When I turn the water on to take a bath the water don't run it just drips and takes hours to fill the tub or I have to add pots of water is there a way for this to be fixed or do I have to call a plumber.
There are quite a few factors that could be effecting the water flow to your tub. Some of these include pinched plastic type water line, low water pressure, shredded seals inside a single handle mixer valve, excessive mineral deposit in the faucet, debris deposit inside your water line such as fine sand or other particulate, possibly even a totally clogged water filtration system or a non functioning water softener.
If you are unsure about trying to isolate what, if any of these possible causes, could be the problem with your system then you would be best advised to call in a professional plumber.

I have a reference request concerning Proposition 1.6 in the following article http://projecteuclid.org/DPubS?service=UI&version=1.0&verb=Display&handle=euclid.bams/1183548783
The setting: Let $G$ be a locally compact, second countable group. Let $S = (S, \mu)$ be a Polish space. Assume we have a Borel measurable action $G \times S \rightarrow S$. Assume that $\mu$ is quasi invariant.
The statement: There is a standard measure space $E = (E, \nu)$ with G invariant measurable map $\phi :S \rightarrow E$ such that $\phi_*(\mu)=\nu$ and $\mu = \int^\oplus \mu_y d \nu(y)$, where $\mu_y$ is supported on $\phi^{-1}(y)$, $\mu_y$ quasi invariant and ergodic for almost all $y$.
I have tried to recover this result via Choquet theory, but I am not sure what topology to put on the quasi invariant measures, since measure classes are not closed in the $*$ topology. What is the right topology on quasi invariant Radon measures, such that they form a locally compact convex subset of a topological vectorspace?
Additional question: If the action is topological, say $E$ is a Polish space, and smooth in the sense that $G \backslash X$ is $T_0$ or equivalently almost Hausdorff, how can we relate $E$ and $G \backslash X$? Since $E$ is Hausdorff and $G \backslash X$ only almost Hausdorff, I am not sure how to relate the topologies.

I solved the problem using this (horribly inefficient method):
def createList(word, wordList):
#Made a set, because for some reason permutations was returning duplicates.
#Returns all permutations if they're in the wordList
return set([''.join(item) for item in itertools.permutations(word) if ''.join(item) in wordList])
def main():
a = open('C:\\Python32\\megalist.txt', 'r+')
wordList = [line.strip() for line in a]
maximum = 0
length = 0
maxwords = ""
for words in wordList:
permList = createList(words, wordList)
length = len(permList)
if length > maximum:
maximum = length
maxwords = permList
print (maximum, maxwords)
It took something like 10 minutes to find the five-letter word that has the most dictionary-valid anagrams. I want to run this on words without a letter constraint, but it would take a ludicrous amount of time. Is there anyway to optimize this?

This is really good. The first time I made it, we couldn't find any chard-so we used arugula. Then next time, we used chard, which I found to be a little tough and a little bit bitter (maybe it was old? I've never had chard before). Anyway, I prefer the arugula. It's a nice filling recipe-we're using it to cut down on our meat consumption.
Skillet Gnocchi with Chard & White Beans

I don't know how anybody could give this recipe less than 5 stars! It was incredibly delicious and extremely easy to throw together. I've already bought more gnocchi to make it again!
Easy and delicious! Tasted just as good the next day reheated for lunch. The gnocchi soaked up the oil in the pan but I have a great non-stick pan and they didn't stick at all, just got lightly browned in a few spots. I also used fresh baby spinach instead of chard. I'm sure a box of frozen spinach defrosted with the water squeezed out would work just as well, and I always have that on hand. I had the pizza cheese blend, mozzarella and cheddar, so I used that as well. If you think the gnocchi aren't soft enough, just leave them in a few minutes longer once you return to the pan with the juice from the canned tomatoes, before adding the cheese. Going to send this recipe to a friend I have that is a vegetarian.
This recipe is very, VERY good. We couldn't believe how flavorful it was. I did add a bit of italian seasoning but that's it. I love the suggestions to add artichoke hearts. I don't think there is a need to add any animal protein to this as it is quite satisfying all on it's own. Too much animal protein in American's diet anyway. This recipe is a good way to reduce consumption. Did I say that it was very, VERY good?
so good! added turkey sausage and it was very very filling!

Rockin' Republik
THE PARTY Honolulu nightlife regulars and industry aficionados made for a full house at the much-anticipated opening of The Republik in the space formerly held by the O Lounge. The packed party made for a hot introduction to the city's first concert venue since the closing of Pipeline Cafe in 2011. THE HIGHLIGHTS Armed with chill tunes, DJ Soundcheck set a properly hip vibe that easily accented the artsy interior in The Safehouse, The Republik's modern lounge. While enjoying the luscious custom cocktails, guests soaked in the loft-style atmosphere: larger-than-life portraits, modernist chandeliers hanging from a deconstructed ceiling, and black and white furniture. But the climax came when the massive concert space was unveiled, kicking off a night of live performances. THE PLAYERS Owners Chip Jewitt (formerly of Apartm3nt), Matty Hazelgrove, Philip Pendleton and Aubry Boutin; General Manager Robert Ramsey; nightlife staples Christa Wittmier, Flash Hansen, Derin Derego and Molly Watanabe; designer Matt Bruening; chef Keli'i Heen.

Museum director and curator Luis Croquer, who selected Hall and about 40 other international artists for the exhibition, said, "His projects are diverse, and he's consistent. He's using found materials, making social connections and speaking to city life. He also has a great capacity to make his own proposals, to not come up with something too literal or locked in itself. It's universal and very layered."
Hall, who is also a serious jazz musician and co-owner of the Russell Street Deli with alumnus Jason Murphy '09 (read more), "makes large, beguiling sculptures from found materials like turntables, basketball hoops, fire hoses and fur pelts with their heads still attached," the Free Press wrote. "He also makes disarmingly beautiful drawings and prints by burning paper to create the marks and transferring oxidized color from rusty plates."
Hall studied music and art at Bennington, and started graduate school in art this fall at Columbia University.

