Bash scrip to test if a server is up, you can use this before wget'ing a file to make sure a blank one isn't downloaded.
Just after you type enter, you have 3 seconds to switch window, then "texthere" will be "typed" in the X11 application that has focus. Very useful to beat your score at games such as "How fast can you type A-Z".
The `export` is unnecessary if it's only applicable to the one command.
Like the given command, but combines _DISPLAY=":0.0"_ with _export DISPLAY_ to get _export DISPLAY=":0.0"_ and only imports if DISPLAY is set successfully.
This command will transcode a MythTV recording. The target device is a Google Nexus One mobile phone. My recordings are from a HDHomerun with Over The Air content. Plays back nicely on the N1.
Col 1 is swapped sum in kb
Col 2 is pid of process

This is a handy way to circumvent the "Maximum line length of 2048 exceeded" grep error.
Once you have run the above command (or put it in your .bashrc), files can be searched using:
lgrep search-string /file/to/search
Shows how many Windows and Linux devices are on your network.
May add support for others, but that's all that are on my network right now.
Remove security from PDF document using this very simple command on Linux and OSX. You need ghostscript for this baby to work.
A shell function using perl to easily convert Unix-time to text.
Put in in your ~/.bashrc or equivalent.

We can list the new disk with
fdisk -l
The empty file /forcefsck causes the file system check fsck to be run next time you boot up, after which it will be removed.
This works too:
sudo >/forcefsck
Produces secure passwords that satisfy most rules for secure passwords and can be customized for correct output as needed. See "man pwgen" for details.
This is a bit hacky, but if you're setting up a bunch of new LUNs, it can save a bunch of time. Also check out sfdisk. The fdisk will fail if, for example, a partition table already exists.
Works only on Linux.
Last option (n) turn name of service resolving (/etc/services) off.
or you can add "-x" to get a typical hexdump like output
USAGE: gate listening_port host port
Creates listening socket and connects to remote device at host:port. It uses pipes for connection between two sockets. Traffic which goes through pipes is wrote to stdout. I use it for debug network scripts.
you must be in the directory to analyse
report all files and links in the currect directory, not recursively.
this find command ahs been tested on hp-ux/linux/aix/solaris.
notice what happens when there is more than one unread message in a thread...
also people please dont hardcode the password when you use curl. Leave it out and curl will ask you when it runs. Please...?
This command gives you the charset of a text file, which would be handy if you have no idea of the encoding.
Checks the Gmail ATOM feed for your account, parses it and outputs a list of unread messages.
For some reason sed gets stuck on OS X, so here's a Perl version for the Mac:
curl -u username:password --silent "https://mail.google.com/mail/feed/atom" | tr -d '\n' | awk -F '<entry>' '{for (i=2; i<=NF; i++) {print $i}}' | perl -pe 's/^<title>(.*)<\/title>.*<name>(.*)<\/name>.*$/$2 - $1/'
If you want to see the name of the last person, who added a message to the conversation, change the greediness of the operators like this:
curl -u username:password --silent "https://mail.google.com/mail/feed/atom" | tr -d '\n' | awk -F '<entry>' '{for (i=2; i<=NF; i++) {print $i}}' | perl -pe 's/^<title>(.*)<\/title>.*?<name>(.*?)<\/name>.*$/$2 - $1/'
Shell timeout variables (TMOUT) can be very liberal about what is classified as 'activity', like having an editor open. This command string will terminate the login shell for an user with more than a day's idle time.
If you use Linux in a Windows domain and there are N days to expiry, this is how you can change it without resorting to a windows machine.

Panic Attacks
Panic Attacks Overview
Panic attacks are frightening but fortunately physically harmless episodes. They can occur at random or after a person is exposed to various events that may "trigger" a panic attack. They peak in intensity very rapidly and go away with or without medical help.

"Equity is not about equal treatment of all students. Rather, it is about equal outcomes achieved by individualizing the instruction and support for each and every student. Equity is about all students succeeding, especially when measured according to differences such as race, ethnicity, socioeconomic status, gender, language, family background—the list of diversities within our students goes on and on. This effort has been traditionally referenced as "closing the achievement gaps" between students from the dominant White middle-class norm and students from traditionally underserved or oppressed populations. Building equity in education shifts the focus of responsibility for academic achievement from the students to the professional administrators and teachers who are the educators in the school. Students have to do their part, but the adults in the building need to teach in a way so that all students can succeed."

