Salt Lake father-son team sets out to win third leg of 'The Amazing Race' with one on crutches
Robert Voets, CBS Broadcasting
Salt Lake father-son team Dave and Connor O'Leary successfully raced through airports, a river in a jet boat, muddy trails on ATVs and navigated winding roads in New Zealand while Dave was on crutches with a leg injury in an emotional episode of the third leg of "The Amazing Race" on Sunday.
While their ability to continue is still in question, no one was eliminated by the end of Sunday's episode, and viewers were left with a "To Be Continued."
Dave O'Leary, 58, felt his Achilles tendon pop running to the Pit Stop in the French Polynesian island Motu Tapu at the end of the second leg of the race. They arrived seconds after professional hockey players and brothers Anthony and Bates Battaglia.
"At this point, it's not over until it's over," said O'Leary. He and his son are both members of The Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints in the Holladay 25th Ward, Salt Lake Holladay South Stake. "We're not quitters. We're not going to quit, and we'll wait and see what happens."
In this leg of the race, the teams flew from Bora Bora to Papeete, Tahiti, and then to Auckland, New Zealand, and onto Christchurch. From there, they drove to the gorgeous Rakaia River Gorge.
Time was on their side during the flights.
The O'Learys left on the second flight to Tahiti and there had to go to a hospital to get a sonogram.
The sonogram showed two tears, including the Achilles tendon, and they went to a pharmacy to get a boot for him to wear for that leg of the race — which they were determined to win.
"I think we're here because of what we've gone through in the past — both of us are cancer survivors," O'Leary said.
Dave O'Leary is a prostate cancer survivor and 21-year-old Connor O'Leary is a testicular cancer survivor.
"We came here to run the race as far as we could run it," an emotional Dave O'Leary said after the visit to the hospital. "And it got cut short a little bit."
In the first episode, the O'Learys were part of an alliance to secure a second Express Pass given to dating couple and surfers John Erck and Jessica Hoel, who won the first leg of the race. The O'Learys were second from the alliance to cross the finish line on that leg. While Erk and Hoel were initially a little hesitant to give the O'Learys the Express Pass.
"Dave is injured and so they won't be as competitive," Erck said of giving the O'Learys the Express Pass. "Ultimately for us, Jess and I want to beat the hockey players, so we're hoping they will help us play some defense against the hockey players."
Because the flights to Auckland didn't leave until the following morning, the O'Learys didn't lose any time.
Connor O'Leary pushed his father through the airport in Auckland and made the second of four flights the teams were on to Christchurch.
"Look at Dave go! The fastest man on crutches," Phill Keoghan tweeted during Sunday's episode. And another one of his next tweets was, "Is it possible for Mr Hopalong can win this leg with his leg the way it is?"
Friends Pamela Chien and Winnie Sung got on the first flight to Christchurch, and the second flight also included the three-team alliance of Erck and Hoel, roller-derby moms Mona Egender and Beth Bandimere and YouTube hosts Joey Graceffa and Meghan Camarena. Newlyweds Max and Katie Bichler, who are suspicious of everyone, were also on that flight.

I'm trying to decide what mount I need.
I want to take multi-row panos using a Canon EOS400D and will probably be using a Sigma 105mm fixed focal lens. I had hoped to use the NN3.
My problem is that the data for the NN3 gives a measurement of 107mm for the length of the camera from back of camera to tip of lens. The sigma is way beyond this, in fact even the kit 18-55mm lens is beyond this by 20mm or so.
For a multi row pano do I really need to worry about this measurement, I don't need to point the camera directly up or down, so what is the limiting factor, why is this 107mm measurement so small?

NEW PHILADELPHIA Missed opportunities are a killer.
Unfortunately for Steubenville Big Red Saturday at Woody Hayes Stadium in the Division III Region 11 semifinals West Holmes seemingly didn't miss any opportunities en route to a 35-7 victory.
"The key to a good team is taking advantage of opportunities," said Big Red head coach Reno Saccoccia. "The key to a bad game is giving opportunities. They took advantage of the opportunities. They're a good team and they are very well coached."

Ron Gardner
ON THE MOVE — Steubenville Michael Jett carries the ball during Saturday's contest with West Holmes in the Ohio Division III Region 11 semifinals. He ran the ball three times for 27 yards as West Holmes ended Big?Red's season with a 35-7 win at Woody Hayes Quaker Stadium.
The Knights converted three fourth-down defensive stops and a recovered fumble on the second half kickoff into 29 points, and took advantage of several Big Red first downs being brought back due to penalties to turn a 7-6 Big Red lead into a victory.
With the score 7-6 Big Red was stuffed inches short on a fourth-and-2, setting up the Knights at their own 40. They took advantage with a drive that ended with a 14-yard Layne Perrone touchdown run.
The biggest smack to Steubenville's hopes was the second half kickoff. The Big Red return man was unable to field the short line drive, which bounced off his legs and was recovered by West Holmes at the 28-yard line and on the next play Gabe Snyder hit Brady Arnold for a score and a 21-7 lead.
"I felt the thing I liked best about that was the kid made a good return on the next one when it was 21-7," said Saccoccia.
"There's life, 21-7 is tough against a team like that, but I felt confident until we didn't make it on fourth-and-10. I felt confident in our kids because they fought through a lot of adversity this year. I thought they came out and it wasn't our night. West Holmes was part of the reason it wasn't our night."
The Knights again took advantage of a chance when it was presented to them taking over at their own 27 after the fourth down stop Saccoccia talked about. They traveled 73 yards on seven run plays capped by a seven-yard Garrett Mackey run to make it 28-7 with 3:18 left in the third quarter.
"We just gave them too many opportunities," said Saccoccia. "They took advantage of whatever we gave them. We felt at halftime we had a bad start.
"We had a bad start to the second half and they took advantage of it. That's the name of the game. No disrespect to them. That's what they're supposed to do."
Offensively Big Red was able to move the ball at times, but shot themselves in the foot to stall drives throughout the contest.
"I thought we moved the ball OK," said Saccoccia. "Our first three first downs in the second half got called back because of holds. We had two first downs called back in the first half because of holds.
"I thought we played tough and we played physical, but we didn't play smart on offense."
Trailing 28-7, Big Red was forced to go for another fourth down conversion, which fell short and gave the Knights the ball at the Big Red 29. And for one last time West Holmes took advantage, this time scoring on a 19-yard Grant Hay run.
"We didn't do the little things you need to do to be a champion," said Saccoccia. "I really wasn't disappointed in our offense and our defense.
"I was disappointed we didn't do the little things. That's why they're moving on. They did the little things and they took advantage of opportunities."