6 Classic Kids Shows Slapped Together From Recycled Material
#3. Voltron Was Two Shows Edited Together
The Classic Show You Loved:
The premise of Voltron couldn't be simpler: Five lion-shaped space robots combine into a bigger robot and kick ass all over the galaxy. In the second season they introduced a different Voltron made out of cars, but soon enough the far more popular lion version was brought back.
Because a robot made of cars would make no sense.
But Actually ...
You've probably guessed by now that Voltron was a combination of two different shows (the one with the lions and the one with the cars). What you might not know is that in the process of editing these two Japanese cartoons together, they cut out enough gore, death and atrocities to make up seven more Saw movies. Seriously, this shit is heavy -- like this censored scene from the very first episode that starts out innocently enough, and then this happens:
Goodbye innocence.
Or this one where some alien slaves are brutally whipped, or this other one where they're whipped again, even harder. Or, hey, how about some mass destruction and screaming babies? Or this dude shooting himself in the head. Some of these are choreographed like Tarantino movies.
"Don't worry, kids! There's always a way out of your crippling depression!"
It just goes on and on. There was at least one violent character death in every episode, and the people adapting this thing for American television had to flip over backward to cut all that stuff out and still end up with a show that made some degree of sense. For example, in the U.S. version, the good guys always made sure to mention that the enemies had been evacuated from their ships before they were blown up, or that they were all actually robots. Their Japanese counterparts simply did not give a fuck. Here's one of the good guys brutally impaling a dude:
Not even the main characters were safe: When the character Sven was dramatically killed off in Japan, the U.S. version "saved" him by adding a completely disconnected line of dialogue about taking him to a doctor -- to which he replies "Take me there fast!" in a ridiculous voice, when he's already dead (at 0:44 in this clip).
In the end this worked out for the best, though, because this character was so popular in Japan that they eventually introduced his twin brother -- in the U.S. version, the brother was simply a recuperated Sven coming back to the team like nothing happened. Another time, they made up for the fact that the main character was obviously crying (over yet another censored death) by having him comment that the heat in his spaceship was getting really intense.
"I just ... I just REALLY LIKE THESE EYE DROPS, GUYS."
#2. Battle of the Planets Was Recycled Into Three Different Shows
The Classic Show You Loved:
Battle of the Planets is about a group of five teens in bird costumes who travel across the universe fighting an evil galactic empire, with the help of their robot sidekick.
At no point do planets literally battle, sadly.
Or, if you're a little younger, you might remember those guys as an Earth-based superhero team called G-Force, and if you're even younger than that, you might swear that they're called Eagle Riders. Well, there's an explanation for all that ...
But Actually ...
This is like the opposite of all the other examples in this list, because in this case, a single show from Japan (Science Ninja Team Gatchaman) was recycled into three different cartoons in America. The first and possibly most famous was Battle of the Planets, which debuted in 1978 and hilariously tried to pass off Gatchaman as a Stars Wars rip-off, even though it wasn't even set in space.
Notice there's no robot. And that they're all tripping balls.
If it seemed like every strange alien planet the team visited looked exactly like Earth, that's because it always was -- the translators simply added a line or two saying "Hey, so, we're totally on another planet right now, you guys," when in fact they never even left Earth. The bad guys weren't aliens at all, they were just bad guys.
This is how all street thugs dress in Japan.
As for the annoying robot sidekick, 7-Zark-7 ... yeah, they just pasted that shit on top of the original cartoon. In retrospect, this was really obvious, because the two animation styles were radically different and you rarely saw members of the team interact with Zark (and if they did, it was through a screen), but as a kid you tended to overlook that sort of thing.
Because you were stupid.
7-Zark-7 was also used to make up for all the violent or depressing scenes they had to cut out, because Japan can't just make a damned cartoon without trying to bring everyone down. So, for example, a scene like this with 7-Zark-7 flapping around and literally doing nothing for two minutes ...
... was typically created to replace another scene like this one where the two main guys (Mark and Jason in the U.S. version) beat the crap out of each other while sounding all angsty and dramatic.
They tried a funny dub, but it was undermined by Mark repeatedly punching Jason in the face.
Other times, they used Zark to explain that someone who died in the episode was actually OK, even if we literally just watched them explode into a million pieces, like in this U.S./Japan comparison:
So you see the couple (whose bodies have been rigged to explode) embrace their fate:
And right at the moment where the Japanese version shows them being blown to chunks:
The American version has the robot:
"And then they lived happily ever after in a completely non-jarring tonal shift!"
Incidentally, in the Japan version the bad guy, Zoltar, was actually a hermaphrodite -- in the U.S., they simply pretended that his female form was his "sister," leading to all sorts of crazy sitcom-like misunderstandings.
One episode had him meeting his boss while having dinner with his family in the same restaurant.
Two more Gatchaman adaptations were created later on: G-Force in the '80s and Eagle Riders in the '90s (in the middle of the Power Rangers boom). G-Force used the exact same episodes as Battle of the Planets, but with the reduced censorship and lack of Star Wars copyright infringement, it was practically a different show. We're looking forward to the next iteration, Bird Naruto SquarePants 3D.
#1. Robotech Was Three Unrelated Shows Pasted Together (And It Worked)
The Classic Show You Loved:
Robotech is credited with starting the interest in Japanese animation in the U.S. when it debuted in the '80s -- others came first, but this is the one that proved that animated shows didn't necessarily have to be dumbed down, hacked up pieces of shit with no consistency or character development to make it in America.
Not when we can just do it ourselves by taking things out of context!
Robotech is an epic multi-generational saga showing Earth's decades-long war against ruthless alien invaders, beginning in the futuristic year 1999. The most fascinating thing about it was the way the world's landscape changed as its protagonists were replaced by their descendants and successors -- not many animated shows would dare dumping their lead character halfway through the series and replacing him with someone else, and Robotech did that twice.
And everyone got a lot girlier with each change.
But Actually ...
Of course, this was all accidental. The only reason Robotech changed protagonists is that it was actually three unrelated shows put together, one after the other, and it all happened because of broadcasting rules. You see, in 1984, an American distribution company wanted to license a Japanese series called Super Dimension Fortress Macross in the U.S., but there was one little problem: They needed 65 episodes to get the series into syndication, and Macross only had 36. So, they ended up buying two more shows (by the same animation studio, but featuring different characters and settings) and combined all three into one longer series.
Similarly, Finland tried this with Dallas, ALF and CHiPs, but it didn't quite take.
The first show was about an alien invasion (in a contemporary setting), the second about a futuristic war between humans and aliens and the third about post-apocalyptic Earth -- they simply pretended these were different stages of the same alien invasion, merging the three alien races into one, and that was it. Character names were changed to make it seem like they were related: For example, the main character of the second "generation" was said to be the daughter of two important characters in the first. While the plots were left largely unchanged, much of the dialogue was modified to create a consistent mythology. They even created an entirely new episode merging footage from the different shows to establish a direct connection.
Same person, but not really.
The shocking thing here is that the stunt actually worked -- watching Robotech, you wouldn't suspect it was three different shows unless someone told you. The thing is, they went out of their way to make sure the cobbled-together story made sense, when they could have just pulled a Voltron and left it at that. Robotech was a ratings success, and at one point they even had sequel series and an animated movie in development. The creators imagined "a huge, incredibly ambitious saga, that would eventually take the plot into a giant loop, ending where it began."
However, Robotech toys weren't selling as well as expected. Part of the problem was that several Macross models had already been licensed to other U.S. toy companies -- the single most recognizable robot in all of Robotech was off limits due to Hasbro licensing it as "Jetfire" of the Transformers series. Some of the stuff they tried to sell instead was kind of baffling:
That's a Robotech doll house, and we're not kidding.
Since the entire purpose of merging these three shows together was selling Japanese toys, the sequel plans were cancelled, and that was practically the end of Robotech -- almost every other attempt to revive the franchise has been aborted or never left the planning stages. But hey, at least they never compromised their dignity.
Well, almost never.

