1998 Buick Lesabre. Driver's window was working fine as was Window Lock. All of a sudden, neither works.I will probably try to get to the switches, but at present, I do not know how. Once I am there how do I determine whether the switch is bad or is it the motor? I appreciate any help you can give. Jackson

Acceptance testing a CherryPy application with Robot Framework
I recently received the Python Testing Cookbook authored by Greg L. Turnquist and was happy to read about recipes on acceptance testing using Robot Framework. We've been using this tool at work for a few weeks now with great results. Greg shows how to test a web application using the Selenium Library extension for Robot Framework and I thought it'd be fun to demonstrate how to test a CherryPy application following his recipe. So here we go.
First some requirements:
$ mkvirtualenv --distribute --no-site-packages --unzip-setuptools acceptance (acceptance)$ pip install cherrypy (acceptance)$ pip install robotframework (acceptance)$ pip install robotframework-seleniumlibrary
Let's define a simple CherryPy application, which displays a input text where to type a message. When the submit button is pressed, the message is sent to the server and returned as-is. Well it's an echo message really.
import cherrypy __all__ = ['Echo'] class Echo(object): @cherrypy.expose def index(self): return """<html> <head><title>Robot Framework Test for CherryPy</title></head> <body> <form method="post" action="/echo"> <input type="text" name="message" /> <input type="submit" /> </form> </body> </html>""" @cherrypy.expose def echo(self, message): return message if __name__ == '__main__': cherrypy.quickstart(Echo())
Save the code above in a module named myapp.py
Next, we create an extension to Robot Framework that will manage CherryPy. Save the following in a module CherryPyLib.py. It's important to respect that name since Robot Framework expects the module and its class to match in names.
import imp import os, os.path import cherrypy class CherryPyLib(object): def setup_cherrypy(self, conf_file=None): """ Configures the CherryPy engine and server using the built-in 'embedded' environment mode. If provided, `conf_file` is a path to a CherryPy configuration file used in addition. """ cherrypy.config.update({"environment": "embedded"}) if conf_file: cherrypy.config.update(conf_file) def start_cherrypy(self): """ Starts a CherryPy engine. """ cherrypy.engine.start() def exit_cherrypy(self): """ Terminates a CherryPy engine. """ cherrypy.engine.exit() def mount_application(self, appmod, appcls, directory=None): """ Mounts an application to be tested. `appmod` is the name of a Python module containing `appcls`. The module is looked for in the given directory. If not provided, we use the current one instead. """ directory = directory or os.getcwd() file, filename, description = imp.find_module(appmod, [directory]) mod = imp.load_module(appmod, file, filename, description) if hasattr(mod, appcls): cls = getattr(mod, appcls) app = cls() cherrypy.tree.mount(app) else: raise ImportError, "cannot import name %s from %s" % (appcls, appmod)
Note that we start and stop the CherryPy server during the test itself, meaning you don't need to start it separately. Pure awesomeness.
Finally let's write a straightforward acceptance test to validate the overall workflow of echoing a message using our little application.
***Settings*** Library SeleniumLibrary Library CherryPyLib Suite Setup Start Dependencies Suite Teardown Shutdown Dependencies Test Setup Mount Application myapp Echo ***Variables*** ${MSG} Hello World ${HOST} http://localhost:8080/ ***Test Cases*** Echo ${MSG} Open Browser ${HOST} Input text message ${MSG} Submit form Page Should Contain ${MSG} Close All Browsers ***Keywords*** Start Dependencies Setup Cherrypy Start CherryPy Start Selenium Server Sleep 3s Shutdown Dependencies Stop Selenium Server Exit CherryPy
Save the test above into a file named testmyapp.txt. You can finally run the test as follow:
(acceptance)$ pybot --pythonpath . testmyapp.txt
This will start CherryPy, Selenium's proxy server and Firefox within which the test case will be run. Easy, elegant and powerful.

Hi, when I run the case with pybot the program stays waiting for some input (I think) but I don't know how to do it go further.
Thanks for the tut!

Hey Anler,
It's difficult to tell why it's hanging. You may want to enable the logging through cherrypy.config.update so that it shows you what might be going on in CherryPy. Assuming it's where the problem lies.
Otherwise, could well be a difference in one of your package version (Python, CherryPy, RobotFramework).
September 10, 2011
Great post! I was looking something like this for testing my CherryPy apps.
A hint for those who try the example: it seems Robot Framework is "fickle" (precise is probably a better word) in the spacing the test file ("testmyapp.txt") above. If you have issues, try replacing spaces in the variables with tabs till works.
Greg Turnquist
October 25, 2011
It may be hard to notice, but Robot Framework needs at least two spaces to "see" a break from one cell to the next. Tabs are also viable.
This was a keen issue I had to overcome in typesetting my book, and I tried to include enough extra notes so the reader didn't get lost in that.

