Susan D. Flynn
Master gardener, had career in banking
Susan was born in Bridgeport on Aug. 9, 1951. She grew up in Trumbull and attended Saint Joseph's High School. She received a bachelor's degree in political science from Southern Connecticut State College in 1973. Susan had a successful business career in commercial banking with Connecticut Bank & Trust and Connecticut Community Bank.
She was an enthusiastic and dedicated volunteer, active in a number of community service organizations. One of her passions was the Shippan Point Garden Club, where she served in various leadership roles. She loved gardening and earned a master gardener certification from the University of Connecticut program through the Bartlett Arboretum. She was a longtime parishioner of Our Lady Star of the Sea Church in Stamford.
Susan was widely admired as a kind, compassionate and reliable friend who always unselfishly put the concerns of others above her own. Her vibrant and charming personality endeared her to many people and her graciousness, friendship, and loving ways will be sadly missed.
She was an extraordinary mother, a gifted parent and a loving and devoted wife.
She is survived by her husband, Frederick C. Flynn Jr.; her children, Katherine E. Flynn and Matthew M. Flynn; her siblings, Adrienne Caruso of Bridgewater, Michael DelVecchio III of Killingworth, and Peter DelVecchio of Easton. Also surviving are her nieces and nephews who all loved her very much. She was predeceased by her parents, Michael DelVecchio and Josephine DelVecchio.
Family will receive relatives and friends from 5 to 8 p.m. on Sunday, May 12, 2013, at the Bosak Funeral Home, 453 Shippan Ave., Stamford. A Mass of Christian Burial will be held at 10:30 a.m. on Monday, May 13, at Our Lady Star of the Sea Church, 1200 Shippan Ave., Stamford. Interment will be private.
The family requests that, in lieu of flowers, contributions be made in Susan's memory to the Shippan Point Garden Club, 97 Ocean Drive West, Stamford, CT 06902; or the Palliative Care Department of Greenwich Hospital, c/o Greenwich Hospital, Greenwich Hospital Foundation Office, 35 River Road, Cos Cob, CT 06087.

text: Now that I got that blade out of the way, it's time for me to upload another Dragon Ball Z character in chibi form. So far, I drew chibi Cell, chibi Eminem, and some other figures from pop culture that we know and love. Today I will be teaching you "how to draw chibi Frieza", step by step. As you know Frieza is a very important, and recurring character from the Dragon Ball series that can be watched on NickToons. As you can see the chibi form of Frieza is going to be a whole lot easier to draw than the regular full figured image of him. This is because there is hardly any muscle detailing or definition, the size alone is going to slash a bunch of time off the top if the drawing process, and the body parts are going to be easier to make. I myself had a blast drawing out this chibi version of one of the most popular characters from DBZ. I hope you too have fun learning "how to draw chibi Frieza", and I can almost guarantee that you will have a blast especially if you are a big DBZ nut! Adios people, and have an awesome drawing day!

The surroundings were familiar. Yes, it was indeed another swanky awards do *yawn*, just pass us the gongs and we'll be on our way, I suppose. Except this time, things didn't pan out quite as you may imagine...
On the evening in question, we were attending the Food & Travel Magazine 2013 Reader Awards Gala Dinner at The Savoy. We had been nominated for the Specialist Retailer of the Year award. Very nice indeed. It was surely in the bag, I mean, they wouldn't have invited us to the dinner if it wasn't in the bag… right?
[I should probably point out at this stage that we are only joking! We're obviously flattered to have been nominated by such a prestigious publication.]

I'm completely puzzled about a problem with a single plain text file in my system fedora 12. I used a known software in bioinformatics, maker, to produce lots of plain text files and one of them it seems to be "inaccessible".
Particularly, my file named
Clon1918K_PCC1.gff is listed when I use
ls, ls -a, ls -li ... commands but when I try to access it by
cat, vim, cp, ls etc it appears always the same error
Clon1918K_PCC1.gff: No such file or directory.
However, when I copy all the files with
cp *.gff or
cp * this file it's also copied.
Also I tried to open it with nautilus without problem and in one of two cases when I copied the content to another file with the same name the problem disappears. Interestingly in this case the strange file is not rewritten and 2 files with exactly the same name appear, one of them accessible and another inaccessible. I looked for hidden characters but all seems ok.
Someone has any idea about this strange case?? Thanks!

being my second Adv Cycling map I used, I can compare it to my other (Great Divide).. a few items were confusing, and at one spot it called for a left, when in fact it was a right turn.
Bar Harbor is located on Mount Desert Island near Acadia National Park. On Mount Desert Island, you'll find some rugged hills and a considerable amount of recreational traffic in the summer months and during the fall color season. West of Freeport, the route heads inland on somewhat hilly, less-trafficked roads to avoid Portland, Maine, before looping back to the coast at Kennebunk. The route follows very quiet rural county roads from Exeter to the outskirts of Nashua, though traffic increases in and near towns. The 29-mile Boston Spur begins in Littleton, and provides access to the city center on a combination of busy thoroughfares and a the Minuteman Bikeway. The terrain of southern Massachusetts, Rhode Island, and northern Connecticut is hillier. The majority of the route in Connecticut is quiet rural county roads except of the section into Windsor Locks, which has typical urban congestion. Click on enlargement for detail.

I just got back from my trip. I didn't use the maps in their entirety, but it was one of the major resources for my trip from Portsmouth NH to Bar Harbor ME. All of the roads it recommended were good, though it was a little highway-heavy in places (MP3 player is recommended to drown out highway noise). Especially handy was the listing of bike shops along the route! I needed a couple, so that was vital information to have. So, even if you're not following the route exactly, it's well worth the investment for the information, and to have a handy contingency plan mapped out.

It was great to be back in my home state of Massachusetts for the spring, and to ride through one gorgeous old town center after another. Unlike other maps on the Atlantic Coast route, however, this one had an extended stretch of perhaps 30 miles after you cross into MA on a very busy road with lots of tractor trailer traffic. The rest of the route was fabulous as are all other Adventure Cycling maps I've used, but I'd love to see that one section re-routed on safer, less busy roads.

So what's everybody think?
I'm always skeptical of a remake or a sequel of course, especially when the original (well, the original remake) is so perfect. John Carpenter's The Thing is already so solid, I don't think anything will be able to compare. It'll be a nice little test to see Carpenter's practical effects holding up against what will likely inevitably be CGI in the new version, and I bet the original will still look better.
I do like the nods to the original The Thing From Another World, with the creature being transported in a block of ice, so it shows some respect to the source material.
I do fear that this prequel will have too much high-tech modern gadgetry that it will make for awkward comparison against Carpenter's version's then-modern tech (the chess computer?), or does the title (The Thing again??) suggest that this is a straight remake, or a continuation of the "reboot" trend?
Oh well, I'd be a hypocrite if I praised Carpenter's remake, then suggested that all remakes suck, so I'll have to keep an open mind here.

