Started working on the weathering. Flying a little blind on this so far. I've gotten some pointers but it just doesn't seem to be connecting in my head yet how to make it look more realistic.
Next up will be the helmet padding and fan, and the helmet skirt also. Bolo material ordered (again!) for girth belt, as I fell short on round one. Got one put together that would fit someone with a smaller waist, but not going to work for me....practice makes perfect I guess.
For the weathering I like to use basic craft paint. I usually use black, burnt umber and gray. I stipple it on with a ratty brush, and I lay it on fairly thick. Then I let it dry for about 5 minutes and wipe it with a dry cloth. The results is that it stays in the creases and crevices and some small amounts will be on the dome and such. If you don't like how much is there you just rub more of it off. If you want more then just repeat.
The results tend to be really uneven and gives depth to the weathering.
What type of paint is craft paint? I bought some acrylic junk from Michaels that dries if you let it go more than a few seconds....
It is the acrylic paint that comes in the little squeeze bottles. It is probably the same stuff you bought. Even if it has dried it usually rubs off with a dry cloth and some pressure. If you really don't like it then use a wet cloth and it will all come off.
here is a thread I did for the Mando Mercs. Login
It has pics of each step. Let me know if you can't see that, not sure what section of the forum it is in.
Forward progress, but taking it slowly. Got the upper armor located, working it in sections to make sure I keep the spacing as accurate as possible and spaced right with the girth belt.
Got the girth belt finished except getting it laced up. Still have to make the cover strip but holding till I can suit up to get the width right on it. Hoping the 3 inch width will work but I'd rather prove it before diving (or cutting) in.
Got these boots too, but not sure how the flap part will cover up with the boot armor. May have to get some of the crowe62 boots....
For all of my past and even current commissions, I've used Apple Barrel brand acrylics, black and brown. Walmart usually sells this and it's dirt cheap.
I will mix a bit more brown into the mix for better contrast. The benefit to Jango is that the weathering is still quite subtle. Really the splotchy portions are along the edges, ear caps, along the brim, and where the blue/silver meet on the inner cheeks.
Less is more!
Also, aside from using the black/brown mix for the corners and such, I usually apply the same mix across all of the helmet. Using a rag/towel to wipe away excess, reapply, repeat until I get it looking even and the way I'd like it
I use black, brown, gray and burnt umber. And it is the cheap stuff that dries quick. The quick drying actually helps with the method I use where I dab it on and then wipe off excess.
Thanks guys! Now I gotta get my padding put in the helmet and locate the neck seal.
Vest fits good but gonna have to add a slit down the back and get it hemmed up so I don't "hulk" out in this thing. I know jack squat about doing that or if it'll even work. Open to suggestions on that one.
Anyone have pictures/ description of how to wire the gauntlet light (the red one?)
Is a beautiful helmet paint work bro keep it!!!

Looking good man, really digging the chest piece. and the Flak jacket looks very proportional. when you put on the Coveralls it will look amazing.
Thanks man! Will take some better pics this weekend once I get the ab plate on, and the girth belt strung up. Then time to locate the cod-piece and holsters AND gulp, backplate.
Also gotta use a little hot water to reshape the bend on the collar edges. Needs to curl down a little bit. Hot water, bend, then dunk in very cold water ought to do the trick.

Did I mention VERY slow progress???
i can see it now Grand Pa you got the costume finished!!!! hush it sonney an get my cane
I think two is a good idea. I only have one per side but had intended to have two all along. I just got the one in place for a troop and then never went back (over the past 2 or 3 years) to put the other Chicago screw in.....one of these days I may get it done.
One other thing that you may want to do after you get everything sized is to cut off the "wings" on the cod. I saw where Seeker did this and followed his lead. It makes it more comfortable to wear.

|st: controlling what variables to dropping?
|Fri, 14 Oct 2005 15:58:58 +0100
I am sorry about the confusing subject in my previous email. Here's the one I intended to put Dear Statalisters, I have a simple question, but that I haven't been able to answer for some time... I have a bilateral trade (gravity) model, with pairs of countries as individuals. I want to estimate a model in cross-section that includes country fixed effects, but have not been able to control the dropping of some of these effects. Does anyone know of any command to tell STATA how to prioritise the dropping of collinear variables? Any suggestions/ideas will be more than welcomed!

Jonathan Rutherfurd Best is both Kiwi Boy Done Good Abroad and Prodigal Son Returned.
Raised on a remote sheep farm in Taranaki, he made the leap to London and founded a company specialising in bespoke events for clients in the creative, fashion, film, art and charity industries, "designing beautiful and seductive environments" and responsible for some of the most talked-about parties in the world. Clients included royalty, major banks, Louis Vuitton, Prada, Armani, Jo Malone, Topshop, MGM and Universal Pictures.
Now he's back, and with partner Andrew Glenn has thrown open the doors to what's being touted as one of Auckland's chicest destinations, Waiheke Island's The Oyster Inn, all freshly painted white weatherboards, ocean views, sophisticated, yet relaxed, interiors and food and drinks to match.
Running a restaurant, bar, private dining room, beach shop and boutique accommodation with passion and style, Rutherford Best is a good man to know when it comes to organising events for summer.
How would you describe your approach to party planning?
It's always about creating convivial, seductive and creative environments where guests can be swept into another world.
Every good party needs ... A good host!
How do you create the right atmosphere? Lighting, music, great food and drinks.
What are some of your secrets to creating the perfect event?
If you keep it simple and prepare well in advance you'll enjoy your own party - so many people don't enjoy their own parties.
Make sure you have lots of ice - have jugs of cocktails made in advance then just add the ice when the doorbell rings. Have a bar set up so people can help themselves or, if you can, hire a barman for the evening who can look after all the drinks while you can attend to the food.
Don't overcomplicate.
Serve what you make best.
Light the house with candles - bright lights will kill any party.
Make sure you have a great playlist on your iPod so you don't have to worry about music and, as parties are unpredictable, make sure you have some good party tracks if the guests look like they're going to throw a few moves.
How important is the invitation? Invitations are very important and need to impart the tone. A good invite can really get the right crowd, a bad one can just disappear in the bin.
Tips for a great table? I like to set a table in a variety of different ways. Sometimes I mismatch crockery and cutlery, sometimes I keep it very plain. I like gingham at lunch and white linen for dinner. I always use linen napkins, whatever the occasion, even if it's a simple supper or casual lunch or breakfast - the linen napkins just make it that little more special. I've mastered the art of drying napkins at just the right temperature so you don't need to iron them unless it's a truly formal occasion. I like round, square or oval tables, as they're much more convivial. But one long table that seats 20 or more can give the wow factor and be great fun as well.
Tips for food and menus? Always keep the menu simple. Do as much as you can before the guests arrive. Start with shucked oysters that can also be opened before guests arrive. Do a main course that's able to be served at the table. We love spaghetti alle vongole - a simple clam pasta. You have to do it last minute but all the prep can be done before and it takes only a short time to cook. Serve with a great green salad to follow and then a pudding you've made in advance, like a creme caramel.
Favourite music to play? I love to play a variety of different music. I have an iPod created for me that has a lot of different soundscapes. One I particularly like when guests come for a small dinner is entitled Take Me To Paris - all French music, very atmospheric and a little sexy. If it's a drinks party then I play a lot of Brazilian and Latino music, something with a sparkle. What I deplore is loud bass music at a party, where all you hear is a beat but no music. I love live music and sometimes we just have someone play electric jazz or slide guitar. That really creates a great vibe. Music is super-important but you must get the right music for the right crowd.
What drinks do you always have to hand? I always have vodka, lemon juice and mint to hand for our Innkeeper cocktail but I also like lemongrass, which we steep in sugar syrup to add to cocktails or simply add to soda or sparkling water for a delicious quenching drink.
Suggestions for summer parties? Simplicity. I like shellfish and fish as I said - a platter of assorted treasures from the sea is always a winner for me, and can all be done in advance. I love picnics, they're fun and convivial even if it's in your own backyard. Make some home-made lemonade and put rugs on the ground. Make an octopus salad with barley and lots of fresh herbs and lemon juice - so easy to make - and serve at room temperature. This can be made in advance, just drizzle olive on and serve. Serve slices of watermelon for something sweet.
Jonathan's checklist
In decorations? Candles, candles, candles - you just can't go wrong. If it's a day event, jars of wildflowers and gingham tablecloths. At night just use one or two colours - keep it all white or all midnight blue. Buy some light filters, make all the lights in the house blue and play She Wore Blue Velvet and serve oysters and Black Velvet cocktails.
Table arrangements? At The Oyster Inn we have a private dining room called The Pearl, with a beautiful selection of corals and oyster shells that, combined with old glass jars with candles, makes a beautiful table setting.
Food? Platters of oysters with Bloody Mary granita, clams and mussels with lemon aioli, good breads with olive oil, whole crayfish with a home-made mayonnaise, a big green salad.
Drinks? The Innkeeper cocktail we serve at The Oyster Inn is delicious - Absolut vodka, fresh mint steeped in lemon juice, sugar syrup topped with soda. Fresh, crisp and can be made in advance. Or jugs of white wine sangria with cucumber and elderflower.

