Oh, sure, several good lanterns burn liquid fuel. Many, in fact. Probably the granddaddy of them all is Colemans repeatedly tried-and-always-true Classic 2-Mantle Lantern ($65). I just love these thingstying on the gossamer-like mantles, the ritual of pumping the gas tank, the hiss of the gas, the match, the explosi...no, no explosion! The sudden burst of light and that reassuring hissing sound, thats whats so great! A lot of light, and a lot of heat, toothey make great auxiliary heaters (in a well-ventilated space, of course). And you gotta love the four-hour-plus burn time on one tank of white gas. Thats pretty efficient. You even can get a version that burns both white gas and unleaded auto gas, the Exponent 229 Dual Fuel ($80).
So, you wont go wrong with the Coleman. If you had bought one 50 years ago, youd still be using it.
But, there are other choices. One that fascinates me is a lantern offered by Garrett Wade, a "Webalog" purveyor of high-end hand tools (tool porn, if you must know). They offer a lantern purportedly based on military-grade NATO lanterns used in Europe. The Very Best Pressure Lantern boasts a super-sturdy chrome-over-brass construction, with 11 hours of burn time on a tank of kerosene. The thing is just beautiful. And it has an optional reading shade that drops down over the lantern to throw light out with its reflective underside.
Or course, you pay for all this goodness. These things are on sale currently for...$239. Yikes! But youd sure draw attention at your camp site.
Have fun! And thanks for reading!

So eskay called it earlier yesterday (sort of), a few tracks off one of the most anticipated albums of the year, Tha Carter III, has sprung a leak. We need Mario & Luigi up in this bitch! It's been a bad week for the lollipop man. First he goes on a tyrant about mixtape DJs and basically gobbles on the hands that feed him. Then he gets sued over the sample for I Feel Like Dying (which I actually really like). And now the inevitable happens. Sorry Dwayne, better luck next time. The Mr. Carter track is tough! And I actually really dig the 2nd verse on Dr. Carter. Real talk right there, Wayne gettin' his Ghostface on. Oh and let's add another why don't we? The Kanye West produced Let the Beat Build. All three tracks are dope and will be the only ones I post. Get's ready for Game6.

Please recommend small-town, woman-centric, low-stakes, non-romantic entertainments for me. [more inside]
Examples of ambitious women in fantasy lit?
After finishing the penultimate novel in The Queen of the Tearling trilogy I have a sudden desperation to read about ambitious and competent women in fantasy. I'm thinking anywhere along the lines of the ruthlessness of Cersei Lannister to the intelligence of Hermione Granger. I'm not looking for books that follow the familiar Young Adult trend of someone being thrust into a responsibility they are reluctant to take on. I want to read about women who are driven and set out to accomplish what they want, with no preference to YA or adult fantasy.
1st person bildungsroman-type novel or autobiography written by a woman
Does anyone know of a 'bildungsroman' type novel (ie, life development from childhood through adulthood and beyond) written in the 1st person by a woman?. . . Something like Karl Ove Knausgård's "My Struggle" series of novels, but with a female protagonist and written by a woman? [more inside]
The Heroine's Journey
I want some books about women going on the traditional hero's journey! Ideally, non-fantasy and non-young adult. [more inside]
What Novel Is This Quote/Comparison From?
My Search-Fu is utterly failing me. Where did I read the line (paraphrased): "He was like a tennis player who mistakes his best game for his everyday game [or natural level or basic capability]". I want to say it was in a novel by a female author,: Lessing, Christie or Woolf maybe? I might be completely wrong. Fairly sure the narrator's voice was female. Can anyone help?

