I'd like to reply to a thread from a mailman list (pytables-users) from Gmail, but I'm not sure exactly how. Do I just hit reply the manually edit the subject line and copy/paste anything relevant from the message I'm replying to? Will Mailman automatically detect that the message belongs in the same thread?

This question came from our site for computer enthusiasts and power users.
It's being worked on. Mailman bug #889635
You can help by voting for this issue.
Now, it will probably take some time for the thing to be implemented in all the mailman servers in the world.
For myself I found it easier to just create a Gmail account for all the list mail, and not using digest.
Another option if you're using Gmail is this:
Gmail strips the + symbol and the text between it and the @ symbol when routing the message.
Emails sent to
Now, when you see something in a digest message to which you care to respond, just go to the label corresponding to the individual message that would have come through and reply to the main thread you care about for proper message threading!
Your mail filter will probably need to look something like this:
You'll need to replace "listname" and "example.com" above with the name of the list and the mailing domain involved with the mailman mailing list.

Get down and dirty in the garden
By Susan Hoysagk
gardening, garden design, gardening with disabilities, wheelchair, scooter, walker, garden path, ramps, raised bed, container gardening, lettuce, repurpose, Susan Hoysagk
Susan Hoysagk is a seasoned nurse who, when not busy "nursing it up," can be found gardening, experimental cooking with fresh organic herbs and veggies from her garden, reading, writing and rearranging her yarn stash.
"There are many tired gardeners but I've seldom met old gardeners. I know many elderly gardeners but the majority are young at heart. Gardening simply does not allow one to be mentally old, because too many hopes and dreams are yet to be realized. The one absolute of gardeners is faith. Regardless of how bad past gardens have been, every gardener believes that next year's will be better. It is easy to age when there is nothing to believe in, nothing to hope for; gardeners, however, simply refuse to grow up." ~ Allan Armitage
If you don't know who Allan is, he is the professor of horticulture at the University of Georgia—the one who wears a Tilley hat. Dr. Armitage is also a researcher, world traveler, writer, speaker, recipient of many awards, and well, just an all-around amazing guy. I love this quote of his because in it he embodies what I think is the true spirit of gardeners: perpetually hopeful, absolutely faithful, and forever a child of the land. Even if that land is a raised bed or potted bowl of lettuces.
I love lettuce. Versatile, beautiful, forgiving, and there are sooooo many varieties with all their delicious shades of green with rebels of purple, red, deep maroon or even spotted like my old Austrian heirloom romaine Forellenschluss (speckled like a trout). This old-timer has beautiful green buttery leaves with wine-red splotches you will never forget. Best of all, it will grow in a raised bed, a garden box or a pot. In fact, I rarely plant my lettuce "on the ground" here at the Oregon coast because it stays cleaner in the raised beds and I have an easier time abolishing the slugs that are also big fans of my green jewels. Do remember lettuce likes cool weather. There are some varieties slower to bolt (go to seed) but these still will not like it if you stick them in the hot sun your tomatoes love to bask in. Raised beds can be placed most anywhere and pots can be moved as desired. Again, assess what like you eat or love to smell and look at and get planning!

Before I launch full into raised bed and container gardening, I want to back up a little. In my last blog I was discussing garden design. To the topic of paths I want to add steps and ramps. Steps should have a depth of at least four inches with risers that are no higher than that. Railings of a nice smooth wood should accompany them (and ramps as well), placing them 30 to 34 inches high. Avoid metal as it gets hot and can be slippery when wet. If ramps are going to be added they should be gradual with a gentle rise of no more than one foot per 20 feet in length (a 5 percent grade) so wheelchair and electric scooters or chairs can easily negotiate them. This comes under the don't-want-to-get-stuck-in-the-back-forty or pitched-out-onto-the-ground categories.
Now, back to raised planting beds. These can be any height that is comfortable for the gardener and should not be any wider than four to five feet (some feel six is okay; I prefer four feet so I am only reaching two feet to the center of the bed—less strain on the upper back and shoulders). If your bed is only accessible from one side, keeping the width to no more than 30 inches is desirable. Raising beds can reduce lower back strain as well as putting less stress on hips, knees and ankles. Three-feet-high beds will allow a person who cannot bend down or is using a walker to easily garden without bending. I have a wide ledge for some of mine, which makes a nice seat to work from or take a rest on. For wheelchair users the elevation of the beds is important as well as knee clearance heights (such as 20, 24 and 27 inches). These allow the gardener to roll under the planter and access its interior. Snazzy!
Repurposed wood makes an attractive and functional raised bed garden that can be constructed to fit the gardener's physical needs. Photo By Vilseskogen/Courtesy Flickr.
Pots for plants come in all sizes, shapes, materials, colors and heights. These are great for balcony or patio gardeners and for those who have a larger yard but wish to have certain herbs, veggies or flowers closer to the back door. Pots can be placed on rolling stands and moved as the sun changes its position in the sky over summer. They can be set on stands of various heights to accommodate wheelchair or scooter users. You can paint them all one color for homogeneity or slather them with a rainbow of colors to suit your desires. Your garden experience is only as far away as your imagination and that little kid inside you!

