Vintage Racing Video
This is a cool vintage piece of dirt track racing post-war. Jim Rathman is shown in it, who went on to win Indy in '60. I think I spotted a Hudson in the parking lot. ;) ;)
That awesome, thanks for sharing.
Great film. Back when men were men. Probably some had been in the war and what was a little racing when you had been shot at. My great uncle, been gone for 40+ years, always told the story of a race like this in the 30s where 2 Hudson 8s were racing. It was held at a county horse track with white posts all the way around the inside of the track. At he end of the race the two Hudson 8s were in front and not one white post was left standing.
Mayhem at 70 per!!!! And that's the way it was - back-in-the-day. Most tracks were watered down before the race to keep the dust down - trouble was it was like driving on ice, especially on the red clay tracks here in the south. But, dry, on those tracks, you couldn't see where you going, as you could see in this video. Fifty years later I'm still coughing up red dust.
Jim Rathman - you won't see todays "pretty boys" racing in open roadsters like that - tho as I recall I think Tony Stewart has diced it up with dirt track sprint cars a time or two. For one thing NASCAR would allow it and for another their sponsors wouldn't either. To much money involved. Back in the day money was secondary. As long as you had enough to put a car together you went racing. It was fun then, not all business like today.
I noticed a couple of Model A bodies - but those cars certainly weren't Dad's Model A for sure!!
Thanks for the memory, Russell.
Alex Burr
Memphis, tN -
Very cool. Thanks Russell.
Gene. -
Cool video! Thanks Russell. :)
I like those roll bars, of those who had them. One guy had about a one inch diameter bar that went down and mounted to the nerf bar just in front of the back tire. That nerf bar looked to be quarter by inch and a half flat bar! Haha. Good thing he had a helmet on, because that roll bar isn't going to do much if he turns upside down. ;)
Oh, did you see the custom aluminum hood with all the clearance bubbles?! Cool! -
Great video Russell, the guys even look like they were having fun. Todays nascar is nothing like the REAL racing in the old days. Drivers today seem to be under a lot of stress, especially in qualifying. It can't be as much fun as the old days were. Richie.
Richie, read my post above if you haven't already - it sure as hell was a lot more fun. And we did it with little or no sponsorship to boot. We might get a few bucks from a local speed shop or auto parts store or maybe a local gas station to put their name on our cars. In this day of multi-million dollar sponsorships I stress "Few Bucks". :D
Alex Burr
Memphis, TN -
You are right Alex, I agree 100%. Richie

Cellar/Tasting Notes "Foxen's UU Block from the famed Bien Nacido Vineyard fights it out every year with the estate Tinaquaic Chardonnay for top honors. In this cool vintage, the former wins out by a hair. Dry, steely and crisp in acidity, it shows vast tropical fruit, orange, vanilla, honey and buttered toast flavors..
Cellar/Tasting Notes The 2011 Chardonnay Unfiltered exhibits notes of white peaches and honeysuckle, a beautiful, medium to full-bodied texture, superb purity, good acidity and a sensual finish. This highly successful 2011 can be consumed over the next 3-4 years.
Cellar/Tasting Notes Donelan's 2011 Chardonnay Nancie is pretty and expressive. Another wine with lovely textural depth and nuance, the 2011 is laced with dried apricots, nectarines, flowers and mint, all of which come together in the glass. Though medium in body, the 2011 impresses for its soft, caressing personality..
Cellar/Tasting Notes "There's a hard, minerally edge to this Chardonnay, like the tang of cold metal, an impression that's heightened by its citrusy acids. The flavor veers toward Meyer lemon, while toasted oak brings needed vanilla and honey richness. It's controlled and tight, compared to more opulent..
Cellar/Tasting Notes "A textbook example in how to make a Chardonnay that's ripely fruity and oaky, yet maintains impeccable balance. The orange, apricot, green apple and lime flavors hit the jackpot, while brisk acidity and minerality provide equilibrium. Possesses that rare quality of elegance."
Cellar/Tasting Notes "The 2010 Chardonnay Isobel Charles Heintz Vineyard is racy, elegant and perfumed. The long growing season yielded a focused wine that nicely balances richness and minerality. Hints of dried apricots, pears, light floral honey and herbs add complexity in the bright, focused finish. Here, too, there..

