Definition of "A Reasonably Exhaustive Search"?
Now that I am getting back to exploring my family tree, I've picked up a project that I had started before my unexpected hiatus: transcribing Lodewijk Wesselo's letters, which reside in the Wesselo Family Archive at the CBG in The Hague. And while doing that, a question that has plagued me before popped into my head again. What, exactly, does 'a reasonably exhaustive search' – as posed in the Genealogical Proof Standard – mean?
Is it making sure you've covered a person's entire life, from birth to death? Is it going to every archive that could possibly have sources – even if those sources wouldn't add any new information? Or is the definition dependant on who you're researching? Will you do a more exhaustive search for a direct ancestor, especially if you have a lot of information about a side-branch ancestor already?
As for Lodewijk, he's a brother of my great-grandmother, so a side-branch ancestor and not a direct ancestor. The sources that are in the Wesselo Family Archive – collected by various Wesselo genealogists over a period of many decades before being donated to the CBG – cover his entire life. I searched out some original documents as well as some additional sources based on the information I found in the archive. Have I done enough?
I know there are two archives that might hold sources about him – but it is highly doubtful they could tell me anything new. Both of these archives are not particularly close to home and currently I have no other reason to visit them. An on-line search did not give me any indication that there is anything about Lodewijk Wesselo at either one of them, but the type of source he might be in at those places isn't indexed on-line, so that doesn't say much. The chances of new information are very low, while the time and money I would have to spend on searching is fairly high. Yet, can I say I've done 'a reasonably exhaustive search' if I don't check?
In this case, I've decided that I am 'done' with Lodewijk Wesselo – as far as searching out sources goes, anyway. I've made a note of the archives, and should I ever need to go there for another ancestor, I will certainly look for him as well. But I will not make a trip just for him. But I will admit, that had it been one of my direct ancestors, I would have gone. So I'd say that the definition of 'a reasonably exhaustive search' definitely depends on who exactly it is you're researching – and how much information you already have about this ancestor.
So, when do you call it 'done'? What is your definition of 'a reasonably exhaustive search'?

I think a reasonably exhaustive search does depend on the relative. For ancestors, I try to find everything possible. For ancestor's family members, I do not go to quite those lengths, unless I need the information to push back another generation.ReplyDeleteReplies
Amanda: I think I am a lot like you in how much I try to find of a particular ancestor. Time is limited, and sad to say, direct ancestors get more of my time.Delete
It depends on the specific research question you are trying to answer. What was/is your specific research plan? As you clarify the research problem and create a strategy to solve it, you list specific places that might have the information you need. Execution of the plan to solve the research problem in question in the listed repositories should then meet a reasonably exhaustive search.ReplyDelete
~Caroline PointerReplies
Caroline: It's actually not a specific research question I am trying to answer. I'm working on writing his biography and in order to do that I read over all the information I have for him again. I noticed (as I had before) that there were two archives I hadn't checked yet for records of his employment in those cities. So if I had to formulate a research question these sources could potentially answer, it would be: "What was his working life like?"Delete
Now, I've got tons and tons of information about this already, and a lot of it are direct, primary sources, with plenty written by himself at the time it happened or close to it. Any sources in those archives would be either secondary, indirect, or both. So do they really add something - if they are there at all?

Unanswered: How to open Facebook login directly?
Is there anyway of opening the Facebook login directly?
My site has it's own login but I want users to be able to share stuff to Fb.
The nicest way would be a settings panel where it shows something like: Facebook: <login> or < sign-out >
Is this possible?

Apologies in advance if this is obvious.
Not a satisfying argument: We can, first of all, find a basis in which the entries lie in some algebraic number field K. Let O be the ring of integers of K. Then there is a locally free O-module M of rank n preserved by G: add up all the translates of O^n under G. Now, M need not itself be free, but it is isomorphic as an O-module to the sum of various ideals of O. Now pass to an extension L/K so that every ideal class of K trivializes in L, e.g. the Hilbert class field; then G preserves a free rank n module for the ring of integers of L. Sorry!
This is not really an answer, but is too long for a comment. The proof given by Moonface above is given in more or less that form in the 1962 book of Curtis and Reiner. As far as I know, it is still open whether all irreducible representations of a finite group $G$ can be realized over $\mathbb{Z}[\omega]$, where $\omega$ is a complex primitive $|G|$-th roots of unity, though I think the paper of Cliff,Ritter and Weiss settles the questions for finite solvable groups. The paper of Serre ( the three letters to Feit) give counterexamples to a slightly different question: they show (among other things) that a representation of a finite group can be realised over some number fields, but might not be able to be realised over the ring of algebraic integers of that field. Brauer's characterization of characters/Brauer's induction theorem show that all representations of the finite group $G$ may be realised over $\mathbb{Q}[\omega]$ for $\omega$ as above ( $|G|$ can be replaced by the exponent of $G$ if desired). As I said, realizability over $\mathbb{Z}[\omega]$ is a different matter.
By the way, this paper may be of interest. It shows that for solvable groups, one doesn't have to do the Hilbert class extension moonface suggests, but for some non-solvable ones you do. Also this one has more examples.

I had an issue where users are getting "Access Denied" even though they shouldn't. It turned out to be related to custom code and fixed in the end, but there was a lot of guesswork involved.
Is there any way to troubleshoot Access Denied errors without guessing all the time? Surely, something somewhere throws the ThreadAbort/UnauthorizedAccessException, can I get the Stacktrace of that or get SharePoint to emit more logfiles?
I know of ways to handle it once I know where the issue is (SPSecurity), but if all I have is an Access Denied error and possibly 20 different places to look, it becomes tedious.

