That was just wrong.
But, it was also friggin hilarious. This is just too funny for words. I used to love the Power Speech programs.

So much is wrong about this, and yet, so much is right about this. I did notice that on one of the times he says no no no, he actually says number at the end because you typed no. (with a period) I would keep it in for humor's sake.
Nice work mate.
I would prefer to see some of your drawing to be honest. They are what make your cartoons beautiful. This was good, though. Not as good as Up Skit Creek or Plan 9 From Underpants, but still good. Steven Hawkings? I can imagine him being a Rocketman. It takes 4 canisters of methane and an illegal firework. Kaboom! Now he can be everwhere in space at once! Well, in thousands of pieces. Does that count?
Great Work.

From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia - View original article
This article relies too much on references to primary sources. (December 2014) |
Howard Leslie Brennan (March 20, 1919 – December 22, 1983)[2][3][4] was a witness to the assassination of U.S. President John F. Kennedy in Dallas, Texas on November 22, 1963. His description of a sniper he saw was, according to the Warren Commission, probative in reaching the conclusion that the shots came from the sixth floor, southeast corner window of the Texas School Book Depository Building.[5]
Brennan, a 44-year-old steamfitter,[6] watched the presidential motorcade from a concrete retaining wall at the southwest corner of Elm and Houston streets in Dealey Plaza, where he had a clear view of the south side of the Depository Building. He arrived at about 12:23 p.m.,[7] and while waiting for the motorcade, he looked up and saw a man appear at an open window at the southeast corner of the sixth floor, 120 feet (37 m) from Brennan,[8] and observed him leave the window "a couple of times."[1]
Brennan watched the Presidential limousine turn left from Houston to Elm at 12:30, where it passed the Depository and headed toward a freeway entrance for modern Interstate 35E. Soon after the President's car passed, he heard an explosion like the backfire of a motorcycle.
" | Well, then something, just right after this explosion, made me think that it was a firecracker being thrown from the Texas Book Store. And I glanced up. And this man that I saw previous was aiming for his last shot. . . . Well, as it appeared to me he was standing up. and resting against the left window sill, with gun shouldered to his right shoulder, holding the gun with his left hand and taking positive aim and fired his last shot. As I calculate a couple of seconds. He drew the gun back from the window as though he was drawing it back to his side and maybe paused for another second as though to assure himself that he hit his mark, and then he disappeared.[9] | " |
Brennan quickly reported his observations to police officers, and a description of the suspect was broadcast to all Dallas police at 12:45 p.m., 12:48 p.m., and 12:55 p.m.[10][11] About a half hour later, Patrolman J. D. Tippit was shot and killed by Lee Harvey Oswald after Tippit spotted him walking along a sidewalk, and stopped to speak to him. Oswald fled and was captured in a nearby movie theater.
A few hours later, Brennan saw Oswald on television.[12][13] Later the same evening Brennan identified Oswald in a police lineup as the person who most closely resembled the man in the window, but Brennan said he was unable to make a positive identification.[14][15] On December 17, 1963, he told the FBI that he was sure that Oswald was the rifleman he had seen in the window.[12] Several months later, he also testified to the Warren Commission that at the time of the lineup, he believed the assassination was part of a conspiracy, and he was afraid for the safety of himself and his family.[16][17] Because Brennan declined to make a positive identification in the police lineup, the commission regarded Brennan's subsequent testimony, that he sincerely believed he saw Oswald, as probative but not conclusive evidence that Oswald was the gunman in the sixth floor window.[18]
The House Select Committee on Assassinations cited Howard Brennan in 1979 as support for its conclusion that the assassin shot at President Kennedy from the Book Depository Building.[19]
Brennan's memoir Eyewitness to History: The Kennedy Assassination as Seen by Howard L. Brennan, written with J. Edward Cherryholmes, was published posthumously in 1987 by Texian Press. (ISBN 0872440761)

James, would you mind adding a 'testing' version to the LFS product too, so we can track bugs that are reported against that branch? By and large such bugs will affect SVN too, but when fixed in 'testing' they can be merged upstream. Admittedly, when we start using the 3-tier setup properly I'd imagine we should be doing the reverse (fixing on trunk and then backporting to the testing branch). Cheers, Matt.

Does anyone have an opinion on grain bags? They seem like a great idea, but I get the feeling that all of the die-hards would shun me in I tried using one. (If I told you I used one, that is)
Are you refering to the nylon or muslin? I use a nice-sized nylon bag for my specialty grains because it's reusable and keeps more of the little husks out of my wort. I usually use the little muslin socks for hops because it seems to let it get all the goodies out and the nylon seems to not let the hops get good and soaked. Did that come close to what you wanted to know? As for how the "die-hards" feel about it, who cares? Of the many hobbies I've tried over the years, homebrewing is one of the most personalized. Sure, the concept is generally the same but there are a lot of options open to how you feel you want to do it. Have fun.
I use the muslin kind. Try to keep "floaters" outa my finished product. Go with what works for you, regardless of what others say.
I've used the Muslin kind myself. I guess I was just wondering if the final result is better when you steep and sparge the grains loose, instead of using the bags. I'll find out myself in about 3 weeks when the batch is finally ready.
If you're just using flavor adjunct malts, it really makes no difference. The advantage of a good sparge is primarily better extraction when you're doing real mashes. Especially with crystal malt, which contains already converted sugars in a crystallized form, a grain bag is fine for a steep. Mashing crystal malts is no different than steeping.