A convertible bond denominated in USD is issued by an Indian company (with equity traded in INR). The bond will be repaid in USD and if converted into equity in the company, the conversion price will be based on a pre-determined fixed USD/INR rate. When valuing the option embedded in the bond, should we use the USD risk-free rate or INR risk-free rate?
Which risk-free rate to use to price a bond issued in one currency but convertible into equity in another?
Use the USD rate. The actual tricky bit is in the volatility. Normally for a cross currency bond you would use the volatility of the foreign shares as denominated in US currency. However, the fixed FX rate in this case means that the correct volatility to use is the volatility in INR.
The answer is, that it does not matter. Choose one currency as the numeraire, and stick to it. This is because of the foreign exchange interest rate carry arbitrage relationship.
If that relationship doesn't hold, skip the bond and lock-in the arbitrage on the interest rate differential embedded in the USD/INR exchange rate.

Get down and dirty in the garden

Kathy Amen would like to thank her dear friend Kari Loth for giving her a subscription to The Herb Companion magazine.
Over the year's my friends and I have collected several different varieties of seeds, but I had never actually started them in time for spring. This year, I was determined to see what I could do with ALL THESE SEEDS!! So I decided to start all my herbs and flowers early indoors with the help of homemade terrariums. The first terrarium I made was with various "terrarium materials:" a plastic chicken rotisserie container from the local market, cardboard rolls cut in half, moistened soil and seeds. Once this was successful, I tried using old CD containers. I was really surprised with how well the cardboard rolls held together, keeping the soil quite snug. Once the seedlings sprout, just unwind the cardboard as you would unwind a roll of biscuits. You'll be surprised how firm the soil still is—it's ready for transplanting. Since it is still early, I then transplanted into larger Jiffy Peat Pot's. Soon I was creating several terrariums and began to run out of window sills for the best possible light. Then, I discovered that my old antique ironing boards worked out perfectly. I set them behind my love seat to create a shelf for terrariums and transplanted seedlings. It gets the best lighting in the house!

I didn't realize that starting seeds could be so much FUN and make great gifts, too!

Yesterday i installed Ubuntu 11.10 on my desktop computer, and the wireless connection is so slow that it takes 3 minutes to load google.com. With my Ubuntu netbook also running 11.10 i do not have that problem.
Please help me
Unfortunately, there really is not enough information to know what is happening here. Would be nice to know what the latency to and from the wireless router is, and then what the latency between your browser and perhaps yahoo.com or google.com, then try to determine what the hardware is within the desktop that is providing the wireless connection.
Hard to say it is a wireless driver without knowing much more information about the issue. Here is what I would do in order to diagnose in order of likely ease and best return of resolution to you:
1) Check your browser's settings in the desktop computer for any proxy connections (not likely if newly setup though)
2) Check to see if your computer's connection to your Wireless Access Point is solid and low-latency:
where $xxx.xxx.xxx.xxx represents the IP Address of the wireless access point or router. You will probably only need to gather about 5 to 10 packets and then interrupt the ping command with a simple CTRL+C:
In this example the IP Address is a standard home Wireless Router default administrative IP address and the ping results are as shown. The round trip time is no an issue there.
3) Next, ping google.com or yahoo.com or some other site for the same results. Do not rely solely on one site as you may have a problem with a local content server from a content mirroring service. Even the largest providers in the world have occasional issues with their content services, it happens.
The results here are a bit misleading, simply because the last packet was lost because of the interruption of the ping command, but the connection is stable and normal.
4) If you are seeing something different at this point, then you should probably verify that your desktop has the proper drivers for your wireless card. Try this command to gather information about your card:
This should provide a full list of your devices, including the wireless device.
5) Next, go to System Settings, Additional Hardware and then allow the system to search for additional drivers. If any additional drivers are required for the Wireless card, install them.
6) Restart the system as required to allow the newly installed driver (if any) to take effect.
HTH. Have a nice day.
This is probably caused by incorrect wifi drivers. You should install drivers for your wireless card. You could try going to System settings -> Additional Drivers, and see if there are any proprietary drivers to install.

