I kept purchasing comforters for my bed but everytime I would wash them, they'd turn lumpy & unravel. I really don't know what they make some comforters with nowdays, but it's not the best material & it would always upset me to see something so beautiful on picture go bad after one wash. My grandma would always remind me to get into quilts instead because they rarely deformed & they lasted for years, even decades. I finally decided to purchase a quilt and I'm glad that I found this one. I washed this quilt as soon as I got it & washing it made it all the more softer. It is a heavy quilt, which is good for the North Dakota winter months. I also love the brightness of it. Colorful things are not just for children! I love this quilt & so will you! =)
I ordered this in a King size to fit my daughter's full bed without a bedskirt and it is perfect! The colors are true to the picture and offer lots of options for accessorizing. The fabric is a decent quality and the shams are standard size which is what I wanted. It arrived very quickly and my daughter loves it!
You will need to air this out (as I did) or wash before using. It is well-made, GREAT colors, and quite warm without being bulky or heavy. I really like how it brightened up our bedroom after the long winter. But, for whatever reason, when I took it out of the zippered plastic bag it was in, it had a very strong chemical smell, almost like dry cleaning fluid. I had to air it out for several days before putting it on the bed. I didn't want to wash it first thing. I bought the king size for a queen bed because I wanted plenty of hang-over on the sides. Other than the smell (which is fixable), I am very happy with this - good value for the price.
Bought this set for 8 year old granddaughter and she loves it. Ordered the full/queen for her twin bed so it would look more like a spead than comforter. Had a funny odor so laundered it and it was fine. Great set for the price/
- How did the color on site compare with the actual product? The colors were brighter and much prettier than photograph
- Please tell us about the quality of the product. Midweight suitable for year round use
- How accurate was the on site description of the product? Accurate
Very heavy, and feels durable. Somewhat surprised considering price. Color is very vibrant and pretty true to the pics. Seems well made, however will see how it holds up in time.
- Did the color match the color displayed onsite? Yes
- How is the quality of the product? Very good
- Did the description onsite accurately describe the product? Yes
A++ Quilt Set! Squares are individually sewn on. Washing / drying makes all the difference: Quilt softens, thickens, & gains pucker-y texture & dimension once washed & machine dryed. Absolute centerpiece of my teen's bedroom (purple walls). We have retro / antique / waterfall medium wood-tone furniture, this set would go w/ any style furniture. Is sooo comfy! Various shades within each color family ( fuscia / purple / blue / green ), so it's nearly dummy-proof to accessorize. You can easily add sheets / throws / pillows to accent & add drama to this gorgeous set. It's an extremely comfy, functional, piece of art ! Enjoy :)
This is the second quilt I have purchased through overstock. My daughter has been wanting this for about a year now, and we finally bought it when it went 10% off with free shipping. It was well worth the wait! She was so excited to find it under the tree Christmas morning. The only drawback was that we had to wash it before use because it did have a strong chemical odor from the plastic bag it was sold in. I was very pleased with the way it washed and dried. It actually softened up a bit and was a lot more inviting to sleep with. The colors remained vibrant and didn't fade at all with the washing. It also held up well, with no shrinking or losing shape. Great purchase!
Fantastic quilt -- I bought the king size for my daughter's queen bed. Drape is perfect. Colors are so gorgeous. And it was delivered in record time!
- How did the color on site compare with the actual product? perfect match
- Please tell us about the quality of the product. Very nice quality for the price
- How accurate was the on site description of the product? excellent
love this quilt bright vivid colors makes me happy
- How did the color on site compare with the actual product? looked the same
- Please tell us about the quality of the product. verygood quality
- How accurate was the on site description of the product? very good
I recently purchased this quilt set for my 9 year old daughter's room. It is the perfect weight for summer, not too light and not too heavy. She loves the colors and it definitely adds personality to the room.
- Did the color match the color displayed onsite? Color was exactly as pictured
- How is the quality of the product? Very nice quality
- Did the description onsite accurately describe the product? Description was accurate
I bought this quilt for my 6 y.o. daughter's room. The colors are even more vibrant than online, and they matched her Hawaiian-themed room perfectly. I do wish the quilt was a little heavier. It is quite lightweight, and we will most likely have to use an extra blanket during winter. Otherwise, I highly recommend this quilt!
- Did the color match the color displayed onsite? Yes, but even more vibrant in person.
- How is the quality of the product? Seems well-made, but time will tell.
- Did the description onsite accurately describe the product? Yes.
My daughter loved this. Colors are true to picture and go with almost anything. Seems well made.
I purchased this set for my daughter's room. Her walls are turquoise and this quilt set looks wonderful in her room. I washed it before I put it on her bed and it held up great. No loose threads. Love that we can add accessories of any color and the quilt will still coordinate.
This quilt is nice, nicely made, great colors. I feel the item was misrepresented by Overstock as it is not 100% cotton as indicated. The fill is a cotton/polyester blend.
I ordered this set for my daughter and it arrived within 2 days looking awesome. We have owned it for 5 months and I have only washed it once. Unfortunately, after washing it, one of the shams came apart in three of the different seams. I'm so bummed because both my daughter and I really like the set, I just think it is poorly made. I contacted Overstock for a replacement piece and am awaiting their reply.
The perfect addition to a room for 2 teenage girls. We folded them at the base of the white beds, and they add the perfect splash of color, without being too much. After washing, they soften up- like you've had them for years. The colors are brilliant, and they are well made.. We love them. And the price... well, that speaks for itself.
Very well made, very colorful too! the only drawback is the magenta on the back is so intense that even I couldn't stand to turn it over to that side.
I purchased this quilt set for my daughter's bedroom and just love the beautiful colors! The quilt itself is good quality and has held up nicely through several washings already. I am very happy with this buy!
We ordered this set for our granddaughters room. It is perfect for a tween. The colors are beautiful and the quality great. She loved it and it will do what we need until she goes to college. Great buy.