Today I test the new feature about "replication features" of PostgreSQL9.1, First I have installed the Hot-standby of PostgreSQL9.1 successfully. It is not a problem。 What I want to test is that I want to use commond "pg_ctl start promote " to active standby node instead of creating a trigger file 。 Yes, after I excute the commond, the standby node then becomes primary and allow write/read operations。 But the inital primary node can not switchover to the stnadby role automately. I am not usre If PostgreSQL9.1 is able to use "pg_ctl promote" do switchover between primary and standby node 。 Any body will explain this , thanks.

There is no 'demote' option for pg_ctl - if the primary was cold when the standby was promoted perhaps it could be converted to a standby manually, but otherwise it will need a new base backup from the new primary.
The normal reason for switchover would be if the primary has failed so this would not be necessary.

I sipped my orange juice the next morning, after Cassie and my sleepover. She was still in her room. Due to my sleepy condition, I accidentally spilt most of it onto my thin silk sleeping gown, making it translucent. I groaned and put the glass down. My nipple were already hardening because of the cold juice. I walked into her room and put down towels on my side of the bed. Her parents weren't at home, thank GOD. I'd be embarrassed to death. I slept on the towels, lazy to change, and fell asleep.
After a while, I heard sexy sucking and moaning sounds. My nipples were getting sucked by someone. It didn't take long until I found out I was moaning. I opened my eyes sleepily, seeing Cassie. Her mouth was over my orange juice covered sleeping gown, sucking on my nipple. Her hand was kneading the other while her free hand was rubbing her wet pussy.
"Cassie, stop. I'm not a lesbian." I tried to move but then realized I enjoyed her sucking. I moaned loudly, forcing her mouth over my nipple harder.
"You like it, don't you? I know you aren't a lesbian, but i just can't take my hands off of you." She looked up at me and batted her eyelashes. I forcefully pushed her head toward my nipple again. "DON'T STOP!" I screamed.
She sucked harder, enjoying my moaning. I felt my inner thighs get wet, a sign of my horniness. She stopped sucking and kneading me, but kept her own hand on her clit, rubbing it. With her now free hand, she tore my sleeping gown off and tossed it to the ground. My body was still sticky from the juice and I wasn't wearing anything to cover the area between my legs.
"No panties, naughty girl." She sucked on my other neglected nipple while her left hand travels down my stomach to my pussy. It was throbbing for her, wet and ready. She rubbed me with her fingers, using her thumb to stimulate my clit. I moaned and screamed in pleasure. I got wetter, drenching the towels a bit. She stuck in two fingers, making me groan. I used my hands to knead her plush breasts. She moaned for me and rubbed her breasts in my hands. She was still rubbing her own clit at the same time.
She rubbed my clit harder and I came onto her fingers. She pulled them out and sucked on them, making me wet again. Putting her legs in between mine, she slammed her wet, throbbing cunt into mine, making sure to get my cum all over her clit. Soon, she came too, her cum going into my pussy, dripping.
She rolls onto her side of the bed and stretches her legs wide open, revealing her erected clit and cunt. I bent down between her legs and rubbed her, paying attention to her face. Her expressions changed massively everytime I touched her. I used my fingers to part her outer labia and use my tongue to part her inner labia, jabbing her clit and inner pussy. She screamed and writhe. Then, she came again and I swallowed her sweet cum.
I collapsed on her and rubbed my breasts on hers before collapsing. She smiled at me and kissed me.
"I love you."
"I love you too, Cassie. And I love your wet, tight cunt." I went back between her legs, and started my mission to make her collapse under my bare hands.

