If I have a class C defined as
class C[A]
is there any way to create a new instance of
A within C? Something like
class C[A] {
def f(): A = new A()
I understand that, if this were possible, you'd probably have to specify the constructor arguments somewhere, and that's fine.
If it's not possible, are there any design patterns for dealing with the sort of situation where you'd like to create a new instance of a type?

Touring the Heart's Own Brooklyn
By MIMI SHERATON
Published: May 8, 1998
It has always seemed both exciting and practical to take a sightseeing bus tour through a strange city, as I have done many times. But a bus tour through my lost youth? Now there's a trip I wouldn't miss for the world, I thought, when New York Apple Tours announced its first foray into my native Brooklyn. Not that the red-and-yellow, double-decker, retired London buses would roll through Midwood, where I grew up, nor around Coney Island and Sheepshead Bay, where I spent summers. But there were more than enough landmarks of my childhood to make me want to hear them described with little jokes and factoids.
So I have now gone around twice, once on a preview press trip and again last Saturday as an unknown passenger. Officially, the Brooklyn tours began on May 1, after many dry runs during April, and the act proved pretty much together. But the management was not above foisting off a novice guide, leading to inadequate commentary and frequent patches of misinformation along with other glitches.
Brooklyn Technical High School, for example, was offhandedly described as the oldest high school in the borough (too bad for Erasmus Hall), having opened in 1950 (too bad for a boyfriend who graduated in 1943). While no description of the landmark Williamsburgh Savings Bank Tower was forthcoming when we first passed it, at that spot we were shown instead where the leader of the World Trade Center bombers had lived in a building since demolished (no plaque). The Twin Towers also gave rise to misinformation, even on the press trip, when the generally sharp guide said that Windows on the World was a revolving restaurant, although it hasn't turned so much as a hair since it opened in 1976.
Besides the unprepared guide, the main flaw in this tour was the lack of attention paid to the hop-on, hop-off promise. No one announced when a stop was coming, though theoretically every point on the map on the company's brochure should be one, and the bus never slowed down. I'd suggest you plan your stops with the map, then make them clear to the guide.
One further caution: These old buses on the city's potholed streets can result in a bumpy ride, and seats are cramped for two. If you sit up top, be careful about reaching up or standing when approaching low-hanging tree branches and traffic lights. I regretted not wearing sunscreen or a scarf to protect my hair from the wind. Those who want truly to know Brooklyn (without being dead) should allow two days, starting early and ending at one of the restaurants mentioned below about 2 P.M., then catching a later bus back.
My double-decker, with 21 passengers, most from other parts of this country as well as from Europe, Israel and Japan, left Battery Park, the starting point for many of the city's tour buses, and headed along a deserted weekend Wall Street, where we first glimpsed the East River, prompting the guide to tell us that Brooklyn lay on the other side. She described it as a ''cultural'' borough in contrast to the Bronx, which was the ''boondocks.'' So much for the zoo, the Botanical Garden, Fordham University and, still, Yankee Stadium.
If she gave the Bronx short shrift, so did she Brooklyn's cultural credentials, mentioning only a writer or two and the most obvious film, ''A Tree Grows in Brooklyn,'' from the Betty Smith novel. Nothing she said explained the pervasiveness of the Brooklyn legend that makes it unnecessary anywhere to say that it's in New York State. It's simply Brooklyn, U.S.A.
Too bad the guide did not take more from the excellent script for the tour. It places heavy emphasis on show-biz personalities but also mentions many writers who lived and worked in Brooklyn, including Walt Whitman, Irwin Shaw, William Styron, Marianne Moore and Henry Miller (although not Arthur Miller or Norman Mailer). Among the films that made Brooklyn real to the outside world were ''The Kid From Brooklyn,'' ''The Chosen,'' ''Sophie's Choice,'' ''Saturday Night Fever'' and several by Spike Lee, along with Jackie Gleason's ''Honeymooners'' on television.
We picked up two passengers near South Street Seaport, duly noted in commentary, and bypassed the Brooklyn Bridge in favor of the Manhattan Bridge.
Buses do not go over the Brooklyn Bridge because they are too tall to pass under its walkway. We were told, correctly, that the bridge, designed by John Roebling, was completed in 1893, and that the Manhattan Bridge opened in 1909. What the guide couldn't know was that those bridges were an enduring bone of contention in my family, because my father liked to drive across the Brooklyn Bridge, with its stone Gothic arches, and my mother thought he was foolish not to take the newer Manhattan Bridge. ''It may be old, but I like it,'' he would insist, as I did when I walked across with friends to catch breezes on hot summer nights.
Downtown Brooklyn
Our first stop in Brooklyn was the new New York Marriott Brooklyn Hotel, due to be finished in late May or early June. It will be the high point of a ride through the rather bland, downtown Brooklyn civic center (courts, prisons, Borough Hall), past Pratt Institute and New York Technical College and on to the thriving commercial mall that is Metrotech. The Marriott is the first hotel built in Brooklyn in almost 100 years, the last having been the once-elegant St. George Hotel, scene of many proms I attended, where there was a swimming pool in the lobby. Now dilapidated, the hotel has become student living quarters.

