|Sticky Tag:
Versioning changes post release
Changes for 0.2.1alpha release
Removed HEADER and INCLUDE functions, because they were not working properly. mod_clhp generates a simple header. In the future, CLHP will have to get control of this again, for doing things like setting cookies and redirections.
post release version updates
Final commit for 0.2.0alpha release
REQUIRE function, loads lisp files in the current clhp document-root
* (Module): Moved COND-BIND, IF-BIND, A-LIST-VALUE, CA-LIST-TO-A-LIST, MAKE-KEYWORD, and LIST-TO-A-LIST out of cgi.lisp in here. * clhp.asd, package.lisp, clhp.lisp, cgi.lisp: Converted all this to an ASDF system, it's not quite battle tested, but hey, that's what this is all about.
Converted all this to an ASDF system, it's not quite battle tested, but hey, that's what this is all about.
Trying to get a nice little feature where the makefile creates a CVS version ID similar to how it's done in clhp.lisp
* tests/clhp-test.lisp (*CLHP-TESTS*): Wrote tests for most of :CLHP * clhp.lisp (FIND-PI-START, FIND-PI-END): Made 0 a default value for START.
0.1.1 release
Fixed type with my name in copyright headers
(cond-bind): Addedd COND-BIND, basically it's a COND wrapped up inside a LET. Imported into clhp, and used there as well. (IF-BIND): This is similar to COND-BIND, the whole aim here is to reduce parentheses and make it all a little more readable
* cgi.lisp, clhp.lisp (LIST-TO-A-LIST): Moved LIST-TO-A-LIST from clhp.lisp into cgi.lisp, because I need it there as part of the rewrite for QUERY-TO-A-LIST. Sooner or later I'll have to merge all this into a single package so things like this do not have to happen. * cgi.lisp (QUERY-TO-A-LIST): Rewrote this mostly to simplify it, and make it prettier (*SERVER-ENV*,*QUERY-VARS*) : Converted them to list type a-lists ((A B)(C D)) from the Cons type they had been ((A . B) (C . D)). This is quite temporary, since I plan on making them hashes soon. I basically did this because the TAG mechanism needs List type a-lists, and I wanted to reuese list-to-a-list in cgi.lisp. So as part of the rewrite to QUERY-TO-A-LIST, this ended up as a result.
Finally got defpackage to work properly.
Enhanced error handling facility, now errors are reported and processing continues.
clhp.lisp: Created XML-ELEMENT structure and exported all it's associated symbols. This struct includes a pritty printer PPRINT-XML-ELEMENT, which outputs the structure as an xml tag. I also wrote TAG, which is a convenience function that makes xml-element creation a breeze. examples/index.clhp: Placed some examples of using TAG function. This includes the PRINT-A-LIST-TABLE macro, which is used to create tables from (CONS . TYPE) a-lists. Also added some comments.
Simply re adjusted the numbers to reflect a CVS versioning rather than 0.1.0. If I don't do this now, I'll probably forget to do it later, and I really don't want anyone getting CVS sources that say they have 0.1.0 instead of the date based cvs versioning scheme in clhp.lisp.
Ready for 0.1.0alpha release
Finished writing the initial documentation, I'm ready for a release, but I don't think I'll have time until next week. The release is pretty much a very alpha one anyhow, but it will be enough that it is useable. Anyway, everything in INSTALL should work the way it is now. Of course as it spreads out to different distros there may be some problems. And some people may want to use wrapper scripts rather than binfmt_misc. Of course once I right an Apache module, none of this will make a difference.
Wrote a nice little reader macro to make cvs versioning automatic, the $Date$ keyword is parsed to make a 8 digit number YYYYMMDD with the suffix "cvs" addedd, so a CVS release with a $Date$ of 2003/09/15 ends up with a *CLHP-VERSION* of "20030915cvs"
Gonna try a special transformation of the $Date$ keyword to set the version automatically during compilation

Solar radiation levels in the Southwest are some of the best in the world, and the BLM manages more than 19 million acres of public lands with excellent solar energy potential in 6 states: California, Nevada, Arizona, New Mexico, Colorado and Utah. State renewable energy portfolios, investment tax credits for solar energy projects, volatile oil prices, and international concern about global warming have all contributed toward public and industry interest in utility-scale solar energy development. Solar energy projects can provide significant amounts of electricity while emitting virtually no greenhouse gases, but they require large areas of relatively flat land, and some technologies use substantial amounts of water—a scarce commodity in the arid climates where the solar resources are the best.
News Releases:

Amazon is spending how much to fight a California sales tax?!?!
Over the weekend, the New York Times ran a story about Amazon's brisk spending on a 2012 referendum that would ask voters whether the state should be able to require the online retailer to collect sales tax. We're talking $5.25 million -- and as the NYT reports, we're more than nine months away from the actual vote.
The argument on the pro-tax side is that enforcing collection will bring in $200 million in revenue California "has already counted toward balancing the state budget." Obviously, down the road there's quite a bit more moolah at stake than that.
On the Amazon side, the argument has been framed in terms of jobs, but it's really about cash: Amazon figures it will do pretty well in California if it can sell people all manner of stuff for less than they can buy it from outfits that force them to pay the tax. Just for the record, the taxing part would occur at online checkout. Heretofore, it's been the responsibility of Amazon's California customers to pay the sales tax themselves -- and as you can imagine, that's a difficult responsibility for the state to enforce.

