Friends of the Library Spring Book Sale begins this weekend

In October 1954, a group of friends got together to help improve the only library in Gainesville. It started an organization, Friends of the Library, and began providing funding in both cash and donations.
If you go
What: Friends of the Library Spring Book Sale, with more than 500,000 used books, magazines, graphic novels, CDs and more on sale to benefit the Alachua County Library District
When: 9 a.m.-6 p.m. Saturday, 1-6 p.m. Sunday, noon-7 p.m. Monday and Tuesday, noon-6 p.m. April 24
Where: Friends of the Library Book House, 430-B N. Main St.
Admission: Free. Prices range from 25 cents to $4. Everything is half-priced on Tuesday and 10 cents on Wednesday.
Now in its 59th year, the Friends of the Library still provides funding with the help of its semiannual book sales. The Friends of the Library Spring Book Sale begins Saturday and continues through April 24, said Sarah Harrison, the organization's publicity chair.
More than 500,000 books and other items are sold to raise money to purchase library materials, fund adult and children library programs, and pay for scholarships for library employees.
After its first sale in 1954, the event raised a total of $80. Today, the spring book sale brings in between $140,000 and $160,000. Most books are priced from 25 cents to $4 each. On Tuesday, everything is half-price; and Wednesday, everything is 10 cents.
The first day of the book sale, which is held at the Friends of the Library Book House at 430-B N. Main St., is the busiest, said Harrison, usually bringing in about $80,000 to $90,000 alone. The sale attracts people from all over the Southeast, with some arriving 24 hours before doors open to wait in line.
She said she expects a long line of customers to snake down the street.
The first stop for the most dedicated buyers is the Collector's Corner, which will be open from Saturday to Tuesday. It's a separate section in the book house that gives buyers the chance to purchase valuable items at reasonable prices. It includes a section about Florida, titled "Floridiana," with Florida high school yearbooks, books by Florida authors, maps and more. Military and Civil War items also will be available for purchase, but these items will not be included at the military table in the main part of the sale, Harrison said.
Harrison recalled the time she and a co-worker found a letter from Charles Lindbergh to a book's owner. It sold in the Collector's Corner for $700.
The most popular tables are the ones holding donated records, sheet music, audio books, DVDs, children's books and textbooks. On the children's books table, buyers will find old picture books that are out of print or old textbooks for homeschooled children. Harrison said a family can fill a child's library with all of the books the sale has to offer.
A selection of medical, scientific and law textbooks attract graduate students. Though they're not necessarily new editions, they are still great study tools, Harrison added.
"Everything that's ever been published comes through at some point, if you're willing to wait long enough," she said.
No scanners or pricing tools, pets, wagons, food or drinks are allowed at the sale. Strollers and other wheeled devices (besides wheelchairs) are not allowed inside on Saturday. Starting Sunday, book carts and grocery carts will be provided.
Buyers are encouraged to bring their own boxes and bags. And although the building does not have air conditioning or heating, many fans will circulate air throughout the sale.
Only cash and checks will be accepted.
The sale will be open from 9 a.m. to 6 p.m. Saturday, 1 to 6 p.m. Sunday, noon to 7 p.m. April 22-23, and noon to 6 p.m. April 24.

• atonement •
Pronunciation: ê-ton-mênt • Hear it!
Part of Speech: Noun, mass
Meaning: 1. Making up for past misdeeds, transgressions; making amends for an injury or offense. 2. Reconciliation, especially the reconciliation between God and humans.
Notes: Today is Yom Kippur, the final day of the Jewish High Holidays (literally, the Days of Awe), the ten days beginning with Rosh Hashanah and ending with Yom Kippur. In Hebrew Yom Kippur means "Day of Atonement" and is the holiest day of the Jewish year. In Leviticus, the high priest chose two goats, one to be sacrificed and the other serve as the (e)scapegoat or Azazel. The high priest laid his hands upon the Azazel, symbolically endowing it with the sins of Israel, then sent the goat into the desert, carrying all those sins with it. That is why today scapegoat refers to someone who is blamed for the sins of others. Today we wish all our Jewish readers, "Gut Yom Tov!"
In Play: Although atonement is generally associated with religion, lay applications of this word abound: "How can I atone for forgetting the kids and leaving them at the supermarker?" At base this word refers to the price of forgiveness: "Francine told me that she would accept a new Mercedes as atonement for my smoking the cigars in the
Word History: Today's word is an early 16th century creation from at + one under the influence of Latin ad-una-mentum "unity". It was assisted by the prior existence of the verb, to one "to make one, unite"; onement was already used by Bible translator John Wyclif in the 14th century. This noun was influenced by such frequent phrases "set at one" and "put at one", so that atonement began to replace onement early in the 16th century. Atone, formed by back derivation from atonement, began to replace the verb, to one about 1550. Later on, at+one was reanalyzed as a+tone, giving the current misleading pronunciation

