opening gzipped JSON files
I have a project where the input JSON file is almost 7 MB. I keep this project in my Dropbox folder, so that 7 MB text file seems to be a waste. Any way to reduce its size?
I zipped it up with gzip: "
gzip -9 input.json". This command produced a 1.3 MB "input.json.gz" file and deleted the original. Good. But how to open it in Python?
Normal way (without gzip):
import json with open("input.json") as f: d = json.load(f)
Compressed way (with gzip):
import json import gzip with gzip.open("input.json.gz", "rb") as f: d = json.loads(f.read().decode("ascii"))
I didn't notice any performance penalty. The application that first reads this json file starts as fast as before.
pyvenv: create virtual environmets for Python 3.4+
For creating virtual environmets, I've used
virtualenvwrapper so far. However, Python 3.4 contains the command
pyvenv that does the same thing. Since it also installs
pip in the virt. env., it can replace
I like to store my virtual environments in a dedicated folder, separated from the project directory. virtualenvwrapper, by default, stores the virt. env.'s in the
~/.virtualenvs folder. Since I got used to this folder, I will continue to keep my virt. env.'s in this folder.
Say we have our project folder here:
~/python/webapps/flasky_project. Create a virt. env. for this the following way:
pyvenv ~/.virtualenvs/flasky_project
It will create a Python 3 virt. env.
virtualenv / virtualenvwrapper
For the sake of completeness, I also write here how to create virt. env.'s with virtualenv and virtualenvwrapper:
# blog post: http://goo.gl/oEdtT3 # virtualenvwrapper for Python 3 or Python 2 mkvirtualenv -p `which python3` myenv3 mkvirtualenv -p `which python2` myenv2 # virtualenv for Python 3 or Python 2 virtualenv -p python3 myproject3 virtualenv -p python2 myproject2 # When the env. is created, activate it # and launch the command python within. # Verify if it's the correct version.
If you use Python 3.4+ and you need a virt. env., use the command "

XML to dict / XML to JSON
You have an XML file and you want to convert it to dict or JSON.
Well, if you have a dict, you can convert it to JSON with "
json.dump()", so the real question is: how to convert an XML file to a dictionary?
There is an excellent library for this purpose called xmltodict. Its usage is very simple:
import xmltodict # It doesn't work with Python 3! Read on for the solution! def convert(xml_file, xml_attribs=True): with open(xml_file) as f: d = xmltodict.parse(f, xml_attribs=xml_attribs) return d
This worked well under Python 2.7 but I got an error under Python 3. I checked the project's documentation and it claimed to be Python 3 compatible. What the hell?
The error message was this:
Traceback (most recent call last): File "/home/jabba/Dropbox/python/lib/jabbapylib2/apps/xmltodict.py", line 247, in parse parser.ParseFile(xml_input) TypeError: read() did not return a bytes object (type=str) During handling of the above exception, another exception occurred: Traceback (most recent call last): File "./xml2json.py", line 27, in <module> print(convert(sys.argv[1])) File "./xml2json.py", line 17, in convert d = xmltodict.parse(f, xml_attribs=xml_attribs) File "/home/jabba/Dropbox/python/lib/jabbapylib2/apps/xmltodict.py", line 249, in parse parser.Parse(xml_input, True) TypeError: '_io.TextIOWrapper' does not support the buffer interface
I even filed an issue ticket :)
After some debugging I found a hint here: you need to open the XML file in binary mode!
XML to dict (Python 2 & 3)
So the correct version that works with Python 3 too is this:
import xmltodict def convert(xml_file, xml_attribs=True): with open(xml_file, "rb") as f: # notice the "rb" mode d = xmltodict.parse(f, xml_attribs=xml_attribs) return d
XML to JSON (Python 2 & 3)
If you want JSON output:
import json import xmltodict def convert(xml_file, xml_attribs=True): with open(xml_file, "rb") as f: # notice the "rb" mode d = xmltodict.parse(f, xml_attribs=xml_attribs) return json.dumps(d, indent=4)
catch the output of pprint in a string
If you have a large nested data structure (e.g. a list or dictionary), the
pprint module is very useful to nicely format the output.
However, "
pprint.pprint" prints directly to the stdout. What if you want to store the nicely formatted output in a string?
Use "
pprint.pformat" instead.
>>> import pprint >>> d = {"one": 1, "two": 2} >>> pprint.pprint(d) {'one': 1, 'two': 2} >>> s = pprint.pformat(d) >>> s "{'one': 1, 'two': 2}"
Well, this is a small example, the real pretty formatting is not visible, but you get the point :)

Door will not close, what do I check next?
I hope someone has an idea, not sure where to go from here.
We just finished a bathroom budget remodel. The last thing for me to do was repaint the door and change out the hardware. I set the door on some sawhorses, put on 2 thin coats of paint with a roller and brush, and took the hinges to Lowes to be sure the replacements were exactly the same size.
And now the door does not close. The original hinges were not flush, the new ones fit just the same. But I went and got a chisel to make both sides of both hinges flush. Still does not close, the bottom third of the door is just barely hitting the frame on the strike plate side. There is no room at the bottom hinge to move the door.
What should I try next? It's the same door and the same size hinges that fit fine when I took it down. Could the paint make that much of a difference? I took out much more wood in the hinge area than the thickness of the paint.
