This is such a cute 10 minute movie from the 50s about the importance of the family dinner. It includes such tips as "don't monopolize the conversation", and "don't discuss unpleasant topics". Still true today! :)

Bible Stories
I've been helping my mom get some things sorted for her move and today she gave me a Bible story book. It used to belong to my aunt, my mother's younger sister. It's so cute! It has readings for 52 Sundays with three stories for each Sunday; morning, noon and evening. It was published in 1957.
Here is a quote about the author, Charlotte Yonge, a Victorian era author, from the preface:
Clicking the names of the titles will take you to copies of these books that you can read online.
I think I'll go ahead and start reading these stories to the kids every Sunday. They still love when I read out loud and I enjoy it too.
Here is a quote about the author, Charlotte Yonge, a Victorian era author, from the preface:
There was then less distinction between books for the young and those for adults. this appeal to a wider age range was probably due to the habit of families reading out loud. Miss Yonge, therefore, had devoted readers in all categories, and among her adult admirers were some very impressive personages, such as: William Morris, Burne-Jones, Rossetti, Tennyson, and Lewis Carroll. Some of Miss Yonge's best-known works are The Heir of Redclyffe, The Trail and The Daisy Chain.
Clicking the names of the titles will take you to copies of these books that you can read online.
I think I'll go ahead and start reading these stories to the kids every Sunday. They still love when I read out loud and I enjoy it too.

The Simple Woman's Daybook
FOR TODAY (October 27, 2008)...
Outside My Window...
The sun is shining and it's chilly with a very slight breeze.
I am thinking...
About our sermon yesterday. It was so good and I know I'll be thinking about it all week.
I am thankful for...
The "new" chair and ottoman that my mom gave me. It won't fit into their new house.
From the kitchen...
We're having tortilla soup and grilled cheese sandwiches tonight. I'm thinking I may make some homemade bread too.
I am wearing...
Black track pants, a pink sweatshirt that says "Mom", and pink tennis shoes. Not the cutest thing, but it's warm. I was COLD when I got up this morning. We are waiting as long as possible to turn on the heater.
I am creating...
A new furniture arrangement in my den/play room.
I am going...
To vote today
I am reading...
The November/December issue of Southern Accents. One of my many freebies courtesy of iMommies.
I am hoping...
To get all my laundry done today.
I am hearing...
The clock ticking and our canary chirping.
Around the house...
I going to clean the master bathroom today and go through my magazines to toss the ones I'm finished reading. I also need to clean out my purse and water the houseplants.
One of my favorite things...
Memories of the children when they were small. We got out their baby books last night and read through them. I can't believe how much they have grown! Where does the time go?
A Few Plans For The Rest Of The Week:
The girls are in desperate need of some warm PJs. Hopefully I can get a good deal on some at the thrift store.
Here is a picture thought that I am sharing...
I walked out on my front porch to sweep a few days ago and there were two sweet little butterflies enjoying my chrysanthemums. One flew off just as I snapped the picture, but at least I got this one to pose. :)

Cleaning Ceiling Fans
Living Area with Ceiling Fan
Here in Texas it is WAY too hot in the summertime not to have ceiling fans in every room. I know the designers on Trading Spaces don't like them, but I'm not planning on doing without. :)
Now that the ceiling fans are finally still, I can't believe how dirty they are! It's really odd how dirty they can get while moving so fast. I spent a good part of the day today standing on chairs and cleaning them.
I like to vacuum the edges of the blades where the most dust accumulates with the brush tool on my vacuum cleaner first. This helps keep it from landing in the carpet or on the furniture. Then I spray cleaner on one blade at a time and wipe down with a soft cloth. It's also a good idea to wash the globes on the light fixture part too while you're at it.
I know I should be cleaning light fixtures and fans way more often than I do, but at least I'm getting to them finally. :)

Holly Hobbie Apron
The girls helped me bake cookies yesterday so of course we had to get out the aprons. I thought you might like to see Cindy's Holly Hobbie apron. She had never even heard of Holly Hobbie until she got the apron, but she loves it. My best gal pal ordered it from Ebay for me (I still haven't figured out the whole Ebay thing...I know, I'm behind the times). I loved Holly Hobbie back in the 70s and I was thrilled for Cindy to have this retro apron.

Quiz: Are You a Master Chef or a Novice Cook?
Take this fun quiz from Martha Stewart. Let me know your score. I got 5 out of 8. Not all that great and I've been cooking for many years!

Planting Pansies
The girls and I planted pansies yesterday. Pansies usually do very well in the winter here and we often plant them in the fall so we can enjoy them until it gets too hot in the summer. They are winter hardy in zones 4 through 8 (we are in zone 7).
The girls aren't too fond of weeding and some other types of yard work, but they LOVE planting flowers and seeds. They are more willing to weed the flower beds if they planted the flowers. It's also a nice way for us to spend time together. We can enjoy being outside and being quiet if we want, or talking if we want.
Some of the neighbor children stopped by to see what we were doing and it turned into sort of an impromptu gardening lesson. They wanted to know why we were planting flowers in the fall, so I told them about pansies and how they can survive a freeze and even snow. We also turned up a few grubs while we were digging (ewww!) so we had a little talk about that too as I threw the grubs onto the sidewalk and encouraged the kids to stomp on them. I know, gross, but I would rather have them squished on the sidewalk where I can wash them off than eating my flower roots. :)

The Simple Woman's Daybook
FOR TODAY (Monday, October 20th)...
Outside My Window...It is warm and perfect. The sky is SO blue.
I am thinking...
Of Peter in Iraq. He's emailed almost every day lately and I love being in touch with him. I miss being able to call him.
I am thankful for...
Modern technology that enables Peter to stay in touch with us. From the kitchen...
Cherry - Pineapple dump cake for dessert
I am wearing...
A long brown knit skirt, white t-shirt with a ruffled neckline, and bare feet.
I am creating...
A scarf for Mike with gorgeous chocolate brown wool yarn.
I am going...
To pick up Bobby from football practice.

Fall Ball is Over!
Don't you love my excellent photography skills? Cindy is the little dot with the black shirt and white sleeves in the middle of the picture.
Fall Ball is over and even though I've enjoyed it I have to say I'm glad. Less driving for me to do every week. Cindy's poor little team didn't win a single game. Fall Ball is supposed to be all about learning though, so they didn't take it too hard.
It's funny how different it is to watch girls play softball as opposed to boys play baseball. The girls cheer for each other the whole time and are so encouraging to each other. Then when the game is over both teams do a little dance in the middle of the field. It's so cute.
Cindy is not an athlete by any means, but I think softball has been good for her. She's learned to work with a team, listen to a coach and swing a bat. All skills that could potentially come in handy. :)

Links of Interest
Thought I would share some interesting things I've come across while surfing the internet this week.
Do you know what's for dinner tonight? I usually plan my menus a week at a time, but sometimes I need a little inspiration in planning. I love Martha Stewart's magazine Everyday Food and I saw in the October issue that they have a blog called Dinner Tonight. It's updated everyday at noon. I bookmarked it so I can go back often.
Have you ever wondered how we as Christians should respond to the issue of homosexual marriage? I found an excellent article titled Gender Identity, The Homosexual Agenda and The Christian Response
Just for fun take this quiz to see which presidential candidate you agree with.
Dr. Laura comments on women being dumb about beauty and fashion.
The Tasha Tudor online store. There are so many pretty things here. I love the greeting cards.

