platform determines for what platform the gem is meant. If you are just using pure Ruby, it can stay with this default. This flag becomes very important when you are shipping precompiled gems.
name, version, author, email and summary provide basic information about the gem and its author. This is how users can find out who is responsible for the code.
files defines the list of files that are to be included in the gem. The FileList command is provided by rake, which does two things that make life easier. First, it handles globs (*) and patterns meaning that you can grab a lot of files easily. It also understands that certain files should be excluded. By default, it excludes CVS, svn, bak and core files.
require_path is set to determine what directories should be searched for code. The value for this would change if you were building extensions in the ext.
autorequire designates which file will be loaded when require ipadmin is called in code. ipadmin.rb in this module handles requiring the other three libraries that ship with ipadmin.
test_files is a list of files that should be executed when the gem is installed if the user adds the -t argument to the gem install. This is a way to provide safety checks to make sure everything worked after the gem is installed.
has_rodc is a way to tell gem you have included rdoc tags in the code. If this flag is false or missing, gem will not generate documentation automatically.
extra_rdoc_files allows you to include other files in the documentation that is generated by gem. In this case, the README file is being linked into the document ion. If you had other documents, they could be listed here.
Because IPAdmin is a very simple project, it does not include one very useful command: add_dependency. If you build a gem that depends on another gem, this command allows these dependencies to be specified. You even can tie it to a version number in the same way you can with require_gem. When you install a gem that has a dependency, gem checks to see if it is met. If it is not met, gem offers to install it. To add a dependency on rake, you could add this to the spec definition:
Thanks to a patch from Paul Duncan, the latest version of RubyGems (0.8.11) now has some features to support signing your gems using a public/private key. This introduces some new options for the gem specification (signing_key and cert_chain). This change also allows you to install gems in a high-security mode that will install only gems that are signed by trusted sources. Because the feature itself is very new, some pieces of infrastructure to make it useful in the greater scheme of things are missing—namely, an easy way to build up a chain of trust so that end users do not have to add certificates for every single gem author out there. That being said, these features might be useful if you want to control gems inside your network across a lot of servers. You could download them once and sign them with an internal certificate. Then, you could update all your servers by requesting gems from the server where you distribute these signed gems. Duncan has written a great overview of getting started with gem signing on the RubyGems Manuals site (see Resources).
Now that you have a gem, you probably want to share it. There are several ways to distribute your code. The simplest way is to host the file. When people want to install it, they can download the file and run gem in the same directory.
The second option is to host the project at RubyForge.org. RubyGems ships with RubyForge as the default source for gems. RubyForge even runs a special script so that once you upload your new gem to your account, it automatically is available to all users of RubyGems.
Assuming you do not want to use RubyForge, there are two options left to make it possible to distribute your gem via RubyGems. First, you need to run your own server. The easiest way to do that is to simply fire up gem_server. It automatically shares gems with anyone who connects to it.
The other option is to cd to a directory inside of the webroot of an existing Web server. Create a directory called gems, and copy all the gems you want to distribute into that directory.
Run the following command, and replace DIR with the full path to the directory above the gems directory. This creates yaml and yam.Z files:
generate_yaml_index.rb -d DIR
You need to re-run the script anytime you modify the gems you are serving. Keep in mind that if you use either of these options, your users have to add the --source URL_OF_YOUR_SITE to the gem install command. This allows gem to search that site for gems.
the option --include-dependencies is the default
gem install rails --include-dependencies
can be
gem install rails
is now the default on the current gem 1.3.7
Thank you for this article, posted on May 27, 2006 and still helping people!;)
nice stuff
Thank You for another very interesting article.
It's really good written and I fully agree with You
on main issue, btw. I must say that I really enjoyed
reading all of Your posts. It's interesting to read ideas,
and observations from someone else's point of view… it makes
you think more. So please try to keep up the great work all the time.
As Linux continues to play an ever increasing role in corporate data centers and institutions, ensuring the integrity and protection of these systems must be a priority. With 60% of the world's websites and an increasing share of organization's mission-critical workloads running on Linux, failing to stop malware and other advanced threats on Linux can increasingly impact an organization's reputation and bottom line.

