If you follow me on instagram, you might have seen some of my photos from our stay in the Hudson Valley. We rented this entire house for less than what a tiny hotel room costs around here, and it was on a beautiful, snow-covered property complete with an icy pond and deer tracks abound. I didn't spot any deer until our last day, but I got pretty excited every time I saw their little prints. We went antiquing, played with little Miku in the snow (she was born for it), and explored the general area. If you're ever looking for a nice little getaway outside of the city, I highly suggest checking it out. It ended up being exactly what we needed. I have a lot more pictures to share from our trip, including sooo many of tiny Miku having the time of her life. Turns out, we all needed a little bit of nature in our lives.

Railers face an unfamiliar foe
By Jeff Benjamin
Send a link to a friend
[February 11, 2013]
Fresh off their conference win
over Rochester on Friday night, the Railers entered Roy S. Anderson
Gymnasium on Saturday against an unfamiliar foe in Glenbrook South.
The Titans may have done their homework regarding the Lincoln
offense, forcing the Railer scoring system to struggle for much of
the first half. As far as the defense, the Titans failed that test
as the Lincoln defense again forced an opponent to look less than
stellar in their 54-28 victory.
Railers were able to stay in the game early on thanks to Will
The senior provided the only offense Lincoln was able to muster
through much of the first quarter, but his eight points gave the
Railers an 8-7 advantage, taking the lead after Podbelsek converted
a steal into a layup. A Gavin Block 3-pointer was the only other
scoring for Lincoln as they took an 11-7 lead into the second
Just like the night before, the Railer defense was near the top
of its game, forcing turnovers. Unfortunately, the shooting from the
contest against Rochester did not linger into Saturday.
Opportunities created by the pressure were not turned into points.
Halfway through the second quarter, Lincoln (23-4) held only a slim
12-10 lead. You didn't necessarily feel like Lincoln was in danger
of losing, but there was some uneasiness as to if, and or when,
something would get the team out of its malaise.
Enter Joey Olden.
The junior, who missed much of the season with a broken arm
suffered in the third game of the season, forced a steal and made a
layup at the 3:50 mark to spark a 12-2 run to end the first half.
The run included two 3-pointers in a row from Edward Bowlby, and
when the defense ran out to check Bowlby, who was setting up for a
third 3, the Titan defense forgot all about Tyler Horchem, who
slipped a screen and scored on a shot in the lane. His field goal
would be the last two-point shot the Railers would make until late
in the game. But don't worry; that's not a bad thing at all.
The home squad would continue the momentum, outscoring Glenbrook
20-3 in the third quarter to stretch their run since Olden's steal
to 32-5. All of Lincoln's points in the third came from either the
free-throw line or behind the 3-point line. The long-range
marksmanship came from Block, Bowlby and a pair from Max Cook.
Fittingly, the period ended on a 3 at (actually after, but who's
counting) the buzzer from an unlikely source in Austin Krusz, the
first of his career from 3-point range.
But it seems all of this can be directed back to the lift created
by Olden in the second quarter. What did Alexander think of Olden's
hard-nosed play? Wait, maybe I shouldn't have said nose.
"Well, we're always telling him to stick his nose in there, and
how does he get rewarded?" Alexander said. "He's come out with a
broken nose." My broadcast partner, Josh Komnick, questioningly
verified with Alexander about his report. "I wouldn't kid you,"
Alexander stated.
First it was the broken arm and now looks like a broken nose.
Something tells me he is the type of player who will not let this
affect him, especially on the defensive end, where he has become a
weapon as effective as some of the long-range bombers on the
offensive end.
The fourth quarter was reminiscent of Friday night's game, when a
number of the reserves were able to get in well after the game's
outcome had been decided. The Railers got scoring from the line by
Olden, Krusz and Adam Conrady. Baskets from Payton Ebelherr and Will
Cook rounded out the Lincoln scoring.
[to top of second column]
It was a dominating weekend for the Railers, who gave up only 59
points over the two games. For a team that is challenging the
school's all-time defensive average, allowing less than 30 points a
contest is not going to hurt in their journey.
We've gotten used to the defensive efforts by the Railers as well
as balanced scoring, and the contest against Glenbrook South was no
different. Block was the only Railer to reach double figures,
leading the team with 10 points, with Bowlby scoring nine and Max
Cook and Podbelsek adding eight each. Olden's efforts were also seen
on the offensive end with seven points. Krusz scored four and
Horchem put in three. Will Cook and Ebelherr each had two, with a
lone free throw coming from Conrady.
The 23-4 record is certainly nothing to sneeze at, but it's
important to also give credit to coach Gregg Alexander's sophomore
squad. The younger Railers improved to 20-1 with a 55-30 win as Will
Cook paced the team with 16 points.
So, only three regular-season games to go. It will be another
two-game weekend at home, starting with Friday night's matchup with
SHG. The Cyclones were the last team to defeat the Railers, a 44-41
loss in Springfield. If the Railers have any hopes of staying in
contention for at least a share of the CS8 crown, a win over SHG is
an absolute necessity. One would have to believe the atmosphere will
be quite intense, and a good turnout from the Railer Nation would be
"The guys have worked hard and they deserve it," coach Alexander
said in response to the fans turning out to provide support for a
team that could turn out to have a special season.
Both Lincoln and Southeast are tied for the CS8 lead, with each
having two games left. Lincoln hosts SHG and then travels to
Lanphier to end the regular season, while Southeast travels to
Rochester and finishes their campaign at Glenwood.
The sophomores will tip against SHG at 6 p.m. with the varsity
scheduled for 7:30.
Block 2 4-4 10, Bowlby 3 0-0 9, Podbelsek 3 1-1 8, MCook 3 0-0 8,
Olden 1 5-6 7, Krusz 1 1-2 4, Horchem 1 1-2 3, WCook 1 0-0 2,

During a kidney biopsy — also called renal biopsy — your doctor removes a small piece of kidney tissue to examine under a microscope for signs of damage or disease.
Your doctor may recommend a kidney biopsy to diagnose a suspected kidney problem, determine the severity of kidney disease or monitor treatment for kidney disease. You also may need a kidney biopsy if you've had a kidney transplant that's not working properly.
Most often, a doctor performs a kidney biopsy by inserting a thin needle through the skin — a procedure known as percutaneous kidney biopsy. An imaging device helps the doctor guide the needle into the kidney to remove tissue.

