This week is the final week to order seedlings for planting this spring. Orders will be accepted at the Soil and Water Conservation District office until Friday, March 22. Available varieties include flowering dogwood, white oak, redbud, white pine and Norway Spruce. Several additional varieties are available from the nursery. Special orders for seedlings at discounted prices are accepted in quantities of 25 only.
There are many reasons to plant seedlings. Trees are an essential element to life itself, providing habitat for wildlife in the form of food, water, cover and space. It's a refuge for creatures, which consume plants and berries growing along its floor.
Far outside of the forests boundaries, people depend on forests every day. Trees help cleanse the water we drink and the air we breathe. Clean water and fresh air are products of our forests. Trees add beauty to any landscape and protection from wind and soil erosion.
Forests offer families the opportunity to take a peaceful walk through the woods or picnic under a shade tree on a sunny afternoon. They also provide children with the perfect atmosphere to learn about the great outdoors.
Orders for seedlings can be placed by coming into the SWCD office in the USDA Service Center or by calling 382-2213, Ext. 3. Seedlings will arrive in mid-April, just in time for spring planting.

I don't get the 3SAT problem.
Can someone explain the 3SAT problem as if I were 5 years old, ideally with examples?

closed as too broad by Austin Mohr, graydad, Solid Snake, dtldarek, Claude Leibovici Sep 22 '15 at 7:02
There are either too many possible answers, or good answers would be too long for this format. Please add details to narrow the answer set or to isolate an issue that can be answered in a few paragraphs.If this question can be reworded to fit the rules in the help center, please edit the question.
I would start from the question, what's SAT in general. SAT is satisfiability problem - say you have Boolean expression written using only AND, OR, NOT, variables, and parentheses. The SAT problem is: given the expression, is there some assignment of TRUE and FALSE values to the variables that will make the entire expression true?
For example,
$x_{1} \wedge x_{2} \vee x_{3}$
SAT problem for this Boolean expression: is there such values of $x_{1},x_{2},x_{3}$, that given Boolean expression is TRUE. The answer to SAT problem is only YES or NO. We don't care what's the values of $x_{1},x_{2},x_{3}$, just existence of such values.
If this is OK, let's go further.
SAT3 problem is a special case of SAT problem, where Boolean expression should have very strict form. It should be divided to clauses,such that every clause contains of three literals.
For example,
$(x_{1} \vee x_{2} \vee x_{3}) \wedge (x_{4}\vee x_{5} \vee x_{6})$
This Boolean expression in 3SAT form, 2 clauses, each clause contains of 3 literals. The question is the same, is there such values of $x_{1}...x_{6}$, that given Boolean expression is TRUE.
If it wasn't helpful. I would advise to at look at application of SAT and 3SAT problem that close to your field of studying.
Start with a bunch of variables $x_1,x_2,\dots$ that, instead of taking on real values, only take on values from the set, $\{{{\rm true,\ false}\}}$. If $a,b$ are such variables then $a\vee b$ is true unless $a$ and $b$ are both false (think, "or"); $a\wedge b$ is true only if both $a$ and $b$ are true (think "and"); $-a$ is true if and only if $a$ is false (think "not").
A clause is a disjunction of variables, that is, something of the form $x_{i_1}\vee x_{i_2}\vee\cdots\vee x_{i_n}$, where some of those variables could be negations of other variables (that is, a clause could be somehting like $x\vee-y\vee z$). It's easy to tell whether a clause is satisfiable, that is, whether there are values of the variables that make it true.
The satisfiability problem is this: given a (finite) collection of clauses, is there a way to assign values to the variables to make all the clauses true?
3SAT is the case where each clause has exactly 3 terms.
EDIT (to include some information on the point of studying 3SAT):
If someone gives you an assignment of values to the variables, it is very easy to check to see whether that assignment makes all the clauses true; in other words, you can efficiently check any alleged solution.
If someone asks you whether there is a way to assign values to the variables to make all the clauses true, then you could just try all possible assignments of values, and check each one. But since there are two possible assignments to each variable, there are $2^k$ possible assignments of values (where $k$ is the number of variables), and this grows very large very fast. The big question is whether there is a cleverer way to do things so that you can solve the problem in a number of steps polynomial in the size of the problem, as opposed to exponentially many steps in the naive approach.
No one knows. What is known is that if there is an efficient algorithm for solving 3SAT, then there is an efficient algorithm for solving EVERY problem for which alleged solutions can be tested efficiently.
There are a bunch of teddy bears A, B, C, D and so on that are red on one side and blue on the other! (You choose how to color them)
AND there are a bunch of 3 armed aliens with really long arms. Each alien grabs 3 teddy bear hands! (A teddy bear hand can be grabbed by more than one alien.)
3-SAT is the problem of whether you can color the teddy bears such that every alien is holding at least one blue hand!

STEUBENVILLE - The Franciscan University of Steubenville women's lacrosse team dropped a 16-5 decision to visiting Albion College Sunday.
Midfielder Lauren Noce and attacker Tracy McClelland combined for all five of the Baron goals.
"They are going to be our top scorers," FUS head coach Maura Conant said.
Article Photos
SNOWY SUNDAY OF LACROSSE — Franciscan University of Steubenville's Lauren Noce carries the ball during Sunday's lacrosse loss at home.
-- Jacob Baugher
Noce put the Barons on the scoreboard eight minutes into the first half with an unassisted goal, and scored another unassisted goal before the end of the half and scored one free position goal from a penalty in the second half.
It was her second hat trick of the young season and she is responsible for six of the nine Lady Baron goals on the year.
McClelland scored two unassisted goals. Her second goal, the first of the second half, was scored three minutes into the second half to make the score 11-4. Noce would score her third and final goal a minute and a half later to cut the Albion lead to six, but that is close as the Lady Barons would get.
"The team is coming together," Conant said. "Now it's about becoming more mature and making better decisions to keep possession of the ball."
FUS (0-3) visits Wayensburg at 6 p.m. Tuesday.

