Cheers lads.
I can't join my online clan game, worked perfectly before the update. I am getting a crash dump after I resume control
Can you try verifying your game cache for me and see if this helps? Details here - http://community.sigames.com/showthr...=1#post7184719
my game wont update via steam been saying unavailable for the last 4 hours am severley peed off right now!
I'm still in the process of installing the patch etc, before starting a new game, Has there been any CA/PA adjustments for players? I'm hoping so as I'd love to see Phil Jones, Tom Cleverley, Welbeck, Sturridge and Alex Oxlade-Chamberlain especially get the stat increases they deserve.
I read somewhere that they take players performances over seasons - not over half a season.
Does anyone know if i could go back to the previous update because yeah it ain working so might as well go back to the other update
Dont do it martin not worth it anyways
At last the problem where the search list on a scout report would keep reverting back to the top when you went back to it has been fixed. That's annoyed me for years now!
AS Monaco have a new Russian tycoon owner as of a couple months ago....Is he included in this update??? I am looking forward to rebuilding Monaco from Ligue 2 cellar dwellers to a french league powerhouse!!!
I have a few questions. Perhaps I'm paranoid or reading too much into the game, I don't know.
1) Have you edited any player preferred moves?
I think I see a few changes, but I'm not sure because obviously I can't look back at the old game.
2) Have you adjusted positions that players feel comfortable playing in. (Coloured dots on pitch - green, orange, red etc)?
Same as above, I feel that a few players have new positions added.
3) Has anything changed within the match engine, at all?
I ask this question because I've been working on a tactic since the weekend and load up the game today. My players are making nowhere near as many passes (I've been testing this by re-loading a certain match against a club for days, analysing screenshots), yet the clear cut chances seem to have increased. (As it is a slow possession tactic, clear cut chances weren't often, but now I'm getting 5-8 clear cut chances per game. Also my playmakers' passing has dropped some 60+ passes - he used to average 150 passes per game, but now struggles to get past 100.) Again, this is after analysing my tactic for 4-5 days straight so I know how it should play out. I'm just finding it slightly weird.
Also I notice players running with the ball and playing through balls more often, even though everything is set to 'rarely'. I know how this tactic works as I've been testing in for hours on end, trying to get things right. In other words my players seem to be playing more expansive football, even though nothing's altered my end. Getting them to play more expansive while still maintaining possession was something I'd been working on you see, yet it seems to have adjusted itself. Either you've altered something, or my version of FM is getting its own conscience.
Like I say, perhaps I'm totally paranoid and picking up on the slightest adjustments, as my playing style and tactical style is fixated with closely watching everything that goes on within the ME, plus slight tweaking of tactical sliders. Perhaps I just need a break!

This new patch ruined my save. I've got 4 players who were naturalized and were considered Russian. Now, all of them are considered foreign. Thanks SI for adding the new stupid foreign rules to RPL.
Guess I will have to bring a couple of Russian players in the next transfer window and offload a few foreigners.
Thanks Neil
Are there new levels of facilities? I had both maxed out but now i have upgrades available on the board.
After the 12.2.0 patch I have had players return from loan, one of which is a generation adidas player. All loans were to an affiliated feeder club and the salaries should therefore have been included towards my cap already.
When attempting to register my team I realized that generation adidas players are now being counted towards the senior team roster cap and their salaries are being applied to the salary cap. This has put me over the cap limit and I am no longer able to continue with my saved game without dropping the generation adidas player.
CORRECTION: It looks like only a portion of their salary is being counted, around $700 or so. Perhaps this is equivalent to the senior entry level or development contract amount?

When you click on a referees name it now shows their profile and not a view of their previous 10 games. Now I can't see if I should challenge a decision or not.
EDIT: It does does for Premier League games but not Europe.
Well i keep getting an XML error all the time and most of my saved games won't work now WHAT THE HELL?
Is there a list anywhere of players with changes to their PA etc in this patch?
rhodes is still only 3 star for man utd
well, the united v united reserve match was interesting, their keeper got sent off for handling outside the area.. why are they still handling outside the area lol
Should we expect another patch to fix some of the major bugs which make some of the leagues unplayable and which are stated in the '' Bugs forum League issues'' ?
just a minor spot but.
david de gea is "traveling" on the same day as the community shield. he played this match in real life.
Teams still fielding reserve sides in major cups comps. Joke.
match engine still messed up, sick of kick off goals, and wingers being offside when they arn't when players that are are not flagged
Great work guys! Started my career save last night and it looks spot on!
But if I get into an ACL position in the league I may or may not actually be included in the competition. I can see how an oversight like achievements can be overlooked but when a major competition announces changes in November I would think it should be available by March.
I just started a new England save on 12.2.0. Why do i need work permits for Bulgarian and Romanian nationalities? Aren't they all along EU?

When I try to load up my 7 season save everything is fine but when I click "continue" it crashes ...I get the "serious problem" messege.
I have tried reinstalling the game and Verify Game Cache and it's still the same. I don't have any custom skins installed and I have not used fmrte.
Upgrading my training facilities when they're all maxed out already... but only for 40k.
Neuchâtel Xamax
After many financial crises, the team was excluded from Swiss Super League in January 2012 and declared bankruptcy on 26 January 2012.
Is it removed from the game?
If you could also upload your save game onto our FTP and we will have a look into it. Thanks.
In the changelist I'm missing something about players who are out on loan with a buying option rejecting the new club's offer in each and every case at the end of the loan spell.
Was that not fixed or is it just that it doesn't appear on the list?
Really? My experience is that each and every time the club tries to trigger the option and that each and every time and without any exception the player refuses the permanant contract. Even if I had missed some cases in which offers were not made, I certainly have not missed a case in which one of my players would have accepted an offer in that situation. To clarify: I'm talking about offloading players this way only.
Renders the option pretty useless and I've seen it posted by many others as well.
So even if in a few cases it may have worked for others, there was still a need for a major tweak here.
i have the same problem too... mine are from many nations iireland, italy, spain, Germany, france etc....now they are all listed as fgn (non-EU)
and at least 80% was in the team last year and all was ok... i hope its fixable, im in (pre)season 2015-2016 and i dont think i will ever play this again (or buy any of FM products in the future im certain) if it is not fixable
Is this injury bug back? I've had an injury near enough every match since I updated it, and they're long term injuries too. Not happy
Yes there has, but even then it was a bug relating to the types of injuries and where they were sustained, not the amount of them, and that was a loooong time ago.
Just had a red card show up as two red cards on the bar during the match, which was listed as fixed. Very minor display bug but still there.
I can't search for anything with the new editor, even if I hit enter on my keyboard nothing comes up?
also How do I delete my Editor Cache files on a MAC?
thanks didn't mean to sound like an arse there
fernando torres just scored on opening day... he is broken :P
and the injury bug in FM12 i'm guessing it is the annoying bone ijnures that happen.
nearly didn't register darren fletcher for the premier league because he was listed as reserve team not first team, dunno if that happened during pre season but i havn't changed him
I've started a career game with both Mexican leagues loaded. Are Indios de Juárez in the Promotion League supposed to have no players or staff if you select start in England 2011?
Also is it normal to be offered an MLS job (New England Revolution) starting with the Sunday League Football reputation?