Most companies incorporate backup procedures for critical data, which can be restored quickly if a loss occurs. However, fewer companies are prepared for catastrophic system failures, in which they lose all data, the entire operating system, applications, settings, patches and more, reducing their system(s) to "bare metal." After all, before data can be restored to a system, there must be a system to restore it to.
In this one hour webinar, learn how to enhance your existing backup strategies for better disaster recovery preparedness using Storix System Backup Administrator (SBAdmin), a highly flexible bare-metal recovery solution for UNIX and Linux systems.

Forward Reports Fiscal 2012 Results
"To this end, we have recently implemented several key measures, such as partnering with an exclusive, Asia-based, sourcing agent that we believe will yield meaningful, long-term benefits, in terms of negotiating favorable material costs, improving the quality of our products, and diversifying our supplier base. We have also reduced our fixed overhead, by closing our offices in London, Dubai, Saarbrucken, and Santa Monica; relocating our corporate headquarters to West Palm Beach; and eliminating headcount dedicated to our retail business. A portion of these costs savings are being reinvested to expand and restructure our sales, design, customer service, finance and IT personnel focused on growing our OEM business. In addition, a rigorous cost rationalization plan is underway with regard to other components of our operating expenses, which we believe will result in a more streamlined and efficient use of our working capital.
"We continue to see the underlying strengths of our OEM business, as evidenced by the 29% sales growth achieved during fiscal 2012. However, we have also seen our margins compress in fiscal 2012. Our primary challenge is to restore our gross margins to levels achieved as recently as fiscal 2010, which we believe is attainable through our ongoing efforts to diversify our supplier and customer bases."
The tables below are derived from the Company's audited, consolidated financial statements included in its Annual Report on Form 10-K filed today with the Securities and Exchange Commission. Please refer to the Form 10-K for complete financial statements and further information regarding the Company's results of operations and financial condition relating to the fiscal years ended September 30, 2012 and 2011.

Wood Burning Stove Installation and Planning Permission
You are required to notify and obtain approval by your Local Authority Building Control department for many home jobs in order to make sure that the works carried out comply with the Building Regulations. Since 2005, this also counts for installation and replacement of a heating system or boiler including wood burning stoves.
What Happens if You Do Not Notify Your Local Authority Building Control Department about Wood Burning Stove Installation?
A certification that your newly installed wood burning stove complies with the Building Regulations of course involves a fee which further increases the costs of installation. But what if you install your new wood burning stove without notifying your Local Authority Building Control department? After all, how will they know? There are several reasons why this is not a good idea including:
The risk of a fine. If you do not obtain an approval for installation of your wood burning stove by the Building Control, it is not legal. If your Local Authority Building Control department finds out about it, you can be fined up to £5,000. The certification that the newly installed stove complies with the Building Regulations, on the other hand, will probably cost you less than £300, so it really is not worth to take the risk.
Installation may not be safe. The Building Regulations are not intended just to charge home owners for works in their homes but to ensure their own and the general population's safety. If the work is not inspected and approved by the Building Control department, you cannot really know for sure that the stove is installed safely. And besides posing a potential risk to your health and property, the installation may not meet energy efficiency standards.
Problems with insurance claims. Many insurance companies want to know about works in your home such as installation of a wood burning stoves. And this includes documentation that the work complies with the Building Regulations. Obviously, you cannot tell your insurance company that you have installed a wood burning stove that was not approved by the Building Control which in turn can cause you serious problems with insurance claims.
Problems when selling your home. If you ever decide to sell your home, you will highly likely to be asked to provide documentation that it meets the Building Regulations. But if you do not notify the Building Control department about wood burning stove installation, you obviously will not be able to provide all the necessary certificates.
Our Advice
We strongly advise you to notify your Local Authority Building Control department about installation of a wood burning stove or have it installed by a registered installer from a Competent Person Scheme such as Hetas if you live in England or Wales, or INFO if you live in Ireland for instance. In the latter case, you do not have to tell the Building Control department about installation of a new stove because registered installers from a Competent Person Scheme are allowed to self-certificate their work and will take care of the necessary documentation for you.