Thank you for patch, it works! But there is something strange. Firstly, I change code like this:
// View has changed, may be a full refresh or just a single row onViewChange: function () { var me = this, tpl = me.tpl; if (tpl.isCTemplate) { // No need to wait for the polling, the sooner we inject the less painful it is tpl.injectComponents(); } // A view change could mean scrollbar problems me.redoScrollbars(); me.performGC(); //Patch for 4.1.1 Ext.Function.createBuffered(function() { this.up('tablepanel').updateLayout(); }, 10) //end patch },
and nothing is change...After tha I try this :
// View has changed, may be a full refresh or just a single row onViewChange: function () { var me = this, tpl = me.tpl; if (tpl.isCTemplate) { // No need to wait for the polling, the sooner we inject the less painful it is tpl.injectComponents(); } // A view change could mean scrollbar problems me.redoScrollbars(); me.performGC(); //Patch for 4.1.1 this.updateGridLayout(); //end patch }, //Patch for 4.1.1 updateGridLayout: Ext.Function.createBuffered(function() { this.up('tablepanel').updateLayout(); }, 10), //end patch
and Grid become resize correctly.
In addition, after updating a page, on millisecond it's possible to notice that firstly Grid show all raws, after that Grid hide some rows, and patch force it to show raws again. It could be a way to fix bug without UpdateLayout, doesn't it ? I think the reason is in hiding raws
11 Sep 2012 6:19 AM #62
There's actually no need to edit the code directly, my patch was written so that you can have it alongside the original code.
In your first attempt to change the code you're creating a buffered function but never invoking it. No great surprise that it made no difference.
Your second attempt is much closer to my original patch.
I'm not sure I follow your final comment. I think you're saying that you're observing a brief delay in the update where the rows are momentarily hidden and want to know how to fix that? While there may be some specific hacks to work around the problem I think re-running the layout is the only way to fix the sizing problems in the general case. You could try removing the buffering but I suspect performance will die for more than about 5 rows. Another option might be to use a more intelligent technique for determining when to re-run the layout, not just a simple buffering. I guess it could monitor whether or not there are components left to inject and run the layout when they're all done.
Another option might be to suspend layouts when creating the grid and only resume them after the components have been injected. That may save you a number of layout runs and prevent the problem you're seeing without the need for patching.
11 Sep 2012 7:47 AM #63
Thanks! You're right, I've made mistake in patching and try to do something with delay.

Hi. In IE there are errors:

This is awesome, however is there a way to just use this type to certain cells in the grid, Like only the first row of the grid should have the combo box.
16 Nov 2012 10:07 PM #66
@divya.booravalli. It depends. If you just want to return strings for the other rows then that shouldn't be a problem, the renderer is just like a normal column in that regard. You can grab the rowIndex as one of the arguments and switch accordingly.
However, if you want the other rows to behave like custom column types, like an Action column, then that'd be much more difficult.
It sounds to me like you don't really want the first data row to be comboboxes, you're just looking to insert some comboboxes between the grid's header and view. It may well be possible to do that without hijacking the first row of the gridview but I haven't tried myself.
6 Dec 2012 12:03 PM #67
some idea for edit the Component class?? I need pass the "scope" property for «this» reference inside the renderer function.
But i'm some little lost. :P

conditional renderer
I'm trying to modify your component.js to handle the following scenario. I have a gridpanel and am using your componentcolumn as in your example:
DestinationModel = Ext.define('DestinationModel', { extend: 'Ext.data.Model', fields: [ ... {name: 'id', type: 'string'}, // value {name: 'name', type: 'string'}, // visible to user ... ]}); ... Ext.define('DestinationStore', { extend: 'Ext.data.Store', model: 'DestinationModel' }); var IpDestStore = Ext.create('Ext.data.Store', { model: 'DestinationModel' }); var NonIpDestStore = Ext.create('Ext.data.Store', { model: 'DestinationModel' }); ... {dataIndex:'ipDestination', xtype: 'componentcolumn', renderer: function(dest){ return { store: IpDestStore, value: dest, xtype: 'combobox' }; }}, {dataIndex:'nonIpDestination', xtype: 'componentcolumn', renderer: function(dest){ return { store: NonIpDestStore, value: dest, xtype: 'combobox' }; }}
19 Dec 2012 10:05 AM #69
From your description I think I'd use the standard RowEditing plugin instead:
The inline demo near the top of the docs does something very similar to what you're describing.
If you still want to use Component Column there are a number of ways to approach it. I don't think it's necessary to modify the extension code directly.
The simplest is to use CSS. Return both the combobox and text (wrapped in a container) and then use a suitable CSS selector to show/hide the correct entry with display: none.
Another approach might be to store the selection status in a hidden field of the records. When a row is selected it can call set on the record to update whether it is selected. This has two consequences. Firstly it'll force the grid view to refresh that row, which will ensure the renderer gets called. Secondly, it'll give you a field in the record that you can grab inside the renderer to decide whether to return a combobox or text. There are a few potential pitfalls with this approach. Firstly, you've got to add an extra field to your model that doesn't belong there, especially if the records are shared. Secondly, keeping the field in sync with the selection model could be tricky (though it may just work, difficult to say).
Another way might be to grab the selection model directly from within the renderer function to determine what to return. Then wire up the selection model's events to call refreshNode on the grid view to force the renderer to be called when selection changes.

I am in the process of studying for a large Japanese Language test (JLPT N1) for which I need to learn a large amount of characters and vocabulary (2000+ characters, 10,000+ vocabulary). I've been using the spaced-repetition flashcard program Anki, which is absolutely phenomenal in my opinion. I've also been using a couple other flashcard programs (KanjiBox is great, and Obenkyou on my tablet). I also keep a notebook of similar looking characters so I can learn to tell them apart, which I review now and then.
Then it occurred to me that I may be turning the spaced repetition algorithm on it's head by reviewing so many facts out of "order"! I can definitely say that I've been learning these facts, but is there any evidence to say that I would be better off by sticking to just my Anki flashcards? I want to say that the more often I can review the better, but I can't say with authority.
In the end, I will still be seeing these characters and vocabulary "out of order" as I am also studying reading comprehension/reading Japanese newspaper articles, and there is no way to avoid seeing characters that I am studying.

Are you prepared for the zombie apocalypse?
If yes, how? What do you have to ensure your survival? Personally, I have a 12 gauge, an ability to shoot accurately, a machete and years of repressed anger that I can take out on the zombies.
8 Answers answer
You definitely don't have the correct weapons to deal with zombies. You're going to have to put yourself in a position where you get close to them in order to kill them, something which is a big no-no for zombie apocalypse survival.
While I am utterly unprepared, I would buy myself an accurate single/burst shot rifle and position myself in a location where I would never have to deal with more than a few zombies at any one time.
People always want to run around with machine guns in these scenarios. The problem with that is that if you're in a position where you need to mow down zombies with an mg, you're likely going to get bitten/eaten/zombie blood on you anyway. Sure, you should have one as backup, but never use it as your primary weapon.
@razmig00: you obviously don't know a whole lot about shotguns. With the right kind of choke, they can be accurate from a far enough distance and then still be deadly in case any zombie gets closer than it should, so I'm pretty covered no matter the distance. As for your plan, I can't really find anything against it other than it's just not something I'd do personally
No. They'll probably eat my brainz within the first few days. Oh well, that's life.
I could use some more ammo...but then there is no such thing as too much ammo.
@mtm2: Good grief, you sound like my other half. I swear, if my home ever catches fire, our next door neighbors know to run for cover. It's gonna be like a fireworks factory catching fire.
@nastyducky: If a zombie outbreak ever happens and I'm immune to the virus, I'll try to find you. Just make sure you respond when i call out your woot username.
shotgun is fine, if you have slugs or double-ought buckshot.
A nice rifle with a scope is better for long range zombie stopping, though.
depending on if the zombies are contagious or not, a chainsaw may or may not be a good weapon.
@lavikinga: same scenario here... (ammo going up in a fire)
I brought home belts of .50cal and 7.62 machine gun ammo as souvenirs from the army. I reallllllly hope my house never goes up in flames.
A shotgun are you INSANE? You won't have an arm left. Also, you would only be accurate at close range. I will stick with my .22 thank you.

