If you don't know that Ricki and Jamie got married yesterday, where have you been?! We've been talking about it for months and months (years even). (See our Special Pre-Wedding Moosletter.)
The week before the wedding, Ricki and Jamie hosted a Village Harmony singing camp with over 30 attendees staying at the house. The camp ended the day before the wedding! (Readers- are you remembering your own weddings and cringing at the thought of this?) Only Ricki and Jamie would attempt this!
The picture on the right is Ricki in the morning (the wedding was at 2pm). Her daughter, Jen, had arranged for her to have a massage when she woke up, so she was feeling gooood.
The weather was beautiful with a few moments of heavy rain, which means, according to the old wives tale, that the marriage will last forever. (Those old wives really knew their stuff!)
A few hours before the wedding, at 11:30am, a small group of Ricki's women friends and family held a tribute ceremony for her in the "barn" (a beautiful building Ricki and Jamie created in the back yard). We meditated together first and then we each took our turn telling Ricki why we love her. I think we all would have gladly spent the day together in that quiet space, but we had a rather large wedding to attend!!!
Gallery of Wedding Photos
|These 3 stooges were supposed to be working on the set-up, but ... That's friend Josh on the left, groom Jamie in the middle and Ricki's brother, Peter on the right.
|Ricki and Jamie had borrowed a refrigeration truck from Paul and Amy at Sidehill Farm and Norm, their next-door neighbor let them keep it in their driveway. The guests brought their dishes there when they arrived.
|Golf carts always come in handy (plus they're fun to ride around in)!
|Sarah's husband, Mark, seemed to always be there when anything needed doing.
|Meanwhile, back in the kitchen, Sarah and her mother in law, Ann (wearing blue), arranged the cheese platters for the appetizer table.
|Sarah had made beautiful labels for each of the cheeses.
|Friend, Marcia, brought the watermelons. What can we say?!
|From 1-2, the guests arrived, dropping off their food at the refrigeration truck and then heading into the tent.
|Sarah with her uncle Peter.
|Jamie actually stood still for a moment!
|Ricki's daughter, Jen, and her fiancee, Jason will be tying the knot next September.
|These folks were practicing some of the songs for the ceremony.
|Those are the bubble tubes in one of the flower girls hand.
|There was a little gap between the two tents, so Peter and Marci prepared for the entourage. The pretty lady on Marci's right came with Richard Dunbrack (the Thieving Magpie who made all the fabulous structures and the kitchen cabinets in the house). After the ceremony, she and Richard set off some firecrackers, thus beginning the reception with a BANG!
|At this point, it must be noted that the bride wore special sparkly shoes made by daughter, Sarah. They started out as Crocs, so they proved to be quite practical in the rain, as well as gorgeous, of course.
|The procession was almost ready and Peter was still standing with his umbrella. However, for some reason, his head turned red which I thought complemented his green shirt.
|Flower girls with bubble tubes, ready to go.
|The rain ended and the sun came out just as Ricki began her walk to the stage. (Jamie had made a stage and painted it magenta, one of the Queen's favorite colors.)
|Ricki's father accompanied her down the aisle.
|Marci, Peter, and their father. (Ricki's mother, Sandy, was there, from New Jersey, and Ricki paid a special tribute to her during the ceremony.)
|Too many friends and family to name... At right, Ricki's buddy, Glenda, played the keyboard for many of the songs in the ceremony.
|Kate Stevens, the minister of The First Congregational Church in Ashfield, officiated. She has known Ricki and Jamie for years.
|Can you see the bubbles? That's Sarah in the middle and friend, John Bos at the microphone.
|Ricki's longtime friend, Jack from Vermont read a poem he had written for the occasion.
|Meanwhile, back at the food tent, the staff was making progress with the meal.
|Nancy Charbonneau worked with the staff for a few hours, then she drove Kathy Bullock to the airport in Hartford.
|Many folks had included a list of ingredients with their dish.
|This picture was taken before the table was ready. but, believe me, it looked scrumptious.
|The staff was getting it together just as the ceremony ended.
|Eli breaking away.
|As soon as the ceremony ended, the food tent was open for business.
|Now Ricki and Jamie had the opportunity to chat with old friends and enjoy the day.
|The wedding cake was made by Ricki's daughter, Jen, from Cypress Grove's Humboldt Fog, their award-winning surface ripened goat cheese.
|It's always hard to tell whether Ricki's having a good time (hee hee) but we can venture a guess here...
To all of you- Thank you for helping to make this world a place where love is cherished and celebrated.

