Being credit wise means playing it smart with not only credit cards, but store cards, phone bills, personal loans, lease agreements, cable bills, and even insurance payments. Understanding what it means to build build good credit, how to prevent fraud, and how to develop and stick to a budget -- whether you're starting out or starting over you, there's always something to learn when it comes to managing your finances.
The most common form of credit for students is credit cards. Credit cards are an important tool for achieving independence and financial freedom. When used wisely they can help you build the kind of good credit that makes it easier to reach your short and long-term goals – goals such as renting an apartment, buying a car, or even buying a house.
Being credit wise really just requires a little homework and some common sense. And just like studying any subject, the best place to start is with the basics. Here are Some Helpful Tips:

Hair stays longer in the growth phase during pregnancy, meaning that your scalp hair is likely to grow and thicken. Not so welcome is the fact that facial and body hair may also increase. After the birth, many women find that they suddenly lose a lot of hair as the growth phase stops. You should find that your hair is back to normal within six months.
Fingernails may also change, often becoming stronger, although some find that they become softer and brittle. Nails may develop white spots or transverse grooves, but these are rarely anything to worry about and don't mean that you're lacking in vitamins.
You can safely tweeze, wax, and shave new stray hair. Skin bleaching and hair removal creams are probably safe during pregnancy, but there has been insufficient research to clear them since they can be absorbed through the skin and their effects on the baby are unknown. Permanent hair-removal techniques, such as laser and electrolysis, are thought to be safe in pregnancy. Both techniques penetrate the skin no deeper than a few millimeters. Consult your doctor to see if this is okay.
Tretinoin belongs to a group of medications called retinoids that contain vitamin A and may be associated with birth defects. Studies have looked at the effects of this cream in pregnancy and have found that babies whose mothers used it, even in the first trimester, had no increase in birth defects. However doctors recommend avoiding tretinoin cream in pregnancy. Another similar medication, isotretinoin, which is taken orally, may increase the risk of birth defects and is therefore contraindicated in pregnancy.
Although the research into the safety of hair dyes if used in the first trimester may seem conflicting, the amount of chemicals used is small and it's unlikely that hair dyes cause harm. Also, if your hairdresser uses foil, the dye is kept off your skin.
Previously, women were encouraged to remove nail polish before surgery. One of the reasons was that the "pulse oximeter," a device attached to your finger to measure the oxygen in your blood during surgery, may give lower readings if placed over nail polish. However the device works as intended with nail polish or long nails if it's mounted sideways on a finger. Therefore there's no need to remove your polish.

Creating a UNIX account which only executes one command
I am trying to setup a user account that only has as minimal rights as possible.
The user should be able to log in via SSH and then use the "su" command to get root access BUT nothing else.
Is this even possible? So no basic commands like "cd", "ls" or "mkdir" should be available! The user should only be able to see one empty folder and then be able to use the "su" command to get full system access of the real OS (if chroot is used to achieve this).
Any ideas how this could be achieved?
Thanks in advance!

The Hudson Whiskey range boasts the first legally distilled and aged grain spirits produced in New York since Prohibition! Fantastic in itself, Tuthilltown Spirits' craft distillery (yep, another one – we love 'em!) charm certainly runs deeper than this single fact, with its very existence oweing much to fate and circumstance. Its success however is owed only to hard work and the high quality of what they have managed to create in the past few years.
When Ralph Erenzo bought Tuthilltown Gristmill and the 35 acres that surrounded it, distilling was far from the professional climber's thoughts. Originally, he had dreamt of creating the perfect climber's paradise: a ranch that would act as a base camp for those wishing to scale the cliffs at nearby Shawangunk Ridge.

MADISONVILLE, Ky. (AP) — The second suspect in the slaying of a western Kentucky couple has entered a guilty plea.
The Messenger reports 27-year-old Dustin McKinney entered the plea Friday in Hopkins Circuit Court to charges of murder, complicity to commit murder and burglary.
Prosecutors have said McKinney and Eddie Goodnight went to the home of Lynn and Mary Ann Moore, an elderly and disabled couple, to steal prescription pills and guns. While there, prosecutors say the men also killed the couple.
McKinney said he fatally shot Lynn Moore.
Prosecutors say Goodnight agreed to a similar plea deal about a week ago.
The newspaper cited the plea agreements in reporting both men would have to serve at least 20 years in prison before being eligible for parole.

Renovations on the Sterlington middle gymnasium have now been completed and the gym has top-of-the-line amenities from the ceiling to the floor. And every instructional classroom has been equipped with smart board technology.
Chris Cox, SMS principal, said the gym renovations costed over $2 million and thanks the financial aid of some athlete's parents in helping equip the weight room.
"We have not yet received the weight equipment, but we will have it before school begins," Cox said. "It is a beautiful facility that the community can be proud of."
As for the smart boards in the classroom, Cox said that every classroom in Ouachita Parish now has one or will soon.
"The smart boards have touch screens and Internet access," he said. "Teachers can pre-develop their lessons, show videos and use already prepared lesson plans through collaboration. Students can also use the touch screen to work problems and solve equations."
Cox said he encourages teachers to use online Twitter accounts to access other professionals in order to collaborate and branch out.
David Parks, SMS athletic director, said the parents of some of the athletes are to thank for some of the weight room equipment.
Cox said there has been a "financial crunch" lately in the school systems that spurred Parks to approach football players parents and ask for financial help.
Budget constraints not only compelled Parks to ask for financial help, but Cox said he was forced to "let go of" two employees due to the Ouachita Parish school system cuts."Every school in the parish had to make two to six personnel cuts," he said. "It was very painful for me."
Because of the financial hurdles, Parks and another coach asked parents for support.
"Coach Parks and Coach Gay approached our football parents and told them we were in a bind and the parents came through," he said. "It was amazing and humbling to see."Sometimes you don't know how much people appreciate you until you give them the opportunity to show it. And they certainly did."