The recipe is super easy to make and tastes great (and looks nice, too). Frozen and thawed tofu is key here because it acts like a sponge and soaks up the sauce. I usually throw a package or two of tofu in the freezer when I get home from the grocery store and thaw it when I need it.

Thanks for another great recipe! Do you remove the tofu from the water, or do you just freeze the whole package straight from the grocery store?

This was so good! Unfortunately I didn't have any chili sauce (& didn't want to run to the store!) so I used a weird combo of hot sauce, garlic, ketchup & soy sauce in its place. It worked (surprisingly)! Everything else I followed exactly & it was perfect. Very addictive.

I've read your blog for quite awhile and love using it as dinner inspirations. Tonight I made the sweet/hot tofu and the easy lunchtime noodles for my family. We're all vegetarian, but I dont think anyone noticed/cared that the meal was vegan too! Also, my omni mom went back for THIRDS of the tofu, she loved it so much.
Thanks so much for the great recipes! Theyre super easy to follow, and have great results.

I made this for lunch today (I'm a little behind!) and I couldn't believe how easy it was! The whole thing came together in 20 minutes and the sauce was great. It was easier to make than opening a jar of pre-made sauce stuff. I halved the tofu and doubled the green peppers (it was all I had on hand), but it still worked well.

Thanks for this recipe, it's delicious. I'll be moving in a few months and will no longer be able to go to my favorite Thai restaurant which serves a tofu dish that's somewhat similar to this. Since chili paste isn't really available around here, I ground up a fresh chili pepper and a couple of dried ones, along with some garlic and ginger, in the food processor and substituted that for the paste. I also added basil at the end. The only problem was that the frozen tofu seemed to soak up a lot more oil than fresh tofu normally does - is this a normal difference? I think in the future I may skip the freezing in order to use less oil. Great recipe though - wish my dad had cooked like that!

I have a Nikon D80, I know it is no longer produced, but how "outdated" is it? Also, how long do cameras typically last with average use?
closed as unclear what you're asking by mattdm, chuqui, Hugo, MikeW♦, TFuto Dec 10 '14 at 12:42
Please clarify your specific problem or add additional details to highlight exactly what you need. As it's currently written, it's hard to tell exactly what you're asking. See the How to Ask page for help clarifying this question.If this question can be reworded to fit the rules in the help center, please edit the question.
It came out in 2006 and was replaced in 2008. In the digital photography world, 2008 was millenniums ago. Could you still use one and be satisfied with it - most certainly. Beyond that all information on how "outdated" it is would really depend on your particular use case and expectations.
If you are interested in camera life, I would look at this existing question: What are shutter actuations? The above information, in addition to the camera shutter life database will help determine lifespan of a unit.
Only you can really say if your camera has become outdated. I suggest a simple experiment:
Look at those images objectively and ask yourself if you can see a difference that is worth the money. The newer cameras will probably have quite a few more pixels - but take a look to see if it makes a significant difference with your level of skill and the lenses you tested with.
I still enjoy shooting my D70 (older than your D80) but I feel the in camera JPEG processing isn't quite as good as some of the newer cameras from Nikon. I typically shoot RAW and post process images that I want to keep, saving off both the RAW and JPEG, I feel that this workflow gives me the flexibility to compensate for what I perceive as weaknesses in the JPEG processing that, for example, doesn't preserve highlights all that well.
Dated, yes. Newer DSLRs are much better and have improved in terms of performance and newer features like Live-View and video.
However, the D80 is still a good camera. Newer models cant change that and it is still better than 99% of cameras with fixed lenses. If you get it for a good price, its very good.
Wikipedia keeps a Nikon DSLR timeline, which will at least show you how many similar models there have been since the D80 was released, and let you research the newer similar models to see what has changed (and if they've added anything you care about).
For what it's worth, I use an even-older Canon 30D that I'm still happy with. There are some neat features on the newer models, but nothing I really need or that's compelling enough for me to spend several hundred dollars on (I'd rather spend that money on new lenses!).

CSS issue with widths and word-wrap
Sencha V:
- 2 pr1
Safari OS X, IOS Emulator
I've got a fieldset that I'm dynamically updating instructions on based upon input. Sometimes the text becomes too long.
I've set the css word-wrap property on x-form-fieldset to 'break-word', which should fix this - but it doesn't with the default CSS. The only way this property works is if I apply a static width to the fieldset.
Unfortunately, this isn't very flexible, and would look weird on iPhone vs Android vs iPad, etc. I believe this could be a bug, but I'm not sure.
I've attached two screenshots. The first has no static width applied, and the words do not wrap. The second is where I've applied a static width to get words to wrap.
Is this a bug? Any idea on how to fix this? Is this something Sencha should be taking care of for me?

The short answer is that to run the program, no matter what your directory, you need to have the program's directory in your search path. The problem can be solved by putting the program into a folder thats already in that path, or by adding a new folder to the path - either will work. The best answer depends on:
Is this program a downloaded program that you have compiled yourself from source?
Its quite likely will have an install mechanism already. In the folder that you compiled the program, as root, run 'make install'
Is this program a downloaded program that you want to make available as part of the standard programs on the computer?
Makes sense to put this kind of application into a standard folder. its quite common to use directories such as /usr/local/bin for such programs. You will need root access to do this.
This is a program that you have written for yourself and/or you have no special privilages on the computer.
Creating a folder in your home directory called 'bin', and placing the program in there. You may need to edit your login script to add the full path to this folder (e.g. /usr/home/jeremy/bin)
Whilst you could just add its current directory to the search path, you will have to keep doing this with every new program - and is more work in the longer term.

In the song Maoz Tzur it says

It probably refers to Edom, who is described in the last verse. In that verse, our salvation from Edom is written in future tense, as a prayer.
It may instead refer collectively to all 5 exiles described in the song, of which Edom is the last. After our final redemption, we will dedicate the 3rd beit hamikdash.
I don't think it refers to each exile individually, since it would take a little bit of gymnastics to explain how we dedicated the mizbeach after both Bavel and Persia.

