Mooch (Paperback)
Usually Ships in 1-5 Days
Bruno Dante is the best boiler-room salesman in Los Angeles. There's only one problem: he can't keep a good thing going. When he becomes involved with a beautiful but dangerous fellow Orbit Computer Supplies employee--sexy ex-stripper, gangbanger, and crackhead Jimmi Valiente--Bruno's ready to chuck his job and his most recent twelve-step program. Leaping headfirst into an impossibly destructive love-hate relationship with the addictive Jimmi, Bruno finds it's not long at all before his world begins to spiral out of control . . . again.
About the Author
Dan Fante is the author of the memoir Fante, the novels 86'd, Chump Change, Mooch, and Spitting Off Tall Buildings, and several books of poetry, short stories, and plays. He lives in Los Angeles with his wife and son.
Praise For…
"Dark and bleak, dirty and real. . . . Dan Fante's style is raw, insightful, and deftly realized."
-Time Out New York
"Breathtaking writing. . . . Angry, acerbic, self-pitying and often painfully funny. . . Read it at your peril."
-Anthony Bourdain
"This devastating and terrifying book . . . sees Fante writing the kind of emotionally tormented novel that his father would surely have written if he'd been born into Dan's generation."

Venice plans facelift for historic beach pavilion
Published: Friday, August 29, 2014 at 4:39 p.m.
Last Modified: Friday, August 29, 2014 at 4:39 p.m.
VENICE - The Venice City Council decided at a Friday morning budget workshop to move forward with securing more than $230,000 in funds for improvements to the Venice Beach Pavilion.
Now the proposed improvement funds will be added to the city's budget, which will be voted on in September. The pavilion, completed in February 1964, celebrated its 50th anniversary this year.
A majority of the proposed funds, $200,000, would be spent on repaving and expanding the facility's parking lot. Another $25,000 would be spent on improving the structures bathrooms and changing areas, and approximately $6,300 will be spent on installing nearby shade structures, such as umbrella-shaded benches.
Council member Bob Daniels said he'd like to see the Venice Beach Pavilion's bathrooms improved by the beginning of tourist season. Giving the pavilion's amenities, a facelift was imperative for making a good impression on visitors.
"If we are interested in enhancing tourism in this city, the bathrooms are the place to start," agreed council member Jim Bennett.

I'm working on a relatively generic 2D AABB collision detection system for a game engine, and I've re-written it more times than I'd like to admit due to not calculating/recording specific details of each collision. Right now this is what I'm collecting:
- Collsion Time (the fraction of an update cycle in the game loop)
- Location of the collision
- ID of the colliding object
Each object has a Set that holds this data for each collision (I'm working with a Component/Entity System) so other Systems can use the data recorded. The problem I just ran into was I needed to know which side of the object the collision takes place on.
Now, my question isn't how to determine this, but rather what other values/points of interest should I calculate/record per collision? Or, what do you look for in a standard collision detection system?

- "...a basket of funny custard-coloured furballs that were humming loudly..."
- —Description of puffskeins at the Magical Menagerie[src]
A Puffskein is covered in soft fur and spherical in shape. It is a popular pet that does not object to being cuddled or thrown about. The Puffskein is a scavenger, eating anything from leftovers to spiders, but it particularly likes to use its long thin tongue to eat wizards' bogeys while they sleep. This makes them a popular wizarding pet. The Puffskein is easy to care for, and they emit a low humming sound when they are content.[1] A group of Puffskeins or Pygmy Puffs is referred to as a poffle.[2]
Puffskein hair has magical properties, and is used as a potion ingredient, such as in Zygmunt Budge's variation of the Laughing Potion.[3]
Ron Weasley owned a Puffskein at one point. Its demise is attributed to Fred, who supposedly used it for Bludger practise. A nest of dead puffskeins were also discovered in 12 Grimmauld Place under the sofa.
They were modified by Fred and George to create Pygmy Puffs. Ginny purchased a purple Pygmy Puff and named it Arnold.
Behind the scenes
- Puffskeins may draw their inspiration from the television series Star Trek's Tribbles, as they share many of the same characteristics, such as emitting a purring or humming sound when content, and that they are both balls of fur.
- Fanged puffskeins are mentioned as a possible answer to a question on the W.O.M.B.A.T. (first test, question 7).

Strange behavior when using vtype with combo box.
I am trying to validate the user's selection in a combobox using a vtype. The value passed to the test function of my vtype is the display value not the underlying value I actually want to validate. I can't even get the underlying value by calling getValue() on the combobox form field itself from within the test function. Is this the intended behavior? Is there any way to get the value of the combobox from within the vtype test function?

Yes, this is by design. Comboboxes that require validation are usually the editable:true type comboboxes without a valueField, so the raw text is sent to the validation process.
If you want to modify this then you should write a processValue method, e.g.
processValue: function(v) { var r = this.findRecord(this.displayField, v); return r ? r.get(this.valueField) : ''; }

Thanks Condor.
I'll definitely include that little code snippet in my bag of tricks. But I have to tell you I'm still shaking my head over this one.

Petrobras and Sinopec, as the Chinese firm is also known, signed a letter of intent to study a possible joint venture to build the Premium 1 refinery in the northeastern Brazilian state of Maranhao. Premium 1 will process 300,000 bpd initially, but there are plans to eventually expand further.
By JEFF FICK
RIO DE JANEIRO -- Brazilian state-run oil company Petroleo
Brasileiro, or Petrobras, said late Tuesday that it could team
with China Petroleum & Chemical Corp. to build a
much-needed refinery that would help reduce heavy imports of
gasoline and diesel.
Petrobras and Sinopec, as the Chinese firm is also known,
signed a letter of intent to study a possible joint venture to
build the Premium 1 refinery in the northeastern
Brazilian state of Maranhao. Petrobras announced a similar
joint-venture study to build the Premium 2 refinery in nearby Ceara state with
South Korea's GS Energy Corp. on June 10.
Brazil desperately needs to increase refining capacity as
growing consumption of gasoline and diesel outpaces current
processing capacity of slightly more than 2 million barrels per
day. The refining shortfall has forced
Petrobras to import heavy amounts of the two fuels over the
past two years, severely undercutting the company's
Petrobras is currently building two refineries, Comperj in
Rio de Janeiro state and Abreu e Lima in Pernambuco state.
Abreu e Lima, the first of the already delayed projects, won't be ready until
November 2014 at the earliest.
Despite the added refining capacity, Petrobras still
estimates consumption will outpace refining capacity by nearly
1 million bpd in 2020 without the two so-called "premium"
Refining accounts for about 27% of
Petrobras's $237 billion 2013-2017 investment plan.
The two premium refineries aren't expected to be complete
before 2017 or 2018, a timetable that will force Petrobras to
make a final decision on the two projects by July, CEO Maria das
Gracas Foster said in an interview earlier this year.
Premium 1 will process 300,000 bpd initially, but there are
plans to eventually expand the refinery by another 300,000 bpd in
2020. Premium 2 will be able to process about 300,000 bpd when

Engineers and designers are highly skilled individuals. Forcing them to enter design changes using tables, forms and spreadsheets is unproductive and uneconomical, and it increases the likelihood of human error—this is the way that most instrumentation software systems currently work. For too long, software vendors have denied engineers and designers the simple practicality of a graphical visual engineering interface with "drag and drop" capability and inbuilt intelligence, ensuring changes are automatically replicated into all the associated data and databases.