Insomnia is the experience of having trouble falling asleep or staying asleep during the night. It may cause you problems during the day, such as tiredness, low energy, poor concentration, and irritability.
Most people experience insomnia at some point in their lives, but the risk of insomnia increases with age and with serious illnesses, such as cancer.
Insomnia often causes other cancer-related conditions and symptoms—such as pain, fatigue, or depression or anxiety—to worsen. It may also decrease your ability to cope with cancer and cause feelings of isolation.
To understand the cause of the insomnia, which helps determine how to treat it, your doctor may ask about the following factors that can contribute to difficulty sleeping:
- A history of a sleep disorder
- Emotional distress or worry
- Depression or anxiety
- Delirium (confusion)
- Pain, shortness of breath, a cough, nausea, or itching
- Use of caffeine, alcohol, or tobacco
- Any new medications or side effects of other medications
- Withdrawal from medication
- Hormonal changes (for example, when a woman experiences menopause or a man experiences andropause [a drop in testosterone]) or symptoms of hormonal changes, such as hot flashes, which tend to be worse at night
- Poor sleep habits
- An unfamiliar, noisy, or uncomfortable sleep environment
- History of snoring or stopping breathing
- Daytime sleepiness
- Falling asleep doing routine activities (for example, driving a car, when stopped at a red light, when reading)
- Recent weight gain
- Exercising right before bedtime
- Restless legs
Relieving side effects—also called symptom management, palliative care, or supportive care—is an important part of cancer care and treatment. Talk with your health care team about any symptoms you experience, including any new symptoms or a change in symptoms.
The goal for managing insomnia is to achieve restful sleep and improve your overall quality of life.
First, identify potential sources of the insomnia—such as pain, depression, anxiety, stimulating medications, or sleep disorders—and ask your doctor or nurse to help you manage these conditions. If insomnia is an ongoing problem, your doctor may have you undergo an overnight sleep study to help determine whether you have other types of sleep disorders, such as sleep apnea (a temporary pause or decrease in the flow of air while breathing during sleep), that may be affecting your ability to fall asleep or stay asleep.
Medications may help relieve insomnia but should only be used in the short term, unless other treatments are ineffective. Behavioral techniques are usually more effective for long-term relief. Learn more about strategies for a better night's sleep, including engaging in healthy daytime habits, exercising, developing a bedtime routine, making changes to your sleeping area, reducing stress, and keeping a diary of your sleep-related behaviors.

The case hits a major snag as Apple punches holes in the plaintiff's purchases, rendering the suit eligible for dismissal.
The trial kicks off to determine whether Apple illegally used iTunes software updates to keep consumers locked in its digital music ecosystem.
Some consumers accused Apple of unfairly boosting iPod prices because it banned music from services other than the iTunes store. They're asking for $350 million, and even Steve Jobs will make an appearance in court, via taped deposition.
Hourly wage workers claim the tech giant broke California labor laws by denying them lunch breaks and final paychecks.
After thousands of users report skin irritation from using the health tracker bracelet, some are itching for a lawsuit.
The case -- which accuses tech giants like Apple, Google, Intel, and others of conspiring to fix wages and agreeing not to poach employees -- moves forward.
A class action suit filed in Massachusetts alleges misleading statements on Surface RT sales.
The stock exchange argues that it cannot be sued via class-action suits because of its legal status as a self-regulatory organization.
The 2nd Circuit Court of Appeals says a previous ruling that allowed the case against Google to be considered a class-action suit was premature.
Judge Lucy Koh is not yet sold on the idea of a class action lawsuit in a poaching case involving Google, Intuit, Apple, and other tech players.

A diagnosis of COPD is not the end of the world. For all stages of disease, effective therapy is available which can control symptoms, reduce your risk of complications and exacerbations, and improve your ability to lead an active life.
The most essential step in any treatment plan for COPD is to stop all smoking. It's the only way to keep COPD from getting worse — which can eventually reduce your ability to breathe. But quitting smoking isn't easy. And this task may seem particularly daunting if you've tried to quit and have been unsuccessful. Talk to your doctor about nicotine replacement products and medications that might help, as well as how to handle relapses. It's also a good idea to avoid secondhand smoke exposure whenever possible.
Doctors use several kinds of medications to treat the symptoms and complications of COPD. You may take some medications on a regular basis and others as needed:
Bronchodilators. These medications — which usually come in an inhaler — relax the muscles around your airways. This can help relieve coughing and shortness of breath and make breathing easier. Depending on the severity of your disease, you may need a short-acting bronchodilator before activities, a long-acting bronchodilator that you use every day, or both.
Short-acting bronchodilators include albuterol (ProAir HFA, Ventolin HFA, others), levalbuterol (Xopenex), and ipratropium (Atrovent). The long-acting bronchodilators include tiotropium (Spiriva), salmeterol (Serevent), formoterol (Foradil, Perforomist), arformoterol (Brovana), indacaterol (Arcapta) and aclidinium (Tudorza).
Doctors often use these additional therapies for people with moderate or severe COPD:
Even with ongoing treatment, you may experience times when symptoms become worse for days or weeks. This is called an acute exacerbation, and it may lead to lung failure if you don't receive prompt treatment. Exacerbations may be caused by a respiratory infection, air pollution, or other triggers of inflammation. Whatever the cause, it's important to seek prompt medical help if you notice a sustained increase in coughing, a change in your mucus or if you have a harder time breathing.
When exacerbations occur, you may need additional medications (such as antibiotics or steroids), supplemental oxygen or treatment in the hospital. Once symptoms improve, you'll want to take measures to prevent future exacerbations, such as taking inhaled steroids or long-acting bronchodilators, getting your annual flu vaccine and avoiding air pollution whenever possible.
Surgery is an option for some people with some forms of severe emphysema who aren't helped sufficiently by medications alone:

This thread is for discussing Jingo in some depth. If you haven't read the book then read on at your own risk – or, better still, go and read the book and join in the fun.
For those of us that are going to join in the discussion, here are a few guidelines:
Please feel free to make comparisons to other Discworld books, making sure you identify the book and the passage you are referring to. Others may not be as familiar with the book you are referencing, so think before you post.
Sometimes we'll need to agree to disagree – only Terry knows for sure what he was thinking when he wrote the books and individuals members may have widely different interpretations – so try to keep the discussion friendly.
We may be discussing a book that you don't much care for – don't be put off joining in the discussion. If you didn't care for the book, then that in itself is a good topic for discussion.
Please note: there is no time limit to this discussion. Please feel free to add to it at any time - especially if you've just read the book.
And finally:
Please endeavour to keep the discussion on topic. If necessary I will step in and steer it back to the original topic – so no digressions please!
Jingo by Terry Pratchett
Originally published 1997
When an ancient island rises in the Circle Sea at mid distance to Ankh-Morpork and Klatch, both nations claim it for themselves. Add to this the assassination of a visiting Klatchian prince to A-M and you have the sparks of war being fanned to an inferno. Commander Vimes enlists the Watch to carry out a 'Police Action' on the Klatchian mainland.
I want to thank CrysaniaMajere for doing the Introduction to this month's book.
CrysaniaMajere wrote:It's not easy to say in just a few words if I liked Jingo. Yes, and no.
Yes because of all its contests anti-war, anti-racism, anti-all-prejudices in general, and because politics has a very small role in it, I'd say almost insignificant, but we get to see Vetinari a lot anyway, and that's very significant to me.
No, because it is too true: it shows that too often people are either ignorant or stupid belligerent hypocrites, and that even good people are.
And it really annoys me that Carrot goes ordering Vetinari around, doesn't matter if he agrees with him, it's wrong! If he wants things done his way he should put a crown on his head and drag the city in the mud, 'cause that's what he'd do, he's no Vetinari. Ok, maybe that's excessive, but not too much.
Now you go on. There's a lot to say about Jingo.
Want to write the introduction for the next discussion (The Last Hero)? PM me and let me know if you'd like to – first come first served.

You know some people are that big through no fault of their own. Genetics and thyroid disorders can suck.
Sometimes I forget to factor in thyroid problems. But I tried to make it clear I was talking about my wife who I know has no family history of thyroid disorder so yes if she got that big it would be her own fault as per not trying. I'm not saying oh if she got big it would be over. I'm saying if she started endangering her own health and doing nothing about it well then I can't help anyone who can't help themself.
Yes seph I know your just giving me a hard time. Honestly I enjoy it. Having any sort of back and forth with people is fun to me.
On topic. I have a friend well she's closer to my brother then she is me but she is an AMAZING gamer but she's very very very short and very...developed so she gets a ton of attention when she plays. But man she's good. I don't even like to play with her anymore and I consider myself a hardcore gamer.

Favorite Things About Dordt College
One thing that truly makes Dordt a great place is the intentional Christian community of the campus. The engineer and the educator, the football player and the flutist, each individual student, faculty, and staff member has a purpose on this campus: to encourage the development of each other's specific gifts, and ultimately, to utilize those gifts to bring the community's members into a more intimate relationship with Christ. As we move toward this ultimate goal of whole-heartedly serving Him throughout our various activities, we form incredible personal relationships that truly are life-changing.
How Do You Spend Your Free Time?
I live a very active lifestyle. When I am not working, I enjoy running, cycling, backpacking, skiing and traveling. Basically, if it involves physical endurance or mountains, I love it. Other than that, I enjoy reading a thought-provoking book, discovering new music, and hanging out with friends and family.
Personal Note
I am very excited that you are considering Dordt College. As a recent graduate of Dordt, I cannot say enough about the wonderful experiences that I had as a student. I would love to help you discern whether our school is the right place for you. I would highly encourage you to visit Dordt during one of our Campus Visit Days. If you have any questions or would like to set up a visit, please do not hesitate to contact me.

text: Is it just me, or did everyone else notice that John Cena tried out some new moves last night on Raw. I don't remember every move, but he did try a decent amount of new things, he did a hurricanrana, a poewrbomb, etc. That match last night was as all the superstars say a Wrestlemania worthy main event, and I'm saying this with my 100% hatred toward CM Punk, due to the fact that he was the one who retired Jeff Hardy, that CM Punk deserves to be in a Triple Threat main event with Cena, and Rock.

Coinciding with the release of the WWE '12 Legends & Superstars DLC pack, THQ has plans to deploy a patch for the game. The new patch will release on January 30th, a day before the DLC arrivals, and will address "a number of issues and improve your overall gaming experience."
In the same blog post, which revealed the inclusion of a FREE masked Kane Superstar in the upcoming DLC, WWE '12 creative director Cory Ledesma released the patch notes so fans could see the upcoming changes to the game.
The WWE '12 patch list notes the following fixes:
General Gameplay
- Fixed an issue where the ring texture would flash black or different colors
- Addressed multiple Finisher system bugs in which players were awarded too many or too few Finishers
- Fixed an issue where the Defender would freeze if the Right Stick was pressed in any direction while being Irish Whipped
- Fixed an issue where two Superstars in a pin sequence swapped positions when an interfering Superstar woke the referee as he/she was standing
- Fixed an issue where Superstars would freeze if certain running corner attacks were performed in the Royal Rumble
- Both attacks in the Running Strikes and Running Grapples categories should now trigger consistently
- Fixed several situations where a created Superstar's move set was being improperly reset to default settings
- Fixed several instances where players could Irish Whip their opponents through the Cell and/or Barricade
- Fixed an issue that caused Superstars to freeze when a Finisher was performed
- Sound is now working correctly after restarting a Brawl

- Lowered the frequency of injuries in Universe Mode
- Addressed issue where Royal Rumble and Money in the Bank winners were not getting their title shots at WrestleMania and/or the option to cash in Money in the Bank

Panniers full? Traditional dry bags are great for extra storage, but with the narrow roll closures, they can be a pain when you need to get something at the bottom of the bag. Heres the solution: Ortlieb came up with this dry bag duffel that rolls closed along its length, giving you quick access to the entire bag.
Large opening for easy packing and unpacking. With rugged carrying handles.
No instructions are currently available for this product.
Simple. Versatlie. Bombproof. What else can I say? (Okay, I have all three sizes)

This will keep your dry stuff dry. However, it will also keep your wet stuff wet, so remember to take your dirty clothes out of the bag after you go camping or you'll be in for an unpleasant surprise when you open the bag after a couple weeks. I strap mine to the back of my bike regularly and can carry a tent, sleeping bag, and my sleeping pad. No sweat.

