"Hephaistos," said Poseidon, "if Ares goes away without paying his damages, I will pay you myself." So Hephaistos answered, "In this case I cannot and must not refuse you."
Thereon he loosed the bonds that bound them, and as soon as they were free they scampered off, Ares to Thrace and laughter-loving Aphrodite to Cyprus and to Paphos, where is her grove and her altar fragrant with burnt offerings. Here the Graces bathed her, and anointed her with oil of ambrosia such as the immortal gods make use of, and they clothed her in raiment of the most enchanting beauty.
Thus sang the bard, and both Odysseus and the seafaring Phaeacians were charmed as they heard him.
Then Alkinoos told Laodamas and Halios to dance alone, for there was no one to compete with them. So they took a red ball which Polybos had made for them, and one of them bent himself backwards and threw it up towards the clouds, while the other jumped from off the ground and caught it with ease before it came down again. When they had done throwing the ball straight up into the air they began to dance, and at the same time kept on throwing it backwards and forwards to one another, while all the young men in the ring applauded and made a great stamping with their feet. Then Odysseus said:

The Soul Sessions
The Soul Sessions by Joss Stone
Released: Sep 2003
Label: Virgin Records
One listen to Joss Stone's The Soul Sessions and it's clear that the 16-year-old has more in common with old school Aretha than new school Britney. Soul-infused songs such as "All The Kings Horses" and "Super Duper Love" are the perfect vehicles for this teen's big, expressive voice.

I am sure they could, at a charge. What I am not sure is the outcome of the pattern change; are you going to lower the balmoral line to the bottom of the peak? or are you removing the peak and moving the balmoral line up? That SC pair's balmoral line is very very shallow and the only reason it works is the downward pointing peak to balance and give some depth to the shallow horizontal line.
Style preference. William I looks better to me... Much more classic.
How would the leather or construction be indestructible during winter?
By that logic, my $10 leather gloves from Home Depot must have very high quality as they survived more water and mud than any of my shoes. p.s., JL leather is much softer wearing than EG or G&G IME, but that could be due to variations in construction. I dont think they opt to use any lower quality leather but it just happens that my black pair feels is more wrinkle prone and less lustrous than my other SC or other high-end shoes. I did not make myself clear. Aside from...
Sun bleaching will like a very long time and could potentially dry up the leather... The easiest solution is to darken the lighter color shoe to match the darker color one.Acquired patina or time induced antiquing will make shoes turn lighter in color.What you have described is faux antiquing or applied patina.
Looks interesting but the leather quality is not high IME especially for black ones. And for some reason they don't take polish well.
Its definitely not; no one gives a damn.
Gawd even your sneakers are black...
I think their next shipment from SC is early March.Delays are inevitable given their LSBH store remodeling and personnel changes.I hope SC can do decent at Wingtip SF and Mr Car can visit SF more frequently than just an annual trip to LA.
That's more than $40k retail...

Turbo vs Naturally aspirated
By chillingrsx on 8/27/2013 12:19:57 PM , Rating: 2
I don't believe this is true with turbo have better gas mileage than the non turbo. If you look at the Acura RDX, it was the coolest thing ever when it first came out. A turbo 4 bangers CUV. It didn't do so well. So what did Honda do, switch it up a v6 and it's selling like hot cakes. I know because I own one. I did test drove the turbo and boy it was day and night difference. The v6 is more refine. Guess what, the v6 still have better gas mileage.

Yup, many of these forced-induction direct injection 4-bangers have great EPA numbers on paper, but in RL barely get 1-2MPG better than their V6 forebears. They also add a ton of complexity with the addition of turbos/HPFP along with worse NVH.

A lot of the reduced efficiency comes from forced-induction engines requiring lower compression ratios. It wouldn't be a problem if GM had not killed off Saab's variable compression ratio research just before it was ready for production.

You sure, I think you can put a 6psi turbo on any factory engine. When you start getting into 12psi turbos the engine has to be designed all the way around for the turbo. I'm pretty sure ecoboost engines are lightly boosted, don't know what they will do for the Z a 12psi turbo would be a lot more fun.

It has a lot to do with the engines compression. Secondly, you need to have the injectors/fuel pump able to supply the increase in fuel and thirdly the ECU mapped accordingly.
You cannot just bolt on a turbo running 6 PSI and have a bunch of extra horsepower without risk. Some engines this might be possible if you start using a higher octane fuel, though some engines the ECU might not cope with the change.
If you've got a high compression engine (11:1 etc) then you'll be riding the fine line of detonation even with low PSI.
In my experience and imho, you either by an engine that is turbo or you leave it NA. Don't turbo an NA engine unless you're doing a full house rebuild.

It really depends on the engine. If you've got something that's already pretty solidly built and has pretty big injectors but has a high compression ratio (for example a Hayabusa engine) then you can usually get away with just installing a thicker headgasket to reduce the compression ratio and you can use a turbo without knocking. On the other hand if you feel like installing a turbo in a Hayabusa you might consider seeing a psychologist.

By 91TTZ on 8/28/2013 5:08:24 PM , Rating: 2
I agree with you. The turbo engines usually have several subtle differences to increase reliability. Differences between the NA Z engine and the TT engine:
1. The TT has a lower compression ratio.
2. The NA Z has stainless steel exhaust valves while the TT version has inconel exhaust valves to withstand the higher exhaust temperature
3. The turbo version has different pistons with holes on the bottom for oil squirters to cool the bottom of the pistons
4. The oil squirters are different.
5. The fuel pump is larger to flow more fuel. This isn't on the engine but you'll need it.
6. The ECU is different and uses fuel maps that go beyond vacuum-0 psi.

It really depends how you drive, if you have a lead foot they do about the same but if you drive more mileage the turbo does better. When you are just humming along the turbo isn't really spooled up where a V8 always has the drag of a huge engine.

What are some recommended ways of dealing with namespace heavy xml documents without having to rely on the browser?
Background: I am handling wsdl/soap documents from Web Services with ajax. It is very frustrating when something like doc.getElementsByTagName("xs:complexType") behaves differently on a mobile cordova app in a tablet, and a chrome browser on the desktop. On some of the devices you have to strip the prefix, and on others you must include it. Another example of a problem is getElementsByTagNameNS on older browsers.
JQuery out of the box seems to make you use the prefix in the selectors as opposed to the actual namespace. This is a bit of a pain, because it is very common for the documents to use multiple prefixes for the same namespace.
Dojox.xml would require me to bring an entire framework to use alongside my existing JQuery code just to handle xml.
I am currently dealing with these issues on a case-by-case basis, but I am wondering if there is a better way.
share|improve this question
If you're stripping prefixes, you're almost certainly doing something wrong, but since you've not posted any code, it's hard to say what. Please show how you are loading and using the wsdl/soap in the Chrome browser. – Alohci Oct 4 '12 at 8:17
I am only stripping the prefix on browsers that have a broken getElementsByTagName() method that won't find the tag if i put the prefix in. Everything works fine in desktop chrome without the prefix stripped. The point was, I am trying to find good ways to parse and walk xml in js without the browser's "help". A library that eluded my searches before was xml for <script>, so I am looking into that now. – insipid Oct 4 '12 at 13:01

I have several UITextViews that contain numbers between one and three digits. I'd like these views to expand and shrink as the number becomes larger or smaller. At the moment the text is shrinking and the TextViews size remains the same.
I'd preferable like to do this using the xib file (I'm very surprised this isn't a meagre check box) but a coded answer would be great if this isn't possible.
share|improve this question
Did you check NSString -sizeWithFont: ? It must be somewhere at top search results when you are looking for iOs NSString size. – A-Live Oct 24 '12 at 20:30
I'll try that search, I've been searching for expandable UITextView and wrap TextView round text and so on. I assumed this would be a property of the UITextView and not the String within it. Thanks – Deco Oct 24 '12 at 20:31
AFAIK there's no such property of the text view, you can find the reference docs of UITextView at developer.apple.com to see everything at one place. What I tried to tell you is that you can check the text size when the delegate text-changed event is fired, then when you have the text size you can change the textView frame as you see it needed. – A-Live Oct 25 '12 at 10:13

I'd recommend using the contentSize property of the UITextView:
self.textView.frame = CGRectMake(self.textView.frame.origin.x, self.textView.frame.origin.y, self.textView.contentSize.width, self.textView.contentSize.height);

I added a file to the index with:
git add somefile.txt
I then got the SHA1 for this file with:
git hash-object somefile.txt
I now have a SHA1 and I would like to retrieve the filename of the object in the index using the SHA1.
git show 5a5bf28dcd7944991944cc5076c7525439830122
This command returns the file contents but not the name of the file.
How do I get the full filename and path back from the SHA1?

There's no such direct mapping in git as the name of the file is part of the tree object that contains the file, not of the blob object that is the file's contents.
It's not a usual operation to want to retrieve a file name from a SHA1 hash so perhaps you could expand on a real world use case for it?
If you're looking at current files (i.e. the HEAD commit) you can try the following.
git ls-tree -r HEAD | grep <SHA1>
If you want to find the contents in previous commits you'll need to do something more like this.
git rev-list <commit-list> | xargs -n1 -iX sh -c "git ls-tree -r X | grep <SHA1> && echo X"
share|improve this answer
Thanks for that. I didn't know you could do that – Jonathan Jan 20 '09 at 9:01
If you don't know what to put in for <commit-list>, --all will search across all branches in the repository. – EoghanM Sep 15 '11 at 13:53
My version of git ls-tree only accepts 1 revision as argument (git v1.7.4.4). I adapted yours to for rev in $(git rev-list --all); do git ls-tree -r $rev | grep $SHA; done | uniq – dboehmer Nov 1 '11 at 19:06
@halo: I'm fairly sure everyone's ls-tree takes a single revision argument, that's why I used -n1 with xargs. – Charles Bailey Nov 1 '11 at 21:59
@CharlesBailey: Ah, never knew about the -n option. Seems to be very useful. Thanks for the hint! However the command as listed above didn't work for me. Don't know why but luckily solved my problem in the meantime. – dboehmer Nov 2 '11 at 9:14

The following shell script is heavily based on http://stackoverflow.com/questions/223678/git-which-commit-has-this-blob and the answer provided by Aristotle Pagaltzis.
# go over all trees
| while read tree commit subject ; do
git ls-tree -r $tree | grep "$obj_hash" \
| while read a b hash filename ; do
if [ "$hash" == "$obj_hash" ]; then
echo $f
if $f ; then break; fi
if $f; then break; fi
I'm sure someone could beautify this script but it does work. The idea is to look at all trees commited and search for your specific hash.

Commit the file and note the sha1 hash of the commit object. After that use
git ls-tree <commit-sha1>
and you will get the names of the files with the hashes.
Check the manual pages for more options.

git rev-list <commit-list> won't include any commits which were for example removed by rebase -i and now are referenced only by reflog, so if blob is not found by command above you should check also reflog ie like this:
git reflog --all | cut -d\ -f1 | xargs -n1 -iX sh -c "git ls-tree -r X | grep <BLOB_SHA> && echo X"

Star Trek...
By ChristopherO on 10/7/2009 2:20:06 PM , Rating: 3
I read stories like this, and I laugh that all the contributing physicists to Star Trek are asked, "How would we solve this problem?" They usually get it right, and some number of years later we figure out how to solve the engineering challenges for the solutions they daydreamed about decades ago. In most sci-fi the sub-light drive systems are basically the same thing as the VASIMR using plasma for propulsion. (Assuming a few hundred years of progress, and a lot of dramatic license)
Still, what I find more humbling is how much we don't know that we constantly discover. There's always a better way of doing something. A lot of progress has been made *in space*, but I'm wondering what sort of limits we have for improving traditional chemical boosters. Besides the concept of a space elevator, getting away from Earth is just as costly as it has ever been. We can do more interesting things once we get away from here, but getting away is always the biggest problem. Certainly there are some cheaper boosters for small payloads (space ship one, etc), but we seem stuck in the same rut of paying a lot of money for anything large.

in star trek, our VASIMR engines were being powered by multi GW Fusion reactors, instead of lowly 200Kw levels.
thats some serious orders of magnitude difference. who knows.. if we can get such engines up to such power levels, they might just be strong enough to take something into orbit as well.