26 Comments add a comment
Wow, their 80th anniversary and I've never even heard of them. Good deal for those who have one in their neck of the woods.
@pitamuffin: I think Krystal is better than White Castle, but I grew up with them. Unfortunately, the last Krystal in Texas (located in Arlington, TX) just closed a few months ago, and I can't make it to Mississippi by 1PM to take advantage of the deal :)
One just opened last year in Dawsonville - a short drive. Krystal burgers for lunch!!
I always thought of them as greasier, smaller McDonald's burgers on a dinner roll.
They also felt a bit lower quality than them. Eh.
Oh goddammit, I wish I could take advantage of this. Nearest Krystal is 6 hours away.
I will, however, stuff myself when I'm in Krystal country again the first weekend of November.
How can you never have heard of Krystal??? I don't have a White Castle within 2,000 miles of my house, but I know all about them. Come on! :-)
I'd punch my mama in the face for a sack-full right now.....1200 miles away from the nearest Krystal though.
Where I'm from, Krystal's is a strip club, not a burger joint.
There is one in Haltom City at Beach and 121 for those in the Ft.Worth area.
Their burgers are ok.
Their chili fries are way better.
@squirrelhunter70: What will $0.25 get you there?
I've had both White Castle and Krystal and think they are both really good. I'm just glad they have one of the chains (White Castle) in MN. If I lived near a Krystal I would definitely buy the deal.
I would try it but the closest one is 140 miles away, and that .25 cent burger turns into a $30 burger at that point lol.
@torch003: There's a reason they call them sliders to, they slide right through you lol
I don't know if this is normal for Krystal's, but I got cheese added for free on mine.
@brian8211975: I'D punch your momma in the face for a sack full!!
@kainis: There are several open in Houston now.
700 miles to Knoxville.
Just had 5 myself for a total of $1.25. We call them gut grenades here in the ATL
@carlosarnold: Could be because Harold and Kumar never went to Krystals.
Happy Ann'y Krystal! Just had my 6 burgers! What a Treat!
Just had my six for lunch!
We call them misery biscuits.
Eat too many and you'll know what we mean...
Easten and Central time. Done.
Step ur Mountain and Pacific!
@squirrelhunter70: Sounds more like a bearded-clam joint to me LOL!
@bloodypenguin: Directions to the door
Just polished off 8 myself (thanks to my 3 yr old for meeting the 6 per person quota).
Here, we call them skillet scabs. Yum.

BOWLING GREEN, Ky. (WBKO) -- On May 2, Kentucky State Police say they received a drug tip from the Barren County Sheriff's Office in reference to multiple suspected methamphetamine labs at a residence in Hart County.
KSP says units were also advised that William Milby, a wanted fugitive, was also at that location.
After receiving the information, troopers say they responded to 992 Little Blue Springs Church Road to attempt to make contact with the residents.
Upon arrival, contact was made with a resident of the property, Brandi Milby. After a brief conversation with Ms. Milby, her husband, William Milby, entered the living room and advised troopers he had a warrant and wished to be arrested. Troopers say they advised the Milby's of the initial complaint in which both consented to a search of the property.
KSP says the search of the property yielded two suspected one-step methamphetamine labs, several precursors used to manufacture methamphetamine, marijuana, drug paraphernalia, and several firearms.
Troopers arrested eight individuals in connection with the items located inside the residence, with one being a juvenile, for a total of 147 charges.
The eight individuals whom were arrested are: William T. Milby (38), Horse Cave, Brandi R. Milby (40), Horse Cave, Zachary T. Milby (19), Horse Cave, Brandy N. Thomas (27), Cave City, Jimmy L. Jones (40), Cave City, Jeremy D. Bush (34), Cave City, Sierra D. Jessie (22), Glasgow, & Juvenile (17), Cave City.
KSP says each is charged with: Manufacturing Methamphetamine 1st Offense (2 Counts), Manufacturing Methamphetamine 1st Offense (2 Counts)(Enhancement), Manufacturing Methamphetamine 1st Offense (2 Counts)(Complicity), Unlawful Possession of Meth Precursor 1st Offense, Unlawful Possession of Meth Precursor 1st Offense (Enhancement), Unlawful Possession of Meth Precursor 1st Offense (Complicity), Tampering with Physical Evidence, Tampering with Physical Evidence (Enhancement), Tampering with Physical Evidence (Complicity), Possession of Marijuana, Possession of Marijuana (Enhancement), Possession of Marijuana (Complicity), Drug Paraphernalia-Possess, Drug Paraphernalia-Possess (Enhancement), & Drug Paraphernalia-Possess (Complicity).

Is there any problem which is in NP but not in NP-Complete?
Is there any possibility that this problem is analogous to P=NP problem, if so is there any problem which is in NP, but currently there is no proof or disproof about its NP-Completeness?