You've missed Mahamadou Diarra's transfer.
I am in the 10th year in greek league and after the update all my eu nationals are regarded as Fgn ! anybody else with the same problem??? by the way i am playing in stream. and in a mac
Hello everyone. Sorry for my english...
Nice update SI but I found some errors! I'm currently managing Olympiakos Piraeus (season 2022-2023)
1) The squad registration, as soon as the 12.2 update was installed, showed up earlier (15 July) than before (end of August)
2) It also appears ALL the players except locals (Greeks) as foreigners despite of being for many years in the team (they were not considered as foreigners before). I can't register them now. Player such Marco Veratti, Lorenzo Crisetig (Italians), Joao Alves (Portuguese), Tobias Fuchs, Joachim Schumacher, Frank Weber (Germans). Εveryone is in the EU. Now their foreigns!!!!!!!??????
3) Some players before going on loan to other teams, the price was 6-8 million and is now is 0 and 350k. Also in the player profile does not show "On loan to....(the other team)" , it says "Contracted to Olympiakos" or "Contracted to.... (the other TEAM)". And also other teams can make a bid for transfer with 0 even the player are in loan to other team!!!
I tried to upload some pics for you to understand what I mean but it is not working
has anyone had any problems with signing coaches? Im playing as Crewe and every coach I have offered a contract to rejects within almost a day. Even when I offer them double what they ask for? Anyone any ideas whether it be someone from SI or someone who just knows things? Didnt want to post it straight in the bugs forum in case it was just me
Very happy with the update as it appears to have fixed my two major crash problems (international management & holidaying).
Just noticed the Euro Championship countdown. Is it new? Really good idea.
Why is there no problem registering Mahmadou Diarra in the 25 man squad? I signed Juanfran in similar circumstance and couldn't register him until Jan 1st.
Also, is Anthony Pilkington still s h it?

I'm using a D3 with Nikkor 14-24 f2.8. I used in to capture my first panorama in Manchester Cathedral. I set it on manual and bracketed my exposures by varying the shutter speeds with a constant aperture of f16. I had focus on auto. Perhaps I should have set to hyperfocal distance. I did have WB set to auto and I wonder if this is responsible for some odd colour patches on some parts of the images.
Many thanks for the advice in your most helpful post and my apologies for drifting off-topic in this thread

The only thing holding me back from playing Settlers with BOTH the Traders and Barbarians set and the Seafarers set at once is the thought of sorting the pieces out at the end and getting everything back into the correct boxes. Is there a marking method out there that does not mar the beauty of the pieces but makes packing-up easier?

For the tiles it's quite easy to write the expansion (or print it out on a sticker for a nicer look) on the bottom.
I have a solution that has worked out great for us.
We colored coded the items from each set using colored markers on the thin white side edge of each of the hexes, board pieces, etc based on the set with which it had arrived. We used light pastel markers, the effect is not noticable during standard game play but makes it incredibly easy to group cards at the end of the gam
To simplify, I recommend the original game items be left white and the other pieces be filled in....
Hope that helps - let me know if you want a picture to help
I would just write down how much of what you need in each box and use that as a check list. If you remember what the pieces are called, a list is easier to make and doesn't require printing. Separating how many times of each tile goes in the Seafarers box and the base game box is a hassle. I've already put a list of components in my 5-6 player boxes for the extensions, but not in my Seafarers main expansion box. Next time I play Seafarers I'm going to add one.
I don't have the Traders and Barbarians expansion, but assuming it doesn't come with a list of components, you could do the following:
If you don't have a digital camera, I'm sure you could find images doing a Google Image Search for all the components.
There a few easy solutions such as putting stickers on the back of terrain hexes and border pieces, either color coded or with, say, "S" written on them for Seafarers, "C" for C&K et cetera. The previous "light marker on hex edges" suggestion above was brilliant as well. Maintaining a count of how many types of each hex go where isn't too difficult to begin with, considering each box lists on the back or in the manual exactly what comes in it. Further, virtually each expansions offerings are unique to it. As long as you have the same edition, all your basic resource tile are going to look the same, it seems a tad neurotic to worry about which box an individual hex came from.
There are easy solutions as mentioned, but the best advice I can give you is not to care, because the power of Catan lies in its variance and your creativity. For example, my friends' set includes Settlers, Seafarers, and both respective 5-6 player expansions. They mixed them all together as soon as they were out of the boxes, and are all stored in whichever boxes provide the neatest, most efficient fit. We just leave all the player piece bags in one area so everyone can pick from all six colors, rather than worry about leaving brown and green in the 5-6 box and unless we use all the others first. Here is how we begin every game:
This process ensures different and relatively balanced games every time. I highly recommend instead of maintaining everything in a separate box and with a different rule set in mind for each, instead consider yourself to be an artist expanding their palette. All you art supplies are kept together, because you might only want to use the tiniest inclusion of one rule set (like adding in bridges or river tiles) or you might want to throw everything in on top of something else, like a full C&K scenario that takes place on an massively epic island archipelago.

There was a test event on the Hadleigh Farm Mountain Bike course which will be used for the 2012 Olympics. There are various photos and videos of the event which show the bikes being ridden:
From looking at these:
You can make out manufacturers names on many of the bikes and in some cases on individual components if you're particularly interested in those.
Edit - a few things I picked up from the commentary on the 2 races:
For the major favorites, you probably have some chance of finding the setups (not necessarily the most recent ones) at the Mountain Bike > Tech section of http://cyclingnews.com.
I came across these articles which have some detailed specs and pics:
I read on José Antonio Hermida's twitter account that the olympic course is clearly for a 29er. He posted some pictures preparing his Merida Big.Nine Carbon Team. This is a 29er hardtail. He was also mounting Sram's new XX1 gears which comprises a single chainring with a 11 gear cassette. This or 2x10 will be most used gears. Also, most riders will use their team's brand 29er, 26er or Scott's 650b (27.5 aprox.) mostly carbon hardtails with a few full suspension. This would include: Merida Big.Nine, Orbea Alma, Specialized Stumjumper, Specialized Epic, Cannondale Flash, etc.

Is there a that detection method in use that can distinguish between a neutrino from its anti-neutrino?
Some detection methods only detect neutrinos, as opposed to antineutrinos. For instance, the original solar neutrino experiment in the Homestake mine worked on the basis of the reaction $$ \nu+{}^{37}{\rm Cl}\to {}^{37}{\rm Ar}+e^- $$ if I recall correctly. Only a neutrino can induce that reaction; an antineutrino can't.
Other experiments can detect neutrinos through multiple channels, some of which (elastic scattering off an electron, for instance) are sensitive to both $\nu,\overline\nu$ and some of which only detect one.
Some more neutrino-antineutrino specific reactions:
$\nu_e n \to p^+ e^-$
$\overline\nu_e p^+ \to n e^+$
$\nu_\mu n \to p^+ \mu^-$
$\overline\nu_\mu p^+ \to n \mu^+$
Yes, as @voix shows in his partial list, neutrinos go either to e- or mu- (or tau-) and antineutrinos go to the postive corresponding particles (conservation of lepton number).
In scattering experiments there may also be any number of hadrons produced depending on the energy of the beam.Because of weak interactions neutrino beams need trillions of neutrinos/antineutrinos impinging on the detector in order to see a reasonable number of neutrino/antineutrino interactions by the end of the experiment. Beams by construction are of one type of neutrino anyway, so it is a consistency check. Experiments can assign interactions to neutrinos or antineutrinos depending on the charge of the outgoing lepton. The charges of the leptons are found from the curvature of the tracks in the magnetic field of the setup of the experiment.
The only way one can see if a neutrino or antineutrino is produced in an interaction, is from the missing energy, because neutrinos/antineutrinos interact very weakly and cannot be detected within the apparatus. In events where all charged tracks have been measured one can also estimate the missing mass, and a neutrino/antineutrino is assigned by a fitting to a hypothesis , if the missing mass is small.
The simplest thing to do is to look at the charge of the final state lepton, at least for a charged current interaction (exchange of a W). Negative-charge leptons result from neutrino interactions, and positive-sign leptons result from antineutrino interactions. This is because lepton number is conserved. At least it appears to be; there are some subtleties tied up with parity violation in the Weak interactions actually masking whether lepton number conservation is real or not. But for all current practical purposes, the final state lepton sign tells you what you need to know.
An additional means of distinction between the two is known as the Glashow resonance. The process occurs when a high energy ($E\sim6.3$ PeV) antielectron neutrino hits an electron at rest in the experiment and creates an on-shell $W^-$ boson. Since the earth (and pretty much everything we know) is only made up of matter and not antimatter, this process should only happen with antineutrinos.
The experimental status of this is that they haven't been seen but they probably should have been. IceCube at the south pole has seen neutrinos with energies up to $\sim2$ PeV. While the spectrum certainly falls with energy, the neutrino $+$ matter cross section increases significantly at the Glashow resonance, although only for $\bar\nu_e$. Currently there is some tension in this result. It is possible that high energy neutrinos disfavor antielectron neutrinos for some reason (there are several processes that lead to this result, but they don't seem to be that well motivated to me). Alternatively it could be that there simply aren't any neutrinos past $E_{\rm cut}$ for some value $2\lesssim(E_{\rm cut}/1{\rm\,PeV})\lesssim6.3$ (collaborators of mine have been working on descriptions involving both of these and I have been working on the latter). Of course both of these aren't well motivated and the most likely answer is either a combination of a downward fluctuation at the resonance and an upward fluctuation beneath it, or that IceCube has missed some systematics of their experiment.

