Here are the effective nuclear charges, Zeff, for the valence electrons of four different atoms. 1.30, 1.95, 2.60, 3.25 In order, these values could belong to what list of elements?
Sr, Ca, Mg, Be
Be, Mg, Ca, Sr
C, B, Be, Li
Li, Be, B, C
Here are the effective nuclear charges, Zeff, for the valence electrons of four different atoms. 2.20, 2.20, 2.20, 2.20 These values could belong to what list of elements?
Na, K, Rb, Cs
Na, Mg, Al, Si
To estimate Zeff, compare the number of protons to the number of inner electrons in an atom. Look for trends in how the estimates change from one atom to the next in each list.
no idea
This seems complicated, but it's easier than you'd think. Your given a list of elements, and it states that the effective nuclear charge will be in the order given. The easiest way to solve this problem is to solve the first element, and see if it's Z eff is 1.30, and then check the following elements.
It's easiest to do this by listing the electron configuration for each of the elements. I'll do this with Li as an example, and let you solve for the rest.
Li: 1S2, 2S1
Remember that we set up Slater's rule formula like this:
(atomic #)-[(o.35(Valence shell -1)+0.85(Next level down)+1(remainder)]
The atomic number of Li is 3.
Li has 1 electron in its valence shell.(2S1)
Li also has 2 electrons on the next level down. (1S2)
After these shells are accounted for, zero are remaining.
our formula is then set up:
3-[0.35(1-1)+0.85(2)+1(0)] = 1.30
Li fits the first charge of the charges given.
Repeat this process in the next elements, and in the following equation to find the effective nuclear charge.
To help you, the correct answer is:
Part A: Li, Be, B, C
Part B: Na, K, Rb, Cs
But be sure to do the work yourself to understand how Slater's rule works.
A more difficult element that isn't listed, for a reference look at Iodine (I).
I's atomic number is 53.
I has 7 electrons in it's valence shell (5S2, 5P5).
I has 18 electrons on the next level down (4S2, 4D10, 4P6).
I has 28 remainder electrons on its core shell's.
our formula is then set up:
53-[0.35(7-1)+0.85(18)+1(28)] = 7.6
7.6 is Iodine's effective nuclear charge, if I did my math right, found by using Slater's rule.
How would you know how to do this problem without knowing Slater's rule? we've yet been taught that rule so I'm not sure how else I would figure it out.

Ive been thinking more and more about crate racing next season, and im really wanting to do it...just wondering, around how much money on average does it cost to go racing every weekend.
-race entry
-how much fuel do you use in your race car
-how long do tires usually last ya
the little stuff that I am leaving out also include that. Thanks everyone in advance!

The Lookout Doggie Car Seat is AWESOME! I bought my first one 14 years ago and, over time, upgraded to a larger size. The car seat allows the driver to pay attention to driving and not be concerned about their doggie passenger. Doggie is riding on a comfortable seat and is raised in order to see outside. My first Dachshund loved to ride in his Lookout car seat...this one is for my second Dachshund! I am looking forward to taking him for his first ride on Christmas day!

What a unique announcement that came yesterday at Dale Earnhardt Day in Mooresville, N.C. Dale Jr. will team up in a collaboration between Richard Childress Racing, JR Motorsports, DEI and Wrangler to honor Dale Earnhardt's Hall of Fame induction by driving the #3 Wrangler Jeans Chevrolet Impala in the upcoming Subway Jalapeno 250 powered by Coca-Cola NASCAR Nationwide Series race in July at Daytona International Speedway.
"This was an idea that came up as a way to pay tribute to my Dad, and it's pretty cool that it's a collaborative effort between JR Motorsports, RCR and DEI," said Earnhardt Jr. "The Wrangler car is definitely in the top-10 of coolest cars that have ever been on the race track. A lot of people identify with it, and I can't think of a better way to honor my dad and celebrate his induction into the NASCAR Hall of Fame than to bring the Wrangler colors back with the No. 3 on the side, similar to the 'Wrangler Jean Machine' scheme of the 80s. I think it will be worth seeing, and I'm looking forward to driving it at Daytona."When I say unique, mean unique, as I never thought that I would see the day that all 4 organizations would team up in this caliber to run a Nationwide Series race. I mean sure the JR Motorsports and Wrangler doesn't surprise me as Dale Jr. and Wrangler have a personal contract nor does JRM, Wrangler and RCR, but the addition of DEI, there's the surprise.
The only area that I don't care for is it's on this new Nationwide Series COT Chevrolet Impala. I'm disappointed in Chevrolet for not bring the new Chevrolet Camaro to the Nationwide Series, that would have been picture perfect, but in this collaboration, the Impala is the only thing that they had to work with.
And even more, thank god that they didn't use the #3 black GM Goodwrench retro paint scheme, I just believe that several fans including myself wouldn't have been that excited about it.
I'm still on the fence about seeing anybody running a black #3 Goodwrench retro paint scheme in what is now called the Sprint Cup Series or the Nationwide Series. I'm still that type of fan right now that doesn't want to see the black #3 back in the Cup Series for a long time.
Now I'm just looking forward to seeing the Nationwide Series race in July at Daytona, it should be a shootout under the lights for sure.

Jesse was never one to go anywhere without
making a good impression on everyone he met. His sudden death in a tragic car accident
in Africa brought his family and friends together in a celebration of his life. They came from all over: Africa,
Canada, and the US. The church was filled with people who knew that Jesse had made a difference in their lives, in the lives of the children, and in the hearts of his loved ones.
Jesse volunteered with the Peace Corps to help educate
children in Guinea, Africa. Guinea is a very poor and complex country where tribalism is strong. Each tribe that Jesse worked with wanted him to commit to one or the other.
Jesse would not surrender to tribalism when he took an African name, and he wanted a tribal last name. Each of the two tribes in which he taught insisted that he choose their name. Rather than choose, he married the tribes' two names into one.
Jesse was a light to all who knew him.
We will always remember the joy and love he brought to his work, to his family, to his friends. The people who loved Jesse are planning to build a school in Guinea in his honor. So his work continues...

sharing CDF without plugin??
I saw somewhere that Wolfram research is working to eventually make
CDF files to be shared without the need of plugin. Can anyone tell me
when that will happen?
Question 2: Is there a way to allow import/export of files in CDF? Or
is the import/export functionality available in webMathematica?
Thank you very much! Happy new Year!

