I need to know the effective proof methods for proving the following:
$$5^n > n+4^n, ~~\mbox{for}~~~ n\ge2$$
A solution would be helpful. Even more helpful would be a breakdown of the thinking that leads to the solution. I'd like to be able to figure these out on my own.
I've been struggling with mathematical proofs and haven't been able to figure out some of the problems I've been assigned. Also, is there a general label or name for this type of statement?

YIELD: Makes 10 to 12 servings
ACTIVE TIME: 40 minutes
TOTAL TIME: 1 1/2 hours
- 1 (6- to 6 1/2-pound) whole beef tenderloin, trimmed of fat, silverskin, and the chain (see Cooks' Notes); or a 5- to 5 1/2-pound well-trimmed tenderloin roast
- Salt
- Freshly ground black pepper
- 4 tablespoons olive oil, divided
- 1/2 ounce (about 1/2 cup) dried porcini mushrooms, ground to a powder in a blender
- 1/4 cup (2 ounces) black-truffle butter, softened
- 1/4 cup all-purpose flour
- 1 pound crimini (baby bella) mushrooms, trimmed and quartered into wedges
- 3 cups beef stock or low-sodium broth, divided
- 1/2 cup chopped scallion greens
- Special equipment: Kitchen string; large heavy roasting pan; instant-read thermometer
Make a deep cut into the top side of tenderloin, about 4 inches from tail end, to facilitate folding the tail end under the roast to give the meat a more uniform thickness. Tie roast at 1-inch intervals with kitchen string.
Heat oven to 350°F with rack in middle.
Pat tenderloin dry and sprinkle all over with 1 teaspoon each salt and pepper, rubbing into meat.
Set roasting pan over 2 burners, then add 3 tablespoons oil and heat over medium-high heat until shimmering. Brown tenderloin on all sides, about 10 minutes.
Sprinkle porcini powder evenly on top of tenderloin and roast in oven until thermometer inserted diagonally 2 inches into center of thickest part of meat registers 120°F, 30 to 40 minutes.
Toward end of roasting tenderloin, stir together truffle butter and flour. Heat remaining tablespoon oil in a 12-inch heavy skillet over medium-high heat until shimmering, and sauté mushrooms with 1/4 teaspoon each salt and pepper until liquid released by the mushrooms evaporates and mushrooms are tender and golden, 10 to 12 minutes.
Add 2 cups stock to skillet and simmer, stirring up brown bits, 1 minute. Remove skillet from heat.
Transfer tenderloin to a cutting board and let stand 15 minutes (internal temperature will rise to about 130°F for medium-rare).
Set roasting pan over 2 burners and add remaining 1 cup stock. Bring to a boil, scraping up brown bits, then pour stock into mushroom mixture in skillet.
Bring mushroom mixture to a boil and whisk in truffle butter mixture, bit by bit. Reduce heat and simmer, whisking occasionally until thickened, about 2 minutes. Stir in scallion greens and salt and pepper to taste.
Cut tenderloin into 1/2-inch-thick slices, discarding string, and serve with sauce.
Cooks' Notes:
Whole tenderloins can come in various stages of trimming, particularly those from big-box stores. Some still have the chain attacheda long, thin, loose muscle hanging onto one side of the tenderloinwhich you'll want to remove and save for something like kebabs. (Either ask the butcher to do the honors or do it yourself.) Whether the tenderloin comes trimmed (a.k.a. peeled) or not, make sure there is no fat or silverskin left on the outside. If there is, remove it yourself with a sharp knife.
Porcini mushrooms can be ground 1 week ahead and kept in an airtight container at cool room temperature.
You can find black-truffle butter at specialty foods stores, or order it online from Amazon or D'Artagnan.
Crimini mushroom mixture can be made 1 day ahead and refrigerated once cooled. Reheat before proceeding with recipe.

O.K., this makes it much easier. Considering all of the admonitions in your explanation, I can do wo the bottom disk. It appears that none of the models in the OP create any concern for you, therefore take my pick. Thanks!! Appreciate it.
The post below is about a wind screen with a bottom disk that melted the lindal valve in the canister. Fortunately the stove didn't explode.http://www.backpackinglight.com/cgi-bin/backpackinglight/forums/thread_display.html?forum_thread_id=65243&startat=20
@John K – the disk for the new designs just drops onto the top of the stove, please find a trio of pictures below. You might also look at the thread Gary Dunckel has provided above, I found it very informative. The ring design was easy to put together, but the 3 point shield design was probably the simplest to make: a rounded rectangle with three small slots for the tips of the Micron's struts.I would note that the newer designs need a narrow pot; the diameter of the support struts must exceed that of the pot + air gap. I'm using a 95mm (3.7in) diameter Mini Solo pot. The Adjustable Original can accommodate up to a 150mm (5.9in) diameter pot along with a 15mm (.3in) air gap.As for which system I like the most, I won't know that until I finish testing.@Gary D – nice! I searched the forums a for "canister windscreen" a number of times but missed your thread. Our designs are so close you could sue me for copyright:) Plus your system has convertibility to alternate fuels, wish I'd considered that before I got started. Cutting down the Adjustable Original would solve the height issue and contribute to reducing the weight, but the fuss factor would remain – I have to mess about with paper clip suspension (which also hampers ease of stowage in my pot) and make sure I've inserted the stove through the disk before I attach it to the canister. I've not noticed issues with downward heat transfer when using my original. Like yours, my disk is mounted about 50mm (2in) above the canister valve ring. I wonder if the ti in the Micron stove might reduce the amount of heat that is conducted down the central tube? Also, the Micron has 4 large air intakes that reduce the amount of metal available for conduction.I will heed all warnings about overheating, and monitor fuel temperatures carefully and constantly. I hope to report on whether my reflector disk increases or decreases the canister temperatures.@Franco D – spreading the handles definitely works. I'm fortunate to have a family that sometimes backpacks with me, the handles are coated mostly for their safety.Thanks to all for the information about the dangers of disks - the risk is certainly real. Roger and others seek to minimize the background level of dead hikers. This is commendable, and they have the thanks of many for that. Progress note: My digital thermometer arrived today, I just need to sort out measuring windspeeds and I can start collecting data.
in an effort to develop a system for providing a windscreen that would work for many types of canister stoves. Pot shown is 700 ml. Materials are stainless steel (both the 1/4" mesh and the wires for the windscreen support) and titanium foil for the windscreen itself. Weight of both is 20 g. Feedback appreciated.
SWEET!My 1st impression is that the arched opening for access to the fuel adjustment valve may have to be user-modified, depending upon their particular stove. Unfortunately, some of the older stoves use those knurled knobs and leave little clearance below the burner head.
That is a clever design. How does the windscreen itself collapse for storage?
Feedback for the QiWiz design: Very adaptable idea. I wonder if you need the all of the square mesh? It is the stove struts that hold the pot, of course, so you could remove the center of the mesh and maybe trim the corners to form more of a ring shape. This would save save some weight and also permit use of 3 hooks (vs 4), further reducing parts and weight.Hope this works out as another good product for you, keep us posted please.

