Fish vs Sharks: Predator Prey simulation
Many years ago, A.K. Dewdney wrote an article in Scientific American Magazine (December 1984) about a world called Wator, which is a world of fish and sharks. The world is a cellular automaton with each cell being in one of three states: empty, a shark, or a fish. The world is calculated repeatedly,...

Logo Turtle Graphics in WPF
Logo is a programming language that somehow involves a turtle. Imagine a turtle on a large piece of paper on the floor. The turtle has a pen. You can command the turtle to go forward, turn right, then repeat 4 times to draw a square. The last time I wrote about Logo (in 2006) I hadn't read the...

WPF immediate mode graphics
Windows Presentation Foundation (WPF) is a retained mode graphics system (see Retained Mode Versus Immediate Mode ). That means when you write code to draw something, you're actually declaring a set of graphics objects (like lines or shapes) to use. The graphics library then creates a model in memory...

Using and styling a treeview in WPF

Writing programs using .Net is very productive. One reason is because much of memory management is "managed" for you.

Secrets of sprouting your own seeds
Now rinse the seeds under warm running water and drain off the excessive water. Place the jar at a 45-degree angle inside a plate, dish or bowl in your selected warm and dark spot. The sprouting process will now begin.
One more essential task: The seeds must be rinsed with tepid water at least twice a day, or they may spoil. Seeds should always be kept moist, but never too wet or completely dry.
In three or four days, alfalfa sprouts will have grown two yellow leaves (seed leaves or cotyledons) and curly roots. Now the jar is ready to be placed in sunlight for the photosynthesis process, which turns the sprouts a healthy green and takes about half a day.
When all the leaves are green, the sprouts are at their optimum nutritional value and are ready to be used and eaten!
Sprouted seeds can be kept in the fridge for a couple of days (in a plastic container), but they do taste best when eaten the first day. If you sprout in small batches, you will always have a fresh supply for daily use, or even to give away.
Once you get the hang of this, you may want to try other seeds: sunflowers, wheat, rice, radish, garbanzo, cabbage, black-eyed peas, corn, adzuki beans, soybeans (these should not be older than one year, or they may not germinate), and even peanuts. Experiment and discover your own favorites.