Doug Hyn/AMC/Associated Press
Doug Hyn/AMC/Associated Press
NEW YORK � News of drug cartels mass-producing souped-up methamphetamine � that�s the latest word as reported by The Associated Press, and it sounds pretty scary.
But haven�t we heard this story before? Like on �Breaking Bad,� the AMC network�s addictive drama series?
Take a look at the real-life drug biz. Then compare it to the saga of fictitious Walter White, the chemistry-teacher-turned-masterful-drug-lord of �Breaking Bad.� Real life seems to be reflecting art. Or is it the other way around?
Just consider ...
The product:
Today�s newly potent meth has a tell-tale bluish-white color, and it�s purer than ever: as high as 88 percent. No wonder! �Shake-and-bake� pushers are deferring to the experts. Recipes have been developed by professional chemists.
White, in his newly assumed alter ego of Heisenberg, has flooded the market with a product renowned for its distinctive blue color. And acclaimed for its high quality: 99 percent pure. No wonder! White is not just a chemistry teacher, but a world-class chemist who never reached his potential � until now.
The facility:
Factory-like �superlabs� in Mexico are turning out meth with large-scale efficiency.
Same on �Breaking Bad,� although, in keeping the story close to home, the product can proudly claim to be �Made in USA.�
That is, White (played by series star Bryan Cranston) and his maladroit assistant, Jesse Pinkman (Aaron Paul), have followed the American dream. They started small (cooking meth in meager batches in a battered RV) then graduated to factory proportions in their hometown of Albuquerque.
For a time, the duo threw in with Gus Fring, a meth king who had hidden a state-of-the-art meth facility beneath his industrial laundry-processing plant. (This seems to echo the strategy of an underground lab discovered in Mexico equipped with an elevator and ventilation systems as well as cooking and sleeping provisions.)
But by this season (the first half aired this summer), Fring�s lab had been destroyed and Fring eliminated savagely thanks to White, who was plotting to solidify his own drug empire.
Meanwhile, �Breaking Bad� has acknowledged the existence of large labs cropping up in Mexico. One, run by a major drug cartel, even attempted to impound Jesse Pinkman to apply the Heisenberg knowhow to boost its quality and volume.
The distribution:
Large quantities of meth are turning up in American cities, where it was seldom seen in the past.
On �Breaking Bad,� the Heisenberg brand of designer meth is being seen in White�s hometown of Albuquerque and throughout the Southwest, as tracked by his brother-in-law, who, inconveniently, happens to be a local DEA agent.
The future:
The real-life prospects for drug trafficking in the U.S. typically seem to lie somewhere between unknowable and bleak.
What happens next on �Breaking Bad� (the final eight episodes will air next summer) is as closely guarded by the show�s producers as any undercover drug ring�s trade secrets. But maybe one way to crack how the series might conclude is to follow news about the all-too-real drug wars.

Store-View like SQL-View
Dear all,
in SQL you can define a view that builds up on existing tables. Example in "abstract" SQL:
table person: (id, name, company_id)
table company: (id, company_name)
view employee: person X company where person.company_id = company.id
So I can use the employee view in my code just like a table and do not have to work with two tables. Sometimes this simplifies the code ...
Is there a way to build something like a view on sencha stores?
Kind regards,

New CS grad, crossroads, panic
tl;dr: I have a CS degree and not much else, I'm interested in breaking into games or at a minimum I'd like to do software, and I've been lazy, and I'm ready to repent for that. Which way should I go from here, FIEA (grad school for game programming), non-software work and programming in my spare time, or devoting all my time to programming and looking for coding jobs whilst being unemployed? Or something else?
Much more elaborate:
So I took 5 years to get my 4 year BS in CS, the first couple years were devoted to dropping classes and playing Warcrack while the last 3 were me changing my major to CS and swearing off Warcrack and spending all my time devoted to getting my necessary credits. Maybe I'm weak, but I seemed to have to devote most of my time to studying in order to come out with good grades in the full course load I was taking in the school year and summers (I seemed to have an easier time with classes than the other students, but they had stuff like real jobs and projects and networks and such). Unfortunately I made no time for internships or personal projects, and now I'm trying to figure out what to do with myself.
I want to get into the game industry as a programmer, but all I have is a decent GPA and a couple console applications in C and C++ from school. Getting a job as a programmer, not even in the game industry, looks bleak for me. I've been getting ignored/rejected where I've been applying over the last month. I don't have the experience or the skill set, for the most part.
Further, on offering to review my resume on the way out, one of my professors yelled at me for not having a job or being on my way to grad school out the door. According to him if I don't find something to explain my new period of unemployment quickly, I'll be labeled as unemployable in the future. I'm not sure how true that is but I'm feeling more anxious day by day.
So, what I've been doing with my time (aside from packing and applying for jobs and some days sleeping in because I'm kind of depressed right now) is teaching myself C# and .NET, not so much for getting a job in the game industry but it seems like that stuff is in demand right now in general. I plan on making a multiplayer browser game using the Silverlight API once I get learned on this stuff. That'll be good to have in a portfolio to get a job either in game or web development, I believe.
I don't live far from UCF, and I see they have that FIEA program. I know you're basically paying to work, but they're supposed to have a high placement rate (according to their website). If I get cracking I can get a code portfolio together, take the GRE, and start looking for housing and a loan, and possibly get in the Fall 2009 class. Does anyone know if that program is worth pursuing or is it a joke like Fullsail?
Or, I have a family member that can get me work at a computer repair place back at my hometown. I can spend a year or two working on that browser game and learning a game engine that uses C++ and making a few projects in that. Or maybe make some projects using XNA. Or maybe pick some open-source projects to contribute to. Also I could try getting work through Rent A Coder or Craigslist or the like. Anything to build a real portfolio and experience while I'm keeping myself from having employment gaps. And honestly, I really just want to get back to working, it helps me get out of bed in the morning.
Or, I can try and hold off from grabbing a job immediately and work on projects like above and keep applying for programming work. I don't know which is worse, being a job hopper or being unemployed for extended periods, but I personally don't like getting hired somewhere if I'm not going to commit at least a year to the employer.

Before advice, I am going to need a better idea of your ability, can you do this quick test?

