In this course, author Dermot O' Connor introduces a variety of real-world issues that animators commonly encounter and offers practical solutions to them in Flash. The course covers how to apply gradients to create subtle texture and light characters, reducing the flat look of most cartoons; how to simulate natural phenomenon such as wind, fire, and clouds; how to mimic 3D space; and how to add fades and transitions to create custom cuts between scenes. The course also includes a look at staggers, which can be used to create camera shake, tremor effects, and extreme character reactions.
Okay, so we are back again and we are going to finish the walk cycle. So I'm just going to double-click, go back into the walk, and now we start adding the passing position. So the reason why we got the tweens to make everything work was to allow Flash to calculate the positions of the feet on the guidelines. We will make some changes, but obviously we need to make this a little different. So let's hit F6 on this passing position; insert a new keyframe, and the hints are basically calling on the wrong positions.
So the first thing we need to do is just reposition the animation first, before I apply the hints. So what's going to happen here is that back foot, that's this one here, that's going to be lifting off the ground as it moves forward, so let's do that first. Okay, so now let's activate our hints again. Modify>Shape>Add Shape Hint, and it adds a fifth hint that we don't need, so let's remove that. And we will scrub through to the next key, and just reapply these fellows.
Now we can see it's starting to look a little better. We need to add hints to the second step, because when we made F6 here it called the hints to this keyframe, whereas they used to be on the contact position. So let's go back to here, and I am going to add four more hints on the passing position. Scrub through to the second contact and put them down there.
And what you are going to see is the hints from the previous keyframe, from passing to contact being overlaid over contact to the next contact. So it can be confusing, but that is just a part of the process that we have to endure I am afraid. So now we have at least the foot working. So I'm going to actually leave that for now, and make the same process happen on the second passing position. Hit F6 on the second passing position, same thing has happened here. That will temporarily break our nice tweening, but what we need to do is figure out where we need the foot that's lifting off the ground, and I believe it's this one here.
So let's lift that first. And yet another reminder: if you get something working the way you like, save these files very often. So obviously the hints are completely in the wrong positions, so let's pull them in now. There we go; actually there are now no hints between these two frames, which is kind of nice. Occasionally you will get lucky with some of this. So we need to obviously push these passing positions a little bit. The passing pose tends to be a little higher than the contacts, so we need to lift this part of the body higher.
So let's hide the hints for now. And not by a lot, but just enough to give it a little bit more attitude here. And I am going to push his chest out, watching the volume so we don't make them too big, and that hasn't broken any of the tweening. Same thing here; you can usually make big changes on the passing position, but for a first scene, if this is your first scene, I wouldn't go too crazy. Keep it reasonably functional for now, but you can later on, if you get braver, make some pretty huge alterations. Any alterations you make to the passing position that are really substantial, if you do something like this, for example; you know, you can get away with them.
I like that, so you know what, I am going to do that here too. Make him a little cocky; nice. Okay, so the next thing that we do; we will go into the recoil, and we will have to squash him on this. You can see immediately some of our tweens are beginning to break down here; I am not going to worry about that immediately, but I want to first build the squash. So I am just going to select everything and pull it down. Watch to make sure that that foot, this one here, is still on that little orange line. And this is like more of a squashing of the leg underneath the body, and to look at the original, that's what we are kind of trying to emulate or give the impression of. And I am going to pull the shoulders down just a little bit more; see if this works. Seems to.
So now let's fix those hints again. I hit Control+Shift+H; creates a fifth hint that's not needed. Remove that, and I'm going to scrub through, and you can see obviously these little guys keep moving around, so you keep pulling them in. That might seem like, why on earth are we doing this moving hints around? It is a nuisance, but look how cool this is when you get it to work. So they're basically little temporary placeholders that constantly change position. I would love it if they would lock themselves onto these points and never move, but sadly Flash doesn't do that, so we have to work around that.
Anyway, let's go to the second recoil, hit F6, and same thing here. I am going to just select the whole thing; Q, Free Transform, pull this down, and maybe squash the -- as best as we can with four vertices and four lines. It's nice working within these constraints sometimes, because it really focuses your mind on just personality of this object. So now that that's done let's see if it matches the other one. So I am just going to go back to the other recoil. See, this one is a little higher than that; you want them to match reasonably well. So I am going to pull him down a bit more.
See if it's a little closer. That's much better; that's a nicer transition. So now I'll go in, and Control+Shift+H to make a fifth unnecessary hint; remove that. And go to this next one, and once again, let's pull everything back in. So it's broken this transition here. So I am going to make some new hints to protect that. I will remind you again, be sure you save your project. If you fix the passings the way you like; save, save, save again.
Now, we are starting to really see a walk. And one last little touch, the highpoint. F6 that, and this is the highpoint. So pull them up. Maybe we can stretch them a little bit. I am going to fix those hints, and I am also going to pull that foot up. See if we can get away with that. And maybe bring it forward a little bit.
That's nice. And the other one, F6 this, pull them up, lift that up. Don't change this one. The whole of point of doing this is, do not mess with the feet that are contacting the ground; Flash has calculated the positions of those better than a human can. So now let's play that through.
That's looking really nice. And what's giving it that ping effect that you're feeling: that's the little chest pump that I put into the passing positions. If you want to get that to work then do it on the passing. If you do that once the recoil and the high points are set, you probably will see movements aren't as smooth as you would like. The reason why this is feeling so smooth is that a lot of tweening has been done by the computer, and that's a very difficult thing to get right by hand. I find sometimes, I will do these walks, and it's easier, if I want to make a drastic change, just delete the recoil, delete the highpoint, and redo the passing if you want to make those big changes. Then redo the recoil and the highpoint after Flash has calculated all of the little bits and pieces that have to be filled in.
So that's it. And on the outer, as you can see, this is simple enough. All I did here was create the -- well I'll do it again. I'll just copy this; paste it. Control+Shift+V to paste in place. And the only thing you really need to watch out for if you're making -- let's say now we will make a classic tween. And the only thing to watch out for when you start positioning this across the screen is the foot placement. If you place it too far, he seems to be skating on ice. The feet are sliding too far forward. If I put them too close, he seems to be moonwalking. He is barely moving forward at all.
So there is kind of a magic distance for every walk, depending on the spacing of the feet. That's not too far away. So as you can see, that's what I have already worked out here on the bottom layer. It could be improved; there is some stuff that's still happening there. It's really only a matter of going in, and finding the ideal distance so that that doesn't happen. And I would say this one it's probably a little bit further down to her. And sometimes when I position these, what I will do is unguide the Guide layer so that I can see the guides, and then I can make sure that my actual angle is being consistent across the screen as well.
And when I am happy with it, I can go in, and guide them back out again. So never delete your guide layers. They are always handy to have in case you ever have to go back and make changes. So that's it. We have made a magic carpet walk across the screen.