618 Tasting Notes
The dry leaf aroma is a lemon icing dream. The brewed leaf aroma is even better! I wouldn't think that'd be possible. The flavor is deliciously lemony but missing that sweetness I get in the aroma. I added a little Truvia and there it is! Now this tastes exactly like iced lemon pound cake! YUM! This tea is perfect! There isn't a single thing about it I don't love.
And now I'm going to cry because the measly 1 oz I have of it is all that's left in this world. Why WHY did Butiki Teas have to close??! Excuse me while I go ball my eyes out. wails and sobs Okay, I'm back.
This tea is so delicious and mouth watering. The flavors are masterfully blended to complement each other and the base perfectly. The white tea is a beautiful, high quality, fuzzy silver needle. It tastes like a ray of sunshine beaming into a lemon orchard frosted with fluffs of sweetness. This is pure ecstasy in your mouth. I will shed quite a few tears when my meager stash of it is depleted. That will be a sad, sad day indeed. But today, today is filled with sunshine!
Flavors: Cake, Flowers, Frosting, Lemon
Frank's black teas are usually best at 2.5 minute infusions. But I think this one could have gone a little longer. It's pretty calm for a chai. Maybe I didn't grab enough spices from the pouch. I added some Truvia and now it's more to my liking. The sweetness brings out a creaminess in the base that is quite yummy. It doesn't seem to need milk at all. It could use a lot more spice though. This is like the calm, meditative, little sister of Chai tea. It's similar but different. Much calmer, quieter, and sweeter (or at least sweeter now that I've added Truvia).
I went back to my tealog and read my review on 52teas' other Pumpkin Chai. I seemed to enjoy that one better with a longer infusion, so I'll definitely try that with this one too. I didn't find that chai very spicy either and it did have a nice creaminess. I guess this one is pretty similar. In fact, the only difference might be the base. This is made with Pettaiagala Extra Long Leaf OP. The older chai was made with Premium Assam.
Anyway, I do like it; it's just not what I expected. If I think of this as a creamy, slightly spiced tea, then I really like it a lot. Second infusion for 6 minutes was just as delicious. A yummy treat! I will enjoy my two pouches of this. Although I have to say that 0.5 oz of this one doesn't go far!
Flavors: Creamy, Spices
This is a lightly flavored tea. I'm getting a nice orange and ginger flavor with almond lingering in the background of the sip. It didn't strike me as sugary sweet like cookies, so I added some Truvia. Now it's more like a Christmas cookie! I think imagination here is key. I am getting some buttery cookie aspects along with the warmth and spice that reminds me of Christmastime. The white base is muted here, allowing the flavorings to shine through and take the spotlight.
Mmm, I'm very glad that I bought two packages of this one. I'm really enjoying it a lot! There's something special about Frank's white tea blends. They're always my favorites. I drank this one pretty quick. Time for a resteep! I infused the leaves for about 5 minutes the second go-around. And it's just as tasty as the first cup! That's rare for 52teas blends. I think I may grab a few more pouches of this before it's too late…
Flavors: Almond, Cookie, Ginger, Orange Zest
I made this cup and then didn't get to drink it because the baby had a meltdown. Now that she's in bed for the night, I can reheat it and enjoy it. The dry leaf aroma is roses. The brewed tea aroma is the familiar chocolate malt of Chinese black teas. The taste? A perfect combination of the two aromas: roses and chocolate malt. Yum! Now this is my kind of Chinese black tea!
I really like the rose flavoring here. It's mostly in the front of the aftertaste, which transforms and leaves a lingering cocoa taste. The rose is also very natural and not too potent. Mmm, I really like this tea. As it cools, it gets a little bitter. I definitely should have done a shorter steep. It reheats well though. I think I microwaved this cup two or three times because I kept getting distracted with things and couldn't finish it all in one sitting. Thanks to Teavivre for the free sample! I will definitely enjoy the rest of this.
Flavors: Chocolate, Cocoa, Malt, Rose
I grabbed this one cause I felt like a Chinese black tea. However, this was not the kind of Chinese black that I like. It tasted like smoke and tobacco. Yuck. Not my cup of tea. Sadly, I poured the cup down the drain. It was way too strong and just not to my liking at all. I'm sure it's perfectly enjoyable to other palates. Maybe I shouldn't have started with such a long infusion. One or two minutes would have been plenty. Thanks to Teavivre for providing this free sample. I'll re-home the rest of it to someone who will enjoy it.
Flavors: Smoke, Tobacco
I've been meaning to try this tea for a long time. Today is the day! The brewed tea aroma is herbal. I can definitely smell the marshmallow root, which I believe is the base for this tea. First sip is a little lackluster. It just tastes like sweet marshmallow root. I'm going to add a bit of Truvia to see if I can coax out more cake flavor, although I suppose that risks making it too sweet.
It is very sweet now. I can imagine this tastes like white cake, but let's be honest. I don't think tea can taste like cake. A lot of what makes cake, well, cake is the airy fluffy buttery texture. Tea simply can't replicate that. This is probably as close as it gets. The more I sip it, the more I notice resemblances to cake. This is good but not remarkably good. I have to say after all the rave reviews, I'm a little underwhelmed. I think my expectations were too high.
If I moderate my expectations, this is an enjoyable tea. I love that it's caffeine free. It will satisfy my sweet tooth cravings on those days when all I want to do is stuff my face with cake. In that respect, this is a great alternative to the real deal. Now I'm off to celebrate because today is a big day! It's my baby's 4 month birthday!
The dry leaf aroma is strongly raspberries. The brewed tea aroma is the same and the taste is fairly one dimensional. I added a bit of Truvia and now it's sweeter like cake. Mostly though, this one is a lightly flavored raspberry tea. The base here is nice and complementary. It lends a certain cake-y-ness to the flavor. I can imagine I'm drinking a white cake with raspberry icing. It's not an in-your-face cake taste. It's more of a pensive allusion to cake instead. I like that I can enjoy this tea without milk, but it definitely needs the sweetener. Overall, a pretty good tea.
Flavors: Cake, Raspberry
52teas 12 Days of Christmas Sampler 2013 – Day 12
Yes, it is 2015. Yes, I have waited to try this sampler for a year and a half. I bought it before I was even pregnant and now I have a 4-month-old daughter. That should tell you how old this is.
Why didn't I drink it earlier you ask? I don't know. I think it got lost in my cupboard and I've only just now found it. Of course, with a new baby, I hardly have time to make a cup of tea, let alone drink it, LET ALONE blog about it! In fact, I've had to start and stop this note multiple times so I could take care of her. I love her more than anything in this world but man, she is a needy baby!
I'm also sick right now. I have an ear infection and it's caused my nose to run like mad crazy. I'm super congested, so probably not the best time to start drinking a new tea. I thought the dry leaf aroma was still pretty potent though. I think I'll work my way through this sampler backwards. I'm starting with #12! I have another minute or two before her fussing becomes crying so I'm going to make the most of it! Ooh, hubby just agreed to give her a bottle for me. :D Now I have at least 5-10 minutes. :)
This tea has held up pretty well given its age. I probably should have steeped it longer. It has a white tea taste with a slight sugary sweetness. I added a little Truvia and now it has an even sweeter flavor. I have no idea what a sugar plum is supposed to taste like (or if it even exists) so I can't say for sure if this tastes like sugar plum or not. It does taste good! Kind of like grape but different. Not so grapey. LOL! Can you tell it's been a while since I blogged about tea? I think my writing skills have run off with my slim physique.
Anyway, this is a good tea. I have always loved white teas, especially Frank's blends. I'm sad that he's closing shop but interested to see what LiberTEAS does with the company. I tell you, I leave the tea community to start a family and all my favorite tea vendors close! If I had a more inflated ego, I'd think it was because I stopped buying their tea and it's my fault they're going out of business. But of course, that's ridiculous…right? :P I jest. But in all seriousness, I am sad about 52teas and Butiki Teas closing. At least with 52teas it will live on in some form or another. I was able to make a large purchase of Butiki Teas before they closed and I did the same with 52teas. I got a much better deal with 52teas though because of the 50% off sale AND I had a couple hundred rewards points. So I got about $44 worth of tea for $14! :D
But I digress. Again.
This tea is yummy. I'm enjoying the cup. Sadly, subsequent infusions will have to wait because my time is up! Back to mommy duty!
I'm working from home today, the baby's at daycare, and I finally have a moment to myself to brew a cup of tea. I swore to myself I wasn't going to order a bunch of Butiki teas and then let them sit around for months untried. But then I had a baby and all Hell broke loose! The only tea I've had in the past 3+ months is Mother's Milk teabags. I hardly remember what it's like to have time to enjoy my old ritual of brewing tea: heating water on the stove in my kettle, using a thermometer to get just the right temperature before adding the leaves, waiting for it to steep and then enjoying multiple infusions while musing about what to write in a tea note. Those days of abundant time are gone! I'm lucky if I find time to shower once every couple days. Don't get me wrong; being a mother is the most rewarding thing I've done with my life to date. But I do miss some aspects of life before motherhood, and brewing tea is definitely one of them.
So today I am making some tea and taking the time to enjoy it! I'm so sad Butiki Teas has closed. I managed to place a large order of my favorites (sans Almond Indulgence because it was already sold out) as well as some new-to-me ones before Stacy closed for good. The brewed tea aroma of this one smells amazing! I'm definitely getting cinnamon and a hint of vanilla. The flavor is WOW! So nuanced and delicious. The flavor seems to evolve throughout the sip, first being cinnamon and vanilla and ending in a lovely, hay-like Bai Mu Dan. Yum! White tea is the perfect base for these flavors. This is good!
I added a tiny bit of Truvia to see how sweetener affects the flavors. Hmm, it really seems to have brought the squash to the forefront. I was missing that before. I'd say the most downplayed element in this tea is the cinnamon. It's there, but only a quiet whisper complementing the other flavors. This is a really lovely tea. I'd say that I recommend it, but sadly you can no longer buy it. :( But if you've been hoarding it like me and have yet to try it, you definitely should!
For those of you who are interested, I'll write more about the birth of my daughter in another note. For now, here's some pictures of my Olivia. :)
Sipdown #13
I'm 40 weeks pregnant today! Come on, baby! Mama wants to meet you!
I woke up to weird pelvic pain at 6:29am. Contractions feel like waves, right? This was not wavelike…luckily it went away once I got up and walked around. You usually only have a 3-4% chance of delivering on your actual due date, but since I haven't had the baby yet…my chances of delivering today are around 15%. Still not great. :/ But I have a 61% chance that the baby will come within a week! :)
I polished this tea off last night during a game of Go with my 4 kyu husband. The score was 104.5 to 72…I got massacred. LOL! But it was a lot of fun since it was a teaching game. I'm really going to miss this tea (and Butiki Teas in general). Although I did notice that apparently Red Leaf Tea sells something called Golden Dragon Feelers that looks exactly like this. I'll have to try that one out sometime.
Well, now that the pain has subsided, I think I'll try and go back to sleep. I'm gonna' need energy if I do go into labor today. Wish me luck, everyone! I'm hoping to have a medication/intervention free birth, which also means the baby needs to decide to come on his/her own so I don't have to face an induction. An induction can start a cascade of unnecessary interventions. Since I'm GBS negative, I don't even want an IV. Inductions mean pitocin, which means an IV. :/ But I still have 2 weeks before they'll start talking induction. OMG, I pray I don't have 2 more weeks of being pregnant! I don't know if my body (or mind) can take it!
I was induced for both my boys as they were both late and on the large side. Congratulations on making it this far, and I hope your delivery comes swiftly and without complicaations!

