The beating of a 75-year-old staff member and threats made to other workers have led the Fort Wayne Rescue Mission to take steps to ensure the safety of its workers and the homeless people they serve.
The mission has hired three additional people to bolster the size of the staff, help monitor homeless people when they come in, and provide clients with case management and referral to other agencies offering services the person needs, said the Rev. Donovan Coley, mission senior pastor and CEO.
After a call for help from the mission, 301 W. Superior St., Fort Wayne Police have increased bicycle patrols in the area around the mission, Coley said. In addition, the mission is working to increase and improve security systems and cameras at that location, Coley said.
They hope to raise $50,000 at the mission's 110th anniversary Celebration Banquet on Oct. 17 to help pay for the extra staff and security upgrades, he said.
"We want our place to be as safe as they want their neighborhoods to be," Coley said of other Fort Wayne residents.
The Rescue Mission began noticing an increase in violence against homeless people about six or seven months ago, said Coley, who has been CEO for six years. He attributes most of the violence to youth gangs.
Mission staff members have heard that gang members have come from as far away as Elkhart to do a "hit," or beating, on a homeless person as part of initiation into a gang, he said.
The 75-year-old male staffer was riding his bike to work when he was jumped and beaten near Freimann Square, which is at Clinton and Main streets, Coley said. The man, who since has recovered, recognized one or two of his attackers as people who had visited the Rescue Mission.
The mission later barred two men and one woman from coming back because of their reported involvement in the attack, Coley said.
Men who have been kicked out of the program have returned to threaten staff members or have left threatening phone messages for staff, he said.
In what Coley describes as a "near miss," a man carrying a gun entered through an unlocked door and walked past staff to try to threaten a homeless man who was at the mission. Staff members were able to scare away the assailant and call police, who apprehended the man, he said.
The mission since has instituted a policy barring community dining guests from wearing gang-related clothing or headgear, Coley said. Police presence also has been increased at meals.
There have been no problems at the Rescue Mission's Charis House, 431 Fairmount Place, which provides housing for homeless women and their children, he said.
But the mission has received reports of violence against or involving homeless people in the Wells Street corridor area north of the St. Marys River and in the tiny park at Wayne and Webster streets, across from the downtown Allen County Public Library.
"We have had problems with some of the groups that attend the park," said John Hidy, security services manager for the Allen County Public Library. But Hidy doesn't know if any of the people congregating there are part of a true gang or group.
Library security staff members have observed people drinking alcoholic beverages and using drugs in the park, he said. The library also has had some problems with vandalism in its plaza in front of the building's main entrance.
The staff checks security camera footage and notifies police if they can identify a suspect, he said.
If people cause a problem inside the library, they are given a verbal warning, he said. If they fail to comply with the library's code of conduct, they can be barred from entering for from one day to a year.
Many of the violence reports involve people in the 18-25 age group, Coley said.
The number of people in that age group the mission serves increased 7 percent in the past fiscal year, which ended June 30, he said.
He attributes the jump to youth aging out of foster care, more teens dropping out of high school, the lack of jobs available and young people leaving Indiana Department of Correction with no family or support system to which they can return.

Check the back of the package for instructions. Most frozen crusts just require that you to sit it out on the counter for about 10 minutes before putting any filling into it. Or, if you are using my Wham Bam Pie Crust, just make sure you prick the inside of the crust all around with a fork, then pop it into the fridge to chill while making the filling.
Put your pie crust on a baking sheet. This will make it easier to lift it in & out of the oven. Unless you are using a pie pan with handles, then you can skip this step.
Pour batter into the pie shell, taking care not to overfill.
Also, to keep the pie crust edges from getting too brown, you can put strips of aluminum
foil around the crust edges before popping it into the oven.
You will have some batter left over (about a cup).
Bake for 15 minutes at 425F degrees, then reduce heat to 350F degrees
and bake for about 40-50 minutes.
This is how it looks straight out of the oven. It will look puffy, but don't worry, it settles back down. Middle of the pie should be just a bit jiggly still.
Cool to room temperature for 2-3 hours (to allow the pie to finish setting up)
then serve with whipped cream.

Thanks to all of you who attended the NextGen Town Halls last month. It's an exciting time for IT at the university. Some of the new IT Governance committees met for the first time this month to discuss our vision and some immediate decisions that we need to make.
This multi-year strategy for employing state-of-the-art technology to advance the U-M mission has several components, including:
Approximately 280 faculty and staff attended NextGen Michigan town halls in February. Watch town hall recordings and read attendee feedback on the new NextGen Michigan website.
The university is conducting a comprehensive assessment of information technology across campus.
This effort examines how IT is currently distributed and provided at the unit and campus level. An operational and financial inventory of each unit's IT environment will be included in the final assessment report.
Read more about the list of units being assessed, as well as what the inventory will include.
Across the university, units should be encouraged and empowered to pursue the kinds of technologies that can help them attract the very best students and faculty, as well as further their academic mission (e.g. Digital Fab Lab at Taubman College). A few examples of work in this area include: Mobile Applications, Research Computing and Data Centers.

