Frog ... Nuff said.
I honestly don't like it..., the background looks old and crinkled, and well the frog is not in the lines at all, and don't say it is supposed to look like some little kid did it, cause the lines look to nice and crisp....
It IS supposed to look like that It was painted in 10 seconds, I can draw a lot better than that You can see that by looking at the badly-written word "frog" The BG is also supposed to be wrinkled and old.
I really think this is obvious.
I know, just the frog looks to well drawn for the cruddy coloring, if you fix the coloring I'll love it
I can't fix something when it's not wrong, sorry
none the less you could work on rule of thirds! I don't like it btw. but that is up to you.
Am i the only one that actually likes it?
Or am i just too weird? 8O
You're wierd, but so am i! I freakin love it!
Thanks you two
@vT I was also thinking about the RoT, it wouldn't be that much of a problem to change it afterwards .. but yeah of course it's a matter of taste, I was just thinking about a small simple WP without many effects and/or big things in it. I like simple wallpapers, as you can tell by another one I made:
>>Click me!<<
Correction: this has been dobe many times before and though u may want to go for simple u will then have to stick to simple. The text may be arranged in a creative manner but it is certainly mot simple. When i come home i will show an example of what i mean. Sry if i sound rude, that's not the intention just what came to mind first.
Baum, could you make a special maffe version ?
I would like the frog to be in the lower right corner instead.
Could you make it so instead of being X ammount of pixels from the top edge its X ammount of pixels from the bottom edge, and then move it a bit right (no all the way to rule of thirds though) ?
I dont know why, but i like when my wallpapers have their focal in the lower right corner!
Sure, wait a second
There you go, I hope this matches your wishes.
Just flip it!
Screenshots ? What kind of game is it ?
Haha it will be a tower defense, no screenshots yet because my mate stil has to learn the coding etc.
I might post some here when the concept is ready.

The sudden resignation of Rep. Thad McCotter led to a tumultuous Republican primary in Michigan's 11th District, but the fallout may also mean a competitive general election for a seat thought until recently to be safely in the GOP column. At least, that's what Syed Taj is counting on.
The Democratic nominee, a physician and member of the Canton Township Board of Trustees, is optimistic about his chances as he gears up for November. "I think I should be able to win this seat," Taj said. He pointed to Republican division and his own crossover appeal as evidence.
Turnout in the Republican primary exceeded the Democratic contest by nearly 30,000 votes, but Taj doesn't see that as a reason for discouragement. "The voter turnout was not because of the congressional race," Taj said, "it was because of the (GOP) Senate race. " Sen. Debbie Stabenow ran uncontested on the Democratic side of the ticket, while former Rep. Pete Hoekstra faced challengers for the GOP nomination.
Republican nominee Kerry Bentivolio drew considerably more primary votes than Taj, but Taj said the GOP's dissatisfaction with its candidate -- local party leaders recruited former state Sen. Nancy Cassis to wage a write-in campaign for the primary -- show he can pull moderate voters from the Tea Party libertarian in the general election. "The ideas he is floating are not accepted by anyone," Taj said, "Republicans or Democrats. ... I don't think there's a place of extreme views in this district."
He said he's built bipartisan appeal in his time on the township board, serving as an outnumbered Democrat in a Republican-leaning township. The state's Democratic leaders have started providing support, Taj said, now that they see the race as winnable, and help from the Democratic Congressional Campaign Committee may be on the way. "I am on the radar, that's for sure," Taj said.

In this instructable, you'll find how to transform an old broken chair into a stylish customized design chair, using a bunch of newspaper, some glue and iron wire.
I found this one on the street, standing all alone near garbages, and decided to give it a new life. It looks quite correct on the picture, but the tissue was seriously ripped and the (holy stinky) foam allready turning into dust.
Of course, any old chair from your grand parents that you don't use anymore will also do the trick.
I simply used a pair of scissors to rip off the fabric, with the help of a plier to get rid of some staples.
i did a google search for "bottle opener hammer"
then I just painted the whole stuff
in french ;)

