The Most Polarizing Book in the Ncvrs Collection

Criteria: books with high likes and high dislikes, with both numbers being roughly equivalent. It was not even close…Portnoy's Complaint by a country mile. Roth's breakout novel was hugely controverisal the moment it was published. Libraries banned it. Australia banned it. Diana Trilling and Irving Howe spoke out against it.Spoiler Alert: The sexually-frustrated, guilt-ridden Alexander Portnoy masturbates with a piece of liver that his mother later cooks and serves for dinner. Which was pretty shocking at the time. Which is pretty shocking now, even taking into account everything one can find on the danker corners of the internet (or at least that's what my friends tell me). Why is this book so polarizing almost 50 years after it was published? Well, Roth himself is a pretty polarizing figure. The "dysfunctional bro" protagonist that Roth single-handedly (huh huh) reinvented is not beloved by many women. People also generally dislike canon books from this era for all sorts of reasons. If you have not read it, I would say go forth and do so. If you do not want to, Richard Benjamin is pretty awesome (and dreamy) in the (not very good) movie

What sort of dust collection system would be adequate for a two-car garage?

I would also agree with the above answers in saying that the dust deputy is top notch. I ended up getting the entire kit to save myself some time in setup since I have a 1 year old that really cuts into my wood working.After buying my shop vac and dust deputy, I then needed to try and find adapters to fit my different machines. This can be a really annoying process since a lot of the time, the adapters will not fit over the dust ports. My solution to this problem was to start 3D printing them to the exact size I needed. Friends and family started wanting them and I decided to start a tiny side business to help people out.

The only place I have seen it is on eBay.Maybe you will luck up & get it cheaper than that.It is hard to get the hard to find rainforest stuff at a good price ecspecially on ebay.Most of it is priced twice as much as it is worth when you buy it from there. But maybe you will luck up & get it cheaper..Or you could try emailing the seller & just asking them where they bought it at..That might work.Good luck

I want to start a World War II collection, any suggestions on how to start?

I would say pick one country. I myself picked the us. I picked that because living in the us it is much easier to get us items. Us items are much cheaper compared to other countries. Germans items are very expensive to collect. Also they are hard to find in the us. Us items are easy to find. I get my items from estate sales very cheap. I find that us items are very interesting things. It all depends on how much you want to spend and what you are interested in . I hope I helped.

Show that a collection of functions $I$ is an ideal

It's trival that it's an ideal, and it's not a prime one as $f : x/mapsto (3x-1)(2x-1)$ is in it, but $g : x/mapsto 2x-1$ and $h : x/mapsto 3x-1$ are not in it. So you have a product $f = gh$ in the ideal, with $g$ and $h$ not in it, violating the fact that the ideal could be prime.Remark. To show that $I$ is an ideal of $A$, with $A$ let's say commuatative, which is the case here, you have to show that $f_1f_2/in I$ as soon as $f_1,f_2/in I$, and that $f_1 f_2 /in I$ as soon $f_1/in A$ and $f_2 /in I$.

How can I show announcements from a different site collection?

If you want a simple, no code solution, you could always open Sharepoint Designer. It's not the most elegant solution, but it's simple enough for a power user to do (if they have Designer permissions) and one less customization to keep track of. Also, I have not tried this yet, but it may work for even different farms if you have cross farm permissions and trusts set up properly.

Need help decorating with photographs? I have a family collection of old photo's dating back to the 1800's?

Yes. I love old photos. I am saving my photos onto disks now I've finally got a digital camera and I've worked out how to do it. But I love looking back at relatives who are no longer with us or the way things were at a particular time. It's good because I can show my children things from my childhood like record players and the fact that videos did not exist etc. It's hard for them to believe such things

as you said, it is authentication configuration issue. Looks like in one farm you have classic authentication configured and other farm you have claims based authentication.You cannot change the authentication on site level as it is Web application level configuration.

How to properly structure a collection of immutable constants

Even though the question is a little bit fuzzy, I can try to propose a solution.As already mentioned by Neil, tree-like data structure can be useful here. I guess, if changing values is not needed (those are constants?), then it's just a matter of not exposing them to the end user. The lightweight solution could be binary serialization of hashes (objects, dictionaries, associative arrays - terminology depends on your language/framework/platform). If you need to keep them apart from the program, there are simple and efficient key-value storages (like Berkeley DB). It's possible to use SQL-based approach even with sqlite - if I am not mistaken, even Firefox browser uses one under the hood: No database server needed. With sqlite, even full text search is possible. Sqlite works well even with in-memory backend, in case this is what is needed.What is even better, user preferences can be also stored in the sqlite, in a different file. Nowhere there is a mention that those constants need to be shared over the network, but even then serialization approach can be used

I am currently getting several calls a day from a debt collection service about a debt not owed by me. Help?

You are Absolutely RIGHT! Debt Collectors are NOT allowed to harass anyone! AND if you were paying 10 dollars a month, then they are also NOT allowed to even Call you! You could have paid them ONE dollar a month in Penny's and they would have to take it! The Laws have changed for the better in recent years. Years ago, I was late on a payment for my microwave, the came everyday with THEM screaming at me about the damn payment, then said he was gonna come to my home and GET the microwave....I said, please do, my two Pit Bulls will answer the door. He never came.

How could a imperial dynasty keep a loose collection of pirates, raiders, etc unified?

Might makes rightLike all empires do. The leaders have power over others, be it firepower, numerical superiority, wealth, information, influence, resources, a super weapon or pure charisma.Perhaps the leaders have control of the only starship building facilities. Maybe the only fuel refinery capable of producing starship fuel. A vast network of spies so the factions are played off against each other leaving the leaders as the strongest. Perhaps the offspring of the different faction leaders are expected to serve the king before they can inherit their house. The factions send them to act as spies and the king accepts them so they double as hostages. Whatever the reason, the leaders have power over the others. The others might do things on the sly to try and shift power their way but know they cannot challenge the leader directly and win