Have Goofy visit your house - thanks to Google Street View
Disneyland Paris is 20 years-old this year and to celebrate it's created a magical website that shows Goofy visiting you at your actual home. This is done using a combination of Google Maps and Google Street View.
First, you enter your post or zip code, click on the nearest address in the drop down menu, and the animation will build. A giant shadow of Goofy will then appear on the satellite version of Google Maps, showing your location. Then it gets really clever.
We won't spoil the fun, but it's easily the best use of Google Street View we've seen to date. Even if you don't get all excited, your kids will love it.
The site has its own dedicated address: www.giantsteps20.com. We thoroughly recommend you give it a whirl.
Disneyland Paris will also be hosting all manner of special events over the next few months in order to celebrate its landmark age. Check them out at 20th-anniversary.disneylandparis.co.uk.

I'd prefer an open-source solution, but a paid version would be fine as long as it's cheaper than the $100 Win 8.1 Pro upgrade (the only way to get BitLocker AFAIK).

google for truecrypt alternatives. there are quite a few out there i would use over bitlocker. the fact that truecrypt website now recommands bitlocker and even has a guide how to migrate is scary itself. i dont wanna know how much money was involved.
What a conspiracy! Or maybe the developers got tired of their thankless work and wanted to push people to something that worked well.

I found this one very interesting as an alternative to Truecrypt and most likely the one I will use. DiskCryptor. I found the video that shows it working:
I will likely try this later because in some ways it seems better than even truecrypt ever was. Especially with the boot disk functionality.

I have been using Data Protecto www.dataprotecto.com for a few months with no problems at all, very easy to use and lots of features, not just plain encryption.
Posted 31 May 2014 - 18:18
Dumb question, since I never had a TPM chip to just mess with... if you use a TPM chip to encrypt using Bit locker, and say the TPM chip is destroyed, it would in essence be impossible to ever recover the encrypted data?
In principle, as long as you've created Bitlocker recovery keys (as per Bitlocker's instructions) you should be fine. I've never tried this myself though (certainly wouldn't want a destroyed TPM).

I am a race mechanic. Traveling with heavy tools can be cumbersome as well as expensive. I have used this torque wrench for years and have yet to find a better solution. The new rounded head makes getting in tight spaces easier. Its small and lightweight and can reach high torque specs for everything on a bike. Its a simple reliable design with minimal parts, there's nothing like it.

"My husband is very tall and over 250lbs, he is active as we live on a small acreage that requires much work. These shoes last under pressure, he grabs these over his work boots just because they are flexible and cool. They last about a year with HEAVY use when other sneaks only last about 3 months."

"I've been wearing this shoe series since the 1008's and I loved them up until the 1012's. I tried sticking with these shoes thinking it was a fluke, but I'm done after the second pair. They are definitely comfortable, but wear out extremely fast due to what seems like cheaper material/manufacturing. I'm not picky either. I had to super-glue the front tip of the sole on one of the shoes since it was already coming off when I bought the pair. I really do love these shoes and the comfort and stability they provide. I just wish that they were made a little better. I typically wear the shoes for working out, cardio, and basketball."

Google and YouTube use Python because it's highly adaptable, easy to maintain, and allows for rapid development. If you want to write high-quality, efficient code that's easily integrated with other languages and tools, this hands-on book will help you be productive with Python quickly -- whether you're new to programming or just new to Python. It's an easy-to-follow self-paced tutorial, based on author and Python expert Mark Lutz's popular training course.
Each chapter contains a stand-alone lesson on a key component of the language, and includes a unique Test Your Knowledge section with practical exercises and quizzes, so you can practice new skills and test your understanding as you go. You'll find lots of annotated examples and illustrations to help you get started with Python 3.0.
Learn about Python's major built-in object types, such as numbers, lists, and dictionariesCreate and process objects using Python statements, and learn Python's general syntax modelStructure and reuse code using functions, Python's basic procedural toolLearn about Python modules: packages of statements, functions, and other tools, organized into larger componentsDiscover Python's object-oriented programming tool for structuring codeLearn about the exception-handling model, and development tools for writing larger programsExplore advanced Python tools including decorators, descriptors, metaclasses, and Unicode processing
Mark Lutz is the world leader in Python training, the author of Python's earliest and best-selling texts, and a pioneering figure in the Python community since 1992. He is also the author of O'Reilly's Programming Python, Python Pocket Reference, and Learning Python (all in 4th Editions). Mark can be reached on the web at www.rmi.net.
View Mark Lutz's full profile page.
The animal on the cover of Learning Python, Fourth Edition, is a wood rat (Neotoma Muridae). The wood rat lives in a wide range of conditions (mostly rocky, scrub, anddesert areas) over much of North and Central America, generally at some distance fromhumans. Wood rats are good climbers, nesting in trees or bushes up to six meters offthe ground; some species burrow underground or in rock crevices or inhabit otherspecies' abandoned holes.
These grayish-beige, medium-size rodents are the original pack rats: they carry anythingand everything into their homes, whether or not it's needed, and are especially attractedto shiny objects such as tin cans, glass, and silverware.
The cover image is a 19th-century engraving from Cuvier's Animals. The cover font is Adobe ITC Garamond. The text font is Linotype Birka; the heading font is Adobe Myriad Condensed; and the code font is LucasFont's TheSansMonoCondensed.