Any suggestions?
Thanks, woodbutcher. Unfortunately there is not any room on the strike plate side on the top do do that. It just barely clears as it is. Plus on the hinge side while there is a gap up at the top hinge, there is very little gap at the bottom hinge. I'd be afraid to get it any closer for fear it would touch on that side too!
Still holding out hope there is another answer. I'd rather not have to shave the door, there has got to be some reason it all of a sudden doesn't fit. I must have overlooked something.
The door closed before you replaced the hinges. It does not close now.
The hinges are the problem. Just how the hinges are the problem is the question.
Are the new hinges the same thickness as the old ones?
Is the closed thickness the same? Sometimes hinges look the same, but have the pin set differently. Those hinges will not close completely and the halves be parallel. There is a gap when the hinge halves are parallel.
Those hinges will not replace flat closing hinges. They will push the door away from the hinge side towards the striker side.
The cure is to make the mortices(the cut out part of the frame/door in which the hinge sides are installed) deeper to allow the parallel when in the closed position. That means you have to actually cut out more material to allow the hinges to be below the surface.
So, is there no gap/air space between the jamb and door on the hinge side?
Paint can make a difference but only if the door was fitting tight to start with. One thing you can try is to remove the center screw on the lower hinge and replace it with a 3" wood screw. This will draw the hinge, and door, a little closer to the jamb and give you a little more clearance on the strike plate side. It's possible the hinge screws aren't stable so you may have to add a 3" screw to all the hinges.
Great suggestions, thank you! So here are a few pictures to help with the puzzle. I am reasonably certain the hinges are the same, they both fold flat when not attached to anything, they are the same thickness (though I already removed material from the mortise (see, learning already!) on both sides to set them flush), and the curves around the pin look the same.
This is what the door looks like when pushed against the frame:
When closed, from the inside...notice the near lack of an air gap near the bottom, but it gets wider as you move up the door:
And the new, installed hinge, compared to the old hinge when the door is forced closed (yes, I know the pins is not quite in all the way, i've had the door off and on so many times I am digging up the pin top with the pliers quite a bit and don't push it the last little bit now):
The best I can tell, these hinges look the same as the old ones, and when closed have the same spacing as the ones on the other doors in the house. So which fix might help? I'm really starting to think little gnomes came in the night and changed out the door!
Ok, the hinges are the same.
Now, look at your last picture--the one with you holding the old hinge next to the door.
See the gap between the hinge and the door frame? That gap should not be there. First thing to try is the 3" screw idea in the bottom hinge. That should make a difference.
Just a thought...You stated:
The original hinges were not flush, the new ones fit just the same.
Check your door opening. See if it is square. See if your actual door is actually the same dimension top and bottom. Just wonder, since there was no mortised area that you have the door installed upside down. Did you mark the top? If it is upside down your new mortised areas are on the wrong side.
Well, the hinges sit flush with the frame or door, that gap I believe is due to my lack of chisel skills and the hard time I had due to the door frame. I will pick up some 3 in screws and see if that helps.
I did not mark the top, but all the rest of the doors have the same orientation with the small panels at the top, and there was a spot cut out for the hinges, they just weren't deep enough hence the new chisel. If the hinges are in the same spot as before, would it be possible to not put it on the right way? To keep the knob on the correct side, wouldn't that make the hinges face the wrong way? Well, i'll have to think on that in the am. Too late to be flipping doors around in my head, not a good visualizer normally, let alone right before bed!
Housefairy, it may be because it's late, but I'm not sure what you are getting at with the measurements. Given this house, I would actually be surprised if everyhing was square! This is the same door that had been hanging there, I just took it down for 2 days to paint it and change out the hardware.
I think I am missing something?
Thanks so much for everyone's suggestions! I'm really hoping longer screws do it, I have had them in and out several times for this project trying to figure this out. I just keep thinking it HAS to fit, there's no logical reason it shouldn't fit. Very frustrating as this door is the only thing keeping me from declaring this remodel DONE!
The reason I wanted you to check the measurements is because your opening is probably not square. Trying to determine if the door has been shaved off, thus wondering if you have it turned upside down.
Good luck. It's always the little projects, that you think will be a snap, that seem to cause the most problems.
Williamsem, okay I missed the statement where you said there was different panels on top and bottom. You can't fully see the top panels in the pictures.
Hopefully the screws will work. Make sure both hinges are mortised the same. Obviously if one is deeper that will affect the way it hangs.
Hi Wow! We all got different ideas. You know football season is comming up so I'm in favor of just fixing it. Plane the door. If you think you can get by with just planning the lower part on the lock side go for it.DO NOT plane the whole side by the lock set, you will change the back set. Remove the hinges and plane that side just go easy. The shavings are hard to glue back on.
Good Luck Woodbutcher
So I have purchased a hand planer and some long screws. I am currently taking a little break from the door puzzle for more pressing issues, but will resume this battle in two weekends (at a conference this coming weekend).
I was certain the chisel would fix things, so it was very demoralizing to see it did not. Just need a break to regroup and recharge. I know it's not a huge problem, but after having the whole room ripped apart and being so close to completely finished, it was just more frustrating than it should be.
