You don't need Sencha's help, LocalStorage is available on all the browsers Sencha Touch supports.
Just do:
localStorage.setItem('xyz', 5); alert(localStorage.getItem('xyz'));Chief Architect @ Jarv.us Innovations

Haha, ok, I won't be tooooo hard on ya. Actually, I don't really get mad at folks that use them. I just like to make sure they know what they did to us and know that there are other brands to try first. I know some rifles are only going to shoot b....s bullets well and not the competitors. And I can live with that (barely). I just think we owe it to ourselves to try others first. Besides, my dad uses them too in his .223, and I can't even begin to tell you how angry that makes me! But I haven't disowned him.......YET
I'm guilty for a reason. I want my son to be able to just pick up his rifle & hunt most anything, anywhere, in or out of the Condor zone. So far, the 110 gr (Barnes) Fed factory @ approx 3500 fps with good accuracy is the top choice. So pls do not be too hard on me Bisley.
Since it is the exact same material used on the jacket of leaded bullets, I can't see where it would be a problem. Since it is harder than pure copper though, it will not foul the barrel as easily too.
Research the Hornady GMX a bit. I remember reading somewhere that because the gilding metal is harder, it needs to be traveling at a certain minimum speed at point of impact to expand properly. I just don't remember offhand what that minimum speed was. It shouldn't be a problem with faster calibers but could be a problem in the slower calibers.
I have heard LOTS of stories about no expansion also. I wish I knew of some first hand experiences with them. Judging from what I've read (if it is indeed true) it seems like the ones that have had the most problems were the b....s bullets with the hollow point tip. I am guessing that this may be caused by the hollow point clogging with hair and such and acting as more of a FMJ. I do notice that I don't hear nearly as many horror stories about it now that they have all gone to a polymer tip which will help to start the expansion process better than a hollow point. But this is just what I have concluded, and is by no means pure fact.
I read different things about the GMX, TSX & other non lead bullets. I personally believe that non lead bullets are more inconsistent & less reliable as a whole, than are lead bullets. And maybe why so many mixed reviews. Maybe??

Hahahaha. Hipshot, that is why I have bought exactly ONE box in each caliber. I use 15 to see what it will do, and 5 as what I call "magazine fillers". As for getting caught with a leaded one in the chamber? Well, I'm pretty clumsy and may have an accidental discharge into the air when emptying it for anybody..........Not that I've thought about this or anything
Excuse me for not getting it.................why bother with this stuff? If I lived in the zone I would carry the legal stuff if anyone asked..................but I would use what I wanted. And for you guys that say your breaking the law...........so what, if I get caught, I pay the fine. No one in their right mind thinks this stuff works but it looks good on paper in Sacramento.

A couple(?) weeks ago or so, My wife got a $160 ticket for using a cell phone while driving. Her FIRST offense. But I blame that on her... for not being more observant. LOLI just returned from the range this morning testing some more lead free cxxp. Another possible problem is, that while non lead loads can be extremely accurate at 100 yards, they also can unravel at 2 & 300 yards. Or at least with some of the loads we tested. I mean opening up a LOT (4+") groups at just 200 yards. The same can happen to lead of course, but I've never seen it to that degree(bad); at least in our limited testing with the non lead. I also always wonder just how well the non lead really does in the wind or trajectory. Argggggg I've often thought about doing what Hipshot stated, using the lead anyway in the buzzard zone. But my bad luck is one concern, as I have been stopped and thoroughly checked several times in the buzzard zone, and I SELDOM hunt there anymore. My being checked was prior to the implementation of the non lead law. However, I no longer see game wardens anymore like I had in the past. Bad economy is not all bad I guess?! So???? LOLI wish I could say this (non-lead stuff) was a love-hate relationship, but I can't... as it's ALL HATE for me!Frank

For me it is much easier to use lead free ammo that is legal to use. Wearing a ammo belt under my shirt or driving hundreds of miles out of my way doesn't sound like it would be easier. The Condor Zone is not a little spot of land that everybody can just drive away from, the Condor Zone covers about 1/3 of the state. You wouldn't have to drive very far to spend 20 times more money on gasoline than you would spend on lead free ammo. There may not be any better places to hunt coyotes outside the Condor Zone than the places we hunt inside the Condor zone.I don't like this stupid lead free ammo law but I am not going to sell my house and move or quit hunting because of the stupid law!
They have these really cool things out there called ammo belts......the cheaper ones are made from canvas and fit real nice under a shirt .......now they may ask you to empty your pockets but I seriously doubt they will make you strip and they are too lazy to get to far from their trucks so you should be able to unload your gun and throw the one's in the brush when they aren't looking. I haven't been in that area in years is there really anything to hunt there? It seems to me it's eaiser to drive to a better area.
Posted 10 September 2011 - 07:47 AM
Well, IMO, the short answer is Yes, there are things to hunt there... And (2nd), while driving to a better area is certainly an option, it does not however, always make it the "best" option due to... Depending on how much "time" one has to go hunting. I can make it to my hunting spots in the Condor range anywhere from 1 1/2 - 3 1/2 hrs, depending on exact location. My "better" areas can take anywhere from 4-12 hrs. This makes it semi difficult, nor would I want to, run out to these better areas for a morning hunt & return home the same day. A BIG disadvantage for us city slickers!Also, as we all know, the closer to any city, the worse the hunting can be & is especially true where I live in L.A. County. That is unfortunately the price ($$$) us hunters have to pay living here. Anyway, like most things, the harder one works at something, the better the results one can normally achieve. Normally! This is ESPECIALLY true when hunting closer to a city like L.A. But, you are right. If I lived closer to a good NON lead area, I certainly would not be hunting the buzzard zone at all. It would not make any sense to me. But hey, whatever floats one's boat, eh? LOLFrank

Woodland defense too tough for Hearts
WATERBURY — The 46 points on Woodland High's half of Municipal Stadium's scoreboard weren't exactly surprising.
The zero on Sacred Heart's side was a bit more jarring.
The Hawks controlled every phase of Thursday night's game from start to finish as Tanner Kingsley threw five touchdown passes, and Woodland's defense held Sacred Heart to 51 yards in a season-opening 46-0 rout.
The Hearts had 14 yards in the first half, during which Woodland forced failed third-down conversions on all seven Sacred Heart opportunities. The Hawks' defensive front, anchored by linebackers Joe and Levi Fancher and lineman Eric Collodel, seemingly met running back Jaquan Overbey and quarterback Thomas Carissimi every other play in the first three quarters.
"I thought it made a statement," said Joe Fancher, who also rushed for a game-high 117 yards and a touchdown. "We have a lot of new guys on defense, but we've been working hard and that's how we're doing it."
"We work out butts off when it's really hot," Collodel said. "We took it to them on the line. Coach (Chris) Moffo prepares us for any front that comes at us."
Woodland head coach Tim Shea said his staff challenged the inexperienced defense, which returned only four starters, throughout the preseason.
"They know what people are saying about how we are defensively, and the coaches have been saying it, too," Shea said. "They played better tonight defensively than we thought they would. Everyone will look at the offense, but the defense helped us get the ball back on the other side of the field."
There was plenty of reason to look at the Hawks' offense, which reintroduced its spread look after a five-season hiatus. Kingsley, a junior in his second year as the starter, com-
See HAWKS, Page 4C
pleted five passes to five different receivers to start the game.
"We wanted to come out and force the tempo a little bit and impose our will," Shea said. "We were pretty good. Tanner moved the ball around to a lot of different guys."
Levi Fancher hauled in a seven-yard touchdown pass on the fourth play of the game following Anthony Scirpo's 62-yard return of the opening kickoff.
Kingsley hooked up with Rahmi Rountree on scores of 28 and 10 yards and also hit Scirpo with an eight-yard touchdown pass to give the Hawks a 27-0 lead after the first quarter.
"We set the tone," Kingsley said. "We have so many weapons on this team. The wide receivers work hard to get open and the line played great for me."
The left-handed quarterback started the game 9-for-9 before his 10th pass fell incomplete in the end zone.
"I was a little disappointed," Kingsley said of his first incompletion. "When I come out, I want to be perfect at everything I do."
His only other incompletion was a second-quarter interception he threw while under pressure. Kingsley finished 16-of-18 for 166 yards.
Scirpo gave Woodland a 33-0 lead with a 65-yard punt return for a touchdown 2 ½ minutes into the second period.
With about three minutes to go in the first half, Rountree and Sacred Heart's Shyquan Thompson got into an altercation after a play. The situation quickly escalated and ended after officials determined Rountree threw a punch at a Sacred Heart player.
The officials ejected Rountree, which means he will miss next week's game at Ansonia. Shea did not comment about the ejection, and Woodland cannot appeal the automatic suspension.
Kingsley's final touchdown pass came early in the third quarter when he connected with Scirpo on a five-yard slant to make it a 39-0 lead. Kingsley's five touchdowns tied a school record shared by Jared Katchmar and Alex Dorosh, who both ran the spread from 2003-06.
Joe Fancher finished the scoring a few minutes later with a two-yard run.
Sacred Heart got as close as Woodland nine-yard line late in the fourth quarter but couldn't break into the end zone. The Hearts played without David Coggins and Javon Martin, whose eligibility will be decided by the CIAC Board of Control at a meeting next Thursday.
"We didn't execute in any shape or form in any phase of the game," first-year Sacred Heart coach Cortez Johnson said. "I was disappointed in the effort we gave tonight. We definitely have talent on our team but we failed to come out here and do what we had to do."