Is Burger King really changing its name?
Don't Waste Your Money
Most of us don't believe everything we read.
Then why is it we believe it when a friend shares a piece of surprising information via social media?
Burger King Hoax
Case in point: a Facebook page claiming that Burger King is changing its name to "Fries King."
Burger King, in an effort to create buzz, is apparently behind the Facebook postings that show Fries King signs going up.
It's a hoax.
But people have been sounding off in protest on Facebook, believing the posts. According to the Facebook page , 171,000 people were recently "talking about it."
Sallie Mae Hoax
But that's not the only hoax with legs this week.
A new Sallie Mae Instagram account claimed the first 150,000 people to follow it would have their student loans forgiven.
About 60,000 people decided to follow the quasi-government agency, just it case it was real.
It was not.
Think about it: Would an arm of the government really forgive a $40,000 student loan just for liking a Facebook or Instagram page?
At least these were in good fun, and did not ask for personal information, as some hoaxes do. One such example is the infamous "IQ Tests" scam.
Some ask for your cellphone number, and end up subscribing you to expensive premium text message services.
Treat all postings with skepticism, so you don't waste your money.

Because the cause of inflammatory bowel disease is unknown, there are currently no guidelines for reducing your risk of inflammatory bowel disease.
But, some evidence does suggest that eating a diet high in fiber and fruits may lower your risk of Crohn's disease . And a diet high in vegetables may lower your risk of ulcerative colitis .
As our understanding of the disease grows, your doctor may have more information regarding steps for reducing your risk of inflammatory bowel disease.

Over 70,000 fans flocked to Albert Park today to see all of the action on and off the track at the 2012 Formula 1™ Qantas Australian Grand Prix. Attendance for Day 2 of the four day event was upon last year, with event organisers thrilled at the thousands of fans who passed through the gates.
Racegoers saw the F1 cars hit the track for the first time in 2012. Six world champions in Fernando Alonso, Michael Schumacher, Sebastian Vettel, Kimi Raikkonen, Lewis Hamilton and Jensen Button joined Australia's own Mark Webber and Daniel Ricciardo during the two practice sessions which provided fans with an electrifying taste of what's to come over the weekend.
Attendees also saw the first races of the V8 Supercars Challenge, Formula Ford and the Porsche Carrera Cup which delivered some thrills and spills in the wet conditions. The atmosphere off track buzzed with action including Renault Jet Pack Man, an extreme water stunt show and the RAAF Roulettes Aerial Display.
The action is just beginning!

Exquise is one of my favorite colognes for ladies. It's clean, light and refreshing. Another favorite is Dolce Gabbana's Light Blue which I get the most compliments on for my chemistry. I don't like heavy, spicy or woodsy. I do like soft citrus/floral colognes, a favorite is Jo Malone's Orange Blossom and Trish McEvoy's #6 Nectarine & Ginger Lily. Try them if you like this one.

Did you know that talking on a cell phone for a prolonged period might actually increase brain activity? Cell phones emit energy in the form of electromagnetic radiation and scientists are on a mission to figure out what effects this can have on the brain.
According to Science News, a recent experiment took place where 47 participants had two cell phones strapped against each ear. The phone on the left ear was turned off and the phone on the right ear played a 50-minute message, but was set to silent. Their goal was to study brain activity from the phone itself, not brain activity from listening and engaging in conversation. Scientist used a PET (positron emission tomography) Scan to study the brain activity. The test allows us to see what is going on inside of the body using injections of radioactive material to measure chemical reactions in the brain and creating three-dimensional pictures.
The results of the PET scan showed that the left side of the brain had no changes from the experiment. Conversely, the right side of the brain was using large amounts of glucose, almost as much as a person talking. Glucose is a sugar that provides fuel to the brain. These results allow scientists to conclude that brain cells are active even when the participants hearing nothing. The activity was most likely set-off by the radiation from the cell phone.
The experiment arose from the question "Are there any health risks involve with cell phone usage?" There is still considerable debate, but scientists who believe there are give a few suggestions to be on the safe side:
- Do not talk for long periods of time with a cell phone pressed against your head.
- Keep your conversations short and sweet or use speakerphone.

I am building a two shelf stand to hold two fish tanks, 75 Gallon on the lower shelf and 40 Gallon on the top shelf, This will be about 24" X 6" and about 44" tall. I need the lower shelf to support up to 700 lbs and the top shelf to support 350 lbs. I was going to use square tubing but I need about 60 ft and angle iron is about 1/2 the price. Was trying to find a calculator for load/span/size but had no luck so far.
I was thinking 1 1/4 or 1 1/2 angle 1/8 or 3/16 I would like the top to span the 5 1/2 or 6 feet, the lower shelf I could put extra feet on to lessen the load.
What are your thoughts on size and thickness for this project?
Thanks for the help. Mark Fish Room Plan0001.jpg

The two shelves will be made out of laminated MDF.
Thanks again for your help
I will be welding with a Lincoln 175 Plus with Argon tank, this will be the first project with this welder, last welder was a Century 115V Flux core. Can't wait to try this one out.