The Wii-port from NYC: T minus 6 hours
New Yorkers wait for Nintendo's new console.
NEW YORK--Let me tell you, it's a very different scene from the PlayStation 3 launch on Thursday night. The official Nintendo Wii launch site, at the Toys 'R' Us store in Times Square (yeah, the one with a fully ride-able Ferris wheel inside) has only had a line in front of it for about 24 hours. When I told a few of the kids in line that I'd covered the PS3 launch and talked to fans who'd waited about 80 hours for Sony's console, one of them rolled his eyes and said, "We're not like those freaks."
Just think, they didn't even have to miss a day of school! Stay tuned for more coast-to-coast Wii-actions, and plenty more bad puns on the word "Wii," from Crave and News.com.

text: The Husker Basketball team is finished after one game in the NCAA Tournament. Nebraska coach Tim Miles was ejected from the Cornhuskers' West Region game against Baylor after getting whistled for two technical fouls in the second half. Miles drew his second technical for unsportsmanlike conduct with 11:17 left in the game and Nebraska losing 50-32. He walked off the court, shaking his head and smiling. It wasn't immediately clear what he said or did to draw the foul, but he had walked nearly to midcourt before the whistle. Miles' first infraction came when he complained about a foul called on a Nebraska's Terran Petteway barely two minutes earlier.

So Joe was once again caught lying to his teacher, and his teacher Mr. Rogers had enough. "Come here Joe" he said. "Here is your punishment, I want you to make a statement, if it's true you get detention, if it's false you get suspended."
Q. What did the Joe say that caused him not to get punished at all?

Concierge.com's insider take:
Just when you think this ex-bordello in the heart of the Eighth Arrondissement has had its day, it becomes popular again. There's something about the tiny space still kitted out in the louche accoutrements of its former existence (red velvet, black ceilings, fringe) that makes people want to let their hair down; the peep-show vitrines hidden away behind the stage are now empty, but the hard-dancing clientele put on their own show to the live rock and occasional electronica. The crowd is a cross-section of label-obsessives and models (and their inevitable chasers). Mick Jagger even celebrated his birthday here when he was in town.

