That reminds me - got a lovely Christmas gift via e-mail of all the songs from Where Is Your Heaven?, an acoustic folk album written and performed by an Orthodox nun, Mother Katherine (Weston) in Indianapolis. This isn't the modern RC hymnal or CCM but good music well performed, worthy of the old New York coffeehouses with Bob Dylan, Joan Baez and Joni Mitchell.

Finger Pain in BJJ and What to Do About It
"My Fingers Hurt..." I get a lot of emails, tweets and messages from BJJ practitioners about fingers hurting all the time.

Taking Responsibility for Your Own BJJ Training
A Guest Article by Kaeli Sweigard When you choose your actions, you choose your consequences. I used to work with "at risk" youth, and this was something I constantly re-iterated to them.

Top 10 Throws and Takedowns for BJJ
If you do BJJ or submission grappling then you should have some ways to get the fight to the ground.

Retaining Rings
MW Industries, Inc. manufactures custom, precision-engineered retaining rings (also known as coil rings, coiled rings, snap rings, round wire rings, circlips, square section rings, rectangular section rings, custom shaped section rings, or tapered section rings) that are available in various end configurations and used in multiple applications.
Function of Retaining Rings (or Snap Rings)
Retaining rings are designed for use on shafts or in bores. The ring installs into a groove, thereby creating a shoulder to accurately position and retain other components of an assembly. The retaining shoulder is created when the ring attaches itself to the bore or shaft, typically by snapping into a groove.
Categories of Retaining Rings
The two major categories of retaining rings are internal and external. Internal rings are assembled inside a cylinder where the ring fits inside a hole (or bore). External rings are assembled on the outside (or external) of the shaft.
Retaining Rings vs. Traditional Fasteners
The advantages of using retaining rings include their ease of assembly, low cost to manufacture, and accuracy of positioning when compared to traditional fasteners. Retaining rings only require a groove. This is an advantage over
traditional fasteners that require threaded components, mating threaded holes, access holds, and counter-bores. Retaining rings function with a minimal amount of surface preparation to either the shaft or the housing.

An American frigate, tracking down a ship-sinking monster, faces not a living creature but an incredible invention -- a fantastic submarine commanded by the mysterious Captain Nemo.Suddenly a devastating explosion leaves just three survivors, who find themselves prisoners inside Nemo's death ship on an underwater odyssey around the world from the pearl-laden waters of Ceylon to the icy dangers of the South Pole . . .as Captain Nemo, one of the greatest villians ever created, takes his revenge on all society.
More than a marvelously thrilling drama, this classic novel, written in 1870, foretells with uncanny accuracy the inventions and advanced technology of the twentieth century and has become a literary stepping-stone for generations of science fiction writers.
About the Author
Jules Verne was a French writer and pioneer of the science fiction genre through novels like Twenty Thousand Leagues Under the Sea, Around the World in Eighty Days, A Journey to the Center of the Earth, and The Mysterious Island. A visionary, Verne wrote about air, space, and underwater travel long before the ability to travel in these realms was invented, and his works remain amongst the most translated, most continually reprinted, and most widely read books of all time. Jules Verne died in 1905 having paved the way for future science fiction writers and enthusiasts.
In a career spanning more than seventy years, Ray Bradbury, who died on June 5, 2011 at the age of 91, inspired generations of readers to dream, think, and create. A prolific author of hundreds of short stories and close to fifty books, as well as numerous poems, essays, operas, plays, teleplays, and screenplays, Bradbury was one of the most celebrated writers of our time. His groundbreaking works include Fahrenheit 451, The Martian Chronicles, The Illustrated Man, Dandelion Wine, and Something Wicked This Way Comes. He wrote the screen play for John Huston's classic film adaptation of Moby Dick, and was nominated for an Academy Award. He adapted sixty-five of his stories for television's The Ray Bradbury Theater, and won an Emmy for his teleplay of The Halloween Tree. He was the recipient of the 2000 National Book Foundation Medal for Distinguished Contribution to American Letters, the 2004 National Medal of Arts, and the 2007 Pulitzer Prize Special Citation, among many honors.
Throughout his life, Bradbury liked to recount the story of meeting a carnival magician, Mr. Electrico, in 1932. At the end of his performance Electrico reached out to the twelve-year-old Bradbury, touched the boy with his sword, and commanded, "Live forever!" Bradbury later said, "I decided that was the greatest idea I had ever heard. I started writing every day. I never stopped."

SundanceTV, as the Sundance Channel recently rebranded itself, has been on fire over the last year, with a terrific lineup of moody, character-driven dramas, including Jane Campion's New Zealand saga Top of the Lake; the haunting Jean-Paul-Sartre-meets- The-Walking-Dead zombie yarn, The Returned; and its first original scripted production, the homegrown Rectify, about a man whose conviction for raping and murdering a teen is set aside after he spends nearly two decades on death row.
The cabler's second original production, The Red Road, is equally heavy with atmosphere. We get a lot of loaded stares, creepy furtive glances, and half-enunciated threats. While it's a diverting, if slow-moving mixture of crime drama and gloomy soap opera, it doesn't measure up to its predecessors.