Which breeds of dog are safe to have around when raising a small child?
Any breed of dog can be perfectly safe or extremely dangerous. You have to test out the dog for aggressive behavior and educate your toddler on appropriate dog handling.
For example, I stress to my kids that they should not bother the dog while she's eating. At the same time, our dog doesn't have any food issues -- they can stick their hands in her dish and not get bit or mauled.
We researched this very carefully having had a border collie prior to having children. While our collie was a lovely dog we were absolutely certain it was not a good breed to combine with small children.
Instead we acquired a Large Munsterlander and she has proved a very safe and reliable type, very tolerant of infant roughness and wholly unaggressive.
My dog is a lab/chow mix, and is absolutely fantastic with children. The only time he's snapped at (and didn't actually connect with) either child is when my son was bending his (the dogs) penis into a pretzel shape. My response was, of course, "Don't do that to the dog."
But a lot of that could be training, because from a very young age I've had the dog learn to settle and be handled by me so I could check his paws for cuts or his ears for ticks. I also trained him to start and stop eating on command and to tolerate having his food taken away. So he has learned to be very docile.
So probably you want to pick a dog breed that is considered very trainable and has an activity level that matches your lifestyle. Then make sure that the dog receives a great deal of obedience training, either from a professional or with professional help.
All of that said, I'm a fan of retrievers, they're smart, easy to train, and don't have a lot of prey drive (at least, not compared to terrier breeds).
The wagandco.com website offers a rating for child friendliness for each breed. It might help.
Any dog can be dangerous if the training isn't good. Whether a dog is bred to be aggressive or not is of secondary relevance to me than whether the dog has had proper discipline that establishes you and your family members as alpha over the dog. If you're going to get a big, powerful breed without recognizing the potential for aggression, and therefore don't exercise the dog and give it firm discipline, then of course that inbred aggression will show. But if you get a teacup poodle and treat it like a princess and let it get its way all the time, of course it's going to become territorial and bite other people, even children.
I've been attacked by a very poorly-trained Mastiff, and have seen a friendly but overly eager German Shepherd bowl over an 80-pound child in her excitement to get out the door. That said, someone in my family received the nastiest dog bite she'd ever had thanks to a 3-pound Chihuahua. My cousins own a small poodle mix who will sooner bite your head off than look at you simply because they let the dog be alpha over them.
A rule of thumb that I've heard is "for small children, big dogs". The reasoning is that big dogs will be unconcerned by young children and won't feel threatened, and can take a lot of abuse from an active toddler. Smaller dogs will be more likely to be confrontational with kids.
That said, you need to do your research very carefully, and you have to get to know the specific animal. All dogs are different and have different personalities, so safety should be your #1 concern.
It's not about the breed; it's about the owner.
My husband grew up with pitbulls and was very rough and tumble with them. I cringe listening to the potential disasters that never happened. Conversely, people get bitten by labs too.
I recommend you choose a dog that suits your lifestyle. Then, learn how to be good owners and teach your children how to be respectful and careful around animals.
I have had a dog that was raised with out children around, and when My and my Estranged Wife moved in together he was unable to adjust to having a 2 year old around 24x7. He had been taught that dog's teeth never touch human flesh so he never bit or attacked my daughter, but he did start to become more aggressive towards them.
This was for a couple of reasons. My Estranged Wife never established she's alpha to him, and she didnt properly teach our daughter how to act towards him. He was growling at her and I had to give him up.
Regardless how a dog is raised you must constatnly monitor their behavior around the children and never let the dog think it's ok to snap or growl at the child. You must also teach your child how to act towards a pet. It's a two way street.
When my son (at the time 1.5 years old) was intoduced to my mom's Pomerianians, I watched him for a long time to make sure he would not mis treat them and they would respond well to him.
The main point I'm making here. ANY dog can be good with kids, it's dependent on their training, but you also must make sure you child knows how to respond to the dog.
It depends more on the individual dog and child than the dog's breed.
With that said, I'd recommend a large breed dog. Because they're so big, most large breeds have been selected for extremely gentle behaviour, while smaller breeds can sometimes be overly dominant, defensive and/or aggressive. A nippy chihuahua may not be a big deal for an adult, but a child will find them a lot more threatening. Conversely, a child is also more likely to unintentionally hurt a small breed dog. (Even a cat is better off, since they are more agile and can climb out of reach.)
The next issue is whether to get an adult or a puppy. A puppy will be more excitable and hyperactive, and while most large breed puppies aren't aggressive, they don't necessarily know their own strength and could knock a child over. So if you get a puppy, you'll have to put a bunch of work into teaching a solid sit-stay sequence, and making sure the puppy always sits while greeting the child.
With an adult, you have less control over their temperament, since they spent their formative early months somewhere else. Some adult rescues can be emotionally unstable due to past negative experiences. But if the dog meets your child and acts calm and gentle and happy with them, then they'll probably act the same way in your home.
On your child's side, supervise interactions at first and teach your child how to pet gently instead of grabbing or poking or pulling. Also show the kid how to play with the dog using a dog toy, so they keep the dog's excitement directed at the toy instead of their own body.
Most important, whatever kind of dog you get, is that you supervise early interactions and be ready to teach both child and dog how to treat each other.

I'm looking for, or hoping to inspire the creation of, a list of conventional names for categories that come up often.
For example, we have the terminal category $\fbox{$\bullet$}$, a nice name. I've heard this category $\fbox{$\bullet\to\bullet$}$ called the free arrow category. That's fine by me. What about the category with one object $x$ and an one arrow $p^n\colon x\to x$ for each natural number $n$ (and the obvious composition law)? It's hard to draw it without a package; here's my best attempt: $\fbox{$\bullet\circlearrowleft$}$. I'd like to call this the free loop category. But is that standard?
The categories $[n]$ for $n\in\mathbb{N}$ might be drawn $\fbox{$\bullet^0\to\bullet^1\to\cdots\bullet^n$}$. I might call this the length-$n$ chain category. What about $\fbox{$\bullet\rightrightarrows\bullet$}$? I might call this the parallel arrows category. Would one know what I meant by the two equalized arrows category or the two coequalized arrows category? Hint: they each have three objects and four non-identity morphisms. But what if I didn't want a certain commutative diagram to hold there, i.e. I wanted to name the related five-morphism categories?
The point I hope is clear. Does anyone know of a definitive list of names for important diagram categories?

Hale Notches Decision, Trojans Fall at No. 4 NewberryFebruary 20, 2014
NEWBERRY, S.C. – Sophomore Zak Hale posted Anderson University wrestling's lone victory of the evening, as the Trojans fell to nationally-ranked Newberry 52-3 Thursday evening at Eleazer Arena.
Hale, who entered the dual with 17-4 record, continued his impressive run this season with an 8-4 decision over Newberry's Trung Duong at 133. Hale closes the dual slate with 18 wins with five pins, a technical fall and five major decisions for the campaign.
Redshirt senior Cory Monteforte fought hard throughout his bout, but came up short in the end, falling to Travis Laxton at 125. Monteforte falls just shy of becoming the third Trojan this season to record double digit wins, dropping to 9-13 for the season.
"There were no surprises tonight. Newberry is exactly who we thought they were when you wrestle against a top five team," Anderson head coach Dock Kelly said. "This was a disappointing conclusion to out dual meet season. Our sole focus is on the regional qualifying tournament and we look forward to the opportunity to qualify and compete at the national tournament."
Anderson's focus now shifts to the regional qualifier, beginning on Feb. 28 in Tiffin, Ohio. The qualifier will welcome 15 teams from Region II to the two-day event as the Trojans carried two wrestlers on their current roster that were ranked in the region's top-8 in the latest Basford Rankings.

I have begun my weekly TV programmes again broadcast via New Channel TV to the Middle East and other countries via satellite after a long hiatus. For my first programme back, I speak with the brilliant Hamid Taqvaee on the 99% movement. Here it is:
A TV International interview with Hamid Taqvaee on the 99% movement broadcast on 20 October 2011.
Maryam Namazie: The world-wide 99% protests have been amazing to see. We keep hearing, though, that it has to do with greed. Will things improve if there is less greed?
Hamid Taqvaee: Greed is what people refer to because that is what they are told. When the financial crisis began, mainstream media and politicians spoke of greed as if there were a bunch of greedy executives, bankers and major stockholders on Wall Street who had created the entire problem. That was the image people were given – that there may be something wrong with the system that needed modification but the real problem was greed and greedy people. Obviously, greed is not the reason behind the situation we find ourselves. I mean, even if you say it is greed, the system needs greed. In reality, the problem we faced has been created not by greedy people but by a greedy system. And if you want the system to work you need greed and that greed is personified in bankers and other capitalists. The problem is the system, however, not some greedy people. [Read more…]

RILEY COUNTY, Kan. (WIBW) -- A Fort Riley soldier has been arraigned on charges of rape and child molestation stemming of an alleged incident with a child.
Specialist George Ferenz was arrested in October on one count of Rape, two counts of Aggravated Criminal Sodomy and two counts of Aggravated Indecent Liberties with a Child.
The charges stem from an incident on October 21, 2012 in Riley County. Ferenz is alleged to have had sexual intercourse with a child under the age of 14. He is also accused of fondling and having oral sex with the child.
On Tuesday, January 22, 2013, Ferenz entered not guilty pleas to all of his charges and was arraigned in Riley County District Court.
His jury trial is set for April 23-25, 2013 at the Riley County courthouse.
According to the 1st Infantry Division's Public Affairs Office, at the time of his arrest, Ferenz was listed as a tank crewman assigned to the 2nd Battalion, 34th Armor Regiment, 1st Armor Brigade Combat Team with the Big Red One at Fort Riley.