I had such high hopes for this product and it turned out to be a MASSIVE disappointment! I've tried to work with it so many times but it's just a disaster every time. At first I was like, "Oh great! This felt tip makes it so easy to draw-" Before I knew it, the tip began to run out of ink and dry out. So it would be a constant cycle of putting the lid back on and waiting for it to "recharge" but after that, it will dry even faster each time or nothing will come out. Usually I like to go over any bumps and unevenness but when I did that, the eyeliner that was on my eyelid began to flake off. Waste of $16.
I did like this but found that it did not even last half my day. Sometimes I could look in the mirror and whole sections would be gone or smudeged onto to my lids. Also the color is that that pigmented I like really dark liners and this was kind of sheer.
More reviews by MrsBaddieBrown
Oh boy where do I begin... it's a love hate relationship we have so ill start with the hate. I brought the 3 in 1 eyeliner, marker and khol set. The marker leaks and needs to shaken madly from one eye to the next. I have to apply the marker 2 to 3 times to achieve my minimal look. The eyeliner was broken when I brought it. Imagine opening it for the first time and half your product goes flying across your vanity. Tragedy it was!!! I placed it back in and use carefully. The love. It doesn't tug on my lid and its easy to handle cause it's a bit fatter which I like. It stays on and stays put till it's time to remove which I like. The liner and khol glide on which is awesome and if you have shakey hands like I do, the clean up if u slip is easy and doesn't stain the eye area. I can only hope they improve the product because I wanna really love it. I'd buy it again but only if I can't find another product to do the job.
I was never sure whether or not to buy this product, but now that I have tried it out, I'm probably never going to pick it up again. It is literally like a dried out sharpie to me. It also tugs at your eyelids for every stroke you make. Surprisingly, it lasted pretty long to me, but it just takes way too long just to get an OK cat eye.
didn't like this eyeliner at all. The color pay off sucks, and it can easily be wiped off with water. sure, it doesn't smear when you touch it but moisture will erase it instantly. it is so difficult to get the perfect wing without it looking like you used a big #2 pencil. I would not repurchase this liner again
I love the intensity of the color...exactly what I'm looking for. HOWEVER, the marker dries out VERY quickly - as in within the same application. I do tend to do very thick liner but was shocked to see how quickly it dried up! Sometimes I can't even get through my other eye. Did I simply buy an older product or does anyone know if the formula has improved??
1 out of 1 people found this review helpful. Did you? Yes No
I may be the Lone Ranger on this product but it works well for tightlining and doing a fine wing. I dont do heavy liner - just enough to accent my lashes in the corner and underneath.
My eyes are sensitive but this doesnt make them irritated or watery and it doesnt smudge or flake or run in the places I use it.
The tip is fine enough to get under the lashes and stiff enough to work with (not like a fine tipped brush which is too flimsy).
The color is a dense black and makes my blue eyes pop. Would buy again.
This product is so awful, and so the opposite of all the claims made on the packaging, that not only will I not buy again, I will never buy another Physicians Formula product again.
This is a felt tip pen and I've wanted one for a long time, as pencils and brush pens just haven't given me the look I want. Sadly, this one really did. But somehow PF found the uniquely bad combination of a smudgy/flaky liner that is not removable. The result is black flakes below my eyes that don't wash off or come off with makeup remover. I have sensitive eyes--I tried my usual removers--Shu Oil, micellar water, Dove soap--and the under eye flakes are there two days later.
The following claims on the package are flat-out lies:
Easily removed with your everyday, gentle eye makeup remover.
Won't smear, smudge or fade.
Wrong. Don't buy this.
I picked this up at the Dollar Tree so I didn't pay much for it. I'm glad I didn't pay full price because it doesn't really meet my expectations. I've been using Fabuliner by Jordana and it lasts forever. Not only will a pen last me a few months but it doesn't budge until I clean it off. This stuff is smudgy and the pen has only lasted about two to three weeks before it's all spotty on the second eye.
I wouldn't buy this again since I already love Fabuliner but hey, I'll try anything for a buck.
is Physician's Formula kidding us with this garbage?! i bought this after buying their Eye Booster Eyeliner + Serum, which i totally adore, but i thought this could also be a recruit to my makeup infantry ;) i adore a felt-tip eyeliner, except for the PF Eye Booster exception (which has tiny, pointed bristles that i actually love!), i always feel more comfortable using a felt-tip as i can get the perfect cat's eye, winged out look with a pen tip. not with this product. this eyeliner pen is AWFUL. first of all, it's not "Ultra Black" at ALL! more like a transparent PALE smokey gray. not what i'm looking for when i buy something that is labeled Ultra Black! the felt-tip is huge and you can't draw a small, narrow line with it to save your life. also, since it boasts "24 Hour Wear" on the packaging, i took my pointer finger and rubbed gently against where the liner had been applied to my eye about a half an hour ago and guess what? it came straight off. and i do NOT have oily eyes, i've never had a shadow crease on me, a liner smudge, and i've never had to wear a primer. so what i want to know if how they got this product out onto the market, and how are their women here who actually like it?!?! everyone has their own preference for makeup, but even the savviest makeup artist would have trouble getting a good look with this. i can't attest so it's overall wear time since i only just tried it on, but seeing as how a light touch with my finger took it completely off, i'd say it can last very long. so long PF Eye Definer, i'm RUNNING back to my Palladio Eye Ink and PF's Eye Booster Eyeliner + Serum. no looking back! i wil probably give this to my niece who will be thrilled with it.