Is there any possibility that this problem is analogous to P=NP problem, if so is there any problem which is in NP, but currently there is no proof or disproof about its NP-Completeness?
If there is some non-trivial* problem in $\text{NP}$, but it is not $\text{NP}$-Complete, it would imply that $\text{P} \neq \text{NP}$. This is because if $\text{P} = \text{NP}$, then every non-trivial problem in $\text{P}$ (and so by assumption, in $\text{NP}$) is $\text{NP}$-Complete, by a polynomial time reduction which solves the problem as part of the reduction, and creates dummy input to the target problem (this is where we need the non-trivial assumption).
A classic example of a problem in $\text{NP}$, which is conjectured not to be in $\text{P}$ and not $\text{NP}$-Complete is the Graph Isomorphism Problem.
In fact, under the assumption that $\text{P} \neq \text{NP}$, it has already been proven that there are an infinite number of hierarchies in $\text{NP}$: i.e. starting with $\text{P}$ the problems becoming increasingly harder (i.e. proper subset), ending with the $\text{NP}$-Complete problems. See this cstheory question: http://cstheory.stackexchange.com/questions/52/hierarchies-in-np-under-the-assumption-that-p-np
*non-trivial means here: any language other than the empty set or it's complement.
The class of NP problems contain all the problems in P as well. In fact, NP-complete problems are the hardest problem of the class NP. In addition, there are problems that are not known to be NP-complete (no proof yet) while we don't know any polynomial solution for them (yet).
There's a whole lattice of complexity classes under NP, most of the ones defined by name are not known but highly suspected to be proper subsets of NP, most famously P. That is, it is not known if any particular problem in P is not NP-complete (though this is expected).
But P is not the only subclass of NP. There are the classes NL, L, AC_n, NC_n, LOGCFL, DET, etc. presumably much smaller than NP. (see the Complexity Zoo for class descriptions). There's lots of open problems about proper inclusion here.
But it turns out that NLTIME, a very restricted class, the class of problems solvable in nondeterministic log -time- (not in the Complexity Zoo)), is -provably- a proper subset of NP. That is, there are problems in NP that provably cannot be reduced to a problem in NLTIME.
The following loose inclusion order is known:
$$NLTIME \subseteq L \subseteq NL \subseteq P \subseteq NP \subseteq PSPACE$$
Notice that NLTIME is a subset of NP. The only known proper inclusions in this particular list are between NLTIME and NP, and between L and PSPACE. But no one (yet) knows where (or if) there's an adjacent break in this particular linear order.
But the real question you are asking is not about complexity classes but about problems. THere are many real world problems that have complexity class analogs in the 'Zoo' (e.g. Reachability in undirected graphs is in NL). I can't seem to find a reference for the class NLTIME (it is easily definable by NTIME($\log(n)$) ), much less a given problem for it. Without thinking too hard, Im guessing some kind of decision version of Binary Search would fit.
(as an aside, there very well may be other more prominent classes, like $AC_0$, having well known problems, that are known to be properly included in NP, but I just happen not to know)

Something Else
The Gentleman Who Fell
This is a limited edition 7" single by Toronto-based Diamond Rings in advance of his debut full-length "Special Affections" due Oct 26th from Secret City. Following on the heels of his sold-out self-released 7" for "All Yr Songs" that broke through on Youtube and garnered a "Best New Music" nod from Pitchfork, "Something Else" is Diamond Rings first official release on Secret City. The B-side is a collaboration with fellow Toronto-based artist Owen Pallett: a cover of Milla Jovovich's mid-nineties hit "The Gentleman Who Fell". Limited to 500 copies.
"a real standout, lovingly carrying the torch for the pepped-up gloom of O'Regan's post-punk forebears. Not to say that "Something Else" is that down of a song, with its jukey drum machine and that Strokes-y guitar hook giving off some delightful, dancefloor-ready vibes.../O'Regan ends up winning the "better without you" battle handily, coming off like the last of a famous dying breed of international, tongue-in-cheek miserablists. And that looks absolutely terrific on him."

Matthew 5:5 (NIV)
Blessed are the meek, for they will inherit the earth.
What does "meek" mean in the original language? Is "meek" a good translation for the original Greek word?
What does "meek" mean in the original language? Is "meek" a good translation for the original Greek word?
The Greek is πραεῖς, which has also been translated gentle.
According to this source, the word was used to describe a horse that had been broken-in among other similar usages.
I noticed that none of the current answers explicitly address the question of whether meek is a good English translation. Given the modern connotations of the word meek, it is not a good translation (though it may have been at one time), because in the modern usage it has a sense of craven pandering—the word, at least in my mind, has a derogatory connotation. It's the sort of word I would use of someone whose demeanor is dominated by cowardice and people-pleasing.
However, if meek doesn't carry those connotations for you, it is indeed a good translation. Humble is a possible translation, but because the word often occurs next to another Greek word translated humble, it is often translated gentle instead, which is appropriate.
Two verses which are helpful for understanding the πρα- stem are Galatians 6:1:
which shows the tie between gentleness and not thinking to highly of oneself; and 1 Peter 3:15:
Not that in contrast to people-pleasing, this is fear of God that is enjoined in conjunction with gentleness. As an expanded paraphrase based on the sense of these two verses, I would render the word the gentleness that comes from humility.
It is often noted that the word doesn't require a relinquishing of manliness. While this is certainly true, don't forget that it runs contrary to secular masculine bravado. There is something paradoxical about the character of a godly man in his strength/weakness dialectic. Gentle captures this well.
Thayer's Lexicon gives the definition of πραΰς as "mildness of disposition, gentleness of spirit, meekness."
Webster's defines meekness as "Softness of temper; mildness; gentleness; forbearance under injuries and provocations....In an evangelical sense, humility; resignation; submission to the divine will, without murmuring or peevishness; opposed to pride, arrogance and refractoriness."
Comparing the two, it seems relatively appropriate, though perhaps different connotations have evolved, making it less than ideal at conveying the thought here.
Matthew 5 has Jesus going up the mountain and chapter 8 has him coming down. These are followed by parallel passages which can be used to illuminate the meaning. The first thing Jesus says is, "Blessed are the poor in spirit." And the first thing Jesus does is heal a leper.
The next parallel is blessed are the meek, and the Centurion asks Jesus to heal his servant.
Just as the leper is an example of one poor in spirit, the Centurion is an example of one who is meek.
Structurally there are three blocks constructed with such parallelisms.
The word praüs is related to 'friend', denoting gentleness and pleasant, the opposite being rough, hard, violent. As an adverb it is used for a quiet and friendly composure which does not become embittered or angry at what is unpleasant. It is not a passive submission, but an active attitude and deliberate acceptance. As such, in the context of Jesus' words, it is one who actively turns the other cheek in a display of confidence in God. redacted from TDNT 6:645.
The Centurion knew the nature of authority, and it gave him the composure to speak with Christ in such a manner, recognizing that Jesus was the authority and being actively confident of a positive response.