Actually, only the warp core uses an antimatter reaction, the impulse engines use their own fusion reactors to generate the electrical needs for the fusion rockets to function
Additionally, it has been assumed that the first vessels to travel at warp speed (i.e. The Phoenix) used fusion reactors to produce the energy needed, but it was abandoned when M/Am was finally perfected and was found to be more efficient

I am working on completely redeveloped website and sales system and have come up against this Max_connections issue surprisingly quickly.
I posted this question: Closing/Pooling MySQL ODBC connections Recently, but have since tried a few other things, still drawing a blank, but have more detail to offer...
I have a built a pretty complex sales process, and in creating an invoice I seem to be leaving 7 "processes" running each time. I have counted the number of times the data connection is used during the process of creating an invoice, and it is 7-9 depending on a few conditional values, so effectively the data connections are not closing at all.
To try to speed up coding, I have made a couple of functions which handle my database connectivity, so I will post these below.
Firstly, my connection string is:
"DRIVER={MySQL ODBC 3.51 Driver}; SERVER=mysql.dc-servers.com; DATABASE=jamieha_admin; UID=USERID; PASSWORD=pWD; OPTION=3;pooled=true;Max Pool Size=100"
The functions which I am using to open and close and do stuff with the database are as follows:
Function connectionString(sql As String, closeConnection As String) As OdbcConnection
Dim DBConnection As String = ConfigurationManager.ConnectionStrings("dbConnNew").ConnectionString
'this is getting the connection string from web.config file.
Dim oConnection As OdbcConnection = New OdbcConnection(DBConnection) 'call data connection
connectionString = New OdbcConnection(DBConnection)
If closeConnection <> "close" Then _
connectionString.Open() ' open data connection
End Function
This function gives me a OdbcConnection Connection String Object, which I can then use with:
Function openDatabase(sql As String) As OdbcCommand
openDatabase = New OdbcCommand(sql, connectionString(sql, ""))
End Function
This function creates a useable data object when called doing something like:
Dim stockLevel As OdbcCommand = openDatabase("SQL STATEMENT HERE")
Dim objDataReader As OdbcDataReader = stockLevel.ExecuteReader(CommandBehavior.CloseConnection)
'=== DO STUFF WITH objDataReader ==='
Having read up trying to ensure data connections were closing properly and so on I read that adding (CommandBehavior.CloseConnection) should ensure that the connection is closed when no longer used, but this doesn't seem to be happening, so I have created a separate "closeCOnnection" function, which looks like:
Function closeConn()
If connectionString("", "", "close") IsNot Nothing AndAlso connectionString("", "close").State = ConnectionState.Open Then
connectionString("", "close").Close()
connectionString("", "close").Dispose()
End If
End Function
This is called after every use of the openDatabase function and also within the functions I have created for insert/update and delete, which look like this:
Function insertData(InsertSql As String)
Dim dataInsert = openDatabase(InsertSql, "new")
End Function
I am not sure whether making all these functions is making my life easier or harder, but I was trying to reduce the code in each file where data acceess is required, but I'm not convinced it has.
However, it has made it clear where and when I am opening and closing the database (or at least trying to)
The processes are not being closed though. If I run my sale process through 3 or 4 times in quick succession, with these 7 processes still being live and added to, I get the max_connections issue.
Not completely understanding how database connections work, I am afraid I am at a loss with this and hence having to ask you... again!!
Can anyone tell me:
a) Is my connection string correct, is there a better connection available for MySQL?
b) Using this method, creating a ODBCConnection Object, is it possible to close it within a function like this?
c) Why is (CommandBehavior.CloseConnection) not closing the connection (this problem arose before I tried closing the connection manually)

Unfortunately the issues you are having come from your design and a mishandling of references to connections.
But don't worry. It's not difficult to fix. :-)
In VB.Net you always need to access data in the following pattern:
1. Create a connection.
2. Create a command which uses the connection (including adding any parameter values).
3. Open the connection.
4. Execute the command.
5. Close the connection.
There are variations of this, such as looping over rows before closing the connection, but generally this is how it works. In order to ensure that the connection is closed, VB.Net provides Try/Finally blocks and Using statements. You need to use one of these to make sure the connections are closed.
I'll show you what I mean by rewriting your methods in the proper manner.
Firstly, wrap your connection-creation code into a function.
Function GetConnection() As OdbcConnection
GetConnection = New OdbcConnection(DBConnection)
End Function
Secondly, write a function to create your command. (openDatabase is the wrong name, so I have changed it to CreateCommand).
Function CreateCommand(sql As String, connection As OdbcConnection) As OdbcCommand
CreateCommand = New OdbcCommand(sql, connection)
End Function
Now when you wish to execute a query or a statement in the database, you can follow this pattern:
Dim connection As OdbcConnection = GetConnection()
Dim stockLevel As OdbcCommand = CreateCommand("SQL STATEMENT HERE", connection)
Dim objDataReader As OdbcDataReader = stockLevel.ExecuteReader(CommandBehavior.CloseConnection)
End Try
Using the Try/Finally block means that the connection will always be closed correctly, even when an Exception causes the code to return before you expect it to.
An alternative shorthand is the Using statement (which effectively does exactly the same thing as the Dispose in a Finally block):
Dim connection As OdbcConnection = GetConnection()
Using connection
Dim objDataReader As OdbcDataReader = stockLevel.ExecuteReader(CommandBehavior.CloseConnection)
End Using
And if you want to wrap your InsertData function in a command, you can do it like this:
Dim connection As OdbcConnection = GetConnection()
Dim stockLevel As OdbcCommand = CreateCommand(InsertSql, connection)
Using connection
Dim result As Integer = stockLevel.ExecuteNonQuery()
End Using
I suspect that the first time you tried this, you were leaving your connections open without ever closing them. I also assume (from what you wrote) that you added the closeConn method to sort that out. Unfortunately, every time you call connectionString you are actually creating and opening a new connection, which you then call Close or Dispose on. The initial connection is never closed.
Hope that helps.

Whoops! Forgot to add the opening of the connection in my first edit. Updated now. – Richard Jan 9 '12 at 21:38
Not by my computer now, on my phone, but that looks exactly what I was trying to achieve!! Thanks, I'll try it out later and report back! :) – Jamie Hartnoll Jan 9 '12 at 22:27
OK, so far so good. Couple of questions: Firstly; When you need to connect to the database several times during the course of a script, would you open the connection at the top using connection and then close right at the end end using or would you open and close specifically each time it's required? Second, does end using ALWAYS close the connection? – Jamie Hartnoll Jan 10 '12 at 10:19
I only usually answer for votes (hint ;-)), but as you asked so nicely... When you use a connection pool you are actually doing the work of creating connections up-front, and grabbing a connection from the pool is very lightweight. So the best thing to do is to open and close again as soon as you can. The Using statement always calls the Dispose method on the resources passed to it, even when an exception occurs. Calling Dispose on a connection automatically closes it. – Richard Jan 10 '12 at 11:29
Brilliant. Voted up and accepted! Thanks so much, that was exactly the answer I was looking for! It's all working now and only one process can be seen at any time! :D – Jamie Hartnoll Jan 10 '12 at 12:00

i386 is just one the first model in the x86 familly of processors, and instructions sets.
For more informations, you might want to take a look at :
Quoting the second page :
The term x86 refers to a family of instruction set architectures[1] based on the Intel 8086. The term is derived from the fact that many early processors that are backward compatible with the 8086 also had names ending in "86".
And, quoting the first one :
The Intel 80386, also known as the i386, or just 386,[1] was a 32-bit microprocessor introduced by Intel in 1985. [...]
As the original implementation of the 32-bit extensions to the 8086 architecture, the 80386 instruction set, programming model, and binary encodings are still the common denominator for all 32-bit x86 processors.
share|improve this answer
so in short x86 is the same as i386 – X10nD Jan 27 '10 at 6:15
Only in the same sense that a skyscraper is an Empire State Building. One is an architecture and the other is an exemplification of that architecture. Do you understand the difference? – Jens Sep 6 '11 at 14:30
Actually the 8086 was the first in the series, as shown in the quotation. – tripleee Nov 26 '12 at 21:09
add comment
80386/i386 was the first 32-bit Intel processor. When it was introduced, lot of compilers started using i386 as a flag to turn code-generation for it, a name for various temporary files, and architecture denominations in file names. 80386 was succeeded by 486, 586 (aka Pentium) and the rest of the x86 architecture CPUs. But the i386 stuck around as a label and is used as an alias to x86 (just like amd is used as an alias to x64 architecture, even though there are Intel x64 processors as well).
share|improve this answer
I still remember having the i386 directory for WIndows NT 4 lying around on smoe hard disk to install Windows without having to find the CD :-). Back in the time when Windows supported MIPS and Alpha ;-) – Јοеу Jan 27 '10 at 6:21
add comment
It's just another synonym for the same architecture. It's not entirely accurate but the 80386 is the original implementation of the 32-bit x86 instruction set and the common denominator for all following CPUs of that arch.
share|improve this answer
80386 (i386) was the first implementation of the 32-bit x86 architecture (x86-32). There were also the 16-bit 80186 and 80286 (x86-16) before it. :-) – Franci Penov Jan 27 '10 at 6:11
@Fra: Argh, thanks. Still too early here ;-) – Јοеу Jan 27 '10 at 6:19

i386 is more specific than x86, but yes, they're approximately the same.

As the year wraps up, investors are not taking the foot off the pedal when it comes to filing 13Ds. All the recent concerns about Chinese small caps did not prevent private equity firm Warburg Pincus from adding on to its sizable stake in China Biologic (Nasdaq:CBPO), a maker of plasma based pharmaceutical and other related products. Warburg owns over 6 million shares, or over 24%. (For related reading, see Digging Into 13D Disclosures.)
Icahn's Newest Drama
Carl Icahn is back in the middle of an activist tussle after his publicized attempt to seize control of consumer products company Clorox (NYSE:CLX) failed. This time, the situation involves trucking and defense products manufacturers Navistar (NYSE:NAV) and Oshkosh (NYSE:OSK). Icahn happens to be a large shareholder in both companies. Yet hedge fund Owl Creek Asset Management, which owns 8.5% of Navistar, has publicly expressed concern over the possibility that Icahn would want to combine Navistar and Oshkosh. Share prices in both companies have been hit hard over the past year as concerns about defense spending and the overall economy have caused investors to abandon the businesses. Navistar shares trade for around $37, down from a high of above $70, while OSK shares are down from a high of about $40 to roughly $22 today.
Activist Investors
With the year ending on a somewhat positive note economically, 2012 will likely be a fertile year for activist investors. Investors will want to keep an eye on what happens in this sphere of investing. In additions to Icahn's endeavors, investors will want to follow the fortunes of retailer JC Penny (NYSE:JCP) and Canadian Pacific Railway (NYSE:CP), two targets of activist Bill Ackman. JC Penny recently signed a deal with Martha Stewart Living Omnimedia (NYSE:MSO) while Canadian Pacific made two new appointments to its Board. Both companies are clearly embracing change and that is usually a positive sign for shareholders.
The Bottom Line
With Europe's woes still casting a cloud of uncertainty going into 2012, stocks embraced by activists can be fertile opportunities regardless of market performance. (To learn more, check out Activist Investors: A Good Or Bad Thing?)