The Clean Water Protection Act overturns a 2002 rule change by the U.S. Army Corps of Engineers and the U.S. Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) that allows coal mining companies to create enormous valley fills, burying thousands of miles of streams, to make the practice of mountaintop removal mining cheaper. That rule change also allows other industries to dump waste in waters under the guise of renaming the waste material as "fill."
Already, more than 60 other members of the U.S. House of Representatives have co-sponsored the bill.
"I'm proud to have reintroduced this bill, which protects streams and watersheds and addresses a serious environmental justice concern," Representative Frank Pallone said. "The federal government should protect the environment and the people living around mountaintop mining operations, not give massive mining companies a free pass to dump fill into waterways."
"It is my hope this legislation signals to the EPA that Congress will not sit silently by as our environment is destroyed," says Representative Chris Shays. "We cannot afford to waste another day, another hour, another minute if we want our children and our children's children to enjoy clean water. We simply won't have a world to live in if we continue our neglectful ways."
More than 1,200 miles of streams already have been destroyed in Appalachia by the coal companies that have been flouting the Clean Water Act for years while the EPA and the Corps looked the other way. When citizens took state and federal agencies to court to ensure our environmental laws are enforced, coal companies sought -- and were granted -- a legal loophole from the Bush administration. In May 2002, the Army Corps of Engineers repealed the 25-year-old ban under their regulations against allowing waste to be treated as "fill" material that is allowed to be placed in waters.
"Nothing is more inconsistent with the goal of the Clean Water Act -- which is intended to protect and preserve the health of our nation's waters -- than allowing mining companies and other industries to bury streams, rivers, lakes, and wetlands under enormous piles of waste and debris. Yet, that is exactly what the Bush administration has allowed," said Joan Mulhern, Senior Legislative Counsel for Earthjustice. "The Clean Water Protection Act would reverse this travesty and restore sense to our clean water laws. We commend Congressman Pallone and Congressman Shays for their strong defense of clean water, our most precious natural resource."
"Burying Appalachia's streams in mining waste is one of the most egregious forms of environmental destruction taking place in America," said Ed Hopkins, Sierra Club's Director of Environment Quality Program. "It is threatening communities, damaging drinking water supplies, causing flooding and ruining habitat for fish and wildlife. Congress should put a stop to it now."
"Mountaintop removal buries streams, devastates communities and serves as a reminder that there is no such thing as 'clean coal,'" said Sara Zdeb, Legislative Director at Friends of the Earth. "It is critical that Congress enact this much-needed legislation, particularly as it considers proposals that could expand coal production under the guise of combating global warming."
The Clean Water Protection Act is supported by a large coalition of organizations that includes national groups such as Earthjustice, Friends of the Earth, and Sierra Club, and regional leaders to stop mountaintop removal coal mining, such as the Ohio Valley Environmental Coalition (OVEC).

Holding a 54-46 lead with 3:27 left on the game clock, Sparks head coach Dan Schreiber yelled out to his team "Three minutes, just three more minutes!" That proved to be just enough time for Reed, as the Railroaders did not manage another basket and the Raiders stormed back from 17 points down for a 61-54 victory. Reed scored the final 15 points of the game in just over two minutes to steal the win.
"We just had to buckle down and compete" Reed coach Dustin Hall said of his team's comeback effort. "Obviously you can't get it back in one or two possessions, so you have to keep working and just crawl back into it. They played hard in the first half, but they started playing harder in the second half. There wasn't much discipline in the first half but there was more in the second half and obviously that got the momentum on our side.
"We got some turnovers and got some jumpers to go down, and it kind of just rolled from there. It just showed that our kids have some toughness and resolve to keep fighting."
While the Raiders celebrated the victory, Schreiber knew his team let one slip away.
"We kind of let them back in the game. We came out of our offense and started doing a little more one-on-one showcasing," Schreiber said. "We're pretty disciplined to stay in a set offense and that was what we did the first quarter. The second quarter we started to migrate away from that and the third and fourth quarters even further. We need to duplicate the first quarter and parts of the second and put a complete game together. It's still early December, so it's a nice bright spot to focus on.
"We're still a young group and we graduated a lot of kids last year. These kids are really starting to band together, so it's nice to see that we're competing with a good 4A school. I think come February, we're going to be a tough team to beat."
To start the game, everything seemed to be falling in favor of the Railroaders. While basket after basket went down for Sparks, Reed could not buy a bucket, allowing SHS to jump out to an 18-4 lead after one quarter of play.
A 3-point basket by senior Adam Morgan pushed the Railroaders' advantage to 21-4, but Reed then rattled off a 12-3 spurt that brought the score to 24-16 at the 2:20 mark of the second quarter. At halftime, the Maroon and Gold held a 31-20 edge.
"We were just struggling," Hall said of the Raiders' lackluster first half. "We weren't seeing the ball go in. We missed a lot of shots around the rim and I think we just started to kind of tighten up. We just didn't have any flow. We weren't getting any stops, and with us we have to get stops first and let that become our offense."
In the second half, the Raiders erased the deficit as fast as Sparks had built its lead.
Out of the intermission, Reed strung together 10 unanswered points, capped by a steal and score by junior Trae Wells along with a foul, to trim the Railroaders' advantage to 31-30. The Raiders then took their first lead of the game at the 4:49 mark of the third quarter as Wells dropped in a floater from the paint for a 34-33 edge. The squads then traded baskets as Sparks regained the lead at 41-40 at the end of the third before extending its lead to 54-46, setting up the Raiders' comeback.
Wells finished with a game-high 23 points to lead the winning Reed effort. Keiffer Putman and Isaiah Campbell led Sparks in scoring, tallying 12 and 11 points, respectively.
The two teams will return to tournament action Friday as the Railroaders take on Damonte Ranch at 4:30 p.m. and Reed faces Carson at 7:30 p.m.