Early history[edit]
The town was first mentioned in writing in 1362. Prince Algirdas gathered a large army for the Battle of Blue Waters, in which he defeated Kotlubug, Kachubej, and Dmytro, who owned Podillia. The town includes an island which served as a hiding place for raiders during the Tatar invasions. This island was called Khmilnyk for the hop plants which grew there in abundance; in Ukrainian, "khmilnyk" means hop garden). Khmilnyk is situated not far from "Black Way", the road often used by Tatar armies.
Polish-Lithuanian Commonwealth[edit]
In 1434, Khmilnyk became part of Poland's Khmilnyk district of Podillia province. After the town obtained Magdeburg rights in 1448, different crafts and trade grew. Poland considered Khmilnyk to be an advance post of its possessions, so the town was strengthened. In 1534, the Polish king fortified the town with a stone wall with towers and a castle.
After the Brest union in 1596, oppression of the local inhabitants grew, which caused rebellions against the gentry. In 1594, Khmilnyk was captured by Cossack detachments of Severyn Nalyvajko. In 1637, the Cossacks returned with Pavlyuk as their leader. In the period of the Khmelnytsky Uprising (1648–1654), rebellious detachments of Khmilnyk people joined the army of Bohdan Khmelnytsky. Maksym Kryvonis captured the castle. More than once, the town was the site of battles between Cossacks and gentry armies. As a result, the town was devastated.
In 1672–1699, Khmilnyk was held by the Turks. They fortified the castle, built a mosque, and made secret passages. Endless battles between Turks and Poles resulted in the decay of commerce, and the town's population shrank. In 1699, Khmilnyk was recaptured by Poland.
Russian Empire period[edit]
In 1793, Khmilnyk and Podillya towns were captured by the Russian Empire. After the formation of Bratslav province on May 22, 1795, Khmilnyk became one of its district towns, and the coat of arms was consolidated into it on January 22, 1796. In 1797 Catherine II presented Khmilnyk and its districts, with a population of 6,070 people, to Count Bezborodko.
On June 9, 1804, Khmilnyk became part of the Lityn district of Podolia Governorate and remained in this position until the October Revolution (1917). There were four Orthodox churches there until 1910. With industrial development, the town population grew, and in 1915 Khmilnyk had 18,300 people.
In 1878, a weaving mill was founded, and in 1905, a brewery, sawmill and iron foundry began operations. There were 1616 craftsmen, which included 470 seamstresses, 250 tailors and 230 furriers. At the beginning of the twentieth century Khmilnyk had undergone social changes. The economic decay of 1907-1910 was interspersed some economic revivals.
In 1911, there were 22 enterprises and 67 different workshops dealing with processing the products of cattle-breeding, woodwork, and metal, and many independent craftsmen.
In the 1920s, Soviet authorities settled in Khmilnyk to control the population and discourage intellectuals. Churches were closed down. In the 1930s, Khmilnyk became a resort.
World War II[edit]
Khmilnyk was devastated in World War II. In June 1941 the front came close to Khmilnyk, and on July 16, the German army captured the town.
The Jewish population of the occupied town was decimated in a violent genocide. On two bloody Fridays (January 9 and 16, 1942), German divisions slaughtered more than 8,000 of the town's inhabitants. In Khmilnyk a total of 11,760 innocent victims were shot to death. To commemorate this, a monument was erected and a service held on August 19, 1988, at the massacre site.[2][3] On July 18, 2002, the Sorrow Memorial was opened in Khmilnyk.
On February 18, 1944, after the battle near Korsun-Shevchenkivskyi, the 1st Ukrainian Front was assigned the Proskuriv-Chernivtsi operation, which was decisive for the liberation of the town and whole district. On the morning of March 10, soldiers of 71st and 276th divisions captured the left part of Khmilnyk and the Mazurivka and Sydoryha settlements. After violent fights on March 18, 1944 the town and district were liberated from German invaders.
Current regional languages[edit]
Ukrainian and Russian languages are spoken throughout Ukraine. However, Ukrainian language is spoken in Khmilnyk region and westward. The Dnieper river divides the east from the west. On the western side of the Dnieper river you will find that people speak Ukrainian and Russian within context and the further west you go the stronger Ukrainian language is spoken. Ukrainian language differs from the Russian language in many aspects. They pronounce words much different and the alphabet of the Ukrainian language has different alpha symbols than the Russian. In Khmilnyk, Ukrainian is generally spoken and many people there prefer to speak Ukrainian.
Famous resort town[edit]
In 1934, scientists found radon water while searching for drinking water in Khmilnyk. Since 1970, Khmilnyk has been a spa resort town of some importance.
Khmilnyk is a modern balneological resort with seven health centres. It has the capacity to treat 50,000 from Ukraine and other countries every year. The main medicinal factor at the resort is radon water. The radon water is formed during circulation of water through granites of the Ukrainian crystal shield.
Culture and architecture[edit]
Khmilnyk has several architectural and historical monuments. Saint Trinity Church was built in 1603 and restored in 1729. Four Orthodox churches were built between 1801 and 1910. The city has a Turkish mosque and the palace of K.I. Ksido. Monuments to Bogdan Khmelnitsky were built to commemorate his leadership in the liberation war of the Ukrainian people against Polish social and religious oppression (1648–1654). There is a red granite statue of Lenin, seated; the statue sits on the top of a hill overlooking the town centre. There is a monument to soldiers who died during the Great Patriotic War, the Glory Monument to War Heroes, and an obelisk to soldiers of 18th Army, 71st and 276th divisions that liberated Khmilnyk in March 1944. In 1991 a monument to Taras Shevchenko was built.
Holy Trinity Church[edit]
Holy Trinity Church was built in 1603. During the time of the Tatars occupation (1672–1699) it was ruined. At the beginning of the eighteenth century, the church was repaired, and in 1728 it was sanctified a second time.
The church is a four-pillar basilica in the Toscana baroque style. Side niches are joined by cross-like cranes and the central niche has a semicircle crane. During the 1930s and 1940s, the church was twice closed by communists. A blacksmith's shop was opened at the altar and prisoners worked there.
In the 1970s, the central entrance to the church yard was closed due to widening of the road. Now the central gates are situated on the other side. When the weather is fine, everybody in Khmilnyk can hear the ringing of the bells, recently donated to the church by the Polish government.
Castle tower and secret passages[edit]
In the center of Khmilnyk, above the river, an eight sided building with loopholes and counterforts can be seen. This is the only preserved castle tower out of the six that were built. In 1534, the king fortified the castle against numerous attacks from the Turks and the Tatars. The castle was built on a man-made hill and town was surrounded with stone walls. A channel dug between the South Bug and Tasthusha rivers turned the town and fort into an island.
During the National Liberation War (1648–1654), the castle was devastated by Cossacks. From 1672 to 1699, the castle was owned by Turks. They strengthened the defensive buildings, built a mosque and secret passages passing under the river and leading to the outskirts of the city. Some of the passages were later abandoned, used as storehouses, and part was made into a nightclub. The section that passed under the river has since collapsed, and flooded. Only a small part is now accessible from the Стара Фортреця (Stara Fortretsia - "old fortress") Restaurant located directly under the castle. In the eighteenth century, the castle lost its defensive function and was gradually ruined. The preserved mosque tower was restored many times, and between 1804-1917 it was turned into an Orthodox Church.
Palace of K. I. Ksido[edit]
Near the castle tower is a building that at first sight seems to be old. This is the palace of the local landlord K. I. Ksido. At the beginning of the twentieth century, he initiated a project to construct a large palace and park complex according to a design by the Russian architect Ivan Fomin, but it was not finished. The complex consists of the palace and an arc-like Venice bridge over the river.
The palace is an example of neoclassical architecture uniting the forms of Renaissance and Classicism. The building has two floors, and is quadratic, with towers on the main façade and corners. There was a dome rotunda on the roof but it was knocked off by a Soviet air attack during World War II.
From 1920 to 1964, the building was used for agronomic and electronic schools, storehouses, a mill, and several different establishments. Since 1964 it has been used as a hotel. Now, the building is in very poor condition, and needs major repairs.