Alabama drills LSU, 38-17
|Auburn quarterback Nick Marshall (14) tries to get away from Tennessee linebacker Brent Brewer (17) in the third quarter of an NCAA college football game on Saturday, Nov. 9, 2013 in Knoxville, Tenn. (AP Photo/Wade Payne)
TUSCALOOSA, Ala. (AP) — AJ McCarron threw three touchdown passes, T.J. Yeldon ran for 133 yards and two scores and No. 1 Alabama overwhelmed No. 10 LSU 38-17 Saturday night.
The Crimson Tide (9-0, 6-0 Southeastern Conference) turned to power football to take control of a game that was tied early in the third quarter. Yeldon carried 18 times in the second half, 25 overall, after catching the game-winning touchdown pass in last season's meeting with the Tigers (7-3, 3-3).
Alabama scored the final 21 points to brush aside its first challenge since Game 2 against Texas A&M.
McCarron was a workmanlike 14-of-20 passing for 179 yards, letting Yeldon, Kenyan Drake and their blockers assert control.
Zach Mettenberger completed 16 of 23 passes for 241 yards and a touchdown but was also sacked four times.
It was the most points Alabama has scored against LSU since a 41-12 victory in 1947.
Auburn 55, Tennessee 23: In Knoxville, Tenn., Auburn doesn't have to worry about passing to remain in the running for a Southeastern Conference title.
Nick Marshall rushed for 214 of Auburn's 444 yards Saturday as the seventh-ranked Tigers needed just nine pass attempts to roll to a 55-23 victory over Tennessee. Auburn also scored on a kickoff return and a punt return - the first time the Tigers have ever done both in the same game — and set an NCAA single-game record by averaging 44.85 yards on seven combined kickoff and punt returns.
"I still believe we can throw the football," Auburn coach Gus Malzahn said. "There's no doubt in my mind we can, but when you don't have to, you don't."
Auburn had attempted just nine passes last week in a 35-17 victory over Arkansas. Marshall's third and final pass completion Saturday was a 25-yard touchdown pass to C.J. Uzomah with 6:36 remaining in the first quarter as the Tigers (9-1, 5-1 SEC) earned their sixth straight win to remain in control of their destiny in the SEC Western Division race.
Marshall ran for two touchdowns on just 14 carries and threw for a third score. Tre Mason rushed for 117 yards and three touchdowns as Auburn averaged 8.4 yards per carry and had the most yards rushing by a Tennessee opponent since Alabama ran for 457 in a 56-28 victory over the Volunteers in 1986.
No. 3 Florida State 59, Wake Forest 3: In Winston-Salem, N.C., Jameis Winston threw two touchdown passes, and Florida State tied a school record with six interceptions as it clinched ACC a championship game berth.
Nate Andrews took an interception 56 yards for a touchdown and Jalen Ramsey returned a fumble 23 yards for a score on consecutive plays.
The Seminoles (9-0, 7-0) claimed the inside track to a BCS title game berth with No. 2 Oregon's loss Thursday. They kept firm grasp of it by forcing seven turnovers and breaking the stadium record of 56 points they set in 1994.
Florida State outgained Wake Forest (4-6, 2-5) 296-166 and turned those turnovers into five TDs and a field goal.
No. 11 Texas A&M 51, Mississippi State 41: In College Station, Texas, Johnny Manziel threw for 446 yards and tied a career-high with five touchdown passes to lead Texas A&M to a win in what could be the Heisman Trophy winner's last home game.
Mississippi State cut the lead to 10 points early in the fourth quarter, but Manziel threw his fifth touchdown pass to make it 44-27 for A&M (8-2, 4-2 Southeastern Conference). The defense grabbed an interception and Ben Malena's 2-yard TD run extended the lead to 51-27.
Dax Prescott threw for 149 yards and two scores and ran for 154 yards for Mississippi State (4-5, 1-4).
No. 9 Missouri 48, Kentucky 17: In Lesington, Ky., Maty Mauk threw five touchdown passes, four to Dorial Green-Beckham, and No. 9 Missouri cruised past Kentucky.
Making his fourth consecutive start in place of the injured James Franklin, the Tigers' redshirt freshman completed 17 of 28 attempts for 203 yards and took full advantage of 6-foot-6 sophomore Green-Beckham, whose TD receptions set a school record.
Mauk added a 6-yard scoring pass to Henry Josey, who also rushed for two TDs, including an 86-yarder.
Missouri (9-1, 5-1 Southeastern Conference) allowed Kentucky (2-7, 0-5) two touchdowns in the third quarter but the Mauk-to-Green-Beckham connection answered both scores with TDs.
The victory helped the Tigers stay a half-game ahead of idle South Carolina (5-2) atop the East division heading into their second bye and gave coach Gary Pinkel his fourth nine-win season in 13 years with Missouri.
No. 15 Oklahoma State 42, Kansas 6: In Stillwater, Okla., Clint Chelf completed 19 of 37 passes for 265 yards and three touchdowns to lead No. 15 Oklahoma State to a 42-6 victory over Kansas Saturday.

