an excellent alternative, but it isn't actually available yet.)
So I'd like to do the following myself: map control-L to this

I do this via the Keyboard Shortcuts? Would an .sh script work
best? And if so, can you point me in the right direction for

Portland got another national star turn this morning on NPR with
a story about the migration of twenty somethings to the city
despite relatively high unemployment and low pay. The usual
suspects are trotted out as reasons - lifestyle, hipsters beget
more hipsters, etc. The first is that as societies grow more
affluent one of the biggest jumps on consumption we see is a
jump the the consumption of leisure time. Affluence buys us rest
and relaxation - and the related vacations, travel, etc. This
has been true for some time, over the 19th and 20th centuries we
saw the amount of leisure time increase dramatically in high-
income countries. But I wonder if now what were are seeing is a
generation that puts more worth on lifestyle as opposed to more
material goals. So it is now no longer just more leisure time,
but the quality of your leisure and your work time. Being in a
community that affords quality leisure time activities, like

house in a Family Trust to save it. Is this possible? No!
Companies offering the service of delaying foreclosure are most
likely violating several recent Federal laws. If they charge an
up-front fee, this may also be a felony. Stay away from these
folks. There are lots of companies and individuals that will
assist borrowers to defraud their lenders by filing bad-faith
bankruptcies designed only to delay a foreclosure sale. This is
typically accomplished by transferring a partial interest to a
person or entity already in bankruptcy, and games like that.
Similarly, a living trust does not protect the trust
beneficiaries from loss of the property. After the foreclosure
sale, the real property will be sold and gone. The trust will no
longer own it. The occupants of the property, if any, are
subject to eviction by the new owner. The trust’s, or the
trustor’s, other assets are subject to suit by sold-out junior
lienholders and possibly subject to |

hitman Richard Kuklinski in "The Iceman." Like many a true-
crime tale, the story of Richard Kuklinski sounds like it would
make an incredible movie. A mob-related contract killer,
Kuklinski also murdered for the sheer sport of it; when he was
arrested in 1986, his wife and children had no idea he'd been
doing anything illegal. They thought he was a businessman. "The

that not all true-crime tales make incredible movies. A dreary

that's gone wrong in America. In a classic book called
"Generations" historians theorize that societies go through an
80-year cycle of growth and decay. America in general and
Tresckow, in particular, are at the end of a cycle called an

this happens, churches, schools, governments and other

like this: A country which is very rich in natural resources
becomes dependent on these resources, and less likely to invest
in other things which might be economically important, such
as manufacturing. Countries like Saudi Arabia are textbook
examples of what economists call the ”Paradox of Plenty”,

same time. They show no or very little growth, they are
underdeveloped, politically and economically. A 1995 study of
ninety-seven developing countries by the economists Jeffrey

resources were to a country’s economy, the lower its growth rate

fluttery skirts. Was she a witch...? She didn't think she was.
If that was true, surely she would have been able to use
fearsome magic to escape from this prison. Maybe she would have
liked to be a witch, if it meant she could leave Rokkenjima on
the air as golden butterflies and never come back. But she
couldn't. She'd tried. Escaping was... impossible...
Especially for a weak-willed girl like her. She was far too
pathetic to be a witch. She couldn't be a princess, either,
because nobody wanted to rescue her. She was hardly even a real

Goldberg, noting my Jewish surname, asked me why I thought so
many Jews in Hollywood didn’t care about Israel. He said he was
shocked by the lack of pro-Israel Jews in town. My answer was
simple: most Jews in Hollywood aren’t religious, feel no
connection with the Torah, and have no interest in the State of
Israel. In fact, they feel that they can gain credibility by
bashing the State of Israel, demonstrating that they are world
citizens rather than parochial tribalists. Nowhere is that truer
than in the Center of Smugness, Hollywood. No wonder during the
consistent rocket attacks on Israel from the terrorist group

grains deliver high-quality carbohydrates, but more of them are
avoiding the food group anyway. "It's as if grains are the bad
boys of sports nutrition," says Jackie Berning, a dietitian who
consults with the Denver Broncos, the Cleveland Indians and the
U.S. Olympic swim team. "Unfortunately, even top athletes hear
the consumer message about eating more protein and fewer carbos.
I am always pushing for more whole grains in their diets." But
getting enough high-quality protein need not come at the expense
of carbohydrates. Whole grains can provide both, along with such
nutrients as fiber, potassium, magnesium, chromium and manganese

performance. Some grains are equal to any protein count you

99 Skype Numbers, and can run up to 300 channels. Each of these
channels can handle one inbound or one outbound call. Skype