The Battles of the Somme: the Battle of Pozières Ridge (23 July - 3 September 1916)
By late July 1916, the limited advances at the southern end of the British line risked a dangerous narrowing of the attack front. The Battle of Pozières Ridge represented an attempt to exert renewed pressure on the strategically important central uplands, notably around the vital positions of Thiepval and Pozières. The principal responsibility for securing Pozières (and German positions on the ridge above) was entrusted to I Anzac Corps, part of General Gough's Reserve Army.
At 12.30am on 23 July infantry of the 1st Australian Division dashed towards the village, screened by an intense hurricane bombardment. Assisted by British 1st Division on the right and the 48th Division on the left, the Australians quickly secured their first objectives. Subsequent consolidation of the village encountered violent German counter-attacks and continuous enemy shellfire. The 1st Division held on amidst intense fighting until relieved by the 2nd Australian Division on 27 July. Repeated efforts were then made to move up the ridge beyond the village towards the 'windmill' and the German second line positions on the crest, which, after a series of costly local assaults, was in Australian hands by 5 August.
Possession of the crest enabled Gough to direct a series of bitterly contested attacks - often hastily improvised - in the direction of Mouquet Farm. These were countered by bombardments and violent German counter-attacks, resulting in brutal close fighting with bomb and bayonet. Mouquet Farm was occupied several times but not retained. Following the final Australian attacks on 4 September Canadian units replaced the Australian forces. Mouquet Farm did not fall until 26 September, following the seizure of Thiepval by the 18th Division.

She was an avid animal lover and enjoyed reading and watching television, as well as taking family trips, especially when the family would travel together to Disney World in Florida. She was extremely proud of her Irish heritage and the fact that she had obtained dual citizenship in Ireland.
What always made Patricia the happiest was spending time with her family, making sure that everyone would laugh, have fun, and enjoy one another's company. Pat also looked forward to her many "girls dinner night" when she would gather with her friends and enjoy a meal, friendship and laughter. She was a parishioner of Blessed Sacrament Church.
Besides her husband, Ralph, of 51 years, Patricia is survived by her sons, Michael Devino, and William Devino of Middlebury; her daughters, Monica Devino-Donofrio and her husband, Steven, of Shelton, Susan Devino-Moriarty and her husband, Michael, of Waterbury, Kathryn Harnish and her husband, George, of Middlebury, and Patricia Hall and her husband, David, of Orange; her brothers, James McLaughlin of Kansas, Kevin McLaughlin of Bethlehem; her sister, Sheila Post of Atlanta, Ga.; her six grandchildren; her great-granddaughter; and many nieces and nephews. She was predeceased by her son, Paul Devino, and her brothers, William J. and Timothy McLaughlin, as well as her sister, Catherine McKenna, and her uncle, Monsignor James Leary.
Funeral services for Mrs. Devino will be held 10 a.m. Friday, Nov. 30, 2012, at Blessed Sacrament Church, 182 Robbins St., Waterbury, to celebrate the Liturgy of Christian Burial. Those planning on attending are asked to meet directly at the church. Calling hours and committal services will be held privately at the convenience of the family.
Memorial contributions in Mrs. Devino's memory may be made to Saint Jude's Children's Research Hospital, 501 Saint Jude's Place, Memphis TN 38105.

" I'm really sorry for the lost of Mrs. Devino. I know how difficult of a time this is because about two years ago I lost my grandfather. What helped me get through that difficult time was reading the bible. There were a few scriptures that I felt to be comforting. The first was in Ecclesiastes 9:5 which talks about how people who die are not being tortured but are in a sleep like state. The second scripture is Acts 24:15 which says how people who have died will be brought back to life. The third scripture is in Revelation 21:4 which says how there will come a time when there is no more grieving, pain, and death. "

Zucchetto swap.
What happens when well-wishers ask Pope Francis if he can try on the new zucchetto they brought him, and a cardinal says he can't? You get one guess.

