Tuesday Tech Question (12/03)
The Tuesday Tech Question is a fun section where prospective technical inspectors or anyone who wants to get a better idea of how to work the NHRA Rulebook can test their knowledge and search abilities. If you have an NHRA Rulebook, try and find the answer to the question in the book before looking down at the answer. If you don't have a Rulebook but are an NHRA Member, you can download a pdf at nhra.com under 'Member Benefits'.
I have a supercharged 23-T Altered that I will be running in Quick 8 at my local NHRA track and some NHRA Top Dragster. I was told that I will need a flame-retardant seat covering.
Seat Cover Steve
Seat Cover Steve,
You are correct. All front-engine open-bodied vehicles supercharged or turbocharged burning gas or alcohol must have a flame-retardant material-covered seat.

WASHINGTON, D.C. - In cooperation with the U.S. Consumer Product Safety Commission (CPSC), Tuesday Morning, Inc., Dallas, Texas, is voluntarily recalling about 1,164 wooden cobbler bench toys. The product is a banned hazardous substance under the Federal Hazardous Substances Act because the toy contains balls which measure less than 1.75 inches in diameter.

As I continue my journey of cultivating a wardrobe that truly reflects my personal style, I've found myself adding more and more black into my closet. Black has always been the new black to me. It's my favorite "color" to wear. As I've said in past post, there was a time where I tried to not buy as many neutral pieces because I was influenced by others, but now that I've come into my own I know that I personally can never have too many black pieces in my closet. Whether it's the cut, an angle, trim or pattern, black is never boring.
Here are a few of my favorite monochromatic looks from my "Black is Always the New Black" Pinterest board. There have been so many amazing Summer inspired looks streaming through the web. What have been some of your favorites? Any particular bloggers you love in black? For me, Sincerely Jules and Song of Style always hit it out of the ball park!
If you're looking for some more monochromatic looks check out this and this.

text: Fitness Assessments At the Drexel Recreation Center, each and every client begins their training process with an assessment of their current physical state. Fitness assessments calculate exercisers' baselines and serve as tools to track physical fitness progress and health improvements. An assessment can determine physical strong-points and areas for improvement. Not only can fitness assessments help beginners get started on improving their health, but aide seasoned exercisers to build upon their previous and usual routines. Assessment Types: Comprehensive Fitness Assessment Prior to meeting with one of our fitness specialists, new clients will complete a comprehensive health history questionnaire which collects medical, injury and exercise history, nutrition and lifestyle habits, as well as health and fitness goals. The information collected will determine the scope and design of the assessment. Comprehensive Fitness Assessments entail the testing of cardiorespiratory fitness levels, anaerobic threshold, muscular strength, strength endurance, balance, flexibility, and functional movement. Body Composition Analysis Body composition is used to describe percentages in fat, muscle, and bone tissues in the human body. Body fat percentage and distribution will be measured using skin-fold calipers, BMI and circumference measurements. We will also be utilizing some of the latest and cutting edge technology, PhIt. PhIt is a three-dimensional photonic imaging tool developed by a team of Drexel University alums, which tracks longitudinal changes in body shape and body composition. Utilization of this device will enhance the quality of the body composition analysis. How to Get Started Each assessment can be purchased individually or can be included in a personal training package. For information about rates or scheduling, please contact Member Services at 215.571.3830 or email@example.com.

Late Registration
What parents need to know
Parents Need to Know
Parents need to know that this rapper employs explicit language and a visceral edge that might be uncomfortable for some parents. But Kanye West is an artist with something important to say, and he says it very very well. And, this album provides a rare example of an edited CD being at least as good as the explicit version.
User reviews
Parents say
Kids say
What's the story?
Kanye West loves to put down higher education, yet both his debut album and this follow-up, LATE REGISTRATION, contain cover and insert art paying homage to the trappings of Academia – could there be some unresolved issues here? Whatever the artist's feelings about his own academic career, he's moved beyond schoolboy concerns to confront serious and important social and political issues. West shows real guts as he creates songs about inadequate health care (\"Roses\"), the weakening of political activism in the African American community as a result of drug use (\"Crack Music\"), and the relationship between the jewelry industry and Sierra Leone's civil war (\"Diamonds\").
Is it any good?
At least Kanye West is talking about something other than money, women, and living the life of a famous rapper, even if some of the lyrics are simplistic and a bit clumsy. Exquisite production (in collaboration with Jon Brion) helps bring out the best in these songs, and a long list of guest cameos features the talents of Adam Levine of Maroon 5, Lupe Fiasco, Jamie Foxx channeling Ray Charles, Paul Wall & GLC, Common, Game, Brandy, Jay-Z, Nas & Really Doe, Consequence & Cam'Ron. Though he employs explicit language and a visceral edge that might be uncomfortable for some parents, Kanye West is an artist with something important to say, and he says it very very well.
Families can talk about...
Families can talk about the very real socio-political issues that Kanye West has the courage to confront, and the difference between his chosen subject matter and that of artists who write songs about nothing more than money, violence, and fame.

