Is it correct that, once bought a font, I'm not limited in time or number of projects I can use the font in? Say, I own Helvetica. Does it mean that now I have a right to use it in any of my projects?
Every font publisher has its own license that specifies the conditions of use, number of workstations ("seats") on which the font software may be installed, and the specific restrictions regarding use of the font. I don't know of any commercially sold fonts that restrict the number of projects or pieces in which a font may be used, nor can I think of a reason off-hand why a foundry would impose such a restriction except perhaps in the case of a font that was custom made for a particular customer and project.
There are plenty of fonts out there that don't permit embedding (in a document), however, and almost all font licenses do not permit you to send copies of the font to your friend, your colleague or your print provider, who is expected to buy his or her own license.
Your best bet is to find and read the license for the font you're planning to use.
Well, if you owned Helvetica you could do whatever you wanted to. However, that's not the case. Linotype owns Helvetica. You may however, own a license of that font, which is typically how buying fonts works. Basically, you buy a license for a font and then you have to abide by that license. Most of the time you're free to use the font as you please (as long as you don't redistribute it, resell it or any similar practice).
Generally, when you buy a font, you have permission to use it for commercial projects. However, I would always check the font's license to be sure!
Use cases that I've seen excluded from regular font licences, may need supplementary licences, or at least are worth double-checking on:
A simple way to think of it is: If you have purchased a license of the font (a copy) and can install it on your computer with the creator's permission, it's yours. You can use it as often as you like in projects, commercial or personal. You cannot supply anyone else with the font however. If a client needs a copy of the font so that they can use it in the future, you'll need to purchase a copy in their name, and charge them for it.
If the typeface has "business" and "personal" licenses and you intend on using it for commercial purposes you should buy the business license. Other that that, you are free to use it commercially (that is the reason most people buy typefaces in the first place).
Before you print your design, you should always convert your text to outlines (unless it features only very popular typefaces), because a printer provider cannot possibly license all typefaces that its clients are using.