much worse, clear fumble
much worse, clear fumble
Apologize to Melo 5
Packers will let that pass since they won the game. Otherwise... oh boy in Green Bay... Regular refs not even close on that one. Ball came out while he was still running and the call was ruled down by contact. Lol!
I'd also have to laugh at the the Saints being 0-4, but at least they get the primary back-up head coach back.
You couldn't see who recovered the fumble. They dont know who recovered it. Saints still didnt get anything out of it thank god.

backyard field guide
A recent exciting wildlife encounter has gotten us underway.
We saw this goanna on our door. It was unbelievable. I have never seen one of these goanna's in our yard and they are less common these days since the arrival of the cane toad. But not only was this goanna in our yard, but climbing up our screen door.
We read about the goanna in our wildlife field guide and my son decided which information was important to include in our guide.
We also documented another recent wildlife sighting. We didn't have a photo so my son drew a picture. My eldest son spotted a black whip snake in a garden near our fort. I was very proud of his response. He immediately came and told me (not that I was far away). So we all left it alone and went elsewhere.
It does freak me out to think that my children might meet a poisonous snake or spider in our backyard, but I know that it is part of living in Australia. My approach is to teach my children to assess and minimise the risks. For example, don't play in the garden beds, don't lift up logs or stones without an adult and keep your eyes open.
Now, I know that my eldest son is practising these guidelines. And he is much better at keeping his eyes open than me, he's always spotting interesting things when we are out and about.
If you'd like to see another example of how to go about creating a backyard field guide, Debi from Go Explore Nature has started to create one with her son.

How fun! I'm thrilled to see you guys have started a field guide of your own. It's such a great way for the kids to learn a bunch of information they might not otherwise. Thanks for the mention! :)

This is great. I think it is so important to know about all of the animals that live in your local area. It's a step towards being able to "share" your environment with the snakes and spiders which are dangerous. Also if you know and understand something you're more likely to protect it. Have you seen Dawn French's books about the animals that they have got to know in their backyard. They have a nice mix of fact and fiction.

lovely idea - cant wait to see more as you add to it and a great way to teach your kids to respect nature and give it space when required

That goanna is fantastic! And how amazing that you know your kids are listening about safety. Snakes and spiders are a worry of ours too, but the big girl's reaction to a spider is to freak out, which is quite sad. Sounds like your guys are doing great.

Homeless man, long seen as gentle, accused in fatal Clifton stabbing
He was known for sitting on a bench overlooking Clifton Avenue and strumming his guitar, greeting families as they passed, a homeless man who for years was a fixture at the Richfield Shopping Center in Clifton.
The people who shop and work there said they always considered him to be a gentle man — at least until Monday when, police said, Henry Werner, 61, stabbed two people at the shopping center, killing one of them.
Paul Baker, 67, whose family has a landscaping service and was an elder at his church, was pronounced dead at St. Joseph's Regional Medical Center in Paterson Monday morning, Passaic County Prosecutor Camelia M. Valdes and Clifton Police Chief Gary F. Giardina said in a release. An 80-year-old man who witnesses said tried to help Baker, Clarence Wispelwey, also was stabbed and was in stable condition at St. Joseph's Monday night, authorities said.
Clifton police said an off-duty Nutley police officer, David Struss, reacted quickly to disarm Werner without using his police handgun, avoiding jeopardizing people at the shopping center, and probably saving Wispelwey's life. "Just a tremendous job," said Clifton Detective Sgt. Robert Bracken.
Werner, the father of three grown children, was diagnosed in the 1990s with a serious mental illness, said his former wife, Gail Werner, and a former sister-in-law, Tania Ferentz, both of whom live in Florida. Ferentz said that police allowed her to talk to him by phone after the stabbing on Monday, and that he appeared confused.
"He did not even know why he was in jail," she said.
People who knew him at the Richfield Shopping Center said that he spent his days walking up and down the mall, eating dinner at the pizzeria, buying lottery tickets at the liquor store. He had been sleeping at night in a restaurant called Foodies Café, and told his ex-wife that he was the "night watchman" there. He always appeared neat and clean, doing his laundry at the Town Wash Tub, where he sometimes slept, and taking showers at the Clifton Boys and Girls Club.
When the restaurant closed in January, according to people who knew him, he moved to a Passaic boarding house. He returned to the shopping center last week and told people he wasn't happy where he had been living. Some people said he seemed to have changed, that he seemed more agitated and was talking to himself more than usual.
Lauren Basile, whose family owns a card and gift store at the center, said he was "rambling" more than usual. Debbie Roon, an attendant at the Town Wash Tub, said he was singing to himself the other day, something she had never seen before.
"Something triggered him," Roon said, adding that she had planned to confront Werner today because he slept in the laundry after being told not to sleep there. She said he left a duffel bag and a Super Bowl tote bag under a chair in her store when he went to the Dunkin' Donuts to get coffee.
"I could have been his victim," she said.
His actions have led friends at the shopping center and his family to wonder whether he was taking his medications. His ex-wife said he used to talk to himself when he stopped taking medications. Ferentz, who said she has a great deal of sympathy for the people who were stabbed and their families, said that Werner "needs to be put in a mental facility."
Roon said she saw Baker walking past her business, and then saw Werner walk by in the same direction. John Bing of Clifton said he was driving by when he saw what looked like two men horsing around, but then he heard cries of "help me, help me!" He said he called 911 just as a police officer tackled one of the men, apparently Werner.
Jessica Newby witnessed the aftermath of the stabbing and helped one of the victims, an "older gentleman" who was holding his abdomen and said he had been stabbed. Newby, who worked in the radiology department of a Kansas City hospital, made him sit down and helped him apply pressure to the wounds on his abdomen and left arm.
She said she saw the Nutley police officer using his right knee to hold down a man.
Christine Rottino, an elder for the Athenia Reformed Church and a friend of Baker's, said that he grew up in Clifton and married a local woman. He was expecting his first grandchild, she said. She called Baker "a dedicated church person."
Baker, she said, often got together with friends in the morning to have coffee.
Bill Sessa, another friend of Baker's, said Baker was a retired landscaper who volunteered to take care of grounds at his church. He was an "easygoing guy," Sessa said.
It was not clear Monday what kind of treatment Werner had been receiving for his mental illness. Ferentz said she kept tabs on him through friends who live in Clifton and helped him 20 years ago apply for Social Security disability. But friends and family say that Werner has been homeless for decades.
He had studied to be an engineer and worked at Hoffmann-La Roche Inc. in Nutley until he was laid off more than 20 years ago, friends and family member said. Later, they said, he began having delusions that were kept under control by medications. He once claimed, Ferentz said, that police in Florida had implanted a transmitter in his leg.
After losing his job at Hoffmann-La Roche, his ex-wife said, he got a job in quality control with another company. After the couple separated, he followed his ex-wife to Florida, where he worked in a supermarket, because he wanted to spend time with his children, Gail Werner said. He has three grandchildren, she said, with another on the way.
After he returned to Clifton, where he grew up, he began showing signs of a serious disorder, Ferentz said. But she said he was "awesome" when he was on his medications.
Werner has been charged with murder, attempted murder and weapons possession, according to the Prosecutor's Office and police chief. Bail is set at $500,000 with no 10 percent option.

