- [Show abstract] [Hide abstract] ABSTRACT: BACKGROUND: There are many agents in clinical use that manipulate central nervous system levels of epinephrine, dopamine, and serotonin. However, development of pharmacological options to manipulate central acetylcholine systems has lagged behind because of poor penetration of the blood-brain barrier and significant peripheral nervous system side effects. Newer agents have demonstrated some efficacy in the management of behavioral and cognitive side effects in Alzheimer's disease, and preliminary data in traumatic brain injury suggest acetylcholine esterase inhibitors may play a significant role in the treatment of this patient population as well. CONCLUSIONS: In this article, the basic neuroanatomy and pharmacology of the central acetylcholine system are reviewed, along with agents currently available for clinical use.

Dannika Nash, a junior at the University of Sioux Falls (S.D.), wrote a blog that went viral in March. Nash blogged about her experience at a Macklemore concert, during which 5,000 young people passionately responded to the singer's marriage equality anthem "Love." In her blog, addressed to "Church" and signed "A College Kid Who Misses You," Nash outlined why she believes her peers have defected from their religious upbringings — dissatisfaction with the church's stance against marriage equality. She received more than 3,000 comments.

Dudes and dudettes…here's a major story that once again has been ignored by the mainstream media, of course! After all, we know what Chris Crane had to say doesn't fit their never-ending agenda, especially when it comes to illegal immigration and the powers that be that have tied their hands in more ways than one at every turn in the road! Hells Bells, they've been neutered when it comes to doing to their jobs and enforcing the laws we have on the books now! – Dear Leader is more than satisfied, his agenda fulfilled!
Here's the report…you can read this in full here:
Chris Crane, president of the National Immigration and Customs Enforcement Council 118, made a number of stunning revelations during his testimony before the Senate Judiciary Committee on Wednesday — and he's begging Congress for help. The ICE union boss argued that agents are no longer allowed to arrest illegal aliens solely for illegal entry or expired visas and morale is at an all-time low.
Most Americans would be shocked to find out that immigration agents are regularly "prohibited from enforcing the two most fundamental sections of United States immigration law," he said. Instead, the administration has ordered that only illegals charged or convicted of "very serious criminal offenses" may be arrested or charged by ICE agents and officers.
"In fact, under current policy individuals legally in the United States must now be convicted of 3 or more criminal misdemeanors before ICE agents are permitted to charge or arrest the illegal alien for illegal entry or overstaying a visa," he added. That is unless the misdemeanors involve assault, sexual abuse or drug trafficking.
Even more shocking, Crane said ICE agents or officers who witness a violation of immigration law are prohibited from making arrests and even from asking questions "under the threat of disciplinary action."
Citing a recent morale survey disseminated throughout federal agencies, Crane said ICE ranks 279 out of 291 in employee morale and job satisfaction. He has previously asked the Obama administration to help address the plummeting morale and dissatisfaction among ICE agents.
Meanwhile, the Obama administration is continually making it nearly impossible for agents to enforce federal immigration law because they allow special interests groups to influence policy, Crane explained.
"The day-to day duties of ICE agents and officers often seem in conflict with the law as ICE officers are prohibited from enforcing many laws enacted by Congress; laws they took an oath to enforce," he said. "ICE is now guided in large part by influences of powerful special interest groups that advocate on behalf of illegal aliens."
Crane continued: "These influences have in large part eroded the order, stability and effectiveness of the agency, creating confusion among ICE employees. For the last four years it has been a roller coaster for ICE officers with regard to who they can or cannot arrest, and which federal laws they will be permitted to enforce. Most of these directives restricting enforcement are given only verbally to prevent written evidence from reaching the public."
All of these restrictions being placed on ICE employees has put them in increased danger and the agency has seen assaults against ICE officers and agents continue to rise as "ICE arrestees become increasingly more violent and criminal in nature."
You may be surprised to know that ICE agents are also prohibited from carrying life saving protective equipment like Tasers while on duty. Crane said ICE won't approve the equipment due to "political reasons."
"Death or serious injury to ICE officers and agents appears more acceptable to ICE, DHS and administration leadership than the public complaints that would be lodged by special interest groups," he added.
Crane closed with this:
"In closing, while deeply concerned by the actions of our agency, as well as the current state and future of immigration enforcement, we are optimistic that all of these matters can be resolved with the assistance of members of Congress.
Only time will tell if lawmakers will answer the repeated pleas for help. Nearly a dozen immigration agents have sued the Obama administration for the right to enforce immigration law.
Just as a side note, despite being AFL-CIO affiliates, the union representing ICE agents has been shunned by AFL-CIO President Richard Trumpka and shut out of the development of immigration policy with the union and the Obama administration. The ICE agents union reportedly made multiple attempts to contact Trumpka's top advisors to resolve the situation but have been ignored.