8 Awesome Cases of Internet Vigilantism
#4. Zhang Ya Pisses Off China
Have you ever experienced a large scale national disaster and thought to yourself "goddamn death and destruction, why aren't people paying attention to me?" and then gone on to post a video with similar sentiments on the Internet? Did you also express joy at the deaths of some of the victims and wish they had died sooner, while claiming some of the survivors were too unattractive to be on TV and lamenting that the news coverage was preventing your favorite shows from airing?
Do people often call you a douchebag? You may be Zhang Ya, a Chinese girl with apparently nothing even remotely close to common sense or decency.
It was after the Siuchan earthquake in 2008, when Zhang made what amounts to a YouTube video bitching about how the earthquake and all its victims were really ruining her day. This in turn lead to an epic scale shitstorm of angry fallout with the video being posted and reposted across the Internet and angry responses jammed with what was probably some extremely creative Chinese cursing.
The girl was eventually arrested and held in custody for three days after personal information was posted online (and in such detail that people even knew her blood type). Some websites say she was brought in for protection from the massive mob of angry Chinese bloggers, while other sites claim she was arrested for what she posted, citing some Chinese laws about defamation and endangering public stability.So, that kind of adds another dimension to the whole Internet flame war thing, doesn't it? Piss enough people off in a video blog and suddenly you're in some forced labor camp making lead-painted toys.
Is this what Chinese justice looks like? Honestly, we have no idea.
#3. Alan Ralsky: Spamming the Spam King
If you love email spam, you can thank Alan Ralsky. He started spamming back before anyone knew what spam was, in the late 90s. By 2001, he managed to push so much shit through the Verizon servers he shut them down, leading to a lawsuit from Verizon.
That lawsuit was settled and by 2002, Ralsky was rolling in enough dick enlargement cream cash to buy a $750,000 mansion. He continued spamming, using a database of 250 million names, charging companies to send out their shit e-mails for them. Up to 70 million a day, by his own admission.
As with all great assholes, the taint of arrogance was right around the corner, under the ballsack of stupidity. Ralsky, smug and potentially borderline retarded, did an interview with the Detroit News in which he seemed quite pleased with himself and the legal way he was doing business.
Readers didn't find things as amusing as he did and when the interview was posted on Slashdot, some people went out of their way to find the address to his new home, which they then posted. The result was Ralsky being signed up to every hardcopy mailing campaign people could find.
Snail mail, as the kids call it, started arriving at Ralsky's mansion by the truckload. Literally by the truckload, as tons of it was delivered to his house each and every day. Ralsky's reaction was to complain that he was being harassed and was going to sue. This lead to massive bouts of laughter and an unprecedented level of not giving a shit. But at least the man won't have to leave home to do his Christmas shopping.
#2. The Youtube Cat Abusers
For some reason, the information age tends to make assholes want to go global. By, for instance, abusing a cat on camera and posting it on YouTube.
When a 14-year-old kid decided he'd post his own cat torture video, he probably didn't foresee the massive response he'd get once it spread across the Internet, leaving YouTube and heading to places like 4chan and other corners of Hell where the foolish are punished for their glaring webcam indiscretions. There, the denizens that some call "Internet detectives" and that we call "tentacle child porn enthusiasts" tracked the abuser down through his Facebook and MySpace accounts, because assholes are also generally not bright enough to not wallpaper the Internet with their own photos and personal information.
The result of Anonymous's detective work is that there appeared an entire website devoted to the teen, including his picture, links to the videos he made, the names of his parents, their addresses, phone number (as well as work addresses and numbers) and the website address of his father's business, which is now strangely absent from the Internet.
In a curious twist, the use of gay fan fiction also came into play, on websites that review the father's business, featuring such charming passages as "Tito was naked, standing in front of him with a big Hawaii boner staring him in the face. 'As the ancient Hawaiians used to say... it's time for a dicking!'"
The news media caught wind of the story, and then local police started getting inundated with calls from all around the world. Businesses in town got the same treatment including a number that weren't involved in any way due to the wrong information being spread online. Oddly, the police response to this was to politely ask people to stop as they might "stalk the wrong person."
The cat was taken out of the home. The abuser and his brother (also in the video) were charged by the local cops.
Debate rages to this day as to whether Anonymous went too far, since they tend to not apply this much righteous rage or sympathy to actual human beings. But then there is the case of Chris Forcand...
#1. Chris Forcand vs. Anonymous
The Internet gets a bad rap for being the refuge of the socially maladjusted and sexually deviant (wait, can something still be considered a "bad rap" if it's true?). But when you get cases like that of Chris Forcand, you realize that sometimes one type of deviant can rise up to fight another.
Forcand, a Canadian who resembles George the Animal Steele, was on MSN trying to solicit sex, panties and dirty pictures from what he believed was a teenage girl.
Instead, he was flirting with our friends Anonymous. This in turn lead to not only an amusing Encylopedia Dramatica page, but actual real world consequences.
Forcand's life was picked apart. Transcripts and photos from his conversations were forwarded to his church and posted on his Christian blog along with his contact info.
Finally the police got involved, setting up their own sting operation, ironically using the same technique as Anonymous. The result was Forcand being arrested in what was described as the first time an Internet predator was ever brought to justice through Internet vigilantism, at the hands of a group that only approves of child molestation when it's being done by an anime tentacle monster, and in other special circumstances where they find it amusing.

