To this point, I was also fortunate to be at 2/28/03 and that Tweezer is in my opinion not only one of the greatest (if not the greatest) versions of all-time, but is so much more interesting than 12/2/95. Just an incredible exercise in group improvisation.
With that being said, I think the Runaway Jim at this show is completely underrated. If you like the boys firing on all cylinders with Trey leading the way, this is 8+ minutes of beauty...check it.

This common symptom, usually referred to as "morning sickness," typically makes an appearance between 2-8 weeks after conception. Your nausea may be accompanied by vomiting, and won't necessarily be restricted to the morning hours. This is perhaps the most difficult pregnancy symptom to deal with, so follow these tips to help combat your morning sickness.

I have the idea of wearing my kilt whilst travelling around Europe. It will be a lighter fabric than the traditional woolen one as it would be too warm for summer in Europe.
What is a kilt?
hint: it's the thing he's wearing round his waist that looks like a skirt.
Well I would like to wear it when I go to Paris so I can show off to the French ladies :)
However my main reason is that Kilts are quite functional for walking and travelling, I am planning on getting one of these when I travel.
Also I would like to see what reactions I get from people when travelling around Europe.
Where am I going in Europe?
So have any of you guys worn a unique piece of clothing associated to your country e.g. a Stetsan hat from Texas, USA or a Beret from France?
What were the reactions you got from doing this when in another country?
Did you receive any trouble for doing so or did you get positive reactions?
Do you think it could cause offense in some countries , e.g. bare legs is forbidden?

From its inception, the Central Florida Ballet has been leading arts innovator in the community: being the first organization to use pyrotechnics in "The Nutcracker", the first to create a dance performance tribute to the lives lost and the heroes of the World Trade Center attack on September 11, 2001, and presenting the first ballet competition (World Ballet Competition) to be entirely broadcast live on the internet and using a computerized scoring system similar to the Olympics.
As Central Florida Ballet and the Ballet Academy of Central Florida enters their 11th season, the company, academy, and programs continue to offer the best in dance performance, instruction, and opportunities to Central Florida residents and to dance lovers world-wide.
- In August of 2001, Central Florida Ballet, a not for profit professional dance company, was formed and the first production, Tutus, Tango, and More, opens to sell-out audiences. This young organization had already proven its potential in one year.
- Informances, an outreach program for Orange County school children is introduced. The school-based program combines a short lecture and performance in one. Each year thousands of students in the Central Florida area experience this exciting educational program.
- Central Florida Ballet premieres The Nutcracker and its production, performed yearly since, has become the most popular Nutcracker in the area. Under the choreographic expertise of Mr. Petrutiu, the production has received rave reviews, including being mentioned as one of the nation's top Nutcrackers by CNN and USA Today Headlines News.
- During the next three years, the Central Florida Ballet created student companies and grew its professional company with performances throughout its season such as On Centerstage, The Fairy Doll, Peter and the Wolf, Paquita, The Toy Shop, Carnival to Save the Animals and more.
- CNN Headline News names CFB's The Nutcracker as "one of the top-five outstanding productions in the nation".
- USA Today features the Central Florida Ballet's production and names it the "pyrotechnic Nutcracker".
- Vladimir Bykov is named Artistic Director. Under the general direction of Mr. Petrutiu and the artistic direction of Mr. Bykov, Central Florida Ballet and the Ballet Academy of Central Florida continue to excel. New ballets such as The Ugly Duckling and Swan Lake are premiered.
- "9/11 An American Moment", an original production of the Central Florida Ballet is premiered, and receives recognition from the House of Representatives in Washington, D.C. as "the only company in the nation to have choreographed a ballet based on this fateful day."
- The Nutcracker is named "One of the Top 20 Events in the southeast region" by the Southeast Tourism Society.
- In the summer of 2007, Vasile Petrutiu founded the World Ballet Competition (WBC).
- The United Arts of Central Florida presents the Central Florida Ballet with the Excellence in Arts award for the inaugural World Ballet Competition.
- The Central Florida Ballet partners with Northland, A Church Distributed to present a free 10th Anniversary Benefit performance of CFB's original production "9/11 An American Moment" to honor the victims and heroes of September 11, 2001.
- The World Ballet Competition having just completed its fifth year in June of 2011 is one of the world's top ballet competitions and places a strong emphasis on the professional dancer. The vision and mission of WBC is to be the most objective and fair competition in the world and to attract the highest level of talent that exists. This has been well documented in Dancer Magazine and Dance for You Magazine (based in Europe). In 2008, the WBC became the first ballet competition to be entirely broadcast on the internet and the first to use a computerized scoring system similar to the Olympics.
The competition is an exhausting and thorough test of any competitor. Each year hundreds of competitors apply to be accepted into the competition, from which less than 65% are accepted into the competition. Those that are accepted pass through three elimination rounds and, as a result, even to reach the final round is an accomplishment in itself, and representative of being part of an elite group of dancers. Over 700,000 online viewer minutes were generated during the WBC 2011 where competitors received cash prizes, dancewear scholarships to leading dance schools, and job offers.
The World Ballet Competition surpassed 2,500,000 views through the internet and reaches an estimated economical impact of Orlando an $4.5 million for the Central Florida community; an extraordinary figure in just five week-long WBC events!

