1939 Ford Sedan - Time Well SpentWritten by Eric Geisert on December 1, 2011 Contributors: Josh Mishler Eddie Lindsey's '39 Ford sedan
More often than not, when someone gets involved in the hot rod hobby it's because they already know somebody immersed in the culture. That's how Eddie Lindsey, from Weston, Missouri, was drawn in. His dad, Gerald, had a full-time job at TWA when Eddie was a youngster but, on evenings and weekends, Gerald and his brother ran their own salvage yard, so Eddie was surrounded by vintage cars from a very early age.
Eddie has always loved the cars from the '30s-70s and, from the time he was 15 until he was 40, he competed in demolition derbies (claiming the state championship for some of those years, too). A few years back Eddie thought he'd like to own a '39 coupe, but first he'd have to sell his '41 Chevrolet sedan to finance the project. That didn't bother Eddie too much because, even though the car was a reliable street rod, he thought it was ugly!
He found this '39 Ford DeLuxe sedan at an auction in Centralia, Kansas, but it was intended as a parts car as it was so heavily rusted. Some of the parts had been stored in a barn (a good thing) but others were strewn across a field rusting away. But, for $450, Eddie thought he'd got a good deal.
He spent the next six years working with his brother, Jim, and his dad on reconstructing the sedan, which was a chore, as every lower panel section and doorskin needed attention (it was probably some sort of karma coming back into play for all those other cars that were banged up in the demolition derby!).
A rolling chassis from Total Cost Involved Engineering got Eddie a good base to build upon. A '57 Ford 9-inch (3.50:1) went in out back with a set of RideTech airbags and a TCI Engineering Mustang II–type IFS (with another set of 'bags) was installed up front. To fill the fenderwells of the '39, Eddie chose a 20x8.5 and 18x7 Intro wheel combination, wrapping them in Goodyear Eagle rubber (225/40ZR18 and 275/45R20).
The engine Eddie wanted for his ride is something you don't see too often in a hot rod: a '57 Ford 312 Y-block. He didn't have to look far for the block (his dad owns 20 or so '57 Fords!) and Eddie enlisted him to assemble the engine after the block came back from Camble Machine bored 0.030. An F-code cam went in, and an Offenhauser manifold went on, topped by a trio of Barry Grant Demon 98 carbs. Other performance pieces include a muffler system from Butler Muffler, a set of Red's Headers, a Mallory ignition system with Taylor wires, and a Walker radiator. The engine was backed up to a '68 C4 trans, assembled by Smithville Transmission.
The firewall was set back 1-1/2 inches and the rear wheel area was slightly tubbed to accept the bigger wheels. Smoothed running boards, a custom fuel door by Hagan, a V-butt windshield, a filled cowl vent, and shaved handles and decklid trim all followed before Paul Reed (Plattsburg, Missouri) began the body and paint prep work. Reed and Eddie's brother, Jim, painted the car using PPG Beechwood Green paint below the stainless steel trim line and a blue/black paint above.
Details that followed included Eric Campbell lettering the valve covers and adding the winged Mercury logo to the air cleaner, wiring up the '39 teardrop LED taillights from Technostalgia, and bolting up the '39 Ford standard bumpers.
Inside the cavernous interior a '49 Ford dash had been cut up and sectioned together to centralize the gauge hole, which was filled with a five-in-one gauge from Hainline. Controls for the Vintage Air system are located just below the gauge, and the '39 Ford steering column and banjo wheel (restored by the owner) helps retain the car's old-time feel. The stock-appearing '36 Ford window cranks control the electric windows supplied by Carolina Custom.
Bob Gossi, of Gladstone Auto Trim, used Mazda 626 seats to build the interior for Eddie, and covered everything with a khaki-colored vinyl. Dynamat insulation can be found under the short-loop carpet, and a Kenwood-based stereo system was installed by N.W. Audio in Platte City, Missouri.
Though he thinks he might have liked to have installed a five-speed instead of the C4, Eddie is very happy with the outcome (it does look better than when he first brought it home!), and believes the project was time well spent with his dad and brother.

Paul Reed and Jim (Eddie's brother) painted the sedan at Paul's place. Using PPG paints, the pair sprayed Beechwood Green sprayed below and a blue/black up top, which complements the minimal use of chrome and stainless on the car's exterior.Eddie Lindsey has seen a Y-block or two in his life (his dad, Gerald, owns about 20 '57 Fords), so putting one in his '39 was second nature. Gerald assembled the motor after Camble Machine machined the block 0.030. An F-code cam went in and an Offenhauser three-Deuce manifold was bolted up along with a trio of Barry Grant Demon 98 carbs. The Lincoln valve covers were painted and lettered by Eric Campbell, who also added the winged Mercury logo to the air cleaner.