A Sure Sign of Fall
It must be Fall because I've taken up knitting again. It's just too hot in the summer, but I love to knit when the weather gets cool. Isn't that the prettiest brown wool yarn?
I've decided that I'm a "process knitter". It's all about the process rather than the outcome for me. Knitting is soothing and enjoyable and hey, whadaya know? You get something useful out of it in the end! :) Maybe that's why I've never really had the desire to knit anything complicated with lots of counting. I felt sort of bad about that for a while, but I've decided that's OK to enjoy something without ever really mastering it.

I Hate Smoke Detectors
Smoke Detector Going Off
OK, I don't really hate smoke detectors, but I was not very happy with ours last night. We have a ridiculous number of smoke detectors in our house (my father-in-law is a retired fireman) so every bedroom and every hallway has one.
Last night about 2:00AM the one in the girls' bedroom AND the one in the hall outside their door decided they had low batteries and needed to start chirping. It's a very high pitched and annoying sound. Of course this woke the girls up and they had to wake us up to tell us they couldn't sleep with all that noise.
So, Mike drug a chair out of the kitchen to stand on and took out the batteries thinking we would get to the store to buy replacements the next day. But guess what? The smoke detectors are hardwired into the house, so that didn't stop the chirping. He took the smoke detectors down and unplugged them...that didn't work either. They were STILL chirping and by this time the boys were also awake and everyone was standing in the hall looking at the ceiling. Well, except me. I was in bed with a pillow over my head trying to go back to sleep. He finally put them in the linen closet and covered them with a couple of towels hoping to muffle the sound (which I didn't discover until this morning).
Needless to say, it took a while before we were all settled back into our beds and no one wanted to get up this morning, me included. I can't really sleep with a pillow over my head. :)
I guess there's a lesson in all this. Replace those batteries BEFORE the smoke detectors start chirping so they don't wake you up in the wee hours.

On My Nightstand
I LOVE to read and always have one or more books going at a time. I recently finished all my library books, but haven't had time to check out any more. Greg saw that I was perusing our bookshelves looking for something to read and he suggested one of his favorites, The Weight of Glory by C.S. Lewis.
It's a series of sermons that Lewis gave during World War II. So far, I have only read the first one (the title essay), but it is fantastic, as one would expect from C.S. Lewis. He points out in this essay that we as human beings are eternal creatures. Our bodies will die, but we are created as "immortal". Our souls will endure one way or the other. It really makes me look at people in a new way. "The load, the weight, the burden of my neighbor's glory should be laid on my back, a load so heavy that only humility can carry it.... All day long we are, in some degree, helping each other to one of the other of these destinations [heaven or hell]." (pp. 46-47)
Why have I never thought of it that way before? This essay alone makes me glad to have the book.

High School Football Player
It's homecoming season here which means mum making season for all the moms. The local high school football team is gearing up for the "big game".
I'm just realizing in searching the internet for ideas and pictures of mums, that this is a regional thing. I guess I thought everyone made a big deal out of homecoming. I should have known it would be only here in Texas and other parts of the South where we love our football so much.
Here's what Channel 5 from the Dallas/Forth Worth area says about the tradition of homecoming mums:
They're big, gaudy, and expensive, but what's the history of the homecoming mum? From its simple start to impressive current incarnation, the homecoming mum is just one of the things that is "bigger in Texas."
Starting around the 1920s, the original design of the homecoming mum was simply a Chrysanthemum flower attached to a ribbon that allowed the "mum" to be attached to a piece of clothing. Due to the relatively fragile nature of the flower, only minor elements could be added like extra ribbons with the school's name or colors.
At its start, mums were given by a boyfriend to a girlfriend, and while that tradition continues on today, giving "friendship" mums also gained popularity.
In the 1960s, though, the once small act of giving mums started to become a much larger endeavor as silk versions of the mum flowers were made available. Since then, mum popularity has increased, as has their size.
"The gaudier, the better," said Gail Currie of ACI Wholesale, one of the largest suppliers of homecoming merchandise in the southwest.
"Mums started in Texas, but we've shipped as far as Arizona and Illinois," Currie went on to say. "We've even shipped supplies to Germany."
Booster clubs and other organizations help students build mums that can last on in time with silk flowers, beads, and all the bells and whistles – literally.
"The girls just want them big and flashy," Currie said.
Now, it's rare to see the small mums started nearly 90 years ago, and with homecoming games just around the corner, the mums will soon be blossoming across north Texas.
Here's a picture of a modern day mum and you can find instructions for making one here. Of course the colors and charms will be tailored to your high school colors and mascot.
When I was in high school the mums were ordered from a florist, but now they are often made by the mom of the boy who will be giving the mum. Every craft store in town claims to be "your homecoming mum headquarters".
I know it may seem a little silly to those in other parts of the country, but they are lots of fun to make and I know the girls love wearing them. What other time in your life do you get to wear so many ribbons and bells? :)
I would be very interested in hearing from all of you what homecoming traditions are (if any) where you are from.

Doom and Gloom or Lesson Learned?
TV Set
Every time I turn on the TV (which is less and less often these days) all I see is negativity and fear. Frankly, I believe that we should learn from all this and realize that we can't just buy things with no thought as to how we will pay for them and to take responsibility for our poor choices both financial and otherwise. Is is really a bad thing that it's not quite so easy to get a huge mortgage or a credit card?
A few years ago Mike and I were thinking of moving for his job (we didn't). We even started looking at houses and got pre-approved for a mortgage. The bank approved us for a ridiculously large amount that was DOUBLE the price range we were looking at. What if we had gotten ourselves into that kind of house payment? Just because a bank or credit card company is willing to let you spend the money doesn't mean you should. Sometimes we have to learn that the hard way, don't we?

Breakfast for Supper
We had breakfast for supper tonight. It's fun to switch things around every now and then, plus breakfast foods are often cheaper than an ordinary supper. Breakfast casseroles are usually easily refrigerated until ready to bake, so I put this one together this afternoon and it was so easy to just pop in the oven after I picked up Bobby from football practice. Then all I had to do was open a can of fruit and make some toast to go with it.
This is the recipe I used (except I doubled it which means I had to cook it longer and I toasted the bread first). You can find lots more breakfast casserole recipes here.
I love to put flowers and seasonal items on my front doorstep. I think it makes the house seem more welcoming. Today I set out a pot of chrysanthemums to go with the pumpkins that my mom grew and my little flag (sort of hidden behind the flowers).