Crimson Couch training to begin
Published: Sunday, September 15, 2013 at 11:00 p.m.
Last Modified: Sunday, September 15, 2013 at 11:34 p.m.
University of Alabama employees, students and families will begin training Tuesday for the the fourth annual Crimson Couch to 5K walk/run.
The event, organized by the University of Alabama's Office of Health Promotion and Wellness, is the product of a free optional nine-week program for UA employees and their spouses.
The run, which begins at 2 p.m. Nov. 17 at the UA Student Rec Center Outdoor Pool Complex, is open to the community for a pre-
registration fee of $10, or an on-site registration fee of $15. UA employees who participate in the nine-week training program are granted free access to the event and are welcome to bring their children younger than 18 years old for free.
"Our goal is to get UA faculty and staff more involved, active and healthier," said Kay White, UA coordinator for the Office of Health Promotion and Wellness.
The nine-week program includes three different training programs for UA employees and their spouses: walkers, beginning runners and intermediate runners. Group training starts Tuesday and runs through Nov. 14. Groups meet Tuesdays and Thursdays at three optional times, 6 a.m., noon and 5:15 p.m.
The strictly cardio sessions start off as brief, usually 20 minutes long, but gradually increase in length as time goes on, White said.
"It's designed to get you from the couch to completing a 5K," White said.
The event also offers a 10K for runners who want a challenge, White said.
Before the walk/run there will be a handful of children's activities including face-painting, tumble mats, an obstacle course and a 50-yard dash. Big Al will also make an appearance for photo opportunities.
Many UA employees come to this event year after year and a large number of faculty and staff members use the event as an inspiration to carry on an active and healthy lifestyle, White said.
UA employees interested in the nine-week training program for the 5K or 10K can register for free online at www.wellness.ua.edu. Registration for the Crimson Couch to 5K and 10K will not be available until mid-October, White said.

Letter to the Bridgeport Residents I am writing this letter to have an opportunity to share what is in my heart with the residents of Bridgepor....
So why do you try and tell people to take down political signs for your opponents?? You and your little regime's time is up. You all are on your way out.

Your lies and your family are clear in your intentions. Despair at people that have to twist the truth and out right lie will lose in the end. Your time is up. The future of Bridgeport will be way better when you step aside.

Why would the mayor step aside? Isn't he a successful business man who is capable of running a small town? The drama with this election is getting old while our town is top news with the violence and drugs!! Why don't we hear how to deal with this as a community? How are those elected going to "give the people the power"? I thought we already had it? We could be a great community as we have always been!! Cooperation, dedication, and respect could be a start!

Mayor, I can agree with most parts of your letter. However I do find exception to this- "I am not the blame for Smith, Lenz, Husarik, and Lyle's lack of progress in the last four years. They have controlled the council votes." Since I moved to the back to the area this year, my limited research has found Lyle was elected in 2011. The other three were elected in 2009. While I can not confirm with my limited research if Lyle was on council in 2010 and 2011, the other three were on council during those years. If research shows she was not on council during those two years, how can you assert the lack of progress from those four in the last four years? Research would only show the lack of progress for the last two years.

How sweet the mayor is attempting to "share his heart". That's funny because I've yet to meet him or one of his family members or friends who have a heart. I think a power hungry mind is more like it. The more amusing factor of this letter is that he didnt even take the time to write it. His daughter, Shirleann Murad, and granddaughter, Miki Clegg (who conveniently is running for council) control the Mayor as if he were a puppet. They write their beliefs and sign his name. The women use employees within their family owned business to type their thoughts and send to local newspapers. The family has burnt bridges with every relationship they have ever come across. The family runs on power and drama, when they've sucked a person dry they move on to the next. If someone disagrees with them they simply slap a "law suit" in people's faces. Ironically enough, look how many have been slapped in their own, (for their lack of ability to follow the law). Good news is, karma c

Why can't I select both of these?
Why can't I select both of these?
I don't know exactly why the interface is limited and possibly counterintuitive like this. I'm ready to chalk it up to reducing complexity and adding sane defaults. For a desktop user, that often makes sense. However, if you are using a server, you wouldn't be using this method, and so I'll add some info on alternatives that provide more flexibility, at the expense of complexity. They also provide you (given a little time to familiarize yourself with them) a clearer view of exactly what actions will take place.
On the server side, the standard way to configure this is probably to use unattended-upgrades. This might be the best way to do this on the desktop as well.
Here's a decent guide on this (and some other Ubuntu methods): https://help.ubuntu.com/community/AutomaticSecurityUpdates
Note that this guide does not discourage using the Gnome Update Manager, which is GUI you are referring to. This is a user-editable wiki page, so I'm chalking this up to conflating server and desktop tools. (Though it is of course possible to install, e.g., Gnome on a server, too.)
Another method mentioned is cron. Cron has the advantage of being pretty transparent in what it does, and giving you great control, as it is typically hand-configured. This unfortunately also has the consequence of maintainability being limited to whatever system you create yourself.
An older but still available method is to use cron-apt. I've used this on Debian boxes, and it works on Ubuntu as well. I think the documentation is horrible, however.
cron-apt can optionally email status and updates. Here's an example:
A short but helpful page on cron-apt can be found on the TurnKey Linux Automatic Security Updates page. The descriptions work here because TurnKLey Linux is based on Ubuntu. Their cron-apt usage updates more aggressively, about which they have this to say:

"The merger will better serve our customers around the world in the tire industry as well as in the warehousing, distribution, food and beverage markets, which are the focus areas of the combined group's business activities," said Markku Vesa, managing director and president, Cimcorp. "Both Cimcorp and RMT Robotics remain dedicated to providing best-of-breed integrated solutions and will continue to support current product lines, warranties and service contracts."
"We are delighted with this agreement, which offers our customers significant international presence and provides excellent competitive tools for sustainable long-term growth," said Doug Pickard, founder and president of RMT Robotics.

The combined total number of employees is over 200, with the majority working in design, development and systems as well as project engineering. The Canadian personnel represent 25% of the total figure.

