Yes more is better - when it comes to bearing holders anyway.
Tired of snapping those pesky bearing holders when you tighten the screw one turn too many? well I know I am so this design uses four individual bearing holders keyed into position on a rigid x-carriage platform.
No laminar separation or splitting issues here.
Also features twin fan mounts fore and aft for my fan holders and VGA fans like here: http://www.thingiverse.com/thing:29158
The four other holes in the top of the platform are for 5mm LEDs -connect 4 blue or red ones in series directly across 12 volts - like your fan supply for example.

  • you don't really expect this to be unbreakable do you?

19 September - Added fixed belt grips to give clearance from the 8mm x-axis rods.

Print out the parts, you will need one x-carriage platform plus 4 bearing holders from here http://www.thingiverse.com/thing:30365
Run a 3mm drill through all the machine screw holes after printing and use a 7mm drill bit by hand to clear the screw head recesses on the top side (the extruder needs to pass ofer these).
You will need to carefully cut eight 3mm machine screws to hold the bearing holders into their recesses so that they do not protrude past the captive nuts - this is where the LM8UU bearings will sit.
Place the assembled carriage on the x-rails or runn the two rails through the LM8UU's and then tighten up all the bearing holder screws - this will ensure it is correctly aligned.
I have used the usual belt clamp/tightener arrangemenr and will upload a photos of it when I finish building this printer.

You also need the fixed belt grips that miss the x-axis rods (or trim the ones you have with a sharp blade).

Built this and it's working quite well, more stable and lower friction(dunno how!) than the stock i2 X-carriage, but there is one improvement I'd suggest, if you make the bearing clamps 1.75mm thicker then it will work with standard M3x8mm pan-head screws instead of needing to grind screws to a precise length for it. I printed and added little spacer blocks to make that work.

Good idea, thanks :)

not a very good design as the bulkyness of the bearing holders traps a lot of heat and causes the filament to jam.... it happened to me while using a j head and 1.75 mm filament

Hello, nice design, but ... timing belt grips obstruct the 8mm rods.

Ah wondered that, thought it was going to be close. On the earlier version I chamfered this part on that edge so will have to do the same on this one.

Movement on banning the burqa across Eruope and the US. How about the other limits on women from other religions

There is a huge movement in Europe and even now in the US to ban the burqa.  Many say the burqa leads to huge sexual discrimination against women of Islam. I agree with this premise but my question is this.

Doesn't this same discrimination and treatment exist in other orthodox religions?  Look at some of the fundamentalist christian and jewish sects who insist their women dress "modestly" as to not tempt men.  Its the same line of thinking.  It is always about the power of men over women.

First and foremost, it is a security threat. How to know if they are criminals, child molesters, or terrorists wanting to blow themselves up in disguise?? Second, it violates the dignity of women and the secular values which are part of free societies. In contrast, we as atheists are to be executed on the spot by such believers of these people. In addition, I am sure this will be liberating to many women who are forced to wear such burqa covering their face by their husbands and family and will not have a little bit of dignity while going to work and commuting. In addition, they can still wear a veil but just not cover their entire faces. We don't have this problem in America as our Muslims are not this extreme and even the extremist Islamic Republic of Terror don't force the Iranian people to cover up like that and in fact most religious Muslims still show their face. This is the extremist of extremist of Muslims and we must not jeopardize our values of secularism, dignity, and women's rights.

To be honest, whilst I don't see how the burqa is a necessity for a Muslim woman (I've heard every excuse under the sun, and when they try to justify it they just sound like people in denial), I think the driving force has been Christian pacification, and NOT a threat of security.  The threat of security is present, but I think this ban has more to do with differentiation and a fear of something different.  We don't and cannot accept it, especially "vague" and conservative Christians that would prefer a singular, consistent culture.

Yes, one of the driving factors is a fear of security, but I think religion itself is behind this, er, banning of religiously-driven social habits.

I wouldn't say that religion is behind this Gaetano.

France for instance is a highly secularized country, none of the political parties involved in the Burqa ban had a confessional character as far as I know. It's not the fear of Islam per se that instigated this new law, although it probably plays some role, it's more the threat of anonymity in public life. This is considered a security threat as well as that a lot of (secular) people believe that the Burqa hinders the women that wear  to interact with society.

I don't agree with the ideas behind the burqa, and I think most of those women are terribly held back to say the least. But I don't think anyone should be telling anyone what to wear, no matter what the reason may be.

Chris Tarrant is in hospital after being taken ill on a flight.

The former Who Wants To Be A Millionaire? host was flying back to the UK from Thailand when he suffered a suspected asthma attack, so cabin crew called ahead for an ambulance, according to reports.

After landing at Heathrow he was taken straight from the tarmac to Charing Cross Hospital in London.

Chris' manager Paul Vaughan said: "I've been his manager for 30 years, and I know that if he goes down like a ton of bricks it's usually asthma."

He continued: "I'm surmising, but I think his asthma attack might have been triggered by a night-time stopover in Bangkok, which has very poor air quality."

The TV star, 67, had been abroad filming a new travel series.

The Sun reported that Chris is expected to leave hospital today (March 3).

Robbie Williams is to become a father again, he has confirmed on Twitter.

The Take That and solo singer said he and wife Ayda Field are expecting a second child.

The 40-year-old, who lives with his wife and daughter Teddy in Los Angeles, wrote: " Ayda and I are delighted to announce that Theodora Rose Williams is going to be a big sister. RW xxx"

Robbie was once dismissed as the ''fat dancer from Take That'' by Oasis' Noel Gallagher, but he became one of the biggest stars of British music.

The Stoke-born singer first hit the headlines as a chirpy wannabe in the group that was billed as the British answer to US group New Kids On The Block.

He quit the group in the mid-1990s and embarked on a solo career which included a mainstay of the karaoke club, Angels.

Robbie also battled personal demons - drink and drugs - along the way and often said success had not necessarily led to happiness.

He married Ayda in the grounds of his Beverly Hills mansion in August 2010.

Theodora was born two years later.