Leigh I. Saufley Chief Justice of the Maine Supreme Judicial Court, left, and Gov. Paul LePage enter the House before he delivers his the State of the State address on Tuesday, Feb. 5, 2013 at the State House in Augusta. LePage is shaking hands with Rep. Craig V. Hickman, D-Winthrop.
By Michael Shepherd
State House Bureau
AUGUSTA — Maine heard from a kinder, gentler Gov. Paul LePage in his State of the State address Tuesday night.
Picking battles on his most common fronts -- notably public education -- and highlighting Republican-led reforms from the last Legislature, LePage struck an overall conciliatory tone, which Democratic leaders called encouraging.
"Maine families need help, and they are fed up with the partisan political rhetoric," he said. "They are asking for a lower cost of living and opportunities for the bigger paychecks. That's all Maine people are asking for. They'll do the hard work."
Still, LePage stuck up for his proposed budget for the next two fiscal years. Its most contentious element, cutting revenue sharing to municipalities for a more-than-$200 million hit over the two years, is seen by many as a political non-starter, even among Republicans.
"I do not take pride in this budget," LePage said in his address. "In fact, I do not like it at all."
But he pitched it as the best of many evils, saying he could suggest cutting welfare or schools, or raising taxes, which he asked the Legislature not to do.
After the speech, Democratic leaders called that an example of "rhetoric versus reality."
Assistant House Majority Leader Troy Jackson, D-Allagash, suggested that municipalities would have to make up for the loss of revenue sharing by increasing property taxes.
LePage spoke off-script for most of his speech, which lasted just over an hour, before a joint session of the Legislature in the House chamber.
He spoke of the need for job creation and "bold action" to increase investment in Maine.
He also introduced a smattering of policy initiatives, including saying he would fast-track development of natural gas, which he pitched as a far cheaper alternative to fossil fuel, because "we're killing ourselves with higher energy costs."
He also said that, in days, the state will unveil a website showing how "precious tax dollars are spent."
The most notable new proposal, perhaps, was for education. He said he's directing Education Commissioner Stephen Bowen to set up an A-to-F grading system for Maine's public schools, because they aren't doing what they must to help children.
He also continued his pitch for expanding the state's charter school system.
"If you believe the status quo is working, you are part of the problem," LePage said. "You are not part of the solution."
David Connerty-Marin, a spokesman for the Department of Education, said the grading system won't come with any penalties or incentives. It will incorporate performance and growth, and for high schools it will include graduation rates and won't be based on single test scores, he said.
"This is really just about reporting for transparency's sake," he said. "At the moment, it's just a broad set of parameters and it hasn't been finalized."
Senate President Justin Alfond, D-Portland, said he needs more details on the grading system proposal to comment, but Jackson feared negative effects on rural schools.
"I'm very concerned about this ranking, how it's going to work and what it's going to do to the underserved children," he said. "Are they going to be asked to leave the school so they can get their ranking up? I feel all kids deserve an education, even the ones that don't perform as well."
LePage referred to his past as a homeless youth in Lewiston, saying education saved his life.
"I cannot accept children falling through the cracks and no one doing anything about it," he said, drawing applause from Democrats and Republicans.
He challenged the Maine Education Association, the teachers union, to set aside a portion of union dues to put "into the classroom," which he said he would match with a portion of money.
He said Maine has the highest per-pupil administrative costs in the nation.
U.S. Census data doesn't quite support that claim. In 2009-10, it says, Maine was behind Vermont and the District of Columbia, spending $1,220 per student.
LePage also urged legislators to support his plan to borrow money to pay the state's $186 million debt to Maine's hospitals. The borrowing would be repaid with money from a renegotiated wholesale liquor contract.
LePage called it "embarrassing to work for a state government that doesn't pay its bills."
In a news conference, Democrats said they are committed to paying hospitals, but liquor money should be looked at in the context of the entire budget.
Despite many quibbles on policy, both sides praised the governor's tone in his speech.
"I think the governor struck the right tone of passionate advocacy for Maine children and families," House Minority Leader Kenneth Fredette, R-Newport, said in a prepared statement. "Our policies must, above all else, ensure that Mainers have bigger paychecks, lower bills, and our children have a brighter future right here in the state that we love."
The governor, wearing a blue tie, gave Alfond a one-armed hug near the House rostrum just before the speech. They have had a publicly chilly relationship so far this session.
After the speech, Alfond, fresh off a long-awaited meeting Monday between LePage and Democratic leaders, said he thinks bad blood may have subsided.
"In 24 hours, it's 'Kumbaya,' " Alfond joked. "Now it's time for us to do the important work that's ahead of us."

The premise: You own a fork-mount rack, but your bike has a 15 or 20mm axle. Maybe you've already bought a $40 ForkUp, which gets the job done but still leaves your precious rig unlocked on top of your car.
The solution: The new Rocky Mounts DriveShaft lets you hold onto your fork-mount rack and still get fully lock-able capability with bikes that use 15 or 20mm thru axles. Doesn't matter if your fork-mount rack is Thule, Yakima or a Rocky Mounts — as long as it locks, it applies here. And if it is a Rocky Mounts, you can get the lock keyed to match your existing system. Brilliant. As is this video.