House Hunting
The ranch has gotten to be more than my parents want to tackle, so in about a month they are going to be moving closer to town. They still want to have a couple of acres for the horses, but no more "middle of nowhere, dirt road" living.
I went house hunting with Mom yesterday and we had such a good time! I would love to tag along with a realtor for a couple of days just so I could see all the houses. One in particular that we looked at yesterday I just fell in love with. Her style reminded me of Ruthann's. She wasn't there of course when we looked at the house, but I wanted to ask the realtor to give her my phone number and see if she would be my friend. :) Her house was just so warm and cute that she must be the same. I want to know the names of all her paint colors and where she bought everything and did she put up the bead board in the bathroom herself, and...
I'm inspired to take a fresh look at my house and see what I can do on my (extremely) limited budget.

Apple Cobbler
My sweet mother (she of the gigantic watermelons) went apple picking and brought me some apples. One of my favorite things to make when I get fresh fruit like this is a cobbler. I figure that at least a cobbler has less calories than a pie since there is only one crust. I'm all about saving calories. :)
First you need to prepare the apples. Peel and slice the apples until you have 6 to 8 cups of fruit. Put the apple slices into a large bowl.
Pour 1 cup of white sugar, 1/2 cup of brown sugar, 1 teaspoon cinnamon, 1/2 teaspoon nutmeg, and 1 teaspoon lemon juice over the apples. Stir gently and let sit for a few minutes while you make the crust. If the fruit is really juicy, stir in 2 heaping tablespoons of cornstarch.
Now make the crust. I use my old standby Crisco pie crust, doubled. It's just so good and flaky.
Here is the recipe for the single pie crust (remember to double it for the cobbler).
1 1/3 cup sifted all-purpose flour
1/2 tsp. salt
1/2 cup Crisco
4 Tbsp. cold water
Combine flour and salt and cut in Crisco until crumbly like coarse cornmeal. Add the water; toss with a fork and make a firm ball with your hands. Place on a floured surface; flatten dough with hand and roll to about 1/4 inch thickness.
Now pour your apples into a greased 9 x 13 pan and dot with 2 or 3 tablespoons of butter or margarine.
Place the crust on top and prick the crust with a fork or knife. Dot the top with a couple of tablespoons of butter and sprinkle 2 or 3 tablespoons of sugar all over.
Place in a 425 degree oven for 15 minutes, then turn the oven down to 350 and bake for another 30 to 40 minutes.
It's fantastic served warm with ice cream.

In the calculus of communication, writing coherent paragraphs that your fellow human beings can comprehend and understand is far more difficult than tapping out a few lines of software code that the interpreter or compiler won't barf on.
That's why, when it comes to code, all the documentation probably sucks. And because writing for people is way harder than writing for machines, the documentation will continue to suck for the forseeable future. There's very little you can do about it.
Except for one thing.
You can learn to read the source, Luke.
The transformative power of "source always included" in JavaScript is a major reason why I coined – and continue to believe in – Atwood's Law. Even if "view source" isn't built in (but it totally should be), you should demand access to the underlying source code for your stack. No matter what the documentation says, the source code is the ultimate truth, the best and most definitive and up-to-date documentation you're likely to find. This will be true forever, so the sooner you come to terms with this, the better off you'll be as a software developer.
I had a whole entry I was going to write about this, and then I discovered Brandon Bloom's brilliant post on the topic at Hacker News. Read closely, because he explains the virtue of reading source, and in what context you need to read the source, far better than I could:
I started working with Microsoft platforms professionally at age 15 or so. I worked for Microsoft as a software developer doing integration work on Visual Studio. More than ten years after I first wrote a line of Visual Basic, I wish I could never link against a closed library ever again.
Using software is different than building software. When you're using most software for its primary function, it's a well worn path. Others have encountered the problems and enough people have spoken up to prompt the core contributors to correct the issue. But when you're building software, you're doing something new. And there are so many ways to do it, you'll encounter unused bits, rusty corners, and unfinished experimental code paths. You'll encounter edge cases that have been known to be broken, but were worked around.
Sometimes, the documentation isn't complete. Sometimes, it's wrong. The source code never lies. For an experienced developer, reading the source can often be faster… especially if you're already familiar with the package's architecture. I'm in a medium-sized co-working space with several startups. A lot of the other CTOs and engineers come to our team for guidance and advice on occasion. When people report a problem with their stack, the first question I ask them is: "Well, did you read the source code?"
I encourage developers to git clone anything and everything they depend on. Initially, they are all afraid. "That project is too big, I'll never find it!" or "I'm not smart enough to understand it" or "That code is so ugly! I can't stand to look at it". But you don't have to search the whole thing, you just need to follow the trail. And if you can't understand the platform below you, how can you understand your own software? And most of the time, what inexperienced developers consider beautiful is superficial, and what they consider ugly, is battle-hardened production-ready code from master hackers. Now, a year or two later, I've had a couple of developers come up to me and thank me for forcing them to sink or swim in other people's code bases. They are better at their craft and they wonder how they ever got anything done without the source code in the past.
When you run a business, if your software has a bug, your customers don't care if it is your fault or Linus' or some random Rails developer's. They care that your software is bugged. Everyone's software becomes my software because all of their bugs are my bugs. When something goes wrong, you need to seek out what is broken, and you need to fix it. You fix it at the right spot in the stack to minimize risks, maintenance costs, and turnaround time. Sometimes, a quick workaround is best. Other times, you'll need to recompile your compiler. Often, you can ask someone else to fix it upstream, but just as often, you'll need to fix it yourself.
- Closed-software shops have two choices: beg for generosity, or work around it.
- Open source shops with weaker developers tend to act the same as closed-software shops.
- Older shops tend to slowly build the muscles required to maintain their own forks and patches and whatnot.
True hackers have come to terms with a simple fact: If it runs on my machine, it's my software. I'm responsible for it. I must understand it. Building from source is the rule and not an exception. I must control my environment and I must control my dependencies.