The nose and mouth of the baby are suctioned to clear the baby of all secretions and to aid in its first breathing efforts. The baby should begin crying within the first 30 seconds to one minute of life. To accomplish this, gentle stimulation is usually required and accomplished by rubbing the baby's back or gently stimulating its feet.
Dangling Babies
Some of you may be familiar with old movies or books that described or depicted the delivering physician as holding up the baby by its feet in mid air and spanking the baby's bottom (translation: bare butt) in order to get the baby to cry. This procedure is no longer done because it isn't necessary. According to Dr. John, it was an accepted practice because doctors simply didn't know any better, and they went overboard a tad. Today's doctors know that aggressive stimulation isn't necessary, and it could potentially harm the baby. For example, the baby could be dropped or hit too hard in a vulnerable spot that might injure it.
The Neonatal Team Takes Over
Usually, when the delivery is approaching, the patient's nurse will call for additional personnel to manage the baby's transition. These individuals are referred to as NRPs (neonatal resuscitative providers). They may be doctors, nurses, or medical assistants, but all of them have special training in the initial evaluation of and resuscitation of newborns.
And the Ranking Is...Enter the Apgar Score
The baby's attendants will begin their initial evaluation at one and five minutes after birth, using the Apgar scoring system. The intent of the Apgar score is to provide a quick evaluation of a newborn and determine if additional measures of resuscitation are necessary.
Apgar scores range from zero to 10. In general, a low Apgar identifies those babies who may require extra attention and care. The five-minute Apgar score is generally used to evaluate how effective any resuscitative efforts were.
The Apgar table is comprised of five areas in which the baby will receive a score. These areas include the baby's heart rate, muscle tone, respiratory effort, reflexive response to stimulation, and the baby's color.
The APGAR Scoring System
|Heart Rate
|< 100 per minute
|> 100 per minute
|Respiratory Effort
|Weak, Irregular, Gasping
|No Response
|Some Response
|Facial Grimace, Sneeze, Cough
|Muscle Tone
|Some Flexion
|Good Flexion of Arms and Legs
|Blue, Pale
|Body Pink, Hands and Feet Blue
A value of 0, 1, or 2 is assigned to each category, and this gives the baby its overall score out of 10. Generally, Apgar scores in the range of 7-10 suggest that the baby doesn't require additional resuscitative efforts; however, a score between 4-7 is considered an indicator that the baby may be mildly to moderately compromised (needing attention). In those babies with a score less than 4, the rating usually indicates that the baby might need oxygen and additional attention from the medical staff. (According to Dr. John, medical people joke around and say that no babies ever get a perfect 10, unless they are a pediatrician's baby.)
My Perfect "10"
The birth of my third child (and first daughter) was something of a fiasco of my own making. I was at a teaching hospital, but didn't realize what that meant when they asked me if I'd mind having a "few" nurses observe the delivery. When they wheeled me into an amphitheater-type room, it was too late to protest. OK, 15 nurses (some male I'd forgotten there was such a thing as male nurses) gathered round to watch under spotlights. So much for intimate, personal deliveries with the lights dimmed. If I hadn't been so preoccupied having a baby, I would have been mortified.
The only good part was that they clapped when I delivered, and my daughter was a perfect "10" on the Apgar scale at 1 minute and at 5 minutes. (I think it had something to do with the movie "10" being popular several years earlier.) In retrospect, it was the only way for my drama-queen daughter to make her appearance onto the stage of life.
The Nursery
If the baby is doing well and is considered stable, then it can spend a short time with its mother before proceeding to the nursery. At the nursery the baby will be cleaned more thoroughly, as well as evaluated once again.
Immediately after the baby is born, it becomes the patient of another doctor (not your OB, but one who is expert in the care of newborns). The general evaluation of a normal newborn includes the observation of the baby's transition from intrauterine to extra uterine life. The neonatal teams will be establishing feeding habits of either the breast or the bottle, watching for normal patterns of urination and bowel movements, and keeping an overall surveillance of the baby for any problems. Concerning signs might include a change in the baby's activity rate, a refusal to eat, temperature changes, skin color changes, jaundice, a rapid respiratory rate, or vomiting. The neonatal team will also be giving vaccinations if necessary and doing mandatory state screening tests on the infant.
What Is Jaundice?
The most common difficulty in newborns is jaundice (yellow-looking skin), and in most cases it will disappear in two weeks or less without any special treatment. For most full-term babies, jaundice should not last longer than one week.
Jaundice occurs when excess bilirubin is released into the baby's circulation, caused by the destruction of circulating red blood cells. Jaundice may be attributed to physiological causes (immaturity of the baby's liver), prematurity, breast milk (occuring in one to two percent of breastfed babies), blood group incompatibility (Rh or ABO problems), or hepatitis (rare).
If a doctor does a blood test and decides to treat the baby, the baby will be placed under special lights (also known as phototherapy). If jaundice is prolonged or associated with other metabolic abnormalities, additional measures may be necessary.
A small percentage of babies who are breast-fed can develop breast milk jaundice. The cause of this is not entirely clear, but it's thought to be related to the composition of the mother's milk. It's normal for breast-fed babies to have higher bilirubin levels than formula-fed babies; however, the mother should continue to breast-feed.
The nursery will weigh the baby for the first time. Contrary to popular belief, the baby is not weighed right after delivery for a couple of reasons. First, there is no baby scale in the delivery room. Second, the neonatal providers have more important responsibilities when taking care of the baby than determining its weight. Although the weight is important and the most common question that parents ask, the baby will be weighed and measured later at the nursery's convenience.
The baby will be wrapped snugly in a baby blanket and placed under the warmer whenever it's not with the mother. The mother provides warmth to the baby by holding it close and transferring her own heat to it. When the mother is not holding the baby, she's asked to keep the baby wrapped in a blanket to aid in heat preservation. When the baby is cold, extra energy is expended to maintain its core temperature, and this can add stress to the baby if it occurs for a prolonged period of time.
If the baby is showing any signs of distress, which could be caused by an infection or a metabolic disorder, the baby may undergo blood tests. Amazingly, there are tiny blood pressure cuffs that can be placed around the baby's arms or legs to measure blood pressure. If necessary, intravenous lines may be placed in the baby so that it can receive extra fluids and medicines. However, most babies don't require these measures or anything much beyond the initial evaluation. The more reassuring and healthy the baby appears to the nursery staff, the sooner the baby will be returned to the mother for bonding.
If the mother desires, she can begin breast-feeding shortly after the birth, but the baby may be tired and want to sleep for several hours before its first feeding. And it goes without saying that the mother may be tired as well.
Shortly after the baby's birth, the hospital will notify your pediatrician, and he or she will visit the hospital to check on the baby's status. At that time, the pediatrician will probably perform some of his or her own tests. The nursery will also give the baby a series of immunizations, one of which is the hepatitis vaccine.
Spotting Jaundice in Your Baby
Jaundice usually begins around the second to third day of life. The baby's face will appear yellow first and then the color will spread to its chest and legs. The whites of the eyes can also be yellow.
To test for jaundice, press your fingertip on the tip of your child's nose or forehead. If the skin shows white (works for all races), then there is no jaundice. If the skin is yellow or slightly yellow, contact your pediatrician immediately. Because many babies are released from the hospital before the baby develops jaundice, it is up to the parents to spot it. Remember: jaundice can be dangerous to the baby, possibly causing deafness, cerebral palsy, brain damage, or even indicating the presence of hepatitis.
Screening Tests for Newborns
Each newborn baby gets its heel pricked for a blood test, but the specific tests that blood gets screened for depends on the state where you live.
There are several rare conditions that can be picked up in a screening and save lives (for example, some genetic diseases and immune disorders). Find out what your state screens for and make the decision yourself whether or not you want to pay for additional screening if it's not offered. Usually, you can order a test from a private laboratory that may be fairly inexpensive (it may cost as little as an extra $25), and that test can give you peace of mind if it is negative, or save a life if it is positive.
The Absolute Minimum
Finally, finally, finally, you have a baby! Rest up while you're still in the hospital and enjoy that wonderful new being in your life. But that new infant brings with it a new set of mind-boggling responsibilities. You will immediately be thrust into parenthood, and it starts right now.

