Theodore Dreiser · 2003
By Ray E. Boombower
During the Christmas season of 1891, a young man from Indiana working as a bill collector for a Chicago installment-plan firm decided to seek employment as a reporter, conceiving of newspapers "as wonderlands n which all concerned were prosperous and happy," and seeking inspiration for his career change from the writings of Chicago Daily News columnist Eugene Fields. Scanning the help wanted advertisements in the Chicago Herald, the Hoosier spied a listing asking for a "number of bright young men" to assist in the newspaper's business department during the holidays to distribute gifts to needy children. Hoping that the position might be an entrée into journalism, Theodore Dreiser jumped at the chance to work for the newspaper.
Although this initial step into journalism failed to lead to a reporting job with the Chicago Herald, Dreiser, then twenty-one years old, remained determined to "shake off the garments of the commonplace in which I seemed swathed and step forth into the public arena, where I could be seen and understood for what I was." To achieve this goal, he saw connecting himself with a newspaper to be "the swiftest" route to fulfilling his dreams. Eventually, Dreiser obtained work as a reporter with the Chicago Daily Globe, which, in turn, led to jobs with newspapers in St. Louis, Toledo, Cleveland, Buffalo, Pittsburgh, and New Your, and work as an editor and freelance writer on a number of national magazines of the day.
Born on Aug. 27, 1871, in Terre Haute, Ind., Theodore Dreiser was the ninth of 10 surviving children of Johann Paul and Sarah Schänäb Dreiser. A weaver and woolen worker, Johann Paul Dreiser had emigrated from Mayen, Germany, in 1844. Raised in Dayton, Ohio, Sarah Schänäb eloped to marry Johann in 1851 (her Protestant Mennonite family had strong objections to her husband's Roman Catholicism). Before the move to Terre Haute, the Dreiser family had enjoyed some financial success in the wool business in Sullivan, Indiana, where Johann worked as a foreman at the Sullivan Woolen Mills. After an 1866 fire destroyed the mill, Johann was seriously injured by falling timber during construction of an new mill. The injury, coupled with an economic depression in America in the 1870's resulted in long stretches of poverty for the Dreiser family. Theodore Dreiser remembered his early years as "one unbroken stretch of privation and misery."
Through the years, the Dreiser family lived in a succession of Indiana towns, with Johann and Sarah even dividing the children between them and living in separate communities. Living in Warsaw, Indiana, Theodore Dreiser attended high school and won the favor of a teacher, Mildred Fielding, who encouraged his fascination with books and writing. Faced with poverty, Dreiser left Warsaw at age sixteen for Chicago, where he found work in a variety of low-paying jobs. His former teacher Fielding, who taught in a nearby suburb, found Dreiser and offered to pay for his education at Indiana University in Bloomington. Dreiser enrolled at IU in the fall of 1889, but only stayed a year, later claiming that the institution's "technical education value to me was zero."
He returned to Chicago and worked driving a delivery wagon for a laundry at $8 a week and served as a bill collector before deciding he wanted to become a reporter. After his initial attempt at employment with the Chicago Herald failed, Dreiser began to haunt the various offices of the city's newspapers seeking employment. "Picture a dreamy cub of twenty-one, long, spindling," Dreiser wrote in his book Newspaper days, "a pair of gold-framed spectacles on his nose, his hair combed à la pompadour, an new spring suit consisting of light check trousers and bright blue coat and vest, a brown fedora hat, new yellow shoes, starting out to force his way into the newspaper world of Chicago."
Luckily for Dreiser, John Maxwell, a copyreader for the Chicago Daily Globe, gave the young writer a chance, making him one of the extra correspondents the paper used to cover the 1892 Democratic National Convention. Dreiser's perseverance paid off with a full-time job with the newspaper following the convention. The change from working as a bill collector to becoming a reporter "was one of the most delightful that ever befell me," said Dreiser, predicting that he new career would lead him "to great heights."
Although he had at first anticipated "comfortable salaries" for his work, Dreiser learned that beginners "were very badly served" when it came to wages. Still, his early promise as a journalist – especially his colorful feature writing for the paper's Sunday supplement on such subjects as the city's slum dweller – caught the attention of the newspaper's editors. "maybe you're cut out to be a writer after all, not just an ordinary newspaper man," Maxwell told Dreiser, who began to write poetry, plays, and fiction in his spare time. Another Daily Globe employee, city editor John T. McEnnis, urged Dreiser to seek advancement at a better newspaper. McEnnis recommended Dreiser to the St. Louis Globe-Democrat, and in late October 1892 he left Chicago for St. Louis.
During his time at the Globe-Democrat, Dreiser continued to report on regular news stories but also branched out into writing a column of hotel news titles "Heard in the Corridors," which sometimes included fictionalized accounts.
One of the copy editors on the newspaper remembered Dreiser as "a splendid writer" – in fact, better as a writer than as a reporter ferreting out the news. "He had an inventive fictional mind," the copy editor, Captain Webb, said. During his years struggling with poverty and reporting on those with less means than their fellow men, Dreiser had learned some hard truths: "All men were honest – only they weren't; all women were virtuous and without evil intent or design – but they weren't; all mothers were gentle, self-sacrificing slaves, sweet pictures for song and Sunday Schools – only they weren't; all fathers were kind, affectionate, saving, industrious – only they weren't. But when deciding actual facts fort he news columns, you were not allowed to indicate these things."
A visit from his successful actor/songwriter brother Paul Dreiser soon had Dreiser thinking of moving to New York. Leaving St. Louis, Dreiser worked his way across the country at various newspapers from Toledo to Pittsburgh. In Toledo, he made friends with Toledo Blade editor Arthur Henry, who later encouraged Dreiser to write his first novel, Sister Carrie. Covering a streetcar strike while in Toledo, Dreiser found his sympathies lay with the workers. "I had seen enough of strikes, and of poverty, and the quarrels between the money-lords and the poor, to be all on one side." He later used his experience reporting on the strike for Sister Carrie.
Arriving in New York, Dreiser found work with Joseph Pulitzer's New York World, but discovered he was to be paid by the amount of copy he produces. Wandering through the city's numerous boroughs on assignment, Dreiser observed that everywhere there seemed to be "a terrifying desire for lust or pleasure or wealth, accompanied by a heartlessness which was freezing to the soul, or dogged resignation to deprivation and miser." Although he wished to abandon journalism for the life of a writer, Dreiser still needed a dependable salary. His brother's connection to the Howley, Haviland and Company music publishers helped Dreiser earn a job as editor of the firm's monthly magazine called Ev'ry Month. In addition to featuring the company's songs, the periodical also featured short stories and articles furnished by Dreiser and various freelance writers. While working on Ev'ry Month Dreiser collaborated with his brother on Paul Dresser's most famous work, the song "on the Banks of the Wabash, Far Away."
One of the contributors Dreiser used for Ev'ry Month was his old friend Arthur Henry of Toledo, who continued to pester Dreiser about writing a novel. Visiting Henry in Ohio in the summer of 1899, Dreiser, urged on by Henry, produced a number of successful short stories. Henry also prodded his friend to begin writing a novel. "He began to ding-dong about a novel," Dreiser recalled. "I must write a novel. I must write a novel." Perhaps to silence Henry's urgent appeals, Dreiser took pen to paper in September 1899 and wrote a title for the projected work: Sister Carrie.
Although it was through his work as a novelist that Dreiser achieved fame with such controversial, realistic fiction through the years as Sister Carrie, Jennie Gerhardt, The Financier, The Titan, and An American Tragedy, his journalism career proved to be crucial for his writing. Reflecting on the time as a reporter for an interview in 1911 following the publication of Jennie Gerhardt, Dreiser indicated that his work on newspapers furnished him with a keen "insight into the brutalities of life – the police courts, the jails, the houses of ill repute, trade failures and trickery." He added that the seamy surroundings were not depressing, but wonderful. "It was like a grand magnificent spectacle," Dreiser told the reporter.