Creation Generation Mural in Woodstock kickstarts World Design Capital project
This past weekend mural artists Rayaan Cassiem, Anwar Davids, Leigh Cupido and Amedeo Bisogno, created an inspiring and thought provoking mural in Woodstock, the heart of Cape Town's art scene, reflecting the story and spirit of the Creation Generation in a World Design Capital project #WDC566.
Compliance, Creativity and Change
Ripple Effect Media Production, graduates from Big Fish School of Digital Filmmaking, and photographer Wandiswa Mesatywa from the Ruth Prowse School of Art, helped to document and frame this incredible achievement that took place over two days. The mural represents the devastation each generation leaves on the next, and how the youth will have serious challenges to face; issues such as economic turmoil, poverty, global warming and unemployment.
According to the Creation Generation project, the image of the first character calls awareness to the state of challenge – the issues and opportunities. The second character represents a self-empowered, resilient and creative generation emerging to bring new constructive thinking and solutions to the world. The third element represents the youth removing the mask of compliance and complacency and choosing to bring their authenticity and genius to respond to and deal with the challenges and the opportunity in the world today.
A documentary for change
Through a documentary and a series of short films made by young South African film makers, The Creation Generation Media project aims to showcase young creators and innovators who are changing the way we think, create and live in the world. The project also aims to explore how we can grow South Africa's Creation Generation and their impact in the world. We will showcase the genius and the contribution of our young adults from grass roots solutions to sophisticated high tech innovation - from the Siphiwe Ngwenya's who turn township homes into art galleries and townships into art precincts to the Elon Musk's who work to put humanity on Mars in 2025.
Whilst the series of short films will be made by young South African film makers and tell the story of a Creation Generation that engages the youth, the overarching idea of the documentary is to look more closely at what creates a vibrant creation generation in a world that knows no way out of the current situation of unemployment, global warming and issues facing future generations.
Sponsor Janet Gourand has enabled the kick-start of the Creation generation and Harlequinn Paints supplied paint to the project free of charge.

Kokichi Sugihara, a mathematician at Japan's Meiji University, is something of an expert on creating 3D versions of the kinds of impossible objects popularized by MC Escher.
And 'impossible' is exactly what we thought while watching his latest illusion, a gravity-defying house, in action:
What's basically going on here is a variant of the 'crater illusion' – that sensation you sometimes have looking at pictures of the moon's surface when you can't tell if you're looking at a crater or a mound. The brain attempts to use the orientation of shadows to tell the difference between convex and concave, but it's a system that's easily fooled, as Sugihara shows here. The contrast between our first assumption, and the inappropriate behavior of the marbles, gives this illusion its kick.

Burger King small coffee (iced or hot) 2/18-3/10 for $0.25
I couldn't find a BK site, but they have small iced or hot coffees for $0.25. At least in Minnesota, I'm not sure about nationwide, but I would assume so.
9 Comments add a comment
I have never seen a Fatwallet link on DW. This is different.......
It wasn't mentioned on their Twitter feed, was it? https://twitter.com/BurgerKing
This deal is good in Iowa as well, so at least regional? The iced coffee is just "plain" for $0.25 so no flavoring (at least for my area).
@hushpuppy20: Oh really? I got a "Vanilla" flavored iced coffee for 25c here in MN but it's probably also due to the employees not knowing what's going on...
How much is shipping?
The best part is that there's almost zero chance there will be any horse meat in the drink.
Burger King had their Twitter account hacked by ANONYMOUS today! I'm lovin it. Lmao
Let me help here. The top left of the bk.com site has a box that says "Fresh Deals" and when it is clicked, the 25 cent offer is shown. I guess nobody here thought to look for deals there heh heh.
It's Seattle's Best Coffee. (not an opinion, just the brand, but it is good)
What on Earth does "couldn't find a BK site" mean? There is no way possible you mean web. I have to assume you mean can't find the nearest location.

I have just started a new job, as a programmer I have to get in 'The Zone' to get alot of work done, I do this by listening to music and just getting on with it.
But people kept talking to me, as I was new, they were just asking random questions (they aren't programmers) I have explained about the zone and they understand now.
Now the huge problem, the phone, I have to answer the phone, and even when I don't answer it, it kicks me straight out, no matter how loud my music is, all the phones singing in the office stop me from working.
How can I get around this? I'm hardly doing any work because of the distractions, I can't turn my phone off as I have to get it when everyone's busy, but it rings every 10 minutes!

Shulachan Aruch (OC 135:10) holds, and Rama (there) seems to also hold, that if a kohen (or levi, m.m.) is called as acharon then the gabai should say "af al pi shehu kohen". The purpose of this is to announce that he's a kohen, so people don't think he's an invalid kohen. Do any Ashk'nazim use this wording, as opposed to saying just "p'loni ben p'loni hakohen"?

In regard to the "af-al-pi shehu kohen", we are Ashkenazim and my husband is a Cohen. Some years ago we spent Shabbat in Venice, Italy. By the time they got around to asking my husband who he was, they had already passed Cohen. So they said, "No problem." They called him up as Chamishi, with the addendum of "af-al-pi..." So here's a case of not even being Acharon. Don't know if Italian minhagim are that different from Sephardic, in general, in this practice.

