text: I would like to see more small underground biomes. Right now the variation underground is quite limited. There are a few different layers, each having a handful of mobs, many of them palette-swapped slimes. I don't mean to complain about this (and killing slimes is always a good video game staple), but I feel like there's a treasure trove of potential waiting to be unlocked. Rather than adding more endgame material or super-outlandish space biomes (not that that wouldn't be cool, too) or whatever, why not add some texture to the depths of Terraria? Think of the underground wooden structures that can now be found (and that I completely love- thanks Re-Logic!). Now imagine that there are 5 or 6 different varieties of things like that, but quite a bit bigger and more complex, each with 2 or 3 unique mobs. I guess what I'm longing for is a little more of that Metroidvania flavor, where after traveling through the labyrinthine world a bit you start to remember incidental landmarks and it all starts to seem like a real location rather than a huge block of self-similar dirt and air pockets. Handful of examples: Goblin mines, sunken gardens w/ trees, buried castle ruins, ice caves, crystal caves, fossil deposit, you get the idea. Forgive me if all this is just completely obvious and it's a given that eventually something like this will be added. I just want the world below the surface to be a strange and wonderful adventure.

Sell Your Home in 7 Days!
As I was driving around Lynnwood the other day, I see that there is a new batch of 'sell your home in 7 days' and 'we buy houses now' bandit signs popping up along the road sides and on telephone poles. It has been a practice in the industry as well to offer 'guarantees' that agents can sell clients homes in 30, 15 or even 7 days. While I would love to sit here and tell you that those agents are full of it, the truth is that they can sell your home in 7 days!
I can sell your home in 7 days too, but only if you really want to! There is no magical secret to what they do. Any home will sell in a snap if the price is right. In fact if you call me with a home that you are willing to sell for 50% of it's market value at 9am, I can probably have an offer for you by the afternoon! 7 days just gives me time to make some phone calls and do things in a more relaxed manner!
Who is buying homes this fast? Investors of course. It is true that if you put your home on the market, even now in our chaotic real estate market, that you may get an offer on the first day from a regular buyer. It isn't likely though!!! Buyers now know that homes are sitting, and are taking more time to shop for the best deals. The people buying homes in 7 days are investors willing to take on the risk of buying your home even if it needs repairs, there is more owed on it than it is worth, there are liens on it and so on.
If you have a Seattle area home that you REALLY want to sell your home in 7 days, then call me. I have a group of investors that I trust to do a good job and be honest with you, that will buy your home. That being said, don't expect that their, or any other '7 day home buyers' are going to offer even close to full price for your home.
Is it a bad idea to sell your home in 7 days?
Does this mean that I think that selling your home to investors is a bad idea? The answer to this depends on your situation.
For some people, particularly those about to be foreclosed upon, it is the best option. Selling your home quickly to investors can prevent bankruptcy or a house repossession on your credit report. This will leave you in a much better position to purchase another home down the road. Of course you should always talk to an attorney about what is right for your situation and if short selling your home is the best course for you to take.
If you are going to sell your home in 7 days, be careful!
Please, if you are in a situation that requires you to sell your home quick, call someone you trust not a sign alongside the road! While some of the people putting out those signs are legitimate buyers, some are also con-artists.
In my years of being in the business I have run across a variety of scams that can be played and the last thing you want is to make your situation worse! Talk to a real estate agent you can trust, or if you are in the Seattle area you can call me at 425-773.-3149 for advice and help.
The question in the end is do you really need to sell in 7 days?
If you aren't in a situation where time is critical, I would suggest doing a regular listing and try and get as much for your home as possible. If you are in a situation however, where the bank is ready to take back your home and the payments are killing you, then yes, I would suggest that you look at taking an offer from an investor.
Either way, please call me at 425-773-3149 or email me at email@example.com if it is time to get your home sold, or have any questions about marketing a property.
Yes, I can sell your Seattle area home in 7 Days!
Call 425-773-3149 Now!!!
Edmonds – Kirkland – Lake Stevens – Mill Creek – Shoreline
Of course if after reading this post you want to take a little longer selling your home,
I can do that too!

|The relative Langlands program
|Algebra and Number Theory Seminar
|Yiannis Sakellaridis, Rutgers (Newark)
|I will give an overview of what could now be termed the "relative Langlands program". This program, which is still under development, builds on the work of many experts in order to provide a conjectural description of the "local" and the "automorphic" spectra of spherical (e.g. symmetric) varieties in terms of a Langlands dual group attached to them. This has applications to functoriality, and to relations between periods and L-functions such as the ones suggested by the Gan-Gross-Prasad conjectures. The special case where a reductive group is considered as a symmetric variety should recover the usual Langlands conjectures.