Hello I'm developing a project, and I need to know is there a file hosting which support direct links to txt, zip? I have tried some free hosting sites, but all I do is get 403 forbidden when trying to access the direct link. Thank you

As it currently stands, this question is not a good fit for our Q&A format. We expect answers to be supported by facts, references, or expertise, but this question will likely solicit debate, arguments, polling, or extended discussion. If you feel that this question can be improved and possibly reopened, visit the help center for guidance.If this question can be reworded to fit the rules in the help center, please edit the question.
Any paid for web hosting provider will offer direct link downloads, but most free web hosts won't as they gain no revenue from the traffic.
If you just want to host files for download it's worth looking at file sharing services like Bit-Torrent Dropbox, Sparkleshare, Putlocker, Rapidshare and Mediafire.
All offer free file hosting or sharing in some form or another. These services generally divide into three categories.
The lines between these categories are not clear cut, Sparkleshare for instance combines elements of software client and peer to peer.
You should also read our community wiki 'How to find web hosting that meets my requirements?'

tcpdump is a command-line utility to see the traffic on any network interface. It is full-featured, but can require some serious reading of the man page.
Wireshark is a full-featured application that will allow you to see all such traffic. It provides a GUI (X-windows based) into which you can specify filters on traffic and collect statistics. See more info and download it at wireshark.org. I find knowledge of Wireshark to be very, very helpful with lots of network tasks.
Debookee will do the job for the following protocols: HTTP, HTTPS, DNS, TCP, DHCP, SIP ...
There's also a scanner included that can show you all the devices on your network.
But the best to me is the interceptor tool that allows you to see the traffic of any device (mobile, tablet, other Mac or PC) on your network, like Cain & Abel for Windows.

The Lazy Person's Way to Meditate?
If you're like most people, you have, at some point at least, tried meditation. But if you are also like most people, you've probably not found meditation user-friendly enough to become a regular habit.
In addition to the age-old spiritual benefits, thousands of research studies have demonstrated that meditation increases awareness, well-being and equanimity; relieves anxiety, depression and other mental health problems; increases mental clarity; and reduces the stress associated with many medical problems.

HIV Care Continuum: Conversations with the White House Office of National AIDS Policy
HIV Care Continuum: Conversations with the White House Office of National AIDS Policy
Event Date: Tuesday, September 24, 2013 - 1:00pm to 2:30pm EDT
The White House Office of National AIDS Policy (ONAP) will be hosting two webcasts to gather input from stakeholders and the community on what federal agencies can do to improve outcomes along the HIV Care Continuum.
The webcasts are free, and open to the public. They will be held on Monday, September 16 and Tuesday, September 24 from 1:00 pm-2:30 pm EDT. You will be able to provide input on the questions below by calling-in or via email.
Each webcast will begin with a brief update on the National HIV/AIDS Strategy and the HIV Care Continuum and be followed by input from the participants on the questions below.
- What structural, policy, and programmatic actions could be taken to improve care continuum outcomes?
- What actions could be taken so that evidence-based interventions focusing on the care continuum are further integrated into other proven approaches to addressing HIV? (e.g., housing, substance use treatment)?
- What are the research gaps, including implementation research gaps, along the care continuum?
- What actions are needed so that care continuum data are used effectively to monitor outcomes and drive real-time change across programs?

My SL2 stalls (it just cuts out, no warning) shortly after warmup (this all started right after I topped off the coolant after a low coolant light came on, although I don't know if they are related). After the stall there is no spark but all other electronics work and I need to wait at least 20 minutes before the car will start again. I replaced the ignition module, but this did not fix the problem.

It is possible that it is the crank position sensor. My friends trunk had the same problem. It would start and run for maybe 10 minutes then sputter out and die and not be able start again for hours.
Turned out to be a crank position sensor.
After you stated that you have to wait for it cool before it will run again is an indication that the crankshaft position sensor has failed. You should have a look at how to replace it on your vehicle. It's usually found on either the transmission bell housing (reading off of the flywheel as it rotates) or near the crank pulley at the lower front of the engine.
If you want to be 100% sure (I already am), then you could remove the sensor, and hook up an ohm meter and check resistance in the sensor. While watching the reading get a blow dryer and heat the sensor (don't melt it). While heating it, you'll notice the resistance begin to increase. This is normal since adding head to a circuit will increase resistance. Watch the meter's output closely. It will eventually show OPEN. It may only just flash OPEN for a second but at this point, the vehicle has stalled. With the crank sensor signal lost the engine's control systems have lost it's idea of where the engine is in it's "timing" (there's much more to it, just trying to explain it a simple as possible).

5 Government Programs That Backfired Horrifically
Sometimes government programs have good intentions and sometimes not. And sometimes they try shit just to see what happens.
And while the history of governments doing grossly misguided things is too long and depressing to recount here, these five programs backfired in ways that could impress even the most pessimistic among us:
#5. Prohibition Causes Horrific Violence, Drinking
Just typing this gives us the whiskey tremors, but here goes: For thirteen years, beginning in 1920, the sale of alcohol was banned in the United States. When the 18th Amendment was ratified in January of 1920, prohibition went into effect and began what would come to be described as "the bleakest time in American history" by that elderly, alcoholic relative we all have.
Hi, Uncle Rick!
Without the evils of alochol abuse, it was hoped that everything from unemployment to domestic violence would decrease dramatically. People would be free to focus their energy on other things like church, work, finances and, of course, smoking mountains of still-legal marijuana.
How It Backfired:
A wise man once said, "Here's to alcohol; the source of--and solution to--all of life's problems." He may not have realized it, but Homer Simpson's profound words on the subject perfectly sum up the problems with prohibition. Taking away booze didn't result in people not wanting to drink booze.
So wise.
Enter Al Capone, and the many, many guys like him who profited from smuggling newly illegal alcohol. Unfortunately for people who just wanted to buy and sell booze in peace, Capone gained control of Chicago's massive bootlegging and smuggling industry by way of a series of bloody gang wars.
At his peak, it's rumored Capone was bringing in close to $60,000,000 old timey dollars per year. That's money the government could have been taxing, which you'd have to think would have helped later during the Great Depression (we're just sayin').
As if the rising crime rate wasn't bad enough, some people suggest that alcohol consumption actually increased during prohibition. The problems caused by alcohol didn't go away, but taking alcohol away caused new, bigger problems. And the solution to those new problems? More alcohol. Just like Homer said.
Prohibition finally ended with the ratification of the 21st Amendment in 1935, and America learned a valuable lesson. Then marijuana was made illegal two years later.
#4. Glasnost Kills the Soviet Union
We all know the horrors of the old Soviet Union, thanks to a series of stark portrayals of the regime in the 80s (such as Rocky IV and Red Heat).
Glasnost was supposed to help fix all that. This was Mikhail Gorbachev's policy of loosening media controls and restrictions on freedom of speech. The policy of openness was intended to put pressure on ruling conservatives within the Communist Party who opposed Gorbachev's policies on economic reform (known as Perestroika).
Wow, searching for images for Gorbachev's policy of economic reform is boring as shit.
His hope was that a noticeable decrease in government-issued savage beatings for people who read books would lead to open debate and, eventually, widespread acceptance of his reform policies.
Unfortunately for Gorbachev, all that reading led the Soviet people to but one conclusion: "Man, fuck a Soviet Union."
How It Backfired:
Google Image Search has, like, 900 fucking variations of this picture.
Soon, stories were popping up all over Russia about the incredibly shitty Soviet economic and social situation. It's one thing to know that standing in line for six hours to buy vodka and a gently used sweater is the norm in your little neck of the frigid Soviet woods. That just makes you want to move to a less shitty town. Knowing that those lines are just as long everywhere else and it's your government's fault? That makes a person want to get a new government.
Nationalists began winning elections in the U.S.S.R. and one by one, those republics declared their independence.
Not to distract any of you from the exciting world of Nationalist politics, but Booya!
The situation finally reached a tipping point when the Soviet Union unwisely decided to host a title bout for a certain Rocky Balboa. When the crowd saw Rocky's tenacity and can-do American attitude, they began to cheer for him, instead of the Soviet-sponsored Ivan Drago. Within a few short years, the Soviet Union was dissolved [citation needed].
#3. The Strategic Hamlet Profram Somehow Makes us Lose Vietnam Even More
We suppose on a list like this you could just put "Vietnam" and leave it at that. But of the several million things that went wrong in the course of that war, we think perhaps one was more retarded than the rest.
As you know from Apocalypse Now and, to a lesser extent, Platoon, one problem was that the regular farm folk who we were trying to liberate in South Vietnam, and the commie bad guys we were fighting, were often the same guys.
So we launched the Strategic Hamlet Program to try to separate the bad guys from the good, so we could then kill that first group. Makes sense.
The idea was to set up villages that would be provided with supplies and protection by the non-commie South Vietnam government. The rural folk would all move there and would be so grateful they would support the good guys. This was all based on the scientific principle that, "If you force millions of people to pack up their shit and move to a new place that they have to build themselves with a bunch of strangers, they will love you for it."
How could that shit not work?
How It Backfired:
These "hamlet" and "village" words don't really do this program justice. Protecting and supplying a couple of small towns would have been no big deal. But in all, the Strategic Hamlet Program ended up relocating 8.5 million people. The government had no ability to supply and protect that many. Basically, they had a plan in place to take control of the area, but no plan in place to tell them what to do when they took control.
Who does that?
We do!
With millions of newly pissed-off South Vietnamese villagers now condensed in small areas, the communist insurgents were able to come in and recruit support at an impressive rate. In some cases there were as many insurgent recruits inside the villages as there were outside.
This posed an all new problem for U.S. and South Vietnam forces. Take a look at these two pictures of people who, according to the professionals at ratethisasian.com, are both Vietnamese.
Would you be able to tell which one is the communist insurgent? Yeah, neither could we (although the sunflowers indicate possible hippie activity). At any rate, U.S. and South Vietnamese forces faced this same problem, albeit at a presumably much less sexy level, with the Strategic Hamlet Program. Ordinary non-combatant citizens were now living amongst just as many enemy fighters. And nobody could tell the difference.
The program was eventually disbanded in 1963. And we never ever made similar mistakes during a war ever again. The end.