Classic shape is infused with interesting sparkle in the Swarovski 3200G 10mm Rivoli 1/2 matte sew-on stone in Black Diamond. These sew-on crystals look like the rivoli component on the top, but are flat and foiled on the back. The facets of this crystal alternate from a sparkling regular finish to a muted matte finish for a pin-wheel effect everyone will love. The two open holes located on either end of the crystal make this piece easy to sew on to projects. The beautiful dark grey color is sure to dazzle everyone!

5 Insane Farm Secrets Behind the Food on Your Grocery List
#2. Foods Harvested by Elderly Robots
We've already mentioned how the future will be littered with the living bodies of the elderly, probably to the point where there won't be enough able-bodied people to do the hard agricultural work it takes to keep society going. Japan has already had years to consider the problem, and they've come up with a solution. Why not just robotize old people so they can work harder and longer?
Yoshikazu Tzuno / Getty
To be fair, "turn them into robots" is Japan's solution for most problems.
The Power Assist Suit, developed by Tokyo's University of Agriculture and Technology, is intended to make life easier for farm workers by "reducing the user's physical effort by 62 percent." With Japan's elderly now making up two-thirds of the total radish-plucking population, the suit can reduce backaches and cramps while simultaneously allowing the geriatrics to serve as the first line of defense against the Klendathu incursion.
The planned retail price of the robot is a reasonable $11,000, and it comes sporting eight electric motors. It also has sensors that can detect a wearer's movements and a voice-recognition system, and experts say that there is no more than a 30 percent chance that these suits will keep operating after the user has died inside them, creating the cybernetic zombie scenario that deep down every Japanese person knew was coming.
Yoshikazu Tsuno / Getty
"$11,000 and you couldn't include a codpiece?"
Now that we mention it, why not do away with the human element altogether? They're way ahead of us -- in the wake of the 2011 Tohoku earthquake and tsunami, Japan is building a fully robotic experimental farm on disaster-ravaged farmland. "The Dream Project" in Miyagi prefecture is set to involve unmanned tractors for tending and harvesting crops, LEDs that act as a nonchemical pesticide and robots to box all the produce. The plan also calls for any machinery-produced carbon dioxide to be channeled back to the crops to act as fertilizer, further eliminating the need for animal life, be it human or beast, in the entire process.
Now if there was only some weird-ass sci-fi food they could raise there, like ...
#1. Scorpion Cabbage and Lab-Grown Meat
Sometimes we think that if we can just avoid the hoof and genital slurry that gets shunted into the average hot dog tube, we're doing alright. Not anymore. For instance, aside from the inevitable farts, it's hard to imagine that there could be anything unsettling about cabbage, right? How about if someone turned it into a part plant, part poisonous insect hybrid? You probably know what's coming next. Besides Armageddon.
Chinese scientists have magically infused the scorpion's poison gene with cabbage, because Chinese scientists are really aware of what it takes to get our attention. By altering the gene that makes scorpions poisonous and putting it in cabbage, the scientists can kill off caterpillar larva that would destroy the crop without harming humans. Win-win! And not creepy at all!
"OK, we should've mixed them the other way."
And this is only one of the many times geneticists have sought to improve agriculture by playing the part of Farmer Dr. Moreau. Public interest research groups have reported combinations that have included safflower and carp, wheat and chickens and soybeans and rats. Then, in case you weren't worried, they're even engineering corn with monkey AIDS. Sleep tight!
"-- and that's why I always practice safe barbecuing."
Things are becoming just as weird over in the deli aisle. Aside from the disturbing nature of the salmon engineered to grow at twice the normal rate, it appears that the meat you eat might not come from an actual creature in the future. You may have supposed that the Slim Jim people have been up to this for some time, but the first symposium on creating animal flesh entirely in a laboratory was held in Norway in 2008. And just so we're clear, this isn't a conversation about soy patties flavored and shaped to look like chicken -- we're talking about in vitro chicken grown in a lab. That you eat. With your mouth parts.
OK, maybe we owe the magical organic farming guys an apology.