Any Jumbowoot coupons since December?
Has anyone gotten an Order of the Cockatrice email since December. Is Jumbowoot on a break?
31 Answers answer
Nothing here since 12/05. ಠ_ಠ
I received one every month until recently. I thought I it was just me not participating enough.
Perhaps this is another cutback that woot is making so it can be more profitable.
I was wondering the same thing, but I didn't dare ask...
Yea, I wasn't sure what was up -- I knew I had cut back a little bit...glad to hear it's not just me.
I missed the last couple and I figured at some point the coupons woudl stop coming. Thankful for what I got over the past few years no matter what the status of the program is
Given it appears the TAXSUCKS coupon is no longer valid, I wouldn't be surprised if wootazon has killed off the monthly coupons as well. But can't be sure since no staffer replied to the recent question about the taxsucks code. For those who don't know, taxsucks was a coupon code for $5 off any order more than $40 in states where sales tax is applied, however it no longer seems to work as of the last week or so.
I thought about this when the random shirt deal came up. I have used my coupon almost every time on random shirts.
I had assumed that I just wasn't active enough and missed the question when everyone else got their.
No random shirts for me this go around :(
Let's ask @jumbowoot.
@luvche21: I thought the same thing, but then I figured if there was a coupon someone would have undoubtedly jumped on the question section to.......thank @jumbowoot.
Nothing for me, either. As other folks have said, I wondered, but hated to ask. I do hope the coupon codes haven't disappeared for good. They were a nice incentive to participate (as if I needed more incentive), and I always thought of them as a "free shipping" deal. I have to confess to buying things I wouldn't necessarily have bought otherwise for fear of allowing the coupon code to expire. (My name is belyndag and I have a Woot addiction....)
@belyndag: I agree, I looked at the coupon as free shipping and did use it a couple of times on items I would have skipped hitting the big old button on otherwise. So in effect the coupon did generate some sales that Woot! woudld not have received if I did not have one available to use. I can also think of a few itmes recently that I woudl have bought with the coupon but did not because I didn't have one. Again, if they are done issuing them thanks for the ones I got.
3 hours and this question hasn't been deleted... maybe we'll get an answer guys
I haven't recently, but I've had periods of slacking.
The last time I received one was on 11/16/2012. I had the feeling they stopped it for the new year.
Maybe they somehow ported the coupons over to facebook like the BOCs.
I look forward to the day that companies realize Facebook sucks, and attempting to put all their eggs in that basket WILL fail. Hell, just a couple years ago Pepsi made a big fuss about how they would no longer have Superbowl commercials, and instead would focus their efforts on 'social media', mainly Facebook. That apparently worked so well they saw no need to go slinking back to the Superbowl this year.
Oh wait, except they totally did.
Fact. By spending all your efforts on Facebook, you are excluding a portion of your customer base. It can also be argued that you are focusing on...well, shall we say not the best quality audience? Companies that shat themselves in their haste to get on AOL were rewarded with a very stupid customer base that rarely actually paid out. Facebook is the new AOL, figure it out.
Haven't gotten (profanity) in months. Thinking of taking a laxative. Care to help, @jumbowoot ?
And here I thought I wasn't getting the coupon because I wasn't around much!
@jumbowoot is busy riding dragons and fighting rollercoasters. Give him time and he'll show up. Or not.
@stile99: I wish I could give your post 10,000 upvotes. Businesses (along with the public at large) are going to soon realize what Facebook really is and regret putting so much on it/into it.
It's been a long time since a got a coupon!
I just figured it was because Woot didn't like me anymore.
@bingo969: it's not that woot doesn't like you anymore. It's just that they don't like you anymore...
I haven't gotten many. Not as active as many of you. But, no, I haven't gotten one since before Christmas, either.
Everybody knows that if you want to get Jumbowoots attention you need to create a Jumbo meme.
I didn't get any the last two times they were given out. Just figured I'm not doing enough here.
I missed the last one (didn't post a deal on Black Friday) but got many before that. Sadly, I didn't use like 3 of them, because all three of them expired in December. Not sure why the first one had such a long lead time and the last had such a short one. Perhaps because they were phasing out the program and wanted it off the books?
I haven't seen any of them either, getting a coupon is like winning the lottery!
I bought much more in the past when I had the coupons.
I haven't been around as much since I haven't been getting them. Please give us a little something @jumbowoot!
@stile99: While I agree with nearly all your comments and understand the use of hyperbole, I'm really, really tired of the raggedy old canard about AOL users. AOL was the very first company to make the the internet and usenet available to most Americans. Back in 1994, AOL was the only company in my city to provide a dial-up access that didn't involve a long-distance call. AOL had 43 million users at its peak. I'm one of them. After 20 years I'm a pretty happy and proficient computer user. My spouse occasionally teases me because I still like AOL's all-in-one interface, but I use a broad base of ISP's, software, and devices when I choose.
I'm inclined to think that had AOL not grown as it did, internet/web activity would be only a shadow of what it is today.
@magic cave: porn drove the internet to what it is today, not AOL
AOL just let us see the porn
I haven't received any kind of coupon in probably about 4 months now. I used to receive $5 coupons all the time and come to woot.com everyday. Without the $5 coupon for "free shipping" basically, a lot of deals become non-deals. I was going to get my brother one of those bead pillows the other day and when I looked at Amazon.com it was only a few dollars more and had primed shipping. If I had the coupon it would have been a great deal.
I've not only skipped over a lot of woot deals since the coupons stopped flowing but I've also found myself coming to woot.com less often than I used to and only clicking through one or two pages of community deals as well.
IDK maybe we all got spoiled. It did IMHO make us feel like we where appriciated for being active and helping drive the feeling of community here. Maybe Wootazon does not need us or the feeling of community any more.
I think what ever brought woot down as often a clinically depressed teen all week has probably been sucking up @Jumbowoots time as well as the defanistration of @inkycats into the untempered void.

I'm a C# dev and I have plans of starting to develop apps targeting Android, which of course means Java. I have heard good things about Mono for Android and the idea of reusing my skill set is appealing, however the licensing cost (for now) is a bit prohibitive to me. On the other hand, from what I can see, Java is very similar to C#, so I'm predicting that shifting my skills to it will be more or less easy (easier than shifting to Obj-C I guess).
Am I wrong in assuming that?
Are there any hidden costs I'm blind to?

8 Important Lessons Learned from '80s Cartoons
CARTOON: G.I. Joe
LESSON: Knowing is half the battle.
The other half of the battle is kicking Cobra' terrorist ass. And with the coolest soldier codenames ever --Snake Eyes, Duke, Lady Jaye, Shipwreck-- winning the war on terror should be no problem. Good will always win out over evil, because good guys work together (Team Work! Cooperation!), while bad guys are ruthless cowards who turn tail and run whenever G.I. Joe' laser guns get to zappin'. As Sergeant Slaughter once said: "Our enemies are innovative and resourceful, and so are we. They never stop thinking about new ways to harm our country and our people and neither do we."
Now that' some good strategery.
How it affected us as adults: Actually, we're pretty certain that our strategy for the Iraq War was conceived after a two day long G.I. Joe marathon in the Pentagon. They just implicitly trusted that the good guys were going to win, that firing off our guns would make the bad guys run for the caves and that giving everyone cute nicknames was somehow endearing. When things didn't turn out the way they'd planned, the administration placed the blame on faulty intelligence, or in other words: "Knowing is half the battle, and we unfortunately didn't know shit."
CARTOON: Scooby Doo
LESSON: Trust no one.
Those phantoms in the fog are actually malevolent hicks, dressed up as ghosts to scare you off their spooky farm. That monster hiding in the attic is actually old man McGee, trying to find the treasure buried in the floorboards. And that happy-go-lucky frat boy, Fred, is actually a bloodthirsty killer. Don't turn your back on him. Or the girls. Or your dog
"'¦Or maybe we've just been spending too much time in the Mystery Machine, and got a little contact high paranoia. Hey, it happens. You want a Scooby Snack? Yeah, it is dog food. So what? You're really harshing my mellow man. What are you, a narc?
How it affected us as adults: We can't be certain, but it would appear that our habit of, upon being dumped, grabbing hold of our ex-girlfriends' chin and yanking upward, started with this show.