Is that like "train your ears" so you can hear the benefit of gold-plated speaker cables?
Lest we forget the actual reason for the H1B program, as succinctly stated by former Fed chairman Alan Greenspan .....
"...by opening our borders to large numbers of highly skilled immigrant workers, we would provide a new source of competition for higher earning employees, thus driving down their wages."
How ironic that the destruction of well-paid American jobs has been so successful that the Government is now considering scaling back the program because it hits them in the pocket.
The UK is in dire need of a revolution.
Can't disagree, but how would you organize one? Can't use the phone, can't use email. If you walk from house to house the cameras will identify you. If you use carrier pigeons the Government will probably invest in nets.
The irony is that if the Internet had existed in 1776, America would probably still be a British colony.
That's ok, we can just send up a shuttle with spare parts and fix it. Oh, wait a minute ...
Well said, Brenda McViking. AC 6:53, Richard Noble has not been blessed by luck, but by tenacity. I was a team member for Thrust 2 and saw the incredible difficulties he went through to maintain funding for the project - all while under the pressure of risking his life on a daily basis behind the wheel. If you had been there - two years running - you would know the only "luck" Richard had was bad. He kept the funds flowing and the team morale high through sheer force of personality. I was in the Black Rock Desert for Thrust SSC also, and heard the sonic booms. He was not the driver and was free to exercise his formidable organizing ability, and the Thrust SSC operation ran like clockwork, while a few miles away on the same desert at the same time, former record holder Craig Breedlove was disorganized to the extent that he was scarcely able to get the engine started on his million-dollar project. Incidentally, if you had been there - on either occasion - you would not presume to lecture him about humility. But like everyone, he has a private and a public face, and when he's in "project mode" he is effectively on stage.
Ok, I'm biased, I like him. But Richard Noble is one of those people who doesn't know what can't be done. We need more like him.
While the assault in this particular case can probably be attributed to one person, unfortunately this kind of prosecutorial overreach is ubiquitous throughout the US "justice" system. Persons with such flawed judgement not only belong, but advance rapidly in their careers, by carrying out exactly this kind of ferocious assault - providing it results in the patsy taking the plea.
those are illegal and if I were running a company I would refuse them too.
Indeed, and the world would applaud you for it. Then you would pay, like Joseph Nacchio, former CEO of Qwest.
LOL, exactly the point I was going to make.
New versions of Windows are only of benefit to Microsoft. Everyone else just gets a world of trouble and expense.
What's really a waste of energy is a modern technology company thinking it can do anything to impress the Greens. Maybe if they powered the data centers with pedal driven generators, or replaced them with fields of organic vegetables, that might work.
I still find it hard to understand why people hate Thatcher so much.
I can give you my reasons.
It was her utterly inexplicable and hubristic policy to hold a strong Pound at or above $2.40, by maintaining interest rates above 18%, and keeping it up for more than two years. If you ran a manufacturing business, as I did at the time, your domestic customers weren't going to invest in new plant at those rates, and you were priced right out of foreign markets. I believe it's this that did more damage than anything else to the UK manufacturing base.
Worse, the almost overnight transition from record low to record high interest rates devastated the housing market. My monthly mortgage payments more than doubled over three months, and a year later people were just walking away from their under-water properties.
Everyone remembers the miners and privatization, nobody seems to remember the depression.
In other words, they only started thinking about innovation when faced with the prospect of losing their cosy monopoly.
Isn't that true of all large corporations?
BT spent fortunes on research! System X for example predated its privatisation by many a year.
Interesting that you mention System X. I recall how many years and how many millions went into that piece of corporate welfare for the telecom suppliers cartel, when an equivalent system could have been bought for a fraction of the cost off the shelf from the US. Having said that, I will never forget my jaw-dropping astonishment when I made my first system X long distance call and instead of 15 seconds of clicks and whirrs, the phone at the other end started ringing as soon as I keyed the last number.
For cable TV it's probably defined in the local contract, but for data, monopoly arrangements probably depend on the thickness of brown envelopes handed to the local utilities commissioners by the incumbents.
Matt seldom has a point to make, that's why his posts always contain ad hominem attacks and insults. Matt's overall theme seldom changes - "The US Government can do no wrong, and its critics are the enemy".
"..running my own generator.."
The idea has merit. At these prices, a generator rigged to run on gas instead of gasoline could actually work out cheaper than the grid, providing you don't use the power for heating. In a permanent installation you might be able to recover enough waste heat from the engine to keep warm.
If you could disguise it as renewable, with a fake windmill or some panes of black glass on the roof, it could even become a useful source of extra income.
I still use PFE occasionally, especially when I need keyboard macros. It's primitive, but fast. It could do the TADREP test with two easy find-and-replace in less time than it took to read about it.
Corkscrew action, fnarr fnarr. Plus 1.
Resveratrol capsules, 100mg, $15 for 120 at my local grocery store. According to the writing on the bottle, 1 capsule equals 100 glasses of red wine. Not as much fun, but a considerably cheaper way of getting it if you believe in that sort of thing..
No, please not a Yucatan meteor. I only live 1500 miles from Redmond, and in any case they're too close to Yellowstone for comfort.. A Tunguska meteor will be quite sufficient.
Correct, sir - the Eiffel Tower is made of wrought iron. For what it's worth, it weighs 7,300 tons.
Correct, it's ridiculous. When I was running a small internet sales operation a few years ago, I refused to accept orders from my own state to avoid the complexity of charging something like 17 different rates. I was still required to register for sales tax, deposit a large bond, and make monthly tax returns. All my returns were for $0.00, on which I incurred a penalty if they were a day late.
The research actually shows that melting permafrost may release carbon dioxide into the atmosphere much faster than previously thought. That's science. Insertion of the words "climate-warming", however, diminishes the authority of the paper. That's religion.
Every computer user in New Zealand should install a Bit Torrent client, whether they intend to use it or not. Call it a gesture of solidarity.
"...a peer to peer Windows for Worksgroups network (remember that!)"
Yes - I'll never forget the blinding epiphany when I discovered I could add computers on the existing network without having to pay the Novell tax.
Dave Bell, you are right. The British were still using Lyddite (picric acid) at Jutland. It was too sensitive and the shells exploded on impact, not after penetration. The Germans were using TNT.
>Cameron is the UK's Bush!
If Cameron is the UK's Bush - and he seems out of touch enough - then Blair was the UK's Cheney. Cameron is ineffectual, but Blair was evil. Never forget the atrocities visited on the British way of life by the Blair government in the name of "security" (don't forget to hold your head up when you leave your house so the security cameras can get a good facial recognition). How anyone could consider voting for either of these parties is beyond me. By the way, who is this man "Clegg" I hear about every few months? Is he something to do with the government? If so, he must be Johnson's Hubert Humphrey.
Given the unattractive choices in the next election, Screaming Lord Sutch would have had his best chance ever. Too bad he checked out too early.
Sooner or later, the last of these copyright maximalists will die, and then we can move on.