Was anyone else disappointed with the monkey from the last Woot Off?
Mine came today, made in China, does not match my collection at all. I placed him with the other three, and he is indeed a sorry sight. Plastic nose, different mouth, poorly sewn legs. I feel so terribly sorry for the poor creature, I have asked the older three to please be kind to this obviously sad, deformed creature. He is sitting along-side them, but they are sort of ignoring him. Perhaps he will be accepted after awhile.
34 Answers answer
huuuummmmm. lots of upvotes, but no one willing to comment. is it that everyone agrees but doesn't want the community to know who, or is it that no one can say it any better than the op?
It's all about the bottom line, they figure that they can save some money and make more of a profit on you's guys. BTW I think the monkeys have always kinda sucked!
It's cute enough, and annoys my coworkers just as well as the old ones, so it's okay. That said, I much prefer the old style.
@moosezilla: I don't think anybody on Woot! is scared to complain about something they don't like.
Dunno about the monkeys. The woot-offs have been pretty dull though.
@captainsuperdawg: yeah those guys SUCK!!
Not afraid to say it - I LIKE THE OLD MONKEYS WAY BETTER!
I have seen the masked monkeys in the hardware stores for the last several years and I was so happy that the woot monkeys were not the same brand. The masked monkeys don't seem to have the quality and they don't feel as nice. That being said, my monkey collection will cease growing at the astronomically fantastic rate that it has for the last year and a half, as I have informed all my wooting friends to stop purchasing extras for me.
Change sucks.
I finally pulled the trigger on a monkey, and was underwhelmed. Bought two, one doesn't screech. Which sucks, because I was hoping to shoot them at my neighbors, when they have guests. I'll get my lazy butt over to complain to woot later, would rather kvetch here.
@theoneill555: I consider you our leading monkey maven, so I must defer to your expertise. Now I am sorry for waiting too long.
I took the masks off. They look better without. I like the cape on these monkeys though.
@pickypickypicky: Those monkeys (at least the one I got) do, in fact, scream. There is a white plastic tab you have to remove to connect the battery. Honestly though, after the first scream or two, I wanted to put it back.
That was the first one (and most likely the last one) that I'll buy. The arms started coming unsewn after the first launch. Even my son seemed bored with it after the initial "OMG!"
i bet the other monkeys are already giving the new sad monkey wedgies and noogies. as much as you talk to them about bullying, forget it! when you turn your back, all monkey promises are off. poor thing
'New' monkeys, 'new' t-shirts. A pattern?
I have no idea what Woot! is doing but I don't like it. Why is Woot! changing everything and the quality decreasing but prices are staying the same. Beware Wooters, I forsee the price of shipping going up soon. First come the outsourcing, quality cuts and then the price increases to make more and more money.
I have to admit to being a bit disappointed. Other than what folks have already pointed out, it certainly doesn't look like the Pirate Monkey it was supposed to me. A mask? What about an eye patch? I clicked that big gold button too quickly, I guess. Should have looked more closely. I really wanted a pirate monkey to use as part of our pirate costumes for an annual event in the fall. This one looks like a superhero wannabee.
@belyndag: i thought it looked like a theive's mask
@capguncowboy: Thanks for the tip. One worked right away, so I didn't check. The arms were tearing on mine too.
Oh well, the capes will be nice for Haloween costumes for the ferrets.
Woot. I am disappoint
@pickypickypicky: you have ferrets too?! You just keep getting cooler and cooler.
+1 In woot Disappointment, I don't like the new monkeys. The quality is lacking and they don't look as cool. Usually I don't judge on looks, but they're fatter too and don't carry themselves too well.
@cowboydann: You too? No way, too funny. We have to discuss this, I should be able to @ begining of the week.
I wasn't very impressed with the "new monkey" either.. It's sad that the makers of the "great monkeys" are no longer around.
I fear I may not be purchasing anymore monkeys from Woot in the future unless they change to something else.
@devexityspace: What do you mean? No more old-style monkeys?
i ordered 3 for some reason, and none of the slits in the masks actually correspond to where the eyes are, and one came cape-less. and somehow there was an extra battery pull tab floating in the box...all 3 of mine had theirs in place....
I missed out on the monkeys. Again. Now I am thinking it okay that I missed them. (Again.) My monkey will just have to stay an only child, I guess.
This was the first monkey I ever bought--the black caped, masked one. So, I don't have much to go by comparison other than what others have been saying.
My point, however, is that I have no problem finally owning a Woot! Monkey even if he is a little different than the others. He still has a place in my heart.
@jseureau: I made a similar complain during the woot-off (http://goo.gl/VblbJ), and Woot staff (@brutherford) informed that it was not cost cutting measure, and that they were as surprised with the new model as everyone else.
Apparently (according to @joe43wv in the same thread), the company that produced them went under. However, I just typed the website shown in one of my monkeys (superflymonkey.com) and it's still up. There is no info on how to order through them (plus they wont have the woot logo), though.
The first time I ordered monkeys, one did not scream, I complained and Woot Staff returned my money for that monkey.
I was so angry I wanted to spank it.
This was my first monkey, too. Even though I don't have anything to compare to, I was a little disappointed with the construction.
@sgtgreeneusmc: They're normally not this bad, when they come back with the old design then buy three :3
@cowboydann: They ARE coming back w/the old design???? Nice! Think they'll bring back the old T's, too? (w/a gentle nod to @narfcake)
@gmwhit: I don't have any concrete evidence but I don't see them going with this design too long. At least not until i see a new M+M video. My guess would be they had the cheap CES monkeys as a promo, got a great price on those and maybe had some contract to make a few more. The new monkeys are really weak, and evil.
Don't hold your breath on american shirts though.
@w00tgurl: So far, whenever enter the room where they sit, they "seem" to be in a pleasant, non-confrontational mood. However, who knows what happens when I am not there? The cat and dog have reported not all is happiness, love, and contentment. I am hoping for better days for them; otherwise, the new arrival will have to sit in the garage. I am not sure who is being evil to whom at this point. Must call the security people and see what they have on tape.
I won't order anymore monkeys, I liked the velcro hands the old ones offered.
The mask was all screwed up too.
I looked on Amazon yesterday for Superfly Monkeys and it Looked as though they had some that were the same. They came to a bit under five dollars with shipping but I decided to wait. On the Superfly Monkey website they had glow-in-the-dark monkeys. I can't decide if that is cool or scary.

Most C++ programmers are familiar with the ternary operator:
However, they don't realize that it can be used as an lvalue:
which is shorthand for
Use with caution :-)
You can put URIs into C++ source without error. For example:
C++ programmers prefer to avoid pointers because of the bugs that can be introduced.
The coolest C++ I've ever seen though? Analog literals.
I agree with most posts there: C++ is a multi-paradigm language, so the "hidden" features you'll find (other than "undefined behaviours" that you should avoid at all cost) are clever uses of facilities.
Most of those facilities are not build-in features of the language, but library-based ones.
The most important is the RAII, often ignored for years by C++ developers coming from the C world. Operator overloading is often a misunderstood feature that enable both array-like behaviour (subscript operator), pointer like operations (smart pointers) and build-in-like operations (multiplying matrices.
The use of exception is often difficult, but with some work, can produce really robust code through exception safety specifications (including code that won't fail, or that will have a commit-like features that is that will succeed, or revert back to its original state).
The most famous of "hidden" feature of C++ is template metaprogramming, as it enables you to have your program partially (or totally) executed at compile-time instead of runtime. This is difficult, though, and you must have a solid grasp on templates before trying it.
Other make uses of the multiple paradigm to produce "ways of programming" outside of C++'s ancestor, that is, C.
By using functors, you can simulate functions, with the additional type-safety and being stateful. Using the command pattern, you can delay code execution. Most other design patterns can be easily and efficiently implemented in C++ to produce alternative coding styles not supposed to be inside the list of "official C++ paradigms".
By using templates, you can produce code that will work on most types, including not the one you thought at first. You can increase type safety,too (like an automated typesafe malloc/realloc/free). C++ object features are really powerful (and thus, dangerous if used carelessly), but even the dynamic polymorphism have its static version in C++: the CRTP.
I have found that most "Effective C++"-type books from Scott Meyers or "Exceptional C++"-type books from Herb Sutter to be both easy to read, and quite treasures of info on known and less known features of C++.
Among my preferred is one that should make the hair of any Java programmer rise from horror: In C++, the most object-oriented way to add a feature to an object is through a non-member non-friend function, instead of a member-function (i.e. class method), because:
This never fails to surprise even experienced developers.

