Sounds like they made the button (and probably other UI elements) re-usable with a templating system (PHP). The only real WTF is the escaping, and that's explainable by the mere existence of junior programmers. It's a super quick fix... Just escape it properly.
MaxArt (unregistered)
Any server-side generated JavaScript is pure evil.
Never do that, guys. Never. The only acceptable thing is setting a variable equal to a serialized JSON, to be used by the actual client-side JS view logic. The rest is a huge NOPE.
Got there recently when I had to deal with a server-side generated JS that used to build an entire menu, used to look and feel the same in all the subdomains. It injected not only logic, but also HTML and CSS. It was horrible. Even more so because it gave jQuery for granted, while the new application is based on Angular and jQuery is nowhere to be seen...
jshell (unregistered)
Until you've seen copious amounts of client side javascript code generating more client side javascript code you've not truly seen hell.
scr += "function assignScripts(){\n;"; scr += "var jqscr = document.getElementById("jqueryScript");\njqscr.setAttribute("src","/sysicons/jquery-current.js");\n"; //scr += "alert('load ' + jqscr.getAttribute('src'));\n"; scr += "var sgscr = document.getElementById("sysscript");sgscr.setAttribute("src",MYAWG + "/display/app/sys-remit/js");\n"; scr += "}\n";
What? I'm not giving you my name. (unregistered)
Pretty sure Konstantinos would like to escape this one.

this reminded me of an old book called "hard drive": a programmer who worked on a voice recognition program slipped in several hidden operations that would generate a VIRUS!
markm (unregistered)
What happens when one of those characters is already escaped?
P. Wolff (unregistered)
In a string variable?
Well, the escape character would be escaped, that's all.
Never Roll Your Own Escaping (unregistered)
Could've been solved with a trivially simple
var edit_button = <?php echo json_encode(... fetch logic ...) ?>;
Boom. Valid Javascript data value, no "hope I got this right" manual escaping.
Deez (unregistered)
Why are there unicorns on the site?
Karl Bielefeldt (github)
Am I reading that right, that JavaScript sends arbitrary php code to be executed server side? That doesn't seem like a massive gaping security hole, at all!
Parametamolcil (unregistered)
And then they have to laboriously recapture the escaped characters.
staticsan (unregistered)
Someone needed to read the PHP manual more carefully. It's easy to do all the string escaping in one call to str_replace(). Nesting like that is required in SQL.
Hand-E-Food (unregistered)
When the only tool you have is a melon baller...
n0rwin (unregistered)
It's the other way round. The file is being created on the server using PHP. So they use PHP to create JavaScript. Not that big of a security hole. Just ugly.
binki (unregistered)
And that is why json_encode() exists.
Anon (unregistered)
Rather the opposite. The results of the server-side code are injected into the client-side javascript. This happens on the server before the page is sent to the client.
anon (unregistered)
I worked on a code base like this. It was the worst. Wordpress plugins getting called by javascript, building scripts with php templates that set up globals for other scripts, ajax into php files, ajax into other scripts. It was a nightmare
P. Wolff (unregistered)
If this only were generated JavaScript it would be hardly more than Purgatory.
But the article's headline is misleading - this is generated PHP. Client-side generated PHP.
Ok, I suppose this PHP generating JavaScript was in turn generated by some PHP script.
(Which might have been created by some VBA script, who knows ...)
MaxArt (unregistered)
No, it's "classic" generated JS by a PHP script. The PHP part isn't generated. Double generated code is the mental child of an arch-demon. This isn't so bad...
jkshapiro (nodebb)
No, it's an optical illusion. The PHP is processed on the server, creating strings that are interpolated into the page. It happens that the interpolation occurs within a script, but that's a red herring.
This isn't specific to PHP. The same effect can occur with ASP, JSP, VTL--any server-processed language that lets you insert strings into HTML pages.
cowbert (unregistered)
Even outside of PHP, most server-side templates allow server-side injection into any part of the page, including javascript. See Django (in fact, in order to make your URLs portable you need to invoke {% url reverse_url_name %}, so you could have both or $.get("{% url some_view %}") even.

During 2017 I have been intensively working on publishing music by my late father Alexander Basilov (1946-2007).
Alexander Basilov was a Russian composer and pianist based in Moscow and an influential figure in Moscow's contemporary music scene. He had studied under Alfred Schnittke, Evgeni Golubev and Stanislav Neuhaus. In January 2018 I will publish a website dedicated to him where his music, scores and a selection of his works will be opened to the world. I'm very happy to collaborate with Donemus Publishing House on this very dear and personal project.

This and ThatAugust 31st, 2011 at 03:59 pm
I don't know what has gotten into me but I have been cleaning my house like a mad woman. I got the family room all cleaned and tackled my bedroom last night. They were both in bad shape because I have been so lazy lately. I must be in the hi side of my bi polar disorder. Hope I can keep it up. Tonight I plan on cleaning the dog corner. Pulling out his crate and sweeping under it. I hope I get home in time to do that. I am going to my mom's tonight to make sure she gets dinner ready. She has her chemo treatment today.
I sent the renters a message this morning that I can not cover the power bill this month and that I would need that money by the tenth. They said ok but we will see. I told them that the power would be cut off if I didn't have it. Maybe that will motivate them. They never answered me about paying 1/2 of the rent on the first and fifteenth.
Speaking of renters, I ran in the the wife at the pharmacy with her two girls. She proceeded to tell me that her DD1 has pnuemonia and they didn't know if they should put her in the hospital or not. I hate to be cold but what I heard is that rent will be late because of personal issues. They have really has a string of bad luck but I am out of patience with it. I am tired of their bad luck affecting my finances.
I managed to save a little bit of potential gas money next week. DD has a football game in Jackson County(she is a cheerleader). That is about 2 hours away. But my EX DH lives real close to that school. SO he is going to go so that someone is there should something happen and I don't have to make the drive. I still have to go to Rabun County which is further and East Hall which is a tad bit closer. She also wants to play soccer in the spring, which means more driving. I have always gone to all of DS away games ever since he broke his ankle at a game I wasn't at. So of course I have to go to DD's games too. I would hate for something to happen and no one be there.
Well I guess that is about it for now. Thanks for reading!

