My dog, Lilly Von Shtupp, loves to drink beer. I only give her an ounce or so once in a blue moon, but I stopped recently because I heard that dogs are sensitive/allergic to hops. Can anyone either confirm or deny this?
I've heard that as well, and seen it mentioned by several sources. According to wikipedia, it causes hyperthermia in dogs.
You didn't exactly ask "Are Hops Bad For My Dog?" but here's that answer.
The best evidence I have seen on-line is the following article (abstract linked) from the Journal of the American Veterinary Association): http://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pubmed/8977648 "Malignant hyperthermia-like reaction secondary to ingestion of hops in five dogs"
4 out of the 5 dogs being described died. In other words, ingestion of hops (as opposed to beer with hops) can be fatal.
You can also find several anecdotal stories on homebrewtallk describing how hops ingestion killed their dog: http://www.brewersfriend.com/2010/05/09/hops-and-dogs/
I combed through some articles awhile back. I couldn't find an LD50 or anything but read some reports indicated 1 oz had been 'proven' fatal, at least for that brewer's dog.
So will beer with hops (most beer right?) hurt your dog? I'd guess not. If your 5g batch was brewed with 4 ozs of hops and somehow they all made it into the bottles (not how that works of course), you'd have 4/50 of an oz per bottle (aka 2/25, aka about 2g). Maybe he shouldn't get that Hop Heaven IPA. Avery's Ellie's Brown Ale perhaps?
There was a Letters to the Editor article in Zymurgy a couple months back and the author confirmed that tossing freshly used hops out to within reach of dogs is a patently bad idea, as mentioned by others.
However, just beer? I defer to the expertise of others, but I recall our dog, a Hungarian Vizsla, drinking beer dribbled from her previous owner's inverted bottle (as seen in home movies - yes, I'm dating myself) while out hunting and she was fine. This is entirely different from putting down a bowl of beer, I should point out.
About all I can do here is quote Buddha: "Everything in moderation, even moderation." ;-)
But seriously, if you have ANY concerns, just avoid it altogether. I agree with another poster's comment regarding the less hoppy offerings as being 'safer'.
As a matter of personal experience, as a young boy many years ago I had a Manchester Terrier who loved beer and who my father would take to the bar every night with her own shot glass. The beer never hurt her and she lived to be 17 years old, outliving my father by several years.
We have two dogs now, and neither will touch beer. I don't think it harms dogs in small amounts. But again that's based only upon personal observation. It could be that the Hops in beer is bad for them. Who knows?
Half of the people I know give their dogs a little beer now and then, whether they're having a barbecue, a bonfire, or simply hanging out at the fishing hole, and like the above post, many of these dogs outlived their human counterparts. So from my experience through the years, beer is not harmful to dogs. Course then, I reckon you'll have to decide that for yourself. Common sense would say, as with all things, the primary part of it is "A little beer now and then."

If we note $A_{k}$ the category of affine algebraic groups defined over $k$ and $\mathcal{G}$ the category of finite groups, we have a functor $W:A_{k}\longrightarrow \mathcal{G}$, where $W(G)$ is the Weyl group of an algebraic group $G$. Is taht functor is exact ?
Yes, it is exact.
For an algebraically closed field $k$ and a connected reductive $k$-group $G$, one can construct a canonical based root datum of $G$, so we obtain a canonically defined Weyl group $W(G)$. I am not sure that $G\mapsto W(G)$ is a functor on the category of connected reductive $k$-groups and homomorphisms of $k$-groups. However, it is certainly a functor on the category of connected reductive $k$-groups and normal homomorphisms. A homomorphism of connected reductive $k$-groups is called normal if its image is a normal subgroup.
If we have a short exact sequence of connected reductive $k$-groups, then we obtain an induced short exact sequence of semisimple groups of adjoint type, which clearly splits, so we obtain a split short exact sequence of Weyl groups. In other words, if we have a short exact sequence $1\to G_1\to G_2\to G_3\to 1$ of connected reductive $k$-groups, then $W(G_2)=W(G_1)\times W(G_3)$.

Much is expected of Salazar, who will join up with the Dynamo in the summer after finishing high school.The Houston Dynamo announced that they have signed Dynamo Academy forward Bryan Salazar to a Homegrown contract. Per league policy, terms of the contract were not disclosed.
Salazar, 18, has been in the Dynamo program for six years, having most recently played for the team's U-18 squad.
"Bryan is an exciting young player," said Dynamo head coach Dominic Kinnear. "When he gets the ball, he is not afraid to run at defenders. He has put up some good numbers with our Academy teams and I think he has a very promising future. We want him to succeed as a person and a professional and we will do everything we can to make sure that happens."
The 5-foot-9 Salazar becomes the fifth player Houston has signed to a Homegrown deal, joining goalkeeper Tyler Deric and midfielders Francisco Navas Cobo, Alex Dixon and Josue Soto. He is expected to finish high school and continue to play with the Dynamo Academy before joining the Dynamo full time this summer.

STEUBENVILLE - The former guardians of a Steubenville High School student-athlete charged with raping a 16-year-old girl said they will continue to support the boy, ''whatever may happen'' during his upcoming trial.
Gregg and Jennifer Agresta of Steubenville traveled to New York City with Malik Richmond's attorney, Walter Madison, and appeared on the ''Today'' show Tuesday to speak about the boy and some of the circumstances surrounding the case.
Richmond's mother granted legal custody to the Agrestas when he was 10, and he lived with them for two years. While the Agrestas are no longer Richmond's legal guardians, Judge Thomas Lipps released the 16-year-old to the couple and he remains on monitored home confinement at their residence while awaiting trial.
During the interview, Gregg Agresta expressed disappointment in Richmond's apparent lack of judgment on the night of Aug. 11-12.
''It's completely out of (Malik's) character. That's not the type of person that he is,'' said Gregg Agresta, who met Richmond while coaching a youth football team.
Jennifer Agresta, a teacher in Steubenville City Schools, testified on Malik's behalf during a preliminary hearing in November in Jefferson County Juvenile Court, where the case is being prosecuted. On Tuesday, she said she and her husband have not talked to the boy about the night of the alleged rape ''because it doesn't matter to us - we love him regardless of what happened that evening.''
Madison maintained that any sexual contact between Richmond and the alleged victim was consensual. He also identified his client as one of two boys photographed while holding the alleged victim by her wrists and ankles on the night of the alleged assault.
Madison believes his client is being wrongly targeted over a more-than-12-minute video posted to YouTube last week in which a person was heard making derogatory comments toward the alleged victim. Dennis McNamara, the attorney for that man, Michael Nodianos, held a press conference in Steubenville on Monday to announce his client's regret and shame over the video. Nodianos has not been charged in connection with the incident.
''It's important for everyone to understand this very clearly: That video has nothing to do with Malik," Madison said. ''He was not present. He did not produce that video. The photo, taken in conjunction with the video, draws this negative inference that's gone way out of proportion.''
Madison also contended that his client is unable to receive a fair trial in Steubenville and has said he likely will request a change of venue.
''It has gone to the point where witnesses are reluctant to participate for fear of being vilified (and having) their personal information on the Internet,'' he related.
Lipps will decide the case, as Ohio does not seat juries in juvenile cases. Regardless of where the case is tried and how the judge rules, the Agrestas said their relationship with Richmond will not change.
''He knows we love him dearly, and he knows if he's convicted - if he's found guilty, whatever may happen - we love him and support him,'' Gregg Agresta said.
He also offered the following to those protesting local authorities' handling of the alleged crime and clamoring for additional arrests: ''At the end of the day, you have the best judicial system in the world; embrace the process and let it work.''
Richmond and Trent Mays, 16, of Bloomingdale are both facing rape charges in connection with the alleged incident. Mays also has been charged with the illegal use of a minor in nudity-related material. Their attorneys have denied the charges in court. Their trial is scheduled to begin on Feb. 13.