One language feature that I consider to be somewhat hidden, because I had never heard about it throughout my entire time in school, is the namespace alias. It wasn't brought to my attention until I ran into examples of it in the boost documentation. Of course, now that I know about it you can find it in any standard C++ reference.
Not only can variables be declared in the init part of a
That allows for multiple variables of differing types.
The array operator is associative.
A[8] is a synonym for *(A + 8). Since addition is associative, that can be rewritten as *(8 + A), which is a synonym for..... 8[A]
You didn't say useful... :-)
One thing that's little known is that unions can be templates too:
And they can have constructors and member functions too. Just nothing that has to do with inheritance (including virtual functions).
C++ is a multi-paradigm language, you can bet your last money on there being hidden features. One example out of many: template metaprogramming. Nobody in the standards committee intended there to be a Turing-complete sublanguage that gets executed at compile-time.
Another hidden feature that doesn't work in C is the functionality of the unary
Converting an Enumeration to an integer
And your enumerator value that previously had its enumeration type now has the perfect integer type that can fit its value. Manually, you would hardly know that type! This is needed for example when you want to implement an overloaded operator for your enumeration.
Get the value out of a variable
You have to use a class that uses an in-class static initializer without an out of class definition, but sometimes it fails to link? The operator may help to create a temporary without making assumptins or dependencies on its type
Decay an array to a pointer
Do you want to pass two pointers to a function, but it just won't work? The operator may help
Lifetime of temporaries bound to const references is one that few people know about. Or at least it's my favorite piece of C++ knowledge that most people don't know about.
A nice feature that isn't used often is the function-wide try-catch block:
Main usage would be to translate exception to other exception class and rethrow, or to translate between exceptions and return-based error code handling.
Many know of the
It helps decrypting C++ declarations greatly!
A quite hidden feature is that you can define variables within an if condition, and its scope will span only over the if, and its else blocks:
Some macros use that, for example to provide some "locked" scope like this:
Also BOOST_FOREACH uses it under the hood. To complete this, it's not only possible in an if, but also in a switch:
and in a while loop:
(and also in a for condition). But i'm not too sure whether these are all that useful :)
Preventing comma operator from calling operator overloads
Sometimes you make valid use of the comma operator, but you want to ensure that no user defined comma operator gets into the way, because for instance you rely on sequence points between the left and right side or want to make sure nothing interferes with the desired action. This is where
Ignore the place holders i put for the condition and code. What's important is the
Array initialization in constructor.
For example in a class if we have a array of
We can initialize all elements in the array to its default (here all elements of array to zero) in the constructor as:
Oooh, I can come up with a list of pet hates instead:
On the plus side
You can access protected data and function members of any class, without undefined behavior, and with expected semantics. Read on to see how. Read also the defect report about this.
Normally, C++ forbids you to access non-static protected members of a class's object, even if that class is your base class
That's forbidden: You and the compiler don't know what the reference actually points at. It could be a
Surely, as you see this would cause way too much damage. But now, member pointers allow circumventing this protection! The key point is that the type of a member pointer is bound to the class that actually contains said member - not to the class that you specified when taking the address. This allows us to circumvent checking
And of course, it also works with the
That's going to be even easier with a using declaration in the derived class, which makes the member name public and refers to the member of the base class.
Another hidden feature is that you can call class objects that can be converted to function pointers or references. Overload resolution is done on the result of them, and arguments are perfectly forwarded.
These are called "surrogate call functions".
Hidden features:
I'm amazed at how many C++ programmers don't know this.
Putting functions or variables in a nameless namespace deprecates the use of
Defining ordinary friend functions in class templates needs special attention:
In this example, two different instantiations create two identical definitions—a direct violation of the ODR
We must therefore make sure the template parameters of the class template appear in the type of any friend function defined in that template (unless we want to prevent more than one instantiation of a class template in a particular file, but this is rather unlikely). Let's apply this to a variation of our previous example:
Disclaimer: I have pasted this section from C++ Templates: The Complete Guide / Section 8.4
void functions can return void values
Little known, but the following code is fine
Aswell as the following weird looking one
Knowing about this, you can take advantage in some areas. One example:
Read a file into a vector of strings:
You can template bitfields.
I have yet to come up with any purpose for this, but it sure as heck surprised me.
One of the most interesting grammars of any programming languages.
Three of these things belong together, and two are something altogether different...
All but the third and fifth define a
Getting rid of forward declarations:
Writing switch-statements with ?: operators:
Doing everything on a single line:
Zeroing structs without memset:
Normalizing/wrapping angle- and time-values:
Assigning references:
The ternary conditional operator
In other words, one can write the following pefrectly valid C++ expressions using the
BTW, the fact that throw expression is actually an expression (of type
although there's not much point in doing it this way (maybe in some generic template code this might come handy).
The dominance rule is useful, but little known. It says that even if in a non-unique path through a base-class lattice, name-lookup for a partially hidden member is unique if the member belongs to a virtual base-class:
I've used this to implement alignment-support that automatically figures out the strictest alignment by means of the dominance rule.
This does not only apply to virtual functions, but also to typedef names, static/non-virtual members and anything else. I've seen it used to implement overwritable traits in meta-programs.

[FNR] TabPanel and VBoxLayoutContainer
It seems, like it's not possible to use a VBoxLayoutContainer within a TabPanel:
public void onModuleLoad() { TabPanel tab = new TabPanel(); //ContentPanel f = new ContentPanel(); // --> this one works great VBoxLayoutContainer f = new VBoxLayoutContainer(); f.add(new Label("Q")); tab.add(f, "bug"); tab.add(new TextButton("testButton"), "showTestButton"); RootLayoutPanel.get().add(tab); }
The Label (or any other Widget) is rendered over the whole TabPanel. A ContentPanel doesn't make such problems, but since I am using VBoxLayoutContainer most of the time (automatic strech and flex on last item is just great), I hope this one will get fixed.
21 Nov 2011 2:37 AM #2
It seems like the GWT-TabPanel has the same behaviour. It work's fine with a GWT-TabLayoutPanel , but since I prefer the GXT widget, I have to use a ContentPanel wrapper to show my VBoxContainer correctly.
I had no problems with GXT 2.x - but since you're obviously trying to close the gap between GXT and GWT, equal behaviour is the right way to go. My solution shouldn't stay unmentioned though, since I don't think I'm the last person facing this problem.
30 Nov 2011 12:04 PM #3
Appears to be a bug in VBoxLayoutContainer from that then - adding position:relative to the Label's parent, or parent's parent seems to fix it.
We'll update this thread when a fix is available.
1 Dec 2011 2:06 PM #4
This is now fixed in SVN (rev 1934). Change will go out in next release next week.

