Acrobat 9 Pro Getting Started
Acrobat 9 Pro makes it easier than ever to combine elements from various sources into a single, universal document that can be an interactive hub of digital communication. As Brian Wood demonstrates in Acrobat 9 Pro Getting Started, not only text and images but also audio, video, Flash, and other assets can now be seamlessly combined in a PDF or PDF Portfolio. He shows best practices for streamlining collaborative editing and review, and demonstrates information collection via forms. Brian also covers how to encrypt and sign documents to provide authentication and security. Brian reinforces all these techniques as he works his way through end-to-end workflow scenarios that might be typical of a technical or creative business. Example files accompany the course.

Acrobat is nothing less than the most versatile solution to getting your work from your computer to the rest of the world. (Music playing.) If you're new to Acrobat, no problem. We'll explore the fundamentals, and show you the program's capabilities. So stick with me and I'll make sure it happens. I'm Brian Wood and this is getting started with Acrobat 9. Acrobat 9 is a program I really enjoy teaching because of the versatility and how it interfaces with so many other programs we all use. In Acrobat 9 Getting Started, I'll show your features like creating PDF portfolios.
We'll get into the very cool function of working with multimedia, including Flash video, and you're going to love it when you see how Collaborate Live works. Acrobat 9 is filled with so much functionality you'll never have to leave your chair to see your clients, and I mean that in a good way. As with all lynda.com courses you can come back and review segments, stop and start the training when you please and access the program 24/7. Now let's get into Acrobat 9 Getting Started and see what this program can do for you.
Find answers to the most frequently asked questions about Acrobat 9 Pro Getting Started .
Here are the FAQs that matched your search "" :
- Q: When creating a bookmark in Acrobat 9 using the Select tool then choosing New Bookmark, the bookmark should be titled after the selected section. Instead, the bookmark is titled "Untitled." What could be causing this issue?
- A: Normally, when using the Select text and images tool to create a bookmark, the bookmark should automatically be named after whatever text is selected. However, there may be security on the file or the selected text could actually be an image. Either one of these conditions would prevent the bookmark from being named properly. If the file is protected, remove the protection or contact the file's owner. In the case of an image, the bookmark can be renamed by clicking on the bookmark title.
- Q: In an Acrobat 9 Pro form, what is the best way to set up form field navigation so that clicking on any row of a table redirects to an associated text box on a different page?
- A: The best way to set up form field position is by setting the focus to the field you want users to be redirected to. If you are using Acrobat Professional (not Forms Designer) and the field is in the same document, then use the following JavaScript code: this.getField("Yourbutton").setFocus(); Checkout the "Adding Javascript to a field" movie in Acrobat 9 Pro: Creating Forms for more information.

Shapeways: Bring your creativity to life in 3D http://www.shapeways.com/forum/index.php Shapeways: Bring your creativity to life in 3D How would you print that? http://www.shapeways.com/forum/index.php?t=rview&goto=20212&th=3901#msg_20212 <![CDATA[Hi all,
 I have done a model called Ring'n'Roll, basically two nested rings that can roll one inside the other, and I was wondering how to position the 2 moving parts in the stl file before printing.
 Actually, for the initial model the regular Ring'nRoll I turned the internal ring of 90°. My goal was to minimized the area of contact between the two rings, to avoid they get fused (the thickness is 2 mm and the clearance 0.75). I already ordered it in Alumide in this position.
 But I am now wondring if, depending on the printing direction, there could not be a deformation that could occur differently on each ring, and prevent them from moving freely.

 So for my next model (not ordered yet), the Ring'n'Roll with Holes I decided to keep the 2 rings lying flat on the horizontal surface.

 See the automatically generated thumbnails on these models, or this rendering:

 The first one is "flat" the second one "turned at 90°".

 What is you opinion or experience on this topic?

 I've been pondering the same principles/problems:

 Despite orientations, too much deformation could always kill the principle.
 And even when built with 0.6 mm clearance, I think, in WSF it might fuse.
 On the other hand, I'm afraid the clearance might even be to much and cause to much jiggle.

 One of the options I'm trying, is using a lot of small bulbs on the outside of the inner sphere or the inside of the outer sphere. Might even be able to cheat a little with the clearance then.

 Would not really work for a version with holes though

 Very curious as to how you Alumide model turns out!
 I've been putting of ordering the sphere, afraid of an expensive disappointment

 Cheers

 So I guess I should go on with my initial plan and try to minimize the contact area between the two rings to avoid their fusion.
 The rings were initally planned to be in metal, but as you said, that's an expensive experiment.

 What are the dimension of your design and for which material is it planned? Is it a kind of box?

 BTW, your idea about adding bulbs is very interesting (also because it minimizes friction). But if you think holes can be an issue, then watch out! Even in your design, you still have a big hole

 As soon as I received my Ring'n'Roll (sounds better than Onion Ring, right?  ), I will post some pictures.]]> Magic 2010-11-08T22:31:01-00:00 Re: How would you print that? http://www.shapeways.com/forum/index.php?t=rview&goto=20257&th=3901#msg_20257 <![CDATA[Yup, great name

 But yes, Onions, wonderful subject for experimentation and inspiration

 I came up with: balls + box ~ ballox ~ bollocks
 So eh no, currently it has no title

 Initially it was just planned as a fun multi layer round box pendant for wsf. (about 5 cm)
 But I dismissed that because of material cost and the clearance/jiggly/fusing issues.
 After reading up some more, I'm curious if 0.75 mm clearance would be enough.

 But I don't think metal would ever work on my design, would be difficult to keep the two parts separate.
 I have no idea what kind of grain size they use for packing/stuffing for the sintering, but trying to fill a large thin area like this.. seems doubtful.
 Then again I might still not understand the process fully

 So as I have never even tried the detail materials
 I might give those a shot. Especially since seeing the headspace bowl in real life.