This would save save some weight and also permit use of 3 hooks (vs 4), further reducing parts and weight."What about adapting 3 hooks to "hang" of off the stove's pot supports instead of using any of the mesh at all?John asked,"That is a clever design. How does the windscreen itself collapse for storage?"From the pictures I'd hazard a guess that it rolls up to store in the cook pot because of the "hemmed" edges where it joins to form the circular shape.Party On,Newton
I had the same thought as John Donewar that the screening was unnecessay and bent 3 paperclips and attached them thru the little holes on the pot supports on my Pocket Rocket to hold a screen. I constructed a 2 1/4" high aluminum flashing windscreen with "finger clearance" around a Backcountry Ti mug. The screen just sits in the hooks of the bent paper clips (I am sure that paperclips will not hold up and would recommend stainless steel wire).I tested it this morning in 15mph winds with 2 cups of tap water and turned the Pocket Rocket to full blast and had a roiling boil in 3 minutes 15 seconds. The air temperature was 48F.Totally unscientific, but it seems to work great as a windscreen and the canister did not seem to get much excess heat.I did not take pictures.
Yes, the windscreen might need minor modification either to accommodate the burner controls or the pot handle.Yes, it could be even lighter by using a triangular format for the mesh and/or cutting out some of the mesh in the center (though a triangular format would not fit a four-support system well, whereas the square format is more universally workable).Also: the 3" square mesh with hooks only weighs 8 grams now, so not much savings to be had (I know, a gram is a gram).If your stove pot supports have a good place to attach a wire, you can add three wires to support the windscreen. I have tried this with a Pocket Rocket and it works fine, saving the weight of the mesh. The mesh allows this system to fit many available canister stoves without modification. As a product, that is a good thing. I could certainly have a DIY option in which someone would attach wires themselves to their stove. I would ship the wires (with some spares) and the windscreen.The titanium windscreen is rolled up inside or outside your pot or however you want to roll it. You could also use aluminum, though the titanium is nicer.I will be adding some things to my product line in late December or January, including a variety of titanium windscreens for all types of stoves, including canister stoves, alcohol stoves, and Esbit stoves. I have just taken a leap of faith with a fairly big order (20 meters) of 0.1 mm thick titanium foil, which is about 25% lighter/thinner than the foil that titanium goat carries. Can you dig it?

Built in 1926 in the Collegiate-Gothic style, the "new" Sarasota High replaced a high school on Main Street. The prominent Florida architect, M. Leo Elliott, designed this building, as well as Bay Haven, Southside, and Osprey elementary schools.
The 57-thousand-square-foot building was constructed at a cost of 317 thousand dollars. (If only we could make our 2008 dollars stretch that far with the budget challenges we face right now…).
Students from seventh through twelfth grade started classes here in the fall of 1927. Additional buildings were constructed over the years and land was added to the campus as the school population grew.
In 1996, almost 70 years after the doors of this building first opened, students began to move out, and its future was uncertain. But a number of people in the community felt strongly that this building had a future as well as a past. More importantly, several dedicated citizens were willing to work hard on a number of fronts to secure a new life for old Sarasota High.
Fast-forward to 2002, the start of a two-year process of community involvement and consensus-building known as the Sarasota High School New Life Initiative. Funders of the New Life Initiative included the School Board, the City of Sarasota, Sarasota County, the Selby Foundation, the National Trust for Historic Preservation and private donors. More than 200 potential uses of the historic building were considered.
In October 2004, the School Board voted to lease the historic Sarasota High School to Ringling College of Art and Design for an adaptive re-use of the facility as the Visual Arts Education Center and the Sarasota Museum of Art.
The School Board stipulated that any reuse of the building would include the preservation of its defining characteristics. Since that time, the school district has continued to maintain the building and, thanks to a 350-thousand-dollar grant from the Florida Division of Historical Resources, has restored various architectural elements of the building.
The grant funded the construction of an accessible entrance to the building to comply with the Americans with Disabilities Act, the removal of barriers to mobility into classrooms on the first floor, and the opening and restoration of four loggias (LO-jaz) — covered walkways with exterior arches — in the back of the building's first and second floors.