What do you think about censorship?
The newest (7th in the series) Texas Chainsaw Massacre is coming out this weekend and people are saying that it shouldn't because of the Newtown school shooting.
The movie "The Watch" was originally going to be called "Neighborhood Watch" but its release was too close to the Treyvon Martin shooting.
Madonna was on tour and had a stop in CO. During one of her songs, she pretends to shoot her audience with a machine gun. The tour followed the movie theater shooting and people were protesting.
M.I.A. flipped off the camera during last year's Super Bowl and one of the "Parents against..." groups tried to sue NBC.
In some of the most recently published copies of Mark Twain's two American novels, "Tom Sawyer" and "Huck Finn," the "n word" was removed (I removed it to try to be sensitive) to the community.
I can go on and on. What do you, the community of deals.woot, think of these and other forms of censorship? Personally, I am against it, 100%, totally and completely.
45 Answers answer
Some of this goes back to being "offended".
Someone says something, you chose to be offended. Why should someone else's opinion drive what I say or do?
I can relate to The Adventures of Huckleberry Finn. It was an 8th grade reading assignment for the entire class, everyone had a paperback copy. Someone(s) raised a concern or protest about Mark Twain's style of writing in the vernacular of the day and the book got pulled.
Same thing happened with the song White Christmas, it wasn't allowed to be sung at school and had nothing to do with religious protests.
I don't think voices should be quelled.
I love censorship! But don't anyone dare censor my
For the love of... some at Woot delete this question. We cannot allow just anyone to ask anything. No one has that right.... What? First who? Amend what?
I'm not very sensitive to things, so none of those things bother me and I don't believe they should be censored. I also don't think we need to keep allowing crazy people to determine when others do things. That's how they win.
I honestly think that life is way too short to get up in arms about every little thing. While I may not like the fact that some "entertainers" are foul mouthed idiots who act like buffoons on crack, and I will not allow their cd's or movies or videos in my house, I will defend with my last breath their right to be foul mouthed idiots. Why should I have the right to tell someone that what they believe, or do, or say is wrong? What would keep them from telling me the same thing? And who picks the people who decide what's right and wrong? Are you going to trust a politician who says, "Oh yes, we know EXACTLY what's right for you?"
Post deleted due to content
I like the fact that the questioner censored him/herself by typing "n word".
@red13red26: I lol'd.
The thing I hate at least as much as censorship is people who run around invoking "First Amendment" everytime they get their feelings hurt. (I'm not directing this at the comment from @red13red26, that was funny.) I mean the morons who are unclear on either the idea that (a) you can say whatever you want, but everyone else is also free to disagree with you, even loudly and rudely; or (b) that the First Amendment limits only the government, and most private entities can censor you to their little [redacted] heart's content.
It all comes down to your definition of censorship. OP's question really only gets at one instance of classic censorship, which is the prior restraint or subsequent redaction of speech: private publishers' redaction of the "n-word" from Huck Finn.
The other examples are actually examples of free speech in action: one party speaks vulgarity, another protests. This is good. The KKK should be (and per a classic Supreme Court decision, is) able to march down the street spewing garbage. And I should be able to call them hideous, stinking morons lacking any regard for human decency. That is the epitome of the free speech our nation claims to value.
How about Huck Finn? This is censorship at its worst. It teaches children that art can and should be censored. It obscures an ugly part of American history and takes from teachers the opportunity to use the word to teach about that ugly past. It rewrites Mark Effing Twain. Is it legal? Sure. Is it despicable. Yes.
@dupedyetagain: Also, how they made Greedo shoot first and the cops in E.T. have walkie talkies instead of guns. Censorship [mod would probably remove] sucks!
I would censor the sites that show children in compromising positions, sorry.
@dupedyetagain's point is key to this question: there's only one example of "censorship" in the OP's post; the remainder are either the exercise of free speech and the exercise of free speech in response to it, or marketing designs such as changing the name of a movie.
For books like Huck Finn and Tom Sawyer, the original language is an integral part of understanding the social context and tone of the novels, but it's also one reason why unabridged versions aren't really appropriate for younger kids. When we read it in high school, discussing the language and our reactions to it were a big part of the lesson - and the part that I remember about studying it, all these years later.
Unfortunately, what is often called "free speech" is more a desire to say and do anything without repercussions. Much of what is defended with free speech is nothing more than bad taste and a lack of civility. There is such a thing as self-censorship and civil discourse. A growing number of people, especially those in the media or entertainment do not practice either simply to be shocking and be noticed. Certain "reality shows" like Jersey Shore and Real Housewives are comprised of nothing but crude discourse and shock shlock.
As for Mark Twain's books, they should not be censored for language. His writings were about the time period and the language is both period appropriate and literary appropriate. The language better illustrates the times and is a reminder of how certain words were created to try and diminish another person's or people's worth. It is especially ironic that Tom Sawyer and Huck Finn have been censored even as many in the African American community often use the "n-word" in general discourse with each other, usually in mock insult. Where is the desire to engage in censorship in this instance?
"I may disagree with what you say but I will defend to the death your right to say it." - Voltaire
Or, put another way:
"America isn't easy. America is advanced citizenship. You gotta want it bad, 'cause it's gonna put up a fight. It's gonna say "You want free speech? Let's see you acknowledge a man whose words make your blood boil, who's standing center stage and advocating at the top of his lungs that which you would spend a lifetime opposing at the top of yours. You want to claim this land as the land of the free? Then the symbol of your country can't just be a flag; the symbol also has to be one of its citizens exercising his right to burn that flag in protest. Show me that, defend that, celebrate that in your classrooms. Then, you can stand up and sing about the "land of the free". - The American President
Censorship is treason.
One of the great things about the "N" word in Mark Twain's stories is it opens the door to meaningful conversation. Just because a large group of people say or believe something, doesn't make it right. And that it still goes on. Bigotry against African, Asian, Women, Gay, Liberal, etc is a symptom of evil and poor upbringing. But as long as someone can make a buck, or pretend they're "good" by pretending someone else is "bad", it will seem to be acceptable behavior.
So I got to tell my kids, and now I tell my grandkids, the evilness of dehumanizing other groups of people. And that if someone will use Christs' name in doing justifying unChristian behavior they are basically a demon doing Blasphemy. Which is unhuman.
@thetexastwister: So, things you find offensive, you want censored (Jersey Shore, etc.), but things that someone else may find offensive (Twain's use of "n word"), you want to keep. Not very academically consistent.
@gidgaf: Wow. They're evil demons, huh? I don't believe in the supernatural so I like to think of them as ignorant or hateful. Calling them demons or blaming evil, in my mind, takes away some culpability from the person.
Well, its' a give and take thing.
Didya ever notice that the only people ever affected by demon possession are only the people who A) believe in that, and B) believe they deserve it.
And if you really are a kind of Xian, any kind, then you believe that your Creator does not stick voices in your head. Especially those that tell you to do any breaking of Commandments. Especially those that espouse doing evil to others.
By definition, anyone who has declared that God came to them in a voice, that God loves them best, God told them what to do, and it means doing something bad to otherwise good people, they have declared themselves soul less demons by their own beliefs. The RNC as an example of a conglomeration of them.
@kylemittskus: Typical Straw Man attack. Misrepresent rather than deal with the argument at hand.
To clarify:
We should have the respect of others to censor ourselves. Organizations which monitor the content of television shows exist largely because many in the television industry no longer have respect for us, their viewers, and therefore do not engage in appropriate self censorship.
As for the "reality show," Jersey Shore, Real Housewives and others like them popularize crude and disrespectful behaviour to others as a matter of normal discourse. This is not healthy to a society which seeks to preserve civility and respect of others.
Mark Twain's works were typical of the American experience at that time. Twain was quite observant of the human condition and put much of what he observed in his works. They were usually some from of critique of contemporaneous societal institutions. "Reality shows" cannot claim either as a defense.
@gidgaf: Ad hominem much?
@thetexastwister: a straw man argument would be me creating something to attack. I'm attacking exact what you're saying. You want some things censored and some not. Twain, as you state, represented a time period of an area (I love Twain) that could, and does, spark intelligent conversation. I don't see how Jersey Shore does anything different. Isn't JS creating academic, intelligent debate right now (I have never seen an episode, but I assume I'd hate it). But because you find it baseless, offensive, etc. you support some group censoring it because the TV industry doesn't. By your argument, Twain should be censored because someone, somewhere found it offensive. Cont...
...This takes me to your first point. You assume that what you would find respectful and what I would are fungible. They're not. You want X show censored because you find it disrespectful according to whatever rubric you decide. That is not universal. Hence, my belief that all censorship that is not imposed on self (my use of "n word" instead of using the word) is absurd.
@gidgaf: I have no idea what you're talking about. I'm not trying to be a jerk or funny; I am totally lost.
@dupedyetagain: I don't know if you or anyone else here remembers why Mark Twain's books were being "censored". It was because groups, like the ones that OP was mentioning, were complaining that the original text was offensive (because of the word that was later "censored") and should not be read by their childeren. So a publisher ran a custom "censored" edition (the book was not just randomly censored because of PC BS, but in response to a specific issue) to ensure that these important literary classics could still be allowed in the schools. Maybe their motives were actually money and not as noble as I've ascribed them to be. Maybe the parents should have not been so ignorant and closed-minded. Maybe the people who make these decisions at the school district should get spines and stop bending to the whims of angry mobs of parents. I'm not sure what the best course of action should have been, but I don't think that the "censorship" in this case was as bad as its been made out to be.
As far as the Madonna incident, people were already upset because she started four hours late. The gun skit was just fuel to her own fire.