My first time posting in this forum. This is not a homework problem. I am trying to learn my own from John M. Lee Introdcution to Smooth Manifolds.
In Chapter 3, there is the problem 3-4
Let $C \subset \mathbb{R}^2$ be the unit circle, and let $S \subset \mathbb{R}^2$ be the boundary of the square of side 2 centred at orign: $S= \lbrace (x,y) \colon \max(|x|,|y|)=1 \rbrace.$ Show that there is a homeomorphism $F:\mathbb{R}^2 \to \mathbb{R}^2$ such that $F(C)=S$, buth there is no diffeomorhpism with the same property. [Hint: Consider what $F$ does to the tangent vector to a suitable curve in C].
I can construct a homeomorphism (by placing the circle inside the square and then every radial line intersects the square at exactly one point.) But, I dont know how to do the rest of the problem or understand the hint.
I do not know how to write out what tangent space should be for the square. If there were a diffeomorphism than $F_\star$ is isomorphism between any two tangent space. If I show that the tangent space on the corner of square has dimension zero, would it solve problem?

I would like to be able to access my home machine's account over ssh from a remote desktop. It allows me to connect when I say ssh uname@ip_addr, but it then prompts for a password.
This account has no password set up. Is there some way to simply connect with no password? (Usually when the need arises to do this I'm on Mac OSX or FreeBSD, occasionally Fedora.) Any help would be appreciated. (A reference to a line on a man page or equiv. would be an acceptable answer.)

This is more a typography question than a TeX one, but can anyone recommend me a good monospaced font that blends well with Minion Pro?
I found this thread, because I had the same issue and I tested a huge bunch of teletype fonts and got stuck with
Which is equivalent to
In the following example of a bibliography with
If you want to typeset source code it might be better to use the tabular version of
which is equivalent to
This piece of code is taken from another answer I once gave.
Consolas is, I think, popular with Minion Pro but has licensing restrictions. The similarly-styled free font Inconsolata may be a better choice if you like this style. Inconsolata is licensed under the OFL and sponsored by the TeX Users Group Development Fund
The following two discussions on this site may be helpful:
Using Minion Pro for the main font
What best combination of fonts
Idris Samawi Hamid's 2005 paper for the NTG on Installing Expert Fonts: Minion Pro relates to ConTeXt but useful reading even if you are not using that and recommends Latin Modern for monospace and Euler for maths.
the LaTeX (Graphic) Companion uses Minion and
is another good choice
Consolas is available with installation of office.
Inconsolata is influenced by Consolas.
The best choice will be TheSansMono Cond by Lucas. He also designed Consolas for microsoft.
These three share the same style. TheSansMono Cond is the best but much more expansive than others. Inconsolata is free as free software. But it lack the subtle fine tuning of the other two. And it has less shapes which means you can not use it to typeset your code in different shapes or weights.

The question I am working on is, "Four universities—1, 2, 3, and 4—are participating in a holiday basketball tournament. In the first round, 1 will play 2 and 3 will play 4. Then the two winners will play for the championship, and the two losers will also play. One possible outcome can be denoted by 1324 (1 beats 2 and 3 beats 4 in first-round games, and then 1 beats 3 and 2 beats 4).
a) List all outcomes in $S$.
b)Let $A$ denote the event that 1 wins the tournament. List outcomes in $A$.
c) Let $B$ denote the event that 2 gets into the championship game. List outcomes in B.
d) What are the outcomes in $A \cup B$ and in $A \cap B$? What are the outcomes in $A'$?"
For part a), I got the set $S=\{1234, ~1432, ~1324, ~1342, ~2134, ~2431, ~2314, ~2143, ~3124, ~3421, ~3214, ~3142, ~4123, ~4321, ~4213, ~4132\}$ However, in the answer, 1234, 2134, 2143, 3421, and 4321 are not included in the sample space. And the ones I inadvertently omitted are 1423, 2341, 3241, 2413, and 4231.
Why didn't the answer key include the events that I did? From my understanding, the leading number in the string of digits is the ultimate winner, of both the preceding match to the championship and the championship itself. So, for instance, 1234 and 2134 would distinct events, because although 1 beat 3, 1 still didn't win the championship match in the 2134 as it did in 1234. Could someone possibly help me?

Using Excel 2007's Goal Seek Feature
The Goal Seek feature in Excel 2007 is a what-if analysis tool that enables you to find the input values needed to achieve a goal or objective. To use Goal Seek, you select the cell containing the formula that will return the result you're seeking and then indicate the target value you want the formula to return and the location of the input value that Excel can change to reach the target.
The steps below follow a specific example for using Goal Seek to help you better understand how to use this feature. Refer to the figures for guidance. To use Goal Seek to find out how much sales must increase to return a net income of $300,000 in the first quarter, follow these steps:
Select the cell containing the formula that will return the result you're seeking; in this example, cell B7.
This cell contains the formula that calculates the forecast for the first quarter of 2008.
On the Data tab, choose What-If Analysis→Goal Seek in the Data Tools group.
This action opens the Goal Seek dialog box. Because cell B7 is the active cell when you open this dialog box, the Set Cell text box already contains the cell reference B7.
Select the To Value text box and enter the goal
This is the value you want the formula in the Set Cell box to reach. In this example, it's 300000.
Select the By Changing Cell text box and select the cell that you want to change
Excel will change the value in this cell reference to try to reach the goal in the To Value box. In this example, cell B3 contains the first quarter sales. The absolute cell address, $B$3, appears in the text box.
Click OK.
Excel displays the Goal Seek Status dialog box along with the results. In this example, Excel increases the sales in cell B3 from $250,000 to $576,923.08, which, in turn, returns $300,000 as the income in cell B7.
If you want to keep the values entered in the worksheet as a result of goal seeking, click OK.
If you want to return to the original values, click the Cancel button instead. Notice that because all of the values in this table are formulas that ultimately are derived from the value in cell B3, all of the values changed when that cell value was updated during the Goal Seek process.
The Goal Seek Status dialog box informs you that goal seeking has found a solution and that the current value and target value are now the same. When this is not the case, the Step and Pause buttons in the dialog box become active, and you can have Excel perform further iterations to try to narrow and eliminate the gap between the target and current value.
To flip back and forth between the after and before values when you've closed the Goal Seek Status dialog box, click the Undo button or the Redo button on the Quick Access toolbar.