I need to copy some data that includes 900,000 tiny files totaling around 30 gigabytes to a windows computer. However, it needs to be able to be copied and set up in under an hour and a half, and it can take 5+ hours to copy off a USB hard drive mostly due to the crazy amount of files. Is there a better/faster way to deal with this, such as doing some sort of block copying? Thanks
With large number of files, it is best to create tar archive so that you have less files to deal with. If you are using USB 2.0 external hard drive you should look at using USB 3.0, eSATA, or use a fast local network.
What is your source OS? If both of your operating systems were Linux, you could pipe the files through tar, gzip, and ssh to the target machine. You could install cygwin on Windows to get this type of functionality for Windows as well.
You could try taking an image of the entire folder/drive
On Linux systems you can use
To extract the image onto Windows you may need to install cygwin or a program that is able to process
If the hard drive can be removed from the USB interface and onto SATA/ATA I would install it in the destination computer. You'll get much faster transfer speeds, as others have noted. For copying, assuming your on windows I would do a simple ROBOCOPY. It's about as fast as you can really hope for, though there are other alternatives.
I'd try to avoid compressing all these files though, there is a good chance the time to compress and move would exceed simply moving the files.
*Added the /MT option for robocopy. It can greatly speed up transfers when your in a multi-thread environment.
Install the disk where the source files reside in the computer you're setting up and transfer disk to disk. Forget USB. Even transferring over the wire (network the machines together) would be faster than USB (Assuming usb 2.0 and 1Gbps NIC). If this is a recurring event, look into replication instead.
This will increase speed of transfer over the network. So most probably not useful in your case.
After some more reading I realized that, We should not use the '-z' flag when copying data from one local hard drive to another, it increases overhead. Thank to comment from @FakeName.
You are fast approaching the limitations of your hard drive. In fact, with current commodity drives, it is impossible to meed your transfer time with a per-file copy operation.
Assuming each file requires 1 HD seek and seek time is 7 ms (which is a bit idealized, realistically, each file will require two seeks, unless the volume bitmap is cached in ram), at best you will manage ~142 files/sec (\$\frac{1000}{7} = 142.8...\$).
With the OP specs (30 GB, 900,000 files) that is ~33K per file (\$\frac{30,000,000k}{900,000} = ~33.3...\$. 33KB * 142 = 4.68 MBps.
The minimum time to transfer 30 GB at 5 MBps, is ~1 hour, 40 minutes (\$\frac{30,000}{5}= = 6,000\$ seconds. \$ \frac{6,000}{60} = 100\$ minutes, or 1:40 hours)
Therefore, it is impossible to achieve a speed better then ~5 MBPS, and that is with an ideal drive (and fewer seek operations. This is for one seek per file. Realistically, it would be two). You are limited entirely by disk performance.
The only way to get performance better then this is to copy the entire file-system & partition sequentially.
What are you trying to do?
Try 7zip to archive the files into one file only. If possible, use WLAN with a adhoc connection to a notebook.
Related to @arcyqwery 's answer, you might be able to compress it, and simultaneously turn it into one large file. This will speed up the process some.
It might also be worth it to use a program like TeraCopy, as it usually is faster than the default windows copy performance. You should test with similar circumstances in your case to check though.

Is this a big deal? The Xbox One Media Remote has officially been announcedWritten by: / / 8 Comments
It's been rumoured for weeks, but Microsoft has just taken the wraps off of the official Xbox One Media Remote, a remote control for the company's latest home console that lets you control your TV and entertainment centre with "a familiar remote," as opposed to the console's controller and Kinect.
The Xbox One Media Remote will become available in early March across "Xbox One markets worldwide," and for a price of $24.99 ERP in the US, and will let you take direct control of movie playback (of the Blu-ray and streaming variety), with additional 'Back' and 'OneGuide' buttons included on the device to emulate the functionality of an Xbox One controller:
"The OneGuide button provides one-touch, quick access to your favorite TV shows and movies through the Xbox program guide. This simple, yet powerful remote is designed to help you listen, watch and switch among experiences instantly."
Microsoft says that not only is the remote designed with a soft silicone finish "that fits comfortably in the palm of your hand," it's also motion activated so when you pick it up the backlit buttons will illuminate "allowing it to be used in the darkest of rooms while playing games, watching TV shows, movies and more." Handy.
Here's a quick Vine video from Xbox frontman Major Nelson to show you how big the remote is:
The question is: Is this a big deal? Do you use a dedicated media remote for your Xbox 360, PlayStation 3 or other consoles, or does a regular controller suffice?

Any idea how big the cookie is?
Sorry I do not know the size of the cookies. I am assuming they are normal sized? I placed 2 orders so hopefully won't disappoint..
I did some digging for you guys. Cheryl's Cookies run about 1.6 oz per cookie. Just by looking at the photos, I'd guess each average cookie is about 2 inches across.

Best Time for Homework
Q: I have an eight-year-old daughter and a ten-year-old son. When is it a good time to have them to do their homework? I feel when they come home from school at 2:45 that I am asking too much of them to do it after they have been in school all day. What would work best?
A: Different children work better at different times. Just as with adults, some children work better early in the day and some later; some work better with music playing and some need quiet. You know your children better than anyone else and know what schedule works best for them.
As a general rule, most children need a break when they first get home from school. Fifteen to 20 minutes for a snack and a talk about their day can help them to unwind from the hectic pace of school, and then they'll feel rested and ready for homework. The break can be extended if they need a little more down time, but if you wait too long to get started, homework can move into dinner and bath time. For most children, the ideal is to have a break when they get home, do homework, then have some time to relax before and after dinner.
As the new school year starts, you can try different schedules for a week at a time until you find one that meets the needs of your children.

This article appears in the Fall 2011 CLINIC NEWS.
The Con Lit Clinic filed an appeal in July in its lawsuit challenging paperless computerized voting machines. The case was the first of its kind in the nation, and has been replicated in four other states. The clinic has argued, with the help of the world's top computer security experts, that computerized voting machines easily can be hacked. Experts were able to hack New Jersey's voting machines in under seven minutes, where they installed an undetectable computer program that could steal votes for perpetuity.
The Clinic also was instrumental in getting legislation passed in New Jersey that requires all voting machines to be auditable, and to produce a voter verified paper ballot. Unfortunately, the state has ignored the legislation.
After two trials, the Superior Court of New Jersey issued a ruling that acknowledged that computerized voting systems are vulnerable. The court did not however, issue the relief requested by the plaintiffs—specifically, the decommissioning of all vulnerable voting machines. The court ordered the state to take remedial measures to safeguard the voting machines, and retained jurisdiction over the case to ensure that the state took appropriate safety precautions. The state has missed multiple deadlines. The court signed a final order and judgment on June 6, 2011, two years after the end of the last trial. The Clinic appealed in July.
Clinical Professor Penny Venetis, who developed the case and has been handling it for six years, is hopeful the clinic will succeed on appeal and that safer voting machines will be in place by the 2012 election. "This case has been considered by the Appellate Division twice already. Each time, we have been victorious," Venetis said. "The right to vote is the most fundamental of all our civil liberties. We hope that the Appellate Division will acknowledge that the only appropriate remedy in this case is to replace the vulnerable voting machines with ones that can be checked and double checked to make sure they are not stealing votes."

