InkTip Advice: On Brevity
Written by: Jared Wynn
Published: Sep 27, 2011
42 movies were made through InkTip in 2015 alone!!! And hundreds more writers have sold/optioned their screenplays by having their scripts on InkTip.com. Go here to register. Go here to list your scripts.
Who the hell is Jared Wynn and why should I read his advice?
Well, and like a lot of young film professionals, I've worn a lot of different hats in this business. I researched and developed television crime documentaries, I've worked on set, I've acted, and I even did a stint in film finance, but lately I've been managing the Membership Department at InkTip where I help producers, agents and managers find scripts. I have more responsibilities there at InkTip than I have time to get into, but if you have a script on InkTip, realize I'm the guy who checked references on the producers who are able to read your script, and I'm the guy who'll coordinate between you and the producer, agent or manager if one of them options your script or signs you as a client.
I spend a lot of time coordinating between writers and producers because about 150 movies have been made since I've been with the company, but not all of the conversations are about options or contracts with writers. Sometimes producers will call to talk about getting a project in development listed on IMDb, or to ask about other producers whose names they saw on the newsletter, or just to ask for advice on writers in general. I've held literally thousands of telephone conversations with producers over the years, I've heard a lot of stories, and I've seen a lot of writers get their big break - and I've seen a lot of writers screw up and lose out on an opportunity, too. Thing is, most writers don't fail for lack of wanting, they just screw up somewhere along the way because they don't know what not to do.
Look at it this way, a writer in this business is a lot like a soldier at war. Most of the writer's time is spent either exploring faraway places or maintaining the tedium of discipline, but every once in a while opportunity strikes, or everything just goes completely fubar, and inexperienced writers in those moments are like untrained soldiers in the thick of battle. They're as likely to shoot themselves in the foot as they are to hit an enemy.
No, I'm not going to sell you these secrets to success. I personally don't buy into the "numberteen secrets of highly successful secrets" business anyway; I know some people who make a living in that line of work and I don't think what they're selling has anywhere near the value you'd get from just joining a writers' group or finding someone online and asking questions. So that's what I'm going to do instead, I'm going to share an anecdote and an email from a writer, and then I'll open it up to some questions. Let's get started.
You've heard a lot of advice already on pitching, formatting a script, picking a genre, writing query letters... but how many people have stressed the value of brevity in communication?
This is the funniest thing, because writers can be really verbose, and getting long-ass emails from writers is a common pet peeve among producers. Picture this scenario as a back-and-forth email conversation:
Writers, don't be discouraged, but realize you have a lot of competition! There are a lot of scripts sitting on shelves waiting to be read, and producers never have enough time to read them all! Imagine you're the producer and there's a stack of scripts in the corner of your office. Those scripts in the corner are all better than average, they've already been singled out and covered by your starving, low-paid professional readers, but they've also been pitched elsewhere and are probably sitting in other stacks in other producers' offices as well, just waiting to be read. The first twenty you picked up were great, but they didn't fit your budget, so when the next one worked for you and your business model, you were torn. It might be the project that'll make you rich, but there might be an even better project in that stack, and lord knows you're never going to find time to read them all.
What do you do when you ask a writer a question and it turns into a long, personal conversation? I don't want to suggest that producers don't have lots of friends, but I will say this: these are people who typically do not have lots of long, personal conversations - with anyone. Hell, if you're a producer you probably aren't even reading this far into the article because it wasn't summed up for you in a single sentence. So for those of you who are still reading, here's that single sentence:
Be brief in all your business communications.
That's it, that's my tip for the day. Ironic that I wrote a fifteen-hundred word article about brevity, but there you have it.
Check out this actual email from Darren P. Faulkner, a writer whose script was optioned through InkTip recently. I asked him if he had any advice to share with his fellow writers, and this was what he said:
----------------------- Original Message -----------------------
This is my first screenplay to be optioned having toiled away for over four years. In that time, I have learnt allot and if I can give any advice to aspiring writers, it is simply a war of attrition - while you're still hanging in there, perfecting your craft, there are many, many others, giving up or falling by the way side...just hang in there. If you are any good, and you believe so, it is just a matter of patience and time.
(Producer name redacted), from (company redacted), is the ultimate professional. I responded to a lead he placed on InkTip and within days he had responded requesting to see my screenplay. I sent it off and it wasn't that long before I received a two lined reply that he liked it and how much he would offer. There's no mucking around, he either likes your script or he doesn't. As soon I had replied, agreeing, within days I had the contract, which was signed and returned (you can't help but be efficient when the process is so streamlined). And all this was done via email correspondence, which living in Australia, was both relieving and inexpensive.
The only other thing I could possibly add is to be respectful. These people are time poor professionals who respect writers who can get their point across in a succinct and efficient manner. Last thing they want is to be wading through a 'potential' writers email, looking for the information they really need. Be brief, direct and to the point. Professionals love that, and they will be more inclined to put a little time in reading your email if you just make it brief. Let your writing sell you, not your correspondence.
I hope you are well.
Best regards
(Darren P. Faulkner)
Darren summed it up better than I could have: "let your writing sell you, not your correspondence." Now here are a couple questions to ponder:
1. What other bits of advice came through in that email?

