Behavior-driven development is being recognized as the Next Big Thing in sustainable development and expectation management. Unfortunately, those of us developing complex JavaScript libraries find ourselves without the facilities for BDD. T.J. VanSlyke surveys the JavaScript test harnesses available and offers his solutions for integrating JavaScript testing into your daily workflow.
Rails Ajax helpers are easy to use but have one glaring problem: the Javascript they produce is often totally inaccessible and in any case obtrusive and hard to maintain when your application grows in size. In this tutorial, Dan Webb and Jarkko Laine teach you how building accessible and unobtrusive Ajax applications on top of Rails can be both as easy and as fast as sticking to the old methods.
This session will focus on the performance lessons learned during the development of a developer collaboration web application.
You have a webiste. You provide a valuable service and want to start raking in the dough. What are your options? This session will provide you with all you need to know to add payment processing to your site. ActiveMerchant provides interface to many credit card gateways and allows consistent branding. This solution will be contrasted to others such as PayPal and Amazon Payments.

Designing RESTful systems in Rails carries many benefits. It is not a problem-free approach, however; there are accessibility issues with the standard conventions, and some functions are more difficult to map to resources than others. In this session, we'll look at solutions for these (and other) problems that arise when you take REST beyond the standard examples.

Have you ever built a Rails application, only to have the client ask for a blog right before release? With Rails, it's easy to build a single app that does everything, but it's unreasonably difficult to combine two existing projects. In this tutorial, you'll learn how to do just that, by creating and using resourceful plugins - they're all you need to integrate distinct applications.
Click to Globalize is a plugin to translate your interfaces in place.

Deploying and monitoring a Rails application is not a trivial task, especially for people coming from the Java or PHP world. This tutorial will introduce the different setup and deployment options available to Rails developers. Covered topics will include JRuby, Mongrel, Capistrano and Webistrano among other monitoring and deployment best practices.
... Or why designers should start to understand code and developers should start to sketch and use design methods like Occams's razor.
When we design web or mobile applications we have to design user interaction. Developers and designers have to work closely together to create user interfaces with great usability and stunning overall user experience.

MapReduce is the distributed processing algorithm that powers Google. EC2 offers on-demand computing. MapReduce can be implemented using Ruby and EC2, providing processing power to Rails applications for a variety of purposes. This talk will cover MapReduce, a Ruby-based implementation using EC2, and how your Rails application may or may not benefit from MapReduce.
Replacing an old system, which has been in use for several years, is never an easy task. In our talk we will show you how we used Rails and other open source technologies to build a new system which, in our view, surpasses the old system in both functionality and usability.
The dynamic nature of Ruby allows us to extend the language
itself. However, with great power comes great responsibility:
We should design our our extensions to be reusable,
and to play well with others.
This talk shows Ruby's extension mechanisms from the meta level
to hook methods and method extensions, and gives guidelines what
to keep in mind when extending both Ruby and Rails.

Fixing vulnerabilities does not mean your Rails app is secure: Applications have their own security objectives, which are as hard to nail down as other requirements. Classical security engineering can lead to an intrusion of waterfall thinking. We discuss how to elicit
actual security requirements in a small-to-medium enterprise and how to map these into actionable elements of a Rails app.

A discussion of the growing development area that lies in between the front and back ends of web applications using real code examples of advanced user interface design and construction. From Lowpro behaviors to block-accepting helpers and interface abstraction, the field for 'Mid-End' developers is coming into its own right.
Rails app getting too large? Unit tests taking too long to run? Lost in a maze of twisty little model classes, all alike?
In this presentation, we'll discuss how you can factor a single large application into multiple co-operating Rails apps and yet have them appear to the user as a single coherent whole.
Juggernaut offers a lightweight and flexible solution to server push using a Flash client to provide real-time HTML and JavaScript updates to connected clients. This talk will detail the simplest ways to begin using Juggernaut to provide some simple real-time updates for a chat application.

Ruby is the revenge of the Smalltalkers. Not since Smalltalk has a language had such powerful meta-programming facilities. While this may seem like a minor feature, it turns out that surgical meta-programming allows solutions to problems that are clearer, more concise, more maintainable, and take orders of magnitudes fewer lines of code.
Denormalization of data can ease the pressure when your queries get out of hand, but it shouldn't be handled as an after-thought. Creating first-class representations of your denormalized data makes it easy to keep data in sync and developers on the same page.
Online applications have one major drawback when you are offline: They simply do not work. With Google Gears / AIR it is possible to add offline support to your application and make it fully functional while in the plane or somewhere in the wild. This is demonstrated with the mind mapping application "MindMeister".
GlassFish is an open-source, production-quality and Java EE 5 compatible application server. This talk describes how GlassFish provides a robust development & deployment platform for Rails applications. It also describes design patterns followed by the GlassFish community for successful Rails deployment.
Using computer science, you can measure application quality based on an assortment of criteria - likewise for Ruby on Rails applications. Learn about gems and methods for measuring code coverage, cyclomatic complexity, coupling, cohesion, and how you can use them to improve your Ruby on Rails applications.
This year, I co-organised Scotland on Rails - the first regional Ruby/Rails conference in the UK. We attracted 20 speakers from all over the world - both local developers, and more famous names (including Koz, Jim Weirich, Bruce Williams, and David A Black) and, at time of writing roughly 70 attendees.
This session will cover some of the good, bad and ugly of running a regional conference.
Rails' RESTful routing facility provides developers with conventions for naming controllers and controller methods. However, Rails fails to keep up the RESTful momentum beyond controllers. This presentation is about all the good things that happen when picking up where Rails left off and establishing resource-oriented conventions for helper names and CSS classes.
Using the convention-over-configuration paradigma to create the scaffolding of an application in a few seconds from the database structure, i.e. generate migrations, models (including relations), controllers, streamlined configuration modules and template starting the schema.rb.
This talk will focus on the security of the Ruby on Rails Web Framework. Some do's and don'ts will be presented along with security best practices for common attacks like session fixation, XSS, SQL injection, and deployment weaknesses.
Getting started with background jobs should be really simple. With Workling, it is. When you've written your code, you can configure it to run over any number of backgrounding systems. I will show how Workling and Starling can be used to build a backgrounded addressbook crawler with an ajax progress indicator wich runs the worker code on a remote machine.
Once upon a time there was a browser, now there are many, and as developers we have to ensure our web applications run on them all (well most of them anyway!).
More and more web applications whether they be large social networking destinations to busy e-commerce sites are finding that video adds significant value while holding an audiences attention.
This talk will outline the various scalable video encoding, storage and serving architectures and show developers how to get around various common pitfalls.