Clustering storage
Clustered servers have become a mainstay of the data center, and now clustering is quickly becoming the preferred technology for making storage more scalable, reliable and easier to manage.
|Traditional vs. clustered NAS storage
Storage systems typically become siloed as more capacity is required. Multiple connections are required to allow hosts to access all installed storage. In a clustered storage system, the storage controllers communicate with each other internally and present a single file system to the hosts. Multiplatform hosts can connect to the cluster through a single connection to a switch which, in turn, is attached to the cluster.
Clustering has improved the reliability, availability and manageability of data center servers while allowing bundles of inexpensive configurations like blades to replace costly, monolithic servers. The benefits of server clustering haven't escaped the notice of the storage industry, but clustering storage involves challenges other than just tying servers together. Vendors have taken diverse paths to address those challenges, but they fall into two main categories: clustered file systems and standalone hardware with a clustered architecture.
"With traditional midrange storage systems, you can quickly run out of hardware resources," says Tony Asaro, senior analyst at the Enterprise Strategy Group (ESG), Milford, MA. When more capacity or horsepower is needed, traditional systems offer few alternatives other than installing another storage device with all of its associated costs.
Implementing a clustered storage system doesn't require clustered servers. While the technologies are quite similar, they aren't interdependent.
Defining terms
The growing popularity of clustered storage has also spawned the usual industry buzzword mania. Storage vendors of all stripes are touting their hardware and software products as clustering technologies--products that may be implemented at nearly any point in a storage environment. While spiels tend toward hyperbole, most of these products are clustering applications, although many are point, rather than total, solutions.
Vendors have turned toward clustering technologies to address the four big issues facing most storage managers. These design goals aren't the exclusive province of clustering--nearly all storage systems strive for these--but they're the fundamental goals of clustered systems:
- Capacity scaling. Additional storage capacity should be easy to add in a non-disruptive manner.
- Performance scaling. As capacity is added and the number of supported hosts grows, performance should scale sufficiently to maintain an acceptable service level.
- Availability. Redundant components and transparent failover should ensure data is always available.
- Manageability. Scaling, failover and capacity management should be as automated as possible.
These goals may be achieved in a variety of ways, but there are some basic precepts of clustered storage. For example, clustered systems pool their storage and present it as a single image to hosts as a global file system that's often referred to as "a single drive letter." This makes better use of available capacity while easing storage management. It also enhances the ability of hosts to share data while avoiding multiple instances of the same files (see Traditional vs. clustered NAS storage, this page).
Cluster concepts
The simplest form of clustering involves two controller units paired so that one would provide failover for the other. In a two-way, active-passive paired configuration, one controller is essentially on standby. Because this scheme doesn't provide for scaling and the passive unit isn't sharing the primary's load, this is often referred to as "pseudo clustering." An active-active controller arrangement is a step up from pseudo clustering, where the two controllers provide failover for each other and share the work.
In a non-distributed, active-active cluster, cluster members share a file system and some other physical resources, but provisioning and LUN assignment for specific controllers are mostly manual chores. The distributed peer cluster is the most common architecture employed by vendors that have designed and built their clustered storage systems from the ground up. In a distributed cluster, physical resources are virtualized, so a storage administrator only needs to deal with how storage is associated with installed servers and the applications they host.
|Software vs. hardware clustering
Single file system
There are products that provide global file system capabilities for aggregated storage systems like IBM Corp.'s SAN File System (SAN FS). These applications typically run on an appliance or an intelligent switch with client software on supported hosts to deliver one of clustering's key requisites, the global file system.
SAN FS and similar products take a two-pronged approach: They virtualize the storage they sit in front of into a single file system and interface with the hosts' OSes to present that file system as if it were native to the hosts. In this manner, these systems improve capacity management by providing policy-based data migration across all connected storage. That enables more effective storage tiering, a basic step toward an information lifecycle management implementation. SAN FS works with a variety of Windows, Linux and Unix hosts, but requires an IBM storage system for its meta data store. It supports numerous back-end storage systems and can be used in conjunction with IBM's SAN Volume Controller (SVC) to support a range of storage arrays.
Examples of other clustered file system products include Ibrix Inc.'s Fusion, PolyServe Inc.'s Matrix Cluster, Red Hat Inc.'s Global File System (formerly Sistina GFS), SGI's InfiniteStorage Shared Filesystem CXFS and Veritas Software Corp.'s Cluster File System. These are all host-based apps that cluster servers and provide a single image of the storage available attached on SANs.
Clustered file systems are attractive because they can work with installed storage. On the other hand, hardware clustering systems require the purchase of new storage (see Software vs. hardware clustering, this page).
But virtualization and a global file system don't necessarily add up to a fully clustered storage system. Randy Kerns, a senior partner at Evaluator Group Inc., Greenwood Village, CO, describes SAN FS as "a meta data server approach to storage virtualization." It provides a key element, but it's only part of the clustering picture. "It's one way to provide a global namespace," notes Kerns, "but a global namespace and clustered storage are not necessarily connected."
Beyond the file system
A fully clustered storage system goes beyond what the servers and applications see; it provides the underpinnings and infrastructure of the storage system itself. Among available products, the best examples are those that have been built from the ground up to deliver clustered storage. These hardware-based systems address the scalability of physical resources, not just that of the file system. According to Kerns, these systems have an advantage over some of the software-only approaches to clustering. "You're going to put on another layer of software and yet you're still probably going to manage those devices independently," says Kerns.
Some examples of purpose-built clustered storage systems include EqualLogic Inc.'s PS Series, Isilon Systems Inc.'s IQ series arrays, LeftHand Networks Inc.'s SAN/iQ IP SAN and Xiotech Corp.'s Magnitude 3D (see Clustered storage system sampler).
While most midrange storage systems offer a modular approach to growing capacity, clustered systems take the concept a step further. Typically, in a non-clustered midrange array, a module (or expansion unit) is added to increase disk capacity; in some cases, another controller can be added to increase the horsepower of the array. For the most part, these modular midrange arrays can scale capacity, but not performance. "If you're just adding disk, but aren't doing anything about performance," says Kerns, "obviously you'll see some degradation."
In a clustered storage architecture, modules are typically packages that include not only additional disks, but a controller assembly with its own set of interfaces. Building out a clustered array also increases performance and connectivity. Because a full complement of processors, memory, ports and so forth is added with each set of new disks, the performance of a clustered storage system will often scale linearly as it expands. This is in stark contrast to non-clustered modular systems where performance is likely to suffer as disk expansion units are added.
When a module is added to the cluster, the other members of the cluster automatically recognize the new module. The cluster then reorganizes itself to accommodate the added capacity by re-striping data across all disks, sharing data management policies and balancing the workload among all members. Usually, cluster modules interconnect with each other using a Fibre Channel (FC) or Gigabit Ethernet (GbE) interface, although Isilon recently announced it will offer clustered storage systems that use InfiniBand connections, which are approximately 10 times faster than GbE.
Servers connected to the clustered array are unaffected. Typically, there's no need for client software on the host servers, and they can continue to access storage from the pool even as new capacity is added. Within the storage cluster, the specific controller that a host connects to is almost irrelevant, as cluster modules can hand off responsibility for those interfaces to one another to adjust to failures or varying loads and bandwidth requirements.
For cluster modules to interact effectively, their operating systems must be in constant communication. If a unit fails--or shows signs of an impending failure--its processing workload is picked up by other cluster modules and data is transferred from its disks to others, if necessary. This arrangement provides effective failover to ensure availability and, as more modules are added, data protection and availability increases as well.
Most importantly, as modules are added to accommodate new requirements, administration remains constant. Even as the cluster grows, "I can administer it as a single system and don't have to change anything," says Kerns. "I don't have to administer another box."
Sports Illustrated in New York City opted for clustered storage to support its onsite digital photography operations. Phil Jache, deputy director of technology for the magazine, says their three Isilon IQ arrays have been air-shipped to the Olympics, Super Bowl and other major events. The Isilon systems cut two or three hours from the magazine's photo processing time. "It enabled us to do some things that just weren't possible [before]," says Jache.
AccessIT installed a Xiotech Magnitude 3D clustered storage system at its Managed Services Division in New York City and another at its Media Services headquarters in Los Angeles. Erik Levitt, president and COO of the Managed Services Division, says AccessIT installed one of the Xiotech boxes to support its IT services business, which supports clients in 35 countries from 10 data centers. The Los Angeles-based Xiotech system is used primarily for the distribution of digital films, such as I, Robot and Shark Tale, to nearly 30 movie theaters equipped with digital projection systems.
The Xiotech cluster in New York replaced a traditional monolithic SAN. Levitt says the price of the Magnitudes was a major selling point. "We're adding about 5TB at a clip, so scalability is extremely important to us," says Levitt.
|Clustered storage essentials
Basic foundation
Clustered storage systems owe their intelligence to the sophisticated software that controls operations. The underlying hardware is generally unremarkable--off-the-shelf parts such as Intel's Xeon processors and other standard components used in ordinary servers and server blades. In many cases, the cluster OS is built on top of a Linux kernel. This adds up to a low-cost architecture that provides the necessary economies for modularity.
Vendors of clustered storage hardware systems have managed to hide the inherent complexities and advanced features so effectively that most users first cite ease of use when describing what impresses them most about the clustered systems they've implemented. Users report that scaling with additional modules is as close to plug and play as storage gets. With no client software to install on hosts and streamlined, Web-based user interfaces that reduce many configuration and admin chores to point-and-click operations, implementation seemingly couldn't be easier.
"Most of the clustered storage systems ESG has analyzed are extremely easy to work with," says the firm's Asaro. Sports Illustrated's Jache concurs: "Honestly, the setup is 30 minutes," he says. "It's drop-dead easy."
Ron Godine, manager of IT operations at Glenwillow, OH-based Royal Appliances Manufacturing Co., the maker of Dirt Devil vacuums and other floor-care products, moved some data from an EMC Corp. Clariion to a LeftHand clustered array. In his search for a successor to the Clariion, he considered traditional and clustered storage systems. "Instead of a monolithic array, we wanted something that was more scalable," says Godine. For Royal, the LeftHand system has proven to be economical and easy to manage. "You can create and destroy LUNs in a fraction of the time it takes with other systems," says Godine.
|Clustered storage system sampler
The vendors in the vanguard of clustered storage largely found their way into data centers on the strength of how well their systems handle digital imaging applications, such as video editing and pre-production. For Sports Illustrated, Isilon's systems filled the bill. "This is digital data that only gets read a few times," notes Jache. "It's not like a database where you're doing a lot of incremental reads."
Some clustered storage vendors report that their customer rosters have grown beyond the entertainment and scientific industries to include financial, government, education and healthcare sectors. For example, Mark Rivard, network systems specialist at Johnson Memorial Hospital in Stafford Springs, CT, uses a 3TB EqualLogic PS array for file serving, e-mail and as a virtual disk for backup.
"We back up the entire domain to the cluster first and then to tape," says Rivard. And he plans to expand the number of applications using the system. "Every application that comes into the organization that has any volume of storage will be attached to [the EqualLogic cluster]," he says.
But despite its undeniable appeal, clustered storage is not necessarily a good fit for mission-critical database and online transaction processing applications. "Clustered architectures have to coordinate every request over the fabric to communicate with other nodes," says Sujal Patel, Isilon's CTO, chairman and founder, "and that coordination takes time because there's latency in GbE."
But Patel sees technologies such as Infiniband reducing that latency and increasing bandwidth between nodes. "The speed of the networking interface between the nodes is going to approach the speed of the computer bus; as that occurs, clustered architectures won't have any disadvantage vs. monolithic architectures," he says.
Clustered storage has a lot going for it. It effectively--and often elegantly--addresses some of the key drawbacks and bottlenecks associated with traditional storage systems. "It can greatly simplify the management of storage networks," says ESG's Asaro, and "when combined with intelligence such as moving data between tiers, data de-duplication, retention polices and meta data, it can create new [storage] applications."
Evaluator Group's Kerns is bullish on clustering, too: "It's the logical evolution," he says. "As more people catch on, it's going to become more and more popular."