So in that movie, when Bruce Wayne makes his public appearance at the charity ball, when he gets out of his car, cameras start flashing and he has something in his hands and he presses a button when renders all cameras useless. What is that device and how does it work? Is it like a mini EM pulse? But that would effect all electronics in its range. In the movie it is implied that everything else like other bulbs/lights work fine. Its only the cameras that don't work all of a sudden.
And is it on his motorcycle too? Because the cops complain about the lights when he's in the tunnel and the lights seem to be going with him. As he moves away the lights come back on.

ManagedIFrame documentloaded not working properly
Hi All,
I have to load a document into ManagedIFrame, in which a mask is applied to the MIF, so that there will be a "loading" mask displayed till the document is loaded. please refer the code that I have used,
var mif = new Ext.ux.ManagedIFrame.Element(id); var myMask = new Ext.LoadMask(mif, {msg:Ext.LoadMask.prototype.msg,msgCls:'ext-el-mask-msg'}); myMask.show(); mif.setSrc(src, false, sample(myMask)); function sample(myMask) { alert("Doc Loaded"); myMask.hide(); }
Note: I am loading a HTML document which works fine with the code, the mask is hidden after the document load, but when I tried to display pdf, so that the document will be downloaded, after the downloading the "loading" mask is still displayed.
Please help me to resolve the issue.

I talked with Jenna yesterday about how she is getting ready to run the Chicago Marathon for World vision. Listen as she shares about her sponsorship and how the little girl she is sponsoring keeps her going on these long runs...
I was encouraged yesterday from a friend, who texted me to let me know that we are 13 sponsors away from our goal of having 1000 children sponsored during Love Around The World. I can't tell you how excited I am about that! If you are sponsoring a child, you are making such a difference in the weeks and years ahead for these kids. You are changing their life!
You can't change the world but you can change the world for that one child. If you would like to take Love Around The World visit http://www.worldvision.org/Love-around-the-world.
I looked at my Boston Terrier, Boggs, through tears this morning, realizing that he lives better than everyone that I had just met on this journey to take Love Around The World with World Vision. That humbled me to no end. I love my pets, they don't eat anything extravagant, go to doggie daycare, or require a whole lot of grooming, but I spend more to feed my pets every day than it costs to sponsor a child through World Vision.
I was sharing this with a friend, who said, "well, my dog is little, I don't spend more than $40/month to feed her", and than it hit her, that is more than $35/month that it takes to sponsor a child. I love our pets, they are wonderful, but I guess what hit me was how I don't think twice about caring for them, and yet how often do we wrestle with helping a fellow human being in need.
Last year, $52 billion was spent on our pets… $52 BILLION.
I was in tears because I realized that my dogs live better than the billions we met in every corner of the World. My pets never want for food, they always are warm, safe and dry, they have clean water, they get medical attention when they need it… Yet billions of kids do not.
I am not asking you to give up your pets, or not care for them… I am just wondering if you wouldn't help a child whose family lives on less than a $1/day, less than it costs me to feed my pets. Helping a child through World Vision costs only $35/month, the amount of love, care and hope that World Vision provides to a child for such a small amount of money is AMAZING! Seeing how child sponsorship transforms these children, their families and the communities that they live in is no less than miraculous.
In James, 1:27 it says, "Anyone who sets himself up as "religious" by talking a good game is self-deceived. This kind of religion is hot air and only hot air. Real religion, the kind that passes muster before God the Father, is this: Reach out to the homeless and loveless in their plight, and guard against corruption from the godless world."
I love that James doesn't mince words, describing "religion" that is all talk as "Hot Air", and in describing "Real Religion." James describes exactly what I have witnessed World Vision doing around the world... "Reaching out to the homeless and loveless in their plight". I hope that you'll join us in demonstrating "Real Religion", religion that passes the "muster of God the Father".
Help World Vision care for the "least of these"! Sponsor a child today!
In his new book Unfinished, World Vision President, Rich Stearns dedicates an entire chapter to the principal of "Magic Kingdom, Tragic Kingdom and God's Kingdom".
Disney's Magic Kingdom is where a world so perfect sweeps you away into a little slice of oblivion, a place that insulates you from all the ugliness and pressures of the outside world, a little slice of bliss that allows you to escape to the "happiest place on Earth." The concern that Rich has is that a lot of Christians that live in affluent cultures, like ours, live as what he describes, 'Magic Kingdom Christians.' We live in a sheltered world shaped by our affluence, living in our comfortable homes, driving in our comfortable cars, living in a world where our basic needs are met, and our kids get an education. We our enjoy vacations, our toys, cable TV, churches equipped with coffee bars, state of the art sound systems, amazing buildings… on and on the list goes.
I think that most of us could identify with Rich's description, and find ourselves described somewhere within it. His concern is that living in this Magic Kingdom has its consequences. Rich says, "The problem with living in the Magic Kingdom is that it profoundly shapes our Worldview. It effects the way we look at every dimension of our lives, our values, our expectations, our priorities, our money, our politics, and even the way we see our Christian faith."
Outside of our Magic Kingdom lives, lies a 'Tragic Kingdom,' a kingdom where much of the world lives. A kingdom where 1 billion people are starving to death, where 2 billion kids are suffering from malnutrition. Where nearly a billion are dying because they can't access clean water. Those living in the Tragic Kingdom are victims of human traffickers, warlords and diseases that have left 18 million orphans in their wake.
3 billion people, 1/2 of the World's population, live on less that $2/day, 4 ½ billion, live on less than $10/day. To put things into perspective, if you make $40,000 a year, you make more than 99% of the World's population; if you make just $13,000/ yr., you are in the top 10% of the entire World. The saddest Tragic kingdom statistic is that nearly 20,000 children under the age of five die EVERY DAY because of things that money can prevent. Nearly 8 million kids, 1 EVERY 4 seconds, will die this year because they don't have the food, clean water and medical treatment they need to survive… Tragic!
If these numbers shock you, they should. It isn't shocking that most of us living the Magic Kingdom life aren't aware, because often times we will go out of our way to avoid knowing. We don't like to be taken out of our comfort zone.
The problem is that living a Magic Kingdom life can get in the way of living the way Jesus described the 'Kingdom of God.' Rich Stearns writes in Unfinished, "God doesn't want our lives to be like that, God wants us to live in a different way, have a different vision of human thriving. More than 125 times, Jesus talks about the Kingdom of God, in parable after parable, Jesus describes a new dream for human society that turned the values of the World upside down. The 'Kingdom of God' is characterized by the values of God himself: integrity, mercy, compassion, forgiveness, faithfulness, justice and love. Jesus' followers would love their enemies, and be generous with their money and possessions."
Rich's advice is that we "return to the front lines, live radically different lives, work as Christ calls us to; making disciples of all nations and demonstrating God's love to a hurting World."
I have seen World Vision child sponsorship do that over the past two weeks, I have been amazed at how so little, about a $1/day, can transform not only a child's life, but their entire family and the community where they live.
You are richer than you think. You may not, single handedly, be able to solve all the world's problems, but you can START by helping solve the problems of just ONE child! If we all did just that, collectively, We Could Change the World, One Child at a Time!

No mystery to GOP's failures
Republicans once again failed to bring home the bacon in Connecticut. Campaign analysts are asking why.
This is an easy one. Republicans are outnumbered in the state about 2 to 1, a very steep hill to climb, and considering the historic nature of journalism in Connecticut, they cannot expect a leg up from the state's left-of-center news media. The Hartford Courant's presidential endorsement editorial, for instance, looked as if it had been dictated to the paper's editorial board by David Axelrod, and the paper's endorsement of Democrat Elizabeth Esty over moderate Republican Andrew Roraback was particularly self-serving.

text: The movie 'Escape from Planet Earth' is supposed to be good but I have my doubts since the last alien themed computer animated films have bombed in past, or at least in my eyes. But, I will give this movie the benefit of the doubt, because it's only fair. Anyways, here are two more figures that will be part of the story line. The first tut I will upload is "how to draw Lo", step by step from Escape from Planet Earth. Lo is a huge one eyed orange colored Cyclops like figure that becomes friends with Gary and eventually helps him make his various rescues. The movie opens up tomorrow so I would like to know firsthand what you folks thought about it and should I waste my money going to see it. If you do that, I would greatly appreciate it. After watching Wreck-it-Ralph in the theater, I'm pretty weary now when it comes to paying for a ticket to watch ANY CGI film. Well, that's it for this description. I will be back one more time with another for you all.