I'm not sure exactly how I feel about censorship. I think it needs to be self imposed, first and foremost, and I'd LOVE to be able to turn on the television with children in the area without worrying about all the sex talk and swearing. It would be nice to be able to ride in the car with my dad (I'm a girl) and not have to hear Bruno Mars talking about someone's sex bringing him to paradise, or listening to Rihanna talk about sex being in the air and how she loves the smell of it and about how chains and whips excite her. Not only is it embarrassing, but I have to hear about it and it's happened so many times, I can't even listen to the radio in the car with my dad unless it's an oldies station. Nor can I watch even PG13 movies with him because they HAVE to put a sex scene or very dirty talk into it, and he always pauses it and tells me I need to leave. I don't get offended by swearing, I do it quite often as well as talk very dirty at times, but does it have to be so public? CONT
If I'm in a public place, with people around me (particularly children) I slap a filter on. I find it disrespectful to display that sort of behavior in front of children. Those parents may swear in front of their kids all the time for all I know, but I'm polite enough to replace my words so as not to offend people and also not be a bad influence on children. I have a friend who dislikes swearing and I try my best not to slip up even though she never gets mad at me or anything if I do swear, but I know she isn't a fan of it. I'm not saying someone should force you to not use profanity, but people should do it on their own.
And as for that new movie that has the n-word (one of the only things I refuse to say in real life) in it over 100 times, it is essential to the movie and should NOT be censored in theaters. It wasn't kittens and rainbows back then, they use that word so people REALIZE what it used to mean and how it was used to degrade. No comment on you MT book as I haven't read it
@kylemittskus: The existence of anything can prompt intelligent debate. That does not mean the thing has merit. This is not unlike being famous for being famous. Twain's work was a source of both adventurous fun and intellectual enlightenment. "Reality shows" like Jersey Shore and others have no such redeeming quality.
My point, though, is that we as a society should have minimum standards by which we should be able to censor ourselves as a substantive action of respect to others. By doing so there would be little need for independent oversight by third parties to do the censoring for us.
Persons who find Twain's work offensive because of the "n-word" do so out of a desire to be offended, often to remain in the public eye and for continued employment of their lawyers. Those who find Jersey Shore and others like it offense do so because it is inherently offensive. It genuinely undermines social discourse, civility and respect for others.
@kylemittskus: Incidentally, I would like to point out that it is common for those who support censorship of Mark Twain for the "n-word" because they find it racially insensitive often times decry any criticism of Jersey Shore and Real Housewives, et al., on the grounds that such criticism is a form of censorship or that it supposedly violates the First Amendment protection of Free Speech. Go Figure.
@pinchecat: Perhaps it was because you added no value to the conversation, you were just being rude and proving a point that didn't need to be proven. There are plenty of other ways to give your opinion. A "Screw Censorship" would have been well enough. Did you choose the F word because you knew it was most offensive, did you WANT to get censored on here to complain about it, or could you not think of anything else to say? Also, why do you have to space it in capital letters? And add a link which I have yet to watch? You're just being RUDE. Plus, people over 18 can be offended by swearing, and you don't have to be 18 to participate in discussions, correct?
TL;DR You are entitled to you opinion but you don't have to be rude.
@kylemittskus: Apologize, I do. I was very tired and frustrated, and I ranted.
I've run into too many people who believe they have the freedom to tell you what freedom you are allowed.
After some resistance, they often bring up A Magical Invisible Friend to back them up. Or they resort to self induced self righteous hysteria to show you how serious they are. All just to tell you that you have Wrong Think going on.
You don't like Madonna? Don't go to her concerts. Don't buy her music. Don't dare to tell me not to!
I listened to Metallica- and a lot of my Xian friends said they'd pray for me. Why? You actually believe that has an effect?
Show me that devil music lyrics. There wasn't any. They never listened, read or knew, but they had friends who said-, and they had friends who said-, etc. Censorship, based on petty bigotry, ignorance and self righteousness.
It's our culture. Book, record and cross burnings. PC speak and zero tolerance. My affected offense trumps your reason.
@gidgaf: what are you referring to as "Xian" - what i know it to be (a chinese city with ancient historical significance) doesn't seem to mesh with your usage. I might just be missing something.
@kllangellier: the concept that any particular word is any "worse" than another is rooted in the same little house on the prairie logic that brought us the muslim rule that women must cover their hair, and the thinking that prostitution somehow legally affects those who aren't engaging in the act. shaping societal rules and perceptions around the strictest of body shame beliefs is as ridiculous as the religions that originate them.
@thetexastwister: my issue is the very nature of a "minimum standard." Who decides what is offensive and what is not? I literally find nothing offensive. I'm a MOT. Recently, there was a movement in SF against circumcision and ads were posted that were really anti-semetic. I disagreed with the ads, but found none of them offensive.
My issue, I guess, is the entire idea of something being offensive. You want some standard by which we censor ouselves. But what standard would that be? What if I think it goes too far? Or not far enough. What if you say yes and I say no? There is no way to standardize offensive. Look the other way if you don't like what you see. But censor nothing.
I suppose I'm just very different from most people in this conversation. My goal is to NOT offend people, or rather, not hurt their feelings or make them feel the need to leave my presence. Sure, people want to act how they want to act, and I'd like to be able to say "I F*ing love you!" semi-loudly in a public place when my friends say something that makes me laugh, but I think about how I would feel if I heard someone telling someone they were a fattie or fat ass (hint: I'm fat). I'm semi-offended by fat jokes, or rather, it makes me very uncomfortable and reminds me of being teased and bullied, and if I don't like when someone does it (though I don't say anything) I figure there are things I do that a large group of people find offensive or make them uncomfortable, perhaps I shouldn't do it.
Also, the reason I don't use the n-word is because where I come from, it's NEVER used as just a word, it's used in disgust, people are really racist here. AND my nephew is black, so I won't.
@kylemittskus: Like most common standards of this nature they would be derived from a moral or ethical standard. A standard that is consistent over time rather than relative. In this case it would be a standard of civility that is both positive and that should be emulated. This standard should also recognize that there is a difference between true art (Twain) and profanity for the sake of profanity (Real Housewives). This standard, when upheld by individuals would help to maintain a healthy and civil society, and when upheld by society would help to maintain healthy and civil individuals.
My opinion on "Free Speech" is as follows:
As much as some people's opinions and hateful words tick me off - we should not censor. Better to let someone out themselves as a (insert hateful person moniker here), than to have them silently rage and surprise you with their crazy/stupid/annoying.
Really though, Free Speech is not free from consequences. It is your right to vocalize your thoughts/opinions/whatever, but that doesn't mean anyone else wants or has to listen to you do it. If someone hears you and is offended, they have the right to vocalize that as well.
What we do not have the right to do is silence those we disagree with. Even if what they are saying is hateful.
As to the changing of names, editing movies, etc. in the name of "sensitivity" - eh, that depends on each case. Sometimes it would be better to leave it alone and let people deal with seeing something (the WTC in Spiderman). Sometimes, not shoving someone's face in painful reminders is best.
@thetexastwister: You want a universally recognized and agreed upon, unchanging, standard based upon morals or ethics that you also assume are universally recognized and agreed upon and unchanging. Can you get any more absolutist?
You realize that morals, ethics, language, offensiveness, people, society, culture, art, and on and on are always changing, right? In the '20s, a woman with bobbed hair was considered a slut; the hair cut was offensive to people (read Fitzgerald's "Bernice Bobs Her Hair). Do you think that now? If yes, you're insane. If no, you completely undermined what you claim should exist.
@kylemittskus: You're doing a straw man again.
The basic or fundamental morals and ethics of self censorship I speak of will never once achieve the level of detail you try to project on my argument. I am looking for a basic and broad level of civility, not the micromanagement you seem so determined to use to improperly and incorrectly redefine my argument so you can reject it out of hand. Remember, I'm talking about self censorship and respect for others where as you seem to want to define everything as someone else censoring us arbitrarily.
Think of what you learned in kindergarten about how to treat others around you. That is a good start. Also there is the golden rule "treat others as you would like to be treated." No one standard will ever be accepted by everyone, nothing ever will. But that should not stand in the way of creating meaningful, minimum standard of civility.
I'll strike a different view, since frankly, i think most people who say "i'll defend to the death your right to say it" are full of absolute BS.
I'm fine with censorship. Not unilaterally, or heavy handed... but lets face it... hiding behind freedom of speech is what gives wack-jobs like the westboro church a false legitimacy. The problem with a censorship-free society, combined with sensationalist media is that it takes two platforms... pro and against whatever.. and allows it to be co-opted by the extremists. You get to see someone who has dedicated a life's work to a subject, has proven to be impartial, and can relinquish actual data supporting a side, and then, in a split screen next to him/her, you'll have someone with literally no credentials, blustering opinion, and nothing to back it up, yet they are made to be arguing on equal standing. It's silly, and some people and positions absolutely deserve to be censored. (continued)
BUT - therein lies the problem. Who gets to decide? who gets to determine what is and isn't a legitimate argument, or does or does not contribute to society (or even that contribution should play a factor) - therefore - since censorship in general has historically wound up being abused by those who control it... if we are to call ourselves a free society, we have to stand against it. But don't insult anyone's intelligence by saying for instance.. that the group of hate mongers protesting (well, cheering about) your gay son's death will be defended "to the death" by you, at least not willingly. At best, you'll do it as part of your job, and under command of a superior, if you're in the military or law enforcement. As for privately controlled chat boards, such as this - censor away as you see fit. free speech isn't guaranteed as an inherent right within private organizations.
sidenote - that quote is constantly being inappropriately attributed to Voltaire. He never said it. The only time it appears in print, related to him, is in a 1906 book called "Friends of Voltaire" - and it was a phrase coined (not by Voltaire, but the author of this 1906 book) to illustrate his supposed attitude towards a philospher's works (which he disapproved of) being burned (which he also disapproved of). Voltaire might have championed free speech in that particular case, but certainly never stated it to be a mantra, nor did he use the actual words