One Reason People Are Starting to "Get It"
So, a congressman says that climate science should be simplified to "Sixth Grade Level" because Americans "don't get" it.
Possibly he is referring to that nice, insightful congressman from Georgia worried about islands tipping over during a global warming rant? Or the esteemed senator from Connecticut who said at a committee hearing in 2003 that 2002 turned out to be less warm than predicted because the economy slowed down? Or the senator from Rhode Island who said he knows it's warming because his wife swims in the ocean and she's sure she feels it? Or the guy in the same seat before him who said we know carbon dioxide is a problem because people asphyxiate in their garages every year?
That kind of not getting it? Good grief, is it November yet?

ahh...that is so sweet! i love the feeling of support and friendship portrayed in the article. I can so see my little girl doing this when she is in HS.
how are YOU doing? what are you most nervous about?
Mom to Ada (28), Nolan(25),Gaven (12/29/01-3/14/2), Gabe (10), Lauren 7/22/07 DS
I am doing alright, it has just been a strange week for me. I think it is all getting real for me and I can't quite put my finger on what i am nervous about. I think it has more to do with the fact of bringing a second child into our family and how that will change our family dynamic, more than anything else. Plus, we are really just in the waiting game now to see how healthy our little girl is. She has surprised our doctors left and right with how she has been developing-no heart defects, went from 5th percentil for size to 91st percentile. We were orginally told I would have to be induced because of her size and everything, but now it looks like I will go to term. Like I said, don't really know what I am nervous about, I think it is just the lack of control at this point-nothing more we can do except wait.
But, this article kinda helped keep me grounded and get back to reality again. Makes me glad to live in the midwest:)
Thats was a great story, thanks for sharing.

Great for Sensitive Skin
By chem-free girl
from washington, dc
describe yourself First Time Parent
I first used this on my newborn after the vernix had subsided. I waited probably a good two weeks after birth for the first bath and then I only used water. But by the second or third bath, it was time to use a little soap. I picked this because ewg.org listed this as all natural and low-rated. All the ingredients are ones I can read and understand. It suds up really well, and has a pleasant, light scent during and after. My baby's skin is very sensitive and this has never been a bother. It does not over dry or cause rashes. I use this in combination with the bath powder same brand. It lasts a long time. Only a little dab will do ya. I'm still on the same bottle half way through and baby is 4 months old. My bottle came with a pump which I found useful when you're bathing one handed. I even dropped the bottle and the pump piece broke off, but I could put it back on and it still worked. Not sure if what's pictured (non-pump bottle) is what's sent or not.

Nauseating smell
By Ketty
from Delaware
If you are sensitive to scents like me, do not buy this product. It works but the smell is a little off. It is not an offensive odor or anything, but the sweet scent makes me feel nauseated and gives me a head ache. I think it's the calendula extract and tea combination that does not agree well with my nose.
Bottom Line No, I would not recommend this to a friend

The Power of Independent Thinking
Senior Fellow Benjamin Powell is Interviewed on American Medicine Today Radio on Drug Approvals and the FDA
Recorded: Saturday, December 12, 2015
What is the cost of the long approval process for potentially life-saving drugs by the FDA? The approval process can take up to 12 years and cost $1 billion. But there are other costs. Patients arent able to take drugs that arent approved and they might die or become more ill. Another cost is that a potential drug maker might not want to take the financial risk of taking a drug to market. Powell recommends testing drugs but possibly making drugs "FDA recommended", rather than "FDA approved." Whats needed is competition and markets to help patients and entrepreneurs, says Powell.

Research Fellow Randall Holcombe is a guest on the Larry Conners USA Radio Show on KTRS St. Louis. Holcombe discusses President Obamas push for shorter prison sentences and why the move is a mistake. The war on drugs has been waged for 35 years. Drugs are impossible to control and their use should not be illegal, according to Holcombe. Transactions among consenting adults shouldnt be prosecuted, he says. Only if property crimes or violence occurs, should drug users be prosecuted.

Mary L.G. Theroux on KPCC on Repeal of the "Maximum Family Grant" Welfare Rule
Recorded: Monday, February 23, 2015
Independent Institute Senior Vice President Mary L. G. Theroux was a guest on KPCC radio to discuss California's effort to repeal the "maximum family grant" rule for welfare recipients with children.