Robbie enjoyed a return to the pop charts with his album Swings Both Ways, which soared to the number one spot at the end of last year.

Andrew Quilty at Semi-Permanent

Photography aficionados have a great opportunity to hear the award winning Australian Photographer Andrew Quilty speak about his career and work at the upcoming Semi-Permanent design conference in Brisbane on August 30.

Quilty has a proven track record, having won both a World Press Photography award and inaugural Walkley Young Australian Photojournalist of the year award. But his talent doesn’t stop there. He is a documentary artist and has also had numerous solo and group exhibitions of his print photography, with his work represented in many private and public collections.

He became well known for his powerful photo documentation of a dark side of Australian culture, taken during the infamous Cronulla race riots in 2005. However It’s his other coastal photography of some of Sydney’s best locations, including many of my childhood haunts,  such as Maroubra and Manly beaches, Sydney harbour and Mosman,  that sum up the real Sydney experience best. These images are more reverential and poetic, and vividly capture the Australian love affair with our amazing coastline.

As a former judge of the Moran Contemporary Photographic Prize (2009) and Sydney Life (2011) and member of the prominent photographic collective Oculi, Quilty is clearly one of Australia’s most collectible and sought after artists. if you want to learn more about his work and practice, then you won’t want to miss this Semi-Permanent event. But hurry – early priced tickets are going fast.

As the founder of THIS ISLAND LIFE, Laura is an expert on all things summer. When she's not at home in Sydney, she's chasing the warm-weather to exotic destinations across the globe.

Police beat

Teen who fled police charged

A teenager who fled from Delaware police Oct. 5 was charged with public intoxication, underage drinking, possession of drug paraphernalia and obstructing official business, according to reports.

Police reports said officers approached two boys who were attempting to get into a vehicle at 1:12 a.m. Oct. 5 in the 200 block of Park Avenue. While one of the boys tried to flee on foot, the other stayed next to the vehicle and was charged with underage drinking, reports said.

Police made another arrest for underage drinking at 1:21 a.m. Oct. 6 when, reports said, they found a 19-year-old urinating in a crosswalk at Sandusky and East William streets.

In other recent Delaware police reports:

Running a custom tool automatically when a file is modified

Very poorPoorAverageGoodExcellent (2 votes)

As far as I can remember, Visual Studio always had something called “custom tools”, also known as single-file generators. When you apply such a tool to a file in your project, it will generate something (typically code, but not necessarily) based on the content of the file. For instance, the default custom tool for resource files is called ResXFileCodeGenerator, and generates a class that provides easy access to the resources defined in the resx file.

When you save a file that has a custom tool associated to it, Visual Studio will automatically rerun the custom tool to regenerate its output. You can also do it manually, by invoking the “Run custom tool” command in the context menu of a project item.

Usually, the custom tool needs only one input file to generate its output, but sometimes things are a bit more complex. For instance, consider T4 templates : they have a custom tool associated with them (TextTemplatingFileGenerator), so this tool will be run when the template is saved, but in many cases, the template itself uses other input files to generate its output. So the custom tool needs to be run not only when the template is modified, but also when files on which the template depends are modified. Since there is no way to tell Visual Studio about this dependency, you have to rerun the custom tool manually, which is quite annoying…

Because I was in this situation, and was tired of manually invoking the “Run custom tool” command on my T4 templates, I eventually created a Visual Studio extension to do this automatically: AutoRunCustomTool. The name isn’t very imaginative, but at least it’s descriptive…

This tool is designed to be very simple and unobtrusive; it just does its work silently, without getting in your way. It adds a new property to each project item : “Run custom tool on”. This property is a collection of file names for which the custom tool must be run every time this project item is saved. For instance, if you have a T4 template ( that generates a file (Output.txt) based on the content of another file (Input.txt), you just need to add “” to the “Run custom tool on” property of Input.txt. Every time you save Input.txt, the custom tool will be automatically rerun on, which will regenerate the content of Output.txt. You can see a concrete example on the tool’s page in Visual Studio Gallery.

I created AutoRunCustomTool about 6 months ago, but the initial version was a bit rough around the edges, so I didn’t communicate about it. I released the second version a few days ago, and I think it’s now ready for everyone to use. If you’re interested in the code, you can find it on GitHub, which is also the place to report issues and suggest improvements.

    Hi, thanks to your source code I was able to create a tool like AutoRunCustomTool. The only difference is that I need to run it on build time.

In business since 2007, I have traveled the country photographing weddings, but Eureka Springs and the surrounding area are home and my favorite local for shooting. I’m a storyteller at heart and love helping clients create their love story through photographs. I love photographing the little details of the day that you might forget such as the wedding bouquet, the rings, the way you held hands when he first walked you to the alter, or the tear that your father wiped away when you said “I do.” I want you to be able to look at your photos years from now and remember exactly what you felt that day.

You will experience hard work, professionalism, and friendliness on the day of your wedding. I believe in organization to make your day run as smoothly as possible, but am able to think on my feet and change directions quickly if something doesn’t go as planned.

Let me help you write your wedding love story with style and grace.

About Thrift Books

Today you can purchase Charlotte's Web for even less than the day we started.

Our Story

  • History & Growth

    Thrift Books was started in July 2003 in a storage unit in Kirkland, WA, with a commitment to provide quality, cheap, used books at the lowest prices anywhere. Just two months after founding the company, the first book was purchased and shipped: Charlotte’s Web, by E. B. White, for $4.74.

    With warehouses distributed across North America, we have brought scale and innovation to processing and selling used books, allowing us to continually grow selection and ship even faster to Thrift Books customers.

  • Powered by People

    While cutting edge pricing technology and the latest supply-chain methods allow us to serve you better, it's our people that make the difference at Thrift Books. Each quality, used book is saved, sorted, rated, shelved and finally, shipped by hand. You can have confidence that the quality book you choose will be sent to you, unless our software tells us that a superior quality copy can be shipped to you more efficiently; then we'll give you an upgrade at no charge.