Canada's Goal: A Pro Hockey Settlement Before NHL Slams GDP
National Hockey League Lockout Puts Beer Sales, TV Ratings on Thin Ice
TORONTO—Bar owner Peter Kilgour typically hosts a packed house on Saturday nights this time of year, with four televisions tuned to what was once the country's most popular TV show, "Hockey Night in Canada."
Last Saturday, a smattering of regulars watched the 2003 superhero movie, "Hulk." Earlier in the week, Mr. Kilgour tried luring customers with a night of microwave TV dinners served with a sound track of theme songs from such classic TV shows as "I Dream of Jeannie," and "The Simpsons."
The gimmick played no better than the Hulk.
With the National Hockey League lockout entering its second month, you expect fans crying in their beer. But their grief may be drowned out by bar owners and brewers wailing over flat sales. "At least during the last lockout, I got people hooked on Baywatch reruns," Mr. Kilgour said.
The NHL Players Association and the NHL owners are in protracted negotiations over a new collective bargaining agreement. Both sides have traded acrimonious statements and the NHL has canceled more than 300 games so far.
In Canada, where hockey is part of the national culture, the void is unsettling—and potentially costly.
Doug Porter, deputy chief economist at Canada's BMO Capital Markets, said earlier in the lockout that a canceled season would shave 0.1% off Canada's annual gross domestic product. Even if both sides settle, he said, a truncated 2012-13 NHL schedule could pare 0.05% from GDP.
Molson Coors Brewing Co. TAP.A 2.93 % blamed the NHL dispute for a 5% drop in Canadian profits in its most recent quarter. Last week, Molson Chief Executive Peter Swinburn told a national news wire that the brewer, a big NHL sponsor, might seek compensation from the league. A Molson spokesperson confirmed the boss's comments but declined to elaborate.
With a regular season even longer than Canada's northern winters, "hockey is like the sun," driving beer sales up to near-summer levels, said Cam Heaps, co-founder of the Toronto-based microbrewery Steam Whistle Brewing Inc. "If there's a hockey game, people are drinking."
A lost NHL season, Mr. Heaps said, would have a "huge impact" on sales.
The Canadian Broadcasting Corp. also is feeling the pain. Viewership for the network's 60-year-old "Hockey Night in Canada" has shrunk to as small as an eighth of its normal two million-strong audience for the Saturday night slot, said executive vice president Kirstine Stewart. The broadcaster is airing reruns of old league games, chosen by fans casting votes online.
As in other man-made disasters, some parties land unexpected benefits. Saturday night ratings at rival broadcaster CTV have soared with reruns of the popular American TV show "Big Bang Theory." The network was calling it "Big Bang Night in Canada," until CBC threatened legal action. The two networks traded testy news releases before CTV dropped the name.
"We kind of capitalized on the Saturday night void in programming," said Phil King, president of CTV programming and sports. CBC's Ms. Stewart said CTV "took advantage of the situation."
The Halifax Mooseheads also are unexpected beneficiaries. The Canadian Hockey League team is drawing nearly a quarter more fans to its games—attendance has been up by 2,000 or so. Minor league games have been nationally broadcast on some Canadian TV sports networks.
The Toronto Marlies have seen a 30% boost in attendance so far this season. The minor league team in the American Hockey League said its growing popularity also comes after a good run in the playoffs last year. But overall, the AHL, which fields both U.S. and Canadian teams, has seen a big boost in attendance on both sides of the border since the lockout.
"We're not celebrating the NHL not playing, but we want to maximize the opportunity as long as it's there," said AHL President Dave Andrews. Mr. Andrews said he hoped the NHL reached an agreement soon. "But until it does," he said, "we're gonna do everything we can to take advantage."
Bar manager Brent Chow sought to cash in by sending waitresses in revealing outfits to local games of the Alberta Junior Hockey League's Grand Prairie Storm, hoping to entice customers to his Shark Club Sports Bar and Grill in Grand Prairie, Alberta. Mr. Chow reported mixed results: business went up, but nowhere near normal.
U.S. bars are hurting, too, of course, including the R Bar in Columbus, Ohio, where fans in good times cheer the local NHL team, the Blue Jackets. Last month, in lieu of a real-life matchup, the bar promoted a computer-driven videogame that pitted a digitized Blue Jackets team against a digitized Vancouver Canucks.
The Blue Jacket's official singer belted out the "The Star-Spangled Banner," as well as Canada's national anthem. The Blue Jackets radio announcers called a chunk of the simulated game. And the videogame Blue Jackets were just as bad as the real team. The team only once has made the playoffs since it was founded in 2000.
"It was still a terrible game," said bar co-owner Mike Darr of the digital Canucks' 7-6 win.
NHL players, too, are seeking new pursuits. Many are skating abroad in European or Russian leagues. Some have hosted charity hockey events at home.
P.K. Subban, who usually works as a defenseman for the Montreal Canadiens, filled in as a local TV weatherman and won rave reviews co-hosting a popular Canadian comedy show, "This Hour Has 22 Minutes."
Mr. Subban also appeared on a TV talk show and starred in a segment "P.K. Subban: Video Résumé," clad in suit and tie.
"I can start immediately," he said. "Seriously, I'm bored."

