I'm going backpacking for 2 weeks. What tips/hacks/tricks should I know about?

I have reasonable experience backpacking, so the basics I've got covered. Is there something I SHOULDN'T be without? Some sort of DIY thing that will lighten my load?
Edit: Yes, this is a wilderness trip. On and off trail.

I AMA compositor, that retouches some of the worlds top celebrities and models.
|
I am a compositor, that has worked on various T.V. show, Movies, Music Videos and Commercials. I don't do retouching exclusively but it is the bread and butter that allows me to do other more creative projects.
Off hand the only thing I won't answer is specific names of models/actresses and companies I have worked for, because I would prefer not to be sued for breaking a NDA.

What do I do with this pot?
|
I picked this. Once I got it home though, I realized that judging from the looks of the bottom I can't use it on the stovetop before it goes into the oven. I pretty much always starts roasts by searing and sauteing on the stove first, so this is kind of an issue.
So what have I got here and what can I use it for r/cooking?
EDIT: Hey thanks r/cooking. Mystery solved. Never had a slow cooker so I didn't recognize it. Based on the advice here, I'm going to try and find a non-culinary use for it. Maybe I'll use it as a planter or something.

Does anyone build their own design computers? I'm trying to decide whether a workstation video card is worth it vs. a gaming card.
|
I'm building a desktop that will be used mainly for design (Adobe Photoshop, Illustrator, InDesign), but also some 3d CAD in Solidworks and assorted gaming.
I know the workstation GPUs perform better in Solidworks, but I can't find much information about how they benchmark in design applications. There is a ton of info for video editing, but I don't do much of that.
I'm deciding between a Nvidia Quadro 600 and similarly priced GeForce GTX cards (550 Ti or 560 Ti).

SOA still resetting after 1.1.2? Cyclones insta death in phase transition?
|
Anyone else have Soa reset in phase 3 lastnight, despite BW claiming to fix it in the 1.1.2 patch notes?
We saw this happen 3 times. Anytime his current target was mindtrap'd he would instally reset and we would have to exit the instance and start over. Time to retract another patch note claim BW?
Also, the fix for insta death due to Mindtrap during phase transitions is working, but cyclone still removes the affected person from the fight...

How stable and practically usable is the iOS 5.0.1 jailbreak for real by now? I'd like to have the same reliability and freedom as before on 4.3.1.
|
Dear Reddit (first post),
I'm wondering if the untethered jailbreak for iOS 5.0.1 is by now really as sophisticated as the iOS 4.3.1 one.
I have an iPhone 4 (GSM) running a jailbroken iOS 4.3.1 with LOTS of apps, configurations, tweaks... So can I already be confident and finally make the step and update to 5.0.1? Updating and then temporarily staying on 5.0.1 without jailbreaking is not really an option for me. I do not have much time on my hands, so the procedure and especially the aftermath should be as straightforward and clear as a few months back when I jailbroke 4.3.1.
I already saved my SHSH blobs for my iOS version, just to be sure. But can I really dare to update to 5.0.1 and jailbreak? Will iBooks work? Will *everything* (except the Cydia apps, I know the compatibility list) work just as well as on iOS 4.3.1? Is the jailbreak completely stable? Is it likely the "final" jailbreak version for 5.0.1? Will 5.0.2/5.1 (whichever will come) probably become jailbreakable in due course after release?
I really do not want to and cannot afford to repeat the backupping, updating and jailbreaking process every few weeks, so I need a reliable answer on this.
Thank you in advance!

Is Rio really that much better than other coastal capitals in Brazil?
|
Outside of Rio, I only know the coast of São Paulo and Belém (which technically is not on the coast), but in terms of capitals I get the feeling that I'd love any coastal capital in Brazil.
Beaches, hiking, nightlife, local culture, nearby places of interest. To me, these are what make Rio great therefore I think Natal, Recife, Fortaleza, Salvador and Floripa would all be great, too.
Agreed or does Rio have something that I'm not seeing which makes it quite unique? (I'm kind of joking on this point since I know Rio pretty well but in terms of the basics, I think many cities qualify)

You cannot sink all the way in quicksand. Reddit, what are some popular movie/TV show/book/whatever myths you wish more people were aware of?
|
Think of it this way. Water, I'm pretty sure most of us have been in a pool or beach at some point. Sure you sink, but you don't sink all the way down to the bottom. Now consider quicksand. Considerabely more dense than water, don't you think? You can only sink up to your waist in quicksand.
It will take the power of a small car to pull you out though.

Possible to change foundation area GE counts for?

If, say, a GE class is listed as counting for multiple foundation areas but shows up under a certain one in the DPR, is it possible to have it changed to count for a different foundation area? Where could I go to have it changed?
e.g. A class has both Philosophical & Linguistic Analysis, and Literary & Cultural Analysis listed under foundation category. It shows up under Literary & Cultural Analysis in the DPR.
If you've had any experience in this, I would greatly appreciate any help. Thank you!

Multiple Commands per Command Block using double semi-colons.
|
Say you want to make a very compact class-making system, you could use ';;' between commands to make the block do both of the commands, so you aren't limited to one command per block. Example of this is:
(give @p 1 64;; give @p 2 64)
And you'd get 64 Stone, and 64 Grass, using only one block.

Tailgater Defense: A rear-view camera mounted on a license plate or rear of vehicle which streams video or images to a smartphone at any time, to record tailgaters.
|
A camera mounted on the rear of the vehicle which is capable of viewing the license plate of the vehicle behind me, able to be aimed in order to locate the plate no matter where on their vehicle it might be. Perhaps a x2 or x3 optical zoom. A night vision mode would be great. A modded Xbox Kinect camera would be great, in order to give spatial data.
The signal from the camera should be able to be sent wirelessly, via bluetooth or wifi, to a smartphone. The systems I found we not able to transmit to iPhones, or were made specifically for certain navigation systems or vehicles. The camera should be accessible at any time, whether the car is in reverse or whether the car is driving at any speed. The app used to access the camera should be capable of taking full video, as well as taking photographs. This information is invaluable in insurance claims and court cases. The app should also supply information for local law enforcement agencies to report aggressive driving.
An optional front camera, just like the rear camera, able to record the license plate of an aggressive tailgater who has passed you. Preferably, I would like to have a 360 degree coverage of cameras, recording the behavior of all the vehicles around me.
**Edit**: Slimmed down to just the important stuff. No one seems to give a shit what I think about road safety.

