Roddin' @ Random: Scene At The California Hot Rod ReunionWritten by on February 28, 2014 Officially a three-day affair, the 22nd Bakersfield Reunion was Hot Rod Heaven from Wednesday's move-in through Sunday's final rounds
Only someone coming to sunny California expecting a leisurely, restful fall weekend could possibly be disappointed by the granddaddy of nostalgia meets. Though officially a three-day affair, the 22nd Bakersfield Reunion was Hot Rod Heaven from Wednesday's move-in through Sunday's final rounds. Camped in the pits for the duration, we didn't get much sleep.
Famoso Raceway doesn't officially open until Friday, yet Thursday offered early birds a car show, swap meet, and vendor midway, all nicely spiced by impromptu pitside cackling -- with no admission charge. Friday night, the center of the universe shifted 20 miles south to Bakersfield's DoubleTree Hotel for California Hot Rod Hall of Fame inductions (putting the spotlight this year on Tommy Allen, Roy Brizio, Jim DeFrank, Larry Dixon, John Rasmussen, and grand marshal Butch Leal). Saturday served up final qualifying, the first round of pro eliminations, six genuine AA/Fuel Altereds, and slowed only for too-frequent oil downs. The traditional, push-start cacklefest finally flamed out around 10:00 p.m., signaling thousands of fans to hurdle fences and guard walls to join the still-smoldering cacklers on the sticky dragstrip.
Dirty Deal
Dirty Deal It was a photo ad of a Model T body in the dirt (asking price: $375) that started Robert Casada, 38 (right), and Steve Poe, 43, on the improbable journey that brought Gary Cochran's long-lost Mr. C fuel modified roadster back to Bakersfield. "When we went to pick up the body," Robert recalls, "Ed Howtz said, 'You wanna see the chassis that goes with it? I was gonna cut it up.'" The axle, motor plate, hubs, upholstery, a narrowed Olds rear with axles, and even the front tires somehow survived, too. George Scarpenti came up with ultrarare parts that Mike Kuhl required to roughly duplicate Cochran's rare blown Ford, and Mister C himself was in the seat as his old car pushed to life for perhaps the first time since 1967, when Gary sold the original 427 to a boat racer.
Buick Boys
Tommy Ivo was pulled right into Bob DeBurn's chromed-out nailhead, naturally. The Copperhead rail was making its first track appearance in five decades. The Fab Shop of Prescott, Arizona, got the restoration job after a chassis hanging on a local wall was recognized from a 1960 Rods Illustrated "little book" as the homebuilt slingshot campaigned by Turk, Woolsley & Cox starting around 1957.
Museum Piece
Museum Piece Rare, vintage speed equipment was everywhere, but we're always surprised to see Algon injectors, let alone a plumbed, fully operational unit like the system that powered San Francisco's Schrank brothers to Lions track records in '61 (8.66/183.28).
No wonder so few attendees manage to stagger back on Sunday morning, despite the allure of full-quarter-mile fuel racing. Most of these folks, too, were gone by the time final-round win lights went to Adam Sorokin (whose famous father won the March Meet here in '66) in Top Fuel; John Hale, AA/FC; Ryan Davenport, A/FD; Don Enriquez, Jr., Fuel; Mike Smith, 7.0 Pro; Richard Phillips, 7.0 Pro-B; Mitchel Akers, A/FX; Tom Fowler, A/Gas; Jason Barta, Nostalgia; and Dan Myers, Pro Mod. Thus ended a near-weeklong orgy reminiscent of Indy's Nationals when the Car Craft All-Star Drag Racing Team banquet, countless parties, and a downtown trade show tested after-hours endurance. That unique energy didn't die in Indianapolis in the early '90s, after all; it just moved west to Bakersfield.
Cheap Thrills
Young people on a young person's budget continue to prove that where there's a will, there's a way to enjoy vintage American iron. This '50 Plymouth sat unwanted for the first two-thirds of Josh Tanner's life, until he came up with $250. Now 30, Josh found and rebuilt another '50-vintage flathead six, now enhanced by single-barrel Carters on the trick, integral intake/exhaust manifolds.
The End
This is one show that doesn't quit at the finish line. Beyond the annual assemblage of traditional rods and customs beneath Famoso's pitside scoreboard lies another quarter-mile of race cars, swap-meet vendors, and happy campers. No wonder the Reunion is referred to as "drag racing's Woodstock."

No matter how many times we peer inside the Stone, Woods & Cook "blue car," we marvel that the 60-plus-year-old Eddie Martinez interior is back where it belongs.Blue bodies with international history belong to Lex Swayn, an Aussie journalist-editor who resurrected the first-ever supercharged-BBC race car (with invaluable assistance from original driver Bob Keith), and California rodder Tim Love, who decorated his ultrarare, 351W-powered '40 Ford ute in vinyl for the occasion. The paint and lettering on Jack Hagemann's "shorty" body are authentic, as seen in 1966 during U.S. drag racers' first down-under tour. Kent Fuller successfully duplicated the slingshot's long-gone chassis to fit, relying on old photos and drawings of an identical twin constructed 50 years ago for Masters & Richter.Lifelong hot rodder Ken "Pinky" Cecil, 84, made the day-long trip from Watsonville, California, in his favorite economy car. Cool '41 Plymouth sheetmetal conceals a thrifty, 4.3-liter Chevy V6.You've seen Larry Robinson's gravity-powered minidigger with the hand-carved wooden Hemi here before, but minus the scale supplied by an authentic Woody Gilmore "Flexy Flier." Disappearing upon delivery to someone named Lee Ledbetter in 1965, the high-dollar Olde Timer fueler reportedly never turned a tire under power—until cacklefesting was invented by NHRA Museum staffers Greg Sharp and Steve Gibbs. It's all original and well preserved, including a matching trailer.Not many '50s customs always stayed in the same town, but Steve McGee is the fifth successive Pendleton, Oregon, resident to register this '53 Bel-Air since new. Anyone familiar with his quarter-mile career won't be shocked to learn that Steve's unbagged sled conceals a roller-cammed and triple-carbed 327, Corvette six-speed, and 4.30:1 Ford 9-inch. He credits Dale Withers for punching the extra-wide louvers and peaking the fenders to match '56 Olds headlights.