Multilanguage support is a must for many European Rails applications. A group of developers from leading Rails I18n/L10n plugin solutions have set the goal to make 2008 "the year of Rails I18n core support" by agreeing on a common api and implementing it in collaboration with the Rails core team. This session will give a breakdown of the future of I18n/L10n support in Ruby on Rails.
jQuery is a Rapid-Development JavaScript Library. Rails is a Rapid-Development server-side framework. Together, they're a Rapid-Development powerhouse. Learn how to leverage jQuery to build tight, maintainable Ajax applications.
resources_controller is one of the plugins available for DRYing up RESTful controllers. I will talk about some of the RESTful patterns that emerged and their implementation. If you're interested in simplifying RESTful controllers, writing your own controller oriented plugins, or just want to know about resources_controller, then this talk is for you.

Treyarch may be preparing to unleash Black Ops 2 Buried zombies for PS3 and PC players early next month, but this week there is good reason to jump back into the Xbox 360 version of the game, thanks to a brand new title update. Launched earlier this week, Treyarch has now addressed a vast number of issues with the new Buried zombies map, likely to result in a brand new experience the next time you jump into a match with friends.
The update was introduced to the game on Tuesday, to coincide with the release of brand new Personalization packs for the game, one of which includes a pack-a-punch skin pack to use in Black Ops 2 multiplayer. While that seems to be getting a lot of attention, you should make note of the sheer amount of changes that Treyarch has made to Buried.
For example, a few fixes that we can see from the list include no more free passes over the mansion fence by using an 'invisible collision'. Another big fix that Treyarch has fixed, is the glitch which allowed players to position their buildables in the general store so they were free from zombie attack.
It basically looks like this is one big glitch fixing fest, as we've spotted that Treyarch has also fixed the rather popular bug where players could be immune from zombie attack by holding a claymore next to the mystery box, whilst looking 'downwards' at the same time – bad luck for those that never got to enjoy this one.
There's plenty more fixes to read through, so we suggest you take the time to study everything here if you are a regular player on Xbox 360. Tell us if you still have a problem with Buried zombies that hasn't been fixed.