Thanks :0) Ah, if he'd only been chosen last time, and kept Ratzinger as a valued counselor. But here we are now, thank Heaven.
The encouraging thing is that the Cardinal himself seemed to enjoy the tiny drama. Looks like Francis the Irrepressible might win the Battle of the Curia.
I remember reading, several years ago, that trading zuchettos with the Pope was something that anyone introduced to him at a reception could do. The people being introduced in the video are members of the US Papal foundation, of which Cardinal Wuerl is the Chairman. You can join the Papal Foundation by agreeing to contribute $1 million at the rate of at least $100,00 per year. You get the title of "Steward of Saint Peter"http://www.thepapalfoundation.org/be-a-stewardbe-a-steward/how-to-become... Vatican article on the receptionhttp://en.radiovaticana.va/Articolo.asp?c=681824
A heartwarming Francis does it again! Bless him, indeed.John Hayes: That's a minimum of 100K a year until a million is reached.I did notice Justin Rigali and Theodore McCarrick in line ahead of Wuerl as Francis greeted each. I wonder how McCarrick escapes consequences of this posting by psychotherapist and former priest Richard Sipe under the title The McCarrick Syndrome. http://www.richardsipe.com/Comments/2008-04-21-McCarrick_Syndrome.html Snip:"Excerpts from the legal Settlement Documents include firsthand accounts that are also in the Newark Archdiocese records of an incident on a trip with McCarrick, then Archbishop of Newark, New Jersey, with a seminarian and two young priests when they shared a room with two double beds, it reads: (A graphic mediation report follows) "On another occasion McCarrick summoned the young man to drive him from the Newark Cathedral to New York City. He took him to dinner; and after, rather than returning to Newark as anticipated McCarrick went to a one-room apartment that housed one bed and a recliner chair. McCarrick said that he would take the chair, but after showering he turned off the lights and clad in his underwear he climbed into bed with his guest. Here is the account from the documents:(detailed account of assault follows)"In a letter dated four days after this incident McCarrick wrote a note signed Uncle Ted that said in part: I just wanted to say thanks for coming on Friday evening. I really enjoyed our visit. Youre a great kid and I know the Lord will continue to bless youYour uncle has great spots to take you to!!! It's all in the documents for anyone to take heed. I am sickened at seeing McCarrick in Clementine Hall with our new pope. When will someone in authority truly listen??
Further news from Vatican City for Thursday, 11 April:Pope Francis met for the first time with a group of ten bishops on their ad limina visit. The bishops were from Tuscany. The formal room in the Apostolic Palace was set up according to custom, with the pope sitting against the far wall and the bishops, arranged by seniority, sitting in two parallel rows facing each other.Usually in recent years, the pope has been greeted in a formal address by the ranking bishop (Thursday, Cardinal Betori of Florence), and then the pope addressed the bishops. Afterwards, each bishop was briefly greeted by the pope. (In past decades, each bishop had a one-on-one meeting of about fifteen to twenty minutes with the pope, but this has become increasingly difficult for two reasons, the large number of bishops worldwide and, more recently, the failing health of Pope John Paul II and, in the past two years, Pope Benedict XVI.)Today, it appears that there were no speeches, AND Pope Francis invited the bishops to re-arrange the chairs into a circle, including one for himself. He then invited each bishop to give a description of his diocese, and afterwards there was a fully participative interchange on pastoral issues. Bishop to bishop.When the second group of Tuscan bishops comes today for their ad limina meeting, I suspect that the chairs will already be set up in a circle.Ann Olivier:Perhaps I have misunderstood, but the cardinal who is presenting the Papal Foundation (founded in the early 1980s by Cardinal John Krol) benefactors to the pope is not a curial cardinal. He is the archbishop of Washington, Donald Wuerl.
John P. ==Yes, he does look like Cardinal Wuerl. Oh, well.
put not your trust in princes...
John Hayes:Members of my family will accuse me of having made this up but I remember being told that a prominent member of a Catholic family in Philadelphia, probably a relative of Cardinal Dougherty, had a zucchetto of the pope (perhaps Pius XI or maybe Pius XII) made into the crown for her wedding veil.
Apparently, the way that it works is that, before meeting the pope, you go to the papal tailors at Gammarelli and request a papal zucchetto; they keep the pope's measurements on hand and make one. Traditionally, when you present the zucchetto to the pope, he gives you his old one as something between a souvenir and a relic.Pius XII embraced this custom so thoroughly that he would trade zucchettos many times in a single audience. The custom took a blow when John XXIII, in reaction against it, kept the new zucchetto without handing over his old one. Apparently he felt it lead to sort of cult of the papacy that made him uncomfortable. His successors (John Paul II, Benedict) occasionally continued the custom, but it never regained its pre-conciliar popularity.
Is everyone who has an individual meeting the Pope expected to bring a hat?
I can only wonder if, in times past, some of the ladies might have thought of giving a pope their white hankie worn upon entering a Catholic church :-)
Package Tracker Update: Confirmed that one (1) New York Yankees cap delivered to the Vatican. Photos of Pope Francis wearing cap and a pinstripe cassock to be released soon.
Yankees will need the Pope's prayers this year.
True enough, Irene. [sigh] ;)
This sounds like that Dr. Who episode (I think it was the very first one when they relaunched the franchise a few years ago) in which the Doctor and his fetching tag-along du jour (Billie Piper, I think) attend a posh event: the final death of planet Earth (millions of years in the future, of course). As each intergalactic equivalent of Eurotrash arrives, a ritual exchange of gifts is de rigeur. The Doctor, crashing the party as usual, is unprepared for this, but with typical resourcefulness, graciously breathes into the face of each guest, gifting each one with "air from my lungs".
graciously breathes into the face of each guest, gifting each one with air from my lungs.Kind of reminds me of: ' he breathed on them and said to them, Receive the Holy Spirit." '
I wonder if Patti Smith gave him a hat? http://www.rawstory.com/rs/2013/04/10/punk-rocker-patti-smith-meets-pope...
John Page:The Papal Foundation website says that it was founded in 1988 and makes no mention of Cardinal Krol, who resigned Feb. 1988. I find it interesting that there are scripture passages interspersed throughout, e.g.,I guess that this passage is understandable: Give to others, and God will give to you. (Luke 6:38)But this passage (?):You did not choose me, but I chose you (John 15:16)
Who was the man at the pope's side who said No?(And where is Ganzwein these days? Wouldn't haberdashery be under his purview?)And what's this about? http://news.yahoo.com/pope-meets-vatican-administrators-ahead-changes-to...
Helen:In his April 1996 address to The Papal Foundation, Pope John Paul II pays tribute to Cardinal John Krol as founder and president of the organization.http://www.vatican.va/holy_father/john_paul_ii/speeches/1996/april/docum...
I innocently thought that Opus Dei and KofC were the only informal semi-official conduit to the Roman ear!!! Are there anymore in the US? Don't put me on any mailing lists as my net worth is pitiful.
Mary: I'm sure that you could claim to be the founder of Catholics for Libertarian Lizards and if your offering was large enough, it would be received by some cardinal or another with gracious words, open hands and a rosary that had been blessed by Georg Ganswein ... but no zuchetto or red shoes.
Legatus is a somewhat less expensive operation restricted to CEOs and suchlike of companies of a certain size - and their spouses. Tom Monaghan founded it. "The only organization in the world designed exclusively for top-ranking Catholic business leaders and their spouses. In a dynamic way, Legatus brings together the three key areas of a Catholic business leaders life Faith, Family and Business connecting two powerful realities, the challenge of top-tier business leadership and a religious tradition second to none.Legatus, the Latin word for ambassador, exists to help you become an ambassador for Christ (2Cor 5:20) and help you meet the challenges of balancing the responsibilities of faith, family, business and community. Since 1987 Legatus has been bringing together Catholic business leaders and their spouses in a unique format that fosters spiritual growth, formation and commitment."The world needs genuine witnesses to Christian ethics in the field of business, and the Church asks you to fulfill this role publicly and with perseverance. Pope John Paul IIAddress to LegatusVatican City, 1988http://www.legatus.org/about"Exclusive PilgrimagesEnjoy Legatus annual pilgrimage where members see Rome and other pilgrimage sites like no other pilgrims."http://www.legatus.org/benefits
Denver chapter says you can join the Legatus chapter there for $3,000 per year after the first year initiation fee. I imagine you would spend quite a lot more than that for travel expenses for their national meetings and pilgrimages$300 of your annual dues goes to the Holy See.
My Dad went on a trip to Rome once with a Catholic group called the Knights of the Holy Sepulchre (their chaplain had been made a Cardinal and my Dad went along to write a story about it).I don't know anything about them, but they seemed a little more (influential? prominent?) than the Knights of Columbus.
Which cardinal said the Pope can't? I didn't see that in the clip.
If you listen carefully you can half make out and half make up some words: " switch hats you can't do that what do you mean?"
Thanks Claire, I did hear that when I turned up the volume. Glad to see Pope Francis is not reluctant to exercise his "papal authority." (And that the Cardinal happily accepted his decision)
The pope, while going through the motions/pleasantries, thinking to himself: "My God, these people take this stuff seriously!!!"
And why don't they just call it what it is, a yarmulke?
Irene B: oh yes, indeedy ..... much more influential, prominent and wealthier than the average KofC member:http://www.holysepulchre.net/history/membership.html
If it's an equestrian order (?), somebody must be on horseback, too? No?I think the Knights of Columbus 4th Degree can give the Sepulchre guys a run for the money, outfit-wise. http://www.kofcsupplies.com/ccp0-catshow/4thdegreecolorcorps.htmlThough members of the Order of the Alhambra get to wear a fez, which is tough to beat.
I know a Lady of the Holy Sepulchre and her husband, now deceased, made a middling-sized fortune doing construction work for the Archdiocese of Chicago.Their churchly largesse (considering that they also had 9 children, all of whom went to Catholic colleges and universities at no small cost) was quite noticeable, even back in the 1960s and 1970s. She and he were ushered into Holy Sepulchre on the wings of a snow white dove!
Irene: I'll bet that there isn't a huge market for this:No. 400/A - Commemorative Color Corps Statue (4 )- African-American4th Degree Color Corps Statue. African-American. 4" hand painted plastic statue in full color regalia. Specify regalia color.