Local businesses are gathering to support the family of Lane Goodwin.
There will be a yard sale at Elite Auto Repair Center on Louisville Rd beginning at 9 a.m. tomorrow to benefit he and Austin Pellett, a local child in need of a liver transplant.
80 percent of the proceeds will go to Lane's family, and 20 percent to Austin Pellett's.
Organizers say they would want the community to support their daughter if she was in need.
"She weighed 14 ounces when she was born, and she's 16 now. She's been in the hospital, and if something ever happened to her, we'd want the community to come together for her, so it's like a pay it forward type thing," said Kristie Miller.
The Millers say any business that wants to participate can set up a table, as long as they donate at least 20 percent of their proceeds.
They're still accepting yard sale donations at Elite Auto Repair Center, and selling discount cards and t-shirts to benefit Austin.
For more information go to http://www.facebook.com/hellosoky or call Elite auto Repair at (270) 842-4436.

Dear Editor,
I really don't want to sound like a poor loser, but I am. As is the whole United States.
I am working now, but as a coal miner, I know the end is near. The people of America voted for four more years of reckless spending, heavy taxation and high unemployment.
All I can figure is Romney voters must all had to work that day while Obama voters all had that day off and all other day's off.
Also, all other Obama voters are hoping for four more years on the couch with my tax money ending up in their mail box.
Sorry to break your bubble, but the end is near for you, also.
All the Seniors who were worried about Medicare and Social Security, I must say, I'm sorry, Mr. Obama's Health Care already took most of that right out from under your stupid noses.
We will all end up like sheep and be swallowed up by Obama Nation very soon.
"God Bless America"

How to Paint Trim
Tape the edges of the wall where it meets the trim.
Use blue painter's tape to tape the edges of the wall where they meet the edges of the trim. (If you just taped and primed the trim, you can skip this step.)
Stir the paint thoroughly with a stir stick. Never use paint until after you stir it. You'll get bubbles and the color will be uneven.

The 11 Most Unintentionally Poignant Drunk Celebrity Videos
#6. "Any publicity is good publicity."
The Clip:
Paula Abdul, apparenlty still up and drunk from the night before, spends an excruciatingly awkard 3 minutes with a pair of perky morning show hosts.
Right at the top, Abdul nearly falls off her stool, makes a cheesy joke, then snort-laughs at it as if she just figured out a punch line someone laid on her at the bar last night. In a classic case of Freudian projection, she then claims "it's a wild party" in the studio. No, Paula, the two stern women in business suits are not having a wild party. You, who must occasionally look off camera just to focus your vision, are having a wild party.
What Makes It Poignant:
Yes, American Idol fans, this is where the spunk comes from. It appears that Paula's wacky, effervescent encouragements are fueled by strawberry daiquiris and who knows what else. Is there anything sadder than chemical spunk?
Come on. Deep down, you already knew. Do you think anyone could really muster enthusiasm about executive producing the Bratz movie sober?
#5. "I wanna kiss you. I couldn't care less about the team struggling."
The Clip:
Legendary Jets quarterback Joe Namath puts together some of the longest sentences ever drunkenly rambled to a sidelines' reporter.
You can see the train heading for the cliff as soon as this one starts. Namath is slurring every word and stumbles around looking for the end of each sentence. Strangely, after a full minute of a Namath struggling not to say anything ridiculous, the reporter has a clear chance to send it back to the booth and allow Joe to pass out peacefully on the sideline. But, no, the reporter presses on, and pays for it.
What Makes It Poignant:
Joe Namath is a man who devoted his youth to a brutal sport. He's a man who has ravaged his body for the sake of a team, a legacy, a dynasty, and yes, many millions of dollars. You're telling us that with a few stadium beers in him, he's willing to throw that all away for some shorthaired, puffy-coated sports reporter? Say it ain't so, Joe. At least Suzy had the decency to withstand his advances; Lord knows few of us could have done the same.
#4. "I would like it better if you did the show topless ..."
The Clip:
Ben Affleck shows off his acting abilities by improvising the lead up to a violent rape.
First of all, if that passes for an interview in Montreal, they must know jack shit about upcoming movies. As for highlights, we hate to draw any positive attention to Affleck's actions, but we have to note that his Pepe Le Pew impression is pretty dead on, considering that Le Pew was also an aggressive sexual predator.
What Makes It Poignant:
If you take away the fact that this is Ben Affleck, on TV absolutely nothing distinguishes him from that guy at your dorm party who scares the chicks off within the first 20 minutes. He takes every possible opportunity to slyly return the conversation to the woman's rack and grasps her firmly throughout.
If you really want to get chills, check out 4:50 when the background music ends and a producer restarts it a few seconds later. We presume it's to avoid feeling like he was filming an amateur porno.
#3. "There's a daily cash price of $1,000 and ... FUCK!"
The Clip:
Jeopardy! host Alex Trebek--with mustache--attempts to record some spots for the show and ends up repeatedly shouting this four-letter expletive.
What is fuck, Alex? You've got to love that we see him progress from drinking a can of beer to drinking from what looks to be a crystal goblet of vodka. Way to roll like a gangsta, Trebek. Also, the little frown he gives after saying "son of a bitch" at 0:22 reminds us of Will Ferrell at his best.
What Makes It Poignant:
The emotional impact of this clip can only be truly appreciated by those of us with parents who crowded around the TV every night during dinner to shout questions at the screen. Oh, mighty Lord of all trivia, how far you have fallen. We used to think you had all the answers; now you just remind us of our dads, cursing belligerently and presumably referring to your testicles as "The Daily Double."
#2. "She's a public school bitch!"
The Clip:
Paris and Nikki Hilton ask someone at a party to videotape them, and then seem to immediately forget that someone is videotaping them.
The scandalous part of the tape comes around 2:50 when Paris states that she and her sister are "like two n*****s." But for our money, the best moment is the appearance at 1:45 of "sketchy gay dude" Todd, the Toddster, who dances like someone shooing away a stray cat and wears a hat simply emblazoned "PONY."
About 4 minutes in, if you can tolerate it that long, you'll hear the ultimate Hilton insult: "public school bitch."
What Makes It Poignant:
We're not trying to excuse her behavior, but it's hard to take Paris to task when you imagine how warped her view of life must be. Literally everyone she knows is in some way trying to "be down." Mere moments before her faux pas, the cameraman uses the phrases "Bust a move!" and "Daaaaaamn!"
The Clip:
The Hoff devours a tasty burger in what looks like a terrible cross between a People magazine photo shoot and the tortoise enclosure at the zoo. Best tortoise action hits at 0:23. Watch the pickle.
There is a clear winner in this clip, and it occurs at 0:56, when Hasselhoff's daughter asks him to promise that he won't drink any alcohol that night, and he responds with a single mumbled word: "Gin!" Although to be fair, Hasselhoff spends a lot of time in Austria, where gin isn't even considered an alcohol.
What Makes It Poignant:
If we have to explain why a video of a shirtless man ignoring his daughter's pleas for him to stop drinking is poignant, we're guessing you've probably spent quite a few shirtless evenings on the floor, picking through an exploded hamburger.
The eloquent press release they read that's supposedly from Hasselhoff (almost certainly written by a publicist) gives a hint of just how insulated from any kind of real help celebrities are. That fact really weighed on us around the 103rd time we watched the video.