Reader James wanted to incorporate two great forms of recreation into one hack and submitted this awesome post.
* * * * * * * * * * *
I repurposed a Kiddy Karrier to take the weight of the watercraft. I just folded the canopy down and strapped it on with Home Depot ratchet straps. I did not want to disassemble the kid carrier because there are still occasions that we need to carry kids (or pizza and adult beverages!)
I will eventually disassemble and re-design a purpose-built dolly from the carrier that would be easier to remove and replace at the beach.
Saddles can suffer a lot of abuse and covers are a great way to extend the life of a saddle. Reader Tsai-Ching sent along this saddle cover hack.
* * * * * * * * * *
I had my bike for 7 years and the saddle has never changed. I used it for years but it was worn by the weather and aging of the material, so I replaced it with a cover made from my old backpack. I just cut the required area from the backpack, did some sewing, and then tied it to the seat post with a line.
Sometimes your cockpit is like the Blue Oyster Cult Song, "(Don't Fear) The Reaper." The song needed more cowbell . . .
need more cowbell from nicemusicltd on Vimeo.
. . . and sometimes your cockpit just needs more space for your wonderful gadgets and lights. Reader Mike sent along this cool hack for expanding your possibilities.
Cut the down tube off of the stem and cut the ends off of a straight handle bar. Replace the original head set bolt with a longer one and attach it using the star nut in the steering tube.
The Charles River was frozen for several months, but the mercury has cracked freezing for a few days now and the river is cracking as well. Good news for fishermen, although I am not so sure I would be comfortable eating anything that was fished out of the Charles. This is not a beautiful hack that might match the prose of Earnest Hemingway, but as readers know, this site is about practicality and not beauty. In the theme of bike hacks . . .
"He no longer dreamed of storms, nor of women, nor of great occurrences, nor of great fish, nor fights, nor contests of strength, nor of his wife. He only dreamed of places now and the lions on the beach bike hacks. They played like young cats in the dusk and he loved them as he loved the boy. He never dreamed about the boy. He simply woke, looked out the open door at the moon and unrolled his trousers and put them on conjured up bike hacks.
― Ernest Hemingway, The Old Man and the Sea
I first heard or saw the term "unboring" in an IKEA ad. I do not know if the ad firm they hired "invented" the word or not, but in my opinion is applies beautifully to various containers being repurposed into bike fenders. I have used several variations of my own over the years, and every so often a reader sends along his/her own take on this common bike hack. We have featured . . .
This version comes from reader "Formil XXL" in Slovakia, Europe.
Bottle up!
* * * * * * * * * * * *
Yet another detergent container fender. I cut the container into 2 exact halves. The front piece is just duct-taped around the frame. The back piece is mounted on a pace of L-shaped metal attached to seat tube.
Greasy hands are no fun and as documented in previous posts, I tie an old sock to my frame or rack in case I have on road repairs. I just put the sock over my hand and do what I need to do, and then toss the sock and replace it with another.
Reader Spannerrash was having problems with chain slips and came up with a hack to keep his hands from getting greasy. The solution is effective, but those with chain slip issues might also benefit from visits to two great web sites that address this issue, as well as just about any bike related repair issue you can think of: Sheldon Brown and The Bicycle Tutor.
* * * * * * * * * * * * * * *
I had a series of chain slips that jammed the chain in the rear forks.
I became fed up with greasy hands (that I couldn't clean on the side of the road) so I made a small hook to grab the chain and allows me to put the the chain back in place grease free. Purists will scream and groan that I allowed this to happen but, hey, that's life. The hook out of a piece of 3mm - 1/8th approx wire I found (I think its brass).
The hook now sits in my tool pod under the saddle. A manufacturer may pick up on this and produce an all singing and dancing model but this cost nothing and has served its purpose.
I will admit I am a total pack rat when it comes to keeping items destined for the trash bin that I believe can be used for cleaning products. Rarely if ever will I throw away a textile after it is no longer wanted for its intended purpose.
An old bed sheet? That could be used as a drop cloth for bike maintenance or painting. Old t-shirts? Great rags for cleaning your bike or other nasty spills around the house. An old sock? At all times my bikes have at least one sock tied somewhere for use as a "glove" for on road maintenance so I do not get my hands dirty.
* * * * * * * * * * * *
I can state for a fact that never in my life have I thrown away a toothbrush after it has served its intended purpose. Right now I could go to the storage area under my kitchen sink and there will be at least 10 old toothbrushes in an old plastic Q-Tip box.
The electric toothbrush revolution did not stop me either. I have used my old Oral-B brushes, attached to the unit, to clean the grout on tiles floors or in my shower for example. I have used regular toothbrushes for bike cleaning before, but I had not seen this slick hack, posted over on the Italian redbull.com site before. They linked to bikehacks.com, so I am returning the favor. Molto Bravo!