NEW YORK — The coming Broadway season promises something for everyone: a musical by Sting, a magician-filled sport-utility vehicle, the incomparable Hugh Jackman, the equally regal Helen Mirren, a musical with a funeral-parlor setting and two Gyllenhaals.
Some themes in the 2014-15 schedule:
Celebrities galore
You want A-listers? Broadway will offer Alan Alda, Candice Bergen, Matthew Broderick, Carol Burnett, Rose Byrne, Michael Cera, Kristin Chenoweth, Glenn Close, Bradley Cooper, Tony Danza, Brian Dennehy, Mia Farrow, Tavi Gevinson, Jake and Maggie Gyllenhaal, Anjelica Huston, Hugh Jackman, James Earl Jones, Nathan Lane, Ewan McGregor, Helen Mirren, Gretchen Mol and Cynthia Nixon.
Multiple revivals
It wouldn't be a new Broadway season without some revivals. Side Show will return for a second time, and back for a third time will be the following shows: Tom Stoppard's The Real Thing, Edward Albee's A Delicate Balance, The Elephant Man and the screwball comedy Noises Off.
Old-school tales
Producers have dug deep into America's past for four classic tales.
The play You Can't Take It With You, by George S. Kaufman and Moss Hart, which premiered in 1936, will return in September; the 1944 show On the Town, with music by Leonard Bernstein and book and lyrics by Betty Comden and Adolph Green, will be back in October; An American in Paris, an adaptation of the 1951 Gene Kelly film, will arrive in spring; and another Comden-Green comedy, On the Twentieth Century, will steam into town in February.
Fisherman Jackman
Hugh Jackman will return in the fall in The River by Jez Butterworth, but does it really matter what he does?
The play — the latest from Butterworth since Jerusalem (2009) — is about a trout fisherman in a remote cabin who is visited by two of the women in his life.
Jackman is box-office catnip. His one-man show in 2011 routinely sold out, as did The Boy From Oz in 2003 and A Steady Rain with Daniel Craig in 2009.
Crowned heads
Helen Mirren will play British Queen Elizabeth II in the spring in The Audience, which imagines the private weekly meetings between the monarch and 12 prime ministers.
Meanwhile, Kelli O'Hara and Ken Watanabe will romance each other starting in March in the Richard Rodgers-Oscar Hammerstein II musical The King and I.
Brown, round two
Composer Jason Robert Brown will seek redemption during the winter with his musical of Honeymoon in Vegas.
Brown's previous show, The Bridges of Madison County, closed in May after only 137 performances. His luck on Broadway has been pretty awful — with Parade, Urban Cowboy and 13 each not lasting long.
Torch passage
Kenneth Lonergan's play This Is Our Youth premiered off-Broadway in 1996 and has featured high-profile actors such as Matt Damon, Jake Gyllenhaal, Josh Hamilton, Colin Hanks, Chris Klein, Anna Paquin and Mark Ruffalo.
Michael Cera, Kieran Culkin and Tavi Gevinson will make their Broadway debuts in the play.
Familiar co-stars
Nathan Lane and Matthew Broderick will be together again on Broadway in a revival of Terrence McNally's It's Only a Play.
The duo last appeared in The Odd Couple and famously starred before that in The Producers.
In the updated version of It's Only a Play, Broderick portrays an anxious writer, and Lane is his best friend, a stage actor turned TV star.
Rabbit pullers
Seven magicians — including an anti-conjurer, a futurist, an escapologist and an inventor — will take the stage for The Illusionists — Witness the Impossible. They will hang upside down, pull gross things from their throats and use swords in creative ways.
Critics might be scared to give them a thumbs-down.
Inventive storytellers
Two shows promise sparks from challenging material: the London import The Curious Incident of the Dog in the Night-Time, based on an adaptation of Mark Haddon's best-selling novel about a teenager with Asperger's syndrome who tries to find a dog's killer; and Fun Home, a musical adapted from Alison Bechdel's memoir about growing up in a funeral home with a closeted gay dad.
Two Peter Pans
There is no reason to grow up this season. Finding Neverland, a musical led by Diane Paulus, will explore the Peter Pan back story; and Allison Williams will star as the title character in the Dec. 4 NBC telecast of Peter Pan Live!
Two Gyllenhaals
Maggie Gyllenhaal will make her Broadway debut starring opposite Ewan McGregor in The Real Thing starting in October.
Her brother, Jake, will make his debut in the Nick Payne play Constellations beginning in December.
Romantic pairings
Producers of the A.R. Gurney romantic play Love Letters seem to have found a way to get you to see the show repeatedly: They have stacked it with changing pairs of stars.
Brian Dennehy and Mia Farrow will start in September — then Carol Burnett and Dennehy, Alan Alda and Candice Bergen, Stacy Keach and Diana Rigg, and finally Anjelica Huston and Martin Sheen.
No quiet party
A dinner party spirals out of control in Ayad Akhtar's Pulitzer Prize-winning Disgraced, which will hit Broadway this month. It stars Hari Dhillon, who played the Muslim-American lawyer at the heart of the play in London.
Sting musical
Sting, a 16-time Grammy Award winner and former lead singer of the Police, has written the music for The Last Ship, with a story by John Logan and Brian Yorkey. The musical is inspired by Sting's memories of growing up in northeastern England and the closing of his town's shipyard.

A jack-in-the-box is a children's toy that outwardly consists of a box with a crank. When the crank is turned, it plays a melody, often "Pop Goes the Weasel". At the end of the tune there is a "surprise", the lid pops open and a figure, usually a clown or jester, pops out of the box. Some jack-in-the-boxes open at random times when cranked, making the startle even more effective.