Education Friday
By Rebecca Teti
Fridays: Education
(Join each day's Coffee Talk discussion: Mon: Parenting; Tues: Open Forum; Wed: NFP; Thu: Marriage; Fri: Education; Sat/Sun: Changing Roles)
Whether your children attend school or are homeschooled, this is the spot to ask questions about curricula, religious education, parent-teacher relationships, or academic concerns of any kind.
Please join us!
What are you telling your kids about the Mayan calendar? Just wondering.
My daughter who had a MA in Education,educational counseling, with a PPS credential, opted to take a counseling job at an all girls Catholic high school (thank goodness most are still single sex). She was delighted to be at a school where she could talk about values , share her Catholic faith. When she got there, the new principal (not the one who hired her) said,haha as well as being the only counselor for the school, you have to teach 3 classes, and with a host of other responsibilities, she worked 18 hour days, 7 days a week...in a very, very poor school that needed a full time counselor (and more). At the end of the year, she was laid off so they could replace her with a part time person, substantially less (did I mention she was paid less than 1/2 what a public school counselor would make?) The principal cried and said she would write her a letter or recommendation ...but never did ..(the priest did, as well as the head of humanities Dept.)...and of course Catholic schools are exempted from paying into unemployment insurance ..so they can use, abuse, and spit out people...Hers is no at all an unususal story..she misses. "her girls " ..loves being Catholic, well educated, but used and driven out of Catholic education which still makes her sad..and in this poor economic time, unemployed.) Shame on the Church for another abuse of the human spirit..she deserves better....our children deserve better!
To Wondering: Catholic Schools here have to pay into unemployment, it's the law! I'm in NYC. It's sad your daughter had such a bad experience, It's true we don't get paid as much and have to put in just as much time as Public School teachers with not as many preps etc. It's unfortunate that Catholic Schools have become "businesses". Those of us who are teaching in the CS system are becoming disheartened. I wish there was a solution.

Did someone wake up on the wrong side of the world today?
Down voting has run amuk! LOL
11 Answers answer
Well. That's just not right. I'm voting this question UP! It's nice to be nice to the nice.
No, alot of these "deals" are crap.
@lavikinga: awww shanks! i was just scrolling down the deals and almost EVERY one of them had a -1 and some WERE really good deals - i guess people think because they don't need/want one, then it's not worthy - seems like that would be a good time to hold the finger ;9)
LMBO u-mad.....haaaaaaaaaaa haaaaaaaaaa
why you mad bro? u mad? straight up trollin....
DOH! Even my stupid comment got a downvote. And here I was trying to be nice. Little pissant.
I just posted a deal that is a sign that is a moving beach scene with sounds marked down about $20. No comments made, just two down votes. Had the individuals looked, there are also other neat things there. I really don't care, but it is a good site, and it is a deal. So, obviously the downvoters for whatever reason are out and about again this afternoon!
It's hot out and they're grumpy.
@klozitshoper: exactly - personally, it's not the votes but the sharing of a good deal that floats my boat, but i can't imagine what kind of d* bag just is so negative - ah well can't slap 'em all!
i was going to ask if this was around morning time but you posted this question in the afternoon time. did they all look like spammy deals?
It's raining and the rioters needed something to do

It was a day to honor those who protect and serve.
Bowling Green Police Chief Doug Hawkins presented dozens of employees with service awards for their continued hard work and dedication to the department.
The most prestigious award, Officer of the Year, was awarded to Ryan Dillon.
Dillon began as an officer, but was recently promoted to detective.
Police work is something Dillon says he will always love to do.
"A lot of people say they sign up for police work because you get to help people and that's true. It's rewarding helping people and doing good things and doing the right things. It's also fun and exciting and the good thing about this department is it's like a family," says Dillon.
Other awards handed out Friday include Civilian of the Year and three Life Saving Medals to officers who went above and beyond their call of duty.

In a basketball landscape often populated by chest-beating, jersey-popping stars, Butler High School's Demetrius McReynolds is a standout who possesses an uncommon quality: reticence.
The 6-foot-2, 195-pound shooting guard has the tools: pure shot, vertical explosiveness, chiseled frame.
And the numbers: 20.6 points per game, 9.4 rebounds, 53.2 percent shooting from the field, 39.5 percent from behind the arc.
What the mild-mannered senior doesn't have is even a trace of the arrogance so frequently excused, even heralded, as swagger.
"Even though he's a big-time player, he just plays within himself and doesn't worry about all the hype and attention," said longtime teammate RaShawn Farrell. "He does what he needs to do."
Don't confuse his reserved demeanor on the court with indifference, though.
"I play with passion. I just don't show it," McReynolds explained. "I've always been like that."
Known to his teammates as "Meechie," the three-year starter is the most prolific cog on a Butler squad that, at 5-1 entering this week, is off to the program's best start since 2003-04.
"He's probably the best shooter I've ever coached," said Bears coach Shawn Purlee. "He's got the green light to shoot it every time he catches it."
Butler, a team with no starters taller than 6-foot-2, began the season in the shadows of Sixth Region heavyweights Bullitt East and PRP, but a tight loss to the Chargers on the road (57-61 on Dec. 4) and an overtime upset of the Panthers (66-64 on Dec. 7) served notice that the bantam squad had found ways to compensate.
"We're small and we think we can outrun everybody, so every time we step on the court we think we can win," said McReynolds, whose game meshes well with the high-tempo style of play.
"It helps us that he can grab a rebound and lead the break," said Purlee. "He can do all the things perimeter players need to do. He's strong at finishing so if he does attack the rim he can absorb contact and finish."
Flanking McReynolds in a balanced attack are Farrell, a 6-foot-1 senior point guard averaging 9.8 points and sophomore guard Jeremiah Bell (12.4 ppg., 3.6 apg.). Will Johnson, another sophomore guard, is chipping in 9.8 points and 4.8 rebounds a game as well.
On defense McReynolds is tasked with stopping the opposing team's tallest player. "I just use my quickness to get around them and don't let them post me up," McReynolds said.
Although he counts Kobe Bryant and Derrick Rose as his favorite pros, McReynolds said his biggest influence has been Antonio Sullivan, a cousin who starred at Iroquois and is now a senior at Kentucky State.
"(I admire) the way he shoots, creates his shot and his work ethic," said McReynolds.
College ball is on the horizon for McReynolds, too. Although he is still waiting for his first scholarship offer, Samford, Morehead State, Eastern Kentucky and Murray State have all shown interest.
"I think he's ready to go to the next level," said Purlee. "If he'll buy in to everything in college, he could be that guy who could go overseas and play somewhere because basketball is that much of a passion for him."

