Specifications, Pricing and Availability
RunCore is making the Pro V Plus in four capacity sizes; 60GB, 120GB, 240GB and a massive 480GB model for those with more loot to spend on an SSD than I do. The generic rating for the Pro V Plus Series is 280MB/s read and 270MB/s write, but we expect the smallest 60GB performance to vary a bit from the stated claims.
These 25nm models should use less power than the older Pro V Series that use 32nm IMFT flash, but they also have a lower P/E cycle which means they will not live as long, but users should expect to have a drive that works optimally for several years. RunCore's warranty on these drives is 2 years, so they will cover their drives for at least that amount of time.
Normally we'd go shopping for RunCore products at RunCoreStore.com, but at this time the Pro V Plus isn't listed for sale there. MyDigitalDiscount.com doesn't list the Pro V Plus either, so at this time you really can't buy the drive unless you have some kind of inside line that I don't.
Instead of speculating on the real world performance of the new 25nm drive, let's just get right to it and see what she can do.

Grinding gears By Adam on 1/16/2015
Adam would recommend this product to a friendOK so there are pro's and con's to these pumps. The do exactly what they are supposed to do, the water level in my tank is very stable. The only issue I have had is the first one I owned the gears stripped out in it. If it was not for BRS's awesome customer service I would be stuck with a $90 plastic block.
The second one has been running for a couple of weeks now and so far so good. If the gears are plastic then perhaps BRS should re-engineer these to have metal gears.
All in all though this is a good product and worth the money. -
1 a year? By Jason on 12/12/2014
Jason wouldn't recommend this product to a friendHave my 2nd one of these just die on me again. Both lasted maybe a year. Gears are stripped. -
Another failed pump By Kris on 11/15/2014
Kris wouldn't recommend this product to a friendUsed this pump for top off water in my ATO setup. Lasted 13 months, almost to the day. Like many other, the plastic gears in the drive stripped out. The way I have my ATO set up, this pump could run a maximum of 2 hours a day, and only for 10 minutes at a time every two hours. $90 for 1 year to operate under those conditions is pretty bad IMO.
When it was working, it could be quite noisy as well. That's not to say it always was, because every time it kicked on it was a surprise what kind of noise it would make. There were a few times where it was pretty quiet, though I stress few.
Gave it 2 stars instead of 1 because at least it made it a year. Sadly these days that seems to be an accomplishment for products.
Works good when it works.. By Mark on 8/18/2014
Mark wouldn't recommend this product to a friendI bought two of these pumps for a future build I had coming up. After buying the new house, I started the build and installed these pumps Fed 2014. Used them for ATO since my RODI was in the basement. They worked great for that purpose. Now, one has already gone out. The gears stripped in it and the head no longer turns. So its only August 2014 and I didn't even get a year out of them but since I bought them over a year ago, Im past warranty. Warranty is not the issue, but paying 80 for a pump and only getting that long out of it when its only on maybe twice a day for 10 min at a time is not good. So I guess Im going to have to go a different way. The pump works good, never had an issue, its just the time you get out of it.. And after reading the reviews, Im not the only one with this problem.. So seems to be BRS might want to figure out what is up with the gears stripping out and fix it.. Just hope my second one on my other tank lasts long enough for me to come up with a better system.. -
Great for top offs By Brent on 8/16/2014
Brent would recommend this product to a friendI bought this to suck from a 5 gallon RO/DI top off container and connected it to a timer to come on an intervals throughout the day. I have a HOT skimmer that requires a nearly constant water level to operate effectively, and this top off doser does that perfectly. I am very happy with this product. Please do be aware, though, that as the description stated, if you mount this inside of a cabinet (like I did), you can hear it when it is running. -
Works great! By Brooks on 6/30/2014
Brooks would recommend this product to a friendGot product installed mounted without any issues. A bit slower than I expected but does the job flawlessly. Have it hooked up through a Apex IO Breakout box. -
Great ATO pump By Moni on 6/26/2014
Moni would recommend this product to a friendThis pump has been a great ATO solution for me - the lack of siphon and ability to raise a good head let me put my reservoir in a closet, well away from my display tank. The previous aqua lifting pump I had used couldn't even get water raised from the floor into the tank, so I had to leave my ATO jug on a shelf or chair to give it a head start.
I've been using this for a month now with no problems. -
Overall good so far By Justin on 4/29/2014
Justin would recommend this product to a friendI bought the 50ml top off pump and won a pair of 1.1ml dosers so I am using all three for a couple months now. No complaints yet, a little noise but running in the basement offers no issues for me. I hope to get more than a year out of these otherwise I would have to agree with the others above. Limited lifetime doesn't sound too appealing but I like them so far. -
don't buy. By mike d nyc on 3/19/2014
mike d nyc wouldn't recommend this product to a friendi bought this pump to push RO/DI from my reservoir through a kalk-stirrer. a peristaltic pump with a regular rate connected to a controller seems like a safer choice than relying on a variable rate of evaporation dictating when and how much kalkwasser is introduced into my system which would have been the scenario if i just piggybacked the kalk-stirrer onto my level-sensing ato. the reasonable price and italian-origin of the pump made it easy to pull the trigger. and since many people might be considering this setup, i'll offer my experience as a warning:
from the very beginning, the pump immediately made a moderate grinding noise when activated. within days, the noise had intensified some. i contacted BRS to ask if this was normal for this unit. the BRS rep asked if i'd been running the pump for extended periods of time... which i had not. he explained that this pump was meant to run for "30-40 minutes" at a clip. i'd never exceeded this runtime but after hearing this, i took note that the pump housing got very warm after a few minutes of use. the grinding noise continued to get worse and increased to the point where it was clearly audible over the other ambient sounds of my reef despite being buried inside a stand made of 3/4" plywood and lined with sound absorbing foam sheets. and so i arranged to exchange the pump for an identical replacement.
the replacement pump makes a very loud "clunk" sound whenever it activates, but does not have the grinding sound of its predecessor. the clunk, however, is sufficient to cause featherdusters and coco worms to retract, startle my fish, and annoy my wife. also, it being unadvisable to run this pump for more than 30-40 minutes without a cooldown period made it insufficient for my needs.
unfortunately, BRS says i'm past the 30-day return window and so i'm not eligible for a refund. i won't editorialize further except to say that despite being out $90, i'm going to throw this pump in the trash rather than risk using a product that doesn't do the job i require of it, and that i don't trust at all.
i'm always optimistic when a manufacturer resists the urge to bang out junk in a chinese sweatshop - and i'm happy to pay more for a better product made by skilled workers earning a fair wage - but this pump and its replacement were completely useless. -
Awesome so fa By Reefercraze83 on 3/12/2014
Reefercraze83 would recommend this product to a friendThis pump is working great so far. Minimal noise from gears. Much better than I was expecting from reading reviews prior to purchase. I use it as top off so it's precision does not need to be exact. But I love not having to top off by hand. We will see its longevity and hopefully my review will stand. Really easy to install.

