Based on what we have seen so far, you may be thinking that we need to know a layer's name in order to make it current. This is not the case. In this lesson, we'll learn a shortcut that allows us to set the current layer by picking objects on screen. In this example, I have an unfinished mechanical part consisting of a top and front view. Take a look at these edges. These would show up in the top view as a solid line. In order to draw that geometry, I need to make sure the part layer is current. At this point, I don't know what name is being used for the part layer, and you know what, I don't have to know it.
If I come up to the Layers panel, I can click the Make Object's Layer Current button, select the layer I am interested in and that becomes the current layer. I will then launch the Line command and I'll create a line from this endpoint. I'll lock the Ortho and I'll drag this line out through the part. I'll click and I'll press Escape when I am finished. Then I'll create a copy of this line. We'll copy it from one edge to the other. Finally, I'll launch the Trim command and I'll grab the edge of the part. And I'll use this geometry to trim off my projections.
Now let's take a look at the edges underneath. These would show up in the top view as hidden lines. Once again, don't even need to know the layer name. I'll just click Make Object's Layer Current. I'll select the layer I am interested in, and then I can continue working on the part. I'll launch the Line command again. I'll create a line from this edge and drag it up through the part. I'll copy this projection over from one endpoint to the other. I will then launch the Trim command and use the edge of the part to trim off these projections.
In the event I wanted to add more dimensions to this drawing, I could come up and choose Make Object's Layer Current, grab a dimension and I am now ready to add additional annotations to this file. As you can see, it isn't always necessary to know a layer's name to make it current. Using the Make Object's Layer Current tool, we can choose the current layer as fast as we can click objects on screen.

Three suicides and one attempted suicide by inmates since Wednesday has prompted stepped-up preventive measures by Philadelphia prisons, officials said.
A 25-year-old man was found hanging from an air vent in his cell at the Detention Center in an apparent suicide Friday afternoon. A second man at the Detention Center survived an attempted suicide Friday and was transported to a hospital.
On Wednesday, a 23-year-old man died of a suicide at the Detention Center. The same day, a 24-year-man committed suicide at the Philadelphia Industrial Correctional Center. Both deaths were by hanging.

Recent Population Change
Stay Connected
Nonmetro areas in some parts of the country have experienced population loss for decades. However, the 2010-15 period marks the first time with an estimated population loss for nonmetro America as a whole.
Population loss of just over 136,000 people represents a quite small -0.29 percentage loss for nonmetro areas as a whole over the 2010-15 period.
Nonmetro America does "lose" population every 10 years when nonmetro counties that have been growing rapidly enough become reclassified as metro. In the latest update announced by the Office of Management and Budget in March 2013, 113 nonmetro counties (with 5.9 million people) switched to metro status while 36 counties (with 1 million people) no longer qualified as metro, resulting in a net nonmetro population "loss" of 4.9 million from reclassification. The recent nonmetro population trends described here are independent of reclassification, having occurred in a constant set of nonmetro counties. In the long run, removal of fast-growing counties means nonmetro America is less likely to sustain overall population growth.
County population change includes two major components: natural change (births minus deaths) and net migration (in-migrants minus out-migrants).
Historically, nonmetro population grew because high rates of natural increase always offset any net migration loss in nonmetro areas.
Rural out-migration peaked in the 1950s and 1960s (not shown on graph), but was offset by high "baby boom" birth rates.
Net out-migration from nonmetro areas was more severe during the 1980s compared with 2010-15, but overall population change remained positive during the 1980s because natural increase contributed roughly 0.5 percent growth (compared with 0.1 percent recently).
Nonmetro net migration rates peaked during the 'rural rebound' in the mid-1990s and again in 2004-06, just prior to the recent housing mortgage crisis and economic recession. Net migration remained positive for much of the past two decades, increasing nonmetro population every year but one from 1990 to 2009, but has since contributed to population loss.
The Great Recession contributed to a downturn in natural increase, as fewer births occur during times of economic uncertainty. But falling birth rates and an aging population have steadily reduced population growth from natural increase in rural counties over time, in line with global trends.
Lowering rates of natural change contributed to greater population decline in nonmetro areas and resulted in 284 counties experiencing natural decrease for the first time during 2010-15. The map shows natural change for all counties, metro and nonmetro. Urbanized areas (shown in dark gray) are at the center of metro areas and nonmetro counties are those that are some distance removed, depending on the size of the metro area.
Areas that recently began experiencing natural decrease are found in the Northeast, South, and especially in and around the margins of Appalachia, expanding a large region of natural decrease extending from Pennsylvania through northern Alabama.
Counties end up as natural decrease counties as a result of two separate demographic processes operating over several decades: retiree attraction and long-term out-migration of young adults (who take their future children with them, so to speak).
This first-ever period of overall nonmetro population loss may be short-lived depending on the course of the economic recovery. The cyclical downturn in net migration that began in 2007 bottomed out in 2012, and improving population trends during 2014-15 coincides with a marked improvement in nonmetro employment growth. Even if temporary, this small but historic shift to overall population loss highlights a growing demographic challenge facing many regions across rural and small-town America, as population growth from natural increase is no longer large enough to counter cyclical net migration losses.

Man sought for not returning to MCCC
Authorities are looking for a 32-year-old man who didn't return to the Maui Community Correctional Center on June 30 after being allowed to leave the Wailuku jail on a resocialization pass.
Daniel Holcombe is described as 6 feet 1 inch tall and weighing 185 pounds.
Article Photos
Holcombe was less than a year away from being considered for parole, said state Department of Public Safety spokeswoman Toni Schwartz. She said he had been on work furlough status and was working Monday through Friday outside the jail.
On June 30, Holcombe had a resocialization pass to leave at 8 a.m. and return by 6 p.m., Schwartz said. She said he didn't return.
According to court records, Holcombe was sentenced in August 2007 to a 10-year prison term for first-degree burglary. As a repeat offender, he was ordered to serve at least three years and four months of the term before being eligible for parole.
Anyone who sees Holcombe is asked to call police at 244-6400 to report the escapee.
Haleakala wind advisory expires today
The National Weather Service has posted a wind advisory for the higher elevations of Haleakala through 6 p.m. today.
A strong ridge building at the surface and in the atmosphere will produce strong easterly winds across higher elevations of Maui and the Big Island. The winds are expected to be 20 to 35 mph with localized gusts of more than 50 mph.
The high winds may spread to lower elevations in Maui County tonight.
Motorists should exercise caution due to falling tree branches. High-profile vehicles also may be affected by the wind.
Missed route due to mechanical issues
Mechanical problems led the county Solid Waste Division to miss a trash route in Kula on Tuesday.
The affected areas were along Copp Road, Haleakala Highway, Holomakani Drive and Place, Kamehamehaiki Road, Kekaulike Avenue, Kolohala Drive, Lower Kula, Naalae and Pulehuiki roads, and all surrounding streets.
Crews are expected to make the trash pickups today.
Ace, Ben Franklin stores being renamed
Ace Hardware stores in Lahaina, Kihei and Pukalani and Ben Franklin Crafts in the Queen Ka'ahumanu Shopping Center will be changing their names to HouseMart.
The rebranding was announced by Maui Varieties Ltd., parent company of Ben Franklin Crafts and Ace Hardware Hawaii, last week. The stores will be marking their name change July 20.
The family business, currently run by third-generation owners, began in Kahului as K. Kamitaki Store, which sold dry goods, fabrics and aloha shirts. In 1951, the second generation of the owners expanded the business by acquiring its first Ben Franklin variety store. The Ace franchise was added later to the business.
Maui Varieties currently operates six Ben Franklin Craft stores and 25 Ace Hardware stores in four states.
The third-generation owners of the company are Wayne and Guy Kamitaki, Paul Mizoguchi and Lynn Ushijima.

