Let $\mathbb T^2=(S^1)^2$ be the 2-torus, for convenience. $\def\Imm{\operatorname{Imm}}$ Consider the Frechet manifold of immersion $\Imm(\mathbb T^2, \mathbb R^3)$ and the smooth mapping $R:\Imm(\mathbb T^2,\mathbb R^3)\to C^\infty(\mathbb T^2,\mathbb R^3)$ which is given by $$ R(f) := \partial_x f\times \partial_y f = f_x\times f_y, $$ where $\times$ denotes the vector product. Note that $R(f)$ is the unit normal to $f(\mathbb T^2)$ times the the density function of the area measure, parameterized.
- Question: Roughly, given $g\in C^\infty(\mathbb T^2,\mathbb R^3)$, can one solve $R(f)=g$ for $f$? Can one reconstruct $f$ from $R(f)=g$ up to translations? Are there local solutions in $\mathbb R^2$? Of course one expects that the image $R$ is at best a codimension 6 submanifold of $C^\infty(\mathbb T^2,\mathbb R^3)$ because of the two periodicity conditions.
The tangent mapping of $R$ is $T_fR.h = f_x\times h_y + h_x \times f_y = f_x\times h_y - f_y\times h_x$. This is not elliptic in $h$. The symbol of $T_fR$ is $$ \sigma(T_fR)(\xi,\eta) = \begin{pmatrix} 0 & \gamma & -\beta \\\\ -\gamma & 0 & \alpha \\\\ \beta & -\alpha & 0 \end{pmatrix} \quad\text{ where }\quad \begin{matrix} \alpha = f^1_y.\xi - f^1_x.\eta \\\\ \beta = f^2_y.\xi - f^2_x.\eta \\\\ \gamma = f^3_y.\xi - f^3_x.\eta \end{matrix}. $$
- Easier question: Is $T_fR$ injective? Is it surjective onto a codimension 6 linear subspace?
The interest in this problem comes from the fact that variants of $R$ like $f\mapsto |R(f)|^{-1/2}.R(f)$ pull back the flat $L^2$-metric on $C^\infty(\mathbb T^2,\mathbb R^3)$ to a weak Riemannian metric on $\Imm(\mathbb T^2,\mathbb R^3)$ which is invarint under the action of the diffeomorphism group of $\mathbb T^2$.
The related mapping for closed curves has been used successfully here. For the diffeomorphism group of $\mathbb R$ it has been used here.
The related problem for the unit normal for convex surfaces is classically called the Minkowski problem and there are solutions available, see

I'm Russian, and I have touristic (C-type) Schengen Schengen short stay visa. I want to know, can I stay for some period in UK without getting UK visa, or it is not possible (I heard about 36 hours free of visa staying or something like that)
UK is not part of the Schengen Agreement and therefore a Schengen visa as such does not allow you to enter the UK. According to official rules published by the UK Border Agency, Russia falls under the list of countries that require a visa before you can enter the UK. You can easily check if you need a UK visa here.
However, this only applies for longer stays. If you simply wish to transit through the UK, then you can 'transit without visa' (TWOV) with a limit of 24 hours of stay. This facility is available independent of whether you have a Schengen visa or not.
If you wish to stay longer than 24 hours, then you cannot 'transit without visa'. In this case, you will have to apply for a 'visitor in transit' visa that allows you to stay for up to 48 hours.

When you use general Dollmaker, you have to snapshot the doll you make (This process is not required when you use The Doll Palace Dollmaker ). Snapshot is a very simple operation. You can use combination <ALT>+<Print Screen> (Press and hold <ALT> button on your keyboard and press <Print Screen> button on your keyboard while holding <ALT> key) to do a snapshot of your current window. You can also use just a <Print Screen> button to do a snapshot of the entire screen. After you did a snapshot image is placed in Windows Clipboard.
Now you can import this image to any graphic editor you have or like and work on it. You can view our example of import in article about Paint. Also we would recommend to look for some tricks of designing the dolls in Photoshop
I think I should stop right here. This is were your creativity starts, lets see what you can do... Good Luck!
P.S. If you don't have any ideas yet, try to look what others are coming up with in Currently on The Doll Palace Doll Maker section.

Are we supposed to put the new diaper on immediately or give our newborn some diaper-free time? His skin under the diaper is slightly moist when changing it, should we give him some time to air out? If so, how much? And what are the negative consequences of just putting a new diaper back on him?
Most of the time it's okay to just put the clean diaper right back on. If it's too moist too often, he will get a rash, but usually that's more due to waiting too long to change rather than putting a new diaper on too soon. Make sure to clean all the urine off so the moisture is just from the wipe. You can use some baby powder if it starts to bother him, and there's a gazillion ointments out there too.
That being said, there's no down side to diaper-free time, except to your carpet!
How much time to air:
Especially with newborns, there's often no need for soaps, ointments or powders as long as the skin is clean and dry. We use only warm water, and cosmetic pads rather than wipes. We do use an ointment on occasion when the skin is red, otherwise nothing.
Diaper-free time is good. We used to put our newborn on a soft blanket to air out and "play" for a little while before dressing her up for bed.
The only caveat is sensitive skin. We always had some sort of layer between her and carpet, simply because we have 2 dogs and 2 cats and didn't want any additional skin irritation to happen.
The skin should be dry quite quickly, so normally there should be no problem to replace the diapers instantly with new ones. You can use a soft towel and the remaining moisture also should be absorbed by the diaper. Just if you see that the skin is or gets red or irritated, this might be a sign to give it more time to "breathe" and air out.
I'd also agree to the suggestions above: warm (pure) water and a towel should be enough to clean.
Further benefits of giving some diaper-free time (even if there are no "bad" signs like irritated skin):
I think it's good to let your child also play naked, because it can only move freely if it's not hindered by the big diapers.
And you can use this time without diapers for cuddling (maybe under a blanket, if it is too cold) and if you take your shirt off yourself, the baby also gets some contact skin so skin, which is also considered important for the relationship to the parents.
In my experience, slightly moist is okay (e.g. moist from a diaper wipe). That said, once or twice a day, I put a diaper under her bottom and play peek-a-boo with her for a few minutes on the changing table. (Do be sure to strap the baby in of course if you're going to duck under the table!) I don't feel this hurts, although it's hard to say if it helps do anything other than make diaper changing times more fun for her.
For my baby, diaper rash is more a function of teething and her dairy allergy. We change her frequently so we haven't really run into diaper rash apart from the teething and the food allergy. However, for the teething rash, her ped did recommend letting her air out a bit longer than we otherwise would. Nothing really life-changing, just a few minutes between taking off the old diaper and putting on the new one.