'Til the Supreme Court Do Us Part
The Justices are rightly wary of redefining marriage for 50 states.
The Supreme Court wrapped up its second day of oral argument on a pair of gay marriage cases Wednesday, and Justices on the left and right seemed genuinely discomfited by the radicalism of redefining the institution for all 50 states. The more than three hours of questioning proved the wisdom of such caution.
America's cultural and media elites are attempting to browbeat the High Court into coercing the country into recognizing same-sex marriage by casting opponents as bigots for holding a position that President Obama held less than a year ago. This bigotry label apparently applies even to those who favor gay marriage but would rather settle the matter democratically, state to state. So it's reassuring that the Justices seemed to be searching for constitutional answers equal to the difficult questions.
Related Videos
Toward this end, the defenders of traditional marriage did not always make their best case. Defending California's Proposition 8 that defined marriage as between a man and a woman, Counsel Chuck Cooper explained that the main state interest in this definition is "procreation." But then why are older men and women still allowed to marry, asked Justice Elena Kagan, and why are gay and lesbian couples allowed to adopt? Good questions.
Mr. Cooper would have done better to explain that if the High Court says states must honor gay marriages, then what is an enforceable limiting principle? As Justice Sonia Sotomayor put it, "If you say that marriage is a fundamental right, what state restrictions could ever exist?" She asked about limits on "the number of people" in a marriage, for example, and with the exception of incest or child marriages, wondered "what's left" for the states to regulate?
Counsel Ted Olson replied that "multiple marriages raise questions about exploitation, abuse, patriarchy"—but what about polyandry, one wife with several husbands? Or term-limited marriages? Instead of a lasting contract, people who don't want to commit could sign a marriage lease, receiving marriage benefits for a period of years before the union would automatically dissolve without even a no-fault divorce.
Our point is not to raise a parade of unlikely horribles. It is that for the Court to transform the definition of marriage for one group fundamentally restructures it for all groups and makes it harder for society through its representatives to rule out anything that adults want to call "marriage."
Wednesday's arguments about federalism and the 1996 Defense of Marriage Act (Doma) were more instructive, thanks largely to Paul Clement. The dean of the right-leaning Supreme Court bar spoke for the House of Representatives in favor of a law signed by Bill Clinton that President Obama calls unconstitutional but his Administration is still enforcing.
Justice Anthony Kennedy suggested that Doma was an attempt by Congress to "regulate" marriage, which under the Constitution is a core state police power. This reflects Justice Kennedy's well-earned reputation for supporting state authority against federal intrusion. (The sudden concern for federalism shown by the four liberal Justices is harder to credit given their disdain only a year ago in the ObamaCare cases.)
Mr. Clement responded to Justice Kennedy that Doma merely defined marriage for the purposes of federal law, such as Social Security benefits. After the Hawaii supreme court had legalized gay marriage and upset the traditional definition, Congress in 1996 naturally adopted a uniform rule for federal benefits but allowed the states to debate and adapt to changing social mores.
Justice Kennedy said this might be fine if it held for a statute or two, but Doma applies across 1,100 or so federal laws "intertwined with the citizens' day-to-day life." Mr. Clement's key point was that Doma's traditional definition of marriage was rational in a specific context at a specific time and even today remains the law in 41 states. Congress can always change Doma later as more states adopt gay marriage, so this way-station makes sense as the social consensus evolves.
Chief Justice John Roberts put the question crisply the other way when he asked Solicitor General Donald Verrilli if Congress would have violated state powers if in 1996 it had instead adopted same-sex marriage at the federal level? Mr. Verrilli conceded it would not have violated federalist principles, thus supporting Mr. Clement's case.
It's hard to predict the outcome of cases based on oral arguments, especially when they are as fraught with as many unknown social and legal implications as these. But the complications are another argument for the Court to rule as narrowly as possible, deferring as much as possible to democratic debate. The Justices can help the Constitutional system, the country's political temper and the Court's reputation by letting the people decide how to define the core family unit of society.

I'll harken once more to that standing premise that I don't know what I am talking about. I don't believe I am ready to argue for a specific policy or reform. But it's graduation season, the time for caps and gowns and commencement speeches. The President was in the area last week attending such a ceremony. So it is that the ideas and actualities of education in this day and age got turning in my cranial rock tumbler and got stuck upon a word: excellence.
"Excellence in education" �words that combines neatly on the tongue. It's a banner sentiment that flies on just about everybody's flag pole. Who on earth could ever be against excellence in education? But as is my wont, when I hear that turn of phrase I unpack the meaning in each of the words and I find myself asking "well… excelling who?"
When politicians talk about education, one of the values they claim to see in schooling is the equipment it offers the average American to get ahead. I start thinking of the down side of grading on a curve.
I might be a little glib and, as I said, I am not sure how this speculation leads to practical policy, but get serious for a moment I think there is something of spiritual importance I might be scratching at. One of the post/threads we had going the other day was on the sky rocketing costs of education. Could it be that one of the contributing factors to the dollar values going haywire is that we've mistaken the actual value of education, information, knowledge, wisdom? This could be another of those problem cases where we tell ourselves we want for a freedom from want, but just a little more than the next guy.
I remember a while back when the movie "Finding Superman" was all the rage for the reform minded. "Schools should be run like businesses" was the mantra coming out of that one, that banner sentiment of excellence. I recall how saddened I was by the case study families that were all so desperate for their children to have better educations, better worlds, better than they had. The dream was escape from the life and the environment that they knew. Who did they want to excel? Their neighbors. Themselves.
I guess I question the wisdom of this model.
I'll close with this anecdote I came across years ago browsing in a bookstore years ago. The story described this Native American who had learned a great deal about the Gospel courtesy of proselytizing missionaries who had tried and tried to convert him, promising heaven and eternal salvation. On his death bed he'd been offered once more and his reply was that although this Jesus they told him of seemed wise and good and the promise of this place heaven seemed nice, his ancestors who'd gone before him, the many without salvation, would be lonely for him.

Professor Paul Tractenberg Looks Internationally for Education Reform Models
Rutgers School of Law–Newark professor Paul Tractenberg, an authority on education law and policy, has begun a year-long sabbatical to carry out an international comparative study of education reform processes. The study will take him to three countries and four universities — the University of Toronto, Tel Aviv University, Haifa University, and the University of Helsinki — where he will be a visiting scholar at the schools of law and education. While in Tel Aviv, he will give the keynote at a conference, supported by the U.S. Embassy in Israel, on education law and policy.
Professor Tractenberg's study is backed in part by the Miller Family International Initiative, which was established by alumnus Paul S. Miller '62, a retired pharmaceutical industry executive, to support international opportunities and policy research at Rutgers School of Law–Newark as well as faculty and student exchanges. As the first Miller Family International Initiative Scholar, Tractenberg will study high-performing school districts and identify how elements of their success can be brought back to Newark and other urban school districts. To be eligible for the support, the faculty member must pursue a project that will result not only in a written report but in a practical application of the findings at the end of his/her leave abroad.
Tractenberg is a Board of Governors Distinguished Service Professor and Alfred C. Clapp Distinguished Public Service Professor of Law. He is the author of numerous publications on education law; a frequent lecturer; and, over the years, a consultant and adviser to national, regional, and state organizations and agencies. He contributed a lengthy chapter on Abbott v. Burke and school funding equalization litigation for the new book Courting Justice: Ten New Jersey Cases That Shook the Nation (Rutgers University Press), which he edited. In 2000, he established and continues to serve as co-director of the Institute on Education Law and Policy, an interdisciplinary research project at Rutgers–Newark. The institute's projects explore such policy issues as school governance, school choice, accountability, funding, and shared services.
In its latest endeavor, the institute is working with the Elizabeth, New Jersey public schools on a comprehensive approach to improving the success of the systems' schools and students. The initiative is modeled in part on the institute's Newark Schools Research Collaborative, whose mission is to provide independent research into what works in raising academic achievement for children in Newark public and charter schools.