WINTERSVILLE - "There's roller derby around here? I haven't seen that since the '70s!"
Such a reaction is a common one for 26-year-old Kelli Barker to hear whenever someone finds out she plays, that she's GivEmHel Kel with the Ohio Valley Roller Girls.
The OVRG is on the threshold of starting its third season Oct. 20, but as Barker notes, "I still have people who are clueless to the league's existence."
Article Photos
DERBY GIRL -- Kelli Barker of Wintersville participates with the Ohio Valley Roller Girls.
-- Contributed
Barker didn't know either when she first got interested five years ago in roller derby, following Pittsburgh official league - Steel City Roller Derby.
"After watching a bout, I ran into an old classmate of mine who had just finished playing. She told me about the league (OVRG) in Martins Ferry, which is a lot closer to home and encouraged me to try out one of the boot camps, so I figured why not? I've been hooked ever since," said Barker.
The Wintersville resident is one of about 20 women ranging in age from their early 20s to late 30s who are a part of the league. They are students, teachers, nurses and professionals in other fields who mostly hail from the Wheeling area with the exception of Barker and a few others from Washington, Pa.
The league consists of three home teams that play against each other for interleague play - the Roll Miners, the River Brats and the Death House Dames - and a travel team - the OVRG All-Stars.
"Girls from all around our community have joined together under the leadership and skills training of roller derby veteran Kat Von D'Stroya, seen in the Drew Barrymore film 'Whip It.' We are a nonprofit skater-operated organization dedicated to the sport of roller derby. We are local girls, and we support our local businesses and communities. Derby girls come from all walks of life and actually pay to play," according to the OVRG's website.
"We have monthly dues that help to pay for the building we use for practice," Barker said. Practice sessions run three hours, three times a week in Martin Ferry.
Barker is a senior at West Liberty University, a student in the dental hygiene program who expects to graduate with her bachelor's degree come spring. She worked as a dental assistant for three years before starting school.
She was 25 when she decided to give roller derby a try, even though she'd only skated once before in her childhood.
"That's when I went down to Martins Ferry for the Ohio Valley Roller Girls bootcamp where new skaters are allowed to try things out and see if they like it," she said.
Barker did and loved it.
"What appeals to me about roller derby," Barker said, "is the constant motion of the sport. Whether you are playing or watching the bout, if you blink, you're bound to miss something. I like the fact that it is constantly changing. As a player, it's nice to rely on instinct and immediately react to a situation," she said.
Barker emphasized that roller derby today isn't "the roller derby your parents or grandparents watched."
It's not the 1972 "Kansas City Bomber" movie starring Raquel Welch as a roller derby skater trying to balance a desire for a happy personal life with her derby dreams of stardom.
"There are a strict set of rules that goes along with this game," Barker said. "Sure, there are a lot of hits and pile-ups, but there are no 'elbows-to-the-nose,' at least, not intentional. It's a rough sport, but I wouldn't give it up for anything. The camaraderie is amazing, too. Without this sport, I would have never met some of my greatest friends I have now," she said.
Flat track roller derby, she explained, is a fast-paced contact team sport that requires speed, strategy and athleticism.
"Each team fields up to five skaters per two-minute playing segments called a 'jam' with four blockers and one jammer. Blockers play both offense and defense rolls in a 'pack' on an oval track. Jammers - they have the stars on their helmets - score points for their team by lapping opposing players," she said.
The proper term for a roller derby match is "bout" like boxing. "We have bouts every other month until the spring when it is once each month. We play both Saturday and Sunday on the weekends we reserve at the James E. Carnes Center in St. Clairsville," Barker said.
"The Saturday bouts consist of the OVRG All Star Team vs. Visiting Teams from other leagues around the surrounding states. The Sunday bouts are usually a 'mixed scrimmage' where we take our own members and players from other leagues, mix them up into different teams and just have fun playing roller derby," she said.
The season three schedule begins Oct. 20-21 with Dec. 1-2 being a tournament weekend where skaters from other leagues play. Schedule dates in 2013 are March 9-10, April 6-7, May 4-5 and June 1-2.
Compared to other leagues, the fan base is a little small, according to Barker, who added, "but that's mainly because not a lot of people have heard of us. We are constantly trying to get our name out there, and the interest seems to be great. We have a decent turnout, but we are always eager to bring more interest and fans into the league."
The OVRG is always looking for volunteers and new recruits, according to Barker, a 2004 graduate of Indian Creek High School and the daughter of Jeannie and Charles Barker Jr.
"If someone is interested in being a skater, they should contact the recruitment committee for information on the next upcoming bootcamp at firstname.lastname@example.com or visit the website at www.ohiovalleyrollergirls.com," she said.
A derby skating bootcamp for beginners is scheduled Oct. 23, according to the website.

I've heard this phrase, and don't know what a "mickle" or a "muckle" is. Hence I have no idea at all what the phrase itself is supposed to mean.

In this phrase, a mickle is a small amount of something (the Scots usage is intended in this proverb) and a muckle is a large amount, so the saying means that you can accumulate a great deal by many small savings.
Some confusion may be caused by the fact that a mickle can also mean a large amount (isn't there a question about words than mean the opposite of themselves somewhere?).
"Mickle" is a (now obsolete except in dialect) word meaning "great", and is cognate with "much". "Muckle" is a variant, particularly used in Scotland.
The OED says of the phrase you are asking about:
Comment worthy of an answer :)
Many a little makes a mickle
~ Save a penny, save a pound
A Mickle is an Irish word for 'coin' and a Muckle is an old Cockney term (derived from old Yiddish slang) meaning a 'bundle'. The phrase means to save each coin and create a bundle, i.e. a bundle of coins. In more modetn venacular it translates to 'save a penny, save a pound'.
Keith Waterhouse did not invent the term but attempted to relate it to a wider audience - being the literate classes as the folk who actually used the term were illiterate working poor of London. He was using it to relay amusement at the kind of expressions used by the uneducated poor. In addition, though the phrase was used up North in Yorkshire and Scotland it originated in the East End of London.
Interestingly enough 'to take the mick' is from the same Irish word 'mickle' - to take the 'mickle'/ to take the 'penny' (i.e. to fool or deceive someone of their money). Also you will still sometimes hear a London Black Cab driver use the word 'Muckle' to describe a large amount, for instance 'theres a Muckle to be made tonight' or 'theres a Muckle to be made if you do the hours', however disclosure of good earnings is usually only discussed in the confidence of another Cabbie.
Stand on me, I'm a 3rd generation Cabbie.
The phrase is "mony a mickle maks a muckle" and means "lots of little ones make a big one".
"There's many a mickle makes a muckle" is a spoof - it has no meaning. It is a saying invented by two characters in the Keith Waterhouse book Billy Liar to parody Councillor Duxbury, the co-founder and boss of Chadrack and Duxbury funeral service. Duxbury has a range of obscure Yorkshire sayings that are a source of amusement to his younger, less reverential, employees. They go on to invent some sayings which sound plausible but are meaningless - "I'm about thraiped wi' thee" or "There's many a mickle makes a muckle".
My father used this phrase many a mickle makes a muckle" he all ways told people when asked what the meaning was, would say many a small part makes a greater whole part. Also my father used this saying as well think small build big.

I'm not expecting C# to be on par with say Java or Python in the open source community, but it still surprises me just how far behind it is.
'Multi language' open source repos like google code or github have barely any C# projects in comparison to the other languages I mentioned.
I'd like to see C# and .Net shake off that slight corporate feel and move more into the open source arena but I just can't see that happening. I'd be interested to hear peoples opinion on why this might be?