Police in Strömstad, Sweden, were called to an apartment this week around 1 a.m after neighbors reported hearing loud banging and the cries of a child or possibly a baby. What police might have feared was a domestic disturbance, turned out to be a a domestic improvement project gone horribly wrong.
The couple that lived in the apartment was engaged in assembling (or possibly breaking up for kindling) some unidentified piece of furniture that they had purchased in a box at Ikea, the Swedish home furnishings company famous for it's do-it-yourself assembly. Assembly which can turn out to be insanely difficult and complex, especially for tired working parents at 1 in the morning.
It seems this particular couple was having enough trouble putting the furniture together that their frustrated banging had awakened the baby, though it is unclear if the baby was crying from lack of sleep, or if it was as frustrated as the parents with the whole assembly project.
No arrests were made.

These are code snippets and rambling musings about Javascript.
I needed a function to turn snake_case to camelCase. There were a bunch out there that used String.replace with a callback. It's terse, but looked slow to me. So I decided to write a few different versions and test them out.
function camelCaseClosure( word ) {
return word.replace(/_([a-z])/g, function(g) { return g[1].toUpperCase(); });
function camelCaseString( word ) {
var newword = "";
var j=0;
for(var i=0,l=word.length; i<l; i++) {
if (word[i]=='_') {
newword += word[i+1].toUpperCase();
} else {
newword += word[i];
return newword;
function camelCaseJoin( word ) {
// var newword = new Array( word.length ); // much slower on chrome
var newword = [];
var j=0;
for(var i=0,l=word.length; i<l; i++) {
if (word[i]=='_') {
newword[j] = word[i+1].toUpperCase();
} else {
newword[j] = word[i];
return newword.join();
// a testing function
function fixKeysClosure( hash ) {
var newhash = {};
var keys = Object.keys(hash);
for(var i=0, l=keys.length; i < l; i++) {
k = keys[i];
newhash[ camelCaseClosure(k) ] = hash[ k ];
return newhash;
I didn't include all the testing code, but it all looks like fixKeysClosure. It changes the keys in a hash to camel case.
Firefox v33 results, 500,000 iterations, in ms:
fixKeysClosure 3880
fixKeysString 2209
fixKeysJoin 2829
Chromium v38 results:
fixKeysClosure 2087
fixKeysString 753
fixKeysJoin 791
So the string version, using the usual concatenation, is fastest. This includes a superfluous variable, j, which I didn't need.
fixKeysJoin was a lot slower on Chrome if you pre-allocated an array of the correct size.
A function to convert the keys of an array to camel case is attached.

I almost wrote a page for this, but it turns out a bookmarklet is good enough:
Make a bookmark, and set that as the URL. Then load up the page of people you're following. Scroll down a bit so more of the users get loaded. Then click the bookmarklet. In a second, all the users will be unfollowed. Reload and start again.
I wrote this before I practiced with the module pattern and with adding methods to prototypes. So this article doesn't explain a best practice. Still, it's a pretty good pattern. See also the Javascript Patterns book.
JS has closures, and with closures, you can create functions that return functions as values. Erm. So what? Well, the closure is not just a function, but also its "environment". I think the term in JS is "local variables". So the function carries with it, a bunch of its local variables.
This means you can create a function that "remembers" some values you've passed to it. Here's an example:
foo = function (x) { return function (y) { return x + y; } }
To use it, you do this:
addone = foo(1); addten = foo(10);
Now, addone(5) returns 6. addten(6) returns 16.
If that doesn't make sense, look at the code again. The body of foo is "return function (y) { return x + y; }".
Well, x, in this case, is a local variable that you passed into foo().
So the code of addone is really something like this: "function addone(y) { var x = 1; return x + y; }".
You may need to re-read the above.
The point here is that the function creates another function, and that function is slightly tailored to do something. Now, that might seem pointless, but it's not. It's a lot like objects and methods, except instead of creating a lot of objects, you now can create a lot of functions that contain some data.
If you think about it, the jQuery and current JS style of programming involves creating a lot of anonymous functions and attaching them as handlers onto the DOM objects. A function-making function is really handy, because you can go through a DOM and attach a unique handler function to each object.
Here's part of a function I'm working on. It might not work:
SW.map.listFormatterMaker = function (prefix) { return function (d) { $.template('MainInjectList', ' ${name} ${city}, ${address}'); document.getElementById( prefix+'-list' ).innerHTML = ''; document.getElementById( prefix+'-list2' ).innerHTML = ''; a = d.slice(0,5); b = d.slice(5,10); a.forEach(SW.listInserter( prefix+'-list')); // this is another function-making function b.forEach(SW.listInserter( prefix+'-list2')); // ditto } }
It's a little long, but it's a function that returns a "listFormatter". A "listFormatter" is a function that formats some data that's passed do it.
It takes a 'prefix' parameter. The HTML includes two UL elements that have IDs of 'map-list' and 'map-list2'. I'm using a naming convention, and the prefix is "map".
When SW.map.listFormatterMaker('map') is called, it returns a function. That function, when passed some data, d, it'll format and insert the data into my page.
Before inserting the data, it splits the array into two (for two columns), and then inserts into -list and -list2, separately. To do the insertion, it uses forEach and another function-making function called listInserter().
So, if I want to re-use this code, I could create some HTML with IDs of 'map2-list' and 'map2-list2' and pass 'map2' as the prefix. Then, calling SW.map.listFormatterMaker('map2'), will make a different function that will do the same thing for a different area of my page.
It's used like this:
$.getJSON('foo.php',{arg:1},SW.map.listFormatterMaker('map')); $.getJSON('bar.php',{arg:1},SW.map.listFormatterMaker('map2'));
So that's 2 function calls that are visible to the user, but the result is that four different areas of the page get updated with data. Each area is updated by anonymous functions.
You might be wondering if this can be done without this function-making-function business. I think it can, but it would be a lot more code. You would have to write a customized data handler for each call. With this style of programming, you avoid that.
Also, it's not just useful for specifying a selector. You can also pass it functions, so it's possible to create functions that have different behaviors depending on the functions passed into the function-maker.
The attached HTML page is a password generator that creates a page of random 10-character passwords. It helps you manage one password per website, so a password leaked for one site doesn't get used on other sites. To use it, click and view the file.
To use it, just keep the printed page in a safe place. Make a copy and store it in a fireproof safe or safe deposit box. As you use each password, make a note of the site. You may not want to use the full site URL. It doesn't matter. You might even try to obfuscate the site name or use an abbreviation. You have three blank columns so you can put in some fake data in there to add chaff, which is junk data meant to mislead someone who gets this paper.
You can also do tricks, like ignore one letter in the password. So you have 9 character passwords instead of 10 character passwords. If the password list is lost or stolen, the guesser would have to guess which character is being dropped from the actual password.
You can transform: perhaps the first character is reduced by 1, so B becomes A, 8 becomes 7, etc. You can transpose - the first two characters can be swapped, so 1} becomes }1.
Every year or so, you can change your passwords and clean up your lists (doing things like alphabetizing them. You might keep the old lists as "decoys". Repeated failed logons will cause some sites to lock out the account. This is another kind of chaffing, where you "fluff up the haystack" and hide your needle in it.
The real password and url is discoverable, but it should be hard for someone to figure out.