Green Party Carbon Tax a mixed message
Green Party Carbon Tax a mixed
Farmers will be confused by the Green Party's decision to abandon the world's most stringent Emissions Trading Scheme in favour of a Carbon Tax.
"There are mixed messages the Green Party are sending the primary industries," says Dr William Rolleston, Federated Farmers Climate Change spokesperson.
"The rhetoric around the ETS maintains the illusion that agriculture is not in the ETS when we most definitely are. From fuel to electricity to the ubiquitous number eight wire, all farming inputs are in the current ETS.
"While it is true biological emissions account for half of our emissions, we mustn't forget that some 90 percent of the food we produce is exported.
"Climate change does not end at New Zealand's borders, yet New Zealand's role as a net exporter of food in a world of increasing food shortage rates barely a mention.
"Penalising our farmers for being the world's most carbon efficient will only reduce production when that production will be picked up by less productive farmers offshore.
"This apparent paradox is a concept the Greens are struggling to grasp – penalising New Zealand farmers will increase global biological emissions.
"While the Green's say sheep and beef biological emissions will be initially excluded that seemingly is a sweetener and one designed to drive a wedge between the farming sectors.
"The reality is that sheep and beef farmers would still pay what they are doing now under the ETS and making them pay later would only be a matter of twiddling the regulatory knobs.
"Given New Zealand farming has been cutting emissions in each unit of agricultural output by 1.3 percent each year and is leading the world in agricultural greenhouse gas research, it seems a strange message to send.
"The differential tax treatment for biological emissions proposed may reflect that the Greens are starting to understand our farming system is world-leading in low carbon protein production. It is a pity they are not yet ready to admit it.
"As it stands, they are telling us that you will be taxed for being successful but given a break if you are less so. That is not a good aspirational message to send.
"Moreover, the reference to the cost of this economy of drought will stick in the craw of farmers who have been stung by Green Party opposition to rainwater storage. That includes the sheep and beef sector who are looking to water storage to reduce climate risk.
"Meeting the
challenge of climate change demands more than a tax or blind
adherence to headline local reduction targets. It demands
policy with global benefits and infrastructure to meet
it," Dr Rolleston concluded.

Veteran filmmaker Subhash Ghai says that veteran music composer Anu Malik is the only composer in the country who can compose a song in merely 40 seconds.
"He is one of the most passionate men I've ever met; a well - deserved composer, not only for this award, but for all his compositions and his body of work. Very few people know how he works. Anu Malik is the only composer in India, who can compose his song in 40 seconds. Have you ever met any such person? I challenge any composer who can compose a song in 40 seconds.
"You tell him to make a song on 'doori', you have just said the word and he will just start with it, because he breathes his music, he thinks in music, he lives with music, that is called the genuine music man, Anu Malik, " said Ghai at an event to felicitate Malik for his contribution to the industry.
The two have worked together in the Hrithik Roshan - Kareena Kapoor starrer "Yaadein", of which the title track is very popular and admired. Ghai thinks the song is among Malik's best five compositions, and was surprised that it wasn't mentioned in the audio - visual of his achievements at the event. He even jokingly termed the video's creator a "duffer" for not knowing real music.
"He (Malik) has given much better songs, 10 times better songs than what you shown in this, he is a man with classical knowledge, he is a man with melodies, he is much deeper than what it looks on screen, " he added.
After ruling the industry in the 1990s and early 2000s with numerous popular albums, Malik witnessed a unimpressive phase in the late 2000s, with comparatively lesser number of films, and which hardly created any impact. But he has in a way bounced back with his music for the film "Dum Laga Ke Haisha", which even fetched him the Zee Cine Award for Best Music.

After working with Zyrex since 1994 and personally applying it to 500 boats we were able to purchase the company. Steve had been one of the first customers to make a purchase at the IBEX show in Fort Lauderdale in 1994.
In the early years Steve was able to assist in resolving some problems with boat bottom coating. In working with the original chemist and a metallurgist they were able to increase the life from 3 to 5 years up to 7 to 10, in addition to making for easier application and a process for touch ups.
The coatings had mainly been sold in Illinois, California, Florida, and Texas. Since acquiring Zyrex we will strive to make it Nationwide. Zyrex has always been available in a few colors; our goals are to expand the color pallet and the ability to manufacture custom colors. We now offer Midnight Black, Pacific Blue, Pacific Blue, Brick Red, Clover Green, Feather Gray, Storm Gray and Bright White.
Currently there are formulations for coatings for boat bottoms, concrete, aluminum and steel at this time. We are currently working with our own chemists to expand our capabilities to plastic. We have experimented on many things ourselves so that we can see possibilities.
We intend on taking Zyrex worldwide. At this time we are looking to secure application centers who will conduct applications correctly.
We have very high hopes for Zyrex due to the endless potential and possibilities.

being such a big investment, I'd like some
The old windows are poor quality --
very drafty and in bad storms water does not
exit the base quickly enough and leaks over
the sill to the floor (with storms down). This is partially due to runoff from the roof (no overhang and the gutters build up quickly from nearby trees) ... but I would think that the quality of window would affect leaking as many homes do not even have storm windows (?).
I am also near a busy road and
would like to insulate against noise if
I am really afraid to spend all this money and would like to hear from non-sales people.
Thanks for any advice from your own experiences.

1. Best of Enemies: Buckley vs Vidal
A good documentary can give you a peek at the way things used to be. A great documentary can show you that some things never change. Best of Enemies is the latter. It tells the stories of the televised debates between conservative William F. Buckley and liberal Gore Vidal, and shit gets INSANE. Actually, you know what? Scratch that. Shit would be insane if didn't feel so commonplace in today's political climate. Best of Enemies should have been the story of a weird blip in the history of journalism. Instead, it feels like you're watching the birth of punditry today.
2. Paris is Burning
If you've ever enjoyed an episode of Rupaul's Drag Race, you should probably set aside some time to be bummed out by Paris is Burning. You wouldn't have one without the other. Documenting the drag scene of the early 90s, the film is both uplifting and depressing as hell. You'll fall in love with the subjects then be instantly heartbroken by the life they were forced to endure. If nothing else, it's worth a watch if only so you can see, once and for all, just how much mainstream society steals from drag culture.
3. My Friend Rockefeller
True crime documentaries are something of a hot commodity these days, but given that we're a comedy website, we can't really discuss too many of them. That's not the case with My Friend Rockefeller. The documentary tells the story of con artist and eventual murderer, Christian Gerhartsreiter. Though ultimately tragic, the story is so incredibly strange that it almost feels funny at points...Almost. My Friend Rockafellar is a true crime story so breezy you almost forget it's a true crime story. In the end, that might just be the scariest thing about it.
4. The Nightmare
Alright, enough with the heavy stuff. Time to move away from murder and on to something lighter like....Crippling nightmares? Goddamnit. The Nightmare features multiple first hand of accounts of sleep paralysis, and if you don't know what that is, consider yourself lucky. Go watch it if you want to understand a terrifying part of a lot of people's everyday life, but be warned: This documentary is scarier than most horror movies.
5. What Happened Miss Simone
You probably have heard the name Nina Simone but if you don't really know what she was all about, you absolutely should. Some people are so badass that they don't deserve to be lost to time and Nina Simone is definitely one of those people. Though there's probably a LOT more to her, this biography provides you with a baseline understanding of one of the greats. If you're a fan of Simone, you'll love this film. If you've never heard of her before, give it 10 minutes and I promise you'll fall in love.