5 Insignificant Things That Determine Who You Have Sex With
#2. Whether You Approach Them or They Approach You
When you see an attractive person in a bar, chances are you will start working up the courage to go over and say hello. You want to seem assertive and sure of yourself, after all, and people admire that sort of thing, right?
Not so fast. Who walks up to whom in a bar or club could be the deciding factor in getting those phone digits. It turns out the best chance you have of getting that special someone interested in you may be if you can somehow get them to be the one to approach you.
That should do it.
Science Says:
Don't mix up what we're saying here -- it sounds stupidly obvious to say, "The one doing the approaching tends to be the one who finds the other more attractive." Well, duh. That's why they approached them. Right?
That's not the point; the point is that if we put a gun to your head and made you approach a completely random guy or girl, the act of approaching will make you find that person more attractive.
The obvious conclusion? Guns make everything sexy.
According to experiments, anyway. The researchers set up a "speed dating" situation where pairs would be randomly matched. When women were the ones who remained seated, they were pickier about the men they found attractive. But when the positions were reversed, they became 2 percent more likely to say yes to a potential date. Men showed an even more drastic difference, with those approaching the seated women 7 percent less likely to say they were attracted to her.
"I see you can bend your body at a 90-degree angle for relaxation ... I like that."
It also brought the number of men and women who said yes to a potential partner almost exactly even, indicating that women's perceived "pickiness" when it comes to men may just be the fact that it has always been more socially acceptable for men to approach them first.
Or, it could be that when you walk toward something, your brain just assumes you want the thing. Maybe because it figures it saves the effort of going and finding something else.
"At this point it's either decades of intimacy or turning slightly to the left."
#1. Your Level of Facial Scarring
Let's say you're a not just a man, but a real man. We here at Cracked know what that's like. You've lived a hard life out on the streets. Every day is a struggle to survive, filled with knife fights and dancing.
We understand your struggles, man. Sometimes 4/4 time is hard.
Maybe you got cut during one of these beautifully choreographed West Side Story-type numbers and are worried that your sex life (and film career) is over. Don't despair: Women find men with facial scars extremely attractive.
Unfortunately, if you are looking for "the one," women are more likely to see scarred men as dangerous seekers of adventure (i.e., short-term sex partners) than as mates with whom to settle down.
"Yeah, this was a mountain lion. He tripped me up and I fell onto the TV stand."
And if you're a woman and you're thinking that it's the same opposite effect as the other items on this list, because no man could love a scarred woman, well, it turns out it really doesn't matter either way.
Science Says:
At least one study found that women actually rate men with "post-traumatic scarring" more attractive than men with no scars. Once again, we owe this to evolution. A man with facial scars is seen as a survivor of difficult fights, possibly with a saber tooth tiger. This in turn means his children would be more likely to survive if they ever had a run-in with some large, deadly animal.
"I may die from trauma any minute, but yes. Sex."
Women's interest in these men was purely short-term, though, indicating once again that women like manly men (read: the asshole who will start bar fights and end up with scars all over his stupid, manly face) for sexual flings, while they gravitate to more "feminine" men for long-term relationships and the care of their children.
Strangely, the study did not find a preference for or against women with facial scars, possibly indicating once again that men aren't that picky. Who cares if she has been in a few knife fights, as long as there's the chance she'll still sleep with you?
"Hey, doll, is that a knife or ... it's a knife. Right. My wallet's in my coat."

Funding Opportunities
The Office of Academic Affairs is dedicated to commercializing university technologies - one of the biggest challenges to that mission is funding. To proactively combat the constant obstacle, the office has formulated different funding programs for faculty, students and innovations in all stages of the discovery process.
Financial investments are important along the entire commercialization pathway. Investments from internal and external sources are necessary for basic research, proof-of-concept, and to launch start-up companies created around our new innovations.
Funding Programs
The Research Board provides initial research funding for faculty to do applied research in their specific area of work to leverage funds and enhance long-term quality and quantity of scholarship.
The FastTrack program provides proof-of-concept or gap-funding for faculty members focused on development, testing, prototype construction, or market analysis of innovating technologies emerging from a UM campus.
The Interdisciplinary Intercampus program was initiated to increase interdisciplinary, intercampus research collaborations to leverage the intellectual capital and resources at the four University of Missouri campuses.
The Spinal Cord Injury Program provides research support for investigators at public or private educational, healthcare, or research institutions in Missouri to perform exploratory studies regarding spinal cord injury, as well as acquired or congenital disease processes that affect the spinal cord.
If you have any questions relating to these funding opportunities please contact the Office of Academic Affairs.

Checking if running in PhoneGap or Mobile Web Browser
How do I check if the app is running in PhoneGap (or as native app) vs Mobile web browser (i.e. Safari)?
For example in this pseudocode
if (runningNatively) { enable camera-related UI } else { disable camera-related UI }
The reason I am asking is because I have a ST web app working and it's in production. I used the same code to build a sample iPhone app, but now I need to add native device functions, such as camera and push notification.
I am debating whether I should use the same code base (modify one copy), but add checks at certain points in the app to integrate native phone functions, or should I make a copy, and maintain two separate code bases (Web app vs Native app).
[EDIT] I guess I could always hardcode a global constant in index.html, then I maintain two index.html but one app.js. Still I'd like to know what others think.
23 Aug 2011 7:31 AM #2
I'm also interested.http://www.dev4.life - Software Development Blog

Currently, I'm writing a paper in Microsoft Word 2007. I use Endnote to organise my references and bibliography and hold electronic copies of papers I've found where possible. I have stacks of books by my desk and a fairly disorganised (physical) folder of papers. I currently use Diigo (in conjunction with the bookmarklet for Chrome) to store, highlight, annotate and tag online articles of interest.
I am partly interested to know if there is a system out there that combines all these things but I'm guessing that's more of a question for the SuperUser Exchange. Ideally, I would like to write in a tool like Google Docs/Drive so that I have a revision history of what I've written but I think I will have to move everything to Microsoft Word for submission eventually anyway.
What I really want to know is if there exists a productivity method for rationalising the bookmarking and citation side of things. I've heard Zotero and Mendeley are both services to explore and I've started using Evernote to store ideas on the go but without some kind of framework I fear I'm at a loss as to decide which tool is the best fit. I'm interested generally in what services people use for recording ideas (their own or others') when writing or doing research, how they find these affect their productivity, and how they link these services up with a method to facilitate a better articulation and presentation of ideas. As someone fairly new to the idea of productivity methods, do they affect which tools one decides to use?
If anyone knows of a way to link up the services I have or move easily to a more efficient system, I'd welcome those kinds of suggestions too.

Columbia Law School Professor Edward R. Morrison recently co-wrote a proposal that aims to stem foreclosures through loan modifications.
The plan specifically addresses privately securitized mortgages, which account for more than 50 percent of foreclosures. Research shows that when these mortgages become delinquent, servicers of securitized mortgages opt for foreclosure over mortgage modification much more often than private lenders who service their own mortgages.
The solution, according to Morrison and his co-authors, is to facilitate modification, instead of foreclosure, by compensating servicers who modify mortgages and by removing legal constraints that inhibit modification.
By the authors' estimates, the plan would prevent nearly 1 million foreclosures over three years, at a cost of no more than $10.7 billion.