Master Plan
In 2007, Auburn University at Montgomery was directed by the Auburn University Board of Trustees to complete a comprehensive facilities master plan. AUM contracted with Sasaki Associates, Inc. in June 2007 to develop the facilities master plan. As part of the process, AUM also contracted with Comprehensive Facilities Planners (CFP) to conduct a space needs analysis and KREBS, Inc. to prepare an infrastructure master plan.
The master plan is based on the following assumptions:
Auburn University at Montgomery needs a method to respond promptly and appropriately to new educational ideas and opportunities. The Master Plan is a tool that defines development options based on an institution's inherent strengths, resources and vision. The Master Plan is tightly linked to the Auburn University at Montgomery Strategic Plan and defines how the facilities and space that is the campus will support the implementation of the Strategic Plan.
The Master Plan:
The Auburn University at Montgomery Campus Master Plan will assess and quantify the campus' ability to accommodate physical expansion and provide a flexible "blueprint" to guide this growth in a consistent and harmonious manner that supports institutional goals.

Criminal Damage
Criminal damage is defined as deliberately or recklessly destroying or damaging someone else's home, building, vehicle or other items.
Vandalism and graffiti are criminal damage. Graffiti includes painting, writing, soiling, marking and defacing property.
A fixed penalty notice of £50 can be issued by our enforcement officers for minor offences. The Antisocial Behaviour Act 2003 gives local authorities greater powers to tackle this problem.
The council can issue graffiti removal notices to organisations such as railway operators and those responsible for street furniture. If graffiti is not removed within 28 days, we have the authority to remove it and reclaim the costs.
- What Birmingham City Council is doing to help
We have set up the Community Safety Partnership, a specialist team that deals with Antisocial Behaviour across the city.
In the first instance, so long as it's safe, we will always advise you to speak directly with whoever is causing the problem.
Many disputes between neighbours could be resolved just by talking to each other. Your neighbour may not even realise that they're causing a nuisance.
If you're being subjected to persistent Antisocial Behaviour, we'll then refer your complaint either to the Community Safety Partnership or the council department best placed to deal with your specific issue.
If you're a tenant of a registered social landlord, we may give you their contact details, if the matter is something that they have the power to deal with.
In an emergency you should always call 999 and report the matter to the police.
- How you can help us
If you're reporting vandalism or graffiti, it would help us if you could provide:
- The names and addresses (if known) of alleged perpetrators involved and descriptions of them
- Details of where the offence is being committed, at what times and how often
- Whether a specific tag is being used. The police hold databases of tags so they may already know the alleged perpetrator
- The nature of the graffiti – is it obscene, racist, homophobic or otherwise offensive?
- What is the fixed penalty in relation to minor graffiti and fly-posting offences?
Local Authority Officers, Community Support Officers, or any person accredited by the Chief Constable has the power to issue a fixed penalty notice to the sum of £50.
- What should l do if the Antisocial Behaviour didn't happen in Birmingham?
We can only investigate incidents that happen in Birmingham. If the incident happened somewhere else, then you should notify the relevant local authority, or the police.
- What can be done to stop issues escalating further?
In some circumstances the councils service may be able to help resolve problems before they become full disputes. Even if there is a history of problems between the parties, Mediation can be useful in helping to resolve them.
- How promptly can l expect the Council to act on my complaint?
We will respond to your complaint within one working day if it is a very serious complaint (category A) such as harassment, violence or threat of violence or a hate crime. We will respond to your complaint within five working days if it is a serious complaint (category B) such as threats or threatening behaviour, or intimidating behaviour from groups or individuals. We will also give you the name of the local officer who is looking into your complaint.
- What happens if I ignore a fixed penalty notice?
The fine will increase if not paid promptly. If you ignore any reminders we may take you to court.

So I am going on a trip with my family to the Philippines. The only concern before buying our tickets is our rather large cousin. She stands at 5'6'' and is about 280lbs. She wears as size 24-26 pants. Does anyone know if she will fit the seats okay? I mean if she has to squeeze into the seat until after they are in the air and seat belt lights are off, that't okay. Im rather skinny and could leave my air rest up to give her some extra room. I just dont want to get onto the plane and have her be embarrassed later on.
The Philippine Airlines 777-300ER has some of the better seats in Economy of any airline.
Excluding bulk-head/exit row, the economy seats have a pitch of between 33-34", a width of 18.5", and a 6 degree recline in a 3-4-3 configuration. Whilst that's hardly luxurious, it's at least as good as the majority of airlines, and better than most!
As with many wide-body planes, the cabin tapers off towards the end of the cabin, and the seat layout becomes 2-4-2. Many people find that the 2-seat areas give extra room, especially in the "window" seat where there is normally a gap between the edge of the seat and the actual wall/window. If you can't get one of these seats I'd suggest an aisle seat as they aren't as restrictive as the window/middle seats.
Exit rows and Bulk-head rows will give more legroom, but normally have narrower seats due to the tray-table being in the armrest rather than on the seat in-front.
Unfortunately I can't directly answer your question without knowing exactly how large your cousin is, but I can say that if she is able to fit in any Economy class seat on any airline, she should be fine on the Philippine 777-300.
Seatplans.com has an extensive review of Philippine Airline's 777-300ER "Fiesta" Class. They also have the full seat map.
Unfortunately, the other seat recommendation sites below currently do not have Philippine's 777s, but they may add it in the near future...

Dakota Stones Bronzite 8mm Round Bead Strand
Be confident in your jewelry designs with the bronzite 8mm round 8-inch bead strand from Dakota Stones. These beads are perfectly round in shape and each one features hypnotizing swirls of chocolate brown, bronze and gold. The bronze-like color is caused by inclusions of reflective material, such as hematite and goethite. This stone has a medium hardness and is mined in Canada, India and the USA. The energy of bronzite is used to restore self confidence in situations where you feel overwhelmed or powerless. Because these beads are made from natural materials, no two beads will look exactly alike, allowing your projects to feature unique elements every time. Dakota Stones offers high-quality gemstones that are all useable in jewelry designs because every bead is checked to make sure they are cut and drilled correctly, that the finish is right and that the beads look distinct to their stone type.