DAE think the dubstep list of labels needs a little updating?
|
Never Say Die is a huge one. It includes SKisM]( [Zomboy]( [Dodge & Fuski]( [Eptic]( and [501.
I think (Even though many not like it) OWSLA should be included. That's artists such as Skrillex]( (Like it or not, he is still considered dubstep), [Kill The Noise]( [Seven Lions.
Another label that should be included is Firepower, which includes Datsik]( [AFK]( [Barron]( [Getter]( [The Frim.
Some of the labels need a little fixing too. Like Play Me Records has Tim Ismag]( [Run DMT]( [Dirt Monkey.
Subhuman (Plant Human) also has Mark Instinct]( and [Nerd Rage.
MTA also has 16 Bit](). Rottun Records has [Schoolboy as well.
And guys like like Calvertron]( (Jack Knife Records), [Bassnectar]( (Om Records), [Blackmill]( (Unsigned), [Adventure Club]( (Unsigned), [Chrispy]( (2 Much Bass Records), [Mt Eden and other who have made classic songs. I know not everyone in the world that makes dubstep but at least be a section for Up and Coming for the unsigned that people should be looking out for.

Visiting Penang! Any Redditors want to hang out?

Hi, all -- We are going to be flying into Penang tomorrow (Dec. 30th) and staying through January 3rd. If there's anyone who would care to hang out, maybe celebrate New Year's Eve or just go to the most awesome of food places, please let us know! We're a 28-year old dude from Seattle and a 26-year old lady from New Jersey, and we don't get to hang out with many people who speak English -- we live in a smaller city in Japan, so the English-speaking social scene is a little stunted. If anyone wants to come hang with us, we'd totally be down to buy you a drink or two -- we mostly just want to chill and talk to some people that don't suck.
PM me if you're interested, especially if you like playing Scrabble.

How we the fans can end the lockout. Don't boycott the NHL, boycott their sponsors.
|
So if and when this lockout finally ends the NHL knows as well as we do that we the fans will come crawling back. We may be pissed, we may be bitter, but we all love hockey and we won't be able to help ourselves. They know that any threat to boycott the league once it gets back up and running is hot air and they are right.
That being said, what I *can* live without are the products of companies like Bridgestone, Budweiser, Reebok, etc. If the lockout has taught us anything, the NHL is a business and sponsorship is the #1 thing that makes the business run. If we the fans of hockey begin to preemptively punish the sponsors of hockey through a focused meaningful boycott of their products pressure would be applied to the NHL to resolve the boycott from a voice that actually means something: the one that fills their purses.
It's just an idea and I certainly can't do it myself, but I know that there is no better place than Reddit to get something like this started. What does /r/hockey think?

Help! I am taking pictures for a portrait project at a drama/acting practice, and I have no idea what is going to happen.
|
I am taking pictures of a friend as I chose her to my my model for my Photo 1 class project. I decided that taking pictures of her at one of her drama/acting practices would be an interesting place to shoot her.
However, despite asking her a few times, I have NO idea what stage/theater photography is like.
I have is a Nikon D200 with a AF-S nikkor 18-200mm lens that my dad allowed me to borrow (all I have myself is a camera falling apart), a memory card, batteries and a charger, and a lens hood (which I probably will not be using). I don't even have a tripod for what may be a dark setting.
I have read countless tutorials/articles online...but I still feel severely unprepared. I don't think there's any way I can sufficiently learn about a genre of photography within 11 hours.
What are some essential things I should know about theater photography? What is common on stages (lighting, procedures, etc...). I only know the bare basics...but even so if I'll accept any form of advice.
I feel very foolish for not being able to get more planned out for this project...however...the deed is done. Any help would be greatly appreciated, whether vague or very specific. I'll be online for a while so if there are any questions (which I likely will not know the answer to) I will be able to reply.

The alleged kidnapping of Lyanna Stark played a huge part in Robert's rebellion, and whether or not it was true, you'd assume that most people in the seven kingdoms would have heard the allegations. Does it strike anyone else as odd that not a single person mentions it when speaking of Rhaegar? The only ones (that I recall) who actually mention the kidnapping are Robert and Ned.
Obviously if R+L=J then this sort of information is being intentionally withheld by GRRM, but is there any other explanation?

Ill StaRT:
Great weed: Headies, Kind, Dank, Stank.
Decent weed: Outs, beast/beasties/beasters.
Shitty weed: Shwag, mexican piss, dirt, brown.
When you reservse a blunt and blow smoke into someone elses mouth: Shotgunning. Shotgunning can also be done out of the barrel of a shotgun. If you own one i recommend trying this but make sure its unloaded, cocked the barrel, place the blunt in the bullet feed and blow until you fill the shot gun. The second person then clears the barrel
Iron Lung: Me and mi friends used these all the time when we were in highschool and didnt have much of the green. Its basically a trash bag with a closable spout that you blow the smoke into so you can take the hit twice and get all the THC
My highschool used to call weed Goofy Boots until the teachers caught on, i still use that term. We also used to make one hand into a fist and pat it with the other open hand, kinda like when you cover paper over rock in rock papper scissors. That meant lets pack a bowl.
When you hit a joint until the paper is totally gone: supermanning
When the weed is still glowing and you dont need to use a lighter: Cherried
Hitting a home run: Clear the bong in one rip.
Striking out: Do a shot, homerun a bong then chug a beer
There are more but im high so you guys tell me some!