My psp FMH game crashes when i am going into the new Season.
I was playing Cambridge United, and got the club frm BSP to nPower Championship. I have managed to sell my first 1m player, saw a 100k player become worth 5M, and just won promotion to the Premier League in the next season.
Then my world came crumbling down when i click on continue to enter the new season, and the updating bar loads everything but seems to encounter error when processing the club finances. The loading bar stops at Process Club Finances, and then my psp shuts down after abt 10 secs.
I was really upset becoz i have spent a lot of effort bringing the club from BSP up. Now i do not even know whether to start a new one (for fear that when i promote to Premier it will just crash again) or to thrash it and get on with other games.
Can anyone help me get past the loading screen into the new season~~

Mr. Bombastic? Netanyahu tries to enrich UN Assembly with crude bomb diagram
Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu has urged the international community to draw a "clear red line" for taking action against Iran by next summer, to prevent the Islamic Republic from completing the second stage of nuclear enrichment required to produce a bomb, the United Nations reported.
"I believe that faced with a clear red line, Iran will back down," Netanyahu said at the UN General Assembly on Thursday of Iran's nuclear program.
"This will give more time for sanctions and diplomacy to convince Iran to dismantle its nuclear weapons program altogether. Israel is in discussions with the United States over this issue, and I am confident that we can chart a path forward together," he said.
The West led by the United States suspects Iran of trying to develop nuclear weapons, but Tehran says it needs nuclear power solely for electricity generation.
The Israeli premier divided bomb production into three stages - low, medium and high enriched uranium. He said in his remarks to the 67th Assembly's General Debate at the UN Headquarters in New York that Iran has already completed the first stage and is now well into the second stage.
"By next spring, at most by next summer at current enrichment rates, they will have finished the medium enrichment and move on to the final stage. The red line should be drawn right here, before Iran completes the second stage of nuclear enrichment necessary to make a bomb," Netanyahu said.
Iranian President Mahmoud Ahmadinejad said earlier that Iran would defend itself should Israel attack it.
"Any nation has the right and will indeed defend itself," Ahmadinejad said speaking through an interpreter in an interview that aired Monday on CNN's "Piers Morgan Tonight."
What do you think of the Israeli PM's UN address in New York? Could his presentation have been a bit more sophisticated? Is this just a continuation of the Iran-Israel rhetorical war?

My new jewelry should be here any day now. I stretched my cartilage piercings for my industrial from a 16g gradually to a 12g. Last weekend, I finally got the last hole to 12g. It was so painfully infected yesterday, I thought my ear was going to explode. After some sea salt soaks and cleaning the jewelry with Tea Tree Oil (not directly in the hole, just used to clean the gunk off the jewelry), it seems to be doing much better this morning. Slowly but surely I'm stretching the lobes still too.

A common question in philosophical and theosophical circles, when discussing God, is the question of Suffering. The concept of God, in most religions, discusses God with three attributes:
* All-knowing
* All-loving
* All-powerful
Now, when you get to the heart of the discussion, you see that it becomes difficult to discuss all three attributes co-existing in one entity. After pages (if written) or hours (if discussed) of debate, the most reasonable attribute to surrender is "All-Loving." Certainly, if God was All-knowing and All-powerful, he is aware of the suffering of the world and powerful enough to do something about it. Why then is there so much suffering in the world? It would seem that God must be ambivolent to humans and animals alike, to allow such suffering.
But my spiritual experience with body modification and manipulation has taught me differently. When I sit zazen to quiet my mind, the lack of movement causes a straign on my soul. When I take a vow of silence for a day, the silence puts a straign on my mind. And when the needle pierces my flesh, that straign is placed on my body.
If there is one God or one Energy that created us, if that entity has consciousness, and if that entity has human-like attributes, I think it is reasonable that said Entity is All-knowing, All-loving, and All-powerful. That Entity has provided us with suffering as a means of attaining enlightenment.
I am a spiritual person. I am not Religious. I was raised with Shamanic influences. Everything I know about the world religions was done through study and by reading the religious texts related to the respective religion. I have found common threads, and these threads are where I believe the truth lies.
Suffering is a common thread. Fasting, celebacy, vows of silence... And body modification. Find enlightenment, modify your body, your mind, and your soul.

We have been taught to fear our bodies. As children, our parents and teachers would rush to our side when we skinned our knees. We became afraid of the pain and afraid the blood, in part, because we saw those around us afraid. Fear is a learned trait.
How is it that so many of us have overcome this fear?
I thought, at first, that perhaps it was strictly out of spite. "Who are you to tell me that X is true?" We questioned our realties where so many others accepted their pre-programed fate.
But then I wondered, how many got skinned their knees and didn't care? How many spent a considerable amount of their childhood in casts and on crutches? How many of us lived our childhoods without fear, only to become fearless adults?
I used to have a fear of needles. Yes, it's true. I could ski the worst triple-black-diamond course, skateboard down the biggest hill, swing on a rope from the highest platform. But a simple stainless steel needle would bring me to my knees; not physically, but spiritually and mentally. A few piercings cured me of that phobia. I think my needle phobia was about not-knowing. Perhaps not knowing how much it would hurt, or not knowing how much damage it would cause.
Does anyone know of a cure for a fear of the dark?

Somewhere in the darkness, I heard someone call my name. It wasn't the name my parents gave me when I was born to this place so many call Earth. It was something else, something more meaningful. Something from long ago. I see that "Someone" who calls my name occasionally in my rearview mirror while I drive, or in the middle of the night when I get up and go to the bathroom. Who are you "Someone"? Where do I know you from, and why do I know you so well?
I see the world in shades of gray, but as you peer into my rearview mirror, I see your clothes are red like blood. Your clothes move like water, flowing around the formless rigidity that could only be your etheral body.
Run with me in the fields that are not here, in this place, where I answer to the name that my parents gave me when I was born into this place so many call Earth. Where is that place where we played as children, where you whispered into my ear "you don't belong there, but neither do I"? Where were we when you told me not to worry? Why can't I see you if I turn around and look into my back seat while I drive?
Late at night, when I crawl back into bed after going to the bathroom, I hear you creaping around in the darkness. I hear the liquid red robes brushing against the shoes at the foot of my bed. I hear your soft breathing. I hear the cosmic tear carve its way across your lovely face, and fall with a soft "drip" into the liquid that is your clothes. And then I hear you no more.
What does it all mean?

While I sleep, I hear a faint drum beating in the distance. It seems like some cosmic heartbeat, each duuuuuummmmm resonating through a collective body shared by us all. Some live with consentual silence, turning their back on the unreal beat. It beats on my flesh, pierces it, and brings my body into the collective. We are modded. We are One.