Phins Wrap: Do Dolphins have pressure or shaky line?
It was slightly troubling to watch the Miami Dolphins offensive line struggle to pick up the defense's blitzes on Monday.
You guys know I love me some linemen, so it hurt a bit to watch the offense get sliced and diced by the pressure, which was getting clean shots on the quarterback during Monday morning's practice.
One minute it's a cornerback and safety getting there, the next it's inside linebacker Channing Crowder forcing a fumble by easily getting past rookie right guard John Jerry.
For those who were watching the ball Monday morning, they thought cornerback Sean Smith had gotten burned by Brian Hartline for a 40-yard catch. He actually did. It was a great sideline catch, but from a ball that wouldn't have been thrown. Those who watched line play like myself noticed Will Allen had to stop his progress on a would-be sack because if the action was live Chad Henne would have needed a new set of ribs because the blitz ate up his seven-step drop.
Seeing that type of pressure makes me think one of two things:
Either the offensive line, which is mixing and matching right now trying to find the right three interior starters, doesn't have chemistry yet. Or defensive coordinator Mike Nolan's new blitzing schemes, and approach to applying pressure, will become beneficial, forcing more quarterback hurries.
Miami Dolphins fans better hope it's a little bit of both because the offensive line is SUPPOSE to be the strength of this team, and where the pass rushing pressure will come from is the biggest concern.
I talk about this exact topic during my video breakdown of training camp's first few days.
Despite Monday's struggles, the offensive line is starting to come together a little bit more.
Donald Thomas is working as the starting left guard, and I expect he'll win the job because Thomas is one of the team's three strongest players. The offensive line needs that type of punch, and coach Tony Sparano somewhat admitted that.
But Sparano doesn't plan to stop churning the interior guys. At least not now.
"I feel like there's good depth at this position; hard decisions to be made, okay. Now what am I looking for? I'm looking for the two most consistent players," Sparano said. "I think I got it right now on whether or not they're tough guys, or they're not tough guys. I feel like I understand that.
"Consistency, efficiency in job description is important for me right now at that position. I need to see that right now, and I think they're getting plenty of reps….. Who's first right now and who's second doesn't matter. If I showed you the reps right now, you would laugh at ridiculously close it is amongst who's playing first and who's playing second."
Before camp started I expressed concern about putting rookies in position to become immediate starters, but it appears first-round pick Jared Odrick is doing a pretty good job adjusting to the five-technique.
My partner, Mike B, wrote a good piece about the struggles Odrick's family are presently experiencing, and how Odrick's success serves as an inspiration.
Sun-Sentinel columnist Dave Hyde writes about how former Dolphins are facing their mortality often attending their teammate's funeral.
Shot out to all my face painters out there.

I think there is the perception that the Commander simply has less MASS than the Government model, and maybe there is a subtle matter of balance, too. Plus, for IWB carry that extra inch of depth at the strong side hip might just about lay the gun right ON the SCIATIC NERVE for some folks. The truth is that my wife's Commander is "set up" for carry and my Gov't Model is not. For one thing, the trigger pull on the Gov't model is waaaaay too light for it to be a good carry gun if only for those 12 ignorant jurors who'll sit in judgment of me and my actions. Wife's Commander breaks clean and crisp at 4.5 pounds and that's a half pound better than recommended by most authorities. So if I desire a 1911, I'll carry the Commander. But I'm getting away from the SA style 1911. I'll only carry either my Glock M27, my Sig P245 or (when I get it) my next gun which will be a ParaOrdnance Spec-Ops Hi-Cap LDA. That's a DAO 1911 that doesn't feel like a DAO.Quote:

Miami Dolphins: What questions are left to answer at OTAs
The Miami Dolphins are seriously exploring signing Chad Ochocinco, and if the veteran receiver shows well during his workout this week (probably today or tomorrow) expect Miami to sign the six-time Pro Bowler.
The Dolphins have a need to an established veteran receiver because nobody has stepped up significantly during this summer's OTA sessions, and sources say some of the rookie receivers have been disappointing.
There's also concern about a medical issue that has limited Brian Hartline.
It's early, but the Dolphins realize they need to address the position, and Ochocinco's past production is enticing.
Here's a laundry list of things I'll be looking for during today's Dolphins OTA session, which comes a week before the team's minicamp, which concludes the offseason program.
From the receivers…..1. Is Clyde Gates still invisible. 2. Brian Hartline work at all this week. 3. Does B.J. Cunningham still have the dropsies. 4. Is Legedu Naanee still making plays like a playmaker.
On the offensive line…..1. Does John Jerry look any thinner, or play any better? 2. Is anyone else going to get a chance to play right guard? 3. What happens to Lydon Murtha now that Jonathan Martin has shown up? 4. Will Martin seamlessly be ready to switch to right tackle? 5. Which undrafted rookie offensive lineman is playing well, and ready to claim a spot on the 53? 6. Can Mike Pouncey block Paul Soliai without help?
For the quarterback obsessed folks out there..(OK, I'm watching too)….
1. Is David Garrard ever going to connect on a deep pass (I'm sensing deep accuracy issues like Chad Henne)? 2. Will Matt Moore perform like he did two weeks ago, finally practicing like it was a Sunday game? 3. When will rookie QB Ryan Tannehill finally adapt to the speed of the game, showing off his understanding of the Dolphins' offense? 4. Are the quarterbacks still feeding on the tight ends, or will they groove with the receivers?
From a defensive standpoint there are only a few issues for the Dolphins….
1. How does Jared Odrick look as a 4-3 end? 2. How does rookie Olivier Vernon perform when he's going against Pro Bowl left tackle Jake Long. 3. How well are the linebackers covering these tight ends? 4. What role will rookie linebacker Josh Kaddu play, and how does he look during his first OTA session? 5. Are Vontae Davis & Richard Marshall working, or are they sidelined by their issues. And which CB steps up if so?
The Dolphins secondary is the only defensive unit where there could be some depth chart movement. Miami needs cornerback Sean Smith to continue to play like a ball hawk. It appears Smith is FINALLY taking a step forward towards becoming consistent. The same needs to happen with safety Reshad Jones.
Jones flashed – pulling down three interceptions – during an OTA session two weeks ago. Can Jones consistently make plays on the ball without becoming a defensive liability?
As for the Dolphins' safety spot opposite Jones, it would be nice to see someone other than Chris Clemons work there, just so we can see some alternatives.
Clemons is consistently steady, but his play is like vanilla ice cream (bland so far). It would be interesting to see what happens when Jones is paired with Jimmy Wilson, Tyrone Culver or Tyrell Johnson. All four of those safeties brings something different to the table. Miami needs to find the right mix for Jones, who likes to gamble.
When today's 10am practice session concludes, we'll breakdown what happened and what was said.

