Hey internet friends (and maybe a few stalkers I don't know about), come say hello to me at the AR2006 conference. I'm volunteering at the Viva! table. I'd be superpsyched to meet you guys and to load your goodie bags up with some of the great vegan/AR resources from Viva! so that you can spread the good vegan word to the folks back home.
For those of you who aren't attending the conference, I'll be chronicling my adventures daily on SuperVegan (if I can get my hands on a computer with internet connection–fingers crossed). Thus giving you an opportunty to live life in the fast lane via Olivia Lane. Oh yeah!

Door Skin Patch Panel Install Question
I am trying to repair the bottom of a 1958 Chevy truck door. I have installed the inner door patch panel and am at the point where I am ready to install the outer patch panel but would appreciate some guideance from someone familar with this repair.
I have tacked the upper seam in place but the proper/best method to fold the edges over the door shell escapes me.
Anyone out there familar with this?

There is more than one way to skin a Cat-I use a regular Body Hammer, but they make a Hammer specifically to do this-anyway, I will start at one end of the 'Skin, and start the edge folding with the Hammer, backing it with either a rubber Dolley, or a rubber Trowel so that I don't mar the outer skin, slowly working the edge over the inner Door Panel-take it slow, fold a little at a time, and work your way around the Door-you don't want to try to fold it all over in one place, just work your way around the Door-
Here's what a Door Skin Hammer looks like-
door skin.......
Hi,when i did this,i clamped the door skin to match up with the cut skin,then marked the bottom (NEW PIECE),then made my bottom fold before welding the top seam,i made the NEW PIECE about 1/4 inch longer,then ground that piece to match the original door skin.
I like to view it as moving it in 3 increments. Do one increment all over, then do two all over, then hammer it down flat. This way you won't damage the outer skin. When you're doing a patch skin sometimes it's gonna wanna suck down on you so you have to prop it up to the proper contour before welding, especially true if you flange the existing old metal. If you flange the lower small patch like that you may stretch it and the bottom edge of the door won't be straight. Another option is a backing strip but I usually just flange it and deal with propping it up when needed. Not usually a big deal but something to account for. Also make sure your door frame has an even flange that's straight. If it's not straight your metal you are folding may follow it's shape.
Here is a "Basics" on door skins (click here) which is basically what you are doing, half of a door skin. Sanding the edge as described in the "basics" would be a big help so it will fold easier.

First you start with the outer skin get it fitted with the lips folded at a 90 degree angle , use a couple drill screws to hold it in place ,they'll also help you remove and replace it in the same spot every time...Once the outer skin is set in place you can remove the inner piece and know exactly where it goes according to the outterskin thats already in place...When you have the inner all welded in you remove the outter skin and and work the back side of the inner you just welded in,then get it epoxied then epoxy the outter skins backside and put it on with the screws (I like using a flanged lap joint so it wont warp plus you need it when you use screws...fold the skin over with the skinning hammer or a cheap body hammer that you ground one side straight so it will skin better (but not near as good as a skinning hammer) and the dolly then weld up the seam...I use plug welds every two inches and then weld the seam all the way across one spot weld at a time...
great advice, guys and nice work.

Palette rememberance
Should Mathematica remember ALL open palettes from one "session" to the
next? Or does it remember only those in the primary path? I'm asking
because one of my palettes that resides in an Addons/Applications/ ...
/FrontEnd/Palettes directory has stopped appearing when I start up
Please don't tell me I need to do the cache-clearing startup thing,
because last time I did that, it took me hours to get everything back
to normal.

A Known Crime Ring Strikes in Gainesville
In 2009 identity theft cost Americans 54 billion dollars according to the Identity Theft Resource Center. And a crime ring specializing in fraud has made a hit in Gainesville, reminding us that identity theft can happen to anyone.
Lieutenant Jaret Weiland of the Gainesville Police Department said, "They drive up and down the interstate and target places that they know people are gonna leave items in the car."
The crime ring known as "Felony Lane" has been operating for over a year in counties along Florida's interstate and the Gainesville Police Department said they have two members in their custody.
Rick Jason Green and Joshua Mason Virtanen were arrested on Friday. Police said they broke into an employee's car at Gainesville Health and Fitness on Newberry Road, stealing his wallet and then going on a spending spree around Gainesville.
A clerk at Champs called police after they tried to use a cancelled card. Also, a Target employee remembered their vehicle description because he helped the two men load purchased items into their car. Their help allowed police to track down Green and Virtanen within 24 hours of the crime.
But Lieutenant Weiland said that although they caught the suspects relatively quickly, there isn't always such a speedy resolution. Which is another reason why it's so important not to provide criminals with any opportunity to steal your identity.
Lieutenant Weiland said if you are deliberate about protecting your valuables, it will go a long way towards ensuring you don't become part of the troubling identity theft statistics.
There are resources available to learn how to protect yourself...go to www.idtheftcenter.org