A Fort Leavenworth assumption of responsibility ceremony for National Guard Brig. Gen. Victor J. Braden brought together people from his military and civilian roles.
Thursday's ceremony was attended by military officials from Fort Leavenworth, where Braden now spends part of his time as the Combined Arms Center's deputy commanding general for the Army National Guard.
The ceremony also was attended by people connected to the job Braden holds in the civilian world including his boss, Kansas Attorney General Derek Schmidt.
Braden serves as deputy attorney general of Kansas. He is in charge of the attorney general's criminal litigation division, which prosecutes cases involving crimes such as homicides and public corruption.
Among the other people in attendance Thursday was Lawton Nuss, chief justice of the Kansas Supreme Court.
Before the ceremony, Braden said he's enjoying his new position at Fort Leavenworth.
"The Combined Arms Center is a unique organization," he said.
Braden is only the second person to serve as the deputy commanding general for the Army National Guard. The position was created for the Combined Arms Center in 2009.
"This is only the second ceremony of it's kind," said Maj. Gen. Gordon B. Davis Jr.
Davis is CAC's deputy commanding general for leader development and education.
When given the opportunity to speak during the ceremony, Braden offered thoughts about leadership development. He'd prepared slides to accompany his remarks.
Before taking on his current duties with CAC, Braden served as assistant division commander for the 35 Infantry Division, which has its headquarters at Fort Leavenworth.
The first person who served as CAC's deputy commanding general for the Army National Guard is Maj. Gen. Scott Thoele. He now serves as the deputy commanding general for the Army National Guard for the Army Forces Command at Fort Bragg, N.C.

The Di Majo Norante winery is located to the north of the Gargano in Molise on the estate of the Marquis Norante of Santa Cristina. This estate has been dedicated to the cultivation of vines since the 1800s. In the 1960s a modern cantina was constructed and vines were replanted in the Ramitello zone. Optimal exposure, constant breezes during the summer, excellent soil composition and a slope toward the Sciabolone and Madonna Grande valleys, blend together to create a particularly favorable environment for the production of wine.
Alessio Di Majo strives to produce the best quality possible at a price that is extremely affordable to the consumer. To insure consistenly high quality, he has hired renowned enologist, Riccardo Cotarella as a consultant.
In another example of his dedication to quality wine and environmentally sound agriculture, Alessio di Majo makes his wines from organically grown grapes. The winery received certification from AIAB (Associazione Italiana per Agricoltura Biologica) in 1997.
Aglianico CONTADO has a beautiful dark ruby color, and an intense and sweet nose with ripe cherry aromas. The mouth is fresh, well-balanced and structured. The tannins are fine and fat, with well-judged hints of wood. Good length, supported by intense primary notes of fruit.
Rich aromas of pineapple and almonds, with hints of honey. Full-bodied, with plenty of pie crust and honey character...
Musky aromas of briary currant and chocolate, with a suggestion of candied berries. Nicely sweet and textured... Shows an intriguing herbal character and decent length.
Very perfumed aromas, with lots of freshly sliced lime. Medium-bodied, with good fruit and a delicious almond and honey aftertaste. Good buy in Italian whites.
A white fruit-scented nose, medium body, excellent freshness, a lively personality, and a fleshy, moderately long finish.
Aromatic nose combines blackberry, smoke and pungent herbs and spices. At once sweet and juicy, with nicely delineated flavors of currant, tar and bitter chocolate. Well-structured, persistent wine with good character.
This may be the finest value in pure Sangiovese in the marketplace...A great buy, it is an embarrassment to 90% of the California Sangioveses that sell for three to five times the price...and are inferior wines. This deep ruby-colored 2000 offers an expressive perfume of sweet black cherries, new saddle leather, and spice. This fleshy, fruit-driven Sangiovese is a total treat to drink.