OK... I want to install an OS on a Sony Viao PCG-505, this will only have 32 MB ram Win98 would be fine... IF it could load... more inside

So I got this Sweet little computer. Its a Sony Vaio PCG-505 Pentium 133MHz 32MB ram and a 6GB hard drive... It does not have a floppy or a CD drive built in... I just got the CD drive in the mail its a PCMCIA CD drive, I have already loaded windows XP once its super slow and can hardly get out of its own way but if I have to I will go back to that.. or Win2k... so I have this great version of Windows 98 that was remade in 2008 it updates all the files from windows 98 to todays programs and still runs on 16MB Ive used it once for a few min and its totally AWESOME but my problem is even though I boot with the CD when it tries and loads the CD drivers it does not find the CD-ROM this version of windows actually tries about 15 different versions of CD drives, even a USB which I have but its a DVD so it doesn't work either cuz I tried to start from the CD and then continue on the DVD with two copies of the win98-2008 but nada... this is not the fault of the windows 98-2008 cuz I have many different copies of windows98 bootable CDs and all of them have the same problem they will boot off the PCMCIA CD and then cant find the CD rom to load the drivers this is so dumb... I am downloading Windows 2000 right now but I feel like im giving up here is the version of windows im talking about:
this is not the original Torrent so it does not show all of the goodies that come with it but you can get the idea...
So does anybody know any other cool retro version of windows 9x or something cool to put on this? Ive tried a few versions of Linux but most seem to crap out with the low ram... I love this computer its all steel but upgrading the ram is out of the question since its a kind of ram I have never seen before hard to explane it but it seems to click on the board in two mounts Ive seen all types but never this kind... maybe since this is a Chinese version of this computer? (this made no difference with windows XP so please dont blame that) Ill keep trying things I know if I had a floppy drive I could do it but thats not happening for a while (until I find one under 30 bucks on eBay) I have no OS on it right now but I have ran XP on it so I can defiantly run 2k but thats just XPs older retarded brother but Ill use it if I have to LoL... I just wanna run a decent GUI with the WEB (I got a PCMCIA WiFi card -Netgear wg511t- if you wanna recommend a Linux version that has support for that) and I want to run all the great old windows 9x/DOS games I remember from my childhood and I want to run them out of DOSBox if I can... I dunno Im blabbing but Im trying something else now... let me know oh yea here is the laptop:
Its a little strange since it has no letter after the PCG-505 and its only a Pentium 133 I think..... its all steel and is thinner then my Macbook...

Hey Reddit, why do people get so upset with reposts and stories they fear are made up?
|
So long time lurker, finally created an account a while back and over the years I have wondered a few things about the hive mind. Why do people have such a problem with reposts? Especially if they are getting a lot of upvotes, clearly some people haven't seen it before or if they have, it's funny enough to see it again. So why the hate? Just click back and go on your merry way. Yeah sometimes people try to be sneaky and say something like it's original, so downvote and click back. I don't see why so many people get upset.
Next.
Why do so many people try to find flaws in stories or call it out for being fake? There's no rule to tell the truth on the internet. I understand in cases where donations or some sort of charity is taking place to make sure but with someone just telling a story, why is it a big deal if some tells an entertaining tale that's fake, but awesome? People get upset and I have probably missed out on quite a few good stories because of downvotes, why?
The why is what I want to know. So give me a hand Reddit, why so serious?

Realtek HD Audio Manager on my Asus P8P67 allows "speaker fill" and "bass management" which gives me bass from any source in windows, but the bass is very very low and the quality not comparable.
Is there ANY inexpensive solution to fix this? I never thought it would be this hard to find a way to split frequency contents across ports on the soundcard!
I am open to anything. Some kind of software filter? A video player with crossover capabilities like foobar? A new soundcard for electronic crossover? External crossover? As long as I could get good quality audio for video content as well as music files, and not pay more than is reasonable I would be happy.

Anyone know Artificer General Nemo/Stormwall's Release date?
|
So, I'm sorry if this is common knowledge, but I was wondering if anyone knew a definite release date for Stormwall/Artificer General Nemo? I've seen June 13 tossed around on the forums a couple times. Is this the actual release date? For one(which?) or both models?
I'm really looking forward to getting these, and I'd like to know when they are coming out.
Thanks
EDIT: Question answered. Confirmed as June 13 for both.

Mojang: Ruining the PVP and Hardcore Community with Every Update!
|
I play on a hardcore PVP server, and I have to say that the most recent updates to this game by Mojang have been absolutely terrible. The game has been directed towards none other than pure single player, and it is disgusting. The reduction of enchanting from lvl 50 to lvl 30 is one of the most ridiculous implementations thus far. "Instead of having to wait until lvl 50 for a nearly perfect chance of getting a good enchant, you can waste 5x as much diamond enchanting at level 30!"
Congrats, mojang. You have reduced the amount of time it takes to get to the max level- but now we have to do it several times, over and over again, to get a good enchant. This is a terrible update.
Reducing mob grinding is going to ruin this game. If you are too lazy to build a grinder, then you don't deserve enchanted gear. Bottom line. Invisibility potions are on the same level of fail, allowing people to follow one another to bases and gain an extremely unfair advantage in pvp. Don't even get me started on the wither potions or the bullshit pyramids that are also planned to be added in 1.4
Mojang: Instead of adding a bunch of useless, single-player orientated garbage items to the game, how about you fix the atrocious lag and horrific bugs associated with this game? You guys are ruining online multiplayer, and I can't imagine you will release many more of these god-awful patches before the community of my server is ruined forever.