" Genre: Fiction / Author: Jilly Cooper OBE / Hardcover / 768 Pages / Book is published 2010-09-16 by Bantam Press "
* Prices may differ from that shown
Confession time: I own several Jilly Cooper novels, starting from the 1980s blockbusters like Riders, to this recent book, Jump!, which was first released in 2010. Jilly Cooper's novels are a very guilty of pleasure of mine, however in my defence, as a horse lover I did primarily start reading them because a lot of them are set in the world of showjumping, polo, or as Jump! is, horse racing.
(And no, I didn't start reading them because they have a reputation for being a bit racy... no pun intended!)
Jump! is about Etta, who is recently widowed and forced to sell the house where she lived with her husband. She moves to a village and one day finds an injured filly in the nearby woods. She nurses the filly back to health, only to discover after a DNA test that the horse is a thoroughbred with a great racing pedigree. With the help of her new friends from the village, the filly enters some races and well, you can guess the rest I'm sure.
As with all Cooper's novels, along the way there are romances, affairs, and her usual ridiculous bawdy humour.
Jilly Cooper uses so many characters that there is always an extensive character list at the beginning of her books. This is very much a good thing as the amount of characters she uses is, I believe, excessive. Having several main characters is fine, but she includes characters that are fairly inconsequential to the plot, and really seem to serve no purpose other than to include them in scenes where there are parties or large gatherings. At times I found myself flicking back and forth to the front of the book where the character list is, trying to fathom who she was talking about. Not all the characters are given a physical description, and so with some you have to try and conjure up your own mental image of them, which can be a pain when there are just. too. many.
One thing I do like about Jilly Cooper, though, is that she is always bringing back characters from her older books. This might not be so good for people who are reading one of her books for the first time, but I would assume that if you have bought Jump! then it's fairly likely that you've already some knowledge of her previous novels. Therefore old favourites such as Rupert Campbell-Black and Billy Lloyd-Foxe are featured - having read their stories in previous novels like Riders and Rivals, you do feel some affection for them, and it's nice to catch up with them and their children's lives now in some recent novels; for example Billy Lloyd-Foxe's daughter Amber is a jockey in this novel.
Of course, all Cooper's novels are focused on the middle and upper classes. Almost all the 'good' characters are in support of hunting and Tory-supporting; whereas all the characters who are more to the left politically, or are in favour of animal rights, are generally portrayed as boring, unhygienic and generally insufferable. This does get on my nerves a lot but I guess that's the world that Jilly Cooper herself comes from.
At around 900 pages, this did take me several months to finish. I found that 200 pages had passed before I really started to get into it. It's not one of her best books but much better than previous novels Score! and Wicked; the latter of which was quite poor. However Jump! is much better purely because it's based in the 'horsey' world, just like her best novels Riders and Polo were. I think she should stick to writing about this subject, as anytime she tries to diversify away from that, it seems to fall a bit flat.
I found the story entertaining enough but I don't believe Cooper's novels sit very well in the modern world, and I did cringe a bit at some of her references to modern life. Her 1980s novels really suited that era, being all about rich, upper class people. I am not sure stories like that translate to this current decade.
I wouldn't recommend this book unless you had read and enjoyed Jilly Cooper's previous books. Somehow I keep buying them every time they are released, and if her next novel is also about horses, then I will probably buy that as well. I got this for £3.79 so I really can't complain. They are a bit of escapism, can be funny at times, and it's nice to revisit old characters from the 'classic' novels of the 1980s. As this took me quite a while to read, I can't deny I didn't get my money's worth.
I'd give this 3.5 stars if I could, but 3 it is.

The next major superhero MMO to be released will be Champions Online, based off of the pen-and-paper RPG system and in development at Cryptic Studios, slated to be released in mid-July 2009. To add even more superhero cred to the game, Cryptic has hired writers well-versed in the comics industry like John Layman, of both Marvel and Wildstorm fame.
IGN is hosting a Champions Online developer diary written by Layman that focuses on his work at Cryptic Studios. Layman introduces what he does,"I'm the writer-guy for Champions Online, a comic book writer imported specifically to write a comic book themed game. And, just like writing comics, coming up with the right words, concepts, and plots is the very first part of a very long chain of work." He writes about the process of hashing out the best ideas with other Cryptic notables like Jack Emmert, Randy Mosiondz, and Brian Gilmore, and then working to tailor those concepts to 'comic book-ese' that works for Champions Online.
Layman discusses how the game has been humming along. "Champions Online is making fantastic strides every day of every week, and so is Cryptic's underlying technology platform (currently used by Champs and Star Trek Online.) With each advance, the Cryptic design teams are inspired to push the game further creatively. We're continually finding new ways to deliver missions and make types of missions and gameplay more varied."

Sven is a self taught freelance photographer specialising in portrait and street imagery. His clientele ranges from corporates, to models, families and infants. If there is a person in front of him he will have his camera at the ready moulding available natural and artificial lighting to suit. In the hunt for new and interesting characters Sven naturally progressed to searching the streets, the only place where a constantly evolving stream of fashion and self-expression is naturally occurring and where there is unique imagery lurking at every corner.
Born 1986 in Dusseldorf, Germany he immigrated with his family to New Zealand in 1994 and now considers himself a fully fledged kiwi. Since the big move he has been admiring the vast coastal landscapes and scenic colours, and takes full advantage of all the outdoor opportunities New Zealand has to offer.
Receiving a formal education in Electronics Engineering from the University of Auckland (graduated with a bachelors degree in 2009) has greatly helped him quickly pick up all technical aspects of photography, and allows him creative freedom without being phased by the rapidly advancing technological pace of the modern digital imaging world, from capture to print.
Sven says "photography is meant to be shared, holding images on your computer in the form of bits and bytes doesn't progress or develop our art or you as an individual. We should all be looking to print and share our work online so everyone can enjoy the imagery we so passionately seek and create".
100% self taught, his success and development can be directly attributed to the vast online knowledge base and imaging communities openly sharing their art. Sven frequently comments, "there is an infinite amount of knowledge available online ready for those who have their eyes and ears open and are paying attention". Progressing through local photography organisations both as a guest and co-founder, he looked for critique from highly regarded New Zealand commercial photographers at any opportunity to help guide and push his artistic confidence.
To give back to the wider community, which helped him develop into the photographer he is today, he fights for time to organise and teach his 'Community Projects', where any photographer is welcome to come along (regardless of skill level), ask questions and attend free workshops. These have been organised to encourage and develop a friendly community of like minded individuals looking to expand and learn.