What are the pros and cons of various kitchen counter top materials?
- Granite
- Corian
- Concrete
- Laminate
- Quartz
- Silestone
- Other
What are the pros and cons of various kitchen counter top materials?
We are happy with our Granite. The only drawback is that we have to watch out for stain's - from oil or red liquids like red wine. And even then, as long as you don't let it sit overnight, you are fine, just wipe it up. After living with Corian and Formica, the ability to place very hot pans on the surface it a must. I can't tell you how convenient that is.
depending on the style of granite and edge you use, it may actually be just as cheap as many of the other "cheaper" alternatives. We found that going to the local Granite supplier, was way cheaper than buying it from a kitchen place or major home improvement stores. In our case, we started at Home Depot, and we wanted to see larger samples. They told us to go look at their supplier's location. We went there, and they were like, just buy it from us directly, we not only supply it to Home Depot, but also install it for them, so we completely eliminated the middle man.
Corian is also soft, and can be scratched. They will tell you, "we can fix scratches, and buff it out", but that costs money. Why not just get something that can't scratch.
I am not 100% familiar with all the others listed. I would just recommend going with something that is heat resistant and scratch proof. If any other the other alternatives over granite are also less porous (resistant to stains) that would be a plus.
The best argument I heard of for laminate is the cost. It is much cheaper to change out the countertop when trends and taste change. For the most part it is low maintenace as well.
You left out butcherblock -- it can be cheaper than stone or 'solid surface' products (Lumber Liquidators sells both Cherry and Maple edge grain for $310-330 per 12' section). You can sand many problems right out of it (but it's self-healing like a wood cutting boad when kept oiled, or you can get it varnished for less maintenance required), and it's something you can install yourself, as it's wood and doesn't require fancy tools.
The only disadvantage that I know of over the other surfaces you listed were if it were to get exposed to standing water, unsealed, and started to mold.
And I'll admit -- I'm not a fan of granite or stone ... I can't see paying that much money for a countertop; it's one thing to have a marble or granite insert for a pastry station, particularly if it's something you can pull out to chill down before using, but I'd never do a whole kitchen in it. If I wanted stone, I'd go concrete, just from the DIY-persepective of it.
You might want to re-ask this question on cooking.stackexchange.com for another perspective.
We totally remodeled our kitchen about six months ago, on a fairly small budget. We went with laminate counter tops because...
We have a concrete counter top, which is actually an amazing material when done correctly. It can be molded into almost any shape and thickness. It can be very fluid and doesn't have to have any seams. There are also a variety of finishes and colors.
Ours is sealed with an epoxy, which makes it very durable and low maintenance. If I were to do it again I might go with a more natural sealant like oil and wax.
One word of caution is that concrete is still a relatively new material for countertops. Make sure that you find an experienced contractor and beware of anyone who tells you it's going to come out exactly as expected.
Here's a countertop material comparison chart. It compares them by appearance, durability, sink options & value.
One thing it does not cover is how environmentally friendly the products are, both in production (raw material consumption and energy consumption) and ongoing maintenance. In that light, Quartz (aka engineered stone), wood (reclaimed or otherwise), glass, stainless steel, and products with a high recycled aggregate content (like glass chips) are the greenest choices.
The least green choices are Corian, and things that get taken out of the ground. (Unless you hang around another 4.5 billion years, granite/marble don't grow back :)
We used Travina for all the counters throughout our new house. It has all the benefits of granite or quartz, but is about 50% of the cost.
From the website...
My experiences:
I'd go granite or laminate again, definitely not Caesarstone.
Laminate. It's incredibly versatile, easy to install, and cheap. So easy to replace every few years to 'stay in style'.
Otherwise, I love concrete and slate. But that's just personal aesthetics.
We used Corian for our new apartment. Mostly because of the ability to have a thin looking layer of the counter top and the ability to have the sink molded with the rest of the counter. So it's mostly because of the appearance. Otherwise it has some other really nice benefits like easily repairable, resilient etc. The only drawback would be the price compared to some other materials.
Did anyone who went the granite route investgate using granite tiles? I know they're less expensive, but of course more labor intensive. I've seen this done a couple of times on DIY network and they always claim there's a huge cost savings.
We used granite and it was quite a bit less than man made material alike quartz or silestone. We like it and haven't had a problem with stains yet (6 months). Our is a dark colored granite (ubatuba). I don't like how Corian can scratch.
We chose caesarstone. We're too lazy to use natural stones - you've got to keep them sealed and they stain. We did not like Corian, too plasticy. We had considered a hardwood bench but figured to would visually dominate the room too much.
We've had the caesarstone for about 6 months now. It's pretty good but coffee can stain it and it has a small chip where we've bumped it with something hard. We also had it installed in our bathrooms - works well for there too.

Why is the following true? I saw it on Wikipedia but found no proof in the referenced book. Let $U\subseteq \Bbb R^n$ be an open subset. A subset $A\subseteq U$ is relatively compact in $U$, if and only if $A$ is bounded and the closure of $A$ in $\Bbb R^n$ does not intersect the boundary of $U$.
The closure of $A$ relative to $U$ denoted by $\text{cl}_U(A)$ equals $\text{cl}(A)\cap U$. Since $\text{cl}(A)\subseteq\text{cl}(U)=U\bigsqcup\partial U$ and does not intersect the boundary, it is contained in $U$. Hence $\text{cl}_U(A)=\text{cl}(A)$. Since $A$ is bounded, so is the closure, and therefore it is compact.
Conversely, if the boundary of $A$ intersects $\partial U$, then it is not contained in $U$, and we have $\text{cl}_U(A)\subset\text{cl}(A)$. In this case $\text{cl}_U(A)$ is not closed and consequently not compact.
As people pointed out, you can apply the Heine-Borel theorem to the closure of $A$, you just need to make sure the closure stays inside $U$ and that is why you need the condition that the closure does not intersect boundary of $U$.

The Funiwa field has both oil and gas reservoirs. A big question on everyone's mind: Could this lead to a major oil spill? Is there a lot of oil already coming out of the well right now, fueling this blowtorch of a fire? Some have reported sighting slicks and sheen in the vicinity.
Satellite imagery gives us some reason for optimism so far. This Envisat ASAR radar satellite image taken today shows only a very small slick around what we infer to be the location of the burning Endeavor, based on multiple observations of the fire itself on MODIS 7-2-1 satellite images and the bright spots on the radar image that indicate big hunks of metal out in the water (rigs, vessels, platforms):
But if most of the oil is being burned up, won't extinguishing the fire lead to a major oil spill like it did in the Gulf of Mexico in 2010? Again, satellite images give us some hope that there is not much crude oil involved in this blowout. MODIS satellite images show is what's happening at visible to infrared wavelengths. A MODIS/Aqua image taken yesterday shows the burning rig and the plume of smoke it's generating. Here's the 7-2-1 infrared composite, clearly showing the burning rig as a large red spot emitting strongly at mid-infrared wavelengths:
|MODIS/Aqua satellite image (7-2-1 infrared composite), showing location of burning rig (red spot) and plume of smoke on January 19, 2012.
|MODIS/Aqua satellite image (true-color composite), showing plume of smoke on January 19, 2012 from burning K.S. Endeavor drill rig.
Compare this with the MODIS true color images from Aqua and Terra showing the smoke plume from the burning Deepwater Horizon rig in the Gulf on April 21, 2010; it's longer and more persistent, and is obviously brownish in color -- possibly because of cooler, less complete combustion due to the high crude-oil content of the BP blowout. If this does indeed mean there is little crude oil coming from the failed Funiwa Deep-A well then we may not see a major oil spill. But until the well is under control, there is always the risk that the situation could change; this deep well probably penetrated several shallower gas- and oil-bearing zones that might come into play if the well's casing string becomes compromised by the violent expulsion of gas and condensate under high pressure.
By the way, the Funiwa field has some sad history: back in 1980 the Funiwa-5 well blew out, spewing some 8.4 million gallons of oil into the Atlantic Ocean here and entering the hall of infamy as one of the largest accidental oil spills ever. Human intervention didn't stop that spill; eventually the well collapsed on itself ("bridged over"), shutting off the flow.