Bell's father, grandfather, and brother had all been associated with work on elocution and speech, and both his mother and wife were deaf, profoundly influencing Bell's life's work. His research on hearing and speech further led him to experiment with hearing devices which eventually culminated in Bell being awarded the first US patent for the telephone in 1876. In retrospect, Bell considered his most famous invention an intrusion on his real work as a scientist and refused to have a telephone in his study.

The European Organization for Nuclear Research, known as CERN - Established in 1954, is a European research organization whose purpose is to operate the world's largest particle physics laboratory.
The World Wide Web began as a CERN project called ENQUIRE, initiated by Tim Berners-Lee in 1989 and Robert Cailliau in 1990. Berners-Lee and Cailliau were jointly honoured by the Association for Computing Machinery in 1995 for their contributions to the development of the World Wide Web. Based on the concept of hypertext, the project was aimed at facilitating sharing information among researchers. The first website went on-line in 1991. On 30 April 1993, CERN announced that the World Wide Web would be free to anyone. The original first webpage, created by Berners-Lee, is still published on the World Wide Web Consortium's website.

Abstract: Granulomatous pigmented purpuric dermatosis is a rare entity. Historically, it has been seen in Asians. In this article, we report the case of a white man with this unusual variant. A 65-year-old, white man presented with a 1-year history of asymptomatic purpuric to brown papules on both lower legs and more confluent on dorsum of feet. He had an underlying history of hypertension and hyperlipidemia. Skin biopsy revealed a granulomatous lympho-histocytary inflammatory infiltrate in papillary dermis and superficial reticular dermis with extravasation of red blood cells and siderophages. periodic acid schiff (PAS), Giemsa and Ziehl–Neelsen stains were negative. A diagnosis of granulomatous pigmented purpuric dermatosis was made. From the 10 cases reported of this granulomatous variant, 6 were associated with hyperlipidemia. We report an additional case with this association.

Hamamatsu Photonics K.K. has developed three new image sensors that feature a high-speed charge transfer structure in each pixel to enable high-precision TOF (time-of-flight) distance measurements.
The S11961-01CR is the industry's first linear image sensor for TOF distance measurement, and the S11962-01CR and S11963-01CR are area image sensors for 3D distance-measuring cameras.
In addition to conventional detection tasks such as detecting the presence of people or obstacles, the new image sensors provide various types of added functionality including distance measurement and shape detection.
They have been designed for use in a wide variety of applications, such as automotive systems for detecting people or obstacles, object detection in semiconductor wafer transfer systems, shape detection by industrial robots, and intruder detection by security systems.
Samples of the new distance linear/area image sensors will be available from 1st February, 2013.

NAHAD Annual Golf Tournament*
Monday, May 2 • 1:00 pm Shotgun Start (walk over to the course early to warm up and enjoy your box lunch)
Price: $270 per person, includes range balls, greens fee, cart, box lunch, beverage and prizes
The Broadmoor's East Course is known for its wide, tree-lined fairways and expansive greens. With its challenging terrain and amazing mountain vistas, The East Course is ranked among the best golf courses in the country. Since the large trees can alter your shots and the putting greens difficult to read, the best tip we can offer for those taking on this open course is to remember that putts break away from the mountains. When completed in 1918, this Donald Ross-designed course was the highest golf course in the United States at 6,400 feet in elevation and Ross declared it his 'best work'. The East Course is now a combination of the original Donald Ross design mixed with holes designed by Robert Trent Jones, Sr. in 1952.
The East Course has been home to many major tournaments, including the 1959 U.S. Amateur (which was Jack Nicklaus' first major win), the 1967 U.S. Amateur, and the 1995 U.S. Women's Open, which was Annika Sorenstam's first major title. Most recently, the famous course served as the host to the 2008 U.S. Senior Open and the 2011 U. S. Women's Open Championship. The East Course was one of only 12 North American and Caribbean golf courses to receive a five-star rating by Golf Digest.
The NAHAD tournament will feature a scramble format. Please indicate on the Registration Form if you would like to be paired with another member. It is usually extremely easy for NAHAD to honor your request for pairings with advance notice, but impossible to do this at the last minute. Also, we recommend calling anyone with whom you wish to be paired to see if they plan to play. Pairings will be done on a first noted, first designated basis.
Guided Hike to Seven Bridges
Monday, May 2 1:00 pm – 5:00 pm
Price: $70, includes transportation and guided hike
Forget where you are on this tranquil three mile hike along North Cheyenne Creek. Starting at Gold Camp Road, we will walk approximately one mile on the roadbed (easy), turning off at the trailhead and hike over seven bridges on our way to a breathtaking view of the plains beyond. Trail/hiking/tennis shoes required. Trail rated MODERATE and suggested for those wanting a bit more exercise.
Garden of the Gods Segway Tour
Monday, May 2 • 2:00 pm – 5:00 pm
Price: $99, includes transportation from Broadmoor, Segway instruction, tour, equipment and Guide
After training in the cone adventure park, you will be confident to spend 90 minutes on the Segway and experience one of nature's greatest treasures, Garden of the Gods. Tours originate at the Garden of the Gods Visitor and Nature Center where unobscured views will ensure your visit to this beautiful city park is memorable. Your guide will make several short stops to point out Red Tail hawks, eagles' nests, ancient rock formations, exotic plants and wild life. You may see unique caricatures hidden in and climbing on the rocks. Your guide will speak a little about the history of the park and Colorado Springs, tell tales and true stories of the old west. You might even get rained on and have a possible encounter with a big horn sheep. Then in the end, all you remember is the Segway is sweet.
Please wear sturdy, closed toe shoes.
Spouse Tour, Shopping & Luncheon
Tuesday, May 3 • 10:30 am – 3:00 pm
Price: $79, includes tour by coach, luncheon in an Italian restaurant in Old Colorado City and shopping time
This tour will give you an opportunity to join new or long-time friends for an excursion to the Garden of the Gods and Old Colorado City. The tour begins in the Broadmoor area with its stately old homes and resort hotel nestled in the foothills. Our tour then climbs up beautiful Cheyenne Canyon with its sheer, rocky walls and rushing stream. High up on Gold Camp Road we drive through old train tunnels, stopping for the incredible photo-op afforded by stunning vistas of Colorado Springs and beyond... then we drop back down into Old Colorado City, sample the bubbling mineral waters of Manitou Springs and enter awe-inspiring Garden of the Gods where we experience the park's unique rock formations and ancient juniper trees. Then, enjoy a delicious lunch followed by some time to shop.
The NAHAD Annual Convention is open to members of NAHAD only. If you are not a member and wish to attend future events, please visit our Join page.