2 celebs are booted from 'Dancing with the Stars'
Published: Wednesday, May 9, 2012 at 9:06 a.m.
Last Modified: Wednesday, May 9, 2012 at 9:06 a.m.
NEW YORK — It was two dancers down in a double elimination on "Dancing With the Stars."
Disney Channel star Roshon Fegan and actress Melissa Gilbert were bounced Tuesday as the hit ABC dance-off wrapped up its eighth week of competition.
Gilbert was hearing her fate the day she turned 48 years old. But she insisted that getting this far in the contest made it an incredible birthday.
Fegan and Gilbert join previously ousted contestants Jaleel White, Gavin DeGraw, Gladys Knight, Sherri Shepherd, Jack Wagner and Martina Navratilova.
Singer Katherine Jenkins had begun the night in jeopardy after Monday's trio dance, but was spared. She'll be back next week for the semi-finals to compete with actor William Levy, TV personality Maria Menounos and football star Donald Driver.

long nosed elephant fish
i was wondering if these fish would hurt other fish because they produce electrical impules to navigate through dark water but i also read that they are community fish does anyone no more about these fish?
I don't know much about them but I don't think the electrical impulses would harm the other fish, not 100% sure though.
I do know however that they are very sensitive to a lot of ingredients in medications, so be evry careful to read everything carefully before using it. I have seen ones that say specifically not to be used with this fish but others you'd have to check out the ingredients.
If you have other fish that use electrical impulses as well they can freak each other out. (some knifes, mormids)
I had one for a while but got rid of it because they require special feedings of small worms.
Hey Gump, I didn't know that you got rid of your elephant nose. I didn't have any feeding trouble with Ralph (R.I.P.) but he was a little aggressive with other fish when he was feeding, he would shove them out of the way, and being that he was much larger, well....let's just say, one of the small corycats only has one eye :(
For anyone considering an African Elephant Nose, please be very aware that they tend to be suicidal and can escape from the smallest of openings (top of the tank). I was horrifed to find Ralph dried up on the floor behind the aquarium. He had escaped from an opening that I never would have imagined he could have fit through.

Emirates Airline leaves customers angry with no apology
August 27, 2013 4:10 by kippreport
Does an airline such as Emirates, particularly one that markets itself as the best and prices its tickets accordingly, feel that it is above an apologetic statement or promise of any form of compensation?
On Saturday afternoon, swarms of angry, tired and frustrated customers surrounded Emirates Airline's customer service desk in Beirut-Rafic Hariri International Airport.
Passengers on the 11:50am Dubai-bound flight were forced to wait several hours before having to disembark due to a technical fault. The aircraft was forced to return to the gate three times over a period of more than three hours, after consecutive attempts to head to the runway, which ended with all passengers being told to leave the plane.
Back at the terminal with very little communication, frustrated passengers suffered a 14-hour delay before they were eventually able to board the early morning flight to Dubai at 1:30am.
A passenger, who wants to remain anonymous, tells Kipp: "There were only a couple of staff members from the airline and it was obvious they didn't know what to tell us. There wasn't enough food, everyone was getting angry and there were many women with children and a few pregnant women too."
So far, Emirates has offered a brief statement defending its decision to further delay the flight, but Kipp is yet to receive a statement of apology or promise of compensation to the affected passengers. When contacted, an Emirates spokesperson said: "Emirates flight EK958 Beirut to Dubai on Saturday August 24 was delayed for 14 hours due to a technical issue. The safety of our staff and crew is of utmost importance and will not be compromised."
Eyewitness accounts described the scene in the terminal as "completely chaotic" while dubbing the airline staff – of which only two were present – as "rude", "extremely unorganised" and "unhelpful".
What standard of service would you expect from a four-star airline that has repeatedly appeared in lists featuring the world's top carriers and was voted by Skytrax as the best airline in the world in 2013? With a website brimming with promises of comfort – "attention to your every detail" and "anticipation of your every need" – customers would, at the very least, expect to receive their money's worth.
Punctuality, proper communication and planning, quick service of food, polite staff and an adequate back-up plan (if things go wrong), would be some of the expectations that spring to mind. And yet, according those that were present during the 14-hour debacle, the Dubai-based carrier apparently failed to deliver on any of the above.
All airlines suffer technical difficulties, what's important is how they respond to these unpleasant situations and their customers' complaints. This isn't the first customer service disaster for Emirates as, in September 2011, the airline was fined US$100,000 by the US government for failing to compensate passengers sufficiently for lost, damaged and delayed baggage.
Do you feel that Emirates have a history of disappointing its customers when it comes to admitting fault and offering compensation? We'll let you decide.

Did they mention to you that we were promised food but never received any? After three hours, they ordered 100 sandwiches for 400+ passengers. Those like me who couldn't push their way through came back empty handed. We had to wait for another hour to go buy our own sandwiches from Cafematik, because no stock was left. Kids were starving. Babies were cranky. Strollers, once taken away while boarding the plane, were not given back to the parents. Dads and moms held their crying babies in their own arms for hours! No priority whatsoever was given to families with babies or to pregnant women until we (who do not have small babies) lobbied for them!
Emirates airline has grown to become an arrogant company.
It is a pity as it used to be such fantastic company.
Prices om Emirates airline are 20% to 40% more on average which used to be worth it. More and more people are complaining about poor service and arrogance.
Airline technical problems do happen and when airlines delay flights due to technicalities it is always for the sake of safety and responsibility. How many times did crash investigations reveal that a certain technical problem was well know off before a take off?
We need to understand that Airlines operate within extremely strict rules, ones that cannot be malleable hence, no one wants the captain to snore in his cockpit.
For the record and for accuracy, Emirates airlines did offer food, though the food was scarce and was ripped off by an angry crowd, a la scavenger style, bu EK also apologized and offered clients 30 k miles as a compensation.
We were not on the same flight. I received no apologies and no miles. I assume Haytham works for emirates or was on a different flight.
Typical of the current Emirates service.
Fly Etihad is the only way to teach this arrogant company that the customers that helped build its reputation can also choose a different airline.
I was on the same flight. it was nightmare completely disorganized. it is a shame that a company like Emirates Airline would handle that way such situation.
it is not about the technical problem, it happens everywhere, it is how you treat the customers.
You are right Haytham they served 100 sandwich for a flight with 400 passengers and many mothers with kids. Guess who got the sandwiches? not the mother and kids.
So yes they could have made a line and give priority to mother and kids, the did not. I clearly remember one of the mother complaining to a certain Joseph that she can not reach the sandwiches. he did nothing. That is the problem. Same for the exit, mother with kids from around 9 oclock at the airport and at 18h00 having to queue to exit the airport in a chaotic queue vs organizing that a priority been given.
this is only a fraction of the mess. I travel often and have been confronted often to delays and technical the only two times i have seen such a mess was in Africa on at the time Air Afrique.
So yes this is very bad for emirates airline.
And to be clear i did not either receive any formal apology nor miles no anything.
What happened that day on Emirates airlines flight is not acceptable by any means. When we chose to travel on the best airlines in the region we expect to be treated in a descent way (human) even if delay occurred. One of Emirate staff at the airport was shouting at the people.
I took the second flight 1:30 but also it was delayed by 1h. The same incident happened with my husband last year on Etihad airlines; they offered all passengers' food vouchers and 700AED ticket voucher.