Getting a wood burner finally! But I started planning a rack for the firewood and I'm confused about cord wood. OK 4'X4'X8', pretty straightforward. But two 18" logs only go 36" back, even 20" cuts would only be 40 of 48".
Wouldn't 18" logs two deep stacked 4' high and 8' long leave you 25% short? Do I look for a proper cord to then be 5' high if it's two logs deep?

Class Policies
Discounts for Animals Adopted from a Shelter or Rescue Group
We offer a discount on almost all classes for dogs adopted from animal shelters or rescue groups. We may ask for proof of adoption at your first class. You will see the option to select your rescue discount when registering online.
Class Sizes are Limited
You must register in advance for all classes by completing a registration online. You can also register by calling 415.522.3509 or by visiting one of our adoption centers [4].
Payment, Refunds and Transfers
Payment is required at time of enrollment. We accept MasterCard, Visa, Discover, American Express, personal checks and cash. There is a $15 fee for all returned checks.
Refunds or class transfers can be accommodated if we are notified at least two days before the first class session.
If, within the first three classes of a series, a dog is unable to attend the remainder of the series due to a canine injury or illness, you may receive a 50% credit toward a future class. No credits, transfers or refunds will be provided due to owner health issues or scheduling conflicts after a class series has begun. No credit, transfer or refund will be provided for any reason after the first three classes in a series.
For adopters who are required to provide proof of class registration at San Francisco Animal Care and Control in order to adopt, no refunds will be provided.
New students will not be able to join a class after the first session has taken place. If you miss a session, please contact the trainer to discuss what was covered. Make-up classes are not offered, although students may audit (attend without their dog) another instructor's equivalent week class of a missed class, if pre-arranged via the Dog Training Program Manager.
Declines and Referrals
We reserve the right to decline entry to any dog who presents behavior issues that may be dangerous, disruptive or that may be exacerbated by participation in a group class. If behavior issues are discovered during the class and the trainer determines that it is in everyone's best interest for you to seek a private trainer, you will be provided with a qualified trainer referral and a refund.
Class Cancellations
If the minimum enrollment for a class is not met prior to the first session, the class will be cancelled. We will notify you at least one day before the class is scheduled to begin to see if you would like to enroll in an alternate class, receive credit toward a future class or receive a full refund.
Unaltered Animals
We welcome all friendly dogs, whether they are altered or not. However, female dogs in their estrus cycle may not come to class. If your female begins her cycle during the course of the class, no refund will be given. The only exception to this is the Reactive Rover class where no unaltered dogs will be permitted at any time.
Aversive Equipment
The SF SPCA uses solely positive-reinforcement based methods for training. These methods are based on the latest science of animal learning and behavior, and have the added benefit of being the most effective, most humane and most fun way to train! We will encourage our students to use humane walking and training equipment, including head harnesses, front-buckle harnesses, and flat collars. Prong collars, choke collars and shock collars are not permitted in SF SPCA training classes. If you attend class with one of these devices on your dog, you will be asked to swap it out for a humane collar in order to remain in the class.
Children in Class
Children and other family members are welcome to attend our classes. Please review our guidelines:
- Children must remain seated with their parents and under parental control at all times.
- Parents must supervise their children during the entire class. For children under 18, an adult must be present for the duration of each class.
- There is no running and yelling in the classroom.
- Explain to your children that all dogs are not socialized, friendly or comfortable around children. They should not approach or pet the other dogs in class.