Erik Jonsson School of Engineering and Computer Science
Mechanical Engineering (B.S.M.E.)
Specific Program Educational Objectives
One broad goal for the Erik Jonsson School is an excellent education for our students. Our Program Educational Objectives (PEOs) toward this goal are that students should:
- Have a successful, long-lived engineering-based career path.
- Meet the needs of industry.
- Contribute to, and lead, engineering-based teams.
- Actively pursue life-long learning.
High School Preparation
Engineering education requires a strong high school preparation. Pre-engineering students should have high school preparation of at least one-half year in trigonometry and at least one year each in elementary algebra, intermediate and advanced algebra, plane geometry, chemistry, and physics, thus developing their competencies to the highest possible levels and preparing to move immediately into demanding college courses in calculus, calculus-based physics, and chemistry for science majors. It is also essential that pre-engineering students have the competence to read rapidly and with comprehension, and to write clearly and correctly.
Lower-Division Study
All lower-division students in Mechanical Engineering concentrate on mathematics, science and introductory engineering courses, building competence in these cornerstone areas for future application in upper-division engineering courses. The following requirements apply both to students seeking to transfer to UT Dallas from other institutions as well as to those currently enrolled at UT Dallas, whether in another school or in the Erik Jonsson School of Engineering and Computer Science.
ABET Requirements
All engineering degree plans must satisfy the requirements specified by the Accreditation Board for Engineering and Technology (ABET). The course work must include at least:
- One year (32 SCH) of an appropriate combination of mathematics and basic sciences
- One and one-half years (48 SCH) of engineering topics
- A general education component that complements the technical content
Although the Mechanical Engineering curricula that follow have been designed to meet these criteria, students have the responsibility, in consultation with an advisor, to monitor their own choice of courses carefully to be certain that all academic requirements for graduation are being satisfied. Students are strongly encouraged to take courses in such subjects as accounting, industrial management, finance, personnel administration, and engineering economy.
Academic Progress in Mechanical Engineering
In order to make satisfactory academic progress as a Mechanical engineering major, a student must meet all University requirements for academic progress, and must earn a grade of C- or better in each of the major core courses.