After last week’s cliffhanger, I was itching to find out what would happen to Shu now that he’s joined the Undertakers. Will he actually join them and forget about Makoto asked him to do? Or will he join with the pretenses to betray them all? Either way, things are about to get interesting! The episode starts off with Shu, Gai and Inori all returning to their headquarters, though Shu looks less than pleased about the whole idea. Once there, Gai asks about Kenji and his second-in-command says that he shows no signs of waking up, though they’re unsure of whether or not it’s because of the stress of having his Void used. Gai looks quite tired and irritated by this, but continues by introducing Shu to everyone again. He informs them all that since Shu has the Void Genome, all of their missions will be orchestrated around Shu’s abilities. Someone then asks him what their next step is and Gai tells them that they will be infiltrating the Leucocyte. He then brings up several hundred strategies based on patterns of what could or could not happen before instructing everyone to memorize all of them if they plan on joining them in the battle. One member pipes up and asks what happens if they don’t memorize everything and Gai simply states that they won’t have a place in the operation if they won’t take the time to seriously dedicate themselves to the plan. His second-in-command then addresses the worry of fatigue for the troops, but Gai rounds on him and is quite angry. He shouts at him, saying that he’d rather they be tired in the field than be fighting with their eyes blurry and glazed over from sleep. His second hand then backs off and leaves Gai to his business.
Meanwhile, Shu is scanning the room and notices a young girl in the balcony, happily chatting with another member. He seems surprised (as was I) to see someone so young as a member of the Undertakers. Shu’s attention is quickly drawn back to the matters at hand by Gai, who summons Ayase over to them. At first, Ayase is nervous but quickly becomes flabbergasted and possibly insulted when Gai asks her to train Shu for a mock battle. She finally relents when Gai tells her that she’s the only one he trusts to train Shu. Gai then tells Shu that he needs to pass the mock battle in order to become an official member of Undertaker, so he shouldn’t take the task lightly. Then, as quick as he was to give out orders, Gai leaves for his room to come up with a plan. Ayase then approaches Shu and tells him to get ready, but Shu tells her that he doesn’t want to make her feel obligated to train him since she’s in a wheel chair. She smiles and tells him that he’s sweet, but she can handle herself. When she holds out her hand, Shu grasps it, but is shocked when Ayase uses her wheelchair to knock his knees out from under him and slam him to the ground. She then angrily tells him that just because she’s in a wheelchair doesn’t mean that she can’t fight on her own. Shu apologizes and is ushered away to get changed, but as he leaves, we see the receiver that Makoto had given him lying on the ground. Uh oh! Some time later, we see Shu all dressed in the Undertakers’ uniform – and looking quite dashing, if I may say so – and meets Ayase in the hallway. He’s shocked to see her writing things in a notebook with the receiver he was given (apparently it also functions as a pen) and he tried to get it back from her. Instead of just giving it to him, Ayase makes a deal with Shu. If he can pass the mock battle in three days, he’ll get his pen back. If he doesn’t pass it, she gets to keep it. Unfortunately, Shu has no other option but to agree to her terms.
Su is then summoned to a small room where he meets Arugo Tsukishima, a second-year at a local high school. Apparently the boy is incredibly skilled at hand-to-hand combat and tosses a knife at Shu. Shu hesitantly asks if the blade is real and Arugo laughs, saying there would be no point in training with one that wasn’t real. He then tells Shu to come at him like he’s going in for the kill, but Shu promptly faints when Arugo charges at him. We then see a montage of Shu’s training, all of which highly amused me. When he’s running, Tsumugi scolds him for being so out of shape and Shu counters with the excuse that he’s into more cultural things than sports. He eventually becomes more accustomed to fighting, which is a good thing, since by the time the montage is done, all three days have passed and his mock battle is in the morning! As Shu wanders around the halls, he spots Inori sitting in a room overlooking the city, quietly singing to herself. He approaches her and comments on how it’s similar to how they first met. Inori doesn’t say anything, but Shu continues on about how he’s glad that he met her and that they’ll make a good team. As he reaches for her hand, she pulls her hand away and puts some distance between them. Shu is confused when Inori tells him that she’s not his friend and he shouldn’t get close to her. He asks her what she meant when she said that she was his and that they’ll be together forever. You can see his heart break when Inori says that Gai was the one who told her to say those things and she only did because she’s loyal to Gai. Shu tries to ask what she means by that and tells her that they can run away together, but Inori says that she can’t ever leave Gai’s side because he’s the one who gave her her name when she lost her memories. She then stands up and leaves, telling Shu not to get close to her. Shu sadly leaves the room and sees Inori entering Gai’s room. Upset, he runs down the hall towards his room but accidentally bumps into Ayase, knocking her out of her wheelchair. She shouts at him for not looking where he’s going, but quickly calms down when she notices how upset he is.
She asks him if he saw Inori and Gai and when Shu says yes, she tells him that everyone’s noticed them spending the night together like that two or three times a month, but no one wants to say anything. Shu asks her how she can stand it when she likes Gai, but she quickly denies any feelings for Gai other than respect. After a quick encouraging conversation, Ayase tells Shu that she doesn’t need help climbing into her wheelchair, but she’d like him to leave her alone since she doesn’t look very graceful doing it. Shu agrees and tells her good night before heading down the hallway. While Shu heads to his room, we see Gai and Inori together, but they’re not doing what everyone probably thinks they are. Gai looks like he’s getting a blood transfusion – for what reason, we don’t know yet – and he says that Inori looks just like “her”. Inori asks him if that bothers him and he says no. The next day, Gai and the young girl Shu saw when he first entered the Funeral Parlor head out to scout out an area to launch their attack and Shu gets ready for his mock battle. He’s facing Ayase, who is piloting her Endlave, and the whole goal of the mock battle is for Shu to get past her Endlave and safely into the building behind her without taking any hits. She warns him that even though they’re just using paintballs, they’re still hard enough to stun someone if hit. The battle begins and though Shu runs away at first, he spots Arugo and remembers that Arugo still has the ability to produce a Void. Ditching his paintball gun, he summons Arugo’s Void, which is a rod that surrounds the enemy in darknes. Using this, Shu is able to get to the car safely and wins the mock battle. Shu apologizes for cheating, but Ayase says that it’s alright because he just used what skills he has that makes him unique. After that, everyone congratulates him and welcomes him into the Undertakers; Ayase makes sure to hold up her end of the deal and gives Shu back his pen as well. The celebration is short lived as Tsumugi rushes in and informs everyone that the area Gai was scouting out was hit by a missile!
Opinions: As always, there was a good balance of plot, action and something to intrigue the viewer. I’m really curious about why Gai appears to need blood transfusions and how he’s able to tell what sort of Void people will be able to produce. Of course, there’s the ever-lasting mystery of Inori and her origin, though now I want to know who she looks like. Seeing Shu finally become part of the Undertakers was incredibly gratifying, but I wonder if he’ll turn on them and give Makoto the information he asked for or if he’ll betray Makoto. And of course, why does Gai want to take over that building so badly? Is there some sort of importance to it? Either way, it looks like we’ll have to wait until the next episode to find out what happens to Gai!
Score: A/A+

This was quite the episode. First it feels like Shu’s ability to trust others is broken down even further with Inori saying it was all orders. Of course hard to tell since she could have been ordered to say they were orders. Or it could be a mixed truth. Regardless if Shu had that pen they would have all been in trouble. Before that chat with Ayase he definitely would have used it.
I really liked Ayase’s character in this one. Went from simply the pilot who has a thing for Gai to a more full character. May have been teasing a bit much when Shu saw Inori go with Gai, but could just be payback from those two fooling around during the shooting training. In the end she didn’t blow up at him and helped give him the motivation to do what he could during that mock battle. At least during that moment she became one person he could accept and get along with. A long road to friendship, but I liked that scene.
The situation with Gai is full of mystery. Certainly doesn’t appear to be a good thing if he needs transfusions like that. And the identity of the girl that Inori looks like has to be key.
It was nice when Shu won and was accepted. People respond to actions and the more Shu proves himself the more people will appreciate him. Certainly seemed more likely as well that he wouldn’t use the pen since it’d betray those people who finally seemed to accept him.
In terms of why Gai wants to capture the building so badly I think it goes like this: The Leucocyte seems to be a weapon considering Tsugumi said it was fired at point delta. Looking at the insane damage to the area I can understand why Gai’s group would want to secure it or at least make sure their enemies can’t use it. It looked more like some kind of attack satellite from the image.
• nagicakes
It definitely was a pretty action-packed episode! I feel terrible for Shu; he finally found someone he could believe in and it may or may not have been a facade created by Gai’s orders. I don’t think that it’s completely has to do with Gai though. In episode 4, when Shu was arrested by GHQ, Inori was talking to Funnell and asking why she felt so cold before commenting on how Shu would probably know why. Coupled with the fact that she disobeyed Gai’s orders to rescue Shu, I think she does have some sort of feelings for him, even if she doesn’t understand them herself. Though it may not be romantic in any way, she definitely has strong feelings towards him.
I loved Ayase’s character! She’s sassy, witty and head-strong. The fact that even while she’s in a wheelchair, she can take someone down is awesome. I do think she was teasing Shu a bit too much, but I agree with what you said. It was probably payback for Shu trying to take it easy on her at first. It definitely feels like there could be a strong friendship between them, but we’ll have to wait and see how that goes. And you’re right; it was probably a good thing that Ayase had the pen with her when Shu saw Gai and Inori because he probably would have seriously contemplated using it right then and there.
As for Gai, I really want to find out what’s going on with him. He’s obviously not well, but he continues to push himself – and his team – daily. Inori is still a complete mystery, but maybe once we figure out who this girl she looks like is, we’ll have more of a clue as to who she is and where she came from.
The Leucocyte did look like a satellite instead of a building. 8|a I can see why Gai would want that under his control instead of letting GHQ have it, especially after seeing how much damage it can cause! I hope that we’ll find out what it’s all about in the next episode. And that Gai is okay!

Ancient forest found preserved under Gulf of Mexico waters
| July 9, 2013 at 6:10 PM
MOBILE, Ala., July 9 (UPI) -- Scuba divers say they've discovered an ancient forest of Bald Cypress trees preserved underwater in the Gulf of Mexico off the coast of Alabama.
The forest, covered by ocean sediments and preserved in an oxygen-free environment for more than 50,000 years, was likely exposed by 2005's Hurricane Katrina, Ben Raines, one of the first divers to explore the forest, told The forest of well-preserved trees covers an area of a half square mile off the coast of Mobile, Ala., at a depth of about 60 feet.
The trees could contain thousands of years of climate history for the region in their growth rings and reveal secrets about the climate of the Gulf of Mexico thousands of years ago, during a period known as the Wisconsin Glacial period, when sea levels were much lower than they are today, Grant Harley at the University of Southern Mississippi said.
Bald Cypress trees can live 1,000 years, he said.
"These stumps are so big, they're upwards of two meters (6 feet) in diameter --- the size of trucks," Harley said. "They probably contain thousands of growth rings."
Now that it's been uncovered the forest will eventually be destroyed by wood-burrowing marine animals, making it impossible to perform radiocarbon dating, Harley said.
Since being uncovered the forest has attracted fish, crustaceans, sea anemones and other underwater life burrowing between the roots of dislodged stumps, researchers said.