Know Your Enemy pres. by Pepsi Max: Nationals Edition
Here is my Q&A with William Yoder of the Nats Blog to get a sense of how Nationals fans feel about their team heading into tonight's game against the Mets
[jbox color="gray"]
Vinny Cartiglia: With the Nats sitting atop of the NL East, how do fans feel about possible shutting down Stephen Strasburg due to an innings limit?
William Yoder: Shutting down Strasburg at the start of September when the team is in the midsts of their first pennant race in history is an absolutely heart breaking but inevitable situation… Nationals fans, however, understand and have come to accept it as a neccessary and responsible sacrifice. General manager Mike Rizzo has done absolute wonders for this team since taking over for Jim Bowden, and while fans may be disappointed with his choice here, they trust his decision making on player personnel and development. He has helped vault us to the top of the National League in just a handful of years, and has earned the right to make these types of decisions. That being said, we are still confident in our team without Strasburg. We have arguable the best rotation in the game, and even with the best pitcher in baseball watching from the dugout, the team would have a playoff rotations of Gio Gonzalez (2.89 ERA), Jordan Zimmerman (2.43 ERA), Edwin Jackson (3.89 ERA), and Ross Detwiler (3.43 ERA). That's still a damn good rotation that any team would kill to have going into a playoff series.
All in all, it will be a huge loss, and one that may take the team from being a legitimate World Series contender to just a strong playoff one, but it's a loss that I feel this team is more than capable of handling. Losing an ace is one thing, but losing an ace in the rotation of aces is far less daunting.
For an on-field take on the Nationals, here is Matthew Cerrone talking with Joe Drugan of TheNatsBlog.com:

Your cart is empty!
My doctor recommended me vitamin D.I am using this from long time.I recommend it for all.
I usually got effected with cold and flu, but when i started using this product cold and flu are knocked out from me.
Great product very easy to take and almost tasteless. Easy to put drops directly on tongue. My babies needs Vitamin D supplement easy way to add it to her diet. I Love this product.....
It gave me a headache.
great product for a great price but remember that d3 has a halflife in your body of 3 weeks so taking 2000iu a day is a lot since it builds up for those 3 weeks, 2000iu every 5 days to a week is much more beneficial.

Slow Cooker Irish Potatoes Recipe
11 comments:
- Kristy Powell said...
PERFECT timing Stephanie! I was wondering what to do with the little bag of red potatoes in my fridge! I'm making steak for dinner on Sunday, and am definitely going to try out this recipe for the "magical" taters! Thank you!!
- October 10, 2010 at 4:17 AM
- The Boob Nazi said...
This totally reminds me of my time in Ireland. The potatoes were all red and very small, but we had them at EVERY meal. Thanks for the memories today.

- Boo's Mom said...
So, can I ask you about potatoes and the slow cooker? Because when I was a newlywed, I confidently put cut-up potatoes into my crockpot, with seasonings and I don't remember what else, and went off to work... and when hubby and I returned home to eat our dinner, we were faced with a terrifying gray mess. He's never let me forget it, though my cooking's been stellar before and since.
What's the secret? If you're guessing I've been afraid to try again, you're right. And yet, your Irish Potatoes look soooo good.
Thanks for the great site & wonderful recipes.

This looks like a tasty way to cook potatoes, but I have to ask (because I am Irish) - what makes this an "Irish Potatoes" recipe?
- October 10, 2010 at 7:41 PM
- Stephanie O'Dea said...
Hi Boo's mom--
huh!I bet the meat and/or seasoning discolored your potatoes. They'll take on color from broth or gravy. In this situation they won't though. ;-)
you can certainly start with the baked potatoes to ensure the color!
quinn, the magically delicious part? I think it's just the tie in of potatoes=Irish. and lemony potatoes with green onion and dill is too much of a mouthful. ;-)
- October 10, 2010 at 8:02 PM
Living where electricity rates are very high, I question the economy of six hours of an electric cooker versus twenty minutes of propane (for my stove top) just to cook the potatoes....all the flavourings are added at the end.
The taste sounds great, but why use a slow cooker?
- October 10, 2010 at 8:27 PM
- gfe--gluten free easily said...
So simple, Steph--thanks! I'm always happy to add to my potato repertoire! ;-)
I can't tell you how wonderful it was to spend time with you this past weekend at BlogHer Food! Not enough time (never enough, right?), but quality, friend time none the less. Much appreciated! :-)

Yes, I know that treason carry's the death penalty. I also know that you don't need to be in the military to be charged with treason. What I meant was that the government won't likely press for the death penalty, since he wasn't originally in the military and then defected. It would be very difficult to give him the death penalty.
you dont need to be a member of the militray to be tried for treason.
i dont think, you just need 3 witnesses
treason DOES carry the death penalty
Generally speaking, he was a low level grunt (cannon fodder, or if you prefer, canon fodder) and had no undue influence over the taliban leadership. It would be like charging a line infantryman from WW2 Germany with genocide, even though he merely fought in the hedgerows and forests. You couldn't execute him. Most constitutional lawyers would agree (or at least the ones on CNN, anyway), it is too far a stretch of the treason and sedition act. Possible, yes. Likely, no.
As for murder and helping an enemy of the state, send him to Leavenworth for a few years. That will teach him.
Intent is also something that will need to be proved. He did not join the taliban because he hated the US. He joined because of his religious zeal. He thought that his reading of the Koran and it's intent made it obligitory to fight with the taliban. He wanted to get rid of all opposers of strict Islam in Afghanistan. I am certain that at first, he didn't know that the taliban and al Quada opposed the US and wanted us to go down in flames. But, when you have been brain-washed by a cult-like group, you will support them, even unto death. So as for his acceptance of the devastation that the al Quada and it's agents pushed upon the world, it could be argued that he was brain washed.
Regardless of how you feel about him, remember this, we do not have all of the facts in this case. The US government doesn't have all of the facts in this case. So, everything is mere speculation. I am for justice. But it must truly be just and even handed, not ruled by emotion.