1969 Dodge Charger - The 515 GTBWritten by on June 15, 2009 Contributors: Randy Lorentzen American Muscle Collides With Ferrari Design
In 1969 a talented European race car technician named Robert Solorzano found himself pondering a purchase that most of his coworkers considered ludicrous: an American muscle car. Though constantly surrounded by some of the continent's finest high-strung and expensive race cars from Ferrari, Lola, and Jaguar, Robert couldn't help gravitating back toward the cars he'd lusted after in his youth.
Robert was born and raised stateside and cut his teeth building and tuning Fords, Chevys, and Dodges. His talent scored him a job offer full of promise--provided he was willing to relocate to Europe. For a while, he did fine, adjusting to the banshee shriek of 12 tiny cylinders versus the deep, primal percussion only eight big bores can provide, but the often overly complex and finicky engines left him longing for the simpler, large-displacement V-8s. One car in particular crossed his mind more than any other: the Dodge Charger. He'd always wanted one, and the comparatively large, slab-sided, blunt-nosed body was the ideal antithesis of everything Robert was surrounded by. No one would understand it, but it didn't matter--that would actually be half the fun. Ignoring derision from friends, he ultimately decided to make the leap, bought one, and had it shipped to Italy.
When it arrived, Robert was pleased with the big B-Body and all the stares it garnered, but just like any red-blooded gearhead, he immediately began making a mental list of modifications he wanted to do. Getting American parts would be difficult and costly, but he already had a plan: He'd use what was at hand and incorporate parts and ideas taken from the race cars he worked on. Most would come from the Ferrari marquee, but he'd also borrow from Lola and Jaguar.
At least that's the yarn Steve Strope spun for the real Robert Solorzano over a cup of coffee in his office at Pure Vision Design in Simi Valley, California, to help explain the mental picture he had been developing for his proposed project car. Robert soaked in the concept as he stared at the rendering Steve had commissioned. He loved it; the car was exactly what he had been waiting for.
Robert had first come to Steve after falling in love with his work on Hammer, the '70 Plymouth Road Runner Steve built for Eric Reed. Initially he'd been saving and planning to build his Charger into a General Lee clone, but Hammer's artful blending of European elegance and flair with classic Detroit iron caused a 180-degree spin in thought. Robert visited Pure Vision with a small silver model of a Charger in hand and asked Steve to help him flesh out his new vision. Pure Vision had previous obligations at the time that would backlog the shop for the next couple of years, but Robert was resolute in his decision. He put down a deposit and asked Steve to put his Charger in line and let him know as soon as he could begin. Honored by Robert's determination, Steve made extra effort to get the Charger in as soon as possible.
Far from pristine, Robert's faded yellow 440-equipped '69 RT/SE Charger had plenty of wear and tear and rust holes that would require some quality time at the body shop. Starting with a different car would have been much easier, but this one had been Robert's object of obsession for 10 years. It took a two-year search to find it and Robert smiled ear-to-ear while driving it home, despite nearly passing out from exhaust fumes floating up through the floorboards. Robert survived that first trip, but the Charger never cranked again. He'd spent his last dime on it and decided to just tuck it away and start saving money again. Now, a decade later, with a burgeoning new performance parts company called Purpose Built (www.purposebuilt.com), Robert was finally ready to clean out the Christmas decorations and empty beer cans and remove the Charger from its "garage black hole," as he likes to call it.
Whereas Hammer wore subdued gray-and-black hues and understated styling like a Mercedes, everything about this project needed to flow as if the Charger had rolled out of Maranello. To firmly establish the theme and ensure all the elements flowed in a unified direction, Steve immediately assigned the Charger a new identity. From then forward it would be known as the 515 GTB, references to the planned cubic inches and Ferrari's nomenclature for Gran Turismo Berlinetta. From that point forward Steve became the technician in his story, carefully choosing elements from his personal favorite classic European sports cars. "I grew up 40 minutes away from Watkins Glen, so I was around as many European road race cars as I was muscle cars," Steve says.
At a cursory glance, the GTB could be dismissed as just another Charger with an exceptional paint job and custom wheels. While no actual vintage European parts were used, from any angle--front, side, rear, bottom, under the hood, and behind the wheel--the European touches abound. To truly appreciate the melding of design cues takes time spent soaking in the details, as well as some working familiarity with vintage European sports cars. Some question the custom Merlot paint and the offset stripe versus the obvious Ferrari red, to which Steve answers, "Traditional red just wouldn't have been right for this car, so I went with a darker color like I've seen on a few Jaguars and Ferraris. There are lots of bright-red Chargers; this one needed to be classier." And those custom wheels? They're large-diameter copies of those found on a Lola T70.
While handmade and custom touches abound, each part was given special attention to make it appear to have been factory made for the 515. The front and rear suspensions, for instance, were coated in silver cadmium plating reminiscent of that found on a Ferrari 250 Testarossa. Sliding behind the Momo wheel--from the righthand side of course--the driver is greeted by a cluster of vintage-style gauges marked in Italian. Adjustable, floor-mounted Tilton pedals and an extended Passon Performance shifter follow the Italian concept of making the car easy to drive quickly. In fact, Steve took a page from Aston Martin and tailored the interior to comfortably fit Robert, including the custom padding in the cutdown and reshaped stock seats.
In the end, what was created was a Charger that elicits different responses depending on the frame of reference and time taken to consider the influences. Some, of course, quickly look it over, note a few of the changes, and chalk it up as just another well-built show car. But those who take the time to consider the theme of the car and discover the roots of the various styling cues are rewarded with a much deeper appreciation of what the 515 GTB really is: an American muscle car built in the finest European tradition.

The unique Italian gauges were built by Classic Instruments and tucked into a custom panel made by Pure Vision. The distinctive hump in the dash over the cluster is actually from a '56 F-100.The Tilton pedals were hit with the same plating as the suspension. The red switch arms all electric circuits, and the pushbutton is the starter. Note the aluminum cylinder hanging below the dash; that's part of the electric power steering unit from Flaming River.Gold Coast Customs took the rough Charger to slick perfection and mixed the custom Glasurit color dubbed Merlot. Original Lola wheels were cast aluminum, and re-creating them in billet took large, expensive blocks and a great deal of machining by Bonspeed. The brakes are 14-inch Wilwoods and the tires are Pirelli P Zeroes.To take the Charger from its elephant on stilts stance and sketchy handling, Steve looked to Reilly MotorSports and its AlterKtion front coilover kit. Flaming River joints were used with custom stainless shafts for the steering linkage.The rear leaf springs were exchanged for a triangulated four-link system with Romic adjustable coilovers designed by Pure Vision. Inspired by more modern European race cars, Pure Vision integrated an air jack kit from Genesis into the chassis to look like a factory installation.Power is ushered through an aluminum-case A833 four-speed with an overdrive conversion by Passon Performance. The custom TTI headers dump into a 3-inch stainless exhaust by Fast Intentions with Stainless Works mufflers ending with European-styled tips.The lightweight, spun-aluminum Talbot mirror was moved several inches forward on the door for a more natural viewing angle.

ROGERS CITY — A local small town movie theater won't have to close its doors after it successfully met and surpassed its fundraising goal on Kickstarter.com to purchase a digital projector.
The "Save the Rogers City Theater" drive was a success. On Sept. 19, a total of 51 days into a 60-day campaign, pledges on Kickstarter.com surpassed the $100,000 needed to "go digital." This will allow the historic, restored theater to purchase and install a state-of-the-art digital projector. The 76-year-old theater will not go dark when Hollywood completes its distribution conversion from 35mm to digital.
Karl Heidemann has been the owner of the Rogers City Theater for 10 years, and has said the conversion is even more expensive for his venue since it is only a uniplex (one screen) and there is not a large population base.
Kickstarter is a website that allows for-profit companies to try and find investors. The amount needed has to be entered and if the goal is not reached by the deadline, potential investors get their money back.
All additional pledges to the Rogers City Theater campaign will be used to purchase new auditorium seats to replace the existing circa 1948, Truman-era theater seats with bigger, more comfortable seats with cup-holders. As of Sept. 26, 542 backers had pledged $110,790.
Each new seat with a cup holder costs about $200. The Kickstarter reward for a $10 pledge will include the backer's name on the roll of backers. The Kickstarter reward for a $200 pledge includes two tickets, popcorn and pop and it will pay for one new seat. The Kickstarter reward for $2,000 pledge includes a theater party for 100 people and it will pay for 10 new seats.
Pledges can still be made to the campaign until 10 a.m. on Sept. 28. Pledges can be made by visiting www.kickstarter.com and entering "Rogers City Theater" in the search box. Pledges made on kickstarter.com are processed by Amazon.com. Amazon accepts gift cards as well as conventional credit cards.
The Rogers City Theater serves as both a movie theater and a performance venue for theater productions and concerts.