DiDio & Lee Says DC Will Take the Time to Do "Watchmen"/Rebirth Story 'Right'
Comic Books
I have been a huge fan of Drew Weing ever since I read his Set to Sea, a graphic novel told entirely in full-page panels, so it's great news that he is launching a new webcomic, The Creepy Casefiles of Margo Maloo. With just four pages up so far, he has already set up an interesting story: The lead character, a kid named Charles, is objecting crankily as his hippie parents move into a decrepit former hotel in a new city. Weing's detailed art is perfect for the story he is telling, and this comic looks like it will be kid-friendly but fun for adults as well. Jump on now so you won't have to click through the archives later!
It's time once again for another round of What Are You Reading?, kids. Today we welcome special guest Daniel Merlin Goodbrey, creator of Necessary Monsters, The Last Sane Cowboy and more.
To see what Daniel and the Robot 6 crew have been reading, click below.
Rather than try to write a summary of my HeroesCon 2011 experience, I have opted this year to share as many photos as possible. My camera was out-of-commission yesterday so all photos were taken during the second day of the show (Saturday).
AdHouse Books announced on their blog yesterday that Duncan the Wonder Dog, by Adam Hines, has won the Lynd Ward Graphic Novel Prize. This is the first year for the prize, which is sponsored by the Penn State University Libraries and administered by the Pennsylvania Center for the Book, which is affiliated with the Center for the Book at the Library of Congress. The judges award the prize, which consists of $2,500 and a copy of the Library of America's two-volume set of Lynd Ward's graphic novels, to the best U.S. or Canadian graphic novel published in the previous calendar year by a living author.
Duncan sold out in print back in January, and AdHouse has published it as a digital graphic novel while waiting for the new books to arrive. Hines has also posted Show One at his blog, although he mentions plans to take it down this month when the print edition becomes available again.
Fantagraphics notes on their blog that Drew Weing's Set to Sea is a runner-up for the prize. The Center for the Book people haven't sent out an official announcement yet, but the internet runs faster than the printing press. On that note, it's interesting that both these book awards went to graphic novels that have significant digital releases—and in fact, are both available in their entirety online. It seems like the opposite of Ward's handmade, low-tech ethos, but really it isn't—handmade by their creators with minimal editorial interference, webcomics really are the new woodcuts.
(Via The Beat.)
Drew Weing has finished his nautical adventure Set to Sea, bringing the story neatly back around in a circle. Told in a series of beautifully drawn single panels, Weing's comic is the story of a sea-loving poet who gets shanghaied and learns the real thing is rougher and yet more beautiful than he had imagined. Fantagraphics has published a lovely print volume, and Weing is selling the original panels as well. Each of these panels is a self-contained image in a nice size and format for framing, and Weing has a fine hand with the pen, so at $145 each, they are an extraordinary bargain. So go, read, and browse!
Joey Weiser is giving readers a variety of choices in order to read his latest work. In catching up on Weiser's work, you currently have three choices: Cavemen in Space (distributed by AdHouse [PDF preview here]), Mermin (his mini-comic series with two issues released so far about an adorable fish-boy); or Monster Isle (his weekly webcomic, which he told me, was "inspired by Japanese Kaiju monsters, and it's a lot of fun to make"). The bulk of our interview focuses upon Cavemen in Space ("A caveman named Washington and his prehistoric tribe have been torn from their era and placed aboard 'The Wheel,' a futuristic space laboratory…")–but we also touch briefly upon the initial response to Mermin. My thanks to Weiser for taking the time to discuss his work.
Tim O'Shea: The main appeal to Cavemen in Space (for me) is that many of the Cavemen–transported to a future time, become accustomed to the new world/dynamics to varying degrees. Had you always intended to have that juxtaposition–or was that a nuance to the characters that evolved as the story developed? I was really pleased with the character arcs for Madison and Jefferson.
Joey Weiser: In this case, I came up with the characters first, and the story just formed around them. I wanted to work with a large cast and give them all stories that intertwined. The goofy concept of Cavemen in Space is obviously playing with opposites, so that was a core part of the characters and from that I realized how they would interact with each other and what developments I would want them to have by the end of the book.

Carberry seeks England opening
Michael Carberry believes an England debut in Bangladesh would be the culmination of one long journey and hopes it will mark the beginning of another.
The left-handed Hampshire opener could make his senior international bow in the two-Test series next month, in place of rested captain Andrew Strauss.
Carberry would likely partner stand-in skipper Alastair Cook at the top of the order. However, the 29-year-old's route there is in stark contrast to Cook, who was rushed into the Test side aged 22.
Carberry's career began at Surrey, but a lack of first-team opportunities in a side packed with international stars saw him move to Kent in early 2003.
Although he made his mark in the limited-overs game, Carberry could not pin down a place in the championship team and joined Hampshire at the end of the 2005 season.
There he gained the first-class action he craved, and his run-scoring eventually forced him into Test contention when late last year he was summoned from the England Performance Programme as cover for Paul Collingwood.
Collingwood recovered from a dislocated index finger to play in the final two Tests against South Africa, but Carberry was next in line when Strauss was given time to recharge his batteries.
"It's my first senior tour and the opportunity is there to make my debut as well," enthused Carberry, who will play limited-overs games for England Lions in the United Arab Emirates before travelling to Bangladesh where a Test debut could await.
"I'm looking forward to it. It's been a long hard slog to get here. I'm very excited and looking to put my best foot forward if and when the time comes."
Carberry, who featured for England Under-19s in 1999 and 2000, made his first-class debut in 2001, a couple of years after deciding to pursue a career with Surrey.
Although frustrating times at the Oval and with Kent followed, that original decision has now been firmly vindicated.
"It's obviously an exciting time," he told ecb.co.uk. "For 12 years this is what I've been working towards.
"I've done all the hard work, the training, the moving clubs. This is what it is all geared towards really, being able to represent my country at the highest level of the game.
"If and when the call comes, it will be a very, very proud moment for me and my family, my friends and people who have been there on the journey with me."
Carberry's decision to join Shane Warne's Hampshire soon paid dividends when he was chosen for England A's tour of Bangladesh in early 2007.
He only made one appearance, but took his chance with a second-innings hundred against Bangladesh Cricket Board Academy.
"I know what to expect," said Carberry, who enjoyed a prolific England A tour of India a year later. "The wickets are pretty low and slow. You have to be a very good player of spin out there as well.
"Having a couple of trips to India and Bangladesh with the Lions in previous years would have helped my game against spin. I'm looking forward to the challenge really.
"Bangladesh will be formidable in their own conditions. They won't be pushovers. They gave India a pretty good run in the Test series they've just played recently.
"I'm looking forward to it. Like I said, it's been a long time. I've been working towards this since I took up professional cricket. I'm just looking forward to finally getting going."
Part of Carberry's appeal to England's selectors is his prowess in the field, where he promises to make the tourists an even more athletic outfit.
Now that ace-fielder Collingwood is often required to stand at slip for both seamers and spinners in Tests, the right-handed Carberry could become a fearsome presence in the ring.
"That's the nature of cricket now. You have to be two-dimensional, Carberry added. "You're not going survive in first-class cricket now if you are a poor fielder.
"I see it as something I work equally as hard on as my batting really and I think it's important, especially at international level where you've got to hold your chances really.
"I've noticed in the limited experience I've had in the England set-up so far, we talk a lot about taking the half-chances as well. That's what's required sometimes at the highest level.
"Players are that good that you have to hold onto the screamers sometimes. I've been blessed with the skills to be a good fielder. It's something I don't take for granted.
"I make sure I work pretty hard in training to make sure my skills are up there. It's about going there totally 100% prepared.
"It's no different to walking out there for Hampshire. I'll train equally as hard to make sure I'm fully prepared for going out there."