Why it is called fasting, when in fact time seems to crawl by, I don't know. When I was a coffee addict, the headaches used to be awful. Now it isn't so bad. Also, since I understand the Hebrew we pray in, I don't get as listless as some others do during services.
"Time is nature's way of keeping everything from happening all at once. Lately it hasn't been working."
Perry, re: fasting; I found that the first three days All I thought about was the FEAST I was going to have when it ended, by day four I had so much energy I never wanted to eat again.

Because it is a strict Lunar calendar, the Islamic calendar has what would be termed an "Undocumented Feature" in the language of computers. Since no days are inserted into the calendar to align it with the seasons, Ramadan, the month of sunrise-to-sunset fasting, rotates around the year over the course of the centuries, so that some years Ramadan occurs in the winter when the days are short, and in other years in the summer when the days are longer.
I wonder how it is handled in the Polar regions. the Land of the Midnight Sun, when "day" can last for over two months?

At Finland's northernmost point, the sun does not set for 73 days during summer. At Nordkapp in Norway, what is normally denoted as the northermost point in Europe, there are 76 days (from 14 May to 30 July) of proper midnight sun and an additional few days with partial sun before and after.

Together We Do Better
As we celebrate LGBT History Month, I am so excited to highlight the NSVRC's latest information and resource packet, Sexual Violence & Individuals Who Identify as LGBTQ. According to the LGBT History Month website, October was chosen as the month to celebrate, teach, and talk about gay and lesbian history. The NSVRC honors that history and explores the impact of sexual violence and the importance of preventing its occurrence in the LGBTQ community.
The packet has been a labor of love for both NSVRC staff and members of our partner organizations who were also involved. I really love and respect that we approach these issues in a thoughtful way, and incorporate the voices of survivors and advocates who are members of, and allies with, the LGBTQ community.
Whether you are looking for ways to talk about gender and sexuality, the process of coming out, the impact of discrimination, or if you are looking to create an agency that is inclusive to all individuals and communities, or you want to learn more about transformative prevention programming for LGBTQ communities - with nearly a dozen different resources, there is something for everyone in this packet.
And it's also a great time to revisit a previous post on consent work in LGBTQI communities, featuring the work of our partners at the Oregon Coalition Against Domestic and Sexual Violence.
We would love to hear your feedback about these resources and how you plan to use the information. Feel free to share with us in the comments below!

Building a multi-monitor (eyefinity) PC
Long story short, I already have my new build components in mind, but I was wondering if with a single Nvidia 660Ti I can do this, and how:
Look at the size of those bezels. This is an abomination!
I thought the very same thing. With bezels that size, and looking at the screens themselves, you'd be better with one really large monitor.
I can't answer your question I'm afraid as I don't know much about triple monitors. It probably would be able to display across all three monitors, but how many of the settings you'd be able to max out, I'm not certain.
If you do go triple monitor though, for the love of god make sure you get the smallest bezels you can. That guys set up looks horrible.
Can't really help you if you want to go this route, but AMD has better support for multiple displays than nvidia. Nvidia maxes out at 3 but the 3rd port in most nvidia cards is only hdmi so you will be limited somewhat in the range of resolutions you can select on the 3rd monitor (at least up to nvidia gtx5xx cards). In any case, you will definitely need the top end card of either brand to max out game settings, otherwise you'll have to settle for gaming at medium to low...
The only surround gaming setup I would settle for would be a seamless display such as the Radius320 - unfortunately it's vapourware ...