Beam deflection formula
Here are links to a site which will help you figure out how much deflection will occur depending on the shape and size of your horizontal members.
The first link gives you the formula for a single load centered between 2 supported ends.
The other links give you the details on how to calculate the moment of inertia for steel angle or square steel tubing.
While the formulas look daunting, you only need to calculate the moment of inertia for the shape (angle or square) you are using.
Then plug this value into the bending formula.
Your use of MDF shelves will help distribute the load but please add their weight to the load calculations.
Good luck

For that design you will want something with moment of inertia of 1 in^4 or higher. To get angle iron that stiff you need something like a 3 x 3 x 3/16 at 3.7 pounds per foot.
A 3 x 1.5 x 1/8 rectangular tube would work also at 3.5 pounds per foot. (Note that you would use this with the 3 inch dimension vertical)
You don't need so many cross pieces so long as the tank is sitting on the stringers. That will save some material.

Just and FYI, the moment of inertia is basically the inertia around an imaginary line where the material stress is zero. When you bend something, parts of it compress, other parts stretch (in your case, the top compresses and the bottom stretches).
Anyway, if you make the top out of sheet metal - say 16 gauge or thicker, it will could add to the moment of inertia. Better seam weld it if you really want it to help. (stitch welding too complicated to model).
Recommend you hit your local college used book store and grab a book on "strengths and materials". You will refer to often and most actually have tables in the back for things like I-beams and regular steel pieces (normal shapes). Most of the math involved is easy - besides, you always err on the safe side.... Next size up in steel etc.Con Fuse!

Comments On May 05, 2013:I have a smaller and odd fitting head and found this helmet to fit and protect extremely well. So far it has not been crash tested in two years but I would expect it to stand up very well. For the record I wear a medium.
Would definitely suggest this helmet to anyone looking for one.

Just as a little intro, I have been welding for hobby projects, for example, I made a homemade trailer out of a military M105A2 trailer bed:
Anyway, I want to get into wire welding a little bit. I recently had a chance to acquire a Miller XMT 300 CC/CV welder. Quite a while ago, I also bought a Lincoln LN-25 wirefeed without a contactor and without a gas solenoid valve.
As a first step, I want to get started with flux core welding without involving gas.
My questions are
1) Is LN-25 compatible with XMT 300 CC/CV?
2) What connector to use between them (I can make my own if you suggest parts). I especially want the wirefeed to tell the welder to turn on and off so that I do not have to buy a contactor (big $$$)
3) What wirefeed units besides LN-25 are compatible with XMT 300 CC/CV?
4) Are there such compelling advantages of gas welding as opposed to flux core, that you would say that it is worth the hassle to upgrade to gas welding?
thanks a lot guys!

Miller XMT 300 CC/CV, what wire feeds to use?
2] Run a remote contactor back to the XMT via the 14 pin receptical[sp that would be a PIA I would buy the contactor.
3] Most all made by Miller, Hobart, Thermal Dynamics and any Voltage sensing feeders.
4] Now this question threw me for a while because all this time we were talking a bout wire feed processes and all the sudden we switch to gas welding as in Oxygen Acetylene Welding, then I realized you didn't know what you are talking about, GMAW and FCAW and OA/FW
Some compelling reasons for GMAW..... no slag, easer to feed than tubular wire,
might be cheaper per pound than ERXXT. ???
FCAW good indoor and out better out. no gas cylinder to lug around.
I have three LN 25's and 1 Miller 12VS EX.
The Miller has a neat trick that keeps the wire feeding with your finger off the trigger, the LN25 has a voltage switch on the front panel that lets you know the polarity at the feed box { handy when the leads come from three stories down**
Unless you will only be working in an enclosed shop I would go the FCAW rout as it will be less expensive.
If you will be in a shop the fumes and slag would force me to go GMAW
As you are not working under third party inspections you need not worry about code compatibility issues.