Since I've installed a new theme, the galleries aren't working anymore... if you click the image, that single image just pops up in a new *window* (not popup) and the arrows are displaying.
What could have caused this, the plug in or the theme? Do you have any ideas to the solution..? I worked so hard on it :(

Synthetic platelet helpers set to save lives
23 August 2012 Research
Nanoparticles that help to rapidly build clots could save many lives by buying doctors valuable time at the scene of an accid...
Not only does the airflow direct the electrospun fibres, it also helps to clean the target
Cyanoacrylates, which are also found in superglue, can be applied to wounds to prevent blood loss. However, daubing glue onto wounds can result in serious bleeding through cracks in the glue film. Spraying glue onto wound sites ensures an even coverage but can lead to complications like tissue adhesion.
Kai Jiang, a doctor and professor of surgery at the Institute & Hospital of Hepatobiliary Surgery in Beijing and Yun-Ze Long, a nanotechnology expert at Qingdao University, have combined their expertise and modified an electrospinning technique with an air pump to blow electrospun glue fibres onto a wound site to form an adhesive film for use in surgery.Jiang, Long and their team tested their approach on a pig liver resection, a procedure where parts of the liver are surgically removed, exposing a large wound. The airflow cleans the wound before the electrospinning whips a charged jet of a cyanoacrylate polymer solution into ultrathin fibres. These fibres form a nanostructured web which acts as a leak-proof barrier to avert further bleeding.
The technique was tested on a pig liver resection (download the paper for real photos)
John Lee, a doctor and specialist in internal medicine and technology at the National Taiwan University Hospital, is impressed by the live pig liver resection results. However, 'there are still several challenges in translating the technique into clinical practice such as ensuring consistent quality and quantity of electrospun fibers under various clinical conditions,' he adds.
The group is now working to improve their device and investigating its safety and suitability for other applications as well as testing other biocompatible polymers.

great pump
good price - what needs to be said.
my favorite pump
- Familiarity: I've put it through the wringer
I have not had the same experience as Joel. Of all the (many) pumps I own or have owned, the head on this one is the ONLY one that has 1) really gripped well without air leak and 2) not ripped off the cores of my tubes. My wife (who, admittedly, forces me to pump up all tires) has given up on the other pumps and had me buy a second one of these.
This Floor Pump Blows (and not in a good way)
It's a throw back to being a kid when we had a crappy floor pump we bought at a garage sale. Except that pump cost me $5 compared to $75. The base is somewhat unstable. It's hard to engage with a presta valve and resulted in my wife breaking at least one off. However, the worst part is that if I go above 110 PSI the air flows back into the pump leaving my tire lacking the air it needs and deserves.

Could you obsess about race a little more in the future, Erica? Thanks.
This is absurd...and racist in it's own right.
Could you be more obnoxiously sarcastic Brad? Like, maybe, not witty at all and please word it at an 8th grade level. Thanks.
2: I don't think those words (absurd and racist) mean what you think they mean. Either that or you're just wrong. Heh.
Carollani says: LEAVE ERICA ALONE!!
I'm voting for Richardson, the only person to have a Native American on staff. This makes Tonto smile.
I'd rather be concerned over the level of intelligence in their staffers rather than their race. Sheesh, there's bigger fish to fry but i guess its one lame way to differentiate candidates that pretty much are all different shades of the corporatist agenda.
Do Native Americans have to use the ballot, or can they use smoke signals?
I completely agree that various racial groups deserve fair representation in policymaking. I'm far less keen on treating the presidential campaign as though it were a contest to see who can hire the most nonwhite people. Is this really supposed to say that Clinton is definitely better than Obama or Richardson on racial issues by factor X? All four of the top campaigns there have hired racial minorities disproportionate to their presence in the US population, FWIW.
What is the right answer? Least whites? Most blacks? If you have the minimum number of minorities, do you get credit for extras? Does Hillary get to count all her Asians? Just 'cause, isn't that like cheating? Shouldn't some of her Asians count as white? Do all the non-whites count the same? Even if they are men?
I'm confused and I'm requesting that this all be spelled out more clearly for me. I like the bar graph. Can you make more bar graphs that answer my questions? Thank you, Slog! God bless you, Slog!
This thread is a pretty good example why I urge you never to vote for a white man again. BallardDan and Brian in Seattle won't notice because they're colorblind... Or maybe they would notice if it was suddenly rich white men who had no political power?
This thread is a pretty good example why I urge you never to vote for a white man again.
Step aside, folks - jamier's here to tell you how to vote. Oh, and by the way, you're not allowed to vote for non-rich white men, either, so don't think you've got a loophole there.
They spelled Giuliani wrong.
Comparing the number of minorities and women in presidential campaigns is pretty stupid. But then, so's the fact that Giuliani has no minorities and only one woman. What the fuck is he thinking?
What year is it that hispanics are supposed to become the majority race? Once that happens, tsm, will you care whether any of the presidential candidates have a white staffer, or will you be content like current non-racist African-Americans with your group's one senate seat?
I'd vote for Romney before I'd vote for Jamier.
What year is it that hispanics are supposed to become the majority race? Once that happens, tsm, will you care whether any of the presidential candidates have a white staffer, or will you be content like current non-racist African-Americans with your group's one senate seat?
LOL, non sequitur. If and when Hispanics become the majority, it will not surprise or disturb me in the least to see them holding a majority of campaign jobs. Not would I completely ignore the policies and track records of candidates and simply vote by counting white heads. Because that would be, well, stupid.
Any other questions?
5: It was just a coincidence that I found both of your comments to be retarded.
tsm: Nobody's ignoring candidates' policies and track records. The type of people running a candidates' campaign is one factor out of many to consider when evaluating a candidate. Is Mr. Poe also stupid if he likes a candidate a little bit more because the candidate or some of their staffers are gay?
There's also a difference between a group holding a "minority" of political power and "essentially none." There are 2 asian senators, 2 hispanic senators, and 1 black senator. Guess what race the other 95 are? It wouldn't bother you if there was 1 white senator and 95 hispanic senators? It wouldn't bother you if only one presidential candidate in the 2052 elections has a white staffer, and someone comments, "do whites need to use a pen to vote or can they use Crisco?" It would bother me.
These comments really bugged the crap out of me. The reason that having a staff of various races matter is because having people of various different races provides various points of view. Which is incredibly important when someone is RUNNING FOR PRESIDENT.
shouldn't it bug even more crap out of you that people would rather judge our candidates by things that serve as surrogates for real issues, rather than the real issues themselves?
i see your point, but it's really sad that we're more fixated on trivial things like this, seemingly only because they can actually be quantified, then regurgitated as though they exist in a 1:1 ratio with unquantifiable things THAT ACTUALLY MATTER. things that unfortunately take more than a pretty, colorful chart to explain. catch me drift?
@18 -
Nobody's ignoring candidates' policies and track records.
Hey, you're the one who said "Never vote for a white man again".
The type of people running a candidates' campaign is one factor out of many to consider when evaluating a candidate. Is Mr. Poe also stupid if he likes a candidate a little bit more because the candidate or some of their staffers are gay?
But analysis like this is just too shallow. Giuliani's all-white staff is problematic, granted, but how on earth does this graph say anything of substance about, say, Richardson vs. Clinton?
To the extent one cares about the racial makeup of campaigns, it's largely because all-white staffs are probably more likely to not think about minority issues when they make policy. But that's the point - what these staffs do is what matters, and what they look like is just an imperfect measure of what they might do. A Republican candidate could hire every black Republican he can find but still fight anti-discrimination statutes, for example.
WOW! I'm completely floored by the fact that people do not find this more concerning.
Playing race off as an insubstantial issue in political decision making is a complete denial that the history of the United States has been founded on racist politics. This isn't about forming a campaign staff with equal representation - it's the idea that people actually have to PROACTIVELY WORK to get equal representation in something as important as a campaign staff.
@7, 21: The fact that people question whether or not these candidates are looking for "intelligent" people to staff their campaigns just confirms the push to deny the supremacy of white people in U.S. politics. Do we really think that Clinton - who has been described as one of the more savvy politicians in this race (especially on Slog) - would hire unqualified or less than intelligent staffers just because she wanted to make the graph look really pretty and colorful?
here's the deal: yes, these numbers are troubling, esp giuliani. however, these numbers are merely SUGGESTIVE, not CONCLUSIVE. whoever created this graph only did half their job, and it was the easy half. this data should be presented with an analysis of where the candidates actually stand on minority issues, otherwise it's just a pretty graph.
personally i find it even more troubling that people are willing to accept this kind of half-assery as legitimate political analysis.