'The Pavement' - an Interview with Director Taylor Engel
South Carolina-based Taylor Engel's short, "The Pavement" — which got him into the top 10 for HBO's Project Greenlight — had me enthralled the moment it began. Through its rhythmic delivery, simple visual nature, and dark aesthetic, it pulls us through a sinister human story that gets at our primal nature. Its simplicity is partly attributed to the needs of the story, and partly to the time frame in which it was created. Engel and his team planned and finished the film in just one month, all while working around their day jobs.

Our current work includes the development of new classes of molecular biosensors, which will allow us to monitor dozens of critical signaling pathways in real time. We are applying these new tools to investigate the fundamental cellular behaviors that underlie embryonic development, wound healing, cancer progression, and functions of the immune and nervous systems. Some recent publications are highlighted below.
Soong TW, Yue DT. RNA editing of the IQ domain in Cav1.3 channels modulates their Ca2+-dependent inactivation. Neuron, Volume 3, page 304.
CaV1.3 Ca2+ channels figure critically in the rhythmicity of numerous oscillatory regions throughout the brain, including the circadian clock in suprachiasmatic nucleus. One of the 'intelligent' features of these channels is their Ca2+ negative feedback control system, enabling quantitative matching of channel Ca2+ influx to the needs of neuronal circuits. Ironically, this feature relies upon an 'IQ' domain (containing isoleucine and glutamine residues) situated on the carboxy tail of channels. Huang et al from the Soong and Yue laboratories now report that this IQ domain is RNA edited throughout the brain, yielding alternate versions of this critical motif, including the 'MQ' (methionine-glutamine) variant depicted in the cover. This editing allows exquisite molecular adjustment of Ca2+ negative feedback gain of CaV1.3 channels, which is shown to be important for rhythmicity in suprachiasmatic nucleus and likely numerous other brain regions.
Kim, J. H., Cho, A., Yin, H., Schafer, D. A., Mouneimne, G., Simpson, K. J., Nguyen, K.V., Brugge, J. S. and Montell, D. J. Psidin, a Conserved Protein that Regulates Protrusion Dynamics and Cell Migration. Genes & Development, Volume 25, page 730.
Dynamic assembly and disassembly of actin filaments is a major driving force for cell movements. Border cells in the Drosophila ovary provide a simple and genetically tractable model to study the mechanisms regulating cell migration. To identify new genes that regulate cell movement in vivo, we screened lethal mutations on chromosome 3R for defects in border cell migration and identified two alleles of the gene psidin (psid). In vitro, purified Psid protein bound F-actin and inhibited the interaction of tropomyosin with F-actin. In vivo, psid mutations exhibited genetic interactions with the genes encoding tropomyosin and cofilin. Border cells over-expressing Psid together with GFP-actin exhibited altered protrusion/retraction dynamics. Psid knockdown in cultured S2 cells reduced, and Psid over-expression enhanced, lamellipodial dynamics. Knockdown of the human homolog of Psid reduced the speed and directionality of migration in wounded MCF10A breast epithelial monolayers, whereas over-expression of the protein increased migration speed and altered protrusion dynamics in EGF stimulated cells. These results indicate that Psid is an actin regulatory protein, which plays a conserved role in protrusion dynamics and cell migration.
He, L., Wang, X., Tang, H. L. and Montell, D. J. Tissue elongation requires oscillating contractions of a basal actomyosin network. Nature Cell Biology, Volume 12, page 1133.
Understanding how molecular dynamics lead to cellular behaviors that ultimately sculpt organs and tissues is a major challenge not only in basic developmental biology but also in tissue engineering and regenerative medicine. We used live imaging to show that the basal surfaces of Drosophila follicle cells undergo a series of directional, oscillating contractions driven by periodic myosin accumulation on a polarized actin network. Inhibition of the actomyosin contractions or their coupling to extracellular matrix (ECM) blocked elongation of the whole tissue, whereas enhancement of the contractions exaggerated it. Myosin accumulated in a periodic manner prior to each contraction and was regulated by the small GTPase Rho, its downstream kinase ROCK and cytosolic calcium. Disrupting the link between the actin cytoskeleton and the ECM decreased, while enhancing cell-ECM adhesion increased, the amplitude and period of the contractions. In contrast, disrupting cell-cell adhesions resulted in loss of the actin network. Our findings reveal a novel mechanism controlling organ shape and a new model for the study of the effects of oscillatory actomyosin activity within a coherent cell sheet.
Griffin, E. E., Odde, D. J., Seydoux, G. Regulation of the MEX-5 Gradient by a Spatially Segregated Kinase/Posphatase Cycle. Cell, volume 146, page 955.
Protein concentration gradients encode spatial information across cells and tissues and often depend on spatially localized protein synthesis. Here, we report that a different mechanism underlies the MEX-5 gradient. MEX-5 is an RNA-binding protein that becomes distributed in a cytoplasmic gradient along the anterior-to-posterior axis of the one-cell C. elegans embryo. We demonstrate that the MEX-5 gradient is a direct consequence of an underlying gradient in MEX-5 diffusivity. The MEX-5 diffusion gradient arises when the PAR-1 kinase stimulates the release of MEX-5 from slow-diffusive, RNA-containing complexes in the posterior cytoplasm. PAR-1 directly phosphorylates MEX-5 and is antagonized by the spatially uniform phosphatase PP2A. Mathematical modeling and in vivo observations demonstrate that spatially segregated phosphorylation and dephosphorylation reactions are sufficient to generate stable protein concentration gradients in the cytoplasm. The principles demonstrated here apply to any spatially segregated modification cycle that affects protein diffusion and do not require protein synthesis or degradation.