Very true
Here's our list of failed release show stoppers. We haven't upgraded since August 2012. Some only on IE 8 others cross browser. I'm questioning the wisdom of continuing to put our resources into EXTJS.
extjs 4.1.2 - currently in production
extjs 4.1.3 - dynamically created accordion panel has all panels uncollapsed
extjs 4.2.0 - SSL alert for IE 8 on every page refresh
extjs 4.2.1 - Could only activate a menu by clicking on its text, not the blank area around it
extjs 4.2.2 - getEditor() method is missing from column class - still testing this though but works in 4.1.2
extjs 4.2.3 - ??????-->

It feels like a hacker's framework, as long as you can hunt through the internals, it can be made to work. I loved doing that in 3.x but can no longer afford to do that anymore. My clients need new features, they do not pay me to work on the framework to fix issues.
Perhaps ExtJS is good for corporate licenses or partners, but its pretty frustating for individual developers. I would pay good money for a UI framework without the shenanigans of paywalled bug fixes and minor release breaking changes. Seriously, has the Sencha team even tried to look from the point of view of individual developers?-->
11 Oct 2013 12:04 AM #74
I'm totally sure that Sencha developers are quality developers (Don, Nige, Evan, etc.), it is self-evident that this is not the point, even if I should also say that Sencha has lost some really good developers (like Ed and others, this is really bad).
As pointed before, the real point is that we are sayng that Sencha is losing many community quality developers and it is obvious that you can't do all the job inside Sencha but you need Community to go on, who can disagree?
Some weeks ago I was so frustated with bugs with Ext.data module that I spent all the day (more than 8 hours of work by a senior developer) debugging your code, hacking internals as said by @sumit.madan, in only one day I did full report (with description, source code, example, etc.) of 4 verified and classified bugs (you can dig bug forum to verify). Then I realized that at 90% I'll not receive the bugfixed version, I double checked this because I could not believe that Sencha will not share bugfix with me, a community developer who reported the bug!
After that, I decided to make my patches on my own, and I will not report any bug until Sencha changes this absurd politic. I'm sure that many other developers did the same decision, as we can read on this thread, and I think that it is quite obvious that for this reason ExtJS 4 is slowing down. By my experience, if Sencha does not change its mind, it will be soon passed over by some other framework (worse than ExtJS) but more community-friendly.
If I spend time writing down here, it is because I like ExtJS and Sencha and I'm worried about, and I think that @mitchellsimoens should not reply with his questionable sentences.
I like @LisburnLad proposal but I think it is quite difficult to become real.-->

Downloading 4.2.2
This is the first time I've tried to download a support-only version of ExtJS in a few years (4.2.2), and I'm having some troubles. I'd like to be able to download it directly to by server (via wget), but it appears I can't do that unless I'm actually "logged in" to support.sencha.com. Is there any way to do this from my server? I can download it locally, but I'd rather not need to upload a 65MB file from my computer to my server over my fairly slow internet.
(Also, after many minutes of searching on sencha.com, I was unable to find a link to the Support area. Only after remembering the URL was probably support.sencha.com was I able to log into it and even find the link to 4.2.2.)
I realize that Sencha's trying to lock non-paying users out of 4.2.2 (and I'll totally stay out of that discussion for now), but I really wish they didn't make it such a pain for paying customers to get it too.-->
16 Oct 2013 8:46 AM #76
Is Sencha waiting while this thread will be rated out? No comments from them at all...-->
16 Oct 2013 10:26 AM #77
You should have looked harder.
Sencha employees have been actively responding to this thread and the many others like it. What usually ends up happening, however, is that the discussion stops being about productive criticism and starts being about complaining and ranting. There's nothing Sencha can say at that point, so it's better for everyone to just let that "conversation" wind down on its own.
If anyone wants their concerns to be heard in official capacity (not to say the forums aren't official), there's a perfectly good Contact Form for just this purpose.-->
16 Oct 2013 12:08 PM #78
This thread served the purpose of inquiring the progress of 4.2.2. Now as 4.2.2 has been rolled out, I think further discussions started to be off topic. I understand there are a lot of things we can talk about Extjs, however, I would suggest they will be discussed in separate and more relevant threads. Therefore I will close this thread as the purpose of this thread, as the subject suggested, has been met now.
Finally I would like to appreciate the great efforts by Sencha developers to roll out the usable version of 4.2.2.
Best regards,

The in-game manual for ADOM is massive, and I don't see anything on the main screen that resembles a hunger stat. How do I know when I should start eating all these corpses and foodstuffs I'm piling up?
The above answer is wrong, and there is a significant downside to being Satiated and Bloated, namely -5 speed for each of them (i.e. -10 speed when bloated). It also decreases your DV somewhat.
Also, if you reach Starving!, you will die in 100-150 turns depending on the toughness stat.
There are five different hunger indicators:
So if you're managing to pile up lots of food, eat! The only downside to Bloated is if you find a corpse that grants an ability you want (ie. troll, blink dog, etc.). You'll have to wait to digest before you can eat it and gain the ability.