I think I spoke too soon when I said I had found a solution to the following problem. Is there any option I can use in codestriker.conf file to not have to use Authen::SASL.
It has a dependency on GSSAPI, which in turn has a dependency on Kerberos or more specifically, krb5-config. We don’t need any of this on our system, but we do need Codestriker, and have to keep up with new upgrades of Codestriker.

Chinese folk religion
From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia - View original article
Jump to: navigation, search
Chinese folk religion (traditional Chinese: or ; simplified Chinese: 中国民间宗教 or 中国民间信仰; pinyin: Zhōngguó mínjiān zōngjiào or Zhōngguó mínjiān xìnyăng) or Shenism (pinyin: Shénjiào, 神教),[1][2][3] which is a term of considerable debate, are labels used to describe the collection of ethnic religious traditions which have historically comprised the predominant belief system in China and among Han Chinese ethnic groups up to the present day. Shenism describes Chinese mythology and includes the worship of shens (神, shén; "deities", "spirits", "awarenesses", "consciousnesses", "archetypes") which can be nature deities, Taizu or clan deities, city deities, national deities, cultural heroes and demigods, dragons and ancestors. "Shenism" as a term was first published by A. J. A Elliot in 1955.[4]
Despite being suppressed during the last two centuries of the history of China, from the Taiping Movement to the Cultural Revolution, it is currently experiencing a modern revival in both Mainland China and Taiwan.[8][9] Various forms have received support by the Government of the People's Republic of China, such as Mazuism in Southern China (officially about 160 million Chinese are Mazuists),[10] Huangdi worship,[11][12] Black Dragon worship in Shaanxi,[13][14][15] and Caishen worship.[16]
Chinese folk religion holds aspects of ancestral belief systems such as animism and shamanism,[17][18] which include the veneration of (and communication with) ancestors, and energetic streams such as Qi, but also physical phenomena such as the Sun, the Moon, the Earth, the Heaven, and various stars, as well as communication with animals, such as Auspices from birds. Related practices have been held by the Chinese people for over three thousand years (such as written in Oracle bone scripts), and alongside Buddhism, Taoism, and various other religions for the past two thousand years. Even in ancient China, religion emphasized documentation and was quite bureaucratic in nature.[19]
Rituals, devotional worship, myths sacred reenactment, festivals and various other practices associated with different folk gods and goddesses form an important part of Chinese culture and Chinese spiritual world concepts today. The veneration of secondary gods does not conflict with an individual's chosen religion, but is accepted as a complementary adjunct, particularly to Taoism. Some mythical figures in folk culture have been integrated into Chinese Buddhism, as in the case of Miao Shan. She is generally thought to have influenced the beliefs about the Buddhist bodhisattva Guanyin. This Bodhisattva originally was based upon the Indian counterpart Avalokiteśvara. Androgynous in India, this Bodhisattva over centuries became a female figure in China and Japan. Guanyin is one of the most popular Bodhisattva to which people pray.
There are many public-domain folk religion texts such as Journeys to the Underworld distributed in temples (often without charge) or sold in gods material shops or vegetarian shops. Temples for Shenist worship are different from Taoist temples and Buddhist monasteries, being administered by local managers, associations and worship communities.

The Chinese Deities (Gods and goddesses)
There are hundreds of Chinese Deities (local gods and goddesses) as well as demigods. After apotheosis, historical figures noted for their bravery or virtue are also venerated and honored as ancestral "saints", xians, or heightened to the status of shens, deities. Song Dynasty registered them.[20] Deities reflect the Chinese imperial bureaucracy, and exemplify many characteristics of human officials, such as their fallibility.[7] The following list represents some commonly worshipped deities.
Places of worship
Organizational religions
There are also many controversial folk religious movements known as secret religions (zh:中国秘密宗教) with different names.[21][22]
Societal impact
Scholars have studied how Chinese folk religion-inspired society, elastic and polytheistic in spirit, provided the groundwork for the development of dynamic grassroots Chinese-style pre-modern capitalism in Song Dynasty China and modern capitalism in contemporary Taiwan.[23][24][25][26] Chinese folk religion with its ritual economy is also a key in the contemporary economic development in rural Mainland China.[27][28]
With around 400 million adherents Chinese folk religion is one of the major religions in the world, comprising about 6% of world population.[29][30] In China more than 30% of the population adheres to Shenism or Taoism. In Taiwan, Shenism is highly institutionalised under the label and the institutions of "Taoism", which is adhered by 33% of the population.[citation needed]
In Singapore about 8.5% of the total population is Taoist, and 10% of the Chinese Singaporeans identify as Taoists.[31] In Malaysia, 10.6% of Chinese Malaysians are Shenists-Taoists, corresponding to 3% of the whole country population. In Indonesia, Taosu Agung Kusumo, leader of the Majelis Agama Tao Indonesia, claims there are 5 million Taoist followers in the country as of 2009.[32]

Bud Selig has put his legacy on the line by tightening the screws on the players' union. If there's a strike this season, he'll be the one who takes the fall

Forbes, for example, came up with its own rosy figures this spring, disputing the ones Selig provided under oath to a Congressional committee, before which he was pilloried and, essentially, branded a flat-out liar. The esteemed Jesse Ventura, erstwhile XFL shill and governor of Minnesota-home of one of the teams the commissioner reportedly planned to eliminate—sat next to Selig, smirking and sniping at him. Unlike the overseers of other sports, baseball commissioners have become figures of fun.
Ironically, the players' association does not dispute Selig's figures that show a combined $232 million loss for major league teams in 2001. "However," says Gene Orza, one of the union's associate general counsels, "the conclusions we reach are quite different." (Neither Orza nor the union's executive director, Donald Fehr, would consent to speak about Selig or the ongoing negotiations.) It is also true that, historically, annual losses in baseball have been beside the point because owners could always unload their franchises for huge profits. But now?
"The bigger fool theory!" Selig cries out. "Gone. Gone. There are just no buyers. Nobody." Softly now, almost a whisper: "Nobody."
The recent sale of the Red Sox for $660 million appeared to contradict baseball's tales of woe, but, in fact, approximately $320 million of the purchase price went for 80% of NESN, the New England Sports Network. Thus, at a time when the NFL sold an expansion franchise—in fact, just a piece of paper—to Houston for $700 million, one of the two or three most hallowed franchises in baseball effectively cost $340 million, including ownership of a sacred stadium on prime Boston real estate.
Cable television has been, it seems, the poisonous ingredient that has so fouled fair competition and led to a situation in which the richest team has local operating revenues 22 times larger than the poorest. Another more pertinent example: The Yankees make almost twice as much money from radio as the Brewers—which remain in the Selig family, now run by Bud's daughter, Wendy Selig-Prieb—make from TV.
For the first time, as labor negotiations intensify, public perception seems to have shifted, and there is no longer the glib tendency to cry "a plague on both your houses." More and more neutral observers are accepting Seng's pessimism. John Moag, a Baltimore investment banker who specializes in sports franchises, last year offered a "positive outlook" for baseball. Now? Because of the looming labor impasse, he says, "Baseball owners are at the bottom. The curve is very, very bad, because the sport's economic structure is flawed. If there's a strike, values will plummet." Moag points out that as recently as 1994, NFL and MLB franchises were essentially selling for the same amounts. Since then, football franchises have come to double baseball franchises in value. Estimates of major league baseball debt run upward of $3 billion—credit lines primarily arranged by Selig, as sure as once he could get you GMAC financing for your new Oldsmobile.
"In a nutshell," Moag writes in his formal report on baseball, "the failings of baseball are escalating player costs and the fact that only a small minority of franchises can afford to lure and/or retain the best players." Sandy Alderson was the brilliant general manager who built championship teams in Oakland a decade ago. He left to become a vice president on Park Avenue because he wearied of the futility of discovering and showcasing players who would then be U-Hauled away by the richer teams. "In the old days the Yankees had access to everybody on the Kansas City roster," Alderson says, with only a touch of hyperbole. "Now they have access to everybody on every roster."
There have always been poorly managed losing teams, but ultimately what has changed in baseball, alone among team sports, is that now only a handful of clubs can give their fans reasonable hope. To Selig this is essentially a theological issue, even if it manifests itself as an economic one. After all, in what is always referred to as "the entertainment world," when a fan loses hope nowadays there are simply too many other diverting options for him to throw his "entertainment dollar" at. For baseball to survive, Selig believes, it needs greater revenue-sharing between the haves and the have-nots, as in the NFL; some kind of ceiling on salaries, as in the NBA; and the dissolution of up to a half-dozen weak-sister franchises so that the remaining clubs might thrive.
The players' association is the night nurse that stands in the way of the game's ingesting all these nostrums. And the players' association never loses. This time, though, at least the owners are presenting a fairly united front. "Yeah, we're closer together now," says Stan Kasten, the Braves' president, "but that's only because everybody's desperate, and it's gotten like something out of Kafka."
But if the dismal financial circumstances have created a climate in which the owners will at last get on the same Kafkaesque page, it has then been Bud Selig—talking, kibitzing, cajoling, commiserating—who has brought his company in misery together. He is of them, he has been with them in the arena—in the trenches, everyone says melodramatically—and so the owners have put their trust in their nondescript colleague who has been belittled as Bud Light and Kenesaw Molehill Landis. Make no mistake: Bud Selig holds the scepter. "I have more authority than any other commissioner ever did," he crows, "and I can count. I have the votes to do what I want to do."

I have a WinForms application and a Panel Control. The panel control has a VScrollBar control for vertical scrolling. Everything works fine except right now I have my VScrollBar maximum value set to 100. The problem is, I need the Maximum property to be about 4 billion, however, since Maximum is only an Integer, I can't set it to the proper value. So, my question is, how do I get around this? I know there are text editors and file viewers that claim to view more then 4 gigs of data, so how would a scrollbar in an application like that work?

A scrollbar is a GUI control. Innately, the number of steps it can display is limited to the number of vertical pixels on your screen. Therefore, you could consider setting the maximum value to anything above that to be simply for developer convenience, to make the math easier.
How do applications deal with scrollbars? In theory, you'd want to parse the file first, to find out how many lines are in the file, and use that as your logical maximum. In reality, reading 4 GB of data when the file is opened would kill performance, so that wouldn't work.
If I were implementing this, I would set the scrollbar maximum is set to a large value, say 10,000. When the scrollbar is used, the scrollbar value is divided by 10,000 to get a percentage, and the editor shows that section of the file.
Don't think of things in terms of scrolling down so many lines. Instead, think of it as jumping to that percentage offset of the file, reading the data there, and displaying that.

Well, you could just set Maximum to int.MaxValue and scale the retrieved value to your real maximum value. This should be enough precision to avoid loading too much data.