By Linda D. KozarynAmerican Forces Press Service
TUZLA, BOSNIA, April 4, 1996 U.S. soldiers are now supporting the international war crimes tribunal investigating alleged war crime sites in the Srebrenica area, a DoD spokesman said.
Units of the 2nd Brigade, 1st Armored Division, are providing area security, a liaison team, base camp accommodations, vehicle recovery and emergency medical care for the investigators, the spokesman said. The tribunal is investigating claims of mass killings and grave sites and other war crimes.
"We will not guard grave sites," said Adm. Leighton W. Smith, NATO Implementation Force commander. "We will not exhume bodies. We will not provide individual security." Smith said this is obviously an emotional issue, but he does not anticipate there will be any problems.
Support to civilian investigators is not new, according to Smith. It's been done in the British sector, and NATO officials expected support would be needed in other sectors as well, he said. This is the first time implementation forces have assisted the tribunal in the U.S. sector in northern Bosnia, a DoD spokesman said.
Smith said NATO forces will provide intelligence assessments and information about roads and logistics in the area. "If necessary, we can provide lodging for them in our base camp, which provides for their security at night," he said. "We can provide a liaison team for them that will have communications, and we will be able to respond immediately in the event that they need our help."
Support will be provided "based on a specific request, within our capability, and not to impede upon our basic military mission," the DoD spokesman said. This is in accordance with the Dayton Agreement and not an expansion of the Implementation Force's mission, he said, adding, "These are things we are uniquely qualified to do."

International Journal of Cancer, 05/25/2012
Results for breast cancer specific mortality were also suggestive of a higher risk but were not statistically significant. In addition to being a risk factor for breast cancer, a high pre–diagnostic alcohol intake also seems to have an effect on the course of the disease. The authors could not relate the finding to a specific tumor presentation.

Recap?|? Box Score?|? Notes?|? Photo Gallery
UNM Head Coach Rocky Long
(On the play of the offensive /DonTrell Moore): "I thought having (senior OL) Justin (Coulburn) out would have line hurt our performance, but obviously it didn't and I thought in the last two years, that's the best DonTrell's run with the football. Not only was he finding holes, but he was also running hard and breaking tackles. I thought the combination of the offensive line blocking very well and DonTrell running better that he has been, they had a great night on offense."
(On getting the first win over CSU in MWC play): "It's a great victory for our team. We are a football team that keeps hearing that we can't do things, but somehow we do things nobody expects us to do. That was just a bunch of guys hanging in there even though things looked terrible. At the end we couldn't protect the lead and their quarterback was making great plays, especially on fourth down. This win was a great win, but it was no more important than beating San Diego State or Utah, and it's not going to be any more important than when we playing Air Force next week."
(On CSU QB Bradlee Van Pelt): "He is a great football player. There's not many quarterbacks in the country that can handle the pressure we put on him. He must have been hit about 50 times and kept making plays. He's probably the best running quarterback in the country."
CSU Head Coach Sonny Lubick
"I am proud of our football team. I think they did a hell of a job. I think they showed what they are made of. To be honest, I told them that I was as proud of them as I've been all year. I am proud of the way we fought back. All we had to do was make two or three first downs and it would have been us trying the field goal instead of them."
(On DonTrell Moore): "He ran the ball real well. Midway through the third quarter, I think we started playing pretty good on defense. We gave up a couple of big plays again, but that's what we've been doing all year long for some reason. Our biggest mistake was that we were in the hole and we weren't tackling the guy. He'd bounce off us and a three-yard gain turns into a 12-yard gain."
New Mexico Junior K Wes Zunker
(On his game-winning kick): "Well, it never should have gotten that far, but the whole time I was thinking, 'This is going to be a close one,' and I knew it could come down to me. I just tried to stay warm and stay ready throughout the whole game. We got a lucky break at the end of the game and from then on I tried to stay to myself and get my mind right, just try to relax. I'd hit two already so why not three? I just tried to stay relaxed and tried not to think about the situation until afterwards. "
New Mexico Junior NT Kyle Coulter
(On his fumble recovery late in the game): "I knew they had to throw it down the field and work their way down there. It was going to be a pass. I had my assignment and I was able to get penetration and work myself through there. I happened to be at the right place at the right time."
(On facing CSU QB Bradlee Van Pelt): "He's a heckuva player. He's a great competitor and a great athlete. We knew we had our work cut out for us and thankfully we were able to make enough plays."
New Mexico Sophomore RB DonTrell Moore
(On his performance): "It was unbelievable. It was like I was on fire. Sometimes you get in a zone. Those offensive linemen are unbelievable. They work hard every single day and they don't get the credit they deserve, but from the running backs they do. The game ball goes to them by far. On several occasions, I only had to make one guy miss because they were blocking ten guys."