Should we follow the FAQ 100% at all times or is it okay to gather enough votes from the community to override the FAQ?
You're browsing the Graphic Design site and you notice a question about web design. You think it over, answer, and notice it gets closed as off topic later. You check the FAQ, and it says Web Design is an appropriate topic.
The reason the community has voted it off topic is not because they feel it is off topic, but because they feel the same (design related) question would get better answers on Stack Overflow. The question is purely CSS (design) related.
Mod is flagged, rules community has voted, and moves on despite the FAQ clearly stating the few voters are wrong.
Shouldn't we change the FAQ to no web design questions if we want them on Stack Overflow, or continue to nilly-pick what a few people here or there think would get better answers elsewhere.

While no one in Kentucky won a share of last night's record-breaking $587.5 million jackpot, there was one ticket sold that matched all five of the white balls drawn but not the Powerball. That ticket is worth $1 million!
The ticket was sold at a retailer in Prospect, located just outside of Louisville. "Our security staff is currently performing a review of the terminal at the location where the winning ticket was sold," said Chip Polston, the Kentucky Lottery's VP of communications. "Once this security review is completed, we'll release the name of the retailer."
The winning ticket will have these white ball winning numbers:
5 16 22 23 29
Polston advises the winner to sign the back of their ticket immediately and bring it to lottery headquarters on Main Street in Louisville to claim their prize.
All told, there were nearly 125,000 winning tickets sold in Kentucky for last night's drawing with prizes ranging from $4 to $1 million.

6 Insane Prison Escapes That Actually Happened
What do you get when you take thousands of guys, give them tons of free time, creativity and a healthy portion of desperation? Some freaking awesome prison escapes.
Some of these were badass enough to have had movies made about them, but all of them made Andy from The Shawshank Redemption look like a lazy pile of shit.
#6. Stalag Luft III Escape (aka The Great Escape)
Even with the Geneva Conventions basically turning Salag Luft III into the World War 2 prison equivalent of the Ritz-Carlton, British inmate Roger Bushell felt he had some escaping to do. He and 49 other prisoners devised a plan to dig three tunnels -- codenamed Tom, Dick and Harry -- out of a prison that was specifically designed to piss off tunnelers with its loose yellow subsoil and, in a huge dick move, seismograph microphones buried along the fences. If a shovel made even the slightest vibration the plan was shot, leaving the prisoners to fall back on their untested "It was Sandworms" alibi.
Not as uncommon an alibi as you'd think.
The team found brilliant ways to nullify every problem that popped up:
*The team dug 30 foot deep holes to evade the microphones;
*For faster tunnel traveling, they created a railway system;
*They built what were, essentially, Christmas tree lights that plugged into the camp's grid;
*The crafty escapees even constructed a tunnel ventilation system composed of nearly every piece of junk lying in your garage: bed parts, hockey sticks, ping-pong paddles, knapsacks and flattened tin cans of powdered milk with the ends removed.
When rumors swirled that some of the prisoners may be moved to another prison, they picked up the pace which, finally, caught the attention of the guards who soon discovered the "Tom" tunnel. Just before the completion of Harry, some of the diggers were, indeed, sent off to a newer, Nazier prison and never got the chance to escape.
But the rest started crawling through the tunnels on a moonless March night in 1944. They got 76 men through before, finally, when the 77th inmate gophered his way out someone realized an escape was going down.
The Nazi guards later took count of all of the missing supplies that were used in the escape: 4,000 bed boards, the complete disappearance of 90 beds, 52 tables, 34 chairs, 10 single tables, 76 benches, 1,219 knives, 478 spoons, 582 forks, 69 lamps, 246 water cans, 30 shovels, 1,000 feet of electric wire, 600 feet of rope, 3,424 towels, 1,700 blankets and more than 1,400 milk cans.
"Do you guys ever think it's weird that we've only got, like, three beds in this whole prison?"
Keep in mind they were able to get all of this stuff while in a Nazi prison camp. Think about that the next time you find yourself bartering like a nomadic goat herder just to get a couple of ballpoints from your office supply manager. Virtually all of the escapees were caught and either killed or re-imprisoned, but we still like to think this was the point the Nazis realized they could not win a war against an army full of MacGyvers.
#5. The Pascal Payet Escapes (aka "Get to the Choppa!")
After killing an armored truck driver, Pascal Payet was arrested and sentenced to a 30-year stint in France's Luynes prison. But Luynes prison had one major flaw in its design that Payet knew how to exploit: it had a sky over it.
By 2001, Payet was probably up to his cheeks in prison rape so he decided to leave... via helicopter that some buddies of his hijacked. Sadly, the details of this glorious break out are scant but we're assuming it involved him leaping in slow motion and grabbing onto the skids of the helicopter in midair.
"And, now, could you point me in the direction he took the helicopter, officer?"
After roaming free for a couple of years, Payet must have figured that if dropping a helicopter into a prison worked once, why wouldn't it work again? In 2003, he hopped in a helicopter, flew back to Luynes prison and busted out three inmates. These men were friends of his, but we're pretty sure he was just having one of those moments where you do something so cool you have to do it again just to make sure.
After breaking out his buddies, Payet was captured and given an additional seven years on his sentence. This time he wasn't placed in just one big-house, but was moved to a different prison every three months or so in a sad attempt to make the process helicopter proof. It remained that way until July of 2007, when a helicopter carrying four masked men landed on the roof of Grasse prison in Southeast France during the start of the night shift.
"Holy shit I can't believe how easy this is."
The men broke Payet out of his isolation ward and flew off him off into the sunset. And just to prove that he knows a thing or two about symbolism, this break-out occurred on Bastille Day, a French holiday that commemorates the storming of a prison. Payet, you glorious son of a bitch...
#4. The Mother of All Break-Outs
What is more powerful than the love of a mother? And it's even more powerful when a mother uses a big rig truck to mow down your chest cavity and ram their love directly into your heart.
Jay Junior Sigler, an inmate in his eighth year of a 20-year sentence for armed robbery at Everglades Correctional Institution, started out his day just like any other:
11:28 AM: Walk off threat of aggressive anal penetration.
2:03 PM: Artfully dodge a shanking.
2:58 PM: Receive aggressive anal penetration.
3:00 PM: A visit from Mom and some friends.
But unlike most Plexiglas and wired phone visits from loved ones, this one went a bit differently. In broad daylight an 18-wheel truck driven by Sigler's friend, John Beaston (who was accompanied by Christopher Michelson and Kelly Mitchell), rammed though not just one, but four prison fences, immediately followed by a Cutlass Supreme driven by none other then mommy dearest herself, Sandra Sigler.
"The parking lot was full"
When Jay, who was in the courtyard, reached the car, Beaston tossed him a shotgun and together they fired at the oncoming guards. Jay and everyone from the truck jumped into Mrs. Sigler's Cutlass like kids after Karate practice and hightailed it out of there.
They then made a pit stop at local mall and swapped vehicles; Jay and Michelson in one car, Mama Sigler, Beaston and Mitchell in another. Jay and Michelson had made it all the way to Pompano Beach, some 40 miles away from the prison, when they realized they were being followed. In a desperate attempt to flee, they sped into an alley and burst out the other side just in time to blow by a stop sign and slam into an oncoming vehicle, killing the 55-year-old driver.
Michelson, who had recently been released from prison himself, was brought in on charges of first-degree murder along with Sigler. As for Mother Sigler, she and her car mates were arrested at a gas station a few miles from the prison shortly after the car swap. Just goes to show that, holiday or not, a visiting parent will inevitably fuck up your day.
"By all accounts the mother masterminded everything," said Miami-Dade detective Rudy Espinosa. This didn't turn out to be entirely correct as Jay Sigler had actually conceived of the plan some four months earlier. Mama Sigler just handled the small, intricate details of the escape like, for instance, ramming a huge fucking truck through four prison gates.