I recently had gone for an eye test. The doctor told that short sightedness/ far sightedness is caused due to shrinking or expanding of the eye.
One thing i forgot o ask him was what causes that shrinking/expanding.
Can anyone explain it to me?
I recently had gone for an eye test. The doctor told that short sightedness/ far sightedness is caused due to shrinking or expanding of the eye.
The physical shape of the eye and lens are as @RoryM points out, the reason we become near/farsighted.
The most common cause of farsightedness is pretty well known. The lens of the eye allows us to focus as a ring of muscles pulls outward and flattens the lens, allowing it to focus on closer objects. As we get older the lens of the eye becomes stiffer and inflexible, which means that the muscles that pull on the lens can't flatten it as easily and focusing on nearby objects becomes difficult or impossible. This is why we need to get bifocals or reading glasses as we are older.
The reasons for nearsightedness are 'natural changes in the shape of the eye'.
Mentioned briefly in the WebMD link above is that close work (e.g. reading, web surfing, phone videos, reading and reading, etc) tends to cause nearsightedness.
25% of adults in the US and 40% of adults in Asia are myopic and it does look as if there is a strong genetic component to myopia. If neither parents have myopia, the incidence is only about 7%.
I'm probably going to get ding-ed for this, but I am going to offer alternative explanation, which makes good scientific sense to me, so hear me out.
This seems like a poor adaptive phenotype for humans who are otherwise so optimized for survival. Why would we naturally lose our ability so young (often before the fifth grade)? So many people who have myopia are so impaired that they can't find their way around their own house (or legally drive) without glasses/contacts/corrective surgery.
This is supported by studies which show that non industrial societies have almost no natural myopia compared to industrialized ones. This is just one example reference, not a survey of all evidence.
Physiologically the explanation for myopia is this: in the relaxed state, the eye is focused at the horizon (infinity). If one habitually focuses on a book or screen within 1-2 feet from your face, the muscles might well adapt to a set point that is closer than infinity. This would make myopia an adaptive response to modern life.
Eye exercises are proposed as a way to correct myopia. This is a bit controversial - some say they help, others say they do not. I would not be surprised that myopia developed in youth (8-15 y.o.) when the eye and body are developing can't be overcome by eye exercises when you are 25-30, but the jury is still out.
There are enough free descriptions of eye exercises out there that you don't really need to pay for them. Getting young students outside to look around once in a while doesn't sound like a bad idea either, given this.
If you are going to down vote or complain, I would appreciate it if you please cite counter reasoning other than 'this is not a popular explanation'.

I read lots of web pages articles (magazines, blogs, wikis, forums).
Keeping the interesting ones stored in a single location have become a big problem. Also, looking for important information that I remember that I read some day but can't locate is also a problem.
So, I need an application (web or desktop-Windows), or a solution that is able to:
- Store an page link quickly using an browser extension (in case of a web app) to save the page.
- Tag each page.
- Search page content.
- Search pages by tag.
- Optionally: Save a snapshot of the web page.
For personal reasons I don't want to use Joliprint, Evernote or SpringPad. Can anyone give any advice?

I'm slowly getting the hang of stitching and patching the nadir in my panoramas but have found that my current ball head is on the large side. I would prefer to get something a little smaller so that I don't have to patch such a large area. I was looking at the Giottos MH-1004 (http://www.adorama.com/GTBHMI.html). I'm using a NN SPH-1j, D50, Nikkor 10.5. Maximum load is rated for 5lbs which should be enough.
I typically tip the camera down 10¬? to make the nadir smaller, but there's still too much of the ball head in the picture. For those of you using ball heads, which one are you using?

For instance, what makes MD4 a bad choice for an HMAC? In this case I am asking about MD4 because its less than ideal. I know that a preimage attack can be used to undermine the system, but why? What is the attacker calculating?
Actually, HMAC might still be secure for a hash function that is broken (with respect to the requirements of a cryptographic hash function, such as primary preimage resistance, secondary preimage resistance and collision resistance), but it must not be too badly broken. If you read the original paper, you see that the authors assume things such as the hash function being "weakly collision resistant", or more precisely that the inner hash function is collision resistant only to adversaries that see the hash value only after it being hashed again with a different secret key.
Also, since HMAC, contrary to NMAC, doesn't use two independent keys, but a single key that is combined with two different pads using XOR, additional assumption about the pseudo randomness of the hash function are made.
I believe MD4 does not even meet these weaker assumptions, and that is why HMAC-MD4 is considered to be broken, while e.g. HMAC-MD5 is not (yet).

This lesson is going to be on "how to draw the Black Veil Brides star" or logo. The star looks a lot like a nautical star surrounded by a bunch of clouds. Drawing this logo should be simple, but if you are new to drawing you might want to grab a ruler to make the lines of the star straight. Anyways, drawing the Black Veil Brides star is simple and fun especially of you are a fan of the band. Enjoy folks and remember, there is more coming your way.

Let $G$ be a compact Lie group and $T$ a maximal torus of $G$. Then the flag manifold $G/T$ is a complex manifold and a symplectic manifold. One way to see the symplectic structure is to view $G/T$ as the co-adjoint orbit of a generic element $F_0 \in Lie(T)^*$. Then the symplectic structure is given by $$ \omega_F(X^+_F, Y^+_F) = F([X,Y]), $$ where $X^+,Y^+$ are the fundamental vector fields corresponding to $X,Y \in Lie(G)$ and $F \in Orbit(F_0)$.
All the references I've seen get the complex structure on $G/T$ by showing it is isomorphic to $G^{\mathbb C}/B$ where $G^{\mathbb C}$ is the complexification of $G$ and $B$ is a Borel subalgebra.
My question is if there is a way to get the complex structure explicitly in terms of the Lie algebras of $G$ and $T$, in a similar vein to how I defined the symplectic structure.

Have it, Love it! Gorgeous Picture!
So, how is this different than the one for sale over at Tech Woot:
I can see that the other one is $10 cheaper and comes with an HDMI cable, but other than that and the model number it appears to be identical in features and even in size and weight. They even have the same picture.
$80 refurbed at wallyworld. 4/5 stars in their reviews. Main complaint seems to be internet connectivity and app trouble, but happy owners said the picture is phenomenal.
Hmmm - was considering it until saw the reviews over at amazon. You might want to take a peek there prior to buying...
Do not walk away.... RUN RUN AWAY!!! I have a BD5700, which is a replacement of two other replacments of bad product. No refund was ever even considered. I am stuck with a sub-par streaming device, that also take a long time to load a blu-ray disc. I will NEVER buy any other Samsung product in any... ANY product category.
I bought one of these for my dad to play ripped movies/tv shows from a USB HD and it works great. The wireless card and netflix apps are basically useless though.
I have an older Samsung Blu-ray player. It has a fixed Netflix interface instead of Samsung's "apps"... and it works fine.
Seems like the newer "app" approach is buggy, though, so I am shying away from this.
I have (had) the Samsung bd-e5900, which appears to be extremely similar to this model, and ultimately had to return it. The picture quality, both 2D and 3D, was excellent. I tried playing movies from a USB drive and they all played without issue as well.
The connectivity features, however, were disappointing. My player was ~25 feet from the router, and it was impossible to make it more than 5 minutes through a Netflix program without buffering or an error. I was also very disappointed with the player interface. There was a significant lag (roughly one second) from hitting any buttons. Scrolling around the apps took long, and attempting to use the built-in browser was rendered useless, because it would take over a minute just to type in a URL.
If you just want a nice playing 3D blu-ray player, this might work for you, but if you're interested in any features beyond playing discs, I'd probably look elsewhere.