Changes to our file uploader and large file uploading fixAs you are all probably aware we have had an issue for many, many months now with our file uploader not being able to process large file uploads (typically files above 300MB in size). During this time we've been working with mod authors to manually upload large files to our database for them. Obviously this isn't ideal for either you or for us, so we've also been working diligently behind the scenes to get a new uploader coded for the sites. We've finished work on this new uploader and it's now live and available to be used on the sites.
This new uploader brings with it a number of new bene ...(continue reading the full article)

SSL Testing on Nexus ModsHi folks,
Just a quick heads up that we're currently testing out the implementation of SSL security across the Nexus site (not the forums, yet).
The switch has been flicked and you should be seeing a nice padlock in your URL bar while browsing the site. Some pages aren't showing a green padlock yet due to links to the non-SSL side of the forums.
While initial testing has been positive, we'd appreciate it if you could let us know if you notice any errors, issues or anomalies browsing the site today as we cannot extensively test every single last nook and cranny of these sites as effectively as a f ...(continue reading the full article)

Wanted: NMM Testers and Focus GroupWe're currently in the process of adding new features into Nexus Mod Manager, Robin covered it briefly in a previous news post, so I'll try and expand a little more.
What we are aiming for with NMM is a piece of software that will make the installation, management and visibility of mods incredibly easy and open. You see a mod you like on our site, you click 'Download with NMM' and have it seamlessly downloaded, unpacked and placed in the right location with minimal fuss.

Downloading issuesUpdate: This issue should now be resolved.
Hi folks,
We're aware of some issues with our download mechanism today which certain users are experiencing on certain files. The problem stems from our current work trying to get the sites switched over to a fully SSL secured system -- a complex and costly procedure we've been working on for some time now to better secure our sites and your user data.
Because the way this is affecting the CDN, this issue is likely to get worse before it gets better as the CDN cache begins to empty out. We obviously hope to get it fixed as soon as possible, but it could ...(continue reading the full article)

Ad reporting functionalityTo help us sort out our ad serving we've added a new "report this ad" feature underneath any ad placements on the site. This functionality will quickly let us know about the ad placement you're reporting which we can then pass on to our ad supplier to help them quickly get to the root of the problem.
A bad ad that we would appreciate you reporting if you see it would be considered as:
- Any ads with auto-playing sound.
- Any ads that look like those crazy epilepsy inducing ads of the early 2000s with flashing colours.
- Any pop-ups. We do not use pop-up ads.

Corrections to file statsHi folks,
It came to our attention last week, in a random forum post unrelated to the topic, that the unique file download stats have been broken for quite some time now. I honestly had no idea this was the case.
The unique download stat you see on file pages is supposed to tell you how many individual members have downloaded a file. Irrespective of how many times that user comes back to download that file (or multiple versions of a file on the same page) the unique download counter should only go up once per user who downloads from a file page. As an example, imagine a new user goes to the SkyU ...(continue reading the full article)

Coming Soon: XCOM 2 Nexus, New File Uploading Functionality.posted by SirSalami Site NewsI still play XCOM: Enemy Unknown and despite it's age, it still feels fresh to me thanks to thoughtful design and mechanics, classic sci-fi setting, white-knuckle tactical action, and of course mind blowing mods like XCOM:Long War.
2K has apparently done it again! XCOM 2 has been in the hands of reviewers and word on the street is nothing but praise.

Nosferatu Review
"Gargamel Meets Count Chocuala"
December 7th, 2013
The soundtrack was frighting and the main vampire Count Orlok or people call him Nosferatu is one scary and creepy Bad-ass vampire. the movie is in black and white and that makes the movie more scary because if Count Orlok was in color he will look like Gargamel or count chocula, so if they did a remake of this movie in the future they should make it in to black and white. the nick picks that I have on the movie is the movie is a silent movie and you have to read it and don't get me wrong I like silent movies but if your a fast reader then you are going to think that this movie is slow because the words are they for 1 minute.so that is my review of this movie and I really loved it more then the remake in the 70's.

