Re: Series that makes you cry the mostWow. I knew that... It just didn't even cross my mind to do it.
Re: Series that makes you cry the mostITEMS-->FENIX DOWN-->THREAD
I just beat Klonoa (the Wii version). Wow. Video games may not make me cry, but that ending came pretty damn close. Um, by the way, if you play it on the Wii, do yourself a favor and set the language to Phantomile (the original gibberish-type voices). The English voice acting is atrocious, and makes a complete joke out of what is normally a beautiful ending.
Re: Series that makes you cry the mostI don't know if I've ever actually cried literally from a game, but I've gotten all choked up and misty at times. Not necessarily from any sad moments, but from just general sentimental games for me, like any retro games really close to me. Earthbound, the DKC trilogy, Mario 64, games that I really associate with nostalgia kind of make me in a crying (in a good way) mood.
Re: Series that makes you cry the mostI feel kind of horrible because I have both Okami and Wind Waker and I haven't beaten them yet!!
So I'm unable to relate to those endings quite yet. I noticed most of your posts and how most of your were moved by these ending of these games. I'll try and beat them as soon as possible. I think I'm really close in Okami... [spoiler]I beat Orochi for the 2nd time.[/spoiler] If that helps. As far as games I've beaten and had an emotional attachment it has to be Twilight Princess. The music during the credits made me feel a since of happiness and sadness and took me on a journey while the screen showed the events unfold. Yah, I think I might have shed of few tears during the last and final scene... but to me the story is never over. You can enjoy play it again and relive the dream, so it's not all that sad... I don't want it to be sad. (People who have beat it know what talking about). I agree with IMB706, Super Mario 64 made me so warm and happy when I beat it, it had such an upbeat music during the credits. It definitely made me feel like I had did something great! [spoiler]I Loved how he even took the time to personally thank the player after beating it. I think that's one of the few games that did/does that. Oh... I how can I forget that famous kiss from Princess Peach? It made Mario blush so hard, he spun and took off his hat! I love that game for soo many reasons!! :heart:[/spoiler] I want to honor Pokemon: Gold, Sliver and Crystal... the ending was so iconic....the music the pixels --everything! I always loved the ending to pokemon.... next time you beat it, take time in listening to the 8bit melody. And DONT TURN it off right away-- you need to wait for the little special music at the end! ;3 It makes me feel happy and emotionally-cherry. |
Re: Series that makes you cry the mostNever actually cried, per se. Choking up happens from time to time though, most recently during Twilight Princess.
As for what game has pushed me closest, this question has come up to me at separate times over the years, and my answer is still the same: Grim Fandango. [spoiler]There's a minor character that's introduced in year 3 named Chepito. This little guy has been walking around the ocean bed for the last lord-knows-how-many-years trying to find land, but really spent all that time walking in circles since the small lamp he carries doesn't light his way very well. Over and over again, he does this while singing "This Little Light of Mine" in an upbeat way. Anyway, things happen and the game carries on with Chepito in tow all the way to the final year. Almost everyone Manny has dragged along with him to the final station in the Land of the Dead is detained because they made the journey without claiming their tickets for the Number 9 express train. There's a scene that is entirely optional where Manny returns to the station platform fountain to find Chepito walking in circles around the fountain, still singing "This Little Light of Mine". Chepito then explains to Manny that he wasn't detained because he never received a ticket for the Number 9, that he's essentially finished his four-year journey through the Land of the Dead, and the few laps he's done in the fountain has balanced out the years he spent wandering the ocean. He then hops out of the fountain, leaves through the railway tunnel out of the Land of the Dead, singing "This Little Light of Mine" all the while before it fades out completely. He's passed on. He's escaped the Land of the Dead. He's free.[/spoiler] Hits me every time. |
Re: Series that makes you cry the mostDon't usually cry over endings, but the ones that got me a knot in the throat are:
In Okami, [spoiler]Issun bidding farewell to Amaterasu, the prayers, etc[/spoiler]. Order of Ecclesia, [spoiler]Shanoa claiming her emotions back[/spoiler], also, the end music didn't help. kingdom Hearts 358/2 days, [spoiler]Xion's death and the fact that Roxas' life is but a lie[/spoiler]. Silent Hill Shattered Memories, the Love Lost ending. ... I dunno about this one, but in Spirit Tracks, [spoiler]When Byrne dies and Cole is skipping, I wanted to stab the little freak with his own horns so bad...[/spoiler] |
Re: Series that makes you cry the most
[spoiler]Not that you need to, considering his satisfying demise.[/spoiler]
Re: Series that makes you cry the mostI have to disagree... That wasn't satisfying at all
Re: Series that makes you cry the mostMost of the ones that get me have already been put forward. Okami's last boss fight and ending; Twilight Princess's... like, entire last quarter, Majora's Mask as a whole; Link's Awakening's ending; Most cutscenes in OoT; actually, I think the good ending of Bioshock choked me up a bit; and of course, Mother 3.