Current Time
Concierge.com's insider take:
This fabulously odd Moorish-style villa built in 1879 is easy to find: Just look for the onion-domed minaret towering above the pine trees. The interiors are the Middle Eastern fantasyland of a palace fit for a pasha, all horseshoe arches with toothy edges and walls slathered in fiddly scrollwork and arabesques. The 14 rooms are filled with 18th- and 19th-century furnishings with intricate wood-inlay floors, silk brocade walls, and marble baths. Some rooms are frescoed; others have tented ceilings to go with the whole Scheherazade motif. Every room in the deluxe category and above comes with a king-size canopy bed. The hotel is patronized by the kind of adventurous clientele drawn to its quirky styling and out-of-the-way location on one of the lesser-known lakes. The hotel has its own small fitness center offering massages, and guests can use the pools, tennis courts, and water sports facilities at the Crespi's two sister hotels, which are right on the lake less than a mile away.
Closed early January through mid-March.

Illinois: Corporate Welfare State with a Unionized Government
Here's an interesting email from John Tillman at the Illinois Policy Institute, a non-partisan watchdog of the ongoing mess in Illinois. Tillman's source is an excellent article on Illinois Review written by Ben VanMetre, a Senior Budget and Tax Policy Analyst at the Illinois Policy Institute.
Please consider a repost of Quinn's Illinois: regulations and cronyism crush entrepreneurship by Ben VanMetre.
In Gov. Pat Quinn's State of the State address, he said, "In our Illinois, small business means big business. Driving economic growth for small businesses requires doing all we can to make sure government is not in the way."
Quinn is right. Illinois' economic future depends on a vibrant economy where entrepreneurs can start and grow businesses, create jobs and compete.
Unfortunately, Quinn's policy solutions contradict his rhetoric. Quinn has been fighting for more government involvement in business, not less.
Despite the fact that Illinois already has $9.3 billion in unpaid bills, in his State of the State address Quinn advocated more government involvement in job creation and business activity: spending for roads, bridges, construction, high-speed rail, water infrastructure, technology, manufacturing and clean energy. More money for government projects requires higher revenues – this leads to calls for higher taxes, on top of the state's highly regulated business climate. These factors explain why Illinois has one of the least competitive economies in the nation.
Illinois ranked 45th in gross domestic product growth from 2000 to 2010. Illinois' combined federal and state corporate income tax is the fourth-highest in the industrialized world. And entrepreneurship in Illinois consistently lags behind the rest of the nation.
Illinois' exploding government debt is crowding out business investment. Need evidence? Illinois has been downgraded 11 times since Quinn took office. The state has the worst credit rating in the nation.
The driver of Illinois' disastrous business climate is a government that embraces corporate welfare, and continually increases taxes and burdensome regulations.
Illinois can lead the nation in economic output and job creation. But it must start by balancing the state budget, reining back out-of-control spending and taking government handouts off the balance sheets of politically connected businesses.
The Problem in Illinois
Illinois is bought, controlled, and owned by public unions and politicians on the take from public unions.
The unions do not want reform, nor do they want reasonable budgets. They do want more handouts and higher taxes.
Taking control of government in Illinois will not be easy, even with a Republican governor.
The only way to treat unions is the way Chris Christie treated them in New Jersey and the way Scott Walker treated them in Wisconsin. Bear in mind, the Walker solution was only the tip of the iceberg of the five things that need to happen.
Five Recommended Solutions
- Scrapping of all public employee collective bargaining agreements
- National right-to-work laws
- Scrapping of Davis-Bacon and all prevailing wage laws
- End defined benefit plans for public employees
- Renegotiation of existing benefits in public defined benefit pension plans
Those recommendations would fix problems nationally, not just in Illinois.
Numbers 1-3 will bring down labor costs, not just for the state, but for every city and municipality in the state (an if implemented nationally, in every state). Numbers 4-5 are needed to solve massive pension underfunding.
Like the Illinois Policy Institute, I do not care if it's a democrat or a republican that gets the job done, but I do care that it does get done.
Unfortunately, I fully expect the Illinois pension problem will not be solved until the fund is within a few years of running out of money. However, that may happen far sooner than anyone thinks.
Some plans may be broke by 2020 in my estimation. All it will take is another big decline in the stock market with the pension plans overweight the wrong areas.

Liv has mentioned Nate—the child she conceived with her deceased first husband Nathan and later raised with second husband Malcolm Winters (Shemar Moore)—several times since arriving back in Genoa City. According to the storyline, Lily(Christel Khalil)'s older cousin is away at medical school. I say its time Nate transferred to a university closer to Genoa City and I have the perfect person to play him– Robert Ri'chard. Like Bryton McClure and Tatiyana Ali, Ri'chard grew up on our screens in such sitcoms as Cousin Skeeter and One on One, and would bring with him a built-in audience. In recent years he played Paris Hilton's love interest in the camptasically-bad horror flick House of Wax.