An argument over municipal authority may result in a lawsuit after representatives from the Russellville City Council and the city's Electric Plant Board could not reach an agreement at Tuesday night's city council meeting.
Fred Greene, counsel for the EPB came to present the Board's response to an ordinance passed by the city council two weeks ago which calls for term limits on board members, cancellation of the board's current health insurance plan, and adoption of a new travel policy. Council members had raised concerns in previous meetings over what they considered excessive business travel by board members.
Greene said current Kentucky law only allows the city council to approve of nominees to the Board, and review an annual audit of the Board. He believes any other control the city council tries to exert would be going against the law, and told the Council they would have to sue in order to enforce the new ordinance.
The City Council's attorney said he believes that there is a strong possibility the matter will end up in court.

I received my NN3 MKII with the RD16 base, late last week. My plan was to use my existing Acratech GP ballhead as a leveling base. The fly in the ointment, is that both the ballhead and the RD16 base require a 3/8-16 threaded stud, and no one really offers such a accessory (since both the RD16 base and the GP ballhead only have a female 3/8-16 threaded mounting). Right now I am using a camera plate and its quick release base along with a 1/4 - 3/8 screw adapter to attach the two major mechanical components together. [The problem with this assembly is the rear lip on the camera baseplate is not flush, thus the RD16 is not sitting level, therefore requires additional leveling.] I was planning to the camera plate and base on my backup camera. It would have been nice to be able to just find a plane 3/8 -16 threaded stud about an inch (maybe an 1.5 inches) in length offered by someone to simplify the connection process. I can't be the only one who has run in to this connection problem. Standard leveling bases come with a 3/8-16 male threaded stud as part of the base, that solves this problem.
I do have to say that once assembled, the NN3 is very easy to operate, and is much more accurate than what I have been doing (by hand and eye). It speeds up the process greatly.

Consider a real symmetric matrix $A\in\mathbb{R}^{n \times n}$. The associated quadratic form $x^T A x$ is a convex function on all of $\mathbb{R}^n$ iff $A$ is positive semidefinite, i.e., if $x^T A x \geq 0$ for all $x \in \mathbb{R}^n$.
Now suppose we have a convex subset $\Phi$ of $\mathbb{R}^n$ such that $x \in \Phi$ implies $x^T A x \geq 0$. Is $x^T A x$ a convex function on $\Phi$ (even if $A$ is not positive definite)? Of course, the answer in general is "no," but we can still ask about the most inclusive conditions under which convexity holds for a given $A$ and $\Phi$. In particular I'm interested in the question:
Suppose we have a quadratic form $Q:\mathbb{R}^{n \times n} \rightarrow \mathbb{R}$. What is the weakest condition on $Q$ that guarantees it will be convex when restricted to the set of positive semidefinite matrices?

Questions about city's direction
March 3, 2013
To the editor: My civil rights were violated and I was discriminated against....
Tom I hate to tell you nobody comes to town whether business or for new residence isn't because of racist city. It because the city is infested w welfare trash and gang bangers selling and using drugs. This town has too much welfare housing which brings noting positive to the town.

TomSays, Your an idiot. The city does not discriminate against anyone! We got Mayo and Miss Wiggins to keep us straight. ****...... Its the entitlement that actually makes me mad. No one is entitled to anything, but to breath. Maybe you are one of the entitled ones?

Not only does Steubenville city leadership coverup rapes, but it openly discriminates against African Americans too. How sad that such a city exists in this day and age. It's no doubt why it's economy has gone down the proverbial toilet. Businesses do not want to be where racism exists.

I am going to go out on a limb and say , bust my balls if ya want but..... I am tired of the entitlement black people feel they should have. If things do not go their way then they yell racism, discrimination or my civil rights were violated. Give it up! LIFE is an equal opportunity employer. I don't care if you are yellow, black , white or green . I could be black for all you know, but you don't, cause I do not throw that racism card out when things do not go my way!

I knew this was going to happen. Black VS white ! white person got the job not the black! give it a break! It doesn't matter what color you are "We were the lowest paid workers in the city. We never got a raise in the years I was there - I worked there nine years with no raise - but we did four jobs: secretary, recreation aide, tutoring and senior citizens bingo and janitor."
You did your job, plain and simple. No one has be given a raise in the city either, who are union, join the club!. And we do other jobs also. No shaft was given , it went according to contract. I don't understand why you are saying your civil rights were violated and was discriminated against. You are part time and that is how it goes. Next are you going to say racism? WHY do "Blacks" have to work at the MLK center? what does this have to do with your job? Is it written somewhere that the city has to hire black people to work at the MLK or hire White people to work at the health dept? H

I picked this idea up from some blog or another.
Go to your work and nab a few of those cantilevered paperclips (the ones that really, really hurt when you stick your finger in and let it close). Then do this:
(In 1,2 and Out 1,2)
And this:
Poor Man's patchbay!
The intended application was for USB cables that get used for multiple devices; to keep them from getting their way and falling behind and off the side of your desk. In this case it works particularly nicely. You will note that in the top photo, the cables are labelled 1, 2 and Out1, Out2. Simply put, I've built the world's ghettoest patchbay. It really is nice, because I use a lot of analog guitar pedals as outboard effects. This way my I/O, such as it is, is kept tidy, and I don't have to do any reaching around the back of my setup to plug/unplug cables, knocking expensive things over. Also, I don't have to drop a bunch of money to buy a 36 channel patchbay, of which I'll use maybe 6. I can expand/contract it as needed at virtually no expense.

I was talking to my attorney, from the esteemed firm of Dewey, Cheetum and Howe, and he made the above remark in response to a financial statement that I had produced earlier. What did Bernie mean?

A "bucket shop" is an unethical business operation:
(Investopedia.com notes that the latter definition "comes from more than 50 years ago, when bucket shops would do trades all day long, throwing the tickets into a bucket. At the end of the day they would decide which accounts to award the winning and losing trades to.")
A "piker" is a small-time player, someone who operates cheaply and takes only small risks in a very cautious manner.
So, Bernie is saying that this place is a shady operation that caters to cheap, chintzy, risk-averse individuals and tries to continuously cheat them out of small amounts of money; they will throw in only an occasional small payoff to a customer to offset a part of the overall loss suffered, so as to keep him hooked on the possibility of getting a big payoff.