I haven't played Ico, and I haven't beaten SotC. I expect they'll render me incoherent, from what I've heard. Sonic the Hedgehog 2006 made me cry. |
Re: Series that makes you cry the mostGears of War 2...and once I cried during Metroid Prime...I dont remember why...But I did...DONT JUDGE.
Re: Series that makes you cry the most
Maybe because the game is so awesome, you couldn't help but be overwhelmed by its epicness? |
Re: Series that makes you cry the mostI don't think I've ever played a game with storyline material that would make me cry. But I usually get really choked up with nostalgia when I play an old game, especially if it's been a long time. Cuz it puts me back there , where I was at the time.
Like when I play old NES games , it reminds me when I was in middle school and the friends I had then. And playing Mario games with my brother who now lives in Florida. When I play games from the mid-nineties , my kids were in diapers and now they're teenagers. Hell , get teary-eyed thinking bout the old MDb forum and when there were only 3 Metroid games. Does this happen to any other classic gamers ? |
Re: Series that makes you cry the mostHmm, i'd have to say in GOW2 when [spoiler]Dom finds Maria and haves to put her out of her misery. It just sucks that after searching so long, he finds her dead...[/spoiler] Also, in SotC [spoiler]Agro DIDN'T die, watch the credits...[/spoiler]
Re: Series that makes you cry the most
Well, I'm only seventeen, but until second grade the only systems I had were an NES and a Game Boy, so I get nostalgic over a lot of classic games, even though I wasn't around when they were released. Whenever I play Link's Awakening, the memories come flooding back (granted, that's fairly new compared to most "classic" games). Also, I just beat Shadow of the Colossus. Wow. Just wow. I came close to crying, let me tell you. For all its flaws, it still strikes me as perfect.
Re: Series that makes you cry the mostI'm only 20 so what makes me feel nostalgic is somewhat recent. The late 90s and early 00s are the most nostalgic for me, but the early and mid 90s are that special warm and fuzzy nostalgia, if you get my drift. Games like the Donkey Kong Country series on Super NES, Yoshi's Island, Earthbound, Sonic, etc etc make me have a few tears at times.

Group 16 - DeWalt 4 1/2 in Angle Grinder Gate 2
Contents |
Gate 2
For this gate our group dissected our product and considered what its assembly revealed about the design factors that went into this product. Before we could do this, our group first had to analyze how our original plans outlined in Gate 1 had gone, and what changes needed to be made in order to make our group perform better. This group assessment is provided under the Project Management section below. We then proceeded to dissect our part, and have provided step-by-step instructions on how to do this. Under the Product Archaeology section we describe our scale of difficulty for disassembling each part and then provide the aforementioned step-by-step instructions, along with a rating of the difficulty of each step. Finally, under Connection of Subsystems our group documents the connections of the subsystems and considers the factors behind these design decisions.
Project Management
Product Archaeology
Difficulty Scale
In order to describe the difficulty of each step, we will use the categories outlined in Table 1. When assessing the difficulty of each step, it was important not just to assess the time a step took, but rather the aspects that would make the task challenging for the average user. We therefore considered the tools required for a task, the intuitiveness of the step, and any difficulties that may have arose from inaccessibility of a part or the amount of force that must be applied.
Difficulty Category | Description | Example |
Easy | This step involved minimal effort and either the use of no tools or a very simple one such as a screw driver. This step was completely intuitive, and simple to execute. | Unscrewing a wing nut or a Phillips-head screw |
Moderate | This step required a little time and effort and involved more complex tools such as a wrench or pliers. This step may have required some thinking and observation of the components before it was clear what to do, and was somewhat challenging to execute. | Removing electrical connections with pliers or unscrewing a screw that was partially blocked by other components |
Difficult | This step required advanced planning and analysis of the product to determine how to do it. While it may have involved the same tools as a moderate step, it was a challenge to use them on the part that was to be removed, or a large amount of force may have been required. Executing these steps was very challenging and may have required multiple attempts or assistance from another person. | Removing a bearing that is shrunk fit onto a shaft |
Dissection Instructions
The instructions given in Table 2 are intended to provide a thorough and complete description of the dissection process such that an individual with no prior knowledge of the product could disassemble it in the same manner our group did. Pictures are provided for clarity and to specify which component of the product is being dealt with at any particular point.
