What is Hercules?
Hercules was created by Roger Bowler, an enthusiastic S/370 fan who envisioned himself, and other computing enthusiasts, exploring and learning mainframe computing techniques at home without spending fortunes for equipment. There are thousands of Hercules' supporters located around the world using, enhancing, and expanding Hercules' capabilities. Their numbers are constantly increasing as more people learn about the existence of Hercules.
My purpose in creating this web site is to share tips, code, job streams, and links to other Hercules web sites with the growing community of Hercules enthusiasts.
What will you find here?
I have collected and organized a diverse amount of information on this site to help those who are just starting out with Hercules and/or one of the operating systems that run under Hercules' emulation. Some of the material is hosted elsewhere and I simply provide a link to the host site. Some material I provide a copy of that is directly downloadable from the server that hosts my web pages, in some cases in a slightly different format from that the original material. However, the most important content of this site is the documentation and tutorials that I have written to help people get up to speed using Hercules and MVS 3.8j on their own systems.
The information in this site is organized into specific topic categories. The links located along the left side of this page may be used to get to the beginning page of a particular topic. Some topics include quite a bit of information and have additional levels of pages accessible from the main page. A brief summary of some of the topics follows.
Installing Hercules
If you have just discovered Hercules, this link to view suggestions and links to get you started with installing Hercules and operating system software on your own computer.
Installing MVS 3.8
These pages have evolved over time, and although the very first version focused mainly on the MVT operating system, my own professional experience began with MVS 3.8. Therefore, the main focus of my site has now become the installation and use of MVS 3.8j. At this link you will find a step-by-step guide to installing MVS 3.8j using the distribution tapes obtained from IBM.
If you need help assembling, compiling, and link-editing your own programs under MVS or MVT, at this link you will find instructions, job streams, and examples of how to prepare source programs in a variety of various programming languages for execution. Since MVS 3.8 only includes the Assembler, you will need to install compilers if you are interested in ALGOL, COBOL, FORTRAN, PL/1, etc. The Compilers for MVS navigation link will take you to a guide to installing these compilers under MVS. You will also find the MVT Sort/Merge program at this link.
RPG Tutorial
In the feedback I received from people who had visited early versions of this site, I was made aware of the fact that there was interest in learning some beginning information about RPG programming. Conceding that there is indeed little information available for the casual inquiring mind (ie, without spending $50 or more on a book that will mostly contain information about RPG II, RPG III or RPG IV), I set out to produce an introductory tutorial to RPG I. This is definitely an introductory tutorial and is limited strictly to the version of RPG that we have available to run under MVT/MVS, but it will get you started if you want to try writing some RPG programs.
CBT Software
There is a wealth of software available for MVT, MVS, and OS/390 on the CBT tape. However, it is frequently necessary to modify some of the programs in order to run properly on the vintage version MVS we have available. Whenever I find something on the CBT tape that is useful to me under MVS 3.8j, I simplify the installation, to a single jobstream if possible, and add it to this page with a brief introduction. Some times I will also add some additional material, such as execution jobstreams and TSO Help text. As a learning experience, you might get the original material from the CBT tape site (I always document exactly which file(s) the material came from) and follow my changes to see what it takes to retrograde some of this software to MVS 3.8j level.
Abend Codes
File #134 of the CBT tape contains a TSO HELP member which documents frequently encountered System (and even a few commonly seen User) Abend Codes. All I have done is to remove the TSO HELP control information yielding plain text, but it could be useful to print out a copy and keep near your system.
OS Utilities
In 2000/2001, while researching some holes in my memory on RPG at a nearby university library, I found a textbook on OS Utilities from 1975. I was able to get these great Utility summary guides from the appendix that I know some of you will be as glad to have available as I am. Over the last few years, I have added information about a couple of new utilities and there are now ten utility programs documented here. Chris Cheney sent along a number of tips about MVT specific information and caught bunches of typographical errors. At the moment, I consider this page is pretty much complete and a PDF version of the information is available for download from the page.
ISAM/VSAM Interface Utility
Another byproduct of my efforts to write the RPG tutorial was this section on the ISAM interface, which allows programs written to access ISAM files to instead process datasets defined in VSAM Key-Sequenced clusters. Even though I maintained programs using the ISAM interface in a production system for several years, it took several hours of dump reading followed by several more hours of research to reacquaint myself with the finer points of this feature. You can read the summary of what I extracted from the available IBM documentation at this link. If you want to access VSAM datasets from COBOL or PL/1 programs (compiled with the MVT compilers), you might want to look at the routines I wrote to let you do that. Instructions for using them and the downloads are at the VSAM for COBOL navigation link.
Make AWSTAPE Utility
I have a lot of source code (COBOL and ALC mostly) on CD-ROM and ZIP cartridge archives that I created on my personal computer. I finally got tired of manipulating these ASCII files to create individual job streams using IEBUPDTE to load them over to source libraries under MVS. So, I wrote a small program that can build AWSTAPE files on MS/PC-DOS, Windows/??, or even OS/2 (the OS I was running when I wrote it). I have also made a version that will run on Linux. I know that some people have even customized the utility (using the supplied source code) to load datasets that have records that are not card image, which was my original design.
IEFACTRT Exits
I have begun adding some IEFACTRT (SMF step/job accounting) exits that I have collected at this link. I keep hoping I will get back to this project, but so far other things have taken priority.
FORTRAN Mini-Reference
This link contains a mini-reference manual for the FORTRAN IV language. Although not as extensive as my RPG tutorial, it will help beginners get started using the FORTRAN compiler from the MVT system. I will try to add more to it in the future.
VSAM for COBOL
I had been frustrated for more than a year because the MVT COBOL compiler wouldn't handle VSAM files. I valiantly tried to make the ISAM Interface Program suffice, but it just didn't cut it for some of the things I wanted to do. So, I wrote an assembler routine that could be called from COBOL that implements almost all of the VSAM file handling available in the later COBOL compilers we don't have access to. Documentation on how to download, install and use the program can be found at this navigation link.
VSAM for PL/I
And as I finally began looking at learning some PL/I, I decided it would be nice to have access to native VSAM from PL/I programs, so I wrote a wrapper routine to call the routine I wrote for COBOL (above) from PL/I programs. The installation and sample PL/I programs can be found at this navigation link.
VSAM Tutorial
I put together a general VSAM overview and what I hope is a thorough coverage of the IDCAMS utility at this link. There are lots of sample job streams that can get you started building a library of jobs to handle lots of common tasks.
Miscellaneous Programs
These are a handful of programs that I have had around for some time. Some are subroutines I wrote that have been migrated from operating system to operating system with me, such as the date routines and field formatting routines. Some of code in the date routines originated back in the late 1970s when I was working on a Burroughs medium system (anyone remember MCPV?).
PTFs (Program Temporary Fixes)
When the bugs were being worked out in order to get MVS 3.8j running under Hercules, an effort was made to collect as many PTFs that might apply to MVS 3.8j as possible. I put this page together to collect all of them that were mentioned on the discussion groups.
MVS FAQ (Frequently Asked Questions)
This is exactly what it says it is. The questions are divided into categories - General MVS, General Hercules, Console Operations, JES2, System Generation, Application/User Tasks. When I receive questions or see questions posted on the discussions that are asked more than once, I put the question and at least one solution here.
IEFU29 (SMF Dataset Switch Exit)
This user exit may be installed under MVS 3.8j to automatically dump and clear SMF datasets when they become filled. Even if you don't want to install the automatic exit, this page includes instructions for setting up a Generation Data Group to hold archived SMF datasets plus the JCL to copy the SMF data from the collection datasets into the Generation datasets and clear the collection datasets when they get full.
IMASPZAP Utility
Instructions and job streams for using the ZAP utility to dump and/or patch load modules.
TSO Tutorial
This is an extensive tutorial on using basic TSO - it includes an overview of the TSO environment and command syntax for most of the commands. At least half of this page is devoted to writing TSO Command Lists. We may not have REXX available for MVS 3.8j (yet!), but there is an awful lot you can do with a CLIST.
VSCOPY and IFOX for MVT
These pages are devoted to helping install a couple of useful additions to MVT.
VSCopy is a version if IEBCOPY that may be used to restore datasets under MVT that were unloaded using the version of IEBCOPY from MVS - the versions of IEBCOPY included with MVT is very limited and is not compatible with the version included with MVS.
IFOX00 is the assembler that is included with MVS and is much more capable than the assembler included with MVT. However, there is nothing that prevents the IFOX assembler from executing under MVT and this page will help you install it - an archive included on the page has everything you need. In addition, this page includes a set if revised assembler procedures that allow you to easily use both versions of assembler on a single system. There is also a detailed comparison of the options effective for each assembler.
Book List
A short list of books I recommend for the serious MVS user.
Even I was having trouble keeping up with what changed on these pages when, so I added this page to annotate the date and what changed whenever I make a change here.
If you are using Hercules and one or more of the operating systems that function under it, you probably should consider joining one of the discussion groups so you can stay current with developments of interest to you. Here are the links to the groups:

Reasons to Visit
Modern and exciting cities make up much of the Japanese landscape, encapsulated by sleek bullet trains, flashing neon lights and dizzying skyscrapers. Scratch the surface to find hidden temples, preserved samurai quarters and local markets.
From delicate sashimi to prime grade steaks washed down with a local beer or a cup of hot sake, every mouthful you try in Japan will certainly be memorable and more often than not, delicious.
A stay in a Japanese ryokan inn is an unbeatable opportunity to experience true Japanese hospitality, including kaiseki cuisine, hot onsen baths and sleeping on a tatami mat.
Although the image of Japan is that of skyscrapers and flashing neon, most of the country is rural, rugged and mountainous, providing excellent walking and hiking in the summer and skiing in the winter.
Kyoto alone has over 1600 Buddhist temples and 400 Shinto shrines paying homage to a number of different deities and gods. Enter the through the large torii gate and contemplate.
From tea ceremonies and flower arrangements to lavish Geisha attended kaiseki banquets, Japanese culture is the most refined and elaborate in the world.

Corpse Bride is a romantic comedy musical by Tim Burton and Danny Elfman, and a Spiritual Sequel to Henry Selick's The Nightmare Before Christmas (of which Burton was the producer). The film mixes German Expressionist elements, stop-motion animation, gothic melodrama and macabre sense of humour, and is based on an old Yiddish folk tale.Victor, the son of some wealthy fishmongers, is entering into an Arranged Marriage with Victoria, a beautiful young woman from a penniless aristocratic family. The couple find that they rather like each other, and everything is going swimmingly... except for the tiny problem of Victor being too nervous to learn his wedding vows. He goes into the forest to practice them but, unintentionally, gives the speech (and engagement ring) to the vivacious and fun-loving Emily, who thinks they are now married.Oh, did we mention Emily is dead?Victor is dragged to the underworld, which ironically heavily contrasts with the drab surroundings of the living by being colourful and vibrant. At first he is desperate to get back home to Victoria, but is soon torn between the life he knew and his life in the underworld. Victor also finds himself drawn towards Emily, whose tragic death may be more entwined with the lives of Victoria and himself than he first thought.The film has many little shout-outs and references to previous works by Tim Burton. Danny Elfman's character, Bonejangles, is a call-back to his time with Oingo Boingo.

I'm an active hunter,and also a farmer. I wear these boots everyday sometimes walking up to 10 miles a day being a sugarmaker in Northern Pa. Unfortunately this is my second pair in 2 months both which leak water in the rear heel seam when submerged in water. I returned the first pair to find that the second pair still leaks. Very disappointing! Good boot on dry ground though

I have never been more satisfied with a pair of hunting boots. These boots are ready for the woods right out of the box ... no break-in period necessary. The minute I put my feet into these boots, I felt like I was walking around in a pair of expensive new running shoes. The fit is perfect and durability is top-notch. After 2 weeks of turkey and mushroom hunting, my feet stayed dry and comfortable the entire time.
The comfort provided by the AeroForm design is superior to any other hunting boot I have ever owned or tried. To say these boots were constructed with comfort in mind would be an understatement. Their level of durability and protection far surpass what I would hope for in an excellent hunting boot. The Armor Weld seal provides an extremely durable, waterproof seam between the neoprene inner-boot and the tough, yet comfortable and flexible, polyurethane exterior. After walking up and down hills all day in these boots, my legs and feet felt great and I was ready for more. This boot definitely redefines the traditional ankle-fit rubber boot category that I am accustomed to.