 For the metals I have adapted the design, hope to finish and order those soon.

 Cheers!

The clearance is perhaps slightly too large (0.5mm would perhaps be enough). But it can roll in any directions (the two rings being parallel or perpendicular) and you can make the inner ring roll inside the outer one or the outer one roll around the inner one.
 It is pure pleasure!
 I will post a video for the end of this week, hopefully.]]> Magic 2010-11-16T12:48:54-00:00

In August, a slew of shows were pirated on various outlets, but as it turns out, some of the most-pirated shows were some of this summers most popular programsor at least some cult hits. You can check out the 10 most pirated shows downloaded on Pirate Bay in the month of August.
Despite Under the Dome being a pretty huge summer success for CBS over the past few years, the network has decided that its been cooped up underneath that structure for long enough, and the execs are ending the show after this season.
When it comes to TV shows that are both ridiculous and ridiculously confusing, its hard to do much better than CBS Under the Dome. After two-and-a-half years of will they/wont they in terms of characters making it out from under the titular prison, it looks as if no one will be down there soon.
Now airing its third season on CBS, Under the Dome has seen plenty of characters die off of the science fiction-based series. However, while its not unexpected for characters to get killed off on TV, it is very unexpected to hear that a lead actor nearly ended up dying on the set.
CBS has started to put together a pretty compelling summer lineup. Today, the network announced that three of its original programs will be returning this summer, along with a brand new TV series based on a bestseller by James Patterson.
Under the Dome has proven time and again that no character is genuinely safe in this series, as numerous characters have already been killed off. But is one of them going to come back? During the Under the Dome panel at Comic-Con in San Diego today, executive producer Neal Baer dropped a pretty strong hint about the potential return of one of two specific characters.
The ratings are in, and while Under the Dome's Season 2 premiere performed well, it's still down a bit from the series premiere last summer. While it came close to a series low, the "Heads will Roll" episode of Under the Dome did manage to beat out other network TV competition last night, including 24: Live Another Day.
If you weren't already excited for the return of Under the Dome, the above video should do a nice job of whetting your appetite, especially if you're a Stephen King fan. The author of the book on which this CBS drama is based penned the first episode of the second season, and executive producer Neal Baer admits to hoping that this will be a sign to fans that Stephen King "sanctions the show.
CBS has announced their Fall TV premiere schedule, calling it a "multi-phase rollout." The schedule begins with NFL Thursday Night Football on September 11, while the scripted series don't start rolling out until the week of Sunday, September 21. Among the returning shows lined up for premiere week are The Good Wife, Person of Interest and Hawaii Five-0...
Under the Dome returns for Season 2 in less than a week. CBS has released a couple of previews for the series to give us an idea of what's head. More dome mayhem awaits the residents of Chester's Mill. From the preview above, which has some of the cast -- Dean Norris, Rachelle Lefevre, Mike Vogel, Alexander Koch -- talking about Season 2, it sounds like the second season will pick up pretty much exactly where the first season left off.
The Summer TV season is upon us. With new shows like Extant, Rush and Tyrant -- among others -- joining the lineup, and returning series like True Blood, Doctor Who, Under the Dome, Defiance and Graceland lined up, TV has plenty to offer us this summer.
Though Season 2 of CBS Under the Dome doesnt really have anything to do with Kings source material anymore, TV audiences can still expect for the prolific author's influence to be felt. Especially since hell have his very own cameo in the first episode.
CBS has updated their Summer schedule and includes the premiere date of Season 16 of Big Brother. The reality competition series will kick off nearly a year to the date from last season's premiere, which got off to an earlier start than usual. Also on the schedule is CBS's new drama Reckless, and a slightly updated start date for the sci-fi series Extant.
What better way to kick off the start of production for the second season of Under the Dome than with a video of Stephen King calmly "Tweeting" from an old typewriter on the set. Because that's how Stephen King would Tweet, right? The teaser from the set also features Under the Dome stars Mike Vogel and Colin Ford throwing Dean Norris's character under the bus as they plead for him to be the one to not be safe this season.
ER alum Sherry Stringfield has been cast in CBS's drama Under the Dome in what could prove to be a pretty crucial role in the story. As was the case with the recent casting of Grace Victoria Cox in Season 2, this role isn't directly connected to a character from Stephen King's book. But given how far the series has already drifted from its source material, that's to be expected at this point.

SOPCHOPPY, Fla. (AP) — Gwen Graham in Florida and Michelle Nunn in Georgia are trying to repeat their political successes of their well-known fathers.
Graham is campaigning for a U.S. House seat in a conservative part of Florida. Her dad, Bob Graham, served as both governor and senator.
Nunn is running for the U.S. Senate. Her dad, Sam Nunn, left the Senate almost 18 years ago.
Both fathers were old-school Southern Democrats. Their daughters are holding up their dads as examples of what kind of elected officials they'd be.
They hope that will help win over conservative white Southerners who voted for their fathers but have since abandoned the Democratic Party.