PHOTOS: Broadway Bares a Winter Burlesque
Broadway Bares turned New York City's XL Nightclub into a steamy wonderland on January 27, as Winter Burlesque heated up the stage for two standing-room-only performances. The official kickoff of the 2013 Broadway Bares season, Winter Burlesque raised an impressive $35,428 for Broadway Cares.
Winter Burlesque included some of Broadway Bares's most memorable numbers and featured a cast of 25 sizzling dancers who strutted and stripped to raise money for those battling AIDS and other life-threatening illnesses.
Bringing heat to a cold wintry night, the show began with Broadway veteran Angie Schworer taking the stage as a naughty master of ceremonies, leading a bevy of buxom beauties in the original Broadway Bares number "Burlesque Is Back," which was first staged by Bares executive producer Jerry Mitchell and written by Andrew Lippa for Broadway Bares XIII.
See Photos From the Performances on the Following Pages.
Steven Wenslawski then bounded onto the stage to Elvis Presley's "A Little Less Conversation," flanked by a sextet of strapping men who were bedazzled in little more than golden briefs. With help from his castmates, Wenslawski stripped off his Elvis-inspired jumpsuit to ultimately reveal nothing but a sly smile and a strategically placed hand.
In "By the Sea," six sexy men dressed in turn-of-the-century bathing costumes frolicked on the beach until a torrential downpour put a damper on their fun. But the boys quickly found other ways to amuse themselves, stripping out of their suits and coyly drying themselves with beach towels before disappearing into the sand dunes.
Broadway's Adam Fleming transformed into a modern-day Humpty Dumpty, the famous falling egg, and relied on a gaggle of squawking chicks to help him crack out of his shell – and down to a sexy thong – in a humorous, hip-hop striptease to Digital Underground's "The Humpty Dance."
As a high-powered banker, Matthew Steffens bumped-and-grinded his way down the runway, "paying" his fellow dancers to strip him down, losing his golden three-piece suit until he was left with nothing more than a cleverly concealed stimulus package.
Justin Smith sheepishly arrived as a hunky milkman delivering his goods to some randy farm hands in "A Big Man." Inspired by an infamous Broadway Bares V showstopper, this delivery turned into an all-hands-on-deck bath as the entire male ensemble washed down Smith's rippling abs with milk.
More intimate numbers included choreographer and dancer Stephan Choiniere partnering with Daria Chamanskaia for an intoxicating, athletic, and gravity-defying "Spellbound." Fire Island Dance Festival favorite George Smallwood reprised a mystical solo, "Talk to the Hand," originally created for Broadway Bares: Solo Strips. And Jamal Story and Christopher Jackson performed an explosive pas de deux about a tension-filled sexual relationship, choreographed by The Lion King's Ray Mercer.
International recording artist Matt Zarley, who won prizes for best single and best album at last year's Out Music Awards, lead the company in a thrilling finale. Zarley sang "Trust Me," a Billboard and U.K. dance hit from his most recent, critically acclaimed album, "Change Begins With Me."
Following both performances, Broadway Bares favorite Jen Cody led the company in "rotation," where the performers freestyle-danced for individual donations.
Broadway Bares: Winter Burlesque was first presented as Beach Burlesque last June on Fire Island. Broadway Bares executive producer and creator Jerry Mitchell curated the show with Broadway Cares producing director Michael Graziano, selecting from 22 years of Broadway Bares favorites. Michael Lee Scott directed both versions of the show.
Winter Burlesque officially kicked off the 2013 Broadway Bares season, with four other tantalizing events still to come. Broadway Bares: Las Vegas hits Sin City April 20. Broadway Bares: Solo Strips will return to XL Nightclub May 5. Broadway Bares: Fire Island will land in the Pines June 1. And the grand finale, Broadway Bares 23, will take over Roseland Ballroom for two spectacular performances June 23.

Indian-American Sunita Williams, an astronaut who lived and worked aboard the International Space Station for record setting six months in 2006, is again headed to the space in July.
According to sources in NASA, Williams is scheduled to take off on July 14 from the Baikonur Cosmodrome in Kazakhstan with Flight Engineers Yuri Malenchenko of the Russian Federal Space Agency and Akihiko Hoshide of the Japan Aerospace Exploration Agency.
46-year-old Williams will be a flight engineer on the station's Expedition 32 with Flight Engineers Yuri Malenchenko of the Russian Federal Space Agency and Akihiko Hoshide of the Japan Aerospace Exploration Agency. On reaching the space station she will take over as commander of Expedition 33.
Williams and her colleagues will be aboard the station during an exceptionally busy period that includes two spacewalks, the arrival of Japanese, US commercial and Russian resupply vehicles, and an increasingly faster pace of scientific research, the US space agency said.
In the space, Sunita Williams and her team of astronauts plan an orbital sporting event to mark the Summer Olympics in London.
Williams is the second woman of Indian origin to have been selected by NASA for a space mission after Kalpana Chawla and the second astronaut of Slovenian origin after Ronald M. Sega.
She holds three records for female space travellers: longest spaceflight (195 days), number of spacewalks (four), and total time spent on spacewalks (29 hours and 17 minutes).
A 1987 graduate of the US Naval Academy, Williams served in various roles as a Navy officer before being selected as an astronaut candidate by NASA in 1998. She received a master's degree from the Florida Institute of Technology in 1995.
"I'm just looking forward to seeing the full capability of the space station, it's an experiment, not only the things that we're doing inside but also all the engineering that has gone into allowing us to dock new vehicles, do space walks, Russian and US. So, it's a pretty complicated vehicle now and I'm looking forward to being part of it," Williams said.
"Sprint' is an experiment that's trying to optimize our exercise protocol on board and trying to understand if intense exercise will take the place of long exercise. And 'ICV' is 'integrated cardio-vascular'. It's a pretty complicated experiment, and from the name you can understand it's trying to understand what is happening with your heart on board," she said at a news conference.

Unanswered: Is it possible to create sencha chart in loop?
Hi I have to create n number of charts.
Can I do like below?
var data = Ext.decode(response.responseText); var count = data.data.length; for (var i=0;i<count;i++) { rec = data.data[i]; myGaugeChart = getGaugeChart(rec.Value, rec.Name, rec.Nr); GaugePanel.add(myGaugeChart); }
but only the first one is getting display.
Rest of the chart, the id and canvas is there but no chart.
Is this way of preparing chart is correct?
If yes, then what extra I need to do in order to render my chart correctly on the screen?

From what I can see, the database design is similar.
One is the consumables that are resident in a warehouse (inventory). The others are items, capital, that are assigned to people or places, but are not consumable (assets).
For database design, does that sound like the right track to start down?