Here's a bit of PHP code that emits javascript. The javascript emits an email link, but coded in Javascript, so that most spiders won't be able to get your email address for spamming.
function printEmailAddress( $email )
$parts = explode( '@', $email );
echo ' var d = document;';
echo 'd.write("");';
echo 'd.write("'.$parts[0].'");';
echo 'd.write("@");';
echo 'd.write("'.$parts[1].'");';

Normally, you should use canned Javascript or canned PHP modules to implement web features, but sometimes, that can suck. Typically, these products, if they're popular, start to suffer from feature bloat. Such was the case with some code for "interstitials", which are those ads that pop up on some web pages, interrupting your reading. Popups have been around a long time, and the drop-in code is just really huge.
Nowadays, you can assume that you'll have at least one JS library installed on the site. I started with Dojo, and now use jQuery. There's also Scriptaculous on top of Prototype (I'm kinda iffy about those), and Mootools.
So you can immediately cut code size by using the library, which is large, but can be cached -- if you link to it from one of the CDNs like Google -- and is reused for other things. Then, you can start looking at libraries.
The best interstitial library seems to be Shadowbox.js. It just looks nice.
Of course, sometimes, you just want to make your own, and you need special behaviors. In my case, I needed a form that integrates with an external site, not a thumbnail that expands, so Shadowbox wasn't a great fit. I just coded it by hand, and learned some more jQuery and CSS. To top it off, the code is a little smaller.
The interstitial ad feature is attached. If you need more explanation, please ask in a comment, and I'll do my best to accomodate.

So I'm working on a small "speech bubble" library, and needed to delay hiding of the bubble. It's not that it was required, but it was a pain in the butt figuring out how to arrange the event handlers on the different elements so that you don't end up with a situation where you get a flickering bubble because you hide the bubble, and that fires a mouseover event that, in turn, displays the bubble again. That fires a mouseout event that causes the bubble to be hidden.
The usual right way to fix this is to detect the mouse moving into the area around the hotspot, and when it does that, hide it. My cheap fix is to just delay the hiding, and if the mouse happens to enter another element that requires the bubble to be displayed, the handler for this other element can cancel the hide.
A delay is also "nice" because it also gives the user a chance to roll back if they overshoot a target a little bit.
Here's the code fragment to implement a delay:
var hide = function () { this.bubble.style.display = 'none'; } var delayedHide = function() { (function (x) { x.hideInProgress = setTimeout(function () {x.hide()},250); })(this); } var cancelHide = function() { clearTimeout(this.hideInProgress); }
The one really weird part is in delayedHide. What this does is construct a function that will call setTimeout(), then immediately call it. That calls setTimeout(), which registers the timeout handler to fire off in 1/4 second. Why not just call it like this?
this.hideInProgress = setTimeout(function () {this.hide()}, 250);
Well, the problem is that "this" changes between the two calls. When it's called from the bubble object (i.e. b.delayedHide() ), "this" is set to the object. When the timeout happens and the function's called by the system, I think "this" is set to window. Anyway, it's a different "this". "this" may not even exist. We're screwed.
So what we do, instead, is use a function to create a closure. A closure holds is local variables. So, what's happening is that (function(x) { ... })(this) is setting the local variable x to = this. Then, when function(){x.hide()} is created, it also carries the local variable x within the closure. That's because the closure contains the local variables in the scope in which is was defined.
After the call, the outer function wrapper is thrown away, but the inner one is stored away in window, ready to be called in 250 milliseconds.
A JavaScript Module Pattern is a fantastic example of how to use closures.
Javascript Closures has more detailed information.
Douglas Crockford brought the style over to JS, and his site has a lot of important articles about Javascript hacking (as a functional language).
A good description of closures is part of Blocks and Closures in Ruby an interview with Matz.
This video, Advanced Topics In Programming Languages: Closures For Java with Neal Gafter has a pretty detailed explanation about implementing closures in Java.
Last but not least, PHP 5.3 will have closures. What's new in PHP by John Mertic at IBM developerworks details the feature. The PHP RFC also has good examples.