text: Your solution works fine (there's loads of solutions). The idea of a limit point p is that there are lots and lots (infinitely many, as you can prove) of distinct points in E that get arbitrarily close to p. In fact, it doesn't matter how much you "zoom in" on the point p, there will still be infinitely many points in your "viewing window". Does that make sense?

Here are five things you can do to make sure your DNS is in good shape and not causing problems for the rest of the Internet, which, by the way, also includes you.
Every time we get email, access a web page, make a VoIP call, or complete many other tasks, we use the Domain Name System (DNS). That makes DNS part of the critical infrastructure of the Internet.
This article describes five things that you can do to keep you and your organization safe as well as reduce unnecessary load on the DNS infrastructure:
For each of the items discussed, the corrective actions and BIND configuration (named.conf) or zone file fragments are included.
DNS is a complex, highly distributed system that operates on the hierarchical structure of domain names, so it is worth briefly covering some background.
In tech speak, DNS resolves a name (domain name) into an IP address using a series of queries to authoritative DNS servers until the final answer, an IP address, is obtained. This process is referred to as forward mapping and is done in units called zones, which correspond to each level of the hierarchy of the domain name. To resolve the name
www.example.com, a local DNS server will query authoritative DNS servers for each level in the name, beginning with the root-servers, which will return a referral to the authoritative
.com gTLD servers. The gTLD server, when queried, will return a referral to the authoritative name servers for the domain
example.com, which finally will return the IP address we require. Sometimes it also useful to be able to start with an IP address and find the name allocated to it; email systems especially use this technique as part of an antispam arsenal. DNS performs IP address-to-name translation by manipulating the IP address and using reverse-mapped zones under the reserved domain name
There are two broad classes of DNS servers:
Now, by way of illustrating the sometimes confusing nature of the DNS, some organizations (especially smaller ones) elect to run both caching and authoritative functions in the same name server. While this is not a recommended practice for reasons that we shall see later, it may be simply a pragmatic solution. Finally, each PC has what is sometimes, but erroneously, called a resolver, which typically caches results. In fact this is almost always a stub-resolver that needs the services of a caching or recursive name server to operate effectively, since it is incapable of following referrals.
The root servers are always the starting point for any new query cycle, which makes them the critical part of the critical infrastructure! There are 13 root-servers named
a.root-servers.net through
m.root-servers.net. Using anycast techniques, these servers are replicated across the globe. There are now well over 100 instances of the various root-servers in operational use, the majority of which now lie outside North America. The root-servers receive more than 2 billion queries per day, of which (according to some studies [6],) only 2% are legitimate queries! While the vast majority of unnecessary traffic relates to buggy software and badly configured firewalls, a significant proportion was caused by poorly configured DNS software.
So with all this information at our fingertips, let's look at five DNS issues that you should check to minimize unnecessary traffic on the DNS infrastructure, and help keep your organization running smoothly.
Up to 7% of the total traffic arriving at some root servers consists of reverse queries for private IP addresses, and a complete routing infrastructure (AS112) has been constructed just to handle this problem. Private IP addresses are any in the ranges 192.168.0.0/16, 172.16.0.0/12, and 10.0.0.0/8. While ISPs are delegated the task of reverse-mapping public IPs, they have no such responsibility for private IP addresses. If you are running your own local recursive name server, it is your responsibility to make sure these IP addresses are reverse-mapped in your DNS configuration.
To illustrate reverse-mapping a zone, let's assume that we are using a private address range, 192.168.5.0/28 (16 IP addresses only). BIND's
named.conf file defines the reverse-mapped zone and should look something like this:
// named.conf fragment zone "5.168.192.IN-ADDR.ARPA" IN { type master; file "192.168.5.rev"; allow-update {"none";}; allow-transfer {192.168.5.6;}; // ip address of zone slave }
The zone filename convention above uses
192.168.5.rev to make it simpler to understand, whereas the zone name must be
5.168.192.IN-ADDR.ARPA. If you really enjoy writing reversed addresses, however, you could use "
5.168.192.in-addr.arpa" as the filename. Reverse maps are standard zone files, and may use zone transfers to update the slave (secondary) name server. The
allow-transfer statement just limits the source of zone transfer requests to the slave name server. The
allow-update statement is precautionary, and should be removed if you are auto-updating from DHCP or another source. The reverse zone fragment would look like this:
; reverse map for 192.168.5.0/28 $ORIGIN 5.168.192.IN-ADDR.ARPA. ; Start of Authority (SOA) record defining the key characteristics of the zone @ IN SOA ns1.example.com. hostmaster.example.com. ( 2007040800 ; serial number 12h ; refresh 15m ; retry 3w ; expiry 2h ; min = minimum ) ; name servers Resource Records for the domain IN NS ns1.example.com. IN NS ns2.example.com. ; A RRs for name servers are not glue and therefore ; not necessary ; PTR RR maps an IPv4 address to a host name 2 IN PTR ns1.example.com. 3 IN PTR ns2.example.com. 4 IN PTR mail.example.com. ..... 14 IN PTR joe.example.com.
All the righthand names in this file must be Fully Qualified Domain Names (FQDNs). That is, they must terminate with a dot. If the dot at the end of
mail.example.com was omitted, the
$ORIGIN substitution rule would generate a name of
mail.example.com.5.168.192.IN-ADDR.ARPA, which was probably not the intended result.
Just over 1% of the queries at the root-servers in one of the studies were for localhost. This means that in the study case, which was a subset of the total root-server query load, there were more than 12,000 DNS configurations with no localhost zone defined. Localhost is used by many applications as shorthand when referring to the local PC, and is always mapped to the loopback address 127.0.0.1 (or ::1 for Ipv6). Apart from creating unnecessary root-server traffic, it will slow down applications considerably. To resolve localhost (and its reverse map) the BIND named.conf file should have the following zone files:
// named.conf fragment // forward map zone of localhost zone "localhost" IN { type master; file "master.localhost"; allow-update {"none";}; allow-transfer {192.168.5.6;}; // ip address of zone slave } // reverse map zone of IPv4 localhost zone "0.0.127.IN-ADDR-ARPA" IN { type master; file "localhost.rev"; allow-update {"none";}; allow-transfer {192.168.5.6;}; // ip address of zone slave }