Automotive Fittings - Getting FitWritten by on May 18, 2007 How To Identify One From Another
Here's the scenario: It's Saturday morning and you begin a project/update/repair on your street rod that you've told yourself will only take half an hour or so to complete. Before you know it, an hour has passed and you're still searching through several coffee cans full of fittings for the last one needed to complete the chore, but nothing seems to fit. In desperation, you jam a couple of fittings together with enough Teflon tape to bandage your head, but your rod now leaks like the Valdez. So you're off to the local parts house where the kid behind the counter wants to know the make, model, and year of the car, and if it has air conditioning. He then points you to a cabinet full of fittings, most of which are in the wrong bins, and now the challenge is to figure out what is compatible with what, so you waste even more time trying to make things screw together. If something like this has ever happened to you, your pals at STREET RODDER want to help.
When it comes to automotive fittings, the possible combinations will melt your brain, but thanks to the help of Gary Clausen and Jason Hofman of Pure Choice Motorsports, we're going to explain the most common fittings and show what they look like.
Pipe Threads
There are actually several types of pipe threads, but the most common in automotive use is the American Standard Pipe Taper Thread, or NPT. Unlike the threads on a screw, or other fittings for that matter, pipe threads are tapered. Because of the taper, a pipe can only screw into a fitting a certain distance before it begins to jam.
When dealing with pipe fittings, figuring out the proper size can be confusing. At one time, size was determined by the pipe's internal diameter-a misconception that continues today, even among some of those who sell the stuff for a living. The correct method to determine pipe size for cars is now determined by the Society of Automotive Engineers' guidelines for Dryseal American Standard Tapered Pipe Threads (NPTF). With this system, pipe size does not agree with either the inside diamter (id) or ouside diameter (od), or thread pitch. The proper means to determine pipe size (up to 1 1/4-inch) is to measure the diameter of the threads and subtract 1/4-inch. For example, subtract 1/4-inch from a 1-inch thread od to obtain the nominal pipe size of 3/4-inch.
While NPTF fittings are supposed to make a leak-proof mechanical seal, some sort of sealer-such as Teflon tape or Teflon-based paste-is usually advisable. When using either, use caution so as not to get either inside the assembly. The best way to do this is to stay off the first two threads.
Inverted Flare
One of the most common types of fittings found on automobiles is the SAE double inverted flare. It is unique in that the flare is doubled, or folded back on itself, for increased strength and resistance to cracking. The tube flare is clamped between the nut and flare seat of body when screwed together so when the assembly is tightened, a leak-proof metal-to-metal joint is created and no sealer is necessary.
Typical inverted flare applications are brakes, power steering, fuel, and transmission cooler lines. These connections are vibration-resistant and when used with the proper tubing will withstand working pressure up to 2,000 psi with burst pressures up to 5,000 psi.
SAE 45-Degree Flare
Found on instruments, power steering, and some hydraulic (not brakes) and fuel lines, these differ from inverted design in that a single flare is used. Care should be used during installation as over tightening can cause the tubing to split.
Compression Fittings
Intended for low- and medium-pressure applications, compression fittings are easy to assemble because they do not require flaring or soldering. A sleeve is used over the tubing, and when the nut is tightened, the wedging action of sleeve between body and nut create a tight, leak-free connection.
Often used on instruments, and some air and hydraulic lines, compression fittings are used on a variety of tubing materials; however, they should never be used on brakes.
Brake-Fitting Adapters
Hydraulic brake-fitting adapters can be used to connect brake lines to different size ports in a dual master cylinder, combine different types of fitting-such as inverted flare, pipe, and AN-or to mix standard and metric fittings.
AN Fittings
Conventional automotive lines and fittings use 45-degree double flares; AN lines and fittings use 37-degree single flares. The reference "AN" stands for Army/Navy and it was a system devised by the government to ensure interchangeability and compatibility of parts made by various manufacturers. With the AN system, a dash number is assigned to each different size metal tubing and the corresponding fittings, and the same numbers are also assigned to the hose and their ends. Another application of 37-degree flares will be found on JIC hydraulic fittings.
AN fittings are often found on street rods in combination with pipe and inverted flare fittings, which means special adapters are required. Suppliers, such as Pure Choice Motorsports, can supply such fittings as well as lines, individual parts, or complete kits.
Look long and hard enough and you're likely to find an adapter to connect just about any two fittings together. However, keep in mind that when it comes to brakes, only 45-degree double-flare or 37-degree AN components should be used.
Clamp-Style Hose Fittings
Clamp-style hose fittings are manufactured for low-pressure applications with multipurpose hose (worm-style clamps are good for a maximum of 35 psi). A hose clamp is required between the raised end of the fitting and the end of the hose.
Push-On Hose Fittings
Push-on hose fittings are manufactured for low and medium pressure (maximum pressure 200 to 250 psi). These fittings are quick connecting and have high resistance to vibration damage. When used in combination with the proper hose, no clamps are required.
Teflon Tape
In most cases, properly flared and installed fittings should seal by themselves; however, Teflon tape or Teflon-based sealing compound is often used on pipe threads.
Teflon tape can prevent leaks and make it easier to tighten fittings and disassemble them later, and it can reduce/eliminate thread galling and protect fasteners made from corrosion. However, there are some places it should never be used, such as the engine's electrical senders and the cooler line fittings in automatic transmissions.
Used on senders, it will insulate them, preventing the proper grounding necessary for accurate gauge operation. On transmission lines, it can make the pipe fittings tighten so easily that the tapered threads can split the case.
So Many Choices
If we included every fitting available in the form of tubing and fitting, we wouldn't have room for anything else in the magazine this month, so we've tried to cover the most common items a street rodder will come across. Next time we'll show how to properly flare tubing, use sealants, and build solid and rigid lines, and a bunch more. In the meantime, stay fit!

A variety of tubing is used in street rods, and it takes an even wider variety of fittings to hook it all together. Only rigid steel or stainless should be used with plumbing brakes; aluminum may be used for fuel lines if it's secured properly to prevent vibration; and copper or plastic may be used to connect some mechanical instruments.For a tight, leak-free seal, the tubing nut for an inverted flare has a seat that matches the angle of the flare.The same inverted flare fitting showing the male pipe threads. This example is 3/16-inch inverted flare (the size of the line used) and 9/16-inch male pipe.Fittings come in all sorts of shapes and angles; this is a 90-degree 3/8-inch inverted flare (size of the line) and 3/8-inch pipe.Two sealing methods are at work here: an inverted flare and pipe threads. This combination should only require sealer or Teflon tape on the pipe threads.
Another common junction is the inverted flare branch tee. It has two inverted flare connections and one male pipe. Branch tees are also available with female pipe threads.AN fittings are sized by "dash" numbers. Each number refers to 1/16-inch. As an example, -3 equates to a 3/16-inch line.What we have here is an -8 AN (1/2-inch) to 1/2-inch tube compression fitting. Note the sleeve that slides over the tubing; it grips the tube when the nut is tightened.
Often found on oil pressure gauges, this is another style of compression fitting. Note the male end on the left is pipe.After the nut is tightened, the sleeve compresses and grips the tubing. The tube protrudes slightly because it seats in the other portion of the fitting.Often called a Ford nut, this is a compression fitting without a sleeve. It was used on early Ford vacuum lines, among other applications.Referred to as a banjo design because of its shape, these fittings can swivel to make connections easier. They are often found in the brake system. Gaskets are used on both sides of the banjo to prevent leaks. This one accepts an AN fitting.In a banjo fitting, fluid flows through the center of the attachment bolt (note the hole) and an annular groove cut into the housing.This adapter would be used to connect a female -3 AN line to a wheel cylinder or caliper that has a female 3/16-inch inverted flare port.Another handy adapter: a tee to allow the use of an 1/8-inch pipe hydraulic stoplight switch in -3 AN lines.Barb fittings are commonly found in fuel lines. They accommodate different size hose, and may have male or female ends.
This is a cool piece. It accepts a standard 3/16-inch inverted flare brake line and connects to a -3 flex hose. The groove is for a brake line clip to lock the fitting securely in a mounting tab.While this looks like an ordinary barb fitting, it is unique because it has the unusual threads found in Stromberg 97 and early Ford Holley carburetors.There are a variety of adapters for later-model carburetors that allow the use of AN lines rather than the OEM-style inverted flare style. This one is for a Rochester Quadrajet.On the subject of Stromberg 97s, Dick Crawford makes these cool combination needle and seat/barb fittings that swivel to make connecting single or multiple carburetors easy. They also come oversize so stripped float bowls can be saved.A simple trick to keep copper oil pressure lines from fracturing is a vibration loop (plus it looks cool). Wrap the tubing a turn or two around anything cylindrical.