Delaware Hunting Laws and Regulations
Passing this Hunting safety course will complete your online safety education for Delaware.
pay only when you pass
Do you need Delaware Hunting education?
You need education to purchase a hunting license in Delaware if you were born after Jan. 1, 1967.
You must be at least 10 years old to take this online course.
You do not have to be a resident of Delaware to take this online course.
Hunting education is currently required in several U.S. states and Canadian provinces.
Why Hunting Safety Education Is Important
Since states have begun requiring hunter education, over the last 30 years hunting incidents have drastically decreased, while the number of hunters has increased. Today, hunting is one of the safest outdoor activities you can enjoy.
All U.S. states, provinces, and countries that have mandatory hunter education requirements will accept the Hunter Education Certificate. Likewise, Delaware will accept Hunter Education certifications that are issued by other jurisdictions that meet official IHEA requirements. (This is known as "reciprocity.")

Modernity and Consumption: Theory, Politics and the Public in Singapore and Malaysia (Paperback)Antonio L. Rappa
Paperback Published: 04/04/2002
- Can be ordered from our supplier
What does it mean to be a consumer in the early-21st century? How do our public choices determine identity and behaviour? Have we ironically become slaves to our own consumption preferences? While the Enlightenment theorists exposed the philosophical weaknesses of theology and the spuriousness of metaphysics, their work leaves little room for theoretical manoeuvres, and even less space for understanding consumption today. Rejecting Habermas' polemics in "The Structural Transformation of the Public Sphere" (1991) as an incidental "moment" in the tradition of Western philosophy, Antonio L. Rappa offers an examination of modernity and consumption with a non-Marxist, modernity-Resistance-theoretical frame (mRf) that draws on the work of William E. Connolly, Gianni Vattimo, Stephen K. White, Theresa Brennan and Wendy Brown. Late modernity - the experience and consciousness of global and technological transformation today - is not about the fusion of "public and private" spaces but about the deep penetration of private space by public space to the extent that private space becomes conditional, and decrepit. The "private" has ironically become contingent on the "public". Decisions about what to consume no longer represent the conscious choices of private, interest-seeking, and wealth-maximizing individuals but are instead cultural symbols and social signs of the political markers of late modernity that are grounded in foundational fantasies accruing to the family and education, public rhetoric and personal narrative, and reconstructions of public space.