After a summer spent banana hammocking around upon the black sand beaches of Santorini, it is important for me to keep my skin moist. Dry, it has a tendency to slough, which simply encourages Joel when he visits to pick one up off the floor, insert himself into it like a dermatological coverall and then make out with my unsuspecting girlfriend.
As such, I am always keeping an eye out for attractive humidifiers, but the 21st century design craze has yet to really impact the humidifier isle of the local Wal-Mart. So the FRED UFO Humidifier is refreshing to behold: a lovely silver discus with attractive, useless LEDs, capable of gasifying two gallons of water in a day. It also comes in red, green and black. $99 is a bit pricey for a humidifier though, but my girlfriend says that if it'll save us a few bucks, she's willing to take another of Joel's tonsil gougers for the team. It's called love, boys and girls.

Identity Comparison vs Comparing Identities
The following code creates a simple class with one property descriptor (read-only). It solves the requirements that with to instances of this class, a and b, id(a.x)==id(b.x) can be true while a.x is not b.x! How does this happen?
class foo(object):
x = property(lambda s: id(s))
a = foo()
b = foo()
assert id(a.x) == id(b.x)
assert a.x is not b.x
How on earth does this code prove what it does? a.x and b.x are created on the fly, passed to the id function, and then destroyed with no references left. Because they are both created in the right order with the id(a.x)==id(b.x) expression, they just happen to get the same memory addresses, which in CPython is used for the id function's result. This leads to misleading results, so don't rely on them in such ways. Identification is what it is, and you shouldn't try to break it down.

RuPy, Snakes and Rubies, Night and Day
All around me I see people relating Python and Ruby. The communities seem somehow intertwined with their users, usages, and publicity. It seems like you can never find a blog that talks about one without the other, or a new frontier being tested by one of the "new" languages and not being explored by its counterpart. Where do people see this distorted similarity between two languages that are as different as night and day?
To Rubyist out there, don't take offense. I have far more experience with Python, than with Ruby, so I might sound biased. Please, take this as an honestly unbiased opinion. I'm just talking from the middle in this case.
Python stands out from most of the other languages around. Largely it is understood as "the language without brackets", but it is not entirely alone there. Ruby almost appears like a language extremist. Their core types have fifty million methods each, because if you expect it to be there, it should be there. Python is important, because it explores the methods a language can encourage good coding practices onto developers. Ruby is vital, because it explores interesting constructs like continuations and compact code forms utilizing their quirky syntaxes. Both might have their place, but they are far different places. Python is unassuming. It will take nothing for granted, such as not taking for granted that you wanted a method call, not a call to a function in some method. Ruby is assuming. It understands the difference between objects and types, just based on the casing of the name.
Fuzzyman states a similarity between the languages, but can this be taken as anything more than common usage? We can see an assumption of similarity across both communities, but nothing really ties them together anymore than any languages are connected by virtue of all being languages.
I've been known at times to seem like a Python zealot and anti-PHP/Perl/Ruby, but in this case I'm setting that aside and I want to state very clearly: these two languages are not similar. They are very different beasts, with more differences than anything else. The illusion of a relation between Ruby and Python only harms both of them. We have people asking for continuations in Python constantly, when they are a great idea in Ruby, but would not likely work well in this very different environment. Rubyist get attacked by a barrage of Rails killing Python projects, trying to take their steam.
Shouldn't we go our separate ways?

Balence, Tranquility, and SOAP
Striving for the goal of Beautiful Code, we can find ourselves lost on the way to actually writing something that gets the job done. Throwing away perfectly working code, because an alternative way to achieve the same results is more elegant isn't something that we might see as a bad idea. If the code is more l33t now, it will give us less trouble tomorrow when we need to port it to my toaster. We'll use anything to justify the overworking for code beauty.
Is it always worth it? How beautiful is enough and when are we just wasting our time (and money)?
There are terms thrown around like "elegant" and "pythonic" to measure the quality of code with no attention to the code actually reaching the goal it sets out to perform. The code may work, but that doesn't make the code good code. Without a sense of time, scale, and the big picture, the search for good code can overshadow any good developer's work towards working code.
However, as any issue as a flip side, those developers getting lost are doing so in the name of a good fight: the first against bad code. We might get lost and never complete our code, or complete it late, but we do so with the complete belief that it was worth it. The code took several weeks longer to develop, but just look at how beautiful it is. Without the struggle for good code, our working, bad code would eventually overshadow us just as much and consume our time with maintenance, refactoring, and the mother of all frustrations in coding: trying to read your own work.
I am wrapping up some SOAP-heavy work and the path to completing it has been a testimony to the struggle of balance in code. Recent refactorings of the actual SOAP response processing ended with a good chunk of bad code. I don't like the way I'm doing lots of things, or the fact that it doesn't parse corner cases the service I'm using doesn't even use. The code is not the beautiful code I would like to call my own, but the code is working code and does everything it needs to do. I had to bite my own hand to keep the refactoring to a minimal and focus solely on the aspects of functional goals, ignoring aesthetics.
Be careful on the road to good code. Somewhere along the way, you can easily get lost and never reach the point of having actual, working product. Sure, the code will be incomplete, but it will be a fragment of beauty. Learn the value of a completed mediocre code set over the eternal development of more beautiful code, which does exactly the same thing.