About the Show
Emmy Award-winning writer/producer David E. Kelley ("Boston Legal," "The Practice" and "Ally McBeal") continues his rich storytelling with another season of his acclaimed legal dramedy, "Harry's Law," starring Academy Award winner Kathy Bates ("About Schmidt," "Misery") - about embracing the unexpected and everything life throws at you.
In Season 2, Harry is back with an attitude as she hones her courtroom arguments and winning style.

Georgia Wildlife Resources Division
2070 U.S. Hwy. 278, SE, Social Circle, GA 30025
Most hunters need some good luck to be drawn for Georgia's annual alligator hunt. For hunter Jim Overman, age 43, of Bainbridge, Ga., his recent experience brought him even more good fortune, as he harvested a new state record alligator at Lake Seminole at approximately 10 p.m. on Sept. 25, 2013.
According to the Georgia Department of Natural Resources' Wildlife Resources Division, the 13-foot, 10 ¾-inch gator beats the former record by 1 ¾ inches. The record was previously held by Randy Hand, who harvested his 13-foot, 9-inch gator on Sept. 19, 2010, in Decatur County.
A group of hunters spotted the large gator while scouting ducks in the area. They contacted a local taxidermist to track down a hunter with a 2013 alligator tag. Overman got the call, and the chase was on.
"For those fortunate enough to be selected to participate in our alligator hunting season, it truly is a fantastic experience," says Dan Forster, director for the Wildlife Resources Division. "It's extremely exciting to know that a state record alligator was harvested at Lake Seminole, and we extend our congratulations to Mr. Overman. For hunters looking for a thrilling and one-of-a-kind hunting opportunity, I certainly recommend applying for this hunt."
The American alligator (Alligator mississippiensis) is a conservation success story. Due to loss of habitat and unregulated market hunting, alligators were reduced to low numbers by the early 1900s. Thanks to the efforts of conservationists and state wildlife agencies, alligator populations have rebounded and now flourish over most of their historic range.
In Georgia, the alligator population is one of many renewable natural resources that can sustain limited harvest in concert with biological monitoring and periodic evaluations. The population is managed through a regulated hunting season. For Georgians interested in alligator hunting, we invite you to submit an application for the opportunity to participate in our annual alligator hunting season.
The Georgia alligator hunting season is Sept. 7-Oct. 6, 2013 for quota permit holders only. Bag limit is one (1) alligator. Legal alligators must be greater than or equal to 48 inches in length as measured from end of the snout to tip of the tail.

In my study of groups, rings, modules etc, I've seen the three isomorphism theorems stated and proved many times. I use the first one ( $G/\ker \phi \cong \operatorname{im} \phi$ ) very often, but I can't recall having ever used the other two. Can anyone give some examples where they are used in a crucial way in some proof?
For clarity, let us say that the 2nd one is : $(M/L)/(N/L) \cong M/N$ under the appropriate conditions, and the 3rd one is $(M+N)/N \cong M/(M\cap N).$