Moving Linux Mint 12 from VM to the host PC.
|
So I was fed up of Vista on my laptop, and as I've used Linux on and off for the past 15 years I figured I'd try Linux Mint 12 on a VirtualBox VM. Since installing it on the VM I've not used Vista at all, so I want to basically wipe the hard drive completely and copy the Linux Mint 12 installation off the VM onto the blank drive.
I can easily move the VM onto another PC (done that before), and I can easily repartition/format the drive in the laptop after that. I've also got a USB hard drive that I can use to copy the files off the VM onto the freshly wiped hard drive, but I don't know if that's enough. I would imagine the OS will freak out when the files are simply copied from a VM's virtual hardware onto a real machine with completely different specs / driver requirements, etc.
Is there an easy way to do this? In short I just don't want to have to go through the hassle of setting everything up again, installing all the apps I need, configuring everything, finding files/drivers/etc, all over again if I can just copy a few folders of stuff across.
Thoughts?

Barbers/Hairstylists of Reddit, do you prefer to chat with your customers or to have them sit there in silence and let you do your job?
|
As a guy, I used to just go to Supercuts or whatever to get my haircut at whatever location was convenient. Now I have found an awesome dude who cuts my hair perfect. But it seems whether I am going to this new guy (have seen him like 7 times now) or some random Supercuts person, it's always a crapshoot of whether we'll be chatting the whole time or if we just sort of sit there.
I feel kind of awkward when I sit there in silence with my new dude. So, is the onus on the customer or the hairdresser to get the chat started?

A Southern Church Has Demons
|
This is a story re-told by me from a friend of mines aunt who lived in the very deep south. I had the chance to actually visit this actual church and when I say its in the backwoods country, I mean these people have to pump in sunshine its so far back. Its always intrigued me the stories she told of her old church. Tell me what you think...
Picture the cliched classic southern baptist church, old, small, painted white with a long pointed steeple with a cross on top. You know EXACTLY what you see in the horror movies. It sits in the back of a lot thats owned by one of the members of the church, surrounded by tall pines draped with spanish moss. Its in here that some of the most horrific demonic possession stories I've ever heard come from. One evening during church service, an elderly woman in her eighties came up to an alter call to get prayer, the preacher lays hands on her as accustomed for most people that go up there to get prayed for. As soon as the pastors hand hits the top of her white stringy hair she suddenly lets out an ear splitting shriek (the way my friends aunt described it was as if she had two voices screaming in different octaves) and she begins to yell in deep double toned voice, "Get your dirty fucking hands off the bitch!" To which the pastor fully ignores, he begins to tell the demon to release the woman in Jesus name. Her head suddenly snaps 90 degrees backwards as if she has no neck bone, and starts hysterically laughing. The pastor commands the demon to speak his name, it refuses to say who it is. The woman then violently began turning her neck and starts looking around the room and points at a man sitting in the back deep in prayer (i always thought this was kinda funny) and she yells, "COCK FIGHTING!" Come to find out later that man was suffering from a gambling problem and he fought chickens, which is highly illegal anywhere but is a huge deal in the deep south. So, the pastor continues to fight with the demon in the woman and says again, "Give me your name demon!" She turns and looks him in the eye and says, "Legion, for I am many." The pastor dumbfounded, just starts reading scripture as quick as he can, when he suddenly says, "The blood of Jesus Christ runs through the isles of this church tonight!" The woman's head goes back again, screaming in the double toned voice this time only higher pitched, then suddenly falls to the ground, catchers herself with the palms of her hands and has her legs stretched out completely straight in front of her. She starts running around the church, on her hands screaming at the top of her lungs, "WHERE IS IT?!?! WHERE IS IT?!? WHERES THE BLOOD??!" The pastor tells her, "Its all around you! theres no escaping it! Your in the house of GOD!!" She drops flat on the floor, some of the church deacons come over to help. They pick her up and immediately she starts praising god and praying out loud crying her withered old eyes out. I don't know what your religious beliefs are, but personally after I heard this story not from only the aunt but also from a member of the congregation that night, I prayed a little harder that night...

Civil discussion with a Christian Apologist brought up some questions about "evidence"
|
This otherwise reasonable man was aware of most of the actual history of the early church (gospels written 30-70 years after the death of Christ etc), but naturally, what he called evidence was lacking, and seemed to be mostly based on eyewitness accounts. Since I knew that whatever his evidence was wouldn't be real evidence and we were on a deadline, I didn't press him on the evidence, and instead concentrated on the philosophical arguments against god, but now I'm curious.
What is the most common "evidence" that Christians bring up to support their belief in Christ?

Does anyone else think someone needs to create a website of guitar tabs that are tabbed exactly to the tabs that Rocksmith uses?
|
It would make it so much easier to learn certain songs. I can look up tabs now but it's hard for me to tell if they are correct or not some times, and obviously they will be wrong if the tuning is something other than standard or Drop D.
I wish I had the time to do this. It would be just if there were means for people to submit tabs that they tabbed out using rocksmith too. I don't know, just a thought if anyone looking to create a web page and has a lot of free time...

Feel Like I Found A Magic Bullet For Stopping Hydro Vico Withdrawals
|
So obviously a throw away account but I feel I found a magic bullet for the rest of you to try. I have tried to Kick Hydro several times in the last year after using heavily for about 3 years. Long story short Tramadol seemed to cut almost entirely all cravings, withdrawels, depression, and I could sleep. Every time I tried to kick the habit before I just gave up from a combo of the above problems. Tramadol is supposedly mildly addictive but I had no problems stopping using it. Tramadol is non narcotic and I don't think it ever came close to making me high. In fact if I took too much it gave me headaches. Anyway thought I would share what seems to be the best godsend ever for kicking the habbit. It is not going to address the reasons why you use or fix underlying mental problems but as far as the physical goes it worked like magic for me.