Nineteen Poems
The following nineteen poems, ordered chronologically, were written between 1959, when Irby was a graduate student in far Eastern studies at Harvard, and 1972, when he was again living in Boston, teaching as an assistant professor at Tufts. Thirteen of these poems are first published in this special feature, while the six remaining are reprinted here for the first time since they initially appeared in literary journals of modest distribution during the 1960s and early 1970s. However, all but three of the poems included in this issue — i.e., "For Gordon Clark"; "Thanksgiving Day, and Lowell's Birthday"; and "In the Middle of the Road" — appear in their manuscript or typescript form, copies of which Irby enclosed along with letters and other items of correspondence. The recipients of these letters, as well as the publication or relevant archival information about the poems, are listed below. For further pertinent biographical context, see the selection of Irby's letters to Edward Dorn, included in this feature.
All italics indicate handwritten text, and any text appearing within square brackets has been editorially inserted. With the exception of the four Mandelstam translations, as well as the "Poem for Ronald Johnson," all of the originals exist as typescripts, and any handwritten revisions (or potential revisions) have been inserted or noted as close as possible to where they originally appear. For the sake of clarity and consistency, the date and location of composition of each of these poems (whether indicated by the original document or not) have been brought flush with the left margin, three lines below the final line of text. In cases where the published version of the poem does not indicate a date and/or location of composition, this information appears in square brackets.
Special thanks to Ben Friedlander, for seeking out drafts of Irby's early work in Irby's letters to Charles Olson, as well as to Melissa Watterworth Batt, in the Department of Archival and Special Collections at the Thomas J. Dodd Research Center, University of Connecticut, and to Elspeth Healey, in the Department of Special Collections at the Kenneth Spencer Research Library, University of Kansas. Special thanks also to Ken Irby and Jeff Bergfalk, for taking the time to review these transcriptions.