Thanks a lot. I will start with LN-25. I like its suitcase format. I have a 10 lb spool of flux core welding wire.
By "gas welding", in the context of the thread, I meant gas shielded wire welding. (GMAW). My plan is to start with FCAW first. I work in the garage mostly. I hope that fumes will not be any worse than from stick welding with 7018. (I kind of like the smell)
I would suggest starting with Lincoln NR 211 in the .035 .045 range. This wire is good for up to 1/2" {I think** beyond that go to NR 212 and if you are doing something critical [read life safety] that you would use 7018 on go to NR 232 or 233 or ESAB Core Shield 8
Good Luck and be safeTJ______________________________________

one thing you have to do when using 10# spools on the LN25 is use an empty 10# spool in between the full one and the big plastic nut that holds the spool on, otherwise the spool wobbles alot and when you let off the trigger you get a backlash. if you dont have a empty spool just use a piece of 2" pvc pipe about 2" long till you have an empty spool.WELDCKR

Latest Activity: Apr 29, 2009
Hopefully this will be the 1st of many monthlies to come. The first tee time will be at 1pm, and the rest will be every 9 minutes thereafter. This is a limited event so pre-registration is a MUST. Do not expect to sign-up the day of tourney. Pre-registration will be done by RSVP-ing right here! A "maybe" response will not count, I need a definitive answer. The monthlies will be available to all divisions at roughly the same cost as Morley monthlies plus your greens fee. The format will be 2 rounds of nine holes from different pads. Tee times will be posted the day before on Saturday 4/25. We need at least 20 people to sign up, but no more than 35.

Having just missed out at the last race in Abu Dhabi, Romain Grosjena is determined to return to the podium in Austin...
Having just missed out at the last race in Abu Dhabi, Romain Grosjena is determined to return to the podium in Austin.
The Lotus driver has had an impressive run of late that included three successive podium finish. However, that came to an end last time out in Abu Dhabi where the Frenchman could only manage fourth under the lights.
"I think I was around a second behind [Nico] Rosberg at the end and I'd been catching him pretty well during the final few laps, but we just didn't quite have the pace to get close enough before the flag," he said.
"It's a shame we couldn't make it four podiums in a row, but when you remember the issues we had in FP2 and qualifying in Abu Dhabi I think to come away with fourth place is a decent result.
"On race pace alone we could maybe even have pushed Mark [Webber] for second place, but that's how it goes sometimes and I think we got the maximum we could from the race."
Grosjean is now determined to make amends next weekend when Formula One heads to the Circuit of the Americans for the United States Grand Prix.
"We're certainly aiming for the best performance we can get; let's see what happens.
"It's quite a balanced circuit in that you don't need one particular thing over another for the car to perform well, but it should be a circuit where the E21 can go strongly once again. Last year the challenge was finding the level of grip we wanted and I expect this to be a challenge again.
"The tyre allocation is quite hard so you really have to work the tyres to get them in the best performance window.
"We expect warmer temperatures this year which will help and the track surface will have changed a bit from the very new surface we had last time. All in all, I think we have potential to go quite well."

Best Uses
Yes I LOVE these socks! They are warm! I was hoping they go to my knee, but they are within inches of it so they will work. I drive a school bus so I'm up early in the morn in the COLD of winter pre-tripping my bus and I do my best to stay warm. These are GREAT! I have already recommended them to other drivers having the same problem as I. That is finding long warm socks! I plan on purchasing more. I bought 2 pair to start and I'm washing them all the time so I can where everyday. VERY CUSHY also! No sweaty stinky feet!! I hope you ENJOY yours! they are well worth a try!
Best Uses
I bought these socks to go under my composite-toed work boots, and to keep my feet warm. When the temperature got down into the twenties, they couldn't quite keep up, but they did a decent job. Also, I walk around inside the house, and out in the yard in them (when the boots come off, I just can't put another pair of shoes on) and they haven't shown any wear.