Happy Stump Day, hampers!
Today's card project was created for Studio L3's Grungy Monday, #39. This week, the challenge, sponsored by Simon Says Stamp, is to create a plaid pattern on card stock using alcohol inks following Tim Holtz's technique on 'The 12 Tags of Christmas, 2009, Day 3." You can see Linda's sample and read all about the challenge, HERE ... to see Tim's projects and to check out the tutorial, clicky HERE.
Things were not going well for me with this challenge and after several attempts, I decided to throw in the towel ... can't create 'em all! While swiping off the excess alcohol inks from my felt pad, I created the above pattern and decided I loved it ... a happy accident! And I much prefer this delicate plaid to other, bolder patterns.
I'm entering this card in a number of fab blog challenges; for the complete list please refer to the bottom of this post. And for all of the exciting product info, check out the Card Recipe, below.
Soooooo, yesterday I was hanging out with Sheila when her crazy sister, Jill, stopped by with a question:
"How many rolls of wallpaper did you say you bought for your bedroom?"
"Twelve." Sheila answered.
"Well, that's weird," Jill mused, "I measured and our rooms are almost exactly the same size so I bought twelve rolls for my bedroom too, but I've got five rolls left over!"
"Yeah," said Sheila. "I did too."
Thanks so much for spending part of your busy day with me!