Who Knew? Shoe Guru Stuart Weitzman Went To Penn
Yesterday, the Daily Pennsylvanian, UPenn's student newspaper, ran a piece about Stuart Weitzman, the shoe guru who turned a family shoe company into a $300 million business. The story mentioned things many fashion-savvy people know—Beyoncé wears his shoes on stage, Kate Middleton wears his wedges every other day. But there was one fact that stood out: Stuart Weitzman went to Penn?!

Penn Revises Sex Violence Policy
There's been a lot of talk around these parts — and nationally — about how colleges handle reports of sexual assault, so it's no surprise Penn has unveiled revisions to its own policies regarding sexual violence. The Daily Pennsylvanian reports:
The proposed additions, released in the Almanac on Tuesday, would add specific definitions for relationship violence, domestic violence and stalking to the policy banning sexual violence amongst faculty, staff, students and visitors to campus. The previous policy only defined rape, non-forcible sex acts and consent. The policy was last updated in 2012.
If the proposal is approved, Penn will define relationship violence as "a pattern of abuse committed by a person, past or present, involved in a sexual or romantic relationship with the victim." It will encompass physical, sexual, emotional or economic violence. Domestic violence will be defined as "abuse committed against an adult who is a spouse or former spouse, cohabitant or someone with whom the abuser has a child, has an existing dating or engagement relationship, or has had a former dating or engagement relationship."
Further suggested revisions to the policy should be sent to Vice President for Institutional Affairs Joann Mitchell by May 20.
Penn Adopts 'Preferred Name Initiative' for Trans Students
Transgender students at Penn now have the option to use a name other than the one on their birth certificate thanks to the university's newly launched Preferred-Name Initiative. The new plan streamlines a process that was already in place on campus. Previously, students could set up a meeting with Senior Associate Director of the LGBT Center Erin Cross to institute a name change, but the process wasn't publicized. Therefore, most students would only hear about it through word of mouth. More from The Daily Pennsylvanian:
UPenn On New List of 25 Best Colleges and Universities for LGBT Students
Once again, the University of Pennsylvania has been named one of the nation's best universities for LGBT students. The accolade comes from Campus Pride, an organization dedicated to making campuses more gay-friendly. Every year, the group compiles a "Campus Pride Index" based on a series of 50 questions they send to students across the country.
UPenn gets five out of five stars in seven of the eight categories on the questionnaire, including LGBT Policy Inclusion, LGBT Housing and Residence Life, and LGBT Counseling and Health. It gets a 4.5 out of five stars in LGBT Academic Life. Read our profile on the history of Penn as a gay-friendly school here.
Other nearby schools to make the list include Princeton, in Princeton, N.J., and Rutgers, in New Brunswick, N.J.
Check out the complete, most recent rundown of top universities for LGBT students, listed in alphabetical order, below:
How Penn Law Became One of the Nation's Most Gay-Friendly Schools
THE STORY HAS become something of a legend, told around the table every year at an annual chili supper for Penn Law's gay and lesbian population that's hosted by Dean of Students Gary Clinton and his partner, attorney Don Millinger L'79. It begins like many a hand-me-down tale: On a sleety, snowy February night in 1994, Clinton says he, Millinger and guests were ladling chili and passing around drinks when they noticed a fellow student peering through the front window. Sensing his hesitation to come in, Clinton threw on a jacket so he could go out to ask the straggler why he was waiting out in the cold.
UPenn's New Incentive for Same-Sex Couples
Beginning July 1, the University of Pennsylvania will provide a tax offset program for same-sex couples who work for the university. The program offers as much as $125 per month for employees who are covering same-sex domestic partners under their current Penn medical plans, with a maximum of $1,500 per year. This offset will appear in employees' paychecks as additional taxable income — minus applicable state and federal taxes — starting in late July.
Many faculty and staff at the university already enjoy these pre-tax health-insurance premiums for themselves and their dependents. But up until now, employees covering same-sex domestic partners under Penn's benefit plans have had to pay federal and state taxes on the value of their partner's coverage. This is largely because federal and Pennsylvania tax codes do not recognize domestic partners as dependents.
"At Penn, this tax inequality is being addressed," says Jack Heuer, vice president of the Division of Human Resources. "Penn has a long history of supporting our LGBT community. We were the first Ivy League institution and among the first local employers to include same-sex domestic partners in our benefits coverage, and now we're among the first universities to provide this tax offset."