The localhost forward-mapped zone file is normally supplied with most BIND distributions and may be called
localhost or
localhost.zone. The reverse-mapped zone file--again typically supplied with BIND distributions--is normally called something very meaningful like
named.local, which may help explain why it was omitted in more than 12,000 configurations. The localhost zone may be treated as shown, with a master/slave configuration (in which case the
allow-transfer statement is used to limit the transfer request source,) But in most cases, because the zone file is distributed with BIND, it is more normally defined as a master in all cases.
The forward-mapped zone file supplied with most BIND distributions is a masterpiece of the terse and incomprehensible, and a typical example is shown here:
$TTL 86400 $ORIGIN localhost. @ 1D IN SOA @ hostmaster ( 0 ; serial 12h ; refresh 15m ; retry 1w ; expiry 3h ; minimum ) @ 1D IN NS @ ; localhost is the name server 1D IN A 127.0.0.1 ; always returns the loop-back address
An alternate zone file format which is functionally identical may be more comprehensible - or then again it may not!
$TTL 1d ; 24 hours could have been written as 24h or 84600 $ORIGIN localhost. localhost. IN SOA localhost. hostmaster.localhost. ( 2007040800 ; serial 3H ; refresh 15M ; retry 1w ; expire 3h ; minimum ) localhost. IN NS localhost. ; localhost is the name server localhost. IN A 127.0.0.1 ; the loop-back address The reverse-mapped zone file should look like this: $TTL 86400 ; 24 hours $ORIGIN 0.0.127.IN-ADDR.ARPA. @ IN SOA localhost. hostmaster.localhost. ( 2007040800 ; Serial number 3h ; Refresh 15 ; Retry 1w ; Expire 3h ) ; Minimum IN NS localhost. 1 IN PTR localhost.
Lame delegation means that a name server defined in an NS Resource Record (RR) for the zone does not respond authoritatively. That is, it does not set the AA bit in a query response for the zone. This normally happens for one of two reasons. The zone could have failed to load for some reason, in which case the problem will appear in BIND's log (or you could run the
named-checkzone utility to verify the zone file). Alternatively, one or more of the name servers defined in the NS RRs for the domain is not configured with a zone clause. The fragment zone file below shows two name servers for the domain. BIND's named.conf file must have a zone clause for "
example.com" at both name servers (the type may be master or slave), otherwise lame delegation will result:
; fragment of example.com zone file $ORIGIN example.com. ; name servers Resource Records for the domain ; the ns1 is inside our domain, ns2.example.net ; is in another domain ; both name severs must be configure with a zone clause ; for example.com in BIND's named.conf IN NS ns1.example.com. ; out of domain name server IN NS ns2.example.net. ; normal A RR for the in domain name server ns1 IN A 192.168.5.2
It is worth a couple of points of clarification here. The master and any slave servers for the domain will respond authoritatively to queries for the domain, so it is not possible to differentiate between a master and slave answer except, possibly, by looking at the SOA RR. A caching name server, which is neither a master nor a slave server for the zone, will respond with the AA bit the first time it reads the DNS Resource Record data from an authoritative name server. If it supplies the RR from the cache, the AA bit will not be set. To state the obvious, caching name servers cannot be authoritative for a domain. Only name servers with a zone clause for the domain (the type may be master or slave) in BIND's named.conf file can be authoritative for that domain.
Lame delegations are not good for two reasons. First, they cause requery of the zone's name servers looking for an authoritative answer, which adds unnecessary network load. Secondly, BIND helpfully logs lame delegation, so you can rapidly become famous for reasons you never really wanted. Avoid lame delegations!
Running an open recursive server--which means that essentially anyone, anywhere can use your name server to perform recursive queries--is a very bad idea. First, it increases the possibility of cache poisoning (the malicious insertion of false DNS data), by issuing more recursive queries than are required. Essentially, every query is a potential source of cache poisoning, so why do more of them than you have to?
Second, and far more important, an Open DNS may be used to amplify Denial of Service attacks by being requested to query the zone under attack. Sadly, as with open mail relays, what used to be a friendly neighbor thing has become a potential source of harm to everyone else on the Internet. Either remove the ability to issue recursive queries completely, or limit the recursive queries to allowed users only. All methods are shown in the following BIND named.conf fragments:
// if you are running an authoritative only server // the following statement should always be present recursion no;
For a caching name server, or a mixed authoritative and caching name server (remember the recommended practice is not to mix the capabilities), use one of the two methods below:
// mixed authoritative and caching server // use an appropriate local address scope statement // to limit recursion requests to local users allow-recursion {192.168.2.0/24;}; // // if you run only a caching name server use this method // use an appropriate local address scope statement // to limit all query requests to local users allow-query {192.168.2.0/24;};
Remember: Open DNS = Very Bad Idea. Treat this one as a very high priority, and fix it as soon as possible if you find you are running an Open DNS.
As the saying goes, stuff happens. You may, heaven forbid, end up with a zone that is giving people problems. For everyone's sake, and especially yours, make sure that your email address in the zone is correct and functional. The email address of a responsible person for the zone is defined in the SOA Resource Record (the so-called RNAME field), an example of which is shown below:
@ IN SOA ns1.example.com. hostmaster.example.com. ( 2007040800 ; serial number 12h ; refresh 15m ; retry 3w ; expiry 2h ; min = minimum )
In the above example, the email address shown is the recommended (in RFC 2142)
hostmaster (specified as
hostmaster.example.com), but it can be any valid email address that can ensure that you get the mail quickly. This also means you can respond equally quickly after taking any required remedial action, and earning yourself a Netizen of the Year Award.
The DNS system has worked well for more than 20 years, and it continues to work in spite of all kinds of unpleasant things thrown at it. Nevertheless, it is in our own self-interest to make sure we all play our part in trying to remove as much of the unpleasant stuff as possible. Because if real trouble arrives, as occasionally it does, the DNS infrastructure will have just a little bit more headroom to let it fix or absorb the problems and keep the Internet rolling along merrily, which is what we all want. A quiet life.