Something I saw at a junkyard near my old house may interest you. The junkyard guys had taken a tire and rim, filled with cement, and attached a Cadillac spindle to it. On top of the post was one of the "captain's chairs" from either an RV or a van, and the footrest was a steering wheel. Because the seat was mounted on the spindle, it turned very easily. (Sorry, I don't have pictures - that particular junkyard is now 900 miles away from where I call home ... )

I don't know about welding, but a couple of things that make for decent chairs.
1) High back seats from the 70's (GM). Cars were made for long cruises while sitting on you @$$. The seats had to be reasonably comfortable. You don't want real buckets (unless you have problems falling out of chair). 4 pieces of angle iron for legs, a simple square frame. If you burn in the angle iron well, some 1x1x1/8 will hold just fine even at 3ft long. The little bit of flex in the legs will help it level on whatever floor you put it. If you want to put smooth feet on it, basically stand the chair up on some round pieces of plate and weld the legs to it.
2) Custom van seats - Neighbor picked up a "executive limousine" - basically a small bus - Ford 450 Diesel, which he converted to a camper. Inside were 12 high back, cloth seats. I took two and made a pair of bar stool style work seats. I made new seat tracks for them and left the tilt mechanism in place. I tacked the seat together to double check the weight distribution. Kinda nice to be able to lean back on a stool...
I have not welded while sitting in these seats. To afraid the sparks will kill them. Suppose that one day I could cover them in something flame resistant.Con Fuse!

Comments about Bar10Der 10-in-1 Bartending Tool:
I bought this for my boyfriend as a gift. He loves it, it is sleek and fun to try the recipes in the book and use the tool to make the drinks look fancy. However, it is way overpriced for what it includes. It really has 7 tools, with a few tools that do multiple things. This includes a knife, which you probably already have.

Around Paul Burch, state of the art becomes a relative term.
While many Nashville studios are filled with the latest digital technology, Burch's place features three reel-to-reel machines that hum and whir. And while others seek the new millennium's cutting edge, Burch is interested in a place where decades fall away.
Those tape machines captured that place on a new album called Still Your Man, for which the Music City troubadour is earning notice from the New York Times, Uncut and other outlets. The album was released through Ramseur Records on Aug. 19, and Burch and his WPA Ballclub band are set to play the Basement on Aug. 27.
"This studio is an old garage," Burch said. "It has a lot of natural ambience, and I got the idea to make the environment part of the recording. My favorite-sounding music tends to be from the 1940s and '50s, and it was performance-based. Back then, even in the well-equipped studios, the musicians played as an ensemble, without headphones. That's what we did on this album. It's easy that way for people to make 'good' mistakes and inspire each other. That's hard to happen when the players are in separate rooms, with headphones on. These days in most studios, the momentum is with the engineer, who makes the recording and editing decisions. In those days, the momentum was with the musicians."

PGLC has strategic relationships in place with Newmont Mining and Coeur Mining, both precious metals producers listed on the New York Stock Exchange.
Newmont Mining (NYSE: NEM), PGLC's neighbor on three sides, ...has land agreements for their mineral rights with PGLC.
Coeur Mining (NYSE: CDE), PGLC's neighbor to the North, ...their Rochester operation has been producing just north of Pershing Gold's Relief Canyon Mine for the past 30 years.
The Relief Canyon Mine property includes three open-pit mines and a state-of-the-art, fully permitted and constructed heap leach processing facility. The plant has the capacity to treat eight million tons per year. The permitted leach pad can hold 21 million tons and can be readily expanded. The facility is ideally situated to process ore from future discoveries of satellite deposits.
These assets present Pershing Gold with the opportunity to capitalize upon the synergies of an existing processing facility adjacent to a mine that has additional resources to achieve a fast-track path to production at the Relief Canyon Mine.
PGLC's CEO: A HISTORY OF BUILDING SUCCESSFUL COMPANIES
PGLC is led by CEO Stephen Alfers, a veteran mining executive who founded and built a junior gold mining company (NewWest Gold), and sold it to Fronteer Gold, which was subsequently sold for CDN $2.3 billion to Newmont Mining (NYSE: NEM). Alfers is now CEO and a major shareholder of PGLC.
After his successes at NewWest, Alfers was Chief of U.S. Operations at Franco-Nevada (NYSE: FNV), the world's largest gold royalty company.
Since becoming CEO, Alfers has put PGLC on the path to become one of Nevada's next gold mining companies.
Major stockholders include Dr. Phillip Frost of Opko Health (NYSE: OPK), who owns more than 53 million shares in PGLC, and Barry Honig of interCLICK, Yahoo! (NASDAQ: YHOO), who owns more than 43 million shares in PGLC. One insider has bought PGLC in at least 16 transactions since July.

Owning stock in a small gold emerging producer, like Pershing Gold, can prove to be better than owning a major producer, or physical gold. Emerging producers typically trade at a premium to major producers, and the premiums tend to increase as they get closer to production.
Additionally, PGLC can build value multiple ways: by expanding gold resources, through advancing the Relief Canyon project to production and through leverage to gold prices.
PGLC's cost of production should be relatively low because its near surface gold deposits allow for open-pit mining to feed gold ore to its already built-out gold processing plant.
All of PGLC's mining property is located in Pershing County, Nevada, one of the most mining friendly states in the US. The entire population of Pershing County is less than 7,000 people.
PGLC is focused on restarting mining operations at the Relief Canyon Mine property and expanding the estimated resources on its contiguous 25,220 acres land package. In 15 months, three exploration programs have discovered additional gold mineralization both at and immediately adjacent to the Relief Canyon Mine deposit, and also have identified several drill ready targets elsewhere on the company's adjoining mining properties. Pershing's 2013-14 mine development program's next steps include completing metallurgy, engineering and geotechnical work to update a 43-101 compliant resource and prepare a Preliminary Economic Assessment.
Pershing's Relief Canyon mine located in the established gold trend along with its neighbors the major producers Barrick Gold, Newmont Mining and Coeur Mining… the company being built by a seasoned CEO... the purchase of an existing gold mine with an existing, permitted gold processing plant... the increase in PGLC's land package by more than 24,000 acres... the completion of multiple phases of PGLC's drilling program... and a recent financing in an extremely difficult environment to raise money...