It all sounds like Mardi Gras to me.

This Patient Pointers was written by Cecelia George, the wife of a man diagnosed with early-stage prostate cancer. Since her husband's diagnosis, one of her goals has been to educate other women about prostate cancer and to encourage the men in their lives to practice healthy behaviors.
Most women don't like "bugging" their men. However, if your spouse or significant other is dragging his feet about getting a prostate examination, you may need to take the initiative. Make the appointment, lasso him, and drive him in for the test.
Women undergo mammograms, Pap smears, and endless waiting for results. While men see to it that we take care of ourselves, their health is a horse of a different color. And while I'm talldng about horses, I hereby give you permission to be a nag (just about this one thing) and get him in for prostate testing. Macho men often take the view that nothing bad can happen to them, but statistics prove otherwise.
In the American Cancer Society's Cancer Facts & Figures-1992, there were an estimated 132,000 new cases of prostate cancer in the United States.
The report estimates that 165,000 cases and 35,000 deaths from prostate cancer will occur in 1993. Approximately 1 in every 11 men will develop prostate cancer. This is second only to skin cancer as the most common cancer in men. There were an estimated 34,000 deaths from prostate cancer in 1992, the second leading cause of cancer deaths in men.
My husband, Lisle George, is 63 years old. He happened to read a newspaper column where a concerned person wrote in and asked about the PSA (prostate-specific antigert) blood test. Lisle was impressed by the article and went to his family doctor, who refused to give him the test, saying that the digital examination was all that he needed and that he was "fine, not to worry." Lisle was persistent and contacted a new physician.
The doctor said this simple blood test detects PSA, a protein produced only by the prostate that can be increased when cancer is present. The higher the PSA level in the blood, the greater the likelihood that cancer is present and that further testing is needed. Normal levels of the antigert in the prostate are under 4 nanograms per milliliter (ng/mL). Lisle's result was 7 ng/mL.
Lisle was sent to a urologist, and further tests demonstrated that he had prostate cancer. My husband and I were both called in and the doctor ex- plained the options. Being married only 6 years at the time of diagnosis and still called "honeymooners," we did not want anything to change our marital re- lations. Therefore, we chose nerve-sparing surgery. Lisle was sent to a University Medical Center where successful nerve-sparing surgery was performed.
So wives, if you value your man as I do, I strongly suggest that you go ahead--be a nag. Don't let your man be a statistic. I have recently completed training as a certified nurse's aid and had part of my training in a urology unit. Believe me, I saw many patients undergo prostate surgery. In the 1991 report of the community cancer program in which I trained, 269 of the 973 new cancer cases were of the prostate gland. My work now takes me to retirement centers and care centers, and it doesn't take me long to realize that the women are outliving the men. Unlike the digital rectal exam, the PSA blood test is not part of a regular checkup. However, ira man has a family history of prostate cancer or simply desires to have the test done, he should be persistent until a doctor agrees to perform the test. If surgery is necessary, it can be performed, as in Lisle's case, and your lffe can go on together. If you hold your man's hand and get him to doctor and through the recovery period, your relationship will be enriched and you can go on living. We love life and are active people-and we're fortunate that we were persistent enough to push for a diagnosis. Together we battled cancer and won.

StackOverflow contains a lot of questions (peculiarly, in [algorithm] tag), that say, like, "at the current state of art it's unknown whether this problem has a polynomial solution". The thing is that the "current state of art" is constantly changing.
Should there happen a massive cleanup of such answers, when scientists, at last, solve this problem? Or the reference to "current state" are enough to invalidate all such answers as soon as it happens? What measures should we take now to make such a cleanup easier in the future?
Note that this is not "predicting-the-future" question ("when?", or "will it happen?"). It's about "what will we do when it happens?" The scientific progress imposes a serious threat to StackOverflow reputation as a source of up-to-date answers! We should think about our strategies in advance, before it became a serious problem!

WEIRTON - What started as a Vacation Bible School project at one local church is quickly expanding into a program to benefit many in the community.
Over the last few months, members of the Colliers Way Church of Christ have been collecting donations for the creation of "Blessing Bags."
The bags, which are periodically delivered to the Family Medical Care office of CHANGE, Inc. located at Weirton Medical Center, includes a variety of items new mothers may find useful both for themselves and their babies.

Youth Deacon Robert Greiner explained the idea came about during the church's Vacation Bible School program in June.
"It started as a project for the teens," he said.
Once Vacation Bible School was finished, several members of the congregation expressed an interest in continuing the project.
"We talked to the church and asked if it was something they wanted to do every month," Casey Greiner said.
Casey Greiner explained, to date, approximately 150 bags have been prepared and delivered to the medical office.
The bags include a variety of items, including bibs and diapers, lotions and wipes, as well as soaps, a nail file, lip balm and deodorant.
"The staff of CHANGE, Inc. and Women's Health truly appreciates the hard work put forth by the youth group of the Colliers Way Church of Christ," CHANGE Chief Executive Officer Judy Raveaux said. "It is a busy and special time in the life of new families and the 'Blessing Bags' are truly appreciated by all those who receive them."
The Greiners explained they hope to eventually be able to expand the program to offer the Blessing Bags to other area hospitals.

I tried Googling it, but I couldn't find an answer.
I would like private whois, meaning I wouldn't want to display my home address etc.
However, I still would want to list email-address.
Under ICANN's policy for domain names, they all must list the owner of the domain names:
However, some websites (such as GoDaddy and Name.com) are able to use their information instead for about $10/yr. The problem with the email address that usually use is it is a forwarded email address. For example: A WHOIS will list firstname.lastname@example.com but emails that are sent to it are redirected to email@example.com (some registrars also have spam filters that emails must go through first in order to be redirected). To be honest, I wouldn't worry about having your own information in the domain WHOIS because you have to remember the millions (if not billions) of people that have listed their information as well.