Blue Cloth Napkins
Match Your Restaurant's Decor with Blue Cloth Napkins
Setting out colored cloth napkins on your dining room's tables is an easy way to make your restaurant, banquet hall, or venue look more upscale and sophisticated. Each napkin is made of durable materials, like polyester or polyspun, so you won't need to purchase napkins again soon. These materials are also more wrinkle and stain-resistant than cotton napkins, meaning they'll continue to look clean and professional every time they're used. Read more
These blue cloth napkins match perfectly with many different decors, especially seafood or other seaside restaurants. We carry cloth napkins in several different shades, including light blue, royal, and navy, to best match your existing theme. Check out our striped napkin options, which have only a small strip of color, to add an interesting pattern to your tabletop. You can also find napkins in different shapes and sizes to best fit the size and formality of your tables.

A couple of us (Jeff Sandquist, Jeremy Mazner, Michael Lehman, and me) recorded a show for .NET Rocks on Friday, with PDC05 as the topic. It'll be available on Monday, 6/20. We had fun with this show.
Someone (Carl?) asked us what the "vision" for PDC05 is... we more or less answered / rambled about that PDC is guided by "vision" on several levels:
"Platform" strategy: as seen at the PDC, mostly comes about as you might expect: top-down, from our senior executives. However, there's obviously a pretty strong influence as well from innovation at the individual / product team level... sometimes those people might see the forest (as opposed to the trees) better or differently from our execs. At the confluence of these two forces it can get pretty interesting at times.
As part of the "Platform" part of PDC05 planning, we sat down this week with a couple of VPs we happened to find around :-) and reviewed many aspects of PDC05, some in more detail than others.For instance, we lightly touched on aspects of our overall creative style for the PDC (you may have noticed it, we call it "string theory" :-) and the latest Community plans, including the 2 contests. We spent most of the meeting discussing how we'll communicate our strategy for the "Longhorn Wave" of the platform, and which topics should get covered in which keynotes. I'm not going to get into the details of that keynote planning... not only because we want it to be a surprise :-) but also because things will undoubtedly change & be refined in the coming months.
A goal for the "platform" strategy is to yield a framework that can be used to guide the content process. We want everyone involved to be able to answer the question, "What is this PDC about?" and "Where is the platform going"?
(A note here about how to prepare for a VP-level review... it's a 5-step process:
If you don't follow these steps, you just won't be in the right frame of mind when you sit down with your VPs. And remember, it's imperative that you follow these steps in the stated order)
"Content" strategy or plan: Jeremy has blogged a bit about how, among other things, we're "rededicating" this PDC to deep drill-downs and strategic "inspections" that could only be delivered at the PDC. This thinking came about by reviewing feedback from previous PDCs, and by conducting not a few interviews with people around the company, people who've been around for a while and know the "heritage" of the PDC. The thinking here has evolved a bit since January, as the Track Advisors / Owners have internalized it in the face of hard decisions about sessions and topic coverage. One line of thinking has the track owners being very consciencious about how many sessions should be dedicated to "Longhorn Wave" technologies, and how many should be focused on stuff beyond that (answer: very heavily weighted towards the Longhorn Wave stuff). Another line of thinking has the trackowners thinking hard about having too many "onesie" sessions, where we try to cover an entire technology / product is a single breakout session... we're worried that it's hard to go deep or otherwise do the product / technology justice in a single session.
Compared to PDC03, when I was content owner, it's clear to me that for this PDC the thinking and process is a bit sharper. While I think we did a pretty good job in '03 :-) I'm thinking that attendees will benefit from the extra focus this time around.
Community aspirations: I'm using the word "aspirations" here because I think one should be careful when using the word "strategy" when it comes to the Community. I think Channel 9 can maybe be thought of as being strategic in its influence, but it really was an experiment when it launched. At PDC03, we tried out a number of Community-oriented things that were new at the time, but with 2 years distance now, they seem quite natural (or even quaint :-). For '05 we will try to incrementally improve on these things; I say "incremental" because "Community" has a life of its own... we want to be respectful of that. Jeff and the Channel 9 team have engineered a new PDC-focused area on Channel 9, and plan videos, podcasts, forums, and some fun contests. Those guys have some add'l things planned, but we're not sure of our ability to pull 'em off, so we're not ready to share yet. :-)
For the first time in a while - I think - we also had what amounts to a top-down vision for "Demand Generation" (term used to describe the marketing activities focused on PDC registration) and for the "Creative Style". The "String Theory" creative style, for instance, was inspired by the abstract notion of how developers "see things differently" than other people, and the power of Community when developers interact with each other. Thus the "Developer Powered" tagline.
Obviously the key reason for executing well on the Platform, Content, and Community vision-things is that we think it'll result in a more useful & valuable PDC for attendees. When it comes to the demand generation and creative style work... well, we've been having fun with all this and we hope you enjoy it and that the PDC is a more fun experience as a result.