I wonder how they'll dispose of these mercury arc rectifiers, which contain a pint or three each. Most of these are in the UK.
"Mercury is also not exactly cheap"
The current price is $1850 per flask - a standard flask contains 76 pounds so that works out to $24 a pound (US dollars). A pound is about the volume of a golf ball and that will make a LOT of fillings. If you don't want to buy a whole flask, you can buy it by the pound from prospecting and mining suppliers in the US for not a lot more than $24. It costs at least ten times more from reagent chemical suppliers. I imagine that five years after the ban the black market price will be more costly than silver, so a flask today could be a good retirement investment.
I wasn't aware that there was any kind of fluorescent bulb that didn't use mercury. They all need a UV emitter and there aren't many choices. Still, in a few years high power LEDs will be cheap enough to take over most lighting applications. Let's just hope the environmental fascists don't discover they're made of toxic elements and the process involves toxic gases.
Honestly, I'm getting tired of this wholesale banning of elements on the grounds of exaggerated fear.
No, the Katrina guy was the other Mike, Michael "heck of a job Brownie" Brown. Michael Chertoff was the guy in charge of the Department of Homeland Security, who left public service to set up lobbying group Chertoff Associates in order to continue, er, servicing the public.
If I recall correctly, the naked scanner project resulted from that incident where some halfwit with underpants full of fake explosive, but no passport or boarding pass, was assisted onto a US-bound plane by what appeared to witnesses to be an official with authority over the flight security personnel. Hmmm. Strange that we never found out who he was.
"Call, write or email your representatives..."
These "representatives" of which you speak sound interesting. Unfortunately, I haven't got one - they gave me a "lawmaker". I'm sure he represents someone, perhaps the people with names starting with "Americans For ..." something that paid for all his campaign ads, except the one paid for by the US Chamber of Commerce.
No, I don't think I have. Not in the USA, anyway. Of course I'm not familiar with all the cases decided, but in the high profile ones I've heard of it's normal for someone accused of, say, killing six people to get six consecutive life sentences, occasionally with an extra 100 years tacked on just in case.
There was a Doonesbury strip about this a few years ago.Zig outsourced his job to India, and to avoid getting caught he had the offsite engineer deliberately screw up every few weeks.
True, it is not EVERY light. Local governments have enough budget problems already, and can't afford to put out a lot of capital now to save money later. This problem has been ingeniously tackled by the lighting manufacturers, though, who (in my city at least) upgraded many incandescent traffic lights to LED at their own expense in exchange for several years' worth of the money saved on the electricity bill.
If you had any sense, you wouldn't keep the backup on your premises, encrypted or not. Standard Plod behaviour these days for all crimes from traffic tickets up is to seize everything electronic in the house, including your cell phone, and hold onto it for weeks. I'm sure in most cases they never even turn it on, they just want to cause you the maximum inconvenience. Whatever, a backup drive is no use to you if you don't have a computer to run it on. You need a full running backup computer off site in a place they don't know about.
Stop! This thread has become Too Silly. No more Yorkshiremen. Bring on the skating vicars.
It's not that it's boring, it's that it's discredited.
Not only that - the linked article posts a gmail address. If genuine, that means Google knows everything there is to know about Ms Stob including her cat's name, her cell phone number and her shopping history. It also has a picture of her home from the street and a list of wifi signals detectable outside. If Google doesn't display a genuine picture of the lady, it has a reason not to, probably sinister. CONSPIRACY!
"..it is only a matter of time before you're accepting disclaimers before starting the car."
That day is already here. My wife's car requires that you click to agree to its software terms and conditions before any electronics beyond the basic speedo and gauges will work, and then another disclaimer that you won't use the GPS navigator while you're driving(!). Then the radio won't work unless you agree to IT'S terms and conditions ... hold the wheel and watch the road for me a minute while I read this ... ah, it says I agree not to use it while I'm driving.
Strangely enough, the vehicle makes no mention of Google.
Signature may usually not be required for concluding an agreement, but surely identification must be. Unless it can be proven that it was actually my finger that clicked the mouse button, there can be no case for me to answer.
For a definitive answer as to why we need more immigrant techies, let us review the immortal words of Alan Greenspan. Quoting from his memoirs, as excerpted in Newsweek, he wrote:
"As awesomely productive as market capitalism has proved to be, its Achilles' heel is a growing perception that its rewards, increasingly skewed to the skilled, are not distributed justly. ... we need to address increasing income equality now. ... by opening our borders to large numbers of highly skilled immigrant workers, we would ... provide a new source of competition for higher earning employees, thus driving down their wages."
Really? Organised crime, like in bootleggers?
The Paedo Mob must be the first crime organisation in history that isn't supplying something for which there's a strong public demand, coupled with a government prohibition that a majority of the public doesn't agree with.
One wonders why Ms May chose the readership of the Sun as the target of this particular piece of mob oratory, rather than (say) the readership of the Daily Mail.
For those without a Tesla coil, one second in the microwave is equally effective on RFID chips.
In other words, go full speed ahead with carbon cap and trade. You know it makes sense!
Here, here. There must be many people besides the participants who know who attended. It's time for some of them to do their civic duty and reveal the names.
The Altair sure bore a marked resemblance to the slightly earlier Intel Intellec 8. I wonder if they might be related?
They delighted in making me blush - although they were nowhere near as bad as running the gauntlet in the all-women data preparation room.
Oh, I remember those days. I was very young and it was - educational. You mean people actually do that?
"Without the blessing and goodwill of the people (and I mean the populace, not the legislative) laws are ineffective and will be extensively broken."
Indeed, the difficulty of getting civil servants to do some work will seem insignificant against the difficulty of getting a jury to convict under the proposed laws.

