sickness Insurance Plan underwritten by UnitedHealthcare Insurance Company can get details on their previous insurance from UnitedHealthCare.
The plan is underwritten by UnitedHealthcare Insurance Company and is based on policy 1729. Details on the program are found in the Certificate of Coverage. The certificate of coverage provides details of the coverage including costs, benefits, exclusions, any reductions or limitations and the terms under which the coverage may be continued in force. Copies of the certificate can be viewed and downloaded at www.UHCSR.com.
For information or more details on your past participation in the program please contact Customer Service at 800-767-0700 or firstname.lastname@example.com.
Any arrangements between a student/parent and UnitedHealthcare Insurance Company are considered a third party agreement and independent of the University, Campus Health Clinic or any department at Southeast Missouri State University. The University will NOT be responsible for any costs incurred by those who participated in the plan. Southeast Missouri State University is no longer a partner for this program and therefore all questions about past participation in this can only be responded to from UnitedHealthcare.
Please note: International students are required to purchase this insurance in order to attend Southeast Missouri State University. More information about this requirement can be found at the frequently asked questions section of International Programs and Services website.

yle Larson (32) goes airborne into the catch fence in a multi-car crash that includes Dale Earnhardt Jr. (88), Parker Kilgerman (77), Justin Allgaier (31) and Brian Scott (2) during the final lap of the NASCAR Nationwide Series auto race at Daytona International Speedway Feb. 23, 2013, in Daytona Beach, Fla. / AP PHOTO
AVONDALE, Ariz. (AP) -- NASCAR will look at the placement of gates at its tracks after a Nationwide Series car crashed through the fence at the Daytona 500 and injured more than two dozen fans.
Steve O'Donnell, NASCAR's Senior Vice President of Racing Operations, said on Saturday that the gate where rookie Kyle Larson's car hit the fence was locked, but that pieces of the car still went through the fence.
He said the safety elements of Larson's car appeared to work, but the section that the engine is tethered to sheared off and sent pieces of the car flying into the stands.
O'Donnell also said two of the injured fans are still at the hospital, but that everyone else has been released.

Say a monoid $M$ has infinite products if, for any (possibly infinite) sequence $(m_1,m_2,\ldots)$ of elements of $M$, there exists an element $m_1m_2\cdots\in M$, satisfying some good properties. First, if the sequence is finite, it should coincide with the usual product on $M$. Second, concatenation of sequences results in multiplication of their products and is associative. Third, identities can be "thrown out," as can consecutive inverses ($m_{i+1}=m_i^{-1}$). (Other good properties to include?)
Another way to phrase this is: "$M$ is closed under small ordinal colimits." That is, if $M$ is considered as a one-object category, then for any small ordinal $[\kappa]$ and functor $m\colon[\kappa]\to M$, the colimit of $m$ exists in $M$.
Example: let ${\mathbb N}^+$ denote the monoid with underlying set ${\mathbb N}\cup ${$\infty$} and whose operation on a sequence $m=(m_1,m_2,\ldots)$ is given by addition if $m$ has only finitely many non-zero elements, and by $\infty$ otherwise.
Now suppose that $M$ is any monoid and I want to replace it by a monoid that has infinite products. I'm hoping there are two ways to do this. One would be to add colimits freely, and the other would be to add a single "$\infty$" element that served as a catch-all (as in the example above).
Q: Do these both exist (functorially in $M$)? If so, can you describe them in elementary terms? For example, I'm worried about sequences like $1-1+1-1+\cdots$. So in a good answer I'd hope to see what happens with such infinite sums.