Alright, I guess I should be honest and not look any of this up...
* What is the difference between between a const global variable and a #define? Where would you use one over the other?
A const global variable is an actual variable in memory at runtime, while a #define sees the compiler run through and switch out each instance of the define with a literal. Other than stylistic choice... well globals can be accessed via namespace instead of having to include a header. Not really sure when you should use either, I always use defines because inline numbers are faster.
* Difference between:
const int * const foo
const int * foo
int * const foo
const int * const foo is a non-changeable reference to a non-changeable integer, const int * foo is a changeable reference to a non-changeable integer, and int * const foo is a non-changeable reference to a changeable integer.
* What is the difference between a recursive function and loops? Give an example of each.
A recursive function calls itself until it reaches a condition, a loop is a block of code that is run until a condition is met.
int FibRec(int n)
if (n <= 1)
return n;
return (FibRec(n-1) + FibRec(n-2));
int FibLoop(int n)
if (n <= 1)
return n;
int j = 0, k = 1, temp, retval = 0;
for (int i = 2; i <= n; i++)
temp = k;
k = j + k;
j = temp;
retval = k;
return retval;
I had to pull out scratch paper and make sure I had this right, if it matters.
* Write a bubble sort function
void BubbleSort (int * IntArray, const unsigned int ArraySize)
void BubbleSort (int * IntArray, const unsigned int ArraySize)
for (int i = 0; i < ArraySize; i++)
for (int j = ArraySize-1; j > i; j--)
if (IntArray[j] < IntArray[j-1])
swap(IntArray[j], IntArray[j-1]);
void Swap (int * i, int * j)
int temp;
temp = *i;
*i = *j;
*j = temp;
* What errors would occur in the following code and why?
class Blah
int Foo;
Blah() { Foo = 10; }
~Blah() {}
MyFunction ( int &Mobor)
Mobor += 10;
int main( int argc, char **argv)
Blah * ptr = 0;
return 0;
When you call MyFunction, you're not going to change the passed integer as it's passed by value. MyFunction gets it's own copy of the integer in memory, that gets incremented, and then is lost when the function returns.
The first line of main creates a pointer to a Blah object addressed at 0. It doesn't create a Blah object there, and you'll get a runtime error when trying to access it.
* What does a static variable do in a function?
A static variable maintains its state between function calls. So if you wanted to know how many times a function has been called, for instance, you'd make a static integer initialized to 0 and increment it once in the function.
* What is a ring buffer and how does a it differ from a standard queue?
A ring buffer has no beginning and end, when it grows past the end of the buffer, new values are written at the beginning. A standard queue doesn't loop back on itself like that, it's a list. Ring buffers should be used with arrays because a standard queue implemented with an array means after each delete operation the remaining items need to be shifted one position. Standard queues are fine with linked lists.
* What does "in place" mean (regarding algorithms)? Give an example.
An algorithm does all the work on top of the variables instead of copying them around. I can't think of a non-trivial example right now...
Square (x)
x : x * x.
* What are the differences between an Octree, Quadtree and a BSP? What can they be used for?
An Octree is a tree structure where each node has either 8 branches or is a leaf itself. A Quadtree is the same except it uses 4 or no branches per node. An octree is used to represent a three-dimensional space, while a Quadtree represents a 2d space. With a binary image, a quadtree can be used so that a node can be either filled with no children (region is black), empty with no children (that region is white), or can have 4 children (reconstruct region from children). You need a key to go along with such a tree so you know which nodes go to which quadrants, usually they're numbered counter-/clockwise. With a 3d space, the octree can represent which areas are empty and which contain obstacles. Not sure what BSP is.
* Optimise this function:
const int Sum (const int * LotsOfNumbers, const unsigned int Size )
int Sum = 0;
for(int i = 0; i < Size; ++i)
Sum += LotsOfNumbers[i];
return Sum;
I'm not sure if bitwise addition would really make a difference here but it's all I can think of.
const int Sum (const int * LotsOfNumbers, const unsigned int Size )
int Sum = 0;
for(int i = 0; i < Size; ++i)
Sum ^= LotsOfNumbers[i];
return Sum;
* The difference between ++i and i++;
i++ returns the value of i, then increments it in memory. ++i increments the value of i in memory then returns that value.
* Describe a use of a function pointer and suggest other methods to produce the same effect.
Function pointers are one of the things I haven't used much. Yeah I would need to look that up. I know you'd use them when you want to call functions based on conditions to be determined at runtime. A switch statement with standard function calls can do the same thing.
* What is a template class? What an example that stores an object with a function that squares itself returning the object as a const. Give an example why this would not work with all objects.
Templates I'm weak on too. I know it has to do with generic programming, that it would preform operations based on the data types fed to it. The syntax I'm not even sure of.
* What is the difference between an Interface class and an Abstract class?
An abstract class cannot be instantiated itself, it must be used as a base class. The class that inherits it must define each of the abstract functions.
An interface class defines method signatures that any class which supports it must implement.
The difference is that abstract classes can be used to create polymorphism among classes belonging to the same hierarchy, while interface classes can create polymorphism among otherwise unrelated classes and it can create a further polymorphic set among a subset of classes in the same hierarchy.
* What is wrong with the following piece of code and how would you fix it? What would be the result of the error and why?
class A
int *AInt;
A() { AInt = new int(0); }
~A() { delete AInt; }
class B : public A
int *BInt;
B() { BInt = new int(0); }
~B() { delete BInt; }
Okay, I know one of the destructors won't get called in some scenario... I'd have to Google inherited destructors. Off the top of my head I'd call A's destructor explicitly in B's destructor. Probably not the right syntax.
class B : public A
int *BInt;
B() { BInt = new int(0); }
delete BInt;

You didn't get all the questions right but that's expected. You knowledge level is what is expected from a CS graduate. (Heck, its better then what I knew when I graduated from my BSc).
In your position, I would consider the following paths:
1. Go to your relative's computer shop while building up your portfolio and some extra self learning. I did something similar and worked at my cousin's workplace for a year while I sorted out what I really wanted to do.
2. Attempt to get a standard programming job to build up experience and still work on the portfolio.
Either way, I recommend reading up on the C++ Standard Library and the books Effective C++ and Code Complete. C++ for Game Programmers is also worth a read.
Edit: Forgot to mention, start looking at making contacts in the industry. See if you can find a local IGDA chapter to go to.

Every time I restart my Laptop it changes my LOCAL IP from 192.168.1.102 to 192.168.1.105 or some other random number.
Is there a option for it to recognize my MAC and keep my local IP the same, I have to keep changing the opened ports for my port forwarding each restart.
( I don't need a static Public IP, I just need a static IP for my router to allow me to play games, or host websites ect.)

I'm taking a GR course, in which the instructor discussed the 'Hamiltonian constraint' of spherical Friedmann cosmology action. I'm not quite clear about the definition of 'Hamiltonian constraint' here. I searched internet but cannot find a satisfying answer. Could anybody help me a bit?
The Hamiltonian constraint comes from but one component of Einstein's equations.
$$\underline G(a) = 8 \pi \underline T(a)$$
The Einstein tensor $\underline G(a)$ deals with the metric and its derivatives--terms involving curvature. The stress-energy tensor $\underline T(a)$ describes the matter and energy in a point of space. This equation relating the two contains the great physical content of Einstein's theory--it is the relationship between matter/energy and spacetime curvature.
The Hamiltonian constraint comes from looking at the time-time component of this equation. That is
$$\text{Hamiltonian constraint: } \underline G(e_t) \cdot e^t = 8 \pi \underline T(e_t) \cdot e^t$$
This is referred to as a constraint because it involves no time derivatives in the equation--only spatial derivatives are buried or hidden within $\underline G(e_t)$. It is called Hamiltonian because it is closely related to energy and the overall Hamiltonian formulation of GR.
The Hamiltonian constraint is important because any description of a system at some initial time must obey the constraint to be physically possible, and it should do so at all times. Hence, ensuring that some initial data obeys the constraint is a key consideration when solving Einstein's equations using, for example, numerical simulations.
When you decompose Einstein's equation into a Hamiltonian formalism using the ADM approach, you get four equations to solve: Two equations of motion in the three-metric of your initial spacelike section, and its extrinsic curvature in the enveloping four-dimensional spacetime.
Additionally, you get two constraint equations, the Hamiltonian constraint:
$16\pi\rho = {}^{3}R - K^{ij}K_{ij} + K^{2}$,
and the momentum constraint:
$8\pi j^{i} = \bar \nabla_{j}\left(K^{ij} - {}^{3}g^{ij}K\right)$
Any more detail than this takes considerable effort. It is a chapter in Wald, and it took up a whole chapter in my dissertation, which I can point you to on the arxiv if that's what you feel you need.