- Anonymouse ~superdoge~ 2012/07/01 18:08:29NoPeople have the right to wear a burqa or niqab if they so wish on public property. What we should ban is halal slaughter...
- Pat 2012/06/19 01:53:35NoEvery part of me is screaming that the Burqu should be banned but, under our Constitution, I believe that it has to be allowed as freedom of religion.
I'm concerned about a couple of things. I have no objection to a head scarf but the full burqua could hide a bomb or some other weapon.
For security purposes, a woman could not be realistically identified while wearing a burqua.
I also think it could be dangerous on a train, bus or escalator, elevator etc. Too many things to get it caught in.
I also have to believe that no woman, even a Muslim woman, wants to be swaddled in layers and layers of cloth everyday, all day.
Does anyone know if the burqua is really a requirement of Islam? I know many countries do not require the burqua but the women do wear a head scarf. Isn't the burqua an extreme requirement? - Herbtheman 2012/06/19 01:34:29

- MAZ142 2012/06/16 19:17:36NoNo because its something which is a part of Islam and is considered normal. There's nothing wrong with decency/modesty and if that comes under the perspective of being covered then so be it. If the world where different and people where less ignorant they'd take the time and educate themselves about the true meanings behind such things but of course they don't. They only see it from their perspective and not from the other side. I live in the Middle East and know for a fact that most Arab women enjoy wearing it. Its a symbol of their identity and their religion which again isn't wrong. Also logical being fully covered out here is pretty wise, the sun is hot and the weather just as bad.
- Metaldane 2012/06/16 14:40:33NoFreedom of religion whether you like it or not we have that and that's part of theirs banning banning that would be like banning any other religious clothing.
And your a judgmental prick who goes around slinging insults to perfect strangers don't think I'm the idiot here.
- TasselLady 2012/06/16 12:53:33Yes+1You sure don't see the MEN in Islam being forced to be "modest". Their entire religion controls women and what they do, what they wear, what they say, what profession they can go into. It's disgusting. They're treated like third class citizens. What's good for one is good for all. If a person chooses to do this because they want to then so be it. But that doesn't mean that everybody ELSE should be forced to do it.
NoOnly if we also ban the bikini top since both are sexist Culturally/religiously created ideas of modesty applied only to women
If that's what you believe in, that is your right. However forcing anyone to wear anything should be banned -
Many do and that's wrong, but equally wrong is to force one who believes in it (and I do know some who do it voluntarily because they believe god demands modesty) It would be similar to making a western woman go topless
- Diane Spraggs Yates 2012/06/16 12:38:23NoFreedom is for all and Ibelieve in a place where bombs could be- banks where robbers could use them to hide could request they not be worn due to safety by bussiness I do not like them but I am no dictator.

Jason Smith scores 20 in rare start to lead Hornets past road-weary Wizards
NEW ORLEANS -- Jason Smith might be a better center than he thought.
The reserve power forward scored a career-high 20 points in a rare start at center and the New Orleans Hornets defeated Washington 97-89 on Tuesday night, dropping the Wizards to 0-25 on the road.
"It was a special game, a career night for me," said Smith, who started because of Emeka Okafor's left oblique muscle strain.
"Mek is such a great player and he plays around the rim," Smith said. "I just went out there and tried to play aggressive like he would. We really need him back healthy, but in the meantime we have a lot of guys that are willing to step up."
Chris Paul had 15 points and nine assists and Trevor Ariza had 16 points for New Orleans, which snapped a two-game skid.
While Okafor's injury left the Hornets without a starter averaging a double-double in points and rebounds, the 7-foot Smith looked comfortable filling in and hit his first nine shots on an array of dunks, tip-ins and jump shots from as far as 18 feet.
"He brought the right kind of energy tonight," Hornets coach Monty Williams said. "Sometimes, Jason will go for offensive rebounds he doesn't have a chance to grab or foul someone for no apparent reason, and tonight he was knocking down shots, he was attacking the rim, he made the right cuts and got to the free throw line. Defensively he didn't get exploited as bad as most people would have expected. ... He did a good job tonight. Obviously when you make shots like that it makes it look a lot better."
Nick Young scored 30 points for Washington, which trailed by double digits most of the second half in losing its sixth straight overall.
Andray Blatche had 21 points and nine rebounds, and Kirk Hinrich added 10 points for the Wizards, who are four road losses from matching the 1992-93 Dallas Mavericks' NBA worst 0-29 start on the road.
"We're not giving in and we're not giving up," Blatche said. "We're just playing scared. It's tough when you fight the whole game and you come up short. ... I'm sure that if we keep playing like we're playing, we're going to pull off a road win."
The Hornets led by as many as 17 points in the fourth quarter when David Andersen hit a jumper, but the Wizards responded with a quick 7-0 spurt capped by Hinrich's layup as he was fouled to make it 85-75 with more than half the quarter left.
New Orleans then missed on its next possession, but Willie Green, who had 11 points, stole the ball from Hinrich and went the other way for a fastbreak layup. New Orleans was then able to maintain a double-digit lead until less than a minute remained.
David West and Marcus Thornton both scored 10 points for New Orleans, which outshot Washington 48.6 percent (35 of 72) to 45.8 percent (33 of 72) and outrebounded the Wizards 41-34.
Smith, who played 25 minutes, scored the Hornets' first three baskets on a tip-in and two dunks. The third-year pro had 10 of the Hornets' first 16 points less than 7 minutes into the game.
Smith said he thought Washington had trouble defending him and West at the same time.
"We kind of gave them a little bit of a matchup problem," Smith said. "Starting two [big] guys that can dribble and shoot is a tough matchup for anybody."
Washington briefly took the lead when JaVale McGee corralled Young's alley-oop lob with one hand and jammed it as he was being fouled by Aaron Gray. Young later hit one of his four 3s to give him 11 points for the quarter and Washington a 26-22 lead.
Paul hit a technical free throw and a 3 during a four-point possession, then set up Ariza's transition 3 at the first quarter horn to highlight a 9-0 run capped by Green's driving floater early in the second quarter.
Soon after Smith returned in the second quarter, he scored inside as he was fouled, giving the third-year pro what was then a career-high 15 points in only 10 minutes of action.
Paul scored the Hornets' last seven points of the half, closing with a floater as he was fouled by rookie John Wall to put New Orleans up 55-44.
Game notes
Gray, who had been out with a left ankle sprain since Jan. 21, played 15 minutes backing up Smith, hitting his only two shots and grabbing eight rebounds. ... The second-worst road start in NBA history belongs to the 1974-75 New Orleans Jazz, who opened 0-28 away from the Big Easy. ... Rashard Lewis of the Wizards fouled out with 4:25 left.