- Before beginning dissection, the following tools will be required:
- Phillips-head Screwdriver
- Torx Drivers: T-5, T-10, T-15
- Needle-nose Pliers
- Channellock Pliers
- 3/8 in Crescent Wrench
Step | Tools Required | Description | Difficulty | Image |
1 | None | Twist the handle to unscrew it from the main components of the angle grinder. Then remove the clamp nut and back flange by similarly unscrewing them from the general assembly. | Easy | |
2 | Phillips-Head screwdriver | Use the screwdriver to remove the screw holding the two halves of the guard ring together, and then slide the guard off the general assembly. | Easy | |
3 | T-10 Torx Driver | Use the Torx driver to remove the four screws attaching the gearbox to the main housing. Then pull the gearbox off and the attached drive shaft will come out with it. | Moderate | |
4 | T-15 Torx Driver | Use the Torx driver to unscrew the four screws holding the housing together at the bottom (near plug) of the angle grinder. Separate the two halves and remove them. | Easy | |
5 | Phillips-Head Screwdriver | Locate the red switch inside the now exposed interior, and use the screwdriver to loosen the clamps on the wires leading to the power cord. Now unscrew the two screws holding the power cord's plastic attachment in place, allowing you to pull the power cord out. | Moderate | |
6 | Needle-nose Pliers | Use the needle-nose pliers to grip the wire contacts between the red switch and the carbon brushes. These four contacts will slide right off. It is recommended a marker is used to note which wire went to which contact on the switch, so that it can be reassembled properly. | Moderate | |
7 | Needle-nose Pliers, T-5 Torx Driver | Use the needle-nose pliers to grip the brush spring and pull back on it. You can now swing the brush out and release the spring. Repeat for the other side. Now use the Torx Driver to unscrew the screw holding the brush in place. The entire brush assembly can now be removed and taken apart by hand. | Difficult | |
8 | T-5 Torx Driver | Use the Torx driver to remove the four screws that hold the black fan baffle in place, and remove the fan baffle from the body. | Easy | |
9 | Needle-nose Pliers | First, pull the switch off the switch bar until it snaps off. Then use the needle nose pliers to pull the switch bar out of its slot in the main housing. | Moderate | |
10 | None | By banging the remaining housing on the work surface, the electromagnet will eventually be forced out. It is only held in place by a relatively loose press fit. | Easy | |
11 | Channellock Pliers, 3/8 in Crescent Wrench | Take the drive shaft-gearbox assembly and slide the drive shaft out the bottom of the gearbox. First unscrew the nut that is threaded on using the 3/8" crescent wrench. Remove the pinion by gripping it with the channellock pliers and pulling it off the drive shaft. The back ring retainer will then slide off. Next, remove the bearing by also gripping it with the channellock pliers and pulling it off the drive shaft. At this point it will help to have assistance, as the pinion and bearing are shrink fitted on, and will require a large amount of force to remove. | Difficult | |
12 | T-10 Torx Driver | Use the Torx driver to unscrew the screws holding the back of the of the gearbox in place, and then remove the back. | Easy |
Ease of Disassembly
Connections of Subsystems
The overall function of the DeWalt 4 1/2 in Angle Grinder is to grind materials by converting electrical energy into rotational mechanical energy. This occurs through a series of subsystems. File:AngleGrinderFunctionalModel001.jpg 1000x1000px
How the Subsystems are Connected
To achieve the overall function, the subsystems must be physically connected. The power switch is connected to a plastic bar that slides back and forth and allows electricity into the electric motor. The electric motor is connected to the drive shaft. When the electric motor spins, the drive shaft rotates. The drive shaft then connects to the gearbox and to the gears inside. The rotation of the drive shaft causes the gears to turn. The gears are connected to the head, causing it to rotate and thus giving the operator the ability to grind materials.
For the angle grinder to run, the operator must send a signal to it. This is done using the power switch. The power switch can signal the angle grinder to turn on or shut off, depending on what the operator wants. The power switch is connected to a plastic bar that slides back and forth. When the operator turns the switch on, the bar slides sending a signal to allow electricity into the electric motor, thus activating the angle grinder. When the operator turns the switch off, the bar slides back into its original position sending a signal to stop sending electricity to the electric motor, thus deactivating the angle grinder.
There is no mass flowing through the angle grinder.
Electrical energy from an outlet enters the angle grinder through a cord. The electrical energy is then sent to the electric motor. The electric motor spins, converting the electrical energy into mechanical energy. The mechanical energy is then sent to the drive shaft where it becomes rotational mechanical energy. The drive shaft channels the rotational mechanical energy to the gear box and into the gears. The gears take this rotational mechanical energy to the head where it can be used to grind materials.