6 Utterly Insane Innovations History Was SURE Were Coming
Popular Science is a pretty reputable publication. It's all right there in the name: This is strictly the most popular science around, folks. None of that weirdo, mascara-wearing fringe stuff allowed at this Science Prom, sonny. If there's going to be any speculation at all within these tomes, it will be a totally reasonable extrapolation of current emerging technologies that -- aw, hell, who are we kidding? The only difference between old-timey Popular Science and B-quality science fiction covers was a pair of heaving green breasts. Need proof? Sure: Here are the most baffling vehicular predictions Popular Science seemed really keen on at the time ...
#6. Everything Will Evolve into One Giant Wheel
For some reason, Popular Science just could not accept that cars, trains and airplanes were actually viable methods of travel. They looked at the stable, speedy craft of the day and said "Surely these are flashes in the pan. The future is ONE GIANT WHEEL!" And then they laughed and chugged laudanum until they lapsed into a Science Coma.
And we get the appeal, really, we do: But it just seems cruel to use your Inverse Penny-Farthing of Death to mow down those tiny little dudes with their adorable toy cannons. Pick on somebody your own size, Science.
April 1923
Sometimes he puts playing cards in between the spokes.
This is how much Popular Science was willing to sacrifice for our uni-wheel-based future: They were totally OK with being built into their vehicles permanently, with no possible means of exit.
December 1924
Men in Black III is looking at a lawsuit from the past future.
We make fun, but you have to admit: The future that Popular Science envisioned -- a hectic, frenetic place full of pencil-mustachioed men being pursued by the ghost bikers from Heavy Metal -- is way cooler than the Priuses and electric trams we ended up with.
#5. Ground Transport With Propellers
A propeller car? But why, Popular Science? It obviously already has an engine and wheels of at least the same size as, if not bigger than, a normal car's, and in the same places, too! What does using a propeller add to this automobile design, aside from a sexy element of danger? Sure, if you mowed down some neighborhood kids while whiskey-bombing around town in your bright orange plane-car, the victim would be in way too many pieces to ever testify against you, but even for an era when people wanted to ride Hula Hoops into war, that seems unusually reckless.
May 1933
Primary design influences: Twinkies and Jules Verne.
The only benefit we can see to mounting a giant, completely unshielded propeller on the front of a train in place of an internal engine is that it could conceivably lubricate the tracks with the blood of sleeping hobos.
July 1934
"Ideally, we want a monorail that constantly crashes into the Empire State Building."
Oh! OK. All right, we're starting to see it now. They wanted to design a form of transport that mimicked a pair of boobies decked out with spinning tassels as closely as possible. We apologize for all that earlier nay-saying, old-timey Science; we're totally on board with that agenda.
#4. Snow Vehicles With Aircraft Features
You're already a grown-ass man on a sled. You look ridiculous. Why not slap some kite wings on there and fly away from the shame? At least it would be fun as hell, right?
But no.
Look at his face. Look at that grim, determined expression, completely oblivious of that goofy athletic-sock hat flapping in the breeze behind him. This man is not having something so trite as "fun," no -- he has only gone kite-sledding to advance the noble endeavors of all mankind. God bless you, sir.
January 1931
Skis for skiing, wings for breaking your goddamn neck.
And you, noble pioneer: We salute your stoic-faced determination. No, don't salute back. We understand. You have to hold on to those wings with your bare hands for some reason.
February 1935
Nothing says "thrilling" like being one well-placed rock away from castration.
And you, esteemed pilo-
OK, no. Listen, somebody has to be having fun on one of these damn things. If you're not, then just get off. It's our turn. And we'll show you how it's fucking done: Our "whee"s shall vibrate the oceans themselves.
November 1939
Didn't James Bond escape from these people at one point?
Oh, holy shit! Never mind! You guys can keep that one. What happens if he wipes out? He has no choice but to go straight into that open propeller behind him. That guy doesn't even look like he was supposed to be attached to that thing. It looks more like he went out for a nice between-war ski session when that screaming metal Beholder with a propeller for a face started chasing him down a mountain, leaving him no choice but to latch on to its arms and shred the rad -- shred the rad for his very life!

Women's Tennis Drops to USC Aiken, 7-2February 19, 2014
ANDERSON, S.C. – Despite singles wins by junior Karen Ching and sophomore Alexandra Ebner, Anderson University women's tennis was unable to maintain Peach Belt Conference opponent USC Aiken, suffering a 7-2 loss Wednesday afternoon at the Max Grubbs Memorial Courts.
The loss drops the Trojans to 0-3 on the season, still seeking to get into the win column for the 2014 season. USC Aiken improves to 4-0 for the young season.
After falling in all three doubles matches, Ching gave the Anderson lineup some momentum when she posted a 6-3, 6-3 victory over Margot Simon at the No. 1 position. Following Ching was Ebner who tallied her first singles win of the season, knocking off Franziska Regel 6-4, 7-6 (4) at No. 4.
The Trojans were unable to pull off another singles victory, as freshman Rebecca Bruning, who was 2-0 in singles entering the match, fell in three sets to USC Aiken's Julie Arruda 6-2, 2-6, 7-6 (6).
AU looks to bounce back on Saturday when it returns to South Atlantic Conference play at conference newcomer Coker. First serve from Hartsville is slated for 1 p.m.

In a case the defendant believes is the longest misdemeanor case in state history, a jury found former Barren County magistrate, Dr. Christ Steward, not guilty of a criminal mischief charge on Thursday.
The charges stem from an incident where Dr. Steward allegedly threw a handful of rocks at his neighbor's passing truck in December of 1997. Dr. Steward has maintained his innocence and says the charges were an attempt to derail his campaign from magistrate, charges the neighbor, Paul Houchens, flatly denies.
The case has seen three judges and three special prosecutors in its history, which includes a dismissal which was appealed by prosecutors and reversed in 2001. Dr. Steward believes the case was a major factor in his close defeat during a 2002 run for County Judge-Executive. Steward says the case has done damage to his reputation and business and cost more than $40,000 in legal fees and lost time at work.
No figures are available for how much the entire case has cost taxpayers to prosecute, though the current special prosecutor, Jeff Eastman, says Dr. Steward filed for at least one continuance and says the state is not entirely at fault for the delay. Eastman says he can't comment further because another criminal investigation has stemmed from the trial and could result in more criminal charges being filed.