Like her cop-on-the-edge pop, Lucy�s a hellion—�I�m feisty, and I get to throw some punches�—but when she�s kidnapped by terrorists, it�s Yippee-Ki-Yay-Mofo (perhaps: this installment might be PG-13) time as Bruce rumbles to the rescue and, presumably, an executive-pleasing opening weekend. �I�m looking forward to a big blockbuster, hopefully,� says Winstead, whose previous résumé boasts eye-catching turns in Quentin Tarantino�s Death Proof (QT�s half of the Grindhouse oeuvre), Emilio Estevez�s Bobby, and NBC�s soap opera Passions. And let�s not forget Winstead�s role in Joseph and the Amazing Technicolor Dreamcoat (starring Donny Osmond!), which she played when she was 12 without punching anyone. �It was kind of an over-the-top show,� Winstead says, �but it could not have been more fun.�

CLEMSON Clemson will face Louisiana State in the Chick-fil-A Bowl on New Years Eve in Atlanta, according to multiple reports and a Twitter posting from the LSU punter.
It will be a compelling matchup of contrasting styles. No. 9 LSU (10-2) ranks eighth in the nation in defense, allowing 296.2 yards per game, whereas No. 14 Clemson (10-2) ranks ninth in total offense, averaging 518 yards per game.
The bowl game is also critical to the perception of Clemson.
Some will view Clemsons double-digit win regular season as fraudulent, as the product of a weak schedule, unless Clemson is able to defeat its first ranked team of the season in LSU. Clemson has played two ranked teams Florida State and South Carolina and lost to both in competitive games.
The game will be the middle of three against Southeastern Conference opponents as Clemson closed the regular season against South Carolina and opens up its season next year against Georgia.
LSU will present Clemson with a physical test not unlike South Carolina as the LSU defense is loaded with physical talents including talented defensive end Sam Montgomery (7 sacks)and end/outside linebacker Barkevious Mingo (5.5 sacks).

Just a stab at it, but what pressure is the beer stored at and served at?
Let's see if I keep this updated! On tap Black Butte clone In secondary Pumpkin ale In primary Honey wit Up next.. Firestone Union Jack clone
Low psi. It was originally a bit over carved. The clear beer was the last 5-10 beers.
About 8 psi. 40 degrees is my guess. Not 100% sure on temp
Carbonic acid (caused by carbonation) does bring out bitterness in beer. Worst thread title ever
Carbonic acid will go out in a few days with venting.
How long at 40˚? I refrigerate my bottled beer for a week prior to serving and they pour crystal clear like the photo on the right.
"...Careful, man...there's a beverage here!..."
It's not magic, just cold crashing at work.

Rafa questions quota proposal
16 Sep 2009 - 08:24:28
Liverpool boss Rafael Benitez has warned the Premier League powerbrokers that the home-grown player proposal threatens to reduce the quality of the competition.
The Premier League has chosen to adopt a policy from the start of next season whereby eight players in each club's nominated 25-man squad must be under 21 years of age and have been trained in England or Wales.
The proposal was given the go-ahead following a meeting of chairman from all 20 clubs last week.
However, Benitez is concerned that the overall product will suffer as a result of the quick shift in focus.
"It may now be difficult to maintain quality. The number of players is not the point, the quality is," warned Benitez.
"The problem in England is that there is a big gap between the academies and the first team. The reserve league is not filling this gap.
"If a top side has to find eight players from the academy straight away, it may well be difficult.
"Academies do not produce too many in England, home-grown players tend to play in the lower divisions because they may not be good enough for the very top.
"People talk too much about the age of players and where they are from. They forget about quality.
"The Premier League is the best league in the world because of the quality, not because of where the players come from."