The Mullinville Recreation Commission will host an Independence Day celebration on Wednesday, July 4, in downtown Mullinville. The annual events will be a countywide Fourth of July celebration with a number of children's events, fireworks and the always-popular duck race.
"We've done this in Mullinville since the tornado," said Cathy Sherer, a Mullinville resident who is helping the organizers. "Everybody enjoys a get-together."
The evening's events, which begin at 5:30 p.m. include bingo, a cakewalk, a marshmallow eating contest and "a bunch of races."
Along with the egg races and sack races, the always-popular duck races will return for the 236-year independence anniversary celebration.
The duck race runs along main street sidewalks. The ducks will travel along the man-made waterway to the finish line, where a winning duck basks in the glory of a race well run. "We've done it for several years, people just seem to really enjoy it," said Sherer.
There will also be a sandbox search, where children can sift through the sandbox for treasures like a bouncy ball, a ring or cold hard cash.
The Mullinville Fire Department will be manning the barbeque pit and the local Farm Bureau will make a lot of friends with their traditional ice cream selection.
When asked what she was looking forward to, Sherer expressed what many county residents must be thinking after the recent week-long heat wave.
"I would really like it if it wasn't 108 degrees," she laughed.

Nothing to add to the title of the question.
2 Ways:
The clicking can be done either in the game window, or on the minimap.
The Keybindings can be found under:
Menu->Options->HotKeys->Global->Unit Management
And either:
Also, you can click directly at the game window, no need to go to the minimap (even though the keybinding says "Ping Minimap"
Two ways:
Click the Ping icon (looks like radio waves, sorta like ((•)) ), then click anywhere in the minimap.
Press Alt+G on the keyboard, then click anywhere in the minimap.
1) You can hold alt and click on the minimap.
2) Hold alt + g and click on the map.
You can modify the keybindings in the menu - for example, I changed my ping back to ALT + Left-Click.
Patch 1.5 also modified the behavior so that you could ping your minimap by ping-clicking on the actual playfield you're looking at. Thus you no longer have to mouse down to the minimap, find your current view location, and then ping - you can simply ping-click the main playfield in front of you and the ping appears on their minimap at the correct location.
alt + Click or ⌥ + g + click for Mac
In patch 1.5 Blizzard changed the default keyboard mapping such that holding alt and clicking on the map or minimap no longer worked. To revert this change, load up the hotkeys dialogue and look for Quick Ping in Global - Unit Management and simply change this back to alt.

11 Celebrities Who Were Secretly Total Badasses
#3. Robert Mitchum
Even if you're too young to recognize the name Robert Mitchum, you'll probably recognize his voice:
... and you'll definitely recognize his knuckles:
While his contemporaries were content playing pretty boy leading men, Mitchum built a career perfecting the gritty anti-hero, kind of like Humphrey Bogart, but with a much longer career. In fact, we always think of Humphrey Bogart as the quintessential film noir detective Philip Marlowe, but Mitchum played the detective twice, which by the way is twice as many times as Bogart. His most famous character, however, was serial killer Rev. Harry Powell, the guy with the love/hate knuckles up there. Mitchum's portrayal of the evil Rev. Powell was so memorable the character was voted the 29th-greatest villain on AFI's top 100 Villains list.
Landing on a list like that is going to be hard to beat. But Mitchum sure did try.
The Badass:
Mitchum escaped from a chain gang as a 14-year-old kid.
Like a lot of other kids during the Great Depression, Mitchum ended up on the road, riding the railroads and playing the hobo until things got better. Unfortunately, sometimes that meant getting arrested for vagrancy, and sometimes getting arrested meant getting shackled to real criminals and sent out into fields to work.
The bad news was that when the state needed more labor, authorities were known to make up charges to keep prisoners in their employment indefinitely. The good news was that the chains were slipped off the workers' ankles while they worked. So when Mitchum was sent to work on a new Georgia road bordering a swampy forest, he hightailed it to the trees. And made it.
This man's life was a "How-To" guide for Badass.
But being a real-life fugitive from a chain gang was only one chapter in his crazy life. In the next chapter, he boxed as a semipro and ghost-wrote for a celebrity astrologist. In the one after that, Mitchum went blind, but then recovered. The best chapter was the one where Mitchum was one of the very first celebrities arrested for marijuana possession, and was arrested at a "reefer resort." Here's the picture of him doing his 60 days of jail time:
The arrest didn't hurt Mitchum's career at all, even though smoking weed was the 1940s equivalent of shouting racial slurs into a live mic today. In fact, all of his biggest roles were still ahead of him at this point, officially making Mitchum the most successful pot-smoker, chain gang fugitive, former hobo and vocal representation for beef of the 20th century. RIP, Mr. Mitchum.
#2. Audrey Hepburn
Audrey Hepburn is remembered by the world over for her beauty, elegance and damn-near mastery of the fine art of class. She was a UNICEF Goodwill Ambassador before it was popular, a true humanitarian and one of the greatest actresses of all time. Also, she looked like this.
The Badass:
Hepburn worked for the Dutch Resistance by transporting secret messages in her ballet slippers.
While a ballerina in Nazi-occupied Europe young Ms. Audrey Kathleen Ruston was actually an agent for the Dutch Resistance and she performed in a series of secret ballets called "black performances" to raise money for the rebels and their underground war against Hitler.
His only weakness was ballet. And maybe Russia helped a bit.
In one instance, she was actually rounded up by the Germans and forced into a truck, but narrowly escaped when the Nazis pulled over. Another time, she volunteered to rendezvous with a British paratrooper hiding in the forests of Arnhem. Her cover: Go on a stroll through the woods "innocently picking wildflowers," which she used to successfully bribe a German soldier with who later questioned her.
That's right, young Audrey Hepburn outfoxed the fucking Wehrmacht ... through cuteness.
Could you say "no" to those eyes?
#1. Mel Brooks
You know Mel Brooks as the genius behind Blazing Saddles and Young Frankenstein, and as one of the few guys who has actually achieved the elusive EGOT.
He also made this film, which some would argue was just as great an achievement.
The Badass:
If you were ever a fan of Mel Brooks the writer/producer/director/actor/songwriter, well, say hello to Corp. Melvin Kaminsky, the war hero.
The man behind Spaceballs: the Flame Thrower.
Brooks enlisted in the U.S. Army at 17 to fight in World War II. His job? Combat engineer, which meant it was his duty to defuse landmines for the fucking coalition army behind him in a hurry to liberate Europe.
Starring Mel Brooks as himself.
As a Jewish guy battling the Nazis, Brooks found that taunting his enemies was just as cathartic as defusing their bombs. For example, after the Battle of the Bulge, the Germans set up loudspeakers to pump Nazi propaganda out to Allied soldiers. Brooks responded by setting up his own loudspeakers and performing Jewish singer Al Jolson's music for his enemies. Even though it may not have had the same punch as "Springtime for Hitler," coming from Mel Brooks ... burn.