Joe Castrucci
Interview by Christian Senrud
2013 has been a year for change if nothing else. Pros who have long been synonymous with their sponsors are packing up and leaving in hopes of starting anew. They're starting up their own brands on their own terms, and picking up skateboarders from other companies left and right. It's nothing new. It's just another turn in the winding river of skateboarding's history, and few know this better than Joe Castrucci, who has both lured people away from their established sponsors and who has felt that same sting now that a few of his own have departed for new horizons. But like the true Midwesterner he is, Castrucci handles it with a level head. "I think once someone's heart is out of something, there's no reason to try to keep them in it," he says. "No one's ever quit because of money. I feel like the only times it's happened, it's been pretty reasonable." With the year nearing its end, we caught up with Castrucci to talk about his 15 years with the Sovereign Sect, recent changes at DNA and his time at Alien Workshop, and running his own company, Habitat Skateboards.
Is being from Ohio what drew you to the mid-century style of art that has always been synonymous with Habitat?
Yeah, I think so, just the resistance here to adapt. I mean, in the '80s when I was soaking in the most stuff and noticing the most things and being the most observant, in Ohio that stuff was still everywhere. Our high schools, all the books, our library had that cool kind of imagery. Then also, [Mike] Hill was a huge influence because he was the art director at the Workshop and he was really into pictograms and simplistic stuff. At first, I was just trying to do stuff that matched the Workshop since this was before Habitat.
What do you think about other brands mimicking Habitat's style?
I just think designers all pull for the same era. There's definitely some people that copy, but also a lot of people pull from that 1950s to mid-'70s time period. It's hard to not see that stuff as being so aesthetically pleasing, and I think a lot of people might feel the same way about it. As far as video stuff, I think people probably copy more. I don't know that there's any way to avoid that though.
Was it tricky starting Habitat and trying to get your dream team while not stepping on the toes of other companies?
Yeah, definitely. It was also the time, though, where people were stealing people a lot, so it was definitely dramatic and it was definitely a big deal back then, but also that's kind of the way it's always worked. I don't think it happens as much anymore. It does, just not as much.
"Every bit of music you listened to, everything you looked at, everything that you surrounded yourself with was all stuff that in some way was feeding into ideas."
It does seem like it's coming full circle this year, where things are all up in the air again with Dill and AVE leaving and BA going to do his own new thing.
It definitely is, but it seems like people sort of stayed in place for about a decade. But yeah at that time it was sketchy and it was a gamble, definitely, for everyone who quit to ride for us.
Within five years at DNA, you already had two full-length videos under your belt. What was the biggest thing you learned while making Photosynthesis and Mosaic?
That it took complete commitment. Every bit of music you listened to, everything you looked at, everything that you surrounded yourself with was all stuff that in some way was feeding into ideas. I don't think I listened to a single song that I wasn't thinking could be in any of those videos. It's all-consuming, so your personal life, your skateboarding, everything kind of has to be second to these projects.
Is there anything that still to this day you think, "Man, I wish I had chosen this song or tweaked this clip a certain way"?
I think all of them got cut short because you start out with this gigantic idea, you know? And it's just a skate video really, but when skateboarding is your whole life and skate videos are your whole life, there's nothing you can think of that's more exciting than compiling imagery for a skate video. I would always start off, and the first part and the intro always got the most attention, and by the time you got to the midway point you're just like, "Oh my God, I got three weeks left," which is insane—the duration of a skate video and the fact that people edit them in one month or two months is just crazy. So I think all of them were rushed. Every one of them. All of them could have been really good. It's harder to watch now, pretty much any one of them, just because I can see how much was rushed.
But they all hit the mark, Photo and Mosaic especially.
I appreciate that. There were definitely a lot of people working on them too. Still, the crunch is pretty crazy, because at the same time we're crunching those videos, we're also worried about product and ads. I would say that's the main thing I notice, there was just way more potential.
"I don't know what skate companies are supposed to be over a long period of time."
How did Dill's intro to Photosynthesis come about?
One day at the Workshop in Dayton, [Chris] Carter called Dill and the call was to supposed to be to put the heat on Dill to get footage for the video because we wanted him to have last part. So Hill took a recorder out and recorded the full conversation over speakerphone. It was like an hour-long conversation; it was crazy. I had a house in Clifton and I was full bunkered down editing the video and Hill came and stayed with me for a week. We were working on it fully and were talking bout Dill's part and somehow started talking about the recording, so we listened to it and it was super funny. We weren't sleeping; we were delirious. Somehow Hill had all these photos that McGrath shot and some photos he found from his school and there was a photo of that business guy that was on a slide and we started looking at it and went, "What if that was Carter?" and we started cracking up. It all just came together, so I sat in the room and edited his hour-long conversation down to an intro. Then Hill scanned all the pictures of the businessman and all these pictures [Giovanni] Reda had shot of Dill with the broken telephone, and we assembled it. I put photos of the business guy over the voice of Carter just to be ridiculous and the footage of Dill in his bedroom where it's all messy. I shot that Super 8 on my first trip to LA. It just all came together, just perfect timing. We were cracking up the whole time being delirious editing the video.
Do you have a favorite video part you've worked on?
I like the intros to all of them [laughs]. The first seven minutes is usually my favorite. You can compile everyone together, which is cool, everyone's style. And then you don't have to worry about picking a song for a skater that they like because you can pick a song that you like for yourself because it's the intro. I guess for a skate video, for someone who's making one, it's the only part you hypothetically have the most control over. The intro for Inhabitants might be my favorite—I like the titles and the song and all that stuff.
With that title, Inhabitants Of A World In Decline, it had a broader social commentary. Do you think things have improved at all or are we still on the steady downward spiral?
I just think it's a slow decline, but I always thought of it as that being the way it is. I'm not complaining about it, but I just think it was cool that there we're just this group of people and in this time period.
With Dill and AVE leaving Workshop and the deal with La Jolla, there's been a lot of rumors about DNA. Would you care to comment about what them leaving means, if anything?
I can only speak from my point of view as being from a kind of coming-of-age time period with both those dudes in skating where AVE and me and Dill all started on the Workshop at the same time. I'm really close with them. We made Photosynthesis, traveled, and I have good relationships with those guys. People get older. It's been a long time. I think at some point people just want to do things that they have to do to prove to themselves that they can do them. What are they going to be, in their 40s riding for the Workshop? I think it was just Dill's time to choose to do his own thing and prove to himself that he could do it. It is what it is. I don't know what skate companies are supposed to be over a long period of time. I don't think it's that crazy for him to leave, it's just how things happen.
"I think once someone's heart is out of something, there's no reason to try to keep them in it."
In 15 years with the Sovereign Sect, what is your best Fred Gall story?
I don't know, man, I haven't traveled with Fred in a while, but I definitely have in the past and I've seen some crazy stuff. I wasn't there, but I think the best one was when they were in Thailand, and I'm sure Fred was drunk, and a Buddhist temple caught on fire, so wasted Freddy got into it and carried monks out. If that's a true story, that's amazing.
It is true.
Is there any chance that there will ever be a DNA box set?
That would be really hard, especially Inhabitants and Photosynthesis. I'd say almost impossible.
What's been the hardest lesson to learn while working at DNA?
The hardest lesson to learn is things you like, things the team likes, and things that you feel like represent the brand the most sometimes don't sell, so you have to balance it. As much as a creative person you don't care if something sells, you still got to pay for these trips, pay these pros, pay for music licensing, and all that. Finding a way to balance bringing money in and also creating cool stuff is always hard. I don't know if people totally understand that struggle. The whole commerce versus creativity thing is always really difficult. You end up with 50-percent of the stuff you make, it's not stuff you 100-percent believe in, but you do your best to make it match the brand, and sometimes you end up with something surprisingly cool. It's whatever, the cliché, the double-edged sword about business and art. Sometimes you'll surprise yourself—you'll be given these parameters to sell something to somebody or a product category that you're not totally psyched on and it gives you this weird motivation to make it as cool as you can given those guidelines and you end up with something that's actually pretty sick.
People getting older is also always a bummer. I never thought I'd see the first generation of Habitat skaters not skateboarding. I never thought that would happen. Not that that's something bad. People just get older and do it less. That's a weird thing to experience, though. You think of your team as a tribe, and then you end up having to get more people to replace people who aren't skating, or kick people off, or people quit. That's always hard for me. You just do your best and try to be fair, but that stuff is difficult.
Was it a big hit when Mark Suciu and Austyn Gillette left Habitat footwear?
Not really. We want what's best for everybody, and the shoes work out really good for some people and for other people it doesn't. With them, it was something they wanted to do and they're friends and the decks are the roots of the company, so if they want to do something else, we're supportive of them. The shoes do well, but I guess we feel that brand is more important and the categories are there and some people represent different categories, but as long as the brand is strong, that's what's important. With someone like Mark, we're just honored that he has a pro board through us. I think once someone's heart is out of something, there's no reason to try to keep them in it. That's kind of the way it was with Mark. If he wants to travel with other people and see things from a different perspective, we're not going to stop that. No one's ever quit because of money. I feel like the only times it's happened, it's been pretty reasonable.
Suciu's really come into his own in the past year. Did the older guys on Habitat kind of help point him in a more creative direction or was that something he just picked up on his own?
That's honestly how he has always been. He's always been really good at keeping up communication globally. He has friends everywhere. He's just a really interesting dude, and he loves skating, skating different stuff, and the history of skating. He's just a really worldly dude. He couldn't leave Northern California at first because he was just a kid, but as soon as he got older, he's always been traveling. There was no grooming. That's just how he is.
What advice would you give to someone today who's in the shoes you were in at 20 years old just starting out at Workshop, wanting to get involved in design and video?
I can relate to Mark a little bit there. At the time I started, I was just interested and I loved skating. I wasn't good enough to be a skateboarder, I was always average, but I wanted to give back and contribute to it in a way I thought was important. And I was competitive. I would say, just don't be satisfied. Those early years, that's when you have to prove yourself, so if you're going to do something, don't be stoked on it until other people are praising it and then still don't be stoked on it, because once you're complacent, that's it. I just don't think you should ever be satisfied, and if somebody's already done it, it's probably not worth doing. That stuff's a lot easier to say at 20 years old and you can really explore these things, but I would say if you're fresh to it and you love it and you're creative, try to create your own look that doesn't already exist.
What's next for Habitat?
We're doing a video that's going to focus on Mark and Dela, and that's gonna have everyone else in it. Those guys just went pro for us, so instead of putting a video part out that would get people psyched for a month, we decided to hold off and put something insane together that comes out around the holidays. Whoever has footage gets a part, but it's really focused on those two. Both of them have really good footage so far.