Vibrant colors throughout further accentuate these lively open spaces. the clinic's 5,932-sf layout allows doctors and staff to enter from a dedicated, covered parking area on the north side, while patients enter under a covered porch at the southeast corner. adminis- trative areas are located in the central core, allowing the staff direct access to all exam rooms. Patients are able to privately circulate to exam rooms located at the facility's periphery. the result is a definitive separation between the clinic's public and private realms, with natural light diffusing the boundaries. in addition to creating a well-or- ganized interior, the Nader Group crafted an exterior that complements its Fort Worth south location. By respecting the scale and material palette of the surrounding buildings, the tanna clinic maintains the continuity of its environment while creating a distinctive new presence.

Darren Collison actually calls Wednesday's game against Washington a "must win"
Rarely, if ever, do you hear an NBA player describe a Nov. 14 game as "must win" _ particularly when it's a home game against a winless opponent.
Yet after the Mavericks' practice at American Airlines center on Tuesday, point guard Darren Collison did indeed describe Wednesday's game against 0-5 Washington in that manner.
Such an admission says a lot about where the Mavericks (4-4) are at this juncture of the young season. They have lost three straight games and the last two have been brutal defeats to 1-4 Charlotte and a severely short-handed Minnesota team.
"We're not going to overlook them," Collison said of the Wizards. "That's a tough team, as far as we're concerned. We really need to win that game."
Is it too soon in the season to call it must win, Darren?
"No, we've got to win this next game," he said. "We have to win this game. It's a must-win for us, for the simple fact that we did let some wins slip from us. But like I said, that's the NBA. You're going to have some highs and lows. We've got to be able to bounce back strong."

Crossplatform PS3 and PS Vita games only require one purchase
The idea of being able to play a PS3 game and then be able to continue exactly where you left off on the PS Vita is a feature Sony and even Konami's Hideo Kojima has been touting.
Many initially speculated that gamers would have to purchase a combo pack price of both versions of the game for the PS Vita and PS3, which may still be the case for some. According to the PlayStation Blog, gamers will only have to purchase one copy of the game for both versions for many of the launch titles.
- When you buy MotorStorm RC you will be able to play it on PS3 and PS Vita at no additional cost.
- When you buy Hustle Kings and/or Top Darts for PS Vita, you will get the PS3 versions for free. If you already own these games on PS3, you'll be able to download the PS Vita version for free.
- If you purchase WipEout 2048 and you already own WipEout HD and the HD Fury DLC on PS3, you will be able to download them for free when they launch on PS Vita later this spring.
- DLC purchased for the PS3 version of Ultimate Marvel vs. Capcom 3 can be used on the PS Vita version for free (and vice versa).
Additionally, games such as WipEout 2048 and Hustle Kings will allow gamers to compete against each other via Vita and PS3. This finally means that PS3 owners will now be able to play with someone that may not even own a console.
This is probably the first initiative of this kind, as this is something PSP and DS gamers have been asking for ages.

|Celtics on eBay: Bill Russell's signed parquet
|09.16.11 at 4:03 pm ET
It's time to take you into the weekend with the eighth edition of Celtics on eBay. We ask, "Would you pay [a pretty penny] for [current or former member of the Celtics]' [eBay item]?" Confusing enough? Good. Let's get started.
We've had some pretty hefty landslides in weeks past, but it's always interesting to find out — for example — that 42 people would be willing to pay $275 for Brian Scalabrine's sweat-soaked Celtics practice jersey. Who are these people with that kind of expendable scratch, and how do I hang out with them?
Anywho, this week's item is pretty straightforward: A 4×9-inch piece of the old Boston Garden parquet floor signed by Bill Russell, the greatest winner in sports history. Now, I've got to imagine more people would pay $300 for this than Scalabrine's skivvies. But who knows? Anything can happen when it comes to Celtics on eBay.