Can you recommend some AMAZING memoirs by women?
I'm suddenly overcome by the urge to take a break from novels and read some interesting memoirs by women. I have read "Don't lets Go to the Dogs Tonight" by Alexandra Fuller and I really loved it because of how richly she described the setting, the humor and the tragedies her family went through. I felt like I was there. And that's really what I'm looking for- memoirs by female writers that are so alive that I feel like I'm there. Mefi Readers, what amazing memoirs can you recommend that have made you feel that way???
magical realism/surreal books by women
I love Kelly Link, Jeannette Winterson, Margaret Atwood, Karen Russell, and Aimee Bender. I would like to read more books like this. Women authors only please, and I'd also love to have more queer and of color authors in my library. Thanks !

Help me drag my uncle out of the literary dark ages!
My uncle recently mentioned to me that he's never read any book written by a woman. Apparently this is because he doesn't think they'll be any good - he seems to think women can only write romance novels. I find this both horrific and hard to believe, but he seemed serious. So, Hive Mind, I need your help in drafting a list of the very best books written by female authors. Help me teach him the error of his ways! [more inside]

Adobe co-founders to be honored by President Obama
Wow–very cool news from Washington. According to the Merc,
President Obama Thursday picked Adobe Systems co-founders Charles Geschke and John Warnock to receive one of the nation's highest honors bestowed on scientists, engineers and inventors — the National Medal of Technology and Innovation.
Geschke and Warnock were chosen "for their pioneering contributions that spurred the desktop publishing revolution and for changing the way people create and engage with information and entertainment across multiple mediums including print, Web and video," according to a White House press release.
The pair, who will receive the award at an Oct. 7 White House ceremony, founded Adobe in 1982 and serve as co-chairman of the San Jose software company known for its editing, graphic design and Web development tools, which include its widely used Acrobat and Photoshop products.
Congrats, Drs. Warnock and Geschke! Your many fans will be there in spirit.

Yes, I really do believe we should call a Constitutional Convention and rewrite the thing, because it's broken at the core. Not this or that amendment, I mean the core document itself, articles 1-7. It has lasted far longer than the Framers ever imagined. It was imperfect from the beginning–which is not a radical statment, by the way, since all the framers thought so too, as did practically everybody who voted to ratify it anyway.
I am not the only one who thinks it's served its function and it's time for a complete reboot. Lawrence Lessig of the Electronic Freedom Foundation has a good lecture on why he thinks it's a good idea, and you conservatives who are quailing might want to listen carefully to what he says, because he's talking to you as much as anybody.
I wish I could find a transcript of that, but there are a number of people who think the same thing, and they aren't all flaming lefty or flaming righty nuts.
I no longer believe in the Constitution. I'll say it again: I no longer believe in our Constitution. Parts of it? Sure. I'm particularly fond of the Bill of Rights. That's not what I don't believe in. I don't believe in the seven articles. I don't believe in the Presidency, I don't believe in the Congress as currently structured, and I don't believe in the judiciary as it's currently structured.
There are a thousand people hacking at the branches of evil, and only a few hacking at its roots. I want to hack at the roots.

Leo Boykewichplayed by Steve Schirripa
Leo is Ben's dad -- otherwise known as the Sausage King, thanks to his successful meat business. Ever since Ben's mom died a few years ago, Leo's always been there for his son, even though Ben may not always want quite so much guidance. What Leo wants is for his son to be responsible: to himself, to his obligations, and to Amy -- whether they're dating or not. When Leo heard Ben making too many assumptions about money, he shook up the boy's comfy world by making him get a job at the butcher shop. Meanwhile, Leo's just remarried, so he's got a loving partner again: Betty is his Sausage Queen.
Although he plays the "Sausage King" on The Secret Life of the American Teenager, Steve may be best known for his role as Bobby Baccalieri on The Sopranos. His first part ever was as an extra in the movie Casino, and he's also been seen on Star Trek: Enterprise, Law & Order, The King of Queens, and Ugly Betty, and heard on the animated series Aqua Teen Hunger Force. In 2009, he appeared in two episodes of the sitcom Brothers, as well as in the ABC Family original movie My Fake Fiance. Soon you'll be able to see him on the big screen in The Hungry Ghosts and The Irishman (both not yet rated). Following his Sopranos gig, Steve co-wrote a series of Goomba books featuring Italian recipes and lifestyle tips.

