How many people are interested in using GrimmSpeed's new crank pulley tool for installing their LWCP? I've had a Perrin pulley sitting around for 5 (yes, 5) years and am finally re-motivated to install it after seeing this. It seems like the type of product that for most, would be used once and that's it. That being said, it would be great if we could all make use of it.

Thinking I could buy one for $50 + shipping and let the next person use it for $45 shipped. They give it to the next person for $45 shipped, and so on and so on. This means once the install is done and the next person needs it, you are basically just out the cost of shipping and that's it.

4 commentaires:

    merci pour cette recette

  2. Hypnotherapy may be a mental think (think concept) or set of attitudes and beliefs (non-state idea) typically induced by a procedure called a hypnotic induction, and that is normally composed of your series of preliminary directions and strategies.[1[[]|]|[]|] Hypnotic ideas can be delivered by a hypnotist inside presence of the theme, or could be self-administered ("self-suggestion" or "autosuggestion"). The usage of hypnotism for therapeutic functions is referred to as "hypnotherapy".

    The words 'hypnosis' and 'hypnotism' both derive from your phrase "neuro-hypnotism" (nervous slumber) coined by the Scottish surgeon James Braid all-around 1841. Braid dependent his practice on that created by Franz Mesmer and his followers ("Mesmerism" or "animal magnetism"), but differed in his hypothesis as to how the treatment worked.

    Contrary to a well-known misconception - that hypnotherapy is a kind of unconsciousness resembling slumber - contemporary investigation suggests that it really is in fact a wakeful state of focused attention[2[[]|]|[]|] and heightened suggestibility,[3[[]|]|[]|] with diminished peripheral consciousness.[4[[]|]|[]|] In the 1st book about the subject matter, Neurypnology (1843), Braid described "hypnotism" like a state of physical relaxation accompanied and induced by mental concentration ("abstraction").[5[[]|]|[]|]

    How does our subconscious thoughts impact our daily everyday living?

    The unconscious spirit retailers all of the memories, reactions, everything which has ever took place to you, even if you ever tend not to have a mindful recollection of it. It truly is like a giant storeroom of one's past.It also controls our bodily functions : breathing, heart rate, digestion and system temperature.

    Hypnotherapy delivers us into an altered point out of consciousness, where by the conscious head is ready to have a much-needed break from your unceasing chatter in the intellect. Our brain waves transform in the alpha express.They sluggish down much like when we are just about to fall asleep at night. At that time, we have authorized our physique and mind to sluggish down.The thoughts reaches a heightened point out of concentrate and clarity.

    Each and every person's encounter belonging to the hypnotic progression will likely be several.

    1 item which is for selected is people's expectation from the practice is a significant factor in generating an suitable area for adjust.The crucial could be the person's willingness and capacity to surrender to something new. By way of the hypnotic course of action there is definitely an possibility to learn regarding the deeper elements of you and unlearn ingrained habits to get a far much more positive outcome.

    The truth is always that we are in and out of hypnotherapy all day long. A hypnotherapistacts as being a facilitator for switch in essence the transformation arrives from inside the client. All hypnotherapy is self-hypnosis.Hypnotherapy happens somewhere there is certainly a shift during the express of brain.This shift in mental talk about delivers the ultimate space for letting go of limiting thoughts. Though a lot misunderstood,hypnosis could be just what you would like for making powerful adjust with your living.

  4. [url=http:/www./buyingmarijuanasale.info] Buying marijuana[/url] remains one in the most abused drugs especially among the youth and has over 200 street names including mary jane, weed, herb, pot, ganja, hash, among others. It comes from a Cannabis Sativa plant and is green or brown in appearance. The drug is derived from the flowers, leaves, seeds, and stems from the marijuana plant. Marijuana contains over 400 chemicals but the primary active ingredient is delta-9-tetrahydrocannabinol (THC) and is responsible for the drug's psychoactive and mind-altering effects.

    The psychoactive outcomes of marijuana may vary depending on the route of administration, or in easy terms, how a individual uses the drug. Higher doses of this drug can trigger hallucinations, delusions, paranoia, and anxiety. Long-term users could possibly have decreased interest in goals, hampered concentration, drowsiness, and euphoria --- all of which may perhaps eventually lead to inappropriate decisions, poor physique coordination, and memory loss. Marijuna use may well can also bring severe harm to the lungs, impair respiratory functions, and ruin sexual health. Marijuana may well trigger serious damage to lungs, far more serious than cigarettes because it really is inhaled deeply and held for longer periods than cigarettes. Marijuana may well interfere with male sexual functions and reproduction by increasing vasodilation in the genitals and ejaculation challenges. It may possibly also bring about lessening of sperm count and degeneration. The females, on the other hand, might encounter suppression of this ovulation process, disruption of menstruation cycles, and damaged eggs. Excessive use of marijuana more than extended periods of time induce depression, loss of libido, and impotence. The consequences of marijuana is associated with lower fertility rates and increased risk of producing abnormal embryo.