SCRANTON — There is question what will happen now to a downtown building in Scranton that caught fire. Wednesday night's fire hit one of only a few buildings in the 500 block of Lackawanna Avenue that wasn't condemned a few years ago to make way for new development.
That side of the 500 block of Lackawanna Avenue was renovated a few years ago, and it's obvious where those renovations stopped: at 506 Lackawanna, the long-vacant building burned Wednesday night and now business owners are wondering how long it will look like this.
The fire engines and huge billows of smoke on Lackawanna Avenue in Scranton sparked fear for the many business owners, old and new, who work in this part of downtown.
"You hold your breath. Before we even moved in here that was my main concern. The buildings are just so close that you worry about what could happen," said Joann Finnerty of Bella Faccia.
Finnerty is one of those new business owners, who set up a chocolate shop in the renovated section of the 500 block. Fortunately for her, the fire didn't spread far. It started on an upper floor of one of the only buildings not condemned and renovated on this block.
Folks there say the storefront's been vacant for years but someone may have been living upstairs.
The building has been up for sale for almost a year, according to the realtor posted on the window and they say they haven't been able to get in touch with the building's owner in months.
The Leiderkranz club and Buona Pizza on either side of the building stayed closed to clean up minor smoke damage. Business owners who did open up were left wondering what would happen next. Many say this building's only been a reminder of what the 500 block used to look like.
"I hope now that this has happened, it's a very unfortunate incident, but hopefully something more constructive or beautiful will go there, even a parking lot that we need desperately," said Finnerty.
"Any kind of active business would be nice. It's always good to have anything, even another restaurant, I'd be happy. It's always good to have traffic on the street," said Peter Ventura of Coney Island Lunch.
The city of Scranton tried to condemn the building several years ago so it could be included in the renovation project but weren't successful.
Just a few hours ago, city officials hung the condemned signs on the doors.
Scranton fire investigators still haven't determined what caused the fire.

March 3, 2006
UPDATE -- University of New Mexico sophomore Whitney Johnson and senior Timmie Murphy each have one final chance to qualify for the 2006 NCAA Indoor Championship meet. Johnson is in Colorado Springs, Colo. where she will compete in the pole vault this evening at the Don Barrett Air Force Open. Murphy, meanwhile, is traveling to Seattle for the University of Washington's NCAA Last Chance Qualifier meet. She will run the 3,000 meters tomorrow at 4:30 p.m. (MST). The selections for NCAA Indoor Championships (March 10-11 in Fayetteville, Ark.) will be announced on Monday, March 6.
The NCAA selection process has been an inexact science over the years with anywhere from 14-21 athletes being selected in any one event. Generally though, no more than 17 competitors make the cut for nationals.
Johnson surpassed the NCAA provisional qualifying standard in the pole vault with a season-best mark of 12-11.50 on Jan. 28 at the UNM Invitational at the Albuquerque Convention Center, but she will likely need to improve six inches in order to advance to the NCAA meet. Her current mark is tied for 36th in the country. The Mission Viejo, Calif. native owns a career-best of 13-00.25, which she recorded last year at the Mountain West Conference Indoor Championship meet in Colorado Springs.
Murphy just missed the NCAA provisional mark in the 3,000 last week in Albuquerque, clocking an career-best (altitude adjusted) time of 9:37.20 en route to a second place finish at the MWC Championships. She will likely need to run within two seconds of the NCAA automatic qualifying time of 9:16.00 to join the national championship field. The Farmington, N.M. native will be running at sea level for just the second time this winter. She ran a time of 9:46.99 in Lincoln, Neb. on Feb. 4 in her last low elevation race.
Last year, UNM head coach Matt Henry took six athletes, including Johnson, to South Bend, Ind. for a last chance meet at Notre Dame. Seniors Matt Gonzales was the only Lobo to move on to the NCAA Championships, winning his first career indoor 5,000m race with a automatic qualifying time of 13:49.06 to become the first member of the UNM men's team in 14 years to secure a berth at the indoor national championship meet. Gonzales went on to earn All-America honors at the NCAA meet, placing fourth in the 5,000 with a time of 13:45.72.
VAULTERS AWAIT OFFICIAL INVITATION -- Senior Derek Mackel and junior Robert Caldwell will both be resting comfortably at home in Albuquerque this weekend awaiting their official invitation to the pole vault field at the 2006 NCAA Indoor Championship meet. Mackel is currently ranked seventh in the nation with a top mark of 17-11.00 (Jan. 21 in Albuquerque), while Caldwell climbed up to 11th on the national list with his clearance of 17-07.25 at the MWC Championship meet last week in Albuquerque.
Mackel was one of the last pole vaulters cut from the NCAA Championship field last year, finishing the year ranked 18th with a top mark of 17-05.50. The NCAA selection committee invited 17 athletes to compete in the pole vault at the 2005 national championship meet.
New Mexico has never had a pair of pole vaulters invited to the NCAA Championships in the same season. Simon Arkell is the only men's vaulter to appear in the NCAA Indoor meet, while Bridgid Isworth (2003) is the only women to compete in the pole vault at the national meet. Arkell qualified in 1987, `89 and `90, earning All-America honors with his seventh place finish in `89. Arkell, Isworth and Joe Powdrell (outdoor - 1967) are the only UNM pole vaulters ever to compete at the NCAA Championship meet.
UNM has not sent athletes to the NCAA Indoor Championships in consecutive years since 1989-90. 1990 was also the last time two Lobos appeared at the indoor meet with Arkell in the pole vault and Darren Crawford in the weight throw.