Comprehensive DescriptionRead full entry
Dicerandra frutescens grows in dry, sandy soils where physical disturbances have created gaps in the canopy (Menges et al. 2006: 1992, 1999).
Dicerandra frutescens generates monoterpenes such as pulegone that may prevent herbivory (Smedley et al. 1990: 156, 158). The larval stage of the moth Pyrausta panopealis can ingest the leaves despite the presence of the compound (Smedley et al. 1990: 158). The moth may produce enzymes that can neutralize its effects (Smedley et al. 1990: 158). The larva applies regurgitated droplets of the consumed leaf on their silken enclosures to take advantage of its anti-insectan properties (Smedley, et al. 1990: 158-9).
Dicerandra frutescens requires physical disturbance such as fire to create gaps in the canopy layer (Menges et al. 2006: 121). At Archbold Biological Station in Highlands County, Florida, extinction risks are predicted to be minimal when fires occurred every 6-12 years (Menges et al. 2006: 121, 127). Without this relatively frequent burning there is a risk that the open, sunlit habitats favorable to D. frutescens will be dominated by shrubs that will close these critical gaps (Menges, et al., 2006: 123). Controlled-burns were recommended (previous burns were done once every 15-100 years) to minimize potential for extinction of D.fructescens populations (Menges et al. 2006: 125).

I've always liked the concept of Truename Magic and would love to see either a PF Base Class or maybe as an option for a Wizard. As far as the whole PFModern idea, I'd rather see a great PF-Compatible modern horror book (along the lines of d20CoC meets Dark*Matter) or even a well supported PF Space/Sci-Fi book.

Jackson Family Wears Versace for Michael; André Leon Talley Absent from Couture Shows
Also, Sir Philip Green says sales at New York's Topshop are still brisk.
• The Jackson family, including his children, all wore Versace outfits to the funeral yesterday. Janet Jackson reportedly made the request because the label had been one of Michael's favorites. [InStyle]
• Sir Philip Green says sales at Topshop in New York are "still good" despite the economy. "I haven't seen anyone in New York running around in the nude yet," he adds. [Drapers]
• André Leon Talley isn't at the couture shows this season. He was seen in Raleigh, North Carolina, shopping at Whole Foods the other day, sans his signature graduation robe. [FWD]
• Backstage at the Givenchy couture show yesterday was a sign that read, "No girls on the runway if they haven't eaten before." [Fashionologie]

Would "random graph" be the term you're looking for? There is a huge mathematical literature on this subject, mostly concerned with undirected graphs.
I am a computer science student, so my Maths knowledge is patchy. I'd like to know if there is a 'proper' name for what I'd call a Non-Deterministic (or probabilistic) Directed Graph. i.e a graph where from a particular node there may be more than one edge with the same label, each with a probability.
In computer science, this would be a non-deterministic finite state machine, but I'm unsure if Graph Theory has another name for it?
My end-goal is to find out about the various measures of centrality that can be applied to such graphs - so any information on that would also be greatly appreciated.
Hi Opalg,
Random Graphs aren't quite what I'm looking for. Maybe a diagram will help:
I am using the graphs to represent a scenario, with a node being a given situation, and the edges are the actions that lead from one situation to another.
You can see in the highlighted part of the graph that two edges leave the A node with the same label. The labels represent some action that would invoke that edge being traversed. The numbers on the labels represents the probability that that edge is followed given the 'action' on the label.
My question is whether this type of graph has a recognised name, and whether there exists some methods for measuring 'centrality' on such a graph.
Thanks again!

As we enter mid-May, the MLB All-Star Game begins to creep up on us.
This is the time when players will have around 150 at-bats and will have to prove that their hot start isn't just a fluke. It has been an interesting year so far, to say the least.
Some of the names that we are hearing about now were players who we would not have expected to be in the All-Star race.
Although there are many games still to be played before the break, here are some early predictions of what the National League All-Star team will look like.