Many Gadgets, Many Risks
As workers use personal phones and computers on the job, security issues arise
Small companies are giving their employees a lot of leeway with gadgets. And that could mean major security risks.
Over the past three years, small companies have outpaced big ones in letting workers use personal laptops, tablets and cellphones on the job. For small firms, the appeal is clear: They don't have to spend as much on technology, and workers are more comfortable using the equipment.
Trouble on the Line
But small outfits often aren't prepared to handle all the technical and security issues that can arise. Very often, they don't even implement basic security measures like requiring password locks on phones. And the result can be lots of wasted time and money—and possibly permanent damage to the business.
If companies don't have even simple policies like lock codes on phones, "what happens when the employee leaves it in a bar and anyone can look at whatever sensitive information is on the emails?" says Douglas Louie, senior director of product marketing enterprise at Smith Micro Software Inc. SMSI 1.63 % in Aliso Viejo, Calif., a firm that helps companies with device management. "And what about when they are terminated? Can you shut [the phones] off immediately?"
All told, about half of companies with fewer than 500 employees allow personally owned devices, compared with 35% of larger enterprises, according to the Ponemon Institute LLC, a technology-research organization in Traverse City, Mich.
For some small companies, the move means big savings. Thomas Michael, for instance, says the hardware IT budget at his San Diego-based training and consulting firm, Michael Management Corp., used to be $20,000 a year. But he has knocked it down to $3,000 because 18 out of his 24 employees have transitioned to using their own devices.
Plus, "there's no learning curve, getting used to the new laptop," he says. "We reduce the waste that comes with introducing new hardware."
With so many benefits, it's easy to overlook the pitfalls. Lost or stolen devices can pose major headaches, for instance, particularly if the company doesn't have the legal authority or systems in place to remotely wipe information from them. More than half of lost smartphones are not protected with mobile security features, according to a study from the Ponemon Institute.
Misappropriation is another big issue. Using personal devices may make it easier for employees to take information to competitors when they leave.
Then there's the matter of viruses and other malware. Often, employees don't have the latest protection on their devices—and one infected machine can paralyze all the computers sharing the network.
Through 2014, employee-owned devices will be hit by malware at more than double the rate of corporate-owned devices, according to technology research firm Gartner Inc. IT 1.37 % in Stamford, Conn.
Those problems "will affect small and midsize businesses more than someone with a large IT infrastructure," says Norbert J. Kubilus, president of the Association of Information Technology Professionals. One recent survey found that two-thirds of small-business owners say they are personally responsible for online and cybersecurity at their business.
Last year, Mr. Kubilus was consulting a small company with an in-house server when he witnessed a virus take down the firm for a day. The culprit: an employee's personal laptop that didn't have up-to-date antivirus software. All the other devices had to come off the network and get scanned and fixed.
"It was a bit of a pain in the rump," Mr. Kubilus recalls. "Sensitive data was not compromised, but in a worst-case scenario, files can be compromised."
Staying the Course
For all the risks, many small businesses are sticking with their personal-gadgets policy—even those who have seen the downsides firsthand.
Six months ago, a credit manager at Glendale Builders' Supplies in Los Angeles got a virus and his hard drive had to be completely wiped.
Despite the cost to the company, and the lost work time, the personal-device policy is "extremely cost-effective," says Kristi Toia, chief executive of the rebar-fabrication firm, adding that her 14-employee business "could not function without" employees using their own devices.
Ms. Maltby is a small-business reporter in The Wall Street Journal's New York bureau. She can be reached at email@example.com.

I'm confused here. It is written "You may choose either Bluff or Diplomacy as a class skill, and gain a +2 bonus on such skill checks." So, how it works with regular class skills?
Role-playing Games Stack Exchange is a question and answer site for gamemasters and players of tabletop, paper-and-pencil role-playing games. Join them; it only takes a minute:

Here's how it works:
- Anybody can ask a question
- Anybody can answer
- The best answers are voted up and rise to the top
RAW, it means that you add Bluff or Diplomacy -your choice- to your class skills (check the corresponding box), and gain a +2 (to write in the Misc. Mod column of your sheet) to the skill. If both are already class skills, well, that's something the trait won't bring you. You still get the +2 though. Since it is considered a class skill, you also get the corresponding +3 bonus if you put ranks in it.

The Holiday Inn chain scored high honors in a recent North America Guest Satisfaction Index Study by J.D. Power & Associates, ranking highest in guest satisfaction among mid-scale full service hotel chains.
As one of the brand's 808 hotels in the Americas, InterContinental Hotels Group says the Holiday Inn-Weirton contributes to the brand's overall success by providing a consistent and welcoming experience for every guest.
"This tremendous and prestigious honor is the result of hard work and dedication by Holiday Inn team members across our portfolio, and we want to thank the Holiday Inn-Weirton for consistently delivering our Stay Real service to guests and contributing to the brand's overall success," said Al Reingold, director of brand management, Holiday Inn, Americas. "Our team members in Weirton are committed to providing high-quality service and accommodations, and we're proud that they're a part of this outstanding accomplishment."
To earn the top satisfaction ranking, Holiday Inn outperformed all other mid-scale full service hotel chains in the study, scoring highest in overall guest satisfaction, as determined by seven key measures: reservations; check-in/check-out; guest room; food and beverage; hotel services; hotel facilities; and cost and fees.
The 2011 North America Hotel Guest Satisfaction Index Study is based on responses gathered between June 2010 and May 2011 from more than 61,300 guests from the United States and Canada who stayed in a hotel between May 2010 and May 2011.
"The Holiday Inn-Weirton is proud that the Stay Real service our hotel team provides guests has contributed to such a prestigious recognition for the Holiday Inn brand," said JoAnn Babela, the local facility's general manager,.

So, I need to be able to carry 3-4 days worth of groceries for one person, about a mile from the store to home. I'm not too keen on the idea of panniers or anything else that mounts to the frame. I don't want any extra junk burdening me during the 99% of rides that aren't grocery runs. So, I've been wearing a backpack but its a little small and not well suited to carrying groceries. Does anybody have a suggestion that will work in my use case?

Many good questions generate some degree of opinion based on expert experience, but answers to this question will tend to be almost entirely based on opinions, rather than facts, references, or specific expertise.If this question can be reworded to fit the rules in the help center, please edit the question.
Get an ortleib messenger backpack classic. It will hold a ton of stuff and it's waterproof in case something bursts inside (it will stay inside).
If you want to go real fancy get a mission workshops vandal. It is a great multi-purpose bag and it expands to fit a lot of stuff. Watch the video demo: Grocery Run - Vandal Roll-Top Backpack
You may also want to consider a quick release handlebar basket, depending on whether you have drop bars or not.
I use a Bontrager pannier (or two) like this one: http://bontrager.com/model/08102
The rack on my bike is permanent, but you can clip the bag onto onto the rack, or detach it again, in a second or two: so put it on the bike only when you're going to the store. I also take the bag into the store so I can fill it there, then bring it out already full and attach it to the bike and cycle off.
If you are carrying much weight panniers are much easier. The bike balances better and they don't put strain on your back like a heavy rucksack does.
I don't think that there is a proper rack that you can fit if you have rear suspension on your bike. I wouldn't trust the ones that just bolt round the seat tube with very much weight.
I would suggest looking into Mission Workshop. I have two of their bags, and they are great quality, made in America and lifetime warrantied.
I agree with the other answers suggesting a pannier - panniers are more suitable for transporting stuff than a backpack.
However, if you do not transport anything except for short shopping trips, you can just use any half-decent backpack. Groceries for 3-4 days is not really that much, and it's only for a mile, so ergonomics should not be such a big problem.
There are many special bike backpacks, but they are usually designed for bicycle tours, to hold a helmet, a bottle etc.. For transporting groceries I'd just use a regular backpack.
I would go with pannier and a quick release rack. Something like http://www.topeak.com/products/Racks/MTXBeamRackE-Type
A quick release handlebar bag and a large backpack sound like the best answers but I wanted to throw out one more option-- a trailer. Easy to hitch and unhitch, and it has much larger cargo capacity.
I fully understand your point about buying a rack and panniers set, possibly involving a new frame/bicycle, so the following is just a suggestion for the long run.
In the long run, it's no good for your back to carry heavy weights, especially when cycling as your back position is not optimal for carrying weights (depending also on how much do you lean on the handlebars).
Also (touch wood) a fall with a heavy backpack is in principle (more cyclist mass=less acceleration) better, but in practice much worse than a fall with panniers, when the extra weight rests on the bicycle. Also, a backpack won't allow you to roll on the ground, happily dissipating excessive momentum during a fall (this is solely based on my own experience though, somebody might want to ask a dedicated question on this topic :) ).
I use those sackpacks:
In practice, they work very well. And when not in use, you can fold it up and tie it to your top bar or something.
They are also very washable. I sweat a lot when biking and I just simply throw it in with my laundry and comes out clean and dries very easily.
Here's a genetic answer for you: One that neither comes up too high nor is too wide at the top. My camera rucksack is reasonably large, but because it narrows significantly at the top I can look over my shoulder with no problem. The backpack I'm more likely to use for riding to the shops is not much bigger, but makes it much harder to look behind me (though it is a better shape for carrying (e.g.) bread at the top).
I suggest that you might like chest and waist straps to keep the bag tightly attached to you, and possibly compression straps to shrink the bag to the load. These should all stop the bag swinging around.
Proper loading is important as I mentioned in my comment - keep the heavy stuff low for stability, with the benefit of not squashing other shopping.

