What it takes to make the tree
For more than 20 years, Delray residents and visitors alike have marveled at our Famous 100 Ft Christmas Tree. In 2012 it was named as one of the best Trees in all of the USA, right up there with the trees at Rockefeller Center and the White House. Building the Tree is a month-long community event that brings together people of all ages and all walks of life.
"Mother Fluffers" as they are known, descend to the site in front of the Cornell Museum the first week in November. Some have been with the Tree for 20 years like Dale Madieros. The fluffers check all 15,000 LED light bulbs, fluff over 3,000 branches and hang them on the Tree. Thanks to veterans like Mary "Mike" Williams, the new volunteers are trained well and soon become part of the family. Some of our volunteers like Krug Kruger are known as "the climbers" who scale the infrastructure to get the branches on. Jeremy from Meisner Electric uses a cherry picker to do the rest. The Tree is stacked in mid-November and it is always an incredible site. Local restaurants donate lunches, enough to feed 30-50 workers per day. Wrangling the donations from the restaurants is the job of Kitchen Elf, Al Hincken. Mellow Mushroom does its part to feed the seventh and eighth graders who come and help out on site.
This year students from Village Academy, American Heritage, St Vincent and the SGA from Atlantic High School came out to assist our veteran volunteers at the Tree. Home Depot came on board in a big way this year. Their Team Depot volunteered to spruce up the houses inside the Tree. Home Depot donated the building materials and supplies to get the site in perfect shape. Most importantly they volunteered their time and expertise to make sure the houses were shored up, safe and great to look at.
City workers from all departments help out at the Tree. Without their long term knowledge of how to build the tree and good natured attitude in handling the additional duties in November, the City wouldn't have this magnificent symbol of Community.
The serious work of erecting the 100 Ft Christmas Tree falls to Eagle Metal, Harrison Crane, Meisner Electric and Hard Drives. The steel workers, crane operators and electricians are on site from day one putting together 30,000 lbs of metal framing and wiring it to light perfectly each night.
By now you've probably seen Santa's lovely new cottage. This gift to the City comes from a collaboration of Richard Jones Architects and Seaside Builders. The Tree lives on the grounds of the Delray Beach Center for the Arts. The team at DBCFTA works hand in hand with the Delray Beach Marketing Cooperative during the months of November, December and January from build-up to take down.
The Tree is open every day from the Tree Lighting on December 4th through January 1st. We count on our volunteers to man the Tree, ask for donations and answer endless questions about the Tree and Delray Beach. Without our volunteer coordinators, Allison Good and Mary Anne Volpe, we wouldn't be able to keep the Tree open day and night for visitors to marvel at. The most frequently asked question is "Is it real?"
And last but not least, Team DBMC acts as the conductor to turn all of these moving parts into a magical destination for residents and visitors alike. The DBMC coordinates the build, garners sponsors, plans the Tree Lighting event, promotes the Tree, runs the site during December, coordinates First Night and finally, orchestrates the take down in January. It's a busy time for a small team of four but we do it with love in our hearts for the community of Delray Beach.