JWC TO MARIANNE HUNT; 28 February 1832; DOI: 10.1215/lt-18320200-JWC-MH-01; CL 6:137.
[Late February or early March 1832?]
My dear Mrs Hunt
I return your Esher1 with many thanks; and may I tell you, I like it dearly! I like it for the great purity and tenderness of the serious parts,—for the sweet grace that is over the whole; I like it because it is the same as Mr Hunt talking to us, and because it falls in with my own sentiments about many things, and gives me a surer and more affectionate hold of them.
You will not include this among those "compliments on your Husbands talents" for which you express such mortal aversion (justly, for nothing can be more nauseous) But if I like the book and the writer of it (and I do, with my whole heart) and if I feel pleasure in saying I like them (and that I do also) I may say it, may I not, with impunity?— At all rates I am not afraid of consequences
Affectionately yours /
Jane W Carlyle

The BA fencing team was well represented at the Nov. 17 Catholic Memorial Invitational in Waukesha. Ten fencers competed in men's and women's foil and épée against teams from all over the Midwest.
Junior Saify Sobhani finished 24th out of 64 in men's épée, and sophomore Charlene Dysktra finished 27th out of 49 in women's foil. In women's épée, sophomore Jemma Kloss finished 21st out of 39.
This was the first meet of the season for many of the BA fencers including freshmen Nico Konitch and Megan Kratoska, who competed in men's and women's foil, respectively.
The Blue Knight fencers had their first taste of team fencing at New Trier High School in Winnetka, Ill., on Saturday. The women's foil team got off to a good start with a comfortable 10-6 win over Marion Catholic of Chicago. They fought to an 8-8 tie in bouts with Deerfield only to lose 59-57. Indiana's Culver Military Academy steamrollered over them 15-1 before they bounced back and defeated New Trier 12-4. They finished with a 10-6 loss to University Lab School of Chicago.
All the girls won multiple bouts, with sophomore Emily Bannister leading with a 13-7 record.
The men's épée team had a tougher time against some strong opposition, and with two of its team new to the weapon. They fought hard, led by Saify Sobhani, and raised eyebrows with some surprising upsets, particularly by new team member sophomore Jack Hughes.
The next meet is at Maine West High School in Des Plaines, Ill., on Dec. 8.

Boys basketball
The BA boys blew away two foes last week, beating Wayland Academy, 90-41, on Nov. 29 and Christian Heritage, 85-36, on Saturday.
The dynamic duo of Sean Clarey (62 points) and Domonique Criss (46) combined for 108 points in the two games to lead the way.
The Blue Knights led 32-18 and then it got ugly, as they outscored Wayland in the second half 58-23. Clarey had 33 points, including seven threes, and Criss added 24, going 7-for-10 from the free throw line.
In Saturday's win, it was 46-20 at halftime before BA went out and had a 29-9 third quarter. Clarey had 29 points with seven threes and Criss added 22, 6-of-7 from the line.
They host St. John's NW Military Academy on Dec. 7 and travel to Hope Christian on Dec. 11.
Girls basketball
The BA girls split two games, beating Messmer, 43-33, on Nov. 27 and losing, 71-35, to Heritage Christian on Friday, both games on the road.
Trailing 18-14 at half against Messmer, the Blue Knights went on a 29-15 second-half tear to win going away. Kourtney Krohn had 13 points and Josie Francisc had 11.
In the loss to HC, they were buried 38-12 at intermission as Krohn led the way with 14 points.
Saint Joan Antida will play at Brookfield Academy at 7:30 p.m. Dec. 8.

Jean Klein: Rare Transmission of the Flame
Dialogues between Jean Klein and his students and friends, during seminars in the United States and Europe, form the text of this illuminating book.
In many different settings and circumstances, Jean Klein casts and re-casts the teaching of Advaita, addressing each individual in his or her own uniqueness, while at the same time demonstrating the Oneness of being. These far-reaching exchanges – exploring almost every aspect of self-knowledge – show that it is only through living fully in "not knowing" that we can awaken to our real nature: the "I AM" of pure Consciousness.
In addition, Jean Klein discusses, for the first time, his early life, his meetings with his teacher in India, and the moment of his awakening. The result is an inspiring prologue that not only gives us an intimate look at this remarkable teacher and the discoveries he made in his search for truth, but also makes clear the immediate accessibility of these discoveries to every earnest seeker.