I used these boots primarily for bow hunting. I wanted a pair of rubber boots and tried all brands and styles. Nothing compared to these as far as comfort. My first time wearing them I was scouting for deer in early Sept. I thought I felt rubbing and was worried about blisters, but that only lasted a few minutes. Now, 3 months later, I look forward to wearing these. I bought the 3.5mm pair, so when the temps bottom out, I wear my 1000gr thinsulate boots. Each time this happens, I'm reminded of how comfortable these boots are.

Five years ago we relased Ctrl+Alt+Del Volume 3: Critical System Failure. And since then, I have not released Volume 4.
Honestly, I have no real excuse. I just keep putting it off, telling myself "I'll work on it later this year" or "I'll do it right after this other project I'm working on" and it just kept getting pushed to the back burner. And then sometime a couple of years ago we sold out of our last copies of Volume 2, and that just made things worse.
Well, I'm happy to finally say that this year I kicked my ass into gear and not only put together a shiny new reprint of Volume 2 with a new cover, but also finally put together the long absent, all-new Ctrl+Alt+Del Volume 4: Working As Intended.
The books each collect roughly 150 comics from the archives, and include commentary on every single page, from both myself and the characters in the strip, detailing various insights and behind-the-scenes stuff concerning the comics.
We'll be opening preorders for the new books on Monday July 9, with the books expected to ship the first week of August. We do preorders on our books because it helps us get a realistic idea of how many we need to have printed, to both cover initial demand and make sure we have some in stock for the foreseeable future. We'll be offering a variety of money-saving bundles and bonuses for early pre-orderers.
The first 1000 preorders receive a free small Zeke plush figure with their order. The first 500 preorders will also receive a limited signed and numbered 8x10 art print of Ethan and Lucas.
Also, in addition to the standard softcover books, we'll be making available a very small run of 250 Limited Edition Hardcover copies of both Volume 2 with the new cover, and Volume 4. These books have 'Limited Edition' on the cover, and come with a signed and numbered certificate. They're really nice.
The prices for the books will be:
Volume 2: Press Start - $19.99
Volume 2: Press Start Limited Hardcover (with signed/numbered certificate) - $29.99
Volume 4: Working As Intended - $19.99
Volume 4: Working As Intended Limited Hardcover (with signed/numbered certificate) - $29.99
Volume 2 and Volume 4 Bundle - $35.99 (10% savings)
Volume 2 Hardcover and Volume 4 Hardcover Bundle - $53.99 (10% savings)
We'll also be offering a 4-pack bundle of all the Ctrl+Alt+Del (softcover) books, Vol 1 through 4, for $64.99 (a 15% savings).
Again, the preorder sale starts Monday at SplitReason.
I'm sorry it took so long to get these out. I know a lot of people have had a Volume 2 shaped hole in their book collection since it's been unavailable, and there's no reason Volume 4 should have taken five years. I've already started on Volume 5 to make sure we can put it out early next year.

Night Photography Basics Part 2 – Full Moon, Star Trails, and Auroras
In Part 1, I discussed the ideal settings for shooting a dark night sky under a new moon, as well as what all those settings mean. If you're not comfortable working in Manual Mode (M) on your camera, you should go back and read it to make sure you're up to speed. This section will assume that you've got the basic understanding of M Mode and how it works.
This time around, I'll be discussing how to alter those settings to account for a full moon, how to capture star trails, and also how to photograph the northern or southern lights, aka the Aurora Borealis or Australis, respectively.Understanding The Histogram
Before moving further, it's important to understand the histogram as displayed within the camera. Put simply, the histogram shows you the light that was captured in a given scene.

Cathedral Rock in Sedona, Arizona
Note: This is a minimally processed photo. I'm on my laptop so the final version may or may not change in terms of processing once I'm back home.
I'm currently in Phoenix, Arizona and I've discovered that it's nearly impossible for me to take photos while in the Phoenix area. I had plenty of places I wanted to explore and go to while here, yet I find catching up with friends and going back to the way of life I had while I was here so much more appealing.
Suspecting this, I made a point to stop in Sedona, Arizona, just an hour or two north, so that I would make sure to enjoy my time there. For sunset, I wanted a great shot of Cathedral Rock, one of the area's primary features.

I Love Mountains
First of all, thank you to Greg Russell of Alpenglow Images for pointing me toward the cause I've been waiting for (among others)!
Shortly after moving out to Phoenix, Arizona in 2004, I got sight of my first strip mine. Even back then, before I was really into photography and before the thought of conserving nature had ever even entered my head, I found it to be a horrendous sight. Entire mountains being completely devoured, forever changing what was once a beautiful desert landscape. Social media was only in its infancy, and as a result, I felt powerless about voicing my opinion on something so incredibly disgusting looking. The friends I voiced my opinions to agreed, but it didn't help us to feel like we had any more power than the mines did.
Fast forward to 2011, where social media has not a become a way of life, but was a crucial aid in helping an entire population of Egypt take their country back!

Sunrise from Yavapai Point at the Grand Canyon South Rim
One thing to remember when shooting a dramatic sunrise or sunset is to look all around you, including the exact opposite direction. Most people are so fascinated by the sun rising or setting over the horizon that they could be missing the best part of the show taking place right behind them. Such was the case while I was watching sunrise at Yavapai Point at Grand Canyon National Park's South Rim in northern Arizona. I captured a couple of quick shots of the sun itself once the it was immediately above the horizon and then went against the masses to an overlook roughly 30 yards or so west and was all alone in catching this dramatic scene, leaving behind dozens of people staring into the sun that had already come up.