Does the Internet Make Us Dumber? Or Smarter? Or Both?
Posted on June 21, 2010 by Heather Snow — 2 Comments
Over on my Facebook page I've been playing host to a weekend-long debate, which has evolved into a discussion worthy of it's own blog post.
The question: Are we dumbing down as a culture? And if so, what role does media play?
Cited: 3 dueling op-eds
- Does the Internet Make You Dumber? WSJ, Nicholas Carr quotes the Roman philosopher Seneca: "to be everywhere is to be nowhere," arguing that the hyperlinked structure of the internet contributes to a persistent state of distraction which, research indicates, hampers deep thought and, along with it, retention of information and absorption of knowledge.
- Mind Over Mass Media, NYT, Stephen Pinker argues that new forms of media have always caused panics (the printing press, newspapers, television, paperbacks), but such panics fail reality check. The oft-bemoaned perception that we are dumbing down as a culture is not supported by evidence to the contrary, such as the modern output of scientific innovation.
- Does the Internet Make You Smarter? WSJ, Clay Shirky references historical disruptions in culture fueled by new media evolutions (the Protestant Reformation, fueled by print) to illustrate the pattern of initial break-down of cultural/intellectual norms followed by an explosion of new creative outputs which raised societies to a new level.
The debate sub-streams
- To what extent does media contribute to the dumbing down of a culture? Or does it? Or is it the symptom of a dumbed down culture? Evidence to support the "dumbing down" hypothesis is seen in the insipidness of so-called "Reality TV," the political and cultural extremes cultivated by and reinforced by news agendas (FOX) and the 24-hour news cycle, and the persistent distraction we suffer from as a result of our hyperlinked, short-form internet and social media behaviors. Does media fuel this, or is it merely a mirror reflecting the culture as it is? Or is it a distorted mirror, reflecting culture at the edges?
- Why are there so few culturally and politically meaningful comedians compared to two to three decades ago? Who are the Lenny Bruce, George Carlin, Richard Pryor of today? (John Stewart and Stephen Colbert of course…) Is this evidence of a cultural dumbing down? Or is it evidence simply of the business-minded Hollywood machine which has optimized to produce pulp for the masses rather than the edges?
- And what about the role of education and critical thinking? One could argue that all three of the op-ed author's arguments about the impact of the internet and social media on us as a culture are accurate — the internet, like all media, is simply an amplifier — widening the gap by which the dumb are becoming dumber, the smart, smarter. But isn't it really an issue of critical thinking abilities and the willingness to apply them? Is this skill being taught more or less than a generation or two ago? (remember McCarthyism?) Does classical education or internet-enabled knowledge assimilation contribute more or less to one's ability to absorb and [critically] process knowledge?
The meta: the medium is the message
Interestingly, the discussion is in many respects an example of "the medium is the message" at play:
- Living room —> Web —> Facebook. The conversation originated in my living room as a wine-sotted debate between my husband and our neighbor, crossed over onto social media when I opened my laptop to hunt down the NYT op-ed as my contribution to the debate, then posted on Facebook.
- Internet-facilitated connection of culturally and geographically dispersed nodes. Once on Facebook, the discussion then drew in an individual from my hometown (whom I hadn't spoken to in 20-years, aside from him friending me on Facebook), my husband (sitting across the room from me debating with me on Facebook from his iPhone), a martial arts buddy from across the country and a couple work colleagues from opposite coasts.
- Facebook's alienation of "professional creators" via sketchy privacy and copyright policies. Meanwhile my neighbor exited the debate completely once he walked across the street and went home because, as a professional photographer, he wants nothing to do with Facebook and its questionable privacy and copyright issues.
So what do you think? Are we dumbing down as a culture? And does the internet and social media play a role?

|Draft Horse Days at Billings Farm
Copyright © 2010 Billings Farm & Museum
As mentioned below, if you are visiting the Quechee Balloon Festival today or tomorrow, I recommend a trip over to nearby Woodstock. It's one of my favorite towns in Vermont. And one of my favorite places in Woodstock is the Billings Farm and Museum, a beautiful facility.
This weekend, Billings Farm is holding Draft Horse Days from 10:00 to 5:00 both days. There will be demonstrations and activities showcasing Billings Farm's draft horses, including traditional fieldwork, horse shoeing, horse-drawn wagon rides. Draft horses teams will demonstrate plowing, planting, cultivating, and mowing in the farm fields during narrated programs at 11:00 a.m., 1:00, and 3:00 p.m. each day.
Each morning will begin with braiding the horse's mane and tails. There will also be shoeing demonstrations on the farm's Percheron, making horseshoes, and rope making. Children can learn how to make clothespin horses, take part in hobby horse races, and play Pin-the-Tail-on-the-Horse.
Billings Farm is well worth the visit not only for the Draft Horse Days but also for their everyday displays plus work that goes on the farm such as cow milking. It's a great place for children and for adults who would like to witness and learn about farm life.
Admission: adults: $12.00; 62 and over: $11.00; children 5-15: $6.00; 3-4: $3.00; under 3: free.