"The Devil is not as black as he is painted." -― Dante Alighieri, The Divine Comedy
Mr. Stephen Girard (1750-1831):
Mariner and Merchant Mogul.
College Founder.
Primary Financier for the War of 1812 with a historical collections museum erected in his honor.
A Frenchman by birth and naturalized in Philadelphia, Pennsylvania who, before the turn of the 18th century, became one of the wealthiest men in the United States of America. To quote Stephen Girard as being 'a man of power' would prove a severe understatement. However, despite his high profile, much remains unknown about the life of his spouse, Mrs. Mary Girard.
All the more shrouded in speculation and myth is her being admitted into Pennsylvania Hospital in 1790 by Mr. Girard himself.
Do you dare wade your way through the murky waters of this woman's journey for whom history books hold no volumes and whose fate was irrevocably sealed? Was Mary Girard truly mad, or did her husband merely exercise his ability to possess--quite literally--everything money can buy?
Matt Story rings in the new year with THE INSANITY OF MARY GIRARD: A DREAM IN ONE ACT as his directorial debut in collaboration with Theatre Louisiane, Inc and a collective of independent theatre artists and designers determined to unveil a subterranean, subconsciously spooky world unlike New Orleans audiences have ever seen! Learn the depths of stigma and ill-practice surrounding mental illness in the 18th century, the deceptions of memory and imagination, and the will of the human spirit to overcome, even before the gaping mouth of Hell itself.

Harmonious Development: Standardizing The Deployment Process via Vagrant and Puppet [October 4, 2012]
Want to learn more about Acquia's products, services, and happenings in the Drupal Community? Visit our site: http://bit.ly/yLaHO5.
The LAMP stack has evolved considerably as of late. It has become more powerful, flexible, and endlessly configurable. Add to that a variety of powerful plugins including debugging and profiling tools (XDebug, XHProf, DBG, etc), performance optimization technologies (memcache, apc, Zend Optimizer, XCache, Varnish, etc), search technologies (ApacheSolr, ElasticSearch) and database engines (MySql, Percona variants, CouchDB, MongoDB), and you get a very powerful web platform. You are also likely to end up with a configuration nightmare where a single errant "tweak" or modification can be the cause of web salvation or hours of endless cursing.
Through the magic of virtualization technology (Vagrant) and Puppet, a companion Enterprise grade provisioning technology, we will explore how to make the complex configuration game a walk in the park. Bring new team members up to speed in minutes, eliminate variances in configurations, and make integration issues a thing of the past.
Welcome to the new age of team development!

I happen to live in a windy climate. I often find myself riding against strong headwinds and sudden gusts seemingly coming from all directions at once.
What are your tactics for riding in such conditions?
The answer to this question is different if you are going on a long-distance tour rather than going-to-work-and-back.
If on tour and facing the prospect of a struggle to do 30 miles when you really wanted to get 100 miles in (e.g. to get to next camp-site) it can be a better idea to not bother, sit out the wind and have a go later that day/evening or the next day.
It is also important to understand weather a little bit. The air in a valley will heat up on a sunny day and, as that air expands, it has to go somewhere. This can lead to a tough headwind instead of an easy down-hill ride when going into the valley. This process works in reverse, so, if planning a long distance ride and crossing valley systems it can be best to book a room in the town at the bottom of the valley rather than pitch a camp at the campsite near the top of the mountain pass.
Weather generally is more active during the day than at night so the best times for avoiding wind in a known windy place are early mornings and night. Clearly this does not help if you are doing 9-5 but if you are doing other shift patterns then you might be able to choose your shifts so as to get a near-guaranteed tailwind in both directions, to work and to home.
If you have to ride into headwinds there are a few things you can do:
If the problem is persistent on your route consider getting a 20" wheel folding bike. This will have better aerodynamics than your MTB/hybrid, you can also fold it up and take the bus/train as far as you can towards your destination. Also consider a saddlebag rather than a rucksack/panniers as saddlebags are the most aero bag option.
If the headwinds are always against you and your job matters more than your home, consider moving to the other side of town so your commute is with the prevailing winds rather than against them.
I deal with this at least once a week. Yesterday I was going 18km and hour with a heart rate of 175bpm (normally that's 35+). I get on the drops on my bar to reduce my wind profile. I try to stay on less busy streets (normally I'm out in the farm area) because the side gusts will cause swerving. Pay very close attention to what's behind you b/c of swerving. Get in an easy gear and spin it out. Head winds are great 'hill like' training.
Don't ever get a disc wheel since the added surface area will just make it worse in cross-winds.
Some suggestions:
I do my best to tack. Kind of like a sail boat. For example If I'm riding in the city and the winds are from the south I'll ride a mile or so south and then head east for a block or so to catch a break, head south for a mile or so and then head west a bit to catch a break.
It sure lengthens the ride but it can be good to get the short recovery periods.
If it's on bike paths or trails I just stay low and grind it out.
Perhaps a bit drastic, but I've found wind much less of a problem after moving to a recumbent (for obvious reasons).
One approach is to just accept that you won't be able to ride as fast as in still air and slow down a bit! Its certainly more enjoyable than battling hard against a head wind, especially if you aren't feeling so good and not in a hurry.
This, as well as some other tips, are included in this article: http://roadcyclinguk.com/how-to/technique/six-ways-to-bear-a-headwind.html