The bluray price ain't half bad, either.
This is a great price if you're a fan. Getting 5 seasons for $40 is under $10 / season - that's great for just about any show!

How often do you perform a random act of kindness?
This was asked on a popular website recently. Interesting question...
10 Answers answer
I honestly try to at least SAY something nice three times a day. Of course, the nicest things are the ones you can't plan/don't expect.
The schedule of my random acts of kindness is pretty erratic... I guess you could say they just happen randomly.
@gopvifootball: exactly.
Not nearly enough
Whenever I'm inspired. The trick is to not be "too busy" to follow through once inspired.
Last time we were on vacation we were in a restaurant and there was a family having an issue with their son. He was in his teens and had a severe case of autism or something along those lines. He would start to get very loud and physically violent and his family would calm him down. Unfortunately it got to the point where family members had to escort him out. When they tried to do so he started fighting with them and caused a pretty big scene. The rest of the family looked helpless and we felt terrible for them. We were in Disney "the happiest place on earth" and that's how the family was going to remember their trip? As we finished our meal we asked our waiter to put their tab on our bill. We asked him not to tell them until we left. I figured if its at all possible for them to think of the meal and remember the gesture as opposed to the issue it would make the event a little more tolerable.
Although they may not all be to that extent I try to perform them when I see they are needed.
sometimes when i go through the drive-through at Wendy's/etc., I'll pay for the person behind me. i do this about twice a month. also, i always smile at ppl i make eye contact with on the streets. doesn't take much to encourage others to pass on the kindness
I think of it as an act of courtesy more than an act of kindness I guess, but I always hold doors open for people. Some walk through with not even a glance, but many look at me and look astonished and say thank you. I think it something of a "lost art" of putting someone else before you. Thinking of the most recent big lottery, one of my friends once said, "What if he gets the winning number because you opened the door for him?" I said, then its meant to be for him.
It seems that more common courtesies of allowing someone ahead of you, opening doors and helping that older person reach an item on the top shelf are long gone. But, if I make one persons day a year by doing it, I'll keep doing it.
@cornellbigred: i do that too, tbh. in sit-down restaurants as well when i see someone who might benefit from the gesture (various reasons).
as for answering the question...as often as the opportunity presents itself. it kind of defeats the purpose if you gloat about it though.
Whenever the opportunity presents itself, randomly!
I agree with the idea smiling at people, I always do, and it sometimes can make all the difference in the world to someone. I like to think that by smiling or doing other little things for other (or not so little), it will come back to you in a good way. It's pretty much why I do! And, even if it never does, it makes me feel better, and doesn't hurt me in any way, so why not?

1961 Ford F-100 - Real-World Classic TrucksWritten by on February 23, 2012
'61 Ford F-100
Mike Cahill
Colorado Springs, Colorado
Mike Cahill first got his '61 Unibody back in 1975 as a gift from his grandfather. Being in high school at the time Mike both used it as transportation and as the focus of his rudimentary customization (we all know how 16-year-old boys are). Needless to say it ended up getting parked … 35 years and four children later, Mike finally gained the experience and the extra cash to return his attention to the Ford. With the help of Rob Demasters of Muscle Car Metal Crafters and Sal Difazio of Paint Power & Trim, Mike's Unibody was transformed from junker to jewel. Above and beyond fresh body work, paint, and interior the pickup was treated to a Fatman Mustang II-type frontend, Hot Rod to Hell track arm rear suspension, a John Barret 347-cube stroker motor, Vintage Air A/C, an ididit column, topped by a Billet Specialties steering wheel, a set of Billet Specialties wheels, and numerous other components from Carolina Classics, Mac's, Dennis Carpenter, Speedway Motors, and Summit Racing Equipment. Mike said that both his UPS and FedEx driver's were just as happy as he when the truck was finally completed.

Setting the Bar
Charting a New Course
John Coffee
With the help of some of the country's foremost judges and attorneys, Professor John Coffee has devised a bold new approach for teaching law students the subtle art of litigation strategy.
Does law school turn a blind eye to the critical decision-making in major litigation? Professor John C. Coffee Jr. has devised a new seminar with Justice Jack Jacobs of the Delaware Supreme Court that starts from the premise that civil procedure courses often suffer from a hindsight bias, leading students to assume the actual case outcome was inevitable and foreseeable. In fact, both sides make key decisions under high uncertainty, says Coffee, the Adolf A. Berle Professor of Law. To correct for this bias, his new seminar with Justice Jacobs brings into each class a judge and the litigators from major cases in the Delaware Chancery Court or the Southern District of New York and asks the students to read their briefs—not the decision. The parties and the judge then discuss what they thought were their key choices in framing, trying, writing, and appealing their cases.
"We are drawing back the veil, similar to what was done in The Wizard of Oz, to see the off-stage actors behind the screen—insurers, clients, and others—who often make or veto the critical decisions," Coffee told students in one of the first meetings of the seminar.
In some cases, students found that the more important conflicts were among the defendants themselves: Could they stay united, or did they split and settle individually? In other cases, plaintiffs' counsel competed vigorously for control of the action. Each week, students were transported back to critical moments in important corporate trials and were provided with a looking glass into the minds of the key players at key junctures.
What role, for example, did intense media scrutiny play during the lengthy trial of In Re The Walt Disney Company Derivative Litigation? Were the expert witnesses effective in the United Rentals, Inc. v. RAM Holdings, Inc. case? How close was a settlement before someone—the insurers, fellow defendants, or the client's board—intervened to reject it?
The point, says Coffee, is to show students that litigation often resembles a series of decision trees, with each new decision changing the odds and reshaping the playing field. Often, the key decision is when to settle, and for what. "Even the best litigators have to deal with the cards that they are dealt," he says. "And it is the foolish litigator who does not consider settlement at many points."
When the cases are dissected, the class has sometimes heard that the litigators' advice was rejected by a client who adopted an unwise "damn-the-torpedoes, full-speed-ahead" strategy. "That's the real world," Coffee adds, "where the lawyer needs to be as persuasive with the client as with the judge."
Students were sometimes surprised to hear judges discuss candidly how they protected their decisions from appellate reversal through elaborate fact finding. Other times, the judges were as surprised as the students to learn that cases had provisionally settled, or that defendants were involved in heated discussions with each other.
"To hear the judges say what they were thinking when they wrote their decisions is a really unique opportunity," says student Adam Ross '09, who called Coffee's seminar the best one he has taken at Columbia Law School.

JsBuilder / JsDoc Rails plugin including rake tasks
I've created a Rails plugin for both JsBuiler and JsDoc
it works fabulously. kudos to this excellent java JsBuilder tool.
In addition to wrapping JsBuilder, I've also written a wrapper for some work I've been doing on the jsdoc toolkit
interested? I could put it into my public SVN for you.
>rake js_builder:build project=my_custom_library >rake js_builder:build project=my_controller_library
>rake js_builder:document project=my_custom_library
config is defined in a yaml file which maps to the .jsb format. my js_builder plugin creates the .jsb file.