Joel on Software has a good article that explains functors, the purpose of passing functions as paramters, and leads into an explanation of map/reduce and parallel computing. These ideas are explained in Javascript, but also apply to Lisp, Scheme, and Perl (see the Mark Jason Dominus book). All these languages are functional programming languages, where functions are objects (or objects are functions).
(Add examples of functional programming here.)
Unfortunately, PHP, the other language covered here, has only half-baked functional programming. See the Function Handling Functions section of the manual.
All the tutorials out there teach JS by having the user write a file, and load it into the browser. That's unnecessary work, if what you're really doing is learning the language syntax and are not interested in the web browser environment.
Most contemporary scripting languages have a Read Eval Print Loop (REPL), which some might call a "shell", or "console", or "interactive debugging", or "interactive toplevel", or "interactive mode". It's a prompt at which you type code, and the interpreter runs your code, and prints an output.
There are a few different REPLs for JS. The main one is in the error console, at the bottom. It's a command line. You can type anything into there, and it'll be evaluated.
In Firebug, there's a red button in the right side of the console's command line. If you press it, you'll get a small text editor where you can enter more complex expressions or even complete programs. To execute, press Control-Enter, or click "Run".
If you're on a Unix system, you can install node.js. On Ubuntu Linux, it's the "nodejs" package. The "nodejs" command starts a REPL for JavaScript.
Checkboxes work well if you're dealing with a few choices, but stop working so well when there are many options, and only a few are selected. SelectAdd is some code that will display a CSS/JS/DHTML widget that makes it look like you're adding selections to a list.
This is just a demo script. It doesn't include any integration with a database backend.

This page reads your timesheet, which you paste in below, and adds up your hours. It's designed to work with somewhat organized data, in a format that I've used for years.
Do not type your timesheet into this page. You will lose your data! Use something like "Stickies" or some other notetaker, or Notepad, instead. Copy your data into this page, and use it as a calculator and timesheet formatter.
If you're interested in regexs, check out a refcard at Visibone. I used that page to make this page. (The cards are a good cheap gift for your local webhead.)
One of the less-used features is the Function() object, which can turn a string of Javascript code into a function. This is an example of how it can be useful.
I recently hit an annoyance with the Android browser. Around version 3 and 4 of Android, the browser stopped supporting the JS history.pushState() and history.replaceState() methods, basically killing my LA IMC JS app.
Just to verify, I wrote the following to test the existence of those objects:

found a new home!
Plenty of my friends are looking
for one too. Find a pet to adopt.
Find a pet to adopt |
My name is Lovey!
Facts about Lovey
- Breed: Bengal
- Color: Brown Or Chocolate (Mostly)
- Age: Young
- Sex: Male
- Hair: Short
Lovey's Info...
I am already neutered, up to date with shots, and declawed.
This precious 2 to 3 year old furry boy is handsome with strikng fur but his picture was taken shortly after arriving at the vet and he was quite frightened. Lovey was recently rescued and his days are numbered. He is declawed, extremely friendly and loves head rubs and attention. He has excellent litter box habits and is very gentle. He can be delivered to Orange or San Diego counties. To learn more or arrange to meet her please call or email Phyllis: firstname.lastname@example.com 323 394-0954 or Margery email@example.com 760 455-8254
Other Pets at Laguna Woods Cat Club Foster/Adoption Program
Why Adoption is a Great Option
Lovey, a Laguna Woods Bengal cat was adopted! Here's how you can benefit by looking at adoption as an option to buying a Bengal for sale in Laguna Woods, or seeking a Bengal cat from a breeder in Laguna Woods.
- Rescues and shelter volunteers in Laguna Woods already know the personality and tendencies of their pets. This means they can match you with the right pet. That will makes it much easier transition to owning a pet for yourself and your new pet.
- On average adoption fees are much less than you'd pay a Laguna Woods breeder, or pet store. Plus most often rescue pets have already been to the veterinarian for a check-up, had a round of vaccinations, and are spayed or neutered. That is a lot of savings!
- You will become a hero, and give a needy dog or cat a loving home. In fact, there are even Bengal breeders who help with Bengal rescue. One puppy or kitten adopted in Laguna Woods paves the way for another one to be saved.

7 calves missing after McHenry Co. barn fire
Seven calves are missing after a barn fire in McHenry County that is suspected to have been caused by a heat lamp.
Authorities said they arrived on the scene along Root Road near Harvard at just before 2 p.m. Tuesday and that the fire destroyed the barn and heavily damaged a mechanic's shop on the property.
"The property owner explained that the destroyed barn housed calves, and he was not able to account for seven calves," according to the release issued by the McHenry County Sheriff's Department.
The Marengo Fire Protection District was assisted by representatives from Belvidere, Harvard, Huntley, Union and Woodstock. The exact cause of the fire is to be determined by fire officials. The fire officials on scene stated the fire did not appear to be suspicious.

How do I keep cats out of my flower beds? It's no fun when you're working in the garden and scoop that out lol |
Follow-Up Postings:
You could try laying down chicken wire just under the mulch. Or even on top of it. The cats don't like getting their claws hooked on it. Try cayenne pepper also. But you'd have to do it every time it rains. My DH pours concrete and has a sand pile, and every cat in town knows where it's at! He's resorted to making a chicken wire hat, seems to keep them from the pile, tho they do poop on the ground NEXT to the pile. |

During my Easter vacation in Philly, Chloe and I had lunch at XIX at the Bellevue Hyatt. We both had the $22 3-course meal. The first course was a spread of various salads (caesar, potato, broccolini, tomato & basil, and spinach & endive), artisinal cheeses (brie, dubliner, and port salut) and meats (finocchiona, pistachio mortdella, and capicola). All the salads tasted fresh and clean and it was a challenge not to eat too much since we still had two more courses.
The second course included your choice of select entrees. Chloe had the fish of the day and I chose the XIX steak, which had a hoisin sauce marinade that reminded me of Korean-style kalbi. We finished our delightful meal with our fill of decadent sweets from the dessert table, which included chocolate chip cookies, coconut macaroons, sugar cookies, lemon madelines, fresh berries and cream, peach cobbler, white chocolate amaretto cups, banana cream puffs, cannoles, and chocolate indulgence. Everything was more than satisfactory and we left with full and happy stomachs.