Domain and Range
Before beginning a discussion of domain and range, one must understand the idea of a function. This topic is covered more extensively in a subsequent tutorial entitled Functions, but for our purposes, we will define a function to be an expression which takes an input value and generates a single output value. For example, the following are functions because in each case, a choice of input value x leads to a single output value y.
Two concepts that are of great importance in the study of functions are domain and range.
The collection of all values of the input variable for which the function is defined.
The collection of all output values that are obtained from using the domain values as inputs.
Example 1
Determine the domain and range of the following function:
Solution 1
Let's start with the domain. We ask the question, "Are there any values of x for which the function is undefined?" In this case, the answer is no; no matter what value of x is chosen, the function always yields a well defined value for y. Therefore, we say that the domain of this function is the set of all real numbers.
In determining the range, we ask ourselves the question, "Are there any output values, y, that can never be generated no matter what we choose for the value of x?" A close examination of the function tells us that there are. Note that the x is squared and the square of a real number is always positive (or zero). So if the lowest that gets is zero, then the lowest that y can get is 1. On the other hand, there is no limit to how big y can get since we have placed no restrictions on the size of x. Therefore, we say that the range of this function is all real numbers greater than or equal to 1 or we write:
Range: {y | y ≥ 1}.
Note that it is also easy to see this range by looking at the graph of . Clearly the lowest point on the graph is the point (0,1) and the rest of the graph goes upward endlessly. This information shows that the smallest y-value is 1 and that the range is the set of all real numbers greater than or equal to 1.
Example 2
Determine the domain and range of the following function:
Solution 2
We begin again by looking for x-values which make this function undefined. In this case, there is one such value. Since division by zero is not allowed in mathematics, x cannot equal 2. Therefore, we say that the domain of this function is all real numbers except 2 or we write:
Domain: { x | x ≠ 2 }.
Then we determine if there are any y-values which can never be achieved as output values. A graph of the function is helpful at this point (see tutorial entitled Common Curves), but in the absence of a graph, we ask questions about the behavior near 2 and as we tend to positive and negative infinity. Try plugging in numbers like 2.1 and 2.001 for x. Notice how as we select x-values closer and closer to 2, the value of y gets larger and larger. If we use x-values very close to 2 but slightly less than 2, such as 1.9 and 1.999, the y-values get very large negatively. We can also see that for x-values that are very large, such as 10,000 or 1,000,000,000, the value of y becomes very, very small – near 0. The same holds true for negatively large x-values, such as -10,000 or
-1,000,000,000. So we have established that y can be very large -- positively or negatively -- and we have established that y can get very close to 0. But can y ever exactly equal 0? In order for a fraction to equal zero, the numerator must equal 0. Since this fraction's numerator is always 1 and never zero, then y can never be zero. However, the only way for a fraction to equal zero is for the numerator to be zero. Therefore, we say that the range of this function is all real numbers except zero or we write:
Range: { y | y ≠ 0 }.

Waiting game for Worthy
02 May 2007 - 13:42:47
Leicester City's caretaker manager Nigel Worthington has admitted that he still has no idea of whether he will be handed a long-term stay with the Foxes.
Worthington has guided the Foxes to Championship safety with two wins in four games since he took charge at the Walkers Stadium, but is waiting to see whether chairman Milan Mandaric will give him the nod for next season.
He told the Leicester Mercury: "I knew the circumstances. It was a short-term decision that had to be made.
"It was a case of giving it my best shot. I have worked with good people and now I just have to wait and see what happens.
"One thing I do know is that, if I get the job here, I will be very pleased. But, if not, I will be looking for one elsewhere because I enjoy the game."

Promoter Eddie Hearn says that talks over a possible Brit blockbuster between welterweight Kell Brook and former jr welterweight champion Amir Khan have begun. The unbeaten Brook faces an IBF welterweight world title eliminator on October 20 against Argentine Hector Saldivia in Sheffield, England, and Khan returns to action on December 15 against Carlos Molina in Los Angeles. "I spoke with Khan's team a month or so ago and again after their appearance on Ringside (Sky Sports), it's certainly a fight that can be made," said Hearn. "It's too big to be ignored and it's only a matter of time before the public virtually insist on Brook vs Khan happening."

It is a building erected in classical style between 1792-1798 in the place of an old evangelical cemetery user since the beginning of the 18th century. In 1832 the wooden choirs were replaced by bricks ones and vault was carried out. In the 60ties of the 19th century the tower was heightened. Inside the church there is a baptismal front from 1817, altar and a pulpit from the 30ties of the 19th century and organ made by Karol Kutler's company in Opawa in 1848.
Europe is generally agreed to be the birthplace of western culture, including such legendary innovations as the democratic nation-state, football and tomato sauce.The word Europe comes from the Greek goddess Europa, who was kidnapped by Zeus and plunked down on the island of Crete. Europa gradually changed from referring to mainland Greece until it extended finally to include Norway and Russia.Don't be confused that Europe is called a continent without looking like an island, the way the other continents do. It's okay. The Ural mountains have steadily been there to divide Europe from Asia for the last 250 million years. Russia technically inhabits "Eurasia".Europe is presently uniting into one political and economic zone with a common currency called the Euro. The European Union originated in 1993 and is now composed of 27 member states. Its headquarters is in Brussels, Belgium.Do not confuse the EU with the Council of Europe, which has 47 member states and dates to 1949. These two bodies share the same flag, national anthem, and mission of integrating Europe. The headquarters of the Council are located in Strasbourg, France, and it is most famous for its European Court of Human Rights. In spite of these two bodies, there is still no single Constitution or set of laws applying to all the countries of Europe. Debate rages over the role of the EU in regards to national sovereignty. As of January 2009, the Lisbon Treaty is the closest thing to a European Constitution, yet it has not been approved by all the EU states. Text by Steve Smith.