|Quechee Balloon Festival June 18 - 20
One of central Vermont's most popular events is taking place this weekend. The 31st annual Quechee Balloon Festival features about 20 hot air balloons which launch twice a day at 6:00 a.m. and 6:00 p.m. In some cases, they can accommodate passengers and there will also be tethered balloon flights. About 60 craft vendors are there and there is music, food, and children's activities.
The deepest gorge in Vermont is located in Quechee and the town is known for its antique stores and shopping opportunities.
While you are in the area, I recommend a visit to Woodstock VT, one of the most picturesque villages in New England. Woodstock is located a short drive west on Route 4 from Quechee.

|Magic Hat Presents World's First Twitter Pub Crawl?
If it's not the world's first Twitter Pub Crawl, it definitely is Burlington VT's first. And who else but Magic Hat would put on such an event.
It's scheduled for April 22, 2010 at 7:00 pm and it is structured as a team event. Throughout the night each four person team will receive clues from Magic Hat via Twitter on which pub to go to. At the end of the night, Magic Hat will check each team to see if they made it to each pub. The names of all the successful teams will be put in a drawing to determine the overall winner. Each person on the winning team gets the top prize of a round trip ticket from JetBlue to wherever the airline flies.
All proceeds will go to The Committee on Temporary Shelter (COTS). The cost to each team is just $5 per person. Also,the entry price includes one of the coolest looking T-shirts I have seen in a long time. That alone has to be worth a lot more than $5.
Round up three other drinkers, er, friends, and help Magic Hat, JetBlue, and COTS with this first of its kind event. Who knows, maybe years from now it will the equivalent of saying you were at Woodstock.

Gellért Baths
The Gellért Baths and Hotel was built in 1918, although there had once been Turkish baths on the site, and in the Middle Ages a hospital. In 1927 the Baths were extended to include the wave pool, and the effervescent bath was added in 1934. With its immaculately preserved Art Nouveau interior, including colourful mosaics, marble columns, stained glass windows and statues, this is without doubt the most beautiful bathing complex in Budapest.
Széchenyi Baths
The Széchenyi Baths are one of the largest bathing complexes in all Europe, and the only "old" medicinal baths to be found in the Pest side of the city. The indoor medicinal baths date from 1913 and the outdoor pools from 1927.
Lukács Medicinal Baths
The Lukács Baths are Turkish in origin and located in the Buda side of the citygin, although they were only revived at the end of the nineteenth century. This was also when the spa and treatment centre were founded.
Rudas Medical Baths
The Rudas Baths are not only superbly centrally placed – in the narrow strip of land between Gellért Hill and the River Danube – they are also an outstanding example of architecture dating from the Turkish period. The central feature is an octagonal pool over which light is thrown from a 30-foot diameter cupola, supported by eight pillars.
Király Thermal Baths
Construction of the Király Baths started in 1565, and most of the present-day building dates from the Turkish period, including most notably the fine cupola-topped pool. In 1796 they were bought, renovated and extended by a family called König.