JOEY MAC AWARD MYSTERY SOLVEDPlus: Notes on a weekend without games
With each day, the mystery grew deeper with a segment of Islanders fans. How come the Islanders did not honor Joey MacDonald for being the team's Player of the Month for November? Is there a conspiracy involved? The subject was a matter of frequent discussion in the Comments area during the team's recent road trip.
We dug deep and learned that MacDonald did receive his award. This season, the Islanders have not hosted on-ice pre-game ceremonies to honor the Sharp-sponsored Player of the Month. The team's game ops crew records a "photo op" earlier in the day with the winning Islander and then broadcasts the footage on the scoreboard during a timeout in the game while public address announcer Roger Luce does the narration.
Islanders sources confirm that MacDonald did receive his Sharp Islander of the Month Award for November and that footage of the goaltender getting his award was shown during a game in early December.
On to the next crime scene.
With the Islanders a whopping 19 points out of the last playoff spot in the Eastern Conference, the focus changes with 40 games left in the season. Somewhat uncharacteristically – but welcome all the same – head coach Scott Gordon started talking about an emphasis on youth in the aftermath of the Islanders' loss in Calgary on Thursday night. Greg Logan has all the quotes from Gordon here.
Doug Weight, heart-on-his-sleeve talker, made some frank comments to Logan about understanding the Islanders' situation, but also this: "If I'm earning (icetime) and playing well, I would certainly expect to be on the ice." I doubt we've heard the last of this subject.
So now the latest challenge for Coach Gordon is managing the delicate balance between not alienating older players who have done their part like Weight and Bill Guerin, while providing the younger players with the proper amount of icetime in the second half. This is not easily done. The simplest way, of course, is to try to move veterans in trades, but that's not always the right solution.
As we've said, should be an intriguing next eight weeks.
Today's lineup at Iceworks for a 90-minute practice:
Comeau – Comrie – Okposo
Tambellini – Nielsen – Hunter
Sim – Bailey – Park
Bergenheim – Thompson – Jackman
Streit – Gervais
Witt – Martinek
Campoli – Pock
Notes: Bill Guerin was given the day off the ice, but worked out in the weight room…Officially, the Islanders would not declare Frans Nielsen and Nate Thompson set for Tuesday's home match against Petr Prucha and the Rangers, but they appear to be getting closer…Rick DiPietro did not practice…Andy Hilbert, said to be closer, also did not practice.
Veteran Newsday scribe John Jeansonne was in for Greg Logan, who finally got home from Calgary via Ottawa late last night. John had a one-on-one with the head coach, so check out his coverage for anything I may have missed.
Looking to see a live hockey game tonight? Go see Trevor Smith and the Sound Tigers as they host Hartford at 7:00 pm at the Arena at Harbor Yard in Bridgeport. Call 203.334.GOAL or simply get thee to the Harbor Yard box office.
After a 4-1 loss Friday night in Providence, the Sound Tigers are 23-11-2-2. Leading scorer Mike Iggulden (16-25-41 in 37 games) and defenseman Andrew McDonald (pushing for an Islanders job) were named to the Canadian roster for the AHL All-Star Game on Jan. 26.
Hoping to listen to some hockey talk on the radio today? Check out "NY Hockey This Week" at 5:30 pm on 1050 ESPN Radio with Don La Greca and yours truly. More often than not, these weekly shows have been at least half Islanders-dominated. Last week we had both Doug Weight after his 1,000th NHL point and legendary broadcaster Jiggs McDonald. No word from the Islanders on a guest yet. But you never know, and we should have time to take a few calls.
We could easily chew up the rest of the month on the Rick DiPietro discussion (and might need to!). I appreciate that more than 75% of the responses seemed to at least hear me out and I certainly understand all sides to the argument.
The standout nay-saying was the perception by more than a handful of fans of the team's marketing of DiPietro. "His hype is greater than his play at this point," wrote one reader. Another said he was tired of the team "thrusting DiPietro on him like he was the second coming of Terry Sawchuk and Billy Smith."
Honestly, I don't know about that. Rick signs autographs at the mall, has run a goalie camp for kids at Iceworks and shares one-fifth of the cover of this year's media guide. Hype machine? Folks, it's hockey in New York. Hype is a relative term.
As for the notion that I defended DiPietro because I wanted to be in the good graces of the Islanders, that's a fair throwdown, but wrong. Actually, I'm finding the silence liberating.
As for the idea that DiPietro and I are close, you do have me there. Yes, it is true – Ricky and I roll. He doesn't love it when I bring my three little kids along when we go to Nobu, but we usually throw the boys in a town car back to RVC before Deeps, me and Strahan meet up with MC and Hilary at GoldBar.
The conversation continues in Comments. Tomorrow: a Lighthouse update.