What is the source of the Magen Dovid (Star of David) in Rabbinic Judaism?
When was it first used, and for what?
What is the source of the Magen Dovid (Star of David) in Rabbinic Judaism?
When was it first used, and for what?
source: Wikipedia
Gershom Scholem has an essay entitled "The Star of David: History of a Symbol", in The Messianic Idea in Judaism (New York: Schocken Books, 1995), 257-281. In this essay, he chronicles the development of different theories that accounted for its origin (in David's shield, in Solomon's signet ring, etc), its usage in Christian and Islamic art and its frequent appearance (even in Jewish art) alongside either the Hindu swastika or the pentagram.
So far as its actual origins are concerned, it first appears about 600 BCE on the seal of a certain Yehoshua ben Asaiah, and is not again attested until the 2nd or 3rd century CE, when it appears alongside a swastika in a synagogue in Capernaum. There is a flourishing of usage in the Middle Ages, though particularly in what Scholem terms "magical" texts - texts like Sefer Raziel, from which the previous contributor added a picture.
Subsequent to its magical development was its kabbalistic development (a distinction that I am not clear about, but which Scholem does explain elsewhere), though this appears to have been something that came about after the 16th century and that was subsequently retrojected onto the writings of the Arizal - particularly in terms of reconfiguring his layout of the Seder Plate, erev Pesach.
The real flourishing in the use of this symbol is architectural, and Scholem mentions examples of its usage on gates, in windows and as part of synagogue (and church!) adornments. He concludes by noting its being adopted by the Zionists at such a time as it was beginning to be entirely divested of any real meaning, but then closes on a more chilling note:
R' Moshe Feinstein wrote in Igros Moshe (O"Ch 3:15) that:
One of my (non-Jewish) childhood friends was interested in magic and the Kabbalah. I remember reading in a book of his that the normal and inverted triangles in the Shield of David represent elemental Fire and Water, and that their combination in the symbol represented peace between opposing forces. (Brings to mind עוֹשֶׂה שָׁלוֹם בִּמְרוֹמָיו...)
I mention this merely as a cute idea I have encountered, and give it minimal credence.

Is there a way to determine in SQL Server if a view is no longer being used? (without removing it) Ideally i would like to know usage for SQL Server 2000 as well as 2012 if that is possible.
I am upgrading databases and suspect that many of the views are no longer being used, some of the views will be difficult to compile on the new server as they access multiple databases some of which are not being moved to the new server.

Law School Mourns the Death of the Honorable Morris Stern '65
Rutgers School of Law–Newark mourns the passing of one its most distinguished alumni, the Honorable Morris Stern '65, United States Bankruptcy Judge for the District of New Jersey.
"Mickey was our graduate, our faculty colleague, and above all our wonderful friend, and we will all miss him terribly," said Acting Dean Ronald K. Chen '83. "Our hearts go out to his wife, Ronnie, and his children and grandchildren."
University Professor and former dean Peter Simmons, a long-time friend of Judge Stern, noted: "Mickey (in 35 years I never heard anyone call him 'Morris') Stern was one of our most memorable colleagues at the law school. A long-time teacher of commercial law and bankruptcy before he went on the bench, his classes were among our most popular electives, and his brilliance, practical wisdom and grace earned respect and appreciation from all who knew him. Those who believe that the law is both a learned and human profession have lost a true friend and leader."
Before assuming the bench, Judge Stern was both a full-time member of the Law Faculty and in full-time practice, and since then had continued to teach courses in Commercial Law and Bankruptcy Law as an adjunct lecturer. In 2011, Judge Stern presented the annual Allan Axelrod Lecture, and over the years he was a frequent participant in various law school seminars and pro-bono activities – most recently in the school's Bankruptcy Project in which volunteer attorneys work with students to provide pro bono bankruptcy representation for low-income individuals.

The 7 Most Badass Man vs. Beast Showdowns
If there is one thing we all know, it is that we are at the top of the food chain but by the grace of God. All around us are animals that are more powerful, more vicious and generally way more badass. But not all humans go down without a fight; some people look these creatures of certain doom in the eye, flex their muscles and say, "Let's do this."
#7. Pit Bull vs. Jiu-Jitsu
The Showdown
There comes a time in every young boy's life where he must make a choice: Live a quiet, 9-5, soul-crushing life like the vast majority of us do, or take the road less traveled to the Land of the Badass. Nine year-old Drew Heredia left no doubts about how he would answer this question.
By doing this. This was his answer.
The fateful decision came one day as Drew was helping a friend walk her dog. Out of nowhere, a pit bull wrought of pure incandescent rage came charging towards them in full attack mode (we like to believe a smoke machine and some amount of pyrotechnics were involved).
Initially the pit bull attacked the girl's smaller dog, but the worst possible course of action in the history of the world unfolded as the girl tried to separate the two dogs, soon escalating the situation from "two dogs fighting" to "a little girl getting eaten by a dog."
As his lady friend got chomped on by the pit bull, Drew decided it was dog-stomping time and applied a Brazilian Jiu-Jitsu chokehold. That's right: He choked the dog out.
Crane Kick? Pussy.
Sure a pit bull is the smallest animal we have on this list, but we aren't going to hold that against Drew because his act was so fucking awesome he should, upon reaching adulthood, be awarded a medal made of blowjobs.
Just imagine that this picture was a medal, and those kittens were blowjobs. Awesome.
#6. Anaconda Don't Want None
The Showdown
There is a lesson to the following story: There are some places where you should never let your children play, regardless of how much you hate them. In Brazil, that location is simply any place where the local predatory creatures can turn you into a Lunchables meal with feet.
Like this, with feet.
Mateus Araujo soon realized the wisdom in such logic when, while playing with friends in a local creek, he started to feel a very tight hug around his body (this is the one time where turning around to find it's a naked man in clown makeup would've been a relief).
This very unlucky eight-year-old found himself on a one way ticket to the food chain at the non-hands of one of South America's top predators, a 16-foot-long Anaconda--or as it is known in the rest of the world: "That snake that ate Jon Voight".
The anaconda, pictured here during its morning exercise routine.
In any other story this would've been the end, but fortunately for Mateus, his grandfather Joaquim was near, and the 66-year-old man had the perfect tools for some Anaconda slaying: a rock, and knife. Ole Pappy Pereira threw down on the slithering horror, smacking him upside the head for half an hour.
Finally the Anaconda cried, "No Mas!" and let Mateus go, slinking away to join the ranks of Anacondas humiliated by humans. Sorry big, scaly fella, it wasn't your day, but at least you didn't lose to Jennifer Lopez and a washed up rapper.
Badass Rating: 7/10
First, the man was 66-years old, an age where most folks are in retirement homes complaining about how their kids don't call them anymore. Second, consider that he wound up "beating" the snake instead of stabbing it, even though we know he had a knife on him. We like to think that at the sight of the blade the snake called him a coward, at which point the man tossed it aside and said, "I don't need no fucking knife to turn your ass into a pair of boots!" Then he picks up the biggest rock he can find and said, "It's ironic that you already got the munchies, because now you about to get stoned."
"Oh, this is lovely. Say, how many snakes do you think I can kill with this?"
#5. Moose Are Ax-Proof
The Showdown
A Norwegian man named Salvesen was wandering in the woods alone one October morning, presumably in search of the rest of his name. What he found instead was a bull moose, glowing with white hot person murdering anger.
Pictured: Something that doesn't look like it can't beat you to death.
The moose charged at Salvesen, who dove behind some trees. He raised his ax and smashed one of the moose's legs, snapping the bone. Deciding it was time to "take the belt off," the moose hit Salvesen with its horns, badly bruising him, then tried to trample the man beneath its hoofs.
Salvesen, in no mood to run away, channeled the energy of his Viking ancestors and swung the ax into the moose's head, dropping it to the ground. He grabbed it by the horns to try and finish the job, but the moose drop kicked him like Chris Jericho and limped off into the woods to write an emotional LiveJournal account of the altercation.
Badass Rating: 7/10
Salvesen, with his cool-as-hell name and ax-wielding encounter with a rampaging moose, proves once and for all that everything awesome happens in Norway. Moose will kick your ass, but he boldly stood his ground and fought off a nigh-invulnerable opponent with nothing but a simple tool and the muscle memory of his forefathers. If they sold Viking blood on eBay, we would buy it by the gross and dump it into every Coke Zero we drink for the rest of our lives.
It could only improve the taste.
#4. A Man Fights a Bear for a Sandwich
The Showdown
Henry Rouwendal was packing his car up one night for a business trip the following morning, sharing his tranquil moonlit driveway with an Italian hoagie (his wife was inside, presumably shedding tears of jealous rage).
Pretty soon the kids will be calling it "mom."
Suddenly, the peaceful evening was shattered by a crushing blow to Henry's back. He crumpled forward to the ground and rolled over to see a black bear deflowering his beloved three meat ciabatta mistress.
Thinking quickly (and with the theme song from The Karate Kid Part Two flowing in his veins), he stomp kicked the bear in the face and neck until it retreated back into the darkness, hoagie in tow.
When asked to describe his assailant, Henry simply said, "He was smarter than the average bear."
Henry managed to crawl back to his front door in just a shade under an hour (the formula for travel after a bear attack is something like 10 minutes per foot for every inch of your ass the bear kicks). His wife, a nurse, tended to the extensive bruising and dislocated shoulder he had suffered, no doubt while the husband demanded she get him back into a shape that would let him plunge into the night to retrieve his sandwich.
Badass Rating: 5/10
There are two types of people in the world: Those who think a sandwich is something to fight a bear over, and those who do not. How badass this story is depends on which of those you are.
Either way, nobody can deny that it takes nards of steel to kick a bear in the face.
Look at that smug bastard.