Kosher Meat
|Côte de Veau, Sauce au Poivre
Sautéed Center-cut Veal Chop with a Green Peppercorn Sauce
by Chef Shaya Klechevsky, At Your Palate
This KOSHER VEAL RECIPE was CONVERTED from the NON-KOSHER Côte de Porc, Sauce au Poivre Vert , Sautéed Center-cut Pork Chop with a Green Peppercorn Sauce. This is a familiar dish on a variation of Steak au Poivre.
However, it poses several issues regarding the dietary restrictions of kashruth, i.e., pork – meat from a non-kosher animal (pig) and the addition of dairy products in conjunction with meat, i.e., butter and heavy cream.
The FIRST STEP IN CONVERTING THIS DISH is to find a suitable substitute for the pork chop. The closest meat alternative that would hold to the integrity of the dish is a veal chop. What remains now is to substitute all the dairy ingredients for non-dairy equivalents.
4 center-cut veal chops, bone-in (optionally, you may truss the meat of the chops to get more even cooking)
For the Sauce:
Preheat oven to 400°F.
Season veal chops and sauté them in a combination of oil and pareve Earth Balance butter alternative in a wide shallow pan (preferably with curved walls, not straight-edged) until browned on one side.
Flip the chop and pour off excess fat from the pan.
Return the chop to the heat and flame with brandy. After flames subside, transfer chops to a shallow roasting pan or lined cookie sheet and place in oven for 5-8 minutes, or until they are cooked through.
Melt the pareve Earth Balance butter alternative in the pan and soften the shallots with the peppercorns, making sure not to brown the shallots.
Add the chicken stock and the soy cream and reduce until nappant (a French term indicating the thickness of a sauce, this is reached when the sauce coats the back of a spoon and when a finger is run across it, a channel is formed but the rest of the sauce remains on the spoon). Adjust seasoning if necessary.
Remove chops from the oven. Add any juices to the sauce, whisking thoroughly. Place chop on hot plate and drizzle with the sauce.
Yield: 4 servings
*Note: Chef Shaya has graciously modified the recipe for the home cook.

Hole 4 is, without a doubt, a great hole at McCurry Park. Some may say it is the "Signature Hole". The elevated tee makes for some long shots and is a lot of fun. The new short pin is a solid par 3 at just over 400'. The orignal pin looks great but at 551' it is a bit long for a par 3. It is possible to get a 2 here but most players will never get one. Getting a drive within 100' of the pin is even rare for some. There is not room to squeeze 50' more for a "real" par 4 so the question is...
Should I make par 4 for the orignal pin on hole 4?
This would make it possible to get an Eagle here for some top level players. (IMO this is not a terrible thing)

Tips for Feeling Your Best During Treatment for Liver Cancer
The treatments to destroy cancer cells can harm healthy cells at the same time. That means treatment can cause side effects. Side effects affect each person differently. Some people have none, while others may have many. Some may change over time, while others stay the same. Some may be temporary, while others may be permanent.
When side effects occur, they can interfere with your day-to-day life. Some side effects may make other symptoms even more noticeable. For example, if you're depressed or not sleeping well, you may be tired. When you are more tired, your pain from cancer or treatments may feel worse. Getting relief from one side effect may help others.
To help you feel your best during treatment, you'll want to take these steps:
Learn how to talk with your healthcare team about how you're feeling.
Seek support from family and friends as well as cancer support groups and organizations.
Ask your healthcare team for tips on how to cope with the most common side effects of treatment for liver cancer.