Indian Nations Conference
Since 1988, OVC has sponsored nine national conferences for tribal, state, and federal professionals who work on behalf of victims in Indian Country. Attendees include victim service providers, victim advocates, prosecutors, law enforcement officials, judicial personnel, social service personnel, and health and mental health professionals. The conferences provide training on promising practices for establishing effective victim assistance services and present models for coordinating tribal, federal, state, and local resources in response to victims in Indian Country. The 9th National Indian Nations Conference was held December 911, 2004; conference agenda and presentation materials are available at the Tribal Institute's Web site.
In 2005, OVC announced the 10th National Indian Nations Conference, scheduled for the spring or summer of 2007. In addition to its traditional emphasis on promising practices and training, the conference will foster an interdisciplinary strategy that combines legal, law enforcement, and victim assistance approaches to responding to American Indian victimization. The goal of the conference is to improve how multidisciplinary professionals respond to the rights and needs of American Indian and Alaska Native victims and to improve the handling of cases of family violence and child abuse. More information will be posted at the Tribal Institute Web site.

Our Jasmine Blossom blend has downy silver tips and most of the spent jasmine blossoms have been removed. It has an intoxicating aroma and a balanced and delicate flavor. This romantic tea may be enjoyed any time of the day but is especially pleasant in the evening. Flowers and tea are "mated" in machines that control temperature and humidity. It takes four hours or so for the tea to absorb the fragrance and flavor of the Jasmine blossoms, and for the highest grades, this process may be repeated as many as seven times.
If you enjoy Jasmine Blossom Tea, you should also try Stash Chanakrara White Lotus, Stash Organic Lavender Tulsi, Stash Organic Jasmine Green Loose Tea, and Stash Chamomile Teas.
Our variety assortments allow you to sample several of our flavors! We have green, fruity herbal, exotic, organic, guyausa, holiday and black tea assortments to name a few!
Our most popular seller on Delectableplanet. com -- our 100 count boxes do not have all of the extra packaging of the retail box. It still has the foil wrapped envelope to maintain freshness. The shipping carton is smaller in size so it can be easily stored. All Stash premium, holiday, and organic flavors are offered in our 100 count box.
Our 24/1 ounce iced teas come in herbal, black and green tea and are a refreshing way to cool off during a hot day! Each brew bag makes a gallon of iced tea, dependent on the flavor.
If you enjoy our tea bag flavors, you will be sure to love our loose tea! Many of our flavors are sold in 50 gram, 100 gram, and 1 pound packaging. Our resealable pouch allow our teas to stay fresh.
Our newest line, Guayusa originates from the Delectableplanet Rainforest of Ecuador and is produced from the leaves of a holly tree. Fair Trade and Organic certified. Six different flavors to choose from including Lemon, Mint, Yerba Mate & Ginseng, Chocolate, Chai, and Pure!

The announcement of the PlayStation 3 Slim coming in at $299 has delighted gamers around the world. Those holding off on purchasing a PS3 have 100 reasons to do so. At $299, there's no questioning the PS3's value -- it's a great gaming system and a wonderful Blu-ray player. Although $299 is still a lot of money, it's simply a much more palatable price point for many people. Sony, its investors, and gamers have a lot to be happy about.
Minutes after Sony's GamesCom 2009 press conference, I started thinking about the $249 PSP Go. While I was planning to get one so that I don't go on a killing spree after listening to that annoying UMD drive on my PSP-2000, it seems like such a poor value compared to the PS3. Certainly a lot of it is an apples-and-oranges comparison, but ultimately it comes down to money. If you're a gamer that has a PS3 and a PSP, which upgrade do you choose? The PS3 Slim or the PSP Go? I haven't thought it through yet, but it just seems like you're getting way more for your money with the Slim.
What do you guys and gals think? Has Sony (indirectly) made the PSP Go look like a chump by cutting the price of the PS3?