Hancock Fabric won't Honor 50% off coupon for "Cheap Fabrics"
|
I went to the Hancock Fabric on Piedmont Rd in Atlanta and instead of honoring my coupon for 50% off for the fabric I picked, the employees there told me that since the fabric was already so cheap that they wouldn't let me use the coupon.
The only exclusions on the coupon are "Daily Deals" and "Comfy Fleece", this fabric was neither. It was marked as a "Value" fabric that the manager later claimed was in fact the Daily Deal. She said this only after it was clear that there was nothing preventing the use of the coupon for the fabric. There was no sign that said Daily Deal anywhere labeling the fabric as a Daily Deal. However, when you enter the store there was a table with clearance items that probably fits the description of Daily Deals. This fabric was nowhere near this table.
Anyway, I think was upsets me the most is that once at Jo-Ann's I picked up some fabric that was marked as on sale. At the register they told me that in fact the sale had been the day before but since it was labeled as on sale they would still give me the discounted price. That's why I've never had a problem going there, because I've always had a positive experience there. I've gotten awesome deals at Jo-Ann's and for Hancock to say no because my deal was too good is absurd.
So if you're in the Atlanta area, head somewhere else for fabric if you want to use a coupon on cheaply priced fabric.

How will shocklands affect other cards prices?
|
1. more shocklands means prices will drop ( greater supply)
2. Hopfully this will lead to modern becoming a stronger format, increasing demand for other cards.
Question: what other cards will see an increase due to shocklands returning? Fetchlands seems an obvious choice and the onslaught ones are avg $50ish so probably going to get reprinted after ravnica is my guess.
Just pick the most popular modern decks and get their main cards?
Any other thoughts on what may rise dramatically if modern kicks into high gear?

If you robbed a bank, paid off your student loan before you were caught, how much time in jail would you do and would the loan still count as being paid?
|
I'm not thinking of doing this myself, but the thought crossed my mind that someone could attempt this. I was reminded of John Q when I thought this up. Essentially, say I was robbing a bank and I made up an elaborate scheme and no one was hurt. Let's say I use blanks in the gun, and then as soon as the loan was paid, I turned myself in. How much time in jail would one likely spend? (say they were on good behavior while in jail too.
On top of that, would the police remove the money from the loan place and the loan would just revert back to normal, making the whole thing worthless or would the loan be counted as paid making the crime the only punishment to pay for now. (Would you be expected to pay the money back after having done the time in jail?)

I'm the new president of my university's Racquetball Club. Need some help.
|
So 2 semesters ago I got elected to be the president of my university's racquetball club, so this ending semester (Fall 2011) was my first semester in charge and things didn't quite go as I planned.
One of my biggest problems was that the strongest chunk of our club graduated and left the club with less people and much less talent. As I tried to recruit people for the club I would get many interested but few would actually join the club after a few practices.
I was left with 16 consistent players (some come and go as they wish but I'm not allowed to get rid of them), which is a good number given the amount of courts we have but there is a lack in motivation for the players to improve. We are part of a colligate racquetball league and are nowhere near our competition.
What are some tips that could help me improve the players and the club as a whole?
Some notes:
We do have funding for the club but we are not allow to pay coaches.
We currently don't have a coach.
We have three two hour practices each week.
Thanks!

Avec un temps de même, y'a tu moyen de dépasser moins vite sur les routes ?
|
J'ai pas de leçon à donner à personne, mais je comprends toujours pas comment ça qui a du monde qui conduit de la même façon l'hiver que l'été.
Même avec la glace et les remblais de neige entre les voies, on se fait dépasser trop rapidement. Les accidents arrivent tout le temps, des fois ça peut être de notre faute, d'autre fois celle des autres, mais il me semble que c'est plus simple quand tout le monde ralentit un peu.
Alors je regardais ces deux clips là sur /r/morbidreality (le site est NSFL en passant) :
Dans le premier, la caméra est à l'intérieur d'une des voitures qui subit l'impact. On voit une voiture qui tente un dépassement dans la voie inverse, y'a de la neige, y'a pas le temps de dépasser ni le temps de freiner, impact frontal inévitable (on ne voit rien et on n'entend rien de nécessairement *troublant*.)
L'autre est assez terrible parce qu'on voit le VUS se faire littéralement désintégrer par un camion qui vient à sens inverse. Cette fois on voit le VUS dépasser un camion par sa voie de dépassement (sur une route à 4 voies qui se rencontrent), il dérape légèrement, perd le contrôle tout de même, se retrouve dans la voie inverse et BAM.
Alors c'est normal de dépasser sur les routes, mais il faut résister à la tentation de **trop** accélérer. C'est jamais ben long à faire un dépassement de toute façon. Et ça va toujours me faire plaisir de me faire dépasser par une voiture qui roule à 105-110 km/h au lieu de 120-130.
C'est le fun conduire l'hiver, prenez donc votre temps.

Having problems maintaining a skid.
|
About a month ago I bought a Micargi single speed bike to get around school (keep in mind i knew nothing about bicycles). Recently i found out that the wheel has a dual hub so yesterday I decided to flip the wheel to try out riding with a fixed gear. I picked up a cheap set of toe clips and I've been practicing skidding, track standing, and just generally getting used to riding fixed all day, but I'm having trouble maintaining a skid. I can start one but the rear tire just really wants traction. Here's what I believe may be the problem.
-gear ratio (not sure what it is but I can check it out tomorrow morning)
-tire (slick, no tread and rather thin)
-lack of muscle for skidding (I definitely feel sore on the inside of my thighs)
-lack of experience
I'm also still horrible at track standing, but I'd appreciate any advice. Thanks