Dressed in jeans, a t-shirt, bandana and 40-pound, nickel-plated Sousaphone wrapped around his midriff, Milton Jennings �Jay� Converse draws stares, smiles and more than a few car honks as he marches down Braddock Road performing hits like �Banana Boat Song (Day-o)� on his tuba.
Traffic is heavy as area residents head home from work, but many slow down to watch Jay play.
Converse�s nearly daily after-work march is part of his workout routine, but the 56-year-old has earned himself the status of local celebrity, complete with rumor mill.
�The rumor at Robinson [Secondary] School is that I was either a crack head or a homeless guy because who else would do this,� said Converse, who works for a Herndon-based technology firm. The resident of note is commonly known as the �Tuba Guy� around Fairfax, with a Facebook following of 141, headlines and blogs dedicated to his march.
�I had this old Sousaphone in the basement and I started cracking some notes and my family started saying �Dad! Hey, Dad!� because you could hear it throughout the house. So I went out to Braddock Road,� he said. �It started with it being �Well, let�s play for a few blocks� to �let�s go around the high school Robinson [Secondary School], which is basically a 5K.� Today his route consists of traveling from his home, just off of Braddock Road in Fairfax, to Shirley Gate and back a five-mile trek.
�There are less people to bother [outside]. I like to crank it up a bit,� he said. �I try to tone it down when I pass the school and church.�
The routine began in late summer 2004 as Converse readied for the 30th anniversary of the University of Virginia�s pep-band, a group he helped form in the 1970s. Around this same time, Converse said he visited a doctor who told him his cholesterol was up. Since then, Converse has lost 30 pounds.
�He�s lost weight. He�s gotten in better shape. It�s a great stress reducer for him,� said Elise Converse, Jay�s wife. �We�re all just very happy that he�s found something to do.�
Elise said her husband is a high-energy guy who makes friends wherever he goes.
�He�s the kind of person who�s never met a stranger,� she said. �Everyone asks, �Well did your wife kick you out of the house� and the answer is �No.� He did that on his own� None of us are embarrassed by him. We think it�s great that he does it.�
Converse�s repertoire has also grown with his length of route. His catalogue includes a little bit of The Beatles, a little bit of show tunes, Disney movie soundtrack classics like �When You Wish Upon A Star� from Pinocchio and �Heigh-Ho [Height-Ho. It�s off to work we go]� from Snow White and the Seven Dwarves.
�It�s freedom. I�m the only guy out there. I get to play what I want to play,� Converse says. Sometimes, Converse receives song requests from cars flying by on Braddock Road.
�I hear �Play Free Bird� a lot. People laugh. I actually know �Free Bird� [by Lynyrd Skynyrd]. But when I play it they don�t recognize it. They don�t know it,� Converse said of the tune that is commonly shouted out during live concerts or performances as a means of heckling musicians.
Converse, who received his master�s degree at neighboring George Mason University, was invited last fall to play with the school�s Green Machine pep-band, lead by music Professor and fellow tuba player Michael Nickens.
�When I heard about a Sousaphone player regularly and inexplicably cruising the neighborhood, I was happy to know that people are out there doing things that make them happy no matter how quirky or out of the ordinary they are. And if it includes a Sousaphone with text and propellers, then even better,� said Nickens, lovingly nicknamed �Doc Nix,� a moniker that comes with similar out of the box antics seen at GMU basketball games.
�The day I met him, I was driving near Braddock and 123 and saw him doing his musical exercise,� Nickens said. �I happened to have my own tuba in the car with me, so I thought the best way to meet him would be an impromptu session of dueling tubas in the University Mall parking lot. After trading blues choruses quite skillfully on his part—I had to invite him to play with the Green Machine.�
During football season, Converse performs at Fairfax�s Fat Tuesday�s restaurant, where games are aired. Every time the Redskins score a touchdown, Converse plays �Hail to the Redskins� on his tuba and receives free drinks in return.
He jokes that he did not receive that many free drinks or play �Hail to the Redskins� that often this past season.
�He�s developed a following,� said neighbor Rich Juchnewicz. �He�s made a big kid out of all of us. It�s pretty cool� I�m just grinning ear-to-ear talking about him.�
Juchnewicz said, as a neighbor, Converse is loud but welcome.
�It�s more like a deep bass. You can feel it more than you can hear it sometimes,� he said, adding that children in particular are drawn to Converse and his tuba, which is often decorated in large propellers and a drawn-on license plate on the back of the horn that reads �TUBA.�
Converse said he hopes his application to perform during Fairfax�s Independence Day Parade gets approved because he is planning a new, patriotic-theme decor for his horn.
While his initial goal was to play more tuba and exercise more, Converse said he�s a true multi-tasker now.
�I�m �out in the fresh air, getting great exercise, practicing music, slowing down traffic, making little kids and a few big kids—happy,� he said. �I�m amazed sometimes when I see smile, smile, smile go by and then I see someone go by with a frown � I think, �How can you see something like this and not smile?��

I'm a software engineer in a small company and we are currently recruiting our first QA engineer. The guy will have to write as many as possible automated tests on our web-based tools suite.
As I've participated in the recruitment of almost all the developers of our engineering team, the QA manager has asked me to interview the candidates.
Most of them sound really smart. When they explain their past experiences, they give the feeling that they know what they were talking about, even when they give a lot of details on the framework or tools they are familiar with (like selenium or ohter stuff).
However at the end of the interview I like to challenge them with a small coding test. I know we aren't recruiting a developer but as he'll have to code tests, I believe that he has to be a bit skilled in that domain.
I systematically ask the same question:
"In the language of your choice, could you write a the body of the function that takes in input a integer and return its string representation.
For instance in C#, the prototype of the method could be something like
public string itoa(int n)"
And unfortunately, until now, 100% of the candidates have failed...
So, is it because the question is somehow out of scope for a QA engineer? and in this case could you propose a better exercise?
Or is it just unacceptable and we still have to look for someone that would be at least able to pass the test?
Thank you for you answers.