8 Gratuitously Violent Horror Movie Scenes (from the Bible)
We've milked the Bible before for its most badass and sexiest passages, but the good book has a dark side as well. More than just occasionally, people get killed in ways so innovative and gruesome that they could have been filmed as scenes in a slasher movie. And, as we'll show you, some have done exactly that.
#8. The Guy Getting Impaled on a 75-Foot Pole (Esther 7:9-10)
The first rule of Hollywood slasher movies is that your movie isn't worth the price of admission without a good impaling. Like this scene in Jason X, where the guy gets tossed down onto a huge spike shaped like a drill bit:
If you imagine the spike is much, much bigger, you have the Bible version.
The Bible Quote:
"Then Harbona, one of the eunuchs attending the king, said, 'A pole reaching to a height of 50 cubits stands by Haman's house. He had it set up for Mordecai, who spoke up to help the king.' The king said, 'Impale him on it!' So they impaled Haman on the pole he had set up for Mordecai. Then the king's fury subsided."
Above: The Punishment of Haman. Who was apparently pretty ripped.
Wait, What?
Haman wasn't the only character in the Bible who got executed by impalement, or even the only one in the book of Esther. However, he stands out for both scale and irony. Fifty cubits is about 75 feet long, instead of a more utilitarian, manageable length like what they typically used to impale people (by the way, you probably don't want to click that link).
We've done our best to tastefully represent the impalement process here.
We have previously mentioned the story of Haman and Mordecai -- basically, Haman was the Hitler of ancient Persia, but his plan involved fewer blitzkriegs and many more giant spikes. His attempt to slaughter all of the Jews took an unexpected nosedive when King Xerxes fell in love with a Jewish woman and Haman found himself hoisted by his own petard, where by "hoisted" we mean "impaled" and by "petard" we mean "75-foot spike." We can only assume Haman's body slowly corkscrewed down to the bottom, just like in the Jason X clip above.
What's important is that he died doing what he loved: being a bastard.
#7. The Dismembering of the Dead Girl (Judges 19:25-29)
Hey, remember the (spoiler alert) ending of Se7en where the bad guy kills Brad Pitt's wife, then mails her head to him in a box?
The Bible has that, times 12.
The Bible Quote:
"When her master got up in the morning and opened the door of the house and stepped out to continue on his way, there lay his concubine, fallen in the doorway of the house, with her hands on the threshold. He said to her, 'Get up; let's go.' But there was no answer. Then the man put her on his donkey and set out for home. When he reached home, he took a knife and cut up his concubine, limb by limb, into 12 parts and sent them into all the areas of Israel."
"There's a dead girl on the porch and my $500 FedEx gift card expires tomorrow. What should I do, God?"
Wait, What?
Yep, he dismembered his dead girlfriend and mailed her body parts all over the country.
The prelude to this story is an incident that actually happens twice in the Bible: An angry mob shows up at the door of a man's home demanding gay sex. Rather than sacrifice himself to the desires of the angry, horny mob, the man heroically offers to throw a woman to them instead.
"It is the righteous who saves the ass of a stranger with the asses of his loved ones."
In the other story (the story of Sodom and Gomorrah), the mob refuses, but here they accept his girlfriend as an offering and brutally rape her. The next day, she returns home so utterly broken that she falls dead on the doorstep (the man doesn't know until hours later, because he's having the best night's sleep of his life).
In this situation, you really only have two choices. You can clean the girl up and give her a respectful burial, or you can saw her corpse into 12 pieces and mail bits of her all over the country. He of course chose the more insane option. The purpose, apparently, was to rile the people of Israel up into a murderous frenzy against her killers. Though we're not sure why they needed to get a package containing only the top third of her torso to spur them to action, but it was a different time. You couldn't really send a photograph.
"This is for that random broad with the mole above her clavicle!"
#6. The Severed Head on a Platter (Mark 6:21-28)
A sufficiently brutal movie can't get through its run time without the "show the crowd the severed head of a hated enemy" scene. It came up in Gladiator, 300, Conan the Barbarian, the TV series Game of Thrones ... hell, let's just link you to the list at TVTropes.
This is the kind of thing you probably think happened all the time in Old Testament days, but the following story is actually from the "peace and love"-themed gospels of the New Testament. The story of John the Baptist and his severed head is so tragic yet bizarre that even an unbeliever would say, "Yeah, this is the kind of thing that has almost certainly happened at least once."
Although real-life John probably had less of a baby face.
The Bible Quote:
"On his birthday Herod gave a banquet for his high officials and military commanders and the leading men of Galilee. When the daughter of Herodias came in and danced, she pleased Herod and his dinner guests.
The king said to the girl, 'Ask me for anything you want, and I'll give it to you.' And he promised her with an oath, 'Whatever you ask I will give you, up to half my kingdom.'
"But not my incredible shiny hat."
She went out and said to her mother, 'What shall I ask for?'
'The head of John the Baptist,' she answered.
At once the girl hurried in to the king with the request: 'I want you to give me right now the head of John the Baptist on a platter.'
Which she apparently carried with her at all times.
The king was greatly distressed, but because of his oaths and his dinner guests, he did not want to refuse her. So he immediately sent an executioner with orders to bring John's head. The man went, beheaded John in the prison, and brought back his head on a platter. He presented it to the girl, and she gave it to her mother."
Wait, What?
Historians have accused Herod of a lot of things, but throwing boring parties wasn't one of them. And the man took them seriously -- in this case, he makes a rash promise to a woman, who asks for something that an average person would probably have refused (earlier in the Bible, it said that Herod actually liked listening to John the Baptist, aka the guy she demanded be beheaded).
It isn't a great party unless someone gets head.
And, where you or I would have said, "Sorry, but Roman law means I've got to go through a trial and all that before I can get you that head. And also I'm afraid I'll have to ask you to leave," Herod goes along with it because he was afraid of making a bad impression on his dinner guests.
Also, while it's true that the girl's mother was behind the whole thing, you have to like how the mother simply wanted John beheaded, and it was the daughter who added the little detail of the head actually being brought to her "on a platter." What the hell is wrong with people?
The answer is "everything."
#5. The Farting of the Intestines (2 Chronicles 21:18-19)
Hey, remember that scene in Final Destination 4 where that guy's guts get ripped out of his butthole by a malfunctioning pool filter? No? Well here's a YouTube embed! You're welcome!
How did this happen in the Bible? They didn't have any pool filtration machines back then. Well ...
The Bible Quote:
"After all this, the Lord afflicted Jehoram with an incurable disease of the bowels. In the course of time, at the end of the second year, his bowels came out because of the disease, and he died in great pain."
Jehoram. Not pictured: Bowels.
Wait, What?
We like the Bible's knack for understatement there with those last five words.
By the way, the next line in this quote is, "His people made no funeral fire in his honor, as they had for his predecessors," so you get the impression King Jehoram wasn't the most popular king. There were several things that got him that reputation, but the top one was murdering his own brothers. One of the people who were irritated by this was Elijah the prophet, who sent him an angry letter that basically told him he was about to get the world's worst case of diarrhea.
In Hebrew that tablet reads, "You will poop your pants to death."

Thick Mucus after Radiation Therapy for Head & Neck Tumors
Dear OncoLink "Ask The Experts,"
I am a 47 year-old who had cancer of the epiglottis. I had radiation and 2 years later, the tumor was back. I then had surgery and [they] took the epiglottis, lymph nodes, and a piece of 1 vocal cord. I'm tube feeding and have gained about 10 lbs, some muscle mass, and all seems to be going well. The worst part is [having] really thick secretions from my mouth, which sometimes feel like they are blocking my throat as they are so thick. I chew lots of gum but have to spit out juice since I can't swallow without an epiglottis. I also munch ice with lemon salt on it to moisten [my] mouth. Is there something I am doing wrong or need to do differently? I feel pretty darn good for all I've been through but this mucus thing is bugging me.
Katrina Claghorn, MS, RD, Registered Dietitian at the Abramson Cancer Center of the University of Pennsylvania, responds:
Having dealt with patients who have thick mucus for over two years, I'm sure you have tried just about everything. Unfortunately, sometimes the radiation therapy causes permanent damage to the salivary glands, resulting in thick or limited saliva.
Here are some tips that may help (although some may not be ideal for you given the inability to swallow):
Hope some of these tips are helpful.