Help translating pathology report? Paget's?
- Question from Nancy: Here are the results of my path report after mastectomy: "2 foci of invasive ductal carcinoma, histologic grade 3/3, nuclear grade 2/3, measuring 0.4 cm and 0.2 cm. Nipple - Paget's disease. Vascular invasion is identified." Could you translate? What should follow?
Answers -
Beth Baughman DuPree, M.D., F.A.C.S.
In this particular pathology report, there are many things happening at once. Paget's disease is typically diagnosed from changes that we see superficially in the nipple complex that lets us know that there are cancer cells within the ducts below the nipple. What the pathology report specifically tells us is that there are two cancers that were growing at the same time. And although they are graded differently, we use the higher grade cancer which in this case would be 3/3 as our determining guide for further treatment.
The vascular invasion is when cancer cells are found in the small blood vessels inside the breast. It is a associated with an increased risk of recurrence. If this is on your pathology report, your doctor will consider this along with all of the other findings, as the role for further treatment such as radiation, chemotherapy or hormonal therapy is evaluated. In addition, the estrogen and progesterone receptors, and HER2 status should be determined for these tumors, as noted previously in this program.
For those who do not know what Paget's disease looks like, it can begin as a very subtle change in the skin surrounding the nipple and areola complex. It can range from a dry skin appearance to an open sore that gets bloody or produces a clear discharge. This can look like a skin erosion or ulcer.
- Marisa Weiss, M.D. If we see a patient who has Paget's disease plus other changes by physical exam or mammography that are suspicious for significant extension of cancer, then an MRI scan of the breast may be ordered. That test can help us better understand the extent of the disease in the breast. It can help us figure out if there is spread from the nipple back into the central area of the breast. It can help us know if the other areas are separate or connected. Having the benefit of information like this before deciding on surgery can be useful.
Beth Baughman DuPree, M.D., F.A.C.S.
When performing any biopsy of the breast, it is very important that I tell the pathologist in my operative report exactly where the tissue came from in the breast. I also need to describe the orientation of the tissue exactly as I have removed it from the breast. By orientation I mean the three-dimensional place that the tissue was residing in the breast, relative to the front margin (anterior), back margin (posterior), top margin (superior), bottom margin (inferior), inside margin (medial) and outside margin (lateral).
When the pathologist knows what areas may have margins that are close or positive with tumor cells, that helps me to figure out what specific areas may need re-excision after a lumpectomy. In communicating this information, the pathologist can determine the extent of the disease within the ductal system of the breast.
The Ask-the-Expert Online Conference called Your Operative and Pathology Reports featured Beth Baughman Dupree, M.D., F.A.C.S. and Ann Ainsworth, M.D. answering your questions about details of pathology and operative reports and the importance of discussing them with your doctors.

how does a wireless antistatic wrist band work?
I know this probably a dumb question but how does a wireless antistatic wrist band work?
e.g. http://www.ebuyer.com/product/138825#
I dont see how that would work.................................
The wikipedia just says:
"Wireless or Dissipative wrist straps are available, but their level of reliability is unknown."
I guess it could work, to an extent...there would have to be some kind of ground on the bracelet, I'm not great with how the stuff works, but I would expect some kind of metal piece that "stores" the charge would be required...but wouldn't that potentially discharge once it hit a certain point?
Iremember, they are conected to plates that act like a ground (receptor or donator of eletrons, to make you neutral).
If this is not connected, maybe he has the same capacity of make you neutral.
There were some technicians here that needed to work with that, maybe it has some use.
lmao...that's awesome. I'm definitely buying one of those! :3eyes:
I spent 5 years doing electronic equipment repair for the Army. That doesn't mean I know much, but it does mean that what little I do know is from lots and lots of experiences good and bad. And that "wireless ESD strap" is a load of crap! It would have to have capacitors in it to store the charge like mentioned above, and yes ( also mentioned above) the charge would have to be discharged at some point.
Potentially discharged on one of your pc components or even worse, when you reach down to adjust "your boys" or to scratch a little itch.....:bolt: So for the sake of your pc or any future children you might be planning to have, don't buy that.
lol thanks for the advice and i have another very noobish question. How do you use a regular antistatic wrist band?
come on guys its obvious, you need to setup a connection to a access point and thats where the static electricity goes rather than to the components :)
My take
Ok, I feel I just had to put in my two cents.
I have owned one of these wireless wrist straps for about 3 months now. I am not the type to use a wrist strap. ever. I grew up changing out ram chips on a 486 DX. You touch the case and you are good to go. leave the power in or not, better yet just make sure you always have skin contact with the case. forearms do nicely of holding and grounding. So the real reason I bought this is becuase in certain circumstances your job requires (and for good reason) to wear a wrist strap. When you are working on a clients PC's you have to have it. It makes them feel better. I HATE wired wrist straps. So I bought this guy becuase it is a commercial product that whether it works or not would satisfy the requirements of some of my jobs and still give me freedom. I was still going to touch the case.
My experience is this. It works. Amazingly (at all) it works... It does have it's limitations though. I recently found them out. Had to take a scissor lift about 40 feet up to the top of a warehouse to change out a wireless access point, (f**** wire monkeys strap the ethernet cables accross every possible high voltage power line and light source on the roof) and my co-worker touches the beam and zaps the holy SH** out of himself. hehehe after a couple of times doing that he "politely" requests since I have my "fancy shmancy" wrist strap to touch the beam. So I did so while holding the metal railing on the lift. and I got a small little tap shock in my pinkey on the railing. Just enough to know it happened at all. Thats a limitation and a huge reduction. HOWEVER! (we did this all day) the next time I tapped the screw on the strap to the beam then grabbed the railing and touch the beam and .... NOTHING...
Now on to what info I could find on the net. here's some highlights. and it really should tell you this on the package but.... eh...
1: wear 15 MINETS before working on components.
some product descriptions for the earliest models said 15 seconds... BS...
2: works better in humid climates
3: touch screw to grounding source for best effect
Before I found this out, out of worry, I would always tap the screw to the case. Turns out I had it right. Also I live in a very humid area. Also, just for the shear geek factor I never took it off. No wonder I had such success.
I have this happen all the time by people who wonder what the hell that blue thing on my wrist is.
THEM: "hey, I like your watch" or "what kind of watch is that?"
ME: "No, it's not a watch actually, it's a wireless anti-static wrist strap"
THEM: " ???????......." or "oh.. is that like computer stuff?"
To wrap up my little bit here. It's only like $10 freakin bucks, it's a geek badge, they now make them in styling black, so if you ever even considered it you know you want it. buy one and try it out for a while and see what you think. You will find opinions extremely varied on this. here's some links.
Yes, I registered just to comment on this thread. sorry for the long post and thank you for reading.
My dad used to work for Tellabs a electronic company. He said wireless anti-static wraps was on his ankle and there is a black mat on the floor when he stands on it, it takes ESD out of him.
We don't know how it works but there is mat on ground and u have it on ur ankle, u walk on it while u work. It takes ESD off u.