Why They are Connected
The subsystems must be connected in order for the angle grinder to work properly. The power switch is connected to the plastic bar in order for the on/off signal to be received. The power switch is not located at the bottom of the angle grinder where the electricity comes in so the plastic bar is used to send the on/off signal to the correct location. Once the signal is received, the electric motor can beginning converting electrical energy into mechanical energy. The drive shaft connects the electric motor to the gear box. The drive shaft must be connected to the electric motor to be able to rotate, allowing the rotational mechanical energy to be channeled to the gearbox and the gears. The gears must be connected to the drive shaft so they can turn, otherwise the gears won't do anything. The gears then take the rotational mechanical energy to the head, thus allowing the operator to grind materials.

I think these might have been a little smaller than I expected, but the longer I have them, the more I like them. Very cute, exactly as pictured, nice/large monogramming. I bought one for my 3yo and one for my 1yo. The only concern I have is that they seem to be made out of an inexpensive fleece material and I'm not sure how long that will hold up with my little boogers, but time will tell. For the moment, I am very pleased with the product.

This is not a good product. The sizes seem to run a size small. And the show squeeks badly with each step, to the point where I can't wear them in public without apologizing. Not up to Crocs standards.

Not My Favorite
These shoes look good, and are made of nice leather. The sizing is very small, even considering Crocs' variability in size between styles. I ordered a size 13. They are size 13, but seem more like a size 12. I can get them on, but they are not comfortable, and certainly not "relaxed" in fit. I probably won't wear them enough to test their durability. If you are going to try these, I would recommend ordering a whole size larger than normal.

Nice Shoe
This is my first pair of this style. The fit is good based on the fit guide. The shoe is very flat over the instep and is not as comfortable as I had hope for. They are stretching slightly and probably will be more comfortable once they are fully broken in. I do like the style and the color very much.

We love crocs
This is my husbands second pair and he loves them. He is a swim coach and gets them wet on deck all of the time. I wasn't aware they could get wet until he came home one day and said they got wet and dried off quickly. I didn't say anything to him and since this time they have gotten wet on deck many times and they still look great.

NEW HAVEN — If you feel safer talking to your boyfriend on the phone while walking across the Green at night during your journey home, think again.
Following a national trend, about one-third of all muggings and robberies in the city involve cellphones — a phenomenon known in nefarious and law enforcement circles as "Apple picking."
Smartphones — which can be resold by thieves for hundreds of dollars — have become a favorite target, particularly Apple's popular iPhone.
"What you have is a black market for the smartphone, and, in particular, the iPhone," said New Haven police Sgt. Al Vazquez, who heads the detective division.
A newer-model phone can fetch a robber a quick $200 or so at some mobile phone stores that buy used phones with no questions asked. Even at that price, the store can still sell it for a profit, Vazquez said.
But by no means is the problem exclusive to New Haven.
This week, speaking before the International Association of Chiefs of Police, New York Police Commissioner Ray Kelly said thefts of Apple products, including iPhones and iPad tablets, have jumped by 40 percent this year in New York. The release of the new iPhone 5 isn't expected to reduce those numbers.
According to Kelly, were it not for Apple-related thefts and robberies, the overall crime rate in New York City would have fallen so far this year. As it is, the crime rate has increased by about 4 percent.
Even tracking devices, such the Find My iPhone app, offer no guarantee: The tracker won't work when the phone is off, and if a stolen phone isn't password protected, a thief who knows his way around an iPhone can manually disable the feature, Vazquez said.
Some statistics from the Federal Communications Commission might help illustrate the scope of the problem. Continued...
According to the FCC, the percentage of Americans with smartphones doubled in the last year, going from about 25 percent of subscribers to more than 50 percent. Commercial tablets didn't even exist in early 2010, and Apple sold 2 million iPads in one weekend.
"But the rapid adoption of smartphones and tablets is also creating very real safety concerns. The numbers are alarming," FCC Chairman Julius Genachowksi said earlier this year. "In (Washington) D.C., New York and other major cities, roughly 40 percent of all robberies now involve cellphones — endangering both the physical safety of victims and the safety of the personal information on stolen devices."
New Haven Police Chief Dean Esserman said there's certainly a black market for smartphones, but said some of the phones also are being stolen to use, since certain phones convey status. He likened the current issue to problems with car thefts in the 1980s. Police alone didn't cut down on thefts but rather it was a collaboration with the auto industry to install anti-theft devices such as kill switches and, later, newer technology.