CRESTVIEW — A National Weather Service wind advisory is in effect for the inland Okaloosa County area from 10 a.m. to 7 p.m. today. This includes Crestview, Milton, Niceville and Eglin Air Force Base.
Winds of 25 to 39 miles per hour are expected. The Okaloosa County Sheriff's Office stated that winds that strong make driving high profile vehicles difficult, and are capable of blowing around lightweight and unsecured outdoor objects.
Residents are urged to use extra caution and secure any lightweight outdoor objects.

Cheddar Pocket, a men's accessory label, was formed by a couple of friends in Sydney as all the wallets they found were either dull or expensive.
"Cheddar" is a term surfers on Australia's central coast use for money and that's how their company began - designing pockets for 'cheddar'. Simple really, just like their belts, bags and wallets.
The premise behind everything they make, do and create is fairly basic: "Be honest, but never be dull."
No results.

Can the Heat Repeat on 2013-14?
NBA finals 2013 become one of the best finals on my list, the San Antonio Spurs Read more...
Fri 15th, June 2012
Tucson, AZ (Sports Network) - The Arizona Board of Regents on Friday approved an extension of Arizona head men's basketball coach Sean Miller's contract through the 2016-17 season.
Miller is 69-35 in three seasons with the Wildcats. He guided the 2011 squad to a regular-season Pac-12 championship and an Elite Eight appearance in the NCAA Tournament. He was named Pac-12 coach of the year for his efforts.
"I would like to take this opportunity to thank President (Ann Weaver) Hart, Dr. (Eugene) Sander and Greg Byrne for their continued belief in me as the Head Basketball Coach at the University of Arizona," Miller said. "During the last three years we have been able to lay a strong foundation for future success both in the classroom and on the basketball court. I look forward to the challenges that lie ahead as we work toward building our program into a national contender once again."
The future is bright for Arizona, as Miller's incoming recruiting class was considered among the nation's top three.

Hagel debate ends: The U.S. Senate voted 58-41 on Tuesday in favor of Chuck Hagel for secretary of defense.
The Senate voted 58-41 on Tuesday, clearing the way for Chuck Hagel to lead the Pentagon as the new secretary of defense.
Hagel will replace outgoing Defense Secretary Leon Panetta.
Four Republicans and 54 Democrats voted for Hagel on Tuesday's second, and final vote.
Obama nominated Hagel, a former Republican senator of Nebraska, for the position on Jan. 7.
Hagel's nomination was met with criticism, especially from Senate Republicans.
"There are those of us who seek to cut waste, fraud, and abuse from the Department of Defense," said Senator John McCain during a Senate floor debate earlier this month, reported Bloomberg News.
"Senator Hagel seeks something else entirely—to cut military capabilities that serve as tools to ensure our continued engagement through the world in support of America's interests and those of our allies."
Hagel is a conservative Republican and a decorated war hero. He also co-chaired Obama's Intelligence Advisory Board.

- Greg Ostendorf, ESPN Staff Writer
TUSCALOOSA, Ala. -- When ESPN 150 defensive tackle Dee Liner (Muscle Shoals, Ala./Muscle Shoals) committed to Auburn during the summer prior to his junior season, it surprised a lot of people. After all, he was the state's top player, and he was making his decision almost two and a half years before he would have to sign his national letter of intent.
Liner grew up a fan of the Tigers, so the choice shouldn't have come as a surprise -- but why pull the trigger so early?
Looking back, Auburn was coming off a national championship and had a lot of momentum on the recruiting trail. The in-state native had just visited AU two weeks earlier for their Big Cat Weekend. He must have felt right.
However, with signing day fast approaching, the football landscape in the state of Alabama has changed drastically since Liner made that initial commitment.
The Crimson Tide just won their second national championship in three years, and if not for a loss to Texas A&M last weekend, they would be in the driver's seat for a third. They also pulled in the nation's top recruiting class a year ago.
On the other side of the state, Auburn just lost 38-0 to Georgia to drop the Tigers to 2-8 on the season and 0-7 in the SEC. Rumors concerning the future of AU head coach Gene Chizik have started to circulate across the Southeast.
If Chizik is let go, Auburn's top-10 recruiting class might start falling by the wayside, and Liner could be one of the first to flip.
The big, 6-foot-4, 292-pound defensive lineman has been in Tuscaloosa for each of the Tide's past two home games against Mississippi State and Texas A&M. He plans to return for the Iron Bowl on Saturday, Nov. 24.
Just by taking his visits, Liner has shown that he's at least open to looking at other schools.
And really, why not Alabama? They're the top in-state school right now. They're winning. They're sending players to the next level on a regular basis. And as long as Saban is sticking around, they're not going anywhere for awhile.
On top of that, Liner fills one of the Tide's needs in the 2013 class, a versatile defensive lineman who can play both inside and outside and have the ability to dominate up front. The UA coaches have been searching for the next Marcell Dareus, a former All-American and current NFL star, and Liner fits the bill.
The only potential road block could be his ties to Auburn growing up. Ask anybody in the state, and it's clear, you don't switch from Auburn to Alabama or vice versa. If Chizik is let go, will Liner turn his back on the Tigers for the Tide?
Regardless of what he decides to do, it will only add to the legacy of the rivalry.