Students across the Lone Star State have been dreading it. Now the time for TAKS testing is here. Texas students in elementary, middle and high schools will take the tests this week.
'TAKS' stands for 'Texas Academic Knowledge and Skills'.
On Wednesday, students will take the language arts portion of the test.
Officials say the results show how well students are learning the curriculum.
But the tests are not just nerve wracking for students. Denison Superintendent Dr. Henry Scott says it affects teachers and administrators as well.
"Our students have done well in the past, and we trust they'll do well again, but it doesn't mean you're not worried and nervous about it, because you are," Denison ISD superintendent Dr. Henry Scott says.
High school seniors must pass the test to graduate.

Set Visit: A trip to Asgard for 'Thor' reveals secrets of next May's Marvel movie
MANHATTAN BEACH, CA - Standing in the middle of Heimdall's Observatory, with the Rainbow Bridge extending from the front of the room, we need only turn the dials built into the walls and the floor to send ourselves anywhere in the Universe.
Of course, we may have to get past the frozen warrior standing outside first.
When I got the call to join a group of other journalists on the set of the new Marvel Studios movie "Thor," due in theaters next May, I didn't have to think about it. For one thing, it's not every day you can drive your own car for just over an hour and end up in Asgard. And for another thing, I was curious to see how Marvel planned to handle one of the trickiest of the steps on the road to "The Avengers," and I'll be the first to admit it… I had my doubts.
After all, it's one thing to make a movie like "Iron Man," or a movie like "The Incredible Hulk," where we see fantastic characters dropped into a world that is very recognizable. That's a big part of the Marvel Universe in general, and one of the reasons for its enduring appeal. But with "Thor," you're introducing a whole new world of rules, and you're suddenly stretching the Marvel Universe in a new direction, expanding it to include magic. I've always liked "Thor" as a comic, but as a film? It seems like the biggest gamble yet for Marvel Studios.
When we all arrived at the complex that Marvel Studios now occupies, complete with several soundstages, we were greeted by Tamar, one of Paramount's uber-publicists, as well as the one and only Kevin Feige, one of the primary architects of everything Marvel's been up to recently. We started talking about the challenges that are inherent to "Thor" as we stood outside, and right up front, Feige acknowledged just how tricky it's been for Marvel to get their collective head around their approach to the property. In the end, we were told that they pushed hard to stick close to the traditional visual approach to the character, and that they were working hard to preserve as many connections to the comic as possible, something that wasn't always the case as they developed the material over the years.
Saying that is one thing, but when we stepped into the art department for the film, it was immediately apparent that they mean what they say. The production design team, lead by the great Bo Welch, had one of the greatest challenges in any Marvel movie so far, the world of Asgard, and their approach is colorful, dynamic, and epic-scaled. I was stunned as I walked through the room, looking at all the original comic art on the walls and the design work for the film, all of it carefully incorporating elements that any fan of Jack Kirby's work is going to adore. I've always loved the more cosmic end of the Marvel universe, and no one did that the way Kirby did.
As we walked further into the art department, we also started to see elements of the Earth sequences in the film, and even without explanation, the art started to suggest story elements for the film and hint at what we can expect to see next summer. Keep in mind, this was before "Iron Man 2" came out, so when we saw the design for the crater where Thor falls to Earth and saw sketches of the now-familiar Agent Coulson, played in both "Iron Man" films by Clark Gregg, we got our first clues about how the film was going to start tying the other films in the Marvel Universe into this one. What I was most interested in was the work that went into building an entire Arizona town for the film's final act.
And why would you build an entire town in Arizona?
So you can destroy it, obviously.
One of my biggest complaints about superhero films so far has been the lack of epic scale fights that really demonstrate what might happen if you had two massively powered beings kicking the living crap out of each other, and with "Thor," that is going to change. And it won't just be two combatants, either. That town is going to have to withstand the combined fury of Thor, the Warriors Three, and the Destroyer, and I have a feeling those buildings aren't making it through intact.
We also saw various concept art for the Rainbow Bridge, one of the trickiest things to pull off onscreen. If you're not familiar with the comic or with Norse mythology, the Rainbow Bridge is the passageway from Midgard (our Earth) to Asgard, the home of the Norse gods. In the comics, it's exactly what it sounds like. It's a big bridge, and it's a rainbow. For the film, Marvel really wasn't comfortable with that, and so when we walked down to our first soundstage of the morning, which is where we stepped into the set for Heimdall's Observatory, that was one of the first questions asked. After, "Is Idris Alba here today?", of course.
The answer to the question was the beginning of a larger conversation, one that led me to realize that Marvel isn't treating this as a fantasy film at all. They've made the decision to treat the film as science-fiction, and in order to do so, they needed to address the idea of magic, and in doing so, they've set it up so that Asgard is an actual physical place. Heimdall's Observatory is the place where Asgardians go to travel to other realms, and they explained to us that all Heimdall has to do is set the location where someone wants to travel to, and then they step out onto a sort of energy platform that extends from the front of the room. When Heimdall inserts his sword directly into the platform and turns it like a key, the settings send an energy pulse containing the person standing on the platform all the way to wherever their location is. By creating a pseudo-scientific explanation to ground things, and by simply defining "magic" as "science that is so far beyond us that we can't understand it," they've found a way to drag "Thor" and "Iron Man" into some sort of middle ground.
Walking around the Observatory and checking out the engravings on the various dials and surfaces, I was struck by the combination of familiar symbols and totally alien ones, and that was evidently the point. We are to understand that the Asgardians made contact with citizens of Earth at a distant point in the past, and the memories that were handed down from those encounters led to Norse mythology.
On the next soundstage, we saw Odin's Vault, where all of the most powerful artifacts found during the various adventures the Asgardians had in all the realms around the galaxy are kept. This is one of the most important sets for not just this film, but the entire Marvel Universe. You could see items from this vault show up in all sorts of films if only someone without any moral compass were to find their way past all the security. But surely there's no one like that in Asgard… right?
We also walked through Odin's Throne Room, which was already finished as a location, as well as an outdoor set that was built for the coronation sequence that opens the film. Both sets suggest a a scale that will be impressive, bigger than anything Marvel's attempted before.
Will it work?
Well, we'll get into that more in the next set visit, which you'll see here next week. I've got interviews with Tom Hiddleston, this film's Loki, as well as Colm Feore, one of the Frost Giants, chats with two of the three Warriors, and an informal chat with Kenneth Branagh about stepping into the Marvel Universe. And once we start talking to them, you'll quickly start learning even more of the film's story secrets.
But that's next week. First up, you'll be able to see the trailer for the film later today, and we'll update this story with a link to it when it finally appears.
I'm off to BNAT this weekend, and then I've got a weird, hopefully wonderful last-minute opportunity that means I'm on the road Monday. We'll settle back in for the holiday groove next Tuesday. In the meantime, I'm hoping we'll have some more new "Thor" images for you later in the day as well.
"Thor" will be in theaters everywhere May 6, 2011.