The world population is growing geometrically and it is projected to be over 7 billion by 2020 (Obembe, 2009). It is however, pathetic to note that the developing world which is under pressure with the challenge of food insecurity, is contributing most to this increase (Pardey and Wright, 2002). This scenario obviously paints a bleak picture of the futures food security, especially in the developing countries, with Nigeria as a case study. Nigeria, a country with a population of 140 million people (NPC, 2006) with an annual budget running in excess of several trillions has several of her citizenry struggling with malnutrition. It becomes, therefore, imperative to source for cheaper but quality food crops laden with nutritive and mineral elements.
Legumes belong to the plant family Leguminosae. The legumes and grains families are by far the worlds most important sources of food. Grains supply starch while legumes which include bean, peas and alfalfa supply protein and fats (John, 2005). Nutritionally, legumes supply significant amount of energy, vitamins and minerals in addition to protein. They are 2-3 times richer in protein than cereal grain even some of these legumes are very rich in oil and they are mostly called oil seeds.
Pigeon pea [Cajanus cajan (L.) Millsp] is chiefly grown in India where it is probably originated and extensively cultivated in Africa and other warm climate areas and which is usually grown for its seeds which is a popular food. Pigeon pea is a useful fallow and fodder plant with edible seeds doing best on medium good soils (Philip, 2002). Cowpea [Vigna unguiculata (L.) Walp] on the other hand, is a good source of dietary protein for human consumption and of animal feed in the tropics, especially in Africa, Brazil and India. It thrives well in hotter more arid climates and more infertile soils than other food legume crops due to its symbiotic nitrogen fixing abilities which helps in maintaining soil fertility in peasant cropping systems. Over 65% of the cowpea crop is produced in Africa; Nigeria and Niger producing 50% of the world supply. The United States is the only developed country producing large amount of cowpea (Henshaw, 2008).
The landraces of these crops are increasingly threatened by extinction (Kiu et al., 2001) and urgent measures needed to be taken to conserve them. The nutritive advantage of these crops fundamentally is the area of much interest since the poorer sections of Sub-Saharan Africans are suffering from mal-nutrition. However, besides being high in protein, high adaptability and drought-tolerant, pigeon pea and cowpeas provide many benefits to resource poor farmers including fuel, fodder, improved soil fertility and control of soil erosion (Okaka et al., 2002). Despite this, pigeon peas and cowpeas landraces are neglected crops in terms of research.
Though there is paucity of information regarding so many of these landraces, some researchers had reported the nutritive value of some grain legumes (Chinma et al., 2008; Ene-Obong, 2005; Siddhraju et al., 2001). Therefore, to achieve sufficient food production in Nigeria, effort have to be intensified towards diversifying the economic base which in implication means partly, selecting, conserving and domesticating these under-exploited extinction threatened crops.
This study was, therefore, designed to evaluate the nutritional and anti-nutritional composition of these selected pulses as indices for conservation and improvement.
Collection and preparation of samples: This study was conducted in October, 2010. Seeds of Olaudi, Akidi, Brown Fiofioand White Fiofio were purchased from local farmers in Kogi State, while IT88D-867-11 (standard) was obtained from International Institute of Tropical Agriculture (IITA), Ibadan, Nigeria. Extraneous matter such as unhealthy seed, infected seed, sand and chaff were removed from the samples. The seeds were dehulled with water at room temperature (27°C). The dehulled samples were sundried for 2 days and then dried at 70-80°C for 2 h in an oven (Astell Hearson type). Finally, the dried dehulled samples were pulverized using an electric blender (Model 4250 Braun, Germany) and sieved to a particle size of 1 mm and stored in dissector for analysis.
Determination of proximate composition: The protein content was determined using micro kjeldhal method (Nx6.25) and the carbohydrate content was determined by the difference obtained after subtracting the total organic nitrogen, protein, lipid, ash, fibre, from the total dry matter and expressing as percentage AOAC (2005). The gross food energy (caloric value) was estimated by multiplying the crude protein, crude fat and total carbohydrate by at water factors 4, 9 (Okwu, 2006).
Toxicant analysis: Hydrocyanic acid (HCN) was estimated by the alkaline titration method. For HCN determination, alkaline sample solution was titrated with standard 0.02 N AgNO3 to a permanent turbid KI indicator end point (1 mL of 0.02 N AgNO3 = 1.08 mg HCN) (AOAC, 2000) Phytic acid was determined as iron precipitate with the assumption that, Iron: Phosphorus molecular ratio is 4:6 according to McCance and Widdowson (1953) (The molecular formula of Phytic acid is C6H18O24P6 with molecular mass of 660 g mol-1) while oxalate was determined according to Dye (1956). Oxalate determination involved three steps-digestion, oxalate precipitation and permanganate titration.
Determination of mineral composition: The ash of each sample was digested with 5 mL of 2 M HNO3 and heated to dryness on a heating mantle. The 5 mL of 2 M HNO3 was added again, heated to boil and filtered through a Whatman No. 1 filter paper into a 100 mL volumetric flask. The filtrate was made up with distilled water. Calcium, was determined using Jenway Digital Flame Photometer (PFP7 model) while other minerals apart from phosphorus were determined using Buck Scientific Atomic Absorption Spectrophotometer (BUCK 210VGP model). The Phosphorus in the sample filtrate was determined by using Vanadomolybdate reagent at 400 nm using colorimetric method (Colorimeter SP 20, Bausch and Lamb). Vitamin A and C were also estimated (AOAC, 2005).
Statistical analysis: Data obtained from the analyses were subjected to the Analysis of Variance (ANOVA) while significant means were separated using Least Significant Difference (LSD) test (Obi, 2002).
Generally, there were significant differences (p<0.05) in the proximate compositions of the screened pulses, except in the ash content which shows no significance among the pulses (p>0.05). The moisture content did not differ among the brown and white Fiofio, Olaudi and IT88D-867-11 but differed significantly from Akidi. Present results also revealed that there was no significant difference (p>0.05) in the protein contents of brown Fiofio, Akidi and IT88D-867-11 but differed slightly from white fiofio and Olaudi. Additionally, Olaudi had the highest protein content in its seeds. There was no significantly difference in the carbohydrate conent among brown Fiofio, Olaudi and Akidi but differed from white Fiofio and IT88D-867-11 (Table 1).
Results on the anti-nutritive contents show that there were significant differences (p<0.05) among the five sampled pulses. Akidi had the highest phytic acid level which was followed by IT88D-867-11. However, there was no significant difference (p>0.05) between white fiofio and olaudi. Brown fiofio had the least phytic content. There was no significant difference in the hydrocyanide content of akidi, olaudi and IT 888D-867-11. This component was highest in brown fiofio and least in white fiofio. The oxalate content was highest in Akidi (Table 2).
The mineral composition also differed remarkably in the screened pulses. However, comparing with IT88D-867-11, the landraces contained higher mineral elements. For the vitamins, IT88D-867-11 contained the highest level of Vitamin A but had the least Vitamin C (Table 3).
Interestingly, pigeon peas and cowpeas landraces are well adapted to tropical climates and insufficient protein of good quality is a limiting factor in developing countries. Adequate information is needed, especially on their nutritive potentials which will enhance their utilization in human diet. The protein content of these crops is of immense importance, other constituents, notwithstanding. Result obtained revealed that the protein content was high. However, this was higher than the range 15.52-20.74% DM reported for its close relative such as, Cassia hiruta (Vadivel and Janardhanan, 2000) and other Nigerian legumes, Afzelia Africana (Obun and Ayanwale, 2008). The result obtained is also comparable to the reports of Ingweye et al. (2010) on Senna obtusifolia, Parkia filicoidea and Mucuna utilis ( Bawa et al., 2007; Tuleun and Patrick, 2007). However, differences observed in this result with their other legumes obviously, could be attributed to genetic differences. Interestingly, the carbohydrate content agrees with caloric value as it is a major contributor to the energy value of food. It will therefore be a misconception to assume that these landraces are for the poorer sections of the population.
Phytic acid is often considered as an anti-nutrient because it forms insoluble complexes with minerals such as zinc, calcium, magnesium and iron. In the human gut, it acts by reducing the absorption of valuable vitamins and minerals such as niacin, calcium, iron, magnesium and zinc. The phytic acid level was low compared to the reports of Osman (2007) on raw sweet Lablab bean, Hisbiscus sabdraiffa (Yagoub et al., 2008), different varieties of Lablab beans (Abeke et al., 2008), M. obanensis (Umoren et al., 2005), raw mung bean seeds (Mubarak, 2005) and Ingweye et al. (2010) on Senna obtusifolia. According to Onomi et al. (2004), dietary intake of phytic acid at a level of 0.035 percent may protect against a fatty liver resulting from elevated hepatic lipogenesis. They observed that the effect of phytic acid on mineral absorption will only occur at 10 fold higher levels. The researchers even speculated that phytic acid may be considered more like a vitamin than an anti-nutrient. Present result showed that the phytic acid content in sampled pulses was higher than the figure reported by Onomi et al. (2004). However, this seeming high level reported may not pose health risk as it can be reduced through meticulous processing.
The Hydrocyanide (HCN) content in the present study showed that there were significant differences (p<0.05) in sampled screened. Interestingly, it was higher than the reports of Abeke et al. (2008) in L. purpureus bean. The level of anti-nutritional factors in the legumes sampled will not be a barrier to their utilization as they will either be reduced.
The mineral contents Ca, Mg, K and Fe were lower than those of Mung bean (Mubarak, 2005), some Nigerian cowpeas (Chinma et al., 2008) M. obanensis (Umoren et al., 2005; Elleuch et al., 2007), Soybean (Vasudevan and Sreekumari, 2007) but however, comparable with the report of Ene-Obong (2005).
IT88D-867-11 variety had the highest level of Vitamin A but with the lowest Vitamin C comparing with other pulses screened. It is probable that IT88D-867-11 was genetically fortified with Vitamin A. This deduction however, holds hope to the fact that these landraces also could be manipulated genetically, even the said hard-to-cook phenomenon. The problem associated with the landraces-hard-to-cook phenomenon should not be a reason for allowing them to go into extinction as they have more advantage over the improved lines-their high adaptability potential, wide genetic variability as well as their nutritive and mineral element compositions.
It is rather thrilling to observe that there were differences between brown and white Fiofio in their nutritive, anti-nutritive and vitamin compositions. Though the reason underlying these differences could not be ascertained in the present study, it is a clear indication that brown and white Fiofios are different local varieties of Cajans cajan (L.) Millsp.
The study evaluated the nutritional value of selected pulses seeds as indices for conservation and improvement. It showed that these landraces of pulses are rich in protein, carbohydrate, some mineral elements such as Calcium, Magnesium, Vitamin A and C. The anti-nutritional contents were quite low. The results are suggestive of the fact that these landraces threatened by extinction should be conserved and improved.
The under-utilization of these landraces is a source of concern.