Fairfax County has won its share of corporate recruiting battles over the years.
Back in the summer of 2010, Fairfax beat out a host of regional and national competitors for defense giant Northrop Grumman's corporate headquarters. The move brought hundreds of well-paid Northrop executives from Los Angeles to Northern Virginia and likely resulted in more than a few sales of high-priced homes, luxury cars and other big-ticket items across the county.
Prior to that, Fairfax reeled in corporate heavyweights such as CSC, SAIC, Volkswagen North America and Hilton North America. All have contributed mightily to the county's bottom line and, perhaps most important, its growing international brand.
All of that said, Fairfax County's most important recruiting battle is the one being waged right now over the new FBI headquarters. Virginia's biggest competitor is clearly Maryland, where officials are touting several different sites to potentially house the 11,000-plus employees who will work at the consolidated headquarters.
Based on a recent press conference attended by just about every elected official from Fredericksburg to Fairfax, Virginia is certainly taking the challenge seriously. Both of Virginia's senators, as well as four U.S. representatives whose districts cover Fairfax, Loudoun, Prince William and Stafford counties, gathered in Arlington on Jan. 9 to tell the world they are laser-focused on bringing the FBI across the river.
Landing the billion-dollar project won't be easy. Most view Maryland as the odds-on favorite and there's one very strong reason for that. Democratic Senator Barbara Mikulski (D-Md.) happens to sit atop the all-powerful Senate Appropriations Committee and is on record as backing Prince George's potential bid. Another Maryland-based power broker, No. 2 House Democrat Steny Hoyer, is also backing the P.G. site.
Last week's gathering in Arlington was primarily called to ensure that the FBI's future site is decided on its merits and not by plum committee assignments or years served in the U.S. Senate.
"We feel very confident that as long as this decision is made on the merits, Virginia will be successful,"said Sen. Mark Warner (D-Va.).
Warner's case is certainly strong. Virginia is already home to a large number of FBI employees and many FBI facilities are located in the state. It's also worth noting that the CIA is located in Langley. In fact, no area in the country has a more established mix of homeland security, defense-related and law enforcement-related facilities than Northern Virginia.
At the moment, Virginia officials have identified six potential sites — Herndon, Dulles Airport, Fort Belvoir, Dumfries, Quantico and Fairfax County's preferred site, a GSA-owned warehouse property near the Franconia-Springfield Metro Station.
The unified front Virginia officials presented last week was well-timed and well-executed. The House of Representatives has not yet voted on criteria for the headquarters, so establishing a set of ground rules on the front end — as last week's meeting achieved — should go a long way when a decision is made in the coming months.

|The New Food Processor Bible: 30th Anniversary Edition
by Norene Gilletz
The re-issuing and updating of a cookbook, in celebration of its thirty year anniversary, is a testament to both the original book and its author. Especially an author who stays current with culinary trends, listens to the requests and feedback of her readers, and is still very active in the industry. Such a person is Norene Gilletz – author of nine popular cookbooks, culinary spokesperson and consultant, food writer, speaker, recipe developer, owner of her company Gourmania Inc.– and author of the recently published, The New Food Processor Bible: 30th Anniversary Edition.
According to Norene, "The food processor has revolutionized the way we cook and eat", and we agree. From her first introduction to the food processor to present time, this kitchen tool has played a major role in Norene's recipes and cooking habits. Norene published her first food processor cookbook, The Pleasures of Your Processor, in 1980. This bestseller is currently out of print but copies can be found via the internet. Over the years, the food processor evolved, cooking trends and ingredients changed and Norene kept pace. In 2002, she wrote her second food processor cookbook, The Food Processor Bible, which was a revision of her first processor cookbook and reflected the changes in cooking trends that occurred over the intervening years.
As is her talent, to embrace and change with the cooking times, Norene has stayed true to her love of the food processor and has written an updated version of The Food Processor Bible. Released March 15, 2011, The New Food Processor Bible, 30th Anniversary Edition, contains up-to-date information on the newest generation of food processors. The first two chapters set the tone for the book and contain a treasure trove of processor related information: tips on choosing a food processor, specific processor features, the different blades and disks and their usage, a chart for preparing baby food, and a Smart Chart that lists foods and the corresponding blade or disk usage.
Norene has updated her old recipes (they are now new!), added 65 new recipes that reflect "the way we cook and eat today", and included many dairy-free, gluten-free and vegetarian alternatives. The New Food Processor Bible, 30th Anniversary Edition contains over 600 kosher recipes,wonderful food tips and recipe variations, and a nutritional value analysis accompanies each recipe.
KosherEye loves the food processor and featured the Cuisinart Elite Series food processor. Everything we need to help us use the food processor to its fullest potential is in The Food Processor Bible, 30th Anniversary Edition. The recipes are geared for today's busy cook and none of them are too time consuming or involved. All the recipes you will need to plan a complete menu (or just one dish) using a food processor, are contained in this fabulous cookbook, including challah.
The book is aptly named – it is our go-to bible for food processor cooking – and we recommend it as a KosherEye "gift yourself, gift others" selection.
Norene shared her cooking philosophy with us: "It's often said that cooking is a labor of love. With the help of your food processor, you can eliminate much of the labor – and that sure works for me! " Read more of A KosherEye Chat with Norene Gilletz.
Enjoy the following three recipes from her new cookbook: Mom's Caponata, Nanaimo Crunch Bars and Florentine Noodle Kugel.
Visit Norene's website Gourmania.com. The New Food Processor Bible: 30th Anniversary Edition is available on Amazon.com.