Today, I'd like to announce my retirement from blogging.
It's been a great four-and-a-half years for the John Larroquette Project. I've lived for the challenge of getting up in the morning and coming up with an idea to write about. The creative writing process is one that I've always found rewarding. I can honestly say that I've loved every minute of it.
Unfortunately, as I sit here this morning, I've come to the realization that while I know I still can blog, I just don't have the desire to anymore. I'm just burnt out. While I know I'll miss the daily challenge, I won't miss those mornings where I'm going through the motions, or the feeling of posting drivel just because I spent 20 minutes writing it. I'm just going to take some time off, and spend more quality time with my wife or with a good book.
It's been fun, and thanks for reading.
You know what? I've changed my mind. I'm not retiring. I want to come back.
You see, I didn't really want to retire in the first place. Adam pressured me into it. If you go back and re-read my retirement address, you'll see that every word of it was honest, except for the parts that Adam forced me into.
What's that? You've already moved on? First of all, that seems improbable, given that I retired only a few moments ago. Secondly, who are you going to replace me with? Ben? Ben's a nice guy and all, but he's not ready for prime-time – he still needs more seasoning and tutelage under the master (i.e. me).
Let me put it to you this way, who gives the John Larroquette Project the best chance to succeed on a daily basis? Me, right? So let me back. If you won't let me back, I demand that you release me from any affiliation with the John Larroquette Project, and let me blog elsewhere. As a matter of fact, I've been having a few behind-the-scenes conversations with Kevin's blog, and they seem very interested in bringing me on board.
What do you mean, "blog tampering"? I've never heard of such a thing.
Look, I don't want to get into some bitter squabble with all of you. All I ask is that you allow me to retire and unretire in peace, and bend over backwards to meet my increasingly fickle demands.
I just wish all of you hadn't put me in this position.

I have been searching the web and have been finding mixed resposes... Does Layer States or Layer States Manager exist in AutoCad LT 2013 for MAC?
When I type it into the command bar it comes back as unknow... When I type it into the search command it doesn't find it.
Is it now called something different? if it doesn't exist, is there another way to acheive (creating certain grouping of layers that will "turn on" and "turn off" only in certain situations) using another command or tool?
Solved! Go to Solution.
Solved! by maxim_k. See the answer in context.
Unfortunately there is no Layer State manager in Mac versions of AutoCAD (LT and full).
You can only use "State" option of -LAYER command to control Layer states.
For the full version of AutoCAD for Mac I created a kind of command line version of Layer State manager, but it is an AutoLISP routine, which doesn't work in LT.
It is not listed in the HELP for LT2013 either.

Thank you for that info! I feel silly asking this... But how do I get to the state option in "Layer".
If I understand correctly I should be typing in the word LAYER and in the command bar the following should appear in the command bar:
I should then type State...
Well, it doesn't happen. When I type the in the word "layer" (maybe I am not even supposed to be doing that) nothing happens, not even in the command bar. If I type in the word layer I notice multiple options that include the word layer appear. However, none of these say layerstate or something similar.
I know I am doing something wrong, so thank you in advance for your detailed response!!!
THANK YOU!!! I was not typing in the hyphen. All fixed!
Thanks for all you help.
WIthout a states manager, how are MAC users to effectively use Layouts? Having to re-create the layer "state" for each viewport is time consuming & frustrating.
I have a further question to throw out here wrt layouts & viewports. I would like to create layout tabs for each 'sheet' in a set of drawings. And for each layout I would like to have one of my borders (where I have my logo, dates, the scale, name of the sheet and other info). I would like to insert each border (the border might change depending on the layout) into the layout, BUT I don't want the border to show up back in model space. However, the only way I seem to be able to insert a border drawing as a block, is if I double click inside a viewport... and this of course also inserts the border into the model space (so I end up having bunches of borders plopped down in my orignal drawing (yuck). If I have not double clicked in the viewport, I can draw can shapes (eg, circle, rectangle etc) generally on the layout (where its not in the viewport). These shapes do not appear in model space (so its good for making notes particular to the layout). I really don't want to have to redraw the different logos for each viewport in each layout. (and for that matter, sometimes one wants a border for each viewport in the layout, and then a border that goes around all the viewports in the layout. Is there any way to do this with blocks?
I would even settle for being able to create a layer (and inserting my blocks onto it) that I can turn ON in the layout, but have turned OFF/FROZEN in model space (and to be able to do this with my autocad 2013 for MAC).
Allow me to also vent by asking the question: why are there so many features in Autocad for MAC that are different from Autocad for PC. Its terribly difficult for those of us used to the PC "world". And its also very frustrating when we have discussions with other Autocad users only to find out that we are talking different languages (PC acad vs MAC acad). Was this done out of a keen wicked sense of humor, or are there technical reasons?
Now your question about Title blocks (borders) in Layout.
The same way as you can draw lines, create text in Layout (and not inside viewport in Layout) - you can insert blocks in Layout and this block will never appears in Model space.
Have you tried this for your title blocks?
I use blocks (Title blocks) in Layouts every time and don't have any troubles with them.

Student View - Frances Perry
Frances Perry "I'm currently living in Astor College. I choose to be in self-catered accommodation as it allows me to cook what I want when I want. The Halls are only ten minutes away from the UCL Quad, close to UCL's Ramsay Hall and some favourite student destinations so the area feels like a university campus. I think living in Halls is the best place to be in your first year as it gives you the opportunity to meet so many new people from all over the world. You can't be a real student until you've shared a kitchen with at least five other people!" |