subroutine addcirc(radii, n, colsum) implicit none integer j, n real radii(n), colsum, area colsum = 0.0 do 50 j=1, n colsum = colsum + area(radii(j)) 50 continue return end real function area(r) implicit none real r, pi data pi /3.141592653589/ area = pi * r * r return end
When these are compiled (on the SX-6 front-end, using the sxf90 cross-compiler), as follows:
sxf90 -c -Cvopt -Wf,'-pvctl fullmsg' ex2.f
We get these messages from the compiler:
f90: vec(3): ex2.f, line 8: Unvectorized loop. f90: opt(1025): ex2.f, line 9: Reference to this function inhibits optimization. f90: vec(10): ex2.f, line 9: Vectorization obstructive procedure reference. :area
The function call in the middle of the DO loop prevents it from being vectorized. The solution is to have the compiler "inline" the function, thus removing the function call and the obstacle to vectorization. Adding the option "-pi exp=area" requests inline expansion of "area," as follows:
sxf90 -c -Cvopt -pi exp=area -Wf,'-pvctl fullmsg' ex2.f
And we get:
f90: vec(3): ex2.f, line 8: Unvectorized loop. f90: opt(1025): ex2.f, line 9: Reference to this function inhibits optimization. f90: vec(10): ex2.f, line 9: Vectorization obstructive procedure reference. :area
What happened? It turns out that the presence of the DATA statement inside the function prevents the optimizer from doing the inlining. A simple solution is to replace the DATA statement with an assignment:
real function area(r) implicit none real r, pi ! data pi /3.141592653589/ pi = 3.141592653589 area = pi * r * r return end
Recompiling again gives both inlining and vectorization, as desired:
f90: vec(1): ex2.f, line 8: Vectorized loop. f90: vec(24): ex2.f, line 8: Iteration count is assumed. Iteration count=5000 f90: opt(1222): ex2.f, line 9: Procedure expanded inline. f90: vec(26): ex2.f, line 9: Macro operation Sum/InnerProd.
Don't forget stdlib.h
Definitions for many utility functions used in C programs, including "malloc," appear in stdlib.h. If you use any of them, be sure to include stdlib.h in the appropriate files.
This example shows a problem encountered this week at ARSC, porting a program to the SX-6 that had failed to include stdlib.h:
/*------------------------------*/ /* Program: ptrsz.c */ /*------------------------------*/ #include <stdio.h> /* #include <stdlib.h> */ /*** COMMENTED OUT FOR ERROR ***/ main () { char *p; printf ("sizeof(p): %ld\n", (long) sizeof (p)); if ((p = (char*) malloc (sizeof(char) * 1)) == NULL) { printf ("malloc failed\n"); exit (1); } else { printf ("malloc succeeded\n"); } *p = 'x'; printf ("p= \'%c\'\n", *p); } /*------------------------------*/ /* end of ptrsz.c */ /*------------------------------*/
This won't work on the SX-6:
rime$ cc -o ptrsz ptrsz.c "ptrsz.c", line 9: warning: improper pointer/integer precision : op "CAST" rime$ ./ptrsz sizeof(p): 8 malloc succeeded core dumping Bus error(coredump)
We can create a similar situation on the IBM p690:
iceflyer 293% cc -q32 -o ptrsz ptrsz.c iceflyer 294% ./ptrsz sizeof(p): 4 malloc succeeded p= 'x' iceflyer 295% cc -q64 -o ptrsz ptrsz.c iceflyer 296% ./ptrsz sizeof(p): 8 malloc succeeded Segmentation fault(coredump)
The p690 can issue a warning like the SX-6, if we ask for it:
iceflyer 297% cc -qwarn64 -q64 -o ptrsz ptrsz.c "ptrsz.c", line 9.12: 1506-745 (I) 64-bit portability: possible incorrect pointer through conversion of int type into pointer. iceflyer 298% ./ptrsz sizeof(p): 8 malloc succeeded Segmentation fault(coredump)
We'll take our explanation from CSIRO's HPCCC Users' FAQ:
====================================================================== What is the meaning of the compiler message: warning: improper pointer/integer precision : op "CAST"? If you find the warning associated with "calloc" or "malloc"... the memory allocation routines are defined in stdlib.h and if this is not included, the return type of the alloc routines automatically becomes int (default). NEC's cc IS ANSI compliant. However the sizes of data types are NOT prescribed by the standard. See C Programmer's Guide, Chapter1, 1.2.7 Data Types and Sizes showing (SX5 has IEEE - float0 only): Type Size(in bits) ---- ------------- char 8 short 16 int 32 long 64 long long 64 pointer 64 float 32 double 64 long double 128 enum 32 On machines/compilers where sizeof(int) == sizeof(void*), it will of course work. But ANSI C does not require this. In fact many references on ANSI C specifically warn against this assumption. The NEC warning is because it may or may not work, but since cc has found a sizeof problem (smaller to larger) it puts out the message. Up to the programmer to see if it matters. ;-( The moral: .. add #include <stdlib.h> to the .c files or appropriate headers. ======================================================================
Following this advice, if we restore "#include <stdlib.h>" to the test program, no more core dump! The p690 case is slightly more interesting, so here you go:
iceflyer 288% cc -q32 -o ptrsz ptrsz.c iceflyer 289% ./ptrsz sizeof(p): 4 malloc succeeded p= 'x' iceflyer 290% cc -qwarn64 -q64 -o ptrsz ptrsz.c iceflyer 291% ./ptrsz sizeof(p): 8 malloc succeeded p= 'x'
You'll generally find these routines (at a minimum) declared in stdlib.h:
abs labs div ldiv atof atoi atol strtod strtol strtoul calloc malloc realloc free abort exit atexit system getenv bsearch qsort rand srand

Quick-Tip Q & A
A:[[ Perl should make this easy... but it's driving me nuts! [[ [[ In this example, I want to use search and replace to eliminate [[ the bold html tags from some lyrics I've been working on, replacing [[ the formerly emboldened text with the same text, prefaced by the [[ word "really". E.g.: [[ [[ The weather is here, I wish [[ you were mine, the sky is so [[ cloudy, I sleep and I pine. [[ [[ Here's my perl script: [[ [[ #!/usr/local/bin/perl -w [[ [[ $all = join '', <>; [[ $all =~ s (.*) really $1 gsi; [[ print "$all"; [[ [[ The script puts the entire file into one string so it can search [[ across line breaks. The modifiers to "s" are: [[ [[ g : match every occurance (not just the first) [[ s : match newline characters with "." [[ i : ignore case [[ [[ Here's the output: [[ [[ The weather is here, I really wish [[ you were mine, the sky is so [[ cloudy, I sleep and I pine. [[ [[ You can see for yourself what happened. Has anyone else ever had [[ this problem? What can I do? # # Thanks to Olivier Golinelli, Rich Griswold, and Steve Deitz. Here # are two of the three explanations. # The symbol * matches the MAXIMAL number of characters. You must replace the MINIMAL number of characters with *? Then : $all =~ s (.*?) really $1 gsi; ##### ##### ##### The problem is that .* is greedy. From the perlre manpage: By default, a quantified subpattern is "greedy", that is, it will match as many times as possible (given a particular starting location) while still allowing the rest of the pattern to match. If you want it to match the minimum number of times possible, follow the quantifier with a "?". Note that the meanings don't change, just the "greediness": *? Match 0 or more times +? Match 1 or more times ?? Match 0 or 1 time {n}? Match exactly n times {n,}? Match at least n times {n,m}? Match at least n but not more than m times Simply replacing .* with .*? in your regex will do the trick. Q: What's an easier way to get the value of pi into my C/C++ or Fortran programs?