INDIANAPOLIS, Ind. – The Arizona State men's swimming and diving team scored 53 points over the course of the weekend to finish 18th overall at the 2013 NCAA Championships.
Senior diver Harrison Jones rounded out his spectacular season with a tenth-place finish on the platform to score seven more points for Arizona State. Jones earned two All-American accolades on the weekend, placing fifth in both the 1- and 3-meter springboard dives. Between Jones and junior Riley McCormick, the men's diving team earned all 53 points for Arizona State, the most points from a diving team in the entire field at NCAAs.
Junior Alex Coci competed in the 200-yard butterfly for the Sun Devils. Coci was just over a second from qualifying for the finals, coming in at 1:44.36 to finish 18th overall. Coci set the school record in the 200-yard fly earlier this season, swimming a 1:43.72 at the Pac-12 Championships.
The other Sun Devil to compete in the pool was Thibaut Capitaine, who swam in the 200-yard breaststroke for the Sun Devils and came in at 30th overall in the preliminary round. Capitaine touched with a time of 1:57.64, a couple of seconds off of his previous best, which currently holds the school record.

Allison Wood | The Gazette
BRUNSWICK — A Brunswick mom is worried her two adopted daughters will not be able to get the specialized counseling services they need if the state cuts the program that helps parents pay for the sessions.
Karen, who wishes her last name not be used, and other adoptive parents across the state are going to Columbus today to protest the proposed cuts and raise awareness about the problems adoptive parents face.
The cuts include the elimination of the PASSS (Post Adoption Special Services Subsidy), which helps parents pay for counseling services and other help to offset the expense of caring for foster and adopted children, who often suffer from emotional problems and may have been abused.
This effort comes as state legislators try to trim more than $2 billion from the budget. On Monday, the state Senate passed a second one-week budget as negotiations continue between Republican legislators and Democratic Gov. Ted Strickland.
No matter their age at adoption, children often need specialized counseling to properly bond with their new families and to learn how to express the feelings of grief and loss they often feel from losing their birth parents, Karen said.
Although Karen adopted her daughters, who are now 11 and 13, as toddlers, she said she started seeing some "red flags†a couple of years ago.
Both girls attend counseling sessions at the Attachment and Bonding Center, a clinic in North Royalton that specializes in treating the unique problems adopted children may face.
A couple of years ago, Karen's older daughter began acting out against her and started stealing.
"The services helped her tremendously,†Karen said. "It helped her get in touch with her grief.â€
While her older daughter has made a lot of progress, her younger daughter is just starting to go to counseling and Karen is worried she will not be able to continue the sessions since they would cost thousands of dollars without the subsidy she receives.
"My second daughter has a long way to go,†she said.
Unlike other types of counseling, parents sit in on all sessions and the counselor interacts with the parents and child, Karen said.
While Karen's daughters did not need counseling until they were older, Jeff, who wishes his last name not be used, needed the services as soon as his family adopted a 6-year-old girl in a "replacement adoption†four years ago.
Before coming to Jeff's Medina County home, the girl, who came from an overseas orphanage, was placed with a family who gave her back after several months.
After she was adopted, she attended counseling sessions with her new family to help her bond with them. She also has a younger brother, who was adopted at birth.
Without the subsidy, the counseling sessions would have cost Jeff's family around $20,000 in the first year alone. He said his family must pay about 20 percent of the costs.
Jeff's daughter still attends counseling sessions on a regular basis and she has made considerable progress within the last year. When she first arrived, he said she would act out constantly and made threats to hurt family members.
"We're now through the thickest part of the woods,†Jeff said.
He said he is especially concerned children who do not receive this specialized treatment will not be able to remain in a family and will be unable to form meaningful relationships with others.
"These are kids that are going to be a major problem for the state if these problems aren't fixed now,†he said.
The high costs also could discourage some families from adopting altogether.
"A lot of the time, adoptive parents are tapped out,†Jeff said, because it costs thousands of dollars and there is a long process families must go through before a child even arrives.