|Compact camera: Canon PowerShot SX130 IS
|At a glance:
|Extreme 12x optical zoom,Fantastic image quality,Double the weight of the competition,Uses regular AA batteries
|Ultra-zoom in a compact but weighty body.
When I found you could pick up a PowerShot – one of Canon's "performance" range of digital compact cameras – within a $300-$400 price range, I jumped at the chance to review it.
The PowerShot SX130 IS (let's just call it the SX130) is just small enough to be a compact camera. It's not pocket-sized by my definition, though you could probably squeeze it into a pair of extremely baggy cargo pants. Loose jackets are probably fine too, if you don't mind looking like you're carrying a gun.
Weight-wise, the SX130 is quite heavy at 310 grams with battery, memory card and strap. Bulky for a compact camera, but pretty weightless in DSLR terms.
Not that you'll get DSLR performance, but it certainly beats the average compact hands-down.
That bulkiness I was poking fun at for, oh, the last two paragraphs? Well, that did allow Canon to pack in a pretty damn nice 12x optical zoom lens, the equivalent of 28-336mm in 35mm film terms. Though the SX130 features the same 1/2.3-inch (7.7mm) sensor size as the other cameras on test, it puts the largest – and arguably best – lens in front of that tiny sensor.
Image quality is fantastic across the zoom range, from tight shots right out at 336mm to wide shots at 28mm. Images are crisp and clear, with very little noise and an amazing amount of detail. Colours are well represented, even under brilliant sunlight – skies tend to remain blue, rather than blanching out with over-exposure. Highly contrasted images have good dynamic range (detail in both the dark and light areas).
Performance in low light is excellent, even compared to the Panasonic Lumix FH3 with its significantly wider maximum aperture (f/2.8 instead of the SX130's f/3.4). I must admit, however, that coaxing the best low-light results out of the Canon required use of full-manual settings.
That, without a doubt, is my favourite thing about the SX130; full manual control. I'm not talking about the watered-down "manual controls" you find on most digital compacts. No, I mean direct control over aperture and shutter speed, as you'd find on a film camera or a DSLR. The SX130 also boasts full manual focus, a feature I've only seen before on Ricoh's excellent range of high-end compacts.
One oddity that some will love and others will hate is the SX130's use of AA batteries instead of the usual ultra-lightweight Lithium-ion cell. You know what? I like it. For your $400 you do get a pair of rechargeable AA batteries and a charger.
If you run out of power midway through a day of sightseeing, miles from your hotel room, what's going to be easier to find? A proprietary rechargeable battery that's sold uncharged anyway, or a pair of disposable AAs to last you the rest of the day? Point made.
Altogether, Canon's PowerShot SX130 IS offers a hell of a lot for a very reasonable price. If you don't need true pocket-portability, this little brick is a great choice.

'retrieve' is spelled incorrectly here. Remember: 'I' before 'E', except after 'C'.
Should this be reported as a bug? I'm investigating other problems sending password reset e-mails, and fixing this doesn't seem to have addressed any of my issues, so I'm not sure what impact it may be having or what fixing this might resolve for someone else.