Atomic Digital Wall Clock
Receiver: 8" x 12.2" x 1.18"
Sensor: 5.05 " x 1.5" x .83"
Video Set Up Guide:
Please verify the type of movement on your clock with the images below to get the correct documentation.
To function properly, the digital wall clock must be started correctly using good quality alkaline batteries and the time must be set.
Section 1 - Time Display
Check the polarity on your batteries to make sure they are installed according to the diagrams in the battery compartment. Also make sure that you are using a new good quality alkaline battery.
Press and release the + button to change your display options.
Section 2 - Outdoor Temperature Information
The maximum open-air distance is 80 feet in a straight line although you should take into account distance and resistance. Subtract 25-30 feet for an exterior wall or any obstruction that is similar in width or composition. Subtract 15-20 feet per interior wall or any obstruction that is similar in width or composition. (An obstruction would include anything that is between the line of sight like a roof, walls, floors, ceilings, trees, etc.) Also keep your units away from electronic appliances like TV's, microwaves, computers, refrigerators, and speakers.
We have trouble maintaining a signal through metal siding, stucco walls, and UV glass. You can get the remote sensor to transmit through these materials, but it will take a little bit of trial and error. Reset the weather station as mentioned above and change the angle that the remote transmits through the siding or glass until an outdoor temperature remains on the display for an extended period of time. Keep in mind that the signal from the remote must travel through some space (3 inches of air minimum) before reaching the metal wall or glass window.
In order to get an accurate reading and to prolong the life of your sensor we recommend that you have it in a sheltered area out of the sun and direct rain. Make sure that the sensor is higher than your display. Fog and Mist will not affect the sensor, but a soaking in water may. You can mount it outside under an eve of your house or any other suitable place that will keep it out of the sun and rain. Do not wrap the sensor in plastic or seal it in a plastic bag.
Section 3 - Moon Phase
The segments that are highlighted will portray the part of the moon that is lit. For instance, the moon will be blank during a new moon and dark during a full moon. This is set by the tower in Ft. Collins and therefore needs a signal in order to read accurately. The Moon on the clock has only 4 segments to show all 28 days in a lunar month. This may cause the moon phase feature to be off by a few hours. For example a full moon may not show on the exact hour that your calendar may say the full moon is.

Sons who feel like they have fallen short of their father's expectations can be very dangerous, such as Osama bin Laden, or exceptionally creative, like Franz Kafka, New York University Professor Avital Ronell posits in her new book, "Loser Sons: Politics and Authority" (University of Illinois Press, Feb. 27).
There are sons who grow up unhappily believing that no matter what they do, they cannot please their fathers. Often unable to shed their sense of lifelong failure, either they give up and suffer in a permanent sulk, or they try with all their might to prove they are worth something after all. To Ronell, these are the "loser sons," a group of men who've played prominent roles in the course of world events.
In Loser Sons, Ronell draws on current philosophy, literary history, and political events to confront the grim fact that divested boys can become terrifying men and to show how ideologies of all sorts perpetuate the theme that while childhood represents innocence, adulthood entails responsible cruelty. She addresses the problems of authority, paternal fantasy, and childhood as they have been explored and, in some cases, exemplified by Franz Kafka, Goethe's Faust, Benjamin Franklin, Jean-François Lyotard, Hannah Arendt, Alexandre Kojève, and Immanuel Kant.
Ronell is University Professor of the Humanities and a professor of German, English, and comparative literature at NYU, where she codirects the Trauma and Violence Transdisciplinary Studies program. She is also Jacques Derrida Professor of Media and Philosophy at the European Graduate School in Switzerland. Ronell's previous works include: Dictations: On Haunted Writing; The Telephone Book; Crack Wars; Finitude's Score; Stupidity; The Test Drive; and Fighting Theory.

07 September 2012, Edinburgh: A new charity fundraising golf tournament has been hailed a great success after organisers, award-winning Glengoyne Highland Single Malt Whisky, helped raise funds for Help for Heroes.
Twenty four teams from across the UK took part in the Glengoyne Auld Enemy Diamond Jubilee Golf Day and Gala Dinner 2012 on Friday 24 August at The Fairmount St Andrews. The Scotland v England clash, replicating the auld enemy spirit, was held on the Torrance Course, and followed by a gala fundraising dinner.
The event, supported by Scottish rugby legend, Gavin Hastings, involved military and corporate personnel from across the UK, with TaylorMade Tour Experience Professionals on hand to advise players as they made their way through the course.
The team from the R&A, captained by Rhodri Price, Director Championship Operations, sneaked the win on the last hole grabbing glory from 2 SCOTS with a superb put. A silent auction, raffle and auction took place at the gala fundraising dinner that evening which was attended by guest of honour, the Lord Lieutenant of Fife, Margaret Dean.
Neil Boyd, Commercial Director at Ian Macleod Distillers, commented: ''Following the success of the Glengoyne Highland Single Malt Whisky inaugural 2012 Auld Enemy Dinner in February, we were delighted to be part of another fantastic fundraising event in support of Help for Heroes. These events have raised more than £20,000 for the charity.
"Although I am disappointed the Scots didn't win this year, we recognise and celebrate the passion that is synonymous with this great rivalry, and we will be back next year determined to claim the title".
"Glengoyne looks forward to a long association with the Auld Enemy Dinner and golf tournament in years to come."
Award-winning Glengoyne Highland Single Malt is one of the leading malt whiskies in the world and has been distilled at Glengoyne since 1833. Using methods passed down for generations, Glengoyne is made with knowledge, passion and craftsmanship. Retailing at £195, The Limited Edition Glengoyne 'Auld Enemy Dram' is available to buy at Royal Mile Whiskies Edinburgh stores and online at http://www.glengonye.com.

I am looking for the biblical references to Michael the angel ? And what are/were his/her role? There are some christian groups that attributes Michael same with Jesus. Is there any biblical reference to it?
Sign up