Perhaps I am dense but I thought this one was amazingly tough, especially for a one star Hanayama. If you give someone the two pieces unconnected it is particularly tricky to get together if you have never seen the disassembly. Excellent puzzle!

This comprehensively and expanded second edition includes completely new material on vernacular buildings, offices, schools and housing, a useful history of green architecture education and a guide to the international conventions and agreements, including those from the World Summit on Sustainable Development in Johannesburg. Stunningly redesigned and extensively illustrated throughout, "Rough Guide to Sustainability" will appeal to design and built environment students and professionals, and anyone keen to cut through to the real facts about sustainability. |

Tea lover, wife, mother to three cats, reader, and writer. I started drinking and enjoying tea (yes, yes it was Lipton, but it got me started) when my grandmother first introduced me to tea with milk and sugar (and peanut butter and jelly on toast) and my love just grew from there.
I was brought to loose leaf through a trip to Teavana, but my taste has expanded along with my love of tea in general. Now to get my husband to drink some too! :)

Hello! I am taking a class at college called baseball history and I got my first assignment today. I was hoping I could get a few opinions on this one because I'm not sure where to start. Here is my assignment:
You have been assigned by Major League Baseball to select a city for an expansion team. Your task is to research possible locations and choose a place you feel will fit in with baseballs heritage, the current structure of MLB, the quality of life in whatever city you select, and the possibility of profit for the investors.
Your guidelines:
The city you select MUST NOT be the current home of a MLB team. It can be the home of a minor league team, if you like.
You should consider the following factors: air and highway access, where you will build a park, the baseball and/or sports heritage of the city (if any), racial ethnic and economic makeup of the population, other tourist attractions in the metropolitan area, and a brief account of a marketing plan that includes a team nickname and how you will promote the team.
I am thinking:
San Antonio
New Orleans
or somewhere in the Carolinas.
What do you guys think?