About Me Sys Admin
Comments about O'Reilly Media Learning Python, 4th Edition:
I've dipped my toes in Python in the past and even owned previous editions of this book. Imagine my surprise when the postal carrier wheeled this vast tome up to my doorstep on a dolly, wheezing and stopping to wipe sweat from her brow. I had to call my wife and we both eventually wrestled the book into the house. After using a spare car jack to open the cover I did find many familiar and easy to understand sections. Until I reached Chapter 7 which contains about 200 pages on the ever-scintillating topic of string formatting, which Python apparently has multiple versions of...After desperately typing all the examples and staring at them until my vision blurred(it may have been the tears of despair running down my face) I just unplugged my computer and went for a bike ride. Maybe I'll just learn Forth of Assembly...
Bottom Line No, I would not recommend this to a friend
Merchant response: Hi Tom,Thank you for your review. We're sorry that this was a disappointment, but we appreciate your feedback. I want to make sure you know that we have a 100% satisfaction guarantee, and if you would like a refund, you can find details at http://oreilly.com/go/guarantee.

Which editor let this one through?
By Heptite
from Idaho
This book is definitely not up to O'Reilly standards. The author rambles, repeates himself without benefit of added clarity, and is not clear at points. Overall writing has poor flow, which slows down my reading significantly.This book is absolutely HUGE. I am glad I have an electronic edition instead of the printed edition, but the benefit is questionable because I just cannot get through this book in any reasonable amount of time.

Good learning tool, but verbose
By FyreHeart
from Irvine, CA
About Me Developer, Sys Admin
Mark Lutz clearly has a vast knowledge of Python, which he shares with the reader. In this book, he gives a solid introduction to the language, but the benefits of the book are obscured by his writing style. He repeats himself so often, I began counting the number of times he said the same thing. On average, he seems to repeat the same concept three times, but unlike other writers who use this technique, he adds no clarification when he restates a concept. This 1200 page book could be 400 pages if another writer or editor forced him to write more concisely. I've found his Python Pocket Reference invaluable simply because the short format forced him to write efficiently.
Too much commentary and little examples
By Al
from Boston
About Me Developer
I bought this book hoping to learn something about python but I am very disappointed. Its just too much commentary and very little real world examples. He also just skirts important topics that are the core of the python language.
Good book.
By TheNoob
from LA, CA
Good book to start learning Python, although I wouldn't recommend this book for someone attempting to learn their first language. Having some/good amount of programming experience would (IMO) be required. A beginner will have a hard time with this book because by chapter 6 they are loaded with all this information, but have no idea how to make it all work together. Although, this book does a great job covering python. It's worth the read!

This book clear my concept
By fatfrabbit
from Fremont, CA
This book is best for people who don't know python at all. The author point out a lot of important concept/points while other python book or website fail to point out those important concept. Very easy and clear example. Highly recommend this book to new python programmer. It cover 2.6 and 3.0 python

You never need this book
By Rajesh
from Bangalore
About Me Designer, Developer
Pathetic book. The book goes on and on and on. parts 1-5 could have been condensed into 2 parts at the max. The author should be banned from Writing. Never in my life in any programming language, I learnt Scope before functions. This author does that. Even after you read this tome, you wont be writing practical code. You need to read another book of his. "Beginning Python: From Novice to Professional" is a much better book but then that book is not fully updated for Python 3.X. Dont buy this book. It is a pain for your head.

In a word 'Comprehensive'
By Joy of Duck
from UK
About Me Developer, Educator
Firstly, the good bits: This book is the single most comprehensive resource for learning to program in Python. As a very experienced Python programmer, I found it an invaluable reference for getting my skills up to speed on the new 3.X features.Now the down side: This book is the single most comprehensive resource for learning to program in Python. If I was starting out it would scare me away to a nice fluffy language like Ruby.Mark appears to cover every single nook and cranny of every single Python feature. This is great for programmers, but not so if you are starting out. I think that Learning Python should have been split across at least two volumes. The Advanced volume would be my desktop reference and the Beginners volume would be required reading for all my students.

Makes simple concepts hard to understand
By Nick the Python
from Iran
This is a good book but the simple concepts are made too complex. Python is a very powerful and productive language, but to try to emphasize that point by revisiting simple concepts and ideas of the language in practically every page of the book only leads to confusion. Another point is how lengthy some topics get. 185 pages on the topic of modules is just a bit too much. It is the same with lists too with the difference that the almost 400 pages that is devoted to lists is scattered all over the book. Some topics although very important get a passing mention in say one paragraph or half a section under its own title, and the main part of the discussion is referred to some other part of the book under a heading or topic that is entirely beside the point of the chapter or current topic. Another point that a user also mentioned is that the book does make one a slow reader. It is in part due to the author's style of writing and in part due to the how the material is structured.Having said that, I have to be fair and admit that Python is not your usual language and I certainly believe that contrary to the popular belief it is much more complex and harder to learn than C. I read Kernigan and Ritchie's book about twenty years ago and I do not remember as being puzzled and lost as I am with Python. Which is not surprising at all. A language that has lists and objects, the most advanced ideas in any programming environment, before chars and integers and floats as its basic types is not an easy language. In addition the freedom that the language provides its users, and by extension its developers, just is a recipe for a product that is impossible to comprehend readily in is entirety. Only programmers that already have a good grasp of the advanced concepts of programming languages can appreciate fully the power of Python. It is the same with other object-enamored, "easy" languages like Ruby for example. Add to that different versions of Python that just destroys the fun one hopes to have after the learning curve flattens and starts to fall. The problem shows in every Python book ever written. I am yet to see a Python book that can even organize the idea of the language well and then proceed to explain different parts of it.