The Steelers are going to select at least one cornerback in the first two rounds of the NFL draft.
They have to.
Since Mike Tomlin became head coach in 2007, the Steelers have had a need to upgrade their secondary each year. But they have selected four cornerbacks in the draft in those four years with three of them coming in the fifth round and one, Keenan Lewis, in the third.
That's not exactly making a commitment to improving that position.
In fairness to the Steelers, they have made some good picks with their top choices excluding Limas Sweed and the cornerback pool of talent hasn't been the greatest in terms of first-round choices. They've also been to the Super Bowl in two of the last three seasons.
But after the Green Bay Packers' Aaron Rodgers torched the Steelers' secondary for 304 yards and three touchdowns in Super XLV, and the fact that Ike Taylor and William Gay are currently free agents, it has become clear the Steelers need to try and find a young stud at cornerback.
Fact Box
Possible scenario
The following is a stab at how the Steelers' draft may play out over the next three days:
First round (31): Trade to Arizona Cardinals for their second- and third-round picks
Second round (38): Brandon Harris, CB, Miami
Second round (63): James Carpenter, OT, Alabama
Third round (69): Jerrell Powe, NT, Mississippi
Third round (95): Austin Pettis, WR, Boise State
Fourth round (128): Buster Skrine, CB, Tenn.-Chattanooga
Fifth round (162): Da'Rel Scott, RB, Maryland
Sixth round (196): David Arkin, OG, Missouri State
Seventh round (232): Lee Smith, TE, Marshall
The problem is they're picking 31st, so they won't get a chance at the top two cornerbacks available in LSU's Patrick Peterson and Nebraska's Prince Amukamara. Colorado's Jimmy Smith is another first-rounder but most likely has too many red flags for the Steelers.
That would leave the Steelers staring at possibly Texas' Aaron Williams, Miami's Brandon Harris and Virginia's Ras-I Dowling. All three are on the Steelers' radar, and each of them offers something different.
Williams is a 6-foot physical play-maker but is not fast and is expected to eventually play safety in the pros, Harris is fast and can cover but is only 5-10 and isn't as physical, and Dowling is 6-foot-1 and fast but is injury-prone.
It's difficult to predict if the Steelers have one of them rated much higher than the others. The guess here is if all three are available, the Steelers would entertain thoughts of trading out of the first round.
Several teams in the early part of the second round Buffalo Bills, Cincinnati Bengals, Arizona Cardinals, Tennessee Titans, Washington Redskins, Minnesota Vikings and San Francisco 49ers need a quarterback, and if they passed on one early in the first round they may be eager to get back into the first round and grab one of the remaining QBs.
The Steelers could pick up a team's second-round pick and still be able to get one of the three corners and possibly add a third-round pick to their arsenal.
That would also keep them from reaching for need in the first round, which they try and never do.
What may prevent the Steelers from trading out of the first round is if a player such as Ohio State defensive end Cameron Heyward or Mississippi State offensive tackle Derek Sherrod falls to the 31st pick. They may be too good to pass up at that point, and the Steelers could hope Dowling is available at the end of the second round with their next pick.
Once the Steelers get their cornerback, they can start filling their other top needs, which are offensive tackle and defensive line. They also need a tall receiver, third-down running back and a tight end.
And they could also use a second cornerback sometime on the third day of the draft. With the current state of their secondary, the more the merrier.

Tractor-trailer grazes east Erie pharmacy drive-thru
The driver of a tractor-trailer was uninjured tonight when his truck clipped a drive-thru pharmacy overhang outside the Rite Aid Pharmacy at 353 E. Sixth St.
The incident, which occurred just after 9 p.m., involved a C.R. England Global Transportation tractor-trailer.
The truck grazed a corner of the drive-thru overhang behind the west side of the building, police said.
The impact caused minor damage to the building and damage to the truck, police said.
There were no vehicles in the drive-thru, police said.
The driver was en route from Indiana to Buffalo, N.Y, but decided to stop in Erie to visit a friend, police said.
The man was not scheduled to make a delivery to the pharmacy, and police said they were unable to determine why the driver was at the pharmacy.
The man told officers he had recently completed truck-driving school, police said.

2003 ASLA Annual Meeting & EXPO
October 30 - November 3, 2003
New Orleans, Louisiana
The room block this year features a variety of selections: business hotels, historic hotels, restored properties, and suite hotels.. Two locations are featured: near the convention center or near the French Quarter and Business District. A range of sleeping room rates is again provided for you including an upscale property with higher rates.
ASLA hopes you will opt to stay in one of the hotels selected for this meeting. Every night an attendee stays in one of the conference hotels counts towards the total number of rooms used, a statistic reported to the city's convention and visitors bureau. These totals are used by future cities to determine the value of ASLA's business and to decide whether or not ASLA meets the specific number of rooms some cities (i.e. San Francisco and Washington, DC) require before allowing a meeting to be booked there.

Library to Help Homeless Through One Woman's Personal Appeal
JERSEY CITY, N.J. November 3, 2014 – If you're looking for a kind and giving way to usher in the 2014 holiday season, the Jersey City Free Public Library has something – and someone's story – that will warm your heart.
Damaris Aviles and her family are lifelong residents of Jersey City. Recently, she came to speak with Patricia Vega, manager at Biblioteca Criolla, about an idea she has. "I have the desire and hunger to help the unfortunate because of personal experience," Ms. Aviles said, who has spent long periods of time in shelters, though in the states of Iowa and Rhode Island where her shelter experience was considered pleasant.
While walking in the summertime with her daughter, who was 12 at the time, both came upon a woman in a cardboard box thought for dead. When one foot began to move, Damaris approached the woman, and found out it was her sister.

Main Library Renovations to Start in Late October 2014
Main Library Renovations to Start in Late October 2014 Ushering in Disabled Accessibility When Completed
With its cornerstone set in 1899, the 115-year-old Main Library in Jersey City will be getting a top-to-bottom overhaul over the next five years, guaranteeing this historic building's service to the public for the next 100 years.
Residing in the heart of the Van Vorst Historic District, the Main Library, by all accounts, is a community asset that is an architectural masterpiece, designed by architects Brite and Bacon. Its grand opening to the public occurred with pageantry in 1901.
According to the Library's architect, Helena Ruman, AIA, there will be two phases of construction, owing to ongoing funding procurement. Phase I starts with creating barrier-free access to the Main Library's building and facilities. The work will start with construction of a new entrance that will allow wheelchair-bound patrons to access the building at grade level. Public and staff restrooms on the first floor will be altered and improved with consideration for a barrier-free access. A new elevator shaft will be constructed from the basement to the fourth floor, in the rear of the building large enough to accommodate individuals with disabilities, and a sprinkler system installed in the basement.