The Director's Welcome
Welcome to WKU Forensics! My life forever changed through my participation in forensics at WKU and I have seen the activity have similar impact on thousands of students across the nation. I am happy you are interested in learning more about this incredible activity.
Forensics, or competitive speech and debate, offers students ranging from junior high to college age the skills necessary to confidently and effectively communicate in any situation. This activity teaches students to research, write and deliver valuable messages. By participating in forensics, students follow current events, become exposed to a wide-array of fiction and non-fiction literature, engage in critical discourse, and learn how to become wise consumers of persuasion.
But forensics does so much more than that.
It gives students an opportunity to share their experiences. Forensics is a forum that exposes participants to diverse perspectives and ultimately, encourages the recognition of our shared humanity. For this reason, students in the activity are not only impressive in job interviews, but also tend to be more engaged in social issues civic life.
Forensics at WKU has a long and storied tradition. We are the oldest and most successful student organization on campus. Our program has won more national forensics titles in the last ten years than any other team in the country. WKU is the only team to win the American Forensic Association national title, National Forensic Association national title, NFA debate national title and the International Forensic Association title all in the same year, a benchmark the team has set six times.
Our students are not only leaders in forensics, they are also leaders in our campus community. Our diverse team of 48 individuals represent 16 states and 18 different majors. Team members serve the university in a variety of capacities. Current team members work as official university ambassadors, hold positions in our Student Government Association, and several members serve on the Dean's Council of Students.
We have produced multiple university, national, and international scholars who have received prestigious fellowships and grants, including Fulbrights. Our graduates have gone on to earn master's degrees in a variety of fields, PhDs, EdDs, and law degrees (with one recent graduate scoring in the top 1% in the nation on the LSAT). Our alumni have gone on to become Harvard Law students and Hollywood actors, Supreme Court defenders and Buzzfeed editors. All of our graduates know that no matter where they end up, they forever have a home on the Hill.
WKU Forensics also realizes the importance of giving back to the community through outreach initiatives. Our coaches and students have assisted high school and junior high teams in need of coaching support, provided scholarships for students in need of financial assistance, hosted large non-profit junior and senior high school tournaments, provided an annual non-profit summer camp for students across the nation, worked with local inner city schools on campus beautification projects, hosted can drives, and have partnered with Bowling Green's Family Enrichment Center on their annual fund-raiser to end child abuse and neglect in the region. In addition to these efforts, this year the team volunteered with New Beginnings Therapeutic Riding, a nonprofit organization that uses the medium of horseback riding to improve the communication and social skills of children with disabilities. The WKU Forensics team believes in helping students of all ages achieve academic distinction, and in the importance of giving back to our community.
We thank you for taking the time to learn more about this life-changing activity and we encourage you to share it with anyone who'll listen! Please let me know if there are any questions about our program I can answer.

The 30 Most Unsettling German Halloween Costumes
According to some very expensive market research we conducted, this Halloween more than 75 percent of Cracked readers are planning on dressing up as Napoleon Dynamite, again. As we lament the sad state of America's proudest holiday, inevitably the question arises, "How do the Germans practice Halloween? Are they much better at it than us? Like they are with pornography?"
It turns out that the answer is no. Despite their mastery of over the top, noholds-barred erotica, the German people have little to no skill at coming up with Halloween costumes that aren't baffling or terrifying. Below we illustrate the most unsettling examples we could find.
"Of course you can use the phone; he's standing over there. Oh, you, uh, have to dial zero to get an outside line. I know it's normally nine. It's weird. No, you'll have to press harder than that; it's a little sticky."
This is a pretty typical entry in the canon of unsettling German Halloween costumes. The combination of a grey, felt suit and a bizarrely realistic head, make this look like something out of a dream sequence in a David Lynch film.
Here's the great emancipator, who, judging by his expression, is scheming up ways to emancipate children from their clothes.
A kangaroo costume isn't a bad idea if you're attending a party, as it gives you a convenient place to store food and drink. We'll tell you from experience, reaching into your nether regions and pulling out a handful of onion dip is a great way to make conversation. Or, end it.
If we're being generous, we'll assume this is a friendly tadpole costume, and not a green sperm costume. Although, we're frankly leaning towards the latter, given that it's carrying around a towel, possibly to wipe itself off a magazine.
We're not entirely sure what the cane adds to this costume. We guess it's a good way to class it up a bit, and probably comes in handy if you need to fend off the cell phone guy when he gets too grabby.
In classical mythology, Neptune is one of the mightiest Gods, second only to Zeus in power. In Germany, he's a skinny, lime-green Santa Claus.
Most people have heard that David Hasselhoff is extremely and unreasonably popular in Germany, but few know that Alf enjoys a similarly successful music career there, as well. This is because many Germans mistakenly believe the two are related.
According to the website we found it on, this costume is called "America Boy." Given that the costume is covered in the Union Jack, this is a title that misses the mark by just a whisker.
This is actually a pretty good example of the kind of geographical blunder Americans are always getting blamed for.
In German culture, the teddy bear is terrible authority figure used to warn children about the dangers of constipation.
Continue the freak show!

I wonder if it is safe to run the Tablediff tool on a database fairly often? Let's say every 15 or 30 minutes. Also, the Data in the DB is around 100 GB.
Sign up
- Anybody can ask a question

Although I think possibly you could find a better way to do this task, believe you would be fine using TableDiff utility. It is a fast operation which should not affects your performance:
What is said in MSDN: http://msdn.microsoft.com/en-us/library/ms162843(v=sql.100).aspx
So I reckon you'll be fine as long as set the time out connection and number of retries to something meaningful, so in case things go wrong, the process doesn't waste time.
You can set these parameters:
Number of times that the utility retries a failed operation
Sets the connection timeout period, in seconds, for connections to the source server and destination server.
Also you need to estimate the time it takes to finish the process, avoiding to call this process sooner than the previous run is finished obviously :)
tablediff is not designed to be used as a real-time synchronization tool (it seems this is your goal). If you really need real-time sync, there's database mirroring. The primary server sends its transaction logs to the secondary, which then replays the transaction logs - so the databases are synchronized Check out MSDN for more info Database Mirroring (SQL Server)