I have a huge problem and really I need help solving it.
where I live and probably where you live too, there is a huge problem with stay cats and dogs. Most are gathered up by the cities animal control office and killed. Hundreds and thousands a week.
I thought the private animal shelters were the answer so I began volunteering my time and money at couple in my hometown only to find out they are corrupt.
There is little or no regard for the health and welfare of the animals and it is all about the numbers and the money.
I believe in a no kill society and am giving everything I have to the idea but not making any progress. There are many other volunteers who agree with me and will support me, but I do not know what to do.
I've gathered enough information to understand that the owner is making a living from the shelter, and keeping all the money instead of spending it on sick, injured animals that are suffering. How do I change a corrupt private shelter? I don't want to report the owner and risk the lives of the cats that are there.
I came here with my problem because the people on this website are among the most intelligent and reasonable I know. I am open to any suggestions, please help if you can.
greg dahlen
Dec 19 2012: No, your English isn't bad. Somehow Maddies sounded like an Australian word to me. Jesse, I just called my local police department in Glendale, California. They told me that in Glendale, if I reported animal cruelty, the first people to come out and decide if there really is animal cruelty would be the police themselves. So perhaps you need to contact your local police.
- +2
Another possibility would be to write your local newspaper, a second would be for all the volunteers to quit at the same time. But if you really want change, I think you need to find out what people really have the power and ask for their help. Very likely it is the police.
Dec 21 2012: Great advice. Each sounds well thought, thank you. I like the idea of organizing the volunteers. There has actually been discussion of just that.
Dec 21 2012: Yeah, although he may be able to just get more volunteers. I still think you need to find out who has the power to stop animal cruelty, because after all it is against the law. If I get my energy up, I'll contact Buffalo, NY city hall or police and ask who would officially investigate animal cruelty. Don't worry, I won't give your name or describe the situation specifically, I'll just ask generically what a person would do if they want to report animal cruelty. Or you can do this.
Jess, you have a nice sensivitivity. Maybe you could be a veterinarian. Where are you going with your life, or what is your ambition?
Rob Cork
Dec 17 2012: You're to be commended for your love and concern for animals. Here's what you need to do with your noble cause and concern. You need to seek out people of like passion and work together to create a facility or an environment that would translate your vision to a reality. Seek investors or donors to expedite the reality of your dream. Godspeed.
- +2
Dec 18 2012: thank you for the kindness.. there are other volunteers at the shelter and in the community that are with me.. so your response is valid. Thank youDec 16 2012: Here's a solution from left of centre.Strays should be rounded up but rather than killed they should be neutered and released back on the street. The environment in your local area can only support so many strays and if most of them are neutered there numbers should be fixed. Capturing and killing some of the strays just makes room for the others to reproduce.
Dec 18 2012: hi Peter, there is a spay and neuter clinic in my town that is funded by a grant (Maddies Fund) that does exactly what you suggest. Personally I have brought over 25 strays that I've humanely trapped to them. About half got released because I could not find a place for them. The other half I was able to find homes or room at the shelter. Thank you for the advice.
greg dahlen
Dec 16 2012: I would go ahead and report him. Even if a few animals get killed in the short run, in the long run wouldn't you save a lot more?
- +1
Dec 18 2012: I recently read an article about the Maddies fund that funds the local shelter I'm speaking of, and they do not want to have anything to do with policing or investigating abuses, they said that was up to the local community. Thank you for you advice!
Dec 18 2012: Sorry, Jesse, what is a Maddies fund? Wouldn't there be some government agency that would investigate a shelter where animals are being treated cruelly? There certainly is here in the United States.
Dec 19 2012: is my english that bad?! I live in the united states too lol. I live in Buffalo NY. Maddies Fund is probably the biggest grant organization in the country. They are private not government and award shelters money for adoptions. Lots of money. The probably is the money isn't being invested back into the shelter. The president/founder of the shelter is making a living from it while animals are suffering and in need of medical attention. Thank you for your thoughts
Comment deleted
Dec 18 2012: Thank you Carolyn. All of your suggestion are great and made me smile. I did catnap one cat and took him to my vet. He had stomatitis so bad that he could no longer eat, lost a ton of weight and stopped grooming himself. My vet pulled his teeth and I nursed him back to full healthy. I never did return him to the shelter, I adopted him. But I will consider you idea, thank you!
John Smith
Dec 14 2012: Well, the reason some countries don't have problems with stray cats and dogs is because they neuter animals. So what you can do is introduce a program with the majority, or all of the shelter's funds, where the shelter offers to neuter people's pets for free or for a small fee that most people in the area can afford. If you convince the locals of the usefulness of neutering and tell the donors (who already know about the usefulness of neutering) about your plan then the shelter has no choice but to implement the program. Because neutering is a procedure that can easily be quantified it is very hard for the shelter to steal money from the program, after all, the donors can easily see how much money the shelter spends per procedure and figure out if they're getting conned. All you have to do is make sure that you, or someone you trust is counting the number of procedures and reporting this number to the donors periodically.
- +1
Dec 19 2012: as I mentioned in another reply, there is a spay/neuter clinic for people to catch, spay, and release ferals. I do that as well, only thing is, some of the cats and dogs I catch are not feral, they are just stray/abandoned. Those ones I bring to the shelter I volunteer at.
There needs to be more education though, each generation is more compassionate, and smarter.Dec 14 2012: The promotion of animal-keeping in society is something I have a big issue with. Primarily because many owners don't *keep* their pets, they largely leave them to roam the region unsupervised and unspayed, and this is where much of the issue stems from.
You say that you don't want to report the owner, but its worth knowing that reporting doesn't necessarily equate to having the centre shut down. In most cases it will lead to an inspection, fines, frequent checks and then closure, only if the requirements aren't met.
If you can verify that the issue in question is as high as you believe
(Ideally evidence of how many animals are caught per month or proof of the government/council spending on this issue and the centres) then you could always contact your government/council and promote the idea of a basic advertising campaign and temporary subsidies for animal spaying.
This would theoretically decrease the number of animals over time (thus less of the issue in question).
If you can verify the issue enough, the government/council could infact consider it if it will save money in the long-run, (such as health insurance companies paying for yearly examinations and contraception, because treating late-stage illness and pregnancy are vastly more expensive than all the exams and contraception combined).
The only immediate(ish) answer would be to
1. Volunteer in all of the local shelters
2. Get significant levels over evidence over successive days-weeks-months
3. Open your own shelter
4. Continuously leak out the evidence in pieces, consistently reporting the other shelters until they're forced to close down.
5. Gain all of the animals and monopolize the industry.
Unfortunately theres no quick or cheap solution that I'm aware of.
Dec 19 2012: I already Googled shelters in my area and contacted every one for the very reason you suggest. None of them were really operating, they did not have a building or cats. They supposedly had a "network of foster homes" apparently scamming money from grant and government agencies is big business.
I have been volunteering with this shelter for about 8 years. I do work public adoption events and I clean at the shelter on my day off. I not only donate time and care, I donate money, buy supplies etc..
The longer I am there, the more I see and learn. There are cats being left to die and suffer when all they need is care. But the money is being hoarded.
I want to open my own shelter, I have started reading on filing for 501c and gaining non-profit status. I don't have a lot of money, I work full time plus overtime for what I have. I like all of your ideas, you have given me much to consider, thank you for sharing!!
Fritzie -
Dec 14 2012: One option you have is to move yourself to one of the many rescues that does care about animals. You don't want to be part of a corrupt operation, and as you are a volunteer, I am sure you will find another that is happy for your help, particularly if you are a foster placement for the animals who are waiting for permanent homes.
- +1
You can do a lot of good through your work.
Dec 19 2012: Believe it or not, there aren't any around my part of ny. I have been in contact with all and I am working at the most legit and largest one.
Fritzie -
Dec 19 2012: Now that I see you have been there eight years, I think you probably know more about this than anyone.
- +1
Perhaps you could have a confidential conversation with your veterinarian to solicit advice plus an anonymous contact with the ASPCA.