Alabama Power spokeswoman Alyson Tucker said that her company received the first call about the outage at around 5:35 p.m. Power had been knocked out along Alabama 21 near the Honeywell Aerospace facility, she said.
"We have some wire down near Honeywell and the airport," Tucker said. "We've got our crews and lineman out there now looking at the situation."
The cause of the outage was not known, Tucker said, but the workers were trying to isolate the outage and get customers back online as quickly as possible.

I would not even consider...... – This in my opinion is not a business that is run very effectively. My sales person had no clue as to what she was selling and she felt that all she had to do was have a blank look on her face and smile and I would pay the ridiculous price they were asking. The brand that they sell is subpar at best. Then management got involved and they had no clue as to what was being proposed as well. It was like they thought that I could not read and they could say whatever they wanted to and lie to me and I would believe them. I would suggest if you have a business and need copiers stay away from these people.
Weak service response also – All products grossly overrated and overpriced. No wonder salespeople show up driving Corvettes and brag of their castle-like homes in prestigious neighborhoods. Service people need to shower more often than Saturdays. Equipment is cheaply constructed.
Too Expensive! – I got a new copier in the office and was looking around at different companies to service the machine. We are a big law firm and would probably put 50,000 clicks on the machine a month. These people were the highest! I just laughed at them and didn't call them back. Get several quotes and see where they fall and let me know if you can justify the additional expense.

Bet On It: Week 12 Predictions
Story Highlights
Tom Brady will have a big day vs. the Jets without Rob Gronkowski
Calvin will best Andre in the battle of the Johnson's in Detroit
Robert Griffin III will move the ball on the ground against the Cowboys
Last Week: 3-7; Season Record: 39-61 (38 percent)
Last week I forgot to take into account the blowout factor. Players like Robert Griffin III and C.J. Spiller we're well on their way to hitting my lofty targets before disappearing in the fourth quarter. Why aren't more teams like the Patriots and play all 60 minutes? We're going big and bold this week, relying on the best players in the NFL to help boost the record before the stretch run.
1. Patriots quarterback Tom Brady throws for over 325 yards against the Jets
When you're struggling, like I am, you turn to someone like Brady, the ultimate stopper. Forget the Rob Gronkowski injury. Aaron Hernandez will be back and wide receiver Brandon Lloyd is due for a breakout game. The Pats will actually miss Gronk's blocking in the run game and will go the air more often without their start tight end.
2. The Jets throw at least 30 passes against the Patriots
Sanchez has thrown over 30 times in a game three times this season, including 41 attempts against New England in a 29-26 overtime loss. The Jets quarterback is coming off a solid game against the Rams and will be confident he can attack the Patriots' secondary. They're going to need to be aggressive if my first prediction turns out to be true.
3. Lions receiver Calvin Johnson wins the yardage battle over Texans receiver Andre Johnson
Texans receiver Andre Johnson is the hottest receiver in the NFL, but Calvin's not far behind. On Thursday, the Texans are not going to rely on their star receiver nearly as much as they did against the Jaguars on Sunday, when he set the franchise record with 273 yards. They have too many weapons on offense to target Andre 19 times like they did against Jacksonville. Meanwhile, the Texans' 37-34 over the Jags revealed their secondary is almost as bad as Detroit's. The Lions have nothing to lose now and are going to lean on Calvin even against double coverage.
4. Saints quarterback Drew Brees throws for more yards than any other opposing QB has this year against San Francisco
So far, Packers QB Aaron Rodgers has the highest passing yardage total against the Niners, 303, back in Week 1. The revenge factor will fuel the Saints after last season's heartbreaking playoff loss. San Francisco's D is riding high after its demolition of the Bears, but they'll face a tougher offensive line and a motivated Drew Brees.
5. Giants quarterback Eli Manning has at least two touchdowns against the Packers
The Giants have had a bye week to regroup and they're facing a banged up Packers defense that has issues in the red zone. Manning hasn't thrown a touchdown since Week 7 against Washington and hasn't had a multi-TD game since Week 5 against Cleveland. But with rumors flying Eli has a "dead arm," multiple reports say he looks good in practice this week. And Manning typically steps up to answer critics when he has down stretches. Eli burned me on this same prediction the last time the Giants played, so he better not screw it up again or I'm taking him off my "elite" list.
6. Miami holds Seattle to less than 21 points
The Dolphins' defense is a bit underrated and hasn't been the main reason Miami is sliding. They kept the Bills' offense out of the end zone last week. The Seahawks, who are only 1-4 on the road, will try to hammer the Fins' defense with running back Marshawn Lynch, but Miami ranks ninth against the run and should be able to hold up.
7. Falcons quarterback Matt Ryan throws for at least 350 yards against the Buccaneers
The Falcons aren't running consistently and will try to take advantage of the NFL's worst pass defense. The Bucs don't seem that concerned about giving up so many yards in the air because their offense has been so effective during their four-game win streak. Expect another wild game for the Bucs with MVP candidate Ryan doing whatever he wants against an undermanned secondary.
8. Redskins quarterback Robert Griffin III runs for at least 50 yards against the Cowboys
Even after the game was out of hand, RGIII wasn't afraid to take off against the Eagles last week. In a must-win situation, Griffin won't hold back against the Cowboys and he'll cause fits for the Dallas defense.
9. Jaguars rookie wide receiver Justin Blackmon has less than 80 yards receiving
After his 236-yard receiving game last Sunday, the Jacksonville rookie will come back to Earth in a hurry. He certainly will have more confidence, but it's hard to imagine quarterback Chad Henne can get that hot two weeks in a row with this offense.
10. Chicago's defense forces at least two turnovers against the Vikings
The Bears' D was embarrassed last Monday night against the NIners, and will be eager to show they're still one of the best in the League. The Bears lead the League with 30 takeaways and will try to punch the ball away from Minnesota's playmakers.
Ryan Getzlaf leads Ducks past Stars 3-2 in Game 2
Pavel Datsyuk's late goal leads Red Wings to Game 1 win over Bruins