"Perfect replacement for stock camera"
Reviewed by Emmanuel Lund / May 18, 2012
ProCapture brings you lots of photo features within reach
Pro version removes output resolution restrictions and includes the "unlock" feature.
ProCapture isn't an app to apply filters, effects or edit pictures. It's an app that makes it simpler and adds features to the built-in camera. Actually it claims to be the perfect replacement for the default camera of your device.
First off, ProCapture is divided in two parts: left and right frame. Right frame just includes the trigger, a button for switching front/rear camera, launch the gallery or settings; and finally a thumbnail preview to see the last photo we took. From left menu you can select shooting mode (normal, timer, burst, panorama...), launch the gallery, enable/disable location, white balance (auto, daylight, cloudy...), exposure (from -2.0 to +1.5) and finally settings. In settings you can enable/disable histogram, composition, picture size and picture quality.
Main flaw: it doesn't allow you to switch between photo/video mode (just pictures). Anyway, it's still an excellent replacement for stock camera. Highly recommendable.
● Simple UI with easy access to all camera features.
● Panorama mode.
● Wide Shot mode.
● Reduced Noise mode.
● Camera composition aids: grid and Fibonacci spiral.
● Real-time on-screen histogram.
● Configure volume buttons for zoom or photo capture.
● Some options cannot be changed if you use a Scene Mode other than "Auto".
● Touch-to-focus is only supported by Android 4.0+.
● This camera app does not currently support video capture.
Minor bug fixes
Removed blackboard/whiteboard color effects as they were causing crashes on several devices.
Gallery action bar auto-hide tweak.
Fixed flipped warm/cold vintage labels.

Roddick, Henin-Hardenne reach second round
By Steve Ginsburg
NEW YORK (Reuters) – Andy Roddick served notice that he is
primed for a run at another U.S. Open title by whipping Florent
Serra in straight sets on Monday to lead a parade of seeded
players into the second round of the year's final grand slam.
"I'm really, really confident right now," said the ninth
seeded Roddick after his dominating 6-2 6-1 6-3 triumph in the
opening session of the year's final grand slam.
There were few upsets at the National Tennis Center, with
the notable exception of third-seeded Ivan Ljubicic, who was
ousted by Spain's Feliciano Lopez, 6-3 6-3 6-3.
On the women's side, advancing to the second round were
number two seed Justine Henin-Hardenne, number four seed Elena
Dementieva and 10th seeded Lindsay Davenport.
Under the watchful eye of new coach Jimmy Connors, Roddick
needed just 75 minutes to bounce Serra from the tournament. The
former world number one now faces Kristian Pless of Denmark or
Alberto Martin of Spain in the second round.
"It felt clean," said Roddick, the 2003 Open champion who
was shocked by Luxembourg's Gilles Muller in the first round
last year.
"I hit them well today. A little short the first couple of
games but I think I broke him more than he held serve today and
that's a large step for me.
"I'm putting a lot of returns in the court and I'm doing
something with them."
The 23-year-old Roddick, who rebounded from an inconsistent
summer by winning the Masters Series event in Cincinnati this
month, kept Serra off-balance by firing 10 aces while getting
70 percent of his first serves in.
Roddick said he enjoys the "presence" of the 53-year-old
Connors, a five-times U.S. Open champion and one of the
greatest players to ever step on the court.
"I'm excited every morning when I wake up to try to learn
new things," said Roddick. "His passion for the game and for
this process is huge. It's contagious."
The 36-year-old Andre Agassi, playing his last tournament
before retiring, was due to play Romanian Andrei Pavel on
Arthur Ashe Stadium in the marquee match of the night session.
Henin-Hardenne overwhelmed Italy's Maria Elena Camerin 6-2
6-1 in 74 minutes, just two days after she captured the New
Haven title in her only post-Wimbledon tournament.
Injury-prone Henin-Hardenne blasted 24 winners past her
bewildered opponent and looked in form despite sitting out much
of the summer with a nagging knee injury.
"The transition from New Haven to here wasn't very easy
because I didn't hit a single ball here on the U.S. Open courts
before my warm-up for my match today but I feel good," she
The 24-year-old Belgian, who won the 2006 French Open and
was a finalist at the Australian Open and Wimbledon, is not
making any predictions about her title chances.
"I'm not thinking too much about what could happen here,"
she said. "I'm healthy. That's very important. My knee is
feeling fine. I just have to be careful."
Advancing along with Henin-Hardenne was Davenport, who
showed no signs of the shoulder injury that forced her to
retire from the New Haven final.
The 1998 champion needed just 52 minutes to stop Czech
Klara Zakopalova 6-1 6-4. Despite the easy victory, the former
world number one was just settling in at Flushing Meadows.
"I'm not looking at the big picture of the whole New York
experience yet," said Davenport. "Today was the first day I
came here. You have to play.
"So I haven't really had time to digest exactly what's
going to happen in the ensuing days or weeks."
Dementieva advanced with a 6-1 6-4 victory over American
Laura Granville, while number six seed and 2004 champion
Svetlana Kuznetsova stumbled briefly but recovered to beat
Germany's Sandra Kloesel 6-2 2-6 6-3.