First personal thing in ages...just a rough - maybe I'll render her up. She belongs in the same world as the Steamwitch
Super Cool! that thong strap reminds me of my teen crush on Witchblade and all things Michael Turner.
sup Chris, nice to see some new personal work from you!
I like it. Looks like a character from a fighting game.
Very cool style to her. Hope we get to see her rendered up soon. Thanks for sharing friend.
Low riding pants are the bomb!!!
Really awesome
I love her fuller proportions, many scifi and fantasy artists underestimate the allure and prescence the chubbier characters can bring and you nailed it
Thanks - although, I actually thought she was kind of lean - minus the huge pants, of course. Maybe my idea of lean is skewed. Either way - I'm glad you like it!
Fantastic work man love the detail on this!
This is awesome dude
nice, looks great
Great work here.

Greater diversity unlikely in post-Borton Gopher women's basketball
Thus far, Gopher AD Norwood Teague is two-for-two in firing coaches in consecutive years. He fired Pam Borton as the school's women's basketball coach, seemingly less than 24 hours after her last game last week. She got the ziggy in less time than Tubby Smith got axed around this same time nearly a year ago. Borton was my fifth coach I covered as the longest tenured Gopher women hoops beat writer, She had her faults — no coach is perfect, and for whatever reason, she couldn't convince too many local Black females to play for her.

Inclusive candidates for Borton's replacement
The news wasn't even an hour old before a local daily newspaper posted on their website a list of possible candidates to succeed Pam Borton as Minnesota women's basketball coach. Not one, however, of the eight current head coaches and six assistant coaches suggested for the position was of color. The Gophers probably hadn't gotten back in town after last Thursday's loss at South Dakota State before Minnesota AD Norwood Teague simply inserted the final date on Borton's "Dear Jane" dismissal letter — the same type letter that former coach Tubby Smith received last year. Every time I saw Teague at a Gopher game during the season, he looked like he was just counting days, hours and minutes before he could zap her out. The former coach had been on shaky ground since last season. Continue Reading →

No respect for either of them. While there are those who only see one tournament, and while the men's NCAA annually gets marathon King Kong coverage and barely Timberbell-like coverage on the women's side, this reporter gives four-fold attention to the two bigger tournaments, as well as the NIT and WNIT.

INDIANAPOLIS — The waiting game is now underway. Minnesota (20-12) is .500 (1-1) thus far this post season. The women's basketball team will know this Monday whether or not their proverbial "body of work" has earned them their first NCAA at-large berth since 2009. Nearly everyone who the MSR talked to here in Indianapolis last week thinks they have:
"I think Minnesota deserves to be in the NCAA Tournament," says Nebraska Coach Connie Yori, whose league tourney champion Huskers twice defeated the Gophers this season, including a 13-point win in the Big Ten quarterfinals March 7. "With the strength of our league and their RPI (38), I think they need to be in the NCAA Tournament."
The Gophers are 7-3 in their last 10 games, including a first-round overtime win after being down 16 points in the second half over Wisconsin. Continue Reading →

Keep Pam: Firing Gopher women's basketball coach won't solve team's problems
I've been approached of late by several Gopher women's basketball fans. I listen attentively but with a non-committal demeanor as they complain about the current head coach. And as much as they'd hoped I would agree with them, thus far I have avoided such traps. Let me be perfectly clear — I don't advocate for any coaches losing their jobs. It's so easy for non-coaches, eh, fans to give ziggies from their seats. Continue Reading →

Reflections on a magical year for Gopher women's hoops
Only one time in Gopher women's basketball history has the team been among the final four teams standing after a long season. A reunion of those players at a recent Gopher's game provided an opportunity for some pleasant reminiscing. The MSR is the only Twin Cities weekly to consistently cover the Gopher women for at least four decades, beginning with the late Kwame McDonald in the 1970s; then this reporter joined him in the late 1980s. While other local media have totally ignored the program, we always were there. Then came 2004. Continue Reading →

Spotlight on the Gophers 100
There are approximately 100 African American and other student-athletes of color this school year at the University of Minnesota. In an occasional series throughout the 2013-14 school and sports year, the MSR will highlight these players. This week: Freshman Gopher basketball guard Stabresa McDaniel
Stabresa McDaniel is used to getting "the most attention" as one of six siblings in her family. "I actually like being the youngest," she admits. "My older siblings say I'm spoiled — I get away with a lot of things."
Leaving both the Lone Star State and her family hasn't been as hard as one might expect for the youngest McDaniel. Continue Reading →

Concussion issue raises safety concerns among many contact sports
Is there a connection between playing such sports as football and brain diseases that down the road can produce fatal effects? Medical research indicates that such a connection exists, and athletes and coaches are doing their best to come to terms with the implications. Earlier this fall, Frontline's League of Denial documentary on PBS in October showed a prominent Black doctor being "blackballed" after he performed an autopsy on a deceased former NFL player's brain and blamed football for the player's untimely death at age 50. The two-hour documentary also suggested that the league may have known that playing football could cause permanent brain damage but kept quiet about it. "The brain is the last frontier in medicine," says Jack Brewer, whose Brewer Sports International group last June held a brain injuries seminar in the Twin Cities. Continue Reading →