Lots of different programs, such as Darik's Boot and Nuke, let you write over a hard drive multiple times under the guise of it being more secure than just doing it once. Why?
Why is writing zeros (or random data) over a hard drive multiple times better than just doing it once?
Summary: it was marginally better on older drives, but doesn't matter now. Multiple passes erase a tree with overkill but miss the rest of the forest. Use encryption.
The origin lies in work by Peter Gutmann, who showed that there is some memory in a disk bit: a zero that's been overwritten with a zero can be distinguished from a one that's been overwritten with a zero, with a probability higher than 1/2. However, Gutmann's work has been somewhat overhyped, and does not extend to modern disks. "The urban legend of multipass hard disk overwrite and DoD 5220-22-M" by Brian Smithson has a good overview of the topic.
The article that started it is "Secure Deletion of Data from Magnetic and Solid-State Memory" by Peter Gutmann, presented at USENIX in 1996. He measured data remanence after repeated wipes, and saw that after 31 passes, he was unable (with expensive equipment) to distinguish a multiply-overwritten one from a multiply-overwritten zero. Hence he proposed a 35-pass wipe as an overkill measure.
Note that this attack assumes an attacker with physical access to the disk and somewhat expensive equipment. It is rather unrealistic to assume that an attacker with such means will choose this method of attack rather than, say, lead pipe cryptography.
Gutmann's findings do not extend to modern disk technologies, which pack data more and more. "Overwriting Hard Drive Data: The Great Wiping Controversy" by Craig Wright, Dave Kleiman and Shyaam Sundhar is a recent article on the topic; they were unable to replicate Gutmann's recovery with recent drives. They also note that the probability of recovering successive bits does not have a strong correlation, meaning that an attacker is very unlikely to recover, say, a full secret key or even a byte. Overwriting with zeroes is slightly less destructive than overwriting with random data, but even a single pass with zeroes makes the probability of any useful recovery very low. Gutmann somewhat contests the article; however, he agrees with the conclusion that his recovery techniques are not applicable to modern disks:
Gutmann later studied flash technologies, which show more remanence.
If you're worried about an attacker with physical possession of the disk and expensive equipment, the quality of the overwrite is not what you should worry about. Disks reallocate sectors: if a sector is detected as defective, then the disk will not make it accessible to software ever again, but the data that was stored there may be recovered by the attacker. This phenomenon is worse on SSD due to their wear leveling.
Some storage media have a secure erase command (ATA Secure Erase). UCSD CMRR provides a DOS utility to perform this command; under Linux you can use
If you're concerned about an attacker getting hold of the disk, don't put any confidential data on it. Or if you do, encrypt it. Encryption is cheap and reliable (well, as reliable as your password choice and system integrity).
There is a well-known reference article by Peter Gutmann on the subject. However, that article is a bit old (15 years) and newer harddisks might not operate as is described.
Some data may fail to be totally obliterated by a single write due to two phenomena:
Multiple writes with various patterns aim at counterbalancing these two effects.
Modern hard disks achieve a very high data density. It makes sense that the higher data density is, the harder it becomes to recover traces of old overwritten data. It is plausible that recovering overwritten data is no longer possible with today's technology. At least, nobody is currently positively advertising such a service (but this does not mean that it cannot be done...).
Note that when a disk detects a damaged sector (checksum failure upon reading), the next write operation over that sector will be silently remapped to a spare sector. This means that the damaged sector (which has at least on wrong bit, but not necessarily more then one) will remain untouched forever after that event, and no amount of rewriting can change that (the disk electronic board itself will refuse to use that sector ever again). If you want to be sure to erase data, it is much better to never let it reach the disk in the first place: use full-disk encryption.
A nice question with takes a two-part answer:
Since this is such a much-discussed subject, with many people saying "pro" and "contra" while quoting the "Secure Deletion of Data from Magnetic and Solid-State Memory" paper, published by Peter Gutmann in 1996 ( http://www.usenix.org/publications/library/proceedings/sec96/full_papers/gutmann/index.html ), the following should be noted:
( source: http://news.softpedia.com/news/Data-Wiping-Myth-Put-to-Rest-102376.shtml )
On the other hand, there are military and governmental data-erasure that define multiple overwrites as a must. (I will refrain from judging that, but you should think about the "why" of this fact.)
In the end, it's a question of "what data" you want to "protect" by erasing it, and how important it is that the erased data will be unrecoverable in any potential case. Let's put it this way: if you want to delete your personal dairy, you probably don't need to overwrite each and every free sector... but if you're working on plans for a nuclear power plant or some "secret project" for your government, you'll not want to let a single byte as is.
When people ask me personally, I always answer: "better safe than sorry. There are solid standards defining multiple-overwrites of freed sectors as a must. There is a reason for that. Scientific papers (even recent ones) show that recovery of erased data is possible using different means. Even when the chance is small, I wouldn't take the risk and I think it would be unprofessional to advise anyone not to think about that risk."
I guess that wraps it up best.
So, to correctly answer your question:
They do that, based on Gutmann's paper and the existing standards used by governmental institutions.
The answers provided so far are informative but incomplete. Data are stored on a (magnetic) hard disk using Manchester coding, such that it's not whether the magnetic domain points up or down that encodes one or zero, it's the transitions between up and down that encode the bits.
Manchester coding usually starts with a little bit of nonsense data suitable for defining the 'rhythm' of the signal. It's possible to imagine that if your attempt to overwrite the data with all zeroes once wasn't exactly in phase with the timing under which the original data were stored, it'd still be super-easy to detect the original rhythm and edges, and reconstruct all of the data.