  • Today

    Thrift Books has been featured for pioneering methods in online used book selling in many publications, including The Wall Street Journal, The New York Times, The Seattle Times, Puget Sound Business Journal and The Software Development Times. As we grow, we continue to work with literacy and environmental charities to share our love of reading without impacting our landfills.

    The commitment to you, to price and to innovation brings our motto to life; Read More. Spend Less. As the company continues to grow, we continue to improve. Take a look at how much less you can buy a copy of Charlotte's Web for today!

Thrift Books was created with the goal of bringing the joy and benefit of reading to as many people possible.

Giving Back

At ThriftBooks, we recognize the opportunity to use our resources to give back to our communities and the planet.

  • Literacy Efforts

    In developing countries, 15% of children ages 6 to 11 are not attending school, and 65% of the world's illiterate population is female (according to UNESCO). Access to books is the largest factor holding back literacy for children and adults alike. ThriftBooks has donated more than 1 million books internationally to combat illiteracy, placing treasured resources in the hands of the people that need them the most.

  • Library Programs

    Many of us developed our love of reading through libraries. They play an essential role in our communities by encouraging literacy and providing free access to books. In 2007, we began partnering with libraries to provide them an easy way to raise funds. We’ve sold more than 1 million library books to our customers.

  • Reselling and Recycling

    Truckloads of books come through our warehouse doors every day. Tens of thousands of these books are sold to customers worldwide or shipped in bulk internationally. Material we can’t use is sent to recycling plants, where each ton of 100% post-consumer copy paper (approximately 1.4 tons of books) saves 24 trees, 7,000 gallons of water, 4,100 kilowatts of electricity, and 60 pounds of air pollution. ThriftBooks recycles millions of pounds of books every year.

We sell or donate as many used books as possible to maximize their lifetime and value.

Power Over Ethernet (PoE)

Power Over Ethernet (PoE)

Reference Designs

Power Over Ethernet (PoE)

Design Factors

The concept of providing power along with data is as old as plain old telephone service, but the formal standard for providing power along Ethernet lines is much more recent. Though the original Power-over-Ethernet (PoE) specification was approved in 2005, the IEEE ratified a superseding standard in summer 2009—the IEEE 802.3at. Both standards specify behavior for devices receiving power across Ethernet lines, known as "powered devices" (PDs), and methods for injecting power onto the line, used in equipment known as "power sourcing equipment" (PSE).

Powered Devices (PDs)

A powered device typically has a front-end IC to pull power off of the Ethernet line and safely pass it through to the rest of the system. It is important that these PD front ends be robust enough to withstand 100-V surges while ensuring that the current is ramped in a controlled fashion into the PD. Most PD front ends, like the TPS23753A, incorporate a DC/DC converter to down convert the PoE voltage to a suitable voltage. The 802.3at Type I PDs (adherents of the original 802.3af standard, with some updates) are guaranteed at 12.95 W, while 802.3at applications are allowed up to 25.5 W of power.

Power Sourcing Equipment (PSE)

PSE is typically found in either Ethernet switches ("endspans") or a device between the Ethernet switch and the PD ("midspan"). In both cases, power is injected onto the line for a PD to use. PSE is responsible for querying the PDs and legacy clients to ensure that they want power to be applied and that they do not pull more power than allowed. All PSE performs some level of hardware authentication for initial power application to PDs, while newer 802.3at PSEs can query with either an additional hardware layer or a software layer of communication to provide more than 12.95 W of power to the PD.

The TPS23754/6 incorporates a high-power PD front end along with a DC/DC converter capable of highly efficient, isolated down conversion topologies. With full 802.3at compliance and an additional gate driver for secondary-side active clamp rectification, the TPS23754 is an easy choice for high-power PoE applications.

General Crowder Four Hits Yankees, Tigers Now Half Game Ahead of Yanks

July 24, 1935 Tigers 4, Yankees 0 (54-35)

For the first time this season, the Tigers found themselves atop the American League, sort of, as General Crowder threw a gem. He gave up four hits, walked none, and didn’t allow a single Yankee to cross the plate. All four hits were singles.

Jo Jo White gave the Tigers the lead for good with a lead off homer to put the Tigers in front 1-0. The Tigers scored three more in the third, all with two outs. Mickey Cochrane had a one run single and Goose Goslin drove home two when he singled with the bases loaded.

The reason the Tigers only sort of moved into first is they moved a half game ahead, but because they had played five more games, the Yankees actually had a marginally better winning percentage. The matter would be put to rest the following day as the Yankees would lose and the Tigers would not only be an entire game in first, but they’d have the better winning percentage as well.

In the first pages of Howard Zinn’s A People’s History of the United States, the reader confronts a Columbus quite different from the one we learned in school. Some may be aware that he sailed on condition of receiving a large share in the profits from his gold-seeking adventure, but everyone knows that early on October 12, 1492, a sailor finally sighted land.

Columbus’ ship was met by Arawak Indians swimming out to greet the visitors. In his journal, the explorer wrote of these Indians:

They are well-built, with good bodies and handsome features. . . [They] are so naïve and free with their possessions that no one who has not witnessed them would believe it. When you ask for something they have, they never say No. To the contrary, they offer to share with anyone… They do not bear arms and do not know them. . . They have no iron. Their spears are made of cane… They would make fine servants… With fifty men, we could subjugate them all and make them do whatever we want .. .

In the years to come, Columbus did just that. Though he never did find much gold, he certainly found wealth. In 1495, one of his raiding expeditions rounded up 1,500 Arawak men, women, and children and put them in pens. They then picked the 500 best specimens to enslave. Two hundred of them died in the transport ships. Columbus later wrote: “Let us in the name of the Holy Trinity go on sending all the slaves that can be sold.” When the Arawak formed an armed resistance, Spaniards with armor, muskets, swords, and horses just slaughtered them. To escape bondage and massacre, some clans committed mass suicide. In two years, by murder, mutilation, or suicide, half of the 250,000 natives of Haiti were dead. By the year 1515, only 50,000 Indians remained alive. By 1550, only 500. One hundred years later, not one member of the aboriginal tribes was found alive in Haiti.