Sunrise at the Grand Canyon South Rim
After getting a bit of a late start from Phoenix, I realized that despite visiting the Grand Canyon over a dozen times, I somehow don't have many good shots from there. Since it's only a four hour drive from there, I decided to make that my first destination on my way back to Jackson Hole with the specific intent to get some sunset, sunrise and even a few night shots. Sunset left a little to be desired and I'm still debating the moonlit shots, however sunrise definitely didn't disappoint and was a great show! The canyon walls lit up nicely shortly after the sun came up and watching them glow in the sunlight was especially nice to see.

Barrel Cactus on Camelback Mountain
I've been preoccupied with a number of things lately so I have to go into the archives again. This shot is from one of my favorite, if not the, favorite hikes of mine in the Phoenix, Arizona area: The Echo Canyon Trail of Camelback Mountain. I hiked this as much as I could while living down there for a few reasons: 1) it's a great workout; 2) it's an incredibly beautiful hike for being in the middle of Phoenix; and 3) there was always plenty of options for great photography. I almost always had my camera with me on that hike and whether it was a dramatic sunset or a barrel cactus along the trail, such as this one, I always loved (and still do love) going back to Camelback Mountain.

Hi everyone,
it's been a really hot summer in New York city, one of those insanely humid, temperature arrived to over 100 F (37 C) and humidity to over 70%, but this won't stop us from coding, and going to the beach on the weekend, right?
I wanted to give you an heads up on the Rain Projects, since the last news was in January. I've officially stop to maintain RainTPL 2, so no more improvements but you can still post issues on the github-issue page. RainTPL 3 is improving a lot, getting more stable and complete, and that's thanks to the community (all of you). Our next goal with RainTPL 3 will be to write more unit test to make it bullet proof.
As you may noticed on my github page there a few new repos such as UserAgent, RainDB and RainForm, they all be part of the new Rain Framework 3, please follow them your stars are a good reason to bring this project ahead.
As latest (nice) news, I removed those annoying Google Ads from this site, considering the number of visitors (thanks!), ads they were a good way to found the RainProject but without them the website looks clear and so it is nicer to navigate.
As many of you have suggested to me, I'm adding a less invasive donate button into the credit page

Buzz Aldrin saw a UFO on his way to the moon during the Apollo 11 mission. Does that mean there?s life on Mars? There are two rovers on Mars right now, but neither one has been designed to look for signs of life. But some groups don't WANT future Mars missions to search for life, because they think that any bacteria that is found there and returned to earth, for example on rocks found on Mars, will be a hazard to life here.
In New Scientist, David Shiga quotes NASA scientist John Rummel as saying that any living Martian microbes could "cause unknown difficulties" to life on earth.
In 1996, some astronomers decided that the ALH84001 meteorite from Mars contained evidence of past life on that planet. NASA and SETI have made an agreement that in future missions, any signs of life on Mars should be reported publicly, and not kept under wraps as has been done in the past.

Quakers look to build upon experience
WC opens season at Mt. St. Joseph
July 17, 2012
Kyle Blakeman (at left) and the Quakers open the 2012 season Sept. 1 at Mount St. Joseph.
Wilmington head coach Ken Minor is counting on last year's growing pains leading to positive results in 2012.
"We had 17 senior starters in 2010, so we knew we were going to play a lot of young people last season. At one time, we had 13 freshmen that were starting. That may have not been good for last year, but we have a lot of returning experience this season," Minor said.
First-year offensive coordinator Jay Niswonger has brought the run-and-shoot offense to Quakerland, with the primary theme centered around putting the ball in players' hands where they can be most dangerous.
"We felt real good about how our offense picked up coach Niswonger's run-and-shoot offense in spring ball. We feel that we should be much better this year," Minor said.
Junior Brandon Arehart returns to lead the Quakers' offense for the third straight season. Arehart has thrown his way into the WC all-time top-10 list for passing yards and touchdown passes. He also has proven to be rugged and durable.
"Brandon has not only never missed a play in games, but he has never missed a practice," Minor said. "He takes a licking, but he just keeps on working. His work ethic makes him a great role model for the rest of the team."
Junior Brandon Minor and a group of newcomers will provide backup for Arehart.
Senior Tyrell Richardson (shown at right) will be a key go-to player out of the backfield and from the slot. The slashing tailback led Wilmington in rushing yardage the past two seasons and pulled down career-high 14 receptions in 2011.
"Tyrell will be utilized more than he has been the last three seasons. If we can get him the ball in space, he will be somebody that every defense will have to contend with. That should also help us get the ball to other people," Minor said.
Also back is sophomore Ryan Smith, who played well in limited time last season and had a strong spring campaign.
Juniors Kyle Blakeman and Kyle Akers are back after combining for 51 catches and seven touchdowns a year ago.
"Kyle Blakeman was among the conference leaders in all the categories when he was injured last season. We expect him to have an outstanding year. Kyle Akers came out of nowhere. He goes full tilt all the time and wants to be successful," Minor said.
Sophomore tight end Matt Stooksbury is a solid blocker and receiver who has the ability to get downfield.
Senior tackle Andrew Fisher will anchor an offensive line that received experience under fire last season.
"We played a lot of freshmen on the offensive line. We are really depending on Andrew to set a good example for all these guys. We also have guards Scott Duncan and Tyler DeVore, tackle Brandon Krugh and center Jeremy Welch coming back," Minor said.
Wilmington's defense will again be focused on flying to the ball and making plays. Some familiar faces will be seen in new places.
"We're still trying to find a few positions for people. We have moved some people to new positions, and we think those changes will benefit our overall defensive performance," Minor said.
Junior nose guard Donnie Ary will be at the heart of Wilmington's 3-4 defense. Ary earned All-OAC honors in 2011 despite being the target of non-stop double-team blocking schemes.
"Donnie just takes away so much of the potential blocking on our linebackers. He is very quick. If they don't double team him, he will be on top of the running back or quarterback in no time," Minor said.
Down linemen Gabe Smith and Aaron Day are back after strong 2011 seasons.
A talented group of linebackers will be looked upon to lead Wilmington's defense. Junior Matt McFadden (shown at left) and senior Ben Dunahue had more than 130 combined stops last season. Added to the linebacker corps this year is sophomore Devon Burton, who had 74 tackles from his safety position in 2011.
"Devon was so good in coming up to make tackles, and we want to get him closer to the action," Minor said. "Matt is our top returning tackler. He was so impressive what how he played and how he approached the game. Ben is such a hard worker. He handles himself so well. He should have a great senior year."
Senior LaVonte' Darby brings speed and experience to his cornerback position. On the other side will be Joe Joe Knecht. Safeties Jamar Roberts and Trevor Hooker will provide both deep coverage and support against opposing running games.
"We've got those four, and we feel good about that. The key for us, though, will be if we can get some depth behind them. The way everybody throws in our league, you need at least six or seven solid defensive backs," Minor said.
Senior Max Gabbard will handle the placekicking duties while Arehart will likely be punting the ball away. Austin Kleinhans will be vying for long-kicking responsibilities.
"We feel good about our kicking game. As always, we will try to put good athletes on the field for kick returns and coverage," Minor said.
Wilmington opens the season at Mount St. Joseph on Sept. 1. Following a bye week, the Quakers will begin the arduous nine-game OAC schedule at home versus Otterbein on Sept. 15.
"This is as tough a conference as you will find in Division III football," Minor said. "We need to improve physically and mentally. We have played some close games against great teams. The difference between winning and losing those games was confidence, or lack of it. We need to find that confidence and build on it."