One can learn to play the piano on an electronic or midi keyboard with closed headphones without waking up the roommate. Is there anything equivalent for drumming? Some sort of nearly silent drum pad or percussion set with midi out?
Professional electronic drum kits are made by many musical instrument manufacturers including Roland, Yamaha, Alesis, ddrum, Simmons, and even the Zildjian cymbal company. The link in the previous sentence goes to a list of kits sold at Guitar Center.
These are all "silent" in that they make no sound acoustically (however you can hear the sound of your drum sticks striking the plastic drum trigger pads, which do not resonate). When you strike a drum trigger, the "brain" in the electronic kit plays digital samples of acoustic drums, or physically-modelled sounds that mimic the sound of acoustic drums. To hear these sounds, you need to plug in headphones or cables connecting to an amplifier and speakers.
While they can be used for silent practice, the main purpose of these drum kits is twofold: to enable a drummer access to a much larger range of drum sounds than can be found in an acoustic kit, and to enable concert performance without the need for using multiple microphones all over the kit to amplify the sound. Rather than needing microphones, you simply run cables from the "brain" directly into the PA system, while the drummer hears what he is playing through monitor speakers.
Yes, there are electronic drums.
There will be a tapping sound when playing. This will likely not disturb your neighbors, but your room mate might find it disturbing.
I believe that playing with brushes is problematic, but I'm not updated on the technical advancements of electronic drums.
As per the previous answers, there are electronic kits that are effectively silent, insofar as you only get the sound of a stick striking a rubber pad or, in the cases of some e-kits, mesh heads.
However, I'm an acoustic drummer and I've found playing on electronic kits to be problematic: they're invariably fixed to a frame, so you can be limited in where you can position drums and cymbals; and the sizes are way too small - hitting an 8-inch pad is not the same as hitting a 14-inch snare drum.
What I did was purchase a cheap (£60) kit from eBay, then fitted the snare and toms with triple-ply mesh heads (link to eBay seller of mesh heads in classic sizes). I chose these because I'm a heavy hitter, so wanted something that would last more than a week. This means that I can strike the drums as hard as I like and they are (arguably) quieter than even the rubber pads on electronic kits.
I also stuffed the bass drum with a duvet and two pillows and covered the 'strike zone' with a dense rubber pad. This is louder than all the other drums, but is comparable in volume to hitting your hand on the desk.
This in itself is a 'silent' drum kit that I can happily play as hard as I like, and - crucially - feels exactly the same as my 'real' drum kit.
However, you don't have to stop there: I got some ddrum triggers, which clamp on to the rim of my drums and a Roland bass drum trigger from eBay, wired all of that into an Alesis Trigger I/O, which then connects via USB to my Mac. Then I can use any piece of software (I personally use BFD Eco) to spit out realistic drum sounds for me to play along to. This is usually referred to as an electro-acoustic kit, and is usually the reserve of hobbyists like myself.
It's worth noting that my particular set-up is perhaps a little convoluted and not without issues - if you definitely want some kind of foldback (rather than just playing an acoustically silent kit), you may want to look into a drum brain that will accept multiple jack/XLR inputs, although brains on their own can be expensive. All told, I cobbled together my setup for around £300.

The Origins of the IEA - A Pivotal Moment, July 25th 1955
By John Blundell
In late June or early July 1955 the Batchworth Press Ltd, 54 Bloomsbury St, London WC1, published The Free Convertibility of Sterling by city journalist George Winder. It was published for "The Institute of Economic Affairs" and the introduction signed by Antony Fisher, Director, went as follows:
"The issue of whether Great Britain should return to the free convertibility of sterling or continue Exchange Control is rapidly becoming a live and vital political issue. As, in the long run, the people themselves have to decide this very important question it is extremely desirable that they make their decision with a knowledge of the facts and a full understanding of the economic and moral issues involved.
For this reason the Institute of Economic Affairs has asked George Winder, well known in the City of London for his articles in the Press on economic matters, to write this booklet. It is of special interest to business men, and of value to students, but it is also, of course, of vital concern to all those who are interested in their own freedom and the freedom of their country. If England is again to take up her position as the business centre of the world, it is to sound economic principles we must return, and there is no excuse for the delay."
In what is in fact the very first IEA publication, the Institute was described as follows:
"The Institute of Economic Affairs is a non-profit making body which has for its object the education of the British public in the knowledge of Economic and Social problems and their solution.
The Institute is not necessarily in agreement with the opinions expressed in this booklet, which is published by them as a contribution to the attainment of the object of the Institute.
Further particulars may be obtained from:
The Secretary
The Institute of Economic Affairs
24 Austin Friars, London, E.C.2
Telephone: LONdon Wall 1804"
A copy found itself across the Atlantic and into the hands of Henry Hazlitt who wrote the weekly economic commentary in Newsweek . Under the headline "Abolish Exchange Control" here is what he wrote:
"Since the new Conservative victory at the polls, there is once more serious discussion of Britains abandonment of exchange control. If the government is to act, it should act now, when its victory is fresh and its prestige high, and when Labor cannot threaten to restore controls.
Recent discussion of British abandonment of exchange control has been much more realistic than the previous perfunctory discussion. It now envisages return of the pound first of all to a free or 'floating' rate. Unless Britain contemplates returning immediately to a gold standard (which seems outside the realm of realistic discussion), a transitional free market for the paper pound is the only feasible method of ending exchange control. If it is ended in Britain, it will collapse in most of the rest of the world. An enormous step will have been taken back toward that inter-convertibility of currencies and freedom of international trade that the worlds politicians have so long professed to want - and done almost everything to prevent.
For the last ten years many of us have been hoping for some clarity, courage, and common sense on this subject in Great Britain, only to be repeatedly disheartened by the confusion or acquiescence of most British discussion on the subject. But at last the tide seems to have turned. I recently received from England a booklet of 62 pages, 'The Free Convertibility of Sterling', by George Winder (Batchworth Press; London), which is the most lucid, thorough and uncompromising protest against continuation of British exchange control that I have yet read.
Winder has published something more effective than a mere polemic. He has written a sort of elementary textbook. It begins by explaining exactly what foreign exchange is, how exchange rates are arrived at, and how foreign payments are made. It leads by that means into an explanation of how great the injustice and folly of exchange control really is. He emphasizes especially two aspects:
(1) It involves price-fixing in currencies;
(2) It involves arbitrary confiscation of the overseas earnings of a countrys own citizens.
It is only by rare accident, as Winder points out, that the arbitrary price put on controlled paper currencies can correspond with the relative real values of currencies as they would be reflected in free markets. Therefore, 'where currencies are sold at controlled rates, one of the parties to every transaction will inevitably receive less than he is entitled to. Someone, in fact, is robbed.' The so called 'dollar shortage' was brought about simply by the underpricing of dollars. This underpricing of dollars (or overpricing of sterling) also had the effect of encouraging British imports and discouraging British exports. 'Sir Stafford [Cripps] over a long period, was paying our exporters 5 shillings for their dollars when in fact they were worth 7 shillings. All the time he was robbing our exporters he was pleading that Great Britain must "Export or Die".'
Perhaps worse than this economic damage is the immorality of exchange control - its complete disregard of the individuals right to dispose freely of his own overseas earnings. 'To be effective, currency laws must not only provide that people leaving a country be carefully searched, but that all overseas mail be censored All foreign currencies owned by Englishmen must be surrendered to the government. There is here far more than control; there is quite literally confiscation Of course, compensation is paid but invariably it is insufficient. If this were not so there would be no need for punishment to enforce the surrender of currencies.'
A crowning irony, I may add, is that under our own foreign-aid program we have not only been subsidizing exchange control in Europe, but we have actually insisted that as a condition of receiving our aid the recipients must discriminate against American (i.e., dollar) imports! But it does not follow that because we have been injured by Englands exchange control; England has benefited. It has retarded the expansion of its essential export markets."
Forty years later Fisher confided in me that it was that column and the fact that the monograph sold out (I think that print run was 2,000) which convinced him that he had hit on something and that in turn persuaded him to go after Ralph Harris to become (part-time initially) General Director as of January 1st 1957.