Ward F Councilwoman Coleman 'Wows' as Guest Storyteller
Ward F Councilwoman Coleman 'Wows' as Guest Storytellerat the Bonetti Children's Room Story Hour on Monday, October 6
If the answer is, "Anything Dr. Seuss!" Then, what's the question?
That's the answer given by Ward F Councilwoman Diane Coleman when Bonetti Children's Room Librarian Francina Stevens asked what books she wanted to read when scheduling a guess visit during Fall 2014 Preschool Story Hour on Monday, October 6th.
A mother of four children, Councilwoman Coleman was a natural, reading with an animated voice and an enthusiasm to read to Jersey City children at the Main Library. Not only did she read three Dr. Seuss titles – Marvin K. Mooney Will You Please Go Now!, I Can Read with My Eyes Shut! and I Wish That I Had Duck Feet – but the Councilwoman participated in all the sing-along activity. It was clear she enjoyed every last shaking of her hands and stomping of her feet!

JERSEY CITY, N.J. September 30, 2014 – If the answer is, "Anything Dr. Seuss!" Then, what's the question?
That's the answer given by Ward F Councilwoman Diane Coleman when Bonetti Children's Room Librarian Francina Stevens inquired of her choices of reading material for the Councilwoman's upcoming storytelling debut on Monday, October 6 at 11 a.m.
Each fall and spring, the Jersey City Free Public Library, through the Vincenzo Domenico Bonetti II Children's Room at the Main Library and all nine branches, conduct special story hours for preschool children and their parents/caretakers. This is a happy time for child-adult bonding with the printed word – where stories are not only read, but many times, acted out with physical choreography, singing and interactive play with the audience. Interspersing the storytelling, the children sing songs such as The Hokey Pokey, If You're Happy and You Know It, and Shake Your Sillies Out.

Jim Snidero: Strings
The recording's primary soloist, Snidero consistently radiates excitement and a beboper's willingness to take risks on ballads ("Theme For Ernie," "Forever Gone") and upbeat material ("Slipping Away," "Ventura"). These liberties are enhanced by the fact that he never allows the strings to become too dense or overly prominent—yet, his writing for the section is often full, lush, and beautiful. During "It's The Talk Of The Town," for example, they lay out for an entire chorus, then return and serve as a muted foil for the leader's flight.
Another important factor in the recording's success is an excellent, responsive rhythm section. Pianist Renee Rosnes (who contributes several fine solos), bassist Paul Gill, and drummer Billy Drummond are just right for Snidero's elastic group conception, mixing a flowing, unforced sense of motion with more concentrated swing. Drummond, in particular, is brilliant. At times his brushes on the snare or a stick to the ride cymbal are barely audible; in other instances, like on "Torrent," his persistent accents to the drums take charge and confront the ensemble and soloists.
Track Listing: 1. Slipping Away; 2. Dawn; 3. On The Bank; 4. Torrent; 5. Theme For Ernie; 6. Forever Gone; 7. Ventura; 8. It's The Talk Of The Town.
Personnel: Jim Snidero--alto saxophone, flute; Renee Rosnes--piano; Paul Gill--bass; Billy Drummond--drums; Laura Seaton (concertmaster), Mark Feldman, Joyce Hammann, Cenovia Cummings, Paul Woodiel, Sue Lorentsen--violins; Ralph Farris, Kenji Bunch--violas; Thomas Ulrich, Mary Wooten--cellos. Conducted by Walt Weiskopf.

If it ain't broke...
Hi all,
I'm just starting my second month of eating (and moving) primally. After the transition period of the first few weeks (getting rid of carb cravings, etc.), I am enjoying VLCD eating more and more. I am totally amazed at the fact that I am not hungry all the time. I used to eat 5-6 small meals a day, and still get constantly hungry (due to calorie deficit despite the number of meals... around 1600-1700/day net).
Now I eat once or twice a day with occasional IF thrown in. It took a while for me to learn to listen to my body (in the right sense), and stop eating when I am no longer hungry, instead of polishing the plate because it is "the right thing to do". I eat if I feel like it, and IF if I feel like it.
However, therein lies the problem... I am 6'2" and weight around 190 pounds. On days when I eat only one meal, my calorie intake for the day tends to hover around 500-700 cals. On two meal days it is around 1100-1200 cals. Even if I have a blow-out day with wine, chocolate and three meals, I am barely over 2000 cals. In other words, my overall calories do not come even close to providing a calorie balance. However, I don't starve... heck, I'm not even hungry, and when I am, I eat.
Having said that, this way of eating has only happened spontaneously over the last two weeks. The first two weeks of primal eating, I tended to stuff myself (at around 1900+ cal/day), but I did not lose any weight. For the past week, the fat is MELTING off, so I figure my fat metabolism has kicked in, and I derive majority of my energy needs from my (still) substantial wobbly deposits.
I would love some comments or experiences other people have. I am a bit concerned about maintaining such low cal intake, but having said that, I am satisfied, not hungry and feel great...
If it ain't broke...

Screen broke? Just buy a new phone :) well, a new used phone that is..
419. azuravssaikou (Posts: 1; Member since: 01 Aug 2012)
For my old iPhone, used to replace it myself by following a DIY guide that involved using a hairdryer to heat up the glue. Nowadays, I normally take it in to get it done, since the process took some time.

I broke my Iphone screen last month. It gave me a reason to order a conversion kit from eBay and to not only replace the screen but turn it green as well! :)
427. btbk2010 (Posts: 4; Member since: 15 Feb 2012)
I have never broken my own phone screen but I have repaired a few phones. Ebay has a lot of great DIY products and Google has a lot of instructions how to do it :)
428. funnyphoney (Posts: 1; Member since: 31 May 2011)
It was cheaper for me to purchase a screen and fix it myself than to send it in and claim the insurance and pay for the co pay.
429. MattBmore (Posts: 3; Member since: 01 Aug 2012)
I had my screen replaced at a Sprint service center. Quick and easy.

I've broken a few screens but the most memorable was on my original Motorola razr. I was sitting on my porch and I flipped it open to answer a call thinking I was a bad&ss and it hit the hand railing shattering the outside screen. I was determined to fix it myself so I bought some clear epoxy from the hardware store, cleaned out all the glass and filled it with the epoxy. Aside from one little bubble and it being a little uneven it worked perfectly... True story.

Broke my screen and had to get a new phone.
433. techi5280 (Posts: 2; Member since: 31 Jan 2012)
Yes, I have broken the screen on my iPhone. I took it to Apple and they replaced my iPhone for $200. Learned my lesson. Will get Apple Care+ or Verizon insurance next phone I purchase.
434. brett0917 (Posts: 3; Member since: 25 Jul 2012)
I have broken my screen a few times and now I've learned to get the insurance on the device so I can replace it for $100.