Will update when I resume the battle, I sincerely appreciate all the help. Hoping the third times is the charm!
Before planing the door-
Take the hinges off the door and "dry-fit" the door in the frame-
Does it fit square?
Are there minimal gaps between door and frame?
If not- we need to figure out why-
Was the frame changed/moved/repaired during your remodel?
Was the door taken outside in high humidity to be painted and left out? (may just need to dry out)
Obviously, something has changed- a door does not "grow" in size, unless you used several real HEAVY coats of paint!
Ok, back with an update. Turns out my conference was cut short due to the unexpected death of my grandmother, so this project went on long term hiatus to deal with that.
Around the beginning of this year the door actually started to close with some force, though it was rubbing on the hinge side. So it must have needed to dry out. Called in my Mom for back up to finish this once and for all!
Checked the hinges. Checked the frame. Checked everything we could think of, could not figure out why the door wasn't fitting right anymore.
So I learned how to use a hand plane to plane a door. While it relly wasn't that much that came off, I was surprised at how much had to come off to close right. More than the depth if the paint. And on both sides of the door from the bottom hinge down. Puzzling!
But now it closes! And the hinges match. New knob assembly is in too. I was so excited, I popped the assembly in and pushed the door closed to make sure it would still close and latch properly before I had the doorknobs on! We both realized almost instantly that I had just locked us in! It only took about 3 seconds for me to stick the knob in and open the door, but boy we busted a gut laughing!
Now I just have to paint the newly exposed wood...

We live in a strange time. The stats tell us that investing in higher education is one of the best investments that an individual can make, yet so many young people are saddled by student loans and under or unemployment. Something is going to have to change, and I'm not sure what it will be. American Student Assistance is an organization that will likely play a role in the change. They're a Boston, MA based "private nonprofit whose public purpose mission is to empower students and alumni to successfully manage and repay their college loan debt." ASA was founded in 1956 as the Massachusetts Higher Education Assistance Corporation and has served as a loan guarantor for much of its history. That ended in 2008 with a change in Federal law, but it hasn't stopped American Student Assistance from offering SALT, its "innovative financial literacy and default prevention program."
It's a bit hard to grasp the entirety of American Student Assistance's History without having a pretty good understanding of how the student loan system works, but it's still worth reading through. But now ASA seems to be all about SALT, so watch this brief introductory video to get a better idea of what SALT is (click here if it doesn't show up):
As you can see, it's all about "providing student loan education, and enabling the development of financial competencies through the use of innovative web-based tools and trusted, neutral advice." If that sounds like something that you'd want to work on, take a look at ASA's Jobs page. Right now there are a few positions worth considering including Consolidation/Rehabilitation Assistant, Software Engineer, Privacy Analyst, and Campus Engagement and Education Consultant. They also offer paid internships if you're not quite a fit for any of these positions.

Landlord due back in court for case over sewage at apartment complex
URBANA — A Champaign County landlord who was convicted Wednesday of renting out a condemned apartment was in court again Thursday on charges that raw sewage is overflowing at his apartment complex near Rantoul.
Bernard Ramos, 36, was found guilty in a bench trial of criminal housing management Wednesday for renting an apartment with health and safety hazards at 709 W. Church St., C.
On Thursday, Bernard Ramos, and his father, Eduardo Ramos, appeared in court to answer charges that a septic system is leaking sewage at Cherry Orchard Village apartments, located on U.S. 45, just south of Rantoul village limits.
The father-and-son landlord team must return to court in two weeks with an attorney to enter their plea regarding a 3-year-old complaint by the state Department of Public Health. Judge John Kennedy denied their request for a one-month extension after admonishing them several times for interrupting him and talking during courtroom proceedings.
"I've seen you in this court before," Kennedy told Bernard Ramos. "You interrupt judges all the time. You're not going to do it today."
Bernard Ramos and his father own apartment buildings and rental houses in Champaign, Urbana and Rantoul. Last year, the city of Champaign fined the landlords $15,345 for renting out two condemned apartments on Green Street.
At Cherry Orchard Village apartments, state health inspectors first found black sludge overflowing from a septic tank into a nearby field three years ago. Because the property is in an unincorporated area of the county, the state health department regulates the septic system.
Assistant State's Attorney Christina Papavasiliou said the health department referred the case to her office after the landlords repeatedly failed to fix the sewer system. She said the defendants claim they have fixed the problem, but it continues to occur.
"We try to work with people," she said. "The legal process is a last resort. We will be able to prove willful disregard of the problem."
Both Bernard Ramos and Eduardo Ramos declined comment.
Last year, members of the Champaign County Board toured Cherry Orchard Village and observed numerous safety issues, board member Stan James said. In addition to junk cars and trash, he said, he observed an extension cord that was plugged in upstairs being used to power appliances in a downstairs apartment.
Residents live at the complex year-round, but its occupancy balloons in the summer and fall, when migrant workers from Texas and Mexico travel here with their families for field and harvest work.
James, who represents Rantoul on the county board, said unlike city laws, Champaign County ordinances do little to protect the health and safety of renters who live in the county. He has proposed drafting ordinances that would address public health and safety issues at rental properties and has called for more enforcement of existing state laws.