DIY Charging Station
To say that I am fond of cable management is a bit of an understatement. When confronted with a tangled rat's nest of wires I can concentrate on little else. Jaws clenched and temples throbbing the world silently fades as my focus gets narrower and more fierce. That mess is broken, and I have to fix it. Why won't they let me fix it? Alternately, each encounter with a tightly velcro'd grouping of insulated conductor proves enticing much like the garter on a lass's upper--
Ahem. Yeah, I like clean cabling, both its aesthetic and efficiency.
My computer workstations at work and home are already upstanding pillars to this interest. However, the myriad of AC adapters for my portable electronics were in dire need of some attention. I needed a charging station.
Off-the-shelf valets run upwards of $30 but are devoid of the home-brewed functionality for what I had in mind. There is no lack of options either at Instructables or otherwise for the DIY solution but while everything I came across certainly hid the cables many seemed a bit lacking in presentation.
I wanted a solution that would mesh well with my living room while keeping the functionality of the other stations. Something that was cheap but didn't look it. Something that was easy to use and eventually modify down the inevitable upgrade road.
Hit the jump for the step-by-step process of what I came up with using $25 worth of on-hand materials.
Let me start with the fact that this layout is ultra flexible. Nearly every material can be substituted with something more pleasing or simple to acquire. There are but two main factors that distinguish this design from others:
- It closes (hinged lid)
- Use of a false bottom
- Vessel. I acquired the two boxes pictured above on sale from a craft store. Each was $10.
- Surge protector. Container size and number of items to power will dictate.
- Platform. I used 1/8" pegboard. It's easy to cut and pretty cheap if you buy a sheet of the stuff. You'll need an area equal to the opening of your vessel.
- Pigtails/Extension cords. Unless you go the squid-route you'll need something to allow for the boxier AC adapters.
- Support for the platform. I tried something different for each box. One used 1/2" wooden dowel cuttings and the other some leftover foaming insulation.
- Optional: Bolts with Wingnuts. This is to secure the platform to the support while allowing easy access.
- Eye protection: Safety first.
- Tape measure
- Drill with appropriate bits to create a 1" hole in the container
- Circular saw. Overkill for the pegboard but each cut took literally 15 seconds. Your choice in platform material will dictate.
- Adhesive. I used a quick-set epoxy, only needed to attach the dowel sections and bolts.
- Serrated knife. Only needed to cut the cured insulation.
- Optional: Dremel with sanding bits. I used this for the notching and sanding of all cuts.
Step 1: Create a Hole
This is where the male end of your surge protector will exit the vessel. I started with a 1" bit and then sanded a bit further for a cleaner finish.
Step 2: Build your Support
The idea is to line the edges with your material of choice. Here the foam is applied and, after curing (8 hours), will be cut back to allow the most volume inside the box while still supporting the platform soundly.
You'll also see a bolt in each corner. This finished product doesn't use them but keeps the option of securing the platform to the support open. Simply epoxy appropriately sized bolts to the bottom of the container prior to filling in your support medium.
Step 3: Build your Platform
Your platform will be equal in size to the area of the inside opening of your container. Simply measure twice, cut once. I'm fond of pegboard but you could easily use anything from cardboard to felt-covered wicker as long as it rests on your support and can be notched to allow cable access. My camera charger plugs directly in to the wall (no cables) so I had to drill a hole to accommodate.
Step 4: Install Cabling
Here's where your surge protector, pigtails, and AC adapters come in to play. I'd make this as neat as possible to ensure future expansion is smooth but the only real requirements entail plugging in and not spilling over the top. Estimate the ideal cable lengths and tie back accordingly.
Step 5: Install the Platform
This step involves topping off the container. You'll want to play around to achieve a good balance of item placement ahead of time so that your notches are spaced accordingly. I used the Dremel to sand holes for the connections but your medium will dictate.
Ideally the flat surface will sit slightly recessed from the top while allowing it to close fully. The biggest pain here was the Canon battery charger.
Step 6: Geek it Out
Sorry Mr. Neruda but function is not enough for me.
Most of the cheaper DIY charging stations out there utilize a plastic/rubber bin with holes cut in the top. We just did the same thing with a wooden box that cost but a fraction more. Why? Because we wanted that shiz to look nice.
I added a small accent light from an unused shadow box I had laying around. It does nothing but illuminate the electronics.
Though the larger of the two stations accommodates the entirety of my pockets' contents, at the end of the day I can better appreciate the footprint of the smaller.
I'd like to tie in some sort of external charge indicator lights or individual on/off switches like this guy did but really, the sky's the limit. If you want to put in a twitter-responsive remote-control door with secondary biometric authentication I urge you to.
Then send me the pics.
If you know what I mean.

Posted by Neighborhood Snob on 02/28/2013
I'm spurred to write this review tonight because of the excellent comfort food we just ate: fried rice. It may be one of the perfect comfort foods, and Mr. Tong's is excellent--not greasy, not to salty, not too anything, and each grain seared nicely. My spouse had veggie with some fried tofu, and he loved it. I ordered the Young Chow fried rice, and it may be the best I've ever had. We regularly order vegetarian dishes from Mr Tong, but our favorite might be the veggie Mu Shu. Sauces are never too heavy. My one disappointing experience was Gen Tso's tofu (the broccoli was dismal and way too much sauce), but I should have known better, anyway. After ordering from Mr Tong's for 6+ years, we're still calling back. Delivery people are nice, too. (If you have a problem, call and let them know: they're good at making up for it.)
Posted by stenro on 02/17/2013
As takeout Chinese goes (not takeout from an actual sit-down restaurant) Mr. Tong is a great choice. Food taste and quality is above average. Everything is always prepared well, not greasy and quality is consistent. When ordering on the phone, delivery is here less than 20 minutes after hanging up the phone.
Posted by Anonymous on 02/06/2012
The food is okay but the service is rude. I don't need to be verbally abused by Mr. Tong when I can order from another place.
Posted by Matt F. on 12/25/2011
The first time I ate from here I liked it but regretted it later. I gave them a second chance and I'm so glad that I did. While the food is nothing fancy everything is always solid to above average. They make a great garlic sauce and their shrimp dishes are good,too. Delivery is always fast. I would recommend this over any other Chinese food in the neighborhood.