I am designing my first e commerce site with wp e-commerce. My problem is, that I installed the simple shipping plugin, ind I set on fix rate shipping. After the I go to the front end, and buy something, click on the purhchase, and i see my cart, with the details. I can see the two options i set for fix rate. But the problem is that above the shipping options there is a sentence that wouldnt be there: "Please choose a country below to calculate your shipping costs". But I set fixed rate shipping so this sign wouldnt be there. How can i delete it?
Thank you very much

We have a asp.net 2.0 web application that is running on IIS7. It is using web gardens and asp.net state server.
On the page, there are many user controls. On one of the user controls, we have added logging on the button_click event that writes a line in the log whenever that method runs. When we click the button, it only periodically displays the log entry – indicating that the event does not always fire when the button is clicked. We added the logging because we suspected that the button click method was not always running when we clicked the button. The evidence we are seeing seems to confirm our suspicions.
When we remove the web garden and put the site back to a single application pool, the application returns to normal - the button event fires every time. When we run the application on local developer machines, it also works normally.
Has anyone else seen behavior like this? Are there any recommendations on next steps we could take to narrow down the problem?
EDIT: here is the source of the event as requested:
protected void btnSearch_Click(object sender, EventArgs e)
SearchArgs args = CtrlToSearchArgs();
SessionManager.SearchQueryString = Request.QueryString;
string url = NavigationManager.BuildSearchUrl(args, null, "*** page url removed here ***");
if (args.PageSize.HasValue)
SessionManager.SetInSession(SessionManager.Key.SEARCH_PAGESIZE, args.PageSize.Value.ToString());
SessionManager.SetInSession(SessionManager.Key.SEARCH_PAGESIZE, "10");
SessionManager.SearchPanelData = url;
//Set the new args into the session
SessionManager.SearchControlArgs = args;
EDIT # 2: Clarification - this set up is not using multiple servers and is not under a load balancer. We are using multiple AppPools on a single server.

Rare Diseases with FDA-Approved Medical Products
The Food and Drug Administration has charged the Office of Orphan Products Development (OOPD) to dedicate its mission to promoting the development of products that demonstrate promise for the diagnosis and/or treatment of rare diseases or conditions. In fulfilling that task, OOPD interacts with the medical and research communities, professional organizations, academia, governmental agencies, and the pharmaceutical industry, as well as rare disease groups.
The OOPD administers the major provisions of the Orphan Drug Act (ODA) which provide incentives for sponsors to develop products for rare diseases. The ODA has been very successful--more than 200 drugs and biological products for rare diseases have been brought to market since 1983. In contrast, the decade prior to 1983 saw fewer than ten such products come to market.
The FDA has approved one or more orphan products for the treatment of the diseases listed below.

New Center Explores Complexity of Discrimination
The Law School has launched the Center for Intersectionality and Social Policy Studies, a research hub dedicated to the framework for analyzing discrimination that Professor Kimberlé Williams Crenshaw introduced more than 20 years ago.
Crenshaw, who has published widely on civil rights law, discrimination, and other topics, originally developed the analytical construct as a means of investigating and articulating the multiple layers of discrimination faced by women of color.
Intersectionality examines how social structures and related identity categories such as gender, race, and class interact and overlap to create inequality on multiple levels. The new center is dedicated to revealing and combating the overlapping dynamics of discrimination that are often missed by one-dimensional conceptions of equal opportunity law and practice—issues also being addressed at the Law School by Professor Susan P. Sturm.
The new center's existing projects focus on race, gender, and incarceration; substandard education and low-wage work; race, sexuality, and masculinities; and the generation of new disabilities and illnesses among communities of color.
At one of the center's inaugural events this past fall, prominent feminist legal scholar, activist, and University of Michigan law professor Catherine A. MacKinnon addressed how intersectionality has influenced her work.

So, my younger brother, Davy Crockett, and his new bride, Glenda the Good Witch, will be making their annual pilgrimage to see us in about two weeks.
This means I have to finish their wedding scrapbook before they get here, because there's no way I'm shipping it to Kentucky. I've sunk too many hours and dollars into that thing, and I'm sure it will get lost in transit, just to spite me. In order to finish it, I've roped the kids in to help with the roughly 20 or so "family and friends" pages at the back of the book. It's become a family project, and I'm sure Davy will appreciate that (even if the Little Professor glues some of the pictures in slightly crooked).
We've been working on it at Grandmama's house. Grandmama doesn't assemble pages, but she does critique them. She calls this "supervising." I call it "being a pain."
"No, no," she'll say. "Not that paper. Why are you using so many keys and clocks?"
"Because they look nice." - Isn't that the point, with a scrapbook? - "And I like the symbolism."
She also monitors my craft spending. Since we're crafting together, I often take her with me on craft runs. (It isn't my fault that we go through glue dots like they're going out of style.) She spends most of these trips parroting, "you can't buy that!" over and over.
I am an adult woman, and I can so buy that. So there.
She has recruited the Sassy Saint to help her with this. The two of them follow me around the craft store, hanging over my shoulder, ready to remind me I can't bankrupt the Long Suffering Husband by purchasing yet another faux pearl decorative swirl.
I'm of the opinion you can never have too many faux pearls. It's simply not possible. There is nothing in this life that can't be made better with the addition of faux pearls.
I've been intrigued with fairy gardens for some time now. (Mostly meaning that I've been pinning stuff to my Pinterest page.) This last trip to the craft store, they had some tea cup/saucer fairy gardens on display and were advertising an upcoming fairy garden class.
"That is cute," I said. "I want to take that class."
"We don't need to take a class," Grandmama sniffed. "You just need a tea cup and some faux flowers. Maybe a fairy figurine."
I must have perked up, because she gave me the Stern Mother Face. "No. You are not buying any of that."
"Can't I just get a tea cup? Maybe some florist's moss? And some craft foam? And some miniatures? A handful of flowers?"
"No. No. No. No. And no."
Seriously, it's like I'm 14 all over again and she's trying to teach me good spending habits. Guess that lesson didn't take.
But it's OK. She can't be with me 24 hours a day and seven days a week.
And I don't need lessons.

The following questions occurred to me while browsing this site and looking at Exercise 20 here.
Question 1. Let $n>1$. Does there exist a countable dense subset $A\subset\mathbb{R}^n$ for which the complement $\mathbb{R}^n\setminus A$ is disconnected?
EDIT. I deleted an erroneous paragraph. Let me add two more questions, the first one being Gerald Edgar's comment here, the second one correcting the erroneous paragraph.
Question 2. Let $n>1$. Is it true that for any subset $A\subset\mathbb{R}^n$ of Hausdorff dimension less than $n-1$ the complement $\mathbb{R}^n\setminus A$ is connected?
It seems that Joel's argument answers this in the affirmative as well.
Question 3. Let $n>1$. Are there two countable dense subsets $A,B\subset\mathbb{R}^n$ whose complements are not homeomorphic?