If by 'Can I do this?' you mean 'Is it possible to run three monitors at once off of one 660Ti?', it appears that yes, you can. How? You buy three monitors (bearing in mind they must all run at the same resolution), install the latest drivers, find the Nvidia Surround setting and set it up. Easy. The bezels only look seriously bad if you have the monitors portrait, in landscape mode they're pretty much in your peripheral vision most of the time so you don't really notice them, especially in flight or racing sims where they just look like they could plausibly be part of the cockpit. That does mean, however, that a lot of games don't work because they can't handle the extreme aspect ratio, the UIs generally go crazy.
- Bear in mind that a 660Ti isn't the most powerful card out there, my 680 struggles with 3x1680x1050 sometimes so if you're hoping to play, say, Project CARS at 3x1080p you're going to have a bad time. Unless you dial the graphics back a bit.
- Please, for god's sake, don't have the monitors in portrait mode, it looks ridiculous and you'd be better off with one huge screen, unless you're hoping to use three 30 inch monitors?
- Buy all three monitors at the same time from the same place. I have three Samsung 226BWs, two of which are from the same factory in... Somewhere. The third, one I bought very recently for £40 (bloody bargain of the week, that was), was built in Romania and appears to use a different panel because it's much greener than the other two. I've tweaked the colour balance a little but it's still off. Buying three monitors from the same place increases the chance that you'll get three from the same batch, thus increasing the chance they'll all look the same.
- Mount the monitors such that the horizontal centre line is in line with where your eyes will be. This is a real pain in the arse, I had to buy one single and one dual VESA mount (oh yeah, make sure the monitors do have VESA mounts, those new AOC IPS ones don't, for example) and spent about a week tweaking them to get the monitors all straight. This is because if the monitors are higher or lower than your line of sight, the image will look weird and may even make you feel motion sicky.
- Don't bother with it at all unless you already know the games you want to play support triples. Racing sims, flight sims, Arma II; these are all foregone conclusions. Console ports rarely work well. Some look stunning but the UI just shits itself and looks hilarious, I think I have some screenshots on my Steam profile of good examples. A great deal of games can work but need tweaking, the Widescreen Gaming Forum can help there I think. But yeah, if you're building a sim racing or flight rig, just do it. It's excellent, like, breathtakingly so.
- Don't take my word for any of this, I'm just saying some things that come to mind.
Somewhat off topic: Those are Dell Ultrasharps, aren't they? That's quite the bezel. I have a 24" 1920x1200 and love it, so I want to swap my 226BWs for 23" 1080p Ultrasharps, but that bezel... I hadn't thought to check if they're thicker than what I have now. Also there's the small matter of the £450 I'd need.
Edit: Oh yeah, as Mash says: Two DVI, one HDMI, possibly one DisplayPort (the 680 has one, anyway, and for the record can do four monitors but I think you can only game on up to three (or so a video I once watched seemed to indicate)). Fine for 1080p, I can confirm it's also fine with 1680x1050.
Last edited by neema_t; 22-11-2012 at 08:05 PM.:emofdr:
in order to half the bezel size, slightly angle the outside monitors so that their bezel is behind the central monitor bezel. voila, only 1 visible bezel. playing with them in landscape is also better ive found, as the outer monitors are only really for peripheral vision
having them in portrait kind of makes me think what it would be like to play games in prison (with big black bars infront of your game) whereas with horizontal they sit nicely in your eyes blind spots, so you dont really notice them

a - consoles aren't allowed in prisons anymore (as they have internet access they're forbidden)
b - if you had one, why the in the name of shivering jesus would you put it OUTSIDE your cell
c - cells don't have bars anymore - that's just in the movies I think ;)
B) If it was in a common room it could possible be connected to a TV that's in a steel cage to stop prisoners from damaging the tv or ripping it off the wall
C) see B.

As it stands, the UK Home Office has a ban on ANY device capable of radio communication/network access (e.g. Wifi) inside any UK prison - that would cover all current-gen consoles (it didn't cover the PS2 as that required extra hardware - or the original XBOX as that was wired-access only)
Oddly, I know of at least 1 prison which has a Wii tho - and all Wiis have Wifi?

There is no need to further describe how sharp this knife is and how well it cuts. If you have one, you know. If you don't..., push the button. For anyone trying with this in your choice list, buy it. I dropped a tomato on it from about a foot up...warm butter.