Aldila's NV® shaft helps Transitions Championship winner reclaim #1 in World
'The Hottest Shafts In Golf' dominates wood shaft manufacturer count by 34, hybrid count by 7
POWAY, Calif. – Heading into the four-man sudden-death playoff at the Transitions Championship Sunday, the odds of the winner playing an Aldila shaft was pretty favorable with three of the four players playing Aldila. The winner, who birdied the first playoff hole, was playing Aldila's NV® and the other two players were playing Aldila's DVS™ and RIP®.
With the win, the Transitions Champ captured his 5th PGA Tour victory and regained the top spot in the Official World Golf Rankings.
Led by their most popular shaft the RIP, "The Hottest Shafts In Golf" dominated to wood shaft manufacturer counts at the Transitions Championship by having 34 more wood shafts in play then their next leading competitor, according to the Darrell Survey. Aldila (www.aldila.com) also had seven more hybrid shafts in play than the next leading shaft manufacturer. Aldila has won the wood and hybrid shaft manufacturer counts in 12 of 13 PGA Tour events this season.
Aldila's Tour proven RIP (Reverse Interlaminar Placement) Technology provides a shaft design with optimum flex and torque characteristics with increased cross-sectional stability throughout the tip area for greater shot control.
"When designing the RIP®, Aldila completely turned golf shaft design and performance inside out through the use of computer modeling technology and exclusive carbon fiber materials," said Stewart Bahl, Aldila's Marketing Manager.
Aldila's RIP series features five different shafts to help meet the needs of a variety of players. The RIP Alpha, RIP Beta, RIP Gamma, RIP'd NV and RIP Phenom. Aldila now has RIP iron shafts in research and development. One of the Top 10 finishers at the Transitions Championship was playing their R&D RIP Iron.
The RIP Alpha is a tip-stiff, low-to-mid launch with low spin and is the original shaft with lower torque, increased tip stability and better tip stiffness. The RIP Beta version has a slightly softer tip flex for mid launch, the RIP Gamma has the same launch characteristics as the original Alpha with a higher balance point for use with heavier heads to achieve a conventional swing weight.
The RIP'd NV incorporates the best performance attributes from two of Aldila's most innovative shaft designs -- the 'perfect feel' and slim, stable shaft profile of the Aldila NV® and the unprecedented control and accuracy of the Aldila RIP®. The Aldila NV, featuring Micro Laminate technology (MLT®), is the most popular aftermarket shaft in history.
The RIP Phenom incorporates RIP Technology™ with a unique composite construction to create a new and innovative shaft flex profile for maximum distance and control – the Hyperbolic Flex Zone™. RIP Technology repositions the materials and patterns to optimize the performance characteristics of the shaft. The Phenom's Hyperbolic Flex Zone provides a stiff tip section for optimal launch and spin control, with a very firm butt section for an incredibly stable feel. The center section of the shaft is softer to provide outstanding kick through impact to maximize ball speed.
Aldila catapults power to an unprecedented level. High performance technology harnessed and perfected from a special blend of materials, design and expertise. They are continually on the leading edge of the golf world through their relentless pursuit of the next best innovation. They do the experimenting so you don't have to. Pushing success to the edge and redefining how power should feel. Are you playing Aldila, or just graphite?

What are the belt colors of Tae Kwon Do in order? Also could you add the degrees, I have had a hard time finding a reliable site?
Smartass Answer
Serious Answer
Depends on the school/association. Some have over 10 colored belts before you even get to first degree black. Some have much fewer. An example:
The fewer belts the school has, the more time you can expect to spend on each one. For example, if one school has 10 colored belts, you will probably move through two belts in the same time that it would take you to move through one belt in a school that only has 6 or 7 colored belts.
You could conceivably narrow down the answer to your question if you would specify which association you're talking about. ITF, ATA, WTF, will each have their own list of belts. Then again, if you knew that, you could just look it up on each respective organization's official website...
Additionally, some individual instructors, whether they are affiliated with an association or not, may have their own belt list. So there's really no way of answering your question definitively. Best thing to do is to find a school you're thinking of joining and ask them what their belts are.
The most important thing I can tell you is this: if you see a camouflage belt anywhere in the school, you are in a McDojang. WALK AWAY!
In ITF Taekwon-do, the coloured belts are numbered from 10th kup (also gup) to 1st kup. Black belt grades are numbered from 1st degree (also dan) to 9th degree.
In the organisation I'm a member of (P.U.M.A, in the UK), the colours used are:
The stripes are also called tags in some schools or organisations; historically, our stripes were insulating tape wrapped round the end of the belt! Now, though, striped belts have the lower colour as the background with the higher colour forming a band along the length of the belt (that is, a 9th kup belt round the waist of a student would have 3 parallel lines of white - yellow - white from top to bottom).
Our degree/dan grades use roman numerals to identify a black belt's grade (I, II, III, IV, V, VI, VII, VII, IX). Grades above 4th degree have vertical black stripes on the arms and legs of their dobok and masters (above 7th degree) have badges on their shoulders.
This page on Wikipedia has a good explanation of the ranks I'm used to!
I can't comment as I don't have 50 reputation yet, but unfortunately coltonon is incorrect. He says "eight official color belt ranks registered by the kukkiwon and the wtf" and that those ranks are certified and recognised worldwide.
The Kukkiwon doesn't care about colour belt ranks and doesn't certify them. There is no system in place to get the certificates from them or register promotions with them for coloured belts. There is no Kukkiwon defined syllabus in place for coloured belt tests, nor any rules/regulations relating to them (except for the requirement that they are given by a Kukkiwon 4th dan or above)
The WTF doesn't care about ANY ranks, it is purely a sport organisation. For all matters relating to rank it delegates these to the Kukkiwon.
So any kup ranks may or may not be accepted in 164 countries, but it's at the instructor's discretion and not Kukkiwon or WTF certified/registered.
Source: Taekwondo 5th Dan Kukkiwon, my school is a Kukkiwon Member, I'm a regular member of the 2012 and 2013 World Taekwondo Leaders Forum and I'm a Kukkiwon-certified Master Instructor with Citation. All certificates are on my website.
Simple answer: the gup.
So what the h&$@ is a gup? It's a taekwondo rank. There's gups and dans. My school has 8 gups. That is, eight official color belt ranks registered by the kukiwon and the wtf ( world taekwondo federation). We have other ranks, but only 8 are certified and recognized by 164 countries worldwide.
Gups go in opposite order. For example, an eighth gup is a hin tdi, or white belt. A 7th gup is a norang tdi, or yellow belt. This goes up to red belt, aka bbalgong tdi, or first gup. Once you hit black belt, it goes up. For example, a 1st Dan is the lowest rank of black belt, where 10th Dan is the highest. A fourth degree black belt aka fourth Dan is called a master. A sixth degree is a grandmaster, and an ninth degree is a great-grandmaster. Hope this helps.
Source- myself, a taekwondo 1st dan, trained for four years.
Here are the colors that I went through when I was training with Lee's TKD Federation, who follows WTF rules and regulations:
White, Orange, Yellow, Green, Blue, Purple, Purple with white stripe along the top and bottom, Brown, Red, Black (unless the person was under 16, which is then poom, black belt with red along the top and bottom). From there it's gold stripes on the ends for each additional Dan rank, capping off at a 10th Dan. Grand Master Lee was going for his 8th Dan when I had to leave due to personal circumstances
My school uses:
The Belt order at my school is: White, Yellow, Yellow-green, Green, Green-blue, Blue, Blue-red, Red, Red-black, and Black