Three Republicans, including two school board members, have been booted off their party's executive committee.
Their offense? All three supported Eddie Dees, a Democrat, in his failed bid for a state House seat in November.
"They violated the party disloyalty clause," said William Gillis, the 27-year-old chairman of the Cumberland County Republican Party.
On Nov. 29, leaders of the party voted to remove Diane Wheatley, Michael Boose and Greg West from being able to participate or vote on the executive committee.
Wheatley is a former Cumberland County commissioner who has lost three straight elections since 2008. She also is a former school board chairwoman.
Boose and West are members of the Cumberland County Board of Education. School board races don't include party affiliations on the ballots.
Dees, a former Hope Mills mayor, was defeated by John Szoka, a Republican who lives in Gates Four in western Cumberland County.
According to the party's plan of organization, all current or past elected officials who are Republicans get a seat on the executive committee. The clause, which rarely has been invoked, says Republicans shouldn't openly campaign for Democrats in partisan races.
"I think any time you have to exercise party discipline is unfortunate, but the rules are the rules," Gillis said.
Wheatley, who could not be reached last week, signed an endorsement for Dees that was distributed to the media.
West said he lent his name to reception invitations for both candidates in the legislative race. West said he has known Dees, a high school teacher, for many years.
"I supported both because they both asked," West said.
West called the executive committee's action "disappointing."
"If that's the way they want to run the local party, that's their decision," West said.
Boose said he gave Dees a $200 campaign contribution.
"I've known him for 25 years," Boose said. "He has supported me when very few or none of the Republicans did. I congratulated him on the birth of his twin daughters."
Boose said Szoka never sought out his support for his campaigns this year or in 2009.
Boose was critical of the executive committee's decision to oust him and two other Republicans. He said no one has officially notified him.
"We're hearing this from a third party when the sixth-graders running the party don't have enough nerve to pick up the phone and call me," Boose said.
State Sen. Wesley Meredith, a Fayetteville Republican, will lead the state legislative delegation from Cumberland County next year.
On Thursday night, the two-term senator was elected to be chairman, and state Rep. Elmer Floyd, a Fayetteville Democrat, was elected to be vice chairman for 2013.
The outgoing chairman is state Rep. Rick Glazier, a Fayetteville Democrat.
Meredith said his first priority will be meeting with delegate members to better understand issues in their districts.
"I will work very hard to let the leadership of the Senate and House know how important funding for existing projects and new projects are for Cumberland and Hoke counties," Meredith said.
Republicans have majorities in the state House and state Senate, and a Republican governor will take office in January.
Fayetteville City Councilwoman Val Applewhite recently asked how the council could remove someone appointed to the Public Works Commission.
Applewhite told The Fayetteville Observer her inquiry wasn't meant to target two of the PWC board members: Mike Lallier or Wilson Lacy.
She said she asked because the council is about to make two appointments to fill unexpired terms after Terri Union and Lou Olivera step down this month.
Applewhite said the appointments are four-year terms, and PWC is the city's most important board.
"I thought the timing was appropriate to clarify the circumstances under which they serve," she said.
The council is set today to consider filling the two unexpired terms.
According to public emails, Applewhite first made her inquiry Nov. 18. She followed up her request in a Nov. 29 email.
"I would like to understand the circumstances for which the City Council can vote to remove someone from any board or commission - a general question," she wrote. "Specifically, I would like an understanding of how to remove a PWC commissioner."
The council has an attendance policy that can automatically remove any violators from city boards or commissions.
But, because the PWC was chartered more than 100 years ago by the General Assembly, the council lacks the authority to remove a sitting PWC commissioner, unless he or she "willfully neglects his or her office or fails to perform a required duty," according to a Nov. 29 email by City Attorney Karen McDonald.
Four members of the Fayetteville City Council went to Boston late last month for an annual conference.
The National League of Cities met Nov. 28-Dec. 1 for its annual conference that brings together municipal leaders from the U.S. who network and share what they are doing in their cities.
Fayetteville Mayor Tony Chavonne and council members Keith Bates, Kady-Ann Davy and Wade Fowler all went. As is customary, the city will pay for their travel, lodging and meals associated with the conference.
U.S. Rep. Renee Ellmers, a Republican from Dunn, announced last week that she has been appointed to the House Energy and Commerce Committee.
And U.S. Rep.-elect Richard Hudson, a Republican from Cabarrus County, said he will serve on the House Agriculture Committee, the Committee on Homeland Security and the Education and the Workforce Committee.
Bob White, chairman of the Cumberland County Soil and Water Conservation District, has been nominated for the Piedmont seat on the North Carolina Soil and Water Commission.
The Area 7 Association of Soil and Water Conservation Districts nominated White to represent areas 3, 4 and 7, and he will be up for election at the association's annual meeting in January. Area 7 is made up of Cumberland, Bladen, Columbus, Harnett, Hoke, Richmond, Robeson, Sampson and Scotland counties.
"In this world of environmental and climatic changes, I believe we need people who will safeguard our environmental future, preserve our agriculture power, protect the quality and quantity of water and ensure we have clean air to breathe," White said in a news release.
White has served on the Cumberland County conservation district board since 2006. The district exists to encourage conservation and improvement of soil and water resources.
State Rep. G.L. Pridgen, a Republican from Robeson County, has been given the 2012 Conservative of the Year Award by the American Conservative Union Foundation.
Cumberland County Republican Women's Club will meet Tuesday at Highland Country Club at 6:15 p.m. The scheduled guest speaker is Fayetteville's City Manager Ted Voorhees. To RSVP, contact Suzanne Rucker at 484-7957 or firstname.lastname@example.com.
The Fayetteville Republican Women's Club will meet Thursday at Morgan's Chop House, 201 S. McPherson Church Road. Luncheon buffet starts at 11:30 a.m. The program begins at noon. Visitors fee is $20, and beverage-only seating is $2.50. The program will include the installation of 2013 officers. Cathy Wright of the N.C. Federation of Republican Women will be among the speakers. Christmas gift exchanges will occur. To RSVP, contact firstname.lastname@example.com or call 864-0335.