With closing time for the Save Doctor Who Confidential petition coming up, we caught up with the person behind the campaign to discuss it and more...
What were your reasons behind the campaign?
My heart sank when I heard the news and not many shows that get axed have that effect on me like DWC did. I was actually surprised at how much I cared about the show. You don't know what you got till it's gone I guess. You just realise the good things it did and how sad it is to take it away from people. ALOT of people on Twitter we're complaining about the cancellation of the show on Twitter so something had to be done to amplify that annoyance, these people pay for a television licence and they have had a great show taken away from them so something needed to be done. Having seen the Script to Screen clip [below] I realised how terrible it actually was to cancel such a great show, a show like this reaching out to kids are very hard to come by. I just wish I had this show when I was a kid, I think I would have changed my view on television.
How have you found the support so far? Has anything shocked you?
Everyday I'm surprised at the amount of support and the amount of media coverage and the fact that Steven Moffat agrees really makes me happy. What Steven said in Doctor Who Magazine really answers your first question, he's hit the nail on the head.
Out of all the 'behind the scenes' counterparts the BBC have created (Heroes Unmasked, Torchwood Declassified etc.), Doctor Who Confidential remains the most successful. Why do you think that is?
Well, Doctor Who Confidential has helped new Doctor Who fans out with understanding the show; most New Who fans I know told me that DWC helped them understand what all the fuss was about. It's also helped a lot of people decide what they want to do at college. Not many shows have an influence like this on people, it's so much more than being just about Doctor Who it's grown and developed into so much more than that and that is why it has lasted until now. But Confidential was evolving into interesting areas and reaching out to schools with the Script to Screen competition. Not many shows can say they do the same or care about people the way confidential have. This is the kind of shows that we should have on our TV screens: informative and entertaining.
If Doctor Who Confidential came back on another platform (e.g. the website only), would that suffice?
It would be great if it came back on website only, however, not everybody has the internet. A lot of people in rural areas would still lose the show so I can't help but feel it should still be on TV as it deserves that platform. I personally feel, the Red Button could be a possibility. So after Doctor Who you could press your red button and access the show that way.
And finally, out of the 80+ episodes and 6 series of DWC, what have been your favourite moments?
My favourite moments... David Tennant's Farewell, the introduction of the Eleventh Doctor, the story of River Song and finally the Script to Screen.
So many people say to us that they use Confidential to keep up if they have missed any episodes, so to lose that for those casual viewers will be concerning to me for one.
Don't forget, you can sign the petition here and follow Save DWC here.

Earth balance Of the ever-progressive and vegan-friendly Boulder, Colorado (rated amongst the top 10 most vegan-friendly states in the U.S); there cannot be enough said about the goodness found within these four walls. As per usual, I've categorized it into how they are good for you, for animals and for the earth – and, as how it works in the natural and true way of life – they all blend in together. For You Earth Balance is 100% plant-based, all and only natural and organic, and completely vegan. They are also no bars held committed to non-GMO (and are verified thus). As well, they are gluten-free, have 0g of trans fat, and are rich with Omega-3s and energy-packed soy protein, (always a great term; makes me think of the image of hiking and your backpack is full of goodness to help you on your trek – metaphor alert!). For the Animals They are committed in their values to help make the world a better place than when they left it. One example of this is their partnering (fiscally and through on-the-ground efforts) with the non-governmental and non-profit organization 'Orangutan Foundation International'; an organization, which rescues and rehabilitates orangutans in their dedication to the conservation of wild orangutans and their rainforest habitat; both of which are in great peril due to the harvesting of palm oil. Which leads me into another example of their admirable values… For the Earth Although Earth Balance only using about 0.05% palm oil, thy are a dedicated supporter of the Roundtable on Sustainable Palm Oil, (RSPO). They are fully committed to using only palm fruit oil which has been harvested from sustainable sources in a way that is both environmentally and socially responsible – this includes ensuring that all of their suppliers are members of RSPO and that their palm is only sourced from existing palm plantations (Earth Balance only uses plantations in Brazil and Malaysia where Orangutans are not native); if a supplier fails to comply with RSPO policies, they will no longer be in partnership with Earth Balance. That's not all; they purchase GreenPalm Certificates "in order to further fund and enable the growth and expansion of sustainable palm; the money paid for the certificate goes directly to improving the infrastructure and practices behind sustainable palm in the hopes of creating a sustainable supply". Offers: buttery spreads, shortenings, nut butters, soymilk, coconut spread and MindfulMayo™ (their own delectable creation), dressing and sandwich spreads. What a breath of fresh air – a company that puts the importance of the earth higher than that of money; they do it with grace and class and succeed magnanimously; leading a life of mutualism (rather than parasitism or even commensalism), leaving the world not with wounds it struggles to heal, but like that of spring; where new life and hope is breathed back into the land. They give those who share in the same ideals the opportunity to share in that lifestyle and with an ease when many struggle to implement it into their own lives - and hope for a future where generations to come may do the same and enjoy the same beautiful grace that surrounds us every day.

'The Voice' Season 3, 'Blind Auditions Continued': TV Recap
On tonight's episode of "The Voice," Blake Shelton was the weakest link in the coaches chair. After attempting to snag contestant-after-contestant, Shelton would fail to land a new team member on-air tonight.
At the start of the show, the judges were showing they are growing increasingly focused to picking a probable winner, and less interested in pure talent, which was evident in the four coaches decision to not select Trevanne. It's hard to sing a Whitney Houston song. She is "The Voice." But, how the judges did not hear the talent behind that vocal performance is beyond me.
But I'll move along.
Collin McLoughlin, a grad school dropout, received the attention of three coaches during a performance of "Wild World." Aguilera passed on the singer because the song was too mellow and, I have to admit, the performance could have used a little more emotion. In the end, Collin decided to take his rendition of the Cat Stevens song to Team Adam Levine.
Joselyn Rivera picked the wrong song for her voice but still managed to win over Aguilera and Shelton.
Benji was definitely a surprise. The voice did not fit the image on stage. He made the right decision by choosing the coach that turned around first: Adam.
Todd Kessler, Ben Taub and Emily Earle are on Team CeeLo. Since they weren't worth a full two minute performance on the show, I hesitate to think they were worth that much.
When 52 year old Lorraine Ferro hit the stage, it was unclear what we could get. She was surprisingly good. There's one thing about a seasoned singer that I always love and that's the time and effort they put into learning the power of control. Apparently, the judges disagreed with me because they complained about the control and none of them picked her. Her gritty version of "Skyscraper" was better than the original performed by Demi Lovato.
Mycle Wastman's performance of "Let's Stay Together" made me understand why he's engaged. I'd date him if he just sang the chorus on repeat. The soul singer surprisingly choose CeeLo, who sold himself as the best contemporary soul singer. I don't know about that CeeLo.
CeeLo and Adam ended the night with 11 vocalists to coach. Christina ended the evening with 10. And, Blake closed out the night with 7 contestants to coach.