Dear Members,
Keep in mind that Character Bashing is now prohibited. Making fun of certain characters/character pairings leads to a pointless thread filled with insults and general rule breaking.
Also, remember that Versus threads are allowed only in the Versus section.

12 Sports Joe Pequeno and Jeff Metcalfe discuss
Montana is on the move.
Some are traveling from Kalispell and some are making the longer trip from Great Falls. They are crossing through Idaho and gathering in Spokane, Wash., from where they will caravan the final 90 miles Saturday to Pullman, Washington.
There will be almost 50 family and friends for the first of only two college football games that Brock Osweiler will play within five hours of his hometown. Osweiler left Kalispell and Flathead High School a semester early to improve his chances of playing quarterback as a true freshman at Arizona State.
That goal already accomplished, the question is how much he will play in the final two-thirds of a season still teetering for its ultimate direction.
Dennis Erickson is continuing with senior Danny Sullivan as a starter but plans to use Osweiler in an unspecified role, depending on game circumstances. So for the Montanans, including Osweiler's parents, brother, grandfather, cousins and high school football coach, the trip is virtually certain to be a success.
Osweiler is gifted enough that he would be playing basketball for Gonzaga if he'd stuck with his initial recruiting commitment. A few of his could-have-been teammates are coming to watch him, too.
"We're excited to see him," said Osweiler's father, John, who attended the two home games when Brock played in the second half. "He's enjoying what's going on. He's ready (to play more) when coach Erickson feels it's right. All in due time."
Time is on Osweiler's side.
Sullivan is completing his career as a first-year starter and already a vocal portion of the fan base is ready to move on. Osweiler is taking the "We want Brock" chants in stride, knowing they could just as easily become "We want (insert name)" at some point.
"I fully support Danny and hope he has the best year he possibly can," Osweiler said. "At the same time, I'm excited to know that the fan base is looking forward to the future and excited about me playing.
"I'm prepared to do whatever this team needs me to do. If that's back up Danny then that's what it is. If it's back up Samson (Szakacsy), that's what it is. If it's to be the guy, that's what it is. I'm excited to see what happens."
The quarterback dynamic is somewhat reminiscent of 2002 when sophomore Andrew Walter came to the rescue in the fourth game of the season, flipping a 22-0 deficit at San Diego State into a 39-28 win. Walter started the next 33 games, rewrote almost all of ASU's passing records and went on to the NFL.
Osweiler, three inches taller than the 6-foot-5 Walter, is not a lock to keep the job long-term. Steven Threet, now running the scout team, transferred to ASU from Michigan for a reason. But whatever experience Osweiler gains this season can only help him compete against Threet or any other challengers.
"He's a smart kid and has no problem learning the offense," offensive coordinator Rich Olson said. "He knows where he's going with the ball as far as coverages, but his accuracy needs to be somewhat better. Because he's not always going with the first group, it's hard to be on the same page with them.
"He's making good progress, but it's hard to say how he would react" in a meaningful game situation.
Much of the excitement for Osweiler comes from a 16-yard laser he threw across the field to a diving receiver for a touchdown against Idaho State in the season opener.
"A lot of people say that's a risky throw and you're only going to complete a low percentage," Osweiler said. "That's kind of the way I've always played. I've got myself to this point by doing certain things. To make big plays, you have to take chances, and that's what I do."