In late July, engineers at the University of Queensland in Australia wowed the aerospace community when they flight-tested an experimental supersonic-combustion ramjet (or "scramjet") engine. Unlike conventional rocket engines, which must carry oxidizer on board, ramjets and scramjets take in air from the atmosphere and compress it enough to burn. Scramjets do so while letting the air pass through them at supersonic velocities—an impressive feat not unlike keeping a candle lit in a hurricane. Although the scramjet idea is decades old, these engines have yet to show their worth in real applications. But after the technical roadblocks are overcome, scramjets could one day power hypersonic missiles with great efficiency and may even help lift vehicles into space more cheaply than the current generation of boosters.
How long that might take is unclear. One hurdle is that scramjet engines are inherently difficult to try out because they operate only when they are taking in air at several times the speed of sound. Although these conditions can be simulated in ground tests, the methods used to accelerate air to these speeds introduce troubling uncertainties. So scramjet designers have labored to try out their creations under real operating conditions.
The Australian team adopted a novel solution to the problem. Rather than attempting to send their device horizontally through the sky for a lengthy test flight, they launched it on a parabolic trajectory into space and tested it for a few seconds on the way down, as it plunged back into the atmosphere. This maneuver allowed them to evaluate the operation of their device while it was traveling at about eight times the speed of sound, or, in the parlance of the trade, at Mach 8.
Onboard sensors confirmed that combustion occurred in one of two parallel chambers. This did not, however, reflect a partial misfire: The second chamber was purposely not provided with fuel, so that the engineers would know exactly what physical changes burning produced. According to Myles Frost, a member of the Australian team, flight data indicated that air flowed through the combustion chamber at about Mach 2.7, clearly qualifying it as supersonic combustion.
Press releases from the University of Queensland proudly announced that the Australian investigators had made the world's first successful flight test of scramjet technology. A Reuters report even noted that the team regarded confirmation of their scramjet's operation as one of the most significant technological advances since American Chuck Yeager became the first person to break the sound barrier in 1947. The Australian flight is indeed an aviation milestone, but it's not so clear that it should be regarded as the first time a scramjet engine was successfully flight-tested.
A little more than a year before, engineers from GASL, a New York company, had successfully flight-tested a scramjet-powered projectile at Arnold Air Force Base in Tennessee. The "flight" in this case took place within a long test chamber filled with air at a pressure equal to conditions at 50,000 feet. Rather than using a rocket to get the scramjet up to speed, technicians at this Air Force facility fired it from the large gun housed at the base expressly for testing high-velocity projectiles. "We certainly did get flight test data," says Anthony Castrogiovanni, president of GASL, noting that sending a scramjet through Arnold's experimental chamber is really not all that different from sending one through the atmosphere high above the Earth, "It is air and it is, in fact, free flight."
Asked whether the GASL trials last year constituted a prior successful flight test of a scramjet, Frost answers, "Technically, no," noting that "it's a simulated environment." But he adds that "the environment is pretty damn good," which in his view makes the issue a matter of semantics as to whether one should regard such an experiment as a ground test or a flight test. Perhaps the Solomon-like assessment is to consider the GASL experience, to borrow Frost's words, "a successful ground-based flight test."
But there are other reasons to question the conclusion that the recent Australian flight constitutes the first demonstration of a scramjet high in the sky. A combination ramjet-scramjet engine designed and built by engineers at Russia's Central Institute for Aviation Motors was repeatedly tested during the 1990s using a surface-to-air missile to accelerate it to operational speeds. Two trials were conducted jointly with French engineers, including François Falempin, who reports that the Russian engine achieved a speed of Mach 5.7 and that within its combustion chamber "we measured the average Mach number always above one." Further tests made jointly with NASA pushed the Russian scramjet even faster. These were carried out in the dead of the Siberian winter so that the extreme cold would make the fuel on the missile denser than normal, allowing more to be packed in and increasing the top speed to about Mach 6.5.
John Hicks, then of NASA's Dryden Research Center, spearheaded the NASA effort to help test the Russian engine. He notes that the 70 seconds or so of flight data they obtained in 1998 are open to different interpretations, depending on the computational codes used to infer the conditions at various points within the engine. According to Hicks, his Russian colleagues concluded that the engine had indeed managed supersonic combustion, whereas his coworkers at NASA's Langley Research Center were more skeptical.
One of the skeptics at Langley was Randy Voland, who explains that it is very hard to get fully supersonic combustion at Mach 6.5. He and his colleagues published a report on the experiment describing various technical malfunctions and concluding that flow in the combustion chamber was "primarily subsonic." That report helps explain why the Australian engineers concluded that they had pulled off a first. Yet Voland allows that "the core probably was supersonic" and notes simply that "we were looking for something purer."
Voland isn't, however, willing to credit the Australians with the first successful test flight of a scramjet engine. He points out that the Australians were not flying a true engine: "It was more of a fundamental combustor test than an engine test." His assertion has considerable merit, given that the Australian device exhausted its combustion products out the side and did not produce thrust by sending them rearward, which, after all, is the very definition of jet propulsion. In contrast, the Russian scramjet generated, according to Hicks, 1,500 newtons (or about 340 pounds) of thrust and thus provided some acceleration.
So when exactly did the first scramjet fly? Credit for that aviation milestone is indeed difficult to sort out. It's not nearly as clear, say, as the first nonstop flight across the Atlantic: That happened, as everyone knows, with Alcock and Brown's flight in 1919.—David Schneider

Could someone tell me some hints to estimate probability of surviving a winter in TBH.
without inspecting all combs by comb.
I am in Chicago vicinity environment. It is getting cold and temperature is dropping progressively to above 60 during a day. Bees are still flying and bringing some pollen but this will stop when temperature drops below 60 soon.
My hives are ÂVÂ shaped, TB is 22Â , about 10Â deep.
How many combs should I expect at this time a year to estimate probability of surviving an average winter without internal feeder. (first year)
I know that it depends on a few things, but TBH beekeepers have to have some experience to generalize their opinion, I think.
My bees are Italian. There are 13 to 16 combs in 3 hives. The last 3 combs are partial and almost empty, and not covered by bees. I did not feed them, but several days ago I gave them syrup ( about 2 quarts) and they drink it like crazy, but I didnÂt notice any build up of combs. What did they do with it? Probably just has got fat.
I will be glad to hear and appreciate yours opinion.
Also, what is large cluster, small cluster, strong or weak hive? I have a window so I can see how many combs are covered with bees to have some idea of this terminology.

I am happy with my 30 year old Rockwell and my much newer Delta. I see a lot of Deltas for sale on Craigslist here.
i did alot of research before i bought the delta. came across sooo many bad reviews. things such as parts missing, table wing extension didnt line up or had a cup to them. in all honesty i assembled the saw myself and am very pleased with how it works. only thing i dont like is that i had some complications getting a throat plate for a dado head. they sent me the wrong part twice. saw is pricey but worth it. for years i wanted a saw with a big extionship to make working plywood easier.
so awesome having a sawdust collection built in also
Greg Stahlman; Stahlman Apiaries Inc.
Thanks for taking the time to lay out a little more of the issues in the maze.
I was actually thinking of spending more like $1000. The Grizzly kind of got my attention......that is until Tom and Greg got me thinking Delta. Wow Greg you guys really went high end, not sure I can quite justify that unless I find a buy on a used one. Have to do some more research on dealers and freight costs. thanks all for the input.
"People will generally accept facts as truth only if the facts agree with what they already believe."- Andy Rooney
Jim, will this be used for making woodenware? If so, The Grizzly is simply overkill. You're not making fine furniture here. Unless you're planning to go into production as a business, you will be hard pressed to out use a Rockwell/Delta contractor saw, at least the older ones. Contractors use their saws day in and day out.
Regards, Barry
It's by no means the best saw out there, but for convenience and ease of storage I've been using a Rigid from home depot.
It has done the trick for me so far. I've been remodeling the house and adding an addition and it has held up well to all of that and the mobility has been a Godsend. All the parts I use pretty much store on the cart so I'm less prone to lose things when I'm moving around. I started building some boxes and frames on it recently and it has done alright at that as well. My only beef so far has been that it has a composit top, which though it works well and is obviously lighter I can't use my magnetic stops on. Some day I plan to get a floor model for the shop in the barn, but really I haven't been able to justify the expense because the cheaper one has done all I've asked. I will note that blade change is a snap, but it just barely will hold a 3/4inch Dado on the arbor. Of course going larger than that would probably overwork the saw. I also have a nice dual bevel sliding miter saw that takes some of the workload of my tablesaw.
I went through the a similar thing about a year ago. My little saw was not cutting it but I did not have the room or the dough for a big saw. I kinda went down the middle and got a used craftsman cast iron contractors saw thats about 30 years old. Its been an awesome machine. I wish they made something like this still. Nothing in the big box stores is going to really fit the bill...its all cheap.
If you want to get a big table...Biesemeyer Fence all the way. A lot of guys take an old craftsman and take the wings, legs, etc off and mount a Biesemeyer on it. Then you can make a rolling cart for it all to set on. 50" rip capacity. Pretty much the optimal setup.