During fish-ins and other civil disobedience protests of the
1960s and 1970s, tribal members and others were roughed up,
harassed and arrested while asserting their right to fish for
salmon in violation of state regulations at the time. Rep.
David Sawyer, a Democrat from Tacoma, is the prime sponsor of
the bill. He says it's time to allow people to clear those
charges. Lawmakers are hearing public testimony Tuesday

subverts the systemic glutamine homeostatic function of the
liver and results in reduced plasma glutamine levels that can
adversely impact the glutamine-dependent cells of the immune

to: navigation, search Political economy was the original term
for the study of production, the acts of buying and selling, and
their relationships to laws, customs and government. It
developed in the 17th century as the study of the economies of
states which placed the theory of property in the theory of
government.[1] Some political economists proposed the labour
theory of value (first introduced by John Locke, developed by
Adam Smith and later Karl Marx), according to which labour is
the real source of value. Many political economists also looked
at the accelerating development of technology, whose role in
economic and social relationships grew ever more important. In
late 19th century, the term "political economy" was generally
replaced by the term economics, which was used by those seeking
to place the study of economy on a mathematical basis, rather
than studying the relationships within production and
consumption. In the present, politic |

programming languages. It is a combination of the English words
go and to. When executed it causes an unconditional transfer of
control (a "jump") to another statement. The jumped-to statement
is specified using some kind of label, which may be an
identifier or a line number depending on the language. At the
machine code level a goto is a form of branch or jump statement.
In some languages, goto functionality may be present without
explicit use of the keyword goto, such as where a break or
continue keyword may be followed by an identifier denoting a
label. The SNOBOL programming language supports a form of
statement suffix which causes an unconditional transfer of
control after the statement has finished executing. While GOTO

Insect Armageddon is one of those games that will take you back
to the era of arcade gaming, an era long gone where games didn’t
feature incredibly deep narratives or complex gameplay
mechanics; back then games were just fun. It’s worth noting at
this point that this is a budget title and as such you’ll need
to forgive it for certain shortcomings [We've looked at other D3
games in the past - Ed], for example the game slows to a snails
pace when there’s a lot going on, something which the developers
have cheekily called Bullet Time in interviews… In some way that
should give you a vague idea of what you can expect with Insect

something mesmerizing about apocalypdc scenarios. Like an

imagination for rhinking, speculadon for risk analysis and fear

was the so-called "1% doctrine," which Dick Cheney is said to
have advocated while he was vice president in che George W. Bush

the thought. In late May, gasoline prices hit a national
average of $3.22 a gallon which, after correcting for inflation,
is roughly as high as in early 1981, the recent peak. This
elicited the usual expressions of outrage. Sen. Charles Schumer,
D-N.Y., suggested breaking up big oil companies that he says may
be to blame for "the sky-high gas prices." By a 284-141 vote,
the House passed the Federal Price Gouging Prevention Act, which
would make it illegal during an "energy emergency" (to be
declared by the president) to sell gasoline at a price that is
"unconscionably excessive." It's always fun to blame unpopular
occurrences on corporate greed. Schumer's notion, for example,
is that the recent wave of giant oil mergers has so concentrated
U.S. refinery capacity that companies can constrict supply and

DESCRIPTION;ENCODING=QUOTED-PRINTABLE:[POWER POP] Michael
Benjamin Lerner, the man behind Seattle’s Telekinesis, is one of
those rare performers who sings lead vocals from behind a drum
kit. He also plays most of the instruments on his records. You
wouldn’t guess it, though, considering the songs brim with the
energy of a full group. With three full-length albums and a road
band that joins him on tour, the 26-year-old mainly plays power
pop centered on strong electric guitar riffs and boyish vocals.
But his recently released third album, Dormarion—produced by
Spoon drummer Jim Eno—introduces the most varied and expansive
Telekinesis record yet. From waltzing acoustic guitar and washy
synth-pop to distorted rock tracks, the new songs bring
increased layers of depth and exploration to Lerner’s work. |

Computing FAQ What is remote computing? The remote computing
system, which runs Citrix’s Xen Desktop software, provides
desktop computers that are virtualized and stored on centrally
managed servers run by IT Services. Users connect to a virtual
desktop system via a connection broker, which then distributes
user connections to the appropriate centrally managed virtual
machine. All settings, programs and data are stored within each
machine so users can get the same consistent working environment
on virtual desktops -- regardless of where they are connecting
from or what client device they are using. Which devices can
support remote computing connections? Remote desktops can be
run on a number of different computing platforms, including thin
clients, Apple iPads/iPhones, smart phones, and desktop systems
(windows and macintosh) that have a compatible web browser.