Customizer's Guide To Basic Chopping - Chop SueyWritten by on December 1, 2011 Part 1: The Customizer's Guide to Basic Top Chopping
I once read on the back of a pizza box that said, "No task ahead of you is as great as the power within you." To be honest I was a bit shocked to see it because I wasn't up to par on the fortune cookie style of the pizza box, yet at the same time I figured I'd rather have a morale boost than a set of lucky numbers. (Confucius hasn't exactly been channeling the correct powers of the unknown in dealing my hand of lucky numbers distributed along a sliver of paper inside a horseshoe cookie!) For some strange reason, mostly due to a comical conversation piece, I cut the saying out and hung it in the shop. I guess you could call it my version of Notre Dame's "Play like a champion today." Now how does all this apply to some vintage tin? Well, I think it's a motto we all could use when the time comes to customize your ride.
For whatever the reason, a lot of folks out there find tackling metalwork an unattainable task. Sure, most will fill holes, shave a badge or something else along the lines of basic metalwork, but actually digging into a project that will help define your ride . . . let's just say it's harder to convince them it's possible than it is keeping Lindsay Lohan away from an open bar! The only fallacy to the whole scenario is that metal is one of the easiest things to work. It can be cut, shaped, welded and built into almost anything; and last time I checked our old trucks are mostly comprised of it. Good old-fashioned, thick malleable American steel at that, which is the best kind to work with. With that being said, for this tech story I want everyone to adapt the pizza box motto, because in reality this metalworking story is quite possible-as I'm going to show.
One of the greatest ways to enhance a classic truck is to chop the top. Now there a more ways to chop a top on a classic truck than you could shake a stick at, but in the end the processes are all similar: cut the A and B pillars, split the roof, add a piece of filler and then fit the jambs and glass. It's as basic as that. Funny part is the metalwork isn't the hardest part; the trickiest part is fitting doors and glass. However, what if I said there was a way to chop your '55-'59 Chevy truck without ever touching the doorjambs and the only glass to be dealt with is the windshield? Now the excuse bank is running dry! By chopping just the front of the A-pillars and the cap of the roof on these trucks, one can actually end up with a 4-inch chop, without ever touching the doors, side glass, back glass or jambs.
These old Chevy and GMC trucks are so robust up in the cap of the roof that there's plenty of meat to play with. Because the windshield sits so much higher than the top of the side glass, GM had to accommodate the top by adding more metal to the cap in order to flow the glass into the roof line. Beyond that they also developed the cab with a built-in sunvisor—a total departure from the early advanced design bodies. The new cap of the Chevy roofs didn't create a flowing line from the windshield to the roof transition. Instead, there is a definitive break in the top. In fact, it wasn't until '73 that we see GM bring back—and never depart from again—the much more aerodynamic and visually stunning effect of flowing the windshield into the top. Because of all these attributes, it has left the perfect playground for the customizer. By simply removing a few inches from the front of the A-pillar, slicing a sliver from the cap and then deleting the overhang, the roof of the truck will be drastically altered. What one ends up with is a chopped top without all the headaches of glass and fitment. It's actually quite genius and very simple to accomplish. But don't take my word for it; just follow along as you'll see how Star Kustom Shop shows you, "the proof is in the pudding"! By the way, don't limit this method to only the '55-'59 Chevy trucks because it can also be applied to other various makes and models of trucks. CCT
More Photos From This Article View Slideshow
Here are a few views of the top before the knife. For starters, look how the top line of the side glass is several inches below the top line of the windshield. From there note the bulbous and robust shape of the cap of the roof coupled with the gnarly overhang. That's all about to change!Another thing that I just couldn't shake was the gap between the roof and the top of the doorjamb. This too will change within seconds.The first incision is made to the internal structure of the cap. The inner skin of the headliner, which doubles as the inside perimeter of the cap, needs to be removed.Here's how things will pan out. The inner skin will be removed to allow for just the outer cap to be cut free.For the most part the drip rail surrounding the perimeter of the cap is what's holding it to the cab; therefore I cut the drip rail flush with a cut-off wheel.Now before any more cuts are made to the top, it's important to think things through, due to the fact that this is the real deal now. I used some tape to give me some reference lines. The tape running across the front of the roof is where I'll cut the remaining portion of the cap. The tape running across the door is a visual line to where the new roof line will stack up—this line is more just for visualizing as opposed to functional.The point of no return! At this point you're all in, so go ahead and breathe easy. Without the skin of the roof on the truck, one can really tell just how tall that windshield is; a definite no-no in my book.
Here's one cool thing about chopping the top in this manner, it takes seconds to fit the upper door gap to more appropriate tolerances. Using a hammer I lowered the roof line to flow an even 1/4-inch across the door.Ok, here's where this chop is really going to break free from a traditional chop. Instead of cutting the entire A-pillar I'm only going to remove a chunk of material from the front side of the A-pillar, which is illustrated between the two fingers. By doing this the side glass nor the doorjamb will be touched whatsoever.Using a level I drew a line across the entire A-pillar. From there I measure two inches down and drew a parallel line with the level. It's important to make these cuts level with the world, so mark accordingly.To aid in a clean cut I also taped the pillar off. This is definitely a time to live by the "measure twice, cut once" dictum. Also at this time, measure the distance between the dash and the center line of the roof overhang.Next up, the area between the tape was cut free, but I was sure to leave the rear of the A-pillar unscathed.At this point, the upper portions of the A-pillars are still attached, so a vertical incision is made up from the back of the upper cut. The beauty of this is once things are cut free the front half of the pillar will slide down and butt up against the two cut marks, which means no filler material will be needed.Being that the posts are now lowered, the horizontal length of the front of the roof isn't going to be long enough. For that reason, the front section of the roof, which was just removed, will need to be split and lengthened to the new opening. At this point all I have done is tacked a filler piece in position, however, be sure to keep the correct radius of the windshield line because this is crucial to windshield fitment! Remember the markings made from the dash distance? The center line should now measure roughly 2 inches lower.

Dr. Brooks to the rescue
Thank you Dr. Brooks for coming to my rescue on Tuesday morning. With all of the snow of the roads it was hard to tell where the edge of the road was. After I successfully got really stuck, I called Mike Brooks who with the help of his loyal tractor (it started even though it hadn't been plugged in) came and pulled me out. Not only do you always take great care of my pets, but thanks for taking care of me too!

Despite angels and crowfunding, VC model still the go-to option for many startups
Fed Drops a hint?
The Euro opened the week stronger within an overall risk-off context climbing from an opening level of 1.0975 to surpass 1.1100 despite better than expected Durable Goods Orders out of the US. EURUSD was also underpinned by a strong German IFO survey for July and profit taking ahead of Wednesday's Fed policy decision.
Market Repositioning Ahead of Fed
Well things have slowed down a bit in the currency markets this week with the Greek situation in a temporary dormancy. Greek banks reopened on Monday after receiving EUR 900m in ELA last week.
Effectively managing risks during a startup launch
Fewer companies receiving VC funding, despite larger investments
Done Deal (or is it?)
Another exciting week in the foreign exchange markets comes to an end today with volatility stemming from a variety of sources including congressional testimony from US Fed Chair Janet Yellen, hawkish comments from the Bank of England, an ECB monetary policy statement, and a surprise rate cut from the Bank of Canada. Oh, and yes, we have a deal in the making between Greece and its creditors! Applause. EU finance ministers met on Saturday to discuss a package of reforms provided to them by Greece, along with a EUR 60 billion/3 year bailout proposal.
Final Countdown for Greece?
While nothing has 'really' changed with the Greek situation, plenty has happened since last Friday's writing and appears to be coming ever closer to some sort of resolution.
Greece is the Word
If you happen to be growing tired of 'Grease' lyrical references, imagine how tired the market must be of the back and forth between the Greeks and their creditors. Well, the Greek debt situation appears to be coming to a head this weekend and the ECB has indeed grown tired of Greek recalcitrance.

The previous kernel was 3.5.0-18.
I've just installed the latest quantal kernel v. 3.7.0-5.13 (just the kernel packages) from xorg-edgers, and now also the brightness keys (fn+f5 and fn+f6) work as expected.
I just picked up the ux31a a few days ago. I plan to wipe the drive and install Ubuntu, but was wondering what is everyone's plan for getting windows back on to the machine.
Say 3 years down the line I want to sell it. I need to reinstall windows 8, has anyone managed to get their windows key from Asus?
Mine just came with a windows 8 sticker on the bottom and no key. It activated without needed it, so assuming its entered at the factory.
i have a new UX31a
since i dont like windows, I compleately removed all the windows partitions and installed 12.04 64bit from a live usb stick (after disabling secure boot in the bios (version 215)).
I successfully installed ubuntu, four partitions (/home, /, swap and /boot), boot loader on /dev/sda
after reboot the laptop jumps into the bios and I dont have the harddrive as an option to boot. actually there are no options to boot...
I booted from the USB stick again into the LIVE system and tried to repair grub, reboot, no success
please help!