I ran two benchmark suites (X and Y) on two devices (D1 and D2). Device D1 complete the benchmarks after X1 and Y1 seconds and Device D2 in X2 and Y2 seconds.
I can very well calculateand& compare the relative performance in terms of speed of both the devices with-in the same benchmark X, e.g. if X1 (0.5) < X2 (2), then device D1 is four times faster than D2.
And I can do a similar interpretation for benchmark suite Y, e.g. if Y1 (2) < Y2 (3), then device D1 is 1.5 times faster than D2.
But a single device cannot be in two different speeds. I understand that devices will complete in different time based on benchmark suite. But does that means, should it yield various speed? Or Am I doing the speed calculation in right way?
I'm trying to arrive at a baseline to see how can I calculate a base speed? i.e the device D1 is always X times faster than Device D2, irrespective of benchmark suite.

At Mayo Clinic, we take the time to listen, to find answers and to provide you the best care.
Your doctor determines your breast cancer treatment options based on your type of breast cancer, its stage and grade, size, and whether the cancer cells are sensitive to hormones. Your doctor also considers your overall health and your own preferences.
Most women undergo surgery for breast cancer and also receive additional treatment before or after surgery, such as chemotherapy, hormone therapy or radiation.
There are many options for breast cancer treatment, and you may feel overwhelmed as you make complex decisions about your treatment. Consider seeking a second opinion from a breast specialist in a breast center or clinic. Talk to other women who have faced the same decision.
Operations used to treat breast cancer include:
Removing the entire breast (mastectomy). Mastectomy is surgery to remove all of your breast tissue. Most mastectomy procedures remove all of the breast tissue — the lobules, ducts, fatty tissue and some skin, including the nipple and areola (simple mastectomy).
In a skin-sparing mastectomy, the skin over the breast is left intact to improve reconstruction and appearance. Depending on the location and size of the tumor, the nipple may also be spared.
Removing a limited number of lymph nodes (sentinel node biopsy). To determine whether cancer has spread to your lymph nodes, your surgeon will discuss with you the role of removing the lymph nodes that are the first to receive the lymph drainage from your tumor.
If no cancer is found in those lymph nodes, the chance of finding cancer in any of the remaining lymph nodes is small and no other nodes need to be removed.
Removing both breasts. Some women with cancer in one breast may choose to have their other (healthy) breast removed (contralateral prophylactic mastectomy) if they have a very increased risk of cancer in the other breast because of a genetic predisposition or strong family history.
Most women with breast cancer in one breast will never develop cancer in the other breast. Discuss your breast cancer risk with your doctor, along with the benefits and risks of this procedure.
Complications of breast cancer surgery depend on the procedures you choose. Surgery carries a risk of bleeding and infection.
Some women choose to have breast reconstruction after surgery. Discuss your options and preferences with your surgeon.
Consider a referral to a plastic surgeon before your breast cancer surgery. Your options may include reconstruction with a breast implant (silicone or water-filled) or reconstruction using your own tissue. These operations can be performed at the time of your mastectomy or at a later date.
Radiation therapy uses high-powered beams of energy, such as X-rays, to kill cancer cells. Radiation therapy is typically done using a large machine that aims the energy beams at your body (external beam radiation). But radiation can also be done by placing radioactive material inside your body (brachytherapy).
External beam radiation is commonly used after lumpectomy for early-stage breast cancer. Doctors may also recommend radiation therapy to the chest wall after mastectomy for larger breast cancers or cancers that have spread to the lymph nodes.
Side effects of radiation therapy include fatigue and a red, sunburn-like rash where the radiation is aimed. Breast tissue may also appear swollen or more firm. Rarely, more-serious problems may occur, such as damage to the heart or lungs or, very rarely, second cancers in the treated area.
Chemotherapy uses drugs to destroy cancer cells. If your cancer has a high risk of returning or spreading to another part of your body, your doctor may recommend chemotherapy to decrease the chance that the cancer will recur. This is known as adjuvant systemic chemotherapy.
Chemotherapy is sometimes given before surgery in women with larger breast tumors. The goal is to shrink a tumor to a size that makes it easier to remove with surgery.
Chemotherapy is also used in women whose cancer has already spread to other parts of the body. Chemotherapy may be recommended to try to control the cancer and decrease any symptoms the cancer is causing.
Chemotherapy side effects depend on the drugs you receive. Common side effects include hair loss, nausea, vomiting, fatigue and an increased risk of developing infection. Rare side effects can include premature menopause, infertility (if premenopausal), damage to the heart and kidneys, nerve damage, and, very rarely, blood cell cancer.
Hormone therapy — perhaps more properly termed hormone-blocking therapy — is often used to treat breast cancers that are sensitive to hormones. Doctors sometimes refer to these cancers as estrogen receptor positive (ER positive) and progesterone receptor positive (PR positive) cancers.
Hormone therapy can be used after surgery or other treatments to decrease the chance of your cancer returning. If the cancer has already spread, hormone therapy may shrink and control it.
Treatments that can be used in hormone therapy include:
Medications that block hormones from attaching to cancer cells. Selective estrogen receptor modulator (SERM) medications act by blocking estrogen from attaching to the estrogen receptor on the cancer cells, slowing the growth of tumors and killing tumor cells.
SERMs include tamoxifen, raloxifene (Evista) and toremifene (Fareston).
Possible side effects include hot flashes, night sweats and vaginal dryness. More-significant risks include blood clots, stroke, uterine cancer and cataracts.
Medications that stop the body from making estrogen after menopause. Called aromatase inhibitors, these drugs block the action of an enzyme that converts androgens in the body into estrogen. These drugs are effective only in postmenopausal women.
Aromatase inhibitors include anastrozole (Arimidex), letrozole (Femara) and exemestane (Aromasin).
Side effects include hot flashes, night sweats, vaginal dryness, joint and muscle pain, as well as an increased risk of bone thinning (osteoporosis).
Targeted drug treatments attack specific abnormalities within cancer cells. Targeted drugs used to treat breast cancer include:

About the Author
Dennis Lehane is the author of ten previous novels including the New York Times bestsellers Live by Night; Moonlight Mile; Gone, Baby, Gone; Mystic River; Shutter Island; and The Given Day as well as Coronado, a collection of short stories and a play. He lives in California with his family.