Aural FixationThe Art of the Cover SongPlumbing the inner reworkings of reduxJeff Drew jeffdrewpictures.com I'm a sucker for cover songs. Whether the aural darlings' intention is straight-up homage or radical reinterpretation, the resulting compositions are often a thrill. Some folks consider anything other than the original composer or performer's intention sacrilege. I don't subscribe to that philosophy, natch, so pardon me while I wax on about covers. The very fabric of American folk music, country and R&B is shot through with the mercurial threads of redux. On back porches, at community gatherings and in dance halls across America, individual interpretations of folk songs were plucked out of obscurity. A toe-tapping onlooker, having heard one version, would later extract some nuanced or vibrant essential aspect of the tune's lyricism and rhythm—birthing yet another variation. That's the original cover song. With the advent and adoption of copyright, ASCAP and so on, the purpose—and some might argue intent—of the cover song became more closely aligned with capitalizing on compositions' recognition value and resulting profitability. While early American country and R&B artists and songwriters were profiting from covers, the studio system, the recording industry and digital rights management technology radically expanded the possibility for lucrative covers. As America—and the globe in toto—transitions away from the studio system and the star model, have covers recouped some of their tender cultural value? Everyone's answer may differ, but one thing's for sure: Covers are still all the rage. One of the first, oft-covered classic American songs that caught my youthful ear was "Stagger Lee." The murder ballad's rise to mainstream prominence started with Lloyd Price, who recorded a powerful rendition in 1959. When American Bandstand host Dick Clark deemed the song too morbid for the apple pie-munching citizenry, Price acquiesced, recording a stripped-down version of the song; a gambling feud morphs into an argument about a woman, and a brutal murder transmogrifies into a heated debate. Clark must have been surprised when the original, morbid version captured the imagination of the nation, and the sterile, bowdlerized track he suggested sank like a stone. Folklorist and archivist John Lomax first published "Stack O'Lee" in 1911. Its first recording was captured in 1923 by Fred Waring's Pennsylvanians. Aside from Price's striking, late-'50s version, the song has been covered by a myriad of artists. Its cover artists range from Woody Guthrie to Pacific Gas & Electric (included on Quentin Tarantino's Death Proof soundtrack) to Dr. John to Mary Wells to The Black Keys and betwixt and between. Standouts include Ma Rainey's blues-moaner "Stack O'Lee Blues," Nick Cave & the Bad Seeds' homoerotic and profanity-laced take, Furry Lewis' soulful rendition of "Billy Lyons & Stack O'Lee" and Jamaican rocksteady act The Rulers' antihero paean "Wrong 'em, Boyo" (notably covered by The Clash). When psychedelic folk-rock quintet The Byrds released the single "Eight Miles High" in 1966, the American landscape was at the apex of a suburban seachange. The civil rights movement and urban desegregation- Covers that capture the essence of a song while expanding its genre categorization are my bread-and-butter. Recently (and not-so-recently) discovered examples include: Frank Chickens' "Fujiyama Mama" (Wanda Jackson), //TENSE//'s "The Chain" (Fleetwood Mac), Butterclock and oOoOO's "Hustling" (Rick Ross), Soap&Skin's "Janitor of Lunacy" (Nico), Chromatics' "Into the Black" (Neil Young), Velocity Star's "Warm Leatherette" (The Normal), Zombelle's "Pumpkin Pumpkin" (Kreayshawn), Oneohtrix Point Never's "I Only Have Eyes for You" (The Flamingos), Petra Haden's "Psycho Main Title" (Bernard Hermann), Bongwater's "Kisses Sweeter Than Wine" (Lead Belly/The Weavers), Jared Louche and the Aliens' "In Every Dream Home a Heartache" (Roxy Music) and Klaus Nomi's "Lightning Strikes" (Lou Christie).

A memorial concert for David Gold — a founding member of the Ontario, Canada-based black and doom metal band WOODS OF YPRES, who was killed in December in a car accident near Barrie, Ontario — will be held on Thursday, April 5 at The Annex WreckRoom in Toronto, Ontario., The event, which will also double as the release party for WOODS OF YPRES' new album, "Woods V: Grey Skies & Electric Light", will feature a headline performance by Chicago's NOVEMBERS DOOM, as well as tribute performances by ECLIPSE ETERNAL, EMPYREAN PLAGUE, GYPSY CHIEF GOLIATH, HALLOWS DIE, KITTIE, PAGAN RITUAL, PANZERFAUST and more. Admission is solely by donation, and proceeds will be given to the Gold family to help cover the expenses of David's final arrangements, and to support the annual David Gold Music Scholarship made available to Sault College students.
An e-mail address will be established if anyone has photos they would like to contribute to a multimedia display that will be running through the evening. For more information, go to this location. "Woods 5: Grey Skies & Electric Light" was recorded with producer Siegfried Meier (KITTIE) at Beach Road Studios in Ontario, Canada, and was mixed by John Fryer (NINE INCH NAILS, PARADISE LOST). Formed in 2002, WOODS OF YPRES has earned critical acclaim for its ever-evolving, envelope-pushing mix of blackened doom metal. Most often compared to bands such as AGALLOCH and TYPE O NEGATIVE, WOODS OF YPRES toes a thin line between the catchy, the artistic and the extreme to create an unmistakable signature sound.Memorial Concert For WOODS OF YPRES Mainman To Be Held In April

We're barely past Halloween and people are already working on their next LED based holiday decorations. For Hanukkah, Gizmodo pointed out the PCB menorah pictured above. It uses a set of DIP switches to control which LEDs are lit. A couple years ago, Evil Mad Scientist Laboratories put together a tutorial for building a more minimal LED menorah. Each of the nine LEDs are soldered directly to the legs of an ATtiny2313 microcontroller. Every time you power up the device an additional LED is lit. [Ori] liked the project and decided to take a slightly different approach. He used an LM3914 DIP18 LED bar driver. A potentiometer controls how many of the LEDs are illuminated.
5 thoughts on "LED menorahs"
Hmmm… I know that some orthodox sects aren't allowed to push buttons or flip switches on the Shabbos…
What this *really* needs is a timer to light one more LED every day.
Unfortunately, that is not a kosher chanukia (A menorah has 7 candles, the special type for chanukah has 9). A kosher chanukia is required to have the 8 candles for the days at the same height. The 9th candle, used for lighting the others, must be higher or lower.
tonight im going to write some AVR code for an attiny13 to run 9 LEDs with a per-day timer (no, im not going to include a time setting function. turn the damn thing on at midnight!)
Why is everyone busy lately with LED menorahs?? I like this menorah http://www.hhjudaica.com/New-York-City-Menorah.html it reminds me of loved ones lost in 9-11

Seahawks' Marshawn Lynch shows up for mandatory minicamp
Seahawks RB Marshawn Lynch was contemplating retirement if he didn't get a new contract, but he showed up Tuesday for the start of the Seahawks mandatory minicamp.
More NFL offseason: League minicamp dates | Latest news, notes
Like most of us, Marshawn Lynch wants a raise. In fact, earlier this week there was a report that the Seahawks running back was contemplating retirement if he didn't get a new contract.
However, Lynch showed up Tuesday for the start of the Seahawks mandatory minicamp, and by doing avoided close to $70,000 in fines. ESPN.com's Terry Blount reports that Lynch wanted to avoid the fines and believes the team will negotiate with him in good faith.
Blount adds: "The running back's arrival comes as the team tries to work something out on his desired changes to his contract, sources confirmed."
Whether the Seahawks have any interest in giving Lynch, who is scheduled to make $10.5 million in base salary the next two seasons, more money is another matter. Especially since third-year running back Christine Michael could have a bigger role in the offense moving forward.