Well, Jude 9 says:
From that verse, it would seem to be hard to equate Michael and Jesus.
The only other reference to "archangel" I know of is in 1 Thessalonians 4:16:
That verse seems to indicate the "voice of the archangel" will announce Christ's ( the Lord Himself) return - again listed as a separate being.
References to Michael
NOTE: the word one is a gross misinterpretation of the word echad in this situation which means first using Strong's Dictionary. One of the chief princes actually translated correctly means the First of the chief princes.
The roles of Michael of the Archangel
#1 He stands for the people of God
He stands for the people of God (an advocate) and an example of him standing for them is in Jude 1:9 below
The words translated railing is blasphēmia which Strong's Dictionary says mean blaspheme or evil speaking. Michael did not bring a blasphemous accusation but said the Lord rebuke thee. He was not afraid of satan as some would try to make us think but dared not to bring a blaphemous accusation which is sin.
Jesus the Lord is our advocate
In this scenario we have the Lord being the advocate of Joshua and saying the same thing Michael said to satan. It seems as though Jesus has the same office with Michael or maybe they are the same person.
#2 He is the captain of the Lord's Host
He leads the angels in the battle with satan thus he is the captain. His position as archangel means chief of the angels (check your Strong's dictionary)
Here we see that Michael cannot be a literal angel since he accepts worship as God. No angel coming from God accepts worship:
#3 He is the Chief Messenger
The word angel means messenger so therefore he must be the Arch Messenger. Michael is not an a literal angel but a messenger. the word messenger and the word angel are the same in both greek and hebrew.
Strong's Hebrew dictionary
messenger = malak
angel = malak
Strong's Greek Dictionary
messenger = aggellō
angel = aggellō
What about 1thess 4:16?
The event described here is the Second coming. With the parallel produced by John 5:25 and 1 thess 4:16 it is hard to think Jesus the Son of God is not Michael the Archangel shouting with the trump of God.
Other than the reference that @warren has given. The other passage believed to refer to him is in Daniel 10. Note that the word angel isn't used here - he is called a prince - but context may imply it.

I'm an artist, mostly, though I describe myself as a artist/physicist. While I can do math, deal with words, and the "logical" stuff considered left-brain, it's an effort and I make mistakes, whereas I do well with and most of the time think in terms of those things associated with right-brain thinking - spatial relations, holistic big-picture context, etc. Of course all that is fuzzy, as the right-left brain theory is oversimplified and no mental activity is so simple. Yet I do sense that I fit in fine with artists, video directors, chefs, and other non-verbal thinking, creative types, while most people in "IT" or hardcore software engineers have minds that work differently, with attention to detail, holding many details in mind at one time, and strong rational and verbal capabilities.
So here I am in a job being paid to fix fussy and obscure bugs in a massive swarm of C++ software, very heavy on OO, and any one line of code makes no sense unless I hold in mind about twenty other class and method names, relations between them, the flow of execution (very spaghetti-like) and other detail.
Besides that, I'm also rather strongly against much of contemporary C++ and OO styles. Those who wrote this code really drank the deep OO and Modern C++ kool-ade. I find it actually makes code much harder to follow, much harder to decide where to fix or change something. I don't know if this is part of the left/right differnce (or whatever you want to call it) or not.
But work on the C++ I must - people depend on me for my income. What are tips and techniques to deal with this situation, to be as effective as possible for my employer?

it let me print as many of the coupon as I wanted. fail lol. Using chrome.
Thanks, the wife picks these up for me all the time and I am down to my last bag.
There is no barcode on this coupon or identifying info of any kind....is this some kind of racket to get email addresses? So mad I entered info to print before I realized it was an incomplete coupon.
@tcarlton: I can verify it works though. I just bought a bag. You can put in false information too. Like email@example.com
This is the company that endorses Psy. They can forget about getting any of my business for supporting that terrorist, anti-American.
@samjung23: You keep using that word. I don't think it means what you think it means.
@karstan: Make that two of us. What is Psy? Or better yet whats the full word since I'm assuming that's an abbreviation.
@karstan: I need to know what word you're talking about so I can reply to you. Typical liberal retort though...I must not know how to use the words that I'm using! How obnoxious!
@dravack: Is he talking about the youtube sensation PSY??
@samjung23: It's a movie quote. Princess Bride. Quite famous. Perhaps you've heard of it.
And I was using tongue-in-cheek humor to refer to your use of the word "terrorist." Seeing as Psy has committed no acts of violence (that I'm aware of), he is not a terrorist. Just because he said some things you or I don't like, doesn't make him a terrorist. http://www.merriam-webster.com/dictionary/terrorist "Systematic use of violence to create a general climate of fear in a population and thereby to bring about a particular political objective."
I could have also criticized your poor use of the comma, but I figured that was petty. :)
Don't make this a political thing. I'm just being pedantic.
For the rest of you, he's referring to Psy, the Youtube sensation out of South Korea (No, not North Korea). Psy made some comments that were opposed to American military aggression way back in 2004. http://www.celebitchy.com/268487/psy_apologizes_for_his_2004_anti-american_remarks_performs_for_pres_obama/
@karstan, my use of the comma was not poor. I think you need to go back to middle school. As for what I called Psy, he deserves to be called a terrorist for what he sang about.
There was a nice coupon for these in the Sunday paper this week ; $1 off 2 bags. So I guess pretty much the same coupon....... but if the one to print online iis a Walgreen's only coupon then you might be able to use both ! Then you have a real deal worthy of going to the store.
Sadly, no Walgreen's here.
@karstan: Watch out for ROUS --- I bet they like pistachios !
@ceagee: Great movie.... TNT keeps playing it late at night.
I'm going to buy 2 bags just because I suspect it will make Samjung angry.
@caloby: They should of had that movie on the Woot movies for VD !
Inconceivable !
Thanks for the TNT tip.
Only bummer is I can always tell the parts they have edited for tv.
Well, if you have a Safeway or maybe Von"show near you, these are BOGO through tomorrow. If you add the coupon from Sunday's paper that brings them down to $2.50 each.
Hey, what happened to the editor button? Meant to say Von's....
@karstan: oh that Psy duh lol yeah I know gangdam style. XD but seriously people are still going on about him doing that. People need to grow up. Honestly, who cares what some retarded musician, actor, etc.. says. Call me when he does something. Like murder or something serious. -.- yeah yeah go ahead and flame me.
It's not like we haven't said something before that we regret or mentioned some country we might not like.
I thought this video was relevant.
@joshobra: Dude that vid is awesome XD I'll eat these everyday if they give me the ability to be an awesome boxer.
@samjung23: You have been watching to much Faux News: They distort, you comply.
Now that's a good boy.
I am confused. How is this a good deal? I was tonight at grocery strore (Foods Inc) and they had 1lb Wonderful Pistachios for $3, no coupons or much fanfare?
@vw57dlx: Nah, it's called having pride in your country, dude.
@tcarlton: The last time I used it, the bar code only showed up once I printed the coupon. I used two of them of them and they worked just fine.
@samjung23: No it's not. I've been in the military now for 13 years and I still support PSY. Everyone is allowed to say what they want that is what makes America so great. He did not cross the line and do any kind of violence or action. What he said was due to our military accidently killing innocent people. Had some other country, let's say England bombed somewhere and killed some of our people I bet you would get the same response from our citizens.
He's apologized and said it was an emotional response that he regrets.
@enterr: If you can find Wonderful Pistachios for $3 a pound everyday I might want you to put as many as you can inside a flat rate box and shipping my way. They easily go for $5-6, I think you saw the smaller bags.
the $4 is on on 1 8oz pkg, not 16oz .... everyone has these for >$4 ... no deal & not worth getting on their spam blasts for .... I feel cheated and abused, need to go take some me time and heal
@oeldeals: No it's for the 16oz bag, the 8oz bag is there look to the right and you will see the 16oz bag. I mean it's really the second from the left.
Do these go bad? I mean I just bought two bags of these at $5.99 a couple days ago.
FYI: I had to use the Walgreens Balance Rewards card to get the sale price.