Well, it's not quite the bear hugging the state of California on the cover of Best Coast's The Only Place, but it's certainly a lot better than what we originally believed to be the cover image for Bruno Mars' Unorthodox Jukebox—that boring promo shot of him that said nothing about the new album and showed no personality whatsoever. Now, we have a gorilla hugging (or at least manhandling) a jukebox:
Seems about right to us—playful, off-beat, and preoccupied with primates. There's also a song called "Gorilla." Check the full tracklist:
1. "Young Girls"
2. "Locked Out of Heaven"
3. "Gorilla"
4. "Treasure"
5. "Moonshine"
6. "When I Was Your Man"
7. "Natalie"
8. "Show Me"
9. "Money Make Her Smile"
10. "If I Knew"
Nothing too interesting there, though we're surprised at the lack of listed features, and that in this day of iTunes downloads and endless bonus tracks, the album's only ten songs long. Quality over quantity, that Bruno.

The Simple, Non-Technical Approach To SEO That Google Wished You Knew
Stand Out From Your Competition & Drive Targeted, Organic Search Traffic
I remember the morning we lost our #2 Google ranking very well. It was a balmy, warm morning in May. My good friend and colleague busted through the door to give me the bad news. This keyword accounted for 80% of our client's traffic roughly.
The problem? We had gone too far over optimizing the site for Google. We must've gotten one too many bad backlinks. We did something wrong because Google brought the kibash down, and they brought it down hard. We went from having a #2 ranking down to being on the 2nd page.
We couldn't believe our eyes. We didn't understand what happened. We were following all of the advice from the so called 'SEO experts' online. We went from doing serious sales to barely getting a trickle of sales now. It was very frustrating to say the least.
It was our fault though. We shouldn't have been so reliant on one traffic source, one keyword. That's just asking for trouble. I began reading even more about SEO than before, but I realized 2 things:
#1: SEO advice is largely speculative. Nobody can predict where they'll rank in Google tomorrow with 100% accuracy, even if they've had a particular ranking for years. You just never know when it can shuffle. Google giveth and Google taketh.
#2: I need to be able to focus on ad campaigns that I can control so that if I do find my website rank slipping for a few keywords it's no big deal. I needed for Google traffic to just be the frosting on the cake, not the cake itself.
I eventually stumbled across a better way to get targeted traffic to my website that didn't involve technical SEO. It allowed me to regain control over my business. To date, this strategy has allowed me to generate 100,000's of targeted visitors from Google across several websites and industries.
Friends and colleagues began to ask for my advice after seeing how successful I was with the strategy, so I decided to put all of the info into this ebook...
In TRUE Web Presence, you'll learn:
- How to drive targeted traffic to your site without giving SEO a 2nd thought.
- How to finally start doing business online without worrying about your Google ranking.
- Why technical SEO usually leaves your site in the Google 'sandbox'.
- How to finally take control of your business and it's inevitable success.
- How to sell more without lowering your price point.
- The easy, natural way to get popular websites pointing to your site.
- Why your typical 'seo expert' does more harm than good more often than not.
Name Your Price and Download The Ebook
Since it costs me very little to distribute my eBook via the Internet, I've decided not to have a set price and instead let you determine it's value. Yes, even if that price is zero. What are you waiting for? Download it already!
This Strategy Is Good For 2016 & Beyond
Unlike other SEO strategies that change every year and even potentially leave your site penalized by Google, the strategy I outline in this ebook will work today and well into the future. This is the ultimate, long-term, 'white hat' SEO strategy you'll find. You'll be amazed at how simple digital marketing can actually be. You'll finally have the focus you need to really make things happen.
This Ebook Is Written & Formatted To Be Actionable
I don't know about you but I hate fluff when reading marketing books. Give me the meat and potatoes and present it in a way that will help me take action. This is exactly what I've done with this report. After reading you'll be ready to take action immediately. You could potentially see results the same day.
This Isn't A Magic Formula, You Still Have To Use Your Brain
As great as this strategy is for SEO and driving targeted traffic to your site, it still requires you to think for yourself. There is no magic button that will shoot you the top of Google once pressed. With that said, what I teach in this ebook is literally the most important aspect of your business. More often than not, it's what will make or break your business. Not whether or not you had the right keyword densities for SEO or had enough followers on Facebook or Twitter.

College Hockey:Northeastern loses Karlsson to NHL as assistant captain signs with Ottawa
Northeastern forward Ludwig Karlsson will forgo his final two years of NCAA eligibility after signing a two-year, entry-level contract with the Ottawa Senators on Friday.
The Stockholm, Sweden, native was an assistant captain last season and finished his two years with the Huskies with 34 points on 15 goals and 19 assists in 49 games.
Karlsson's 2012-13 second season was shortened due to injury after he was injured at Harvard on Dec. 29 and attempted a comeback against New Hampshire on Feb. 1, but was sidelined the rest of the way.
In his first season as a Husky, Karlsson became the first freshman to lead the team in scoring (10 goals, 26 points) since Chad Costello in 2006-07.
Karlsson is penciled in to start the 2013-14 season with the Binghamton Senators, Ottawa's AHL affiliate.