7 True Stories of Animals Rescuing People from Certain Death
#3. Woman Saved from Raging Cow by Horse
More people are killed by cows than sharks, as we are fond of mentioning. So when we say that someone had to be saved from a cow attack, don't laugh. See how you like having a half-ton of raging bovine tossing you around.
"I may be dumb, but you are very tiny."
Which brings us to Fiona Boyd, a farmer in Scotland, who was doing her farmerly duty and responding to the worried cry of a calf when the mama cow decided that she was having none of Fiona's shit and charged her. The thousand-pound heifer proceeded to ram Fiona several more times and then body-slammed her and her good intentions into the ground. Oh, and then she rolled all over her, for good measure.
Just as Fiona thought she had no hope left, her mare, Kerry, heard her cries from nearby and ran to her aid, probably neighing something cool, like "Your beef is with me" or "I am so not in the moood." Kerry began kicking the cow into submission, a beat-down that will eventually result in some insanely tender steak. Kerry ended up giving Fiona enough time to crawl to safety 20 feet away under an electric fence.
"It's milking time."
Afterward, Fiona was only treated for cuts and bruises, and not the bad case of death she could have received if her savior steed had not intervened. Because cows are nothing but grass-shitting murder machines.
#2. Rabbit Saves Man from Diabetic Coma
Rabbits usually come in one of two flavors: food or Thumper. One is used for a Thanksgiving turk-abbit dinner, and the other is used for entertainment ranging from cereal mascots to magicians' assistants. Neither type of rabbit is really considered courageous in any way at all. Or at least they wouldn't be until a guy named Simon Steggall fell into a potentially lethal diabetic coma on his couch in his home in Cambridgeshire, England.
Carly & Art
"Siiiimmoonnnnn!!! Wake up, man!!!"
Victoria, his wife, was in the vicinity when it happened, but she was under the impression that he had fallen asleep on the couch after a hard day at work. It was Dory, the couple's house rabbit, who sensed something wrong and hopped on top of Simon. She began to thump around emphatically and lick at Simon's mouth like an aggressive rabbit Prince Charming trying to return her owner back to consciousness.
Victoria soon saw Dory's odd behavior and figured out that the rabbit somehow had a more acute sense of her husband's dire medical state than she did. She called the paramedics, and Simon's life was saved. For her efforts, Dory was awarded honorary membership into the Rabbit Welfare Association. And while we would love to say that there is an organization made up entirely of heroic rabbits, membership is an honor that is typically reserved for humans. Which we guess makes it more impressive.
It's the second-highest honor a rabbit can aspire to, under Easter Bunny and just above Trix salesman.
#1. Dolphins Are the Angels of the Ocean
In 2004, four lifeguards were swimming off the coast of New Zealand when a pod of dolphins surrounded them underwater. If they had been Cracked readers who had time traveled to swim in 2004, the lifeguards would have assumed that they were about to be gang-raped by dolphins. The best they could hope for was a quick ending and enough body parts for a decent burial.
Until one of the dolphins jumped out of the water and surfaced in the direction of a 10-foot-long great white shark. As the shark caught sight of the lifeguards, he darted for them, but the dolphins started swimming in a frenzy, blocking his way. The dolphins swam around for close to 40 minutes like this, while the lifeguards got to safety.
"And those stingy Kiwis didn't even tip."
Almost the exact same thing happened a few years later. In 2007, a man named Todd Endris was surfing when a great white bite-tackled him off his board. After taking a few chunks out of Todd, the shark was then warded off by a pod of dolphins that surrounded Todd until he got to shore and was assisted by his friend.
On one hand, these stories could all be lies invented by dishonest dolphin apologists. On the other hand, there are a lot of firsthand accounts depicting dolphins acting like this. Hell, even Dick Van Dyke was apparently once saved by porpoises. Scientists aren't sure why dolphins save people, but they definitely agree that they have the intelligence to do it, whether it be from some altruistic sense for creatures in need or because they just really hate sharks.
Dolphins: The racists of the sea.
When he's not trying to be funny on Cracked, Jeffrey Crawford is writing comedy skits that the whole world will perform one day.

Unlocking the bootloader will wipe your device.
You can however get root access without unlocking the boot loader.
If you then still want to unlock the bootloader, as you already have root access you can follow Sparx's advice and use a back up app before doing so.
What if you backed up all your data using Titanium Backup / MyBackup Pro or some such app, then unlocked the bootloader and finally restored the data?
That would then leave you with (after some effort) an unlocked phone and your data.

The memorial includes a ribbon-shaped walk leading to a wall and a display of flags representing the U.S., Madisonville and Kentucky. A large granite rock inscribed Veterans Memorial is near plaques and flags recognizing every branch of the military — the Army, Navy, Air Force, Marines and Coast Guard.
Officials say the total cost of the project was about $250,000. Several veterans said it was a worthwhile project.

I have 2012 model mac book air. At home i want to have a 22"-24" screen for work purpose. I was wondering if i should just buy a dedicated monitor or a 24" flatscreen tv with HDMI input? My work is generally related to coding with some photo editing of family photos and watching movies. Also, are there any specific points which i need to consider while buying the monitor/tv so that it is compatible with my air.
Generally, monitors have a higher pixel density because they are intended to be viewed for closer up. I'd recommend an HDMI, DVI or Display Port monitor because of the generally higher sharpness and contrast and more accurate colours over TVs.
Any device that takes HDMI as an input should work.
If you go for the TV option, it will also include speakers so if your Thunderbolt to HDMI converter sends out audio as well, it should go through to the speakers.
The best option is to go to a store and have a look at the different models. No all makes and models (both TV and screen) display colours equally well. Take some samples of what you would be working with and get them to display it on the screen to see what you prefer.
Also look at choosing LED over LCD as they use less power and tend to be better quality screens but can cost more.
For actual coding work you will need to be able to read what is on the monitor. Anything less than full HD is waste of money for this purpose.
Then the question is about how close you will be to the monitor. A 24" might actually be too big if you want it in about 40-60 cm's distance because you will need to move your head too much if you need to see it all.
That said, any modern HDMI unit should be usable. Buy the adapter and go down in the store and see what it looks like. REMEMBER to disable any image enhancements designed to improve on a low quality tv-signal.

Dakota Wesleyan University's theatre department will present its first production in its newly created Equitem Theatre-in-the-Round.
DWU's "Five Women Wearing the Same Dress," will be performed at 7:30 p.m., Thursday through Saturday, Nov. 7-9, in the Equitem in Hughes Hall on campus. Tickets are $5 and seated is limited. Reserve a seat by contacting DWU theatre director Dan Miller at firstname.lastname@example.com.
The comedy is by Alan Ball and directed by DWU junior Brittney Kaufman, of Mitchell. The cast includes: Kira Stammer, Sioux Falls, as Frances; Madi Miller, Mitchell, as Meredith; Megan Reimnitz, Corsica, as Trisha; Elizabeth Moore, Sioux Falls, as Georgeanne; Mercedes Madding, Casper, Wyo., as Mindy; and Kyle Gilles, Monticello, Minn., as Tripp Davenport.
The story is about five bridesmaids who hide out in the same bedroom in order to avoid the reception. They all have their reasons to duck out – good, bad, and entertaining – but by the end, they come to see they have more in common than they thought.
"The audience can definitely expect all sorts of different emotions from depression to pure anger," Kaufman said.
There is also some explicit language throughout the show so it is not recommended for young children.
DWU has done theatre-in-the-round before in the Sherman Center. This will be the first production within the new Equitem Theatre-in-the-Round, which Miller created over the summer. Miller combined his office and the former scene shop on the west side of Patten-Wing Theatre into one room and renovated it into the theatre-in-the-round, then created a new scene shop from a classroom on the east side of the stage.
"With the theatre-in-the-round, our students get to have the experience of acting and directing and designing for this very different kind of venue," Miller said. "It's another reason why Bachelor of Fine Arts students appreciate DWU theatre and what we can offer them."
DWU is a private, liberal arts university associated with the Dakotas Conference of the United Methodist Church. For more information about Dakota Wesleyan University and theatre program, go to www.dwu.edu.