Wow! Choosing Bill Nye over Mr. Wizard really shows how young you are. What is so hard for you to believe that he did 108 when you did 109? Yes photos can be chopped and people can lie on the net. The way i figure it (I am no engineer) is that the faster you go the bigger the difference will be. Kind of like a curve. Another way to put it is if you car does 20mph, then +-1mph is consistent. If your car does 60mph, then +-3 would be consistent. But as it has been stated before, If you don't have anything productive to say, then don't hit the post button and move on.
Anthony, thank you so much for the compliments! I put alot of thought and work into designing the kit. But, I am only human so I have missed a couple of small details that would improve the kit. I will definitely take your comments into consideration when producing the next batch of kits. I enjoy any and all feedback from anyone that is using my kit. Thanks again!
Il be ordering one soon ponie!
after seein all these XL2's up in smoke , makes me weary to install mine on the car ..
It's all part of the risk bro Lol
Last edited by Pandee; 09-21-2012 at 05:19 AM.
yea i been tempted to try the 2200 on 8s god only knows how many rpms itll get too before the bearings in the motor shatter .. if i still have everything by end of year I will try it
Ive had three ESCs fail this week. I had the XL2 in my XO-1 fail, no smoke of any kind but would not drive the motor. Put my spare XL2 in and after 5mins lost all power, put the unused stock ESC in and it would not link up to my radio. I got fed up and pulled the XL2s apart and the second one just blew the caps. Robbed the caps on the other and back in business
Come on, the only stuff I see people having to redrill and tap holes is kershaw and flm. My gorillamaxx chassis bolted right on, not to mention it came with a bag of Hexcrews HexHeads A.P. (Armor Plated) screws to put it together with a few extra not a few missing. I don't mind a bit of dremel work, but come on. If you can't make it right why make it at all.
why not look at mgm esc's. yes they are expensive but they are really nice. ive tested a friends rc with it and they hold up just fine even on 12s lipo. so 8s lipo for you set up the esc is more than enough.
Hey Bringit has your build progressed any further?? Any updates
No, mailed the battery last Monday and haven't received it back yet.
I think the battery arrived today. Have to pick my mail up tomorrow. Thanks to someone's advice on this board, I think I will research some stuff before I install my stuf as I don't want to deal with capacitor problems.
What capacitor problems?? I have had the legs brake before but as long as you have another capacitor to put on they are very easy to solder.
Luckily, I haven't had any issues with my XL2 yet. I don't have alot of run time, but it's holding up so far.
Which motor are you running ponie1992? Also are you running an 8s setup?
Waiting for my battery connectors to arrive, however I am very tempted to sell one of my rollers and the brand new XO-1 ESC so I can buy the new Traxxas Rally (1/10). That car looks fun.
Kershaw sent the set screws for the pinion gear this week, and Kershaw fixed the battery two weeks ago. I decided to order the High Gear RC mount from ponie1992 due to all of the XL2 issues I have heard of. I don't want to remove double sided tape each time if I have to send it back to Castle. The kit installed without ANY problems! Thanks ponie1992!!! When any of you buy the kit, just make sure you use some CA glue or hot glue like the instructions state because I proved that Elmer's glue, which is all I had this morning, isn't the easiest way to glue the spacers lol.
My bullet connectors came in this week, so I will have my LHS put those on and possibly make some wire extensions. Getting closer to getting the car back on the road...
Are you installing a cap pack with the XL2? I didn't the first time but I will now.
I thought about it, but haven't pulled the trigger to buy one. What made you decide to go with one?
When I popped my XL2, the guy at castle kept going on about one. If they are so important they should say so in the instructions imo. Either way, a cap pack is only 20 bucks so I figure cheap insurance. XO-1 has one on it stock.
I see. I am waiting for Castle to respond to my e-mail about a few things.
my LHS actually sells bigger cap packs then one castle has and recommended it but I still bought the castle one .. lol
also make sure your LHS stock 8guage wire to make extension for wiring because none of the ones around me have it only special order .
I will have to order some wire online when/if I order the cap pack. Here is an interesting response I received from Castle:
The XO-1 is a closed system, meaning it was designed specifically for the XO-1 vehicle. Any changes to the system will be out of warranty. Using an XL2 with a low cost/low quality motor not specifically designed for that vehicle will void the XL2 warranty. Because the XO-1 was designed to achieve a specific speed with a specific power system it is unlikely that the vehicle will go much faster with a different, and especially heavier, less efficient system.
The XL2 is a data logger and logs 'Ripple Current', the side effect of inadequate batteries on the ESC that causes damage. In fact, this is the number 1 killer of high energy ESCS. To use the data logger to determine if your batteries are adequate download the data from the ESC with your Castle Link, Highlight a run where the data lines are moving then divide average ripple by average voltage. The result should be 0.05 (5%) or lower. If it is over that your batteries are inadequate and will damage the ESC, how much over 5% determines how long this will take as each run over 5% ripple does small but incremental damage to the ESCS caps. A cap pack lowers ripple but you don't want to use a cap pack to mask inadequate batteries. If your batteries are capable of giving you less than 5% ripple (1% - 2% is common with good and sufficient batteries) put on a cap pack as cheap insurance and to protect the ESC when the batteries start wearing out.
Stench -
I recommend talking to either Joe or Thomas over at Castle. There is one guy there (not sure of his name) that doesn't know anything. He will just simply tell you that any malfunction is due to the lipo used. I'm currently running the 8.0mm castle bullets (ESC/Motor/Lipo's) with the cap pack on my 8s set-up. I have not pulled the logs from yesterday but the ESC is still in tact.
Here's a pic of the XL2 with the cap pack (the + ESC wire is kinked because I had the cap pulled to the side - it does not sit like this):
"also make sure your LHS stock 8guage wire to make extension for wiring because none of the ones around me have it only special order ."
Or you can forget the series harness if you're using bullet connectors. I've got the negative of the "drivers side" lipo (F bullet) going straight to the positive of the "passenger side" lipo (M bullet). It helps to further decrease resistance. You just have to be very careful when using the bullets so that you don't ground them out.

That would be the ideal way todo it and wa tobe the way I was gonna go . I just stopped attempting hi speed runs and mainly use my 4S batts for trackin and all my cars and boats run traxxas plugs . Ive seen ppl running traxxas plugs and deans on 8S with no issues and have seen others whom the plastics melted so its a try at your own risk kind of deal i guess
.btw Im curious seeing all these kershaw setups and no one posting top speed runs with them , when I had emailed kershaw back in the spring when he first came out with this setup he replied that " the car will deff do over 120MPH but now im led to believe that isnt true anymore . I dont think these low KV motors have enough rpms to take it over that unless your throwing more then 8S at it maybe 10S-12S .
Now that winter is almost here I sold my RTR xo-1 and had a brand new roller sitting in closet, XL2 and going to run the 2200 castle motor on 8S for one run hi speed . Just have to figure out the gearing . Everyone and their mommas tell me the motor will blow , but when I witnessed the XL2 with 2200 on 8S doing 140mph on a GTP2E then im convinced it will handle it on the xo-1 for one hi speed run
Making one more shopping list. Let me know if there are other small things I should pickup this round:
Cap pack
8 gauge wire
Spare bullet connectors
GTR Green Revo Springs (TRA5438)
Looking good, guys! Thanks for the compliments bringit!
I have not posted any results because everybody wants 3 video camera men, 10 gps units, and 20 radar guns here for verification. As you guys know, I've had issues with the XL2 ESC. I have gone back over the set-up and it is currently back up and running. The last failed ESC test results yielded a 25mph gain in top speeds over my 6s set-up at a 400ft test location (70mph 6s vs 95mph 8s - GPS/Radar). Keep in mind the 95mph run was only at about 60-70% throttle on worn down foams.
The 8s set-up makes this car insanely fast compared to the stock 6s set-up. From the experience I have with it so far, I believe this set-up is capable of doing a minimal speed of 120mph.