You use a percentage. There is no need to set it to the same as the number of lines.
share|improve this answer
This is a good idea except when on my Scroll handler, I am getting ScrollEventArgs that has a property called NewValue which is an int. So if it returns to me 58, for example, meaning 58%, how do I know how far down to scroll? 58% is a large chunk of data when your talking about a total of 4 gigs. – icemanind Jun 29 '11 at 17:47
If you set maximum to int.MaxValue and minimum to int.MinValue you should be pretty close. – Alex Peck Jun 29 '11 at 18:00
Also consider that unless you have 1 byte of data per line, you will have a lot less than 4 billion lines, even for 4 gigs of data. – Mike Caron Jun 29 '11 at 18:07

I've been with this company for 3 years and was recently fired for "tardiness" and was denied benefits. Should I appeal?
Asked 10 months ago - Brooklyn, NY
I completely own up to being late a few times during my last few months with the company, however prior to moving to New York, I lived in NV and never had issues with being late to work. Most of the times that I was late to work in NY were due to lack of knowledge of the transit systems. I was put on a final warning and given 6 months before my slate was wiped clean. after 4 months of not being late, I had a complete accident and had the wrong schedule in my phone and showed up unknowingly late and once I was told that I came in at the wrong time, I immediately went to my managers so we could discuss my situation. They fired me on the spot. I was denied unemployment but am wondering if I should appeal their decision?

Lawyers agree
Answered . Unless you had a contract, you were an at-will employee and therefore could be fired for any reason or no reason so long as it was not an unconstitutional reason such as based on race, gender, religion, etc. There is no harm in appealing.

Lawyers agree
Answered . Appeal the unemployment decision? Yes, if you have the option of an appeal you should take it.
3. Vincent Peter White

Lawyers agree
Answered . You should always appeal, you never know what might happen. That said, there is a good chance multiple latenesses will be considered a for cause termination. Employers need employees to be on time.

Finding Links and Initiators: A Graph-Reconstruction Problem
Download now Free registration required
Executive Summary
Analyzing 0-1 matrices is one of the main themes in data mining. Techniques such as clustering or mixture modelling, matrix decomposition techniques such as PCA, ICA, and NMR, and Bayesian all aim to give an answer to the informal question: "Where does the matrix come from?" These approaches aim at describing a probabilistic generative model that describes the observed matrix well. This paper considers yet another way of answering the question "Where does a 0{1 matrix M come from?" In the model, the matrix M of size n ? m is considered to arise from initiators, certain few entries that are initially 1.

scottschiller writes "In late 2010, Panasonic/Matsushita announced that it was ceasing production of the famous Technics SL-1200 series turntable, known and loved by DJs worldwide.

At this point, RAM is in my opinion one of the larger potential bottlenecks for web apps.
Browsers can eat up a lot of memory while running JS-heavy "web apps", and leaks can result in hundreds of MB being used over time, causing excessive disk swapping etc.
On a laptop with WinXP and 512 MB of RAM, even Firefox using 200 MB of RAM (not an unrealistic number if you have a few tabs with mail, maps and other big sites open,) can start to hurt the overall system performance.

I'm looking for the Fourier transformation of the (constant) uniform B-Spline $$N_0(x) = \begin{cases}1 & 0 \leqslant x < 1 \\ 0 & otherwise \end{cases}$$
If $N_0(x)$ would also attain value $1$ when $x=1$ (i.e. the $<$ would be $\leqslant$), it would just be a shifted version of the rectangular function R(x), which has (if I'm not mistaken) the following Fourier transform ($T=1$ and shifted $1/2$ to the right):
$$\hat{R}(\omega) = e^{-\tfrac{i\omega}{2}}\, \frac{\sin(\omega/2)}{\omega/2}$$
However, I'm not sure if this is helpful in finding $\hat{N_0}(\omega)$, the Fourier transform of $N_0(x)$...
Once I know $\hat{N_0}(\omega)$, it is easy to find the Fourier transforms of higher order uniform B-Splines, since they are (or can be) defined using convolution. Of course, the Fourier transform of a convolution is just a multiplication of the two Fourier transformed functions, therefore:
$$\hat{N_k}(\omega) = \left( \hat{N_0}(\omega) \right)^{k+1}$$

Since the Fourier transform is defined through an integral, the condition $f=g$ almost everywhere implies $\hat{f} = \hat{g}$. So in this case the Fourier transform of $N_0$ is indeed the same as that of $R$, and your formula is correct, assuming you use the convention $\hat{f}(\omega) = \int_{-\infty}^\infty f(x) e^{-i\omega x} \, dx$ for the Fourier transform.
share|improve this answer
Thanks. Somewhere I found stated that $\hat{N_0}(\omega)=\dfrac{1-e^{-i \omega}}{i \omega}$. I'm not quite sure whether this is the same as the function I found -- I'll take a more detailed look at a later time and update my post / add a comment. – Ailurus Oct 21 '12 at 20:11
Yes, that is the same, using the identity $\sin z = \frac{e^{iz} - e^{-iz}}{2i}$ with $z = \omega/2$. – Lukas Geyer Oct 21 '12 at 20:27

I'm having a problem with the jQuery hide() and show() methods. Below is a snippet from a project I'm currently working on. This code comes from a multi-page form which is loaded in it's entirety, then jQuery is used to show and hide the various pages. I should metion that this technique works in every broswer except IE7.
//Hide all pages of the form
$("#client_form div[id*='client']").hide();
//Show just the first page
$("#client_form div#client1").show();
The issue is not that the hide() fails but that the subsequent show() doesn't bring the desired page back. I've tried using different methods like slideUp() and slideDown(), I've tried doing css("display","none"), various other ways to perform the hide/show.
I've also tried chaining methods, doing callbacks from hide to then show. Nothing seems to work properly in IE7.
Any thoughts oh mighty Stack Overflow hive mind?
Many thanks, Neil

Have you tried just using the id(s) of the DIVs? Since they are unique to the page, you shouldn't need to make them relative to the form.
Note the chaining so it doesn't need to retraverse the DOM, but simply filters the elements that it has already found.
share|improve this answer
Performance question -- is having the .filter('#client1') going to be faster or slower than just doing $('#client1')? I'd think being able to let jQuery use getElementById would be fastest. (and no, downvote wasn't me, I got hit too) – Parrots Jan 12 '10 at 21:22
Filter will simply look through the array of elements to see if one of them matches the selector. It should be much faster than going back through the entire DOM. – tvanfosson Jan 12 '10 at 21:23
OK, cool, thanks, always wondered that. – Parrots Jan 12 '10 at 21:23
Thanks so much for this, your solution proved ideal and IE7 is now behaving itself. – Neil Albrock Jan 12 '10 at 22:17

What about just:
Not sure that's it, but give it a shot? IDs should be unique so no need for the hierarchical selectors.

have you tried adding a class to all the divs you are trying to hide, and hiding that class. Also change your show selector to use $("#client1") instead of that huge selector.
share|improve this answer

Have you done a simple test to make sure that your second jQuery is returning the correct object(s), if it's returning anything at all? eg:
alert($("#client_form div#client1").length);
alert($("#client_form div#client1").get(0).innerHTML);
alert($("#client_form div#client1").eq(0).text());
This would be the first place I would start - you'd then know whether you had a problem with the show() method, or the behaviour of the jQuery selector.
share|improve this answer
Care to comment on the downvote? My intention was to point him towards some checks to do which would help him work out the answer himself - the above code was not intended to be an answer in of itself. Fair enough that as it's not an answer as such, it doesn't get a vote up, but a down vote? – Graza Jan 12 '10 at 21:26
Drive-by downvoter, I suspect. Normally I'd avoid alerts but seeing as it's IE7 that may be better than debugging, though, with IE8 I'd probably fire up the developer tools. – tvanfosson Jan 12 '10 at 21:32

You might also try running your final HTML markup through a validator to see if there are any errors. IE7 is more strict than most other browsers.

You might want to recheck that. The average nuclear warhead in the US arsenal is approximated to be 33,500 kilotons (slightly larger than the well known B41). For comparison, the nukes used in/on Japan were 15 and 21 kilotons. 33,500 kilotons is large enough to destroy/kill everything in a 55-60 mile diameter. It would take about 1000 of these to DIRECTLY kill everything in the United States. Factor in the indirect damage (nuclear poisoning, fallout, etc etc), and you could kill everyone in the United States with far far fewer. India (for example only), has 1/3rd the area of the United States. It would take probably 100 33.5 megaton nuclear bombs to kill everyone in an area equal to the size of India, and it would likely kill a couple hundred million of people not in that area.
That's completely false, most modern missile-based nukes are in the hundreds of kilotons, like 100-500 kt. 33.5 megatons is larger than the largest bomb we've ever had in service, the B53 at 9 megatons.

I've heard numerous variations of this by parents trying to justify why their precious snowflake doesn't do well in school. Usually it is the teacher's fault, and their child is just so much smarter than the other students. BS. If your child is so super intelligent that ordinary schoolwork bores them, they should be smart enough to breeze through the tests. They should just "play the game" while at school and do their own learning at home, or in additional enrichment programs (most are free for low income).
You aren't allowed to just breeze through the tests. You are also required to do hours and hours of repetitive, mind-numbing homework that is below your level and serves no useful purpose if you're smart enough to just listen to the lecture and then ace the test. If you don't do the busy-work, you receive a failing grade regardless of how well you do on the tests.

INTERPOL Secretary General Ronald K. Noble said: "At a time when global migration is reaching record levels, there is a need for governments to put in place systems at the national level that would permit the identity of migrants and their documents to be verified internationally via INTERPOL." Issuing migrant workers e-ID cards in a globally verifiable format will also reduce corruption and enable cardholders to be eligible for electronic remittance schemes that will foster greater economic development and prosperity in INTERPOL member countries."

Most use stereo because we have 2 ears... and therefore only 2 channels are necessary for 3D sound. 5.1 is a gimmick. Stereo forever.
That's false. We only have 2 ears, but each of those ears can distinguish sound coming from many different directions because your head and earlobes alter the sound differently depending on where it comes from. You can only try to generate realistic soundfields with 2 channels if you use headphones. You can record sounds with microphones in the ears of a dummy head (binaural recording), or you can try to simulate these effects through headphones. Both of those methods have problems, including the fact that the sound stays the same when you turn your head.
By your reasoning, we should only need 2 pixels on a TV since we only have 2 eyes.

Well, in a rare case of present-day technology actually surpassing that predicted in a movie, we've now gone one better — bar codes on embryos. Scientists from Spain's Universitat Autònoma de Barcelona (UAB), along with colleagues from the Spanish National Research Council, have successfully developed an identification system in which mouse embryos and oocytes (egg cells) are physically tagged with microscopic silicon bar code labels. They expect to try it out on human embryos and oocytes soon."

You put your finger right on it - the "mental model of femininity".
It's about being aware that one has such models. Everyone does - it's part of the way humans build models to abstract and generalize; this is why it's possible to get up, get breakfast, and head to work while thinking hard about a problem: we can default a lot of actions to automatic responses and get along pretty well. It's only if something isn't as we assume (shower breaks, no eggs in the fridge, someone slams on the brakes in front of you) that we get in trouble.
Assuming that someone likes flowers is really not that a big deal. But assuming that they're not good at math, or that they represent every person that fits into a given group, or that they're comfortable with the same behavior or language, or any number of other things is a very big one. Not taking into account that you have a model, and that if you don't think about it, it will get used, will result in it being used to make a lot of default assumptions, some benign, some not.
As the public representatives of Perlmonks, we need to try to present the best face we can - because people who see us are humans too, and just as likely to form opinions about groups as anyone else. If we thoughtlessly use language that says "I'm not thinking about this group as a whole lot of different individuals who happen to share a common, easily-identifiable characteristic, but as all the same", then people observing us start building mental models that say, "the Perlmonks folks don't care about/don't like people who are X" (female, who don't speak English well).
If on the other hand we try our best to not do so, we help people build models that say, "Perlmonks are pretty nice people who care about understanding individual people".