General Discussion
Tuberous sclerosis is a rare genetic multisystem disorder that is typically apparent shortly after birth. The disorder may be characterized by episodes of uncontrolled electrical activity in the brain (seizures); mental retardation; distinctive skin abnormalities (lesions); and benign (noncancerous), tumor-like nodules (hamartomas) of the brain, certain regions of the eyes (e.g., retinas), the heart, the kidneys, the lungs, or other tissues or organs. In addition, many affected individuals may have cyst-like areas within certain skeletal regions, particularly bones of the fingers and toes (phalanges). Characteristic skin lesions include sharply defined areas of decreased skin coloration (hypopigmentation) that may develop during infancy and relatively small reddish nodules that may appear on the cheeks and nose beginning at approximately age four. These reddish lesions eventually enlarge, blend together (coalesce), and develop a wart-like appearance (sebaceous adenomas). Additional skin lesions may also develop, including flat, "coffee-colored" areas of increased skin pigmentation (cafe-au-lait spots); benign, fibrous nodules (fibromas) arising around or beneath the nails; or rough, elevated, "knobby" lesions (shagreen patches) on the lower back.
Tuberous sclerosis results from changes (mutations) in a gene or genes that may occur spontaneously (sporadically) for unknown reasons or be inherited as an autosomal dominant trait. Most cases represent new (sporadic) gene mutations, with no family history of the disease. Mutations of at least two different genes are known to cause tuberous sclerosis. One gene (TSC1) has been mapped to the long arm (q) of chromosome 9 (9q34). A second gene for the disease (TSC2) is located on the short arm (p) of chromosome 16 (16p13.3). It remains unclear whether some sporadic and familial cases of the disease may be caused by mutations of other, currently unidentified genes (genetic heterogeneity).

completed garter
After reading the comments on my "almost garter" post I decided I liked the idea of changing gauge as I changed color. So, when I was about 2/3 through the two original hanks of lavender and grey Ultra Alpaca Light I added a ball of Pure Merino Heather in one of my favorite greens – the one Margery has so deliciously named Pesto Genovese. The pattern stitched changed when I added a third color. I kept knitting every row, but knitting one row each of 3 colors (in the same order) over and over – produces garter stitch. I no longer had to use both ends of the needle either. I kept that up until I ran out of one of original colors, then I continued in garter in the Pesto Genovese only until I ran out of it too. I never changed needles sizes and to my surprise my scarf didn't change width, even though Pure Merino Heather is considerably larger than Ultra Alpaca Light. So much for the change of gauge! I think, as my friend Janet suggested, that this might be an artifact of the alpaca being a fiber that likes to expand to it's fullest potential and that Merino wool has a compressible quality. The merino end of my scarf is not a supple as the alpaca end, but I like the contrast, and I love the way the tightly knit merino stands up like little pearls along each garter row. My finished scarf is about 52″ long. Not the 5′ I thought I wanted, but it does the trick. Hmm, who shall I give it to in a few weeks?
Love the way the colors shift from one end of the scarf to the other. Isn't it amazing what you can do with a simple knit stitch? I'm going to show this scarf to the beginners in my knitting group who are still in the "rectangle phase." No need for those rectangles to be boring, right?November 25, 2007
Incredibly organic! I really like this. Not everything has to be super-complex to be amazing, this definitely proves that.November 25, 2007

I think I remember EZ writing about that needle change not affecting gauge in Knitting Without Tears. As I recall, she was trying to make the point that if you knit with 2 differently sized needles (but ones varily close together), your hands will automatically adjust and make the knitting come out even.
If EZ didn't say that in KWT, then Maggie Rhighetti (sorry for the butchered spelling) may have.December 28, 2007

Managing Your Maternity Leave
In This Article:
More negotiation tips
- Think through your argumentsWrite the proposal to benefit your supervisor while at the same time giving careful consideration to your priorities in your personal, financial, and professional life. Expect objections and have solutions ready. If you want to work part-time, mention that you can identify and eliminate 20 percent of your workload and are willing to take a 20 percent reduction in pay. Or when you telecommute, there will be improved productivity due to fewer interruptions and no commute time. If you want to work a compressed work week, tell your boss there will be better coverage during extended hours of certain days. Or he or she will save physical space when you and someone else share a desk and telecommute or work part-time on opposite days. Citing flexible work arrangements within your profession and/or industry (especially with competitors) can also be effective.
- Give your boss a roleEven if you have the plan all worked out, it doesn't hurt to find a way for your boss to have some input. Present your plan and ask how he or she thinks this will work out in your department. Tell your supervisor you can make adjustments to this plan as necessary should circumstances change. Treat it like a proposal that is open to negotiation. The better your plan assures your boss that your work will get done, the more cooperation and flexibility you're likely to encounter.
- Have a substitute plan readyShow your willingness to be flexible by preparing a second leave plan to present if the first one meets resistance. Under FMLA, you can break up your twelve weeks in any way. For instance, you can take eight weeks up front and then spread the next four over several shortened work weeks before returning full-time. Your employer will likely be amendable to this idea, as she or he will surely be eager to get you back into the office as soon as possible.
- At the first meeting, accept the points you've agreed on and leaveNow that you know your employer's objections to other points, you'll be able to develop new ideas to be discussed at another meeting. Don't rush into anything; once you announce an early decision, either you're stuck with it or you look indecisive to your colleagues if you change it. Much of your decision will depend on your level of energy, the progression of your pregnancy, and the kind of work you do.
- Suggest a trial periodThat way you and your supervisor can review the arrangement and make adjustments if needed.
- Don't be pressured into accepting an unsuitable leave planIf you're presented with a leave plan that is clearly unacceptable, say that you'll need time to think it over and make another appointment. Don't let your superior force you into an arrangement that's bad for you and your family. Say nicely but firmly, "In fact, I am planning to take the full twelve weeks offered by federal law. Here's the plan I've drawn up." If your boss is really uncertain about what the law provides, tell him or her you'll be happy to provide an update and bring a copy of the offices policy. Remember, you're not asking for approval, but anything you can do to make your supervisor better informed, especially about the law, will benefit both you and other moms-to-be who follow in your footsteps. If it just doesn't seem to be working, see "Work Options to Consider," below.
- Document everythingKeep a written record of all the points agreed upon (see Sample Maternity Leave Agreement), or write a memo covering everything. Sign it, date it, and have your boss do the same. Keep a copy for yourself, of course, give a copy to your boss, and give another one to the personnel department.

During Musaf of Rosh Chodesh the words Ulichaporas Pasha is added on during a leap year. Why is this done? And what is the significance of it?
Sign up
- Anybody can ask a question
- Anybody can answer
- The best answers are voted up and rise to the top
Simple answer -- there are twelve terms of request in a normal year (chaim, shalom, sason, simcha ...), one for each month. Leap year has a thirteenth month, so a thirteenth term. Now why we say "indemnity of iniquity" [try saying that five times fast!] per se (other than it follows nicely from the previous pair about forgiveness and pardon), and whether given phrases map to specific months or if it's 12=12, I don't know. Though I assume that "pasha" is the most severe form of sin, so it's reasonable that we don't push our luck and thus only ask for forgiveness for it every few years.
I just found a Kunteros Achron #448 published on the bottom of the Taamei Haminhagim #448. He writes that the reason we say Ulichaporas Pasha is in case the year was made into a leap year in error and through that we are eating Chomeitz on Pesach.
A thought that I had today. The main purpose of Rosh Chodesh according to what we say in Mussaf is "Roshei Chadosim L'Amcha Nosato, Zman Kaporo Lchol Toldosom" and this is reaffirmed when we have an additional 13th month by saying Ulichaporas Pesha. There are those that say Slichos Yom Kippur Kotton Erev Rosh Chodesh to have a Kaporo for the entire previous month.