I'm pretty sure he has the motor that is included in the Kershaw Designs setup
Ordered my parts today
I spend more time fixing mine than driving it..
Dying to see a run, I haven't seen an xo-1 over 105mph anywhere.
Figured they would be eclipsing at least the 1/8 buggies that are for speed runs by now lol.
What is holding them back?
lol. That's why I bought a new XO1 to do this set-up on. I got around to pulling the datalogs from testing the other day and ripple voltage looks to finally be stabilized with the addition of the 8.0mm connectors and cap pack. ESC temps have also dropped roughly 50 degree's.
If a set-up like this was easy then everybody would have one.
E Revo brushless, XO-1, Nitro 4 tec 3.3, HPI RS4
You guys might want try going to your states DOT website. Maybe you can find some decent road construction projects nearby.
I don't have a shortage of roads where I can run full speed around here, I just don't have a running car!
My parts arrived today so I am heading to my LHS in a few minutes to drop it off.
I've got a great location that I run my XO1's at. I would ultimately like access to an airport runway but that's kind of out of the question for the airports where I'm located at.
I took the 8s set-up out for some shake down runs yesterday. I managed to clock low 100's (radar gun) at only 65% throttle. This car is retarded fast. I'm still getting used to the throttle trigger as it's pretty easy to lose control of the vehicle if you slam into the throttle. I'm strictly running the slicks on this set-up as the foams cannot seem to handle the power from the 8s without the rear breaking loose.

Sunny Shine on the Funny Side of Life (Atari ST)
Critic Score
100 point score based on reviews from various critics. ...
User Score
5 point score based on user ratings. |
Sunny Shine on the Funny Side of Life is a promotional (still commercial) adventure which advertises L&M cigarettes. The player takes on the role of Sunny Shine whose car was destroyed by a steamroller. The goal of the game is to get the only existing duplicate car into Sunny's possession. The scenario takes place in Los Angeles.The game uses a non-parser control system: the player moves a cursor on the screen and after clicking on an interactive object, a list of possible commands pops up. Puzzles are mostly inventory and conversations-based. Special puzzles are a quiz about American pop culture as a first puzzle and a few action sequences. However, there are various dead end scenarios (missing an item which is required in a later scene) and a limited inventory. To pick up a new item after the limit is reached, an object has to be permanently removed from the game. The advertising consists of references to L&M in the background graphics and dialogues.

Schiek Sports 1000-LLS Extra Thick Leather Weightlifting Straps - The 1000-LLS Weightlifting Straps by Schiek Sports are for those that prefer the feel of leather over nylon in a lifting strap. The 1000-LLS is constructed from extra thick natural leather which inherently grabs the bar better than cotton or nylon webbing making it possible to hold more weight for a longer period of time. Like any leather product, once the leather is worked and has a chance to break in, it becomes very pliable allowing it to form perfectly to the bar. Leather weightlifting straps are extremely effective in adding grip strength and holding power to lifts such as barbell shrugs, bent over rows and even pull-ups.

The society dates all the way back to 1832, and, with such a large number of "Bonesmen" having attained positions of power over the years (including several presidents and a former head of the CIA), it's no wonder that rumors abound that the society is obsessed with obtaining power and influencing U.S. foreign policy.
But whether or not members are truly "obsessed," the group sure tries to give off a spooky impression. For instance, the Skull and Bones also goes by the name the Brotherhood of Death, and the members meet in an imposing temple-like building on the Yale campus called the Tomb (makes us wish we had a nightlight!). Bonesmen are selected, or "tapped," during their junior year and can reveal their membership only after they've graduated. Even then, they can never talk about it.
The Bones have been accused of all sorts of crazy rituals and conspiracies, including drug smuggling and the assassination of JFK (after all, he did go to Harvard). It's even rumored the skull of Geronimo resides in the Tomb, stolen from its resting place by Prescott Bush, Dubya's granddad. And, in one of the more commonly known rituals, the initiate must spend all night naked in an open coffin, confessing all his sexual experiences to the group!

Defect chemistry and oxygen transport of (La0.6Sr0.4 − xMx)0.99Co0.2Fe0.8O3 − δ, M = Ca (x = 0.05, 0.1), Ba (x = 0.1, 0.2), Sr: Part II: Oxygen transport
Publication: Research - peer-review › Journal article – Annual report year: 2009
This paper is the second part of a two part series, where the effects of varying the A-site dopant on the defect chemistry and transport properties of the materials (La0.6Sr0.4 − xMx)0.99Co0.2Fe0.8O3 − δ, M = Sr, Ca (x = 0.05, 0.1), Ba (x = 0.1, 0.2) (LSMFC) have been investigated. In part I, the findings on the defect chemistry were reported, while the oxygen transport properties are reported here in part II. In the investigated material series, the amount of divalent dopant has been kept constant, while Sr ions have been substituted with Ca ions (smaller ionic radius) or Ba ions (larger ionic radius). The size difference induces different strains into the crystal structure in each composition. The possibility of simple relationships between various crystal strain parameters and the transport properties were analyzed. Oxygen pump controlled permeation experiments and a surface sensitive electrolyte probe were used to extract the permeability and surface resistance, rs. The highest permeability was found for (La0.6Sr0.3Ca0.1)0.99Co0.2Fe0.8O3 − δ. The apparent activation energy of the permeability was 78 kJ/mol. The inverse surface resistance, rs− 1, also had an activated behavior with an activation energy close to 180 kJ/mol for most of the materials. A reversible transition to an abnormally low rs was found in (La0.6Sr0.3Ca0.1)0.99Co0.2Fe0.8O3 − δ at T > 1223 K.