Comments about Topeak RaceRocket HPX Master Blaster Mini Pump:
The pump works great. The attachment mechanism works by screwing onto the valve and attaches consistently and well. As others have noted, this can cause a problem. On some presta tubes, the pump screws onto the valve fine, but then when it unscrews the top of the presta valve comes with it. This is a problem that is common to pumps with a screw-on mechanism. With the traditional attachment that doesn't screw on, it doesn't matter whether the valve is attached tightly - I never realized the presta valve unscrewed like that until I got a screw-on pump & had this happen. BUT, it is that very mechanism that is a big strength of the pump. I blame the tube manufacturers for the defect. There is no reason that the presta valve should be so easy to take apart in this way. It seems to vary by brand of tube, but I haven't paid close enough attention to be sure of that. It can be fixed easily with a little loctite, but it is irritating. Since I use screw on pumps for trail & garage, I now have a habit of testing the valve when I get them to see if the attachment is loose, and putting a little loctite on it before I put it with my bike gear. If that all seems like a hassle to you, don't get a pump that screws on - but those are the ones that work the best in every other way!

I had similar problems - first and only time I used it, broke off my valve, too. Taking back today.
Best Uses
Comments about Topeak RaceRocket HPX Master Blaster Mini Pump:
When this pump works it's great. The problem I had is about 50% of the time the pump will actually pull out the presta valves from my tubes. Then of course the valve is stuck in the pump. I tried loosening the connector but then I lose a lot of air when I'm pumping. I wasn't a fan of carrying needle-nose pliers for every time I got a flat (to use the pump) so I took it back.

Pumpkin Spice Scones with Maple Glaze
I had enough pumpkin left to make two batches of the scones and since the recipe called for both all-purpose flour and cake flour, I decided to experiment a bit. I made one batch with all-purpose and cake flour and the other batch with all-purpose and whole wheat pastry flour. I'm happy to report that there was no noticeable difference in flavor between the two batches. This is the second time I've used whole wheat pastry flour with good results so I'm definitely a convert.
I knew I wanted to glaze the scones and eventually decided on a recipe for maple glaze that I found on Ezra Pound Cake. This glaze is to die for and really added something special to the scones. The scones themselves are delicious! The pumpkin flavor comes through as well as the warmth of the spices and the texture is perfect! I'm not normally a huge fan of scones but these are phenomenal. I shared one with my mailman today and he agreed :)
Pumpkin Spice Scones
from Pinch My Salt
1 cup all-purpose flour
1 cup cake flour (or whole wheat pastry flour)
1 1/2 teaspoons baking powder
1/2 teaspoon salt
1/2 teaspoon ground cinnamon
1/2 teaspoon ground nutmeg
1/4 teaspoon ground allspice
1/4 teaspoon ground ginger
6 tablespoons very cold, unsalted butter cut into 1/2 inch pieces
1/2 cup raisins (optional)
1/3 cup canned pumpkin
1/3 cup heavy cream
6 tablespoons brown sugar
1 teaspoon vanilla
Preheat oven to 425 F. Line a baking sheet with parchment paper.
In a medium bowl, combine both flours, baking powder, salt, and all spices and whisk together.
In another medium bowl, whisk pumpkin, heavy cream, brown sugar, and vanilla until smooth. Add the pieces of cold butter to the flour mixture and cut the butter into the flour using a pastry blender until the mixture resembles coarse crumbs. Stir in the raisins if you are using them.
Add the pumpkin mixture to the flour mixture. Stir with a wooden spoon until everything is just moistened. The dough will be very crumbly. Turn the mixture out onto the counter and push the pile together with your hands. Knead the dough a few times until everything comes together. Be careful not to over-knead the dough. Pat the dough out into a rough circle, 3/4 to 1 inch thick. Cut the dough into 8 wedges and set them on the parchment-lined baking sheet, spacing them about 2 inches apart.
Bake scones for 15 minutes. Cool scones on baking sheet on wire rack for 5 minutes before transferring them to the wire rack to cool completely.
Maple Glaze
from Baking Illustrated by the editors of Cooks Illustrated (as seen on Ezra Pound Cake)
3 tablespoons maple syrup
1/2 cup confectioner's sugar
When the scones have cooled completely, whisk the maple syrup and confectioner's sugar in a small bowl until combined; drizzle the glaze over the scones.