Greg Blatt: A Perfect Match
As the CEO of Match.com, Greg Blatt '95 has hit his stride thanks
to a decade working with media moguls such as Martha Stewart
and Barry Diller
Greg Blatt '95, the CEO of Match.com, was less than four years out of law school when Martha Stewart asked him to take her company public. The year was 1999, and he was a junior associate at Wachtell, Lipton, Rosen & Katz. Stewart's confidence in Blatt was largely based on one simple principle: "She trusted me," Blatt says. He'd worked on a transaction for her when he was a first-year associate, and the senior associate on the deal was often occupied on other deals. "There was a lot of time when I pretty much handled the transaction by myself," he recalls.
When she decided to take her company public in 1999, Stewart approached Blatt and offered him the general counsel title at Martha Stewart Living Omnimedia. "It was an easy decision to join," he notes. The choice would be the first in a series of moves that eventually led to his emersion into the world of internet-based companies.
The next step came nearly five years later, when Blatt met with Barry Diller, who suggested he become the senior vice president, general counsel, and secretary of IAC/InterActiveCorp. At the time, IAC was a $25 million market capital company
and owned subsidiaries that ranged from Expedia and Hotels.com to Match.com, Ticketmaster and the Home Shopping Network (HSN). Less than two years into his time at IAC, Blatt helped the company spin off its travel businesses to form
Expedia, Inc.
His ability to handle such complicated deals is, in part, thanks to skills he gained during his time at Columbia Law School. "It transformed how my brain works and converted me into a disciplined thinker," he says. "It's like boot camp, and it trains you think in a critical way."
Even early on, Match.com fascinated Blatt. "I always thought Match.com was an ideal application of the internet," he explains. With classified ads serving as the most comparable alternative for those seeking romantic relationships, Blatt saw that Match.com filled a market need. Diller, who knew of Blatt's interest in the company, offered him the CEO position at Match.com earlier this year.
In describing all of his career shifts over the past decade, the only difficult decision the Boston native recalls was the need to relocate. "Match.com is based in Dallas, so I wrestled with that a little bit," Blatt admits. At the end of the day, however, he was convinced by the company's potential.
"I knew a lot of people who had successfully met people on Match.com, and I had a ton of friends who should have been using Match but did not," Blatt says. "There was this notion that something should change and would change. And at the end of the day, we're trying to help people achieve something. You can throw a lot of bells and whistles around it, but we focus on bringing people together."

Don't Call It Dinner Theater
On April 1, the same day spring hours officially started on the High Line, construction began below the elevated park on a 6,000-square-foot pop-up venue called Kazino. Located on the corner of 13th and Washington streets, adjacent to the Standard Hotel, it will begin welcoming guests on May 1.
Lest you mistake the red wood paneling and esoteric name (Kazino being the transliterative Russian word for casino) for just another Meatpacking District nightclub or restaurant, though, you should know it's actually—both, and more. Kazino is the custom-built home for "Natasha, Pierre and the Great Comet of 1812," an electro-pop opera written by and starring Dave Malloy based on a brief, lovelorn snippet of Tolstoy's "War and Peace."
Designed as an opulent supper club, with nods to 19th- and 20th-century Russian culture, Kazino will arrange audience members at bars and tables, while actors, servers and musicians move throughout the space, treating everything as a stage. Each ticket comes with a full Russo-Franco-themed meal (think borscht, dumplings, towers of seafood, carpaccio), and access to the full bar. As the performers move from table to table and sample the food and drink along with the audience, the sum experience is interactive, integrative and site-specific.
After the show's premiere last fall at Ars Nova on 54th Street, lead producers Howard and Janet Kagan went in search of a location that would allow "Natasha" to expand both in terms of physical space and creative scope. So they called Randy Weiner and Simon Hammerstein, the night-life gurus behind the Lower East Side venue the Box and, in Mr. Weiner's case, the similarly immersive theater experience "Sleep No More."
"I prefer to not necessarily be in the Times Square area, [but] to be where it's a little bit of an adventure to go to someplace new, to have a theatrical experience that isn't quite like a normal theatrical experience, to have a club experience that's not quite like a club experience," he said. "I think living in that kind of liminal, in between state is what's exciting."
New York theater is still very much proscenium-based, and true pop-ups like Kazino are rare finds. When "Natasha" made its premiere last year, designers repurposed the Ars Nova space, building over the orchestra and taking the audience through the dressing rooms. The workable area, though, was limited by the theater's dimensions. It was a quarter the size of the new space, and all one level—only a hint of what was to come.
At Kazino, audiences will enter through a winding white passageway, from which they can look up and see the tresses of the High Line. The main room holds up to 199 people, and Mr. Kagan estimated the weekly running costs will be a little more than that of a typical off-Broadway show, with approximately another $25,000 going to the wait staff, bartenders and entertainers. (The Kazino bar will be open to the public on show days beginning at 4 p.m., and there will be live pre- and post-show music.)
"This is really like the fulfillment of that [Ars Nova experience]," said Mr. Kagan, who is on the board at Ars Nova and had quickly recognized the growth potential in "Natasha," believing the pop-up model is versatile enough to tour the country. "We're still figuring out what that's going to be like. What is the experience of sitting in this room when there are waiters and we're bringing real food? What is it going to feel like, and how are the transitions going to work?"
After securing approval from Community Board 2, which manages much of lower Manhattan, Kazino was constructed in less than a month by the same team that created the Box. Scenic designer Mimi Lien, who has a background in architecture, was conscious that the set needed to be fully functional and visually appealing at all angles. The look is all waves, sinuous lines created by tabletops that snake through the club. The lighting, however, approximates what you might find in an off-Broadway house, and because the performers and band are scattered throughout the space, the sound designer has to create different mixes for each table.
As with his nightspots, Mr. Weiner believes the design will be every bit as critical to the success of "Natasha" as its lead performances and menu. "It's an amazing marriage Howard's brought together," he said. "We've got venues all over the world that are night life and F&B venues. To bring our level of seriousness about that craft—and it actually is a craft, a business where we create and fulfill fantasies—into the theater world and have it be equally powerful, is a very unusual move."
Apropos of an event that blurs the lines between so many types of entertainment, Mr. Malloy's score is equally genre-bending. A recent sneak preview at the Soho House featured infectious "baroque hip-hop soul" (in Mr. Malloy's words) and sweeping acoustic ballads. For his first solo effort as both librettist and composer, the Brooklyn-based artist (who also performs as Pierre in "Natasha"), took pages from Tolstoy's text and whittled them down, cutting characters, adding lines, and composing for an orchestra that includes clarinet, glockenspiel, cello and guitar.
"My last few shows have been based on old pieces of literature," said Mr. Malloy, whose show "Beowulf: A Thousand Years of Baggage" is simultaneously being mounted at ART in Boston. "So often I get the experience of reading something from the 18th or 19th century and just feeling like, 'Oh, my God, this is so familiar. It's not such an unknown time. These people are really feeling the same things we're feeling."
He said the immersive elements of "Natasha" will help audiences connect with the historical characters. Most of all, he and director Rachel Chavkin (the two are frequent collaborators) love hosting parties, and "Natasha" is their most ambitious to date. "You never run out of food, you never run out of booze, you never run out of conversation, and that totally extends to the theater that we want to make," Ms. Chavkin said. "The idea that you will be fed is both spiritual and literal."