Definitive and most up to date? Without question.
Best? That's arguable, and depends on the code base. Learning a language from the source (say Python or SQL) is a really bad idea. Best practices and KISS for the code is not something you'll learn from that.
@sqlrob: The answer to your point is in the middle of the article, and nowhere near as prominent as it should be. "you should demand access to the underlying source code for your stack" Emphasis mine.
Certainly for learning languages there is no substitute for expert guidance, whether it's through books, classes, etc.
But for any libraries that your code depends on, you will at some point wish you had the source code, even if it's a mess. The more critical a particular library or service becomes, the more important being able to see the details of its operation becomes.
William Furr on April 16, 2012 1:48 PMI would very much like a "Read the source, Luke" t-shirt.
Hayden Muhl on April 16, 2012 2:09 PMGranted I've only been in this industry for 9 years, but "maintain their own forks and patches" seems like advice that should only be used as a last resort.
When you do this you really hurt your upgrade path, and it is easy to get stuck with certain versions of software. I still cringe when I think of the shops have to use windows xp and IE 6 because of these kinds of dependencies (of course this is probably more due to activeX).
Sam Thomas on April 16, 2012 2:14 PMI read code for fun. Well, for enjoyment. And, yes, real code too, not just the clever algorithms and snippets that abound on the web.
Account Deleted on April 16, 2012 2:17 PM"fine evening reading through some else's code is absurd". Really? I've done that a lot of times. There is code out there that is worth reading. For me it is a way of learning, and I really enjoy it.
Diegosevilla on April 16, 2012 2:19 PMThis is one that drives me nuts on iOS. I'm forced to class dump and decompile to understand the issue or the undocumented behavior.
In Android, it's easier because the source. Unfortunately it lags really far back from the binary release before it becomes open. It's frustrating.
On the .NET stack, Microsoft listened and they include the source stubs in a download that Visual Studio will download. If you are stepping through into a system library, it shows you the actual source code (to level but it's better than nothing).
A Facebook User on April 16, 2012 2:32 PMAbsolutely true. I've been using SlickGrid for data display clientside for a while now. It's an amazingly capable library, but it has nearly no documentation. Fortunately for me, the source code is very well written; I learned more digging through the source than I ever would have found through Google.
Nicholas Flynt on April 16, 2012 2:32 PMReading source code is hard. This is mostly because the order that we read it is often not the order that we write it. The order really matters. In addition, the context and the reasons 'why' the code looks like it does is usually not present in the code.
Version control systems do not record this order or context. They take snapshots. A lot of interesting things happen in between the snapshots. This means a good deal of information is left on the cutting room floor.
Further, there is a narrative in our heads while we write code. This narrative has all the context and reasons why we are doing things in it. We almost never write this narrative down anywhere. We remember it for a little while but eventually it escapes into the ether.
I am working on a tool that records almost all of the data associated with a programming session and allows a developer to tell a 'story' about what they did and why. It has version control functionality (branching and merging) but offers a more useful documentation tool than simple commit messages.
People can use these stories to:

A Facebook User on April 16, 2012 2:32 PMFun Fact: "Read the source, luke" was the standard answer on FreeBSD mailings lists some 10~15 years ago, whenever someone asked a question about how something worked. That is, whenever that question was asked on the developers mailing lists.
Account Deleted on April 16, 2012 2:33 PMYou could've gotten your point across in 5-10 lines, everything after the first 2-3 paragraphs is just you repeating yourself. Also, why don't you follow your own advice and release the source code for Stackoverflow?
And its funny that you invented your own rule and call it the Atwood rule. Its also a bit sad.
Account Deleted on April 16, 2012 3:26 PMyou also want want to read source code to learn from it even if not part of your stack
it can help you to learn a new language, understand differences between languages, etc.
but most importantly, reading high quality source code
can teach you a lot about programming and in a very short time
Re open sourcing Stack Overflow: Jeff actually pushed for this in the early days of Stack Overflow, but he got push back on it and they never did it. And to be fair, they have open sourced several pieces of it that make sense to utilize in other projects. And then of course they license the content under creative commons, which I find quite admirable.
Also, I don't think open sourcing Stack Overflow really helps much as far as the point he is making... Stack Overflow shouldn't really be an element in your stack, unless you are developing a stack app. Thus almost nobody really needs the source to overcome programming obstacles for their application.
Mike Virata-Stone on April 16, 2012 3:58 PM"Nobody reads other people's code for fun." - Re:@Daniel Sobral
I used to browse SourceForge and Google code to learn new concepts of programming languages I wasn't entirely familiar with...
Mike Roberts on April 16, 2012 4:53 PMNobody reads other people's code for fun? Hmmm...
I have fond memories of lounging on a sofa, reading printouts of Quake's source. Those were very informative and entertaining sessions.
I prefer Drambuie or Grand Marnier, but sitting back with a hardcopy of my latest source and a pen (red, preferred, I have a Lamy fountain pen with dark red ink in a converter) is one of my highest productivity times. The code typically works, but all the inefficiencies, errors, junk, remain awaiting markup.
Documenting code is an art, but futile in most cases as the source will be a moving target. At best, it is an ought - but regression or unit test source are better enforcerers.
The whole "read the source code, luke" is fine. News at eleven. Same with the whole "comments probably suck".
But the emphasis should always be on correct and informative comments and on correct and informative documentation. Always demand the source code for your stack, but demand even more comments and documentation.
Mario Figueiredo on April 16, 2012 6:57 PMholly craps! i'm an old dinosaur been coding for 33 years!
let me put my two cents on helping source code to be SELF documented...
you need to learn just TWO keys:
1) TAB (aka, tab key, chr(9))
2) LF (aka enter key, CR, LF, CR+LF, chr(10), chr(13)... and so)
and don't be shy... be overgenerous! :-)
i mean...
any rookie can use SHIFT-F2 all the time, but there is a very hidden pleasure on pressing PG-DN until you RECOGNIZE the part of code you're looking for
could be just for hackers, indeed, but doing it in double 20+ inches' this day monitors... feels reaaaaaaly cooool :-)
if almost everybody learn to use tab for "horizontal" indent... why not encourage them to do the same with "vertical" indentation, separating pieces of code in meaningful and recognizable (i swear) chunks?
this relies in a past century theory about using both your brain hemispheres AT ONCE, the logical one and the "visual/creative" one
be an intellectual-artist!
Seems to me there are three levels.
1) read docs.
2) read source.
3) write it yourself.
Obviously each involves more time that could be spent doing other things; the ideal if you are using a common tool is to have good docs. But it's facile to suggest that one should just read the source when encountering a problem implementing a program, plugin, module, what have you. Am I going to read ffmpeg source when it borks in ./configure? Probably not. Will I use an un-minified jquery plugin to trace the source of an error? Almost always. Sometimes reading source is a really good idea. Other times it means you are looking in the wrong place for your solution. Ask the bear. If the bear won't answer, then read the source.
I've found that I can't always find the answer from diving into the source code, but it often leads me to finding a more targeted question to work with, and it always helps me understand the underlying processes at work better. I feel as though if more questions were framed with references to the source code, they may get more answers as they've shown a good-faith attempt and provide a good context to help others dig into the problem.
Steve on April 16, 2012 9:26 PMGreat article Jeff.... :)
Currently I am working on same code base as it have very less documentation, but after reading this article I am inspired so much.
Keep posting such a nice and creative article... good luck. :)
Account Deleted on April 16, 2012 9:29 PMI think that reading the source is perhaps the quickest way to see what is going on so you can get something done. But when it comes to designing software, it is a good idea to have a spec to design to, rather than just the code, because the spec may provide the intention of the code, whereas the code itself is providing the implementation, which is more likely to change (one would hope, anyway).
If there is a difference, it's best to try to submit a bug report or tech support request of some sort, if this is possible, to clarify things.
But, in the end, the code needs to work, so it's best to read both and try to figure out which side is right.
If you always need to understand the platform below (to understand your application), doesn't it come to understanding machine code and even electrical signals? I actually do support the idea that software developers (all sorts of programmers, actually) would be better off by basically reading the source instead of opening tens of support tickets when documentation isn't helping -- I just found that statement a bit too extreme.
Egeozcan on April 17, 2012 12:56 AMThe source may well be the most up to date and the 'truth', but it is by no means correct.
Although not a big fan of documenting the obvious I think that specifications should be mandatory, this way you know what the expectations were of the application, and the source code can not, and should not be the definitive source of such information. However I do agree that, particularly when bug fixing, you should be drilling down straight into the source and not much else if you want a speedy resolution, and all developers should be capable of doing this.
I think documentation pays off when you are providing reusable frameworks and other software, and even then it should be basic guidelines etc.
K Lawrence on April 17, 2012 2:25 AMDamnit Jeff, I just spent the last 20 minutes looking for an easter egg in your html source code.
Micsco on April 17, 2012 2:40 AMI agree with K Lawrence. The source code says what the application/library/widget does, not what is supposed to do. Some kind of documentation is needed.
Whenever I use a method or library created by someone else, inside my company or outside I don't want to look into the source code unless unavoidable. I just want to know how to call it, or what it does, or what is the flow.
For self-improving reasons I will want to read the code. But for the completion of the work, shouldn't be necessary.
Jorge Gueorguiev Garcia on April 17, 2012 2:59 AMWhile there are some correct observations regarding the availability of source code, i'd like to focus at the start of the article, where i strongly disagree.
In short, it says "Documentation always suck in many ways and it will always do. Don't even lose your time with it, just read the code". And since it is useless this also implies that you should not bother to write it. That's absolutely WRONG in my opinion.
A complete documentation is important, it's not just a reference to what a function does. It also tells you what classes are available and when you should use them. If it is properly written it's much better than trying to read the source cose which may use a syntax you're not used to and various implementation details that you can't know. Try to read subversion source code.
Just yesterday i was reading a discussion on git where the developer used Javascript implicit statement separator (which means you don't put the semicolon) and expression short-circuit instead of a normal if statement. The first of these even breaks some javascript minimizers. Am i supposed to read the code, understand these patterns, figure out what they're doing and what that var is used to instead of just reading a good documentation? That's crazy.
Good documentation is a must, don't oversee it.
Zmaster . on April 17, 2012 3:08 AMSo it is possible to read someone elses code afterall!
Frantisek on April 17, 2012 4:22 AMSigh. So, another blow for cowboy/hero coding is struck. "Documentation is haaard!" So... just give up?
No. Documentation is essential. Sorry. If your code is clear, concise, self-documenting, that's great, I totally support that (and, even if it's not, I still want your source code), but I want to point out that that sort of lovely self-documenting code comes about because the coder thought of the person to come after, so that coder actually wrote DOCUMENTATION (it just happens to be executable).
Coding in a furball, piling up hacks, refusing to document and then handing the whole steaming mess to somebody who asks questions is chickenshit.
I have so had it with people using agile and "use the source, Luke" as an excuse for bad behavior. Yes, I know that if developers had the kind of social skills required for writing good documentation (as in: understanding the audience enough to know what questions they'll have, given that they're not an exact clone of you, the developer) they'd be something besides coders, but the answer is not "give up and tell 'em to read the code."
Johnl4 on April 17, 2012 6:00 AMThis is a contentious view because everyone has their own experience of code and documentation.
A few thousand lines of source code doesn't need much documentation.
Tens of millions of lines probably needs some.
A trivial system probably doesn't need much.
A complex system probably does.
A system with lots of external interfaces and dependencies probably needs some.
Where I think all experienced developers agree is that code must be written with support and maintenance in mind.
Whether or not the system also needs documentation depends on the system and the context in which it will be maintained over its life.
This is one of the reasons I don't like abstraction layers. You can't predict exactly what they're going to do, and you [mostly] can't read the source code to find out.
Ole Eichhorn on April 17, 2012 10:41 AMI think I appreciate the point you're trying to make and I agree that people would do well to learn to read the source.
However, I disagree with your statement "No matter what the documentation says, the source code is the ultimate truth, the best and most definitive and up-to-date documentation you're likely to find."
(Good) documentation is a description of what the software designer/programmer wanted to write, the code is what they ended up writing. If all goes well, these two are the same. But if mistakes were made, odds are only one of the two is wrong and the other offers a clue what was really intended.
Note that this also implies that, sometimes, the code can help fix broken documentation.
Jaap Van der Velde on April 17, 2012 11:32 AMA couple of ways that source code can lie:
1) Wrong code revision: The source you're looking at is from version 3.00, but you're actually running on version 3.14.159.This mostly happens when you used pre-compiled binaries instead of building the application/library yourself. Or because you Googled for the relevant source keyword instead of searching through your own local source files.
2) Wrong file(s): You *think* that you're looking at the right code, but it turns out that it's an unused copy or variant that isn't actually what's compiled into the library you're using. This often happens when you're dealing with code that's meant to be compiled for multiple targets, eg. Linux kernels and drivers. Other times it happens because a file was moved or replaced, and the old version was left lingering in the repository.
A Facebook User on April 17, 2012 2:25 PMThis seems to be inspired by your post:
Maarten Van Schaik on April 17, 2012 2:35 PMWhen I read this a couple of hours ago I agreed with it 100%, then I read about the publication of the original Prince Of Persia source code on GitHub and, although the snifter of Brandy was a tumbler of Bechrovka, sat down for a fine evening of reading through someone else's code!
Link: https://github.com/jmechner/Prince-of-Persia-Apple-II
Andrew Martin on April 17, 2012 3:46 PMReading the source code is not the solution to bad documentation, contributing to fixing the documentation is the proper thing to do.
Relying on source code and bypassing official documentation is asking for trouble. The source code may reveal undocumented features that are not guaranteed to be available in future versions of frameworks.
I've written a more expanded response on my blog (http://priscimon.com/blog/2012/04/17/what-the-source-code/).
Precisely - and that's more of a problem if the developer is not a native English speaking person. The comments he/she may write not bring out the actual meaning. On the other hand, the code is always there.
In a good IDE any badly formatted code can be looked in a a lot more meaningful way.
Doesn't Stack Overflow run on a closed source stack?
Andrew on April 18, 2012 12:13 AMBest quote from someone in the trenches:
And most of the time, what inexperienced developers consider beautiful is superficial, and what they consider ugly, is battle-hardened production-ready code from master hackers.
Jeffrey Davis on April 18, 2012 7:45 AMOle Eichhorn: "This is one of the reasons I don't like abstraction layers. You can't predict exactly what they're going to do, and you [mostly] can't read the source code to find out."
I have the EXACT SAME issue with projects that use inversion-of-control. Makes it IMPOSSIBLE to figure out the flow of the code unless you're using a debugger!
I also hate the current "minification" trend in web dev, because it creates source that's completely indecipherable. Yes, I can go grab the un-minified version from the original site, but what if a specific website has made their own changes?
Code should not need documentation external to the code itself to be understandable. Fin.
The Assimilator on April 19, 2012 2:10 AMI only partially agree with your statement. Reading the source is important, but reading the source is time-consuming.
When you have time contstraints, having code (especially third party libraries) where documentation and code are coherent in behaviour, and especially where all available functions (i.e. public API) are well documented, that's a real plus and speaks for the quality of the "supplier".
When you have API and code that don't match, a load of undocumented features and you go on by (even obvious) trial and error, that's not good because you always have in the back of your mind the idea that the block/component/library you're using is not production ready and can become a thorn in your side.
Then, of course, reading a WELL WRITTEN and WELL DOCUMENTED source is a way to improve oneself, as much as reading a book in a foreign language you want to master.
I agree with the final statement from Zmaster: "Good documentation is a must, don't oversee it."
Luciano on April 19, 2012 8:52 AM@Jeff
Didn't you develop StackOverflow on the Microsoft stack? I remember a post from way back justifying the decision.
How are you holding these "Use the source Luke" and using Microsoft stack ideas simultaneously?
Or have you changed your opinion on using the MS stack?
Dehaul on April 19, 2012 9:09 AM@Dehaul
With tools like reflector, you can look into the .NET framework fairly easily.
Your related posts link doesn't work with middle click. IT simply opens the page in the same tab instead of a new one. Do me a favor, read the source and fix it. It's annoying. I'd do it myself, but you'd be angry :)
I had a friend who always said: "Moses brought the source code down from the mountain, not the documentation."
Nick Hodges on April 23, 2012 11:10 AM@Jeff - You're channelling Adele Goldberg - one argument she's well known for is her opposition to teaching people to write code before they learned to read it - her observation was that nobody would ever teach someone to write prose without having them read some first - and that in turn became a core philosphy of SmallTalk - all the code for the entire system was visible, and if you wanted examples or ideas, they were there for the taking, as well as the ability to see exactly how things were done
A Facebook User on April 23, 2012 4:31 PMThis blog is wonderful, thank you propose. Glad to see new projects! I wish you much success .
Shameless plug but with the honest intent to help out those who find code reading difficult.
We are starting a free code reading study group. Initially it will be ruby, but we have plans for js.
We're just getting started and currently discussing our first project to explore. So far 150 people have signed up so it should make for some good discussion and study.
If you are interested please checkout
This is non commercial and in totally in the spirit of helping out each other.
Shame on me - where were my manners!
I forgot to say thank you for an excellent blog post. It's partly what spurred me to start the study group.
And good luck in your next project after stack!
Codereading on April 30, 2012 9:03 AM@Jaap Van der Velde: "(Good) documentation is a description of what the software designer/programmer wanted to write"
Not exactly true. Documentation is a description of what the developer wanted to write *when they wrote the documentation*. However, the probability that the documentation will skew from revised intentions approaches 1 as the code becomes more mature. The code is the only truth about what a given routine actually does as opposed to what the documentation claims it does. It is the (current) users that dictate what it ought to be doing.
TBH, what is being discussed here are black boxes. If you drop a component into your solution and it works as expected, then the source of the component isn't necessary. The problem comes when the black box doesn't do what you expect and you have to figure out why. If the documentation helps to get over your problem, then great but at the end of the day, what really will help get past the problem is the source of the black box. That will truly tell you how the component is actually working.
Thomas on May 1, 2012 10:03 PMWell said, but considering that your main platform is Windows it's also ironic.
László Monda on May 5, 2012 1:29 PMUsing application is different than developing application. When you're using most application for its main operate, it's a well used direction. Others have experienced the issues and enough individuals have verbal up to immediate the main members to appropriate the problem. But when you're developing application, you're doing something new.
Account Deleted on May 16, 2012 5:08 AMGood read. Also another point is that all the really good product companies rely on you reading code for you training! Which is really awesome. Afterall well written code is the best form of documentation there is to a developer!
Account Deleted on May 18, 2012 9:53 AMNice read, just what I was looking for, thanks!
Trevorkennedy on June 11, 2012 5:32 PMReadability is always been top item in my code review list, Some time people compromised readability with sake of optimization and performance, which in most of case doesn't yield anything.