What Affluent Investors Fear
By Julie Steinberg
Welcome to the "new normal." Nearly half of Americans with more than $250,000 in assets believe the prolonged economic uncertainty is a new reality they have to adjust to, and 94% of them believe they're better prepared today to cope with that uncertainty, according to a new survey.
Nearly 60% of respondents to the Merrill Lynch Affluent Insights Survey, which was released last week, believe they have a greater sense of stability with their finances than they did a year ago. The survey was conducted by phone in August and asked 1,000 affluent Americans about their economic outlook.
"People think the uncertain economic reality is going to be with us for a while, and they're adjusting to that," says John Thiel, head of U.S. wealth management and the private banking and investment group at Merrill Lynch Global Wealth Management. "They're beginning to adapt to the reality of what's happened since 2008."
Thiel says that even though "it doesn't feel like it," investors' 401(k)s and individual retirement accounts are probably back to where they were a few years ago.
The survey found that 30% of respondents said they were optimistic about their financial situation for the year ahead, while 45% feel "hopeful."
When it comes to issues the affluent are most worried about, health care dominates the list. Seventy-seven percent of respondents are highly concerned about this area. Among respondents over age 65, this figure increased to 83%.
"The financial advisers are taking this very seriously," Thiel says, "and trying to solve for those issues by looking into nontraditional investment vehicles like long-term-care insurance."
Retirement was the second most worrisome concern, according to the survey, as baby boomers try to figure out how to ensure a comfortable retirement and still be able to care for their adult children.
"This group is going to take care of their kids," Thiel says. "It's a continuation of the parental style and approach that's characterized my generation."
The survey found that nearly half of parents supporting adult-age children are willing to do so for "as long as they need." Still, only 38% of parents paid for or plan to pay for all of their child's college education, a decrease from 48% a year ago.
Thiel said the number has decreased because today there is more institutional support available for college, and parents want their children to take college more seriously by having "their own skin in the game." It's not a financial decision, says Thiel, but rather a hope on behalf of parents that their kids realize the burden of education and try harder to succeed in college.
The survey found that respondents in the 18-to-34-year-old group are tending to take more risky financial bets. Only 23% said they were conservative in their investment decisions, down from 42% in July and 52% two years ago.
"Gen X investors are thought to be the lost generation of equity investors, but this is the first piece of data that shows they aren't," Thiel says.

BostonInno.com writer Walter Frick reflects on Energy Night held at the MIT Museum on October 19th, 2012.
"In a profile last week of energy efficiency startup Next Step Living, I wrote about a victory of execution over new technology or intellectual property. Cleantech badly needs more winners in that vein. But it needs new technology breakthroughs, too, especially in areas like energy storage. And those who had the chance to attend MIT's annual Energy Night on Friday got a look at the cutting edge of energy technology research, hosted at the MIT Museum.
The event featured over 70 research posters by MIT students and faculty—as well as a few startups—across a wide range of technologies, from building systems and energy efficiency to biofuels and nuclear."

College Hockey:Guentzel Leaves CC for USHL Head Coaching Position
Assistant coach Mike Guentzel has left Colorado College to take the head coaching position with the Des Moines Buccaneers of the USHL.
It's Guentzel's third time heading a USHL team — he led the St. Paul Vulcans from 1989 to 1992 and the Omaha Lancers from 1992 to 1994. He then was an assistant coach at Minnesota for 14 seasons before spending last season at Colorado College.
"I really appreciate everything Mike did for our program and our team last
season," Tigers coach Scott Owens said. "He's an excellent coach and a great hockey person. I wish him well in Des Moines."

I'm sure we've all seen images such as the following, from wikipedia: link. They give us some nice intuition on what the sine and cosine functions are. Some people may also have seen images such as this one, or even this one, where instead of a circle, we take the 'sine of an arbitrary shape,' hence the title of this question. I'll say that the shape generates a periodic function in this way.
I now have a couple questions:
- Given a periodic function, is there always a shape that generates that function as in the second image (with the period adjusted as necessary, of course)?
- Are such shapes necessarily unique for a given periodic function (provided they exist)?
- In particular, what are the shapes (if any) that generate triangle, square, and sawtooth waves?
Also, if this is something that has been studied in detail, please enlighten me as to the terminology that people might use in this context.

IN KY? When and where was this?Quote:
I was then required to take a driving safety class.
Driving is not a Constitutional RIGHT either also what costs were associated with the driving test and what does it cost total to get a CCW in KY?
Like I said training IS a good idea, REQUIRING it even at the risk of the lady who has an EPO (or whatever ) who becomes a victim while waiting for the requirements is not acceptable. (IMO) I believe many of us men figure we can "handle things" most times even IF we can't be armed at all times, even IF that were true, you have to remember there are folks who are not young strong men, who may have had open heart surgery ,(or whatever) or any number of other things making waiting literally risking their lives. I happen to believe there has to be a MUCH better way and system.
I sure wouldn't want to be the one advocating no changes and find out Mr. /Mrs. "X" got killed because they couldn't legally carry and were therefor no longer around- to me that infringes on and totally negates a RIGHT to "keep and bear arms" in every possible sense