Imagining Eden: Connecting Landscapes
March 31–June 3, 2007
This project represents a long-term study of idealized human-made landscapes by California-based artist Lyle Gomes. Created over a sixteen-year period, Gomes's images of parks, golf courses, gardens, and garden cemeteries explore the enduring human impulse to shape the landscape and to strive for a harmonious balance between humankind and nature. Gomes's meditative horizontal-format photographs examine this intermingling of constructed features with the felicitous "accidents" of natural forms.
Imagining Eden: Connecting Landscapes is made possible by Ford Motor Company Fund, as part of its support of UMMA's 2006–07 season.
Additional support for this exhibition has been provided by the University of Michigan's Office of the President, Comerica Bank, Michigan Radio, the W. Hawkins Ferry Fund and the Doris Sloan Memorial Fund.more info

MAIN SPEAKER — Ohio State head football coach Urban Meyer was the featured speaker Monday at the 15th-annual Lou Holtz/Upper Ohio Valley Hall of Fame induction banquet at St. Florian Hall.
-- Mike Mathison
Meyer began his coaching career in 1986 as a graduate assistant for the Buckeyes.
He spent two years at Illinois State and six at Colorado State before Holtz hired him as a wide receivers coach at Notre Dame.
Meyer was the head coach at Bowling Green (16-6, 2001-02), Utah (22-2, 2003-04) and Florida (64-15, 2005-10, two national championships) before taking over the Buckeyes a year ago.
"My experience in Ashtabula, Ohio, on my high school team, if you watch the way we practice, the way we handle our players, the way we love our players, the way we push our players, it's the same thing I learned in 1981-82 at Ashtabula St. John High School with the great coaching I had," Meyer said.
"It was also the Woody Hayes era, the way he treated his players, the way a premium was placed on education, how he loved his players, how he pushed them very hard to be excellent, not only in football, but off the field as well."
Only two coaches have had more victories in their first 10 years as a head coach than Meyer's 104: George Woodruff (124 between 1892-1901 at Pennsylvania) and Bob Stoops (109 between 1999-2008). Note: records include at least five years as a Division I coach.
Meyer has won 13 games three times during his career, including back-to-back in 2008 and 2009 to become the first BCS coach to ever accomplish that feat.
His teams are 21-3 in rivalry games - Bowling Green was 1-1 vs. Toledo; Utah was 4-0 vs. Utah State and BYU; Florida was 16-2 vs. Florida State, Tennessee and Georgia; and Ohio State is 1-0 vs. Michigan.
His teams are also 68-18 in conference play with four championships (two apiece at Utah and Florida). They are 2-1 in SEC title games and 7-1 in bowl games, including a 4-0 record in BCS bowl games.
The Buckeyes became the sixth team in school history to go undefeated a year ago, 12-0, while on probation.
"It was arguably the most refreshing year in college football that I've had," he said. "I got into coaching to be around great leaders and great people."
While the possibility of playing a bowl game was there, the NCAA hit the Buckeyes with no bowl game due to the NCAA infractions, which had nothing to do with the any players on Meyer's team.
"I called my seniors in and didn't know one of them," he said. "I had high expectations for Ohio State kids because that's the type of player that we regularly get.
"I started to sell them on our program and it was pure faith because they had no idea. We were a new staff coming in. There were some great things done prior to us coming here.
"The NCAA says this about the rule that if you are on probation or if you lose a bowl game, you can stand up, walk out that door and, without penalty, go play for any school in America.
"Obviously, I was in panic because we had some pretty good players in that senior class, from what I was told.
"Not one of them left and I didn't quite understand why.
"Here are guys who basically just had their collegiate careers ripped apart for something they didn't do. They (the NCAA) came in and told our players they couldn't go and, they added this, 'oh, by the way, you did nothing wrong.'
"Think about that for a minute. A group of players sat right in front of me, did nothing wrong, but they had their dreams taken away from them.
"You come to Ohio State to play in bowl games. You get a great degree as well. You come to play in championships. You come to get rings."
No seniors left and it was time to work.
"I undervalued the leadership and chemistry of our team," Meyer admitted.
"Here are the top two reasons why those guys didn't leave.
"No. 1, their genuine, not fake, great love for Ohio State University. They really love Ohio State.
"No. 2, and I get chills even thinking about it to this day, their genuine love and respect for each other. That doesn't happen every day in college football. I got to coach that team.
"Was it a great coaching job? No, it was very average.
"But, to give credit where credit is due, it's some of the most incredible leadership I've ever been around.
"The players ripped their chests open and really played for each other."
So, what's next?
"I am looking forward to the season," he said. "We have a great group of guys. Are we a great team? We're not a great team yet, but we don't have to be. We have some time to get them ready.
"We'll probably be a little more talented at some of the skill positions on offense.
"On defense, we lost some very good players, but we recruited well and have some really good players there.
"If we can somehow develop a similar-type leadership, I don't know that we can match the leadership we had, but if we can develop some leadership, you'll see Ohio State doing some damage in November and compete for championships, which is why you come to Ohio State."

I have a standard account with no password, then in the terminal it aksed for my password to install a program, I tried just ENTER and the adminstrators password but none worked, then I tried to create a password but I can't cause it says that the current password is wrong, but I haven't made a password yet! what's going on? Any ideas?
From my reading of your question it appears that you already have an administrator user on the machine, and you do know that user's password. From that administrator's account you added another user account, without setting a password for it. Now, when you log in as that second non-admin user, you can't install programs because it asks you for a password and you can't give it the password because you haven't set it. Is that right?
If I understood you right, then you need to do the following steps:
After that your
I hope you must have entered a password during installation for sure, if you dont remember and you have access to any other user account with administrator privileges, you can set password for this user from that account. For that you can use terminal,
Login to other account
ctrl+alt+t brings terminal screen type
sudo passwd rohith
here instead of rohith give user name of locked account for which you have lost password.
now you have to enter current user password and then you can enter new password for the other user. and then login to that account with that password.
Second method is by logging into debug mode from grub, and following same command as above
It seems that the root (administrator) user doesn't have a password. Just open a Terminal (Dash >> Terminal) and enter the following command:
And then enter the password twice. If it doesn't work (sudo shouldn't work if root hasn't a password) try logging in as root on a separated TTY. Please, read all the answer before continuing! Press
And enter the password twice. Maybe it'll work!

St. John gets by SCC, 34-29
Following a win over cross-street rival Bellaire last weekend, St. John Central veteran girls' basketball coach Robert "Bubba" Kapral was worried heading into Wednesday night's contest with visiting Steubenville Central.
"Coming into this game I was a little worried," he admitted. "Going into the Bellaire game we were wired up and ready to play. I was worried about us being flat tonight. We were feeling too good about that Bellaire win."
He was right on the money as his team came out flatter than a stack of wafer-thin pancakes, but the Lady Irish (3-1) were able to manage a 34-29 victory over the Crusaders (2-2) inside the Green House on Guernsey Street.
"We told the girls that we didn't play with a lot of energy or passion, but we had enough talent and grit to get it done," Kapral noted.
The Irish misfired on seven of their first eight shots from the floor, but played well enough on the defensive end to be able to reel off six straight points to end the first period with a 7-6 edge.
Steubenville Central used a basket by Michaela Torrance to gain the upperhand, 14-13, with just under a minute left in the first half, but Kristen Russell knocked down 1 of 2 free throws at the 34.7 second mark for a 14-all deadlock at the half.
Trailing 16-14 early in the third panel, St. John Central made its move, and did so without freshman point guard Marissa Rose who was saddled with three fouls.
Russell, an all-district performer last season as a junior, netted six of her game-high 11 points to ignite an 8-0 spurt that gave the hosts a 22-16 lead it would not relinquish.
"Kristen is a player," Kapral said of the 5-7 forward.
Union Local transfer Caitlin Sliva also connected for two points in the spree.
After the Crusaders cut the deficit to one, 22-21, late in the period, St. John Central's Morgan DeLuca made it 24-21 after 24 minutes.
"A big key was the play of Sliva and (Jessica) Alvey in the third quarter," Kapral recalled. "They both came in off the bench and gave us a spark when we had girls in foul trouble."
The Irish tallied eight of the first 12 points in the final chapter to build a 7-point, 32-25, margin.
Miranda Parkinson's bonus bomb made it a 32-28 game, but St. John Central held on despite numerous turnovers down the stretch.
"It wasn't pretty at times, but we'll take the 'W'," Kapral said "We gutted it out down the stretch."
Rose, a promising frosh, backed Russell with eight points. She also charted a trio of steals and four rebounds. Russell finished with six boards and four steals. DeLuca had six points and seven caroms, while freshman Lindsey Froehlich had five points and a like number of rebounds.
Steubenville Central held a slim, 33-31, margin off the glass as Rachel Riguad grabbed eight.
The Crusaders turned the ball over 19 times, four more than the Irish, but 11 of St. John Central's miscues came after the half.
St. John Central remains on the home hardwood tonight as Toronto visits. Varsity scoring:
STEUBENVILLE CENTRAL (29) - Knight 4 0-0 8; Irvin 2 0-0 4; Riguad 1 0-0 2; Parkinson 2 1-2 7; Mirabella 3 0-0 6; Re. Dziewatkoski 0 0-0 0; Torrance 1 0-0 2; Hartzell 0 0-0 0; Ondos 0 0-0 0; Virture 0 0-0 0; McComb 0 0-0 0; Totals: 13-46 1-2. ST. JOHN CENTRAL (34) - Russell 4 3-4 11; Coppa 0 0-0 0; Deluca 3 0-0 6; Froehlich 2 1-2 5; Rose 4 0-0 8; Sliva 1 0-0 2; Alvey 1 0-0 2; Totals: 15-43 4-6.