As far as clean-up goes, this thing is pretty easy. Everything is top rack safe, but rinses off easily right after use. The item that takes the longest is the strainer. With a steady stream of water, a small toothbrush, and your own method, you can get it clean in about 3 minutes. For lazy people like me, that's an eternity but for some reason, I don't mind doing it. A couple of strawberry seeds made their way into the teeth of the blades, but they weren't too difficult to remove. I needed a pin to get at one once, however. From what I have read of other juicers, clean-up is not as "easy" as it is on this one. So, I'm not in a hurry to upgrade just yet. We're pretty happy with this little guy so far.
If you are curious about juicing and don't want to spend a lot of money, this is the guy to get. If you're worried about it going out on you, get the warranty.
Ps: Small tip: When juicing a leafy green like kale or spinach roll them up like a cigar. It helps get the most juice out of the leaves. Happy juicing!
Update: Little guy is still juicing a year later. Would diffidently recommend for the cheap health nut. (3 years later and I just bought a new juicer, although this one still works just fine)

Go for the R2 version...
I'd say it was because all the seemed to be offering that was new was a CD of wedding songs. Not a particularly attractive special feature. There's a commentary on the current release. How much other bonus features really exist for an independent movie that was a surprise hit?
The TV show was awful. I didn't even make it through the first episode. But the movie was pretty good. It did make me sick that it was as big a hit as it was, but it was still good to see an art house movie get wide into the public consciousness.
I never did like the show. Thought it was dodgy.
Interest in that movie dropped off the face of the earth about 6 months after the DVD release. That coupled with the poor response to the tv series probably didnt help.
I loved it. Too bad now. I was looking forward to the soundtrack that I never got to get.
I wasn't gonna buy the film anyway.
It was decent, not something I would wanna buy though.
It was decent, not something I would wanna buy though.
Why? Why did they cancel the special edition of My Big Fat Greek Wedding? I was holding off on the first release because I heard of this.

Objective This study investigated the association between psychological symptoms, such as features of reactive attachment disorder (RAD), and learning difficulties among international adoptees in Finland.
Methods The data for this study came from the FINnish ADOption (FINADO) study covering all internationally adopted children in Finland (n= 1450), with a response rate of 55.7%. The subsample consisted of 395 adopted children aged 9–15 (51.6% girls, 48.4% boys). Learning difficulties were evaluated by a screening questionnaire 'Five To Fifteen' and symptoms of RAD by FINADO RAD scale.
Results The parents estimated that one-third (33.4%) of the internationally adopted children had some, and 12.7% had severe learning difficulties, i.e. three and six times more than in normal population, respectively. RAD symptoms at the time of adoption were associated with learning difficulties at school age (OR 4.57, 95% CI 2.57–8.13).
Conclusions Learning difficulties are common among internationally adopted children in Finland and symptoms of RAD are associated with a child's learning difficulties.

Apple sold more iOS devices in 2011 than total Macs in 28 yearsA new breakdown of Apple's blockbuster 2011 notes that the company sold more iPhones, iPads and iPod touches in the 12-month span than it has sold Mac computers in the company's history.
The revelation was made this week by Horace Dediu at Asymco, who noted that Apple sold a total of 156 million iOS devices in 2011. That was enough to top the total number of Macs ever sold, which sits at 122 million.
As a whole, there have been 316 million cumulative iOS units sold to date. That means 2011 accounted for nearly half of all iOS devices sold by Apple since the platform launched in 2007.
Of course, the lead iOS device is the iPhone, which is likely to cross the milestone of 200 million units sold during the current quarter. Boosted by the launch of the iPhone 4S, Apple set a new record in the 2011 holiday season, with 37 million iPhones sold in that three-month span alone.
But Apple has also been surprised by the explosive success of the iPad. To date, 55 million iPads have been sold, a number that Cook admitted in a speech at this week's Goldman Sachs Conference exceeded even his most optimistic of expectations.
"To put it in context, it took us 22 years to sell 55 million Macs," Cook said. "It took us about 5 years to sell 22 million iPods, and it took us about 3 years to sell that many iPhones. And so, this thing is... on a trajectory that's off the charts."
iPad sales are likely to grow even more with the launch of a new model expected next month. Apple is rumored to hold a media event on March 7 to unveil the third-generation iPad, which is expected to feature a high-resolution Retina Display and the option of 4G LTE high-speed wireless connectivity.
On Topic: iPhone
- Apple rumored to launch 'iPhone 7' on week of Sept. 12
- Pokemon Go sets Apple App Store record for launch downloads, but US growth slowing
- 'Solid' forecast from Apple chipmaker Skyworks may bode well for 'iPhone 7' production