Scared to show her face--an 18-year-old college student is lashing out at the man charged with using Facebook to steal more than $1,000 from her bank account.
"Really mean to try and take advantage of people like that especially in front of the holidays."
Darby Borough Police say in early December--Malik McDowell contacted the teen on the popular social media website.
Posing as a TD Bank employee named "Rob, " authorities say he promised to give her $800 for a money transfer promotion.
The catch--the teen had to meet the 29-year-old man at a Darby convenience store and hand over her debit card and pin number.
"If someone approaches you with something that's too good to be true, it is too good. Nobody in this world today is giving away $800 free."
The college student learned that lesson the hard way.
After getting her card back from McDowell the next day she checked her account.
"When I checked my account it was like negative $1000 some dollars, " exclaimed the victim. "I really wasn't thinking it was a scam. I was just thinking about the holidays coming up and I had a bill for my tuition."
That college tuition paid off when the teen decided to teach the suspected cyber crook a lesson.
She set up a new Facebook page to lure McDowell.
Authorities say he took the bait and scheduled a meeting at the 7-11 on Main St.
This time posing as "Kev."
But instead of meeting an easy mark—he was met by Darby Police and handcuffs.
"He just made it real easy writing me again on Facebook. He was being real greedy and he got caught."
"She really should be a detective," smiled Chief Smythe. "She should go to the police academy and we would definitely hire her."
McDowell is now behind bars on $50,000 bail.
Police say he had three other debit cards and checks that didn't belong to him.
They believe McDowell may be part of a larger crime ring that's targeted others in the Philadelphia area.
If you or anyone you know has been a victim call Darby Borough Police at (610) 586-1100.
Police in Camden County are asking drivers to be alert after two carjackings since this weekend along one city street.

I built this over the coarse of 6 months, It is done and I am very happy with it. I wanted to put this build thread up in here just in case any one needed any of the info here. I will be adding info to help with sourcing of parts and have a ton of reference pics if there is a place on the site for them.
I have made some progress on my wife's helmet and thought I'd see what you think so far. If you see anything I need to address, please let me know.
After getting the kit, I did the basics:
Opened the visor slots.
removed the mold lines/seam. It didn't need much, the helmet is fantastic.
shaped it up a bit to my liking,. I rounded the corners of the top visor just a bit.
sanded it all down.
hit it with primer. I used dark gray in the areas that would be charcoal and brown everywhere else.
And using small files I added all the cuts, scuffs, and abrasions.
Next came the Metal under coat:
On to paint.
I laid the Brown down this morning. But before doing so, I used tooth paste to mark any areas that I wanted my metal under coat to show though. After I as happy with it, I shot the brown. After the paint sat for a few, I washed off the areas were the tooth paste were and this is the end result.
Thermal Det has arrived as well.
Here are the paints that I chose, if anyone is interested.
dark grey primer - 2089
rusty metal primer - 7769
metallic charcoal - 244228
aluminum - 7715
satin dark brown - 241239
Model Master Acryl:
Dark Grey - 4754
Flat Black - 4768
I will also use a black oil paint to do the final rub to weather it all, but that is later.

Added a little weathering to make sure that the over all look is going to work before I start the leather work. The parts are all dry fit at this point. Back and left side stenciling details are done, just the right side to go.
Here is the final weathering. This is done. It is still to dark? Will I need to add Another layer of lighter brown in areas? What do you think? Oh yeah, I also need to stencil on the "1138" on the right side.
Thanks for the advice.

I think the helmet is complete.
The leather work was fun.
I will weather the leather once the soft parts are done, so they all match.
Any suggestions on the best way to weather the leather on the snout?
It is weird, how the flash changes the look of it. It actually looks better in person, I believe.

Well, I finally had a little time to get back on this for Michele. I've gotten all the hard parts done and ready to go at this point except the armor itself. The armor will need to be sized after the soft parts are done. Once the blue dries, I plan to sand it to tone it down a bit.
I bought the tan pair. After you weather them a little. Look great, and comfortable.

Here is a video of the light kit:
Here is his website:
He was super to work with. I got the kit in a week.
First attempt at the soft parts:
This is starting to get good. Denise sent me a sneak peak of the soft parts. They are looking outstanding!
Revised and final version of the soft parts:
Denise made some changes. I like the neck color better. Pants, still not sure. What do you guys think? She said the new pants are more accurate to what others have made. I
trust her on this, I am just looking for opinions.