Broke my iPhone screen and never fixed it.
436. KayB1991 (Posts: 1; Member since: 01 Aug 2012)
This is going to be somewhat long so bear with me. The screen on my captivate cracked after falling off of my dishwasher, I guess it was close to the edge or someone bumped it or something. My mom had the same phone but bricked it when trying to install a custom rom, and upgraded to an iphone. She kept it and since it was still lying around and was basically a paperweight, I took both of them apart and switched all of the internals of my phone with hers so I could have everything that was in my phone but with a screen that was for the most part brand new. Kind of a long process but it worked out.

My HTC One X screen cracked and I brought that to a local mobile phone repair shop for $199!!

439. paulyyd (Posts: 338; Member since: 08 Jan 2011)
Yes I have. I took it to the apple store and they fixed it for me
440. pramod_21c (Posts: 2; Member since: 02 Mar 2012)
Fortunately that hasn't happen to me yet and hence I have do nothing to fix it.
441. sgarcia (Posts: 1; Member since: 01 Aug 2012)
Have you ever broken the screen of your phone and what did you do to fix it?
Taking into consideration the following when I broke the screen of HTC AT & T One X, I had to check prices all over the internet. Ending on Ebay paying over $ 90.00 for the screen. I had to wait a week because the seller had not sent in time. Then I tried to install it myself ... What a mistake! I had to take it to a place that repair phones so they told me they could not guarantee me that worked the screen that I bought on Ebay. I did buy another, #%@*... I had no choice.
I spent two weeks without my Smartphone, I spent over $ 200.00 and the worst was the bad moment I went through. This was my experience and do not wish on anyone.
It definitely had been known that if the service offered by Radio Shack I had resolved in 72 hours. At this moment I go to Radio Shack to ask about the service they have of Werx screen replacements with replacement kit.
That's what I would do if happen right now.

Sucks to break a screen, whats up with the glass being weak.
444. bubba78 (Posts: 57; Member since: 23 May 2011)
I have never broken the screen on one of my phones.
445. Sparhawk (Posts: 75; Member since: 10 Mar 2012)
I broke the screen of a previous phone when i dropped it while talking on it. I was leaning over a railing above a 15-foot drop, and the phone hit cement at the bottom, and landed screen-first but in multiple pieces. Conventiently, I was eligible for an upgrade on VzW anyway, so I simply ordered a new phone.
On a side note, the person on the other end of that call enjoyed the sensation and sound of flying until the call got disconnected. They say that dropping the phone doesn't hurt it; it's the sudden stop at the bottom that does the damage. ;)
446. delaneyrp13 (Posts: 2; Member since: 01 Aug 2012)
Yes i did break the screen on my phone. I was walking down the street and the person in front of me kicked up a pebble and it shattered the glass on my iphone. I used duck tape to fix it.
447. safetyfrog (Posts: 12; Member since: 12 Dec 2011)
I broke my phone screen a nd used insurance to replace
448. Exile SS (Posts: 40; Member since: 07 Oct 2010)
I have broken a few screens already, used the insurance the first time, then my 2 year was up with the second broken screen so I upgraded.

452. SonyFTW2020 (Posts: 311; Member since: 03 May 2012)
aww come one phone arena....I have never broken a screen on my phone could you please switch up the question next time? I'm sure there are others who would like to be asked different questions so it could help them win.
453. michaelny2001 (Posts: 110; Member since: 01 Aug 2012)
Yes, i dropped my iphone while in a home depot and of course it cracked all the way. Fairly easy fix seemed at the time, went on e-bay bought a new screen and without experience tried to fix it myself. Of course i destroyed the iphone and had to buy another one. :-)
454. sta27 (Posts: 3; Member since: 28 Jul 2012)
Not an experience I have had as yet.
455. TheRequiem (Posts: 240; Member since: 23 Mar 2012)
All I ever wanted was a tablet pc, specifically the iPad, but being a student and all, I dont even have money to fix my pc. =(
457. TheRequiem (Posts: 240; Member since: 23 Mar 2012)
I dont why my pc didnt copy, but the rest of my comment said:
I originally had an iPhone 3G and fractured the screen on it. My friend at the time worked on phones and replaced it for $30, worked like new.
456. Bashok (Posts: 36; Member since: 14 Dec 2010)
never broke a screen in my life.
458. pathmarkpolice (Posts: 102; Member since: 05 Feb 2009)
Never broke the screen of any of my phones and never had to fix any of them, I take care of all my electronics like I will take care of this new iPad when you give it to me!
459. endal69 (Posts: 1; Member since: 01 Aug 2012)
i been very lucky never broke a screen as long as its been working
460. aguilartx (Posts: 1; Member since: 01 Aug 2012)
Surpisingly,I have never broken the screen on any phone I have ever owned...knock on wood (not glass).
462. rejoicefulone (Posts: 13; Member since: 05 Apr 2011)
"Have you ever broken the screen of your phone and what did you do to fix it?" I have been lucky to have never broken a screen on any of my phones. Therefore I haven't needed to fix one.
463. Azarx (Posts: 3; Member since: 10 May 2012)
I broke my screen by accident and then I had the insurance removed the month before. I thought it wont happen to me. Well it did and I had to wait two weeks and 100 dollars later to replace it through a third party retailer.
464. Lakers24 (Posts: 8; Member since: 08 Dec 2011)
Never have and never will.
465. StrikeZero (Posts: 4; Member since: 07 Dec 2010)
No, I have never broke a screen on a phone.
466. animestar (Posts: 10; Member since: 09 Mar 2012)
Never broke a screen. But since I have only used pre-paid phones it would be cheeper for me to just buy another.
467. bvosburgh (Posts: 2; Member since: 27 Mar 2012)
My son has dropped and cracked my phone, but I still use it.
468. ayephoner (Posts: 850; Member since: 09 Jun 2009)
I cracked my screen on my galaxy nexus. It is just one crack about 2" long across the corner. I've just put a screen protector on it to keep it from spreading and to make it less noticeable. Were it worse I would have collected on my insurance plan.
469. n0ppw (Posts: 7; Member since: 30 Apr 2011)
I've been lucky. Never had a screen break or stop working. :-)
470. andregotnoswag (Posts: 1; Member since: 01 Aug 2012)
Yes i broke the screen of my iPhone. I ordered the screen myself with the tool kit and took apart my iPhone and replaced it myself.
471. justawesome (Posts: 4; Member since: 24 Jul 2012)
yea it fell,so i went n bought a new one....... yupp
472. scorpeyun (Posts: 26; Member since: 18 May 2012)
No I've never broken a screen so haven't ever had to replace one!
473. kirbphone (Posts: 1; Member since: 01 Aug 2012)
I shattered my screen to the point of shards of glass falling off. I did what most sane people would do and told my cellphone company to upgrade me. They approved an early upgrade and I got a new phone. No kit needed, only needed to sign my life away for another 2 years.
474. tunercar (Posts: 2; Member since: 01 Aug 2012)
Yep, during a break up she grabbed my phone and slammed it on the ground... poor HTC my touch 4g ....
475. Willverine (Posts: 2; Member since: 25 Jul 2012)
Not a single broken screen, and hopefully never will
476. godzillagtr34 (Posts: 12; Member since: 27 Feb 2012)
Has not happened cuz I am very carefully and if it did I would deal with it till couldn't stand it then use my phone insurance and replace it
477. ez31k (Posts: 45; Member since: 10 Jan 2012)
Yes, I ended up selling it on ebay....