MICHELE NORRIS, host:
Today in Las Vegas, the Latin Grammys take the stage at the Mandalay Bay. This is the ceremony's 8th year, and there will be predictable big name stars are there - Ricky Martin, Gloria Estefan and others. But of all the categories, the one that caught our eye today was for best Latin Children's Album. Some of the artists are kind of cutesy. There's Acalanto.
(Soundbite of song "Vida De Bebe")
ACALANTO (Singer): (Singing in foreign language).
NORRIS: Strings for Kids.
(Soundbite of song "El Sueno Del Elefante")
NORRIS: Voz Veis.
(Soundbite of song "Como Se Llega A Belen")
VOZ VEIS (Reggaeton Group): (Singing in foreign language).
NORRIS: And then there's 8-year-old Miguelito.
(Soundbite of song "Mas Grande Que Tu")
MIGUELITO (Singer): (Singing in foreign language)
NORRIS: Miguelito is one of a handful of young musicians to bring the popular Spanish urban music of reggaeton to a younger audience. Reggaeton's lyrics can be raunchy, and some of the young reggaeton artists clean up their lyrics. But Miguelito takes a different path.
(Soundbite of song "Montala")
NORRIS: The video for his song "Montala" features the young rapper showing off his gold chain and a black bandana. In the background, a dozen women over the age of 18 furiously shake their hip.
(Soundbite of song "Montala")
MIGUELITO: (Singing in foreign language)
NORRIS: Miguelito's young star is rising. He was signed to reggaeton giant Daddy Yankee's label and toured with him this year. By the time he hits his teens, he and reggaeton could be considered old school.

Released: Aug 01st, 1995
Running Time: 51
Director: F J Lincoln
Company: Bizarre Video
Cast: Misty Rain, Erica Demure (aka Rowan Fairmont), Scott Baker, Ariana (I), Porsche Lynn, Nancy Vee, Shelby Stevens, Debi Diamond, Mike Dean
Critical Rating: Not Yet Rated
Genre: Specialty
This is pretty standard fem-dom/foot fetish fare, although the all-star cast cranks up the heat a notch. If you're into shoes, you'll love the broad selection these broads' feet are garbed in: everything from spiked high heels to platforms to thigh-high leather boots.
All the ladies in the cast eventually bare their foot flesh except Misty Rain and Nancy Vee. The Debi Diamond/Rowan Fairmont ped-fencing bout is the best. They suck each other's shoe heels as fopreplay, then Rowan gives head to Diamond's big toe while grinding her bare foot against the "Insatiable One's" pussy.
Ariana's verbal domination of Mike Dean while he worships her bare feet also warrants a "big toes up." Stock according to your past experience with this series.

"This groundless, vexatious lawsuit will be quickly thrown out under current law.
The US Attorney should strongly consider applying for monetary sanctions in this case, certainly against any lawyers involved, and against plaintiffs, as well, depending on their level of legal training and sophistication. This would compensate the legal system for this clear and deliberate waste of time and resources, particularly in this federal circuit.
Prop 8 has made it to the surpreme court based on this argument... it's really not groundless.

The problem with allowing gay marriage isn't so much about rights, but is a slippery slope. I for one am all about allowing civil unions. There is a big difference between the two, but isn't there a big difference between being heterosexual vs. homosexual as well? If we were to allow gay marriage, what happens when those who are religious and have a certain belief system are not willing to perform a gay ceremony? Will they be prosecuted for discrimination? Will churches who do not believe in these types of ceremonies be stripped of their rights? If you believe it won't happen you are indeed fooling yourself.

"...marriage between a man and a woman is ordained of God and that the
family is central to the Creator's plan for the eternal destiny of His
...we warn that the disintegration of the family will bring upon individuals, communities, and nations the calamities foretold by ancient and modern prophets.
We call upon responsible citizens and officers of government everywhere to promote those measures designed to maintain and strengthen the family as the fundamental unit of society."
Whether or not this is politically sensitive or correct, the end result is going to be the same. This country is now in a new fixation with the gay marriage issue while behind the scenes, the nation is falling apart fiscally as well as morally. This is the new bandwagon to jump on, it's true. But it will have ugly, unforeseen consequences.