WAYNE, N.J. — Toys"R"Us may be in the throes of an intensely competitive holiday season but several recently announced initiatives are designed to position the company for success beyond Christmas 2012. Expanding its presence in global e-commerce, as well as Asia, the company is launching a dedicated web store, Toysrus.com.cn, in China.
Toys"R"Us is also developing mobile-optimized sites and apps for iOS and Android in 11 markets around the world, including Australia, Canada, France, Germany, Japan, Spain and the U.K. Tablet-optimized sites will be available in select markets as well. Users will have the ability to navigate between Toys"R"Us and Babies"R"Us, allowing them to browse and shop a wide selection of toy and juvenile products. In the coming months, it will introduce the same capabilities in Portugal, Austria and Switzerland, as well as the Netherlands, where it does not currently have a store presence.
"With the launch of our new e-commerce site in China and the addition of mobile shopping capabilities in our international markets, Toys"R"Us is more accessible now than ever before to customers around the globe," said Jerry Storch, chairman and CEO, Toys"R"Us, Inc. "These initiatives help us advance the company's international growth and omnichannel strategies, while allowing more customers to shop with us whenever, wherever and however they choose."
The launch of a web store in China, as well as new international mobile shopping capabilities, follows the company's rapid launch of websites around the world throughout the past three years. In 2010 and 2011, Toys"R"Us, Inc. experienced double digit growth in its global e-commerce business, and generated one billion dollars in online sales last year.
In Oct. 2011, Toys"R"Us acquired the majority stake in its business in Greater China and Southeast Asia from Fung Retailing. In Aug. 2012, Toys"R"Us opened its first stores in Beijing, making its debut in Northern China with two new locations on the eastern side of the capital city, including a side-by-side store with Toys"R"Us and Babies"R"Us under one roof. The following month, the company opened stores in Tianjing Galaxy Mall in Northern China and Nanning Mixc in Southern China. Toys"R"Us currently operates 30 stores across 21 cities throughout China.
Earlier this month, Toys"R"Us announced that international shipping is now available for online orders on Toysrus.com and Babiesrus.com to more than 60 countries across Asia, the Caribbean, Central America, Europe and North and South America. The company is providing this service to its customers in partnership with i-parcel, a leading international air express company that facilitates global shipping capabilities. With international shipping, the company is extending the presence of Toys"R"Us and Babies"R"Us and nearly doubling the number of countries that currently have access to the world's leading dedicated toy and baby products retailer. This includes a number of markets where the company does not currently have a physical presence, such as Mexico and Brazil.

I have a map document in ArcMap and I want to find X and Y of my nodes in a special feature layer. I look through my access database and I just find the Shape Index table which has MinGX, MinGY, MaxGX, MaxGY. I will be thankful if you help me how to find the X , Y of my nodes. Generally, from what source is ArcMap locating the nodes on the map?
If you want to add x-y coords to shape files you could install xtools pro. The free tools will allow you to calculate the x-y of a point, the start / centre/ end x-y of a line and the centroid x-y of a polygon.
You could calculate the values e.g. with python by using the field calculator. The type of calculation depends on the type of feature layer but as you are talking about nodes I assume that you have line features. The expressions for the calculation of the different min and max values would be:
You could populate corresponding fields with these expressions or use them in a script once you have a cursor.
Try using the ADD XY Points Tool in the Arc ToolBOx in the ArcMap if you are not a programmer. That should add points at the nodes as you mentioned.

In the past I've used PCI Geomatica to do something similar using the softwares classification functionality. Are there some tools/tricks in ArcGIS that will partially automate the process. I remember reading somewhere about rasterizing an orthophoto and assigning values to rooftops, which polygons where then created from those values. I can see there being issues in trying to automate the task as there will surely be some inaccuraces do to color, obstructions, image quality, etc.
There are many options for you in ArcGIS, however I would stay open to open-source solutions too. You can purchase an extension for ArcGIS called Feature Analyst, which uses a feature extraction algorithm. Otherwise, try Iso Cluster Unsupervised Classification (Spatial Analyst) on 4-band DOQ's (Earth Explorer). Once you find the right recipe for classifying buildings in your DOQ, try running the product through a raster filter prior to vectorizing the raster with Raster Domain or Raster to Polygon.
For an open-source solution, Orfeo Toolbox has powerful image segmentation, clustering and feature extraction capabilities.
I don't know there is any way to automate such process by using ArcGIS. But I strongly recommend you to check out one software which name is eCognition developed by Trimble.
eCognition is based one the idea of object oriented classification; it builds up a picture iteratively, recognizing groups of pixels as objects. It uses the color, shape, texture and size of objects as well as their context and relationships to draw the same conclusions and inferences that an experienced analyst would draw.
I had tried this software before and I think it extracted roofs and other kind of features (parking lot, street, rivers) very well.
If you're not averse to buying an extension product, you could take a look at Image Analysis for ArcGIS, which may help with this.
Also check out this GEM User guide: Geospatial tools for building footprint and homogeneous zone extraction from imagery.
It provides an in-depth step by step look at how to extract building footprints using both ArcGIS DEsktop and QGIS with plugins Built-up RECognition tool (BREC) and GRASS.

The Vine - January 2013 - 01-01-2013, 12:48 PM
What's New.
The New Year, that's what. Happy New Year, everyone! = ) You may have noticed that there was no December edition of the Vine last year. Sorry, but I was just too insanely busy over Christmas to get one out; there were other things I had to do which were more important and the Vine issue just got pushed down to the bottom of the list! Anyway, to stop that happening with the January edition, I'm getting it out nice and early on New Year's Day.
Dolls Of The Month.