In the name of Jesus Christ, Columbus practiced genocide. This may not be news to you; still the mind boggles. It would boggle less if Americans held the memory of this father of discovery at the distance of remorse, and applied a different name to mark that day of wrath when Europe first arrived upon these shores. But as you know, there has not yet come one American generation which failed to visit genocidal violence upon one people or another.

In 1454, some forty years before Columbus sailed, Pope Nicholas V declared, in what is now called the “doctrine of discovery,” that any agent of the Catholic kings conquering any non-Christian people, would thereby gain for the king total possession of those lands and those people. Here is a little of Pope Nicholas’ own perfumed language of violence and domination:

The Roman pontiff, desiring the salvation of all, wholesomely ordains and disposes those things which he sees will be agreeable to the Divine Majesty and by which he may bring the sheep entrusted to him by God into the single divine fold, and may acquire for them the reward of eternal felicity, and obtain pardon for their souls. We [have therefore] … granted…free and ample faculty to the aforesaid King to invade, search out, capture, vanquish, and subdue all pagans whatsoever, and other enemies of Christ, wheresoever placed, and the … dominions, possessions, and all … goods whatsoever…possessed by them; and to reduce their persons to perpetual slavery; and to appropriate to himself and his successors their … dominions, possessions and goods, and to convert them to his use and profit…. (Wikipedia,Doctrine of Discovery)

In 1823, when there came before the U.S. Supreme Court a question of the rights of Native Americans to possess and sell their native land, Justice Marshall ruled(Johnson v. M’Intosh) that this nation had the right to expel Native Americans from their lands. In part, he based this right on the doctrines of the fifteenth century popes, asserting that land-discovering nations gained exclusive rights to extinguish the “right of occupancy” of indigenous occupants. In other words, this nation was founded not on a separation of church and state, but on a hidden, white-hot fusion of the name of Jesus Christ to the unfathomed craving in men “to make them do whatever we want…”

The line is unbroken. As fixed as is the arc of an arrow from a bow is the line that links the pope’s doctrine of domination to global warming today at the hands of heedless capitalism, and to every evil in between. It is all one bow that bends to hurl this violence upon history: that emptiness in men that leads them to the love of money and power. That the name of Jesus Christ has been bent to that arc of empire nearly from the beginning must give us quiet. How shall we live under empire?

Empire is neither new nor uniquely Christian, of course. When Jeremiah wrote that letter we heard this morning, it was Babylon’s empire stood atop the ancient world. Jeremiah was counseling how to live under empire. When Jesus was going through the region between Samaria and Galilee, it was the Roman empire that maintained those districts and exercised power over all those peoples “to make them do whatever we want . .” Jesus’ counsels are also for people living under empire. For three centuries after him, the Roman empire constantly threatened the church with violence. Only in the conversion of Emperor Constantine did the Christian religion finally find peace – in service to empire. Never since have the two powers disentangled. The question remains, How shall we live under empire?

If we are pleased with our material condition, the notion that weareliving under empire must sound bizarre. Every day, they remind us that ours is the greatest nation, most generous, most compassionate, and so forth. We will not weigh more facts on that balance today. Rather, praise and admiration for this nation notwithstanding, let us note that both in our scriptures and in our courageous witnesses, Christians, like our cousins the Jews, declare that we only exist when we rightly resist the empire.

Consider Jeremiah’s counsel to the exiles in Babylon. Recall first how confident Jeremiah was that the exiles would one day return to Jerusalem. Why, on the eve of the Babylonian invasion, Jeremiah purchased a field at the edge of Jerusalem and registered its title as a sign and seal of his faith that God would make sacred sense out of Jerusalem’s disaster. Now, to sustain the exiles under empire, Jeremiah encourages them to do two things. One, live your lives. Build, plant, eat, marry, have sex, bear children, multiply in joy! In other words, do not give up on the future. Two, pray to the Lord on behalf of those who have you under empire, for in their welfare you will find your welfare. See into these depths. If you pray for them who aim to use you, you remain distinct from their aims. The greatest peril for them who live under empire is that they become so attracted to the pretty things which empire serves up that they forget who they are, and join in the mass of men leading lives of quiet desperation. But if you pray for them who hold you under empire, you retain your God-given center. Oh, you hurt – but you are not harmed, so long as you know who you are and whose you are! You exist when you resist in prayer your assimilation to all things empire.

The story of Jesus’ healing of ten lepers has a like force. By definition, lepers are exiles. They have no community, no power, no health, and no future. They stand for the disinherited, theanawim ha-aretz, over whom the powerful gloat that they can make them do whatever they want. When Jesus tells the lepers to “go and show yourselves to the priests,” he is sending them to the sole authority who can re-incorporate them into community. That was the priestly role – to decide who was clean and who unclean; who belonged, and who did not. But of the ten men healed, nine took their normalization in stride. They slipped back under the cover of empire and resumed their unmiraculous lives. Only one returned to Jesus with thanks. “And he was a Samaritan.” This is to say that only the outsider, only one who remains conscious of her exile, even after healing – only that one can see what God is doing; only one who still feels resistance can know God’s existence in his life. All the rest sink back into the benefits of living under empire’s wings.

Our condition is not different. Two temptations continually press on Christians of North America. One is to hate those who oppress, violate, and destroy the weakest members of our communities, for hatred sets guards around our self and those with whom we feel moral kinship. But empire laughs at hatred, knowing how brief and small is its flame. The other temptation is so to enjoy the benefits of empire and culture and even some power that one uses even religion and prayer to disappear into the empire, invisible, refusing to see the evil means empire requires to deliver its stuff to its subject people. What is the way between?

Jeremiah says, Pray for the welfare of them who hold the earth captive to unbridled corporatism, for in their welfare will come your welfare. He might as well have said, Love your enemies and pray for them, for by your prayer, you remember who you are, and do not succumb to fires of hatred quickly quenched. After all, if the Creator has put humankind upon the earth to learn to care for all things therein, then the welfare of the powerful is not as they suppose it. Rather, their welfare is only in their surrender. Pray for them, for in their welfare, you will find your welfare.