Is anyone out there really good with Photoshop or do you know someone who's really good? If so, I have a relatively simple (ie, one image) job for you/them. I need to take a picture of myself and photoshop it to look both old-style (ie, 1700s) in terms of dress and awesome in terms of things that I have with me in the picture. For instance, I probably want to add a falcon, maybe a parrot, definitely a cigar or pipe, probably some sort of fine alcohol, a diamond-encrusted gold telescope in the background, etc. It basically has to be ridiculous. This is somewhat like what I'm talking about:
The differences are that mine needs to be way more badass, more classical in terms of dress, more accessories and possibly not lying down (although I am open to the idea).
So basically, if you or someone you know is good at doing that sort of thing, I will get a friend to take the original picture and we can go from there. This will ultimately be used to get a portrait painted so it needs to be decent resolution but it doesn't have to be super high res. Thanks!
Feel free to reach me via my contact page or directly via gmail at the username natarem.

21st Century Community Learning Centers Program (21st CCLC) - Overview
The 21st Century Community Learning Center is a federally funded program supported by the New Jersey Department of Education for out-of-school time programs in New Jersey, which include before-school, afterschool or summer.
What is the 21st Century Community Learning Centers Program (21st CCLC)?
Under Title IV, Part B of the Elementary and Secondary Education Act, as amended by the No Child Left Behind Act of 2001, effective FY 2003, the 21st Century Community Learning Centers (21st CCLC) programs are defined as centers that offer academic, artistic, and cultural enrichment opportunities to students and their families when school is not in session. The primary goal of the 21st CCLC Program is to supplement the education of children who attend low-performing schools and live in high-poverty areas with academic, artistic and cultural enrichment during out-of-school time hours, so that they may attain the skills necessary to meet state core curriculum content standards. In addition, the centers must offer literacy and other educational services to the families of the participating students.
What is the intent of the legislation?
According the to legislation, the 21st Century Community Learning Centers Program is intended to: 1) create community learning centers that provide academic enrichment opportunities for children, particularly students who attend high-poverty and low-performing schools, to meet the state's Core Curriculum Content Standards in core academic subjects; 2) offer students a broad array of enrichment activities that can complement their regular academic programs before and/or after-school or during hours when school is not in session; and 3) offer literacy and other educational services to families of participating students.
What are the key elements of the New Jersey 21st CCLC Program?
The 21st CCLC legislation and the New Jersey Department of Education require a number of key elements and features to be implemented in all local projects. They include:
- Serve students in grades 4–12 who primarily attend schools eligible to participate in Title I schoolwide programs or students who attend schools that serve a high percentage of students from low income families and the families of those students.
- Implement activities that promote parental involvement and family literacy.
- Implement activities within the following categories: remedial education and academic enrichment learning programs; mathematics and science activities; arts and music educational activities, entrepreneurial educational programs; tutoring services and mentoring programs; programs that provide after-school activities for limited English proficient students that emphasize language skills and academic achievement; recreational activities; telecommunications and technology education programs; expanded library service hours; programs that promote parental involvement and family literacy; programs that provide assistance to students who have been truant, suspended or expelled, to allow students to improve their academic achievement; and drug and violence prevention programs, counseling programs and character education programs.
- Develop and/or infuse character education into program activities.
- Operate programs accordingly:
- Programs that propose to incorporate a before-school component during the academic year must operate for at least one (1) hour per day, five (5) days per week and conclude before the school day begins.
- Afterschool programs are required to operate for at least three (3) hours per day, five (5) days per week, during the academic school year. Afterschool programs must commence when the school day officially ends.
- Summer programs are required to operate for at least four (4) hours per day, five (5) days per week.
- Programs that propose to operate on weekends and/or other non-school days are required to operate a minimum of four (4) hours per day.
- Programs must offer a nutritious snack that meets the requirements of the United States Department of Agriculture (USDA) National School Lunch program for meal supplements.
What are the core services of the 21st CCLC Program?
The core services of a 21st CCLC program must be those services and/or activities that advance student achievement using the 12 program categories outlined in the federal guidance and be offered during out-of-school time hours. Out-of-school time programs should reflect a commitment to promoting knowledge, skills and understanding through enriching, hands-on and creative learning opportunities that do not extend, but complement the school day. The core services can fit into four main categories:
Academic Enrichment: Remedial education activities that provide additional assistance to students to allow them to improve their academic achievement; tutoring in core academic subjects such as mathematics and science education, etc. ; activities for students who are limited English proficient that emphasize their language skills and academic achievement.
Enrichment Activities and Recreation: Activities that complement students' academic learning by allowing students to engage in more creative activities such as art, music, dance, recreation and cultural activities.
Family Literacy and Enrichment Programs: Literacy and other educational services that assist parents and families of participating children in becoming full partners in the education of their children for increased parental involvement and positively impact the family members 'ability to engage in interactive literacy activities.
Support Services: Services that target drug, violence, and other youth prevention programs, and character education programs. Students and their families are linked to community outreach services and are provided with opportunities to engage in service learning activities and access to adult education resources.
How many 21st CCLC Programs are there in the state of New Jersey?
Currently, there are fifty-two (52) 21st CCLC programs funded through the New Jersey Department of Education, with a regional distribution of twenty four (24) programs in the Northern region, eleven (11) programs in the Central region, and seventeen (17) programs in the Southern region of the state. These grantees will provide services to over 21,900 youth between 4th & 12th grade for the 2013-2014 program year. Additionally, they represent approximately twenty-four (24) school districts, two (2) charter schools, nineteen 19 community-based agencies, four (4) institutions of higher education, one (1) non-public school, one (1) for-profit agency and one (1) faith-based organization.