Watercolor Clown #12 Sue Marranconi AKA Squeeze
Hello Fellow Clown Lovers,
Clowns – I love them! I love to paint bright, colorful, happy images and clowns fit right in with that.
I have painted clowns for several years. Until recently I focused on painting them in Acrylics on canvas, but I have renewed my love of Watercolor and I am currently working on a series of paintings that incorporates great clowns (most of whom I have made friends with on Facebook) and watercolor on small affordable 9 x 12 watercolor paintings. Since the watercolor series is new and not well know I have the luxury of selling these paintings at a pretty reasonable price.
My goal is to create 75 watercolor clowns. I hope to sell thru Facebook or directly to the buyer and hopefully sell a few to the proud clown collectors out in the world.
Each image will be on Canson 140 LB Watercolor paper 9 X 12. Each image will be mailed in a document mailer with a certificate of authenticity. Let me know if your interested or if you have a clown image for me to consider for the series.

I think I mentioned that I bought this same black book. Since I don't know Japanese, the only thing of value to me in the book was the walker you tried to build.
When I heard that you couldn't get the robot to work, I said to my wife: "If Jim Kelly can't get it to work, there's NO chance I can get it to work". So I tossed the book!
However, there are some sharpies on this blog who could get this bot going, I'll bet.

Rick - I would LOVE for someone to prove me wrong and get it walking! I still think there's probably some secret trick to it, but as it stands, the motors turn the legs, but it just tips over.
Anonymous - No, I'm not leaving the Mindstorms NXT hobby... just trying to keep my other project separate.

The third motor in the back looks like it shifts the NXT? Maybe it's a COG shifter?
Looks interesting! I would try to build it if I had the book.

"and if someone says "Connect some wires to the motors" you'll get 20 wet-noodle lashes" lol
lol well its a black book brother to the infamous blue book of area 51 so that would mean it was created by alliens with a high degree of lego science. "the truth is out there" but its in Japanese. we may never know.
after reading the MadArno's LEGO Biped i am inspired to do a a major upgrade to my biped. in NXT only studless the goal walking up plano boxes. i might need some help from them alliens though, i may never know as well.

Hi, Jake.
Yes, it'll be a real arcade cabinet to play some of my favorite games. I get asked "What games will it play" a lot and the short answer is "All of them" :) Do a Google search on MAME and you can learn more. I'm a product of the 80's so you're sure to find Pac Man, Space Invaders, Dig Dug, Donkey Kong, Tempest, Tron, and more... woo hoo.
As for when it'll be finished - I don't really know. I've got some busy months ahead of me so I may not get much done on it for a while.
- May 8, 2007, 8:17:00 AM
Thank you Jim. Well good luck with it. I might try adn build one some day. I'm going to add your website ot my favorite sites so be sure to update it! Maybe some of your readers will also build one with NXT theme!!!!
http://www.bluerocketwriting.com/SISJhome.html is cooooooool!!!!!!
Time for dinner. Bye!!

I don't really know how yours currently works (if the NXT rotates or not) and I don't really have enough time to build one since i'm busy working on a project with my NXT but I did have enough time for a small animation to show how it should work in theory.
It's only an animation from the back but it should be enough to help.

Can you publish a few more images of your robot? Maybe this can help those w/o the book to unravel this puzzle. It seems to me that IF this robot walks the "secret" is in the order you move the motors.

I wish I could find my old Japanese friend "Joda" Hideaki Yabuki. We used to translate manuals into each language for a Japanese company. He and I discussed everything and we spent a lot of time taking about R/C and MindStorms. See his LEGO pages at Joda MindStorms
We lost contact after we both moved and he changed jobs. If anyone knows his contact information, please send him mine or send me an email. My wife and I are planning a trip to Japan and I would like to visit with him.
- May 8, 2007, 11:15:00 PM
- Jim Kelly said...
I'll try and post a couple more images today. As the motor on back turns, the robot DOES shift to the left and then to the right. The problem is about 80% in the feet and 20% in the weight of the brick. I can force the robot to "walk" by moving the legs and angling the brick a certain way, but either the feet get caught on a flat surface or the brick's weight causes the robot to tumble over due to imbalance.

First off you clearly can't play Tron on your MAME cabinent until you install the proper Tron Joystick and wheel controls as well as a blacklight.
Regarding the bot, perhaps the reason for the lack of building instructions was due to the bot not acutaly working.
- May 9, 2007, 2:33:00 AM
- Jim Kelly said...
Jim, that's a VERY good possibility (regarding the bot). I would LOVE to see it walk, though... it's very cool to look at. Danny's got one in the works that I'm also looking forward to seeing...
Regarding my MAME cab: I haven't ordered my joysticks yet, but there is a guy who is selling copies of an authentic TRON joystick - he made a mold of an original and produces knock-offs in original blue and also in red.
For me, I don't want to dedicate the space to a joystick for just one game. I'll find a way to make it work though - I'm considering creating an "add on" panel that can clip on and support games like Tron that require special controls.
As for the spinner, yep, I'm putting one on the control panel. I don't think it will be possible to control Tron's arms and fire without it.

- Andy said...
Jim, on the outside of each feet, you could try to add a beam on that so it dsn't tilt so much to each side when "walking". Maybe it would work then. Just a thought...
- May 9, 2007, 2:54:00 AM
- 222Doc said...
You know I was looking at the same Andy. I think they build that so it does ballance on the outside of the foot if jusy set on it. The trouble with that design, might be the motion creats momentum. It may just keep going and fall over when in motion. I had to regultate that momentum in two ways on my biped; use the ramp down feature of the new mini move blocks to the leaning motor, put the opposite foot in motion to counter the "leaning momentum".
I wonder if the opposite foot could do the same in this build? but that design leaves little to adjust sice it basicaly is just tipping over. make foot widder on the out side might help? not easy to make a biped with only three motors. I would guess it wont turn very easy as well.