This is accomplished by (1) taking courses (typically electives) during one or more summer semesters, and (2) beginning graduate course work during the senior year. Details of the requirements for admission to this program are available from the Associate Dean for Undergraduate Education.
Honors Program
The Department of Mechanical Engineering offers upper-division Honors for outstanding students in the B.S. Mechanical Engineering degree program. This program offers special sections of designated classes and other activities designed to enhance the educational experience of exceptional students. Admission to the Honors programs requires a 3.50 or better GPA in at least 30 hours of coursework. Graduation with Honors requires a 3.50 or better GPA and completion of at least 6 honors classes. These honors classes must include either Senior Honors (MECH 4399) or Undergraduate Research in Mechanical Engineering (MECH 4V98) and a Senior Honors Thesis must be completed within one of those two classes. While the topics may be related, the Senior Thesis does not replace the need for the student to complete a regular Senior Design Project. The other 5 honors classes can come from a mixture of Graduate level (up to a count of 4) classes and special honor sections of regular undergraduate ME classes (up to a count of 2).
Departmental Honors with Distinction may be awarded to students whose Senior Honors Thesis is judged by a faculty committee to be of exemplary quality. Only students graduating with Departmental Honors are eligible. Thesis/projects must be submitted by the deadline that applies to M.S. Theses in the graduating semester to allow for proper evaluation. Students interested in Honors with Distinction are encouraged to start working on their thesis/project a year prior to graduation.

New Getty Exhibition Offers Rare Opportunity to View Masterful Artist of Dutch Golden Age
The Sacred Spaces of Pieter Saenredam
April 16 - July 7, 2002
Exhibitions Pavilion, J. Paul Getty Museum
PRESS PREVIEW: Tuesday, April 16, 2002, 9-11 a.m.
March 20, 2002
Los Angeles--The Sacred Spaces of Pieter Saenredam, an exhibition focusing on the work of one of the most remarkable painters of 17th-century Holland, will be on view at the J. Paul Getty Museum from April 16 through July 7, 2002. Together with Rembrandt and Vermeer, Saenredam (1597–1665) is considered one of the masters of the Golden Age of Dutch art. Saenredam's paintings and drawings are rarely seen in this country, and this is the first monographic international loan exhibition devoted to his work ever to be hosted in North America. This exhibition was originally created by the Centraal Museum, Utrecht, the Netherlands, and presented as Pieter Saenredam, The Utrecht Work: Paintings and Drawings by the 17th-century Master of Perspective from November 4, 2000 through February 4, 2001.
"The rare opportunity to present Saenredam's sublime vision to an American audience proved irresistible to the Getty," said Deborah Gribbon, director of the J. Paul Getty Museum and vice president of the J. Paul Getty Trust. "The exhibition is particularly appropriate for us as the Museum owns a painting and a major drawing by Saenredam, both showing views of the church of St. Bavo in Haarlem. When our colleagues at the Centraal Museum proposed reconstituting the Utrecht exhibition in Los Angeles, we were understandably delighted."
The Sacred Spaces of Pieter Saenredam examines a series of drawings and paintings Saenredam made of the churches of Utrecht during a stay beginning in the summer of 1636. His meticulously dated drawings have allowed art historians to closely trace his steps. In the case of this sojourn, which began on June 16 and ended on October 23, 1636, he rendered seven of the city's extraordinary medieval churches in more than 30 drawings. He spent the greatest amount of time (the first six weeks) in the Mariakerk, and then turned to the parish churches of the Buurkerk and St. Jacobskerk. In August, he drew St. Pieterskerk; and in September and October depicted the Domkerk and St. Janskerk. Saenredam concluded his visit with St. Catharinakerk. ("Kerk" means church in Dutch.)
Saenredam then took these drawings back to his studio in Haarlem, and used them as the basis for paintings (made exclusively on panel), some of which were executed over a quarter century later. "Saenredam's period in Utrecht was the most productive in his career," said Lee Hendrix, curator of drawings, J. Paul Getty Museum. "Through his quietly majestic 'portraits' of these seven churches and their interior spaces and architectural elements, Saenredam immortalized the history of his country, and his own role as a witness to its greatness."
The Artist and His Style
Pieter Saenredam was born in Assendelft in the province of Holland on June 9, 1597. In 1607, after the death of his father, the engraver Jan Saenredam, he moved to Haarlem where he lived until his death in 1665. Beginning in 1612, Saenredam trained with history and portrait painter Frans de Grebber, and stayed in his studio until 1622. From 1628, he devoted himself exclusively to architectural subjects. While painters before him had specialized in imaginary architecture, Saenredam was the first to specialize in existing buildings, especially churches.
Saenredam developed a distinctive working process that he practiced for most of his career. His production was small, as he worked in a painstaking, methodical manner. He began by making site drawings of churches that recorded measurements and forms with archaeological thoroughness. He also drew specific elements, such as elevations, columns, and capitals. Based on these, he made construction drawings in which he regularized spatial relationships and proportions according to the rules of perspective. In the final painting, Saenredam continued to make innumerable fine adjustments to architectural details, to create spaces of wondrous perfection and luminosity.
Exhibition Showcases Paintings and Drawings
The Sacred Spaces of Pieter Saenredam examines the strong relationship between Saenredam's drawings and paintings. "He was an innovator in the field of architectural painting, breaking from traditional, fantastic views of church interiors to treat architecture as a realistic subject," said Scott Schaefer, curator of paintings, J. Paul Getty Museum. "Saenredam's meticulous approach was unique in his time, with the poetry and perfection of his spaces unequalled by any of his successors."
Works in the exhibition include The nave and choir of St. Catharinakerk in Utrecht, 1655–1660, courtesy Upton House, The Bearsted Collection (The National Trust, UK), the only known painting of this church by Saenredam. Because of the extreme purity of the space and its luminous brilliance, this is one of the defining works of Saenredam's oeuvre. Also featured is the earliest sketch of The nave and choir of St. Catharinakerk in Utrecht seen to the east, October 2, 1636, courtesy The Utrecht Archive, Utrecht. In this drawing, the church appears to have a special air of perfection, achieved by the merging of its soaring pointed Gothic vaulting, its radiant whitewashed interior, and its sparse furnishings. A spectacular view straight down the nave maximizes the effect of ethereal space.
Utrecht's greatest Gothic church is depicted in one of Saenredam's most monumental drawings, The nave and choir of the Dom in Utrecht seen to the east, September 3, 1636, courtesy The Utrecht Archive, Utrecht. With numerous vertical lines he emphasized the staggering height of the nave, and added to the magnificence with gold "tapestries" painted on the piers, which had formed backdrops for the now removed statues of saints. In 1674, the nave collapsed in a hurricane, reducing the enormous space by half. This drawing is also an important document as the only reliable contemporary record of the church's original appearance.
Another exhibition highlight is on loan from the Los Angeles collection of Mrs. Edward W. Carter. The north aisle of the Mariakerk in Utrecht seen to the east, 1651, is one of Saenredam's rare church interiors devoid of figures. In this work, nothing detracts from the simplicity of the space and the subtle color nuances of the plaster and stone surfaces of the interior.
To elucidate the intense methodology behind Saenredam's work, the Getty Museum is presenting a special section in the exhibition devoted to his working process. This will feature the Getty's painting and drawing of the church the artist painted most frequently, St. Bavo in Haarlem, along with related drawings and a painting lent by other institutions.
In conjunction with the exhibition, the Getty will republish the English edition of the Centraal Museum's exhibition catalogue, Pieter Saenredam, The Utrecht Work: Paintings and Drawings by the 17th-century Master of Perspective (hardcover $55). This comprehensive 304-page book is edited by Liesbeth M. Helmus, curator of fine arts prior to 1800 at the Centraal Museum, with portions written by Arie de Groot, Geraldine van Heemstra, Dr. Helmus, and Michiel C. Plomp. It includes 97 color illustrations, 27 black-and-white illustrations, and 12 drawings. The catalogue is available in the Museum bookstore, online at www.getty.edu, or by calling 800-223-3431.