Tamagotchi mounting a comeback on iOS and AndroidBandai has announced plans to resurrect Tamagotchi on iOS and Android devices. While the handheld digital pet never truly went away, its star certainly has faded since the late nineties.

Tamagotchi L.i.f.e. is said to feature a range of mini-games in addition to a retro mode reminiscent of the original toys. Oh boy, mini-games!

My experience is that political parties are actually rather keen to encourage diversity and participation. They aren't value-free vessels though, and the constraints on promoting people relate to the talents and experience, and 'fit' with the values of that party. In the Greens, 4 of 36, or slightly above 10% of ranked candidates are disabled. Two were very recent members, both encouraged and inspired by the success of a profoundly deaf Mojo Mathers, and the other was a long-standing member with a lot to give. I would encourage participation in parties, but put the caveat that only the exceptional (of any identity) get promoted quickly through the ranks.
I asked a friend in the sector recently what the sector's "minimum demands" were. He replied that there were no unified demands, as there were too many actors across a range of disabilities. As someone on the outside who would like to be supportive, I'd like to see a few clear messages and demands that crystalise political action.
Hard News: Friday Music: Good ideas and grumbles,

A tweet by Aaron Hawkins gives me an idea:
In the spirit of celebrating small victories, getting a bunch of @FishriderNZ tunes put up as DCC hold music cc @southernscoop
There's a lot music out there, and by now we're all entirely sick of Nature's Best (if we weren't within weeks or months). Is there any attempt from NZ labels like Arch Hill or Flying Nun to give their music to the people in this format? Hold music is hardly glamorous, but it is a source of revenue.
Hard News: Friday Music: Good ideas and grumbles,
Email Twitter
It's well established that venues make their money from alcohol (and in some places, food). Since rents are high and door takings are low, it makes sense to put the bands on later, in order to maximise revenue coming in over the bar.
The problem is that all of this has to compete with other forms of entertainment. It also has to compete with incomes that are pressured by high rents or mortgage repayments and other cost of living pressures.
Suddenly the dynamics of a live venue change, and its hospitability and warmth become important. Different things are going to work with different people, but having more formats with which to experience music is definitely a good thing. It isn't summer time year round, but most of the time I'd rather see the same band at 7pm outdoors at Splore.
I'm also in the position right now of organising a fundraising gig, in a traditional venue with a traditional format. In order to fill the venue sufficiently, we need a good headliner, or several relatively well known bands. We're getting there, but it's hard work - not many musicians guarantee a crowd. (The ones we know are all at a wedding that weekend...)
Hard News: Friday Music: Good ideas and grumbles,
Email Twitter
This is an interesting debate for me.
I think there are a few different things happening. Firstly, music is shifting on to computers and electronic devices. There are still plenty of radios in the country, and will be for many years, but the consumption of music is an entirely different thing than it was ten or even five years ago.
When I go out to a venue to pay money to see live music, I like to know that I'm going to get quality. That comes in the form of either reputation, or having heard their music - usually on Active or bFM. I don't have a radio at the moment having come back from overseas it is a priority but nowhere near the top - therefore that sound isn't getting through to me yet. A radio is no longer an essential item for young people, and that makes a difference.
I imagine that most New Zealanders are in a position where they are affected by these. Shifting digitally, and underexposed to local music through radio. This is why things like the Audience ( which promoted here) are important, for creating spaces which people frequent and are able to expose themselves to content. That exposure then directly translates into familiarity and willingness to see musicians.
The functional death of the record store, and the end of free to air music television in New Zealand are both similarly contributing factors.
Speaker: Not even a statistic,

I don't try to teach them "just stop", instead I try to teach them that girls and women are people, human beings that deserve respect, kindness, and to be treated with dignity. Girls and women aren't objects for the male gaze, or toys for male pleasure.
And that women have empowerment and agency and sexuality, and that they can choose and enjoy. It's strongly inculcated ideas which repeated frequently enough can make a rape invisible, to a rapist, most a room of jurors, and on a bad day even the victim.