Hi Everyone. I have the Asus Zenbook Prime UX31A-AB71, and I have gotten everything to work with Linux Mint 14 except for the brightness keys. I have kernel 3.7.0-7-generic which was installed from the xorg bleeding edge repository.
The brightness keys actually work, somewhat. The problem is that I can adjust the brightness down only one "notch" so to speak, or back up to the maximum. I presume there is some gnome setting I need to tweak? By the way, I'm using the Cinnamon desktop environment, which is based off of gnome 3. I decided to ask here because this seemed to be the most active group regarding the Zenbook Prime. Does anyone have any ideas?
Oh and also, if anyone else is wondering, installing this kernel solved any and all Wifi issues I was having with dropped packets/slow speeds, etc. No need to disable draft-n mode as the community page suggests...

3 problems with genuine Battlefront-videogame. Please help me! I'm desperate!

3 problems with genuine Battlefront-videogame. Please help me! I'm desperate!
I always thought that if one were to
a genuine videogame rather than download it off some illegal internet page or copy it of someone else's original - that this person would never face any real problems. How wrong I was ...
I'm having 3 problems with "Star Wars: Battlefront" and any assistance would be more than welcome - thanks already in advance for those who try to help me.
1) I have a powerful computer which I recently and completely (and I mean all 3 hard drives) ran for defragmentation and possible virusses. I also ran a purchased version of Registry Cleaner and CCleaner to delete any possible 'dead files' that only slow down my computer.
The thing is
installing Star Wars: Battlefront
is extremely slow! I'm talking about more than 5 FULL minutes before it actually begins! What is slowing it down, please-please-please!
After the horrendous job of installing "Star Wars: Battlefront" which takes wááy longer than it's supposed to - I notice that there are 2 crucial things that none of my characters can't do in the game:
2) None of my characters can't heal down. Regardless of what button I assign to healing down (not prawning with your belly onto the ground, but just bending down a little, making your character smaller thus less of a target) - it just won't work!! It's soo frustrating!!
3) When I finally reach one of the red 'receivers' and step on it they don't turn green thus the ENTIRE object of the game is smashed into pieces, because I can never win simply because I'm unable to make all the red signs green!
I think both these problems might be a result of the extremely long time that it takes for "Star Wars: Battlefront" to start installing and lauching the actual game!
(Mind you: it's just the initiation of the installing and launching process that takes such a long time. The actual installing of the game and playing of the game goes smooth)
Oh - please, people! I know that there are some geniuses on this forum (that's why I came here). Please tell me what you need for information of my PC and I'll give it to you and hopefully together we can figger this one out.
Many, many, many thanks for anyone who tries to help me here!
Hope to hear something soon ...
Bye for now