Upcoming TV show to address media neglect of women's sports
Almost half of all athletes are women, but not even five percent are shown in this country's media. This is expected to be discussed in the upcoming U of M Tucker Center-TPT2 co-produced Media Coverage and Female Athletes on Channel 2 this Sunday, December 1, at 7 pm. Tucker Center Associate Director Nicole LaVoi told the MSR during her group's 20th-year celebration in October that the show features interviews with academic types, coaches, players and the media. Sadly, this longtime women's sports reporter wasn't contacted, but if I had been I would have easily pointed to these examples:
Only two women's games were shown on ESPN's college basketball 24-hour tip-off live telecasts despite the availability of three of their eight channels for use during that time. Fox Sports North shows every Timberwolves game live and replays them at least twice afterwards but annually only shows six Minnesota Lynx games — with no repeats. Continue Reading →

E-Reader Firm Kobo Buys Digital Publisher Aquafadas
E-book maker Kobo has bought the French company Aquafadas, which specializes in software that enables digital publishing across smartphones, tablets and other devices. Terms of the deal, which was announced Wednesday at the Frankfurt Book Fair in Germany, were not revealed.
Paid Content's Laura Hazard Owen explains the importance of the announcement to the Canada-headquartered, Japanese owned company with the name that is an anagram of "book."
The acquisition will help Kobo, which just announced a new tablet called the Arc, compete against Amazon, Barnes & Noble and Apple, all of which sell their own enhanced content. (The new self-publishing tools could also be Kobo's answer to Apple's iBooks Author.)
"This radically improves our ability to bring illustrated content like magazines, graphic novels, manga and children's books into a compelling reading experience," Michael Tamblyn, Kobo's EVP content and merchandising, told me. "We see a lot of companies trying to do quick and dirty digital magazines that lose the potential richness of that experience. We wanted to find something that made the format as compelling in digital as it already is in print."
Aquafadas could also help Kobo quickly convert foreign publishers' illustrated books into ebooks. Aquafadas already works with international publishers like Egmont International, Lagardere and Mondadori.

The Fare: Traditional food, with a spin.
The Stop : Reis Llaneza is>"/>
The Truck: The Box, locations found on Facebook and Twitter.
The Fare: Traditional food, with a spin.
The Stop: Reis Llaneza is all about nontraditional traditional food. That's the theme Llaneza, born and raised in Hawaii, stuck with when he opened The Box last September, after going to culinary school and spending 14 years in the kitchens of restaurants like Flo and Yarrow Bay.
Like many other food truckers, Llaneza had his heart set -- and still does -- on opening a restaurant. He was "doing a lot of fine dining," he said, when his wife urged him to start something of his own. A food truck seemed to fit the bill. So Llaneza studied up on business, bought a used truck from the government that he gutted and fixed, and pulled together a menu that he hoped would be playful.
Sure, from talking to Llaneza, it seems like he might have preferred to open something a little fancier than a truck. And that's most likely what he plans on doing later on. But for now, his love for his box on wheels is obvious from the food he serves.
Hom bao, chicken karage. These are two of The Box's most popular dishes that constantly sell out, according to Llaneza. They're two distinctly Asian dishes -- Chinese and Japanese, to be specific -- that represent the "Asian flair" Llaneza taps into when creating his recipes.
To do this, he draws from his experiences at Japanese restaurants, his wife's Chinese background, and his own Hawaiian roots.
Take the hom bao ($2.50 each), for example. In its traditional form, the hom bao is a lovely, steamed barbecue pork bun, known for its pristinely white bun that's filled with a meat filling. I know the traditional hom bao well: When I was little, I helped my dad -- who used to own a Chinese restaurant back home in Connecticut -- make these steamed buns. He was a master of making the dough and filling in record time. I was a master of discreetly stealing freshly-cooked buns from the steamer when my dad wasn't looking, only to burn the roof of my mouth as I wolfed them down.
Llaneza puts a twist on traditional Chinese steamed buns, with his open-faced Kahlua pork and barbecued pork hom baos.
Llaneza's take on hom baos are no less lovely than traditional form, but are very different: his are open-faced, with braised pork belly that's flavored with hints of soy sauce, mirin, sake, and sugar, all topped with onion, celery, carrots, and shredded napa cabbage. He also offers an open-faced Kahlua pork hom bao.
He referred to his baos as "Chinese tacos," and is conscious of the fact that they're not exactly traditional.
"I asked my wife's parents if it was alright if I called these 'baos,'" Llaneza recalled.
They're not really like hom baos, his in-laws told him, but they're still good. In fact, Llaneza's hom baos are reminiscent of Peking duck pancakes, which are essentially fluffy pancakes that are topped with roasted duck, scallions, and hoisin sauce.
Whatever they resemble, whatever they're called, one thing is clear: Llaneza's hom baos are wonderful, nostalgia-inducing staples of his menu. No wonder they constantly sell out.
Llaneza turns the traditional chicken karaage ($8) inside out when adding his own flair. Literally.
For traditional karaage, bite-sized pieces of chicken are usually marinated with soy sauce, ginger, and garlic, drenched with a potato starch, and then deep fried. To keep the chicken crispy, Llaneza said he fries the chicken first then tosses it in the sauce. His inside-out karaage, so to speak, is solid.
Llaneza makes it clear that despite his island roots, he doesn't want to turn his truck completely Hawaiian. Instead, he wants to keep spinning variations of the traditional dishes he learned to make in culinary school -- to keep things playful. And to keep thinking outside the box. So far, so good.

Adoption vs Keeping the baby
So I am just about 5 months pregnant. And I am only 15 years old. (I know i am young) This pregnancy was tottaly unwanted and unplanned. Me and the father only went out for about 4 weeks then the baby was created and then we broke up less than two weeks afterwards. I need to know if adoption is better than keeping it and raising it. (i don't mean to call the baby "it" i just don't know the gender yet) Abortion is not even an option that is not fair to the baby. I would want to keep it but the thing is I want to be able to go to beauty school and get married and have planned pregnancies with someone i love.. and i am afraid the baby will stop all that from happening. And I mean adoption I would want to choose the family and everything.. but it comes down to if I could even give my baby up to another family without being in a depressed state for a long time.. It's just a hard descion.. I change my mind everyday. I am so confused. For a 15 year old what do you think the best option is?