He said police will pursue the same type of cooperation from the cellphone industry.
Asked whether the industry was doing enough to combat thefts, Esserman said: "No one is ever doing enough."
"We're going to have to engage the industry," he said.
While it is not yet instituted, the FCC and the four largest wireless carriers are working to create a national database aimed at helping to reduce thefts. The concept is simple: The four carriers will create databases and prevent phones that are reported stolen from being reactivated by a new user.
According to the Wall Street Journal, Verizon and Sprint already block stolen phones from being reactivated, while AT&T and T-Mobile do not.
The hope is that preventing reactivation will drive down black market values, which may serve as a deterrent to criminals.
According to Vazquez, officials from Yale University and the police department tried to create a dialogue recently with Apple corporate offices, perhaps to have employees ask for identification when someone seeks to trade in or wipe the memory of a phone. Continued...
Apple also has worked to build theft deterrents into its devices. In 2009, the company launched a Find My iPhone service that helps users track and remotely lock and wipe devices that have been lost or stolen.
To try to combat thefts, the NYPD set up booths outside Apple stores where gleeful New Yorkers were buying the new iPhone 5 last month, to give owners information on how to activate technology that would help recover lost or stolen phones. Police also registered cellphone serial numbers along with the owners' names and contact information. So far, the department has registered more than 1,500 new phones — and owners can have their items engraved with a unique number prefaced with "NYC."
Authorities say part of the problem is that people are paying too much attention to their phones and not enough attention to their surroundings.
Walking down Broadway recently, Alex McLeod, 18, a Yale freshman, had his head down, tapping on the keyboard of his iPhone. He probably wouldn't do that at night, he said, if he were walking downtown.
At freshman orientation, he said, campus officials cautioned students about "being smart walking around by not showing off their valuables," he said. "A phone certainly is a valuable."

The UK Government's HM Treasury use a budgeting system called COINS. Available from 2010-06-4 at http://data.gov.uk/dataset/coins
The Data COINS stores
The COINS database contains the main high level reports on public spending, including:
- Public Expenditure Statistical Analysis
- Country Regional Analysis
- The Budget
- The Supplementary Budget Information
- The Supply Estimates
- Some of the Office of National Statistics Blue Book
- Some of the Office of National Statistics Pink Book
- The Whole of Government Accounts
For an overview see this blog post by Lisa Evans.
Public Access and Data requests
The COINS database is currently publicly available but before this was the case, several people made Freedom of Information requests to obtain it.
For example, BBC journalist Martin Rosenbaum made a Freedom of Information Request for the data in September 2009.
His request was rejected. In his BBC article, he links to the appeal rejection letter(PDF) from HM Treasury.
Another request for the COINS data was made by the software engineer Julian Todd.
The details we, the Open Knowledge Foundation, obtained about the COINS database are:
- The COINS data fields
- The COINS training materials
- The contract for COINS including the intellectual property rights
Some more details about COINS:
- All accounts on COINS receive a PESA Transfer tag, which indicates the broad economic category of the spending if it leaves the public sector. (point 1 of http://www.hm-treasury.gov.uk/d/cra_guidance_annexc.pdf)

Data presented in this webinar illustrates the value of live cell analysis at the single-cell level to identify differences in expression levels across populations of cells. The cells remain intact for downstream analysis. Our experts also discuss the use of SmartFlare RNA detection probes for the direct quantification of circulating miRNAs with rapid processing of blood plasma/serum, which is done without the use of enzymes. Using circulating miRNAs with established roles in cancer and quality control, we can accurately detect these miRNAs in plasma using a microplate fluorometer within an hour after plasma preparation.

Research Associate Scripps Research Institute
Sandra Pankow is currently a research associate in John Yates' lab at Scripps Research Institute, studying protein-protein interactions involved in cystic fibrosis.
"I'm interested in trying to understand genetic diseases from a systems biology point of view," she says. "I've found that proteomics is the ideal tool for this because it gives the researcher the possibility to investigate thousands of proteins at the same time rather than just having to guess which one or two you should look at."
During her time in the Yates lab, Pankow has worked on developing a new technique for large-scale profiling of protein-protein interactions called co-purifying protein identification technology, or CoPIT. The method uses co-purification of proteins followed by mass spectrometry analysis and bioinformatic processing to identify not just primary protein-protein interactions, but second-degree and third-degree interactors as well.
With it, Pankow says, "we've reached about 30-fold to 100-fold higher sensitivity than previous methods. We're now able to profile an interactome to near completeness."