Humpday, the third feature from local filmmaker Lynn Shelton, made its world premiere in the Dramatic Competition section of the 2009 Sundance Film Festival. It was the first film sale of the festival and went on to win a Special Jury Prize "For the Spirit of Independence," and more recently was selected to play in the exclusive Directors' Fortnight section of the 2009 Cannes Film Festival. This weekend Shelton brought her production back home: its Seattle premiere was the Centerpiece Gala for the Northwest Connections sidebar at SIFF. (Scott Foundas' review.) The movie opens in Seattle July 10.
Humpday is the story of best friends - one married and seemingly content in a conventional lifestyle, the other an aimless traveler whose artistic ambitions are unmatched by his accomplishments - who reunite after 10 years and make an unusual commitment to an extreme art project: two straight men having sex on camera for an amateur porno festival. Mark Duplass (of The Puffy Chair and Hannah Takes the Stairs) and Joshua Leonard (co-star of the indie blockbuster The Blair Witch Project) play the very straight buddies who essentially dare each other into the project and Seattle stage actress Alycia Delmore co-star's as Duplass' wife. The rest of Shelton's cast and crew was drawn from the pool of Seattle talent. Here are some excerpts from my interview with Shelton (photographed above by Garrett Mukai) after the jump...On casting Mark Duplass:
I met Mark on the set of True Adolescents [also at SIFF 2009], which was being shot in Seattle in August of '07. He was starring in it and I was shooting still photography. We knew of each other, we had mutual friends in the filmmaking community, so it was sort of like no introduction was necessary. We just gave each other a big old hug the first time we saw each other and immediately bonded as filmmakers. We would jabber away over the craft table and at lunch and we realized we had a lot in common in terms of our filmmaking philosophies. And it was really clear that we wanted to work together in some capacity by the time he went back to L.A..
On the origins of the idea:
I called Mark with this idea. It took me a little while to get the nerve up because I was a little worried about how he would react, I wanted to pitch it just right, but basically I said: "The idea is two best friends from college, ten years later their lives have sort of diverged, but the basic premise is they decide they have to try and have sex together, two straight friends." He sort of paused for half a second and then said, "Okay! Sounds great!" The interesting thing was that I originally had seen him in the other role, this idea of the wild, adventuring nomadic artist, very charismatic. He immediately said, "I've got to play the domesticated dude. That's just where I am in my life right now and that would be more interesting for me." So I said, "Okay, I'm going to need help finding the other guy because I don't know anybody as charismatic as you and he needs to be at least as charismatic as you." So that was when we brought Josh [Leonard] in.
On her quasi-improvisational approach to filmmaking:
You always hear people talk about how a script is just a blueprint and then things really shift on set. This is even more of that. The training that I have as an actor is what comes into play: Incredibly specific backstory, incredibly clear objectives, everybody knows exactly what they want out of that scene specifically and they know exactly what's come before, so they have all of those basic good acting craft things in place. The tension is there, everything is all set in place. I have everything laid out ahead of time except for the actual words that they are going to be saying.
On the collaboration between actor and director:
Casting is always really important, but in the case of this kind of methodology, you're really casting writers as well as actors. It doesn't mean that the actors have to be actual writers, it's just that they have to comfortable enough to improvise. Some actors just can't improvise. They're great if they have lines and have got a script, but they really can't come up with their own thing. Because Mark and Josh are filmmakers, it somehow makes it easier for them. And I want the actors in early in the process so that they can be a party to their own character's development. You can't really figure out exactly what's going to happen until you figure out who the characters are. So that's why as the characters are developing, the plot becomes more and more specific and you can shift that around. So it's a very organic way of working and it seems to work really well, at least in this case.
On why she makes films the way she does:
Obviously there's challenges to every filmmaking style but the truthfulness is the thing that I think is going to sell it. I was really concerned with it in this film because the set-up, the premise, is so absurd that the only way I felt that I could sell the comedy, or sell the story at all, was if you really believe every step of the way that these were real characters: you believe them as people, you believe their relationships, you recognize yourself or other people you know in the characters and the relationships to some extent and that they could actually get themselves into that kind of a bind. That they could actually live out a weekend that is as ridiculous as they do in the movie. I think we pulled it off.

Type: Improvement
Status: Open
Priority: Minor
Resolution: Unresolved
Affects Version/s: 1.2 branch
Fix Version/s: Undefined future
Component/s: Core Library
I am trying to generate the database from my model, but some things are missing.
cayenne currently does create sequence for all tables.
CREATE SEQUENCE pk_person INCREMENT 20 START 200;
for tables with db-generated primary key cayenne should do something like:
create sequence pk_person;
alter table person alter person_id set default nextval('pk_person');
- All
- Comments
- Work Log
- History
- Activity
- Transitions
Hmm... I guess if we go with your solution, we'll still be able to provide an id value from Cayenne, ignoring th default. One thing we will loose is the PK cache. I am undecided on that, but I guess if you send a patch that works, I'll apply it.
Hmm, good point. I have not tried. My application has some old plain jdbc code and some new cayenne code. All the generated columns are for tables that I have not done cayenne-inserts into.
Perhaps this issue could be solved for psql and other bases now or in the future? It would be realy nice to be able to create the complete db schema from the cayenne model.
Tore, were you able to actually use this mechanism? And if so, what version of PostgreSQL and JDBC driver? I am asking cause the last time I tried (PG 8.0), the driver did not support JDBC3 mechanism for returning the generated PK back from insert statement to the Java layer. So setting up autoincrement was a moot point.
In other words, is there a version of PG JDBC driver that has a working implementation of "java.sql.Statement.getGeneratedKeys()"?