Are your children 'deprived'?
So, I was actually quite disturbed to read the new report commissioned by The Children's Society about children's perception of their own happiness.
Whilst many of the write-ups I've read this morning try to point out that actually, some of the measures that children have indicated impacting on their well-being are focused on family togetherness and days out, there is still an alarming weight placed on material possessions.
The University of York surveyed 5,500 boys and girls for the Children Society research, and concluded that children who lack more than 5 out of the 10 items on their new 'deprivation index' are over 5 times more likely to suffer low levels of well-being than children who have all 10 indicators.
So, what are these 'items of deprivation'?
1. Some pocket money each week to spend on yourself
2. Some money that you can save each month, either in a bank or at home
3. A pair of designer or brand name trainers (like Nike or Vans)
4. An iPod or other personal music player
5. Cable or satellite TV at home
6. A garden at home, or somewhere nearby like a park where you can safely spend time with your friends
7. A family car for transport when you need it
8. The right kind of clothes to fit in with other people your age
9. At least one family holiday away from home each year
10. Family trips or days out at least once a month
Will my child really feel deprived without the latest pair of sneakers or an ipod?
What message does this report send out to parents? Parents who are already placed under pressure and feel guilt laid on from every direction. Parents who are trying to make ends meet in these austere times.
Will it make us try to instill other values in our children. To show that they are safe; loved and wanted in ways other than material possessions you can buy? Or will it make us rush out to JD Sports?
What do you think?

sorry, my kids will have to be deprived then! they are not getting trendy trainers/clothes or ipods, sometimes they will not get family holidays, or pocket money (at least till i can make them earn it!).
I'm an evil mum who won't let the kids have tv's in their bedrooms and i make them wear handy down or home made clothes!
What a silly list - deprived is having no food, no where safe to live and no love!Sorry, but WTF??? None of these except point 6 is NEEDED for a happy childhood. Not having pocket money does not mean your lacking in anything. Most parents I know simply buy their child what they need and occasionally what they want. Trainers? Ipod? Seriously??? Im sure most kids would be happier spending quality time with their parents, A walk and fun in the park/woods/beach etc. There is alot to be said for some good old fashioned fun, and none of that above seems to fit in. Not in my house anyway.
ReplyDeleteThanks for commenting.
I have to say I totally agree. 'Deprivation' is an emotive word I'll admit.
I support most of the work The Children's Society do - I used to volunteer for them, but I really think this report sends out totally the wrong messages and their focus would be better spent elsewhere.
And Mum, I'm sorry for saying I was a deprived child because you wouldn't buy us a Soda Stream.What a joke lol but then it doesn't surprise me! my daughter is obviously deprived then as she doesn't own expensive brand name clothes or the latest ipod or mobile phone and well at 8 years of age what an awful parent i am not to get her all those things at her age :P
Like i say it doesn't surprise me kids seem to think its all about possesions these days not about being kept fed clean and most importantly being loved! most of katie's friends have ipods ipads mobile phones and wear the latest brand trainers but i refuse to go down that road!What age are these children though? My boys couldn't care less about any of that stuff - they're 3 and 6.
I do remember wanting Nikes when I was about 13/14 - I got some giant puffy white things called 'Nicks'! I know I whined occasionally about the fact we didn't have a video or a sodastream, never had a telly in my room and wasn't getting £20 or whatever per GCSE, but I knew I wasn't deprived really, and I will be just as sensible as my parents were (I hope). That said, when I was a kid I would have seethed with jealousy to see the portable DVD player the boys have in the car for that 5 hour drive to Granny's!Hi DresdenFae - ha! I know what you mean. My daughter howled with laughter the other day when she say a phone box and I told her what it was for! She couldn't fathom that computers, mobiles and 3 million TV channels didn't exist when I was little!
Lakota - The kids asked were aged 8 - 15. Really, at the age of 15 wouldn't you hope for a better empathy and understanding of the world at large? :0(What a daft list.
My children get pocket money (though they do small chores for it), we have a garden, a car and we have skytv . Beyond that I guess they are deprived if I believe this list! Generally they have happy and know they are loved.
When I was growing up, we didn't have a video player till I was 14, no car till I was over 16 (though we had access to grandparents car), but we did have a soda stream!Samantha - show off!! Thanks for your comment. x
At the risk of sounding like the typical grumpy old fart "in my day we were lucky if we had a lump of coal to play with..." it really does strike me as incredible that these are the measures children choose to show their emotional well-being :0(No, not really. Cos children that age are usually intrinsically selfish. They KNOW that others are worse off and they don't NEED these things, but that doesn't stop the want. Who knows quite how the question was phrased when they were asked it? Of course they have the cognitive ability to see that they're not deprived at all in comparison with other nations, but realistically, kids compare with their peers. Mine will just have to be deprived for a while longer, but if they ask for an ipod at 11, and I can afford it - I would think it's a reasonable present. I had a midi hi-fi at about that age. It's all relative. That's not to say we'll be going to Disneyland or having multiple sky channels any time soon.
ReplyDeleteI'm not a Mum so possibly my view isn't valid but I personally think that list is total crap. Of course kids want what they want, they're an advertiser's dream - think of all the buzz around the 'must have' toys at Christmas. But to say that if a child has to take the bus or walk instead of being constantly driven around and doesn't have an iPod or expensive trainers they are deprived is a bit nutty to me!!
The family days out I'm totally there with though - even if it's just going out for a bike ride and a picnic or visiting relatives, having/going to a barbecue (or this month a bonfire!) etc - it's important to have the odd treat as a family I think.
Jem xXxActually, just realised that my lot do have most of the things on that list. But... they're older (15,13,11 and 9). The two big ones own ipods, but they saved up with their own money to get them. They do get pocket money, the oldest doesn't care about designer labels but the 13yo does. So she buys those things with her own money. She recently earned money from her little sisters by selling them her hand me downs:-) But generally speaking they didn't always get new clothes when younger - the oldest getting hand me downs from cousins. They are hugely privileged children, and I think they are aware of it. I hope so anyway.
That list is a nonsense. Children need love first and foremost, then to have a roof over their heads and enough food to eat and clothes to wear. The rest is immaterial.This is ridiculous, my 8 yr old son doesn't care about clothing labels, for him it's all about the character on them! I had sky TV before he was born, but if I ddn't have it he wouldn't have missed it! Days out and a safe place to play outside are the only essential things on that list, when I was a kid we were out all day every day and TV was a Saturday night thing and maybe Saturday mornings too occasionally. The world has gone mad!
ReplyDeleteMy 12 year old has most of the things on the list. I'm charity shop mad, my clothes, home, 4 and 3 year old sons are kitted out in other peoples' junk. My 12 year old son though, he hangs around with friends from nouveau riche backgrounds and their whole identity revolves around brands/possessions. I don't have the strength to deny him these things because I remember the embarrassment I felt at not having a family car, cool trainers and a tv. The tv was only recently purchased though, I don't like tv's in the bedroom at all.
As much as I'd like to have him reading books and wearing cast-offs like he did before high school, I have to accept this is his environment, this is what makes him feel 'valid'. Am I doing harm? Maybe a no-win situation.I'm appalled by this list. The only crucial thing on that list in #6. All that this will do is increase the burden of guilt on parents to give their children material things, possibly risking their emotional wellbeing to do so. A child is deprived if it is not loved, or does not feel safe, is hungry, homeless or cold. The lack of an iPod will not cause actual damage to any child. I think The Children's Society have been incredibly irresponsible with this one.