*With regard to these poems, in a letter to Charles Olson of June 9, 1959, Irby writes:
[…] I enclose a few poems — the best ones I have written so far, all produced in what time was left over from Chinese this spring (I've been working on a M.A. degree in East Asian studies at Harvard this past year). I haven't any illusions about these pieces — they aren't particularly good, and I know in many cases why. In fact, I know too much about them — and don't feel enough; too much thought and not enough emotion, action, experience — that's the whole foundation of the lackings in them; and in me generally! I am interested, intensely, in whatever comments you might make on them; I know whatever you would say would be opinion, but the opinion of an accomplished poet whose work I admire very much. I guess every writer who's just beginning wants to know this from the older authors who are already established: is what I've written worth anything at all? And I'm no different, but: no matter what, I'll keep on writing, whether it's good now or not. I can't even say why, except that I feel constant drive to write, to communicate, I guess, as well as by expressing my feelings on paper to some how make clearer to myself what I am. I have been writing off and on for the last ten of my 22 years and by now I can't stop. But I am vitally interested in having the opinion of some poet whom I respect on what I've written.
As I mentioned above, I've spent the last year studying Asian subjects, mainly the Chinese language, at Harvard; and I guess I'll be back again next year, and so on until I get a doctorate and can teach. But I am not at all certain about this, nor anything else for that matter. This year has been probably the most critical in affecting my attitude and way of thought of any in my rather brief existence. I only mention this because it may help somehow to explain the rank confusion in the poems. They exhibit, I suppose, the influence of the poets I have been reading this spring: yourself, W. C. Williams, Robert Lowell (his newest work), Ginsberg, Corso, Duncan, Rilke, Pasternak, Paz, Vallejo, Wallace Stevens — all in all a pretty mixed up lot. So far all I feel I have been doing is superimposing some preconceived notions and generalities on a set of variegated symbols and images; I haven't been doing what I want to do, what I feel I should do: draw the ideas and images naturally from what I see, letting the vision, the concrete situation(s) engender, generate from what I already know, have felt, the images and statements. Trilling's statement on Keats in the introduction to Keats' selected letters sums up what I desire, even though I have not attained it: "He believed that this answer (to life) was to be derived from intuition, courage, and the accumulation of experience. It was not, of course, to be a formula of any kind, not a piece of rationality, but rather a way of being and of acting." In other words, as Malraux says, a man is the sum of his actions; and simply enough that makes me about nothing so far. But enough of this. I only write to accompany the poem I enclose. If they strike you enough to make some comment on them, one way or the other, I will be pleased and grateful. I hear Grove Press is bringing out a volume of your selected poems in the fall. I look forward to reading it: getting hold of many of your poems has been a problem all year long! I hope this hasn't bothered you unduly, but I've reached the point where I've got to show what I'm writing to somebody, somebody who damn well knows what he's doing. […]
**Note the image in this issue of "Poem for Ronald Johnson" in manuscript form, from one of Ronald Johnson's "Autograph Books," which are housed at the Kenneth Spencer Research Library at the University of Kansas (see above). The first word of this poem appears in brackets in this transcription because neither the editors nor the author have been able to decipher it. The choice of "Tossed" is based on the notion that Irby playfully substituted a miniscule long "s" ["ſ"] for the modern short character.
Twelve letters from Kenneth Irby to Edward Dorn
Gathered here are twelve letters from Kenneth Irby to Edward Dorn, spanning roughly a decade, from January 1963 to February 1974. While this selection constitutes a small portion of only one side of the complete correspondence between the two poets — a correspondence they maintained until Dorn's death in December 1999 — it is intended to provide a representative sample of Irby's epistolary prosody, exuberance, and generosity. To get an immediate sense of these qualities, as well as the measure and nature of Irby's investment in corresponding with Dorn, take the following two paragraphs from Irby's letter of late May 1997, the month Dorn was diagnosed with inoperable pancreatic cancer and given three months to live:
… & I've been going back over all the years and connections we've had since I first met you, that NYrsEve of 1960 in Santa Fe, the Army guys and me coming to see you on Camino Sin Nombre — down to the afternoon at your place last Jun in Denver — back and forth across the continent, and still on-going —
I just want to say — as a kind of declaration, an affirmation — how much you have meant to me and go on being, person, work, all the infinite inter-essences and resonances beyond articulation, but felt — I won't belabor this, but there is no one whose moral integrity & intelligence I respect more, and no one, not Olson, not any other person, who has more revealed and made available the complex of the land of birth and upbringing, this shaggy centrum, than have you — little capable as I have been as an attender, no matter — you, in all this, magister, believe me — and thanks, man! all the kindnesses, the edges, the demands, the compassions — there are times when such things have to be said, and reaffirmed, and to fare forward with — ever onward —
Ever onward indeed: Dorn fought his "environmentally / Induced and politically generated" tumor for another two and a half years. In April 1999, a few days after his seventieth birthday, he sent Irby a short letter on stationary from Santa Fe's famous La Fonda hotel, at the top of which is printed the phrase: "The Inn at the End of the Santa Fe Trail":
We are travelling these parts mainly because my health has improved enough to allow it — gaining ten pounds of flesh and generally more focused energy. It is bitterly cold — even the wooden Indians are beginning to shake & fret. My chemo day Taxol, is on Monday but that will be cool with the oncologist when I phone him in the moanin'. John and Marina, Jenny's Bro in Law & Blood Sister are fellow passengers — Ken, I heard you got a job. If correct that sounds so good. I'm retired and on my own 1st time since 1960.
I'm working faster & better than in years. It's exciting to have the continuity of expression even if in or with a 70 yr old brain to work with.I know how much it means to you to have your situation stabilized. Congratulations —
On New Year's Eve 1960 Irby was twenty-four, seven years younger than Dorn, whose number he'd found in the Santa Fe phonebook after discovering his whereabouts in the back pages of Donald Allen's anthology The New American Poetry, published in May of that year. Having been drafted into the army that summer, after he'd completed a master's degree in Far Eastern studies at Harvard, Irby was stationed in Albuquerque, about an hour's drive from the state capital. In an untitled, unpublished prose piece, Dorn describes the "cryptoliberalism" and "stockbroker bohemism" that characterized the "terminal circumstance" of Santa Fe around the time he first met Irby:
New Mexico, 1959, was teeming with the investment of that primitive wage-slave hope of total destruction through Rockets & Bombs, a development spinning out of the Eisenhower funk-period. […] My address in Santa Fe at this time was Camino Sin Nombre (like gazing at the backside of a tautology) and directly below me the creator of Mat Helm had two cheap but effective spotlights trained on my whole front yard. Free light, all night. Bounding hounds. 4-wheel-drive Vehicles. Very off-base anthropod census-takers. Weird pre-freak cunt-oriented vintage chicks loaded down with silver and turquoise, maybe into something like childrens books. Everything generally off to the side in this situation. Really specific Generals completely outa town, in the hills. […]
It was into this radically unpromising unus mundus that Kenneth Irby drove disguised as a contemporary serviceman but secretly the manager of a team of proto-zen archers (mostly Kentuckians) then stationed with nearly complete indifference (short of perfection like a vacuum) at Sandia Airforce Base. As anyone who has cried Help! can believe, I was delighted to see him. Hearing him was another matter. Between the overwhelming yelping of his hounds gradually I became aware that he was shifting this cargo over the chinese border using a bill of lading in greek. That was probably a courtesy, I've since concluded. Then he would fall asleep. Heavy sleep. But not me. If you lived in Santa Fay you didn't go to sleep. Not on Camino Sin Nombre. Wild totalities in the name of that road. Earth, Night, Rivers, Sleep, Strife, Victory, and so on. I was the guard of something or other there. I don't yet know what. But it was a yeasty time.[1]
Here we find evidence of "the kindnesses, the edges, the demands, the compassions" to which Irby's above letter refers, and although Dorn remains a silent addressee in the following selection, these qualities, at least, reverberate in the enthusiastic abundance of Irby's letters.
This selection picks up with Irby in January 1963, roughly five months after he completed his two-year draft duty in the army, and five months before he dropped out of his Harvard PhD program. "The point is," he wrote to Dorn in mid-January 1963, "my increasing commitment to writing, that Harvard, nor any such place, can't foster (or prevent). Clearly. But the commitment is there, for better or worse. I've got so fucking much to learn." Having thus committed himself to the life of a writer, whatever that might mean, Irby left Cambridge in June, just as he had four years before, and headed for Albuquerque, stopping off briefly in his hometown of Fort Scott, Kansas. Subsequently, these letters track (with admittedly large gaps) Irby's path from Albuquerque to San Francisco in 1964, to Berkeley in early 1965, where he lived until 1971, at which point he made another transcontinental move, returning to Boston, this time to teach at Tufts University, until 1973, when he relocated to Copenhagen, Denmark, for a one-year visiting professorship and a few months of traveling mainland Europe on a Fulbright grant. Dorn, meanwhile, led an even more peripatetic life, moving with his family from Pocatello, Idaho, in 1965, to Colchester, England, where he'd been hired on a Fulbright grant to teach in Donald Davie's newly minted literature department at the University of Essex. In the late summer of 1968, recently divorced, Dorn returned to the States with his new partner, Jennifer Dunbar, whom he married the following year. Between 1968 and early 1974, where this selection ends, Dorn and Dunbar lived all over the US and beyond: in Taos, Lawrence, Chicago, Kent, West Newbury, Riverside, Rollinsville, San Francisco, Vancouver, Colchester: the list goes on.
By 1974, having published seven books over the previous decade, Irby was preparing an expanded edition of To Max Douglas, for which he asked Dorn, in the final letter included here ("12 Feb 74"), to contribute a short preface (Dorn agreed). The following year, Dorn's own meta-Western mock-epic Gunslinger — all five books of it (including its "interlude" book, The Cycle) — was published by Wingbow Press, ending a seven-year phase in his career that began in England amid the uproar of 1968, and which, likely more than any other period, secured a dedicated readership for his work.
Irby's correspondence with Dorn offers an impressive bibliographical counterpart to his recently published collected poems, The Intent On (Berkeley: North Atlantic Books, 2009), and because he shares a deep and abiding interest in geography, as well as a debt to Charles Olson (Dorn's teacher at Black Mountain), these letters are particularly rich with references to landscape-related literature, to the writings of cultural geographer Carl Sauer, or historian James Malin (whose work Dorn and Irby discussed coediting a selection of, for Frontier Press, in the late '60s), or to the journal accounts of arduous expeditions — e.g., Silvestre Vélez de Escalante, Jedediah Smith, and John Wesley Powell — or to an array of writers from the sixteenth century, the first period of European exploration in the New World, the period of wanderers like Alvar Nuñez Cabeza de Vaca and Francis Drake, and mystics like Jakob Böhme and John ("Dr.") Dee. But it's not only books on these topics that Irby discusses: he explores a variety of ways of getting to know the earth's potencies, such as when he provides, in the postscript to a late October letter from San Francisco, the mailing address for a San Antonio cactus farm, from which one could order a hundred peyote buttons for $11. Still, perhaps the most evocative and compelling aspect of these letters is their depiction of the vicissitudes of Irby's experience as young artist: his struggle to extricate himself from his academic confinement in the "one vast city of the east coast," intermittently fleeing Cambridge on the weekends to visit LeRoi Jones or Paul Blackburn in New York City, or Olson (twice) in Gloucester, and subsisting on epistolary encouragement from Dorn and Robert Creeley, among others, to follow his writerly inclinations; or the rich delight he takes living in San Francisco or Berkeley, where he found a welcoming community of friends and fellow artists, and, despite "the tracts billboards freeways & waste dumpage," could relish the lush atmosphere of California, "land of magnificent vistas & formations like none on earth," he writes in one letter, and where his work as a poet really began to thrive. "Yeasty" is, for both writers, an apt description of the decade that this selection covers.
Note on the text
In a short memoir/essay included in this feature, Andrew Schelling describes what a typical letter from Irby might look like:
Typically his full letters would go a couple of tight single-space typewritten pages (in the very small font-size his typewriter had), then as he broke off to sign the letter he would add marginal notes, then long looping addenda that wound around the pages; then he'd begin to write where the typewriter left off, and another page or two of his compact handwritten words would come.
Incapable of reproducing the shape of their originals, the following transcriptions necessarily lack one of the most beautiful features of Irby's letters: their near illegibility. The effect is due less to Irby's handwriting than to his habit (as Schelling notes) of filling every square iota of the page's surface with it — blocks of text running in multiple directions, a vortification of the page. Aside from the physical appearance of these transcriptions, then, the general formatting and stylistic features of the originals have been reproduced as accurately as possible. Irby's dropdown indentations for new paragraphs, for example, his substitution of the em dash for various marks and functions of punctuation, and his characteristically expressive compound word-formations (e.g., "howsomever," "hodgepodged," "yesiree," "hardnesses," "outloud," "buildingup," "headon," "wot the hell," "fur shure," "it not only thunderstormed, […] it hailed abt hensegg size"), as well as his Blk Mntn shorthand (e.g., "yr," "cd," "wd," "abt," etc.), have all been retained. And Irby's characteristic practice of underlining text for emphasis has also been preserved, both for the sake of verisimilitude and for maintaining a clear distinction between authorial and editorial formatting gestures (i.e. underlining vs. italicizing; see below).
For the sake of readability, some of Irby's marginalia, "looping addenda," and minor handwritten revisions have been moved from their original positions but all significant modifications that these transcriptions have made to the manuscript or typescript originals are detailed in the endnotes. Italics indicate any handwritten changes or additions to the letter — e.g., continuations in the margin, side-notes and footnotes, caret inserts, etc. With a few exceptions (e.g., the three-tiered wordplay in the first paragraph of Irby's "12 May 72" letter), this material appears either at the end of the main body of the letter, or is provided in the endnotes, which offer a wide variety of contextual information, from the names of lesser-known writers and literary magazines, to relevant historical events, like the Delano Grape Strike. For further biographical context, including the years of publication for Irby's major books, see the "Chronology" elsewhere in this feature. Likewise, for a brief discussion of the barn star symbol that accompanies Irby's signature in letters beginning around 1965, see Denise Low's essay.
Irby enclosed drafts of poems with a number of the following letters, and with the exception of those that have been collected in The Intent On, all of these poems are reproduced in this feature. Two of these poems however — "KANSAS FLOWERS" ("26 Dec 1965"), and "KANSAS IS THE HOME OF PROHIBITION" ("12 Sep 1963") — which originally occur, handwritten, in the flow of the main text of their respective letters, have been reproduced as such here. The other poems appear in the unpublished/uncollected poems section of this feature, and information about their epistolary origins can be found in that section's prefatory note. Lastly, the ellipses enclosed in square brackets indicate places where text has been removed, either at the request of the author, or out of respect for the privacy of other people. These ellipses appear in brackets so as not to be confused with ellipses in the original.
With the exception of the two letters quoted at length in this introduction — both of which come from Irby's personal archives — the originals of all of the following letters are housed with Dorn's papers in one of two special collections libraries: the first five letters included here appear courtesy of the Department of Special Collections and University Archives, Stanford University Libraries; and the remaining seven letters appear courtesy of the Department of Archival and Special Collections at the Thomas J. Dodd Research Center, University of Connecticut. Specific citation information for each letter can be found in the endnotes. — Kyle Waugh