what's the difference between ところで and ちなみに ?
Are they always/often/seldom interchangeable?
Yes, as a sentence opener, they are mostly identical and definitely interchangeable.
As for details and nuances, cursory Googling yielded this:
The gist of which is: ちなみに would be introducing a new topic that is (however loosely) connected to the conversation so far, while ところで would be for absolute non-sequuntur.
However, as it also points out, ところで will often introduce a "new" subject that came to the speaker's mind because of the previous subject (and is therefore not all that disconnected).
Bottom line, they are pretty much interchangeable (but the nuance exists).
Note: make sure not to confuse ところで with its many variants (and their plentiful meanings): ところです, ところが etc.

As sales increase nationally for the American Automotive Industry, one area company is benefiting directly.
Sumitomo Electric Wiring Systems newest plant in Scottsville was opened specifically for expected future growth of the company.
In the 90's and early 2000's this building produced cable reels for cars.
When Sumitomo couldn't get automotive manufacturers to sign on, the plant was forced to become a warehouse in 2004.
Now, as the American Automotive industry continually grows, so do the companies that supply the manufacturers.
In the last four years, Sumitomo has grown by 15 percent, leaving the need for more space.
"In April of this year we started renovation of the building and we refurbished the entire building it's been reopened as our metal stamping facility," said Dep. Div. Manager Alan Bomar.
The operation was moved from the Scottsville 5 location to the revamped Building 2 location.
Workers are now able to do more jobs with a second location in Scottsville.
"We got the floor space here now to expand this operation as far as metal stamping and we've freed up floor space across town at our Scottsville 5 location to expand our injection and molding operation and assembly operations over there. So this gives us very good potential for future growth," Bomar said.
The new location brings ten jobs to Scottsville.
"It was basically a transfer of existing operations here and of course in the future as we continue to grow, we'll be adding more jobs right here in Scottsville," Bomar said.
As general manager Matt Adams says, that growth depends on American Automotive Industry.
"As we grow, we're dependent on those customers. Hopefully as we produce a high-quality product that goes into those vehicles, vehicle sales increase, we increase," Adams said.
Even as the company grows, Adams says Sumitomo wants to continue to expand in South Central Kentucky.
The ribbon cutting for the Scottsville Building 2 was held on 12-12-12.
Sumitomo currently has locations in Bowling Green, Edmonton, and Scottsville.

Binary arithmetic is both an educational basis for elementary logic and an pervasive tool for practical mechanics in managing computer systems (at a very particular level). That is the state of affairs. And the history of it is well known: Leibniz introduced it (in 1703), Claude Shannon introduced it as the mathematics behind circuit design in the 1937 (yes, neither invented the concepts, but instead introduced or popularized the notions).
Except I don't know how individuals are presented the material, if at all, in the modern school and university curricula.
In my (very possibly dated) experience, often in late elementary school (in the US system, 4th or 5th grade), a section is taught on alternate number systems (Mayan, Babylonian, binary, maybe even Roman). Basically all that is presented are some different ways of writing digits, and you learn how to write a number and that's about as far as it goes, no binary addition.
It is fairly common practice now to have computer classes in high school, but only to the extent of teaching the simplest of programming.
In the university setting, it is assumed as a matter of course that binary, and even hexadecimal, manipulation is understood, with no mention of the basics. The students deal with it with no problem at all (as far as I can tell).
My questions are:
- Does the above description match others (in detail, or in the general observation that binary is never explicitly taught)? That is, in the US secondary/tertiary system, is binary arithmetic taught at a particular stage? If not, is it considered so elementary?
- Is it taught in the school system in other countries, and if so at what stage, and with what extent?
- Additional question: Is it taught at all in university classes? (in my experience not in Discrete Math or in elementary computer engineering)

Are there any tricks to setting the correct angle for the drop bars on my road bike, when adjusting my handlebars in the stem?
Is it just a matter of personal preference or is there a general consensus on what angle you should use?
Are there any tricks to setting the correct angle for the drop bars on my road bike, when adjusting my handlebars in the stem?
Is it just a matter of personal preference or is there a general consensus on what angle you should use?
From the rules.
There are more than a few factors to consider when adjusting the angle of your drop bars. Moreover, it is important to consider that your stem length and angle, in combination with drop bar dimensions and shape, will affect your final drop bar's ideal (albeit ultimately personal) setting.
I'll use the following image for my examples below:
Consider the bar alone, as a floating object in 3-dimensional space. The alignment of the drop portion of the bar in relation to the ground provides a starting point for creating a natural alignment. Commonly, you will find the ends of the drops to extend to the tail of the bike in a parallel fashion to the floor. However, due to the wide variety of bar shapes, this method will fail to help you set up your bars. As seen in the example image, the drop portion extends towards the floor due to the "short" drop segment.
In combination with the brifter, some may prefer the connection between the bar's tops and the brifter's hood to be parallel to the ground. This creates a smooth transition between the bar and brifter, creating a comfortable surface for your hand to rest on for long periods of time. The example image shows this quite well. The hoods resting area has a smooth transition with the bar. The angle of this resting area is a matter of personal preference, but as with any adjustment, a neutral 0 degree (parallel to floor) setting will do (as in our example image).
The ideal method for adjusting the combination of bar angle and brifter angle would be to remove the bar tape and start from scratch (bare bar).
But as @DanielRHicks mentions, this all comes down to personal preference, however a good starting point always helps!
I will post my "non-specialist" way to do this setup, considering:
The method:
Of course, these steps might be adapted freely.
Hope it helps.

Got it on Friday and took it hiking to some waterfalls. I didn't have opportunity to set all the lens news and just eyeballs everything. With that being said I got better Panos than in the past. Only thing to work on is the exposure of each frame and which lens and focal length to use for a given scene.
I am also trying to come up with a packing solution for my gear in my backpack which I will use on short and long multi-day trips. Not an easy task when you have to consider weight down to ounces and keeping gear ordered and at the ready for the unexpected.
I look forward to using my m2 a lot.

- abstract
In Amartya Sen's capability approach, policy makers can focus on different levels to influence the well-being of a society. We argue that improving capability to function as well as absolute levels of functioning achievement should be complemented by attention given to improving individuals' "conversion efficiency", i.e. the efficiency with which individual resources are converted into well-being. In order to examine effects of policies on conversion efficiency and to better understand the trajectories of human well-being over time, it is necessary to measure the development of conversion efficiency. We suggest an intertemporal index of conversion efficiency estimated via a nonparametric order-m approach borrowed from the production efficiency literature to analyze this development of our welfare measure. We exemplify this approach using micro level data from the British Household Panel Survey (BHPS), tracking conversion efficiency for a set of basic functionings in Great Britain from 1991 to 2006. We find that under 30% of the British populace were efficient in their conversion of resources into functionings during the sample horizon. Moreover, age, education and self-employment increase an individual's conversion efficiency, while living in London, being disabled and being separated, divorced or widowed all decrease conversion efficiency. Being married also decreases the conversion efficiency and we find few evidence of gender disparities in conversion efficiency.

given that this is a USDA resource I really thought that it would be available online somewhere, but for the life of me I cannot find a shape file for the USDA plant hardiness zones anywhere. anyone know where there might be one?
This link is the closest I found but it doesn't seem to offer any sort of shape file download:

I have a NN5 and have taken some panoramas of mountains using the N36 detent ring. The pictures turned out very nice; however I would like to position the camera in a normal landscape position and use the telephoto of the camera so less foreground and sky are present in the pictures. By doing this I hope to maximize the resolution with the minimum of cropping of the final picture. The only way I can see of doing this is with an L-bracket. Which ones do you recommend? Are there any other additional mounting brackets that I would have to purchase?
I have a Canon S3 IS currently and plan on upgrading to a Canon D50 later on this year. It would be nice if the bracket would work on both cameras.