BREVARD, N.C. – After inclement weather made a three-game set two games, Anderson University baseball and Brevard played to two one-run games and split the series as the Tornados earned a 7-6 win in the first game, followed by an 8-7 Trojan victory in the final game of the day Sunday afternoon at Gil Coan Field.
With the split, AU moves to 12-23 overall and 9-11 in South Atlantic Conference play, while Brevard goes to 13-20 on the year and 7-15 in the league.
Junior middle infielder Brett Cash led the Anderson attack with five hits for the day, including a double in each contest, while driving in a run and a run scored. Cash is now on a nine-game hitting streak and hitting .323 for the season with an identical on-base and slugging percentage of .411. The junior has tallied three multi-hit games in her last four appearances.
Sophomore first baseman Steven Cooper tallied two hits in each game, highlighted by an RBI double in the sixth inning of the second game, as the Trojans scored three runs for the inning, giving them a 7-5 advantage. Cooper leads the team in doubles with 14 for the season, while reaching base safely in nine straight games.
After snapping a three-game hitless streak on Wednesday at USC Aiken, senior infielder David Jones tallied three hits for the afternoon, scoring twice and driving in a run, while left fielder Nathan Galliford pounded two hits in the opening contests, including a two-run home run in the second inning. The home run was Galliford's 10th of the season, as he became the second player in the conference with double digit home runs for the year.
Seniors Paul Como and Ben Pendleton each added a double in game two, as Pendleton's double came in the seventh inning, eventually leading to an essential insurance run, which turned into the game-winning run after BC brought the score within one run in the bottom-half.
On the hill, junior right-hander Landon Beck completed his fourth complete game of the season, striking out four Tornados and walked just one. For the season, Beck has recorded 61 strikeouts in 48.2 innings.
In the opening game of the day, the Trojans came out hot, outscoring the home side 6-4 after two innings. After a five-run second inning, AU's offense was cooled down by right-hander Kevin Hamilton, who picked up his second victory of the season by striking out six Trojans in six complete innings. Despite outhitting the Tornados, 10-8, a fifth-inning run proved to be the difference as BC came away with the narrow 7-6 win.
In the latter contest, the scoring drought continued as Brevard opened with a five-run second inning. Anderson finally got on the scoreboard with four runs in the fifth inning when sophomore Garrett Bernardo blasted his third home run of the year over the left-center field wall, which also scored Kyle Bailey. Later in the inning, Cash and Como each posted an RBI as AU tallied four runs for the inning.
The runs continued in the sixth when the Trojans took advantage of two Tornado errors and added three more runs to take their first lead of the game.
After Beck shutdown the Brevard offense in the sixth, the late insurance run held off Brevard's late attack in the seventh.
The Trojans return to Anderson Memorial Stadium on Tuesday when it faces archrival Erskine. First pitch against the Flying Fleet is scheduled for 6 p.m.

Pricier cars drive longer-term loans
As car prices continue to rise, some auto loan terms have lengthened to a whopping 96 months, or eight years.
It's an attempt to make monthly payments more affordable for consumers, but financial experts say such lengthy auto loans can be a bad idea.

Is there a website that water meters on rivers report to? I am planning a white water river trip and I am worried the river will be dry. I know there are meters on the river but accessing them or finding a website with the current levels is a nightmare for one river to the next. I live in Arizona so ideally the site would at least have my rivers but I often head to Utah for the Colorado, the San Juan, and the Green rivers.

I posted this on slickdeals a couple hours ago and just got around to putting it on here... good thing I checked first since you just did it 40 mins ago.
Sold out
Their prices for USB drives are all over the place.
What a deal! Of course it's sold out!
I just checked with their Customer Service to see if they would get any more in. They said that they still had stock and sold me 2!
I just called.. said they were out of stock. They also said they had no idea if they would be getting more too.
[edit; I bolded that, I figured I'm probably not the only person who thought to call so maybe I can save a couple people some time :D)
It's cheap, but it's really slow.
Read Speed : 4 MBps
Write Speed : 4 MBps
New stock will arrive on October 22nd. I just bought 5. Also, The 4mb up and down is not right. I can't find anything on the SanDisk site about the speeds other than requiring USB 2.0 for hi-speed data transfers. That would infer MUCH higher up/down speeds.
found the same thing on locobuy. Deals woot says they dont accept deals from them when i tried to post it not sure why. but heres the link http://www.locobuy.com/deals/68429-sandisk-64gb-usb-flash-drive-for-20-free-shipping
@riuele2: locobuy just links to the quill deal, which is sold out...
@srilankanchurro: That's about accurate. I bought one when it was $65. It's a total snail of a drive.
While USB 2.0 has a theoretical speed of 60MB/s (480 megabits per second), actual hardware typically performs much slower. There are also faster and slower flash modules that affect I/O performance. This particular SanDisk model seems to be one of the slower ones according to this data: http://usbspeed.nirsoft.net/?o=3&vname=SanDisk+Corp.&vid=1921&pid=21813.
Read speeds of up to 25MB/s were observed, but write speeds seem capped at around 12MB/s. Only a few of the test runs show those speeds, by the way. Most were in the 3-5MB/s write, 5-15MB/s read range. They note that this is using large files to test, and that smaller files (especially in large groups) will produce slower results.

Is there a place online where one can download papers that have appeared in the Asterisque if "your institution subscribes"? I am especially interested in back issues: Asterisque series published a lot of interesting papers which I would like to read, yet it seems to me the only way to access them is to take a trip to your library and pray that it has them in print. This being ridiculous in 21st century, I wonder if there is a place online with *.pdf versions of the issues...