Russian poetic counterpublics
As we all know, poets can be difficult.
Some use difficult and challenging language. Others write about difficult topics. The writing of some may not correspond to common expectations among readers. Some are simply ornery. For a poet writing in English for American audiences, or a Russian writing for Russian audiences, being difficult might result in a more modestly scaled audience and publication in small journals and small presses — circumscribed circulation in poetic counterpublics. Yet when it comes to translations from one language to another, the consequence of difficulty often is simply neglect.
Translation (which in any case accounts for a tiny portion of poetry published in the US) depends on the tastes and knowledge of the small community of adepts possessed of the necessary linguistic skills, time, passion, and purpose. In the case of Russian poetry over the course of the twentieth century, the situation was rendered more challenging by constraints on access to underground, unpublished, or self-published poetry (samizdat, as it was called), and by Cold War literary politics that dictated which poets were worthy of translation. To reach an Anglophone audience, Russian poetry had to pass through a complex system of filters, baffles, valves, and grates — crossing not only linguistic barriers, but also material, social, and ideological ones. Of course, the same may be said of any act of translation. My point is that these conditions were intensified to an extreme in the case of Russian poetry for much of the twentieth century. Russian poetic counterpublics were rendered remote, unknown enclaves of writing.
Fortunately, since the end of the Cold War, the situation is improving. This is not only the result of the vanishing of Soviet state controls on publishing and the ebbing of Cold War mentalities; it is also the result of the appearance of new generations of translators. The authors of the essays and translations offered here are part of a new wave of scholars, poets, and translators whose professional activity bridges Russian and American literary contexts in ways that would have been nearly impossible twenty-five years ago. Polina Barskova, born in St. Petersburg, is a Russian poet and American scholar of Russian writing who teaches at Hampshire College. Eugene Ostashevsky, born in Leningrad and raised in New York, is an American poet and scholar who teaches at NYU. Stephanie Sandler and Kevin M. F. Platt, US-born scholars of Russian literature, have both spent considerable amounts of time in the company of the poets they translate and discuss here.
In short, the translation projects represented here have been made possible by a high degree of close, lived contact — contact that circumvents and short-circuits that older system of baffles and filters (while, perhaps, instituting new ones). This is translation as a form of intimacy. The result, a small sampling of which is included in the essays and translations published here, is a new injection of the writings of difficult (not necessarily ornery) Russian poets into the American scene, and a glimpse into formerly remote Russian poetic counterpublics.