Secrets drive the plots of some of the best movies. Memories are erased, alibis are fashioned, characters are killed or imprisoned and Jedi knights are kept working on farms for far too long, all to keep us guessing, interested and watching. That being said, sometimes a secret is only as good as the writers' ability to cover huge gaps in logic -- gaps that, when you think about it, are so huge that you can drive a bus through them, such as how the hell no one figured out Bruce Wayne was Batman in the Dark Knight trilogy.
6The Dark Truth Behind Robert's Magic Trick in The Prestige
Robert Angier (Hugh Jackman) is a magician hell-bent on winning a battle of wits against a rival magician to see who can better perform a specific trick, because this is 19th century England and women would have sex with you for such a thing.
"No syphilis and magic tricks? Deal."
Robert commissions Nikola Tesla to build him what is essentially a teleportation device, with the hopes of using it to dazzle audiences with the greatest magic trick anyone has ever seen (and not, for some reason, to rob all of the banks in the world). The problem is, Tesla's machine makes a copy of whoever uses it, teleporting either the user or the copy in the process and leaving the other standing in the device like a jackass. Robert decides to go ahead and use it for the trick anyway, installing a trap door beneath the machine to drop whichever clone was unlucky enough to be left in the device into a water tank beneath the stage, drowning him like a contemporary orphan (because at this point of the movie, Robert's brain is plucking the screaming bowstrings of insanity). This leaves only one Robert to take a bow after his apparent teleportation across the theater, and only one Robert to cash the subsequent paycheck.
"I'M ALIVE! Uh, I mean ... ta-daaaa!"
To keep the true nature of the trick a secret, Robert only hires blind stagehands and allows no one else backstage, and gets a new water tank for every performance. He has his blind employees cart out his floating dead Robert clones and store them in a warehouse, for reasons that are never adequately explained.
Perhaps because the greatest sin against nature is hiding your sin against nature.
OK, so when Robert books the theater for his Transported Man trick, he specifies that he'll be doing five performances a week for a total of 100 performances. That's 100 tanks over the course of 20 weeks. Where the hell is he getting all of them? There's no way to invoice that many tanks of that size and be subtle about it. And anyone who checks that order and reads a review of his magic show will immediately notice that not a single tank is being used onstage.
And it isn't like Robert is doing the trick once or twice before folding his tent like a gypsy to move to another town. He is performing his show five times a week in the same city for five damned months. He's parading his dark secret around in the open for anyone with half of a brain not poisoned by mercury from a yet-unregulated fishing industry to figure out. That's like hiding treasure in a box labeled "THIS IS NOT WHERE THE TREASURE IS." Moreover, Tesla, the guy who built the machine for him, knows full well how the device actually works and is bound to hear about Robert's famous trick sooner or later. How long do you think it will take Tesla, one of the most famous geniuses in history, to deduce what Robert is up to?
5Charles Xavier's Whereabouts in X-Men: First Class
Persecution, racism and the right to anonymity are the underlying themes of the X-Men series. After all, a person's ability to melt buildings with their eye lasers or lift submarines out of the ocean with their mind is nobody's business but their own. This is why Charles Xavier decides to keep his school hidden from the government, because as the climax of X-Men: First Class demonstrates, people tend to overreact to things they don't quite understand.
Calling in Michael Ironside is nearly always an overreaction.
Up to this point in the film, however, both Xavier and Magneto have been working openly with the CIA to help take down a much more devastating threat to the world. In fact, they put together an entire team of mutants to help, and manage to work together fairly effectively until the government turns on them and tries to melt them into radioactive goo (see Michael Ironside, above).
As a result, Magneto vows to murder humanity and Xavier gets paralyzed and goes into hiding. His final scene takes place at his countryside battle mansion/training school, where he and CIA agent Moira MacTaggert discuss the fact that obscurity is the key to the X-Men's success.
While Moira insists that she would never reveal his whereabouts to the CIA, Xavier decides to make doubly sure by erasing the knowledge from her head with a memory-boiling mind laser.
If he can do that, why can't he use his superbrain to make his fucking legs work?
But how exactly is erasing Moira's memory going to keep the CIA off of Xavier's back? After all, he's been working for them for months, using his real name. They know everything about him -- his family, his field, where he went to school and the location of his mansion.
The final scene in the movie shows Moira's CIA superiors exasperated and seemingly helpless at her loss of memory ... but how could this be? Could their frustration really last any longer than a few minutes of grumbling and a demotion? After all -- they know exactly who Charles Xavier is. He's the wealthy, prominent mutant who worked for them for months under absolutely no disguise. We cannot stress that enough. He probably filled out a freaking W-2.
"If only we had some way to locate him using only his name and address ..."