If you have cleaning hacks you are proud of, please feel free to send them along for possible posting for the benefit of all. And if you want some great advice along with a good laugh, view one of our most popular posts of all time, 13 Ways to Get Bike Grease Out of Clothes.
Okay, to start of with, one of the greatest post titles ever on Bike Hacks =)
Reader Hunter wanted to extend the life of some winter booties and sent along the following text and picture. Bootie-licious hack for sure.
Along similar lines of using tires and tubes for shoe hacks, we have also featured a bike tire patch shoe hack, an inner tube repurposed into toe covers, an entire shoe cover made from inner tubes, and inner tube shoe laces.
* * * * * * * * * * * * * * *
The idea is to extend the life of bike shoe covers. I don't know about anyone else, but my experience is that they start disintegrating at the toe as soon as you touch down anywhere. Fine if you have a sponsor, not so great if you're just a guy going to work. Then I had this idea. Cut up an old 23c slick, flatten and clamp it on the sole with some shoe adhesive. This is my friend's pair cause she did a nicer job on it. So far I've been riding mine for about a month and a half in pretty bad weather....no signs of wear. None. The rest of the bootie is falling apart too, but that's why duct tape was invented, right?
Brothers Aaron and John from Sacramento, CA went for a ride but had some problems with a flat tire. The solution came in the form of garbage. We featured another solution to the same problem that did not involve garbage, but rather a U.S. President. Also, it's always good when a ride ends with Tacos.
* * * * * * * * * * * * *
My brother and I started out on a casual ride to explore the urban jungle of our old childhood stomping grounds. Fate as it would seem, tried to sway us from pursuing our day of adventure in the form of two flat tires within less than a mile from each other. My brother being the unlucky one.
The first was a simple skab fix, but the second was quite the doozy. Running over something and creating a small hole, a hole large enough for the tube to "birth out" if the appropriate amount of psi was to be used.
So thinking what we could do.....ALAS! A "patch" to go in between the tube and tire to prevent the tube from entering the outside world. But where would we find such an item? With no wizards or genies in sight, we put our minds together and realized our jersey pockets were full of them! Wrappers from our bars were exactly what we needed. With a few trims here and there, we were back on the road in no time.
The wrapper of choice was Nature Valley's Honey Breakfast Biscuits, quite tasty by the way. Paired up with a nice tea and you'd be set. Not sure how long our hack would've lasted, but it got us to closest Performance Bike where we got properly fixed up.
Tacos, courtesy of Chandos Taco, were a post ride treat.
In a previous post we covered 21 creative ways to mount a camera on your bike, but reader Stickman sent along a variation not on a our list. He wanted to use an old phone he had on hand and over on his blog he writes:
I decided to make my own out of some easy to find materials. I used a section of PVC pipe, two carriage bolts, and 2 pipe hangers to make a camera mount. I dressed it up with a bit of PlastiDip. It's a hack, but I'm pretty happy with the end result. The camera faces forward, and I can still get to the screen. I record in 720p, and use My Tracks to record my route for basic stats. I also recycled an old camera bag into a stem bag.