Some board members, however, are reluctant to enforce existing codes or enact new ones, James said, because "they're concerned about inspectors going overboard."
"I drove by there the other day and I'm thinking to myself, 'My God, how much longer are people going to live there until something happens?'"
Bernard and Eduardo Ramos are due back in court March 19 for the sewage complaint. If the landlords are found guilty, they could face a fine of up to $500 a day. Papavasiliou of the state's attorney's office said she could also seek an injunction barring anyone from living at the complex.
Bernard Ramos is scheduled to be sentenced for the misdemeanor conviction of criminal housing management on April 16. He could face up to 364 days in jail, two years of probation and a $2,500 fine.

Half the battle is won when you select the right keywords; here's how.
In the e-commerce world, golden keywords are defined as the search teams typed in by customers but not by visitors when using a search engine to find a company's website. So while standard keywords deliver visitors, golden keywords deliver customers who take action to purchase. In the branding world where sometimes e-commerce is not available on a company's product websites, we define golden keywords as the must-own search terms that help close the loop for buyers to convert potential users to buyers from a branding perspective.
Half the success of a search campaign starts from selecting the right golden keywords. Currently in the search world, people sometimes adopt the "long-hand" approach, which is to use search engines' keyword tools to identify words and phrases that have substantial traffic and a low number of websites competing for them. Our team analysed this method and named it as popularity-competitiveness method. Another similar method available in the market is called KEI (keyword effectiveness index). In essence, this method uses the same two elements, popularity and competitiveness, and establishes an 'index' by getting the ratio of popularity vs competitiveness. A higher KEI means a better rating keyword.
The above methods have the same limitation, i.e., containing only two consideration factors. We agree that popularity (number of visits per month) and competitiveness (number of advertisers) are good indicators of keyword potential. However, we believe other elements such as commerciality must be considered because they play an equally important role in determining keyword effectiveness. Therefore, our team developed an improved method for golden keyword research and selection: the gold-mining method.
Our new method mandates the systematic consideration of the following consideration factors: search volume, relevancy, competition, and commerciality.
Having served many top-class branding advertisers in the consumer package goods category, we learned that relevancy is most important and popularity comes second. Competition is the least priority, because in the fast moving consumer goods industry, securing a brand's own territory is crucially important to win the category battlefield even if it costs a lot.
Based on our gold-mining method, a proven golden keywords strategy has been developed.
Now that we have selected golden keywords based on our gold-mining method, we need to categorise them by level of priority:
We used the above gold-mining method and strategy for our biggest branding client's search campaigns. Within less than two months, 95 percent of industry keyword coverage was owned by our client compared to an average of 50 percent of other main competitors. We secured 99 percent-plus impression share for golden keywords compared to an average of 58 percent than other main competitors in the market. We achieved over 1 million visits to the new product website with CPC 24 percent lower and CTR 154 percent higher than industry benchmark. During the holiday period, the holiday-related keyword ad group performed even more impressively with CPC 100 percent lower and CTR 92 percent higher than KPI.
For brand advertisers, search is a gold mine. And yes, we can dig it as long as we truly understand client's brand equity, deeply study client's product features, and thoughtfully analyse search user behaviour.

1. Field of the Invention
This invention relates to the field of orthopedic surgery and, particularly to modular screws having a polyaxial head.
2. Description of the Prior Art
It is conventional to install surgical appliances, such as rods or plates, to correct skeletal deformities and injuries in which the appliance spans several vertebrae. The surgical appliance is secured to the vertebrae and maintains a stable spatial relationship between them. Pedicle screws are inserted into the vertebrae to anchor the appliance in place. Because of the non-uniform anatomy of the vertebrae, the screws are usually misaligned relative to each other. To compensate for these variances, the rods may be bent to match the location of the screws or the screws may have connectors capable of angular displacement to engage the rods or both.
For example, U.S. Pat. No. 6,669,697 to Pisharodi teaches the use of eccentric shims between the bone screws and the surgical appliance to correct the angle between the rod and the screw. Shluzas, U.S. Pat. No. 6,648,888, teaches a bone screw with a spherical head rotating in a tapered connector. The connector has opposing tabs to capture the spinal rod and a set screw to hold the rod in the yoke. Reissued patent, U.S. Pat. No. RE37,665, teaches another spherical headed screw with a swiveling connector having an upstanding yoke capturing a spinal rod. Varieur, U.S. Pat. No. 6,641,586, teaches another spherical headed bone screw and an upstanding yoke retainer for the surgical appliance. The retainer has an internal nut and an external ring threaded onto the yoke to secure the appliance. These devices all have a multitude of small parts that must be assembled at the surgical site.
The polyaxial screw of the instant invention has a helical screw shaft for securing the screw to bone. One end of the shaft has a reverse tapered head tapering toward and away from the shaft from an enlarged median. A spherical shaped swivel, having an opening smaller than the median, is placed over the head to rotatably engage the shaft. The swivel frictionally engages the head. A connector with a dome shaped cavity on one end and bifurcated tabs on the other is connected with the swivel and tightened in place with a set screw and guide ring. An appliance is held between the bifurcated tabs. The tabs are frangible to reduce the profile above the appliance.
It is therefore an objective of this invention to provide a modular polyaxial screw assembly having a few large parts which can be easily handled and quickly connected during surgery.