This is a piece of literature I am writing for an English class but I would be interested in knowing what you guys think, This is only one chapter so far. Enjoy!
"Good evening Ronny.â€Â
"Evenin' mister Syre, sir.â€Â
The prisoner stands hunched at the doorway of my office in C Block, Grey Mill penitentiary, bloodshot eyes darting around the familiar setting before settling on the dark haired, spectacled individual sitting on a dark leather armchair in the corner of the room.
"Please, sit down,†I lean forwards and pick up a case file from the coffee table positioned between the armchair and the couch Ronald Pierson just settled himself into. "Now I hear you've been starting a few fights recently Ronny,†I say as I study the case file.
"Yes'm mister Syre, sir. I don' mean to but the guys jus' keep making me so angry, y'know?â€Â
"How do they make you angry?â€Â
"They say things, they know what I done.â€Â
"Now you know as well as I do, Ronny, that no-one apart from you, the parole board and I know what you did before you came here.â€Â
He jerks in his seat slightly and his fists clench for a split second. "But they say they know, mister Syre, sir. They say they know I eated those little kiddies. They say I is a monster an' they make howling noises at nights in the cells an' I just can' take it an' I just wanna hurt 'em so bad...†His fists clench tighter this time, thumping down on the soft leather of the couch, he closes his eyes and drops his head towards the ground.
"Okay, Ronny, come back to me, it's all okay, we'll get it sorted-â€Â
Ronny, shaking slightly, raised his head again and stared unblinkingly into my eyes, "Mister Syre, sir, can I ask you something?â€Â
"Yes, of course. I'm always open to questions.â€Â
"The guys, they also told me you've been having problems. Problems with missus Syre.â€Â
I looked at Ronny over the top of my spectacles, piercing green eyes burning into him, "What's it to you?â€Â
"Just wondering, mister Syre, sir.â€Â
"Well next time keep your...wondering to yourself.†I look up at the clock ticking away beside the bookcase. "Your session is over, get back to your cell.â€Â
Ronny glanced at the clock as well. "But there's still 20 minutes left-â€Â
"I don't care, to your cell, now!â€Â
I stand up and knock on the door, it opens and two burly prison guards in uniform step in, grasping each side of Ronny and dragging him out the door and down the cold stone corridor.
* * *
A key is inserted into a lock. There is a click as the door is unlocked and the handle is pushed down by the person on the other side.
Laura's eyes snap open as the familiar creak of the front door creeps up the stairs...
I shake off the light covering of rain on my coat and remove my shoes, placing them beside the door, next to my wife, Laura's, expensive black high heeled shoes that I bought her the year before for her birthday. I remove my coat and place it on the coat rack above the shoes and stop.
I look down again.
Three pairs of shoes?
There are never more than two at the front door unless we have a visitor, which is a rare occurrence; and no-one I know wears brilliant white boots, shining like the light from heaven.
Well, except for...
No, it couldn't be, he's never visited before. Or at least not when I've been around.
The patter of feet above me. The low thump of a cupboard door closing.
Ronny's words drift through my head, "They also told me you've been having problems. Problems with missus Syre.†It couldn't be that, it's obviously something else.
I call up the stairs and begin to climb them, the dread of finding Laura with another man, held hostage or maybe even dead growing deeper every step.
I reach the landing and push open the bedroom door, Laura is sitting upright in the bed reading a book, trying to cover her blushed face; she is breathing quickly. She is huddled on one side of the bed yet the rest is crumpled as if someone departed from beneath the duvet in a hurry.
She looks up from her book â€" an old edition of Pride and Prejudice that she had bought at a church fairâ€" when I enter the room, "Evening honey,†she gasps between her heavy breaths.
Laura's clothes are strewn across the room and my eye settles upon a sock. One sock lying in the centre of the room. A single, black sock that was definitely not one of hers nor mine...
A cough from the large wooden cupboard to the left of the door.
Laura's expression turns from mild surprise to sheer panic and leaps out of the bed, skillfully taking the sheet with her to spare unwanted embarrassment â€" which I find rather unusual as she is my wife but I glaze over the fact, I am too preoccupied with the cupboard and its mysterious inhabitant.
Laura stops between me and the cupboard, her face a dark shade of maroon, her breath coming shallow and fast, "Ignore it David, I'm sure it was just a mouse.â€Â
"Unless mouses get very nasty colds I doubt it, now move,†I push her gently out of the way and continue towards the cupboard.
I pull the door open hard enough to nearly cause it to fly off its hinges and uncover the coughing cupboard culprit.
My mouth drops open in complete shock and bewilderment, "What â€" the â€" hell?â€Â
Crouched in the corner of the cupboard clinging on to all his clothing apart from one black sock was Dr. Christopher McRae of Grey Mill penitentiary.
He smiles cheerfully up at me, a glint of fear in his eyes,"Good evening, Dr. Syre, what a pleasant surprise. We didn't expect you home for another few hours.â€Â
My eyes pierce his skin like the fires of hell, a fury like no other fills inside my chest, "Sorry, did I interrupt your evening? Please, continue.†I step to the side of the cupboard and gesture for him to exit the cupboard.
Rest here
Final Prognosis cnt.