Naa. I'm still living in denial (with my wife Cleopatra). I don't like wearing anything that says "old" on it. Besides, it's too freaking honest, 1- I'm a "Guy", 2- I'm of German heritage so I'm genetically "cranky", 3- I have to admit I'm going more downhill than up so I'm "old". 4- I don't think I "rule" anything in my household.

Hey I just looked it up and here is the "Old Guys Rule" site, and they have that shirt and one with a Mtn. bike http://www.oldguysrule.com/catalog/T_Shirts-7-1.html
Just the thing to be wearing when you are passing some young whippersnappers on their CF wonderbikes.
$20 and then an extra $1 for XXL, that outrageous. I hate when they do that, do they charge an extra for a medium over a small? It really peaves me off! Never would I buy one when they charge the extra buck for me being fat, never I say. Oops, there's my cranky coming out, maybe I do need a new shirt.
I am 39, and I am told I am cranky. Maybe I need one .

Vagabonds.Complete Collection by dantetylerWatch
©2013-2016 dantetyler
love them all
Well Goodness, I really do love all of them- BECAUSE (as compliments aren't solid without justification) there is something both feminine in terms of the contrast of fitted and fluid materials and yet all the outfits (significantly 1 and 2) are both outside of time and space. There is nothing that screams 1920s without it also screaming present day. Number 5 screams western yet her maxi skirt and the colours used juxtaposes it. The collection has themes of power and of women's strength as though each outfit in term could be worn by a queen, a business CEO or indeed a high class escort.

Joaquin Murrieta was born in the Republic of the United States of Mexico. His family, highly respectable people of Sonora, brought him up in his native town, where he received a finished education.
During his childhood he was remarkable for his sweet and gentle disposition. There was nothing in him then to indicate that daring, unconquerable spirit which made him so celebrated later. All who knew him in his youth spoke affectionately of his good, noble and generous nature. They were hardly able to believe that the terrible adventurer of California whom we are going to portray could be the same kind, pleasant Joaquin Murrieta whom they knew.
In 1845 Joaquin left his native town in Sonora to seek his fortune in the capital. He was then sixteen years old, tall, well-formed, with a countenance not only agreeable but handsome, and in addition to these physical, qualities he had a great inclination for adventure of all kinds.
When he arrived in Mexico City he went to the home of Señor Estudillo, an old friend of his father, and presented a letter of introduction, by virtue of which he was very well received by that gentleman. Very soon his protector obtained employment for him as a groom in the stables of President Lopez de Santa-Anna.
This position, relatively mediocre, he was made to understand would lead him to the most elevated governmental posts; it was one of the steps of the ladder by which some, not all, began to rise and succeed in attaining power. Santa-Anna was very fond of horsemanship. Joaquin, whose deeds had given him renown in his native country, and who would often divert himself by taming the wildest horses of Texas, saw in the passion of the ruler of Mexico a means of becoming known to him and of winning his sympathy.
Nevertheless, his ambitious hopes were not realized as he would have wished, and he even had to give up some of his claims on account of the jealous suspicions of his comrades, the groomsmen of the presidential stables.

Over the years, I have cared for neighbors, family friends, and teachers friends, and now many families in NYC. I have experience with children age 1+, special needs children and adults, both boys and girls, in date night, occasional, and part-time afterschool positions.
I enjoy babysitting because of the weight it takes off from the parents backs. Making their lives easier while also having fun with children is well worth the time.