Yes ! That's why I love the idea of adoption sooo much is because you have all those couples out there that are physically unable to conceive and you are giving them a gift of a life time... And yeah i was born when my parents where 21, not married, no job.. and it was rough growing up... i must admit . And it still is even with a well paying stable job. Adoption is deffintly an option for me it just has a lot of thought process to it !posted 10/08/2012 by a BabyCenter Member
I think adoption is a mature decision to be honest. Yeah you could feel guilt and may regret it at first but if you take a step back and look at the big picture...you would be doing the baby a favor in a way. A couple who are completely unable to conceive can have a baby of their own! :) It would give you a second chance to live your life the way you originally wanted to. Plus i'm sure the father isn't ready to be a father either. I have a friend who had a baby at 15 years old, and she chose adoption. She picked the family and couldn't be happier with her choice. Just try to think of the baby and his/her future, would I ever have enough money? Could I get a place to live AND pay for everything my baby needs? Can I afford all the medical expenses of raising a child? Things like that can be over whelming for sure. I hope you make a decision that you are comfortable with :) Good luckposted 10/08/2012 by angela012606

So our daughter had a carnival thing at school last night that she's been waiting to go to for weeks now. I knew that I might get a little tired walking or standing around that much but goodness... I can barely walk today thanks to my sciatic nerve on my left side. I have not been that tired and out of it in a long time.
This makes me worry for Halloween. We normally go to this big carnival/faire type of thing at a local church and I don't think I can do it. I don't want to miss out on something like this with our daughter though. I don't want to out her in "second place" because I can't walk around that much due to being huge and in pain. I guess I might need to look into some options like a cart or wheelchair but man I don't want to be "that person". It's silly I know but I guess it comes from already being fat and it makes me feel awful. Plus, I remember strollers and wheelchairs out there from previous years and it's so hard to get anywhere because no one moves for you.
I guess I'm just feeling a little defeated. I've always been the independent kind and needing so much help is wearing me down emotionally. Luckily the rest of the fun holiday stuff for the year is indoors or mostly sitting. I'm also mad at my body for not being able to handle all of this better. Again, silly I know but it's so frustrating! Okay I'll stop venting now lol. It does feel better to get it all out though.

The four different options (available for pre-sale now, hitting the streets in March) are stockings-full of PJ goodies packaged as if they're kickbacks for donating to your local PBS station.

You Are Eating Bug Killer
Would anyone ordinarily go to the basement or garage, grab a bottle of pesticide and chug it down? Didn't think so. Most of those folks are under heavy sedation. But every time you go to the kitchen for a snack or eat a meal, you're probably ingesting bug killer. The pesticide I'm describing is found in thousands of products and likely in whatever you might prepare for breakfast, lunch or dinner. And for sure,...