For 100 years, Rutgers School of Law–Newark, the first law school in New Jersey, has been a pioneer in legal education. Our distinctive institutional spirit of excellence and reform was present at our founding as a fledgling program with only three faculty members. These men drew inspiration from the groundbreaking legal traditions of their state to establish the law school as a center for innovation. One of their first, characteristics advances was to create a legal education program for women.
Rutgers School of Law–Newark has had many ancestors and locales. Its oldest predecessor, the New Jersey Law School, opened its doors on October 5, 1908. Thirty students filed into a spare room on the fourth floor of the Prudential Insurance Company building for their first class. By December, operations were transferred to a substantial Victorian town house at 33 East Park Street, built in 1875 by the then mayor of Newark, Thomas Peddie.
The New Jersey Law School was one of many efforts to create the state's own major cultural and educational institutions. The school was founded by New York attorney Richard D. Currier, a graduate of Yale University and New York Law School. He received considerable help from Charles M. Mason, a New Jersey attorney, who served as dean from shortly after the school's founding until his death in 1928.
Impressive Early Growth
The school's business-oriented curriculum quickly attracted students eager for a practical legal education. Classes were held in the late afternoon and evening to accommodate the many students and faculty with outside jobs. Early class lists suggest that the school was an important avenue of advancement for the children of recent immigrants.
Once World War I ended, the New Jersey Law School began a decade of significant progress. By 1926, enrollment had grown to more than 2,300 students, making it the country's second largest law school. Needing additional space, in 1927 the school moved to the former Ballantine & Sons Ale Brewery at 40 Rector Street.
The Mercer Beasley School of Law, the second "parent" institution of Rutgers–Newark law school, was founded in 1926 by several prominent Newark attorneys, including Spaulding Frazier and future New Jersey Chief Justice Arthur T. Vanderbilt. The school was named for the chief justice of New Jersey from 1864-1897. In 1936 the New Jersey Law School joined with the Mercer Beasley School of Law to become the University of Newark Law School. Combining the faculties and resources of the two schools created a stronger institution. Still, the law school experienced a major decline in enrollments due to World War II and a precarious financial condition.
Merger With Rutgers University
With the State Legislature urging unification of New Jersey's educational resources, the University of Newark was an attractive opportunity for Rutgers University, which in 1945 had been designated the State University of New Jersey. The Newark university offered not only a thriving undergraduate college in the most populous part of the state, but also the state's only fully accredited law school and a reputable business school. In 1946, the entire University of Newark was absorbed by Rutgers University and Rutgers School of Law was officially born.
The new affiliation brought great advantages through the university's substantial resources and prestige. Over the next several decades, the school became an institution of national stature. Its library expanded to become the most comprehensive collection in New Jersey and its faculty tripled in size.
Building on an Academic and Public Service Tradition
The 1960s and 1970s brought dramatic changes to the law school that left a profound mark on its character and values. Following the Newark riots of 1967, the school expanded its institutional mission to include service to the urban community. As a result, the faculty created one of the first affirmative action programs in the country, with the goal of bringing minorities and other historically-disadvantaged and non-traditional students into the legal profession.
The law school also established an innovative clinical program, including one of the nation's first women's rights clinics, to involve students in public interest law reform. The clinical program is distinguished by its breadth and comprehensiveness of experiences for students and its involvement in cases and projects with far-reaching legal or social impact.
The 1960s also brought a group of young faculty members committed to rejecting the formalism characteristic of classical legal theory and to investigating what makes law work on the ground. That intellectual commitment deepened in the 1970s and 1980s, as Rutgers University–Newark became a leading center for basic research and law school faculty helped advance the expanding intellectual reach of the campus
In 1967, the School of Law in Camden, which had been administered by the dean of the law school in Newark, was created as a separate unit of the university, and the university's original law school became Rutgers School of Law–Newark. After outgrowing several buildings in downtown Newark, the law school moved in 1978 to the skyscraper at 15 Washington Street that became the S.I. Newhouse Center for Law and Justice. Samuel I. Newhouse, a 1916 graduate of the New Jersey Law School, founded what is today one of the world's largest newspaper and magazine publishing companies.
In January 2000, Rutgers School of Law–Newark moved to the new Center for Law and Justice, one of the most attractive and technologically advanced law school facilities in the country. The 225,000-square-foot, six-story building at 123 Washington Street was dedicated by U.S. Supreme Court Justice Ruth Bader Ginsburg, a member of the law faculty from 1963 to 1972.
Enduring Values
Teaching. Scholarship. Service. Opportunity. The core values of Rutgers School of Law–Newark, shaped by an extraordinary institutional history, have produced alumni/ae who are represented in the highest levels of every sector of the legal profession across the tri-state area and throughout the country. They include justices of the New Jersey Supreme Court, representatives in the U.S. Congress, leaders in the executive and legislative branches of state government, partners at major law firms, prosecutors and public defenders, advocates for civil and human rights, law deans and professors, solo practitioners, legal aid attorneys, counsel to small businesses, and professionals using their law degree in fields as various as medicine, entertainment and the arts, finance, and criminal justice.
As we celebrate our Centennial, we reaffirm our distinctive commitment to the expression of those values through innovative legal pedagogy and clinical education; exceptional and socially relevant academic research; public service engagement; and educational access.