It is very difficult to say because it also depends on your preferences. But generally I would recommend option c) since Dresden is really worth a visit! And it is directly on the way from Berlin to Prague, so you don't have to do any detour. On the contrary you can split a long journey into two parts.
Prague is very well connected to Dresden (take the DBB bus) and from Dresden to Berlin there are a lot of fast trains.

I just came across Twitter Bootstrap today, on SO. I have skimmed through some online tutorials and if my understanding so far is correct, using the TB essentially consists of:
- Downloading TB, extracting CSS files etc
- Referencing the required CSS, JS files in your HTML doc and using the defined CSS patterns
I want to use Twitter Bootstrap with Symfony2. Given my understanding of how to use TB I thought it would be relatively easy to use it with Symfony, so I was quite suprised to see that there are (actually several) Bundles to use with Symfony.
So my questions are:
Why is a Bundle needed to use Twitter Bootstrap with Symfony2? - will the method I explained above not work (i.e. adding the references directly in a twig template)?
Since there are several Twitter Bootstrap Bundles available (at last count there are 3), which is the easiest to use (it has to be one that is actively supported with recent commits, and not a dead project)

Inspired of course by What's a natural candidate for an analytic function that interpolates the tower function? I am minded to ask what looks to me like a more natural question: given a sequence $a_1,a_2,a_3,\ldots$ of complex numbers, is there always a holomorphic function $f$ defined on the entire complex plane, with $f(n)=a_n$ for $n=1,2,3,\ldots$? No idea what the answer is myself, but wouldn't surprise me if it were well-known and even easy.
This is Exercise 6, Page 26, of Knopp's Problem Book in the Theory of Functions, Volume 2: For any sequence of complex numbers $z_n$ with no finite limit point, and for any sequence of complex numbers $w_n$, there is an entire function mapping $z_n$ to $w_n$. The proof goes like this: Use the Weierstrass Factor Theorem to construct a function $W$ with simple zeros at the $z_n$. Use the Mittag-Leffler theorem to construct a function $M$ with simple poles at the $z_n$ with residues $\frac{w_n}{W'(z_n)}$. Then the function $W\cdot M$ does the job.
Probably well-known. Easy? I'd venture to guess that an expression like $$\sum_{n=1}^\infty b_n\frac{e^{c_n(z-n)}}{(n-1)!}\prod_{k=1}^{n-1}(z-k)$$ can be made to work. You'll have to pick the $b_n$ successively to make the $N$'th partial sum equal to $a_N$, and real constants $c_n$ large enough to obtain uniform convergence to the left of any fixed vertical line. E.g., so that the $n$'th term has absolute value less than $2^{-n}$ when $\operatorname{Re} z<n/2$.

Amazon where are the specials this Christmas season???? You have become a very greedy company. Furthermore they increased the free shipping from $25.00 to $35.00.

Amazon refuses to support 'single-use' credit cards
by tsymons, November 14, 2013
Don't use Amazon if you have an 'internet' or 'single-use' credit card. Amazon doesn't understand them and cannot respond intelligently to complaints about using them.
The problem is that Amazon bills as two separate companies - Amazon and Amazon Marketplace. If you order items from both 'companies', then Amazon bills your credit card twice, once in each name. But internet credit cards are either single-use or they can only be used multiple times to the same business. So your bank will accept the first billing, but reject the second.
Even worse, Amazon just punts your second order. Doesn't remember it to make it easy to re-order.
Internet credit cards pretty much eliminate any issue if someone gets the credit card number - it's only good once or only to the original vendor. I won't use anything else. So I don't shop at Amazon anymore.

You'll Never Get a Refund
by trewri11, August 11, 2013
I have been trying to get a refund for an item for almost 3 months now. Amazon says they sent the funds to my old bank which I no longer have an account with them. The bank stats the funds were sent back to Amazon since the account is closed. Amazon stated that they were going to issue me a check. So I wait the time stated in the e-mail for the check to arrive. I never got the check so I contacted Amazon again and they say they will fix it then I get the same generic e-mail saying it was sent to my old bank again. (WHAT?) Maybe the Better Business Bureaus can get Amazon to give me my money. Amazon has signed every e-mail stating that they are the Earth's Most Customer-Centric Company... I am HIGHLY doubting that... Holding someones refund hostage is not Customer-Centric in the least.

Amazon a Great Quality and Quantity 5 Star Shopping Experience
by gerrymac, June 20, 2013
The thing that makes Amazon a great store is the wide variety of products that are available, the quality of the products when they are delivered to your home and how easy it is to return unwanted items. There customer service staff are friendly, knowledgeable and understanding to the needs of theirs customers. Pre-ordered items always are delivered the day before or the day of the release of the product which is what you want, and their 'super saver' free postage always arrives with two days of posting which is the same as the normal first class postage.
In my personal opinion Amazon is a 5 star shopping experience.