|Hello everybody. I need some advice please.
We have an old house (was build in 50's). Moved here 3 years ago and got a new roof when we moved.
During the hurricane Irene back in August we got a leak in our living room ceiling, right under the second floor dormer.
I called company that did the roof (it's under life time warranty) and they came out to take a look. Said that roof is perfectly fine and they thought the leak was coming from somewhere around the dormer. There were some areas where the old siding on the dormer near the roof was sort of torn off or bend and there were also spots where siding was not flush to the roof as it was for 3 years.
I asked the roof company if they would take a look at it and fix it and they said that the job is too small for them and that I need to fine a small contractor (handyman type) and have it done.
We then called our homeowner's insurance, they came out to take a look, assessed the damage and estimated that it would cost $1,500 to fix. That included fixing and painting ceiling in the living room and fixing the siding (according to insurance we just need to have old siding taken off and reattached properly). Insurance wrote us a check (less our deductible) and that was that.
I found a small contractor to do the job. He did a very minor thing for me before so I called him to came to take a look and give me an estimate. He came over and this was the result - he estimated $850 for the following (I copied this from the email he send me with his estimate)
1. To remove old siding on dormer and replace with new Vinyl siding
He then came over with his helper and they did the work. Items 1, 4, 5, 6, and 7 I can tell were done as it is all visual. I did not monitor them while they were working and cannot say for sure if 2 and 3 were done at all.
Not a month later we got a new leak in the ceiling in the same spot and now there is also a small crack on the adjoining wall (the leak is about 1.5 feet from the outer front wall of the house. The crack is right above the big picture window in the living room.
We tried calling this contractor back and he wasn't returning out calls. Today I finally got a hold of him and surprise surprise he's in another state with sick mother and has no idea when he'll be back.
Meanwhile he said that I wanted a quick fix and that's what I got and that I now need to have huge project done to take everything apart to find the leak. When I asked him if he sealed everything under the new siding he said everything there looked fine and that he couldn't see any leaks and that because we have multiple layers of siding up there on the dormer he just replaced to top siding with new one. The conversation ended by him basically hanging up on me.
He never told me before that there was another siding under the top layer, thought it doesn't surprise me as the house is old and so far we found multiple layers of a lot of things (3 layers of carper on stairs, two layers of tile on bathroom floor, 2-4 layers of wallpaper in various rooms, and two layers of siding on one part of the front of the house). So multiple layers of siding on the dormer is not out of the question.
What do I do now? I realize that I need to call a new contractor. But what does he need to do? Do I have them take the whole front of my house apart? Do they need to just use some sort of water proof sealant around the dormer?
We are absolutely stretched with money. To fix this we will actually need to dip into money put away for kids college. How do I do this with minimal costs and not get taken for a ride again?
And also, what should I do, if anything, with the first contractor? Or do I just choke it up to lesson learned?
Thank you all in advance.
Follow-Up Postings:
|The roofer screwed up, He needs to fix it.
|Any suggestion on how to get him to actually show up and fix it? Right now he's avoiding my calls, hangs up on me, and claims to be in a different state with his sick mother.
|"homeowner's insurance...estimated that it would cost $1,500 to fix. Insurance wrote us a check..."
"I found a small contractor to do the job...(for) $850..."
"Any suggestion on how to get him to actually show up and fix it?"
How about paying for the damages your claim paid out to you, as a loss from the insurance policy? The $1,500 is what you should have paid for the repairs. Then you could complain about something.
You got what you paid for.
Why not call up your insurance and file another claim? Show them the receipts for the work performed under the last claim and see how they take it. Maybe they'll follow up on that screwball contractor with a sick mother out of state.
Between him and his helper, less materials and supplies they scammed at least a HUNDRED DOLLARS EACH of you, you poor helpless victim.
Or maybe they'll raise your rates... or cancel your policy.