Seagate Expansion 3TB USB 3.0 Hard Drive for $109.99 + free shipping
Promo Code: EMCXTXR34
Model: STBV3000100
Format: External Hard Drive
5 Comments add a comment
With external hard drives you hardly ever see how many rpms the drive is inside. I know with my video editing I need to make sure that it is at least 7200... is this a measurement thing of the past because of USB 3.0?
this is 7200. 170 MB\sec typical. Quiet, too. I have one.
I bought one of these last month from rakuten.com for my editing comp and so far it's been great as far as speed and sound goes.
I was in between buying one and not and darn woot comments convinced me to, argh! If it is indeed the 7200 version, I could use it for video editing as well. I have a Seagate 3TB internal and it is pretty fast, so if this one is comparable via USB 3.0 its worth the investment for the time it will eventually save me in rendering and moving video files.
For what it's worth, you might want to wait on this one for a little over 2.5 hours. Woot's momma Amazon is going to have a 3TB Seagate drive for 35% off as its 8:00 PST lightning deal.

5 Inspiring Acts of Kindness by Terrifying Crime Syndicates
This is the time of year when we like to stop and celebrate human generosity and togetherness. You'll hear lots of stories of kind strangers helping bringing surprise gifts to poor children and charities giving toys to the homeless and all that sort of thing. It's all very heartwarming.
But you know who also is generous from time to time? Organized crime. That's right; even the most murderous organizations in the world find the spirit of human kindness inside them from time to time.
#5. The Japanese Mafia Aids Earthquake Victims
There's nothing funny about a 7.5 magnitude earthquake that kills over 6,000 people, injures 30,000 and leaves 300,000 homeless, unless it somehow makes a huge farting sound or something when it happens. Which it doesn't, so we're not sure why we even brought that up.
Anyway, such a disaster is exactly what befell Kobe, Japan in 1995. With billions of dollars worth of buildings strewn willy-nilly through the streets, the only way in and out of the city was by helicopter or foot. Unfortunately, it was in the immediate aftermath of this disaster that the national and local governments started a game of freeze tag, but one in which both parties stayed frozen and no one was "it." Thousands of stranded victims found themselves on their own.
Enter the Yakuza, the Japanese mafia, which mobilized itself and got on the ground faster than a greased-up Dan Akroyd sliding down the pole at the Ghostbusters fire station. While government officials were still untangling themselves from a behemoth game of bureaucratic Twister, the Yakuza got thousands of its members into Kobe to distribute food, water, medicine and baby diapers.
"Thanks, Japanese Mafia!"
That's right; the mob got together and passed out baby diapers. And then, as if to prove that there's no crisis that can't be badassed to death, these gangstas straight descended into Kobe from their Yakuza helicopter to give thousands of blankets to the homeless.
"Once we're finished posing, it's off to the soup kitchen to stab hunger in the windpipe."
But before you get the wrong idea...
Did we mention we're talking about the world's oldest, largest organized crime group? One with over 85,000 active members and a history so violent we're a little bit afraid to write about it? As awesome as it is to provide blankets and baby diapers to earthquake victims, it's pretty not-awesome to systematically buy unwanted Chinese daughters and put them to work as prostitutes.
"Enjoy the free diapers, kid. You're going to be a mob hooker in about 10 years."
#4. Hells Angels Beat the Shit out of Childhood Misfortune
Best known for being fat, sweaty and terrifying, the Hells Angels happen to have a soft spot in their anarchistic hearts for underprivileged children. Which is awesome, because unlike the rest of us, children totally love it when beefy dudes on motorcycles go all charitable on their asses.
"Got a present for you, kid... why you cryin'?"
Every year, dozens of Hells Angels charters participate in local Toy Runs. Here's how it works: Members and non-members alike show up at the designated checkpoint with monetary donations and unwrapped toys. Then they ride, because somehow the two activities are related. The money and toys are donated to local Toys for Tots programs, crisis centers and various other places where watchcap-wearing waifs sit around with empty soup bowls crying about how their fathers got sent to debtor's prison.
Detroit, November 2009.
And it turns out the Hells Angels aren't only concerned with toyless children. In 2008, members of the Las Vegas charter donated over $5,000 to Jerry's Kids. And in case you haven't fallen in gay-love with the bikers yet, a UK branch totally took it upon themselves to reach out to veterans from the Afghan war by making Help For Heroes their 2009 charity of choice.
Sadly, there are no beard charities.
But before you get the wrong idea...
Well, that Jerry's Kids thing we mentioned above had police so nervous that they placed SWAT teams at different stations along the route, just in case some murdering went down along the way, which is exactly the type of environment you want to provide for children with muscular dystrophy.
In recent years, members of the Hells Angels have been arrested for rioting, robbery, drug trafficking, drug making, extortion, weapons charges, attempted murder and successful murder. This is a group that only allows white males to join and once hatched a plan to assassinate Mick Jagger, which unlike their many charitable donations is not considered tax deductible.
#3. Hamas is the Wrathful Santa Claus of Palestine
For those of you not all up on Palestine's #1 military church club, Hamas was founded in 1987 with the explicit purpose of replacing Israel with a Palestinian Islamic state. And, although they are better known for blowing shit up, it is estimated that Hamas spends up to 90 percent of its annual $70,000,000 budget on do-gooding throughout Palestine.
Not only does Hamas put most of its resources into soup kitchens, orphanages, sports leagues, after-school programs and medical clinics, but they do so efficiently and without corruption, which is something their rivals, Fatah, have so far been unable to accomplish.
"We will bomb you... with charity! (And bombs.)"
But before you get the wrong idea...
In spite of winning a majority in parliamentary elections, Hamas is still an organization widely known for using children as bullet stoppers. See, they're not just spending all that money out of the goodness of their hearts. They're filling their ranks from the cradle to the early grave with indoctrinated extremists who couldn't even play soccer at recess without the heavy hand of Hamas making it so.
All the daycares, schools and mosques, while useful in their own supposedly life-enriching ways, are like big Tupperware parties. Only instead of committing to plastic food containers, these party-goers are committing to fundamentalist terrorism. Either way, they're screwed.