Police arrested William Hilton Paul last night at Charlotte Douglas International in Charlotte on a few different charges.
Media outlets in Charlotte reported that police said he identified himself as Senator Rand Paul's son.
A police report shows William Paul was arrested on three different charges. These include disorderly conduct, intoxicated and disruptive, and consumption of beer/wine underage.
Paul was housed with the Mecklenburg County Sheriff, but was released on bond.
Paul's office released this statement to some media outlets "Sen. Paul is a national public figure and subject to scrutiny in the public arena; however, as many parents with teenagers would understand, his family should be afforded the privacy and respect they deserve in a situation such as this."

What kind of shirt.woot quilt should I make? Themed or just random?
I'm planning on making a quilt out of shirt.woot shirts starting in November, but I don't know if I should just use random shirts, or a theme like cats or gaming. I clearly love cats, so I'm leaning towards a cat themed quilt. Best to start planning now as I'm going to have to get some duplicates of the shirts I have to put into the quilt. And, of course shirts I don't already have, lol!
Which makes me think to ask, anyone have misprinted or otherwise outgrown or ruined shirt.woot shirts they'd be willing to send me for free, or cheap so I can make said quilt? I'm sure as long as the design isn't bleached or peeling, I could find a way to make it work.
17 Answers answer
Of course I vote for the cat quilt. Please post a picture of it when you get done! :)
I would lean more towards having some sort of theme; for the amount of work you'll be putting into it, you'll want a result that'll be spectacular on its own. If that's not feasible, then at least target the majority of the shirts going into it to be themed. No doubt, random is much easier, but odds are you'll end up with a quilt made up of many less-liked designs instead.
That all said, how close are you to thrift shops? Hit them at least once a week, and eventually you will find some. Do expect to leave empty handed more often than with shirts; they're still not that commonly found.
Sounds like a fun project!
Is it for your own enjoyment or are you doing it for a fund-raiser or something?
I could probably get some randoms to you that I don`t want. I never seem to get around to trying to trade them and it would be cool to see them put to use somehow.
@narfcake: i live in a town with 17 thrift stores, and have found one woot shirt in the last 10 years. also i took a trip to see my sister end of last month, i went to six large cities with many, many thrift stores in them (that's what i did while she went to work) and i went thru every shirt rack they had. i found not a single woot shirt available.
Cat theme! Then off to eBay to milk us all for some cash :)
Well, the first quilt would be for myself. If I like how they turn out, there is a cat rescue that I send stuff to on occasion. She would be able to sell them to benefit her rescues.
I do have 2 thrift stores locally, so I will check them out. If no luck there, I'll be watching the trade forum and teetrade.org I guess, just to see what I can find.
I fully plan on posting pics when it is done, but it may be towards the end of November as this is my first time trying to make a quilt, and I'm not sure how crazy it's going to make me, lol! (I can be pretty crazy planning a layout and stuff even with scrapbooking, I can't imagine a quilt, lol).
I also vote for a cat theme :) Do you have your pattern/method picked out? My aunt, who is constantly quilting, recently finished a tshirt quilt. I'm not sure what pattern she used but I can find out if you would like. Also, I think I may have a shirt for you, I will check when I get home tomorrow.
@mkdr: No specific method or pattern picked out yet. I've been looking into different ones, and will probably pick out the one I'm doing when I actually pick the theme. Leaning towards a cat theme though, just love cats too much not to!
If you can let me know the pattern she used, it would be great, I'll put it in my design ideas folder on the computer :)
@moosezilla: My find rate isn't that low, but more often than not, a trip will yield zero. With enough visits, they will show up; it's how I ended up with this really horrible beta.shirt.woot.
@baybei: If this is the first time, I'd practice on some scrap knit material before cutting up irreplaceable Woot shirts. If your local thrift shop has "rag bags", pick one up, cut them up, and practice first.
(Nowhere near as involved, but I'll be doing that before I cut down/resize my older oversized shirts. I don't have a serger here; just a sewing machine.)
I also intend to make a shirt.woot quilt to display as a wall hanging. I want to use the designs that represent shirt.woot and my time there: Nevermore, Binge, Artichokey, Just a Little Paint, Unstealthiest Ninja, Some Motivation Required, the blurry question mark shirt, a ! woot shirt, and Bandolier of Carrots. I've thought about including Imposter; a friend has a copy of World Nom-ination from a BoC - he wants to hold a bonfire, but I'm tempted to include it. I want to look at this wall hanging and have it narrate a story: Some Motivation Required is how I found shirt.woot; Just a Little Paint is probably my most worn shirt; Artichokey got me through a difficult time in my life; even Imposter and World Nom-ination are a part of the shirt.woot story. If I can figure out how, I'd like to include a square with numbers and "DSR" and "Wreckoning" and "Derbey" as well - because that's my story of shirt.woot.
As for the second part of your question, about getting duplicates of the shirts that you'd like to use: I posted a request on shirt.woot in May and someone sold me Binge on AA. @narfcake posted that he'd bought six copies of Unstealthiest Ninja because he'd "saved" it several times, so I PM'd him, thinking that he'd be thrilled to sell a copy. Yeah, not so much... Out of that exchange, I ended up with a narfcake, but still no Unstealthiest Ninja. :) And that's the current status of my shirt.quilt-acquisition effort!
Random, because that's what shirt.woot is.
Personally, I'm a fan of kitties. I would make a kitty-themed one first, for yourself. You can always do a random or other themed one later.
Be sure to post pictures!
I just might have an extra one of these sitting around...
If its something you may use ill take the time to look.
@darkinc: Oh great! I sure could use that!
It looks like I'm going with a themed shirt.woot quilt. And, of course, kitties, lol!~
I'm going to start picking up shirts where I can. I'll keep my eyes open at thrift stores, and check teetrade and here for various shirts I can use, aside from the couple I already have. I'll also start testing quilting with random shirt fabrics first (non-printed cheap shirts, lol!), because someone suggested that. It sounds like a smart idea, and sadly, I hadn't thought of it, so I'm glad someone did :)
I only have a regular sewing machine, though there is a way to adjust it for things like quilting I believe. I can't wait, this is going to be fun!~
I can't wait for the pictures! :)