"We are literally Mayberry in the 20th century. I mean we are small, we're quaint, we're inviting," says Greenville Tourism Commission Director, Beth Newman.
The town of Greenville has received some national recognition, getting 3rd runner-up as "America's Coolest Small Town 2013", but it took years of hard work.
Five years ago, city officials say Downtown Greenville was falling apart.
"We started with a downtown that needed a lot of work, had a lot of empty buildings," says Greenville Tourism Commission Chair Jamie Wells.
"We had approximately 15 vacant buildings on Main Street, and today we probably have three or four," Greenville Mayor Ed DeArmond says.
When DeArmond was elected in 2007, it was his goal to revitalize Downtown Greenville.
"We went back in the archives and looked at main street back in the 20's, 30's, 40's and 50's," he says.
"As he came into our office he put a big sign in our counsel room that said, 'Don't tell me why we can't, tell me how we can'," says Greenville City Administrator, Ben Van Hooser.
City officials got to work, applying for revitalization and transportation grants that would end up totaling $800,000.
"We did an event called 'Let's Paint the Town' where the community came out and the shop owners were very willing to work with us and we had volunteer efforts in that project that refaced all of our downtown buildings," Wells says.
The grants also allowed the city to pay for brick-paved sidewalks, traffic lights, and several outdoor beautification projects.
"We are literally Mayberry in the 20th century. I mean we are small, we're quaint, we're inviting," says Greenville Tourism Commission Director, Beth Newman.
"Someone would come in, and spend the day in Downtown Greenville, shop in one of our shops, eat in one of our eateries, and enjoy the charm of the historic downtown area," Wells says.
And five years later, their vision has become a reality.
Downtown Greenville has become the destination for craft festivals, concerts, and more, bringing in thousands of tourists.
Most recently, Greenville became one of "America's Coolest Small Towns".
"We are quite honored being a town of only about 4,200 people," Van Hooser says.
"I think there is a lot of variety here for people to come and be apart of and we try to make that a low or now cost," Wells says.
Officials say the downtown revitalization project is about 85% complete.

I've always had the question of how much weight can a single screw into a drywall withstand?
For instance, I would like to do things like this:
It's hanged with 5 screws. The whole thing weights approximately 50kg (110 pounds) so we can say that each screw stands approximately 10kg (22 pounds).
The person who installed it said it was fine, but is it really?
Do somebody know a study or some numbers regarding how much weight this material can stand?
EDIT: Just to clarify, it's not screwed to studs. It's screwed to the drywall.