The rest of my english piece.
The fear vanishes from his eyes and he stands, stepping out, "I'm so glad you understand, David. We really didn't mean for you to see us like this. This is all obviously one big misunderst-â€Â
My fist flies into his face, throwing him backwards into the cupboard again, there is a crack as the back smashes from McRae's weight crashing into it.
"Get the hell out of my house!â€Â
McRae pulls himself from under a mountain of clothing and wood splinters, blotting his bleeding nose with a shirt sleeve. He stands straight in front of me, his forehead just reaching my stubble chin, and looks up into my eyes with concealed hatred, "Now I'm sure we can sort this out like proper gentlemen...â€Â
A further fist to the side of his head, persuades McRae to leave the room and he hobbles down the stairs, pulling his vibrant white shoes onto his feet. He opens the door and turns back towards me standing half way down the stairs, Laura is clearing the mess in the bedroom, "One more thing, Syre. I'm taking over Ronny's case, you don't seem to be getting anywhere with him. Good Night,†he exits the house and makes his way down the driveway, shivering from the night air; he was wearing nothing apart from a vibrant green pair of loose boxer shorts.
I stride down the stairs three at a time and out the front door, everything I see is a blood red haze. I snatch up a stone gnome from the patio and without hesitation smash it against the side of Dr. Christopher McRae's head.
He sways for a few seconds before crumpling to the ground. I unlock the car , drag his limp body over to it, open the boot and throw him in. My body is on complete auto-pilot. Everything is being done by some strange force, pushing my limbs this way and that while I watch from a far away vantage point.
I climb into the driver's seat of the car and drive away, so wrapped up in the recent event to notice the slight movement of the curtains in the upstairs bedroom window of the house.

Thanks to ShirtGuyDom for giving me this brilliant idea after he posted a blog on his ideas of a dream video game idea. I will now mimic his idea by posting my own dream video game.
Now, like Shirt, I am a huge fan of the open world/free roam genre yet feel, due to lack of current hardware capabilities and the need for a lineal plot line in the games, these so called "free roam" games are merely a linear game with the added option of making your own way about the vast expanse of world to explore.
Although traipsing through jungle and speeding across desert gives a feeling of slight freedom, you never have any true objective, you are merely visiting additional places created by the programmer just to muck about and have a laugh.
My idea would involve removing almost all forms of linear gameplay elements and leaving the player to their own devices.
Imagine a virtual Earth where you can visit any country, any city and apply for any job you wish; let it be an office drone, a professional skateboarder, an assassin or president of the united states.
Taking the idea from the soon-to-be-released Fallout 3, you begin as a baby, creating what your character will look like throughout his/her life, what their personality will be like and their name. Other things such as where they are brought up and how wealthy/poor their family is is chosen by the console its self.
You then move to growing up, beginning by crawling about, playing with toys, then you move to school, where it is possible to begin long term friendships with a diverse group of characters. The school is in 4 parts, Nursery/Kindergarden, Primary/Elementary, High School and College/University.
Each school stage involves a series of tasks that must be fulfilled by the character, be it in nursery to draw a crayon picture using the analogue stick, completing an exam in high school or taking part in the school relay race; all of these tasks will eventually calculate what your character could do when they are older.
The school stage is effectively a glorified selection process for what would usually be, in games such as The Sims just a matter of clicking a series of sliders choosing the character's intelligence, stamina etc.
From the "Education" stage you move into the main game where you begin in your randomly chosen country with a bare flat, your qualifications and a college fee.
This is where the real fun begins.
The choices you can make are so diverse and so many that it would take 3 blog posts to list the numerous ideas I already have, so instead i will just play out a possible life of a character.
Lets start in...France. You begin as the son/daughter of a small time wine merchant in a small villiage in Southern France. You can go anywhere you want in the battered Renault Scenic your father has given you as a leaving present. There is only a limited amount of fuel and you don't have much money so the best thing to do will be to make your way to a city. So you plonk yourself in the car, which, has a handy sat nav installed, this will serve as your road guide for the game. This would not be a HUD but would actually be placed on the dashboard and would be viewed by pressing a certain button.
The sat nav not only works as a road map but also as an almost portal system, you can plot journeys to specific destinations within the distance of your current amount of fuel. Once the journey has been plotted it is possible to drive it yourself, let the car drive automatically, or to skip the entire journey altogether.
So lets say I have made my way to Marseille, I can now park my car in the city and have a wander about...
Now the largest problem with free roam games for me is the inability to enter every structure, although this would be extremely difficult it would still be a good thing to have; but not all the doors would be unlocked, houses and warehouses would be locked by the owners but it would be possible to access the areas by breaking a window or picking the lock after learning the necessary skills.
So I've made my way into a newsagents and make my way over to the counter. I press the appropriate button to speak with the character and have a choice of answers, but not your usual 3 or 4. The answers are split into catergories and count up to over 50 different replies to the person you are conversing with.
I ask for a job and hand over my credentials. The person accepts and I am given an identification card for the store.
Just a quickie about jobs. It is not only possible to get a job by asking a clerk or shop owner. You can also find jobs on billboards, in newspapers and on the internet in the game.
They range from pretty much anything you can imagine within reason, obviously nothing like a time traveller or anything, this is set in a sudo-realistic world set some years into the near future but nothing sci-fi is included.
God, this is gonna be long winded, bear with me, i have a lot of ideas to write down and quite a few might not make sense but they do to me.
Part 2 coming soon...