i recently bought a 108 year old house with an ancient garage that has vines growing up the back of the entire structure. the vines have started getting into the gutters and even inside the garage. i want to rip them all down but i'm not sure of the best tools to make the job easier and what steps i can take to slow/stop their regrowth.
In addition to the normal tools like pruners, hedge shears, etc., my tools for controlling unruly vegetation include:
In your situation, I would start by using these tools to cut back all the vines close to the ground. Dig as much of the roots out as possible, then keep an eye on the area for new shoots and dig them out (or spray them with weedkiller) as they pop up. Eventually you'll get rid of them, though it may take persistence on your part.
We had a bed of ivy, Virginia creeper, and god knows all what else. It grew and spread a couple of feet per year if left unchecked, and was continuously trying to climb our house walls. This takes serious effort to remove, since the roots go pretty deep.
First, I pulled up as much as I could. Beware if there are nasty things like poison ivy in there too. If that is an issue, then there are lotions you can apply before (and after) you get into it, to prevent problems. And wear gloves, long sleeves, etc.
Be careful if the ivy is climbing your house, as the tendrils can be strong enough to damage your siding when you pull them off, especially if you just tear it away. You may need to kill the ivy first, cutting away as much as you can on the house. Next year you can return to any tendrils still hanging on the house to remove them once they are dried up.
Next, I used a pitchfork to dig as deeply as I could. In my case, I went over a foot deep over the entire bed, turning over every inch of earth. Once I dug up the ground, roots in that area could now be pulled by hand (with a pair of heavy gloves.) Where roots went too deep to be pulled, I used a small hatchet to cut them off. (Use an old hatchet.)
Next spring, my expectation is to need to treat any vines that still come up with concentrated Brushbegone. I will apply this with a paintbrush on any leaves as they start to grow to avoid overspray.
My first weapon of choice now is the pruning saw. This was my situation, and after some frustration I went and bought some tools that might make the job easier, and a pruning saw was one of them (I took the machete back, turns out the serrated edge was better than a smooth one). I grab handfuls at a time, and hack away at the vines until the ground is clear enough to dig out roots. What do I use to dig out those roots you ask? My trusty 5lb pick mattock of course.
The wide blade helps to dig below the root bundles (a 5lb swing goes pretty deep), and using leverage I can pop them up. It's hard work no matter which way you slice it (!), and mine is still a work in progress.
I recently did this same task. Our flower beds were over-grown with Vinca and English Ivy. The English Ivy was growing into the grout between our bricks and killing our 100 year old Oak trees. The most useful tools I found were a shovel and a pair of small pruning shears, like these. Digging the roots out of the ground will help prevent the ivy from returning. The shears help remove it from your house when it's grown into or twisted itself around stuff so badly that it will damage your house to just pull it down.
It was a very tedious task, and it's almost impossible to get all the roots the first time. I was able to completely eliminate all the ivy by looking for spots where it popped up again over the next few months and digging out the roots at those spots. Good luck!
I'd agree with all of the tools that Niall C. mentioned, and for those really, really overgrown areas, I made use of a weed eater (string trimmer), chain saw and prybar:
I had a tree that was covered in vines when I moved in ... First, I cleared an area so I could see to work with the string trimmer. Then I took a chainsaw to cut almost all the way through the 2+ inch thick vines, in a ring, all the way around the tree, then again, about 9 inches above it. (one side being more difficult, as it was rather close to the fence). Then I took the pry bar, and pried out the sections of vine.
Within a few weeks, the vines started dying out ... unfortunately, I've never managed to get all of the vines uprooted, with it being so strong in the area, so I have to hit it with the bypass pruners every year ot two to keep it from climbing back up again.

Ni Nick, shooting very good leveled photos might be of very much interest in very short time, is a bit of secrecy now, sorry for that, but the secret will be completelly unveiled by me in no more than a week :)
In the mean time I'll appreciate to know if is posible to have a standard rotator for NN3 mk2 ( or mk3 if is will take some time) with spirit level in the middle of the rotator?
I know there one on the lower rail and that can cause confussion and poses some problem if one wants to upgrade to the advanced rotators, but still I dare to ask as you'll see that is important. No more than a week, I promise :)
Why in center, it can be seen through viewfinder, even with the lens at zoom in with no parallax, so the level can be fine tunned more convenient, also the off level due to the panohead rotation should be less and then much less confusion for the newbies remaining affordable in price..
Wait ! too much leak! the secret is in danger :)
thanks for providing the best affordable panohead,

We Tried It: The New Limited Edition MAC Cremeblend Color
How does the deep, rich red fair on dark skin?
But as I've experimented with the finer side of makeup -- the bold, chic lipsticks, the colorful, cute eyeliners -- I've learned that blush can actually be beautiful. And this is why I grabbed the new MAC Cremeblend Blush, $21, faster than Anna Wintour pulled Miley Cyrus' December Vogue cover.
The new, limited edition color is called Glamour Feast and at first glance, it looks like the perfect lip color for fall -- a deep, almost wine-colored red that seemed way too dark to put on the apples of my cheeks. The scarred-for-life-by-clown-makeup me thought, "Wait, blush is supposed to be bright-bright and fuschia, right? You know, to make my cheeks stand out?"
Well, this blush did all of that ... and then some, but in the best way possible. The neutral shade brings out the natural undertones in my skin, making it seem like I have a natural flush. I applied it using a blush brush (naturally) although it was a creamy, not powdery formula. But the slightly rounded tip of my brush worked to get the color on my cheeks evenly and blended perfectly. I've also dabbed a little blush onto my finger, blotted it onto my cheekbones and blended it using the brush as well. Both techniques work equally well, which is a plus for any makeup product I use.
MAC's crème formula sinks into your skin, allowing the color to stay bright without fading. The consistency is not too thick, but rich enough to build color up for a more saturated finish. It's a pretty neutral shade overall, which means it'll complement an array of skin tones in a way that's natural-looking and not super costume-y. It doesn't have a matte finish -- it gives cheeks a smooth, dewy glow that's (thankfully) not shimmery at all.
The kicker was that it paired well with a similar colored lipstick. I tend to stay away from wearing blush and lipstick combos for fear of having too much color on my face, but this shade worked. Plus, it didn't smear off my face after hours of aimless fidgeting -- touching my face and tapping my cheeks while brainstorming (bad habits I can't seem to quit). My recommendation: Add this to your bag ASAP (it's a limited edition, so snag it before October 3!) if you need a staple blush you'll wear well in to the New Year.

We'll come back stronger - Hart
- 06 April 2013 08:32
- Posted by @dclayton_MCFC
The main focus of today's Press is a lengthy interview Joe Hart has given to the nation's media ahead of Monday's Manchester derby.
Hart, never one to mince his words, is in most papers and his words have filtered on to numerous websites, too, with journalists eager to get a hook to hang their story on.
With Joe, there are more hooks than a Peter Pan convention, with his thoughts on why City trail United by so many points and how he and his team-mates will learn from this season the main topic of most features
"We have not fallen away. People will say it's a massive backwards step not winning it," he is quoted by The Guardian's Jamie Jackson. "But it's not that. We are still the side to beat, still competing with every game, still kept our respect and dignity, and we will come again. We are not a flash in the pan."
On the seemingly unsuccessful title defence, Hart continues: "Hopefully it won't happen but to be honest it looks like it will. It's something to deal with, but we will just have to keep blasting until the end of the season, keep trying to win and get as many points as we can to cement second and hopefully that will take us into next year."
But Joe is far from finished, giving a typically forthright opinion on United to Ian Ogden in The Daily Telegraph:
"I'm not really interested in giving them credit; it's about what we do. If they win the league, you have to take your hat off to them.
We know how good we are and for someone to beat us it is a big thing, but I'm not interested if they get praised or criticised
...Joe Hart...
"We have not fallen away. People will say it's a massive backwards step not winning it (title), but it's not that."
Lastly, Sportsvibe believe the Blues may launch a bid to bring a fourth Argentinian to the Etihad during the summer in the shape of Roma's Erik Lamela.
They write: "Roma have put a €30m asking price out for attacker and prominent Manchester City target Erik Lamela, it has emerged today.
'El Coco' is not only a target for the Premier League champions as he is also attracting interest from Manchester United and Barcelona as well as, most recently, Real Madrid.
Il Messaggero report that City have already sent Patrick Vieira to watch the Argentinean ace and his agent Pablo Sabbag is set to meet with club director Walter Sabbatini next week to discuss the former River Plate man's future."