- Jim Kelly said...
I'm fairly certain I could modify it to actually walk, but my goal is to try and get it to walk as it is constructed.
I'll wait a few more days and then maybe do some tinkering.
- May 9, 2007, 5:44:00 AM
i found a robot that actually walks but is uses the rcx. you will to modify it for the nxt.

For Corvette lovers wanting to seriously upgrade their ride's performance, a coupe (or hardtop) is usually the only way to go.
Not so with John Smeelen, who teamed with Toronto's Dream Machines to create a mega-power marvel of an open-body Vette. "I wanted to have something different, and I wanted the best of both worlds," says Smeelen of his choice to build a convertible Corvette. "You don't see very many ragtops that are high-performance, because of structural issues and so on."
Making sure the topless Vette wouldn't tie itself into a pretzel was one aspect of the project, one that would consume more than 1,000 hours of work from start to finish. But that wasn't the biggest challenge that they faced. "The hardest part, believe it or not, was the engineering of the engine, blower, and transmission," says Smeelen. "If it was a manual transmission, it would have been much simpler."
Fortunately RPM Transmissions was able to upgrade the GM 6L80E six-speed automatic and provide a pair of 1,000-hp-capable halfshafts to handle the anticipated big power.
Under the hood, the plan called for replacing the stock 400hp LS2 engine with a custom-built LS that would twist the dyno dials much, much higher. That included a Magna Charger TVS 2300 supercharger, one with a minor challenge added: It was a very-early-production piece, and likely the first of its kind in Canada. "We had to devise our own custom pulley system for the blower," Smeelen recalls.
The result was a truly one-off 50mm, curvilinear, synchronous beltdrive. This setup even incorporates an overrun clutch that eliminates the belt shock that normally results from throttle manipulation.
To further ensure durability at high boost levels, Dream Machines specified the GM/Katech LS7 block stuffed with a forged steel Callies crankshaft and plenty of other high-strength internals.
"We're running about 13 pounds [of boost], and we've designed it so that it's very, very user-friendly and reliable," says Smeelen. "We detuned it so that we could have peace of mind. There's still a lot of output—it could be greater, but we're not taking that chance."
Even at that relatively modest boost level, the engine pumps out a monstrous 768 hp and 802 lb-ft of torque at the rear wheels, enough to put even the most radical of dedicated race Vettes back on the trailer.
Other mechanical mods include Pfadt Race Engineering coilovers, huge Baer brakes, and MHT Paragon aluminum wheels shod with Michelin Pilot Sports.
But there's more to Smeelen's C6 project than just the supercharged LS7 and the chassis hardware to handle it. The color scheme not only includes a bright-red base color, but a unique center stripe with a marble-like appearance. Says Smeelen, "We decided that we were going to break up that mass of red, and we wanted to do something different, with the marble texture. It goes with the leather interior, and it takes away from some of the mass of red that the car is." It also helped it score the Best Exterior award at last year's Corvettes at Carlisle.
Also noteworthy are the car's custom structural roll hoops, which are hinged to allow sufficient clearance for the factory power top as it sweeps through its range of motion. They even incorporate override safety switches that prevent the top-up procedure from being initiated while the hoops are in the upright position.

Central European FLL finals in Triberg (Germany)
This is a movie that I have created from my own photos. Unfortunately, the rechargable battery of my camera gave up rather soon, so the greatest part of the teams and of the event can not be seen there. :-(
Nevertheless: Enjoy!

I am referring to the flags. It's a small touch, but it is a constant reminder of the international blend of competitors.
In contrast, the qualifying tournament my team will attend will consist of 60 teams, all from within about a 10 mile radius.
The top teams will move to the State Championship, which will,of course, consist of teams all from the same state.
Our teams are unique, of course, but still pretty homogenous in many ways.

US tourists swim for 14 hours after boat sinks
SAN JUAN, Puerto Rico The fishing trip off the rugged north coast of St. Lucia was supposed to last all day, but about four hours into the journey, the boat's electric system crackled and popped.
Dan Suski, a 30-year-old business owner and information technology expert from San Francisco, had been wrestling a 200-pound marlin in rough seas with help from his sister, Kate Suski, a 39-year-old architect from Seattle. It was around noon April 21.
He was still trying to reel in the fish when water rushed into the cabin and flooded the engine room, prompting the captain to radio for help as he yelled out their coordinates.
It would be nearly 14 hours and a long, long swim before what was supposed to be a highlight of their sunny vacation would come to an end.
As the waves pounded the boat they had chartered from the local company "Reel Irie," more water flooded in. The captain threw life jackets to the Suskis.
"He said, `Jump out! Jump out!'" Kate Suski recalled in a telephone interview Thursday with The Associated Press.
The Suskis obeyed and jumped into the water with the captain and first mate. Less than five minutes later, the boat sank.
The group was at least eight miles (13 kilometers) from shore, and waves more than twice their size tossed them.
"The captain was telling us to stay together, and that help was on its way and that we needed to wait," Kate Suski said.
The group waited for about an hour, but no one came.
"I was saying, `Let's swim, let's swim. If they're coming, they will find us. We can't just stay here,'" she recalled.
As they began to swim, the Suskis lost sight of the captain and first mate amid the burgeoning swells. Soon after, they also lost sight of land amid the rain.
"We would just see swells and gray," Dan Suski said.
A plane and a helicopter appeared in the distance and hovered over the area, but no one spotted the siblings.
Several hours went by, and the sun began to set.
"There's this very real understanding that the situation is dire," Kate Suski said. "You come face-to-face with understanding your own mortality ... We both processed the possible ways we might die. Would we drown? Be eaten by a shark?"
"Hypothermia?" Dan Suski asked.
"Would our legs cramp up and make it impossible to swim?" the sister continued.
They swam for 12 to 14 hours, talking as they pushed and shivered their way through the ocean. Dan Suski tried to ignore images of the movie "Open Water" that kept popping into his head and its story of a scuba-diving couple left behind by their group and attacked by sharks. His sister said she also couldn't stop thinking about sharks.
"I thought I was going to vomit I was so scared," she said.
When they finally came within 30 feet (9 meters) of land, they realized they couldn't get out of the water.
"There were sheer cliffs coming into the ocean," she said. "We knew we would get crushed."