Dominoes Rules: Quick Ways to Win
Don't you enjoy playing dominoes? I'm sure everyone could recall moments when they played this game with excitement. This game is probably the all-time preferred by families and friends for a long time. Since the 1200s, we can't ever get enough of playing dominoes.
What makes this activity so compelling is its easy set of rules. Dominoes rules are very simple to follow and understand. Inspite the several versions of this game, the dominoes rules set for they're quite easy to catch on. It's no surprise how it is a part of any culture.
Dominoes Rules: Draw Dominoes
The game of dominoes first became popular in Europe, particularly in Italy. Although history points its origin at China (some at Egypt and Arabian countries), it is in Europe when this game turned into a craze. Then on, more and more countries got hooked up in playing this game. In fact, states have adopted their own version of this game. A few of the dominoes games variation are draw, block, concentration, all-fives, Mexican train, chicken foot, and others. One of the most played though is draw.
Dominoes rules in the draw game are rather easy to learn and follow. The game starts by placing all the tiles on a table. Make sure all are faced down hiding the pins / dots. Mix them up with your hand.
If there's 2 players, each person picks 7 dominoes. If you can find 3 or 4 players, each chooses 5 dominoes. All dominoes you've selected ought to be placed front of you but hidden from other players. Other unselected dominoes will be placed in a pile, which is called the 'boneyard'.
The player with the highest double (usually double six) should start the game. If no one has a double, whoever has the highest value of domino starts the game.
The next player to the left must place a matching domino next. If he does not have a matching value, the player picks a domino from the boneyard. If there are if no more dominoes left, the player should pass his turn.
Dominoes Rules: How to Win and Score
Winning is quite simple. Most dominoes rules have a simple objective to attain, which makes it the best game to be played by kids and adults. The key to winning dominoes rules is to have a low count of dominoes. Most games of dominoes follow this rule, which makes it rather essential to lose all the heavy tiles at once early on in the game. If not, you will end up losing the entire thing.
Generally, the 1st player that has no domino wins the round. But in any case, nobody runs out of dominoes but all the players passes because they lack a playable domino, whoever has the lowest score is made the winner. The scores are the total number of points of the unplayed dominoes. If the declared winner has any unplayed dominoes, subtract them from the score. In draw dominoes rules, the game is played to 100 points.

Save That Hotmail
Here's another helpful tip for all of you readers out there who happen to use Hotmail as your main e-mail program. This one is going to help out so many of you, I just know it! Okay, so with all the e-mails you send out every day, do you ever stop and wonder what you actually wrote in all of them? Or maybe there was one in particular that you would like to read over to make sure you included everything you needed to say. Whatever the case, you probably should have saved it, right?
Well, after today, you will be able to do that with ease. I am going to teach you how to save an e-mail in your Hotmail account. Go ahead and click on New Message to begin a new e-mail. You can type out your message just like you normally would, but before you send it off, make sure you checkmark the box at the bottom of the e-mail that says "Copy Message to Sent Folder." This will put an extra copy of that e-mail in your Sent folder for you. You can then send the message off with the assurance that you can always go back and refer to the saved version of it if you need to.
Now, if you want to keep that e-mail for longer than 30 days, you must move it to another folder, because Hotmail deletes any messages in the Sent folder after that time period is up. Also, keep in mind that you must check that box every time you want to save an e-mail. Hotmail unfortunately doesn't have a permanent setting for it. So, from now on, you don't have to wonder about what you actually wrote. You can go back and check on it and see for your very self!

Based on the scenerio provided....my initial thought is that I would have shot the subject had he not stopped advancing on the victim after a verbal warning.
I have never understood the insanity defense or many of the other ones that have been tried.
it really is as simple as it sounds.
Q: did he/she do it beyond a reasonable doubt?
Yes: guilty
No: they walk out.
NO its not my fault because of xxxx or yyyy.
now for the question.. but he would have been shot seeing that.

An elderly man armed with a butter knife........without more specifics such as size and so on I would not shoot this guy. Hands on, try to talk him down get between him and victim yeah probably.
Be prepared to up the stakes if needed but, again with no more information, I think I can disarm him without having to use my firearm.
As far as the LEO questions and comments the officer I would hope have enough training to disarm/talk him down without resorting to his firearm. The tools available to him I hope would include a taser or other less than lethal options. Yes the taser should be employed with lethal force backup if at all possible. Should for whatever reason the officer shot and killed this guy he would probably been crucified in the press and by the public for shooting a mentally handicapped grandfather.