Yes.Isn't this game still a bit too new to have a definitive tier list yet?
I wonder what made him put Leona so high.By the way, this was made by Mari (a high level 02um Japanese player.)
I wonder what made him put Leona so high.
If people want a better chart, here's this one: http://www.mmcafe.com/tiermaker/kof13/index.html#ya0-trng3jmk5p765kfb8cg278l53jnp9fgk5de78bfk6bhl3zda7iei3yd45dh762oc7jnp6z956wbz3seg9g8r5cef7ea19ikf5mcn6rlp7d654wit5zg04tb68o6yaid39hig35ng48p02rml36-bkf-naitimu_mari
I don't think it's perfect but I have very little to disagree with on this one. Tier compression is sound. It's how I felt, "everyone is high tier." Even Ash at the bottom of the list is still an A tier character. I feel he mainly just lacks both meterless damage output and damage output in general, which reflects what I said about tier placement and damage. Characters with the best utilities will be top, followed by characters with damage.
By the way, this was made by Mari (a high level 02um Japanese player.)
No I'd like to play here. Her meterless damage output (and even low meter) is just very very very depressingly low. Making her only really effective as an anchorU hhave something against her? Lol
I kinda agree with this one. But I think Shen should be more on the left side since he gets blown up by most grapplers. Other than that, I do agree that EX Iori is the best overall character. He can play any position, which is claw Iori's flaw even thought he does more damage. Iori with fireball is just too good.
Umm Claw Iori can be played in position as well. He can still do decent damage without using too much resources. The character actually has a lot more going for him than EX Iori does. EX Iori is a very complete jack of all type characters, but I feel like Kyo does that better than he does.
Yea claw with meter is pretty much amazing because he can negate his weakness to the lame game. So I suppose I would throw him back into tier 1. Lol I flip flop so much in this game.
Regarding Vice... confirming off an A-A or a AA is nifty and all, but pretty much every character has something going for them which makes them considered good. I just feel Vices shtick doesnt make up for the rest of what she lacks compared to the rest of the cast. This game is remarkably balanced though, so being "bad" still means you are a pretty good and viable character. I just think Vice ranks among the worst in the game.
Can anyone point out why people think so poorly of Leona? Honest question. I literally havent used or played that character at all so I have no idea what she does or doesnt do. What is it about her that would make her stand out as the solo worst in the game?
All characters are good, it's just some have better fundamentals than others. Bala even said himself that he felt that all characters are really good when Jwong asked him for a tier list.Well, did Bala just won the last Power Up with Joe and Leona ?
Tier list is all over the fucking place and no one can agree on anything. This could be the most balanced fighter of the decade.
Actually no, Leona is not weak and she has some very interesting tech that sets her apart. Bala was raping everyone with her. She has some devastating overhead pressure into massive damage and she can zone and bait you to jump at her and nail you with her air super.

I don't think anyone would consider him S.... In Arcade yes, not console. He received some hardcore nerfs.However, he is considered S probably because of his juggle anywhere properties.
Matchup tierlists have never really dominated KOF games. Matchups, honestly, don't play as big a role as they do in 3s or sf4. Movesets and setups are a lot more homogenized, and jumps/rolls/guard cancels make it that you can get around stuff you would struggle with in other fighting games in more diverse ways. Against most characters, you can pretty much just run your game with only minor adaptations, and defending against most characters is pretty similar too.
Oversimplification, of course. But the fact is, with 3 positions that actually have influence on the character's effectiveness, you would, technically also have to take that into account in a matchup overview, making it very hard to handle, and due to said homogeneity just less interesting than it is in other games.
I think the only character that's going to take a lot of adapting and time to win with is Maxima.
I agree, he didn't feel very natural for me the first time I tried to open him up in training mode. Thus I never picked him again lol. He is interesting though.I think the only character that's going to take a lot of adapting and time to win with is Maxima.
Based on my limited experience with the series, this hasn't been the case. KOF 98 and 2002 have very dominant top tiers based on matchups, for example.
I think Ash is the same way. You put in the time and work with him, he's crazy good, look at Mr. KOF's Ash. Iirc, he's been playing ash since like kofxi and it pays off for him bigtime.
Heres the tier list #1 Flame Iori, #2 Leona, #3 Shen then everybody else just because thats my team, LOLSo from what I'm seeing here is you put all the characters in the A-SS tiers then you start to rank them and then your tier list is more accurate. o_O?
I really don't see how that is different than diving the characters in other groups such as B,C or even D tier, the way I see it even if all the characters are in the A-SS tiers but in the lower left side they are low tier (I know call me crazy). Bala and I were working on a new tier list but we are going to start from scratch again to meet this new "only A-SS tiers" requirements.
Anyway as of today I find Frionel's tier list the most accurate.