VIDEO: Caravel's Gumbs - WDEL Female HS Athlete of the Week
Caravel basketball's Olivia Gumbs is this week's WDEL Female High School Athlete of the Week.
The Buccaneers' freshman has basketball in her DNA, her brother Erique currently starts for Towson, and Olivia says he keeps in touch with her.
"We talk a lot. We talk usually at night when he's free. He tells me because he went through it that we'll be okay. We're going to have some good years, and there's a lot to expect and it will be great.
I asked Olivia to give us a scoring a self-scouting report.
"Aggressive, definitely. She's going to be all over the place grabbing rebounds, that's what she likes to do."
Caravel's success is due in part to coach Kristen Mills-Caldwell, the school and state scoring leader, and Olivia says her experience is rubbing off on her team.
"She pushes us a lot. She knows a lot of the things we're going through and how we feel about certain situations so she can relate to us."
As for athletic role models, Olivia looks at both a NBA and a WNBA player.
"Dwight Howard, I love the way he plays defense and he's very aggressive when it comes to rebounding. Lisa Leslie was very diverse in her playing, she wasn't one-dimensional."

Every time a web site is established, the domain name and also the web hosting are the only two principal matters that must be dealt with. To get the website is not difficult, it is the web hosting that carries a larger difficulty. Right now, every time a PC ought to be designed to operate as the server, it requires to hold the server software program operating, that deliver the web content to the visitors utilizing methodologies like Hypertext Transfer Protocol within the Internet. A lot of these software applications essentially operate just like running a personal PC that process the requests constantly and work as the hosting server. There are numerous application options to function the hosts for instance IIS, Jakarta Tomcat and many others, which could simulate a server.
Considering that not all of they are supported on all different programs. By far the most widely recognized host possibility, which run on both Unix and Windows, is the Jakarta Tomcat software package choice. Tomcat is basically a web hosting element, firstly written by Sun and subsequently contributed to Apache Software Foundation. The beauty of Tomcat would be that it easily combines with either Apache httpd and Internet Information Services server, making it system distinct.
Let us start by understanding what incisively is known as a servlet and where exactly does Tomcat fit. To start out right at the start, there are only two different kinds of web-sites, static and dynamic. Static webpages are the ones that happen to be only html pages. These are restricted when it comes to functionality. A certain amount of dynamism that can be added to these kinds of static webpages is via development languages just like Javascript. All these even so, are constricted throughout their features. Dynamic website are they which are more brilliant.
Tomcat is the ecosystem at which these Servlets can run. Tomcat is hence the place where the coding logic of the dynamic website exists and runs. Using Tomcat the software engineers should be able to target primarily at the program code and end up forgetting about management overheads. Tomcat offers a loaded API, that the administrators use throughout the development of the program.
Tomcat is surely an free system and is also freely which is available from the Apache webpage. The setup is absolutely hassle-free also it demands a Java Development Kit installation. The set up is a little bit varied on MS windows and UNIX.
In today's era, hosting just a web site at a server could possibly be considered as a complete waste of resources. In consequence, there is a fresh idea labeled virtual hosting. Virtual website hosting is actually a way through which many internet addresses may be managed on one server by having a just one IP and so happens to be cheaper through the impression of utilization of sources. Tomcat permits shared site hosting in a really classy way.
Basically, Tomcat is amongst the most in-demand and strongly recommended services. In case you are interested in acquire a web hosting service, investigate if they have a Tomcat website hosting solution.
Go to see my web site regarding Tomcat hosting suppliers that allows you to learn everything about those packages which are obtainable these days. I am working as an administrator with Linux systems. I like visiting friends and discussing with reference to cats and dogs. I really like espresso.

Tracy Morgan's mouth frequently gets him into trouble -- and now he's hoping it can get him out. The 30 Rock star drew the ire of the media, the gay and lesbian community, and pretty much everyone else when he unleashed a vicious anti-gay tirade during a stand-up comedy act at Ryman Auditorium in Nashville, Tenn., last Friday -- reportedly going so far as to say that if his son were gay he'd "pull out a knife and stab that little n**ger to death." Whoa! Now, however, Morgan has come forward to say he's sorry.
"I want to apologize to my fans and the gay & lesbian community for my choice of words at my recent stand-up act in Nashville," Morgan said in a statement. "I'm not a hateful person and don't condone any kind of violence against others," Morgan said in a statement. "While I am an equal opportunity jokester, and my friends know what is in my heart, even in a comedy club this clearly went too far and was not funny in any context."
Reports of the tirade began to circulate when Kevin Rogers -- a gay man in attendance at last Friday's Ryman show -- took to his Facebook page to condemn the comic in a post titled "WHY I NO LONGER 'LIKE' TRACY MORGAN." According to Rogers, Morgan went off on homosexuals in a big way, saying, "Gays need to quit being p**sies and not be whining about something as insignificant as bullying."
Bullying of LGBT teens has obviously been in the news all year, due to the spate of teen suicides resulting from vicious bullying (something that clearly can't be called "insignificant"). Columnist Dan Savage started the It Gets Better project as a response to the bullying, and as a way to get the message out to troubled teens that "it gets better." Personal videos poured in, and are still pouring in, and the issue of bullying (not just of LGBT teens, but of all teens) took center stage. Tracey Morgan obviously has a big problem with that.
This is not the first time Morgan has been accused of homophobia. In comedy shows in the past, he has referred to being gay as a "choice," and he reiterated that thought in Nashville. According to Rogers' Facebook post, Morgan said that "(Lady Gaga's) 'Born this Way' is bulls**t, gay is a choice, and the reason he knows this is exactly because 'God don't make no mistakes' (referring to God not making someone gay cause that would be a mistake)."
Following the show, a spokesperson for the Ryman Auditorium released a statement saying, "The Ryman Auditorium regrets that people were offended by statements made by Tracy Morgan during his June 3 appearance. The Ryman does not control the content presented by people appearing on its stage, nor does it endorse any of the views of, or statements made by, such persons."
Morgan himself seemed to anticipate that his words would have repercussions, so he went ahead and lashed out at his critics during the show. "I don't "f***ing care if I piss off some gays, because if they can take a f***ing d**k up their ass... they can take a f***ing joke," he said. The nuanced fact that some gays are actually women appears to be lost on Mr. Morgan.
In light of the reports, GLAAD released a statement today asking Morgan's reps to "investigate these allegations and should they prove true, we call on him to remove these violently anti-gay remarks from his show and send a strong message that anti-gay violence is not something to joke about." A couple of hours later and -- voila! -- Morgan said he was sorry. Let's just hope he truly means it.