Automobiles and other vehicles are designed and manufactured with safety in mind. However, for older drivers, safety features are especially important.
Death rates due to injuries from crashes are much higher for older people than for younger age groups. The higher death rates occur because our fragility increases as we age, and our ability to withstand the forces involved in crashes become much lower.
Here are six safety tips to consider when buying a car:
- Ensure the safety belts work. Safety belts provide protection against all types of collisions. In a crash, if you are correctly belted, you are better able to maintain control. The safety belt enhances your ability to stay in position behind the steering wheel and to retain control of the vehicle.
- Look for a vehicle with air bags and head restraints. Front driver and passenger air bags provide protection in head-on collisions. Side or "curtain" air bags provide protection in side-impact collisions. Head restraints prevent your head from being snapped back in a rear-end collision.
- Choose color wisely. Exterior color makes a difference. Cars that are brighter and lighter in color are easier for other drivers to see at night and when it rains.
- Get anti-lock breaks. Anti-lock brakes improve stopping and steering control during sudden stops.
- Check for side-view mirrors. Side-view mirrors on both sides of the car help with lane-changing and passing.
- Get an adjustable front seat. An adjustable front seat allows you to keep the proper distance between you and the steering wheel in case your air bag activates. The adjustable seat also helps you keep your head above the steering wheel for maximum visibility.

Beanies are quintessential for winter styling and one of the most versatile and functional hats, well, ever. There's no wrong way to wear a beanie (just try and prove us wrong — we dare ya), but there's definitely more than one right way to wear one. Originally common headgear for dockworkers and sailors, we thought it best to show the ways to wear a beanie and make it look stylish with a classic American workwear inspired twist.
Mark wearing our Dockyard beanie in front of his Tenderloin based shop, Handsome Oxford.
Handsome Oxford, an unique vintage menswear shop with a focus on celebrating American made, American manufacturing and the American craft, was really just the perfect place to go to for outdoor and workwear apparel. We asked Handsome Oxford shop owner Mark Cruzada to style three staple Goorin Bros. beanies using his personal collection of American vintage clothing. Mark, being his unknowingly-eccentric-yet-totally-stylish self, was up for the challenge and styled three outfits around our beanies, all with his clothing, in his classic American workwear way.