You can actually get fairly advanced with some of the drawing operations that are possible with the canvas. In fact, the canvas lets you draw Bezier and quadratic curves. The way curves are drawn is in the case of Bezier curves, there is a starting context point, and an end point that uses two what are called control points to determine how the curve is drawn. Quadratic curves are similar. They use a start point, but they only have one control point and one endpoint.
So Bezier curves because of those two control points, they let you draw curves that are slightly more complex. So let's take a look at each one. The Bezier curve has a starting point, which is right here, the context point. That's the end point right there. And there are these two control points. These two control points control how the line curves towards the control point in each case. So you can see that because this end point is close to its control point, the curve is a little bit different over here than it is over here.
And for quadratic curves there's only one control point. So you set the context point, set the control point, and the end point and you can see that the curve is slightly less complex than what you get with Bezier curves. So the functions for drawing these curves are right here. So like other paths, you first use the moveTo function, which we saw when we learned how to draw lines in a previous movie. So you move to a pen location, and then you call bezierCurveTo, and then you supply a series of points. cx and cy represent the control points.
So this is the first control point, this is the second control point, and then this is the end point. It's similar for quadraticCurveTo: you use moveTo to move to a start point, and then you supply a control point and an ending point. So let's take a look at this in a real live example. So here I am in the code editor, and I've got my curves section right here of my snippets. So let's open up an example file, and what we're going to open up is curves_start.
This is the starting point for our curves example. So I'm going to go and copy the first example here. So we'll pick up the stroke and lineWidth properties, and we will call this right here, and we'll paste this in and save. All right, let's take a look at how this looks in the browser. We should have a Bezier curve that's 5 pixels wide and blue; sure enough, we do. Now that's pretty cool, but we can make it a little bit more instructive to actually see where the control points are.
So let's go back to the code, and we'll go back to the snippets. And what we're going to do now is make the control points visible. So we'll copy and we'll paste this code in. So what we have here now is a full example. So we call beginPath, like we do with all paths. We move it to a location. Then we call the bezierCurveTo, and we supply a whole bunch of points that determine how the Bezier curve is drawn. And then we call stroke to actually fill it in. And to make the control points visible, we're going to define a strokeStyle that's 25% opacity of black with a pixel width of 1.
And then we're going to simply call moveTo and lineTo. And if you look, we're basically going to line-to each one of the control point locations, so that we can see what effect the control points have on each one of the points on the Bezier curve. So let's save and let's refresh, and you can see that these are where the control points are up here now, and we can actually change the control points. So what we can do is change that one to say 300, and that's this guy here. So let's save.
Let's refresh. You can see the effect of moving the control point to no location. So there is the curve. You can see that the curve is being affected by these control points. So now, let's do a quadratic curve. Same idea. We're going to take the curve and the control points, copy, and we're going to come out of here and paste those in.
So now in this case, we have a green line that's five pixels wide and just like with all paths, we begin the path. We move to the starting location, and then we call quadraticCurveTo, and we supply the necessary points there. There is the control point, there's the ending point, and we call stroke to make the curve visible. And then we have some instruction code right here that makes the control point visible. So let's save. Let's refresh.
You can see that now here's our quadratic curve, and there's the control point up there, and we can play with that a little bit. So it starts out at 400, 200--that's the starting point--and then the curve goes straight up from there. So let's actually move that one over a little bit, to 500 say, and we'll change the instruction code as well, and we'll refresh. You can see that by moving the control point, that affects the curve. In this example, we've seen how to draw curves using Bezier and quadratic math, and we've seen how changing the control points changes how the curves are drawn.

Sometimes the kids just want a veggie dog and some fries (and sometimes I just don't feel like cooking much else). But, let's face it: veggie dogs really aren't that great. So, I tried to dress mine up a bit to make things more interesting. My deepest apologies to Mexican cuisine.
First, I made the hot dog buns (variation 3) from Peter Reinhart's The Bread Baker's Apprentice. They were totally awesome. Next, I roasted a red pepper and a jalapeno pepper on the grill. I skinned, seeded, and chopped them. The final hot dog had the peppers, chopped tomatoes, onions, and avocado, and some salsa. Not bad for a hot dog.
The other dog you see in the picture has vegenaise, mustard, onions, and sauerkraut. Mmmm.

When a project is big, you need a lot of coverage to show it. This video for an international audience doesn't have a narration. The images tell the story. It starts with a compressed time lapse of the installation a modular heat recovery steam generator. The time lapse was shot from multiple locations rather than a static shot to capture the most action. The balance of the video shows the work it took to accomplish the feat in just a week. It has been used in trade shows and business meetings worldwide. This video won an ADDY award for cinematography.

Rich Peverley came frightfully close to death Monday night. Thanks to quick action by the Dallas Stars medical staff, the 31-year-old NHL player survived.
Six minutes, 23 seconds into the first period in a game against the Columbus Blue Jackets, Peverley collapsed on the Stars bench. The former South Carolina Stingrays player went into full cardiac arrest.
According to Dr. Gil Salazar of UT Southwestern Hospitals, the medical staff responded quickly. They started chest compressions, placed an IV, provided oxygen and utilized a defibrillator. Peverley, who underwent a procedure at the beginning of the season for an irregular heartbeat, regained consciousness in the stadium and was quickly taken to a hospital.
The Dallas Stars were prepared. If a similar cardiac event had occurred at a youth hockey game, or during an adult recreation league soccer game, would the athlete have survived?
Teams of every sport, age and skill level should remember four points from Peverley's incident to avoid tragedy.
Sports facilities should have a defibrillator on site. While sudden death in sports is not common, it can occur. Estimates of the incidence of sudden cardiac death during sports range from 1 in 25,000 to 1 in 200,000 athletes.
Early use of a defibrillator is thought to be the best determinant of survival after out-of-hospital cardiac arrest. Survival rates drop 7 to 10 percent with every minute that defibrillation is delayed. The 15 or 20 minutes spent waiting for paramedics to arrive might prove to be too long.
South Carolina Stingrays president Rob Concannon said the ECHL requires all teams to have defibrillators on site for every game. Cocannon said the league has been in contact with teams to make sure they have a protocol in place for emergencies situations like the one that happened with Peverley.
"I think it was a wake-up call for all the leagues around the country, NHL, AHL, ECHL, the college level and for USA Hockey," Concannon said. "We have great doctors at the North Charleston Coliseum who have a plan in place."
Athletic trainers should be present. Professional and college sports usually have doctors on site for games, but physicians rarely cover games at other levels in sports other than football.
Athletic trainers are qualified medical professionals critical to the care of athletes. They are trained in the evaluation and management of injuries and medical illnesses. In an emergency, they can start resuscitation and stabilize the athlete until paramedics arrive to transport the athlete to a nearby hospital. All schools and teams should work to have athletic trainer coverage.
Emergency plan
Before a serious injury or medical event occurs, outline a plan for coaches, athletic trainers and others to quickly and effectively react. Ensure that the ability to communicate with emergency medical services and hospitals is available, and know who will initiate that contact. Know where the defibrillator and other medical supplies are. Determine the quickest way that an ambulance can get onto the field. These details should be worked out before the season starts, and everyone involved with the team should know the plan.
Physical exam
Every athlete should get a pre-participation physical exam. High school and college athletes are required to get physicals. A young adult who plays men's league baseball might not have seen a doctor for years. He might not know that he has a risky heart condition.
For instance, hypertrophic cardiomyopathy is the most common cause of sudden cardiac death in athletes. Some people have symptoms like shortness of breath, chest pain or feelings of a racing heart. Often, though, sudden death is the first manifestation of an athlete's heart condition. While the detection of many conditions requires more advanced testing, a routine physical exam is at least a start and probably worthwhile for all athletes.
After Peverley's collapse, Stars coach Lindy Ruff admitted to reporters that he was scared. "If it wasn't for our doctors and all the members (of the training staff) reacting so quickly, I could be standing here with a different story. They were there ASAP. It's an absolute marvel after what he went through." Peverley will undergo testing this week to determine if and when he can return to the ice.
In an instant, Rich Peverley's life was at stake, and the Dallas Stars were ready. Hopefully this event will serve as a reminder that all teams need to prepare now for a medical emergency.