It is another objective of this invention to provide a polyaxial screw assembly having the ability of being angularly fixed in place and connected to a surgical appliance with one tool.
It is another objective of this invention to provide a low profile surgical appliance.
It is yet another objective of this invention to provide a device to prevent cross threading of components.
It is a further objective of this invention to provide an assembly permitting a small screw head.
It is still another objective of this invention to provide a bone screw that creates a buttress seat in the vertebrae through rotation of an integral flange.
Other objectives and advantages of this invention will become apparent from the following description taken in conjunction with the accompanying drawings wherein are set forth, by way of illustration and example, certain embodiments of this invention. The drawings constitute a part of this specification and include exemplary embodiments of the present invention and illustrate various objects and features thereof.
The polyaxial screw assembly 10, shown in
The bone screw 11, shown in
The swivel or collet 12, shown in
The connector 14 and the swivel 12 can be pre-assembled as a subassembly to reduce the work load at the surgical site. Of course, this modular construction provides the flexibility of changing the size screw to fit the anatomical requirements of the patient. Once the screw and collet are assembled, the collet can rotate around the longitudinal axis of the screw. This construction permits a smaller screw head than the conventional solid spherical screw heads. The modularity allows different sized screws and different sized collets to be mixed and matched, given that the shoulder 23 of the screw and the mouth 28 of the collet are relatively sized to snap fit.
A universal connector 14, as shown in
The swivel 12, ring 13, and the connector 14 may be pre-assembled with the screw 11 to provide a conveniently sized component for the surgeon's use. The continuous pathway through the tabs, the top of the dome, the ring, and the collet to the bore in the screw permits the assembly to be driven into the bone with one tool in one operation. The connector can then be rotated about the screw by means of the collet. The ball and socket fit between the connector and the collet allow universal movement in an arc of approximately 30 to 40 degrees.
In this manner, a surgical appliance, such as a spinal rod 17, may be attached between the tabs of several misaligned screws. A guide ring 15, shown in
The guide ring 15 is placed about the tabs 32 and 33 and secured in place to reinforce the connector 14 diametrically. The lock nut 16 is tightened to positively fix the connector and the swivel 12 in a particular angular orientation with the surgical appliance held in place by the lock nut. However, it is within the purview of this apparatus to use more than one lock nut or collars or circular shims to vertically adjust the level of the surgical appliance within the tabs. The collar 13 serves as a compression ring with an area contact on the collet.
Once the proper sized screws and connectors are selected for a surgical procedure, the pre-assembly of modules permits the surgeon to manipulate and install a relatively large component having the bone screw, the collet, the connector and the collar as a unit. A tool similar to a screw driver may be inserted through the tabs of the connector the opening in the collar, and the opening in the collet to drive the screw into the bone. The connector may then be maneuvered to put the surgical appliance between the tabs. The guide ring 15 is then placed over the tabs and the locking nut is threaded onto the tabs and tightened in place against the surgical appliance forcing the surgical appliance the collar and the connector into a fixed position.
In the preferred embodiment, the pedicle screw is placed in the vertebrae and the assembly 40 composed of the collet 12, the collar 13 and the connector 14 is snapped on the tapered head into groove 26. Collet ridge 29 will expand beyond shoulder 23 and settle into groove 26. This action is uni-directional and will not reverse back off screw body. A tool (not shown)can accomplish the assembly and disassembly, if necessary. The collet 12 has screw threads 43 in the top to permit a tool to be inserted to disassemble the device if removal becomes necessary. The connector assembly 40 can now swivel in a cone of approximately 50 degrees around the screw head. To achieve the desired position and lock it in place, rod 17 is placed between tabs 32, 33 and makes contact with collar 13. Following this action, the lock nut 16 and guide ring 15 are threaded down over tabs 32, 33 until seated firmly against rod 17. Pressure created and translated through rod 17 to collar 13 and collet 12 causes collet 12 to compress against cavity 30. As a result of screw head 20 being inserted into collet 12 during attachment, it will not allow collet 12 to compress to a diameter that will allow it to slip through cavity opening 31 because the diameter of collet 12 is greater than the diameter of the opening 31 due to the shoulder making the collet 12 a solid structure rather than a collapsible structure.
The tabs 32 and 33 are frangible at a point 57 along their length above the guide ring 15 to reduce the profile of the assembly after placement in the body. The tabs may be weakened by reduced thickness or other modification of the tabs. Further, there may be more than one level of frangibility to compensate for different surgical appliances and vertical adjustability of the placement.
Due to anatomical considerations, it is rare that a series of pedicle screws will be closely aligned once they are screwed into the vertebrae. To compensate for such misalignment, an off-set connector 14′ is shown in
The connector 14′ has an integral ring 60 with a bore 61 parallel to the opening 31′ of the dome shaped cavity. The tabs 32′, 33′ are formed with a closed bottom 62 of a diameter to pass through the bore 61. The closed bottom 62 has a groove 63 about its circumference. After assembly, the bottom protrudes beyond ring 60 and a retaining clip 64 is resiliently seated in the groove 63 to complete the assembly. The off-set connector and screw may be preassembled before surgery to avoid handling small components in the surgical field. As mentioned above, the preferred embodiment contemplates the pedicle screw being placed in the vertebrae, alone, with subsequent assembly of the device.