Origins News Round-up for December 6, 2013
This week's Origins News Roundup features highlights from a recent conference of evangelical theologians, exciting human fossil finds, tell-tale lice, and a few words from the Pope.
The Resource Finder has powerful filtering features — check out the tutorial to learn more.
This week's Origins News Roundup features highlights from a recent conference of evangelical theologians, exciting human fossil finds, tell-tale lice, and a few words from the Pope.
"What did he think of the Greek notion of nature? Simply put, Boyle believed it was inappropriate—both theologically and scientifically—to speak of "Nature" doing anything at all."
"It's tempting to think that the church needs to decide quickly which of these [original sin] scenarios is right, and which ones must be wrong. I believe the church is better served by taking its time, holding several different scenarios in tension for a while as we think through the implications of each."
"Where many scholars in previous generations simply assumed that Christianity and science have always been in conflict—and not just over evolution—recent scholarship has decisively debunked that view. The main message from today's historians is complexity, not conflict."
Today's Origins News Round-up takes us from some cosmic data on the possible existence of life elsewhere in the universe, to some surprising theories about the origin of life, and some interesting general news and editorial items on science and religion.
We need to hear stories from others who have wrestled with evolution and Christian faith. What arguments made them change their views on science? How did they hold fast to their relationship with God? The essays in this series will eventually comprise a book, provisionally titled, "Evolving: Evangelicals Reflect on Evolution."
In this series, Ryan Pettey offers several clips from his powerful documentary "From the Dust". This feature-length film is divided up into various sections, each of which wrestles with the difficult problems that arise when reconciling Scripture with the theory of evolution. A light of hope dawns on the science-faith conversation, however, as scientists and theologians engage in honest dialogue about tough issues such as the interpretation of Genesis, the nature of the Fall, and the idea of random design. Their profound insights are sure to enlighten all minds, raise deeper questions, and provoke new thought.
In this series, James Kidder provides an intriguing study on transitional fossils and the evolutionary history of modern humans. He begins by discussing the fossil record, explaining how new forms are classified. He then explains the physically distinguishing trait of humankind—bipedalism. From the discovery of Ardipithecus, the earliest known hominin, to the australopithecines, the most prolific hominin, Kidder focuses on the discovery, the anatomy, and the interpretation of these ancestral remains.
What do today's pastors think about science? What views do they hold on creation and evolution and how strongly do they hold them? How do origins issues impact their ministries? These were just a few of the questions that motivated us at BioLogos to commission a survey of pastors on origins
There's a word beneath the water, and the Bow River belongs to God. Have you been listening?
Christian theology asserts that humans are spiritual creatures, a unity of body and spirit or "soul," integrated, not reducible downwards to mere matter or upwards to mere spirit.
Although committed to the principle of sola Scriptura, Calvin recognized that the Bible would have been written in terms its original recipients would have understood. Calvin inherited the medieval cosmology of his time, a way of viewing the world heavily influenced by Greek thought and one which was about to receive shocks from astronomers such as Copernicus and Galileo. But not just yet.
People hold clearly discordant points of view, and it would be dishonest to ignore the conflict. Yet some voices emphasize the dissonance without any note of harmony to put it in context. Too often, science and faith becomes a hostile battle of worldviews, sounding angry, dissonant chords even among fellow Christians. But civil, gracious dialogue is possible.
This ongoing series written by historian Ted Davis begins with a brief synopsis of his personal background, and then goes on to reveal his passion for debunking "the now-common view that the history of science and Christianity is one of ongoing, inevitable conflict."
In this series, Mark Mann explores what many of the great Christian theologians and saints of the Church have said about how God speaks in and through God's other great book: Nature, or Creation. Listening to figures from the the 2nd to the 18th centuries,Mann proposes three main points: Christians should think of Scripture and Creation as two "books" that should be read together for understanding the fullness of God's self-revelation; Science is a God-given tool for discerning the handiwork of God in Creation, and is fully compatible with God's Word revealed in Scripture, and therefore, Christians have nothing to fear from science.
The Queen had only one way of settling all difficulties, great or small. "Off with his head!" she said, without even looking round
During his seminary education, Dr. Murphy also gained a deeper understanding of Luther's theology of the cross, and he realized that it's really the best way to approach the science and theology dialogue.
Historian of science James Hannam writes that the notion of inherent conflict between Christianity and science is a pernicious myth. In fact, by the middle ages, science already had a central place in Christian centers of learning. Indeed, it was a Christian worldview that proved especially compatible with—even necessary for—the rise of modern science. In this two-part essay, Hannam describes the conditions in the West in the medieval period that set the stage for the spectacular advance of science in the centuries to follow.
The Denisovans, an extinct hominid group that interbred with modern humans, made the news again lately with the publication of a more detailed study of their genome. One of the many interesting findings was that the Denisovans share the same chromosome 2 fusion that modern humans have.