12 Pregnancy Superfoods
9 of 14
Broccoli may be a health-food cliché, but it rocks in terms of nutrition, containing everything from vitamins C, K, and A to potassium, iron, magnesium, and even calcium. Make sure you thoroughly wash your broccoli — and all your produce — well during pregnancy to avoid pesticides and toxoplasmosis that can contaminate soil. When boiling broccoli, just be sure to cook it for less than 10 minutes in order to maintain its rich nutrients.
These 15 tips for disguising vegetables are great for both kids and adults who aren't big on eating their veggies.

So I am learning LaTeX and I find it slow to test changes. So I'd edit the .tex file, then go to command line, and run pdflatex, wait for it to complete, and then open total commander, and then open the .pdf file. Does anyone know a faster way to test changes? (WYSIWYG?)
Quite a few PDF viewers support SyncTex or can simply reload the document when it is modified. This is the case of Evince, Okular, among others.
I don't know what editor you're using. I'm personally used to vim, so I can just build from within it (and the PDF can be refreshed automatically as stated before).
There are also TeX specialized editors with a build button and integrated PDF viewer, so you don't need to go to command line and open the PDF yourself. TeXworks (shipped with both MikTeX and TeX Live) is one of them. On KDE, there's Kile which is also an excellent product.
As far as WYSIWYG goes, LyX is a program that wraps around LaTeX to make the whole experience more "WYSIWYG". You can use a WYSIWYG editor, or a LaTeX editor, as you wish. Afaik, it's not pure LaTeX though (it needs some converting).
I personally use
I know of two options with emacs.
Whizzytex, which uses the advi viewer, though it does not seem to be widely used. The way it works is, advi starts up (though I think other viewers with the necessary support can also be used) and then as you move around in the buffer, the document is compiled and updated in advi on the fly and also your current position in the buffer is highlighted in advi. It is in Debian at least. As you can see, it is not a very active project.
A more popular option is of course preview, originally written by David Kastrup, which is now part of AUCTeX.
In addition of all the "desktop" solutions provided, you also have some "cloud" alternatives, which can be specially useful while learning. A few I'm aware of are:
The two first allow for trying the service without registration. Both feature instant preview with automatic refreshing, pdf export, and (with subscription) the posibility of saving your tex in the cloud, among other interesting features (such as sharing or collaborative edition). Also they have a pretty complete TeX installation with most of the usual packages available.
The other two require registration to login, so I didn't tried them (hence no screenshot).
Just use a tex editor/IDE like Texmaker or TexnicCenter. Although it isn't WYSIWYG, they will integrate with your latex installation and pdf viewer, so all you have to do is press one button, and they will compile and open the pdf.
If you use SumatraPDF for viewing, you can set up forward and inverse search with DDE commands
Not an answer to your question, but if you are also planning to use
It autocompletes, autocompiles and is handy for quick creation of TikZ images independently from your LaTeX document. When you are satisfied with the result TikZ code can be included to your main document.
There is also gummi. It is an editor that recompiles, every time you stop typing or every N seconds (check the settings).
I use a program named Latexian that has a feature called Live Preview which obviously compiles the document every time it is changed and displays the PDF output in the same window. I have not seen a better solution yet.
Latexian is available for Mac OS X and is available on a 30-day trial basis prior to purchase.
LEd has also a 2-way-dvi preview. Not live, but helps to easily compare your code with the result.
You have the following optoins:
There is a review on WYSIWYG latex editors here, though Gummi was not in the list
On Unix/Linux, it is easy to do in vi. In your .exrc file, add the following:
where the keys in square brackets are the actual keys on keyboard (without the square brackets). Before you start editing the file, open a viewer with xdvi on the file. Then, while editing, you can pres the F2 key which will recomple your LaTeX file. Clicking in the xdvi renderer will repaint the screen.
When I was learning LaTex I used Texmaker. It has a built in PDF viewer as well as many symbols available as quick buttons to add into the document fast with the nice side benefit of learning them quickly as you go.
For pure speed, I don't think there is anything faster than using Sublime Text 2 with Skim (OS X only). PDF's compile so fast. You don't get bells and whistles like you do in Texmaker but it sure hums.
While the above answers are fine, they mostly force you to use a particular environment/editor. I'd tell you to do it the old-fashioned way: Use your regular editor, save the file and process it as you are accustomed (
Better don't get into some straightjacket environment that later is hard to move away from.
Live preview exists ; look at LateXian on mac. But not so nice for big works because pretty long to 'live' compile. Or use include statements.
I have made a live preview plugin for WinEdt editor. It will show the preview of current paragraph in the upper right corner of WinEdt. Furthermore it will update the preview automatically if current paragraph has been changed.