City Making Plans to Reactivate Water Fluoridation
The Smithville Aldermen voted 5-0 Monday night to re-activate fluoridation of the city's water supply, but no date certain has been set on when that will occur. It could be weeks or months.
City officials say the machine that feeds the fluoride into the water system broke down about a year and a half ago and was never repaired or replaced.
At the April 6th meeting, Smithville physician Dr. Steven Cooper and dentist Dr. Mitchell Tatum addressed the Smithville Mayor and Board of Aldermen asking that the fluoridation be re-activated for the benefit of the citizens.
Concerned citizen Gary Durham, who first raised the issue several weeks ago, isn't happy that the city never fixed the problem when it occurred, that city leaders never notified the public when the fluoride treatment had been discontinued, and that there now may be an extended delay.
Alderman Steve White made a motion that the treatment be started again, and to let the public know when, but that the city first consult with officials of Wauford Engineering Company about whether the new fluoride machines should be installed now or included as part of the design of the rehabilitation of the Water Treatment Plant. Alderman Tonya Sullivan requested that any needed safety equipment to support the fluoride treatment procedure also be purchased before the process is begun.
In other business, Mayor Taft Hendrixson briefly mentioned that a workshop was held Thursday night to discuss the firefighter's request but that more discussion will follow on that issue during budget preparation time.
Smithville firefighters want their all volunteer unit to become a combination department with a few full time firefighters as well as volunteers. They are also asking that some extra funds be designated in the budget for training and that the firefighters pay scale be changed.
In the proposal, the firefighters want the city to fund two full time firefighter positions per 24 hour shift, for a total of six positions along with an administrative person.
Concerned citizen Faye Sandosky addressed the mayor with some questions about how members are appointed to the Industrial Development Board and Smithville Electric System Board. "At the last meeting, at the city attorney's advice, the previous appointments to the Smithville Electric Board and the Industrial Board were set aside. I don't know either of the gentlemen personally. My concern is that at no time have the requirements of the job or the selection criteria been mentioned here. I have a few very simple questions before any further actions are taken on the appointments. I would like the mayor to respond since he makes the appointments."
"What does the job require? What is the criteria? Is diversity a consideration? Does the manager of Smithville Electric and or the Smithville Board provide input? What benefits go along with the appointment? What do eligible residents/citizens of the city need to do to have their names considered and is it too late for that?"
Mayor Hendrixson responded " I don't have to answer these questions. These are my appointments and I make the decisions. The board either approves them or disapproves them.
" The Job requirements? They make decisions on these boards that they are appointed to."
" What is the criteria? I have contacted both of these boards and they both recommend those two people that I appointed."
"Diversity? I know I have appointed some women on some boards since I have been here."
"Does the manager of Smithville Electric and the Industrial Board provide input? Yes ma'am they do."
"What benefits go along with the appointment of an industrial board? To my knowledge they get one meal every quarter, if they meet every quarter. Most of the time they don't meet that often. On the Smithville Electric Board, I don't know what they get paid, if anything. They do have some fringe benefits to go along with those appointments such as insurance."
"What do they do to have their names considered? Well, again that's my appointments to make and the board of each one of these places have recommended that I appoint the ones I did."
At the April 6th meeting, the aldermen voted 4-0 to set aside the appointments of Tim Stribling to the Industrial Development Board and Walter Burton to the Smithville Electric System Board after City Attorney Vester Parsley, Jr. issued an opinion that the mayor should have first notified the aldermen in writing of his intentions before making the appointments, according to the city charter.
The mayor has not yet re-submitted the names for consideration and those positions remain vacant.

The challenge:
The German geek podcast Fanboys asked their audience in their latest episode 135 to check which of the episode numbers for upcoming shows will be a 2-level Harshad Number.
A Harshad Number in a given number base, is an integer that is divisible by the sum of its digits when written in that base.
A 2-level Harshad Number, according to the Fanboys interpretation, shall be a number which divisible by the sum of its digits, and the resulting ratio itself shall be a Harshad Number.
Solution (ugly, to be refined):
I tried to solve this task in R with following code adding a function "two.step.harshed.number(start, end)" with following code:
# Function to calculate the two-leveled Harshed Numbers for given integer number intervall
two.step.harshed.number = function(start, end)
# Function to calculate a digit sum
digitsum = function (x) {sum(as.numeric(unlist(strsplit(as.character(x), split="")))) }
# Function returning a numbers value if integer, otherwise NA
checkinteger = function (x) {
if (x%%1==0) {
return (x)
else {
# Setup data frame with rows of numbers from start value to end value
db = data.frame(number=start:end)
# 1st level run
# Calculate the digit sum of those numbers
db$digitsum1 = sapply(db$number, FUN=digitsum)
# Calculate the ratio of number and it's digit sum and keep only if it's an integer
db$ratio1 = db$number / db$digitsum1
db$ratio1 = sapply(db$ratio1, FUN=checkinteger)
db = na.omit(db)
# 2st level run
# Calculate the digit sum of the previous (integer) ratio
db$digitsum2 = sapply(db$ratio1, FUN=digitsum)
# Calculate the ratio of the previous ratio and it's digit sum and keep only if it's an integer
db$ratio2 = db$ratio1 / db$digitsum2
db$ratio2 = sapply(db$ratio2, FUN=checkinteger)
db = na.omit(db)
# Return remaining number, which proved to be two-leveled Harshed Numbers
The solution for the challenge (next episodes up to number 200) when using the function:
two.step.harshed.number(136, 200)
is a series of three numbers, which appear correct to me:
162 180 200
I am aware this is a beginners code. I'd like to create another function which generalizes the task to n-steps. I.e. function "n.step.harshed.number(steps, start, end)". Any ideas to accomplish this and make the code more efficient?