Some People Were Dead For Several DaysRev. George Rodonaia's Unusual NDE
Natia Rodonaia-Peleaez, the daughter of Rev. George Rodonaia, has informed me that George passed away on October 12, 2004 due to heart failure. George suffered a massive heart attack in July and it was thought that he had recovered. The Reverend was on his way to fly to Dallas to tape an interview with Trinity Broadcasting about his NDE when he had a final heart attack and God called him Home. Natia would like to thank everyone who has shown an interest in him and his NDE. He will be deeply missed. George is survived by his wfie Nino, his daughter Natia, his son Greg, his son-in-law Martin, his grandson Levani, and his mother-in-law Nadia.
Rev. George Rodonaia underwent one of the most extended cases of a near-death experience ever recorded. Pronounced dead immediately after he was hit by a car in 1976, he was left for three days in the morgue. He did not "return to life" until a doctor began to make an incision in his abdomen as part of an autopsy procedure. Prior to his NDE he worked as a neuropathologist. He was also an avowed atheist. Yet after the experience, he devoted himself exclusively to the study of spirituality, taking a second doctorate in the psychology of religion. He then became an ordained priest in the Eastern Orthodox Church. He served as a pastor at St. Paul United Methodist Church in Baytown, Texas.
Rev. George Rodonaia held an M.D. and a Ph.D. in neuropathology, and a Ph.D. in the psychology of religion. He delivered a keynote address to the United Nations on the "Emerging Global Spirituality." Before emigrating to the United States from the Soviet Union in 1989, he worked as a research psychiatrist at the University of Moscow. The following is a Dr. Rodonaia's experience in his own words from Phillip Berman's excellent book, The Journey Home.
The first thing I remember about my NDE is that I discovered myself in a realm of total darkness. I had no physical pain, I was still somehow aware of my existence as George, and all about me there was darkness, utter and complete darkness - the greatest darkness ever, darker than any dark, blacker than any black. This was what surrounded me and pressed upon me. I was horrified. I wasn't prepared for this at all. I was shocked to find that I still existed, but I didn't know where I was. The one thought that kept rolling through my mind was, "How can I be when I'm not?" That is what troubled me.
Slowly I got a grip on myself and began to think about what had happened, what was going on. But nothing refreshing or relaxing came to me. Why am I in this darkness? What am I to do? Then I remembered Descartes' famous line: "I think, therefore I am." And that took a huge burden off me, for it was then I knew for certain I was still alive, although obviously in a very different dimension. Then I thought, If I am, why shouldn't I be positive? That is what came to me. I am George and I'm in darkness, but I know I am. I am what I am. I must not be negative.
Then I thought, How can I define what is positive in darkness? Well, positive is light. Then, suddenly, I was in light; bright white, shiny and strong; a very bright light. I was like the flash of a camera, but not flickering - that bright. Constant brightness. At first I found the brilliance of the light painful, I couldn't look directly at it. But little by little I began to relax. I began to feel warm, comforted, and everything suddenly seemed fine.
The next thing that happened was that I saw all these molecules flying around, atoms, protons, neutrons, just flying everywhere. On the one hand, it was totally chaotic, yet what brought me such great joy was that this chaos also had its own symmetry. This symmetry was beautiful and unified and whole, and it flooded me with tremendous joy. I saw the universal form of life and nature laid out before my eyes. It was at this point that any concern I had for my body just slipped away, because it was clear to me that I didn't need it anymore, that it was actually a limitation.
Everything in this experience merged together, so it is difficult for me to put an exact sequence to events. Time as I had known it came to a halt; past, present, and future were somehow fused together for me in the timeless unity of life.
At some point I underwent what has been called the life-review process, for I saw my life from beginning to end all at once. I participated in the real life dramas of my life, almost like a holographic image of my life going on before me - no sense of past, present, or future, just now and the reality of my life. It wasn't as though it started with birth and ran along to my life at the University of Moscow. It all appeared at once. There I was. This was my life. I didn't experience any sense of guilt or remorse for things I'd done. I didn't feel one way or another about my failures, faults, or achievements. All I felt was my life for what it is. And I was content with that. I accepted my life for what it is.
During this time the light just radiated a sense of peace and joy to me. It was very positive. I was so happy to be in the light. And I understood what the light meant. I learned that all the physical rules for human life were nothing when compared to this unitive reality. I also came to see that a black hole is only another part of that infinity which is light.
I came to see that reality is everywhere. That it is not simply the earthly life but the infinite life. Everything is not only connected together, everything is also one. So I felt a wholeness with the light, a sense that all is right with me and the universe.
I could be anywhere instantly, really there. I tried to communicate with the people I saw. Some sensed my presence, but no one did anything about it. I felt it necessary to learn about the Bible and philosophy. You want, you receive. Think and it comes to you. So I participated, I went back and lived in the minds of Jesus and his disciples. I heard their conversations, experienced eating, passing wine, smells, tastes - yet I had no body. I was pure consciousness. If I didn't understand what was happening, an explanation would come. But no teacher spoke. I explored the Roman Empire, Babylon, the times of Noah and Abraham. Any era you can name, I went there.
So there I was, flooded with all these good things and this wonderful experience, when someone begins to cut into my stomach. Can you imagine? What had happened was that I was taken to the morgue. I was pronounced dead and left there for three days. An investigation into the cause of my death was set up, so they sent someone out to do an autopsy on me. As they began to cut into my stomach, I felt as though some great power took hold of my neck and pushed me down. And it was so powerful that I opened my eyes and had this huge sense of pain. My body was cold and I began to shiver. They immediately stopped the autopsy and took me to the hospital, where I remained for the following nine months, most of which I spent under a respirator.
Slowly I regained my health. But I would never be the same again, because all I wanted to do for the rest of my life was study wisdom. This new interest led me to attend the University of Georgia, where I took my second Ph.D., in the psychology of religion. Then I became a priest in the Eastern Orthodox Church. Eventually, in 1989, we came to America, and I am now working as an associate pastor at the First United Methodist Church in Nederland, Texas.
Many people have asked me what I believe in, how my NDE changed my life. All I can say is that I now believe in the God of the universe. Unlike many other people, however, I have never called God the light, because God is beyond our comprehension. God, I believe, is even more than the light, because God is also darkness. God is everything that exists, everything - and that is beyond our ability to comprehend at all. So I don't believe in the God of the Jews, or the Christians, or the Hindus, or in any one religion's idea of what God is or is not. It is all the same God, and that God showed me that the universe in which we live is a beautiful and marvelous mystery that is connected together forever and for always.
Anyone who has had such an experience of God, who has felt such a profound sense of connection with reality, knows that there is only one truly significant work to do in life, and that is love; to love nature, to love people, to love animals, to love creation itself, just because it is. To serve God's creation with a warm and loving hand of generosity and compassion - that is the only meaningful existence.
Many people turn to those who have had NDEs because they sense we have the answers. But I know this is not true, at least not entirely. None of us will fully fathom the great truths of life until we finally unite with eternity at death. But occasionally we get glimpses of the answer here on Earth, and that alone is enough for me. I love to ask questions and to seek answers, but I know in the end I must live the questions and the answers. But that is okay, isn't it? So long as we love, love with all our heart and passion, it doesn't matter, does it? Perhaps the best way for me to convey what I am trying to say is to share with you something the poet Rilke once wrote in a letter to a friend. I saw this letter, the original handwritten letter, in the library at Dresden University in Germany. (He quotes from memory, as follows:)
"Be patient with all that is unresolved in your heart. And try to love the questions themselves. Do not seek for the answers that cannot be given. For you wouldn't be able to live with them. And the point is to live everything, live the questions now, and perhaps without knowing it, you will live along some day into the answers."
George Rodonaia's Account of His Episode With an Infant During His NDE
More information concerning George's NDE account is described in Dr. Melvin Morse and Paul Perry's book entitled Transformed by the Light. Dr. Morse refers to George by his Russian name "Yuri". The following is an excerpt of Transformed by the Light which describes George's observation of an infant while George is out of his body.
"[During Yuri's NDE, he] could go visit his family. He saw his grieving wife and their two sons, both too small to understand that their father had been killed.
"Then he visited his next-door neighbor. They had a new child, born a couple of days before Yuri's "death." Yuri could tell that they were upset by what happened to him. But they were especially distressed by the fact that their child would not stop crying.
"No matter what they did he continued to cry. When he slept it was short and fitful and then he would awaken, crying again. They had taken him back to the doctors but they were stumped. All the usual things such as colic were ruled out and they sent them home hoping the baby would eventually settle down.
"While there in this disembodied state, Yuri discovered something:
"l could talk to the baby. It was amazing. I could not talk to the parents - my friends - but I could talk to the little boy who had just been born. I asked him what was wrong. No words were exchanged, but I asked him maybe through telepathy what was wrong. He told me that his arm hurt. And when he told me that, I was able to see that the bone was twisted and broken."
"Eventually the doctor from Moscow came to perform the autopsy on Yuri. When they moved his body from the cabinet to a gurney, his eyes flickered. The doctor became suspicious and examined his eyes. When they responded to light, he was immediately wheeled to emergency surgery and saved.
"Yuri told his family about being "dead." No one believed him until he began to provide details about what he saw during his travels out of body. Then they became less skeptical. His diagnosis on the baby next door did the trick. He told of visiting them that night and of their concern over their new child. He told them that he had talked to the baby and discovered that he had a greenstick fracture of his arm. The parents took the child to a doctor and he x-rayed the arm only to discover that Yuri's very long-distance diagnosis was right."
P.M.H. Atwater's Tribute to George Rodonaia
I knew George well; he was part of my research base and a brief version of his story is in my book "Beyond the Light." I say "brief" because what happened to George is beyond the scope of books about the near-death phenomenon and could have easily been a book unto itself. George was a vocal Soviet dissident during the time when such a stance could get you killed. And that is exactly what happened - he was assassinated by the KGB. Because his case was highly political, an autopsy had to be performed. His corpse was stored in a freezer vault for three days until then. He revived on the autopsy table as he was being split open by the doctors, one of which was his own uncle. Of all the cases I have investigated in my 26 years of work in the field, his is the most dramatic, the longest, the most evidential, and the most soul-stirring. Now our beloved George Rodonaia has returned "Home" to stay. During the years afterward, he never failed to share his story and to help others every way he could. My only regret is, he never wrote his own book about his experience. Yet, perhaps he did, on everyone's heart who ever heard him. Blessings, dear George, you will be missed. -- PMH
Other People Who Were Dead For DaysThere are two other NDE accounts I should mention here. One of them involves an African man named Emanuel Tuwagirairmana. What is interesting about his account is that it is claimed that he was actually dead for seven days. When he returned to his body, it was partially eaten by maggots. A friend of his sent me photographs of his arm to prove it. It is such a fantastic experience that one must take keep an open mind about it.
In January of 1999, the online edition of the Russian newspaper Pravda reported on a remarkable event involving a man who revived from death after 22 days of being killed and buried. I have not personally verified whether this news article is legitimate but it did appear in Russia's premier newspaper and the best that I can do is provide an excerpt of the article and provide a link to the Pravada article for you to decide. The following was taken from the article entitled, "Man Revives 22 Days After Being Killed and Buried."
A stockman, named only as Granatkin, from a district food base in one of Russia's towns, had to have a similar, albeit a more horrible experience in his life. A man named Mechnik attempted to kill the stockman: he hit him on the head, took the body to the forest and buried it under the snow. Lumber-men incidentally uncovered the frozen body and took it to the morgue. A local pathologist refused to do the autopsy - the body was too hard. The next day the pathologist said that the man's eye pupils did not look like dead. Furthermore, the man's nails turned pink after the doctor pressed them in his fingers. The man spent 22 days lying under a thick layer of snow, but it appeared that he was still alive. The pathologist diagnosed a deep lethargic sleep, which had been caused with a blow on the head. To everyone's great astonishment, stockman Granatkin came to his senses and recovered. He was lucky to wear very warm clothes on the day of his murder; the snow saved him from severe frost too.
Talks and rumors about the lethargic sleep were widespread two centuries ago. A lot of outstanding people, including Russian writer Nikolai Gogol, were afraid of falling asleep for good. Apparently, Gogol fell into a lethargic sleep: he was buried alive, as it turned out afterwards. This disease does not occur in our times, though. The last occurrence happened in 1993, when a patient recovered from profound sleep in a US hospital. Does it mean that people have developed immunity against stressful situations? It is not ruled out that stresses have become more frequent in the modern society and destroyed the time control organ in people. On the other hand, doctors often consider their sleeping patients dead and send them to either a graveyard, or a morgue, where pathologists eventually kill them during an autopsy. A selective inspection of coffins, which had to be moved from one graveyard to another in England, discovered four skeletons, the positioning of which in the coffins showed that the "deceased" people came to their senses after they had been buried.
The above-mentioned incidents describe the anomalous, unhealthy conduct of the time control organ. Modern medicine has registered several incidents, when five-year-old children died of their old age! There are several African tribes, which consider it normal, when a girl of five or eight years of age gives birth to a child and then dies from the old age at 10-18 years.
Needless to say that the existence of the time control organ has not been proved. Scientists, however, believe that the organ is possibly situated in the brain, in the hypothalamus. Some specialists say that this organ is the so-called "third eye," others say that it is situated in the spinal cord. Most likely, it goes about a qualitatively new function of brain cells, which are interconnected with one aura, scientists say.
Our ancient ancestors were probably aware of the phenomenon. At any rate, modern shamans and yogi know how to hamper the time and come out of their bodies for a while.
"The longest journey is the journey inwards of him who has chosen his destiny, who has started upon his quest for the source of his being." - Dag Hammarskjold