We're always excited to bring you news, fashion opinions and behind-the-scenes photos from our photo shoots. So stay tuned as Vatana Watters and the Watters design team give you the inside view.
I love bridal dresses that move with you. Our Carina corset and Ahsan skirt was the perfect dress to show how light and airy the fabric is. And our model, Mila, swung it beautifully, I must say. Brides are also loving the option of colored bridal dresses. Blush and rosegold will be two bridal favorites this season.
~Vatana Watters
Our gorgeous wedding bouquets and floral designs were created by the always inventive Oscar Mora.
One of my favorite parts of preparing for a shoot is pulling together all the bridal accessories. Picking shoes gets a little dangerous though, because I can't resist coveting... so please have 10 bridesmaids in your bridal party to bump sales and maybe that will trickle down to my personal shoe budget.
~ Xay Vongphachanh
Selecting "the" image is both exciting and pressure packed. You just want it to be the best...and there are often a lot of great images to choose from. Here, making the pick with Art Director Peggy Bennett.
~ Vatana Watters
For spring we launched a new line of junior bridesmaids dresses. I think brides appreciate that we're kind of a one-stop shop, where they can find dresses for their entire bridal party, including bridesmaids, mother of the wedding, junior bridesmaids and flower girls – and the colors and fabrics all coordinate.
~ Maria Prince
A floral boa seemed like a fun idea to drape over our charming bridesmaids.
~ Xay Vongphachanh
On the first couple days of our shoots we usually experiment with different bridal hair and makeup looks. Mila looked gorgeous pretty much anyway we styled her.

We always look for ways to inspire brides with ideas on how to wear a veil or tiara or even flowers in their hair. Here with hair stylist Marco and model Mila.

I'm running into a fairly common problem in configuring a hadoop cluster (actually, its using Cloudera's pseudo distributed cluster on a single machine), where the number of files that hadoop is opening is exceeding the file system limits. Cloudera recommends adding the following lines to
hdfs hard nofile 16384 # hdfs is my 'hadoop' user equivalent
and, since I'm running kernel 2.6.32, also editing
fs.epoll.max_user_instances = 4096
After making these changes and restarting my server, I am still getting the same error! It still appears that hdfs's open file limits have not been increased beyond the 1024 default:
[bash]$ sudo lsof | awk '{print $3}' | sort | uniq -c | sort -nr
2145 root
1495 hdfs
610 mapred
359 www-data
305 rdm
116 mysql
83 rabbitmq
32 messagebus
30 snmp
25 ntp
23 syslog
16 daemon
As I've done more research its becoming clear that increasing the file size limits is highly system dependent (even within Ubuntu; here, here, and here), so I wanted to see what the Ubuntu method is. Does anyone know how to increase these limits in Ubuntu 10.04?
I definitely prefer solutions that do not increase the limits for all users, but at this point I would be willing to try anything. Thanks for your help!

Crosby freshman hoop player resting after scare
Crosby High freshman Deborah Vaichus was released from Charlotte Hungerford Hospital in Torrington late Tuesday night after sustaining a head injury during the first quarter of the Bulldogs' girls basketball game with Torrington.
Vaichus' face and left eye were bruised and the eye closed shut, Crosby coach Phil Lott said Wednesday.
Vaichus didn't attend classes Wednesday, and Lott was unsure if she would return for the remainder of the week with holiday vacation beginning Friday.
"Deborah is feeling much better today and talking," Lott said. "She went to the eye doctor. Her eye is still closed, and she may have a mild concussion. I've talked with her parents today."
The Crosby-Torrington game was suspended Tuesday night with just over a minute remaining in the first quarter after Vaichus was hit in the head while coming off a pick.
Vaichus made a 3-pointer, but fainted while running back down the court. She regained consciousness after a minute or so, but was still unresponsive for a while after that. Vaichus was transported to Hungerford, where a CAT scan was taken, and was kept at the hospital for further observation.
Torrington was leading 12-9 with 1:06 to play in the first period when the game was suspended. A date for resuming the game has not yet been determined.

What phrase is used in Latin America for a daily status meeting among coworkers or team members in a business setting?
Spanish Language Stack Exchange is a question and answer site for students, teachers, and linguists wanting to discuss the finer points of the Spanish language. Join them; it only takes a minute:

Sign up
Here's how it works:
- Anybody can ask a question
- Anybody can answer
- The best answers are voted up and rise to the top
The best answer seems to be «reunión diaria de seguimiento».
«Seguimiento» translates as "follow-up", "monitoring" or "tracking", while a more literal translation to "status" would be «estado», but I think «seguimiento» is more appropriate than «estado» for this context. Otherwise it is a litteral translation of "daily status meeting."
If context is clear then it can be shortened to «reunión diaria» or «reunión de seguimiento».