Cassy Herkelman became the first girl to win a wrestling match in Iowa's state tournament.
But, that's not really the news.
The news was that Joel Northrup, who entered the meet at 35-4 and a favorite to win the event, defaulted the match at 112 pounds because he would not wrestle her.
His decision was national news because the sophomore home-schooler who competed for Linn-Mar High School said he didn't think it was appropriate to wrestle a girl because of his religious beliefs.
"That's their belief, and I praise them for sticking to it," said Bill Herkelman, father of Cassy, to The Associated Press. "This is the biggest stage in wrestling in the state, I would say, and they stuck to their beliefs when it probably tested it the most. It was probably a tough pill for him to swallow."
Herkelman followed up her win with two losses, while Northrup dropped a 3-2 decision in three overtimes to get eliminated.
"He had the right to make his own choice, and he made his choice," said Herkelman, one of two girls in this year's tournament. "It's not like he did what he didn't want to do."
Northrup issued a statement through his school expressing his "tremendous" respect for what Herkelman and Ottumwa sophomore Megan Black achieved this season, but he said didn't feel he had a choice.
"Wrestling is a combat sport and it can get violent at times," Northrup said in a statement released by his high school. "As a matter of conscience and my faith I do not believe that it is appropriate for a boy to engage a girl in this manner. It is unfortunate that I have been placed in a situation not seen in most other high school sports in Iowa."
"He's poured his heart and soul into wrestling and into being the best in the state," said father Jamie Northrup said. "He's never won a state championship, so he's certainly looking forward to that day. So it's agonizing, from all the work and the effort and the hope.
"But it's easy in that, he, a long time ago, drew a line and said 'I don't believe it's right for a boy to wrestle a girl.'"
Jamie Northrup is a minister in the Believers in Grace Fellowship, an independent Pentecostal church in Marion that believes young men and women shouldn't touch in a "familiar way," said Bill Randles, the church's pastor.
"We believe in the elevation and respect of woman and we don't think that wrestling a woman is the right thing to do. Body slamming and takedowns, that full contact sport is not how to do that.
"It's totally his choice. He's a young man now and he's worked hard to get where he's gotten. It's up to him, and it was his conviction" not to wrestle Herkelman.
Black said Northrup refused to wrestle her three years ago, and that she respects him for adhering to his beliefs.
"If it's his religion and he's strong in his religion, then I just respect that," Black said. "Obviously, everyone can be pointing fingers at him. He, at least, is true to his beliefs and you have to respect that. It takes a lot for a 15- or 16-year-old boy to do."
Contrary to far too many opinions I have heard, this was not about losing to a girl.
It was simply about a religious belief.
Let's face it, though, wrestling a female is a no-win situation for a guy.
Win because you are supposed to.
Lose and you lost to a girl.
I understand the more and more that girls get involved in wrestling, guys will have to deal with it in their own way.
The National Federation of State High School Associations reports that more than 6,000 girls and nearly 275,000 boys competed in wrestling in 2009-10. Most states require girls to wrestle boys.
But, California, Hawaii, Texas, Washington and Tennessee sponsor girls-only high school wrestling tournaments.
I applaud Northrup for sticking with what he believes when far too many people would have compromised because of the almighty victory.
Once you start compromising in your beliefs, all beliefs are open to compromise.
The young man has drawn the line in the sand and is staying on one side.
Once you straddle that line, things get hard.
The line is blurred and is gets easier to cross.
He stepped down following his conscience.
This was not about chauvinism or sexism.
It was nothing more than a young man doing what he thought was right and far too many people just don't get it.
Eric Henry Liddell was a Scottish athlete, rugby player, and missionary whose religious beliefs were depicted in the 1981 Oscar-winning film Chariots of Fire.
He won the 400 at the 1924 Summer Olympics in Paris, from the outside lane, no less.
He was supposed to run the 100, but it fell on a Sunday and, because of his religious beliefs, did not participate in the race.
The story goes that before Liddell went to the blocks in the 400 and was handed a piece of paper with a quotation from 1 Samuel 2:30: "Those who honor me I will honor."
In 1925 he ran 10.0 (100), 22.2 (200) and 47.7 (400). The man could fly.
He died on Feb. 24, 1945, because of a brain tumor as a missionary in China at age 43.

I would like to render formulae in PNG format for use in various websites. The problem is, every rendering tool I've come across seems to assume a particular background color to perform anti-aliasing, resulting in nasty color fringes when the image is displayed on a different background color. Is there a way to perform the anti-aliasing in the alpha-channel so that the equation will look nice and crisp no matter what color the background it'll be displayed on is?
Or is it not possible?

There's a Thermal Spa Centre!
The new thermal spa centre, on the opposite bank of the river Passirio, was opened during the 1970's and is furnished with the most modern equipment for therapeutic treatment. It also houses an indoor swimming-pool filled with thermal water and the natural radio-activity in this water has a most beneficial pathological effect. The spa centre is open all year round and specialises in a vast selection of curative treatments.