Point taken. Cabela's sells several hunting video games so maybe we're already there. At the pace Kalifornia is squeezing hunters out of existence, maybe virtual hunting games are the future for all of us anyway. LOL... if so, I would expect Sacramento to require a license to play hunting video games if they thought they could squeeze $$$ from that legislation. Seriously, there will always be debates about what is the most "pure" way to hunt or fish. Is a mouth caller a better hunter than the eCaller guy? If so, then is the best hunter the archer who can ambush coyotes up close and personal with just lip squeaks? Or will someone insist it's better still to hunt with a camera to conserve the critters for others and on and on and on. In the end, we'll all agree to disagree. If it's any consolation, I probably buy my first FoxPro and junk my home-built El Cheapo caller, but I will always tip my hat to the old timers who can do more with natural talent and less gear. I buy gear because I need more excuses.
If they start designing that into their e-callers, I'll hang it up!Just my two cents

We've kicked off some amazing new content around Pentaho's data visualization and dashboard capabilities that you won't want to miss.
For those of you who don't know, we have a team of in-house data design experts who specialize in creating 100% tailored analytics experiences for organizations with unique visualization and user interface needs. The team creates Pentaho platform solutions to business problems presented in a visual, elegant and intuitive fashion. And now, we've taken the opportunity to share that process with you in The Fine Art of Business Intelligence.
What's so special about this content is that it starts with sketches and business objectives (the kind our team receives all the time) – and provides visual design proposals and recommendations to satisfy those needs. We see too often in the BI marketplace an emphasis on 'pretty pictures' without consideration for guiding goals and strategy. As you might expect, we at Pentaho believe that beautiful visuals can (and must) solve business challenges before all else – hence the 'Fine' in 'Fine Art'.
There's also a little something for everyone on the Fine Art of BI pages – with examples addressing real needs in social media marketing, finance and investing, telecom, and healthcare.
Additionally, in conjunction with this project, we've collected visualization and dashboard best practices from our in-house design experts and shared them in this quick project guide. It's definitely worth a read if you are struggling with how to begin your project, which visualizations you should consider, or what dashboard layout makes sense. The guide (and the Fine Art of BI samples) highlight a few key themes that are broadly applicable:
- You need to have a plan before anything else: This includes considering the high-level organizational goals, analytics user needs, relevant and measurable KPIs, as well as data readiness. If your visualizations and dashboards are to be effectively utilized, they must align with the right user and business objectives.
- Less tends to be more: Don't put too many charts in your dashboard, don't insert complex overlays on your location visualizations, and don't discount a simple yet elegant bar chart (it may be the best way to convey information).
- Engagement drives adoption: Whether in the form of interactive hover and drill-down features, eye-catching theming and branding, or embedding analytics into existing applications – the more effectively you can engage your users, the more likely they will be to continue to use your analytics.
In case you missed it before, here's another link to the Fine Art of BI. We'd also recommend this Visualization Paper from TDWI for further reading.
Finally, here is a link to more information regarding our Custom Visualization and UI Design services offerings.Ben Hopkins Product Marketing Manager Pentaho

It is known that the two quantum groups $SL_q(2)$ and $U_q(\mathfrak{sl}(2))$ are both noncommutative and noncocommutative.
May I ask how do we show that?
I have attempted the following:
To prove that $SL_q (2)$ is noncommutative, we need to check that $\mu \circ \tau \neq \mu$. This follows from the fact that matrix multiplication is noncommutative in general.
To show that $SL_q(2)$ is noncommutative, we need to show that $\tau \circ \Delta \neq \Delta$.
We recall that $\Delta (\det_q -1) = (\det_q -1)\otimes \det_q + 1\otimes (\det_q -1)$, and that $SL_q(2)=M_q (2)/(\det_q-1)$.
After this part, I am kind of stuck.
Also, I am not too sure how to prove that $U_q(\mathfrak{sl}(2))$ is noncommutative and noncocommutative.
Sincere thanks for any help!

Weight loss experts offer holiday eating tips
At a November support group for surgical weight loss patients — and those considering the surgery — Debra Vaccaro, a dietitian and registered nurse, cautioned participants about healthy eating around the holidays.
She invited the 18 or so participants at the Center for Weight Loss Success in Newport News, Va., to be mindful when eating. She urged them not to multi-task, but to remove all distractions, including the TV, phone and computer, and to focus entirely on the food.
To practice mindfulness, she had them take a piece of a nutrition bar, examine it, smell it and then place a piece on the tongue to savor the taste.
Then she advised pausing between bites and reminded them that it takes 20 minutes for the body to determine that it's satisfied.
Using strategies such as this can result in eating at least one-third less and making food more enjoyable, she said.
Vaccaro advised applying similar strategies to other everyday activities, such as walking, allowing time to cultivate awareness and take in one's surroundings.
For the holidays, she urged her audience to have "a coping plan." One strategy is to make a list of every reason why you want to lose weight, and read it to yourself every morning. When you're tempted to eat something you hadn't planned, then read the list again, she said. She recommended the book, "The Beck Diet Solution," by Judith Beck, for self-help tips.
For each event, individuals need to have a plan in advance, she advised. They should prioritize, limiting themselves to the three foods they love the most, pre-determining how many courses they'll try, and then limiting portions at each course.
"The key is to put parameters on how much you will consume," she said.
Vaccaro brought up the subject of "food-pushers," those who try to guilt guests into trying a pie or taking an extra helping to show appreciation. She urged firm rejection: "Just say 'no' over and over again. You are protecting your good health."
Participants chimed in with their own suggestions. "Change your recipes. No one will notice," suggested one, who now makes her still-popular mac-and-cheese with skim milk, whole-wheat pasta and low-fat cheese. Others suggested substitutions, such as pureed cauliflower, whey protein and applesauce in place of less healthy carbs and fats. One noted that her revamped stuffing recipe, made with turkey sausage, mushrooms, sage, celery and onions was a huge hit with her work colleagues. "Nobody even noticed that there was no bread," she said.
For those who've had bariatric surgery, it's important to maintain intake of essential nutrients and ensure their effective absorption. The recommended ratio of protein to carbohydrates is 2:1, surgeon Dr. Thomas Clark told the group. He explained how much protein a body needs for weight maintenance and that men, and those doing intense workouts, need more. He also distinguished between simple proteins, such as whey, which are rapidly absorbed, and the more complex proteins in meat that the body takes longer to digest but uses more effectively. "It's not what you take in, it's what your body does with it," he said.

text: Sometimes I will receive e-mails asking me to make better or easier versions of certain tutorials that folks enjoy on the site. Such an e-mail came my way the other day, and the member asked me if I could make a different tutorial on a couple holding hands. She/he stated that the other lesson I submitted was great, but it is still too difficult to replicate. Now because I want everybody to have the same opportunity as everyone else, I went ahead and made a tutorial on "how to draw holding hands for kids", step by step. Drawing a couple holding hands can be very difficult to do because of the fact that the way hands join together in a locked state, makes drawing the finger connection hard. This lesson on drawing holding hands for kids will hopefully make the whole learning process better in a simplified way. Even though this submission was easy for me to draw, that doesn't mean my assumptions of this being a simple tutorial is correct. My saying goes like this; if you can replicate an image to look like the original in any slightest way, you did a great job. Enjoy this submission, and please let me know if it was helpful for you. Thanks guys, and peace out!