Mythomane; you can buy those (extension cords) in stores, just not in your big box stores. We use them all the time in the construction business and guess what? We get inspected by OSHA on a regular basis and they have found no fault with them. If you have 220 volt tools on a job site and the power pole is 75-100 feet away how do you suppose you get power to where you need it? BTW, explain the difference to me of a 30' power cord attached to a 220 v. motor and an extension cord of the same size to feed that motor. And, yes I'm well familiar with the effect of "length" and conductor size on a power source.
I went to my "Go To" group when it comes to the latest in the know about shop equipment.
for a small saw (easy to store) but accurate and strong this is the first recommendation.
Problem is it is not longer available from Ryobi. you will have to find one used.
IT was mentioned that Seas now makes a copy of it but the model number was not given for the Craftsman version.
Another Craftsman model that was recommended was this.
Okay that was my shot at finding the best bang for your buck and still keep it semi storable.
Keep in mind you can get rolling stands for the larger saws to help in the keeping it out of the way issue.
That last one looks a lot like what I own. It has problems but only minor irritating ones. A fence that is not all that accurate, the blade insert is flakey, Table top is to small for me but anything less than 4X8 will be and a miter gauge slot that is not standard.
I almost bought the saw mr. c showed a link to, but instead bought http://www.homedepot.com/Tools-Hardw...atalogId=10053 which I am completely grateful for. Takes 6" dado packs and I had to make the throat plates but other than that is an excellent saw.
Check out the Jet JPS-30. Great features/great price. Dados on table saws are real finger killers unless you know what your doing, and your setting up to make furniture. Pain in the butt setting them up. For making beekeeping equipment buy a good router and bench, thats really all you need. Then your set up to knock stuff out.

Regards, Barry
I was wondering what everyone thinks of the shopsmith 5 in one? I have a chance to get a verygood used one. for a song(<100.00) I checked it out every thing is there. bearings tight. spindle true. router plane and table flat and clean.
I picked one up last week. I haven't had a chance to put it through its paces yet, but I think it is weakest as a table saw...the other functions don't seem to suffer for being a combo tool. I would not want one as my only tablesaw.
the speed control mechanism is clever. Very well built...better than one would expect for a.combo tool.
At the shop I use heavy duty equipment. at home I use a RIGID 10" direct drive table saw,
it tilts the right way, has a great locking fence, 110 volt. miter it comes with is great.
its the middle of the road on the light side. It folds for storage and is quite powerful for
the price of 499.00 at H.D.
If you use a good carbide blade, you will love this great table saw.

Mythomane, I just did a search for those cords but am not coming up with anything from "Common" sources. I do know for a fact they exist. They will give you a hernia trying to lug one around though. they even come in dryer outlet or range outlet configurations (there is a difference in the outlets).
I work for a University and having 220 power is as common as 110. and they go up from there with there power supplies. I see the 220 v cords all over the place. They are not intended for permanent power any more than any other cord. but they do exist and are used on any outlet that has 220 v.
In fact next time you are in the extension cord isle look for the replacement cord ends you will find one style that has one of the prongs sideways. That is a 220v cord end for a regular size extension cord. walk around in some buildings and you will see outlets that allow a regular plug end or one of these sideways ones to fit. plug in a wayside pronged cord and you are hooked up to 220 volts. It is not common for most people to ever need that so most don't even know about it. Not a lot of people own much that requires 220 volts to operate.
[QUOTE=Daniel Y;730933

I don't doubt they have power like that at universities. Or factories or such. They have R&D and EXPERIMENTS to conduct. I bet the OSHA guy is not coming around checking the molecular accelerator every day, though. If they did nothing would ever be invented, let alone built. As far as construction, which is what I was talking about -- it is nice to have access like that if you are remodeling and I have a very few times needed access to voltage like that, but for construction purposes it is usually overkill or unnecessary. I have very few portable 220v tools. I have had to plug in a jackhammer to 220v more than once, but it has a very long cord anyway. And let me say I stand corrected on the fact that they do sell them online. Looks like I was wrong. I do not think I will be buying one though (thanks for the link, Barry) as its $400 for the 6/4 cord plus shipping, plus the ends you need. In my defense all you are really buying here is bundled wire. You are making the cord up yourself. Almost every crew I know has cut into an extension or we have had to work in the rain, etc. That is a lot of amps feeding through there. I just can't think of what I would hook up to it that I would need, unless it was Mafell/Euro stuff for a specialized tool. It would be easier just to use the generator which I have around anyway or my step-up transformer. I guess it would be nice to have for a rainy day -- if it wasn't raining.

Mythomane; think welding, 220 volt table saws, pumps, etc, etc, etc, etc,. Ever do any commercial construction? Ever try to build a steel structure without welding? Every temporary power pole we put on a job has 220 available, residential or commercial, and inspected by the building department before they will turn power on. And the vast majority of our inspectors in FL are retired builders, electricians, plumbers, civil engineers. BTW, thank you Barry for the links. I usually just have my electrician provide or make up the extensions and pay him megadollars for them!

text: The NFC East is very disappointing this year. What should have been a tough conference is not. The Redskins, well still are the Redskins. The Eagles same old same old not playing as a team unless against the Giants. Dallas, as JJ saais, time is running out on Romo and the rest yesterday they just sqeaked by the 26th rated defense and in OT at that. The Giants, well, even with their inconsistent offense and a shadow of their former defenser has them on top of a hapless division. So, it's a strain to stay on the positive side of the ball when even I, a non-football-expert, can figure out the playbook and call the next offensive play, and the "D" even Ryan of Dallas has figured out how to beat Fewell and he couldn't contain the worst team in football yesterday. Just sayin', while I'm waiting for coroner's report on cause of death

Local hospital and insurance company re-negotiating rates
JOHNSON CITY, Tenn. - A local health system is trying to find common ground when it comes to rates with an insurance company.
The negotiations are between Blue Cross Blue Shield and Mountain States Health Alliance.
Officials with Mountain States tell us this is common to re-negotiate rates with insurance companies and some kind of agreement is expected.
But with the recent health care reform and cuts to Medicare, there are challenges in these talks.
"In the face of all those fragile reimbursement cuts, the commercial insurance companies are coming at us not with negotiating increases, they're demanding cuts to our existing reimbursement rates," said Tony Benton, MSHA Vice President of Marketing and Communications.
We've learned the deadline for an agreement with Blue Cross Blue Shield is June 1st.

Outreach from the Town of Danville
Original post made by Geoff Gillette, Danville, on Mar 19, 2012
In a recent thread there was some discussion about the outreach from the Town of Danville. In the past few years, we have really stepped up our efforts in this regard, so I thought I would take a few moments and outline how the Town is working to get information out to our residents on the many projects, programs and events here in Danville.
Web page: Our Town webpage www.danville.ca.gov has a great deal of information about the Town, the departments, programs and services. The front page has links to all of the departments, as well as our community calendar, our "how do I" section and our "what's new" section. "What's new" carries short articles about things happening around Town. As new articles come online the older ones go into an archive.
Project pages: Because there is a great deal of interest in development here in Danville, the Town instituted the creation of project pages on the website. Project pages give all of the relevant information about a current development application, as well as a blog updated with the latest steps in the development process and a means of contacting the planner responsible for the application.
Social Media: A recent addition to the Town's outreach efforts is social media. The Town has established a page on Facebook www.facebook.com/danvilleca. Two other place pages are also available, one for the Danville PD www.facebook.com/danvillecapolice and the Village Theatre and Art Gallery www.facebook.com/villagetheatredanville . Information items are posted on those pages throughout the week. A Twitter account @DanvilleInfo has also been established and the Town sends out tweets on a variety of topics such as the closure of the grass fields due to rain to the progress of the procession carrying Lnc. Cpl. Corral through the downtown. Pictures from Town events are posted on a Flickr account and videos are posted on both YouTube and Vimeo.
Publications: The Town's Activity Guide is published to inform residents of upcoming classes and events. Seniors are able to hear more about the services available to them in the Silver Streak and Recreation Services puts out an e-mail newsletter.
e-News: e-News is an e-mail subscription service. Interested individuals can sign up to have notices sent to them on a variety of subjects. Any time a notice or informational release is sent out, a copy is e-mailed to the subscriber.
Press releases: Information is sent to the press on a regular basis for use in their online and print publications.
The Town works to be as transparent and available to our residents as possible. Go to our pages and 'like' them, utilize our Twitter feed or subscribe to e-News. We welcome input on how better to communicate with our residents.
Hope this helps give a sense of the various channels of communication used by the Town of Danville.
Have a great day.