Häagen-Dazs, Ben & Jerry's, and Target's Archer Farms Top in Ice Cream Test
Target's chocolate offers superior flavor at a fraction of the cost
YONKERS, NY — There's nothing better than indulging in a bowl of ice cream on a hot summer day. And although fancy flavors fill the freezers at the local market, chocolate and vanilla are still the nation's favorite ice creams. Consumer Reports trained testers tried 13 vanillas and 11 chocolates with varying amounts of fat, and found seven Excellent choices.
Six of the seven ice creams Rated Excellent by Consumer Reports are Häagen-Dazs and Ben & Jerry's; the seventh is from Archer Farms (Target), which offers a tasty alternative for about a third of the price of the other Excellent choices. All are dense and creamy, with strong, high-quality flavors. The full results are available in the July issue of Consumer Reports and online at www.ConsumerReports.org.
Häagen-Dazs Vanilla Bean ($1.13 per ½ cup serving) topped the list of vanillas, for having a big dairy and real vanilla taste. It comes at a price, though, in the amount of 270 calories and 17 grams of fat per serving. Ben & Jerry's Vanilla ($0.97 per serving) and Häagen-Dazs Five Vanilla Bean ($1.13 per serving) took the other vanilla top spots. Ben & Jerry's has 230 calories and 14 grams of fat, while the Five Vanilla Bean has 220 calories and 11 grams of fat.
Among the Excellent chocolates, testers found that Archer Farms Belgian ($0.33 per serving) has an intense, complex chocolate flavor enhanced by bits of dark chocolate. It has 230 calories and 14 grams of fat per serving.
Both Häagen-Dazs chocolates have a big dairy flavor. Häagen-Dazs Five Milk Chocolate ($1.11 per serving) has 220 calories and 12 grams of fat, while Haagen-Dazs regular chocolate ($1.16 per serving) has 260 calories and 17 grams of fat. Ben & Jerry's ($1.02) has a strong chocolate flavor but is a touch icy, according to testers, and has 250 calories and 14 grams of fat.
Lower-rated ice creams are less creamy and less flavorful, with flaws such as an artificial taste or gumminess. According to Consumer Reports testers, it seems to be harder to make a high-quality vanilla ice cream than a high-quality chocolate. The chocolate may help mask mistakes. In fact, 10 of the 11 chocolate ice creams tested are Recommended.
The tastiness of the top-rated ice creams comes at a cost—they are full of calories and fat. For a special treat, try one of the top-rated varieties. For a more healthful choice, try a light-or fat-free ice cream, which has fewer calories and less fat.
Most top rated ice creams are also a bit pricey, 97 cents to $1.16 per serving. For a less expensive alternative, try Archer Farms Belgian Chocolate or Walmart's Great Value chocolate ($0.23 per serving). Both are CR Best Buys and offer excellent or very good quality at a great price.

"It isn't often an artist seems to materialise from nowhere with a sound so disinterested in following any conventional rules that it inspires equal measures bafflement and astonishment, but in 2012, with the release of the 'Unknown Vectors' EP, Sd Laika did just that. Taking the already alien sounds of grime music as a starting off point and abrasively twisting them into something even more unknowable, Laika had developed a sound that defied any easy categorization. After 'Unknown Vectors' Sd Laika became something of a mystery, disappearing from the scene altogether, leaving behind him a small but hardcore cult fanbase convinced they'd glimpsed something very special in those 5 tracks. It was only in 2013 when Tri Angle approached Sd Laika that a new record began to take shape. This record would end up consisting of songs Sd Laika had recorded in 2011 and 2012, songs he'd convinced himself would never see the light of day. For various reasons it looked likely 'Unknown Vectors' would wind up being Laika's one and only ever release, which is why the label are so excited (and as huge fans, relieved) to announce the release of his debut album 'That's Harakiri'. Sitting somewhere between the current wave of leftfield abstract analogue techno, the swing of UK funky and darkness of grime, 'That's Harakiri' is an intense, disorientating, out-there listen."

YKYP when...
You are at a movie theatre surrounded by all the junk food and you think, "hmm, pot roast sounds awesome right now!" (happened today)
You don't feel the least bit guilty sleeping in when you can- sleep good, alarm clock bad
You get genuinely excited when someone mentions a new butcher shop across town that you have to go check out. (I'm going next week!)
Someone tells you they are vegetarian/vegan/whatever and you just nod your head and think to yourself "yes, more meat for me!"
You realize that you have single-handedly introduced your stubborn, vegetable-hating SO to more kinds of veggies in the last month than he has had in the last 30+ years. And then his family congratulates you on your accomplishment
You realize your old idea of cooking was a pot of spaghetti, and now you are busting out delicious, real meals every day
You try to eat a candy bar and you spit it out because the "chocolate" tastes nasty (Butterfinger, for the record)
You actually climb a tree, just because it was there and you can
YKYPW... You see Sainsburys has Pork roast with crackling on sale 50% off and then marked down to half that (close to sell by date) & practically clear the shelf while cackling gleefully...
Lady in the checkout line behind me looked absolutely horrified at my pile of pork & veggies
Mmmmm pulled pork & crackling!
Every time I hear the dirty word 'exercise', I wash my mouth out with chocolate.