In the off-set screw head 14′, lock down between the screw 11 and the head 20 is accomplished by driving set screw 46 down to engage attached collar 13′. Pressure created and translated through set screw 46 onto collar 13′ and collet 12′ causes collet 12′ to compress against cavity 30′. As a result of screw head 20′ being inserted into collet 12′ during attachment, it will not allow collet 12′ to compress to a diameter that will allow it to slip through cavity opening 31′.
A number of embodiments of the present invention have been described. Nevertheless, it will be understood that various modifications may be made without departing from the spirit and scope of the invention. Accordingly, it is to be understood that the invention is not to be limited by the specific illustrated embodiment but only by the scope of the appended claims.

Think I picked cabinet pulls, finally!
williamsemMarch 13, 2013
Think we will go with the Amerock Westerly pulls. I have 3 drawer stacks that are 27-30 inches, so I'm thinking the 160 mm one for those (largest they make before the appliance pulls).
Now to figure out if I want pulls or knobs on the uppers, and what to do with the pull out units (12 in spice and tray, and 12 in pantry).
Style choices take me forever. Do these look ok together?

EhPosted Mar 22, 2015
Stayed here Monday through Wednesday. Their free breakfast is decent. They charge $10 for parking & the parking sucked. When we got back to the hotel after dinner there wasn't a single parking spot available. You'd think that there would be with them charging. Which is what I told the guy at the front desk & he said "There's another Best Western down the street. You can stay there." Rude. When I called in the morning to ask for towels they told me that they had no housekeeping until 7:30 so that if I needed them I needed to come down myself & get them. We did go to Disneyland one of the days we stayed there & the walk there wasn't too bad.

Perfect for our Disneyland vacationPosted Mar 18, 2015
Love that it was literally right across the street from Disneyland. About a 10 minute walk. The room looked newly remodeled. There was enough room to set up a pack n play for our baby. Good water pressue in the shower. The only thing is the bed is very bouncy, so when my husband would turn in his sleep, I could feel every move. Overall, the staff was friendly. Rooms were comfortable, and we were happy to stay there!

This Australian documentary, that has won praise from professionals in the field, highlights how real estate distorts the rest of the economy.

How economies work – and don't
shaped by reality. In the 1980′s, the Swedish government doubled its stock transfer tax. Tax receipts, however, rose only 15%, since traders simply fled to London exchanges. Fearing a further exodus, the Swedish government quickly rescinded the tax altogether. (The New York Times, April 20) That willingness to tax anything leads us astray. Pushing us astray is that unwillingness to pay what we owe: rent for land, our common heritage. Assuming land value is up for grabs, we speculate. We cap the property tax on both land and buildings and the rate at which assessments can go up; while real market values rise quicker, assessments can never catch up. Our stewards, the Bureau of Land Management, routinely sell and lease sites below market value, often to insiders, says the Government Accounting Office. Once we grasp that rent is ours to share, we'll collect it all, rather than let it enrich a few, and quit taxing earnings, which do belong to the individual earner. That shift is geonomic policy.
what you do when you see economies as part of the ecosystem, following feedback loops and storing up energy. Surplus energy – fat or profit – enables us to produce and reproduce. To recycle society's surplus, the commonwealth, geonomics would replace taxes with land dues (charged to users of sites and resources, including the EM spectrum, and extra to polluters), and replace subsidies with rent dividends to citizens (a la Alaska's oil dividend). Without taxes and subsidies to distort them, prices become precise, reflect accurately our costs and values; then, motivated by no more than the bottom line, both producers and consumers make sustainable choices. While no place uses geonomics in its entirety, some places use parts of it, most notably a shift of the property tax off buildings, onto locations. Shifting the property tax drives efficient use of land, in-fills cities, improves the housing stock, makes homes affordable, engenders jobs and investment opportunities, lowers crime, raises civic participation, etc – overall it makes cities more livable. Geonomics – a way to share the bounty of nature and society – is something we can work for locally, globally, and in between.
the policy that the earth's natural patterns suggests. Use the eco-system's self-regulating feedback loops as a model. What then needs changing? Basically, the flow of money spent to own or use Earth (both sites and resources) must visit each of us. Our agent, government, exists to collect this natural rent via fees and to disburse the collected revenue via dividends. Doing this, we could forgo taxes on homes and earnings and subsidies of either the needy or the greedy. For more, see our web site, our pamphlet of the title above, or any of our other lit pieces; ask for our literature list.