You Go, Gamer!
Today I denounce my fellow gamers, and I call out to those of you with any backbone to stand with me in decrying those among us who, basically, just make us look bad.
The subject of debate is a recent survey making statements about the percentage of females among the online gaming community. The surprising results state that 64% of online gamers are female, and the response to this news is just as surprising: outright denial. Male gamers seem completely impossible to accept that they are not the majority of gamers, while they have been simultaniously complaining about the lack of female gamers for years.
Apparently, someone forgot to include a requirement that they be "real" gamers.
Over at the popular gamer blog and online comic, My Extra Life, the story was given with a note of disbelief and the commentors followed suit. Reading through the comments, you can see such Male Stereotype Improving comments as the following samples:
- The survey sounds fishy, unless they included "free games that are in the browser or games like second life." It still sounds fishy.
"No. I am a minority darn it!
I will not play with 64% of other women!
Maybe its a typo, maybe they meant 64% of gamers are kids.."
- "women under 16 years of age sound like dudes"
- "I agree.. 90% of them are playing bejeweled right now."
- "they're not the kinds of games correlated with the "gamer" title"
I had my say over there, so I'll quote myself now: "I am disgusted by my fellow gamers' responses at this announcement. I have heard nothing but denial, attacks on the survey, insults towards are female gamers, and downright insulting behavior coming from my demographic. We have to find all sorts of reasons why the survey is inaccurate, or counted things that "aren't real games", because we aren't man enough to admit to not being on top of something we long thought was our own. Get a life and just admit the truth. It doesn't matter if you play Halo or Scrabble, and its sexist and degrading to assume thats the only kind of game those women would play. Degrading to other male gamers, who have to be lumped in with the deplorable comments being made around here.
Of course more women would play online games! Lots of women love to game, but its not like they can play among other gamers face-to-face. When's the last time you treated your buddy's girlfriend as an equal in a game of Halo? No, she goes on as a handicap. No one takes her seriously. So, what is so to do to satisfy the thirst for games? Play online, where no one even realizes she has breasts. That's why 64% of online gamers are women: because you don't know and you hunt them down in Counter-Strike just as ruthlessly as anyone else."
One of my best friends is more of a gamer than I can claim to be. I just can't justify spending as much on games as he does, and my buddy has three times as many kids as me. His wife can't hold her own against the worst of us on the old Halo nights (which I miss so much), but she could kick my butt in a game of online poker or a few rounds of guitar hero.
Besides all the response making me ashamed of my fellow male gamers and wishing I could avoid the association until this blows over, I found the comment about Second Life to be pretty confusing. I understand why you don't consider a Scrabble game on Yahoo to be a "real game", even though I don't agree, but Second Life is one the greatest acheivements in gaming history. What gives, traveller18?
Ironically, when I sought out some stock photos for this post, over at stock.xchng, I turned up both of those photos of girls gaming, but not a single one of a male gamer.

Movable IDLE: Keep it Free, Fuzzyman!
Several weeks ago, I contacted Michael Foord (aka, Fuzzyman) about the idea of a simpler, slimmed version of his Movable Python distribution for those interested in the language, and often not computer literate enough to put up with all the different components you need for any decent development environment. This is exactly what we need to convince those people still hanging on to BASIC.
I don't know if its from my suggestion, although I got a personal e-mail from Fuzzy on the announcement, but its here and its free and its exactly what I need for the many interested people I am trying to bring Python to.
Google Reader Upgrade Dissappoints
I was a little late in the Blogscene, which is a relative statement given that most of the world doesn't know what a blog is, despite the fact that most bloggers think otherwise. I started with my trusty KDE's Akregator, which is admirably usable, and then looked for a web-solution to use better from multiple boxes and a laptop, right around the time the first Google Reader was released. I jumped on board, and I loved it. Right off the bat you have your entire reading queue, waiting for you to read through one post at a time. Read, hit the j button, read, j, read, j, j (I skip things, a lot), j, j, j, read, j, read. If I had a backlog, I could just pick labels or subscriptions to read first and be on my way until I had time to read less important things. The key is it was simple. Most of the time, I only ever used a single button: the j. It was fast, showing just what I was reading and a few things coming up on the list. Thanks to (possibly accidental) details of the implementation, I could scrollwheel over the reading list and pre-load hundreds of articles, so that I could read them offline in my web-based reader! Again, best of all, it was simple. It did all this and it was clean, and simple. God, it was simple.
The new Reader is a beast. There is a busy tree of labels and subscriptions listed on the left, repeating my feeds for every label they are in. The unread counts are always inaccurate. It tries to show me everything I've read so far on the page, which adds up quickly. I can't mark anything as read without everything before it getting marked too, which means no holding things to read later. The javascript slows the page down and even locks up FireFox for a few moments when loading the next posts. it is not simple.
Google, use your many brains. I don't know how you could have messed this up so badly. It brings up an interesting question: is it OK to compete with yourself? They say that the new Reader meets the middle-ground between what everyone wants, but does that mean it doesnt actually fit what any one person wants? Re-release the original as Google Quick Reader or something.
I'm sorry. This post was badly written. Call it a rant. I just miss my reader.

Stuff of Interest - Week of Sept 17 - 23, 2006
This is the first in my weekly post of interesting links around the web. These are articles, websites, services, photos, and anything that else that I want to bring up on my blog, but can't use an entire post for. Being on any aggregation sites makes you think harder on each post and puts some weight on you against those little posts, at least in my mind.
Hopefully, you'll enjoy whatever I post here. Maybe you'll find a useful site, or learn something you wouldn't otherwise.
Really Smart Stuff
Ross Jekel, over on the Python 3000 mailing list, supported the existance of the GIL (Global Interpreter Lock) in a very clear paragraph). This came from a thread (yet again) about the possible removal of the GIL for Python 3.0, which will almost definately not happen. Instead, the most weight seems to be toward improving the effectiveness and productivity of multi-process or multi-interpreter-in-one-process communication to offset call between interpreter boundries. Awesome stuff if it happens!
After some initial surprise when I learned about it, I'm now okay with a GIL or even single threaded python (with async I/O if necessary). In my opinion threaded programs with one big shared data space (like CPython's) are fundamentally untestable and unverifiable, and the GIL was the best solution to reduce risk in that area. I am happy the GIL exists because it forces me to come up designs for programs and systems that are easier to write, more predictable both in terms of correctness and performance, and easier to maintain and scale. I think there would be significant backlash in the Python development community the first time an intermittent race condition or a deadlock occurs in the CPython interpretor after years of relying on it as a predictable, reliable platform.
Really Cool Stuff
In my effort to professionalize my blog, snazzy it up a little, and a general interest in having cool things to look at, I found stock.xchang, a free stock photo exchange website. There are great photos available there, and when I get my camera working again, I will definately be contributing to the collection.
Sometimes you just gotta say "Wow." I had a little trouble with the prototype applet running sluggish and buggy, but watching the demo video is just amazing. The software will extract 2D shapes into 3D models and allow you to extrude, cut, reshape, and just do some amazing things with an interface so simple that a kid could, and has, use it. Makes me want a touchscreen all the more, so I can have extra fun playing with this.