Good points.
I would like to reiterate that Jung explains at great length, the Anima and Animus, and how it is part of our psychic development as living beings. When we sey "feminine", we mean Anima, and so too with masculine and Animus. Hence, the assumed masculinity and femininity are not like any other group assumption, they are part and parcel of the human race.
Hence, in this case, i see no problem with the assumption. Though i would likely be agitated about any other grouping.

Canada's crumbling infrastructure: the silence is deafening Add to ...
Elections should be the time to discuss the big issues. That's rarely how it works. True to form, the parties aren't talking seriously in this election about health care, climate change or Canada's role in two foreign wars.
Here's another big one that probably won't come up in Tuesday's televised leaders debate: the decrepit state of Canada's public infrastructure.
More related to this story
If a major earthquake were to strike the city (and Montreal sits in an active quake zone), Canada's busiest bridge likely wouldn't last more than a few minutes. "This bridge can be expected to collapse, partially or altogether, in a significant seismic event," engineers at Delcan noted matter-of-factly in a recent report. That's not "might" or "could." The experts are pretty much saying it will.
It's hard to underplay the urgency. A replacement to the Champlain Bridge could take 15 years, or the outer lifespan of the existing bridge (cost: at least $1-billion). That's just one city, and one bridge. Across Canada, key pieces of vital public infrastructure badly need fixing or replacing. There are roads and bridges, water and sewer plants, public transit networks, parks and ports.
Here's a number to ponder: $123-billion. That's what the Canadian Federation of Municipalities estimated it would cost, four years ago, to renew aging municipal infrastructure. Roughly 60 per cent of the money is needed for transportation, water and sewage treatment.
That's just part of the story. As the country grows and expands, new demands emerge, such as transit expansions and new sewage treatment capacity (cost: $115-billion). Now we're at $238-billion and counting. And that's just for municipal infrastructure.
If there is a silver lining to this grim situation, it just might be buried in another Conference Board report. It turns out governments aren't very efficient at pricing and planning our infrastructure. We waste too much water (a Canadian uses more than the twice the water a Briton does). And we don't allocate our infrastructure very efficiently. We provide transit to ever-distant suburbs, but don't make these users pay the real cost, or even the incremental cost of expansion.
It's inevitable that Canada will have to spend a lot more on large, critical infrastructure. Conservative Leader Stephen Harper might point to his pledge of loan guarantees for Labrador's Lower Churchill hydro project. But that's for the future. It won't do anything about all the infrastructure that needs replacing now. Big challenges demand big thinking - especially at election time.

Pathfinder - The Price of Immortality
Responsibility Awaits
Time for rest and recuperation is interrupted when an emergency is called at the logging camp…
Whilst the heroes of our story rest on the banks of the Tourondel River, training and sharing tall stories of their exploits, an alarm sounds not far from where they were resting. The heroes rush through the forest in order to lend aid. They soon find themselves in a large clearing in the forest where the Kassen Woodcutters Guild had gouged out a part of the forest as part of their lumber operations.
In the clearing they find that the encampment is built on a slight slope, with piles of logs at the top of the rise ready to be transported to the river. Normally held down with large chains, the heroes are confronted by a scene of devastation where a number of the larger logs had broken free, and tumbled down the hill. The logs took no mercy, and crushed everything in their path including the operations cabin situated in the centre of the camp, a number of tents belonging to the workers, and a supply of reagents used in breaking down lumber. The later of which had started to smoulder and was in danger of catching fire.
The heroes immediately split up. Kal and Sam ran to the crushed cabin and found a number of injured workers trapped under the debris. Nell and Zevan moved to the remaining logs to ensure they were secure and to see if there was any evidence of tampering. Meanwhile Eve climbed a nearby tree in order to better assess the situation.
What happened to cause this incident? And why was Guild Master Colbin Vetnar more concerned with getting the area cleared up, and the men back to work than saving the lives of his injured workers?

More than 200 years ago, Edward Jenner performed an experiment that laid the foundation for the eradication of smallpox and transformed humankind's fight against disease. Smallpox afflicted humankind as no other disease had done; its persistence and diffusion were without parallel. The disease brought down at least three empires. Generations watched helplessly as their children succumbed to the disease or were disfigured or blinded by it. Attempts were made to contain smallpox by isolating its sufferers and, later, by using variolation with varying degrees of success. However, the definitive solution was not found until Jenner's work was done at the end of the 18th century. Milkmaids who had developed cowpox from contact with cow udders informed Jenner that they were protected from the human form of the disease; he listened to their folk wisdom and raised it to the status of scientific fact. Jenner did not discover vaccination, but he was the first to demonstrate that this technique offered a reliable defense against smallpox. It was also a reliable defense against other illnesses, such as poliomyelitis, measles, and neonatal tetanus, although this was not known in Jenner's lifetime.
Smallpox has been one of humankind's greatest scourges since time immemorial. Even illnesses as terrible as the plague, cholera, and yellow fever have not had such a universal and persistent impact. Smallpox is believed to have appeared at the time of the first agricultural settlements in northeastern Africa, around 10 000 BC. It probably spread from Africa to India by means of Egyptian merchants in the last millennium BC. The earliest evidence of skin lesions resembling those of smallpox is found on the faces of mummies from the time of the 18th and 20th Egyptian Dynasties (1570 to 1085 BC) and in the well-preserved mummy of Ramses V, who died as a young man in 1157 BC.
The first recorded smallpox epidemic occurred in 1350 BC during the Egyptian-Hittite war. The illness was passed to the Hittite population by Egyptian prisoners and affected soldiers and civilians alike. The Hittite King Suppiluliumas I and his heir, Arnuwandas, were victims; their civilization fell into sharp decline.
During the epidemic in Athens in 430 BC, Thucydides noted that those who survived the disease were later immune to it. These observations were reiterated by Rhazes (Abu Bakr Muhammad Ibn Zakariya al-Razi), to whom we owe the first medical description of smallpox, De variolis et morbillis commentarius, which was written in about AD 910. Rhazes also noted that the illness was transmitted from person to person. His explanation of why survivors of smallpox do not develop the disease a second time is the first theory of acquired immunity.
The symptoms of smallpox&emdash;or the speckled monster, as it was known in 18th-century England&emdash;appeared suddenly and included high fever, chills or rigors, cephalalgia, characteristic dorsal-lumbar pain, myalgias, and prostration. Nausea and vomiting were also common. After 2 to 4 days, the fever relented and a rash appeared on the face and inside the eyes; the rash would subsequently cover the whole body. These maculopapular skin lesions evolved into vesicles and pustules and finally dried into scabs that fell off after 3 or 4 weeks. This sequence of events was characteristic for variola major.
Other clinical forms of the disease existed. Persons with fulminating smallpox (purpura variolosa) had mucocutaneous hemorrhages that preceded the appearance of the characteristic skin lesions. In malignant smallpox, the rash had a slow evolution characterized by pseudocropping, subconjunctival hemorrhages, and death when lesions on the face and limbs were confluent. In benign smallpox, the evolution of the rash differed from that of the malignant variety; this form was also less extensive (19, 20). Modified smallpox (varioloid) occurred in persons who were partially protected by vaccination and was usually benign. Variola sine eruptione was smallpox without a rash and occurred predominantly in vaccinated persons. Variola minor (alastrim, Kaffir-pox) was a mild form of smallpox caused by a less virulent strain of the virus and was endemic in Africa and South America.
The case-fatality rate associated with smallpox varied between 20% and 60% and left most survivors with disfiguring scars. Many persons went blind as a result of corneal infection. The case-fatality rate in the infant population was even higher; among children younger than 5 years of age in the 18th century, 80% of those in London and 98% of those in Berlin who developed the disease died. The case-fatality rate also varied according to the nature of the attack-it ranged from almost 100% in fulminating smallpox to 0.5% to 2% in variola minor. The ravages of smallpox were apparent in 18th-century Europe, with case-fatality rates ranging from 20 to 400 per 100 000 per year, and it is said that smallpox was responsible for 10% of deaths in Europe during that century. The incidence rate varied greatly, but during epidemics it was as high as 37.5% in Boston in 1752, 43.1% in Hastings in 1730 and 1731, and 92.7% in Chester in 1775. In Copenhagen between 1750 and 1800, the annual incidence rate ranged from 875 to 1750 per 100 000; in London between 1685 and 1801, it ranged from 313 to 2355 per 100 000; and in Sweden between 1774 and 1798, it ranged from 341 to 1024 per 100 000. The incidence rate was so high that the disease was regarded as universal or almost universal, and many authorities believed that everyone would eventually develop it. As recently as 30 years ago, smallpox was endemic in 31 countries, between 10 and 15 million persons developed smallpox yearly, and more than 2 million persons died of smallpox each year.
The Era of Vaccination
Vaccination done by using pustule fluid spread rapidly. By 1800, it had reached most European countries and about 100 000 persons had been vaccinated worldwide. In July of that year, only 2 years after the publication of Jenner's "Inquiry," Benjamin Waterhouse, professor of the "Theory and Practice of Physic" at Harvard Medical School, vaccinated his 5-year-old son and six servants with vaccine from England. These were the first vaccinations done in the United States. The practice soon spread from Boston to Philadelphia, New York, and Baltimore.
President Thomas Jefferson had 18 members of his family, some of their neighbors, and the last Mohican vaccinated. In December 1801, Chief Little Turtle and several of his warriors were vaccinated while on a visit to Washington, D.C., after Jefferson explained that "the Great Spirit had made a gift to the white men in showing them how to preserve themselves from the smallpox". The President himself vaccinated many persons. Waterhouse received great support from Jefferson, who appointed him Vaccine Agent in the National Vaccine Institute, an organization set up to establish vaccination in the United States.
King Charles IV of Spain sent vaccine from Spain to his dominions in North and South America and Asia through the Expedición de la Vacuna (the Balmis-Salvany Expedition) in 1803 through 1806; this was the first official program of mass vaccination overseas. The vaccine was maintained during the voyage by sequentially vaccinating, arm-to-arm, 22 susceptible orphan children brought along specifically to constitute a living chain. Before the expedition left Spain, a report by one of the king's physicians declared smallpox to be the "first and principal cause of the depopulation of America." The governor of the Council of the Indies noted that depopulation would mean a decrease in income from taxes that the Spanish received from the colonies and in commerce and farming. The economic benefits of such a mission would, in his view, justify paying for it from the royal treasury.
The impact of Jenner's work was so great that, in 1805, Napoleon himself insisted that all his troops who had not had smallpox should be vaccinated with the "Jennerian vaccine." He ordered the vaccination of French civilians 1 year later. The first smallpox vaccination law was passed in the Grand Duchy of Hesse in 1807; vaccination was declared obligatory in Bavaria in the same year and in Denmark in 1810.
The extraordinary value of vaccination was also acknowledged in England. In 1802, the British Parliament granted Jenner the sum of P10 000, which was worth $44 150 in 1802 and more than half a million dollars in today's currency. Five years later, parliament awarded him P20 000 more. Jenner received honors from the universities of Harvard, Oxford, and Cambridge, and numerous scientific societies made him an honorary member. However, he was never knighted. In 1803, the Royal Jennerian Institute was founded to provide lymph for vaccination; Jenner was its first president. Jenner's prestige was so great that Napoleon released English prisoners after his mediation. In 1813, Napoleon was reluctant to pardon Captain Millman, a relative of Jenner's who had fallen captive. When told who had made the request for the soldier's release, Napoleon exclaimed, "Ah, c'est Jenner, je ne puis rien refuser à Jenner!" [Ah, it is Jenner, I cannot refuse Jenner anything!]. The Emperor of Austria and the King of Spain also freed English prisoners after Jenner intervened.
Jenner's work represented the first scientific attempt to control an infectious illness by the deliberate use of vaccination. Strictly speaking, he did not discover vaccination but was the first person to confer scientific status on the procedure and was the instigator of its popularization. Jenner had been trained in the scientific method by Hunter and, in his studies on vaccination, was able to confirm his hypotheses by means of experimentation and observation. Jenner's experiments on the transmission of cowpox from human to human (not from cows to humans) were extraordinarily important because they meant that prophylaxis could be given even in the absence of the natural illness. His great merit, indeed his genius, lay in the fact that he performed exceptional experimental work on the basis of popular beliefs in the England of his times. Jenner demonstrated that the folk medicine tradition could be scientifically verified. Jenner's work established the practice of vaccination, although the term would not become widely accepted until it was adopted by Pasteur 80 years later.
Jenner himself showed that he was aware of the far-reaching consequences of his work when he stated that the universal application of the vaccine would lead to the eradication of smallpox. In 1802, he wrote " it now becomes too manifest to admit of controversy, that the annihilation of the small pox, the most dreadful scourge of the human species, must be the final result of his practice". In 1806, Thomas Jefferson congratulated Jenner: "Future generations," he wrote, "will know by history only that the loathsome smallpox existed and by you has been extirpated". Both of Jefferson's predictions proved to be true; less than 200 years after the vaccination of James Phipps, the penultimate act of the smallpox drama was played out in a small Somali village called Merka. Ali Maow Maalin, a cook, developed the characteristic smallpox rash on 26 October 1977 and was the last person to acquire the illness as a result of direct contact with another human being. The final act was the official declaration that the illness had been wiped off the face of the earth. This occurred on 8 May 1980, when the 33rd Assembly of the World Health Organization (WHO) accepted the Final Report of the Global Commission for the Certification of Smallpox Eradication.
The Deadline
In 1978, injudicious manipulation of the smallpox virus in the Medical School of the University of Birmingham led to the death of Janet Parker, a medical photographer, and the subsequent suicide of Professor Henry S. Bedson, head of the Department of Medical Microbiology. This episode emphasized the need for close supervision of smallpox virus stocks in laboratories.
The epilogue in the history of smallpox will be the destruction of all strains of smallpox virus presently stored in the high-security facilities at the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention in Atlanta, Georgia, and at the Institute for Viral Preparations in Moscow. The virus has thus far gained two reprieves; its sentence was initially postponed to 31 December 1993 and later to 30 June 1995. In both instances, its destruction was delayed because of lack of consensus among the members of the WHO's executive board. The two main arguments against destruction of the virus are that it will eliminate the possibility of future studies on the virus and that destruction of the virus in the two known repositories may not guarantee complete eradication. The main arguments for destruction are that escape of the virus from the laboratories would be a serious risk because an increasing proportion of the global population lacks immunity to the disease and that the sequence information and the availability of cloned DNA fragments of the full genome of several strains of the virus will allow most scientific questions about the properties of the viral genes and proteins to be resolved. Finally, the decision to eradicate smallpox was a collective decision of the world community made on the basis of public health considerations; all possible measures should be taken to ensure that smallpox does not again afflict mankind.
The 97th session of the WHO's executive board that met in Geneva in January 1996 recommended to the 49th World Health Assembly that the last stocks of smallpox virus be destroyed. There have also been proposals to retain 500 000 doses of smallpox vaccine and to keep the Lister Elstree strain of vaccinia virus as seed virus stock of the smallpox vaccine. The destruction would affect all stocks of smallpox virus, including variola minor, clinical specimens, and other material containing infectious smallpox virus or viral genomic DNA. Genomic DNA of the smallpox virus should be destroyed in all laboratories holding such material. The current deadline for variola virus is 31 June 1999. This would represent the first deliberate elimination of a biological species from this planet but also the extinction of an old enemy that humankind will not miss.