My first big sysadmin project questions/advice: Part 1 (AKA Please help a n00b)
|
I have my first big sysadmin project planned, and I would appreciate if you could help me to refine my plan and clear up the many questions that I have. I have 5 main question/advice threads I will be starting, and I hope that you can help me do this project the best possible way, and I also hope that these topics can guide the next budding Windows Sydsadmin. My main areas of concern/questions will be:
1. Questions about SANs (in general), Strategy for Deployment, and Best Practices
2. Questions about vSphere, Setup for HA, DRS, vMotion, and Best Practices
3. Domain/Active Directory Setup
4. Exchange setup
5. The Big Switch To the New Domain
**Part 1: SANs**
I currently have a Windows 2000 level domain, with a mixture of 2000 and 2003R2 servers. I am running Exchange 2003 SP2. All of my server roles are spread out among 15+ physical servers. I have finally convinced the powers that be that it is time upgrade both hardware and software, and I am getting:
* 2 Dell R720 Servers w/ 32gb ram, dual 6c Xeons, and 8 ethernet ports per server (diskless config, loads the hypervisor from redundant 2gb SD cards)
* 2 Force10 Switches for ISCSI
* 1 Equalogic PS6100E 12tb ISCSI SAN
* 2 Server 2k8R2 Enterprise Licenses (4 VM' licenses each) w/ user CALs
* Exchange 2010 w/ user CALs
* vSphere 5 Essentials Plus for 2 hosts
* Appassure Backup/Recovery Software for 2 hosts
What I'd like to do is to design a brand new virtualized domain from the ground up. However, this being my first real foray into using a SAN and Virtualization at the enterprise level, I have some n00b questions and hoped that /r/sysadmin could help me refine my strategy.
N00b questions:
* How idiot proof is the Equalogic setup? How should I decide to segregate my space?
* I'm told that a LUN is essentially a partition, but how should I split up the partitions, and if I decide to make a partition the main fileshare, does the SAN control permissions at the SAN level via Active Directory/LDAP integration, or do traditional fileshares need to be controlled my the VM's OS and shared w/ permissions like a traditional non-centralized storage setup?
* Should I segregate my VM's and fileshares onto different LUNS, or one OS per LUN with its own fileshare, or throw everything on to one massive LUN/partition?
* How do I optimize my SAN traffic? I read some things about partition alignment, but it doesn't sound easy to do.
* Do I setup my own block size, or does Equalogic setup automate that for me?
* **Super newbie question** Does ISCSI use normal CAT5e ethernet cords, or do I need special cords to connect the SAN to the switches?
Thanks for your help, and I appreciate any insight you can provide for my upcoming threads/questions!

What don't you like about Iceland?

Hi there. I'm An American. Dont get me wrong, I love my country, but I think Iceland is pretty dope too. In fact I'm learning the language out of just sheer fun. Anyways I always like to hear about other cultures . I have an Icelandic friend who's a great salesman for her country. However I don't like wearing rose colored glasses when it comes to knowing about other countries. Each country has its good and it's bad qualities and whenever I hear anything regarding Iceland its generally positive. But I want to hear some cold hard truths from the Icelanders themselves? What don't you like about Iceland ? I'm
hoping that this thread will ultimately give people a better insight before moving to Iceland because frankly I was lurkin your subreddit a few days ago and I saw this one guy who hated where he lived and wanted to move to Iceland and he thought pretty much Iceland was was nothing but natural aesthetics, organic farming, and Sigur Rós. I couldnt help but chuckle a bit at that myopic view.

Sleep affected after starting LG
|
I started LG about 2 weeks ago and noticed (almost immediately) that my sleep was getting affected.
Before LG I would go to bed around 11:30pm and then normally wake up at 7:40am (sometimes on my own but mostly by my alarm clock). On weekends when I didn't have to get up early for work I would sleep in (until around 9am).
After LG I noticed that I hardly ever sleep in. Actually I wake up on my own around 7am (sometimes even 6am) and just feel like waking up. I still go to bed around the same time, around 11:30pm so I'm not sure why all of a sudden I'm constantly awake around 7am. Even on the weekends this is happening. I know I can sleep in but I just get up at 7:40 anyways because I feel awake.
Has anyone else noticed odd sleeping pattern changes after starting LG?
I'm not saying this is a good/bad thing, I'm just wondering why this is happening.

Lat pain, not sure what happened. Anyone have experience with this?
|
Yesterday I worked chest and bi's as part of a new split I'm trying out. This morning though, my left lat cramped up during my cardio session. I have never experienced that before and it hurt like a bitch.
So now (about 6 hours later) my lower left lat experiences a pretty sharp pain if I even begin to stretch it or if I flex it. When it's just relaxed it hurts just a little and feels like it's constantly about to cramp.
Sorry this is the best way I can describe what's going on. Has anyone experienced something similar? Do you guys think its pulled or hyper-extended or what? Not sure what I should be doing. I'm taking OTC tylenol for the pain, but it's not helping much.

Dear Philosophy Majors of Reddit, I'm considering a philosophy major and figured I could possibly find a push In the right direction here.

Philosophy STRONGLY interests me, however I worry about the actual usefulness of such a major when applied to the business oriented world.
It is a topic I feel I can continuously learn about until the day I die.
Philosophy majors of Reddit, how do you apply what you learned throughout the course of your education to daily life and productivity?
Are there any industries/jobs that would encourage such a major?
What exactly can you do with such a major other than...teach philosophy?
Would it be best to minor, and possibly major in something else such as Sociology or English of some sort?

Do American law degrees carry any kind of weight overseas?
|
I'm a graduating 3L who is becoming less and less enthralled with the prospect of a career in criminal law (the area in which the majority of my work experience has been).
Add to that a complete lack of meaningful personal ties in the US, despair regarding the stateside job market, and a life-long desire to live in another country.
I'd like very much to find a job (any job that will pay the bills/student loan debts) overseas, but I'm wondering what kinds of places I should start looking. I have no marketable skills beyond those I learned in various public defender offices and my school's legal clinic, but I'm also not looking to make any kind of serious cash either (again, so long as I can stay afloat on loan payments). I'd be completely fine taking a non-legal job, in fact I might even prefer it, but it seems like a law degree is probably my best bargaining chip given my lack of work experience.
Does anyone know a good starting point for this kind of thing? Any countries that are keen on hiring US lawyers or Americans with advance degrees? I really am willing to go anywhere, from Panama to South Africa to Siberia to Belfast to rural Japan.
Thanks.
EDIT: Thanks everyone for the responses. To clarify, I'm talking more about non-lawyer jobs. Things in business or a field tangentially related to the law, but not necessarily requiring a law license to do the job.