    In addition to these outcomes of marijuana abuse and [url=http:/www./buyingmarijuanasale.info] marijuana sale [/url], you can find other parts of the body that are adversely affected by the use of marijuana. The chemicals found in this not [url=http://www.legalweed.drugreviews.info] legal weed[/url] have been reported to destruction the brain's sensory reactions. Higher doses of marijuana also leads to incidences of hallucinations, delusions, paranoia, and anxiety.
    Blood vessels may well also expand due to vasodilation and might bring about reddening of this eyes. The side effects of marijuana could possibly be heightened if coupled with other street drugs like cocaine and Lysergic acid Diethylamide (LSD).

    It truly is never too late to break the habit, or far more appropriately, the [url=http://www.cannabishigh-pillshigh.info] marijuana high[/url]. It might seem challenging since it's 1 with the most obtainable drugs that can very easily be acquired. People who wish to quit marijuana use normally knowledge sleeplessness, irritability, elevated aggression, and other withdrawal symptoms. Having said that, overcoming the addiction as well as the withdrawal symptoms isn't an impossible task. For some, becoming confined to a drug treatment facility and counselling may possibly be required to break the habit. Studies show that far more than 120,000 individuals will enter a drug treatment facility to aid them in their marijuana difficulties. With the right tools and attitude, quitting smoking and reducing the well being consequences of secondhand smoke could be easier than others think. Understanding ill-effects of marijuana to sexual health and overall well-being is vital in ending the said addiction.
    By the way, [url=http://legalwaystogethigh.drugreviews.info/Lions-Tail-Marijuana-Alternatives.html] legal bud[/url] dont work! Just saying cause some mislead you into thinking its some sort of legal marijuana alternatives, which is absolutely lie!

Bystrzycki Wedding Weekend!

. Holy crap, I can't believe this weekend is here.  October 1, 2011.  Mark it down as the Bystrzycki wedding weekend!  And you can bet your bottom dollar I had to Facebook their last name to make sure I spelled it correctly.  Gotta be so complicated, Timmy!

But I'm heading home tonight for wedding festivities galore and I can't wait to be back in Woodbury with my family and best-of-friends.  It seems like just yesterday the couple got engaged and now they're finally tying the knot!  Eek!  But I feel so incredibly blessed to be able to share the entire day with them.

So you can correctly assume that there won't  be any posts this weekend.  I'll be a little too busy wiping away happy tears and tearing up the dance floor [ah ha, only joking.  The dance floor tears me up!]!  But I do want to leave you with an array of pictures from Brit's wedding shower and bachelorette party.  Oh, the memories! See you all next week! .

Wedding Shower
The beautiful bride-to-be (left) and Kels [also beautiful; right].  One of the bridesmaids!
One of my besties, Mel and me.  Also bridesmaids.
Graham and Tilly after running around with the children.
Naughty, naughty!
Wedding shower group!
 Bachelorette Party Time!

Din, din!  Pastas, chicken, garlic bread, salad, and Salty Tart cupcakes!

All of the lovely ladies! Black themed [except for the Bachelorette!].

Annd not so lovely ;)
Had to make her do it.

I would call this a successful Bachelorette night :)

Wedding pictures to follow!

  1. You girls are going to be such beautiful bridesmaids for a beautiful bride. Happy weekend!

  2. What a fun weekend! Weddings and catching up with old friends are always the best of times.

  3. @Jennifer Lien Aww, thanks Jenn!!

    @Ashley@Bakerbynature It was a great weekend, and yes, being around your best friends is never a bad time! It always makes me miss them more though :)

  4. This is really an interesting blog as it focuses on the very important topic. i came to know about so many things or tips.

    Wire Sculptures by Artist Gavin Worth.
    "By bending black wire into something of freestanding line drawings, I create sculptures that engage the viewer by involving them in their subtle changes. When the light in the room shifts, so does the mood of the piece. A breeze might softly move an arm. My wire sculptures tell stories of simple human moments: a woman adjusting her hair, a face gazing from behind tightly wrapped arms, a mother gently cradling her baby. The honest, unguarded moments are the ones that I find to be the most beautiful."

Samsung ATIV Book 9 Style is coated in fake leather

A few of Samsung’s latest phones and tablets include faux-leather backs. You can find them on the Samsung Galaxy Note 3 and Galaxy Note 10.1 2014 Edition. Soon you may also be able to buy a Samsung notebook with a fake leather finish.

samsung ativ book 9 style

A member f the Korean forum Seeko spotted a new notebook with the same faux-leather material attached to the lid. It’s reportedly called the Samsung ATIV Book 9 Style, and it basically looks like someone took the ATIV Book 9 Plus ultrabook and stitched a leather cover to the lid for some reason.