Unending Selection, Quick Shipping, Great Customer Service
by aymee75, January 7, 2013
Really happy with amazon! I have technically been a customer since 2000, but hadn't ordered anything for several years. A friend at work was always talking about things he had ordered, so I decided to try it out again. I signed up with the trial Amazon Prime membership and decided to pay the $79 yearly fee because I was so impressed with the shipping. An experience this Christmas made me a customer for life. I had ordered and received a book as a gift for my nephew for Christmas; finding out that he had already read it I went online to try to return it. Not only did they issue a refund immediately, they told me to keep the book! Great selection and quick shipping make this site a go-to for more than just books.

Second to none
by allisonpickle, January 3, 2013
Where I live, (Great Falls, Montana) you can't just go out and purchase something from a store. What I mean is that with Montana's low population and low income, stores just don't stock much inventory at all. What is available is priced very high and half the time the store has to order it in. A long time ago I gave up trying to purchase items locally as it's way too much of a pain. Have been a longtime user of Amazon.com, they have exactly what I am looking for everytime, and at a price that no store can touch. In the hundred or so transactions that I have had with them, every one of them has gone perfectly. (and that's an understatement) It's so great just sitting here at my computer shopping, buying everything that I need, for a price that's unbeatable. Everytime I try to shop ebay, I get screwed!!! Amazon has a lifelong customer in me.

I did not receive my purchases from Amazon.com LLC and no way to contact them.
by sequim2013, January 1, 2013
I purchased two Blue Ray movies, The Avengers and The Lorax a couple weeks before Christmas and never received them. There was no contact information for Amazon.com LLC and they did not accept my review so I had no recourse or opportunity to recover my more than $50.00 loss. Amazon.com needs to adapt a buyer protection program like Ebay. I will buy from Ebay from now on because my purchases are protected.

Amazon is great...until you have a problem
by josiahcarberry, December 16, 2012
Amazon is great...until you have a problem. Customer service is atrocious, and it's even worse if you're dealing with a merchant who sells through Amazon (rather than Amazon itself). Returns can be challenging, and expect them to edit reviews that they don't like. They have everything, but buy at your own risk. If something goes wrong with the product or shipping, you're in for a big headache.

Amazon Customer Service is the worst!
by explorer63, December 13, 2012
I bought the Kindle Fire HD 8.9 32gb on December 10 when they had the $50 dollars off. For some reason it gave me the 16 gb instead. I realized the mistake on December 12 So I call Amazon to try and striaghten it out. The 16 GB is on backorder and wont ship till the 17th of December! You think it should be a snap to correct the order "not"!! The customer service rep said they cant change it without losing my promotion discount. Hello I ordered on the day they had the promotion! They say if they change it to a 32 gb I lose the $50 dollar discount promotion. Nice way to screw your loyal customer! Will be shopping elsewhere where customer service dont screw you every time there is a mistake in your order! Update 12/14/12 After many attempts I finally got through to some one that has fixed the problem. They still have alot to inprove on customer service!

Terrible !
by anshutz, November 23, 2012
Worst customer support and service ever - rather use e-bay. Nearly impossible to return items or contact amazon once sale has gone through and they've got their commission. Ordered an expensive product with verbal agreement from seller that I could return the item if I was not happy with it. Well spent whole day trying to return item or contact seller or Amazon and still no joy. Also when I changed address amazon would not allow me to update my address and bank details and just blocked me from buying anything. took nearly a week of frustration to finally get them to allow me to update all my personal info. Have never had this type of frustration and problems with e-bay.

I am playing Monopoly Hotels, and like all free-to-play iOS real-time games (think Farmville, etc), you have a regular currency (Monopoly dollars) and a premium currency (Monopoly gold). I know I can get gold by paying real-world money, but I would like to avoid that.
The game gives you some gold to start with, and then you periodically earn more. I thought it was through levelling up, but my last level-up didn't get me any gold.
What is the in-game free way to earn gold?

Just as the title says I'm searching for a great desktop search engine with nice Unity integration. Beagle used to be cool but for some reason it has been discontinued so it is out of the question. Finally the recommended app must be very fast when rendering search results
Recoll is probably the most versatile at the moment. But the GUI is really not nice. If you have some skills, I think the developer would be happy for any help.
Tracker is an alternative, but it looks like there are no recent updates.
DocFetcher seems to be good as well, nicer GUI. But it is only for documents, not pictures, music, mails, ...
As of September 14 2011, Google Desktop is no longer available for download, and existing installations will not be updated to include new features or fixes. Why that?
Tracker is probably the best bet, will work with your regular "Search for files" application.
I would also recommend looking at Recoll. Although it is ugly and Qt based ( these two things aren't related ) it uses the awesome Xapian search engine on the backend. It is a bit of a hassle to set it up and get it to index regularly but depending on your needs may be a good fit.
you could try google desktop
i've used it before unity and it worked very well, i'm on kde at this stage so no idea about it's unity integration

For writing a editorial note covering some misjudgement facts (basically criticism of new policies based on failed results), I am writing in a sarcastic tone to get the message clear and effective as far as getting reactions (positively in action and ideal manner).
Would that be good idea considering that the majority of the readers is aged between 18-27?
Or any other manner you can suggest.
It's a students' college magazine raising academic issues, a kind of indirect communication bridge between students and the faculty to get their attention in their implemented rules, covering tuition-fees, assignments, publications of papers and views on new rules and their expected results.

eBooks and eReaders are still relatively new, but they've had a major impact on literature. What impact has eBooks and eReaders had on the production of literature (specifically books)?
migrated from literature.stackexchange.com Apr 26 '12 at 21:50
There are quite a few ways to approach and answer this question:
It's still to early to say what impact they'll have on book stores and libraries, but overall they had a quite positive impact on literature.
*I won't go to deep in the discussion on pricing of ebooks. You can claim that some providers like Amazon are asking way to much for an ebook (sometimes even more than the printed version), but this would bring us to far off topic.
Frankly, I read a lot more of what I would term "Literature" than I ever used to, simply because large chunks of it are in the public domain. Given the amount I read, "free" is a powerful motivator.
That being said, I absolutely refuse to pay for ebooks. I work in the publishing industry, and the claims that the costs of the physical product being equal or nearly equal to the cost of the digital product are a sick joke (The e-edition is basically what they send to the printer, so that work has to be done for both products. The printing and distribution have a massive cost associated, and it keeps going higher due to increasing costs in paper, ink, and gasoline.) Until they fix the pricing, I'm abstaining.
For one, it probably requires the author/editor/publisher to do layout and writing in a way that will suit different formats, besides just print. Images don't always work well on a reader (such as the Kobo) due to size or colour.
Writing with electronic formats in mind enables preview versions of the material, since electronic output is easier to create and distribute than print. Unfortunately, pricing does not always reflect this - sometimes ebooks cost more than their print counterparts!
On the whole, I think ebooks and ereaders make literature more accessible, due to the portability and the ease of finding new things to read. It also makes publishing more accessible since it's possible to output just electronic books without a print version, reducing costs and processes.
One huge effect is that it has made many authors' backlists available again.