Being Helpful by Not Answering Questions
I want to think my help is appreciated. I happen to know it is. There is an increasing number of regulars, learning their way through, who explicitly seek me for help, send me entire projects to look over, and generally befriend me in response to the advice I give them. I try not to think highly of myself, but I do believe I am valuable to that channel and that many others would agree.
A few, however, seem to hate my guts. A growing minority of users are continually harassing me over my methods of giving advice. They have a problem with how I talk to people that ask simple questions, even with those people not being them and happily taking my advice over the complaints of these few difficult IRC'ers. What they seem to have a problem with is my tendency to answer questions with questions, investigate why someone thinks they want to do what they ask how to do, and suggesting other ways to reach their goals that may be better than what they came seeking.
This is not a technique of myself alone. Python has a strong community of developers with strong opinions. It is not unusual for people to ask about threads and be told that Twisted, separated processes, or Stackless is better. If someone asks how to set a variable with a name in some string, they aren't told about globals() and locals(), but to use a dictionary instead, and usually will be given a small talk about how all variables exist in dictionary, including the globals and locals, so there is no overhead in this and its a perfectly good thing to do.
People aren't given a gun to shoot themselves with. They are given advice not in answering their question directly, but delving into the source of the question and solving the problems that lead to their asking a question, although sometimes misconceived.
Is it wrong to assume you know someone shouldn't do what they ask how to do, and tell them something else instead? Does anyone have the right to insult and verbally abuse those who practice such techniques of helping others?
Does anyone have thoughts on this? Lending a hand is important, so we should be doing it right.
I am happily employed by the excellent Caktus Group, located in beautiful and friendly Carrboro, NC, where I work with Python, Django, and Javascript.

Working in the media business located in one of the most competitive cities for the industry – Hollywood – I've seen the heartbreak of talented individuals struggling to find work. I watch their constant striving for survival and how they deal with disappointments over projects that seem to be a sure thing or a job or role that was green lit only to see it evaporate into thin air. The constant wait for success is excruciating. I know one Christian woman working at a major movie studio who went through 10 interviews before she finally got hired. I prayed with her through her tears as she waited not knowing if it would ever happen. For her the final outcome was positive but for most, it's not. The industry reeks with "I'll give you a call next week" and "We're waiting for just one more thing before we can make a decision". Our team at Cooke Pictures has been victim to some of these same empty promises, struggles, and disappointments. It's part of the business – hurry up and wait – have it ready and finished and then… wait. This past year, my husband Phil was honored to have been one of the executive producers of the Hillsong Movie – "Let Hope Rise" (opening nationwide September 16). Like all movies, it's been a struggle and we've had to live through the usual changes and delays that are typical in the industry. But in the end, I believe it will be God's perfect timing for the film's release. God has His perfect timing if we don't try and manipulate it or quit. I've learned to pray outside of my current frustrations and circumstances knowing that God will never meet a temporary desire if it destroys his future...

diy: animal keychains
A while back, I thrifted a bag of plastic toy animals. If you follow me on Instagram, you probably already saw the BFF giraffe keychains I made (my best friend and I are tall gals). These are simple to make and the possibilities are endless!
what you need: plastic animal(s), small screw eye hook, paint/brush, key ring, *optional: clear sealant spray
Start by picking which color paint you want to use, and do 2-3 coats of paint on your animal. Wait until it's completely dry before moving on. (To keep your paint from eventually chipping away, it's a good idea to spray it with a clear craft sealant like this one).
Screw in the eye hook by pressing and tightening firmly with pliers (it takes a few turns to break the plastic and get it started). Once your screw is in, attach your key ring and keys. Enjoy!

The tanker truck was owned by Golden Eagle Petroleum Refinery of Woods Cross, Utah. ... Read More

CEDAR CITY, UT – One person is dead and another critically injured after a multi truck accident last Wednesday in Iron County, Utah.

The area is in the southwest corner of the state, 255 miles south of Salt Lake City and 170 miles northeast of Las Vegas, Nevada.