High-resolution transcriptome maps reveal strain-specific regulatory features of multiple Campylobacter jejuni isolates Dugar, Herbig, et al. PLOS Genetics
The University of Würzburg's Cynthia Sharma and colleagues undertook a transcriptomics-based analysis of the gastroenteritis-causing bacterial species Campylobacter jejuni. The team used its so-called differential RNA sequencing strategy to sequence and compare the transcriptomes of four C. jejuni isolates (three from humans and one from a chicken), applying a new method to automatically annotate transcription start sites in each. "Overall," they write, "our study provides new insights into strain-specific transcriptome organization and [small RNAs], and reveals genes that could modulate phenotypic variation among strains despite high conservation at the DNA level."
Mosaic genome structure of the barley powdery mildew pathogen and conservation of transcriptional programs in divergent hosts Hacquard, Kracher, et al. Proceedings of the National Academy of Sciences
The barley powdery mildew (Blumeria graminis f. sp. hordei) pathogen genome is comprised of chunks of sequence that are particularly rich or replete in polymorphisms, according to a study by researchers from the Max Planck Institute for Plant Breeding Research. The team sequenced the genomes of two Bgh isolates from Europe, comparing each to the barley powdery mildew reference genome. The newly sequenced isolates each contained distinct combinations of sequence blocks with high or low SNP concentrations — isolate-specific mosaic genomes that point to "exceptionally large standing genetic variation in the Bgh population," study authors say. Meanwhile, their transcriptome sequencing experiments offered a look at genes used by Bgh during attempted infiltration of barley or immunocompromised Arabidopsis.

Jazz Fest offers classic, new, big names, rising stars
SARATOGA SPRINGS — This weekend, the Saratoga Performing Arts Center will play host to one of its most popular events, the 35th annual Freihofer's Saratoga Jazz Festival.
A longstanding part of the Saratoga summer experience, this two-day music extravaganza draws jazz enthusiasts from around the country for an event that is regaled as a "happening."
Saturday and Sunday, June 30 and July 1, fans will chill on the lawn and swing in the amphitheater to an eclectic stylistic mix that paints a broad musical portrait capturing jazz's past, present and future.
Saturday's headliner is another Freihofer alumnus, trumpeter Chris Botti. Gaining his initial acclaim as part of Sting's touring band, Botti's success has also transcended the genre.
Adept at a range of styles, Botti's recently released CD, "Impressions," spotlights this as he performs with guests that run the gamut from Andrea Bocelli and Herbie Hancock to guitarists Vince Gill and Mark Knopfler.
Driven by a work ethic that typically puts him on the road 300 days a year, Botti is a consummate showman, something those who recall his 2005 Freihofer's performance can attest to.
Also scheduled to be showcased on the amphitheatre stage on Saturday will be the Mingus Big Band, Mario Abney & The Abney Effect, pianist Michel Camilo's "Mano a Mano" and the eminently funky and ever soulful saxophonist Maceo Parker.
A pair of bass players, Christian McBride and Esperanza Spalding, round out the big stage's opening day roster with the respective groups "Inside Straight" and "Radio Music Society."
Billed as the "Encore Series at the Gazebo," this year's performers on the small stage are all veterans of recent festivals.
According to festival producer Danny Melnick, "This is the first time in the history of the festival we've brought back artists that have previously played there. In that regard, the encore series is really a gift to the festival's longtime fans who have asked us to 'bring back' these artists. This is our way of thanking fans for their continued support." Continued...
Also in keeping with recent tradition, one act each day will perform on both the amphitheater and gazebo stage — Abney on Saturday and Trio of Oz on Sunday.
Rounding out Saturday's small stage roster is trumpeter Jeremy Pelt's Quintet, saxophonist Hailey Niswanger, vocalist Catherine Russell and vocalist/percussionist Pedrito Martinez.
Fans of piano-based jazz will find Sunday to be an absolute smorgasbord of sound. Vocalist/pianist Diana Krall is one of a handful of artists in recent years to cross over and enjoy a high degree of commercial success beyond jazz. Krall's credentials include an unprecedented nine No. 1 Billboard Jazz chart debuts and a pair of Grammy awards for Best Jazz Vocal (1999) for "When I Look In Your Eyes" and Best Jazz Vocal Album (2002) for "Live in Paris."
Supported by Anthony Wilson (guitar), Robert Hurst (bass) and Karriem Riggins (drums), Krall's supple swing and sultry vocals will make for a toe-tapping finish.
Also tickling the ivories on Sunday will be Hiromi as she leads her Trio Project; Rachel Z teams up with Omar Hakim in the Trio of Oz; and Arturo O'Farrill, who will be at the helm of his mighty Afro Latin Jazz Orchestra. Russell Ferrante will also be heard on piano as part of the Yellowjackets.