Gaerne Carbon G.Chrono Road shoes £299.99
Stiff, light and comfortable shoes, but for the price it would be nice to be able to mould them.
Weight 552g Contact www.hotlines-uk.com
Previous Review
Next Review
At 552g/pair (size 43), Gaerne G.Chrono Road shoes are among the lighter road shoes around. They're also tough, comfortable and extremely stiff.
Unless you have your own mechanic-cum-bike cleaner or far too much time on your hands, then some things in bike life should be black. Handlebar tape, tyre rubber, saddles and shoes are all easier to look after if they're black, and it's definitely part of the reason why the Gaerne Carbon G.Chrono Road shoes have been my favourite shoes for many months now.
Of course, it's far from being the only or the most important reason, and there are other colours available if you don't have the good sense to stick with sensible black.
Stiff & comfy
Where the Gaerne G.Chrono Road shoes really score is their combination of rigidity and comfort. That they don't trouble the scales much is just the icing on the cake.
The comfort comes from the carbon fiber sole mentioned in the name, and that's a mandatory component of any road cycling shoe at this price. It's perfectly shaped – for my fairly average size 43s anyway – with spot-on support from toe to heel.
Just as a saddle's comfort depends crucially on the shape of the base, so it it with shoes and soles, and Gaerne have got it dialled here.
Speaking of dials, a shiny microfibre upper wraps round the top of your foot and is closed by a pair of BOA ratchets, an adjustment system to which I've become totally and sadly addicted.
Dialling in
It's a dirty secret of the bike shoe world that if you want really precise adjustment of the pressure across the top of your foot, then you use laces to fasten your shoes. Problems is, laces are hard to adjust on the fly and likely to get caught in your chainrings.
With six flexible steel wires spreading the load across your foot, and a padded and reinforced tongue, the dual BOA closure on the Gaerne G.Chrono Road shoes really cossets your feet, even if you reef the dials up really tight. It provides very fine adjustment of the pressure on the top of your feet. Loosening them off is a trivial matter of popping them out; you're free in a second, or held less tightly because your feet have gotten warm and swollen a bit.
Narrow fit?
The Gaerne Carbon G.Chrono Road shoes are handmade in Italy, which can indicate a very narrow fit. In fact they're a shade wider than many Italian shoes, but you wouldn't call them broad. Hobbits should look elsewhere.
Copious ventilation also helps with comfort. There are vents in the sole and plenty of mesh in the upper that's making it very hard to resist a bad gag about letting the flavour flood out. Don't expect to wear them much past September unless you have penguins' feet.
The other details are as high-quality as you'd expect for the price. A rigid heel cup keeps your foot in place at the back of the shoe, and a replaceable rubber block on the heel reduces slipperiness on the way to the cafe counter.
If there's a feature missing, it's that there's no customisation on offer. Shoes in this price bracket from manufacturers like Shimano, Lake, fi'zi:k and Bont are mouldable in some way to fine tune the fit. If Gaerne Carbon G.Chrono Road shoes don't fit you quite right, your only option is moulded insoles at extra cost.
Available in black or black/white in sizes 39 to 48 and in white with blue, white with red and white/red in sizes 41 to 46.
Stiff, light and comfortable shoes, but for the price it would be nice to be able to mould them.
road.cc test report
Make and model: Gaerne Carbon G.Chrono Road shoes
Size tested: Size 43
Tell us what the product is for, and who it's aimed at. What do the manufacturers say about it? How does that compare to your own feelings about it?
Gaerne says:
ALL NEW for 2013: Lighter and more vented.
GLOVE-LIKE FIT - Boa provides custom comfort with smooth, even closure and no pressure points.
LIGHTWEIGHT - A Boa Closure System weighs substantially less than other cycling shoe closures and approximately one-fifth of other high-end ratchet-closure systems.
MICRO-ADJUSTABILITY - The high-precision Boa reel allows the cyclist to achieve the perfect shoe tension.
ON-THE-FLY - Simply reach down and dial in the perfect fit with a few clicks of the Boa dial.
SECURE - The Boa laces translate to superior power transfer through the entire pedal stroke.
BREATHABILITY - Free of cumbersome straps and Velcro, cyclists enjoy greater air circulation across the top of the foot.
Handmade in Italy
Available in sizes 39 to 48
Tell us some more about the technical aspects of the product?
The materials and features - carbon fiber sole, microfiber upper and BOA closure - are state of the art.
I touch down with my left foot at lights, and the anti-slip pad under the toe is starting to wear. Be nice if it were replaceable like the heel block.
Three hundred quid is a lot for a pair of cycling shoes, but these feel like they're going to last for years and they're superbly comfortable.
Tell us how the product performed overall when used for its designed purpose
They're comfortable, supportive and stiff; absolutely no in-use complaints.

I am trying to combine 5 separate tables using Access into a workable customer account list. I need to determine what overlaps of customers there are in the different spreadsheets. Eventually, I will have to combine all 5 of them into a workable Access database.
My first step is to compare the tables and find the duplications of customers. I used the Append Query on two tables from the same source. Instead of getting 650 records, I got over 12,000. How do I handle the duplications and why did my Append Query go wrong?

Patent Leather: It's Not Just For Shoes!

Check out how the pros are working patent into their wardrobes and shop key pieces of your own.

Nothing says style chutzpah like a fire engine red patent leather pencil skirt. For dinner at exclusive London eatery, San Carlo, Rihanna wore this Mui Miu version with a full-length denim coat (also by Miu Miu), a gray tee, and black suede Christian Louboutin pumps. The mix of materials at play here is genius while the pop star's matching crimson lip helps the look come off as cohesive.
- 3 of 30
Frida Gustavsson
Not ready to dive head first into this slick-thinking trend? Test the waters with black patent loafers (i.e. the shoe equivalent of the classic LBD.) We like the pair that model Frida Gustavsson, wore to the Rodebjer S/S 14 presentation last month, which added pizzazz to her otherwise subdued ensemble of dark denim and a Rodebjer Volans Silver Rain blazer ($510).
- 4 of 30
Leigh Lezark
At the Versace S/S 14 show in Milan last month, the Misshapes DJ proved tight black patent leather and Catwoman comparisons needn't be mutually exclusive. The key to her chic yet curve-hugging look is simplicity. The dress has plenty to say so she wisely kept the accessories (also by Versace) low-key. Also, a modest hemline is must with this sort of outfit lest you want to look like a naughty cop on Halloween.
- 5 of 30
Tavi Gevinson
Take a page from Gevinson's style playbook and spike a monochrome ensemble with the high gloss sheen of a patent leather piece. At the Guess Portrait Studio during the Toronto Film Festival last month, the Rookie Editor-in-Chief and budding starlet shone in a flouncy skirt by Stolen Girlfriends Club and Alpha 60 Austine Cropped Shirt ($103) which she paired with a Mandy Coon Pontus Bunny Bag ($1794) and Slow and Steady Wins the Race shoes.
- 6 of 30
Miley Cyrus
We strongly prescribe tempering this trend with more understated pieces, but those who want to go all out in the drama department should take note of Miley Cyrus's ensemble at the Myspace launch event at the El Rey Theatre in Los Angeles. What would usually be the statement element (a patent KTZ bomber) is in danger of being upstaged by Cyrus's equally attention-grabbing T by Alexander Wang bralette, Ashish trousers, and punk-y coif. Note: This look is not for the faint of fashion sense.
- 7 of 30
Miroslava Duma
Last but certainly not least, we come to outwear. You can't really go wrong with a patent black trench like the Salvatore Ferragamo version that street style darling Miroslava Duma wore to the Italian design house's S/S 14 show in Milan. The coat gets bonus points in our book for doubling as a rain jacket.
- 8 of 30
Topshop Unique
For F/W 13, the fast fashion giant riffed on the trend with charcoal overcoats embellished with patent patches.
- 9 of 30
Salvatore Ferragamo
Color us excited for a patent leather bag that isn't black. This cutie from the Italian label's F/W 13 line had us at ciao.
- 10 of 30
Given its sleek sex appeal, we can't say we're surprised Donatella Versace jumped on the patent craze. We're especially loving these F/W 13 skinny trousers paired up with fall's other big trend: plaid.
- 11 of 30
Joseph Altuzarra dipped a toe in the trend with mod white ankle booties that bear a whiff of Carnaby Street, circa 1966.