ISIS+: A realistic ATM-UAS simulation environment
AUVSI-ISIS-2013-v2.pdf (11,95Mb) (Restricted access)
Document typeConference report
Date issued2013
Rights accessRestricted access - publisher's policy
Unmanned Aircraft Systems (UAS) are currently being used primarily for military applications, but with the evolution of avionics technology, a huge market in civil applications is emerging. However, most civil applications require UAS to access non-segregated airspace. Current use limitations of non-segregated airspace make it extremely difficult to extensively evaluate operational concepts and mission profiles. Using real flights to test the complete UAS mission infrastructure involves costs and risks. Therefore, simulators must be used prior to real flight campaigns to test and validate UAS components and must take into account all the actors involved in the non-segregated airspace. This paper describes the development of a Software-in-the-Loop simulator called ISIS+ to evaluate the automated operations of UAS in non-segregated airspace and to test new software components of the UAS with other avionics components. The ISIS+ simulator provides a realistic simulation environment in which the UAS software components can be developed under real air traffic scenarios while taking into account all the UAS's peculiarities. The UAS is integrated with eDEP, an air traffic simulation environment, in order to explore the UAS behavior, conflicting traffic and air traffic controllers' requests with the airspace actors. The integration is carried out using ADS-B messages and considers the UAS as an active actor in the networked environment to simulate future SESAR and NextGen scenarios.

Politics Wed, 5 Dec 2018
Former Kumasi Mayor Kojo Bonsu who has expressed interest in the presidential race of the opposition National Democratic Congress (NDC) says, he is awaiting a decision from the Council of Elders of the NDC, to decide on the next stage of his campaign.Kojo Bonsu failed to pick a nomination form within the stipulated time by close of day Tuesday, December 4, 2018, to take his campaign to the next level.
In a press statement, however, he appealed to his supporters to remain calm as "it is not yet over."
"I would like to officially state that my campaign team and I will make a decision after we have heard from the Council of Elders, following the joint petition regarding the flagbearer race that was submitted on Monday 3 December 2018."
"We believe in victory through unity and accountability and will continue to uphold and live by this no matter what comes our way. I would ask all my supporters to remain calm, as it is not yet over," Mr Kojo Bonsu stated.
Five aspirants out of a total 12, John Dramani Mahama, Joshua Alabi, Sylvester Mensah, Stephen Atubiga and Alban S.K. Bagbin were on the only aspirants who picked the nomination forms within the two days stipulated period for that exercise.
Seven other aspirants who had expressed interest in the contest did not show up to pick the form by the 5pm closing time on Tuesday.
They are Ekwow Spio Garbrah, Elipklim Agbemava, Nurudeen Idrissu, Kojo Bonsu, Goosie Tanoh, Kweku Rickets Hagan and David Dotsey Kwami Kuwadah.
Eight of the 12 people aspiring for the flag bearer position of the opposition NDC decided to boycott the picking of nomination forms as the party opened its doors for the picking of nomination forms on Monday and Tuesday.
They have consequently petitioned the National Council of Elders of the party, under the chairmanship of the Founder, former President Jerry John Rawlings, to intervene to prevent irreparable harm to the party.
The decision of the aspirants followed the setting of what they described as 'outrageous' filing fee by the National Executive Committee (NEC) of the party.
In a document titled: "Guidelines for the conduct of the election of a presidential candidate of the NDC pursuant to articles 40 and 42 of the constitution", the General Secretary of the party, Mr Johnson Asiedu Nketia, last Thursday announced that the filing fee for male aspirants had been pegged at GH?400,000, while female aspirants and persons with disabilities (PWDs) would pay GH?200,000 and GH?150,000, respectively."
According to the petitioners, specific issues they had with the guidelines were that the NEC did not meet the procedural requirements set out in Article 42 (1) (f) of the NDC constitution for publishing electoral guidelines.
The NEC, they said, had generally not met standards of stakeholder consultations acceptable in a social democratic party.
They also averred that NEC, in publishing the guidelines, exceeded its authority, to wit, imposed eligibility criteria not provided for in the party's constitution.
"These make the guidelines ultra vires to the NDC party constitution and thus null and void," the petitioners stated.

This look incorporates so many fashion trends – playing with textures, monochrome (kind of), etc. In actual fact I wanted the skirt to be the focus of the outfit so I made everything else the same colour. I'm drawn to free, easy, loose clothing and I feel like this skirt embodies that. There's a lot to be said for feeling like you look good in comfortable clothes.

A hunting and fishing people
Reindeer and elk swimming – all you can see is their heads sticking up above the water. People in boats with fishing lines and large halibut swimming in the depths. Bear hunting in the spring, with the bear being flushed out of its hibernation in a cartoon-like sequence. Tools, animal life, geometric patterns, people. The motifs of the Alta rock carvings provide unique insight into thoughts and everyday life thousands of years ago.
Why were they made?
It is often easy to see what the carvings represent, but difficult to know why the people actually made them. Perhaps they were looking to illustrate myths and stories, or perhaps the carvings played a role in the practice of their religion. It is unlikely that we will ever know the definitive answer – as there is no-one to ask!
Around the whole fjord
The largest concentration of carvings is to be found at Hjemmeluft, due west of the centre of Alta. It is also here that you will find Alta Museum. However, there are carvings to be found in many places. There are a great many at Kåfjordfeltet, for example. It may be that this was a particularly good place to hunt bear and reindeer.
At Transfarelv, there are rock paintings where the red colour has been preserved, and at Langnesholmen, human figures have been carved into a giant rock. Some of the strangest carvings are to be seen at Amtmannsneste, where human figures are represented in almost life size. It is tempting to believe that these are portraits of people who lived here more than 3,000 years ago.
How old are they?
The rock carvings were made over a period of thousands of years. It could be that it was a tradition for the ancient people to gather here on their annual wanderings. When dating ancient relics in Northern Norway, old shorelines are used as the starting point. During the Ice Age 15–20,000 years ago, the land was pressed down by the mass of ice.
When the ice began to melt around 17,000 years ago, the land gradually started to rise again. A Stone Age find high up on the hillside is thus older than one discovered closer to the water, because the people of Northern Norway have always settled as close to the sea as they could. Researchers date the oldest carvings to 5200–4200 BC, and the youngest to 200 BC–200 AD.
Cultural heritage and tourist attraction
Alta Museum is located in Hjemmeluft, neat the biggest concentration of rock carvings. At this site, more than 3,000 figures are to be found on 85 panels. A 2.9 km network of paths and ramps leads to a representative selection of the carvings, and guided tours of the rock carvings are organised in the summer months.
In the winter, the area is covered in snow so it is only possible to see the exhibitions inside the museum. The other carvings around Altafjord have not been marked or highlighted. In 1985, the rock carvings were inscribed on the UNESCO world heritage list. Alta Museum also has exhibitions about research into the Northern Lights, Sami culture and Bjørk Wirkola, a notable resident of Alta.