Sometimes we want to be more efficient and productive, what have you written to reach this?
closed as too broad by MichaelT, Snowman, GlenH7, gnat, durron597 Aug 22 at 15:51
There are either too many possible answers, or good answers would be too long for this format. Please add details to narrow the answer set or to isolate an issue that can be answered in a few paragraphs. If this question can be reworded to fit the rules in the help center, please edit the question.
First week of my new job (a couple years back) I wrote a utility to manage configuration settings in your local machine.config file. The config file is stored in source control, and you can select between different environments with a quick click. (local, dev, etc..)
I thought it was fairly shoddy when I wrote it, but it has needed almost no updates and several programmers at work still use it regularly.
I would say it made not only me, but also the whole team, more productive. :D
It barely counts as "writing", but having a large suite of email-management rules keeps me productive.
It also allows me to fearlessly sign up for a lot of notification by email, and to use my inbox as a todo list (because it's nearly always empty).
I often write launcher scripts that set me up to work on specific projects. For example, I have a part time PHP dev job that I work from home on my laptop, and I have a little script that will:
It doesn't seem like much, but I find myself much more inclined to work on it when it's only one icon-click away, and I find myself considerably more productive.
My company has a comment web client that we end up re-skinning for each of our clients. The re-skinning process took a very VERY long time.
I found a bog post about .less and how it could help with cleaning up the stylesheets we use. I spent a good amount of time cleaning up the web client and moving all our css files to use .less instead.
Now the re-skinning process takes one person about 2 hours to complete. It's pretty awesome. And it makes everything so much easier to maintain and support.
I can think of three that have been indispensable, I image most software team have something similar.
Honestly, and most practically I seriously need to write something to solve the tracking notes as a developer problem.
If that doesn't make me more efficient, then nothing will.
Unfortunately, the one thing I DID write that not only made me more efficient, but every other employee for a large corporation is proprietary, so I cant even talk about it.. much less collect royalties.
At my previous company we had embedded code that had to be loaded on SD cards to bootload the units. The files always had to have the exact same names and it was really easy to forget if you had the latest build on your SD card, so you'd always end up just rewriting the files before testing.
I wrote a simple program that used an MD5 hash and an XML dictionary of those hashes to correctly identify what was on your card and allowed you to hit a single button to update to the latest versions over the web. This turned out to be such a simple and effective program we beefed it up a little and then gave copies to our customers so they could update our units without having to pay a technician.
I wrote a SQL parser for use at work. It can be very helpful to write a program to find all stored procedures that insert into a certain table, and with the parser I can get a list of exact matches as opposed to using LIKE and filtering through the results.
I wrote a small python Tk utility for my couchdb work that allows you to ping a server and specify the server host, port, and url, and parses a simple homebrew markup language to send HTTP headers. It has a text box which shows the response, and if it receives an html response, renders it out using pythonWebkitGtk.
It's been amazingly useful for debugging my server code.
3 things, actually. The first 2 aren't actually the act of "writing" some piece of code, but more general tasks that have made me productive on jobs.
The third one is indeed something I wrote, but I consider the other ones more productive and think they brought more benefits.
So, here are 3 real-life examples...
Reusing Libraries
Apache Commons *, and Google Guava, for the most part, for Java Development.
I've quite often come across old code of mine or of my colleagues', and realized we could re-write hundreds of lines with a few carefully crafted lines. You feel like you're cheating at first, but with time you come to realize that clarity matters, and that less code means less bugs, and less bugs means less costs and less development, testing and support time and effort.
If you really need the performance, fine, re-implementing the thing exactly as you need it. Otherwise don't bother. But do pay attention to what it does in the background and benchmark it, read it up or look at its source code to make sure it doesn't do anything crazy.
The other nice thing with reducing your code footprint is that it then makes it easier to swap out implementations. Sometimes, the best productivity you get is by removing clutter and by just swapping an old implementation for a more modern and efficient one.
Revamping a Build System
Switching an ageing +8000-lines Ant build system for a Java that was written prior to Ant 1.6 (so using things that nowadays would be considered bad practice) to a fully-componentized Maven build.
Based on the checkout time (this project used to store dependencies on the SVN) and the compilation time for a full-build (sometimes over 35 minutes, and often necessary because of the bad modularization of the build), I estimated that I wasted 20 days (as in, 24 hour days!) in a year of work.
So we decided to do The Switch. It took a lot of effort and time, but it benefited the whole team:
Writing an SDK for the Team (and New Starters)
My idea was to reduce the time needed for a new starter between the first time they sit at their desk and the first time they can actually commit something. We wrote a development guide, but it was too big. So we wrote a new starter cheat-sheet, but it wasn't guiding enough and didn't cover all use-cases and scenarios the new starters may encounter, based on the projects they were supposed to start with.
So I wrote an application in C# (so I could compile it to a single executable and not need any dependency) that was supposed to act as our "development shell" or SDK. On its first execution, it would configure a bunch of environment variables allowing it to run, that would later be overriden by the user if necessary or desired. It would then download an XML file from our SCM (or a given URL) and use it do identify repositories to use as source to fetch and install packages. It was flexible enough that I made it possible to install a dev environment in one click: it would download the right version of eclipse, of emacs, of GnuWin32 and MinGW+MSYS, of Cygwin, of Maven, of Ant, of Groovy, of the JDK, etc... And you could extend it to add your own desired packages, and even to add new repositories.
The next step was to allow it to support different "one-click profiles": developer, tester, reviewer, etc... Originally I meant this to be used by the dev team, but then I realized our test team probably had a similar issue to get their new starters up and running, so I modified that so it would download a different set of packages based on the profile you wanted (of course you could ask for both).
This executable then acted as a master shell you could use for a bunch of things, either from the command line (something like
That was a fairly fun thing to play with, and it did make newcomers more productive. Me... maybe I spent more time than necessary on it, but I learned a lot from doing that :)
This is someting I wrote for my personal use, as opposed to use at work. I wrote a software that I can use to track my expenses. Nothing big, just a command line utiltity to print out a log my expenses into a simple text file.
Now i'm writing GUI to it: to analyse my expenses and generate reports like:
And oh, my command line tool could also keep track of how much I have borrowed from people (friends) and (more importantly) how much people have borrowed from me. Writing a GUI for this too. Yep, Qt.
Not really programming, but on the team I was on before, I was one of only 2 people who knew anything about SQL and the database, and the other guy was my supervisor.
We had to enter in a bunch of stuff to the database, coming from other departments, and being put into a word doc by another coworker. I had to do the entry into the DB. Manually making SQL INSERT statements to do it.
I realized I could just copy & paste the Word tables into Excel, write some formulas (which I hadn't touched since grade 9, but quickly learned), do some dragging, and I could get everything entered in a few hours, compared to several days the other way. I say a few hours because it would be different stuff every time, and needed to be re-written from scratch.
I've written a few utility scripts at work; the one that saved us a lot of time for migrating ~33 websites to our site/CMS was a TextMate HTML-to-Textile conversion plugin. It used a Python library I found online that I made some modifications to for forcing certain classes that were used to become appropriate tags.
Saved us so many hours of extra unnecessary work.
I helped build our company's web application framework before such frameworks were commonplace. I'm continually adding features to improve our team's efficiency. I enjoy seeing even the smallest feature saving many hours of work across multiple projects.
I've also rewritten our server update script to handle various situations, so we manually log into servers less often.
I used to work at a large media content company and we had a system of templates that had to be duplicated and modified for each channel or important news that was added to our website. The process used to take at least one hour. A colleague of mine wrote a template generator that could be configured according to the new channel/event info and it would generate everything neatly. The work was reduced from 1 hour to 5 minutes.
I think I'm going to need to write a script which searches for certain keywords in MS Access queries and forms (to quickly find where a specific field is referenced, for example). I'm not looking forward to it though, because it's Acess 2002 and SQL SERVER 2000 on Windows XP..
We've got a homegrown ORM at work, since the program dates back to before ORMs got popular and lots of premade solutions were readily available. It's got classes that basically match the database schema and a bunch of plumbing to make the two speak to each other with a mininmum of effort. But every time you wrote a new class, you had to define it twice: once in the ORM and once in the DB table.
After a while I got fed up with this and wrote up a simple compiler that parses CREATE TABLE statements and outputs ORM class units. It makes extending our system a lot simpler now.
I wrote this SQL Construction Kit to use when I don't need the ridiculous kitchen sink that is Hibernate ( or any of the other heavy weight Java ORM libraries ).
It has served me well on some very highly scale public facing web applications that I have worked on over the years. Funny thing is this code was inspired by a version I wrote in Visual Basic 4 !
Every time I write a Perl Module, it seems I become more efficient. Why? Because, when writing a module, you always want to keep it fast, effective, and easy-to-use.
In Javaland, I actually don't write many util methods anymore since Apache Commons exists. They have (aging) libraries for various things that Java doesn't do compactly, like printing an array, managing exceptions, etc.