Jesus praises the one thankful that he is made whole, for only in the spirit of wholeness and gratitude can one find strength to see as an outsider, as a sojourner here, whose only home is in the kingdom of God. Only the grateful and healed can see the tragic arc of empire under which America has toiled and made millions to suffer. In that spirit of gratitude to God, you can with dispassion acknowledge both the genius of this nation and its fatal flaws. In like mood, you can see the Church of Jesus Christ through the ages, and this church, too, through its age, marked by God with Jesus’ generosity and marked also by mortals with fateful, fearful needs for privilege and power.

Prayerful and thankful citizens of the kingdom know they have no allegiance to lesser kingdoms, but only to God’s, and to the prayer that “Your kingdom come, Your will be done on earth.” Then, with each breath given us not by heated passion but by Holy Spirit, we can find our voice and play our part in the possibility that our generation repent of the evils of empire and release our death-grip on this too-hot blue-green planet, and all its inhabitants, great and small. Then may this church, standing in consequential resistance recover its existence as the body of Christ, and live in joy and hope, visible to a new generation yearning to be free.

This sermon by Rev. Stephen Phelps, the interim Senior Minister at the Riverside Church in New York, is part of an ongoing series of sermons we are featuring onTikkun Dailyalongside regular Torah commentaries and spiritual writings from other religious traditions.

Animation: How the Penumbral Lunar Eclipse Will Look

During this penumbral lunar eclipse, the Earth's main shadow does not cover the Moon. As the Earth's shadow (umbra) misses the Moon during a penumbral lunar eclipse, there are no other locations on Earth where the Moon appears partially or totally eclipsed during this event. A penumbral lunar eclipse can be a bit hard to see as the shadowed part is only a little bit fainter than the rest of the Moon.

Boulders Beach review 1 Users say 4/5 Rate it

Cape Town's biggest penguin colony makes its home here in a protected cove, with visitors getting the rare opportunity of swimming alongside them. There are so many penguins that even if you arrive after the gates have closed, you'll still spot plenty of penguins sunning themselves on the rocks.

DENVER -- The NBA trade deadline was never going to be a splashy affair for the Nuggets, but there still was a collective sigh of relief among the team when the deadline passed Thursday and no one had been moved.

"We've made trades around the trade deadline sometimes to fix some things, sometimes to help the team," said coach George Karl. "This has been quiet. I think the team has earned the respect of the coaches and the organization and we're ready to play 27 games to see how good we can be."

The Nuggets had only one player -- backup center Timofey Mozgov -- truly in the mix to be traded, in part because of his expiring contract. But nothing developed that the Nuggets liked enough to trade him.

Mozgov said he will continue to "practice hard" and hope for more playing time. The reality for Mozgov, who will be a restricted free agent this summer, is that he won't get much playing time unless the guys in front of him become injured or get in foul trouble.

General manager Masai Ujiri has preached patience to Nuggets fans with his group of young players. Thursday, his actions spoke in concert with his words. The Nuggets (34-21) appear content to watch the young group grow, not shake things up.

"Everybody is feeling good about it," Ty Lawson said. "Everybody is going to be here. The organization shows that everyone is wanted here and that we have a good team. We've been playing well the last 15, 16, 17, 20 games.

So I'm glad we're keeping everybody intact; now it's time to make this playoff push with everybody we have on the team."

Karl spoke about the benefit of keeping the young talent together.

"I think young players, there's a confidence that comes with familiarity and continuity," Karl said. "There's a confidence that comes with being in a system; kind of what the coach wants and his philosophies of what gets you on the court. I think more than anything we're trying to build an organization and a team that people want to be around and people want to be in. I think we're doing all of that pretty well."

Bonnie's art helps add color to downtown Benicia

Artists are forever seeking a space to showcase work. And real estate offices aren't typically featured on HGTV for creative expression.

Yep, it's a match made on canvas. And few are as thrilled as Bonnie Weidel, a veteran artist and instructor whose 33 mixed media pieces adorn the walls of Renee Marie Jordan's office in downtown Benicia.

Figures, landscapes, abstracts, "curious ideas" and "experiments with media" are featured at the 1038 First St. home of Jordan's business.

"The opportunity to show is high on the agenda for most artists," Weidel said. "I can't not thank the businesses for giving artists the opportunity."

For the business, Weidel added, "it is really about bringing in the community and building a rapport. It is also a public statement by the Realtor.

Several Benicia businesses feature local talent, Weidel said, including The Rellik Tavern, Java Point Cafe, Umpqua Bank, Olson Reality, and the Camellia Tea Room.

"It is a good community activity and I believe the wave is building in Vallejo," said Weidel.

A Benician since 1978, Weidel gained a global view of art living in and visiting Russia, England, France, Italy, Spain and Greece, with short passages to Austria, Germany, Switzerland and Morocco; plus long visits to Canada

and Mexico.

The work at Jordan Real Estate represent the last 40 years, Weidel said, "when I explored every medium and instructor available, from welding to plastic heat formed, wood carving to printmaking, figure drawing and painting methods."

Jordan said that, as an artist herself, she appreciates the talent of others.

"I probably wouldn't have known the importance of a local showing to an artist, if I wasn't an artist," Jordan said. "Also, I like to show local artists' work as a way of giving back to the art community, in that I don't charge commission for their work. It is a group effort. I provide the refreshments and the artist provides hors d'oeuvres for the opening reception."

Years ago, Weidel left the art studio to teach -- "As a single mom, I needed to get to work right now," she said.

A decade after that, she moved to Benicia and opened her own studio and hoped to become a clothing designer while taking a class at Solano Community College.

Weidel was attracted to teaching young people, and began part-time instruction at preschools.

"I left sewing behind," she said.

"What I learned teaching the children was that my work had some parallels to theirs," Weidel said. "Their work helped me understand my own work. And I could share the process and discovery with them."