Battling Authority Once Again! (パワーバトル!アイリスVSヒカリ!! Power Battle! Iris VS Dawn!) is the 43rd episode of Pokémon: BW Rival Destinies.
The Junior Cup of the Pokémon World Championship is underway, and in the Quarter-finals, Trip has beaten Manning, Cilan has beaten Horatio and Ash just beat Geraldo. Now a real battle begins: Dawn VS Iris. Even though they just became friends, they will not go easy on each other. Who will win, the Pokémon Coordinator or the Dragon Master wannabe? Will soon find out as the 4th match up of Round 2 begins now!
Episode Plot
The screen presents the second round challengers. Trip will fight Manny, Cilan is paired against Horatio, Ash will battle Geraldo and the last battle is Iris vs. Dawn. Dawn knows well they would eventually battle each other, so wishes Iris luck. Georgia hopes Iris won't lose to anyone but her. Burgundy asks is she supporting for Iris, but Georgia denies this. First is Trip, who sends Serperior, against Manning, who sends Heatmor. Cilan expects a good match, while Iris is concerned with Dragonite, who did not listen to her. She thinks of Dragonite's last battle, then runs away. Outside, she sends Dragonite, letting it know it may not attack if it does not listen to her. She tries to bond with it, but Dragonite refuses. Cynthia appears, seeing Iris' problem.
Serperior launches Solar Beam, defeating Heatmor in an instant. Trip calls Serperior back and looks at Ash, then goes away. Next are Cilan and Horatio. Georgia believes Burgundy would be a better Connoisseur if she looked up to Cilan, which enrages Burgundy. Cilan sends Stunfisk against Horatio's Cinccino. Cynthia approaches Dragonite, who dismisses her. Cynthia feels Dragonite does not trust humans, clarifying Dragonite should relax, instead it will just hurt itself and Iris. Iris sees for herself Cynthia is amazing. Stunfisk uses Sludge Bomb, defeating Cinncino. Georgia asks Burgundy where is her evaluation. Burgundy replies she won't waste her skills on this battle, so Georgia thinks Burgundy is quiet because Georgia would scold her. Burgundy brushes her off, so Georgia proves her point.
Iris comes back and heard Cilan won. Next is Ash, who is visited by Meloetta. Ash sends Boldore against Geraldo's Reuniclus. Boldore uses Flash Cannon, targeting Reuniclus. Meanwhile, Trip sees Cynthia, who is eating an ice cream. Cynthia remembers him, but wonders why he does not watch the battles. Trip replies he already has the strategies against his challengers. Cynthia wishes him luck, while Trip thinks once he beats Alder, he is targeting her. Boldore uses Rock Blast, defeating Reuniclus. The final match is Iris vs. Dawn. Georgia wishes that in Iris' quest to become a Dragon Master, Iris should make Dragonite obey her. Iris sends Dragonite, while Dawn Mamoswine. Both Dawn and Iris are determined to give their best to win.
Mamoswine uses Hidden Power. Dragonite, per Iris' order, dodges the attack. Mamoswine uses Ice Shard, making Iris frightened, for it is super effective against Dragonite. Iris orders Dragonite to dodge, who simply takes the hit. Georgia wonders why Dragonite is stubborn, while Burgundy senses it just does not want to dodge. Mamoswine goes to take down Dragonite, who charges head on, ignoring Iris' orders. Both clash, though Dragonite manages to stop Mamoswine. Mamoswine uses Ice Shard, hitting Dragonite directly, who uses raw force to throw and knock Mamoswine down. Iris is enraged, for even if Dragonite did prove it is strong, it still disobeys her. Dawn and Mamoswine are still good to battle, but Dragonite dismisses that. Iris reminds Dragonite they can only win if they battle as a team.
Mamoswine goes to take down Dragonite. Iris tells Dragonite to dodge, who clashes with Mamoswine, who topples it away. Mamoswine uses Ice Shard, so Dragonite takes the hit, ignoring Iris' command to use Flamethrower. Mamoswine uses Ice Fang, clashing with Dragonite. However, Dragonite holds Mamoswine's tusks, which freeze its arms. Dragonite flies up and uses Dragon Rush, which hits Mamoswine, defeating Mamoswine. Burgundy sees Iris managed to win, but Georgia corrects her, claiming Dragonite won, not Iris. Dawn calls Mamoswine back and congratulates Iris, who replies she only won by a hair. Dawn wishes her luck in the semi-finals. Cynthia sees that when Dragonite starts listening to Iris, the duo will certainly be powerful.
The screen displays the semi-finals, so Cilan will fight Trip and Iris is matched with Ash. Iris and Ash remind themselves of Nimbasa Tournament, in which Excadrill defeated Pikachu. First are Cilan and Trip, the latter trying to prove power is everything. Cilan senses Trip is already preparing for the battle against Alder, but he is here to stop Trip. Trip sends Serperior against Cilan's Crustle. Cilan knew Trip would use Serperior. Serperior leers Crustle, who hides in the rock, negating the move. Serperior uses Solar Beam, which hits Crustle, who retaliates using X-Scissor. Serperior evades, so Crustle uses Rock Slide. Serperior dodges again and defeats Crustle using Frenzy Plant.
Cilan calls Crustle back, angering Burgundy, who is furious Cilan calls himself A-Class Connosieur with that defeat. Alder admits it was powerful, but senses it will go so far. Trip aims to prove his point by beating Alder. Ash admits to Cilan that was a good battle, knowing Serperior is an awesome Pokémon and is looking forward to battle it. Outside, Iris asks Dragonite to listen to her. Dawn approaches her and lets her know Mamoswine disobeyed her once. She tells Iris Dragonite will listen to her one day. On the battle field, Ash sends Krokorok and Iris sends Dragonite.
- It is revealed that after Trip beats Alder, he's going to battle Cynthia next even though he has to deal with Ash's old Sinnoh rival Paul first when he just battle her once and lost in Top - Down Training!.
- Like in Strategy with a Smile!, the female companions Ash traveled with battle each other.
- The soundtrack title theme of Zoroark: Master of Illusions is played in this episode.
- Who's that Pokémon?: Mamoswine (U.S.)