Horrorscopes by Miranda.
Like a badly mixed cocktail in a Chelsea pub, the stars are producing two distinct flavours for your future. The bad news first; in one weeks time, you will die. The good news; you wont be dead-dead, youll be one of the living-dead, more commonly referred to as zombies. Life (is this the right word?) as a zombie can be quite comfortable nowadays, with high strength moisturisers and rare-cooked steaks essential commodities. Whilst returning home to your parents at Christmas as one of the undead may be awkward to explain at first, they will surely get used to it; they expect their offspring to get up to strange shenanigans at university. Be careful not to drink too much wine at Christmas dinner however, as losing your inhibitions and trying to eat Grandmas brains will not win you any favour amongst the family.
Pluto is waning in such a way that suggests that in the next week you should beware of ghosts and ghouls that plan on bursting from the underworld and dragging you down into the world of the dead. In every strange nook and crevice lies danger; the dark space under your bed, the mysterious corners of your lecture theatres, the common rooms of certain colleges Then again, Pluto has been acting stroppily ever since it was demoted from planet status, so it could just be making it up in a cry for attention. Don't take this the wrong way, but you are so dumb, you could be outwitted by a goldfish. Never mind. Perhaps the New Year has something better in store for you... but I wouldn't hold your breath, if I were you.
Wear the ugly knitted sweater, please. Do it for Grandma and also for your karma bank, which is woefully low at the moment. Don't worry, ugly Christmas sweaters are very "in" this year and all the supermodels are wearing them, so you won't look too stupid despite the fact that you, obviously, are not a supermodel. Being nice around the holidays isnt worth anything if you are a Grinch the rest of the year. Quit acting like such a pain in the neck every once in a while and maybe people will start inviting you to parties instead of sending you knocked down Christmas-themed snow globes from the pound store. You are threatening to become a real bore next month, as you drone on about how much you hate January. Quit it. Everyone hates that month, they don't need you reminding them.
Thick headed bull that you may be, you will do some good in the world this month as you will manage to talk a suicidal jumper out of killing himself. This bodes well both for him, and also for your karma bank. However, don't overdose on either the smugness or the eggnog. Remember what happened last Christmas? With the holiday season upon us all, use this time to clean up the messes that you caused during the year. People will be happy to hear that you have matured and will look to the future rather than dwell on the past. Your strength will come from being close to those you love. Unfortunately for you, most of them are dead, so you might be spending a lot of time in a graveyard. Which sucks, because its cold outside.
Being two-faced comes in handy round Christmas, as you smilingly thank Great Aunt Maude for the bright yellow jumpsuit she bought you, while simultaniously wondering just how much it would fetch on ebay. Stop looking to your magic eight ball for help. It can't tell you anything that I can't tell you. With that out of the way, your magic eight ball is usually right. See what I did there? Yeah, Im good. Someone you know is going to seriously disappoint you. Dont be nasty to them, just accept the fact that they might not be as awesome as you thought they might be. Both of you will be better off for it. I am sorry that you put all your hope into the world ending on the 21st, but let that be a lesson to you. In future, try not to read too much into trivialities such as the ending of calendars.
When you get sun and rain, you get a rainbow. When you get sun and snow, you get a snowbow. If youre lucky, youll be counting the snowbows. But seeing a snowbow wont mean that youll get lucky, and does not mean youll have gotten a good haul this Christmas. Be your own Santa, buy a present for yourself! Try the sale aisle, which will be full of marked down Christmas presents. December is a good drinking month for you; lots of parties, and don't forget New Year's Eve. Don't worry, no-one really knows any of the words to "Auld Lang Syne" at all, they're just pretending they do, just like you are, and are too drunk to really care. Remember I mentioned snow earlier? Yup, snow is on the way which is bad news for anyone around you, cuz crabs really don't like the cold AT ALL and aren't shy about showing it.
Horrorscopes contd. - 01-01-2013, 12:51 PM
Try and get your Christmas tree put away in a timely fashion this year. Last year, if I recall, you only got round to putting it away in late August, you slob. Your family is going to drive you nuts this month. What else is new? Just shut the hell up and quit complaining about it. Everyone is in the same boat this year. You are in grave danger. Avoid the colour white at all costs. If you dont it will only kill you faster. If it snows where you are, just walk around blindfolded the whole time. The elves are out to get you, and I don't mean the ones who appear on fantasy movies looking superior and making you want to pelt them with snowballs. I mean Santa's slaves, who have fixated you as the symbol of vast consumerism which means they have to work their fingers to the bone making toys. Keep an eye out for patches of bright red and green following you, and keep a stick handy.
You need to assert yourself more than you already do. People notice the bold. Being front and center will draw others to you, and they will be able to help you down the line. Dont be scared of success. Acting like a doormat will only encourage people to walk all over you. And wipe their feet. And leave milk bottles on you. Am I taking this metaphor too far? Anyway, back to the horrorscope. My advice to you is to buy a new cookbook, cuz otherwise you will be driven mad from eating turkey leftovers for every meal. Besides, a cookbook is a good investment for when you desperately need to impress someone. Thinking of making soft toys for extra cash? Do it. It's a much better get rich quick scheme than your last one. You know what I'm talking about, missus.
With the holidays here, its time to remember what love really means. It means youre willing to give your life, or spare it, for another. It means youll always be willing to lend a hand, a shoulder or knuckle sandwich when needed. Hopefully, this information will come in handy for Libras, since they sometimes think love only means not saying things like, You are a total moron! Here's some handy advice for next month; when you hit the mall for the January sales, try not to draw blood in your mad quest for bargains, as blood is murder to get out of soft cloth. Try using a blunt instrument wrapped in plaster instead. After all, it worked for Lord Lucan. As always, you will spend far too much and spend the next few months living off baked beans and chips.
The stars suggest that the universe is plotting against you dear Scorpio, whats it like knowing everyone hates you? It is time to face the music. That thing you have been putting off will catch up with you. Keep this in mind and 2013 will be your year. The world can be a horrible place. Despite your best efforts, your plans will only come
to fruition if others can get their butts in gear and back you up. If they dont, then all your efforts will go to waste and you may as well spend the rest of your life in bed
ignoring them. Get over it. Youre not in a position to bargain any further. Did I mention that the universe really doesn't like you? Must be that past life you had where you spent your time annoying people til they were forced to assassinate you.
You will lose something very important, but you wont remember that youve even lost it until you desperately need it. It may be your birth certificate, it may be your car keys, but most likely, it will be your mind. On the bright side, that new outfit you bought is very "you". Interpret that however you like. You are kind, you are compassionate and always willing to take a diversion to help someone else. These are all qualities to be proud of. If you feel bad about drawing the line with someone face to face then wait until theyre asleep and do it then instead with a biro over both cheeks. This Christmas when youre drinking and eating to excess please spare a thought for the real victim of the season: the turkey. Every year, their family and friends are killed so that we can eat them. Poor sods!
Your insistence on having your father walk you down the aisle is sweet and understandable. Youve always been one to follow tradition, but beware that it may seem odd to some, especially considering the two of you are only going to the supermarket. With a bit of cunning and guile you can save a fortune on expensive washing machines and laundry bills. Just give all your dirty shirts to your local Oxfam shop. They will wash and iron them and then you can buy them all back for fifty pence each. After seeing the latest Twilight movie you will realize what a waste of time those books and movies have been. You will finally take the Taylor Lautner poster down from above your bed and burn all your books and Twilight merchandise. Welcome to the sanity club.
My HORROR-scope actually scares me haha! (aquarius)... i just finished watching American Horror Story season 1 so I'm a bit on edge too funny!
congrats Tink & Rachel on your dolls!
Omg thanks for best dollmaker this month!! Made my day!
The end of my horoscope is funny poor turkeys. Good thing I don't eat much turkey. Mainly mashed potatoes with gravy