Dubai became the biggest transit city for gold in the world last year with around 40 per cent of the global physical gold trade passing through the city at 2,250 tonnes, according to the executive chairman of the Dubai Multi Commodities Centre [2] Ahmed bin Sulayem speaking at the opening of the annual Dubai Precious Metals Conference [3] today.
'The Ruler of Dubai, Sheikh Mohammed bin Rashid Al Maktoum set us a target of 50 per cent when the DMCC started in 2002 and we are still a little short,' he said. 'Gold worth a total of $75 billion was moved through Dubai in 2013.'
African summit
The theme of the conference this year is African engagement. Mr. Bin Sulayem commented that out of the 8,300 companies employing 89,000 staff in the DMCC there are 633 from Africa. Both gold and diamonds from Africa are processed in Dubai.
The key address this afternoon came from gold industry veteran John Hathaway from Toqueville Asset Management in New York who has $2 billion under his management. He expressed 'confidence in the gold price resuming its upward path because of the 'architecture of the gold sector and monetary policies around the world.'
However, he warned of third party risk even in allocated gold accounts where the bank's assets were likely to be seized, and suggested non-banking institutions were better places to hold gold.
In his view the 'architecture of the gold sector' is liable to breakdown at some point due to 'complex and arcane leasing processes' and the 'leverage of paper against physical gold'.
No forecast
That said he would not give a gold price forecast, let alone try to time one. Maybe he is just tired of being wrong as are many gold commentators. The last bull throwing in the towel is usually a very positive indicator. [4]
Next up was the president of the American Business Council of Dubai & the Northern Emirates, Ramsey B. Jurdi with a stern lesson of how US sanctions on Iran were also designed to impact local businesses if they traded in precious metals with Iranians. Basically they would have the same sanctions imposed on them, preventing US dollar transfers, for example and business with US entities.
Maybe the atmosphere of the DPMC was a little subdued this year after the gold price falls of 2013 [5] but the audience was up from 350 to over 500, a better reflection perhaps of the strength of the bullion trade in Dubai.

I have my Drupal installation set up to use both Texy for markup (hand-writing HTML soon gets tedious) and GeSHi for syntax highlighting (which is about the only syntax highlighter I found for Drupal at that time).
The problem now is that since the last update to Texy seemingly nothing really works anymore. I spend a long time trying to convince both of them working together a while ago but it was a pretty flaky setup. Depending on the order of evaluation of both filters I either get no syntax highlighting or all, escaped HTML output, line breaks disappear or, sometimes, it can indeed work.
I am now at a point where it almost works again, but with exceptions. Ideally GeSHi would take care of the code, while Texy handles the rest, but that's not the case. The nice regular expression
gets the part between the first two asterisks italicized, since Texy runs over that part as well. Which is unfortunate, since it changes the meaning of the regex.
Anyone out here who has insights of how to peroperly set up multiple filters for input in Drupal and how to handle non-HTML markup and syntax highlighting simultaneously. As I currently have to go over every post that contains code I have written (nearly all) it wouldn probably not much less work to completely redo every page on the site in search for a better setup. As for syntax highlighting, I have much need for the usual common languages, such as C#, Java, etc. but also for more esoteric ones like Windows batch files or Powershell. Simply dumping unhighlighted code there isn't very pretty.
So, actually I have two questions here:
- How can one convince multiple input filters to work without interfering with each other, specifically Texy and GeSHI?
- What other options are out there that meet my requirements of easy-to-write non-HTML markup1 and syntax highlighting even for lesser-used languages2?
1 Often I just need emphasis and strong emphasis, sometimes headings, often images, sometimes also tables. Oh, and usually code :-)
2 The Stack Overflow-like guessing for syntax highlighting doesn't work very well for most code, it just works well enough to be a little pleasing.