We are currently developing high resolution gamma-ray microcalorimeters (uCal) for improved analysis of nuclear materials. The uCal consist of a bulk superconducting absorber attached to a transition-edge sensor (TES) biased in its resistive transition and operated at temperatures near 0.1 K. Incoming particles and photons are converted to heat in the absorber and the resulting temperature change is measured by the highly sensitive TES thermometer. The unmatched energy resolution of these devices is useful for nuclear safeguards. A specific application is the determination of Pu isotopics in complex mixtures. Although much of our effort is focused on the construction and multiplexed readout of large arrays of detectors for increased collection area, we are also working on optimizing the performance of individual pixels. To this end, we have developed an analytic uCal model that includes the thermal properties of the attached absorber and the large inductance in the TES circuit bias. We show how this model can be used to maximize the number of sensors that can be multiplexed into a single readout channel and to minimize the response time of individual sensors.

Guest Reviews About This Trip
I cannot say enough about the fantastic time my family and I had this past week on our Québec trip. It is almost 1 in the morning and time to hit the hay, but I am still coming off such a wonderful high that I didn't want to go to sleep until I shared my feelings. Sometimes everything just lines up...the weather, the people, the food, the moment in time when all is at peace. When Backroads takes over, you know you don't have to worry. The company stands for quality and you came through again. I am impressed with the talent you hire. I feel it is a one-week show and all the actors know their parts. You have a well-oiled machine and we just have to show up. We are hooked! It is only where and when we will be together again.- Plantation, FL

How is Charles Darwin's theory of evolution the capstone of the "Enlightenment" conception of human beings?
1 Answer | Add Yours
In many ways, Darwin's theory of evolution can be seen as the capstone of the "Enlightenment" conception of human beings. It can serve as the capstone because of the way in which the theory was derived. Darwin's theory was subjected to the strictest of interpretation in accordance to the scientific method. Darwin tested his hypothesis with trips to the Galapagos Islands, analysis of propositions with scientific evidence, as well as reevaluation in accordance to data. These are examples of the scientific method or process that the Enlightenment period praised. Darwin is able to develop his theory of being in accordance to the scientific principles to which the Enlightenment pledged their allegiance. In this, Darwin's theory can be seen as the capstone of the intellectual movement.
Another way in which Darwin's theory can be viewed as the capstone of the Enlightenment period is in the controversy it presented. Darwin's theory sparked a gargantuan amount of debate and discussion out of its scientifically principled approach. It is here in which Darwin's theory can be seen as a capstone of the Enlightenment movement. Science provoked, unsettled, and challenged previously held ideals with Darwin's theory of evolution. For the Enlightenment thinkers, this represented the essence of what science is and what it can do in terms of being able to fundamentally transform what people accept as truth and the discourse that arises as a result. In this, Darwin's theory of evolution can be seen as a capstone of the intellectual movement.

Taino Smokehouse (Middletown, CT): what to my wondering eyes?!
Saw a sign for this in the plaza across from Pameacha Pond on 17 (next to Ace Hardware) last night. It must be in the spot where my much loved D&S used to be. Not sure if they're open yet. I'll breeze by today and report back. What a nice addition to the local food scene this could be. Fingers crossed.
And HA HA HA, they almost spell badada (batata/POTATO) as I do. :)
re: bagelman01
I just laughed out loud so hard you cannot imagine...
re: kattyeyes
You're my kind of people
I had brisket there last night and it was amazing. I am from Texas. I'm a Louis Muller and Goode Co. kind of girl. And this brisket was stellar. The fact that this place is within walking distance of my house is probably not a good thing.
They are in the midst of a soft open and overwhelmed by the response.Every table was full [and there are not many to start with] and the number of take out orders had them backed up. But they were very gracious and indulged my questions about the process for their brisket. So if anyone heads there right now I hope they adjust some of their expectation accordingly - not about the quality of the food, but about the wait and other things that seem like they need shaking out. The kind of things I would expect during a soft open. They don't have a liquor license yet. And apparently they sold out of ribs within twenty minutes of opening.They are only open in the evenings. Those sorts of things.
But the brisket is serious.
re: jse91
Hey neighbor! I walked in and grabbed a menu late last week and witnessed exactly what you described (full house!) and the explanation that it was just a soft opening, not open for lunch yet...I was in there long enough to grab a menu and ask about hours, and left smelling pleasantly smoky after just a few minutes. :)
I'm from CT, so Louis Muller and Goode Co. has no meaning to me, but it may to others who read along. I LOVE good brisket and can't wait to try it. What can you share about their process since you say they were kind enough to indulge your questions? Cats are curious, for sure! :) Do tell.
ETA: And welcome to Chowhound! Our board has been so quiet of late. Please don't be a stranger.
re: kattyeyes
If you are ever in Texas.
re: kattyeyes
I didn't ask a lot of questions, but I've seen some interesting things called BBQ in this part of the world. Mostly I wanted to make sure it was dry - they use just salt and pepper, so that's more than fine. And I wanted to make sure they were serious about how long they smoked it. They are. After repeatedly trying Cookhouse in New Milford, wanting to believe, I'm skeptical up here.
As far as I'm concerned, Louis Muller's sets the standard. If you are ever in Austin, skip the Salt Lick and drive out to Taylor, TX.
In fact, my only quibble with Taino is that that don't sell the meat by weight and in butcher paper. But I can live with that.
re: jse91
HOLY SMOKES! You did NOT oversell that brisket. I had the sandwich tonight with fries. Outstanding. Tender. A generously stuffed sandwich.
Liquor license--you can BYO. Heck, you can just walk to The Bottle Shop if you didn't think to bring adult beverages, it's that close (same plaza as Best Cleaners).
You didn't mention the cornbread. I had been eyeing it throughout dinner. When the waitress brought the check, she brought little mini corn muffins along...buttery, corny, fresh, wow. I have a large one waiting on my counter for breakfast tomorrow.
Welcome to town, Taino Smokehouse! I wish you great success!
re: kattyeyes
I'm so glad you liked it. I was there for takeout early tonight and they told me they will be selling by the pound soon. But they are going to need a bigger place!