Mind you I've never run the numbers because I rent, which makes the whole thing a bit academic |:
Yeah. I think I'll have to get a hut in the sticks before I can afford to contemplate this kind of exercise. However, being small it won't demand such a large system.
Email Twitter
I think PV seems like the better option, and that internationally prices of modules are crashing. However, the "New Zealand markup" will be steep, and the installation will be a large part (possibly the majority) of the cost. I have not idea what the actual economics in an Auckland real-world situation stack up to.
Speaker: Why a renter died from turning…,
Email Twitter
When we increase the responsibilities of landlords this will become even more important. For example, we will require them to insulate their houses, and install and maintain long-life fire alarms. Houses lacking these also kill and injure people.
We've realised the connection between housing and people's health and wellbeing, and we are increasingly a nation of renters. I think we need a national register of rental properties and owners, and this is an excellent way to begin the conversation.

Thanks Chelle. As a (relatively) healthy able-bodied person, this is encouraging to me. It's interesting how these same things can hold us back, no matter our physical condition. I have a small thing which can cause enough pain and discomfort to make me feel a loss of control over many other things.
Definitely endorse Hilary's comment about Vit-D. Because of high UV levels New Zealanders don't get as much sunlight as they might otherwise, and vitamin D 3 and other sun synthesised hormones are often highly lacking. The further south you are, the more likely this is. Attempting to get sunlight and adding with supplementation is important for anyone, but particularly anyone with an immune condition. Interesting research suggests that depression itself is immune-linked.

Their obsession for the "right" results would also ignore the opportunity for upsets- of which there have been many.
One of the reasons football is so interesting is because it is the major sport in which the statistically weaker side is most likely to win. (Because of its low-scoring nature.)