Car Museums
View Larger Map
Last week, Lamborghini opened its doors to allow Google to tour its exclusive museum in Bologna, Italy. The show floor is filled with modern, concept, and classic Lambos such as the 1968 Islero and the 1969 Muira. Every open door is also an invitation to get behind the wheel as the camera mapped interiors of each vehicle as well. Without a couple hundred thousand dollars to part with, thats a rare experience.
Although a little less luxurious, Google also got a look inside the Honda Collection museum in Tochigi, Japan. The three-story building showcases more than just autosit is a microcosm of the companys 50-year history. Honda is the second Japanese automaker to embrace Street View exposure, as Mazdas museum in Hiroshima was mapped back in March.
Everest Base Camp
View Larger Map
The hazardous journey to the Roof of the World and has claimed eight lives so far this year. Google didnt make the nearly 30,000-foot ascent, but one adventurous trekker did get as far as the base camp, more than halfway up the mountain. The rocky and seemingly inhospitable camp is covered in prayer flags from previous climbers, and low-hanging clouds obscure Everest and the looming challenge ahead. Conquering the worlds highest summit requires a lot of experience and time-consuming preparation, but Street View presents the next best thing.
Diagon Alley
View Larger Map
As audiences took their first steps into the magic-filled world of Harry Potter in 2001s Harry Potter and the Sorcerers Stone, this was the street that greeted them. The main avenue of Diagon Alley is as memorable as Hogwarts. Before leaving for the school of witchcraft and wizardry, Harry gathered supplies for the year ahead in Diagon Alley, kind of like a magical Wal-Mart.
The recognizable shops still line the set, including Ollivanders, Flourish & Blotts, as well as the goblin bank, Gringotts, and a later addition, Weasleys Wizard Wheezes. You cant go in the buildingsonly meandering the cobblestone streets is allowedbut you could always just watch the movies for the interiors.
Roman Colosseum
View Larger Map
Well-known as one of the worlds architectural wonders, and where Russell Crowe finally bit it in Gladiator, the Colosseum has stood for almost 2000 years and is a pretty popular tourist spot. Google allows you to skip the transatlantic flight and experience the Roman death pit up close and personal. Users can wander around the stone perimeter and even get a glimpse of the interior, but the camera doesnt explore the sprawling stone labyrinth once hidden under the Colosseums floor.

In only a few years of operation, CERNs Large Hadron Collider has given us a more complete understanding of how the universe works, especially with the confirmation of the Higgs boson in 2012. Still, its hard to really picture just how massive a machine needs to be to create black holes and investigate the very fabric of the universe. Googles Street View team toured the Swiss facility and explored the sharp-angled metal corridors and the colossal collider.

Some of these questions might seem stupid, but I'd like an answer from those who have used it because I'm about to undertake a project and one of the places I buy my stuff from hires people who don't know a darn thing about the department they work in the store. (They recently hired a friend of mine for the flooring department simply because she answered an 'area' question correctly on a survey. She knows nothing about flooring.)
I know from reading previous posts that it can be used as an adhesive and also be used as a 'grout'and that it does not need to be sealed. If my assumptions on these points are wrong, please let me know. - Do you simply mix with water or are there other additives which must be mixed in?
My plan is to purchase some stepping stones, glue some porcelain tiles in a fish pattern to them, grout, then place a path around our home symbolizing a school of fish. The main issue here is that taking these stepping stones inside every fall would be out of the question so they would have to remain outside. Any info would be great! |
Follow-Up Postings:
Hi Tiffy, Ok...I'll bite. - Do you simply mix with water or are there other additives which must be mixed in? - How long before it sets and the pieces are 'glued'? - How long can you have thinset in a bucket before it is no longer good to use? - Can you add colouring (water based paint) and if so does this affect the integrity of the product? - Can this stuff withstand freeze and thaw and be left out in the winter? I hope I haven't confused you even more. |
I feel your pain about the answers received from the store, I've caught the salespeople wrong on numerous times. -I use 2 different thinsets, one is already polymer modified and one isn't. I mix both the same and not had a problem...just water, you could add a polymer additive if you get a nonmodified thinset but I've not found it is neccesary. I use thinset the day I mix it and in small batches. Thinset once applied to a stone is workable for 1-2 hours at most if mosaic is handle after that your tile will fall off and you will need to apply more thinset. Thinset generally cures in 24-48 hours. I usually then grout mine with grout, wait another 2 days, then seal, wait 24 hours and put where I want outside. I can't answer your coloring question or the weathering question(I'm in Florida, mine don't freeze.) p |

tiffy your questions where not stupid, I got answers to questions I didn't even realize I had!!! Thanks girls!! |
there's also rapid set thinset if you're in a rush but it's more expensive than the regular stuff. obviously, it sets up a lot faster so that means less of a window of working time - which means you'd need to make smaller batches of mortar. |

Arrr, matey. September 19 be Talk Like a Pirate Day, and this year, it may also be known as Play Awesome Piratey Games Day. What's a holiday for pirates without cheap or free pirates games, after all?

An old pirate hobbled into a bar. Bartender asked what happened to his leg. "Shark bit it off when escaping the Lourds." He then asked what happened to his hand, which had a hook on it. "Had to cut it off to escape the hanging." Not grizzled yet, the bartender then inquired about the eyepatch. "First day with the hook."

Previous owner of my house covered much of the back yard with long sheets of landscape fabric, then covered with mulch and soil. Over the years, a thick weed eco-system has developed on top of the fabric. I need to remove the landscape fabric, but have to find a way to cut it into pieces. It is embedded in the ground and is not budging when I pull.
I'm trying to come up with a cutting tool, preferably on a long handle, to do this job. It has to be sturdy enough to plunge through 3-4 inches of soil and roots and still be sharp enough to cut the fabric. And being able to attach it to a pole would save my back. I've come up with and rejected ideas such as a box cutter or an Exacto knife - both sharp enough but the blades are too short. I'm wondering whether some sort of knife used by fishermen would work. Anybody have any ideas? |
Follow-Up Postings:
I hate to think the worse but a disc and harrow on a small diesel tractor would do the job . It would turn over your soil and exposed the membrane . Alternately a Commercial Grade Tiller would do the same but would most likely tear up the membrane into small pieces , which would require additional man-hours to remove with a higher rate potential of Tine Entanglement . |
Sorry, should have mentioned, this is a yard in a city. Total area counting the house is 0.16 acres. I need a hand tool. I have an electric tiller that I will use after the landscape fabric is gone. |
- Posted by fruitjarfla (My Page) on Thu, Aug 5, 10 at 8:22
Suggest doing it in many small steps. In a reasonably small area, use the tiller at a shallow depth, to loosen the soil -- then pull up the fabric. |
The landscape fabric is at all different levels, some exposed, some buried. I can't take a tiller to it until I remove the landscape fabric. I've tried it and I spend much of my time taking the tiller apart to remove the pieces of landscape fabric fouling the tines. If I can cut the landscape fabric into smaller, manageable pieces, maybe one foot square, then I will be able to pull them out. I envision walking through sections of the yard and cutting at the soil like you would a sheet cake, and then coming behind later and pulling up the fabric. I need a long sharp knife, sharper than anything I have around here at the moment. |
Pick up a Arborist Serrated Bow Knife , it has a Si-the/hoe like extend handle that will enable you to cut through the membrane at surface level and to within 2-3 inchs below grade. The blade is self sharpening so it will not be damaged for this purpose . Normally used for manual limbing of Fruit Bearing Trees . Some areas have Rental Shops that carry such Tools . |
I went looking for an arborist serrated bow knife and didn't find it on the internt. I've ordered something that I think is similar, a Japanese sickle. I'll report back when it arrives and I have a chance to try it out in the yard. |
Gray: Yeah your on it Bro ! Good Luck and take it easy on the lower back Dude:) |