Other features include four speakers instead of the usual two. This laptop may also be larger than the 13.3 inch ATIV Book 9 Plus — another picture at Seeko suggests the notebook will have a 15.6 inch display, an Intel Core i5 or Core i7 Haswell processor 8GB of storage, NVIGIA GT750M graphics, and up to 1TB of storage.

There’s no word on how much this model will cost, whether it’ll be available world-wide, or why anyone would want a fake leather lid on their laptop.

via SamMobile and MovePlayer

  • Michael Thompson

  • Arrdee

    Egad. Now we have phones with wood (fake or real I don’t recall) and tablets with leather. What next, a bone stylus?
    Sheesh, we’re not Apple customers, silly marketeers!

  • Me

    Leave it to Samsung to make anything look tacky. Their next design will probably be a Leopard print fake fur coating.

  • Why would samsung want to change their great Ativ book 9 laptop design?

  • Jimbob

    Psion did it 15 years ago, although they used real leather — the netBook. I have one sitting on my shelf right now. A beautiful machine.

  • pirate

    Samsung should rather focus on updating their ultrabook line! I hoped to buy an Samsung ultrabook with an Haswell processor for Xmas, but apart from the ridiciously expensive there was nothing!

We got the hang of it now and Ayla’s amazing. So we have about 10 videos up on YouTube now, linked to the subtitles that we did on dotsub.com. She’s going to tackle google earth overlays and youth film festival submissions next week when she’s all done subtitling and uploading the Rwanda videos.

Meanwhile the Brazil Congress has me tearing my hair out! It’s been difficult to organize with so many moving pieces. I’m sure it will all be worth it when we all arrive and the preparatory conference with the kids starts, and they have a chance to voice their opinions in the Congress sessions.

We have provisional approval for the YETAM project next year so I’ve been working a lot on planning for that as well as finalizing this year.

The Kenya meeting on the horizon finally. I’m really looking forward to that. We’re almost done with the agenda and I’m really excited about that week and everything we’ll share and discuss.

But it’s hard to believe the year is almost over. I’ll be in Brazil for 10 days, back for 5, in Kenya for 7, back for 5 and then off to Los Angeles to finally have a break with my whole family for Christmas holidays. I hope I can stay off email and actually relax because there is another insane year ahead….

YETAM on YouTube now!

I’m so excited because now YouTube has captions now. And I have a GREAT intern named Ayla who is doing all the subtitling for the Rwanda videos. She’s posted several of them on dotsub.com and done the subtitles from Kinyarwandan and from English (using the documents that Joseph and Baptiste did). Chrystel from Plan Rwanda will send us the French versions soon, and so all 3 planned languages will be done.

We were getting some comments that the videos were not loading quickly so we are testing with YouTube and now will be posting in both places. Basically it’s really simple. We take the videos and compress them into flash (.flv) files, and upload them to dotsub.com to do the subtitling. Then we upload them also to YouTube and we download the subtitle files from YouTube and re-upload/attach them to the YouTube file. And it’s working super well. I started a PlanYETAM channel so as the videos get loaded they will be available there.

Once Ayla finishes uploading Rwanda films, we should have the Mali and the Senegal ones in hand to start uploading. I’m hoping that the web company can the just embed the videos from YouTube and they will come complete with the captions. You can also use geo-location from YouTube, which is cool since I’ve been wanting to do a google earth overlay for quite awhile, and now with the videos on YouTube it will be a snap. Ayla is already figuring it out — she’s great!

I am dying to see the Senegal and Mali films since I wasn’t at the training. Mali sent a really cool attachment with their quarterly report. They used an evaluation methodology called Most Significant Change where you use storytelling to identify the most significant change from the training. So there are some amazing stories and quotes from the kids in there. I hope that we can use this for the upcoming YETAM projects in the next countries.

I had to do a presentation today at our office because it’s already been 6 months that I’ve been on this ‘secondment’ or special assignment with the West Africa office. I can’t believe it’s gone by so fast. I think I’ve enjoyed almost every minute of it.

Perhaps someone is old enough to remember the original Lemmings game, a puzzle-platformer video game developed by DMA Design and published by Psygnosis in 1991. Originally developed for the Amiga, Lemmings was one of the most popular video games of its era, the basic objective of the game is to guide a group of humanoid lemmings through a number of obstacles to a designated exit. In order to save the required number of lemmings to win, one must determine how to assign a limited number of eight different skills to specific lemmings that allow the selected lemming to alter the landscape, to affect the behavior of other lemmings, or to clear obstacles in order to create a safe passage for the rest of the lemmings.

This gameplay has been reused by many games in these years and today I want to present you the last heir of this big family : Spirits

This is the official presentation of the game:

Autumn is coming. Leaves fall, and spirits rise from the fallen leaves to begin their journey home. You must guide them, without direct control, by changing how the wind blows or by rebuilding the ground. Each spirit can be sacrificed to perform one of four actions – build a bridge of leaves, create a blowing cloud, dig tunnels, or block wind currents in an area. Use your actions wisely or you will run out of spirits.