Undetectable HBV DNA at month 12 of entecavir treatment predicts maintained viral suppression and HBeAg-seroconversion in chronic hepatitis B patients at 3 years
Wong GL, Wong VW, Chan HY, Tse PC, Wong J, Chim AM, Yiu KK, Chu SH, Chan HL. Aliment Pharmacol Ther. 2012 Apr 16. doi: 10.1111/j.1365-2036.2012.05098.x. [Epub ahead of print]
Institute of Digestive Disease, The Chinese University of Hong Kong, Hong Kong SAR, China; Department of Medicine and Therapeutics, The Chinese University of Hong Kong, Hong Kong SAR, China.
BACKGROUND: On-treatment monitoring of serum hepatitis B virus (HBV) DNA to guide treatment strategy for patients on entecavir has received little attention.
AIM: To investigate the predictive value of on-treatment HBV DNA levels for responses to entecavir.
METHODS: This was a retrospective cohort study among nucleos(t)ide analogue-naïve HBV-infected patients on entecavir with a minimum follow-up of 2 years. Maintained virological suppression was defined as undetectable HBV DNA (<20 IU/mL) until the last visit. Genotypic drug resistance was screened by using the INNO-LiPA DR assay.
RESULTS: A total of 440 chronic hepatitis B patients (160 HBeAg-positive) followed for 34 ± 9 months were included. The cumulative probability of maintained virological suppression at year 1, 2 and 3 were 76.5%, 83.0% and 88.3% respectively. On multivariate analysis, lower baseline HBV DNA, undetectable HBV DNA at month 12 and negative HBeAg were the independent predictors of maintained virological suppression. M12 responders (who had undetectable HBV DNA at month 12) had higher probability of maintained virological suppression at 3 years (99.1%) as compared to non responders (57.5%; P < 0.001). The cumulative probability of HBeAg-seroconversion at year 1, 2 and 3 were 19.0%, 27.2% and 33.5% respectively. M12 responders had higher probability of HBeAg-seroconversion at 3 years (43.2%) than the non responders (19.0%; P = 0.003). M12 responders had lower probability of drug resistance at 3 years (0%) than the non responders (2.6%; P = 0.004).
CONCLUSION: Month 12 HBV DNA responses could predict the probability of maintained virological suppression, HBeAg-seroconversion and risk of drug resistance among patients on entecavir treatment at 3 years.

We believe that fresh herbs are a natural and healthy way to add flavor to your everyday meals. Whether you are making a snack, cooking a quick and easy meal for your family, or making something more involved, the addition of fresh herbs will add that extra flavor to transform the taste. From organic living plants that are kept on your kitchen windowsill to fresh cut herb packages that are stored in your refrigerator, Shenandoah Growers offer the variety of flavors and package sizes that are needed to cook whatever it is you are taking the time to make.
Nothing enhances the flavor of food like organically grown herbs straight from the plant. Our living organic herbs are greenhouse grown in the Shenandoah Valley so you can enjoy fresh living herbs everyday. Kept on a kitchen counter or on a windowsill, these plants can provide garden-fresh herbs that are ready to be used at the home cook's convenience. And with their high natural oil content still at their most concentrated, our living culinary plants deliver a more intense flavor and a healthier product.
While living organic herb plants are useful for cooks who want to use a small amount of fresh herbs on a daily basis, fresh-cut herbs are the best option when a recipe calls for ¼ cup chopped, or more, of a single variety of fresh herb.
A fresh herb blend is a combination of three herbs that are commonly used to flavor a certain kind of dish or cuisine. Our carefully selected herb blends make it easy to quickly season dishes with the perfect combination of fresh herb flavor.
The "Latin flavor" fresh-cut herb line is composed of seven herbs frequently used in Latin cuisines. Accompanied by free recipes and product information written in Spanish, these fresh cut herbs are designed to appeal to the growing Latino market.
Shenandoah Growers offers a diverse line of specialty products from living greens for pets, mint julep kits, hydroponic basil and seasonal holiday products. We're always looking for new ways to engage the consumer with innovative and healthy products. Let us know if there's products you'd like to see.