Utah Semi Truck Accident on I-84 Pregnant Woman Dies
RIVERDALE, UT – A 28 year old pregnant woman from California was killed in a fatal semi truck accident that happened on the exit ramp from the southbound Interstate 15 to the eastbound Interstate 84 in Riverdale about 34 miles from Salt Lake City, Utah on Tuesday, November 10, 2009 at about 3:00 pm in the afternoon.
The crash happened when the big rig tractor trailer truck was traveling southbound on the I-15 attempted to make the turn onto the exit ramp to the eastbound I-84 when the truck rolled over onto its side onto the concrete barrier on the I-15 overpass. The driver's pregnant wife was ejected from the truck's sleeper and was killed in the accident. The deceased was identified as Martha R. Pichardo, 28 years old from Patterson, California.
The semi truck driver was reported as uninjured, but was taken to the Ogden Regional Medical Center for evaluation. He was reported appeared to have only very minor injuries, if any. The semi truck was hauling apples which spilled out after the accident, causing the ramp to be closed for several hours. The accident blocked both lanes on the ramp and it was still closed as of 9 pm.
Police say that speed was a factor and that the driver was going too fast to make the curve. The driver reported that he felt the truck jump or lift from the left lane over to the right when he tried to correct, then lost control and flipped over. This fatal accident is just the latest one of a few accidents in the past few years involving semi trucks hauling apples.
Officials from the Utah Dept of Transportation (UDOT) said that they planned to post more signs warning truckers to slow down on the transition ramp after a similar accident in about the same spot occurred just one month short of ten years ago. At that time there were complaints that the curve on the top of the transition ramp was deceptive because it was very sudden and sharp.
The only warning for drivers at that time, was a yellow warning sign with a sharp-turn symbol posted less than 50 yards from the turn. This was inadequate for semi trucks racing up the transition ramp at freeway speeds.
An operations engineer from the UDOT and an experienced truck driver said at that time that drivers who were not familiar with the area could assume they could approach the overpass travel at freeway speeds not realizing until it's too late that they need to slow down.
Below is a Google street view of the exit ramp from the southbound Interstate 15 to the eastbound Interstate 84. where you can see the concrete barrier on the right. You can click and drag the mouse button to pan around the scene of the accident.

I have turns custom rifles and scopes over to them that make my Les Baers look like cheap trade ins. If the are going to steal your gun, they will take anything. Just my opinion. I have checked my custom colt 1911's - yes I worried but that's the price of taking them with you.

Like custom guns and stuff? Check this out...
In the olden days, when I flew often with long guns, the people checking you in would either put the "Firearms inside" tag inside OR outside on the bag. There seemed no rhyme or reason to which way they did it. I always preferred to have it inside the bag and would ask them to do it that way eventually. When inside the bag it would still give a screener an OK that they had been declared and checked.
I have not checked one since the TSA rules started but maybe this is still the case. Something to think about anyhow.
Why do you have the high end guns? Are they just to look at and handle? That is OK, but if you think the best is what you need for a SD situation, then take it with you.
In order to be hired as a "baggage handler" at an international airport, you have to pass three background checks.
1. The potential employer will run one for future reference.
2. TSA or Homeland Security depending on which airport.
3. U.S. Customs and Border Patrol.
When all's said and done, I'd say getting my CHL had less hoops to jump through. I have to do it again every two years.
I'll say this also. All known firearms are treated as top priority baggage. Pack them accordingly. No cheaply made cases. Inspect your case(s) and lock(s) before each use and always make sure they are in good shape/repair.
So, would I pack up my Walther and submit it to the rigors of airline travel? You bet your sweet bippy I would.

So do you guys traveling with handguns just throw your Pelican (or similar hard case) on the belt or do you pack it (locked, of course) inside another suitcase so that it doesn't look like a gun case when it pops out on the baggage carousel?

Where's Your Favorite Place To Go For A Walk Here At The Shore?
There's nothing better than going for a nice walk, for me, on the boardwalk. My favorite boardwalk to walk is Seaside Heights–to people watch–and Ocean Gate boardwalk for a nice Saturday morning walk with my daughter.
It's all about sharing your great experiences here at the Shore and here's a good one for today. Maybe you do it before work, after work, weekends or when family visits…

After some old puffin hit the back of m car in B&Q and never left a note or owt, I was having massive issues finding a bumper from a 325 Compact, let alone a silver one.
I managed to get a silver bumper from a 318 from E-Bay - it was only a tenner so I thought that it would be rude not to try and open up the exhaust hole slightly so that it fits around the twin pipes of a 325.
Easily said - now I just need to figure out the best way to do it!
I plan to take the damaged bumper off and make a template etc. Just not sure the best way to cut the new bumper due to curves etc. Like I said, I know that it sounds like a bit of a bodge, but no one has any 325 Compacts for breaking and I don't really want to fork out hundreds of pounds for a new bumper.
Cheers for any advice that can be offered

Ok, this has taken me a while to figure out, between searching the Help and the forums, and some comments folks have left on this blog, but I think I got it. The reason it has taken so long is that I have pre-existing assumptions about templates, coming from SolidWorks and MSWord. I've only gotten to part templates so far, nothing yet for assembly or drawing templates. I need to also point out that Luc (SolidDNA) wrote up a nice tutorial in the comments of an earlier post. Thanks for that.
Solid Edge templates work a little differently than other programs I've used. They are more like start documents. They keep the same sort of info that templates hold in SolidWorks, though. For example, I like to work with white backgrounds, just out of habit for writing for publications. Gradients can look like crap when printed, and even when screen captured. So I figured how to set that (View > View Overrides > Backgrounds), and then saved it to a template, and made that template the default.
Here are a few things beginners coming from SW need to know about Solid Edge templates:
- Templates don't have different file extensions in SE like they do in SW. A part template has the same extension that a regular part has: *.par. So when making a template, just get a file with whatever settings you want to use as a starting point, and save it to your template folder. You can even save parts with geometry in them and use them as templates for special cases.
- In Solid Edge, you have to first establish a location for user defined templates, and then save a template or two, then they become available on tabs in the New dialog, like the Advanced interface for selecting SW templates. Solid Edge options are available by clicking the Solid Edge icon in the upper left, then Solid Edge Options > File Locations > User Templates.
- To save a template in SE, you just save a regular part, there is no special command for saving a template.
- To set the default template (after creating a custom template in Step 2 above) go to App Menu > Solid Edge Options > Helpers > Set Default Templates > … But you also have to make sure that on the same page, you have the Start Using This Template setting set to whatever kind of document you want to create when you first open Solid Edge. For me, for now, I always want to create a new part when I open SE.
So, for you veterans, this is old news, but for a learning noob, this is important to know.