I found this fascinating but it also touched a raw nerve for me. I read it out to OH who agreed with most of the comments, that its disgusting that kids think/feel that etc but I have to say I can totally get where this is coming from to a point. I prob grew up with the equivalent of 2 of those items, one being the garden! My parents didn't have a car until I was about 16. My brother and I received mainly second hand ' big' presents, bikes etc all the while watching our close cousins receive everything new. We stood by while they received new designer clothes regularly in front of us (god knows how sh*t my parents must have felt) anyway my point is I remember feeling acutely sad and down about this for most of my childhood as situation s arose. Friends at school didn't help either. I know I shall really struggle with my children and whether or not they should have these things as I don't want them to be spoilt but remember so painfully these feelings of wanting stuff so bad and not understanding or reasoning. I can see where this is coming from and perhaps could have been written in a more sensitive manner and could have come across better. Incidently my OH had equivalent of most of these things and couldn't understand my views really.
ReplyDelete Hi Mamabear,
Thank you for your comment.
I too struggled with my feelings over this. After all, it's the children THEMSELVES who are saying this.
That makes me sad - that our society is this way. But I also can see as a teenage kid, seeing others have things that you don't, would be depressing. We are still, it seems, a nation of 'haves' and 'have nots'.
I'm just a little surprised that the Children's Society are going to use this research to lobby government. Whilst it's clearly important that EVERY child feels happiness, there are some much more fundamental basic human rights that our children need and are still not getting, even here in this 'great nation'. xI am shocked and appalled! How materialistic is the majority of that list? I can only understand a few of these things being on there (age dependant, that is); some pocket money each week to spend on yourself,a garden at home, or somewhere nearby like a park where you can safely spend time with your friends, family trips or days out at least once a month (but these needn't cost anything). The rest are ridiculous!

Here are a few guidelines that may help to give you and others in the community a better understanding of the process we go through when weather is severe enough to possibly call off/dismiss school… just in time for the cooler weather!
Q – What is the process for calling off school?
A – First, we gather the most accurate information possible including the anticipated time the snow will begin. We check the weather channel, radar, various forecasts as well as the National Weather Service to monitor the forecast hour by hour. In addition, we check the air temperature and the road temperature to anticipate icing conditions. Christian County is a fairly large district, which is why CCPS staff physically checks roads from one side of the county to the other.
Q – If the roads are becoming snow covered, what happens next?
A – Our transportation team will drive through different zones throughout the county and confer on the conditions. Phone calls are made to districts in the direction of the snow in order to more accurately match the prediction and timing of the snow with the actual conditions. Discussions also occur between neighboring districts. This decision–making process begins approximately between 3:30 and 4:30 a.m. By approximately 5 a.m., the transportation director and Superintendent review all factors and determine if we should close or delay. Phone calls are made to all radio and TV stations as well as the bus drivers. By approximately 5:15 a.m. An "Infinite Campus Messenger Call," which is designed to call all phones numbers (approximately 10,000) within 15 to 20 minutes. If you have NOT received any calls this school year from the school system and you are a parent or legal guardian of a CCPS student, please contact your child's school to be added to the Infinite Campus database.
Q – How will CCPS notify parents and students that we have decided to call off school for the day?
- WHOP, WKDZ and the Kentucky New Era
- News Channel 2, 4 5 and Fox 17 TV stations
- Infinite Campus Message calls are sent to parents/guardians
- www.christian.kyschools.us and you can sign up for text messages through the website using the "Notify Me" link
- Don't forget to the stay updated through the district's Facebook & Twitter pages: Christian County Public Schools.
- Lastly, the public may call the district's school closing hotline at (270) 707-1900
Q – What if the snow has not started by 5 am?
A – Timing is the most difficult aspect of this decision. We transport approximately 6800 students over 8700 miles each day. It takes us approximately three hours to get our students home (longer if there is inclement weather). Early school dismissal creates a hardship for our working parents and a risk that many of our students may be home unsupervised. We want to get our high school student drivers on the road as soon as possible before the weather worsens. We also coordinate with Christian County's Crisis Management Coordinator, Mr. Graham. The amount of quality instruction time is also a consideration.
Q –If we've already been out of school, how is the decision made regarding the return to school?
A – Our transportation team checks all questionable roads. We consider the late afternoon road conditions and anticipate the morning conditions based on the temperature. If conditions are questionable, we have the option to run on a one or two hour delayed schedule.
These decisions are tough and we know people won't always agree with them. We value our instructional time, but the safety of our children is most important. We will always err on the side of caution.
Q: When will snowSMART Learning Days be used?
A: This flyer shares information regarding snowSMART Learning. To learn more about the snowSMART program specific to your school, please contact your school principal or visit your school's website.

It's Hard Enough Being a Teenager
Can you imagine being a teen with diabetes?
Editor's Note: While this columnist is no longer writing for dLife.com and we have ceased to update the information contained herein, there is much to be read here that is still applicable to the lives of people with diabetes. If you wish to act on anything you learn here, be sure to consult your doctor first. Please enjoy the column!
September 2010 —If it is difficult for a typical teenager to learn about relationships, date, and handle themselves in social situations, what must it be like for a teen with diabetes? I wonder if it is ever really possible to understand how diabetes is affecting my son's life as a teenager. I really don't think it is possible to know. I remember back to that time in my own development and remember how awful it was. I don't think I could have handled dealing with something like diabetes that was so difficult to manage and clearly labeled me as different from everyone else.
I am sure that a teen with diabetes has to weigh how much they share about their diabetes with their friends or potential dates. I don't think it is something that would come up when they first meet someone. There would have to be some level of trust present, or at least the reassurance that the person was "safe" to share something so important with. And then there would be the question of whether them having diabetes could become their identity. We have found that to be something that is always a little bit of a struggle in general. Having diabetes is only one part of who a person is, and I don't think anyone who lives with this disease would want it to define them, least of all a teenager. But I am sure it is hard for that not to happen to some degree.
Maybe if there is a positive side to how having diabetes affects someone's love life, it is that the person learns at and early age how to determine who will not judge them for having a medical condition, who they can trust, who will know they are still a capable person and who will want to support them in their efforts to maintain their health. Being able to choose the right kind of people to surround yourself with is a good skill to develop at an early age.
And as seems to be the case with many aspects of our son having diabetes, many things that present challenges end up making him stronger. He has developed coping strategies and life skills that he never would have at such an early age if he did not have diabetes. These challenges have created opportunities for learning and growth that would never have been necessary without dealing with something like diabetes. No one wants to hear that something so difficult builds character, but when I look at my son and compare him to other kids his age, I can see that it really does.