I think most serious football fans can tell when a coach is doing a great job at play-calling and scheming. The players are put in good positions to succeed, and there are less careless execution-type errors. Good play-callers also know how to counter-attack or counter-punch what a defense is doing. For example, if a defense is blitzing up the middle a lot, you throw quick slants across the middle. If the D is calling a monster pass rush every time instead of staying put, you run screens or draws. If a team is keying too much on the run, you run play-action. If a team is jamming receivers at the line, go 5-wide with very quick short passes or direct power runs at the corners for a few plays to soften them up a bit. If a trick play is used, it is specifically designed to exploit a defensive tendency spotted during scouting. Etc etc etc I hate to say it, because it pisses me off every time I think about it, but Josh McDaniels is NOT a good coordinator, and the Pats can't win a Superbowl with this guy. McDaniels seemingly play-calls at random, does not make appropriate adjustments to the defense, and his tendencies have now been clearly spotted and exploited by both Mangini and Saban. He tries to get cute too often (not pounding the Colts by running, or going too often for fancy plays on 3rd and short). The past two years there have also been way more missed catches, tipped balls, fumbles, and blown blocking assignments. Even his gadget plays get screwed up by illegal formations, illegal double forward passes, or major loss of yards (double reverse). Some people here say he's a whiz kid who's just too young and inexperienced, but I question even the whiz kid reputation. What has this guy ever done to prove he's a football genius? Not only do I think he's in over his head, but I also don't think he completely understands the game of football enough to exploit different defenses every week or make proper adjustments. Mangini and Saban have clearly figured this guy out already, and soon the rest of the league will too. I also don't think McDaniels is tough enough, strict enough, or commands enough respect among the players, and I think our unusually high number of penalty infractions every single game suggests this.
A new and original thought to add to the many similar threads infesting the forum - say it if it makes you happy, but for pity's sake, please use one of the other Josh must go threads instead of starting a new one.
I think this thread is a little different, plus I got tired of trying to wade through the NEM-against-everyone drama on the other thread. I guess I am more interested to know what others would suggest we try to do yesterday? The Dolphins jammed our receivers at the line, and they had a devastating safety blitz that they used often. What plays would you have tried, and what are other types of offensive countermeasures that coordinators can use for various defensive situations?
I am new here but is is possible to have a private thread for members so issues like this do not happen - almost like an invitation list to a thread to maintain some sense of order
We were out performed to the max yesterday. I'm not sure that ANYTHING would have worked. When your WRs can't even get into their routes and the OL is blocking like matadors there isn't much you can do. The Defense was crowding the line against the pass, so it's not like the run game had an advantage from it that could be exploited. The only thing you can do in that situation is to back off a defense by burning them over the top of their defense, which we couldn't do. Our WR play didn't allow it.
One thing I noticed was the lack of 3-step drop passing plays. It seems that even after it was clear we had protection difficulties, we kept calling deep drops, and long-developing passing plays. Also, all those formations with 3 receivers all bunched up near the line of scrimmage are a horrible idea. Finally, I think we should have started using quick patterns to our slot receivers.

The Talladega County Drug and Violent Crime Task Force will be getting more than $200,000 in grant money to help investigate drug-related violent crimes. Alabama's Department of Economic and Community Affairs said in a release Thursday that more than $150,000 made available by the US Department of Justice along with an additional $50,000 in matching funds will go to Talladega County. Administered by ADECA and Governor Robert Bentley, the money will help the law enforcement task force identify and apprehend suspected drug offenders and will also help in the surveillance and destruction of methamphetamine labs throughout the county.

The Golden State Warriors will have forward David Lee active for their second-round series against the San Antonio Spurs. Still, this doesn't mean he'll be able to play a significant role, as he told reporters -- including Kyle Bonagura of CSN Bay Area -- that "we'll have to see how it progresses.""I'll be in uniform, but we'll just have to see how it progresses and maybe actually play a couple minutes," Lee said.Lee surprised everyone when he returned for the Warriors' Game 6 contest against the Denver Nuggets. He had torn his hip flexor during the first game of the series, leading many to believe he was finished for the remainder of the season.While Lee was able to return, he only saw the court for a little over a minute. It's still to be determined if he'll be able to log meaningful time against the Spurs. The swelling in his hip has subsided for the most part, but he still doesn't have much power to push off his right leg. Bonagura notes that Lee's recovery includes a lot of stretching and flexibility work in order to improve his quad and groin.Follow @hoopsinjurynews