Questions on MathOverflow are expected to relate to research level mathematics within the scope defined by the community. Consider editing the question or leaving comments for improvement if you believe the question can be reworded to fit within the scope. Read more about reopening questions here.If this question can be reworded to fit the rules in the help center, please edit the question.
The issue of providing online access to Asterisque is a difficult one. The SMF offers electronic versions of its other journals, and the subscription rates for these has apparently significantly dropped. Asterisque is now the most profitable publication of the SMF and there is a lot of reluctance to join the 21st century and jeopardize this profitability. I agree with Obelisque that the best solution is to buy the old issues, but the ones that are most in demand are also out of print. All of these topics are currently being discussed (electronic versions, reprinting the back issues, ...). It is also not impossible that the Bourbaki seminars will soon be available online, maybe with a five year buffer, as the contract beween Bourbaki and the SMF gives total freedom to Bourbaki.
EDIT : of course, one reason why the standard model for journals does not quite apply to Asterisque is because it's part journal, part book series...
One can also buy the volumes; old issues are pretty cheap (when not out of print).
In general the answer is 'no'. There seems to be no offer of the SMF, which produces Asterisque, to buy electronic versions; see the SMF catlogue offering only printed versions.
If however the paper is from a Bourbaki Seminar talk (before 2002) then, yes, one can find this on http://www.numdam.org/ even 'free for all'; this should be a direct link
I requested Mme Hélène Falavard of Numdam some years ago to digitise the old volumes of Astérisque. Here is her reply (12/12/2005):

Corporate citizenship and sustainability issues such as climate change, human rights, water and energy security, and external reporting have become a significant part of risk management and corporate communications, both for companies and their investors. In addition, the global call for internalizing sustainability into company policies, planning, implementation, and operations is the need of the day.
The breadth and significance of these challenges tax even the largest companies, as investors and society at large seek increasing guarantees that issues of citizenship and sustainability are managed effectively.
The South Asia Council on Corporate Citizenship and Sustainability gives members an opportunity to address these challenges and compare notes to ensure they have the right strategies in place to identify and deal with environmental and social performance issues, and promote effective external engagement and communication, including reporting.

To the editor:
Is there no patriot blood left in the hearts of the American people? Have all traces of righteousness and morality been destroyed?
They have attacked our God, our families and our republic. They are attacking our Constitution non-stop. Have they extinguished all traces of patriot blood from the hearts of Americans? Anyone who doesn't believe they aren't coming for your guns, you are only fooling yourself.
I hear many say only when they pry my gun from my cold dead hands. They won't have to take your gun by force. You will be forced to give your guns to them or lose your homes. This is happening in Canada. They will come after the individuals. They will take our guns because we won't stick together.
I am a Christian and I don't believe in violence, but the blood of my Founders pumps in my heart. That blood is Christian. If our Founders were alive today they would be meeting again behind closed doors in Philadelphia, recognizing that tyrants have changed their Republic to Socialized Democracy. Our Founders said their Constitution would not work if used by ungodly, unrighteous men. Why do you think these evil people are working so hard to change or rewrite our Constitution?
I don't know how much more the patriots of this nation will take. I fear the worst as I see more and more of our freedoms fading away. I pray all Americans will wake up to the attacks on our God, our Constitution and our people by globalist elite who seek to destroy our sovereignty or our nation.
I remember a term used in World War II about waking the sleeping giant, waking America. If ever a time for waking the sleeping giant, it is now. The first step to restoring this Christian republic is remembering we the people were the first-born Christian nation. The first step to saving American is returning to God and repent of our sins, on the national and personal levels. Let the new definition of Americans read, "We the People are Christian."

I own a 2004 Kia Spectra. It only has 47,000 miles on it (I don't drive much) When I had the transmission fluid changed they said the 3 outer belts needed to be replaced due to dry rot. I am in Texas so guess this is possible. When I called to make the appt to take it in, the guy said I needed 'for maintenance' to have the timing belt replaced, as well as coolent, spark plugs and the three belts. Thus far I've not had any problems with my car and do regular oil changes, etc. What is your opinion please? I have friends that are saying there is No need. I'm an elderly female and don't want to be taken advantage of. Thank you in advance.

Even if the timing belt is "probably" okay, you have to weight the costs and benefits of not replacing it. From what I can tell, this car has an interference engine, meaning if the timing belt breaks, the cylinders will smash into the valves. As long as they don't break off and also tear up the cylinders/combustion chamber, this is a difficult but doable job for someone with car repair experience to do themselves, but if you need to take it to a professional to repair, you're looking at a repair bill possibly exceeding the value of the car.
As such, if there's any good indication the timing belt needs replacement, I'd just do it. If the shop is asking too much, shop around for a cheaper price or get a book and do it yourself (admittedly it sounds like this option is not for the OP) -- but remember, if you mess up the timing when installing the new one, then in a best-case you're just going to get horrible engine performance and smoking, and in a worst case you'll smash the valves just like if the timing belt broke.
Suggested maintenance on a timing belt is 60k miles.

Problem with Slider and Events.OnMouseUp
I am trying to have the value of the slider only when the mouse is release, this event is fired if I click and release the slider bar itself but not when I drag and release the slider cursor.
Slider pageSlider = new Slider(); pageSlider.addListener(Events.OnMouseUp, new Listener<SliderEvent>() { @Override public void handleEvent(SliderEvent be) { //do stuff... } });
8 Dec 2010 9:45 AM #2
Why do you think this is a bug? If themouse up happens outside of the component, than this code would not get it, because you only listen to the mouseup within the component.
You need to use native event preview for example.
8 Dec 2010 9:52 AM #3
It doesn't happen in both cases (inside or outside the slider) so I figured it might be a bug, sorry for the confusion anyway. But it doesn't catch the OnMouseUp when you use the slider control, but it does when you use the slider bar
8 Dec 2010 9:59 AM #4
I would use a completly different approach.
1) You can use the change event with a Timer. If the Change event fires two times within a given amount of time, cancel the timer and reschedule it.
2) Extend Slider and override onDragEnd and add your custom logic.
8 Dec 2010 10:04 AM #5
That was exactly what I was trying to do ( solution 1 ) by adding this inside the handleEvent
DelayedTask delay = new DelayedTask(this); delay.delay(1000);
8 Dec 2010 10:06 AM #6
This would always recreate the task, meaning you have it still fire all the time, just one second later. You need to cancel the previes one (do not revreate DelayedTask)
8 Dec 2010 10:46 AM #7
It's funny but it seems impossible to create the delayTask outside the listener (it needs a listener to create it, and not null one). Do you have any tips for how to create this delayTask please?
8 Dec 2010 4:22 PM #8Code:
slider.addListener(Events.Change, new Listener<SliderEvent>() { DelayedTask t = new DelayedTask(new Listener<BaseEvent>() { public void handleEvent(BaseEvent be) { System.out.println("test"); } }); public void handleEvent(SliderEvent be) { t.delay(1000); } });
9 Dec 2010 7:42 AM #9
9 Dec 2010 8:06 AM #10
I also have just one question if you don't mind:
What the difference between events that start with "on" like "Events.onChange" and the events that are without like "Events.Change"?