Let's consider the following Cauchy problem:
Assume that functions $\alpha,\beta,\gamma,\phi$ are regular (Hölder continous or even smooth but may have some sort of singularity in $t=0$ like $1/t$ term for example). Suppose that we can prove that this problem has unique solution $u=u(x,t)$ in some domain $D\subset\mathbb{R}\times\mathbb{R}_+$.
Im interested in short time symptotic expansions of solutions, i.e. im looking for methods of showing that $$u(x,t)=\Sigma_{k=0}^mu^k(x)t^k+o(t^m)$$ as $t\rightarrow 0$. (With description of functions $u^k$ in terms of simpler PDE's of course).
My question is: are there any papers or monographs dealing with such asymptotic expansions in case of complicated nonlinear PDE's (with mathematical rigour, not only clever Ansatz coming out of the blue and with no proof)?
Another problem I'm concerned with:
In various works i saw asymptotic expansion technique was used in following manner:
1) Write down a series $\Sigma_{i=0}^{\infty}\lambda^iu_i(x,t)$, where $\lambda$ is time variable or some synthetic parameter
2) Plug that formal series into equation, perform differential operations term by term, group everything by powers of $\lambda$
3)Observe that coefficients standing by powers of $\lambda$ are differential operators applied to unknown functions $u_0,u_1,u_2,...$
4)Solve system of equations obtained by equating those coefficients to $0$
5)Be happy that you solved initial equation
So here is a basic question: how can we be sure without any further analysis between points 4) and 5) that obtained series is in any way related to actual solution?
In some papers i saw (physics and mathematical finance) authors just obtained that formal series and didn't even bother with proving that it has anythin to do with actual solution. Why?
Here is an example of a problem im trying to "assymptotically expand" in short time:
$$tu_t=Tr[\frac{u}{2}AD(\frac{x}{u})\otimes D(\frac{x}{u})]-t^2Tr[\frac{u^3}{8}ADu\otimes Du]+t<\alpha,Du>+t Tr[\frac{1}{2}AD^2u]-\frac{u}{2}$$ Where: $u=u(x,y,t)$ ($x,y>0$ $t\geq 0$) -solution (assume that it exists and that $u>0$), $A=A(x,y,t)$ -is $2\times 2$ matrix for all $x,y,t$ and its is Hölder continous with exponent $\alpha$ in space and $\alpha/2$ in time, $\alpha=\alpha(x,y,t)\in \mathbb{R}^2$ also Hölder continous with exponent $\alpha$ in space variables and $\alpha/2$ in time variable. $Tr$ stand for trace of a matrix and $\otimes$ for tensor product of vectors: $(a_{i})\otimes (b_{i})=(a_i b_j)_{i,j}$ ($a,b$ -vectors, $a\otimes b$ -matrix).

[OPEN-EXTJSIV-413] ComboBox.getValue() does not return value of the field
ComboBox.getValue() does return the selected value of the ComboBox, but not the currently typed in value, if the value is not available as choice.
28 Mar 2011 6:09 AM #2
I don't think it should, should it?
If it's not available as a choice, the field shouldn't allow you to set that as a value.
28 Mar 2011 6:26 AM #3
If you create a ComboBox in ExtJs 3, you would bind it to an input field. And with this combination, it was possible to have a value in the field, that is not in the choices.
For example, if you use a ComboBox for a live search, the field would be the search string and the choices would be the results.

Dog hit by car now uses wheelchair
KANSAS CITY, Mo. - A stray dog hit by a car on Halloween is now using a different mode of transportation to get around.
Steve now uses a doggie wheelchair. The accident left him with a broken pelvis and an injured back leg. He had to have his leg amputated.
Before receiving his wheelchair, the workers at KC Pet Project literally had to carry him around.
One of the shelter's volunteers was able to get Steve fitted for the wheelchair, which he is still getting used to. He is now going through physical therapy to help regain his strength in the hopes he'll eventually be able to use his remaining back leg without the wheelchair.
He currently is in a foster home. Eventually he will be put up for adoption through KC Pet Project.

I recently received the following question: "I live on E. David Hwy. in Ionia. When I approach M-66, westbound, and want to make a right turn onto M-66 (and there is opposing traffic headed eastbound wanting to make a left turn on M-66) I was taught that I have the right of way.
It seems nowadays that if the other side was there first, they think they have the right to make their left hand turn - before my right hand turn. My question is "Has there been a change in the laws? Am I correct in believing that right turns, with the flow of traffic, have the right of way?"
Thank you for your question, and I will try to answer it without getting too technical. The vehicle that is turning left must yield the right of way to the vehicle turning right (or going straight). It is not about who gets there first or about who "has the right of way."
It is about who must YIELD the right of way. Michigan law is very clear that the vehicle turning left must yield the right of way to any oncoming traffic in, or at the intersection.
This is found in MCL 257.650 which says:
"The driver of a vehicle within an intersection intending to turn to the left shall yield the right of way to a vehicle approaching from the opposite direction which is within the intersection or so close to the intersection as to constitute an immediate hazard;…"
Please plan ahead and allow adequate travel time, especially during the morning and evenings when M-66 in south Ionia becomes congested. Please practice patience when entering M-66 and yield the right of way when required to do so. Also remember to enter M-66 correctly when making a left turn. The center lane is not to be used for merging or stopping and waiting for an open spot to enter traffic.

From the technet article for Microsoft's Log Parser 2.2 it states that
"Can't find an input format you need? The new COM input format makes it possible to create your own custom Input Format and plug it into the Log Parser engine."
Is it possible to create such a COM input format for Microsoft SQL LDF files (2005/2008), and if so any examples of how it can be done?
We are wanting the ability to investigate the LDF files to better support our development staff without breaking the bank.

Moral Minds: How Nature Designed Our Universal Sense of Right and Wrong (Hardcover)
Email or call for price
Special Order
Marc Hauser's eminently readable and comprehensive book Moral Minds is revolutionary. He argues that humans have evolved a universal moral instinct, unconsciously propelling us to deliver judgments of right and wrong independent of gender, education, and religion. Experience tunes up our moral actions, guiding what we do as opposed to how we deliver our moral verdicts.
For hundreds of years, scholars have argued that moral judgments arise from rational and voluntary deliberations about what ought to be. The common belief today is that we reach moral decisions by consciously reasoning from principled explanations of what society determines is right or wrong. This perspective has generated the further belief that our moral psychology is founded entirely on experience and education, developing slowly and subject to considerable variation across cultures. In his groundbreaking book, Hauser shows that this dominant view is illusory.
Combining his own cutting-edge research with findings in cognitive psychology, linguistics, neuroscience, evolutionary biology, economics, and anthropology, he examines the implications of his theory for issues of bioethics, religion, law, and our everyday lives.
About the Author
Marc D. Hauser is the author of the highly acclaimed Wild Minds. He has been featured in the New York Times, USA Today, the Washington Post, the Wall Street Journal, and the Boston Globe, as well as on Today, The Early Show, PBS's Scientific American Frontiers, and NPR. Hauser is Professor of Psychology, Organismic and Evolutionary Biology, and Biological Anthropology at Harvard University, where he is director of the Cognitive Evolution Laboratory and co-director of the Mind, Brain and Behavior Program. He is the recipient of a National Science Foundation Young Investigator Award, a Guggenheim Award, a College de France Science medal, and a Harvard College Professorship chair for his excellence in teaching.