Publisher's Description
The kids at school call Billy "Dragon Breath" for good reason. His breath is bad! It isnt the normal, morning-mouth bad; its the hot-as-fire, "dont-you-dare-get-near-me" bad. Trouble erupts when his hot breath sets off the fire sprinklers in the boys restroom at school, and his parents learn that theyve kept their secret for too long.
Billy finally discovers the secret. His father was once a dragon! Now thats a piece of news a guy doesnt deal with every day! Billy feels betrayed, alien, lost. When the dragon slayer traps him on a cold mountaintop in West Virginia, Billy learns to battle with weapons of steel and spirit while relying on a power he doesnt understand, a power that helps him learn to trust again.
Bonnie, an orphan, tries to find a home, someone to love her, even though she feels like a freak because of a body feature that she calls a deformity. But this unusual feature becomes a life-saving attribute as she discovers that her love for others and her faith in a creator hold the answers shes looking for.
Author Bio
In this young adult contemporary fantasy novel, author Bryan Davis took historical events surrounding the legend of King Arthur and Merlin the Magician and turned them upside down, backwards, and inside out. Fully human and fully dragon, heroes Billy and Bonnie are being hunted by an evil and determined dragon slayer.
As a 12-year-old, I really liked this book and recommend it as a fun and exciting book for ages ten and up. I was so engrossed in the book, that my mama decided she didn't want to miss out on the fun so she is reading it aloud to our family.
In addition to being a page-turning read, Raising Dragons teaches the principles of faith, love, and courage. It showed me how God can interact in our lives even in the most difficult situations that Satan can ever bring on. God is always there for us.
I've had the pleasure of meeting the author, Bryan Davis and one of his seven children. As a father, Davis obviously writes the quality of book he'd like his family to enjoy. Raising Dragons is published under AMG Publishers' imprint called Living Ink Books. This new line features "writing worth reading."
If you look for me now, you 'll find me eyebrow-deep into the pages of the sequel to Raising Dragons, titled The Candlestone. -- Estee Wells, Christian Book Previews.com

Raising Dragons captivates its reader in a way you wouldn't expect. You feel as they feel, you cry when they cry, and you laugh when they laugh, and there is always a character whom you can relate to. All in all I would recommend Raising Dragons to anyone looking for an adventure.

What with Billy finding out about his father's past, and Bonnie struggling with loneliness, I had to know what would happen next and, most importantly, how it all ended. Thankfully, this was only the first in a series that has many surprises I never could have anticipated. I think you'll love reading it and the rest of Billy and Bonnie's story just as much as I did!

class="gkFeaturedItemTitle" Tournament and cash games
Back in the day, poker was played in shady locations as it was illegal and players took bigger chances than losing the hands. Nowadays, when online gambling is widespread, poker has also made the transition to this environment and many of the newcomers choose it over its live counterpart.
The advantages of online casino are multiple and they clearly outweigh the disadvantages, which explains why its popularity is still rising after more than a decade.Lire la suite : Tournament and cash games