My name is Jordan and I was an apprentice up until a few days ago. I
got your book and started reading "How To Choose A Piercer" and the
piercing and aftercare techniques and realized that the person that I was
learning from was not a skilled piercer. He was recommending baby shampoo
as his sole aftercare product! I looked up the ingredients and among
fragrances and surfactants were other irritants that were both genotoxic
and cytotoxic! So I wanted to thank you because in reading the book twice
I increased my knowledge tenfold! My girlfriend and I literally read your
book together in bed :)
Also the other day I was on the Rings of Desire site and saw that you used
to sell autographed posters? Where was I?!? haha :) I'd love an
autographed picture or poster! Would Love to hear from you soon!
Thank you a lot that you accepted me for a friend.
You made me very happy. It is my distinct honor to keep your new book The Piercing Bible in my hands of which I received today.
I am the master pirser in Serbia, Novi Sad in the Studio of tattoo & Piercing colled Be Beauty.
Can not wait to read your book and learn so much from it, because you were the person for which I started, and dealing with the piercing.
I will send you a friend request of my studio profile BeBeauty TattooPiercing , and I would be very grateful if you would view my work related to piercing and told me honestly what you think.
Thank you in advanced!
Best regards,
Nikola Puvaca
Hi Elayne!
First off let me begin by telling you what an honor it is to be writing you this PM. I admire both your work and your outlook on life and I love The Piercing Bible!
I'm a 34-year-old nurse and single mom. My man is wonderful in every aspect with the exception that he is so opposed to piercing and any form of body mod. I currently have 10 tattoos and piercings in my navel and helix. I'm wanting my nipples done so badly and I'm afraid I'm going to push him over the edge if I do. (I love your off center navels BTW.) I've already told him it's my body, I'm not married to him so I refuse to ask for permission to do anything. Any insight? Any advice? I love him and this is really the only issue we butt heads on.
Thank you so much in advance for your time in reading this. You're truly an inspiration to me and I'm so glad to be able to communicate with you through the Tribe. I hope to meet you one day. With that said, have a great night!
The easiest, safest, most effective piercing care product ever!
GREAT for healing and troubled piercings.

Available drive space is less than five times the value of physical memory. This is dangerous because it does not provide enough room for a full memory dump with continued operation. It also could cause problems with the Virtual Memory swap file: Macintosh HD (JAMES-PC - E:).
Is this warning anything to be worried about on a local dev enviroment (win7 native) ? i have 16gb of ram and 120gb of hdd space left(my maths puts 5x16 at 80, but hey). Im thinking it should not cause any issues as its not being used for production, but thought i better check.

I have some large images in a grouped UITableView. There's 1 row in each section which holds the image and there is associated header and footer text for each section about the image. I worked hard to get it to scroll smoothly is iPhone OS 3.x and finally succeeded. But... when I upgraded to iOS 4, that all changed. Now there is very jerky performance whenever a new cell is loaded. Here is my cellForRowAtIndexPath code:
- (UITableViewCell *)tableView:(UITableView *)tableView cellForRowAtIndexPath:(NSIndexPath *)indexPath {
static NSString *CellIdentifier = @"CellIdentifier";
UIImageView *photo;
UITableViewCell *cell = [tableView dequeueReusableCellWithIdentifier:CellIdentifier];
ApplicationDelegate *appDelegate = (ApplicationDelegate *)[[UIApplication sharedApplication] delegate];
NSString *fileName = [NSString stringWithFormat:@"%@",[[appDelegate.sectionsDelegateDict objectAtIndex:indexPath.section] objectForKey:@"MainTrackImage"]];
UIImage *theImage = [UIImage imageNamed:[[appDelegate.sectionsDelegateDict objectAtIndex:indexPath.section] objectForKey:@"MainTrackImage"]];
imageHeight = CGImageGetHeight(theImage.CGImage);
imageWidth = CGImageGetWidth(theImage.CGImage);
if (cell == nil) {
cell = [[[UITableViewCell alloc] initWithStyle:UITableViewCellStyleDefault reuseIdentifier:CellIdentifier] autorelease];
photo = [[[UIImageView alloc] initWithFrame:CGRectMake(0, 0, 320, (imageHeight*320)/imageWidth)] autorelease];
photo.tag = PHOTO_TAG;
[cell addSubview:photo];
} else {
photo = (UIImageView *) [cell viewWithTag:PHOTO_TAG];
[photo setFrame:CGRectMake(0, 0, 320, (imageHeight*320)/imageWidth)];
photo.image = theImage;
return cell;
Note: I've tried using the following code in place of the "imageNamed" method with no success:
UIImage *theImage = [UIImage imageWithContentsOfFile:[NSString stringWithFormat:@"%@/%@", bundlePath,fileName]];
I've even tried pre-caching the images but with no success. Any help would be greatly appreciated.
UPDATE: I've tried experimenting with using Grand Central Dispatch to load the images by creating an image queue and loading them asynchronously:
dispatch_async(_image_queue, ^{
photoImageView.image = [imageCacheNS objectForKey:imageString];});
The problem I'm getting is that the images load very slowly and when I scroll the table, the previously viewed images are shown for a few seconds until the new image is loaded.
UPDATE 2: I still have not been able to make this work. I'm now looking into using the drawRect method to draw the cell. I'm hoping this will improve scrolling performance. Apple's tableViewSuite sample code example #5 shows how to do this, but I'm having trouble finding out how to make this work for my project. Anyone have any experience using drawRect: to loading images into a tableview?

I understand that the atmospheric temperature is sensed relative to external body temperature. However, is the sensation of warmth registered linearly, or is it on a logarithmic scale, similar to sound that works on the Decibel scale? Or is it on another scale entirely?
A more general answer/comment is that technically almost nothing in biology is really linear.
In a linear relation, when one variable increases the other increases proportionally. In biological systems this typically cannot happen because of physical limits (such as the number of molecules), which tend to produce saturation at some level.
For example, when a substance is "sensed" by the receptors of a cell, sensing would become saturated as the receptors approach maximal capacity. In a similar manner, heat sensing will be limited by a maximal capacity and saturation of the nervous system. This is of course not specific to sensing but is a general characteristic of biological systems, because they are ultimately made of a finite number of components.
That said, sometimes a linear-like relation is observed at a specific range of values. For example, this is a mathematical characteristic of a class of functions called logistic functions. At ranges that are far from saturation, these functions have approximately linear behavior.
In the following example figure I marked (black box) the "linear-like" regime of a simple logistic function y=1/(1+100*exp(-x)):
The human sensation of warmth is not the measurement of static temperature. Humans detect the rate at which heat is leaving (or entering) their body. For instance, if you are sitting in your 0 degree car in the morning, your hand in the open air will feels warmer than your hand touching the steering wheel, despite them both being at 0 degrees.
The reason is that heat conduction from your hand to the steering wheel is much faster than convective heat transfer from the air. So you feel "colder" touching the steering wheel, but it's really that you're losing heat faster.