Caught up in a family disagreement over who should care for three young children, a grandmother and her son barricaded themselves and the kids in a garage and filled it with deadly carbon monoxide gas. All five died.
Police spent Tuesday trying to explain the heartbreaking scene discovered a day earlier at the home of 54-year-old Sandy Ford and her son Andy in a quiet Toledo neighborhood.
Firefighter's using a sledgehammer broke down the garage door to find the bodies of 5-year-old Madalyn Hayes, her 6-year-old brother Logan and 10-year-old sister Paige slumped inside a car, along with their grandmother and uncle. Two hoses attached to the exhaust of a pickup truck pumped gas fumes through the car's rear window.
Police said letters inside the house indicated the woman and her son plotted the murder-suicide, beginning by picking up the children from school Monday morning after their mother had dropped them off earlier.
They also had disabled the garage door opener and nailed plywood over the windows, said Toledo police Sgt. Joe Heffernan. He wouldn't say what was in the letters, but it appeared some were written by the children.
Authorities were called to the home by the children's frantic grandfather after he discovered the letters and was unable to force open the garage door. Despite the grisly scene, investigators found no signs the children were forced into the car and believe all five died of carbon monoxide poisoning.

Chicago, IL (SportsNetwork.com) - Pau Gasol officially became a member of the Chicago Bulls on Friday.
Gasol had announced that he had chosen the Bulls on his Twitter account last Saturday.
The 34-year-old spent the past six-plus seasons with Kobe Bryant and the Los Angeles Lakers, winning two NBA titles. He will join another former MVP in Chicago, point guard Derrick Rose.
"We are really excited to add such a versatile player to our roster who has been both an All-Star and an NBA champion," said Chicago Bulls general manager Gar Forman in a statement. "Pau is a skilled player with a high basketball IQ and is a true pro and a proven winner."
With Bryant out most of the season, Gasol averaged 17.4 points, 9.7 rebounds and 3.4 assists in 60 games in 2013-14, missing time because of a groin strain and a bout with vertigo.
Prior to his run with the Lakers, the Spanish big man was a member of the Memphis Grizzlies for more than six seasons (2001-08).
He has averaged 18.3 points, 9.2 rebounds and 3.3 assists in 13 NBA seasons with Memphis and Los Angeles. In postseason play, Gasol has averaged 17.2 points, 9.7 rebounds and 3.4 assists in 105 games -- all starts.

We have heard recently where District 150 apparently had an opportunity to team up with Magic "Ervin" Johnson to open a charter school. This little tidbit has left many wondering, what exactly is the deal with District 150 and Magic Johnson?
Well... word is that Lathan has met at least twice with Clyde Gulley, the Regional Office of Education and a rep from the Magic Johnson Charter School. Apparently Magic would like to open Carver as a school for drop-out, offering vocational education. However, just like the Peoria Charter School Initiative (Quest), they need a district to partner with to issue diplomas. Lathan has said that she is not interested.
Magic Johnson Enterprises, Johnson's company devoted to improving urban communities, will work with EdisonLearning, an educational services provider, on a dual-front approach to help support urban students, working under the name Magic Johnson-EdisonLearning Assist."Improving the quality of life for people residing in urban areas is my life's passion, and through Magic Johnson Enterprises, we have been part of positive change in these communities," Johnson said in a press release. "When just over 40 percent of students in Los Angeles, Houston, and Baltimore are graduating from high school; and less than 30 percent of black males in New York, Detroit, and Miami—steps need to be taken to recapture these students into the education system to better their opportunities in life."The partnership will establish Magic Johnson Bridgescape Learning Centers to help urban high-school-age students who have either dropped out or are at risk of dropping out earn a high school diploma. EdisonLearning already operates eight Bridgescape Centers in Ohio and will open three new centers in Cincinnati this month.Bridgescape Centers combines face-to-face learning with online instruction to help tailor instruction to individual student's needs. Each center works with 100 to 150 students at one time.For urban students still in school, Magic Johnson-EdisonLearning Assist will work with districts to incorporate Alliance School Turnaround Initiatives, which are aimed at boosting student performance in underperforming schools.Each district will work with an EdisonLearning Achievement Team to design and implement a tailor-made turnaround model for their schools, complete with leadership development, curriculum improvements, and proven assessment systems, according to the initiative. Currently, EdisonLearning is providing school improvement/turnaround services to roughly 80 schools across Virginia, Maryland, Hawaii, Delaware, and Nevada.
"Every student in the United States, regardless of ethnic or economic status, should have access to education that enables them to succeed," said Jeff Wahl, president and CEO of EdisonLearning. "Magic Johnson-EdisonLearning Assist provides an important safety net for students who have left or are at risk of leaving the traditional school setting. The positive impact of their success is important not only for the students themselves and their communities, but also the nation as a whole."