I got all her soft parts in last week, but have been busy with a kitchen remodel, so it had to come first. The soft parts are amazing. I hope to get back on this costume and have it done next week. We are so close.
I added some vents in the snout, because Michele was feeling claustrophobic in the helmet. I drilled out the little squares and then took a small square file to each opening. All the little ridges are still there. I backed it with screen. I cut out the recessed area of the helmet,behind the snout part, as well. I will add a fan as soon as I get one.
From the inside:
We made some more progress on the costume today as well. Just needed some tweaking to fit her frame, Got the spikes on the gauntlets, got the discs on the boot covers, sized the cummerbund down a little, and made the leather belt. I could take the cummerbund in another couple inches, but it will make her chest more prominent and I am already having issues getting the armor to fit her in the chest and shoulders, so we will see how that plays out.
I did find an interesting part fro the leather belt that I haven't seen before. It appears that there are 2 boxes attacked to it. One on each hip. It looks to me like the one on her left hip is the same piece as the comlink in the center of the chest armor.
Thoughts? Anyone have any better pictures?

There are definitely canisters attached to her webbing bandolier on both sides, But I am talking about the boxes, greebles attacked to the leather belt on both sides as well. As soon as the HD version of the movie comes out, it will clear a lot of mysteries up.
My next task is the canisters on the bandolier. I got one in the kit I bought, but I don't like it. I grabbed a few screen shots with my camera, off the TV. She has one canister on each hip. They look like metal film canisters. (Thanks, Jason.) I need a metal canister in the 3" to 4" size range, with a screw on lid. I had no luck on Ebay. If anyone has any suggestions, I would be happy to hear them.

I ordered 2 sets of these:
off of Ebay. I plan to use the 2 - 3.5" x 2.5" canisters from the sets. It is a tinny bit larger than the plastic container that came with the Bandolier kit. I will weather them of coarse.
The Shoulder armor was a pain the the booty, but I think I have it. Had to cut it up, heat it up, shape it, and put it back together. Carrie's chest wasn't as large as my wife's I am thinking. ( Not that I am complaining.) ;D All I have left to do is prime and paint it up. FUN, FUN, FUN.
I also added more venting to the helmet. I cut rectangles out behind the ear pieces. You can't see them, but they are nice and large.

All done but the tweaks, a few odds and ends, and the weathering.
Done. Other than a little more weathering.

This is copied over from Boushhbuilders, [url="http://thebbg.proboards.com"]http://thebbg.proboards.com[/url], I will need to go through it and clean it up, but it is a start.
Next on my list is to build the staff/pole weapon/thing.
Thanks, I have weathered the cape and bandolier a bit more and repainted the bandolier parts a bit. I still need to weather the pants a bit more.

Here is what the inside looks like.
I had to build the staff in a week, for an event, so didn't take build pics, but I modeled it off of the side show 12" and the screen grabs I have. It is really close. I will know better once the Blu-ray comes out. Here is one of the screen grabs, you can see that there is a canister on the side of it that the side show fig. doesn't have.
I feel like the top part is a little big, overall, in circumference and needs to be scaled down just a little, but for a rush, it came out nice. I plan to rebuild it and cast it once the Blu-ray comes out and I can get a better look at it.
Here is what I built and it in action this past weekend.

Cheryl Wixson is a businesswoman on a mission.
Cheryl Wixson works in the kitchen of her Bangor home to produce hand-crafted prepared foods, such as pasta sauce, applesauce, ketchup, relish, jam, etc., in small batches using all Maine ingredients.

WHAT: Offers a winter CSA of canned Maine-grown foods, including pasta sauces, condiments, pickles, jams and applesauces
COST: $300 six-month subscription; $250 five-month subscription in Portland; $325 mail-order subscription in Maine
HOW TO SUBSCRIBE: Visit cherylwixsonskitchen.com and click on Where to Buy>Purchase a Share, or call 947-0892.
After just one year, Wixson has a growing company that offers a unique way for Mainers to eat locally-grown food in the winter.
"My goal is to help the farmer get the best price and help the customer eat local all year," said Wixson, who founded the prepared food company Cheryl Wixson's Kitchen with her husband, Phil, last year. "I want to help Maine farmers and feed Maine people. I call this an economic development strategy for the state."
The company, with a test kitchen in Bangor and production facilities at Coastal Farms Food Processing in Belfast, buys vegetables and fruits from farmers, cans them and sells the resulting products to subscribers in the winter months. Many of the products feature organically-grown produce. A recent addition to the product line includes cake and bread mixes using Maine-milled flours.
"The products are very versatile," said Patricia Bixel of Bangor, who began subscribing last year. "They can be used with a lot of different main courses. It's very easy for them to be vegetarian or be applied to meat or fish. And just in case you can't figure it out, she always gives you recipes each month."
EVERY MONTH during the winter, subscribers pick up a box filled with nine products.
Customers can elect to go with that month's standard selection, or they can swap five of the products for other offerings. All subscribers receive four limited edition products being test-marketed that month.
In December, the limited edition products are cranberry chutney, chili dill spears, Maine orchard juice and black bean salsa. In addition, subscribers can opt to receive the Genovese basil pasta and pizza sauce, puttanesca pasta and pizza sauce, Jack's organic ketchup, strawberry rhubarb jam and Liberty applesauce, or substitute other products instead.
So far, Emily's taco salsa has proven to be the most popular offering, with organic Maine cranberry ketchup a close second.
The company's current line-up includes 32 products, and some of them are also sold at local markets and health food stores. All the products are vegan, and many of them are gluten-free.
"It is things that I would have bought in jars anyways," said Nichi Farnham of Bangor, who started subscribing last year. "It's like Christmas every time you get an email that a box is ready. I can't wait to see what's in the boxes."
A six-month subscription costs $300, a five-month subscription in Portland (which is a newly added drop-off spot) costs $250, and a mail order subscription in Maine costs $325.
Using the same CSA model employed by small farmers gives Cheryl Wixson's Kitchen the cash to buy from farmers during the growing season.
Last year, the company sold shares to 48 subscribers. This year, that number jumped to 69, with 30 shares reserved for the newly added drop-off spot at Rosemont Market's store on Brighton Avenue in Portland.
Wixson hopes to increase her customer base to 200 next year, which she feels is the maximum number the company can handle and retain its hands-on touch.
"We don't want to have a factory," Wixson said. "We don't want to sell to Boston or New York."
Even though larger metropolitan markets would be more lucrative, the company remains focused on helping local people eat food grown in Maine.
Chris Hallweaver, who is the general manager of the Northern Girl root vegetable processing company in Aroostook County, anticipates the creation of more Maine food processing businesses in the coming years to meet the growing demand for local food. He said the key to their success will be finding niches to fill.