Blitzen Trapper play the HUB Auditorium Friday, 2/22.
Menomena, Blitzen Trapper, BOAT
HUB Auditorium Fri., February 22, 7:00pm
Let's face it, weekend shows on the University of Washington campus are a little like standing in a grocery check-out line on a Saturday night with a tub of cookie dough and a sixer of Diet Dr. Pepper. There's nothing wrong with it, but it's not necessarily the first place you want to be seen. Still, the UW HUB has hosted some unexpectedly good bands over the years, including Cursive, Blue Scholars, the Posies and most notably, Nirvana in 1990—who were subsequently banned for life from all UW venues for destroying so much equipment. That won't be a problem tonight, when Menomena and Blitzen Trapper (both from Portland), and local band Boat play a birthday concert for UW's radio station, Rainy Dawg Radio. Sloppy-poppy, electro-acoustic Boat deliver infectious hooks, synthy keyboard licks, handclaps, and "ooo"'s. Blitzen Trapper play backwoods '60s country rock a la the Band and Canned Heat if they were around long enough to reap the benefits of 21st-century pedals and digital production, and indie-experimentalists Menomena play soulful rock exploding with vocal harmonies, baritone saxophone, and vibraphone without seeming to ever take themselves too seriously. Truly, a triple header we can all be proud to attend. ERIK NEUMANN

Monotonix play the Comet Tavern, Friday, 2/22.
Monotonix, the Valley, Black Eyes & Neckties
Seattle Weekly has spilled way more than our share of ink lavishing praise on Tel Aviv–based garage punks Monotonix, urging anyone with two ears and a pulse to catch them live, reviewing their shows and post-show parties, and generally spazzing out about how amazing and truly kinetic they are onstage ("stage" being a very loose term, considering their tendency to exploit every square inch of a venue). Well, why stop now? If you only go to one bar show all year, this really should be it. The boys are rolling through Seattle with new drummer Haggai Fershtman in support of their forthcoming Drag City debut, Body Language. Really, the only legitimate concern I have about this show is that Monotonix probably should be playing a venue larger than the Comet this time around; selling out early is a given. With the Valley and Black Eyes & Neckties. HANNAH LEVIN
Comet Tavern, 9 p.m.
Viva La Zep!
The Music of Led Zeppelin
The sound is perfect. John Paul Jones welcomes the congregation on the organ, Jimmy Page's guitar plucking is sublime, Bonzo's unflappable, and just as Robert Plant lays into the chorus of "Your Time Is Gonna Come," I realize: This is as good as it's gonna get—my old LP, my "new" speakers, my turntable, and my living room. If I'm gonna get the Led out, there's no better place to do it than in my own house. Yet this week, there's a pair of bills that beg to differ. There's the tribute act, No Quarter (at the Tractor Tavern), which was recently snubbed by Bonnaroo in favor of Lez Zeppelin, the all-female fakers. The other is a rock band and orchestra performing "The Music of Led Zeppelin" at the Paramount. If it's anything like that mid-'90s set I saw at the same venue, featuring the Seattle Symphony and a rock band (Soundgarden's Matt Cameron, Slash, half of Queensryche, etc.) performing grunge staples, it'll be well worth it. The Music of Led Zeppelin, Paramount Theatre, 911 Pine St., 683-1414. 8 p.m., $28???$68. Friday, February 22; No Quarter, Tractor Tavern, 5213 Ballard Ave. N.W., 789-3599. 9 p.m. $15 adv./$18.

Infamous String Dusters play the Wintergrass Music Festival Friday, 2/22.
Wintergrass Music Festival with the Infamous String Dusters, the Grascals, Michael Cleveland, Dale Ann Bradley
Wintergrass gets two of the most important Northwest festival features taken care of right from the get-go: It's indoors, and it's free (well, at least the best parts are). It'll also break you away from the monotony of everyday living: no indie rock or scholarly hip-hop on the Hill, but plenty of mandolin, banjo and Downtown Tacoma. The annual bluegrass party attracts pickers from around the country in search of a winter fix. Sure, there are "headliners," like the youthful, poppy Duhks, and former Nickel Creeker Chris Thile, who once wrote a song about Jack Nicholson's character in As Good As It Gets. But the main draw of this four-day affair is the jamming. Every corner, armchair, and elevator will be filled with amateurs and pros, playing side by side into the early morning. There's no fee to jam or to wander around and hear how your neighborhood fiddlers sound. CHRIS KORNELIS