So at the start of each level you start with a finite number of spirits that usually walk in one direction unless they hit a wall in which they turn tail and head the other way. They also float on wind currents indicated by elegant particle swarms, on each level there is a particular wind current that you must use or block to bring a certain number of spirit to the Vortex that represents the end point of the level.

Our spirits can be used to perform four actions:

  • The first allows you to transform a spirit into a cloud that blows wind in a direction of your choice in order to drive the following spirits.
  • The second one turns the spirit into a sphere that has the task of plugging into cracks and areas from which comes the wind that is not useful for your purpose
  • The third allow you turn the spirit into a vines that allows you to create staircases and bridges useful to overcome the obstacles in the level
  • Fourth and final action gives you the ability to mutate into a ball, that turning quickly, dig into the soil, creating tunnels and small galleries.

  • Play through 46 beautiful hand-drawn levels in a poetic game world
  • Influence a highly dynamic wind system and dig through destructible level geometry to help the spirits find their way to the swirl
  • Collect hard-to-reach plants and find the perfect solution to each level
  • Stunning illumination effects meet thousand and one particles
  • The computer version of Spirits offers beautifully redrawn hi-res graphics up to 2560×1440 pixels.
  • Orchestral music and sound effects by IGF-nominee Martin Straka
  • Online world ranks for each individual level

How to get the game

the game can be bought directly from the official website for 10$ or from Desura at the same price, and it’s available for Linux, Win, Mac and Android (for around 3$).

I redid it, and made sure that the partition was a multiple of 512Mb.
This left 192Mb unused.

The partition was successfully created and the install is on the way.

Whether or not colors are appropriate depends a lot on the context; each
case has to be thought about separately.  What people (including me) are
saying is that colors are the wrong thing for this case.

[Though, FWIW, I think that changes in _brightness_ are generally less

About the extended_e.patch.bz2: Guile CVS has a similar mechanism
(inspired by ttn's extended '-e' option).  I find this way of doing
things cleaner since we now have a single way to directly refer to
variables in their modules.

The 'design discussion' (cough) starts here:

Also see the thread at

Excerpt from NEWS:

    ** The '-e' option now 'read's its argument.

    This is to allow the new '(@ MODULE-NAME VARIABLE-NAME)' construct to
    be used with '-e'.  For example, you can now write a script like

      #! /bin/sh
      exec guile -e '(@ (demo) main)' -s "$0" "$@"

      (define-module (demo)
        :export (main))

      (define (main args)
        (format #t "Demo: ~a~%" args))

    * Changes to Scheme functions and syntax

    ** New syntax '@' and '@@':

    You can now directly refer to variables exported from a module by

    For example (@ (ice-9 pretty-print) pretty-print) will directly access
    the pretty-print variable exported from the (ice-9 pretty-print)
    module.  You don't need to 'use' that module first.  You can also use
    '@' with 'set!'.

    The related syntax (@@ MODULE-NAME VARIABLE-NAME) works just like '@',
    but it can also access variables that have not been exported.  It is
    intended only for kluges and temporary fixes and for debugging, not
    for ordinary code.

That is because you have allowed your backend write access to the

allowing it to write to the mounted filesystem.

[PC-BSD Testing] PC-BSD 7.1 Alpha1 is up!

Bill Leeper protagonist at charter.net
Fri Feb 6 17:46:28 PST 2009

A few quick comments. This version as of now is pretty much useless
for me. It installs just fine, but from there it goes downhill.

I have a nVidia 8500 video card so I may be running into the problems
you talked about.

When I boot to the video setup screen it does not automatically detect
my card. It defaults to vesa with a resolution of 1024x768 but the
monitor is really 1600x1200. It is extremely difficult to change
either the driver or the resolution. When I click on the drop down
arrow the selection box opens but as soon as I move the mouse off the
arrow the box closes up. I did find that my using the cursor keys the
selection would move but you can't see it move. You have to move it
and then click the mouse and the box will close with the resolution
selected that you couldn't see.   :-)   Anyway, by trial and error I
managed to select the nVidia driver and the resolution.

When I clicked next it tried to set the driver and resolution but came
back with an error message about failing in the attempt. When I tried
the vesa driver I was actually able to boot into 7.1, but I still had
to go through the trial and error method to select vesa and the
resolution I wanted. When I finally got booted into 7.1 the top 1" of
the screen was corrupted video of all different colors. It was as if
the whole thing was moved down the screen by about that much. The task
bar at the bottom was off the screen. I could actually make the menu
pop up by moving the mouse clear to the bottom in the correct place
and clicking. So I was able to bring up the menu but I could never see
the task bar.

The final major problem was that everything was incredibly slow. I
have never seen PCBSD run this slow. When I opened the settings it
took a long time. Once in there none of the items would open when I
double clicked on them so I could not even try to change any of the

Anyway, I will do some more playing and get back with you.