Town Doctor Battles Katrina's Bad Breaks
Dr. Regina Benjamin founded a rural health care clinic in Bayou la Batre, Ala., 15 years ago. Katrina's 25-foot storm surge flooded her modest office, but she's still on the job, tending to people who fall between the cracks of Medicaid and private insurance.
During a recent day's work, the good doctor patched together patients while workers tried to put her office back together.
All around the small town, which relies heavily on shrimp and fishing in the Gulf of Mexico, families were facing similar problems with flood damage and trying to move toward an uncertain future.

Candi and The Strangers
0 Shouts - 2,170 Scrobbles
Candi and the Strangers are an electro psychedelic pop band from Austin, TX. Founding members John Constant, Samantha Constant, Greg Rose, and Angie Rose recorded their album with respected local producer Erik Wofford (The Black Angels, White Denim), who then joined their band. The debut self-titled album was self-released in November 2009. Their sound has been described as "what you get when you combine '60s era French pop, the Virgin Suicides soundtrack, plus a bit of Portishead if they were in a really good mood."Read More...

Secret Achievements
Campaign: Reach level three weapon proficiency with the P99.
The P99 is the signature weapon of James Bond, and you begin each mission with it in your possession. To gain weapon proficiency levels with this or any gun, you need to get a certain amount of kills with it. To gain Level 1 you need 35 kills, Level 2 you need 70 kills and Level 3 you need 105 kills. Once you have killed 105 enemies with the P99, you will have reached proficiency level 3 and the achievement will unlock.
With or Without Q
Reach Graves plane without using any in-car gadgets.
During the fourth mission 'Die Another Day', you will eventually come to a part where you get into your Aston Martin and chase The bad guy 'Graves'. During the chase you will be prompted to use certain gadgets that are built into your car, but you cannot use any of them. First you will be asked to turn on your traction control. Ignore it and continue driving without it. Be aware that your car will be more difficult to control without traction control, but do not turn it on. You will then be prompted to turn on the 'Threat Detection System'. Again, ignore this and keep driving. You will be avoiding mortar strikes and the Icarus(A giant laser beam), so be careful, but refrain from using any of the 2 gadgets at your disposal. You will eventually get to a cutscene with another car that has caught up to you.
After the cutscene, you will be behind the car that has caught up to you and you will be prompted to activate your 'Weapon Systems'. Do not do this and continue driving. You will still be avoiding strikes from the giant laser beam and mortar strikes from the green car in front of you. Be patient and keep driving without using any of your gadgets. Eventually you will catch up to the green car and crash into them to force them into one of the giant laser beams.
After this cutscene, you will be on the runway and have to catch up to a plane that is taking off. Once you reach the plane and drive up the ramp, you will activate a cutscene and the plane will take off, unlocking the achievement.
Huge thanks to Youtube user