The video is about my WVO fuel system that I built and use to fuel one of my trucks. It shows the stainless steel settling tank, the valve, quick coupler and hoses going the the filtration part of the system. The filter consists of two PBH-420-15 Pentek PBH-420 Polypropylene Bag Filter Housing found here:
Here is a link to the actual filter sock or bag this is the 25 micron one. I believe that starting with a 25 and ending with a 5 may be close to the way to go depending on the quality of the oil. High quality oil is the only way to go in the long run. The poor quality oils, there is a fair amount of waste involved and it just plugs the filters
The water separator in the middle is a Cim-Tek 800 Series Fuel Filter HYDROSORB II WATER & PARTICULATE REMOVAL found here:
Here is the page of the adaptor for the filter to spin on to:
I went with all 1.5 pipe inlets and outlets on all my filters and adapted down to 1. I figured that way if I ever wanted to redo to system with only one of the bigger pumps it would be easy that way.
Basically I found everything either at a farm store, harbor freight tools or online. The pumps on the truck are roller pumps that I found used on craigslist. They work much better than the Harbor Freight pumps on the filers. The cheap pumps work great if you have gravity feed going in, but not if you have to lift the fluid. Roller or gear pumps are better that the propeller type pump as far as self priming goes. A vac truck would be the ideal way to collect the oil.
The Harbor Freight Tools 1" Clear Water Pump can be found here:
The 1997 Ford Powerstroke
Has a two tanks, one being heated with engine antifreeze. The fuel line going to the engine is also heated. It is made by taking a fuel hose and running it inside of the heater hose that goes to the tank. I'll have more detail on this in a later video and post, but search the internet for info on exactly how it is done. The fuel mileage and power using this system is noticeably less but I have free fuel. Replacing filters are a fraction of the cost of buying fuel, plus my money is not going to line Big Oil's pocketbook and oil wars anymore.
The Truck Mods Include
Superchips Max Microtuner programmer
Custom Home Built 5" Exhaust
Customized "Hacked" Factory Air Intake and K&N filter
Rebuilt 160cc Injectors
Custom Home Built WVO Conversion System
Home Built Propane Injection Kit
Home Built Water Meth Injection Kit
I have a few more videos and posts to make but you get the idea. I also have a home built hydrogen extractor on my 1996 VW Volkswagen Jetta 2.0 It needs a lot of work yet, but I think that is the fuel of choice for the future. There are actually machines that can make and store hydrogen from solar power electricity on the market now. My system creates it on demand from water under the hood using electricity from the battery.
Comment any questions and I will comment back.
Thanks for reading,

I heard that some PDF or DjVu files are not paginated. Pagination would help adding bookmarks to these files. All PDF and DjVu files I have seen are files consisting of pages of content.
So I wonder what a PDF/DjVu file that is not paginated looks like, and what it will look like after pagination?

At the annual meeting of The Central Atlantic Conference of the United Church of Christ on Saturday, June 14, a resolution was passed to pressure the National Football League and the Washington Redskins to change the team's name and refrain from using any images, mascots, or behaviors that are demeaning to Native American cultures or peoples, according to a report in Indian Country Today. This resolution calls for members to do more than just speak out against the use of the name Redskins. It calls for a complete boycott the football team.
The Central Atlantic Conference of the United Church of Christ oversees 180 congregations with over 40,000 members from Richmond to New Jersey. During this year's meeting in Newark, DE the organization voted unanimously for a boycott of the team's games and gear. The national governing body of the church, which oversees 5,100 congregations and about 1 million members, has said it will review this issue shortly as well.
Rev. Dr. John Deckenback, Conference minister, had this to say about the resolution's passing, "Changing the name of the Washington NFL team will not solve the problems of our country's many trails of broken promises and discriminatory isolation of our Native American communities. However, a change in the nation's capital can send a strong message. I hope this debate will continue to draw attention to an unhealed wound in our cultural fabric."
The Oneida Indian Nation and the National Congress of American Indians (NCAI) attended the Conference's annual meeting and U.S. Oneida Indian Nation Representative Ray Halbritter delivered a statement in support of the resolution, "It is truly an honor to partner with and have the support of the United Church of Christ, an organization that has such a historic record standing up for the cause of civil rights. It is important to have the support of organizations like theirs as we work to relegate one of the last vestiges of racism to the historical scrap heap and come together to usher in an era where mutual respect finally becomes the norm, rather than the exception." To view Mr. Halbritter's complete remarks, click here.
Jacqueline Pata, executive director of the NCAI, said, "The name used by the Washington NFL team is widely recognized as a racial slur and promotes discrimination against Native Americans. More and more organizations are joining our voices calling on team owner Dan Snyder and the NFL to change the name, and we are proud that the United Church of Christ and its members are standing with us."
The Washington Redskins franchise officials have not responded. However, the team's chief financial officer, Karl Schreiber, did call Conference Minister John Deckenback 11 days before the vote to have him speak with three men from the Blackfeet Nation who say they don't mind the controversial name. The Central Atlantic Conference of the United Church of Christ vote comes weeks after 50 U.S. Senators signed a letter calling for the Washington franchise name change. During that same week, a California tribe paid for anti-Redskins ads to run during television broadcasts of the NBA playoffs. Learn more at www.changethemascot.org.
The United Church of Christ (UCC) is a Protestant denomination and is the first mainline denomination to ordain a woman, to ordain an openly-gay man and the first predominantly white denomination to ordain an African American. The UCC's motto is from John 17:21, "That they may all be one." Its official tagline is "God is still speaking." The Church is known for its long-standing commitment and support to social justice issues and its welcome to all, no matter where they are on life's journey. The UCC is headquartered in Cleveland, Ohio, and was very active in protests against the MLB Cleveland Indians and its Chief Wahoo mascot.
The Oneida Indian Nation is a federally-recognized Indian nation in central New York and a member of the Haudenosaunee, or Iroquois Confederacy. The Oneida Indian Nation is headed by Oneida Indian Nation Representative Ray Halbritter. The National Congress of American Indians was founded in 1944 and is the oldest and largest American Indian and Alaska Native organization.
Halbritter received an standing ovation and thanked the attendees for their support saying, "With your help, we cannot only end this ongoing offense against my own heritage, but we can win a major victory for a more inclusive society. This campaign is no longer only about how the use of this term affects Native Americans, it is about what kind of country we all want to live in."

Never mind whether the punishment fit the crime. In this case, the punishment was infinitely more hideous than the crime. The Guardian (UK) has the gruesome details:
A 20-year-old woman has been raped in public by as many as 12 men on the orders of tribal elders in a village in eastern India, according to local police.
The attack, in Birbhum district about 120 miles from Kolkata, was a punishment for an "unauthorised" relationship with a man from another village and the woman's subsequent failure to pay a 50,000 rupee (£490) fine, local media reports said.
Police superintendent C Sudhakar told The Hindustan Times:
According to the woman, the [village head] summoned her and her [lover] on Monday and detained them through the day and night. After her family said they could not pay the fine, the [head] allegedly ordered the mass rape on Tuesday.
Police said all 13 accused men have been arrested and charged with rape. Among them are 10 who made up the "village court."
The woman, who was hospitalized, recounted her ordeal to The Times of India:
I had an affair with a man. We were dragged to a gathering where our community headman was present. They told me to pay 50,000 rupees [$807]. When I said I couldn't, they brutalized me.
According to the Guardian article, violence against women in India is a common occurrence. Four years ago a teenage girl was stripped and forced to walk naked through four villages. During her humiliating experience, people lining the streets took turns molesting her. Some made video recordings of the incident using cell phones.
In 2012, a 23-year-old woman was gang-rapes and murdered, touching off angry popular protests and demands for stricter laws and better policing. It was at this time that the United Nations asked India to ensure security for women.