That is actually a wart in AMQP.  Exchange, queue and binding
declaration are idempotent - which is a good thing - but the
corresponding destructive operations are not.

Also, there is an inconsistency here between unbind and, say, queue and
exchange deletion. The latter raise 404 *channel* error when the
mentioned resources do not exist. But the unbind is required to raise a
connection error under similar conditions.

[plt-scheme] Scheme contradictions

From: Glenn Ambrose (glennambrose at hotmail.com)
Date: Tue May 2 21:05:25 EDT 2006

It is funny how one is tempted to write or talk about things not fully
understood. I have given in to temptation and have writen about my
observations which true or false are the observations of an outsider wanting
to get in.

As a High School teacher I have had the thought that the internet is a fine
tool to aid the learner. The plan was to make a site that: introduced the
concepts, tested, gave feedback, allowed me to know what areas the students
were having difficulties so that I knew to rework those pages and showed the
relationship of one concept to another. So I started to learn HTML. Then I
wanted to make it look presentable so I learned CSS, mathML. To do the
testing, give feedback and get feedback I needed to learn: SQL, MySQL, PHP,
Apache, RDF and a bit of Javascript. All this just to make a website and I
will, no doubt, come across other languages and systems that I will have to

Looking around on the net I discovered DrScheme. Here we have a server,
servlets, continuations (don't understand but the concept sounds good), a
way to present pages and connect to a database. All seems great. The
language I like, despite what others might say I like the parentheses. The
'(' to start and a ')' to finish; makes sense. Also to me it keeps the code
neat and readable. The prefix notation, again makes sense, it places all the
important information first and puts everything else into context. So
basically for these reasons and others that I have learned about along with
the near religious devotion that Scheme/Lisp programmers show have sold me.

Here now is the contradiction. A programming language called Scheme yet
there seems little scheme as a term refering to a goal there. I look around
and I see alot of people each with a different implimentation pretty much
repeating the work of each other. I see a language like Ruby created by one
guy in Japan already eclipsing Scheme with 25 years head start. Scheme is a
language that seems made for the web but is unable to create a unified,
concerted effort. In the other languages like Ruby, Python, PHP (all started
by one person) a single unified community pops up and quickly there are lots
of applications and documentation to help the learner. Looking on
SourceForge I could hardly find a calculator that was written solely in
Scheme. So looking at Scheme from the point of view of web-programming, an
area of great interest for me and much of the computing world, the Scheme
community is divided in it's effort. In this one area, there is: laml,
WebIt, DrScheme's own x-expressions, Swindle (though apart of DrScheme is
still different from the x-expressions), BRL. There are probable other
methods out there but my question is why is there no effort to pool peoples
time and effort and work towards one system that could provide more to
everybody concerned?

When it comes to learning the language it is very difficult outside of a
classroom environment. There are SICP and HtDP but taken outside of a
classroom setting they take a great deal of determination to get through.
Compare this to Logo, you start out drawing little pictures and writing
small conversations you can have with the computer. Fun and interesting.
Netlogo, make a landscape with a hundred little turtles that will run up the
nearest hill, all in one sitting. Fun and interesting. Visual Basic, make a
simple calculator, that looks like a calculator. Interesting. Scheme, write
a series of fibbonacci numbers. Unless your name is Fibbonacci this isn't
interesting. People would be willing to put up with a lot of boredom if
there is a pot of gold at the end as learning Java demonstrates. There are
so many different types applications that can be created with the language.
Scheme has no pot of gold though I feel that there is one there to be found.

People seem to learn best when they are persuing a goal. As web-programming
and games have such wide appeal why are these not used as vehicles for
teaching Scheme. Students will be able to walk away from the course with
either an interactive website or a game instead of a series of fibonacci
numbers. More motivating don't you think. The code of the website or game
could be preexisting for the student which as the student learns more about
the language they will be able to taylor more and more of the website/game
to there own wishes. There will also be a large stock of professionally
written code that the student can model, read and learn from.

At the moment much of the documentation already out there assumes much from
the user already. The documentation for Webit, PLT-web-server and such are
not written for someone just learning and definately don't come with the
hand holding that javascript, PHP or any other of the more popular languages
come with. Scheme documentation is very terse. I realise that detailed
documentation and tutorials would be very time consuming to produce but it
also seems to be a difficulty of having everyone working alone and

I am practically a blank slate where programming is concern so what i have
written is just my uneducated observation. As an observation Scheme does
strike me as a great language, a universal key of languages. So as not to
critise without a solution I would like to help with documentation or in
some way that a blank slate can help.

As I understood it there is the its:span element and/or the its:dir

Many P&C elements can have an its:dir attribute, and we've implemented
all of these though not yet all consistently. For example, if you set
its:dir on license, then you'll get that info in the Wookie widget
catalogue with ITS attribute, but we haven't ensured that the same is
true for description and longname (though this mail has reminded me to
go and fix it...)

