Shortly after my wedding day my wonderful mother-in-law sat me down to say that my new name Barnes was to be spelled (in Christmas Cards) Love from the Barnes'. She went on to explain that her German mother-in-law had the same talk with her regarding Christmas Cards. So, in keeping with family tradition I have always said with love from the Barnes'   Now they are both on the other side and I am gaining a wonderful daughter-in-law and plan to keep the tradition going. But I am curious if it's grammatically incorrect.   Thoughts??
If I were to use the sentence "There are lots of John Smiths" in the world, would that be the correct use for saying that there are a lot of people named John Smith in the world?  I don't think there should be an apostrophe as that would imply ownership of something.  If my first example is correct, then what would you do if the name referenced already ended with an 's'?

[OS: Mojave] 8 AWG solid EGC in raceway for 100 amp subpanel I'm adding a 100 amp subpanel to my detached garage and have a question about the EGC I've already pulled through the underground LFNC-B raceway. Taking the advice from a similar post on this forum, I decided to use a 8 AWG bare solid copper conductor for my EGC in the underground raceway back to the main house. The other 3 conductors are 3 AWG THWN-2 stranded copper. I did double check the NEC tables to ensure these were appropriately sized for the underground feed portion of my run and ensured the conduit fill was less than 40%. What I failed to realize though (until after I won the good battle of pulling this set though the raceway) was that there is a section in the NEC that prohibits the use of solid conductors 8 AWG or larger in raceways: &quot;310.3 Stranded Conductors. Where installed in raceways, conductors of size 8 AWG and larger shall be stranded.&quot; Dangit! Now I'm questioning why I didn't just use insulated green THWN-2 - it would have made my pull much easier! Rookie mistake. So how bad have I goofed up here? Let's say the inspector fails to call this out. Is this a safety issue? What's the rationale for the rule anyways? To prevent numskulls like myself from trying to pull larger gauge solid wire through a raceway and possibly damaging the other conductors? Or is there more to it? Interestingly, there seem to be several exceptions in the NEC that do allow for using 8 AWG solid EGC in raceways (690.46 for Array Equipment Grounding Conductors for example). I'm just trying to get a feel for the severity of this goof-up and if it's worth fixing if not required by the inspector. Any feedback from the experts would be much appreciated! Apache on CentOS 5.9 VM serves modified files incorrectly How do I check if a file exists in Java? The app forgets that I voted when I scroll the question Related:   I am using 1.0.71 on KitKat.

However, when I scroll to read answers and then back to the top, the arrow is grey again and the vote count is reset to the previous value.  A reload of the question (pulling the finger down) is needed to show the correct situation, which is kept from then on.

Also... I've seen some tutorials that include editing a gradient but that would be very complicated and so would be to make a new stroke over this one, I just hope theres an easyer way XD  Edit per comment:  thats cool but not really what im looking for, what i want is lets say my stroke has the shape of a burger i want part of i to be bread color and part of it to be meat color... not one stroke over the other... i want something like this, imagine the jelly worm is my stroke: How do I add a new, valid tag when I don't have enough reputation?

Sharing alignment between equations in two different items In the following minimal example, I have two equations inside an itemize environment, with an item per equations. Each equation is defined in its own equation environment.    \documentclass{article} \usepackage{amstext}  \begin{document}  \begin{itemize}  \item Lorem ipsum dolor sit amet, consectetur adipiscing elit:   \begin{equation}     f(x) = \left\{     \begin{array}{l l}       1 &amp; \text{ nisl justo, hendrerit} \\       0 &amp; \text{ sagittis condimentum}\\     \end{array} \right.  \end{equation}   \item Duis magna nunc, ultrices at fringilla non, feugiat sed massa:   \begin{equation}     g(x) = \left\{     \begin{array}{l l}       -1 &amp; \text{ fermentum fringilla mauris eget} \\       0 &amp; \text{ gravida ipsum vitae}\\     \end{array} \right.  \end{equation} \end{itemize}  \end{document}   However, each equation has its own alignment, giving the following result:    It would be nice (I think) if both equations could be aligned in the same way, something like this:    Is this possible?   Note: it would be nice if the solution could be also applied to equations in different paragraphs.    UPDATE:   presented a very nice solution, which is currently the most upvoted, but it does not work quite well:  \documentclass{article} \usepackage{amsmath} \begin{document}  This is a list.  \begin{itemize}    \item First item.   \begin{align*}   f(x) &amp;= \begin{cases} 0 &amp; \text{now} \\ 1 &amp; \text{then} \end{cases}   \intertext{\item Second item.}   g(x) &amp;= \begin{cases} 0 &amp; \text{here and there}  \\ -1 &amp; \text{to and fro} \end{cases}   \end{align*}  \end{itemize}  After the list. \end{document}     Can you see? "now" and "then" are not aligned to "here and there" and "to and fro". Can we solve this? :) How do you empty the buffers and cache on a Linux system? doGet and doPost in Servlets find a $\int_{x}^{g(x)} f(t)\,dt = 1$ Can Git hook scripts be managed along with the repository? We'd like to make a few basic hook scripts that we can all share -- for things like pre-formatting commit messages.  Git has hook scripts for that that are normally stored under &lt;project&gt;/.git/hooks/.  However, those scripts are not propagated when people do a clone and they are not version controlled.    Is there a good way to help everyone get the right hook scripts?  Can I just make those hook scripts point to version controlled scripts in my repo? Combinatorics, choosing 3 elements from 100 In how many ways can we pick three different numbers out of the group $1,2,3,\dots,100$ such that the largest number is larger than the product of the two smaller ones?

SO had turned me into a better developer by far, I like to browse questions that strike my interest and curiosity and just read through the answers. I never fail to learn something new everyday, whether it's something trivial or something much more complex.  When I receive reputation it means a lot to me, almost a self achievement of sorts. Something I can show to someone to prove my "worth". I think it works for me as a great confidence booster, also its something I can show my friends who don't understand what I do.   It almost feels like I can finally have something to back me up if need to be.  So the question is what does YOUR reputation mean to YOU? Is it simply a number, is it a score as if you're playing a game, or does it help you mentally achieve your goals and improve yourself like it does for me. Derivation of Mode of grouped data A formula to calculate the mode for grouped data's is given in my text book: Mode = $l + \dfrac{(f_1 - f_0)h}{2f_1 - f_0 - f_2} $ Where, $l = $ lower limit of the modal class, $h = $ size of the class interval, $f_1 = $  frequency of the modal class, $f_0 = $ frequency of the class preceding the modal class, $f_2 =$ frequency of the class succeeding the modal class. Can you please explain the derivation of this formula, as it is not given in my T.B. Thanks .