Archaeology in Birmingham
Shortcut to this page www.birmingham.gov.uk/archaeology
Birmingham's archaeological remains are recognised for their national importance and we work to protect them through the planning process. This work has changed our view of Birmingham's past and uncovered new information about the origins of the city.
When dealing with proposals for development which may affect archaeological remains, the Council considers:
· Existing archaeological information on the Historic Environment Record
· National policies and government guidance on the protection of archaeological remains
· The City Council's own policies which are more specific to Birmingham
· Requirements for assessing archaeological implications of a development and for the protection and recording of archaeological remains
The locations of sites in the Historic Environment Record are now available on our LocalView mapping system. Follow the link and type your post code into the search box in the top left corner.
Please note that you will require more detailed information than the site locations if your enquiry is related to proposed development
- Historic Environment Record
Information about archaeological sites and finds in Birmingham is held in the Historic Environment Record.

Here is a question I posted some months ago in Math.SE, and t.b. mentioned to the following question by Florent MARTIN which is somehow related to my question;
Let $G$ be a compact Hausdorff topological group, and let $H$ be a torsion-free group satisfying the ascending condition, i.e. there are no infinite strictly ascending chains $H_1 < H_2<...$ of subgroups of $H.$
Prove that there is no non-trivial homomorphism of $G$ into $H.$
Note that, no topology is considered on $H$ and "homomorphism" simply means "group homomorphism."

Is it a good idea to keep make a lot of them and keep them in the refrigerator? I like them for breakfast but I don't like cooking every morning. For how long I can keep them?
What Tim said. Eggs just don't hold very well, and they are very sensitive to temperature--reheating them basically will mean re-cooking them. I would never store eggs in this manner, because the texture and flavour degradation will make them unpleasant to eat.
However, to actually answer your question--and again, I urge you not to do this because stored and reheated eggs will taste like garbage--cooked eggs should keep for up to 72 hours in the refrigerator. Remember to chill them as rapidly as possible after cooking, and you may wish to undercook slightly in order to minimize problems when reheating.
I would use 72 hours as an absolute maximum, particularly if you are undercooking. 48 hours is probably wiser.
When it comes to taste, eggs are very difficult to preserve. When they are warmed after refrigeration they cook further, and fried eggs have a narrow window in which they taste great.
So I was thinking about this, and realized that there are plenty of egg dishes that work well out of the refrigerator, but the thing is, you don't reheat them, you serve them at room temperature:
I mean, it's not going to be the exact same as making it fresh and serving it warm, but the problem is in reheating eggs when you tend to overcook it. (I once turned a pizza rustica into a nasty puddle of water when I tried reheating it)
So, my thought on the matter is you could probably pull it off, just don't heat it. You might be able to microwave it on really low heat to just take the chill off ... but don't try to get it hot.
You'd have to try it yourself to see if it's an acceptable taste / texture / temperature for your palette. You might also consider either serving it with something else warmed through to let some of the heat transfer (eg, place it on a freshly toasted bagel or english muffin)
I don't know how long they remain sanitary but when I'm cooking scrambled eggs for a lot of people and I have to store them in the oven to keep warm I always cover them with slices of cheese. This seems to help keep their flavor as if they were right off the pan and prevents the surfaces of the eggs from drying out and becoming crusty. It may improve their refrigeration life as well?
Keeping cooked eggs is not very tasty
Follow my previous post on "better-scrambled-eggs" for making scrambled eggs in 60 seconds from eggs to plate (thin stainless skillet on a gas stove)
I've been cooking my eggs in a small round pan. To keep that shape, I'll cook 4 batches for 4 days at a time, then place them in fridge. Wake up, grab one round cooked egg, nuke in the microwave for 30 secs and it tastes great to me on a piece of Ezekiel bread. I have 3 small children and a busy morning, so I need something healthy and fast with no mess in the morning.
I have been scrambling three large eggs at a time. I eat one and put the rest in the fridge in a sealed plastic container. I make egg salad out of the leftovers for sandwiches over the next two days adding various things like onion bits, dill, mustard, hot sauce, lemon pepper, cheese slices, etc. The eggs taste just fine. The sealed container keeps them moist.
Eggs keep fine for two weeks just fine raw in the shell and about abit over a week cooked into a fritta shape, 25 sec in a microwave works wonders
I cook veggie omelettes in muffin pans in the oven every Sunday morning and refrigerate them for a whole week's worth of meals and take them every day for breakfast and I have never had any issue. I have been doing this for months. They taste absolutely delicious microwaved for one minute. You people are out of your minds. They are "sanitary" and yummy. I would say they last about a week to a week and a half.
What about freezing the eggs in separate containers? Daily portions, thaw one the night before and cook it in the morning. Microwave if you have it. Would this work?
I've heard Sanitary wise they are good for a week, but my experience is after about 3-4 days they tend to give you the runs, soo I wouldn't make more than enough for 3 or 4 days.