Yay I made a tier list just for fun! WOOOOOOOO TIER LISTS!!!!!!!
A+: Both Ioris, Benimaru, Shen Woo, Both Kyos, Yuri, Hwa Jai, Mr. Karate
A: King, Vice, Billy, Saiki, Takuma, Kim, K', Kula, Kensou
A-:Andy, Mature, Liz, Raiden, Clark, Leona, Ralf, Robert, Ryo
B+: Terry, Joe, Chin, Duo Lon, Ash
B: Maxima, Mai, Athena, Daimon
This is purely my personal opinion after having played a ton down here in SoCal. But, I'm not a top player, so I'm probably wrong!! lol
I'm glad you had the guts to post a list!
Any examples of yuri players you know of? I didn't think she was a contender for top tier.
Other chars I'd be interested in hearing your reasoning about: vice, kula, Robert, mai
Yes, she is. I never really see her on any teams I fight against either - mostly a lot of Robert's, Andy's, and Takuma's for some odd reason. Mai is practically the reason I win most of my matches! (along with Duo Lon, Leona, King, and Claw Iori of course) For one, she has one of the best Neo Max's in the game and her use of projectiles and pokes are QUITE ridiculous. Mai has easy access to HD canceling: cr.B, then chain combo B > D HD Cancel and you can keep going from there. It best not to use her projectile too much - most players should focus on a good air-to-air game as she easily dominates (j.A, J.B, command j.down B, Air Throws, and j.C FTW). Her air-throw is just icing on the cake. Her flaws blatantly obvious - her jumping arcs leave her exposed to AA's, she has three unsafe special moves, and she does no do much damage from mid-screen. Can easily dish out A LOT of damage with just one meter... as long as there is a corner involved. To make her air command move safe if the opponent is on the group is do a safe jump and use the attack just before touching the ground. It pushes the opponent far enough for them not to have many options for a punish and Mai's recovery would have already ended before their block stun end. Also if you throw into character in the corner, she can cross-up by rolling behind them while they are in the corner!Mai is very underrated, she's pretty damn good

Let's Colour
A couple months ago I received an invitation to Jodhpur, India, to be a part of the Let's Colour project. The idea was to bring colour to community spaces around the world in an effort to encourage the people in those areas.
I got a rush visa and was all set to go but there was a mix-up with my flights and I couldn't get there in time. Lucky for us, award-winning director Adam Berg made it to India (as well as London, Paris, and Rio de Janeiro) and has put together a beautiful look at this inspiring project.

Aerial Gypsy Moth Spraying to Begin in May

Aerial Gypsy Moth Spraying to Begin in May
Fairfax County will begin its annual aerial spraying program to suppress gypsy moth caterpillars starting in May. For the second year in a row, this insect population remains high. The caterpillars are a threat because they can kill trees by defoliating them.
- View Map of Treatment Areas
County officials believe the dry weather during the past two years has contributed to an upsurge of gypsy moths. Dry weather inhibits the growth of a fungus that naturally keeps their population under control.
Helicopters will spray a naturally occurring insecticide in 46 areas across the county. A detailed map showing these treatment areas is available at all public library branches, county governmental centers. Treatment areas are chosen through an annual county survey of the gypsy moth population. This year the county will treat approximately 3,500 acres, compared to 4,000 acres last year.
Because weather conditions are unpredictable, county officials do not know the exact days when spraying will conducted. Once spraying begins, it may take seven to 10 days or longer to complete, depending on the weather. Typically, spraying is done in the early morning and at dusk. However, it may continue all day if weather conditions permit.
The county will use a naturally occurring bacteria — Bacillus thuringiensis or Bt. — as an insecticide. Extensive research has shown that Bt. is not harmful to people, pets, plants or beneficial insects, such as honeybees. The spray will not cause any permanent harm to painted surfaces, and residues can be removed with soap and water.
Bt. is registered with the U.S. Environmental Protection Agency for use in forests and residential areas. In addition, Bt. is sanctioned by the U.S. Department of Agriculture and Virginia Department of Agriculture for use against gypsy moths.
For more information about the treatment program, affected areas or
gypsy moths, call the county's Forest Pest Program at 703-324-5304, TTY

SUGAR LAND, Texas - Over the years, the city of Sugar Land has received many accolades, like being named best place to live by Money Magazine. It was also named as the best place to raise a family. Now it can add one more to the list – it's one of the safest cities in America.
Sugar Land has more than 80,000 residents. The city didn't have one murder in 2012. It's now considered No. 20 in the safest cities in the United States, according to Congressional Quarterly.
"We're extremely excited and very proud," Assistant Police Chief Scott Schultz said.
Schultz credited the department working well with the community, along with using the latest technology to solve cases.
"From video cameras to license plate recognition systems, it all plays a big part in helping keep the community safe," said Schultz.
Not far away, the slightly bigger city of Pearland also made the safe city list at No. 48.
But it's bad news for the fourth largest city in the country. Houston is ranked 10th when it came to highest crime rate in the U.S.
Based on the city of Houston crime statistics, last year there were 217 murders, more than 9,000 robberies and more than 26,000 burglaries.
Sugar Land is not immune to crime, but there are days when no crimes are reported.
"We can't stop everything, but we are very proud of our designation," said Schultz.
Other Texas cities on the list include Frisco, Round Rock and League City.