Insights from our Editorial Team
Jeremy Champlin, program manager with Entergy Arkansas, discusses the risks inherent to all energy efficiency programs and how you can overcome those risks, just as Entergy Arkansas did. (This is part one of a two-part series by Champlin.)
In this overview of Intelligent Utility magazine's July/August print issue, we illustrate our favorite trend—namely, we talk to a whole lot of utilities: Avista, Reliant, SDG&E, Tacoma Public Utilities, France's GDF Suez, Brazil's AES Brazil, SnoPUD, National Grid, Entergy, American Water, DC Water, Duke and AEP.
In this fourth installment in an article series leading up to Utility Analytics Week in Atlanta Sept. 23-25, we asked members of the Utility Analytics Institute one question: How will analytics help utilities establish a holistic view of the customer experience?
Luciano Villani and Vic Faster with Con Edison detail how the utility is creating flood-proof substations in the wake of Sandy's extensive damage.Comments: 1
Liz Forrest with Newton-Evans Research Company examines how utilities are preparing for cybersecurity issues now that the threat is all too real.
Caroline Winn, vice president of customer services and chief customer privacy officer for San Diego Gas & Electric (SDG&E)--one of Sempra Energy's regulated California utilities--examines why it's critical utilities provide affordable options to help low income customers who are struggling to make ends meet.Comments: 1
As we continue Intelligent Utility's popular "best of" series reviewing the tweets of electric utilities and related industry insiders, we've reached the hot-and-humid month of July, full of insights from CUB Illinois, PSO, Entergy Louisiana, yours truly and one very content customer.Comments: 2
Now that we have smart grids (somewhat), smart sensors (somewhere) and lots of data (somehow), we're thinking about all the neat and nifty ways we can use it, including a grid that is so entrenched in real-time market and load information that it can respond directly. But, won't that offer an intruder more points of potential penetration?
100-year-old Connecticut Light & Power (CL&P) is the largest electric utility in that tiny state, serving about 1.2 million customers. All those years of experience have taught CL&P a thing or two about crafting customer service programs, especially in the area of retro-commissioning. This is part two of a two-part series. (Link to part one included inside.)
Recently, former Federal Energy Regulatory Commission (FERC) chairman Jim Hoecker was quoted in The New York Times in an article on the power grid's "many owners." Hoecker wrote about specific grid issues—namely FERC Order No. 1000---in our most recent issue of Intelligent Utility magazine. Read more than just a single sound bite from Hoecker by clicking through to part two of his article on Order 1000.Comments: 1

Endless HarBowl hype with memories of John and Jim Harbaugh practically dating back to the womb?
Beyonce holding a news conference Thursday to talk about whether she lip-synched the national anthem at the presidential inauguration?
Is anybody even talking about the big game Sunday?
Actually, at times, it seems as if Super Bowl XLVII between the Ravens and San Francisco 49ers is almost an afterthought. And the Ravens haven't exactly been shy about yakking it up on non-game topics, either.
Ray Lewis, for one, keeps having to interrupt his "last ride" reverie to deny using — of all things — deer antler spray, which apparently contains a substance (IGF-1) banned by most major sports, probably because it sounds so ludicrous.
Bernard Pollard keeps insisting the NFL will be dead in 30 years if they keep making it a wuss league with all these rules changes where you can't even take a guy's head off anymore without drawing a flag.
And Joe Flacco, who's normally about as chatty as the repo man who's come to tow your car, has weighed in — sometimes with a poor choice of words — on everything from cold-weather Super Bowl sites to NFL commissioner Roger Goodell to Art Modell getting into the Hall of Fame.
Hoo, boy. And it's only Thursday.
The thing is, it's not just the Ravens yakking about everything under the sun in the Big Easy.
How about the 49ers' Randy Moss saying he's the greatest receiver in NFL history? Better than Jerry Rice, better than Terrell Owens, better than Cris Carter, better than Michael Irvin. Better even than God, although Moss wasn't directly asked about that.
The Niners have also had to answer questions about their former teammate, defensive tackle Kwame Harris, who was charged with assaulting his ex-boyfriend after a riff that started with the boyfriend — stay with me here — pouring soy sauce on a plate of rice.
Sure, that's just the kind of thing you want to be addressing as an NFL player when your dream finally comes true and you reach the league's biggest stage.
Yet so much of it is just standard Super Bowl craziness, which breaks out every year at this time no matter which two teams are playing.
The fact is, it's often hard for players not to say anything stupid or controversial during Super Bowl Week.
Oh, they go there with the best of intentions. They go there fully briefed on the media hordes awaiting them and the need not to embarrass their team with dopey statements.
But then they get caught up in the circus atmosphere. Everywhere they go, a TV camera is winking on and someone's sticking a microphone in their face.
With so many opportunities to screw up and say something dumb, some players invariably do.