Student-Run 'Fantasy Slut League' Uncovered at California High School
Posted on Oct 22, 2012
Piedmont High is drawing mixed reaction for its response to the recent discovery of a "fantasy slut league" at the Bay Area school that evidently had been going on for years. In a letter sent to parents Friday, Principal Rich Kitchens wrote that the league was set up by a group of the school's varsity athletes, who would secretly "draft" female students and then get points for engaging in sexual activity with them.
Many male and female students at the school not only knew what was going on, but also participated because they felt pressured to or lacked the confidence to stop it, the principal's letter said.
(Read Kitchens entire letter here.)
An investigation by school officials found the "league" has been run for at least five or six years. Still, despite its apparent pervasiveness, officials were unable to identify individuals involved and subsequently no disciplinary action is expected to happen. Additionally, Kitchens said they could not punish students for activities that were organized off campus, such as was the case here. Instead, the school will focus its efforts on "education and understanding moving forward."

As long as I've known Pitbull or seen him in whatever stage of his career, he's always shown a great diversity in the music he likes and the music that he's inspired from. Rolling Stone and Rdio caught up with Pit for a quick list of his is favorite party songs ever. And its actually kinda' dope to see "September" by Earth Wind & Fire on the top of the list, as well as Miami legend Uncle Al within the top five as well.
Pitbull's Top Five Favorite Party Songs Ever
1. September by Earth, Wind & Fire
2. All Night Long (All Night) by Lionel Richie
3. Juicy by The Notorious B.I.G.
4. I Just Wanna Love U (Give It 2 Me) by Jay-Z
5. Mix It Up by DJ Uncle Al

Rams wide receiver Danny Amendola made a beautiful, one-handed, 44-yard grab in the first quarter of Thursday's game versus the Cardinals. Unfortunately, he left in the second quarter with an ugly injury that will keep him out for quite a whiile. A team source has told ProFootballTalk.com that Amendola broke his collarbone.
Fantasy Analysis:
Expect Amendola to miss four-to-six weeks. That was the case with Chargers running back Ryan Mathews when he suffered the same injury during the preseason. Amendola currently has 32 catches, tied for the most in the NFL, and the Rams' passing game without him looked hideous, to put it lightly. Chris Givens caught a 51-yard touchdown pass in the fourth quarter, but you don't want to add anyone from this situation, including quarterback Sam Bradford. He'll be heavily affected by the loss of his safety blanket and top receiver. This injury may lead to more short receptions for Steven Jackson . He looked relatively healthy tonght, and has just seven receptions through five games.

The City of Oakland is facing another possible legal hurdle in the race to license and tax commercial marijuana cultivation – the Alameda County district attorney.
A Dec. 8 letter from Alameda County District Attorney Nancy O'Malley to Mayor-elect Jean Quan, obtained by California Watch, warns that city officials could face the wrath of federal drug agents if an ordinance authorizing some of the world's biggest pot farms runs afoul of California's medical marijuana laws.
Federal and local authorities have already warned Oakland over the cannabis cultivation ordinance approved by the Oakland city council last July.
City officials say the ordinance is an effort to bring order to Oakland's thriving pot-growing scene and earn millions in tax revenue. They also say the ordinance hews closely to state medical marijuana laws, which allow for marijuana cultivation within a closed loop of patients and providers.
But District Attorney O'Malley's letter cites specific areas where the ordinance could violate provisions in state law governing medical marijuana collectives. The central point is that under the plan Oakland's pot farms would be taxed as entities separate from businesses that dispense medical cannabis.
What's more, O'Malley's letter suggests Oakland city employees – including city council members – could get caught holding the bag if the feds decide the ordinance violates state law:
It remains an open question whether public officers or public employees who aid and abet or conspire to violate state or federal laws in furtherance of a city ordinance, are exempt from criminal liability.
The Oakland City Council is scheduled to discuss challenges to the ordinance Dec. 21. Applications for cannabis cultivation permits are due the following day. City officials say they're still on track to issue licenses by early next year.