-0.142719 | -1.533614 | 17 | Off Limits Art of Darkness When Miguel Flores learned there
was a sudden vacancy on the walls of the nearby Diedrich
coffeehouse at 1201 East Ninth Avenue -- where art shows are
usually booked a year in advance -- the 25-year-old Capitol Hill
resident jumped at the chance to fill it. His exhibit went up
June 3, along with an artist's statement that noted he enjoyed
riding his bike and "making inflammatory statements." Which got
only hotter when he heard four days later that at least one of
his pieces -- an eight-foot portrait of Saddam Hussein -- had to
come down. Seems the "pseudo-liberals" at Diedrich decided it
was offensive, Flores says. Not that he hadn't warned them in
the rest of his statement: "With my paintings, I hope to focus
on iconic imagery and the impact they have in contemporary
culture and media. The two images I have used here are those of
Saddam Hussein and Ariel Sharon. In using Hussein as a subject
matter, I am not seeking to either vilify him or heroize him,
but rather I am asking the |

1.167867 | 2.561026 | -1 | Tell me more × • I am expected to use polite forms when
speaking to someone socially above me. Let's take for example, a
teacher. If our relationship improves, and it becomes
permissible for me to speak casually to the teacher, then if I
speak to that teacher in the presence of another party. How
should I behave? (Question) Is the politeness determined by
accountability to the person I'm addressing, or is it
accountable to external societal pressures? share|improve this
question @Andry already gave a very thorough answer, but I would
pitch in my own anecdotal experience, which is that there is
that 'relationship improvement' doesn't factor so much in the
level of speech you use. There might be exception, but
generally, no matter how long and friendly I'd know someone,
I'll tend to stick to the same level of honorific. – Dave Nov

-0.269129 | 4.914794 | -1 | Take the 2-minute tour × I'm wondering is there any way to
decompose the deformation of an object into different
components? For example, into stretching, bending and twisting
part respectively? The decomposition could be applied to any
description of deformation, either to deformation gradient
tensor, strain tensor or stress tensor. To my knowledge, there
is some literature using the decomposition of deformation
gradient tensor into rotation and deformation part. But what I
want is to further decompose the deformation, leave away the
rigid transformation like translating and rotating.
share|improve this question add comment 1 Answer up vote 1
down vote accepted There is no unique way to "further
decompose" the deformation into the "rigid transformation" and
"others" because whatever "rigid part" you choose, you may
always calculate "others" as a simple difference (that's because
there's really no global constraint on the "other" part). So the
"rigid part" may be anything you want. share|improve this |
0.561798 | 8.196536 | 74 | post #1 of 1 Thread Starter Okay, here's the thing. I recently
bought a new Hypersonic machine, customized... problems galore
at first, DVD-RW (Toshiba SD-R6472) didn't work, kept stalling
whenever I tried to install an OS. Great service, however.. I
called in, they sent a replacement drive, that didn't fix the
problem though it worked, and I called in again to send both
laptop and drive back. Within a week, I got a call that it was
fixed.. and when it arrived, the installation of Windows XP Pro
went perfectly. Now, the drive keeps vanishing from the list at
odd times, and goes invisible, the system can't find it. I have
checked the device manager, and it lists an unknown device,
located on the PCI standard ISA bridge, says drivers are not
installed for it. Does anyone have any ideas as to why the DVD-
RW drive keeps disabling itself, or registering as a CD-RW? |
-0.324855 | 5.785296 | -1 | Auto-locking pet door ensures that your outdoor kitty obeys
its curfew If you’ve got a pet that roams freely in and out of
your house, you may find yourself wanting to more closely
regulate how they come and go. [tareker] was looking to keep his
cat indoors at night when dangerous animals might be lurking in
the neighborhood, but he didn’t want it to become a hassle. He
already had locking pet door on hand, which he hacked to
regulate the egress and ingress of his cat automatically. He
installed a pair of reed switches to determine if the door had
been opened outwards (cat leaving) or inwards (cat returning),
keeping track of the state using an Arduino Nano. A servo motor
attached to the door’s frame locks the door whenever it detects
the cat is safely inside after nightfall. While he also added
an RGB LED to reflect the status of the door, he’s considering
connecting it to the Internet so that he can control and check
the door from wherever he might be at the moment. 1. nah!