There are a whole bunch of trophies, and are pretty much what you'd expect them to be. Getting a certain number of kills with this weapon, finding this number of treasures, etc.

Yes, the name is something like FOXAndTheHounds. It might have to be FOX&TheHounds or something because of the character limit.

That sounds like an extremely well thought out and planned murder - which is not what happens when a man comes home and finds his wife in bed with another man. That's a murder of passion and it is rarely thought out so well, nor covered up so meticulously.
It's not a bad story i'm just trying to critique it as best i can for you.

No I need to be like level 5 and have 10 hours of playtime or something. Stupid how that all didn't transfer over from the beta. I'll post a journal whenever I get it up and running.

The 15 Best Treks of the Himalayas
Published 12:09 am, 24 Aug 2015
Wondering what the 15 greatest treks in the Himalayas are? Home to the world's highest mountains most trekkers head straight for Everest Base Camp and while it's a great option the opportunities for adventure abound among the peaks of the Himalayas of which over 100 exceed 7000m or 24000 feet. Here is a quick rundown of 15 great treks from Bhutan to India starting with Nepal. The Greatest Treks of Nepal Nepal lies almost in the middle of the Himalaya and while it's a small country it hosts 8 of 14 of all the world's mountains over 8000m. #1: Everest Base Camp This has to be our all time favorite trek in the Himalayas. Great views of Everest, a good trail, wonderful tea houses to stay in and almost continuous views of some of the tallest peaks in the world will keep your attention during what is typically an 11 day trek. The trail ends at Everest Base Camp where you can look directly up the ice fall of the Khumbu Glacier towards the peak of Everest which is still an impressive 3500m above you. On the way you will see 3 of the worlds 10 tallest peaks […]

7 Great Reasons to Choose the Langtang Trek
Published 12:28 am, 2 Aug 2015
The Langtang trek is a relatively short trek (from 6 to 9 days) that combines fantastic mountain views and excellent tea house accommodation. What's more is that Syabrubesi (1400m) the jumping off point for the trek is just a six hour drive from Kathmandu. Compared to the Everest Base Camp or Annapurna this trek receives just a handful of visitors. The trek starts with a bumpy but sometimes hair-rising six hour drive to the small hill station of Syabrubesi (1400m). The road follows the same path as that to Pokhara from Kathmandu but heads towards the Langtang region about 50km from Kathmandu. It's impressive to see the small farming villages with tightly terraced fields hugging the mountain sides. Leaving the road at Syabrubesi one follows the trail up the Langtang valley. The first few days are spent climbing alongside the river, the Langtang Khola, through a beautiful forest of Oaks and Rhododendron. After a steep climb to Ghoratabela (2970m) the river canyon widens up into a broad U-shaped glacially carved valley reveling the beautiful peak of Langtang Lirung (7227m) to the north and Naya Kanga (5844m) to the south. It's another 2 days walk up to the last tea houses […]

4 Great Day Hikes in the Upper Langtang Valley
Published 5:48 am, 21 Jul 2015
If you are thinking of the Langtang Trek make sure that you save at least a few days for some of the great day hikes in the upper part of the valley or better yet arrange for some camping equipment and arrange an extra night beyond all the tea houses. Here is a look at four of the best options for day hikes from Kyanjin Gompa. Kyanjin Ri – Kyanjin Ri (4773m / 15655 ft) is situated directly northeast of Kyanjin Gompa and the trail making switchbacks up the face of the hill is clearly visible from the small village below. While it's almost a 1000m climb to the summit of Kyanjin Ri it still has the feeling of a small hill lost in the general sea of much larger peaks. Looking up from Kyanjin Gompa its easy to mistake the prayer flags on what is a false summit of the mountain and actually only about two-thirds of the way to the top. The climb is not at all technical but it is steep and the trail is not the greatest. It will take most people 3 to 5 hours to reach the summit and return. The views from the summit are […]