Sunday also will welcome percussionist Steve Kroon and his sextet, vocalist Sachal Vasandani, the bluesy New Orleans-flavored stylings of keyboardist/vocalist Brian Mitchell and Columbian harp sensation Edmar Castaneda.
Renowned for its music, the Freihofer's Jazz Festival is a family-friendly event where fun, friends and food round out the highly regarded ambience and experience.
Special ground rules will be in effect for the festival. Alcohol will be permitted, although glass containers are not. Also welcome are chairs, lawn umbrellas, blankets and tents (which may be set up in certain areas).
The back lawn will feature a craft tent, which will showcase a variety of artisans from around the Northeast. There will also be a children's craft tent, an assortment of food vendors, free parking and CD signings by some of the artists.

The all US made products store has officially announced that Wigwam will be working with the Made In America Store to give away pairs of socks. The 'Holiday Shopping Giveaway' takes a new vendor each week and gives away some of their signature products to customers that participate.
Elma, New York (PRWEB) December 11, 2012
It's the final week of the Made In America Store's 'Holiday Shopping Giveaway' and the iconic US made products store has announced Wigwam Socks as their final vendor. Consumers are given a week to email the Made In America Store to enter to win free products.
Wigwam Socks and the Made In America Store will pick 5 participants at random for the free socks giveaway. Consumers can enter the contest by emailing the Made In America Store at firstname.lastname@example.com with the subject line "Wigwam". Contestants are urged to include their Name, Phone Number and Address with each entry. The contest will run December 9th to December 15th.
Wigwam Socks and the Made In America Store have been working together since April of 2010 and the partnership has grown astronomically. Wigwam Socks owner, Robert Chesebro and Made In America Store owner, Mark Andol, share the same views on the economy and Manufacturing.
Both Mark and Robert share the same message and goal of "striving to keep manufacturing in the United States and to create and save American jobs." For 107 years, Wigwam has kept its factory in the states and is on its way to being a 4th generation - family owned business. In addition, Robert Chesebro lobbies in Washington D.C. for programs that limit the quantity of products allowed to be imported while still pursuing fair trade policies with other countries.
Wigwam is known for manufacturing the highest quality socks in the industry. It's Ultimax technology moves moisture from the bottom up and is patented to Wigwam. Wigwam isn't limited to one fiber and had many options to choose from when designing and manufacturing their socks. With their manufacturing plant only yards away from the corporate offices, Wigwam has excellent quality control as well.
"We want you to feel good about buying the Wigwam brand because we've set a standard of integrity that we strive to live up to every day," says Robert Chesebro, Owner and CEO of Wigwam Mills Inc. "Since 1905, my family has been committed to our employees, our community and making fine quality socks just for you."
In addition, Wigwam's manufacturing process is environmentally friendly. The state of the art factory has worked with local utility companies to limit their carbon footprint and be more efficient by installing solar panels on top of their facility to heat their water. The water is used to wash the dye from the socks and to heat some of the factory. Also, motion sensory lights were installed to limit the amount of power wasted and needed inside the facility.
The Made In America Store is the only brick and mortar store that sells 100% made in the United States products from over 350 vendors. Consumers can visit http://www.MadeInAmericaStore.com or call 716-652-4872 to get more information or shop our catalog of over 3,500 items. Both Active Duty Military Personnel and U.S. Military Veterans receive a 10% discount every day. Followers of the "Made In America" movement can keep updated with the Made In America Store through Facebook, Twitter, Google+, Pinterest, FourSquare and even their own blog on Wordpress!

Links to HEAD: | (view) (download) (as text) (annotate) |
Sticky Revision: |
changed template escape handler functions to grab data from $r->urlpath instead of @_ for compatability with dispatch_new.
Added rudimentary "Save as" function. This duplicates WW1.9 save as , but does not provide any extra functionality. The following problems remain: The redirect does not yet work correctly. I believe the desired behavior is to view the new saved problem from the editor. There is no easy way to view the new problem or whatever until the problem has been assigned to globalUser in the set.