Inclusion in this prestigious listing demonstrates the industry's recognition of the company's position as a leading provider within the security as a service market.
The online voting process starts from 15th March and ends on 1st April and operates on a one vote per email address basis. Customers and partners can vote for Webroot under the 'Security Vendor of the Year' category at the awards website.
Ian Moyse, Webroot EMEA Channel Director, commented, "Being shortlisted for such an influential award is critical to Webroot, as it proves that our offerings add significant value to our channel partners and end users. It is also important that the award is voted for by the magazine readers and partners, as we are always delighted with feedback from our customers and channel partners. This shortlist also puts us in a strong position as we strengthen our commitment to the channel with the recent launch of the advanced EMEA channel partner programme and channel-friendly multi-tiered service structure."
In addition, Ian Moyse was voted one of the top three Channel Personalities of the Year at the European IT Excellence Awards 2010, organised by IT Europa. The ultimate achievement for channel professionals was voted by peers and colleagues across the European IT channel, and this year, there were over 1,000 votes cast in the poll, representing a considerable influence within the industry.
About MicroScope ACEs 2010
This year the categories in the ACEs have changed to reflect the widespread focus on solution selling offered by the reseller channel. Overall the awards are designed to recognise and reward the strength and depth of the channel, giving some of the unsung heroes a chance to get the recognition they deserve. There are chances for some of the back office teams that serve crucial functions in distribution to get rewarded, as well as the vendor channel team of the year to step forward and receive the plaudits from the industry they serve.

September, 1964
No. 5
of the
Accounting Principles Board •
American Institute of Certified Public Accountants 666 Fifth Avenue, New York, N. Y. 10019
Copyright 1964 by American Institute of Certified Public Accountants, Inc.
1. This Opinion sets forth the Board's views as to proper procedures or methods for implementing generally accepted accounting principles governing accounting for assets and liabilities and income and expense with respect to leases and sale and leasebacks. It supersedes Chapter 14 of Accounting Research Bulletin No. 43, "Disclosure of Long-Term Leases in Financial Statements of Lessees." This Opinion makes no distinction between leases of real property and leases of personal property. Because of the highly specialized problems involved, this Opinion does not apply to agreements concerning natural resources such as oil, gas, timber and mineral rights.
2. The two principal recommendations of Chapter 14 of Accounting Research Bulletin No. 43 were:
(1) ... where the rentals or other obligations under long-term leases are material in the circumstances, the committee is of the opinion that:
(a) disclosure should be made in financial statements or in notes thereto of:
(1) the amounts of annual rentals to be paid under such leases with some indication of the periods for which they are payable and
(2) any other important obligation assumed or guarantee made in connection therewith;
(b) the above information should be given not only in the year in which the transaction originates but also as long thereafter as the amounts involved are material; and
(c) in addition, in the year in which the transaction originates, there should be disclosure of the principal details of any im-portant sale-and-lease transaction.
(2) ... the committee is of the opinion that the facts relating to all such leases should be carefully considered and that, where it is