Kyanjin Ri– The Highpoint of the Langtang Trek
Published 5:25 pm, 13 Jul 2015
Kyanjin Ri (4773m / 15655 ft), like Kala Patthar on the Everest Base Camp Trek, is the highest point most trekkers reach on the Langtang Trek. Kyanjin Ri is a small hill by Himalayan standards that sits just to the north east of Kyanjin Gumba (3830m). Its well worth the 3 to 5 hours it will take to get to the summit to see the fantastic views of the upper Langtang Valley and surrounding peaks and glaciers. Here is a quick summary of how to reach the top and what you will see. Most trekkers ascending Kyanjin Ri will make the almost 1000m / 3200ft climb up from the small village of Kyanjin Gumba. It's best to get an early start before the clouds start to build up in the afternoon and while the ground is still frozen. I started out for the summit around 7am but it might have been a bit easier to go at 5:30 or 6am since the sun was already starting to melt the frozen earth making the relatively steep trail somewhat slippery. When Kyanjin Ri first comes into view on the way up to Kyanjin Gumba a number of small trails switch-backing up […]

4 Great Day Hikes from Namche Bazaar
Published 10:17 pm, 9 Jun 2015
Almost everyone headed to Everest Base Camp spends at least a day acclimatizing in Namche Bazaar the largest village in the entire Khumbu Region. We typically organize our Everest Base Camp Trek so that you can take a rest/acclimatization day in Namche and our guests usually hike up to the Everest View Hotel for a great panorama of the Himalayas which includes Everest, Ama Dablam and Lhotse. While this is a great excursion, it's good to know what the options are. If you're trekking with us to Base Camp and one of these sounds more appealing than the Everest View Hotel hike, just let us know and we can arrange it for you. Here's a look at what we think are the four best day hikes from Namche: Khunde and Khumjung Loop – These two villages are known as the twin villages and lie in what's known as the Green Valley, in reference to the standard green roofs featured by every house except the roof of the local gompa. The villages are home to a traditional Sherpa culture and while having numerous facilities for tourists are less busy than the villages along the main Everest Base Camp route. The […]

"Our research suggests increasing group size puts more pressure on the evolution of coloration across different sub-regions of the face," Michael Alfaro said.
This allows members of a species to have "more communication avenues, a greater repertoire of facial vocabulary, which is advantageous if you're interacting with many members of your species," he said.
The research, federally funded by the National Science Foundation and supported through a postdoctoral fellowship from the UCLA Institute for Society and Genetics, was published Nov. 11 in the journal Nature Communications.
Lead study author Sharlene Santana used photographs of primate faces for her analysis and devised a new method to quantify the complex patterns of primate faces. She divided each face into several regions; classified the color of each part of the face, including the hair and skin; and assigned a score based on the total number of different colors across the facial regions. This numerical score is called the "facial complexity" score. The life scientists then studied how the complexity scores of primate faces were related to primates' social systems.
The habitat where species live presents many potential pressures that could have influenced the e

Didn't get to watch the game live. After watching, Maryland dropped easily 5 first down type yardage passes. Part was pressure/hearing footsteps, I'm sure, but this was a less dominant defensive performance than against BYU, IMHO. Also, delayed handoffs seem to work against us. Their best yards on the ground seemed to come from those where we over-pursued and didn't stay in gaps.

Also, FYI, the tassel did not originally do that. I used "Puppet Warp" in Photoshop to change how it was laying so that it would cover it up.

That was actually not a sun, but supposed to be a gold-foil'ish medallion for the book cover a la The Newbery or Caldecott awards.

All-in-all, it did end up kind of looking like a sun, so here's hoping!

I don't expect them to, but that would be badass if they worked things around my schedule. My point was that I had a well-planned out day that involves things I cannot back out of and thus I will miss the whole game if it's moved to noon. That's it. However, I upvoted you anyway...