We love scones but have never had pumpkin scones -- these look absolutely delicious, and the maple glaze sounds perfect with them! Great way to use that leftover pumpkin, I have tossed out way too many half portions of canned pumpkin because I forget about them in the fridge.

How can it possibly be mid-February already?
Two thoughts today that seem like someone else might want to hear them, so, a blog post.
A theory student who shall remain nameless was assigned the last four pieces of Stravinsky's Les Cinq Doigts, with the instruction to determine which modes the composer used in each piece (one of the pieces uses a scale that isn't a mode of the diatonic set, so there's that challege, too). The student had trouble completing the assignment and asked for help and an extension. The problem was that the student couldn't figure out which mode was which.
Help has not yet been forthcoming–this blog is bringing you breaking music theory news, folks!–but when we sit down, my first question will be, "Where did you work on the pieces up until now?"
My theory students are familiar with my admonition that theory homework is to be done at the piano (or other suitable instrument). I specifically warn them not to attempt to work on music theory assignments while watching Gilligan's Island or whatever else might be on. This has nothing to do with whether Gilligan's Island is a worthwhile activity.
The truth is that the best place to learn about music is in the practice room, and that goes for music theory, too. An architect may sketch an idea for a building on the back of a napkin, but she wouldn't dream of coming up with the final design anywhere but at a drafting table (or the computerized equivalent), with T-square and triangle in hand, with the relevant reference materials close by. A doctor might think through a surgery in the car, but would probably prefer not to attempt to perform one there.
What I find that many students miss is that you have to practice music theory in much the same way that you practice your instrument, and if you practice haphazardly, particularly in the formative stages, your knowledge and skills will be haphazard. I suspect–I don't know, and I'll give my student the benefit of the doubt–that my theory student may not have sat down at a piano to play through the Stravinsky. This act will allow him to find the pitch centers of the various parts of the pieces, which will tell him which mode is in use in any given measure. I don't mind that he hasn't done this yet–he's still a student and needs to learn what works and what doesn't.
I may create a banner for my theory classroom that reads What does the music sound like? or some such thing, because this is the fundamental question that has to be answered. If a musician has well-developed aural skills, it may be possible, to a greater or lesser extent, to get an idea of the sound of a piece by looking at a score–this is actually one of the two big goals of aural skills in the traditional undergraduate music program–but I would suggest that if one is really going to understand a piece, one must perform it, and the most convenient way to do that for most of us is at the piano. So: turn off Gilligan's Island and play through the thing, and play through those part-writing exercises, too, because that's what I'm going to do when you hand them in…
Item 2 came into my inbox via the Society of Composers email list. Before lunch, there was a posting from an arts non-profit calling for scores, a contest, if you will, for a fairly specific instrumentation. As usual, I looked to see whether I had already written a piece that would qualify (I haven't), and whether there was prize money (there is, $250) and whether there was an entry fee (there is, $20 per score). As is my practice in such a situation, I deleted the post and thought no more of it. I don't have time to compose a piece that might be performed, and I don't have $20 to send along for consideration. It did occur to me that only 13 scores would be required for the organization to receive more in entry fees than it was offering in prizes, and they will surely get more than 13 entries.
After lunch, I returned to find that four more posts had shown up discussing the call-for-scores from the first post. The first was from a well-respected composer, and the next two were seconding that composer's post. The opinion of these three posts was that such a contest was in some way exploiting composers, who are desperate for performances, and that the organization should be ashamed of itself for charging an entry fee, an act akin to running numbers. The fourth post pointed out that arts organizations have to come up with funding from somewhere, and that no stone should be left unturned in that search, and that composers should be greatful that someone is willing to take an interest in our music for a modest fee. The post went on to point out that SCI charges annual dues and a registration fee for our conferences, and generally if a piece is accepted to a conference, the composer is expected to attend and to pay the registration fee (to which I would add that we are sometimes required to pay to obtain a recording of the conference performance as well).