There are many times that I will want to ask a question to a certain audience which would know the answer, yet there is not an appropriate Stack Exchange that covers that topic. Who do you ask it to?
For instance(hypothetical):
Question: I can't get my TI-83 calculator to work with this program.
Asked at math.stackexchange.com. Then deemed off topic because it is more a software/hardware question, though almost everyone in math.se knows their way around a TI-83 and knows the answer.
A similar question is things like asking a Visual Studio/some other editor question at StackOverflow. A few of them are actually closed as belongs on SuperUser because they are more of software questions even though it may be something that only programmers actually use.
What do you think about this problem? Is there a solution to it? Does each SE need along with a meta., an offtopic. to address things to that audience?

Being in the embedded world I have always tested products that goes to OEM's or end clients, I have never tested a product that my company really use. Besides the fact that you can use and feel the product in the real world, what are the differences ?
Sign up
- Anybody can ask a question

Yes. They are vastly different.
Testing code to be used only by a captive audience has a completely different set of risks, schedules, priorities, impacts, etc. "Good Enough" means something very different for an internal audience than it does for paying customers.
The impact of poor quality has a completely different dynamic.
Very often, the budget allocated is completely different.
I think the main difference is the availability of users who actually use your products. If you are shipping an internal system, you have access to users who actually used it day to day, and you can ask them questions, study their usage or get their direct feedback.
Working on an architectural piece, a library or an embedded component, you would only get that feedback from a "Man in the middle" and not the actual end users.
If I have understood your question: It really depends only on the product under test. There should be no difference regarding your approach to the testing activities.
In addition to what Joe notes I have seen internal applications often get the "well it works here, and its only us so quality doesn't need to be stellar" attitude get used. This is wrong. Anything that goes out should be put under the same guidelines for quality, other people in the company are Customers to, and you can get to them easier and have a better opportunity to stop by and see how the tool/product is being used.
Often this is skipped or neglected, but I always think of it this way: if its not something you'd want on your computer at home, don't ship it.
It depends on how critical the software is to your business. If bugs in the software "put a kink in the money hose", as my boss would put it, you need to test it just as thoroughly as something you would ship.

Did you know?
Sol Plaatjie, a famed novelist and founding member of the ANC, was a Tswana.
The Tswana people emerged from the larger Sotho tribe and today number over two million people spread throughout the Northern Cape, Gauteng and North West provinces.
No one is sure where the name Tswana originated or what it means. Nonetheless, it is known that when the Tswana moved into the southern African region in the 14th century as herders and farmers.
The Tswana people entered South Africa across the Limpopo River in several migrations, often forming clans that mixed people of different cultures and languages. No one clan was typically tied to another and people could easily move between the different clans.
The spirit world plays an important role in Tswana culture. The ancestral spirits are often invoked, through various rituals and ceremonies, to provide healing, give fortune, or cleanse a household. The history books record a famous debate between the missionary-explorer David Livingstone and a Tswana rain doctor in 1853. Livingstone said he prayed for rain. The rain doctor had his own methods. That particular season, neither format worked.
Tswana tradition measures wealth and status in cattle. This also determines the size of households as cattle is the currency for paying a bride price and are necessary for feeding the family.
In typical Tswana culture, a family consists of the husband, his wife (or wives) and their unmarried children. The man is regarded as the head of the house and is afforded immense respect.
It is predominantly in the rural countryside where divisions between men and women are still upheld for the Tswana people. This often means women are excluded from political and religious meetings. Certain places in the village are reserved for the use of men only, while at social gatherings women and men sit apart.
A Tswana woman's traditional dress, which has evolved over the centuries, indicates her position. It is usually a voluminous outfit of dull colour over which she wears a multi-coloured apron tied at the back. This is finished off with a head scarf.

Stockton Jewish Cemetery, Yorkshire, 1. England, UK
Notes: Stockton Jewish Cemetery: Stockton-on-Tees is an ancient Borough with a Charter dating back to the 14th Century. During local government reorganisations in the 1980's and 1990's the old Borough became, first, part of the County Borough of Teesside, which in turn became the County of Cleveland; Stockton was one of the four constituent boroughs. Eventually the County of Cleveland itself ceased to exist and Stockton is now once again an Independent Authority.
The Stockton Hebrew Congregation dates back to the mid-1880's. Services were originally held in a room above premises in Skinner Street. Subsequently a purpose-built Synagogue was erected in Hartington Road, and this remained in use until the mid-1970's, when the Congregation was amalgamated with the Middlesbrough Hebrew Congregation. There were probably never more than 40 families in the Stockton Hebrew Congregation.

have a quick question about duplicate content. How does google work this all out? In that on my pages I have a form on each page with the same bit of text explaining it, is this going to count against me? The content on each page is original. Surly most sites might have small bits of repeating text on it, would this count against you?
Google will be able to detect that the text you entered correlates to the form, you won't be penalized for duplicate content.
Google will only hold content against you when the entire (or majority of) page content is duplicated (often including meta tags etc),
So no it won't be held against you! :)
My understanding is that duplicate content on the same site results in Google being confused as to which is the correct result to show, but not necessarily a penalty. Whereas duplicate content on a 2 different domains can count negatively against one of them.
So far this page has offered me the most in-depth explanation.
Generally Google will consider first indexed pages to get listed in SERP's. Coming to copy content issue, when it is about litter it don't matter, it will be big issue,when your site having multiple pages with same content and pointing to same domain..

Portfolio Feedback
I'm currently trying to gain some feedback on my portfolio website. I'm going into the second year of University which means come the start of the September I'll be looking for internships so any feedback would be fantastic. I know there are quite a few resources relating to portfolios which I think I've incorporated into mine, but I'd love to know how I could make it shine even more or if I've missed any key points.
I don't currently have a great deal of demo work or sample code, primarily because I'm working on the demo I'll be sending out in September when I begin the hunt for internships.
You can find the link to my portfolio here.

Re: Portfolio Feedback
You're on track. Here is some advice:
Run through the text on your site with a fine toothed comb. There are quite a few mistakes made on your first page that can really throw off the perception of your skills to a reader.
Add screenshots and images. The site is dark with lots of text. It's asking a lot for a user to download and potentially install a program you have written if all they are relying on is text. They have to first drum up the attention to read it and you may lose them at that point (a good thing to note for designing games in general).
Also, some studios or viewers may be Mac only, and unable to run your game in the first place. If not screenshots, a very quick and concise gameplay video really helps you not to lose that crowd.
A game on Kongregate is something you should tout a bit more if you feel it is representative of your skills; its lost in a tiny link several layers into your site.
There is no good reason to showcase your projects as "school" projects. That just means you most likely had your hand held throughout the process and sometimes can lead to people questioning exactly what was provided in the assignment and what you did yourself. Consider conglomerating the categories and removing text referencing class assignments and such.