However, during football season when I'm constantly rocking my UM gear, I get non-stop "you got something on your shirt..." jokes and "Michigan?" It's annoying as shit. I couldn't even go to the 4th of July Parade without people IN THE PARADE making comments. What the hell? Anyway, all that to say that I'm out next weekend due to parental duties (my wife is working, so I have the kids all day). I'm hoping to get up there for Rutgers, though. I appreciate the offer and maybe we can make it work in November?

Driving good employees away
Via the NY Times: According to Aon Hewitt's annual survey on salaried employees' compensation, the share of payroll budgets devoted to straight salary increases sank to a low of 1.8 percent in the depths of the recession. It dropped to 4.3 percent in 2001, from a high of 10 percent in 1981. It has rebounded modestly since the recession, but still only rose 2.9 percent in 2014, the survey of 1,064 organizations found. (These figures are not adjusted for inflation.) Unemployment may be down but companies still have their ways to drive the good employees away. Continue reading »

Front-End Designer/Developer, Panoply
Slate magazine helped pioneer podcasting back in 2005, but in the 10 years since, the technology powering on-demand audio has barely changed.

- Experience with HTML5, CSS3, and modern JavaScript
- Experience with considerations needed when building sites for mobile devices
- Experience with tools for analyzing and diagnosing Web page performance
- Excitement about new technologies and techniques, along with a strong desire to learn and evolve
- Experience with git

- Have a love for all things podcast
- Can pronounce Panoply properly

On Friday someone suggested that Solr offers per-queue transactionality. Further testing indicates this isn't the case. If a series of changes are entered on one queue and a commit occurs on another queue, all pending changes across all queues are committed and reflected in the index. Consider yourselves warned.
Solr has an optimize command to reduce the size of the index. This is important to performance because Solr attempts to hold the full index in memory. Using the optimize command can push index size down to 20% of pre-optimized levels. If you're using Sunspot to interface with Solr, it doesn't expose the optimize command. Here's a way you can call it directly:
Sunspot.session.session.send(:connection).update RSolr::Message::Generator.new.build { |b| b.optimize }
If you're using nginx on EngineYard, you might be surprised when your configuration changes don't take effect for https:// users. EngineYard keeps ssl configuration in a separate file — look for [project name].ssl.conf

Some of our folks using delayed job were having trouble because they needed access to the RAILS_ENV. They modified their delayed_job start and restart commands to export the RAILS_ENV into the environment. When exported, the ENV value is inherited by the daemonized child process:
cd ./project_root && export RAILS_ENV=production && delayed_job start
Solr optimize is great – just be forewarned that during the optimization process it requires a lot of diskspace, anywhere from 1.5x-3x the size of your index.
Googling for "solr optimize disk space" brings up lots of other discussions on this topic.

Houston lost Yao on Nov. 10, and sank to a 5-12 start. By then, rumors were swirling that Morey was ready to shake up the roster, and that virtually everyone was in play for a possible trade leading up to the Feb. 24 deadline.
Leading scorer Kevin Martin conceded that the Rockets were distracted by the early uncertainty.
"Going into the season, 90 percent of the people on the team felt like a trade asset," Martin said. "Everyone's looking over their shoulder. That's not going to get you anywhere."
The Rockets traded point guard Aaron Brooks to Phoenix and forward Shane Battier to Memphis at the deadline. Houston went 17-8 after the All-Star break and set an NBA record by missing the playoffs for the fifth time with a winning record.
Martin averaged 23.5 points, ranked third in 3-pointers (176), shot 89 percent from the free-throw line and tied Kevin Durant for the most made (594).
Point guard Kyle Lowry excelled late in the season, and became the eighth player in team history to record at least 1,000 points (1,011) and have 500 or more assists (500) in one season.
Chuck Hayes, at 6 feet 6, developed into a dependable low-post defender, flustering taller players such as Kevin Garnett and Blake Griffin with his powerful lower body.
Hayes is a free agent, and wants to stay in Houston, but admits that he's worried.
"I'm scared," Hayes said. "I hate the fact of not knowing. My parents will tell you, I hate surprises. Might as well just give it to me straight. I'm just worried and scared, because I don't know what happens."
And the Rockets seem to feel the same way about Adelman.
"That's the No. 1 thing we need to address," Martin said. "They all know how we feel about Coach Adelman. We just want him here."