Prototype Review
Entertaining and frantic combat with a selection of varied powers in a balanced environment.
In Prototype you play as Alex Mercer, a man who has been infected by a virus strain giving him a series of unbelievable powers and abilities. As you progress through downtown New York you set out to uncover who did this to you. The game doesn't paint Alex Mercer as much of a good guy; he can freely attack civilians who are escaping from the carnage. Prototype is all about fast, adaptive and hectic combat. The action very quickly escalades when you begin any battle as strike teams are called in and mutants pop out of buildings or water tanks. Prototype is a sandbox game in which you are free to engage battles wherever and whenever you wish, and should you desire you can run away and hide. Throughout the game Alex will gain more powers increasing in strength giving you more reason to fight on. Alex's powers are varied and useful and the missions that form the story are respectable without being outstanding. Prototype rewards the player in combat with Evolution Points (EP), these allow you to buy upgrades for Alex, which provides a steady increase in the abilities matched with the game's difficulty as you progress.
Even though Alex is an overpowered tool of destruction he can be overwhelmed by sheer numbers, when tanks, apcs, helicopters, and infantry are attacking you while you take on a group of infected mutants things can get very hectic and you get knocked around resulting in more damage. To get health all you need to do is destroy big targets or consume individuals, both are risky propositions but if you have a little bit of health before recharging you'll be able to constantly manage most battles. If you are a big damage dealer then constantly taking out gunships and picking up the glowing orbs for health and EP will be part of your engagements anyway. There is however no reason why you can't just peel off from the combat mid-mission all together. In some situations it might be best to just run and hide then come back and attack your targets with full health without strike teams adding fuel to the fire. Hiding is as easy as moving out of sight and changing to your alternate disguise. Once you are safe you can move across a few street blocks, regain health, hijack an APC and move back into the battle. There are some missions that are timed, which can often spell disaster since these tactics can't be used, you must be efficient with all your attacks. The final few missions seem to be quite difficult either due to their length or enemy strength. One particular required constant use of air vehicles the other some rather cheap tactics to get the AI trapped.
Alex's powers range from heavy fists, claws, shields and a big sword arm. At any time you can engage an offensive power with a defensive power with a simple menu that slows time. Some seem more useful for certain tasks during battles. Muscle strength is great for throwing objects at airborne targets due to increase range and speed. Claws are good against infantry early on in either melee or with the groundspike that sends spikes out from below to the targeted foes. If you prefer certain powers you can use them for most situations but I certainly changed my powers fairly often partly because it was enjoyable and also because I found the differences just a little bit more helpful. You can pick up weapons such as machine guns and rocket launchers from infantry. These weapons can be useful early on when your powers are still limited. In particular the rocket launcher is very useful as Alex can be very mobile and all you need to do is lock onto targets and then fire away. Sometimes it can be a bit frustrating not only to see the weapons on the ground but pick them up while running about, you may get knocked around, but even if you don't it's still annoyingly difficulty when you are being attacked from every which way.
The game includes a "stealth" element, but this is really very limited. You have a disguised mode and this is the last form you consumed that's human. This may be a civilian or a military person, as a disguised military man you can freely enter bases but not the headquarters of that base until you consume the commander to get the access to keys. This stealth gameplay becomes incredibly easy once you acquire the ability to stealth consume, basically this just means walking up behind a soldier and consuming him without alerting nearby enemies. There is a line of sight restriction but it's very easily avoided as they usually go on patrols or you can just move them about. In the bases you can just whittle away at the soldiers who are blissfully unaware of your devious actions. As soon as you consume your important targets (for upgrades) you may then like to go on a killing spree. You can even accuse some poor sap of being you, resulting in their quick elimination by fellow soldiers. This stealth aspect makes military base infiltration incredibly easy although a bit arduous, the combat in the headquarters is fairly easy anyway. Stealth will also be used in many missions throughout the game, and it does serve to tone down the high paced action. One thing you may find slightly irritating is how rocket and infantry soldiers are spawned on roof tops mid battles hampering some hiding spots. As the game progresses this spawning gets more aggressive and slightly annoying especially during some missions.
Missions in Prototype are fairly good with a sufficient amount of variety and their length seems fine also. Many of them involve destroying targets in the midst of battles but there are a few different missions. One mission involved consuming a commander then working alongside the military in a tank to escort a vital vehicle. Another earlier mission required angering a large mutant infected to keep him focused on you while you lead him to a different location. Aside from the main series of missions the game features some fun diversions in the form of varied events. These are pretty straightforward and are fairly quick to complete therefore an easy way to get additional EP to spend on upgrades to make missions easier. The events vary from rooftop races, destroying military targets or working with the military against mutants. You get medals for your participation and these events can be repeated if you enjoy them or want to go ahead and try for a better time or kill count. I didn't find myself repeating many events and focused mostly on the story anyway. If I was on my way to acquire a mission and an event was close by I usually went to try it out. There are many hours worth of action if you just go through these events excluding the fairly long single player. This means is that there is enough to do, even if you get stuck on a mission you might still enjoy causing havoc early on or doing an event you've not tried. The game does not allow mid mission saves, if you quit during a mission you will need to start that mission from scratch. It's worth completing the missions once started due to generous checkpoint system. While the missions are satisfactory it's really the powers that make the action work.