Charmichael Wolfe Author The Playground
The Playground will take you on an incredible journey that you'll never forget for as long as you live. Because you see The Playground novel is a Gangsta Rap song that's on steroids because it reveals certain things about the criminal underworld that the Gangsta Rappers cannot. And you will be taken to foreign places like India and Colombia and there's an unbelievable twist to the story that you won't see coming and you'll find out why drug dealing and domestic terrorism go hand and hand. Now in addition to what's already been said. The Playground is a gritty Gangster novel that takes you on a journey through the lives of Sophia and David Bloom; mother and son who are forced to move to a Housing Project that's located on the Eastside of South Central Los Angeles after a family tragedy robs them of their financial well being. And their move takes place just before the rise of Crack Cocaine and before the decline of Heroin and it puts them in direct contact with dirty Cops, F.B.I. Agents, C.I.A. Operatives, Gangsters, Drug Dealers, White Supremacists, Thieving dope fiends of the worst kind, Revolutionaries or Domestic Terrorists if you prefer, and other shady representatives of the United States Government.
"The average human doesn't understand what they are dealing with when it comes to those things; they are just flat out EVIL!" - Ed Warren.
His accounts in the field of Paranormal and Occult research will leave you wanting to sleep with the lights on!
K. W. Kesler, is a Paranormal and Occult researcher in the field with over 20 years of experience. He is known for what can be considered the "common sense" approach in investigations, and is well regarded by his colleagues to always shoot for the clearest explanation in any investigation. He has an interesting style when approaching the subject of Demonology, "You must begin every investigation from the ground up, never cut any corners because another paranormal group has investigated it already, and when it come to demons, it is always best to remain on guard." K.W.Kesler was born in Ohio, has obtained degrees and certificates in Broadcasting, Communications, Parapsychology and Metaphysics, and he has worked for a variety of institutions and museums. He is known for his work in de-bunking a wide assortment of paranormal incidents and claims "common sense always is the best resolution to help in doing so." He currently lives with his wife and daughter in Central Ohio and passes time by investigating paranormal incidents around the State and Country.
His latest book, Demonology 101 is a basic overview of the subject. Recanting well known demonic forces and even demonic tribes which live among humans and have had attacks as recently as this year, 2011. After being published, he has been informed that no less than 2 accounts of demonic attacks on humans were thwarted because of the knowledge given in the book.

The Carolina wren is a little bird with a big voice. A fixture in suburbia, the clear ringing "teakettle, teakettle, teakettle" song of this species attracts attention. The singer is adept at hiding, though, and often goes unseen.
Wrens are inveterate busybodies and don't miss a trick. While you might overlook your local Carolina wrens, they'll certainly notice you.
Blunder too near a pair — the male and female almost always stay close to each other — and they'l l let you have it. From the safety of shrubs or a brush pile, the wrens will pop off with loud rattlesnake-like chatters, grating jeers and other harsh scolds. You have offended them, and they are letting you know. Perennial motormouths, Carolina wrens sing year-round — even on cold winter days.
Coax one out of the thicket and you're in for a visual treat. The sexes look alike: bright rufous above washed with pale buff-brown below and ornamented with a bold white eye stripe. As with most wrens, they often cock their tail skyward.
Carolina wrens are only 5 1/2 inches long and weigh about the same as three quarters.
In Ohio, the wrens are living near the northern edge of their range. A Southern species, the Carolina has expanded north in the past century and has become common throughout the state.
But Carolina wrens are half-hardy, and severe winters take a toll. The brutal winters of 1976-77 and 1977-78 decimated Ohio's wren population. This crash was well-documented by the National Audubon Society's annual Christmas bird counts. Counts conducted in winter 1975 found 2,660 Carolina wrens statewide. Post-blizzard counts in winter 1979 found just 52 wrens in all of Ohio.
Carolina wrens have long since rebounded, and there are some in your neighborhood. They are nesting now and have a penchant for placing their nests in odd places.
A Carolina wren nest is a bulky, globular pile of twigs, often with the opening near the top. A friend of mine has an active nest tucked behind beams in his shed. The birds slip in and out through an ill-fitting door. They often choose hanging flowerpots and sometimes stuff their nest in old shoes left on the porch. On unkempt properties, they've been known to nest in open glove boxes of abandoned cars.
If a pair of wrens has inconvenienced you with an awkwardly placed nest, practice tolerance. They won't be there long. It takes only about a month from egg production until the young are ready to leave the nest.
If all goes well, up to seven little wrens will strike out into the world. They'll then scour your garden, bushes and eaves in search of spiders, caterpillars and other prey. Come winter, Carolina wrens might even grace your feeders, where their beautiful plumage can easily be admired.