Governor signs NM unemployment program revision
SANTA FE, N.M. (AP) - A measure to shore up New Mexico's unemployment compensation program was signed into law on Wednesday by Gov. Susana Martinez.
A new system will be implemented in 2015 for automatically setting the tax rates paid by about 45,000 businesses to finance the state-run program that provides benefits to unemployed workers. Taxes will remain unchanged for employers through next year.
"There is no other bill that will so positively, effectively and quickly help business like this one does," said Terri Cole, CEO of the Greater Albuquerque Chamber of Commerce. "The bill insures long-term fund solvency, avoids massive and arbitrary increases, and eliminates political interference."
In the past, the Legislature and governors have often dictated the range of rates that would be paid by employers - reducing the charges when the unemployment fund was flush with cash during good economic times and later raising tax rates when the fund started to run out of money.
There was a balance of $30 million in the unemployment fund as of Tuesday, and it's estimated that should reach about $142 million by the end of 2014.
The fund had a balance of more than $500 million several years ago but that was drained after the economy soured and payments increased for unemployment benefits. Unemployment has since leveled off in the state. The jobless rate was 6.8 percent in February, down from 7 percent a year ago.
Martinez said the new rate-setting system will provide more fairness for business owners.
Rates vary for businesses, depending on their employment history. The new system will require businesses to pay a higher tax rate if they have a heavy turnover in their workforce and unemployment claims exceed the employer's payments into the fund.
Currently, businesses with the worst unemployment experience hit a maximum contribution rate and other businesses end up subsidizing them by paying more to keep the program solvent.
In 2011, Martinez used her line-item veto power to reject a $128 million tax increase on business that the Legislature approved to improve the unemployment program's finances. The state Supreme Court later invalidated the governor's action, but lawmakers and Martinez agreed last year to a smaller increase for employers to keep the fund solvent while an advisory group considered possible changes in the rate-setting system.
The latest plan for shoring up the unemployment fund passed the House and Senate this year with strong bipartisan support.
"Politicians in Santa Fe shouldn't be using an unfair and arbitrary rate structure to change costs on businesses year after year,' the governor said in a statement. "That's not predictable, and it's far too political. With these reforms, we are taking the politics out of the management of the unemployment fund and making it a true insurance system that is more predictable and fair for New Mexico small businesses."
Also signed into law Wednesday were measures to:
- Increase the civil penalties for fraudulently causing the overpayment of unemployment benefits.
- Allow the state Game Commission to suspend or revoke someone's hunting or fishing privileges for longer than three years, which is the current limit. Supporters say the tougher penalties will help crack down on poachers who shoot elk and other big game for the heads and antlers, leaving the meat to rot.
- Permit the serving of wine and beer to guests at a bed-and-breakfast. Owners and operators will be able to buy a low-cost liquor license for serving limited amounts of wine and beer with food.

They can graduate, but that doesn't mean they'll stay as ninja. Kakashi failed every team they had him examine before Team 7, so there must have been at least one team that was failed by their assigned jōnin leader, meaning they were sent back to the Academy. Omnibender - Talk - Contributions 23:58, April 3, 2013 (UTC)
I know that. I think I said something like that in so many words. I'm just saying that there is an inaccuracy in the page as it mentions only 27 students being in the Academy but there being a Squad 10 and 3 People per squad (minus the Sensei as I know some people count them and stuff) means that there are 30 Students and not the aformentioned 27 as the page says. 3X10=30 or in a longer format 3 People X 10 Squads= 30 Students. so yeah. sorry for the confusion (although it happens a lot on here by the way people word things and understand/misunderstand whats being said to them. not meaning to be rude or call you out or anything but I'm pretty sure that you have noticed the same stuff happening all over the place here.) and just a question where did you get the thought of me saying "why are there Squads 7,8, and 10 what happened to the others?" (talk) 03:30, April 4, 2013 (UTC)
sorry for the IP address Signature I forgot that I wasn't Signed in at the time but I'm just typing this so that you know its me and not some bot or something. Lordofninjas1 (talk) 03:32, April 4, 2013 (UTC)
There was only 9 teams because if you remember team 9, Gai's team, was still active so that number was skipped. That means that there was 27 graduates and not 30. ( (talk) 18:32, May 7, 2013 (UTC))

Next chapter, as promised, though if I don't get more reviews, my muse might go back to Jamaica... she likes to know when she's being appreciated! *hint hint*
"This is it," Cat said, eyeing the dark, stone mansion with more than a little trepidation, then glancing downwards as shards of glass crunched under her feet. She looked for the source and realized that the giant picture window above the mansion's front door was little more than a frame.
"What happened here?" Theo said, unconsciously echoing her thoughts.
"Let's find out," she suggested, and sliding her fingers into Theo's hand, proceeded to walk up the front walk towards the broken doors. Theo's grip tightened as they got closer, and Cat agreed; in the pre-dawn light, the Victorian mansion was extremely forbiding.
Spreading her heightened senses out to their extreme limit, she gently pushed one of the doors aside, wincing at the loud creaking sound it made as it's hinges protested the slight movement as Cat made a wide enough crack for them to slip through.
It was even darker inside the mansion, dark enough that Cat had to squint to look around for a lightswitch, and she sighed in frustration just as Theo's free hand found it and the quiet click was accompanied by... nothing. The lights didn't respond. "No power," Theo said matter-of-factly. "Come on."
He pulled her forward, apparently able to see where he was going, then stopped cold. By then, Cat's eyes had adjusted to the lack of light and she could see it, too: a large pile of black-clad bodies.
"SWAT?" she muttered, for the soldiers did bear a marked resemblance to the ones they'd seen not so long ago. She let go of Theo's hand and moved forward cautiously, grabbing one body by the shoulder and pulling it onto it's back, searching for dogtags. "Not SWAT," she said, finding none. "Something else."
"What do we do?" Theo asked, sounding slightly nauseated.
Cat thought for a moment, surveying the damaged foyer. "Well, the only bodies here are the attackers- at least, that's what I guess they are. Maybe this means that the Xavier guy got away."
"Will he come back, do you think?" Theo asked.
"Probably," Cat shrugged, and stood, grabbing the body by the shoulder strap on it's uniform. "Let's clean this place up a bit for him, huh?"
"Yeah," Theo said, dropping his backpack. "You want me to dig a hole?"
"No. Let's just get them out of the mansion, let Xavier decide what to do with them. Put the weapons in a separate pile, though." She found a butterfly knife in one of the guy's jacket pockets. "I'm keeping this."
"Yeah, this is mine," Theo said, waving a military-issue compass he'd found in another guy's pocket.
Clean-up went by in no time- with her powers, Cat could easily lift two or three bodies at the same time, and Theo worked with stoic determination. They eventually had close to twenty bodies, all the black-clad soldiers, lined up neatly on the front lawn, and a respectable pile of weapons in the foyer.
"Well, that was fun," Theo said, winded as he wiped blood off his arms with a paper towel he'd found in the kitchen. "Are we finished?"
She nodded, eyes on the books that lined the living room wall. "Think so."
There was a rustle of plastic as Theo dropped his paper towel in a trash can, and then less than a second's pause before he wrapped his arms around her waist from behind. She leaned gratefully against him, glad of the reminder that she wasn't alone. "You're tired," she commented, sensing it in the slight tremble in his frame.
Feeling him shrug against her back was a sensation unto itself, for Theo was a lot stronger in the flesh than he looked from afar. "It's been a long day. Night," he corrected himself, for the sun was now shining brightly through the windows.
"Yeah." Now that she thought about it, she was nearly as exhausted as he was, more from the emotional roller-coaster the night had been than from the physical exertions, and she had to slap Theo's hand, which was idly stroking her stomach, simply because she was too tired to follow up on what her instincts wanted her to do. "Do you think we can get on the couch without letting go?" she asked wistfully, eyeing the plush leather with longing.
He laughed, pulled her towards it until the side of her leg brushed against it, and then deftly fell sideways so that they did, indeed, end up horizontal on the couch. She squirmed around until she could rest her head on his chest, and that was all she could manage to do before she fell asleep.
Review! Next chapter... (drumroll, please) ...X-MEN!!!!