The "stand your ground" laws in Florida — the same template used for almost identical laws in Ohio and other states — resulted in the not guilty verdicts that many see as unjust in the trial of George Zimmerman.
At its most basic level, Zimmerman armed himself and ignored police when he killed Trayvon Martin, who was walking home unarmed after buying a bag of Skittles and a soft drink at a neighborhood store. That's what happened. Florida law — and Ohio law — make it legal to kill, but not right.
These laws provide vague and codified terms to the intensely complicated act of killing and render almost any outcome in such cases — and potentially in less similar cases — the same as the verdicts that found Zimmerman not guilty on both manslaughter and murder charges July 13.
Ohio and 24 other states have "stand your ground" laws modeled after the same legislation Florida lawmakers used to enact its state law that provides a path to justifiable homicide with the weakest of circumstances. Trayvon was a teenager, who was walking home to his father's house when he was killed.
At its most intense center, these laws are derived from good, if fearful, intention, wrapped into the always difficult American system of courtroom justice. The national GOP successfully pushed the legislation inside state capitals across the country, but the outcome is not what these lawmakers likely intended.
"Stand your ground" laws are emotionally opportunistic, destructive, and create situations to kill and glory in the killing.
The president of the Sandusky chapter of the NAACP offered readers his reaction after Zimmerman verdicts were announced.
"Try to imagine the situation reversed, if a black man shot a white teenager on his way home in his neighborhood," Jim Jackson said. "There would be outrage among everyone. What it comes down to is the question: 'Is racism dead in America?' Obviously it's not."
We're hard-pressed to see any plausible argument to refute what Jackson, and others, have said. We hope the Sandusky branch of NAACP, other Ohio chapters, the national NAACP, the ACLU, residents and legislators unite for repeal, to remove these laws.

Cumbria health trust orders 'dusty' pictures removed from Millom hospital
Last updated at 13:01, Friday, 22 February 2013
A Cumbrian health trust has ordered that pictures be removed from the walls of a Millom hospital for health and safety reasons.
Pieces of art which once decorated the dining room area of Millom Hospital have been removed as they do not meet with infection control standards.
Millom Hospital League of Friends, which raises money for the centre, has been asked to rehome the pictures, after a cleanliness inspection found they caused dust to gather.
A spokeswoman for Cumbria Partnership NHS Foundation Trust, which runs Millom Hospital in Lapstone Road, said: "The trust has removed pictures which were hanging in the dining room of Millom Hospital because they did not comply with infection control standards.
"The matter was highlighted during a cleanliness inspection and other pictures throughout the hospital do comply with these standards.
"The pictures were not fixed to the wall and were in some cases canvas, making them very difficult to clean and they caused dust to gather.
"We have asked the League of Friends to meet with us to choose some pictures to be re-framed. Some of these pictures were painted by patients and also include photos of previous staff and members of the League of Friends which we feel will have a more meaningful, local flavour."
Reg Heathcote, chairman of the Millom Hospital League of Friends, described the move as bizarre, and added: "We thought it was a strange request to remove the pictures from the hospital owing to dust.
"Some of the pictures have been there for many years and provide an insight into the hospital's history. But we must accept what the NHS recommends."
Several of the pictures carried dedications and have either been returned to relatives or donated to the Millom Discovery Centre to display.
But one picture – a floral crochet design – has left Mr Heathcote stumped. The dedication reads "In memory of John Bradley".
If anyone recognises the description or is a relative of Mr Bradley they can call Mr Heathcote on 01229 773769.