Hrdvsion's obsession with morphing sounds and musical hardware continues to be the main inspiration for his musical explorations. Growing up in a musical home, with a harpsichord, guitar, an electric piano and a throng of bush band instruments brought Nathan Jonson into the world of Hrdvsion. Easy access to these instruments led to his interest in abusing sound by the age of 8. His remaining formative years included a focused foray into the over-edited, deconstructed sounds of influences such as Squarepusher and Aphex Twin. In his early performing years, Nathan's chopped and disjointed sounds presented an interesting contrast to the seamless sounds of his brother, Mathew.How, 10 years later, he has begun fusing Techno with experimental music to create something both dance-friendly and adventurous. His music is often about abusing software and hardware to achieve sounds that may not otherwise be possible through 'normal' uses of the equipment. For his first MUTEK appearance, Hrdvsion will be presenting an exclusive set designed around transitions, morphing one sound into another and experimenting with sounds over time, while maintaining an overall musical quality.
Métropolis 04/06/2010
Wagon Repair recording artist Hrdvsion (aka Nathan Jonson) has been involved in Canada's west-coast electronic-music community for nearly a decade, carving out heady, IDM-infused soundscapes for labels such as Itiswhatitis and his brother Mathew Jonson's Wagon Repair. Though Mathew may lean more decidedly toward a more traditional techno template, Nathan distinguished himself early on through his interest in experimental rhythmic structures that aligned him closer to the early works of Aphex Twin and the sound of labels like Replex and Planet Mu. Armed with a style that allows him to rework a broad range of musical sounds, Jonson has remixed such acts as Hot Hot Heat, Dominik Eulberg, and Circlesquare. He arrives at MUTEK 2010 in advance of his debut album on Wagon Repair, "Where Did You Just Go?", which sees him moving his interests away from the experimental fringes and toward the techno mainstream.
Société des arts technologiques [SAT] 01/06/2006Aussi prometteur que son grand frère Mathew, Hrdvision aka Nathan Jonson est un petit génie de l'électro qui manipule les logiciels de musique depuis son plus jeune âge et a fini par créer sa propre vision (dure) de la musique. Sa démarche découle d'une utilisation pervertie de ses logiciels et de son matériel, les détournant de leurs fonctions initiales pour faire naître des sons improbables. Un travail particulièrement axé sur les transitions et transformations d'un son en un autre; une expérimentation des sonorités sur la durée tout en conservant une certaine musicalité. Il prépare cette année pour MUTEK un numéro exclusif. En live, il retravaille ses EPs, en échantillonnant à partir de son ordinateur et de ses vinyles, et compose avec les possibilités qu'offre leur qualité sonore. Jouant de son matériel d'enregistrement comme d'un instrument, Hrdvision développe un style bien barré et déstructuré qui plaira aux amateurs d'IDM.

An amazing guy who is so funny, and wonderful. Someone who can brighten anyone's day no matter how sad they are. He's sweet, and handsome. He can be sarcastic but he gets it from me, well some of it. He gets scared of nonscary things, and he has an amazing sense of style with wicked hair to accompany it. His smile is adorable, and his laugh is too. He smells like heaven, even though I don't know the exact name of the cologne he uses. I can pretty much say that I'm in love with this guy, entirely. His name means more to me than it would to anyone else, and I'm pretty sure of that.
Wow, Kevin is such a great guy.

Hmm, now this is interesting. Legolas' feeling are already deeper than I thought. I can't wait to see how everything is going to work out because I, like Legolas, think Guthwyn would be terrified to learn of where his thoughts had been when he was saving her from falling out of the tree. She may be learning to be friends with him, but I still think she is a long way away from any type of romantic feelings for him. I know that is probably where you are headed with this story, so I can't wiat to see how you get her to that point. I bet there are going to be some interesting scenes between them in the coming chapters. I hope you find the time to update soon.

Legolas is SO in over his head.
| jazsqr chapter 171 . 11/14/2010
Wow, even understanding that Thranduil's words were shaped by his disappointments with man, it's quite shocking to read something so blatantly racist. Like Legolas, I am angry on Guthwyn's behalf:)
It would seem everyone senses the attraction between Legolas and Guthwyn besides them.
| neFaerieous chapter 170 . 11/5/2010
Aw, that was sweet. And you wrote it so that it doesn't come off juvenile or too syrupy. Yay, something nice for our lady G.

How To Climb a Tree should be changed to 'How to make Tree Climbing Romantic' XD
Loved the chapter though, it made me smile :)
| jazsqr chapter 170 . 10/30/2010
I never thought tree climbing could be quite so romantic. Guthwyn is certainly slowly discovering her feelings. It's a sign of great progress the contact with Legolas did not freak her out. When in the past even a man would've done so, never mind an elf who looked like Haldor.
Fun update.

Nothing that needs to be said cannot be contained in a single " ;) "