What are some verses from the Bible which instructs us on our attire when attending church worship services and activies?
Is "formal" dress good / bad / required / optional / recommended?
closed as primarily opinion-based by curiousdannii, fredsbend, Mr. Bultitude, bruised reed, Caleb♦ Feb 28 '15 at 17:08
Many good questions generate some degree of opinion based on expert experience, but answers to this question will tend to be almost entirely based on opinions, rather than facts, references, or specific expertise.If this question can be reworded to fit the rules in the help center, please edit the question.
We are not commanded to dress a certain way in Scripture, other than that it should be modest.
However, I have a strong personal conviction - one I would not try to force on anyone else - that you should dress up for Church.
When God appeared to Moses as a burning bush, He commanded Moses to "put off thy shoes from off thy feet, for the place whereon thou standest is holy ground." To me, this implies that God expects us to respect Him, and approach Him with reverence, as one who is Holy and worthy of our best. Therefore, I dress up, not to look good to others, but because it's such a small thing for the God who created me and saved me.
That said, I do not look down on anyone who doesn't feel the same. Not everyone thinks the same way, and it's not for me to try to force them. Christianity isn't about a bunch of rules and regulations, it's about our hearts, and our relationship with God.
The scripture is silent on the matter (to the best of my knowledge). As far as I know it's an idea that came about as showing respect for God and the place where he is worshiped.
In my opinion, these kinds of things are purely man-made legalistic things that serve to do little except create problems and division.
Just my two cents.
You can dress however you want to, just go. If the church makes you feel unwelcome because of how you are dressed, how you look or any other reason related to your appearance please find a new church, these folks are hypocrites.
However, you may be more comfortable if you find a church that the expected dress fits your lifestyle and how you typically dress. If you enjoy getting dressed up you can find a more traditional church where folks tend to wear suits and ties. However, if you'd rather wear jeans and tees to church there are plenty out there where even the pastor shows up in jeans (I go to one :)).
Finally, let me be very clear. How we dress for church is really a terrible criteria for choosing a church (however it is an element to consider). Good doctrine, Quality of preaching, the kind of worship, and finally whether you feel welcome and comfortable in the community are all things that are far more important in choosing a church than the dress code.
The Bible says that you should dress modestly in and out of church. While this doesn't indicate that you should wear formal wear, it does indicate that we should dress such that we don't attract attention.
There is no requirement that people should wear formal wear, but I tend to think of it in terms of walking down the street in your local community. Would people look at you funny if you were wearing pajamas? Then it's probably not appropriate to wear it to church. If you wouldn't get a second glance in blue jeans and a t-shirt, then it's probably OK to wear that to church.
I personally go to a fairly formal church, where most of the men wear suits. I've been wearing jeans and a collared shirt there for years, and have no comments made on it and no strange looks.
Dress affects behavior. In our culture formal dress indicates respect, hence the reason why its commonplace at weddings, funerals, and other events or situations where respect is expected.
You will act and feel differently in a room full of people in rags vs a room full of people in dresses and tuxedos.
There is no commandment to wear formal dress at church services, but I feel most respectful when dressed formally and I like to afford others the same opportunity.
I'm going to take the contrarian position and offer the question: why would you ever dress formally? Some plausible reasons:
These all seem applicable to corporate worship. Granted, some are rich/poor, stylish/fashion-challenged, etc., but the idea is giving your best, which varies by individual.
God sees me naked. He sees me at my very worst. He is with me all the time and loves me all the time. And the best way to honour him is to be completely open and honest with him, to allow him to be my closest friend without pretence. There's no need to put on special airs and graces, use different language, or wear different clothes when we come before God.
In the Bible there are several places where we are told not to make a big show of praying, giving, and other activities that we do as church. Instead we are told to "worship in Spirit and truth" - so if we try to pretend to be something we're not by dressing differently for worship than we would for any other activity, I believe we're failing to do that.
That's not to say we should never dress up; in the same way as I dressed smartly for my wedding and sometimes dress more smartly when we go out for dinner, even though my wife has also seen me in much less formal attire. But failing to dress smartly every time I know i'm going to see her does not amount to a lack of respect or a failure to honour her; instead it is an indication of the same kind of barrierless honesty that God wants of us when we come before him.
The argument for dressing up
We know that God demands His people to honor Him in the act of worship:
God goes on to explain that the people dishonor God by bringing inferior offerings to the altar. He asks if they would dare to bring such animals to their Persian governor. Further, it wasn't because they lacked acceptable sacrifices. Therefore, they showed themselves to fear earthly authority, but not God.
In the same way, we should consider honoring our Father in heaven by wearing clothing we would not be ashamed to be wearing if we were to have an interview with our national leader. This is also the implication of the detailed instructions on how the high priests were to dress in the Torah; God demands to be approached in reverence.
Show no partiality!
Of course, the trouble is that we confuse reverence for God, keeping the right rituals, and observing long-held customs as what God desires most from us. James warns:
Simply speaking, we should be very careful about judging others by the clothes they wear. Paul speaks of the church as a body in that if one member suffers, all suffer. Rather than make divisions in a church based on wealth, many congregations dress down to avoid having less-well-off members (and visitors) stand out. My pastor tells how he was lead to Christ by a preacher of a church that met on a Southern California beach in surfing attire. Who can argue with such fruit?
Common sense
In truth clothing choice is primarily culturally significant. As my college cultural anthropology professor explained, his students don't come to class wearing T-shirts and jeans for any reason other than to fit in with their fellows. I've made the best argument I know for a spiritual significance, but it does not withstand the grace of the gospel of Christ. In the end, dress as you feel led in order to honor God and don't discriminate based on the clothing others wear. Live together as one body.
As a visitor, you should dress however you feel comfortable.
As a member, you have a duty in the worship service, as in everything, to act (and dress) in manner that first honors and respects God, secondly honors and respects others, and lastly honors and respects yourself. God is very specific in the ways he expects us to honor and respect Him, but — aside from modesty — the matter of dress is left open — even in the worship.
It falls then to honor and respect for others. Here, the "others" in question should first be those visiting the worship service from outside. It is my personal belief that formal dress by all members is therefore not in line with what should be expected of us. Rather, we should dress so that a visitor will be comfortable, no matter what they show up wearing. That means some should wear suits or dresses, but others should wear a ratty old t-shirt. Not every congregation needs both extremes, but if an entire congregation is all to one side or the other, they aren't doing their job properly to create an atmosphere where anyone would feel welcome.
We have dress-codes for every occasions, correct? We do not go to a party in Swim suits. We give respects to the places if the place expects how we need to be, which was set by tradition even-though culture influences our dress-codes.
We have traditions in churches, and we have respect to the church. If we think our dress reflects respect to the church and if the church accepts the dress, you can wear that dress.
At one occasion in the Bible, where our Lord asks Moses to remove his footwear at His holy place. At another occasion, Peter identified Jesus and put on his outer Garment (Jn 21:7) while he was working without dresses.
There is no need for writers to mention about the Dress code for the synagogues due to the culture of Jews; their dresses raised no question of wearing something objectionable.
We dress up for church to show respect for God, to show that we are making a conscious effort to say that church is important to us, that we value it, that church is something out of the ordinary, because when we dress up (at least a lot of the time), it is for events that we deem important or worthy of dressing up for.
Think of it this way. If you show up to a job interview, and you dress casually, what does it say about your desire to get the job? What does it say about how important you think the occasion is? Everyone agrees that dressing up for a job interview, even if it is not required for actual on-the-job duties, shows respect and value for the position/occasion.
So why shouldn't it be any different for church?

I dont have access to a barbell, yet i still want to try and do deadlifts, so i was wondering if anybody knows how to explain to me the proper technique, or maybe even refer me to an article or video that may help. I have spent almost all day trying to get some info on this, but for the most part they all explain the right technique in regard to a barbell not a dumbbell.

I'd suggest following the instructional technique for barbell deadlifts and just transfer that exact form to the dumbbell deadlifts.
You can practice the technique with a broomstick so that you can get the correct starting position (you won't be able to put it on the ground, you'll have to imagine the lift bottoms out with the broomstick approximately 8 inches from the ground, against your shins).
To learn the mechanics, here are two good articles:
Stand with feet slightly narrower than shoulder width apart, in a position you would jump from. Place the bar about 8 inches off the ground, directly above your midfoot (not middle of your forefoot, but middle of the entire foot). Move your shins so that they're against the bar in that position. Without moving the bar or your shins, bring your chest up, shoulders back, and back into extension. This is the starting position. Stand up by extending the knees until the bar passes them; then continue to stand up straight by extending at the hip, keeping the bar as close to your legs as possible the entire time. Return to the starting position by bending at the hip until the bar passes the knees, then at the knees until the bar is at the bottom, against your shins, directly over your midfoot. The bar should never move away from directly over your midfoot at any point during the lift.
This will take a bit of imagination to do with a broomstick, but it will help you learn what the form should feel like. That will let you transfer that feeling to the dumbbell version.
Then, you can try to replicate that with dumbbells. It will take even more imagination and control to do with the same form as with a barbell, but it can be the exact same motion. You can use some small boxes to make sure the starting position of the dumbbells matches the starting position that you'd get with a proper barbell with bumper plates.
Using dumbbells also allows an alternate form because your knees won't get in the way when you stand up. This would change the exercise to focus more on quads and less on the back.
Barbell deadlifts require different form than dumbbell deadlifts, because the bar has to pass in front of your knees as it rises. Dumbbell deadlifts allow the knees to stay farther forward, allowing the use of more leg muscle and less back muscle than the barbell. The dynamics are similar to lifting with a hex bar.
Dumbbell handles are usually closer to the ground than a barbell (~4" vs ~8"). This means that you would have to squat down farther for your hands to reach them. Unless you have very high hamstring flexibility, this will cause your pelvis to tilt forward at the bottom and curve the lower back. If the load is heavy (near or above your body weight) you should probably elevate them by placing on a stack of books or something.
The bottom line is that lifting dumbbells is simpler than lifting a barbell. Position your feet about shoulder width apart, place the dumbbells at the outsides of your feet (and possibly elevated 4" above ground level), squat down with your arms straight, grip the bars, stick out your butt and lift chest(and try to keep that lower back curve throughout the lift). Take and hold a deep breath to tense the core, and as the weights come off the ground the weight will hang from your arms and shoulders causing a tendency to hunch forward; you resist this -- keeping the chest up -- to avoid injury to the lower back. Stand up to full extension, pause, and reverse the motion till the weights are on the ground.
Try the Suitcase Deadlift. It is performed like a normal deadlift except you are holding only one dumbbell at your side. This exercise gives you the added benefit of training core anti-rotation. Holding only one dumbbell forces you to brace your core so your upper body won't tip and rotate.