Consumer prices in Southern California were unchanged in October from September thanks to a slight drop in gasoline prices, the U.S. Bureau Labor Statistics reported today. Residents, however, were paying 2.8% more overall for goods and services compared to a year ago.
Nationwide, the Consumer Price Index fell 0.1% in October but was up 3.5% over the last 12 months.
The BLS said consumers nationwide benefited from the first decline in energy prices in three months. The price of new vehicles, used cars, trucks, airline fares and recreation also declined.
Residents in the Orange County-Los Angeles-Riverside area got a little break on energy while the year-long jump in food prices moderated.
Overall, local transportation costs declined 0.5% in October but were up 8.9% year over year. A 1.8% decline in gasoline prices last month helped keep transportation costs down.
The picture over the last year, however, isn't so good with unleaded regular gasoline prices 25.1% higher.
Local gasoline prices have continued to edge down since October. The price of a gallon of unleaded regular in Orange County is $3.804 today compared to $3.841 a month ago, according to the AAA Daily Fuel Gauge Report. But a year ago, motorists were paying 66 cents less a gallon.
The little savings local residents saw at the gas pump was offset by an increase in household fuels and utilities prices which jumped 2.4% last month and are up 0.5% year over year.
Food and beverage prices edged up 0.1% in October, a big relief after the 0.9% increase in August and 0.4% in September. However, shoppers were still paying 4% more for groceries in October than a year ago.
Here are other year-over-year changes in local consumer prices:

Reigning Major League Soccer champions Los Angeles Galaxy are keen to land Frank Lampard once his contract expires in the summer, according to the Daily Mirror.
Chelsea's lack of offering their legendary midfielder a new deal to stay at Stamford Bridge could cost them, with the Galaxy keen to offer him a hefty wage package, plus have the right to play on loan for a European club during the American off-season.
The 34-year-old has been warned by England manager Roy Hodgson that if he decides to join the likes of Landon Donovan and Robbie Keane in LA, his international prospects will be damaged.
Galaxy's deal would also include a rent-free home in the Beverly Hills region and free flights between the US and the UK.
He is due to marry the ITV entertainment presenter Christine Bleakley later on this year.
Lampard took his season's tally to 13 strikes, and made it 199 Chelsea career goals in their 4-0 victory over Brentford in the FA Cup fourth round replay on Sunday lunchtime.

The annual Montana Shakespeare in the Schools fundraiser is called The Elise Event as a tribute to patron Elise Donohue. It begins with beverages followed by a production of the classic comedy, "Twelfth Night." Following the performance, the audience will meet artistic director Joel Jahnke as well as the Shakespeare in the Schools actors and designers at a behind-the-scenes discussion and catered wine reception.
The production of "Twelfth Night," which was directed by Jahnke from the character Malvolio's point of view, "shows the audience how teasing and 'harmless' jokes can often feel quite differently to those that are the brunt of those jokes." This theme will carry over onto the workshops and discussion sessions which follow the performances, Jahnke said.
Jahnke said because of Donohue's underwriting of the event, 100 percent of the proceeds of the night will go to the Shakespeare in the Schools outreach program. Although each school that the troupe visits pays a sponsorship fee, it represents only one-fourth of the actual costs of bringing the program to each school, he said. The balance is made up through other sources, mostly individual donations.
"The Elise Event is an important component of that funding formula," Jahnke said.
Montana Shakespeare in the Schools, a nationally recognized outreach program of Montana Shakespeare in the Parks, is currently in its 18th season. The 50-school tour began Oct. 8 and will run through Dec. 1, primarily in rural communities in Montana and northern Wyoming. During that time, the eight-member company of professional actors will perform for more than 12,000 students, teachers and community members and teach workshops to nearly 4,000 students.
Tickets for The Elise Event are $25, which includes the play and reception. They are available at First Interstate Bank in the Strand Union, Borders, Cactus Records or by calling the Montana Shakespeare in the Parks office at 994-3901. Seating is limited so advanced reservations are highly recommended.
The Black Box Theater is located in the Visual Communications Building, located at the corner of 11th and Grant in Bozeman.

Lake Shore begins 2013-14 budget discussions
BY: Steven Brachmann | January 17, 2013
The Lake Shore Central School District Board of Education began early discussions on the district's 2013-14 budget, and early comments indicated that Lake Shore Central is facing an intimidating budget gap.
Superintendent James Przepasniak painted a pretty clear picture at the start of the board's discussion, stating that the district faces a $2.5 million gap between anticipated expenses and revenues for the 2013-14 year.
"The district, in my opinion, does not have a spending problem," said Przepasniak, noting that the problems do not stem from expansions, initiatives or other expenditures, but rather a reduction in the amount of state aid Lake Shore can rely on.
According to the superintendent, Lake Shore Central has lost approximately $11 million in state aid over the previous three years. The district has previously used general fund balance allocations to close gaps that had developed, but Przepasniak cautioned the board against relying too heavily on that option.
"We've used those savings for a rainy day, and now it's pouring," he said.
State assurances that refunds would be administered for district fund balance allocations used to bridge budget gaps have not been realized, he added.
A lack of state aid exists due in large part to changes in the gap elimination formula for state educational aid, which is supposed to create equal and appropriate funding levels for all state school districts. Lake Shore Central Schools have received less aid than promised since this program has existed. The district was also handed a bill by the state for $1.4 million to be paid into the state teachers' pension plan.
"We would only be talking about a $1.1 million gap without that," said board member Richard Vogan. "Most of our financial problems are in Albany, not here."
Tax increases and line-item budget cuts won't solve the problem alone. A one percent tax increase would only raise an additional $150,000, given the current tax rates. This would require a tax increase of 15 percent to close the gap, which the board can't nor wants to pursue. Cutting into individual expenditures will likely prove as futile. Although the board could cut monies from programs, there are no simple budgetary items that could be trimmed down without cutting vital services. The $12,000 budgeted for the district's field trips and the $20,000 budgeted for conferences were used as hypothetical examples. Lake Shore Central Schools already spends about $1,600 less per student in their budget than the state average, according to Przepasniak.
"We have been fiscally responsible," said Przepasniak, noting that recent school audits from state officials were very positive.
He noted that the board took a big step in the right direction by approving a retirement incentive resolution, which can reduce expenditures by enticing higher paid teachers to leave their positions. "But the day has now come where we have to ask people to understand our dilemma."
Board member Cynthia Latimore was adamant that a dialogue with the community, including all town residents, was necessary in order to address this issue moving forward. In order to avoid either significant tax increases or significant program cuts, "we need to rally everyone," she said. "Nothing will leave this room if we don't take it out with us."
The board hopes that by their next work session on Feb. 5 that they'll have more information on possible retirements as well as the governor's proposed state budget, which informs the district's knowledge of how much state aid they can expect to receive.