Made modifications to PG problem editor to allow editing of course_info. Future plans include allowing editing of login_info by the site manager (but not by the course instructors). All files to be edited must lie under the templates directory (for safety reasons.) There are still issues with adequate warnings for saving files when permissions are not correctly set. There is not yet a save as button. --Mike
As best I can determine all "get" commands to the database are now checked and appropriate action (usually "die") is taken if no object is returned. One exception. The multiple "gets" such as getGlobalSets(@setNames) are not checked -- if a given setName is not found is an empty object returned? in the list or is nothing returned? --Mike
Normalized headers. All files now contain the text below as a header. This is important since all files now (a) use the full name of the package, (b) assign copyright to "The WeBWorK Project", (c) give the full path of the file (relative to CVSROOT) instead of simply the file name, and (d) include license and warranty information. Here is the new header: ################################################################################ # WeBWorK Online Homework Delivery System # Copyright © 2000-2003 The WeBWorK Projcct, http://openwebwork.sf.net/ # $CVSHeader$ # # This program is free software; you can redistribute it and/or modify it under # the terms of either: (a) the GNU General Public License as published by the # Free Software Foundation; either version 2, or (at your option) any later # version, or (b) the "Artistic License" which comes with this package. # # This program is distributed in the hope that it will be useful, but WITHOUT # ANY WARRANTY; without even the implied warranty of MERCHANTABILITY or FITNESS # FOR A PARTICULAR PURPOSE. See either the GNU General Public License or the # Artistic License for more details. ################################################################################
Fixed problem in logic which kept an edited problem from reading the .tmp file when the answer was submitted. Now the editMode variable and sourceFilePath variables are passed on as hidden variables by Problem.pm if they exists in the input form. This fixes bug #179 as well as bug #109. The temporary file is now labeled fileName.pg.user.tmp where user is the login name of the person editing the file. If that file exists then pgProblemEditor will attempt to use that as a source file. The revert button forces a read from fileName.pg --Mike
Cosmetic changes to title --Mike
When editing a set header one can not save to a temporary file, (the refresh button is gone) however you can make a permanent change and the result is viewed from the ProblemSet.pm page listing the problems from the set, together with the screen version of the set header. --Mike
Added a link which allows editing of the setHeader Refresh and Save don't yet work because they try to access the set header as problem 0. One fix would be to have Problem.pm display the setHeader whenever it was asked to show problem 0. This involves a fair amount of special case code. Is there are better way? --Mike
Added bread crumbs (path subroutine) along the top of each of these pages. --Mike
now sends editMode=savedFile if the "Save" button is pressed, and doesn't send the "submit_button" parameter.
Added formatting --Mike
Small modifications to correct warning messages when opening the temp file. -- Mike
Filter problem contents before saving to disk to handle line ending problems. All occurences of \r\n and \r are replaced by \n. Began improving the error messages if files cannot not be read.
Replacing hard coding of /webwork/ with $ce->{webworkURLs}->{root} -- Mike
The pgProblemEditor now looks for a global problem record if it cannot find a global_user problem record. -- Mike
Changed explicit references to "/webwork" to the abstract $ce->{webworkURLs}->{root}. If you've been hardcoding "/webwork" into your URLs, you should take a look at the diff to this update to learn the prefered method. -Dennis
Replaced temporary values placed in $self->{ce}->{foo} by $self->{foo} in order to avoid editing the course environment unnecessarily. Fixes bug #35 --Mike
Rearranged the order of functions in PGProblemEditor.pm Removed an extraneous warning from ProblemSetEditor.pm -Dennis
Commented out debugging code in pgProblemEditor --Mike
The pgProblemEditor module now handles the seed and displayMode correctly. -- Mike
Problem Editor now creates a temporary file to edit ( adding .tmp to the file name) Refresh causes a redirect to the Problem.pm with a GET command. Some of the arguments are unnecessary and need to be cleaned up. The seed and display mode in the problem editor are not properly initialized from the problem set. Problem.pm has been modified to check for these arguments and to read the temporary source file, seed and displayMode. These are passed through to a PG.pm object. PG also needed to be modified so that the source_file and seed values are overridden
The problem editor will now edit existing problems in place. You invoke it with http://webwork3.math.rochester.edu:1102/webwork/mth143/instructor/pgProblemEditor/0/2/ and it will edit problem 2 in set 0. It can't edit files directly or create new files. The problems are CHANGED!!! there is no editing in a temporary file-- the problems are changed at every step. BEWARE --Mike
The script now reads takes the form data in problemContents and displays it in a textarea form. If there is no problemContents it reads from the file in template directory. The script is called with .../instructor/pgProblemEditor/set10/prob1 I'm using the current convention for labeling files in the template directory. Using '10' for set10 will not work right at the moment. .pg and the course template directory are combined with the path components to determine the path to the file. It remains to add the rest of the editing buttons and provide a method for saving to the template file. -- Mike
Stub for PGProblemEditor which edits a .pg file -- Mike
This form allows you to request diffs between any two revisions of this file. For each of the two "sides" of the diff, enter a numeric revision.