Notes posted to Ruby on RailsRSS feed
this has been deprecated; see linked note
This has been deprecated. See this note on memoize : http://apidock.com/rails/ActiveSupport/Memoizable/memoize#1317-this-has-been-deprecated-replace-with-Memoist
this has been deprecated; replace with Memoist
In Rails 3.2, memoize has been deprecated. In edge Rails, it has been removed.
The commit when it was deprecated: http://github.com/rails/rails/commit/36253916b0b788d6ded56669d37c96ed05c92c5c
A Stack Overflow question about this change: http://stackoverflow.com/q/9132197/578288
I personally disagree with the removal of memoize, and don't recommend using the `||=` pattern Rails now suggests. The exception is if your entire program only memoizes something once or twice, so it's not worth including a gem for.
The easiest way to keep using memoize is to use the Memoist gem (http://github.com/matthewrudy/memoist , http://rubygems.org/gems/memoist), which is a simple extraction of ActiveSupport::Memoizable into its own gem.
Adding Additional Parameters to form_for
If you want to add additional parameters to the form_for helper, but still want to use one form for both your "create" and your "update" actions, you can add the additional parameters to the :url option, but you need to omit the :controller and :action keys.
form_for(@user, :url => {:param1 => "value1", :param2 => "value2"}) do |f|
form_for([@post, @comment], :url => {:param1 => "value1", :param2 => "value2"}) do |f|
where param1 and param2 are not :controller or :action
Another usage example
given: order active record class with "state" string field
class Order < ActiveRecord::Base def state @state ||= ActiveSupport::StringInquirer.new(read_attribute(:status)) end end order = Order.new(state: "initial") order.state.initial? #=> true order.state.paid? #=> false
add_to_base in Rails 3
In addition to stevo's note, in Rails 3 you can also do:
model_instance.errors.add(:base, "Msg")
Month-first date string no longer parses correctly
The following date format won't be parsed correctly:
Use this instead:
Date.strptime("6/15/2012", '%m/%d/%Y')
Example of usage
str = ActiveSupport::StringInquirer.new('test') str.test? # => true str.foobar? # => false
:disable_with is deprecated
Or you can use this way:
<%= submit_tag "Login", data: { disable_with: "Please wait.." } %>
:disable_with is deprecated
Since version 3.2.5 you should not use :disable_with.
Use this:
<%= submit_tag "Login", 'data-disable-with' => "Please wait.." %>
You can remove leading Zeros this way as well
By just adding a - symbol.
%-I %-d
This method does not work.
It's an old problem, reported back in 2010, just reopened issue:
Accepted parameters for validate
Validate method also accepts :on and :if parameters. The default value for :on is :save, the other accepted values are :create and :update
class Comment include ActiveModel::Validations validate :must_be_friends, :on => :create, :if => Proc.new {|comment| some_condition} def must_be_friends errors.add(:base, "Must be friends to leave a comment") unless commenter.friend_of?(commentee) end end
similar to clone
See the clone documentation. I see that ActiveRecord is moving from "clone" (3.0.9) to "dup" (?).
Beware nested with_options clobbers!
with_options :foo => :bar do |something| something.with_options :foo => :baz do |inner| what_is(:foo) end end
:foo will be :baz. It will not be [:bar, :baz], for example.
This bit me when trying to do nested with_options for validation where both had :if => something.
If you try to use :id as a non-primary-key field
If you're using this so that you can repurpose :id for another use, it gets hairy: your ActiveRecord::Base subclass will still use :id to refer to your primary key, whatever it be named.
So when you call [my obj].id = 33, 33 is set as the value of your primary key, not your :id attribute!
STI - Making callbacks trigger in inherited classes
Assuming we have
class ParentClass < ActiveRecord::Base attr_accessible :type end class ChildClass < ParentClass after_save :perform_something end
ParentClass.create({:type => "ChildClass"})
will not trigger ChildClass callbacks. What is more, it will return instance of ParentClass instead of ChildClass.
To resolve this issue, you need to define following module
module ActiveRecord module CallbacksAwareSti extend ActiveSupport::Concern module ClassMethods def new(*args, &block) return super(*args, &block) unless args.first.respond_to?(:with_indifferent_access) type = args.first.with_indifferent_access[:type] if type.blank? or (type = type.constantize) == self super(*args, &block) else super(*args, &block).becomes(type) end end end end end
and include it in parent class
class ParentClass < ActiveRecord::Base include ActiveRecord::CallbacksAwareSti attr_accessible :type end
Inspired by http://stackoverflow.com/questions/4518935/activerecord-problems-using-callbacks-and-sti
block only and except
class Journal < ActionController::Base # Require authentication for edit and delete. before_filter :authorize, :only => [:edit, :delete] # Passing options to a filter with a block. around_filter(:except => :index) do |controller, action_block| results = Profiler.run(&action_block) controller.response.sub! "", "#{results}" end private def authorize # Redirect to login unless authenticated. end end
Hidden Field Example
Here's a pseudo code example of a hidden field within an ERB template. A post has many comments and this comment form is in a post's show view. This would set a comment's post_id attribute.
<%= form_for(@comment) do |f| %>
<%= f.hidden_field :post_id, :value => @post.id %>
<% end %>
method to use instead
This may be obvious, but the replacement for this method is csrf_meta_tags.
Example from Code School
module Tweets
class ShowPresenter extend ActiveSupport::Memoizable def initialize(tweet) @tweet = tweet end def username @tweet.user.username end def status @tweet.status end def favorites_count @tweet.favorites.count end memoize :username, :status, :favorites_count end end
MUCH easier way to pluralize without the number...
Just use Ruby!
HTML5 data- attributes using RESTful approach
HTML5 specifies extensible attributes like data-foo="bar" (or as in Twitter Bootstrap data-toggle="modal"), which poses two problems for Rails.
First, if you're using symbol notation in link_to to specify attributes, this fails (dash is not a valid symbol character), so
link_to "Edit", @user, :class => "btn", :data-toggle => "modal"
There are two solutions:
put the symbols in quotes,
use the special :data hash
Solution 1: Quote Symbols
link_to "Edit", @user, :class => "btn", "data-toggle" => "modal"
Solution 2: Use the :data hash
link_to "Edit", @user, :class => "btn", :data => {:toggle => "modal"}
Resulting HTML
Edit
The second is minimally documented, but as a hash, can accept multiple values and is perhaps a little cleaner
I got it
Perfect match to work with attr_accessible
To change default locale by the parameter you can set :locale option, like below:
select_date 'user', 'birth', :locale => 'de'
Missed close tag
At the page http://apidock.com/rails/ActionView/Helpers/TagHelper/tag
<tt>.data()</tt> should be instead of <tt>.data()<tt>
Looks like this method has trouble with attributes:
require 'rubygems' require 'bundler' require 'active_support/core_ext' require 'pp' xml = '<test id="appears"> <comment id="doesnt appear"> it worked </comment> <comment> see! </comment> <comment /> </test>' hash = Hash.from_xml(xml) pp hash #=>{"test"=>{"id"=>"appears", "comment"=>["it worked", "see!", nil]}} # Notice how the id attribute on the first comment element doesn't appear.
Options select_hour
In my view I wanted to do this <%= select_hour(@hour, :start => 8, :end => 12) %> but did not work. I looked at the documentation and have not seen anything like it. http://api.rubyonrails.org/classes/ActionView/Helpers/DateHelper.html#method-i-select_hour
So I studied how it worked this helper. http://api.rubyonrails.org/classes/ActionView/Helpers/DateHelper.html#method-i-select_hour develop and achieve this:
the helper application:
module DataAnnouncementsHelper
class HelperDate < ActionView::Helpers::DateTimeSelector def select_hour if @options[:use_hidden] || @options[:discard_hour] build_hidden(:hour, hour) else build_options_and_select(:hour, hour, :end => @options[:end], :start => @options[:start], :ampm => @options[:ampm]) end end end def select_hour(datetime, options = {}, html_options = {}) HelperData.new(datetime, options, html_options).select_hour end
The view:
<%= select_hour(@hour, :start => 8, :end => 12) %>
Where @hour = 10 the result is:
<select id="date_hour" name="date[hour]">
<option value="08">08</option> <option value="09">09</option> <option value="10" selected="selected">10</option> <option value="11">11</option> <option value="12">12</option>
JQuery script for dynamically adding and removing fields_for
I like drogus idea. But I wanted a cleaner one, so I created an unobtrusive JQuery script to have the same functionality.
Example Usage:
<%= form_for @post do |form| %> Title: <%= form.text_field :title %> Body: <%= form.text_field :body %> Tags:

 <%= form.fields_for :tag, Tag.new, :child_index => "replace_this" do |f| %> <%= f.text_field :name %> <%= f.hidden_field :_destroy, :value => 0, :class => "numerous-remove-field" %> <%= link_to "delete", "#", :class => "numerous-remove" %> <% end %>
 <%= link_to "add tag", "#", :class => "numerous-add", :id => "for-tag-list" %>
 <% end %>
See script at: http://github.com/kbparagua/numerous.js
:as option
root :to => 'projects#index', :as => 'foobar'
will generate a helper

So I've recently been seeing on the higher grade motherboards SATA 6.0gb/s ports. That's all fine and dandy. Extra room for expansion.. Now, my question is why are people already selling SATA 6.0GB/s port containing harddrives when it is already known that harddrives aren't even saturating 3.0GB/s(even server grade). Example link
What is the point of this?

The Court case has been scheduled for Christmas Eve. Seems a bit disrespectful of the Turkish authorities.
Yes, it seems disrespectful that they've scheduled it around Dec. 24, but do the Syriac Orthodox observe Christmas on the "Old Calendar"?

I have a SoundLab G056C USB turntable but I'm having trouble finding out how to get it to work with Audacity. For one thing I can't detect it in Windows or Mac - I'm told it comes up with the usual "drivers installing" popup but that doesn't happen on the Windows or Mac laptop I've plugged it into. One thing is that it's plugged straight into the computer using a USB cable - I don't think it needs a pre-amp but I don't know that for sure (the manual says just plug it in).
Does anyone have any experience with this model, or any general advice to get this to be detected? Once it's 'there' I can get Audacity to work with it no problem :)

I've spent most of the day on this, and it is driving me absolutely insane. On all other Unixes I've used, this is a walk in the park, but SLES 11 has me dumbfounded.
I need to build Zope on SLES 11 64 bit:
Linux <name> 22.214.171.124-0.1-default #1 SMP 2010-02-22 16:49:47 +0100 x86_64 x86_64 x86_64 GNU/Linux
I first tried to just use the YaST-installed Python 2.6. I've also installed python-devel, libjpeg-devel, readline-devel, libopenssl-devel, libz2-devel, zlib-devel, and libgcrypt-devel.
The global python2.6 has a lot of cruft in it, and seems to execute stuff in /etc/pythonstart when I use it, which doesn't help. However, the error I get is this:
Getting distribution for 'Zope2==2.12.3'.

An error occured when trying to install Zope2 2.12.3. Look above this message for any errors that were output by easy_install.
I don't know what "incompatible" is referring to here; my guess would be the hardware architecture, but I'm not sure what's incompatible with what in the statement above.
I've had problems with system-installed Pythons before, so I tried to compile my own (hence the list of -devel packages above), downloading the Python 2.6 tarball and running:
./configure --disable-tk --prefix=${HOME}/python
make install
This installs, but it seems to be unable to find any system-wide libraries. Here's a sample interpreter session:
Python 2.6.5 (r265:79063, Mar 29 2010, 17:04:12)

Both readline and hashlib (via libgrypt) should be installed, and the relevant -devel packages are also installed. On Ubuntu or OS X, this works just fine. On SuSE, no luck.
Any help greatly appreciated!