Republican presidential candidate Vice President Richard M. Nixon wipes his face during the nationally televised first of four presidential debates with Sen. John F. Kennedy, Democratic nominee, in Chicago.
Gaffe: Richard Nixon's sweaty appearance in a pale gray suit vs. John Kennedy who was tanned and relaxed and wore a blue suit that provided a good contrast to the black and white screen.
Republican presidential hopeful Ronald Reagan stares back at John Anderson, Howard Baker, Robert Dole, and Phil Crane after the crowd asked that Reagan's mike be turned off and the other candidates cheered.
Gaffe: Ronald Reagan didn't know his microphone was on. When a moderator tried to silence Ronald Reagan's microphone during the Republican primary debate that he had personally financed, Reagan shouted, "I am paying for this microphone!" The line, as NBC's Brian Williams noted, became a "political home run" for Reagan, even though it wasn't actually his. He borrowed it from the 1948 film State of the Union.
President Jimmy Carter, left, and Republican Presidential candidate Ronald Reagan, shake hands in Cleveland, Ohio, before debating infront of a nationwide television audience.
Gaffe: Jimmy Carter's comment that he had discussed nuclear deterrence with his daughter, Amy, then 12. That led to Republican ridicule.
Massachusetts Gov. Michael Dukakis and U.S. Representative Richard Gephardt (D-Mo.) greet each other before their debate on the campus of Drake University in Des Monies, Iowa.
Gaffe: Michael Dukakis showed little emotion when asked by a TV panelist whether his opposition to capital punishment would stand if his wife were raped and murdered. Dukakis answered dispassionately and stood by his position. "Governor, if Kitty Dukakis were raped and murdered, would you favor an irrevocable death penalty for the killer?" Dukakis: "No, I don't, Bernard. And I think you know that I've opposed the death penalty during all of my life. I don't see any evidence that it's a deterrent, and I think there are better and more effective ways to deal with violent crime."
Sen. Lloyd Bentsen, left, and Sen. Dan Quayle shake hands after their vice presidential debate in Omaha, Neb.
Gaffe: Dan Quayle tried to compare himself to John F. Kennedy.Democratic candidate Lloyd Bentsen suggested that Republican candidate Dan Quayle didn't have enough experience to serve as vice president.Quayle: "I have as much experience in the Congress as Jack Kennedy did when he sought the presidency."Bentsen: "I knew Jack Kennedy; Jack Kennedy was a friend of mine. Senator, you're no Jack Kennedy."
President George H.W. Bush glances at his watch during a presidential debate at the University of Richmond's Robins Center with Independent candidate Ross Perot at right.
Gaffe: George H. W. Bush appeared to be disengaged when he twice looked at his watch during a verbal spar with Bill Clinton and Ross Perot.
James Stockdale reacts during the debate in Atlanta at Georgia Tech. At left is Vice President Quayle.
Gaffe: Adm. James Stockdale, Ross Perot's vice presidential running mate, fumbled his introduction. It turns out that he had been told about the debate only a week before.Stockdale: "Who am I? Why am I here? I'm not a politician."
Republican presidential candidate Texas Gov. George W. Bush, left, speaks while Democratic presidential candidate Vice President Al Gore listens during the debate at Washington University in St. Louis.
Gaffe: Several times during the debate, Gore noted his disapproval of Bush's responses by sighing loudly in the background. Many believe the sighs and body language hurt his White House bid.

WHITNEY -- "I was very shocked that it's happening right here in this small town, we just don't have stuff like that going on around here."
This is the reaction of most people living in and around Whitney after a local teenager was shot and killed in the back, allegedly by her own father.
"What was so bad that he felt that he had to shoot her like that? It's sad."
Edwin Collins, 40, may have believed someone was trying to hurt him and his family. So he took Judith, 14, Logan, 11 and Alex, 17, in a mini-van toward the family store "Collins Hitching Post" on FM 933 and 1713, with a 12-gauge shotgun in hand.
Once outside the store Collins told his kids to move, but when Judith screamed, he shot in her direction, shooting her in the back when she was standing only 10 feet away.
"There's just no way of knowing who's going to do what at any one time."
Collins went to the Hill County Sheriff's Office and admitted to deputies he shot his daughter and his son led them to her body in a field right outside the store.
Judith's body has been sent to Dallas for autopsy and Collins is behind bars with his bail set at 5 million dollars.
But the question still stands as to whether or not the shooting was accidental.

The LED Camera Light Shootout…
...that I wish I had gotten to first!
By Bruce A Johnson | January 04, 2011
A guy named Frank Glencairn, whom I think is in England somewhere, has gone and done what we've all thought about:
A shootout between five inexpensive LED sunguns.
(OK, so maybe the term "inexpensive" doesn't quite stretch to cover the Litepanels LP Micro, but I digress.)
The shootout is pretty well done, and even includes a video at the end. But you can look at the video right here:
Cheap LED VIdeo Lights Shootout. from Frank Glencairn on Vimeo.