Where do you see Cloud Gaming as becoming valuable to you as a consumer?
|
Cloud gaming till this point has been a failed attempt in my eyes. Back in the days of GameTap I see major issues. When I had issues playing worms I quickly dismissed it though it was a download type service.
Now we are seeing cloud computing getting a little bit more headway.
Mostly I'll be refering to OnLive because they seem to want to implement new features for users. What first caught my attention was the ability to play on Tablets/Phones with their controller. This appealed to me because I'd face situations like regular visits home to the family and be stuck without a good computer or game to play (unless it was a rare time when there was a good PSP/DS game out).
I further took notice when they had a free weekend and tried to talk to friends about playing. My first response was "God this will take forever to download and even try... oh wait. I don't have to download anything, do I. I can probably be playing 30 minutes after I get home all from signing up."
They again caught my eye with an app for Android that allows you to watch people playing on OnLive (not sure how it works but one would assume you sign up to be watched).
So thats the setup to this.
Now I begin to wonder where this sort of feature moves to. While I am interested in the service I see with it the same issues I see with any game you download from say steam or god forbid origin. I don't HAVE the game. Granted because I can't re-sell it I don't really have it in disc form anyway but still I know many out there understand the mentality.
Furthermore if I have no internet I immediately have new issues. While this remains a concern the fact is on a concious level I realize its very uncommon for me to not have internet. In fact I face more time traveling without video games to occupy downtime than I do with disabled internet. There is also the issue of bandwidth usage, which is still a concern but I imagine not much more than if someone would have spent that time watching netflix otherwise (though in house play might cause issues). However these issues remain issues because I cannot escape the mentality of the idea.
This also got me thinking at which point I would utilize cloud gaming. For one transfering between computers would be much better but thats a given. For another bigger thought I would be much happier trying out games. In one instance where because I am a PS+ member I decided to try a trial of Infamous 2. Literally 3 days later on a connection that can get 1.8MB/s from steam I was at 80% download. If I am testing a game then I don't know if I am sold. If I can start trying it out in under 60 seconds I would be more likely to actually pay attention to it. I have downloaded plenty of demos, only about 33% get played.
Furthermore I would be happy to purchase the game from OnLive and receive a physical copy along with it and pay say an extra 10 dollars to enable cloud gaming. This would allow me to play at home and then take it with me when I travel while still keeping bandwidth usage down. This also makes it more of a feature on an existing standard and less of something I have to get used to.
So at what point do you see this kind of gaming as valuable to you? When would you be willing to make your first purchase? With a 15 dollar simple game? With a big time game you want around the time you will be traveling? With a game your not 100% interested in but is on sale? Or do they need to give you something else in order to get you interested?
If Steam integrated this... why I think I'd be the happiest man alive.

Girlfriend [26] is grieving over childhood friend in ICU, how can I comfort her?
|
Together 2 years. I'm 31. My girlfriend [26] has two childhood friends with whom she is very close. A few days ago one of those friends was in a car accident and has since been in a coma in an ICU. From what the doctor said it is likely that she will have permanently reduced cognitive function. An MRI will was performed tonight and tomorrow the doctor will have a better idea of her projected mental state at that point. Aside from the head trauma, she is relatively okay physically.
My girlfriend is taking this very hard, and I'm not sure what I can do to help. I am afraid of what might happen if the doctor has really bad news. I worry that she is heading towards some type of crisis of her own. She is spending a significant amount of time at the hospital. Her other friend is there sometimes as well. She sits in the hospital room and reads out loud or plays music for her friend. When she comes home she spends her time looking through old Facebook posts, pictures, and going through her old journals. She's not sleeping very much and when she does come to bed she lays down and sobs uncontrollably. Often during the night she wakes me up and asks me to hold her while she cries, which I do. Sometimes she tries to be strong emotionally and sometimes when I interact with her she is distant and forgetful about things. She stares off into the distance with a glazed look in her eyes and when I attempt to interact with her sometimes she looks as if her eyes have trouble focusing and comprehending what she is looking at. She says she feels like she's living in a surreal world.
Are these signs of normal grief? What more can I do to comfort her? I go with her to the hospital when I can which is not often enough because of my work schedule. I tell her try to be hopeful and offer other words of encouragement but I don't think that helps. I tell her I love her and try to show her the same as much as I can. What else can I do?
TL;DR - GF is grieving friend in ICU with head injury who likely will never be the same person. How can I comfort her?

Whats one stage you hate in any sonic game?
|
I have been through many stages that I hate, but one in particular just aggravates me. That stage is Mystic Cave in Sonic 2 more specifically act 2, no matter how many times I've played in my life there have been so many times I've gotten myself trapped in that one pit with no escape.

Id there a need for a game designer with no programming knowledge? Or does that make me useless?
|
(Edit: This isn't a job inquiry! just looking for some opinions and maybe a few peoples experience)
History: (Scroll down for tldr)
I'm now 27, all my life I have working with, tweaking, playing, creating stuff and been involved in games. I am very handy with a computer, I build them for a living and have pretty extensive knowledge in a broad range of general PC knowledge. So, I can get things accomplished easily. I went to college for game design, understand the process, and have a pretty good knack at it...
But, my downfall...
I have effectively zero programming knowledge. I understand how it works, I can follow reading it, I am a very logical person, I could even debug the logic for it (in English) I just can't stand doing it...
I regularly have ideas for games, but dismiss them because I could never actually create them without any programming knowledge.
Is there a place for someone like me in the game industry? Are there programmers out there who have no creative side that need someone with an open mind and ideas that only know how to code? Or are the programmers pretty well set in coming up with their own ideas and turning them into games?
I would love to team up with a programmer to work on some ideas, or be a part of a team for creating something already made that needs another mind or fresh look. Should I actually write my ideas down and look for a programmer, or do I need to bite the bullet and learn coding to pursue this? Is programming knowledge a prerequisite to even be considered for a game project?
Thanks for any opinions and ideas,
Mog
TL;DR: Do I need to know programming in order to be a part of a game design team, or am I s.o.l?