Treasure standard (2 masterwork scimitars, leather armor, other treasure)
Desert giants rove the stark and majestic sands, rarely dwelling in permanent camps. They roam from oasis to oasis, sleeping beneath the stars or in easily dismantled yurts, breaking camp as whim strikes or when food sources grow scarce.
Desert giants stand 15 feet tall on average, but have slender builds and rarely weigh more than 2,000 pounds, a fact that greatly contributes to their grace and speed. The giants favor loose robes with keffiyehs for protection from the scouring desert winds, as well as traveling leathers worn beneath the robes. They require little water, and are able to survive for as long as 2 weeks on food alone. When such goods are available, they drink water, milk, and juices in prodigious amounts, but they spurn beer, wine, and stronger spirits. The bulk of their diet comes from figs, olives, and similar bounty of the oases, supplemented by meat if required. The eldest desert giants live as long as 300 years.
Despite their nomadic ways, desert giants guard their territory fiercely, driving away all interlopers, whether intelligent or bestial.

In AP's student restaurants you can grab a bite at student-friendly prices every day. A selection from our offer: pasta, fries, salads, vegetarian dishes, delicious desserts and much more. The offer differs from campus to campus. Some campuses are also equipped with vending machines with drinks and snacks.
The following campuses have their own student restaurant:
For students of campus Mutsaard and campus Kronenburg, we have a partnership agreement with external partners. Students from campus Mutsaard can go to the student restaurant of the University of Antwerp (Komida). Students from campus Kronenburg are more than welcome at the company restaurant of the Institute of Tropical Medicine (Karibu).
Are you sometimes moved by a play? Do you get inspired by a fascinating exhibition? Or would you rather be carried away by a contemporary dance performance? What is stopping you? It surely is not your budget: thanks to the culture vouchers you can indulge your cultural cravings without going bankrupt. As a student, you pay ten euros to get seven theme vouchers that give you access to more than 40 culture venues and museums and the library in Antwerp.
Managing your vouchers is easy with one digital platform and your unique code to order tickets. In three moves from your couch in your room to your seat in the theatre. What to do?
Every year, AP invests in modern computer rooms. As a student, you can use these free of charge, so you do not have to buy a computer or laptop yourself. However, there are many students who like to have their own laptop. In some technical bachelor programmes, this is even recommended or mandatory. That is why AP offers laptops at an advantageous price. To this end, we can rely on two specialized companies.
The laptops offered by our partners are up to 45% less expensive than in the store. They were carefully selected by the university college. We go for models that are also used in the corporate world, which means they are very solid. The offer consists of models of the following brands:
Unfortunately, we cannot offer Apple devices at a lower price than the standard student discount.
If you want to buy a laptop, you can contact the following partners of AP University College:
Both partners offer laptops with different technical specifications. The main difference between both providers is the support and warranty. That difference immediately explains the difference in price. Depending on your needs you decide at which company you will buy a laptop.
AcademicShop offers a comprehensive three-year warranty that ensures that - in case of a defect - you will not lose your laptop for weeks and, if it cannot be repaired immediately, you will receive a replacement device with all your data on it.
CampusShop offers two years of 'quick student service warranty'. This means that they surely repair your device within one week.
Student clubs and councils can receive financial or logistic support for catering, sports equipment and non-educational activities of a sports, cultural, social or ecological nature. They inform the Student Facilities Service at least three weeks before the start of the activity, so there is still enough time to place an order with one of AP's suppliers.