Whatever the medium, "I like learning the process," Weidel said. "And I like discovering pattern and the visual effects of a medium. I like color. Many of the works reflect this search and inquiry into the materials of visual imaging. And I like sharing the process with my young students, encouraging them to explore."

It's a great feeling, continued Weidel, "to feel surprise when I capture an expression or a sense of place."

Gingerbread Players hit spotlights in sweet musical

After more than half an hour practicing the same dance steps, choreographer Mim Paquin gathers a dozen young actors center stage for a quick refresher in the art of musical theater performance.

“With choreography, it’s not hurry, hurry, hurry to get to the next step,” she said. “You’ve got to keep track of the count. You have to know where the music is otherwise you are going to look like awkward people.”

Naturally, Paquin’s goal is to help her young performers look their best when they step onto the stage at St. Luke’s Church, 85 Greenway South, in the Gingerbread Player’s production of “Bye Bye Birdie,” April 13 to April 21.

For more than 40 years, this Forest Hills Gardens community theater has provided Queens children and teenagers — along with a few grown-ups — a chance to stride the boards and get a peek into the world of the performing arts.

“In the spring we always do a musical that heavily involves children,” said Director Jean Tessier. “It’s about getting the kids exposed to theater and getting them on stage and a chance to shine.”

That is one of the things Kayla Thomsen, 12, who is returning for her fifth show with the group, relishes about her time on stage.

“I personally like it because you can be standing in the background, but they don’t make you feel like you’re in the background,” said Kayla.

The award-winning musical from the early 1960s is a parody of the hysteria surrounding Elvis Presley’s induction into the Army. In the musical version, the Elvis character, “Conrad Birdie,” heads to Sweet Apple, Ohio to bestow one final kiss on an adoring fan. Naturally, chaos ensues.

And for last Saturday’s marathon-rehearsal of the “Lot of Living to Do” number, Kayla and scene partner Nitin Varghese, 14, remain front and center for a good chunk of the song. Nitin plays the part of nerd “Harvey Johnson,” who egged on by “Conrad Birdie’s” carpe diem anthem, grabs Kayla’s character for a spin around the dance floor as the rest of the cast cheers them on.

As the two young performers shake, rattle and roll to the beat, Paquin reminds them to have fun but also to stay in character.

“The kids are fantastic,” said Paquin. “Everything you say, they absorb like a sponge. You want to share these nuggets so they have a good experience.”

It’s worked for Nitin who is also returning for his fifth show with the Gingerbread Players.

“It’s fun,” said Nitin. “They’re like my family. I like acting and having fun with them.”

The Gingerbread Player’s family isn’t limited to St. Luke’s members or just residents of this corner of Forest Hills. Anyone can audition for either the spring musical or the fall show, which tend to focus on older casts for productions like “Arsenic and Old Lace” or a Shakespearean comedy. Throughout the year, St. Luke’s stages several concerts featuring musicians who perform everything from operatic arias to Elton John’s play list.

“We try to keep it diverse,” said Tessier. “Our goal is to have everyone in the community find us. Once they find us, they’ll keep coming back.”

That also goes for Tessier’s crew of actors, who she characterizes as “seriously committed amateur actors” ranging in age from 8 to 80.

Fresh Meadows resident David Duryea falls somewhere in the middle of that demographic. Duryea may spend his days toiling in the St. John’s University Financial Aid Office, but always kept his desire to perform flickering. After tackling a small part in last year’s production of “Annie,” Duryea steps into the lead role of “Albert Peterson” — played by Dick Van Dyke in the original Broadway and Hollywood versions.

“I’ve never played a lead in my life,” said Duryea. “I guess now I’m in the major leagues.” The big-time is exactly where Shannon O’Rourke and Becki Santana, both 16, have their sights set. The two girls, currently enrolled at LaGuardia Performing Arts High School, share the juvenile female lead role of “Kim MacAfee.” Shannon, who lives in the neighborhood and attends services at St. Luke’s, grew up performing in the Gingerbread Player’s shows.

“This has been a great experience,” said Shannon. “I love community theater and I love seeing the younger kids who are really into it.”

Tessier also likes to focus on the younger actors in her theaterical family.

“It brings me tremandous joy seeing the kids when they get it,” said Tessier. “It’s exciting to see that lightbulb go off.”

The Gingerbread Players present “Bye Bye Birdie” at St. Luke’s Church, 85 Greenway South, Forest Hills, Saturday, April 13; Sunday, April 14; Friday, April 19; Saturday, April 20; and Sunday, April 21. Contact (718) 268-7772 for more information.

I couldn't agree more with this editorial. I know a couple people feel that I am being politically correct or too sensitive about the issue of calling a school ss but I feel those are being to naive. The most popular skin head, Arian brotherhood, racist tattoo is the ss. Racism is still very alive especially in Warren county. To put that on a Childs uniform or team spirit apparel is wrong on many levels. However, it seems that parents in the Eisenhower area are also not happy with the initials ES for their possible new name. Lets face it, this is about pride. Pride contributes to the attitudes of the students, teachers, and community. Attitude has a direct affect on education. Instill pride and unity, allow input on the name. Its not to much to ask.