@worf --
"Come on people! Sue Utah? Where do you think Utah would get the money from? The tax payers.
Why make people pay for your wants?"
Sueing the state (whatever state you live in) is a time-honored tradition, especially in civil rights cases, under the 14th Amendment. This is one way for people to have their voices heard, when they feel the state is acting unfairly or against the US Constitution. And remember, these people are taxpayers, too.
A few recent cases from the last couple of years include:
1. CA -- treatment of non-English speakers
2. FL -- voter purging process
3. AL -- anti-illegal immigrant law
4. VT -- nuclear power regulation
There's many many more examples out there.
There's nothing "dishonest" about people sueing the state. They are simply fighting for what they perceive to be their rights, as every US citizen has the right to do.

"I want to marry my cousin!"
"I want multiple husbands!"
"I want to marry my dog...AND my cat!"
Can you people give us a break? The question is about two consenting adults who want their union recognized. Nothing more than that.

I have stated it once, I will state it again: marriage is not a right, it's a privilege. And all Men and Women are created equal--but that doesn't mean their desires should be equal too.

Wouldn't the easier solution for this couple be: move to a state that has already legalized gay marriage and save your time and the time it will take for the case to be processed and rejected?

A1994--"But it will have ugly, unforeseen consequences."
Ugly true--
--but only unforeseen by the increasing numbers being duped, and who are being convinced to blithely stick their heads in the sand.......
Many can see the sad and ugly consequences loud, clear and easily.

Correct me if I'm wrong because I don't live in Utah but I do know that the state is predominantly LDS and that they have a high concentration of Christians with such laws. Now you would think people would stop moving to Utah and trying to change it's laws about marriage, alcohol, etc., knowing full well before they get there that these laws are in place. If you want these types of "freedoms" and I use the terms loosely, then why not move to a more liberal state which favors your beliefs?? You can't go into a Muslim country and try and change their laws! I agree, all people should have certain liberties and rights across the board whether homosexual or heterosexual, but you move to Utah because you enjoy the lifestyle, the people, the laws - move if you don't like it. Simple! Marriage is ordained of God between a man and a woman. It is written in the constitution by good faithful men. If you want to be together as a homosexual couple, good luck to you, but marriage is for a man and woman. You can call your union something else.

There is an intrinsically procreative purpose for marriage, and the legal definition of marriage should be framed from a child-centered perspective. Marriage exists to channel potentially procreative sexual relationships into enduring, stable, parental unions for the sake of responsibly producing and rearing the next generation. A genderless concept of marriage focused exclusively on the attachment of the two parties is essentially unconcerned with procreation. Our common sense tells us that God speaks to us through the natural design of our bodies which He created. He created both the male body and the female body. Those who choose to act out their gay or lesbian inclinations do so in obvious contradiction to the anatomical design of their physical bodies. It is biologically impossible for any two same-gender persons to carry out the great commandment to multiply and replenish the earth. It is biologically impossible for any two same gender persons to create families, the fundamental divine mandate for the rearing of children on earth.

@ james d. morrison: Good news for your daughter - when she is an adult, if she
still wants to marry her cousin, she can - provided they cannot have children.
But I am curious - what does a 5 year old wanting to marry her cousin have to do with gay marriage? Have you been discussing the issue with her?
And, sorry to disappoint - there is nothing unique or special about a 5 year old wanting to marry a relative - most children to through that stage. She will probably at some point decide she wants to marry you. This changing in affection and the general inability of children to understand the finer aspects of reality are why children are not allowed to enter marriage specifically or other contracts generally. When she is 14 and wants to get married to the boy down the street, you can give permission for that marriage. If she still wants to marry her cousin when she is 14, well, we know there are social harms associated with closely related individuals reproducing together, so unless one or the other is infertile, they will have to wait until they are past their child bearing years.