6 Random Things (Other Than Drugs) That Reduce Pain
Your nearest drugstore is full of completely fake pain remedies, from shoe magnets to magical ground-up shark bones. But while these new age medicines are little more than placebos, science has found a whole lot of unexpected -- and downright weird -- ways you can control pain without ever swallowing a pill.
Things like ...
#6. Touching Money
There is more to life than money. Money is the root of all evil. Money can't buy happiness. You've been warned your whole life not to become too attached to money, so after all that brainwashing, you should be repelled by the mere sight of cash.
"Seriously Rick, stop tracking that shit into my house."
Not exactly. Despite society's best attempts to keep you grounded, your brain loves money. It loves it so much that just handling it actually works as a drug. In a study in China, participants placed their hands into very hot water for a short period of time. The participants who had just handled a stack of bills before the test showed a higher pain threshold than those who had just handled blank paper.
A stack of Franklins does more than any sled.
That is, the people who got to hold money right before shoving their hands into hot water found the temperature more bearable than those who held regular paper. Keep in mind, the people didn't think they would get to keep the money or anything like that -- simply being in physical contact with it made them feel less pain.
Based on these results, the researchers think money might also help lessen emotional pain, making things like breakups easier to deal with.
"You keep right on banging my brother, Shelly!"
#5. Eating
In our ever-expanding society, "comfort eating" has become a pretty familiar concept. You get emotionally or physically hurt, you comfort yourself by eating the shit out of your favorite food, most likely some sort of dessert.
Such as the Gingerdead Man.
But that's just because we're a gluttonous culture, right? It doesn't matter if you aren't hungry -- you just keep eating because for whatever reason, you feel happier shoving that next Oreo into your mouth.
Actually, we can thank evolution for this one. Humans haven't always had it so good on the food front -- for most of our history, food was pretty damn scarce. If you managed to find or kill something to eat, you damn well found a way to make it last, because who the hell knew when you'd get your next meal. Due to this sad reality, our brains developed in a way that said, "If there is food in front of me and I am eating it, everything else can fuck right off," including any wounds you may have suffered in achieving said food.
It's hard to swallow while you're choking back tears.
Today, with food readily available to almost everyone in the Western world, this comforting, pain-relieving feeling may be contributing to the obesity epidemic.
Cheeseburger pizza might also be playing a substantial role.
#4. Music
If you've ever had a massage, you know they play soft, relaxing music in the background to help relieve some painful tension. But, the smooth sounds of Enigma might not necessarily be the best thing for you.
Or for anyone, really.
It turns out that listening to your favorite music -- even if that music is death metal songs specifically about pain -- allows you to tolerate up to twice your normal threshold of pain. Basically, the amount of pain you think you are feeling drops significantly.
And we're not talking getting through a headache or stubbing your toe on your Rock Band drum set. This study was done on people enduring long-term hospital stays and people who suffer from chronic pain, and all of the study participants were on seriously hard drugs for treatment. The addition of their favorite music to their hospital rooms dramatically decreased the pain they were feeling.
Listen to Slayer, gain a barbarianlike immunity to pain.
Now you might shrug this off and say, "Of course, it's a distraction. You're not thinking about the pain, so you don't feel it so much." But the weird thing is that only music appears to have this effect. The study also looked at other forms of brain-occupying stimuli, such as math puzzles, artwork and listening to comedians, none of which had anywhere near the same effect as music.
Sometimes comedians cause pain.

It's been a busy couple of weeks at our house. We finally got the house completely painted between the rains. There are more plans for inside, but we'll wait for cooler weather. I had a chance to visit the library in Newtonia. I'm really glad it is there and hope to go through my many bookshelves and contribute a volume or two.
I also had a meeting at the Carver Monument in regards to the little school house in Neosho which the Carver Birthplace Association wants to restore. The board is making progress and I hope they can make it happen.
Dick Keezer's sister Joan is here for a visit, and she and Bill are staying with Russell and me. We had the privilege of spending time with Joan several years ago at her home in New Hampshire so we are glad to repay the hospitality.
And of course we have had a lot of rain these two weeks. Sometimes we think we have too much rain but better to be wet than dry. Our garden is doing very well — at least I think it is doing well for the squirrels.
The squirrels are having a feast in our tomato patch. The minute a tomato starts turning pink, they are all over it. One squirrel I have watched gets a tomato and then scampers up the big evergreen tree. He chooses a favorite spot on a favorite limb and starts eating. But by the time he has about a fourth of the tomato eaten, he's apparently full. So, he merely tosses the tomato onto the ground below. Then when he's hungry again, he gets another one.
We have to fight for every tomato we get. The squirrel bides his time. I'm sure he knows that eventually we will go on our way and he has full possession of whatever tomato he wants.
With all the rain, our house became a haven for ants. When I see ants, I get very busy. We fought them for a couple of days until we could get a pest control man in to do the job professionally. He managed to get the job done one day when we got a little break from the rain. He sprayed both inside and outside and the ants are gone for at least another year. We hope.
It was a sad day to see the Bud Combs house going down. Unfortunately, it was a landmark that was treated shabbily by our city and died a shameful death. The only hope left would be that the city was wise enough to salvage some of the treasures from the house. It was full of things that are highly valued today. Things such as big timbers, flooring, solid interior doors, hinges, doorknobs, brackets, and cabinetry, and the house had beautiful trim around the porch and at the gable. All that is highly desirable to those who salvage and restore homes, buildings and even furniture.