On the ground in New Jersey and New York City, an ecosystem of law enforcement, federal agencies, industry partners, smart phones, tablets and more is built around one of the biggest events of the year: the Super Bowl. Behind the show of force on the ground is a public safety cloud linking all the people, data and action in order to maintain the highest level of security.
The undertaking involves an immense amount of shared information among numerous partners, from first responders reporting suspicious activity to movements of team buses. All of that information streams as a feed into a command center, where the information is prioritized by analysts and a full picture of Super Bowl situational awareness is displayed on a centralized screen -- or on the smart phones or tablets of those accessing the data from the ground.
"The idea is to collaborate among lots and lots of agencies and partners," said Anthony Beverina, president of public safety and commercial business at Haystax Technology, which is providing threat-detection technology and cloud services, along with Amazon Web Services. "For us, cloud computing is a fantastic lever because it gives us the ability to create these big, collaborative environments where all of this information can be fused. Everybody comes to the party with a certain amount of information and a certain need for information."
As federal agencies struggle to share information, particularly related to potential threats, the public safety cloud serves as a case study in connecting numerous disparate groups and people to identify and mitigate security risks.
"When I look at what we're doing for the Super Bowl, we're doing so many things that the federal agencies are trying to do as well, but they tend to do it with a set of requirements and a lot of contractor time," said Haystax CTO Bryan Ware. "It's slower, it's more expensive, it doesn't leverage commercial technology as much, and often times when we see what some of the fed agencies have its not even as technically sophisticated or user-focused as the things we're able to do."
The problem is multi-fold: Federal agencies' processes don't allow for much agility and budgets preclude buying lots of new technology.
"The greatest lessons learned were when the state and local entities tried to do their own thing and just couldn't afford it," Ware said. "So they started buying commercialized products, and I think in this new budget environment that federal agencies find themselves in, they have that same issue -- they don't have the time or dollars to build something that's custom for them. They have to buy what industry has, and then tailor that to their mission."
And then there is the fundamental reluctance to reveal too much, particularly in the wake of high-profile government leaks.
"At a federal level, agencies feel like when they share too much information they put that information at risk ... so then there's a tendency to not share as much and keep it to a small number of users," Ware said. "But when you do that, you have situations like [the Boston Marathon bombing] where maybe the FBI knew something about the Tsarnaev brothers beforehand. There's an inherent tension between the need to share information so that you have the best support for decision making, and the need to protect information from inappropriate use or disclosure."
But is moving to the cloud the answer to the government's problems in preventing the next attack on U.S. soil? Not entirely, but it could help, Beverina and Ware noted.
"The mission requires information-sharing, and there are tools available to protect information. It's just sometimes we don't use the tools because of lack of expertise, or we're moving too fast, or we're using older technology that doesn't have some of those capabilities built in," Ware said. "As we move to the cloud, it gives us an opportunity to revisit the security model to ensure data is protected, to make sure we understand who our users are and to be able to have the confidence that information is not going to be used or leaked inappropriately. The cloud doesn't give you that magical fix, but it gives you the opportunity to revisit some things that might be hard to change in your legacy infrastructure."

I took the springer to the range this morning. Didn't have much ammo, but I put 4 or 5 mags through it. I was shooting reloaded 185gr jacketed semi wadcutters at the 7 yard line. Not the best 7 yard group I've ever shot, but then again that's only my second time shooting a 1911, first time with that particular one.. maybe i'll get a little better with practice. The pistol is sweet to shoot, no malfunctions of any kind. I could shoot double, or single handed without a problem. The only thing that was less than awesome was the fact that it tends to hurl the spent casings near your face. I suppose thats just how it is with a standard ejection port.

You hit the paper, so you'll hit the bad guy! Thanks for the report!
You have an excellent pistol, you'll get used to it soon.
If those groups were shot off a sandbag rest at 7 yards,,,,,,,,, your gun might have some fit issues (barrel to bushing or barrel/slide lock up). If those groups were shot standing,,,,,,,,,,, that's a very good starting point.
There is in life perhaps one fleeting moment when the courage, dedication and resolve of one man gambling against all odds will alter the destiny of nations.
Thanks for the replies! I'm sorry I should have mentioned I was standing, no bench or rest of any kind. My local outdoor range has benches for the rifle part of the range, but you have to stand at the pistol range.

World Cup Eats: Go Team USA!
by rmehta in View All Posts, June 25th, 2010Run with the ball, because even if you aren't a soccer fan, you can't avoid World Cup fever. Go team USA! When Landon Donovan scored in the final minute against Algeria this past week, the overwhelming vuvuzelas never sounded so sweet. Can you say GOOOOOOOOOAL?!
When you tune in to the USA vs Ghana game Saturday have fast summer-stunner eats on hand. Each takes less than 20 minutes to prep; I'd suggest keeping your appetizers simple and fun so as not to distract from the screaming, high-fiving and even fist pumping.
To increase Team USA's odds welcome your guests with Rachael's Lucky 7 Layer Dip or one of Food Network's other crowd-winning dips. Party it up with Giada's Prosciutto-Wrapped Crudite for a mix of fresh summer veggies. And go for the goal with Bobby's Grilled Flatbread with Asparagus Pesto! You can always rely on your guests to bring a classic six-pack but in case you want to up the World Cup ante let them wash everything down with Ina's luscious Long Island Iced Tea.

Great hostel located close to the lake and the town but not right in the thick of it which was nice. Lovely balcony and big well equipped kitchen. Bathrooms were big and very clean. Bedrooms a little cramped but that was more because other guests spread there things all over the dorm. Only downside was my bed was a bit hard. Would recommend to friends!

Kitchen area was spacious, as were dorm rooms. The atmosphere was really laid back and quiet. It catered well to big groups but for the independent traveler who is young and anxious to get out and see the area, there is something lacking.

Keys were given but no one really used them - not the fault of staff! Just guests being too lazy to lock the door behind them. Staff were very helpful :)