For a point $x = (x_1, x_2,\ldots, x_n)$ in $\mathbb R^n$, define $T_x$ to be the step function on the interval $\left[1, n+1\right)$ that takes the value $x_k$ on the interval $\left[k, k+1\right)$ for $1\leq k$ $\leq$ $n$. For $p\geq1$, define $\lVert x\rVert_p = \lVert T_x\rVert_p$, the norm of the function $T_x$ in $L^p(\left[1, n+1\right))$. How do we show that this defines a norm on $\mathbb R^n$? How would we prove the Hölder and Minkowski Inequalities for this norm?

"Open House" is the first book published by photographer, Michael Meeks. In the fifty images presented in this handsome monograph, the author presents an imaginary world that once was. Shot during the last year of operation of The Adventurers Club, Meeks balances on a wire between the joviality of the club itself and the somberness of a club about to close.
The relationship between the photographer and his subject appear to vary widely throughout the book due largely to the different actors that play these characters each night. At times, the club itself along with the artifacts that fill it, are as much the subject as the actors.
Aside from the obvious pleasures that are depicted throughout these pages, the emotional attachment of the author is evident in each frame. One only wonders if 1937 was really this grand!
Michael Meeks currently resides in West Lafayette, Indiana. He can be reached through his website at http://www.michaelmeeksphotography.com

For the first time in a while, we're actually releasing a patch on time! It's also been authorised on Desura already, so that's good too.
V8.3 is mostly a stability fix for V8.2, fixing a whole bunch of issues - largely with the Save / Load. There's one or two issues (well, mostly things that are technically new features rather than fixes). Those are also listed below; we'll be working on them from tomorrow and they should be in V8.4 next weekend.
Also, we've (possibly unsurprisingly) made it into the IndieDB Indie of the Year Top 100. This means all the votes are cancelled and the count starts again. It'd be good to make it into the top 10 this year, so if you all could vote again that would be awesome - it only takes 5 seconds. Link below:
Final thing to mention - it's just occurred to me that we can probably rent a render farm to do all our sprite rendering rather than using my PC to do it. This would reduce the render time from something like a year to a couple of weeks. I'll keep everybody posted on that.
- Added final difficulty level uniform images to the Main Menu screen.
- Added a few items to the Scout UFO interior (rear saucer). There are still more to come but this should give a preview of the style.
- Basic Armour with pistol, rocket launcher, precision rifle etc no longer appear as Wolf-armoured troops.
- Terror sites now have icons on the map, so troops can be sent to them after the initial warning.
- Successful terror sites can now only be generated once a week. After this limit is reached UFOs will spawn with different missions instead.
- Stun rockets have been removed from the rocket launcher-armed soldier's starting loadout.
- It should no longer be possible to launch two simultaneous instances of air combat with a UFO by sending two interceptors in different squadrons at the same target simultaneously.
- The Radar Array now displays its name correctly.
- Menu tabs should now work properly on loading a saved game.
- Resaerch projects should no longer disappear on loading a saved game.
- UFO / Aircraft / Vehicle naming should work correctly on loading a save game and quitting then starting a new game from the title screen.
- Ghost UFOs should no longer appear over crash sites on loading a saved game.
- The Iron Man checkbox on the title screen should be clickable / mouseoverable on the text as well as the checkbox now.
- Keybindings now include the crouch / uncrouch key shortcut (bound to 'C' by default), as well as Select Soldier 10 and Select Vehicle 2.
- Keybinding options should now recognise keypresses on the Ground Combat.
- Keybrinding options should no longer be displayed as black text on a black background on the in-game menu (text is now white).
- Quitting from the Ground Combat should no longer cause a crash.
- Quitting a game to the Main Menu should correctly cancel the existing music and start the Main Menu music.
- Soldiers spin instantly on the spot now, instead of slowly rotating. They will stop-mid turn if they see an alien while rotating.
- If a unit blocks the path of a bullet (fully or partially) it will have its selection circle highlighted. This should make it clearer what is blocking shots - particularly where vehicles are concerned.
- Cursor on mouseover of aliens correctly displays red now.
- Cursor on mouseover of civilians correctly displays black now.
- The APs penalty (or lack of) is now correctly updated at the end of each turn.
- If AP Reserve prevents a unit from performing an action, there is now a pop-up window explaining this.
- AP Reserve cannot be activated for a weapon if the unit does not have enough AP to perform the desired fire mode
- AP reserve settings prevent units from firing during their turn now.
Unimplemented Features / Unfixed Bugs:
- Ground combat save / load is still not functional. I think we're nearly there but we're suffering issues with the engine's windowing system. Hopefully it'll be sorted by next week.
-If a UFO escapes to space after being engaged, there should be a 50% chance it reappears in the next UFO wave to try its mission again.
- We need to implement "Target Tracking Lost" and "Target Escaped into Space" messages for when UFOs that are being intercepted by aircraft disappear from the Geoscape for either reason.
- The soldier inventory disappearing secondary weapon (usually grenades) when a two-handed primary weapon is equipped bug is not yet fixed.
- Post-mission two-handed weapon weight penalty doubled bug is still active.
- If two research projects are finished at the same time, only one is shown in the Xenopedia.
EDIT - V8.35 released which fixes the rather critical "dropships not being able to attack landing sites bug".