This story has been reproduced from today's media. It does not necessarily represent the position of Liverpool Football Club.
MK Dons are bracing themselves for offers from a host of the Premier League's top guns for starlet Dele Alli.
Sky Sports understands the likes of Manchester City, Manchester United, Chelsea, Arsenal and Liverpool are all weighing up moves for the exciting teenager.
Alli is regarded as one of the best prospects to emerge in English football in recent years after bursting onto the scene with MK Dons as a 16-year-old.
Scouts from all the top Premier League clubs cast an eye over Alli last season, with the all-action midfielder making 37 appearances for the Dons in all competitions.
MK Dons boss Karl Robinson regards Alli as one of the best-ever English youngsters and he expects the club to receive offers for the England Under-18 international.
"I've said from the word go, he's as good as it gets and he's the best young player I've ever worked with," said Robinson.
MK Dons are reluctant to lose Alli, but know they would struggle to fend off substantial bids for the player who has been rated in the £5million bracket.

Uneasy lies the head that wears the Secular crown
'tis painted in many an ugly hue
Though it be coloured the colour of rose
'neath it lurks a palette of deceit and scorn;
The wearer bravely wears the crown,
A bejewlled camouflage of depravity
Every night and every morn.
Lately, Zaleel has not been in his element. And we're not talking about his routine problems: every doorframe is too small and it is a routine pain to step into any car without grunting aloud. Zaleel must be cursing the guy who said size matters. Must be a perverse joke by a rabid Hindutva guy who didn't realize that only Zaleel has the right to crack ugly jokes at women who could be spotted from a mile.
Instead we're talking about…errr…weightier issues. Like how the whole script is going so badly wrong. Who would think a lowly railway station tea seller would one day give him sleepless nights both on and off the Internet? Who would think he would actually see a day when he'd be compelled to engage with the Right wing/Hindutva types on Twitter and elsewhere on the social media, the same types he scoffs at and brands as footsoldiers but still goes ahead and engages with?
Zaleel truly has not been in his element. From a piece titled Incredible Impunity, which has a semblance of reasoned discourse–what with quoting numbers etc–all the way down to the latest , it has been quite a swift fall in just a year. His "Saheb" hatred is in naked display in what is termed as a "writer sets his imagination free" except that the byline should've read "a writer lets his spite loose." Neither is it just limited to spite. It now borders on paranoia as this Twitter exchange shows:
Zaleel indeed has not been in his element. Increasingly, his Saheb-hatred seems to have morphed into an obsession, slowly eroding the carefully-imbibed lessons from his mentor in the early days: Shobhaa De, the Botoxed Queen of Sleaze. Her trashy autobiography is an elaborate exercise in self-deception, a third-grade litany of judgments on almost every famous person in the country while she absolves herself of being imperfect. This then is the art that Zaleel has mastered in his own area of specialization. His way is the way of a crafty, sophisticated intellectual bully. His pieces are pronouncements not open to scrutiny much less disagreement. Scrutiny will be ignored. Disagreement will be met with patronizing scorn, condescending humour, and branded as the insane rants of the Hindutva brigade who lack good upbringing and civility. But the mask that conceals hatred can't hold forever: lately, Zaleel has quite frequently been caught violating his own tenets on upbringing and civility. Disdaining Saheb as a tea-seller–exactly in the manner of Ram Guha, the scholarly version of Zaleel–is quite an illustrative instance of this: has Zaleel's own upbringing and civility taught him to disrespect a profession, any honest profession? In fact, the latest produce of Zaleel's unchained imagination consists of numerous instances of said upbringing. Branding a senior journalist who called Zaleel's economic bluff (in two parts of a series that was abandoned at Zaleel's private request) as a speechwriter is another instance of Zaleel's fine upbringing. Oh! and making racist comments about vegetarians and non-vegetarians should equally count as a good instance of decency.
Perhaps Zaleel himself realizes that he's not in his element. Gone are the days when scarpering from history debates was regarded as taking the moral high ground because Zaleel could rely on the Romila Thapar types. Consider what happens nowdays. Consider for example, this Tweet by Zaleel where he casually presents a distorted tidbit of history:
Here is what it begets: a solidly researched piece clinically demolishing Zaleel's education at the Romila Thapar University of Indian History. And when things like this keep occurring more often than not, it is hard to keep that mask intact. And it is a chameleonesque mask–Left when it is fashionable and rewarding to be Left, bleeding-heart Liberal Humanist employee of Amnesty International when that fetches the $$$, and Libertarian when the moolah lies there. Zaleel coming third in the race for the 2011 Basitat Prize is a public testimony of the fact. Pitiably, even that libertarian mask was ripped off, revealing the fact that calling Zaleel a libertarian is akin to claiming that a butcher is fully qualified to perform surgery. One doesn't know the mask Zaleel is currently wearing but whatever be the mask he wears in a given season, it is assured that it is ISI-certified–that is, certified by the Indian Secularist Institute, the selfsame institute that Zaleel's much-reviled Saheb threatens to dismantle.
And so when the going gets tough, Secularist heavyweights hit back all the way to the last mile, masks be damned. Good upbringing and civility are for the good times, when you can escape scrunity by simply stifling the voice of the scrutinizers in the name of these nice qualities. The carefully-concealed Zaleel emerges when these good times are endangered by people who care a whit about your popularity or credentials or social standing and instead, directly examine what you claim and write and do. Here's a very perceptive observation by a commentator on a discussion about Amartya Sen among other things:
1) Every comment need not add "value to a discussion" or be a thesis of some sort – it is perfectly fine to make an observation or an opinion about people, places and things…without [g]oing into a disquisition. In my infrequent interactions with you, I have observed that when people disagree with your worldview you bring up their "tone." This is a form of intolerance in itself which you (and many "progessives") like to wave at others on the slightest pretext. I shall concede that on your blog you have the prerogative to set your standards and boundaries, but please understand that your standard is not the universal touchstone. Since my "bed-wetting" remark has caused you offense, I withdraw it with immediate effect. In lieu of that, I submit that Amartya has gone to bed with Romila, as the actress said to the bishop.
2) In remarking on Amartya's screed, his Nobel Prize (strictly, the Economics Prize is not a Nobel but we'll let that slide) and other qualifications are irrelevant. All that matters is the quality and substance of his argument. This is more so when he steps outside the circle of his area of expertise which is Welfare Economics. People's reputations don't affect me. To paraphrase a well-known Nobel Prize-winning physicist, now deceased, "I look at where he starts and where he ends up."
Indeed, Zaleel lives in truly trying times. His latest adventure with his unleashed imagination is in many ways an admission that he sees the writing on the wall: that the good times symbolized by the Jaipur Fests of Sissies and the Tehelka Sleazefests will shut shop. In the end, it is worth recalling Nietzsche's note that if you gaze into the abyss the abyss gazes into you. And so is it with Zaleel whose Twitter bio reads
Zaleel needs to pay heed and wake up before he actually becomes everything his faux-funny bio says he is. At the moment, I'm still willing to believe that he's just an Indian secularist.