The its:span element is trickier as its an exception then to the
general rules for processing content in P&C and requires special
handling as it would be the only case where markup is allowed inside

I think solving this issue may resolve others, as you then have a

Well like I say I'm pushing for both so user has choice of the optimally
formatted page like the ones your talking about, or the default page with
access features, so that people with disabilities are seeing the same page.

I believe that your point is: given finite resources by page authors do we
want to ask them to put in the effort to make the default page accessible
or focus their attention on the dynamically generated page.

I've tried to echo what I've heard, albeit in a slightly different context,
from users who are blind.  At this point I'm going to defer to opinions
from those users whom I'm sure we'll be hearing from directly.

You also asked me to clarify the following:

>    "3. Even if dynamically generated pages are really equivalent, they can
>    "send the message" that so called "text-only" pages are needed... and
>    promote their use where they are hand written and subject to error."

I'm sorry I wasn't clear.  Here's what I was trying to say.  Lets suppose
we have a site in which there are alternative optimally formatted pages.
The user would opt into those pages in some way.  Now suppose an average
sighted user looks at them.  The user will see what looks like what we call
"text-only" pages.  That could give the impression that accessibility is
synonymous with such text-only pages.  Now, we all know the problems of
such pages when created by hand... they get out of date, may not be
complete, link to inaccessible pages, etc.  You are avoiding these problems
by automatic generation.  But that's a more subtle point.  I'm concerned
that the existance of such pages would lead the average web author to just
go off and create the old fashioned text-only pages with all their
attendant problems.

If on the other hand, the default page is accessible, then you can easily
avoid that problem, because the page on which the person selects the
alternatate format could clearly say something like:

Note: All default pages are accessible to people with disabilities per the
w3c guildelines.  However, the following options are available to make
their use more efficient to people with disabilities.  People without
disabilities may also find some of these options attractive, especially if
they are using older browsers or slow internet connections.

You can't say that if the default pages aren't accessible.

I want to repeat that I think what you're doing to go beyond basic
accessibility and maximize efficiency is extremely valuable and important.
It could make the difference between a person being able to compete or not
compete on equal terms with non-disabled colleagues.   I just don't want to
give up the option of conventional accessible pages in the process.

In response to Charles McCathieNevile:

Rather than expecting / hoping developers will do what we think they should,
we should provide clear guidelines. For the conscientious developers much of
this will be 'low hanging fruit', but for others it will be a wake-up call.

The group has discussed CSS for alternative table rendering and other complex
processes that go well beyond fonts / colors. If we state that enabling CSS
support for an alternate rendering style is what a UA needs to do, we are
_not_ making a clear statement that the user shouldn't need to research and
reinvent arcane stylesheet code if they want to implement that alternative.

An extreme example: can a vendor who makes their source code available claim
that their product is therefore 100% accessible and 100% flexible, because all
it takes to meet specific needs is writing your own code? A developer once
made a similar claim to me (that his product was compatible with all
peripherals and major operating systems because you could buy the source code
and re-write it however you wanted.)

Hi Doug,

Please correct me if I'm wrong. But isn't it the case that :

  - A double click results in multiple click (and also mousedown and mouseup) events, but results in one DOMActivate element with a context info of detail equal to 2.

  - XForms depends on both DOM Events and XML Events and explictly refers to a number of the events defined in DOM Events which must be implemented by an XForms implementation. This ensures full compatibility with host langagues that also use DOM Events, and prevents the needless 'dispatching' of simular events (sometimes the only difference beeing the name if 'focusin' and 'focusout' are introduced) if the same events are used by the host language. Having the same events in the host language and XForms has the additional benefit of a better integration they can be handled, propagation stopped, or canceled in the host language in the same way as if they've been dispatched to native host language controls(having two simular events has the additional disatvantage of having a capture original event, default action original, capture abstract event, default action abstract event, bubble abstract event, bubble original event which can be a problem in certain cases). I also personally don't see what is won with depricating events in a spec that are used by other dependant specs. I know that the dependant specs can re-introduce the events again in there spec as not beeing depricated if they really want to, but I think this would be bad from a design point of view. Additionally I personally think we can't affort us of removing those events from the XForms spec, because they are widely used in XForms documents today (DOMActivate even in almost every document).

I have been wondering if and how XForms engines out there implement this
attribute. Do implementations show a scrollbar? Or search engine-style
paging with a navigation bar to navigate between pages? Is that really
the idea behind this attribute?

Right, I should have asked whether including order in grid layout would
change the relationship between steps 1 and 4 in the current algorithm.
And the answer is no, it only affects step 4 by itself.

So since auto-placed items don't respect document order with regard to
manually placed items, you're assuming it will be clear that auto-placed
items won't respect a specified order with regard to manually placed
items. I think that's reasonable but not necessarily obvious.

Is the effect on z-order also split between manual- and auto-placed items?
Or can the interleaving between manual and auto-placed item overlap be
controlled by the order values?