I am a graduate student who will start my study at WKU this fall. I want to find a house near WKU, since I don't have a car. My request is: Any floor plan is applicable to me, as long as I can have my own bedroom. And I hope the rate is around $400 per month. Hope to get your kind help.
Link to this answergoBigRed2+ weeks old
Hi there! Your best bet to stay on your budget is to find a roommate or several roommates.
There are some apartments around $400/month, and most popular, is a complex called The Registry. MANY WKU students live at The Registry, since it's so affordable and is within walking distance of campus. Units are furnished, cable is free, every unit has a washer/dryer, and the gym is open 24/7. I definitely recommend calling ASAP to reserve a room since the semester is coming up fast and you don't want to be left homeless! Their number is (877) 635-0388. They have 2 and 4 bedrooms.
The Columns are another apartment complex within walking distance of WKU, and another popular choice for students. They are 1-3 bedroom with utilities included and free Wi-Fi. Their number is (877) 317-8790. Again, since these apartments are so close to campus, you'll want to make plans ASAP to make sure you have time to find a room.
The Olde Towne Apartments (877-685-0248) and Westwood (270-782-8282) are some other nearby options, though not as close as The Registry and The Columns, which are my recommendations.
I recommend using either Craigslist or a Facebook page/group for your class or college to find a roommate quickly. Remember to act quickly!

Granular synthesis creates a unique type of distortion caused by discontinuities between individual grains in the outgoing signal. Sometimes this distortion creates an effect I can only describe as a "ripping" sound, other times it introduces new frequencies into the audio that were not present before. Here is an example by Aphex Twin, the granular synthesis is especially prominent in the bridge at around 3min in. Another example of granular synthesis, this time applied to vocals for pitch shifting and textural effects, is from Paul Lansky. My favorite thing to do with this effects box is to use subtle pitch shifting to achieve an androgynous vocal sound, I got the idea for the project after listening to copious amounts of Fever Ray this past winter, you can hear how she pitch shifts her voice to sound somewhat masculine at times.

Hey Amanda...I tried building this but the output isnt coming. I dont know for what reason but the input is being recognised. Can you help me with this?
Hi Amanda, the audio potentiometer with control switch isn't available in radioshack and I can't find anywhere to buy it. May I know the replacement for it, or can I use regular potentiometer as the replacement?
that's a bummer:
or you can just use a regular pot and a switch.
thanks for the reply. right now, I have 1M logarithmic potentiometer with switch. will this potentiometer works with this project since the one you used is the regular without switch?
do you know would it be ok to plug an external instrument ie. a drum machine or synthesizer into the input of the box? or would that cause some issues with power?
that would work
What can I do if TS922IN and TS924 have not available in my country?
What is the possible trouble if i try to use another kind of Op Amp?
Cheers !
Thanks for the reply amanda!
This is an interesting project. Would love to try it out as a toy for my niece! Do you have any idea is there another model of arduino's with higher processing power and with the similar schematic?
May i check where do you store the recorded file being processed ? In the temporary storage in the arduino board itself?
Is there any way that i could store the recorded files in a SD/MMC?
Cheers !
I see. Yeah I was actually quite surprised at the relatively high samplerate you managed to achieve! I though the atmega328 was way to slow/simple to handle that. Have you considered using a audio codec (external ADC and DAC) (http://uk.rs-online.com/web/c/?sra=oss&r=t&searchTerm=audio+codec&x=-608&y=-21) for both input and output? I don't think there is very much point in increasing the fidelity after the processing when the audio is compressed to 8-bit fidelity when 'entering' the Arduino.
This could also be something to look into: http://soniccrayon.blogspot.no/2012/08/anti-nautilus-or-autoglitch.html (the schematic, first image below the youtube video)
you can see in this project how there's a +V, -V, an 0V supply. Connect the 0V supply to Arduino ground.
your dac setup should be similar, let me know if you still can't get it up and running, I can take a look at the data sheet.
I had this hooked up and was messing around with sound on my PC speakers and was wondering if this voice stream could get sent to my PC via ethernet. Say using the ethernet shield connected to the arduino being used?
so you will need keep those pins free. If you keep the clipping indicator, you will need to move it to another digital pin (like pin 9)
Check out this piece of code:
you should try to send your serial data via ethernet inside the interrupt routine. Hopefully the Ethernet Shield is fast enough to send data at 38.5kHz, I'm not sure.
code with clipping indicator is at the bottom of this page:
change all the 13's to 9's
I'm working on a project and wondering if this can also work with voice input, via an electret (specifically using this one: http://www.sparkfun.com/products/9964) ?
Thanks for your assistance!
Let me know what you make! and definitely let me know if you have questions!
I connected up the DAC as per your instructions. However, using the sketch in step 27, I don't get any sound through to my headphones (zero output). I find this odd as my serial monitor is giving me an endless stream of symbols (input from electret).
Please help, I have no idea what I could be doing wrong, may have missed something.
Oh, for now I'm just working on inputting voice, through a mic and out through headphones, manipulating it with arduino. This seems pointless at the moment but it will be implemented into a larger project with arduino at it's core. Will keep you updated as I go along.
Thanks again for your help :)