SANTA BARBARA - A rosary service will be held tonight for Simon Chavez at Our Lady of Sorrows Catholic Church. 22-year-old Chavez was killed by a hit and run driver while walking along Highway 101 in Santa Barbara on January 15th. He was found on the southbound lanes of the freeway near the Castillo Street off-ramp. Officers believe the car involved is a 2010 to 2013 white Hyundai Tucson. The vehicle likely has left front and left side damage. The driver's side mirror and part of the bumper were left at the scene. Chavez graduated from Santa Barbara High School in 2008 and coached both the freshmen and junior varsity baseball teams at his alma mater. He took this past fall off to go back to school. He was working towards earning a degree to become a full time teacher and coach. Tonight's rosary begins at 7:30 p.m. A funeral mass will be held tomorrow at 10 a.m. The public is invited to attend. If you have any information about the accident, contact the CHP.

State Street woman denies growing potSeptember 19,2013By Josh O'Gorman
Staff Writer
A Rutland woman denied charges she was growing marijuana in her State Street home.
Tammy Duquette, 50, pleaded innocent in Rutland criminal court Monday to a felony charge of cultivating three or more pot plants, which carries a maximum penalty of three years in prison and a $10,000 fine.
According to an affidavit filed with the court, in late July, state police received a tip of a grow operation at 182 State St. When police arrived, they met Duquette outside, who reportedly told police she had three pot plants inside, records state.
Affidavits state Duquette allowed police to search her residence, and the search revealed a grow operation – including lights, timers, plant food and fertilizer – with 17 plants.
"While inside this room Duquette advised me that she was responsible for growing the marijuana plants and that she was not very good at it," Sate Police Detective Cpl. David LaChance wrote in his affidavit. "She advised she had been growing the marijuana plants for her own used (sic) and was not selling any of the marijuana."MORE IN This Just InMONTPELIER After sitting on the Vermont Supreme Court for nearly 30 years, Justice John Dooley...

Bournemouth Reform Synagogue is holding a special general meeting on Sunday in an effort to stave off the threat of a breakaway group within the 500-strong community.
Disaffected members cite concern at the shul's financial management, infighting among the synagogue council and unhappiness with minister, Rabbi Neal Amswych. It is claimed that 70 people are prepared to support alternative High Holy-Day services at the town's Carrington House Hotel for members who do not want to attend the synagogue.
Jeffrey Sheaf — who is tonight holding an erev Shabbat service at his home for two dozen people — alleged that the shul "is spending more than our income. There are no constraints on spending."
Nathan Roseman, a Bournemouth Reform member for 25 years, said that although a breakaway group had not been established, "a choice of service is to be offered to those who would not plan to attend the synagogue. There is a lot of disaffection within the community." He claimed that elements of the old shul council had refused to accept newly-elected council members.
However, he was hoping for reconciliation — "I want our community to get back to where it was four years ago." It was in 2005 that Rabbi Amswych replaced the long-serving Rabbi David Soetendorp.
Bournemouth Reform chairman Ron Rosenfeld denies that the shul is in deficit and believes Sunday's meeting will allow the community "to get back on track. I understand there is a possibility of a group setting up. But I don't know why they might be doing this."
He added that "Rabbi Amswych is very popular with the majority of members. People were comfortable with Rabbi Soetendorp. A number of our members have difficulty in dealing with change."
Mr Rosenfeld also highlighted the "invaluable" contribution of Rabbi Amswych's wife, Rabbi Jenny Amswych, who serves the community on a part-time basis.
Noting that a number of council members had recently resigned, he said it would be "helpful to have a council of people who are committed to serving their community".
No approach has been made to Reform Judaism about setting up an alternative congregation in the area. The movement's director of synagogue services Mike Frankl said the Bournemouth shul had considerable cash reserves. It was expected that a new council would be elected at Sunday's meeting and the movement "will support the new trustees in the same way it supports all other Reform synagogue councils".

Associated Press
PARIS (AP) -- Saint-Etienne rallied past Reims 3-1 for its second straight win in the French league on Sunday while Marseille lost 2-0 to Montpellier.
Reims opened the scoring with an own goal from Saint-Etienne defender Loic Perrin in the 27th minute. However, Saint-Etienne winger Max-Alain Gradel leveled by curling a free kick into the top corner in the 61st and Kevin Monnet-Paquet headed in a cross from striker Mevlut Erding in the 71st for a 2-1 lead. Erding sealed the win from close range in the 81st.
Saint-Etienne has six points from two games after winning 2-0 at Guingamp last weekend.
At Stade Velodrome, Montpellier winger Anthony Mounier beat the offside trap to score with a lob in the 19th. He set up the second goal with a low cross converted by Morgan Samson in the 69th.
Marseille's players looked uncomfortable in the unorthodox 3-3-3-1 system imposed by Argentine coach Marcelo Bielsa, showing again their defensive frailties after drawing 3-3 with Bastia in the opening round.
"There was something missing today to make it," Marseille winger Romain Alessandrini said. "We have to react. We don't have the right to lose those matches, especially at home."
Monaco played Bordeaux later Sunday.
On Saturday, it was: Paris Saint-Germain 2, Bastia 0; Lens 0, Guingamp 1; Lorient 0, Nice 0; Metz 1, Nantes 1; Rennes 6, Evian 2; and Toulouse 2, Lyon 1.
Lille edged Caen 1-0 on Friday.

Code from when I was young and stupid and needed the money
We have had 2 interns at work for the past few weeks and one of the tasks we gave them was to implement Quicksort. This got me to thinking about my youth and some of the code I wrote back then. I've decided to post it.
Programming is my hobby as well as my job
Shortly after moving to Germany in 2007, one of the first things I did was to get myself a new computer. I had moved in with my then girlfriend (now wife) and one of the things she had to trouble adjusting to was the fact that I could work on code for 8 hours a day and then come home and want to do the same thing.
This is a sentiment that not only comes from her but also from many other people I've met. I tried to explain to them with an analogy and I think I've finally found one that fits and people seem to accept.
The analogy is a car mechanic. How many car mechanics do you know that don't have their own personal hobby project going on at home? As a matter of fact, I think I would find it strange if I asked a mechanic what he does for his hobbies and he proceeded to tell me that he works 9 to 5 and after that he doesn't want to have anything to do with cars.
For some reason the world doesn't see computer programmers as being similar to car mechanics in this regard. Wanting to tinker with computers after working for 8 hours with them seems foreign to most people. I love what I do and I just happen to get paid to do something that I love. Why is that so hard to understand?
This is the reason why I and a few of my colleagues started the SOLP .NET User Group. We have our day jobs but we still want more. If you feel similar and live in the Soest / Lippstadt area, please feel free to join us.
All the cool kids are static
Seems like all the cool kids these days have converted their websites to completely static ones. I'm looking at you Mr. Haacked. I thought this was a pretty cool idea and a chance to really refresh my website so I decided to take a stab at it. It's currently a work in progress.
I ended up writing my own tool I call Gatsby to do it. I also set up the whole deploy process myself involving pushing to Github which then informs my website to pull from the Github repository. Hopefully that will be a blog post in the not too distance future.
Sorry for any inconvenience.