Re: Portfolio Feedback
Also, if this is the blog in your portfolio, make all the posts relevant to programming or game design. Reviews of social media tools or video streaming services don't do anything to show your skills unless you've written some sort of plug-in or data mining tool of some sort.

Re: Portfolio Feedback
Thanks a lot for the feedback, I really appreciate it. Going through and re-reading what I've written is definitely a priority as I know I have a tendency to ramble and quite often misspell or miss word things.
Regarding the images suggestion would you say that placing the images first and foremost on a page would be a better idea than having them at the bottom? Having a single category for projects wasn't something I had thought about but reading what you were saying I could see why having school projects listed could possibly be seen as a negative. They were all individual projects without feedback until they were marked however, would you suggest scrapping these and only including personal projects or just listing them all as personal works?
The game on Kongregate is probably not the best example of my work I have, but at the minute its the only released work or finished demo I have. Making it a bit more prominent could be a good idea.
As for my blog I intended it as more of a insight into me as a person which I thought could potentially give employers a better idea of who I am. Making it entirely development related may not be a bad idea though, it shows a bit more focus that way I guess.
Thanks again!

Sometime a process "hang" both if you are using Gnu/Linux on your desktop (maybe a game ?) or as server, in these cases the best thing to do it's to terminate that process, that probably is using precious resources, the basic commands to do this from a terminal are
kill and
killall is a tool for ending running processes on your system based on name. In contrast, kill terminates processes based on process ID number or "PID." kill and killallcan also send specific system signals to processes. Use killall and kill in conjunction with tools including ps to manage processes and end processes that have become stuck or unresponsive when necessary.

Okay, so Everyone knows that the group identities like admin, chat mod, and rollback are just Administrator, Chat Moderator, and Rollback, (just caps locked).
What if instead of "ADMINISTRATOR" we had something like "GYM LEADER (ADMINISTRATOR)"
Instead of "ROLLBACK" we could have "PROFESSOR'S ASSISTANT (ROLLBACK)"
Instead of "CHAT MODERATOR" we could have "TRAINER"
I haven't thought of something for Chat Moderator, but tell me what you think, and we'll see how this carries out.And here is a gallery just to show some of the ideas.
Slayingthehalcyon (Talk) 14:48,1/9/2013 4,243
- I personally don't like the right in the parenthesis, but other than that this is a good idea. And for chat mod we could have "Trainer"? – EnemyPeacemaker 15:20, January 9, 2013 (UTC)
- So maybe no Parenthesis explaining the title? Slayingthehalcyon (Talk) 16:25,1/9/2013 4,243
- Yes, no parenthesis. – EnemyPeacemaker 16:28, January 9, 2013 (UTC)
- So maybe no Parenthesis explaining the title? Slayingthehalcyon (Talk) 16:25,1/9/2013 4,243
Hm, if you prefer... Bureaucrat - Champion, Administrator - Professor, Chat mod - Gym leader, Rollback - Coordinator? Just a suggestion. Energy X ∞ 18:26, January 9, 2013 (UTC)
- Sounds legit, lets see what Jäzzi thinks. Slayingthehalcyon (Talk) 18:32,1/9/2013 4,243
- Sounds good to me. – EnemyPeacemaker 19:00, January 9, 2013 (UTC)
The Rollback tag and Crat tag aren't working. They won't show up. so all we have is, CM tag, and Admin tag. >.< Slayingthehalcyon (Talk) 13:38,1/14/2013 4,243

The former one is what I heard in Adele's song Rolling in the Deep, is this a common usage? Or is it just for rhyme?
update: to make my question more specific:
- Is the former one grammatically correct? I am only taught the latter form in school.
- If correct, is there any difference, maybe slightly, between them?
The rhyme thing is just my guess.

Pasting text from web pages into Microsoft Word can be a serious pain—all you wanted was the text, but it copies the formatting. Reader Wille writes in with a quick tip to make it simpler.
The official method for pasting plain text into Word is the Paste Special option, assigned to the Ctrl+Shift+V hotkey combination, but it opens a dialog and forces you to choose to paste plain text—a tedious irritation after using it repeatedly. Wille's method is to create a simple macro that pastes using unformatted text, and assign the same hotkey—a simple way to save time pasting text.
To create your own custom hotkey for pasting text, you'll need to follow a couple of steps:
- From the View tab, create a new macro named PasteSpecial.
- Replace the contents of the code editor with the following text:
Sub PasteSpecial()
Selection.PasteSpecial DataType:=wdPasteText
End Sub
- From the Microsoft Office button in the upper left-hand corner, choose Word Options -> Customize, and then click the Customize button next to Keyboard shortcuts at the bottom to bring up the Customize Keyboard dialog.
- Choose Macros from the categories list on the left, and then your macro in the Commands box on the right-hand side. Now you can enter in a shortcut key (Ctrl+Shift+V or your own), and click the Assign button.
If you need to paste into other applications, previously mentioned Clipboard Text Scrubber removes formatting globally, or you can use PureText to strip formatting when you paste. Thanks, Wille!
Update: Reader MisterSlimm points out that he wrote the exact same macro a couple of years ago—we aren't sure if the submitted tip was actually based on his article, but he deserves the recognition for coming up with a great solution well before the rest of us! Great job, Slimm!

If the graph of an everywhere differentiable function has three $x$-intercepts, then it must have at least two horizontal tangent lines, is this true? I think no because a cube root function can have three equal roots at $x=0$, any ideas?
Another question I have is: if you have a global maximum is it always a local maximum?

In EGA IV Grothendieck introduced notion of constructible topology. Is it only interesting gadget or can it be use for some practical purposes in algebraic geometry?
Julien Sebag tells me that the constructible topology is useful for the study of the Grothendieck ring of varieties. More precisely, it is relevant to the following question: "if $k$ is a field and $X$ is a $k$-variety with a birational endomorphism $X--\to X$inducing an isomorphism between open subsets $U$ and $V$, are $X\setminus U$ and $X\setminus V$ piecewise isomorphic? You may read about this in this paper.
Another place where the constructible topology is essential is in motivic integration, where constructible sets play the role of the measurable sets of usual integration theory.
In Hochster's paper 'Prime Ideal Structure in Commutative Rings' the author uses it to characterize spectral spaces. This in turn is used in Huber's work on Adic spaces, cf. 'Huber - Étale cohomology of Rigid Analytic Varieties and Adic Spaces' and 'Scholze - Perfectoid spaces'.