Interesting! Also check out http://www.oscars.org/science-technology/council/projects/ssl/index.html They .don't say whose light they're using, but the video clips show the sorts of pitfalls that can occur using Solid State Lighting, e.g., LEDs.
Rob: | January, 05, 2011
Price doesn't tell you everything but here's some that I found.
YONGNUO 135-LED $66 USD on eBay
YONGNUO YN-160 $75 USD on eBay
Litepanels Micro LED On-Camera Light $260 on BHPhoto
Fillini z96 $120 AUD on eBay
A better test would measure color temperature and give us luminance figures too. Build quality is a factor as well. For example the Lightpanels unit on BH Photo had adapters for various standard DV batteries. Still, I could buy three YONGNUO YN-160 units for the price of one Lightpanels unit.
Just kind of thinking out loud.
Rob: | January, 05, 2011
@Adam Wilt—Wow! The article you pointed to was an eye-opener ... especially the page on "Solid State Lighting Assessment Technical Information" here:
The split Macbeth charts clearly showed the difference between the studio tungsten and the "apparent white light" from the various LED technologies commonly used.
I can see that if you have to match shots made with tungsten to shots made with LEDs then you might have a bit of extra post work to do.
What I don't have the experience to know is, if you shoot with all the same kind of LED lights, will anybody really notice?
Also, with the color grading tools commonly available now, can you "fix" anything that is really noticeable in the final product?
Rob: | January, 05, 2011
In reference to my post above ... as an engineer I went right to the technical page. Big mistake. Look at the actual tests on the right side of the page Adam linked to ... the makeup, costume and props tests.
What I learned from these is that you can't trust what you see on set using solid state lighting. The shot will look okay to the eye but may not come out as you expect in the end.
Now I'd like to see similar tests with various florescent lighting bulbs. Do they have the same issues?
Adam Wilt: | January, 05, 2011
A lot of things can be "fixed in post", but the real issue is to be aware of the spectral characteristics of your lighting and to make sure you pick props, paint, costumes, and makeup using the same light you're shooting under. If your makeup rooms use the same instruments your studios do, a lot of the problems can be avoided, instead of having to be fixed!
Having said that, there are spectral gaps and spikes in the light from many of these instruments (LEDs and many fluoros, too) that can't be easily worked around or fixed. Green spikes, red deficits, and an excess or absence of UV (which causes subsurface glow in skin, and adds luster to many dyes and fabrics) can all cause divergence from the desired rendering that may be difficult or almost impossible to correct sufficiently.
Yet it's true: what shows up onscreen is what counts; if it looks radically different from the rendering under incandescents, but is nonetheless pleasing to the eye and supports the tone of the story, then that's all that matters. One of the advantages of electronic production is that you can see what you've got right away (or at least after a quick decode/deBayer/color-correct/add-LUT pass if you're shooting RED, S-Log, or LogC), so you can catch this stuff live instead of waiting for film dailies. Does the old mantra of "test, test, test…" ring any bells?
As to LED quality of light / CRI, Litepanels is passable fair and getting better; Gekko Tech has some pretty good looking stuff, and the new stuff from Mole, Nila, Arri, and the like is worth keeping on top of. The cheap Chinese knock-offs I've seen have been rather less good in this respect. All IMHO, of course, just based on looking at stuff at shows and using some Litepanels instruments on gigs (I own a couple of Litepanel micros and the studio has a 1x1).
For fluoros, Videssence and Kino Flo have spent a lot of time dialing in their phosphor mix and fine-tuning their fixtures to get decent color. We have Diva-Lite 400s and VistaBeam 600s and are well pleased with them and I expect we'll add more Kino kit in the next year. I've heard of varying levels of satisfaction with other fluoro vendors; again, the general rule seems to be that you get what you pay for. Overall, the same issues exist with fluoros, but they seem to be a bit better understood / compensated for; perhaps just because, as it's a more mature technology, the vendors have had more opportunity to sand off the rough edges.
All IMHO again!
The quality of light is a critical factor in making good images, and different folks have different criteria by which they judge an instrument and its light acceptable. Once you mix in the different spectral responsiveness of the different sensors and/or film stocks and how they interact with the different lights, there's no way to make a one-size-fits-all judgement. Sorry, but it all comes down to just being aware of the possible pitfalls, and then testing the lights, cameras / films, fabrics and makeup you're looking at to see if they play well together.