Horrorscopes by Miranda.
Concentrate on new ventures, new people, or else you could get sucked into bad memories. Life is full of ups and downs and the only thing you can do is hold on tight and scream for help. You have a minor influence over your associates and people resent you for flaunting it at peers. In a former life, you were an extremely evil person, for example, a traffic warden or a tax inspector. That's probably why your life sucks right now. Earn karma points by donating to charity, or at the very least, stopping knocking on people's doors and running away. That's irritating enough in a child and you're a grown adult now, so quit it and find something grown up to do with your time, like writing nasty letters to newspapers instead.
The new moon in your sign on Thursday combined with Mars speaks of a new kind of energy, drive and initiative which means you've no chance of getting out of doing the ironing. And don't let it pile up. If you do, you will trip over the immense pile on Tuesday and fall flat on your face in front of someone that you are trying to impress and the chance will be lost forever. Your skills as a convincing and interesting speaker could be called upon this week as your mate will need an alibi. Refusing your mate this favour does not bode well for you, as she knows something about you which could have dire consequences should she choose to broadcast it to the world. Keep her sweet. After all, you do have the impressive skill of being able to look someone in the eye and lie convincingly, so might as well make the most of it.
Some people hit rock bottom and they splatter, others bounce. Make sure you identify which kind you are and prepare for the future. A change is coming. An indefinable source will push you out of your rhythm. Evil will take a new form and you will be in the centre of it. If only you weren't so thick headed, because otherwise you might notice in time to avoid it... never mind. Whatever you did, you did the right thing, but for the love of god, stop calling and texting that number! Pick any other number, even if it is your local pizza place, just not that one. File your ex into the dead category. They are never going to come back to you, so you can stop hoping right now. Instead, go out and attempt to find the person for you... just try not to make yourself look ridiculous in the process this time.
A week when finding the right words at the right time will have the effect of smoothing over a potential family upset. So be brave and admit it was you that scratched the car. Its true that whenever you come into contact with animals, they always seem to really like you. However, this is mainly because youre fat and slow and thus will be easy to cut from the herd when your time comes. Beware of wolves, cats and things that go bump in the night. Also, disregard the Cancer and Scorpio at your peril. Both can hone in on your most sensitive areas and deliver a nasty nip that will down you like a felled tree. A wise man once said that astrology and palmistry are good because they make people vivid and full of possibilities. They are communism at its best. Everybody has a birthday and almost everybody has a palm.
Any part of your personality that is wilful or possessive could be exposed this week, for there are opposing forces determined to bring out the best or worst in you. So drink less or you'll regret it. Under the influence of alcohol, you are under the impression that beating up the strongest person in the bar will make everyone respect you. Instead they will laugh at you, and you won't even know it because you will be in hospital. Try and avoid the salad meal while you're there, because it's full of salmonella. Money cant bring you happiness but it won't automatically depress you either. And remember, the best way to save money is to forget the person you borrowed it from. It is time to wake up, smell the fresh air, listen to some soul music and meditate. But if you are from another planet I dont think any of this will make sense, so go back to bed.
This month has been fine right up to the last week, when it suddenly got cold. This is bad news for everyone around you, as Cancers tend to get extremely short tempered when the weather is cold, as you are best suited to warmer climes. Try not to bite too many people's heads off this month, as you will need to retain at least one friend to go drinking with. Most people think that you are a cold, unemotional person who is probably a serial killer. This is not necessarily a bad thing, as it does at least mean that no-one is going to dare to cross you. You are also becoming a shape-shifter. Could this month be good for your career? Watch out for a lingering promotion. And for the love of god, at least TRY to smile more. Trust me, your face won't crack.
Horrorscopes contd. - 11-29-2012, 06:33 PM
If you do not have anything appropriate to say you will please restrict your remarks to the weather. In other words, keep your mouth shut this month. Remember these wise words; if you lend someone money and never see them again, it was worth it. Especially if the person in question is a two faced Gemini. Leo brains are like the Bermuda Triangle. Info goes in, never to be seen again... Keep calm, nobody else knows what they're doing either. You have no idea what you want to say. You will give confusing disparate directions, and you will explain things poorly and be misunderstood. Your quiet voice will gather like dust in corners. Yes, this month will be just like all the ones before. Your ego has inflated and it has now become so huge you are no longer able to carry it. The only thing left to do is to flatten it with a steamroller!
You are supposed to be modest, shy, meticulous, practical and extremely reliable. Who ever made that story up, obviously got it wrong! You are neither one of those things, and you are certainly not shy! If only you were, the world would be a quieter, more peaceful place. Try and make friends with a Taurus this month. Their inate stupidity will get on your nerves, but you will instantly look like a better person next to them. Dont do anything that will get you on the front of a newspaper. No dodgy activity in a bush, behind a car, public toilet, anywhere near tourist attractions or parking lots with operating CCTV cams. You are being watched! Wait a second, what am I saying? Go on, do all of those things! Just let me know when so that I can come and film it and put it up on YouTube for the lulz.
You decide to create an outrageous and thus lucrative new fashion trend and assemble a snappy three piece suit made of thinly sliced roast beef. Sadly, as you take it out for its first outing, you run into a massive sponsored dog walk put on by the local community. Here's some advice; while wearing meat products might have worked for Lady Gaga, unless you are also a famous pop star, it will not work for you so try to avoid doing so in future and you will also avoid several dog bites. Never compare yourself to anyone or it will cause you agony, it will give you sleepless nights, it will cause you stress, drive you to insanity and ultimately it will lead you to a negative thought process which will stay with you till the day you die.
Your jealousy and resentfulness is driving a lot of your friends to insanity. You are a compulsive obsessive, which also makes you a maniac. You are revengeful, weird and just plain scary! And you have secretive stalking tendencies. Leave people alone, really, you psycho! Otherwise you will soon find yourself residing in a room with bars on the window. Yes, you will have your food and board paid for, but you will not be able to leave. Having said that... not even the most intelligent person can win an argument effectively if they do not have the right tools. So make sure you have a crowbar and a chainsaw on hand before you confront that person youve been disagreeing with. The end justifies the means, dear Scorpio.
There are probably at least seven ninjas living in your house not paying rent. This month is all about monkey business for all Sagittarius people. Some will experience too much business and not enough monkey. Your constant worries are like huge splotches of paint on a palette and they are of very little value to anyone including yourself However, the splotches are nothing in contrast to the spillages that await you. When people around you start slipping and sliding in your goo thats when the real danger crops up. Stay away from large containers of paint. And also buckets, just to be on the safe side. Probably brushes, as well. But not the ones you use on your hair, otherwise it will become a mess of knots and birds will make nests in it.
You are pompous and patronising. Your dogmatic attitude is getting boring. You will truly help yourself if you stop bossing around and stop interfering in other peoples business. You think you are the best thing in the universe, but really you are intolerant and no one likes you. Do something about it! However, you do have an ok sense of humour on Saturdays, so feel free to express yourself then. Your paranoia can get often the better of you. That guy who keeps knocking on your door every morning is just the postman trying to deliver a parcel. And those voices in your head are only trying to reassure you that youre not actually mental. You will meet a tall dark stranger this evening, adorned from head to toe in black. He carries a scythe and is a tad on the bony side. If he invites you to walk down a long dark road with him, make sure you stay near the light.
Congrats to dolls of the month!
Miranda, I was reading Capricorn and got a little worried haha...almost had me believing it.
Av/Sig set: Lovely Lovie's Blends
Wow, the birthday doll is fabulous!
Also, for once I'm not looking over my shoulder looking for Miranda, who had an uncanning ability to describe how my life was going 0_o NOT THIS TIME, WHEW!!! She must be watching some other Virgo. xD
I agree, the birthday doll is too cute!
Ness, I'm with you about being worried for the Capricorn horoscope, . I think Miranda stopped snooping on Lovie to go watch the two of us xD
And congrats to the Dolls of the Month winners, especially Erica since it was your first ever handdrawn doll

A LAMY for every writing occasion
By CA
from Lodi, CA
Comments about Lamy Safari Rollerball:
I'm a writer and I select the pens I use for interviews and drafts according to the topic, the person I'm interviewing and my mood...idiosyncratic, perhaps, but the feel, the flow, the essence of using a particular pen for a particular moment/story works for me and the LAMY Safari Rollerball is right at the top of my list, along with the LAMY fountain pens. The right pen for the right job...you can't surpass LAMY in this department!
Bottom Line Yes, I would recommend this to a friend

Not my first Lamy
By oceans137
from Undisclosed
Love the pen! Function, balance and looks. I wouldn't expect anything less. This won't be my last Lamy writing instrument.
Nicely Balanced
By DGraywolf
from San Antonio, TX
I am a fan of rollerball pens and am delighted with this pen. It was purchased to replace a lost True Writer pen that I had used for seven years. This pen is better balanced and is thick enough to make it easy on my hand (I have arthritis), but is not so thick that I feel like I'm writing with a baseball bat! I will probably buy more of these.
Lovely Pen and writes like a dream!
By GrandmaReader
from College Park, MD
I have the greem Lamy fountain pen as well. This pen is so pretty and it writes like a dream. The writing is effortless. It is not a fine point at all, quite thick in fact. I love this pen.