OGDENSBURG Success of a wildlife caller depends on producing a convincing enough reproduction of an animals calls to attract game.
But its not just a matter of blowing a whistle, said Jordan L. LaMay, operator of J&R Game Calls, 240 Cross Road.
Basically, you use your calls to help draw attention to where you are, but you have to remain hidden and mimic the sound exactly, Mr. LaMay said.
J&R Game Calls has partnered with Wingtips Down Outdoors, Adams, to form a group that will be featured on a waterfowl hunting television show, Hitmen Waterfowl, on Wild TV in Canada.
The show will focus on the different types of call makers produced by Wingtips Down Outdoors and conservation efforts from habitat building and nesting boxes to youth programs.
Joseph E. Wafilewski, owner of Wingtips Down Outdoors, will lead the team.
Mr. Wafilewski, 30, has been hunting duck, turkey and waterfowl for most of his life and is proficient in call hunting along with his sidekick, Plug, a bird dog.
Ive been using callers for about 10 years now, he said. I hunt everywhere, sometimes in the South and all over the state.
He said the show is a great way to demonstrate how effective and fun using game callers can be.
Were basically sharing a love of what we do, Mr. Wafilewski said. Well also educate people on the different aspects of waterfowl hunting and the different kinds of calls you can use.
Most of the calls Mr. Wafilewski uses are made with a wood lathe, he said. There are also acrylic and poly-carbonate callers.
Each one produces a different sound, but they are all very effective, he said.
The show will feature the St. Lawrence River and Lake Ontario shores and will air in July.
The group hopes to bring the show to the Pursuit Channel network in the United States in 2014.

An Orange County man accused of murder has agreed to a plea deal in exchange for lesser charges and testifying in another man's murder trial.
Nesley Ciceron was facing first-degree murder charges and life in prison until a court hearing on Wednesday in the death of Alex Zaldivar. Ciceron agreed to plead guilty in exchange for a maximum of 15 years in prison.
In exchange for the lesser charges, Ciceron is expected to testify against Bessman Okafor, who is accused of shooting and killing Zaldivar in Ocoee, and Okafor's girlfriend.
Deputies say Ciceron was with Okafor last year when Okafor shot Zaldivar execution-style. Investigators believe Okafor shot Zaldivar and two other people because Zaldivar was going to testify against Okafor about a previous crime.
At Wednesday's hearing Ciceron apologized to several members of Zaldivar's family in court.
"I know nothing I say will bring him back but I wanted to testify truthfully to bring you and your family closure," said Ciceron.
Interviewed after the hearing, Zaldivar's father, Rafael, said that while he doesn't entirely believe Ciceron's apology.
"I'm kinda at a loss for words right now because I am in pain," he said.
Rafael Zaldviar said he does agree with the state's decision to accept the plea deal.
"I think it's something I agreed to as well and I think it's a good move," he said.
Ciceron will not be sentenced until after the Okafor's trial. No date for that trial has been set.

In paragraph (1), the term "Executive agency" is substituted for the reference to "executive departments, the independent establishments and agencies in the executive branch, including corporations wholly owned by the United States" and "the General Accounting Office". The exception of "a Government controlled corporation" is added in subparagraph (vii) to preserve the application of this chapter to "corporations wholly owned by the United States". The exceptions for Production credit corporations and Federal intermediate credit banks in former section 2001(b)(5), (6) are omitted as they are no longer "corporations wholly owned by the United States". Under the Farm Credit Act of 1956, 70 Stat. 659, the production credit corporations were merged in the Federal intermediate credit banks, and pursuant to that Act the Federal intermediate credit banks have ceased to be corporations owned by the United States. The exceptions for Federal land banks and banks for cooperatives in former section 2001(b)(7), (8) are omitted as included within the exception of "a Government controlled corporation" in subparagraph (vii).
Paragraph (2) is supplied because the definition of "employee" in section 2105 does not encompass individuals employed by the government of the District of Columbia. The definition in paragraph (2) does not encompass members of the uniformed services as they are not "employed" in or under an agency.
Paragraph (2)(E) is based on the third and fifth sentences, respectively, of former sections 1010 and 1011, which are carried into sections 5362 and 559, respectively, and section 1106(a) of the Act of Oct. 28, 1949, ch. 782, 63 Stat. 972.

Carnitine is a non-essential amino acid. Carnitine is acetylated into Acetyl-L-Carnitine (ALCAR) in the brain, liver, and kidneys.
The amino acid L-Carnitine plays a vital role in energy metabolism, specifically the transport of fatty acids into mitochondria where they can be oxidized. ALCAR is the most popular form of supplemental carnitine. ALCAR has a nutrient repartitioning affect, meaning it aids in sending nutrients to skeletal muscle where they can be used for energy over sending nutrients to fat cells where they can be stored. What this means is ALCAR has the ability to aid in muscle growth and fat loss by increasing fat oxidation and cellular metabolism. A study done on women found that supplementing with ALCAR increased fat loss and fat oxidation during exercise. ALCAR increases exercise performance by increasing fat oxidation, decreasing muscle soreness and lactic acid accumulation. ALCAR is a potent antioxidant shown to have anti-aging, cardio-protective, cognitive enhancing, and adaptogen properties.*
Primaforce suggests this Fat Loss Stack: Yohimbine HCL, Green Coffee Bean, Caffeine, ALCAR, Lean Green and Max CLA.