Transformers 2 RevealedFriday, April 3rd, 2009
The full list of Autobots and Decepticons that will be appearing in the Transformers sequel has been revealed.
The Autobots and Decepticons appearing in Transformers: Revenge of the Fallen have finally been officially identified.
Yahoo!

The Decepticons will be made up of Starscream, Scorponok, the Audi R8 Sideways, communications satellite Soundwave, the four-legged Ravage, radio-controlled truck Wheelie, spider-like robot The Doctor, the Constructicon Demolisher, Devastator (the Constructicon composed of Scavenger, Scrapper, Hightower, Longhaul, Rampage, Overload and Mixmaster), as well as The Fallen.

We've already published a couple of articles on how this works. According to Parma Law Director Tim Dobeck, because Germana -- the outgoing council president -- is a Democrat, Parma's Democratic Central Committee will choose Germana's replacement. That is how it's done under Ohio Revised Code.
The committee consists of Democrats representing each of Parma's 60 precincts. I think it's safe to say that it's highly unlikely the committee would choose a Republican to replace Germana.
A complete list of central committee members is available on the committee's Web site.
Thanks for your comment. I would suggest that you give me a call at the number at the bottom of the story.
Thanks. I have made that website correction.

You are correct about the deadline to file for party candidates. It is Feb. 2. I have made that correction in the story. Thanks.

You are correct. We have been meaning to write stories about the census data but I have found the information released by the Census Bureau unclear. Also, a census bureau spokesperson hasn't returned my calls. Meanwhile, other news stories have diverted our attention. Nevertheless, I do intend to do a census story.
Thanks for your comments. You raise some good points. I will keep them in mind when I follow up on this story in the future.
As I recall, I did respond to that comment. The person who commented believed there might be a city code section -- in addition to state code -- that prohibits an elected official from holding a public job.
I thanked that person for his or her comments and questions and said I would keep them in mind when I followed up on the story. I have not followed up on the story yet.
In the story I did write, the county executive's office said it would take months to determine whether the two Parma council members would be able to hold onto their council seats and keep working for the county. We are waiting for his determination. The key, apparently, is whether the two councii members hold civil-service positions with the county. If they do, they would have to make a choice between their jobs and council seats. If they do not, as I understand it, they would be allowed to keep their jobs and remain on coucil.
Thanks for your comment. I will look into this. The information in the article came from the city and its grant agreement with Eaton. It would have helped if the Eaton representative had returned my calls.
Thanks, I have corrected that date.
Thanks. Yes, it was a typo and has been corrected.
If you have information on this, I would suggest that you give me a call at the number listed at the bottom of the story.
I will ask and follow up.
I apologize if the article hurt anyone. Unfortunately, we have to report such accidents, especially if they result in a fatality.
I received my information from the Parma police spokesman; the spokesman for the Parma Fire Department; the Strongsville fire chief; and one of the Strongsville firefighter-paramedics who was on the accident scene.
I will call the hospital and confirm the date on the death certificate and we will correct that date if necessary.
Thank you for your comment and I apologize again if the article hurt Mr. Kittinger's family and friends.
My understanding is that this solar recharging station is a sort of prototype. GM someday would like to see these stations all over the country but it has to start somewhere.
Yes, a representative from the Northeast Ohio Regional Sewer District said the position does accrue time under the Ohio Public Employees Retirement System.
The NEORSD board elects their own officers every year.
The name has been corrected. Thanks.
Parma police initially provided the incorrect name but I did not realize they provided the incorrect age until I saw the East Cleveland police report. At that point I noticed a discrepency between the ages reported by Parma police and East Cleveland police. I called Parma police and they said East Cleveland was correct. I have not had a chance to correct the original story but will do so. Thanks.