1 (10 ounce) package
frozen chopped spinach
2 (14.5 ounce) cans
chicken broth
1 (9 ounce) package
cheese tortellini
1/4 tablespoon
dried basil
1/4 tablespoon
garlic powder
salt and pepper to taste
This soup was very tasty. I am currently a senior culinary school student and needed a quick soup to make for a party and this is the one a chose. I did make a few changes and additions though. First of all, the tortellini shouldn't be cooked IN the soup. The starch from the tortellinis only causes the soup to thicken like a stew and they end up being overcooked and mushy. I cooked them seperately and added them to the bowls at service time. This soup was also lacking color, so I added some shredded carrots to the simmering broth to add both flavor and color. With all this being done, the soup was wonderful.
This was a nice simple soup, and the spinach was surprisingly delicious. Doubling the recipe, I used a bag of cut frozen spinach, and color wasn't an issue with my tri-colored dry cheese tortellini. I was skeptical of the basil and garlic powder, but it was fine. However, I'd suggest low-sodium broth, as it got salty at the end (the tortellini?), as well as adding more broth. Still, something seemed to be needed, so I brought to the table hot sauce, lemon, parmesan, cream...trying to discover the missing ingredient. Parmesan was great, as was the TJoe's hot sauce and lemon, but the real winner, surprisingly, was my 10-year-old's addition of lemon pepper! To my amazement, it really worked (Lawry's brand anyway...)!
260 Ratings
I love this soup, but I do make some modifications -- I use fresh spinach and basil, add in fresh vegs (carrots, celery, onion, peas...) and add in some white wine and garlic for good measure. Yum!
Easy and excellent. Picking up on others' suggestions, I sauteed onion and garlic, added dried basil, then the broth (1 qt.), some shredded carrot and zucchini, along with a lot of fresh spinach, 1/4 tsp. lemon pepper. Then the tortellini, to simmer just 'til al dente. Grated parmesan on each serving.
Is this a great country, or what!!
I just served this to my Bridge group and they all wanted the recipe. I cook 2 cups of sliced mushrooms and a very large chopped onion in a little olive oil with some minced garlic...then add the chicken broth ad when hot I enough to cook the tortellini I used the brand that is tri-colored.....so it was as pretty as it was flavorful....low fat, low cal and good for you.
I didn't bother with the original recipe. I followed some suggestions of others. I sauteed a whole chopped onion, 3 cloves of garlic, and 1 whole carrot, cut into matchsticks. I ended up using 3 cans of stock and 3 addtl cups of chicken boullion. Once the broth boiled, I reduced the heat and added 2 chopped tomatoes and almost a whole bag of chopped frozen spinach. I only simmered it for about 5 minutes, so the spinach would not overcook. I boiled the tortellini seperately and added it once the soup was off the heat. This is a fabulous meal! I got veggies into my husband!! I forsee this becoming a leftovers soup, where I will add leftover chicken or veggies or whatever.
This is a great recipe to make in the evenings after work or when you don't have a lot of time. Very good - although a little too much spinach for my liking. My changes:
1. I added a can of corn drained.
2. Used Italian flavored diced tomatoes and eliminated the other spices.
3. Cooked chicken in a skillet, shredded, and then added to pot.
4. Only cooked the tortellini for 3 to 5 mins.
My suggestion would be to make the soup and keep the tortellini separate - especially if you're anticipating leftovers. Simply add the pasta you're going to eat immediately for a few minutes before storing. Allows the rest of the soup to keep better for eating leftovers. The pasta starts to fall apart after being in the fridge for a day.
This soup is so delicious and easy! I also add 2 cans of stewed tomatoes and used fresh garlic instead of powder. I also add chicken broth or extra water when the soup gets too thick and it will! This soup is great with a sandwich or all by itself. I have also doubled/tripled the recipe for parties. I made it for my son's first birthday and it was a huge success. Don't forget to add parmesan cheese when serving. Enjoy!

The Flower of My Secret (La Flor de mi secreto)
For years, Leo has been writing bestselling romantic novels (under the pseudonym Amanda Gris), but with her personal life in shambles, she finds it impossible to produce such sunny material. Unable to accept that her troubled marriage to Paco is over, Leo finds herself creatively and emotionally blocked. She finds little consolation from her mother and sister Rosa, who are so busy bickering with each other that they don't notice Leo's distress, and her best friend Betty, a psychologist who is secretly having an affair with Paco. One bright point is a new friendship with Angel, cultural editor of the daily paper El Pais, who unknowingly hires her to write an attack on her nom de plume, Amanda Gris.