While I have very serious doubts that the lawsuits being discussed here will be
successful, I do pray for the day that my partner and I will be able to marry
and truly be one. Mark my words...It will happen (hopefully soon) and after the
births of my children, it will be the greatest day of my life.
As a former member (not a disbeliever), and one who is very careful about not disparaging the institution, I do find it ironic that if it were not for the efforts of the LDS church, Prop 8 most likely would have failed and therefore would not be before the Supreme Court today. Basically, the efforts of the LDS faithful have brought us, in no small way, to the cusp of hearing that marriage equality in this country may actually become a reality.

Regardless of your religion, if you believe in the Bible it talks about a woman cleaving to a man. Thus, man and woman, not woman and woman, or man and man. Yet, everyone is on this train of supporting same sex marriage. Not to mention, it takes a man and a woman to make a child, does it not? You and I would not be here today if our parents were of the same sex? Is that not a fact? Just a couple things to consider huh?

Currently I have code that does this:
W.Request.BasicAuthentication := True;
W.Request.Username := AOptionsPtr^.AuthUsername;
W.Request.Password := AOptionsPtr^.AuthPassword;
And if I have access to OpenSSL:
TmpOpenSSL := TIdSSLIOHandlerSocketOpenSSL.Create;
TmpOpenSSL.SSLOptions.Method := sslvSSLv23;
TmpOpenSSL.SSLOptions.Mode := sslmClient;
TmpOpenSSL.SSLOptions.VerifyMode := [];
TmpOpenSSL.SSLOptions.VerifyDepth := 0;
W.IOHandler := TmpOpenSSL;
From skimming the documentation for WinINet (yes, I know it is not Indy) it seems persistent connections is also required for authentication. I suppose this also goes for Indy? URL: http://msdn.microsoft.com/en-us/library/windows/desktop/aa384220(v=vs.85).aspx
I need to get this to work with SharePoint. The problem, however, is hat I have no intranet SharePoint server to test against. Thus I can not step through the code and see what works and what does not. However, I have a potential customer that can test it for me.
What more do I need to do to get above code working with SharePoint using Windows Authentication (NTML? SPPI?)
Will Indy automatically test and use proper auhentication?
do I need to set
W.Request.BasicAuthentication := False; for auto authentication/detection to work?
If multiple requests are necessary (with first response being 401) I assume I need to add support for this in my own code when making a GET request? (To set authentication mode and make a new request?)