Project 1143.7 Orel Ul'yanovsk class
Initial design work on a full-deck nuclear-powered aircraft began in 1973 under Project #1153 "Orel", which envisioned catapult-launched aircraft such as the MiG-23K fighter and Su-25K attack aircraft. The ship would have displaced 80,000 tons and carried as many as 70 aircraft. Following the death of Defense Minister Marshal Grechko, who had sponsored the project, the Defense Ministry was taken over by Marshal Ustinov, who did not share his predecessor's priorities. This Project 1153 effort was terminated in 1983.
Plans for a large-deck carrier were subsequently revived under Project #1143.7, which was undertaken at the Nevskoye Planning and Design Bureau beginning in 1984. The carrier was laid down in November 1988, but with the end of the Cold War the project was cancelled in November 1991. At that time construction was about 45% complete, and scrapping began in February 1992. The metal prepared for building the second ship of this class was also scrapped.

Glasgow Jews attacked on Facebook
A Facebook page has been set up mocking the Jewish community of Giffnock in Glasgow.
The page, which has attracted nearly 1,000 "likes", is called "Welcome to Israel, only kidding you're in Giffnock".
Under the information given for the page, the creator wrote: "They have a Gaelic translation in the train station, Hebrew would have been more appropriate."
A photo posted as the profile picture of the page features the late Rev Ernest Levy, a Holocaust survivor and Glasgow communal leader.
Fans of the page have posted comments including "Jewish scum" and "F*** the Jewish Zionist".
One person, who joked about his "Holocaust ring", commented: "Hebrew is not needed in the train station [because] all the Jews are f***ing rich c**** they have gold plated Bentleys".
Marc Livingston, a trainee lawyer who grew up in Giffnock, described it as offensive and suggested it was the work of "stupid kids who think they can get away with it".
He said he had always found his hometown comfortable, but was concerned that almost nobody on the page had criticised it.
"In other words almost a thousand people have no problem with these phrases," he said, adding that he urged people to report the abusive content on the page to Facebook.
Last month a Jewish student at St Andrews who was racially abused in his bedroom said he felt "unsafe" in the town.
Stewart Maxwell, the SNP MSP for West Scotland condemned the page as completely unacceptable and said such "bigoted remarks" were highly distasteful. He said he had reported the page to Facebook and also called for the Strathclyde Police chief contable to investigate it.
"I am very concerned that people are expressing these views, particularly as they do not reflect the opinion of the East Renfrewshire population who are tolerant and respectful of people from all religions and races," he said.
"The Jewish community of Giffnock is a valued part of Scottish society, and the disgraceful comments posted on Facebook will never detract from this fact.
"No one should have to suffer these abusive comments, especially in a public forum."

Four years ago, Mark and Aimee Lawrence caught a fever during the Winter Olympics. And with Olympic sports closer — not the mainstream football, basketball and baseball events that typically consume the United States' sporting culture — to the forefront of their consciousness, they tried and fell in love with curling.
"We just saw an article and said, "Hey, this might be fun to go throw a few stones," Aimee said during an interview on Monday at the Potomac Curling Club in Laurel. "The people we met were open and engaging and we had a blast. … We're still here having fun."


text: How to Quit Smoking, AgainIf you're like most smokers who have tried to quit, you may have tried unsuccessfully several times. But you can try again and succeed.The following suggestions can help you kick the habit, again, for good.Understand your relapseIf you relapse, the first thing you should do is not give up. Instead, take stock of the situation. When did the relapse start and what caused it?Once you understand why it happened, you can begin to consider ways to get back on track.Here are some steps you can take if you slip and smoke a cigarette:Treat the situation like an emergency. Stop smoking immediately! Get rid of all cigarettes.Make a list of coping strategies sure to work for you this time; forget about those that didn't work for you in the past.Review your list of reasons for wanting to quit whenever you feel you're slipping back into your old habit. When the urge hits, say, "I'm going to make it this time."Call a quit smoking hotline for encouragement. Research has shown that such hotlines really do help people quit by giving them someone to talk to when they get the urge to smoke.Prevent relapseOne way to head off a relapse is to practice handling some possible situations that might tempt you to smoke, so you'll be prepared for them.Ask yourself what you should do if one of these common situations arises:You're at a party and a friend offers you your old brand of cigarettes.You're under a lot of pressure at work and your supervisor wants a report right away. You can't concentrate and see a pack of cigarettes on a co-worker's desk.The key to coping with smoking urges is to plan ahead, so that wherever you are, you'll have something to do instead of smoking. For example, whenever you want a cigarette, try the four D's:Delay: The urge to smoke will pass whether you light up or not.Deep breathe.Drink water.Do something to take your mind off smoking.