We are not advocating or discouraging specific ways for news organizations to seek payment for digital content. We believe the marketplace will determine whether any of the many experiments will ultimately be successful. And we believe that managers of news organizations are best positioned to shape and test responses to them. For example, newspapers should develop detailed information about their digital audience to sell more targeted, and higher-priced, advertising to accompany specific digital content, while protecting individual readers' privacy. They also should experiment with digital commerce that does not conflict with their news reporting, such as facilitating the purchase of books they review. To borrow a phrase from another digital news context, we see a long tail of possible revenue sources—payment for some kinds of unique digital content, online commerce, higher print subscription prices, even new print products—being added to diminished but still significant advertising revenues.
There is unlikely to be any single new economic model for supporting news reporting. Many newspapers can and will find ways to survive in print and online, with new combinations of reduced resources. But they will no longer produce the kinds of revenues or profits that had subsidized large reporting staffs, regardless of what new business models they evolve. The days of a kind of news media paternalism or patronage that produced journalism in the public interest, whether or not it contributed to the bottom line, are largely gone. American society must take some collective responsibility for supporting independent news reporting in this new environment—as society has, at much greater expense, for public needs like education, health care, scientific advancement, and cultural preservation—through varying combinations of philanthropy, subsidy, and government policy.
The failure of much of the public broadcasting system to provide significant local news reporting reflects longstanding neglect of this responsibility.
Our recommendations are intended to support independent, original, and credible news reporting, especially local and accountability reporting, across all media in communities throughout the United States. Rather than depending primarily on newspapers and their waning reporting resources, each sizeable American community should have a range of diverse sources of news reporting. They should include a variety and mix of commercial and nonprofit news organizations that can both compete and collaborate with one another. They should be adapting traditional journalistic forms to the multimedia, interactive, real-time capabilities of digital communication, sharing the reporting and distribution of news with citizens, bloggers, and aggregators.
To support diverse sources of independent news reporting, we specifically recommend:
The Internal Revenue Service or Congress should explicitly authorize any independent news organization substantially devoted to reporting on public affairs to be created as or converted into a nonprofit entity or a low-profit Limited Liability Corporation serving the public interest, regardless of its mix of financial support, including commercial sponsorship and advertising. The IRS or Congress also should explicitly authorize program-related investments by philanthropic foundations in these hybrid news organizations—and in designated public service news reporting by for-profit news organizations.
Many of the startup news reporting entities are already tax-exempt nonprofits recognized by the IRS under section 501(c)(3) of the tax code. Some magazines with news content, including Harper's, Mother Jones, and The Washington Monthly, as well as public radio and television stations, also have been nonprofits for years. All are able to receive tax-deductible donations, along with foundation grants, advertising revenue, and other income, including revenue from for-profit subsidiaries. Their nonprofit status helps assure contributors and advertisers that they are primarily supporting news reporting rather than the maximization of profits. Tax deductibility is an added incentive for donors, and the nonprofit's tax exemption allows any excess income to be re-invested in resources for reporting.
However, neither the IRS nor Congress has made clear what kinds of news organizations qualify as nonprofits under section 501(c)(3), which specifies such charitable activities as the advancement of education, religion, science, civil rights, and amateur sports. News reporting is not one of the "exempt purposes" listed by the IRS, which has granted 501(c)(3) nonprofit recognition to startup news organizations individually by letter rather than categorically. News organizations cannot be certain whether they would qualify—or whether they would be able to keep their 501(c)(3) status, depending, for example, on how much advertising or other commercial income they earn or the extent to which they express political opinions.

Wild Mercury Sound
Shack's Time Machine
You know those people whose taste you instinctively distrust? Who only ever seem to love music that you can't stand? For me, that's Noel Gallagher. Every time he steps up to proselytise on behalf of a band, my heart sinks. Here, after all, is a man whose every aesthetic decision seems predicated on a terrifying fear of the unknown, whose idea of the avant-garde is Beck. If it doesn't fit Gallagher's conservative idea of The Song, he'll never speak out in favour of it.
The one great thing Gallagher has done, however, is to have tried so heroically to sustain a career for Mick and John Head and their enduringly wonderful band, Shack. It'd be a bit daft for me to make claims for Shack as a particularly radical group; Mick Head, especially, fits the Gallagher profile of artisanal, traditional, working-class rock'n'roll songwriter to a tee.
But for over 20 years now, Head has been investing his songs with an elegaic, hazy quality which sets them apart from virtually any of his contemporaries. Like plenty of other songwriters from Liverpool, the stoned West Coast fantasias of Love have been a particularly potent influence ("Meant To Be" is a perfect recreation of the psych mariachi strain). But really, Shack evade meticulous analysis. Basically, Mick Head is just better at writing songs. About telly and heroin.
"Time Machine", which Gallagher is putting out on his own Sour Mash label, is a deserved 'best of' collection; not a 'greatest hits', sadly, despite the best efforts of Oasis and several generations of whingeing music hacks. In the late '90s, it briefly looked as if Shack might creep into the mainstream on the back of the Noelrock boom. A major label album, "HMS Fable", gave Head's ineffably fragile songs some new muscle. NME put Head's weatherbeaten mug on the front cover.
And still, it never quite happened. "HMS Fable" felt a bit overfussy to me at the time, compared with the delicacies of the album which preceded it, "The Magical World Of The Strands" (credited to The Strands, and consequently ignored by this comp). Now, though, everything here seems to fit together perfectly, from the rickety acid folk of an early single like "Al's Vacation", through moist, blokey "Fable" anthems like "Pull Together", right up to a couple of feisty new tracks, "Holiday Abroad" and "Wanda".
It all makes for a lovely album, although I wouldn't be doing my duty as a music journalist and fan if I didn't complain a bit about the tracklisting. There's nothing from their late '80s debut (as Shack, a couple of LPs as The Pale Fountains preceded it, of course), "Zilch"; a record with a fairly unpleasant, dated production, for sure, but with some undervalued songs like "Emergency" and "The Believers" on it.
The Strands' songs are probably my favourites, so it might have been nice to find space for "Queen Matilda" and "X Hits The Spot", say. And while it's great to have a couple of fine early singles ("I Know You Well", which is what you hoped the second Stone Roses album could've been, and "Al's Vacation"), they've missed a marvellous one from just after "HMS Fable", "Oscar".
OK, fanboy whining over. "Time Machine" works just fine. And as every aggrieved reviewer will agree in the next couple of months; if you've never given this exceptional band a chance, try this one for size. And if you don't trust me, listen to that nice Noel Gallagher. . .