Have your say
what about thanking the staff for all the hard work and care that they give instead of concentrating on DUST!! many families would be lost without the serivce they provide !!!
Furness General maternity ward in meltdown, Whitehaven hospitals higher than average death rates and the local Health Trust wastes its time and precious resourses implementing silly elf&safety rules, one could maybe just maybe understand if these pictures were on the wards but these were sited in the dining room where god forbid they also found cutlery/ tables/chairs/ and other furniture, have these items also beeen earmarked for removal, you know when a countries finished by the number of jobsworths it employs.

Excellent Speakers and Best Sound 1 out of 3 people found this helpful Was this review helpful? Yes No Worth they money/ value performance Written By Shade, Elkhart KS on Friday, November 09, 2012 Crutchfield Customer Review (What's this?) These speakers sound considerably better than the stock speakers in the door of my 03 Silverado. If you have the ability to cut metal, it is about an hour project to put these in. If you are going to pay someone big bucks to install these, don't, spend the install money on more expensive speakers that fit. They sound good with my Alpine stereo, but they are not a substitue for adding a sub. They add bass, but do not add punch. Overall if you want an upgrade, are not afraid of cutting, and want to save money, buy these speakers. If you are an audiophile with demanding tastes, then get out your wallet. I am pleased with the speakers and do not plan on changing them, although I might be adding a sub in the future. Pros: Inexpensive, upgrade from stock. Good sounding speakers. Cons: Moderate installation skills required. Not a substitute for a sub. 1 out of 1 people found this helpful Was this review helpful?

The only problem I had was that the room, while bigger, was still was too small for this event.

Yeah, the room was way too small. This may be due in part to the fact that we've outgrown the Marriot, but when we get over to the HBG convention center I hope we can have a room at least the size of the dealer's hall or main events. To have people who have gone through ALOT of TROUBLE to get showered, dressed, masked etc. waiting in the hall against the wall for over and hour+ is not cool. I got in the masquerade line 45 minutes early so I could get in for sure, but I felt terrible for all those stuck out in the hall, dressed to the nine's and unable to attend. I sincerely hope they all at least got a chance to come in, although I'm pretty sure they did not. I know I'd be pissed.
So, while I know it could not be helped for this year, much bigger room next year please?

That one guy from that show and the character from that movie that came out a few years ago.
Also, there needs to be a clear separation of where dancing will occur and where socializing will occur. There wasn't, and it made the room a straight up cluster. It was difficult to navigate at most times.
Sadly, one thing that may be beyond control that disappointed me were the number of wallflowers that weren't dancing, weren't conversing, and barely moved for the time I spent in there. Whereas these people seemed bored and unwilling to join the event, people were stuck in the hallway for up to or over an hour with no ability to enjoy the event.
I loved the event because I got to dance with friends and random people I asked a lot.
Only had a few issues...
-The Theme: Didn't seem too formal in my opinion. Personally didn't like the Minecraft theme.
-The Room: It did have a larger room than last year, but I guess there was more people attending it than suspected. Just a larger place for it and it'll be fine.
-Music: I don't mind a mix, but all I mainly heard was fast paced music. I rather like slower paced music and was expecting more waltz music.
These are mainly opinion based on my end, others may have a completely different opinion than I.

I have the same complaints like everyone else...and a complaint thats just my bad luck. but CMON REALLY?! U play princess tutu when im NOT her and play it when im Anastasia! This year was vice versa!! UR KILLING ME HERE! Dx
yeah my main complaint was the line, we waited for an hour in high heels, by the time we got in my feet were hurting too much to dance. there were also too many wallflowers that were not dancing at all while there was a long line of people who wanted to dance waiting outside.
Arriety - 100% done
Parasoul from Skullgirls- 100% done
Usagi Tsukino- 100% done
Princess Peach Masquerade 90% done
Yaye for song list! There was a gorgeous waltz on there that I've been dying to hear again, thanks, Britt!
My complaint was the "theme." Balamb Garden's ball? Princess Tutu? Sailor Moon? Ouran HSHC's ball? And we got Minecraft? I facepalmed when I saw the Creeper cut-out. But I still took some gravel to give to a friend back home.
The music? I loved it. Seeing my friends make complete fools of themselves trying to dance to Zoot Suit Riot almost made me pee myself.
Wallflowers? I tried to get a few off the wall, including someone I BROUGHT WITH ME, but they were pretty obstinate this year. I did get asked to dance a lot, which was nice
Let's get some more chairs maybe, next time, and be more efficient with the space to decorations ratio. Minecraft blocks take up too much space, they could've at least been sturdy enough to sit on.
They did make packing for the trip home a lot easier, so thanks for that
Also, I didn't forget about it, I just didn't mind the wait.