An infectious disease, Polio is caused by a virus that lives in the throat and intestinal tract. Before the vaccine was introduced in 1955, Polio was very common and caused severe illness in thousands of people each year in the U.S. A majority of people who are infected with this virus have no symptoms however less then 1% develop paralysis that could result in a permanent disability.
There are two different types of vaccine that helps protect you against polio: Inactivated Polio Vaccine (IPV) and Oral Polio Vaccine (OPV). Most people should get polio vaccine when they are children. Children get 4 doses of IPV, at these ages: 2 months, 4 months, 6-18 months, and booster dose at 4-6 years. OPV has not been used in the United States since 2000 but is still used in many parts of the world.
The Columbia/Boone County Department of Public Health and Human Services has the polio vaccine available . To be vaccinated, visit us.

Was Bosworth second best?
Amanda Seyfried covers the new issue of ELLE. She's currently promoting Red Riding Hood. The premiere was last night. As you know, given that she's dating that dickhead Ryan Phillippe, this is not the brightest girl. She has demonstrated as much in previous interviews. Full Story
Saturday Night Soho House/Grey Goose
It's where everyone ended up on Saturday night. Especially the Brits. Oh and Zach Galifianakis. And that new Spiderman kid Andrew Garfield. He's wonderful in Never Let Me Go but Laura, in real life, who is partial to Brits, wasn't feeling his hair. His hair isn't great. Having said that, it looked way better last night at the VMAs when he presented with Jesse Eisenberg and some other dude. Full Story
Making up is part of breaking up?
I've had clean cold turkey breakups but more often than not I've had breakup-makeup breakups when it's not quite over until you try it one more time and remember clearly why it should be over. Amanda Seyfried and Dominic Cooper broke up before Cannes. He was seen in London getting flirty with a brunette and then during the festival partying all night with a cranked out fugitive called Lindsay Lohan. Full Story
Single in Cannes
Great timing. After word broke yesterday that Dominic Cooper was up to no good with that skint.ass.scag Lindsay Lohan on Tuesday night, Us Weekly has confirmed that he and Amanda Seyfried are on a "break". Full Story

Yesterday they were floating around the excuse that she might not make it due to volcanic ash. Full Story
Still in the picture
Last night at the Tribeca Film Festival premiere of Letters to Juliet, Amanda Seyfried announced that she and Dominic Cooper are still dating.

Dear John everywhere
I haven't watched much tv lately. But whenever I do turn on the tv I am bombarded with Dear John ads. They are trying to sell Channing Tatum as a heartthrob. Fine. We'll judge him on the merits of a heartthrob. He is not my heartthrob. How does Channing Tatum compare to Ryan Gosling? Please. Full Story
Everyone loves Carey
An Education opens wide this Friday October 23rd and when you see it, please do see it, you will fall in love with Carey Mulligan, just like everyone else has. She is a revelation.

Campaign for Carey
Oscar is still over 5 months away but the buzz for Carey Mulligan has been building since Sundance in January. An Education finally premiered in LA last night officially kicking off Carey's campaign. So far, every prediction list and website has cited her as a virtual lock for a nomination with critic after critic gushing about her performance. Full Story
Must be a Mean Girls day
Have already made reference to two Mean Girls today and now a third, Amanda Seyfried, has just popped up.

Full Story
Worst Oscar Red: Amanda Seyfried
You know I love her. And her hair in Mamma Mia was my hair inspiration last night. Amanda Seyfried is definitely a "next". Most of Meryl's girls are: Emily Blunt, Amy Adams, Anne Hathaway, Amanda Seyfriend… only Lindsay Lohan managed to f-ck it up. But Amanda, for her first Oscars, on a night of many red dresses, oh this was not good. Full Story
Grey Goose Twilight, Mamma Mia, and more
It was supposed to be a quiet night last night at the Grey Goose party – the first of three this week. Dylan and I were planning on easing into the festivities. Not quiet, no easing. We should have known when we walked in right behind Jimmy Kimmel and Sarah Silverman, inseparable all night. Sarah in person? GORGEOUS. Full Story
Amanda > Lilo and Shelfy
Five years ago Mean Girls was all about Lindsay Lohan. It's now 2009 and Lindsay Lohan is too busy looking for a bump while Amanda Seyfried's career is totally taking off. Lilo was once attached to the film adaptation of Oscar Wilde's A Woman Of No Importance. Then she f-cked up and the role was said to have been snatched up by Shelf Ass Jessica Biel. Full Story

In many ways, although this is slowly changing, and the Internet and Web have many analogous parallels to the ideal of a frontier. The Wild Wild Web (west) of the Internet (Behan, 1995) is slowly fading as new laws and methods of enforcement are brought to bear.
In this frontier world of the Internet, the mythology of the antihero has played a large part in the cultural development surrounding the Internet. In this analogous context, people such as Simon Vallor play the role of the western hero. Like Butch and Sundance in the US, or the Kelly's in Australia, the role of the outlaw takes a particularly strong psychological enticement to those who feel disenfranchised (Zur, 1991).
Through the creation of computer code to wreak digital havoc, the antihero makes his/her stand against society by thrusting themselves into the limelight. Like the outlaws of old, their reputation requires that they are caught. By making an example of them in the public press and providing for a mythological level of intrigue and technological magic to detail the simple acts they create, the common press promulgates this analogy (Bowser, 2004).
To burst this bubble, we need to demystify the antihero. We need to show them what they are. People like Kevin Mitnick for instance have grown in infamy through their exploits (Littman, 1997). However, all they have done is break the law. Mr Mitnick was a simple confidence trickster with skill in the ability to deceive. Why do we reward this?
Destruction is easy; creation is difficult and requires skill. By allowing the hacker antihero mythos to survive we allow this disenfranchisement of our rights and society's rules to occur.