ANDERSON, S.C. – Opening the season at home for the second straight season, Anderson University women's tennis was unable to protect its home court, falling to South Atlantic Conference foe Newberry 7-2 Saturday evening at the Max Grubbs Memorial Courts.
With the setback, AU falls to 0-1 for the young season as Newberry, which had played four matches entering Saturday's match, improves to 3-2 for the year.
The Trojans began singles action down 2-1 after Preseason SAC First-Team selections Avery Owens and Karen Ching recorded an 8-4 win over Newberry's Susana Aguirre and Romina Adum at the No. 1 position, 8-4. Newberry claimed the No. 2 and No. 3 positions with 8-5 and 8-4 decisions, respectively.
Facing the deficit, Anderson was unable to start a comeback as freshman Rebecca Bruning was the lone Trojan to post a singles win. Bruning, who made her first appearance for the Black and Gold, notched a straight set 6-2, 7-5 win over Adum at the No. 3 spot.
Suffering her first SAC loss in over a year, Owens was defeated by fellow Preseason SAC first-team selection, Aguirre, at the No. 1 position, 6-1, 6-4.
The Trojans look to grab their first win of the season when they return to action on Wednesday at GRU Augusta. First serve is set for 2 p.m.

Talented derives from talent, which is not a verb in Modern English.
Has talent ever been used as verb? Are there any words ending in -ed that derive from words once used as verb that is not used nowadays?
Talented derives from talent, which is not a verb in Modern English.
Has talent ever been used as verb? Are there any words ending in -ed that derive from words once used as verb that is not used nowadays?
There are no signs of this in any dictionary, etymology dictionary, or online resource I have checked.
No, not necessarily. Someone is talented because he has talent, not because he was talented by someone or has talented something. As Daniel points out in his answer, there are lots of such constructions: five-fingered, long-legged, lighthearted, etc. These words are not derived from verbs, they are derived from nouns, as Kosmonaut explains in full detail in his answer.
Yes. One example is "sacred":
The OED makes a clear distinction between the -ed that forms adjectives and the -ed that forms the past participle (and, naturally, any past participle can be used as an adjective). The adjective-forming -ed (which gives the meaning "possessing, provided with, characterized by") definitely does not have any inherent verb-related qualities, or require that there ever was some verb counterpart at any point in time. You can go straight from noun to adjective, like in your example with talent. Even in cases where there is a verb form, e.g. feathered, there is nothing about "feathered bird" that suggests that this feathered came from the verb (i.e. nobody ever feathered the bird). Compare that to "fallen soldier", where adjective fallen clearly did come from the past participle fallen (i.e. the soldier did fall).
The reason the adjective suffix looks like the past suffix is because they originally came from the same etymological root. The OED says (modified to have less abbreviations):
The OED also says that there are many cases where it is impossible to tell 100% for certain which -ed adjectives were originally from past participles of verbs that later disappeared, and which were just formed straight from nouns, but surely there are some of the former.
Similar to talented are gifted, or winged as in a bird is a winged creature.
Nouns can be turned into adjectives by adding "-ed", but it seems they need a modifier, for example:

I have a dropDownList1 with 3 values: N, U, All. I have dropDownList2 that is populated by a Linq statement with values filtered by the selection made in the first drop down during the SelectedIndexChanged event.
string theType = dropDownList1.SelectedValue;
var yearQuery = (from y in context
where y.Type == theType
orderby y.Year ascending
select y.Year).Distinct();
But, the option "All" in the first list is not one of the values in the Type column of the data set. I'd like it when someone selects "All" in the dropdown, it would return all of the records. Is there an equivalent of a * operator? Any ideas?

I would like to know the total number of operations (DDL and DDL) performed on a table in oracle dabatase since it was created.
Is there a query for it?
I would like to know the total number of operations (DDL and DDL) performed on a table in oracle dabatase since it was created.
Is there a query for it?
If your database has been running in
There's a nice demo on this page.
May I ask why you want the total number of operations? The numbers by themselves are meaningless.
No, there is no simple query for this, if you did not setup auditing for this.
You could use auditing to track ddl that changes tables. You could create a procedure that tracks the # of rows affected by dml operations by reading dba_tab_modifications, before the table is analyzed, and store that in an own table to keep a historical view on it. Not for the # of dml. If you have ASH available you could also find out the # of dml on a table and record those statistics in own tables. ASH tends to grow a lot so there is a purging policy on it.
So, the simple answer is no but as is the case with many things in Oracle database, with a little creative thinking, it can be made available.
Based on your comments, it sounds like you are really interested in knowing the growth of the object over time. You could create a table to store this data and as frequently as you want to see changes, insert into the table the results of the this query:
You could then create queries to show differences between different time periods or even graph the results.
SQL> execute dbms_stats.flush_database_monitoring_info;
SQL> select table_owner,table_name,inserts,updates,deletes from dba_tab_modifications ;