How do you know when you're there?
By improving my eating habits, increasing my mileage, and doing some dumbbell work, I lost about 20# in a couple of months. At 6'6", and with a genetically slender build, I'm now hovering around 212#, and the same routine isn't taking off any more weight. I essentially lost the 20# in roughly a month, and have been hovering since then. While I don't have a 'gut', I do feel some fat on top of my ab's if I grab a pinch. I don't know whether working to rid myself of that is trying to go too far, or if I should continue to try and "burn the fat; feed the muscle" to eliminate all vestiges of my formerly corpulent self. I don't mean to piss off those who might struggle with more significant weight issues - just bear in mind I'm someone who was 165# in HS and 185# in college. Your basic beanpole, but I haven't seen a weight that started with a 1 in decades. Having experienced what cycling can do for my health, I decided there is no reason I shouldn't be at my optimum weight.
I want to get into competitive shape. I've already driven my wife to distraction by the relatively extreme nature of my efforts. It didn't go over too well when I actually fainted Saturday night, apparently from orthostatic hypotension (have an appt with my MD this afternoon). Whether it is a result of my training or something else, I've been having frequent light-headedness/dizziness when standing, and one second I was steadying myself on a doorframe, and the next I was waking up on the floor as she asked me "what are you doing?". This happened the evening of a day when I had done a fairly intense 44 mile morning club ride. Still got dropped despite my efforts - I backed off when I was kicking into zone 5.
So anyway, short of getting a precise BMI, what's a reasonable way of determining whether to:
A. keep working on fat reduction, or to
B. declare victory and try and find the right caloric input to stay where I am?