Ubuntu Cinamon for a slightly more Windows like interface
With all the recent movements in the Linux community with Unity and Gnome 3, I've been looking for a interface that better suits me. I don't really need any fancy effects, I just want something simple. I recently discovered Cinamon, which I think is originally from Linux Mint. After just a few minutes of using it, I knew this was my new interface. I used the following commands to get Ubuntu to the state shown in the picture above:
Install Cinamon:
- sudo add-apt-repository ppa:merlwiz79/cinnamon-ppa
- sudo apt-get update && sudo apt-get install cinnamon-session cinnamon
Remove Global Menu:
- sudo apt-get autoremove appmenu-gtk appmenu-gtk3 appmenu-qt
Remove Global Menu:
- sudo apt-get autoremove appmenu-gtk appmenu-gtk3 appmenu-qt
Move Window Buttons to Right:
- gconftool-2 —set /apps/metacity/general/button_layout —type string "menu:minimize,maximize,close"
Remove Overlay Scrollbar:

I've moved back to Github
I used to have a Github account and later eventually deleted it. I felt Mercurial was a superior source control system and so I wanted to stick with that. At work we switched to using git. And that's when I discovered gitextensions.
Gitextensions in my opinion makes git usable for me on Windows. My only real complaint with git was that there wasn't a good gui for it on Windows. Git also has a few features that I can definitely say are superior to Mercurial, fast-forwarding for instance.
I've moved most of my open source code over to Github as of now. There are some things that I haven't moved and probably will never move but will remain on Codeplex.
Switching from Git to Mercurial
I've decided to make the switch from using git to Mercurial. Git's syntax to me is much more complicated than it needs to be and Mercurial seems to be more my style. I find it's much easier to find out how to do things with Mercurial and to be honest, I use about 10% of the functionality in either git or Mercurial.
This also means I'll be transitioning Snowball to Codeplex I think. I'll be moving it away from GitHub for sure just not 100% sure where.
Using git-gui with Cygwin on Windows 7
I've started using git via cygwin and was running into trouble trying to pin it to my taskbar in Windows 7.
First I created a .bat file in the c:\cygwin folder which launches the app standalone:
@echo off
chdir C:\cygwin\bin
start run.exe git gui
You can change paths accordingly. Now run the batch file and pin the program to the taskbar. You'll notice after you close the app, the icon changes and it won't launch again.
Right click on the shortcut while holding shift and choose properties. Change the target to the batch file we wrote. You can change the icon to the git-gui icon by pointing the shortcut icon to "C:\cygwin\usr\share\git-gui\lib\git-gui.ico".
Now if you click on the icon, the git-gui app should start up. Kill your explorer.exe in task manager and restart. If the icon is still the genie lamp, you'll need to clear your icon cache to get the icon to look right. Credit for that from here. Kill your explorer.exe again and while explorer is gone, start cmd.exe. From there enter the following commands:
CD /d %userprofile%\AppData\Local
DEL IconCache.db /a
After that your icon should be there as you want.

Just a decade ago, the following suggestion would earn you a private corner in a padded room, where the main source of amusement would have been an array of hat pins designed to be pushed through your frontal lobe.
But here goes nothing:
In the foreseeable future, the NCAA — the autocratic institution that runs a $6 billion annual business by exploiting an unpaid labor force — is going to be neutered or even obsolete.
Consider what has happened in the past month alone:
There is seismic movement in the Ed O'Bannon licensing case, as gaming giant EA Sports settled for a reported $40 million and ceased publication of its 2014 NCAA football game — leaving the NCAA as the last defendant, with a loss at trial (or even a settlement) ending the amateur model as we know it.
The public perception veered sharply at College Station, where we learned that Johnny Manziel can't make a buck on his own autograph without facing sanctions, while his school is using the profits from his talent to slap a $450 million addition on its football stadium.
The class-action suit against the NCAA, alleging that it failed to protect athletes from concussions, is moving forward, in the wake of the NFL suit that was settled for $765 million.
There is legislation being passed on the state level, such as the bill Gov. Jerry Brown signed in California protecting athletes from injury and from having their scholarships pulled, and there is similar legislation on the federal level currently in debate.
And last weekend, there was another movement afoot, one that can turn into an avalanche after it gets some media attention. It's called All Players United, which began with 28 players from some major programs (Northwestern, Georgia, Georgia Tech) making a powerful statement simply by writing "APU" on their gear.
"Its message is about the need for NCAA reform, and we feel the players need to be part of the conversation," said Ramogi Huma, president of the National College Players Association, the nonprofit advocacy group for college athletes. "For the first weekend, it could not have gone better: The number of players who stood up to spread the message are small, but we're optimistic it's going to explode. We have a lot of weekends to go."
The list of concerns can be found in detail at NCPAnow.org, but here are the broad strokes of the APU movement: It seeks support for the O'Bannon suit and the concussion suit against the NCAA; guaranteed scholarship renewals for injured players, who are often discarded; a portion of the $1 billion in new TV revenue to guarantee health protections for athletes; the establishment of an educational fund to increase graduation rates; and a call for unity among those seeking reform.
One of the leaders of the movement, Northwestern quarterback Kain Colter, calls APU "a sign of players coming together all over the nation — not just football players, but basketball players, tennis players — to have our opinions heard and our needs met."
The NCAA's response was tepid, stating that it "supports open and civil debate" on these issues. You can debate which issue is the most urgent, but clearly anything related to sharing the revenue is going to get NCAA types very frothy.
As usual, Big Ten commissioner Jim Delany doubled down on the bluster the other day, asserting that "If (student-athletes) are not comfortable and want to monetize, let the minor leagues flourish. Train at IMG, get agents to invest in your body, get agents to invest in your likeness. But don't come here and say, 'We want to be paid $25,000 or $50,000.' Go to the NBA and get it. Go to the NFL and get it. Don't ask us about what we've been doing."
In other words, the most powerful man in the cartel is suggesting, It's our oligarchy, thank you, and we aren't serious about that open and civil debate.
Of course, if a kid has issues with the NCAA business model, Delany's pals own his body, his name, his likeness and the company store for at least a few years before he can turn pro anyway.
And yes, the student-athlete still pays for his own insurance, still risks losing his scholarship every year, and still often lives in poverty.
As Walter Byers, the NCAA's first executive director, once wrote, years after he grew a conscience, "College amateurism is not a moral issue; it is an economic camouflage for monopoly practices."
Maybe you won't embrace everything about APU. Your favorite team may not be involved, either — Rutgers players, for example, are utterly oblivious. But you should look into it.
This may not be Libya or Egypt, but when a young, motivated, predominantly poor and socially connected group of teenagers decides to rally around a cause, you shouldn't doubt that it can knock down empires.
And don't doubt that APU is a galvanizing concept.
Because the winds — and zeitgeist — are shifting.
"It could be the end of the NCAA as we know it," Huma said, repeating our premise. "I think schools still want to wrap themselves in the NCAA label, because it has still enabled them to receive billions in tax-free revenue. And obviously schools with power and money want more power and money. I just don't think NCAA will have the same authority it has now, and that's a good start."