Outdoor movie screenings are a quintessential part of summer in Philadelphia. Most nights of the week during the summer months welcome at least one movie screening in parks and attractions in Philadelphia and the region.
Throughout the summer months, screenings range from family-friendly flicks like Annie and The Lego Movie to movies for those without a bedtime like Mean Girls and The Sixth Sense.
The outdoor films start at dusk, with start times fluctuating depending on sunset times.
Bonus: Many of the outdoor movie screenings included in this roundup are completely FREE. Read on for our guide to the top outdoor movie screenings in Philadelphia.

On a recent trip to the U.S. i picked up two Surly LHT framesets (Sizes 54cm and 50cm. incl headsets) and brought them back home to Ireland.
The bikes are being built for fully loaded touring in South America next year (on mainly dirt/gravel roads). We are about to begin the build up process and while I have done a lot of research & made a lot of choices, i would greatly appreciate any feedback on my proposed spec list below.
Thank you all
Proposed spec list
Wheels: 36 hole Shimano XT M760 hubs laced to 26" Sun Rhyno Lite XL rims using DT Swiss Competition DB spokes with 3 cross lacing, Marathon XR 2" tyres and Michelin butyl inner tubes.
There are two versions of the Sun Rhyno lite XL Rim - Pinned (27.5mm width) and Welded (29.2mm width). I initially intended going with the welded version assuming incorrectly that this was the reputable version that so many tourers had used. I have since found out that there is another version of the rim, which is simply called the Sun Rhyno. I understand that this is no longer being produced but can be found in limited supply in some places such as SJS cycles in the U.K. I contacted them about the rim choice and they have insisted that the Sun Rhyno is the only version suitable for an extended touring trip. They said " they are two very different rims, Rhyno rims are a very heavy duty touring rim, Rhyno Lite rims are a wide downhill rim with a thin machined sidewall, they are eyeleted to make up for how thin they are.... Be assured the rim which would be best for your requirements in the standard Sun Rhyno. NOT the Rhyno Lite XL."
So one view is that neither of the two versions of the Sun Ryhno lite XL are suitable. I contacted Sun Ringle and they stated that the XL Welded version would be suitable. Can anyone shed any light on this?
If it turns out that neither of the XL versions are suitable for touring, i will probably end up going for Mavic XC719 rims which are readily available in Ireland or alternatively Velocity Deep Vs.
I also wonder about the merits of using two different rims, a stronger one at the rear and lighter one up front.
A large part of the trip will be on gravel and dirt roads, so i think Marathon XRs fit the bill. I wonder however whether using these on both rear and front is overkill and whether i would be better putting something which rolls a bit better (like the Continental Vertical) on the front.
Bottom Bracket: SKF BXC 600, 68 x.113 length (https://www.pacecycles.com/SKF_products.asp)
This is an ISIS BB. I initially believed that the splined bottom brackets represented superior technology, with the ISIS being better in that regard than the Octalink. I am a bit concerned however about why many of the crank and bottom bracket makers seem to be no longer making the splined bottom brackets and have gone completely to external bottom bracket cranks. There is a square taper version of this BB which i could go for instead but it is just not as readily available. Square tapers do of course have a long history of excellent service and seem to be still readily available.
Cassette:11-32, 8 speed.
I'm looking at the SRAM PG850 MTB but I wonder are there any other suggestions for quality 8 speed cassettes.
Chain: Rohloff SLT 99 and Wipperman Connex, 8 speed (which will be switched every 2000km or so).
I have decided to go for an 8 speed set up rather than 9 speed on the basis that many people have found that 8 speed is easier to set up, lasts longer and makes sense on very long tours. An 8 speed kit is also, arguably, as durable as 7 speed. Many tourers have found that the extra cassette cog on a 9 speed cassette makes little difference but the drivetrain ultimately wears quicker and overall is very delicate.
My only concern is that 8-speed components are getting harder to find. For example, one well known bicycle retailer in Ireland states the following on its website: "Shimano 8 speed cassettes are getting harder and harder to find. If you are going to stay with 8 speed, we recommend stocking up on 8 speed parts." I also noticed that virtually all complete touring bikes these days (such as the Koga Myata WT, Thorn's models) are all 9 speed set up. Is there a good reason for this or is it just a big marketing ploy? I do wonder whether i should just give in and go with 9 speed.
Crankset - Middleburn RS7 ISIS Silver 170mm, with MTB Hardcoat, Slickshift Chainrings 22-32-44.
I am a bit stuck on whether to use a 44 or 46 outer chain ring although I have a feeling a 46 could be the way to go.
V Brakes - Avid Shorty 6 or Avid Single Digit.
I would like to get those break pads where you just insert the replaceable pad. I think they are called Kool Stops. I am not sure if these are compatable with all V brakes or only certain brands.
Shifters- ????
Definitely in need of help here. Would appreciate any recommendations for 8 speed shifters to be used on butterfly bars. I'm looking at Sram twist shifters which may be better than trigger shifters on the basis that theyre less likely to get damaged in transit. Will probably stay clear of any combined shift/gear levers set ups as they appear to be too complex for field servicing and repairing.
Derailleurs - Shimano XT M760 front and rear, long range version;
Handlebars: Nashbar Trekking ATB (Butterfly bars);
Would appreciate any recommendations,have looked at the Thomson Elite MTB but not certain what size to order (http://www.lhthomson.com/elite_stem_sizes.asp). I think ideally i would use an adjustable stem with butterfly bars.
Seatpost: Thompson Elite (27.2/330mm);
Saddle: Brooks B17 or the champion flyer
(in spite of the fact that they are heavy, expensive, need protection from the rain and require regular maintenance!)
Pedals: MKS sylvan touring
Any other suggestions welcome. We will just be wearing light hiking boots, so SPD pedals are out.
Racks: Tubus Cargo (rear) and Tubus Tara (front).
Panniers: Ortlieb Bike packer plus (rear) and Sport packer plus (front)

Per @STLouisRams team source, Jo-Lonn Dunbar, suspended w/o pay for first four games, was NOT because of PED, but because of failed test.

