Stuart's Opera House
Editor's Review
Visitors from near and far venture to this historic theater, located just north of Ohio University in southeastern Ohio, to see big-name musicians perform on a small yet modern stage. Artists such as Lucinda Williams and Richard Thompson have jammed here, drawn by the pleasure of playing in the cozy 395-seat theater. Eight box seats on either side of the stage put guests a mere 10 feet from the performers. Tickets are affordable: An upcoming concert runs $15 for advance balcony seats and $25 for advance box seats (add $5 for at-the-door entrance). Evidence of the opera house's storied past are etched into its brick foundation and scattered about its renovated interior. Smoke-stained bricks are relics of an electrical fire that nearly destroyed Stuart's Opera House in 1980. A first-floor arts space, dubbed Gallery 1879, recalls the year Nelsonville resident George Stuart built the two-story structure to present vaudeville acts and minstrel shows to this once bustling coal-mining community. Some may be tempted to bypass this Appalachian nook of 5,200 on the way to Athens. But Nelsonville, the hometown of Sarah Jessica Parker, is too hip to be avoided. A popular draw is the annual Nelsonville Music Festival, a three-day jamboree held on the grounds of nearby Hocking College. Featured artists in 2011 include George Jones, the Flaming Lips and Neko Case. Stuart's also offers free summertime concerts in its parking lot and partakes in Final Fridays on the Square, when stores and galleries extend their hours from 6-9 p.m. on the last Friday of the month.

hypnosec writes "Authorities in Japan are presumably worried about their inability to tackle cybercrime and, in a bid to stem one of the sources of anonymous traffic, the National Police Agency (NPA) is asking ISPs to block Tor. The recommendation comes from the special panel formed by the NPA after a hacker going by the name Demon Killer was found to regularly use Tor to anonymize his online activities, like posting of death threats on public message boards."

Tributes to Cumbrian policeman killed in motorbike crash
Last updated at 09:09, Saturday, 07 April 2012
An off-duty policeman killed in a motorbike crash near Cockermouth was named last night as Craig Postlethwaite, 38.
PC Postlethwaite, who lived in the Workington area, joined Cumbria police in 2007.
PC Postlethwaite worked in the West Cumbria roads policing unit.
He died at the scene after his motorcycle was in collision with a car on the A5086, on the outskirts of Cockermouth, on Wednesday.
His motorbike was in collision with a Volkswagen Tiguan driven by a 65-year-old Penrith man.
Sergeant Jim Lloyd, who worked with PC Postlethwaite and is a close family friend, said: "Craig's family have asked me to pass on thanks to the member of the public who stopped at the scene and attempted to give first aid to help Craig.
"His family and colleagues are extremely grateful.
"Police officers and the ambulance service attended the collision. However, tragically, Craig died at the scene.
"His family, friends and colleagues are all deeply shocked and are being supported during this extremely difficult time.
"Craig was an exemplary officer and will be missed by all who knew him.
"Craig was an exceptional man and a very dedicated officer.
"He recently moved to the roads policing unit, which was a career path that he had always wanted to follow and had also just completed his firearms course.
"Craig joined the constabulary four years ago and has made a positive impression on all who knew him.
"He was well liked and respected by the community and all his colleagues – he was a genuinely nice and thoroughly decent bloke.
"As a police officer, he was an example to us all.
"He will be a massive loss to the policing family and we will all miss him."
A photograph from PC Postlethwaite's family showed him on duty as he attended an incident when a loose horse was causing danger on a road.
PC Postlethwaite took off his belt to get hold of the horse to lead it to safety.
PC Postlethwaite previously worked for Cumbria Fire and Rescue Service for 14 years.
He joined in 1994 as store keeper at the Cockermouth fire HQ, and then became a computer assisted design officer in 2000. In 2003 he became corporate systems administrator, a role in which he remained until leaving in 2008.
In 2007 he was a member of the team which won a backroom brilliance award at the service's first Together Towards Success awards.
Adrian Buckle, head of service delivery at the fire service, who had worked with PC Postlethwaite, said that joining the police had been his long-time ambition.
He added: "He was a well-liked, valued and friendly member of the family of the fire service and our thoughts are most certainly with his close family and friends at this time. He was always very approachable and always keen to help people out.
He was a genuinely nice person and it is a terrible shock."
Members of Cumbria police's Allerdale borough team said on social networking website Twitter: "RIP mate."
Special constables tweeted: "Tragic news about our colleague and friend."
An ambulance service spokeswoman said that community first responders reached the crash site before the emergency services and assisted in providing treatment. The air ambulance and a doctor were also called.
The car driver was taken to the Cumberland Infirmary, Carlisle.
The road was closed for four hours between Eaglesfield Paddle Primary Academy and the A66 Sheep and Wool Centre roundabout.
The crash happened at 5.15pm and the road reopened at 9.45pm.