More than 175 years ago, Albert Gallatin, the distinguished statesman who served as secretary of the treasury under Presidents Thomas Jefferson and James Madison, declared his intention to establish "in this immense and fast-growing city ... a system of rational and practical education fitting for all and graciously opened to all." Founded in 1831, New York University is now one of the largest private universities in the United States. Of the more than 3,000 colleges and universities in America, New York University is one of only 60 member institutions of the distinguished Association of American Universities.
From a student body of 158 during NYU's very first semester, enrollment has grown to more than 40,000 students...
... attending 18 schools and colleges at five major centers in Manhattan and in sites in Africa, Asia, Europe, and South America. Today, students come from every state in the union and from 133 foreign countries. The faculty, which initially consisted of fourteen professors and lecturers (among them artist and inventor Samuel F. B. Morse), now totals over 3,100 full-time members whose research and teaching encompasses the humanities, the sciences, and the social sciences; the law; medicine; business; education; the fine arts, studio art, and the performing and cinematic arts; music; social work; public administration; the ancient world; and continuing and professional studies. With more than 2,500 courses offered, the University awards more than 25 different degrees. Although overall the University is large, the individuals schools and colleges are small- to moderate-sized units—each with its own traditions, programs, and faculty – and there are many communities to be found within the NYU community based on interests, activities, and shared experiences.
The center of NYU is its Washington Square campus in the heart of Greenwich Village. One of the city's most creative and energetic communities, the Village is a historic neighborhood that has attracted generations of writers, musicians, artists, and intellectuals. NYU, in keeping with its founder's vision, is "in and of the city": the University – which has no walls and no gates – is deeply intertwined with New York City, drawing inspiration from its vitality.
In addition to its Manhattan locations, the University is also located in Brooklyn with the second oldest school of engineering and technology in the country, and has research facilities, notably the Nelson Institute of Environmental Medicine, in Sterling Forest, near Tuxedo, New York.
And NYU has established itself as the first global network university, with a comprehensive liberal arts campus in Abu Dhabi – the first to be operated abroad by a major U.S. research university – and other sites for study and research in Accra, Ghana; Berlin, Germany; Buenos Aires, Argentina; Florence, Italy; London, England; Madrid, Spain; Paris, France; Prague, the Czech Republic; Shanghai, China; and Tel Aviv, Israel, among other locations.
NYU Mission Statement
Great cities are engines of creativity, and New York University takes its name and spirit from one of the busiest, most diverse and dynamic cities of all. The University lives within New York and other great cities, from Abu Dhabi to Shanghai, Paris to Prague, Sydney to Buenos Aires—all magnets for talented, ambitious people.
Thriving beyond borders and across academic disciplines, NYU has emerged as one of the most networked and extensive worldwide platform for learning, teaching, researching, building knowledge, and inventing new ways to meet humanity's challenges. Its students, faculty and alumni feed off the stimulating power of swirling intellectual and cultural experiences by mastering academic disciplines, expressing themselves in the arts, and excelling in demanding professions.
New York University's mission is to be a top quality international center of scholarship, teaching and research. This involves retaining and attracting outstanding faculty who are leaders in their fields, encouraging them to create programs that draw outstanding students, and providing an intellectually rich environment. NYU seeks to take academic and cultural advantage of its location and to embrace diversity among faculty, staff and students to ensure a wide range of perspectives, including international perspectives, in the educational experience.
Under President Sexton's administration, the University has moved forward from being an institution that is "in and of the city," to being one that is in and of the world.

The remains of Capt. Walter Francis Duke, shot down in combat over the jungles of Burma in World War II, may have been located, his kin were advised last weekend.
Family members are hoping that a 68-year-old mystery has been solved.
A forensic genealogist working as a contractor for the U.S. Army said it's premature to say Duke has in fact been found in recently cleared jungle in the country today called Myanmar, but the Army doesn't put her to work to locate survivors if a loved one hasn't been found. A P-38 aircraft with numbers matching Duke's plane was discovered with the remains, the genealogist said.
"When they give me a case to do, there's a reason," she said, asking to remain anonymous as it is the Army's responsibility to make the official notification to the family.
Duke went missing in action, reported shot down over Burma, on June 6, 1944. That was also D-Day, the day half a world away when U.S. forces and their allies crossed the English Channel to push back the Nazi German forces.
The family was left wondering what happened to Duke ever since.
"I don't know how I feel about it," said Eleanor Ann Fearns, 88, after learning Duke's remains may have been found.
"All the memories come back now. I was in high school when he was reported MIA," she said from her Leonardtown home.
Fearns is one of two sisters still living among Duke's many siblings.
Fearns said she was contacted by the genealogist. "They didn't tell me what they had found, but they asked about DNA" to verify if the remains are Duke's.
"If it's a match, then a casualty officer physically visits the family," the genealogist said.
The Duke family burial plot is at the old St. Aloysius Cemetery off Cemetery Road in Leonardtown. Fearns said as the next of kin, she would request his remains be buried there as well.
"My brother, George, I wish so he was still alive. [Walter] was his idol," Fearns said.
George Duke was 12 when his older brother went missing.
George Duke researched his brother's service over the years, trying to find out what happened to him in combat. George Duke even found the pilot who shot his brother down with the help of the Japanese Embassy, his sister said, and began a written correspondence.
Capt. Duke signed up to be a combat pilot before Japan attacked the United States in Hawaii on Dec. 7, 1941. Before the Pearl Harbor attack, most Americans wanted to stay out of the war.
Capt. Duke signed up with the Royal Canadian Air Force in July 1941, after Germany had invaded France and launched an aerial attack of England. He joined the U.S. Army Air Corps in May 1942 after the United States was pulled into the war.
By the age of 21, Duke was a captain and an ace fighter pilot. In March 1943, the Allies began pushing the Japanese Air Force out of Burma, George Duke told the St. Mary's County commissioners in a 1999 letter.
From March to May that year, Capt. Duke scored 10 confirmed kills, eight probable kills, 13 damaged aircraft, plus more destroyed or damaged on the ground.
The (Baltimore) Sun called him "Maryland's leading air ace of World War II" on May 20, 1944.
In wartime letters back home, the newspaper reported, Capt. Duke shared few details of his combat missions. "I am getting my share … I get a little scared in the tough spots but I am doing okay," he wrote March 30, 1944.
Capt. Duke, on leave back home in St. Mary's, married Verja Graham in March 1943, a girl he had known since childhood, The Sun reported on June 23, 1944.
His P-38 plane had "Miss V" painted on the nose after his wife.
The genealogist found Verja still living in Florida. She remarried so she is no longer next of kin.
Capt. Duke told his family he was expecting to come back home for a visit so a celebration was planned in his hometown of Leonardtown. However, the news came on June 21, 1944, that he was reported as missing as of June 6.
The celebration plans were not canceled, The Sun reported. "St. Mary's countians plan to honor their ace by buying war bonds," an article said.
Sen. Millard Tydings told the audience on June 22 he believed that Capt. Duke was captured by the Japanese or was making his way through the jungle.
Now more than 68 years later, the question of what happened to Capt. Duke may have been answered.
George Duke said his brother shot down three enemy planes before they got him.
The county's airport was once named after Capt. Duke, but is now called the St. Mary's County Regional Airport. The terminal building bears Duke's name.