The primary aim of this study was to test a multivariate model of predictors of body dissatisfaction in adolescent girls in which psychological variables, beliefs about the importance of popularity with boys, and beliefs about the importance of thinness to attractiveness and dating were included. We also aimed to explore boys' perceptions of the importance of thinness for attractiveness. Grade 10 girls (n = 573) and boys (n = 145) completed questionnaires. Path analysis provided partial support for the model proposed. Dating did not predict body dissatisfaction, but a relationship between importance of popularity with boys and body dissatisfaction was fully mediated by the belief that boys see thinness as important in rating girls' attractiveness. Although girls underestimated the body size that is attractive to boys, over 85% of boys reported a girl's slimness influenced her attractiveness. Dating was not correlated with body mass index.

PAMPA - A deal between the Pampa Economic Development Corporation and a troubled local business has fallen through, but officials are hopeful it can be revived.
PEDC board member Dalton Lewis confirmed Wednesday that the board has decided to initiate foreclosure proceedings against Crall Products Inc. after the company's owner, Curtis Heard, did not come through with a promised payment.
"There was no payment made," Lewis said. "He (Heard) said his investors are still interested, but nothing has happened yet."
Heard, who did not return phone calls Wednesday, last month reached a deal with PEDC to stave off foreclosure against his business, which builds oilfield vessels.
The deal called for a one-time payment of $85,000 to retire a debt of about $190,000, but the payment was never made.
Crall, which has operated in Pampa since 1946, secured two loans worth $350,00 from PEDC in 1997 to purchase land and equipment. Heard said previously that the business suffered a slowdown that started in 1999, causing payments on the loans to be late.
Lewis said PEDC will proceed with foreclosure, but that does not mean the deal is off the table. If Heard can come up with the $85,000 before the foreclosure is finalized, PEDC would be willing to stick with its end of the bargain, Lewis said.
"We are just going to continue with the foreclosure," Lewis said. "If he (Heard) wants to come in and pick up his offer, he can do that, except he will obligated to pay our attorneys fees from the foreclosure process."
Even if the PEDC forecloses on the property, it won't mean the end of the road for Crall and its 28 employees. Lewis said if the PEDC takes over the land, the board will try to find a way to lease it back to Crall and keep the business open.
"We are interested in keeping the business going and keeping as many jobs as we can," Lewis said.

Vacation All the Time in Westport
Bob Zappi and his wife Catherine weren't looking to build a vacation home. They wanted a home on permanent vacation.
The couple, each of which was raised in Westchester County, has fond memories of traveling to the shores of Cape Cod. So when the opportunity arose to buy an acre of waterfront property overlooking the Long Island Sound in Westport, Conn., they knew exactly what to build.
House of the Day
"We fell in love with the seashore and shingle-style homes of Cape Cod," Mr. Zappi said. "It has a bright, beachy feel to it."
The Zappis, both 47 years old, purchased a little more than an acre of land for $4 million in 2007, according to public records. They tore down a carriage house, and completed their Nantucket-style home covering roughly 9,600 square feet in 2009.
For Ms. Zappi, an abstract painter, the home provided an endless source of inspiration.
"Imagine painting a new sunrise everyday—that's what it's like living here," she said.
In designing the house, the couple wanted to bring the colors and textures of the landscape inside. The front door includes "undulating" mullions "reminiscent of waves," Ms. Zappi said.
Entering the home, the view from the foyer overlooks the Long Island Sound and the mouth of the Saugatuck River. The grand staircase was modeled after lighthouses along the New England coast, and porthole windows can be found throughout the house.
Mr. Zappi, who is the chief executive of a marketing company, said having the beach at home has been a welcome respite. "It evokes the feeling of being on vacation all the time," he said.
With the couple's two sons out of college and moved out, Ms. Zappi has had more time to concentrate on her art. She uses a third-floor room in the home's Cape Cod-style tower overlooking the water as an art studio and meets with clients in a two-room suite in the home.
Ms. Zappi had a large role in the home's design. The walls are painted in tones of sea glass and river rock. Fireplaces have beach pebbles embedded in the mantels. The floors are bleached wood for a casual, indoor-to-outdoor feel. "It keeps the nautical theme without being too literal," Mr. Zappi said, much like some of Ms. Zappi's paintings.
The home also revolves around its views of the water. The kitchen, for instance, has windows overlooking the sound from nearly every angle. The couple installed mirrored surfaces on the refrigerator and freezer, so they can still see the water in the reflection.
The home was first listed for $9.85 million in 2010, said agent Karen Scott, who didn't have the listing at the time. The home was relisted in June for $7.995 million with Ms. Scott and Sheila Keenan of Coldwell Banker Previews. The property is also available for rent at $27,500 a month.
Though they love the home, Ms. Zappi said, she and her husband are looking to "begin the next chapter" and sell to a new family.

Gunfire outside Waterbury bar brings charges
WATERBURY Police say a Waterbury Center man fired a gun into the air Sunday after a confrontation at a bar in downtown Waterbury.
John A. Baran, 42, was at the Prohibition Pig early Sunday when he was told to leave because he was making threatening comments to another customer. Police said Baran left and came back five minutes later and tried to get the other customer to go outside.
One of the workers at the Prohibition Pig went outside to talk to Baran, who then fired a round into the air with a pistol, police said. No one was injured.

The sound that is made when a person of the orient says the words "Thank you." When an English speaking person says the number ten and the letter Q together, they then have made themselves sound like a person of orient saying "thank you."
I really liked the orchids you sent me in the mail. 10Q.