Have you ever wished your iPhone would ring only when certain people call? Here's how to do it:
- Download the "Silence" ringtone here: silence.m4r
- Copy this file into the Ringtones section of your iTunes. (Click to enlarge.)
- Sync your iPhone with iTunes to load the ringtone.
- On your iPhone, change your ringtone to "Silence" (under Settings -> Sounds -> Ringtone). You'll no longer hear your phone calls.
- For each person whose calls you still want to hear, change his or her Custom Ringtone to something audible: Click the name in your contact list, choose Ringtone, then choose something besides Default
Now you can screen calls in your sleep. Because Sunday afternoons are for napping.
UPDATE (Apr 14, 2011): I haven't used it, but MrNumber.com appears to be an interesting service for identifying phone numbers belonging to telemarketers and blocking them.

Desperately Seeking Banksy
Fans of Banksy Are Scouring the City for His Distinctive Tags and Stencils
He's the talk of the town, but no one knows where—or who—he actually is.
Elusive British street artist Banksy started a stenciling spree across New York last week, using the walls of buildings as his canvases. And instead of being publicized, Banksy's graffiti has simply been discovered—and fans have then spread the whereabouts on social media.
The artist's website calls the project a "monthlong residency" in the city, stating: "For the next month Banksy will be attempting to host an entire show on the streets of New York."
He is calling his New York exhibition "Better Out Than In," a reference to a quote by the artist Paul Cézanne: "All pictures painted inside, in the studio, will never be as good as those done outside."
In his first week, Banksy tagged spots in Chelsea, the Lower East Side, the East Village, Bushwick, Williamsburg and Red Hook, drawing excited crowds to each piece.
On Monday, art lovers gathered in Red Hook to pose next to his latest work, a stencil of a heart-shaped helium balloon covered in Band-Aids at the intersection of King Street and Van Brunt, which he described on his website as "an iconic representation of the battle to survive a broken heart."
Fans who showed up there described a scavenger hunt of sorts to find Banksy's works.
"I was at IKEA and I saw this on Instagram," said Nick Papaleo, 34 years old, who is visiting the area from Maryland and photographed the stencil in heavy rains.
James Grundy, 25, a photographer, had tried and failed over the weekend to hunt down a delivery truck that Banksy outfitted as a mobile garden.
"I went to find it in the East Village but I missed it, so I came to see this," said Mr. Grundy, who lives in Alphabet City, adding: "Following his works will keep us busy."
Banksy, a pseudonym, keeps his identity shrouded in mystery and could not be reached for comment. His work has seen commercial success, with some artwork removed from buildings and sold at auction, while his 2010 documentary, "Exit Through the Gift Shop," was nominated for an Academy Award.
Because of the artist's anonymity, Banksy's works, which often feature political messages, are generally only authenticated when he has posts photos of them on his website (though it's not clear who operates the site). For his New York project, Banksy is also posting photos to Instagram under the name banksyny.
His website also includes a toll-free number and an online "Click here to listen" button with audio commentary, a spoof on the audio guides generally offered at museum exhibits.
Banksy began his rogue New York project on Oct. 1 with a stencil at 18 Allen St. on the Lower East Side. The piece featured a turn-of-the-century street urchin standing on another boy's back, reaching for a can of spray paint on a sign reading "graffiti is a crime."
The work quickly attracted onlookers. Within hours, though, other taggers had altered the work, and by Wednesday it had been painted over entirely.
A second work later appeared on West 25th Street between 10th and 11th avenues. In a classic graffiti font, the words "This is my New York accent" were written, followed by a line of neat cursive that read "…normally I write like this."
On Thursday, the rebel artist hit Chelsea again, this time on 24th Street between Sixth and Seventh avenues with a stencil of a dog urinating on a fire hydrant with the words "You complete me"—a spoof of a line famously uttered by Tom Cruise's character in the film "Jerry Maguire."
By Friday, Banksy gave a "makeover," as he described it on his website, to three pieces of random existing graffiti throughout the city by writing "the musical" under scrawlings such as "Playground Mob" and "Occupy!"
The artist has posted a photo of a stencil every day except Sunday, when instead he posted a YouTube video showing militants shooting Dumbo, the Disney cartoon elephant, with a rocket launcher.
Jennifer Hawkins, who runs Hawkins International public relations agency in Chelsea, said she enjoyed seeing Banksy's dog silhouette outside of her office last week—as well as watching the reactions of passersby.
"Graffiti is sort of a way of life here, so if you are going to have it, why not make it a little whimsical and a little fun?" she said. "It's a bit like a scavenger's hunt, and you can see how happy it makes people.