WEIRTON - Family, friends and co-workers will gather at 9 a.m. Thursday at the Steelworkers Memorial Park to remember the 117 men who died while working in the Weirton Steel Company plant from 1919 to 1999.
A bagpiper will play, two volunteers will ring a bell and the names of all 117 steelworkers will be read during the hour-long ceremony that is open to the public.
The first name to be read Thursday morning will be Lewis Chaney. The 21-year-old Chaney was the first work-related casualty in the new steel mill when he died on April 11, 1919, "from a concussion of the brain due to being struck on the head by a piece of steel."

REMEMBERING THE FALLEN — Mark Glyptis, left, president of the United Steelworkers Local 2911 and Mike Jacobs, the union's safety and health coordinator look at the list of 117 names of steelworkers who died while working at the Weirton Steel Company. The steelworkers union local will hold a Workers Memorial Day ceremony at 9 a.m. Thursday at the Steelworkers Memorial Park at the corner of state Route 2 and Pennsylvania Avenue in Weirton. -- Dave Gossett
The last fatality at the Weirton mill came on Oct. 16, 1999 when Marvin Clifton was fatally injured while working on the railroad.
"I can remember several of these guys and there is a story behind each name. They are all tragic but interesting at the same time," according to Mike Jacobs, safety and health coordinator for the United Steelworkers Local 2911 in Weirton.
"Fortunately, we have not had a fatal accident in the mill since 1999. The union and the company, along with our safety people, work very hard to educate the workers on the need for safety. To lose someone to a mill-related accident is a terrible loss," said Jacobs.
"We invite everyone who ever worked in the mill to join us for the ceremony. Bob Hoover and Bob Macek, both pastors and steelworkers, will read the names of our fallen steelworkers. And, we will ring a bell after each name to remember those steelworkers. We want the families to know we have not forgotten the fallen steelworkers," stated Jacobs.
Jacobs said the union still is trying to reach family members of steelworkers fatally injured in the Weirton mill.
"A lot of the records have been lost over the past 100 years. So if there is a family member who had someone killed in the steel mill, please contact the union hall at (304) 748-8080. We have added nine names to our memorial wall during the past two years" Jacobs said.
"April 26 is Workers Memorial Day for us. It is also Global Health and Safety Day for ArcelorMittal. The union and the company have several events planned for the day all designed to increase safety awareness," noted Jacobs.
Current steelworker Earl Tuttle will talk about his father, Ira Tuttle, who was fatally injured in the steel mill on Jan. 22, 1963.
The Weirton Steelworkers Memorial project was started in 2004 by officials of the former Independent Steelworkers Union who hoped to create a memorial park to honor those who died in the mill or as a result of work-related injuries.
Weirton officials donated the corner lot at Main Street and Pennsylvania Avenue to the project and have agreed to maintain the property.
"It has been a long time coming, but I am very glad the memorial has been completed. These people made the ultimate sacrifice while working in the mill. It is only right that we remember them with this memorial listing their names and remember them every year on Worker Memorial Day," said Mark Glyptis, president of USW Local 2911.
"I am very pleased we have had the cooperation of the city and the company in creating this memorial. The number of steelworkers who were fatally injured in the 1930s, 1940s, 1950s and 1960s is staggering. Fortunately, we have all learned how to work safer. But when I walk in the strip steel where Bob Pitcock died in 1992, or the tin mill where Ronald Heaton died and near the railroad site where Marvin Clifton died I still remember those men and what happened. It's something we can't ever forget," Glyptis said.
"I hope and pray we never have another fatality in our mill. But we don't want to forget those who died. The memorial service is open to the public, and I will welcome all surviving family members to join us as we remember our fallen steelworkers," he added.

It is true. The State of Washington has similar agreements with British Columbia, Germany and Korea.
As long as your BC license is valid, you can follow the procedures same to the people holding an out-of-state US license. See here. This is only for British Columbia licenses, other Canadian licenses holders should take the test.

I use a Catmull-Rom spline, each section built from a set of cubic functions
p = x(t), y(t), z(t).
I was looking at Frenet Formulas but it's not working as desired... . Generating
T = (x'(t),y'(t),z'(t)) is easy, using
B = (x''(t),y''(t),z''(t)) isn't doing what I expect... T and B are not orthogonal.
Looking at it more closely I'm not convinced this is what should happen. Am I misunderstanding the math, or misunderstanding what F-S is for?
As a concrete example let's say:
x(t) = 2t^3 + t^2 - 3t + 6
y(t) = t^3 - 2t^2 + 4t
z(t) = -3t^3 + 4t^2 + 2t - 9

"I was very impressed with the entire process from the selection, to the pricing, to the customer service, to the quality! If I could, I would buy all my wedding stuff from this company (beyond paper items!) I highly recommend Wedding Paper Divas!"
"The designer of the card was great. They reworked the spacing because my information was a lot more than the sample. They were really able to make the card feel like it was made for my wedding"
"I am so happy with these invitations! They are simple, yet beautiful and classy. I wanted to put all the information (reception and all) on one card, and I needed to make a second set in another language. The designer followed my instructions perfectly and made great suggestions to fit the text on the page. They turned out even better than expected. The paper quality (I used the shimmer paper) was excellent. I would recommend the shimmer paper. I can't say enough about the service as well. The proofs were done so quickly, the people on the phone were amazing and friendly and the package was delivered days ahead of time. The only hiccup I had was that they were unable to tell me what the customs/duties would be so I had to just keep my fingers crossed. In the end, it wasn't so expensive (about $60 for Canada). I would recommend Wedding Paper Divas to any bride-to-be!"
"I ordered this invitation for my upcoming destination wedding. Designing the invitation was easy and they have specialized reviewers who will check your projects for any spelling or grammar errors. I submitted my invite and in less than a day the reviewer had already emailed me with some recommended changes. The product arrived the exact date as promised and I was happy to see that they were larger than expected. The photo quality was excellent and all of my family friends truly loved them! I was so happy with this purchase and will definetly recommend this website to future buyers!"
"Was worried about ordering the invitations online, sight unseen, but I could not be happier with the end result! They were delivered a week before I expected them, and the quality of the paper and over product was exceptional."