I think I need to fix my profile; my birthday is tomorrow xD
I still have my Twilight books...haven't looked at them in years though. I just can't bring myself to burn books no matter how horrendous they are xD
Just posted a calendar thread; I get the birthdays from the site calendar, but it only goes up to 2009. Post your birthday on the new thread so I can add your name to the birthday greetings. XD

CADIZ - Harrison?County Commissioners unanimously approved an oil and gas lease with Chesapeake Energy Wednesday for 83.66 acres in the industrial park.
Agreement 42-13 will pay $5,000 per acre for a total of $418,300 and a royalty of 20 percent on gas produced from any wells on the property.
"We are figuring out this is going to be a slow process," said board chair Don Bethel. "We will continue to research county property for additional opportunities to find out if there are any more leases available to the county."
The Harrison County Health Department asked the board of commissioners to consider purchasing a standby generator that goes on automatically. Andy Atkins explained that the vaccinations on hand for child immunizations would cost $60,000 to replace. "The drugs are monitored by the state for a constant temperature, and if they drop a few degrees, the medicine has to be thrown out," Atkins explained.
The current generator must be manually started, and Atkins fears that as during past outages, the lag time to get someone to the facility to start the generator would allow the temperature to drop in the refrigerator and the contents would be lost.
"The last time we were lucky and lost just over $8,000 of drugs," Atkins said, saying the state gave them a waiver on that occasion but the county would not expect to receive another.
The cost for the automatic generator with installation would be $5,733.32. The board told Atkins they would discuss and review the bid and give him an answer next week.
The board appropriated $10,000 into the Health District to facilitate the hiring of a part-time health inspector in March, and Atkins updated them on the vacant position, saying that they were currently advertising for applications.
Doug Crabtree had just one road use and maintenance agreement from the County Engineer's office, agreement 43-13 with Ohio gathering LLC for roads in Cadiz and Nottingham townships. The board approved the agreement covering 3.3 miles of CR 1, 2.7 miles of CR 2 and 0.3 miles of CR 16.
Crabtree, Secretary of the Freeport Farmers Sportsman Club, also announced that the annual Youth Fishing Derby will be held this Saturday, May 18 from 10 a.m. to 2 p.m. at Twin Hills Park. Boys and girls ages three to 12 years are invited. Crabtree stated that more than 200 children have registered for the popular event.
Access Ohio Valley attended to inquire about a pending contract to sue county towers for broadband access. Commissioner Bethel relayed that the county prosecutors office was reviewing the contract but the process takes time. "We are not against competition in the area for broadband service," Bethel said. "We are currently waiting on the prosecutor to review the documents."
The board also approved the commissioner's office public records policy which outlines procedures for requests for access to a public record.

A friend insists that the "chocolate" is the German part of German chocolate cake, the evidence being that there are no palm trees in Germany (for the coconut frosting). Is this correct?
A Baker's (now owned by kraft foods) employee named Sam German developed a chocolate recipe that was sweeter than semi-sweet chocolate, as well as containing a blend of chocolate liquor, sugar, cocoa butter, flavorings, and lecithin. Baker's honored Sam by naming the chocolate that he created Baker's German's Chocolate.
In 1957 the recipe was published in a Dallas newspaper, although nobody is sure exactly when the recipe was originally created. Generally Foods - who had bought the brand - noticed that alot of people liked the recipe and started a PR campaign for German's Chocolate using the recipe. They started sending it to newspapers all over - and people liked it. At some point the "'s" got dropped from the name, introducing all of the confusion we have about the origin of the cake today.
The argument is bogus.
I am not a native speaker of English, but in the configuration adjective - adjective/noun - noun, I'd say that it is more natural for the first two words to define the third. So it wasn't even Mr German's chocolate, it was his cake.
I believe the "German" refers to the last name of the inventor of a type of sweetened chocolate. This chocolate developed by Baker's was first used in the original recipe of "German's Chocolate Cake".
If I remember correctly, according to The Joy of Cooking, it was an insurance salesman named German who popularized the addition of coconut to chocolate cake.
So, German's recipe for chocolate cake, ergo German's chocolate cake aka German chocolate cake.

The sun is made of fire but fire needs oxygen right? So..
Why can there be flames in space, while there's no oxygen?
Same idea as with the rocket engines of the spaceship, which also produce fire while there's no oxygen?
The Sun isn't "made of fire". It's made mostly of hydrogen and helium. Its heat and light come from nuclear fusion, a very different process that doesn't require oxygen. Ordinary fire is a chemical reaction; fusion merges hydrogen nuclei into helium, and produces much more energy. (Other nuclear reactions are possible.)
As for rockets, they carry both fuel and oxygen (or another oxidizer) with them (at least chemical rockets do; there are other kinds). That's the difference between a rocket engine and a jet engine; jets carry fuel, but get oxygen from the air.

Environmental Engineers apply engineering and science principles to solve or prevent environmental problems. Practicing environmental engineers often work on mitigating various forms of pollution.
Environmental Engineers are engaged in development, design, construction, and operation of systems that recover valuable resources such as energy and nutrients from what was previously considered waste materials. Environmental engineers are also engaged in comprehensive evaluation of the long-term sustainability of engineering projects by using a process known as Life Cycle Assessment (LCA). LCA enables engineers to evaluate the entire impact of a project including raw materials, natural resources, energy use, pollution production, re-use, and recycling. Environmental engineers also focus on optimizing processes to minimize energy use.
Environmental Engineers find opportunities in the private sector with engineering consulting companies and with major corporations. Graduates also are well prepared to work with local, regional, state, and federal government agencies as well as non-governmental organizations such as the Peace Corps. Environmental engineers design, construct, and operate systems that produce safe drinking water, remove pollutants from wastewater and groundwater, and remediate contaminated soil, water, and air at hazardous waste sites.
The US Bureau of Labor Statistics projects that employment of Environmental Engineers will grow 22 percent, which is faster than average for all occupations.
The Environmental Engineering degree program was approved by the Board of Trustees in October 2012, and we will welcome our inaugural class in the fall semester of 2013. However, the Department of Civil & Environmental Engineering has offered courses in environmental engineering for many years as part of the Civil Engineering degree program.
Bucknell's Environmental Engineering program provides a thorough technical education augmented with integrated, hands-on laboratory experiences, and a focus on social, environmental, and economic sustainability. The program is designed to enable graduates to understand the implications of engineering on environmental, economic, and social systems, and to influence public policy from an engineering perspective. The program also provides ample opportunity to explore other academic interests or to obtain greater depth in the environmental field.