I know an more official way to give IE5 a special treatment in HTML, example:

But I don't know if something like this is usable in this case. Anyway IMHO it's just a minor bug so only solve it when all major bugs for a release are fixed.

As a rule, I'd prefer to handle all the CSS hacks/import filters in the CSS files and leave only one stylesheet link per page in the HTML. So far, this is the only way I know of to hide all the imported CSS from IE5 (which is what this rule does). Seeing that it creates unnecessary 404s, I'll see if I can find another method of hiding CSS from IE5. Suggestions welcome!

Wouldn't the simplest solution be just to include a empty file called "null" in the admin's css directory? From my understanding of the hack, it won't cause any change in function, and will stop the webserver generating misleading 404 errors.

Frame is no longer available.
This part works with the following brands: Whirlpool, Admiral, Estate, Inglis, Kenmore, KitchenAid, Roper, Maytag, Crosley, Jenn-Air, Hardwick, Magic Chef, Amana, Caloric & Glenwood.
I first removed the two screws (located on the inner side of the door about halfway from the top) which hold the hinges to the door. With the screws removed, I was able to remove the entire door by grasping the door on each side and puling up and sliding the door away from the hinges.The rest involves deconstructing the door by removing the screws and layers of metal liner layers and frames until you reach the inner glass.You're likely to get anxious about remembering where all the screws go when reassembling, but if you lay out the screws in the same orientation they were in prior to disassembly, you should be fine.
Help other customers find the most helpful instructions.
Were these instructions helpful?
First I removed the oven door from the unit by removing the screws that are located approximately 6 inches from the bottom of the door. After the screws have been removed be aware and take caution when you pull the door up and away from the unit. The hinges are spring loaded and can casue injury. Once the door has been removed from the unit place it front side down on a soft rug or cloth to avoid any scatching. Remove the two philips head screws from the top of the door and the two philips head screws from the bottom of the door. carefully separate the interior steel panel from the exterior panel. Once the panels are separated you will see the first pane of glass. Remove the four nutscrews that hold it in place. Behind this pane of glass you will find the xterior pane of glass. remove it and install the new piece. Be sure to clean the glass before you install it. Replace the parts in reverse order and soon you will be cooking again.
I read several posts of this glass door replacement before ordering and was a little hesitant, but after looking at my stove door broken for a number of years I decided to make a move. I searched the site found item # PS337162 and ordered it. The posts didn't sound too complicated. The glass arrived in two days, the repair went amazingly fast 20 min max. The following worked well for us:1) Removed screws from around door bottom, top and sides. DID NOT REMOVE SCREWS MIDWAY UP ON INSIDE OF THE DOOR, HOLDS THE SPRING LATCHES.2) Removing the door is not necessary once the screws are out, the outside panel comes loose from the interior. Propped the exterior part of the door up to meet the top of the drawer on the bottom of the stove, the natural position of the door as if it were opened during normal cooking.3) Once the exterior part is off, the interior is exposed, removed the screws which held # 4 glass along with brace in place (4 screws hexagon screws) before being able to remove the full size interior panel which holds the # 7 glass in place.4) After removing the #4 glass, etc. the inner most part is exposed, the interior full size panel needs to be removed, took 4 screws (hexagon) loose and the panel pulled a loose freely.5) When removing this panel be careful, the #7 glass drops freely once the panel is pulled back, there is also exposed insulation. Remove the exterior #7 glass and then pull the aluminum 1" spacer out to reach the inner most piece of #7 glass (this is the one I needed to replace) exposed inside oven. The cork seal appeared to be in good condition and did not need to be replaced.6) Clean glass, and reassembled. Sounds like a lot but it is not, never removed the door from the hinges and replacement went very quickly. I wish I would have done this years ago.I have had this stove since July 1994 and its been great, I have had no problems except the glass of which had nothing to do with the mfg.
1. Open door and place a nail in the small circle in each of the two side hinges. This step is crucial. It keeps the hinges from springing back into the oven when the door is removed.2. Remove the 2 screws on the oven door at the top of each spring. Close the door until stopped by the 2 nails, then lift the door up and off the hinges.3. Lay the door on a soft surface(some oven parts may be greasy), inside of the door face up, and remove the 5 screws holding the main two halves of the door together. Remove the top piece.4. Remove the 4 screws that are under the insulation strips. This will damage the strips, but there is no other way. Just try to keep as much of the strip as you can.5. Continue removing screws and layers of glass (ours had 3 inner layers)until you reach the inner most piece.6. Replace the broken glass and then reverse the process to put everything back together.Notes: We work slowly and methodically, so the whole process took us over an hour but we also took this opportunity to really clean every crack and crevasse that is normally hidden. All in all this was not a very hard job and worth doing it as a DYI project instead of calling a repair person.
First tried to replace the glass and gasket without removing the oven door. Removed all screws and took the door apart. However, I found it was very hard to get the gasket to stay in place and put the glass window in place with the door frame still attached to the oven and upright. Decided to go ahead and lift the door off the hinges by removing the two final screws. Then the door could be layed flat on the floor and it was much easier to put in the insulation and glass pane.