Gregory Paul: "The Great Atheist - Nelson Mandela"
Back in the last decade there was a cable talk show titled Faith Under Fire. Hosted by a right wing Christian, it featured theists and atheists in direct conflict over assorted matters. In one segment a theist challenged a leader of an atheist organization to name a single atheist who had become a great moral leader. To my annoyance the had-not-thought-about-that-one-before atheist was stumped.
A leading example, of course, is Andrei Sakharov. The wholly ungodly leftist physicist started out as the father of the Soviet H-bomb, but became so fed up with dictatorial communism – Khrushchev's insistence on detonating a colossal 50 megaton thermonuclear device for no practical reason being a factor – that he became the leading dissident against the system, fighting for progressive democracy at considerable expense to himself.
And the other great moral atheist leader of the 20th century was Nelson Mandela. He too was an nontheist of the left (as most are, in the US 3/4s of the nonreligious are progressives, the rest Randian libertarians.)
It cannot be overemphasized that there was nothing atheistic about the vicious terror state operated by the Afrikaners. The apartheid scheme was devised by Bible following Calvinist Christians, specifically the Dutch Reformed Church. This paralleled the similarly terroristic slave state, followed by Jim Crow apartheid, of the American south. They too were Calvinist Protestants, mainly Baptists and Methodists. Every KKK chapter had a minister. The crowds that cheered on the lynching torture spectacles were Christ believers. And the white Christian churches of the south never opposed the rampant bigotry.
There was largely liberal Christian opposition to apartheid, especially from black Christians who decided to fight for their self-interests as well they should, and despite the autocratic, proslavery stance of scriptures. But the main counter effort came from secular leftist humanists in South Africa, who constituted the majority of the ANC leadership. Most prominently Mandela. A man of iron resolve who proved – perhaps uniquely -- able to peacefully reform his troubled country into an equal rights nation. A very good man got remarkably good results via tolerant, progressive humanism with a big dose of common decency thrown in. Mandela never claimed to be a servant of a god, he said he was "a humble servant of the people." He understood that there is never a need to invoke the gods, who are a pretty useless lot when you think about it.
Here is something interesting. One might think that post-apartheid South Africa is a country of deep piety. Not so much. A third are atheists or at least nonreligious (http://www,wingia.com/web/files/news/14/file.14.pdf). If South Africa succeeds in becoming a prosperous progressive democracy, it will become even less theistic, as are all the most successful 1stworld nations. And that would be a good thing.
For here is something that is perverse. According the strict Christian doctrine Mandela is on his way to hell. He did not accept the grace of Christ, so he is eternally damned for his failure to seek forgiveness for his inheritance of original sin. Any good works he did are not pertinent. Ask many a Christian and they will say so. Fortunately that's just a theofantasy. So is the blasphemous notion by liberal believers that nice people get a ticket to heaven even if they are not ardent followers of Christ.
Atheism is not afflicted by the bad morality that contaminates theism, in which the self-centered goal is to seek supernatural rewards. Atheism per se is morally neutral, so atheists are entirely free to be as ethical as they are able to be, and to be so in a manner that is truly altruistic, no reward being involved. Needless to say atheists are free to be very bad, as is the leftist atheist nitwit who is running Zimbabwe. But bad theists are a dime a dozen too, and they readily cite defective scriptures to back up their depravity.
Of course we will hear and read little, or more likely nothing, about Mandela's irreligiosity from the supposedly secular bent mainstream, or even progressive, news media in the wake of the great atheist's death. Just as there will be little mention of the deep religiosity of the operators of apartheid. But next time a theist deploys the old there-are-no-great-atheists-charge in your presence, toss Mandela – and Sakharov – back into their laps. And enjoy their subsequent deer in the headlights look.

Hello, sweet English Muse readers.
It seems like everyone is in a New York state of mind this week. My favorite travel destination is France. However, with the ever-increasing costs in air fare, France is out of the question for this summer.
This weekend is a holiday in the US so we are jetting off to NYC for a few days. I'm really excited to walk everywhere, people watch and eat good food. I also plan on walking across the Brooklyn Bridge (I've never done it) visit the 9/11 Memorial, the NY Public Library (the famous one where Audrey Hepburn filmed a scene for Breakfast at Tiffany's) and the Met.
What's your favorite travel destination?

Five suspects were arrested Tuesday (June 23) after shoplifting clothes, food, a camera and camera battery, DVD movies, and earphones from Walmart.
They were arrested at the Walmart located at 2767 N.W. U.S. 90. The suspects started stealing at 10:51 a.m. and ended at 4:45 p.m., according to the Lake City Police Department release.
None of the suspects knew each other, and they were all detained by Walmart security personnel.
Walmart security officer Bob Mills called the police to initiate the arrests. All five suspects were transported to Columbia County Detention Center for booking.

Seoul (The Korea Herald/ANN) - South Korea's exports to Japan have tumbled since the second half of last year, according to data released Sunday, mainly because of a weak yen.
Korean exports to the world's third-largest economy plunged 17.4 percent to $2.89 billion in February from a year ago, the Korea International Trade Association said.
Korean exports to Japan fell below the $3 billion mark again after nose-diving 23 percent to $2.75 billion last April compared to the same period in 2012. Sales of Korean goods to Japan saw a temporary recovery for one month, rising 1.1 percent in May last year, but they have been on a downward trend since June aside from November 2012 to January this year.
On the contrary, Japan's exports to Korea showed the opposite performance. Japan's monthly shipments of goods to Korea posted negative growth for the first 10 months last year before recovering in November. They rose 0.6 percent on-year in November, 0.9 percent in December and 4.4 percent in January.
The continued fall in exports to Japan from the second half of last year is raising concern about the negative impact of the weakening yen on the nation's overall exports.
Regarding the impact of the weak yen on Korean exports, the Korea Institute for Industrial Economics and Trade, a state-funded think tank, said in its recent report that every drop of 1 percent in the yen-won exchange rate led to a 0.18 percent fall in Korea's total exports. The yen-won exchange rate declined 16.3 percent between Sept. 19 last year and Feb. 29 this year, the think tank added.
"Korea and Japan have a similar industrial structure, so they compete with each other in many areas. If the yen's value continues to deteriorate, Korean goods could further lose their base to Japanese ones,'' said an official from Samsung Economic Research Institute.
For instance, Korea's automobile industry is one of the business sectors hit hard by the devaluation of the yen. Exports of the nation's five automakers dropped 5 percent to 518,251 units for the first two months of this year from a year earlier, according to industry data.
"Korea needs to step up efforts to diversify its key export items and also strengthen the competitiveness of products against Japanese competitors," the KIET report said.
With the new Japanese administration pledging to keep its expansionary policies, government and businesses are gauging the growing impact of the weak yen on the nation's exports.
Market watchers are paying keen attention to indicators including the nation's export performance data in March, to be released by the Ministry of Trade, Industry and Energy on Monday. The ministry found that Korea's exports fell 8.6 percent in February from a year earlier to $42.3 billion, hit by the yen's slide and falling demand amid the global economic downturn.
The government signaled a possible worsening export performance in March by cutting the nation's 2013 growth target to 2.3 percent, down from its earlier projection of 3 percent last week.
The Korean economy heavily depends on exports to meet the growth target to make up for the slump in domestic consumption.