Jeffrey Lewis plays Neumo's, Saturday, 2/23.
Mountain Goats, Jeffrey Lewis and the Jitters
Even though I'm a married baby-mama, I still get rockin' crushes. My love for music has always been primarily libidinous, and these crushes come in two varieties: one immediately packs a powerful punch to my naughty bits (like a Steve Turner guitar solo). The second offers the same POW, but first to my intellect, then slowly trickles down. I'd assumed that feeling was what I'd been experiencing for NYC's Jeffrey Lewis, as I'm currently smitten with his ridiculously sharp folk-rock. But then I realized that this man-boy, with his off-the-meter smarts, self-deprecating wit, feminist ideals, and seemingly endless vault of musical knowledge, possesses all the characteristics that I not only find hot, but are just the kind I'd want my son to grow up with. Now it seems I have a third, all-new kind of crush, this time on Jeffrey Lewis' mom. With Mountain Goats. MA'CHELL DUMA LAVASSAR
Neumo's, 8 p.m. $16 adv.
Serious Business
Another day, another confusing new genre of electronic music! I asked local DJ Jizosh, who's a co-organizer of the new "juke/B-more/electro" monthly "Serious Business," just what exactly that means. "Juke (Chicago), Jit (Detroit), Wu-Tang (Baltimore)…they're all urban dance styles that put emphasis on footwork," he explained. "The common thread between them is bass-heavy club music at 140-plus bpm, and that's a big part of what this night is about. Chicago ghetto house, Detroit ghetto-tech, Miami bass, Baltimore club…we're going to play all of that, alongside French house, disco, hip-hop, and soul." And how have Seattleites responded to these genres in the past, at parties such as Bootylib (held in the room that's now the Cha-Cha, where people don't really get down)? "Club music can be somewhat polarizing, in my experience. It's one of those things people love in small doses. Our aim is to inject as much variety into this night as possible, without it becoming a total gong show." And the DJs? They'll be Slugo, from the Southside of Chicago, and Vancouver's U-Tern. Still not sold? Jizosh suggests prepping with U-Tern's "One Day Later" podcast on BrooklynRadio.net. RACHEL SHIMP

Refugee All Stars play the Moore Theatre, Saturday, 2/23.
Sierra Leone's Refugee All Stars
No rapper's backstory comes close to matching that of Sierra Leone's Refugee All Stars'. First, its members had to flee Freetown, the ironically titled capital of their titular home country, after rebels descended on it in a fusillade of hot metal. Then the group had to haul ass outta their refugee camp in Guinea, because the army decided it was high time to visit yet more cruelty on the landless miserables. Luckily for them and us, however, the All Stars met some cool Canucks, who gave them equipment (and, along with a pair of Americans, filmed a doc on their lives) so they could deliver their reggae-splashed, West African–rooted, peace-loving music. Their sound reinforces the idea that, while we may come screaming into this world, we can leave singing. KEVIN CAPP
Moore Theatre, 8 p.m. $25.
Speaker Speaker (CD release), the Lonely Forest, Hungry Pines
This pop-punk trio is the first band I ever interviewed for this paper, back when they were releasing a little three-song EP called Again & Again & Again in 2005. It was impossibly fresh and infectious, making you want to play it . . . well, you know. Since then, it's been fun to watch them blast off, from playing to adoring crowds at Bumbershoot, to winning a certain local contest for up-and-coming bands in 2006, to covering Jawbreaker on their second EP, to having their debut full-length—released tonight!—produced by the king of this genre, Jawbox's J Robbins. Call It Off does not sound like "Nirvana and the Posies having a battle of the bands inside your stereo," as the P-I has written—it's a hyped-up Braid, a more fun Q and Not U, a more serious Dead Milkmen, an off-the-rails pop romance as unique as the three Seattle kids who made it. With the Lonely Forest and Hungry Pines. RACHEL SHIMP

Palmer, AK plays the Green Room, Sunday, 2/24.
Strong Killings, Palmer, AK, Royal Brougham
At Palmer, AK's initial show at the Crocodile back in early December, band mastermind Eric Howk blew his audience—of friends, family, former and current bandmates, and anyone else who was fortunate enough to catch the live debut—away. Backed up by a good portion of Seattle band Ships (Jacob Hoffman, who also joins Howk in the Lashes, on keys and the lovely Laurie Kearney on bass) as well as Kay Kay and his Weathered Underground's Phil Peterson, Howk's solo material was beautifully executed and full of pop sensibility, melodic hooks, and harmonies over solid walls of rhythmic acoustic guitar. With even more time to fine-tune it since then, and opener Strong Killings (boasting Howk's other Lashes mate, Nate Mooter), tonight should be another feel-good experience for all. With Royal Brougham. AJA PECKNOLD
Green Room, 8 p.m. $5.