Oh man that line....
We were not expecting THAT many people. Actually, the con itself wasn't expecting that many people. We were originally going to have a little bit larger room, but about 3 weeks before the con, the hotel made Dave move a ton of rooms around for safety purposes. So we ended up where we did.
Luckily, next year we get a hotel upgrade and with that I would assume a room upgrade to go with it.
As for a theme, we are already popping ideas around and chances whatever we choose will be a little bit more formal. The cons theme just asks for it!
We really apologize for that line. I know you guys had to wait a long time, but I also appreciate that you stuck by it. You were all so lovely!
The main complaints I heard from people were the line, the theme, half of the music selection, the size of the room, and people I saw in proper former wear (according to the pre-convention unmodified rules) having been turned away (with this last point being a major stickler of mine in regards to the event).
I did not attend it myself due to the line, though, so I am only passing along what I saw and heard as a staff member.

Something else to argue is that while the original room in comparison to the inside area last year is bigger...we also had a large patio last year, where people could go to converse. I actually would believe with the patio area included, we had more room last year than this year.
I'll add a little more since I have slept a bit since the con
I think it was an improvement from the first year, but I will totally make sure to have more slower songs spread out for everyone next year. I had a few more towards the end, but due to time constraints had to drop them.
Starting on time:
Well...we would have started on time however things just didn't turn out as planned. The panel before us went way over. We had asked for the full three hours to prep, but we didn't get started until at least 30 minutes late. Sadly we really needed those 3 hours XD
We worked as fast as we could, but it still started a bit later than planned.
I want to send a big thanks to the lovely ladies of Texas Musume. After the masq. they came in and randomly helped us break boxes down and clean up. Super awesome!
Masq. Attire Rules:
Next year, as we make changes we will make 100% sure to get the website updated with the rules. Most of our changes took place in the forums. I would make sure to highlight anything new in red. The large printed copy that was in front of the room had been printed a bit prior to the convention so didn't reflect the most updated info. We will make sure to have it updated for next year.
I think we plan to have a section for children and a section for those with various special needs or circumstances.
As I said there was some room moving around last minute, and while it still wasn't quite large enough to handle the amount of people we had, it was our best option. We would either be back to back with the Main Events room and competing with the sound from the concerts with only an air wall for separation, OR we would have had the room we had last year. While it was nice to have a the terrace for people to converse, the constant opening of the doors made the room extremely hot. We had a ton of people have to leave last year because of the heat.
So yes, while it wasn't the most ideal room ever....it really was the best option for us to host the masq. in.
Of course next year we will hope for a much bigger room! :P
We wanted to go with something a little less traditional, but still nerdy. While it was certainly non-traditional I think the Minecraft theme went over well for the most part.
Next year however, I would expect you'll see something a bit more formal. As I said, we have been throwing around ideas already. It really just boils down to what kind of room we end up with.
I have to agree with Pablo on the attire. I almost got thrown out of line because I wasn't in dress shoes but Dress Boots. And really? your goning just judging a person because they tried their best to sew something formal and your gonna turn your nose up at them.
Please be less cruel to those who are learning to sew. going elitist will only turn them away from sewing their own garments.Cheap-looking fabric, inappropriate/torn up shoes, wrinkled/crumpled garments, and ratty-looking tangled wigs, for example, can ruin an otherwise lovely ensemble. For example, if your dress is a nice cut and of very nice-looking fabric (satin, taffeta, velvet, etc.) but ends just above your knee, we will probably let you in. If your dress is the same length but obviously made out of cheapo fabric (muslin, broadcloth, anything that's fraying, has runs or loose threads) and/or is constructed poorly, we probably won't let you in. We won't be flipping hems, but if edges are unfinished and it isn't ironed, if you've obviously had to tape things together, or if your seams are coming out, you're into unacceptable territory. We will be judging holistically - if your overall outfit looks nice, we may be willing to stretch the rules a little, but if you try to stretch them too much you risk not being allowed in.
in terms of the wallflowers, I was able to help out a few of them and make them start dancing with the other people. Many thanked me for showing them the ropes. I enjoyed myself but please be more lenient next year.
I know we allowed several people in with actual dress boots. We were actually pretty lenient with footwear this year, if you weren't wearing sneakers.
And for those people just learning to sew - if your sewing skills aren't that great and what you've made doesn't look formal, then a formal Masquerade Ball isn't the place to try and show off your newest project. You have lots of options if you can't afford much - go to the thrift store, wear an old prom outfit, wear a dress shirt and slacks or a nice dress (most people have these for job interviews and such). It just needs to be formalwear.
I know a lot of our crew ended up borrowing old prom dresses from each other. That's another option
From what I understand we only turned away maybe 15-20 people at most from that entire line. Those that were turned away were either trolling or completely didn't read the rules. Unfortunately, a few people caused scenes, but that happens. Regardless, even some of THOSE fires were put out and things ended well for both sides. Aside from that, we wanted to allow as many people as we could that fit reasonably within the rules.
I know we really feel terrible about that line - especially you ladies with heals! I don't think there was more we could have done on our end when it came to line length, but what I hope this shows SJ that you really want a formal masquerade which will in turn prove that we need a much larger room to accommodate more of you. If we could, we would have gotten 100+ chairs for all of you to sit on while waiting in line. You all are major troopers!