There seems to be a big increase recently in suspicious strangers who do not live in the neighborhood going door to door allegedly seeking donations for alleged charities or trying to sell something. While some may be legitimate, often it looks like they are up to no good and may be casing neighborhood to see who is home.
Does Danville have an ordinance dealing with this like some other cities, such as requiring they register, or limit hours, etc? Is there a non-emergency number with Danville police we can call so they can check these people out? I think it would be good deterrent to criminals if they knew neighbors will call and report suspicious people to the police.
Thank you.

Dear Editor,
As part of the No HOME out of VIEW presentation at the AIA Public Safety Fair, Creekside Church, Alamom, on Saturday, March 24, 2012, the answers to "no solicitation" will be provided as a neighborhood practice in our region. A home with a posted no solicitation sign does not have to acknowledge any door-to-door activity and may ask the solicitors to leave the property and call the police if they don't.

on Mar 21, 2012 at 9:29 pm
To the first poster...don't you think it would be useful to say which neighborhood you are talking about? I live on the south side of town on the east side of 680 and haven't seen anyone.
a resident of Danville
on Mar 22, 2012 at 9:51 am
Thanks for your information. It's all good stuff.....and you do (and have done) a good job of "talking" to us.
I think that the EARLIER comments/postings were about "not getting enough notification and notice" of certain things (usually property/zoning changes) happening in the area.
Just to focus on that issue for a second:
One of the problems I have is with this whole notion (as utilized by the legal system) that ONLY THE PEOPLE WHO LIVE WITHIN "X" FEET OF THE SUBJECT PROPERTY are interested in what is being proposed to happen to that property. Only they need to receive official notice. Only they are primarially interested and affected by this proposal.
I know that MAILINGS cost a lot of money and that is a primary reason why a certain perimeter is established. But in today's Internet society, that excuse shouldn't continue to hold water.
In reality, the changes (zoning, etc) to properties affect many people and far beyond that limited distance perimeter.
I know that I am interested in and ultimately affected by what happens with freeway exits in San Ramon, with Danville freeway construction projects, with Danville lane changes around the Sycamore/680 part of town (and with many roads throughout the East Bay), by happenings to the Caldecott Tunnels and Bay Bridges, by construction and traffic around Green Valley (and by any school, as well), by the addition of huge solar systems, by brightly colored signs posted all over cell towers, etc..........AND NONE OF THESE PROPERTIES IS WITHIN 100-500-1000 feet of my house, so I don't get direct official notice.
I try to stay informed about what is happening. Yet, even I, find out about some things after-the-fact or after-it's-too-late.
***There needs to be a newly conceived system about HOW to get the info out and about WHO really wants/needs/should get the info. Only abiding by the "legal requirement" is INSUFFICIENT for us.

Good morning,
Thanks for the question about solicitors. This is an issue that we hear about from time to time and seems to be somewhat seasonal. The facts of door-to-door solicitation are these:
• Solicitors must be permitted through Contra Costa County. Solicitors must show you the permit if requested
If you are concerned about a person soliciting, contact the Police Department at (925) 820-2144.
If the police are made aware of it, they can send an officer to check the person's permit and make sure that they are conducting legitimate business.
A few other tips as well: at no time should you invite a solicitor into your home. Nor give them any personal information such as driver's license numbers or social security. The best way to keep solicitors from coming to your home is to put up a no solicitors sign.
Hope this helps. Any further questions about solicitors or the ordinances regarding door-to-door solicitation, contact the police department at (925) 314-3700.
@Fandanville – I am looking into the questions you raised regarding notifications and will try to post a response in the next few days.
Have a great day!

Mr. Gillette: Thank you for the information, appreciate it.

Good afternoon,
I just wanted to take a few moments and respond to the questions posed by Fandanville regarding notification on projects/zoning changes etc. We have always tried to maintain the highest possible standards in regards to getting information out, and with all the new avenues of communication available we are working to adapt to the changing times.
To start with, let me address the issue of notifying residents within a certain distance of a project area. The law says that we need to do that and that has to be done in specific ways. We are required to post it at the Town Offices, in the legal section of the newspaper and send it to those residents within 300 feet.
As I mentioned before, we do this out to 750 feet, and in the case of the Podva development application we extended it to 1,000 feet so the neighborhood affected by the development would be completely notified. We do this so that neighborhoods have a good sense for
what is happening around them.
It is true in the digital age that there are ways of getting information out. And we are certainly trying to do that. The easiest way is to subscribe to our e-News service. You can choose what you want to be informed on. For the types of things mentioned, I would recommend signing up for agendas. Those will always have information on upcoming public hearings etc.
In the case of larger development applications, you can sign up to receive information specific to them. Examples are the Veterans Memorial Building project and the Elworthy project.
In addition, the Town creates project pages on our website www.danville.ca.gov where all of the documentation on a project is posted and a development blog is provided. The blog updates on the status of a project as it goes through the process.
On a more nuts and bolts level, when a development application is received a large sign is placed on the affected property describing the project and providing a contact phone number for the Town Planner assigned to that application. Principal Planner David Crompton makes himself available to answer development questions. He can be reached at firstname.lastname@example.com.
We are doing everything we can to make information about Town programs, projects, services etc. as accessible as we can. That being said, we are always interested in hearing suggestions on how we can better get the word out to our residents. We are still working on the best use of our new social media platforms and we will be continuing to expand those efforts to reach the largest number of our citizens that we can.
Thanks for the question, hope this helps.

Thank you for the information regarding outreach. But, in the private sector we try to measure the efficacy of what we do. How have you tried to measure the effectiveness of what you are doing and what are the results from residents on whether or not they see a difference?
I'm not trying to be rude, but, just because you are doing work does not mean it is effective.

Reviews of this property
We were three friend that met up and stayed in this flat for 4 nights. John met us there with explanations and the keys. He was very friendly and helpful responding immediately when we had a query. The flat was clean and very pleasant and John had provided everything we needed for the stay. The flat was 20 minutes walk from centre of Edinburgh and VERY quiet at night. Thanks for a great stay. Inger, Liv and Maggi
Everything was perfect, clean apartment close to the center
A small point, if you book with 6 people and take a shower, take careful with hot water, showering otherwise the latter with cold water.
Alles was perfect, schoon appartement en dicht bij het centrum
Een kleine opmerking, als je met 6 mensen boekt en ga douchen, opletten met warm water nemen, anders douchen de laatsten met koud water.
Simple but effective. Passionate and helpful landlord? Quiet area, fairly centrally located. Edinburgh is a must!
Eenvoudig maar doeltreffend. Enthousiate en behulpzame verhuurder? Rustige omgeving, redelijk centraal gelegen. Edinburg is een aanrader!
The apartment looks very good, it's clean, the beds are fine, the linens nice. The kitchen was well equipped, plenty of everything and even coffee and tea and other immediate necessities were present.
Our host John was very friendly and explained to us how well everything worked.
We sometimes had to sigh because of the three stages ....
How nice was that the center was easy to walk and there are many buses.
Het appartement ziet er erg goed uit, het is schoon, de bedden zijn prima, het beddengoed mooi. De keuken was uitstekend voorzien, van alles genoeg en zelfs koffie en thee en andere directe benodigdheden waren aanwezig.
Onze Host John was heel vriendelijk en heeft ons goed uitgelegd hoe alles in elkaar zat.
We moesten weleens zuchten vanwege de drie trappen....
Wat fijn was dat het centrum makkelijk aan te lopen was en er veel bussen rijden.
Well located, clean, nice apartment in quiet area and near the bus.
Bien situé, propre, appartement agréable dans quartier tranquille et à proximité des bus.
John was such a nice and helpful person who answered all of our questions.
The apartment is close to all public sightsseing places and you can reach them easily by walking for about 20 minutes. All bedrooms are clean, quiet and reeeaaaally confi, gosh, I slept so deep in those beds.
Thank you for everything John. I will recommend your apartment for sure!
Great Individual stay, walk 15 minutes walk to the center. Shops and restaurants around the corner. Owner very helpful. 3rd floor / no elevator. For wheelchairs rather nix
Toller Individual-Aufenthalt, Fußweg 15 Minuten Fußweg ins Zentrum. Einkaufsmöglichkeiten und Restaurants um die Ecke. Vermieter sehr hilfsbereit. 3. Stock / kein Fahrstuhl. Für Rollis eher nix
Beautiful apartment, the Royal Mile is just a 20 - 25 minutes walk away and John gave great advise where to go during our stay in Edinburgh. There was also a well sorted information folder about sightseeing. We spent a great week there!
Great !!! Well it located, equipped and clean. John great host.