If you're using hex dumbbells, in addition to the method suggested by J. Winchester, you could put a single dumbbell on end between your legs with the bar in line with the middle of your feet, wrap your fingers underneath the top part and lift up the way you would with a kettlebell. This even allows you to do a kettlebell like swing, but of course make sure you've got a good grip so the dumbbell doesn't go flying, particularly if you're in front of a mirror.

Rollcage Installation - Behind BarsWritten by on March 31, 2011 Part 1: Competition Engineering helps us get the City Boy ready for action with a new 10-point rollcage
It's 1 in the morning on a Wednesday night and aside from the fact that I smell like an odd combination of sweat, welding gas, and that weird coating they cover mild-steel tubing in, I already have a great feeling about our first Mini Stock outing. I know, it's months away, and we've barely even scratched the surface of what needs to be completed in order to hit the track, but tonight, just hours before a looming deadline, we have the very beginnings of a solid foundation in place—the rollcage.
Let's rewind a couple of days and see how we got this far. If you've been following the City Boy chronicles, you know that it was just a couple of months ago that we convinced (tricked) Editor Fisher into letting Pete Epple and I—two completely useless newbies—build a Mini Stock. And, much to the amusement of several staffers here at the Circle Track world headquarters, what we dragged home to start building wasn't much of a car to start with. So, as our first real assignment, Rob decided to see if we could handle a rollcage install, by ourselves. OK, I thought, how tough could welding some tubes be?
To get us started, we called our friends at Competition Engineering by Moroso and ordered up a 10-point rollcage kit, which ships complete from the factory pre-bent and ready to install into a variety of chassis, including early body late-model Mustangs.
Why start with a kit? Why not? With a Mustang-specific main hoop, halo, and down bar, using the Competition Engineering kit saved us time, money, and aggravation, since we knew up front that all of the difficult bars were already taken care of and bent properly for our application. For an idiot and a half-decent fabricator, that convenience and expertise was essential.
Of course, those of you familiar with Mini Stock rules will know that a 10-point 'cage doesn't consist of the four horizontal driver-side door bars, or the three horizontal passenger-side bars, but don't worry, we plan to cover that part of the install next month, once we have our new seat in hand.
In regards to what Competition Engineering does provide, you must understand that it can't possibly send all of the tubing pre-notched, since every car is slightly different and each fabricator prefers to do things a little differently, so our next call was to Williams Lowbuck Tools, in Norco, California, to set us up with a "Lowbuck Tubing Notcher."
I'm going to be honest here, when I first pulled the Lowbuck Tubing Notcher out of the box, I really had my doubts. I mean, you should see this thing, it looks way too simple and easy to actually do anything productive, let alone notch a piece of 1 5⁄8-inch DOM steel.
Nevertheless, it's what we had and we were determined to make it work...boy are we glad we did! Turns out, the Lowbuck Notcher works great and saved us a ton of time over a traditional hole saw-style machine. If you don't believe us, make sure you check out the rest of the story to see how easily it really did work.
Anyway, enough about that; lets get on with the install! If you're going to try this at home, make sure you have a lot of experience welding and at least some fabrication skill. It isn't impossible to install a quality 'cage by yourself, but you do need to realize that the 'cage could one day be responsible for saving your life, and it isn't something to be taken lightly. On the flip side, however, we were able to pull it off—so you should have no problems if you take your time and make each weld count. OK, now seriously, on to the install!
More Photos From This Article View Slideshow
These model Ford Mustangs have a coating over the floor to prevent rust and insulate the cabin, which obviously must be removed if you plan on welding anything to the chassis. We found a couple of blows with the hammer and some chiseling to be the fastest method of removal.Once Pete got close to the bare metal, he broke out the air-powered sanding wheel and a set of aggressive pads to remove the paint, rust, and leftover seam sealer. We're not sure if sanding/melting seam sealer can cause you any harm, but it's probably best to do this in a well-ventilated area.With the area clean, Pete placed the Competition Engineering 6x6-inch floor plate in position and tack welded it in place. On our Mustang, placing this in the corner of the driver seat gave us ample room to work and provided a perfect mounting location for the main rollbar hoop.The main hoop slid easily in place and, believe it or not, required no trimming at all to fit tightly against the floor and the roof. This is truly a testament to how much thought and engineering goes into this rollcage kit before it leaves Competition Engineering's factory.Looking into the Mustang from the rear hatch area, you can see how well the bar conforms to the B-pillar area. If you were running factory interior panels, the fit would be tighter, but since the rules dictate that all panels must be removed, we have the perfect amount of room.This is a view from the floor of the Mustang, looking up at the roofline and main hoop. The main hoop comes up right at the roofline and fits snug, exactly how you want it for maximum headroom, visibility, and safety.With the main hoop tacked in place, Pete turned his attention to fitting the rear strut bars. According to Competition Engineering, the rear strut bars "connect the main hoop with the rear frame at the upper spring mounts. Typically, these rear strut bars would run to a set of 6x6-inch plates but we had other ideas.Using an extra piece of tubing, Pete fabricated this trick strut bar, which will weld to each strut mount and provide a base for our rear strut bars. By tying the struts together, we create a stiffer chassis and give the main hoop extra bracing, in the event that we do ever have to rely on it for safety.
After measuring twice and cutting once, Pete slid the rear strut bars in place and tacked them in to position. To find the perfect distance for each bar from the strut mount, we actually sat in the Mustang and found the centerline of our heads, placing the driver-side upper strut bar directly behind the head, to help protect us in a rollover situation.Next up, Pete lifted the top hoop into place and marked it for some trimming. When installing the top hoop, you want it "to be installed so that the front is level and pushed as high into the roof as possible." In our Mustang, we couldn't get the bar completely horizontal without major roof modifications, so a slight 2- or 3-degree incline will have to do.If you're installing the top hoop yourself, or you happen to be working with a completely useless photographer who refuses to help, you can use a ratchet-strap to keep the front in place while you measure, check clearance, and tack the hoop in place.The front down struts were next and these gave us the most trouble. According to Competition Engineering "their position has a direct relationship on the driver's visibility so space them as far apart as possible and as close to the windshield posts as possible." Right, but that is much easier said than done. After what seemed like 100 test fits and several trips to the bandsaw, we had them close to the right location.Just like the main hoop 6x6 plates, it's important to grind away any paint, seam sealer, or rust that is present in the area and then tack weld the plate in place. In order to spread the bars as far as possible from each other, Pete positioned the front down strut against the doorsill and threw down a couple of tacks.Again, you can see how nicely the pre-notched tubes are in the kit. You may notice a little gap between the front down strut and the top hoop, but that is actually a crucial part of getting a clean and strong weld. If the connection is too tight, it may be hard to penetrate the metal, resulting in a much weaker weld.With both front down struts in place, Pete slid an extra piece of tube in place and measured it for proper fitment. This bar will serve as a front strut crossbrace and, like the main hoop crossbrace, serves to strengthen the 'cage and add rigidity to the entire structure.Wondering how we have been notching all of these custom tubes? Check out the Williams Lowbuck Tubing Notcher. If you're like me, you're probably wondering where the rest of the tool is and how in the world that little thing could actually notch a piece of 0.095-wall tubing. Well, it's actually quite ingenious and simple.To use the Lowbuck notcher, you simply slide the tubing in place and pull down on the handle. The case-hardened cutting die, which is rated at 62 Rockwell or "2 points harder than the back of Superman's head," slices through tubing in less than 6 seconds and, believe it or not, makes for one fine cut...
...but, don't take my word for it—check out these fish mouth cuts! Not only do they look great, but they require no after-cut grinding and we didn't have to watch our toes for flying sparks or hot metal.With most of the 'cage complete and the crossbar notched and in place, I jumped up on the engine and admired my—I mean Pete's—handiwork. The 'cage isn't finished, or even perfect, but it came together well and, once fully welded, will be safe and reliable for years to come.Gussets, like these from Competition Engineering, must be welded anywhere two tubes connect. This greatly increases the 'cage's rigidity and, most importantly, keeps us within the rules for competition. Once we get everything welded and the rest of the bars in place, we'll show you exactly how these fit.After four days of late nights, frustration, and sweat, the main portion of our 10-point rollcage is complete. To meet Mini Stock rules, we still have to weld in horizontal door bars, the main hoop crossbrace, and the gussets, but we can't really do any of that until we have a seat made for the City Boy, which we will make sure to document in the next chapter of the City Boy story.