How do marks interact with dual attacks?
Defenders usually have a power with a trigger like:
Trigger: An enemy marked by you makes an attack that does not include you as a target
Solo monsters and others often have powers that allow them to use an attack power repeatedly.
Double Attack
Effect: The sovereign panther uses claw twice.
So what happens if the first claw attack does not target the defender but the second claw does target the defender. Can the defender respond with his trigger?
If a meta-multiple attack power only includes the defender in one of the attacks, does it allow the defender to use their trigger power?

In addition to her moral support, we received a meticulous training for our Board of Directors and staff, preparing us to better manage these attacks. Also, the program consultant was able to field all media inquiries - and serve as a positive voice for our community - during our events, so that we could focus on our production duties.

Dark energy will tear everything apart, even black holes. Is a new universe created when dark energy rips open the singularity of a black hole ? And does the topology of the universe depend on the type of singularity ?
There's no reason to think that it would. All black holes will eventually Hawking-radiate away. There's no evidence that the repulsion of dark energy is actually increasing (as Peter Shor notes), so the ultimate fate of the universe will most likely be a heat death, which will happen long after all black holes have radiated away.

It takes me about 5 tries to resize a window on my computer.
Is there a way to increase the resize margin on the edge of windows?
It takes me about 5 tries to resize a window on my computer.
Is there a way to increase the resize margin on the edge of windows?
As others have mentioned, it depends on the theme. Try a few out. What I frequently do instead is hold down Alt and middle-click and drag to resize, which works anywhere on the window.
To modify Ambiance to have a wider margin, open
You may want to back up the original file before modifying, and/or make a duplicate of the entire theme.
Note that you can also resize windows by pressing Alt + Button2.
There is also a default keyboard short-cut in gnome -- Alt-F8 -- that is a 'resize window' function.
The GNOME desktop environment is designed to give priority to usability and simplicity over customizability. Hence, the width of the window border is something that is not easily changeable. In all practical considerations, Jacob's recommendation that you use Alt+middle-click instead of dragging the window borders is likely to be the best solution for most users.
With that said, the size of the window border does vary between Metacity themes. As a first step, you might try picking a different theme from GNOME-Look.org.
If you're really determined to adjust just the window border without changing the rest of the theme, it is possible to modify existing themes. Here's a reference to get you started.
The thickness of the window border is set by the theme you are using.
It looks like this will be fixed in Natty.
(This is from my answer to a duplicate question that was closed. )
It depends on the theme used. You could change your theme, or edit the theme if you really wanted to, but an easier and more consistent way is to hold down Alt and drag with the middle mouse button. You can imagine it as slicing the window into a 3x3 grid, and clicking in any rectangle but the center one will allow you to drag the appropriate side or corner.
Note that Alt + MiddleButton is the default configuration. To change it (at least in Compiz):
The last two settings are called Initiate Window Resize. One of them is the middle click option described above; the other is a similar keyboard binding that allows you to resize with the keyboard arrow keys (as well as the mouse without clicking).
Alt+MiddleButton is the right way to resize windows; it's right are your hands, and you don't have to move the pointer to the window edges first.
However, I still find that the scroll overlay often gets in my hair. So I went for a different approach and disabled the overlays all together! Scroll still works, of course, and the nice orange scroll indicator is still present. On Ubuntu 13.04, I did it like this:
You can revert it by doing:
OK, to maximize the window the keyboard shortcut is ctrl+super+ up(on the keyboard) to minimize it is ctrl+super+down. To resize it is alt+ F8
Right click on the title bar and select Resize from the popup menu.

I have an MPVolumeView on one of my views, which comes up with an Airplay icon when there are other output sources available. That's all fine, but the icon is tiny, no matter how big I set the frame for MPVolumeView it doesn't get any bigger.
Anyone know how to increase the size of the airplay icon?


text: As for another lesson on the female face, here is a tutorial that will be on something festive for some nationalities. Up next, you will learn "how to draw Day of the Dead girl", step by step. I really like this type of art design because the drawings or art for the festive Spanish celebration of Day of the Dead is real vivid and different than anything I have ever seen. The contrast of colors used for designing sugar skulls is out of this world. So if you love drawing stuff related to Day of the Dead, you will love drawing a Day of the Dead girl. Have fun and remember to rate, comment, or fav. Adios mi amigos, and good luck.

I'm job hunting again. When I find a tempting position, one that looks great in every way except it requires some skill "ABC" I'm not familiar with, I get a book or find online tutorials, and study it. A few days later another tempting position comes to my attention, and it requires know-how with "DEF". I'm rusty on it, so I switch to studying that. This continues, and I soon find myself with a long list of "Things to study: ABC, DEF, GHI, ..."
None of these are simple topics taking an hour of reading or a simple how-to, but whole technologies, areas of science, deep abstract techniques which take practice, exploration, making toy projects, involvement on forums, etc. (Simple things that do take only a small effort, fine, I just go ahead and do.) Maybe a full week or two of intense effort could get me to the point of hire-ready competence, more likely a month or two since I still have to job hunt and deal with life.
If I had a talented fortune teller to tell me which job I'll actually be hired for, suppose it turns out to be the DEF-needing job, I could study only DEF and ignore ABC, GHI, and the rest.
How to decide which topics to study with minimal wasted effort? Especially how to know when to stick with something I'm already studying vs. switching when a new interesting position comes to my attention?
Additional: To be clear, I'm not talking about "study" as in college, but activities of skill-building and it's more active, building demos, working with others on pet projects etc than it is book learning or practice quizzes. There is time, money, equipment invested in some cases, so it's important to decide wisely.

I have used successfully the pomodoro technique for some time. I've found just one big problem that has caused a slight but constant loss of motivation in using it, causing in the end the need to stop applying it for some days.
Basically my work is made of three types of activity:
- Small tasks that can be accomplished quickly (time < 1p.)
- Big tasks that need some hours of work
Big tasks (>1 p.) that must be interrupted because they require help from colleagues to be accomplished.
a. Big tasks that need phone calls to be accomplished
I usually don't have problems with 1 (I schedule many small activities in one p.) and 2 (the best type to apply this technique), but when it comes to 3 it's a mess. If the colleague is there and ready I can keep working, otherwise the p. must be interrupted.
Sometimes I need to make a phone call to get what I need to go on, this is worse as I have to wait for the person I need to call to be ready thus interrupting one p. and scheduling another p. to make the call.
Worst case is when the phone call brings no progress in my work, I end up with 1p. interrupted to wait for the call, 1p. interrupted to make it (supposing that the call doesn't last 25 minutes) and the need to wait for work to be done on the other end of the cable.
In the end the questions:
- how can I manage activities like in 3 and 3a avoiding to lose motivation with this technique?
- Do you suggest better techniquest to manage my time?