Five Wins at UCLA -- The Wolverines continued their solid start to the outdoor season, picking up five event wins at the Johnson/Joyner Invitational last weekend (Thu-Sat., April 7-9). U-M was balanced in its effort, recording three wins on the track and two in the field. Senior Danielle Tauro set a new meet record in her 5,000-meter run victory, finishing in 16:32.27 to break the four-year-old mark. Freshman Megan Weschler won the 3,000-meter steeplechase (11:07.56) in her first attempt at the event, while fifth-year senior Alisha Cole won the open 400-meter dash (55.46) to round out Michigan's track wins. In the field, senior Lauren Young cleared a personal-best 1.75 meters (5-8 3/4) for the win in the in the invitational high jump and Erin Pendleton claimed top honors in the discus (50.95 meters, 167-02).
Clearing New Heights -- Three Wolverines set new personal records in "jumping" events at UCLA as Lauren Young and Erin Busbee achieved new marks in the high jump and Kiley Tobel set a new pole vault clearance. Young won the invitational high jump as Michigan's only participant, clearing 1.75 meters (5-8 3/4) to set her new personal record by 0.5 meters (3/4). In the heptathlon high jump, Busbee finished third with her best mark ever of 1.59 meters (5-2 1/2), the first time she has cleared five feet. Tobel took third in the invitational section of the pole vault with a clearance of 3.90 meters (12-9 1/2), the best effort of her career.
Michigan Flavor in the 800 -- The top three finishers of the 800-meter run at the Johnson/Joyner Invitational all had Michigan ties, with sophomores Jillian Smith and Rebecca Addison finishing second and third to former Wolverine Nicole (Edwards) Sifuentes (2005-08). Smith made a late push, coming up just short by crossing in 2:06.87 to Sifuentes' time of 2:07.67. Addison finished in 2:07.13 as the Wolverine duo made their outdoor 800 debut.
Relays Turn It On at UCLA -- Michigan recorded season-bests in both the 4x100-meter relay and the 4x400-meter relay at the Johnson/Joyner Invitational. In the 4x100-meter relay, Julian Purvis, Charlotte Cahill, Amber Smith and Alisha Cole combined to finish in 46.54. Running the 4x4 for the first time this season, Alexandria Williams, Jennifer Neville, Rebecca Addison and Cole finished in 3:45.49.
Outdoor POP List -- Jillian Smith is the highest-ranked Wolverine in the current outdoor POP list, coming in at No. 15 in the 800-meter run. [ Full List ]
Setting a Record -- Michigan won the 4x1,500-meter relay at the Colonial Relays, setting a new facility (Zable Stadium) and meet record in the process. The quartet of Taylor Pogue, Rebecca Addison, Jillian Smith and Danielle Tauro finished in 18:04.14, beating the previous record set by Princeton in 1994. In addition, Addison won the 3,000-meter run in a personal-record time of 9:40.46 as the only Wolverine to compete in an individual event. It was the first outdoor action for all four Wolverines and the first ever for Pogue, a freshman, and Smith, who redshirted last season.
Sisters Add Unique Dynamic To Track and Field Team -- The Michigan Daily looks at the three sets of sisters on the team: Andrea Marcos and Erica Marcos; Emily Pendleton and Erin Pendleton; Chloe Prince and Nicole Prince. [ Story ]
Liske Earns Big Ten Honor -- For the first time in her career, Allison Liske was named the Big Ten Field Athlete of the Week after winning the shot put at both of Michigan's meets during its first outdoor weekend. Her shot put throw of 15.32 meters (50-3.25) at the UCF Black and Gold Challenge was the 12th-best national mark through last weekend's action. It was the third time this season that a Wolverine has won the weekly award as Liske joins two-time track honoree Rebecca Addison.
Let's Make It Like Indoors -- During the indoor season, Michigan improved its 2010 Big Ten finish by four spots in 2011. The Wolverines finished eighth during 2010, before jumping to No. 4 at this year's championships. During last year's outdoor season, the Maize and Blue also finished eighth and will be looking for similar improvement at this year's championship meet.
McGuire Named Great Lakes Assistant Coach of the Year -- Associate head coach Mike McGuire was named the USTFCCCA Great Lakes Assistant Coach of the Year for the fifth time in his career after helping Michigan to a fourth-place finish at the Big Ten Championships. McGuire's athletes won two individual titles along with Michigan's eighth consecutive win in the distance medley relay at the Championships. [ Release ]
Trio of Captains to Lead U-M -- Alisha Cole, Allison Liske and Danielle Tauro will serve as captains for the 2011 season. Tauro repeats as captain for the second consecutive season while Cole and Liske were chosen by their teammates for the first time. [ Release ]
Who Is Back -- The Wolverines return 22 letterwinners from last year's team that picked up a pair of eighth-place finishes at both the 2010 Big Ten Indoor and Outdoor Championships. Michigan swept both Freshman of the Year awards with sophomores Jillian Smith and Erin Pendleton earning the honors. Smith (indoor 800-meter run) and Pendleton (outdoor discus throw) were the only Wolverines to win individual Big Ten championships during 2010. The Wolverines won their seventh consecutive distance medley relay title and return Smith, Danielle Tauro and sophomore Rebecca Addison from that team.
Fresh Faces -- Michigan welcomes 20 new student-athletes to the roster this season. Of those 20, 10 competed for the Wolverines during the cross country season. Michigan finished runner-up at the 2010 Big Ten Cross Country Championships and 22nd at the NCAA Championships during the cross country campaign.
Same Name -- The Wolverines have three sets of sisters on the 2011 team in addition to three other sets of same last names. Sisters Andrea Marcos (Farmington Hills, Mich./North Farmington) and Erica Marcos (Farmington Hills, Mich./North Farmington) both compete in pole vault; Emily Pendleton and Erin Pendleton both throw; and Chloe Prince (Okemos, Mich./Okemos) and Nicole Prince (Okemos, Mich./Okemos) both run mid-distance for the Wolverines. In addition, Alicia Patterson (DeWitt, Mich./DeWitt) and Kaitlyn Patterson (Cadillac, Mich./Cadillac), Amber Smith (Cleveland, Ohio/Collinwood) and Jillian Smith and Alexandria Williams (Wallingford, Pa./Strath Haven) and Brittani Williams (Detroit, Mich./Jackson) all share last names but are not related.
For the second consecutive season, the East and West Preliminary Championship competition will be utilized to qualify for the NCAA Championships. Using a descending order list, the top 48 athletes in each event will participate in two rounds (first round and quarterfinals) during the Preliminary Round. Twelve competitors from each individual event and 12 teams from each relay event will advance from each Preliminary Championship competition to the NCAA Championships. There are no qualifying marks used during the outdoor season.
The University of Michigan athletics department will no longer print media guides. U-M fans and media can still obtain all the information they're used to, only now it's available online. Each of our varsity athletic teams will have a Record Book and a Yearbook.

Pitt announced late Tuesday night that redshirt freshman quarterback Anthony Gonzalez has been suspended indefinitely by Graham for a violation of team rules.
Gonzalez completed 9-of-26 passes for 82 yards, with two interceptions. After the spring game, Graham commented on Gonzalez' progress through the spring, expecting the redshirt freshman to make an impact.
Anthony Gonzalez was another winner for us," Graham said after the spring game. "Anthony just keeps getting better, he just does everything right. As he develops physically and gets stronger, I think that he's going to be a special player."
No further information was provided on Gonzalez incident.