Is there a way to prove that the sum of the arithmetic progression $a_1, a_2, \dots, a_n$ can be calculated by $\displaystyle s_n = \frac{n}{2}(a_1+a_n)$?
Yes, providing this is an arithmetic progression, so the change between each term is constant.
I find this chart sufficient to make the point
Use Gauss's grade school trick. Sum this array in two different ways, row-first and column-first.
$$\begin{array}{ccccc} a_1 & a_2 & \cdots & a_{n-1} & a_n \\\ a_n & a_{n-1} & \cdots & a_2 & a_1 \end{array} $$
Row-first sum $\: = 2\ s_n.\ $ Column-first sum $ = n\ (a_1+a_n)\ $ since each column sum is constant (by hypothesis $\ a_{i+1}-a_i\: =\: a_j - a_{j-1}\:$ so $\ a_{i+1} + a_{j-1}\: =\:a_i + a_j).\:$ Hence $\:s_n = n\:(a_1+a_n)/2.\:$ Transposing the above array yields the following graphical representation (for the case $\: n = 6)\,$ which is frequently presented as a "visual proof". Below I show it's essentially the same as above.
$\qquad\qquad\qquad\qquad\quad a_1\ \ \color{blue}{\boxed{\qquad\color{black}{\phantom{a_n}}\qquad }}\color{red}{\boxed{\phantom{\ a_n}}}\color{red}{\boxed{\phantom{\ a_n}}}\color{red}{\boxed{\phantom{\ a_n}}}\color{red}{\boxed{\phantom{\ a_n}}}\color{red}{\boxed{\phantom{\ a_n}}}\color{red}{\boxed{\qquad\color{black}{\phantom{a_n}}\qquad }}\ \ a_6$
We calculate the area $A$ of the rectangle in two different ways. Assuming the rectangles are $1$ unit high, then $\:A = 2\,s_6\:$ where $\:s_6 = a_1+\:\cdots\:+a_6\:$ is the area of the entire blue figure - which is equal to its red reflection. On the other hand, the rectangle has height $\,6\,$ and width $\:a_1+a_6\:$ so $\:A = 6\,(a_1+a_6).\:$ That the rows have constant width follows from the fact that, by hypothesis, the squares have constant width $\:w = a_{i+1}-a_i\:$ for all $\,i.\:$ So the operation that changes a row to that below, by changing the first red square to be blue, does not alter row width, since it amounts to subtracting $\,w\,$ from the red length $\,\color{red}r\,$ and adding it to the blue length $\,\color{blue}b,\,$ which preserves their sum since $\,\color{blue}{b+w}\color{red}{-w+r}\, =\, \color{blue}{b}+\color{red}{r.}\,$ Thus this "visual proof" - when made rigorous - amounts to precisely the same purely algebraic proof given above.
This trick of pairing up reflections around the average value is a special case of exploiting innate symmetry - here a reflection or involution. It's a ubiquitous powerful technique, e.g. see my post on Wilson's Theorem and its group theoretic generalization.
You can find analogous visual proofs, similar to assembling puzzle pieces, in Conway and Guy's The Book of Numbers, e.g. the following one about triangular numbers.
Remark $\ $ Here is another simple example from this now deleted question
How to prove that the number $$1^{2015}+2^{2015}+3^{2015}+\cdots+2015^{2015}$$ is divisible by $2015$.
Hint $\ $ If $\,f(x)\,$ is a polynomial with integer coefficients that is odd, i.e. $\,f(-x) = -f(x),\,$ e.g. $\,f(x) = x^{2015},\,$ then $\,f(n)+f(-n) = 0,\,$ so applying the above Gauss / Wilson reflection
$\qquad\qquad\begin{align}{\rm mod}\,\ 2k\!+\!1\!:\ \ \color{#c00}{2k\equiv -1}&,\ \color{#0a0}{2k\!-\!1\equiv -2},\ldots,\ \ \ \color{#a0f}{k\!+\!1\equiv -k}\\ \Rightarrow\qquad\ \ \ f(1)&\ \ \,+\,\ \ f(2)\ + \cdots + f(k)\\ +\ f(\color{#c00}{2k})&\!+\!f(\color{#0a0}{2k\!-\!1})+\cdots+f(\color{#a0f}{k\!+\!1})\\[4px] \equiv\quad f(1)&\ \ \,+\,\ \ f(2)\ + \cdots + f(k)\\ f(\color{#c00}{-1})&\ +\ f(\color{#0a0}{-2})\ +\cdots+f(\color{#a0f}{-k})\\[4px] \equiv\quad\ \color{#c00}0\quad & \ +\quad \color{#0a0}0\quad\ \ + \cdots +\ \ \ \color{#a0f}0 \end{align}$
Note $\ $ Inserting into the sum the term $\,f(0) = 0\,$ then the sum is over the complete system of residues $\, 0,1,2\ldots {2k},\,$ and the reflection method amounts to replacing this by the symmetric system $\, -k,\ldots,-1,0,1,\ldots, k,\,$ where the reflection about the midpoint $\,0\,$ is given simply negation $\, n \mapsto -n \pmod{2k\!+\!1}.\,$ Such reflection (involution) symmetry is ubquitous, e.g. at the heart of Wilson's theorem in its various forms.
Above we used standard congruence arithmetic rules, esp. the Polynomial Congruence Rule $\, A\equiv a\,\Rightarrow\,f(A)\equiv f(a)\,$ for any polynomial $\,f(x)\,$ with integer coefficients. In your case we have that $\,f(x) = x^{2015},\,$ which is odd, so the Hint applies.
This is valid only for arithmetical progressions, i.e. for sequences $(a_n)_{n \geq 0}$ with the property that $a_{n+1}=a_n+r,\ \forall n \geq 0$, where $r$ is a real constant.
To prove this for an arithmetic progression, you proceed as follows: $$a_1+...+a_n=a_0+r+...+a_0+nr=na_0+r\frac{n(n+1)}{2}=\frac{n}{2}(2a_0+(n+1)r)=\frac{n}{2}(a_1+a_n).$$
I think the question about how to get the form of the formula for the sum is different from the one about how to prove it. You may have been able to get an idea for the motivation of the formula according to other answers.
Here I would like to mention that to actually prove the statement, your need mathematical induction.
I'm not entirely certain what you mean here, but I'll give an answer based on my interpertation of your question.
Now, $S_n$ can be rewritten in terms of $a_n$ (i.e. $a_1+d(n)$):
$$S_n=(a_n-(n)d)+(a_n-(n-1)d)+...+(a_n-(2)d)+(a_n-(1)d)+(a_n) \Rightarrow 2S_n=n(a_1+a_n) \Rightarrow S_n=\frac {n}{2}(a_1+a_n)$$