epa04264873 Republican majority whip from California Kevin McCarthy (C) walks out of a Republican leadership meeting at the US Capitol in Washington, DC, USA, 18 June 2014. McCarthy will likely succeed current Republican Majority Leader Eric Cantor after a Republican leadership vote in the House on 19 June. EPA/JIM LO SCALZO
The GOP's establishment and conservative wings each notched a victory Thursday as House Republicans elected two top leaders in a contest that highlighted strains within the party.
Members promoted Rep. Kevin McCarthy of California – who had been the third in command to House Speaker John Boehner – to the powerful post of House Majority Leader previously held by Virginia's Eric Cantor. Louisiana Rep. Steve Scalise, the head of the 176-member conservative Republican Study Committee, won the election to replace McCarthy as the Majority Whip position.
"I'll make one promise," McCarthy told reporters after the election. "I will work every single day to make sure this conference has the courage to lead with the wisdom to listen, and we'll turn this country around."
Despite early suggestions that conservatives would mount a considerable fight for the position, McCarthy's ascension became a fait accompli last week when numerous contenders took their names out of the running. Rep. Raul Labrador of Idaho, a favorite of Tea Party-affiliated members, launched a late bid against McCarthy but jumped into the race after his rival had already solidified support.
McCarthy, known as an affable and effective Whip, will now put his policy-making prowess and considerable fundraising abilities to use as Boehner's top lieutenant.
Scalise, for his part, beat back challengers Pete Roskam of Illinois and Marlin Stutzman of Indiana. He won the whip election on the first ballot, even after speculation that no candidate would obtain the needed majority to advance after one vote.
Scalise, who promised to "bring a fresh new voice to the leadership table," declined to say his victory should be seen as a win for the Tea Party.
"This is a win for America, because we're going to be a more united team moving forward," he said.
The Louisiana lawmaker, who will take over the job of corralling members of the party and counting votes before major floor action, brings with him a keen ear for the concerns of the party's most conservative lawmakers.
A southern Republican from a ruby red state, he'll also be viewed as a counter to Boehner and McCarthy, who hail from states won by Barack Obama in the previous two elections.

Via orwellwasright:
The controversy over the wearing of the niqab, hijab and burka in Western nations is picking up once again. For many Westerners, the wearing of the veil is a mark of a repressive medieval religion – the recent case in the UK where a Muslim school forced its female teachers to wear the hijab and the subsequent condemnation by officials at the National Union of Teachers is indicative of the backlash Muslim traditions face. Al-Madinah School in Derby is also accused of practicing discrimination between male and female pupils, forcing girls to sit at the back of the class – hardly a ringing endorsement for modern Islam's commitment to contemporary values on gender equality.
Another recent controversy emerged over the issue of Muslim wearing the veil while giving evidence in court, and similar issues were raised about whether or not Muslims working for the National Health Service should cover their faces when treating patients.… Read the rest

These hand-crafted aluminum pieces are both beautifully sturdy and delicate, a perfect balance of qualities. We commissioned them with a shop owner in Ubud; she invited us to their workshop to watch the craftsmen hammering gently away to create these intricate patterns, a delight to behold.
Use this set of tins to brightly tidy your space or hold a little something beautiful, like a plant or jewelry. Or, forget the wrapping paper; these work wonderfully as small gift boxes for a special present.

Treat your Brilliant Imports with TLC.
Products may show differences in color or texture that do not necessarily indicate defectiveness. Such differences are inherent in the manufacturing of hand made products, so you may expect that there will be minor distinctions.

Style and functionality combined. This cooker hood's sleek, modern design and bold lines really make it stand out from the crowd and with its angled facia, it's perfect for the taller chefs out there. With a 90cm width, it's larger than most hoods and would be best fitted over a range cooker or wide hob. The three venting speeds give you the choice and flexibility to deal with various cooking styles, while the two LED lights offer increased visibility. Equipped with two washable filters, it's a breeze to clean too.

Pros: Easy to use, looks good
Cons: Complicated
"This is a stunning piece of equipment, however, the chimney design which admittedly is only cosmetic and does not affect the mechanism, is not compatible to the cooker hood, it is impossible to fit the chimney to the hood by following the instruction manual. The dimensions quoted do not 'measure up to the fitting of the equipment, two phone calls to Baumatic Technical department failed to come up with a solution, a promise of a returned phone call never materialised. Good job I had a great fitter who managed to find a solution with great difficulty, what a great shame! Not a cheap appliance to have that sort of aggravation."