Equine Veterinarians will spend their lives learning about, and working with, all types of horses. The realm of veterinarian medicine is highly competitive; but the equine industry is expanding, and specializing in this area should give veterinarians a better chance of finding employment opportunities.
It is reported that most veterinary graduates enter into small animal practices, and only about 6 percent of veterinarians specialize in equine. Furthermore, the American Horse Council estimates that the equine industry has a staggering $102 billion economic impact! There should be no shortage of demand for veterinarians specializing in the care and welfare of the world's domestic and feral equine populations.
What is an Equine Veterinarian
A veterinarian who specializes in working with horses, ponies, donkey's, and other equine species is referred to as an Equine Veterinarian. This type of veterinarian will acquire knowledge and understanding of all things equine, and use their services to provide for the medical needs of these animals from birth to end of life — an average lifespan is 25 years for these species.
Typical medical duties of an equine vet can range from preventative care to surgery. Among other duties, they will perform routine exams, treat illnesses and injuries, collect samples for analysis, and administer inoculations. They may assist in reproduction and birthing, or consult with owners regarding proper feeding and housing. Whether caring for horses who have been abandoned or abused, who are considered beloved pets and teammates, or million dollar business deals, it is an Equine Veterinarian's duty to protect the health and welfare of these animals.
Someone interested in this line of work should be at ease around these large and often unpredictable animals. Good horsemanship, the ability to remain calm, confidence, and the knowledge to handle horses under difficult circumstances, is essential to being successful in this type of career. Other important qualities and skills to possess would be:
- good communication
- customer service
- time management
- good business skills
- a desire to serve
- compassion and concern for both animals and their human counterparts
- good manual dexterity
- the ability to make quick decisions
- a passion for working with these animals
The life of a practicing Equine Veterinarian will most likely require long hours, a five to six day work week and often being on call for emergencies, 24/7.
Educational Track
Educational Requirements for Becoming an Equine Veterinarian
A doctoral or professional degree is the educational requirement for an Equine Veterinarian. Becoming an Equine Veterinarian will require many years of education and a high level of competitiveness regarding both entry into qualified veterinarian schools, and the actual process of becoming employed.
Step-by-Step Educational Path to Becoming an Equine Veterinarian
Acquire a Bachelor's Degree
Undergraduate schools may not offer a specific educational track for pre-veterinarian degrees, but it is important to begin your education with a strong background in math and sciences, such as biology, chemistry, genetics, physics, nutrition, and zoology, as well as completing requirements in English, humanities and the social sciences. It is also wise to gain business-related knowledge.
Apply to an accredited school of Veterinarian Medicine
When applying to a vet program, it is important to make sure that the school is accredited by the American Veterinarian Medical Association (AMVA). Admission requirements can vary by school, so it is important to research ahead of time and be prepared to meet those requirements before applying.
Due to the ratio of applicants to available veterinarian schools, it can be quite difficult to gain access into these programs. In order to put yourself ahead of the pack, it is important to have high test scores, and to have excelled in your previous academics. Applicants will be required to take standardized tests for admission, including, the Veterinarian College Admission Test (VCAT), the Medical College Admission Test (MCAT), or the Graduate Record Examination (GRE). These tests determine eligibility, readiness, and likeliness of admittance. Again, research your specific school of interest for details.
Once accepted, students will spend the next four years working toward a Doctor of Veterinarian Medicine (DVM or VMD). The first two years will focus on classroom-based training in biomedical science courses, while preparing for clinical practice. The second two years are spent gaining hands-on experience in animal care under strict supervision of licensed veterinarians, referred to as a clinical clerkship, and the final year will include clinical rotations, with a focus on equine medicine or other specialties.
Complete a Residency
An Equine Veterinarian may choose to further focus on a number of specialities, including:
- dentistry
- internal medicine
- neurology
- preventative medicine
- heriogenology
- sports medicine
- surgery
These types of specialties require an additional three to four year residency training, approved by the American Veterinarian Medical Association.
In order to gain better employment opportunities and higher pay, along with experience and honing of skills, it is important to complete an internship. The American Association of Equine Practitioners is a great resource for matching students of equine medicine with qualified veterinarians involved in intern programs.
Doctoral Degree
Some individuals may wish to pursue a PhD in veterinarian medicine. While there is not a specific degree program for this, there are some dual-degree programs available, and students can attain their doctor of philosophy degree alongside the doctor of veterinarian medicine degree. This type of degree is for those seeking to explore new developments within the field of veterinarian medicine by doing extensive research, lab studies, and clinical rotations.
Education at this level will include learning about the most up-to-date scientific advances in the field, and completing a publishable dissertation. Upon graduating with a DVM/PhD, an individual can expect to be employable in any area of veterinarian science, and to lead and develop new medicines and treatments in this field.
All veterinarians must be licensed in the state in which they practice. Requirements may vary by state, but all states will require completion of a veterinarian training program, as well as taking the North American Veterinarian Licensing Exam. This exam is offered by the National Board of Veterinarian Medical Examiners.
Equine Veterinarians can become board-certified in certain specialties to show that they have met or exceeded standards of excellence in their chosen niches.
Continuing Education Requirements
As with all medical fields, there are always new developments and treatments, as well as changing laws and guidelines, so it is important to realize that the education requirements for an Equine Veterinarian will require an ongoing commitment, long after the initial education.
Career Path
Understanding the Career Path
Work Environments
Equine Veterinarians may open private practices, or they may find employment as consultants, in teaching environments, industry positions, in animal hospitals, or other institutions, such as race tracks. More opportunities can be found in government agencies at city, county, state, and federal levels, in regulatory medicine, in public health, and even in military service. The working environment can require long hours, which may include being on call 24/7 for emergencies, along with extensive traveling, especially for those servicing farms and rural areas, where many equine veterinarians literally work from a mobile office and perform medical duties under less than desirable circumstances.
Race Tracks
Working at one of the many horse racing tracks in the US, or around the world can be an exciting choice for equine veterinarians. Duties in this environment will include:
- Examination race horses for soundness and fitness, before and after racing
- Take blood, saliva, and urine samples for analysis
- Oversee the general health of race horses that are admitted onto track grounds
- Administer treatment for sickness or injury
- Report exam results to racing officials
- Understand and meet track rules and regulations
- Regularly communicate with horse owners, managers and trainers
Private Practice
The majority of equine veterinarians go into private practice. A 2013 report compiled by the AVMA, reports an average first year income of $47,806 for equine vets in private practice. Typical duties include, preventative, maintenance, and surgical procedures, and will likely involve travel to the animal, often under harsh working conditions, and with tools and medical supplies carried in a vehicle or "mobile office".
Government Agencies
Opportunities for equine veterinarians can also be found in government agencies, such as the USDA, FDA, ONADE (Office of New Animal Drug Evaluation), the military, and even national zoos. Working with one of these agencies could entail evaluating new drugs, administering treatments, caring for military horses, evaluating zebras and other equine species at national zoos, or doing scientific research or teaching. Some veterinarians even work with NASA. There are many opportunities to pursue, in more than 3000 veterinarian positions within the federal government.
According to the Bureau of Labor Statistics, the median wage for all veterinarians, as of May 2014, was $87,590, annually with the low end making $52,530, and the high end enjoying an income of around $158,000. Of course, education, location, experience, and specialty are all factors to consider. The AVMA has reported in a 2009 Biennial Economic Survey of Veterinarians that vets specializing in equine averaged a mean wage of $126,641.
For those who love horses, becoming an Equine Veterinarian can be a promising career choice; but not without hard work, dedication, competitiveness, and sacrifice. Those who have the determination and skills to succeed will be met with many opportunities by specializing in equine medicine.

On the surface, and in many basic applications, OpenGL® colors appear to be very simple to use. There are situations and subtleties in the renderer that can sometimes be overlooked, however, causing unexpected results in a scene. These can be caused by the depth of colors or hardware settings. Other times, simple things such as the shading mode can be overlooked and the results of a rendering will be unexpected. Finally, the more complex mechanisms that operate on OpenGL® colors, such as lighting and materials, can drastically affect how the final output looks.
One thing to be sure of in a program using OpenGL® is that all of the correct variables are set. This means ensuring that the shading mode is set to flat or smooth as needed before rendering. The order of the colors also should be set to the expected value. Although nearly all programs use a red, green and blue (RGB) order, there are image formats and other factors where it could be easier to reverse the order and use a blue, green and red (BGR) model.
One sometimes overlooked, and occasionally difficult, element of OpenGL® colors is color depth. Although a program in development might be created to use the color depth of the development systems monitor, the depth of another user's monitor might not be the same. This means that, if a program is developed with a 24-bit color depth and run on a system with a 16-bit color depth or an indexed color model, then the scene will not properly render and it might appear that the program does not work. Establishing and adjusting for the available color depth can avoid this type of frustration.
Two areas of OpenGL® colors that have a wide range of nuances capable of producing unwanted results are the lighting and materials systems. When using lighting, it is important to account for the way the light will interact with an object and the potential color of a light, if defined. With improper placement and settings, a light source can wash out colors or alter their appearance. Experimentation might be the only way to find the correct balance between preserving the atmosphere of a scene and accurately rendering the colors.
The materials system can completely change OpenGL® colors on the surface of an object. Setting the ambient, diffuse or specular values too high can result in objects that render completely white, while other settings can make objects black or invisible. The settings on the light source for a scene also can complicate the materials system. When using materials, many problems can be avoided by knowing in detail what each attribute does.
Finally, it can be important to understand the alpha channel used in OpenGL® colors. This is a fourth value in addition to the RGB values of a color that determines the transparency of an object. Many programmers get frustrated attempting to set the alpha value to make a translucent object, only to discover much later that the diffuse attribute color is exclusively used to determine the alpha value of an entire object. The drawing order of the objects, regardless of later transformations, also determines how the alpha value works. This means objects that are transparent and then transformed to a position in front of an object drawn later will not show the object behind it because of the rendering order.
One of our editors will review your suggestion and make changes if warranted. Note that depending on the number of suggestions we receive, this can take anywhere from a few hours to a few days. Thank you for helping to improve wiseGEEK!