Now, Bertuzzi blindsides Crawford
Oh, you just knew this would happen, didn't you? Like a perp being hammered in the D.A.'s room in an episode of "Law and Order", Todd Bertuzzi is turning state's evidence against his old partner in crime, Marc Crawford. (Read the story.)
You knew this would happen. When it comes down to protecting their own rice bowl, co-conspirators will start singing on each other in a heartbeat. Bertuzzi is effectively using the "He made me do it" defense, for his cowardly assault on former Avalanche player Steve Moore more than four years ago. Boy, you'd love to be in a foxhole with this guy, wouldn't you?
And make no mistake, I'm not a Crawford defender in this whole sorry episode, either. Do I have proof the former Avs coach ordered Bertuzzi to make Moore "pay the price", as Bertuzzi is now alleging? No. I would be willing to wager something along those lines was communicated, however. But, absent either a tape recording of the scene in that Canucks locker room that night, I don't see how Bertuzzi will prove it. Either that, or Bertuzzi getting more of his former teammates to come to his side and testify in court. I doubt that will happen. Guys are going to want to keep their names OUT of this, and even if subpoenas are issued to some of the Canucks there that night, my hunch is they'll all play the "I don't remember" card.
Bertuzzi suing Crawford just opens up so many more questions and subplots to this awful story. Should a coach be liable for a player's actions, if he tells him to go hurt someone else? But all Crawford's lawyers have to say – and no doubt will say – is "If our client DID say Moore had to 'pay the price' – and our client denies saying that – he certainly didn't mean for him to break his freakin' neck."
There, of course, will be many who will ask Bertuzzi, "If Crawford ordered you to go jump off a bridge, would you have done that too?" Isn't he ultimately responsible for his own actions?
I think the answer is, and ultimately will be affirmed by a court of law, if it goes that far, is yes. Crawford certainly might have ordered Bertuzzi to go make Moore pay the price. But absent any written document or electronic recording of his exact words to him, it will be impossible, I believe, for any judge or jury to hold Crawford liable for the majority of damages. "Paying the price" is too vague of an alleged agenda to have been ordered.
A few other things that keep being forgotten in this whole thing:
– Bertuzzi (and Brad May) both made threatening comments toward Moore right after the game in which the whole thing got started, when Moore hit Markus Naslund in open ice (unpenalized). All Crawford's lawyers have to say is "These guys were already hatching their plans on their own, right away."
– It was the score of the game at the time (Avs won 9-2 that night) that greatly exacerbated the whole situation. In a tight game, the whole thing never happens. The Canucks were just getting embarrassed on home ice, and so they looked toward Moore again to take out their frustrations on.
– Moore had ALREADY FOUGHT IN THAT SAME GAME. Everybody forgets he fought Canucks forward Matt Cooke earlier, and handed Cooke his lunch in an honest fight.
That should have "settled" the matter already, according to the often ludicrous hockey code, but I guess because Moore fought like a man and handled himself well, it was up to a guy who outweighed Moore by about 40 pounds to try next. Of course, we all saw what kind of man Bertuzzi was, and his idea of an honorable fight.
Everybody also forgets how the Canucks played the Avs in a game at the Pepsi Center, sandwiched between the one of the Naslund hit and the one in Vancouver. The Canucks chose to play like little lambs on visiting ice, which begs the question: Why didn't Moore have to "pay the price" in that game, the first one back?
What I wonder is, when is Crawford going to start lashing back and maybe try to throw Brian Burke under the bus? We all know what Burke's hockey philosophy is, so how long before Crawford maybe starts singing on his old boss? Or, after his charity contract from Brian Burke is over from the Ducks, might Bertuzzi turn on him at some point, too?
Burke made a total fool out of himself following the incident, most notably his laughable press conference when he basically tried to blame the whole thing on Andrei Nikolishin, for piling on top of Bertuzzi. We all knew Burke had a law degree at the time, but he apparently got himself an MD just prior to that game, too.
Of course, Burke was crying like a little baby when poor little Naslund got his nose dusted off from a hard but clean hit by Moore. And so, too, frankly, was Crawford.
There are no winners here, of course. Just a bunch of shady guys starting to turn on each other. Of course, jumping guys when their backs are turned is nothing new to Bertuzzi. He's just added Crawford now to his list, that's all.
The only person who has acted like a real man throughout all of this, of course, is Steve Moore.

Background - I didn't name the collection, but if I had I would have referred to it a diocesan collection from the diocese of Granada. The collection was microfilmed in the 1980s by FamilySearch (then called the Genealogical Society of Utah) at the Diocesan Archive of Granda. In 1988 FamilySearch created an index, which was published on microfiche.
How to access the collection today - The 1988 index created by FamilySearch (volunteers that created the index on their spare time) was discovered in electronic format and reformatted to work with modern systems in 2010. FamilySearch published the index on familysearch.org - an example of what you will find is below.

|Event Type:
|Event Date:
|17 Jul 1795

|Spouse's Age:

How to understand and use the collection - The collection has more than 450,000 marriages. These marriages have proven their valor in helping resolve research problems in parishes where record destruction has stolen the baptisms, marriages, and deaths from us (my estimate is that 40%-50% of the diocese was destroyed during the Spanish civil war). The index (shown above) has a key field in it...one that you wouldn't think is essential and necessary....'Image Number.' Image number in this case refers to 'sequence number,' meaning that the pre-marriage investigation packet for Andres Pulido and Ysabel del Valle is number 111 on microfilm number 1650117. Since FamilySearch does not have digital rights to scan and publish the microfilms from the diocese of Granada online. So, the only way to consult the actual pre-marriage investigation, or marriage dispensation, you will have to order the microfilm to your local FamilySearch center.