A SECRET garden in the centre of High Wycombe will be converted into homes after a ruling by a Government inspector.
The Wycombe Society has labelled the Planning Inspectorate's decision to approve a plan for houses and flats to be built on a 0.48 hectare area of land behind Hamilton Academy in Priory Road as "tragic".
Wycombe District Council originally threw out the application last October as it would result in the loss of a conservation area.
But Leywood Estates Limited took the authority to appeal and won.
The High Wycombe Society's Chris Wood said: "This is tragic as there can't be many big triangles of land in the town centre which gives us this sense of open space.
"We believe the inspectorate is entirely wrong in their decision and it just proves that it is not only groups like ourselves that are up against these problems but the district councils as well. It really is a great shame."
The plan will see the derelict Fairacre building pulled down, with one terrace of three link-detached homes and a block of six flats built and an access road behind the academy being built on the land.
Inspector Joanna Reid said in her report that, taking into account ecological assessments carried out on the land, the development "would not harm biodiversity and nature conservation in the area".
Hamilton Academy headteacher Graham Aldous said he expect the governors would discuss the matter when they next met in December.
Tim North, agent for the applicants, said: "We are very happy with the Inspectorate's decision, it is the correct decision in this economic climate and my view is that it shouldn't have gone to appeal in the first place.
"As part of the appeal process the applicant has employed a very reputable firm of ecologists to assess the issues and nothing was found that could not be overcome."

text: The Samsung UpStage SPH-M620 has decent call and music quality, an included extended battery, and a complete feature set that includes stereo Bluetooth, a music player, a megapixel camera, and EV-DO support. It also offers an original, ergonomic design that's user-friendly and attractive.The 65,000-color TFT display on the phone side also was a mixed bag. First off, it's tiny at just 1.4 inches diagonally (176x65 pixels). Normally we'd be up in arms about such a small screen, but we understand Samsung's motive--a bigger screen would have made for a bigger phone. It manages to cram in the date, the time, signal strength, battery life, and even photo caller ID, but the tiny dialing and message text may be too small for some users. Display options are also limited; you can change the backlight time and dialing font style only. It's worth noting as well that the display shows only four menu options: call history, contacts list, and options for entering and sending--but not reading--a text message.

242: The Difference
|The Difference
Title text: How could you choose avoiding a little pain over understanding a magic lightning machine?
[edit] Explanation
Cueball pulls a lever. A bolt of lightning comes down and strikes him.
After being dazed for a moment, the comic then takes one of two routes; the first is that of a normal person and the second is that of a scientist.
A normal person would decide not to pull the lever any more, because it seems to cause him to get struck by a bolt of lightning.
But a scientist would pull the lever again to see if it was just a coincidence or if the lever actually caused the bolt of lightning. A scientist requires that results be repeatable before he accepts the results.
The title text refers to the scientist's method of pulling the lever again and again, trying to understand how the machine works as opposed to the normal person, just avoiding pain. This could be a nod towards how scientists sometimes go to extreme measures for knowledge.
[edit] Transcript
- [Cueball pulls a lever.]
- Pull
- [Lightning hits Cueball.]
- [Cueball still stands, obviously battered.]
- [Arrow labeled "Normal Person".]
- Thinks: I guess I shouldn't do that.
- [Arrow labeled "Scientist".]
- Thinks: I wonder if that happens every time.
- [He reaches for the lever again.]

After reading this, I was just waiting for Hatguy to lure various animals over to the lever in order to test it without being harmed in the process... 220.127.116.11 11:06, 2 July 2013 (UTC)
- Causality?
"Cueball pulls a lever. The lever causes a bolt of lightning to come down and strike him." I doubt that. "Cueball pulls a lever. A bolt of lightning comes down and strikes him." is correct. It may be coincidence, we cannot know that without testing. Undee (talk) 10:32, 18 October 2013 (UTC)
- Agreed. And fixed. -- 220.127.116.11 07:59, 8 November 2013 (UTC)
This makes me think that scientists are, in essence... insane... because isn't that the definition of insanity... pulling the lever again... and expecting different results? 188.8.131.52 02:46, 11 June 2014 (UTC)
- It actually isn't the definition of insanity. 184.108.40.206 (talk) (please sign your comments with ~~~~)
What makes you think the result is expected to change? The scientist path isn't pulling the lever again because he's expecting a different result. He's pulling it again to see what happens. Learning more about lightning machines is worth the pain. 18.104.22.168 (talk) (please sign your comments with ~~~~)