Many women have decided that they want a pain-free delivery with an epidural (see Considering an epidural) even before they go into labor. It's good to know, however, that labor has to be well established before you can have an epidural, so you'll still experience some painful contractions. Epidurals generally work well, but sometimes the block isn't complete or is more effective on one side than the other. Some women decide to have an epidural because they know they're unlikely to cope well with labor pain. Many women start off saying that they don't want an epidural and change their minds halfway through-if it's your first pregnancy, you can't possibly know how you'll feel.
An elective cesarean is one that is planned and generally performed for medical reasons-for example, because of a low-lying placenta-and not simply because a woman wants to have one. Having a cesarean is major abdominal surgery and in most circumstances it is safer to have a vaginal delivery. Recovery after a cesarean usually takes longer than after a vaginal birth, so one is only performed if necessary.
This condition is an intense fear or dread of childbirth. There are two types: primary tocophobia predates pregnancy and can start as early as adolescence; secondary tocophobia is associated with an earlier traumatic experience in childbirth. This fear can manifest itself as nightmares, intense anxiety, or panic attacks.
If you have tocophobia, your doctor will refer you to a consultant obstetrician who deals in mental health issues, or you may be referred directly to a psychologist to discuss your fears. Some experts believe that hypnotherapy can help to tackle any subconscious fears of childbirth. An elective cesarean may be recommended if your fear of having a vaginal birth cannot be overcome.
You may need to experiment to find lovemaking positions that are comfortable. Most women find that the missionary position becomes increasingly uncomfortable as your partner presses on your belly. You may find being on top is enjoyable and does not put pressure on your belly. Lying in the spoons position, with your partner behind you, can also be pleasurable. Other positions that don't restrict your pleasure and are comfortable include sitting together, kneeling while your partner enters from behind, and lying side by side with your legs entwined.

What are your thoughts on limiting the maximum number of questions people can ask?
First things first: do you even think asking (too) many questions is a problem? I personally don't know if this is an isolated incident, acceptable, or hard to prevent.
I see a user who consistently asks trivial questions preferring stackoverflow.com to google, and it's discouraging to see this behavior tolerated. I think it's disrespectful to the community for somebody to ask its members to google and type code for them.
This person consistently posts several questions a day with a current question count of roughly 850 and answer count of 50 over 1 year.
Based on the raw Q volume, it's almost as if multiple people are using the same account.
Some ideas to get started:
- No more than X per day, Y per month, Z consecutive question days, etc.
- Limit based on answers provided. (Q count vs A count, or Q Votes vs A Votes)
- What is a reasonable question count? How many users post over 50 questions a month?
- How many users have highly skewed Q A ratios? Is it normal to have 10x Q vs A?
I think there has to be something in place that at least discourages question spamming for the users who take this site seriously. If everybody started typing questions into SO as a replacement for google, I'd run away. It's only a theory, but I think quality control is important for morale.
To summarize: I'm curious if you think this is a problem (OR: it's a free world, this is a Q&A site, I'm only seeing a small piece of SO, [insert other]), and is there is a clean solution to it?

TOPEKA – Kansas Department of Health and Environment (KDHE) has updated the School and Child Care Immunization Information for the 2012-13 school year at www.kdheks.gov/immunize/schoolInfo.htm. The information provided on the KDHE website is based on the Advisory Committee on Immunization Practices (ACIP) recommendations and the consensus of the Governor's Child Health Advisory Committee Immunization Work Group.
Changes for the 2012-13 school are minimal. Each required vaccination increased by one grade level. Vaccination requirements such as Hepatitis B have been phased in over the past years. The 2012-13 school year will be the first year that all students will be required to have a complete three-dose Hepatitis B vaccination series.
Updated reports are:
* School & Child Care Immunization Requirements for 2012-13. www.kdheks.gov/immunize/download/2012-13_School_Requirement_Memo.pdf
* Kansas Certificate of Immunization (KCI) includes detailed school immunization requirements by age group. www.kdheks.gov/immunize/download/KCI_Form.pdf
* Recommended Immunization Schedules for Persons Aged 0-18 Years. www.kdheks.gov/immunize/download/2012-combined-4%20page-imm-schedule.pdf
"Vaccines are vital to keeping Kansas students healthy so they can have an optimal learning experience," said Robert Moser, M.D., KDHE Secretary and State Health Officer. "Efforts by child care providers and schools have been central to the success of public health efforts in eliminating vaccine preventable diseases."
The Bureau of Disease Control and Prevention (BDCP) supports public health by assessing problems and consulting on the appropriate medical and administrative measures to prevent and control single cases and outbreaks of disease. This is accomplished by applying epidemiologic processes and providing core public health services to intervene in the spread of infectious diseases.
BDCP provides immunization services including Vaccines for Children and the Kansas Immunization Registry, KSWebIZ. For more information about the Immunization Program, go to www.kdheks.gov/immunize/.

I'm working on a few small games, and I was wondering if I should use American or British English for my user interface? I'm not targetting any specific country, and this will probably be the only localization.
As much as it pains me to say it (as a Brit), if you're not going to have any localisation go with American spellings. This will be the preferred spellings for the vast majority of users - either as native speakers (Americans far outnumber the British) or as second language speakers (though there are significant number of those who use British English spellings).
The only exception would be if you are going for a "quirky, English vibe" for your game.

Does anyone here know of a webcam (at least 720p) that has the ability to focus to infinity?
At least one webcam I know of (Logitech C910) doesn't allow that.
I would like to use it for time lapse photography of landscapes (including in Infrared).
I have a Microsoft LifeCam Studio, and it can focus to infinity (it's AF).
I don't know how easy it would be to remove the IR filter, though. It's basically an aluminium tube.
My first recommendation is going to be the Logitech Quickcam Vision Pro 9000. I do not have first hand experience, but based off of this Youtube video, I would say it does what you are looking for(with the exclusion of infrared which can be added).
Beyond that, I think you are really looking for a professional grade webcam that is meant to be used outdoors, and include features like pan, tilt, and optical zoom. I do not have experience with these.

Raising Children Free of Prejudice
7 of 9
Every Family's Job
All parents can and must work to see that their involvement in local schools, religious groups, and community organizations helps to promote racial respect and cooperation. Again, our daily lives are the most influential teaching tools we have. Given the racial conflicts and misunderstanding that are still so much a part of our society, we can't expect our children to grow up free of prejudice with no effort on our part. Changed racial attitudes in our children's generation can only come from our positive work today.

Great little drive! Sounds like it's a bit slow but pretty cool for what it is! Too bad they don't have a USB 3 version of this. I can't find ANYTHING like that...
Most reviews for these smaller drives seem to say they get excessively hot, though the one I've owned seemed to do alright.
They make for great portable linux boot disks that you can leave in on a laptop.
I've got an old XP laptop I can't seem to part with. This will prop it up for a little bit longer with some more storage!
Just ordered one. Yes you are all correct. More compact gets hotter but not enough to hurt it. Cheaper equals slower. You get what you pay for. They still are not any slower than a standard mechanical hard drive. The volume more than takes care of the slowness. If you need speed for readyboost or running apps from the drive you may want to pay more and get a faster one.
Thanks in for one! Should be great for the Toshiba Thrive :-)
Deal is no longer in effect.

Every day we get more families in need of help. Will you and your organization hold a Christmas collection?
The Leavenworth Assistance Center is in great need of the following: Boys underwear size 2T, 3T, 4-6-8-10-12-14 and 16; girls underwear size 4T and 16 only; socks – toddlers for girls and boys 6-12 months, 12-18 months, 18-24 months and 24-36 months and S/M or L socks for girls and boys. Please do not gift-wrap articles. Cash, gift cards from Walmart, Kmart, Aldi's, Price Chopper, Dillons, Country Mart, and other donations gladly accepted. These will go to the needy children and families in Leavenworth County.
We are encouraging organizations to hold this drive between Nov. 23 and Dec. 6. The Center needs the items early so we can arrange to distribute them. The goal is to give each child what they need. Drop off at the Assistance Center, or make arrangements for items to be picked up by calling 682-7873. Thank you.

I am taking a course that mentions that sometime we would like to look at a group $G$ as a group of matrices. From another course I took a while ago I remember that this is called a representation.
I tried looking on Wikipedia, but didn't found a definition, the course I'm taking now is somewhat unformal and said that a representation of a group $G$ is a homomorphism of groups: $\phi:G \to GL_{n}(\mathbb{R})$ or $\phi:G \to GL_{n}(\mathbb{C})$.
Is this the general case ? or maybe we can take any ring ? (any field ?)
This course also claimed (with no proof) :"..then $Im(\phi)\simeq GL_{n}(\mathbb{R})$ " (or $GL_{n}(\mathbb{C}$ in the case of representation to $\mathbb{C}$). Can someone explain this ? (what if $\phi\equiv0 $ ?