Wilson: Thomaston hands Nonnewaug 1st loss
Not twice in a row. No way, no how, not happening. Preciously close to watching a big lead disappear for the second game in a row, which would have sucked a large dose of drama sucked out of the Berkshire League race, the Thomaston girls basketball team became big-time again Tuesday night.
Trailing by three points with six minutes left in the game, the Bears ripped off a 10-point run and hung on to hand Nonnewaug its first defeat of the season, 46-41, in front of a big house that was on its feet at game's end.
The outcome left both teams with 11-1 records and set up a wild ride over the next four weeks, with eight games to play and Lewis Mills also in the mix with just two losses. And everybody still has to play each again. Oh, and don't forget about Northwestern.
We have a race here, and it's a dandy.
"We certainly do," said Nonnewaug's Katie Burke, who tossed in 13 points and grabbed 10 rebounds. "The Berkshire League is tough this year. There are a lot of teams that are talented and experienced. If you don't watch out, someone will beat you."
The Bears never really stopped being big-time, but there was a miserable Friday night sticking in their craw after losing a 13-point halftime lead and the game at the buzzer to Northwestern.
You wondered what the effect would be. Well, the Bears didn't dwell on it; they learned from it.
With a similar scenario developing — Thomaston led, 25-12, at one point in the first half only to score just two baskets over the next 14:13 and trail, 37-34, early in the fourth quarter — the Bears found their "big" again.
It started with a foul shot from freshman Morgan Sanson, but it was highlighted with a punctuation mark by one of the smallest players on the floor with maybe the biggest game.
Maggie Eberhardt just turned it on. She drained a difficult 10-footer on the baseline to tie the game at 37-37, followed that up with a foul shot and then hit the biggest shot of the game when she threw a dagger at the Chiefs that caught nothing but net from 3-point land.
She netted six points in a little over the minute, and suddenly the Bears went from life support to a 41-37 lead with 3:56 left.
Coach Bob McMahon liked the baseline jumper.
"The play on the baseline was a special kind of play," said McMahon, "the contact and she kind of hung in the air."
It was no surprise to Nonnewaug coach Adam Brutting.
"We said in practice and in the locker room, know where the scorers are," said Brutting. "But Maggie is a great player. She hit some huge shots."
Eberhardt finished with 22 points, carrying the load early with 12 in the first half and picking up the slack late.
"I was just looking to score," said Eberhardt. "We had it in our heads not to let Friday bother us. We had to win. We knew we were going to win."
There was still business to take care of, but after Sanson's score down low for a 43-37 lead, the Chiefs couldn't recover.
"That was all we were going to give them," said Thomaston's Sydney Keith. "The loss (to Northwestern) brought us together, and we weren't going to let it happen again."
The Chiefs committed six turnovers in the period and shot just 2-of-11. By the time Burke broke the 5 1/2-minute scoring drought with a driving layup, Thomaston led, 44-39.
There was a last gasp when Meg Mitchell hit a layup with 1:09 to go to cut the deficit to 44-41, but she missed a foul shot and the Bears' Abby Hurlbert converted a pair at the other end for a 46-41 lead with 52 ticks left.
A turnover and a missed shot officially ended the Chiefs' night.
Thomaston came out firing and hit a trio of 3-pointers to quickly jump to a 12-4 lead. A little over two minutes into the second quarter, it was 25-12. Then Nonnewaug counterpunched.
An 11-4 run finished off by Jess Fengler's 3-pointer at the buzzer cut the lead to 29-23 by the half. Thomaston managed just five points in the third quarter (2-of-12), and when Ali Rescsanski nailed a trey, Nonnewaug took its first lead, 35-34.
"There was a lot of excitement and a lot players trying to make plays," said Brutting. "It was why there were streaks by both teams. We fought back and were on a roll, but being down early we had to fight back and it is difficult to maintain that."
A big game with big Bears, big drama, big plays and a big effort by Nonnewaug. Now we have a very big race. Come on, ya gotta love it.

I drive a 2006 Toyota Sienna. When driving with the heater on I often smell sulfur. This is more common when I am driving up a hill, but if I turn the heater off, the smell goes away. What causes this smell and how can I repair it?

When you turn the heater off, are you turning the thermostat down, turning the vent fan off or both? Are you closing the vents? Do you smell the same thing with the AC on?
Depending on the answers, here are some possibilities:
Following up on the comment: are the side vents passive only? Are they taking in air from the same channel? Also, when you run the AC, are you running on recirculated cabin air or taking in air from the outside?
As far as leaks go, you could try putting newspaper under the car when you park it. That will likely expose a drip that would otherwise go unnoticed.

What's the maxium number of files a Unix folder can hold?

What's the maxium number of files a Unix folder can hold?
I think it will be the same as the number of files.
migrated from stackoverflow.com Aug 27 '09 at 9:30
This question came from our site for professional and enthusiast programmers.
Varies per file system, http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Comparison_of_file_systems
On all current Unix filesystems a directory can hold a practically unlimited number of files. Whereas "unlimited" is limited by diskspace and inodes - whatever runs out first.
With older file system designs (ext2, UFS, HFS+) things tend to get slow if you have many files in a directory. Usually things start getting painful around 10,000 files. With newer filesystems (ReiserFS, XFS, ZFS, UFS2) you can have millions of files in a directory without seeing general performance bottlenecks.
But having so many files in a directory is not well tested and there are lots of tools which fail that. For example, periodic system maintenance scripts may barf on it.
I happily used a directory with several million files on UFS2 and had seen no problems until I wanted to delete the directory - that took several DAYS.
It depends how many inodes the filesystem was created with. Executing
will give you the number of free inodes. This is the practical limit of how many files a filesystem and hence a directory can hold.
I assume you are thinking of storing a lot of files in one place, no?
Most modern Unix files systems can put a lot of files in one directory, but operations like following paths, listing files, etc. involve a linear search through the list of files and get slow if the list grows too large.
I seem to recall hearing that a couple of thousand is too many for most practical uses. The typically solution is to break the grouping up. That is,
and store your files in the appropriate sub-directory according to a hash of their
Cristian Ciupitu writes in the comments that XFS, and possibly other very new file-systems, use
From the comment you left, I think you don't really care about how many files/folders your FS can host.
You should probably consider using ModRewrite and rewriting site.com/username to site.com/?user= or something of the kind and store all your data in a database. Creating one folder per user is generally not necessary (and not a good idea).
That said, each filesystem has limits, and

Burger Off is a small restaurant chain featured in Vice City in 1984. The chain is a small time affair with only two locations; a restaurant in Little Havana and a stand in the Vice Point fairground. However, the player is unable to actually buy anything at either location.
The name is a play on the phrase 'bugger off' and is yet another example of Rockstar's humor. The Burger Off restaurant is found next to the Stonewall J's gun store. A Sprunk vending machine can be seen next to the stand in the fairground providing drinks to accompany Burger Off meals. This may be a business move by the company saving them from having to provide drinks or simply conincidence.
- Burger Off is likely outcompleted by larger chains explaining why it operates on such a small scale. Or it may simply be an emerging business still establishing itself.
- The restaurant's absence in GTA Vice City, set two years later, may indicate that the tiny chain has been acquired, or maybe even evolved into the emerging Burger Shot and rebranded.