Okay so I found out I'm expecting a boy...but the boy name board is moving kind of slow...would you all mind if i asked your help w/ names? I know this is a girl name board. We have a list picked out and I don't know if we will look at any other names because we both like the list we have and it will only make things harder adding to the list (unless a long the way you all have a few suggestions). We had such a hard time coming up w/ DD name last time (well the boy name...she was suppose to be a boy we agreed on a girl name...just in case). But boy names are hard for us.
But if it will get annoying I won't.

Snowy mountains, trains that run on time, chocolate and rosti - yep, must be Switzerland...
loos rock – you know those automatic taps, the ones that magically
sense your presence? The ones that only work 50% of the time in
Britain leaving you with a palm-full of noxious liquid soap? In
Switzerland they work. Always. Flawlessly - after a day or two you
stop checking the taps first and simply soap up, fully confident that
the water will emerge as scheduled.
that's Switzerland for you. Things do exacty what they're supposed to
– the trains arrive on time and leave on time and, Richard Branson
take note, don't stop randomly in the middle of nowhere leaving
punctuality beaten and bleeding by the side of the tracks. And that's
just the start of it. Pretty much everywhere in Switzerland is
accessible by public transport – bus, train or post bus, they all
run efficiently and regularly. And the roads, wow...
why am I sitting on a train en route to Interlaken telling you this?
Well, according to the nice people at Swiss Tourism who've been
plying 140 journalists from all over the world with chocolate,
alcohol, ridiculously lavish buffets, opera and sleep deprivation –
keeps those pesky journos quiet and pliable – walkers everywhere
need to know that Swiss infrastructure rocks.
not only does Switzerland boast amazing alpine hiking and climbing,
but you can get to it easily. And they say, it's no longer so
fearsomely expensive that you need to take out a second mortgage just
to buy a cup of coffee. Not that I'd know about that, I haven't
bought so much as a bottle of water since I got here two days ago.
quality of the walking you'll have to take on trust for now because,
so far, I haven't actually done any. I've gazed out at blankets of
cloud from a goat shit-strewn viewpoint reached by rack and pinion
mountain railway and conversely, gazed up at the same viewpoint
through blankets of cloud from the ground, but mostly I've just been
indoctrinated gently by the charming folk from Swiss Tourism, two
beared chaps pushing a polysteyrene boulder across Switzerland, a
champion somelier singing the praises of the wines of Ticino, where
we've been based, and subiminally by top-level opera singer and

Stayed in Interlaken a few times with great walking in the Jungfrau Region. I'll have to go back. Transport as the article says is very good. Watch the folks (probably Brits) who are used to trains leaving late, arriving at the station as the train pulls out dead on time.

"And they say, it's no longer so fearsomely expensive that you need to take out a second mortgage just to buy a cup of coffee."
Really? I wasn't convinced, passing through Geneva earlier in the summer. I think they might be comparing the Swiss Franc with the Euro, rather than good ol' Poonds Sterling...

The rest of the week will bring some rapid changes in our weather as we watch for a little bit of everything between now the weekend.
A cold front is forecast to be moving out of the region early Wednesday morning and there could be few showers as we start the day. It looks like the best chance for wet weather should be relegated to northwest Indiana with mostly cloudy skies expected areawide.
We'll be cooler behind the front with highs in the low 70s and west winds at 5-15 mph. As drier air moves into the region we should see decreasing clouds during the day Wednesday with mostly clear skies expected by late in the day and through the overnight hours as well.
As an area of high pressure moves over the region we'll see quieter conditions on Thursday with less wind and highs in the mid 60s. A zonal flow set up across the U.S. will mean we'll only be hours from our next chance of rain however.
We'll watch for a surface low to lift out of the central plains and head toward the region. Showers and storms appear likely Thursday night with scattered showers still possible Friday. Friday looks a little raw with breezy northwest winds and cloudy skies as well.
You can learn more about the forecast by viewing the slideshow.

Negotiations continue on fiscal cliff as House Speaker John Boehner readies backup plan
Associated Press
WASHINGTON — President Barack Obama and House Speaker John Boehner pushed ahead on negotiating a broad deal to avert the "fiscal cliff," even as the GOP leader readied a backup plan Tuesday to pressure the White House with little time left to avoid a double hit on the economy.
With exactly two weeks to automatic tax hikes and spending cuts, Boehner offered a measure, dubbed "plan B," that would cancel tax increases due to take effect Jan. 1 on everyone earning $1 million or less, while allowing tax increases on those earning more than that amount.
Boehner insisted that his plan would address the burgeoning deficits and that the president has failed to produce a balance plan in weeks of post-election negotiations.
But the speaker's alternative was a non-starter with the White House and Democrats, and perhaps more damaging to its prospects, got a frosty reception from rank-and-file House Republicans in a morning closed-door meeting.
"The president is willing to continue to work with Republicans to reach a bipartisan solution that averts the fiscal cliff, protects the middle class, helps the economy, and puts our nation on a fiscally sustainable path," White House spokesman Jay Carney said. "But he is not willing to accept a deal that doesn't ask enough of the very wealthiest in taxes and instead shifts the burden to the middle class and seniors."
GOP aides said the leadership strategy is to pass the alternative plan in the House and send it to the Senate. There, Republicans would use their clout to block Democratic alternatives.
Even as he offered his alternative plan, Boehner indicated that negotiations with Obama continue on avoiding the fiscal cliff. Economists inside and outside the government have warned that the combination of spending cuts and tax hikes could stall a weak recovery and threaten a new recession.
"I continue to have hope that we can reach a broader agreement with the White House" that would cancel the tax increases and spending cuts now poised to begin in early January, Boehner, R-Ohio, told reporters.
But he said when it comes to offering a package that balances tax increases with spending cuts, "The president is not there yet."
Boehner presented his alternative to his GOP caucus, which reacted coolly to any plan that includes an increase in the tax rate. Conservatives and tea partyers signaled that Boehner faces a tough time rounding up the votes.
"I think it's a terrible idea," said Rep. Raul Labrador, R-Idaho. "For a lot of reasons."
When asked whether there was enough support among fellow Republicans to pass it, Labrador said, "I do not."
Rep. Jason Chaffetz, R-Utah, said he is in favor of preventing tax hikes for as many taxpayers as possible, but he's not ready to support Boehner's plan.
"I didn't see enough specificity to support it," Chaffetz said.
Rep. Jim Jordan of Ohio, the outgoing chairman of the conservative Republican Study Committee, said, "I'm not doing cartwheels over it, that's for sure."
Jordan said Boehner's plan crosses a dangerous line by enacting higher tax rates for anyone.
"I think it's a mistake for the Republican Party, so that's what I think a lot of members are struggling with," said the Ohio Republican.
In the Senate, Democratic Leader Harry Reid said the Boehner plan could not pass and urged the speaker to work out an agreement with the president.
"Now is the time to show leadership, not kick the can down the road," Reid said. "Speaker Boehner should focus his energy on forging a large-scale deficit reduction agreement. It would be a shame if Republicans abandoned productive negotiations due to pressure from the tea party, as they have time and again."