The annual member-guest tournament was held this past weekend at Park Hills. Despite a slightly smaller-than-average turn-out due to the date being pushed forward a couple of weeks, the tournament was a huge success according to Andy Kisner, one of the tournament organizers.
Practice rounds were played Friday along with horse-race preliminaries. On Saturday, flights were established through a round of 18 holes (8 scramble, 8 low-ball and 2 alternate shot), and later the horse-race finals were concluded. On Sunday, the finals of flight play were contested, and flight prizes and hole prizes were awarded. In addition, several delicious meals were provided to the contestants throughout the weekend.
Winners of the championship flight were the team of Eric Larrison/Brad Lunsford with a two-day total of 128. John Stineman/Darren Stineman and Dru Lammle/Ray Hitt each shot 130 to tie for 2nd.
First flight was a 3-way tie at 138 between Bill Skaggs/Tony Ginest, Jamie Hitt/Jason Conkle and Shumway/Burns.
Knotted at the top of 2nd flight with 139s were Mathes/ Mathes and Brian Meyers/ Kevin Biles. Mason/Mason took 3rd with 140.
Another tie resulted in 3rd flight: Danny Meyers/Martin and Tiesing/Shumway had 148s. Peters/Dressel shot 150 to take 3rd.
CL Meigs rode Jeff Logan to victory in the horse race. "Place" were Larrison/Lunsford and Andy Kisner/ Rod Snyder finished "show". Hole prizes were too numerous to mention. The putting contest results were deemed a matter of national security and therefore not released to the public.
Overall, the weather was spectacular, the course was in splendid shape, everyone got enough to eat, and a fine time was had by all. It's possible a member-guest tournament will be held again next year.

Is Teen Pregnancy Trendy? Teen Moms Take on Pop Culture
According to the U.S. Department of Health & Human Services, one in three teenage girls in the United States is estimated to become pregnant at least once before the age of 20. Once on the decline, the Guttmacher Institute recently reported teen pregnancies are back on the rise and remain a hot button issue, thanks in part to reality television, movies, and pop culture. Here's a look at how teen pregnancy is portrayed today. What do you think: Is the spotlight on this issue a healthy dose of reality or an unrealistic glorification?
1 of 10
Juno is a movie that tells the story of an independent-minded teenager confronting an unplanned pregnancy with her long-time admirer and friend. As the reality of pregnancy sets in, she is thrust into adulthood. The film follows Juno as she considers her options, including abortion and adoption.

I had a Table-Valued Function in SQL Server and someone from my colleagues has altered it unexpectedly. How can I restore previous version easily? Is there any way to find the previous version?
Sign up
- Anybody can ask a question
- Anybody can answer
- The best answers are voted up and rise to the top
The answer is unfortunately no. Without some form of source control or a functional back-up to go to you are kind of out of luck. As soon as you push execute on that alter statement you have changed that table/function/view/StoredProc. For future precautions you should probably have nightly back-ups make sure only the appropriate people have the user permissions required to make database changes. Also you want to make sure you have source control and are following a proper procedure for testing and deployment to make sure this does not happen in the future.
The answer – as always – is maybe :)
If you use the 'FULL' recovery model, And you have earlier full database backup,
Restoring to a different database name and file names will allow you to extract the code you were looking for and apply it to your current database without losing other (later) changes.
If you don't use the 'FULL' recovery model, Or you can't use this method for some other reason,
I suggest you take Aaron Bertrand's advice for next time (there will always be a next time...)

Ten years ago, fire destroyed the CDS Pharmacy on Fountain Square. Since then, the space has been vacant. Now, an independent senior living center is meeting opposition from some working on revitalizing downtown.
Park Row Senior Apartments is a proposed 40,000 square foot, four-story building, which includes 4,300 square feet of retail space.
Sept. 3, the Historic Preservation Commission granted a preliminary nod for the project, saying it needs a final plan before granting final approval.
Some members of the Downtown Revitalization Association are concerned that a senior living center will not fit with its plans for the square. It says noise from the square will make residents uncomfortable in their own homes. Members are also concerned that the aesthetics of the building conflict with those of the buildings around it.
The developer has already changed a few details to address those concerns.
The Historic Preservation Association will see the final plans and vote on the project at its next meeting. No date is set for that meeting.

I often see the following notations for the divergence in theoretical Physics: $$ \mathop{\text{div}} \vec x \qquad \left\langle \vec \nabla, \vec x \right\rangle \qquad \vec \nabla \cdot \vec x $$
Similarly, $\mathop{\text{curl}} \vec x$ ($\mathop{\text{rot}} \vec x$ in German) and $\vec \nabla \times \vec x$.
Is there a difference to those notations or is it just personal preference? Are there good reasons to use either of the notations? I see that $\vec \nabla \times$ is international, but "curl" and "rot" are different in each language.

I try to watch out for bland, overused adjectives and I keep adverbs to a minimum but -- I hear this phrase a lot and I'm not even sure what it means?
I think you're off to a good start by killing the adjectives and adverbs. Overuse of modifiers are the #1 reason I reject a piece of fiction writing.
Some thoughts:
"Purple prose" is overwrought metaphors, melodramatic and clichéd phrasing, and cartoonish actions.
She gasped, her snow-white breast heaving, and her emerald eyes filled with tears.
"How could you! You vile beast!" she sobbed. "I loved you and you — you used me!"
"I never loved you," he announced, cool as a glacier in January. "You were the pleasure of an hour, my dear, and that doesn't include commercial breaks."
Even as he crushed her with his dismissal, she could not help but feel an ache in her throbbing loins to watch him stride across the room like a bored panther. The masculinity rose from his tanned skin in waves, like the scent of the Drakkar Noir she had given him on his last birthday.
"I'm leaving you, Neaveh. I've found... someone else."
"No, Biff!" Her heart-shaped face contorted with grief and jealousy. "It can't be!"
"Don't act so surprised," he sniffed, pulling on his butter-soft leather jacket and slipping on his Ray-Ban sunglasses. "You know I can't be tied down to any one woman. I'm a free spirit. Gone with the wind."
"No — please — don't go — I love you!" she cried, but the door closed with the final, echoing thud of a guillotine, cutting her off from love, from light, from warmth, for her reason for existence. She crumpled to the floor, her fiery red hair spilling around her onto the carpet, and wept until she thought her heart might shatter in her chest.
In summary, don't do that.
In its broadest sense, I would define purple prose as excessive and imprecise description.
Adjectives and adverbs often qualify, as Final Draft illustrated, because a weak adjective + noun combo can be replaced by a single, stronger noun, and a weak adverb + verb combo can be replaced by single stronger verb.
This principle can be applied to almost anything, not just adjectives and adverbs. Look for vague or overly verbose phrases and try to come up with precise, tighter alternatives.
Ok, how about this excerpt from a marketing email from thriftbooks.com
Please know that this is no whim of fancy but a sincere desire of the heart that is nearly indescribable. Since the day you lovingly wrote your email address on my login page I have kept it indelibly inscribed in the heart (of my database), never to be shared, as the thought of any other having it nearly kills me with jealousy. Just know that I think of it often and desire your love in return. ...