Lamy spells disappointment
By fitz
from BROOKLYN, N.Y.
I purchased this rollerball as my everyday writing instrument with two additional roller refills. The one in the pen wrote in such a fine point that i tried the first refill and then the second. I ended up with a roller and two refills that write so thin that after initial use it has found its way to the " in case i can't find anything else to write with " draw in my desk.
Bottom Line No, I would not recommend this to a friend
Merchant response: Thank you for your review. I am sorry that the Lamy Refills are not at the point that you prefer. Unfortunately, they are only offered in one size. Our Levenger rollerball refills are offered in Extra Fine, Fine or Medium. We have a large selection of rollerball pens you can use those in. Call us at 1-800-545-0242 and we'll be happy to help you.
Lamy does it again
By Jacki
from Falls Church, VA
I wanted an inexpensive but effective rollerball pen to use with my Moleskines and other journals. I found this Lamy rollerball to be a very smooth and flowing pen. I am happy with the ink texture and color. I also have Lamy Safari fountain pen I enjoy using. I highly recommend Lamy products and ordering them from Levenger.

Can you judge someone by the clothing he or she wears? Even if you can, should you?

closed as not a real question by Isaac Moses Oct 10 '11 at 14:56
It's difficult to tell what is being asked here. This question is ambiguous, vague, incomplete, overly broad, or rhetorical and cannot be reasonably answered in its current form. For help clarifying this question so that it can be reopened, visit the help center.If this question can be reworded to fit the rules in the help center, please edit the question.
The problem is that the term "judge" is one open to different meanings and often has a negative connotation.
The truth is that you can certainly make inferences about people based on their choice of clothing. Some inferences are more accurate than others.
I saw a couple of gentlemen on Friday, at least one had tzitzis and at least one had a yarmlke (under a cap). It is a reasonable inference that these gentlemen were Jewish but they were both self professed non-Jews (Messianic though). The inference that they were Jewish would be technically incorrect but they clearly wore their clothing out of an affinity towards Jewish belief and practice (albeit incorrect in major aspects) so it is not totally without basis.
If you see someone dressed not in accordance with halachah, this speaks to their fidelity to those halachos (though we must be dan lkaf zchus when possible).
People present themselves how they want to be perceived, and if they don't care then that will typically be made apparent also. You can not always tell the authenticity of the presentation, but the fact that such is how they want people to perceive them in and of itself tells us certain things about them.
Of course you can.
If a man wears only white shirts and black pants, he is likely trying to fit into the 'yeshivish' crowd. If he is wearing a large knit kippah and a colored shirt (or even a non-button-down shirt), he is likely trying to fit a more modern type. Likewise, with women and their styles of dress.
To be honest, it is very easy to judge people based on their clothing. Most of the time, these judgments are accurate.
The real question, then, is whether you should be doing such judging.
There is no straight answer to this question, but usually the way a person dresses as the people or group he identifies with so usually you can.

One of the oldest debates in pro sports is whether so-and-so athlete is capable of cutting it in New York City. It's different here. Faster. Closer. Louder. Little things explode into giant things overnight. A New York athlete needs a thick skin, or he or she will be overwhelmed.
But if you can play through it and prosper, you will be rewarded.
You'll probably get rich. And you'll become powerful in a way that athletes in other cities are not. There's just something about winning in New York City that makes an athlete bigger and boldfaced. This power list is an attempt to examine that. It won't tell you who's got the best free-throw percentage or the most touchdowns. It might not reflect a win-loss column. But championships help.

What is radiation therapy?
Abramson Cancer Center of the University of Pennsylvania
Last Modified: November 1, 2001
Radiation is a type of high energy that comes from special machines (i.e., X-ray machines) or radioactive sources (i.e., cobalt, radioactive iodine). When used at high doses, radiation can destroy cells or keep them from growing or dividing. The use of high-energy rays or particles to treat disease is called radiation therapy. You may also hear it referred to as x-ray therapy, cobalt therapy, or irradiation.
Radiation therapy is an effective way to treat many kinds of cancer in almost any part of the body. About half of all patients with cancer are treated with radiation. For some, radiation therapy is the only treatment necessary. For others, radiation therapy is combined with other treatments, such as surgery and chemotherapy, to best treat their cancer.
Radiation works best against cells that are growing and dividing. Because cancer cells grow and divide more rapidly than many of the normal cells around them, radiation therapy is a useful tool in treating cancer. Although some of the healthy cells in the area where the radiation is given are also destroyed, most normal cells tend to recover more quickly and more fully from the effects of radiation than do the cancer cells. Careful planning is taken to ensure that the radiation affects as little of the normal tissue as possible.
How is radiation therapy given?
Radiation therapy can be given either externally or internally. Most patients who receive radiation therapy receive it externally. In this type of treatment, doses of radiation are given to a carefully defined area through a machine that directs the high-energy rays or particles at the cancer and the normal tissue surrounding it. Treatments are usually given once a day, Monday through Friday, over a period of 3 to 7 weeks. Patients normally receive each treatment during an outpatient visit to a hospital or radiation therapy treatment center, and very few require an in-patient admission. Since the radiation is given in relatively small doses, patients who receive external radiation therapy are not considered radioactive and do not need to take any special precautions during the time they are being treated.
Radiation therapy can also be given internally to administer higher doses of radiation directly to the tumor. In some cases, the radioactive substance is sealed in small containers such as thin wires or tubes, which are held in place by mechanical devices. In other situations, the radioactive substance is swallowed by mouth or injected into the body. These are referred to as unsealed sources. Most patients who receive internal radiation therapy are admitted to the hospital for 3-7 days. For more information on internal radiation therapy, go to Internal Radiation Therapy.
There are two types of machines that are used to deliver external radiation therapy. One is a linear accelerator, a machine that creates high-energy radiation using electricity to form a stream of fast-moving subatomic particles. The other type of machine contains a radioactive substance, most often cobalt-60, as its source of radiation. The Department of Radiation Oncology at the Abramson Cancer Center of the University of Pennsylvania uses state-of-the-art linear accelerators. These machines deliver the radiation therapy to the tumor with great accuracy, killing the cancer while sparing as much of the surrounding healthy tissue as possible. For more information on external radiation therapy, go to Overview of the Treatment Process.