Hi Experts,
What is the difference between tables which are at client level and which are at compny code level.
How client is different from company code ? some examples please .
Can you be more specific.
You are talking about the client in the system or Vendor.
If it is Client(Vendor),they can have any number of company codes depending on the business requirement and locations.
If it is Client(System),in the Development Client we have minimum data where as in Quality and Production we will have the actual data.
I was talking about development client like (801...) . .. I m confused how we differentiate data and table at client and at company code level...at client level we have MANDT field but what about tables at company code level...
I am literally confused between these two.
Hi Pranshu,
Client is basically used for IT implementation.
Whereas a company code can be understood in terms of business process.
A client is used for isolation of data, i.e., a client can data that cannot be shared with other clients.
And a client can have more than one company code in it.
Now, talking about the tables.
In a SAP instance, there maybe more than one client, and the data is stored in such a way, that within that instance, the tables have a field MANDT that differentiates the various clients` data.
While if you talk about the company code specific data, it deals with a single company code.
CLient is at top of organizational chart in SAP.
When you login to SAP you have to mention a specific client. This is more like server space.
WHitin a client you define different company codes per your requirement.
There are some configuration which are client specific (e.g. currency rates, translations, etc) and some are company code specific (Global parameters, etc). Now when i say company code specific, it would still have client field, as all the settings are withing cleitn. e.g. check table T001 for CO code definition or table BKPF for accounting document header. these are company code specific tables and still have cleint (MANDT field)
Hence any table with MANDT (Client) and BUKRS (CO code) as primary keys are company code specific tables while any table with only MANDT as primary key is client specific.
Hope this helps,

You would think this is a no-brainer question, right? Our legs carry us everywhere. They help us lift items. They help us when we need to get down to a child's level. They help you when the car breaks down and your cell phone is out of juice and you need to start walking to the nearest point of civilization. If you cannot get up from a seated position (from a chair or sofa) without hanging onto something or pushing something to propel you up, then you probably are not getting enough exercise that works your major muscle groups or you are carrying too much weight. Your range of motion, not to mention your endurance, can be severely limited when your leg muscles do not get enough exercise.
What are those muscles, many of which come with funny names?
1. GLUTES: While not officially part of the leg, most of us think the glutes are part of the leg, and for that reason they are listed here. The glutes, short for the gluteus maximus muscles, make up most of our hip. Without a strong gluteus maximus, you have problems getting up and lifting heavy things. Having problems getting up stairs? You might have weak glutes. Can't even touch your toes when seated on the floor? Weak glutes could be the problem. Exercises to strengthen these muscles include lunges, squats, and stair climbing.
2. ADDUCTORS: Your inner thigh muscles are the adductors, and actually include seven muscles. You probably know them by their more common label, the hamstrings. Want to test how strong yours are? Just squeeze a pencil between your knees to feel these muscles at work. Want to see just how flexible yours are, too? Just reach down to touch your toes, keeping your legs straight. Can't do that? Various weight machines help keep these muscles in good working condition. Check with your gym's trainer on the proper use of such equipment. Stretching them at the end of a workout is important, too. Stretching includes a static lunge.
3. QUADS: The quadriceps are pretty well known, and these are the muscles at the front of your thigh. Whenever you walk or stretch, you are using these muscles to extend your knees. If these muscles are weak, you will have a hard time getting up from a seated position or even just plain walking. Obesity can prevent you from getting up in one motion, too. You can be sure that athletes who have lost a leg and are using a prosthesis have well-developed quads.
4. GASTROCNEMIUS & SOLEUS: Your upper calf contains two muscles, the gastrocnemius and the soleus. They also help when it comes to getting up without getting a boost from something else. Keeping these muscles in shape can also help with reducing leg cramps.
BOTTOM LINE: If you don't go to a gym or you are stretched for time, the easiest way to work your leg muscles is to WALK. Start slowly for a warm-up and slow down for the cool down. If you sit all day, take a short break and raise your legs while seated in a repetitive movement. It is important to keep these muscles in good shape through walking and exercise. Doing so allows them to take in fluids to re-hydrate your body.
Drinking water is not enough—you have to prepare the connective tissue to take in fluids and hydrate if you plan to have any quality of life. You can do this with exercise and old-fashioned walking. Long-term lack of exercise could result in your having to use a cane or walker to get around. So, take care of those muscles!

Academic Program
Course of Study
This interdisciplinary course introduces students to Japanese religions and modern/popular cultures. It is designed for students interested in exploring diverse aspects of Japanese culture, with particular emphasis on Buddhist and Shinto traditions, traditional and contemporary Japanese popular culture, and points of their intersection.
The course consists of intensive pre-trip orientation and hands-on study in Japan. Prior to the trip, the instructors will offer theoretical outlines of the respective fields and provide students with a survey of Japanese history and culture, focusing especially on different forms of Japanese religions in traditional and modern contexts, traditional and contemporary Japanese popular culture.
During the sojourn in Japan, students will stay in a variety of accommodations, such as Buddhist temples and capsule hotels, and will be exposed to realities of religious and cultural practices in the country. We will explore these elements through the first hand exposure to the kaleidoscopic daily life in contemporary Japan. We will visit monasteries, castles, Zen gardens, shrines, traditional theater, and anime/manga museums—all the while interacting with local Japanese people on a daily basis.
By the end of the program, students are expected to understand the interplay of diverse religious and cultural phenomena in contemporary Japan. The final assessment of students' learning will be based on a 10-page essay, along with a portfolio which includes diary entries based on observations and reflections on each site and venue.