Oof. Cable news network HLN, originally a CNN off-shoot, has taken the page from the strategy of networks like TLC or AMC: abandoning the original concept for the station (Headline News, The Learning Channel, and American Movie Classics, respectively) but keeping the original acronym. The new, refurbished HLN is doing away with the endlessly repeated news cycle and the Nancy Grace-like "outrage news" segments, and replacing them with new material targeted to the millennial demographic.
Apparently the people at Turner Broadcasting don't have a very high opinion of your demographic.
Here are the new show titles, ranked in increasing order of absurdity: Continue reading "Headline News' Social Media-Focused Reboot Is Beyond Ridiculous"

Saudi Arabia today began airlifting relief supplies into Quetta, Pakistan to aid victims of the powerful earthquake that struck the province of Baluchistan this past week.
The first shipment of aid included nine tons of food, medical supplies, tents and blankets. The Ministry of Finance has set aside 100 tons of relief supplies including tents, blankets, rugs, and foodstuffs to be airlifted to Pakistan.
The aid was sent on the directives of Custodian of the Two Holy Mosques King Abdullah bin Abdulaziz and is line with Saudi Arabia's ongoing humanitarian assistance to Pakistan.
The Saudi Public Assistance for Pakistan Earthquake Victims (SPAPEV) has also begun sending relief aid to Baluchistan. Regional Director Dr. Khalid Al-Othmani said today that around $280,000 in aid – including 1,000 tents, 1,000 blankets and 1,000 quilts – have been dispatched to Pakistan.

How to evaluate:
$$\int \sqrt{1+\cos^2x} dx$$
Is a simple antiderivative known to exist?
Is a simple antiderivative known to exist?
A simple antiderivative is given by $$\tag{1} \int_0^x\sqrt{1+\cos^2t}\,dt. $$ This is an example of what is called an elliptic integral and it cannot be expressed in terms of other well-known elementary functions (which is what you probably mean by "simple", and doesn't agree with what I would call "simple").
But let me stress my point: the expression in (1) can be used to approximate values of the function, and in that sense it is not necessarily worse than, say $\log x$.
This question is much like the other one.
Using $\cos^2(x) = 1-\sin^2(x)$ $$ \int \sqrt{1+\cos^2(x)} \mathrm{d} x = \int \sqrt{2-\sin^2(x)} \mathrm{d} x = \sqrt{2} \int \sqrt{1-\frac{1}{2} \sin^2(x)} \mathrm{d} x = \sqrt{2} \operatorname{E}\left(x, \frac{1}{2}\right) + C $$ where $\mathrm{E}(x, m)$ denotes the incomplete elliptic integral of the second kind: $$ \operatorname{E}\left(\phi, m\right) = \int_0^\phi \sqrt{1-m \sin^2(\varphi)} \mathrm{d} \varphi $$ In particular, no elementary andi-derivative exists.

JB Green OKs purchases
September 10, 2013
BELLAIRE - The JB Green Team approved the purchase of 12 cameras and two vehicles for the purpose of catching and prosecuting persons illegally dumping in Belmont and Jefferson counties....
I love it!!! Money appropriated to the JB Green Team is money very well spent. Money spent for Township Trustees who should be spotting illegal dumps and reporting them, NOT SO MUCH!

Let's say $G$ is some additive subgroup of $\mathbb{R}$ that has at least two elements.
From what I understand, $G$ is then either dense in $\mathbb{R}$, or has some least positive element. What is the reason for this?
Let's say $G$ is some additive subgroup of $\mathbb{R}$ that has at least two elements.
From what I understand, $G$ is then either dense in $\mathbb{R}$, or has some least positive element. What is the reason for this?
Let $a=\inf\{g\in G; g>0\}$. (Note that this set is non-empty and thus $a\ge 0$, $a<\infty$.)
Suppose that $a\notin G$.
This implies that for each $\varepsilon>0$ there is $g\in G$ such that $a<g<a+\varepsilon$. The same argument gives the existence of $g'$ such that $a<g'<g<a+\varepsilon$. Thus we found $h_\varepsilon=g'-g$ which belongs to $G$ and fulfills $0<h_\varepsilon<\varepsilon$.
Now it is relatively easy to see that $\bigcup\limits_{\varepsilon>0}\{z\cdot h_\varepsilon; z\in\mathbb Z\}$ is dense in $\mathbb R$ and it is subset of $G$.
(If you choose some interval $(a-\varepsilon,a+\varepsilon)$, which has length $2\varepsilon$, then it must contain some element of the form $z\cdot h_\varepsilon$, since the distance between two neighboring elements of this form is less than $\varepsilon$.)
An analogous claim (or at least one of them - there are other possible generalizations) in higher dimensions would be:
In the case $n=1$ we get only one generator.
Proof of this claim can be found e.g. in Stewart, Tall: Algebraic Number Theory and Fermat's Last Theorem 6.1 (in Section 6.1 Lattices) and probably in many other texts dealing with lattices in $\mathbb R^n$.
Let $G$ be an additive subgroup of $\mathbb{R}$. Suppose that there does not exists the least positive element, i.e. $\inf\{|x|:x\in G-\{0\}\}=0$. Then we can prove that $G$ is dense in $\mathbb{R}$ as follows: suppose that $y\in\mathbb{R}$, for any $\epsilon>0$, there exist $x\in G$ such that $|x|<\epsilon$. We can assume that $x>0$, otherwise, we can take $-x$ which belongs to $G$ since $G$ is an additive group. Then there exists an integer $n$ such that $$nx\leq y<(n+1)x,$$ which implies that $$|y-nx|<x<\epsilon,$$ where $nx\in G$ since $G$ is an additive group. This shows that $G$ is dense in $\mathbb{R}$.
I once used this fact to solve a problem in the American Mathematical Monthly. Here's the proof I gave, which is rather similar to Paul's.
We first show that if $G$ has a limit point, then it is dense. Fix $\epsilon > 0$ and let $y$ be a limit point of $G$. Choose $x_1, x_2 \in G$ with $0 < |{x_1-y}| < \epsilon/2$, and $|{x_2 - y}| < |{x_1 - y}|$. Then $x := x_1 - x_2 \in G$ with $0 < |{x}| < \epsilon$. $G$ now contains all integer multiples of $x$, so every interval of length at least $\epsilon$ contains an element of $G$. $\epsilon$ was arbitrary so $G$ is dense.
As the contrapositive of this, if $G$ is not dense then it has no limit points. In this case, let $a := \inf \{ x \in G, x > 0\}$. (This set is nonempty since $G$ is nontrivial and hence contains at least one positive number.) Since neither $0$ nor $a$ are limit points of $G$, $a > 0$ and $a \in G$. By construction, $a$ is the least positive element of $G$. (Moreover, $G$ is generated by $a$.)
We assume $G$ has no least positive element. Take $x_n \rightarrow 0^+$. Take a decreasing subsequence $(y_n)$ of $(x_n)$.
After each $y_i$, we insert additional terms equal to $y_i - x_j < y_{i+1}$, preserving monotonicity [possible, since we can make $x_j$ as small as we want], until the sum of all these terms exceeds $\frac{1}{i}$. We obtain $(z_i)$.
$S=\sum_{i=1}^{\infty} (-1)^i z_i$ is a convergent alternating series that is absolutely divergent by comparison with the harmonic series, hence by the Riemann series theorem we can rearrange terms to make it sum to any real number. Now, taking the partial sums of such a rearrangement, we obtain a sequence tending to any real number. Hence $G$ is dence in $\mathbb{R}$.