Corvettes were designed to go around curves. Sure, they go fast in a straight line, too, but there are lots of cars—lots of American cars—that do that as well. It's the handling that separates the Vette. Unfortunately for those of us who are enamored of the early cars, neither ever-increasing performance standards nor aging components have been particularly kind to our rides. Having already upgraded the brakes on "Scarlett, our 1972 Chevy Corvette Coupe project car, it was time to go through the suspension, starting with the front. Since the suspension of the Corvette was virtually unchanged from '63 until almost the end of the third generation, all of these modifications apply equally to midyears as well as sharks.
Before we get into the nuts and bolts of things, though, one of the biggest changes you can make in the handling is by changing the wheels and tires, and that's what we did first. Unlike the C2, which has seriously limited room under its bodywork for wide tires, the shark has plenty. Measuring carefully to get the maximum amount of rubber under the car with the minimum amount of interference, I settled on a set of Summit Racing Legend wheels in a 17x9-inch size for the both the front and the rear. They're visually similar to the classic gray-center, five-spoke wheels that appeared on many of the early race Corvettes, making them an excellent aesthetic fit for our '72. And thanks to the addition of a couple inches of wheel diameter—while keeping the outside diameter of the tire about the same—they allowed us to significantly reduce the amount of tire sidewall employed.
Much of what you deal with anytime there's rubber in the suspension is deflection: When things get "loaded," or have force put on them, rubber tends to give. When it's the sidewall of the tire, that deflection changes the radius at which the car negotiates curves. Suppose you're going into a hard right turn: The tire wants to stick the pavement, while the cornering forces on the wheel push against that, to the left. Since the tire is flexible, it doesn't track straight in the direction the car is going, but tends to "walk" toward the outside of the turn, meaning the car travels in a wider radius than you want it to. Reducing the amount of sidewall makes the car track straighter, since there's less sidewall to flex, and it also offers a much more positive feel. The downside, however, is that it makes the car's handling less forgiving, since you have less warning before the tire loses traction and begins to slide.
Obviously, we picked a wider wheel (the factory rims were 15x8 inches) in order to use wider tires, since more rubber on the road means more traction. For Scarlett, we selected BFGoodrich G-Force Sports, again supplied by Summit Racing, in a 275/40-17 size. When you consider that the stock tire was only around 215mm wide, you get the idea of how much larger a contact patch these BFGs create—something like an extra 2.5 inches of tread width. Wide front tires give great bite when you first turn into a corner, but also have a tendency to track changes in the roadway, so you have to pay close attention to keep the car from wandering.

Vladimir Vladimirovich Putin (Russian: Влади́мир Влади́мирович Пу́тин; IPA: [vɫɐˈdʲimʲɪr vɫɐˈdʲimʲɪrəvʲɪtɕ ˈputʲɪn] ( listen); born 7 October 1952) is a Russian politician who has been the President of Russia since 7 May 2012. Putin previously served as President from 2000 to 2008 and as Prime Minister of Russia from 1999 to 2000, and again from 2008 to 2012. Putin also serves as chairman of United Russia and Chairman of the Council of Ministers of the Union of Russia and Belarus. He became acting President on 31 December 1999, when president Boris Yeltsin resigned in a surprising move. Putin won the 2000 presidential election; in 2004 he was re-elected for a second term lasting until 7 May 2008.
Because of constitutionally mandated term limits, Putin was ineligible to run for a third consecutive presidential term. After his successor Dmitry Medvedev won the 2008 presidential election, Putin was nominated by Medvedev to be Russia's Prime Minister; Putin took office on 8 May 2008 and a period of so-called "tandemocracy" followed. In September 2011, Putin and Medvedev agreed he should seek a third, non-consecutive term in the 2012 presidential election, which he won in the first round on 4 March 2012.