Without spoiling myself: What do the secret vault symbols that you generally have to find in areas for their Badass ranks look like? I've looked around for a while but couldn't find anything. It would be less of a waste of time if I knew what I was looking for.
It is the same symbol that was all over Borderlands 1, and is still the 'saving' icon in Borderlands 2.
As you explorer them, you will find some small (like this screenshot), some large, some half obscured by objects, some on floors, some on walls, etc.
(screenshot from the video guide for the 5 symbols in Sanctuary)
This answer deals with finding an easy example in-game, and as such contains spoilers:
I have yet to find any others though.

I'm renting a car in Barcelona. And i would like to make a trip at the Pyrenees, both the Spanish and French sides. Are there any special requirements needed for the rented car?
You have to confirm with your rental agency that you're allowed to do that. In Europe most agencies allow you to travel in all countries of central and western Europe, but forbid you to visit countries in the East, like for example Belarus, Poland, Croatia, etc.
However, it will be likely that your rental agency will bill you an extra fee if you want to cross the border. Normally it is around 100 Euros.
Then a personal hint from me which you have to be careful about: There is no real border between Spain and France, so the chances are high that you're rental agency will not notice if you drive to France. However be aware if you have an accident in France and didn't tell the agency that you will cross the border, you will have big trouble.
Btw if we are talking about the Pyrenees: When planning your trip you should keep in mind that the roads there are really hilly and you will need much time to get from one place to another, even if it looks close on the map. And there are only a few passes between France and Spain which you can pass by car.
However I can really recommend the region. Was there this summer with my own car, and it is really nice there and worth the trip!
I have no administrative advices, but just some suggestions for great sightseeings along the road:
If your vehicle has a European style licence plate (i.e. EU flag on the left hand side and country code, e.g. E for Spain), you can legally drive all over EU. Some countries (Ireland) always have an EU style plate, some countries (UK) do not always have this style.
Car insurance should cover you all over the EU (normal car insurance anyway, I don't know about hire cars)
Ask/Tell your car hire company.
The Pyreenes are very nice. Try to take some scenic roads, rather than the main motorway.

I'm not going to list the choices here, mainly because I just want the general idea. If I generalize the question and was given $n$ different integers divide some integer $r$, how do I determine what else it is divisible by?
My initial attempt at the problem was that it should be divisible by $2$ (since $8$ is divisible by $2$), and $3$ and $5$ (since $15$ is divisible by those). Then I thought the number should be divisible by $2, 3,$ and $5$. But apparently that's incorrect.

We have a number of resources we'd like people to be able to reserve online -- things like company cars and meeting rooms. There are too many to create a Google or Exchange calendar for each. Are there any webapps that would fill this need?
Some details: the frontend doesn't need to be password protected. It would be nice if the system had an API or a way to export reservations, as well.

I am seeing a Christmas animation on my mobile screen from 25th Dec 2012. I have no idea how did it come to my mobile. Because I rarely use internet on my mobile. And I used Internet last time at least 2-3 months before.
It automatically appears after some mins and eats my battery. I have checked all running and installed application. But none of them giving me any clue about this animation.
I am doubtful that this is the animation from Go launcher or Go SMS. but not confirmed.
I also have scanned my mob for spyware and antivirus. But nothing found.

Leg Exercises for Pregnant Women
Pregnancy Facts
There is a myth that says if a pregnant woman lifts her arms over her head, the baby will get tangled in the umbilical cord. This is not true at all and should not keep you from reaching high when you exercise.
Leg exercises improve circulation and reduce swelling and cramping in the ankles and calves. Give these simple ones a try:
- Lie on your side with your head on a pillow. Bend the lower leg at the knee and keep the top leg straight. Stretch your top leg with toes pointed as you lift it off the floor as high as you feel comfortable. Lower it back to the floor. Do this four times and then turn on the other side and repeat.
- This is a good one for your thighs: Sit on the floor with your legs stretched out in front of you. Cross your left ankle over your right knee. Use your right hand to pull the left thigh toward the right side.
Feel that stretch? Hold for one minute and then repeat on the other side. Do this just once a day and be careful not to stretch beyond your comfort level.

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.
To give an overview of the different measurements encountered in kinematics (as there doesn't seem to be a real, precise question asked here).
The most familiar quantity we encounter in kinematics is speed. Speed is abstractly how fast something is going. It does not take into account direction, and is therefore known as a scalar quantity. It is what we measure on the speedometer of a car. Speed is often denoted by $v$ in physics.
Velocity takes into account both speed and direction. It is a vector quantity, and is often denoted by $\vec{v}$ or $\mathbf v$ in physics. Velocity is the rate of change of distance with respect to time, which in calculus notation is written:
It is also useful to note that if we know the velocity, it is easy to find the speed, as we have the simple relationship:
Where $\|\cdot\|$ denotes the euclidean norm.
Acceleration formally is defined as the rate of change with velocity with respect to time, that is, it's a measurement of how fast the velocity is changing, so it is a vector quantity. That is, in calculus notation:
However, it is also sometimes used to refer to the norm of that quantity. So you may also see:
Bear in mind, there are also various higher derivatives (rates of change) which are occasionally used in kinematics, such as the derivative of acceleration with respect to time, called jerk and the derivative of that with respect to time, called jounce.
I hope this helps clear things up a bit, if you still have questions, feel free to ask them in the comments.