of interest to Dave Lakhani, President Bold Approach (Mar 8) and Matt Ozga (Jan 29): "I write for the Washington Square News, the student run newspaper out of New York University. Geonomics seems like it has great significance, especially in this area. When was geonomics developed, and by whom?" About 1982 I began. Two years later, Chilean Dr Manfred Max-Neef offered the term geonomics for Earth-friendly economics. In the mid-80s, a millionaire founded a Geonomics Institute on Middlebury College campus in Vermont re global trade. In the 1990s, CNBC cablecast a show, Geonomics, on world trade as it benefits world traders. My version of geonomics draws heavily from the American Henry George who wrote Progress & Poverty (1879) and won the mayoralty of New York but was denied his victory by Tammany Hall (1886). He in turn got lots from Brits David Ricardo, Adam Smith, and the French physiocrats of the 1700s. My version differs by focusing not on taxation but on the flow of rents for sites, resources, sinks, and government-granted privileges. Forgoing these trillions, we instead tax and subsidize, making waste cheap and sustainability expensive. To quit distorting price, replace taxes with "land dues" and replace subsidies with a Citizens Dividend. Matt: "This idea of sharing rents sounds, if not explicitly socialist, at least at odds with some capitalist values (only the strong survive & prosper, etc). Is it fair to say that geonomics has some basis in socialist theory?" A closer descriptor would be Christian. Beyond ethics into praxis, Alaska shares oil rent with residents, and they're more libertarian than socialist. While individuals provide labor and capital, no one provides land while society generates its value. Rent is not private property but public property. Sharing Rent is predistribution, sharing it before an elite or state has a chance to get and misspend it, like a public REIT (Real Estate Investment Trust) paying dividends to its stakeholders – a perfectly capitalist model. What we should leave untaxed are our sales, salaries, and structures, things we do produce.
a manual. The world did not come without a way for people to prosper, and the planet to heal and stay well; that way is geonomics. Economies are part of the ecosystem. Both generate surpluses and follow self-regulating feedback loops. A cycle like the Law of Supply and Demand is one of the economy's on/off loops. Our spending for land and resources – things that nobody made and everybody needs – constitutes our society's surplus. Those profits without production (remember, nobody produced Earth) can become our commonwealth. To share it, we could pay land dues in to the public treasury (wouldn't oil companies love that?) and get rent dividends back, a la Alaska's oil dividend. Doing so let's us axe taxes and jettison subsidies. Taxes and subsidies distort price (the DNA of exchange), violate quid pro quo by benefiting the well-connected more than anyone else, reinforce hierarchy of state over citizen, and are costly to administer (you don't really need so much bureaucracy, do you?). Conversely, land dues motivate people to not waste sites, resources, and the ecosystem while rent dividends motivate people to not waste themselves. Receiving this income supplement – a Citizens Dividend – people can invest in their favorite technology or outgrow being "economan" and shrink their overbearing workweek in order to enjoy more time with family, friends, community, and nature. Then in all that free time, maybe we could figure out just what we are here for.
the study of the money we spend on the nature we use. When we pay that money to private owners, we reward both speculation and over-extraction. Robert Kiyosaki's bestseller, Rich Dad's Prophecy, says, "One of the reasons McDonald's is such a rich company is not because it sells a lot of burgers but because it owns the land at some of the best intersections in the world. The main reason Kim and I invest in such properties is to own the land at the corner of the intersection. (p 200) My real estate advisor states that the rich either made their money in real estate or hold their money in real estate." (p 141, via Greg Young) When government recovers the rents for natural advantages for everyone, it can save citizens millions. Ben Sevack, Montreal steel manufacturer, tells us (August 12) that Alberta, by leasing oil & gas fields, recovers enough revenue to be the only province in Canada to get by without a sales tax and to levy a flat provincial income tax. While running for re-election, provincial Premier Ralph Klein proposes to abolish their income tax and promises to eliminate medical insurance premiums and use resource revenue to pay for all medical expense for seniors. After all this planned tax-cutting and greater expense, they still expect a large budget surplus. Even places without oil and gas have high site values in their downtowns, and high values in their utility franchises. Recover the values of locations and privileges, displace the harmful taxes on sales, salaries, and structures, then use the revenue to fund basic government and pay residents a dividend, and you have geonomics in action.
in part the Great Green Tax Shift maxed out. Economically, taxing pollution and depletion does reduce pollutants and extracts – and thus the tax base; plus such taxes are regressive, requiring a safety net. On the other hand, collecting site rent is progressive and generates a revenue surplus payable as a dividend to residents, which can serve as the safety net. Environmentally, taxes on waste and extraction do not drive efficient use of land, as does getting site rent.
a way to connect the dots. Making the cyber rounds is "The Cavernous Divide" by Scott Klinger, from AlterNet (posted March 21): "As the number of billionaires in the world expands, so does the number of those in poverty." Duh. The yawning income gap is not news. Nearly every issue of our quarterly digest carries a similar quote. Yet the connection was worked out long ago by one of America's greatest thinkers, Henry George, who labeled his masterpiece, Progress and Poverty. Techno- and socio-advances always enrich few and impoverish many. Yet progress also pushes up location values – the geonomic insight (is Silicon Valley cheaper now or more expensive?). Instead of taxing income, sales, or buildings, society could collect those values of sites, resources, EM spectrum, and ecosystem services via fees and dues, which would lower the income ceiling, and instead of lavishing corporate welfare, pay out the recovered revenue via dividends, which would jack up the income floor. Dots connected.