MARTINS FERRY - The annual Martins Ferry Christmas Parade, put on by the Martins Ferry Volunteer Fire Department, is scheduled for Friday night at 6:30.
Fire Chief Jack Regis is expecting another impressive showing for the parade, now in its 34th year under the department's direction.
Adding to the cause was Wheeling Hospital, which donated $2,000 to help put on the production, a sum that covers most, if not all, of the department's costs related to candy, trophies, refreshments and plaques that will be handed out.

WHEELING HOSPITAL made a sizable donation to the annual Martins Ferry Volunteer Fire Department Christmas Parade. From left, are: Assistant Fire Chief Mike Reese, Gavin Reese, Gregg Warren from Wheeling Hospital, Zayne Wallace and Fire Chief Jack Regis.
According to Regis, his department and Wheeling Hospital first hooked up earlier this year during the Betty Zane Days festival.
"We were looking for a sponsor for the parade and water battle for Betty Zane Days," Regis explained. "We've had a lot going on this year with Betty Zane Days, the 125th anniversary and other events and we didn't want to keep returning to the same advertisers."
Regis stated that a wife of one of the department members works at Wheeling Hospital and broached the subject of asking the hospital to get involved.
Gregg Warren, the Vice-President of Marketing and Public Relations for the hospital, came over and was more than happy to lend a hand on the hospital's behalf. At the time, he also told Regis that if any further assistance was required to not hesitate to call on the hospital again.
Regis did so for help with the parade and again, the hospital was able to oblige, donating the $2,000.
"It usually costs between $1,800-1,900 for the candy, refreshments before and after (the parade) and the trophies and plaques," Regis said. "The extra money will help with some of the behind-the-scenes stuff that the public won't see but will help us coordinate and run the parade more efficiently."
Regis noted that a number of local businesses contributed to the cause and were able to step up to the plate, like they do every year.
The parade gets under way at 6:30 p.m., with lineup slated for 4:30. It will start at Center St.., work its way down S. Zane Highway, turn on Hickory, head north on 4th St. and eventually turning west and finishing up on Hanover St.
After the parade, hot chocolate, hot dogs and chips will be served at the Liberty Fire Station on the corner of 5th and Center Sts.
Regis noted a good number of participants are already committed and ready to march in the parade. The one downside this year, according to the chief, came about because of the sale of the RG Steel facilities to various entities.
In the past, the department obtained the usage of the Yorkville plant's old 1946 fire brigade truck. The former fire chief's from the MFVFD would ride that truck throughout town.
Efforts are still being made to utilize the truck but Regis noted if it doesn't come to fruition, Staffalino Chevrolet in town has offered the use of a few vehicles to carry the former fire chiefs.
"So far, the weather report looks pretty good," Regis said, looking ahead. "We're hoping to get a lot of people out to enjoy the early holiday season.
"Santa will be there and I'm sure he's excited as well."

GENESEO, N.Y. - The State University of New York at Geneseo has been named to President Obama's 2010 Higher Education Community Service Honor Roll with Distinction, the highest federal recognition a college or university can receive for its commitment to volunteering, service-learning and civic engagement.
The Corporation for National and Community Service (CNCS), which administers the annual Honor Roll Award, recognized 641 colleges and universities for their impact on issues from literacy and neighborhood revitalization to supporting at-risk youth. The college is among 114 colleges across the nation named this year to the Honor Roll with Distinction - four are SUNY schools -- and it's the second year that Geneseo has received the distinction designation. The college has been on the honor roll every year since the program was launched in 2006.
"I commend our students for receiving the distinction honor this year," said Christopher C. Dahl, president of SUNY Geneseo. "Active community engagement is an important element of a strong liberal arts education and Geneseo students and faculty are engaged every day in the lives of others through service projects at the local, national and international levels."
The organization chooses honorees based on scope and innovation of service projects, percentage of student participation in service projects, the extent to which service-learning is embedded in the curriculum, the school's commitment to long-term campus-community partnerships, and measurable community outcomes as a result of the service.
In 2010, 4,155 Geneseo students engaged in general community service and academic service-learning for 78,933 total hours.
The organization recognized Geneseo specifically for five community service projects in 2009 -10:
"This honor recognizes that we have students and faculty very engaged in community service," said Tom Matthews, director of leadership education, development and training at Geneseo. "And the engagement is not isolated. It is widespread throughout the entire campus and that is very gratifying."
CNCS oversees the Honor Roll in collaboration with the Dept. of Education, the Dept. of Housing and Urban Development, Campus Compact and the American Council on Education.