If you lease a mooring space from Sag Harbor Village, and you only use it part-time, why not rent it out to transient boaters rather than let it sit vacant?
That's the theory behind Ken Deeg's business, which he has run out of the Sag Harbor for the past seven years. However, things are a little less laissez-faire this year.
After the Village of Sag Harbor voted to put a two-week restriction on the amount of time moorings can be used by anyone other than their primary permit holder, Deeg went west: to North Haven.
At a North Haven Village Board of Trustees meeting on Tuesday, May 1, Deeg stood before the board and requested a permit from the village to allow him to install an 800-pound mushroom mooring on the east side of North Haven, which would allow him to continue running his business without the restrictions imposed by Sag Harbor Village.
Deeg said he would charge transient boats $2 per foot, per night, and would not accept boats over 40 feet long.
"The cheapest dock in Sag Harbor is $4 a night," he said. "I would reduce my rate for the launch for North Haven residents."
Deeg explained that he'll continue to run his business in Sag Harbor this season, but his attempts to expand into North Haven are the result of what he predicts will be a major loss in business.
With only two weeks available at each mooring space, not only will his income drop (Deeg estimated he would have been able to sub-lease at least twice that length of time), but more boaters passing through will be left without mooring options in Sag Harbor.
"I'm just trying to add another mooring for transient use," he explained. Without it, he added, "I'm going to end up turning a lot of people away. There are going to be a lot of empty [moorings]."
Deeg, who has been in negotiations with Sag Harbor village officials and its harbor master all winter, said the decision to limit the amount of time mooring spaces can be sub-leased to transient boaters was made in an effort to prevent mooring holders from hanging onto their moorings during years in which they're not being used by the principal lease holder.
"[The village] doesn't want people to make enough money [through sub-leasing their moorings] to cover the cost of their mooring permit," Deeg explained, adding that there's currently a long waiting list for mooring space.
Board members said they needed time to discuss the proposition and browse insurance documents, but would re-visit the issue at their next meeting.
Deeg admitted boaters would probably prefer to be on the Sag Harbor side of the bay, "but if this is the only option, this is the only option."

I love these! I've gotten so many compliments on your emerald green ones that I've been asked to make 4 pairs for friends! I thought I would try all your handwarmer patterns. I do have a question, if I need to make them wider, is there a specific multiple I need to add like in increments of 2,4,6, etc. stitches?
- January 1, 2010 at 9:09 AM

I've just stumbled upon your blog and am loving all your knitting patterns. Thanks for sharing them. you are also furthering my desire to learn to crochet.
- February 5, 2010 at 3:14 PM
I love these!! So cozy and cute! I'm having a little trouble with row 3 though! It keeps decreasing and I don't think it's supposed to. is it? And if not what am I doing wrong? Thanks in advance! :)
- November 15, 2010 at 2:11 PM
I'm having the same problem as Madisyn! My rows keep decreasing. :-( what are we doing wrong? I love these and am hoping to make a few pair for Christmas presents but need to figure out the decreasing first. :)
- November 27, 2010 at 8:45 PM
These look beautiful, but as others have posted, I'm also confused about Row 3 of the body. For those of us who are newbie knitters, would you please spell out that line of the pattern. Specifically, we need to know what the empty set of parentheses indicates. If I do k1, *SKP, yo; rep from * to last st, k1, something obviously goes wrong. So, the parens must mean something, but no amount of Googling has revealed anything. According to my research, there is usually info in the parentheses that we're supposed to follow. Thanks in advance for us newbies! I can't wait to make my first pair of handwarmers using this lovely pattern. Best, Sheryl :-)
- December 28, 2010 at 2:13 PM
The pattern is fine, as I'm finding out. The 3rd row is setting up the eyelet just slightly to the right of Row 1's eyelets. To do that (SKPO) slip the first stitch onto the right needle (S) - then knit the next stitch (K) - then pass (P) the slipped stitch over (O)the stitch just knitted. Always count the stitches on the purl side to check that you have 32 stitches. It does work out!

High profile lawyer, Mark Hunter has an impeccable record putting criminals behind bars and is a shoo-in for governor in the upcoming election. But when ambitious rookie journalist, C.J. Nicholas begins investigating Hunter for tampering with evidence to secure his convictions, the district attorney's perfect record is up for scrutiny. Commencing a risky game of cat-and-mouse with Hunter, C.J. frames himself as a murder suspect to catch the corrupt D.A. in the act. Romantically involved with C.J. but unaware of his assignment, assistant D.A. Ella Crystal becomes caught between her boss's political ambitions and C.J's dangerous exposé. As mounting evidence stacks up against both men, Ella's own life becomes threatened when she discovers incriminating proof that puts the fate of both C.J's innocence and Hunter's reputation in her hands.