Defense Materials in Pentagon Terrorism Death Penalty Cases Mysteriously Deleted

Defense lawyers in Guantanamo war tribunals are upset over third party monitoring, document disappearance
They're the men allegedly behind some of the worst terrorist attacks on the U.S. As work at the
Guantanamo Bay prison facility
winds down, the Pentagon prepares to hold special war tribunals -- military trials -- for prisoners deemed too dangerous
to release
I. Defense Discovers Documents Delete, Smoke Alarms Were Really Mics
Those prisoners include five men responsible for helping plan the September 11 terrorist attacks. They also include Abd al Rahim al Nashiri, who masterminded an attack on the
USS Cole
during its deployment to Yemen, an attack that killed 17 U.S. sailors.
But the pretrial hearings, which were supposed to start this week in some cases may be delayed due to allegations of foul play,
according to
What appeared to be smoke alarms in client meeting rooms were really disguised microphones.

Defense lawyers for several of the suspects, who face the death penalty say they have evidence that their emails and internet searches were monitored by third parties. And they say documents involved with the case began to disappear from their assigned Pentagon computers in February.
Navy Commander Walter Ruiz represents Mustafa al Hawsawi, who is alleged with funneling funding for the 9/11 attacks. Ruiz states, "three to four weeks' worth of work is gone, vanished."
Aside from deletions, there was also evidence that prosecutors ordered system administrators to grant them access to 500,000 files on defense lawyers machines, files which included confidential attorney-client communications. The Guantanamo detention camp's legal advisor also revealed that device that appeared to be smoke alarms in rooms where defense attorneys met with their clients were really microphones; but don't worry -- he claimed no conversations between the lawyers and their clients were recorded.
II. Human Rights Watchers: Trial "is a Sham"
International human rights watchdog group
Human Rights First
blasted the latest developments as "absolutely outrageous". Its expert on the current proceedings -- Daphne Eviatar comments, "This is just further evidence that the military commission system is a sham and that all terrorism trials should be held in real U.S. federal courts on U.S. soil, where the rules are clear, defendants' rights are respected and the verdicts will have credibility."
Human rights watchers have complained that the Guantanamo Bay proceedings are a sham.

The issues have been so severe that Colonel Karen Mayberry has advised the defense lawyers to stop storing case documents on Pentagon machines. James Connell, a defense attorney for Ali Abdul Aziz Ali (aka Ammar al-Baluchi) -- the other alleged 9/11 plot funding funneler -- comments "I'll be filing a handwritten motion very shortly to ask for an abatement of the proceedings."
Given the extraordinary and unusual circumstances Army Colonel James Pohl -- the presiding judge in the trials -- has already delayed the pre-trial hearings of al Nashiri till June and is considering pushing the death penalty trial for the 9/11 conspirators as well.
Until February the preliminary hearings were being broadcast to the public and media via a closed circuit. But the judge in February ordered those feeds cut, around the same time the alleged harassment of defense lawyers began.

RE: Kill these guys already!!
You are missing the point and not looking beyond the end of your historical nose.
The things is, Iraq's may well be glad that US troops freed them from Saddam. The thing is, he was the same Saddam that America and the west supported for so long.. Iraq is a country that has been manipulated by the west, by the British, a long time before Sadam and the USA's involvement too.
The same with Vietnam, and I don't think that America fighting communism there was a bad thing (even though it was a messy affair) but the thing is, who had been meddling there before hand? Yep, the French, another western power interfering for it's own ends, weakening the country for it's own good, then abandoning it when the going got tough.
Iran, a country who's regime we in the west toppled in the past, only to find that it only made matters worse in the long run and (arguably) caused, or at least encourage/added to, the more extreme nature of the current regime.
We like to think that these countries have always been backwards places that needed our "civilising" by cruise missile, but until we came along and weakened regimes for our own ends (as well as to stop the spread of communism, so sometimes with the best of intentions) they were just countries that had a different religion. It wasn't until we came aiong and intefered that things became more polarised and extreme, as they had something to react against.
Many people also forget that one of the main things that Al Qaeda actually wanted was for the USA to close their bases in Saudi Arabia and stop interfering in the region, and not because they support the regimes in the region, because most didn't like Al Qaeda or their ilk either. It's not because they want Sharia law in your home town, as we're often led to believe, it started out that they just didn't want the west interfering any more in their home lands.
And please don't get me wrong. I don't think that everything that the west or the USA has ever done on the global stage is/was evil. The problem is, even when we interfere with the best of intentions, then there are often unexpected consequences and we rarely think about how it must feel to eb living in these countries.
And we do need to get involved sometimes. I'm not saying it's black and white. Always good to get involved, or always bad so we never should. But if we are going to keep on doing what we do and try to police the world, we need to be doing so by maintaining the highest standards, rather than stooping to the terrorists standards and just killing people we capture and say are terrorists without trial, as that will only make our enemies stronger, and put our soldiers at even greater risk too, as well as making use morally weaker too.