Assuming I do not focus fire, how do my units choose which enemy unit to engage, when there is more than one in range? Specifically, are they making any smart choice such as targeting the most dangerous units, the unit they are most effective against, or the unit with least hp?
In addition to Tzenes' answer, there are a couple things to note:
So attack priority is based on two factors: ATP and OTP. ATP is used by default, with OTP used as a back up if other units are close. Higher # = Higher priority. During beta units with an OTP of 0 were calculated the same as other OTP numbers. This changed in one of the patches to have the OTP of 0 mean
This list can also be found on Liquidpedia
Note: Flying does not affect priority
note: Burrowing does not affect priority

The Breast Portrait Project - Clarity Haynes
Carolyn Vachani, MSN, RN, AOCN
The Abramson Cancer Center of the University of Pennsylvania
Last Modified: May 14, 2002
Clarity Haynes, senior art student at the Pennsylvania Academy of Fine Arts, has used her talents to help women in a unique way, through The Breast Portrait Project. It all started in 1998, when Clarity created a self-portrait of her torso to overcome her own uncertainty. The experience unveiled a sense of self confidence and helped her see a beauty she never knew she possessed. She thought, perhaps other women would find the experience equally inspiring, and The Breast Portrait Project was born.
Breast Portrait Triptych
Oil on Canvas
Clarity met her first subject in 1998 at Womongathering, a women's festival, where women felt comfortable posing out in the open. In the years to follow, the project flourished at women's festivals, encountering an incredibly diverse group of women. After their portrait was complete, the artist asked each woman to write their thoughts and feelings of the experience in a book, which became known as "the breast book."
Charcoal Drawing
35" x 48"
In the second year of the project, Clarity met and painted a breast cancer survivor, whose treatment had included mastectomy. This woman found the experience helped her to accept her body as it was, and she encouraged other breast cancer survivors to sit for portraits. These women's interpretations of the experience are a particularly moving and inspiring part of the breast book.
Studies for a Triptych
I, II, and III
Oil on Board
7" x 9"
Clarity has painted or drawn over 100 women, and describes her subjects as courageous, wise, honest, and creative. She came across a quote in The Cancer Journals by Audre Lorde that communicates the thoughts of some of the breast book participants:
Clarity's work will be on display at the Annual Student Exhibition at The Pennsylvania Academy of the Fine Arts (PAFA) in Philadelphia through May 31st. If you would like more information on the exhibit, call PAFA at 215-972-7639, or visit their website at pafa.org.

Tallest Buildings in the Worldby Beth Rowen
For thousands of years, buildings have been used to show off power and wealth, to honor leaders or religions, to stretch architectural limits, and even to impress the competition. In the 19th century, engineering developments paved the way for a whole new type of building: the skyscraper. Follow this slideshow to see and learn about some of the tallest buildings in the world.
1 of 11
Burj Khalifa
Dubai, United Arab Emirates
The Burj Khalifa, in Dubai, United Arab Emirates, was completed in January 2010 and became the world's tallest building at 2,716 feet (828 meters) and 160 stories. It contains the world's fastest elevators, 20.7 acres of glass, and is expected to use about 250,000 gallons of water per day. Designed by the firm of Skidmore, Owings and Merrill, Burj Khalifa features a triple-lobed footprint that was inspired by an abstract rendering of the Hymenocallis, a desert flower native to the area. The structure, which somewhat resembles the Sears Tower, is located in the heart of Dubai's bustling business district. A hotel occupies the bottom 37 floors of the building. Floors 45 through 108 house apartments, and corporate offices take up the remainder of the building.
Fun Fact: Fashion designer Georgio Armani opened the first Armani Hotel in the Burj Dubai and designed its interior.

5 Sex Experts Who Made the World a Worse Place (To Do It)
When you were a kid, did you ever have an adult tell you that masturbation could make you go blind? When you grew up, did you ever wonder where bullshit like that got started?
History is full of sex experts who, as it turns out, were just making crap up as they went along.
Samuel Auguste Tissot (1728 - 1797)
Totally full of shit yet curiously influential, Samuel Auguste Tissot was a physician and neurologist who advised the Vatican. In the 18th century he wrote on many subjects having nothing to do with sex, and perhaps he was able to speak on some of those without talking out of his ass.
So what's the problem?
This man is the source of nearly every untrue, hyper-conservative and ignorant rumor about masturbation you and everyone else has heard since the 1700s. Tissot wrote a book that detailed--based on his own observations--the horrors of what whacking off could do. He wrote of witnessing compulsive masturbators who had wasted away like heroin addicts, drooling on beds of straw, covered in their own feces, their brains so fucked from all the masturbation, they had no memory and could no longer speak.
Tissot linked a whole host of diseases and disorders to masturbating, including blurred vision, memory loss, gout and rheumatism. Notably absent: chafed willy. Why he had such a hate-on for jerking off is anyone's guess, but his influence stuck around for a couple hundred years. That's incredible considering every single male who had his advice passed on to them knew, from personal experience, that it was total bullshit.
The ghost of Tissot is watching you masturbate
Dr. Sylvester Graham (1794 - 1851)
Back in the 1800s, Graham was what we'd today call "a whack job," but what was back then known as a fan of temperance. He was big on natural foods that were free of additives (he is the father of Graham crackers, as we have pointed out previously). Surely the mind that created the Graham cracker couldn't have also spouted a bunch of crazy bullshit!
So what's the problem?
Graham believed that semen was an important part of living well, but unfortunately believed this meant you had to keep it to yourself. Because of this he believed a man shouldn't have sex more than 12 times a year.
Obviously that didn't make him much more of a fan of yanking it than ol' Tissot was before him. Graham however took it a step further and tied the whole thing to diet, believing any spicy or rich foods were apt to cause you to go into a mad stroking fit at any moment.
Meat was worst of all in Graham's eyes (if you've ever been to a company barbecue, you know how quickly they devolve into orgies with the cleaning ladies after the ribs are served). It was at this point that Graham did the only sane thing he could do and invented the Graham cracker, to save us from all that spicy, rich, lusty meat.
And you have to admit, you don't see Hooters waitresses delivering plates of Graham crackers.
Havelock Ellis (1859 - 1939)
Ellis was a British sexologist who gets credit for being one of the first to write about homosexuality without talking like it was a disease or a criminal act (in fact, he wrote the very first medical text on the subject). This was way back in 1897, putting him so far ahead of his time that most of the world still hasn't caught up. Seems OK so far ...
So what's the problem?
He never had sex. Or at least, not while he was writing on the subject. He was a virgin until age 32, when he got married. To a lesbian.
After the honeymoon, he returned to his bachelor pad and she stayed at her place, presumably busying herself with the whole being gay thing, while he practiced tirelessly at remaining a virgin. One of the things that might have made him so good at his craft: he was well known to be impotent.
So he lived his adult life as a sex-free sexologist and it was only in his '60s that he discovered the magical cure for his impotence: piss. The details aren't entirely clear, but at some point around 1919, he happened to watch a woman going to the bathroom which caused sleepy little Havelock to finally wake up, giving him his first erection at an age when most men are experiencing their last.
"I'm sorry, I didn't realize this was the ladies' room. Please, just continue what you were doing. Please."
We guess you could make the case that his sexless life allowed him to remain objective on the topic, so that he could, for instance, write a detailed description of the male erection without the usual interjection of "HAVING A BONER ROCKS!!!" that plagues the works of other males in th field. Still, it's hard to take cooking advice from a man who has never eaten.
Ironically, he was also a supporter of eugenics. So basically he believed that most of the world's problems could be solved through selective breeding and golden showers.