5 Everyday Annoyances That Are Actually Worldwide Disasters
We like to make fun of people who complain about "First World problems" -- selfish bastards who whine about getting stuck in traffic in a world where billions have no transportation at all or complain about too many commercials on TV on a planet where a quarter of the people still don't have electricity.
But the thing is, those petty little daily annoyances are actually huge problems. We just don't realize it. We're talking about things like ...
#5. Traffic Jams
Hemera Technologies/Photos.com
The Petty Complaint:
Approaching a traffic jam is the transportation equivalent of being pelted by gamma radiation, transforming you into a profanity-bellowing, horn-mutilating Vehicular Hulk. You sit there every morning, not moving, with a growing suspicion that the world's engineers have designed traffic patterns with the explicit intention of making you -- you, specifically -- a half-hour late for work.
Stockbyte/Stockbyte/Getty Images
"Sorry, boss -- global traffic conspiracy."
The Huge Problem:
Let's start with the obvious: Sitting in clogged traffic causes us to waste an astonishing 2.9 billion gallons of gasoline a year in the U.S. alone, according to the Texas A&M Transportation Institute (TTI). And yes, all of that combusted fuel is puking out exhaust that goes right into the atmosphere -- one study found that we could cut greenhouse emissions by up to 20 percent just by finding ways to freaking get traffic moving already (have you tried honking your horn?).
Stockbyte/Stockbyte/Getty Images
Have you tried honking it forever?
But then there's the other precious resource that's being wasted: fucking time. Traffic delays might seem silly to complain about when compared to the rest of the world's problems, but if you consider all the other things people could be doing with the time they spend sitting in their cars meticulously plotting the mass murder of every driver within a 5-mile radius, suddenly it's not so trivial anymore. Traffic, in other words, is murdering our productivity.
In 2007 alone, Americans spent over 500,000 collective years wading through traffic jams. That's over 4 billion hours -- and if you take the work that those individuals would have otherwise produced and factor in the aforementioned fuel they wasted, you're looking at over $87 billion the nation pissed away, just because we couldn't get from Point A to Point B fast enough.
Thinkstock Images/Stockbyte/Getty Images
So whoever it was sitting with eyes closed at the green light air drumming to "In the Air Tonight," expect a bill.
It wasn't always this bad, either. In 1982, when TTI first started conducting their annual survey of our perpetually pissed-off motorists, that figure was only $16 billion, or $290 per person. In 2007, it was $750 for each traveler -- and yes, that first figure is adjusted for inflation. But hey, look on the bright side: At that rate of growth, at least our grandchildren will have fewer things to worry about ... such as rent or mortgages. Going home after work simply won't be an option anymore.
#4. Commercials
BananaStock/BananaStock/Getty Images
The Petty Complaint:
Commercials. For every one you find remotely tolerable, there are a thousand trying to sell you ridiculously overwrought ways to cook your eggs or convince you to switch insurance companies via bad CGI. And the talking babies. Dear God, don't even get us started on the talking babies.
Via YouTube
Stupid, prudently invested toddlers.
But this has to be the king of all petty complaints, right? Big deal, so you have to wait an extra 30 seconds before finding out who got eliminated from that week's Project Runway. It's not like these things are destroying the health of our children.
The Huge Problem:
First, if you feel like ads have become more prevalent on TV, it's not your imagination. For example, on late-night talk shows, brand appearances and advertisements make up a whopping 49 percent of all content time. For a cynical adult like yourself, maybe that's still nothing more than an annoyance you can ignore, but kids are a different story, and they're watching more TV than ever before -- nearly 25 hours per week for ages 2 to 5.
Their pliable little brains also happen to be the most fun for advertisers to mold into profitable shapes, which probably explains why the average preschooler sees 642 TV commercials every year for the sugary desserts food companies like to call "breakfast cereal." And that's not even counting the junk food commercials they see about once every five goddamn minutes. Experts say there's a direct link between the talking pets pushing candy-coated processed salt squares and the shameful childhood obesity rate in the U.S., but there's also evidence that this is actually just the start of an endless cycle of consumer brainwashing that follows you for the rest of your life.
Digital Vision./Digital Vision/Getty Images
So you're saying this is all linked to our ability to still sing the Golden Grahams song?
A study from Claremont Graduate University that followed almost 4,000 students from grades seven through 10 found that the more exposure adolescents had to alcohol advertising, the more likely they were to not only use alcohol, but have serious alcohol-related problems, including missing school and being the subject of an after school special.
Brand X Pictures/Stockbyte/Getty Images
Or drinking their liquor with olives in it. Eugh.
And the scariest part is that you don't even have to pay attention to the advertisements for them to worm their way into your brain. University of Bath researcher Dr. Robert Heath explains that the most effective way for advertisers to get us to heed their message may actually be for us to pay no attention to it at all. Basically, the theory is that if you pay attention to an ad, your mind identifies what it's being told and has the opportunity to mentally counter the message, which makes it less effective. If, conversely, the ad is so plain and boring that you simply space out altogether upon viewing it, your mind offers no defense for the argument being made and lets it seep straight into your subconscious, unopposed and completely unbeknownst to you at the time. Buy our shirts.
#3. Unreliable Weather Forecasts
George Doyle/Stockbyte/Getty Images
The Petty Complaint:
You probably don't make too big a fuss if the temperature is a few degrees off from what the TV weatherman predicted, but if he screws up and forecasts clear skies, only to have it rain? Oh damn, shit just got real. Doesn't he realize that you have golf to play, baseball games to attend, and school buses to ramp? How are you supposed to plan any of that without being able to properly gauge the day's potential wetness?
"Sorry, guys, the duel's off. Looks like Al Roker couldn't get his shit together again."
Only 2 inches of snow on the day I was supposed to go snowboarding? They said there'd be 7 to 9 inches! Such a ridiculous degree of inch discrepancy is completely unacceptable outside of a high school boys' locker room!
The Huge Problem:
Entire governments and economies hinge on those fickle weather forecasts.
Take energy companies -- they use weather forecasts to determine how much power they need to generate for a given day (there's no sense firing up an entire power plant for three dudes sitting at home playing Xbox), and if the estimates are off, they end up having to purchase additional energy wholesale at insanely jacked up last-minute prices. And when we said "insanely jacked up," we weren't kidding -- we're talking up to 10,000 percent increases. The estimated savings work out to a $1 billion decrease in the annual cost of electricity if we improve the accuracy of our forecasts by just 1 degree Fahrenheit, and that's not even counting the untold bajillions of dollars' worth of First World whining it would prevent.
John Foxx/Stockbyte/Getty Images
"We get it! It's chilly! Put on a sweater and shut up about it!"
Also, every time the weatherman forecasts a blizzard that turns out to only be a couple of flakes, communities miss out on untold amounts of commerce and productivity when their entire populations transform into zombies that crave bread and milk instead of brains. In Washington, D.C., alone, the federal government loses $100 million a day every single time it closes its offices.
SW Productions/Stockbyte/Getty Images
Apparently Weather Wally in the Mornings costs somewhere between a large hurricane and a small war.
This is why the USA has a National Weather Service -- it's not there so people can plan their picnics. While they're fairly accurate overall, American forecasts pale in comparison to their European counterparts. For years the National Weather Service has been so underfunded that it's struggled to pay its employees and hesitated to hire new ones, and as a result the European Centre for Medium-Range Weather Forecasts has left them in the dust. Europe has computer systems 10 times more powerful than those in the U.S., and in 2012 they were able to predict Hurricane Sandy's path toward the East Coast a full two days before the American model did -- and two days is a long goddamn time when people are waiting to find out if their house lies directly in the path of a rampaging hellstorm.

One of the "perks" of getting apps through the App Store is that, unlike downloading desktop software from a random website, Apple screens and approves each and every one of the hundreds of thousands of available apps.

We say a gentile that keeps Shabbos is chayav misa (death penalty). Is this also true if a gentile keeps yom tov?

Keeping Shabbat is not necessarily Shabbat - the Gemara (Sanherin 58:2) states it can be on any other day as well.
Resting for a non-Jew is our human intuitive definition for rest (as I understand from this source), not keeping Halachic Shabbat.
Apparently, there would be no difference if it's a Yom Tov or Shabbat - he did שביתה at any rate.
The Rambam (Melachim 10:11) says
On a similar note, Radbaz asks what the problem is if it's on a different day and explains the problem is declaring a certain day of the week as a day of rest, not one-time resting.
I would conclude he has the same חייב מיתה (I've seen places emphasize: this doesn't mean Beis Din will kill him).
Some sources explain this as a violation of the special connection between Shabbat and Yisrael. This can be argued pro or con.

I am trying to install utorrent instead of using the torrent apps and I just came off windows seven can someone help me?
This brief tutorial shows you how to install and use uTorrent in Ubuntu 11.10.
Next, run the commands below to extract uTorrent files to the /opt directory.
Then run the commands below to change the permission on uTorrent-server folder.
Next, run the commands below to link uTorrent server to the /user/bin directory.
Finally, run the commands below to start uTorrent.
If you get an error about libssl.so package missing, run the commands below to install it, then try starting it again.
Now that uTorrent server is started, open your web browser (Firefox) and type the address below.
The username is admin and leave the password field empty.
The first thing you will want to do is specify the download folder. To do that, click 'Settings' button.
Then scroll down to 'Directories' and specify the download folder.
This is been verified & checked . Working properly
uTorrent isn't designed for Linux OS from what I've read either that or it isn't well-supported/simple to install, however, you can import it using wine. If you haven't got wine you can install it by copying and pasting the following commands into terminal:
Then go to /home/username/ and click on the executable windows file and open with wine. Honestly, however, since wine has a tendency to use a fair amount of RAM I'd just stick with Transmission.
without the -z function.
if the
any time you don't know what a command does you can always check the help function. ex:
This could also be a problem attempting to run 32bit executable on 64bit architecture.
Try installing ia32-libs
This will install the 32bit libraries and hopefully allow you to run the executable.

Engineers and designers are highly skilled individuals. Forcing them to enter design changes using tables, forms and spreadsheets is unproductive and uneconomical, and it increases the likelihood of human error—this is the way that most instrumentation software systems currently work. For too long, software vendors have denied engineers and designers the simple practicality of a graphical visual engineering interface with "drag and drop" capability and inbuilt intelligence, ensuring changes are automatically replicated into all the associated data and databases.