I think I'll do something like:

  - if the content type is text/html and there's no doctype, then
    - if there's an xmlns attribute on the first element,
      do XML well-formedness checking (as it does now for
      any text/html docs without doctypes)
    - if there's no xmlns attribute on the first element,
      assume HTML 4 transitional (and whine about the missing

Sorry, I meant to send mail to this list after making the most
recent changes, but I finished them at 3am after an all-nighter
the night before, and I didn't feel like doing anything besides
sleep at that point. :)

I set up the CVS notifications just now; future commits will
cause a message to sent to this list. I just added this line

I have a test server:

but in this case we wanted the validator to be ready for the
XHTML REC press release last Wed, and I didn't have it ready
earlier so there wasn't much time for feedback. :(

Brigantine Woman Injured in Elevator Accident at Boston’s Fenway Park

Lizzy Scotland/ Facebook

A Brigantine woman, who was celebrating her college graduation, was injured Friday when she fell two stories in an elevator shaft at Boston’s Fenway Park.

Lizzy Scotland, 22, was at the game with her father after graduating earlier in the day from Boston University.

Our thoughts are with her and the Scotland family during this difficult time.

Here is more on Friday night’s accident in a report from the Boston Globe

“State elevator inspectors were at Fenway Park Saturday, trying to determine how a 22-year-old woman fell two stories down an elevator shaft late Friday night.

The victim was with other people when she fell from the fourth floor and landed on top of the elevator car, which was stopped on the second floor, Boston Fire Department spokesman Steve MacDonald said.

Reached by phone Saturday night, relatives of the victim, Lizzy Scotland of Brigantine, N.J., thanked the public for their concern and asked for prayers and privacy while they focus on her recovery. Scotland’s name was first reported by WBZ-TV.

Authorities received a call reporting the fall at 11:17 p.m., after the Red Sox game had ended. The plunge knocked the victim unconscious, McDonald said, and she was not responsive when firefighters arrived to extricate her.

She was taken to Beth Israel Deaconess Medical Center in serious condition. The hospital said Saturday afternoon that it could not give an update on her condition.

“It remains to be seen how she went through the doors on the fourth floor,” MacDonald said. “We don’t know if both doors opened, or one door opened, or if the bottom of the door gave way and she fell through that spot. We’re looking at all the equipment.”

View Full Version : Favorite small stream flies

04-03-2009, 10:28 AM
I am interested in what the Smokies small stream anglers like to use for trout. Here is my list:

Yellow humpy
parachute adams
parachute ant
BH hares ear nymph
BH prince nymph

04-03-2009, 11:26 AM
Yellow Stimis,
Yellow Doc's Cork,
CHC Caddis (a new favorite),
SMBBSH (My skunkbuster),
TroutDude Cripple,
BHPT (although I don't have as much luck as some folks with them [operator error I suppose]),
Tellico Nymph (see BHPT issues...)

But I also use (with regularity):
EHCs (Olives and Yellows)
PAs (Greys and Yellows)
Trudes (Royals, Yellows and Limes)

If I only had one dry fly it would be a Yellow Doc's Cork and if only one wet/nymph it would be the SMBBSH

Some fish do fall for flies as crappy as this.

New Site Coming Soon

Posted on Sunday, September 19th, 2010 under Photography

Hello all,

I realize that this note should have come ages ago, but as you can see, I haven’t updated in well over a year. There are various reasons for this, but the most important is that for some reason I have been unable to update to the current version of Wordpress with this template and it’s a massive pain to upload images.

I have been working on a new design, which will go live soon. In the meantime, please feel free to view my work and/or keep up with me here:

Twitter: @livebabylive or @delineated
Tumblr (my iPhone photo blog)

Please keep an eye on this space in the coming month!

Tick tick tick.. easy steps to being more productive

Boost Your Productivity!

By marketing

Falling into a rut at work? Power through any slump with a few quick productivity boosters.

1. Unsubscribe

How often do you find yourself wasting time sorting through and deleting irrelevant emails? Newsletters, sales, and sometimes even plain spam can make your email cluttered and inefficient. A recent study found that email occupies up to 28% of the average worker’s day. Streamline your email time by unsubscribing from distracting email blasts and newsletters or use a filter to put them under a separate label or folder.

2. Isolate Yourself

Silence your mobile, close your door, and get to work! One of the easiest ways to get more work done is to put yourself on timeout and give yourself some quiet time with your next task. One useful technique is to divide your tasks into two categories. Complete your lighter tasks during open communication periods, but close yourself off from all distractions when undertaking more difficult, time consuming tasks.

3. Time Chunking

Time chunking is a basic method for increasing productivity in any context. Set a timer for a specific chunk of time and direct all your focus towards a single task assigned to that time period. Taking short breaks between your time chunks keeps your mind sharp and rested. Time chunking eliminates the temptation of inefficient multitasking and distractions. This technique can also give you a little psychological boost when working on less enjoyable tasks – just glance at your timer and think, “Only 5 more minutes of data entry then I can take a break!”