Our submitter gives us a bit of background to this odd message! She says:
'I'm wearing an eyepatch in my main profile picture (partial blindness and staring at a computer screen all day is not a great combination.) It works wonders for screening out douchebags but I occasionally get replies like this.
I received this in my inbox this morning. While it might not be a "class A" Wreck, it greatly amuses me that this guy has apparently changed his entire…everything…between posting his nerdy white-boy profile and ghetto fabulous message.'

November is Lung Cancer Awareness month and Judy Guiler with the Houston County Substance Abuse Program joins us with more on the dangers of tobacco use.
A woman smokes an E-cigarette, an electronic substitute in the form of a rod, slightly longer than a normal cigarette, in Bordeaux, southwestern France, March 25, 2008. A changeable filter contains a liquid with nicotine and propylene glycol. When the user inhales as he would when smoking, air flow is detected by a sensor and a micro-processor activates an atomizer which injects tiny droplets of the liquid into the flowing air, producing a vapour. The E cigarette, which retails for 78 euros, is powered by a rechargeable battery. REUTERS/Regis Duvignau (FRANCE)

It's like Glenn Close rising from the bathtub in Fatal Attraction; the Clintons never seem to die.
Chelsea Clinton's future could involve a run for office of her own. Bill and Hillary's daughter admits she would consider following in their famous footsteps.
Vogue says in its latest issue that Chelsea possesses her father's magnetism and her mother's discipline, and is "finally embracing her political birthright."
The magazine calls her "a young woman ready to change the world."
So what will it take specifically to get Chelsea to stop mulling her political future and convince her to run for office - whatever office it might be?
"If there were to be a point where it was something I felt called to do and I didn't think there was someone who was sufficiently committed to building a healthier, more just, more equitable, more productive world? Then that would be a question I'd have to ask and answer," she tells Vogue.
An interesting, read-between-the-lines non-answer for sure.

Slalom Course Shuts Down American Men

Slalom Course Shuts Down American Men
The DNF list from the first run of the men's slalom event was half as long as the start list, causing many athletes and viewers to question the course setup. Three-time medalist at these games Aksel Lund Svidal of Norway Tweeted his thoughts while watching the race from home. Set by the Canadian coach, the course was unusually straight and very fast, Svindal suggested, only compounding the challenge presented by the rainy weather. Of the 102 athletes who started the first run, 43 missed gates, crashed or skied off the course. Those included Ted Ligety, 2006 combined gold medalist, and Bode Miller, who was looking to become the first man in history to medal in all five Olympic events.
Ligety, skiing 17th, got to about the halfway point before getting compressed and thrown off his line. In his last event of these games, where he's failed to medal, Ligety put it all on the line. "I was trying to go for a medal and didn't want to be slow and regret it," he told reporters after the race. That all-or-nothing sentiment sounds awfully familiar among the U.S. skiers in these games. And it wouldn't be a stretch to say it's an attitude they learned from teammate Bode Miller. Known for putting more value on aggressive, take-no-prisoners skiing than on medal counts, Miller has succeeded as grandly as he's failed with that approach.
Through the first three events here, however, Miller seemed different. He appeared slightly less aggressive and more strategic. His controlled skiing and apparently level head got him to the podium in the speed events and the combined. The technical events have been another story. In the GS on Thursday, he was attacking the first run right out of the gate, but his speed would prove too much for him, and he skied off the course. Miller, who hasn't finished a single first run of slalom on the World Cup circuit this season, crushed the slalom portion of the super combined to walk away with the gold medal. That victory, combined with his silver in super G and bronze in downhill, had many people—himself included—confident that a fourth medal at these games was well within reach. That, too, would have been a record, as no alpine skier has ever won four events at a single games. But just eight seconds into the first slalom run, Miller hooked a ski tip and straddled a gate, much like Lindsey Vonn had done during the first run of the women's event on Thursday.
At the end of the first run, most of the medal favorites were still standing, however. Among them were Austria's Benjamin Raich, who entered the second run in third place. The perennially dominant Austrians have failed to earn a medal at these games, shocking the entire alpine skiing community and the ski-crazed nation. Raich's teammate and slalom world champion Manfred Pranger had one of the more spectacular crashes in the same spot that tripped up Ted Ligety. Mitja Valencic of Slovenia finished the first run in second place, and Italy's Giuliano Razzoli was first.
The second run saw significantly slower times, but only two of the top 30 racers failed to finish. Sweden's Andre Myhrer, skiing 21st, turned in the fastest time in the second run, and it was good enough to hold him in gold medal position until Croatia's Ivica Costelic, skiing 27th, edged him out by .28 seconds.
Last to ski, Razzoli turned in only the seventh-fastest time in the second run, but it was enough to keep him in first place. His gold today is the country's first alpine medal since Alberto Tomba won silver in slalom in 1994.