Rather than add my voice on the SCI list, I thought I would put something up here. I think there are points on both sides. First, I generally don't submit to competitions or calls for scores that require money up front. I wouldn't run my career that way if I were primarily a performing musician, either: I would want to be paid as a trombonist, but I wouldn't expect to pay for the privilege of being considered as a potential trombonist (although it can be argued that union dues are just that). I've already paid enough in tuition, technology, website fees, books, scores and all the rest. I'll happily submit my music for consideration, but I can't say that I'm excited about attaching a check, and I generally won't if that's a requirement. There is one gig that I regularly pay to be a part of, TubaChristmas, but I do that just because it's fun, and I like pulling out my euphonium and my silly scarf and just making music and meeting new people in a setting that more-or-less only brings joy to everyone connected with it.
I find that most composition prizes that are a big deal–the ones that would really make a difference in a composer's career by getting the winner notice on a national or international level outside the new music community–don't have an entry fee. I'm thinking of MTNA-Shepard, ABA-Ostwald, Graewemeyer, NBA-Revelli, Barlow and similar awards. If a composer were to win one of these, there's a hefty prize from the organization's endowment or dues, and it's safe to assume that musicians would take notice (on the other hand, there are no guarantees…).
The prizes that have smaller awards and generate the funds for those awards through entrance fees (presumably) are smaller potatoes. Sometimes they are just artists or organizations looking for new music for their program, and trying to generate interest by offering a prize. Not having prize money in hand, it has to come from somewhere, as does the money that pays for the expense of having the contest. I'm mixed on this–it's great to want to program new music by a wide variety of composers, but why does the composition community have to bear this cost? Maybe it would make more sense to commission a local composer or two who will bring their family and friends, who will become patrons when they buy tickets to the performance. Of course, as one of my teachers said, half-jokingly, a prophet is without honor in his hometown (that said, my hometown, Columbus, has been relatively good to me, although arts organizations there aren't knocking on my door–I have better luck when I knock on theirs).
And composers–if we keep sending in our entry fees, don't we just perpetuate the process? Doesn't it feel a little bit dirty, knowing that your score only got looked at because there was a check paper-clipped to it?
And yes, SCI charges dues and registration fees. It is a voluntary organization with expenses, and dues make perfect sense, even if we never put on a performance of a single piece. Registration fees are for composers whose work is accepted to a conference, not for composers who just want to submit their score, and anyone can submit, with the understanding that they will need to pay their dues before coming to the conference. This makes more sense than charging higher dues so that conference attendance can be free, doesn't it? The value of the time donated to SCI by members who run the organization and by non-members who perform at our conferences far outweighs the value of the money spent on dues and conference registration, I am certain of it. Like Schoenberg's Society for Private Performances, we're a group of people interested in new music (including our own), so we put on concerts occasionally. This has been a viable model for two centuries, and continues to be so in the absence of massive government patronage. This is what brought Haydn, Beethoven and Mozart to the middle class.
The author of that fourth post suggested that university composers have the support they need and can find plenty of performance opportunities on campus. My experience being around university music for the better part of two decades suggests that this isn't the case. Even in the best situations, university music departments don't exist to simply play the music of faculty composers, just as English departments don't give over their entire curricula to the works of faculty authors. Music majors need to have a chance to play new music, of course, but they also need to play in various styles. No composer is going to get tenure just by having on-campus performances, and even if that were possible, very few ensemble directors would be willing to give a place on every concert to a faculty composer.
And at any rate, the thrill of composition is as much in the preparation of a piece as it is in the actual performance. If I were on faculty at a school where everything I wrote would be performed, I would hope that I would still want to seek out new and different venues and performers for the sake of developing relationships with collaborators who would help me see music in a new way. It seems to me that charging an entry fee puts a damper on that aspect of music making because it sets a tone for the relationship that reduces it to a business transaction–or a lottery drawing, as was suggested earlier.
In the end, composing is about sharing part of ourselves with others–listeners and performers. I'm not saying that I haven't paid or won't pay a contest entry fee, but it doesn't make a lot of sense to do that on a regular basis.