I found an old mason jar at an antique store this week. I was inspired by a message in a bottle, so I decided to write motivation sayings about faith and put it in the jar. I then found some clear stones to put at the bottom. I added a ribbon and a button at the bottom to add some more color. I wanted to put a light such as an electronic tea light candle but I couldn't seem to find one. If you decided to make this, you could add your own personal touches. There are so many things you can do with old jars, who knew!
Hair Accessory Holder
I have been crafting like crazy, and I was running out of things to decopauge until I found this tin lid from a cookie container. I found some fun scrapbook paper to glue onto the lid, and I used some small magnets to hold the magnets onto the lid. Now I have a another way to organize my flower clips!
From Serving Tray to Cute Memo Board
I was at our local flea market today, and I found the coolest serving trays for $1! I have seen really great ideas of memo boards, so the serving tray sounded like a great idea for a memo board.
- I took a piece of beach-themed scrapbook paper and decoupaged it onto the tray.
- I also found some cool shells at Michael's, and I decided to make them into magnets.
My dorm room has a lot of beach items in it, so this memo board will fit in great in my dorm room. This memo board was easy to make, and you can put anything on it–to do lists, pictures, sticky notes, and the list goes on.
Small Headband Holder
After making a smaller hair bow holder, I decided to make a small headband holder. I used a Cottonelle Toilet Paper Cover. I covered it with pictures and quotes taken out of my Seventeen magazine. I added some ribbon, a flower, and some flat marbles, and now I have a cute headband holder to take back to my dorm!
Small Hair Bow Holder
After making my first hair bow organizer, I realized I wanted to take a smaller version to back to college with me. There isn't very much space in a college dorm, so I created a small bow holder. I had some wooden letters laying around so I used one. I also used mod podge, scrapbook paper, and small magnets. I glued the paper to the letter and to the magnets. I then hot glued the magnets to the letter. It doesn't hold as many hair bows as the larger one, it has just enough space for your favorite hair bows and clips. I can't wait to bring this to my dorm room!
Hair Bow Organizer
After working on organizing my headbands, I decided I needed a way to organize my hair clips. I got an idea from Sweet N' Sassy Girls on how to make a hair bow organizer. I covered a dry erase board with scrapbook paper and ribbon. I put the board on a cute easel I found at Michael's. Then I used some strong magnets that I bought at Michael's, and my bows were finally organized!
Headband Holder
I have a lot of headbands, and I was looking for a way to organize them. I found many examples on pinterest of headband organizers, so I decided to make one too. I used an oatmeal container, scrapbook paper, and ribbon. Now my headbands are neatly organized, and I couldn't be happier!
Check out these other cool headband organizers!

Hey Great Wolf. I might go if you would learn Serice Dog laws. You CAN NOT ask for her certification papers. Please learn the ADA. Was planning on saveing up for a 9 night stay in a Magestic Bear suite. Would have done the cub club, bowling, magiquest (I need to replace my wand but I have the gear I play in Myrtle Beach) waterpark. Eaten at Bear Paw, Loose Moose, and Hungry as a Wolf. Shopped in the Kids Store (I collect stuffed animals), and 3-d paw prints. VERY disapointed. I'll take my money elsewhere and be treated with more respect.
Patti Henderson Kopec
Are there any deals for a one night stay coming up for the end of Jan? We were holding out booking with the 48hour sale but we need it for the 23-24th :( so disappointingPosted from Facebook for iPad
Kent Myers
The water park is set up for grade school age kids. Rooms are over due to be fixed up. Ours room had no thermastate so manually turn on if you want heat turn off manually when your hot. Want clean towels? You need to go to front desk and ask them 3 times then go back to front desk to pick them up later. If you want a meal that is precooked go to their breakfast buffet. Rubber like bacon, steamed sausage patties, french toast sticks that you can buy in the freezer section at wal-mart, ect and only $12.99. what a deal. Kalahari Resort is where we will go back to next time. Sorry Great Wolf Lodge you get a D grade.