The interim head of the Ross School who will officially take over for current Head of School Michele Claeys when she leaves the position this July.
You've been in the admissions department at various private schools for many years, currently serving as dean of admissions and financial aid at Lawrenceville School in New Jersey. How easily do you see yourself transitioning into the role of interim head of school at Ross?
The things I did [as dean of admissions] — like changing the student composition and creating new summer programs to make it easier for new kids to transition into the school — those were systemic changes. I did these things in concert with lots of different issues, all really with the mind that I would eventually like to run a school one day.
What's one of the challenges you think a head of school faces these days?
Understanding what kind of curriculum is needed today. If you want to train doctors, lawyers and businessmen, then you know what to do. But what if we're talking about graduating the people who are going to invent the next version of the Internet, or — who knows — interplanetary travel? You're going to need a different kind of education, one that's not so focused on set boundaries.
What's one specific task you'll have to tackle when you officially come onboard at Ross in July?
The school is now 20 years old, so one of the first things we'll be doing is looking at the next decade, hopefully the next 100 years. It's time to think about how the school can become sustainable over time.
The second priority is the boarding program. It's brand new, so we're looking to figure out how that boarding program can grow.
With the whole world at your fingertips, where do you even begin?
Strategically, we look at areas around the world that have an interest in boarding schools and have elementary and middle schools that can [prepare] kids leaving them [for boarding school abroad].
I know there are currently a lot of students from China. Do you try to balance where the students come from?
There is a disproportionate number of students at Ross from China. But, for one thing, Ross has just introduced a Mandarin program K-12, so it was the school's initiative to get some kids who speak Mandarin on the campus. The other thing is that China is the newest big market for boarding schools.
You've alluded to the fact that a lot of boarding schools are taking in a lot of Chinese students. But, are they doing more than just filling their beds? A lot of them aren't. Because Ross has a mission to create a sense of globalism, Chinese history is an active part of the academic curriculum.
Just this February, 100 kids from Ross actually went to China for M-terms.
At the end of the school year you'll officially make the move from New Jersey to Long Island. Are you excited to move to the East End?
Thrilled! I don't want to get on that bandwagon of dissing New Jersey, but… I'm interested in being in a location that's naturally beautiful [laughs]. The clean air, the sunshine — it's paradise!

Measure all your windows, as the sizes may vary. Then measure 3 places horizontally & 3 places vertically, in case your windows aren't 100% square.
One of the first things to decide is where your blind/curtain will sit - the inside or outside the window frame (they provide different dimensions).
You have to determine the rod thickness, bracket installation, rod length, amount of top treatments and finally the number of pinch pleat panels.
Horizontal & vertical blinds, with inside or outside mounts, have different measuring processes. Shutters & roller shades also have variables to consider.

A MyBlock primer (with a side of math)
As an example, here's one way to make a MyBlock that does the Modulo math function (if you've never heard of that, don't worry - it's very similar to finding the remainder of a long division problem). First I make a program to do this, but I make it in a special way. I start out and end with "dummy" variables for the inputs and outputs to the math operation I want to build. I named these variables something that made sense to me, but it wasn't neccessary, just a handy memory aid.
Now I'd like to take the important math operations and package them up in a MyBlock, along with the all-important wiring. All I need to do is select all the blocks I want to end up in my new MyBlock, and then click on the "=" button in the toolbar at the top of the screen. That's it! The needed wiring will follow along. I usually think about this as "tearing" or "ripping" a MyBlock from a "wrapper" program.
Immediately a dialog box pops up where I'm shown a preview of what's being put in the MyBlock, and I can add a name and a text description. The name will appear along the bottom of the MyBlock for easy identification both in the Custom pallet (where it will eventually end up) and in the actual program.
A second dialog box in this series allows me to drag and drop small icons onto a "blank" block icon, so I can design the look of the new icon for my block. I just click and drag icons from the pallet on the bottom into the white square, and I can move them around up there as well, allowing me to position more than one for more variety.
When I finish these dialogs, the editor creates the new MyBlock for me, obligingly replacing the blocks I selected in my original program with a copy of my newly-minted MyBlock, all wired in place and ready to go. Any wires that "crossed the boundries" of the MyBlock I creating have been replaced by plugs, so I can now wire values into and out of the MyBlock.
But what if you need to change something now? After all, I never get everything right the first time through. No problem, just double-click on the MyBlock and it obligingly opens up in its own window, where you can view what's there as well as edit it further if you want:
You can add comments, or add entire blocks, rewire things or move them around. About the only thing you can't do is add new wires in or out of the MyBlock: these need to be present at the creation of it (at least I've not yet found a way around this, if it exists).
These MyBlocks are saved for you, and then appear in the "Custom" pallet that Jim previously listed. There are even ways to change where they appear in the Custom pallet, so you can organize them as you see fit. You can also re-edit the icon or description of the MyBlocks later on.
Just to illustrate a slightly more complex MyBlock, here's the view inside a MyBlock that does a simple calculation for any calculator, but one noticably lacking on many small robots: sin(x), where x is an angle in degrees. This MyBlock returns the sin(x) times 1000 (why? Because the NXT uses only integer variables). It uses a version of the block we just created to streamline the calculation right near the beginning, as well as file operations (it reads from a table of values the help with the calculation).