Post subject: Another OSIF console
I have been busy during the last days programming a workbench for OpenServo. I have put together a console that can flash servos and also configure them, backup and restore the configurations, test the servos, read and record any register at any time interval, run user scripts, and more
The console can easily accept new registers mappings and new r/w protocols by adding a single module; so we can use it for any code variant.
It can also be fitted to drive adapters through parallel port, serial port, etc..
Now in late alpha phase, it is written in Python. You can have a preview and download the code at some site.
I cannot post the link, take the first letter or use the symbols to get the address:

I just tried it, and ran into a problem. Here's what I have installed according to the add/remove manager on XP.
wxPython126.96.36.199 (unicode) for Python 2.6
Python 2.6.4
Python 2.6 pyusb-0.4.2
Python 2.5.2
Python 2.5 pyusb-0.4.1
I have intelhex-0.9.0, but haven't put it anywhere where it might be of use yet. I'll figure out where it should go a bit later on I guess. I think I simply put it in the project folder, or perhaps add it to the system path. Double clicking popped up a brief window that went away. So I launched it with idle, and here's what it told me.
Traceback (most recent call last):
File "Y:\blah\OSIF_console\src\OSIFconsole.py", line 29, in <module>
import wx.lib.agw.aui as aui
ImportError: No module named agw.aui
It appears that's part of wxPython, so I should have it. I see I'm slightly out dated, so I upgraded to wxPython 126.96.36.199 now add/remove reports
wxPython22.214.171.124 (unicode) for Python 2.6
Python 2.6 pyusb-0.4.3
So it appears you really do need 2.8.10 or higher. However, I now get this message.
IDLE 2.6.4 ==== No Subprocess ====
Traceback (most recent call last):
File "Y:\blah\OSIF_console\src\OSIFconsole.py", line 32, in <module>

import osif
File "Y:\blah\OSIF_console\src\osif.py", line 47, in <module>
import usb.core
ImportError: No module named core
I'll try a blind reboot and see if that helps. [edit] no luck with the reboot[/edit]

I got my pyusb from
It appears to have a link to the source code (zip and tar.gz) and it specifies "Looking for the latest version?" with an exe. I'll see what happens when I try follow the install instructions in the code version? I originally grabbed the exe because it felt like it would iron out some install details.

Following the install instructions appears to have worked. It appears python isn't in my path so I ran the setup like this C:\Python26\python.exe setup.py install
Then it complained about intelhex. So I copied intelhex.py into the src directory, and that appears to have worked. Now it's complaining like this
raise ImportError, "Numeric,numarray or NumPy not found. \n" + msg
ImportError: Numeric,numarray or NumPy not found.
This module requires the Numeric/numarray or NumPy module,
which could not be imported. It probably is not installed
(it's not part of the standard Python distribution). See the

So it's off to download and install NumPy for py2.6 and it now fires up with out complaint. Seems there is something wrong with this OSIF I have here. It's not recognized by my machine. Not sure if that's a drive problem on this machine or not. I'll have to look at it a bit closer some time. However I'm running out of time today.

I see the web page notes the creative commons licence, and the code notes GNU. Most of OS has been MIT. I'm curious, are you particularly tied to GNU, or would you consider MIT? Darius was tied to GNU due to concerns of weak copy left. I believe your code can be different if you so choose, as I believe it's not derived work, so you can break the viral component of GNU if you feel.
I have a mild preference for MIT, because it frees me from having to worry about the licencing junk. However I don't mind GNU as I understand that some folks are concerned about maintaining some rights to their work.

Nice work, looks like a nice addition to the tools we have.
Python is a particularly nice way of doing this in a portable way. You could even compile the whole thing into a self packing exe for the windows folk.
I can't do anything about you posting links, the link ban will lift once you make 3 clean posts and are around for a week or so.
Let us know if you want to put it in the CVS when ready!

Post subject: Version alpha 0.5
There is a new version on my website. I added servo personnality modules to manage many versions of OpenServo. Stilll it is Alpha software grade, missing mainly in documentation, error recovery and user interface niceties.
Have a nice holiday!

Still missing documentation that will be the main addition for the next release.

fantastic. This is looking really good for inclusion into the project, maybe as a centerpiece!
When I get some time I will give the new version a go and see if I can port the curve engine to it