"This is by far the most powerful extract fan I have found under the budget of £450. With its unique design of black glass and stainless steel, it looks stunning in my new kitchen. However, the buttons are far too high for my wife (162cm) to reach. In fact, there is plenty of space to lower the buttons to make them more reachable for people with normal height."

This cooker hood will add a breath of fresh air to any kitchen. Strong, bold lines coupled with a sleek black and stainless steel finish make this model a real eye-pleaser. The angled facia means no more bumps or bruises on the noggin for taller cooks.
Keeping this beauty gleaming will be a walk in the park. There'll be no need to replace any niggling parts – the two washable grease filters can be removed then placed back onto the hood after cleaning.
Whether you're fast-frying a steak or gently boiling vegetables, this model's three venting speeds make it easy to adapt to all styles of cooking. The two LED lights will give you better visibility while you're whipping up your favourite meals and you'll find the push button controls very easy to use from day to day.
This Baumatic cooker hood strikes the perfect balance between style and usability. With its elegant looks and intelligent features, it's an ideal addition to any modern kitchen.

It was announced today that acting Justice Marcy Friedman of the New York Supreme Court has been appointed to the Commercial Division. She succeeds Justice Bernard Fried, who announced in February of 2012 that he would step down from the bench effective July of 2012. Judge Fried had served on the Commercial Division bench since 2004. Justice Friedman, according to her biography, is a University of Pennsylvania law school graduate who began her career at a large corporate law firm, then worked with the Legal Aid Society civil division and MFY Legal Services before being appointed to the New York City Civil Court system (housing court) in 1991. She was elected to the Civil Court in 1994 and re-elected in 2004, but has been sitting by designation in the New York State Supreme Court since 2000.
Justice Friedman joins Justices Bransten, Kapnick, Kornreich, Marks, Oing, Ramos, Schweitzer, and Sherwood on the Commercial Division bench. An article in the New York Law Journal additionally notes that Justices Bransten and Ramos have reached the mandatory retirement age of 70, but both are seeking dispensation from the Office of Court Administration to serve at least two more years in the Commercial Division beginning in 2013.

The biography of Nesîmî. This page has biographical information on Nesîmî, one of the best poets of all time. This PoetrySoup page also provides access to the poet's poems, best poetry, quotes, and video biographies...if available.
'Ali 'Imadu d-Din Nasimi (Azerbaijani : Seyid li Imadddin Nsimi , Arabic), often known as Nesimi, (1369 Unknown) –1417 skinned alive in Aleppo ) was a 14th-century Azerbaijani or Iraqi Turkmen urufi poet. Known mostly by his pen name (or takhallus ) of Nesîmî, he composed one divan in Azerbaijani, one in Persian, and a number of poems in Arabic. He is considered one of the greatest Turkic mystical poets of the late 14th and early 15th centuries and one of the most prominent early divan masters in Turkic literary history.
Sorry, no poems have been posted.

The ratio of your finger lengths, specifically your index and ring fingers, is determined by how much testosterone and estrogen you were exposed to as a fetus. Which in turn affects your sexual orientation down the line to varying degrees.
Sorry to come bringing down your sanctimonious little world view, but you really are just a slave to the chemical reactions in your cells.
#201 - EvilFluffyBunny (02/15/2013) [-]
Considering they have yet to determine exactly what determines a person's sexual orientation I will call bullshit on that. If that was the case then no one could argue that a person cannot be born homosexual. Just because a person is born with less testosterone does not make them homosexual. If that were the case then the men who do not produce testosterone would be gay. So, once again this is complete shit.
#252 - geddiz (02/15/2013) [-]
Sexual orientation is indeed a very complicated thing and considering I could only find a couple of sources that I'd consider approaching trustable, I was indeed being rash in such a broad claim, on spotty evidence. I was mistaken, sorry.
My intention wasn't to claim anything negating about homosexuals, just ridicule the flagrant oversimplification in OPs picture. Equality comes from maturely accepting and embracing differences, not pretending that deep down everyone's exactly the same or something else so cartoony.