Foreign State Actors Hack US Nuke Regulator Through Phishing Attacks
A recent investigation has revealed that the United States Nuclear Regulatory Commission (NRC) has been successfully hacked three times in the last three years.
Documents were obtained by Nextgov through an open-record request, showing two of the incidents involved hackers from a foreign government, while the other perpetrator has not yet been identified.
According to the report, all three attacks used phishing scams to trick personnel into clicking malicious links or unknowingly downloading malware.
One of the attacks targeted more than 200 employees, who received phishing emails instructing them to verify their account and login credentials through a malicious link leading to "a cloud-based Google spreadsheet." Consequently, about a dozen NRC employees clicked the link.
The IG Cyber Crime Unit reportedly tracked the person setting up the spreadsheet to a foreign country, which was not disclosed in the report.
Another instance lured employees by using targeted spearphishing emails linking to a "Microsoft Skydrive storage site." A URL housing the malware was embedded in the email that was also tracked to an undisclosed foreign sender.
The last attack was carried out by hacking into an NRC employee's personal email account and sending malware to 16 other personnel in the employee's contact list. The email included a PDF attachment containing a JavaScript security vulnerability that infected one employee that opened the attachment.
NRC spokesman David McIntyre responded by stating the commission makes an increased effort to prevent intrusions into its computer networks by requiring training and reporting from employees, as well as implementing a "strong firewall."
Tripwire security researcher Ken Westin commented, "Even as we see more sophisticated malware being developed, old school methods, such as spearphishing, continue to be a successful attack vector against many organizations, even in highly secure environments where staff should know better."
"The key to combatting these types of attack is continued education and awareness. Some organizations will also block cloud-based services like Google docs, but the employees may still be targeted at home through their personal email accounts and home internet connections."

Best Sealant
Article Contents
Time makes fools of us all and rots all of our belongings. From the boat to the home, sealants keep our engines running, houses standing and electronics humming by simply blocking out the elements. There are numerous kinds of sealants and each of them does a specific job, which means you need to be diligent to avoid using the wrong one and potentially ruining something expensive.
Below you will find lists of the best sealants in each of the major categories chosen for their cost efficiency, working life and tightness of seal among other qualities. Do the research, buy the best and seal the deal.
Best All-Purpose Sealant:
Sealants are used for many different things, from auto repair to home improvement. But in pretty much all cases, the idea behind using a sealant is to prevent water or other liquids from getting into or out of something. That purpose gives them all common ground and gives us a chance to use them at least somewhat interchangeably.
To call any sealant "all-purpose" is somewhat of a misnomer. While quality sealants can be used for a variety of tasks, they won't perform equally well in all cases. Some tasks require special characteristics of the sealant, which most sealants can't accomplish. That's why we have special sealants for high temperature and for sealing automotive engines.
But there are still a lot of uses for sealants, even though it's not the stated purpose of that sealant. When sealing a structure to protect it from rainwater entering in (one of the most common uses of sealants), it doesn't matter if the structure is a car, a building, an airplane, a bridge or a boat. Nor does it matter a whole lot if the structure is made of steel, copper, aluminum, wood or concrete. In all these cases, the basic needs of the sealant are the same.
So, what are those basic needs?
Adhesion - To start with, any sealant has to be able to stick well to the surface it's being applied to. This can vary from sealant to sealant, especially with those which have been designed to stick to specific substrates. Sometimes that makes them a poor choice when used with other substrates.v
Durability - How long will the sealant last when used in accordance with the manufacturer's instructions? This is one of the most common means of stating the life of a sealant, especially those used in architectural applications. Remember, not all materials will last the same amount of time.
Flexibility - The cured sealant usually needs to be flexible in order to withstand changes in the substrates it's sealing. Sealants are often used in cases where it is necessary for the substrates to be able to expand and contract with the temperature while still maintaining a weatherproof surface. One of the most telling specifications for flexibility is its ability to elongate without breaking; in fact, some sealants can stretch up to 500 percent of their cured size.
Water Resistance - Since water is the main purpose of sealing any surface, it's important to know how well it resists water or steam. Believe it or not, there are some specialty sealants not intended for sealing against water, so this is something to check on. Silicone-based sealants are the best for water resistance.
Additionally, the sealant may need to have these characteristics in certain applications:
Chemical Resistance - Sealants that are used in automotive engines need to be able to withstand the attack of many automotive chemicals, especially gasoline and motor oil. This could also be true in some pieces of equipment used in heavy industry.
High Temperature Resistance - Some repair applications require the ability to withstand temperatures in excess of 500 degrees. This is common when we're talking about engine exhausts, barbecue grilles and furnaces. Special sealants need to be used in these applications.
Gap Filling - Most places requiring sealing have at least some gap between the two pieces of substrate. However, there are applications where this gap is large. In those cases, the sealant needs to have high enough solids content to form a gasket, rather than just seal the surfaces together.
Paint Adhesion - Not all sealants are compatible with paint. For some applications (like an automotive engine) this doesn't matter but for others like the exterior of a home or a car body, this is imperative. Although silicone is one of the best sealant materials around, paint won't stick to it. To make paintable silicone, the silicone needs to be mixed with other materials that the paint will stick to.