How many times a day should my baby who is 6 month old be eating solid food?
How many times a day should my baby who is 6 month old be eating solid food?
At six months of age, milk is more important than solids, particularly if you are a breastfeeding mum. I would just give babe food when they show interest, such as during the times of that you eat. Continue using breastmilk or formula for the bulk of their calories.
If you follow baby led weaning then the advice is to only offer solid food when the baby is not hungry. This is because, as Angela says, milk is more important and nutritious and easy to absorb than solid food from 6-12 months. What works well, is if you breastfeed (or formula feed if this is what you are using) your baby at least an hour before the time you would normally eat. Then your baby can sit with you at family meal times and try food/ play and explore food without getting frustrated that they are feeling hungry. At this young age a baby will not associate eating solid food with helping to alleviate hunger; which is why it is important they still get the majority of their requirements from the milk. At 12 months of age, studies have shown that a baby can still get over 90% of their nutrients from breast milk (as long as they are being breastfed frequently enough). This percentage gradually increases over the second year of life.
It will be of social and developmental benefit to your baby if you include them at family meal times. As long as they are not sleepy they can be included at all family meal and snack times. Healthy, unprocessed food is best e.g. avocado, broccoli, cucumber, steamed chicken, banana etc. As long as the food does not contain nuts or stones (which are choking hazards) and the pieces are cut big enough (to extend from your baby's clenched fist by 1 or 2 inches) then your baby will learn how to manage the different food types and textures and have great fun doing so!
Please let us know how you get on and if you have any further questions.
Best wishes,
Thanks for this great info. I too have a 6mos babe and i introduce solids last month. I wondered if it is really necessary to feed them full of solids, and this answers my question in mind. Just a query, i am giving my babe fresh orange juice at this age - does this harm or do good to my bub? Thanks.
Hi Mandee,
I'm so glad this information was helpful for you. If you want more information on baby led weaning then here is the link to Gill Rapley's book.
The recommendation by Gill Rapley (who has studied baby weaning extensively) is to just offer milk (this can be expressed breast milk if you are breastfeeding) or water with the solid food. In terms of a baby's teeth, for a baby who is 6-12 months old it is better to give them segments of orange juice to suck on rather than a drink of orange juice.
Best wishes,
Hi Mandee,
I would agree with LJ. If your baby shows an interest in a slice of orange, then give them the slice. You want it to be a good size for them to hold on to. I would peel the orange and give them a segment of the orange so that they don 't get a chunk of peel in their mouth, which they could choke on. That's just my personal opinion and not necessarily what the author of Baby Led Weaning teaches (I haven't read the book).
But giving your baby freshly squeezed orange juice before 12 months of age is simply too much sugar at one time, unless you are diluting it with water. I would dilute it more than 50% with water if you feel your baby needs juice, but most babies truly should get their calories from the breastfmilk or formula, and not from juice.
Hope this helps.
Warm Regards,

Police are reminding people in Ilkley to keep their vehicles locked and remove any valuables before leaving them unattended, following the theft of a purse and satellite navigation system.
The warning comes after suspects targeted an insecure MG car in Ben Rhydding overnight on Monday, June 2.
Officers later arrested a 17-year-old from Leeds, on Leeds Road, on suspicion of theft from a motor vehicle.
He has since been released on bail.
Inspector Sue Sanderson, who leads the Keighley Area Neighbourhood Team, said: "We urge people to check their cars to make sure they do not leave them unlocked or insecure.
"Experience suggests opportunist thieves will simply move along if they find a car has been secured, so taking a few seconds to make sure your vehicle is safe really will reduce your chances of being a victim of crime.
"If you have a car with central locking, make sure you press the fob or use the key to ensure it is secure, before leaving it unattended."
She added: "We also advise people to remove valuables from their vehicle when leaving it unattended, as leaving these items in view is inviting a thief to take them."