Im trying to make a picket twister. I'm basically set on my idea of a gear reducer and a electric motor. My question is, does anyone know what kinda of torque it would take to twist .5 square stock? I'd be twisting lengths of 6 feet. I seen one on ebay for about 100 bucks and in has an output torque of 700 foot lbs. Any torque specs would be greatly appreciated. Thanks, Gregory

Picket Twister
I built a human powered one. Its on my second floor and i can twist 16' pcs with ease. I just walk around the twister like a horse tied to a circus ride. Mine has a 3' handle and i use about 30" of it. It doesn't take much effort its more of tiring dizzy motion walking in a small circle because you have to keep pressure on the barstock until done. Someday i may add my 60:1 gearbox/motor to it if i did more with it but i can twist 10 or 15 parts 15" long in about 15 minutes...BobBob Wright, Grandson of Tee Nee Boat Trailer Founder

Picket Twister
I made one using a old pipe threading machine. It is set on a bench I made with a adjustable tail stock,so I can make different lenght pickets. It will twist 1/2 to 3/4 solid square stock like butter. It takes less than 30 seconds to twist a 40" picket. Turn it on and count rotations.
do a search, some one showed off theirs a wile back. great piece of work..thanks for the help
hope i helped
feel free to shoot me an e-mail direct i have time to chat. email@example.com
summer is here, plant a tree. if you don't have space or time to plant one sponsor some one else to plant one for you. a tree is an investment in our planet, help it out.

the old oster machines show up quite often.
somewhere on the interwebs i saw a scroll bender plate adapted to a pipe threader. i cant seem to find it now

The DICKS Sporting Goods Archery Gear Buying Guide
Whether for sport or hunting, take aim with performance-crafted archery equipment from DICKS Sporting Goods.
Experienced and novice archers alike can prep for their shot with the industrys latest recurve, compound and crossbows. Load your weapon with carbon and aluminum arrows and boltsall designed for excellent durability, speed and energy transfer.
Select from high-quality recurve, crossbow and compound bow model:
- Longbows: This most basic bow design is sleek and lightweight for an efficient shot.
- Recurve Bows: Also called traditional bows, these bows have tips that curve away from the archer as they draw. This model stores energy efficiently to deliver greater speed to the arrow. They are easy to handle: compact with slim grips and a smooth draw:
- Crossbows: This system features a bow attached to a stock and lever. When the archer releases the lever, an arrow, or bolt, shoots from the mechanism. These bows have a much greater firing range than that of a recurve bow. They do, however, require more time to load.
- Compound Bows: These bows use a system of cables and pulleys, known as cams, to bend the bows limbs. A cable is attached to each of the bows cams. As the cables draw back, the cams turn to bend the bows limbs. Stiff limbs create significant energy transfer during the draw.
Stock up on gear from popular brands, like Bear Archery®, Barnett®, October Mountain Products and Delta McKenzie®.
Expert Advice
Learn more about the archery equipment available at DICKS Sporting Goods:Arrows & Bolts:
Arrows and bolts come in a variety of weights, lengths and materials.
- Aluminum arrows are highly popular for their strength, flexibility and durability. Carbon arrows are ultra-lightweight for excellent speed and energy transfer.
- Arrow length is critical for safety and accuracy. Arrows that are too short or too long can hinder your ability to hit your target.
- Youth arrows are great for beginners.
Archery Accessories:
Practice makes a perfect shotso get ready for your next hunt with archery targets for your backyard. Go for the realism of 3-D targets or more basic foam blocks, bags and targets.
Think about your bows draw weight. Draw weight denotes the amount of strength required to draw back a bow. Most adult archers can use a bow with a draw weight of 50 to 70 pounds. Youth bows have a much lighter draw weight. Always consult product information before making your selection.
You should also consider the draw length of your bow. To determine the proper draw length for you make a fist with your bow hand and hold it outward, as if you are shooting a bow. Have another person measure the distance from the end of your hand to the corner of your mouth. Select a bow with a draw length near this measurement.