I was given a 14'-6" diameter by 15' aluminum fertilizer tank. The local farm supply is becoming less farm and more suburb so they dropped custom chemical application and fertilizer for Weber grills and go carts (utv). I just had to get it home. So I did some math and figure it weighed 6000# and made a homemade lowboy out of a wagon axle and 4" square. I ran it down the state road at daybreak with the Deere and only had to poke one cable wire over the front edge. State trooper just waved on his way to coffee and the country cops never got off the phone to look much less wave.
Unlike the farm supply I am not going to build a massive concrete containment vessel to park this thing in and I will not fill more than a semi load of 28% (6' deep?) For a short time.
Inspecting the bottom of the tank I found a stain around an intrusion in a weld seam. I do not have a man hole to get inside. I have an old Hobart square wave tig and I might be able to reach the spot from underneath but have not welded overhead tig on Aluminum. Try it? Tear the top off and inspect inside and spool gun what I find would be the right way but also easy to get killed without the lifting capacity.
1/4 aluminum overhead Tig or get more into it and call for a spool gun or spend for new aluminum welding capacity?

Can you roll the tank so the offending seam is on the top? You are aware that some liquid fertilizer will burn/explode under the right conditions, right?---Meltedmetal
Fertilizer can be highly explosive! I don't know anything about what was in it but I wouldn't weld on it or in it until I was 100% sure it wouldn't blow up.MM250

Liquid is corrosive as can be, but not explosive. A paper cut and a few drops are too cruel for the prisoners at GitMo. Google 30% uan or Nitan. 10-34-0 will eat Aluminum so if there was some in a truck or railcar I should really go over the condition of the tank. Picture to follow soon.

From the uan 30 MSDS :PRODUCTS OF
Not applicable.
Material will not burn, but thermal decomposition may result in flammable/toxic gases being
formed after material evaporates to dryness. These products are nitrogen oxides and
ammonia (NO, NO2, NH3).
If evaporated to dryness, acts as an oxidizing agent, supports combustion by liberating oxygen
even if smothered. Cool containing vessels with flooding quantities of water until well after fire
is out. A self contained breathing apparatus should be used to avoid inhalation of toxic fumes.
When heated to decomposition it emits toxic fumes (NH 3, N0, N02). Fire fighters should wear
self-contained breathing apparatus (SCBA) and full turnout gear.
Dangerous if evaporated to near dryness. Dry residue may form explosive mixtures with
organic materials. Avoid temperatures above 100°C (212°F) which may result in evaporation,
thermal decomposition or explosion.
Residue may be dangerous in contact with flammable organic materials. Evolves toxic fumes
when heated to the decomposition state. Avoid temperatures above 100°C (212°F). On
evaporation to dryness thermal decomposition or explosion may result.
Incompatible with strong reducing agents, or other oxidizers. Possible incompatibility with
finely powdered metals (cadmium, copper, lead, cobalt, nickel, bismuth, chromium,
magnesium, zinc, sodium, potassium and aluminum). May explode by detonation, heat or
shock when evaporated to near dryness. Solution may detonate if subjected to heat and
Unconfirmed industry reports indicate a possibility that ammonium nitrate containing solutions
may detonate if subjected to extreme heat while under pressure or if allowed to evaporate to
near dryness.
Please consider the information above and take the appropriate measures. Stay safe. Google "uan 30 MSDS"---Meltedmetal

For one unless it is a pressure tank ( which being aluminum its not) anhydrous ammonia (NH3) will not be present. 2 ammonium nitrate is next to impossible to get in the states… to have it in bulk on premise it must be under guard 24/7, and it is also a SOLID, DRY, fertilizer, and only an oxidizer, will not explode from heat, 3 Finley powdered meters would not be present in such a big tank because they would settle out to fast.

Are you saying that it is safe to weld on this tank? The material I posted is copied from the MSDS for uan 30. My reading of that information is not that the liquid is anhydrous ammonia but that anhydrous ammonia can be a thermal decomposition product. Also in liquid form the material is not a fire/explosion hazard but when it is heated enough to dry it becomes one. It seems to me that this heating is likely to occur in the area surrounding the weld. How dangerous is this condition? I don't know. I am not a chemist but there is enough information in the MSDS for this product to make me seriously question whether I would weld on this tank without major precautions or look for another solution.---Meltedmetal

What I am saying is for there to be liquid anhydrous ammonia It must be under pressure . Highly unlikely something containing anhydrous ammonia was in this tank. Also when anhydrous ammonia is released from pressure it changes to gas instantly, I know this from being a farm boy. My dad sells the stuff to. Unless I knew for sure what was in it I probably wouldn't weld it.