From Grand Theft Wiki
Revision as of 19:04, 10 January 2012 by Raggi Boy (talk | contribs) (why would liberty city be called anything else?)
This is a simple list of Grand Theft Auto games, in order of release date, grouped by era.
Grand Theft Auto I era (1997 - 1999)
- Grand Theft Auto 1 - Originally titled "Grand Theft Auto"
- Grand Theft Auto: London 1969
- Grand Theft Auto: London 1961
Grand Theft Auto II era (1999 - 2001)
Grand Theft Auto III era (2001 - 2007)
The GTA III Era brought a 3D perspective to the game and firmly established the humour and features of the series. This era is considered to be closed-off and finished.
- Grand Theft Auto III
- Grand Theft Auto: Vice City
- Grand Theft Auto Advance
- Grand Theft Auto: San Andreas
- Grand Theft Auto: Liberty City Stories
- Grand Theft Auto: Vice City Stories
Grand Theft Auto IV era (2008 - 2011)
The GTA IV Era only firmly consists of GTA IV, and does not overlap with previous eras. However, there are many references to previous games, including several businesses and brands (eg Sprunk) and other hidden references.
- Grand Theft Auto IV
- Grand Theft Auto: The Lost and Damned
- Grand Theft Auto: The Ballad of Gay Tony
- Grand Theft Auto: Chinatown Wars
Grand Theft Auto V era (2012 - ????)
The GTA V Era is the next era in the series. It is currently unknown if the GTA V Era will start fresh like all of the previous numbered games, or if the GTA IV Era and GTA V Era will overlap in some ways.

June CanJam: Berry-licious!Jun 25th, 2010 Posted in Jam & Jelly Recipes | 2 comments »
Last summer, I was in a chipotle phase, adding a touch of pureed chipotle peppers in adobo to several jams. This summer, my low sugar jam experiments are going to include Pomona's Universal Citrus Pectin.
I didn't forget the chipotle – in fact, after tasting rhubarb mango and rhubarb strawberry (which became more of a sauce than a jam…note to self: do not use frozen rhubarb for jam!), I decided that the beautiful local strawberries that made their appearance a couple weeks ahead of schedule deserved at least one taste of chipotle.

Rakhi almost stuns you into silence as she says: "Personally speaking, I really don't like to expose." Ask her in bewilderment, as to why did she demand for a C-string in that case, and the bindaas gal replies without much ado: "I have till now worn G-strings only. Since I'm wearing very short dresses in Gazab Desh, I didn't want the pantyline to show. That's why I insisted on C-string and the channel people have sourced these for me from abroad."
Whatever her reasons, but this C-String of hers has certainly created a furore in India. So, was this new tryst with sensuous undergarments motivated by some of the Indian stars, who were caught on-camera wearing nothing on different occasions? Rakhi replies without any hesitation: "Yes, that was one major concern because of the mini dresses that I'm wearing. I didn't want to be caught off-guard while sitting or crossing my legs."
Now that she's been wearing these C-strings for a while, what's her take on these sexy pieces of dressing? "Honestly speaking, I was very scared initially that my C-strings would fall. After all, they are stuck to your body sans any supporting strings. So, while dancing and jumping in the chat show, I would try to keep my legs closed. But, now I'm actually enjoying wearing these sexy undergarments," says Rakhi with a hearty laugh.

(Ivanhoe Newswire) -- The stress of panic attacks may be just the beginning. New research shows people diagnosed with panic attacks or panic disorder are more likely to develop heart disease or suffer a heart attack or develop coronary heart disease (CHD) than the rest of the population.
Studies show the risk for having a heart attack was increased by 38 percent and developing heart disease increased by 44 percent. Researchers find the risk is even greater for panic attack sufferers under age 50. But interestingly, researchers found the risk of dying from CHD was actually reduced for panic attack sufferers by about 24 percent.
Researchers say the connection between the conditions could be due to an initial misdiagnosis of CHD as panic attacks. "The symptoms of panic attacks can closely mimic those of a heart attack or acute cardiac disease, and it seems that there may be a complex relationship between them," Kate Walters, Ph.D., a senior lecturer in primary care at University College London, was quoted as saying.
Dr. Walters cautions panic attack sufferers should not worry about these findings, as the increased risk of CHD and heart attack is small. The vast majority of panic attack sufferers will not go on to develop the conditions.

I want to have subdomains with SSL within my domain. The main difference is that each subdomain is hosted by a different person with a different public key/private key pair.
Let me illustrate with an example:
- User send his public key and requests subdomain from foo.com
- User is added and assigned subdomain bar (bar.foo.com). Users public key is stored for future validation against bar.foo.com
- User goes to bar.foo.com and see's a validated SSL connection.
From what I gather, this means that I need to create a CA, which is fine. The problem is that from what I recall, a CA needs a special sort of SSL Cert. How do I go about getting this?

A new device is out that uses radio frequency to help treat excess fat underneath the chin and neck. It's called Viora and it can do amazing things. It can also be used to tighten the skin of the neck and abdomen and can treat cellulite of the legs. The technology has been around for many years, but the Viora machine utilizes a vacuum to help cover a broader area for better results. However, don't expect the same results as a facelift. The Viora can help Baltimore facelift patients achieve better results after a facelift, but it cannot give typical facelift results that are achieved surgically. Visit with your Baltimore plastic surgeon to find out more about Viora and what it can do for you.