Today's FFA offers students lessons in more than farming
Salsa made from homegrown jalapenos packs a lot more heat than a recipe made from store-bought peppers.
That's one thing junior David Bye learned from his agriculture class and FFA activities at John Marshall Mid High School.
The school, with grades 7 to 12 in north Oklahoma City, is more urban than rural. The campus is on NW 122 near the busy Lake Hefner Parkway.
Even so, agriculture classes and FFA are valuable to a student who may never plow a field, milk a cow or raise a calf, said Chris Ivy, one of the two agriculture teachers.
John Marshall's FFA chapter is among 352 from across Oklahoma expected to participate in this year's FFA Convention and Career Show on April 30 and May 1 at the Cox Convention Center.
Ivy said his students are excited about the convention, where they will focus on leadership workshops and activities.
His students get hands-on experience in the school greenhouse, growing flowers and vegetable plants, Ivy said. In early April, they held a plant sale to raise money for FFA programs and beautification of the campus.
Surrounding him in the greenhouse are flats of periwinkles, begonias, peppers, geraniums and ornamental sweet potato vines.
The students develop "a passion for their own home gardening. It's a skill they can take into their adult life" said Ivy, an agriculture education graduate of Oklahoma State University.
The students learn to keep an eye on the plants and "if something's wrong, how to fix it," Ivy said.
"They really take pride in what they're doing. They take ownership."
There's another perk to taking ag class, said Bye, an aspiring aircraft engineer who has started a garden at home. "You can get dirty at school."
No animals are part of the program right now, but Ivy hopes to let eighth graders try hatching chickens sometime in the future.
Changing times
Times have changed for FFA, which used to be the abbreviation for Future Farmers of America. Now, it's just FFA, the student organization for the agriculture education program, said Aaron Harrell, Ivy's fellow ag teacher at John Marshall.
Among other things, FFA teaches leadership skills, parliamentary procedure and how to conduct a meeting. "FFA isn't what it used to be — it's better," said Harrell, who has taught horticulture and agriculture for 39 years.
"We're not trying to train farmers," said Harrell, who also teaches welding.
Some information will help students at home, like learning what types of prime beef to buy and where it comes from, and whether it's better to start a lawn through sprigging or sodding.
His class also addresses types of agricultural careers that even urban students might consider.
He asks students to think about horses and the many things it takes to turn one into a racehorse. Someone must supply the feed, clean stalls, train and shoe the animals.
Other career possibilities are becoming a veterinarian and maintaining the grounds around the racetrack, Harrell said.
"We're looking for something they could do as a career," he said.

Canon Pixma MG8120 Multi Function Printer First Impressions Review
Hands on with Canon's latest All-In-One printer, scanner and fax device.
Product Tour
On the top of the printer is a 3.5-inch LCD screen. This can either lay flat against the printer body, or flip up and angle up to 90 degrees. Below this are a series of buttons and a 4-way directional pad with a scroll wheel around it.
The M8120 is one of the first printers to use Canon's new Intelligent Touch System, where the buttons that control the printer are touch controls on the printer body itself. The buttons are only illuminated when they are needed, depending on which mode the printer is in: buttons that aren't relevant don't show up, presenting a simpler interface for the user.See the two photos below for an example of how this process works.
The printer when it is turned on: the three buttons below the screen choose the mode
After the mode is chosen, more buttons light up as they are needed
The scanner is located underneath the top panel.
The scanner bed of the MG8120
Ink Cartridges
The MG8120 uses 6 ink cartridges in all: the standard cyan, magenta, yellow and a large black, plus a gray and photo black. The idea of the two black cartridges is that documents are printed using the standard black, but photo prints use the separate black which is more suited for photo paper use. The gray ink also allows for better black and white photo reproduction, Canon claims.

McMINNVILLE, Ore. — It was indeed a tornado that damaged several buildings Thursday in the community of McMinnville, the National Weather Service has confirmed.
Nobody was hurt, but three commercial buildings, all of them used for storage, were damaged, McMinnville Fire Chief Rich Leipfert said. The porch roof on one nearby home also sustained minor damage, Leipfert said.
A two-person NWS storm survey team dispatched to the scene confirmed the damage was caused by a tornado but did not immediately determine its wind speed or strength, Weather Service meteorologist Miles Higa said Thursday night from Portland.
McMinnville is about 35 miles southwest of Portland.
"I was just across the way and I saw the whole roof roll up off of the building," Kelly McDonald, managing partner of a nearby development, told the Yamhill Valley News-Register. "I wish I'd had the presence of mind to take a picture. I was just trying to get everyone inside."
Sean Cahill got caught in a torrential hailstorm as he was driving. He didn't see any cloud, he said, but he did see building debris flying in circles about 100 feet in the air.
"It looked like a confused flock of birds," Cahill said.
Experts look at debris patterns to confirm whether a tornado is responsible for damage, Higa said. The survey team also reported some damaged trees near the buildings that were hit.
The McMinnville tornado hit at about 4:30 p.m., he said.
Funnel clouds reportedly were also seen Thursday afternoon in or near the communities of Hillsboro, Albany and Harrisburg, Higa said.
Tornadoes in Oregon are rare. The last notable twister struck Aumsville, east of Salem, in December 2010, according to a list on the National Weather Service website. The storm caused more than $1 million in damage to 50 homes and four businesses, but nobody was injured.