I think Eugene Reaper might be in The Ballad of Gay Tony because he is in the Three Leaf Clover mission which has Luis Fernando Lopez. Also a lot of backstory in GTA IV was thrown in about him. He played football in high school and he is a Liberty City Gun Club member. Also he is in the mission cutscene Wrong is Right so he might work for United Liberty Paper.
Any thoughts?
User:PackieVercetti 09:17, 25 June 2009 (UTC).
Am I seriously the only person who believes that two more DLCs are coming after BOGT is released? Anyhow there is probably going to be a DLC centered around U.L. Paper that'll explain more about Reaper, but it isn't this one man. User:TommygunAl
I don't know how I didn't make this connection earlier. If Karen and Eugene both work for ULCP, that means Eugene is to Luis what Karen was to Niko. An agent disguised as a friend to get dirt on criminals. This could be why Eugene and Luis are at the bank. They were doing a regular errand when the McReary Mob came in and killed Eugene for trying to be a hero. It makes so much sense now. User:PackieVercetti
- I doubt that Eugene will have a more showtime than what you see in Three Leaf Clover. Didn't you remember that Eugene asks what's Luis' name? He meets Luis there and died soon after.--Spaceeinstein 19:58, 23 July 2009 (UTC)
Nah he didnt have enough detail on his model and i dont think he has a fitting name for a gta protagonist Eugene? not really a 'hard' name ViperJono08
Possible, but not as protagonist. " I'm Eugene and I'm here to kick your ass" doesn't sound right. Plus the fact that he asks for Luis's name is pretty hard evidence Delo19xcrowbarx 08:22, September 7, 2010 (UTC)

You exercise your body to stay physically in shape, so why shouldn't you exercise your brain to stay mentally fit? With these daily exercises you will learn how to flex your mind, improve your creativity and boost your memory. As with any exercise, repetition is necessary for you to see improvement, so pick your favorite exercises from our daily suggestions and repeat them as desired. Try to do some mentalrobics every single day!
Before you start working on a problem, use this exercise to help focus your problem statement. The idea is to zoom out or zoom in and make the problem either more general or more specific. You may discover that the problem is bigger or smaller than you originally thought and this may give you an idea for a creative solution.
For example, suppose the problem is that you have a messy living room. To zoom out, you can ask yourself why questions.
"Why is my living room messy?"
Because I don't have the time to clean it.
"Why don't I have time to clean it?"
Because I am always at work.
"Why am I always at work?"
Because I don't have an assistant to help me finish on time.
In this scenario, we have determined that the problem may be bigger than a messy room. Even if you were to clean your living room, it would just get messy again because the larger problem has not been solved. If you hire an assistant, then you'll have more time at home, and thus more time to keep your living room tidy.
Now try zooming in on the problem. The easiest way to do this is to break the problem into subproblems.
For example, you may narrow the problem to, "My desk is messy" or even "My top left desk drawer is messy" You may find a solution to the smaller problem that you never would have thought of if you had stuck with the larger problem. An added benefit of zooming in is that smaller problems are easier to start and finish than very large problems, so you are more likely to complete them.
If you ever feel overwhelmed with a problem, try zooming in. If a problem keeps reoccurring, try zooming out.

A "Tour de Indiana" starts with The Woods
July 13th, 2011 | SMWC
Cyclists crank it up on Saturday, July 16, 2011, as they pedal from Terre Haute, Ind., to Richmond, Ind., on the National Historic Route 40 for the 25th annual Ride Across Indiana (RAIN). The 156-mile ride, hosted by the Bloomington Bicycle Club, begins at Saint Mary-of-the-Woods College (SMWC) at 7 a.m.
"I remember visiting Saint Mary-of-the-Woods College about 30 years ago," said Jim Schroeder, coordinator for RAIN. "I remembered how beautiful it was and how close it was to Illinois." Not only is the College the staring point, but it is also providing overnight accommodations, including camping, before the ride.
For one rider, Mike Tomey, from Indianapolis, the starting line of the race is much more than a beginning. His daughter, Allison Tomey, graduated from SMWC in 2007. His excitement for the race and to see The Woods again after four years is palpable. "It was a very memorable four years," said Tomey, who visited the campus every fall and spring to watch Allison play on the softball team. "I think it is awesome, especially for me, that the race starts here."
From concerts to symposiums, SMWC plays an important role in the community. Many people come out simply to walk the grounds and enjoy the tranquil beauty of the campus. "I'm sure the cyclists will enjoy starting the ride down your serene, tree-lined boulevard," said cyclist Mike Finger, from Bloomington.
This year, Schroeder and the other volunteers are expecting a record turnout for RAIN. There are already 1300 registered participants, but they expect 1600-1700 to show up the day of the event. "If it is a nice day, there could be a lot more people," Schroeder said. "Some people wait until the day of to see what the weather is like."
The ride includes five scheduled rest stops roughly every 25-30 miles and officially concludes at 9 p.m. at Earlham College in Richmond, Ind.