nope. sounds good
This is a discussion on Possible home invasion last night real situation within the Carry & Defensive Scenarios forums, part of the Defensive Carry Discussions category; So here is the scenario: My Father-in-law lives in a VERY bad area in Milwaukee. He and his wife are out of town for a ...
So here is the scenario:
My Father-in-law lives in a VERY bad area in Milwaukee. He and his wife are out of town for a few weeks and have in recent years had a string of break-ins at their house prompting them to get a security system. Unknown to me I am a contact for his ADT security system. At 9pm last night I was on my way home from school and received a call from ADT saying there are motion sensors going off within the house. Milwaukee Police do not respond to alarms with any sense of urgency unless they know a burglary is in process. So being near school I am only about 10 minuets away and start heading down there so none of my wife's brothers have to make the 34 minute drive down from where we all live. I roll up on the house and EVERY light in the house is on and there is some dude standing at the end of their driveway looking up and down the street and then walks back up the driveway to the house. My alarm bells start going off like crazy thinking that a burglary is still in process and this guys is the look out. I immediately call 911 and tell them I think a burglary is in process and tell them where. 2 minutes later they come rolling up at which time I get out of my car after circling the block out of sight not to spook anyone that may be in or around the house until the police arrive. Long story short is that the guy was the neighbor who is evidently also on the ADT call list who I have never met and was waiting for his brother who is a LEO that just got off duty to show up and clear the house for him. Police did their routine and cleared the whole house and it must have been a defective motion sensor because nothing was out of the ordinary.
I was armed with my S&W M&P 9C but had no intentions of jumping out of the car and asking the suspicious dude what was going on for fear of things going south if he was involved.
Would anyone have handled this any differently? I think I did the best under the circumstances, I was not going to investigate the situation myself given the odd appearance of the house with every light on and a guys in the driveway.
Keep in mind this neighborhood is so bad I wont even take my family there for Christmas, it is that bad.
I think you did great! Problem solved safely and no one got hurt. Can't do better than that
If you can read this, thank a teacher. Because it's in English, thank a vet
I think you did a great job......
One suggestion..... Maybe you should ask you FIL who else is on the security company call list......maybe you should all become acquainted with each other to lessen the possibity of a tragic situation in the future....
Sounds like everything was handled well.
You do know you'll have to have a word with your Father-in-law about getting everyone operating on the same page as to who is responsible for the alarm company. You should have known beforehand that you were on the contact list for the alarm company and you should have known who else was on the contact list too.
Semper Fi
"The gun is the great equalizer... For it is the gun, that allows the meek to repel the monsters; Whom are bigger, stronger and without conscience, prey on those who without one, would surely perish."
Did better than I would have. I have to fight my natural inclination to go where angels fear to tread.
If the Union is once severed, the line of separation will grow wider and wider, and the controversies which are now debated and settled in the halls of legislation will then be tried in fields of battle and determined by the sword.

You did good....Im glad it worked out...
Don"t let stupid be your skill set....
And Shepards we shall be, for Thee, my Lord, for Thee,
Power hath descended forth from Thy hand, So that our feet may swiftly carry out thy command,
And we shall flow a river forth to Thee, And teeming with souls shall it ever be,
I'm like Hopyard. My fight or flight kicks in rather quickly and ever since I was 14 and was 4'11" at 92lbs it has been fight not flight. So I too have to fight off the adrenaline that comes on real quick. Nice job.
"Let us speak courteously, deal fairly, and keep ourselves armed and ready" TR
You did great.
First assumption was that the guy was a lookut. If you had ran with that assumption instead of calling the police things could have gotten real nasty for you. Always best to let the LEOs handle it - it isn't our job and it's not what concealed carry laws were designed for.
Nice job!...As others have said, make a point to meet the others on your FIL contact list.
Sometimes in life you have to stand your ground. It's a hard lesson to learn and even most adults don't get it, but in the end only I can be responsible for my life. If faced with any type of adversity, only I can overcome it. Waiting for someone else to take responsibility is a long fruitless wait.
You did right without some form of backup, after all you could have been jumped. This is why we carry insurance
Well played. Nobody hurt, you stayed safe and armed but did not escalate a situation in which no one was threatened.
I'd rather be lucky than good any day
There's nothing that will change someone's moral outlook quicker than cash in large sums.
Majority rule only works if you're also considering individual rights. Because you can't have five wolves and one sheep voting on what to have for supper.
You did the right thing....Talk to your FIL about call list.

Cat adoption saves lives. Adopt a cat and you'll have a friend for life! Contact us, or contact another local humane society, animal shelter or SPCA.
Your adoption fee helps us recover a small portion of the costs we pay for each kitty. Your feline friend will be current on the FVRCP vaccine,flea and earmite treatment, deworming and has received the FeLV/FIV test.
Your fee also pays for the spay/neuter surgery when the kitty reaches five/six months of age. If done with our Vet., the charge is immediately put on Kitty Haven's account. If done at another Vet., just send us a copy of the spay/neuter receipt or certificate and we reimburse you the cost we currently pay at our Vet.
Why should you adopt?
Dog adoption and cat adoption saves lives. Adopt a dog or adopt a cat and you'll have a friend for life! What is the difference between adopting a cat or kitten versus getting cats for sale or kittens for sale from a cat breeder? When someone is breeding kittens, they are creating new cats who need homes. Some people are interested in a very specific breed of cat or kitten and they think the only way to find that specific breed is to buy a cat for sale from a kitten breeder. Yet animal shelters are filled with cats who must find homes. So rather than buying a cat or kitten for sale from a cat breeder, we encourage people to adopt a cat or adopt a kitten at their local animal shelter, SPCA, humane society or pet rescue group.

I usually do a salad, but others like to cut it out and apply a cast of the MQ-1 board on it or a piece of plastic or even a grill.
As you wish sir. All the Original Fett helmets have a real Casio MQ-1 calculator chip for the upper half of the keyholes, and a piece of plastic (the same one as the visor) covering the bottom half of them. All this was put on before painting.
Ive ordered a cast of a Casio MQ-1 calculator chip is it possible somecould post a picture og the back of their helmet please so i can see how it fits and what you did exactly
many many thanks

Thanks guys
Is it a MR helmet? The dent looks MR but the flare is too GMH. Looks awesome anyway. For the rangefinder I would use one of the mr8gness or soemthing like that. You won't need to drill any holes because it's such a small board that everything is in the rangefinder box.
it's a MOJO helmet, which originated from a modified master Replica helmet. A really great helmet in itself. It also has one of Mojo's Borden connectors installed.
the paint job was done by Welsh warrior