Handicap individual trying to use this model
By sowhattoo
from Grand Prairie, TX, United States
Comments about GE 30" JBP15DMWW White Free-Standing Electric Range:
The lack of a oven temperature and a timer does not make for a good ADA compliant article. A handicap person needs as much help as they can get and a ringing bell is much better than standing in front of the oven to see when the oven has hit 350 deg.
Bottom Line No, I would not recommend this to a friend

I got a great product
By Leonsongbird
from Leon, IA 50144, USA
I bought this range because I wanted an oven that would bake, broil, roast and stew, and could clean itself when I was done, and this oven does all that! The temperature is perfectly adjusted for cakes, pies, breads, pulled pork - whatever I want to make and it all comes out perfectly. The controls are right in front (as I have no small children, that's a plus for me) so I'm not reaching across hot burners to make adjustments, and the oven door window and inside light make it beautifully easy to watch as your creation comes to fruition. It has no clock or timer, but I didn't need them as I have a kitchen timer and clock. As to stovetop, the burners are very quick heating and adjust quickly if you need to lower temps. I can get 4 quarts of water to a full boil in 6-10 minutes. I am really glad I decided on this appliance -- it meets all my needs!
Bottom Line Yes, I would recommend this to a friend
Simple is great

Great! I needed some new labels! Just remember that to use most Staples coupons you need a rewards membership.
not for this coupon, you don't need a rewards card. they send this type to your email even if you just bought something online w/out card. also this type (6 digit code) can be used over and over. we use to hold on to them and tell customer you get an extra $5 off if you get the protection plan, very shady.

what is the best trilogy of all time?
ill start
Back to the future
39 Answers answer
Lord of the Rings.
Origins star wars, followed by the Indiana Jones trilogy. There were only three. Really.
@moondrake: Beat me to it. Definitely LOR.
We can't nominate Star Wars because that's a nine part series - hey, wait, what happened to the other 3 parts?
Only real problem with LOTR is that it is actually six books, published in three volumes.
However, this fact is a meaningless technicallity and can be safely ignored, so I'll go with it as well.
@caron7: They'll be filmed on location.
@moondrake: Ah ha! Thanks for letting me know. So, this will be sometime after Newt Gingrich establishes a moon colony? I guess I will have to look into those deep freeze options if I want to be around to watch them...
@caron7: There are only 3 Star Wars movies.
Those other "movies" were inspired by Star Wars.
@spacezorro: seconded. Except for the Christmas Special. That was excellent!
Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles???
@spacezorro: I have to disagree, having grown up during the time the first releases were made. A quick wikipedia search yields "In 1978, a Time magazine article reported that the newly formed Star Wars Corp. would be producing "Star Wars II, and then, count them, ten other planned sequels." And WE ARE WAITING!
@okham: Umm... Raiders, Temple, Crusade, Crystal Skull? One, two, three, four?
@caron7: Nope. There was no crystal skull, no fridge in a nuclear blast, no giant ants and most assuredly no Shia.
End of story.
@okham: But there was Harrison Ford as Indiana Jones, which is all that really matters, isn't it? Really? See my previous post - grew up during the original SW releases and at the time Harrison Ford was ALL THAT. And he's still got it!
You're all wrong, The Godfather is the best trilogy. End of discussion.
@caron7: I love Harrison Ford. I did not, however, love that movie. It was nice to see Karen Allen again, though. I had similar feelings toward the second Star Wars trilogy. I just have to think of them as a different entity. It's the same way I keep the voices in my head separate.
Charlie Brown, all classics
Jurassic Park, Original Star Wars
Back to the Future!
This question needs renamed to what is the only trilogy worth mentioning...
Star Wars Episode 4,5,6
@okham: Ok, I'll buy that, if only to keep your voices all happy. I guess I can think of it as part one of a new trilogy. And they decided to spare us the rest? (and help me here - why don't I recall the Christmas special you refer to earlier? You are surely not referring to an Ewok movie?)
Blade series... jk
@caron7: See the wiki:
There was also a bit in Wired a few months back:
It's a classic. Really brings together the star wars series, and answers all those niggling questions, like who is Chewy's father....
Edit: be aware, you can't unwatchable it...
I mean, unwatch it. Stupid autocorrect.
While I'm at it, that should say "original" in my original post.
For me the matrix series change the game on how action pack movies should be. Its the whole reason why people were bored with Star Wars 1-3, Lucas forgot to up the ante.
Fist Full of Dollars..... For a Few Dollars More.... The Good, the Bad, and the Ugly.
Larry, Moe, and Curly.
When I was growing up in the 70s (ahem) my brother and I watched Trilogy of Terror. It was three movies right in a row. We were so scared we didn't sleep for weeks. In one of the episodes this woman either won or bought a little wooden statue or doll of a native, complete with loin cloth and spear. And at night the thing came alive and terrorized her and her husband. My god we were sure that little statue was hiding some where in our own house waiting to get us. Yes, it has stuck with me all these years.
@ruger9mm: Going to have to agree here. While I am a huge Star Wars fan, The Godfather trilogy is top of my list.
@mikecris: You beat me to it! Big +1
Gears of War
Forgot to add Uncharted. Amazing series.
for me it was the original star wars trilogy.
honorable mentions:
Back to the Future
toy story
@ruger9mm: Gotta disagree. You can run a brilliant race, but if you fall on your face 2/3 of the way to the finish line, you lose. Godfather III is an abomination.
Does it have to be movies? The best trilogy, movie or otherwise, is the Hitchhikers Guide to the Galaxy series.
For movies, even though it isn't complete yet, the new Batman trilogy is an instant classic. The Bourne trilogy is solid as well.
@whatsmypassword: The Doll contained the spirit of of an African Warrior and it was bound to the doll as long as the chain wrapped around it's waist was kept in place... The chain fell off and the doll came alive the spirit eventually ending up in the woman who had bought the doll as a gift...
The Movie ends with the woman waiting with a BIG Knife for her despised Mother-In-Law to arrive...
Good Flick... Actress I believe was Karen Black who stared in all three of the movies the formed the "Trilogy of Terror"...
Star Wars
Indiana Jones
Back to the Future
toy story
Jurassic Park
Foundation Trilogy - Asimov
@whatsmypassword: Wow! Exactly what I was going to put. I can still picture that little doll now 30+ years later. I don't think I will ever forget that one! I was really young too. It scarred me for life.