Understanding how ATV leverages external drives
Forgive me for asking a question that has probably been answered before, but I wasn't 100% clear when I read through the various threads on this board. Here's my situation and question.
I have an rMBP, iPad (v1) and iPhone 4S. I have a Time Capsule. All of my media (MP3s, videos, photos) resides on an aging Windows PC connected to my HDTV. I would like to replace it with Apple TV (and say goodbye to Windows altogether), but only if I can do the following. Can I do the following?
Can I hook up an external USB drive to the USB port on Time Capsule, store all my media (MP3s, videos, photos) on the drive, then somehow get it to play on the Apple TV, seemingly through either my rMBP, iPad or iPhone? It sounds like that's possible based on my reading, but like I said I'm not sure.
If I can, how does that work in a practical sense? Does it go through my apple device (iPhone, for example) and then go to the ATV? Is there a drain on the phone/rMBP/iPad when I do this? Is there excessive lag doing this? I don't mind keeping one of these devices open if that's the requirement, I just want to know how it goes about doing its thing.
I'm interested in the Airplay Mirroring feature with my rMBP and iPhone, but want to be able to play my media without having to mirror...and without having to store all that media on my MBP's internal hard drive.
Thanks for any clarity you can provide.
|Aug 3, 2012, 11:19 PM
Using a jailbroken 2nd generation Apple TV would be the most elegant solution to your wants/needs. With a jailbroken ATV you could stream all of your media from the hard drive attached to the Time Capsule, negating the need for a middle device (iPad, iPhone, MBP etc).
The other option would be to use AirPlay to stream from your Mac to the Apple TV (2nd or 3rd gen) using the network attached storage device as the source containing all of you media.
However, AirPlay mirroring in my opinion, is a little inelegant in terms of a long term HDTV media player solution. There would be significant battery drain on your iDevice or MBP.
Because the 3rd generation Apple TV is not jailbreakable, and the 2nd generation Apple TVs go for around $200 on eBay, I would suggest holding onto your Windows media box or going for something like a Roku media player instead. Another (albeit more expensive) option would be investing in a Mac Mini to run Plex and thus replace the ageing Windows box.
I hope this helps.

That does help. Quite a bit.
You raise a good point that I now have to consider: Do I want to require the use of a "middle man" device (iPhone, rMBP, iPad) to have my media on the ATV? You're right that it does sound a bit inelegant as a long term solution.
I wonder if the Mac Mini is the way to go. I can't do Airplay to a Mac mini, can I?

If it helps at all, I recently went through this dilemma and ended up purchasing a 2nd generation Apple TV from eBay. It is working beautifully, it accesses all of my media located on an external hard drive connected to an AirPort Extreme. I use a free Apple TV application called "XBMC" to playback the media.

Mt. Lion can AirPlay iDevices though you need your Mac to be 2011 model and up.
You can try any of ATV2 on eBay or ATV3 on Apple Store.

I have my HDD (and you can use multiple ones with a hub) connected through the TC usb port. You do need to have iTunes running on something. I just keep the MBP lid open until I go to bed and then close it. Works great and has not impact on regular use of MBP or iPad.
17" MBP '09, 2.66 GHz, 8GB RAM; 13" MBP (Retina) '12, 2.5GHz, 8GB RAM; iPad 2, 32GB; iPhone 5s; AE; AppleTV 3; AEBS w 1TB Seagate HDD; 65" Mits DLP, Sony STR-DB1070 AVR

It was a total that needed to be met with careful planning. Mumbai Indians executed their plans almost perfectly to win back their confidence by posting their third win of the league and staying in the hunt for the last four place.
After containing Sunrisers Hyderabad to 158/3, Mumbai Indians reached the target with sevens wickets in hand at the Rajiv Gandhi International Stadium, Uppal, Hyderabad on Monday night.
Trinidadian Lendl Simmons played his role to perfection, giving Mumbai Indians the start they needed. For the second successive time, Simmons came good with the bat as an opener, mixing caution with aggression. Even though the 29-year-old right-hander lost his opening partner CM Gautam to a tame dismissal in the second over, he found a perfect comrade in Ambati Rayudu, who is a local lad as he hails from this place though he plays first-class cricket for Baroda. Simmons (68, 50b, 5x4, 4x6) and Rayudu (68, 46b, 7x4, 2x6) stitched together 130 runs for the second wicket. Mumbai thus moved to sixth place in the points table.
The defending champions, though, got off to a scratchy start, making only nine for one in the first three overs. But once Simmons slammed Irfan Pathan for two sixes and a four in the innings' fifth over, it was all about despatching the loose deliveries, and also some good length balls by making room, to the pickets.
Winning the toss and batting first, the home team's batting revolved around two Australians — Aaron Finch (68, 62b, 7x4, 2x6) in the first 10 overs and David Warner (55*, 31b, 6x4, 2x6) in the last 10. No doubt, Australians have made a huge impact in this IPL unlike in the earlier ones. If it was Steven Smith and James Faulkner in Bangalore on Sunday night pulling off a sensational win for Rajasthan Royals over Royal Challengers Bangalore, it was the Finch and Warner show as both reached half-centuries in constrating styles to take Sunrisers Hyderabad to a challenging total.