The LINCS program is implemented in two parts: pilot phase 1 (FY 2010) and the continuation of the program in production phase 2. This part of the program consists primarily of LINCS Data and Signature Generation Centers. Phase 2 will also synergize with the efforts of the NIH Big Data to Knowledge (BD2K) program.
LINCS Production Phase 2
LINCS Data and Signature Generation Centers
The LINCS Data and Signature Generation Centers are six research centers focused on high-throughput experiments that examine the changes that occur when a variety of different cell lines are exposed to perturbations.
BD2K-LINCS Data Coordination and Integration Center
The BD2K-LINCS Data Coordination and Integration Center (DCIC) is the data coordination center for the NIH Common Fund's Library of Integrated Network-based Cellular Signatures (LINCS) program, which aims to characterize how a variety of types of cells, tissues and networks respond to disruption by drugs and other factors. The center supports data science research focusing on interpreting and integrating LINCS-generated data from different data types and databases in the LINCS-funded projects. This center is co-funded by BD2K and the NIH Common Fund.
The organizational structure of the Center includes a strong Consortium Coordination and Administration (CCA) that supports and manages the Center's goals and deliverables, and coordinates activities across the LINCS and BD2K programs.
LINCS Pilot Phase 1 (fiscal year completion 2013)
The LINCS Pilot Phase 1 was composed of 10 centers: two data production/analysis centers, that generated data for the LINCS matrix, four centers dedicated to developing technology to complement and facilitate the collection of cellular signatures, and four centers that developed computational tools for analyzing the data produced by the data production centers. In addition, two external supplements, as well as a number of internal collaborations, supported and augmented the work done by the LINCS centers.

I posted my comments in the Standard Gallery with the Auditorium image.
Hey all - Tested my 8x10 studio camera and the lens that some of you saw. You can't tell much by the photo, but it is sharp and has great tonal range. Film is Tri-x. I will be playing with J&C 400 in the near future and also experimenting with Platinum and Azo.
Is that the Imagon? It's supposed to be a soft lens wide open or with the perforated disks if you have them. Did you stop it down with the regular iris?
David- That is the Imagon. It was stopped down all the way. Exposure was 1 or 2 seconds. I had 4 sheets and bracketed. I do have one disk which I will play with as time permits. I'm working on getting the field camera together so I can take the lens in the field and hopefully on the next APUG shoot. - Jim
Interesting. Past f:8 or so, most soft lenses lose the spherical aberration that is largely responsible for the soft effect, and by f:22 or so diffraction becomes enough of a limitation that there isn't too much difference between lenses in general, though there are some things that can't be improved by stopping down. The disks make it possible to reduce the amount of light entering the lens without losing the spherical aberration that causes the soft effect.

Before there was Ben Affleck and Jennifer Garner, there was another Bennifer: Ben Affleck and Jennifer Lopez. In what could be called the "breakup heard round the world," the engaged couple called it quits in January 2004, just days before they were to be married. Eight years later, the "Argo" star tells The Hollywood Reporter that he's still in touch with Lopez.
"We don't have the kind of relationship where she relies on me for advice, but we do have the kind of relationship where there'll be an e-mail saying, 'Oh, your movie looks great,'" Affleck, 40, admits.
RELATED: Affleck Sideswipes Car, Leaves Note
"I remember when she got 'American Idol.' I said, 'This was really smart. Good luck.' I touch base. I respect her. I like her. She's put up with some stuff that was unfair in her life, and I'm really pleased to see her successful."
A lot has happened since Affleck and J.Lo were an item. Lopez, 43, has twins with her ex-husband, Marc Anthony, and is currently dating 25-year-old backup dancer Casper Smart, while Affleck has since married Garner, 40, who is the mother of his three children.
RELATED: Courtney: I Have 'No Regrets' With 'Bachelor' Ben
"She truly is kind. She means no one any harm," the actor says of his wife. "She doesn't have ill will for any person. She's not competitive with other people. She's not spiteful. It's one of those things where it becomes almost aggravating at times. Every time I go, f--- him!' I see in her face that she just thinks that's petty and small."

Live Prices Not Available
$25.00 MSRP (actual price may vary)

Let us know if you think we should continue to search for the best prices for this product.
3 AA batteries requiredTTPM Is Always On With
What It Is
The Smart Tablet is designed to introduce preschoolers to letters, phonics, numbers, first words, and typing through a variety of games and activities. There are six modes of play. In Letters mode, use the keyboard to press letters and make up words, then play and listen for phonics sounds in Phonics mode. The bilingual Numbers mode features counting activities (1–10) in both English and Spanish. In Music mode, touch number or letter keys to hear notes and songs. Game mode provides 20 mazes and nine levels of game play. Typing mode gives children a free-play experience to type their own messages using the Qwerty keyboard, which shows upper and lowercase letters.
The tablet's LCD screen changes between a green, red, and blue backlight. The screen color changes automatically during play, and the child can also change to his favorite color at any time. The kick-stand on the back of the tablet makes it easy for kids to use the tablet on a table or their lap.
Is It Fun?
Today's kids are really into technology, and they want to have the same gadgets as mom and dad and other grown-ups do. With the Smart Tablet, preschoolers can feel grown-up with a tablet device designed just for them. The Smart Tablet is easy to use, and kids will like all the different activities and games. Parents will like that the content is educational but presented to kids in a fun way.
Who It's For
The Smart Tablet is for ages 3–6.
This is going to be most appealing to kids who haven't played with or have access to adult tablets.
What To Be Aware Of
Kids who have already been playing with so-called adult tablets and kid software may find this a little bit rudimentary. Kids at the younger end of the recommended age spectrum, though, will like the different activities that are cognitively appropriate for them.
Three AA batteries are included. These are for try-me purposes, and Fisher-Price recommends replacing them before you play for best results. You will need a Phillips screwdriver to replace the batteries.
There are two volume settings: low and high.