Sure enough. Looks like free shipping with $50 purchase or free store pickup. State sales tax applies.
Just ordered one. No local store so had to have shipped. Currently on backorder but that's not an issue. Total, with tax & shipping : $34.81. Can't complain when the total is less than the original point-of-sale price.
I'm in for 1. All my local stores have them in stock. Total after tax was 25.67. Not bad..
Would have been better if it was a USB 3.0 stick. Transfering 64 GIGS over USB 2.0 would take a while.
2 64gb and a 8gb(to get the order over $50) on the way. Beat Newegg and Microcenter. Been needing to replace the 4gb in my truck.
Out of stock == dead.
Hmmm,I found this on eBay:

Hardly a research level question, but interesting nonetheless, I hope. Pi is easy, but not e. Where could I start?
closed as off topic by Martin Brandenburg, Steve Huntsman, Andy Putman, José Figueroa-O'Farrill, Harry Gindi Oct 9 '10 at 20:10
Questions on MathOverflow are expected to relate to research level mathematics within the scope defined by the community. Consider editing the question or leaving comments for improvement if you believe the question can be reworded to fit within the scope. Read more about reopening questions here.If this question can be reworded to fit the rules in the help center, please edit the question.
I learned about the "secretary problem" when I was about 10 years old from one of Martin Gardner's books. Though I thought is was cool and amazing, I don't think it gave me much insight into $e$.
Here's a way to introduce $e$ with only addition and multiplication, in the form of a game.
Tell him he's got a "budget" of say, 100 to work with, and his goal is to pick a bunch of (positive) numbers, not necessarily whole numbers, that add up to 100, where he tries to make the product as large as possible.
In his mind, he might first think to break his 100 as 50$\times$50, then realize that 25$\times$25$\times$25$\times$25 is even better, then 10$\times$10$\times$10$\times$10$\times$10$\times$10$\times$10$\times$10$\times$10$\times$10 is even better, and so on. The more numbers you split it into, the better!
But wait...
If you can explain $\pi$, then you can also explain radians, and this leads to a geometric interpretation of $e$ that is not in the wikipedia article Martin Brandenburg referred to.
Get a big sheet of paper and make a polar coordinate grid, and ask your ten-year-old to put a pencil down somewhere away from the origin, and try to draw a continuous curve that meets each radial line in a 45 degree angle. The curve will be a logarithmic spiral that spirals in toward the origin. Next, have the child trace along the curve toward the origin, starting at any point and stopping after 1 radian's worth of angular measure has been traversed. How much further away from the origin is the starting point than the stopping point? The answer is: by a factor of $e$. (By similarity considerations, it doesn't matter where you start.)
You could also make a little story out of this by getting the child to imagine four ants placed on the corners of a square, each facing its neighbor in the clockwise direction when looking down at them, and then each chasing its neighbor all moving at the same speed. The trajectories they trace out are logarithmic spirals which tend toward the origin, and which cut radial lines at 45 degree angles. I'll leave remaining details of the story to you.
In conjunction with such experiments, you could examine spirals on seashells (which are approximately logarithmic spirals), and notice that similarity of the shape of the spiral no matter how you turn it. Again, the spirals cut a "radial line" invariably at the same angle. You can then perform thought experiments on the sea shell along the same lines as above.
Via percents in a bank? If we have a bank deposit for $x$ per annum, then we get from $N$ dollars $N(1+x)$ after a year. But if we get $x/12$ every month, we get $N(1+x/12)^{12}$ after a year. If we get $x/365$ every day, we get $N(1+x/365)^{365}$ after year, and if we get our percents continuously, we get $Ne^x$ after a year.
If I were to take your title
"How do I explain the number e to a ten year old?"
Assume that you are in the (realistic!) situation of having a ten year old in front of you, and you wanting to tell him/her something about $e$.
Then it's probably better to try to serve the interests of the ten year old, and not those of the number $e$ (the number $e$ being a meme, it has its own interests). In other words, try to tell him/her something about math that s/he will understand, and will thus appreciate.
PS: My guess is that 15 years old is a good age for starting to learn about $e$. It is pointless to try to learn about $e$ before having acquired a deep intuitive understanding of the notion of exponential growth. And I would bet that that's assimilated only relatively late in the cognitive development of a child.
There is a nice way that I learned from Martin Gardner's books when I was young(er).
Imagine the following situation. There is a party with $N$ people. All of them throw their hats in the middle of the room, and then each of them takes one hat randomly. What is the probability that nobody gets its own hat?
The surprising answer is that this probability equals
$1-1+\frac{1}{2!}-\frac{1}{3!} + \cdots + \frac{(-1)^N}{N!}$,
which goes to $\frac{1}{e}=0.36788...$ for $N \to \infty$.
Here is one way which I learned from Clio Cresswell's Mathematics and Sex, although unfortunately I'm not sure how to prove it. Suppose you are sure that you will meet exactly $n$ suitable marriage partners in your life, but you don't know which one is the right one for you. As you meet each of your marriage partners in turn, you can choose to marry or reject them, and you cannot return to a marriage partner you have previously rejected. All you can do is maintain a list of how suitable each past marriage partner has been and compare that to your current suitor. What is the optimum strategy to maximize your marital bliss?
As it turns out, the answer (under these somewhat artificial conditions) is to reject the first $\frac{n}{e}$ of your partners, then marry the next partner after that which is as suitable or more suitable than your previous partners.
When I was this age, I loved the factorials. So why not try to explain it via the Stirling formula? That $n!$ is ``rather close'' to $n^n$ but you need to adjust it a bit via division by $e^n$.
Also, if he knows logarithms, the Prime Number Theorem is a good example why $e$ is the ``correct'' base of logarithms.
Does your ten year old understand the slope of a line? If so, try explain to him what a tangent line is by some drawings and examples, and then tell him that the function $e^x$ has the property that the slope of its tangent line at $x$ is $e^x$. I mean, I know this is not a very creative answer, but it does indicate clearly what is so special about $e$.
What about the basic (1+1/10)^10, (1+1/100)^100, and so on ?
I know a much simpler way; you just need to describe for him/her how to exponentiate.
Let $a > b \ge e$ be two numbers (for simplicity, let them be positive integers). The question is, which one is greater: $a^b$, or $b^a$? For instance, let $a=1000$ and $b=999$. Which one is correct: $1000^{999} > 999^{1000}$, or $1000^{999} < 999^{1000}$? (I assume that equality does NOT hold.)
It can be shown that $a^b < b^a$. In fact, for every $x \ge 0$, we have $e^x > x^e$ (assuming $x \ne e$).
Thanks for all the answers. Some feedback...
Martin, I think the compound interest problem might be a bit beyond him. And J.M., I really don't know how he came across e, but I could ask him next time and report back. Qiaochu and others, I also think the secretary problem is a little bit hard.
Todd, I think your method is the best. e simply isn't as "obvious" as Pi, whichever way we choose, but linking it in to spirals is by far the most engaging. I'll give it a go and let you know how I get all.
Thanks all of you for your answers.
Here is how I began my explanation of $e$ to a class of (mostly) freshmen:
After #1 and #2, see the words "important punch-line".
#2 and #3 also have some material relevant to $e$.