What are good standard poses for group shots of 3 or 4 people and how can I arrange folks so that they don't just look like they're 'standing around'?
Here's a couple of suggestions:
A classic approach is to arrange people so their faces form triangles. This is aesthetically pleasing.
Example by "Harriet Bayliss Photography
another Example by ".eti"
A technique which is useful when you have lots ( > 4 or so) of people is to arrange them in subgroups, such that each sub-group works on its own, and arrange the sub-groups so that they link together somehow.
Example on Flickr here by "off the*deep*end".
Another example, also on Flickr. This one by "Sadie Collins"
Heads Together
Finally, putting the subject's heads close to each other builds interest. It makes them look connected. Here's an example where "Waechor"'s image works because the 3 girls' heads are close/touching.
Good luck. :)

In classical mechanics:
If a Lagrangian L is preserved by an infinitesimal change in the state space variables qi -> qi + εKi(q) leads to only second order change in the Lagrangian: $$ 0 = \frac{dL}{d\epsilon} = \sum_i \left( \frac{\partial L}{\partial q_i}K_i + \frac{\partial L}{\partial \dot{q}_i} \dot{K}_i \right) = \frac{d}{dt}\left(\sum_i \frac{\partial L}{\partial \dot{q}_i} K_i \right) $$
Then we get our conserved momentum because the rate of change on the right side is 0.
In quantum mechanics, an observable A commuting with the Hamiltonian [H,A] = 0, corresponds to a symmetry of the time-independent Schrodinger equation Hψ = Eψ. How to we compute the conserved quantity related to A? In particular, what is the the conserved quantity associated with the identity operator?

In addition to his duties as Head Swim Coach, Paul Mangen broadened his scope of Saint Leo Swimming in 2011 as he was named Aquatics Director at Saint Leo University. The Celina, Ohio native has an extensive coaching resume despite being just eight years removed from collegiate competition.
Mangen has guided the Saint Leo University swim programs to unprecedented heights, both academically and athletically.
The Lions went from 3-8 (0-6 in Sunshine State Conference) record in 2010 to a respectable 8-7-1 (5-6-1 in SSC) in 2011. Both programs finished the season ranked 23rd nationally, had six individuals qualify provisionally for the NCAA National Championships, two conference individual champions, (both set conference records), 26 new team records were set and four student-athletes earned Academic All-America honors.
With two years of rebuilding under his belt, Mangen looks forward to the 2011-2012 season. "We've gone through some growing pains over the past two years, but we have a solid nucleus of versatile student-athletes that understand and embrace the core values of Saint Leo University," said Mangen.
A 2003 graduate of Wheeling Jesuit University in Wheeling, WV, with a bachelor of science degree in Sport Management, Cum Laude, Mangen was a 14-time Bluegrass Mountain Conference champion and was named the 2003 swimmer of the year.
He was selected by the West Virginia Intercollegiate Athletic Association as the 2003 male scholar-athlete of the year. He was an eight time, NCAA All-America selection and also earned Academic All-America honors twice during his undergraduate career.
Mangen began his head swim coaching career at West Virginia Wesleyan College in Buckhannon, W.V. where his athletes captured one national championship, five NCAA All-America honors, set 13 school records and two conference records (WVIAC/ BGMC). In addition, his teams won 22 conference individual championships and three conference team titles (WVIAC/ BGMC).
After three years at Wesleyan, Mangen moved from Division II to Division I as the No. 1 assistant coach of Wright State (OH). He also served as swimming and diving recruiting coordinator for both programs. While at WSU, the program regained the Horizon League conference championship two of three years and added a second place finish. The athletic accomplishments while at WSU included three NCAA Division I qualifying swims, five Horizon League records, 13 school records, 29 individual conference championship swims, and four relay conference titles.
Coach Mangen resides in Dade City, FL with his wife Melissa. The couple has one son, John, a daughter, Reese, and a dog named Drake.

Did you get something from the Lodge Cookware deals?
Rats! I need to get used to checking the whole site more often. That grill press would've been great for all my bacon lovin' needs.
10 Answers answer
I highly recommend Lodge Cast Iron: made in the US and super-sturdy! However, there's no great bargains in the home.woot sale compared to amazon.
Note: all items at amazon eligible for free SuperSaver shipping:
5QT Dutch oven: amazon $34.97; woot $30.00+$5 shipping
12" skillet: amazon $20.97; woot $22.00+$5 shipping
11" round griddle: amazon $16.97; woot $16+$5 shipping (I bought at Target for $11)
10.25" skillet: amazon $16.99; woot $15.00+$5 shipping
6QT camp oven: amazon $59.88; woot $57.00+$5 shipping
square grill pan: amazon $20.99; woot $25.00+$5 shipping
The grill press that you mention is sold at at woot was selling at woot for $17+$5 shipping; it's selling at amazon for $14.97 with free SuperSaver shipping; if you want it, you should treat yourself!
If one takes advantage of the "everything you buy in one day shipped for $5" deal at woot, there are several items that are a few dollars cheaper at woot than at amazon.
@neuropsychosocial: Awesome! Thanks. I've been wanting a grill press. Maybe it'll be a Father's Day present to myself.
No, didn't get anything. I'm totally bummed (well, marginally bummed) I missed the reversible griddle. I was actually looking at getting one.
The grill press (sold out) is great. I have one in storage (along with the rest of my stuff, grrrrr), but it was awesome for bacon and grilled cheese. I'll probably have to clean rust off all of my cast iron stuff when it gets out of storage, Sigh. But I saw a tip in Lifehacker that you run it through the autocleaning cycle of the oven (if you have one) and it will bake the rust off. A quick clean, reseason, and you are off.
I know, I have to start looking at that stuff too, I missed some of the Lodge pieces and some of the Dyson attachments :(
No, not for me. We have everything that we need in cast iron already.
I thought about it but it wasn't enough off of amazon's price to make me jump in and get the few pieces my cast iron collection is still lacking.
Aka pieces I don't really need but want anyway.
@lmensor: Dyson attachments??? Dammit!! First I miss out on the griddle and the dutch oven and now I read that I failed to notice there were Dyson attachments. The day just keeps getting better :(
@lavikinga: Yes, that's exactly how I felt about it all too! I saw the Dyson attachments but didn't look at them until a day or two later and by that time, they were almost all sold out - the ones that were left I already had - and they were super cheap!! I was so mad at myself!! So I now have to make myself look at each offering just to make sure I'm not missing something!!
When I posted my original price comparison between amazon and woot, I only included the items that were still available at home.woot (except for the grill press in which @mistamoose expressed interest). As several posters are expressing regret that items sold out from home.woot (as well as to satisfy my own curiosity), I decided to post price comparisons for the three items not included in my original post:
square grill pan: amazon $18.97 plus free shipping; woot $25 plus $5 shipping (because this is so much more expensive at woot, I triple-checked the model number to ensure I was look at the same pan on amazon)
combo cooker: amazon $34.99 plus free shipping; woot $32 plus $5 shipping
pro reversible griddle: amazon $38.97 plus free shipping; woot $28 plus $5 shipping (I believe that makes the griddle the best value from the home.woot sale)
I hope that these price comparisons are useful, especially if you're kicking yourself for missing an item during the home.woot sale.

Tomorrow I am going on a three hour car ride with some friends. None of them have heard podtoid before, but all of them are gamers.
Which in your opinion is the best New Podtoid episode to introduce new readers to?
I would prefer it it have all of the things that makes Podtoid so good:
1. Jim Sterling/Jonathan Holmes misadventures.
2. Plently of off topic rants.
3. Dafoe pitches.
4. Above all it needs to be really laugh out lout funny.
Thanks! Right now I am thinking about episode 233: Anal Seige 2.

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.