"The View From Barga!" Top 5 Page for this destination Barga by painterdave
Barga Travel Guide: 23 reviews and 66 photos
For years I have heard from a friend all about Barga. This past month I was finally able to go and take a look. I was not disappointed.
The climb to the top of Barga just about did me in, but was worth it. The view from the church is beautiful. Snow covered mountains on three sides.
We did not get much of a chance to explore Barga, but we did get to the amazing pasticceria, and my best tip is that if you leave Barga before going to taste and see. You have missed Barga.
There is also an amazing, and quite affordable ristorante further up the road in Turritecava.
Shown here is some offerings from the pasticceria. This was after a long morning and I think many items have already been consumed, you see only what was left.
These lion statues are so very similar to the ones in a church in Modena, and have the same kind of subject, the lion standing on top of a person. I am sure the same artist created both.
- Pros:Great Festival in Summer
- Cons:Parking is difficult

Students are trading swimsuits for hammers during their spring break vacation as they work to build simple, decent homes with families in need during Habitat for Humanity's "Collegiate Challenge."
During March and April, students from Davis & Elkins College (W. Va.), College Avenue United Methodist Church (Ind.), Universal Baptist Church (Ill.) and Haddam-Killingworth High School (Conn.) will help build simple, decent and affordable homes. Besides donating their time to Habitat, the students also make a sizeable monetary donation to offset the cost of food, housing and building materials they will use while they are participating.
"We look forward to Collegiate Challenge each year," says Diane Quick, executive director of the local Habitat organization. "These are some of the greatest kids you'd ever want to meet. They bring lots of enthusiasm, excitement and energy to our affiliate, and we are very grateful to have them with us during their spring breaks."
This year, nearly 11,000 students have signed up to participate in Collegiate Challenge across the country. The program offers high school and college students year-round opportunities to use their vacations to serve a community by volunteering to build homes. Students from the United States, Canada and Japan will travel to 225 locations in the United States and Mexico.
The future of the Habitat movement lies with young people," says Millard Fuller, founder and president of Habitat for Humanity International. "We are excited that students want to get involved in helping families who are less fortunate."
Throughout its 16-year history, Collegiate Challenge has sent more than 90,000 students to build Habitat houses. During this time, students have raised more than $7 million through the program to pay for construction. This year alone, Collegiate Challenge students will contribute $1 million to help build 450 houses.
Habitat for Humanity International is a Christian ministry dedicated to eliminating poverty housing. Founded by Millard Fuller, along with his wife, Linda, Habitat for Humanity International and its affiliates in more than 3,000 communities in 92 nations have built and sold more than 150,000 homes to partner families with no-profit, zero-interest mortgages. www.habitat.org Habitat for Humanity of St. Augustine/St. Johns County was founded in 1993 and has built 25 homes during that time.
Thousands of volunteers participate Wednesdays, Fridays and Saturdays throughout the year with the local affiliate.
Volunteers are also needed to help on committees.
If interested, contact the Habitat office at 826-3252 for more information.

As President Obama was just wrapping up his meeting with the G-7 Summit, he said in his latest speech that the European Union has all agreed, and are now ready to put sanctions on Russia. But Obama also warned that there will be consequences.
President Obama, after hearing the cries of the Ukrainian people and the NATO allies that are in the Baltic region, has been working nonstop putting more and more pressure on Russia. His latest meeting with the EU has been fruitful, as he was finally able to get them to agree to tough sanctions.
Knowing that something had to be done to stop Russia, and getting the European Union to agree to sanctions was not easy, because of the fact that Russia controls much of the gas and oil that is supplied to the European nations. But President Obama assured these nations that the U.S. will do everything in its power to help restore the gas and oil supply to the region, should Russia decide to cut them off. But he also said that it would not happen overnight and the world would see economic hardship due to these sanctions.
The cheapest and best way to supply the gas and oil to the European nations has already been organized through Russia and to do it any other way would be costly for Europe as well as the entire world. Having to ship the oil and gas there or to do it any other way, then by the way Russia had already set up would be costly. The only comparable way to restore the fuel to Europe is through new pipelines that would take time and money.
When Russia decides to cut off the supply, it will also cause a fuel shortage throughout Europe. This fuel shortage will be interpreted in stock markets all around the world as higher fuel prices, as stock markets are governed by the law of supply and demand around the world. If there is a shortage of gas anywhere in the world, the result is higher prices at the gas pumps, regardless of where you live.
In order to help Europe, the US and other countries will have to scramble to try to bridge the supply gap, making their own nations fall short on fuel. The danger is as the price of oil per barrel imports continue to rise, prices go up in the stores as the cost to ship products increase. Once the oil per barrel price gets to a certain point, at about $124 per barrel, the economy can no longer sustain it, and an economic collapse becomes apparent.
But Russia cutting off the fuel supply is not the only worry. Russia is an ally to most of the Muslim nations who also supply oil. And if Russia dictates, all the Middle Eastern countries, like Iran for instance, may stop their fuel productions as well, causing a further fuel shortage across the world, making a world wide economic collapse that more damaging. Iran can also control the channel in the strait of Hormuz, as they have demonstrated in the past, where most of the world's fuel supply is shipped through.
To get an idea how much on board Russia's allies are, take a look at what North Korea did today. It seems like every time sanctions are mentioned against Russia, North Korea fires more rockets into the sea. They did this today just as Obama was making his latest speech against Russia. It is apparent that all the Middle East allies are ready and waiting for Russia's command to use all the weapons at their disposal that was supplied to them by Russia. North Korea fired missiles into the sea and Iran continues to send rockets to Gaza to be fired at Israel. Iran has the nuclear weapons, ready and waiting for Putin's command to be fired at the United States number one ally in the Middle East, Israel. So at any second, the world could turn into complete chaos just by a signal given by Russia.
We are living in perilous times, at any given moment there could be a world wide economic collapse and chaos could break out in the Middle East. The tribulation hour is about to begin, the midnight hour is upon us. Ask Jesus into your heart, ask him to forgive you of your sins and get ready, before its too late! The final signs and warnings are here and you don't want to be left behind for the tribulation hour that is about to come. Don't delay, ask Jesus into your heart today!