I am getting ready to place an order for Amaryllis bulbs now and saw two sites: Van Engelen and Scheepers Bulbs. Are these one and the same company?
I have also been thinking of their collections. From what I understand they give you one of each listed but don't send them labeled. Has anyone gotten their bulbs that way and are they accurate? Appreciate! |
Follow-Up Postings:
I have ordered from van Engelen and they usually sell in groups of 3. All 3 bulbs of the one variety came in a single labled bag (I ordered 4 or 5 different hybrids so got 4-5 bags with 3 bulbs in each bag). I only got 1 mislabled bulb, was supposed to be Vera and was a lovely Minerva. Otherwise, the quality was good. I'm sure others will chime in with their experiences. Kristi |
van engelen and john sheepers are sister companies. van engelen is the whole sale branch. |
Thank you so much for the info and especially the accuracy of the one. Makes me feel better ordering now! |
I ordered a collection of doubles last year and the bulbs were not individually identified, however, when they bloomed I had one of each that they said would be in the collection. Going from memory I think I had; jewel, red peacock, dancing queen, elvas and double record. Awesome bulbs! Amazingly they opened somewhat in succession and it was like watching fireworks with the all ooohhhs and aaahhhs included! |

My wife and I gave a small hydroponic set-up to her mother and father about ten years ago. They used it for a number of years, and then gave it to us for our use. I replaced a few parts (pump, timer) and we gave it a whirl for the first time this year in our greenhouse. Here are two pictures of the tomatoes now growing. I am still such an amateur with the set up, and there is much I need to learn, but I'm liking the results so far. Jim |
Follow-Up Postings:
Beautiful! Are you using ebb and flow? I'm trying hydroponics again this year. So far I'm happy with the results too. -Hal |
Yes, Hal, this is an ebb and flow system. I'm amazed at how often I have to replenish the water in the holding tank (almost daily) now that the plants are quite large. It is sure nice to have the tomatoes though. Good luck with your setup. Is it ebb and flow as well? Jim |
Great looking plants, they looks very healthy..I am also growing tom's in an Ebb and flow table, This is my first time growing in an ebb and flow system. My question for you is, did you cover your roots or did you just let them sit in the bottom of the tray...I have not covered mine and they seem to be turning a bit green. is this ok? You can see my set up a few posts down from your "new grow box with pics" my plants are about 12inches now and growing FAST. Also, At what point did you go to a bloom fertilizer? |
I'm not sure what you mean by "cover your roots". I started the plants as seedlings in regular soil six packs, then carefully washed out the soil when I transplanted them into the clay rock (just like yours). I had some rocks in the pots, layed in the extensive roots and gently added more rock to cover all the roots. I let the plants get pretty large (3 feet tall) and gradually transitioned them to more bloom than the original mix called for. I still occasionally add a dropperful of Schultz liquid 14-14-14 to the storage tank as I add more water, but am generally using mostly the liquid bloom formulation I've got, with smaller amounts of growth and micronutrient formulas. I read and saw a picture of algae getting on roots (which turned them green), and the person responding said they didn't think that it was anything to be concerned about. See the NFT algae issues thread and picture just below your thread on the new grow box. That would be my guess about roots turning green. Keep posting pics to let us see how it is going. All the best, Jim |
Here is a picture of a few tomatoes I picked today from the hydroponic setup in the greenhouse. Amazing! Jim |

At 3:15 each afternoon Mollie Baldwin sets a kettle of water on the stove.
She ladles three spoonfuls of fine English tea into a
ceramic pot, sets a linen-topped table with china cups, a perfect plate
of grapes and a lovely shortcake still warm from the oven.
Promptly at 3:30 the doorbell rings, and before Baldwin has time to answer, the first guest bustles inside.
"It's me-e," a voice belonging to Dorothy Decker calls out.
In a few minutes the living room fills. The kettle
whistles, coats are shed and pleasantries exchanged in the tidy stone
house with sunshine yellow trim on Cedar Avenue. Baldwin takes a seat
and holds a chubby brown pot aloft.
"Well, let's have some tea," says the sensible looking
75-year-old former school teacher, peering at her guests from behind
roundish glasses.
And so it begins.
Every day for the last 20 years, in this Nantucket blue
living room with its comfy chairs, braided rug and shelves lined with
dozens of colorful tea pots, tea is served.
In a world approaching warp speed, here time stands still.
Burdens are lifted, woes released, stories told, days recounted.
Through two decades of living, of trees growing tall and
kids growing up, of grandchildren being born, of parents and husbands
dying, through presidential elections and the technological revolution,
tea hasn't changed. The clock ticks. Cups are filled and refilled.
Bodies sink into a relaxing rhythm, cares momentarily suspended.
The women catch up on old times, discuss books, politics, children's lives.
This is a worthy tradition.
It is a gift from Nanny, the woman who started it all.
It all began in 1968. . . . .read the whole story here