I asked a question but it got closed before I got any answers. Stack Overflow says it is a Q&A site for all. I couldn't tell from the FAQ why it was closed, so can anyone explain what happened?
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 was expecting this to be a language issue but I didn't really have any problems understanding your questions. It's just that they're very basic and rather open-ended. When combined with very short questions with grammatical problems people are inclined to vote down and close rather than spend time improving them.
I was torn on your Joda time vs java.util.Date question because it's a fairly narrowly tailored A vs B question and I think there could be useful answers. There's also a related question that might be helpful.
Also, when you changed it to
it wasn't really an improvement because we can't tell what that means. We'd have to know which programs in order to answer that in a meaningful way.
Look around the site at other questions that are asked. Are they short, one-liners like yours? Or perhaps you see lots of detail, some code? Did those questions make full usage of the textarea, or did they leave a lot of empty space?
I suspect that much of what you asked could probably be found on Google? Did you do a search before asking "What is Joda time?"
I just did a quick Google search and came up with lots of information about Joda time. Please see this Google search.
Now, let's assume you did actually search. Did you explain in the question what it was about those other answers on Google that didn't already answer your question? Did you describe in greater detail what the exact problem was you were facing, with code examples, error messages, what you've tried?
It seems like your question was closed because it's just too basic, and on Stack Overflow, we're looking for questions that haven't already been answered on every corner of the Internet.
With that said, consider editing your question. Closure is by no means permanent, and if you improve your question, it can be reopened by the community. So, tell us what it is that you don't understand. Give us the details so that we don't have to try and dig them out of you. :) If you do these things, you may find that you also get much better answers to your problems, and many more upvotes. Good luck!
IMO I have seen many questions (Inluding my own) closed like yours.
The reason is for the use of questions like:
That is more for CodeReview, where as you'd expect questions like I am using this, but it won't work etc..
The question you asked would most likely solicit debate, and for some was vague, those were the grounds that IMO the question was closed.
Another good sign if your question will be closed is how long is the question?
Very rare a good question is 2-3 lines.
IMO the question was closed incorrectly as closed as not a real question and should have been closed as Not constructive (as it would solicit debate, you will only be getting opinions on which API is better not cold facts)

It opened May 19th and it is located in Plaza West at 3011 Anderson Avenue, next to Max Fitness.
LOCAL is donating all of its profits to the local area. By partnering with a new organization each month, LOCAL will be able to work alongside a variety of charitable programs and foundations within the community and donate profits directly to their cause. Over the course of a year, ten local charitable organizations will be selected to receive monthly profits from LOCAL. In the two remaining months, one in the spring and one in the fall, LOCAL will work with area schools and youth organizations that can sign up to receive a percentage of the sales for one evening.
Dave Dreiling, the owner of LOCAL, also owns GTM Sportswear in Manhattan. He says he profits from his other business ventures but LOCAL is his way of giving back to the community.
"We're doing something for something greater than ourselves. It's a higher cause for us," Dreiling said in an interview with 13 News.
LOCAL has secured a two-acre farm less than one half mile from the restaurant where fresh fruits and vegetables are grown to be incorporated into the menu. In addition to offering Kansas-fed beef, LOCAL will also depend upon area food vendors to provide the freshest ingredients that Manhattan and Kansas regional farmers have to offer.
"As much as possible, we're sourcing all of our food locally. I have a two acre garden that I'm currently growing and so we want to be able to pick fresh vegetables daily," Dreiling told 13 News.
To assist in selecting the local charitable organizations featured each month, LOCAL is establishing an advisory board to serve as its non-profit selection committee. Organizations interested in requesting an application for consideration can email Kari Krier at email@example.com or call 785.537.8822 ext 1234 or go online at www.LocalFoodandFriends.com.
According to the owner, the restaurant hopes to donate between $5-$10,000 each month to a different charity. The Flint Hills Breadbasket is the first organization chosen to receive the proceeds from the eatery's first month in operation.
"We are very humbled honored to have been chosen to be the first charity to receive 100% of the monthly profits by LOCAL," Maribeth Kieffer, Executive Director, Flint Hills Breadbasket, said "In the last ten months the Breadbasket has served over 10,157 more individuals compared to a year ago. As you can see, our need has increased significantly. We are very thankful for the support of LOCAL That kind of donation will help us serve so many more of the people that are in need in Manhattan, KS. We've increased our need by over a thousand every month since last August and finding ways to take care of everyone is a challenge and definitely this will help a lot."
"We think this is going to be sustainable so instead of a one time donation, we think this is an entity that can give and give and give. And we also think that in other communities, there will be philanthropists and entrepreneurs that will step up and potentially replicate this model as well. I don't see why we can have one of these in every community across America," Dave Dreiling added.
The restaurant is open seven days a week for breakfast, lunch and dinner.
Catering for everything from business lunches to casual events, including breakfasts, can be ordered through Adam Magette of HCI Hospitality at 785.341.4010.