You write a huge assumption into your post, that the hacker antihero is destructive. When you were in grade school hackers were writing the best information available about security. Hackers have created huge volumes of code and security knowledge. This is not to say that there are not destructive hackers or that the destructive hackers are the majority. Today most 'hackers' are not the antiheroes of yore, they are criminals and script kiddies. But to claim the mantle of creation and reject hackers contributions as wholly destructive is simply wrong.
And as for having to get caught for their exploits to become famous, that depends on what you consider famous. Plenty of hackers are famous without getting caught.
Nice list of references. Try revisiting the NIST site, the 800 series has some excellent new documents with a general IT security scope (115, 123, 30, 39, 92, 100, etc.) Also instructive are the Syngress books "Stealing The ..." which provide a hacker-eye view of the highly creative process of compromising system security.

Actually Dan, it is you who are making the asumptions.
First, thanks for thinking I am younger than I am. My first email account was in 1979, so we are talking the 80's for the timeframe of what you relate to based on the assertions.
Actually, I have also revisited the NIST site as well. I do it weekly, but the existance of a document does not make it a refernce or I could also add CIS and DISA ones.
You are also using the past assertion of a "hacker" mythos as a benevolent coder. This terminology has not been valid for decades. In the 90's there may have been a cracker / hacker divide, but perceptions are based on a common phrasiology and taxonomy not that of a few diehards.
When I was in grade school hackers where doing little to improve security other than ... well sorry I can not see it. We are talking 80's and pre web here.
You make an assertion of creativity. Please provide some evidence if any is available. You state that to "reject hackers contributions as wholly destructive is simply wrong". Please provide evidence to this assertion.
Or rather are we talking again the cult of the anti and people who want to think that they are bad...

I was not being facetious when I said it was a nice list of references, it is a good list. The reason to revisit the NIST web site is the large amount of new guidance released recently. The SP 800-123 Guidance on General Server Security is well worth a read. The SP 800-100 Information Security Handbook: A Guide for Managers is a good way to get managers (and especially Federal managers) up to speed. And speaking to your previous post about the SDLC, the draft of SP 800-64 Revision 2, Security Considerations in the SDLC was released in March.
If you want to reference happenings in the 80's look no further than textfiles.com and thebbs.org. We can talk about hackers doing good in that time frame if you like. For example, there was the guy who discovered jackpotting and told the banks about this huge security hole in there ATM networks. Oddly enough that was hushed up, bankers don't like news of bad security leaking out.
As to the question of 'evidence of this assertion' to creativity the evidence is in the head of the hacker. It's that bit of creativity that looks at a nuance of system implementation and goes, "That's not right" then finds a way to turn it into root access. Evidence of that is available at http://nvd.nist.gov For good examples of the creative process that happens in the hackers head when contemplating a system attack look to the Syngress "Stealing The Network" book series (How To Own A Continent, How To Own The Box, etc.). If ever there were a group of people who took the question "What if" seriously, these are they.
For evidence of the creative process, I'd start by pointing out that almost every major category of security software is derived from hacker tools. Even now many of the most useful software packages in the security field were originally written by hackers or derivative of hacker tools. Examples would be nmap, metasploit, crack, cain & abel, nessus, etc. More evidence in the hackers creativity in the security field can be easily had by walking down the halls of a Black Hat Briefing, DefCon, ShmooCon, H.O.P.E or any beery congregation of security experts.
Let's talk about hackers who have done things in other creative arenas of creativity. Do you remember Operation Sun Devil where the Secret Service took down Steve Jackson Games? Why did they do that? Because the guy who wrote GURPS Cyberpunk, Lord Blankenship, was a hacker and happened to work at SJG. This miscarriage of justice led directly to the creation of the EFF. And there's the Syngress series of books mentioned previously, "Stealing The Network", which is written by hackers.
In one area I can only provide anecdotal evidence is that there is a disproportionately large showing of hackers and ex-hackers in the gaming industry. I think the first I knew of was Lord British's partner in business, Chuckles, coauthor of the Ultima series of games. Of course I say anecdotal because unless they choose to out themselves I'll not be doing it for them.
And let's talk about a guy who arguably straddles the line between the old hacker definition and the new. According to Steven Levy this fellow considered himself the last true hacker. Symbolics accused him of theft of trade secrets for reverse engineering their software, which fits the new definition of hacker. At MIT he decrypted users passwords and sent them the plaintext. He also helped write Emacs, contributed to Lisp, founded the Free Software Foundation and inspired the creation of most of the codebase found on Linux systems. He was, of course, Richard Stallman.
As to whether I use the 'outdated' definition of a benevolent coder or a more narrow definition which is entirely restricted to computer criminals, I use neither in particular, but both in general. Which is to say I use the broad definition encompassing both along with the sense that a hacker is an investigator of their own curiosity who does not always stop investigating because due to questions of legality. Some hackers are black hat, some are grey hat, some are white hat and some even call themselves ethical. As a term 'hacker' is not now, never has been and never will be singularly synonymous with 'computer criminal'. Wiki's disambiguation page on hacker is eloquently unbiased on this point.
Pardon if I go silent, I will be out of town and offline for the weekend.

In that case ("I was not being facetious when I said it was a nice list of references"), thank you and my sincere apologies.
I think the distinction we have in the derivation of hacker. I am more focused.
I also have a view that being once a hacker does not make you always as such, but that we cannot grant a boon for the past poor behavior.
You can be a software coder without having to break the law.