My laundry room floor is concrete ( 11 x 15 ) with a drain and has giprock on the walls. Half of it is below ground and half is above ground. On the other side of the basement is a finished recreation room with carpet, dry wallwall and finished ceiling. and a finished space under the stairs. The problem I have is there are sow bugs in this basement. I spray and they die and then come back again. Sow bugs are a sluggish grey fat bug that you find in damp. My basement isn't damp. The carpet is dry, the walls are dry and I've checked the laundry room for leaks around the perimeter and they still keep coming. Would like to resolve this problem once and for all. Anyone with any suggestions would be appreciated.
I found this article to be interesting.....
Sow bugs live in the layer between the ground and the grass blades called the "thatch". Thatch consists of dead grass, leaves and whatnot that's in the process of rotting and becoming "soil". The sow bugs in your basement are really just bugs that have gotten lost searching for food.
Two ideas:
You say you have a laundry room with a floor drain. Unless you have a sump pit located somewhere else in your basement, that laundry room floor drain is also a "CATCH BASIN".
A catch basin is similar to a sump pit in that water that accumulates in the weeping tiles around the perimeter of your house's basement wall footing flows into the catch basin instead of a sump pit. Where I live, the plumbing code requires there to be a p-trap at the bottom of the catch basin, and that p-trap then connects to the main drain line (carrying sewage and other waste water) from the house to the city sewer buried 10 to 16 feet under the middle of the street you live on.
My guess would be that the sow bugs you're seeing in your basement are crawling down the outside of your houses basement walls, getting into the weeping tiles (cuz the weeping tiles are buried in stones so that water can flow into the weeping tiles easily, and then from your weeping tiles to your laundry room's catch basin. If you have a steel cover for that catch basin (floor drain), then I'd put a piece of window screen under it, and then stomp down on that cover to hold the screen tightly in place, and see if the problem stops.
PS: You don't need to know this, but the reason why they typically located the catch basin in the laundry room is so that the stand pipe the washing machine pumps water into can be connected directly to the side of the catch basin just like the weeping tiles. That way, during a drought, you refill the p-trap at the bottom of the catch basin every time you do your laundry. That prevents the p-trap from drying out and awful smelling air from the city sewer system wafting into your house from the catch basin.
Now, I own a small apartment block, and I had no end of problems with sow bugs crawling into my basement level apartments on the north west side of the building, where it's always in the shade, and the ground is always damp or moist. What I noticed was that the ONLY thing that will grow under a coniferous tree (Pine, Spruce, Fir) will be weeds that will grow under the harshest conditions. What happens is that trees with needles instead of leaves have developed a defence mechanism against faster growing plants that would shade them from the Sun. Coniferous trees will drop needles as they grow, and as those needles rot in the ground around the tree, they change the ground so that other plants don't do well in that ground. That ensures that the pine, fir or spruce tree gets an area to grow in that isn't shaded by a faster growing tree.
And, I realized that if plants don't want to live in the ground under a pine tree, bugs prolly wouldn't want to either. So, after Christmas one year, I liberated a fair number of discarded Christmas trees, cut their branches off and laid a bed of pine tree branches all along the north west side of my building. In the spring, the branches were so dry that even walking over them caused all of the remaining needles to fall off, and I collected what was left of the branches and filed them in my dumpster. Since then, I've not had any more problems with sow bugs. The rotting pine needles changed the nature of the ground so that neither weeds nor bugs want to live in that ground. I have landscaping bark along that side of my building now.
It is quite amazing information. Thanks for sharing this excellent post. I would like to visit again. Thanks for the compliment.
I'm very impressed there Nestor- you know when your a landlord, you have
to be "creative", otherwise you'll go broke hiring so called experts, and
usually still have to solve these problems yourself. I have sowbugs in a
property I have and will do this. I was smiling as I was reading your post
as I "know" it will work. I just have to walk outside and look how barren
the ground is under the Spruce tree. You know nature is a powerful thing
and also has posions like cyanide, and arsenic, in some nuts etc, that trees
bear to discourage rodents from eating them. ( arsenic can be found in apple
seeds) and cyanide in ( bitter almonds, and apricot pits). I hope your solution
will work for me. I have a building that's gorgeous, and have built the floors
up downstairs to prevent water leaking in thru old cracked walls.( like about
100 yrs old) The building is fine and I want to keep it, it's just when I build up
the floors, it traps water down underneath there. You have to concentrate on
" not allowing the sowbugs in" in the first place, and then it won't matter if
your basement is damp, as their means of access is thru the ground and then
thru a crack or whatever, to get in the house-- "great great post Nestor"
( a lot of people don't realize the real power of nature)
Bob- in Winnipeg,Canada
Just a note I thought readers would be interested in. I noticed a lot
of articles that "bedbugs" are making an active comeback in North
America-- and their not a fun problem. The reason is that they banned
the use of DDT, which was primarily used to wipe them out. My friend
has them in his apartment, and they get on his pillow, and everywhere.
They can bite and leave welts, as I've done my research. They are almost
invisible, and are very small, so you can hardly see them. They live on
blood, just like moquitoes. They try to get rid of them by spraying etc, and
really to no avail. They hide in bedboards, picture frames,seams etc.
A very interesting guy, here in my city-- in Winnipeg, Manitoba ( Canada)
has the "right idea" He basically "roasts them to death"-- he calls it
baking the suite. He has a big truck and giants fans and heaters set up
in it, and blows hot air into the suite til it reaches 135- 150 degrees
Farenheit, as that's the temperature at which they die, and apparently
it works great-- does a "total kill". If anyone wants me to post more info
on this subject, just reply to my post, and I'll do just that. ( sleep well)