Sound interesting? Check out one of the more famous methods, the Pomodoro Technique. This technique involves breaking your work into 25 minute chunks called “Pomodori” (Italian for tomatoes), and taking short 3-5 minute breaks after each chunk. After completing four Pomodori, take a longer 15-30 minute break.

These are three easy tips for streamlining your work in the office. Rise above office distractions and increase your productivity today!

Local 338 is an amalgamated union representing four separate bargaining units: Kaiser Aluminum - production/maintenance and clerical/technical workers, Kaiser Alutek workers, and LB Foster pre-cast/railroad ties division workers. We number more than 1000 private sector members who work primarily in manufacturing industries in North Eastern Washington.

In November we notified our Trentwood members that following the 2014 open enrollment, there would be an audit conducted by ADP to verify dependent eligibility.  After meeting with Management on Thursday December 19, we were told that they would be hand delivering letters to each employee at the plant to explain the process. The audit which must be completed before January 31 has three steps:

  1. Review the letter from Kaiser to confirm that each of your listed dependents is qualified and eligible for coverage.
  2. Obtain documentation for each dependant listed on your letter’s cover sheet.
  3. Upload, fax, or mail the completed cover sheet along with the required documentation, before January 31, 2014.

If you have questions or need help completing the audit you can contact Vicki at the East Gate or stop by the union hall and we can assist you.

By now each of you should have received your 2014 open enrollment instructions for medical coverage in the mail. Open enrollment takes place each year during the month of November. In previous years you were not required to do anything with enrollment if there were no changes in your dependent status.

Due to a recent change, benefit enrollment for next year will be an active process. Active enrollment means you will need to physically enroll each eligible dependent whether they were enrolled in previous years or not. Those who do not actively enroll their dependents will risk losing medical coverage for those dependents in 2014.
Members need to be aware that there will only be a fourteen day enrollment period beginning November 4, extending through November 17.

To complete the enrollment process, follow the instructions you received in the mail from ADP. The letter describes two basic ways to enroll your dependents. The first is to register on line at www.portal.adp.com. The second way is to call the toll free phone number, 1-866-327-2021.

If you have not received your 2014 open enrollment information in the mail by November 4, you will need to contact Vicki Bell as soon as possible at extension 6427.

Securing medical coverage for your family is important. Don’t put off enrolling yourself and your dependents. Failure to do so will result in the loss of medical coverage for your dependents in 2014. If you have questions or need help with enrollment contact one of us here at the union hall or give Vicki Bell a call at extension 6427.

We were notified last month that in late December and early January, ADP will be performing audits to verify that listed dependents are eligible and accurately enrolled in medical benefit coverage. From what I’ve been told, everyone will be audited and each employee will be required to substantiate claimed dependents.

   Well, this is trully a positive feedback.
   I will give it a run, then.
   Please mark another beer against me on your beer-chart, Ovid ;-)

   Maybe if you send me your ideas of new features, I could try and
write the patch... could you please?

IRS: By 2016 Cheapest Family Health Care Policy Will Be $20K

How many times have you heard liberals and progressives say they like Obamacare because it will bring down health care costs? Well, the next time you hear it throw this little fact in their faces – according to the Internal Revenue Service by 2016 the cost of health insurance for a family will be $20,000. And that will be for the cheapest plan available.

In a final regulation issued Wednesday, the Internal Revenue Service (IRS) assumed that under Obamacare the cheapest health insurance plan available in 2016 for a family will cost $20,000 for the year.

Under Obamacare, Americans will be required to buy health insurance or pay a penalty to the IRS.

The IRS’s assumption that the cheapest plan for family will cost $20,000 per year is found in examples the IRS gives to help people understand how to calculate the penalty they will need to pay the government if they do not buy a mandated health plan.

Read the whole thing and weep.

It just keeps getting worse.

RE: Mobius & Live...why

> another DAW.

I don't know about ProTools but Sonar isn't a particularly good host
for looping plugins (or at least wasn't as of versionn 5).  Most DAWs
are designed around the tape deck metaphor where you have to start and
stop the transport and "arm" tracks for recording in order to get
things flowing.  Sonar also had this goofy "audio engine" you had to
turn on and off.

The worst thing about Sonar though is that you couldn't record the
output of an effect plugin into a track in real time.  The thinking is
that effects are always applied at dynamically to a dry signal so you
can change them later.  You can hear the effect as the track is
recording, but what is recorded is the dry signal.  Since Mobius has
to be an effect in Sonar, this means you can't have Sonar record a
Mobius performance.

The nice thing about Live is that was designed for live performance
rather offline editing.  I found it easier to use as a virtual "rack"
where you can combine plugin chains without worrying about recording.

I tried this once but due to the slight quantization of MIDI events
I never got back exactly what I performed the first time.  But it may
be close enough depending on what you want.  This is the way you
would have to work in Sonar because it can only record the dry signal.