I had one of those removed when I was in college. About the same size as yours, just lower on my neck, almost parallel with my shoulders. You're lucky...your arms won't pull on your scar. I had to have my scar resected a year later because the surgeon wasn't happy with how it healed because any movement of my arms pulled it slightly apart. I wish I still had the pictures of mine, but they were taken on a Polaroid (who the hell knows why, it was less than ten years ago). Mine never bothered me but my mom thought I looked like a hunchback so she made me go to the surgeon.

Jim Nolan: Tea party a third party?
October 26, 2013
Who has defined the tea party as being a faction of the Republican Party? Its actions have harmed the GOP. The tea partyers are running primary opponents against what they consider Republicans interested in actually governing (moderates, not radicals) and that does not seem a very smart maneuver to help their “party” since a challenge divides time and money from the general election as well as splits their party’s loyalty.
The tea party is demonstrating an actual disdain for Republicans and has a much different philosophy and ideology from the more storied GOP. The tea party is a third party kidnapping a major party and repeatedly dividing the country as well as its adopted party. Why are old-line Republicans of Eisenhower, Nixon and Reagan allowing this?
Let the tea party run as a third party, radical as it is, and see how many actually get elected without the robe of the Republican Party.

Larry Levis
(1946 - 1996 / California / United States)
Blue Stone
Someday, when you are twenty-four and walking through
The street of a foreign city...
Let me go with you a little way,
Let me be that stranger you won't notice.
And when you turn and enter a bar full of young men
and women, and your laughter rises,
Like the stones of a path up a mountain,
To say that no one has died,
I promise I will not follow.

Stormqueen! by Marion Zimmer Bradley

Read in November, 2011
Shrug. Same Darkover story, different setting. I could write the plot out on the back of a cocktail napkin, and then MZB does her usual trick of filling up the extra 300 pages with navel lint.
I have such a hard time writing Darkover reviews, because I hit the fourth sentence and there's nothing more to say. I read these with the hope of there being redeeming features, and then nada. Boring. At this point I think I'm artificially inflating these by a star when there's NOT an egregious instance of sexism every other page.

Daniel Matheson A feminist with Twilight on her favorite books list. Alright.
Grace Twilight on her GOOD books list, I think you'll find. Jane Eyre is a favorite, Twilight I thought was an effective example of that sort of YA fiction I enjoyed it for what it was, but "favorite" is about six steps too far. I reread Te Hundred Thousand Kingdoms, I don't reread Twilight.
It's not a bad thing to note sexism when it shows up, by the way. I don't like Edward because he's creepy and controlling. I don't like Darkover because the the women feel wrong and false, and are frequently wedged into gender roles which seem kind of nuts when you consider this is a series about spacefaring humans who then settled a planet and inexplicably went RIGHT back to throwback gender roles.
I like books that explain those societal quirks, like in The Handmaid's Tale. I am not a fan of books where it's taken as a given, and Darkover in particular feels terribly dated and very specifically tied to the era in which it was written.
Pern has throwback gender roles, but also has an explanation and eventually an enlightenment. I have a very, very hard time reading future-speculative fiction and encountering female characters who seem less equal than women are today. Why the backtracking? What happened? I guess an argument can be made (and has been made) that those strict gender roles are "natural" and that the past few centuries of women's emancipation is a temporary quirk, but... I don't really buy that without one hell of an explanation. I don't think we'll "naturally" revert to men exclusively holding leadership positions and women being aides, and that's why it's so weird to read about feudal societies in the supposed future.
Longer response than I suppose you're looking for, but there you go.

diptyque candle
You buy this gorgeous candle as one half of a set—one is "masculine," the other is "feminine"—sort of an arty-candle version of the yin/yang bumper sticker eternally affixed to the car of the progressive American suburbanite like—well—white on rice.
The "masculine" is not all tobacco-leather—mosquito spray, the reflexive eau de "male" so many fragrance companies gravitate toward. It is prettier. Which in my opinion is more masculine: It smells pretty and it's got pink designs all over it, so the burner of said candle would have to be fairly secure in his manliness to get up the nerve. (It's called Eros to sex it up a little bit.)
Rose, the girl one, is delicately stunning in the vein of the beloved Diptyque scent Baies. Yin/yangishly, you cannot have one without the other—they only come together.

Connectors for car audio
From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
(Redirected from ISO 10487)
Jump to: navigation, search
Several types of connectors for car audio systems are used.
ISO 10487[edit]
ISO 10487 connector in car, fits into head unit
Power (A)[edit]
• Pin 2 is optional; used for phone mute
• Pin 6 is optional; used for vehicle instrument illumination
Loudspeaker (B)[edit]
Miscellaneous (C)[edit]
The connector C is optional. Some times, it appears as one 20-pin connector, often red in colour, or it may be divided into three separate connectors which may be hooked together, in which case C1 is usually yellow, C2 is usually green which C3 is usually blue in colour. The contact spacing is narrower than the other connectors, so the C connector is sometimes referred to as mini-ISO.
C1 (external amplifier)
1) line out left rear 4) line out left front
2) line out right rear 5) line out right front
C2 (remote control)
7) receive data 10) +12V switched (out)
9) chassis ground 12) remote control ground
8) transmit data 11) remote control in
C3 (CD changer)
15) +12v permanent (out) 18) audio ground
14) data out 17) data ground 20) audio right
Navigation (D)[edit]
From 2000 and onwards, manufacturers, such as BMW, Citroen, Ford, Mercedes Benz, Peugeot, Volkswagen, Rover, Audi, Seat, Opel and Škoda have sometimes started using a 40 pin connector instead, called the Quadlock (or Fakra, after the manufacturer). The Quadlock connector consists of a block of 16 flat pins analogous to the two main ISO 10487 connectors. While the physical contact pins are the same, the pin allocation is not entirely the same, and the connector housing is not compatible. In addition to the 16 pins, like ISO 10487, there are minor connectors for optional equipment. They fit within the frame of the main connector, and has coding so that they cannot be interchanged. Minor connector B has 12 pins for audio output signals. Minor connector C has 12 pins for various audio sources such as CD-changers, MP3 players.
Quadlock A
1) right rear + 5) right rear - 9) I-bus (BMW) 13) antenna (out)
2) right front + 6) right front - 10) phone mute 14) illumination
3) left front + 7) left front - 11) tel on 15) 12V battery

SingleLogoutService information is defined as part of the SAML 2.0 metadata that partners would exchange during setup. That would tell you where the Single Logout handlers are, and for which binding. I don't believe this information is typically populated in the logout request messages themselves.
share|improve this answer
This is a simple asp.net app demo, there is no metadata exchange. What is the scenario in real life? How does SAML 2.0 iDP know where to redirect after signout? – Mug Developer Jul 18 '11 at 23:22
An IDP should know what SP's the user has logged into, and then upon receiving a logout request send logout requests & receive responses from all said SP's. Again, it would know which URL's to send the request to based on partner configuration info. – Scott T. Jul 19 '11 at 5:50

Usually you get that info in the Issuer element of the request.
Hope it helps,

Ergonomics and style are the two factors that most influenced the design of the Fusion backpack. French designer Jérôme Olivet created this knapsack to be both functional and stylish. That sounds like a simple task, but many backpacks seem to prioritize either form or function. This creates fashionable bags that damage backs and eyesores that are ergonomic.
The Fusion backpack is designed to be less rigid, flowing with the curves of your body. It has a very minimalist design, with the zipper secreted on the inside of the bag, not the outer portion. Olivet was obviously thinking of urbanites when he created this concept as it is big enough to hold a 15" MacBook Pro. The simple design of the Fusion backpack means that it should be relatively easy to put into production.

Question on the dividend after the split
Is it possible or likely that KO will increase the dividend after the split? In other words, if the stock is trading at $40 a share immediately following the split, is the current yield of 2.60% going to remain status quo?
Thanks in advance.
SortNewest | Oldest | Most Replied Expand all replies
• The dividend is a percentage based on the price of the stock. So, if it splits at $80 a share(round number to make it easy) it will earn the current 2.60% dividend on the split price of $40, but you will have two. The split will do nothing to affect the dividend. The affect it will have is purely psychological for the stock. People are more likely to buy a $40 stock than an $80 stock.

Giant Zometool sculpture
By George Hart for the Museum of Mathematics
What is the largest geometric structure you have ever made? This giant Zometool construction contains 50,000 parts and is five meters in diameter.
As this detail image shows, Zometool is a plastic construction set with hubs and struts that provide lengths and angles for making mathematical models. The effect of elegant smooth curves results from many short straight pieces.
The sculpture was made at the Bridges Math/Art conference in Banff. Over a hundred people worked together to execute this beautiful design by Chris Kling, in memorial to him. At The Museum of Mathematics, we support this sort of hands-on building experience to convey mathematical principles in a fun, engaging manner.

Answered . This question needs to be answered by the Company's immigration lawyer.
I hope the "Company"'s principals will not be foolish enough to want to file an LCA and an ensuing H-1B petition on their own, without the expert guidance of a competent immigration lawyer. They will most likely be wasting their money and time.
2. Christian Schmidt
Contributor Level 19
Lawyers agree
Answered . The application does not require any documentation that must be submitted with it. You may have to verify the company's existence prior to filing and have to establish the basis for the wage stated on the application. The company's lawyer should be able to assist.
3. Tripti Sharad Sharma
Contributor Level 18
Lawyers agree
Answered . LCA is filed by the company after notice posting requirements and maintaining a public access file. You should not concern yourself with these requirements. On or before your first day of work, the company should provide you with a certified copy of the LCA. Your part is to ensure you are in the correct category and are paid the prevailing or actual wage which ever is higher.

Clark Howard: Flood insurance
Updated: 4/18/2013 12:14 pm
JACKSONVILLE, Fla. -- The weather patterns around the U.S. have been crazy in the last several months!
So, who knows where we're headed.
I can tell you is you need to be prepared for potential problems. And one of the things that people overlook is the possibility of a flood.
In fact, a lot of people, until they experience it, have no idea that your homeowners policy does not cover you for a flood.
We live in an area by a creek and it's considered an extremely low risk area for a flood.
But we buy flood insurance.
You buy it from floodsmart.gov. and, here's the thing, if you're in an area that has a very high flood risk, your lender is going to require that you buy flood insurance.
If you are deemed at an area at low risk or no risk at all you probably aren't going to be required to, but you should consider buying it.
How much is it going to cost you? You know it could cost you only a couple hundred dollars a year for that peace of mind.
I recommend it highly.
You can read more about it on my website.