What is the best age to start schooling for my kid. In India, some start schooling at 3 few at 4-6. So, I just want to know what is the age come out from research which is the best age for schooling. He will be taught at home by his mother.
In my personal experience as a parent, an active volunteer at multiple elementary schools, and volunteer at a child counseling organization, kids vary incredibly in this regard. I've seen children who started school at 4 who really should have been in sooner, and children start school at 5 who really weren't ready yet.
It's more helpful to look at stages of development when determining whether a child is prepared for school. Also, the type of first schooling matters.
For what is considered a "traditional" pre-school in the US -- about 50% play time, and about 50% educational play time (learning songs, practicing shapes and color names, improving speech), the child should be able to...
For what we call "kindergarten" here in the US as well as what are typically called "academic preschools", a child should have the abilities above, plus:
Ideally, the new kindergartener also is able to write his/her name, knows the alphabet, has good manners, and it at least beginning to read. But these are rarely required and not all children have all of these skills before beginning school.
If you live in India, as your question seems to imply, your schools may be set up very differently and have different expectations.
You should also keep in mind that kids are all very different -- when my son started preschool, for example, he had most (but not all) of the kindergarten skills, but a severe speech disorder and other complications that made a traditional preschool more appropriate.
That depends on the school and the kid. It's never to early to learn, and never to late. But different ages needs different ways of teaching. You can't sit a 4 year old in a school bench and expect him to stay there. :)
Right Age to Start the school will be around 2.5 Years Old.
First You can enroll your child for pre-kg in the near by school. After start searching for the good shcool in your locality.
Right to start searching for the schoold will be when the Child is around 2 Years. Start colleting information about the school from your neighbours, friends, collegues and relatives.
Make a Plan and Accordingly start searching for a school.
For more information you can visit the following blog: http://informedwoman.wordpress.com/2011/05/17/right-age-to-start-schooling-for-your-child/
If you are in the United States, this link takes you to a very similar question and its answer for considerations for kindergarten. It has a nearly complete list of attributes to consider in your child.
You have probably already discovered this by now, but the great thing about being taught at home by your mother, is you can introduce formal schooling at the child's own pace. You don't have to suddenly flip a switch where one day the child is playing at home all day, and the next he is sitting in a classroom all day. The activities you do now to prepare him for academics, just naturally start morphing into the real thing.
In Finland, children start to go school after 7 yrs of age, and they spend half the time in class room study and the remaining hours in playing games.
Finland schools are running by government and students are treated equally each other.

...Most businesspeople are upright citizens; but that does not change the fact that business is conducted for private gain and not for the public benefit. The primary responsibility of management is to the owners of the business, not to some nebulous entity called the public interest—although enterprises often try, or at least pretend, to be acting in a public-spirited way because that is good for business. If we care about universal principles such as freedom, democracy, and the rule of law, we cannot leave them to the care of market forces; we must establish some other institutions to safeguard them.

Those who attended the Jefferson County Fourth Street Health Center's volunteer recognition dinner held Nov. 12 at Wintersville United Methodist Church's fellowship hall went home with a candle - an original scent called "Volunteer Glow."
As Ann Quillen, the center's executive director, explained, she wanted the volunteers to have not only a small token of appreciation that would bless them but also would serve as a little reminder of what they're doing for others when they volunteer at the center.
The candles, by the way, were donated by Makepeace Naturals Soy Candles & Soaps in Wintersville.

"I wanted the fragrance to be sweet so the first scent I chose was vanilla, to remind those smelling it of better or sweeter times," Quillen said. "I believe the care we provide is sweet and gives off a warm, caring fragrance to our patients' lives," she said.
But Quillen said she also wanted the candles to have a touch of cinnamon, symbolic of "spicy times that help us appreciate the good in life."
"The combination of these two reminds me of our volunteers who serve as a sweet reminder that life is good and that we will be there for our patients in their difficult and trying times," Quillen said of the unique fragrance bearing the name "Volunteer Glow" on the label.
"The candle is for everyone to take one home, and when you burn it, remember what a sweet difference you're making in the lives of those down at the health center," Quillen said.
The volunteer recognition banquet included a homestyle meal courtesy of the kitchen crew at the Wintersville UMC - Methodists are excellent cooks - and the blessing by the Rev. Clint Quillen, pastor of the Wintersville UMC who joked he's also known as "Ann Quillen's husband."
The Quillen family, by the way, was there in full force along with their three sons - Josiah, David and Sam, all of whom are center volunteers.
If you're not familiar with the center, it's located at 701 N. Fourth St., Steubenville, in what used to be a little corner luncheonette back in the day. It's a 6-year-old nonprofit facility that provides access to quality health care to the medically uninsured and underserved in Jefferson County.
Thanks to the generosity of many volunteers, including doctors and nurse practitioners there and at the Mount Pleasant satellite office, people in need get the help they need, which is cause to pause and say "thank you," hence the banquet.
The placemats doubled as a source of information and inspiration. Year-to-date totals for 2012 show 452 volunteers provided 3,432.50 hours of service. There have been 1,287 patient visits; 919 Patient Assistance Program applications completed; and 1,040 prescriptions dispensed.
"Volunteering warms the essence of the soul" was one piece of inspiration printed on the placemat along with the New Testament verse from 1 Thessalonians 1:2: "We give thanks to God always for you all, making mention of you in our prayers."
Connie Buydasz, administrative assistant, assisted Quillen in recognizing volunteers acknowledged for the following hours of service:
Volunteers with more than 500 hours: Shelley Argentine, Michael Hauber and Sheila Thompson.
Volunteers with more than 250 hours: Beatrice Antol, Judy Dines, Juliett Hamilton, Charlotte Jones and Dr. Mary Mihalyo.
Volunteers with more than 100 hours of service: Louise Ball, Lynn Barron, Paul Brandt, Margaret DeMark, Katie Gesto, Kathi Harris, Jackie Kennedy, Dr. Charn Nandra. center medical director Dr. Frank Petrola, Joan Piatt, Marcy Ryan, Jane Scott and Catherine Sengenberger.
The evening also included thanks to the doctors and nurse practitioners who are "the nuts and bolts" of the center's work, without whom "we would not even need to bother opening our doors," Quillen said.
Also singled out were Dr. Frank Petrola, the center's medical director from the get-go, and Bruce Misselwitz, board president, in addition to Tom Timmons, treasurer; Dave Arnold, vice president; and Dr. Mary Mihalyo, pharmacy director. Board members include James Baber, Linda Bain, Dr. Thomas Brown, Carolyn Buchanan, Robin Flohr, Patricia Fletcher, Tom Graham, Anita Jackson, Patty Reda, Janet Sharpe, LeRoy Sharpe and Debbie Welsch.
Two other groups Quillen acknowledged were the committee that organizes the annual gala - the co-chairs for the next one are Dr. Frank Petrola and his wife, Eileen - and the Young Ambassadors, students who help raise funds for the center.
Quillen referred to a study that shows volunteering does a body good. Volunteers have greater longevity, lower rates of depression and less incidence of heart disease. Volunteering makes the heart grow strong, she said.
"With this report in mind, know that you are not only impacting the lives of others, but you are also impacting your own health in a positive way by giving of your time, your energy and abilities with all our patients and our staff at the Jefferson County Fourth Street Health Center. We can never thank you enough, and volunteering warms the essence of the soul and truly brings a warm glow to so many," she said.
Board member Janet Sharpe said the movement for the center began in 1993. She said she calls it her baby and likes to watch it grow. A dental clinic is another step this "baby" will be taking.
The evening also included two cute skits, one involving Tom Timmons, Janet Sharpe, Bruce Misselwitz, LeRoy Sharpe, Suzanne Brown, Anita Jackson and Jackie Kennedy and the other one featuring "singer-dancers" Beth Rupert Warren, Linda Bain and Connie Buydasz, sporting boa feathers and sunglasses.