Cruel Portrait of Brooklyn Museum Director Displayed in Staten Island Borough Hall
SI Live video still
Scott LoBaido, a Staten Island painter, describes himself as a "Creative Patriot." According to his website, his most ambitious works have been the world's largest version of the American flag (he claims) and a project where he painted 50 flags on one rooftop each state. He's also a religious Catholic and was so offended by the Brooklyn Museum's exhibition of David Wojnarowicz's "A Fire in My Belly," a video that features a shot of ants crawling over a crucifix, that he decided to take matters into his own hands. LoBaido painted a portrait of Brooklyn Museum director Arnold Lehman nude and sitting on the edge of a truly icky green toilet bowl and tried to hang it in the museum himself. He was removed by security.
But the portrait has found a new home -- in Staten Island Borough Hall.
The portrait was unveiled earlier this week and it hangs outside Borough President James P. Molinaro's office, according to SI Live.
SI Live quotes Molinaro saying that the painting is "very fitting for this office." Molinaro, like LoBaido, is Catholic and was offended by the mildly subversive Wojnarowicz video.

On the phone this morning, Molinaro told the Voice that "I think it's a beautiful piece of art. I've known Scott for a long time, he's a nationally known artist."
As for whether he agrees with the painting's, um, statement: "I agree with the painting that it's a beautiful piece of art. I don't have to go beyond that any more than they have to go beyond what they have done," he said. ("They" meaning the Brooklyn Museum.)
But with a little prodding, Molinaro did go beyond: "I was more than offended," he said. The Brooklyn Museum's decision to display the video was "an act of blasphemy to the Christian population. The artist has a perfect right to do that. But museums such as the Brooklyn Museum should not have accepted it," he said.
Neither LoBaido nor the Brooklyn Museum were immediately available for comment. To check out LoBaido's charming portrait, simply pay a visit to the borough president's waiting room, where SI Live reports it is displayed in a "prominent place."

Slow to turn into a side street and it seems to go into neutral, upon acceleration the engines revs and it doesn't engage a gear, then when does engage it may shift 2-3 times in succession. In stop and go traffic its bad.

I develop and maintain small intranet web apps written in JSP and Java. They run on a Resin web server, without dedicated httpd like Apache.
Before performing maintenance, I activate a very simple Ajax message to urge users to logout.
What I want is, while I do maintenance, a user trying to log in to that particular app to see a "Sorry, temporarily out of service" page, while all other web apps running on the same web server are available as usual.
What are some best practices in this situation?

This is a fun twist on enchiladas! The flavors came together so nicely. We enjoyed the extra creaminess from the cream cheese. I made homemade enchilada sauce to use - I smothered the sauce over the top of the enchiladas and then added the cheese. Thanks for sharing!

Besides The Olympics, What Will $50 Billion Get You?
Russia is reportedly spending nearly $50 billion on the Winter Olympic Games in Sochi. That is an Olympic record. And according to the website BuzzFeed.com, it's almost five times Hollywood's domestic box office.
Now let's try to put that nearly $50 billion price tag for the Sochi games in context. And we've turned to the website BuzzFeed for help with this. Our last word in business today is: $50 billion.
That's enough to buy all 32 NFL teams, we're told.
Or it's more than the entire economy of Costa Rica.
INSKEEP: It is almost five times Hollywood's domestic box office.
MONTAGNE: It's enough for 18 Oprahs.
INSKEEP: Although, can you really put a price tag on Oprah? I don't think so.
INSKEEP: Anyway, that's the business news on MORNING EDITION from NPR News. I'm Steve Inskeep.
MONTAGNE: And I'm Renee Montagne.