a study of Earth's economic worth, of the money we spend on the nature we use, trillions of dollars each year. We spend most to be with our own kind; land value follows population density. Besides nearness to downtowns, we also pay for proximity to good schools, lovely views, soil fertility, etc. These advantages, sellers did not create. So we pay the wrong people for land. Instead, we should pay our neighbors. They generate land's value and deserve compensation for keeping off ours, as they'd pay us for keeping off theirs. It's mutual compensation: we'd replace taxes with land dues – a bit like Hong Kong does – and replace subsidies with "rent" dividends to area residents – a bit like Alaska does with oil revenue. Both taxes and subsidies – however fair or not – are costly and distort the prices of the goods taxed and the services subsidized. By replacing them and letting prices become precise, we reveal the real costs of output, the real values of consumers. Then, just by following the bottom line, people can choose to conserve and prosper automatically. A community could start by shifting its property tax off buildings, onto land – a bit like a score of towns in Pennsylvania do; every place that has done it has benefited.
a new field of study offered in place of economics, as astronomy replaced astrology and chemistry replaced alchemy. Conventional economics, in which GNP can do well while people suffer, is a bit too superstitious for my renaissance upbringing. If I'm to propitiate unseen forces, it won't be inflation or "the market"; let it be theEgyptian cat goddess. At least then we'd have fewer rats. Meanwhile, believing in reason leads to a new policy, also christened geonomics. That's the proposal to share (a kind of management, the "nomics" part) the worth of Mother Earth (the "geo" part). If our economies are to work right, people need to see prices that tell the truth. Now taxes and subsidies distort prices, tricking people into squandering the planet. Using land dues and rent dividends instead lets prices be precise, guiding people to get more from less and thereby shrink their workweek. More free time ought to make us happy enough to evolve beyond economics, except when nostalgic for superstition.

Fantastic idea. I was completly sold on it by the third photo. It's an excellent use of notes, it must have taken you ages to get them all noted up in order nevermind all taken!
I've been wanting to do a much smaller scale set for a while, to document the way from my front door to the office door but that would only be a single shot around every corner. I'll have at think about what there is around me that I could so something like this.
Again, excellent work and an excellent idea.
Thanks Dave,
I got the idea from some Flickrite who'd strung three photos together this way. Adding text with points of (historical/other) interest and the walking tour metaphore evolved from that.
Debugging the notes (making sure the links were correct) was a pain. Having all the pictures I needed was another matter. I had to keep going back to take "in between" locations. Also since I started the project in January the park looks really miserable in many of the photos. I have replaced the worst offenders already and plan to replace most of the rest over the summer.
Terrefic job, I loved the idea from the description and was thinking what I could do, but when I saw what you had done, I thought wow that's a lot of work. No problem taking he photos but the ordering and notes must have taken forever! Great job, I will have to get my finger out.
excellent idea and excellent tour!
i joined the group as well..
i hope to have some time soon
and make a virtual tour of my art gallery.
I've finally copped onto what you are doing, many apologies for all the random pictures posted here the other day!
I've just blogged this over on The Dublin Community Blog, and I really hope that word gets around and the idea catches on!!
Thanks for the write up. I think the idea is sound - now it's a question of getting some critical mass of tours established.

Growing Butternut Squash in Fall - Zone 9
Anyone had success with butternut squash in the fall/winter? I live in Oakland, CA and included some squash plants for my fall/winter garden. I used the Burpee garden planner tool when planning and it included for me was butternut. I started them indoors in August, transplanted them in Sept and so far they're doing great. I just started seeing some flower buds last week. Thing is, everyone I talked to and all the sites I've looked at says they aren't part of the winter garden even for my zone. Not sure if I'm just wasting bed space on these guys.
It could be there isn't enough time left to mature winter squash if you plant at the end of summer. You have to really think about how planting is different in the fall compared to spring. In the fall the light is decreasing and time to maturity could be as much as one third longer. Also the nights are getting colder instead of warmer. Night temps are probably more important than daytime since most plants want about 20 degree change to really produce fruit yet they are damaged when too cold. Warm days and cool nights can produce heavy dew which are great conditions for disease.
That doesn't mean you "can't" grow certain vegetables but most suggestions for fall planting are geared to "need for food" or commercial farming. If you're planting to feed a family with no outside sources, you don't take chances. Since you already have them flowering I'd at least see if they set. Maybe if you have limited space and more things to plant, you could remove them but I always try to push the envelope with something each year and consider it a learning experience.
I'd keep growing them, I still have butternut vines now that survived a brutal powdery mildew attack -- one has 3 new fruit and 2 others are in flower. CA coast seems to be getting rain, heat, fog, and the hint of Autumn this Oct, I can't even predict anymore and I just grow a range of veggies & herbs and let nature school me on what can survive or ripen. You can cut butternuts at almost any stage, I believe, then ripen them at a sunny window indoors, if it seems like rot is going to penetrate the squash.
Thanks shebear and dicot. I'm keeping my fingers crossed and if anything, it will be a good learning experience :). Too bad if they don't produce.. other than the carrots, they're really the only plants I have in the beds that aren't being desimated by either leaf miners or cabbage worms.
For cabbage worms, I think Bt is more organic. Spinosad is rather broad spectrum for me and I try to target specific pests. After years of using organic principles in my yard, I have so many good bugs living there that I usually let them take care of the pest problems. If I do spray, I only spray the affected plants because the domino theory is really proven in the garden. Really good soil is probably my best pesticide because sickly plants call all kinds of pests. The next best pesticide is being in the garden so I can catch the first pest outbreak and nip it in the bud.