Kylee Petrik couldn't put a finger on how her shot found the back of the net early in Evergreen's 3-0 win over Pueblo Centennial on May 9, but all she knows is that it did. That's all that mattered.
It was the first of three goals for the top-seeded Lady Cougars, who got second-half tallies from Sophia Weiner and Brianna Curtis, as Evergreen looked the part of the team to beat in the second round of the 4A state girls soccer tournament.
Boating season at Evergreen Lake has opened with limited hours of operation on weekends until Memorial Day weekend, when the summer schedule begins.
Paddle boats, kayaks, fishing boats and sailboats are available for renting at hourly rates.
Stand-up paddle boarding also will be offered to visitors again this season. Evergreen Park and Recreation District staff are overseeing this popular activity this year, rather than using the services of a vendor as in previous years, said Ellen O'Connor, EPRD executive director.
Almost everyone who has a bird feeder in a wooded area has a pair or two of white-breasted nuthatches coming to it. Although some books refer to them as being entirely insectivorous, I have watched them eat sunflower seeds at my feeders.
Evergreen preps for the playoffs with a shutout of Battle Mtn.
EDWARDS — Freshman Cassidy Formanek scored her third goal of the season and Sophia Weiner assisted on the score as Evergreen toppled host Battle Mountain 1-0 on May 2.
The Lady Cougars were coming off back-to-back wins over D'Evelyn (4-1) and Standley Lake (1-0) to lock up the 4A Jeffco League championship.
Natalie Ulfig and Allie Seracuse combined to make five saves in net for EHS.
By Craig Harper
For the Courier
LAKEWOOD — As gauntlets go, Evergreen's run through the upper echelon of the state's best 4A baseball teams didn't quite rival in peril the one Clint Eastwood and Sondra Locke endured in the 1977 same-named flick.
LITTLETON — Natalie Holley can pinpoint her success on the golf course to two factors: continuous practice and her coaches, particularly Hiwan Golf Club's Kevin Hanley.
It is those reasons why the Evergreen sophomore will be making a second straight trip to the 4A state tournament after carding a 9-over-par 81 at the 4A Metro West Regional on May 4. She finished sixth at Raccoon Creek Golf Course.
DENVER — Kelli Keegan may be Evergreen's No. 1 singles player, but the senior has said that she's felt like an underdog all season.
She doesn't have to feel that way anymore.
Many readers of this column have asked for suggestions on the best trees and shrubs to plant in landscaping their homes in this area. If you need large trees, there is nothing better than the native ponderosa pine, blue spruce and Douglas fir.
However, the blue spruce and Douglas fir need a bit more water and do their best in a ravine on a north slope, while a ponderosa pine will grow on a south slope. All of these or any other trees will need extra water for the first two to three years until they become established.
Summer girls hoops camp scheduled for June 1-4
The Evergreen High School girls basketball summer camp is scheduled for June 1-4 from 1-3 p.m. daily at Wulf Recreation Center.
The camp is open to incoming 3rd through 8th graders.
Cost is $70.
For more information and information on the registration form, visit http://ehsbasketballgirls.weebly.com/cougar-camp-3-8th-grade.html.
LAKEWOOD — If the Evergreen Cougars are fortunate to make the 4A baseball playoffs, as head coach Steve Jones says — and that's pretty likely — games like the 2-1 loss to Wheat Ridge on April 25 will help them.

Biographer Berg has been quick to move, publishing an obituary in Time magazine. The book, the gestation of which was kept totally secret by Putnam's, will be published almost immediately. "Kate often suggested the importance of publishing a book right away," Berg's press release said, "because she presumed there would be many books about her over the years, and she presumed they would be filled with the same misstatements of facts that have appeared over the years."
Right away we are provoked. Without studious knowledge of the Hepburn story, do we know that there have been all that many misstatements of facts? Misstatements of enduring interest, or significance, blemishing Kate's career? Or rather, Kate's life? Nothing could conceivably damage her career, with its four Oscars and 12 Academy Award nominations.
A second question. If she "presumed" there would be many books published about her (there have been 20 already, not including her own), why would they be full of misstatements if Mr. Berg's book will be there to abort such misstatements? Was Kate telling us that future biographers would persist in misstatements, even if Berg told the true story? Why?
But Miss Hepburn was not a vigorous thinker. "I don't regret anything I've ever done, as long as I enjoyed it at the time," she once said. That really is not sound thought, and not even worldly. If such a code were right for her, one would guess she'd think it right for everybody. Have no regrets, as long as what one did was enjoyable at the time? That is strange retroactive self-indulgence. If he enjoyed the rape, he should feel no regret for having done it? If she enjoyed the diversion that meant inattention to a child or to aged parents, then therefore no cause to regret such inattentions?
No word of criticism of Miss Hepburn's acting career would cross this desk without dying a bloody death, but that isn't what Mr. Berg's book is supposed to accomplish. Hepburn said that the book's purpose was to correct misstatements. There are no misstatements in her movies. They are over and done, some of them works of cinematic genius, her artistic deposit, iconic. What is it we are left wanting to know?

JOINT BASE MCGUIRE-DIX-LAKEHURST, N.J. - Winston Churchill was once quoted in saying "You make a living by what you get. You make a life by what you give."
Based on this, service members and families have made quite a life by volunteering nearly 140,000 hours of their personal time to on-base organizations during 2012.
Anyone with base access who is interested in learning more about volunteer opportunities with on-base organizations are encouraged to attend the Volunteer Expo from noon to 1 p.m. April 24, 2013, at Tommy B's Community Activities Center here.
Representatives from nearly 20 on-base organizations will be in attendance to inform potential volunteers about their programs and how volunteers can join the organization.
"This is a great way to learn about the volunteer opportunities on base and find out ways to help," said Mary Kierstead, Joint Base McGuire-Dix-Lakehurst volunteer coordinator at the Military and Family Support Center.
Some organizations who will attend the Volunteer Expo are Blue Star Families, Military and Family Support Center, Joint Base Librar-e and Resource Commons, Operation Santa Claus, The Attic, International Spouses, Youth Sports, Quilts for Kids, Furry Angels Therapy Dogs and Community Outreach Volunteer Experience.
"Our goal is to connect service members and families to the organizations that can not only help them, but welcome them into their organizations," said Kierstead, a Grampian, Pa., native. "The Expo will provide the opportunity to explore JB MDL volunteer positions all in one place at one time."
Service members and families benefit in multiple ways from volunteering, said Kierstead.
"Volunteering provides another avenue to assist others and it enables people to bring new and fresh ideas to an organization," said Kierstead. "Volunteers also gain enlisted performance report bullets, community service for award packages as well as experience for future jobs and resumes."
This is the first year the joint base has hosted an expo in this forum, where registered organizations can promote their work and seek potential volunteers in one location.
"We hope the Expo will continue to grow in upcoming years so all on-base organizations can be represented and they can educate who they are and what they do," said Kierstead.