Hi! Was wondering about getting a gift card for the new (unopened as yet) Lodge in Fitchburg, Mass. I want to give my son and family one for Christmas. I'm hoping that this is possible. Thanks! :)

Business Briefs: Small Business Saturday seems to be catching on
November 28, 2012 12:00 AMSmall Business Saturday has gained some traction. U.S. consumers who were aware of the promotion spent $5.5 billion with independent merchants on the day after Black Friday last week, according to a survey sponsored by the National Federation of Independent Business and American Express. The credit card provider said cardmember transactions at small business stores that day rose 21 percent over last year.
Quaker Steak & Lube has signed an area development franchise agreement with Salt & Pepper Restaurants Inc. for the right to open four new restaurants in the Houston area. The first location is planned for next year. The Sharon-based chain now has its name on almost 60 restaurants in 18 states and Canada.
The Federal Reserve Bank has hired Grant Street Associates of Pittsburgh and CRESCO Real Estate of Cleveland to sell its former branch at 717 Grant St., Downtown. The bank announced last year that it was laying off most of its 320 employees and moving the 25 or so who remained to One Oxford Center. The move was made in October. The seven-story branch was completed in 1931, and a 10-story addition was finished in 1958. The building has about 200,000 square feet of usable space.
The Pittsburgh Regional Business Coalition for Homeland Security will host a meeting with Thomas Minton III, director of the state Office of Homeland Security, on Tuesday. Mr. Minton will discuss disaster preparedness and homeland security topics in relation to the governor's office. For more information and to pre-register for the free event, call 412-818-8722 or email firstname.lastname@example.com.
Family Services of Western Pennsylvania is hosting a free community class on financial wellness in the New Kensington area beginning Dec. 6. The class will run for 11 weeks and cover many financial topics, including banking basics, credit, budgeting and identity theft. The classes will be held Thursdays at Central City Plaza from 5:30 to 7:30 p.m. Light refreshments will be provided as well as all the materials needed for class.
U.S. consumer confidence rose this month to its highest level in almost five years, helped by a better outlook for hiring over the next six months. The Conference Board said Tuesday that its consumer confidence index rose to 73.7 in November from 73.1 in October. Both are the best readings since February 2008. The index is still below the level of 90 that is consistent with a healthy economy.
Standard & Poor's/Case-Shiller reported Tuesday that its 20-city index of home prices rose 3 percent in September compared with the same month last year. Prices also gained 3.6 percent in the July-September quarter compared with the same quarter in 2011. The index does not include Pittsburgh.
ConAgra Foods is set to become the nation's biggest maker of store-brand foods, with a $5 billion purchase of Ralcorp announced Tuesday. Omaha, Neb.-based ConAgra, which makes brands including Banquet, Chef Boyardee and Marie Callender's, made multiple attempts to buy Ralcorp last year. Ralcorp, based in St. Louis, makes products for a wide range of companies including Wal-Mart Stores Inc. and McDonald's Corp. The deal, which was unanimously approved by both companies' boards, is expected to close by March 31. It needs Ralcorp shareholder approval.
Orders for core capital goods, considered a proxy for business investment, rose 1.7 percent in October, the best showing since a 2.3 percent rise in May, the Commerce Department said Tuesday. Overall orders for durable goods were unchanged in October at $216.9 billion following a 9.2 percent jump in September that had been driven by a surge in demand for commercial aircraft. In October, demand for machinery, primary metals and communications equipment increased while orders for autos, airplanes and computers fell.
Google is launching a new campaign in Germany to protest against possible copyright restrictions being discussed in the country's Parliament. The campaign started Tuesday seeks to mobilize Google users against plans to introduce a so-called "Google Tax" that would require search engines to pay each time they link to media content like newspaper articles or photographs.

Eleventh Circuit chief judge may delay senior status
2:13 pm, February 4th, 2013
The chief judge of the federal appeals court based in Atlanta said Monday that he may not take senior status on Aug. 1 if the president and the Senate have not filled two Georgia-based vacancies on the court.
The Daily Report and other news outlets reported Friday that Chief Judge Joel Dubina of the Eleventh U.S. Circuit Court of Appeals would enter the federal judiciary's version of semi-retirement on Aug. 1. Dubina couldn't be reached Friday, but the website of the Administrative Office of the U.S. Courts said Dubina's seat would be vacant on that date because he would take senior status.
But on Monday, Dubina told the Daily Report that the Administrative Office may have acted too soon. He said he had notified Chief Justice John Roberts that he would relinquish the title of chief judge on Aug. 1 and planned to take senior status that day. He said Roberts needed to know because the chief judge chairs the U.S. Judicial Conference, on which circuit court chief judges serve.
But Dubina said taking senior status "is not a done deal until you tell the president," an action he has not made yet because of the delay in filling the two Georgia-based seats on the Eleventh Circuit.
President Obama has twice nominated Atlanta litigator Jill Pryor to fill the seat vacated by the retirement of Judge Stanley Birch in August 2010, but she has been blocked by Georgia's senators, Saxby Chambliss and Johnny Isakson. Another seat was vacated last summer by Judge J.L. Edmondson, who took senior status.
Dubina, who was appointed in 1990 and whose seat is based in Alabama, said he didn't want to leave his colleagues "in the lurch" with only nine active judges.
He recalled early in his appellate career when the court had several vacancies and only nine judges—with about half the caseload of today. "Nine judges is extremely difficult," he said, noting that the court suspended its rules requiring two Eleventh Circuit judges on each three-judge panel. Instead the court allowed only one Eleventh Circuit judge on a panel, joined by two visiting judges—a solution that risked the consistency of the court's precedents, he said.

Nikon D200 with 50mm/f1.4 lens. Camera fitted with BMBD200-L plate; mounted on MPR-CL nodal slide & PCL-1 panning clamp. Note how nodal slide has been used to shift camera backwards so that optical center of lens can sit atop the axis of rotation (in this case, the center of the panning clamp).
Our PCL-1 panning clamp can be installed on any ballhead. Spin it on any industry standard ¼"-20 or 3/8"-16 threaded stud ( ¼"-20 stud requires a bushing). Or if your head has a female threaded socket, install the PCL-1 with a 1-inch long cap-head screw (included). Of course, the PCL-1 works great with any Really Right Stuff ballhead! At right is our BH-55 ballhead with the PCL-1 panning clamp installed.

Heres.... Rin Yan! - Rin is a Tiger disciple who has left her master on a quest to experience the world. Her master found her at a slave auction on the northern coastal regions of Parsh Noi. The master bought her her freedom at age 3, and ever since then she has learned the way of the tiger. Knowing that the walls of the tiger temple which keeps her is limited in experience, the master ordered her to seek out a strong warrior that she could overcome. Rin is an honorable person, valuing others as equals no matter who they are. Rin can be simple at times, but she respects all and has great patience. She can however, get overly excited on things she has never seen. Rin Yan is 15, and begins her journey to seek those who claim to be strong.