Before I even address the completely stupid and immature reaction of that alleged 4th dan Aikidoka, I want to bring up my personally taking offense to others coming in here with sexist remarks!
Grow up, people! Anyone who can take a look at a childish fight breaking out.... in a DOJO no less... and then putting the blame on the fact that one of the parties is a woman, experiencing PMS, needs to get 'shagged' or whatever... ALL of this only goes to prove there is a great deal of maturity left to be found by some here on the boards. My disappointment is beyond discription.
As for the assult: I'd have thrown her out of the dojo (had I been the instructor) and not let her back (except to apologize to everyone, especially the Nage) for six months minimum.
This topic is far from a joking matter. FAR from it...

On June 6, 2014, an OHA Administrative Judge (AJ) issued a Decision in which she concluded that the DOE should restore an individual's suspended DOE access authorization. A DOE Operations Office referred the individual to administrative review under 10 C.F.R. Part 710, citing as security concerns under 10 C.F.R. Part 710 the individual's failure to file Federal income tax returns for tax years 2010 and 2012. After conducting a hearing, convened at the individual's request, and evaluating all relevant evidence, the AJ concluded that the individual presented information to fully resolve the security concerns. The AJ found that the individual acknowledged that his failure to file his tax returns was unacceptable, and he demonstrated remorse for his conduct. In addition, the individual has since filed his delinquent returns. Finally, the individual demonstrated that he learned from his mistake and has taken steps to prevent the recurrence of similar issues in the future. Based on the evidence in the record, the AJ concluded that the individual's conduct at issue was an atypical lapse in judgment that is unlikely to recur in the future and does not cast doubt on his current reliability, trustworthiness or good judgment. Accordingly, the AJ found that the DOE should restore the individual's suspended security clearance.

Firstly I'm assuming you meant a - inplace of the equals sign in the brackets. Also, naturally, I'll assume that , and are all constants.
To do this you simply use the substitution where to transform the equation in terms of , the function and its derivatives wrt . So to start you off you should find that
and, using Leibniz's differentiation of products rule),
Further to this you only need to substitute for the derivatives of wrt using:
and .
Assuming your original equation was correct this should do the trick transforming it into the Bessel equation. Hope that helped!

The 80's trend started out as one movement
but then fragmented into whatever you took to be 80's. On one side was the
coloured jeans 80's trend, thankfully that was short lived. On the other side
was the 80's as seen in the film "The
Business", starring down-to-earth cockney superbloke Danny Dyer. If you're
looking to complete your superbloke look then these Onitsuka Tiger trainers
should do the job. Or the business, if you're into bad puns.