Broken Cisterns
Before it all fell apart earlier this year, and before this summer's carnage in Gaza, the Israeli-Palestine peace process was already fatally flawed.
Before it all fell apart earlier this year, and before this summer's carnage in Gaza, the Israeli-Palestine peace process was already fatally flawed.
1. The Strange Nostalgia of 'Left Behind'
The rapture movie (out in theaters today) is—to borrow a phrase—neither hot nor cold. So why the re-make? We take a crack at answering.
"During seminary, I paid close attention to ways men acted in and outside the classroom. Playing by their rules helped me fit in…I guarded what I considered feminine-seeming parts of my personality — creativity, emotion, and relational ways of perceiving and acting. I got A's, but my soul was wilting."
3. WATCH: A Million Ways to Die in the U.S.
Jon Stewart puts concerns over ISIS and Ebola in perspective. "The American government has a sacred obligation to do whatever it takes to save American lives…unless it's stopping the things that are actually killing Americans."
Pope Francis faces no specific threat from Islamic State militants and will not be adding extra security measures on his one-day trip to Albania next week, the Vatican said Sept 15.
The Vatican's chief spokesman, the Rev. Federico Lombardi, said despite recent "worrying" events that had shocked the world, there was no specific threat to the 77-year-old pontiff as he prepared for his official visit to the majority Muslim country on Sept. 21.
Lombardi said Francis would use the same open-topped vehicle he uses to greet crowds in St. Peter's Square when he travels to the Albanian capital, Tirana.
"There is no reason to change the pope's itinerary," Lombardi said. "We are obviously paying attention but there is no need for concern or a change to his program in Albania."
Canadian folk bard Leonard Cohen reads lyrics from one of his latest songs — a gentle, melancholy reflection on life and hope.
2. How Back-to-School Shopping Reinforces Gender Norms — and How to Fight Back
For those of us with children heading to, or back to, school — one parent attempts to buck the gendered school-accessories market.
3. The Osteen Predicament — Mere Happiness Cannot Bear the Weight of the Gospel
"If our message cannot be preached with credibility in Mosul, it should not be preached in Houston." 'Nuff said.
4. Steven Sotloff Hid His Jewish Faith from ISIS Captors
"The secrets that couldn't be known about beheaded journalist Steven Sotloff during his captivity were revealed in detail Wednesday: The 31-year-old was Jewish, had dual U.S.-Israeli citizenship and apparently maintained his Jewish ritual life while being held by ISIS."
The Ice Bucket Challenge, or "IBC," needs little introduction. Over the past month or two, it's been the internet phenomenon of challenging friends, family and co-workers to participate in some combination of donating to the ALS Association, becoming educated about the disease, or dumping a bucket of ice-cold water over their head and video-taping it. The rules are somewhat (pardon the term) fluid—but basically, invitees are given 24 hours to respond and challenge up to three persons. I don't have precise numbers—they're still increasing—but ALSA has reported over 3 million donors and over 100 million dollars raised in the past few month. Not to mention the payoff of seeing your dear ones get soaked and squeal, shudder, or grin and bear it.
But I think it's also raised a second topic into public debate: the ethics of action and motivation. And even beyond the philanthropy going on, I think that's worth talking about, and I suspect it will be the Challenge's more enduring legacy.
A third American aid worker has been diagnosed with Ebola.
The missionary group SIM USA announced September 2 that one of its American doctors has been diagnosed with Ebola in Liberia. The doctor was treating pregnant women and those giving birth in the capital city of Monrovia.
He was not treating Ebola patients in the hospital's isolation unit, however. The group said in a statement that it isn't known how the doctor was infected. The doctor isolated himself as soon as he developed symptoms, and he has been transferred to the Ebola isolation unit. He is doing well and is in good spirits, according to SIM USA.
In a related development, Kent Brantly, an American doctor earlier diagnosed with Ebola and now recovering from it, gave his first interview to NBC's Matt Lauer. Brantly said that on July 23, when he first became ill, he knew something was wrong.
"I woke up that morning and really I just felt a little off, I felt a little warm, I felt under the weather," Brantly said. "I took my temperature and it was 100.0, I think."
Brantly said he was thankful his wife and two children had left a few days before to attend a wedding in Texas. He said he was not aware that there was one night when doctors thought he would die, but he does remember a night when he felt he wouldn't make it.
"I felt like I was about to die and I said to the nurse who was taking care of me, 'I'm sick, I have no reserve and I don't know how long I can keep this up,'" he told Lauer.

Surrounded with the trappings of various "action sports" (A.S.S. stands for "Action Sports Sex"), an assortment of young, hot bodies have their cracks and crevices explored by a herd of pierced and inked Huntington Beach extreme-sport types.
The opener, set in a surf shop, is also the tape topper, as Caroline and Sabrina have their Continental orifices probed by some horny locals. Sabrina's very anal tryst with Jake Steed and Mr. Marcus is downright blistering, and includes a rousing bit of d.p. derring-do.
Then Shelbee Myne and Angelica de la Sol hook up with a couple of fellow snowboarders on the slopes of some Southern California ski resort, and are soon thereafter having their fore and aft plumbing pitilessly plugged. Hot, greasy anals and foamy facials highlight each pairing.
Back at the beach, Inari Vachs sinks to her knees and blows a bunch of guys Monica Lewinsky-style in a surfboard workshop, catching a load of lap lava in her hair from each.
Nice digital video, hot sex and surroundings which will appeal to the extreme sport crowd.

There is a small issue (a conflicting css?) when using jQuery UI Datepicker as you can see: link to screenshot
In the screenshot I am also using the Timepicker add-on for the Datepicker but that does not make a difference.
This is something one could easily fix by self but may cause problems for some future users and plugin developers :) At least i guess so.

Inside pregnancy: How your baby hears sound
A baby in utero can hear sounds from outside the womb. That's why your baby can recognize your voice after birth.
For the full 3D video series, click here to download the Totally Pregnant App.
Video note: Contains medically accurate illustrations.
Show transcript
The music that Lia and Liron play for the baby penetrates the amniotic fluid and vibrates the fetus's eardrum. Sound waves are passed on to three tiny bones: the hammer, the anvil, and the stirrup. The cochlea, in the inner ear, receives the sound waves, encodes them into electrical pulses, and transfers them to the brain.
The voices the fetus hears in utero are impressed onto his memory, so that, for instance, he recognizes his mother's voice soon after birth.

By Ms. Rachel Clark (ACC )December 19, 2013
KAISERSLAUTERN, Germany - Leadership from the 409th Contracting Support Brigade here recently visited the German Federal Army Procurement Office in Lahnstein.
The group received briefings on the structure of the German Ministry of Defence as well as the structure of the procurement office and how it plays in the German procurement system.
"These site visits give us a sense into the most efficient and suitable approaches to acquiring, distributing, and maintaining supplies and services within Germany," said William Bailey, 409th CSB commander.
Discussions between the German army procurement offices, the Bundesamt fuer Ausruestung, Informationstechnik und Nutzung der Bundeswehr, and the 409th enables the two organizations to collaborate on issues relating to contracting methodologies in Europe.
The BAAINBw is currently restructuring and closely resemble the U.S. Army organizational structure with consolidating efforts and areas of responsibility.
Sven Hiscke, chief technology officer, BAAINBw, presented the group with different procurement examples and the process they are using to procure various commodities.
"We all took away new ideas and practices. We are relooking how we provide contacting support in Europe," said Bailey.

For those of you who have completed this, are there any challenges left, any enemies that could become dangerous?
There's still plenty of challenge at Master difficulty. Plus if you don't use any resist magic enchantments, mages can still hurt you pretty bad. Also, on master you don't one hit kill everything. Even with my swords that do 534 damage each I still can't one hit kill dragons, guards, giants and other higher level enemies.

I couldn't figure out what the guide button was, I prob should of just looked at the controls section in the game, but was too busy grinding out potions hahaha. Thanks! Great guide, that to me feels more like grinding then some sort of glitch, which just feels I dunno "clean" hahaha.
The guide button is the button with the xbox symbol in the middle of the controller. The one you use to bring up the friends/achievements/messages menus.