2Day FM, DJs Michael Christian And Mel Greig Criticized Over Kate Middleton Prank Call After Nurse's Death
Australian radio station 2Day FM and two of its DJs Michael Christian and Mel Greig are facing intense criticism for their prank call to London's King Edward VII Hospital, the hospital where Kate Middleton was being treated for hyperemesis gravidarum until Thursday.
On Friday, one of the nurses who took a phone call from the radio station, Jacintha Saldanha, was found dead. The Daily Mail is reporting she committed suicide. The story broke at 9:30 a.m. ET, at around 2:30 p.m. GMT, or around 1:30 a.m. in Sydney where 2Day FM is based. Later on Friday afternoon, Australian media reported that both hosts would not be returning to 2Day FM until further notice.
The station's statement was posted on their Facebook page:
Southern Cross Austereo (SCA) and 2Day FM are deeply saddened by the tragic news of the death of nurse Jacintha Saldanha from King Edward VII's Hospital and we extend our deepest sympathies to her family and all that have been affected by this situation around the world.
Chief Executive Officer Rhys Holleran has spoken with the presenters, they are both deeply shocked and at this time we have agreed that they not comment about the circumstances. SCA and the hosts have decided that they will not return to their radio show until further notice out of respect for what can only be described as a tragedy.
Christian and Greig called the hospital earlier in the week and impersonated the Queen. The hosts were able to get a nurse on the air who divulged a few details about Kate Middleton's condition.
The report resulted in a chorus of criticism from around the world directed at the radio station. Dozens of comments have been left on the story featuring the prank call which 2Day FM has online. The prank is still featured prominently on the radio station's website and the station is reportedly still playing clips from the prank on air.
The station has not posted a response on its Twitter account and DJs Michael Christian and Mel Greig have reportedly deleted their Twitter accounts.
On Twitter, many are calling for the DJs to be fired.
The station has also been getting hundreds of complaints on its Facebook page, and several posts have been deleted.
"Shame, Shame, Shame on you for employing such stupid and thoughtless people as your DJs. This poor nurse had the world knowing that she had been fooled by these ignorant people. Words can't express the disgust I feel," wrote one woman on Facebook. Her post has since been deleted.
This isn't the first time 2Day FM has faced controversy. The Daily Mail reported that the radio station once forced a 14-year-old girl to confess to being raped.
Australian broadcast regulators have also issued warnings against the station about its content.
Read more complaints against the radio station on Twitter:
Ozzie radio station 2Day FM currently replaying hoax call, even after its two DJs delete Twitter accounts after death of hospital nurse
The two DJs on the Australian radio show 2day fm should be ashamed for their hoax call driving that poor nurse to suicide. #royalhoaxcall
Radio station 2Day Fm should be shut down and the djs sacked! ! Disgusting behaviour!!!
It wasn't even a funny prank in the first place. There's even a petition to get the two Aussie DJs off-air: http://t.co/wb4E7YKq"
Whoever is running the 2Day FM Facebook page is now deleting whole posts with abandon! Car crash social media management
http://t.co/SYfABdnj "The British media has turned on 2day Fm since finding"on-air scandals". Bulls**t. British media is right for once
2Day FM will now forever be imprinted upon my mind as malicious, unfunny and thoughtless.
My nomination for Bastards of the week goes to Radio DJs Mel Greig and Michael Christian, from Sydney's 2Day FM station http://t.co/akOELwuO
There's even a petition to get the two Aussie DJs off-air: http://t.co/R6QbBpOs
Hope the 2Day FM Radio DJs never make another prank call for 'entertainment' purposes, whether 'with the best intentions' or not. Sickening!
Strange that 2Day FM in Oz keep deleting the comments being made on there facebook page # 2Day FM
Radio station 2Day Fm should be shut down and the djs sacked! ! Disgusting behaviour!!!

|ACS 2009-3yr Summary File: Technical Documentation -> Appendix A. Supplemental Documentation -> 2009 Subject Definitions -> Housing Variables -> Kitchen Facilities
Data on kitchen facilities were obtained from Housing Question 8d-f in the 2009 American Community Survey. The question was asked at both occupied and vacant housing units. A unit has complete kitchen facilities when it has all three of the following facilities: (d) a sink with a faucet, (e) a stove or range, and (f) a refrigerator. All kitchen facilities must be located in the house, apartment, or mobile home, but they need not be in the same room. A housing unit having only a microwave or portable heating equipment such as a hot plate or camping stove should not be considered as having complete kitchen facilities. An icebox is not considered to be a refrigerator. Kitchen facilities provide an indication of living standards and assess the quality of household facilities within the housing inventory. These data provide assistance in determining areas that are eligible for programs and funding, such as Meals on Wheels. The data also serve to aid in the development of policies based on fair market rent, and to identify areas in need of rehabilitation loans or grants.
Question/Concept History
The 1996-1998 American Community Survey questions asked whether the house or apartment had complete kitchen facilities, requiring that the three facilities all be in the same unit. In 1999, "mobile home" was added to the question, along with the capitalization of the word "COMPLETE" for emphasis. Starting in 2008, the structure of the question changed and combined kitchen facilities with plumbing facilities and telephone service availability into one question to ask, "Does this house, apartment, or mobile home have-" and provided the respondent with a "Yes" or "No" checkbox for each component needed for complete facilities. Also in 2008, the component "sink with piped water" was changed to "sink with a faucet."
Caution should be used when comparing American Community Survey data on kitchen facilities from the years 2008 and after with both pre-2008 ACS and Census 2000 data. Changes made to the kitchen facilities question between the 2007 and 2008 ACS involving the wording, the response option, and translation to the Spanish questionnaire resulted in an inconsistency in the ACS data. This inconsistency in the data was most noticeable as an increase in housing units "lacking complete kitchen facilities."

This mod is a great idea but I can't get the F1, F4 recruit etc., to work. The keybindings may be overlapped by other mods? Any clues to fixes from anyone would be great thanks.

Hi hippiecommunist: log shows it fails to detect game version (I'm on 188.8.131.52). Are you able to switch to having game version as an INI line? Or update the mod please?