Trig! On a NXT! Awesome!
I can see a BIG desire for 'packages' of common functionalities being made available, so I hope that there is an easy way to share MyBlocks. (I saw something like a 'webBlock' earlier?)
I also hope the community polices itself enough to prevent 1000 versions of 'Modulo' being published.

Yes, as I understand it, MyBlocks can be shared... (they are simple single-file entities that could be emailed as attachments). My guess is that the "Web Downloads" toolbar item will hold blocks that LEGO has available on their websites as "official" - this might solve your issue of multiple MyBlocks for one function. But remember, build a better mousetrap...
[Brian: GREAT primer on MyBlocks!]

> Trig! On a NXT! Awesome!
And as you noted, especially now that encoders are built in to the motors, there will be a use for things like this. I tossed out sin(x) becasue trig is something that has come up already, but it's only the beginning of the power of MyBlocks. for instance, how do you make a cos(x) MyBlock? Simple: make a MyBlock that adds 90 to the angle measurement before calling the sin(x) MyBlock. In an earlier comment I mentioned that arrays are not supported... but I'm already using them, via some MyBlock coding.
The basic blocks are good, and in my opinion well thought out... and the MyBlocks give a flexibility and expandability that is lightyears beyond what the RIS had.
As to a proliferation of MyBlocks, yes, this could be an issue. For instance, if you want to trade programs with someone, you don't need to just send them the program: you also need to send them any required MyBlocks (including, of course, MyBlocks that are needed as part of other MyBlocks). *And*, you need to make sure that there are no problems with similarly named MyBlocks (or variables, in some cases; the "scope" of variables within MyBlocks and programs is not yet well understood). But on the whole, MyBlocks are one of the SW features I am most excited about.
[Jim: Thank you, and thanks for running this blog and inviting more of us to participate!]

"...About the only thing you can't do is add new wires in or out of the MyBlock: these need to be present at the creation of it (at least I've not yet found a way around this, if it exists)."
Can you try option-draging or ctrl-draging one of the inputs or outputs? That is a LabVIEW trick to quickly duplicate an item.

Indeed, option-dragging duplicates things very nicely (thank you!), but it doesn't *quite* fix the problem. Yes, it will "clone" a new plug, but this plug is never revealed in the datahub of the block (that pop-down line or "drawer" of plugs, for those of you wondering). No revealed plug, no way to connect a wire.

Two questions: does the myblock need to be downloaded to the NXT brick or does compilation fetch and expand it?
Can a myblock call itself?

1. They seem to auto-download with the program.
2. I don't think so, but there is really no point.

While I realize I authored that FPS Fiesta contest description, in restrospect, I think it might be a better idea (and make your life easier, as far as fielding questions regarding what's legal subject matter and what isn't) to include light gun games, rather than exclude them, simply because they are so similar, and, in some cases (particularly light gun games that aren't on rails and allow the player to freely navigate the game environment), pretty much indistinguishable.

May trip to Chocolate Bayou, June trips to South Llano and Skimmer saltwater trip
0 Members and 1 Guest are viewing this topic.
Not recommended...lots of water less than 2' deep, the kayakers are going to cover miles per day not likely to do that in a "belly tube". Limestone river bottom not good for tubes, derneer fabric or not. If water levels are down you may end up walking or "portaging" alot.
Puck I bought a belly tube will this work? or just fish from bank. I see if I can get a kitchen pass...This is my retirement month, I should be free...all is left is to burn off the days...