Best Silicone Sealant:
Silicone sealants are generally considered to be the best around since they are highly water resistant and don't age like some other materials used in sealants. It's not uncommon for silicone to last 25 or 30 years without showing any signs of age other than being a little dirty.
The great thing about this is that it makes sealing a "do it and forget it" type of job. If other sealants are used, such as standard acrylic latex painters caulk, you can count on needing to reseal every time you paint. Personally, I'd rather do it once and not have to worry about it, even if it does cost me more money to do it that once.
One of the rubs with silicone sealants, they are more expensive than other sealants. However, over the life of the product, they are actually cheaper, due to their longevity. Basically, the trick is look at the cost as it is spread over the life of the product.
The other rub with silicone sealants is that they're not paintable. Silicone, like Teflon, is a non-stick surface which just about nothing will adhere to. So, if you want a paintable sealant, you need to use a silicone mix. While these are still good and have a much longer life than standard sealants, they don't have as long a life as silicone does.
Silicone sealants have extremely good adhesion to all types of substrates, as long as the surface is clean and oil-free. The cured sealant is highly flexible with the ability to stretch over 400 percent of its original size. Between these two characteristics, there is little chance of a silicone sealant failing.
Although silicone is naturally water-resistant and highly resistant to many chemicals, you should not assume it's automatically resistant to all chemicals. Some types of chemicals, especially automotive chemicals, have solvents in them which would cause damage to silicone sealants with continued exposure. However, for short-term exposure there is little risk of failure.
In cases where consistent exposure to chemicals is expected, specialty silicone sealants should be used and likewise for high temperature applications. While normal silicone sealant is good up to 400 or 450 degrees, special formulations should be used for temperatures higher than that.
Silicone sealants come in squeeze tubes or cartridges for use with a caulking gun. Care should be taken when applying as it can be difficult to impossible to remove the sealants from surfaces which have been covered by accident.

Best Hi Temp Sealant:
While sealants all perform the same purpose, not all are created equal. Some applications require special sealants and if ordinary options are used in those cases, they will not last; such is the case of high temperature applications.
Most sealants are not designed for use in high temperature applications because most will never see a situation where they are subject to temperatures over 200oF. However, that means when these situations are encountered, using standard sealants only guarantees their failure. One must seek out sealants which are formulated to withstand those high temperatures without failing.
More than anything, high temperature sealants are used in automotive applications. Gasoline ignites at 260oC or 500oF. However, parts of the flame can reach over 2000oF. This is why a car's engine needs a cooling system to suck off the heat and dissipate it into the air.
While a typical car's engine is not exposed to temperatures in excess of 195oF, the exhaust is regularly exposed to temperatures much higher than that. Therefore, any sealant used on the exhaust, including connecting the exhaust to the engine, must be a high temperature sealant. Otherwise, it will burn up after a while.
Typically, there is no sealant used for the exhaust manifold gasket, or the exhaust manifold to exhaust pipe gaskets, so this isn't much of an issue. However, there are times when an exhaust manifold might be warped or damaged and a sealant is required. You might also need a high temperature sealant for a temporary repair to an exhaust pipe, catalytic converter or muffler. Once again, this can't be done without a high temperature sealant.
There are a few other applications which require high temperature sealants, either in their normal use or in the process of performing repairs. Repairing a damaged barbecue grille or wood-burning stove would necessitate use of high temperature sealants, as would sealing a piece of glass into a smoker you're building. Charcoal burns at 2,700oF, creating an amazing amount of heat. A problem with a gas-burning furnace can often be handled with a high temperature sealant, eliminating the need to buy high dollar, hard to find parts.
Pretty much all high temperature sealants are made of silicone, so they can't be painted. They often have fillers added, in order to assist in withstanding the high temperatures. Some are actually made so as to be food safe, which is what you want to use for repairing that barbecue grille. Others are designed for superior bonding, allowing the sealant to be an adhesive as well.

Best Auto Sealant:
Cars and trucks have a lot of sealants in them; sealants for the engine, sealants for the floor, sealants for the windows and sealants for the doors. There really is no one sealant that's used throughout a car. I remember when I was engineering in the bus plant and we measured the sealant we used in the buses by the pounds.
Each application requires a sealant that works for that particular need. But overall, there are three major qualifications for automotive sealants; the ability to withstand heat, automotive chemicals and vibration; if it can accomplish all three, it's pretty good.
Typically, you'll find sealants that can withstand two out of the three qualifications mentioned above. That's not a problem if the sealant is used in an area where it doesn't need to deal with the third one. For example, a sealant that can't handle automotive chemicals, but can handle vibration and heat can be used anywhere but in the engine. One that can handle the chemicals but isn't good with vibration can still work in the engine, but not for the body.
Silicone is one of the best materials for use in sealants, because of its ability to withstand all three of those issues. The problem with silicone is that nothing sticks to it so it can't be used in areas where the vehicle has to be painted, regardless of the type of paint being applied. The solution to this problem is to make a sealant that combines silicone with other materials which paint can bond to.
Sealants used in the engine compartment need to be able to withstand oil and anti-freeze, both of which are rather harsh on sealants but fortunately silicone is good at this, as well as a few other materials. It's not uncommon for the seals and gaskets in an engine to dry out, especially if it's not used much. In these cases, applying a sealant may be a means of stopping the leak without having to take the engine apart. However, the right way is to take the engine apart.
If the engine is taken apart, then there are automotive sealants which will act as gasket makers, replacing the original gaskets. This is especially useful for older vehicles, where the original gaskets may no longer be available. Silicone gasket sealer actually makes a better gasket than the original in many of these cases.
I've selected some of the finest automotive sealants here, giving you a good selection to choose from, for a variety of automotive applications.

Best Marine Sealant:
Marine applications are a special challenge for sealants, as they're often immersed in or surrounded by water. Even in cases where the sealant is not immersed, it's constantly being splashed by water, so the sealant needs to be especially resistant.
In many cases, different sealants are used for applications above the waterline than those used for applications below the waterline. Sealants which contain water-absorbing materials, such as talc, can fail if left submerged for too long. Older silicone sealants had this problem as well, but modern ones can be immersed without problem.
The problem usually isn't the ability of the sealant itself being able to withstand the water, but the sealant to substrate bond being able to withstand it. That's the weakest point in any place where sealants are used. To combat this, marine sealants need to feature especially strong adhesion with the ability to flow into irregularities in the surface of the substrate.
In most cases, marine sealants are not painted, so it's possible to use silicone for the sealant. Silicone has excellent adhesion and water resistance, but paints cannot bond to it. However, this means that the sealant needs to be applied carefully so as to avoid a messy seam which will never go away.
The two main issues with these sealants are flexibility and strength. Marine hulls are flexible so as to withstand the strain of constant pounding they receive in the water. The sealants used for them must be flexible as well in order to maintain contact with the hull as it moves. But some sealant applications are more than just sealing as they are functioning as adhesives as well. In those cases, strength is extremely important since flexing won't help if the sealant itself tears under the strain.
Finally, the sealant used must be compatible with the substrate. Chemicals used in the manufacture of some sealants can act as solvents for some of the materials used in boat manufacture. If the wrong combination is used, it can end up weakening the hull, rather than strengthening it.