Local reaction to the tourism study

April 9, 2008
Local reaction to the tourism study completed by Gary Esolen and PLACES ranges from positive to lukewarm to incredulous. 'It's just a pretty disappointing response, I think,' Jim Decker, President and CEO of the Warren County Chamber of Commerce, said of the study. 'I don't see that it gives us any real definitive directions. It's very similar to reports we've seen in the past. (The consultants) tell you everything you tell them. You either get a cookie cutter response from the 13 other communities they've looked at or you get your own thoughts thrown back at you in a different presentation. There's not an awful lot here that hasn't been talked in circles here. It's not giving us a real lot of 'reaching for the stars' activities coming out of here. It's a little disappointing that he doesn't paint a brighter picture.' Warren Main Street Manager Chris Cheronis isn't pleased with the study. Cheronis claims Main Street was kept out of a majority of the planning process and was denied a seat on the study's steering committee during the information gathering process. According to her, Main Street lost its seat on the steering committee when former manager Leanne Tingay resigned her Main Street position to take a job in Erie in August 2006. Cheronis served as the Main Street's board president during that time, in addition to being a member of Warren City Council and being employed by the WCCBI. She was eventually named the new Main Street manager to replace Tingay. Cheronis said she repeatedly asked Diane Shawley, director of the Warren County Vacation Bureau (WCVB), to allow Main Street to have a presence on the study's steering committee. The WCVB was the lead agency in administering the $100,000 state grant that paid for the tourism study. 'I asked over and over while I was on the board and we were never included,' Cheronis said. 'I sent an email to Gary Esolen and asked to be involved. He said it was up to Diane.' Cheronis said she attended one of the tourism study meetings as a representative of the WCCBI in May 2006. She said that Shawley told her later that she couldn't sit on the steering committee because Cheronis was a member of the WCCBI. According to Cheronis, Shawley said that giving her a seat would give the WCCBI a double presence on the steering committee, due to Jim Decker already holding a seat. 'Main Street wasn't involved in the way it should of been involved; the city has the same concerns,' Cheronis said. 'I sent emails, I sent requests. The city wasn't involved to the extent it should have been. The information in (the final report) is outdated or inaccurate. I can pick through this and say, 'This has already been done, the city is already working on this.' This study doesn't make it sound like we are doing anything.' Cheronis said that Shawley eventually allowed Anita Cohan, a part-time employee for the Main Street program, to sit on the steering committee. 'At the end of the process we were given a seat at the table,' Cheronis said. 'By then all the information gathering was completed. The frustration is after the steering committee met, there was supposed to be interactive followups with the Library Theatre, Main Street, etc. to discuss things. There never were. There was a big struggle to include Main Street. Everyone is saying we need to work together, we need to work together. The need is there. We need to stop being so political. 'This is not a witch hunt, it's not pointing fingers,' Cheronis said of her complaints. 'We need to address this. We, as a community, we have to decide if it's time to make some changes. We need someone or some group to fill this (tourism development) position. The job is huge. One person cannot do it all. We have too much at stake to drop the ball on this.' A list of steering planning committee members was provided to the Times Observer by Shawley. The committee included: Donna Smith, Marty Hinton, Warren County Commissioner John Bortz, John Eggleson and David Bauer, Jim Osbourne, Jim Decker, Leanne Tingay, Chuck Johnson, Paul Sinclair, Nancy Holmberg, Chris Seymour, Dan Glotz, Bob Raible, Coleen Christy Realty, Blair, the Allegheny National Forest, Craig Scalise, Mike Olewine of State Rep. Kathy Rapp's office, Nancy Moony and Irish Smith, John Pape and Piper Lindell. 'It's fact,' Shawley wrote in a email to the Times Observer. 'The City and Main Street were invited. I'd like to know who feels snubbed because I'll contact then and set this straight.' Allen McIntosh, representing the Warren Landmark Foundation and a board member for the Crary Gallery, sided with Cheronis, saying that there were parties missing on the steering committee. McIntosh attended many of the study's planning sessions, calling them 'long, four or five hours' and 'productive.' 'But all the parties weren't at the table,' McIntosh said. 'Main Street, the city, the marina on the reservoir, the Crary. Warren County wasn't represented at the table. I have no idea why. I mean, the Crary? The Crary is the only organization for sure that's truly an excellent fine arts gallery.' Esolen weighed in on the steering committee selection process via an email: 'We did not choose the steering committee for this project, that was done by the WCVB, I assume in cooperation with the county commissioners. We had broad participation, and I am sure Diane Shawley can document that and explain her decisions as to who was invited.' 'I can't speak to that,' Warren County Commissioner John Eggleston said, concerning Cheronis' claim that Main Street wasn't included in much of the information gathering process. 'I don't know why they would be excluded. Certainly we were never asked about that. We were asked to give input on who would be on the steering committee. I can't see any reason for (Main Street not having a seat). I don't have any reason to question what Chris is saying, but I don't have any first-hand knowledge.' Asked if he believed the study might be outdated due to the length of time it took to complete it, Eggleston said. 'Not really. I think that the problems that we're dealing with pretty much remain the same. I didn't read anything and say, 'oh, well, that['s all changed.' Commissioner John Bortz gave his views of the completed study. 'I've had the opportunity to read the reports that were presented by Gary Esolen's PLACES,' Bortz said. 'They outline a number of initiatives that have been a matter of public discussion for some time. They add further credibility to ongoing projects the county is involved in. Specifically, I'm encouraged by the acknowledgment of the study asserting that we need better communications with the Allegheny National Forest. I think some progress has been made in that area; however, we need to answer the question of county/AFN invovlement with an exclamation point. We need to be definitive, decisive and goal-oriented with that relationship.'

Appreciates effort to keep park clean

June 15, 2014
Linda Jubeck, Marshalltown , Times-Republican

Myself and many others would like to thank a man whose name we do not know. There were many dead fish at the Glenwood Park Pond. Nobody wanted to do anything about it. Park & Rec said they did not have the man power and the city council said the same thing. This man went and cleaned as many fish as he could reach - about 200. It was looking terrible and beginning to smell. It now looks much better except for green moss, trash and dog messes. Please people, do not throw your garbage in the pond and please pick up after your pets.

(?)MS FrontPage for Linux/Apache:

From Terry Singleton on 18 Aug 1998

Hi there,

Being a newbie LINUX user I searched YAHOO and found your site. It is a relief to actually find a site which has some newbie material..thanks.

I am hoping you can shed some light on this subject.

I recently put up a LINUX server, I am hoping to use it for email and http purposes. However our users are not knowledgeable enough to be able to ftp html files into their directories and therefore we would like to use Front Page. I have downloaded and installed APACHE 1.3.1 and noticed that MS does have FP extensions that are supposed to run on LINUX and APACHE.