That headline is Google SEO brilliance. It's got a bigger tent than Barnum and Bailey.
by Joe Lindsey
As you can tell, I'm going nuts. I'm knee-deep in Bicycling's 2010 Buyer's Guide. In years past it meant being surrounded by catalogs; now it means having 46 web browser windows open and comparing front derailleur spec on nearly identical $3,000 made-in-Taiwan carbon bikes.
But in this madness, some truths percolate through like the hand-roasted-in-the US-of-A coffee that I drink each morning in this great nation of ours, with creamer as white as the snows of Alaska as seen from Kamchatka. Hey, that reminds me: Slate's "Write Like Sarah Palin" contest winner has been announced.
Here are a few observations, in no particular order:
-There is no reason to spend more than about $3,800 on a road bike. A 16-pound, Ultegra/Force equipped carbon bike is going to give you 97 percent of the performance of a 13/14-pound $16,000 Di2-equipped carbon bike.
-That said, if you want to spend more, be my guest. That extra three percent is where the fun is.
-Cyclocross and NAHBS have double-handedly (two-fistedly?) revived the high end tubular. I never thought the day would come when online retailers would be unable to keep $100+ tubulars in stock because of demand. I certainly never thought I'd see the words "Francois Marie Boyaux" on Twitter. But the times they have arrived.
-If you're going to buy a tubular tire that's more expensive per wheel than Z-rated Pirellis, please know how to install it, especially in 'cross, where low pressure makes a solid glue bond essential. There are lots of resources out there, but if you don't use them you can't blame the tire when you roll it at 19psi in the Masters 35+ field at state championships.
-If you need a tire repaired, you can do it yourself, but given the hassle, it's hard to beat Tire Alert's prices.
-There appears to be a nascent backlash against the handbuilt bike world – or at least, a specific faction of it. I eagerly await an Xtranormal video parody of a UBI framebuilding class.
-Advice to prospective reality-TV show aspirants: please have the bare minimum of foresight to make sure that the results of your publicity stunt do not include A) criminal charges, B) shutting down a major airport, (see: Heene, Richard), or C) media scrutiny that unveils a pattern of sociopathic compulsive lying and outright theft. It helps not to be a sociopathic lying thief. (See: Salahi, Tareq and Michaele.)
-If Liquigas actually does stay intact going into the 2010 Tour de France, will Roman Kreuziger's ambitions singlehandedly torpedo Ivan Basso's return to the race like Alberto Contador did to Lance Armstrong? And if Kreuziger does move to Omega Pharma-Lotto, is the fact that that's a direct snub to Jurgen van den Broeck (15th overall in 2009) an immediate death knell for team unity on that team? Would that just prove once and for all that general manager Geert Coeman is the Al Davis of cycling? Is it (gasp) possible that Cadel Evans was not actually the problem?
Tune in shortly for more.

"What a fun way to learn," exclaimed Minden Elementary School fifth-grade teacher Pam Ertel.
She said she was thrilled to be able to bring her class to winter camp last week as part of Great Basin Outdoor School.
"I've discovered things about my students that will help me teach them the rest of the year," Ertel said.
Students spent three days learning winter safety and science and two nights in heated cabins on the shore of Lake Tahoe. Snowshoeing was a new experience for most of them, and some saw Lake Tahoe for the first time.

Eric Hobsbawm was a highly acclaimed Marxist historian and professor emeritus, Department of History, Classics and Archaeology, and president, Birkbeck University of London.
The Center for European and Eurasian Studies is deeply saddened by the death of Professor Eric Hobsbawm, the highly acclaimed Marxist historian, in London on October 1, 2012. He was 95. Hobsbawm lectured at CEES on several occasions. His death is a major loss for the international community of historians and social scientists. Hobsbawm was a towering scholar, one of the best historians of the 20th century, whose works are indispensable for understanding modern Europe. His early book on Social Bandits and Primitive Rebels and his four volume history of modern Europe – The Age of Revolution, The Age of Capital, The Age of Empire, and The Age of Extremes – are among the giants of historical writing. In the four volume series, Hobsbawm exposed the drama and complexity of modern European history from the French Revolution to the collapse of the Soviet Union. His memoir, Interesting Times, examined the span of the 20th century through his own often troubled but extremely rich and productive life from his birth in Egypt to his life, work, and personal experiences in Austria, Germany, Latin America, and England. Eric Hobsbawm never stopped working. His last book, How to Change the World: Tales of Marx and Marxism, came out at the end of 2011 and, until his death, he had been working on a new project on the role of religion in politics. In addition to his academic oeuvre in history, Hobsbawm , in the early years of his career and writing under the pseudonym of Francis Newton, published articles on jazz. An updated version of The Jazz Scene was issued under his own name in 1993. A socially sensitive man, Hobsbawm remained faithful to his ideals throughout his life.