Quick question in regards to Illinois
|
I am not a resident of IL, but when travelling back home I have to transit IL in a car. I am wondering if anyone has an idea of what the laws are in regards to this. From what I understand, I must stop prior to IL, unload my firearm, put it in a case, in my trunk, and seperate the ammo in a different case. Is this accurate? I know IL does not honor any CCW's.
Additionally, if you have driven through IL, what did you do? Have you been pulled over in IL with firearms in the vehicle? When making this trip, I do not have to stop in IL for fuel thankfully.
Thanks for your advice/help!

What is the best way to reheat meat?

Whenever I want to reheat a steak or something, it always ruins the meat. I like my steak med. rare, but if a situation ever arises that I need to reheat it, the steak cooks through all the way. What is the best way?

Why do rockets carry all their "thrust production" on-board? Why isn't some of the thrust provided by an "external source" (e.g., a catapult-type system)?
|
Weight is supposed to be a big problem for rocket launches, so why is all of a rocket's thrust provided by something which it also has to carry?
On aircraft carriers, aircraft are catapulted off the deck because the deck is too short. Couldn't some kind of "catapult"-type system be used for rockets?
Are there methods like this that we could hypothetically use that are just too cost-prohibitive compared to conventional rockets?
Finally, I remember when I was a kid reading about using some kind of "gauss rifle"-type system for shooting rockets into space using sequential electromagnets. Is this completely absurd?
EDIT: To clarify, I'm not suggesting a rocket that had *no* on-board propulsion, just one where *some* of the thrust is provided by a ground-based "launcher."

Can anybody suggest a few good techno christmas songs?
|
I am having a christmas party with a few of my techno loving friends. I need quite a few songs. It's a about a 3 hour party, I'm sure that they wouldn't mind it looping a few times. Though I don't want to only have 5 songs looping for 3 hours. Pretty much any techno version of any christmas song would do. Some of them may bring their kids, so it can't have too many swears or vulgar language in them.

If HIV virions fuse with CD4+ lymphocytes by
connection of the GP120 glycoprotein to the CCR5
receptor on the cell wall, why can't HIV interferon
be developed to attach to the GP120 molecule?
|
I realize that the extraordinarily wide genetic diversity of HIV can lead to many different envelope proteins expressed on different generations of virions. However, all I have read about HIV indicates that it can only fuse with a host cell via the GP120 glycoprotein. Assuming HIV cannot bind without a functional GP120 receptor, why can't an interferon molecule be engineered to attach to GP120?

Can we compile a list of all Sagan audio recordings? Audiobooks, presentations, interviews, etc?
|
This is what I currently have:
- Cosmos podcast edition
- Pale blue dot (only about half narrated by Sagan)
- The demon haunted world (not narrated by Sagan)
Anything else? Download links would be a huuuge plus.
Thanks!

Who would you like the Coyotes to face in the first round?
|
Personally I'd love to see the Coyotes face off against the Red Wings once more. The rivalry has been built up over the last two playoffs and I'd love to see the coyotes get some revenge.
I'm pretty sure this is possible as long as Chicago beats Detroit in regulation during their last game and Phoenix holds their division lead. This would put Detroit in 6th (Chicago wins the tiebreaker which is head-to-head wins) and Coyotes retain the 3rd spot.

According to the Quran, how important is this kind of reaction to the recent mockery or your prophet?
|
Hello Muslims, Christian person here. I recently saw a video of a guy trying to explain to everyone how to act when the faith of Islam is being ridiculed. This is the video. This fellow says that the prophets have been mocked and ridiculed all throughout history. He also states that this kind of mockery is to be expected even today. How much does the Quran emphasize on this kind of thing? Why do I see many people having riots and showing violence after they saw the absurd video on Youtube even though many of those people follow the Quran? Obviously each kind of faith has their extremists and even Christianity has many of them as well but, what I want to know is, exactly how much does the Quran teach regarding tolerance and acceptance?
I am not mocking you guys or any of the rioters in the middle east or anyone that took offense, I just want to know more about Islam. I take it that the Quran teaches Muslims to tolerate and be patient whenever their faith is being bashed, but that is just my assumption.
EDIT: Mistake in title, meant to say 'of your prophet'. Sorry

Is narrow ramp to the main always necessary in 1v1 maps?
|
I saw some BW maps today, and found out that many of them don't have a narrow ramp to the main, even though the locations of 1st-3rd bases are quite similar between BW and SC2. The biggest difference is just no narrow ramp to the main. Why is narrow ramp to the main a necessary component to the 1v1 maps in SC2?

Anyone have sperry boat oxfords and can help with sizing?
|
I have slightly wide/flat feet so I need corrective insoles (superfeet blacks are really slim but still add 1-2 mm). I wore a 9.5 in their boat shoes but there was a bit of front to back slippage and I am probably a 9 in their boat shoes truly.
Could someone compare the two's fit and also tell me if the oxfords give enough for me?
EDIT: I wore 9.5 boat shoes WITHOUT insoles, but I plan to wear oxfords with. I don't think it should make that much of a difference though...

Does any one know how often Intellij Idea goes on sale?
|
I've been looking around for a good IDE integrated UML tool and Intellij's looks perfect. However $200 for a UML tool seems a little excessive for something I'd be using for personal projects. So I'm wondering if it's worth waiting for a sale to buy it.