(!)I think you are underestimating your users. You might want to find the WS_FTP and/or the "CuteFTP" package. These shareware Windows packages are pretty easy for Windows users --- and work pretty much like the old file manager.
(As for e-mail, I suppose some/many of them will be use Netscape Communicator's POP client. You can also offer them Eudora and Pegasus Mail. These will work with any POP server --- including whichever one was almost certainly already installed with your distribution).
The easiest way to allow your Windows users access to their files on your web server is to install and use Samba. Samba implements the SMB protocol --- which is the native file sharing system that's implemented in Windows for Workgroups, Windows '95, Windows '98, Windows NT, and OS/2 (LAN Manager and LAN Server). files.
With Samba you'd give each user access to their home directory (possibly creating symlinks from their home directories to any shared directories). You users would simply drag and drop files using the same file manager and "Explorer" interfaces that they'd use with any other WfW or NT fileserver.
You can also create group shares (on your Linux or other Unix system) which will automatically show up to the appropriate users in their browse lists.
The last time one of my associates looked into using Microsoft's FrontPage server extensions the idea was abandoned without even attempting the installation. There were showstopper limitations and design features that obviated any need to look further at it.
Her conclusion was also supported by a number of messages that I've read on the Bugtraq and NTSecurity mailing lists.
So I recommend that you reconsider your options and avoid FrontPage if you have any choice in the matter.
If you insist on using FP despite these limitations then you'll probably want to look at:
The Unofficial FP Server Extensions Home Page
Although I've never used it, I've read about another way to upload files to a web server using HTTP POST commands. It's described in the O'Reilly book on _CGI_Programming_ (one with a mouse on the cover) on page 414 (Appendix D).
Basically you create a form that looks like so:
File Upload Form </TITLE>

File Upload Form

<FORM ACTION="/cgi-bin/upload.pl"
ENCTYPE="multipart/form-data" METHOD="POST">
Your Name: <INPUT TYPE="text" NAME="username">
File to Upload: <INPUT TYPE="file" NAME="filename">
<INPUT TYPE="submit" VALUE="Send the Multi-part (MIME) file...">
<INPUT TYPE="reset" VALUE="Clear/Restart">
At the time it was only supported in Netscape. This will show up as a form with a filename field, and a "Browse" button next to that. I don't know if any other browsers ever added support for it. (I just check with Lynx 2.7.2 --- it recognized the INPUT TYPE="file" and rendered it as "Not Implemented")
Also you'll have to create/find a cgi script/program that implemented the file/MIME decoding portion of this (I just used "upload.pl" as a placeholder for this example).
That same book listed some Perl 5 modules that might be useful for this sort of thing --- I think one of them was "BasePlus.pm" --- you'd want to search CPAN (the Comprehensive Perl Archive Network: http://www.cpan.org, http://www.perl.com/CPAN-local among many) for related work.
I don't know for sure but you might start at:
CPAN: By Category: WWW, HTML, HTTP and CGI

(?)Being new to LINUX I have no idea how to get started.
Some of the questions I have:

  1. How do install them,,do they run on 1.3.1?
  2. After installation how are they configure?
  3. How do we setup permissions?
(!)I don't know the answers to any of these questions. However, I think you'll find some instructions at the two sites listed above.

(?)4. Virtual hosting would be nice but I think simply subdir will suffice for each user (using the ~username notation).

(!)There are a couple of HOWTO's on this.
The one you'll want to start with is:

(!)Any help or direction would help.

(!)This is a start.

(?)Re: Linux Gazette

From Terry Singleton on 20 Aug 1998

thanks...I would love some more information on getting SAMBA working. I have read alot about a NFS client. Will I still need the NFS client to connect when using SAMBA.

(!)No. You won't need NFS to access your Samba systems. As for more info on Samba --- there's a whole book on the subject. There's also an SMB-HOWTO that's quite old but should still get you started;
... I gather that this hasn't been updated since '96! I know that Samba has been under constant, sometimes intense, development throughout that time. However, the basics still work that same.

(?)Or if I implement SAMBA will the machine be accessible by \\linuxmachinename like other NT boxes...do I have to create a WINS entry for the LINUX box??

(!)Yes. You can use UNC naming and normal "Explorer" browsing to access your Linux box. It will look "just like" an NT box to those protocols. (Many sysadmin's have reported that they've replaced NT servers with Linux with increases in performance, capacity, reliability --- and no complaints or comments from their users).

From Terry Singleton on 20 Aug 1998

You really are the answer guy, thanks for your time.

General Comments: Being new to LINUX I am very impressed with it. I initially bought a copy of RedHat to get started with UNIX. The college just bought this bohemith DEC ALPHA server which is to run DEC UNIX. Because I was now to learn this OS I thought it prudent to play with LINUX as it would install on my machine quite easily.

After inserting my setup boot diskette and 20 minutes of answering quite simple questions I am up and running with LINUX and a GUI called CDE. Although I would not install the GUI on a server for a desktop environment it is quite nice.

The RedHat install detected by 3COM905 NIC card, my ATI video card and used my DHCP server to set itself up on the network, I must say that even with NT or 95 most of the time I need to supply additional drivers for the install, not in LINUX's case. Now I must say that I am not sure that these drivers are optimized for the OS but they are functioning fine.

After having great success with LINUX on the desktop and learning most of the basic shell commands I installed LINUX again, this time in a server environment(kind of a rogue operation). Configured sendmail, qpopper and dns; now this little LINUX box handles all our student email and DNS requirements. It replaced 2 NT servers and handles 2000 POP3 users and 1000's of emails per day.

Future Directions: I am hoping LINUX can provide some much needed LDAP services for email address books and I may even consider using LINUX as our corporate web server OS, because LINUX also provides SAMBA file services we may even look to LINUX for our file and print services needs. The only thing holding me back in this arena is MS's ASP technology which is a great server side scripting language. Perhaps when SUN et al finalize JSP (JAVA Server Pages) and the JDK is released for LINUX I will re-examine this issue.

To move this environment to the desktop for the masses I would say to COREL, keep up the good work(they ported Word Perfect to LINUX), to Triteal, keep working on the CDE environment.

LINUX definetly is an OS with much greater potential than any other OS currently in development.