Copyright (C) 2007 Free Software Foundation, Inc. <http://fsf.org/>
Everyone is permitted to copy and distribute verbatim copies
of this license document, but changing it is not allowed.
This version of the GNU Lesser General Public License incorporates
the terms and conditions of version 3 of the GNU General Public
License, supplemented by the additional permissions listed below.
0. Additional Definitions.
As used herein, "this License" refers to version 3 of the GNU Lesser
General Public License, and the "GNU GPL" refers to version 3 of the GNU
General Public License.
"The Library" refers to a covered work governed by this License,
other than an Application or a Combined Work as defined below.
An "Application" is any work that makes use of an interface provided
by the Library, but which is not otherwise based on the Library.
Defining a subclass of a class defined by the Library is deemed a mode
of using an interface provided by the Library.
A "Combined Work" is a work produced by combining or linking an
Application with the Library. The particular version of the Library
with which the Combined Work was made is also called the "Linked
The "Minimal Corresponding Source" for a Combined Work means the
Corresponding Source for the Combined Work, excluding any source code
for portions of the Combined Work that, considered in isolation, are
based on the Application, and not on the Linked Version.
The "Corresponding Application Code" for a Combined Work means the
object code and/or source code for the Application, including any data
and utility programs needed for reproducing the Combined Work from the
Application, but excluding the System Libraries of the Combined Work.
1. Exception to Section 3 of the GNU GPL.
You may convey a covered work under sections 3 and 4 of this License
without being bound by section 3 of the GNU GPL.
2. Conveying Modified Versions.
If you modify a copy of the Library, and, in your modifications, a
facility refers to a function or data to be supplied by an Application
that uses the facility (other than as an argument passed when the
facility is invoked), then you may convey a copy of the modified
a) under this License, provided that you make a good faith effort to
ensure that, in the event an Application does not supply the
function or data, the facility still operates, and performs
whatever part of its purpose remains meaningful, or
b) under the GNU GPL, with none of the additional permissions of
this License applicable to that copy.
3. Object Code Incorporating Material from Library Header Files.
The object code form of an Application may incorporate material from
a header file that is part of the Library. You may convey such object
code under terms of your choice, provided that, if the incorporated
material is not limited to numerical parameters, data structure
layouts and accessors, or small macros, inline functions and templates
(ten or fewer lines in length), you do both of the following:
a) Give prominent notice with each copy of the object code that the
Library is used in it and that the Library and its use are
covered by this License.
b) Accompany the object code with a copy of the GNU GPL and this license
4. Combined Works.
You may convey a Combined Work under terms of your choice that,
taken together, effectively do not restrict modification of the
portions of the Library contained in the Combined Work and reverse
engineering for debugging such modifications, if you also do each of
the following:
a) Give prominent notice with each copy of the Combined Work that
the Library is used in it and that the Library and its use are
covered by this License.
b) Accompany the Combined Work with a copy of the GNU GPL and this license
c) For a Combined Work that displays copyright notices during
execution, include the copyright notice for the Library among
these notices, as well as a reference directing the user to the
copies of the GNU GPL and this license document.
d) Do one of the following:
0) Convey the Minimal Corresponding Source under the terms of this
License, and the Corresponding Application Code in a form
suitable for, and under terms that permit, the user to
recombine or relink the Application with a modified version of
the Linked Version to produce a modified Combined Work, in the
manner specified by section 6 of the GNU GPL for conveying
Corresponding Source.
1) Use a suitable shared library mechanism for linking with the
Library. A suitable mechanism is one that (a) uses at run time
a copy of the Library already present on the user's computer
system, and (b) will operate properly with a modified version
of the Library that is interface-compatible with the Linked
e) Provide Installation Information, but only if you would otherwise
be required to provide such information under section 6 of the
GNU GPL, and only to the extent that such information is
necessary to install and execute a modified version of the
Combined Work produced by recombining or relinking the
Application with a modified version of the Linked Version. (If
you use option 4d0, the Installation Information must accompany
the Minimal Corresponding Source and Corresponding Application
Code. If you use option 4d1, you must provide the Installation
Information in the manner specified by section 6 of the GNU GPL
for conveying Corresponding Source.)
5. Combined Libraries.
You may place library facilities that are a work based on the
Library side by side in a single library together with other library
facilities that are not Applications and are not covered by this
License, and convey such a combined library under terms of your
choice, if you do both of the following:
a) Accompany the combined library with a copy of the same work based
on the Library, uncombined with any other library facilities,
conveyed under the terms of this License.
b) Give prominent notice with the combined library that part of it
is a work based on the Library, and explaining where to find the
accompanying uncombined form of the same work.
6. Revised Versions of the GNU Lesser General Public License.
The Free Software Foundation may publish revised and/or new versions
of the GNU Lesser General Public License from time to time. Such new
versions will be similar in spirit to the present version, but may
differ in detail to address new problems or concerns.
Each version is given a distinguishing version number. If the
Library as you received it specifies that a certain numbered version
of the GNU Lesser General Public License "or any later version"
applies to it, you have the option of following the terms and
conditions either of that published version or of any later version
published by the Free Software Foundation. If the Library as you
received it does not specify a version number of the GNU Lesser
General Public License, you may choose any version of the GNU Lesser
General Public License ever published by the Free Software Foundation.
If the Library as you received it specifies that a proxy can decide
whether future versions of the GNU Lesser General Public License shall
apply, that proxy's public statement of acceptance of any version is
permanent authorization for you to choose that version for the

This plugin adds social network capabilities to your project's users. So, in example, your users will be able to mutually add as contact, send and receive messages, create groups, manage events, receive notifications about all this stuff, and so on.
A working demo is online at http://social.garak.it/
To install (from your project's root):
cd plugins;
svn co http://svn.symfony-project.com/plugins/sfSocialPlugin/trunk sfSocialPlugin
The package depends on sfGuardPlugin, as users are managed by it. There's also an optional dependance from sfThumbnailPlugin (to create thumbnails for profile pictures)
Enable plugins in your
ProjectConfiguration class
// config/ProjectConfiguration.class.php public function setup() { // possibly add other plugins here... $this->enablePlugins(array('sfGuardPlugin', 'sfThumbnailPlugin', 'sfSocialPlugin')); }
Enable modules in your application settings
# apps/frontend/config/settings.yml enabled_modules: [sfGuardAuth, sfSocialMessage, sfSocialEvent, sfSocialContact, sfSocialNotify, sfSocialUser, sfSocialGroup] # this list is not complete: customize on your needs
In you application's
lib/myUser.class.php, set class to extend
plugins/sfGuardPlugin/lib/model/sfGuardUser.php and set class to extend
sfSocialGuardUser instead of
PluginsfGuardUser. Do the same for
making it extend
sfSocialGuardUserPeer instead of
Note that plugin comes with full modules templates. To use customized templates, just
create under your application a module with the same name as the module you want
to customize (don't use
generate:module task, just create the directory), then add your
custom templates inside.
If you prefer to use default templates, be aware that all forms inside are based on
list formatter (tables are ugly!), so you must add this code:
// lib/form/BaseFormPropel.class.php public function setup() { // default formatter to list (instead of table) $this->widgetSchema->setDefaultFormFormatterName('list'); // i18n $this->widgetSchema->getFormFormatter()->setTranslationCatalogue('sfSocial'); }
About user's profile, the schema comes with a definition for
just to be ready-to-go. You can customize the schema for your needs, or just comment
that part if you already have
sfGuardUserProfile defined elsewhere.
In case you customize, note that some templates from sfSocialUser module should be
adapted (see above).
Currently Contact, Message, Event, User, and Notify modules are working, with functional tests.
The project aims to fully implement:
Contact system (aka friends system): search for other users, request contact, accept/deny contact request, see list of your contacts, categorize contacts in groups, see contacts of other users, see contact shared with other users, see "degrees of separation"
Message system: send a message, read received messages, reply to a message.
Group system: create a group, invite users to join, manage groups.
Event system: create an event, invite users to partecipate, confirm partecipation (yes/no/maybe)
Comment system: write commments, reply to comments. For groups, events and maybe for something else.
Notification system: a glue for all other systems. Notify your contacts when you do an action (add a contact, create an event, etc.)

That's all, folks - Wizard School has come to a close. I've greatly enjoyed writing it, and I'm extremely thankful for everyone who's read it all the way through. I always wanted to make comics when I was a kid, and I got to do it, and I couldn't be more happy to have gotten the chance.
Thanks especially to Robert Rath for the art. He's done a fantastic job of bringing everything to life, and has a talent for slipping in great jokes and references in the background of the art. Hopefully he'll go on to have a successful career in comics, because he's certainly got the talent.
I'm still planning on getting Cargo Cult completed, as well as getting Bound done through the seventh issue, but unfortunately I can't promise firm dates. They're written, but I'm still working with the artists on those comics to get things finished up.
I'm turning to writing novels, and I hope if you liked the comics, you'll follow me to that format (i.e., the ads for They Who Fell on the sidebar). And if you don't, I'd still love to come back to comics someday, and maybe even do another Wizard School story or two. Thanks again so much for reading - I had a blast, and I hope you did, too.