Best Foam Sealant:
Foam sealants are purely an architectural sealant, used for sealing the exterior of buildings. They are unique in this category, both in the way that they work and their purpose. Unlike other sealants, these are porous and expand once sprayed in place so that they can fill cracks and holes in the exterior walls of homes. As such, they are predominantly used as gap filling sealants, rather than to seal two adjacent or overlapping surfaces together.
More than simply providing a waterproof seal, these sealants provide an insulating seal. Yes, they are waterproof, but not in the same sense that silicone sealant is. Left to soak in water, these sealants probably wouldn't fare all that well. But to have water hit them (such as rain falling on the side of a house) they can more than withstand that.
To use these sealants, a short tube is attached to the nozzle which is inserted into the crack to be sealed, allowing the foam sealant to be applied directly where needed. The foam starts expanding even before leaving the hose and fills the gaps it is squirted into.
The expanding action of the foam comes about because of a chemical reaction in the foam itself when it mixes and hits air. Air bubbles form in the sealant which is what causes it to expand. Those air bubbles are what gives it the ability to work as insulation as well, as any good insulation needs thousands of small air pockets in it.
Once expanded, the sealant hardens and fills the crack or opening with rigid plastic foam, similar to Styrofoam. This can be shaped by cutting and sanding to make the foam sealant conform to the surrounding surfaces. However, cutting leaves a porous surface exposed rather than a smooth one. Therefore, once cut, the surface should be painted to retain a waterproof surface.
This type of sealant has a very high adhesion, especially when working with uneven surfaces. The expansion of the foam causes it to conform very well to those surface irregularities. Once hardened, it puts constant pressure on those surfaces, locking the sealant in place. The sealant itself is more likely to break, than it is to break contact with the surface.
Old sealant can be removed for replacement or remodeling, but it won't clean off the surfaces well. Rather, the sealant itself is cut, leaving a rough film on the surface. This residue can be sanded smooth, essentially returning the substrate surface to a like-new condition.
The one drawback to this type of sealant is that the container is rarely reusable. Once the sealant has been opened and sprayed, it's necessary to use the whole container. If the sealant isn't used all at once, it probably won't come out the second time someone tries to use it since sealant stuck in the nozzle and tube cannot be removed like caulking in a nozzle can. Even if it were removed from the outer part of the nozzle and tube, the mixing chamber in the nozzle is not accessible for cleaning.

It's been since Easter that I have posted on here, because my daughter in law, Joanna, was staying with us and we had such a lovely time, I didn't take time to write on my blog. =)
We had a baby shower for her the Saturday before Easter and it was really fun. So many friends came out to give her gifts and support. I love the people of this valley!
Easter Sunday both my sweet daughters in law came to Church with us, and then helped me with my first week teaching my 6-7 year old Primary class, so we had 3 'Sister Qualheims' in there! It was wonderful.
They were just so much help to me, especially Joanna this past week, when we had a nose bleed in class and she bravely went out to find the little girl's mom or dad, not even knowing her way around our meeting house! Thank you Joanna! She also took a photo of my CTR7a class and I, so we can put it in a Book of Mormon, along with their testimonies about how much they love Jesus and Primary, to send to my son Elder Qualheim, out in South Dakota. He should be leaving the MTC and arriving there today!
We took Joanna to the airport yesterday before going to the Temple and it was hard to say good bye. Woke up this morning, and half expected to see her sitting in my living room, waiting for family scripture study and breakfast and...
I heard from my son that she got home safely so that's really good.
Joye H, my daughter Katie, and I got our Humanitarian booth all set up at the Clark County Fair, here in Logandale, in the Fine Arts building, so if you go to the fair, please stop in and say hello. I will be there every day except Sunday of course. I'd love to meet you.
I took a few photos of how it looks right now, although I will be adding a couple more things when we come for the actual fair.
All these things will be donated to LDS Humanitarian, except the preemie items which will go to UMC hospital in Vegas.
LDS Humanitarian is always in need of newborn booties, so I wanted to post this pattern for all you knitters, as it's one that is easy to make, easy to memorize, and so cute. Plus it's a bit hidden on my website:
Bev's Easy to knit Newborn Booties - Copyright Beverly A. Qualheim 2008
Size 4 Knitting needles and 1 oz. baby weight or sport yarn Cast on 34 sts.
* Work in garter stitch (knit all) for 14 rows (7 ridges).
* Knit 2 stitches together, twice, at start of next 2 rows.
* Bind off 3 stitches at start of the next 2 rows. (24 sts left)
* Now - Knit 2, purl 2 in a ribbing for 18 rows or desired height.
Bind off stitches to remove from needles. Fold bootie in half and sew up seams to close.
My girls and I are American Idol fans and especially we love David Archuleta this year. This was his song yesterday, Dolly Parton's 'Smokey Mountain Memories'. What a beautiful song, and he performed it with deep feeling. I hope you keep singing forever David...
Remember to watch GENERAL CONFERENCE this weekend, and most of all HUG THE ONES YOU LOVE!

Photo Slide Lamp-with light off
I used a travel theme!
What you need:
-Wire Lampshade Frame, ... this one is a custom UNO Fitter,
Ring Diameter=9 inch, Fitter Drop 6 inch
From: ReplacementLampShades.com
*If I were to make another, I would order the Fitter Drop to be 8 or 9 inch instead of 6 inch. That would make the bulb sit more in the middle of the shade.
-80 to 100 (Square Outer Edge) Photo Slides,
This shade is made with slides held in Landscape direction.
There is 14 slides in a row and 6 rows
-10mm Jump Rings, same metal color as the fitter frame.
This shade used 504 jump rings.
-Hole Punch, 1/16 inch
-Pliers, to open & close jump rings
-Clothes pins, to hold slide rows
-Modern Candle Stick Lamp, 20 inch tall. This one came from Walmart, $25.00
It was great finding vintage family slides in carousel trays!
The light bulb holds the UNO Fitter frame in place.
An old slide viewer made it easier to construct each row.
Use an undesirable slide and create an even template. Mark each slide and punch holes. 2 holes per corner creates a smooth shade and makes a nice design when lit.
Create long rows then attach rows together. Clothes pins help to hold rows in place while threading the jump rings.
When all the rows are finished, Fold so short edges are together, then attach jump rings to form a barrel shape
Put the barrel of slides over the Fitter Frame to form the Shade. Have a helper hold the top edge to the frame and attach jump rings by frame legs 1st. Continue filling in all the holes in between to secure.
Use a low watt bulb
Great for a Dorm Room! My son Loves it!!!