I can sell them for around 2,000-2,500 gold if I dual-enchant them with Absorb Health & Banish. I don't know if Paralyze/Banish would sell more, though.
It's recommended that you either invest in the merchant's business or increase their bartering price by 1,000 if you decide to sell these daggers, as most merchants most likely won't have 2,000 gold to give you for a single dagger.
Added the banish enchantment info into the guide. I've seen this enchantment a few rimes but never thought to test it out. It's not the rarest enchantment to find though (at least for me). I restocked the Khajit merchant in front of Riften 75+ times until I finally found a pair of boots with the muffle enchantment. Totally worth it though as muffle makes you a ninja...

I recently learned something about people like you and the market makers. You're manipulating the markets right now in a much heavier handed way than in the past. Using the Obamacare issue to yell doom and gloom and pushing for downtrending. This cranks up the VIX and you can make easy 5-10% swings in a trading day. Brilliant. I'm learning. Thanks for the education and it's definitely a money-maker. Too bad granny has to pay the price of selling into a weak market while bankers and traders clean up. CNBC puts lead analysts from the NYC firms on the air now for additional scare tactics.
Just look at the recent end of trading day closes. Obvious day-long manipulation with closing out positions to finish the days. Fantastic cash being made out there. I'm not doing as well as the Pros but it's actually very predictable.
Buy them dips. Also, if you have brass ones, trade the Vix-based ETFs and ETNs. UVXY is one nasty girl.

BELFAST, Northern Ireland (AP) - For years, it has been an open secret that Martin McGuinness - a minister in Northern Ireland's power-sharing government and a chief architect of its peace accord - was a man with a past.
Now, as McGuinness moves to publicly unveil his background as a high-ranking commander in the Irish Republican Army, the question is whether his disclosures will help clear the air or inflame tensions that already threaten the fragile peace.
On Monday, McGuinness gave a written statement to a tribunal investigating Bloody Sunday, one of the turning points in three decades of bitter sectarian strife.
On that day - Jan. 30, 1972 - British troops fired on Roman Catholic civil rights marchers in the city of Londonderry, killing 13.
Providing a statement to the tribunal is effectively an agreement to give testimony before it.
McGuinness is expected to be called to testify within the next six months, said a tribunal official.
No date has been set for his appearance before the panel, which has already taken testimony from dozens of witnesses.
McGuinness' testimony is expected to provide an extraordinary portrait of the inner workings of the IRA in the early days of its struggle to drive British troops from Northern Ireland.
McGuinness acknowledged that he was the IRA's No. 2 man in Londonderry.
He also said there were armed IRA men in the city at the time of the shooting, but that the fighters had agreed in advance the march should be peaceful.
McGuinness' statement says he took part in the march and was present when firing broke out, but denies allegations he fired the first shot, according to news accounts.

Expectations are for December auto sales to exceed one million units. This would be considered positive for Sirius XM (NASDAQ:SIRI) under normal circumstances from a subscriber acquisition perspective, and would help boost overall numbers that may have fallen short in October and November. I believe it is better below the surface than many would anticipate. As reported by Jessica Caldwell of Edmunds.com, December is typically a strong month for high end auto sales. These vehicles have not only the best satellite radio penetration rates, they have the highest acceptance rates as well.
Despite a historically manageable churn number, it continues to be a drag on Sirius XM Radio's subscriber growth. Even a modest monthly churn rate of 1.5% can mean a loss of 225,000 subscribers monthly, based on fifteen million self paying subscribers. That monthly loss is historically offset through the OEM market and subsequent conversions to self paying subscribers. Negative growth occurs when the churn rate is higher than the OEM conversion rate.
Recent news indicates not only a spike in light vehicle sales in December, but more importantly indicates a continued thawing in the credit markets. This thawing effect is occurring for the most part for consumers with exceptional credit only. This has been a theme for the past six to twelve months. From a Satellite Radio perspective, these consumers are more likely to continue their service and purchase longer term renewable plans than high risk individuals who are more worried about making their monthly car payments.
This should mean a reduction in self pay churn for Sirius XM, which would translate into accelerated subscriber growth going forward. What will the critics say then? The jury is still out on cash for clunkers conversions that were due in the recently ended quarter, yet the brand campaign will likely have resulted in better than expected results. Perhaps the critics can hold out hope in that area, until Sirius XM reports earnings in early to mid February. In the meantime, I suggest they use the black ink pen when making their quarterly predictions this month, and leave the red one alone.
Position: Long SIRI

"Only the parts of the Bible and Constitution we like, of course."
Please. The NRA are indirectly responsible for the tragedy of mass killings in America, by making massive killing devices freely available to criminals and mentally disturbed people. They're also directly responsible for covering up the epidemic by blocking any research on the topic by the CDC and others.
Would be great if the NRA protected our constitutional right to have an abortion. In New Mexico even in incest and/or rape, they pass a law that no matter how young, the baby .must live to be "evidence".
that is just cruel. all the anti-abortion people, if your uncle got your 10 year old daughter pregnant, would you really want to punish that child for being raped? Sounds like an Arab country to me.
Where in the constitution are these rights? I see the second ammendment… where is R vs W?
As of yet, I have not heard of any of the wicked abortion promoters addressing the rights of the unborn child. If the unborn is given his rights, there would be no abortions.
then soylent green has rights…
since soylent green is people
I bought the DVD of Soylent Green a few years ago after hearing it referenced. Great movie.

Activision files countersuit against No Doubt over Band Hero
Activision has filed a countersuit against No Doubt over its Band Hero suit against it, alleging a breach of contract and "unjust enrichment".
Last month you recall, No Doubt pulled a Courtney Love, complaining that players could user band avatars to play songs not performed or written by it. In response, Activision's claiming the band did not request that the avatars be used for only the band until after the game was already put to press.
"Activision admits that although it is possible to program a videogame whereby particular in-game characters can only be selected when certain songs are played, Plaintiff first requested this only after the "Band Hero" programming was finalized, had been submitted to all of the U.S. console manufacturers for approval and had been approved for manufacture by most console manufacturers", read a statement.
According to the Hollywood Reporter, The countersuit against the band is requesting that it provide Activision with "unspecified damages and interest, a return from No Doubt of all benefits and payments, an order for No Doubt to pay the full cost of this action and reasonable attorney fees, along with further awards and relief that the Court deems just and proper."
Basically, because they bitched and decided to sue, Activision wants the money it paid the group returned and then some.
It looks like it will get nasty. That or the judge will rule a kiss and make-up session or a battle to the death through kal-if-fee – we hope

- Hi, this is Simon Allardice. Welcome to Cocoa essential training. In this course we're going to build applications that run on Mac OS 10. That's what Cocoa development is all about. And to do this, we're gonna use Xcode, the development environment for creating, testing, debugging and managing Mac apps. You'll see a lot of Objective-C, the main programming language used to create these apps. And Cocoa development has a long history, so we're going to explore the common conventions and guidelines of programming Mac applications that have grown over the years.
Concepts like delegation and model view controller and how they're use in Cocoa. We'll also talk about what's new and up to the minute in Cocoa development now, sandboxing, gatekeeper, and more. And if those terms mean nothing to you now, that's fine. They will by the time we're done. And we'll go over the process of developing a Macintosh application, see what can and should be done with the user interface, talk about testing, debugging, and even publishing your app to the Mac app store, so let's get started.