News Release (Back to Menu)
Professor David D. Troutt Edits "After the Storm" – Essays on Social, Policy & Legal Issues Raised by Hurricane Katrina
Rutgers Law scholar offers fresh perspectives on inequality in urban America
August 30, 2006 –That poor and largely black Americans were the primary victims of Hurricane Katrina did not surprise David Dante Troutt, Professor of Law at Rutgers School of Law–Newark. In both his scholarship and teaching, Troutt has long explored how racial and economic segregation have perpetuated inner-city poverty. But the staggering extent of the Katrina devastation, seen first-hand by Troutt during two trips to New Orleans, demanded a fresh examination of the national significance of the poverty and inequality revealed in the aftermath of the storm. The result, After the Storm: Black Intellectuals Explore the Meaning of Hurricane Katrina, is a book of wide-ranging essays edited by Troutt and just published by the New Press.
"What the nation saw in New Orleans," said Troutt, "is the result of a decades-long effort to ensure the stability of middle-class communities by excluding the urban poor from the American dream. As a country we need to nurture both individual self-sufficiency and a more inclusive sense of community if our other cities with a predominantly poor and minority population are not to remain as vulnerable as New Orleans." In addition to serving as editor, Troutt contributed "Many Thousands Gone, Again," which describes the convergence of race, class, and space that proved so combustible under the weight of the storm. The essay deals with historical facts active in New Orleans that made its persistently poor neighborhoods vulnerable to sudden devastation in the same way that ghettoes across America fall prey to slow deaths.
Among the book's other contributors are the public intellectual Michael Eric Dyson of the University of Pennsylvania, Sheryll Cashin of Georgetown Law Center, Devon Carbado and Cheryl Harris of UCLA Law School, and Clement Price of Rutgers–Newark. The well-known Derrick Bell and Charles J. Ogletree Jr. wrote the foreword and introduction, respectively.
Professor Troutt earned his B.A. with distinction from Stanford University and his J.D. cum laude from Harvard Law School, where he served as executive editor of the Civil Rights-Civil Liberties Law Review. As a lawyer, he practiced both public interest and corporate law, advocating on a broad range of areas including inner-city economic development, intellectual property, and commercial litigation. A member of the Rutgers faculty since 1995, he teaches Torts; Business Torts and Intellectual Property; Community Economic Development; and Race, Literature, and Critical Theory. Professor Troutt is the author of several law review articles as well as the book The Monkey Suit – And Other Short Fiction on African Americans and Justice and the forthcoming novel, The Importance of Being Dangerous.

AXIS BATS Model EX-Tech 25 (73) Adult Wood Baseball Bat
Product Code: AX25
Availability: Custom Made To Order
Availability: Custom Made To Order
Price: $99.00
The 73 is based on the model Barry Bonds used originally created by Sam Bat. It's your basic big barrel power hitters bat but they added an extra-large flared knob. It acts like a counter balance making what would normally be an end loaded bat feel more balanced. Barry choked up 2-3 inches with this model to get the full effect of the counter weight, but we think 1 inch is fine so consider ordering it longer then you normally would. We recommend this model for more seasoned wood bat users.
|This bat is custom made to order and requires anywhere from 2 to 4 weeks to manufacture and deliver in most cases.
|Similar to a 73

Brockett thankful for chance to lead Chargers
EAST HARTFORD — Ansonia head coach Tom Brockett was beaming Monday while talking about his undefeated Chargers during the CIAC football luncheon at Rentschler Field.
Reaching the state final is getting to be common practice for Brockett, who will be guiding the Chargers to their sixth title game in his seven-year tenure.
Ansonia (13-0) plays North Branford on Saturday at 10:30 a.m. at Rentschler Field.
"I'm probably more excited now than when I was playing," said Brockett, a Wallingford native and 1995 Lyman Hall graduate and ex-quarterback. "Being at this venue is a thrill of a lifetime."
Brockett has enjoyed plenty of success in the big games, leading the Chargers to three state titles (2006, 2007, 2011), and has compilied an 84-7 overall record for a mindboggling .920 winning percentage.
How he got to this point is an interesting story, starting when he became the late legendary head coach Jack Hunt's offensive coordinator in 2001 after the Chargers narrowly lost to Derby in the season opener.
"It felt like I went from being the water boy to the offensive coordinator over night," said Brockett. "Jack knew that I was an option quarterback and knew that was my background. I don't know if it was ever easy because nothing in coaching is ever easy. But I was in my mid-20s and so young. I was a little naive and didn't have time to think about it. I don't things have slowed down since. Fortunately, I was surrounded by so many experienced coaches and I learned from all of them."
Especially Hunt, who lobbied for Brockett to be his successor when he stepped down from coaching after the 2005 season.
Hunt passed away Thanksgiving morning at age 67.
"Jack was a huge influence, and a great friend and mentor," said Brockett. "I was given a chance to learn from one of the all-time bests and that was a huge advantage for me."
Brockett joined Ansonia High as a teacher and volunteer coach just a year out of Southern Connecticut State University. Two years later, he was running the offense, featuring quarterback Kenny Tinney and fullback Ryan Thomas, two rising sophomores at the time.
Four years later, he became the man in charge and led the Chargers to two straight undefeated seasons with Ryan Thomas' brother, Alex Thomas becoming the state's all-time leading rusher.
Former Ansonia standout and ex-Stamford University player Steve Coughlin says the Chargers are fortunate to have Brockett. Coughlin has been on the staff since Brockett became head coach as the receivers and secondary coach.
"Thomas is fearless and determined," said Coughlin. "He refuses to give in to any situation. He's stubborn in a great way. He gives his coaches a lot of responsibility, but everyone still knows who the sheriff is. When he first started as an assistant, we all knew he'd get that gig. The entire staff knew that Jack was handing it off to him."
Kevin Rowley, Hunt's brother-in-law, also an assistant coach, said that all of the longtime assistant coaches, including John Sponheimer and Bob Lisi, the successor to legendary Ansonia head coach Bill McAllister in 1984-85), all agreed that Brockett was the ideal candidate run the offense.
"Once he did, the rest is history," said Rowley.
"Thomas is so focused in every facet of the game, and on top of everything that is going on," said Rowley. "No one is excused from the wrath of Thomas Brockett, not the coaches, the players or someone who helps out the program. He's the boss and you don't argue with the boss. He may be younger, but he commands the respect of all of us."
Ansonia captain Andrew Matos said he has flourished thanks to Brockett.
"Every pregame speech he gives us is so motivational," said Matos. "He once told me that I was better than I thought I was and that gave me such a confidence boost. Every time I call him at night, he says he never sleeps. He's always watching film, always trying to find ways to get all of us better."
Brockett credits his family, expecally his wife, Nicole, for much of his success. They were married on July 3, 2006, two months before the first season of his head coaching career. The couple has two children, Alyssa Rose, 3, and Michael Vincent, just nine months old, born three months after the Chargers won the 2011 state title.
Now, Brockett goes for title No. 4 in his short, but incredible tenure.

Family Games: Sardines
Sardines is a fun family party game that reverses the old classic, Hide and Seek. All the kids close their eyes and count while one person hides. When the counting is completed (usually to about 25 is fine for this game) all the "Its" must begin the search. When one of the "Its" finds the hider, he or she doesn't say anything but quietly crawls into the hiding spot with the hider. The "It" who finds the player must wait until no one is nearby before crawling into the space with the hider because he or she doesn't want anyone else to find the spot.
High Score
To add a little more fun to Hide and Seek, you can play that all the people who are caught have to help "It" find the rest of the hiders—making the game a little more challenging for the hiders to get home.
Slowly the "Its" will start to disappear and the hiding place will become more and more cramped with hiders. Now you know why the game is called Sardines!
The game ends when the last of the "Its" finds the "sardines." By this point the last "It" will most likely just have to follow the sounds of giggles and squeals. It's not easy to keep quiet when you're all squished, uncomfortably, together.
The first "It" to find the hider gets to be the first hider in the next round.