ST. CLAIRSVILLE - The union workers employed by the senior services division of Belmont County's Department of Job & Family Services are currently involved in a mediated contract negotiation with the Belmont County commissioners.
It's reached this point, partly, because the employees of Senior Services of Belmont County have yet to receive a step increase to their pay that they were promised. Nor have they received a $1 hour raise promised after one year.
According to one former SSBC employee, however, that's only one of a myriad of issues that has been bubbling to the surface recently.
Cheryl Forshey originally was hired as a meal delivery driver through SSBC in April of 2012. She also worked as a floater, performing clerical and fiscal work along with assisting the kitchen staff at Oakview in preparing the roughly 900 meals daily that are delivered by the drivers to seniors throughout Belmont County.
In a letter dated Feb. 10, sent to the Belmont County commissioners, Forshey described how proud she was of the work her fellow coworkers performed daily at SSBC and described in detail the extra lengths they go through to ensure the county's seniors are taken care of.
The delivery drivers don't just drop off meals. They talk with the clients, they've shoveled snow, they've brought in the mail ... one driver, Bev, even helped save the life of a client when she noticed, on her delivery, that something seemed wrong when no one came to the door and made the appropriate phone calls.
That woman's life was saved because an SSBC employee went that extra mile. She feels the kitchen staff and center coordinators display the same dedication as the delivery drivers.
But Forshey also raised some concerns in her letter that she felt she, and many of her fellow coworkers at the time, had with the commissioners and administration at DJFS.
In comparison, the lowest paid hourly employee from JFS that gets compensated through senior levy dollars when shared services is utilized makes $17.91 per hour. The highest, upper levels of management, makes $51.59.
Despite these differences, the employees of SSBC have yet to receive the $1 hour raise they were promised, or the 34 cent step increase they were due in January.
Bittengle makes a little more than $28 per hour and is the highest paid SSBC employee, even more so than Tina Burkhart, the nutrition coordinator who oversees the daily meal preparation, from cooking to delivery to nutritional considerations, as well as the data entry related with such an undertaking.
Forshey also took exception with Bittengle being the highest-paid SSBC employee, while not being housed in the Oakview facility like the other SSBC workers. Bittengle's office is in the JFS building.
Forshey told of what she feels is an "us vs. them" feeling amongst the workers, with SSBC employees on one side and leadership at JFS and the commissioners on the other.
She feels that the mentality is that the employees of SSBC are the "red-headed step child" of the entire organization and are treated as such.
Forshey cited an email circulated by JFS Director Dwayne Pielech, commending a JFS employee for voluntarily taking the time to get Connections and JFS placed on Twitter and Facebook. Yet, no department-wide kudos, she said, are ever extended to SSBC employees.
She believes that a lot of that work can be performed by current SSBC employees. Some, she admits, like the head of transportation who is instrumental in taking care of the large fleet of vehicles utilized by SSBC, are needed and necessary.
"We deserve to know what is going on with senior services," Forshey wrote. "Who will be our director? Will we keep or lose our jobs? When will the separation take place?"
Forshey recently resigned her position. However, her questions still remain.
The step increase was due in January. However, the last four months, the commissioners and representatives from AFSCME Council 8 have been in negotiations of the union's contract. During that time, an attorney has been receiving payment through levy dollars.
Pielech noted that he had an hour-long meeting with Forshey and attempted to answer some of her concerns.
"I met with the employee for at least an hour one afternoon and tried to explain the difference in funding sources, levy dollars vs. federal and state dollars, between SSBC and JFS," Pielech said. "As well as having to live within the budget the commissioners provide this agency.
"I tried to explain that we share some employees between the agencies because, at the end of the year, it is financially better to protect levy dollars by sharing the employees, who may be doing work for multiple agencies, as opposed to hiring full time employees with benefits. By sharing, we know we can stretch the levy dollars further."
Coffland believes its less expensive alternative, to occasionally utilize JFS employees as opposed to hiring additional full-time SSBC staff, saving in salary and benefits costs over the long term.
A case manager, making for example around $8 per hour back in the mid 80's, would make a substantially higher amount now.
Because it was an internal transfer, Bittengle's contract and pay rate was unable to be modified. If she had been hired in from outside JFS, her pay would be different.
Now, with Pielech's resignation, the commissioners will be looking to hire a new, overall director, as well as one for senior services, should the impending changeover and separation go through.
"I am against the changeover," Coffland said. "I've yet to see any numbers that it can be done any cheaper or better than the job that's currently being done by JFS."
Attempts to reach fellow commissioners Ginny Favede and Chuck Probst were unsuccessful.

I understand how to apply the chain rule to two functions, but trip up when it comes to three or more.
Given $f~(x~)= x~\sqrt{1-x^{2}}$, I can see there are three values:
$a: 1-x^{2}$
$b: \sqrt{a}$
$c: x~\cdot b$
Now, $$f(b(a))= \frac{1}{2~\sqrt{1-x^{2}}}~\cdot~2x= x \sqrt{1-x^{2}},$$ but how do I factor in the last x value?
Am I on the right track here?