The Dvorak Keyboard: Should I learn it?
The Dvorak keyboard layout is an alternative to the most common computer keyboard design, the QWERTY keyboard. You know that you are using the qwerty keyboard if the first six letters on the upper row of your keyboard spells Q-W-E-R-T-Y.
Why the different layouts? The QWERTY layout was designed first for the early typewriters. The Dvorak layout was designed to increase typing speed, decrease finger strain, and simplify typing. It is called the Dvorak Simplified Keyboard after Dr. August Dvorak, its inventor. While the Dvorak layout seems better suited to the needs of today, QWERTY remains most common. I won't go into depth because several other great articles cover the history:
- The Dvorak Zine – a fun and short read that tells the story of both keyboards using illustrations and graphics like a comic book.
- Wired.com Summary - A short and sweet summary from wired.com on the invention and use of the Dvorak keyboard.
- Dvorak Wikipedia Article – The full scoop
What bugged me the most about the Dvorak story was that it was a better keyboard design but we were too steeped in tradition to accept it. We were too lazy to learn a better way. After my research, I wanted to learn it but I needed to know how long it would take. I was afraid it would slow me down and hurt my performance at school or work. When I couldn't find any info, I decided to record my own data by and tracking my speeds from day to day. Here is the data I got (see below for my methodology).
Basically, it took me about 3 months to go from nothing up to speeds comparable with QWERTY. My average speed with QWERTY has dropped a bit (you can see the drop in the data but I didn't notice it as I typed). Now I can type both kinds equally and I am able to easily switch back and forth between them (it takes me a minute or less to reorient myself after switching). I imagine that my speeds will continue to improve as I continue to use them. Learning was challenging at first but became fun as I started to make progress. I know I would have learned it much faster had I not worked to stay sharp in both QWERTY and Dvorak. That was what slowed me down. Ultimately it was worth it though, because knowing them both seems to work best for me.
Am I glad I did it? Absolutely. I'd recommend it to anyone. It also feels good to cast my vote. It is a vote for research based design, for making our lives more efficient, and most of all… for mankind to learn better technologies instead of being too stubborn to change. The world is accelerating, and those who are unwilling to embrace change will soon be left in the dust.
Methodology: I ordered transparent keyboard stickers for the Dvorak layout to put on the keys of my laptop. After applying the stickers, I enabled keyboard layout switching on my laptop. I started going through the typing lessons at this website, spending maybe an hour each day until the lessons were done. Once the typing lessons were done, I chose to use Dvorak at home and QWERTY at work in order to practice them both each day. Each day I would go to typingtest.com to test my speed. I would randomly select three tests from their selection for both Dvorak and QWERTY. I would take the three tests, switch my keyboard layout, practice for a minute or two (to get used to the switch) and take the other three tests. I averaged the three test scores and plotted the values each day. I spent no other time practicing beyond the time I spent typing in my normal daily activities.
nice and concise report here. i agree with your dvorak learning philosophy, i'll give it a try myself! Have you continued using dvorak? Did your WPM still improve? Of course the biggest advantage of dvorak is not speed, but ergonomics.
very interesting, thanks
Nice post. It's especially refreshing to see someone actually take a systematic approach and document progress.
I would recommend windows users to try the on screen keyboard (Start -> All programs -> Accessories -> Ease of access on Win 7). No need to get stickers, and I find its easier than looking at the keyboard itself (no need to move your hands around to see the keys). Plus, if you switch back and forth, it'll tell you if you're in QWERTY or Dvorak.
I'm giving it a try, it does seem a lot easier to learn than I remember from learning QWERTY.
I'm at 50-60 with Qwerty and want to continue to go up. It is now 2012 (duh, I know), but has your speed gone past 60 WPM with Dvorak?
Wow this was very interesting! I am also thinking of switching my keyboard to Dvorak after my aunt told me about it. However I am rather fast at QWERTY and type a LOT at my college. (just finished 1st semester, yay!) So I am nervous that I might just mess up my typing abilities altogether. Did anyone else have problems with this? Or is it pretty easy to transition?
well done!!! i will tray the same!

On the set of 'The Carrie Diaries'.
This one is my favourite because it totally made me laugh out loud because it's so goofy.
Anyway, these are the first photos from the filming of The Carrie Diaries, filming outside Century 21 in New York. You know, seeing AnnaSophia 'in action' as Carrie, I can see it. The hair, the heels, the clothes, it looks like something that I'll absolutely be checking out. Do you want to see some more photos? I hope so, because I don't really have anything else to add to this post. Just… here's some photos, go on, have a look.
That's all.

Too much to write on the Civilization Games Wiki, where it doesn't quite fit. So it's now on a brand-new wiki, http://imperialism.wikia.com - where the many things that are not mentioned on the in-game Help screens can be covered by contributors with experience and/or access to a Manual.
It had a sequel, "Imperialism II: The Age of Discovery", which has more elements that will be familiar to players of "Colonization";