In our comments section, David writes…
For the record: freedom is good — very, very good. Religious fascism is bad — oh so very bad.
Don't you think that burning embassies and threatening to behead cartoonists and demanding restrictions on free speech do more to "drum up anti-Islamic sentitment" than printing a dozen cartoons?
That's good to hear, David, but because your posts make you sound as if you believe the exact opposite.
And Eli & David: It's seems highly condescendinghey, maybe it's tad racist, tinged with some of that dreaded Orientalismto insist that Islamic protesters aren't angry about what they keep claiming to be angry about, i.e. the Danish cartoons, freedom of expression (which covers the freedom to offend and freedom to blaspheme), and the refusal of Western governments to assure them that it will never, ever happen again. I don't see how insisting that they're not angry about what they keep telling us they're angry about is somehow more respectful than taking the protesters at their word.
And their words go like this:
"Defending the prophet should continue worldwide,â Sheik Hassan Nasrallah, the leader of Hezbollah, told the crowd. "Let (U.S. Secretary of State) Condoleezza Rice, (President) Bush and all the tyrants shut up: We are a nation that can't forgive, be silent or ease up when they insult our prophet and our sacred values.â
"Today, we are defending the dignity of our prophet with a word, a demonstration but let George Bush and the arrogant world know that if we have to … we will defend our prophet with our blood, not our voices,â Nasrallah added… Nasrallah said there would be no compromise before Denmark apologizes and the European Parliament and individual assemblies in Europe pass laws that prohibit insulting the Prophet.
Note that Nasrallah has nothing to say about colonialism. Perhaps Eli and David need to dash over to Beirut and explain to Nasrallah that he's really upset about colonialism, not freedom of expression or a few drawings of his supposed prophet. Let us know how that trip turns out, guys.

There was a SO question with bad indented code. I edited it and it seems like (maybe, I'm not sure) I deleted a part of the question when edited it (I've cut, edited and pasted).
So how do I see the old version of the answer?
What is meta?
- Any Stack Exchange user can ask a question
- The community provides support, votes on ideas, and reports bugs
- Your voice helps shape the way Stack Exchange operates
Let's assume you've made a mistake when editing the question. First, you can go to the revision history of a question to see the various revisions made. An easy way to get there is to simply click on the timestamp of the "edited" notice of a post.
Within the revision list you can look at the various changes made. Of course you can correct any errors you notice with a simple edit like you did before. But in case your mistake is too big (or too complex) to correct, you can always roll back to a previous revision. To do so, simply click on the "rollback" link of the revision you want to step back to.
That should do the trick. Once everything is back to normal, you can then carefully reapply any edits you really wanted to make. So in summary, be careful when editing, but if you ever do screw up, don't worry. You can always go back.

Pink Tea Cup Closes -- But New Owner Plans to Re-Open It Nearby
You may recall that the 55-year-old Village soul food restaurant the Pink Tea Cup was going to close on January 3rd because of a decline in trade, and that fans of the place (including manager Vincent Pinkney) were collecting donations to keep it open.
The Tea Cup has indeed closed, but Lawrence Page, proprietor of the Actors' Playhouse on 7th Avenue South, says he scraped up the money -- according to both Page and former owner Lisa Ford, a whopping $400,000 -- to buy the Pink Tea Cup "brand," and that he'll reopen the restaurant somewhere in the West Village, hopefully by the end of February. He intends to keep Pinkney on in a management role.
Ford confirms the deal, and says her understanding is that the new Pink Tea Cup will be "within walking distance" of the old Grove Street site.
Money donated to the cause via the Save the Pink Tea Cup Facebook page and elsewhere, says Ebonie Johnson Cooper of the "Team Teacup" fundraising team, will be used to help set up the new place. Cooper says donations are still being accepted -- about $2,000 was raised at a Pink Tea Cup event this past weekend -- and a new web site will be set up soon at which donors can "buy a brick" on which their names will be engraved and implanted in the new restaurant.

The staff of the old Pink Tea Cup is expected to be retained at the new one.
Page, a filmmaker by trade who has "partnered" on other restaurants and once ran the J'adore bakeries in Manhattan, has no other restaurant holdings at present, but says he's working on a deal that will not only keep the Pink Tea Cup in the West Village, but add a "French bistro," to be called Le Bonne Boeuf, right next door, though that may have to wait till summer.
As to the Pink Tea Cup menu, "nothing's changing," says Page, though he "might add shrimp and grits and so on -- add-ons, not take-offs."
Page also says the Tea Cup wasn't shut because of a lack of business, but because of "bad accounting... the numbers didn't make sense, people weren't doing the right thing." He refuses to elaborate, but adds that as a ten-year Village resident he's eager to "bring the West Village back, add some more spice," and says "Lisa Ford gave me her blessings to keep the Pink Tea Cup going for the next 50 years."
Ford confirms the deal, and says she will indeed keep an eye on the new place, in visits from Atlanta, where she plans to retire soon. "We're gonna keep a close eye on those guys," she says. "It's a family heirloom, so we gotta protect it... I told [Page] he can expect to see me every six months, and when I come he has to pay for it."

AES E-Library
Real-Time 1/3 Octave Analyzer Type 3347
Modern acoustic laboratories require extremely versatile frequency analyzers. A one-third octave analyzer has been developed which provides visual readout on a -14- screen, graphic plotting and digital output programmable by a computer. Attention has been given to the statistical requirements of averaging times versus bandwidth relationship for random data. In one of its modes, the time constant varies inversely with frequency to provide 20 seconds averaging at 20 Hz. The theory of operation and application will be discussed.