I'm trying to identify the Location (lat/lon) and upstream area of every raster point that flows into the Arctic Ocean (there are a lot so it has to be fully automated). I'm starting with the following rasters:
- Flow Direction
- Accumlated Flow Area
My approach so far has been to use the above rasters to create a delineated basin shapefile. From there I was hoping I could use the shapefile to look at the Flow Accumulation Raster and identify the location of the maximum value in each basin. In terms of output, I just need a table that shows [Basin#, Longitude, Latitude, UpstreamArea] for every basin.
Any ideas or tips would be apreciated. [Note that I've already looked here but I don't know how to restrict the raster to only the area bounded by the polygons in the shapefile]
*Using: ArcGIS10, Python, etc.

Honeywell's UOP C4 Oleflex process will be used to convert refinery-derived isobutane to isobutylene, a valuable petrochemical used in the production of fuels and synthetic rubber. This is UOP's second C4 Oleflex process license in China. Financial terms of the agreement were not disclosed.
Honeywell's UOP said Wednesday that its Oleflex
process technology has been selected by China's Longgang
Chemical Co. to produce key ingredients for fuels and synthetic
The UOP C4 Oleflex process will be used to
convert refinery-derived isobutane to
isobutylene, a valuable petrochemical used in the production
of fuels and synthetic rubber, according to project officials.
This is UOP's second C4 Oleflex process license in
China. In addition to technology licensing, UOP will
provide basic engineering, catalysts, adsorbents, specialty
equipment and engineering for the project.
"As the demand for petrochemicals grows, especially in
China, producers are looking for ways to maximize product
yields while reducing production costs," said Pete Piotrowski,
senior vice president and general manager of UOP's process
technology and equipment business
"Honeywell's UOP technology will help China meet growing demand
efficiently and more profitably. This project is yet another milestone for
UOP's Oleflex technology, and we look forward to working with
Longgang Chemical."
Longgang will use Honeywell's UOP technology to process
175,000 tpy of mixed butane feedstock at its facility in
Dongying City, Shandong Province, China. The facility is
expected to start up in 2015.
The C4 Oleflex process uses catalytic
dehydrogenation to convert isobutane to isobutylene. Compared
with competing processes, the technology provides the lowest cash
cost of production, the highest return on investment and the
smallest environmental footprint, according
to company officials.

Engineers and designers are highly skilled individuals. Forcing them to enter design changes using tables, forms and spreadsheets is unproductive and uneconomical, and it increases the likelihood of human error—this is the way that most instrumentation software systems currently work. For too long, software vendors have denied engineers and designers the simple practicality of a graphical visual engineering interface with "drag and drop" capability and inbuilt intelligence, ensuring changes are automatically replicated into all the associated data and databases.

I am trying to find some information about the empire of King Dahir of India. For example, how much area did his empire constitute and where was it generally located? If anyone could also provide a map that might indicate some of this information, that would be particularly helpful.
Just from researching the subject on Internet it is easy to see that the subject is very much charged with nationalist and politic agendas. Also if some detailed maps existed, exactly for the reign of Dahir they could not be undisputed, since there are obviously no scientific measures at that dates, also most of the historic references of Dahir are related to the Arab conquest and Dahir's defeat:
For example this book is saying:
Here you can find a map regarding that conquest in that timespan.
Same book as the link above:
I am sure you can find more if you research a real library. For example for Europe I saw atlases from a lot of periods, and and amazed at how often borders change in relatively few years after the fall of empires also in this case probably the fall of Gupta Empire.
Only this much I could help.
As the Wikipedia article itself says, King Dahir was the ruler of the Sindh, and some areas of Punjab, the territories that now lie in Pakistan.His capital was at Alor, which is now in Sind province of Pakistan. There are no maps showing the kingdom's borders, since they are not completely known till now.

Lifestyle Hazards to Avoid While Pregnant
In This Article:
Hazards at home and other common concerns
Many of us use chemicals daily in and around the home. In addition to personal products, such as bath oils, deodorants, and hairsprays, we also keep dozens of other substances around the home, including cleaning fluids, detergents, bleach, and air fresheners.
When products are used in accordance with the manufacturers' instructions, there is little chance of them causing harm in pregnancy. However, minute traces of chemicals can enter the bloodstream, either through the skin or by inhalation, and cross the placenta. While there is no hard evidence to show that this has an ill effect, it makes sense to minimize the chances of chemicals from reaching a developing baby.
When using products, wear rubber gloves to prevent skin contact and ventilate rooms. To avoid inhaling mists or vapors, choose nonaerosol products. Also, choose products recommended for their low environmental impact, which contain fewer chemicals. Where possible, use natural alternatives to chemicals.
Painting and decorating
It's important to stay safe while doing home projects. Don't climb up ladders or stand on tables to reach high places since your belly alters your center of balance. Also avoid skin contact or inhalation if you use oil-based paints; spray paints; paint strippers; floor varnishes; and sealant adhesives. Make sure rooms are well ventilated while decorating, and, ideally, get someone else to do the decorating.
Pets and infections
Certain infections that could harm the fetus can be picked up from pets. The parasitic infection toxoplasmosis is spread through contact with cat feces. It may produce flulike symptoms, or no symptoms at all, and many unknowingly acquire immunity through previous exposure. However, although it rarely happens, contracting toxoplasmosis for the first time in pregnancy can cause serious problems, such as miscarriage or birth defects. Other pets, such as dogs, caged birds, and turtles can carry salmonella bacteria. Salmonella infection doesn't directly harm the baby, but can make a pregnant woman ill.
Being scrupulous about hygiene helps you avoid such infections. Wear rubber gloves when handling a cat litter box, cleaning cages where animals are kept, or disposing of dog feces, then wash your hands (and the gloves) afterward. Wear gloves also for digging or weeding in case animals have defecated in the garden. Or get someone else to do these tasks.
Toxoplasmosis and salmonella can also be contracted from eating undercooked or raw meat or eggs, so be careful with kitchen hygiene and cooking (see Dietary precautions).
Common Worries
The radiation emitted by cell phones is "non-ionizing." This is not the same as the radiation received from X-rays, which can be harmful in large doses. There is no evidence to show that using a cell phone is a health risk to either you or your baby.
In the past there has been some debate about whether it's safe to swim in chlorinated pools during pregnancy. However, now most experts believe that swimming in chlorinated water does not pose any health risks for pregnant women and their developing babies. You may find that the smell of chlorine might add to your nausea if you are suffering from morning sickness, although this is less of a problem in an outdoor pool. Try not to swallow the water, and shower when you come out of the pool. Swimming has great benefits during pregnancy. It has a low risk of injury while providing a good cardiovascular workout and improving muscle tone, so don't be put off by unnecessary worries.
Nicotine is known to decrease the blood supply to the fetus. This could affect the baby's growth, especially in early pregnancy. Although tobacco substitutes such as patches, gum, and lozenges deliver less nicotine to your body than smoking, you should never use them without a doctor's advice. Ask your doctor for information on safer ways to beat cigarette and nicotine cravings.
